Topic: Revival Within ✝️

The Spirit's Word: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 57:15 KJV

To understand Christianity, we must do all it takes to bring the truth in Scriptures into our lives. We must make it our reality. Everything written, especially in the New Covenant, spells the finished works of Christ. We are admonished to rightly divide the Word of truth. When I see a Scripture such as our opening verse, it is expedient for me to meet the condition to make it a reality. God dwells with the contrite and humble person to revive the heart. Do I want a revival within? If yes, then I must wear humility and contrition as a garment. Pride must be far from me. God speaks in eternity. It is finished from the foundation of the world. Hebrews 4:3. If you are a student of the Bible, you ought to have seen almost all the writers talk about the foundation of the world. Nothing is new to God, it is only new to us. Therefore, when I see a Scripture that pertains to me as a Christian, a child of God, a Son of God or a friend of God, I latch unto it with faith in the finished works of Jesus. Also, many truths require an alignment. It is not by works, but can we stop praying, fasting or meditation? Can we stop good works, shining as lights, watching with all perseverance or attending church services? Certainly not.

We ought to know that for a manifestation of these finished works in our lives, we must align. What would it take God to revive every human being within? It is a simple matter to Him, but His Word and principles are given to us. The works are finished, but there are ways to receive. Apostle Peter told us: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 1 Peter 1:20. Manifestation is earthbound. As men yet in this flesh, nothing will enter into the earth without our intense labour in spiritual matters. God gave man the earth to rule over it. The heaven's belong to God. We need authority, faith and the Word to permit spiritual things into the earth realm. Hence, when next you see a truth in Scripture, ask for the requirements. Most holy or spiritual things need an environment like humility to remain on earth and not get corrupted. This is how to view these things, and so it is not by works. We just align accordingly. Also, only spiritual people have respect for spiritual things.

Reminder: Humility and holiness are the next things after faith in Jesus and all He accomplished.

The Spirit's Word: And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:18 KJV


God gave me the above Scripture in the early hours of the morning. I want us to trust God to be our Keeper. We can't save ourselves, nor can we dwell secure all by our own ability. It is vain to even think we can overcome evil without God. Let it be known to us that the days of wickedness are before all men. The enemy knows he has a very short time, and for this reason, he has multiplied the intensity of darkness, and increased the job responsibilities of every single demon on earth. We see the violence that is taking place in the nation and other parts of the world. It is nothing more than the work of darkness. We have to understand that, in as much as God has given us battlements and armoury for war, it doesn't mean we should go in that ability. Jesus is our only hope in an evil day. Make no mistake, there is always an evil day for every single person on the earth. God is the One that delivers. Remember how the Lord taught His disciples how to pray. One line says, "deliver us from all evil". Luke 11:4. Don't get too wrapped up in Scripture that you now forget it's God that delivers through His Word and mercy.

God doesn't only specialises on deliverance, but He will also preserve those that continue with Him. All we need is to trust Him totally. Let's not just get delivered and continue like that's all there is to it. The enemy doesn't forget anyone until he has destroyed that person. He is angry God has delivered you, and so he keeps trying to see that you live a miserable life. The Psalmist said, '' He that dwells in God's secret place shall abide under His shadow" Psalm 91:1. Let us be conscious of God. He is with us and doesn't want any evil to come near us. That's His heart and will for His children. We must be wise to avoid putting God to the test. Let's not go where He wouldn't want us to be. It takes our cooperation for the mighty power of God to be effective. Keep growing in His wisdom, and knowledge. Let us also grow in love. The power of God flows in the stream of His love. When you are full of love, you are full of God. And when you are full of God, His omnipotence is well within your reach. Ephesians 3:19-20. Make an effort to dislodge fear from your life. The script has been written. The people of God overcame. It doesn't matter the wrath of the enemy, it can't compare.

