YOUR SUCCESS
IS GUARANTEED

Everything required
for your success has already been done by God. The works were finished from the
foundation of the world. Now, when the Bible says that the works were finished
from the foundation of the world, as in Hebrew
4:3, it’s important you recognize that this is the actual truth. Everything
concerning your success, health and prosperity has been taken care of. So, you
don’t have to struggle in life anymore.

You don’t
have to be defeated in life or give up hope. You don’t have to struggle for
anything. No wonder the Bible says we’ve entered into God’s rest (Hebrews
4:10). Everything you need for success and prosperity has been made available.

God wants
you to know that you’re not the poor trying to be rich; you’re the rich
discovering your inheritance. You’re not the sick trying to be healed, for the
genes of divinity are in you. Thus no sickness, disease or infirmity can thrive
in your body. You must have this consciousness. For the Christian, failure is
absolutely unnecessary. If you’d pay attention to God’s Word and make certain
to do what it says, you’ll never be defeated in life.

Believe today
and act as one who’s been established on the path of success and victory. You’re
not one merely trying to make ends meet. God made you a success ever before you
came on the scene. He made you a victor and ordained your prosperity before you
were born. No wonder He says in 1 Corinthians 3:21 that all things are yours. He
wants you to begin to enjoy all things. Nothing in this life is too good for
you, for you’re the seed of Abraham. Relate with, and function in this truth
today!

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You
and rejoice at Your Word that has made me realize Your eternal plans of honour,
prosperity, progress and victory for my life. I’m grateful to know that you’ve
already ordained me to shine daily in life, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

Worship Is Sacrifical

WORSHIP IS
SACRIFICAL

READ: Genesis 22:1-14

“Take with you words,
and turn to the Lord: say unto Him, ‘Take away all our iniquity, and receive us
graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.”  (Hosea 14:2)

Worship is
not just singing worship songs or bowing down before God because of our
expectation of what to get from Him.

Worship is
multifaceted; it is more than singing songs of praise and dancing or giving to
God. Singing or other means of worship are just the acts of worship, but our
heart connection with God is the most important and honouring to God i.e.
having a heart that sings worships not just a mouth that sings worship songs.

Looking at
Abraham, our father of faith, in that time and age there was no church where
praise and worship could be conducted yet he knew that worship in the sight of
God meant life.

The secret
of worship, as required by God is obedience and faith. In our case we may
consider an Isaac to be our quality time, that which cost you something, our
possessions or even our careers or ministries.

Abraham did
not kill his only begotten son eventually, for God provided a ram of worship.
God blessed Abraham for bringing a life offering to Him. He ultimately yielded
his life to God. God cut a covenant with him there and blessed him.

Make me a worshipper, and one after
Your Own heart, O Lord!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from
all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Walk in the steps of Father Abraham

WALK IN THE
STEPS OF FATHER ABRAHAM

And Melchizedek King of Salem brought
forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the Most High God. And he
blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abrahm of the Most High God, possessor of
heaven and earth: and blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. (Genesis 14:18-20).

Abraham was
the first person recorded in the Bible to give tithes. He gave tithes to
Melchizedek over 430 years before the Law was given to the children of Israel,
proving that tithing existed before the Law.

The Bible
tells us Abraham is the father of faith, and that all those who are of faith
are children of Abraham, and we belong to Christ Jesus! “And if ye be Christ’s,
then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians
3:29).

Abraham
demonstrated his faith by giving tithes of all to Melchizedek, who was a
manifestation of Christ to him. The Bible admonishes us to walk in the steps of
the faith of father Abraham (Romans 4:12). When you give your tithes, you’re
walking in his steps of faith. You’re affirming yourself as a child of faith
and a seed of Abraham and you can expect the blessings of Abraham to be yours
also.

Instead of
giving your tithe just because you were commanded to do so, which is good,
start giving it with understanding and by revelation. Begin to act by faith in
giving your tithes. Rejoice and thank God every time you give it. Then you can
enjoy the full benefits of it.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father! You have made
me a partaker of the Abrahamic blessings through Our Lord Jesus Christ. I
present my tithes to You as a token of my covenant relationship with You and
the connection to the Abrahamic blessings. Therefore, the devourer is rebuked
from my finances, every form of sickness is destroyed and failure is completely
removed from my life, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

In everything give thanks

30 Days of Thanks - November 5

Image by rachel_titiriga via Flickr

IN
EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS

In everything give thanks: for this
is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

God wants
you to live a life of thanksgiving everyday; He wants you to cultivate a
mentality of gratitude regardless of your situation. Someone may ask, “Am I supposed
to give thanks for challenges and problems” The Scripture didn’t say we should give
thank for all situations; it says we
should give thanks in all
situations.  In other words, your life
should be full of thanksgiving no matter the situation. The Bible tells us that
we know that all things work together for good to them who love God (Romans
8:28). Therefore, it doesn’t matter what happens in your life or around you,
give thanks to God, for He has given you the victory already!

