THEME: THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR IDENTITY

THEME SCRIPTURE: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9).

The Word declares that we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God’s own purchased special people. You’re special. You’re born of God; therefore, you’re taxonomically different from the unregenerate man. You have the organic and existential attributes of deity. You’re of a divine origin. This is your identity in Christ.

God created you to set forth His wonderful deeds and display His virtues and perfections, His glory and His excellence in the earth. He called you out of darkness into His marvellous light, to reveal Him to your world. What’s more? You’re His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21); you’re the proof of His equity. Blessed be God!

It’s important for you to know these and other truths about your identity in Christ so you can walk accordingly. You need to know who you truly are, and the best way for you to know is to study God’s Word. The Word, particularly the Epistles, are the album of the new creation in Christ.

Through the Word you see and know yourself, you know the substance and character of your human spirit. In Christ, we’re of a different spirit. We’re gracious, loving, affectionate and kind. We’re royalty. Consider again what we read in our opening scripture; it unveils who you are, what you have, and what you can do in Christ.

When the revelation of your identity dawns on your spirit, it becomes your consciousness. You’ll speak boldly and act confidently in line with the Word, resulting in testimonies, victories, unending joy, and peace with prosperity. The knowledge of your identity and heritage in Christ puts springs in your steps. It causes you to walk in His righteousness and dominion always. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I'm God’s peculiar treasure; holy, righteous, sanctified and justified. I walk in the consciousness of my royal identity and I manifest the virtues and perfections of Christ to my world. God’s Word is my life; therefore, excellence, triumph and unending joy are the hallmarks of my life. I walk in the full blessings of the Gospel of Christ. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
1 Peter 2:9 AMPC But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own [a]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.

Ephesians 2:10 AMPC For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

THEME: THE ULTIMATE BLESSING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

THEME SCRIPTURE: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law…That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13-14).

The latter part of what we just read helps us to understand that the ultimate blessing of Abraham wasn’t diamonds, gold, land, or cattle; it was the Spirit. Through Jesus Christ, the promise of the Spirit has now come to us who believe. He lives in us, works through us, walks in us, and empowers us daily. This is the greatest treasure of the New Testament; the Holy Spirit in you!

He’s the seal of our inheritance, the proof that we belong to God. He’s not a shadow or a force; He’s a divine Person who walks with you and lives in you. His presence is what makes the Christian life supernatural, victorious and exciting. You need to be more aware of His power that’s at work within you.

Ephesians 1:19-20 talks about the exceeding greatness of His mighty power at work in you: “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead….” Hallelujah! There’s no need to pray for power, strength, or wisdom because the Holy Spirit, who is Himself wisdom, strength, and the source of all power and divine guidance, is already resident in you.

You’re never without help. The same Spirit that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead lives in you. This is the fulfilment of God’s eternal plan. The prophets longed to see it. The patriarchs anticipated it. But you’re living it: “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26-27).

Christianity without the Holy Spirit is religion. But with Him, it’s a divine adventure. He makes the Word come alive, fills your prayer with power, and transforms you from glory to glory. Acknowledge Him. Yield to Him, and fellowship with Him always. He’s the ultimate blessing of the New Testament.

PRAYER
Righteous Father, thank you for the blessing of the Holy Spirit who lives in me, strengthens me, leads me, and guides me to walk in supernatural wisdom, power and dominion. And by His mighty power at work in me, I’m effective in soul winning and my faith prevails always. Your love, grace and blessings are manifested in and revealed through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[a] is the [b]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Romans 8:11 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.

John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

THEME: A SWORN DECLARATION OF BLESSING

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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 toAbraham, “...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.

FURTHER STUDY:
Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: [3] And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Galatians 3:8-9 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.

Hebrews 6:13-14 NIV When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.

THEME: NO SUCH THING AS LACK

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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 are 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!

CONFESSION
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.

FURTHER STUDY:
2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

THEME: RICH IN CHRIST

THEME SCRIPTURE: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).

The Word of God is clear: poverty is not from God; therefore, you should never accept the message of poverty. Poverty is inconsistent with our divine nature and heritage in Christ. The Bible shows clearly that the Lord Jesus became poor, in contrast to His true wealth, for one purpose: that you might become rich.

That’s what we read in our opening scripture. It wasn’t referring to spiritual riches; the Lord Jesus was never poor spiritually. The context is financial and material blessings. He laid aside all that belonged to Him so that through His substitutionary work, you would come into prosperity and financial abundance.

