FRIDAY 1
IT’S FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHURCH
…He raised Him from the dead and
seated Him at His [own] right hand in the
heavenly [places], Far above all rule and
authority and power and dominion and
every name that is named [above every
title that can be conferred], not only in
this age and in this world, but also in
the age and the world which are to come
(Ephesians 1:20-21 AMPC).

M any today still don’t understand the authority that’s


vested in the Name of Jesus and the power of
attorney given to us to use it. That’s why they’ve never
IXOO\HQMR\HGWKHEHQH¿WVRILW-HVXVKDVD1DPHWKDW¶V
superior to all titles of authority in this world and in the next.
So learn to use His Name.
The Weymouth New Testament describes the
transcendent greatness of His power and might, the
supremacy and dominion of His Name, His reign and glory
both in this age and in the age to come. He’s in the “…
heavenly realms, high above all other government and
authority and power and dominion, and every title of
sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to
come” (Ephesians 1:20-21 WNT).
The most beautiful part is that His authority, rulership,
reign and dominion are for the good of the Church: “…
6
Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and
rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will
rule in the future world as well. God has put all things
under the power of Christ, and for the good of the
church he has made him the head of everything”
(Ephesians 1:21-22 CEV).
He is all that He is for our advantage. His Name wields
DOO WKH SRZHU WKDW LW ZLHOGV IRU RXU EHQH¿W “...God has
put all things under the authority of Christ, and he
gave him this authority for WKHEHQH¿WRIWKHFKXUFK”
(Ephesians 1:22 NLT).
Never live as a victim. Don’t live an ordinary life. Use
the Name of Jesus. He said, “All authority is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.” Then on the basis of that authority,
He said, “Go ye therefore…” (Matthew 28:19). Devils,
angels, life, death, hell, the world, circumstances, living
and non-living things hear and respond to us in His Name.
Therefore, be conscious of the transcendent greatness of
His Name; live and do all things in His Name (Colossians
3:17).

CONFESSION
The Lord Jesus is set in the heavenly places, far above
all rule and authority and power and dominion and every
name that’s named. Therefore, all of nature, angels and
demons hear and obey when I speak, because I stand
and speak in the authority of Jesus Christ. Glory to God!

ALWAYS TESTIFY
And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony… (Revelation 12:11).

I t’s important that you always testify of God’s


goodness and the victories He’s wrought in you and
through you. Our opening verse says, “…they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony….” Learn to testify always! Let your
environment feel the impact of your testimonies.
Firstly, testify the Word. Declare the Word as it
concerns you. Say what the Word says. Secondly, testify
of His works of grace and love. Now, apart from your
testimonies glorifying God and inspiring faith in others,
they also cause Satan and his demons to take notice of
\RXDQGÀHHIURP\RX
Demons really can’t tell what you think or know,
but when they hear your testimonies, they’ll transmit
the message to their cohorts to stay away from you,
because they can see that you know who you are. This is
EHFDXVHWKH\¶UHYHU\SURXG¿JXUHVDQGWKH\GRQ¶WOLNHWR
be disgraced. They know if they try to mess around you,
8
you’ll cast them out.
So, make it a habit to always testify of the power of
God, the integrity of His Word, and the power of the Spirit
in your life. Not only will it cause you to experience more
blessings, it causes consternation in hell. Never consider
anything the Lord does for you or through you to be too
small to talk about. There’s power in your testimony to
completely neutralize the adversary and cause him to back
Rႇ
,WPDNHVQRGLႇHUHQFHZKDWGDXQWLQJFKDOOHQJHVWKH
enemy throws at you—testify that the greater One lives in
you; therefore, you’re marvellously helped of the Lord and
have overcome the adversary and all adversities. As you
do, the Lord’s power and glory will be manifested in your
situation. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your kindness, faithfulness,
and love. I thank you for the miracles you’ve wrought in
my life and the many blessings that I enjoy. I thank you
for the power of your infallible Word that has brought me
into a place of glory, strength, power, rest, and dominion,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ABSOLUTE DOMINION OVER
THE ADVERSARY
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven (Luke 10:18).

G enesis 3 tells us that the serpent beguiled Eve.


He is further described as “the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). In the
10th verse of Revelation 12, he is called “...the accuser
of our brethren....” Peter, in 1 Peter 5:8 calls him your
adversary: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour.”
An adversary is an enemy, an opponent, an opposer.
Some people are trying to make Satan look good by
introducing new songs with lyrics that portray him as your
friend. Don't be deceived; Satan is not and could never be
your friend! He’s your adversary, howbeit, a defeated one.
The Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 pens another
identity of Satan’s personality, referring to him as the god
of this world. But thanks be unto God; you’re not of this
world! You don’t belong in Satan’s jurisdiction; therefore,
10
he’s not in any way a factor, because you’re superior to
him; give him no place or chance in your life.
You have dominion over Satan and the rulers of
darkness to keep them defeated, to keep them subdued
under your feet. The Lord Jesus said in Luke 10:19,
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Your dominion and authority over the adversary and
adversities is supreme; it’s incontestable; recognize it and
exercise it always.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I'm not deceived by Satan’s lies,
manipulations, tricks, schemes and strategies or enticed
E\KLVGHFHLWIXOZD\V,VWDQG¿UPLQWKHWUXWKRIWKH:RUG
and resist him in truth and in faith; I walk on in the victory
I have in Christ, living above all the negativities of this
world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

MONDAY 4
REDEMPTION AND CHRISTIANITY
Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory
of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).

M any don’t realize that the Christian isn’t actually


the “redeemed.” If Christianity were all about
redemption or salvation from sin, there wouldn’t have been
the need for Jesus to rise from the dead. His death on the
Cross would have been enough; it paid for all our sins and
guaranteed complete propitiation. But that’s redemption
and not Christianity.
Redemption refers to saving someone by paying a
price. So when Jesus died, He paid the price for man’s
redemption with His own life; He did that for all humanity,
not for Christians. The Christian is the result of Christ’s
resurrection, not His death.
This should make it clearer: when Jesus hung on
the Cross, in the mind of God, every human person
was hanging on the Cross too (in Him), for He was our
VXEVWLWXWH :KHQ +H FULHG RXW ³,W LV ¿QLVKHG´ DQG JDYH
up the ghost, we also died in Him. Hallelujah! Now, when
He came out of the grave, when He resurrected, we were
also in Him.
12
That’s the big thing which Satan didn’t see coming and
the angels still marvel at and seek to look into: Christianity
is based on the resurrection of Jesus and not on His death.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ gave us something far
beyond redemption; it ushered us into a newness of life.
We’ve been raised up together with Christ (Ephesians 2:6).
Romans 10:9 lets us know that salvation comes by
believing in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and
the subsequent confession of His lordship. A Christian,
WKHUHIRUHLVRQHZKRLGHQWL¿HVZLWKWKHUHVXUUHFWHG&KULVW
Thus, just as Christ was raised from the dead into a
newness of life, the Christian has no past. That’s why the
Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature...”; meaning that he
is a new species, one that never existed before.
Being born again, therefore, you’re not the “redeemed”;
you’re the fruit of the redemptive work of Christ. Redemption
was consummated with His death, but Christianity came
from the resurrection. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory
of the Father, I also have been raised into a newness of
life to walk therein. I’m a new creation, conscious that
I’ve been raised together with Christ and made to sit
together with Him in the place of victory, authority, and
dominion forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TUESDAY 5
WE GIVE VENT TO HIS WILL

But test and prove all things [until you


can recognize] what is good; [to that]
hold fast (1 Thessalonians 5:21 AMPC).

I n Romans chapter 12, the Spirit of God, through


the Apostle Paul, lets us in on something absolutely
remarkable. He says, “And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).
How do you renew your mind?
It’s by changing your way of thinking, exchanging your
thoughts for God’s thoughts. And when that happens,
you’ll be able to “prove” the good, the acceptable and the
perfect will of God.
The English rendering of the word “prove” doesn’t
give us the best expression of what the Spirit conveys in
WKDWYHUVH7KH*UHHNZRUGLV³GRNLPD]ǀ´DQGLWPHDQV
to examine or scrutinize. It parallels the activities at the
customs service section at the entry port of any country.
Passengers are scrutinized, and in high-alert cases
sophisticated machines are used to provide animated
images of suspicious items. At that moment, the traveller’s
eligibility is ascertained either for entry or denial into that
country.
You’re God's man or woman who decides, after
14
scrutinizing, to allow only things that are consistent with
the good, acceptable and perfect will of the Father to come
into your world. This is easy to understand because we
are His righteous ones; we give vent to His glory; we give
vent to His will. It's our calling. Hallelujah!
Recall the words of the Master in Matthew 16:19: “…
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.” When you disallow or permit
something on earth, heaven gives the authority and backs
what you’ve said.
Consciously and vehemently refuse the works of
evil and forbid them in your nation, in your body, family,
job and around you. Allow only the divine realities of the
Kingdom into your world. It begins with the renewing
or transformation of your mind. With a renewed mind,
you’ll think, permit and express only God’s thoughts, His
righteousness, love, kindness, joy and peace in your life
and your environment. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m yielded to the transforming power of
your Word, enabled to discern and walk in your perfect
will always. I’m your agent in the earth, allowing only
that which aligns with your perfect will to come into this
world and vehemently forbidding anything contrary to
your purpose, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

HEIRS OF HIS KINGDOM

…Jesus came into Galilee, preaching


the gospel of the kingdom of God, And
saying, The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand…
(Mark 1:14-15).

T KH/RUG-HVXVEURXJKWDQGRႇHUHGWKH.LQJGRP
to the Jews; He preached to them saying, “The
kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 3:2; Matthew 4:17;
Mark 1:14-15; Luke 10:9).
However, they rejected His message and turned down
+LVRႇHURIWKH.LQJGRP$VDUHVXOW+HGHFODUHGWRWKHP
"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be
taken away from you and given to a people who will
produce its fruit” (Matthew 21:43 NIV).
7KH.LQJGRPZDVRႇHUHGDQGDOOWKRVHZKRDFFHSWHG
its message received eternal life. Christians are those who
have accepted the message of the Kingdom, received
eternal life into their spirits, and are now members—
citizens and heirs of that Kingdom.
No wonder the Bible tells us in Romans 8:16-17
(NKJV), "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of God, and if children,
then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,

'HVSLWHOLYLQJLQDZRUOG¿OOHGZLWKZLFNHGQHVVDQGHYLO
He has granted us this extraordinary privilege to be heirs
of His Kingdom. We’re not of this world. We don't belong
in Satan’s realm; we’re not under Satan’s jurisdiction or
authority.
The Bible says in Colossians 1:13 that God has
delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us
into the Kingdom of His Love-son. Blessed be God! Also,
He’s made us kings and priests in His glorious Kingdom
to produce fruits of the Kingdom—fruits of righteousness
and eternal life.
We’re the ones Peter referred to when he said, “But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9). Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me an heir of your
glorious Kingdom. I recognize that I have received
eternal life and have become a citizen and member of this
Kingdom; therefore, I’m alienated from the depravities,
corruption and decadence in this present world. I’m
enthroned with you, far above principalities and powers,
in Jesus' Name. Amen.

HE SEES THE HEART
And he said unto them, Ye are they
which justify yourselves before men;
but God knoweth your hearts: for that
which is highly esteemed among men is
abomination in the sight of God
(Luke 16:15).

O ftentimes, we’ve witnessed certain people being


promoted, honoured, esteemed, and respected
by men. However, while men may promote and esteem
from the outside, it is God who truly knows the heart. Luke
16:15 tells us that what is highly esteemed among men is
abomination in the sight of God.
Consider the case of Haman in the Bible, a wicked
and malevolent fellow. Haman served as an advisor to
King Ahasuerus in the Persian Empire and was greatly
UHVSHFWHGDQGSURPRWHGWRWKHKLJKHVWUDQNLQJRႈFHLQ
WKHJRYHUQPHQW<HWKLVKHDUWZDV¿OOHGZLWKKDWUHGDQG
evil intentions.
Haman’s wickedness was evident in his intense
hatred for Mordecai, a Jewish man who refused to bow
18
down to him. He even plotted to exterminate all the Jews
and spearheaded a decree to annihilate them. But through
the heartfelt prayers of the Jews, the Lord foiled his evil
plans, and in the end, Haman faced the consequences of
his wickedness.
Jeremiah 17:10 reminds us that God searches the
heart and examines the mind, getting to the root of things.
He sees men as they truly are, not as they pretend to be.
Similarly, 1 Samuel 16:7 tells us that God looks beyond
outward appearances and sees the heart.
So, as you journey through life, be mindful of your
heart and intentions. Don't deceive yourself, thinking that
you can deceive others, for the Bible says God cannot be

love, and compassion, for that's what matters most to God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for guiding me to walk in faith,
hope, love, and humility. Thank you for sanctifying my
heart to serve you passionately, pleasing you in all
things, as I walk in your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

FRIDAY 8
WALK AS HE WALKED
But whoso keepeth his word, in him
verily is the love of God perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him. He
that saith he abideth in him ought himself
also so to walk, even as he walked
(1 John 2:5-6).

B eing born again, the love of God is already


perfected in us. His love is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Spirit who lives within us (Romans
5:5). It’s no use praying, “O, Lord put more of your love in
my heart!” No! You possess the fullness of God's love in
your heart. You can love as He loves. That’s why the Bible
enjoins us to “…walk, even as he walked" (1 John 2:6).
If you claim to abide in Christ, you should live as He
GLGHPXODWH+LP+HZDVORYHSHUVRQL¿HG(SKHVLDQV
2 tells us to emulate Him in our love-walk: “Therefore be
imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as
Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an
R௺HULQJDQGDVDFUL¿FHWR*RGIRUDVZHHWVPHOOLQJ
aroma” (NKJV).
22
We can live, act and think like Him because we have
the same life with Him. 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “…But we
have the mind of Christ." So, like the Master, never be
intimidated by circumstances. In every situation, manifest
the glory and power of divinity. Nothing could limit Jesus.
He exercised absolute dominion over the forces and
elements of this world.
Never be intimidated by the challenges that you face,
no matter how tough they are; walk as Jesus walked!
Today, you’re the manifestation of Him, you’re the
expression of Him. This is what true Christianity is—living
the Christ-life—the unveiling and outworking of Christ in
and through you. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the profound truth of your
Word that’s building my spirit strong and transforming
my life from glory to glory. Your love is perfected in
P\KHDUWDQGLWÀRZVWKURXJKPHWREULQJVXFFRXUWR
a hurting world. I’m the expression and manifestation
of Christ; His glory, power and righteousness today, in
Jesus' Name. Amen.

UNRIVALLED AUTHORITY IN HIS NAME
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18).

S RPHSHRSOHEUDJDERXWKDYLQJDXWKRULW\LQVSHFL¿F
places, perhaps in a nation, city, street etc. For
some, it’s even in classrooms, such that they become
bullies and terrorize their classmates. But there’s one
whose authority transcends the universe and extends to
all of heaven, the earth, and under the earth. His Name is
Jesus! Blessed be God!
The Bible says no one and nothing is exempted from
His rule, His dominion and authority. Ephesians 1:20-22
MSG sheds more light on the unrivalled and unparalleled
authority that He wields. It says, “...God raised him
from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven,
in charge of running the universe, everything from
galaxies to governments, no name and no power
exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being,
EXWIRUHYHU+HLVLQFKDUJHRILWDOOKDVWKH¿QDOZRUG
on everything….”
The most exhilarating part of this is the fact that His
authority is given to us because we’re one with Him. We’re
His seed and we prolong His days. He rules through us.
Isaiah 9:6 says, “…and the government shall be upon
24
his shoulder….” His shoulder refers to the Church— us;
we’re His body in and through which He speaks and acts
today.
This should help you understand why soon after He
DႈUPHG LQ 0DWWKHZ  WKDW DOO DXWKRULW\ LV +LV ERWK
in heaven and in earth, He immediately charged us in
the ensuing verse 19 to go and teach all nations. That’s
extraordinary, because it means we sit on His seat. We
function by His authority.
It’s the reason we can do the same works that He
did. He gave us power and authority over all devils, and
to cure diseases (Luke 9:1). Read what the Bible says in
Mark 16:17 NKJV: “And these signs will follow those
who believe: In My name they will cast out demons....”
You have unrivalled authority in the Name of Jesus to
cast out devils and tame circumstances. There’s nothing
you can’t do, and there’s no hopeless situation you can’t
change. You can do all things in His Name. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the unparalleled authority
and power that the Lord Jesus has given to the Church,
to exercise authority over devils, teach all nations and
catapult many from the domains of darkness into the
Kingdom of light. Thank you for the victory we have in
Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

M any think that the verse above refers to us


reigning with Jesus Christ in the sweet-by-and-
by; no! It’s talking about us reigning—“kinging”—in the
earth NOW by Jesus Christ. At the millennial reign, we will
reign with Him; but today, we reign by Him or through Him.
7KHUH¶VDJUHDWGLႇHUHQFHEHWZHHQWKHWZR
:KDW3DXOFDSWXUHVIRUXVLQ5RPDQVLVGLႇHUHQW
from Revelation 20:6 which says, “…they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him
a thousand years.” Notice that here, it says, “and shall
reign with him….” The word “with” is translated from the
Greek, “meta,” which denotes to do something together
with another or alongside. That's the one that's coming in
the future. So, now, we're not reigning with Christ.
In Romans 5:17 the Greek word 'Dia' is used, which
26
means 'by' or 'through.' Thus, we're reigning by or through
Jesus NOW; we’re reigning in His Name. Hallelujah! We’re
called to exercise dominion and to live as masters and
victors in life through Jesus Christ. We reign over Satan,
darkness, the world and all creation.
The actual Greek rendering of the word “reign” means
“to king.” You’re supposed to be “kinging” in life. The
$PSOL¿HG&ODVVLFWUDQVODWLRQVD\VZH“…reign as kings
in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah,
the Anointed One)” (Romans 5:17 AMPC).
As we take up the responsibility of prayer, using the
Name of Jesus and operating in His stead, we enforce the
Father’s will in the earth and establish His righteousness
in the nations of the world!

PRAYER
In the Name of the Lord Jesus, I exercise dominion over
circumstances and the spirits of darkness, for they're
subject unto me. I enforce the heavenly Father’s will
in the earth and establish His righteousness, peace,
prosperity, wholeness and wellness in the nations of
the world. Amen.

THE MYSTERY OF THE GODHEAD

And great and important and weighty, we


confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic
secret) of godliness. He [God] was made
visible in human flesh, justified and
vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen
by angels, preached among the nations,
believed on in the world, [and] taken up
in glory (1 Timothy 3:16 AMPC).

T here’re those who due to lack of proper


understanding of the Scriptures are confused about
the deity of Jesus. The Scriptures are unambiguous about
it. Even the portion we just read in our theme verse leaves
no one in doubt as to the fact that the one being referred
to as God is Jesus.
Some have asked, "If Jesus is God, how can He set
Himself at His own right hand in the heavenly places
as stated in Ephesians 1:19-20?” First, you have to
understand the extraordinary nature of God in which He's
DEOHWRPDQLIHVW+LPVHOILQGLႇHUHQWZD\VLW¶VWKHP\VWHU\
of His nature.
The Bible tells us about the divine nature of the
Godhead in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit; one God, but manifests in three separate
persons. We're never going to see three Gods in Heaven,
28
or three thrones with the Father sitting on one, the Son
on another, and then the Holy Spirit on the third one; no!
It’s only Jesus, because in Him dwells the fullness of the
Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9).
Colossians 1:19 says, “For it pleased the Father that
in him should all fulness dwell.” Recall at the baptism of
Jesus, as He came out of the water, the heavens opened,
and the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus. Simultaneously, a
voice spoke from heaven and said, "...This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17).
What an extraordinary manifestation of the three
persons: The Son is baptized in water, and right away

us…” -RKQ *RGEHFDPHÀHVKDQGGZHOWDPRQJ
us, and yet His presence and His voice would speak from
heaven. Amazing!

CONFESSION
I worship the Lord Jesus, for in Him dwells all the fullness
of the divine perfection, powers and attributes of divinity.
Lord, you’re the complete embodiment of Deity, the
outward expression or image of the invisible God. You're
the King eternal, gracious, loving and kind! I love you
with all my heart! Blessed be your Name forever!

BORN INTO THE VICTORIOUS LIFE
Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things
we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us (Romans 8:35-37).

Y RXFRXOGKDYHWULDOVDQGFKDOOHQJHVIURPLQÀDWLRQ
to economic recession, health issues, family
problems, etc. The good news, however, is that it doesn't
matter the challenges you face or the situation in your
country, the Word says, in all these things we’re more than
conquerors through Christ. This should give you comfort,
peace and joy.
Knowing we would encounter challenges in this world,
the Lord Jesus assured us of victory when He said in
John 16:33, "… be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.” Distressing situations abound in all human
societies because of man’s fall and failure, but the Word
declares “...in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).
You’ve been lifted over and above the depravities
DQGFRUUXSWLQJLQÀXHQFHVRIWKLVZRUOG5HFDOORXURSHQLQJ
verse again; it states clearly that neither tribulation,
distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, nor sword
30
can separate us from the love of God, because in spite of
them all, we are more than conquerors.
Now, if this meant that you’d conquer no matter what
you face in this world, that would have been wonderful.
But it means much more than that. It means you’ve gone
past conquering, because you conquered in Christ! You’re
now living in the victory of Christ!
That means there’s nothing to struggle with or try to
overcome anymore, because you’ve already won. Don't
allow the circumstances of life or the economic situation
in your country make you a victim. You were born into the
victorious life when you were born again.
Now you can understand why the Apostle Paul, in
spite of the great persecutions and adversities he faced
GLVPLVVHGWKHPDVOLJKWDႉLFWLRQ³)RURXUOLJKWD௼LFWLRQ
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians
4:17). Then in Acts 20:24, he said, “...none of these
things move me….”

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the victorious life that I have
in Christ! The greater One lives in me; therefore, I live in
WULXPSKRYHUFLUFXPVWDQFHVLQWRWDOIXO¿OPHQWMR\JORU\
and dominion! I reign and rule by your Word, irrespective
of what I feel, see, or hear, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PEACE—THE WORK OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven
(Matthew 5:16).

I saiah 32:17 says, "And the work of righteousness


VKDOOEHSHDFHDQGWKHH௺HFWRIULJKWHRXVQHVV
quietness and assurance forever." We’re the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21).
So, when the Bible talks about the work of righteousness
being peace, it’s telling you what you must produce as a
result of your nature: your work is to establish peace.
The word “peace” is from the Hebrew “shâlôm” and
it refers to the totality of the human welfare—health,
prosperity, etc. So, your work is to produce health,
prosperity, and peace. Remember the words of the Lord
Jesus in John 9:5. He said, “As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world.”
He didn’t say those things just to distinguish Himself
alone; He said it so we would know to speak accordingly.
You’re the bearer of His peace. Places where there had
been war, bloodshed, hostilities, and wanton destruction
of lives and properties can have peace when you show
up; darkness is dispelled and the righteousness of God is
32
established. Hallelujah!
Our God is the God of peace. Therefore, peace
in the nations is His will. The Lord Jesus said in John
14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto
you….” How the world needs this today—the peace that
only Jesus gives. We’re the ones to help others and the
nations experience this extraordinary life of peace through
prayer, the preaching of the Gospel, and our works of
righteousness.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, ³,H[KRUWWKHUHIRUHWKDW¿UVW
of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving
of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” That’s it!
Peace with extraordinary grace for prosperity, excellence,
preservation and rest will mantle the nations and hearts
of men as we pray for all men, as we carry out the works
RIULJKWHRXVQHVV6RLWPDNHVQRGLႇHUHQFHWKHWXUPRLO
distress and troubles in today’s world; decree peace, health
and prosperity for your city and nation.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m the expression of your will and nature
of righteousness, and I enforce your peace, health, and
prosperity wherever I go. I decree peace over my city
and nation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE DEATH-FREE PATHWAY

In the way of righteousness is life; and


in the pathway thereof there is no death
(Proverbs 12:28).

T hough the verse above is in the Old Testament, it


lays the groundwork for a principle that extends into
the New Testament. It says, "In the way of righteousness
is life….” The righteousness of Christ gave us eternal
life. We couldn’t please God, but Jesus did on our behalf.
Remember that Adam disobeyed God and committed
high treason against God. But Jesus Christ, the second
DQGODVW$GDPIXO¿OOHG*RG VZLOODQGRQDFFRXQWRI+LV
obedience, we’ve been made righteous: “Therefore as
E\ WKH R௺HQFH RI RQH MXGJPHQW FDPH XSRQ DOO PHQ
to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of
RQHWKHIUHHJLIWFDPHXSRQDOOPHQXQWRMXVWL¿FDWLRQ
of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous” (Romans 5:18-19).
Consider again the construction in our opening verse:
"In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway
thereof there is no death." In the path of righteousness,
death has no place; it’s a "death-free pathway."
The Bible says in Romans 8:2, “For the law of the
34
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death." The Greek construction here
isn’t referring to being delivered from sin as if you were
trapped in it, or being rescued or delivered from death as
if you were in its clutches. Rather, it’s saying that in Christ
Jesus, you’re death-free; there’s no death in you.
The human body is referred to as the "body of death"
in Romans 7:24. From the moment a person is born, they
carry death within them. Everything is done to prevent the
person from dying. This is because humanity inherited the
curse of death in the world.
So Paul says, “O wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24).
The very next verse says, "I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:25). Jesus provided the
solution; the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has
made us death-free. Praise God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the righteousness of
Christ by which I have eternal life. Therefore, I walk in
righteousness, and in my path, there’s no sickness,
LQ¿UPLW\SDLQZHDNQHVVRUGHDWK7KHODZRIWKH6SLULW
of life in Christ Jesus has made me death-free. Amen.

GRACE, TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND PEACE
Surely his salvation is nigh them that
fear him; that glory may dwell in our
land. Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed
each other (Psalm 85:9-10).

In Psalm 85, the Psalmist prophetically shows a


VLJQL¿FDQW UHODWLRQVKLS EHWZHHQ VDOYDWLRQ DQG WKH
land. Then, in the 10th verse, he prophetically paints a
beautiful imagery: "Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other."
The Hebrew word translated "mercy" is 'chêsêd,' which is
often translated as "lovingkindness."
What we have as lovingkindness in the Old Testament
is the equivalent of grace in the New Testament. It
represents God's unmerited favour; and this lovingkindness
was often expressed through covenants. The New Living
Translation calls it "unfailing love" because it was based
on the unbroken covenant God had with His people,
making it reliable and trustworthy: "Unfailing love and
truth have met together. Righteousness and peace
have kissed" (Psalm 85:10 NLT).
The Apostle Paul, in his beautiful discourse in Romans
5, brings this to mind when he said, "Therefore being
MXVWL¿HGE\IDLWKZHKDYHSHDFHZLWK*RGWKURXJKRXU
Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).
38
7KXVWKHSVDOPLVW¶VSURSKHWLFXWWHUDQFH¿QGVIXO¿OPHQW
in us today—the new creation in Christ. In us, grace and
truth have met together, righteousness and peace have
kissed each other. Blessed be God!
Why is that so important? In those times, they were
mostly farmers, and their prosperity often depended on
what came out of the land. The Bible says, “Truth shall
spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look
down from heaven. Yea, the LORD shall give that which
is good; and our land shall yield her increase” (Psalm
85:11-12).
This was how the psalmist could relate with it; and
remember, it was still prophetic in his time. This shows
the relationship of God’s blessings, salvation and
righteousness with the land, that is, your nation or your
country; they are key to what happens in the earth. In other
words, as a result of grace and truth, righteousness and
peace, there will be prosperity, wholeness and wellness
in the earth. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word
and the understanding of your righteousness. I walk in
the fullness of your grace and truth, righteousness and
peace. Therefore, I speak prosperity, peace, justice,
progress, wellness and wholeness to my country and
the nations of the world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

SATURDAY 16
SPEAK THE TRUTH

That we henceforth be no more children,


tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him
in all things, which is the head, even
Christ: (Ephesians 4:14-15).

