KNOW AND WORSHIP HIM AS LORD

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

Until you come to terms with who the Lord Jesus really is, you can’t serve Him or walk with Him. As long as He is to you “the Son of God” without a definition, He remains abstract, and you won’t relate with Him rightly.

Even the way many address Him reveals what they know. There’s a difference between talking about Him and talking to Him. You can say “Jesus” when you’re talking about Him, but when you’re talking to Him, you address Him as Lord.

After His resurrection and ascension, no one ever addressed Him casually as Jesus but as Lord Jesus. When you know Him, you recognise His lordship. Some people say Jesus appeared to them, but if they truly saw Him, there would be a change in their reverence and honour.

Saul of Tarsus had an encounter on the road to Damascus. A light struck him down, and he heard a voice calling his name: “...Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:4). His response was immediate: “...Who art thou, Lord?...” (Acts 9:5). He recognised that the One who manifested such power could only be the Lord.

When the Lord answered, “...I am Jesus whom thou persecutest...” (Acts 9:5), Saul didn’t respond by addressing Him casually. From then on, he related to Him as Lord. The same truth is seen in the experience of John. In Revelation 1:17, he says, “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead....”

This was the glorified Christ. Power was present, and John fell under that manifestation. Then the Lord laid His right hand upon him and spoke words of blessing: _“...Fear not; I am the first and the last”_ (Revelation 1:17).

When you recognise Him as Lord, your fellowship with Him becomes richer. Your reverence deepens. Your consciousness of His glory increases. And you discover that even with a few words, your prayer becomes full of power because you’re relating with Him as He truly is: the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for unveiling to me the reality of the lordship of Jesus Christ. I honour Him with reverence, and I relate with Him with the consciousness of His glory, majesty and authority. My fellowship with Him is deep and rich, and I walk in the power of His Name and the dominion of His Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE COMPLETE REVELATION OF GOD’S LOVE

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love (1 John 4:

Many people have their own definition of love because the word love has been there even before Jesus came. People used it in their daily language. It was not created when Jesus arrived. Even in the Greek expression, love, which is translated “agape,” was a known word; they used it in their daily conversations, so they already had their idea of love.

But the Lord Jesus Christ is the true definition of God’s love. He was the visible manifestation and expression of the love of God when He walked the earth. The Bible says God is love; that love was tabernacled in human flesh and manifested to us in the person of Jesus. When He walked the earth, it was love walking, talking, touching and changing lives.

When He entered the temple and preached, He was God’s love preaching. When He healed the sick, He was God’s love healing them. Even when He made whips and overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple, that was God’s love in manifestation.

Make no mistakes about it, your human definition of love will never decide for God what love is. Jesus Christ was God’s love come to us in the flesh. John 1:14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Fully God and fully man, He embodied everything love is. Therefore, to know love, you must know the Lord Jesus. To understand love, you must see it through Him. He is the perfect and complete revelation of God’s love to humanity.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for revealing your love to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in the consciousness of your love, expressing it with wisdom, truth and power. My life reflects the love of Christ in action, bringing healing, righteousness and transformation to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 John 4:9-11 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

“WHICH THINGS ALSO WE SPEAK”

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God (1 Corinthians 2:12).

One of the reasons the Holy Spirit came into your life is to help you know the things of God and make you conscious of what God has freely given to you. 1 Corinthians 2:11-13 explains this with striking clarity. It says, “…the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

Now, notice something absolutely remarkable in the 12th and 13th verses. There’re those who criticise Christians for speaking or confessing the Word, especially when it concerns prosperity, health, victory, or dominion in Christ. But their problem is ignorance of the Word. There’re only two directions: if you’re not proclaiming prosperity and health then you’ve endorsed lack and sickness. There’s no middle ground.

3 John 1:2 proves that God is interested in your complete prosperity: your material prosperity, and the prosperity of your soul: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Not only does the Holy Spirit reveal these and other amazing truths of your heritage and identity in Christ to you, He also teaches you to speak them.

Christianity is for talkers. If you don’t speak what God has given you, you’re not practising Christianity as revealed in Scripture. We talk our inheritance. We declare our identity. We profess our heritage. We boldly declare what we have and who we are in Christ. That’s the victory principle—saying what God has said: “…he hath said…So that we may boldly say…” (Hebrews 13:5-6).

As you keep saying what God has said, the realities of the Kingdom are manifested in your life. Therefore, declare your victory. Affirm your dominion. Speak your prosperity and health. Speak the Word boldly and watch your life go from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who teaches me to speak the things you have freely given to me. My mouth is filled with your Word, and I speak boldly. I walk in victory, dominion and prosperity, and my life is transformed from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 2:11-13 AMPC
For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him?

YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ANOINTING

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things (1 John 2:20).

You can be blessed through the grace God has given to someone else. You can be influenced by their faith, and they can join their faith with yours to get something done. But no one can increase the anointing on your life, because you already have all the anointing there could ever be. If you’d trust this truth, you’d do amazing things.

The Bible says, “...ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...” (Acts 1:. The Holy Spirit came upon them on the day of Pentecost for the purpose of dwelling inside them. He comes upon, to enter in. He came upon you to prepare you as the tabernacle of God, and now He lives in you. How could you then have a lesser unction or anointing when He lives in you in His totality, His fullness?

