This is so interesting... Thanks Donnie.. The healing school in Canada was something else... I mean... When I was watching the video,my mind came to this thread... And I smiled... Why? Because they don't know,neither do they understand, they all walk in darkness, those whom the god of this world has blinded their eyes... Look at what Pastor Karen did in Pakistan... Mind blowing, this is just one of the people Pastor Chris raised. Yet, some holy Christians here with heavenly credentials are yet to change their family and friends... But are quick to show what a fake man of God Pastor Chris is... I smile because the man no send. The sad part is, they (the vast majority of noise makers) have one proof.. Which is the testimony of SirJohn. How terrible! Not all who met with Jesus got healed... It doesn't/didn't mean He was a false Pastor... Pastor Chris' case of course, has to be different...

The Excellent Glory - Tuesday, September 13th . …All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Before Christ came, all men were under the curse of sin, and were therefore subject to condemnation, Satan, sickness, disease, poverty and depravity. This was the consequence of man’s fall in the Garden of Eden. Adam, before the fall, lived in the presence of God. God’s presence was his light; he walked in the presence of God. That connection or relationship was the glory. However, he was cut off from that glory when he listened to Satan and sinned against God. He died spiritually. Spiritual death is separation from God. Thus, through Adam’s transgression, all men died and became separated from the presence—the glory of God. Now, in Christ, the one who’s born again is made alive and awakened to the fatherhood of God. Romans 5:19 lets us know that because all men were made sinners by Adam’s disobedience, likewise, by the obedience of Christ, we’ve been made righteous. We’re no longer separated from the life of God. By virtue of the new birth, Christ has taken up His abode in the quarters of our hearts. Christ isn’t around you, neither is He merely with you; He’s in you: “...Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). The glory that was lost in Adam has been restored in Christ. We’ve been glorified in Christ. Hallelujah! This glory is even greater than what Adam had in the Garden of Eden. It’s greater than the glory of the Old Testament. Our glory in Christ Jesus is “...the glory that excelleth” (2 Corinthians 3:10); the excellent glory (2 Peter 1:17). In the Garden, Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord, walking. But with us, the presence of God isn’t just a voice walking around us; that voice is in you. You house the glory of God. He lives in you—in every fibre of your being, in every cell of your blood, and in every bone of your body. It’s the excellent glory. Hallelujah! Confession... My life is a manifestation of the beauty, radiance and excellence of God, because Christ is in me. Therefore, sickness, disease and infirmities have no place in my body. I’m the carrier, as well as the effulgence of the excellent glory of God, and I continually display the virtues, splendour and perfections of our glorious Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Finish Your Course With Joy - Monday, September 12th Pastor Chris But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24). The Apostle Paul took personal responsibility for the Gospel. The Gospel, to him, was a sacred trust. He affirmed this when he said, “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” (1 Timothy 1:11). In 1 Corinthians 9:16, he affirmed, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” Again, in 1 Timothy 1:12, he declared, “…I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.” Paul’s conviction about the Gospel was absolute. He knew that the Gospel was the power of God for the salvation of all men, and he preached it with fervency. Nothing, and no one, could keep him quiet. He encountered so much opposition in the course of preaching the Gospel, but he remained undeterred. Even when the Holy Spirit expressly testified that he’d suffer severe afflictions and be imprisoned if he went to Jerusalem to preach (Acts 20:23), Paul remained resolute and focused. His response was: “…none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24). Paul was an activist for the Gospel; he’d preach it even if it cost him his life. He was determined to finish his course with joy. This should be your attitude. Never be moved by the problems and the difficulties that you might face in preaching the Gospel. God already knew you’d face those challenges; therefore, not one of such adversities can defeat you if you stand your ground and refuse to quit. Always remember that God counted you faithful and committed the Gospel to your trust. He believes in you. So, like the Apostle Paul, let nothing stop you. Be determined to finish your course with joy. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for energizing me for the work of the Kingdom. I remain undaunted, unmovable, and always joyful for the work ahead. I take advantage of the Word and the blessings of the Spirit, through which I’m trained, strengthened and instructed for a continuous life of victory, success, promotion and greatness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Joshua 23:6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left; Acts 18:9-11 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Let Christ Be Manifested In You-Sunday, September 11 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). The greatest thing that could ever happen to you isn’t only to have and know Jesus Christ, but to also have Him manifested in your life. If you’re sick in your body today, what you need is the manifestation of Christ in that part of your body. The Bible says, “... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:  . When He’s manifested in your life, everything that’s not of God will give way.When Christ is manifested in the life of a sinner, the power of sin is broken, and righteousness takes effect. When He’s manifested in the life of one that’s bound, the chains are broken, and deliverance takes place. Christ is the answer. Christ is all you need. Christ is everything. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Let Him be manifested in you—spirit, soul, and body. Subject your will and emotions to Him, to His Word, and you’ll think the thoughts of God, have the emotions of God, and do the will of God. Then, you can have Him manifested in your physical body. You know, someone can be born again and be blind, lame, sick and afflicted in the body. But if you let Christ manifest Himself in your body, not only will healing result, He’ll vitalize your body and keep it immune to sickness, disease and infirmities. He’ll keep you in divine health. In John 14:21, the Lord Jesus said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” That’s what you need; let Him manifest Himself to you. You don’t need the healing; no, you need the one who heals; the healer Himself. So, give Him your whole spirit, soul and body and your whole life will be full of glory. Hallelujah! Confession... Christ is alive in me; His divine life is manifested in my spirit, soul and body and in every fibre of my being. He’s made me a champion and a victor forever! He is my life; in Him I live and move and have my being! He’s made me a wonder. Glory to God! Further Study: 1 John 1:1-2; That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; [2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us  John 14:23; Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 1 year Bible Reading Plan 2 Corinthians 11:1-15, Proverbs 29-31 2year Bible Reading Plan 2 thessalonians 3:11-18,Jeremiah 29 |

