ABLAZE FOR GOD

Exodus 29:36-37

(36)  And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

(37)  Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

This scripture has a two dimensional message. First, God expects all His servants who are specially called to the priestly office or pulpit ministry,  to live a life of holiness and purity for the sanctity of the altar.

Secondly, every believer should recognize that the altar is a meeting place between man and God.  It is a place of sacrifice, a place where we offer service and worship unto God. Under the old covenant, it was a physical altar; under the new covenant, it is the altar of our hearts.  From our hearts, we worship and serve the Lord; and as God required of the old testament/old covenant priest, He requires of the new testament/new covenant priest to sanctify the altar--that is rid it of all impurities so that our service and worship can be acceptable.

Remember every believer is redeemed a king and a priest (See Revelations 5:9-10). So, we’re the priests that God is referring to and giving the instructions to carryout in our opening scripture, concerning sanctifying and cleansing of the altar (you may read the entire chapter of Exodus 29 for more clarity). Likewise, in Romans 12:1, we’re admonished to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God so as to make our service to Him a reasonable one (paraphrasing). In other-words, we must sanctify the altar of our hearts (cleanse it from all impurities such as bitterness, unforgiveness/malice, hypocrisy, covetousness, lust/immorality among others) so that our living sacrifice of worship and service to God may be acceptable.

But How do we do that? How do we sanctify the altar of our hearts?  Let us briefly examine two vital keys.

First, is by taking a daily shower in the word of God. It says in Ephesians 5:26, “that he might sanctify and clease it with the washing of water by the Word of God”.

Just as taking one’s bath daily, ensures a clean body, going for a daily spiritual bath in the word ensures a clean spirit and soul.  Jesus once said to His disciples,

“...Ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” - John 15:3

Also in Hebrews 10:22, it says,

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water”

God’s word is the purest water for the cleansing of our hearts/spirits (conscience), soul, and bodies.

The second key is Prayer

To escape the defilement of sin, Jesus gave this recommendation. He said:

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation…” - Matthew 26:41

Also in 1st Timothy 4:5, it says:

“For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer”

So besides the Word, sanctification of our lives can also be achieved through prayer. When the altar of our heart is set ablaze with the word and prayer, evil beasts or forces that bring impurities into our lives stay clear (stay off). In the wild, when fire is burning somewhere (the temperature is too hot), no wild animal goes near. It is the same in the spiritual realm. A believer whose spiritual life is ablaze with the word and prayer will purge/burn off the defiling forces of sin. 

In scripture, both God’s Word and prayer are sources  of spiritual fire. In Jeremiah 23:29, it says: “Is not my word like as a fire?…

Also, in 2nd Chronicles 7:1, the following is recorded:

“Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices and the glory of the Lord filled the house”

So, God’s Word and prayer are two potent sources of spiritual fire that ignites the altar of our hearts and consumes whatever makes us unworthy before the Lord. 

Therefore, maintaining a daily devotion in the word and prayer is fundamental to the cleansing of the altar of our hearts thereby making our worship and services as priests holy and acceptable to God.  Now is  your turn to be ablaze 🔥 for God!

Meanwhile, accepting Jesus the Son of God as your  personal saviour and Lord is the starting point. If you’re set for that, Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 ) 

If you have said this prayer, we encourage you to get into a bible believing church near you where you can grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2 and 2nd Samuel 7:10) . Also, continue to follow us on our social media platforms (YouTube@josephmasiam, Facebook@mawudema). We’d love to hear from you!

The Joseph Order of Wisdom for Economic Transformation

What is it? Set aside minimum a fifth part (that is, twenty percent) of your income every month for savings/investment.  Do that consistently for seven (7) years unbroken and see what happens to your financial life/fortunes. You can begin to make withdrawals after seven years (I.e. in the 8th year). And continue the cycle (See the entire chapter of Genesis 41 for full details). However, let us read portions of it here.

Genesis 41:34-37 & 53-57  

(34)  Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up THE FIFTH PART of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

(35)  And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

(36)  And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

(37)  And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

(53)  And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

(54)  And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

(55)  And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.

