MAN SHALL LIVE. BY THE WORD

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 4:4 ” But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”.

When Satan came, tempting the Lord He replied with the word of God.

What would He have done if He knew not the word of God? Too many Christians are held captives by so many schemes of the devil because they do not have the right answers for the devil. Satan may attack one’s morals, finances, commitment to the work of God, health, and many more. The Christian must not be defeated in any of these cases. A lot of Christians have become failure-minded such that, they accept the saying “to err is human”. This mindset makes them easily give in to the advances of the devil.

Please child of God you are born an overcomer. 1st John 5:4 ” For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith”. You have been born an overcomer and must not accept any defeatist mentality, No! Get to know the truth, for the weapon of the enemy is lies. John 8:32 says “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. How can one know the truth if he or she does not take time to study and meditate on the scriptures? 2nd Timothy 2:15 instructs us as follows “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. The word “study” also means be “diligent “. It means do your best to show yourself approved unto God, right dividing the word of truth.

When you can rightly divide or apply the word you would have a ready answer for the devil whenever he shows up. The Lord Jesus was never found wanting when He was tempted, He spoke out the sword of the spirit, and the devil was cut to pieces.

Use the sword of the spirit rightly all the time and you would never be found wanting.

CONFESSION

The word of God is forever in my heart and on my lips, ready for any eventuality that shows up. By the word Satan and his demons are always cut into size.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Acts 4:19 ” But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye”.

Apostle Peter and John were arrested by the religious leaders for healing a lame man. They asked them (Peter and John) not to preach anymore in the name of Jesus. Our key scripture reveals the answer they gave them; “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye”. These men decided to commit or stay faithful to the word of God.
Life circumstances may bring our way many situations that put a lot of pressure on us, to choose to do what may please us. We must always choose to do what God has said. God and his word are one commitment to His word is a commitment to Him. We may be tempted to relate to others according to how they treat us, yet the word says, “We must forgive one another and be kind towards one another.” Romans 12:21 reads “Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good”.

We can not walk with God and continue to live by our flesh. To be fleshly minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8:6). It is a big irony to have a nation like Ghana as a Christian nation, yet a number of the public officers demand bribes before they would get their services executed. Contract fees are not paid promptly because these officers demand money before they make payments. Most of these officers are supposed to be Christians. No wonder it is claimed there is so much hardship. Such people have put the fleshly gains ahead of the word of God. This thing gets serious when pastors use all kinds of means to extort money from the congregation. Many organize programs with an agenda to make money. Remember what 1st Timothy 6:10 says “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some converted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”.

The flesh must never be allowed to rule and dominate us. Our commitment is to what God says, not what would make us feel comfortable at the expense of our spouses, and neighbors. And what have you?

The Christian is the salt of the earth. Salt must dissolve, that is, lose its state, so it could be beneficial to others. We are primarily givers, not takers. This is what God’s word demands of us.

PRAYER

O Father help the church to understand our role on the earth, to be the light that we are. Let your children esteem your word above all gains.

STAY WITH THE WORD

KEY SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 1:23 ” Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.”

All Christians are born again by the word of God. According to our key scripture, God’s word is an incorruptible seed.

Every creature has its habitat. Plants survive on the land because they are products of the land. The fish stays in the water because that is where it came from. James 1:18 reads “Of his will begat he us with the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures”. We have been begotten by the word of God. The word is a natural habitat. We are not products of reason and the senses.

It is a great temptation for several Christians to turn to the senses or reason. The senses comprise sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. These have become the normal sphere of acknowledgment for many Christians. It is wrong. The Bible says the just or the righteous ones would live by faith. (Romans 1:17). 2nd Corinthians 5:7 also reminds us that we walk by faith and not by sight”. The child of God must commit himself to the word of God. There is no victory for us if we allow nature to control us.

