The temptations of the flesh and devils requires answers which can either be No or Yes. Temptations always comes in every daily life and it covers from little things to greater things because the flesh wants to try all things and devils also do not want to leave any stone unturned. This implies nothing is too small to involve God. Great activity is a culmination of little , insignificant activities. No records on great Bible characters going to toilet because it will make the Bible too bulky but if they were not able to toilet they would not had been able to do great things. Reason we should give thanks for every little activity we do.
The temptations of Jesus started with little daily things in the house of Joseph , which did prepare Him for the greater temptations.
Before there can be manifestation of the glory of God temptations must have taken place and even right in the middle of manifesting glory temptations still comes. As long as we are in the body temptations never ceases because the body has lust of the eyes , flesh and pride. Temptations are serpentine in action. They silently crawl into the heart and bite.
The heart must be freed from lusts to crush all temptations. The only way to free the heart is to allow the fruits of the Spirit to live in it. The fruits are also spirits and kills the spirit of love for the things of the world which is the root of all evil , lusts.

*2 Peter 2:9*
KJV:The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations...

You are not powerless against temptations the fruits of the Spirit is the Lord that will deliver you.
No one , including the devil , is to blame if you fall into temptation. You are to blame.
God is aware and in control of our temptations so He is out of the blame too.

*1 Corinthians 10:13* KJV:There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to overcome every temptation like Jesus did.

We are living the victorious life when we are destroying the roots of temptation.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Dear Father , help me to hold unto You as my strength in all temptations.

*Be heavenly minded*

The natural birth marks the beginning of the flesh life rooted in vanities. A babe craves and cries for food and other vanities things of life. He/she never craves for spiritual food and the eternal rewards. Because the flesh life is rooted in vanities things the flesh life also marks the beginning of sorrows , pains , happiness , fear , anxieties , worries etc which are all temporary as this life will end but death will mark the beginning of a greater continuous torment for a flesh life lived making the death of sinners a gruesome , terrible loss.
The birth of the spiritual life marks the beginning of life rooted in eternal things. A life that craves for spiritual food and eternal rewards. He/she never craves for vanity things over eternal things. Because the spirit life is rooted in eternal things the spirit life also marks the beginning of godly sorrows , joy , boldness , peace etc which are permanent as the spirit life will never end but its only through death can this life be lived in full. Death marks the beginning of everlasting goodness for a spirit life lived thus making the death of saints precious , glorious one.
The spiritual death of flesh life must happen before the body dies and the only way it can happen is by believing in the power of death and resurrection of Jesus. The crucifixion is the death of the flesh life and the resurrection is the birth of the spiritual life reason Paul quipped in
*Romans 6:5*
KJV:For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

It is not only Jesus who died on the cross and resurrected but everyone who will be with Him in eternity.
For me , journey to the cross was a long one. I got there several years (close to 20 years) after taking the first step of getting born again.
It is when we get there we can say 'no longer we that lives but Christ that lives in us'.
People who run after money want to solve physical problems only but people who run after Christ want to solve all problems.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to die to the things of this world.

We are living the victorious life when we are living the spiritual life.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Loving Father who cares for me , help me die to flesh life and rise to the spiritual life.

That the world would come to an end one day either by death or by rapture is a fact , truth that can not be proven to be a lie as evidence of death and degradation of earth's resources is happening all around us. No scientific discovery can stop death and science has gone too far to put an end to its endangering discoveries.
The future after death or after the rapture is what should be our utmost concern.
Is there life after death ?

*Matthew 22:30*
KJV:For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

These are the words of Jesus that ascertains the continuation of life after death.
Will rapture really happen?

*1 Thessalonians 4:17*
KJV:Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

This is the revelation given to Paul about what is popularly called the rapture , after the rapture there will be continuation of life and that life will never end reason it should be the focus for all.
Only children will be informed about an upcoming test or exam and will not prepare. An adult knows the consequences of failing test or exam.
A spiritual adult had known the consequences of disobedience so he/she knows what the consequences of missing heaven would be like.
To be committed to running the vanities race above eternal race is preparing to miss heaven. It was said of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob if they had considered what they left behind they would have turned back to their country of origin but they looked not unto a vanity country built by hands but unto eternal country built by God. So did every man of faith who went through fire , lions den , persecuted looked unto the country whose architect is God.
Let us also not look at things to be acquired here but to be acquired in eternity.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to be prepared in these last days.

We are living the victorious life when we are not running the vanities race.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Dear Father who is always committed to my eternal race please fill me with more life so I can be committed too.

Heaven is a place of records where all we do here on earth is recorded be it good or evil works. Good works will receive rewards and evil works will receive punishments.
If good work such as giving a cup of water , clothing the naked , feeding the hungry ... will receive rewards so also not doing all these will be regarded as evil works. Negligence of good works is same as doing evil works.
We do not know the good works to do unless the Spirit tells us and we do not know the evil works we should not do unless the Spirit tells us.
A work may appear good but doing it may be against God's will and will be recorded as evil work reason we need to always follow the leading of the Spirit.
As many as follow the leading of the Spirit will have great number of good works recorded in heaven and will never do any evil work.
A dead conscience loves the world , hence can never be led by the Spirit.
A lukewarm conscience loves the world less hence will not always be able to do good works as led by the Spirit.
A life conscience does not love the world hence will be willing to do good works as led by the Spirit.
How much we love the world will be the determinant of the number of evil works we do and recorded.
We can always do good works as led by the Spirit even in difficult times if we do not love the world.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to always do good works , as led by the Spirit , no matter the challenge(s).

We are living the victorious life when our conscience is alive.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
My Father who art in heaven please help me to always follow the leading of Your Spirit.

