God’s News is not Good News, or Great News. It’s the Best News!

JESUS IS LORD 

5 November 2014

Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

When is the right time to thank the Lord? When everything is going well or when everything is going wrong.

The bible says thank Him in all circumstances, whether you are happy or sad.

God is in the mist of whatever you are going through, He said He’ll never leave you nor forsake you.

 Psalm 107:1

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

King David was a man after God’s heart, He knew how to impress God.

Yes, he was not perfect, he committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband Uriah killed.

He committed Murder and adultery but he knew how to come back to His father and ask for forgiveness.

He knew how to touch God’s heart, by praising, worshiping and thanking Him.

He acknowledge God in whatever He does.

God’s love endures forever, it has no beginning nor no end.

His plans for you are not to harm you but prosper you, to give you hope and a bright future.

Be glad in your trials and tribulations, because in it comes patience and your reward is in heaven.

Continue to praise and thank the Lord when the situation seems impossible.

Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard for the LORD?..

Nothing is too hard for God, while we wait, let’s thank him for everything he’s done and going to do for us.



Deuteronomy 28:7
The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

Rest assured that God will fight all your battles today.

You may be facing problem after problem, but God is saying the problem will come but it will not succeed.
When you see a problem coming, just rest in Jesus knowing that God will scatter all your enemies.
They will make mistakes for your sake.
He will cause them to be confused, they won’t know how you made it.
The Lord says sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool, Hallelujah.
We serve a mighty God, He’s great in Battle.

They will be defeated before your eyes

Mathew 25:36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

Brethren, when you see your brother in church down, do you laugh, gossip or help? Sometimes you can see that one of your family member is in spiritual prison, he’s been tormented by demons.
You must stand in the gap in prayer for them and release them.
Don’t be glad at other people’s problems, but help them by praying for them.
Even the church prayed for Peter Acts 12:5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

Pray for others

2 Timothy 2:9

9for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!

Let us use our mouth to proclaim victory.

Maybe the devil has bound you with chains, in your hands and feet, you can’t do anything.
You feel helpless, can’t move and it seems like your situation will not change.
With the words of God, you can free yourself.
Praise God in the mist of the situation, with thanks giving, He’ll break every chain.
The word of God is sharp and is not bound, use it.

 He’s word is not bound.

Psalm 69:33

33For the Lord hears the needy

and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

Psalm 104:33
I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Sing to the Lord and praise Him because He deserve it.

He created you and everything that is in this earth.
He’s mighty in battle, He scatters all of your enemies.
Exalt His name and you’ll see wonders in your life.
Sing when you are sad or happy.

 Sing and praise the Lord

 Mathew 12:22

Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw.

Do you believe that the Jesus that healed the sick and deliver the oppressed still exist today.

Jesus can still cast out demons today, He’s got the power.
Some people they think that their sickness is normal and are nursing it with medication.
I’m sure you wonder why you are not getting any better.
When a demon causes you to be sick, the only way is to cast it out using the name of Jesus.
When the demon that was oppressing that man left, he was healed, he could see and even talk.
Today command the demon that is oppressing you and your family to leave in Jesus name.

 Demons must go
 

Genesis 37:5-10 - And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

Be careful who you tell your dreams to.

In Genesis 37, Joseph also had a dream and told his brothers, they were not happy and hated him.
He dreamt that his bunch stood up and theirs bowed to him and again he dreamt the sun, moon and eleven starts bowed to me.
His dream was obvious that he’ll be a leader in future, that’s why his brothers were jealous and sold him.
There’s some cases when people share their dreams with a close friend and the next thing the friend steals it.

 Protect your dreams

Mathew 2:13

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.”

Joseph had a dream that warned him to flee because Herod wanted to kill Jesus.

Can you imagine if Joseph said, this is just a dream and ignore it, what would have happened to our Lord and saviour.
God still speaks to us in dreams, he warns us of things to come.
There’s people who get ideas through dreams, like song writers, business man, some of the greatest inventors receive their ideas through dreams.

Be cautious of your dreams

   

Daniel 1:17 
 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Let us be alert when we dream.

Some dreams comes from God and the devil uses dreams to destroy us. You must learn to pray over your dreams for God to reveal the message to you. Daniel could interpret dreams, not only his dreams but other people’s dreams too. Pray that God should give you the spirit of understanding of dreams.

Understand your dreams

Joshua 10:8

The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."