Some may say that God isn’t interested in making His children rich, but the Word already declares His will. In Christ, you’re an heir of God. All things are yours. Some may choose not to enjoy them, but they should never claim that poverty is God’s plan. The blessing of God brings prosperity, supply, and supernatural advantage.

Let’s for a moment review and ponder the magnitude of what belongs to us, our riches in Christ, as stated in Ephesians 3:8. Paul, by the Spirit, writes, “To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out]” (AMPC).

Our riches are unsearchable, beyond quantification, exhaustless, boundless, and incalculable. This is the kind of wealth you’ve been called to enjoy. It’s Kingdom wealth—superior to earthly economics—and it’s yours now in Christ Jesus. Therefore, refuse to think lack. Refuse to talk scarcity. Live with the consciousness of your divine inheritance.

Every so often, say to yourself, “I have unsearchable riches in Christ. All things are mine. I walk in abundance, and I give lavishly into the Gospel for the advancement of the Kingdom.” Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the unsearchable riches of Christ that belong to me. I walk in divine supply, abundance, and I’m empowered to give, to bless, and to cause the Gospel to spread everywhere. I reject lack and embrace the fullness of your provision, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Ephesians 3:8 GNT I am less than the least of all God's people; yet God gave me this privilege of taking to the Gentiles the Good News about the infinite riches of Christ,

THEME: FULLNESS OF THE BLESSINGS OF CHRIST

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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
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.

THEME: CULTIVATING THE RIGHT MINDSET

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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 (Romans 12:2).

Oftentimes, the challenges that people face are a result of their mindset. What’s a mindset? A mindset is a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's responses and interpretations regarding any given situation. It’s an established way of thinking that governs how one behaves.

Being born again, you have the wisdom of the righteous, but you have to nurture it through the Word. As you continuously study and meditate on the Word, your mind is cultured to reason the Christ-way. You’re programmed aright for life, victory and fruitfulness.

However, your environment also plays a critical role. A wrong environment, saturated with negativity and worldly influences, will eventually shape your mindset. When you remain in an atmosphere where sickness, poverty, weakness, or defeat dominate conversations, those ideas may begin to influence your thinking.

That’s because humans are constantly being programmed by the things they hear, see, and those amongst whom they live. The way you are today is a result of the programming you received over the past years of your life. Your environment and the kind of information that you accepted contributed to your present mentality.

This is why choosing the right spiritual environment is essential, an environment where your mind is continually influenced and renewed by God’s Word. Romans 12:1-2 shows us the process: present your body to God as a living sacrifice, and then transform your mind. Let the Word of God replace your old way of thinking; exchange your thoughts for God’s thoughts.

Suddenly, you’ll discover that certain thoughts and expressions no longer align with who you are; you’ve accepted God’s way of thinking and allowed His Word to frame your mindset, resulting in a metamorphosis—a complete change of your state and estate. This transformation enables you to prove and live out God’s perfect will, because your thoughts align with His.

CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for granting me the mindset of the righteous through your Word. My thoughts align with your truth. I refuse worldly conformity; my mind is continually renewed to think excellence, victory and possibilities, and to prove and live out your perfect will, because my thoughts align with yours. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 12:1-2 NKJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

THEME: DISCERN AND ESCHEW THE WRONG THOUGHTS

THEME SCRIPTURE: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry… (1 Samuel 15:23).

The word witchcraft used in 1 Samuel 15:23 specifically refers to divination, a form of spiritual manipulation that God forbids. However, this is not the only kind of witchcraft mentioned in the Bible. In 2 Chronicles 33, we are introduced to King Manasseh, a ruler who led Judah into terrible idolatry and demonic practices.

2 Chronicles 33:1-6 says, “Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen…And he caused his children to pass through the fire… also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft….”

In the passage above, another Hebrew word is used for “witchcraft,” which primarily refers to whispering spells, practices that involve the use of words and thoughts to manipulate spiritual forces. Nonetheless, witchcraft, in its various forms, is often about the work of demons. But one key aspect is whispering spells, which involve sending spirits through words and thoughts.

These spells are communicated via spoken words with spiritual intent, designed to summon or dispatch demons. What’s particularly remarkable is that these demonic whispers often arrive as thoughts. They reach people as internal prompts, seemingly harmless at first. But remember, words are thoughts clothed in vocabulary.