Waiting has been wrongly considered by many as a waste of time because little to no vanities progress is achieved during waiting. Waiting is also misconstrued as stagnation. People do not believe you are waiting upon the Lord because they are not seeing vanities progress.
All of these misunderstandings about waiting arises from minds rooted in the vanities of the world. The understanding of the ways of God can not be understood by vanities rooted minds. The mind of God is rooted in eternal things , after changing and saving the souls of men but the minds of men of the world is rooted , after achieving all the vanities of life.
Waiting is a work of faith , of transformation from strength to strength as depicted by

*Isaiah 40:30*
KJV:But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run , and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Jesus did say a parable to encourage waiters that they will receive same reward as those who had started ahead of them to imply they are also working while they are waiting to be hired.

*Matthew 20:9-10*
KJV:And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10
KJV:But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

The work done while waiting is mainly internal because it is designed for transformation and conformation to the likeness of Jesus.
It is a season of separation , preparation , sanctification and consecration for the Master's use.
It is also a period of personal training in the spiritual class.
Waiting is the terminology of Man used to describe the period of expecting a progressive change in vanities life while waiting is the terminology of God used to describe the period of conformation to His children.
While waiting we achieve internal growth / blessings.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to wait and not lose hope.

I am living the victorious life when I am undergoing conformation to the likeness of Jesus.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Be heavenly minded*

Dear Father please give me the grace I need to wait on You.

Prayer is an act of communication which most have made it an act of getting their vanities greed or desires granted and not seeking to know the will of God for their life reason many have fallen prey to wolves prophets . God's intention for establishing prayer as a means of communication is not for this purpose because our greater needs is spiritual conformity to the Son and are not meeting the needs of the flesh.
The Lord's prayer depicts this as He was requested to teach us how to pray.

*Luke 11:1-4*

KJV:And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2
KJV:And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3
KJV:Give us day by day our daily bread.
4
KJV:And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

If He has taken the time , as we know He never made waste of time , to teach us how to pray then it will be wise for us not only to follow that pattern but to live by it as our purpose of living will show in our prayers.
If Jesus was asking for gold , He would have had all the golds in the world and if He was asking for houses , He would have had many mansions but He did not live and prayed for all these cos He knew they will become worthless when He is crucified but He requested for our souls to be saved which He knows its the greater thing to live and pray for.
In His prayer , the first thing He prayed for is God's will to be done not for His earthly blessings.
The second thing He prayed for is daily bread. Jesus will never pray for small perishing things but for big everlasting things. When Satan tempted Him with perishing daily bread He chose the eternal daily bread , tempted with perishing worldly fame He chose the eternal fame , tempted with riches of the world He chose the eternal riches.
Seeking first the kingdom of God is praying to conform to the kingdom lifestyle first above all things.

If your prayer is not following the pattern Jesus laid down then your purpose of living is not aligned to God's purpose for you.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to be living in the full purpose of God for our lives.

We are living the victorious life when we are praying according to the Jesus pattern of prayer.

I accept Jesus or The Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

Wisdom is defined as the right application of knowledge and foolishness is defined as the non application of knowledge. So knowledge is the factor of being wise or foolish. A wise man/woman to God is one who is led by the Spirit or the Word not the man/woman who is rich in vanities possession like the rich fool or Gentile kings. In the world today the rich are considered as been wise for them to be bless.
And a foolish man/woman is one who is led by the spirits of the world which are the lust of the flesh , eyes and pride of life , no matter how much vanities such a person possesses.
Knowledge of the Divine Trinity , knowledge of who we are in Christ , knowledge of sin and knowledge of satan are the bases of wisdom. With all these knowledge we will be able to act wisely all the time and without these knowledge we will act foolishly.
The Bible is the major book we can find all these knowledge reason we need to read it prayerfully , meditate prayerfully and prayerfully act on it.
We gain all these knowledge by practically following the leading of Holy Spirit in our daily activities and when we have learned we will be wise in living.
We can not walk with God if we are not living by wisdom.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for everyone of God's children to gain all these knowledge.

We are living the victorious life when we are living wisely.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

Faithfulness is a virtue that shows absolute commitment to a course.
In this world there are so many challenges that will come our way which are intended to test and prove our faithfulness , absolute commitment to God as God delights in seeing our faithfulness in action. This is what brought the story of Job to the world. His faithfulness was tested by God cos He delights in seeing the absolute commitment of Job to Him.
God is honoured when we prove our faithfulness in difficult times and our flesh , Sin and Satan are dishonoured. Proving our faithfulness in difficult times also proves , we no longer love worldliness , our deadness to the worldliness.
Whosoever that will follow God to the end must be absolutely committed to His course of living in love , joy , peace ,etc in difficult times as well.
God is faithful , absolutely committed to taking good care of us so we can be assured to remain faithful to His course , destiny for our lives.

Are you faithful , absolutely committed to life of love , joy , peace etc ?

If Job was rewarded not only in this world so we will be.
We can not be committed to both the course of God and the course of worldliness.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for us to remain faithful.

We are living the victorious life when we committed to living the life of love , joy , peace etc also in difficult times.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*EASTER EDITION*
Yesterday was another palm Sunday , a reminder of the spiritual kingship of Jesus demonstrated physically.
Jesus is not the first commoner or ordinary native that rode on a donkey into Jerusalem but because He had gained fame , touched the lives of people more than any king in Israel , the people wanted Him to be their king. They wanted Him as king so as to confine Him to a palace so they could locate Him anytime they want His help. They wanted a king they can lay their vanities burden on , a king that will always feed them with bread and fish , a king that will wake up all their loved ones from the dead , a king that will heal all their diseases and carry vanities burden for them. The disciples were also scheming for 'fat' positions when Jesus becomes king that the mother of two of them came personally to endorse her children to the indignation of others. Jesus knew their hearts only loved themselves so He can not be their desired king.
Everyone who want Jesus to be their desired king can not accept Him as the Lord over every aspect of their lives. Its not about our vanities desires that makes us accept Jesus as king but its about Jesus' desires that makes us accept Him as king and Lord and the desire of Jesus is to make us children of God.
Those who want to be children of God will accept Jesus as their Lord.