No matter
what you face in this life, God expects you to be able to smile, lift your
hands and say, “Lord, I give You thanks!” The Bible says, “Whatsoever ye do in word or
deed, do all in the name of The Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
by Him” (Colossians 3:17). The reason the Bible says that you are
peculiar (1 Peter 2:9) is that when everyone is having a hard time, you’re able
to lift your hands in the midst of it all and say, “Lord, I give You thanks!”

You have to understand
that as a child of God, it is impossible for you to be disadvantaged and this
is why the Lord expects you to give thanks. There is no need to complain or
grumble about the situation because you have already overcome! Learn how to get
alone, lift your hands towards heaven and say, “Lord, I give thanks to You!”
when you cultivate this lifestyle, angels will always be mobilized on your
behalf and you will live in the will of God. A lifestyle of gratitude attracts
blessings and favour to you. Give thanks to God always!

PRAYER

Lord, I give thanks to You! I lift my
hands in thanksgiving, and I offer to You the fruit of my lips, giving praise
to Your Name. I thank You for making me a master over all of life’s situations
and circumstances. No matter what I face, I have the confidence that victory is
mine, in the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

I Wish Above All Things That You May Prosper and be in Health

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS THAT YOU MAY PROSPER AND BE IN
HEALTH, EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS

Beloved, I wish above
all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth (3 John vs. 2).

This scripture reveals God’s desire for every one of His
children: He’s interested in our financial and physical well-being! However,
the degree of financial and physical prosperity we enjoy is determined by the
degree of prosperity in our souls.

You see, your soul prospers as you receive the Word of God
and lay it up in your heart, as you fix your gaze on God and set aside every
weight of sin that has beset you. God gave Joshua the key to God’s kind of
prosperity in Joshua 1:8; “This book of
the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt mediate therein day
and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have
good success.”

As you meditate on God’s Word all the time and observe to do
it, you’ll have good success. Notice it doesn’t say “…..thou shalt have success….”
But “…….thou shalt have good success.” “Good Success” isn’t
the world’s kind of success. “Good Success” isn’t the world’s kind of success
but God’s kind of success.

Job 22:22-24 also gives some insight into this subject: “Receive, I pray thee, the law from His
mouth, and lay up His words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almight, thou
shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt
thou lay up gold as dust and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.”

Notice the order: First , you must receive the Word, lay it
up in your heart, return to Him and put away iniquity (sin) far from your
house. Then, you will surely lay up gold as dust and continually enjoy success
and prosperity, God’s way.  Why? It’s
because “….the Almighty shall be thy defence….” (Job 22:25). Put simply, God
Himself ensures that this kind of prosperity is sustained. He defends you and
everything that belongs to you, for they belong to Him too.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for giving me Your Word. I receive it with meekness and faith, and
lay it up in my heart that sin will be far from my dwelling. I declare
therefore, that I am prospering in my soul, in my body, and in my finances
through Your Word, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

The link between your prosperity and your deliverance

THE LINK BETWEEN YOUR PROSPERITY AND YOUR DELIVERANCE

A dear friend of mine, who is a minster of God, once shared
the testimony of how his daughter got sick and wouldn’t get well even after
series of intense prayers. The doctors couldn’t diagnose what was wrong with
the little girl. Her lips became black and everyone who saw her wondered what
kind of sickness she was suffering from. Every attempt at getting the child
well just didn’t work. Then he opened his wardrobe and packed out all his suits
which were about thirty and took them to church, and gave them as an offering.
After a few days of giving that offering, his daughter was restored back to
health!

The Bible says, “A rich man can buy his way out of
threatened death by paying a ransom….” (Proverbs 13:8 AMP). You see, the things
God has given you aren’t just for you to store up and look at. They’re for you
to redeem your soul. They’re for you to ransom your life and that of your loved
ones. There are times when all your talking and quoting of Scripture wouldn’t
be enough. At those times, only a sacrificial offering will settle the problem!
Therefore, all you need do is look around your house and pull out that
sacrifice and place it on the altar of God. A lot of Christians don’t
understand this stuff and that’s why they get into all kinds of trouble.

