HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Sun, October 11, 2020 Topic: Preserved Life ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. John 19:39-40 KJV The women, with Nicodemus went with spices to preserve the Body of Jesus. Believers are the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27. The above is also a figure of what the New Testament Church ought to do with respect to the spices, ointment and fragrance, which are symbolic for the prayers of the Saints (golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. Revelation 5:  .The altar of incense in the tabernacle of Moses was meant to offer up the spices as a sweet smelling odour unto the Lord. Exodus 30. There're some specially called into this Intercessory priesthood. We are at a time when the prayers of the Saints for the church is most needed. Take up your responsibility and intercede for the saints. The church of Christ is one. Persecution of believers in certain regions of the world does not mean we in other regions are unaffected. Hear what Paul said: And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Corinthians 12:26. This is the reality of the Church. An understanding of the Body as an individual, and as a Church will place us aright to take up the intercessory role of Saints. We are all priests according to Revelation 5:10, and one of the chief roles of a priest is intercession. It's time to do away with all selfish desires and denominationalism. The enemy can't prevail against a united church. For this reason, Jesus said He will build his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18. The church needs to comes into perfect unity. Ephesians 4:12-13. How do we intercede for the Body? The Bible tells us we don't how how to pray as we ought to. Hence, we are told to pray in the Spirit. Romans 8:26-27. There are many right now who are perceiving the coming wave, and they are carrying burdens within their spiritual wombs. They find that they can't sleep well at night because we must all stand in the gap. There are angels who have been sent to many as a result of the calling they've been given. I pray you are sensitive to the move of God in this season. Reminder: Watch and pray. |

New age doctrines, yoga, demonic-meditations, emptying your mind, crystals, sage, the moon, sound-healing, reiki, witchcraftery, veganism, the seeker(law of attraction), horoscope-meaning/interpretation/application, occultism, Kama-sultra, mahanta, re-incarnation, voodoo, charms, unbelief-in-the-gospel e.t.c. will never bring any enlightenment to your life/mind as human being rather a temporal fleet of feeling happy then an instant swap of *demonic horrors, attacks and torments* and if the mercy of God does not prevail over judgment such a person will die and be swallowed-up in eternal damnation in hell-fire. Let us not hesitate to obtain mercy from the throne of grace for those who are unbelievers in the gospel of Jesus Christ Crucified that they may use the grace of God in their lives to accept the unbroken eternal relationship of God which offers *the only peace human souls are longing for* and do not hesitate to tell them no matter how *judgmental/hurting/unbearable to their background beliefs/ideology* it might sound that they need to humble themselves, reject such deceitful invocations(quest for abstract powers) and accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their lives. Hell-fire does not just start after death, it is the torment of any human soul whether biologically dead or alive who has not *completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ Crucified*. These people are going through *torturous lifestyle* even though physically they will abuse us; who come to come to share the gospel with them but with the eyes of Christ at work in us through His Holy Spirit we know that they are like sheep without a shepherd thus "Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 *But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.* 37 Then He said to His disciples, *“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest*. ” (Matthew 9:35-38 NKJV) Let us not give up praying to obtain mercy from the throne of grace for unbelievers in the gospel and sharing the unadulterated gospel with them no matter how terrible there situations seems or how hardened they appear in sinfulness or how pleasurable their lives appears at the surface or how coordinated their false religion appears even with their persecution against the body of Christ for Jesus also died for their redemption on the Cross thus "....this is the grace of God that Jesus Christ tested death for *every human being* " (Hebrews 2:9) Anybody who starts cursing and giving-up on unbelievers in the gospel no matter how persecuting and aggressive they appear, has turned into the enemy of Jesus Christ because such a person is praying that the life sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross for each human being including such people should be wasted and such person(s) should be sent into hell-fire fast-fast thus Jesus rebuked his own disciples who wanted to call down fire on those who denied him access through their country just like Elijah thus "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village." (Luke 9:54-56) Those of us who are saved now should remember that we were once sinners but *His mercy