The Scriptures tell us something extraordinary: we are members of Christ’s body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30). It doesn’t get better than that. John 1:16 also says, “...of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” And then 1 John 4:17 declares “...as he is, so are we in this world.”

That means God sees us the way He sees Jesus. Demons see us the way they saw Jesus. What more do you want? You already have what you need. In 1 John 2:20, John, by the Spirit, wrote to the saints saying, “...ye have an unction from the Holy One….” Notice He didn’t say, “Try to get more unction from the Lord”; rather he said you already have it!

The same word translated “unction” is translated “anointing” in the 27th verse that says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you....” Having received the Holy Spirit, God never gives the impression that you need to get something more before you can live for Him or function for Him.

You already received all the power, glory and authority you need to live transcendently on earth. The anointing is inside you and that anointing teaches you and abides in you forever. This is your reality.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your glory, power, authority and dominion granted me forever because I’ve received the Holy Spirit. I live conscious of His greatness within me as I function in the fullness of Christ. I walk in boldness, dominion and supernatural ability, manifesting your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 John 2:27 NIV
As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

Romans 8:10-11 KJV
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [11] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

*THE RIGHT FOUNDATION FOR FAITH*

📖 *_"For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7)._*

Do you want to live the Christian life according to the Bible? Then you've got to know and follow the Word for yourself and live by it, not your feelings. Feelings and personal experiences are not basis for faith. God never designed us to rely on experiences. Our faith is founded on His Word.

People often describe different sensations they *"feel"* when the power of God is manifested. Some say they felt something cold; others say they felt something hot. Some say they were shaking, and others say they became stiff and couldn't move. These are personal experiences peculiar to different individuals.

Therefore, it's not right for anyone to make a doctrine out of their personal experience. The Bible never says you must feel anything when the power of God is working in you, on you, or through you. The Word doesn't base divine realities on sensations. They're activated by faith. No matter the feeling you may have, focus on the Word, on the result, that God's grace has met your need. A beautiful example is the woman with the issue of blood. The Bible records that the moment she touched the hem of the Master's garment, *_"... straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague"_*(Mark 5:29).

Notice that her testimony of the feeling was that she was healed. That is the kind of testimony that matters; the best report is to know and testify that you are healed. That's the Word's report and provides the right foundation for faith. Faith is the expectation of the fulfilment of God's Word and acting accordingly, and you'll enjoy the results that the Word guarantees.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your Word that guides my life and establishes my faith. My confidence is anchored in your truth, and I walk in the reality of your Word today. My faith is strong, my spirit is confident, and my life produces faith-based results because I live by your Word, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

RESPOND RIGHTLY TO THE SPIRIT

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he… As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground (John 18:4-6).

There’s such a thing as falling under the power of God. It’s real. But sometimes, that people fell under the power when hands were laid on them or when they were ministered to, doesn’t automatically mean they received something.

Power can be present, power can flow, and people can respond physically to that power yet receive no meaningful spiritual impartation. You can tell by the results. For example, John 18:4-6 tells us what transpired on the night the Lord Jesus was arrested. He stood before the men who came for Him and asked, “Whom do you seek?”

They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” And He said, “I am he.” The Bible says they staggered backwards and fell to the ground. They fell under the power. It was real power. But what did they receive? Nothing! They still arrested Him. The manifestation of power didn’t mean a spiritual deposit was received.
Acts 9:3-7 shows us the example of Saul on the road to Damascus. A light shone from heaven, and a voice spoke, “...Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:4). Paul testified that on hearing that voice, he and his companions all fell to the earth. Yet only one heard the meaning of the words that the Lord spoke—Saul of Tarsus, who later was called Paul.
The rest fell down, got up, and went into the city. There was power but they received nothing. Remember that the Holy Spirit is intelligent. He knows a person can be under His influence and still receive nothing. Therefore, you must learn to respond correctly to the Spirit, by faith and understanding, to receive His blessings and impartations.


PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for your Spirit who ministers to me and through me with wisdom and power. My heart is receptive, my spirit is attentive, and I receive divine deposits that produce lasting transformation as the Spirit ministers to me. My life bears lasting fruits, and I walk in the fullness of the blessings of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RELEASE THE POWER FROM WITHIN

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

As a new creation, you don’t need another power or a special charge from outside. All the power you require is already in you. When you received the Holy Spirit, you received limitless, supernatural power to effect changes. This power, according to James 5:16 AMPC, is dynamic in its operation. What God wants is that you frequently release that power from within you.

Years ago, while preparing for a major camp meeting, I recall praying to the Lord for a fresh “turbo charge.” But the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, “What you need is the release of what you already have inside you.” Then, I asked, “Lord, how do I release it?” And He said, “It’s an act of your faith.” Immediately, I caught it.

That night, as I ministered the Word, I perceived the power of God flowing out of me like a river. Suddenly, a visible cloud, like smoke, rose from the concrete floor. This wasn’t the effect of an artificial smoke machine; the glory of God filled the place. People shouted as the cloud moved over them. The sick were healed everywhere in the arena. Glory to God!

Here’s the point: that power didn’t come from heaven into the room. It came from within me. The Lord Jesus said, “He that believeth on me…out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). He spoke of the Holy Spirit who would be given to those who believe in Him. The same Spirit is in you today.

