Godly reminders 8

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us – by me, Silvanus, and Timothy – was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. (2 Corinthians 1:19 NKJV)

The son of God that was preached to us was a Yes. He is the yes to all God’s promises. This Scripture is a reminder that we should always think positively about God and Christ. We must never doubt His love and ability to help us.

Jesus came as Yes, and forgave us all our sins. He defeated death, hell, the grave and sin. He brought grace and by that grace we have overcome and can overcome if we persist in faith, prayer and righteousness.

May we be fully surrendered to His will and purpose for our lives in complete obedience and love. May His grace, light, mercy and love be our crowning glory in Jesus name.

Godly Reminders 2

The Lord loves faithfulness, commitment and righteousness. We must constantly remember that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Seeking Him involves pleasing Him always and spending time in prayer. It is simply not enough to say ” I have faith” and be idle and disobedient. We must show our faith by imitating Christ and living the way He lived. Christ demonstrated His faith by complete obedience and prayer. We should too.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

When we imitate Christ and think and act like Jesus, God will also anoint us with power and the oil of joy. The anointing will give life to our faith and break yokes. May God give us the grace to never get distracted and loose focus so that we can arrive at the mountaintop of Christian maturity.

He Will Give Good Things

He Will Give Good Things

The Spirit Of The Lord

36: He Will Give The Holy Spirit To Those Who Ask

Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? (Matthew 7:9 NKJV)

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! (Matthew 7:11 NKJV

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13

God promised us :

1. The Holy Spirit

2. Good things

This is a glorious promise from our Heavenly Father, however so many people are not enjoying the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Many people are also not enjoying good things. So, why is it that it seems impossible for many people to enjoy the fullness of the Holy Spirit and good things? It is because nothing good comes easily.

The Kingdom of God suffers violence and only the violent take it by force. We must take it by force not by complaining or crying. Taking it by force requires forceful, aggressive, persistent, praying, asking, seeking and knocking.

Also, when the Bible says the Kingdom of God is within us it means that the Holy Spirit who makes God’s Kingdom a reality on earth is within us. The Holy spirit is heaven on earth because He is heavenly and is from heaven and constantly carries the presence and anointing of Heaven. In order to taste the fullness of Holy Spirit who manifests God’s Kingdom, we must be spiritually violent and aggressive not docile and lazy.

We must ask, if we do not ask, we will not receive. We must position ourselves to receive and never give up.

For us to receive good things we must desire them and pray fervently with passion and holiness. We must approach God’s throne with focus and determination. God has promised us good things so we must not be shy, lazy or confused in asking. We must also be expectant and confident and not doubt because God does not like double mindedness and timidity. We must pray with boldness and faith.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him (1 John 3:21 – 3:22 ESV)

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. (1 John 5:14 ESV)

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:3

In our asking, prayers and desires, we must not place those good things or blessings above God, His word or love of God and others. Every thing must be in the right order and perspective because God is a God of order and intelligence. We must value goodness, love, purity, spiritual blessings and the fullness of the Holy Spirit above good things. The personification of every and all good things is the fullness and gifts of the Holy spirit.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1:5-8

It is more important to receive the crowning fullness of the Holy Spirit than to pray for good things. It is biblical and not bad to pray for good things {Give us today our daily bread.Matthew 6:11} but when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will have clean auras and will easily attract good things and the blessings of God. When the Holy Ghost is upon us we will not spend long hours, shouting, screaming, praying and asking. Jesus and Paul never screamed when they prayed – there is no record or evidence of that in the Bible.

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” John 11:41-42

God will hear us before we open our mouths and even if He does not answer us, He will tell us why. When Paul’s prayer for God to remove the thorn in the flesh was not answered, God told him why. If we are not praying according to His plans and purposes for our lives and are asking amiss, He will tell us and we will not spend hours asking for something that opposes God’s will and purpose.

May God give us the grace to persist in praying for the fullness of the Holy Spirit till we are soaked to overflowing and our cups run over. May we be wet, filled and soaked with the latter rain in Jesus name. May His great glory rest upon us until we taste heaven on earth.

You Allowed It

You Allowed It

Revelations And Messages 7

7: You Allowed It

The Lord once said to me, ‘ A spell was cast upon you and you allowed it.’ That was when I was still very young in the Lord and His ways. The Lord had told me I would go through serious trials, tests and battles. The Lord subsequently taught my fingers to fight and make war until I learnt how to manifest His glory. I know now, how to pray and experience His manifest presence.

When I am filled with His Spirit, I experience certain things in my physical body. For the past 26 years, it’s been the same physical signs that I feel when my Spirit is filled with His presence. It is only the Lord that can train us and teach us effectively, on how to pray and get result. We must be led by His Spirit and receive counsel and direction.

