Pastor Chris led millions in the BLW Nation in celebration of the New year, and declared by the Spirit, that for those in BLW, it is a year of Triumph.

He gave testimony and thanks to God for the year 2014, andspoke on the falsehood peddled against him in the past year. Details later. I'm typing the transcript.

Happy New year.

It's the usual bluff, cheap words. His anti tithe tract thread is about 6 months old now, no action, after so much noise and 'plans'...except the silly "you don't know the background work going on"

Now, this failed on arrival campaign? And I should be vexed? Hilarious. grin

Divine Protection Is Your Heritage! - Wednesday, December 31st .

Pastor Chris

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD (Isaiah 54:17).

As Christians, there’re certain things that have been handed over or bequeathed to us as a heritage. Divine protection is one of them; it’s your heritage in Christ. Our opening scripture says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:17). This scripture was a promise in the Old Testament, but it has become a reality for us in the New Testament.

Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” This is also your heritage in Christ. You can't be judged anymore. This makes you a master over life and circumstances. Luke 10:19 says nothing shall by any means hurt you; that means you’re impregnable to everything and anything that the enemy can conceive or concoct against you, physical or spiritual. Thus, it’s impossible to defeat you.

Isaiah 43:2 says, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Could it get any better than this? What a life we have in Christ! Keep going upward and forward, for the Lord is your refuge and your fortress. He's our salvation and deliverer from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

No wonder He says, “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that waste that noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalm 91:5-11). Glory to His Name forever!

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for my heritage in Christ; divine protection is mine. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I condemn. My life is a manifestation of the Word; therefore, victory is mine, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Praise ye the Lord. ;

Prepare Your Heart For The Word - Tuesday, December 30th .

Pastor Chris

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (Matthew 13:23).

In Acts 17:11, Luke, by the inspiration of the Spirit, compares the Jews who heard the Word in one city to those who heard the Word in another city. He wrote that those in Berea “...were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Thessalonica had a different response to the same message of the Gospel, compared to those in Berea, whom the Spirit describes as “more noble.”

Do you know what it is for the Spirit of God to tell us that certain people were nobler than others? What was the distinguishing factor? The answer lies in the same verse 11: “...They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Berea searched the scriptures; they studied to be sure that what they had been taught was really what the Word says. They received the Word with all readiness of mind. That means they prepared their hearts to receive the Word.

There’re people who go to church all around the world, without preparing their minds to receive the Word of God. Don’t be that way. It’s important to prepare your heart to seek the Lord (2 Chronicles 12:14, 2 Chronicles 30:19). Become voracious for the Word; let your heart go out for the Word. Let nothing distract you from receiving the Word. Those in Thessalonica received the Word with arguments; they argued in their minds against the Word; they weren’t ready for the Word.

Throughout the coming year, as you carefully study the Rhapsody of Realities devotional, and follow either the one-year or two-year Bible reading plan, receive all that the Lord has for you with readiness of mind. If you’d give the Word the right attention, you’d be amazed what God will do in your life, the revelations He’ll bring into your spirit to catapult you to higher realms of glory.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for showing me the benefits of preparing my heart to receive your engrafted Word into my Spirit. I have a voracious appetite for the Word, for it’s the only dependable material to build my spirit, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I’m therefore positioned for a life of absolute success and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your Future Is History With God - Monday, December 29th .

Pastor Chris

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17).

Abraham was called the Father of Faith because of the extraordinary faith he demonstrated. At age seventy-five, God appeared to him and said, “I have made thee a father of many nations.” Even though Abraham didn’t have a child at the time, and was called “Abram,” meaning “assumed father,” God could see that the man was already a father of many nations. He’s the God that quickens (gives life) to the dead, and calls things that didn’t exist as though they already existed. To God, Abraham’s future was history.

God’s Word to Abraham, that he (Abraham) would be the father of many nations already established Abraham’s future. God didn’t have to do anything more to change Abraham’s status from being childless. However, it was up to Abraham to take a hold of God’s Word and run with it.

One day, God brought him out in the night-time and told him to look up in the sky and count the stars (Genesis 15:5). Abraham tried but couldn’t number them, for they were uncountable. Then God said to him, “so shall thy seed be.” At that point, Abraham believed, and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Romans 4:3).

As Christians, we're the seed of Abraham, and it makes no difference what point you are in life; God has established a glorious future for you. He said, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11). Your future is history with Him. Therefore, refuse to fret or worry over anything. By yourself, you can’t know the path of life that brings success, joy, victory and prosperity, but the Holy Spirit knows, and He’ll lead you in the path of greatness. Cheer up; your future is bright.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for who I am in Christ. I’m the seed of Abraham and the world belongs to me. I refuse to worry or fret over anything because all things are mine already. You've made my life pleasant and my future is bright; for these I praise you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your True Origin And Identity - Sunday, December 28th .

