The fall in Eden opened the eyes of mankind to make things of the world their riches because they had fallen from divine glory and wanted to replace it with earthly glory ( riches) because mankind is wired to live in glory. God lives in glory so has He created mankind to live in glory not in suffering. We are to deal with sin not with suffering since sin is the cause of all suffering.
The riches of the world is poverty to the kingdom and the poverty of the world is riches of the kingdom as highlighted in Revelations 2:9
KJV:I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
And in Revelation 3:
17
KJV:Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

These are the revelation of Jesus on riches of the world and riches of the kingdom. The poverty of the world to Jesus is living in lust for the worldly riches while the wealth of the kingdom is living the eternal life / doing good works. Therefore if anyone says he/she is rich based on worldly possessions and not on kingdom possessions, to him/her Jesus says is truly poor no wonder Paul counted as 'spiritual' dung the possessions of the world and 'physical' riches the possession of likeness of Jesus. Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.
If thine heart does not see like Paul thou canst be focused , contented, full of thanksgiving and joyful.
The prayer points in Church services, vigils, crusades are major on glory of the world and minor on salvation reason the Church is poor and consequently weak. The glory mankind lost has been restored by Jesus the only enemy stopping you is the sins you are living in/ have not given up and not Satan. Satan is only doing his works as a faithful servant of the wrath of God upon sinners. He has no authority to punish whoever is righteous unless the righteousness of the righteous is not yet full, unless the devil still has a foothold.
Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
From this text it is clear it is you giving place to the devil not the devil taking it by power.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to get rich in the kingdom.

Those living the victorious life are spiritually counting as dung their riches of the world.

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

Weekly prayer point:
My Lord Holy Spirit please help me to count as spiritual dung the possessions of the world and to count as physical riches the possessions of the kingdom in Jesus name. Amen.

Live a spiritually blessed week.

God our earthly spiritual Father wants the crucifixion of Jesus to remain fresh in the hearts of men/women for it to remained in potency. Though the crucifixion took place once, in one nation, over two thousand years ago it must remained fresh in the hearts of men/ women who steps feet on this earth.
Hebrews 10:26 KJV:For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
This scriptural text wants the crucifixion to remain fresh for as long as it remained fresh Sin/Satan remained powerless.
The works of Sin / Satan is to make the crucifixion seem untrue, unreasonable, impossible to save in the hearts of men/women.
Does sin exist or do men/women do wrong? Yes. As long as sin exist in a body, it remains fresh so does the crucifixion needs to remain fresh for Sin / Satan to remained powerless. The Sin of love for the world (which is the root of all sins) is a deceiver, deceiving many away from the crucifixion. Lost souls are lost because of this Sin.
Will yours be one of them?
1 Corinthians 1:18
KJV:"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."

Foolishness to them because they believed
in pleasures of vanities. The day Lord opened my mind to know vanities does not give eternal life by itself(or by possessing it) until through them salvation is worked into me I gained more freedom from the grip of love for the world.
If there are no things of the world there can be no either work of salvation or sin. God speaks to us using the things of the world so does Sin/satan . Example; money can be used to reach out for salvation or sinful purposes.
Reason Jesus said all things we need(plenty or lack) to make us continue to seek the kingdom of God and its righteousness will be available. Matthew 6:33.
Godly lifestyle is sustained by the crucifixion not by vanities.


With God all things are possible so it is possible for the crucifixion to remain fresh in you

Those living the victorious life are using the potency of the crucifixion so as not to be controlled by Sin/ worldly things anymore.

Mocking is a sin.
Why do you mock those who do not have what you have? Is it not God that gave whatever a man/woman has?
You mock because you believe having vanities are blessings above salvation (spiritual blessings).
You mock because you believe its by your power you have your vanities.
Galatians 6:3-5,7 KJV:For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.For every man shall bear his own burden.Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

From the above text a man who thinks he is something because he/she has vanities(talents,skills etc) or spiritual gifts will certainly mock those whom does not have what he/she has. And God says such person deceives himself/herself. So mocking is sowing evil into ones life.
Anyone who mocks is yet to gain eternal life, yet to be transformed.
So also anyone who feels the pains of mock by mockers is yet to gain eternal life, yet to be transformed from loving vanities life to loving eternal life. No one will be able to make you feel pain of mock if no love of vanities is in you, if you truly love eternal life. If you truly believe Eternal life is far greater than vanities life then you must also believe the lesser can not mock the greater. Since mocking is a sin eternal life can not mock vanities life because its greater than it , it would rather pity its pending condemnation since whatsoever a man/woman sows he/she reaps.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you not to feel the pains of mockery.

Those living the victorious life are seeing eternal life to be far greater than vanities life.

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

Weekly prayer point: Lord Holy Spirit please teach me to know that eternal life is far greater than vanities life so I can be free from bondage of vanities life.

Jesus said in John 10:10 that He has come to give life in abundance because He is life and the giver of life as He also said in John 11:25 that I am the resurrection and the life. The instruction to go into the world to preach the Gospel is an instruction to go and give the life of Jesus you had received. The only reason people are not going into the world to preach the Gospel is because they are not receiving life hence do not have (eternal) life in them. You can not give what you do not have. Those who give love, joy, peace,hope etc to others do so because they are rich in it. God is inexhaustibly rich in all good things that He gave His own precious life to redeemed the worthless life in mankind. He/she that is giving sweetness to bitterness is a salt and he/she that is shinning light is a light.

The coming of Jesus to a man/woman is the coming of a new life, nature, characters or behaviors so having a new life is the evidence that you have actually accepted the coming of Jesus to you.
John 10:10 " ...I am come that they might have life and they might have it more abundantly."
Living in this new life is the evidence you have resurrected from death to life, of being alive.
How do I know I am alive to God ?
You are alive to God when you are always rejoicing that you are a son/daughter to God no matter what you are going through.
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:Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk a prophet realized salvation is what made him a son and thus more precious than where his daily sustenance comes from. He/she that put salvation above vanities gains is alive to God and dead to sin but he/she who put vanities gains above salvation is dead(non-active)to God and alive(active) in sin.
2 Peter 3:15. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;....
Peter reveals God still suffers Godly sorrow, endures our shortcomings for Him to work out salvation in us.
If salvation is not precious then Paul will not tell us to work it out along with God in trembling and fear in Philippians 2:12-13. If salvation( your being a son or daughter) is not precious to God He will not be spending His time,energy and resources on it(you). Every vanity blessings of God on you is to work out salvation (sonship,daughtership) in you. We all must bear in mind that God only keeps records of our salvation journey.
That you are a son or daughter is more precious than all things in the world to God and must be to you also.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to accept the workings of salvation God is doing in you.

Those living the victorious life are alive to God and dead to sin.