P roverbs 19:9 says, “…he that speaketh lies


shall perish.” A Christian shouldn’t tell lies.
Colossians 3:9 says, “Lie not one to another, seeing
WKDW\HKDYHSXWR௺WKHROGPDQZLWKKLVGHHGV´Telling
lies is inconsistent with your nature as a new creation in
Christ. You’re a man or woman of truth, because you’re
WKHRႇVSULQJRI7UXWK“Of his own will begat he us with
the word of truth…” (James 1:18).
Lying is one of the cardinal attributes of Satan. In John
8:44, the Lord Jesus aptly described Satan when He said,
“…He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it.”
40
The Word of God is truth (John 17:17). And the Holy
Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13).
Now, a liar isn’t merely someone who told a lie but one
who loves and makes a lie; he constructs lies (Revelation
22:15); he plans or strategizes his lies. He knows what he
LVGRLQJLVZURQJEXWVWLOOJRHVDKHDGWRGRLWIRUVHO¿VK
reasons.
A liar is also one who speaks contrary to God’s Word.
As long as a man’s confessions are inconsistent with
God’s Word, they’re lies. 1 Peter 3:10 reveals something
instructive; it says, “For he that will love life, and see
good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and
his lips that they speak no guile.” To speak guile is to
speak in antithesis to the Word.
The Bible says, “… put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness”
(Ephesians 4:24). Now that you’re in Christ, you’ve put on
the new man; you have the God-nature. Act accordingly.
Speak the truth always.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who leads and
guides me to walk in truth. Thank you for my new life in
Christ; thank you for bringing me into the liberty of the
Spirit as I walk in the glory of my new life and nature in
Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

COMMUNICATE HIS LOVE
Let no corrupt communication proceed
out of your mouth, but that which is good
to the use of edifying, that it may minister
grace unto the hearers (Ephesians 4:29).

A s Christians, we have the Spirit of Christ. We’re


the light of the world. We’re to think, love, talk,

admonishes us to allow every detail in our lives—our words
and actions—to align with the character of Christ: “And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus….”
In other words, the character and presence of Jesus
ought to radiate through you in your every day walk. Like
Him, let your words be gracious and graceful. Practice the
love of Jesus through your words.
People remember you more for the things you said to
them and how you made them feel through your words.
So, make up your mind that your words will communicate
the presence and love of Jesus. Let the world see Jesus
in you. Let them feel His love in the words you speak.
42
,QWKHVDPHZD\WKDWWKH/RUG-HVXVZDVFRQ¿GHQW
to say, “...If you have seen me, you have seen the
Father...” (John 14:9 CEV); your testimony ought to be,
“If you have seen me, you have seen Jesus.” Let Him be
who they see and hear when they listen to you.
Never use terrible, abusive and insulting words even
if you’re angry. Never be happy that your words made
someone else sad. That’s inconsistent with your nature of
love. Be like Jesus: the Bible says, “...And the common
people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37). When people
hear you, they should be glad because of your gracious
and graceful words of life to them that stir the love for
Christ in their hearts.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your wisdom that’s in my heart
and in my words, and your love that’s seen and heard in
me today. Through my words, lives are transformed and
improved; those you’ve placed in my path are blessed,

$QGWKH:RUGZDVPDGHÀHVKDQGGZHOW
among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth
(John 1:14).

T he opening verse is one of the descriptions given


to us in Scripture of the Lord Jesus; He’s full of
grace and truth. Are you aware that the same is true about
you? In the 16th verse, it says, “And of his fullness have
all we received, and grace for grace.”
7KH$PSOL¿HG&ODVVLFVD\V"For out of His fullness
(abundance) we have all received [all had a share and
we were all supplied with] one grace after another and
spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even
favour upon favour and gift [heaped] upon gift." Now
that you’re in Christ, your life exudes favour upon favour,
grace upon grace.
(YHU\GD\RI\RXUOLIH\RXFDQEROGO\DႈUP2I+LV
fullness, I have received abundant grace—grace heaped
upon grace. I have grace before God, grace before men,
44
and grace for every assignment; I have grace everywhere
I go, and I’m walking in increased grace every day."
The Christian life is a life of unending grace; there is
more than enough grace for you every day. No need to
be overwhelmed or exasperated by the burdens of life.
No need for the struggle. Act on the Word. Hebrews 4:16
says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne

help in time of need.”

WORK THE WORD
Wherefore, my beloved… work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling
(Philippians 2:12).

T he Word of God is for doing; we’re doers of the


Word; we work the Word. As long as the Word
remains in the pages of your Bible, it won’t produce any
results for you. But when you meditate on the Word and
speak it forth, it comes alive and active.
Think about this: A lady who was diagnosed with breast
cancer asked that I prayed for her. But I told her she could
put the Word to work; she could use her mouth to cut out
the cancerous growth. I explained to her what the mouth
is—"stoma" (Greek), the front or edge of a weapon. She
was excited and immediately got to work. She spoke
consistently to the growth, in faith, over a period.
When I saw her a few months later, she was
completely healed; the cancer had dematerialized and
she was perfectly normal. She worked the Word. Glory to
*RG,I\RX¶UHVLFNEURNHQRUDႉLFWHGLQ\RXUERG\DQG\RX
desire to be well, put your faith to work. Work the Word.
46
All the blessings of God are already packaged and
delivered to you in Christ. The Bible says, “...all things
are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). 2 Peter 1:3 says He’s
"…given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness…." Ephesians 1:3 says He has blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
God already did everything He needed to do for
you to have and enjoy a glorious life. But you have the
responsibility to put the Word to work in your life. You’re the
one to ensure all the wonderful blessings of God manifest

victory, promotion etc. Declare your prosperity without
wavering. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I belong to Christ; therefore, I’m the seed of Abraham,
graced for greatness and ordained to be fruitful and
productive in every good work. My life is for the glory
of God and I reign and rule by the Word of God through
the power of the Holy Spirit. I launch out today in faith,
establishing the blessings and goodness of the Kingdom
in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE WANTS YOU WELL
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
went about doing good, and healing all
that were oppressed of the devil; for God
was with him (Acts 10:38).

I t has never been God’s will for anyone to be sick or


DႉLFWHGZLWKGLVHDVHVDQGSDLQV5DWKHU+HZDQWV
all men well. Read our opening verse again and notice
those the Lord Jesus healed; they were oppressed by the
devil, not God. The devil made them sick, but God wanted
them well and sent Jesus to heal them.
Consider for example the man who was possessed by
a legion of demons in the region of Gadara. The demons
caused him to exhibit violent behaviour and live among
tombs, but Jesus cast the demons out of him and he was
instantly restored to his right mind (Mark 5:1-20, Luke
8:26-39).
In Mark 7:24-30 and Matthew 15:21-28, we read
about the Syrophoenician woman who approached Jesus,
seeking help for her daughter who was demon-possessed.
The Bible shows us how the Lord commended her faith
and declared her daughter healed of demonic oppression.
Furthermore, in Mark 9:14-29, Matthew 17:14-21, and
Luke 9:37-43, the Bible shows us how a father brought his

from seizures due to a demon. Jesus rebuked the demon
and healed the boy. These and several other examples are
proof that God wants people well, vibrant, strong and free.
In fact, in 3 John 1:2, His desire is clearly stated.
He says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth." Think about that! He wants you to prosper,
DQGWKDWUHIHUVWRPDWHULDODQG¿QDQFLDOSURVSHULW\DQGDOVR
be in health, which is the physical prosperity or wellbeing
of your body—your health.
Then He adds, "…even as thy soul prospereth,"
emphasizing that your spiritual prosperity is paramount,
and your soul only prospers through the Word of God.
So stay in God’s Word; meditate on it and you’ll always
live in health, for God’s Word is medicine—health for the
physical body: “My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your
sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life

That’s His plan and He doesn’t want anything to cheat

embrace His plan for you to have and enjoy life to the full.

FRIDAY 22
WE ARE LIKE HIM
Herein is our love made perfect, that
we may have boldness in the Day of
Judgment: because as he is, so are we
in this world (1 John 4:17).

W hen you received Christ, you received His life and


nature and became like Him. 1 John 3:1 further
explicates this truth. It says, "Behold, what manner of
love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth
us not, because it knew him not."
:H¶UH+LVRႇVSULQJERUQQRWRIEORRGQRURIWKHZLOORI
WKHÀHVKQRURIWKHZLOORIPDQEXWRI*RG -RKQ 
Think about it, if you’re born of God, what does that make
you? Divine! No wonder He said through the psalmist, “I
have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of
the most High” (Psalm 82:6).
The Lord Jesus reiterated this truth when He said, “...
Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” (John
10:34). The people of the world may not recognize us, just
as they didn’t recognize Jesus when He came. But today,
through divine revelation, our eyes have been opened to
this truth to walk accordingly.
The Bible says “Beloved, now are we the sons of
54
God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but
we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like
him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). What
does this mean? It means our physical bodies will be

But right now, we have His life and nature—as He is, so
are we in this world.
Recall that after His resurrection, His disciples were
gathered in a room, with the doors and windows shut, but
Jesus came into their midst through a wall. They initially
thought He was a ghost but He invited them to touch Him,

may not be readily apparent to the people of the world, but

of God—not only for the future but right NOW!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your life and nature in me;
I celebrate my identity, knowing that you created me in
your image and in your likeness. I’m a partaker of your
glory, majesty, splendour and righteousness. Thank you,
for your organic and existential attributes are manifest
in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

SATURDAY 23
THE INFINITE EXPANSE OF
HIS DOMINION
And what is the exceeding greatness
of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty
power, Which he wrought in Christ, when
he raised him from the dead, and set him
at his own right hand in the heavenly
places (Ephesians 1:19-20).

W hen God raised Jesus from the dead, He set


Him at His own right hand, “Far above all
principality and power and might and dominion, and
every name that is named, not only in this world but
also in that which is to come" (Ephesians 1:21).
Right hand in Scripture means the place or seat of
power. It’s like you say, "Jim is my right-hand man"; it
means Jim represents and speaks for you; you’ve given
him your authority. Jesus being seated at God's right hand
means He’s seated in the seat of power; God operates
through Him. That's amazing!
But then we observe something remarkable about
WKH LQ¿QLWH H[SDQVH RI -HVXV  GRPLQLRQ +LV GRPLQLRQ
surpasses all levels and hierarchies of power. It’s “Far
above all principality and power and might and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this world but also in that which is to come" (Ephesians
1:21). Blessed be God!
56
The Lord Jesus reigns supreme in this world as it is
now and also in the ages to come. He holds unmatched
authority over all things, and His Name stands above
HYHU\WLWOH3UDLVH*RG7KH$PSOL¿HGWUDQVODWLRQUHQGHUV
it beautifully. It says Jesus is far above “…every title
that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this
world, but also in the age and the world which are to
come” (AMPC).
The New Living Translation emphasizes something
even more interesting; it says, “…he is far above any
ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else
in this world or in the world to come.” In other words,
call them whatever you want—the superiority of the Lord
Jesus is undeniable—transcending all persons, all limits
and all boundaries.
That's the Lord Jesus Christ in whom you believe and
whose birth is celebrated at this time all around the world.
His authority knows no bounds and has no equal. His
power extends throughout eternity. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I'm in awe of your mighty power, which was
demonstrated when you raised Jesus from the dead and
set Him at your right hand in the heavenly places, far
above all levels and hierarchies of power, dominion and
every title or name. Thank you, for I’m seated with Him
in this glorious place of power and authority and have
become his operational headquarters in the earth. Amen.

fear.
The angel reassured the shepherds, saying, "Fear
not" and went ahead to deliver the good tidings of great
joy that would be for all people. The angel proclaimed the
birth of a Savior in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord.
Furthermore, the angel gave the shepherds a sign

angels, praising God and declaring, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men"
(Luke 2:14). What an announcement!
His goodwill toward all men hasn’t stopped since then.
This is our Gospel! This is what Christmas is about! The
58
Bible says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
God is looking at all nations today with goodwill. Jesus
Christ was God’s love message; He was God’s love letter
to the world. When Jesus came, He was the expression
of the will and nature of God; He was the expression of
the Father’s righteousness! He was the manifestation of
God’s love.
Now, the most sublime of it all is that He made us
the expression of His will and nature. 2 Corinthians 5:21
declares, “For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.” In Christ, we are made
the righteousness of God. Every day of your life, you’re the
unfolding of the Father's heart. In other words, you are the
revelation of the Father's heart and of His will.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your love, grace and goodwill
towards all men; we take advantage of your goodness
and mercy to spread your Word of truth and thereby
bring men into the glorious life, peace, blessings and
righteousness in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

JESUS—THE TRUE GOD AND
ETERNAL LIFE
And this is life eternal, that they might
know thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3).

A s we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, it’s


important for us to grasp the full import and
meaning of eternal life. The fact that Jesus brought this
life makes it absolutely imperative that we know what it
means. What then is eternal life?
7R XQGHUVWDQG ZKDW LW PHDQV \RX¶G KDYH WR ¿UVW
understand what the Scripture says about God, about the
divinity of Jesus Christ, idolatry, and life itself. Many have
only known eternal life to be the life and nature of God.
%XW,¶OOJLYH\RXDGH¿QLWLRQWKDWFODUL¿HVLW(WHUQDOOLIHLV
the organic and existential attributes of deity.
In those few words, you have the distinguishing
factors—everything that separates our God from all others
that may be called gods. These attributes must be organic,
DQGWKH\PXVWEHH[LVWHQWLDO$QG\RXFDQRQO\¿QGWKDW
in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as expressed
in Jesus Christ.
That is what makes it beautiful because we don’t see
Him, yet we can call Him God. But who is He when you
don't see Him? That is why many have represented God
60
with whatever they think He is—stones, wood, or some
materials and shape—but our God is real and true.
Some people may argue that He doesn't exist, but He
came to us in Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “And the Word
EHFDPHÀHVKDQGGZHOWDPRQJXVDQGZHEHKHOG+LV
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth” (John 1:14 NKJV).
Jesus is Himself, God. Hallelujah! And He is eternal
life: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and
hath given us an understanding, that we may know him
that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his
Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life"
(1 John 5:20). 1 John 1:2: “For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto
you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and
was manifested unto us.”

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your
personality to my spirit. I’m overwhelmed by your
boundless love. I thank you for the privilege and blessing
to be a partaker of your life, and show forth your praises
and express your righteousness in the earth, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

JESUS—GOD’S WORD MANIFEST
IN FLESH
He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him
not (John 1:10).

J ohn 1:14 says, $QGWKH:RUGEHFDPHÀHVK«


(NKJV). In essence, the Word changed form and
EHFDPHPDQLIHVWLQWKHÀHVKDQGWKDW¶V-HVXV:KHUHZDV
Jesus before He was born in Bethlehem? He was in God
as God’s Word. For example, your words right now are in
you until you speak them forth.
Words are thoughts clothed with vocabulary. When you
speak, you speak your thoughts. Your thoughts are clothed
with language so someone else can understand. So, your
thoughts reside within you until you express them in words.
When you're thinking about something, nobody else
can discern your thoughts; they remain concealed within
your heart. However, when you speak, your words become
tangible and can be captured in time. This is why we can
record your voice and replay it later. Five years down the
line, someone can hear what you said, but it was hidden
in your heart until you uttered it.
Imagine if your words, once captured in time, could
step out of a computer or a recorder and materialize as the
very things you said. This is precisely what God did through
Jesus Christ. Jesus became the embodiment of God's will,
a revelation of His divine purpose and the manifestation
62
of His boundless love.
If you wanted to understand what God is like, you only
needed to look at Jesus. He declared, "I and my Father
are one" (John 10:30). And He consistently performed the
works and spoke the words that emanated from the Father.
In essence, Jesus was the living expression of God's Word.
It's quite common for people to be puzzled by certain
aspects of Jesus' life, such as when God spoke from
heaven during His baptism. So, they say, “If Jesus was
the manifestation of God, how come, when He was being
baptized, God spoke from heaven?”
God's nature and capabilities are far beyond our
understanding. We can draw a parallel from modern
technology: when I preach from a particular location,
anywhere in the world, my voice is heard in every known
country and territory on earth and in multiple languages.
If that is possible in this world, then think about what God
can do! His ability to speak from heaven while Jesus was
on earth transcends human limitations.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, you’re the God of heaven and earth; you
pre-existed creation, and by you, all things exist and
consist. I honour you, for you’re the embodiment of
wisdom, grace and truth; the only true God! Thank you
for giving me a life of victory, success, prosperity and
divine health. I love you forever.

NO FORCE CAN PREVAIL AGAINST YOU
For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life (John 3:16).

D id you know that the statement in our opening


verse is a divine decree? You’re kept from
perishing for believing in Jesus Christ. That means nothing
and no one can harm you. Jesus said in Luke 10:19,
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
He also said in Mark 16:18 that if you drink any deadly
thing, it will not hurt you. This is your heritage in Christ.
Psalm 91:5-7 says, “Thou shalt not be afraid for the
WHUURUE\QLJKWQRUIRUWKHDUURZWKDWÀLHWKE\GD\1RU
for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall
fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but
it shall not come nigh thee.”
Notice the latter part; it says the evil, the pestilence,
and the terror that destroy others won’t come near you;
64
why? Because you’re in Christ! Christ is a place; and
therein you’re shielded from the destructions, calamities
and degradations of this present world. Hallelujah!
It further reminds of the words of the Prophet Isaiah in
Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper…This is the heritage of the servants of
the LORD....” The reason the weapons can’t prosper is
that you have eternal life—the indestructible, incorruptible
and impregnable life of God!
Remember what we read in our opening verse: “…
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” It’s a life of absolute mastery and
dominion, a life of glory, victory, success and excellence.
Because of this life in you, no evil force can prevail against
you. You’re more than a conqueror! Glory to His Name
forever!

PRAYER
Thank you, Father, for your glorious life in me; I live
triumphantly today, far above Satan and the negative
systems of this world. Thank you for appointing me to
a life of glory, victory, success and excellence, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM FOR
REVELATION
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of him: The eyes of
your understanding being enlightened;
that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the
glory of his inheritance in the saints

T he underlined portion in our opening scripture


above seems to suggest that the Apostle Paul was

spirit of revelation, but no! He’s dealing with one and the
same thing: the Spirit of wisdom bringing you revelation—
the unveiling of mysteries—“apocalupsis” (Greek).
The Spirit of wisdom refers to the operations of the
Spirit of God in wisdom, the Spirit of God manifesting
Himself in wisdom. The use of the word “and” in that
expression needs to be properly understood. In the Greek
rendering, the word translated “and” is also translated
“in,” “with,” or “for.” Therefore, a better rendering of that
expression is “…the spirit of wisdom in revelation” or “the
spirit of wisdom for revelation” in the exact knowledge of
God.

FRIDAY 29
JESUS MADE FELLOWSHIP WITH
GOD A REALITY
For he is our peace, who hath made both
one, and hath broken down the middle
wall of partition between us
(Ephesians 2:14).

T he Lord Jesus came to bring us into fellowship


with God. He came to establish an intimate
relationship—a oneness between God and man so that
man can truly know God; and He achieved it. In Christ
Jesus, we were given eternal life; the life and nature of
God was imparted to our spirits.
He said in John 10:10 NIV, “The thief comes only to
steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may
have life, and have it to the full.” The Christ-life in its
fullness is what you received when you received Jesus as
Lord of your life. The Bible says in Colossians 3:4, “Christ
is our life”; He’s the life of the one who’s born again. What
a Gospel!
This is what He wants us to preach and teach around
the world. He said in Mark 16:15, “...Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” He
wants us to let the world know that a relationship with
Almighty God is possible; righteousness is possible
and available. All it takes is to believe: “…whosoever
70
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal
life” (John 3:15). Hallelujah!
Jesus died for our sins, but He rose triumphantly from
the dead after three days. His death settled the charges
against us, but it didn’t make us one with God. It was His
resurrection that gave us eternal life and brought us into
oneness with God.
Now, Jesus Christ isn’t only the Lord of your life but
also one in and by whom you’ve found rich and deep
fellowship: “That which we have seen and heard declare
we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us:
and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with
his Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3).
1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom
ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord.” This is what God had always wanted
with man: fellowship! Jesus made it a reality. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the remarkable gift of
fellowship, oneness, friendship and intimacy with you,
and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who has made your
presence real to me. I enjoy the depth of this relationship,
and walk in the love and righteousness that Jesus has
made available for me to live by. Amen.

SATURDAY 30
HE REHEARSED DIVINITY TO US
No man hath seen God at any time;
the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him (John 1:18).

T he word "declared" in our opening verse originates


from the Greek term "exegeomai," signifying
not just a mere declaration but the act of rehearsing or
unfolding something. In essence, Jesus rehearsed divinity
to us. He came to reveal God in a way we could relate
with and understand.
The life of Jesus was a living testament, a vivid
portrayal of the Kingdom's principles and the divine way
of living. This profound truth is why the Bible instructs us
to follow in His footsteps, for He’s given us an example
to emulate.
1 Peter 2:21 underscores this beautifully: "For even
KHUHXQWRZHUH\HFDOOHGEHFDXVH&KULVWDOVRVX௺HUHG
for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow
his steps." Jesus came to show us the Father's love,
character and will. He said in John 14:9, “…he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father…”; a claim only the One
ZKRZDV*RGLQWKHÀHVKFRXOGPDNH
Ephesians 5:1-2 says, "Be ye therefore followers of
God, as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also
72
hath loved us...." The term "followers" translates from
the Greek word "mimetes," denoting not merely followers
but imitators, those who copy another. We’re called to be
imitators of God, but how can we imitate God when we
haven't seen Him?
Jesus made it possible! He came to reveal God's
nature and His love for us. God loves us; we know because
we see from the Scriptures how Jesus was moved by love
and compassion. Jesus in action was God at work.
Now we can manifest the Father ’s love, His
righteousness, mercy, compassion and grace because
that’s what Jesus did when He walked the earth. We have
the life of Christ in us, and His love is poured out in our
hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). The Apostle Paul
tells us, “And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us
DQGJLYHQ+LPVHOIIRUXVDQR௺HULQJDQGDVDFUL¿FHWR
God for a sweet-smelling aroma” (Ephesians 5:2 NKJV).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for revealing your nature and
your love to us through the Lord Jesus. I follow in His
steps and imitate Him in my daily life, loving as He loved,
walking as He walked and thinking as He thought. Your
love shines through me as a testament to your character
and nature in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

OUR MINISTRY OF HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Being filled with the fruits of
righteousness, which are by Jesus
Christ, unto the glory and praise of God
(Philippians 1:11).

G od sent us to take His presence to the peoples


and nations of the world, demonstrating to them
the character of the Spirit. But what’s in that presence? It’s
the righteousness of God. When we bring the presence of
God to an individual or a community, we’re bringing them
the righteousness of God.
This very much aligns with the vision of Jesus. He
came to set up the Kingdom of God in the earth; He came
to establish God’s righteousness. Before His birth, the
angel announced to Mary that His name shall be called
Emmanuel—God with us (Matthew 1:23). That’s God’s
presence, and Jesus was the righteousness of God
XQYHLOHGLQÀHVK
God’s presence is His righteousness in manifestation.
That's why we preach and teach the righteousness of
God; because only through His righteousness can the
people experience His Person. You can’t know God with
your senses; you can’t know Him until you understand His
74
righteousness, which is revealed in His acts of love.
It’s the reason we want the whole world to know who
Jesus is. We want the whole world to experience the
righteousness of God. When we talk about the love of
God, the love of God actually is the demonstration of the
righteousness of God.
Wherever the righteousness of God is in manifestation,
the love of God is experienced. We’ve been made His
righteousness, which means the righteousness of God
is in manifestation through you in your world—in your
RႈFHLQ\RXUKRPHHWF<RXKROGIRUWKWKHIUXLWVRI*RG¶V
righteousness everywhere.
It’s the reason when you get involved in a matter, it
shouldn’t be about taking sides with anyone but about
establishing the righteousness of God, because that’s
what we represent; that’s what we’re called to establish.
Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me a conveyor of your
divine presence, a dispenser of your righteousness.
Everywhere I go, I exude the excellence and elegance of
the Spirit. I’m the manifestation of your righteousness. I
spread and speak forth your righteousness and give vent
to your glory and virtue, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PRODUCT OF WORDS
But I say unto you, That every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day of
judgment. For by thy words thou shalt
EHMXVWL¿HGDQGE\WK\ZRUGVWKRXVKDOW
be condemned (Matthew 12:36-37).

Y our life is the outworking of all you’ve imbibed


in words; your life is a product of words. Human
beings were created with words. The physical body was
formed from the dust of the ground but the human person—
the real you, which is your spirit—was created with words.
Also, to be born again, a man is recreated with words
(Romans 10:9-10). Words are so important. As a matter
of fact, words are everything. They’re the most potent and
important things in the earth. Think about it: the whole
universe was created with words.
Your circumstances are a product of words. And if
your circumstances have been created for you by others,
the only way you can change them is also by words. Now
you can understand why the Bible says, “Take with you
6
words…” (Hosea 14:2). Every time you speak, you shape
your life and future; you chart your course. This new year,
chart a greater and brighter future for yourself with your
words. Declare your victories. Have the right words in
your mouth.
More than ever, meditate on the Word to help you form
the right mindset, because before you can talk right, you

a great life. Acknowledge and declare that you’re living the
life of righteousness, dominion and glory in Christ Jesus.

CONFESSION
I chart a greater and brighter future for myself with my
words. I take my place of dominion and I reign in the
Name of Jesus over circumstances through words. I

WE’RE HIS WITNESSES
But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth (Acts 1:8).

A witness is a proof producer; one who has evidence.


We produce evidence that Jesus is alive and
that His message of salvation is a message that works.
Hallelujah! 2 Corinthians 5:19 says, “To wit, that God
was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” This
is our message.
Jesus brought humanity out of sin so that they might
inherit His righteousness. He brought us out of death, pain
and penury so that we might have life to the full and live
in prosperity, health and wellness. Now we can help those
who don’t know Him to discover His light, learn about Him
and receive His righteousness. He saved us and made us
His partners in saving others.
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 says, “We then, as workers
together with him, beseech you also that ye receive
not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard
thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation
8
have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation)." We’re living
in the day of salvation, the day of God’s grace, today.
Hallelujah!
As we approach the end of this present world, we’re
to live circumspectly, warning every man and teaching
every man in all wisdom that we may present every man
perfect in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:28). He wants all men
to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1
Timothy 2:4). That’s why He sent us to preach the Good
News of salvation.
In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus said to His disciples, “...
The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are
few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth labourers into his harvest.” We’re His
labourers for the end-time harvest, sent with the message
of His saving power. We’re the bearers of the Gospel of
His grace. What an honour!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m grateful for the privilege of being
your witness, and for entrusting me with the word of
reconciliation—the message of your love and grace. I
recognize that I am a partner in your divine plan to bring
salvation to many and usher them into their glorious
inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOUR PROSPEROUS LIFE IN CHRIST

And God is able to make all grace

[possessing enough to require no aid
or support and furnished in abundance

G od’s plan is for His children to have abundant


VXSSO\ ,¶YH VHDUFKHG WKH 6FULSWXUHV DQG , ¿QG
no place where it gives us the idea that poverty, lack and
want might be God’s will; there isn’t even a suggestion of
that in the Bible. Recall that even the devil blamed God
for making Job rich and blessing him with great substance
(Job 1:9-10).
<RXKDYHWRHPEUDFHWKHUHDOLW\WKDW\RXU¿QDQFLDORU
material prosperity is important to God. He said in 3 John
1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Think about that!
Then Job 22:24-25 says, “Then shalt thou lay up
gold as dust…and thou shalt have plenty of silver.” If
you ever wiped a table clean of dust, you’d observe that
after a while, dust settled again on the surface. It paints a
picture of the kind of prosperity God’s people are called to
experience—an unending and abundant supply.
10
It brings to mind the words of David in Psalm 23:1-2,
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures….” That’s the way to
think. You’re plugged into an unending supply. This has
nothing to do with the country where you live; it’s the life
you’ve been called to in Christ Jesus.
Recall again what we read in our opening scripture.
God doesn’t want you conscious of need. You’re an heir
of God and a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). 1
Corinthians 3:21 says, “…all things are yours.” Your
heavenly Father owns the whole world and has willed
it to you because you’re Abraham’s seed: “And if ye
be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).
Choose the joyful, prosperous life in Christ. Don’t see
your job or business as your source of livelihood but as
a medium to bless others. In Christ, you’ve been brought
into the life of superabundance; acknowledge and enjoy
your inheritance.

PRAYER
Dear Father, you’re gracious and kind. I thank you for
making me a joint-heir with Christ; the world belongs to
me. I choose to live the joyful, prosperous life in Christ,
for all things are mine, and nothing good is withheld
from me. I dwell in the realm of superabundance and my
life is a manifestation of your love and grace, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

THE RESURRECTION IS THE KEY
But what saith it?...That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved (Romans 10:8-9).