found us and we collaborated with the grace of Salvation* hence we have nothing to boast because what we have now is *not by merit but by HIS MERCY* hence we should stand in the gap on the throne of God's grace obtaining mercy for ourselves to have grace to remain on this throne of grace faithfully till the end and for those who have not collaborated with the grace of salvation to receive HIS MERCY also. "For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." (Romans 9:15-16) "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) "And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” (Matthew 9:11-13) We do not go to the throne of grace to obtain mercy for grace of salvation, holiness, marriage, job, academic-success, career-expertise/promotion, miracles, deliverance, healing e.t.c. and come down then when we need another thing, we go their collect and come down again (in sin, flesh and worldliness) rather *we abide on the throne(inside the crucified body of Jesus Christ through faith in a heart to heart fellowship with His Holy Spirit)* such that His resources *flows ever fresh through us* hence "I am the vine, you are the branches. *He who abides in Me, and I abide in him, bears much fruit;* for without Me you can do nothing. 6 *If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.* 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." (John 15:5-8 ) This is because "It is inside HIM(Jesus Christ Crucified), we live, we move and we have our being/existence" (Acts. 17:28) Great Grace Brethren!!! 1 Like |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Mon, October 12, 2020 Topic: Flowing With God ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. Exodus 40:36-38 KJV I believe wisdom is being sensitive to God's impulse to know what to do per time. The children of Israel journeyed from Egypt to Israel at the impulse of God. He was a cloud by day, and pillar by night. It is God's desire for His children to follow His footsteps and leading. We don't know what will happen a second from any moment. All the battles the Israelites won during their sojourn was because they paid attention to God's leading. Man's wisdom can't go far, but God has given us the Holy Ghost to lead us in His way, and not ours. It is wisdom to know God's assignment for our lives. It will eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks. Let your life be inspired by God, and you will always be at peace. Many are in one uncertainty jumping into the next because they won't let God direct them. Our Lord always flowed with the Holy Spirit, and all men sought Him. Mark 1:37. What God has designed for everyone is to make us a blessing to all. Isaiah 62:7, 1 Peter 2:9. If we would care enough to find out from Him, and allow His guidance, we would be truly blessed and bring God glory. The more we spend time with God, the better we will be at hearing his voice. God requires we give Him our time and hearts. Reminder: Thus saith the Lord , thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isaiah 48:17 KJV |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Tue, October 13, 2020 Topic: Don't Live Like A Swine ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. Luke 8:32-33 KJV Have you noticed why the demons begged Jesus to send them into a herd of pigs? Demons only thrive in filthy, unclean and putrid places. They can't enter a place that has light or life. It's the reason why we still talk about sin in the New Testament. Jesus dealt with the sin issue, but many won't let go of sin. Jesus did not object to their request. Someone may say, but those pigs were innocent. We may also say uncleanness is the pig's nature. But in the beginning it was not so. This is why we had clean and unclean animals in the Old Testament. Some animals were corrupted as a result of the fall. Psalm 82:5, Genesis 7:2. This is the whole essence of redemption, not for man alone, but for all of God's creatures. Romans 8:19-22. There is no sane person who would want to have a demon breeding inside of them. However, you don't have to invite them with a letter. They come into your life through sin. You can't be patronising prostitutes and think you don't have more than one devil in you. Neither can you be jumping from bed to bed, and think you are free. It doesn't matter whether you are a believer, they will only avoid your spirit. God has opened my eyes to see these unclean spirits in various forms, shapes and sizes. They are filthy. Did you notice what happened to the pigs? They lost control, ran down a slope and were destroyed. This is the agenda of demons - to destroy the life of their host. If you have been living a life of sin, there is always hope for the living. Repent and forsake that lifestyle. Only through genuine repentance and continuing with the Lord, can you cast out these devils from your life. Reminder: Many problems in life are caused by devils that entered people through sin. Devils are the reason there is no peace on earth |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Wed, October 14, 2020 Topic: Sin Unto Death ✝️ The Spirit's Word: If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 1 John 5:16-17, 21 KJV Apostle John wrote to some of his converts in his day to warn them about the sin that leads to death. We are talking about spiritual death here. We know that all sin is