Philippians 3:13
"...But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead."

Meditation
Many people don’t fully understand what it means to forget the past. One definition of the word "forget" is "to disregard intentionally, or to overlook." You have to intentionally disregard your past so that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad. If we’re not careful, even our past victories can keep us from rising higher if we get too comfortable where we are. God wants to take us from glory to glory, but if we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new. It’s time to forget what lies behind. Put it away once and for all. When you release it, it’s an act of your faith. Focus all your energy on moving forward. Trust that God has new levels of victory, peace, and favor. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you forget what lies behind and press forward, you will see the abundant life the Lord has in store for you! Amen

Genesis 1.3,4

Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

Dear Friend in Christ,  understand the above scripture, you will know how God created the universe. "God had created the heaven and the earth; the earth was without form and void; darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." (Gen1.1,2). There was darkness, without form, void,....see how God operated... everything were created by "spoken Word"  "God created the worlds by the word of God, so things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." (Heb11.3)  This is the principle of faith.. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"(Heb11.1) Can you operate on this principle? YES. 1Jn5.1 "Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" 1Jn4.4 "You are of God....He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" Jesus also says in Jn14.16 "And I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Spirit of God), that He may abide with you forever" Meditate on these Scriptures, you will understand; Father has given you His Spirit to be with you forever, and He is greater than the one in the world, and as you believe Jesus is the Christ, you are born of God, God's child, heir of God. Word of God commands you, "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children."(Eph5.1)

God created everything out of nothing by speaking the Word, and Holy Spirit executed. Therefore, with all the privileges you have, put your faith into action, not by meditating on your problems but by speaking the Word and believing who you are in Christ, and be conscious that you are commanded to be imitator of God.

As you enter new week, and also the final day of the financial year 2018-19, believe who you are, and the power and authority you have. Also, understand the power of the spoken Word. Let this sink into your system and treasured in your heart, and put that faith into action by speaking the Word. What you hope for, what you are looking for, what you desire for in the new financial year 2019-20, speak it out in Jesus' name. Don't speak about your problems, failures, lacks,  which are only facts, but speak the Truth which is the Word of God.

My dear Friend, as you are born of God, you are a child and heir of God. Acknowledge  your status, rejoice in your privileges and honour God who has lavished these privileges graciously on you,  now do what God did; Speak in faith.... the Word, then you will make your way prosperous, have good success as the LORD is able to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond what you ask or think. That's why Jesus said, "speak to the mountain and command what you want, it will be done if you believe"
(Mk11.23) Rejoice for best is yet to come!


YOU ARE A HIGHLY BLESSED..... IMITATOR OF GOD. ENJOY AND CHERISH SUPERNATURAL EVERY MOMENT.💥

John 16.12

"I still have many things to say to you, but you can not bear them now"

Dear Friend in Christ, Lord Jesus was speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit and making this statement that He has many things to tell but expresses that disciples cannot understand them then. Why? Further, He says, "When the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth" (Jn16.13) Jesus is confirming that without the Holy Spirit we can't understand the mysteries of the Scriptures. When Jesus was in the flesh, Holy Spirit was not released and therefore in spite of seeing the wonders, miracles, supernatural things done by Jesus, there was no conviction with His disciples. After the death of Christ, same disciples who were with Jesus personally experienced supernatural power of Him, but started doubting and questioning and finally decided to go back to fishing!! My dear friend, without the Holy Spirit, we can't know Jesus and we can't believe in the Word of God. "When Holy Spirit has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment of sin, because they don't believe in Jesus."(Jn16.8,9) Without the Holy Spirit, there is no conviction and without the conviction, there is no change, though the believer may have knowledge of the Word. The Bible will be like story book, get excited while reading but no change!

As a believer, we should hunger and thirst to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Lk 11.13.. "How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit  to those who ask Him!" Today ask the Father to fill you with the Holy Spirit and grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and get matured by the revelation of the Word of God.

Acts 1.8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Has come upon you, and you shall be witness to Me...." Without the Holy Spirit, we can't have power, can't know Jesus and can't be a witness to Christ.