C hristianity begins with the resurrection of Jesus


Christ, not the death. This doesn’t mean the death
of Jesus Christ is not important, for there would be no
resurrection if there were no death. If you believe in the
UHVXUUHFWLRQ \RX GH¿QLWHO\ EHOLHYH LQ WKHGHDWKEXWWKH
key is in believing in the resurrection. That’s what gave
us a new life.
In Acts 13:33, the Bible says, ³*RGKDWKIXO¿OOHGWKH
same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up
Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.” This
isn’t referring to His birth in Bethlehem but the rebirth at
the resurrection.

Father. He cried out on the cross “My God, my God, why
has thou forsaken me” (Mark 15:34). When that happened,
it became possible for Jesus to die physically.
When He died, He went to hell in the spirit, because
that's where we all should have gone; He went to hell in
12
our place. But He was a righteous man, bearing the sins
of others. The Bible shows us how in hell, Satan and all
the demons of darkness grappled with Jesus in order to
VXEGXH+LP%XW+HWKUHZRႇIURP+LPVHOISULQFLSDOLWLHV
and powers and made a public spectacle of them
(Colossians 2:15).
Jesus publicly defeated Satan and the demons of
darkness and came out of death and hell in victory. When
+HDURVHWKH%LEOHVD\V+HZDVMXVWL¿HGWKHUHVXUUHFWLRQ
was the sign. That rebirth at the resurrection meant that
there was no sin, there was no condemnation; the debt of
sin was paid by His death, but His resurrection of a new

a new creature: “Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4).

acknowledge the glorious victory He achieved over Satan
and the forces of darkness, triumphing over death and

the place of victory, authority and dominion forever, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a


light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).

T he Church of the living God is the pillar and ground


of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15). It has systems,
structures and principles. Except we understand them,
many could live amiss and think they're doing right just
because they feel good about their actions. That you feel
good or are at peace about something doesn’t make it
acceptable to God.
The Word of God remains the ultimate guide. What
should matter the most to you is what God says about
anything. The Spirit of God inside you will always bear
witness with His Word as He guides you from within. He

late in life that you were living the wrong way or that all
you were doing was rejected by God. How can you know
that you’re pleasing Him or that what you're doing is right?
It’s through the Scriptures.
The Word of God is clear as to how we must live; it’s
your perfect guide. The Psalmist said, “Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm
119:105). Recall the words of the Master in John 8:12: “…I
am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
How do you follow Him?
It’s through the Word, by the Word, and in the Word.
Follow the Word and you’ll not make errors, for those who
err, according to the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:29 do
so because they don’t know the Scriptures: “…Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures….”

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that’s my sure

will always. Your Word illuminates my heart to deal wisely

CALLED OUT TO SERVICE

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know


how thou oughtest to behave thyself in
the house of God, which is the church
of the living God, the pillar and ground
of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15).

T he word, "Church" in the New Testament really


means “the called out ones”; from the Greek
“Ecclesia” (a calling out). And when we say we’re God's
called-out ones, it doesn’t refer to being called out of the
world unto God. What actually happens is that we’re called
out from home to service.
:H¿QGWKLVFDSWXUHGLQ+HEUHZVZKLFKVD\V
“Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach.” Mark the expression, “without the
camp”; it means outside the camp. We’re the called out
ones to serve Him outside the camp.
It mirrors what the Bible says, that Jesus Christ was
FUXFL¿HGRXWVLGHWKHFLW\JDWHV6R+HVD\VOHWXVDOVRJR
forth therefore unto Him outside the camp, bearing His
reproach. It's about our work of service, our evangelical

some more; it says, “For here have we no continuing
city, but we seek one to come." In other words, get to
work, do His work.
When we gather as the Church, it's for a purpose; we
come to praise Him for the purpose of going to do what He
told us to do. He said: “...Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). The
real work is outside the camp. We’ve been sent to spread
the news of His saving power to the ends of the earth.

PRAYER
I’m called out to a purpose, to a mission of service.
Therefore, I commit myself to be diligent and faithful in
the work of service the Lord has called me to, to reach
the unreached and saturate the world with the message

LAMBENT BY THE HOLY GHOST
For ye were sometimes darkness, but
now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

T here’s a remarkable thought in Ephesians 1:18; it


says, “The eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints.” The word enlightened is
“photizo” (Greek). It means to shine the light on, to turn
light on something or light up. This is the ministry of the
Holy Spirit in your life.
Through the ministry of the Spirit, we’re illuminated,
and that's just one part. The second part is what happens
in us through the ministry of the Word by the same Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, through His ministry, enlightens us with
the Word to become luminous—lambent. This happens
in meditation.
It's one thing to be illuminated, but it’s another thing to
become lambent. You become a light because you were
born to be a light through the Word. Without the Word, your
18
light is dim. The Word of God is light (Psalm 119:105). No
wonder the Bible says to let the words of Christ dwell in
you richly (Colossians 3:16).
The more you inundate your spirit with the Word, the
more your light shines, the more lambent you become.
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
:LWKWKH:RUGLQVLGH\RXWKH¿UHEXUQV\RXEHFRPH
incandescent; you light up everywhere. You're not only a
light to your family, but also a light to your city, your nation
and the nations of the world. Even now, lift your hands and
declare, “I'm a light to the nations. I’m lambent by the Holy
Ghost that dwells in me. I’m a light in the Lord, and I walk
as a child of light. I'm shining brightly.” Blessed be God!

ministers of reconciliation. Hallelujah!
2 Corinthians 5:18 says, “And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.”
You have a message; you have a purpose. Your job
is so important: it’s to help men and women discover
Jesus, bringing them out of darkness, sin and death into
righteousness and eternal life. What a ministry!

You represent the government of Heaven; therefore,
you’re backed by divine authority. The Lord said in Matthew
28:18, “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth.” Then on the basis of that authority, He said to us
in the very next verse, “Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations..." (Matthew 28:19). There’s no higher mandate
than the one given to us by Jesus Christ to take the Gospel
to every man’s world. He has commanded us to go and
speak and act in His Name. We’re His ambassadors, to
make students of the nations, to show them how to live.

I n the scriptures, especially reading through the


*RVSHOV\RX G¿QGPDQ\LQVWDQFHVZKHUHWKH/RUG
Jesus taught on the Kingdom of God. He did this because
He wanted His disciples to understand how to live and be
responsible in the Kingdom.
When you come into Christ, there are things the Lord
will do for you as clearly spelt out in His Word which,
actually, have already been done. But you also owe Him
a responsibility to live for Him as He has said. You're living
here on earth, not for yourself, but for God’s purpose.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 says, “For the love of Christ
constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one
died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all,
that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose
again.” To live for Him means you have to do things His
24
way, not your way; you make His priorities your priorities.
Your life is about the expansion and establishment of His
Kingdom in all the earth and in the hearts of men.
That’s why you have to study God’s Word—the
Scriptures—to understand life in the Kingdom. God’s Word
is the document that details and helps you understand your
Kingdom rights, blessings, privileges and responsibilities. It
gives you prophecy, history, instructions and information on
the Kingdom. It’s designed and inspired by God to train you
in the things concerning the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah!

OVERTURN THEIR DARKNESS
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost: In whom the god of this
world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine unto them
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

N otice what we just read: Satan, the god of this


world, blinded the minds of those who don’t
believe the Gospel; for what purpose? So that the light of
the “glorious Gospel” of Christ should not shine unto them.
But he’s been defeated. Glory to God!
Through the power of the Name of Jesus, we’re able
WREUHDN6DWDQ¶VKROGDQGLQÀXHQFHRYHUSHRSOH¶VOLYHVDQG
cause the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ to shine
unto them. We overturn their blindness. Hallelujah!
The Bible says in Acts 26:16-18, “…for I have
appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee
a minister and a witness…Delivering thee from the
people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I
send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from
26
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto
God....” What a ministry; what a calling! We’re sent “…
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to
light, and from the power of Satan unto God....”
Satan blinded them, but your purpose is to overturn
their darkness. You have the power to open their eyes
through the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of
God unto salvation to all who believe (Romans 1:16).
When you share the Gospel with those who haven’t
known the Lord, their eyes are opened. That's why you’re
in that city; that's why you’re in that town; that's why you’re
in that country—to preach the Gospel and turn men from
darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation that through
the Name of Jesus, we have the authority and ability to
overturn the darkness that blinds the minds of those who
do not believe. Today, as the Gospel is preached around
the world, many are turned from darkness to light and
from the power of Satan unto God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Master as part of His response to Philip, one of His
disciples who asked Him to show them the Father. Jesus
minced no words; He said, “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen
WKH)DWKHU´,QRWKHUZRUGV³,¶PWKHSUR¿OHRIWKH)DWKHU´
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the image (icon) of the
invisible God (2 Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:15). That
means He’s the resemblance and visual representation of

descriptions and attributes of Deity.

Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory and the “express
image” of His person. Here, “charakter” (Greek) is used for
express image; and it means the facsimile or print copy.
Jesus is the facsimile or print copy of God. This is amazing!
28
The Bible says in Jesus dwells the fullness of the
Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9). It pleased the Father
that in Him (Jesus) should all fullness dwell (Colossians
1:19). No wonder He said in John 10:30, “I and my Father
are one.”
When you see Jesus, you won’t need to look for the
Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the perfect appearance
and replica of the Godhead. He’s the expression of God’s
glory, honour and majesty. Blessed be His Name forever!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m in awe of your glory, honour and
majesty as revealed in Jesus Christ—the “print copy”
of your divine essence—the clear and unmistakable
representation of your character and nature. Lord Jesus,
you’re the beauty of divinity and the perfect expression
of the Father’s person. I worship and adore you forever.
Amen.

DOMINION OVER DARKNESS
Who hath delivered us from the power

the kingdom of his dear Son
(Colossians 1:13).

T KHUH V QR VSHFL¿F FDOOLQJ RႈFH RU D XQLTXH JLIW


among Christians that’s exclusively for casting out
demons. Nowhere in the Bible is such a gift mentioned.
Rather, what the Bible says is that every Christian, without
exception, has the authority and ability to cast out demons.
7KLVWUXWKLV¿UPO\HVWDEOLVKHGLQWKHZRUGVRI-HVXV “And
these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils…” (Mark 16:17).
I want you to carefully observe what the Master said:
"These signs shall follow them that believe," not “them with
special gifts or ability,” but those who believe in Him. That
includes you. Our dominion and superiority over Satan is
simply because of who we are in Christ and the power of
attorney He’s given to us to use His Name. So, the idea
of needing someone to pray a “powerful prayer” for you to
cast the devil out is unnecessary. What you simply need
is the recognition of the power in the Name of Jesus and
use it to subdue demons.

30
In Colossians 1:13, the Apostle Paul reminds us of
a fundamental reality: we’re not under the jurisdiction of
Satan. This truth should be evident in your life; live free
from the encumbrances of the enemy. Your life can be as
glorious as you desire it to be; you have the authority to
make it happen.
There's no need to implore God to deal with the devil
for you, because He has already executed the full victory
over the enemy long before you came on the scene.
Almost two thousand years ago, Jesus decisively dealt
with the devil. The Bible says, “And having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a shew of them
openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).
And guess what? When Jesus defeated them, you
were in Him. In Christ, you defeated Satan and the
principalities of darkness. It’s the reason you’re superior
to them and can reign and rule over them. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the authority and power you
have given to the Church over Satan and the principalities
of darkness. I’m seated with Christ in glory, dominion
and power. I reign and rule over the circumstances and
elements of this world, today and always, because I live
in, and by the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

SATURDAY 13
A PRACTISE FOR US
No man hath seen God at any time; the
only begotten Son, which is in the bosom
of the Father, he hath declared him
(John 1:18).

T he word declared in our opening verse is from


the Greek “exegeomai” and it means to rehearse
or unfold. So, what that verse is saying is that Jesus
rehearsed divinity to us. How He lived, and the things He
did, as recorded in the Scriptures, was a practice for us to
see and know how to live the life of the Kingdom.
No wonder the Bible says He has given us an example
that we should follow His steps: “For even hereunto were
\HFDOOHGEHFDXVH&KULVWDOVRVX௺HUHGIRUXVOHDYLQJ
us an example, that ye should follow his steps” (1 Peter
2:21). Jesus rehearsed the God-life to us. He rehearsed
righteousness to us.
He came to live before us so we could know what
God is like. John 1:14 says, “And the Word was made
(became)ÀHVKDQGGZHOWDPRQJXV DQGZHEHKHOG
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.” He said in John 14:9,
“…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father....”
32
Amazing words!
God wants you to have the same consciousness. He
wants you to think and talk like Jesus. How much of the
person and character of Jesus is expressed in and through
you? Ephesians 5:1-2 says, “Be ye therefore followers
of God, as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ
also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an
R௺HULQJ DQG D VDFUL¿FH WR *RG IRU D VZHHWVPHOOLQJ
savour.”
The word “followers” is from the Greek “mimetes,”
meaning to be an imitator, to copy another. The only reason
we can imitate God is because we’ve seen Him in Jesus
Christ. Jesus came to unveil Him. For example, we often
talk about how God loves us, but we couldn’t describe
that love until we saw Jesus in action. Now we can walk
in love, as Christ also loved us. Christ showed us how to
practice God’s love. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I walk in love and righteousness and display the
character of Christ to my world. I think, talk, and act
like Jesus, expressing the God-life in me and impacting
my world with the divine nature of God in me, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

…when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed

that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-8).

T he distinction between the Rapture and the


Second Coming of Christ, for most people, has
been a source of confusion. Nevertheless, the Scriptures
unambiguously delineate these two distinct events.
First, the Second Coming of Christ is not intended
for Christians. The Rapture of the Church is meant for
Christians, and it will occur before the Second Coming.
In the Second Coming of Christ, we will come together
with Him, but it's primarily a time of judgment. It's called the
day of His wrath, the day of His judgment (2 Thessalonians
1:7-8). This judgment takes place before He establishes
the 1,000 years of peace. In Matthew 24:29, where Jesus
Himself speaks about this, He said, "Immediately after
the tribulation of those days...." This indicates that
the Second Coming of Christ will occur after the Great
Tribulation.
Matthew 24:30 says, “And then shall appear the
34
sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all
the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the
Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.” They will mourn because they weren't
expecting Him, they didn't believe in Him.
But notice what it says in the 10th verse; this judgment
will take place :KHQKHVKDOOFRPHWREHJORUL¿HGLQ
his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe
(because our testimony among you was believed) in
that day" (2 Thessalonians 1:10). Observe that it doesn’t

us. They’d wonder at His glory in us.
This aligns with what John said in 1 John 3:2, "…
when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we
shall see him as he is." When He comes, we come with
Him, looking like Him; they’ll see His glory in us, and they’ll
wonder at it. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, by your Spirit and your Word, I’m prepared
for the Rapture of the Church, living my life for the Lord,
every day. I walk in love, and my faith is activated to be
caught up to meet the Lord at His appearing, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

MONDAY 15
HE ABOLISHED DEATH
But is now made manifest by the
appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).

W hen I came across this verse years ago, for


a second I thought I didn’t see it. “Did Paul
actually say Jesus Christ abolished death?” I wondered.
I studied the verse in-depth, looking in the original Greek
and dissecting every word used. I found out after my study
that the verse meant exactly what it said: Jesus Christ
abolished death.
Some people try to reason it out and say Paul was
referring to spiritual death. A thousand times, no! Observe
from our opening verse that Jesus not only abolished
death, He brought life and immortality to light. If the death
was spiritual death, what about immortality? Could the
Bible have meant spiritual immortality? That expression
makes no sense; in fact, it’s a contradiction. Thus, the
reason Paul made reference to immortality is because he
was talking about physical death.
Some people however get troubled by what the Bible
says in 1 Corinthians 15:26: “The last enemy that shall
be destroyed is death.” So they say, “We still have death
38
to deal with; it’s the last enemy to be destroyed.” No, that’s
not what the Scripture is saying and I’ll explain.
It’s like when the Bible says in the book of Revelation,
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is
come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God…” (Revelation 12:10). The fact that the voice said
“Now is come salvation” didn’t mean everyone in the world

saved before then.
So, when the Bible says death is the last enemy to be
destroyed, it’s talking about death as a spirit that would
EHFDVWLQWRWKHODNHRI¿UH “And death and hell were
FDVW LQWR WKH ODNH RI ¿UH 7KLV LV WKH VHFRQG GHDWK´
(Revelation 20:14). That’s when death will be destroyed.
But already, it has been overcome; the law of death has
been abrogated. The Master didn’t come from heaven for
nothing. He didn’t die for nothing. He came to abolish death
and He achieved it! Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for our victory over death, hell
and the grave; thank you for bringing us into life and
immortality through the Gospel. I’m born of the life-giving
Spirit of Christ Jesus. Therefore, I’m a life-giving spirit
and I live by the law of the Spirit of life in Jesus Christ.
Amen.

THERE’S A CROWN WAITING

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast


which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown (Revelation 3:11).

W hat a strong admonition from the Lord! He


counselled the church in Philadelphia to hold
fast to what they had. These weren’t earthly things but
spiritual things. He told them to hold fast to them because
of the possibility of losing them. The way to hold fast to
what God has given to you is to put it to work; keep using it.
Imagine a Christian who was always winning souls and
EULQJLQJWKHPWRFKXUFK%XWRQHGD\VRPHWKLQJRႇHQGHG
him and he stopped winning souls. If only he knew that
there was a crown of righteousness waiting for him; but
now, someone else was going to get it.
If it weren’t possible for someone else to get it, God
wouldn’t have said so. Read our opening verse again:
“…hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take
thy crown.” Seeing someone else do what God told you
to do is one of life’s deepest pains. Think about Saul for
example; when God called Saul to be king of Israel, He
40
promised him an eternal dynasty. Saul however lost it, and
David got it (1 Samuel 13:13-14).
Whatever assignment is given to you to carry out in
the house of God, hallow it. Do it joyfully and do it as unto
Christ. Handle it with great care, because at the end of
the day, the Bible says we’ll all give account to God for all
that we did. Also, there’s a crown waiting and it’s a crown

assignment.

Dear Father, I recognize the spiritual treasures you
have entrusted to me and I hold fast to them diligently.

WE GROW BUT WE DON’T AGE
And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up
Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then]
He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the
dead will also restore to life your mortal
(short-lived, perishable) bodies through
His Spirit Who dwells in you
(Romans 8:11 AMPC).

S ome people believe the human body is meant to


be active and vibrant for only a few years before
it starts getting weak. So they ask, “Just how far can the
body go?” Well, the Bible shows us the body can go very
far. Adam lived for 930 years before he died. He didn’t
die because the body couldn’t take it anymore; he died
because of sin.
God had said to him, “But of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die” (Genesis 2:17). He ate of it and died. Many others
lived for several hundreds of years. Some even lived older
than Adam until the sin in the world got so much and God
said, “...My spirit shall not always strive with man, for
WKDWKHDOVRLVÀHVK\HWKLVGD\VVKDOOEHDQKXQGUHG
and twenty years” (Genesis 6:3).
Notice that God didn’t say less than 120 years. Some
people however quote Psalm 90 and say God reduced the
42
number of years of man’s life from 120 to 70. But that’s
incorrect. That particular Psalm wasn’t written by David;
it was a lamentation written by Moses. It says, “The days
of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by
reason of strength they be fourscore years...” (Psalm
90:10).
Moses wasn’t stating something from God; he saw
the children of Israel passing away at a young age and
he lamented. Think about it: how long did Moses himself
live? “Moses was one hundred and twenty years old
when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural
vigor diminished” (Deuteronomy 34:7 NKJV).
If Moses could have had such an amazing testimony,
you have something better. In Christ, you’ve been brought
into agelessness. When you were born again, you received
the same eternal life as Jesus. Eternal life is the life with
agelessness. When you received it, you were brought into
God’s realm of eternity, into an ageless zone. In Christ, we
grow without ageing; we have an endless, incorruptible,
and indestructible life.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for I’m no longer bound by the
limitations of ageing and decay. I have passed from death
to life; from age into agelessness. My body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit and I’m strengthened, vitalized, and
energized by Him now and always. Amen.

HE HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling


the world unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them; and
hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19).

J esus came to reconcile the world to Himself, not


imputing their trespasses against them. It reminds
of what the Bible says in Colossians 1:21-22, “And you,
who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body
RI+LVÀHVKWKURXJKGHDWKWRSUHVHQW\RXKRO\DQG
blameless, and above reproach in His sight” (NKJV).
Christ Jesus initiated and established peace between
God and man through His death on the cross. Man had
become alienated from the life of God through Adam’s
disobedience, but Jesus reconciled us with the Father in
WKHERG\RI+LVÀHVKWKURXJKGHDWKWRSUHVHQWXVKRO\
blameless and above reproach before the Father.
Now, who is Jesus, and why was He able to achieve

YOU LIVE IN THE KINGDOM NOW
For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ
(Philippians 3:20 NKJV).

D id you know that you’re a heavenly citizen? Your


life is from heaven. You’re not of this world. You’re
in God’s Kingdom now! Therefore, don’t transact your
DႇDLUVGRQ¶WOLYHDVWKRXJK\RX¶UHRIWKLVZRUOGRUOLYLQJLQ
the world: “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the
world, are ye subject to ordinances" (Colossians 2:20).
Your actions and reactions, your thoughts, words and
responses shouldn’t be like those of the people of the
ZRUOG<RX¶UHGLႇHUHQW<RXOLYHRQ*RG¶VWHUPV\RXOLYH
by His Word. You live by faith, because that’s the lifestyle
in our spiritual Kingdom.
Jesus said in John 15:19, “…I have chosen you out
of the world….” No wonder the Spirit, through the Apostle
Paul, cautioned, “Why are you still living as though you’re
in the world, when actually you live in Christ, in the Spirit?”
Then, in Galatians 5:25, He tells us to walk in the Spirit,
46
because we live in the Spirit. Now that you’re born again,
you live in two worlds: the physical world and the spiritual
world. But you have to be more conscious of the spiritual
world because life is spiritual.
Colossians 3:1-2 says, “If ye then be risen with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your
D௺HFWLRQRQWKLQJVDERYHQRWRQWKLQJVRQWKHHDUWK´
Live the life of heaven—on earth! Let your outlook on life
be from the Kingdom’s perspective.
When you understand this, you’ll never be perturbed
by the troubles and crises in the world; you’ll live above
them. This is because in the Kingdom we only win and
grow from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I’m not of this world; I’m born from heaven and live
the life of heaven now in the earth! I live above the
debilitating principles of this world, walking in victory,
health, strength and prosperity. I’m conscious of my
heavenly blessings, rights and privileges and I live in
them in Christ Jesus. Amen.

BE ZEALOUS FOR HIM
I know thy works, that thou art neither
cold nor hot….Because thou sayest, I
am rich, and increased with goods, and
have need of nothing…
(Revelation 3:15-17).

L aodicea was a rich city. It was located on major


trade routes and was a centre of currency
exchange. Even when parts of the city were destroyed by
DQHDUWKTXDNHWKH\ZHUHDEOHWRUHMHFW¿QDQFLDODVVLVWDQFH
from the imperialists because they had enough money to
rebuild.
However, because they were rich and had enough
resources at their disposal, they became spiritually
lukewarm. To be lukewarm means to be cold, expressionless,
inactive, or passive. That’s like some people today who
say, “Yes, I’m a Christian, but I’m not so into it. I keep my
Christianity quiet and calm. I’m moderate.”
But Jesus said to the Laodiceans, “…thou art neither
cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16).
In other words, He found them disgusting and was about
to vomit them out. Sadly, the people didn’t know this. They
48
didn’t know that each time they gathered together, the
Master stayed outside and didn’t enter their church. That’s
why He said, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock…”
(Revelation 3:20). He was supposed to be inside, but He
was disgusted.
Jesus admonished the Laodiceans not to trust in
their riches, but to be zealous. “As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent”
5HYHODWLRQ 7REH]HDORXVPHDQVWREHD¿UHRUEH
hot with zeal. He doesn’t want you cold or lukewarm. In
fact, He commands you to be zealous.
It’s better to be zealous than to be lukewarm. How
zealous can you be for Jesus to say: “It’s enough?” It will
only be enough when we get to heaven. Don’t let anyone
deceive you and tell you you’re doing too much for God.
Be your best and live your best for Him.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m always passionate, vibrant and aglow

He has already delivered us from the power of darkness.
The term “power” used here is "Exousia" (Greek), and
it translates to control or authority, highlighting that God has

darkness. He’s liberated us from the dominion, jurisdiction,

THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES
OF CHRIST
Unto me, who am less than the least
of all saints, is this grace given, that
I should preach among the Gentiles
the unsearchable riches of Christ
(Ephesians 3:8).

W hen God speaks, His words are never


exaggerated. He speaks absolute truth. So,
if He says that in Christ Jesus we have unsearchable
riches, wealth untold, then that’s the reality. See how
WKH$PSOL¿HG &ODVVLF UHQGHUV LW “To me, though I am
the very least of all the saints (God's consecrated
people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and
graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the
unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and
exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human
being could have searched out]." Amazing!
This is the reality of your life. In Christ, you were born
into unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable and
exhaustless riches—wealth, which no human being could
have searched out. You better believe this. It’s the reason

54
3DXOFRXOGEROGO\DႈUPLQ&RULQWKLDQVWKDWDOOWKLQJV
are yours. Your wealth is inestimable. Then it says we’re
supposed to preach this to all people: “You’ve got wealth
untold; rise up, the world is yours.” Hallelujah!
It doesn't matter what country you’re from; this is
your heritage in Christ. Have the mentality of someone
who’s been born into superabundance; unlimited wealth
DQGSURVSHULW\,WPDNHVQRGLႇHUHQFHWKDWVRPHPD\WU\
to cheat you or steal from you; nothing can deplete or
diminish your wealth. How much water could anyone steal
from an ocean?
Not enough could be taken away from you to get you
broke. That's why Jesus said if your neighbour lends from
you and doesn't repay, don't get angry and go after them;
why? You have exhaustless, incalculable riches in Christ.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m forever grateful for the unsearchable
riches I have in Christ Jesus. I choose to live in this
reality, walking in superabundance. Thank you for your
divine power that’s given me all things that pertain to life
and godliness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE’S ABOVE ALL
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18).

T he word translated “power” above is the Greek


“Exousia” which means authority. In this pivotal
VWDWHPHQW WKH /RUG DႈUPHG +LV GRPLQLRQ QRW RQO\ LQ
heaven but also in the earth.
Since Jesus wields all authority in the earth, that
automatically means the nations of the world, which are in
the earth, are all under His authority. No wonder the Bible
says Jesus is seated in the heavenly realms, “high above
all other government and authority and power and
dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in
this Age or in the Age to come” (Ephesians 1:21 WNT).
Guess what? His authority over all things is for our
EHQH¿W “…Christ rules over all forces, authorities,
powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this
world and will rule in the future world as well. God
has put all things under the power of Christ, and for
the good of the church he has made him the head of
everything” (Ephesians 1:21-22 CEV). This is so sublime.
Right after He declared in Matthew 28:18 that all
56
authority was given to Him in heaven and in the earth, He
charged us in the very next verse to “Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations....” He sent us on the basis of His
authority to take His message to the nations—to every
man’s world.
Can you see why government after government,
kingdom after kingdom, tyrants, despots and dictators have
tried throughout the age to annihilate the Church but failed?
Can you see why nothing, no one, no force or entity would
ever be able to destroy the Church? It's because there’s
only One who has authority over all things in heaven and
in the earth; His Name is Jesus. He rules over all. He’s
“in charge of running the universe, everything from
galaxies to governments, no name and no power
exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being,
EXWIRUHYHU+HLVLQFKDUJHRILWDOOKDVWKH¿QDOZRUG
on everything...” (Ephesians 1:21-22 MSG). Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
The Lord Jesus reigns and rules over all things; over all
forces, authorities, powers and rulers. He rules over all
beings in this world and in the world to come and I’m one
with Him. I’m His seed, prolonging His days. Hallelujah!

So then because thou art lukewarm, and

The Lord Jesus was talking to Christians who had become

In Matthew 25, Jesus told a parable about a servant who

Jesus began the parable by saying, “For the kingdom

THE VOICE OF WISDOM

...blessed is she that believed, for there


shall be a performance of those things
which were told her from the Lord
(Luke 1:45).