unrighteousness, but if he got a revelation from God about sinning unto death, we better take note of it. He even talked about praying for the brethren whose sin isn't unto death as there is a clear demarcation. Idolatry was the first sin the Lord addressed right from the days of Abraham up till this day. He is a jealous God. Anything that takes the place of God in a life; and to be bold about it without a sense of guilt or repentance, can lead that soul to be caught off from the presence of God. Recall what God told Jeremiah: Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. Jeremiah 15:1. The Israelites were caught off on several occasions from God's holiness because their whoredoms were one too many. The Egyptians enslaved them, and so did the Assyrians and Babylonians. This hasn't changed. If you follow other gods, no intercession can prevail. That's what the Bible clearly states. We are instructed not to pray for such a person. We must be careful how we live our lives. There are multitudes of idols on the earth today. They come in forms that people frown at when mentioned. It is not to say we won't engage in other forms of activity for leisure, growth, development, etc. However, when we set our hearts on these things, a spirit of whoredom automatically displaces the Spirit of God. You make the decisions in your life, whether God stays or goes. It is solely you. This is what God said: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. Hosea 4:17-18. As a result of this judgment, Ephraim was omitted in Revelation chapter seven. God's spirit will never strive with man. Genesis 6:3. For this cause, Apostle John warns that we keep ourselves from idols. It could be money, sports, make up, games, betting, food, drinks, party and revelling. These things on their own are not from the devil. However, when you turn your heart to it, and as a result are no longer touched or moved by God because of it, you back slide into eternal darkness. It is important we evaluate our lives every moment, and every day to ensure our first love is still in place. Let God reign, and not choke. Reminder: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV |

Sexual immorality via media sharing and usage: what are you going to do with the video of a girl having sex with a dog ? Or What are you doing with videos/pictures of human beings having sexual-intimacy in your possession ? What are you doing with your eyes glued on movies that is discreetly exhibiting pornography ? What are you doing with such videos of sexual-immorality in your possession ? What are you doing with the naked picture of your husband/wife in your phone/electronic devices ? What are you doing by recording the sexual intimacy you had with your matrimonial spouse in your phones/electronic devices ? What is the biblical or Holy Spirit approval for matrimonial spouses having what they call sexual intimacy through voice or video-calls ? Do you want sexual demons to take over your life just through pornography ? There are human beings who are crying, praying and fasting to be delivered from such sexual immoral lifestyle which started just with *one inquisitive-click on the internet or sexual-immoral-chat to show they are "matured"* and they are in a deep mess that they need another being outside of them to set them free* ? Beware of what you are requesting or asking to view ? Beware of what you are insisting or requesting from your matrimonial spouse under the guise of exploring sexual intimacy in matrimony to the fullest, sexual-intimacy for matrimonial spouses is also aspect of your life that is meant to please God not for practicing pornographic-teachings found in videos or magazines or carnal medical personnel. As a Christian-couple, if you die while having sexual intimacy are you going to Heaven because such engagements was driven by your love to please a holy and loving God whose Son gave His life on the Cross for your salvation or will you be heading to hell-fire because you were trying to practice pornography/Karma-sultra/contraceptive-ideologies-practices or please yourself or please the demand/insistence of your spouse or practice what a carnal medical practitioner advised both of you ? We are created to please God in all things whether secret-marriage-engagements or public lifestyle thus "You art worthy, O Lord(GOD), to receive glory and honour and power: for You have created *all things*, and for *your pleasure they are and were created*." (Revelation 4:11) And we have obtained mercy and can always go the throne of grace to always obtain mercy and even remain perpetually on this throne of God's grace obtaining mercy to have grace to be pleasing to GOD in all things thus "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, *which according to his abundant mercy* hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." (1 Peter 1:3-5) "But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, *I will have mercy*, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but *sinners to repentance*." (Matthew 9:12-13) Repent from sin/flesh and call on the name of Jesus so that your soul may be saved and set free completely from the dominion of sin and eternal hell-fire which is the consequence-end for sinners... Any human being who calls on the name of Jesus Christ Crucified for salvation shall be saved completely at any point in time (Acts. 2:21, Hebrews 7:23-25) And if the Son of God; Jesus sets any human being free that person shall be completely free from sin and its control and eternal condemnation (John 8:36) Great Grace Brethren!!! |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Thu, October 15, 2020 Topic: Sin Unto Death (Part 2) ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV Yesterday, we saw that idolatry is the sin that leads, even believers, unto death. The number one form of idolatry today is whoredoms or fornication, adultery, perversion and prostitution. Apostle Paul told us God will destroy anyone that defiles His temple. Our bodies are the temple of God. This is a serious matter, considering the level of lasciviousness and lusts in the world today. Even believers are now partakers of all these things. We're talking about believers. Anyone who bows to other gods in their shrine can't be a believer. So, the idolatry that occurs in the church is setting the heart on carnality or vanities, and also fornication. When you commit these vile sins, devils become one with you. The union of marriage is that two become one flesh. Mark 10:8. It didn't say one spirit, or one soul but one flesh. If you think the flesh isn't important, think again. It was only possible for Jesus to bring salvation and redemption through the flesh. The flesh must be held in sanctification and honour. 1 Thessalonians 4:4. The world is filled with darkness since the fall of man. It's a sanctified vessel that grants permission to Him here on earth. 2 Chronicles 7:14. God dwells in light and He is holy. How terrible is this sin? Hear what Paul said: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18. Truly, Jesus paid the price for our body, soul and spirit with His blood. It is a great dishonour to live in sin. Christ has become our holiness and righteousness. But where are the fruits of it? It is our personal responsibility to bear fruits of righteousness and holiness unto the Lord. This is not to be justified, but to the praise and glory of God. If God weren't concerned about us living a life of righteousness and true holiness, He wouldn't have to give that warning in the opening Scripture. It says God will destroy anyone, whether you are a man of God or not, that defiles His holy Temple. How can you read this Scripture and still fall into the sin of fornication? Only the perfectly rebellious will take God's grace and mercy for granted in such a way. Our focus must be on becoming more like Christ inwardly and outwardly, and not doing the lust of the devil. There are many who may be in this bondage. Don't let the stranglehold of the enemy keep you bound. God's Word is light that overpowers darkness. Get the Word into your spirit, and walk accordingly, and you'll be free. Reminder: It's not by your own power and might, but by the Spirit of the Lord of Host. Be conscious of the Holy Spirit's presence always. 1 Like 1 Share |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Fri, October 16, 2020 Topic: In League With Devils ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. Hosea 12:1 KJV The essence of telling people about the devil is never to instigate fear or unbelief, but to expose his strategies. The more we see how cruel and deceptive he is, the more we do all it takes to avoid him getting an advantage over us. The opening Scripture tells us about God's precious Ephraim, who turned back from God. It wasn't a one time decision. It happened gradually, until God saw how far back he had gotten from His presence. There is nothing profitable in the carnal nature. There is all to lose when we walk in the flesh. We're told that the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. This death may not be an abrupt one. The enemy will never give you reason to see his evil and wicked nature. He keeps you hypnotised until you no longer have what it takes to resist him or defend yourself. Don't feed on the wind. Have you ever seen anyone that said they caught the wind in a storage facility? It's pointless going after that whose end is devastation. Sin is a miry dunghill, just like quicksand. You find yourself sinking every time you frolic with the world's LovePeddler called sin. Desolation is the only thing to reap. Egypt is the house of bondage, and the Assyrian is the one that binds men in yokes. Don't let them take over your destiny. The devil only wants your glory. It's that simple. The Lord defeated him, and stripped him of all he got from man. However, he still goes about trafficking. When you sin, you trade your glory. The oil is the Anointing. The devil wants the Anointing of believers. Protect your oil. Reminder: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; Ezekiel 28:18 KJV |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Sat, October 17, 2020 Topic: One Thing Needful ✝️ The Spirit's Word: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42 KJV Many know the story of Mary and Martha. No doubt, they both love Jesus. However, Jesus told us Mary was doing the right thing, or what was needful. Jesus was in the house, but Martha was away from His presence, while Mary sat at His feet, listening to all that the Lord had to say. The presence of the Lord is what many don't have today. When we hear of the presence of the Lord, it is not that the Lord is absent. God is omnipresent. As a believer, you