The Four [R’s]
Gen.22: 17 “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed…”
There are four “R’s” to recovery. Number one, recognize. Recognize that there is a problem. We have been asking God to open our eyes to see as we ought to see. God will bring things to your memory. Number two, repent. Number three, renounce. And number four, resist – then you will recover. Even if it was your grandfather that broke a covenant, you need to repent. Derek Prince puts it perfectly, “You are not guilty of your ancestors’ sins but you are affected by them.” So you repent on their behalf because of yourself. Read the rest of this entry
Sovereign Lord
Isa.49:25 “But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children” [KJV].
People knowingly and unknowingly, enter into covenants with the devil. That is why you need to be aware of it, check if it exists, and engage God to destroy it. I am not saying we should do away with culture or cultural festivals; but some of those festivals are covenants in themselves. There is a thin line between just celebrating culture and entering into the spiritual and the fetish. Some celebrations entail swimming in a river, they are covenanting you with water spirits. I pray that God will Himself, submerge everyone that has Read the rest of this entry
Foundation Matters
Ps.105: 7 “He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land. 8 He always stands by his covenant— the commitment he made to a thousand generations”.
God honors covenants between men. If the foundation is faulty, you have to fix it! There are businesses that are on faulty foundations because covenants have been broken. There are people whose fathers and grandfathers agreed to take care of their relatives. And the relatives also agreed that they would be dependent on that family. So that family has been prospering and the other family has been dependent on them. But the children are now looking at their relatives as parasites and are cutting them off. That move will affect Read the rest of this entry
Step Back
Josh.9:14 “So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord. 15 Then Joshua made a peace treaty with them and guaranteed their safety, and the leaders of the community ratified their agreement with a binding oath”
When Joshua realized that they had been tricked by the Gibeonites, he forced them to become slaves but they did not put up any fight because it was better than death. But years later, Saul decided to get rid of the Gibeonites, then 2 Sam.21:1 says: There was a famine during David’s reign that lasted for three years, so David asked the Lord about it. And the Lord said, “The famine has come because Saul and his family are guilty of murdering the Gibeonites.” [emphasis added]. Every time you are experiencing a famine, Read the rest of this entry
Inquire First!
Josh.9:14 “So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord. 15 Then Joshua made a peace treaty with them and guaranteed their safety, and the leaders of the community ratified their agreement with a binding oath” [emphasis added].
When blessing Abraham, the Bible says God swore by Himself. Swearing has to be by a greater authority. But because there was none greater, God said, “In blessing, Abraham, I will bless you”. Erroneously, when God asks something of us, we think that God wants to take something from us. But when God asks something from us, He does not want to take from; He wants to get something to us. When God asks for something from you, He is not interested in what He can take from you. He is thinking of what He can get to you. Read the rest of this entry
Proof of Love
Ps.50:5 “Bring my faithful people to me— those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.”
God deals with serious Christians by covenant. The milestones of greater heights are usually sealed with covenant. When God takes me to a higher level, there is usually a fresh discussion of what it entails. As long as you do your part, you can go to bed. It does not matter the enchantment against you. It does not matter what people are saying against you. As long as you do your part, you can go to bed because God will do his part.
Honor Principle I
Eph.6:2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
We have been dealing with curses over the past few days and we are trusting God that because of this insight, there will be deliverances, in Jesus Name.
The eleventh cause of curses is neglecting or insulting parents. Please note that this curse is different from when a parent curses the child. A lot of people these days are either neglecting or insulting their parents. You may not be where you want to be financially but Read the rest of this entry
Warning!!!
Num.23:23 No curse can touch Jacob; no magic has any power against Israel. For now it will be said of Jacob, ‘What wonders God has done for Israel!’
In yesterdays devotional, we began to talk about curses and their effects. If you have not read it, please start to do so. The first effect of curses is that curses release supernatural forces to limit a person or a place. Secondly, curses are released to paralyze and negate people or places. I pray in the name of Jesus that every curse that is trying to or has succeeded in paralyzing or negating you or any part of your life, God will wipe out today [say Amen].
Covenant Covering
Gen.12: 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
The challenge with a lot of us Africans is that we like to let go of the things we know and embrace the things we do not know. The western cultures are more harmful than a lot of us like to believe. There is more to it than meets the eye. In fact, right now on the streets of New York, there are satanist shops. My wife and I had friends, a black family, that was living in an all white neighborhood. One day when we went to visit, on their walk way the Holy Spirit said, “Stop! Look down”. I was shocked to see that right there on Read the rest of this entry