Once a soul is born again its love must be changed gradually from loving vanities life to loving eternal life. Its love that makes a soul to grow stronger in a course of life. If a soul chose the course of living in the good things of life, the love for the things of the world will grow stronger in him/her and if a soul chose the course of living in the word of God, the love for God will grow stronger. The love for God and the things of the world can not grow together. You can not love God and love blessings. No scriptural text commanded man to love blessings but there are scriptural references that supports abandoning(hating) blessings ( money , family members). The commandment to love stopped at loving your neighbours.
Matthew 6:24. " No one can serve or love two masters."
1 John 2:5 " But whoso keeps His word, in him(her) verily is the love of God perfected and by this we know we are in Him."
If your love for God is not growing stronger then it implies you are not keeping the word of God in you. Only in obeying the word can love grow for God and others as depicted in 1 John 5:2-3 " We love others and God when we obey His commandments ".
If you are not following the leading of Holy Spirit it is a sign you do not keep to obey the word of God so you are not yet a son/daughter. No matter what you profess or confess its your conscience that knows the truth. A clear conscience will not be afraid nor doubt to call himself/ herself a son/ daughter just as a smeared conscience will not doubt to call himself/herself a thief, whoremonger , liar, murderer, backbiter,lover of money, secular music etc.
1 Timothy 3:9 " Holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience".
Without a pure conscience your faith can not work or stand.
Faith can not stand where love for the world is also standing.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live with a pure conscience.

Those living the victorious life are obeying the word.

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

The old nature of sin is still in us when we accepted the new nature of holiness reason there is an ongoing war inside of us. The new nature of holiness must put an end to the old nature of sin before a soul can be considered saved since the new nature of holiness does not sin.
"Whosoever is born of God does not sin cause His seed (life) lives in him(her) and he(she) can not sin because he(she) is born of God." 1 John 3:9
It takes time for the new nature of holiness to grow into maturity(stronger) to overpower the old nature of sin to stop sinning.
In this wise we are quick to condemn another who is still fighting war with old nature when their old nature commits sin or allow this to discourage our pursuit of holiness, that no one can be holy or as a justification for our own sins. It does not matter whom had fallen into sin, we should not be discouraged in our pursuit of holiness nor be encouraged to commit sin cause sin has no rewards no matter who commits it. We should rather seek to deliver a believer who had fallen into sin from the power of sin not to repeat it, forgive and forget by not remembering him/her of their sin through the acts of condemnation or gossiping.
I read the book 'Love the way to victory' by Kenneth Haggin how he was rebuked by God for condemning a brother who sinned and how the brother was later raised after he overcame the old nature of sin he was formerly struggling with.
A brother/sister you helped to overpower the old nature of sin today can be used to help you overpower your own old nature of sin tomorrow as it is written in Proverbs 27:17 " Iron sharpens iron so does a man sharpens the countenance of his friend'.
Paul like everyone born of woman faced this war with old nature of sin as he wrote
" The good I want to do I can not but the evil I do not that I do so now I realized the old life is warring against the growing of new life to bring me into captivity of sin. I am wretched cause I have no power of my own to overpower sin but now I have hope that through Jesus I can overpower the old life of sin(paraphrased) Romans 7:19-25.
The war with old nature of sin is not peculiar to only you.
Do not give up on your fight with old nature of sin since you have hope in Jesus.
Beware the old nature of sin will not easily give up without a fight. It will keep coming back to check if the room it was chased out is empty.
It takes time for the new nature of holiness to grow so we need to endure/ tolerant reason love endures and by it you will be able to be your brothers /sisters keepers keeping them from falling into sin.
Are you joining forces with old nature of sin to destroy a brother or sister?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to overpower old nature of sin in you and in others.

Those living the victorious life are living in the new nature of holiness.

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

Weekly prayer point: Good Holy Spirit please help me to overpower the old nature of sin.

By the fall of Man from holiness to sinfulness Man became a debtor because he/she was unable to do what he/she was created to do as God did not create Man to be jobless. A jobless Man is an hopeless Man because there is no reward for joblessness.
Romans 5: 2 "By whom also we access by faith into this grace wherein we rejoice in hope of the glory of God". Faith has to do with works which in turn make us to rejoice because we have hope we will be rewarded. A jobless Man is a faithless Man; cause no faith no works.
Loving your God, neighbours,enemies,(Matthew 5:44, 22:37) rejoicing always in good and bad times,(Philippians 4:4) living in peace with everyone(Hebrews 12:14), giving the needy etc are all the works you need to do so you will not be jobless in the vanities work where God has placed you.
Every work undone is a debt owed God and since no carnal Man can do works of Spirit reason no Man can pay his/her debts. But by the redemption of Man by Jesus Man will no longer be a debtor but a creditor as he/she would be able to do the works of The Spirit as he/she is been led by The Spirit.
Matthew 6:12 " And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors". Debts is a serious issue if it were not Jesus would not have mentioned it. Debts is wrong works done to God and Man. Wrong works are works of sins cause it is done in the interest of self only, to satisfy vanities desires. "All wrongdoing is sin" 1 John 5:17(Amplified version). Every work of flesh are wrongdoings because they are rooted in love for the world to gain the world for himself/herself. So as it is written what shall it profit a Man if he/she gained the world and loses his/ her soul ? Or what shall a Man give in exchange for his/her soul?
A Man who has no profit must be a debtor and a Man who has nothing to give in exchange for his/her soul is in debt.
Will your works be recorded in heaven or hell?
Do you think works of fear, hate, malice, backbiting, depression etc will be recorded or rewarded in heaven?

For with God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live a debt free life.

Those living the victorious life are living according to the dictates of The Spirit so are not owing God debts.

It is an honor to obey a master one intended to keep following reason Adam and Eve were casted out of garden of Eden when they honored Satan. When you sin you honor Satan as your master. And when a master is honored he/she rewards the follower. Satan also rewards his followers with things of the world, sinful ideas, to make them continue sinning and commit more 'new' sins.
God wants you to know today that when you commit sin you honor Satan so you can have the strong desire to stop the spirits of sin operating in your body by the power in the death and resurrection of Jesus which is not a physical experience but a spiritual one and so it requires a spiritual revelation to harness the benefits, to see the result or to experience the manifestation. And for this was the Holy Spirit promised to reveal , help , lead into all Truth because its the Truth that sets free, break the bondage from continuation of living in the slavery to sins.
When all the truths about sin, its consequences especially in eternity is known, no one in his/ her right sense will continue in sin for hell is not pleasurable for a second to stay and pleasures is all what mankind seeks. Living in pleasures is the nature of God Himself reason at His right hand there are pleasures evermore and the psalmist saw this in Psalms 16:11 " You will show me the path of life; In Your presence there is fullness of joy at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore. It is the path of Life to seek pleasures. It is the seeking of these immeasurable pleasures that makes a man/ woman to seek heaven and its righteousness first and to be killing every spirits of sin.
Its an honor to Satan when you hate your enemies, sorrow over worldly loss or love the world.
Are you knowing the Truth about sin? If not then sin will always be a pleasure to commit.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to dishonor Satan all the time.

