Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee (Isaiah 60:1).

God has called you to the life of glory, which is beyond the earthly realm. That life is the manifestation of His glory: The perfections, beauty and excellence of divinity resident in your spirit! This therefore means that the glory of God is in you.

Our Lord Jesus Christ walked and lived in the glory of God everyday while He walked on earth. The people living in His day saw God’s grace mightily at work in Him and testified to it: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth” (John 1:14)

God wants you to shine in the beauty and excellence of His grace which He has bestowed on your life. He wants you to excel in your job, academics, projects, relationships and all that you do, until the world begins to wonder at you. The way to make this happen is to meditate continually on God’s Word, for the glory is in the Word. Before long, that glory will rise from your spirit and be evident in your life, through your words, deeds, and ideas.

Confession

My life is an expression of the glory of God within my Spirit. Today, I am moving from glory to glory and excelling in all that I do. Many are coming to the knowledge of Christ Jesus through the radiance of God’s beauty upon my life! Hallelujah! Amen!

Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6)

It’s impossible for you to fail

This should be one of our favourite scriptures. It should always remind us of the fact that we’re not walking alone, and assures us that God is more interested in our successes than we could ever be. The Lord is the One perfecting our lives, ensuring success in everything we do. Hence, it’s impossible for us to fail!

Well, your personal experience of life may have been one of failure. However, the Bible says “…as He (Jesus) is so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Jesus never failed and there wasn’t a moment in His earthly ministry He wished He never came. You also must come to the realization that you shouldn’t fail; failure is inconsistent with your new nature in Christ Jesus.

Ignorance is what leads some Christians into difficulty. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”without the adequate knowledge of the Word, you can fail or remain in poverty or even be bound by one form of sickness or the other. So many have died this way in ignorance.

You need to know that God doesn’t get any glory from our failures or sufferings. He is glorified every time we take our stand on His Word!

Get into the Word today and walk everyday of your life in the glory of Our Heavenly Father! Amen!

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for bringing me out of darkness into Your marvellous light. Through the knowledge of the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, I stay strong and victorious every day. I’m more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus, and I declare that I will not fail, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

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

Faith A demonstration of God’s Word

Faith. A demonstration of God’s Word

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)

The Scripture above is the best definition of faith you can get. God had to define it for us because He knew we weren’t going to get a better definition in the world. A substance is a real physical matter that you can touch or relate with. If faith is the substance of your hope, it means faith is a real thing; it’s the tangible expression of your hope.

The Bible tells us of Father Abraham, who “being not weak in faith, considered not his body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God” (Romans 4:19-20). Abraham tangibly expressed his hope by giving praise to god; he didn’t allow his physical condition to discourage him. If there’s no substance or tangible expression to your hope, then there is no faith.

Faith is the evidence – the title deed of things not seen. A title deed is a legal document proving your right to a property; it maybe a piece of land or a house. This document authenticates your claim to the property. The same way, the Word of God is enough proof that you have what God has given to you. It doesn’t matter if others don’t believe you because they can’t see it, you already have the evidence and that’s what matters! Amen!

Confession

My faith is strong and operative. I refuse to cower in fear or timidity when faced with challenges or adverse situations, but I rise to the occasion, knowing that I am what God says I am and I have what He says I have and can do what He says I can do, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

Hope and Faithfulness: God cannot disappoint you, His faithfulness is forever sure

God cannot disappoint you, His faithfulness is forever sure. Hope and Faithfulness

Hope links with the future. Moreover, there is a link between hope and God because He is the One who controls tomorrow. Anyone in charge of tomorrow is definitely able to uphold hope.

Revelation 1:8 says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty”.

Hope is linked with tomorrow and God is the One who holds tomorrow. Do not let any man deceive you: no man holds tomorrow except God. This is why James warns against boasting about tomorrow while acknowledging that we need God – the one in control of tomorrow – to enter into tomorrow of our dreams (James 4:13-16). Many who bragged about tomorrow never lived to see it.

Another way God is linked with hope is through His faithfulness. Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that loves Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.”

God is extremely faithful. The quality of His faithfulness in keeping promises and agreements is unparalleled. There are some people around us who make simple promises that they can easily fulfil yet, they fail to fulfil them because they lack the discipline in faithfulness.

Putting all your hope in an unfaithful man can lead to great embarrassment and loss when the fellow suddenly disappoints you at a crucial time.

God cannot disappoint you! Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?”

God doesn’t only keep covenants but He is the greatest covenant keeper as He can fulfil His promise to an individual or a family for up to a thousand generations!

What a wonderful God we serve!

