*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*
*
*Mark 15:40**
AMP:Now some women were there also, looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,
*41*
AMP:Who, when [Jesus] was in Galilee, were in the habit of accompanying and ministering to Him; and [there were] also many other [women] who had come up with Him to Jerusalem.

The above Bible text narrated how some women we can described as devotees of Jesus followed Him both in good and bad times.
A follower of Jesus must be obeying His word , teachings always and not only when its good or convenient. We generally believe Jesus , our Master can not lead us into the valley of the shadow of death , rough roads , difficult life , because He is good just like the male disciples who had been seeking for juicy positions in the kingdom of Jesus. This made them denied and distance themselves from Him in His difficult time.
We forgot He also went through difficult times and Peter reminded us in

*1 *Peter 2:21* "
KJV:For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:

But its actually following in difficult times we get transformed to walk into higher glory. The sighting of Jesus after resurrection by the women transformed their lives ahead of other disciples. So also those who follow Jesus in difficult times would see(know) more of Jesus. To be knowing more of Jesus is what keeps us going , following. I must be able to sight Jesus more clearly during or after my difficult times.
The love for the things of this world is another Master those not following Jesus must be following.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to follow Jesus to the end.

I am living the victorious life because I am obeying the Word of Jesus.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point:*
To follow Jesus is to enter eternal life after this world is over me , Lord help me not to follow the things of this world.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*
*Isaiah 40: 31*
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.

To wait is to remain in a particular unpleasant situation in the physical life or material world. It is also referred to as stagnation. Waiting on God is actually a spiritual exercise meant to transform the life of 'saved sinners ' to 'saved saints'. This transformation is what is referred to as renewing strength in the Bible passage above. Renewing strength is actually becoming a new creature , a God-like creature since His life is the source of strength so for me to renew my strength I must be having more and more of the life of God in me. If I am having more and more of life of God in me I must be removing the old sinful life in me simultaneously since I can not be filled with both life.
Waiting , been stagnated is not meant for evil or to delay my pilgrimage on earth but to make it meaningful by gaining the strength I need to do all what God wants me to do for Him in this world. Waiting , stagnation , delay is used to cause me to repent , change into Godly nature, which is God number one agenda for me as seen in the writing of Peter.

*2 Peter 3:9*
KJV: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.

To live a holy life in a sin-full world requires strength.
The sinful life which is rooted in love for the world desires physical , materialism progress reason God uses waiting to kill and cast it out. If I am renewing my strength I must not have strength to do the work of jealousy , fear , worldly joy and sorrow , worrying , hate , etc. But rather be having strength to do the work of love , Godly joy and sorrow , peace etc.

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

I am living the victorious life if I am been renewed in the strength of God.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point*
Master Holy Spirit , renew my Godly strength daily so I can do all You want me to do in Jesus name I pray.

Live a spiritually blessed week.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*
To be able to accept Jesus as Lord , I must know Him , what He can do and that which He has already done personally. To know Jesus personally means to have experiences of His power to change me and situations.
Jesus came to earth for one purpose which is to set me free from the dominion of sin , the power of Death and the rulership of Satan and the accomplishment of this is what made Jesus the Lord over all men since all have sinned.
If I have not known this purpose for which Jesus died for me I can not make Him my saviour talk less my Lord.

*Romans 6:14*
KJV:For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
*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?

The sin of love for the world has made jealousy , pride , lusts , anger , shame , backbite etc lord over me because they control me to do evil and it has also made me to be prayerless , praiseless , worshipless , and in all not having a strong relationship with The Father thence not accepting the Lordship of Jesus. For anyone who must come to The Father must have made Jesus his/ her Lord as seen in the text below

*John 14:6*
KJV:Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

If the righteousness of God is not in me , it is the evidence I have not made Jesus my Lord as it is written in
*Romans 3:22*
KJV:Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to accept the Lordship of Jesus.

I am living the victorious life if I am getting freed from lordship of sin.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point:*
Dear Father help me to accept Your Son Jesus has my Lord in every area of life and to be set free from lordship of sin.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*
*2 Corinthians 5:7*
ESV:for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Man lives a life of obedience to God or gods/materialism as he/she must be a servant in service of his/her chosen Master. The flesh obeys gods but the Spirit obeys God reason the works of flesh and Spirit are entirely different. The flesh walks by sight ,by the things it can see , that can make one rich and fulfill desires of flesh. Those who walk by sight will have a limited , short lived purpose for living. Whatever they worked to achieve will end here. The achievements one has disobeyed God , done kinds of evil to gain to please my flesh and men will end. But those who walk by faith will have an unlimited , everlasting lived purpose for living and whatever they worked to achieve will never end. We can deduce obedience gives achievements that never ends. This is the revelation those who obey has that made them continued even in harsh times. For anyone to be able to walk in obedience he/she must have faith in the Word of God. If a soul does not believe the Word is true , real he/she can never obey. I can not be a doer of the Word if I do not believe its the truth. Baby , growing and lukewarm Christians major on material gains and minor on eternal gains reason their obedience is partly and faith is small.
*Hebrews 11:6*
Without faith it is impossible to obey God (paraphrased)
Obedience increases faith.
*James 1:25*
The doer of the Word shall be blessed with more faith(paraphrased)
The flesh may only copy the works of Spirit to deceive others because its motives is not same as that of the Spirit and such are regarded as wolves in sheep's clothing and such are the works that are consumed .
*1 Corinthians 3:15*
KJV:If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to walk by faith always.