Sit at the right hand of God my brother and sister, until He makes your enemies a footstool for your feet. Do not be afraid of your situation, God has given your enemies in your hands, you can do whatever you want with them.
Sometimes you can see problem coming, don’t be afraid, it will not withstand you.

None will withstand you  

1 Samuel 17:45-47

Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. "This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands."

Children of God, we have the name that is above all names.

The name of Jesus is powerful, the devil may come with his trick but we come with the name.
Tell your battle that you are coming with the name of Jesus.
Every knee shall bow in the name of Jesus.
Cancer, TB, diabetes, poverty, debts, confusion, disappointment, separation, divorce BOW and leave in Jesus name.
The Lord will deliver you today, it’s His battle.

 We come in the name of the Lord

1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus has defeated the devil at the cross.

He took our infirmities and sins when he suffered persecution.
He became poor so that we may be rich.
Therefor we have the victory, we have already won in Jesus Christ.

We are victorious

2 Chronicles 20:15

He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.

What battle are you facing today? Maybe there’s no peace in your home, huge debts, sickness.

The Lord says do not look at the situation because you serve a bigger God.
Do not panic, your God is a mighty warrior.
We are not fighting against flesh and blood, therefor God knows the enemy.
You are a winner in Christ Jesus.

The Battle is not yours

Acts 6:8

And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.

It’s by the Grace of God that the sick can be healed and the captive can be free.
When Jesus ascended to heaven, spiritual gifts descended to us on earth.
It is by his grace that we are able to use those gifts.
Some people they don’t know what is their spiritual gifts, pray about it and God will reveal it to you.

 We are full of Grace

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

 

Grace is one of the greatest gift God has gave us.

Grace means unmerited favour from the Lord.

It’s undeserved and we get it freely.

He watches over us while we were sinners and when we are saved.

We are saved from our sins, blessed, healed because of undeserved favour from the Lord.

We must know with confidence that through grace, God shows us kindness.

 

We thank God for His mercy and Grace

1 Thessalonians 5:8

give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thank the Lord in good times and bad times.
God says His grace is sufficient enough for you.
Whenever you are weak and then you are strong.
Be glad in your trials and tribulations because the testing of your faith produces endurance.
He’s power is made perfect in weakness.

It’s God’s Will

1 Timothy 4:4-5

 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,  because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

God doesn’t make mistakes, everything he created is good.

When he created heaven and earth, and everything in it, when he was done, he said, it is good.
Thank God for everything you have.
Some people might say, God made a mistake, why am I too short, too tall, or even working in this company.
Know that every perfect gift is from God, He knows His plans for your life.

 It is good

1 Chronicles 16:34

 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever

Proverbs 31:30

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

 

1 Corinthians 1:4-5

4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge

Do you thank God for your family, your husband, wife, children and so on?

Thank God for your Pastor, Prophet and spiritual mentor for the knowledge that God has given them.

We want what is good for our close ones.

Our father is the one that gives us knowledge and understanding of the word.

He gives us wisdom when we speak.

Today, tell your family that you thank God for them.

We thank God for His mercy and grace.

 

I thank God for you

 

Psalm 95:2-3

 

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.  For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.

Thank the Lord every day for He is good.
It doesn’t matter what you are going through today, with thanks giving, make your request known to Him.
Praise Him and lift His name up high because He’s your creator and you are alive today because of Him.
God wants to be praised, He says if you won’t praise him,  the rocks will  praise Him, Luke 19:14
The Angels they sing for Him, day and night, He is Holy.
Praise Him too, it makes our Lord happy and when He’s happy, you know what He’ll do for you.

Thank Him  Titus 2:3-5

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

They say that women drink more than their fathers this days.
The bible says that we must stay away from drinking too much wine, be sober minded.
Women of God are ambassadors of Christ, let people see the difference, bring people to Christ by your actions.
Young women should learn from the humble older women, let them teach the younger ones.
In Luke 8:1 women were also supporting Jesus’s ministry, they were following him, including the 12 disciples.
When Mary Magdalene was delivered of the 7 demons, she left her old life and follow Christ.

Let all the women that have been delivered through Jesus is Lord’s ministry or other ministry to follow Christ.
Share the word with other women, teach your children the gospel of Christ, pray together with your husband.

Share the Word

 

Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 

Since it’s a woman’s month, we are going to concentrate on women this week.
When you speak, what comes out of your mouth? Is it building or breaking?
What do you do as a Christian woman when other women are gossiping?
This are the question women should ask themselves.
Be that woman that when someone is in trouble, they’ll come to you for advice and prayer.
Your family, friends and everyone around you should be confident about you, that you speak only wisdom
Be kind to one another.
Speak life to every situation, don’t kill it by your tongue.
Prophecy life to your children, husband, family, finances, health and so on. 