Move From Believing To Faith - Saturday, September 10th . Pastor Chris Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (1 Peter 2:24). Some Christians find themselves having a conflict between what the Word says and their actual experience. For example, they’ve read and believed our opening verse, yet they’ve battled one ailment after the other and now they’re asking, “What am I supposed to do that I’m not doing?” A dear lady asked me a similar question, drawing attention to 2 Corinthians 8:9 that says Jesus was made poor that we might be made rich. Then she asked, “If this is true, how come so many Christians are still poor?” She wanted to know what could be done to make that scripture real in their lives. Here’s what you need to know: When you were born again, you were brought into a life of absolute prosperity, absolute health, strength and victory; it’s been done already. Whether or not you’re enjoying it is your responsibility. The Bible says, “…work out your own salvation…” (Philippians 2:12); meaning that you must live the Word of salvation. Act according to the Word. In Christianity, we do the Word; we’re Word practitioners. You must personalise the Word for yourself and act accordingly. You’re the one to make the Word real in your life. You’re the one to subdue the circumstances around you. You’re the one to subdue the forces that come against you and the symptoms that try to attack you. You’re the one to use the Word to effect changes. Things won’t change by themselves; they won’t change because you believe. Believing isn’t enough; to effect the change you need in any area of your life, you must go from believing to faith! You must fight the good fight of faith. The fight of faith is when you consciously live according to the Word of God, irrespective of the circumstances around you and what your senses tell you. It’s when you insist on the Word and hold on to it as the only reality. Confession... I experience the reality of the Word of God as I meditate on, and live in, the Word! I’m making progress, and circumstances are subdued to conform to the reality of God’s Word for my good. The Word of God has the pre-eminence in my life, and it continually produces in me what it talks about, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised; ) Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Romans 4:19-20 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Daily Scripture Reading 1-Year Bible Reading Plan: 2 Corinthians 10:1-18, Proverbs 27-28 2-Year Bible Reading Plan: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-10, Jeremiah 28 |