Those living the victorious life are seeking eternal pleasures.

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

One way of conquering your enemies is to have knowledge of their weakness. All creations have their peculiar weaknesses. Your enemy is one who also know your weakness. Your enemy is one who is against your spiritual and physical progress. Satanic forces on their own are against every man/woman spiritual progress, freedom from their captivity and sin and when they inhabit a human body they work against physical progress.
Every man's/woman's weakness is love of the world( any achievement that gives honor in the society). In this is every man's/woman's fallout from godliness rooted. 1 Timothy 6:6 says "But godliness and contentment is great gain" to affirm one must be contend in worldliness in whatever situation one finds himself/herself before godliness can stand. If you are not contended it implies you are not spiritually matured and you love the world.
Once godliness is standing enemies are weakened and only the matured are godly. Godliness weakens your enemies ,their leadings is cut off, their traps is escaped, their weapons can not prosper.
Who is he/she that is wise but he/she that knows where his/her weakness is rooted and also knows what can cause the weakness of his/her enemies. Reason wisdom is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7 ).
If you know how to resist your enemies then you know how to bring them down you. And because you know how to bring them down always then you can no longer fear them. If you no longer fear them then you can know how to love them. If you know how to love them then you will live in peace with them. If you live in peace with them then you are living in peace. If you are living in peace then you do not have enemies anymore, they are conquered. A conquered enemy in other words is and remained harmless. Proverbs16:7 "When a man's way pleases the Lord He will make his enemy be at peace with him". Only godliness can please God.
So to tag satanic forces (both spiritual and human) as enemies is an honor to them, an attestation to your fears of their powers. Fear is worship. Reason only God should be feared. Fear of losses is worship of vanities. Fear of Satan is worship.
No one fears a conquered , harmless enemy.
1 John 3:8, Hebrews 2:14-15 both attested the destruction of your enemies. If indeed you believe your enemies had been destroyed then you can obey the commandment in
Matthew 5:44 which says love your enemies because they are now harmless.
1 John 4:18 says no fear in love for fear has torment. If you fear you have not loved God and enemies.
Note that loving your enemies is not becoming a sinner like them but showing them , proving to them the holiness and supremacy of God and seeking their salvation (with the exception of the fallen angels who can not receive salvation).

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live without the fear of enemies.

Those living the victorious life are growing in the love for enemies.

Fear of evil,Satan,satanic forces is the evidence of absence of the living power of Jesus' work, His death and resurrection in the heart of a man or woman. It is clear God did not give Adam and Eve the spirit of fear because they are gods on earth. They did not fear God because they had not sinned ,had not known the wrath of God. They did not fear Satan because their spirits had not been condemned to the kingdom of darkness/Death.
The spirit God has given you is that of power, love and of a sound mind. You can see this in 2Timothy 1:7. But the spirit Sin gave you through the body of Satan is the spirit of fear of satanic forces, hatred for God and others and an unsound mind towards the ways of God. And it was for this spirit Jesus came forth to destroy as done in 1 John 3:8 which says "He that sins is of the devil and for this reason the Son of Man came forth to destroy the works of the devil which is; the spirit making us to sin". (Paraphrased)
The spirit making you to sin lives inside of you reason Jesus/Holy Spirit/Word of Life/ is knocking the door of your heart to be allowed in to destroy that spirit. So it is left to you to open your heart to receive Word of Life, to believe and to obey so your spirit of sin can be destroyed. This action to be taken by you is written for you to know its relevance to your deliverance from that spirit of sin.
John 1:12 " To has many that believed in Word of Life to them He gave power to live sinless as their heavenly Father'.( paraphrased).
In destroying the works of the devil Jesus left no work undestroyed. All the legion of spirit of sin in you was destroyed.
"Work out your destroying of the spirit of sin with the trembling and fear of not desiring to go back into them through your love for the world". Philippians 2:12(paraphrased)
Only those who are destroying the spirit of sin in them are called sons/ daughters of God.
Note the sin in you today and deal with it asking help from The Helper.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live sinless!

Those living the victorious life are destroying the spirit of sin in them daily.

Power is a force and the ability to create, move or change things. By power was the heavens , earth and everything in them created for what was seen was created by what cannot be seen. Hebrews 11:3 tells us its the Word of God that created everything and spoken words can not be seen. Since by power was the world created so also will it be by power that things will happen in it. Nothing happens without a power behind it, every action or inaction. Narrowing this to mankind , to move or change both man/woman and things positively with the beatitudes and gifts of Holy Spirit or negatively with 'gifts' of evil spirits requires power.
To be a follower of God in living, you need power to overpower the evils in each day as in
Matthew 6:34 '... sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof'.
It is evil to be tempted, cheated, mocked, castigated, lied against, embarrassed, denied rights etc if you must overpower, you must have the power like Paul had in Romans 8:35-39.'What shall separate me from the Truth I have known about Jesus? Is it vanity death, love for the world? I am convinced nothing in this world is worth losing Jesus for.(paraphrased)
God's power is the Word also called Truth reason 'ye shall know the Truth and It shall set you free'. John 8:32
Whenever evil overpowers you, by making you to do evil, its because you have not known the Truth. Paul a man of like passion knew the Truth that doing good overpowers evil done. Romans 12:21."...but overcome evil with good ".
He knew the Truth after he practised (obeyed) it and saw the outcome of how doing good turned evil minds, defeated evil,caused breakthrough, brought joy and James another witness wrote about these blessings in doing the Truth in James 1:25(KJV) "...but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed". You should realize from this text the work of your hands God will bless forever is the Truth you do in your secular job.
Love for the world makes you to be overpowered by evil to make you to steal, lust, hate, fear etc. And love for heaven makes you to overpower evil to be able to be faithful, love, bold etc.
Are you changing evil minds by good works(e.g forgiving and loving friends,strangers and enemies)?
Or are you becoming evil by returning evil for evil (e.g hating your enemies, revenging)?

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to overpower the evils thereof in each day.

Those living the victorious life are overpowering all evils in each day.

Colossians 2:11 " In whom ye also are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins in the flesh by the circumcision of Christ".
Its not only the spirit/ soul of Man that needs to be renewed, the body also needs to be renewed. 1 John 2:16 exposed the lusts which exists in the body reason it must be put off. " the spirits of lust of the eyes and flesh..." Circumcision is a surgical removal of the foreskin in males which is painful so is undergoing the circumcision of the whole body of sin reason most people can not follow Christ, can not bear their cross, still looking back with their hands on the plough. Because of these attitudes Jesus says they are not worthy of the glory ahead in Matthew 10 :37-38.
This body of sins can not be managed or tamed but must be killed or destroyed. Romans 8:13 says if we live through the body of sins then we shall surely die (eternally) but if we mortify (kill) it by living through the spirit then we shall live (eternally). Putting the body under subjection to spirit is living by the written or oral Word of God.
1 Corinthians 6:16 gives further reason we should kill the flesh of sins, says he/she that is joined to an harlot has become one with her/him. When we are sinning we are joining our bodies with Satan/ demons reason demons can possess the body.
Ephesians 5:30 says if we kill the body of sins we will then be joined back to the body and bones of Christ.
The love of the world makes circumcision of the body of sins impossible reason the first commandment is to love God with all our hearts, soul and mind to destroy body of sins and simultaneously build the body of holiness. Matthew 22:37
Are you joining your body with God or with satan?

