Pastor Chris
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)

before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). Abraham was called the Father of Faith because of the extraordinary faith he demonstrated. At age seventy-five, God appeared to him and said, “I have made thee a father of many nations.” Even though Abraham didn’t have a child at the time, and was called “Abram,” meaning “assumed father,” God could see that the man was already a father of many nations. He’s the God that quickens (gives life) to the dead, and calls things that didn’t exist as though they already existed. To God, Abraham’s future was history. God’s Word to Abraham, that he (Abraham) would be the father of many nations already established Abraham’s future. God didn’t have to do anything more to change Abraham’s status from being childless. However, it was up to Abraham to take a hold of God’s Word and run with it. One day, God brought him out in the night-time and told him to look up in the sky and count the stars (Genesis 15:5). Abraham tried but couldn’t number them, for they were uncountable. Then God said to him, “so shall thy seed be.” At that point, Abraham believed, and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Romans 4:3). As Christians, we're the seed of Abraham, and it makes no difference what point you are in life; God has established a glorious future for you. He said, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11). Your future is history with Him. Therefore, refuse to fret or worry over anything. By yourself, you can’t know the path of life that brings success, joy, victory and prosperity, but the Holy Spirit knows, and He’ll lead you in the path of greatness. Cheer up; your future is bright. PRAYER : Dear Father, I thank you for who I am in Christ. I’m the seed of Abraham and the world belongs to me. I refuse to worry or fret over anything because all things are mine already. You've made my life pleasant and my future is bright; for these I praise you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Prepare Your Heart For The Word.


But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (Matthew 13:23). In Acts 17:11, Luke, by the inspiration of the Spirit, compares the Jews who heard the Word in one city to those who heard the Word in another city. He wrote that those in Berea “...were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Thessalonica had a different response to the same message of the Gospel, compared to those in Berea, whom the Spirit describes as “more noble.” Do you know what it is for the Spirit of God to tell us that certain people were nobler than others? What was the distinguishing factor? The answer lies in the same verse 11: “...They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Those in Berea searched the scriptures; they studied to be sure that what they had been taught was really what the Word says. They received the Word with all readiness of mind. That means they prepared their hearts to receive the Word. There’re people who go to church all around the world, without preparing their minds to receive the Word of God. Don’t be that way. It’s important to prepare your heart to seek the Lord (2 Chronicles 12:14, 2 Chronicles 30:19). Become voracious for the Word; let your heart go out for the Word. Let nothing distract you from receiving the Word. Those in Thessalonica received the Word with arguments; they argued in their minds against the Word; they weren’t ready for the Word. Throughout the coming year, as you carefully study the Rhapsody of Realities devotional, and follow either the one-year or two-year Bible reading plan, receive all that the Lord has for you with readiness of mind. If you’d give the Word the right attention, you’d be amazed what God will do in your life, the revelations He’ll bring into your spirit to catapult you to higher realms of glory. PRAYER : Dear Father, I thank you for showing me the benefits of preparing my heart to receive your engrafted Word into my Spirit. I have a voracious appetite for the Word, for it’s the only dependable material to build my spirit, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I’m therefore positioned for a life of absolute success and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Ephesians 4:11-14 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; ; 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Anyone can be a success.



With that I welcome you again to 2015.
I will share these thought with you and then pray for you.

I will like you to turn into your bible find

:
2 Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in christ
and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.


In 2015 God will divinely position you to triumph always not sometimes.
Keep that in mind from January to december, you are made triumphant.
No matter what happen keep this in mind.


The simple meaning of triumph is a great or important victory, a great or notable success or achievement.


This year 2015 you will have a great and notable success and achievement.


You will prevail. As I say these words I am speaking them into your spirit.
What's resident in your person and that cannot be taken away from you. Put me any where I will be a success.
Joseph was a success in prison, from prison he became Prime minister of Egypt.
If you have it in you it will take you places.


Triumph also mean The successful ending of a struggle or a context.
Remember who you are,
I know who I am. In every place we are triumphant in physical places, geographical,
spiritual places every place I found my self.
He make me successful. Always and every.
He makes it happen always and in every place.
Glory to God.





I want to give you the keys.