Be On The Offensive Against Satan - Friday, September 9th Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). You don’t need to pray, “Oh Lord, make me strong; help me to overcome temptations; help me to stand against the devil.” Such a prayer is unnecessary, because He already told you what to do to stand: “Put on the whole armour of God....” With your armour on, you’ll be able to stand your ground and resist every onslaught from the enemy; you’ll not succumb to fear, irrespective of what happens around you. However, if you don’t put on the armour, it doesn’t matter how intensely you pray; it’ll not work. The instruction is to put on “the whole armour of God,” not some of it. And notice also that it doesn’t say, “So that you may be able to stand against the power of the devil”; that’s because the devil isn’t a factor; he has no power. The new creation is superior to him. The reason you’re to put on the armour of God is for you to be able to stand against “the WILES of the devil,” not his power. The underlined word is “methodeia” in Greek, from where the English got the word, “method.” It refers to the travesties, stratagems, schemes, and manipulations of the devil. When you’re kitted with the whole armour of God, you’ll have the ability to frustrate and nullify these stratagems and deceptive mechanisms of Satan. There’re people who aren’t able to stand when troubles come; life becomes miserable for them. Don’t be that way. The Bible says having done all to stand, stand therefore (Ephesians 6:13-14); in other words, endure to the end. Don’t give in; don’t give up. Wear the devil out. He doesn’t have what it takes to withstand you; resist him and he’ll flee from you. How do you resist him? It’s with the spoken Word; that’s part of your armour; it’s called the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). Use it and the rest of the armour to keep Satan where he belongs—under your feet! Prayer... Dear Father, thank you for the instructions in your Word; they’re life to me. I’m fully kitted with the whole armour of God, steadfast, unwavering, firmly rooted, grounded, and unmovable in the face of staggering opposition or contrary circumstances. I render futile the wiles, tactics, manipulations, and strategies of the devil, with my shield of faith, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Psalm 37:39; But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [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. 1 year Bible Reading Plan 2 Corinthians 8-9, Proverbs 24-26 2 year Bible Reading Plan 2 thessalonians 2:11-17, Jeremiah 27 |

Accepted In The Beloved-Thursday, September 8th . Pastor Chris According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:4-6). God chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before Him in love, and predestined us to be accepted in His presence. It’s part of what His righteousness in our spirits has produced for us; we can boldly stand in the presence of God without guilt, inferiority or condemnation. No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, how deep in the thraldom or valley of sin you’ve been, you’re accepted in Christ Jesus. You don’t have to run from God, because of your sins. Imagine His gracious invitation in Isaiah 1:18; He said, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” He’s not mad at you. Submit to His righteousness. Embrace His love. Trust Him with your life, and He’ll make your life glorious. Now that you’re born again, you’re in Christ; He’s already accepted you; you’re in Him. You dwell in His presence. In His presence, you’re at liberty; you don’t have to be afraid; you’re free to express yourself and be yourself. You’re at liberty to function for Him and live for Him. Some people are still living their lives in hope that God will accept them based on their good works. But that’s not going to work! The Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Furthermore, Galatians 2:16 says, “...by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”; that means accepted and declared righteous before God! You don’t have to feel insecure or uncertain about your standing with God. Be bold, confident, assured and glad that you belong to Him; that He brought you into oneness with Himself. Hallelujah! Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for choosing me before the foundation of the world that I should be holy, blameless and accepted in your presence, according to the good pleasure of your will. I function in the consciousness and boldness that I’m justified and have peace with you, enjoying an indissoluble oneness with you, to the praise and glory of your grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: 1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Psalm 4:3-5 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

You Must Belong In A Local Church - Wednesday, September 7th . Pastor Chris Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1). Sometimes, you ask some Christians which church they attend and they say, “I don’t belong to any church. I fellowship wherever I want to; wherever the Spirit leads me.” That’s sad. It’s a show of spiritual immaturity and instability to have such a mind-set. Any Christian who says he or she doesn’t believe in being a member of a local church, is in error, and under the spell of Satan. We’re clearly admonished in the Scriptures not to forsake the gathering of the saints; our church meetings: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25). These are the last days, and our opening verse says men shall give heed to “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” Some people think “seducing spirits” are spirits that seduce men and women in lustful desire, but “seducing spirits,” according to the Scriptures, are spirits that try to lure people out of the Gospel; they lure people away from the truth of the Word. These spirits are working in many people today who go about deceiving others, telling them they don’t have to be members of a local church to serve God. Some have even written books inspired by Satan to convince Christians not to belong in any church, or to lure them from the church into another gospel. Therefore, beware of them; be wise. Even in regions where there’s hostility against the message of the Gospel, Christians still find time and opportunity to meet. The Church is the ground and pillar of truth; it’s the place where you’re taught the truth—God’s Word that puts you over in life. Personal Bible study and prayer are very healthy and must be embraced by all Christians, but it must not take the place of corporate worship—the assembly of ourselves together. You have to be in the house of God so you can hear the Word, grow spiritually, and participate effectively in the work and ministry of the Church. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to fellowship with you and with other believers, and the grace to be vitally involved and committed in spiritual activities organized in the local assembly. I’m blessed to partake of that corporate unction that transforms my life, and makes me more effective in the work of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Acts 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. || Acts 2:41-47 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. || Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