When you study Solomon’s life you’ll discover that the key
to his success was in his giving; he was a man who distinguished himself with
the amount of offering he brought to the altar. Not even David, his father,
gave as much as he did. This was why God appeared to him after his phenomenal
sacrifice and said, “Ask what you will”  (1 Kings 3:2-5). His giving endeared him to
the heart of God.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for empowering me with everything (including wisdom and substance)
to ward off the onslaught of the enemy in my life and that of my loved ones.
Let the sacrificial offering I bring to Your altar be acceptable sacrifice
that’ll take me to a higher level in life, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

The Virtuous Woman

THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN

What a girl to do?

Some people have the mistaken idea that a woman should be
very concerned about her looks, up on the latest fashions, and look out for
herself.

But that’s not what God describes in the Bible. The woman
described in proverbs 31 is an excellent wife and mother. She is able to
balance both career and family. It may surprise you that her appearance is
never ever mentioned! This is because the best kind of attractiveness is an
inward beauty. It comes from a woman’s character.

See this woman as an inspiration to be all you can be!

Who can find a
virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband
can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him
but help him all her life.

She finds wool and
flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant’s ship; she brings her food
from afar. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and
plan the day’s work for her servant girls. She goes out to inspect a field and
buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She is energetic and
strong, a hard worker. She watches for bargains; her light burn late into the
night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fibre.

She extends a helping
hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy.

She has no fear for
winter for her household because all of them have warm clothes. She quilts her
own bedspreads. She dresses like royalty in gowns of finest cloth.

Her husband is well
known, for he sits in the council meeting with the other civic leaders.

She makes belted linen
garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.

She is clothed with
strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future. When she
speaks, her words are wise and kindness is the rules when she gives
instructions. She carefully watches all that goes on in her household and does
not have to bear the consequences of laziness.

Her children stand and
bless her. Her husband praises her. “There are many virtuous and capable women
in the world, but you surpass them all.

Charm is deceptive,
and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly
praised.  Reward her for all she done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.  Proverbs 31 :10-30

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria
and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Supernatural success

SUPERNATURAL SUCCESS

This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and
night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good
success (Joshua 1:8)

Supernatural success is total, all – round success in all
area of your life. It means that you are excellent in every single aspect of
your life. God doesn’t want you to experience success in some areas and failure
in other areas of your life. He desires that you become an all round success.

The recipe for supernatural
success which GOD gave to Joshua is to “meditate” on the Word of GOD day and
night. The Bible says, “Meditate upon
these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to
all” (1 Timothy 4:15). If you would meditate on the Word, everything that
you do will prosper: you will be a good businessman, a good father, a good
mother, a good wife, a good husband, and of course, a good Christian. There’s
no area of your life that will be lacking if you will do this. Meditation will
cause you to do the Word, and it’ll produce results in every area of your life
(Psalm 1:1-3).

You can have supernatural success;
just make up your mind today to meditate consciously on the Word. Every area of
your life will be balanced, and you will be a success all-round.

PRAYER

Dear LORD, thank You for teaching me the secret of supernatural
success. I declare that I am excelling in every area of my life by Your Grace
alone! I thank You for I know that as I meditate on Your Word, all that
concerns me is perfected in Christ Jesus. Amen!

Divine Appointments. God Can Turn Obstacles Into Opportunities.

DIVINE APPOINTMENTS! GOD CAN TURN OBSTACLES INTO
OPPORTUNITIES!

Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them. Acts
16:25

Have you ever been stuck in an airport? For 24 hours? In a
city where you can’t speak the language? Four thousand miles from home?

It happened to a friend recently, and we can learn from his
response. While most of us would find such an inconvenience intolerable, my
friend John saw God’s hand in his delay. As he waited out his forced stay, he
looked for opportunities to connect with fellow passengers. He “happened” to
find some fellow Christians from India – and in talking to them he heard about
a ministry they were involved with.  In
fact, because John’s interest matched his new friends’ ministry, they invited
him to India to participate in a short – term project.

How often do we experience delays, changes of plans, and
redirections and treat them as intrusions? It could be that God is detouring us
so we can do something different or new for Him. Consider Paul’s trip to
Philippi in Acts 16. He had gone to Macedonia because of a God-directed vision
(vv.9-10). How could he know that he would end up in prison there? But even
that trip to jail was God-led, because He used Paul to bring salvation to a
jailer and his family (vv.25-34).

God can use inconveniences in our lives if we look at them
as divine appointments. – Dave Branon

“Disappointment – His appointment,”

Change one letter, then I see

That the thwarting of my purpose

Is God’s better choice for me. – Young.

God can turn obstacles into opportunities!

May God Almighty prosper Nigeria and
Israel and defend them from all their enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