So, be quick to reject the wrong thoughts. Not every thought is from God, and not every thought you have originated from your own mind. Thoughts can come from multiple sources: from God, from your own mind, and from demons. That’s why it’s crucial to inundate your heart and mind with the Word of God.

Only through the discerning power of the Holy Spirit, combined with knowledge of the Word, can you distinguish between divine thoughts and demonic whispers. The Bible instructs us to test every spirit (1 John 4:1). You must be vigilant to examine the source of every thought and impression.

It’s part of the reason you must give yourself wholly to the Word (1 Timothy 4:15); let it dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16). With a deep knowledge of God's Word and the leading of His Spirit, you’ll discern and reject the wrong thoughts and influences and embrace only the right ones.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word and the gift of the Spirit. My heart is guarded with truth and wisdom to reject every thought that’s contrary to your Word, your will, and your destiny for my life. I walk in spiritual discernment and in the clarity and light of your Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Romans 12:2 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.

THEME: THE WONDER OF WONDERS

THEME SCRIPTURE: What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (John 6:62).

Did you know that the biological siblings of the Lord Jesus didn’t believe in Him throughout His earthly ministry, even after His resurrection? But when He ascended before their very eyes, everything changed. The ascension was an undeniable confirmation of His divine origin and identity. It was the wonder of wonders.

He had told the Jews that His ascension would be the proof of who He truly was when they questioned His claim to be the Son of God. He said to them, “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?” (John 6:62). He pointed them to the ascension as an unmistakable evidence of His deity.

After the resurrection, some disciples still doubted. But on the day of His ascension, and they watched as He suddenly levitated and was taken up into heaven in full view, they had no more argument. Every mouth was stopped. What a moment! The One who was crucified and buried, the very One they thought was dead, ascended bodily into heaven!

This was when His siblings believed that He was the Christ. They didn’t return home. They followed the disciples to the upper room and received the Holy Spirit, including Mary, their biological mother (read Acts 1:9-14).

Suddenly, they realised the One who ate with them, and lived under the same roof with them, was God Himself. His ascension seals His deity and assures us of His return. This was the wonder of wonders and remains a vital part of the Gospel and the Faith that we hold so dear.

PRAYER
How glorious you are, O Lord! My faith in you is eternal, for you’re the only true God, proven by your resurrection from the dead and glorious ascension into heaven, where you live forevermore. I proclaim your majesty and live with the consciousness that you reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Acts 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. [10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; [11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

THEME: HE IS LORD JESUS

THEME SCRIPTURE: And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last (Revelation 1:17).

To walk with the Lord Jesus and truly serve Him, you must know who He really is. You can’t honour Him if you don’t know Him. You can’t love Him if you don’t know Him. Oftentimes, the way some call His Name reveals whether or not they truly recognise His divine identity and supreme lordship.

For example, after His resurrection and ascension, no one who addressed Him called Him Jesus; they called Him Lord Jesus. He’s Lord Jesus! That’s what those who truly encountered Him called Him. Consider Saul of Tarsus; he was knocked down by divine power on the road to Damascus and said, “Who are you, Lord?”

The moment he heard the answer, “I am Jesus”, his reverence changed because he had a real encounter. Read it as Luke puts it: "And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" (Acts 9:4-5).

Many say they have seen Him, yet continue to address Him without reverence. A true encounter with the glorified Christ transforms how you speak to Him or about Him. You recognise His majesty. You honour His lordship. John the Apostle saw Him in glory on the Isle of Patmos, and his response was recorded in Revelation 1:17: “...When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead....” He fell under the power, because of the manifestation of divine glory. Then the Master laid His hand upon him and spoke a blessing: “Fear not; I am the first and the last.” This is the glorified Christ.

Your worship, your words, and your life should reflect the greatest honour, the deepest awe, and the utmost reverence for Him. He is “…the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:13-14). He’s Lord of all, and Lord of heaven and earth (Acts 10:36, Acts 17:24).

PRAYER
Blessed Lord Jesus, I thank you for unveiling your lordship and glory to my spirit. My worship, my words, and my life reflect the greatest honour, the deepest awe, and the utmost reverence for your majesty, unparalleled greatness, dominion, great glory, and everlasting reign. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

THEME SCRIPTURE: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20)

Many imagine that if they saw the Lord Jesus in person, they’d instantly recognise Him as the Son of God and love Him immediately. But that’s for those of us in whom the love of God already abounds by the Holy Ghost through the New Birth. When you study the Bible, you’d discover that many of those who saw Him physically when He walked the earth didn’t believe in Him.