The words that you speak are Spirit-filled words; they’re full of power. They carry life and produce healing, deliverance, and miracles. Don’t wait for something to come from outside. Release the power within you through faith-filled words. Speak life. Speak healing. Speak salvation. Let the rivers of living water within you flow and transform the lives of those around you.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your supernatural power at work in me; your grace and glory flow from within me to bless, heal, strengthen and lift others. I function in your wisdom and ability today, transforming lives everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*ALWAYS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT*

_*And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).*_

I t’s God’s desire that you live continually filled with the Spirit, and the Bible tell us how in the ensuing verses 19 to 21 of our opening scripture: *“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”*

How profound that He’d list for us what we’re to do in getting ourselves perpetually filled with the Spirit! It’s up to you to put this to practise every day in your personal life. It’ll keep you above agitation, fear and worry. Those who aren’t often filled with the Spirit are easily troubled and uneasy, looking for someone to blame or somewhere to vent their frustrations.

But when you live full of the Spirit, you remain joyful, peaceful and at rest. You don’t struggle; your faith prevails. You function from a place of divine supply, strength and wisdom.

Every day, stay continually stirred, stimulated and spiritually minded. It’s your responsibility to remain in that atmosphere. There, everything is permanent, unshaken, and eternal. From that realm, you govern circumstances and rule over life’s situations. You’re constantly aglow and afire by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of being continually filled with the Spirit. I maintain the glow of the Spirit in my life as I walk in the consciousness of your righteousness, glory, beauty, excellence and eternal life within me. I live from the realm of the Spirit and dominate my world with your power and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

* A SWORN DECLARATION OF BLESSING

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee (Hebrews 6:13-14).

God’s covenant with Abraham was more than a promise—it was a sworn declaration of blessing. The Bible says that because God could not swear by anyone greater, He swore by Himself. That means the blessing was backed by God's very nature and integrity. It wasn’t just a good intention; it was a covenant of certainty.

This blessing wasn’t for Abraham alone. Galatians 3:29 declares, “...If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” You’re the inheritor of the Abrahamic blessings. You’re the reason God made that promise to Abraham—to reach you through Christ. This blessing is active in your life today, and it means increase, favour, fruitfulness, and spiritual authority.

God’s blessing on you is irreversible and unstoppable. That’s why no curse, opposition, or circumstance can prevail against you. You’ve been empowered to succeed and multiply. This is something much bigger than yourself. It’s not just about your needs being met; it’s about being a channel of divine flow. He said to Abraham, “...I will bless you...And you shall be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2 NKJV).

You’re blessed to be a blessing. You’ve been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). Don’t live like someone trying to be blessed. Live as one already blessed, walking in divine partnership with God and dispensing blessings. Speak blessings. Declare your increase. Expect favour and dispense favour. Multiply your resources and use them to advance the Kingdom. It’s your heritage in Christ. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me the seed of Abraham and an heir of the blessing. I’m fruitful, favoured and empowered to prosper. I walk in excellence and supernatural abundance; I’m a blessing to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Galatians 3:8-9 KJV
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. [9] So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

NO SUCH THING AS LACK

📖But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

We observed in our previous study that being born again, you’ve been brought into a place of unending, boundless, and exhaustless riches. Christ is your source. He’s brought you into a “large place” (Psalm 18:19), a place of wealth untold. That’s the reality.


Therefore, lack should have no place in your life as a child of God. There’s no such thing as shortage for the one who lives by the mentality of the Spirit. Think beyond this world about everything concerning your life. Keep your mindset aligned with your divine nature.

You’re a child of God;therefore, your thoughts, speech, and expectations must reflect that reality. It must reflect in the excellence of your health, the excellence of your finances and everything else about your life. Don’t allow others to measure you by their limitations.

The one who thinks lack assumes everyone else is in lack. The one who feels pain assumes everyone must feel the same pain. But you’re different. Therefore, think differently, speak differently and live differently. You’re from above; you live in Christ, and in Christ there’s no lack.

Refuse to reason from the realm of need; you came from the realm of abundance. You function from heaven’s supply. The Lord Jesus didn’t die for nothing. He brought us into sonship. He made us heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. That means all things are yours now. See and speak from this divine position of advantage and abundant
grace.

There’s money for you everywhere. There’re resources laid up for you to execute the assignments God has committed to you. The doors are open; the supply is endless. Act like the Word is true, because, indeed, it is! It
says, “The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing” (Psalm 34:10 NIV). Hallelujah!

I walk in Christ’s boundless and inexhaustible supply, in His unsearchable riches. I refuse lack or limitation. All things are mine. I live in supernatural supply every day! I operate in divine abundance and walk in the full manifestation of my inheritance in Christ. I am a
dispenser of blessings and a giver of good things, fulfilling God’s purpose with excellence. Amen.

THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSINGS OF CHRIST

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:29).

Every Christian is called to walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul knew it was possible, and by the Spirit, he declared accordingly. It’s not a special privilege exclusive to the apostles. Rather, it’s what is possible for every one of us in Christ; we’re called to live in the fullness of the blessings of Christ.

Make up your mind that this is going to be your experience. Acknowledge and declare every day that you walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. This is the life of the new creation; it’s a life of advantage, abundant supply, and exceeding grace.

