Do you believe?

Sunday, July 31st Do you believe? “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life …” John 3:36 From our opening scripture, it is evident to us that believing is the key to receiving from God. Romans 10:11-14 say, “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?...

God is at work in you.

Saturday, July 30th God is at work in you. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:13 You are not alone. God is in you, energizing you and producing in you the desires and the ability to do His good pleasure. God is working in you, talking in you, talking through you and loving through you. You have become God's headquarters on earth today. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” You have been made God's...

Cast out devils.

Friday, July 29th Cast out devils “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; …” Mark 16:17 Today I want you to know, according to the Word of God, that every Christian can cast out devils. Jesus said in Matthew 12:28, “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” Therefore, every time we cast out devils, we are demonstrating the power of the kingdom of God. As a Christian you must understand that the devil has been completely defeated and put under...

As He is...

Thursday, July 28th As He is … “… because as he is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17 Our opening scripture really dawned on me many years ago when the Lord shared with me what I am going to share with you today. The Lord said, if I am as He is, whatever is in Him that made Him what He is, is in me. Also, if I am as He is, whatever is on Him that made Him what He is, is on me. And if I am as He is, whatever He has that made Him what He is, I have it. That rocked my world. This is why we say that Christianity is not a religion; it is a...

It matters what you say.

Wednesday, July 27th It matters what you say. “I create the fruit of the lips; …” Isaiah 57:19a One of the things you need to change for you to become all that God wants you to be is to change what you say. What are you saying about your life? What you are saying is what God will create for you. This works whether you are a Christian or not. Your words are deciding the outcomes of your life. That is why before an unbeliever can be saved, he has to speak the right words. He has to confess the Lordship of Jesus with his mouth; otherwise he will...

See your real picture.

Tuesday, July 26th See your real picture. “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” John 5:19 Jesus emphasized to us in our opening scripture that He can only do what He sees the Father do. This means that you cannot do, unless you see first. Therefore, your inner image is what decides your outward outcomes. Do you see yourself healing the sick? There is a minister of the gospel...

Truly, truly...

Monday, July 25th Truly, truly, … “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12 Jesus said in our opening scripture, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, …” Some Jewish scholars say that the word 'verily' is used to convince your hearer that what you are saying is very true. So the word 'verily' could also mean 'truly.' This means that, what Jesus is saying to us in our opening scripture is the truth no matter how...

Trust God's timing.

Sunday, July 24th Trust God's timing. “God makes everything happen at the right time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11a (CEV) It takes humility to trust God's timing. Do not try to make anything happen before the time. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (CEV) says, “Everything on earth has its own time and its own season.” When you jump the gun in God's timing, you make your life difficult. When you study the life of Jesus, you will notice that He made sure He stayed within the confines of God's timing. For instance, when His mother Mary came to Him and told Him that they...

Learn from Jesus 2

Saturday, July 23rd Learn from Jesus 2. “And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:51 Notice from our opening scripture that Jesus increased in wisdom as he subjected Himself to His parents. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:5, “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the...

Learn from Jesus 1.

Learn from Jesus 1. Friday, July 22nd “And He went down with them and came to Nazareth and was [habitually] obedient to them; …” Luke 2:51(AMP) Your attitude to parental authority reflects, to a great extent, your attitude to divine authority. Rebellion is, first of all, a spiritual condition before it appears in conduct. Jesus our ultimate example was meek and lowly in heart. He did not rebel against His parents. The Bible says He was habitually obedient to them. In other words, He was submissive. He had respect for His parents. There are...

Be strenghtened.

Thursday, July 21st Be strengthened. “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;” Ephesians 3:16 True strength comes from the human spirit. The word 'strengthened' in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'krataioo;' it means 'to empower,' 'to increase in vigor,' 'to be strengthened,' 'to wax strong in spirit.’ This is a prayer I also encourage you to pray for yourself if you desire to be strong in spirit. You will pray that God will strengthen you in...

Why tongues?

Wednesday, July 20th Why tongues? “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; …” 1 Corinthians 14:4a One way you can grow your spirit strong is by praying in other tongues. It is so important that you pay attention to the condition of your spirit and that is why speaking in tongues is recommended for your personal spiritual development as a child of God. Speaking in tongues will not only edify you, it will also improve you. 1 Corinthians 14:4a (AMP) shows us that, “He who speaks in a [strange] tongue edifies and improves himself,”...

Receive rhema

Tuesday, July 19th Receive rhema. “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 The word 'word' in Matthew 4:4 above refers to 'rhema' in the Greek. This refers to 'an utterance,' 'the speaking word,' 'the spoken word;' 'it is God's word to a specific person at a specific time for a specific purpose.’ Go for rhema. Rhema is received by revelation and it is revelation that accentuates growth. Therefore, when you receive the Word of God you...

Balanced growth.

Balanced growth. Monday, July 18th “And Jesus matured, growing up in both body and spirit, blessed by both God and people.” Luke 2:52(MSG) From our opening scripture, it is obvious to us that Jesus grew physically and spiritually. That is balanced growth. This means that spiritual growth is as important as physical growth. Do not just concentrate on feeding yourself physically; prioritize feeding yourself spiritually as well. Matthew 4:4(MSG) says, “Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: "It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady...

Be like Jesus.

Sunday, July 17th Be like Jesus. “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15:4 God wants us to learn from the scriptures. Growing up as a child, I remember learning the acronym B-I-B-L-E as Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. I think you should teach the same to your children. The scripture is God's guide book for our living on earth. Therefore, if we are going to learn from Jesus, we must go to the Bible and read the scriptures...

