TRUE LOVE GIVES

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Mark 12:30, and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Every lover gives to the one he or she loves. Lovers of God give to God their worship. True worship is always an expression of our love for the Father. Lovers of God will always worship in spirit and truth John 4:24. Ministering to the Lord is an outward expression of our love for the Father. It is not dry and dull, but rather emotional and passionate.

A good picture of this experience is how dogs behave when they encounter their master. These dogs, dance, fall to the ground, kiss the fingers of their master, and truly adore them. You cannot give true worship if you do not sincerely love the Father. Remember that the angels perpetually worship the Lord, singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord (Isaiah 6:3, Revelation 4:8).

God created us for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). God delights that we worship Him out of the abundance of our love for Him. Note: God knows the true state of every heart. Some only pay lip service. This does no good to you.

God always responds to every sincere worship. God responded to Paul and Silas when they worshiped from the dungeon of the prison. Acts 16:25–31. King Jehoshaphat and His people were saved from their enemies because they worshiped the Lord in that moment of crisis. 2 Chronicles 20:1-22.

Worshiping the Lord should be done at all times. In challenging times we must intensify our worship. The Lord is always excited to see his children worship Him in truth. Don’t turn to the difficult times and allow them to control you. Maintain your composure and keep blessing the Lord with your whole being. David was an outstanding winner in life because he was a true lover who expressed it in worship in his love for the Lord.

Win always by worshiping always.

CONFESSION

How great you are O God, you live by yourself and do not need anyone to counsel you. Be magnified and exulted above the heaven. My soul will forever love you and extol you.

DEMONSTRATING THE POWER OF GOD 2

Leave a comment

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.

GOD REWARDS HELPERS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 6:10 “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

God is faithful and would not forget the labour of every helper. The role of a helper always calls for sacrifices often without any physical rewards from the church. Many are tempted to give up.

There have been instances in which some helpers have been dishonoured, mistreated, or despised. This may cause a helper to become bitter and decide to stop his activities. Dear brother or sister who have been of help to the body of Christ, or a man of God under whom you have served yet you’ve been maligned, mistreated or despised. Understand you are not serving a man, but you are serving our Lord Jesus Christ. The church is the body of Christ (1st Corinthians 12:27). Anything you do for the church is done for the Lord Jesus.

Our key scripture says God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which you have shown towards his name, in that ye served the saints. God is a rewarder. Nobody does a kind deed for God that He (God) does not reward. When the Lord used Peter’s boat, He asked them to cast their net for a drought. Although they had failed to catch any fish earlier, Peter obeyed and caught so much that fishing partners had to come to help them draw the catch. This even caused their net to break.

In 1st Corinthians 15:58 apostle Paul exhorts as follows, “Therefore my beloved brethren be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord”. Dear helper in the house of God, your labour is never going to be in vain. God would reward your great sacrifices. Never lose sight of your rewards. Now note this: there are two phases of God’s rewards. There is the reward you receive here on this earth, and there is the reward you receive in heaven. In Mark 10:29-30 the Lord Jesus taught His disciples that anyone who sacrifices his life to serve him shall receive a hundredfold of all that, he or she has forsaken, including brothers and sisters with persecution. God does not wait till you get to heaven before you are rewarded. He will certainly “pay” you here in your lifetime and then in heaven.

CONFESSION

I would never give up on any good work I am doing for the Lord. God is a rewarder for all those who would diligently seek Him. I would certainly have my reward here in this life as well as in the world to come.

POWER GIFTS: GIFTS OF HEALING

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 12:9. ” To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; “

The “gifts of healing” is the only gift that is expressed in the plural. It is not the gift of healing. Rather, it is the gifts of healing.

Why isn’t it stated as just “gift” but “gifts”? There are so many categories of sicknesses, and although one may be graced to heal several sicknesses, he finds it very easy, to heal a particular kind of sickness. Some people sing, and several people would be getting healed. Some have a particular dance that they do that people would be healed. I know of some ministers who would bless water for people to take, and they are made whole. The only requirement is that all these should be done in the name of the Lord and to His glory. Could there be a person who is graced to heal every kind of sickness? I believe it is possible. The scripture says to God that all things are possible. Since He appointed His servants and declared that greater works than what He did, would they do (John 14:12). I believe He can use someone to heal all manner of diseases. The Bible also says all things are possible to him who believes. If you can believe all things will be possible for you.