With God all things are possible so its possible to be joining your body daily with Jesus.

Those living the victorious life are separating their bodies from Satan.

It is a common prayer in today's Churches to pray for money to be able to do the so called work of God. This so called work of God is in the physical terms though it is of eternal benefit to the doer only if it is done with a pure/ selfless motive. Considering the words of Matthew 6: 24 and 32 "We can not love two masters at same time and its the unbelievers who seek after worldliness because they do not believe God knows they need them".(paraphrased). Praying for money is a trap to be entangled in love of money unknowingly. Now, the question is does God needs money to do works in the Church? The answer is yes and reason been the growing in the love of money in the hearts of men. What God gave man/woman free of charge, man/ woman is charging God for it.
The genesis of this been the coming of sin into man/woman. Money would have had no place in this world much less the so called work of God. The only thing God gave man/woman to sustain himself/herself in the world He created for him is His breathe of life, a living soul. Man/woman has continually degenerated to the level of existing on money that it is used to categorize him/her, as very good, good, fair or bad. The rich are considered very good, the average to be fair and the poor to be bad in the world. Jesus did change this by telling us its is difficult for the rich to enter kingdom of God and the poor widow given the greatest offering amongst the rich. Lots of souls had been killed or committed suicide based on continuation of existence.
A man/woman is only good as long as he/she is filled by the Spirit of God that makes him/her live like God. Its not the abundance or lack of money that empower you to live like God according to Luke 12:15."...beware of covetousness for a man's life is not in the abundance of things his possession ".
The Church has fallen deceitfully into covetousness under the pretence of showing evidence of God's presence and doing God's work. Do not pray for money but pray for infilling of eternal life that will make God delight in you and release money He has for you this is seeking first kingdom of God and its righteousness.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to base your existence only on God and not on God and money or money alone.
Set yourself free from the demon of love of money.

Those living the victorious life are basing their existence only on God.

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

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

Looking further into our study on the place of money in relation to our living as we had been discussing for some weeks. Money gradually gained prominence because of the power it gave those who had it to do and undo in the society. It had made kings who had it to win wars and kings who do not have it to loose wars. It had made common men to dine with royals or even become kings. This is just to mention a few. Men/women loves money because of the prominence it gives including religious sphere reason glory is given to money first before God, or both money and God share the glory. In Isaiah 42:8 " I am the Lord that is my name and My glory I will not give to another, neither My praise to graven images ".
What money can do is what is mostly seen in Churches nowadays. The manifestations of the power of money is far more seen than the manifestations of power of God in salvation, healings, casting out of demons, spiritual gifts. People are thirsty for God even after attending Church services and are not getting their real(spiritual) thirst quenched.
James 3:9-12 " we can not use our tongues to bless God and also use it to curse others because a heart can not contain but blessings and curses".(paraphrased). Same way we can not give glory to God and money with same heart.
John wrote 3 John about how Gaius gained prominence by his giving to the missionaries and through it, they did not have to look unto the unbelievers for help. Are today's offerings used to propagate salvation or to maintain the Church organization(Pastorates) and edifice? Because maintaining the Pastorates of the Church is of greater priority than salvation, preaching is centred deceptively on giving glory to money. When the Pastorates disdain, have little to no regard in their disposition to those who are not 'deep pockets' despite their spiritual gifts, its a sign of giving glory to God and money. James 2:3 captions this and is a warning to the Pastorates that does such.
Glory is deceptively given to money first under the guise of it is the 'bicycle' of the gospel. Now those who give glory to money now calls it the 'jeep,jet' for the gospel. Reason motivation speakers are filling the pulpits. There is no gospel without the power of Holy Spirit.
Another deception of giving glory to money is in Ecclesiastes 10:19 " A feast is made for laughter and wine maketh merry; but money answers all things ".
The answer of money is always no to where God's power is absence. And where there is absence of money but presence of God's power, yes will be the answer. Giving glory to God only when the season is good is a sign of sharing God's glory with money. And not giving glory to God when the season is bad is a sign of giving glory to money reason 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says its the will of God for those who are in Jesus to give thanks always.
Showing off of material achievements( clothes, shoes,cars,wife,husband, children etc) rather than fruits of Spirit is a sign of giving glory to money.
As satan quoted scriptures with intention to deceive Jesus, he still does it to man/woman.
Be warned: When facing challenges the deception of satan with money is a strong weapon and also is God's refining fire.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to give only God the glory and not share it with money.

Those living the victorious life are giving glory only to God.

Repent today!
Accept Jesus/The Word you read or hear today and be saved.

Prayer point: Dear Holy Spirit please help me to always give only God the glory.

In concluding the study on the place of God and money in our living and worship , today we will study the influence of money in following God's direction or visions for our lives.
Money if seen as a master and empowerment can make man/woman do as they pleased or do as the satanic life in them pleases. God has visions for every life but with the power of money in the hands of a satanic life Godly visions will be abandoned reason God has to train and discipline those He want to put riches in their hands for His vision. The sufferings of the righteous on the issue of money is to kill the passion the natural man/woman has for money. Judas Iscariot did not surrender his passion for money to be killed under the discipleship of Jesus, which was designed to kill it, reason he followed the satanic vision. So does every man/woman who refuses to surrender his/her carnal mind to be killed by following the leading of Holy Spirit will be led by satanic/evil spirits of lust of eyes, flesh and pride to fulfill the satanic vision. 1 John 2:16 says all these spirits are not of God.
The Church as one body has a vision to be driven by different members of the body. If the genuine members gave chance to the masterly of money the vision for the Church will suffer set back. Churches today has veered off the main components, the weighty parts, of the vision and are concerned about lighter parts. Jesus pointed this out to the Pharisees in Matthew 23:23 " Woe unto you who has considered money has the weightier issue and message of righteousness(in appearance also),punishment, repentance, dependence on God { paraphrased}.
Because of the Pharisees major concerns on money and minor concerns on the well being of souls, they missed the vision of God for the synagogue same way today's 'Pharisees' /leaders had missed the vision for the Church and the reason their ministries are too light to withstand, tackle or bear the oppositions of satan. Churches embarks on some projects and programs that are ungodly visions due to the power of money. The availability of money can lead us to embarking on ungodly visions for our individual lives.
There is a way that seems right that will require money to get to the destruction at the end of the way.(paraphrased) Proverbs 14:12. Lots of souls had been destroyed by the empowerment of money.
The availability of money is the root of financing all evils(paraphrased).
1 Timothy 6:10.
It is difficult to walk on the narrow road with riches(paraphrased) Luke 18: 24.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you not to lose Godly visions for your life with the money at hand.

