Working with God

“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.” 
2 Corinthians 6:1(KJV)

Ministry is partnership with the Holy Spirit. A call into the ministry is a call into a divine partnership. This is why the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:9, “For we are labourers together with God…” This lets you know that ministry is labouring together with God. So when you get into the work of the ministry, it is important you know that you are in partnership with the Father through the Holy Spirit.

God wants to work with you, in you and through you because you are the body of Christ, and the movement of the body is the movement of Christ. Wherever you are, Christ is available; His anointing is available because Christ is in you.

Jesus said in John 5:17, “… My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” Jesus said again in John 5:19, “…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.” This means that in ministry, the Father initiates and we follow.

So whatever the Father tells us to do or shows in the realm of the Spirit, is what we do on earth. That is what true ministry is all about, it is building according to the pattern of the Spirit.

PRAYER
Dear Father I want to thank you for the privilege of been called into the ministry. I ask that the influence of your Spirit would increase upon my heart to make me more submissive and committed to your leadership and guidance in Jesus Name. Amen.

Live in Him

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” 
Acts 17:28(KJV)

Our opening scripture lets us know that we dwell in God, He is our dwelling place. We live in Him, that means we have been wrapped up with God. So God is your shield, He is the house in which you live.

For instance, for a thief to get into a house, he would have to break into that house. In the same way, for someone to be able to break into your life, they would have to go past God first. That lets you know how secure you are in Christ, because whatever cannot break into God cannot break into your life. That is why the Bible says in Psalm 91:10, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”

In Colossians 3:3 the Bible says, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” If your life is hidden with Christ in God it means that no witch can pluck your life because they do not have access to it.

In the light of this truth that you have received today from the Word of God, I want you to settle it in your heart that you cannot die prematurely because your life is hidden with Christ in God, therefore the number of your days you will fulfil in Jesus Name.

Jesus said in John 10:28, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

PRAYER
Dear Father I thank you for your Word that has come to me today, I receive the Word with faith and I declare according to your Word that, “There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling.” “With long life will You satisfy me, and show me Your salvation.” In Jesus Name. Amen.

The expression of the Spirit

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;”          
Isaiah 11:1-2(KJV)

The word translated spirit in verse two of our opening scripture is the Hebrew word 'ruach'. It refers to breath, wind, or spirit especially of a rational being. That suggests to us that the Holy Spirit has intelligence. In  Romans 8:27 the Bible talks about the mind of the Spirit. So we can deduce that the Spirit of God has a mind.

The word spirit in our opening scripture also refers to the functions and the expressions of the Spirit. So when we talk about the Spirit of wisdom, it does not mean that there is a spirit called wisdom or another spirit called knowledge, or counsel. No. It refers to the functions or the expressions of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

I want you to know that there are various expressions of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In other words, the Holy Spirit can express Himself in your life as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, might, etc. Therefore if there is any area of your life where you are experiencing any weakness, I encourage you to take advantage of any of the expressions of the Spirit that you desire in your life to augment your potential today.

PRAYER
Dear Father I ask for the supply of your spirit towards me today. Thank you for the Spirit of Lord rest upon me, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord functions in me in their fullness today in Jesus Name. Amen.

Members of Christ

“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? …” 
1 Corinthians 6:15(KJV)

A lot of Christians have not really come to understand who a Christian is and that is why they don't have faith in what God has made available. Paul the Apostle asked the Corinthian Church in our opening scripture, “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?” This was because many of them were not functioning and living their lives with that understanding. So he had to let them know that their bodies were members of Christ. This means that your body is no longer yours anymore, in other words, what God will not tolerate in the body of Jesus Christ, He will not tolerate in your body.

The Bible also lets you know in 1 Corinthians 12:27 that, “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” As a member of the body of Christ I want you to know that whatever authority is given to the head(Christ) is also given to the body(You). This means that the power that flows in Christ who is the Head, also flows in you because you are the body of Christ.

Therefore, the Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:23, “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”  This means that all authority that has been given to Christ has been given to us because we are the body of Christ. So our union with Christ empowers us to cause whatever bows to Him to bow to us. Whatever obeys Jesus ought to obey you because you are the body of Christ.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I declare that I am a member of the body of Christ, therefore every authority and power that flows in Christ flows in me. I have been empowered by my union with Christ to command obedience in every sphere of life.

God dwells in you

“And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” 1 John 3:24(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows us how we know that God remains in us. We know that God remains and dwells in us by the Holy Spirit which He has given to us. This means that if the Holy Spirit has come into you, it means that God has taken residence inside of you, so you are now joined to the Lord.

In 1 Corinthians 6:17 the Bible says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” This means that when you became born again, you became one with divinity, the life of God which you received at the new birth has supplanted the human life in you. Now you have become plugged into God.

This is why the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Now that you are in Christ the Bible says in Galatians 3:27, “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”

Child of God I want you to know what you have received. You need to know what happened to you the day you got born again, you are no longer ordinary anymore. When God looks at you, He sees Himself.

Therefore, I encourage you to meditate upon this truth until faith rises in your heart, that is when you will be able to live this quality of life that you have received in Christ.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus I declare that greater is He that is in me than He that's in the world. God dwells in me by His Spirit that lives in me. I am one with divinity because I am joined to the Lord by the Holy Spirit who has made me the habitation of God.

Divine Immunity

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 
Luke 10:19(KJV)

Today I want you to take note of the latter part of our opening scripture where the Bible says, “…and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” This means that in this authority we have in Christ we have divine immunity.

Child of God you need to realize that there is nothing that the wicked can do to you that can harm you. Some Christians may begin to live in fear because they heard that a certain group of fetish persons have said they are going to stop them. No! they cannot stop you because you have divine immunity over all the ability of the enemy.

The Bible says in Isaiah 54:15, “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” This means that people will surely gather against you, it doesn't matter who they are and where they may be gathering against you, I want you to know that you have a more sure Word, that whosoever gathers against you shall fall for your sake.

The Bible also says in Isaiah 41:10-12(GW), “Don't be afraid, because I am with you. Don't be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand. "Everyone who is angry with you will be ashamed and disgraced. Those who oppose you will be reduced to nothing and disappear. You will search for your enemies, but you will not find them. Those who are at war with you will be reduced to nothing and no longer exist.” This is your heritage in Christ.

CONFESSION
In the Name of Jesus, I will not be afraid because God is with me. His grace is sufficient for me, His strength is perfected in every weakness. I am victorious in Him, and anyone who rises up against me will be ashamed and disgraced because I am the anointed of the Lord. I have divine immunity over all the ability of the enemy.