(56)  And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

(57)  And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

In Ecclesiastes 1:9, the word of God says, 

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun

So, there is nothing new under the sun.  It means what has happened before is what will happen again.  The scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35B). This means that seasons of scarcity will always follow seasons of abundance; all through history, it has been proved to be true. Various world economies have seen seasons of economic depression following a season of economic boom.  That affirms scriptural prophesy. What has been before is what shall be.

A great man of God said, and I paraphrase: no one can pray away a prophetic agenda; one can only seek an exemption. So we cannot wish away or pray away seasons of economic depression. No government or political party has the solution either. We can only seek an exemption from the effects or horrors of the economic dearths that will come. So we have a scripturally tested and tried solution that was used in bible days in ancient Egypt which transformed that nation (Egypt) into a world economic super-power during a season of an extreme global economic crisis/depression. It’s a divinely inspired solution or exemption strategy that was proffered by the bible icon and hero called Joseph. So I call it the Joseph Order of Wisdom or Paradigm for economic transformation. In essence it says if you can set aside at least a fifth part (that is 20 percent) of all your income/earnings monthly for savings/investment and you do so consistently for seven (7) years unbroken, you will experience an economic boom in the years that will follow, even if others may be going through a depression or experiencing scarcity/drought. That’s what happened to the nation of Egypt when they took Joseph’s advice. Bible says:

“...All countries came into Egypt to Joseph…to buy corn because that the famine was sore in all Lands” - Genesis 41:57

It was a season of global economic drought, but one nation was exempted because they embraced biblical wisdom from a foreigner (for a full account/detail, read the entire chapter of Genesis 41). 

Meanwhile, the above biblical principle presupposes that one is also adhering to other biblical principles or laws governing finance such as paying the tithe to God, which is ten percent (10%) of one’s income, giving offerings to advance God’s kingdom and helping the needy (see Leviticus 27:30, Malachi 3:8-12, Luke 6:38, Proverbs 28:27 and Psalm 41:1-3). These are spiritual investments which will invariably secure unquestionable rewards as well as protect/preserve the natural investments being made by the believer such as the one discussed in this short teaching. 

As we conclude, we must understand that we cannot follow God’s principles in isolation, without having an active relationship with Him. It is having a relationship with God that makes the principles to produce tangible results in our lives. And that relationship is established  by accepting Jesus the Son of God as your  saviour and lord. If you’re set for that, Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 )

RULING YOUR WORLD

 Revelation 5:9-10  

(9) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the.  seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast.  redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and    nation; 

(10)  And hast made us unto our God KINGS and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

If you’re a child of God (a believer), recognize that you are redeemed a king and a priest to reign on the earth. As a priest, you have access to God, and as a king, you have authority on the earth. That means the entire earth is your kingdom (your domain of operation). You have dominion in the earth. And by God’s design you reign/rule with your mouth. Kings rule by making decrees.

Job 22:28  

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

The decrees of a king are not vain words.  They are backed with power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says:

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? 

A king’s authority cannot be challenged within his kingdom or domain of operation when he has passed a decree. “…who may say unto him, what doest thou?”

In other-words, there’s enough power backup to enforce the decree such that it cannot be contested. So as a king, you cannot rule with your mouth closed. Until you open your mouth, your authority will be challenged.

Also remember we were created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27), so we’re designed to operate just like Him. And bible says God (who is the King of Kings) rules by His power forever (see Psalm 66:7). He does so by issuing decrees/commands. Psalm 148:5 says: 

“Let them praise the name of the LORD: for HE COMMANDED, and they were created.” 

God rules the universe by the decrees/commands of His mouth. That’s the same way you are ordained as a child of God, a king in the earth, to rule your world. Bible says:

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. - Matthew 12:37

In other-words, your authority as a king is in your mouth. Whether you dominate and rule or you’re dominated by elemental forces of this world is according to the words of your mouth. Whether you live blessed or you live condemned/cursed is by the Words of your mouth. Whether you live in health or you live in sickness and afflictions is according to the words of your mouth. Whether you experience captivity or liberty is by the words of your mouth. Or whether you rule and reign as a king in your kingdom or you live in servitude like a peasant or slave is according to the words of your mouth.  You decide, by the words of your mouth, what happens to you.