Those living the victorious life are obeying every Word of Life.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point:*
My Redeemer , fill me with more of Your Spirit I can have more faith to obey in Jesus name.

Jesus talks to me in *Matthew 5:44*
KJV:But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Because the life He gave is a life that overcomes enemies by loving them. If God issues an instruction there must be blessings such as peace , joy , attached to it. There must be blessings awaiting me for harvesting when I am able to love my enemies.
One of the blessings of loving my enemies is revealed in
*1John 4:18*
AMP:There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].

It is a blessing for fear to be cast out of me since fear causes my soul to suffer terror , worries and unrest.
Whom and What I fear is greater than me so if I fear my enemies it means they are greater than me but when I love them it means I am like God who is greater than them as seen in
*Matthew 5:45*
KJV:That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

The idea of loving my enemies is not to admire or be like them in their evil ways but it is to work out salvation in them. Even Satan and his host are under the bondage to serve those who love their enemies. Love makes me a master over Satan or makes Satan to serve me has he serves God according to His will. The fear , that comes from the believe that enemies(in the flesh) and satanic hosts can harm me at their own free will , is cast out.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to love my enemies.

Those living the victorious life are not living in the fear for their enemies.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point*
My Lord Holy Spirit , form in me more of the love of God in Jesus name.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*

Continued from last week....
*1 Corinthians 13:6*
KJV:Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

It is love that can stop me from committing sin because love does not delight in hurting myself and others. Love is formed by words of truth reason it rejoices when truth is established. If I do not know the truth then I can not be set free from hating myself and others. The truth that worldliness is vanities sets me free from spirit of hate(jealousy and envy ). I can not love two masters , God and the world. I can only love one and hate the other. If I love God I will hate sin and if I love sin I will hate God.

*1 Corinthians 13:7*
AMP:Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]

Love will always stand in the truth therefore it will bear anything to resist committing evil, sinful acts. The love of Job made him to bear his calamities and as his love was tested . The love of God was tested when Jesus forgave those mocking Him on the cross so also will my love be tested. My love for God , others and those despising (enemies) me will be tested. If I faint in the days of adversity , my love is little (paraphrased) - Proverbs 24:10. It is love that can make me to be uncompromisingly righteous.
Love believes others , sinners can be changed into Christ likeness so it bears their shortcomings for this purpose. If my love for others is not based on this purpose it is not agape(genuine) love.

*1 Corinthians 13;8*
NIV:Love never fails...

Is it not amazing to know love will never fail to change me and others into the likeness of God!

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to grow in love and change others into the likeness of Jesus.

I am living the victorious life because I am changing into the likeness of Jesus and changing others likewise.

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

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*

Love is a passion that drives beings to do extraordinary things , go through hardships for the aimed success to become a reality.
The love of God made redemption and salvation of Man a reality. Man can now live like a god as God wanted. I am now a god over , Sin , Death , Satan , money and all the world considers as riches. Being a god over riches does not mean I will possess it as much as I desire , it rather means it can not control me to sin ( to be proud , rejoice or sorrow). Being a god over riches means I will use it in the will of God , to touch souls for salvation , to help spread the message of salvation.
The love of God changes me.
Then God commands me to love others as myself. This command as been misconstrued to mean I must first seek my vanities gain before others since the command did not say love others more than myself. The love God is referring to is the love to save others soul as I had been saved.
The love I have for myself is that I should not go against God , or to sin so also the love I have for others is not to make them not go against God or to sin. In essential my love should change others into the likeness of God.
Looking at the write up of Paul in
*1 Corinthians 13:*
*4* AMP:Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

My love should endure both mine and others changing into the likeness of God. My love for others to be changed into the likeness of God can not be envious , jealous , over their vanities success since its not the focus of my love. My love should keep them focused on changing into the likeness of God.
My love would not make others to be envious to desire riches dues to my boastings and being vainglorious. My love should not show off vanities for others to seek and envy but to show off my likeness of God for others to emulate. My love for others should not be vanities success centered as the hallmark of salvation but God-likeness centered as the hallmark of salvation.

*5* .KJV:Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

If my love seeks to change others I would not behave in an unlikeness of God since I am building them up in likeness of God , my love would not only seek my vanities success but seek the changing of others first. Since my love for myself is to seek first my own change before vanities success so also my love for others should be to seek their change first before their vanities success. And peradventure vanities success (healing , etc) comes first , it is to be able to easily work out changing into the likeness of God.
Again I will not be easily provoked by others adamant sinful nature because I know they are ignorant of their actions and I know the root of their actions is still in love for vanities I am working to deliver them from.
My love would not think evil towards others I am seeking to change into the likeness of God. Evil thought comes from love of vanities( money)...to be continued

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to love others as God loves them.

Those living the victorious life are changing others into the likeness of God.

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

*Weekly Prayer Point*

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*

Life was given to Man after creation but it was cut short , taken away from him/ her when he/she sinned and death came into him/her. Sin caused death. Sin 'killed' the life in them.

*Romans 6:23*
AMP:For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord.

The love of God for me to be restored to life was depicted on crucifixion day. This life restored to me is not like the old 'death-life' that loves the things of this world more than God and thus can be killed by it(them). People have died for the love money , sex , fame , loss of loved ones etc. The restored life can not be killed by the things of this world since it loves God more than vanities. The restored life can not fall into temptations , can not be deceived by Satan since it loves God more than vanities. The restored life can not be killed by sin since it loves God more than vanities so it has no reason to fear Satan , Death.