Easter is a season of thanksgiving for having Jesus as king and Lord.

*Prayer point*
Father thank You for sending Jesus to come and rule over my life as king and Lord.

After the fall in Eden sin begun to live in and through Man and since then man/woman has been evil in thoughts and actions. Committing murder , suicide , stealing , fraud , immoralities and all manner of evil as been manifesting through man/woman and in these last days it has been on the high side cos adolescents are not exempted.
The spreading of Churches has also been on the high side in some parts of the world but the hard core truth of the Gospel is not spreading. The New holy life that manifest the presence of God everywhere Man is found outside the Church building is not spreading . It is the Old sinful life that is majorly manifesting everywhere Man is found. Despite the fact that Jesus was crucified and there is enormous power in the crucifixion to sin , the love of vanities blessings has kept the crucifixion power hidden because God manifest His presence and His will for us in blessings. It is the folly of Man to love the blessings more than The Blesser but it is the righteousness and purpose of The Blesser to bless.
The Father and Sin can not live through Man at same time. The ground Father had claimed in us must not be taken over again by Sin but it should rather spread. If the Father is claiming more ground in you then your life is growing. If the Father is not claiming new grounds in you , then your life is stagnant.
The crucifixion of Jesus enables God to claim new grounds in us. A Man knows the areas where God is living through him/her and knows the areas Sin lives through him/her.

Power is readily available to live holy , it is Man that wants to continue living in sin that rejects the power.

Easter season is the season of acknowledging and giving thanks to the power in the Crucifixion.

*Prayer points*
Father thank You for giving us the second and the last chance to be living through us.
Father we thank You for the power in the Crucifixion that cleanses from sin and enables us live a New holy life.

We are in the Lenten season , the season of the great work of Redemption. Man was redeemed from the curse of sin and most importantly the life of sin but its only those who believe that will actually redeemed.
The concept of Redemption can be said to have started with Abraham when Isaac was Redeemed by the surprise provision of a ram before God introduced it to the Israelites in

*Exodus 13:13*
KJV:And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

For the ass or firstborn to continue to live , a lamb must take their place in death. The lamb is considered innocent by God so its fit to redeem others. The lamb is an animal that can not sin and can not understand the nature of sin and did not willingly surrender itself , for this reason it can not pay the full weight for the sins. It can only cause Man to be remorseful that because of his sins was the life of this innocent animal taken. And as the cleansing of Man's sins by the lamb's sacrifice is completed Man should be joyous because he is no longer held captive by his guilty conscience because he is set free.
Easter is a joyous reminder of how Man is cleansed from sin. Those who have not received their own cleansing from sin will not have this joyous reminder in them.
Do you have the joy you can be set free from the guilty conscience of sin in you?

There is no more condemnation for those who have accepted the sacrifice of the Lamb of God for their sin and return no more to their sin. [paraphrased]- *Romans 8:1*

Hallelujah ! We are no longer condemned not to have both spiritual and physical blessings.
The setting free from sin is a spiritual blessing that all Man can have and which is far greater than all physical blessings. So if anyone is not always thankful and praiseful , its because such a person does not know and value the spiritual blessing of being set free from sin and such person is in deception to value vanities blessings more.
Easter season is the season of celebration for those who have received the new life we have been given and a season of being remorseful for those who are yet to receive the new life.

*Song* : Lord I lift Your name on high (2ce)
Lord I love to sing Your praises (2ce)
Am so glad You reign in my life (2ce)
Am so glad You came to save me (2ce)
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross , my debt You paid
From the cross to the grave from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high.

*Prayer points*
Father I thank You for sending Your only Son to come and die for the sins I committed.
Thank You , the Lamb of God , for leaving Your heavenly glory to come and save me.
Thank You , the Lamb of God for surrendering Yourself for course of saving my life.

AMP:Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. *Hebrews 11:1*

From the text above faith is to attain our hope and if our hope is Christ then we can never stop living in faith till we leave this world and the reason it is written the just shall live by faith [ *Habakkuk 2:4* ]

KJV:To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: *Colossians 1:27*

If the things of this world are our glories then our faith will always be "of little faith " since the things of this world are little in comparison to the eternal things we will attain through being in the likeness of Christ.
If by faith we will attain to the likeness of Christ then we can never stop living by faith cos attaining to the fullness of Christ is a lifetime activity.
If a faith is shaking (shaky faith) it is shaking because it is doubting about achieving the things of this world. Faith that is after attaining the likeness of Christ does not shake because that is what faith is meant or programmed for.

KJV:A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. *James 1:8*

Faith has to the with the Word (knowledge of truth). If the truth on a matter is not known , there can not be faith. Faith comes when truth is revealed. With faith comes certainty about our actions. If we are certain that our actions is based on truth and will attain or show the likeness of Christ then we will never doubt reason Ignorance is the father of doubt.
The wisdom of the world is about getting vanities and since the world is unstable , faith that is resting on the wisdom of the world will shake. The Word {Truth} changeth not reason faith resting on the wisdom of God will never shake.

KJV:That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. *1* *Corinthians 2:5*

The power of God is the knowledge of Truth since knowledge is power.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for my faith to be stable in all situations.

I am living the victorious life when I am attaining and showing the likeness of Christ.

The Philistine giant and warrior , Goliath was physically blessed with a great stature , physic that helped him rose to become a great warrior. Samson was blessed with a divine physical power so great he did exploits a single man could not do.
Saul was physically elevated to the position of a king.
Abraham was physically blessed and he transferred them to Isaac and then to Esau making the blessing to be lost in transit. Esau inherited physical blessings but Jacob inherited the spiritual blessings which is the real blessings Israelites inherited as long as the earth continues. If it was the physical blessings of Abraham Israelites inherited it would not go round. But the spiritual blessings they inherited was more than enough for them and other nations who believed in their blessings and want to partake in it.