Psalm 34:17-19 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

God didn’t say there won’t be trouble in our lives as Christians.
When you cry out for help, God is there to deliver us.
Psalm 121 lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

In your time of trouble, look up to God, He’ll help you.

God says Many are the afflictions (sicknesses, conditions, weaknesses) of the Righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all.
Doesn’t matter what you are going through today, know that the Lord will deliver you.
You may have 1 big problem or 10 different kinds of problems, know that God is near the broken hearted.
When your spirit is down and you feel like you can’t go on, know that He’s power is made perfect in weakness.

He’s our Deliverer

Habakkuk 2:2

And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.

Write down your vision when you get it.
You may get a vision through dreams, Holy Spirit, Prophets, inspirations, some say they had a thought or idea.
Write it down when you receive it, always going back to it, praying over it and make it happen.
Write down your prophecy so you won’t forget when it happens and thank the Lord.
You might  get a vision that you’ll start a saloon business for example, go even further by writing a business plan, get quotations and pray.
Words has no proof but writing never forgets.

Write your vision

2 July 2014

Habakkuk 2:3  

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

Do you get anxious when your vision or prophecy from God takes time to come to pass?

God says we must wait, He always keeps His promise.

He’s never late, He’s always on time, it might feel like it’s taking long, but he says He will not delay.

Don’t take matters into your own hands, trying to make the vision to be faster, it’ll only make you tired and frustrated.

Some people try to help God, by doing it themselves, trying to answer your own prophecy and get disappointed at the end.

Some people doubt that their prophecy will come to pass and then move to another direction.

When you get a prophecy that you’ll find a job, apply and wait, you’ll find it.

Your vision will come

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.

There are many ways that God uses to talk to His people, one of the way is through  prophecy.
He says that prophets are there to guide us, so we won’t walk blindly.
Prophets are there to tell us of things that happened in the past, that affects our future, they also tell us our future, what God plans for our lives.
You might be pursuing your dream to become a doctor while God wants you to be a teacher or a pastor, prophetic visions reveals it to us.
Maybe we are restraining or limiting ourselves, God is able to talk to us and direct us in the right path.
Know your prophetic vision

30 June 2014 Psalms 105:8

He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

He’s a Covenant keeping God, He’s promise remains forever.
Psalms 105:42  
For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;

God doesn’t forget, what He says, He does.
Do we keep our part of the covenant?
A covenant is between 2 or more people, as soon as you sign that contract, you are in a covenant.
Through Abraham, God says we are blessed and prosperous, let’s believe that word and take it.

Psalms 111:5
He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever.
24 June 2014Ecclesiastes
1Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; 2before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain,
Do you remember your Creator when things are fine or when you are in trouble?
Remember Him when you are young and healthy.
Worship and serve Him while you can, so when your days end, it’ll be well with you.
Remember Him when everything is going well, because when days are dark, you’ll know who’ll help you.
Remember your Creator

Mark 11:25

25And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”

Do you have problems forgiving and letting go? Maybe you were raped, someone killed your beloved one, your partner was cheating and abusive, someone lied or gossip about you.
These are tough situations to just forgive, what does our Father say? He says we must still forgive them because He also forgives us.
They say that more sickness are caused by un-forgiveness, it will make you sick, depressed and a bitter person.
Our Father knows that when we forgive, it’s for our own good, it makes us feel lighter, happier and better.

We are doing worse to Him, every day we sin and ask for forgiveness, He forgives us every time. We thank God for the blood of Jesus that cleanses our sins, we are righteous and are able to stand in front of Him in prayer.
Ask Him to help you forgive and He’ll give you peace that surpasses all understanding.

Forgive and He’ll forgive you.

Mathew 6: 9 - 10

9Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

When we pray, we pray to the father, Jehovah, in the name of His son, Jesus Christ.

We say our Father because that’s how personal He is to us.

When a son ask  for food to his biological father, he gives him.

Ask your Father in heaven anything, He’ll give you.

He’s name is Holly, that’s why we say, Hollowed be thy name, we cannot take His name in vein.

Our father wants us to respect and fear Him.

The beginning of knowledge is to fear our Father.

Let’s honour, respect, love and fear Him because He’s our father, just as you respect your earthly father.

Just like a father, He cares, protect and loves us, He wants what’s best for us.

Build a relationship with him, make Him your father.