Those living the victorious life have mastered money and are focused on Godly visions.

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

Prayer point: Holy Spirit help me to defeat the lordship of money over my soul to focus on Godly visions.

To be able to be called a child of God or be a member of family of God you must be to walk in His will always. But if you do not know His will for you how can you walk in it? And if you are not transformed you can not know His will, so knowing God's will and walking in it starts from transforming. Transforming is the process of killing the evil spirits of lust of the eyes, flesh and pride of life that drives people to sin. The killing is done by believing and acting on the Word of Life reason man can not live by bread alone but by *every* Word of Life you can eat to kill every word of Death satan sows in the sin nature of man everyday, every hour every minute.
These evil spirits does not know God's will so can not walk in it since they already know and walking in Sin's will.
If the blessings of being a doer of the Word of Life is only seen in the context of vanity blessings as been mostly preached, then your salvation is in danger else Paul would not have said ' that if its only in this world you have hope even in Christ then you are the most miserable man/woman'.(paraphrased) -
1 Corinthians 15:9. The blessings of being a doer of the Word of Life is killing the evil spirits in man just as same way the curses of being a doer of word of Death is killing the good spirits in man as it was with Adam and Eve how they invoked also spiritual curses along with vanity curses when they became a doer of word from serpent. And also as the curses incurred on man by Adam remained in man till the world will be no more (and hell begins) so will the blessings of being a doer of Word of Life be with man till the world will be no more (and Paradise begins).
Only good spirits ( fruits of Spirit) can know and walk in the will of God reason you should be filled with them and not with wine as seen in Ephesians 5:18.
So brethren and sisters if you do not know the will of God for your life reason is you are not filling yourself with good spirits, not killing evil spirits in you and not working out your salvation with trembling and fear of the curses sin can do to you.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to know and walk in the will of God for your life.

Those living the victorious life are killing evil spirits in them.

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

Prayer point: Holy Spirit make Your abode in me to drive out every evil spirits of lust, hate, fear etc

Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God-- Deuteronomy 8:3 , Luke 4:4
These words came out of the mouths of the two most meekest men that once lived on earth. To be meek means you are teachable. To be teachable means you believe and accept the Word to be above you. To believe and accept the Word to be above you means you believe and accept the Word to be God. For the Bible says in the beginning is the Word...and the Word is God--- John 1:1.
If you are not living by every word of God then you are living by some words from satan. For examples : the Word of God says love your enemy and rejoice always but you hate your enemy and sorrow when things go wrong then you are still living by some words from satan.
If you do not know that Bible is the place where you can seek God then its because the Word is not a God to you yet. And if so then you have not believe the Word is above you and you are not meek. If you are not meek which is one of the fruits of Spirit means you are not walking in the Spirit of light but walking in the spirit of darkness.
As earthly father teaches his son/daughter through words so he can become like him. So does heavenly Father teaches His son/daughter through Words to be like Him. And the first readily available place where you can get the Words of your Father is the Bible.
The Bible is not an ordinary book. If its an ordinary book to you then its because you are living an ordinary life.
Bible is the source of Life that is awaiting you to tap into it.
If you want to live a higher spiritual life the Bible is your guide.
The Bible is the only book that has words that can form Christ in you. Galatians 4:19- " ...until Christ be formed in you".
As you begin to walk in the light , darkness will automatically be dispelled from you.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to know the Word is God and is above you.

Those living the victorious life are forming Jesus in them through the Word.

Prayer point: Always pray for the grace to read your Bible and to do it. ( since only those that do it will be blessed--- James 1:25).

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

As continued from last week, God wants us to live in love always with ourselves in the same household of faith, those of different faith , sinners and also enemies. God is love and His love for sinners is based on their repentance not that He loves their sinful ways. His love for sinners made part of Him, also called The Son, to come and die for sinners to repent. His love for sinners made Him to become poor { *2 Corinthians 8:9 "...He became poor so you through His poverty might become rich."}* and brought pain and sorrow upon His body and soul { *Isaiah 53:3-5 "...He bore our sorrows and griefs...wounded for our iniquities... }*
The only reason God's love is willing to bear with you is because He wants you to give up your old life and receive His own life so you will not sin anymore " Whatever is born of God does not commit sin for His seed(life) remains (lives always through him/her)...so he/she can not sin..." 1 John 3:9. If you can sin its because the seed of devil still remains in you.
The love for vanities is the root of all evil but the love for eternities is the root of all goodness. If you hate or jealous your neighbour, its rooted in your love for vanities. You can not hate or jealous your neighbour( husband, wife, boss etc.) and be in a good relationship with God so says 1 John 4:7-13.
The reason you must endeavour to continue to always live in love is the knowledge that all things about vanities life ( good or bad ) always work together for your good ( your spiritual growth). So your joy (which is your strength) should no longer be in vanities progress but in your spiritual progress. When you are always rejoicing you will always have the strength to love and to grow.
Agape love is unconditional because its not rooted in vanities things such as beauty, morality, wealth, skillfulness, skin color etc but in saving and upholding a soul.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to always live in love in good and bad times.

Those living the victorious life are growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Prayer point: Dear Holy Spirit fill me with Your Spirit of love.

A saying goes thus; "A friend in need is a friend indeed ". It is the actions done unto us that shows who a friend is and who is an enemy. Acts of goodness can only come from a friend and acts of evil or destruction only comes from enemy. If a man lives in sin, (loves the world) he will make those helping him to destroy his glorious destiny friends and make those seeking to deliver him from sin/ bondage, enemies. A saying also goes thus: "show me your friend and I will tell you who you are".
If a sinner is in need of committing more sins he/she will have a friend who will meet his/ her need and if a saint is in need of more righteousness he/she will have a friend who will meet his/her needs. The concept of who is a friend or enemy is based on the benefits accrued from the relationship. The term 'friend' should be used to denote someone who makes you to progress spiritually and an enemy someone who makes you to retrogress spiritually. Jesus hailed Peter as a friend when his acts progressed Jesus spiritually but when his acts were retrogressive to Jesus spiritually he was called Satan, denoting him as an enemy in Matthew 16:18-19,23 because his acts were retrogressive to the spiritual progress of Jesus. The reason Jesus commanded us to love our enemies is because they make us to progress spiritually.
If a man/woman does not know his/ her 'spiritual' friend he/she is not progressing spiritually or working out his/her salvation. The 'enemy' that pursued you to make you enter a greater height in the physical realm will be considered a friend so also is an enemy pursuing you to enter a greater height in the spiritual realm should be considered a friend.
Satan is a spiritual enemy to sinners to destroy them and a spiritual friend to those working out salvation reason God has not taken him out of existence as we all ignorantly wished. Joseph worked out his salvation from the works of Satan his brothers did to him.
Jesus is a spiritual friend to sinners to save them.
Romans 5:8 " God commanded love towards us in that while we are yet sinners Christ died for us".
An enemy of God is one who is not growing spiritually and does not want others to also grow spiritually. So a preacher/teacher who does not preach repentance and growing in the fruits of Spirit, does not correct in love, does not endure his/her fellow brothers or sisters etc though signs and wonders follow them, is an enemy of God. Matthew 7:21 and Revelation 13:13 talks about enemies of God working wonders. And talks about the possibility of the elect been deceived by wonders in Mark 13:22.
Your friend is not the one who works wonders to only solve your worldly needs but he/she who also establishes you in Jesus.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to work out your salvation from the works of Satan.