Full of grace and truth.

Saturday, July 16th Full of grace and truth. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 Our opening scripture shows us that Jesus was full of grace and truth. This means that Jesus is the embodiment of grace and truth. In John 14:6 Jesus said, “… I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” This shows us that truth is not a principle, truth is a person. In Titus 2:11 the Bible says, “For...

Greater glory.

Friday, July 15th Greater glory. “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 Our opening scripture shows us that the glory of Christ revealed from me could be more or less than the glory of Christ revealed from you. So the glory from you can be stronger and greater, making you more loving and kinder than someone else because you have exposed yourself to the glory of Christ more than that person has. So the...

Change your view.

Thursday, July 14th Change your view. “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2 The word ‘sons’ in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'teknon' which refers to ‘one begotten or born’. This means that everyone that is born again is born of God. When you look at yourself from the human point of view, you may find it difficult to believe that you are born of God, but the Bible shows you from...

Made like Him.

Wednesday, May 13th Made like Him. “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:10-13 Many of the Jews in Jesus’ day did not recognize who He was because they were focusing on His humanity. They saw Him eat the same food they ate. They...

Jesus is the Christ.

Tuesday, July 12th Jesus is the Christ. “And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 16:16-17 Opinions are man-made perceptions but revelation is seen from God's perspective. In Islam, they call Jesus a prophet. Some cults say Jesus is a Christ, because there are many other christs. Both Islam and the cults are wrong because those are the opinions...

What is your revelation?

Monday,July 11th What is your revelation? “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Matthew 16:13 Religion is the worship of God based on human assumptions. Religion is also the worship of God based on human tradition or the traditions of men. From where do you get your revelation? For some people their view of God is based on what their father told them. I want you to know that the accurate view of God can only be gotten from the Word of God. What you...

Change by the Word

Sunday, July 10th Change by the Word. “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 If you want to break a bad habit, instead of focusing on your weakness, focus on getting to know Jesus. Therefore as you contemplate Jesus Christ in the Word of God, you will become like Him. What you behold is what you become. Therefore, as you are beholding in the Word of God, the glory of the Lord, you are changed into...

Jesus is Lord

Saturday, July 9th Jesus is Lord. “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:” Romans 1:4 The divinity of Jesus Christ was fully demonstrated by His resurrection from the dead. God declared Him to be His Son with power, that all men may know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God in truth. All other false Prophets who have laid claims to divinity are all dead, but Jesus Christ is the Lord of hell and death. Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 after He rose from death: “All power...

Do you know Him?

Friday, July 8th Do you know Him? “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19 There is a popular minister in America who said, as she was praying one day thanking the Father (God) that she knows Him, the Lord answered her saying, “You do not know me.” She replied saying that she knows Him because she has raised the dead, healed the sick, etc. The Lord answered and said to her, “You can raise the...

Go for revelation knowledge 2.

Thursday, July 7th Go for revelation knowledge 2. “…but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32b When you know God, that Knowledge empowers you. If you are struggling with spiritual weakness, get to know God and His Son Jesus Christ. That is what has got me to where I am today. Naturally, I should not be here. When I was growing up, I did not know many ministers; neither did I have any access to meet with any great man of God at that time because I did not know any of them. I only made knowing Jesus...

Go for revelation knowledge 1.

Wednesday, July 6th Go for revelation knowledge 1. “…but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32b If your desire is for God to do great things through your life, then the obsession of your heart should be to know Jesus. Knowing Him refines our character, transforms and strengthens us. It is possible to know the Bible and not know God or Jesus just like the chief priests and scribes. They knew what was written in the scriptures about the Son of God, yet they did not recognize Jesus when He was born....

Trust Him

Tuesday, July 5th Trust Him. “Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 (AMP) The measure of grace available to you is equivalent to the measure of your trust in God. Also, the measure with which I trust (lean on, rely on and am confident) in God is a true reflection of my faith in Him. There is a lady in our church who wanted to have a child for many years. Her husband was a medical doctor so they tried and...

Get to know Him

Monday, July 4th Get to know Him. “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Matthew 16:13 What is your opinion of Jesus? For some persons, Jesus is a man. For others, He is a teacher, rabbi, the founder of a religion, etc. No matter what your opinion of Jesus may be, there is more to Him. Therefore, it is important that you have a clear revelation of Jesus from the Bible because your revelation of Jesus determines the quality of your Christian experience. Matthew...

Access grace.

Sunday, July 3rd Access grace. “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord” 2 Peter 1:2 Grace is multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. What is grace? Grace means unmerited favour. It also means divine ability or divine empowerment. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord said, “…My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness…” This means that when grace is sufficient towards you it means it is enough. It also means it will put you over and...

Why did Jesus come?

Saturday, July 2nd Why did Jesus come? “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 Jesus came to reveal the Father (God). Jesus made it possible for us to have intimacy with the Father. There is no religion in the world that calls God Father, but in Christianity, man is made to have a vital relationship with God as Father. Christianity is men becoming sons of God. In John 14:7 Jesus said, “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know...

Friday, July 1st Worship Jesus. “Scripture says, "As certainly as I live, says the Lord, everyone will worship me, and everyone will praise God."” Romans 14:11(GW) During my days in the university, I met a young man who said he does not believe we should sing songs of worship to Jesus. When I asked why? He gave me the instance in Luke 18:18-19, “And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.” So, his point was...