You might have experienced power, miracles from Jesus but this experience will not bring transformation in you unless you are filled with the Holy Spirit. The same Peter, who went back to fishing, once he was filled with the Holy Spirit, preached boldly Jesus Christ. When you read Book of Acts, you will realize the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Do not ignore the Holy Spirit, love Him, long for Him and enjoy Him. "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit" (Zech4.6)

Joel 2 :21
"Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things."

Meditation
God wants to do great things in your life! Notice this verse starts out by saying “fear not.” Fear is the greatest weapon the enemy uses to try to hold you back. Fear is not from God. It is designed to paralyze you and keep you from God's blessings. Don’t ever let fear be a factor in the choices you make in life. Overcome fear by meditating on the promises of God’s love and goodness. Perfect love casts out all fear. When you understand the love of God, you have nothing to fear. You know the Lord will do great things! Let that sink down into your spirit today. Meditate on this verse and declare it out loud every day. As you study God’s Word, your faith will grow and fear will be gone from your life. You’ll know His love, and you will experience His goodness in every area of your life! Amen.

Ephesians 2.10

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them"


Dear Friend in Christ, get excited, for you are an extraordinary person. Why?
 1. You are workmanship of God
 2. Created in Christ Jesus
3. To do good works

This is what LORD says about you. Stop thinking that you are inferior, you have lack, failure, sick.... Delete these negative thoughts from your mind. Never compare yourself with others. You are unique. Look at the word "workmanship".... not made or created but workmanship.... even the minute issues in you are taken care by the LORD, therefore you are complete and perfect, for the workmanship is by the perfect and complete God and God has put His Trade Mark, His Logo on you!

Secondly, you are created in Christ Jesus.  Can you understand the depth of this statement? In medical terminology, you can say that you have the DNA of Christ Jesus. "For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Coll3.3) 1Jn4.17, "As Christ is, so are you in this world"

Thirdly you are "prepared by LORD beforehand to do good works" You are incompetent to do evil. Gal 4.6 "God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your heart" As the Spirit of Christ is in you, you will do good works for Acts 10.38 says, "Jesus went about doing good", to bring glory to the Father.

As you are the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus, prepared by God beforehand to do good works, scripture commands us "we should walk in them". Believe "you are complete in Christ, who is the head of all principality and power." (Col2 .10)

If you believe the first part, certainly you will fulfil the second part. Believe that you are an extraordinary person and "your life is hidden with Christ in God."(Coll 3.3)

Dear Friend, believe, understand and out loud confess what the LORD says about you..... "I am anointed, I am blessed, I am perfect, I am a success, I am victor, I am healthy, I am prosperous.... and I am complete for I am the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus for good works and by the grace of the LORD, my life is hidden with Christ in God, as Christ so am I in this world, I am complete in Christ who is the head of all principality and power, and with the help of the Holy Spirit I shall walk in them and will be a witness to Christ, thereby bring glory to the Father."

[04:00, 3/28/2019] Bro Alex: John 17.16

"They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world"


Dear Friend in Christ, as a believer in Christ, Lord Jesus Christ declares to His Heavenly Father that, we are not of this world! Amazing, we are like Christ, are from above! Jn8.23, Jesus reveals Himself to the Pharisees, "I am from above, I am not of this world"  You are from above for "whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (1Jn5.1) As you are born of God and from above, "you have overcome the world". (1Jn5.4,5) Things of the world shall not dominate your life but you will dominate over the things of the world. That's why Jesus said, "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Mt 6.32,33)
Dear Friend, the scriptures clearly declares that as you believe in Jesus, you are from above. Never allow the things of the world to determine your life, "seek those things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of  God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth".(Coll 3.1,2)

Be conscious about your status, be conscious about your identity, be conscious about your privileges. Your consciousness will make you to declare boldly who you are. Paul says, Rom12.2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Renew your mind, consciously confessing what scripture says about you and not with the junk worldly things. As your mind is renewed, you will be transformed, and this is a process. This is nothing but seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Your right standing with the Word, makes you righteous. Get excited as you focus on things of the above, where Christ is seated, you will prosper and prosper in every area of your life. Start now the process of renewing your mind and be transformed. Know that God Himself has "predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son" (Rom8.29) Acknowledge and believe this TRUTH.