John 1:11 says, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” Even with His miracles and teachings, He was rejected by the religious leaders of His day. Isaiah prophesied of Him, saying, “…when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:2).

He didn’t walk with an aura or physical glow that distinguished Him from others. Yet, He was a hundred per cent God. When He was arrested, Judas had to identify Him among the disciples with a kiss. They couldn’t tell Him apart by appearance.

This is why the Pharisees and scribes argued with Him when He declared Himself the Son of God. They questioned His origin, saying they didn’t know where He was from. They dismissed Him and called Him a sinner, refusing to accept His divine identity. Even the man born blind, who testified to being healed by Jesus, was reviled and ridiculed for believing in Him (John 9:24-28).

More surprisingly, His own siblings didn’t believe in Him either (John 7:5) until His ascension to heaven. They didn’t recognize the glory in the One they grew up with. At His crucifixion, while His mother was present, His brothers and sisters were nowhere to be found. They didn’t stand by Him. They didn’t defend Him. Yet, the Lord Jesus was everything He declared Himself to be. He was eternal life in a human body. He was God’s love tabernacled in flesh, the very expression of the Father.

Their unbelief didn’t change who He was. And today, the world’s opinions don’t define Him. He is the great God of glory, the Christ, the Lord God almighty, God of heaven and earth. He is the true God and eternal life: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for unveiling the person of the Lord Jesus to my heart—who He is—the great God, and eternal life. I behold Him in the Word and by the Spirit, acknowledging His Lordship, His deity, and His love. His life and nature are in me. I proclaim Him boldly to my world, and many believe through my witness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 1:10-12 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Titus 2:13-14 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; [14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

THEME: DOMINION OVER FEAR OF DEATH

THEME SCRIPTURE: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews 2:14-15).

The scripture above is as clear as it is emphatic: the Lord Jesus has completely destroyed the one who had the power of death, the devil, and delivered humanity from the fear of death. He didn’t come to give us a partial victory. His work wasn’t unfinished or incomplete. He fully defeated Satan who had the power of death.

2 Timothy 1:10 says, He "…abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." He replaced death with life and deathlessness. Hallelujah! This is the message of faith. This is the Word of the Gospel: death has been abolished.

Consider the early apostles; they didn’t die because they grew old or weak. The Scriptures reveal that their departure from this world was consistent with their specific calling and choice to seal the message of the Gospel with their blood. They laid down their lives; death had no power over them.

The Christian life is the transcendent life, not a slow succumbing to death, corruption or decay. You were not designed to “wear out.” The life of God in you is incorruptible; it’s divine; it’s ageless. It doesn’t diminish or deteriorate. You’re in the death-free and fear-free zone. Live in Christ’s victory every day: fearless, strong and full of life. Praise God!

CONFESSION
I’m fearless and bold, living in the consciousness that the Lord Jesus has abolished death and brought me into life and immortality. I walk in strength, health and glory. I live in Christ’s victory: fearless, strong and full of life. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

2 Timothy 1:10 NIV but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

1 Corinthians 15:54-55 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

THEME: THE LAW OF LIFE

THEME SCRIPTURE: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).

Many have struggled with the underlined expression in our opening scripture as though "the law of sin and death" is one combined law. But in the context of Romans 7 and 8, death itself is not a law. There’s the law of sin, and there’s death as a consequence. The actual rendering is: “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin, and from death.”

In chapter 7, Paul emphasises the law of sin that was at work in him before Christ, and he also speaks of death separately. When he comes into chapter 8, verse 2, he shows that the superior law—the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus—has liberated you from both the law of sin and from death.

You no longer live under the principles of this world that govern those who are outside Christ, who are subject to death, decadence and corruption. You live by the law of life. This is why you must refuse to harbour the fear of death. The life of God in you is not subject to death. You have passed from death unto life (John 5:24).

Refuse the language, thoughts and expectations of those who are still under the fear of death. Declare boldly that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is working in every fibre of your being, in every cell of your blood, in every bone of your body. Glory to God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This law is at work in me, energising my body, renewing my mind, and propelling me in the path of righteousness and glory. I am free from the law of sin and from death; I walk in life, health, victory and dominion every day. I refuse fear, and I live boldly in the reality of your finished work in Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 8:10-11 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.