*Matthew 10:28*
KJV:And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

The restored life is afraid to sin because of the destruction from God.
Therefore in lieu of these it is only sin that can cause me to feel ashamed , have low self-esteem , be sorrowful in the world of vanities. If vanities lack can cause me to feel ashamed , be of low self-esteem , to sorrow then I would soon be killed by sin.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be restored life.

Those living the victorious life are living in the fear to sin

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

*Philippians 2:13*
AMP:[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

This scriptural text is written to make anyone realize God is always at work in those who are growing in eternal life they had received in Jesus. Knowing this no man can be proud of his/her great achievements and no man can be ashamed of his/her little achievements cause the real achievement is how much work God is able to do both in and through me.
For God to be at work in me things must happen around me be it good or bad, I must come across good , bad and evil people. God will allow , almost allow or not allow good or evil thing so He can use them to work in me.
God is at work in me in good times to show He cares , to increase my love for Him , to establish my faith , to deal with pride in me. God is at work in me in bad times to make me prove my love for Him , cleanse me from love of the world (to take away whatever is god in my life) , to humble me.
God is not at work in me to increase fears , doubt , hate , jealousy , pride , sorrow ,bitterness , shame in me etc
So any time I look inward and I am walking in any of these I know it is Sin , Satan at work in me which I must cut short immediately.
God is at work to establish the likeness of Jesus , Himself in me this is His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight today's scriptural text implies.
Am I allowing God to be at work in me or am I allowing Sin , Satan to be at work in me?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to allow God to work in me always.

Those living the victorious life are not allowing Sin , Satan to work in them.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE 🖋️📚*

My acts is the reflections , handiworks of what (the kind of spirit) is inside of me. When my act is divinely good it must be by the good spirit inside and when my act is divinely bad it must be by the evil spirit inside. My reactions to circumstances , whether good or bad , reveals the kind of spirit residents in me. If in good or bad circumstances I acted in good or evil manner my focus should not be on the circumstances around me but on what or which spirit is in control of my reactions. Tests and temptations are purposed to reveal my reactions. My reactions must always be positive reason God orders thanksgiving in all good and bad circumstances.
*1 Thessalonians 5:18*
AMP:Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].

Any circumstance should not make me allow evil spirit control my reactions. Cain came into a bad circumstance and was warned about allowing sin gaining entrance into his heart but he was more focused on the outside , on the circumstances of rejection and Abel's acceptance than what is going on inside of him , the spirit of hatred controlling his reactions. *Genesis 4:7*
Saul on the other hand came into a good circumstance by defeating the Amalekites but he was more focused on his victory and the spoils than what was going on inside of him , the spirit of lust taking control of him.
*1 Samuel 15:9*
AMP:Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, oxen, fatlings, lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but all that was undesirable or worthless they destroyed utterly.

There are reactions I do not want but I can not control them because of the spirits inside are greater than me and the reason I must cast them out. But how can I cast what is greater than me out? Paul gave the answer in
Romans 7:
24.AMP:O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death?
25 AMP:O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord!....

Now I need to work on allowing the Word enter and grow inside of me so He can cast evil spirits out of me.
I need to focus on casting them out and also reject them from regaining access into me more than the outside circumstances.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to focus more on my inside than outside.

Those living the victorious life are casting every evil spirits out of them and always reacting positively.

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

In the book of Ecclesiastes Solomon enlightens that to everything that a man/ woman passes through whether good or bad each has its own divine purpose which is primarily to change the man/ woman into the likeness of God.

*Ecclesiastes 3:1*
KJV:To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

If anyone is to be changed into the likeness of God he/she has to be led by Holy Spirit in everything he/she does since everything has a divine timing and purpose. If I am not led by Holy Spirit I will be led by spirits of the world which are lusts of the eyes, flesh and pride of life according to 1 John 2:16.
I must not let my purpose for passing through everything be of gaining the approval and treasures of the world else I would be becoming more like the world and a friend of the world is an enemy of God as written in;
*James 4:4*
KJV:Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Changing into the likeness of God is a conscious activity as it is guided by Holy Spirit.
How often should I show love , rejoice , not worry , forgive etc ?
If it has to be always then I have to be led by Holy Spirit cos flesh can not do this and I will be led by Holy Spirit as long as I do the Word. Holy Spirit is also The Word. I can not be doing the Word and miss my purpose , live in sorrows , lose eternal treasures etc.
God has ordained , divine sufferings , tribulations for changing me so does He has sufferings , tribulations for sinners.
If having abundance of worldliness will not change me into His likeness why should I run after it and if divine sufferings and tribulations will change me into His likeness why should I run away from it?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to always be led by Holy Spirit.

Those living the victorious life are always waiting on God in all seasons.

The Word has said a day of judgment will come where all the deeds of everybody will be judged and since The Word has said it , it will certainly come to pass. God has not hidden this day from us because He loved us to make us prepare for that day so as not to be condemned. Now it is only those who believes in God that will become wise to prepare themselves for that day. They are wise not to live in sins and to always do the will of God for their lives. To be able to do this, we will face or encounter things in this world both great and small to record our deeds for the coming judgement day. It is imperative to see every thing that befalls us whether good or bad as a test for us to pass in preparation for judgement day.
If we are attached to the things of this world we will not be able to pass our tests, thus we will be condemned on judgement day.