T alking about wisdom in Proverbs 4:8, the Bible tells


us, “Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she
shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace
her.” God's Word is God's wisdom. When the Word of God
is shared with you from the Scriptures, it’s Wisdom that’s
speaking to you and addressing you at that moment.
Wisdom, as the Scriptures tell us, cries out in the
streets, yet many ignore her voice (Proverbs 1:20-25).
That’s why there’re many in the world today who are poor;
for Wisdom says, "Riches and honour are with me; yea,
durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better
WKDQJROG\HDWKDQ¿QHJROGDQGP\UHYHQXHWKDQ
choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in
the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause
WKRVHWKDWORYHPHWRLQKHULWVXEVWDQFHDQG,ZLOO¿OO
their treasures." (Proverbs 8:18-21).
This should make you give more attention to the
60
Word—the Wisdom of God. Let the Word of God dwell
in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16). Riches and
honour—durable riches and righteousness—are in the
Word of God (the Wisdom of God). So always act on the
Word.
Become wisdom-conscious and He’ll show you visions
of the steps you should take to multiply your resources.
Wisdom will make you creative and innovative. That’s
what the Bible says: “I wisdom dwell with prudence,
DQG¿QGRXWNQRZOHGJHRIZLWW\LQYHQWLRQV (Proverbs
8:12). Blessed be God!
Also, learn to speak wisdom. The Bible says, “Howbeit
we speak wisdom among them that are perfect…” (1
Corinthians 2:6). Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word,
speaking in agreement with God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word which is ever
dependable and ever sure. Even now, your Word prevails
in me, producing fruits of the message therein. I win
today, and every day, by your wisdom, and I live in your
glory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

say, There is lifting up; and he shall save
the humble person (Job 22:29).

T hese days, it’s not uncommon to hear statements


like “I don’t know what’s going on; things are going
bad everywhere. People are generally discouraged.” Don’t
join the bandwagon to talk like that. You’re a child of God;
\RXUOLIHLVGLႇHUHQW<RXSOD\E\DGLႇHUHQWVHWRIUXOHV
Always remember that.
The Bible says “When men are cast down, then thou
shalt say, There is lifting up….” Did you notice that God
tells us how we should respond when there’s distress and
gloom and men are cast down? He tells you what to say:
“There’s lifting up!” There’s lifting power in you; power to
rise over and above the crises of life. So, instead of joining
the complainers, you ought to declare: “There’s lifting up
for me!” Glory to God.
When you say, “There’s lifting up,” what does it actually
mean? It means to raise from a lower to a higher position,
to elevate, to raise in rank or condition. It also means to put
an end to a blockage or siege by withdrawing or causing the
withdrawal of invading forces. It means to revoke, rescind,
OLIWDQHPEDUJRWRSD\RႇDQREOLJDWLRQ
There’s a lifting for you by the miracle power of God.

Is there something that’s been weighing you down?
Or is it a raise or promotion you’re expecting at work? The
Bible says “For promotion cometh neither from the
east, nor from the west, nor from the south” (Psalm
75:6). That means it comes from God. Just know that
there’s going to be a “lift.” Glory to God!
Maybe you made a mistake that landed you in the
position you’re in today, and you’re wishing you did things
GLႇHUHQWO\:HOOWKH/RUGLV\RXUULGGDQFH6HW\RXUJD]H
on Him; don’t look at the problems that may be before you.
Set your gaze on high, on the Master. He’ll lift you out of
that trouble. The Bible says, “He raises the poor from
the dust, and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To
set them among princes, and make them inherit the
throne of glory...” (1 Samuel 2:8 NKJV). Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the assurance of your lifting
power in my life. I refuse to be discouraged by the
challenges around me. Instead, I declare that I’m making
progress, prospering and waxing great in every area
of my life! The greater One lives in me, and He’s made

sickness, disease and the devil. I’m a victor in Christ
Jesus. Hallelujah!

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
JESUS CHRIST
For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

I love what Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9, referring to


the supremacy and sublimity of the righteousness
which is by faith in Jesus Christ. He said, “…that I may
win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which
is of God by faith.”
When you confessed the Lordship of Jesus over
your life, His righteousness was imparted to you. The
righteousness of Christ is perfect righteousness; it can’t
be improved upon as you can’t improve on perfect.
Nothing you do today will make you more righteous or less
righteous before God. When God looks at you, He sees
the righteousness of Christ.
Jesus was righteous before God, and He was the

in your behalf. Thus, you’re no longer living by your own
righteousness; you're living by the righteousness of Jesus
Christ.

faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ.” 7REH³MXVWL¿HG´PHDQV\RX¶UHDFTXLWWHGE\\RXU
faith in Christ Jesus; you’re declared righteous as though
you never sinned. Now you have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sadly, there’re Christians who are still struggling to
be righteous. But we couldn’t attain righteousness by
ourselves; that’s why He gave us His own righteousness.
You’re as righteous as Jesus is righteous, because He
substituted His righteousness for your sin-nature when you
confessed His Lordship over your life. What an amazing
reality! Praise God.
CONFESSION
I’ve received abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness to reign in life by one, Jesus Christ! The
ability to be right, to do right, and to produce fruits and
works of righteousness is inherent in my spirit. I’m
living by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. I can stand

righteousness and true holiness. Hallelujah!

BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED AND ALERT

For to be carnally minded is death; but


to be spiritually minded is life and peace
(Romans 8:6).

A s Christians, we must be spiritually minded and


alert at all times because we’re soldiers in God’s
army, engaged in spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6:12 says,
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.”
Then 2 Corinthians 10:4 tells us about our weapons in
this ongoing warfare: “For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds.” Although the war is always on,
we’re not told exactly when each battle will occur, but God
wants us prepared all the time. He tells us about the "...
evil day..." (Ephesians 6:13).
7KH³HYLOGD\´VLJQL¿HVEDWWOHGD\V$EDWWOHLVWKHDFWXDO
¿JKWRIDZDU+HQFHZHPXVWEHEDWWOHUHDG\E\EHLQJ
spiritually minded, being acutely sensitive to the Spirit and
66
attuned to His signals. We have an adversary that we’re
up against—Satan. He doesn’t just go to sleep.
1 Peter 5:8-9 says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist
stedfast in the faith….” Ephesians 6:10-11 says, “…be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.”
You have dominion and authority over principalities,
powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Use the
spiritual weapons listed in Ephesians 6:14-18 to frustrate
their stratagems and wiles, and foil all their evil works.
Hallelujah!

MONDAY 29
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR HIM
And there shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring; Men's hearts failing them for
fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken
(Luke 21:25-26).

T here’re so many signs that indicate where we are


now and how much longer the world has before the
judgments of the nations begin. Therefore, no matter where
you are today, I want you to know Jesus is coming soon.
There’re those who believe it and are waiting for Him.
There’re others who don't think He's coming and so they're
not expecting Him. But He's coming, so prepare yourself for
Him. He’s coming for those “...that love his appearing”
(2 Timothy 4:8); those who are prepared for Him.
The Bible says blessed are those who are waiting for
His return (Luke 12:37). So live your life as though it could
be any minute. 1 Corinthians 15:52 says, “In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Remember, it's almost two thousand years since Jesus
70
levitated and ascended from this world. The words of the
SURSKHWVDERXW+LVFRPLQJDUHDOOEHLQJIXO¿OOHGEHIRUHRXU
eyes. He said by Himself, “…Surely I come quickly…”
(Revelation 22:20).
Statistics show that today’s world is marked by such
deliberate cruelty, violence, terrorism, viciousness and
inhumanity beyond what humanity has ever seen. The
pressures of life are greater today than ever before.
Therefore, don’t be caught unawares. Stay in Christ, in
righteousness, and keep living for Him. Light up your world
with the Gospel. The Bible says in Philippians 2:15-16 “…
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of
God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in
the world; Holding forth the word of life….” Take this
seriously.
Give your time, resources and energy to the preaching
of the Gospel until it reaches the ends of the earth! Prepare
yourself and prepare others for the soon coming of the
Lord.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing and ministry of
WKH+RO\6SLULWLQP\OLIHZKRKDVVDQFWL¿HGPHIRU\RXU
glory and keeps me in the path of righteousness. Thank
you for the privilege of preaching and proclaiming the
Gospel, turning many to righteousness, preparing them
for your soon return, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SPEAK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE
We having the same spirit of faith,
according as it is written, I believed, and
therefore have I spoken; we also believe,
and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13).

I t’s so important that you always make faith


declarations about your life. Every day, declare that
your life is excellent and full of glory; say it because you
believe it. Declare that you live free of sickness, disease,
LQ¿UPLWLHVDQG\RXOLYHSURVSHURXVO\LQ&KULVW-HVXV,I\RX
don’t say it, you can’t have it.
6LFNQHVVZLOOFRPHWR\RXLI\RXGRQ¶WFRQWLQXDOO\DႈUP
that you live in health. It’s like the farmer who doesn’t plant
WKHULJKWVHHGVLQKLV¿HOGWKHZURQJRQHVZLOOJURZXS
So always proclaim divine health. Refuse arthritis, stroke,
chest pains, migraine headaches, diabetes, heart trouble,
EORRGLQIHFWLRQHWFGHFODUHWKDWWKHVHRUDQ\RWKHULQ¿UPLW\
have no place in your body. Glory to God!
God already gave you the transcendent life; the life
of absolute mastery and dominion. He already made you
victorious. He said to Abraham, “...I have made you a father
of many nations...” (Romans 4:17 NKJV). He didn’t say, “I
shall make you…”; He calls things that be not as though
they were. The same God is saying to you even now, “I
72
have made you a success. I have made you healthy and
strong. I have made you prosperous. I have made you a
king-priest.”
Therefore, align yourself with His truth and call yourself
what He’s called you; speak the same things in agreement
with Him. That’s how it works. That was what Abraham
did. The Bible says against hope, he believed in hope.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief,
but was strong in faith, giving glory to God (read Romans
4:18-20).
Recall that God had changed his name from Abram,
“assumed father,” to Abraham, “father of many.” Abraham
believed and called himself what God had called him. He
introduced himself to others as the father of many. He
believed, therefore he spoke, and his faith declaration
catapulted him to possession—it created Isaac. Blessed
be God!

CONFESSION
My life is excellent and full of glory; I walk in absolute
mastery, victory, safety, wellness, wholeness and divine
health because I’m in Christ and Christ is my life!
His wisdom, righteousness, peace, glory and joy are
expressed through me, and my faith in the Word is the
victory that overcomes the world.

WEDNESDAY 31
WE REIGN WITH WORDS
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at
my right hand, until I make thine enemies
thy footstool. The Lord shall send the
rod of thy strength out of Zion; rule thou
in the midst of thine enemies…
(Psalm 110:1-2).

T he Hebrew word translated "rule" in the opening


scripture is "Radah," which is essentially
synonymous with "reign." To rule means to exercise
dominion and kingly authority. What we read in our opening
verses is about Jesus in heaven at the time in which He
is the High Priest.
That portion unveils some amazing descriptions of His
authority. For example, the phrase "the rod of thy strength"
essentially means the sceptre of His power. It's akin to what
we have in Psalm 45:6 (NIV): "Your throne, O God, will
last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the
scepter of your kingdom."
Hebrews 1:8 also alludes to the same truth concerning
Jesus. It says, "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne,
O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness
is the sceptre of thy kingdom." This unfolds while He is
seated on the throne. How does this apply to us, the new
74
creation in Christ? Revelation 5:10 reveals it. It says, “And
hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth.”
How do kings reign? Kings reign with words. The
FUHDWLRQVWRU\LQ*HQHVLVFKDSWHURQHFRQ¿UPVWKLV*RG
spoke creation into existence. He accomplished everything
through the spoken Word. He simply spoke, and things
came into existence.
When Jesus walked the earth, He spoke words. He
transformed lives and performed miracles with words.
When He spoke to corpses, they came back to life. His
words transmitted and imparted life. We’re just like Him.
Our words do the same, because as He is, so are we in
this world (1 John 4:17).
Reign with words. Rule in the midst of your enemies
by exercising your divine authority through words.

CONFESSION
I take my place of dominion and I reign in the Name of
Jesus over circumstances through words. The words
that I speak are potent, laden with the Spirit’s power to
produce fruits. I speak peace, prosperity, wellness and
wholeness into the nations of the world and I declare that
salvation spreads quickly into places where the light of
the Gospel has been dim, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THURSDAY 1
A LIFE OF THANKSGIVING
Giving thanks unto the Father, which
hath made us meet to be partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in light
(Colossians 1:12).

D id you know that living a life of thanksgiving is one


of the ways to keep yourself in perfect health?
There’re those who believe that nobody can be perfectly
healthy, and they’re wrong; perfect health is the right of
every Christian. That’s what the Bible teaches.
Notice what we read in our opening verse: “Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to
be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”
He wants your life to be a life of thanksgiving always,
EHFDXVHWKH)DWKHUKDVTXDOL¿HG\RXWREHDSDUWDNHURI
the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of light.
Part of that inheritance is the divine life which comes
with divine health. Divine health has been granted you in
Christ Jesus and He wants you to maintain it through a
life of thanksgiving. So, every day and every month of this
6
year, live the life of thanksgiving; constantly give thanks
for all things. It’ll keep you in health always. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I live a life of thanksgiving, manifesting the virtues and
perfections of Christ’s righteousness, walking in the
glory and dominion of the Spirit. I walk in health and
prosperity, with victory over Satan, the world and its
systems, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FRIDAY 2
AN EXCELLENT LIFE
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord
unto all pleasing, being fruitful in
every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).

T here’s so much to learn from this prayer of the Spirit


through the Apostle Paul. It gives us an idea of a
true and balanced Christian life—an excellent life. It says
that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God.
That's extraordinary; it reveals God’s will for you as a
Christian. He wants your daily life to be worthy of Him—
walking in His righteousness and pleasing Him in all things.
Jesus always pleased the Father; He said in John 8:29,
“And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not
left me alone; for I do always those things that please
him.”
It should be your life’s work to always and only do those
things that please the Father. Along with this, he says,
“being fruitful in every good work.” Think about the kind of
life where you’re fruitful in every good work. That’s what
we have in Christ Jesus—an excellent life. It reminds of the
8
words of the Psalmist in Psalm 1:3: “...he shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth
his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
That’s not all; as you’re walking worthy of the Lord,
pleasing Him in all things and fruitful in every good work,
He also wants you to increase in the knowledge of God.
There’re people who, even though are doing well in their
work, aren't increasing in the knowledge of God. No! He
wants your life to be balanced.
Don’t let it be that your job or business distracted you
from giving time to prayer, studying the Scriptures, and
growing in the things of God. A true and balanced Christian
life is walking in righteousness, pleasing the Lord in all
things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing
in the knowledge of God. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me an excellent and
balanced life. By your Spirit, I live and conduct myself in
a manner worthy of you, fully pleasing you in all things,
bearing fruits of righteousness and steadily growing
and increasing in and by the knowledge of your Word,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PRODUCE VICTORY IN
EVERY SITUATION
But thanks be to God, which giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).

It’s still very early in the year, and it’s important


to be decisive as to how you’re going to live. Be
determined that you’re going to win every day; you’re
going to put the Word to work and there’ll be no limit to
your success.
Jesus said in Mark 11:23, “For verily I say unto you,
That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not
doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.”
Then in Matthew 17:20, He said, “…If ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
This means that with your faith, you can be anything, you
can have anything, and you can do anything. You have
10
LQ¿QLWHSRVVLELOLWLHV
The question is, are you putting your faith to work?
Use your faith to deal with the crises of life every day.
Act on the Word. James 1:22 says, “But be ye doers of
the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves.” So produce victories and triumphs in all situations
and circumstances by acting on the Word. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word and its power to
produce in and for me what it talks about. I take charge
of my life, growing my faith through the Word and
strengthening it by use. I thus produce victories and
triumphs in all situations and circumstances, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

forward. Progress must be measurable; otherwise, it’s
not progress. You must have goals; if you don’t have
GH¿QLWHJRDOV\RXPD\QRWEHDEOHWRUHDOO\PHDVXUH\RXU
progress.
In making progress, there’re certain things you must
consider. First, locate your present position in any area of
your life in which you desire to make progress. Is it in the
DUHD RI \RXU KHDOWK ¿QDQFHV MRE EXVLQHVV RU IDPLO\"
Whatever it is, locate your present position. Secondly,

12

nothing.
You should already have clear-cut goals for the year;
stay focused on your goals. Every now and then, pray in the
Holy Ghost about your goals; this is so important because
it’ll guarantee your progress in achieving your goals. Our
opening verse says, “But you, beloved, build yourselves
up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress,
ULVHOLNHDQHGL¿FHKLJKHUDQGKLJKHU@SUD\LQJLQWKH
Holy Spirit.”
This year, you’re going to make progress and move
forward in your life like never before, irrespective of what’s
been happening with you or around you. The Spirit of God
will inspire and guide you to take the necessary actions
that’ll cause you to have evident and unprecedented
growth, increase, and prosperity in Jesus’ Name.

CONFESSION
I’m fruitful and productive, making progress in every
area of my life. I’m complete in Christ and every facet of
my life is perfected for excellence. The Spirit guides and
inspires me to take actions that’ll guarantee evident and
unstoppable progress, increase and blessings for me,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all

every creature. He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned
(Mark 16:15-16).

all mankind.” 'DYLG¶VSURSKHWLFGHVLUHLVWRGD\IXO¿OOHGLQ
the words of the Master that we read in our opening verse.
He’s charged us to go into all the world and preach the
Gospel to every creature; tell the Gospel story everywhere.
,QWHQVLI\\RXUHႇRUWVLQUHDFKLQJWKHORVWLQWHOOLQJWKH
untold about Christ and His eternal plan of salvation for all
mankind. Only through Him can men be saved and brought
into God’s class of being and realm of life.
Until and unless a man is born again, his life will be
empty and meaningless. But in Christ Jesus, anyone who
believes is brought into oneness with God, into a life that’s
beyond the earthly plane, where you’re not limited by any
14
factor or the elements of this world. You become a partaker
of the divine nature, no longer subject to sin, sickness,
disease and death, because you received the God-life.
That’s the message He wants us to herald to the
world. Tell it everywhere that Jesus came, lived, died and
resurrected so that we may have His life, and also be the
dispensers of that life. Tell the nations and the farthest
islands that He lives, and the life He brought is available
to everyone: “… and this life is in his Son. He that hath
the Son hath life…” (1 John 5:11-12).
Be strengthened in your spirit, and propelled to tell the
world that the Lord Jesus has brought life and immortality
to light through the Gospel. Anyone who’s born again
receives the same life with Him. Glorious news! Let’s tell
it everywhere. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for the glorious light of the Gospel
that shines into the hearts of sinners all over the world
today, turning them from darkness to light, to experience
the full blessings of their salvation in Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

TUESDAY 6
YOU’VE BEEN RELOCATED

Giving thanks unto the Father…Who


hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son
(Colossians 1:12-13).

In some parts of the world, people desire to “relocate,”


maybe to some other country or city where they
believe they might have better opportunities. When you
received Christ as Lord of your life, you were relocated to
the best and most glorious place possible: the Kingdom
of God’s Love-Son.
Read the second part of our theme verse again; it says,
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us (that means transferred or
relocated us) into the Kingdom of His dear Son" This
means that you’re currently located in the Kingdom of
God’s Love-Son where you prosper and all your needs
are met. That’s where you are NOW.
It's got to be your consciousness that you’re a
Kingdom person, and you live the life of the Kingdom.
That way, you’ll enjoy the blessings and privileges of the
Kingdom. In this Kingdom where you live, there’s no lack
or want; only surplus and abundance. David said in Psalm
23:5, “...My cup runneth over.” That’s superabundance.
16
Hallelujah!
Here's another thought: your divine relocation was
out of the domain—jurisdiction—of darkness, into God’s
marvellous light: “But ye are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”
(1 Peter 2:9). Blessed be God!
Satan, or darkness, has no control or jurisdiction over
\RX\RX¶UHQRWXQGHUWKHLULQÀXHQFH<RX¶UHLQ&KULVWLQ
His glorious Kingdom, and in Him there’s no darkness at
all (1 John 1:5).
So enjoy your place in Christ. Enjoy the life of
righteousness, dominion, victory, glory and joy in the Holy
Ghost. That’s the life of the Kingdom into which you’ve
been relocated: “For the kingdom of God is not meat
and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17). Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I rejoice in Christ. I’m not under the influence or
jurisdiction of Satan; I was born into God’s Kingdom
of light, to show forth His wonderful deeds and display
the virtues and perfections of the Kingdom of God.
Hallelujah!

TICKET TO EVERY BLESSING
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever

will give it you (John 16:23).

D id you know that the Name of Jesus is your ticket


to every blessing? It represents more than you
could ever imagine or desire. Ponder a bit more on what we

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
According as his divine power hath given
unto us all things that pertain unto life
and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue (2 Peter 1:3).

H ave you ever pondered on the fact that God is


greater than everything He made? He sure is.
Now, this same God, not only did He give you all things,
not only has He blessed you with ALL spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ, He also gave you Himself.
Nothing could be greater. That’s the meaning of Christ in
you.
The Bible says “To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”
(Colossians 1:27). Christ in you is everything. Christ in you
is God in you. Hallelujah! The implication of our position in
Him and our oneness with Him is that we use His Name,
we have His Name, and we live in His Name. His Name
has exactly the same power that He has as a person. His
22
Name represents everything that He is. And that Name
has been given to you.
Christians who don’t understand this are the ones who
pray, “O God! Please help me with this or that; give me
this or give me that.” Praying like that is pointless because
He gave you His Name, and you’re a joint-heir with Him,
meaning you own the world with Him.
As read in our theme verse, He gave you everything.
Luke 12:32 says, ³)HDU QRW OLWWOH ÀRFN IRU LW LV \RXU
Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom”; and
He’s done it! He’s given you the Kingdom. There’s nothing
of Him that you don’t have; nothing He hasn’t given you.
He gave you His life, His Name, and His wealth, and
you’re seated together with Him in the heavenly realms.
What more do you want? Take your place of dominion,
reigning and ruling with Him. Amen.

CONFESSION
I’m what God says I am, I have all He says I have, and I can
do all things in His Name. All things are possible to me
because I believe. I’m rich in all things, having inherited
all things, for I’m a joint-heir with Christ! Praise God!

THE BLESSINGS ARE IN CHRIST
Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

D id you know that it’s pointless to ask God for


any more blessings? The Word says He has
blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places.
Prosperity is a blessing. Divine health is a blessing. Joy is
a blessing. Strength is a blessing. Success is a blessing.
All these and more are already yours in Christ Jesus.
The Bible says God is a Spirit; therefore, all the
blessings He has must be spiritual. The material world
came out of the spirit realm. So, when God says we
have been blessed with all spiritual blessings, it means
every physical blessing you can imagine is already yours
because spiritual blessings are greater than material
blessings; the lesser is included in the greater.
So, whatever you would have asked of God is included
in what He's already blessed you with because He blessed
24
you with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. Think
about that! God doesn't have any more blessings except
the ones He blessed you with. He's blessed you with all
that He's got. Blessed be God!
But the key is that you’ve got to be in Christ; the
blessings are in Christ and for those in Christ. And thank
God you’re in Christ for in Him you have EVERYTHING—
you have all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter
1:3). In Christ, all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). In
Christ, your glory life is guaranteed. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I’m in Christ, where I’m blessed with all spiritual
blessings in the heavenly places. In me abides all the
grace, wisdom, prosperity, strength and courage I need
WRIXO¿OP\JORULRXVGHVWLQ\LQ&KULVW,KDYHHYHU\WKLQJ

FOCUS AND MEDITATE ON THE WORD
But we all, with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory
to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord
(2 Corinthians 3:18).

N ever be deterred by the adversities you face.


There’re no circumstances or situations in life that
are set to your disadvantage. Even when things appear
to become hard and there’s pressure on every side, don’t
despair; look at the Word. Keep your focus and meditation
on the Word.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says,³)RURXUOLJKWD௼LFWLRQ
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look
not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen
are temporal; but the things which are not seen are
eternal.”
Recall what we read in our theme verse; as you behold
the glory of God in a mirror, which is the Word of God,

been; you’re a victor forever because the greater One
lives in you. The Bible says, “...Christ in you, the hope
of glory” (Colossians 1:27). That means there’s glory in
your life, and it’s an eternal glory that’s ever-increasing
as you meditate on God’s truths: who you are and your
inheritance in Him.
You’re a success. You’re in prosperity, health, peace
and safety. He’s given you an extraordinary life of ever-
increasing progress and greatness, to express the glory
and righteousness of His glorious Kingdom. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I continually fix my gaze on Christ and His eternal
Word; therefore, I walk in and manifest the glory of God
everyday, everywhere. The Word is fully expressed in
and through me. I’m a success. My life is for the glory
of God because I keep my focus and meditation on the
Word of God!

ALL THINGS ARE UNDER YOUR FEET

I pray that you will begin to understand


the incredible greatness of his power
for us who believe him. This is the same
mighty power that raised Christ from
the dead and seated him in the place of
honor at God's right hand in the heavenly
realms. Now he is far above any ruler or
authority or power or leader or anything
else in this world or in the world to come.
And God has put all things under the
authority of Christ, and he gave him this
DXWKRULW\ IRU WKH EHQH¿W RI WKH FKXUFK
(Ephesians 1:19-22 NLT).

T he Lord Jesus is set far above “all principality, and


power, and might, and dominion, and every name
that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which
is to come.” This is extraordinary. Then in the concluding
part, it says God put ALL things under the feet of Jesus
IRUWKHEHQH¿WRIWKH&KXUFK
There’s nothing God didn’t put under the feet of Jesus.
No wonder the Bible says nothing is exempt from His
rule. There’s only One who has authority over all things
in heaven and in the earth; He rules over all. His name is
Jesus.
28
The Message translation says He’s “…in charge
of running the universe, everything from galaxies to
governments, no name and no power exempt from his
rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He

(Ephesians 1:21). When it says “all things,” that includes

of the Church. The Lord Jesus is the head of the Body, the
Church. That means all things are therefore under the feet
of the Church. Can you see why you must live as a victor
every day of your life?
All things are under your feet, including Satan and his
cohorts of darkness. Death, hell, the world, circumstances,
living and non-living things are under your dominion.

WHAT’S REVEALED IN YOU?
To whom God would make known what
is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

A s a new creation in Christ, you only have one


nature—the Christ-nature. Your recreated human
spirit is made in the image and likeness of Christ. Therefore,
in all you do, and at all times, live your Christ-nature.
When you talk, let Christ be heard. Let His love emit
DQGHႇXVHIURP\RXUZRUGVDQGDFWLRQV/HW+LVZLVGRP
and righteousness overwhelm the hearts of your hearers
as you speak only gracious and lifting words; let Him talk
through you. Let Him see through your eyes. Let Him work
with your hands.
The real essence of Christianity is Christ in you,
manifesting and expressing Himself in and through
you. The Christian is one who expresses, exudes and
demonstrates the life, nature, character and righteousness
of Christ.
For example, in times of provocations, when you’re

among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth
(John 1:14).

O ur opening verse refers to Jesus, the incarnate


Word; they beheld His glory as He walked the
streets until He was slain. But God raised Him up and
showed Him openly to be alive with many infallible proofs.
Now, He abides in you. Praise God!
They waited for the Word and expected His glory that
the prophets spoke about. But then the Word came, born
of a virgin and walked this earth, yet many didn’t recognize
Him. He asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I the
Son of man am?”
Sadly, they didn’t know Him. But Peter, by revelation,
spoke up and said, “...Thou art the Christ, the Son of
the living God” (Matthew 16:16). John calls Him, “the
:RUGPDGHÀHVK´+HJLYHVXVWKHDFWXDORULJLQRIWKHPDQ
Christ Jesus: He’s the Word that pre-existed creation and
by whom all things were created (John 1:1-3).
It was thus a pure marvel to see the eternal Word of
32
God, born of a virgin and wrapped in swaddling clothes,
grow and walk amongst men! No wonder they called Him
“Emmanuel,” 'God with us' (Matthew 1:23). He was born
“Emmanuel,” but today, He’s the Word alive in you.
Every step Jesus took was the Word of God in motion.

being born of the same Word of God: “Being born again,
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1
Peter 1:23).
So, like Jesus, you’re the Word in motion, for as He is,
so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Now you understand
why we’re called the Epistle (Word) of Christ (2 Corinthians

Dear Father, I thank you for the extraordinary life I
received when I believed and received the Word. Now,
I’m the reproduction of the Word; Christ Jesus, the living
Word, lives in and through me! My life is the expression
of your will, thoughts, ideas and opinions. Blessed be

YIELD TO THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD

All scripture is given by inspiration of


*RGDQGLVSUR¿WDEOHIRUGRFWULQHIRU
reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may
be perfect, throughly furnished unto all
good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

M any people desire the leading of the Holy Spirit in


their lives but don’t know how to yield themselves
to Him. Do we yield ourselves by bowing our heads and
kneeling before Him? You may bow to Him physically in
reverence, but this won’t give the guidance and leading
you desire.
In yielding to the Holy Spirit, you must submit to His
Word. You give yourself to what He tells you to do and let
the Word of God live through you. The Holy Spirit is the
author of the Scriptures, and the primary way He leads is
through the Word.
God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6). He however recommends
that you “Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
34
dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
As you study the Word, the leading of the Holy Spirit
in your life will increase, for you’ll be able to recognize
His voice. The Word of God and the Spirit of God bear
witness to Jesus as the Living Word. He said, “Search
the scriptures…they are they which testify of me"
(John 5:39).
He also said, “But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he
shall testify of me” (John 15:26). The more you let the
Word of God dominate your mind, your decisions and your
outlook on life, the more the Holy Spirit controls your life
and leads you from victory to victory. Even now, declare
that God’s Word has power over your life, to lead you,
control you and guide you in all that you do.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the inner counsel I receive
daily from your Spirit as I study your Word. I open my
spirit to be more receptive to your divine guidance always
so that I may be fully acquainted with your thoughts,
plans and purpose for my life, and walk in them, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

FOLLOW HIS COUNSEL AND
YOU’LL ALWAYS WIN
Now when they had gone throughout
Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and
were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to
preach the word in Asia, After they were
come to Mysia, they assayed to go into
%LWK\QLDEXWWKH6SLULWVX௺HUHGWKHPQRW
(Acts 16:6-7).