Challenges of life will come from the world, the flesh and the devil.
But look at John 16:31-33

Jesus answered them, do you believe now.
Behold the hour cometh, yea, is now that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own,
and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.


33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

He over came the world for us and that makes me an over comer.
I am cheered up all the time.


Romans 8:32-37
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?


33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.


35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedne
14:58,







The Word says in 2 Corinthians 2.14

"But thanks be to God, who always
leads us in triumphal procession in
Christ
and through us spreads
everywhere the fragrance of the
knowledge of him".

Happy New Year. It's our Year of
Triumph.
The scripture quoted
above clearly shows us God's plan
for us this year.
It's a continual
victory parade as the MSG
translation states of the same verse:
"
And I got it, thank God! In the
Messiah,
in Christ, God leads us
from place to place in one perpetual
victory parade.
Through us, he
brings knowledge of Christ.

Everywhere we go, people breathe in
the exquisite fragrance".

As we meditate on this scripture,

we'll pray fervently for 15min at
12noon and 10pm (Local/GMT) in
the spirit, that is,
in tongues of the
spirit; and in faith declare these
words about ourselves, in first
person pronouns.
It will stir your
faith tremendously in the visions of
the spirit. God bless you.



He Needs You!




The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S:
but the earth hath he given to the children of men (Psalm 115:16).


If you had a house and leased it to someone, it remains yours,
but for the period of the lease, you have no authority over that house.
In other words, you can’t manage or run the house.
During the period, the lessee exercises authority over the property
and runs it according to the terms of the lease agreement.
In the same way, God has given man this world to run,
and for the time being, He can’t run the world by Himself;
He’s given you the authority to do that.
The time will come for Him to run the world but until then,
you and I have the divine responsibility to run the world for Jesus Christ,
and He will hold us accountable for how we ran our world.


Many, including Christians,
analyze the events and happenings in the world and wonder why God isn't
“doing” anything to right the wrongs.
Well, if you’re waiting on God to do something,
you’re making a mistake. He needs you.
He doesn't, and wouldn't, do anything without you,
until the lease runs out, and a new heaven and a new earth takes its place.
However, until then, the responsibility is ours to tame and subdue this world.






Look at it this way: God wants us healthy and sound, and stated it as His desire for us.
3 John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.”
Yet, in James 5:16, He said, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”


Why is that? Why does He want us to pray for one another so that we may be healed?
Why doesn't He just heal us?
It’s because He needs the right to take action on our behalf; so,
He charged us to pray. Therefore,
take your place as a joint heir with Christ and fulfil your purpose here on earth.


Read Romans 8:19-21; it puts it in perspective:
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,
but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered ,
from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
He needs you.



PRAYER


Dear Father,
I thank you for your power and ability vested in me to run this world.
I’m your seed, prolonging your days here on earth.
Therefore, I fulfil my divine responsibility of bringing men and women into their inheritance in Christ,
through the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,

Jeremiah 51:20-21 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war:
for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider;
and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

Know your purpose in Him


.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world...
(John 18:37).


''Is it easy for one to find out His purpose on earth from the Lord?"

Someone might ask. Emphatically yes! He's a master communicator.
If you'd ask Him about His purpose for your life,
He'll talk about His purpose for your life,
He'll talk to you in a language that you'd understand;
He'll lead you in life into that which He has called you to be.
All you have to say is "Lord, guide my spirit;
I want to be all that you want me to be;
lead me into that which you have chosen me for."
Then, follow your spirit, as He leads you.


There're times that the Spirit of God ,
could strengthen your heart towards something or against a particular thing.
That's an indication of His guidance in your spirit.
When He strengthens your heart against a particular thing,
it may not necessarily be because that thing is wrong,
but because the timing might be wrong.
Nonetheless, if you'd listen to Him in your spirit and follow the Word,
you'll walk in His perfect will always.
He'll make you a success at every level of your life.






Perhaps you were wondering and thinking what new investments to undertake,
what new frontiers to chart or what business to embark on.
Listen to Him in your spirit and He'll guide you aright.
Often, we say any project, business or vision that's good for people and glorifies God is okay;
but that's in the general class.
There're specific things that are peculiar to you as a person;
which means even though such may be good for God and good for people,
God may not want you particularly to go into it.