have God inside of you. However, many don't know how to relate with the Lord. It is not in our prayers. We can pray without being conscious of His presence. The reason we were created is for communion or a love relationship. It is all about fellowship. Once your heart is right, you will understand that God wants you to have Him in every fibre of your being. Let's not only see God as being far away in heaven, even though that's His throne. We must first acknowledge Him in us and with us, before any other thing. What's the best way to "be'' in the presence of God? It's by being quiet before God to hear His voice, and also when you take quiet times to study the Word. It's not about what you say to Him, but what He says to you. Remember what John the beloved told us: Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10. We must never substitute this for anything. He is the One who made us and not we ourselves. Psalm 100:3. Don't get too distracted in your service or whatever you think you can do for Him. He is satisfied when you practice His presence this way. This is true rest. The man who dwells continually in the Lord's presence is never lacking in any good thing. He knows God's timing and purpose. You can never go wrong in sync with God. Always pray in the Spirit, and sing songs of praise to keep your spirit man aglow with the fire of God. Reminder: If you get this right, obedience and submission to God will be as easy as breathing. |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Mon, October 19, 2020 Topic: Jesus Requires Fruits ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. Matthew 21:19 KJV A tree is first known by its stem, branches and leaves. This is what qualifies to be called a tree. God calls us trees of righteousness, or His planting. Isaiah 61:3. Remember when Adam and Eve sinned against God, they sewed fig leaves to cover their shame. From what God did, the leaves weren't sufficient for that. Genesis 3:7, 21. This shows us that God is not satisfied with just leaves. Jesus went to the fig tree hoping to find fruits thereon. He was disappointed when He didn't find any, and so, He cursed the tree and it withered. Jesus is looking for fruits in our lives. Let's not keep confessing scriptures without letting the Word of God produce in our lives. We ought to produce fruits of repentance by not going back to what God saved us from, and also, we produce fruits of righteousness. It is vain to just say you believe, and yet, nothing to show forth. Jesus Christ is not the minister of sin. Galatians 2:17. Remember what He told His disciples: Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8. If we are connected to Christ who is the true vine, let us bring forth the required fruits. We bear fruits as we continue in His Word, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Apostle James exhorts us to be doers of the Word, and not just hearers that deceive themselves. James 1:22. There is no man that continues with an unprofitable venture. Let us be profitable. Reminder: For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:8-11 KJV |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Tue, October 20, 2020 Topic: Love Always Intercede ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. Exodus 32:9-11, 14 KJV The above Scripture is one that showed the tender hearted Moses interceding for the Israelite. This is the same Moses these people stood against on several occasions. One important attribute of a man of God is love towards the flock or sheep. God can't appoint you over His flock if you won't care for them. One of the ways we show we love the flock is to stand in the gap for them. This is something every believer must be aware of. You haven't really prayed to God if there is no intercession for another person. Jesus told us to bless them that curse us, and even pray for them. Luke 6:28. This is the will of God for us all. It shows unity. And we know that love is the perfect bond of unity. Colossians 3:14. We have to understand that God can get angry. However, this is what He also said: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? Ezekiel 18:23. So next time you see a brother or sister sin or backsliding, this is the perfect time to intercede for them. When you pray for others, even your own sin is covered. It is a demonstration of love, and love covers a multitude of sin. 1 Peter 4:8. I know many people can be annoying and frustrating. Nobody is an angel. We all have issues that put people off. However, true wisdom is seeing everyone the way God sees them, and when they fall short, let's be quick to stand in the gap for them also. Remember Job sought for an intercessor to plead his case before God. He knew God would speedily hear the prayer of an intercessor compared to when he prays for himself. Job 9:33. Love always intercede. Don't judge. Reminder: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 KJV |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Wed, October 2, 2020 Topic: Don't Waste Grace ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. John 13:10-11 KJV Many of us are familiar with the above Scriptures. Jesus washed all His disciples' feet, and while at it, He told them they were already clean except for Judas who betrayed Him. What made them clean in the first place? The twelve walked with the Lord and heard His