P aul and his companions decided to go to certain


regions to preach the Gospel, but the Holy Spirit
prevented them from going at that time. How did they
know it was the Holy Spirit who didn’t want them to go?
They were so acquainted and yielded to Him that they
could recognize His voice. As a result, the Spirit led and
instructed them to go to Macedonia instead, to preach
(Acts 16:8-9). Hallelujah!
The Holy Spirit has a voice, and He speaks to you from
the Word. Whenever He speaks, He speaks wisdom, for
the Word of God is the Wisdom of God! That’s why it’s so
important for you to learn and know God’s Word. He never
says anything outside the Word. Whatever He tells you is
always in sync with the written Word and consistent with
38
God’s will for your life.
John 16:13 says, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things
to come.” If you’re acquainted with the Word, you’ll know
whenever the Holy Spirit talks to you, for He bears witness
to the Scriptures.
When He tells you to do anything, don’t question it. You
can’t follow His leading and lose. He’ll lead and guide you
from success to success, and from glory to glory.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who has come
to live in me, and guides me in the path of your perfect will.
My life is an unending stream of the miraculous because
I’m totally yielded to His guidance and promptings from
within, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

ACUTELY PERCEPTIVE BY THE WORD

This book of the law shall not depart out


of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success (Joshua 1:8).

I n 1 Timothy 4:15, Paul said to Timothy, “Meditate


upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
WKDWWK\SUR¿WLQJPD\DSSHDUWRDOO´When you study
our opening verse in the Greek Septuagint, it actually says
that not only will you have good success from meditating on
the Word, you’ll also become perceptive. The Greek word
is “suniami” and it means that you become sagacious or
perspicacious; your intelligence rises to a very high level.
<RX¶OO¿QGWKDW\RX¶UHDFXWHO\LQVLJKWIXODQGSHQHWUDWLQJO\
perceptive.
It reminds of what the Bible says in Psalm 119:98-99,
“Thou through thy commandments hast made me
wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for
thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more
than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” He’s
talking about the Word of God.
You might as well say, “Thou, through thy Word, hast
40
made me wiser than mine enemies….” That becomes your
confession. The Word of God gives you the perception, the
wisdom, and the ability to put ideas and concepts together.
Notice the latter part: “...I have more understanding
than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my
meditation....”
God’s testimonies refer to God’s declarations, His
declarations about Himself, about us, about His Kingdom
etc. These are His testimonies, and because you meditated
upon His testimonies you have more understanding than
all your teachers. Glory to God.
In verse 100, it says, “I understand more than the
ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” This is part of
what the Word of God will do in your life if you’d give it
attention. In your dealings with people, in your dealings in
EXVLQHVVLQ\RXUGHDOLQJVLQ¿QDQFHV\RXEHFRPHZLVH
divinely circumspect.
That means no room for failure in your life because the
Spirit of God, through the Word, gives you an extraordinary
amplitude of mind. Praise God!

FOCUS ON THE LIFE HEREAFTER
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:

were passed away; and there was no
more sea (Revelation 21:1).

In Revelation 21, the Apostle John tells us about


a new heaven and a new earth. He gives us a
description of the holy city, the New Jerusalem: “And I
John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be
their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:2-4).
Verses 18-19 further describe the beauty of the city.
Imagine a city of pure glass-gold! “And the building of
the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall
of the city were garnished with all manner of precious
42
stones….”
The 23rd and 25th verses take it even further: “And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon,
to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and
the Lamb is the light thereof. And the gates of it shall
not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night
there.” What a place to look forward to!
Your focus shouldn’t be on this current world that’ll be
destroyed. Rather, let your passion be all about Christ and
the spread of His righteousness around the world as we
await His glorious return.
Remember His words, ³)RU ZKDW VKDOO LW SUR¿W D

AND FOCUSSED
Of the increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end, upon the
throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to
order it, and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth even for
ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will
perform this (Isaiah 9:7).

O ur opening verse refers to the eternal reign and


dominion of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of
kings and Lord of lords. He’s also the one David prophesied
about in Psalm 72:8 when he talked about a king who
will rule over the nations of the world: “He shall have
dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto
the ends of the earth.”
Our Lord Jesus heads the Kingdom of God which we’re
a part of. It’s a real, functional spiritual kingdom. Therefore,
be Kingdom-conscious and focused. Don’t focus your mind
on this earth as though everything ends here; there’s a
world that’s greater than this.

EXWLQÀHVK\WDEOHVRIWKHKHDUW
(2 Corinthians 3:3).

S omething very important about the Kingdom of


God into which you’ve been born and of which
you’re a part is that it’s a kingdom run by words. So,
the words you speak are very important. They must be
consistent with the Word of God, and that way, your life,
which is the outward manifestation of your words, will be
excellent and full of glory.

knowledge of God’s Word because out of that abundance,
our words will come forth. Remember what the Bible says
in Proverbs 6:2, “Thou art snared with the words of thy
mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.”
Many today are trapped, struggling to come out of one
predicament or the other, which they may have created
through their own words.

KEEP YOUR FAITH ACTIVE
But without faith it is impossible to
please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him
(Hebrews 11:6).

E verything in the Kingdom of God operates by


the principle of faith. So nurturing your faith is
so important. Even for the Rapture, your faith would be
required because not everyone will hear the sound of the
trumpet.
The Bible says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:52). The sound of
the trumpet will be audible only to the Christians who died
in Christ already and those alive at the time.
Everybody else won’t hear it because the sound of the
trumpet would only be heard by faith. But it’s not something
\RX¶UH JRLQJ WR PDNH DQ HႇRUW WR KHDU EHFDXVH DV D
Christian, you already live by faith. Everything about your
48
life and your relationship with God is by faith; therefore,
you’re going to hear it.
The Bible says, “By faith Enoch was translated
that he should not see death; and was not found…”
(Hebrews 11:5). He was raptured by faith. So, with your
faith in Jesus Christ, you have nothing to worry about;
trust that when the trumpet sounds, you’re going to hear it.
Every Christian ought to go at the Rapture. It therefore
means that anyone who doesn’t hasn’t been living the life of
faith and living for the Lord. Keep your faith alive, and live
for the Master every day. Walk in love and in righteousness.
Focus on getting others ready for the Rapture and into the
Kingdom of God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for my faith in Jesus Christ
that’s unwavering and unshakable. I walk in the light of
your Word and of my salvation, passionate about the
expansion of your Kingdom in the earth, and the reign
of your righteousness in the hearts of men, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

HE CAME TO US IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also (John 14:3).

M any still grapple with what the Lord Jesus meant


in the verse above when He said, “...I will come
again, and receive you unto myself....” Some think He
was referring to the Second Coming or the Rapture, but
that’s not what He was talking about in that verse.
To understand what Jesus meant, you’ll have to stay in
the context and understand His message with your spirit,
not with your senses. When you study the full chapter you’d
observe that He continued the same interesting discourse
till He got to the 16th verse where He said, “And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever.”
The term “another Comforter” is the Greek phrase,
³$OORV SDUDNOƝWRV´ PHDQLQJ DQRWKHU RI WKH VDPH NLQG
Jesus introduced the Holy Spirit at that point. Then He
said, “…ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you” (John 14:17). How did the Holy Spirit
dwell with them at the time? Wasn’t He supposed to come
on the Day of Pentecost?
50
That tells us something. He wasn’t talking about the
Holy Spirit alone; He was also referring to Himself! To
drive that point home, He went back to what He said in
our theme verse, “...I will come again, and receive you
unto myself....” Then in verse 18, He said, “I will not
leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” How and
when would He come to them?
In the 20th verse, He said, “At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”
What day was He talking about? Evidently, He was talking
about the day when the Holy Spirit comes. So, when He
said, “I will come to you,” He meant “I’ll come to you in
the Holy Spirit.”
And thanks be unto God! On the Day of Pentecost, He

LIVE THE TRUTH AND LIVE IN TRUTH
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free (John 8:32).

W e were created by God’s Word, and His Word


is truth; that means we were created by truth.

health in your life because truth is your source. That’s
why falsehood, deceit, deception, lies and lying destroy
the human spirit.
Our theme verse says, “And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free,” because man was
created by God to be free, to be at liberty to serve Him; he
can’t be bound because truth is his true nature.
Before you were born again, you didn’t have the ability
to live the truth and live in truth because you were under
the dominion of sin. But now, the Bible says, “For sin shall
not have dominion over you…” (Romans 6:14).
You have the ability to do away with the habit of telling
lies. You don’t need to cry or even ask God to take it away
54
from you. Simply make up your mind to put away lying. The
Bible says, “If you want a happy, good life, keep control
of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies”
(1 Peter 3:10 TLB).
Proverbs 6:16-19 lists six things that the Lord detests
and one of them is “a false witness that speaketh lies.”
Truth is in your spirit, and whenever you live in truth,
you’re triumphant, and your spirit glows. It doesn’t matter

over because truth is eternal: “The lip of truth shall be
established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a
moment” (Proverbs 12:19). Praise God!

CONFESSION
God’s Word guides my thoughts, habits, character, and
ultimately builds my life. I have dominion over every
kind of sin. I live in truth because truth is my true nature.
Therefore, I’m triumphant over every situation, ever
glowing in the spirit. Praise God!

AMBASSADORS OF DIVINE VERITIES
And for me, that utterance may be given
unto me, that I may open my mouth
boldly, to make known the mystery of the
gospel, For which I am an ambassador in
bonds: that therein I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak (Ephesians 6:19-20).

I
n our opening verse, Paul referred to himself as an
ambassador of the Gospel. Did you know that the
same is true of every one of us? We’re ambassadors of
divine verities; we’re preachers of righteousness. The
preaching of the Gospel has been committed to you
according to the commandment of God our Saviour (Titus
1:2-3).
We’ve got to preach the Gospel; we’ve got to tell the
untold, or they’ll never have the chance to believe it and
be saved. Romans 10:13-14 says, “For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have
not believed? and how shall they…hear without a
preacher?”
This is why you must passionately preach the Gospel
every day and everywhere. The Apostle Paul took it
personally. He said, “According to the glorious gospel
56
of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust”
(1 Timothy 1:11). As far as he was concerned it behoved
him to preach the Gospel to the whole world even if he
had to do it alone.
Now you can understand why he said, “…necessity
is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not
the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). There’s no salvation
without the Gospel. Titus 1:2-3 tells us something beautiful;
it says, “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot
lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due
times manifested his word through preaching, which
is committed unto me according to the commandment
of God our Saviour.”
God promised eternal life before the world began,
DQGQRZ+HKDVIXO¿OOHG+LVSURPLVHDQGPDGHHWHUQDO
life available through the preaching of the Gospel. We’re
blessed to be the custodians and bearers of the divine
order. Make this your priority, as it’s all that truly matters.
Ensure the Gospel gets to as many as have been ordained

I’m vibrant and aglow in the spirit, serving the Lord as
an ambassador of Christ in the Gospel. Through me,
the Gospel is reaching many who have been ordained
for salvation; they’re transferred from darkness into the
glorious liberty of the sons of God. Hallelujah!

And we are his witnesses of these

him (Acts 5:32).

D id you know that God expects your friends and


colleagues, co-workers, business associates,
schoolmates, family members, co-tenants and all those He
ever connects you with who aren’t yet born again will get
to hear the Gospel through you for their salvation? They’re
all hanging on to the trust committed to you by God. He
holds you responsible as their witness.
You’re the witness to your generation. Therefore, be
committed to bringing salvation to those in your world.

“I am the vine; ye are the branches.”
You’re a fruit-bearing branch, bearing fruits of
righteousness and manifesting works of righteousness.
You carry the seeds of the Kingdom of God inside you.
That’s your number one ministry in life. Remember the

words of Jesus: ³%XWVHHN\H¿UVWWKHNLQJGRPRI*RG
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
Make the expansion of His Kingdom in the earth your
priority, and His glory will be manifested in and through you.
You have to come to the realization that the Gospel, the
same message that saved your life, has been committed
to your trust.
Paul knew it. Hence he declared in 1 Timothy 1:11,
“According to the glorious gospel of the blessed
God, which was committed to my trust.” Take personal

LIVE FOR CHRIST

For the love of Christ constraineth us;


because we thus judge, that if one died
for all, then were all dead
(2 Corinthians 5:14).

T here’re many who don’t understand the purpose


for life. So, they think a great life is when you’ve
amassed a lot of wealth or earthly possessions; no.
Jesus said in Luke 12:15, “…Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesseth.”
He also taught about a rich man who had such
a bountiful harvest that he needed to tear down his
storehouses and build new ones to store his crops. He
was excited to have laid up so much supplies for himself.
But while he was relishing the thought of all that he
had amassed, God came into his room and said, “...You
fool! This very night your life will be demanded from
you. Then who will get what you have prepared for
yourself?” (Luke 12:20 NIV).
What’s the purpose for your life in this world? Why are
you here? It’s to make sure the Gospel of Jesus Christ
60
goes to the ends of the earth. Our Lord Jesus said, “...Go
ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every
creature” (Mark 16:15). In Matthew 28:19, He said, “Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations….”
Personalize your role in the Gospel and say like the
Apostle Paul, “According to the glorious gospel of the
blessed God, which was committed to my trust" (1
Timothy 1:11). Recall what the Lord said to him in Acts
26:16, “…I have appeared unto thee for this purpose,
to make thee a minister and a witness…” (Acts 26:16).
We are His witnesses; it should be what excites you.
You may not be a pastor, evangelist, teacher, prophet or
apostle, but you’re a minister of reconciliation, called to
be a soul-winner. So, live your life for Christ unreservedly.
Come what may, stand for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.
Preach the Gospel no matter what.

CONFESSION

but Christ lives in me, and I live for Him. He’s made me
a passionate, committed and fearless soul winner, and
today, through me, many receive the Gospel gladly and
are converted to the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BORN FOR THE GOOD LIFE
For we are God's [own] handiwork (His
workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus,
[born anew] that we may do those good
works which God predestined (planned
beforehand) for us [taking paths which
He prepared ahead of time], that we
should walk in them [living the good life
which He prearranged and made ready
for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC).

DEXQGDQFH WRWKHIXOOWLOOLWRYHUÀRZV ´ You weren’t
born to merely live but to live the good life which God
prepared for you ahead of time—an excellent life.
It’s the reason you should always be full of joy and
strength, doing great things and blessing your world every
day. He’s given you a great life; a life of purpose, power
and abundance. It doesn’t matter the challenges you face;
you’re victorious in Christ Jesus.
Jesus gave you a life that’s beyond this world, a life
that’s superior to the decadence and corruption of this
failing world; a life that’s divine. Glory to God! Maybe
62
you’ve been living in fear because of some diagnosis from
the doctors about your health; the life in you is superior
to sickness.
The Bible says in Romans 8:10 ESV, “But if Christ is
in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the
Spirit is life because of righteousness.” You’ve arrived
in the place where sickness and disease have lost their
grip on you. Therefore, let go of the fears.
Greater is He that’s in you than any sickness that
may attempt to fasten itself on you: “Ye are of God, little
children, and have overcome them: because greater is
he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John
4:4). You’ve overcome diabetes, heart trouble, chest pain,

and enjoy your life in sound health, prosperity, peace and
joy unspeakable and full of glory. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I’m living the good life prearranged for me before the
foundation of the world. I live in the victory, glory,
dominion and righteousness of Christ every day. I’m a
success; I live in health, because the life of God is in me;
my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! Blessed be God!

EVER-INCREASING PROSPERITY

is from above, and cometh down from

(James 1:17).

Until and unless that individual discerns that that isn’t God’s
plan for any of His children, he may blame circumstances,
the government or other people around him for his
predicament.
He might even blame himself for taking certain actions
that he shouldn’t have. But the question is: Does he really
know the truth? It’s important that you know who you are,
who God is, what you have in Him, and who He is to you.
God is your source.
The Bible says we’re heirs of God and joint-heirs
with Christ. In Christ, your prosperity is stable and ever-
increasing. It’s from glory to glory. We don’t go up to come

economy.
The Bible declares what the one who’s blessed of the
Lord shall be like: “For he shall be as a tree planted
by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by
the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but
her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in
the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding
fruit” (Jeremiah 17:8). This tells you something about the
consistency of the prosperity of God’s people, following
God’s plans.
Part of your new creation heritage is that you’re
plugged into an unending supply. Your source never
runs dry. Your source isn’t the government, society, job,
business, family or anyone else for that matter; it’s the

walk in ever-increasing prosperity, possessing enough to
require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for
every good work and charitable donation. Glory to God!

YOUR LIFE IS CAREFULLY
PLANNED BY GOD
According as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame
before him in love: Having predestinated
us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the
good pleasure of his will, To the praise
of the glory of his grace, wherein he
hath made us accepted in the beloved
(Ephesians 1:4-6).

C onsider the tenses in what we just read! Look what


we’ve got! It’s part of the reasons you should never
think weakness, failure, defeat, poverty or sickness. Your
life was preordained and carefully planned by God for the
praise of His grace. He planned ahead of time to bring us
up in Christ for the praise of the glory of His grace so that
when people see us, they say, “Wow, God is great!”
It parallels something similar that the Bible says
in Ephesians 2:10 AMPC: “For we are God’s [own]
handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ
Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works
which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us
[taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that
we should walk in them [living the good life which
66
He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” He
preordained you for an excellent life. Glory to God.
That means there’s no room for frustration, sadness
and gloom in your life. There's no need to be jealous or
envious of anyone. You were fashioned for an excellent
life. He had everything about your life well thought out;
none of us is a mistake.
There's nothing about your life that God didn't know
was coming; no surprises. And all these are based on His
excellent wisdom. Read our theme scripture further to the
8th verse; it says, “Wherein he hath abounded toward
us in all wisdom and prudence.”
In other words, there's nothing about your life that's
outside the framework of God's conception. He’s already
done everything He needed to do for your life to be a
continual stream of testimonies. Therefore, live joyfully
every day, praising Him. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I live joyfully every day, praising you,
knowing that your nature is in me and your brand is on
me. I’m fashioned for good works and to live the good
life which you have prearranged for me. There’s no room
for frustration, sadness and gloom in my life because I’m
a superior being, created without any defect. I function
perfectly and excellently for your glory. Amen.

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR
YOUR SIN-NATURE
For sin shall not have dominion over
you... (Romans 6:14).

O ur opening verse says sin shall not have dominion


over you; this is because the man or woman
who’s born again is born sin-free. In a previous verse, the
Apostle Paul, talking about our righteousness, salvation
and the grace that we’ve received from God and how they
came about, asked a thought-provoking question, “...How
shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
(Romans 6:2).
Paul wasn’t referring to himself and the other apostles
alone but to all of us; we’re dead to sin. That means sin
has no power over you because the nature of sin was
supplanted with the nature of righteousness.
1 Corinthians 15:56 lets us know that the strength
of sin is the Law, but the very thing that gave life to sin,
which is the Law, has been abolished by Jesus. Ephesians
2:14-15 says, “For he is our peace, who hath made
both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
SDUWLWLRQEHWZHHQXV+DYLQJDEROLVKHGLQKLVÀHVKWKH
enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances….”
70
The Lord Jesus has given us victory over sin, death
and the grave! We’ve been made, not just righteous, but
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. See yourself
in this light. The unregenerate man, the person who isn’t
born again, on the other hand, is a sinner by nature and
enslaved to sin. He can’t but sin, even when he doesn’t
want to, because he has the nature of sin.
But this isn’t the case with you; you’re righteous by
nature. God made it so. Your righteousness is a gift from
God (Romans 5:17), and that righteousness gives you the
ability to do right and live right.
There’s nothing you could have done on your own,
through your own human perfection to become righteous.
Likewise, there’s also nothing you can do or not do
that’ll make you less righteous before God. You’re as
righteous as Jesus is righteous because He substituted
His righteousness for your sin-nature.

CONFESSION

sin-free because Christ has given me a new life. He

FRIDAY 1
HIS WORD IS ALL THE
PROOF YOU NEED
According as his divine power hath
given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).

I n 1 Corinthians 3:21, the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit,


corroborates what Peter pens for us in the latter part
of the verse above. It says, “…all things are yours.” You
have all things in Christ, and Christ is in you.
God’s divine power, not your own ability or human
wisdom, has given unto you ALL things that pertain to life
and godliness. This means you’re not supposed to ever
be in lack or want. You’ve got to believe this because it’s
God’s Word about you.
When God says He’s done something, you don’t have
to try to claim it; you simply endorse it and act accordingly.
His Word is all the proof you need. The Lord Jesus said,
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
Then in Isaiah 55:10-11, He says, “For as the rain
cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth
not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring
forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and
bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth
out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but
it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
6
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
God’s Word is dependable. It never fails and will
always produce what it talks about if you’d act on it. Don’t
place a limit on your life. You’re a child of God, and He’s
brought you a life of endless resources: limitless blessings
and opportunities. Consciously and consistently walk in
the light of His Word.
There’s nothing you could ever need or desire for a
godly life that’s not already yours in Christ. Recall what
we read in our opening verse; it’s also in line with what
the Bible says in Ephesians 1:3: “Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ.” Hallelujah!
God’s Word is all the proof you need that you’re one
with the Lord, you’re the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus, you have divine health, you’re a success, you’re
superior to Satan and can do all things through Christ. The
Word says whatsoever you do shall prosper (Psalm 1:3);
live on the basis of the Word.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me everything I require
to live victoriously and be a success in life. You’ve not
FDOOHGPHWRSRYHUW\VLFNQHVVGLVHDVHRULQ¿UPLW\EXW
to glory and virtue. You’ve given me a life of praise, glory
and thanksgiving every day, everywhere, and at all times.
Praise God!

HE GAVE US EVERYTHING
When Christ, who is our life, shall
appear, then shall ye also appear with
him in glory (Colossians 3:4).

I n John 5:26, Jesus said, “For as the Father hath life


in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have
life in himself,” meaning that Jesus had the inherent life:
the very divine nature. He said, “I want you to know and
believe that the Father is in me and I in Him” (John 10:38).
This is simply extraordinary.
This is the very thing that God wants for us; this was
His purpose for creating man, so that He’d be in man and
man would be in Him, so you’d become a super being—the
IDFVLPLOHRUUHÀHFWLRQRI*RG+DOOHOXMDK
When you receive Christ and are joined to Him, you
become one with Him. The Bible says, “But he that is
joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
This oneness with Christ makes you supernatural because
His divine life supplanted the human life with which you
were born of your biological parents.
Now that you’re born again, what you have is the
Christ-life. Hence our theme verse says Christ is your
life. Then 1 John 5:11-12 (NIV) says, “And this is the
8
testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is
in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does
not have the Son of God does not have life” Blessed
be God!
What the Apostle John is referring to in the verses
above is eternal life. Anyone who has Jesus, the Son of
God, has eternal life. But then, in giving you eternal life, He
actually gave you Himself because He is Himself eternal
life: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and
hath given us an understanding, that we may know
him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in
his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal
life” (1 John 5:20). Hallelujah!
This is the Gospel! Jesus gave us EVERYTHING that
He is! He gave us His Name, He gave us His righteousness,
and He gave us His life. The Bible says we’re joint-heirs
with Him (Romans 8:17); as He is so are we in this world
(1 John 4:17).

CONFESSION
Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me EVERYTHING! You
gave me your Name, your righteousness, and your life.
Now I’m an associate of the God-kind, an heir of God and
a joint-heir with you; as you are, so am I in this world.
Blessed be God!

BORN INTO THE KINGDOM
OF HIS LOVE-SON
Giving thanks unto the Father…Who
hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son
(Colossians 1:12-13)

D id you know that you have power over the forces


of darkness and can rule over them? That’s
because you’re a new creation, and the new creation
should never be in bondage or servitude to Satan and the
powers of darkness. You were born into the Kingdom of
God’s Love-Son.
The new creation is one with the Lord; you’re seated
together with Christ, “Far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name
that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come” (SKHVLDQV &KULVWLDQVZKR¿QG
themselves at the mercy of demons and demonic activities
aren’t exercising their authority and dominion in Christ.
When you were born again, you were given the
authority in the Name of Jesus to cast out devils and Satan
NQRZVLW,W¶VWKH¿UVWVLJQ-HVXVVDLGZRXOGIROORZWKRVH
who believe in Him: “And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils...”
(Mark 16:17).
10
Then in Luke 10:19, He said, “Behold, I give unto
you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall
by any means hurt you.” You’ve got to put the Word of
God to work.
If you ever notice or perceive that Satan is stirring up
things around you—maybe in your health, your job, family
or in the lives of your loved ones—cast him out. Maybe it’s
in your city or nation, cast him out in the Name of Jesus
and subdue the situation.
Learn to walk in the light of God’s Word and insist
that what God has said is truth. Being born again, you’re
superior to Satan; you’re not under the authority or
jurisdiction of demons. You don’t belong in their domain
because you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear
Son. That’s where you are now. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
The Lord has given me the power to tread on serpents
and scorpions and over all the ability of the enemy.
Therefore, Satan has no place in my life, in my home
or the lives of my loved ones, because I’ve been vested
with all power and authority in heaven and in the earth
to subdue, dominate and take charge of my world.
Hallelujah!

THE SUPREMACY OF HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS
For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

I love what Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9, referring to


the supremacy of the righteousness which is by faith
in Jesus Christ. He said, “…that I may win Christ, And
be found in him, not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that which is through the faith
of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
When you confessed the Lordship of Jesus over your
life, instantly, His righteousness was imparted to you. The
ULJKWHRXVQHVVRI&KULVWLVÀDZOHVVWKDW¶VWKHULJKWHRXVQHVV
you have. It’s perfect and therefore can’t be improved upon.
Nothing you do today will make you more righteous or less
righteous before God.
When God looks at you, He sees the righteousness
of Christ. That’s why Paul said in Galatians 2:20, “I am
FUXFL¿HGZLWK&KULVWQHYHUWKHOHVV,OLYH\HWQRW,EXW
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
ÀHVK,OLYHE\WKHIDLWKRIWKH6RQRI*RGZKRORYHG
me, and gave himself for me.” Just as you’re now living
by the faith of the Son of God, you’re no longer living by
12
your own righteousness; you're living by the righteousness
of Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus was righteous before God, and He
ZDVWKHRQO\RQHZKRTXDOL¿HGWREHRXUVXEVWLWXWHEHLQJ
the only one who was born sinless, because He was born
of a virgin.
Romans 4:25 tells us that He “…was delivered for our
R௺HQFHVDQGZDVUDLVHGDJDLQIRURXUMXVWL¿FDWLRQ´
This is followed by Romans 5:1 which says, “Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.”7REH³MXVWL¿HG´PHDQV
to be declared righteous as though you never sinned,
because no charges were found against you. Hallelujah!
Today, if you’ve been struggling to be righteous,
you’re on a journey to nowhere. We couldn’t attain
righteousness by ourselves; that’s why God gave us
His own righteousness. You’re as righteous as Jesus is
righteous because He substituted His righteousness for
your sin-nature and gave you eternal life in the new birth.
Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
The ability to be right, to do right, and to produce fruits
and works of righteousness is inherent in my spirit. I’m
living by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Therefore,
I’m as righteous as Jesus is righteous. Hallelujah!

sins, the just for the unjust, that he might
bring us to God, being put to death in the
ÀHVKEXWTXLFNHQHGE\WKH6SLULW
(1 Peter 3:18).