God has given you dominion over the earth and it is up to you to manifest that dominion by the words of your mouth.  So go ahead, open your mouth and determine the events of your life.  It’s time to rule your world.

Meanwhile, God must become your heavenly father before you can have a right to the authority we have just talked about. And that is by accepting Jesus the Son of God as your  saviour and lord. If you’re set for that, Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Activating The Thousandfold Blessing!

 Deuteronomy 1:11

(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

This is the thousandfold blessing. God is able to make you a thousand times so much more in blessing.

let us uncover a divine principle in the bible as we proceed: every material miracle requires a material seed.

Back in the old, we find this unique story which event occurred in the days of Elisha the prophet.  A man of God had died and left behind a widowed wife and two sons with some debts unpaid.  So, the creditors came to redeem the two sons of this man of God whom he had used for collateral. In view of this, the widowed wife cried to the prophet Elisha for help. In response, the prophet asked the woman a vital question which reveals the biblical principle we want to uncover. He asked “…what has thou in the house?…” (2Kings 4:2a). The widow responded “…Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.” (2Kings 4:2b). In summary, God used that little pot of oil to turnaround the fortunes of this widow and her household such that she had more than enough to pay off her debts and had surplus funds left to live on (See 2Kings 4:1-7 for full story).  

Similarly in the new testament, when Jesus  was confronted with a challenge of feeding a multitude of people (well over five thousand), he asked for what was available. It was a meager five loaves of bread and two fishes. In the natural, that was woefully inadequate to feed over five thousand people. But what happened? When Jesus took that meager supply from the disciples and blessed it, it multiplied a thousand times. So five thousand men (beside women and children) were fed to the full and they had  twelve baskets of the divine supply remaining.

Lets see Matthew 14:15-21 for a full account of this story.

Matthew 14:15-21

(15)  And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

(16)  But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

(17)  And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

(18)  He said, Bring them hither to me.

(19)  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, HE BLESSED, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

(20)  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

(21)  And they that had eaten were ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND men, beside women and children.

So what activates the thousandfold blessing? It is your seed (that is what you have in your hand that seems inadequate)--it could be a material seed such as money, a gift/talent or an idea. Place that seed in the hands of God. If it is a non-material/non-financial seed (the gift/talent/endowment or idea) use it for His glory and see what he’ll do with it.  The disciples said to the Master (Jesus) in verse 17 of our scripture passage (above), “…We have but five loaves of bread, and two fishes”.  In other-words, what we have is woefully in adequate to feed this multitude. In the next verse (18), Jesus said to them, “…bring them to me…”.  In the verse that follows the Word says He blessed the fives loaves and two fishes and what happened? There was a supernatural multiplication of that seed such that 12 baskets full of blessings remained after five thousand men besides women and children were fed to the full.

Five thousand and over were fed from a little seed of five loaves and two fishes.  That is the Thousandfold blessing, and it was activated by a material seed.  When God’s blessing comes upon your seed that you release to him, you can experience an abundant harvest of the thousandfold blessing, as clearly demonstrated in the life of the disciples of Christ.

For double emphasis, God allowed this miracle to happen twice in the disciples’ walk with Jesus, so as to extinguish any idea that this happened merely by chance (the second account of this miracle is recorded in Matthew 15:32-38 and Mark 8:1-9).

When what is in your hand cannot meet the needs of the moment, turn it to a seed with a grateful heart and watch God repeat this same miracle in your own life. Bible says He is the Lord He changes not (Malachi 3:6, paraphrased). God has not changed. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8, paraphrased). So may you come into agreement with Him today so the thousandfold blessing can be activated in your own life too. 

(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) - Deuteronomy 1:11

Meanwhile, having a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ is a fundamental requirement to become a beneficiary of any of God’s blessings. If you desire to establish this relationship, then let us pray.

Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 )

YOU ARE SPECIAL!!

Deuteronomy 14 : 2

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

All of God’s Children are a peculiar people--a special treasure to God above all nations/people on the earth (see also 1st Peter 2:9/Psalm 135:4). 

