Debunking Lies II
‘So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes’ 2 Cor.2:11
Another lie the enemy will throw your way is that you do not have enough money to make a difference. God has designed you to make a difference for Christ Jesus in your area of influence. Yet the enemy is lying to you that you do not have enough money to make a difference. And because of this lie, you have opted out of all the financial support campaigns in Church. You can make a difference even right now. You do not have to wait until you are a millionaire. Many times we think that we are at the bottom of the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies I
‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ Rom.5:8
On the path to discovering your importance in God’s plan, the enemy will tell you a lot of lies. All the lies are aimed at convincing You that You do not matter to God. Anyone who has walked with God long enough knows that the devil is a lair. If you do not know anything about the devil, know that he is a lair. If he tells you that you will fail, it is a lie, because you will succeed. In fact, Jesus says that when he is Read the rest of this entry
You Matter
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’ Jer.29:11
God knows the plans that He has for us. In actual fact, you only plan for the things that are important to you. If you plan for your family, it means your family is important to you. If you plan for your finances, it means your finances are important to you. If you plan for your spiritual walk, it means that your walk with God is important to you. Of course the converse is also the case for all of the examples above. For instance, if you do not plan for your spiritual growth, it means at least for the moment it is not important Read the rest of this entry
The Anointing
‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing… for God was with him.’ Acts 10:38
The presence of God creates the anointing. And the anointing sustains the presence. They go hand in hand. If Jesus needed the anointing, trust me, you need the anointing too. God anointed Jesus and He will anoint you too but you must desire it. The anointing does a couple of things in the life of every believer besides breaking yokes. The anointing enables you to walk in the supernatural, Jesus was anointed and He was able to walk in the supernatural. There anointing prepares you for the work that Read the rest of this entry
Rock Solid Guarantee
‘So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?’ Luke 6:46
Over the past few devotionals we have highlighted the benefits of having God on your side. However the converse is also the case. If you do not have God on your side things will be withheld from you. There will be no assurances. You may get the rain that falls on the just and the unjust. At best you may get some mercy drops but there will be no assurance of the delivery of God’s promises for you. If God is not on your side, accusation will stand against you. You will be written off or wiped away by the storms Read the rest of this entry
Free From Fear
‘The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?’ Psalm 118:6 [KJV]
If God be for us, we will be free from fear; totally free from the fear of men. A lot of people are trying really hard to please people. As such, they end up living a life of discontentment and disappointment. This is an expression of approval addiction. This is not the way God wants you to live. The only One you need to be concerned about His approval is God. You have to play to the audience of the One. When you Read the rest of this entry
No Accusation Can Stand
‘Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one—for God Himself has given us right standing with Himself’ Rom.8:33
‘And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen?’ Rom.8:33 [MSG]. If God be for us, no accusation can stand against us. ‘Teacher, they said to Jesus, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say? They kept demanding an answer, so Read the rest of this entry
You Are Worth More
‘It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God’ 1 Peter.1:19
The value of something is determined by what people are willing to pay for it. What are you worth? You are worth more than you can imagine or understand but God gives you a clue of what you are worth. ‘For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors.

True Sacrifice
‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. That whosoever believeth in Him will not die but have eternal life’ John.3:16.
True sacrifice to God results in unimaginable breakthrough. It is important to remember that when men look on the outside, God looks at the heart. This is why Jesus took us through the example of the widow and the significance of her offering to God [Mark 12:41-44]. In the eyes of men, what she gave was of little Read the rest of this entry
Dispelling Internal Storms
‘When besieged, I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, I’m collected and cool’ Ps.27:3 [MSG]
The storm within is more lethal than the storm without. As soon as you secure the presence of God, the first thing He proceeds to deal with is your internal storm. Jesus has to address every internal storm of anxiety, worry, depression, fear, uncertainty, and doubt; before dealing with the storm without [Matt.6:25]. Of course you will find yourself having to go through very tough situations. You must choose not to worry but instead keep your heart stayed on God. You may not have the answers but you know the God who has all the Read the rest of this entry