H as it really dawned on you that Jesus Christ was


FUXFL¿HG IRU XV" +H DFWXDOO\ EHFDPH XV RQ WKH
Cross. Not only did He bear our sins, He also bore our
very nature of sin. That’s why the Bible says, “For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2
Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus was our sin-bearer and thus was made sin,
meaning that we were literally on that Cross when Jesus
ZDVFUXFL¿HG+HZDVQ¶WRQO\RXUUHSUHVHQWDWLYH+HZDV
our substitute; our sins were laid on His spirit. He took our
nature and took our place.
There’s the legal aspect and there’s the vital aspect.
He was legally your representative and vitally you on the
Cross. What’s the implication of all these? If He took your
place and nature, it means you now have His place and
nature as well. He took your place so that you might take
His place.
Therefore, since He was sinless, that means you have
His sinless nature now that you’re born again. Now you
can understand why the Bible says in 1 Peter 2:9, “But ye
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
14
nation….” Did you notice that it says you’re holy?
,W¶VWKHUHVXOWRIWKHVDFUL¿FHDQGVXEVWLWXWLRQDU\ZRUN
of Jesus Christ in your behalf. He took your sin-nature and
made you holy. Now you can live a holy life. Hallelujah!
The most beautiful part isn’t that He took our place
and our nature but His purpose for doing it. It was to
give us His place and His nature. Ephesians 2:4-6 is so
beautiful; it says, “But God, who is rich in mercy…hath
TXLFNHQHGXVWRJHWKHUZLWK&KULVW«$QGKDWKUDLVHG
us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus.”
He gave us His place of glory, dominion, power,
honour and majesty, and made us partakers of His divine
nature. Today, you’re as righteous as Jesus is righteous.
You have the same life with Him: “And this is the record,
that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is
in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that
hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11-12).
Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the sacrifice and
substitutionary work of Jesus Christ in my behalf, for
which the righteousness of God has been imparted to
P\VSLULW1RZ,¶YHEHHQMXVWL¿HGE\IDLWKDQGXVKHUHG
into a life of peace with you through the Lord Jesus

SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT YOU

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal


priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvellous light
(1 Peter 2:9).

D id you notice the phrase “a peculiar people” in


our opening verse? That's you; you’re a peculiar
being. There’s something different about you; you’re
unique; you’re not like everybody else. Never talk down
on yourself or allow anyone talk you down.
You’re a partaker of the divine nature, a God-carrying
vessel. You represent divinity. You’re a heavenly being.
You’re the extension and expression of Christ in your world.
It brings to mind a lovely testimony by one of our pastors
RIDFHUWDLQIDPLO\WKDWFDPHWRVHHKLPLQKLVRႈFH
The family had a three-year-old girl with them. After
they had exchanged pleasantries with the pastor and
shared nice thoughts from God’s Word, they turned to
leave. As they walked away, the little girl noticed a picture
on the wall, stopped, turned to her parents and the pastor
and said, “This is Jesus Christ on TV,” pointing to my picture
WKDWWKHSDVWRUKDGRQWKHZDOOLQKLVRႈFH
But that’s exactly what Jesus said about us; we’re
16
bearers of His divine presence. Jesus minced no words in
John 14:9 when He said, “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen
the Father.” Jesus is the image or icon of the invisible God
(2 Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:15).
That means He’s the visual representation of God,
WKHSUR¿OHRI*RG+HEUHZVVD\V+H¶VWKHEULJKWQHVV
of God’s glory and the “express image” of His person.
The Greek term for the expression “express image” is
“charakter” and it means facsimile or print copy. Jesus is
the facsimile or print copy of God. Then, the Bible says,
“As He is, so are we in this world!”

WE’RE IN HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvellous light
(1 Peter 2:9).

E verything God does has an end—an excellent end.


He never leaves us hanging or in limbo. Think
about what we just read in our theme verse: the latter part
says He called us out of darkness into His marvellous light.
It reminds of the scripture in Deuteronomy 6:23, “And
he brought us out from thence, that he might bring
us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our
fathers.” He brought us out of darkness, to bring us into
His marvellous light. We’re now in His marvellous light;
we’re not journeying into His marvellous light.
In Colossians 1:13, we read something similar; it says,
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son.” He lets us know that we’re not in the arena, the realm
or the jurisdiction of darkness; we’ve been transferred
into the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son. That’s your place of
18
domicile. Hallelujah!
In Deuteronomy 6:23 where it says, “...he brought
us out from thence, that he might bring us in….” By
“thence” He was referring to Egypt. Egypt was symbolic of
the world; it symbolized darkness. His purpose for bringing
us out of darkness (the world) was to bring us into His
Kingdom. His focus wasn’t our coming out of darkness,
so the celebration isn’t that we’re out of darkness but that
we’re in His marvellous light.
Another thought along the same line is in what the Lord
said to Paul in Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to
turn them from darkness to light, and from the power
of Satan unto God….” Again, we see God’s purpose: it’s
to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan
XQWR*RGDQG+H¶VIXO¿OOHGLW<RX¶UHLQ+LVPDUYHOORXVOLJKW
now and that light dispels darkness.

CONFESSION
I celebrate my glorious life in the Kingdom of God’s
Love-Son, rejoicing in His light and dominion forever! I’m
enthroned with Christ, and I shine and reign gloriously
by grace, through righteousness. My journey in life is
one of glory, triumph, success, prosperity and blessed
assurance. Hallelujah!

FRIDAY 8
NEVER OUT OF SOURCE
We are troubled on every side, yet
not distressed; we are perplexed, but
not in despair; Persecuted, but not
forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

W hat the Apostle Paul tells us in our theme


scripture above is truly remarkable. He says
QRPDWWHUZKDWVLWXDWLRQZH¿QGRXUVHOYHVZH¶UHQHYHU
down and out. We’re never out of source. That’s because
RXUVXႈFLHQF\RXUVWUHQJWKRUGLYLQHHQHUJ\LVRI*RG 
Corinthians 3:5).
Think about that second line: We’re perplexed, but
not in despair. That means we may be in a “strait betwixt
two”; we may be in a situation of embarrassment, where
we don’t know exactly where to turn at that moment; he
says in spite of that seeming predicament, we’re never in
despair. In other words, we’re not out of supply; we’re not
in a hopeless situation.
There’s no disadvantage for the child of God. We’re
never short of answers. We may be persecuted but not
cast down; we’re indestructible. We’re always in victory
regardless of the situation because we live in the Name
of Jesus! That Name is the key to every door, the answer
to every question, and the solution to every problem.
Hallelujah!

the situation in which you may have found yourself today;
count it all joy! Greater is He that is in you than all the
adversaries and adversities you could ever face. The Bible
says in 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is he that is in
you, than he that is in the world.”
7KHJUHDWHU2QHOLYHVLQ\RXWKDW¶V\RXUFRQ¿GHQFH
and assurance of victory in every situation. 2 Corinthians
2:14 says, “Now thanks be unto God, which always
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest
the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”
Hallelujah! Have this consciousness. Never think defeat,
failure or weakness.
It doesn’t matter what experiences you’ve been
through; one thing is certain: all will turn out for your good!
Trust the Lord and hold on to His Word. He knew there’d be
challenges. Nevertheless, He gave us the assurance that
in the midst of the challenges, we’d always be triumphant:

BUILDING HIS CHARACTER
INTO YOUR SPIRIT
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23).

S ome people misunderstand our purpose for


DႈUPLQJ *RG¶V :RUG :KHQ \RX WHOO WKHP IRU
example, to say, “I’m the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus”; they think we’re trying to make sinners talk as
though they are saints. No! We’re not making such
declarations because we’re “trying” to be what we’re
saying; rather, we’re stating spiritual truth.
Our confessions are based on what God already said
about us in His Word. He said whatever He said so that
we may boldly say the same thing in agreement with Him.
It’s a spiritual law: Hebrews 13:5-6, “… for he hath said…
So that we may boldly say….”
Understand how this works: The Word of God is God’s
material for building Himself and His character into your

24
spirit. First, we receive His nature at the New Birth, but
you still have your character, and because of that some
people are at a loss as to how to reconcile the realities of
the new creation life with their own character.
But that’s why the Bible tells us to renew our minds
ZLWKWKH:RUGRI*RG\RXPHGLWDWHRQWKH:RUG%XW¿UVW
you have to hear the Word, accept and endorse it, and
then confess it. When you confess the Word of God, you
create the character of God in your spirit so that you think
like Him.
God gave us the written Word for us to think upon.
He knows that if you think the Word, you’ll talk the Word,
and if you talk the Word, you’ll walk the Word! That’s the
principle of the Kingdom. You’re what you say. Therefore,
keep confessing the Word of God and thus build His
character into your spirit.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the Word, the
material for building your character into my spirit. Thank
you for showing me the way to a life of continuous victory
WKURXJKP\IDLWK¿OOHGFRQIHVVLRQVRIWKH:RUG,UHLJQ

IT’S ALL IN YOUR SPIRIT
A good man out of the good treasure
of his heart bringeth forth that which
is good; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is evil: for of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).

Y our heart, which is the recreated human spirit is


God's temple: His dwelling place. That’s where the
Kingdom of God is (Luke 17:20-21). And it’s through your
spirit that you make contact with God, for God is a Spirit.
It’s the reason you must educate your spirit and guard it
with all diligence: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for
out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23).
Everything you require for your life is in your heart;
therefore, learn to live from your heart. When you live from
your heart, you won't be bothered about the happenings
outside; your experiences won't determine your response
WRVLWXDWLRQV<RX¶OOOLYHDERYHLQÀDWLRQDQGHFRQRPLFFULVLV
because you’ve learnt how to enjoy your prosperity and
turn it on from within you.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He hath made every thing
beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their
heart….” God has set everything, including the world in
\RXUKHDUW7KLVVKRXOGQ¶WEHGLႈFXOWIRU\RXWRUHODWHZLWK
26
because God is bigger than the world, and yet, He lives
in your heart. Glory to God!
Therefore, as a child of God, see and live from your
heart. What you see with your heart is more real than what
you see with your physical eyes. 2 Corinthians 4:18 says,
"While we look not at the things which are seen, but
at the things which are not seen: for the things which
are seen are temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal."
Seeing with your heart means envisioning and
apprehending the realities of the Gospel and of the
Kingdom with your spirit. Hallelujah! It reminds of what
Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 12:3, “Therefore with joy shall
ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Where are
these wells? They’re in the deep recesses of your heart!

YOUR DIVINE ASSIGNMENT

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal


priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvellous light
(1 Peter 2:9).

W hat we just read is one of those verses of


Scripture that emphasizes the purpose of Christ
in you. It’s to make you a partaker of the divine nature, to
make you what you just read: “...a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvellous light.”
It’s your responsibility to set forth—make His wonderful
deeds known—by displaying the virtues and perfections of
divinity. It’s your calling. It’s your divine assignment.
Being born again, you’ve received the Spirit of
excellence; now He’s sent you to manifest excellence.
What God expects is that you say, “Yes” to your calling, to
who you are, and to what He’s made you. You say, “Yes,
that’s me; I’m called to set forth God’s wonderful deeds.
When I show up, God shows up.”
28
You’re the full expression and manifestation of His
love; you fully represent Him. Also, think about the fact
that the Bible says you’re the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). This means you’ve
become the very expression of His righteousness. You’re
the expression of His goodness, the expression of His
kindness, and the expression of His grace. You’re the
expression of His personality; everything the Father is and
represents is expressed in and through you.
Therefore, part of your divine assignment is to express
the will, character and nature of God. That’s righteousness.
You’ve been endowed with the ability and charged with the
responsibility to manifest and express the will and nature of
the Father in every situation, in every event, and in every
matter. Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for endowing me with the ability,
and charging me with the responsibility to manifest

JUST SAY “YES”
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and
,ZLOOPDNH\RX¿VKHUVRIPHQ
(Matthew 4:19).

O ftentimes, many are plagued with the question


of how to make the wonderful blessings of the
Gospel they’ve read about in the Scriptures a reality in
their lives. There seems to be a gulf between all that the
Bible says is theirs in Christ and their experience of Him.
But the words of Jesus in our opening verse unveil a
simple principle that can help us understand how to bring
these blessings to light, and how to have them manifested
LQ\RXUOLIH+HVDLG³)ROORZPHDQG,ZLOOPDNH\RX¿VKHUV
of men.” He didn’t say, “Follow me and try to become
¿VKHUVRIPHQ´
Don’t try to be who you already are; don’t struggle
to get what you already have; just say, “Yes” to Him. Say
yes to His Word. Every so often you declare, “I’m what
God says I am; I have what He says I have, and I can do
what He says I can do.” So, if you were a cell leader, for
example, don’t say, “I’ve been pursuing my members; I
can’t understand why only 4 out of my 20 members come
for meetings. I just keep trying and I have done everything.”
Jesus said, ³)ROORZPHDQG,ZLOOPDNH\RX¿VKHUVRI
PHQ´%XWKHUH\RXDUH³WU\LQJ´WREHD¿VKHURIPHQDQG
30
it’s not working. Stop struggling. Stop trying to convert
souls; become what you really are by saying, “Yes!” It
sounds too simple, but that’s how it works.
What could be harder than the salvation of the human
spirit? Even so, we received salvation by simply saying
“Yes” to God! All the blessings we now enjoy came because
of the salvation we received by saying, “Yes, I believe in
Jesus Christ that He died for me and that God raised Him
from the dead; and I declare that He is Lord of my life.”
And that was it.
You believed and said, “Yes!” You talked "your
believing" and it was settled; it worked. If it worked for
salvation (and salvation includes everything that the death,
burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ consummated for
us), then the same principle will work for your ministry,
\RXUIDPLO\OLIH\RXU¿QDQFHV\RXUMREDQGHYHU\WKLQJLQ
this world! Just say, “Yes!” Believe and talk your believing.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me everything I require
to live victoriously and be a success in life. I follow you in
and by the Word. I’m what you say I am, I have what you
say I have, and I can do what you say I can do. You’ve
given me a life of praise, glory and thanksgiving. Thank
you for your Word that prevails in and through me today,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE INSIDE YOU
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23).

S omebody said, “I don’t know why I’m always


getting angry every day, shouting at people. I
detest it but I don’t know what to do.” If that has been your
H[SHULHQFHVD\WR\RXUVHOI³)URPWRGD\,¶PDGLႇHUHQW
person because I have the nature and character of my
heavenly Father. I’m patient, I’m temperate, I’m meek, and
I’m gracious and kind."
Grow the character of God that is in your spirit through
your recognition of His divine attributes and nature in your
spirit. Philemon 1:6 says, “That the communication of
WK\IDLWKPD\EHFRPHH௺HFWXDOE\WKHDFNQRZOHGJLQJ
of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”
Acknowledge and declare that you have all the fruits
of the spirit in you: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. The Word
of God says they’re in your spirit. Therefore, don’t say, “I
have a problem with love; I don’t know how to love people.”
Rather, declare, “I’m full of love; the love of God is shed
abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit. I am a manifestation
32
of the love of God; love radiates through me.”
You must know what you have inside. How do you
know? It’s from the Word of God. For example, the Word
says, “You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”;
therefore, don’t say you’re trying to be righteous. Say that
you’re righteous because the Word says so.
$OVRGHFODUHWKDW\RXUIDLWKLVJURZLQJDQGHႇHFWLYH
because faith is one of the attributes of your recreated
human spirit. You already have faith according to the
Scriptures (Romans 12:3), and with your faith, you can do
anything, have anything, go anywhere and be all that God
has destined you to be. The Lord Jesus said in Matthew
17:20, “…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall
be impossible unto you.”

CONFESSION
As I meditate on the Word, the divine attributes of
my spirit are nurtured and manifested through me to
bless my world. I’m an embodiment of love, joy, peace,
meekness, gentleness, goodness, faith and temperance.
I thank you Lord for your grace at work in me mightily,
DQGWKHIDLWKWRZDONLQ\RXUOLJKWDQGIXO¿O\RXUGHVLUHV

JOYFUL EVERY DAY

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my


name: ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full (John 16:24).

O ur opening scripture reveals the heart of the


Father and His desire for us: He wants your
joy to be full always. That’s because being joyful is very
important in the Kingdom of God. The Bible says “A joyful,
cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul…”
(Proverbs 17:22 TPT).
,WPDNHVQRGLႇHUHQFHZKDWVLWXDWLRQV\RXIDFHH[XGH
joy; rejoice evermore. The beautiful part is that our joy
is of the Holy Ghost, and therefore, it’s independent of
circumstances: “For the kingdom of God is not meat
and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17).
We’re full of joy even in the face of adversities and
persecution: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye
fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2). That means
no room for frustration in your life. When others come in
contact with you, they experience joy unspeakable and
34
full of glory.
The Bible tells us about the children of Israel; how their
MR\ZDVKHDUGDIDURႇDVWKH\RႇHUHGJUHDWVDFUL¿FHVDQG
rejoiced after rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem: “Also that
GD\WKH\R௺HUHGJUHDWVDFUL¿FHVDQGUHMRLFHGIRU*RG
had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also
and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem

you know that joy has expressions. Laughter and singing
songs of praise in thanksgiving are expressions of joy.
So, despite the terrible things happening in the world
today, be full of joy every day. Give no place to gloom in
your life. Generate and release joy and excitement from
inside you today.

RIGHTEOUSNESS: A GIFT
TO THE UNGODLY

by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

R ighteousness is one of the cardinal gifts of God;


but did you know that it was a gift to the world
and not to Christians? It’s a gift to the ungodly. The Bible
UHIHUV WR *RG LQ 5RPDQV  DV 2QH ZKR MXVWL¿HV WKH
ungodly: “But to him that worketh not, but believeth
RQKLPWKDWMXVWL¿HWKWKHXQJRGO\KLVIDLWKLVFRXQWHG
for righteousness.”
1RWLFH LW GLGQ¶W VD\ +H MXVWL¿HV WKH &KULVWLDQV 7KH
Christian didn’t “receive” the gift of righteousness; the
Christian was born righteous. You were born as the
righteousness of God when you were born again.
Paul’s submission about righteousness in the Book
RI5RPDQVSDUWLFXODUO\DV\RX¶G¿QGLQFKDSWHUYHUVH
17, is a generic argument on the legality of righteousness
as it was accounted to Abraham and therefore to all who
believe in Jesus Christ. We may believe it’s given to “us”
as a gift, but that’s not all that God gave us as a gift.
For instance, Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of
38
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.” Eternal life is given to sinners,
not Christians; that’s what a sinner receives to become a
Christian. A Christian is one who has eternal life, not one
who’s “receiving” the gift of eternal life.
The Bible says anyone who believes has eternal life.
Once a man believes, right away, eternal life starts up in
his spirit. So, eternal life is no longer being “gifted” to him;
he was born with it and into it. He came alive with it when
he received Christ. It’s the same with righteousness.
It’s like when you were born of your mother; you didn’t
KDYHWR¿UVWUHFHLYHWKHJLIWRIOLIHWREHFRPHKXPDQ\RX
came into existence with life—the human life! Otherwise,
you wouldn’t have been said to be alive.
So, in essence, legally, the whole world has been given
the gift of righteousness; it’s this gift that, when received,
enables one to stand in the presence of God without guilt,
fear, inferiority, or condemnation. Anyone who receives this
gift is saved. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the life of glory and dominion
I have in Christ. Thank you for the ministry of the Holy
Spirit in me. I have the ability to think right, do right, and
produce fruits and works of righteousness, and I reign
in life through Christ daily. Amen.

WALKING IN HIM

As ye have therefore received Christ


Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him
(Colossians 2:6).

O ur theme verse admonishes us to walk in Christ


Jesus. How do you walk in Him? Who is He? The
Bible says He’s the Word—the living or incarnate Word.
And the Word of God is light (Psalm 119:105). Therefore,
walking in Him is walking in the Word, walking in the light
of God’s Word.
Think about it; how did you receive Christ Jesus? It
was by faith, and faith is walking in the Word. Remember,
the Word of God is your life; you were born of the Word:
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). So it’s natural for you
to live in the Word, by the Word, and through the Word.
Isaiah 2:5 says, “O house of Jacob, come ye, and let
us walk in the light of the LORD.” Walking in the light of
the Lord is walking in His Word. The Word of God is God
and the Bible says in 1 John 1:5-6 that God is light: “This

40
then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no
darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.”
You can’t walk in Christ and walk in darkness at the
same time. Darkness represents all that limits and hinders;
all that’s evil. But what did Jesus say? “…I am the light
of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).
Hallelujah!
When you walk in Him, you experience His life, His
glory everyday; you’re forever victorious, prosperous, and
in health! The Bible says we should walk in the light as He
is in the light (1 John 1:7); walk in the light of who you are
in Him. Glory to God!

PRAYER
The Lord is my light and salvation; in Him I stand secure
forever. In Him I live and move and have my being. In
Him I trust, for His Word is true and never fails. By Him
I’m forever victorious, for the forces of evil are subdued
before me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HIS SANCTIFIED TABERNACLE
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you (John 14:17).

J ust before His glorious levitation into heaven, the


Lord Jesus talked extensively to His disciples about
the person of the Holy Spirit. He told them the Holy Spirit
would be in them (John 14:16-17). Acts 1:8 says, “But ye
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you….” On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit
came upon them, to live in them. In the Old Testament,
Solomon built God a temple and at the dedication of the
temple, the presence of God came upon it and into it (2
Chronicles 5:13-14).

your vessel, your body to become His house. You’re God’s
42
dwelling place; He literally lives inside you. And because
He lives in you, He speaks through you and walks in you
(2 Corinthians 6:16). He manifests Himself in and through
you.
When Jesus walked the earth, He said, “…the Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works” (John 14:10);
He was referring to the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit
dwells in you today. His power is at work in you just as it
was at work in Jesus.
This is the essence of Christianity; it’s what Jesus

and living tabernacle. The great God of glory lives in you
today through the Holy Spirit. What a blessing! Always

need for a life of the miraculous and the supernatural
every day.

TREASURES OF INESTIMABLE VALUE
Who gave himself for us, that he might

unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works (Titus 2:14).

E very human person is important to God; every


man, woman, boy and girl! He uniquely cares
for each and every one of us. That’s why numbers bear
VLJQL¿FDQFHWR*RG
While God desires the salvation of a multitude, His love
for each individual is deep and personal. Your value to Him
is beyond what you could ever imagine. If you study the
Bible, you'll realize that even if you were the sole inhabitant
of planet earth, Jesus would still have come to save you.
Christ’s purpose wasn't dictated by our numbers but
by our worth to God. It was our importance and value to
Him that compelled Him to pay the ultimate price for our
salvation. No wonder the Bible says in Luke 15:7 (NKJV),
“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in
heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-
nine just persons who need no repentance.”
Jeremiah 31:3 NIV is also very beautiful; it says, "…I
have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn
you with unfailing kindness." Psalm 139:13-14 NIV
46
says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well."
In both scriptures, the reference is quite direct and
personal. God loves you. You’re His treasure of inestimable
value. He calls us a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a peculiar people, called to display the
virtues, perfections, graces and excellence of divinity (1
Peter 2:9).
Ephesians 2:10 AMPC, brings it to a climax. It says,
"For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship),
recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do
those good works which God predestined (planned
beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared
ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the
good life which He prearranged and made ready for
us to live]."

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for loving me and demonstrating
your value for me by the price you paid for my salvation—
the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. I see others
through your eyes of love and reach out to them with the
good news of salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE REACHES THE WORLD OF
MEN THROUGH MEN
So he, trembling and astonished, said,
''Lord, what do You want me to do?"
Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go
into the city, and you will be told what
you must do" (Acts 9:6 NKJV).

T he Bible tells us the story of Peter and Cornelius


in Acts 10. Cornelius, a Roman centurion, was
a devout and God-fearing man who regularly gave alms
to the poor, yet he wasn’t saved. In a vision, an angel
appeared to him, instructing him to send for Peter who
shall tell him words, whereby he and all his household
shall be saved.
Someone might ask, “Why didn't the angel directly
instruct Cornelius on what he needed to do for salvation?
Why the elaborate process of summoning and persuading
Peter?” It’s because God sent men to bear His message of
salvation, not angels. His policy is to use men to save men.
7KLVSULQFLSOHLVH[HPSOL¿HGLQWKHIDFWWKDW*RG+LPVHOI
became a man to bring salvation to us. That’s why He still
needed to use the Apostle Peter to lead Cornelius and his
household to salvation. His Gospel is committed to men
and to be preached by men. And by men, we mean men
48
and women alike.
In 1 Timothy 1:11, Paul said, “According to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was
committed to my trust.” The Gospel has been committed
to your trust, not to the trust of angels. So, take advantage
of His mandate and be a light in your world and to the
nations. Enlighten and illuminate the hearts of men and
women with the saving truth and transforming realities of
the Gospel.
It’s a noble responsibility for us to carry the message of
salvation to the farthest corners of the earth. So rejoice in
this privilege and let it become the focal point of your life's
purpose. You’ve been granted the opportunity to serve in
the Gospel, to proclaim His righteousness and to establish
His Kingdom on earth and in the hearts of people. Nothing
could be more gratifying!

JESUS IS THE CHRIST
But what about you? he asked. "Who do

I n Acts 17:1-3, Luke explained how Paul and his


companions journeyed through Amphipolis and
Apollonia, eventually reaching Thessalonica. There, they
entered a synagogue, and for three consecutive Sabbaths,
Paul engaged in discussions with the Jews.

FRIDAY 22
FROM JERUSALEM TO THE
ENDS OF THE EARTH
And said unto them, Thus it is written,
DQGWKXVLWEHKRYHG&KULVWWRVX௺HUDQG
to rise from the dead the third day: And
that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in his name among
all nations, beginning at Jerusalem
(Luke 24:46-47).

T here are proponents of a false teaching that


Christianity is a Jewish religion, but the words of the
Lord Jesus in the opening text dispel that notion. He said
the Gospel “…should be preached in his name among
all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” The Gospel is for
all. Christianity is for all; it only started in Jerusalem. So,
don’t limit the Gospel; preach it to everyone, everywhere,
and in all nations! The Bible says in Mark 13:10, "And the
JRVSHOPXVW¿UVWEHSXEOLVKHGDPRQJDOOQDWLRQV
In Matthew 24:14 NIV, Jesus said, “...this gospel of
the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Then in Matthew 28:19, He instructed, "Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
In fact, before His glorious ascension to heaven, He
told His disciples, “But ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
54
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth” (Acts 1:8). So, the disciples began from
Jerusalem, spread the Gospel to Judea and Samaria, and
then moved to the ends of the earth.
Thus, it was from Jerusalem to the very bounds of
the earth. This shows that the Gospel is for everybody;
it’ll produce results in the life of anyone who hears and
believes it everywhere and anywhere in this world. Don’t
limit the Gospel to your locality; tell everyone about Jesus.
Yes, talk to your spouse, parents, teachers, students,
neighbours, colleagues or co-workers about Jesus.
Preach the Gospel to them. For those in the hinterlands
and seemingly forgotten places of the earth who may not
even understand your language, send them Rhapsody of
Realities.
Thanks be unto God; Rhapsody of Realities is
available in every known language on earth. So, it’s a
tool for global evangelization. It’s a love note from God
with which you can preach the Gospel everywhere and to
everyone. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the universal reach of the
Gospel as it’s what brings salvation to all, with no one
left out. I’m an ambassador of Christ in the Gospel.
Through me, the Gospel reaches many today whom
you’ve ordained for salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

REMISSION OF SINS
And said unto them, Thus it is written,
DQGWKXVLWEHKRYHG&KULVWWRVX௺HUDQG
to rise from the dead the third day: And
that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in his name among
all nations, beginning at Jerusalem
(Luke 24:46-47).