So see yourself as such, as a peculiar treasure in the eyes of All-mighty God. Doesn’t matter how others may see or perceive you. Doesn’t matter what they have said about you. See yourself from the perspective of the one who created you. Let God redefine who you truly are; He says, You are SPECIAL!!

Meanwhile, this is a rare privilege of God’s Children. And you become a child of God by embracing His Son Jesus Christ into your life. If you desire to become one of God’s own children today, then we can say a simple prayer:

Let's Pray:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

You Will WIN

 Exodus 17:8 & 11

(8)  Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

(11)  And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

Under the new covenant/testament, the lifting up of holy hands is symbolic of prayer. 1st Timothy 2:8 says:

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands…

So what’s the lesson? No matter the battle of life, as long as your hands are up in prayer, you will prevail (just like Moses and Israel in the above scripture). However, if you bring your hands down (in other-words, if you stop praying), the adversary will prevail over you.

This means prayer gives you the upper hand in any battle of life. So keep it going, never relent and never give up until you win.

Meanwhile, a fundamental requirement for answered prayer is having a relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ.  If you’re yet to have this relationship established, you can say a simple prayer to make that happen for you.

Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Lifestyle of Thanksgiving

There is no bleak tomorrow for a genuine thanksgiver. This is because the thanksgiver is Living perpetually in the will of God. And as long as one is abiding in God's will, the future is covered. Abiding in God's will guarantees the security of anyone's future/destiny. It says in 1st Thessalonians 5:18 that:

"In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" 

Thanksgiving is the will of God; And living in God's will is the same as pleasing Him. And once God is pleased with a person, forget about the devil. The future is nothing but glorious!

Therefore, settle it in your heart today to always maintain an attitude of gratitude no matter what the situation of life may be, and you will see God coming through for you again and again.

Meanwhile, if you have not made Jesus Lord of your life, you can do so today and begin a new relationship with God.

Please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

LIVE BLESSING CONSCIOUS

Revelation 5:9  

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 

There’s nothing that the blood of Jesus did not atone for. There’s nothing called a curse (be it generational or otherwise) that can cross the blood line (speaking of the blood of the precious lamb of God).  Bible says by His death on the cross, pouring out his blood as a libation for the liberation of humanity, Jesus “blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that were against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross” (Colosians 2:14 paraphrased).

So, everything that was against us, that was contrary to us (every ancestral covenant/curse, every diabolical machination, every inherited curse, every established injunction against us) was blotted out, taken out of the way and nailed to the cross.

Therefore, as the redeemed of the Lord (saved by grace) you’re free from all curses of life. Curses have no more legal hold on your life.  The word says, Jesus died on the cross to connect us with the blessings of Abraham (see Galatians 3:13-14).  In essence, new birth in Christ connects us with blessings, not curses. So live your life conscious of the blessing. Live blessing conscious, because what you’re conscious of is what prevails in your life. God’s word in Proverbs 23:7 says: “as he thinketh…so is he…”. If you think you’re still cursed as a child of God, then so shall it be for you.  But if you think in agreement with God’s Word that you’re blessed, then blessing is what plays out in your life.  

So wake up every morning and thank God because it’s another blessed day filled with God’s goodness.  Go out, walking tall and shoulder high and expect the good news of His blessings flowing in your direction.  It’s a new day for you! 

Meanwhile, a fundamental requirement to become a partaker of the blessing that Jesus shed his blood to connect us with is to accept Him as your Lord and personal saviour. 

If you need Jesus in your life, please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12 )

YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE

 1Samuel 18:7-8 (KJV)

(7)  And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

(8)  And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

Whenever you’re being celebrated, there are those who will get jealous.  Jealousy is an affirmation that you’re lifted.  Further, there are still more who will feel insecure in your accomplishments.  Hear what King Saul Said:  

[8]“...They have ascribed unto David ten thousands and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?

[9] And sou eyed David from that day forward.” (1Samuel 18:8-9)

Soul’s jealousy of David metamorphosed into insecurity, and his insecurity graduated to hatred.  The scripture said: “And soul eyed David from that day forward.” (1Samuel 18:9).

That is, he had an evil eye for David.  I decree in the name of Jesus, every evil eye that looks at you from now will go blind for your sake.   