*Genesis 22:18*
KJV:And in thy Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice.

The land of Israelites is not amongst the top 10 lands that has the highest number of mineral resources in the world neither is Israel amongst the 10 richest. The land of Israelites is the land where the precious blood of the Saviour of the world was shed to give eternal blessings to every living soul in the world which is the 'milk and honey' flowing to other lands.

Song
Abraham blessings are mine (2×)....

The blessings of Abraham that are ours , that all man/woman should possess is the spiritual blessing of salvation. God is mandated to bless everyone with this blessing no matter the tribe or country.
Physical blessings may be by the choice of God but not so with salvation because God wants everyone to be blessed forever and ever.
Every physical blessings can be lost , become obsolete , and will definitely be left behind.
Jesus had already advised us to go for eternal blessings and the physical blessings will come when needed and will not fail. {Matthew 6:19-20 ,33}
One good thing about gathering eternal blessings is this: it can be done in any given conditions of life.
For someone to rejoice and be able to praise God in times of losses , difficult times is gathering eternal blessings.

*Habakkuk 3:17-18*
KJV:Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18
KJV:Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

Those who know that salvation is the tangible blessing we have here on earth will do everything to keep it.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to inherit eternal blessings.

I am living the victorious life when I am gathering my eternal blessings where no thief can steal it or insects can destroy.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

Our believe is what drives our actions and way of life in general. Anytime a believer's actions does not corresponds to what he/she claims to belief , such believer is living a pretentious life and a liar. Peter claimed he believed in Jesus as to stick with Him always but when tough time came he was not able to act as he claimed he believed. Peter was lying to Jesus , himself and other disciples without his knowledge. So do believers act when they want self glory or are desperately in want. They deny Jesus or the Word they claimed to believe.
If our believe is stagnant , not growing then when we are tested or tempted in the future , we can not stand because our believe is smaller than the test or temptation. Life is a school where we are tested and tempted severally before we go higher in class. And when we go higher in the school of life we will definitely go higher in eternal rewards and we may go higher in vanities life also.
And if our believe does not grow we become preys of sin , struggles , sufferings because the actions we ought to have taken to overcome all these was not done. What we believe is what will manifest. If we believe in love , joy , peace , and all the other fruits of Holy Spirit , they will manifest in our actions , behaviors and become our character.

*John 1:12*
KJV:But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

Believe brings power to act as a son/ daughter of God. If Enoch did not believe in God he would not have power to walk with Him. "Birds of same feather flock together". If Noah believed not he would not have power to build the ark. If Abraham believed not he would not have power to sacrifice Issac. If Daniel and the 3 Hebrew men believed not they would not have power to enter fire and den of hungry lions.
If we believed not we will not have power to enter heaven.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to believe more.

I am living the victorious life when I am acting according to my believes.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

Hope is to be certain about the good that lies in the future especially when the present is not pleasing , is rough and tough in physical (vanities) terms. Hope assures that the unpleasant physical situation will not remain forever and that there is a forever pleasant eternal life ahead.
The Bible recorded how Abraham was not looking at his present unpleasant physical situation and focused on looking at his eternal pleasant future.

*Hebrews 11 :10*
KJV:For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
**15**KJV:And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

The opportunity in the text above means excuse. Abraham could had pointed out many excuses unpleasant in his new physical environment to return to his comfort zone thereby missing his eternal pleasant future.
How often have we made excuses to avoid unpleasant physical situation and disobeyed Father to enjoy physical situation thinking we are wiser than Father?
There are rewards for every single unpleasant physical situation we go through on earth both on earth and in heaven. The generation of Abraham occupies the land flowing with milk and honey today and he also inherited his eternal pleasant environment because he hoped more in eternal things than vanities things as it is said of him in Romans 4:18 that against hope he still hoped.
A strong hope is one which places eternal rewards first , of greater value than vanities rewards. A weak hope places both eternal and vanities on same level and hopelessness places vanities rewards above eternal rewards.
Check the strength of your hope to know which reward is greater to you.
Messages , preaching on hope in this world are the so called 'hot' sermons the world love to listen to and reason the body of Christ is weak.

For with the Father all things are possible so it is possible for us to be hopeful in unpleasant physical situations.

I am living the victorious life when I am focused on eternal rewards.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
My Father I want my hope to grow stronger as this is also Your desire for me through Jesus. Thank You for making this possible for me in Jesus name.

Live the spiritually blessed week.

How do we walk by faith when we love the things of the world because walking by faith is not intended to gain perishable things but to work out the life of Jesus in us through the equipping of these perishable things. Father is only able to walk out life in us with the required volume of vanities in our possession. He can either give more vanities or take away to work life in us.

*Galatians 3:14*
KJV:That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Abraham received life by faith when he left his vanity homeland and while in waiting for the the vanity life of being in fatherhood. He received more life by faith when Isaac manifested. He received more life again by faith when he sacrificed Isaac. So will we increase in life by faith through the vanities we acquire or loose.
Jesus did not say those who walk by faith are building vanity house but are building a spiritual house (life) on the rock which no storm of this world can bring down.

*Matthew 7:24-27*
(Paraphrased) He that do the sayings of Jesus is a wise man/ woman who builds his/her house on the rock and stood against the storms of life and he/she that do not do the sayings of Jesus is a foolish man/ woman that builds his/ her house on the sand and could not stand the storms of life.

Those who use faith to only gain perishable things and are not increasing in life as they ought to , are building their house on the sand.
The ministers of the Word who teaches others more about gaining vanities by faith will become least in heaven.