In Christ, we have remission of our sins. His


substitutionary work in our behalf made us new
creations. Our past and our sins were completely blotted
out, entirely erased from God's memory, not just your own.
So literally, what Jesus did was to take away the power
of sin to prevent its destructive consequences. For that
reason the Bible says, “For sin shall not have dominion
over you...” (Romans 6:14). Jesus accomplished this for
us.
Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore,
men and brethren, that through this man is preached
unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that
EHOLHYH DUH MXVWL¿HG IURP DOO WKLQJV IURP ZKLFK \H

implies being acquitted, to be declared not guilty.
Many Christians haven’t fully grasped the depth of this
truth. While Jesus indeed paid for the sins of the whole
world, when you believe in Him, you receive a new life,
you become “a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new
person in the presence of God.
In God's presence, you’re brand new! This is what
MXVWL¿FDWLRQWUXO\PHDQV\RXVWDQGDFTXLWWHGQRWPHUHO\
paid for. Through your belief in the payment, He gave
you eternal life, and you were born anew, with a new life
without a past. You’re now a new creature; this serves as
the basis for your acquittal.
The Bible says, ³7KHUHIRUHEHLQJMXVWL¿HGE\IDLWK
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ” (Romans 5:1). In the presence of God, He sees
you in Jesus Christ. He doesn’t see the multitude of sins
you’ve committed; instead, He sees you as pure as Jesus.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making Jesus who knew
no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Christ. I pray for sinners around
the world today, that as they hear the Gospel, their
hearts be open to receive the remission of sins already
accomplished for them through the death of Christ, to
live unto righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE UNVEILER OF DIVINE MYSTERIES
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him (Ephesians 1:17).

O ur theme verse is a profound prayer of the Spirit


that highlights the indispensable role of the Holy
Spirit in unveiling the mysteries of God to us. He’s the
unveiler of divine mysteries and secrets. Only through
Him can we truly know God and know things pertaining
to the Kingdom.
1 Corinthians 2:11-12 provides some more clarity into
this. There, the Bible says, “…the things of God knoweth
no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know the things that are freely
given to us of God.”
How does the Holy Spirit enable you to know the things
of the Kingdom of God? It is by introducing them to your
spirit. Your brain or mind can’t comprehend them. But the
Holy Spirit, in fellowship and contact with your spirit, grants
you wisdom for revelation to know God and the secrets of
the Kingdom.
58
Moreover, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth who
guides you into all truth: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things
to come” (John 16:13).
Earlier in John 14:26, the Lord Jesus, speaking of the
same Holy Spirit said, “But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of knowledge; He’s the
embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge. With Him, you
can never walk in darkness or be confused about anything
in life. Remember, He made all things. If you’d recognise
and take advantage of His ministry in your life, you’ll be an
oasis of knowledge and a fountain of solutions in a dark,
needy, and ignorant world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m grateful for the privilege of fellowship
with the Holy Spirit who continually unveils the mysteries
of the Kingdom to me. My path is illuminated to know
and walk in my heritage in Christ, enjoying unending
success, victories, fruitfulness, productivity, beauty and
joy in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A DIVINE RELATIONSHIP

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one


spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17).

W hile there may be some religious activities


or practices in Christianity, Christianity
fundamentally distinguishes itself as a relationship rather
than a religion. To grasp the distinction, consider the
relationship between a child and his or her parents. This
IDPLOLDOFRQQHFWLRQLVQRWGH¿QHGE\UHOLJLRXVDGKHUHQFH
but is deeply rooted in a personal, intimate relationship.
In Christianity that is what Jesus came to do; He came
to bring us into a relationship with God beyond religion.
Before Jesus came, various religions existed but Jesus
EURXJKWVRPHWKLQJGLႇHUHQWDUHODWLRQVKLSZLWK*RG
No wonder when Jesus referred to God as "Father,"
it left the Jews astonished. They wondered, "How could
anyone call God Father?" Well, Jesus called God His
Father because He had a relationship with Him. It was a
Father-and-Son relationship.
Addressing God as a Father was unfamiliar and
perplexing to the Jews. In John 10:30, Jesus said, "I and
my Father are one," stressing the essence of this divine
60
relationship. He had the same life with God. John 1:14
WHOOVXV+HZDV*RGLQWKHÀHVK
The Jews couldn’t take it. In fact, when He dared to
go further and explain that relationship, they sought to kill
Him. But thanks be unto God; through His death, burial and
resurrection, we’ve been brought into the same oneness
with God. We’ve been brought into a divine relationship
with the Father!
Now we can call God our heavenly Father; you don’t

TUESDAY 26
THE CORE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
Even the mystery which hath been hid
from ages and from generations, but now
is made manifest to his saints: To whom
God would make known what is the
riches of the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory (Colossians 1:26-27).

C hristianity, in its essence, can be encapsulated


in our underlined words in the opening scripture:
Christ in you. The revelation that Christ resides within you
forms the core of the Christian Faith.
This divine union and interconnectedness between us
and God is described by the Lord Jesus in His prayer to
the Father in John 17:23. He said, "I in them, and thou
in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that
the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast
loved them, as thou hast loved me."
It also brings to mind what Paul said in 2 Corinthians
5:19: “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.” Think about that; God was in Christ,
and now Christ is in you; that means God is in you. This
62
is amazing.
Furthermore, the Bible says, “For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
The glory of God being referred to here is the presence of
God. Man lived in God, in His presence; God's presence
was his light. That connection, that relationship was the
JORU\7KHQEHFDXVHRIVLQPDQZDVFXWRႇIURPWKDWJORU\
But today, in Christ Jesus, that glory that was lost in
Romans 3:23 has been regained according to Colossians
1:27. The beautiful thing is, that presence is not just around
you; it’s in you now. It's not just a voice walking in the
Garden as in the Book of Genesis; that voice is now in you.
Now we can rejoice because it’s not Christ around
you, amongst you, or with you, but Christ in you! When you
received Christ, the glory came into your life. Your life is
severed from shame, reproach, sickness, disease, failure
and poverty because Christ is in you. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
Christ in me, the hope of glory! Therefore, glory,
wholeness, health, preservation and prosperity are
guaranteed in my life because Christ has come to live

NO BLESSINGS LEFT TO ASK FOR
Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

D id you know that there’re no more blessings in


heaven that aren’t already yours in Christ? Notice
the past tense in what we just read; it says, "God has
blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places
in Christ." Also notice that it says He’s blessed you with
spiritual blessings, which means you don't have to ask for
more blessings, as He’s already blessed you with ALL the
blessings that exist in Christ Jesus.
This is remarkable because it means He’s blessed you
with untold prosperity, divine health, unending joy, victories,
supernatural strength, success, and any other blessing
you can imagine. You may say, “But He only mentioned
spiritual blessings; how about the physical blessings?”
The physical blessings are all included in the spiritual
blessings. The lesser is included in the greater. Think about
it like this: The Bible says God is a Spirit. Then in Genesis
1:1, it says, “In the beginning, God created the heaven
and the earth.”
Now, if God, who is a Spirit, created the heavens and
64
the earth in the beginning, it means He pre-existed the
beginning and that He must dwell in the realms of the
spirit. Therefore, all the blessings He has must be spiritual.
The realm of the spirit pre-existed the heavens and the
earth. So, the physical or the material world came out of
that realm. All other blessings—material or physical—are
inside spiritual blessings. Whatever you would have asked
of God is included in what He's already blessed you with.
So, today, there’s no need to ask Him for more
blessings. Now you can understand why He said in 1
Corinthians 3:21-22, “...For all things are yours; Whether
Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or
death, or things present, or things to come; all are
yours.” Peter echoes the same truth in 2 Peter 1:3, saying,
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness….”

CONFESSION
I’m in Christ, therefore, I enjoy all spiritual blessings in
heavenly places. I enjoy prosperity, health, joy, strength,
wholeness, wellness and success. I’ve been chosen and
RUGDLQHGIRUDOLIHRISUDLVHMR\H[FHOOHQFHYLFWRU\DQG

YOUR PERSONAL STUDY
OF THE WORD
This book of the law shall not depart out
of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success (Joshua 1:8).

T he Word of God takes you from one level of glory


to another as you open up to its divine revelations.
It works in you when the truth therein dawns on your
spirit—when you know it and agree with God about what
He said. But how can you agree with Him if you don't know
what He said?
That’s why you need to have a voracious appetite
for study; get to know the Word, especially in this Year of
Redemption, where you’re “cashing out your vouchers”
for their actual value. Remember, those vouchers are
God’s truths, His Word concerning you, which you have
to proclaim by faith.
The Bible says, “As newborn babes, desire the
sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (1
Peter 2:2-3). Read what the Lord Jesus said to the Jews
66
who had believed in Him, “…If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).
Notice that the Master’s admonition was for them to
continue in His Word. That means having an insatiable
appetite for the knowledge of God’s Word. Through the
Word, we renew our minds and build faith and character.
The Apostle Paul said, “Study and be eager and
do your utmost to present yourself to God approved
(tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be
ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing
[rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of
Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC).
The Lord Jesus said in John 5:39, “Search the
scriptures….” The Word of God is the mind of God
expressed—His will written and expressed for us. Study
the Word of God for yourself; understand it, speak it, and
live accordingly.

of the personal study of your Word, a vital ingredient in
my Christian walk. As I study and meditate on the Word

FRIDAY 29
PREACH THE TRIUMPHANT LIFE
Now thanks be unto God, which always
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the savour of his
knowledge by us in every place
(2 Corinthians 2:14).

W hen we teach about the triumphant life—the


prosperity, health, wellness and wholeness that
salvation in Christ brought to us—some people think it’s
too good to be true. They say, "Well, Pastor Chris just
promises them a good life, trying to tell them there’s no
hardship, no persecution, and no problem."
Why should I proclaim the gloom life when the Lord
already gave us the victorious life? Even when we go
through severe persecutions, He tells us to, “...count it
all joy...” (James 1:2). Why? It’s because nothing and no
one, whether in heaven, on earth or under the earth, can
work to our disadvantage.
This keeps us joyful and consistent in our praise and
appreciation of God’s grace and glory in our lives. Think
about Job, for example, during a distressing period of
DJRQ\DQGDႉLFWLRQLQKLVOLIHKHVDLG“Though he slay
me, yet will I trust in him…” (Job 13:15).
Isaiah 43:2 says, “When thou passest through

ZDONHVW WKURXJK WKH ¿UH WKRX VKDOW QRW EH EXUQHG
70
QHLWKHU VKDOO WKH ÀDPH NLQGOH XSRQ WKHH´ The Lord
never promised that we wouldn't face challenges, but He
assured us that our victories would be inevitable.
1 Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.” It parallels what we read in our opening verse.
We’re victorious ALWAYS, in every place and in all things.
Study about our Lord Jesus when He walked the
earth; He was victorious in all things. He lived in absolute
glory and dominion and passed the same mentality to His
disciples. Once, He said to them, “…in the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world” (John 16:33).
In Luke 10:19, He said, “Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you.” Hallelujah! What we have in Christ is
the transcendent life. That’s what we believe; that’s what
we live, and that’s what He sent us to preach and teach.

PRAYER
Gracious Father, I thank you for the victorious, glorious

DON’T STRIVE TO "RE-CONQUER"
For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith (1 John 5:4).

O bserve that the Apostle John didn’t say we


should try or attempt to use our faith to conquer
the world, no! The Church is born of God. You are born
of God. The Scriptures are born of God. And our theme
verse says: "For whatever is born of God is victorious
over the world..." (1 John 5:4 AMPC).
In John 16:33, the Lord Jesus said, "These things I
have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world." If He overcame the
world for us, we don't have to “try” to overcome the world
again.
Our faith in His victory is not an attempt to conquer the
ZRUOGEXWDUHFRJQLWLRQRI+LV¿QLVKHGZRUNLQRXUEHKDOI

T here’s a misconception of the meaning of the


phrase, "Ye are of God" in the verse above.
To some, it means “to be on God’s side,” but that’s not
correct. The Apostle John’s construction isn’t in any way

hail from God, therefore, Christ must be in you; you must
receive Him to live in you.
Recall the words of the Lord Jesus in John 3:3, “…
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The
concluding phrase of our opening verse gives credence
to this; it says, “…greater is He that is in you...;” so, He
has to be in you. Think about it: He gave birth to you to
74
live in you!
The Bible says, “...Christ in you, the hope of glory”
(Colossians 1:27). You have absolute victory over all forces
of darkness and the wicked spirits that orchestrate evil
because of the greater One that lives in you.
Read how beautifully the AMPC renders our opening
verse: “Little children, you are of God [you belong to
Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them
[the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in
you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.”
Praise God!
You have overcome the adversary and his nefarious
and sinister plans to cause untold hardship, troubles,

I hail from God and the greater One lives in me. I have

GOALS FOR THE MONTH:


Rhapsody of Realities
. . . A DAILY DEVOTIONAL

www.rhapsodyofrealities.org
MONDAY 1
A MESSAGE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
For the love of Christ constraineth us;
because we thus judge, that if one died
for all, then were all dead: And that he
died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but
unto him which died for them, and rose
again (2 Corinthians 5:14-15).

D id you know that God isn’t counting the sins of men


against them? He isn’t because Jesus already
died for everybody. “I thought He died for Christians”;
someone might ask. No; it was for the whole world! 2
Corinthians 5:19 NIV says, “that God was reconciling
the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s
sins against them. And he has committed to us the
message of reconciliation.”
Observe that it says God was in Christ, reconciling
the world to Himself. Why? It’s because Jesus paid for
everybody. When Jesus died, every one of us died in
Him; in the mind of justice, we were in Him in His death.
When God raised Him up, the whole world was given the
6
opportunity to receive eternal life—the life of righteousness.
That’s the reason our message is His Gospel to the
whole world. Our mission is to tell the whole world that
Jesus paid for their salvation; therefore they don’t have
to die or be judged anymore. Jesus was judged for the
whole world.
For everyone in the world today who hasn’t been born
again, eternal life is available now. All they have to do is
believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead in
His substitutionary act of salvation, confess the Lordship of
Jesus over their lives, and they’ll be brought into the vital
realization, experience and union with the living Christ.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for sending Jesus to die for the
whole world, thereby making it possible for everyone
who believes in His substitutionary work, and confesses
His Lordship, to receive eternal life. Thank you for eternal
life in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOUR DAILY SUPPLY
Give us this day our daily bread
(Matthew 6:11).

O ur God is so gracious and kind. Did you know


that He has more than enough supply for you
every day? He isn’t just into “provision”; He’s into supply—
abundant supply. Hallelujah!
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC: “And
God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly
blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may
always and under all circumstances and whatever the
QHHGEHVHOIVX௻FLHQW>SRVVHVVLQJHQRXJKWRUHTXLUH
no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every
good work and charitable donation].” He wants you to
have, not only for yourself, but enough to help others.
Therefore, for every day in God’s calendar and plan
for your life, in His structure of things, there’re supplies set
aside for you. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord,
ZKRGDLO\ORDGHWKXVZLWKEHQH¿WVHYHQWKH*RGRIRXU
salvation. In this Year of Redemption, make up your mind
to redeem every blessing that God has ordained for you.
Each one of us has a heavenly account. Call forth
8
your supply even now. Some people have never taken
possession of that which belongs to them since they
became Christians. They have leftover supplies that have
accumulated over time. It’s time to cash out! It’s time to
draw from your heavenly account. How?
It’s through your faith-filled affirmations—your
confession of the Word! The Lord Jesus said you shall have
what you say (Mark 11:23). In Psalm 45:1, the Psalmist
said, “…my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”
Your tongue is the pen; use it now to sign your
“coupons and vouchers” and turn them in for actual value.
+DOOHOXMDK<RXVD\³7RGD\WKHUH¶VDQRYHUÀRZRIIDYRXU
and resources for me, and I take possession. The Lord has
supplied all that I require for life and godliness according
to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus. Amen.”

CONFESSION
Everything I require—the men, materials, resources,
etc.—for life and godliness is available to me by free
course! My life is a daily expression of the supernatural.
I’ll never be broke, because I’m plugged into an unending,
supernatural supply in Christ Jesus. Amen.

LIVE UNTO HIM
For whether we live, we live unto the
Lord; and whether we die, we die unto
the Lord: whether we live therefore, or
die, we are the Lord's (Romans 14:8).

I n life, many grapple with discontentment, burdened


by various concerns and life's challenges. Often,
their dissatisfaction stems from not having learnt the

displeases Him.
In other words, your displeasure can only be a

KDUERXUKXUWRႇHQFHRUDQJHULWUDLVHVWKHTXHVWLRQRI
whether your desire to please the Lord is genuine.
It brings to mind the story in 1 Samuel 8:4-7; the
elders of Israel approached the prophet Samuel at Ramah,
expressing their desire for a king to rule over them like other
10
nations. Samuel, displeased by their request, prayed to
the Lord. God responded, instructing Samuel to heed the
people's voice, clarifying that their request was a rejection
of Him as their King rather than a rejection of Samuel.
7KH SURSKHW 6DPXHO IHOW SHUVRQDOO\ RႇHQGHG EXW
God corrected and taught him a great lesson about being
impervious to hurts, as it was about Him, not Samuel. Living
for the Lord involves transcending personal feelings and
aligning yourself with His divine will.

CONFESSION
Dear Father, I choose to live unto you and please you at
all times, full of love towards others. I align my desires
with your divine will, and my joy and satisfaction come
from pleasing you, living for you, and fulfilling my
purpose in Christ. Amen.

MODEL YOUR LIFE AFTER CHRIST

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of


me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
DQG\HVKDOO¿QGUHVWXQWR\RXUVRXOV
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light (Matthew 11:29-30).

T here’re some Christians who like to model their


lives after the Old Testament prophets. Some
actually would pray, “O, Lord, I want to be a type of Elijah
so that I may initiate a bolt of lightning down out of the
sky and incinerate your enemies.” Some ask for the same
unction Jeremiah had so they can prophesy judgment on
people and nations that don’t believe in God. Something
is wrong.
Don’t try to be another Elijah or Jeremiah. Emulate
Christ. In Luke 9:54-55 (NKJV), when James and John,
two of the disciples, witnessed the rejection of Jesus in
a Samaritan village, they asked the Master, “…Lord, do
<RX ZDQW XV WR FRPPDQG ¿UH WR FRPH GRZQ IURP
heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” The
Lord rebuked and severely censured them. He said, “…
You do not know what manner of spirit you are of”
(Luke 9:55 NKJV).
The Bible says, “You must display a new nature
because you are a new person, created in God’s
12
likeness—righteous, holy, and true” (Ephesians 4:24
NLT). You aren’t to be fashioned after the Old Testament
prophets; we have a model, and that’s Jesus!
In Ephesians 5:1, we’re admonished to be imitators
of God as His beloved children. We’re to emulate His
quiet, gentle, loving and compassionate spirit. This is easy
because we have His life and nature in us. Therefore, we
can talk and love like Him and walk in absolute mastery
and dominion in the earth.
Even in prayer, emulate Jesus. Study the content of
His prayer, for example, in John 17, and pray like Him.
Have the primary desire and enduring passion to please
WKH)DWKHUDV+HGLG+LVMR\ZDVWRIXO¿OWKHZLOORIWKH
Father. That should be your focus every day.
If you were on the journey to be like the revivalists of
old, or to be patterned after the Old Testament prophets
or anyone else for that matter, recalibrate your life
immediately. You’d be amazed at the profound joy that’ll
engulf you, leaving you transformed into a more Christlike
personality. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
My life is for the glory of God, because it’s modelled after
Christ; my desires align with His perfect will as I live to
please Him in all things. His love, compassion and tender
mercies are manifested in and through me today. Amen.

YIELD YOUR AMBITIONS TO
DIVINE GUIDANCE
For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).

T he Bible tells us how God chose Moses to be


Israel's deliverer. However, his ambition got the
better of him and he took matters into his own hands. In
Exodus 2:11-22, Moses witnessed an Egyptian mistreating
a Hebrew. In anger, he killed the Egyptian and tried to hide
the body.
7KHQH[WGD\ZKHQKHWULHGWRLQWHUYHQHLQDVFXႉH
between two Hebrews, one of them questioned his
authority and asked if he was going to kill him as he killed
the Egyptian. Afraid that his action of killing the Egyptian
ZDVQ¶WDVHFUHWDIWHUDOO0RVHVÀHGWRWKHODQGRI0LGLDQ
In Stephen’s address to the Sanhedrin, as recounted
by Luke in Acts 7, he underscores Moses' assumption
that his brethren would have recognized him as God's
chosen deliverer. Acts 7:25 (MSG) says, “He thought his
brothers would be glad that he was on their side, and
even see him as an instrument of God to deliver them.
But they didn't see it that way.”
Moses allowed his zeal to becloud and overshadow
God's intended process. At the time, he didn’t surrender
14
his ambition to divine guidance. He was chosen by God
to be the deliverer alright, but he tried to work things out
his own way. It’s a mistake a lot of people make.
In your life, learn to surrender your ambitions to His
divine guidance. Follow God’s plan, the divine blueprint.
He’s more passionate about your success than you could
ever be. I discovered this early as I started out in ministry
and it changed my life. Learn to pursue His dream and do
things His way; it’ll take away the stress and the struggle.
Remember the admonition that God gave to Moses
later when he was to build the Tabernacle; He said, “…
See…that thou make all things according to the pattern
shewed to thee in the mount” (Hebrews 8:5). When

follow the Lord’s guidance and do things His way.

thousand men. Troubled, the elders of Israel decided to
bring the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh, hoping it would
save them from their enemies.
As the Ark arrived, there was a great shout, and the
Philistines, hearing it, became afraid. They expressed
concern about facing the mighty God of the Hebrews, but
in response, the Philistine leaders urged their people, "Be

The phrase "quit yourselves like men" in this context
means to "be a man" or "act like a man." With this
instruction, they encouraged themselves to demonstrate
qualities of strength, courage and resilience in the face of
challenges or adversity. They went out and fought more

In 1 Kings 2:2, David, in his final days, charged
Solomon, saying, "I go the way of all the earth: be thou
strong therefore, and shew thyself a man." It’s quite
interesting that David didn't instruct Solomon to show
himself as a king or a prince even though Solomon was
crowned king.
Instead, the emphasis was on him demonstrating
qualities of leadership and strength. Since David himself
was a man of war, he encouraged Solomon to be strong
and courageous, resilient in the face of adversity.
In the New Testament, Paul made a similar call when
he exhorted God’s people in 1 Corinthians 16:13, saying,

qualities associated with leadership, resilience and

It's essential to note that the expression isn't addressing
gender but rather emphasizes virtues of courage and
resilience in the context of faith and steadfastness.

became a progenitor of kings. In Genesis 17:6, God said
to Abraham, "And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,
and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come
out of thee."
God reiterated the same thing to Jacob: “…I am
God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a
company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall
come out of thy loins” (Genesis 35:11). So, God gave a
directive that from Abraham, kings would emerge.
Then we come to the New Testament and Revelation
1:5-6 unveils a glorious truth, that through the Lord’s
redemptive work, He has not only washed us from our
sins but has made us kings and priests unto God. It says,
“…Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our

18
sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and
dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” We now share in
the royal heritage. Blessed be God!
Embrace your identity; you’re a king. God has ordained
you to reign and rule in the realms of life. Not only does
He want you to have the consciousness that you’re a king,
He also expects you to reproduce kings like you, just as
the Lord Jesus, the ultimate King, has made us kings and
priests.
Kings reign by issuing decrees and pronouncements.
Embrace your identity as a royal progeny.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m of the lineage of kings, and I issue
decrees and pronouncements, establishing your will,
plans and purposes in the hearts of men, and the nations
of the world. I declare that I’m reigning as a king in life
over all circumstances through the Word and the power
of the Holy Ghost at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP
Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken and
thus let us offer to God acceptable
worship, with reverence and awe
(Hebrews 12:28 RSV).

O EVHUYHWKDWWKHRSHQLQJYHUVHWHOOVXVWRRႇHUWR
God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.
What does "acceptable worship" mean? It’s worship that’s
according to the Word; that’s the worship God accepts.
That you “felt” good during worship doesn’t mean it’s
acceptable worship. Many songs that many have sung
through the years and have called worship were not
worship at all.
For example, they’re those who made a song out
of what the psalmist wrote in Psalm 100:4, “Enter into
his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise….” King David may have composed it, but today,
we do not “enter” into the presence of God. The day you
were born again, you were born into the presence of God;
that’s where you live. In fact, you carry the presence of
God in you and with you!
That’s why when someone says, “Let’s enter into His
presence,” I ask, “Where are you coming from?” These
22
distinctions may seem subtle, but they are far from mere
semantics. True worship is not about emotions, singing,
dancing or having melodious tunes; it has to be according
to the Word.
The Lord Jesus said, “But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father
in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him” (John 4:23). Someone says, “But I worship
with pure conscience.” The danger lies in assuming that a
pure conscience equates to acceptable worship.
Your conscience will guide you based on the
knowledge you possess. If your understanding is limited,
\RXUFRQVFLHQFHWRRZLOOEHOLPLWHGVRLW¶VDQLQVXႈFLHQW
guide. The conscience, as the voice of the human spirit,
requires training through the knowledge and understanding
of the Word to be able to present to the Lord acceptable
worship.

CHRIST IS THE ROCK
And I say also unto thee, That thou art

church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).

T he Lord Jesus made the remarkable statement in


our theme scripture above in response to Peter’s
amazing revelatory insight about the Master’s identity
as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Many have
misconstrued what the Master meant when He said, “Upon
this rock I will build my Church.”
Some have speculated that Jesus was referring to
Peter's revelation about Jesus being the Christ, but no!
He wasn’t referring to Peter’s revelation. The Master was
succinct in His communication; He didn’t say, “Peter, upon
the revelation that I’m the Christ will I build my Church.”
Rather, what He said in essence was, “I will build my
Church on Christ.” Christ is the Rock.
To further clarify this, it’s important to follow and
understand certain prophetic nuances in the Bible. For
example, in Matthew 22:41-46, Jesus asked the Pharisees
about their understanding of the Messiah, and they replied
that Christ was the Son of David. Then He asked them
if the Messiah was the son of David, how come David
addressed Him as Lord? And then He quoted what David
said in Psalm 110:1, "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
24
footstool."
When you read several other portions of the Scriptures,
you’ll observe where David referred to the Lord as “the
Rock.” In 2 Samuel 22:1, for example, he spoke to the
Lord, expressing gratitude for the deliverance from all
his enemies, including Saul. He declared, “…The LORD
is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer...” (2
Samuel 22:2).
Then in Psalm 18:2, he said, "The LORD is my
rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my
strength…." In the 46th verse, he continues, "The Lord
lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation
be exalted" (Psalm 18:46 NKJV). In essence, Christ is the
foundation of the Church; He is the Rock. 1 Corinthians
10:4 states clearly, “…and that rock was Christ.”
The Church is not built on Peter’s revelation; it stands
unshakeable on the Rock—Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

BONDED TOGETHER WITH HIM

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,


and the young men shall utterly fall: But
they that wait upon the LORD shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and not
be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint (Isaiah 40:30-31).

T he term "wait upon" is translated from the Hebrew


word 'qâvâh,' signifying to "gather" or to "bind
together" perhaps by twisting. It's comparable to twisting
ropes together to form one braided rope. Contextually,
therefore, "wait upon" might not be the most accurate
choice of words in translating what the prophet Isaiah said
in that verse.
For example, when you read the creation story in
Genesis 1:9, the same Hebrew word 'qâvâh' is used
when God commanded the water below the sky to come
together in one place so that the land will appear: "And
God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear:
and it was so."
Also, in Jeremiah 3:17, where the Scriptures
emphasized the idea of people being united or bonded
together, the same word is used: "At that time they shall
call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD, and all the
nations shall be gathered unto it...."
So, when Isaiah 40:31 speaks of those who "wait upon
28
the LORD," a more accurate understanding would be those
who are "gathered together" or those who are "bonded
together" with the Lord; they shall renew their strength.
What does this tell us in the light of the New Testament?
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:17, “...he that
is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” Now, you can
understand why the Holy Spirit has come to live in you; you
and the Holy Spirit have become one in that rich fellowship.
It’s a “bonding together” as it were.
We’ve been brought into oneness with divinity;
it’s an inseparable union. We’re in Him, and He is in
us. Glory to God! This is the reason we can enjoy rich
fellowship with Him in prayer—praying in tongues—and
be reinvigorated through and through. We’ve been brought
into a communion, a place of relationship, a oneness of
spirit. Hallelujah!
You ought to enjoy that fellowship every day; it’s not
something you go into and come out of, for you’re in Him,
and He’s in you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for my inseparable oneness with
you, which gives me the privilege and awesome blessing
of constant fellowship with you. As a result of this deep
communion, I’m strengthened, energized and continually

THE GLORY OF THE WORD
And it came to pass, when Moses came
down from mount Sinai with the two
tables of testimony in Moses' hand,
when he came down from the mount, that
Moses wist not that the skin of his face
shone while he talked with him
(Exodus 34:29).