The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3 KJV

The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3 NIV

Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1

When His glory manifests, I see Him in form of clouds. The cloud usually descends from heaven. He is inside the cloud and sometimes the cloud opens for me to see Him. However, most of the time, I just see the cloud and He talks from inside the cloud. He comes with clouds of white, white and blue, purple, and gold. He has told me the meaning of the different colors of the cloud.

My inner garments instantly change to whatever color of cloud He appears in. My spiritual sandals also take up that same color. Sometimes the color of my spiritual hair also changes to the color of the cloud if the cloud is gold. My inner hair becomes sparkling gold. I had to accept His corrections and apply them like a warrior before knowing Him and His glory.

The Lord is a warrior and fighter and wants His children to become very fierce warriors. He hates docility. How can you be a victorious fighter if you have never been trained in the battle field of life? Life is a battle field and only the tested, brave and persistent emerge victorious.

The Lord was not blaming me, He was just letting me know that we should actively resist evil by engaging in hot fervent prayers. When you have the Lord of Lords and powers as your father, every power is available to you. The devil uses his agents to put spells on us to test our faith. The spell finds a space, lands and grows if our faith and walk with God is not yet up to His standard – mature

Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest. Proverbs 26:2

How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced? Numbers 23:8

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Proverbs 21:1

The fearful and timid know only one thing – defeat. Get rid of childish fears, pick up your golden swords and fight. Fight until you win – that was how the Lord dealt with me and He is dealing with all His children that way. The Lord was not soft on me, He was very tough but I will call that, ‘tough love.’ When I was in my darkest battle, He said to me, ‘I will console you.’ That word and promise kept me going and He has started consoling me.

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown. Revelations 2:10

There is always light at the end of every tunnel. We must actively fight and participate in every battle that the Lord has called us to. No whimpering, murmuring, blaming or complaining. When called to battle, rise up with your weapons and swords, obediently, and fight even if it means that you pray several hours at night. Just fight. Fight even to the point of death – that is more honorable than not fighting at all.

Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass,

When the Lord has not commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High

That woe and well-being proceed (Lamentations 3:37 – 3:38 NKJV)

Brethren, what evil are you allowing in your lives today? The victory is within you if you can rise up like a warrior and approach Gods throne for a change. He does not want you to put up with it, He wants to help you. However, ultimately, He wants you to be constantly filled with His Spirit. When you are filled and covered with His hedge or protection, you will be empowered to win every battle.

If you are under fire from the camp of the enemy and adversary, you have a deliverer and saviour – Jesus. He is challenging you today, to rise up in faith, prayer and persistence until you experience victory and deliverance. Have the faith of a Lion and pray like a tiger. Tear the enemy in pieces with the power of the Lord, like a tiger until the enemy dissolves into nothingness.

Don’t look back or pity the enemy, the enemy is not pitying you. Fight to finish and win. The battle line was drawn even before you were born – you did not draw it so don’t run away because even if you run away, the battle will be there, waiting for you, growing wilder and fiercer, till it overpowers you. Battle is an inevitable part of life.

May the Lord give you a Lions heart to fight on your knees and persist until you are victorious. After victory comes the crown of life, righteousness and peace.

The wicked

Proudly glory in their

Powers

They bend their bows

And invoke their demons

On unsuspecting

Innocent victims

But the Lord

is our refuge

And strength

The Lord hates evil

He hates the wicked

And those who love violence

He will judge

And avenge

Because

He loves justice

The righteous will

See His face

And taste His glory

Psalm 11

For the director of music. Of David.

In the Lord I take refuge.
    How then can you say to me:
    “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
For look, the wicked bend their bows;
    they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
    at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed,
    what can the righteous do?”

The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
    his eyes examine them.
The Lord examines the righteous,
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.
On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;
    a scorching wind will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,
    he loves justice;
    the upright will see his face.

Psalm 10

Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
    Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

His mouth is full of lies and threats;
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
    they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;
    he covers his face and never sees.”

12 Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
    Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
    Why does he say to himself,
    “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
    you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;
    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
    that would not otherwise be found out.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;
    the nations will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed

And afflicted

He will never forsake us

He will hear our prayers

And overtake our enemies

In the place of judgement

He will crown us with mercy

And beautify us with His eternal love

Psalm 9

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
For you have upheld my right and my cause,
    sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;
    even the memory of them has perished.

The Lord reigns forever;
    he has established his throne for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness
    and judges the peoples with equity.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
    proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

13 Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
    Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare your praises
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,
    and there rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.c]”>[c]
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,
    all the nations that forget God.
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

19 Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;
    let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.
