Cast out the devil.

Monday,  November 7th
Cast out the devil.

“And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.”
Luke 11:14

Our opening scripture shows us that there is a dumb and deaf devil. These are the devils responsible for dumbness and deafness. That is why whenever I am ministering to people with such conditions you will hear me say, “You devils of dumbness and deafness come out” and immediately their speech and hearing is restored.

It is this understanding that produces faith which in turn produces the results. Understand that according to the Word of God all devils are your subject so when you command them in the Name of Jesus, expect them to obey you and leave even as they obeyed Jesus.

“And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he  spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;  And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.”  Mark 7:31-37.

Instruction.
Use the Name of Jesus and deal with anything that looks like an oppression of the devil around you today.

For further study, read:
Mark 16:17, Luke 10:17, Acts 16:16-18.

Doing the Word.
As you cast out devils in Jesus Name, expect them to obey you as they obeyed Jesus.

What is sickness?

Sunday, November 6th
What is sickness?

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
Acts 10:38

Sickness is an oppression of the devil. This is why you should never tolerate sickness in your body if you are a Christian because it is an oppression of the devil. Whenever you tolerate sickness and deal with it as though it is not an oppression of the devil, you open the door for the devil to afflict you.

Jesus never tolerated sickness; He always dealt with it as oppression from the devil. “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” Luke 13:11-13, 16.

From the above, we can see that sickness, disease or infirmity is satanic bondage.

Therefore, in the Name of Jesus, I declare that you are loosed from all infirmity and oppression of the devil in your body, mind and spirit right now. Be completely made free and whole from all satanic bondage, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Instruction.
Give the Lord thanks for your healing.

For further study, read:
Matthew 8:14-17, Mark 1:34, Mark 9:25-27.

Doing the Word.
Never tolerate sickness in your body, whenever you feel any symptom of sickness no matter how small it seems, cast it out in Jesus Name. Give no place to the devil in your body.

Go for understanding.

Saturday, November 5th.
Go for understanding.

“For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
Matthew 13:15

Jesus did more teaching than anything else. Teaching is explanation. Explanation is what leads to understanding, understanding is what produces convictions. Convictions produce faith and faith is what produces results.

Therefore, Jesus taught the people because if they are going to receive healing they must have understanding because without understanding there can be no faith and without faith you cannot receive anything from God. Whatever you do not understand you will lose. The Bible says in Matthew 13:19, “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.”
You can only receive what you understand because you can only have faith for what you understand. Matthew 13:23 says, “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.” Your level of understanding is what determines the measure of fruit you bear by the Word.

Instruction.
Read Ephesians 1:17 and pray the prayer for yourself, it will help to enhance your understanding of the Word of God.

For further study, read:
Psalm 119:104, Proverbs 4:5-7, Proverbs 16:16.

Doing the Word.
Take out time to meditate on the Word of God daily.

Word attention 2.

Word attention 2.

“If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” Mark 4:23-25

I was watching Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) on November 22nd 2002 and I was giving my attention. As I did, the Holy Spirit spoke to me; “Take my healing power to the nations.” Though I was not the only one watching that day. There was someone by my side watching as well, but the Holy Spirit did not tell him. He was watching but at intervals he would get up to go into the kitchen because he was preparing lunch that we were to eat that afternoon. So that distraction made him give a divided attention to the ministry of the Word and the Spirit that was coming to us at that moment, but as I gave my full attention I received my healing commission that day from the Lord.

Make up your mind to give the Word of God your undivided attention. That is where encounters and impartation come from. What if I did not give the Word undivided attention that day? But thank God I did, and today many are able to glorify God because of the manifestations and demonstration of God's healing power.

Therefore your undivided attention to the Word of God today may determine the transformation in many lives tomorrow.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you teach me to number my days that I may apply my heart unto wisdom, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Job 33:14, Psalm 62:11, Matthew 13:14-15.

Do not treat any meeting with levity because God is speaking to you whenever His Word is coming to you.

Word attention 1.