Those celebrating Jesus are spiritual friend to believers and sinners.

Prayer point: Holy Spirit cleanse me from all evil spirits of love for the world so I can work out my salvation from all good and bad works done unto me.

When Adam and Eve became destitute by the reason of leaving God's presence, the first and only priority of God is to return mankind into His presence. For this reason He left His glorious status, lifestyle and abode and came in the flesh of man. If the destitute state of mankind was not important, God would not go through all He went through to restore mankind from wretchedness to glory that was caused by sin.
So sin is the only priority of God in the life of mankind. With sin no mankind will be allowed in heaven neither see God. Hebrews 12:14" ...and holiness without which no man shall see God ". But God wants you to be in heaven and see Him reason you must make dealing with sin your only priority as long as you live on earth.
Dealing with sin is firstly dealing with your love for money/vanities as this is the root of all evils. Cain killed Abel not for the love of money but for the vanity of been the elder son, he should be accepted first. David indirectly committed murder not for the love of money but for the vanity of sex. You can see that your love for the world makes you do things as an enemy of God.
James 4:4" ...a friend of the world is an enemy of God ".
When your love for eternal things grows in you it will displace love of vanities.
Dealing with sin is secondly dealing with the evil spirits of lust of the eyes , flesh and pride of life that abides deep in the thoughts of mankind. All evil thoughts from these evil spirits had to be taken captive and conformed to good thoughts as it is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 " Though you live in the world of vanities but you do not wage war by using vanities but using love, joy , faith, hope, prayer , praise, fasting etc where appropriate to demolish sinful life so you can live like Christ ".(paraphrased). There is always a force, a power from spirits behind every acts reason by the kind of fruits you bear, the kind of spirit using you is exposed.
Dealing with sin is thirdly conforming your thoughts down to your actions to the standard of Christ. You must be ready to act as the salt, shine as the light ,stand for Christ in conversations and behaviors. Doing this will surely weaken to death all evil spirits that once rule and use your flesh against God and this is the blessings of being a doer of the Word. James 1:25 "...not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it- they will be blessed in what they do".
If you make gaining vanities your first and only priority you will hate, jealous, fear,covet etc. and you can never be saved.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to make sin your only priority.
Those celebrating Jesus are dealing with sin everyday.
Accept Jesus /The Word you hear or read today and be saved.

Prayer point : My Father send into me the Word of Truth that will drive out every love of vanities from me.

The world where Man fell into after the disobedience in Eden is one driven by ambitions in vanities and reason Man was subjected to work hard before he/she can survive and live comfortably. Education was designed to make Man have an ambition so he/she can work to gain vanities for survival and comfortable life.
The rich young ruler in Luke 18 went to Jesus as someone in hot pursuit of eternal ambition but by the time he left his hot pursuit of eternal ambition was dampened by his vanities ambitions and Jesus passed a word of knowledge to everyone from his action; Luke 18: 22-27:" How difficult is it for the rich to enter heaven and salvation is only possible with God".(paraphrased).
So are lots of Christians today whose eternal ambition had been dampened by their vanities ambitions. They are ambitious to be the best in business, professions, talents etc but not ambitious to be the best in telling others about Christ, loving the unloving, rejoicing in challenges, etc to save the lost souls. The lost can not save the lost, only the saved can save the lost. So if your lifestyle as a whole is not preaching the gospel of love , peace and joy in words and deeds, then you are a lost soul that is close to entering heaven but never did like the foolish virgins who also dampened their eternal ambition through their vanities ambitions.
Matthew 16:6-12. Jesus warned the disciples to be careful of the leaven/doctrines/teachings of the Pharisees .He is still warning you of the dampened or leavened or diluted gospel of General Overseers , Arc- Bishops, Apostles and whatever titles that are in use.
*Leaven means to make a situation more interesting or cheerful.* Are most of the custodial of gospel not leavening the gospel with vanities ambitions?
Peter and Paul also warned you not to be entangled with vanities ambitions so you can remain sharp as a soldier in your eternal ambition. 2 Peter 2:20, Galatians 5:1 and 2 Timothy 2:4.
With God all things are possible, so it is possible for your eternal ambition not to be dampened by vanities ambitions.
Those celebrating Jesus are losing focus of all vanities ambitions daily.

Daily Prayer point: Holy Spirit cleanse me from all evil spirits of love for the world that is making me to lose focus of eternal ambition gradually.

Lack , suffering came into action because of sin which had made living difficult for mankind since they are not designed to experience such difficulties. This has formed the mindset in a man that having vanities will alleviate his/her sufferings since its lack of it that causes sufferings. So there is a desperate need and search for an helper to help with the vanities he/she needs.
The Israelites in the wilderness suffered from lack which revealed the kinds of spirits in them in the way they relate with the God who saved them from the suffering of slavery in Egypt. It is the existence of these evil spirits in them God was after cause He wants to make them sons and daughters because His promises are not for children of devil and the reason those who refused to be transformed from children of devil to children of God died without the promise. Idols are worshiped basically for provision of vanities. The Israelites in wilderness also wanted to worshiped God for same reasons and just like the Israelites, the Christians today had been given the name of Jesus which they want to use only or majorly for the provisions of vanities. They are more passionate for living vanities life than living or becoming like Jesus. Some have abandoned their Christian faith for other religious faith because of their unfulfilled vanities life. Some are mixing their Christian faith with other religious faith for same reasons.
John 15:16 "You have not chosen Me but I have chosen you and ordained you not for vanities gain but to change sinners to saints, and if you are doing this, whatsoever provisions you need to achieve this will be done when you ask in My name." (Paraphrased).
Are you worshipping God for vanities gains or eternal gains?
With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to stop living for vanities gain but for Jesus' gain.
Those celebrating Jesus are driving out evil spirits and taking in spirits of God so they can joint heirs with Christ. The fruits of the Spirit are the spirits you need to have in you to become a joint heir.

Prayer point: My Lord drive out all spirits of the world in me that is making me worship You for vanities gain.