Remember the line in the prayer that the Lord Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). This means our heavenly Father has a daily budget for each one of us, a divine provision set aside just for you every single day! So, enjoy what’s yours; walk in the fullness of your daily provisions.

God already made the supply. Even the ones you didn’t “collect” over the years have accumulated for you as arrears; call them forth! Make the firm decision to enjoy your life in Christ and to live a great life. He called you into a life of blessing according to 1 Peter 3:9, “… ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.” Therefore, live in blessings.

It’s part of the reasons we give, serve, and reach others with the love of Christ. It’s the reason we distribute God’s Word in every known language, to improve and save lives, and bring them into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, so they too can know about and walk in the fullness of the blessings of Christ. Praise God!


PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel. I walk in surplus and unending divine advantages. I’m a dispenser of blessings, improving lives, and fulfilling your perfect will by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*📜ALIGN YOUR WORDS WITH HIS WORD*

*Wednesday, April 1st*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).*_

The Lord Jesus said, _*"...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life"*_ (John 6:63). The same is true about our words, because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Our words are not ordinary. When you understand this, you’ll put a premium on words and become careful how you use them.

Words are the greatest things in the world. The Lord Jesus set an example for us on the use of words. He healed with words, He blessed with words, and He changed lives with words. On a certain occasion, some officers were sent to arrest Him; when they got to where He was, they met Him teaching and decided to listen (John 7:32, 45-46). When He was through, they couldn’t bring themselves to lay hands on Him. When they returned without Him, the elders asked, "Where is He?" (John 7:45).

They answered, _*"...No man ever spoke like this Man!"*_ (John 7:46 NKJV). It wasn’t that the Master used unusual expressions or rare diction; it was the power, truth, and spirit of His words (John 6:63; Luke 4:32). His words mended the brokenhearted, cast out devils, and even raised the dead (Luke 4:18-19; John 11:43-44). His words got a response from heaven; the Father responded to His words (John 12:28).

In Christ, we have received that same life. Our words, spoken in faith, are spirit and life. Your words bring healing, comfort, direction, and blessings. This is why you must never take your words lightly. Speak with truth, grace, and faith. Speak as one who understands the power and energy of words.

Remember the words of the Master in Matthew 12:37, _*“For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”*_ Align your speech continually with the Word, and it’ll produce life and results. Keep growing in this understanding. Hallelujah!

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which cultures my spirit and fills my heart with faith, love, and righteousness. My words are not ordinary; they are spirit and life, producing healing, comfort, restoration, and blessings in my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*📜THE GOSPEL OF DELIVERANCE*

*Tuesday, March 24th*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).*_

Someone once asked why I don’t preach on “deliverance”; I actually do, but not in the way some expect. I believe the Word of God brings true deliverance, and the moment you receive Christ, you’re delivered. The Gospel itself is the Gospel of deliverance.

Salvation comes by confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. That confession of His lordship is deliverance in itself because the lordship of Jesus Christ over your life completely broke the dominion of Satan. You can’t have Jesus as Lord of your life and, at the same time, have Satan ruling over you; that’s impossible.

Now, some worry about what they call generational bondage or curses. But the Bible already gives the answer to that in 2 Corinthians 5:17. It says, _*“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”*_ That means the problem some Christians have is not bondage but ignorance. There’s a mentality some still carry that has kept them defeated, oppressed and in satanic strongholds. But what did the Lord Jesus say, _*“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”*_ (John 8:32). The truth is that in Christ, you’ve been begotten into a new life, a living hope by His resurrection. Hallelujah!

When He died, you died with Him. When He was buried, you were buried with Him. When God raised Him from the dead, you were raised together with Him. Now the Bible says, _*“Giving thanks unto the Father… Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son”*_ (Colossians 1:12-13).

Thus, the true deliverance is the lordship of Jesus Christ over your life. Now that you’re in Him, you’re seated in the highest place of authority, dominion and power. Ephesians 2:6 says you’ve been raised up together and made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 1:21 describes this seat of power as _*“Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come”*_ (Ephesians 1:21). You’re superior to Satan; you therefore don’t need any deliverance from him.

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for my glorious life in Christ and the blessed liberty of the Spirit to love you, fellowship with you, serve you and live for you. Thank you for the victory and dominion I have over Satan and the powers of darkness. I live free, bold, and triumphant every day, walking in the truth of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*📜THE REALITY OF RESURRECTION*

*Sunday, March 22nd*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever (Hebrews 13:.*_

There are those who preach reincarnation, claiming that after death, a person returns in another body, perhaps as an animal, bird, insect, or even another human. But this teaching is unscriptural. The Bible teaches resurrection, not reincarnation. Resurrection is life after death, but it’s the same person who’s brought back to life by God's power. That is the truth.

Reincarnation is a lie, a false doctrine, but resurrection is God's reality. It’s interesting how many believe in what they can’t prove. Christianity can be proven. The resurrection of Christ proves His deity. Romans 1:4 says He was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

That’s why His Name still has power today. Whatever He accomplished before He died, His Name continues to do today. The Bible says, _*“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever”*_ (Hebrews 13:. Furthermore, the Bible says God has appointed a day of judgment, confirmed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (read Acts 17:31).