Believe, confess, declare out loud your status and identity in Christ, which is the TRUTH, so that it is treasured in your heart, then speak boldly to your situations, what God says about you; this is humility and true obedience; with which Father will be well pleased and He will exalt you in His time, beyond your imagination for His Word declares, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."(1Cor2.9)

PRAISE GOD! YOU ARE FROM ABOVE.... HIGHLY FAVOURED AND BLESSED, SUPERNATURAL!! 👍💐

Luke 10:42, TLB
"There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it—and I won't take it away from her!"

Meditation
You can learn a lot from the story of Jesus' visit to the home of Martha and Mary. While Martha busied herself preparing a meal, Mary sat at Jesus' feet listening to what He was teaching. When Martha realized that Mary wasn't helping her, she marched over, interrupted Jesus, and said, "Lord, this isn't fair. I'm in here doing all the work and she just sits here!" Jesus' reply must have stunned her: "Martha, you're stressed out about so many different things. Only one thing really matters, and Mary has chosen what's best." In effect, Jesus was telling Martha to slow down and enjoy the moment. He could easily be saying the same thing to you! It's good to be a hard worker, but it's important that you know how to put your work aside and enjoy the blessings He's bringing into your life. If so, look at your schedule today and choose what is best! Amen.

John 15.15

"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant, does not know what the master is doing but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you."

Dear Friend, get excited to know we have the best Friend in Christ Jesus!  You may be worried now thinking none understands you, all those pretended as  friends have forsaken you, cheer up my friend, though Jesus is King of kings, Lord of lords, Creator of heaven and earth, having all power and authority in heaven and earth, He loves you  so much that, He has declared that you are His friend. Marvelous! Once, an enemy of Him worked against Him being slave to satan, Jesus manifests His love, favor by forgetting what you were! He declares, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."(Heb13.5); "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."(Mt28.20) Pause for a moment, and meditate on these Scriptures. Can any friend in your life assure you this and live by the promise?                         Even after His death on the Cross, to redeem you, He has not left you orphan but is abiding in you in the form of Helper, Holy Spirit.(Jn14.16-18)  Amazing thing is, He is concerned of you even after your life in this world. Jn14.1-3, "He is preparing a mansion in His Father's house, once it is ready, He Himself will come again, to receive you to Himself, that where He is, there you may be also." Wow! What a marvelous relationship you and I have as friends with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!!! As a Friend, He took our place on Cross, redeemed us from the clutches of the devil, reconciled us with the Father, entitled us to be the sons and heirs of God, gave us the Helper to intercede for us on earth; He is interceding for us in heaven;  He is preparing beautiful mansion for us in heaven and once it is ready He Himself will come down to take us to be with Him in eternity.

How you and I can be His friends? Jn15.14, "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you." Friend, today make a conscious decision to read, meditate on the Word of God, which are commands of Christ Jesus, understand them, believe them, follow and obey them. Let's not get decieved by only hearing the Word and not practicing the Word.(James 1.22-25) Word of God cautions us, "For as body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."(James 2.26).  Be open and transparent with Him, knowing fully well that you are having fellowship with your Friend, though He is the King and the Lord.     

As friends of Christ, our lives should reflect the character of our Friend, Christ, be His witnesses and Ambassadors, thereby bring honour and glory to our Friend in and through our lives.

Mark 11:26
"But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions."

Meditation
No one promised that life would always be fair. People are imperfect; we make mistakes and bad decisions. You may have been hurt by others in the past, but the important part is how you choose to deal with that hurt. Failing to let go of the past and holding on to grudges and anger can only cause harm in your life. If you want to keep your joy and remove what could become some huge obstacles in your path, decide to forgive others, whether or not they ask for forgiveness. God says His daily forgiveness, in the sense of His daily favor and blessings, is based on your willingness to forgive others. When you forgive, you will find new strength and begin to experience God's explosive blessings! Amen.