We as humans live in a natural world. There are a lot of things that come to us by virtue of the natural world. Things that have to do with purely our day-to-day natural world must be related to that plain. If the condition or event contradicts what the Bible says, then we must move away from the natural order of events to the word of God. In many of these cases, committing to the word may seem unreasonable, yet your outcome will be victorious.

When Daniel in the Bible was told that the King had made an irreversible decree that no one should ask anything from anyone for thirty days. Daniel decided to stay with the word. Doing that meant he would be thrown into a Lion’s den, yet he chose to do so. Daniel was committed to the word of God. He was tried and cast into the Lion’s den, yet the word prevailed. Daniel was not destroyed. Daniel 6.

Stay committed to the word of God.

CONFESSION

God’s word reigns supreme in the realm of the spirit. I believe in the word, irrespective of what I see feel, or hear. I reign in life because I am committed to the word.

TOTAL COMMITMENT

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 12:1 ” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

A life committed to the Lord is the safest way to live. Our key scripture says it is our reasonable service. This implies that every other way is unreasonable. When the Israelites were leaving Egypt, King Pharaoh suggested the children of Israel. Exodus 10:24 “And Pharaoh called unto Moses and said, go ye serve the Lord, only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you”. Pharaoh’s request is one of the biggest strategies of Satan. He tells you to serve God, yet for one Sunday in the month, just stay at home and rest. Serve God with all you have, but keep your money and don’t make sacrifices unto God. He may ask you to serve the Lord but just keep the worldly music or maybe some “x” films. (X-rated films are pornographic films). Satan says to serve God but leave something small for him.

Please listen to Moses’ answer to King Pharaoh. Exodus 10:26 “Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to serve the Lord….”. Dear child of God, let God have everything. Anything left for the devil leaves you in bondage to satan Everything given to God is your deliverance or your real freedom. The call of God is purely for our deliverance and liberty. Give everything over to the Lord. This is the most secure way to live. The Lord Jesus explained this in Matthew 16:25 this way “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it”. Don’t be wiser than the master. The man who fails to commit his whole life totally unto the Lord would lose it, although he may be attempting to secure it.

Satan is an enemy of all men. He is like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour. Who are those he may or can devour? Those who have decided not to yield their whole being to the Lord Jesus. Such a person has no shepherd over his soul. The enemy has the cheapest task to pounce on such a person and tear him or her apart. The Holy Spirit begs us in the key scripture to give ourselves totally to Him.

CONFESSION

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the opportunity to be yielded to you. My life is perfectly secured, and no devil can make a mess of me because the Lord is my shepherd.

RELATE TO GOD AS BABIES

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11:25 “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.”

Babies are the kind of people most of us would not want to become again. The Lord says in our key scripture that God hides the mysteries of the kingdom from the prudent but reveals them to little children or babies. The kingdom of God, according to the Lord Jesus, is for those who would be like babies. (Matt 19:14)A baby in the hand of his or her mother is the most stress-free person on the earth. He does not think about what to eat, his health is not a bother to him, and when he is in the arms of the mother he does not consider whether the mother would be able to carry him or not. The baby will sleep, taking no thought about anything. They always enjoy the best care and provision given to them.

God wants all his children to be like babies in His hands. The thoughts and ways of God are far and beyond man’s ways (Isaiah 55:9-10). The Bible reveals that God takes the things that are weak and those that are not to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). The prudent or the wise of this world can not relate with and enjoy God.

In our day-to-day lives, we just decide to be a baby in the arms of God. Allow the Holy Spirit to provide your daily needs as you trust and depend on him. King David said,’ The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want.’ Do you have any peculiar challenges? No condition comes along with worry or fear. Worry, fear, or stress are always reactions of people to the situations they face. Don’t allow it to be like a mountain before you. Babies believe their parents are too capable to handle any situation. ( Well in fact babies do not reason as I’m trying to say, yet symbolically their actions reveal that they fully trust the strength, and wisdom of their parents to see them through).

Dear brother or sister, decide to live a stress-free life, enjoying your moments in the comfort of the father’s mighty hands. There is nothing you cannot have. There is no protection you cannot enjoy and there is no answer to prayer you would not have if you would become a baby in God’s hands. He has consistently proven to be a very reliable father. Our greatest barrier to enjoying Him is our natural reasoning How can we overcome our instincts to reason up God’s ways? Anytime your mind starts analyzing God’s ways please speak to your mind to stop and align with God’s way, tell yourself that reasoning would take you away from God’s way. (Note I am only talking about being stress-free).

CONFESSION

I trust my life into God’s hands as a baby does. I have no worries or fears of any form. I rest fully in Him.

THE FAST GOD ACCEPTS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 58:6 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To lose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”

In the past few days, we have been looking at encountering the power of God to project God’s work. We saw that fasting and prayer can usher one into the great power of God.

The book of Isaiah chapter 58 (please read all the chapters) was solely devoted to the teaching of fasting having an acceptable fast. In that book, the prophet wrote in verse 3 the following “Wherefore have we fasted say they, and thou seest not?” Wherefore have we afflicted our soul and thou takest no knowledge? Behold in the day of your fast ye find pleasure and exact all your labours”. This was the complaint of God about the wrong ways they fasted

A close study of Isaiah 58 teaches that true fasting does not only involve forsaking your food and doing every other thing as you please. In that chapter, the Holy Spirit said, “People fast, yet they keep the strive and division that exist between them and their neighbours.” It is a big irony to see a husband and wife at longer heads, yet they are all fasting. Some fast yet would not show any kindness to neighbours who are in need. Isaiah 58:4 reads “Behold ye fast for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as you do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high”.

Fasting is not complete without a kind consideration of the second party. It must be done on God’s terms. Our key scripture shows us that our fast should not only be focused on ourselves but also consider the consideration of those who are in bondage. As we pray for our needs, we must consider those who are in various needs to pray and intercede for them also. True fasting is not a selfish venture. It always seeks the good and deliverance of others. When fasting is done this way, the Lord says in Isaiah 58:10 “And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness be as the noonday”.

Do good to others during the period of your fast. Do it in kind or through prayer.

PRAYER

Father, thank you for the revelation of your word. Help all Christians who fast to do it on your terms, not on our terms. This I pray in Jesus’ name.

DEMONSTRATING THE POWER OF GOD 2

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Co 11:2″7 KJV In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.”

In the above key scripture, apostle Paul reveals the difficulties, challenges and sacrifices that he had to go through or endure in order to be more effective in his service of the Lord or to maintain his faith against diverse oppositions.

He talked about hunger and fasting. Hunger is a moment when one wishes to eat, yet because there is no available food one stays hungry. fasting is rather the opposite. In fasting, food may be available yet one chooses not to eat in order to seek the face of God in prayer and the meditation on God’s word. Fasting is therefore a sacrifice in which one humbles his soul before God for a more effective service. We see throughout the scriptures that all the servants of God who were very effective in the hands of God fasted. Apostle Paul was greatly used by the Spirit of God in the demonstration of the power of GodAct 19:11 KJV “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:”
He said in our key scripture that he fasted often.

In our previous study, we said God uses vessels that are dead to themselves. Remember God’s fire would come only if there is blood of sacrifice on the mercy seat. Fasting is a form of sacrificing or slaying one’s life for the Lord.

Now let’s consider some men and women of God who were powerfully used by the Lord in their days.

Charles G Finney was an American Presbyterian minister ( 1792-1875) ŵas mightily used by God. This man would fast for three days without food and water before visiting a city to preach there. Even before reaching the city a wave of conviction of sin and subsequent repentance would fall on the people. There were instances when people would be slain under the power of the Spirit even before he met them.