This is the reason you must find out your purpose in
Him and know for yourself what direction to take in fulfilling the destiny that He has for you.
That's why we learn the word of God,
and get the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
The more you recognize His voice within your spirit, understand His word, and live by it,
the clearer His voice will be within you for everything in life.
That way, you'll never be confused about what to do, where to go etc;
you'd become the revelation of God's will in your daily walk.



PRAYER

Blessed Father, thank you for leading me in the paths of success,
victory, and rest by the Holy Spirit, who is my all.
I'm completely yielded to Him as He leads me to make accurate decisions,
and walk in the center of your perfect will, always, in Jesus' Name. Amen

Maintaining Inspiration .



Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor;
be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMP).






One of the striking benefits of prevailing prayer and meditating on the
Word is that they help you maintain the fire of the Spirit.
The only way I’ve kept my spirit aglow for so many years is through prevailing prayer,
and consciously setting my mind to meditate on the Word.
It doesn’t matter what you’ve studied or known about God;
it doesn’t even matter what blessings you receive from the Lord;
if you’re not a praying person,
you’ll lose the spiritual fervour or glow that comes with the Word.
There’s something about the Word of God that has power.
It’s not in the words and how they sound;
it's not even in the message itself that it communicates; no.
It’s in the power of the Spirit that’s wrapped up in it.
Recall what we read in our opening verse:
The Moffat’s translation uses the phrase,
“Maintain the glow,” for “fervent in Spirit.”
There’s a glow of the Spirit in your life that you must maintain through fellowship ,
with the Lord in prayer and meditation on the Word.


Something that meditation does for you is that it drives the
Word deep into your spirit and causes it to mingle with your spirit.
So, when you study the Word of God, meditate on it; that means, mutter it!
When you read or hear the Word, as the case maybe,
say it aloud to yourself repeatedly so that it gains the ascendancy,
in your spirit until it becomes a part of you.
Then the glory of it will be manifested in your life.

Prayer, on the other hand, is equally very impactful on your spirit.
The importance of prayer isn’t so much about the answer that you receive when you pray,
but the impact your fellowship with the Lord in prayer has on your spirit; it causes your spirit to glow.
Every time you pray, your spirit becomes even more glorious than it was before you began praying.
That glory is retained in your inner man and then you find yourself walking in the paths of destiny;
you find yourself being at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things.


Be aglow in the Spirit, through prayer and study of the Word!







PRAYER


Dear Father,
I thank you for the power of your Word and prayer on my spirit.
Your Word builds me up, and causes me to walk in your perfect will always.
And when I pray, I’m transfigured; my inner man is built up like an edifice,
higher and higher, and my spirit is glorified.
I’m aglow with the Spirit, serving the Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.



Further Study:
Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end,
that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; ;

2-Year Bible Reading Plan: Matthew 3:1-9

The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people.
And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade.
Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women.
As a result of the apostles’ work,
sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats ,
so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by.
Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem,
bringing their sick and those possessed by evil spirits,
and they were all healed.




THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSINGS  OF THE GOSPEL.

And I am sure that, when I come unto you,
I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ  (Romans 15:29).






Could this be possible in the earth?
Can a man have, and walk in the fullness of the blessing of the   Gospel?
Emphatically yes! We just read it.
Paul, as he planned his missionary journey to the Roman Christians, via Spain,
was convinced he’d be carrying in him, and with him, the fullness of  the  blessing  of  the  Gospel.
This  is  extraordinary.  It completely debunks the erroneous and religious belief ,
that as long as we’re in the earth,we can never have the fullness of God’s blessing.


It’s important for us to understand the greatness and infinite wisdom and power of almighty God;
He’s the author and creator of “fullness.”
This was what gave the Apostle Paul the audacity of faith to make such a bold declaration of the Word.
He walked in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ,
and hoped to visit the Christians in Rome to impart the same to them.


What does this mean to you even now?
Are you aware that you can, and should,
walk in the fullness of the blessings of  the  Gospel  of Christ?
The  very  thought  of  it,  the understanding of it will completely revolutionize your life.
Consider  Peter;  He  also  understood  this  and  functioned accordingly.
No wonder he declared that we’re associates of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4);
we belong in God’s class, and should therefore live with this consciousness.