"My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.”
Proverbs 4:20(NIV)

Instead of giving attention to your problems and your challenges, give attention to the Word of God. See what paying attention to the Word of God will do for you in Proverbs 4:21-22(NIV), "Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body."

When you give the Word of God your whole attention, you would always get more than your expectation. Maybe you came for a meeting expecting healing for your leg, as you listen and give attention to the Word of God, your back or other parts of your body where you are sick will also be ministered to by the Word of God and be healed.

The teaching of the Word of God stirs up the healing power of God. Luke 5:17 says, "And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. " Therefore when the Word of God is been taught and you give it your attention, the power of God will minister healing and complete wholeness to your whole being from the Word.

Matthew 4:23 says, "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”

Therefore as you keep giving attention to the Word of God not only will it heal you, it would also keep you in perfect health.

Lord was present to heal them. " Therefore when the Word of God is been taught and you give it your attention, the power of God will minister healing and complete wholeness to your whole being from the Word.

Matthew 4:23 says, "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank you that as I receive your Word, it ministers healing and health to every part of my being right now, in Jesus Name. Amen.

How to receive?

Wednesday, November 2nd
How to receive?

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Hebrews 11:6

When it comes to receiving from God, faith is very vital. Faith is not negotiable when it comes to receiving from God. Therefore if you are coming to God to receive, our opening scripture tells you the condition; faith. No matter your good works and your giving, without faith it is impossible to please God or to receive anything from Him. So, the only condition required to guarantee receiving from God is faith. Therefore, your good works and your giving must be done in faith for it to please God.

You must believe that He is; He is who He says He is, and He can do what He says He can do. You must also believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. So you must give diligence (attentiveness) to the Word of God you hear.

Mark 4:24 says, "And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given." Therefore, you have to be careful how you hear, pay attention to what you hear. It is when you give attention and diligence to what you hear that you are able to receive much more from the Word of God.

Mark 4:24(AMP) says, "And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you--and more [besides] will be given to you who hear." So as you receive the Word of God through this month's devotional give it thought and study. Do not let anything distract you. Give the Word of God all your attention as you read it. That is what will determine the measure of power that will be manifested in your life.

This explains how two people can attend a service together and one of them would receive more than the other person. It is as a result of the measure of thought and study each individual gives to the Word.

Instruction.
Please write down your spiritual goals for this month.

For further study, read:
Psalm 119:10, Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 6:33.

Doing the Word.
In your life, give the Word of God the attention it deserves.

He sent His Word

Tuesday, November 1st.
He sent His Word.

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10:17

In 2002 when I received my healing commission, God spoke to me letting me know that when it comes to praying for the sick the Word of God must come first.

Therefore, when I was in my final year in the university, a Pastor came to see me and began telling me of one of his members who had been sick for a long time and hospitalized. Her condition was so severe that she would pass out and come back to life again over and over again. It was a life or death issue.

At this time I had been reading and studying for my final year exams in the university and had not had enough time to pray and study the Bible as long as I wanted to. But in faith I went with him to pray for the woman who has now been taken home to die.

When we got to the house, we were ushered in to where the woman was lying down. She was so weak that she could only speak in a whisper that she had no strength. I told her not to worry that I would just teach her the Word of God and as faith comes to her from the Word I will pray and she would receive her miracle.

As I shared the Word of God with her, it got to a point; I perceived she had faith to be healed which was immediately confirmed by a Word from God that she was going to be healed from my younger brother who was with me. So, I turned to the woman lying down there looking so weak, and said, "In the Name of Jesus rise up!" Immediately she was able to sit up, she stood up and began walking, lifting up her hands and praising God. Everyone in the house that day praised God together with her.

Notice that this woman was healed by faith and faith came to her because the Word of God came first. You can change any hopeless situation you may be experiencing right now if only you learn to put the Word of God first.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I open my heart to receive the word of faith that is coming to me in this month's devotional. May Your Word bring me healing and wholeness even as I act on the Word, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Matthew 4:23, Matthew 9:35, Luke 5:17.