God wants us to live in peace always reason He has given us power to domain the earth. Peace is an evidence that one as conquered the enemies. Solomon lived in the peace David his father fought for throughout his own reign. So had Jesus fought and conquered all enemies (both inside and outside) so we can live in peace. John 14:27, 16:33 "Peace I have give unto you not as the world ( power of evil or money) gives and be of good cheer in your tribulations, when enemies are attacking you, for I have conquered these enemies "(paraphrased).
Our yet to be transformed nature will cause us to have tribulations either to cleanse us or to test the new transformed nature in us. If our believe is growing in Jesus then we will continue to grow in power to trample over enemies within us such as lusts, fear etc and enemies outside of us. The enemies within must first be conquered before enemies outside are conquered. John 1:12 and Luke 10:19 says that if we believe in Him He will give us power to trample over enemies and these were written so we can know its true cause whatever is written down has already taken place.
Its not up to Jesus to give you peace but up to you to believe in Jesus to receive the power to live the victorious life of peace.
If you still believe in the peace the world gives through charms or money then you can not live in the peace always that is in Jesus. The will of God in Jesus is for you to always live in peace.
Anytime you lose your peace or worries finds a place in you, it is either you examine yourself if you are still in the faith( still holding unto the truth) or you still have unconquered grounds that require you to grow up to be able to conquer.
2 Corinthians 13:5 " examine yourself if you are still in the faith to prove Christ is in you if you are not a reprobate( morally corrupt)" (paraphrased).

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to always trample on enemies.

Those living in peace always are living the victorious life.

Prayer point: Dear Holy Spirit, empower me with more spiritual insight to be able to live in peace always.

The fall in Eden made Man to be condemned because Man can no longer live right by reason of his/ her mind been changed to oppose godly living and uphold ungodly living. The love for the things of this world is an ungodly living from an ungodly mind. An ungodly mind base prosperity on acquiring the things of this world reason highly placed people in secular and religious circles are mostly corrupt and sermons is centered on it. Ungodly mind will do crooked things with their bodies like telling lies, prostitute , steal , cheat , kill etc to prosper(survive). It is an ungodly mind that will rejoice or sorrow over things of this world thereby living an unstable , confused, frustrated , 'Christian' life. Its an ungodly mind that is lukewarm.
Now there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit - Romans 8:1. To walk like Christ walked my mind must be renewed daily and gradually to have the mind of Jesus. Romans 12:2 and Philippians 2:5. Living like Christ is not impossible or optional as ungodly mind believes cos devil has filled it with lies.
Renewing the mind is walking in the truth daily and this requires efforts and determination to break the ungodly mind and to guard the renewed mind from the wiles of satan which is aimed at using things of this world to attack , shake the mind.
Proverbs 4:23 (Amplified version) " Keep and guard your heart with all diligence , against the love for things of this world, for out of it comes your attitudes(how you treat others), characters, living standard, ( paraphrased).
Mark 4: 16-19 narrates how satan can use the things of world to make me become offended and to choke my mind.
If I am not in the act of renewing my mind daily it means I am not living the victorious life and my focus is on things of this world not things of heaven.
Renewing is another term for fighting or resisting the temptations, ways, advice of devils of pride, mocking, jealous, hate, etc.
My mind belongs to me so I will be responsible for its way of life. If its good its me not Jesus but the credit goes to Him. If its bad its me not devil but the credit goes to him.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be renewing my mind daily.

Those living the victorious life are renewing their minds daily.

Prayer point for the week: Sweet Holy Spirit help me renew my mind daily by revealing the truth about living the victorious life to me.

Religious activities should not be seen as the activities done in the Church circle alone. Religion is a way of life or living like God. From dictionary: Religion is defined as a particular system of belief in divine beings and the activities connected to this system.
Religion has to do with belief. If your beliefs is rooted in the systems of worldliness then you worship the 'god of worldliness' and your way of life will be sinful/satanic though you may be an active member of a Church. Vanities are only a means God uses to change man/woman into His likeness. And if your beliefs is rooted in the systems of eternity things then you worship the God of eternal things and your way of life will be Godly.
It is the totality of your way of life that is your religion. If living in the love, joy, etc of God is your way of life then there can be no variance in the way you live at home, work and Church. There is no variance in love, joy, hope, peace etc. Love your neighbours and enemies means there is no neighbour and enemies to be hated for you to like God otherwise you live a variant life. God's religion is love. Matthew 22:37-39, 5:44
Rejoice evermore means there is nothing in the world of vanities that will cause you ungodly sorrow because ungodly sorrow leads to sin. Joy gives strength not to commit sin and sorrow causes loss of strength to commit sin. If you have worldly sorrow, you live a variant life. God's religion is joy. Philippians 4:4
Pursue peace cause it will guarantee spiritual stability. Losing peace is a strategy of satan to make his second attack effective. Those who live in the world of vanities can not live in the peace of God that the Prince of Peace came to give and so they will be unstable in love, joy etc. If you worry you live a variant life. God's religion is peace. Hebrews 12:14.
Living a variant life is one of sins mentioned in Galatians 5:20.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live like God.

Those living the victorious life are practising the religion of God.

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

Prayer point: Holy Spirit my helper, help me to believe in eternity things so I can be rooted in heaven.

Proverbs 24:10 "If you fail in the day of adversity , your strength is small".
The life of God is a life that can never fail/ fall into sin when vanities life becomes unpleasant or hard, Its only the satanic kind of life that fails/fall into sin. Strength comes from life. The strength to live holy in all situations comes from life of God in you and the strength to live in sin in hard situations comes from satanic kind of life in you. Sinning is evidence of weakness reason God never sin and remained strong, in power forever. Satan always sin reason he is weak in overturning God's will. Though he is strong in sin so he uses it to overturn God's will by pushing a soul into sin as seen in ;
Revelation 2:14 "....Balaam who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit formication".
Here we can see how God's will for Israelites was overturned by Satan.
Satan is weak, can do nothing to those who live in holiness in other words satanic works does not exist in the lives of those who live in holiness since he is weak.
The love for the world (vanities) is the root of all sin. Love is a strong bond reason sin is difficult to let go. It is this love that gives strength to make the soul to disobey God, to be at enmity with God.
The stronger you are in vanities life the weaker you will be in living eternal life/ the God kind of life.
You have much strength in vanities life when you cheat , lie , pride, hate, curse, jealous, lusts, covet, etc. You can not have these in you and not know and they are the enemies of your eternal destiny you must kill for satan to also become weak, non-existing to you.
Your strength is much when you live in love, joy, peace, faith, hope etc in all situations and your strength is small when you live in hate, sorrow, worry,doubt, etc in hard vanities' time.
Are you allowing satan to overturn God's will for your life by deceiving you into sin?
Hell is full of those who through love for the world allowed satan to overturn God's will for their lives.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you not to fail in days of adversity.

Those living the victorious life are growing in strength every day and are not allowing satan overturn God's will.