Reminder: None can stand in the face of God, neither can anything stand against Him. Fear not, but trust

Topic: Don't Waste Grace ✝️

The Spirit's Word: Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
John 13:10‭-‬11 KJV

Many of us are familiar with the above Scriptures. Jesus washed all His disciples' feet, and while at it, He told them they were already clean except for Judas who betrayed Him. What made them clean in the first place? The twelve walked with the Lord and heard His Word all the way. Recall, He once told them: Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
John 15:3. We've to catch this revelation. The Word of God washes and sanctifies us. Some people feel unclean due to the things they've been through. It is important to know that the Word is the greatest thing Jesus gave us. Let's take the Word daily. It guarantees our sanctity. And when we are clean, the devil can't find anything in us. Apostle Paul said: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Ephesians 5:26. The more we look into the Word, feed on the Word, speak forth the Word; the more the Holy Spirit sanctifies us, making our souls purified. Thus, we have the mind of Christ.

Judas, however, heard the Word daily, but it didn't profit Him. He wasted the grace of God that was made available to him. Don't take lightly spiritual things. The Word of God is spirit and life. John 6:63. We must show reverence for the Word. Don't take studying your Bible as a task in order to fulfil all righteousness. When you despise it, it can cost you painfully. Don't neglect the sanctification work of the Holy Spirit which leads to a transformation of the vessel. If you keep harbouring deceit, lies, evil heart, tricks, evil eye, revenge, etc., without letting the Word do a thorough work in you, how else can you be transformed. Don't remain a vessel unto dishonour. God only wants vessels of honour among his children. 2 Timothy 2:21. Judas got so deep in an evil heart that he totally forgot about repentance. That's what sin can do. Apostle Paul told us to exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:13. This is what happens when you hold on to the Word on your right hand, and to sin on your left hand, and vice versa. You can't beat Satan at sin. He is the author of sin, but we have been delivered from his world of darkness.

Reminder: Let's run with grace and truth, not grace and sin

Topic: Love Always Intercede ✝️

The Spirit's Word: And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Exodus 32:9‭-‬11‭, ‬14 KJV

The above Scripture is one that showed the tender hearted Moses interceding for the Israelite. This is the same Moses these people stood against on several occasions. One important attribute of a man of God is love towards the flock or sheep. God can't appoint you over His flock if you won't care for them. One of the ways we show we love the flock is to stand in the gap for them. This is something every believer must be aware of. You haven't really prayed to God if there is no intercession for another person. Jesus told us to bless them that curse us, and even pray for them. Luke 6:28. This is the will of God for us all. It shows unity. And we know that love is the perfect bond of unity. Colossians 3:14. We have to understand that God can get angry. However, this is what He also said: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Ezekiel 18:23. So next time you see a brother or sister sin or backsliding, this is the perfect time to intercede for them. When you pray for others, even your own sin is covered. It is a demonstration of love, and love covers a multitude of sin. 1 Peter 4:8. I know many people can be annoying and frustrating. Nobody is an angel. We all have issues that put people off. However, true wisdom is seeing everyone the way God sees them, and when they fall short, let's be quick to stand in the gap for them also. Remember Job sought for an intercessor to plead his case before God. He knew God would speedily hear the prayer of an intercessor compared to when he prays for himself. Job 9:33. Love always intercede. Don't judge.

Reminder: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 KJV

Topic: Jesus Requires Fruits ✝️

The Spirit's Word: And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21:19 KJV


A tree is first known by its stem, branches and leaves. This is what qualifies to be called a tree. God calls us trees of righteousness, or His planting. Isaiah 61:3. Remember when Adam and Eve sinned against God, they sewed fig leaves to cover their shame. From what God did, the leaves weren't sufficient for that. Genesis 3:7, 21. This shows us that God is not satisfied with just leaves. Jesus went to the fig tree hoping to find fruits thereon. He was disappointed when He didn't find any, and so, He cursed the tree and it withered. Jesus is looking for fruits in our lives. Let's not keep confessing scriptures without letting the Word of God produce in our lives. We ought to produce fruits of repentance by not going back to what God saved us from, and also, we produce fruits of righteousness. It is vain to just say you believe, and yet, nothing to show forth. Jesus Christ is not the minister of sin. Galatians 2:17. Remember what He told His disciples: Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:8. If we are connected to Christ who is the true vine, let us bring forth the required fruits. We bear fruits as we continue in His Word, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Apostle James exhorts us to be doers of the Word, and not just hearers that deceive themselves. James 1:22. There is no man that continues with an unprofitable venture. Let us be profitable.