Word all the way. Recall, He once told them: Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15:3. We've to catch this revelation. The Word of God washes and sanctifies us. Some people feel unclean due to the things they've been through. It is important to know that the Word is the greatest thing Jesus gave us. Let's take the Word daily. It guarantees our sanctity. And when we are clean, the devil can't find anything in us. Apostle Paul said: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Ephesians 5:26. The more we look into the Word, feed on the Word, speak forth the Word; the more the Holy Spirit sanctifies us, making our souls purified. Thus, we have the mind of Christ. Judas, however, heard the Word daily, but it didn't profit Him. He wasted the grace of God that was made available to him. Don't take lightly spiritual things. The Word of God is spirit and life. John 6:63. We must show reverence for the Word. Don't take studying your Bible as a task in order to fulfil all righteousness. When you despise it, it can cost you painfully. Don't neglect the sanctification work of the Holy Spirit which leads to a transformation of the vessel. If you keep harbouring deceit, lies, evil heart, tricks, evil eye, revenge, etc., without letting the Word do a thorough work in you, how else can you be transformed. Don't remain a vessel unto dishonour. God only wants vessels of honour among his children. 2 Timothy 2:21. Judas got so deep in an evil heart that he totally forgot about repentance. That's what sin can do. Apostle Paul told us to exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13. This is what happens when you hold on to the Word on your right hand, and to sin on your left hand, and vice versa. You can't beat Satan at sin. He is the author of sin, but we have been delivered from his world of darkness. Reminder: Let's run with grace and truth, not grace and sin |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Thu, October 22, 2020 Topic: Secured and Protected ✝️ The Spirit's Word: And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 2 Timothy 4:18 KJV God gave me the above Scripture in the early hours of the morning. I want us to trust God to be our Keeper. We can't save ourselves, nor can we dwell secure all by our own ability. It is vain to even think we can overcome evil without God. Let it be known to us that the days of wickedness are before all men. The enemy knows he has a very short time, and for this reason, he has multiplied the intensity of darkness, and increased the job responsibilities of every single demon on earth. We see the violence that is taking place in the nation and other parts of the world. It is nothing more than the work of darkness. We have to understand that, in as much as God has given us battlements and armoury for war, it doesn't mean we should go in that ability. Jesus is our only hope in an evil day. Make no mistake, there is always an evil day for every single person on the earth. God is the One that delivers. Remember how the Lord taught His disciples how to pray. One line says, "deliver us from all evil". Luke 11:4. Don't get too wrapped up in Scripture that you now forget it's God that delivers through His Word and mercy. God doesn't only specialises on deliverance, but He will also preserve those that continue with Him. All we need is to trust Him totally. Let's not just get delivered and continue like that's all there is to it. The enemy doesn't forget anyone until he has destroyed that person. He is angry God has delivered you, and so he keeps trying to see that you live a miserable life. The Psalmist said, '' He that dwells in God's secret place shall abide under His shadow" Psalm 91:1. Let us be conscious of God. He is with us and doesn't want any evil to come near us. That's His heart and will for His children. We must be wise to avoid putting God to the test. Let's not go where He wouldn't want us to be. It takes our cooperation for the mighty power of God to be effective. Keep growing in His wisdom, and knowledge. Let us also grow in love. The power of God flows in the stream of His love. When you are full of love, you are full of God. And when you are full of God, His omnipotence is well within your reach. Ephesians 3:19-20. Make an effort to dislodge fear from your life. The script has been written. The people of God overcame. It doesn't matter the wrath of the enemy, it can't compare. Reminder: None can stand in the face of God, neither can anything stand against Him. Fear not, but trust |

Christ Righteousness with us should prevail over evil-tendencies: “Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by righteousness” (Romans 12:21) It is evil for the people we elected in power to open bullets at harmless protesters…. We speak out against this evil of wasting human lives in Nigeria…. Those who engaged in this barbaric attitude must be exposed and brought to justice starting from the president of Nigeria and Buratai who gave military personnel the authority to shoot bullets at innocent citizens of Nigeria to the state government of Lagos and the personnel who switched-off the CCTV Lights…… Let us not engage in vengeance with our own hands lest we kill innocent people and destroy our infrastructures while letting the culprits go unpunished as well as help the devil and our colonial masters achieve their