His Righteousness In Your Spirit - Tuesday, September 6th . Pastor Chris For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Righteousness is a gift from God; you don’t qualify for it. When you were born again, you were born righteous, with the nature of God—the nature of righteousness. Religion teaches that if a man would live right, then God would qualify him to be a righteous person, but that’s not true. It’s a contradiction. No one can live righteously, until He’s first made righteous by God. God’s righteousness in your spirit is what gives you the ability to live right. That is why in Christianity, what God does is to first make you righteous, before He’d be justified to expect you to live right. The Bible says Jesus Christ died on account of our offences, and was raised back to life for our justification (Romans 4:25). Justification means to declare righteous. When a man receives Christ, he receives a new life, and is as one who has never existed before: a new creation in Christ. This new life isn’t characterized by sin. This new life is superior to sin, the devil, death and hell. This new life is the life of righteousness; now you can live a righteous life. The reason men sin is because they’re sinners by nature. That nature is supplanted by God’s nature of righteousness when a man is born again. Because you’re born again, sin no longer has dominion over you; it becomes natural for you to live right and fulfil the will of the Father, for His righteousness is in your spirit. Confession... I’m crucified with Christ; it’s no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. His righteousness in my spirit is expressed on the outside; it’s natural for me to live right and fulfil the will of the Father, because of His righteousness in my spirit. Further Study: Romans 3:20-22 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Heaven must have missed sending me one. If there is a part where God was casting people away for not believing in (lying)signs and wonders, pls show me. And put the devil to shame!John 14 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. If you deny these signs, you deny the fact that God is in Pastor Chris, and Pastor Chris in God... That's gonna be a lot of explanation for you to do on that day o.  Let's assume some Ce miracles are real, and i, a sinner loved and chosen by the sovereign will of God, saved by grace in time and having the righteousness of Jesus, doubt their authenticity, will i be cast away? HELL NO!You're making the power of God of no effect by your lifestyle. Why would god love and chose you, then tell you to doubt what is His? Dose it make sense? You know who would be cast away!? The one that believes every miracle and puts his trust in signs and wonders, like you, donnie and joagbaje and the multitudes of zombies are doing, the one who considers the righteousness of Jesus a minor thing. It is he that would be cast away!Noted madam secretary Donnie even had the liver to quote the bible he does not understand. What foolishness!You're yet to quote any you understand, Madam secretary. How can a man dare dissociate his brain from spiritual things. Madam secretary, you're carnal. The brains cannot explain a miracle... Oya, epp.me explain the splitting of the red sea... Or the opening of blind eyes. Bible already said the carnal mind CANNOT accept the things of God. You're fulfilling scriptures. That man would be swayed by even the dumbest and most stup1d doctrine out there. Even children will stare at the legendary of his stupidity in awe.I'm yet to see you start a thread on any wonderful topic o, never seen any scriptural sound discourse you partook in, yet... You're yet claiming Madam doctrine. I ask again, what have you done with the gospel of Jesus? Are you so dumb!!? And your soul so dark that you would (not even try) separate God from logic.Miracles cannot be reasoned logically... Please, can you explain Lazarus, the red Sea, the fishes and Peter, the wine at the wedding. If men see things of the spirit (that you know nothing about) as foolishness, do you blame the scriptures or God's gift to man; the ability to reason?? Or you blame the man?Madam secretary, I blame the god of this world, who's blinded their eyes. how can man who is so consumed in self worship and lust, make sense of anything outside his personal glory?Thank you madam Secretary, your opinions are duly noted. 1 Like |