Pastor Chris

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John 17:16).

There’re those who say that having received the life of Christ, you still have your old nature. That's not true, according to the Scriptures. You don’t have two natures; you have only one, and it's the nature of God. The question however is, “Where do you live? With what consciousness do you function?” As Christians, we live simultaneously in two worlds. Once you're born again, you’re alive to God; you’re awakened to the fatherhood of God and to the reality of the Kingdom of God.

You must realize that you’re a new creation, born of the Word and Spirit of the Lord. Therefore, even though you’re in this world, you're not of the world. When the Lord Jesus said, “I’m from above”; the Jews sneered at Him. They knew He was born physically in Nazareth; yet He said to them, “I’m from above.” They were offended at Him because they didn’t understand spiritual realities.

Jesus told the truth about His origin and identity. Like Him, you're from above. You have the same life and nature with Him. This is who you are now; not who you’re “trying” or “growing” to be. When a woman gives birth, the baby doesn't become more human as he grows. No matter how small the baby is at birth or the fact that he doesn’t walk immediately, can't sit, eat, and talk; he's still completely human. It’s the same with you; you’re hundred percent divine. You're of God; you hail from Him. Your origin is in Him. You're not of this world! This is the reality.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for my origin and identity in Christ. I refuse to operate by the failing principles that govern the world’s systems. I operate by a higher and different set of rules, for I'm from above; separated from the world unto the glory-life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Fast, Pray And Minister To The Lord! - Saturday, December 27th .

Pastor Chris

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them (Acts 13:2).

When you take out time to fast and pray, and minister to the Lord, you discipline your flesh in submission to the Word. This makes your spirit more receptive to God’s Spirit, breaking down the resistance of your human senses, thus aiding your spirit to pray more correctly.

Fasting also positions you rightly for God’s Word to come to you. God may have been speaking to you, but you may not have picked His signals. But when you fast and pray, your spirit is conditioned to receive the guidance and direction He’s giving you about your job, finances, family, academics, the future, something that’s dear to you or that you’re interested in.

Learn to apply the principle in Acts 13; don't stop at fasting and praying, also learn to minister to the Lord. In the church at Antioch, there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Lucius, and Manaen, including Paul. The Bible says, “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said…” (Acts 13:2). Notice that they didn’t have to cry, “Lord, speak to us; we want to hear your voice; speak!” No. They just ministered to Him and He spoke. It’s that simple.

This is God’s will and purpose: He desires to talk to you personally and to have you understand Him clearly. He wants to do that for you more than you want it. The truth is, He’s been doing it. But when your spirit is clouded with other matters, you can’t hear Him clearly. That’s the reason for fasting.

We don’t fast so God can hear our prayers, or so we can convince Him to do something for us. Fasting helps to position you where His Word can come to you, lift you, energize you, and position you to be in sync with His perfect will.

Prayer...
Dear Father,I thank you for the opportunity to fast, pray and minister to you and condition my spirit to receive visions of the glorious future you’ve prepared for me, visions of guidance, and visions of the Kingdom. I walk in absolute victory and dominion in the coming year, knowing you’ve already perfected all that concerns me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. ;

Be Of Good Cheer! - Friday, December 26th .

Pastor Chris

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

These words of the Master give us the assurance of a victorious life. It doesn’t matter what you faced in the outgoing year, rejoice in the Lord, and celebrate His victories in your life. This is important because as we journey in life, we must have times of reflection: moments when we look back and see what the Lord has done, and then project into the future, into the greater glory that He has in store for us.

The Bible says in Psalm 16:6 (CEV), “You make my life pleasant, and my future is bright.” Blessed thought! God has a bright future for you, and He loves to let you know about the future He’s planned for you, and endows you with the speed and power of the Spirit into that glorious future. No matter what you experience along the path, it'll always be for your good, and for your glory. Therefore, like the Apostle Paul, rejoice and say, “...None of these things move me” (Acts 20:24). Set your focus on the Lord and His Word, because there'll always be distracting influences here and there, trying to pull you off the goal, but refuse to turn away; stay on the Word and you’d be sure to experience victory, success and triumph.

You might say, “2014 hasn’t really been for me a year of greatness, because of the enormous problems and challenges that I faced.” It actually depends on what you are looking at. Remember, a man's worth is measured, not by the number of his friends or by the good things that happen with him, but by the challenges that he faces, and the power of his enemies. In other words, the bigger the trouble, the greater you really are!