*2 Timothy 2:4*
KJV:No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

We must see passing on judgement day as a war because of the oppositions from the desires of the flesh and activities of satanic hosts through the things of this world.
The flesh must be dealt with, its works must be stopped and the Spirit allowed to work through us before any man/ woman can pass on judgement day reason Paul wrote:
*Romans 8:1*
KJV:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
*4* That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Every activity I carry out be it in the home, place of work, Church and neighborhood I must behave in the manner after the Spirit since the Spirit is not under condemnation like the flesh is if I want to pass on judgement day.
Every work of the flesh is condemned.
After judgement comes reward for each work done. No work will be overlooked reason I must always walk after the Spirit as He leads if I want my reward to be full.
Am I preparing for judgement day?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to live after the Spirit.

Those living the victorious life are stopping the activities of the flesh.

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

Why do I doubt and fear as pertaining the things of the world ? Doubt and fear are the spirits of the world leading those they control their lives into errors , disobedience , sins so therefore they should be cast out of every child of God. A child of God is one who knows the Father very well.
*John 17:3*
*KJV:And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
*
To know the Father very well is to believe He is always good to His children according to His eternal purpose for them which is to cleanse them from the sins of the world, to transform them back into His likeness. Every child of God must come to this level of understanding before he/ she can walk with God. If there be no understanding between two personalities they can not walk together.
The goodness of God in not about needless worldly achievements but changing His children into His likeness causing them to go through good and bad times reason He tells His children who understands the glorious work He is working in them to give thanks always not for the worldly things they achieve(good times) or unable to achieve(bad times) but for changing into the likeness of their Father thus behaving like Him.
The spirits of doubt and fear dies out in every child that understands the Father's goodness towards them. Those who turned back from the Father did it because their understanding of Father's goodness is about providing things of the world to satisfy their souls. The goodness of God sometimes is to suffer lack. Spirits of the world wants to enjoy worldliness outside the will of God and will reject suffering lack that is in the will of God. The wisdom of God to kill these spirits is to deprive them of their desires. So if God has not provided me my need He does not want to provide spirits of the world in me their needs.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be changing into the likeness of the Father.

Those living the victorious life are casting out the spirits of doubt and fear

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖊️📚

The reason I must be born again by the Spirit is so that I could have characters , behaviors like God. When Adam sinned his characters changed to that of Sin because he had been born again by Sin reason he was afraid and hid himself from God after he behaved like satan. Every sinner will be afraid to come into God's presence because of judgment. Man/Woman was born again by Sin through Adam and sin reigned in humans that God repented for creating them.

*Romans 5:14*
KJV:Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

Before Jesus came death reigned through Sin and after Jesus ascended and by the coming of Spirit the reign of Sin ended. Now we are in the reign of the Spirit and righteousness whether the world accept it or not.
If my characters are not in conformity to that of Jesus/Spirit it means I am not born again by the Spirit and I am not reigning with the Spirit.

*Romans 5:17*
KJV:For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Jesus had ended the reign of Sin thus 'his' characters can not be in me anymore if I accept Jesus wholeheartedly.
*John 3:6*
KJV:That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Whosoever is born of flesh can not behave like the Spirit and whosoever is born of Spirit can not behave like flesh. The works of flesh are hatred, fear, doubt, greediness, adultery, formication etc the Spirit can never do any of the works of flesh. The works of Spirit are love, joy, faith , etc the flesh can never do any of these works. Every man/woman knows the works he/she has done and is doing. The works I am doing is the identity of whom I really am.
If I am born again by the Spirit I will do works after the Spirit.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖊️📚

*Psalms 42:1* KJV:As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

The soul of a man/woman is formed out of the soul of God reason we are in the image and likeness of God. The soul should make me function like God , to think and desire all the things as He does. I was put in Eden to domain because I have this God-kind of soul in me. All the names given to other creations by Man is approved as an evidence to this God- kind of soul in me.
When sin came into my soul I thirsted (lusts) especially for man-made things (money, cars, jewelries , shoes , gadgets etc) and I became insatiable as expressed by

*Ecclesiastes 5:10* KJV:He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Even having the best things of the world in abundance can not satisfy my soul so why should I make them my focus, my fasting and prayer points?
It is only been in the likeness of God that can satisfy my soul. An insatiable soul will be burdened thus suffering , cause there is no peace and rest in wanting.
The soul of Man should thirst for God always since it is the only thing we lost in Eden that brought other losses.
It is not the soul formed out of God that thirsts for worldly pleasures , it is the soul that is formed out of the 'soul' of Sin.

*1 John 2:16*
KJV:For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

If my soul thirsts for the glories and pleasures of the world then my soul still belongs to Sin and Satan but if its thirsting after righteousness , holiness then it belongs to God.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to have the God-kind of soul.

Those living the victorious life are thirsty for God only.

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

Weekly Prayer Point:
Dear Holy Spirit cleanse my soul from love of the world that is not making me thirst for God in Jesus name.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖊️📚

It is the spirit in a man/woman that moves the body to act in each particular way. If a man/woman is righteous, it is the renewed spirit in him/her doing it. If a man/woman is lukewarm it is the spirit which is under renewing or stagnant in growth that is doing it. If a man/woman is sinful it is the unregenerate spirit in him/her at work. No man/woman can change the spirit in him/her by himself/ herself unless another spirit comes into play.
The Psalmist knowing this wrote "AMP:Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. Psalms 51:10 and
Paul also cried out in Romans 7:
24 "KJV:O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25
KJV:I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

David and Paul tells us its only God or Jesus Who can help change a sinful spirit to a holy spirit. So anyone that is willing to have a new , regenerated , holy spirit will come to God through Jesus.
The two men no longer felt comfortable with sin anymore and voiced out. I will do same when I am no longer comfortable with sin and until then I will remain silent.