M any of us acknowledge that the Word of God, as


the Scriptures tell us, “…is given by inspiration
RI *RG DQG LV SUR¿WDEOH IRU GRFWULQH IRU UHSURRI
for correction, for instruction in righteousness…” (2
Timothy 3:16). Also, the Lord Jesus emphasized in John
15:3, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have
spoken unto you.” So, we understand that the Word of
God does all these. That’s because the Word of God is

Moses in the Old Testament, part of which we read in our
theme verse.
He had spent forty days and forty nights with God
on Mount Sinai, receiving the Ten Commandments. And
because he had been in communion with God, when he
came down from the mountain, his face radiated the glory
of God such that everyone who saw him couldn’t look at
him.
There was a distinctive glory on Moses that emanated
from his attentive reception of God’s Word. Moses had to

and meditation on the Word.
,W VFUXFLDOWRUHFRJQL]HWKHGLႇHUHQFHLQKRZ0RVHV
and the children of Israel perceived the Word. While the
people viewed it as commandments and instructions,
Moses understood God’s Word as life (Deuteronomy
32:46-47).
In the New Testament, this same glory is now within
us. When you received the Word of God into your spirit
for salvation, the Word came to live in you and the glory
of God’s Word is now in your spirit. The best part of it is
that the glory of the Word in us today outclasses what
Moses had.
Ours, according to 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 (read the entire
reference), is the more excellent glory: “…For even that
which was made glorious had no glory in this respect,
by reason of the glory that excelleth; for if that which
is done away was glorious, much more that which
remaineth is glorious” (2 Corinthians 3:10-11).

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the transformative power
of your Word. As I contemplate, meditate and speak
the Word, the glory of the Word in my life increases
with greater intensity; I walk in supernatural grace,
perfection, beauty and righteousness. I’m continually
metamorphosed from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

witnesses. The word “power” in this context means power
WKDWZRUNV7KH*UHHNUHQGHULQJLV'XQDPLVLWVLJQL¿HV
inherent power—power that reproduces itself; it’s the root
word from which we get the English, ‘dynamo.’
A dynamo is a device that generates electrical power
through the conversion of mechanical energy. So, the
term dynamo is often used to describe a generator that
continuously generates power without requiring external
assistance. This is the kind of power at work in you today.
It’s a miracle-working ability.

world. A witness is one who possesses evidence and
32
proof; he’s one who’s called to testify of what he knows.
So, should you ever feel weak as a witness, activate the
power within you! Paul explains how to do this in Ephesians
5:18-20; it’s by getting yourself drunk in the Holy Ghost!
Also, in 1 Corinthians 14:4, the Bible says, “He that

THE DYNAMICS HAVE CHANGED

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the


Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9).

O ne remarkable distinction between Jesus and the


prophets of old is that Jesus had the fullness of
the Godhead dwelling in Him. The Holy Spirit was within
Him, but the prophets only had the Holy Spirit come upon
them from time to time.
For example, we read the story in Judges 6 when
Gideon was chosen by God to deliver Israel from the
Midianites. The Bible says, “But the Spirit of the LORD
came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer
was gathered after him” (Judges 6:34).
Also, in the 14thFKDSWHUZH¿QGWKHVWRU\RI6DPVRQ
who encountered a young lion while on his way to Timnath.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, enabling him to tear
the lion apart "as he would have torn a kid" (Judges 14:6).
In 1 Samuel 10:10, before Saul became king, the Spirit
of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied among the
prophets. Also, read the story of David in 1 Samuel 16:13.
After Samuel anointed David as the future king of Israel,
the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him.
But today, the dynamics have changed. We’re in the
generation of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit doesn’t
34
come on us like He did with those in the Old Testament.
He lives in us now in His fullness. The Holy Spirit lives in
you in His maximum capacity and entirety, just like Paul
said about Jesus in Colossians 1:19, “For it pleased the
Father that in him should all fulness dwell.”
In the next chapter, Paul also reiterated, “For in
him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily”
(Colossians 2:9). Then in the very next verse, He was
quick to add that we are complete in Him: “And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power” (Colossians 2:10).
So, today, just like Jesus, when you walk the streets,
it’s with the fullness of the Godhead. God Almighty, in
His fullness, lives, walks and talks in you. Hallelujah!
Can you see that you aren’t an ordinary person? You’re
D*RGFDUU\LQJYHVVHO¿OOHGZLWK+LVIXOQHVVDQGGRLQJ
extraordinary things. Glory to God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the indwelling of your Holy
Spirit within me. I’m a God-carrying vessel, replete with
the maximum load of God. I am not an ordinary person;
I am a vessel of divine power. I can do all things through
Christ which strengthens me. Amen.

DQGEX\HWKWKDW¿HOG 0DWWKHZ 

T he Lord Jesus vividly describes the Kingdom of


+HDYHQDVDKLGGHQWUHDVXUHLQD¿HOG7KH¿HOG
symbolizes the world, and the treasure within it is the
Church. Jesus saw the Church in the visions of His Spirit.
He, in turn, paid the ultimate price, shedding His own
blood to legally acquire the whole world for the sake of
the treasure therein.
Thus, the world belongs to Jesus; He is its rightful
owner. Hebrews 1:2 AMPC emphatically declares that
Jesus Christ is not just an appointed heir, but He’s the
lawful owner of all things: ³>%XW@LQWKHODVWRIWKHVHGD\V
+HKDVVSRNHQWRXVLQ>WKHSHUVRQRID@6RQ:KRP
He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things….”
Then in Romans 8:16-17, we learn that as children
of God, we’re joint-heirs with Christ. This implies that
everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to the Church
in the same way that it belongs to Him. Therefore, as He
is—the lawful owner of all things—so are we. He doesn't
38
own it without us, and we don't own it without Him. We have
equal rights to everything that the Father gave to Jesus.
Ephesians 3:8 (AMPC) describes our wealth and
inheritance as boundless, fathomless, incalculable and
exhaustless. Hallelujah! Have this consciousness. Walk
through life with the mentality that the whole world belongs
to you, because it does in Christ Jesus.
The whole world was willed to Abraham, but the
SURPLVHKDGWREHIXO¿OOHGLQ&KULVW7KH%LEOHVD\V"And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs

Christ. Now you can understand why the Bible says in 1

POWER TO HEAL

And these signs shall follow them that


believe… they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover
(Mark 16:17-18).

D id you know that when it comes to healing the


sick, we’re the ones God asked to do it? He gave
us power to heal. In our theme scripture, the Lord Jesus
didn’t say the believing ones shall pray to me to heal the
sick; rather, He said, they shall lay hands on the sick, and
the sick shall be healed.
Then in Luke 10:9, He was just as direct when He
sent His disciples out to preach the Gospel. He said, “…
heal the sick…and say unto them, the kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.” Also, He told them, “And
as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at
hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give”
(Matthew 10:7-8).
Remarkably, He didn’t say, “pray for the sick”;
rather, He said, “heal the sick.” Hallelujah! In Acts 3,
3HWHUH[HPSOL¿HGWKLVDXWKRULW\WRKHDOWKHVLFNZKHQKH
encountered a man who had been crippled from birth at
the Temple gate. He declared, "...Silver and gold have
I none, but such as I have give I thee; in the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk" (Acts 3:6).
40
This wasn't a plea or a prayer; Peter simply acted on the
Words of the Master; He used the Name of Jesus as a
powerful instrument.
In Acts 3:16, he further emphasized the power of the
Name of Jesus when he said that faith in His Name had
made the formerly lame man strong: “And his name
through faith in his name hath made this man strong,
whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him
hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence

the blessing of using the Name of Jesus. When you speak

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for granting me the power of
attorney to use the Name of Jesus and bring healing
and health to the sick. Even now, I proclaim healing for
many today who are in hospitals and might have been
given up to die; the handwriting of death concerning
them is cancelled, and they’re restored to sound health,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

many are unaware that God has a unique plan for each

destinies: a natural destiny shaped by circumstances such

then on, He takes charge of your life.

ESTABLISHED IN THE TRUTH
I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority;
WKDWZHPD\OHDGDTXLHWDQGSHDFHDEOH
life in all godliness and honesty. For
this is good and acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour; Who will have all
men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4).

T he Greek word translated “knowledge” in the


scripture above is “epignosis.” It means full, exact
or precise knowledge. God wants all men to be saved
and to come to the full, exact or precise knowledge of the
truth. If this weren’t possible, He wouldn’t have said so.
This is His desire.
It’s also the reason He set ministers and ministries
in place as gifts to the Church: “And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of
the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto
a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:11-13).
God wants you built up and established in the Word
until you come to such a high level of faith and knowledge
44
of the Son of God—mature and fully grown in the Lord.
As you develop in Christ and in the things of the Spirit,
and as you increase in the revelation knowledge of the
Word, you’re able to tame circumstances and live above
the elements of this world.
When you have precise knowledge of the truth—the
truth about Christ and what He’s done for you and in
you—your life will be an endless stream of peace, joy and
victories. Get to know the truth.
For example, Psalm 87:3 says, “Glorious things are
spoken of thee, O city of God.” Then in Psalm 50:2,
the Bible says, “Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined.” Hallelujah! God shines through you,
not cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, poverty or any of the
negativities of this world. You’re the perfection of beauty.
When you stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself
and say, “I know who I am; greater is He that is in me
than he that is in the world. My life is for the glory of God
because Christ lives in me.” Be established in these truths.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me absolute
and exact knowledge of your Word, far removed from
assumptions, doubts and uncertainties. I function by the
Spirit of wisdom and knowledge in all my endeavours,
fruitful in every good work. Christ is the glory of my
life and by His grace, I reign triumphantly every day, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KEEP BEARING FRUITS
You did not choose me. I chose you and
sent you out to produce fruit, the kind
of fruit that will last. Then my Father
will give you whatever you ask for in my
name (John 15:16 CEV).

I sn’t it wonderful to know that the Lord Jesus chose


and ordained you to produce abiding fruits: results
that stand the test of time? Whatever you do is expected
to succeed and “abide.”
The Bible tells us about Joseph who was brought into
the house of Potiphar as a slave. However, because the
Lord was with him, everything he did prospered. When his
master, Potiphar, saw this, he promptly made Joseph the
overseer of his house. Potiphar recognized that Joseph
was blessed to produce lasting results.
The grace of God is on your life to produce excellence
in everything you do. Become conscious of this. Whatever
you’re required to do should be a success because you’re
a child of God, and you’re fashioned for good works.
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

HE DELIGHTS IN YOUR PROSPERITY
If therefore ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true riches?
(Luke 16:11).

T here are Christians who make snide remarks when


they hear the teachings on prosperity in Christ.
Sometimes, they accuse preachers of focusing too much
on money and the prosperity message. Ironically, the same
individuals work tirelessly all day and all week for money.
Some of them even resort to dishonest means to obtain it
and often feel distressed when they lack it.
There’s no better place to learn about financial
prosperity than God’s Word. The Lord delights in your
prosperity. The Bible says in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish
above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
It brings to mind the words of David in Psalm 35:27;
he said, ³«/HW WKH /25' EH PDJQL¿HG ZKLFK KDWK
pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” The Lord
has pleasure in your prosperity. That should let you know
that poverty, lack and want aren’t the will of God for you.
2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMPC) says, “And God is able
48
to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing)

His will is for you to be in surplus, ever-prospering.

and charitable donation. Thank you for delighting in my
prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

through our hands.
Once, I was in a meeting where there were many
people with arthritis, and a lot of them couldn’t lift their
hands. I asked the Lord, “Why do we have so many people
in that place with arthritis?”
The Lord’s response to me was very interesting. He
said, “I said in my Word to lift your hands and worship me;
lifting your hands in worship will keep you away from such
ailments as arthritis.” Sadly, many don’t know this.
Then He said, “If those people had been praying,
worshipping, praising with their hands lifted, as the
6FULSWXUHVD\VWKH\ZRXOGKDYHQHYHUVXႇHUHGDUWKULWLV´
The things that God tells us to do are for our sake, for our
blessing, such as the lifting of our hands. Every so often,
in times of prayer and worship, let your hands go up.
Lifting your hands to the Lord is a sign of your

AN ACT OF VICTORY
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took
a stone and put it under him and he sat on
it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one
on one side, one on the other—so that
his hands remained steady till sunset.
So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army
with the sword (Exodus 17:12-13 NIV).

A s referenced in our last study, the lifting of our

mere religious routine as some folks think. It’s a ministry.
For example, Exodus 17:8-13 gives us the account of the
Israelites' battle against the Amalekites.
The Amalekites attacked Israel at Rephidim. Moses

his hand. As the battle progressed, whenever Moses held
up his hands, the Israelites prevailed, but when he lowered
them, the Amalekites gained the upper hand.
Aaron and Hur, the two men who were with Moses
noticed that every time Moses lifted his hands, Israel had
the advantage, and every time his hands dropped, the
opposing side prevailed. Moses, unaware of the impact,
was informed by Aaron and Hur that the lifting of his hands

54
Recognizing the importance, Aaron and Hur provided
a stone for him to sit on, and they both helped to bear
his hands up on either side. By so doing, Israel prevailed
against Amalek. What did that signify? It wasn’t about the
height of the hands; it was the lifting of the hands.
Remember that he had to sit down; when he sat down,
the height was reduced. So, it wasn’t about how high the
hands were; it was the fact that the hands were lifted. With
his hands steady until sunset, Joshua overwhelmed the
Amalekite forces.
There's something about the lifting of our hands. If you
desire to witness continuous victories and triumphs, always
praise the Lord with your hands lifted. When you face
challenges, declare, “Father, I lift my hands to you against
these issues, against the forces of darkness, against those
that war against me.” This act has the power to paralyze
opposing forces! Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I lift my hands to you today in holiness, to
bless and adore you for your glory, majesty and grace. I
rejoice in you today, knowing that you’re the glory of my
life and the solid Rock on which I stand. With my hands
lifted in praise, I declare that you alone are God; you’re
the great King of all. Thank you for your lovingkindness,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

AN UNDERSTANDING OF HIS LOVE
…that the world may know that thou hast
sent me, and hast loved them, as thou
hast loved me (John 17:23).

G od loves you as much as He loves Jesus. Has


this reality dawned on your spirit? When it does,
it’ll completely transform everything about your life. Years
ago, when I discovered this verse, I shouted, cried, danced,
and screamed for joy!
God’s love for us is beyond human description and
imagination. In Romans 5:8, the Bible says, “But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” John 3:16 says,
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Your value to God is the price He paid for your
salvation, which is the blood of Jesus Christ: “Forasmuch
as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold…But with the precious blood
of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19).
7KLV VKRXOG KHOS \RX IXUWKHU DSSUHFLDWH WKH LQ¿QLWH
magnitude and boundless nature of His love. In Ephesians
3:17-18, the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, prayed
that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to
56
comprehend the unfathomable dimensions of the Father’s
love.
Furthermore, in Romans 8:32, the Apostle Paul raised
D WKRXJKWSURYRNLQJ TXHVWLRQ DV KH UHÀHFWHG RQ *RG¶V
matchless love for us. He asked, “He that spared not
his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how
shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
In other words, why should anyone be sick, weak, poor,
broke, depressed or live a down life, judging how much
the Father loves us?
An understanding of our heavenly Father’s love will rid
your life of fear, sickness and everything associated with
Satan and darkness. Matthew’s account of what the Lord
did as a demonstration of His love for the people lends
credence to this. It says, "And Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease among the people"
(Matthew 9:35). Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Ever-loving Father, thank you for the unfathomable and
immeasurable love you’ve so lavished upon me. It’s
such a delight to know that I’m special and valuable to
you. I walk in the consciousness of your unfailing love
today, and I manifest and radiate your love to my world,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A MANIFESTATION OF HIS GOODNESS
The thief comes only in order to steal
and kill and destroy. I came that they
may have and enjoy life, and have it in
DEXQGDQFH WRWKHIXOOWLOOLWRYHUÀRZV
-RKQ$03& 

T he Lord Jesus said He came that we may have


and enjoy life to the full. Aren’t you glad about that?
He lived and died, and came back to life to see to it that
nothing cheats you out of His perfect will for you.
In 3 John 1:2, He said, “Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even
as thy soul prospereth." In this verse, the Apostle John
describes the comprehensive prosperity of the human
person, which includes spiritual, material and physical
well-being.
God knows that without sound health, you can’t enjoy
the life that He gave you. That’s why He sent us to heal
the sick. Divine healing is a manifestation of His goodness.
Acts 10:38 further reinforces this truth. It says, “How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power: who went about doing good, and healing
all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him.”
God sent Jesus, and He went about doing good,
58
healing all those who were oppressed of the devil. The
Bible shows that He gave us the same charge. He said in
Matthew 10:8, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise
the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received,
freely give.”
Luke 9:2 says, referring to the disciples, “And he sent
them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
sick.” Hallelujah! Think about Peter and John at the gate
of the temple called Beautiful. They encountered a man
who had been lame from birth, begging for alms. The Bible
says,³7KHQ3HWHUVDLG6LOYHUDQGJROGKDYH,QRQH
but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6).
The man, previously unable to walk, was healed
instantly, and he entered the temple with Peter and John,
praising God. The crowd, astonished at the miraculous
healing, saw in the hitherto lame man the manifestation
of the goodness of God. God doesn’t want people sick,
weak, or broken. That’s why He sent us to take healing to
the nations. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I declare that Satan has nothing in me, for I walk in the
transcendent, victorious and ever-triumphant life in
Christ Jesus. I’m a partaker of the divine nature, with a
life that’s sickness-proof, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BOLDNESS AND ACCESS

According to the eternal purpose which


he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
In whom we have boldness and access
with confidence by the faith of him
(Ephesians 3:11-12).

I f you read the opening text from some Bible


translations, they missed the profound simplicity of
what Paul was saying. They translated it as having access
and boldness into God’s presence, but we already have
that in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. So what was Paul
referring to here?
First, boldness in this context implies the freedom to
express ourselves openly, being able to say whatever you
want to say. While worldly systems grant freedom with
limitations, in Christ Jesus, we have absolute freedom of
speech.
We possess the freedom to speak boldly in the
presence of the Father, angels, and even demons, and
express ourselves freely anywhere. This boldness extends
beyond uttering mere words; it empowers us to speak
things into existence.
Secondly, we have “access”; meaning we can go
60
anywhere. No nation can ever close its doors to you; you
have access to every country, to every wealth and to all
riches. Ephesians 3:12 (MSG) beautifully captures it; it
says, “When we trust in him, we're free to say whatever
needs to be said, bold to go wherever we need to go.”
Even with that, it has a limited understanding of the
word "access." It's not just about going wherever you need
to go; you have access to the spiritual and the material,
to the wisdom of Almighty God. You have access to
the unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable and
exhaustless riches of Christ.
When you grasp the depth of your access and vast
wealth in Christ, giving and lavishly sponsoring the spread
of the Gospel becomes a lifestyle, because you know you
have access to an unending supply. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for I have boldness and access

obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to
His divine will. I live above circumstances, with access
to your wisdom and the exhaustless riches of Christ, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PERFECT WITHOUT DEFECTS
And his name through faith in his name
hath made this man strong, whom ye see
and know: yea, the faith which is by him
hath given him this perfect soundness in
the presence of you all (Acts 3:16).

I want you to notice the expression “perfect soundness”


in our opening verse. It’s rendered from the Greek
ZRUG³KRORNOƝULD´ZKLFKPHDQVDSHUIHFWVWDWHRIKHDOWK
a condition of health with no problems whatsoever. This
is God’s desire for you, and it’s one of the many blessings
of living in and by the Name of Jesus.
James 1:4 expresses a similar thought; it talks
about being "perfect and entire, wanting nothing." The
WHUP WUDQVODWHG HQWLUH LV ³KRORNOƝURV´ WKH YHUE IRUP RI
³KRORNOƝULD´ ,W LPSOLHV EHLQJ SHUIHFWO\ VRXQG FRPSOHWH
without blemish. What a life!
Then, to make this happen, God gave us the Holy
Spirit, the Spirit of life, to keep us perfectly sound. Romans
8:11 says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ
IURPWKHGHDGVKDOODOVRTXLFNHQ\RXUPRUWDOERGLHV
62
by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Hallelujah!
In the previous verse 10, it says, “But if Christ is
in you, then even though your body is subject to
death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of
righteousness” (Romans 8:10 NIV). Christ in you, the
Holy Spirit in you, guarantees you perfect soundness of
spirit, soul and body.
It brings to mind Peter’s encounter with Aeneas who
had been crippled for 8 years. All Peter said to him was,
“…Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and
make thy bed. And he arose immediately” (Acts 9:34).
Aeneas was restored to a perfect state of health because
Peter understood the transcendent power of the Name of
Jesus and Christ living in us.
As a Christian, Christ lives in you, and you live in Him.

and praise of your Name. Amen.

life because of righteousness
(Romans 8:10).

O ften, in a well-translated King James Version of the


Bible, you'd observe some parenthesized words
due to missing links in the manuscripts. Consequently,
the correct rendering of our opening verse ought to have
been, "And if Christ be in you, though your body is
dead because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of
righteousness." The updated New International Version
actually renders it similarly.
Then we come to the 11th verse of the same Romans
8; it says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ
IURPWKHGHDGVKDOODOVRTXLFNHQ\RXUPRUWDOERGLHVE\
his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” The word translated as
“but” doesn't necessarily have to be 'but'. It’s best rendered
as 'and', 'now', 'then' or 'so'. Either of these foregoing words
SURYLGHDPRUH¿WWLQJFRQQHFWLRQ
So, let’s now put these in the right context and read:
"And if Christ be in you, though your body is dead
because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of
righteousness. Now, if the Spirit of him that raised up
Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up
&KULVWIURPWKHGHDGVKDOODOVRTXLFNHQ\RXUPRUWDO
64
bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans
8:10-11).
Even now, as you read this, if your physical body has
already been so battered, bruised, damaged and ravaged
by sickness and disease, there can be a change. If it has
been paralyzed, the Holy Spirit can give life to your physical
body and restore you to perfect health.
It’s one of the reasons we speak in tongues. The
Bible says, "He that speaketh in an unknown tongue
HGL¿HWK KLPVHOI« (1 Corinthians 14:4). The Greek
ZRUGWUDQVODWHG³HGL¿HWK´LV³RLNRGRPHR´ZKLFKPHDQVWR
construct or build up, to embolden or charge up like you’d
charge a battery.
Thus, the one who speaks in tongues builds himself
up, charges himself, and rejuvenates himself. What
happens when you do this is that the power of God within
you courses through your being, vitalizing your physical
body. Spend some time right now to speak in tongues; the
power that’s at work in you even now will revive, vitalize
and produce life in your body or wherever you require it.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the impact of the Holy Spirit
in my life and on my physical body. I activate the power
by speaking in tongues; therefore, I’m invigorated,
refreshed, energized and vitalized; health courses
through my being, and sickness and all that hurts and
binds are dispelled, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

COUNTERACT THEIR EFFORTS
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them
that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this
world, nor of the princes of this world,
that come to nought (1 Corinthians 2:6).

It’s important to become more acquainted with the


Word and let it dwell in you richly. This is crucial,
because we’re in the last days, and some individuals and
groups have come up with sinister schemes to cause pain,
untold hardship, famine, wanton destruction and death in
the world. But with the Word in your heart and on your lips,
\RXFDQFRXQWHUDFWWKHLUHႇRUWVDQGEULQJWKHPWRQDXJKW
Read our theme verse in the Amplified Classic
translation; it says, "…when we are among the full-
JURZQ«ZHGRLPSDUWD>KLJKHU@ZLVGRP WKHNQRZOHGJH
of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed
not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor
of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being
brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away."
Observe that as a result of speaking wisdom, that is
VSHDNLQJWKH:RUGWKHDGYHUVDU\LVGLVFRP¿WHGKLVSODQV
are foiled and brought to nothing. God isn’t doing that from
heaven, no! It’s happening through us. We’re His battle-
axe and weapons of war (Jeremiah 51:20).
When discussing the actions and activities of wicked
and unreasonable men, feudal lords that seek to keep
66
men and nations in bondage, declare only what the Word
says about them. The Word says they are doomed to fail.
Speak the truth about their failure.
Declare that in the clutches of their sinister agenda,
WKH\¿QGQRIRRWKROGQRSURJUHVVDQGQRDGYDQFHPHQW
against the Church and God’s people. The greater One
lives in us; therefore, the malevolent designs of Satan and
his cohorts of evil are doomed to wither and perish as we,
the Church, walk on in victory. Hallelujah!
Remember that in the Church age, God has not
bestowed any governmental structure, group or individuals
with the power of global control. Only what we—the
Church—permit will come to pass. Our work and
responsibility is to bring forth the will of the Father.
Therefore, in prayer, and with your words, enforce and
execute the will of the Father here on earth.

PRAYER
Dear Father, your righteousness and peace prevail in
the nations of the world today; your goodness is heard,
VHHQDQGH[SHULHQFHGE\DOOPHQIRUWKHHDUWKLV¿OOHG
with your goodness. All the works of the adversary are
thwarted, and men of corrupt minds shall proceed no
further. We reign through Christ in all the earth; His
righteousness overshadows the hearts of men, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

JUSTIFIED “WITHOUT CAUSE”
Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus (Romans 3:24).

I n Romans 4:24-25, the Bible tells us that the Lord


-HVXVZDVGHOLYHUHGIRURXURႇHQFHVDQGZDVUDLVHG
DJDLQIRURXUMXVWL¿FDWLRQ-XVWL¿FDWLRQPHDQVDFTXLWWDOWR
be declared not guilty. How did this happen?
First, when Jesus died and was buried, in the mind of
justice, we died and were buried with Him. When He was
raised back to life, we were raised together with Him, a new
creation. It happened at the same instance that God said
of Him, "…Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten
thee" (Psalm 2:7).
Jesus was born again when He was raised from the
dead. That’s where we—the Church—came from. We
came from the resurrection, not from the Cross. In the
mind of God, when Jesus resurrected, you resurrected,
you were born a new creature because you were in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17, says, "...If any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature, old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new." Now that you're
70
born again, you’re without a past. The question then is,
what happened to your past? It died with Jesus, because
when Jesus died, the whole world died in Him. So, by His
resurrection, all men should have a new life. Hallelujah!
That’s why when you were born again, you were born

(Romans 3:24). The word "freely" is translated from the

is also to be declared righteous.

without cause; you didn’t have to do something about it to
make it happen. It was by His grace; you were born that
way. Now He says, “… as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the death, burial and
resurrection of the Lord Jesus which ushered me into a
newness of life. Now I’m a new creature in Christ Jesus,

LIVING EPISTLES
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts,
known and read of all men: Forasmuch
as ye are manifestly declared to be
the epistle of Christ ministered by us,
written not with ink, but with the Spirit
of the living God; not in tables of stone,

(2 Corinthians 3:2-3).

1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of


corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” Every
Christian is thus the epistle of Christ, because we’re born of

meant by us being “living epistles.” Today, anyone who
wants to see the Word of God should look at you, for you’re
the epistle of Christ! This is what the Church is. Hallelujah!

(John 1:14 NKJV). Jesus was the epistle of God. He was
the love-letter sent to the world by God. The same Word
WKDWEHFDPHÀHVKJDYHELUWKWRXV
We were born in the realm of the spirit to be like Jesus
through the Word. Glory to God. Your life is the life of the
Word. You're not born of the corruptible seed of man, but
of God’s incorruptible seed. This is the reason the life in
you is the God-life—the life of the Word. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I live the supernatural life and my potential is limitless
because I’m born of the Word. The life in me is the God-
life; therefore I’m divinely endued to live triumphantly
according to God’s mighty power at work in me. Through
me, many come to the knowledge of Christ today, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“Revived From the Brink of Death”
My son has always been active and healthy. One night, I
suddenly discovered he had become cold and was lying lifeless,
without a pulse. I immediately reached out for my copy of
Rhapsody of Realities and placed it on his chest while I prayed.
Soon enough, I noticed his body was moving; he then sneezed
and came back to life. Glory be to God!

“Healed From Panic Attacks”


I used to have panic attacks, mostly on the highway while
driving. This led to anxiety and the sensation of losing
control of myself, my body, and my mind. I became fearful of
everything: people, taking trains, aeroplanes and driving. My
life fell apart until I encountered Rhapsody of Realities and
my journey of change began from the inside. I'm free from
fear, and my peace, happiness and love for everything has
been restored. Glory!
-F. B Italy

“Divine Intervention Through Rhapsody of Realities”


My son was kidnapped and a ransom of 1 million CFA was
demanded. The kidnappers threatened to kill him if the ransom
was not made available within some hours. While I was looking
for a solution, I remembered the words I had studied from
Rhapsody of Realities, the Messenger Angel, and I began to
declare that the words would go forth as an angel and release
him. The following day, my son was miraculously released
unharmed and without paying the ransom. Hallelujah!