Reminder: For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Topic: One Thing Needful ✝️

The Spirit's Word: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:42 KJV

Many know the story of Mary and Martha. No doubt, they both love Jesus. However, Jesus told us Mary was doing the right thing, or what was needful. Jesus was in the house, but Martha was away from His presence, while Mary sat at His feet, listening to all that the Lord had to say. The presence of the Lord is what many don't have today. When we hear of the presence of the Lord, it is not that the Lord is absent. God is omnipresent. As a believer, you have God inside of you. However, many don't know how to relate with the Lord. It is not in our prayers. We can pray without being conscious of His presence. The reason we were created is for communion or a love relationship. It is all about fellowship. Once your heart is right, you will understand that God wants you to have Him in every fibre of your being. Let's not only see God as being far away in heaven, even though that's His throne. We must first acknowledge Him in us and with us, before any other thing.

What's the best way to "be'' in the presence of God? It's by being quiet before God to hear His voice, and also when you take quiet times to study the Word. It's not about what you say to Him, but what He says to you. Remember what John the beloved told us: Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10. We must never substitute this for anything. He is the One who made us and not we ourselves. Psalm 100:3. Don't get too distracted in your service or whatever you think you can do for Him. He is satisfied when you practice His presence this way. This is true rest. The man who dwells continually in the Lord's presence is never lacking in any good thing. He knows God's timing and purpose. You can never go wrong in sync with God. Always pray in the Spirit, and sing songs of praise to keep your spirit man aglow with the fire of God.

Reminder: If you get this right, obedience and submission to God will be as easy as breathing.

Always pray in the Spirit, and sing songs of praise to keep your spirit man aglow with the fire of God.

Reminder: If you get this right, obedience and submission to God will be as easy as breathing.

The Spirit's Word: Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Hosea 12:1 KJV

The essence of telling people about the devil is never to instigate fear or unbelief, but to expose his strategies. The more we see how cruel and deceptive he is, the more we do all it takes to avoid him getting an advantage over us. The opening Scripture tells us about God's precious Ephraim, who turned back from God. It wasn't a one time decision. It happened gradually, until God saw how far back he had gotten from His presence. There is nothing profitable in the carnal nature. There is all to lose when we walk in the flesh. We're told that the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. This death may not be an abrupt one. The enemy will never give you reason to see his evil and wicked nature. He keeps you hypnotised until you no longer have what it takes to resist him or defend yourself. Don't feed on the wind. Have you ever seen anyone that said they caught the wind in a storage facility? It's pointless going after that whose end is devastation. Sin is a miry dunghill, just like quicksand. You find yourself sinking every time you frolic with the world's LovePeddler called sin. Desolation is the only thing to reap. Egypt is the house of bondage, and the Assyrian is the one that binds men in yokes. Don't let them take over your destiny. The devil only wants your glory. It's that simple. The Lord defeated him, and stripped him of all he got from man. However, he still goes about trafficking. When you sin, you trade your glory. The oil is the Anointing. The devil wants the Anointing of believers. Protect your oil.

Reminder: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; Ezekiel 28:18 KJV

Topic: Sin Unto Death (Part 2) ✝️

The Spirit's Word: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 3:16‭-‬17 KJV


Yesterday, we saw that idolatry is the sin that leads, even believers, unto death. The number one form of idolatry today is whoredoms or fornication, adultery, perversion and prostitution. Apostle Paul told us God will destroy anyone that defiles His temple. Our bodies are the temple of God. This is a serious matter, considering the level of lasciviousness and lusts in the world today. Even believers are now partakers of all these things. We're talking about believers. Anyone who bows to other gods in their shrine can't be a believer. So, the idolatry that occurs in the church is setting the heart on carnality or vanities, and also fornication. When you commit these vile sins, devils become one with you. The union of marriage is that two become one flesh. Mark 10:8. It didn't say one spirit, or one soul but one flesh. If you think the flesh isn't important, think again. It was only possible for Jesus to bring salvation and redemption through the flesh. The flesh must be held in sanctification and honour. 1 Thessalonians 4:4. The world is filled with darkness since the fall of man. It's a sanctified vessel that grants permission to Him here on earth. 2 Chronicles 7:14. God dwells in light and He is holy.