As I said earlier, there are certain ministers who minister to certain cases more easily than others. The servant of God may be used to heal several sicknesses, but when it comes to a particular condition, there is almost always a breakthrough. The late evangelist T.L. Osborn was used mightily by the Lord to touch many lives. There were divers healings in His meetings, yet the deaf and dumb always predominated over those are set free.

Others are exceptionally successful when it comes to delivering the oppressed from demons.

The gifts of healing always attract a lot of glory and human praise. One must be very careful to always give God the glory when the Lord uses him or her in the healing of the sick. As we all know no man heals anybody. It is the Holy Spirit working through us. We must be careful always to give God the glory.

The story is told of one man of God in the mid-twentieth century called Stephen Jeffrey from Welsh, who was so mightily used by God to touch many lives. One condition he easily handled was rheumatoid arthritis. This man remarked one day that the whole world was at his feet. Within a short moment, he was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis. The very condition he used to heal with ease. He died of this sickness.

Let’s always give the glory to God. To Him belong all praise, the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER
Father, all glory, power, and praise belong to you. You do all things to glorify your name. May you be praised forever more.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: 1 Timothy 6:12″ Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses”.

This verse (1st Timothy 6:12)reveals the real fight of Christians. Our fight is not against demons. Demons work to ground our faith, but we must work to keep our faith active. So long as your faith is active, no devil can stop you. (Mark 9:23). All things are possible to Him that has faith.

Every child of God must focus on building his faith strong in the Lord. It is your faith that overcomes the world, including devils and Satan himself (1st John 5:4). Our key scripture says we must fight the good fight of faith. It is a good fight. It is the kind of fight that gets you hooked up to God and brings His help and power to you. It is called a good fight.

A look at our key scripture from the Greek gives a different meaning for the two words fight. The first fight is”agonizomai” in the Greek language,
. It means “to enter into a contest” and the second fight is ” agon”which also means a place of a fight or an ‘assembly’ as an arena for a contest. What that scripture suggests is that as a Christian, you are in an arena for a fight, and you have no option but to fight. Many children of God are doing nothing about their faith, and as a result, the enemy is having an advantage over them.

To fight the good fight of faith means to keep your faith alive and active against contrary situations that seek to put you down. The essence of the fight of faith is not to cast away your confidence in the Lord in times of trials and difficulty. Hebrews 10:35,” Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward”. Our faith is expected to triumph in every encounter that we may face. We are advised not to cast away our confidence but to fight to maintain our faith.

We engage in this fight as we feed on the word of God and declare with our mouths what the Bible says about that particular situation and then take a stand on what the Scripture says. It could be a persecution of your faith; you must maintain your declarations of the scriptures to keep your faith standing. It could be any other challenge that the enemy may raise against you. In all these, declare God’s word boldly to yourself and the devil, keep your faith alive and you will ultimately triumph. Do not complain and murmur. If you do so, it would be suicidal to your faith.

CONFESSION

I keep my faith active and alive in all times of challenges by declaring God’s word to myself and the situation. My faith continually triumphs over all difficulties.

HOW TO PRAY RIGHTLY FOR CHRISTIANS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:18 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

A very vital part of the spiritual warfare is praying for all Christians. The enemy has the advantage when the church is divided and weak. A strong United Church means Strong individual members.

Apostle Paul in almost all of his epistles prayed for the churches. He longed to see all the churches grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord.

The following are some of the prayer points He prayed for the churches and we could also learn from them and pray likewise for fellow believers worldwide.

1st Corinthians 1:6-8

Pray that the testimony of Christ may be confirmed in the brethren.
Pray that the Christians come behind in no gift as they wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pray that they would be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (that is at His coming).

Ephesians 1:15-19

Continue to thank God for the life of all saints.
Ask that our Heavenly Father will give unto the saints the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
Pray that their eyes of understanding would be flooded with light, that they may know what the hope of their calling is.
Pray that they may also know what is the riches of the glory of Christ’s inheritance in the saints.
Pray that they may also know the exceeding greatness of His power to them which believe, which is according to the working of His mighty power which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead.