See With His Light - Sunday, September 4th Pastor Chris Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13). Our opening text states your present position in the presence of God. You’re located there now.You’ve been translated from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. That’s where you live, and that’s the perspective from which you should see everything in life. You’re not weak or poor. You’re loaded and sufficient in all things; you have everything you’ll ever require for life and godliness.See You’re a success and you’re moving from glory to glory. See the glory of God on your life, and refuse to see things from another perspective. The Bible says, “Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God” (Psalm 87:3). Live in the reality of who you are in Christ. God’s Word is light; use His light to see the glorious things that He’s spoken concerning you. When an X-ray is turned on you, it has no consideration for whatever is placed under it; it’s directed straight to your bones. In the same way, the Word of God is directed to the human spirit. When the Word of God tells you something, it’s according to the light of God; how God sees it. For example, in Revelation 2:9, Jesus said to the Church in Smyrna, “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) ….”The people might have been living in penury, but Jesus said they were rich. You may be reading this and you’re in debt, but if you’re a child of God, you’re rich. That’s exactly how God sees you in the Word—rich! All the time you were waiting on Him to “do something” so you could pay your rent, He was actually expecting you to rise up to who you are. He’s not aware that you’re broke or poor, because whenever He looks at you, He sees an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ; the possessor of all things. See with His light, and you’ll discover that what you thought was an impediment has no foundation. See with His light and you’ll always be at peace, because all you see will be solutions and your inevitable victories. Hallelujah! Confession... I’m in the light of God; I see with, and by that light! I’m what He says I am, and I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do. He’s given me all things freely to enjoy. And I’m living from a position of rest, knowing that I’m a joint-heir with Christ.

Set Your Faith On Course . Saturday, September 3rd . Pastor Chris 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 (2 Corinthians 4:18). God loves you and cares about you, regardless of the challenges and difficulties you may be facing right now. He always wants to see you win and live happy every day. Jesus said, “...In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Never allow anything get you frustrated; train your faith. Tell yourself, “Against hope, I believe in hope that all things are working together for my good” (Romans 8:28). The triumphant life is yours in Christ Jesus; refuse to settle for less. Things might not exactly be going as you’ve expected, but maintain your confession of the Word. Don’t accept defeat and don’t give in to sickness or anything that hurts. Don’t say, “I’ve been infected,” just because you noticed some symptoms in your body. Faith doesn’t consider the symptoms or circumstances. Faith considers the Word. Symptoms or the doctor’s diagnosis shouldn’t change your confession. Keep the Word in your mouth. It doesn’t matter how you feel or the figures in your bank statement; it doesn’t change who you are. Refuse to be rated by your circumstances. The things you see with your physical eyes are subject to change. Therefore, set your faith on course. Your faith is your currency; and with it, nothing shall be impossible to you. Every adversity you face is your opportunity to experience and manifest the glory of God: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17). No matter what you go through in life, it’ll turn out for your good, as long as you turn your eyes away from the conditions or circumstances, to the Word. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith….” He perfects your faith; therefore, never give up. Don’t say, “The trouble was too much, and so I gave up”; no, take on the shield of faith. With your faith, you can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Your faith is a shield; use it. CONFESSION Blessed be God, who gives me the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, and has made me more than a conqueror. I live triumphantly today, and always, fulfilling God’s dream and bringing glory to His Name. Hallelujah! Further Study: || James 2:17-22 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? || || Romans 4:17-21 (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. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. || Daily Scripture Reading 1-Year Bible Reading Plan: 2 Corinthians 1-2:1-4, Proverbs 12-13 2-Year Bible Reading Plan: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8, Jeremiah 21 EXTRACT FROM: Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional |

Think Differently - Friday, September 2nd . Pastor Chris Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward (Hebrews 10:35). It’s the ninth month of the year 2016—our “Year of Spreading.” Perhaps, you might have been troubled and saying in your heart, “Lord, I still have goals and things I want to do. I want to receive more money for this, and for that; now the year is almost coming to an end.” Don’t think that way with God. Stay in eternity. Live in eternity. Think differently. Don’t “push” God like natural men do. Live with Him in His realm of life. Don’t get under the pressure. When you get under pressure because of what you want to accomplish within a certain time, you become a slave to time. Don’t let that happen to you. Time should be a slave to you. Psalm 37:4-5 says, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Nothing is too difficult for, or impossible with, the Lord; He’s the great God. He said in Jeremiah 32:27, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” His greatness is beyond description. His power is limitless. Trust Him, and trust His ability. He can do for you in a second, what naturally should have taken you ten years to achieve. Within the last part of this year, you can receive anything that you desire of Him. Jesus said in John 16:24, “…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” He wants your joy to be full; therefore, keep your faith active; ask and receive. Stand firm; stay strong. Believe and keep affirming the Word even in the face of staggering oppositions. Never give up, for faith always wins. Confession... I refuse to be under the pressure, for the Lord is my salvation, and upon Him, I’ve cast all my cares, living the transcendent life, and enjoying peace with prosperity. My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. The Lord my God is my sufficiency, my refuge, my glory and my strength; He’s my all. Hallelujah! Further Study: Matthew 6:31-32 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek  for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

No Lack Or Want - Thursday, September 1st Pastor Chris But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Paul understood the message of the new creation; notice that he didn’t say, “My God shall supply all our need….” He knew that the new creation isn’t in lack or want; the new creation doesn’t need to be “supplied”; he’s the supplier! Romans 8:17 says we’re heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. Paul, with this understanding, said to the spiritually immature, “But my God shall supply all your need….” When you’ve come of age, you’ll realize that in Christ, we don’t have any unmet needs. Matthew 6:33 says, “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” When you seek the Kingdom of God first, every good thing you could ever wish for would be added to your life, without you having to ask. You won’t need to try to be happy, fulfilled or triumphant in life; you won’t need to pursue the things that the Gentiles seek: fame, money, recognition, acceptance, etc.; they shall be added unto you. This doesn’t mean that after you’ve first sought and got the Kingdom of God, then you can go and seek other things; no. Seek the Kingdom, and you’ll get the rest of them combined. You may say, “Yeah, that’s why I’m seeking the Kingdom of God.” No, don’t seek anymore; you already found it, if you’re born again; you’re already in the Kingdom, and the Kingdom is in you (Luke 17:21). To have the Kingdom is to have all things. Glory to God! Don’t look at what you may consider a need; look at what He’s lavishly made available to you in Christ. You were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ; that means you’ve been brought into oneness, partnership or family-union with Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9). If this is true (and it is true), what in the world could you ever be in need of? Affirm God’s Word in your life; He has said all things are yours; declare the same, because truly, there’s nothing you require that hasn’t been provided in Christ. Hallelujah! Confession... I testify that all things are mine! I lack nothing, because the Lord is my sufficiency; He makes me lie down in green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters! His divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. Glory to His Name forever!