purpose of seeing Africa remain retrogressive each passing day…. We pray for the souls of the dead to rest in peace. Amen. We pray that the healing mercy and grace from the throne of God’s grace will establish whole health upon the injured people in Jesus Name. Amen. Stay Safe Brethren, do not allow the devil to use you and set aflame our only country or shed human blood!!! It is the wish of the devil and the colonial masters of Nigeria/Africa to see us *aflame with dead humans littering every street*…… Do not give the devil opportunity in your life!!! Be still and know that I am GOD, A Superior Being over the Universe!!! A Superior Being over the nations!!! Peace from the throne of God’s grace, we decree upon Nigeria and residents of Nigeria in this turbulent times in Jesus Name. Amen. Abbah Father, let your mercy from your throne of grace prevail over judgment and the conspiracies of the devil over Nigeria in Jesus Name. Amen. 1 Like |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Fri, October 23, 2020 Topic: Revival Within ✝️ The Spirit's Word: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 57:15 KJV To understand Christianity, we must do all it takes to bring the truth in Scriptures into our lives. We must make it our reality. Everything written, especially in the New Covenant, spells the finished works of Christ. We are admonished to rightly divide the Word of truth. When I see a Scripture such as our opening verse, it is expedient for me to meet the condition to make it a reality. God dwells with the contrite and humble person to revive the heart. Do I want a revival within? If yes, then I must wear humility and contrition as a garment. Pride must be far from me. God speaks in eternity. It is finished from the foundation of the world. Hebrews 4:3. If you are a student of the Bible, you ought to have seen almost all the writers talk about the foundation of the world. Nothing is new to God, it is only new to us. Therefore, when I see a Scripture that pertains to me as a Christian, a child of God, a Son of God or a friend of God, I latch unto it with faith in the finished works of Jesus. Also, many truths require an alignment. It is not by works, but can we stop praying, fasting or meditation? Can we stop good works, shining as lights, watching with all perseverance or attending church services? Certainly not. We ought to know that for a manifestation of these finished works in our lives, we must align. What would it take God to revive every human being within? It is a simple matter to Him, but His Word and principles are given to us. The works are finished, but there are ways to receive. Apostle Peter told us: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 1 Peter 1:20. Manifestation is earthbound. As men yet in this flesh, nothing will enter into the earth without our intense labour in spiritual matters. God gave man the earth to rule over it. The heaven's belong to God. We need authority, faith and the Word to permit spiritual things into the earth realm. Hence, when next you see a truth in Scripture, ask for the requirements. Most holy or spiritual things need an environment like humility to remain on earth and not get corrupted. This is how to view these things, and so it is not by works. We just align accordingly. Also, only spiritual people have respect for spiritual things. Reminder: Humility and holiness are the next things after faith in Jesus and all He accomplished. 1 Like |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Sat, October 24, 2020 Topic: Springing Up ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. Haggai 1:10 KJV We all want the good things of life. The opening Scripture is one that describes a principle. Heaven must rain down for any good thing to spring up on earth. If we accept and understand this law, it can only profit us as children of God. Every good thing has its origin in God. The Bible tells us: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17. God is constant. This law will never change. For this reason, our eyes are meant to be focused on God, and to be privy to times and seasons. The Bible let's us know there is a time for everything. The rain is not always falling all through the year. There are appointed times set by God when He sends rain - the former and latter rain. Zechariah 10:1. If we know this, and run with it, then are we truly wise in deed. Recall, the Jews did not know the hour of their visitation. It made Jesus weep for them. Times and seasons are fundamental to God. When I read how God stirred up the spirit of his prophets, which caused them to do the supernatural, I discovered anyone who would be great and have abundant testimonies must be sensitive to the moves of God. No matter how anointed you are, you can't just do whatever at your own timing. Jesus told us how it works. He didn't do those works by Himself or timing. As He saw the Father, so did He. The only law that overrides this is the law of faith. For this reason, many people still got their miracle from Jesus even though He wasn't sent to, or assigned to them. Matthew 15:24-28. What is that thing you are believing God for? Don't give up. God has appointed times, signs and season. He longs to make you a praise in the whole earth. This is His perfect will which will never change. If your situation requires you wait for the appointed