*Matthew 5:19*
KJV:Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

And Paul also quipped that someone can build with wood , shafts on the Rock which will be consumed by fire when tested. When the work is consumed the reward is lost and the doer of the work will receive less reward making him/her least in heaven.
*Read 1 Corinthians* *3:12-14*
If we should only walk by faith and not by sight it means it is not what we see with physical eyes but what we can not see through physical eyes we seek to gain.
*Read 2 Corinthians 5:7*

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for you to be gaining life daily by faith through physical activities in your vanities achievements.

I am living the victorious life because I am walking by faith.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
My Father , its Your will I gain more and more life through walking by faith help me with more grace in Jesus name.

*Luke 5:36*
KJV:And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
*37*
KJV:And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

In the texts above Jesus is using the analogy of old - new cloth and old wine skin - new wine to explain what we will experience after we are born again and growing in the new life we had received and still want to be growing in the old life. Because we are used to the old nature of vanities life we will want to use Holy Spirit to lead us in the desires of the old nature. We will want to use faith to work out the desires of the old nature. And because Holy Spirit and faith does not work in the old nature , there will be confusion and if care is not taken there will be tearing away , bursting out that leads to backsliding.
The new nature gradually comes into us becoming our major nature , displacing the old nature. But if the new nature is still coerced to pursing after vanities things like the old nature does , there will be confusion , frustration and eventually , damage is incurred (pains , agonies, sorrows)
For this reason the old nature has to be put to death and this is only what the power in the death of Jesus on the cross has already achieved when we believe in it and we can not believe in it if it has not been revealed into our spirits. We can read the scriptures as many times as possible but if it has not been revealed into our spirits we can not receive the blessings in it.
The book of the New Testament teaches how to walk in the new nature , differentiates between the life of old nature from the new nature.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to do away with the old nature.

I am living the victorious life when I am living in the new nature.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Mighty God Thou hast delivered me from the old nature , help me continue in the new nature in Jesus name.

Set targets for your spiritual growth for the year 2025.

Its another season of remembering the coming into fulfillment the prophecy of the coming of the Savior into the world to save mankind from their sins. The reason for the celebration is the promised salvation and new order of government as He did not die on the cross nor begun to rule as a baby as but the journey began as a baby as its written in the book of *Isaiah 9:6*
KJV:For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Those who are truly experiencing salvation from sin and the government of Jesus will join in the celebration of the Christmas season no matter the origin of the Christmas and the arbitrarily date fixed for it.
If mankind knows the value , appreciates and enjoying salvation and new order of government of Jesus , we would celebrate to honor the sacrifice of our Saviour. It is out of love to celebrate in remembrance the coming of the One who saved us from hell.
The celebration is not mandated to physical enjoyment but to the joy of salvation. Physical enjoyment is just to express the joy inside. Any sorrow born out of lack of physical 'merryment' is evidence of lack of joy of salvation.
The celebration of Christmas is a form of evangelism and should be used as an avenue to evangelise.
The gifts we can give the Celebrant of this season is more of ourselves and new souls.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to always celebrate Christmas.

I am living the victorious life when I am always expressing the joy of salvation.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Dear Father thank You for sending my Saviour to the world and please fill me with more of Jesus' life according to Your will for me.

Our Father wants us to always walk with Him starting from the thoughts of our minds to our actions. The Father is righteous always so he/she who wants to walk with Him must also be righteous always. To walk with the Father it requires faith and faith is the knowledge of the Father in handling all things (seen and unseen) pertaining to life reason *Romans 10 :17* says faith comes into us by hearing the knowledge of God not the knowledge of flesh , sin or evil spirits of lusts and pride of life.(paraphrased). The knowledge of Father about a particular thing is the truth about that thing.
We walk by faith (knowledge of the Word) not by sight - *2 Corinthians 5:7*
Faith enables us to walk in the righteousness of the Father and not in the unrighteousness of worldliness. Faith is to make us focus and possess eternal things and not to focus and possess worldliness. Faith makes us to continue or persists in love , joy , peace etc in plenty and harsh vanities times and not to become hateful , spiteful , sorrow , worries etc in plenty and harsh vanities times.
Those who are living in love , joy , peace etc are the ones really enjoying in this world. But those who are wavering in love , joy , peace etc are not really enjoying this world despite all their vanities possessions. The righteous may possess vanities but not worldliness.
Without faith it is impossible to walk with God (paraphrased)- *Hebrews 11:6*

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to walk with God always.

I am living the victorious life when I am living righteously.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*1 Peter 3:14*
KJV:But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Walking righteously in a wicked and an unrighteous world will bring sufferings. There will be several oppositions to progress in the spiritual and physical realm. Any physical progress not causing spiritual progress is a waste. But any suffering for righteousness sake causing spiritual progress is a blessing.
We should not be ashamed to be doing tasks God planned for us to be doing that some may consider unworthy for us. We should not be ashamed to work for the Gospel , for others to see that the kingdom of God is not of the things of this world but of righteousness , peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

*Romans 14:17*
KJV:For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

We need to remain righteous , joyful and peaceful in unpleasant 'vanities' times so others can know the kingdom of God is real. If we fail to prove the kingdom of God is real we will not be able to lead and win others. The mocking and threats of those who are worldly should not cause us to be ashamed or fear to the point of compromising the righteousness of Jesus in us. If Jesus calls a man/woman blessed he/she is blessed beyond his/her thinking.

*Matthew 5:11*
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to remain righteous in unpleasant 'vanities' times.