As you prepare for 2015, be grateful for the challenges and difficulties that came your way, because they were opportunities for God to manifest His greatness in your life. Halleluiah.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelations of your Word that inspire faith in my spirit, and produce great testimonies in my life. I’m confident of the greater glory that lies ahead, for my path is as the shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day. You perfect all that concerns me, and for this I'm exceedingly grateful, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Glory Has Come - Thursday, December 25th .

Pastor Chris

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one (John 17:22).

In our opening verse, Jesus was talking to the Father in prayer about His disciples; He said, “The glory that you gave me, I have given to them.” This is amazing! I want you to know that the prayer is for us too, because in the same scripture, He said, “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word” (John 17:20). So Jesus prayed for us as well, and gave us the same glory that the Father gave Him.

This should get you thinking! If Jesus says the glory that the Father gave Him, He’s given to us, what would this mean? Notice He didn’t say, “I shall give them”; He said, “I have given them.” The question is, “Have you received it?” You know, it’s one thing to be given something; it's another thing to accept or receive it. The good news is, when you received Christ, you received the glory and became one with the Father.

The Bible says Jesus Christ is the effulgence of the Father's glory (Hebrews 1:3); that’s exactly what He’s made us—the effulgence of His glory, because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). This is what Christmas is to us. Christmas means that you’re in Christ now and that you have His life and nature in you. Christ is in you now, which means glory has come! Think on this as you celebrate today! As often as you can in the course of the day, say, “Father, I thank you; I’m your glory, and I express who I am today. Christ in me means glory in my life!”

Prayer...
Heavenly Father, I thank you for your great love which you expressed in sending Jesus to the world to make us one with you, even when we didn't deserve it. Lord, I thank you for the glory and oneness I share with you; I pray that all around the world, this season, Christ will be exulted and magnified, resulting in a great harvest of souls, as your children spread the message of salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. ;

Christmas Is All About Jesus - Wednesday, December 24th .

Pastor Chris

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

Christmas is all about Jesus: who He is, and what He came to do. Christmas is a season to reflect on the special kind of life that Jesus came to give us. So, the underlined portion of our opening scripture shows us God’s plan: Christ in you, the hope of glory. Do you know what it means for Christ to be in a man? Contemplate this for a moment: if it’s true that Christ lives in you, what should that make you?

The Church is yet to get a hold of this reality. Christ literally lives in you; He has taken up His abode in the quarters of your heart—your spirit. This knowledge should make you live triumphantly every minute, and every second of the day. You’re a champion for life; nothing can put you down because Christ lives in you. This is what Christmas is about; it’s about Christ in you!

Christ Jesus, the Word, became flesh (John 1:14); the Word was born to live in you; now He abides in you forever through the Holy Spirit. If Christ doesn’t live in you, then you can’t understand Christmas. You only have heard a story, but you’ve got to believe the story. Christmas means that Jesus came for you: to live in you, and live through you. So, accept Him today, and His purpose will be fulfilled in your life.

When you receive Him, He comes to live in you, and that means glory has come: Christ in you is the hope of glory. When you receive Christ, you receive the glory. He comes to live in your heart, and He makes you one with the Father.

Now that you know this, let the whole world know about it. Spread this great joy of Christmas and its wonderful meaning, by telling someone about Christ.

Prayer...
Blessed Father, I thank you for Christmas: a time to celebrate the glorious life I have in Christ Jesus, who is my righteousness, peace, and joy, and by whom I’m shielded from the evil and pestilence of life, covered by your glory. As the world celebrates this season, I pray that today, many who are yet to be saved will hear and open their hearts to receive the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I never said you had time for petty talks, I only helped the OP find ex CE members, except of course you mean the blog for ex CE members is for petty minded, bitter and religious folks, who rather than move on with the Christianity, would rarher form a union or association where they can discuss how bitter CE made them, and of course tend to warn others.

You know, you should be their president. You stsrted the Healing school thread years ago, now, don't be shy now, nor claim it is petty mindedness, do them the honour. I recommend for you. Meet Drummaboy for further tutorials.

Celebrating Divine Life - Tuesday, December 23rd .

Pastor Chris

…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

As we bask in the euphoria of the yuletide season, it’s important to understand who Jesus is, and what He actually came to do. Jesus is not a religious leader; He didn’t come to establish a religion. There’re many who think He came to show us how to do good things, and live the good life; that’s not what He came to do. He came to give us life. Therefore, Christmas is the celebration of the divine life—the God-kind of life that we have received in Christ Jesus.

God made us humans, but wanted us to have His life and nature. His plan was to make us associates of the God-kind, not just to live as mere men. That’s the reason He sent Jesus to the world, to live, die, and come back to life, and make it possible for men to receive the life of God: “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life...” (1 John 5:11-12).