1 John 2:16 "
KJV:For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

This revelation from John exposes the spirit behind sinful acts or every form of ungodliness so now it is no longer hidden to us and it is only those who wants these three spirits in them that will contain them.
Do I contain these three spirits in me or wrestle till I put them out?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to have renewed spirit in me.

Those living the victorious life are driving out the sinful spirit in them.

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

Weekly Prayer Point:
Dear Father help me to be willing to change the sinful spirit in me to holy spirit.

Live a spiritually blessed week.

*Easter Edition* : Let not sin reign over you. Romans 6:12

Another Easter has come to remind me of my salvation from sin , wrath of God coming upon sinners , dominion of Satan. It will be a waste if I do not reflect on my sins and the opportunity of salvation in this season.
As a spiritual infant The Cross is a reminder I need to be remorseful for my sins so I can desire to change , to accept salvation. If I do not feel remorseful it means I am satisfied with living in my sins and I do not need Jesus in the areas of my sins but I need Him in areas of my worldly desires.
But as a spiritually matured person The Cross is a reminder of my victory over sins , Satan and demons and my restoration to a child of God which then causes me to celebrate rather than being remorseful. Christmas is a reminder of the birth of The Saviour and Easter is a reminder of my rebirth ( born again) so its worthy of celebration. I am celebrating victory of Jesus and my rebirth status.
The victory over sins in the Cross can not be changed , cancelled by powers of darkness but can be lost , given away by me. So the power is solely in my decision not to allow sin entice me to domain me anymore. Through the knowledge of God I am not ignorant of the enticement of sin anymore.

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

The advantage sin/ Satan has over sinners is knowledge of the importance of worldly things to their existence. Those whose existence have been threatened by vanities things have committed suicide, and some have become criminals, prostitutes because the are ignorant.
I read , believe and obey the words of God so I will not be ignorant. If I am not ignorant I can not be deceived.
Do have a joyful Easter celebration.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to domain over sin / Satan.

Those living the victorious life are celebrating Easter spiritually more than physically. The ignorant celebrate Easter physically with secular music , dances and alcohols.

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

Weekly Prayer Point: Dear Father thank You for giving me Your only Son for the restoration of my soul and help me to gain more knowledge to trample over sin.

Live a spiritually blessed week.

*Easter Edition*:
The Love that delivered me from being a sinner.

There was great sorrow in heaven the day Man fell into sin, though there had been a redemption plan from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:8 KJV:And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

It was not the joy of God that Christ should be the sacrifice since God turned His back(forsake) at Christ on the cross for He could not bear to watch the Guiltless suffer in that manner for the guilty as a just God , but it was His love that made Jesus to be crucified.

Mark 15:34
KJV:And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

At this hour, Christ was forsaken and Man is accepted because Man been is delivered from sin as the thief at the right hand of Jesus. Its not only the thief that was delivered that day but everyone who followed the footpath of this thief as a sinner in coming to Jesus as the One who can take a man/woman to paradise. The thief destined for hell turned his destiny to the destination of Jesus because he had been delivered from being a sinner.
Love made it possible for a sinner to change his/ her destination from hell to heaven.
Love made it possible for a sinner to be living in love, joy, peace, wisdom, righteousness etc always.
Love made it possible for a sinner to have dominion over Satan again.
Love restored me fully.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me not to be a sinner anymore.

Those living the victorious life are holy in their daily activities.

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

Weekly Prayer Point: Dear Father thank You for saving me from the life of sin and changing my destiny from hell to heaven.

*Easter Edition* : The love that forgave all my sins.

Matthew 18:23 KJV:Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24
KJV:And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25
KJV:But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26
KJV:The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27
KJV:Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Sin is a debt no Man can pay because it required death and no Man can die for his/ her sins and still live.
I am the servant in the Bible passage above who owed so much and could not pay. If he had been thrown into the prison it would have been the end of his life but he was forgiven and given another chance to live. I had been given another chance to live after I accepted the death of Christ into my life that paid all my sins. I need to continue to live a debt free life since I now realized I can not pay the debts I owed and do not want to live the rest of my life in punishment as a prisoner. So the enjoyment of life is living a debt free life which only is in Jesus.
The servant did not continue living a debt free life in that he did not forgave the little debt a servant like himself owed him. Any sin another man/woman did against me is a little debt no matter how 'vanity' life - threatening the sin is. Eternal life can not be threatened by lack of vanities so I must forgive debts owed by others. If I have received eternal life my living is absolutely secured and can not be threatened by vanities.
The servant was summoned to give account of his personal life and found others indebted to him.
I will one day give personal account of the debts others owed me and if they are found indebted to me then I am in serious trouble.

Romans 6:23
KJV:For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The gift of God is the forgiveness of my debts. If I am truly enjoying this gift I should give it to others.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to forgive all sins against my life.

Those living the victorious life are living a debt free life.

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

Weekly Prayer Point: Dear Father thank You for forgiving me all my debts and helping me to forgive the debts of others.

Easter Edition:
The Love That Sought And Found Me.

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

When sin came into Man he was sent out of the presence of God to be wandering on his own to signify he had been lost. He became wretched because he lost the glory bequeathed on him. He did not value this glory because he never worked or suffered to have it. He chose to worked for the empty glory sin/Satan promised him and also ended losing the genuine glory he had. I am working for empty glory if I seek the things of the world. Just as Satan tempted Jesus with empty glory by asking Him to bow to him so is he tempting me to bow(cheat, lie, deceive, conspire, steal, fornicate etc) to have the things of the world.
Romans 3:23
KJV:For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Because Man is on his own, his conditions got worse and did all abominable things to destroy themselves and other creations of God. In other words , he became wretched and causing others to be wretched.
In this condition God pitied , had compassion on him so much that He did not consider Who and what He is, to come and save Man from His wrath.
I am lost when I do not enjoy praying, praising, living by words of life. I am lost when I continue to live in sins, in love for the world.
I have been found if I follow the teachings of Jesus as The good Shepherd leading His sheep to join the Father's flock again.

Believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus is the beginning of salvation. If I have not died to the world I can not experience salvation.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to rejoin the Father's flock again.

Those living the victorious life follow the teachings of Jesus.

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

Weekly Prayer Point: Dear Father thank you that You found and saved me. Now I am living a new life.

Easter Edition:
The Love of the season.

As we are in the Lenten season it is paramount that we talk more on the reason for this season. It is a season that is remarkable because of the significance of what Christ did for all because of love. Let us study the love that made Christ to suffer and die for us.
Who am I that the only begotten Son of God should take the woes of God on me upon Himself?
God created me in His own image and likeness and gave me dominion to show that He loved me. Yet with all these show of love from God I rejected Him as one who is the enemy and hated His ways as one that is selfish and wicked. I took on the image and likeness of the beast and so I became cursed,valueless, wretched and doomed. As a beast I value not the things of God but values the things of a beast.

Matthew 7: 6 KJV:Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Now if I value beastly gains, my end will be as the end of a beast who has no promised inheritance.
God's inheritance is for children.

Matthew 16:26 KJV:For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Hell is the end of every beastly likeness and this is not what God wants for me and the only way is to send Jesus to redeem me back to the likeness of the family of God where I originally belonged and destined to be eternally great.
I only have to accept the works of crucifixion and resurrection by believing.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be changed into the likeness of Christ.

Those living the victorious life believes in the death and resurrection.

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

Weekly Prayer Point: Dear Father thank You for Your love that brought salvation to me.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 📚🖊️

Salvation came not by Man's thoughts , knowledge ,works or power but by love and wisdom of God.
It is a total turn around from sinfulness to holiness. The life of sin must be put away, put to death before the life of holiness can thrive , groom to maturity.
Philippians 3:18 KJVFor many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

The sinfulness life is an enemy of the cross of Christ because the cross represents its death.
The works done to destroy the sinful life is what is referred to as salvation and for this reason
Philippians 2:12
KJV:Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Destroying the sinful life is doing the works of obedience to the commandments(the Word), the nudging of Holy Spirit because the sinful life wants to continue obeying the commandments of love for vanities (the world) , the nudging of evil spirits. The sinful life wants to continue to do secular dancing, gossiping, adultery, fornication, loving money etc even after confessing and accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
1 John 2:16
KJV:For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I have to be doing works of salvation of always rejoicing , humbleness, hoping, loving, praising, praying etc.
Salvation is not about claiming goodies of vanity world but about destroying the real enemy, the sinful life.
The enemies of the cross are those not doing the works of salvation.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be destroying the sinful life anytime it wants me to sin.

Those living the victorious life are doing works of salvation.

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

Weekly Prayer Point:
Lord please by Thy grace help me to do the works of salvation so I can receive more of Thy life so doing works of salvation will become easier.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖋️📚

Isaiah 29:13 KJV:Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men:

We speak only to someone in our presence because we are conscious of their presence. No one can be talking to someone not in their presence else it will be termed madness. It is a mistake to only think and act as such, that prayer is the only time I am talking in the presence of God. The truth that God is omnipresent means everywhere I am talking I am talking in His presence though I may be talking to others. For this reason I must be conscious of my speech anywhere I am and whomever I am talking to.

Matthew 12:36 :But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

If my heart is not aware I am in God's presence my speech will be empty, vague, powerless even during prayers,worship and praise. Its only my mouth and lips that acknowledges not the presence of God but His existence. If my heart is not with God then it must be with another gods. And where my heart is, is where my love is and where my true services lies and as it is written where my treasures are is where my heart is - Matthew 6:21.
Testimonies rooted in vanity gains are evidences of my heart's closeness to vanities more than God.
I can only deceive myself and others of my closeness to God but not God. My heart knows who I am closer to.
If I am more conscious of my speech when I am in the presence of men that I can not declare boldness for God it implies my heart is more closer to men and vanities than to God.

1Peter 1:15KJV:But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Holy conversation is proof I am aware I am in God's presence always both in good and bad times so I must maintain it.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to always talk in the presence of God.

Those living the victorious life are living in the awareness of God's presence always reason they are always victorious.

In Eden Adam had all the resources they needed to live in abundance or in incalculable resources to live in. But when Sin entered they begun living in limited
resources because coming short of glory means living in limited resources

Romans 3:23 KJV:For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Living in calculable resources brings sufferings and no matter how rich I am if my riches are calculable I will still have some sufferings my riches can not take care of as the saying goes "The Rich also cry". Riches can not make me or anyone an All Sufficient One. Yet the sufferings caused by living in limited resources is used to keep me on my toes in the things of the spirit since that is the only realm where I find comfort, joy and peace. The moment I feel I am all sufficient , I will do whatever pleases me as the rich young man who turned down the offer to become an apostle from Jesus to continue doing what pleases him with his calculable riches despite he was offered living in incalculable riches in heaven Luke 18: 22-27.
Am I also turning down the offer to follow, live like Jesus because I want to live in limited resources to my own pleasures thereby jettisoned living in unlimited resources?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to stop living in limited riches.

Those living the victorious life are living far above their limited riches.