The resurrection is the undeniable proof that the Lord Jesus is the appointed Judge. Believing in this truth excludes the idea of reincarnation. Some misunderstand the words of the Master about John the Baptist, calling him “Elijah.” He didn’t mean Elijah reincarnated as John the Baptist; rather, He meant that John the Baptist came in the power and spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:13-17). If Elijah himself were to appear again, he would still be Elijah, not John.

The Bible also speaks of two witnesses who will minister in Israel during the last days, and many believe one of them will be Elijah, since he never died but was taken alive to heaven (2 Kings 2:11). When he appears, it will not be a reincarnation, but Elijah himself manifesting again according to God’s plan.

How about Moses? The Bible says he died and God Himself buried him (Deuteronomy 34:5-6). Yet, he appeared with Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration with the Lord Jesus (Matthew 17:1-3). That wasn’t reincarnation either; it was Moses in a glorified, transfigured body, demonstrating the resurrection power of God. Hallelujah!

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for the assurance of eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ. I live in the reality of His resurrection power and look forward with joy to the glorious rapture of the Church and resurrection of the saints. Thank you for the truth of your Word that has made me free to live joyfully in the love, joy, peace, and dominion of your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*||* *‭‭1 Corinthians 15:12-20 KJV Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

📜THE HIGHER REALM OF FAITH

Saturday, March 21st
Pastor Chris

📖Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

Faith is such an important subject in the Word of God. The Bible says without faith, it’s impossible to please God. But what exactly is faith? The Bible gives us the clearest definition as read in our opening scripture. In the Old Testament, what we call faith was often expressed more as trust or confidence in God. They trusted Him to keep His promises, to guide them, to be with them on their journeys.

Abraham, for example, demonstrated this kind of faith by making an unqualified commitment to God, breaking all the limits of trust. But in the New Testament, faith is revealed as something higher and greater. It’s not just having the confidence that God “will” act or do something; it’s living in the finished works of Christ. It’s knowing and accepting that God has done all He ever needed to do for us and acting accordingly.

Therefore, faith being the substance of things hoped for means it’s the “materiality” of your hope. It’s the assurance that what you’ve believed has become real, you’ve possessed it, irrespective of what your mind or senses may tell you. The Word of God is the evidence that you’re who God says you are, you have what He says you have, and you can do what He says you can do. Your response to these and other truths in the Word of God is faith.

That’s why we say faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. When you hear His Word, your spirit must grasp it as real because your spirit can see, perceive, and respond to spiritual realities even when your senses can’t. That’s what God expects of us. It’s not enough to trust Him occasionally in one area of life, but to live entirely in this higher realm of faith. Hebrews 10:38 says, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

🗣️CONFESSION

My faith is the victory that overcomes the world. I see, possess, and live in the reality of my heritage, identity and abilities in Christ Jesus. My faith is active, producing results and changing hopeless circumstances for the glory of God. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY📖=> || ‭‭Hebrews 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ||

BOLDNESS IS OF THE SPIRIT

📚And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:1).

Someone once asked, “How do I develop the boldness or courage to minister the Gospel?” The answer is simple: be filled with the Spirit. If you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, you’ll be bold. In the book of Acts, we see that the Apostles were emboldened by the Spirit. Their confidence wasn’t from human ability but from being filled with the Spirit.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:4, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.” The word “edifieth” also means emboldens. The one who speaks in tongues emboldens himself. The more you pray in tongues, the more your spirit is stirred in the Holy Ghost, and the bolder you become.

Think of Simon Peter; before he received the Holy Spirit, he was timid. At the crucifixion, when the Lord was arrested, Peter denied even knowing Him. He was called Simon, a reed, shaken by the wind. But after he received the Holy Spirit, everything changed. On the day of Pentecost, filled with the Spirit, he stood before a massive crowd and boldly proclaimed Christ. The timid Simon had become Peter the Rock, empowered by the Holy Ghost.

The same Spirit is in you today. Ephesians 5:18 instructs us to be continually filled with the Spirit and also tells us how: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:19-21).


When you pray in tongues often, sing spiritual songs, and give thanks always, you stay full of the Spirit. And when you’re full of the Spirit, boldness is natural. You’ll find yourself confidently preaching, teaching, and sharing the Word of God anywhere and with anyone. That boldness is of the Spirit.


PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who dwells in me and fills me with boldness to preach the Gospel and manifest your righteousness at all times. I’m full of power by the Holy Spirit,strengthened with might in my inner man and invigorated with miracle-working ability as I declare your Word everywhere, leading many to salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Theme: True Submission To The Lordship Of Jesus


Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

Some situations and challenges you face may not change until you understand true submission to the lordship of the Name of Jesus. It’s a missing link in the lives of some Christians. They say, “I’ve prayed and fasted, but the power of God in my life seems elusive. What more do I need to do?” I’ll give you an example in Matthew 17.

The Bible tells us how a man approached the Lord Jesus, kneeling before Him, and pleading for his son who was tormented by a demon (Matthew 17:14 - 16). The Lord responded with these words: ...O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me. And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour (Matthew 17:17 - 18 NKJV).

The disciples had been given authority to cast out demons and heal the sick (Matthew 10:1), which made their inability to cast out the demon from the boy perplexing to them. After witnessing how Jesus successfully cast out the demon, in their frustration, they asked Him privately why they couldn’t do it themselves.

