Battlefield

‘Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ’ 2 Cor.10:5 [KJV].

 

Over the past few days we have mentioned two major battlefields – the spirit realm and the mind. For many believers these days when you talk about a spiritual battlefield the only place their thoughts go is the mind. Of course the battlefield of the mind exists and it is legitimate and real [2 Cor.10:3-5]. There are battles that go on in our minds that we have to deal with. Some people are struggling with all sorts of negative thoughts. That will come to an end in your own case in Jesus Name. The enemy tries to form Read the rest of this entry

Weapons of Warfare

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)2 Cor.10:4 [KJV]

 

Unlike the physical weapons of warfare, the weapons of spiritual warfare are entirely different. As a believer you need to know them and know how to deploy them in the place of battle. The weapons of our warfare include but are not limited to the name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, praise and worship. The Bible says ‘let the high praise of God be in their mouth, and a two edge sword in their hands’ Ps.149:6 [KJV]. Our weapons are mighty through God and not apart from Him. So what you see is not Read the rest of this entry

Free To Succeed

‘So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free’ John 8:36 [AMP]

 

Nobody needs to die for you to live. The only person that needs to die for you to live died two thousand years ago, His name is Jesus. The substitutionary price that you need for your success has already been paid. As a child of God you do not need another person’s blood to secure healing, you do not need to lock down another persons provision for yours to flow. The only person’s blood that needs to be shed has been shed two thousand years ago. As a child of God you are free to succeed. You have the liberty to prosper. A Read the rest of this entry

Warfare

‘No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord’ Isa.54:17 [KJV].

 

Spiritual warfare is real. A lot of people think that if they don’t trouble people or the devil, then people or the devil will not trouble them. The reality is that it is not actually the case. ‘No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn’. For the Bible to say this, it means that there are weapons formed against you and tongues raised against you in judgment. For the fact that you are even alive, someone is angry at least I know the devil is Read the rest of this entry

Spiritual Principles III

‘…as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you’ Num.14:28 [KJV].

 

The fourth spiritual principle that we must know in order to successfully operate in the supernatural is the trigger principle. It simply states that words are triggers in the supernatural. If you are an anointed child of God filled with the Holy Ghost yet you don’t speak then nothing happens. It is like having a loaded gun and not pulling the trigger so nothing happens. Your tongue and the words that you speak are the triggers. ‘By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now Read the rest of this entry

Spiritual Principles II

‘That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father’ Phil.2:10-11.

 

Hierarchy exists especially in the spiritual. ‘And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greaterHeb.7:7 [NIV]. A colleague and I had a meeting with one of the kings in Nigeria. At the end of the meeting I interrupted the king to ask why he ignored my colleague throughout and focused on me alone. His response was ‘what do you take me for? You mean I will see authority and not know it? You are disappointing me. You pastors are higher than us kings’. He says they were taught about spiritual hierarchy from Read the rest of this entry

Spiritual Principles I

‘For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith’ 1 John 5:4

 

The first spiritual principle that we must know in order to successfully operate in the supernatural is the source principle. The source principle simply states that you are your source. In the supernatural you are your source. The Jews were people of God but they had changed their source. And in John 8:44, Jesus was saying to them ‘For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no Read the rest of this entry

Communion

‘Meanwhile, as Peter was puzzling over the vision, the Holy Spirit said to him, “Three men have come looking for you. Get up, go downstairs, and go with them without hesitation. Don’t worry, for I have sent them.” Acts.10:19-20

 

People think hearing God is so mysterious. The truth is that it is where you are spending most of your time that determines what you will be sensitive to. For instance, I spent a lot of time with my father while I was growing up. So when he sends me out to get the daily newspaper I did not have to ask him which one I should buy. My father was very political so some newspapers were preferred compared to others and there were some that he just would not buy. On the days I get there and the vendor does not have the Read the rest of this entry

Senses

‘So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image’ 2 Cor.3:18

 

As human beings, we interact with our natural world primarily through our physical senses and our minds. The five main senses are touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound. You need to understand that it is through your mind, soul, and physical senses that you interact with your physical world. We interact with the supernatural world primarily with our spiritual senses and our soul. So you need to understand also that spiritually you have the use of your five senses – sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. ‘And Elijah said Read the rest of this entry

In His Image

‘So, God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27

 

The second step to walking in the supernatural is as a man you need to understand your make up. Man is his spirit and not his body. I want you to do this exercise because I did it and it changed my life. Stand in front of the mirror, look at the person you are seeing and say to that person this is not Bose Hassan [please fill in your own name], Bose Hassan is inside you. Then say, ‘Bose Hassan, you are anointed of God, your eyes and your ears are opened spiritually. It sounds spooky right? In reality, even though you can only see your bodily reflection in the mirror, just keep speaking it, and watch what will happen. You will become more aware of your real self. A lot of us are not aware of ourselves. Man is a spirit, he lives in a body, and possesses a soul. devotional refSo the three concentric circles kind of pictorially demonstrate what man really is. You see that in the innermost core of man is the spirit, then the soul kind of bridges between the spirit and the body. The soul processes what the spirit is trying to communicate and passes it to the body and then the body responds. Now for someone that is not saved, the person still has a spirit. Some people say that if you are not born again you don’t have a spirit but that not true. The person still has a spirit but the spirit is volatile, subject to the enemy, nature, and so many things can go wrong.  It is the spirit that is created in the image of God. God is a spirit so God’s image would be a spiritual image. Therefore what was created in the image of God is the spirit of man.

 

Prayer: Father, help me to be fully aware to the part of me that is in Your image and operate in the strength You have placed in my spirit man, in Jesus Name.