2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

THEME: ALIGN YOUR WORDS WITH HIS WORD

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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.

THEME: SEPARATED BY THE SPIRIT

THEME SCRIPTURE: Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts (2 Corinthians 1:22).

1 Corinthians 6:11 reveals something extraordinary about the new creation; it says, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” I want you to notice the underlined word “sanctified”: it means you’ve been separated or set apart by the Spirit.

You’ve been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. That seal is a spiritual mark that identifies you as God's own possession. In the realm of the spirit, you carry a divine signature. This Holy Spirit is also described as the earnest (the down payment or deposit) of our inheritance.

That means God has given you the Holy Spirit as proof that everything He promised in Christ is already yours. If He gave you His Spirit, He has given you access to everything else. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is God saying, “You’re mine. You’re distinguished. You’re recognized in the heavens.” Angels see that mark. Demons recognize it. Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 says, “Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” This separation is not one of isolation but of distinction. It means you have God’s approval, His authority, and His protection.

You’re set apart from sin, fear, sickness and poverty into a new life of righteousness, peace and dominion. You’re not like the world. You’re in Christ, and Christ is in you. His presence in you is your assurance of victory in this world and your guarantee of eternal glory: “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). Hallelujah! Live in the consciousness of this truth.

CONFESSION
I am sealed and separated by the Holy Spirit from sin, danger and death unto righteousness, peace, prosperity, victory, glory and immortality. I live in the consciousness of His presence, guidance and power. I’m distinguished for greatness and walk in the fullness of my inheritance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

THEME: LIVING BEYOND ANXIETY

THEME SCRIPTURE: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you (1 Peter 5:7).

The Word of God gives us clear instructions for living. For example, 1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” What a truth this is! God doesn’t want you burdened with the cares of this life. He tells you to cast every one of them on Him: your worries, anxieties, and concerns.

TheAmplified Classic makes this even clearer. It says, “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully” (1 Peter 5:7 AMPC). Act on the Word; refuse to worry about your children, your family, your job, your finances, or your future.

There’re people who, if they’re not anxious, they think something is wrong. They’ve made worry a lifestyle and even bear worry wrinkles as proof. But that’s not God’s plan. The life He’s given you is a tranquil life, established in peace and anchored in prosperity. He cares for you affectionately and watches over you diligently. He’s not watching you to judge or condemn you but to do you good.

The Bible says He rejoices over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). He daily loads you with benefits (Psalm 68:19). It should help you understand why He said, “… Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them..." (Matthew 6:25-26).

Live free from anxiety, and enjoy the peace and rest that comes from knowing, serving, and trusting the Lord.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your unfailing love and care for me. I refuse to worry about anything, for in you I have everything. I live in joy and rest, knowing that you watch over me affectionately, loading me daily with blessings and benefits. My life is full of peace, progress, and victory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Matthew 6:25-30 NIV “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Psalm 55:22 NIV Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

THEME: THERE’S GLORY IN YOU

THEME SCRIPTURE: Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him (Isaiah 43:7).

Did you know that you’re in this earth to manifest the glory of God? You’re the first and the best of you to come into this world. You’re God’s best. He’s never had anybody like you, and He will never have another like you. That’s how special you are. So, refuse to fail. It wasn’t a mistake or an accident that you came from the family you came from. There’s glory in your life.

Inside you is something big, big enough to change the world. The Bible says, “…we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). You may not have money for clothes right now, or even enough to pay your rent. You may be living in a little room with hardly anything to your name. But it makes no difference; all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21).

God has already blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). Heaven is in your heart. Eternity is in your heart: “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart...” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV). Look inwards and let the Word of God build you from within.

You carry something precious. A land that contains gold requires a miner to help uncover it. That’s what the Word of God does for you. It reveals who you are, shows what’s inside you, and empowers you to live to your fullest potential in Christ. You’re the glory of God, so arise and shine.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for creating me for your glory. I am unique, chosen, and set apart for your divine purpose. Your Word brings out the treasures within me, and by your Spirit, I manifest excellence, beauty, and your divine power everywhere I go. I refuse to fail; I shine ever brightly for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: THE WORD IS SEED

THEME SCRIPTURE: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 Peter 1:23).