How terrible is this sin? Hear what Paul said: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:18. Truly, Jesus paid the price for our body, soul and spirit with His blood. It is a great dishonour to live in sin. Christ has become our holiness and righteousness. But where are the fruits of it? It is our personal responsibility to bear fruits of righteousness and holiness unto the Lord. This is not to be justified, but to the praise and glory of God. If God weren't concerned about us living a life of righteousness and true holiness, He wouldn't have to give that warning in the opening Scripture. It says God will destroy anyone, whether you are a man of God or not, that defiles His holy Temple. How can you read this Scripture and still fall into the sin of fornication? Only the perfectly rebellious will take God's grace and mercy for granted in such a way. Our focus must be on becoming more like Christ inwardly and outwardly, and not doing the lust of the devil. There are many who may be in this bondage. Don't let the stranglehold of the enemy keep you bound. God's Word is light that overpowers darkness. Get the Word into your spirit, and walk accordingly, and you'll be free.

Reminder: It's not by your own power and might, but by the Spirit of the Lord of Host. Be conscious of the Holy Spirit's presence always.

Topic: Sin Unto Death ✝️

The Spirit's Word: If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
1 John 5:16‭-‬17‭, ‬21 KJV

Apostle John wrote to some of his converts in his day to warn them about the sin that leads to death. We are talking about spiritual death here. We know that all sin is unrighteousness, but if he got a revelation from God about sinning unto death, we better take note of it. He even talked about praying for the brethren whose sin isn't unto death as there is a clear demarcation. Idolatry was the first sin the Lord addressed right from the days of Abraham up till this day. He is a jealous God. Anything that takes the place of God in a life; and to be bold about it without a sense of guilt or repentance, can lead that soul to be caught off from the presence of God. Recall what God told Jeremiah: Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. Jeremiah 15:1. The Israelites were caught off on several occasions from God's holiness because their whoredoms were one too many. The Egyptians enslaved them, and so did the Assyrians and Babylonians. This hasn't changed. If you follow other gods, no intercession can prevail. That's what the Bible clearly states. We are instructed not to pray for such a person.

We must be careful how we live our lives. There are multitudes of idols on the earth today. They come in forms that people frown at when mentioned. It is not to say we won't engage in other forms of activity for leisure, growth, development, etc. However, when we set our hearts on these things, a spirit of whoredom automatically displaces the Spirit of God. You make the decisions in your life, whether God stays or goes. It is solely you. This is what God said: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. Hosea 4:17‭-‬18. As a result of this judgment, Ephraim was omitted in Revelation chapter seven. God's spirit will never strive with man. Genesis 6:3. For this cause, Apostle John warns that we keep ourselves from idols. It could be money, sports, make up, games, betting, food, drinks, party and revelling. These things on their own are not from the devil. However, when you turn your heart to it, and as a result are no longer touched or moved by God because of it, you back slide into eternal darkness. It is important we evaluate our lives every moment, and every day to ensure our first love is still in place. Let God reign, and not choke.

Reminder: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV

Topic: Don't Live Like A Swine ✝️

The Spirit's Word: And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
Luke 8:32‭-‬33 KJV

Have you noticed why the demons begged Jesus to send them into a herd of pigs? Demons only thrive in filthy, unclean and putrid places. They can't enter a place that has light or life. It's the reason why we still talk about sin in the New Testament. Jesus dealt with the sin issue, but many won't let go of sin. Jesus did not object to their request. Someone may say, but those pigs were innocent. We may also say uncleanness is the pig's nature. But in the beginning it was not so. This is why we had clean and unclean animals in the Old Testament. Some animals were corrupted as a result of the fall. Psalm 82:5, Genesis 7:2. This is the whole essence of redemption, not for man alone, but for all of God's creatures. Romans 8:19-22. There is no sane person who would want to have a demon breeding inside of them. However, you don't have to invite them with a letter. They come into your life through sin. You can't be patronising prostitutes and think you don't have more than one devil in you. Neither can you be jumping from bed to bed, and think you are free. It doesn't matter whether you are a believer, they will only avoid your spirit. God has opened my eyes to see these unclean spirits in various forms, shapes and sizes. They are filthy. Did you notice what happened to the pigs? They lost control, ran down a slope and were destroyed. This is the agenda of demons - to destroy the life of their host. If you have been living a life of sin, there is always hope for the living. Repent and forsake that lifestyle. Only through genuine repentance and continuing with the Lord, can you cast out these devils from your life.