How can anyone receive this life and nature of God today? It’s through faith in what Christ has done. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Anyone who believes, receives. Eternal life—the life and nature of God—is imparted to you the moment you make Jesus the Lord of your life. This life is one of righteousness, glory, victory, success and excellence.

Religion would have men believe they can only receive this life when they get to heaven, but eternal life is the present-hour possession of the one who believes in Jesus Christ. Man, in all his self-righteousness, is nothing before the Lord, until he receives this glorious life in him. If you haven’t been born again, you can do so even now, and become a partaker of this glorious, supernatural life, by asking Jesus to be the Lord of your life.

Confession...
The life and nature of God is at work in me, in every fibre of my being, in every cell of my blood and in every bone of my body. I’m thus an overcomer, victorious and triumphant over sickness, disease and circumstances. I’m superior to the devil and the negative system of this world. Halleluiah!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ;

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

Confession Brings Us The Blessings Of Salvation - Monday, December 22nd .

Pastor Chris

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).

Our opening verse says you believe with your heart, and are made right with God; however, with the mouth, confession (Greek: homologeo) is made unto salvation. It is your confession that activates and causes the blessings of salvation to be actualized in your life, so don’t be quiet. Speak the Word always.

There’re those who say Christianity is of the heart, so you don’t have to say anything; just keep it in your heart, to yourself. Well, that’s not Christianity! You can’t know the Word of God and be quiet; more so, the Bible says, “with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There’re tremendous blessings in salvation, and to enjoy them, you’ve got to be a talker; a Word-talker.

Salvation is a big word; it encapsulates all the beautiful results of the redemptive work of Christ: salvation, divine life, healing and health, freedom, liberty, preservation, deliverance, etc. These are all in the blessings of salvation; they all came in one package. If perhaps, you’ve been in a mess or have found yourself in some predicament, what you need to do is to confess the Word, and by your confessions, you catapult yourself to the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

It doesn’t matter how deep in the dungeon you find yourself; it doesn’t matter how overwhelming the problem is, confess the Word and you’ll come out victoriously. You might want to ask, “How do I confess the Word?” Confession is your response in agreement with the Word.

For example, you may feel headaches, but what do you say in such a situation? Someone may say, “O, my head is really aching”; that’s the wrong confession. You ought to say, “I have the life of God in me, therefore, every fibre of my being, from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, is vitalized by the Spirit of God that lives in me! I’m healthy and strong.”

You’re not an ordinary person; you’re born of God; you’re born of His Word, and must therefore live by the Word. We’re victorious by the Word on our lips—the words we speak in agreement with God’s Word.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for my glorious life and heritage of greatness in Christ; thank you for making me one with you, and granting me the grace to live victoriously everyday, in health, prosperity, joy, liberty and safety. The power of your Word, and the Holy Spirit in me, puts me over in every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 6:2
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. ;

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

With all due respect Mods/Fellow nairalanders, Nairaland is a platform where great Nigerians from all over the country and beyond come to get useful information. Big business men, politicians, stake holders in different firms and corporations, civil servants, etc surf Nairaland for authentic news.

Seun, why and where did you recruit these new Mods that flod our front page with the most irrelevant topics?

It's saddening, before now, front page articles used to be very great and cool, But now, all we see is Rita Dominic and her tattoos and pics,

I would advise you to wait for already relevant topics to be properly developed first with comments in their respective sections, so that they will be more intellectually appetising before sending them to the front page.

Nairaland is not a place for kids or for youthful exuberance. Let's be serious. If not, you'll loose relevance.

I've spoken the truth from my mind. To ban me for this reason is the most uncivilised and unenlightened thing you can do.
I hope Seun reads this!

“Filled With All The Fullness Of God! - Sunday, December 21st .

Pastor Chris

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

From our opening verse, we understand that it's the will of God that we’re filled with all the fullness of God. Could this be real? Is this truly possible? Emphatically yes! He tells us to be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18), and if you’re filled with the Spirit, you're filled with God, for the Spirit is Himself God!

Imagine every member of the body of Christ being filled with God; not filled with doubt, unbelief or fear, but with God! What an extraordinary life of glory we would all be living! Then you'd understand Christianity as a life of "...joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:cool. Think about God’s people all around the world, going into Church for service, full of the Spirit: joyful, radiant, and exuberant with praise! That’s God’s plan; that’s His will for us—to be replete with His fullness—nothing is left out.

