Death To Life VI
“That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear His voice don’t harden your hearts…” Heb.3:7-8
From death to life goes beyond moving from slavery to freedom. From death to life also means moving from spiritual death to spiritual life. For some people, the best way to describe their spiritual state is that they are spiritually dead. There are two pointers to spiritual death. If you have any of these two, you are spiritually dead.

Death To Life V
“Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body… So then death is working in us, but life in you” 2Cor.4:10, 12 [NKJV, emphasis added].
Every parent understands this principle of life. Every good parent knows that they need to sacrifice so that their children can have a great future. Good parents choose to pay the children’s school fees over buying a new bag. Every parent knows that [as it were] death is working in us so that life can come out through our children. In fact, when a mother gives birth in the western part of Nigeria, the Yoruba people say “eku ewu omo” meaning you have just come Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life IV
“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them” Ps.126:1-2 [KJV]
Yesterday, we learnt that God sometimes will have to shut one door so that He can open a bigger door. Like the example from yesterday, the man is before me trembling as he reels out all his responsibilities. I had to keep myself from laughing but I prayed and I encouraged him. Guess what? This same man just a few months down the line, is so grateful to God that he lost that job because God has shown him His faithfulness. The challenge with a lot of us is that we are too Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life III
“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them” Ps.126:1-2 [KJV]
Moving from death to life could be from slavery to freedom. Do not be quick to say you are not in slavery. Take note that you are a slave to anything you are doing currently but you wish you could stop doing. But today, you are moving out of slavery, in Jesus Name. For some people, they are slaves to someone that has influence over their lives. For instance a relative and if that relative says sit down, Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life II
“When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink… So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink…” Ex.15:23&25.
You need to understand that moving from death to life is not limited only to physical death and physical life. Moving from death to life could be from scarcity to abundance. For some of us, the summation of our financial situation or even our lives has been scarcity. Everything you have had has been scarce. Even when the teachers want to give you grades, they make sure it is scarce. Today, in the Name of Jesus, you Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life I
“Son of man, these bones are the entire community of Israel. They keep saying, “Our bones are dry now, picked clean by scavengers. All hope is gone. Our nation is lost.” Eze.37:11 [Voice, emphasis added]
Many times, we find ourselves in situations that can best be described as a dry bone situation. Some of us are far gone in that spectrum as it were. The situation is dry, dead, forgotten, and scattered. On the other side is the situation that is filled with life and abundance. And everyone is somewhere on this spectrum. That situation you are faced Read the rest of this entry
God Is Saying
“For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” Ps.119:89 [KJV]
What God is saying is two fold; there is The Written and The Prophetic. The Word of God is settled in heaven. What God has said concerning your promotion is settled! What God has said concerning your marriage is settled! What God has said concerning your finances is settled! Search the scriptures to see what God is saying and has settled in His written Word about you.
Fact Not Truth
“…Prophesy to these bones. Tell them to listen to what the Eternal Lord says to them…” Eze.37:4 [VOICE].
The question you and I must answer is, what is God saying? Some people are so logical they can think God out of their lives. I am not saying we should not use our brains. We are intelligent people and we cannot do what we are doing if we are not intelligent by the grace of God. But when the rubber meets the road, what matters is not what your logic is saying, it is what is God saying. Do not use logic to eradicate God from your life. What is God saying? It is not even what “reality” is saying. I have heard folks repeatedly say, let us face reality. And I say no! We will face the Read the rest of this entry
Get Up And Speak!
“…Prophesy to these bones. Tell them to listen to what the Eternal Lord says to them…” Eze.37:4 [VOICE].
Every move of God is preceded by a sound. You can have the prophetic Word but nothing happens until you speak it. Everything will wait until you speak. You have to get up and speak. The story is told of a couple who had been married for years and had children. The man was doing well and so was the woman. But the man’s mother brought him a new wife from the village. She told his wife that she had done well but her son needs fresh blood. The man claimed to be faultless in the matter and he took his mother up on the offer. It is sad but some men are just very Read the rest of this entry

“Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Eze.37:4 [emphasis added].
“The earth was completely empty. There was nothing on the earth. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit moved over the water. Then God said, “Let there be light!” And light began to shine” Gen.1:2-3 [ERV]. What if God had not said anything? The Power of God would still be there but nothing would have happened. Even though the Father, the Spirit and the Word were present at creation, nothing happened until God spoke. My point is this, you need to speak God’s prophetic Word into that situation. What prophetic word you ask? Your prophetic word is that Read the rest of this entry