Reminder: Many problems in life are caused by devils that entered people through sin. Devils are the reason there is no peace on earth

The Spirit's Word: And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Exodus 40:36‭-‬38 KJV

I believe wisdom is being sensitive to God's impulse to know what to do per time. The children of Israel journeyed from Egypt to Israel at the impulse of God. He was a cloud by day, and pillar by night. It is God's desire for His children to follow His footsteps and leading. We don't know what will happen a second from any moment. All the battles the Israelites won during their sojourn was because they paid attention to God's leading. Man's wisdom can't go far, but God has given us the Holy Ghost to lead us in His way, and not ours. It is wisdom to know God's assignment for our lives. It will eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks. Let your life be inspired by God, and you will always be at peace. Many are in one uncertainty jumping into the next because they won't let God direct them. Our Lord always flowed with the Holy Spirit, and all men sought Him. Mark 1:37. What God has designed for everyone is to make us a blessing to all. Isaiah 62:7, 1 Peter 2:9. If we would care enough to find out from Him, and allow His guidance, we would be truly blessed and bring God glory. The more we spend time with God, the better we will be at hearing his voice. God requires we give Him our time and hearts.

The women, with Nicodemus went with spices to preserve the Body of Jesus. Believers are the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27.

Take up your responsibility and intercede for the saints. The church of Christ is one. Persecution of believers in certain regions of the world does not mean we in other regions are unaffected.

Topic: Strongholds ✝️

The Spirit's Word: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holdswink Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:4‭-‬5 KJV

Paul was writing to believers when he talked about strongholds. It does not apply to the unbeliever. Why? The unbeliever is a prisoner of Satan and darkness, in his body, soul and spirit. A stronghold is not a sin. Sin is what it is, but a stronghold is any lie the enemy makes you believe. You may believe a lie innocently, Satan doesn't care about that. The dictionary defines stronghold as a place built to withstand attack; a fortress. It is again defined as a place of domination by, or refuge or survival of, a particular group or idea. Satan wants to remain in your life by any means. An example of a stronghold is to believe we can't live above sin as Christians. Are you surprised? The Bible tells us that we have died to sin, and so we aren't not supposed to have anything to do with it. We ought to seek the things that are above where Christ is seated. Colossians 3:1-5. Satan is the one who plants these opinions and lies in your mind. He can only live in you through strongholds. For this reason, Jesus told us the prince of this world has nothing in him.

The Bible says the strangers shall fade away. Psalms 18:45. These strangers or demons can only stay in closed places or shadows. And so, we must continually renew our minds. Romans 12:2. Don't give the enemy a habitable space in your life. You are the house of God. When you find yourself uncertain about anything, it is wisdom to go into the Word. Don't live your life based on what an article in the magazine says. The media is full of lies, and many unwittingly broadcast false messages and propaganda to instill fear. Things you have been doing, or eating, or drinking for more than twenty years without a problem, and then, one unfounded or misguided report starts to circulate and majority believes it. The Bible says all meat is accepted as long as it is received with thanks. People have taken ill because of something they read on the Internet. Avoid all unfounded information. No science has been verified. That's why they keep postulating year after year. Only the Word of God is sure fire. Let God's Word be your defence against the lies of men and devils. It's a pity if you believe science more than God's Word.

Reminder: Use the Word of God in condemning any lie you may have believed hitherto.

Topic: Spirit of Righteousness ✝️

The Spirit's Word: And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:10 KJV


All throughout Scriptures, we see the Holy Ghost manifest in many attributes. He is the Spirit of Holiness, the Spirit of faith, the Spirit of boldness, the Spirit of Life, the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of love, the Spirit of Power, the Spirit of a sound mind, the Spirit of burning, the Spirit of judgment, the Spirit of grace, the Spirit of supplication, the Spirit of righteousness, and so many more. The same way God revealed His different attributes per time to the children of Israel, that's the same way the Holy Ghost manifests himself to us under the New Covenant. For this reason, we must study the Word to know how to activate His manifold personalities. The above verse tells us that Christ in us means the body is dead to sin, and the Holy Spirit is life because of righteousness, which is the free gift we received. Romans 5:17. Our own righteousness can never suffice to receive anything from God. We can only build upon what we receive as a free gift. What does this mean? You are made to reign in life by this gift of righteousness. Death, sickness, defeat, failure or poverty should be far from your domain as long as you stand in faith.