John, writing to the Church, said, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
These men understood what it meant to walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ;
they knew what Christ had made us and they spoke and lived accordingly.
The Bible says, “Of His fulness,” talking about Christ, “have we all received…”
(John 1:16). You received the fullness of God’s blessing when you received Christ,
because Christ is EVERYTHING!
Walk in this light, for the fullness of God is in Christ, who is in you.



PRAYER ( SAY THIS ALOUD )


Dear Father,
I thank you for the revelation of your Word to me;
my  life  is  improved!  I’m  a partaker of the divine nature.
I live in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.
I’m joined to the Lord and that makes me impregnable,
and  more  than  a conqueror,
winning every day by your  grace,
in  Jesus’  Name.   Amen.

NEUTRALIZE THE ADVERSARY!



For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).


Sometimes in our walk of faith,
we encounter circumstances that pose some serious challenges to our faith.
It could be in the area of church growth.
For instance, may be as a pastor,
you’ve done everything you thought you should do and applied all the strategies you know of,
yet your church is not growing.
Now, you’re thinking what next to do.






At such a time, it’s important to look at things from the spiritual perspective and realize
that there’s an adversary who is all out to oppose the Gospel and God’s children.
Ephesians 6:10-11 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
The wiles of the devil refer to the stratagems of the devil, the “lying in wait” of the devil.
The Apostle Paul, here, wants you to know that there’s an enemy that’s lying in wait,
strategizing against you, and against the Church.


But to counter this enemy, he tells you to put on the whole armour of God.
Why? It’s because he knows that if you don’t put on the whole armour of God, you’ll be vulnerable.
Verse 12 of the same chapter goes on to say, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Now, something about this wrestling is that it’s not just a fight as in physical combat;
rather, it’s the adversary trying to sway you from the right path through deception.
The only way you win in this kind of battle is to do what the Word says. Resist him.


James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Revelation 12:11 also shows us how to resist, neutralize, and put the adversary to flight.
It says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
So, no matter what the enemy throws at you,
neutralize him by standing strong on your faith in the blood of Jesus and by the word of your testimony.
That blood reconciled us to God, gave us life, cleanses us from all sin,
and it’s on the mercy seat before God in heaven.
The word of your testimony, which refers to your testimony of God,
is really your faith’s proclamation of the Word at work.



PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father,
I give you thanks for the opportunity to blessed by your precious Word today.
I’m not ignorant of Satan’s devices, and I refuse to fall prey to them.
Through my faith in the precious blood of Jesus and by the word of my testimony,
I put Satan and all his cohorts of hell where they belong—under my feet—
in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

12:31,

I just received this powerful exhortation from a friend,
please read n pass it on. A Generation of Young Christians

1. We are always right and we never accept
correction..
A corrector is seen as an enemy

2. We love to sing in church, but do not read
our bibles at home

3. We are full of lust, sensuality and emotions
and we call it love

4. we want to have wonderful marriages,
but
by the time we are 25years we've spent almost
ten years in relationships already.
Sometimes
we may have had more boy lovers and girl
lovers than even our parents.

5. Sexual activities are now part of our
relationships calling it romance





6. we want to be rich in life, meanwhile we
spent all our finances on the latest ipads,
iphone,
galaxies, htcs, laptops, cameras etc
which in many cases we use less than 30% of
their functions

7. We do not pay our tithes and offerings
claiming we are students

8. We say we are christian women but dress
like hollywood stars and we call it fashion

9. We love pleasures rather than God

10. In church you will see us with our hands
lifted up singing slow songs ,
which we call
worship but on our phones in our pockets,
you
will see pics of naked and half naked women,
hip hop, hip life and we have a nice way of
justifying it.

11. We are hardly convicted when we go to
church ,
because our hearts have been hardened
by the deceitfulness of sin and pride...etc





But God forsaw this and warned us in 2Tim.
3...
That in the last days
men and women will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters,
proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-
control,
brutal, despisers of good, traitors,
headstrong, haughty,
lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God, having a form of godliness
but denying its power.

We need to change our ways, we have no
excuse on judgement day, Repent.
The Word says in 1 Corinthians 15:57-58,
“But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain".