Evangelist T L Osborne after his failed .mission to India came back home to America and started seeking the Lord in days and weeks of fasting. The Lord Jesus appeared physically to him and mandated him to go and manifest God’s healing grace to his generation. He started holding mass meetings with great signs and wonders in over seventy nations across the globe.

Kathryn Kuhlman, a woman who dedicated herself unto the Lord was powerfully used by the Lord in diverse healing of all kinds of diseases. She made a comment to Dr Myles Munroe that it is all about fasting and prayer. This woman of God would be ministering and she would just levitate and be suspended in the air after some moments.

Evangelist A A Allen who encountered the resurrected Jesus in a time of fasting and prayer was told by the Lord that a servant is not greater than the master, and that to experience the ways of the master, the servant must go the way of the master. This man of God fasted forty days on the water without food on a number of occasions and was powerfully used by the Lord to deliver men from all kinds of medically incurable cases.

Apostle Joseph Babalola of Christ Apostolic Church in Nigeria fasted forty days on water on a number of occasions. There was an occasion when he had to stop praying directly for the sick because there were too many. He found a river, prayed over it, and everyone who was sick just had to enter or fetch some to drink, and they were all healed. There was an occasion in which he felt thirsty but could find no water body to get some He had to hit a rock with his palm like Moses did and water gashed out for him to drink.

There are countless men and women who are living in our times manifesting God’s great miracle power because they fasted RIGHTLY.

Please remember that it is not just the act of fasting and prayer that ushers one into God’s power but a decision to honour God with your life.

THOUGHT: IF YOU WOULD SEEK THE LORD, YOU WOULD ENCOUNTER HIM.

DEMONSTRATING THE POWER OF GOD

KEY SCRIPTURE: 1Co 2:4 KJV” And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:”

Apostle. Paul’s letter to the church of Corinth had lots of issues to correct about them. It seemed these brethren lacked lots of spiritual understanding. In chapter three of this same book he writes as follows 3:1 KJV” And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.” These brethren had to encounter the power of God, so their faith would be In the Lord and in His power, and not in enticing words of man’s wisdom. Corinth having two harbours was a commercial city with lots of activities going on there. These trends of affairs had a direct effect on the church. Our world with the current information advancement and technology has modelled a society that is very unbelieving. As the Lord Jesus said, it needs miracles to believe. Matt 12:39.

The church of God must brace itself up to meet the challenge of proving God’s power with signs and wonders so that the faith of men would not rest in philosophies and motivational teachings but in the power of God. The truth is that miracles signs and wonders advertise the gospel more easily than a thousand messages. Jesus fame went abroad because of the great miraculous signs and wonders that he did. In Matt 8:34, the bible says the whole city came to meet Jesus because of the miracle of setting the demoniac lunatic man free.

What ushers one into this miracle ministry? The miracle ministry is a demonstration that God’s fire is blazing upon a man. In the Old Testament, God’s fire always comes from the blood that is placed on the mercy seat. Ex 25:22 KJV” And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.” Whenever the high priest offers the blood of a slain animal God’s presence comes as fire over the mercy seat with the blood on it. He then speaks through that fire to the high priest.
The fire of God always comes on the life that is slain for Him.

Any man that would bear the fire of God must be given over to seeking glory in the name of God. This sense of being slain for God drives him to long periods of prayer and fasting. Please note: it is not just praying and fasting that brings this approval of God’s miracle power, but a desire to see the name of the Lord glorified and a subsequent dedication of your life to fasting and prayer that ushers you into this miracle ministry.

MINISTRATION OF LIFE VERSES THE MINISTRATION OF DEATH

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 3:9 ” For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.”

We continue with the comparison between the life and encounters in the New Testament and that of the Old.