Sin is the general name for all works of unrighteousness ,1 John 5:17 and as we know their are different forms of sins and all start from thoughts for example there is the sin of jealousy, unforgiveness, fear of other creatures, etc. The root of all sin(evil) is the love for the world because they are connected with it. The sin of fears for example is based on losing vanities (including one's and loved one's lives amongst others) and to buttress this the young rich ruler in Luke 18:18-23 could not forsake his riches to follow Jesus because of his fear for his survival same for those who fear loosing their life or their family member and forsook to carry their cross.
Matthew 10:37 , 39
KJV:He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
39
KJV:He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Cleansing from each particular Sin requires The Word of Life that will cut off the connection with love for the world and this Word of Life will not come at once but will come little by little as a mighty building is built by laying one block at a time. I must first be established( be a doer) in a Word before another Word will be given if not another Word will never be given.
Isaiah 28:10KJV:For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

reason the Word of Life is also referred to as the Bread of life everyone needs to feed on each day.
John 6:50 KJV:This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
"Give us this day our daily bread..." There is a Word of Life that is meant for me to eat today that will deliver from sin, cut off the connection with love for the world. It is dangerous for me if I do not eat it cos sin will continue to thrive and I do not have any excuse cos Jesus has come and conquered. I must not be too busy not to eat my daily bread and I must not be satisfied if I have not eaten my daily bread.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be eating the Word of Life everyday.

Those living the victorious life are a doer of the Word and are been blessed with love, joy, peace, etc. James 1:25

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

Miracles are the manifestations of the power of God to prove His Almightiness. Why does God needs to prove His Almightiness? If man never sinned there would not be any need to prove His Almightiness cause man would not be needing any miracle, he/she will be doing all he/she needs by himself/herself since he/she had been given power to subdue anything as seen in
Genesis 1:28 "AMP:And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth."
But when Sin entered man things turned against him/her and he/she became weak thence needing miracles to succeed even to feed a times. What terrible times sin brought to man!
But thank God for God so loved the world He did not give up on man to perish and He sent His Son to give man the greatest miracle of Salvation from Sin. But despite this benevolence gift of God, man still continues to living in Sin, he/she still considers other miracles as greater than Salvation reason testimonies of deliverance from Sin are not as pronounced as that of meeting vanities needs. The only miracle that can save man eternally is that of salvation. Just as most Israelites still perished after receiving several miraculous supplies in wilderness and did not enter promised land, even so will those only seeking miraculous supplies of vanities will perish and will not enter heaven. They did not seek to know and love God.

Hebrews 4: 1-2
KJV:Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2
KJV:For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

The day(which in fact is an everyday deliverance because it is gradual) I considered my greatest need is to be delivered from Sin that day I will consider salvation as the greatest miracle I need and Jesus the center of my life for Christ died for me when I was a sinner not when I was lacking vanities (food,clothes, job,husband, wife,children, etc)
What I love the most is what I will seek.

Romans 5:8
AMP:But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.

Any gospel that preaches the reason man must come to Christ is for vanities provision/security is weak and deceptive.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be seeking progressive miraculous deliverance from Sin daily.

Those living the victorious life are seeking miracles of salvation daily as their daily bread.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today so I will be saved from Sin.

In Eden Adam and Eve were cautious of the presence of God in their daily living. Day by day they became engrossed with their vanities environment and thus were gradually moving away from the awareness of God's presence. Sin was gradually building up in them till Satan saw it and struck the blow once. The one blow was able to knock them out because they had became weak by engrossing their souls in vanities. The moment a soul starts engrossing itself in vanities that moment God's presence weakens and Sin's presence strengthens then falling into sin becomes easier.

Philippians 3:19 KJV:Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Those whose bellies have become their Gods are engrossed in their vanities so are more dependent on them and less dependent on God making vanities their first Gods and God second, and the reason their first call in times of solution to a trouble or desired needs is on their vanities(money, influential people).
*How do I know if I am engrossed in vanities?*
~ If I derive pleasures in vanities(food, fashion, sex, etc) more than godliness.
~ If I can not leave my vanities pleasures for God whenever He needs me to talk to or act on His behalf.
~ If I assert the fact that it is lack or plenty of money that is making me to suffer or enjoy.
~ Also to assert to the fact that it is my holiness that is making me to suffer and not my unknown sin / yet to be regenerated life {As such ones may soon compromise.}.

Anyone engrossed in vanities is rich as long as they believe it is vanities that makes them to suffer or to enjoy. But the REAL cause of suffering and enjoyment is living in sin and living in holiness. It is not those who live in vanities enjoyment or vanities suffering that will enter heaven but those who live in holiness enjoyment. If I have not seen holiness as enjoyment there is no way I can be delivered from sinful life or be rooted in it. If missionaries where to be living in vanities enjoyment the Gospel will not spread.
In whatever situation I find myself it is God I will only say I need because if I have Him, He will supply the needs. To say I need both God and money is deception, subtle idolatry and serving two masters.
God can lift me up in vanities and can also let me down in vanities with the aim of working out eternal life in me reason all things work together for good. Romans 8:28.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me not to be engrossed in vanities

Those living in victorious life make God their first call and enjoy living in holiness.

I Accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and be saved.

Weekly Prayer Point:
Holy Spirit my Lord please set me free from engrossment in vanities to engross me in holiness by the work Jesus did.

