THERE IS A
FRIEND THAT STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER

…….There is a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24)

In this
world, we all have friends – people who we relate with, talk with, share with,
pray with and whose company we enjoy. But even the best of friends may
sometimes let you down or disappoint you in your hour of need; not because they
want to, but because they may be unavailable, or not have the right words to
say to you at that time. Then of course, it’s possible for them to get tired of
your “issues” and eventually give up on you, because they feel you aren’t going
to change.

But there’s
only ONE Friend that’ll never disappoint, fail, or give up on you! He is never
tired of you! His Name is JESUS CHRIST!
Those who know Jesus Christ as a friend don’t seek the help or favour of men! What
you need is to have a private, personal relationship with Him. And you don’t
need to go looking for Him, for He lives in you! You can talk with Him, and He
will talk to you. He is inside of you, yet He is with you. He can talk to you
inside you, and also talk to you from the outside! He’s the dearest friend you
could ever have, and He has the wisdom and ability to see you through the most
difficult of situations.

The Bible
says “…He (Jesus) is able also to save
them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make
intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).He’ll go any length to help you. He already
proved it through His death for you on the cross. He’ll never give up on you or
condemn you! Let Him be your closest friend; don’t be ashamed to identify
yourself with Him for He loves you exceedingly. He’ll never be ashamed of you
and He will ALWAYS be there for you,
even to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Start each day by saying “I love You Lord Jesus!” develop that
relationship with Him through His Word and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus Christ! You’re the
dearest friend I could ever know. No one can love me, believe in me and care
for me the way you do! You’re my best friend and the object of my deepest
affection. I love You with all my heart and desire to know and love You more
and more each day. Thank You for being My Lord, My Master and My Friend! Amen!

Satan Father Of Lies

SATAN FATHER OF LIES

When [the devil]
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father
of it (John 8:44)

Satan’s sway over mankind began when he turned the minds of
Adam and Eve against God. In order to pull it off, he had to lie to them about
God – and they had to fall for it. In that defining moment, he lied to them
about God’s goodness, God’s Word, and God’s intentions (Gen.3:1-6).

Satan is still up to his old tricks. Jesus said that when
the devil “speak a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar”.
(John 8:44). It should not be surprising, then that when trouble interrupts our
lives, the father of lies whispers in our ears and suddenly we are questioning
God’s goodness. When we are told to follow His commands, we wonder if His Word is really true in the first place.
When Jesus tells us things like, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth” (Matt.6:19), satan tells us that the good life is about piling up things
here, causing us to doubt God’s good intentions.

Our problem is that we, like Adam and Eve, believe satan’s
lies. And when we do, our loyalty to God is compromised. Then our enemy slithers
off to his next assignment, leaving us alone to face our regrets and the
realization that his lies have seduced us away from our truest and dearest
Friend. Who have you been listening to lately? – Joe Stowell

Satan can catch you by surprise

And stop you in your tracks,

So keep on guard and trust God’s Word,

Resist his strong attacks.-Branon

The power of satan is no match for
the power of God’s Word.

We are more than conquerors

No Greater LoveWE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS

Nay, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us (Romans 8:37)

To many people, the verse of the Scripture above simply
means that no matter what they face, they’ll conquer, but that’s a little blind
to the true meaning. To be “more than a conqueror” means that you’ve passed
conquering – you’ve grown past the level of conquering, because you conquered a
long time ago. You’re now living in the victory of Christ Jesus!

As a child of God, you don’t have to struggle or try to
overcome because you already overcame; you’ve won! Jesus said “Cheer up, I have
overcome the world” (John 16:33). When He overcame the world, you overcame the
world, for you were in Him. When He defeated satan and the cohorts of hell, you
were in Him, thus you defeated the devil and all his demons. Now that you’re
born again, you’re born into a life of victory. Don’t allow the circumstances
of life try to make you condescend to the level of trying to overcome anything;
you’re more than a conqueror. Let this be your way of thinking.

You’re not a victim but a victor. You won ever before there
was any battle. This is why 1 Timothy 6:12 referred to the fight of faith as a good fight.
You were declared winner ever before the fight! Become conscious of who you are
in Christ. You’re a victor in Christ Jesus. It’s no longer possible for you to
fail or be defeated in life, for the Greater One lives in you. He has made you
more than a conqueror.

CONFESSION

I’m a victor in
Christ Jesus. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I can
never fail or be defeated in life. My victory is assured in every circumstance
or situation I face! I’ve overcome the world and its systems. I’ve overcome
sickness, disease, death and the devil. I’m more than a conqueror.

You are the best of you.

Jesus, followed by Simon Peter and Andrew

Even every one that is
called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea,
I have made him (Isaiah 43:7).

The reason
many people still find themselves in unpleasant situations is that they have
not come to terms with their identity in Christ Jesus. You must realize that
you aren’t a part of the masses. Though you’re in the world, you’re not subject
to its rules and procedures.

From the day
you were born again, God gave you the ability to become the best of you that
you could be. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus met two fishermen (Peter and Andrew) and
said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. What interests
me here is not what they would become (Fishers of men) but that Jesus was the
One making them, and not they trying to become.

Therefore,
the issue isn’t what you’re being made into, but that God is the One making
you. If He makes you, nobody can unmake you! He lives in you to make you become
that dream that you have in your heart. You don’t need money to become what He
wants you to be.

You don’t
have to wait for promotion to take you from one level to another. You are a
child of God and you deserve the best. It doesn’t matter where you begin; what
matters is where you are going. Wake up, rise, shake yourself out of the dust,
and be the person God has ordained you to be because you can!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, thank You for choosing me
out of the world for Your glory. Thank You for the divine ability to become
whatever I want to be. I take advantage of this power that’s at work in me and
I bring forth durable fruit, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