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

Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)

Little Chukwuemeka is a very good example of how kids think. He doesn’t ask his parents where his morning, afternoon or evening meal will come from. Neither does he fret over his clothing or shelter. He assumes all these things are his natural right and true to this they are.

It is ironic that most of us adults do not see God in this way. We end up doing all the worrying for God. Jesus said “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest upon your souls”.

The lesson here is simple and straight forward; the rest Our Lord Jesus Christ is talking about is not just our salvation, it covers every area of our lives, our finance, health and family. Let us learn to rest in the Lord. We can’t worry and “add a cubit to our height”. The carrier of the load is not complaining, why do you worry? Peter said; cast your burden upon the Lord. Why not pray and trust Him!

Stop carrying God’s load, He is not complaining!

The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers

“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12)

It is not how long we spend on our knees; nor how eloquently presented our prayer are before God’s throne of mercy; nor how long they may be; nor how sweet they may sound to the ears; nor how argumentative we are; nor how meticulous we are in presenting our prayers before God that moves God. No!

God looks at the heart! (1 Samuel 16:7)

Going to church, keeping vigils, and being actively involved in church activities are all good, but if you are not fervent, devoted, diligent, sincere and honest in your prayer life, you are missing out a lot.

God is not interested in numbers, eloquence, and length of time but a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite hear He will not despise (Psalm 51:17)

Pray and offer yourself to God in obedience.

Look upon God in prayers at all times, not just as the last resort, or because you have no other place or deity or human being to turn to.

Let prayer be the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Get hold of God through honest fervent prayers!

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

When God gives us a burden He gives us the grace to bear it: The sufficiency of God’s grace

2 Corinthians 12:9 says “My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Francis Xavier left wealth and position and set out across the world with the message of redemption through Christ Jesus.

It took energy and will-power for him to labour twenty-one hours out of twenty – four to learn to preach in twenty different languages in ten short years, to beg for passage on a troop ship, and later sail with pirates in unsafe vessels.

It took zeal and passion to sleep in tents with the Bedouins, cross the burning deserts and the snowy ranges of Asia.

It took commitment for Xavier to dare death in every form, shake hands with every ailment and diseases; endure the pangs of hunger and horrors of theft after a decimating shipwreck and bitter persecution. But he made a great impact in Japan.

Commitment is not a question of saying, Lord I will do it, but of doing it.

When David Livingstone was looking for people to come to Africa, he said, “If you have people who will come (to Africa) if they knew there were good roads, I don’t want them, I want men and women who are willing to come if there were no roads at all.”

Christ’s disciples stayed committed to him, we should do the same

When God gives us a burden He gives us the grace to bear it!

God loves you. He knows your name

“How great is the love the father has lavished on us…..” 1 John 3:1 NIV

God knows everything there is to know about you, including your past, present and future. He hasn’t missed a thing, and will never miss even the tiniest details of your life, for He neither sleeps nor slumbers.

He knows your name: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine” (Isaiah 43:1 NKJV).

He also knows your address: “I know….where you dwell…” (Revelation 2:13 NKJV).

And here’s the most amazing part. Even with full knowledge of your dirty past and present, He still loves you so dearly!

His love for you existed before you were born and it will still be there after you’ve gone to be with Him in paradise.

It is important that we hold to the truth that God never stops loving us even when He’s grieved by our actions.

“Why is that so important?” you ask.

Because God’s love is the magnet that draws us back to Him every time.

Caution: Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid! How shall we who have died to sin live any longer in it? (Romans 6:1-2)

Invoking God’s mercy.

“Save me from the hand of my brother Esau for I am afraid he will come and attack me and also the mothers with their children.” (Genesis 32:11)

Jacob was hunted by his past acts of fraud and deceit against his brother Esau, at the time he was about to meet him on his return back to his country. He was so afraid that Esau would take revenge for his past evil deeds by killing him. He however prayed to God to save him from his brother and God had mercy on him, God caused him to find favour before his brother and both were reconciled miraculously.

We sometime come to a point in our lives that we find ourselves in some sort of a quagmire and are unable to go forward. At such times, we need to recall our past and wattle any issues that we may come up with before God by invoking God’s mercy.

Jacob may not have been able to go beyond that point in his life but for divine intervention and mercy.

There is need also for anyone who finds himself in such situation to be very open and sincere before and with God. He must be willing to lay bare everything before God without holding anything back just as Jacob did when he told God that he was ‘a cheat and a fraud’ (which is the meaning of his name) when asked who he was (Genesis 32:27-28).

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrew 4:16)

We are Created For God’s Worship

“Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.” Psalm 100:2

God is hooked up so much on worship; He had to create mankind solely for that purpose – to supply Him worship. We are created for God’s worship – Period!