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

Prayer point: Holy Spirit my helper, please help me grow in eternal life so I can have strength to overcome love for the world.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

Religious activities should not be seen as the activities done in the Church circle alone. Religion is a way of life or living like God. From dictionary: Religion is defined as a particular system of belief in divine beings and the activities connected to this system.
Religion has to do with belief. If your beliefs is rooted in the systems of worldliness then you worship the 'god of worldliness' and your way of life will be sinful/satanic though you may be an active member of a Church. Vanities are only a means God uses to change man/woman into His likeness. And if your beliefs is rooted in the systems of eternity things then you worship the God of eternal things and your way of life will be Godly.
It is the totality of your way of life that is your religion. If living in the love, joy, etc of God is your way of life then there can be no variance in the way you live at home, work and Church. There is no variance in love, joy, hope, peace etc. Love your neighbours and enemies means there is no neighbour and enemies to be hated for you to like God otherwise you live a variant life. God's religion is love. Matthew 22:37-39, 5:44
Rejoice evermore means there is nothing in the world of vanities that will cause you ungodly sorrow because ungodly sorrow leads to sin. Joy gives strength not to commit sin and sorrow causes loss of strength to commit sin. If you have worldly sorrow, you live a variant life. God's religion is joy. Philippians 4:4
Pursue peace cause it will guarantee spiritual stability. Losing peace is a strategy of satan to make his second attack effective. Those who live in the world of vanities can not live in the peace of God that the Prince of Peace came to give and so they will be unstable in love, joy etc. If you worry you live a variant life. God's religion is peace. Hebrews 12:14.
Living a variant life is one of sins mentioned in Galatians 5:20.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to live like God.

Those living the victorious life are practising the religion of God.

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

Prayer point: Holy Spirit my helper, help me to believe in eternity things so I can be rooted in heaven.

Live a spiritually blessed week.

The fall in Eden made Man to be condemned because Man can no longer live right by reason of his/ her mind been changed to oppose godly living and uphold ungodly living. The love for the things of this world is an ungodly living from an ungodly mind. An ungodly mind base prosperity on acquiring the things of this world reason highly placed people in secular and religious circles are mostly corrupt and sermons is centered on it. Ungodly mind will do crooked things with their bodies like telling lies, prostitute , steal , cheat , kill etc to prosper(survive). It is an ungodly mind that will rejoice or sorrow over things of this world thereby living an unstable , confused, frustrated , 'Christian' life. Its an ungodly mind that is lukewarm.
Now there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit - Romans 8:1. To walk like Christ walked my mind must be renewed daily and gradually to have the mind of Jesus. Romans 12:2 and Philippians 2:5. Living like Christ is not impossible or optional as ungodly mind believes cos devil has filled it with lies.
Renewing the mind is walking in the truth daily and this requires efforts and determination to break the ungodly mind and to guard the renewed mind from the wiles of satan which is aimed at using things of this world to attack , shake the mind.
Proverbs 4:23 (Amplified version) " Keep and guard your heart with all diligence , against the love for things of this world, for out of it comes your attitudes(how you treat others), characters, living standard, ( paraphrased).
Mark 4: 16-19 narrates how satan can use the things of world to make me become offended and to choke my mind.
If I am not in the act of renewing my mind daily it means I am not living the victorious life and my focus is on things of this world not things of heaven.
Renewing is another term for fighting or resisting the temptations, ways, advice of devils of pride, mocking, jealous, hate, etc.
My mind belongs to me so I will be responsible for its way of life. If its good its me not Jesus but the credit goes to Him. If its bad its me not devil but the credit goes to him.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to be renewing my mind daily.

Those living the victorious life are renewing their minds daily.

Prayer point for the week: Sweet Holy Spirit help me renew my mind daily by revealing the truth about living the victorious life to me.

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

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

God wants us to live in peace always reason He has given us power to domain the earth. Peace is an evidence that one as conquered the enemies. Solomon lived in the peace David his father fought for throughout his own reign. So had Jesus fought and conquered all enemies (both inside and outside) so we can live in peace. John 14:27, 16:33 "Peace I have give unto you not as the world ( power of evil or money) gives and be of good cheer in your tribulations, when enemies are attacking you, for I have conquered these enemies "(paraphrased).
Our yet to be transformed nature will cause us to have tribulations either to cleanse us or to test the new transformed nature in us. If our believe is growing in Jesus then we will continue to grow in power to trample over enemies within us such as lusts, fear etc and enemies outside of us. The enemies within must first be conquered before enemies outside are conquered. John 1:12 and Luke 10:19 says that if we believe in Him He will give us power to trample over enemies and these were written so we can know its true cause whatever is written down has already taken place.
Its not up to Jesus to give you peace but up to you to believe in Jesus to receive the power to live the victorious life of peace.
If you still believe in the peace the world gives through charms or money then you can not live in the peace always that is in Jesus. The will of God in Jesus is for you to always live in peace.
Anytime you lose your peace or worries finds a place in you, it is either you examine yourself if you are still in the faith( still holding unto the truth) or you still have unconquered grounds that require you to grow up to be able to conquer.
2 Corinthians 13:5 " examine yourself if you are still in the faith to prove Christ is in you if you are not a reprobate( morally corrupt)" (paraphrased).

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to always trample on enemies.

Those living in peace always are living the victorious life.

Prayer point: Dear Holy Spirit, empower me with more spiritual insight to be able to live in peace always.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

Lack , suffering came into action because of sin which had made living difficult for mankind since they are not designed to experience such difficulties. This has formed the mindset in a man that having vanities will alleviate his/her sufferings since its lack of it that causes sufferings. So there is a desperate need and search for an helper to help with the vanities he/she needs.
The Israelites in the wilderness suffered from lack which revealed the kinds of spirits in them in the way they relate with the God who saved them from the suffering of slavery in Egypt. It is the existence of these evil spirits in them God was after cause He wants to make them sons and daughters because His promises are not for children of devil and the reason those who refused to be transformed from children of devil to children of God died without the promise. Idols are worshiped basically for provision of vanities. The Israelites in wilderness also wanted to worshiped God for same reasons and just like the Israelites, the Christians today had been given the name of Jesus which they want to use only or majorly for the provisions of vanities. They are more passionate for living vanities life than living or becoming like Jesus. Some have abandoned their Christian faith for other religious faith because of their unfulfilled vanities life. Some are mixing their Christian faith with other religious faith for same reasons.
John 15:16 "You have not chosen Me but I have chosen you and ordained you not for vanities gain but to change sinners to saints, and if you are doing this, whatsoever provisions you need to achieve this will be done when you ask in My name." (Paraphrased).
Are you worshipping God for vanities gains or eternal gains?
With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to stop living for vanities gain but for Jesus' gain.
Those celebrating Jesus are driving out evil spirits and taking in spirits of God so they can joint heirs with Christ. The fruits of the Spirit are the spirits you need to have in you to become a joint heir.

Prayer point: My Lord drive out all spirits of the world in me that is making me worship You for vanities gain.