Then the Master explained,...Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:20 - 21). Notice His words; they reveal something important about the essence of true prayer and fasting.

Sadly, this is where many people miss it; they fast for more power to cast out devils, but that’s not the idea here. One of the things that prayer and fasting does for you is to get you more submissive to the lordship of Jesus. The more you yield yourself to Him, the more His power flows through you.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word. I submit myself wholly to your lordship, acknowledging that you are my sufficiency and strength. Your power and grace flow through me unhindered to heal the sick, cast out devils, raise the dead, and do mighty works with the Gospel, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

|| Matthew 17:19 - 21
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. ||

THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS LORDSHIP

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).

Now that you’re in Christ, it’s a new life altogether, a life under the lordship of Jesus. Yet, many Christians are not fully conscious of His lordship in their everyday life. When you say Jesus Christ is Lord of your life, it means that His Word has become the supreme authority in your life.

The lordship of Christ is expressed first in the lordship of His Word. You cannot function in His lordship without submitting to the authority of His Word. That Word is described in Scripture as “the Word of His grace”; that’s what builds you up in life, strengthens you, and establishes you in the inheritance that belongs to you in Christ.

This is why you can’t afford to be in just any place, listening to just anything. The Word of His grace reveals Christ, unveils His finished work, and imparts faith, boldness and the consciousness of your inheritance. That’s what empowers you to function effectively in the lordship of Jesus.

So, make up your mind to live perpetually under the authority of the Word. The more you submit to the Word, the more you’ll function in the consciousness of His lordship for His glory to be revealed in your life in ever-increasing measure.

CONFESSION

I’m fully yielded to the authority of God’s Word, the Word of His grace that builds me, strengthens me, and positions me in my inheritance in Christ. I’m growing, making progress, and manifesting the glory of God in ever-increasing measure because I’m a doer of the Word. The Word of God is my life and my all. Hallelujah!

[23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

A LIFE OF BLESSINGS, GLORY, AND EXCELLENCE

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC).

As a Christian, you’re not subject to disease, infirmities or demons, because you have the transcendent life in Christ. You’re not in bondage to the elements of this world; you live above them. I love the way the Apostle Peter puts it; he said, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4).

You live far above and beyond the corruption, decadence and darkness of this world because you’re an associate of the God-kind, a partaker of the divine nature. You’re superior to Satan and the corrupting influences of this present world of darkness. Your life is full of blessings, glory and virtue. Virtue is excellence; you have an excellent life in Christ Jesus.

Think about the Apostle Peter who wrote the beautiful verses of scripture that we read earlier; he once trembled with fear and denied the Lord Jesus before a little girl. His faith was unstable. But after he received the Holy Spirit, something changed. He expressed and manifested the God-life in Him with such glory and boldness that through his preaching, three thousand souls gave their hearts to Christ in one day, as revealed in Acts 2:41.

What transformed him? He had come to the revelation of the glorious life we have in Christ. What a life! There’s no failure, defeat, or darkness in you; only blessings, excellence, perfection, and glory. 1 Peter 3:9 says you were called to inherit a blessing, not shame or weakness. This is the life you’ve received in Christ; it’s one of dominion over sickness, disease, demons, poverty, failure and death. Glory to God!

PRAYER
I thank you Father for the glorious life you’ve given me in Christ Jesus, a life of blessings, excellence, health, victory and strength. I walk in your marvellous light, displaying your virtues and perfections to my world. I live above sickness, defeat and demonic influence because I live in Christ. Hallelujah!

*SENT AS A WITNESS*

*_There was a man sent from God, whose name was John (John 1:6)._*

Some people argue that no one should say, “God sent me,” but the Scripture already settles that. The Lord Jesus said in John 20:21, *_“…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”_* Moreover, we read in our opening scripture that there was a man sent from God whose name was John. So, like John, you’re God-sent. You’ve been sent as a witness with the power of the Holy Spirit.

You’re not a wanderer in life; you’re a divine envoy. You’re heaven’s ambassador in the earth: *_“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…”_* (2 Corinthians 5:20). You’re a light bearer, and more than that, you’re light: *_“Ye are the light of the world...”_* (Matthew 5:14). You’ve been sent to illuminate men’s path and light up the nations with the message of Christ’s salvation.

Refuse to let anyone convince you otherwise; you were born with a purpose. You came as a witness to your generation. Your life is God’s message. And being a witness means making disciples. The Master’s instruction wasn’t to simply lead men to Christ but to also make disciples of them: *_“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV)._*

That means those you reach with the Gospel are to follow and observe your faith. They should walk in your steps in doctrine, in prayer, and in Kingdom service. They’re to follow the vision you’re following. The Apostle Paul understood this when he said, *_“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ”_* (1 Corinthians 11:1). True disciples lead others in the path they themselves are walking. Disciples make disciples. So, stay committed and be consistent in soul winning. Be bold about your calling and faithful to your divine mission.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for choosing and sending me as your witness to my generation. I walk in the light of your Word and reflect your glory everywhere. I make disciples through the power of your Spirit, teaching and guiding them in the path of righteousness. I’m bold about my calling and faithful to my mission, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome D.Sc, D.Sc, DD

THE KEY IS WALKING IN LOVE

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22).