YOU'RE EXTRAORDINARY.


But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26).






Have you ever imagined the fact that the creator of the universe resides in you,
in His totality?
The Holy Spirit beautified the heavens.
The Bible says, “By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens…” (Job 26:13).
This awesome Third Person of the Godhead made everything in the universe;
yet, He chose to live in you. Think about it.
1 Corinthians 3:16 states clearly that you’re the temple of God,
and that the Holy Spirit lives in you. Have you ever considered why?
It’s because you’re important to the Father.


God made it so, for the Holy Spirit to live in you,
because you’re important to Him and He wants you to be just like Him.
He gave you His Spirit—the same Spirit He has—
to live in you and make you fulfilled in life and full of joy,
such that anything you get involved with will be full of glory;
so you can be a success in anything and everything.


As a child of God, you’re the unveiling of the person of the Holy Spirit.
He expresses Himself through you.
He talks to you, and also talks through you. He leads and guides you; yet, He moves you;
He propels you in the way that you should go: the way of righteousness.
He's such a unique and awesome personality.
If you're born again, be glad about the Holy Spirit;

Prayer

Dear Father,
I thank you for leading and guiding me in life by your Spirit;
I go forth in confidence today,
knowing that I’m backed by deity.
My life is full of glory and I succeed in all endeavours,
because the Holy Spirit is the essence, beauty, and glory of my life,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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

John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him, t
he same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.

HIS LIQUID LOVE.


But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through
him (Romans 5:8-9).

The message of Jesus Christ is encapsulated in one thought:
It’s about His liquid love, His life, forgiveness and righteousness.
His love is liquid because it flows.
The Bible talks about
the love that the Father poured out lavishly-like water upon all men
—through Christ Jesus.

Such extraordinary love did He express and direct towards us,
that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
He didn't die for us because we were living right; no.
He did it
while we were yet sinners. That's love indescribable; liquid-love extraordinaire.

When you understand this about Jesus, about His life, who He is,
and the fact that He gave
His life to save you, then you’ll understand what God thinks about you;
how He values you. His vicarious death defines your value.
He thought you were worth His life; so He gave His life in your place.
This shows that you’re as valuable to the Father as Jesus is.
No wonder the Lord Jesus, pouring out His heart to the Father in prayer,
wanted the world to know that the Father has loved us even as He had loved Him (John 17:23).

How inspiring it is to know that Jesus gave His life, so that you may have it.
The life you ought to live now should be the life of the Son of God; live His dream.
Paul boldly declared in Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Living by the faith of the Son of God means you’re living His dream;
you’re living what He saw and thought that you could be,
for which reason He died for you!
What He saw in His mind about you:
What He thought, what he wanted;
His dream of what you could be!
Don’t live a lesser life.
Live God’s dream, remembering His liquid love towards you.
He thought you were valuable and special,
wanted you, and gave Himself for you.


PRAYER

Dear Father,
I thank you for lavishly pouring out your love on me,
demonstrating that I’m
worth the life of your Son Jesus.
Therefore, I’m motivated to reach out to sinners and win
them to Christ.
I’m compelled by your love to preach the Gospel to them,
and turn them from
sin unto righteousness,
and from the power of Satan unto you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.







FURTHER STUDY:

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
breadth,
and length, and depth, and height;
19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

1 John 4:8-10 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested
the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that
we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

In Psalm 5:3-4, David said "My voice shalt thou hear in the morning,

neither shall evil dwell with thee".









MAKE YOUR TONGUE YOUR TREE OF LIFE .

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
but
perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit
(Proverbs 15:4).

Using your mouth rightly is a vital key that
unlocks the blessings of salvation in your life!

Stressing the importance of this,
1 Peter
3:10-11 says, “For he that will love life, and see
good days,
let him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile.”
Though
your tongue is small, it controls everything in
your life;
with it, you can chart your course in
righteousness, dominion, success, and
prosperity.
There's no situation that can’t be
changed,
and no wound in your body that can’t
be healed,
if you'd make your tongue your own
tree of life by declaring God’s Word over your
life and situation.

The word, “wholesome” in our opening verse is
translated from the Hebrew word, “marpe,”

which means healing and health. A
“wholesome” tongue, therefore, is a tongue
that’s curative,
a fountain of life,because it's
filled with the Word of God!