time, don't despair. The longer the wait, the more glorious the spring. Let's keep looking out for His coming, on the day He sends the latter rain. On that day, nothing can stop you from springing forth. God's way of doing things is perfect. He told us:That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Job 21:30. It doesn't matter what the enemy may have orchestrated to hold you beneath the ground, when God rains down, you must surely spring up. Reminder: When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psalms 126:1 KJV |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Sun, October 25, 2020 Topic: Follow Good ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 3 John 1:11 KJV The above verse is a simple admonition. It says we ought to follow good and not evil. Although we all know this, but many find it hard to follow that which is good. It is not like the good isn't rewarding enough, or attractive enough, that makes many ignore this way. It is just the human nature which is carnal. Remember what the Apostle said: For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Romans 7:19. Life has been full of contradiction since the fall of man. Evil corrupted that which was good; darkness also entered that which was light. The true light is Jesus Christ, the only One who is good. Since we know there is no darkness in Him, for this reason, we must put our faith in Him to hide us from the evil and darkness present in us. Jesus is the only answer. He has given us the Holy Ghost as Helper, Teacher and Comforter. No man can do good on his own without the help of God. The Bible tell us that the earth is darkened and full of the habitations of cruelty. Psalm 74:20. These wicked spirits are more numerous that humans, and there is no human being that doesn't have a devil either monitoring him or her, and trying to cause you to sin, stumble or fall. We need God. How do we engage the grace of God to live this good life? We have to follow the One who alone is good. If you would just go with God, there is no cause for stumbling. Going with him all the way, in your thoughts and words, in your consciousness and also in your actions. Hear what Jesus said: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12. When we stop looking at Him, there is no other light elsewhere by which we may see. It'll only spell darkness when we shift our gaze. Too much of Jesus is never enough. Let your cup always be overflowing with Him, His Word, His Spirit and all that pertains to God. Anyone can backslide. However, you must also believe that it is not God's will for anyone to backslide. God is faithful and has made provisions that will keep us in the light until He appears. The Bible says: Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 1:24. Did you hear that? In God, there is no going backwards, or falling, or stumbling. He only desires we go forward, and for this reason He gives more grace when we ask. Reminder: Be supersaturated with the Word, and an increased consciousness of His Spirit in you, and with you |

HEAVEN'S DIGEST: Truth, Light & Bread Mon, October 26, 2020 Topic: Speedy Favour ✝️ The Spirit's Word: Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. Psalms 102:13-14 KJV There are not many scriptures that talk about God arising. We know the Bible depicts God seated on His throne in heaven, because He has been resting after creation. What could possibly get God so excited that would cause Him to arise. David told us it has to do with God favouring Zion. The Church of Christ is Zion as seen in Hebrews 12:22. We are God's mountain on the earth and He longs to favour Zion, His people, to be the glory and praise on the earth. This way, souls are won through the influence of God's people. Even God's favour is a means to an abundant harvest of souls. When King David wrote this Psalm by the Holy Ghost, the emphasis was on a physical temple or building. We know for sure that the New Testament calls Zion lively stones and the temple of God. 1 Peter 2:5, 1 Corinthians 6:19. God's love is unconditional, and He wants to show us how He favours His children. The Scripture show us that mercy comes before favour. Jesus is the reason we have obtained mercy from the Father. He abundantly poured out His mercy on us. What is mercy? The young Prophet Jeremiah defined it plainly for us: It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. Lamentations 3:22. Apostle Paul showed us too that God is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Ephesians 2:4. Again, Apostle Peter showed us from his epistle that sometime ago we hadn't obtained mercy, but today we have. 1 Peter 2:10. Don't let the enemy play on your mind with his tricks. Guilt and condemnation has been dealt with. Romans 8:1. We are told to come boldly to the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy. Hebrews 4:16. If you know and apply this truths well, happy and blessed shall you be. It takes faith to receive from God. And this is faith, when you are established and built up in the knowledge of His grace, mercy and righteousness. What does God require from you? Let Him be your joy, let His people be your delight, and let His house and kingdom be your focus and purpose with exceeding pleasure, and He will surely arise on your behalf. Reminder: Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalms 37:4 KJV |
