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
Cannot Be Written Off
‘Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us’ Rom.8:34
‘So there is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus’ Rom.8:1. If God be for us, we cannot be written off. It is impossible. You may be experiencing a setback right now. Yet you need to know without any doubt that because God is for you, you will come back even stronger. Belonging to 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
Nothing Withheld
Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else? Rom.8:32
‘If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing Himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?’ Rom.8:32 [MSG]. The fact that God now calls us His children is a guarantee that nothing can be Read the rest of this entry
Who Dares?
‘What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?’ Rom.8:31
‘If God be for us’ implies that there are forces that are against us. Not everyone will like you, no matter how nice you are or how much you mind your business. People will wish that you fall down and die just because God is blessing you. However, before you even get to the people that hate you, Read the rest of this entry
This Kind
‘But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting’ Matt.17:21 [AMP]
Erroneously, people are quick to think that the only people who engage in fasting are those who are poor and hungry. Nothing can be further away from the truth than this. Daniel was neither hungry nor poor but Daniel understood that in other to enter into destiny, he had to cooperate with heaven. Fasting Read the rest of this entry