The Bible tells us that God's throne consist of righteousness and justice. Psalm 89:14. When you hear righteousness and justice, it means to rule or reign. For this reason, they are the habitations of His heavenly throne. What are we to reign over? All that negates and contradicts God's will for His children. It means darkness and its works must be subdued. Remember, it's not your righteousness. Your righteousness can't even help you reign over the smallest matter because darkness reigns everywhere except where the light of God is. And God's light can only proceed from His Word, and this is the Word of His righteousness. Hebrews 5:13. Jesus manifests Himself as the Word of God when He is out to judge and conquer his enemies. The Bible says: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation 19:11. God's righteousness is given to us to judge and dominate the forces of darkness. However, if you live in sin, your mind and the devil will give you no rest. So stay off sin.

Reminder: This gift of righteousness works only by faith. We must build up our faith with the Word of Truth, and His Grace.

Topic: No Reputation ✝️

The Spirit's Word: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians 2:7 KJV


For you to be truly humble, you have really died. Our Lord made Himself of no reputation. He didn't care what they called Him. If you still look to people to call you sir, ma, father, mother, mentor, daddy, etc., then there is still something there in your flesh that wants to be exalted. Whenever I read a verse that talks about Jesus' display of humility, I get excited every time. It gives me hope that I can actually live that kind of life. It is the way forward, and also the only path to the heart of God. Don't live a life that can still feel shame or embarrassment. You're only answerable to God. If people mock or despise you, don't lay it to heart. We only owe people love and no more than that. Romans 13:8. Jesus washed the feet of all his disciples as an act of service. We are commanded to do likewise. The summary of it all is that, we ought to think more of others and less of self. Is this to say we should not take good care of self? On the contrary. He that has died to self has handed over his or her life to God. God knows how to take care of His treasures.

Reminder: Reputation keeps you small in God's eyes while humility is the reverse.

Topic: Light of Men ✝️

The Spirit's Word: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:1‭, ‬4‭-‬5 KJV

I believe every Christian understands the concept of darkness, as well as light. Darkness is anything evil, while light is of God. What is the light of men? Apostle John talks about the light of men, and he related it to the life of God which is in the Word. Jesus stands in between the seven lamp stands in Revelation chapter one. We were told that the lamp stands represent the seven churches (verse 20). We are the lamps. Recall the tabernacle in the Holy place was set a lamp stand with seven candlesticks. God commanded the priest to ensure the light is always burning, both of the altar of sacrifice, and the candlesticks. The light must never be put out. Eli committed a great sin by ignoring this commandment. He was punished for this by death, including the death of his sons. The Word of God is our light. We must never take the word for granted. It is not a once in while thing we pick up when we feel like. David said: For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:28. If we don't want the darkness of this world to have access into our lives, we must continually feed on the Word.

The Word is an illuminator. When you constantly get the Word into your spirit, darkness can't have any advantage, because light is far greater than darkness. Devils will only stand afar off. We must not joke with this light. John calls it the light of men. This translates to what Jesus said, when he called us the light of the world. The world is a dark place, and no man can survive or navigate without this light. You are a burning and shining light when you have the Word of life in your born again spirit. Job also attested to this truth when he lamented: ...his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
Job 29:3. Don't let your light be out or dim. The more of the Word you take in, and by the help of the Holy Ghost, ministering to you, the more your light shines. John the baptist was a burning and shining light. John 5:35. Perhaps, you are yet to receive infilling of the Holy Ghost, just ask the Lord to baptise you. It's a free gift. This world is too wicked to be without this light. Let the Holy Ghost show you how you can brighten your light, so you can be a beacon and succour in this wicked world.

Reminder: Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
Leviticus 24:2 KJV