He’s our God, but make Him your Father, which is a relationship that is unbreakable.

 He’s our Father

Romans 9:20

But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"

Those that are parents or guardians know that sometimes only your way goes in your house.

You know better than your kids, even though your baby is happy eating papers and shoes, you know that it’s not healthy for them and you’ll take it away.

You know that it’s not safe for your teen daughter to go out clubbing at night, so you’ll say no.

You also know that education is good for your kids and you do whatever you can to take them to school.

So why do we complain to our father, our creator, the one who formed us.

Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

God’s plan for you is for good, not to harm you, to give you hope and a bright future.

Let him be your God, your father, let Him direct and guide you because He loves you.

Be obedient to His Word and all shall be well with you.

Don’t talk back to God

9 June 2014

Genesis 2:7
Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Our God breath is so powerful, just by His breath, we came to life.
We can ask God to breath the breath of life to every dead area in our lives.
What Is dead in your life? Your finances? Health? Prosperity? Womb?
Speak life into your situation, prophecy life into your health.
He formed us out of dust, He’s able to make human out of dust, think about that.
Therefor he’s able to turn any situation around.
He can make a dry desert a flowing river.
He’s able to make your trouble home peaceful, turn your empty bank account to overflow with cash, make your womb fruitful and so on.
He can do things that we cannot even imagine.

He’s our creator.

John 11:40

Jesus *said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

Come to our deliverance and healing service tomorrow, if you believe you will see God’s glory.

 5 June 2014

Psalms 24:7-8

Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

What battles are you facing today?

God says that the battle is not your but His. Lift up your head to the King of Glory, He’s mighty in battle. He’s very strong, the way He used to fight and still fights for Israel, He’s able to fight for you too. You are fighting from victory and not to victory, you’ve already won in Jesus name.

 He’s the king of Glory

3 May 2014

Isaiah 49:3

He said to Me, "You are My Servant, Israel, In Whom I will show My glory."

 

Do you want to see God’s glory?Be His servant just like Israel, He has chosen you already.

They’ve seen God’s glory on Moses when he came down from the mountain.

He was shining that they couldn’t even look at him.

When he’s glory shines on you, people will see it, when people starts to ask that there’s something about you but they don’t know what it is.

When you are facing challenges and people still see God’s glory on you and ask, how do you do it.

When whatever you do prospers and people around you get blessed through you, that’s God’s glory, it’s contagious.

 May His Glory shine down on you.

Psalms 107:6 - Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and the life, whoever walks in Him, walks in the light.

He’s the light unto your feet, guiding you in your path.

Walk in the light and experience His peace.

He’s blood washes and cleanses us from all sin, making us perfect to stand in front of our father.

Have you ever felt like a dark cloud is over you and your house, or feel like you have bad luck as some people may say, everything in your life goes wrong?

Walk in the light and you’ll have joy.

 

Walk in the light

Luke 6:46
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

When you tell your child or nephew that he must go wash the dishes and doesn’t, when he calls you, you sometimes say, don’t call me until you’ve washed the dishes.

Same with our father in heaven, He is asking us why we are calling Him while we don’t want to do what He says.

He says we must be obedient to His word, we must have faith, believe and trust in Him, but we want to see with our own eyes before we can believe.

He say we must cast all our burden unto Him for He cares for us, but we are giving Him some and keeping some to ourselves.

He says knock and the door will be open for you, ask and it shall be given to you, instead we want to take matters into our own hands.

He says don’t worry about tomorrow, but you worry about even next year and get yourself sick, and then you want to call Him to heal you.

Do what He says and it’ll be well with you.

27 May 2014

Romans 6:8

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

Jesus Christ died for our sin, and therefor sin is dead.

Sin is the cause of death, so if sin is dead, that means we can no longer die.

We believe that we’ll also live with him forever because sin and death has been defeated at the cross.

Devil may try to remind you of your sins, your past, just show him the cross.

Do not even fear death,  because we’ve already died and we are now new born creation.

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour, accept Him and call Him to be the Lord of your life and you shall live.

We are alive in Christ

Mathew 10: 38

And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

 

Jesus say we must take the cross and follow Him every day.

What do you do when you wake up in the morning? Take a bath, brush your teeth, get ready to go to work, school etc.

Do you try to squeeze time for prayer in the morning before you start your day?

Let’s train ourselves to spare time for the Lord, read the bible and pray, not popcorn/rush rush prayers.

Wake up 30 mins earlier if you can’t make time for prayer in the morning.

Take His knowledge, peace, love wherever you go, pursue to follow Jesus.