I am living the victorious life when I am living righteously.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

The spirit of a newly born again person must grow to become a matured born again person. This spiritual progress is unstoppable by lack of desired things of this world and by forces of darkness.
At every spiritual age in life , all the things of this world needed for spiritual progress will be available. What the spirit actually needs to progress is the Word of God not the things of this world. The addition or subtraction of the things of this world will open new experience for spiritual progress. Let's look into the life of Job. Before Father allowed Satan touched the wealth of Job he was also making progress spiritual reason there was protection around his wealth. After satan touched his wealth , Job still continued to make spiritual progress , it was not aborted by all his loses, reason he did not curse but exalted his heavenly Father. And when his wealth was restored he still continued to make spiritual progress. The argument between God and Satan is about Job making spiritual progress in his lack or loss of the things of this world. What Satan desired to stop in Job's life was his spiritual progress and that is where Job stood and Satan lost. Evil forces can not stop our spiritual progress.
Satan has not changed since then and can never change. His desire and mode of operation remain the same. The reason he is attacking everyone is same with Job's. Our spiritual progress sets us free from his captivity. A man/woman may be wealthy but as long as he/she is not making spiritual progress , he/she is no treat to Satan.
The only one who can stop my spiritual progress is no other person but myself , if I allow the love of the things of this world to stretch forth my hand to sin.
Even God can not stop our spiritual progress because it is His desire for everyone to be like Him.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be making spiritual progress in all conditions of life.

I am living the victorious life when I am making spiritual progress.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*

A sinner does not have a Father - child relationship with God The Father because he/she has not become a son/daughter , he/she has not been convinced by Holy Spirit that he/she is a son/daughter. It is only after The Holy Spirit convinces us before we can begin to have a Father - child relationship. Then we can call God our Father from the heart based on the closer relationship we now have with Him. When we were sinners our relationship was formal but when we are been cleansed from sins the relationship becomes informal.
This is the relationship Jesus had with God from childhood to prove He is holy from birth as He called God His Father in

*Luke 2 :49*
KJV:And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business.

And throughout His stay on earth He called God His Father , even on the cross in His pains , because throughout His stay on earth He had a Father - son relationship. Calling God my Father does not imply I have a Father - child relationship but having the Father - child relationship is what implies I can call God my Father.
The Father - child relationship typifies genuineness love and it is this genuine love that keeps the relationship strong even in challenging times. A child knows the Father can do him/her no 'evil harm' to break His child's spirit but will do a 'good harm' to break and remould the flesh.
The sufferings of Jesus is an example for us to learn that the Father does not break His child's spirit but the child's flesh.

*Hebrews 5:8*
KJV:Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;

And we are to learn from His suffering by sharing in it.

*Colossians 1:24*
KJV:Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which is the church:

*1 Peter 4:13*
KJV:But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for me to have the Father - child relationship.

I am living the victorious life when I am calling God Father from my heart.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*
Dear Father I am longing to know You more so I have a child - Father relationship with You , help to get there in Jesus name. Amen.

*John 15:2*
2
KJV:Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Fruits are the works we do which bears the evidence to the life dwelling in us. Fruits are the works of the life in us. Good fruits (works) comes from God's kind of life and evil fruits (works) comes from Satan's kind of life.

*Matthew 7:20*
KJV:Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Jesus is teaching us how to examine the kind of life dwelling in us and others through fruits (works) that are borne (done). Yet , man/woman can pretend to be good by doing good works with evil motive. Also some works appears evil yet they are done from good motive. This is the reason God says do not judge others. Each person is the one who can best judge his / her fruits (works) through motives and by doing this we can make changes , get rid of all satanic kind of life and replace with God kind of life. We must be spiritually conscious of all our deeds so we can be able to work out the salvation of Jesus in us.

*Matthew 3:8*
AMP:Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart];

Its is clear that when we have the God kind of life we will stop bearing bad fruits , stop doing any evil work.
Bearing the fruits of the Spirit is evidence we have the Spirit in us and that is when the confirmation of being a son / daughter of God comes into our consciousness by the Holy Spirit thereby fulfilling what is written in

*Romans 8 :16*
KJV:The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

In any aspect of our lives we are still producing bad fruits means we are yet to examine ourselves. Self examination starts from thoughts since every works starts from thoughts and we can only change evil thoughts to good thoughts when we change from satanic kind of life to God kind of life and we can not change this life until we stop loving the world and the things in it and replace it with loving heaven and the eternal rewards in them. This is how it works.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to change the satanic kind of life in me to the God kind of life.

I am living the victorious life when I am producing good fruits only.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Prayer point for the week*

The earth is created for Man to live out all the righteous way of God reason he/she was created in the likeness of God.

*Genesis 1:26*
KJV:And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

All things on earth was created good which implies there is no reason Man should become unrighteous. When sin entered Man he/she became evil and God knew Man will begin to destroy things in Eden and He sent them out. Ever since Man has been on destructive mission. This is definitely not the plan of the Father and He is not given up on what He spent His time , wisdom and energy creating for His own pleasure and not otherwise so He came powerfully to redeem Man has the only option to restore., protect and maintain His works.
The earth still belonged to sons and daughter's of the Father. The world of sin belongs to sons and daughter's of Satan but the world of righteousness belongs to sons and daughter's of God so whatever we need at each particular stage in life to seek the kingdom of God is available. All our earthly provisions are for the purpose of seeking the kingdom. In another thought , seeking the kingdom of God guarantees our provisions.

*Psalms 24:1*
:The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Since the earth belongs to the Father then it belongs to His offsprings and His offspring's are the ones living in His righteousness.
The earth always belongs to the Father whether possessions are in a righteous Man's or unrighteous Man's hands.
His offsprings do not envy or get intimidated by the prosperity of the sinners / unsaved because it will empower them the more in their lustfulness and bring greater condemnation upon them.
The prosperity of the righteous should make them do greater exploits.

With the Father all things are possible so it is possible for His children to possess everything they need to make it to the kingdom.