Please get this into your spirit (accept this scriptural truth):  Your rising in life will stirrup jealousy in the heart of men.  When it is not checked, it will metamorphose into insecurity.  If  the insecurity gets out of control, it will then graduate into hatred. 

This hatred for David is confirmed in verses 10 and 11 of 1st Samuel 18, where we see Saul making two failed attempts to kill David with a javelin.  Why is this message so important? One will be naive to think that everyone will be excited about their breakthroughs/lifting in life.  Understand that for every new level/height you attain, you will have new enemies to contend with. It’s important to be aware of this fact so that you’re not taken by surprise.  

All of a sudden, Saul (who was previously an ally) has become David’s arch enemy. Therefore, do not be surprised when some who may have been on your side before, now turn out to be adversaries to you.  By killing Goliath, David made a new enemy, much more treacherous than the dreaded Goliath and the enemies of Israel.  Before the account of David killing Goliath in the book of 1st Samuel Chapter 17, bible records that David had found favour with Saul the King (see 1st Samuel 16:22). But after the encounter with Goliath, overnight, the favour that David once had with the king, had turned to animosity.

Therefore, keep your eyes wide open as God continues to lift you, so you don’t fall prey to the adversary.  The hatred notwithstanding, David still made it to the throne as King.  The hatred of his arch enemy  could not stop God’s agenda for his life; he outlived his enemy and fulfilled divine plan. May you have a greater testimony in the name of Jesus. 

But Note: David was not ignorant of the existence of a treacherous and crafty enemy called Saul; that’s why he survived the attempts on his life. You too must not be ignorant so that you can fulfill destiny without hurts.

I pray one prayer for you: May you never mistaken an enemy for a friend.  And may you always be several steps ahead of your enemies.  In verse 12 of 1st Samuel chapter 18, the scripture reveals: 

“And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him…” (1st Samuel 18:1).

May your fear be upon your enemies from now on. In contrast, Verse 16 says: “But all Israel and Judah loved David…”.(1st Samuel 18:16)

Therefore I decree that in the midst of enemy hatred and hostility, you will find favour with those who matter. Will you say a loud Amen to that! Congratulations!

Meanwhile, without a relationship with God through Jesus Christ the Son, you have no real defence against the enemy.  If you desire to establish this relationship, please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.

Your Words Create Your World

 Hebrews 11:3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 

It says the worlds were framed (fashioned into being/existence) by the Word of God.  In other words, it is the words that God spoke that brought the world into being (into existence).  And God made us in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). That means we can operate like God. So with your words, you can create your world. You can fashion into being/existence your own world, just the way you want it to be. 

For instance, whenever you see gross darkness (things out of order), speak forth Light.  It says in Psalm 119:105:

“Thy word is a lamp…and a light…” (See also: Psalm 119:130a, John 1:1-5&9)

In other words, the words you speak is light that will swallow-up darkness. That’s what God Himself did in the beginning (see Genesis 1:1-3). 

So when you see sickness, speak health.  

When you see stagnation speak progress.

When you see breakdown, speak breakthrough.  

When you see failure, speak success.  

When you see death, speak life. And When you see defeat, speak victory.

What you speak forth is what will come forth.  In Mark 11:23, it says: “…You shall have whatsoever you say”

In the beginning, God called for light when He saw darkness and light came forth. So never you talk about the negative happenings in your life. Rather say what you hope to see happen for you and that is what will happen. 

We conclude with two scriptures.  First Psalm 148:5. And it says:

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.

Everything we see in creation today came into existence because God (the creator) issued commands and they were created. In like manner it says in Job 22:28

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 

As you make decrees (issue commands) by faith, light is shining forth, and so every darkness around you must gives way for your desires to be created. Therefore, go ahead and begin to make your own decrees and see your world begin to take shape the way you want it.

Meanwhile, without having an active relationship with God through Jesus Christ, non of your decrees will be respected in the realm of the spirit.  In other words, God cannot act for you when you speak.  If you desire to have this king of relationship with God, please say the following prayer and mean it from your heart:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for my sins and I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord for saving me.

Amen.