Speak God’s Word; speak health, wellness,
and
life to your body; that’s what your mouth is for.

Your mouth wasn’t given to you merely for
eating and drinking;
its greater use is for
controlling your life.
Your present position in life
is the result of your “mouth-work.”
Matthew
12:37 says, “For by thy words thou shalt be
justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned,”
letting you know that you’re to
regulate your life with your tongue:
What you
say is what you get!

Often times, there’re those who wonder why the
circumstances of their lives,
and their
experiences,
don't seem to align with the
wonderful blessings and provisions of the
Gospel,
despite being born again for several
years.
The reason for this dilemma is that they
haven’t made their tongue their own tree of life.

You can be anything you want to be, have
anything you want to have,
and achieve
anything you want to achieve within God’s
perfect will.
The key is in regulating your life
with your tongue, making your tongue your own
tree of life!



PRAYER

Dear Father,
I thank you for your grace that has
brought salvation to my spirit.
With my mouth, I
keep on proclaiming that all the blessings of
salvation—
health, prosperity, safety, wellness
and wholeness—consummated by the death,

burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
are my
present-hour possessions and vital realities of
my daily existence,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

saith shall come to pass;
he shall have

CHART THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR TONGUE.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

Having given your heart to Christ,
if you suddenly found that you’re being buffeted by all kinds of temptations,
persecutions, and trials, don’t cower or allow your faith to dissipate.
In the face of such daunting challenges, and seemingly overwhelming oppositions,
declare, “I’m more than a conqueror!”


Remember what the Word says:
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution”
(2 Timothy 3:12). So when adversities come, don’t gripe;
rather, maintain your composure because your victory is assured.
The Lord Jesus made it clear that we would face tribulations, challenges and difficulties,
and no one should be ignorant of that.
Nevertheless, He assures us of victory all the way.


Isaiah 43:2 tells us, “When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
Notice He didn’t say there’ll not be trouble,
no; but that it’ll be of none effect.


Recall the testimony of the three Hebrew boys in Daniel chapter 3:
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
They were thrown into the fiery furnace;
yet they came out of the raging inferno unscathed.
Before their glorious deliverance, there was condemnation, rejection,
false accusation, and hatred.
So the story wasn’t only about their miraculous deliverance from fire,
but also about the storm they weathered hitherto.


There’re things you might have to go through in life,
as you carry out the ministry that the Lord has given to you;
endure such with hope, confident that victory is assured.
The Apostle Paul, attesting to this, writes,
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed…”
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

There’re adversaries on every side but in the midst of them all,
the Word of God puts you over. Therefore, refuse to fear, for the Lord is with you.






PRAYER


Dear Father, I thank you for leading me always to triumph, and helping me win every day,
against every odd or adversity. I exercise my authority in Christ,
over all the ability of the enemy, and I’m victorious now and always,
in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ;

I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

While a man was polishing his new car,
his 6 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.
In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times;
not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital,
the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.
When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked,
'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'
The man was so hurt and speechless;
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions.......
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;
the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .
Anger and Love have no limits;
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
But the problem in today's world is that,
People are used and things are loved....
In this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used, but People are to be loved.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Do u know the relationship between your two eyes?
They blink together, move together, cry together,
see things together & sleep together.
Even though they never see each other.
Friendship should be just like that!
Life is vanity without FRIENDS.

Good shinning stars. Your victory is assured, believe it!
Live the victorious life.
Make confessions based on the Rhapsody of Reality message
I'M MORE THAN A CONQUEROR .


TROUBLE IS OF NONE EFFECT TO ME

.
WHATEVER I GO THROUGH, I ENDURE WITH HOPE,
CONFIDENT THAT VICTORY IS ASSURED.


FATHER I THANK YOU FOR LEADING ME ALWAYS TO TRIUMPH,


I THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME WIN EVERYDAY,
AGAINST EVERY ODD OR ADVERSITY

I EXERCISE MY AUTHORITY IN CHRIST,
OVER ALL THE ABILITY OF THE ENEMY,


I'M VICTORIOUS NOW AND ALWAYS,


IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN
