Topic: Receive And Experience 2 [Tuesday, 2nd May 2017]

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

There is no doubting that the good Lord has prepared wonderful things for us who love Him. Scripture is explicit in stating this truth in 1 Corinthians 2:9. But receiving and experiencing what the Lord has prepared for us is something that most of us have not come into. That is why we are not experiencing the wonderful blessings the Lord has prepared for us. Scriptures says “no eyes has seen, no ears has heard, no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

If the things God has prepared for us is still out of the realm of our human perception, then for us to know these things, receive and experience them, we need the enabling of a Higher Being. Now, if the blessings of God to us are spiritual, according to Ephesians 1:3, then we need the Holy Spirit to reveal them to us.This means that, the first step to receiving and experiencing what God has prepared for us is to get the revelation of them and this revelation is by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10 says that God reveals the things He has prepared for us by Holy Spirit.

When we encounter revelation from the Holy Spirit, He brings to our human perception the things the Lord has prepared for us who love Him. Then we can see, ear, and perceive them. They now become palpable substance and evidently known to us. And we know that faith is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Whatever we are able to see, hear and perceive, we can receive and experience. Revelation of the things God has prepared for us brings manifestation.

Keep winning daily.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, thank You for Your Spirit that reveals to me all that you have prepared for me. With these revelations, I receive and experience Your spiritual blessings daily, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Topic: The Significance of Spiritual Garment [Tuesday May 2, 2017]

Scripture: Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. Zechariah 3:3

Thought For The Day: A person’s garment can be a mark of his or her authority.

In the realm of the spirit, everyone is considered to be clothed with one form of garment or the other. That is what we see from our anchor Scripture: Joshua the high priest was physically clothed with a dignifying priestly garment to carry out his assignment, but in the spiritual realm, he wore a filthy garment (Zechariah 3:1-5).

It is important, therefore, to note that what we are wearing in the spirit realm is far more significant than what we wear in the physical.

A garment signifies many things; let us note a few of them:

1. Identity: Garment defines identity. For example, when you see a nurse in uniform, you do not need to be told who he or she is.

2. Dignity: Garment signifies dignity. A well-dressed individual is considered a dignified person while a shabbily dressed person loses respect before people.

3. Authority: A person’s garment can be a mark of his or her authority. The authority level of a soldier is confirmed by his or her uniform.

4. Garment reflects prosperity: When you see a wealthy person, what he or she wears most times shows that he or she is a prosperous person.

Beloved, what garment are you wearing? How are you dressed in the realm of the spirit?

I decree the covering of the garment of dignity, authority, prosperity and purity on your life in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: A person’s garment can be a mark of his or her authority.

Assignment(s):

1. Ask God to change every filthy garment on your life.

2. Repent from every sin in your life.

3. Ask God to clothe you with the garment of holiness.

Prayer: O LORD, I ask that You clothe me with the garment of holiness. I confess and repent from every sin in my life, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Train Your Spirit [Tuesday May 2, 2017]

It [grace] has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world. – Titus 2:12, The Amplified Bible

When an athlete goes into training, he practices to improve his skills. He works hard, repeating the same motions over and over until they become what we’d call “second nature” to him.

Most of us understand how crucial that kind of training is in the physical realm. We know that you simply can’t be a winner without it. But did you know we can train ourselves that same way where spiritual things are concerned?

That’s right! Hebrews 5:14 says we can train our senses to discern between good and evil. When you train, or practice, for something, you expose yourself daily to whatever it is you want to become. You practice it over and over until it becomes second nature to you. People who are lazy have practiced being lazy. People who are disciplined have practiced being disciplined.

Spending time with God is “spirit” practice. As you do it diligently, your spirit will grow stronger and will start to overcome the habits of the flesh.

If, for example, you have trouble getting up in the morning to spend time with God before the busyness of the day begins, if you’ve been giving in to your flesh and staying in bed, then you’ll have to start practicing getting up. The more you practice it, the easier it will be.

Don’t expect yourself to do it perfectly right from the beginning. Don’t get discouraged when you stumble and fail. You’re just out of practice. Get back on your feet and go at it again!

Become a spiritual athlete. Put yourself in training by practicing the things of God. Build your spirit muscles through fellowship with Him. You will be surprised to find just how much of a winner you can be.

Topic: God Is in Nature [Tuesday May 2, 2017]

When I consider thy heavens . . . — Psalm 8:3

To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it. For instance, it is revealed that one single snowflake in a snowstorm with millions of other snowflakes is the equivalent of twenty billion electrons. Scientists are learning that the miniature world of a single living cell is as astonishing as man himself. God says that we can learn a great deal about Him just by observing nature. Because He has spoken through His universe, all men are without excuse for not believing in Him. This is why the Psalmist said, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).

Prayer for the day: The infinitesimal beauty of Your creation speaks to my heart of the certainty of Your presence, almighty and everlasting God.

Topic: The Secret of Honour in Marriage! (5)

Dear Reader,

It has been a wonderful time with the Holy Spirit, since we started this teaching on the secret of honour in marriage.  In the past weeks, we’ve been exploring some factors that make for honour in marriage, which is keeping the marriage bed undefiled.

This week, as we round off this teaching, I’ll like to quickly unlock a particular key that makes for an honourable marriage.

Though keeping the marriage bed undefiled is the secret to honour in marriage, yet some homes, even after doing that still experience dishonour in marriage.  So, in this edition, to enjoy all-round honourable marriage, however, husband and wife must always be in agreement, as it is the key that unlocks the door to honourable marriage.

Disagreement between husband and wife shuts the door to honour in marriage.  That’s why God’s Word says: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 18:19).

The struggles and ultimate failure experienced in many marriages, today, are traceable to lack of agreement in the home.  The devil takes special delight in breaking down agreement in the home, because he knows that once disagreement has crept in between a couple, their marriage is at stake.

My husband and I are always in agreement, so there is no way the devil can come between us or into our home.  Since we are in agreement, we enjoy honourable marriage.  I remember my husband showing me what the Bible says in Genesis 2:18: And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.  I am, in essence, a help meet for him.  I agreed with him, and we have not had the first argument to date!

Until husband and wife are in agreement, honour in marriage is impossible.  Working in agreement with your spouse is triggered by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.  This is what new birth is all about.  If you are ready to do that, say this prayer of faith: “Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”

If you prayed this simple prayer, you are now a child of God. He loves you and will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God’s Word and seek Christian fellowship (John 14:21).

A Promise For You From Bible Promises:

Topic:  A Brand New Eyes [01/05/2017]

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. Genesis 21:19. Read: Jn 9:1-9

The vision is located in our sight. When man is blind physically, he is Limited in so many things of life. In the Bible, you find out that many that were blind turned out to be a beggar. Blind Bartimeuas was a beggar, but when his sight were restored by Jesus Christ, he stopped begging. Mk 10:46-52. The man born blind in our Bible reading was also a beggar, when he also received his sight, he stopped begging too. This means that physical blindness turns one into what he don’t actually want.

But there is blindness that is more worse than physical blindness, it’s spiritual blindness. It’s better to be physically blind than to be spiritually blind. Spiritual blindness is a chronic disease that requires immediate and urgent attention, else, it turns to frustration. When you are spiritually blind, you miss opportunities at random, even when they are around you, you won’t see them. Hegar (Abraham mistress) couldn’t see a well of water beside her when her son was dying of thirst because she was spiritually blind until God opened her eyes to see. In this New Month, you need the Lord to open your spiritual eyes to see new opportunities round you. You’ve got to plead with God to give you brand new eyes to Possess your Possessions.

#BiblePromisesPrayer

* In this New Month, God Almighty will give you brand new eyes to regain all your lost opportunities and secure new ones

* You shall be divinely made this New Month of May in Jesus name. Happy New Month

Topic: The Ultimate Satisfaction [Monday May 1, 2017]

As for me I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with the likeness. – Psalm.17.15

Many people think that what they need is money.

Some others think that what they need is job, fame or position.

But the ultimate satisfaction is to be in the likeness of God.

He put His image and likeness in us; so we are compelled to keep longing for Him. Genesis 1.26,27

The face of God is the cure to the shame of man.

No shame remains with a man who continually beholds the face of God.  Psalm.34.5

The face of God brings change to man. 2 Corinthians 3.18

The face of God is the favour of God-Psalm.30.7, Numbers.6.23-27.

The face of God is our ultimate satisfaction.

Keep looking at Him to ultimately look like Him.

Topic: Use the Keys [Monday May 1, 2017]

…They who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing. — Psalm 34:10

Jesus said, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven (Matthew 16:19).

As a believer, you have authority to live a life of victory and to forbid the devil to torment you. It is not lawful for him to destroy you in heaven, so it is not lawful for him to destroy you during your days on earth. Use the keys of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus has passed to you. Loose God’s blessings upon your efforts and bind the evil works that come against the fruit of your labors today.