Rhapsody of Realities Teevo Wednesday, August 31st 2016 Pastor Chris GROW UP! (Mature In The Spirit And Take Charge) TO THE BIBLE: Galatians 4:1-2 “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. LET’S TALK Notice that the scripture above doesn’t say, “the heir, when he is a child”; rather, it says, “the heir, as long as he is a child....” The reference isn’t to an infant in terms of age; the Apostle Paul is dealing with maturity here. The word “child” is translated from the Greek “népios,” which means someone who’s a “child mentally and spiritually, that is, a child in understanding, wisdom, and, most importantly, communication--one who hasn’t yet learnt to communicate rightly. Secondly, the word translated “servant” means “slave.” Thus, an heir, as long as he’s a “népios” (immature) is no different from a slave, though he owns the entire inheritance. He’ll be buffeted by the crises and adversities of life until he comes to maturity and learns to exercise dominion over circumstances and negative forces. True, the Lord Jesus has saved us and made us one with Himself. He’s brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light, and made us associates of the God-kind. We’re heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). However, until and unless these and other results of His vicarious sacrifice on your behalf become your present-hour consciousness, you’ll live as a victim in life. God’s will for you is to live triumphantly every day by His Word and through the power of the Holy Spirit. No wonder He says, “…grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…” (2 Peter 3:18). He wants you to come up to maturity so you can tame circumstances and exercise dominion over satan, sickness, defeat, sin, poverty, and all the works of darkness. He wants you to control your life and circumstances through His Word; that’s His will and grace for your life. So, grow up, be in charge, and in control! GO DEEPER Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; :12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: :13 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: :14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. :7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. PRAY Dear Father, I thank you for teaching, equipping, strengthening and training me in righteousness to live in victory and dominion over the elements of this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Maintain Your Confession Of The Word . Wednesday, August 31st . Pastor Chris 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… (Isaiah 43:2). When you study God’s Word, the economic problems and upheavals in the world today wouldn’t be a surprise to you. The socio-economic conditions in our world today must not dictate the circumstances of our existence. They must not control our faith in the Word of God. The Bible says those who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits (Daniel 11:32). As a child of God, the troubles in the world are not set against you. Your prosperity is independent of inflation, economic meltdowns and downturns. You’re not of this world. You’re the seed of Abraham. Refuse to fret or be anxious, for if you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small (Proverbs 24:10). The Lord is your strength. Remain strong in Him and in the power of His might. Read what He says about you in the times of dryness, scarcity, and crises: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7- . Glory to God! Let this be your testimony today and always, because it’s God’s Word concerning you. You’re a victor and a success in Christ Jesus, regardless of the crises and adversities in today’s world. The darkness isn’t about to go away, for the Bible says, “...behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people”; but the scripture didn’t stop there; it continues, “…but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:2). In the midst of the darkness, you’ll shine brightly. Actually, the darker the night, the more brightly your light will shine. Therefore, rejoice, because the Lord your God is your prosperity. There’s no failure for you; so there’s no need to fear. Maintain your composure, and your confession of the Word. PRAYER Dear Father, you’re my refuge and my shield; I put my trust in you alone, knowing that in you I have life and all that I require to live triumphantly to the glory of your Name. I live above the economies and economics of this world; I’m prospering and making progress from glory to glory through the Word, and power of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: || Joshua 1:8-9 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest. || || Hebrews 13:5 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support.

Beware Of Evil Communication - Tuesday, August 30th Pastor Chris Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33). Through the Word of God we’re trained and cultured with good manners and godly behaviour, but some people can corrupt your good character through their unwholesome and perverse communication. Evil communication corrupts good manners. Any communication that negates, rejects or challenges the authority of God’s Word is an evil communication. Therefore, beware of such. The Bible says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20). Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” The wrong company can influence you to do the wrong things. For instance, the Bible says, “Show respect to the aged; honour the presence of an elder…” (Leviticus 19:32 MSG). Ephesians 6:2 says, “Honour your father and mother.” Imagine that you have a friend who says you don’t have to do it. That’ll be an ungodly counsel. The Word says, “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). But your friend says, “Must you pray all the time?” The Word tells you to not neglect church meetings, but your friend says otherwise. Don’t follow his ungodly counsel, but do the Word always. In 1 Corinthians 5:11 GNB, the Bible says, “…you should not associate with a person who calls himself a believer but is immoral or greedy or worships idols or is a slanderer or a drunkard or a thief. Don’t even sit down to eat with such a person.” It parallels the Spirit’s admonition in Philippians 3:2, to beware of dogs, evil workers, and manipulators. It’s a stern warning from the Lord. When you see an inscription on someone’s gate that reads, “Beware of dogs,” they’re warning you of the dogs inside; not the ones outside. Also, when it says beware of “evil workers,” the Greek rendering actually means “mischief makers”; mischievous people. The Bible wouldn’t warn you of such people if they weren’t dangerous. Therefore, if someone, whom you may even respect, tells you something you know isn’t consistent with the Word, you shouldn’t accept it. Be guided by the Word in all you do, and your life will glorify God. Prayer... Dear Father, I walk in the prearranged paths which you made ready for me before the foundations of the world. I’m guided by your Spirit to walk in wisdom and understanding, filled with the thoughts of righteousness. I’m guided and regulated by the Word, today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Psalm 1:1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Matthew 5:29-30 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. Psalm 26:4-5 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

One is on in Canada now, and funny enough... These white folks get healed... Take interviews, even with the hospital who once gave their diagnosis... Even interviews with neighbors who knew these healed ones in their previous state. No one person has sued them for scam healing... Except those here, in the court of popular opinion!