Recall that the Bible says the Lord Jesus was born of a virgin. That’s humanly impossible but it proved, first, His divinity, and then that the Word of God is seed. Humanly speaking, a child cannot be conceived without the agency of a human sperm; that’s where the human life comes from. But God proved something remarkable: the Word He spoke became seed—the Lord Jesus. John 1:14, “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.”

In Luke 8:11, the Bible tells us that the Word of God is seed: “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.” The Greek word for seed is “sperma,” from which the English word sperm is derived. The Word of God is therefore the life-giving force or faculty, the divine material that carries the life of God.

When God spoke His Word to Mary, she received that Word and it became flesh—Jesus Christ. Now, through the Gospel, that same miracle takes place in us. When you hear the Word and believe it, you receive the seed of God’s Word into your spirit, and that seed produces in you what it talks about. It produces the life of God in you.

No wonder the Bible says, “...as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). The same life that was in Jesus has been imparted to us because we’re born of the same Word (seed): “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures” (James 1:18). 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

We’re offsprings of the Word, of the same seed that brought forth Jesus. We’re carriers of His divine nature, sharers of His glory and bearers of His righteousness. Failure is not part of your life. You’re a life-giver because you’re born of the Word of God, which is life. Therefore, your words are spirit and they are life. What is it you desire today in your health, finances, ministry, or family? Speak life. Speak the Word, and it will produce what it talks about. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you that I am born of your incorruptible Word. Your life is at work in me, producing excellence, victory and glory. I speak words of life, and I see the Word manifest in every area of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: SEEK ONLY THE KINGDOM

THEME SCRIPTURE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

The Lord Jesus said, “...Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink...” (Matthew 6:25). Why doesn’t He want you to think or worry about your life? It’s because He already sorted and settled everything about your life. He said, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” (Matthew 6:26).

You’re God’s treasure, His most valuable and cherished possession. The Bible says He already knows what’s in your heart before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8 ). He’s given you His life, His Name, His nature and His Kingdom. He’s given you all things (1 Corinthians 3:21, 2 Peter 1:3).

Now, having given you all things and done exceeding, abundantly more than you can ask or think, He gave a simple instruction: “...seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” (Matthew 6:33). The key is for you to seek only the Kingdom and then everything else He’s already done for you, or that you could ever desire, will manifest. That’s the way of the Spirit.

Refuse to chase after material possessions, thinking life is about what you own. The Lord Jesus said, “…Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). What are your pursuits in life? What gets your attention? You already have everything in Christ Jesus; therefore, focus on expanding the Kingdom of God. Focus on the Gospel and the spread of righteousness in the nations.

Houses, lands, influence, wealth, etc., they’re already yours. Don’t run after them; set your gaze on God’s Kingdom only. Make the promotion of His righteousness your passion, your life’s pursuit. As you do, all the things others are desperately chasing will come to you without struggle. That’s the life of faith; that’s the life of the Spirit.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me an heir of the Kingdom. Christ is my all, and in Him, I have all things. I refuse to be anxious over material possessions, for I live in your Word and by your Spirit. My only pursuit is the expansion of your Kingdom and promotion of your righteousness to all nations, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: BUILDERS AND WARRIORS

THEME SCRIPTURE: They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon (Nehemiah 4:17).

In Nehemiah’s day, as the people built the wall of Jerusalem, they also held their weapons in their hands. They were not just builders but also warriors. With one hand, they built, and with the other hand, they were battle-ready. That’s how God’s people must be today.

As pastors, leaders, and Christians, we are building the Kingdom of God, but at the same time, engaging in spiritual warfare—battling for the souls of men. This warfare is not fought with guns or swords but with effectual prayer, watchfulness, and the power of words. We must pray and keep praying with fervency, intercede with passion, and make declarations of faith.

Joel 2:15-17 says, “Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?”

Notice, it involves everybody, young and old, bride and bridegroom, children and elders; all must be engaged in the Spirit. And then, the ministers of the Lord must cry out, interceding for God’s people. We must stand in the gap so the enemy does not triumph and the nations do not say, “Where is their God?”

We must pray against men or institutions that set themselves to foster persecution of Christians and hinder the spread of the Gospel in the nations of the world. We must thwart such forces and insist that they proceed no further; render their efforts futile, and declare that despite their opposition, the Gospel will continue to spread and prevail.