When you lose your hour sleep for Jesus, you’ll gain life.

When you lose your grooving friends or even family for His sake, you’ll find life.

Try to please everyone, the believers and unbelievers, you’ll lose your life.

We cannot be Lukewarm Christians, we must make a decision every day, to carry the Cross.

 

Choose life

Psalm 103 : 1 – 2

 

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits,

 

Today let’s bless the Lord for everything He has done for us.

We sometimes have friends with benefits, e.g  friends that will be there for me emotionally, some Spiritually, some Financially, etc

Our Lord has benefits also, he has everything that we need, He’s all in one.
Let’s use the benefits that we get from the Lord and thank him.
When you get an insurance, you write down your beneficiaries, usually it’s your kids, same with God, we are His beneficiaries, we are on His will, the good thing is that we can access it even though He’s alive.

 

He’s our friend indeed.

Proverbs 3:1 -12

 

1 My son, do not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments,

2for length of days and years of life

and peace they will add to you.

3Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;

bind them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.

4So you will find favor and good success

in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

6In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

7 Be not wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

8It will be healing to your flesh

and refreshment to your bones.

9Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

10then your barns will be filled with plenty,

and your vats will be bursting with wine.

11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline

or be weary of his reproof,

12for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

Good advice from King Solomon, take it

1 Chronicles 17:20

"There is no one like you, LORD, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

 

The is no one like our God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

We’ve heard it with our own ears and seen it, that our God is alive.

Are you one of the people that still think God doesn’t exist? Or you think He only exist when everything is going well in your life?

When you face challenges, you wonder if God is here.

You can search far and wide, but you’ll find no other god than Jehovah.

Look around you, your life, the air you breath, nature, family, friends and a lot more, you’ll see Him.

He’s the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the great I Am, He’s name is Jehovah.

He’s Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our provider, when you are hungry, call Him.

He’s Jehovah Rapha, The Lord our Healer, when you are sick, call Him.

He’s Jehovah Nissi, The Lord our banner, when you need protection, call Him.

He’s Jehovah Elsheddai, My all sufficient Almighty, whatever you need, ask Him.

He’s Jehovah Hoseenu, The Lord our maker, He made you, He knows better than you, rest in Him.

 

Hallelujah!!!

Psalm 34:8

8Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

There are other aspects of our friendship with God that we shouldn’t ignore. David wrote Taste and see that God is good, Wend David wrote this psalm, he was from a horrible fighting experience. He was on the run from the murderous King Saul. But he had to take refuge among his enemies the Philistines. Faced with what seems to be a certain death. 1 Samuel 21:10-15, David pulled himself together and was able to get away.

Finally when David manage to escape, he only gave credit to God. In Psalm 34, he wrote, I inquired of God and he answered me and out of all my fights he delivered me. David could urge others to taste and see that God is good indeed.

Can you think of an experience in your own life that gives evidence of God’s love and care? If so, bow down now and give Him thanks.

Have a personal relationship with Him

Philippians 4:6

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

This scripture indicates that there are many things you can talk to God about. You can call on the Almighty God at any time of the day and night. You can speak to Him about your problems and anxieties, you can also include things that you are grateful for. We do find ourselves grateful to our friends for the things they do for us, so we should do the same with God, Jehovah.

Make Him your friend

John 10:11

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Jesus Christ is our shepherd, we shall not want.

He says that he lays down his life for the sheep, in other words, he died for us.

He died for our sins so that we can be saved and have life.

The good Shepherd make sure that his sheep are safe, protects them against snakes in the grass, poisonous plants, wolf etc

When we allow him to be the shepherd in our lives, we shall not go astray.

He will protect us against the devil and his tricks.

We must know His voice, when He talks to us, guiding us.

He says, “ I know my own and my own know me”, do you know Your Lord Jesus Christ?

Have a personal relationship with Him.

Let him guide you, comfort you, help you in each and every area of your life.

Know and say  : I cannot do  without Him, just like the sheep.

 

He’s the good Shepherd.

Mark 11:22

And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

 Do you want to see miracles happening in your life.

He said that in John 14:12 Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

Definition of Faith: Hebrew 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

You’ve got the power to move mountains in your life.

Believing the word of God that it says what it says you are, what you can do, what you can be.

Allowing God to work in your life and believing that you have received even though you haven’t seen it in physical yet.

May you move the mountains of debts, sickness, pain, suffering, struggle, problems in your life in Jesus name.

See yourself rich, healed, delivered, free because you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

 Have faith

Ephesians 3: 20

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

We worship the God of more than enough.