We are created to give Him pleasure, to give Him glory. The reason you are alive is to supply God true heartfelt spiritual worship.

Now, I’m not talking about singing songs either fast or slow; for that is just an expression of your worship attitude. It’s just an expression of the real thing.

The real thing is this – living your life, and ordering your conversation aright, solely to do God’s Will and bringing Him honour and pleasure. Going about your business strictly in a way that brings God pleasure; Loving your spouse and fulfilling your marital vows and duties to him or her in such a wonderful way that glorifies God, honours God and gives God pleasure; raising your children up in the fear of the Lord to gain His stamp of approval alone; playing to glorify God; reading; walking; talking; giving; serving others; in a nutshell – Doing everything you do deliberately to honour God. That’s a lifestyle of worship. That’s what we were created for.

The beauty of God’s plan is that as our lives give Him pleasure we also discover fulfilment that money, pleasure, fame nor power cannot give.

Whatever you do today; ask yourself “Am I doing it for God’s pleasure?”

He makes all things beautiful in His time! (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

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

See A Man Diligent In His Work, He Shall Stand Before Kings, He Shall Not Stand Before Mean Men

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before Kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” (Proverbs 22:29)

An army officer stopped to have his shoes shined by an Indian boy on the street. The boy launched into his task with such enthusiasm and vigour that the man was utterly amazed. He worked diligently until the leather sparkled with a brilliant lustre. The officer asked the boy why he took so much time to polish the shoes; the boy replied

“Last week Jesus came into my heart and now l belong to Him. Every time I shine someone’s shoes, I do the very best I can because I want Him to be pleased with me.”

Diligent people are always willing to work hard and make a very good use of everything their hands find to do, even when it is not always convenient. They work hard not because they want to become famous, rich or admired, but to serve and please God.

They prosper, make profit, enjoy favour, are successful and reap prosperity through hard-work.

Diligence is a vital part of wise living.

Be industrious and try to put care and effort into what you do as this will bring in blessings.

A diligent man will stand before kings.

Chores can be fun if seen as divine opportunities to serve God!

This thing called dating

THIS THING CALLED DATING

By Tomide (A Guest Writer)

“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

What is dating? I’m sure that’s a pretty easy question for us to answer. Although the dictionary gives us a somewhat different meaning, when we say two people are dating, we simply mean that they are romantically involved with each other and are possibly having a physical relationship with each other. Now, we Christians substitute the word “dating” with “courting”, but what we don’t know is that if we do not get our principles right, if we do not apply the “rules” of relationship that God has set down for us in His Word, then the two words are only different in the ways they are spelt and pronounced, nothing else.

One reason why we date is because we want to enjoy the emotional and physical benefits of intimacy without the responsibility of real commitment. I read a book once and one thing the author said really stuck. He said “Dating makes you want what you can’t (shouldn’t) have.” It doesn’t just make us want to have sex, it makes us want to kiss, touch and be touched sensually and invoke feelings that are better left concealed while we are still unmarried.

This is a call for us to be different. It is a call for us to take a daring attitude towards the dating game. It is a call for us to totally serve and honour God with our bodies and purified minds while we are single. It is a call to let go of ‘unfruitful’ relationships and allow God bring our partners our way at the right time. It is a call for us to say “game over”.

For a very long time, I had an aversion towards “Relationships”. I couldn’t explain why but I just didn’t want to be involved in the whole dating game. While some of my age mates (and even people younger than me) were already boasting of numerous boyfriends, I could only boast of none – zero! I got called different names from “weird” to “lesbian” (by the way, I’m perfectly straight) all because I refused to join the game. So yes, we will be called names, we might feel odd in the midst of people with different opinions but let’s choose to stand for Christ and serve Him with all our might while we are single and not distracted.

It’s time for us to stand up and be the “Holy Nation” that God has called us to be!

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

BE CONSCIOUS
OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS

Jesus said unto him, have I been so
long time with you, and yet have thou not known me, Philip? He that has seen me
has seen the Father….. (John 14:9)

When Jesus
walked the earth, He had the consciousness of a king that distinguished Him
from the crowd. He had no consciousness of lack and He always confidently spoke
words that amazed the religious people of His day.

One day, He
said “the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.”
Jesus knew His Words weren’t empty; He
was conscious of His divinity and boldly declared it. In John 6:38 He said “for I came down from Heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the will of him that sent me.”
  What boldness and audacity! Everyone knew Him
as the son of Joseph the carpenter, yet He declared He came down from heaven.
Only a man who knew who He really was could speak this way. No wonder He had
absolute mastery over the circumstances of this world.

