The reality of God 1

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.”
Romans 1:18-19(KJV)

Today it is clear from our opening scripture that everybody is born with an inner knowledge of the reality of God. This is because the Bible says in Romans 1:19, “… that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.” This means that there is no unbeliever that can say, “I don't believe in God” without having a conviction from his conscience. There is the consciousness of the reality of God in the life of every unbeliever.

There was a time a minister of God was preaching the gospel in the American military and a young man came to him and said, “Am an atheist, I don't believe that there is a God.” The minster answered and said to him, “you know there is a God, but you just want to deny it.” After that conversation, that same young man later came to him at night crying and said, “I know there is a God, but I don't just want to accept it because I just can't live right.” The minister then showed him how much God loved him from the Bible and then led him to Christ.

From this fact we can see that atheism is not the belief of the non-existence of God, it is rather the denial of the existence of God. This is because “… that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.”

CONFESSION
I believe in One God who created the heavens and the earth. I believe in the trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I believe in Jesus Christ that He is the only true God and eternal life. He is the Saviour of the world and He is the Lord of my life. In Him I live, in Him I move, in Him I have my being.

You and your faith

“… O ye of little faith?”
Matthew 6:30(KJV)

Do you know that your faith is a reflection of your confidence in God's power? (Jeremiah 51:15) This is because God has showed us His eternal power and Godhead from creation. When you know this, you will begin to understand why Jesus told those who had little faith to observe creation.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:26-30, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?”

Therefore since God takes care of the things that have been created without any effort of theirs, how much more will He take care of you. Do you know you are of more value to God than all other created things? You know the value of a thing by what was paid for it. Jesus is the true measure of your value because God gave Jesus for you.

The Bible says in Romans 8:32, “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?” This lets you know that God is willing to give you whatever you require for your well being with ease. So no matter the job you do, there is sufficient grace upon your life to prosper without sweat.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I receive sufficient grace to prosper and to excel in all that I lay my hands to do. God's grace is upon me to prosper without sweat. My eyes are anointed to see my opportunities and to maximize these opportunities for increase and productivity in Jesus Name.

Change is commensurate to 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(KJV) 

The Spirit of the Lord will only change you according to what you know in the Word of God. This change the scripture is talking about here is according to what you see or behold in the Word of God.

So if you are not listening to the Word of God, the Spirit of God has nothing to change you with.
In Genesis 1:2, the Bible says, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” So we see that the Spirit of God was moving but nothing was created because there was no Word from God yet.

Therefore, if you want the Spirit of God in you to do wonders in your life and produce changes and transform your life, you would have to feed yourself with the Word of God by studying it and confessing it. It is what you confess that the Spirit of God will take and create in your life.

Your change is according to your exposure to the influence of God's Word and His Spirit. The Spirit of God always works with the Word of God in you. Therefore your change is commensurate to the Word of God in you.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I do not get sick because by the stripes of Jesus I was healed. In the Name of Jesus I declare that the wisdom of God is in my mind, I have more wisdom than all my teachers. In the Name of Jesus my tongue is as the pen of the reader writer, I speak the right words. My words are full of power and they minister grace to them that hear me always in Jesus Name.

The divine nature

“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
2 Peter 1:4(KJV)    

The word nature in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'phusis' which also means natural inclination. This means that our opening scripture is letting us see that we share in the ability to live naturally in God's realm.

Therefore being a partaker of the divine nature makes it possible for us to live like our Father God naturally. So just as God will not lie you ought not to lie, because what is in God is inside of you, you have the same native constitution like God. It ought not to be a struggle for you to live right as a child of God because it is your nature.

You have escaped the corruption that is in the world. The word corruption used here refers to moral decay. In other words you have escaped the moral decay in the world because of your participation in the divine nature; where you are not struggling with sin, poverty or disease.

To live in this realm of God you have to soak yourself with the Word of God; listening to the Word of God and keeping your mind fixed on the Word consistently.