What do you want today? God is able.

He is able to do things that we don’t even think can happen, He’s the God of the impossible.

We’ve got the power within us, we must use it.

Pray and ask God for whatever you want or need, it shall be given to you.

I’m sure you are wondering that there’s got to be more than this, you are tired of living just by, of the everyday pain.

Some of you even accept your conditions, your sickness, and the way of living.

There’s got to be more than what you have right now.

May God of more than enough, the God of Abundance, All sufficient All Mighty, and Jehovah Elsheddai do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that work in us.

There’s more

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

 

What are you thinking about today? Do you have sleepless nights thinking about something? Is it from God?

God says that we must think about praising Him.

Think about all the things our Lord has done for you.

Think about all your loved ones, your church, the roof over your head, the food you eat every day, God’s goodness, mercy, grace, blessings etc…

When a bad thought comes in your mind, rebuke it and think about God’s faithfulness.

Meditate on the word of God instead of thinking about the past, your regrets, failures, someone who did you wrong, etc

 Praise the Lord

Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

God knows what you want before you even ask.

He knows you by name, he knows the number of your hair.

He knows what you need, he even feeds the birds of the air.

He says we must seek first the kingdom of God and all shall be added to us.

Ask and you’ll receive, knock and the door shall be open for you.

What do you need today? Financial breakthrough, healing, marriage…. God says He’ll supply it today.

We know that our father is rich, He created the heaven and earth, and everything in it.

May God supply all our needs today according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus, in Jesus name.

God Knows

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,
Christ start living in you immediately when you receive Him and the devil becomes your worst enemy.
There’s kingdom of God/Righteousness or kingdom of darkness, you can’t be on both.
You can resist the devil through God’s Word and praying.
When you start believing, you have the power and authority over demons.
We shall lay hands on the sick and they will be healed.
The devil has strongholds e.g a community where there’s too much murder, gangsterism… that spirit has a stronghold over that community.
We must stand in the gap for our communities, country, families, workplace etc. by praying.
 Be Prayerful

1 Peter 1:16

for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

As children of God, we must always work on being holy like our Father every day.

Stay away from sin and the devil will flee from you. The bible says that He wrote the law in our hearts, the Holy Spirit is there to guide us and show us the way. We must meditate on the word of God daily to be able to be holy.

Be holy

Luke 23:34
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

When Jesus was been crucified, He still care about the people, he showed compassion and mercy.

He understood that this crucifixion had to be done for us to be saved.

He also knew that the people didn’t knew what they were doing, the devil was using them for his purpose, not knowing that all things works out for good for all that believes in the Lord.

As it is written in Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Jesus knew the forces that were behind the people.

This shows how much our Lord Jesus Christ love us, He was not going to do this if He didn’t love us.

He’s forever faithful

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Our God is a merciful God, he loves and care for us.

He gave us another chance in life, there’s only one condition though, we can only get life through Jesus Christ.

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" (John 14:6

There’s a new birth, where we leave the old body and live in Spirit, following Jesus Christ.

In reply Jesus declared, 'I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.'" (John 3:3)”

The only way is to accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour, if you haven’t done that, please read

Romans 10:9 - If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Please say this words if you’ve never said it:

Lord Jesus, I confess with my mouth and I believe with my heart that Jesus Christ died and rose after 3 days, now He’s alive, Lord Jesus, come into my life and I make you my Lord and Saviour, in Jesus Name

Now that you’ve said those powerful words, you are now born again.

Please find a bible reading and prayer church, you can also come and join us every Saturday for prayer and deliverance service.

Choose life

Romans 6:8-11
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

As we are approaching Easter, let’s remember what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us.

Just as Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 31 says I face death every day--yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. We now die every day in Christ Jesus, leaving the flesh and living in Spirit.
We are now sin free, God sees us as perfect because of Jesus, and we are righteous.
The devil has no hold over us, he may try to remind you of your sin, just tell him that we are dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Sin is dead

14 April 2014

 

Romans 1:4-5 And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. (NLT)

Jesus Christ was raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit.

Good news is that we have the Holy Spirit in us, we have the power inside us.

We have the power to raise the dead by means of the Holy Spirit.

We have the power to raise the dead things in our lives, our dead finances,  marriages, health, spiritual life, businesses etc

Let people be witness of what God is doing in our lives, let them see our dead situations coming back to life.

We have the privilege and authority to share the Gospel, lets tell people about our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, so that they’ll also be saved.

We give God all the glory