1 Peter 5.6,7


"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

Dear Friend in Christ,   whatever is troubling you, whatever situation you are in and are anxious of, just forget  and shift your focus from your situation to the LORD. Listen to what LORD says. "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of Mine," for "I resist the proud, but give grace to the humble."(1Pet5.5) Humbling means trusting  the LORD and His Word, in every situation, always, ; surrendering unconditionally to Him. LORD, can not work in our lives so long as we have pride, for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."(James4.6) If God resists who can help us? As you surrender to the LORD, by confessing from the bottom of your heart, "LORD, I can't, only You can...," LORD will intervene supernaturally, and exalt you in due time," for "He makes everything beautiful in its time."(Eccl3.11)

Cast your problems, situations upon Him. Word of God says, "casting all your care...." not partial; believing "He cares for you." That's why Word of God says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Remind yourself again and again, that the LORD is the Living God, He is your Father and He loves you with everlasting love and He is faithful. Once you know this TRUTH, you will not hesitate to surrender to Him, cast your burden upon Him, and enjoy the goodness of the LORD; will live victorious life, bringing glory to the Father.

"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God."

Dear Friend in Christ, the Word of God says us about our salvation and how to enjoy the fullness of the joy of salvation in our lives always.
Don't be content that you are saved and have eternal life, but "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"(Phil 2.12) My friend, you are saved and obtained eternal life by "believing in the name of Son of God, Jesus Christ". How to work out your own salvation ie to enjoy the joy of salvation always? "By continuing to believe in the name of Son of God"
What is meant by believing in the name of Jesus Christ?

You should believe who Jesus Christ is, what He has done for you and who you are in Christ. You have to not only believe but meditate on it daily and observe, confess, declare, so that "you will be conscious of this TRUTH and live in this confidence" Once you are conscious of this Truth, you will overcome temptation to sin, world and you will be bold to face any situation, thereby will be a powerful witness to Christ.

Know and believe, Jesus is the only Begotten Son of God, He is God, all things were created by Him and for Him and He is having all power and authority in heaven and on earth. He was dead but risen and now alive forever. 

Know and believe that He became perfect substitute for you on the cross to redeem you. He has saved you, justified you, reconciled you with the Father and is interceding for you and He has given you His own Spirit to guide and help you.                     

Know and believe, the divine exchange He made for you on the cross and His finished work.     

Know and believe that in Christ, you are righteous, saint, child of God, son of God, heir of God, joint heir with Christ, seed of Abraham, king and priest,........ complete in Him and as He is so are you on the earth. Whatever you ask in His name, Father will give you.

Let this TRUTH sink into your system and treasured in your heart, and be conscious of it, refuse to accept the lie of the devil but hold on to the Word of God, your identity in Christ, and privileges of your salvation,  thereby make your way prosperous and have good success. You are born again to be successful in every area of your life.

Isaiah 9:6
"…and his name shall be called…The Prince of Peace."
Jesus is our Prince of Peace. He gives us peace that passes understanding—which means we can have peace when it doesn’t make sense. We can have peace in the midst of the storm. We can have peace in the midnight hour. When we stay in a position of peace, that is a position of power. We aren’t moved by the changing wind and waves because the peace inside of us does not rise and fall with our circumstances. Call on the Prince of Peace. Give Him your burdens and cares. The Bible says that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. When we are working and living the way God intends—full of peace and joy—we are carrying His “light” burden. Don’t carry the worries and stresses of this life! Call on the Prince of Peace, and He’ll be your refuge in troubled times. Amen!

Ephesians 1.1

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ."


Dear Friend in Christ, as you step into new week,  know that you are not ordinary, you are highly blessed. Word of God says, "Heavenly Father has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ". Please note, its not "you will be blessed" but "He has blessed"!!!! What God has blessed, none can take it away. But many believers are ignorant, therefore they struggle and struggle, pray and pray for blessings. If you know you have something, will you pray for that! Believe the Word, and receive those blessings, thank the Father for those blessings and enjoy those blessings. Truly believers go through difficult phases in their lives due to lack of knowledge of what they have received thru salvation.

Friend, take time today, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, meditate Ephesians Chapter 1, you will be amazed to know why Heavenly Father has lavished His magnanimity on you. All because of salvation, ...Jn3.16... "Believe in Jesus, you shall not perish but will have eternal life"

Eph1.4,5 says, "Father has chosen you in Christ before the foundation of the world! According to the pleasure of His will, predestined you to adoption as sons in Christ."

Eph1.6,7  "chosen you to the praise of the glory of His grace" and
"redeemed you through the blood of Christ, forgiven you."