CONFESSION
 In the Name of Jesus I declare that I am a partaker of the divine nature. I share in the ability to live like my Father naturally. I have escaped the corruption in the world because I am a partaker of the divine nature. I have dominion over satan, sin, sickness, weakness, disease, fear, death and hell in Jesus Name.

Called to dignity and moral excellence

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”                      
2 Peter 1:3(KJV)

The glory in our opening scripture refers to 'dignity' and the word virtue refers to 'moral excellence.' That means that God has called each of us to a life of dignity and moral excellence. In other words people should look at your life and find no flaws because you have been given the ability to live a flawless life.

The ability to live a life that is scandal free has already been given to you as a child of God. You have the ability to live such a life that when people look at your life, there is no money anywhere that you have stolen neither is there any woman anywhere that you are hiding, your life is completely free from all scandal. The Bible says that you have been given such an ability. Believe it and walk in it.

Please make this confession if you truly believe; say, “my life is scandal free.” I want you to mean this confession you just made and live your life accordingly because you have the ability. You have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness and you have been called to dignity and moral excellence.

Make no excuse for sin because you have been given everything you need to live a life of dignity and moral excellence. So if you are living in sin, you are living beneath your potential, if you are living in sickness or fear, you are living beneath your potential because as He is so are we in this world (I John 4:17).

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I declare that as He is so am I in this world. I have the ability to live a life of dignity and moral excellence. I renounce every form of compromise even as I manifest the character of Christ in me to live above sin, sickness, fear and every oppression of the devil. Amen.

You can do all things

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:19(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows you that there is no impossibility to you as a child of God. Therefore I will like you to make this confession out loud say, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I have the life of God in me. if Jesus won't do it, I won't. If Jesus can do it, I can, because He is in me.”

If Jesus went for an interview, will He be scared? No. That same Jesus is in you today, so don't be scared because you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. So what is that seemingly impossible thing you have to do, approach it with this new attitude and mentality knowing that you can.

Maybe you want to stop a bad habit. The first thing you have to do is to change that mentality that tells you it is not easy, and begin to think based on the Word of God. Meditate on Philippians 4:13 and keep telling yourself “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”

When the power of that Word overwhelms your mind, nothing shall be impossible unto you. This is because the Bible says in Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,..."

Therefore I encourage you to walk into new possibilities by the transformation and renewal of your mind by the word of God.

Your true Identity

“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(KJV)

Yesterday, we learnt that we become what we see, so if a Pastor wants to have a church that is holy, he doesn't need to keep on giving them more rules, what he needs to do is to put before them the mirror of the Word of God. As they keep on looking into the mirror of the glory of the Lord, they will be changed into the same image.

One time the Lord spoke to me saying, “It is easy to have a holy church.” And I asked how? Then He answered saying, “I said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”” (John 17:17) The word sanctify in that verse is the Greek word 'hagiazo' which means to make holy. So if you want the church to be made holy, it is not going to be by rules, just keep bringing them the Word of God.

As they keep hearing the Word of God, the Word will start affecting their minds; transforming their thinking, and as a man thinketh in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7). When their minds are transformed, their words, their desires and their conduct will surely change.

You may be reading this today and you know you have some moral struggles that you ought not to  have as a child of God. What you need to do is to expose yourself to the ministry of the Word of God, and as you do, it will make you holy. And before long, you can't dress indecently anymore, you can't go to night clubs anymore. You will be totally changed.

This is why satan always seeks to distract you from the Word of God through condemnation. For example, someone struggling with guilt from a past wrong may find it difficult to read the Bible because of condemnation. This happens because satan knows that if you do not study the Word or listen to the Word of God anymore you are not going to get cleansed. Jesus said in John 15:3, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”  So, no Word, no cleansing. Therefore I encourage you to get to the Word and let it cleanse your mind and your spirit from all filth.

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you for the ministry of your Word in my life, I ask that your Word will purify and cleanse my heart from all filth and condemnation, renewing my mind and producing in me what it talks about in Jesus Name. Amen.