Someone once wrote me a letter wanting to know how to overcome arrogance with God's help. He had been perceived as arrogant and genuinely wanted to dismiss that trait from his life and personality. That was a wonderful desire. Simply wanting to change was his first step toward victory over it.

But here’s what you must do when you desire a change in any area of your life: act on the Word. Be a doer of the Word as read in our opening scripture. Respond to God’s Word and live accordingly. So, in dealing with arrogance, for example, you act on the Word. Ephesians 5:1-2: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love…." The key to overcoming arrogance is walking in love.

Then the Bible says in Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." The fruit of the Spirit refers to the natural product of the recreated human spirit, the born-again spirit. These qualities are part of your innate nature and love is one of them.

Galatians 5:19-21 lists the works of the flesh, and arrogance is of the flesh. Choose to walk in humility, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. These qualities are already within your spirit. Cultivate and develop them by walking in love. Every so often, declare, “I will walk in love.” Make that decision, and you’ll experience the glory of God in your life in a remarkable way, because love is His nature and the way of victory.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that purifies and renews my heart. Your love is fully expressed in me. I walk in humility, meekness and love toward others. Arrogance has no place in my spirit, for the beauty of Christ is seen and heard in my words, thoughts and actions, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, [2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, [5] Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

1 John 2:3-5 KJV
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

*📜YOU CAN HAVE GRACE MANY TIMES MORE*

*Tuesday, February 24th*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18).*_

The Bible tells us to grow in grace, to take advantage of the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. Don’t stay in the grace you had last year. It worked then, but there’s more. God wants you to move to new and higher levels of grace. You can have grace many times more. You might ask, “How can I make this happen? The Word of God shows us exactly how.

2 Peter 1:2 says, _*“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.”*_ Notice that it says “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you,” not added but multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. The more you get to know God through the Word, the more His grace in your life multiplies exponentially.

The knowledge of God that multiplies His grace in your life is “epignosis” (Greek). It means full and exact knowledge, knowledge that unites you with its object. Without that intimate, revelation knowledge or “epignosis” of Christ, your grace could be stagnant or only go from little grace to a little more grace. But as you study and meditate on the Word to know the Lord more, the increase is sudden.

That’s when you realize that your abilities have increased. Your influence, prosperity and greatness keep spreading. It’s part of the reasons He tells us to meditate on the Scriptures: _*“Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all”*_ (1 Timothy 4:15).

The Word "appear" is from the Greek “Phaneros”, and it means to spread abroad, to be distinctly known to all. So, when the grace of God is multiplied in your life, apart from the increased capacity or ability to do more, your prosperity, influence, greatness, impact, and the extent of your dominion are far-reaching and unmistakably known to all. Hallelujah!

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for showing me the way of increase. I grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. My grace is multiplied through revelation knowledge. I function in higher levels of ability, favour and influence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*📜YOU ARE THE WAY*

*Sunday, February 22nd*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).*_

Many people say God will make a way where there seems to be no way. It’s a wonderful encouragement. But such expressions aren’t scripturally correct, especially when you understand who Christ has made you to be. In the New Testament, God isn’t “making a way” for you; rather, He’s made you the way.

The Lord Jesus said, _*"...I am the way, the truth, and the life..."*_ (John 14:6). He was our way to God and the blessings of the Kingdom: deliverance, divine health, and every blessing that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ consummated for us. He brought us to the Father in our salvation. Now that we’re in Him, we are, to every sinner, the way to God.

That’s why when you study the book of Acts, you’ll see that the church is called "The Way." We have become the way. Why would you be looking for the way when you’re the way? Moreover, the Lord Jesus said, _*“…I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”*_ (John 8:12). As He is, so are you in this world. Inside us is the way out of trouble, and the way that lights up the darkness.

We never walk in darkness or confusion; we never find ourselves out of the way. If you don’t know what to do, pray in the Holy Ghost and your eyes will be opened, and you will be led. The Bible says, _*"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God"*_ (Romans 8:14). So, don’t quote Old Testament blessings without understanding them through the light of the New Testament. The New has replaced the Old (Hebrews 8:13). Hallelujah!

*🗣️CONFESSION*

*Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into oneness with Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I live in the light of your Word and walk in the wisdom of the Spirit. I am never lost, never confused and never disadvantaged, for Christ is in me, and I am alive in Him. Glory to God!*

*FURTHER STUDY📖=>* *||* *‭‭John 14:6 AMPC Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.* *||*

*BUILD YOURSELF WITH THE WORD*

*_For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...(Proverbs 23:7)._*

Take a moment to think about the kind of person you are, the thoughts you think, the way you act and respond. If someone else were exactly like you and given to you as a friend, would you like that person? Some might say yes; others might hesitate. But whether yes or no, the point is clear: you’re what you have made yourself to be.

Every thought going through your mind right now is a reflection of what you have become. Over the years, what you have consistently listened to, read, and watched has steadily moulded your thinking, your values, and ultimately, who you have become. You reason the way you do because of what you have made out of yourself. You’re your own handiwork.

The Scripture shows that life is from within. Who you are outwardly is only the expression of who you’ve become inwardly. That’s why God gives us His Word, to reshape our minds and fill our spirits with divine thoughts. When you fill your heart with God’s Word, you’ll unveil His glory, wisdom and excellence.

That’s why the Bible says, *_“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord”_* (Colossians 3:16). Then Acts 20:32 says, *_“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”_*

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your Word that builds, trains and transforms my life from glory to glory. My thoughts, words and actions are aligned with your Word, producing excellence, wisdom and beauty in my life. I’m your workmanship, full of your glory and goodness, manifesting your righteousness everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Romans 12:2 KJV*
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

*James 1:22-25 KJV*
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

*Proverbs 4:23 KJV*

HE TOOK YOUR BLAME

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight (Colossians 1:21-22).

How gracious and loving the Lord is, to think that He actually took responsibility for your errors! He took responsibility for your sins. All that time you were blaming yourself for something terrible that you did, you actually didn’t have to because God put all the blame on the Lord Jesus.

When He hung on the Cross, all your sins and mistakes; past, present and future were fully remitted. So, today, even when Satan and others blame you, or you blame yourself, it makes no difference. There’s no judgment against you, for the Bible says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1).

There’re people who, when they do something wrong, find it difficult to forgive themselves, sinking into guilt and regret. No! Believe in the Lord Jesus and what He accomplished for you. Stop blaming yourself. The Bible says, “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight” (Colossians 1:21-22).

Think about it! He didn’t say you never did anything wrong; rather, in spite of all the wrong things you’ve done, He’s not mad at you. He reconciled you to Himself. He made you righteous, holy, sanctified, glorified and justified. That’s Christianity. That’s the Gospel. That’s the message He sent us to tell the world; that He’s not holding men’s sins against them: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them...” (2 Corinthians 5:19).

The price has been paid. The guilt has been lifted. Everyone who believes is free to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy forevermore. Romans 5:8-10 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the wonderful truth of your Word. I rejoice because Jesus took my blame; now I live free from guilt, condemnation and accusation. I’m holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in your sight. I live in your presence justified, sanctified and glorified, rejoicing in the liberty of your grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*📜FRUSTRATE SATANIC AGENDAS*

*Friday, February 6th*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).*_

It’s important that we keep exercising our divine authority to frustrate satanic activities in our world and impede their agendas until their appointed time. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 says, _*“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”*_ “He who now letteth” is us, the Church.

We’re the restraining force against evil in the world today. We’re the reason Satan can’t rule this world until after the rapture of the Church. Satan knows this; remember when the Lord Jesus ministered in Jerusalem and Judea, the demons cried out to Him saying, “Have you come to destroy us before the time?” (Matthew 8:29).

They challenged Him on the matter of time, on legal grounds. They knew their destruction was certain but not yet due. They understood times and seasons, and they recognised divine legality. In the same way, we understand the legal authority of the Church in this present age. This present dispensation is the age of the Church, the Body of Christ. We don’t run concurrently with the reign of the Antichrist.

Though the spirit of Antichrist is already in the world, it can’t dominate or subdue the Church. The Word declares, _*“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them…”*_ (1 John 4:4). That means the Church has overcome, overshadowed and subdued the antichrist spirit, all satanic forces, and their agents.

So, when you issue decrees and command restraint over evil systems and satanic agendas, do so on the basis of this divine legality. It’s perfectly consistent with God’s eternal Word and His Word can’t be broken. No demon can resist when you act from the perspective of the Word and divine authority. Rule, reign, and win with this truth every day. Keep Satan and his cohorts in check. Restrain them by exercising your divine authority in Christ.

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for granting me the understanding of your Word and the authority to restrain evil in our world. I decree that satanic agendas are frustrated by the power of the Holy Spirit, and righteousness, peace and truth reign in the nations. The influence of darkness is broken, and the Church of Jesus Christ triumphs continually, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY📖=>* *||* *‭‭2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 NKJV And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. [7] For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.* *||*

*||* *‭‭Matthew 8:29 KJV And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?* *||*

*SATURATE YOUR ATMOSPHERE WITH TRUTH*

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17).

As the words of the Lord Jesus reveal in our opening scripture, the Word of God is truth. You’re responsible for saturating your own spiritual atmosphere with truth, and God’s Word is truth. Therefore, every now and then, speak; release faith-filled words into the realm of the spirit. Saturate your environment with truth. Even in your prayers, pray the Word; release divine truths that create realities.

Words are powerful; they carry substance. When those words are God’s truths, they go forth as spiritual missiles, shaping your world in line with your confessions. Even now, declare that you walk in victory and success continually in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Declare that you walk in prosperity and in divine health from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

Those are not mere words but spiritual releases; they penetrate the atmosphere of your life, influencing everything in their path. The Lord Jesus said in John 7:38, “…out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” That means your words, spoken in faith and through the Spirit, flow out of you like rivers, impacting your world.

Just as water evaporates unseen into the sky and eventually condenses and pours down as rain, the words you speak may be intangible, but soon they’ll pour down in results. So, speak into your city. Speak into your nation. Speak God’s truths over your ministry, your family, job, business and finances. Don’t relent. Keep pouring truth into the realm of the spirit. It’ll obliterate the darkness, for the Bible says, “...the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” (John 1:5); and the Word of God is light. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word in my life and its transformative impact in my environment. I have a glorious life; I walk in success, prosperity and divine health. As I speak, rivers of living water flow from my spirit, causing your will to be established and the atmosphere charged with life, light, victory and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