Eph1.9 "made known to you the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself."

Eph1.11,13,14  "In Christ, you have received His inheritance; you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise; Holy Spirit is the guarantee of your inheritance."

Dear Friend, go through these Scriptures, meditate upon them, believe them, acknowledge them and treasure them in your heart. Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of The Father, is the guarantee of your inheritance in Christ and your salvation is sealed in Him!!!! Amazing love of the Father, He has not only chosen you, adopted you as son, but given you His inheritance. Holy Spirit, being the guarantee for your blessings and your inheritance, He reminds you always about these Promises and blessings. Be sensitive to His voice, accept His counsel and enjoy your inheritance and every blessing your Heavenly Father has lavished on you. When we don't acknowledge what LORD has done for us, and when we don't listen to the counsel of the Holy Spirit, we grieve the Holy Spirit; let's always honour the Holy Spirit. As you attend the worship service today in the Sanctuary, rejoice in the LORD and bless the LORD. Surely you will know that you are  Supernatural.

Proverbs 4::23
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

Meditation
Your eyes, ears, and mouth are all gateways to your heart. What you watch and listen to goes into your heart whether you realize it or not. Similar to a computer, what you allow into your heart programs your thinking and words, which ultimately determines the direction of your life. Indeed, your thoughts determine actions, attitude, and self-image. You can guard your heart by being extremely careful about what you watch and listen to. But beyond that, you have to guard your heart against bitterness and bad attitudes. The Bible says that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. That means your words show where your heart is. Take inventory today of what you are saying, watching and listening to. As you guard your heart and mind, the springs of life within in you will flow freely, and you will live in the abundance the Lord has in store for you. Amen!

John 9.33

"If this Man, were not from God, He could do nothing"

Dear Friend in Christ, this is the confession made by the one who was born blind and was healed by Jesus. When he received healing started testifying the healing, there came opposition, threats from religious leaders. He was not afraid of these people but went on declaring boldly, A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash." So I went and I received sight. (Jn9.11) He had the heart of gratitude and thankfulness. He knew his pathetic situation, and from which pit  Jesus has lifted him and delivered him, set him free. Though he didn't knew Jesus, He acknowledges that "He is from God". When he meets Jesus later, and as Jesus reveals Himself to him, he said, "Lord I believe!" And he worshipped Him.

This episode is written in the Bible, as a lesson for us. We receive so many miracles from the Lord but do we risk to testify? We take it as if it is our birth right to receive miracles. We may testify inside the Church or in a group of believers, but do we take the courage to testify in the market place, in public, with those who don't believe in Jesus and those who are opposing Jesus? Why? Heart of gratitude is  not there.  Just think how we react in secular world, if we buy something and if it is good, we will market the product with such a force even the Marketing Executive of that product will be put to shame. We know how to testify. Lord does miracles in our lives, so that we can use it as a tool to evangelize. Witness is very powerful than preaching! Mt10.32,33, Jesus declares, "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven" Many who received miracles from the Lord are suffering because of not testifying, not glorifying the Lord; Jesus too denies such people! These are the ones who made their miracles as their graveyard!

Knowing the Lord, but by not acknowledging, glorifying, and thanking the Lord, our thoughts becomes futile and heart will be foolish and darkened. Rom1.21, "Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." What a tragedy!!!

We should make a habit to thank God in everything and we should be excited to share with others what the Lord has done to us, thereby will be instrument for someone to come to the knowledge of Jesus, and  receive greatest reward, "Jesus confessing you to the Father who is in heaven." All because of heart of gratitude. Develop the heart of gratitude in you and look for opportunities to testify, thereby you will be a powerful witness to the Lord.

ENJOY THE SUPERNATURAL FAVOR OF THE LORD AS YOU TESTIFY AND GLORIFY HIM.🌟John 9.33

"If this Man, were not from God, He could do nothing"

Dear Friend in Christ, this is the confession made by the one who was born blind and was healed by Jesus. When he received healing started testifying the healing, there came opposition, threats from religious leaders. He was not afraid of these people but went on declaring boldly, A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash." So I went and I received sight. (Jn9.11) He had the heart of gratitude and thankfulness. He knew his pathetic situation, and from which pit  Jesus has lifted him and delivered him, set him free. Though he didn't knew Jesus, He acknowledges that "He is from God". When he meets Jesus later, and as Jesus reveals Himself to him, he said, "Lord I believe!" And he worshipped Him.