What I believe in , really matters because its what will direct how I live my life , the things I would be doing to God , myself and others.
If I believe in the things of this world as the things I must have to enjoy , to be satisfied in the world then I will be doing things that will not please the Father but myself. I will put my joy , pleasures , satisfactions , comforts first. Those living to please themselves will also be hurting themselves , all in the name of having pleasures. For example sexual immortality , substance and drugs abuse and eating too much is injurious to health and has cut lives short , and its done in the name of having pleasure.

*1 Timothy 6:10*
KJV:For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and *pierced themselves through with many sorrows.*

The Bible text above reveals anyone who loves money will hurt themselves.
The things of eternity , how is my life in eternity going to be will be secondary thoughts which implies its less valuable to me if I believe in having the things of this world for my pleasures. If I am living to please myself then I will have challenges growing in eternal life , growing in loving the Father , myself and others.
Money has power to do things reason Man put faith in it to get them what they desire whenever they need them and do not have to depend on anyone to get it or wait on God. Believe in the power of money is what makes Man work-hard , work-smart , be an employer or an employee , run around to get it , invest it , steal it , embezzle , cheat etc just to have it in abundance.
The things I need to do to make eternal life abundant in me are not same as the things I need to do to make money abundant.
Believing vanities achievements are greater , more valuable than eternal achievements will cripple my eternal growth but my believe in eternity will enhance my spiritual growth.
Believing in the things of this world or in power of money has made some to turn away from their calling like Gehazi , the rich young ruler and Demas. Be watchful!

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me not to believe in the power of money more than in the power of God.

Worship is when we give our deepest affection and highest praise to something. True and deep worship of God is when we love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's when we prize God above everything else and put Him first in our hearts.
The concept of worship is based on knowing the personality and what the one worshipped is capable of doing. No one can genuinely worship the one he/she does not know else it will be a fake worship. This is exactly what Jesus told the Samaritan woman

*John 4:22*
KJV:Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Deep worship is based on personal revelation of the Father and shallow worship is based on others personal revelation of the Father , as we all must worship Him. Shallow worshippers have shallow knowledge of the Father , shallow love , shallow prize value on the Father. Shallow waters dry up before another rainy season comes so is shallow worship , It gets dry when trials last longer. The faith , love , enthusiasm etc in the Father diminishes.
Jesus told the Samaritan woman if He gives her the living water she will never run dry. Deep worship comes from the main source and shallow worship comes from others as the source.

*John 4:10*
KJV:Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
*14* KJV:But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Each one of us must have a personal revelation of Jesus. If Jesus could desire to give the Samaritan woman , who is currently in a sinful relationship with a man , so does He desire to give each one of us a personal revelation.
Personal revelation never leaves any one the same. It changes us into a new creature.
Until we have a personal revelation on issues we do not get breakthroughs or miracles.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be having personal revelation frequently.

I am living the victorious life when my worship is deep.

Dear Holy Spirit please give me more revelation of Jesus and The Father in Jesus name.

I can always do works that pleases The Father if I know Him personally. Its only a stranger I can not please since I do not know him/her personally. So works are evidence of whether The Father is still a stranger(in some areas) to me or not. If I know someone personally I must know and do what he/she likes or not same with The Father. The Word reveals what He likes and don't like.
Faith comes by hearing the Word and faith without works is dead so I know The Father by hearing His Word and work to please Him by doing the Word.
I can not know The Father personally without knowing my sinful nature and how Satan influences it. The two goes simultaneously to have a balanced knowledge. Its paramount for me to know the strength of my enemies ( my sinful nature and Satan) so I can break it.

*2 Corinthians 2:11*
KJV:Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Satan can only use those who have not reckoned themselves dead to sins , who still desire to work after the flesh. As a servant is afraid of the master so will they have fears of Satan in them.

*Romans 6:11*
KJV:Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin...

*Romans 8:5*
KJV:For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;....

But those who have crucified their flesh will defeat Satan in all his devices , deceptions and will be feared by Satan because they know personally the things to do to overpower him. Knowing what to do is knowledge reason knowledge is power. With knowledge I can walk in the power of God always.
My love for the world will not make me to crucify my flesh.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to know God.

I am living the victorious life when I am always doing the Word in my activities.

Salvation is the most important thing in life that money can not buy. Whoever possess it should consider himself/herself as the wealthiest in the world. Since believers are not of the world of vanities (John 15:19), are not in conformity with the materialism of riches as true blessings (Romans 12:2) , are not in love with the world (1 John 2:15) then it means that believers wealth are not vanities. It is those of the world of vanities that measures amount of wealth by vanities. Believers measures amount of their wealth by good works and eternal rewards reason Jesus tells me to store my treasures where it can neither be destroyed nor stolen , which is heaven. Every good works I do will be turned into everlasting treasures , wealth.

*Matthew 4:8-10*
KJV:Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9
KJV:And saith unto Him, All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10
KJV:Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.

All who measures their wealth, glory by the vanities of the world puts their trust and joy in them hence will be unknowingly worshiping Satan.

Nebuchadnezzar because of his joy in his vanities glory allotted his achievements to his might denoting pride. So are those who trust and joy in their vanities glory.

*Daniel 4:30*
KJV:The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

All the vanities glory of Solomon was rubbished by Jesus so will everyone whose glory is in vanities.

*Matthew 6:29*
KJV:And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

As a growing child of God it is essential I passed through challenges that will make living a good vanities life difficult or uncomfortable for me. These challenges are divinely orchestrated by God to work out salvation (purification , sanctification ) from the sin nature rooted in love of vanities life. Paul quipped " Work out your salvation in everything you are going through with trembling and fear of losing your salvation cos once its lost it is difficult to find or may never be found(paraphrased). I may have to pass through the valley of shadow of death where things are not working as my selfish soul desires. I may have to pass through waters where I am almost overwhelmed in my selfish pursuit of desired vanities achievements and may have to pass through fire where my selfish vanities desires will be consumed.
Every divinely orchestrated challenge is allowed so as to put an end to living for myself( selfish life) to make way for living for God (selfless life). Divinely orchestrated challenges are not meant to destroy any man / woman but to build a godly man/woman.