Don’t be silent or passive. The Gospel must be preached in all nations, and it takes watchful builders who are also warriors to make it happen. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a builder and a warrior in your Kingdom. I labour in the Gospel, steadfast in prayer, and watchful in the Spirit. I refuse to give ground to the adversary; instead, I stand strong, interceding for nations, for leaders, and for the Church. Your Word prevails mightily, and the Gospel spreads unhindered in every nation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: AN AFFIRMATION OF TRIUMPH

THEME SCRIPTURE: I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting (1 Timothy 2:8 ).

The Bible enjoins us to pray with our hands lifted. This isn't a mere gesture; it's a spiritual signal of victory, an affirmation of victory. Something happens when you lift your hands in prayer, praise and worship to the Lord.

Think about Moses, when he lifted his hands during Israel's battle with Amalek; Israel prevailed. But when his hands grew weary and came down, the enemy prevailed (Exodus 17:11).

But Aaron and Hur had to wisely improvise to make his hands stay perpetually lifted (Read the whole account in Exodus 17). When the hands were lifted, victory was assured. They discovered something spiritual that worked; something not even commanded in the Law. Then over in the New Testament, Paul reaffirms the same truth as read in our opening scripture.

Lifting your hands in prayer opens your spirit to divine inspiration, strength and power. It makes no difference the challenges you might be facing right now, perhaps this is what you haven't done consistently yet. Every so often, lift your hands as you pray. Lift them in faith as a sign that you've prevailed.

Sometimes, as you pray, the Spirit of God may even move you to stretch your hand in a particular direction; this is spiritual. Remember Elisha told the king, "Open the window eastward...and shoot" (2 Kings 13:17). It was a prophetic action with spiritual significance.

In the same way, when you lift your hands in prayer, you're enacting victory in the realm of the Spirit; it's an affirmation of triumph. As you pray with lifted hands, utter words by the Spirit, knowing that in Christ Jesus, you're victorious forever. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of prayer and the blessing of lifting my hands to you in faith, signalling victory and dominion. By the Spirit, I prevail always; I walk in strength, boldness and endless triumph, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Psalm 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Exodus 17:11-13 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. [12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. [13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

1 Timothy 2:8 AMPC I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands

THEME: THE GOSPEL OF DELIVERANCE

THEME SCRIPTURE: 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.

THEME: DOMINION OVER SATAN AND HIS WORKS

THEME SCRIPTURE: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12).

The Scriptures don’t give us the impression that all sicknesses and diseases are caused by demons. However, Satan does have a remote connection to sickness because he was the cause of sin from the very beginning, and the Bible tells us that through sin, death entered into the world. Sickness is simply incipient death.

Without sin, there would have been no sickness at all. But some have asked, “If Satan has something to do with sickness, how come doctors are able to cure them?” The answer is simple: Satan is not omnipotent. He doesn’t have all the power. He cannot control all of nature, nor can he totally dominate human life. Man still has a will, and man still has authority.

For example, consider the story of the demon-possessed man of Gadara (Mark 5:1-15). The Bible says he had a legion of demons, yet when the Lord Jesus came by, he ran toward Him. If the demons had their way, they would have prevented the man from approaching the Master. But they couldn’t stop him because even a demon-possessed man is not 100% controlled by Satan; his will still functions.

This shows that human beings, made in the image of God, are of a higher order than fallen angels. So, any evil or damage caused by Satan can often be undone. If, for example, someone had a car accident through satanic manipulation and the car was wrecked, you can repair the car, and Satan cannot stop it.

If Satan had all the power people imagine he has, he would have destroyed everyone long ago. But he hasn’t because he can’t. Yes, Satan does cause trouble, but as already stated, much of what he does can be undone through human effort. But where human ability stops, we use the Name of Jesus. The Lord Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and give us dominion over him and his cohorts of darkness. You have power far beyond human strength, far beyond this world. It’s the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s the power of the Name of Jesus. Therefore, your authority in Christ Jesus is greater than every force of darkness.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me authority in the Name of Jesus. I exercise that authority over sickness, disease, and every work of darkness. I live in the victory of Christ, knowing that Satan is under my feet; His schemes are futile in and around me, and in the lives of those in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: THE REALITY OF RESURRECTION

THEME SCRIPTURE: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8 ).

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 13:8 ). 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.

THEME: THE HIGHER REALM OF FAITH

THEME SCRIPTURE: ...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.

THEME: BOLDNESS IS OF THE SPIRIT

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

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.