This episode is written in the Bible, as a lesson for us. We receive so many miracles from the Lord but do we risk to testify? We take it as if it is our birth right to receive miracles. We may testify inside the Church or in a group of believers, but do we take the courage to testify in the market place, in public, with those who don't believe in Jesus and those who are opposing Jesus? Why? Heart of gratitude is  not there.  Just think how we react in secular world, if we buy something and if it is good, we will market the product with such a force even the Marketing Executive of that product will be put to shame. We know how to testify. Lord does miracles in our lives, so that we can use it as a tool to evangelize. Witness is very powerful than preaching! Mt10.32,33, Jesus declares, "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven" Many who received miracles from the Lord are suffering because of not testifying, not glorifying the Lord; Jesus too denies such people! These are the ones who made their miracles as their graveyard!

Knowing the Lord, but by not acknowledging, glorifying, and thanking the Lord, our thoughts becomes futile and heart will be foolish and darkened. Rom1.21, "Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." What a tragedy!!!

We should make a habit to thank God in everything and we should be excited to share with others what the Lord has done to us, thereby will be instrument for someone to come to the knowledge of Jesus, and  receive greatest reward, "Jesus confessing you to the Father who is in heaven."

"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy."

Meditation
If the circumstances of life have taken away your joy, today is the day to get it back. You weren’t meant to live this life feeling drained, depressed and down. God wants you to be excited about your future and learn to enjoy each and every day. Start each morning with a declaration of faith. Quote Psalm 118:24 aloud to yourself: "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." The Lord gave you today for a specific reason, so enjoy it and live it in His strength! You have to be determined to enjoy your life even in the difficult seasons. Every day you can choose to enjoy the things that God has given you. Keep giving God praise despite your circumstances, and you will enjoy your life to the fullest today. Amen!

Jeremiah 33.3

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know"

Dear Friend in Christ, get excited, the Creator of Heaven and earth, our Creator, the One, who is having all power and authority in heaven and on earth, the Heavenly Father  comforts and encourages you and me today. Whatever may be our situation, problem, even if it looks like impossible to solve, we might have lost all hope, we might have tried all avenues, sources, people, and come to a conclusion, "It's all over"; now let us look upto the LORD and His Promises. He loves us so much that He gives us an open invitation just to "call to Me". Trusting Him and His Word, let's offer our situation and problems to Him, "for with God nothing is impossible"(Lk1.37)

Sure assurance from the LORD, "and I will answer you."   Believe, that the LORD answers you when you call unto Him and He will answer  beyond your imagination for He says, "and show you great and mighty things which you do not know". What a loving and caring Father we have! Inspite of this assurance,  why we do not call on Him? The reason,  either we are ignorant of this promise, or don't know Him, or don't know who He is or we don't trust Him and His power. Today make a conscious decision to know Him, His unconditional love for you and His power by meditating the Word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit. Understand, believe, acknowledge and confess, thereby treasure the Word in your heart. Eph3.20, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..." LORD is all able to do beyond what you ask,  and think of,  and He is Faithful, provided you have faith in Him and believe. Trust Him and His living Word;  know that He is your loving Heavenly Father, who loves and cares for you, He has sacrificed His Son and redeemed you, adopted you as His son in Christ. Let your faith in God be bigger than the fear of problems.

Make a decision "to STOP being anxious of your situations and problems, instead trust the LORD and believe in His Word, and go to Him with thanksgiving and supplication, rejoice in the LORD now and always, the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."(Phil4.4-7) Hallelujah, praise and glory to the LORD.

Isaiah 46:9-10
"...For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me. Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish."

Meditation
Many of us pray very boldly for things that never come to pass; it's only later that they realize what a blessing it was that God did not answer their prayer! It’s easy to look at our current situation and wonder why that relationship didn’t work out, why the promotion went to someone else, or why the business deal fell through. We can only see one moment at a time, but God knows how today's situations will impact us tomorrow, next week, or even ten years from now! Sometimes the best thing that can happen to you is the exact opposite of what you want to happen at the time. God knows the end from the beginning, and He always has the sequence of events in your life in perfect order. Stay in faith and trust that just as God opens doors, He also closes doors because He has something better in store for you. You’re about to see new growth, new talents, new opportunities. Amen!