*2 Timothy 3: 12 ,17*
KJV:Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

KJV:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

No man/woman of God can be perfect without passing through divinely orchestrated challenges which trains the soul how to confronts sinful pleasures , handle satanic temptations , surrender to God's will.
I can not do the good works I am ordained to do if I have not passed through the school of divinely orchestrated challenges like all men of faith from Noah , Abraham , to Jesus and the apostles. All the good works done by any man/woman without passing through the school of divinely orchestrated challenges will be consumed by the fire when tested because I have not been transformed.
For none of my works not to be consumed my salvation must be complete , thorough in every aspect of living. There must not be any dark spot I am aware of in my life.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to go through divinely orchestrated challenges without turning back.

I am living the victorious life when I am passing through divinely orchestrated challenges with joy and peace.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Weekly Prayer Point*
My Father help me to surrender my life for divine transformation.

Live the spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*
God did not made every other creations His treasures but only Man He made His treasure because he/she is a reformer like God otherwise he/she would not be wonderfully and fearfully made.

*Psalms 139:14*
KJV:I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

As a reformer Man is able to reform raw minerals into something more useful. God told Man to subdue the earth which means to reform things to his/her taste or uses. As example God told Man to kill and eat but did not give him/her the tools to use in killing and cooking.
When sin entered Man , the only treasure of God on earth was lost , became abominable , impure. Now the only treasure of God needs to be refined ,purged , sanctified and glorified before he/she could be considered a treasure again.

*Isaiah 48:10*
KJV:Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Noted from the above quoted scripture , God's refines us not with silver ( material blessings) but with affliction , challenges of material needs. If material blessings are the only true evidence of being a child and treasure of God then only children of God will possess them. But the only evidence I am a child and treasure of God is my fruit of the Holy Spirit.
The prove that I am treasured by God is the crucifixion of Jesus cos if I am not then crucifixion will never happen.
I have become a treasure when I bear all the fruit of Holy Spirit. As a treasure it does not mean my vanities / physical life achievements will be perfect or more than unbelievers but it does mean I will enjoy peace no vanities achievements can give. And the joy of being a treasure to God must overshadow the joy of possessing vanities.

*Philippians 4:6-7*
AMP:Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to become a treasure.

I am living the victorious life when I am bearing fruit of Holy Spirit.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Weekly Prayer Point*
Dear Father Your desire it to make me Your treasure , Holy Spirit help me to surrender my flesh for Your destruction.

Live the spiritually blessed week.

The things of this world were never created for Man to make them his/her treasures cos if they were then their will always be strife , contentions amongst Man even without haven't eaten of the forbidden fruit. To make the things of this world my treasures is actually the beginning of evil.

*1 Timothy 6:10*
KJV:For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

It was when Adam and Eve saw the forbidden fruit as a treasure as presented by the serpent they saw the need to have (eat) it.

*Genesis 3:5-6*
KJV:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6
KJV:And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did

The serpent still comes to me today trying to convince me to see the things of this world like money , immoralities , cars , gold , house , etc as treasures. He presented them to Jesus as well as treasures so Jesus can become his slave like Adam and Eve and me. He is never tired of this act until I put away the spirit of love for this world in me.
Those who had been convinced had done unimaginable evils to both themselves and others. Some women have seen even their body curves as a treasure and seeking to enlarged it terminated their lives.
God and the serpent can never change and the consequences of evil can never change too. As Adam and Eve paid the price for their evil so will I pay the price for my evil. If I believe I will pay the price for my evil after enjoying the evil as Adam and Eve also enjoyed the fruit but did not enjoy the consequences of their evil then I will hate to do evil .
*Romans 12: 9 -* ...hate what is evil.
One of the consequences of Adam and Eve's evil is becoming a slave to the serpent by the things of this world.

*Romans 6:16*
KJV:Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

I am a servant of the serpent if I love the things of this world.
I am a servant of God if I do not allow the things of this world to control my feelings , emotions and actions.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me not to love the things of this world.

I am living the victorious life when I am not a servant to the serpent.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Weekly Prayer Point*
Dear Holy Spirit my Father remove the love of the things of this world in me.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*

When I become born again I will be growing into a life that is free from sin. I would been set free from Sin gradually. I will be becoming master over Sin gradually but Sin will still be tempting me , coming in another forms , through other means to make me do evil , to raise up the dead flesh again in me. Sin can come as an angel of light just to deceive me ( 2 Corinthians 11:14) reason I must watch and pray. Sin will never rest and will never give up on trying to become my master again to recapture his lost territories. God revealed that Sin is always at the door of my heart seeking to gain entrance in

*Genesis 4:7*
KJV:If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Any man/ woman Sin is using to gain entrance in me and making to do evil , by acting against the will of God in any way (even if its taking revenge) has become my master. Because of the bad way I am treated by others and I sought to repay them with evil then they have become my 'spiritual' master , Sin has also become my master reason Paul wrote in

*Romans 12:17*
KJV:Recompense to no man evil for evil....

We can easily fall into this temptation of repaying evil for evil between us and anybody be it husband , wife , parents , etc. If God is my Master , He wants me to do good to those who do evil to me. If Jesus is my Master I must follow His example of praying for the good of those who nailed Him to the cross.
Always do good is what God demands from me. It is what comes out of me that matters not what comes out of others. By my fruits I will be known and judged. Doing good comes with costs , pains that is of the world reason I must focus on the eternal rewards God promised for my good deeds.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to always do good.

I am living the victorious life if I do not allow Sin to be my master.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

*Weekly Prayer Point*
Holy Spirit my Master help me to live in the victory over Sin Jesus had paid the price and help me do good deeds cos without You I can not do good always.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.
