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.

Protect Your Child II

‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths’ Prov.3:5-6 [KJV].

 

As a protector, it is your responsibility to protect your children against abuse and molestation. Some people abandon their children because of social functions and relatives, neighbors, or house helps molest these children. The children do not want to talk to their parents because they are hurt that their parents abandoned them and that was why something bad happened. It is natural for your children to see you as their protector. If you watch any child who is faced with danger, the first person the child runs to is the parent. This Read the rest of this entry

Protect Your Child I

‘Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell’ Prov.23:14 [KJV].

 

You protect your children by disciplining them. Some people say when the Bible says the rod it is not referring to flogging rather it is referring to admonishing. The rod is the rod. The same Bible says foolishness abounds in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will chase it far away. If I wasn’t flogged perhaps I would be doing something else today. My mother, God bless her, insisted on and enforced discipline. The truth is that if you spare the rod, you will spoil the child. Fathers these days don’t want to flog their children.

Excel in Giving I

‘For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also’ Matt.6:21 [KJV]

 

The second reason why God wants you to excel in giving is giving draws you closer to God [Matt.6:21]. Your money, the Bible says, is a magnet of your heart. Wherever your money is, it magnetizes your heart to that place also. If your money is in your material possessions, guess where your heart will be? A man once said to me that he has a wristwatch valued at $250,000. While there is nothing wrong with that or liking expensive things just make sure you have more than that in heaven because where your treasure is there your heart will be Read the rest of this entry

Values

‘Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us—I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving’ 2 Cor.8:7

 

The four values mentioned most in the Bible are hope, faith, love, and give. According to research, hope is mentioned in the Bible 185 times. Faith is mentioned 246 times. Someone describes hope as ‘hearing music that other people cannot hear and faith is dancing to that music that you have heard’. So if you’ve heard the music [meaning you have hope] and yet you do not dance to it then you do not have faith. Believing and not doing anything about it is not having faith. When you begin to dance to the music [hope] that only you can hear Read the rest of this entry

Pleasing God!

‘But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him’ Heb.11:6 [NKJV].

 

Look! He has placed the land in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!Deut.1:21. God knows that if you look at the land or you assess what is required to possess the land through your own eyes, two things can happen. You could either be afraid or you could be discouraged. Yet God is saying ‘don’t be afraid!’ You need to say this to yourself everyday especially in the season of sacrifice!

Sacrificial Seed

Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions’ Mark 12:42-43.

 

The third thing you have to do to prepare for a miracle is give God your sacrificial seed. The owners of the donkey could have said ‘who is the Lord that I should obey Him’. The widow of Zarephath could have asked the same question after all it was her own food. ‘Who is the Lord, is He the one that provided it? If He is God why did He have to make us suffer?’ And the little boy could in his childish attitude say ‘who is Jesus that I should give him my lunch box?’

Jesus Needs Your Lunch!

Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it… He also divided the fish for everyone to share’ Mark 6:41

 

Where is this boy?’ This is the first thought that runs through her mind as she glances out the window at the setting sun. And then as though to answer her question, she sees her little boy skipping playfully up the road. ‘Yet who are these men carrying baskets behind him and where is his lunch box?’ So she washes the soap off her hands and heads out the door to get answers to the questions on her mind. The little boy comes running toward his mother as usual but even he cannot help noticing that her hug is not as long and snugly Read the rest of this entry

God Has A Will

‘For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life’ John 3:16

 

A young lady was praying for a job and by God’s grace she was give two to choose from. One of course had much better perks than the other – better pay, courses outside the country and much more. So she sort God on which option was best because He alone knows the end from the beginning. And the leading she got was to take the less paying job. It was a struggle for her but she obeyed God and on the long term she is better of for it today 10years down the line. If she had taken the other job she probably would have gone off on another Read the rest of this entry

Submitted To God II

‘Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever?’ Heb.12:9

 

If you find yourself in that situation where nobody can catch you and you still don’t do wrong because of your love for Jesus then you are really free. For a lot of people, the reason why they are not committing adultery today is because their spouse is on their case and so they do not have the opportunity. When the opportunity is right and nobody can catch them, such people will commit adultery. The Read the rest of this entry