Ephesians 3:14-19

Pray that God would, out of His riches of His glory, strengthen all believers with might by His Spirit in the inner man.
Pray that Christ will dwell in their hearts by faith
Pray that they would be rooted and grounded in love.
Pray that they would comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height of the love of God.
Pray that they would know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, and that they would be filled with all the fullness of God

Philippians 1:9-11

Pray that the love of Christians would abound more and more.
Pray that their love will also abound in knowledge and in all judgement.
Pray that they may approve of things that are excellent.
Pray that they may be sincere and live without offence till the day of Christ.
Pray that they would be filled with the fruits of righteousness through our Lord Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

The above prayer points are some of the prayer points we could be praying for fellow Christians and ourselves as well. These are scriptural and are of the Spirit. The need to pray for fellow believers is essential in these last days that Satan had vomited every kind of unclean thing to deceive and to defile.

PRAYER

I pray the spirit of the Lord will stir in the hearts of all believers a strong desire to intercede for one another and to do it scripturally in the name of the Lord Jesus I have prayed. Amen.

BE AN INTERCESSOR FOR ALL CHRISTIANS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:18 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

In part “b” of the key scripture the apostle admonishes all believers to maintain a habit of praying for all Christians. He says they must watch there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

The church is a body of believers. We form a mighty army fighting on behalf of our master on the earth to manifest His glory by bearing fruits of righteousness and saving souls for heaven. The church is not only the congregation you belong to. It is the body of all believers in Jesus our Lord worldwide. Satanic onslaught is against the church as a whole. As much as he attacks individuals his prime motive is to weaken the bigger body so it will not be effective in its core mandate.

When you realise believers are not passionate about winning the lost, then there is a need for persistent prayers for the church. When various denominations compete with each other about how big their congregations are, or how big their church building is, then there is a great need for intercession. It becomes more serious when the church becomes lukewarm, Christian’s are worldlier and a desire for a holy life is very remote to a number of Christians.

The call to be watchful, that is stay up and not to sleep so you would pray for the church is very vital. He said we must persevere in our prayers for the saints. Why persevere? Because it is one of the areas the devil fears so much is when Christians start praying for one another. Most believers have become so selfish. ‘ It is me and my church or worse still me and my family.’

Dear child of God, God our Father does not see His body as a divided people, but one body. It is we men who see ourselves as different groupings. Before God, it is one big body. The need for a strong, body committed to its call mandate is necessary. The Lord desires that the church would be a ready bride that is awaiting His coming without spot or wrinkle. Stop looking down on other denominations. Stop saying “This or that church is weak.” “That so called weak church is that one big body with that weak part and needs strengthening.” Make it your task to seek the Lord’s face till His fire comes upon them all, so we will have that one strong body of believers.

PRAYER

O God our Father open our eyes to know and understand your passion for a well and strong body of saints, conquering the forces of darkness to lift high your banner in these last days. Touch our hearts to intercede for one another till we see that change you desire for your body.

PRAY WITH ALL PRAYER

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:18 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

We are instructed to pray always with all prayer in the Spirit. The word ‘in” is translated from the Greek word “EN” which could mean ‘in’, ‘by’ or ‘with’. The scripture is asking us to pray with all prayer by the ability or with the agency of the Spirit.

He asks us to pray with all prayer.

There are various kinds of prayer. These include:

The prayer of faith
The prayer of intercession
The prayer of supplication
The travailing prevailing prayer.
The prayer of consecration or commitment
The prayer of agreement
The prayer of praise and worship
United prayer

These are various kinds of prayers, having specific ways for their operations (You may refer to our series of teachings from March 2017).

We are called to pray all kinds of prayer in the Spirit or with the Spirit. According to 1st Corinthians 14:14, we pray with the Spirit by praying in tongues. Some have also explained that praying in the Spirit is praying according to the word of God. Well, whatever is done according to the word of God in faith is by or in the Spirit. Praying in tongues is a direct way to allow the Holy Spirit to voice out various requests and touch on important areas that the natural mind cannot know or deal with.

