Be Aware II
‘…He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies’ John 8:44.
The second thing you need to know is that satan and his demons hate you. I know they hate me. Do you know why they hate you? It is because you are a human being and you are made in the image of God. You don’t have to do anything to upset them just because you are a creation of God made in His image, they hate you. In fact John 10:10 says they have only one objective to steal, to kill, and to destroy – there is nothing else. It is a three-fold mandate – to steal, to kill, and to destroy. So don’t Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware I
‘Then Jesus demanded, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion, because there are many of us inside this man.” Mark 5:9
My earthly father before he passed on he would say to me that God is like a market and there are many routes into a market. Markets in the old days usually do not have a single entrance so people can come in from anywhere and go out from anywhere. However, towards the end of his life he realized the emptiness, void, and vanity of a life without the True and Living God. T.D Jakes while preaching said that he was at the deathbed of his father, and his father said to him that it is so ironic that it is now at the end of his Read the rest of this entry
Fully Obedient
‘And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient’ 2 Cor.10:6.
Confidence comes with complete obedience. ‘And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete’ 2 Cor.10:6 [NIV]. You have the confidence to avenge every act of disobedience only when your own obedience is complete. Which explains why a lot of Christians are living a defeated life because it is only when your obedience is complete that you are able to fight disobedience. There was a case of a man who was on fire for God and all of a sudden he came under some serious affliction Read the rest of this entry
Know This I
‘Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth’ Phil.2:9-10.
You need to know a couple of things that will be of immense value to you when it comes to warfare. First and foremost is the supremacy of Jesus. Jesus is the head of all principalities and powers. ‘Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 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.2:9-11. The three sections 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
Focus On The Maker
‘But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!’ Mark 6:37
The first thing we have to do to prepare for a miracle is focus on what God can do and not how difficult or impossible the problem appears. ‘But Jesus said, “You feed them’; in other words Jesus was saying obviously you cannot feed them in your strength or with the resources you have. Jesus was saying to them look to God to feed them. The truth is you cannot focus on your blessings and your problems at the same time. You can’t focus on God’s promises for you and the devil’s promises for you at the same time. God’s promise is Read the rest of this entry
Let Non Own You But Christ Jesus
‘Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me’ Matt.16:24.
To live free, the fourth thing we must do is let nothing own us but Christ. Neither wealth nor poverty can set you free. Only Jesus can set you free. Bishop Tony says ‘isn’t it morbidly strange that we are born with clenched fists but we die with open hands’. You need to make sure that there is nothing you are holding unto that you cannot give away. Make it a life principle that there is nothing you own that you cannot give away if God says you should give it away – whatever it is. That is the key to your freedom. You need to say to God Read the rest of this entry
Calvary
‘As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died’ Gal.6:14.
As Christians it would be wrong for us to continue to do the wrong things knowing fully well that it is sin in God’s sight. I am not saying that Christians are not able to do wrong. Christians go through different phases of growth until we are in the image of Christ Jesus. But a Christian cannot continue to do wrong. We have the seed of God. In two different situations I have witnessed a pig in mud Read the rest of this entry
Inherited II
‘I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. I will do this because Abraham listened to me…’ Gen.26:4-5
Blessings can also be inherited. Blessings can move from generation to generation. Like in the case of Isaac, there are certain things that our parents have done before God and men that we are enjoying today. ‘I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions’ Gen.26:5. I have no doubt that a lot of the spiritual progress that most of Read the rest of this entry
Inherited I
‘Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge’ Jer.31:30 [NIV]
Blessings and curses are not only provoked, they are also inherited. Blessings and curses can be passed down from one generation to another generation. This is why you find situations where a grandfather is cursed and struggles with it, the father struggles with the same thing, and the son finds himself struggling with the same thing. Such curses, this season as we are waiting on God, would be Read the rest of this entry