The ministration of the Old Testament or the law is called the ministration of condemnation. Some Christians pray and wish we were in the times of Moses and Elijah. Those times, according to the revelation of the Holy Spirit given to Apostle Paul, are called the ministration of condemnation. Moses walked in the glory and power of God, yet that glory was described as a passing glory. (1st Corinthians 3:7)

If the Moses era that manifested so much of the glory of God was called the ministration of condemnation, how much more would the ministration of righteousness be more glorious? Romans 8:1 says,” There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit”. The statement ‘who walk not after the flesh ‘ simply means those who live by faith. Living by faith is living by the word of God. The period of condemnation was the period when men lived by their works. They lived according to their self-efforts or by the flesh.

Living by the flesh, living by sight or by human reasoning places you in condemnation. No one can be justified by living according to the senses. The just shall always live by faith. (Rom 1:17) Faith in God places a man in the ministration of the Spirit or ministration of righteousness. Righteousness is the same word as justification in the Greek language. The life of true glory and power is never by one’s effort but by purely relying on the word of God revealed about our Lord Jesus. The glory of the New Testament is the glory of our Lord Jesus, and we have received that glory by faith.

Now, please notice this; the word ministration also means service or servicing. It also means dispensing as a drug attendant dispenses his drugs. In the New Testament, we dispense, minister, or serve by the Spirit. Everything about us should never proceed from self-effort. Life under the New Testament is counting on the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ to do all things. It means believing in the Lord Jesus, counting on what he is and has done to be ours. We live by His victory over sin. We live by his carrying away all our sicknesses to live in health. We live by his power to defeat the enemy. This is the glorious ministry of the New Testament.

Please note that, in the New Testament, we are one with Christ ( 1st Corinth 6:17) . If a witch doctor using divination should call the Spirit of a Christian to destroy or harm him, it is Jesus himself who would appear because that is our true personality. This is the difference between life under the old covenant and that of the new.

CONFESSION

I thank God for the new covenant. Now it is Christ living through me as I count on Him. This is a more glorious ministry because it’s Christ alive in me. I live by my faith in Him and He powerfully functions through me. Glory be to God.

GOD OUR SUFFICIENCY, AN AMAZING REVELATION

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Co 3:5 KJV “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;”

Christianity is the answer to the human failure. It is an initiation into a life of a superior influence. 2 Peter 1:4 KJV ” Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” This verse tells us that through our encounter with the truths of scripture, we become partakers of the divine nature, and as a result, we escape the corruption that is in the world. To know that God, the creator of the heavens and the earth is our sufficiency should put our minds to rest about anything that may appear to threaten, or look unsurmountable. With such a knowledge that Jesus is our sufficiency, we stop fighting any opposition or challenge by ourselves or might. We face every one of them knowing that it is actually God or Christ Himself handling these matters through us.

This was the insight David the anointed King, yet a shepherd boy knew and evidently acknowledged. He told the giant Goliath 1Sa 17:45 KJV” Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” David knew the Lord was his sufficiency, and so the battle was a forgone conclusion. He was the victor even before the contest. David was so sure of victory that he ran to face that giant. He was never disappointed.
God would always honour His word whenever we approach any opposition, knowing that He is our sufficiency.

There are many Christians who are living under various forms of torment emanating from all kinds of worries. Many are tormented by fears of all kinds. The fear of shame, sicknesses that are afflicting them, debts of all levels and some non-existent ones. All these torments come to them because they have not acknowledged that God is their sufficiency.

Dear child of God the very moment you accept in truth that Jesus is your sufficiency, every tormenting fear will lose its grip over you. You would instantly be free, and the Lord will deal with the situation for you.

Apostle Babalola of blessed memory was praying in a bush when he saw a huge python approaching him. He continued praying even after the creature attempted coiling around him. This beast was stricken by the power of God and died. The man of God knew Jesus was his sufficiency and did not fear at all about the threat posed by the creature. Nothing can harm you when you trust the Lord.

CONFESSION

God the monarch of the universe is my sufficiency. I do not face life by my might or ability. His presence and power have now taken over everything about me. There is nothing dangerous that I fear. There is nothing too big for me to overcome. I live a life of perfect peace. Glory be to God.