*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖋️📚

All the creations of God is perfect so we can refer to it as a 'Master piece'. Every Creation is perfectly fitted into their environment to be able to carry out their necessary function(s). It is only death that can stop all creations except Man from functioning. Its only Man that can be living without functioning or even dysfunction(destroying what he/she is meant to maintain). If I love vanities more than God I will dysfunction reason 1 Timothy 6:12 says those who seek vanities will become evil and even pierce , harm themselves!
I am perfectly created, a Master's piece to be living in love, joy, peace, meekness, holiness, in every good ways of life of God.
Ephesians 2:10
KJV:For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

A Master's piece must be able to do the good works of love, joy, peace etc else it is not a Master's piece. Though not every good works are good if not inspired by The Spirit.
Shall we continue in sin(hatred,lusts,covetousness, etc) and still be claiming to be living in grace or to be fearfully and wonderfully made?

Romans 6:1 "Shall we continue in sin and say grace should abound?"

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

Our days will be fruitful and effective if we live as a Master's piece.
In this new year make every day count to your glory by living as a Master's piece.
To become a Master's piece requires concise and consistent prayer points on transformation.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to become The Master's piece again.

Those living the victorious life are now doing every good works that had been ordained for them to do.

Accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and be saved.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to come to earth on Christmas day that whosoever believes in Him should not perish forever in hell but live forever in heaven in the goodness of God.(paraphrased) John 3:16.
The love that died for me should be reciprocated by making me not to live in fear anymore. The fear of death, of losses and of punishment in hell is the fear that secretly torments everybody as it is written " KJV:There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
If the love of God is growing in me it will be casting out fear of satan, bad omens and lack from my soul. Loving God with all my soul, heart and body and loving others are solely for my benefits because I will be rewarded exceedingly more than I did.
Love that died for me gives me the life assurance that satan can not do as he pleases with me, that God can never do wickedness to me, that I can not have any loses that will cost me my eternal life.
The Love that died for me rather made satan to fear me and me to fear sin, God.
It is fear that can sometimes make me to disobey God as Saul did in
1 Samuel 15:24" And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice."
The fear in me is my satan tormenting me.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to not to fear satan anymore.

Those living the victorious life are casting out all forms of fear.

Accept Christ or the Word you read or hear today and be saved.

Weekly Prayer Point:
My Helper, I can not cast out fears from my soul please fill me with more of the likeness of God in Jesus name. Amen.

*Merry Christmas*

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whomever believes in Him should not perish forever in hell but live forever in heaven in the goodness of God. (Paraphrased) John 3:16.
The love that died for me should be reciprocated by making me to go through trials, persecutions and tribulations without breaking down and turning back but with rejoicing. If Jesus can go through persecutions for my sake then He expect me to go through persecutions for His sake and that is loving someone and someone loving you back. Agape love will always bring blessings as seen in
Matthew 5:11-12
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.Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Agape love is the love that is selfless, unconditional because it does not flow from worldliness but from 'eternaliness'(rewards of heaven). All other types of love is rooted in what is seen or enjoyed physically. The love that can betrays, abandons, backslides, is rooted in what is seen but the love that sticks in all conditions is rooted in what is unseen. To love Jesus first is wisdom since through Him all things were created reason Romans 8: 32
KJV:He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
If I want to have all things I need without 'unreasonable' stress, then it is wise I love Jesus first who died for me to have all I can not even imagine are in existence as confirmed in Ephesians 3:20 KJV:Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
And the power that worketh in us is love.
So if I truly believe these things beyond my imaginations exists then I must reciprocate the love that died for me by going through trials , persecutions with rejoicing since I love Him am doing it for.
If Abraham, Moses Daniel and friends etc loved the world more they would not subdue the love for the world that would had limited them forever.

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.

The truth is when I go through persecutions I get transformed, sin's hold on me becomes weaker and weaker till l am free.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to go through persecutions successfully.

Those living the victorious life are rejoicing in their persecutions.

Accept Jesus or the Word you read or hear today and be saved.

Weekly prayer points:
Holy Spirit help me to go through persecutions for holiness sake.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sin that whoever believes in Him should not perish forever in hell but live forever in heaven in the goodness of God. (Paraphrased) John 3:16.
The love that made the most glorious Being to die for the sin I committed should be reciprocated in the following ways:
To build the Father and son/daughter relationship as seen in Jesus. God the Father does not want a distant relationship with His children and He longs for you to draw closer reason He says to you in
James 4:8 " Draw near to God and He will draw near to you... "
Consider how a human father loves to watch his children grow around him so is it with God your real Father.
There is no harm in having a relationship with God but all round goodness. Do not allow your sins ( love for the world) to keep you away from enjoying these goodness. If you being evil knows how to give good gifts how much more your heavenly Father! Matthew 7:9-11.
The second relationship we need to build is with others. We can not have good relationship with God and be in bad relationship with others. See this in
1 John 4:7,8,11,12 7.Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8
KJV:He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
11
KJV:Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12
KJV:No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

So you can see clearly its not your position or service in Church, not your vanities break forth fasting and prayers, not your speaking in tongues of men or of angels, gift of prophecy, mountain moving faith, giving all your possession to the poor and my body to hardship (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) that makes you to know God but the love that wants others to see the light, to be saved for this reason it is said unto you; You are the light of the world.
The cause of hate relationship between others is love for the world/ lust as highlighted in James 4:1 KJV:From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

The spirit of hate does not come from God but from love for the world.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to reciprocate the Love that died to save you.

Those living the victorious life are in love relationship with God and others.

Accept Jesus or the Word you read or hear today and be saved.

Weekly prayer points:
My Lord Holy Spirit please help me kill the spirit of love for the world in me and to reciprocate the love that died for me to God and others.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.