We have something in our day that the prophets and priests of the Old Testament didn’t have: we have the capacity to contain the fullness of God’s Spirit, and be filled with His “maximum load.” The Greek word is “pleroma,” and it means the total or complete content of a vessel in its maximum capacity and entirety. That means everything the Father is, and has, is in you, because He lives in you.

Colossians 1:19 says it pleased the Father that in Jesus should all fullness (“pleroma”) dwell. When you saw Jesus, you saw the totality of Deity. No wonder He could say, “...He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father” (John 14:9). Now, the beauty of it all is that you’re in Him, and He’s in you. Colossians 2:10 says, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” That means there’s nothing of God that’s supposed to be in you that’s not already in you. Your humanity has been supplanted by the life and nature of God. Blessed be God!

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I live everyday conscious that I’m filled with the totality of Deity. Lord, I thank you for my life is continually characterized by victory, success, abundance, and the supernatural, because divinity is at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. ;

A Key To Victorious Living - Saturday, December 20th .

Pastor Chris

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever (Psalm 111:10).

In Matthew 22:29, while in dialogue with the Sadducees, Jesus said to them, “...Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” People make mistakes, and go wrong in their choices and actions, because they lack revelation knowledge of what the Spirit of God can do through the power of God’s Word in their lives. The Word of God is the wisdom of God, and to walk outside the Word is to walk in error.

The accurate teaching of the Word of God is so important. Many Christians around the world are taught God’s Word, but not the accurate teaching of it. This explains why some aren’t living victoriously, because for anyone to live a victorious life, he has to understand the Scriptures first. When the Word is taught accurately, it not only imparts faith to you, but also makes you strong and effective in your walk of faith.

Ephesians 4:11-13 tells us something that the Lord did: He gave the five-fold ministry gifts for the benefit of the Church. Look at it: “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” How important this is! This is why every Christian must be a member of a church where God’s Word is taught, and accurately too.

Christianity is founded on the Word, and sustained by the Word. Therefore, you can only be victorious by the Word. Study the Word by yourself, and for yourself, and make certain to get accurate teaching of the same, so you can increase in knowledge, and be able to deal excellently in the affairs of life as God will have you do.

Confession...
Thank you, Lord, for your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. I live victoriously today because I live by the Word. My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. I experience the glory of the Word today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ;

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The Eyes Of Faith · Friday 19th December·

Pastor Chris

But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7)

In Genesis 15:5, God said to Abraham, "...Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be." You’d notice that God was specific as to what He wanted Abraham to look at. He didn’t say to him, "Look up" or "Look around"; He said, "Look at the stars and see if you can number them." Each time God tells you to look, He gives you what to look at, and usually, He wants you to see with the eyes of faith.

It doesn’t matter how people see you; what matters is how you see yourself: the perception and opinion you’ve formed of yourself, on the basis of what the Word says about you. See "you" with the eyes of God, and live what you see! Don’t look at things from the physical perspective, and form conclusions that are based on sensory perceptions. God doesn’t want you to live that way. He wants you to see from your spirit and make the right judgments.

Before the physical manifestation of the supernatural and glory of God in your life, you must see it first within you. Once you can see it with the eyes of faith, it’s yours. You must first have it within. For example, when God says to you, "I have granted your request," don’t consider the surrounding situation anymore; see and receive it in the spirit first!

See and apprehend your prosperity, health, peace, progress, success, deliverance and the salvation of your friends and family members. Proclaim with your mouth that which you’ve already seen within you—not so they’ll come to pass—but because you know they already exist in the faith-realm.

If you want to have a fruitful walk with the Lord, you have to learn to see and receive with your spirit, and keep your focus on the Word.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for enlightening the eyes of my spirit through your Word, to see and receive every good thing that you’ve made available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in the reality of my inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
[KJV] 2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

[KJV] Matthew 6:22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Hello everyone @Candour, @Goshen, @Bidam, @Frosbel @ Shidemidemi and others. Wishing you all a closer walk with God in tune with His Spirit this season.

@Gombs,
How now? I just saw this mention. Na @Goshen you dey follow argue? Lol. We have had this discuss already long ago and the word of God clearly negates all his philosophies on pre-marital sex so I do not know what you are getting worked up over. grin grin. God ordained sex is for marriage, as long as the man/woman has not be given to you to marry, it is robbery as in prostitution or rape. That is even the physical aspect of the flesh. We have not even considered the higher plane Jesus spoke about which involves sin from the heart by thoughts. Let us use the grace Christ gave us to receive help to abstain.

You even see married couples justifying abortion because they are not ready or they feel it is their decision to make, people looking down on virgins and so on. At the end of the day, everyone will give account.

May we all receive the help of the Lord to give account with gladness and joy.
Thanks so much for this