Some people easily speak against praying in tongues because they do not understand what is said, so it does not make sense to them. This is most unfortunate. Dear child of God please get this basic principle in relating with God straight. You do not relate to God based on reason or understanding. According to 1st Corinthians 1:21 “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe”. Dear child of God, pray a lot in tongues for other brethren and yourself as well. The Bible clearly states that when a man speaks in tongues, he does not understand what he says, but in the Spirit, he speaks mysteries. (1st Corinthians 14:2). These mysteries are matters that are hidden from the natural mind but very vital and on the right issues to be prayed on.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray for all believers that they may stand strong and fulfil their call mandates in their lifetimes. May they approve of things that are excellent and bear the fruits of righteousness unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus? In Jesus’ name, I have prayed.

PRAY ALWAYS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:18 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

In our key scripture, the Holy Spirit tells us to employ prayer as a vital part of the spiritual war. He did not give any specific symbol within the armour but gave us clearly how we must approach this great act of praying.

He said prayer must be made always. Prayer is indispensable for the Christian. Prayer gives God access to intervene in the affairs of men. Prayer creates a channel for the divine to fully impact the natural. In Luke 18:1 the Bible reported our Lord Jesus said the following to the disciples “And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint”. The emphasis is on praying always and not to give up. As men, we would continually have to rely on God to conquer the wicked unseen adversaries.

Our Lord Jesus kept a consistent prayer life. He was so committed to His prayers that His disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Apostle Paul wrote to the brethren in Rome and said the following “Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulations, continuing instant in prayer.” Romans 12:12.

A consistent praying Christian will have a successful life. Persistence in prayer is a sign of one’s faith in the Lord. The Lord asked after talking about the need to persist in prayer, the following question. “…. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

One major attack of the devil on a lot of Christians is to occupy them with all kinds of concerns. They get so occupied such that they just don’t know how to maintain a consistent prayer life. The worst people are those who are so busy working for God, and yet they do not have enough time to wait in the presence of the Father. Some are so busy preaching, meeting people, counselling, and visiting, and yet they will not have the time to pray. Dear child of God, this is extremely dangerous. The Lord is your strength. The Lord is your guide and guard. Your main access to all these is prayer. In Mark 3:14 the Bible said “And he ordained twelve that they should be with Him and that he might send them forth to preach”.

Your calling is to first be with the Lord before you are sent forth to work for Him.

Don’t put the cart before the horse. It is prayer, prayer and prayer before the rest would come.

CONFESSION
I pray always. I do not allow anything to take the place of prayer in my life. I am strengthened in my prayer, guarded and guided, all in prayer.

EFFECTIVENESS WITH THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:17b “…. and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God“

The word of God encourages us to use the sword of the Spirit as an offensive weapon against the enemy. The question is how do we effectively do this?

We must speak the word against the devil in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:17 “And whatsoever ye do in the word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.“

Speaking the word in His name is not a full stop to our prayer. It is also not a tradition. Using the name of the Lord when declaring the word of God against the devil was instructed by the Lord Himself John 14:13 “And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the father may be glorified in the son”. He made a significant and strong statement here “Whatsoever” you shall ask or demand in my name; I will do it. On this occasion, He is not talking about prayer. It is a command demanding a change to be effected. The Lord said, in that instant, He would do it. (Note; It is a prayer if you ask the Father in Jesus’ name John 16:23)

Making a demand in the name of the Lord is just like Him calling for that change to be effected.

Every child of God must study the word of God to rightly apply it in the time of need. One area in which the devil will seek to attack the child of God is his mind. It is one of the prime areas of satanic attacks. The enemy may introduce images to create fear, something to get you worried, an evil thought, sinful thoughts or any thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. You must get the right scriptures to refute it and then command that devil to leave you in the name of Jesus. The scripture in 2nd Corinthians 10:4&5 says “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down every high thing or imagination that exalts itself above the knowledge of God”.

Whenever you speak the word of God against a wrong thought, the word displaces that evil word introduced into your mind by the enemy. You then command him to depart from you in the name of the Lord.

Whenever the enemy raises any attack against you, declare to him whatever God has said concerning that situation in the name of the Lord. When you do so, know that the Lord Himself comes to act on that word according to His promise. (John 14:14) keep resisting till he leaves you.

CONFESSION

I speak forth the word of God in the name of the Lord Jesus. As I do this miracles are wrought in His name. Situations bow because the Lord Himself comes to act on those words.