Again, in John 8:12, He said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows
me shall not work in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
  Can you beat that? He didn’t come talking
about the light, but says, I am the light of the world.” No wonder the soldiers
that were sent to arrest Him one time, after hearing Him speak, concluded “No
man ever spoke like this man.” (John 7:46)

But did you
know Jesus also spoke about you and said “You are the light of the world?”
(Matthew 5:14). Therefore everywhere you go, you ought also to declare with
gusto, ‘I am the light of the world!” be conscious of who you are in Christ
Jesus, be bold to call yourself what God has called you.

Jesus gave
us an example to follow of how to live victoriously on the earth. His
consciousness of who He was controlled everything He said and did. You also can
live as successfully as He did by following this principle. But first you need
to have the Holy Spirit, for He’s the one who brings boldness into your spirit
by making the consciousness of who you are in Christ Jesus real to you.

CONFESSION

I have in me
the consciousness of a victor. I know who I am and I walk in the consciousness
of this reality. I’m the light of the world and the salt of the earth. I walk
in prosperity, peace, and divine health. Nothing can stop my progress for I
have in me the yeast of greatness! Greater is He that is in me than he that is
in the World! Amen!

WE ARE
COMPLETE IN CHRIST JESUS

And ye are
complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians
2:10).

We’re living
in the last days, the days of intense pressures and challenges. However, it’s
important you realize that God has given His children divine ability to quell
every machination of the adversary. You’re complete in Christ and superior to
satan. The more you study the Bible, the more you’ll discover that you’re
thoroughly furnished to handle any situation, for you are God’s house (1
Corinthians 3:16), His Living Tabernacle.

Some houses
which are constructed today are customized and well – furnished with the latest
high – tech equipment. Most of their facilities and accessories are fully
automated and activated at the push of buttons. Even if there’s a problem, you
can easily troubleshoot and fix things by simply pushing some other buttons.

You are
God’s customized building; specially designed by Him. Also He has given you
what I call “The push-button life”. This
means that you don’t have to struggle for anything; you’re complete and thoroughly
furnished to advance the course of the kingdom of God.

Everything
you require to live in victory the rest of your life is inside you already.
When there’s a problem, you know what button to press: you can pray in the
Spirit and speak in other tongues, issue commands in the Name of Jesus or sow
seeds to frustrate the plans of the adversary. You’re full of resources to
cause a change in any situation; you’re never out of ideas on what to do. This
is why the Child of God cannot be disadvantaged regardless of the situation.

When problems
come, you can be still, for God has raised a standard against the adversary in
your life (Isaiah 59:19). Christ is in you; hence, you can press the necessary
buttons in you to frustrate his plans. You shouldn’t, therefore, settle for
anything less.

PRAYER

Dear
Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me the victorious life and the
supernatural ability to cause changes in any situation. You have fashioned me
for greatness and furnished me unto good works. Therefore, I ask that you open
my eyes and enlighten my heart in your Word, so that I may comprehend fully
every gift and ability in me, and teach me also to use the same to the glory of

Your Holy Name! Amen!

WE ARE KINGS
AND PRIESTS

And has made us unto our God Kings
and Priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10)

Jesus said
in Matthew 18:18 “Whatsoever ye shall
bind on earth shall bind in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.”
Here, Jesus didn’t mean that as you bind something
on earth, God does the same thing in heaven. No. He meant that when you bind
something on earth, you’re making a decree, and that decree is upheld by God in
heaven.

God has made
us kings, (Revelation 5:10), and the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 8:4, “Where the Word of a king is, there is
power.”
As God’s Words carry and transmit power, your words also have in
them creative ability to produce for you a harvest of what you say. Sadly, not
many Christians have operated in this power; some have only been used to
religious Christianity, where they beg God for everything.

You’re a
King, and kings don’t beg; they make decrees. Job 22:28 says, “Thou shall also decree a thing, and it
shall be established unto thee…..”

The reason you can make decree or issue commands and have them
established unto you is because you’re acting on the Word; you’re taking your
place as God’s King-Priests, ordained to reign in the earth.

Quit crying
or begging God to do something about your situation; decree the Word of God
concerning that matter and effect a change. Take advantage of your office
today; live as the King that you are, issue decrees and see them come to pass.

CONFESSION

I declare
right now by the power of God’s Spirit that I’m reigning in life-in my health,
finances, job, and in every area of my life. The glory of God is manifested in
me and I walk in the victory and dominion of Christ today. I manifest success,
glory and excellence, by the power of The Holy Spirit. Amen!