Revelation 1.5,6

"To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

Dear Friend in Christ, come out of your negative mindset and know what the Word of God says about you.           

Most of the believers, acknowledge the first part, and get excited  that "Christ has loved us washed our sins with His own blood", but many don't give any importance to the later part of this Scripture, "and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father." If only the believers acknowledge and believe this Scripture in total, surely they will know their status in Christ. Rev5.10 says, "And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth." Amazing! Many of us are ignorant of the finished work of Christ. Know that, Christ  by shedding His blood on cross has forgiven our sins and washed us with His blood, thereby redeemed us and  the important thing is, given  us identity as kings and priests, thereby restored us the dominion which was lost by Adam. Believe the Word, understand the depth of this Word. You are not only redeemed but Lord Jesus Christ has made you king and priest and commanded  you to reign on the earth!!!!!!!! If Lord Jesus, the One who is having all power and authority in heaven and on earth, has made you king, made you priest and declared you to reign on the earth, who can stop you? It's your ignorance of your status which is stopping. Why? You may be knowing this Word, might have been excited and also believing the Word, but unless and until you observe, practice the Word, you will not get any  benefits. Having faith is good but "faith without action is dead"(James2.20) Friend, you can observe the Word, only when you are conscious of this TRUTH. Believers are conscious that Christ has redeemed them from sin and testify this but very few are conscious of the real Truth that, "you are not only redeemed, and washed by the Blood of Jesus, but also you are king and priest and authorized to reign on earth.!" Be the doers of the Word. Now on acknowledging this Truth about you, your identity in Christ, in faith confess out loud,  "Jesus Christ has washed my sins with His blood, I am redeemed, I am righteous, Lord Jesus has made me king and priest, I will reign on the earth.  I know I have overcome the world, therefore I will live a victorious life and bring glory to the Lord, being a witness to Christ Jesus."
When you are conscious of this TRUTH, your thinking, speech, language, and actions will challenge,  and surely, you will make your way prosperous and have good success.

REJOICE AND CELEBRATE, YOUR STATUS IN CHRIST..... YOU ARE SUPERNATURAL...KING AND PRIEST.... VICTOR NEVER A VICTIM.👍🌟

Proverbs 4:25
"Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you."

Meditation
In order to fulfill your destiny, you have to know your purpose. You need a plan, and then you must work that plan. You should wake up each day knowing where you're headed, which direction you're taking, and what you are going to accomplish—and then stick with it! Don't allow the distractions and busyness of life get you off course. Ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing moving me toward my God-given destiny? Am I staying focused? Is this my purpose in life, or am I just wasting my time being busy?" Proverbs 4:25 says to keep your eyes fixed straight ahead. Don't look to the left or to the right. Don't be distracted and spend your time and energy on things that are not helping you fulfill your destiny. If you need direction for your life today, ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to order your time and arrange your schedule to accomplish the Lord's will. Remember, God's plans are blessed, and as you walk in His plan for your life, you will experience His abundant blessing on everything you set your hand to! Amen.

Romans 5. 5

" Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Dear Friend in Christ, whatever situation you are going through now, get excited knowing that the LORD, the creator of heaven and earth, having all power and authority in heaven and on earth, loves you. Scripture says He loves you "with an everlasting love." (Jer31.3) LORD has demonstrated His love for you by sacrificing His begotten Son on the Cross. Rom8.32, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" This is the love of God. This love, God has poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit. This Holy Spirit abides in you always, for Jn14.16 says, "I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Holy Spirit), that He may abide with you forever." Therefore, whatever situation you are going through, the Spirit of God, who abides in you reminds you of the love of God for you and encourages you to hope for the good things, which you desire. As LORD loves you with His everlasting love, and He has promised, believe, "with Christ, He also give you freely all things."

Then you will know that Phil4.13,19, "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."; " Your God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." What a loving, caring Father we have!! LORD, your Father will never disappoint you and "He will fulfill the desire of your heart."(Psa37.4)

Get excited dear Friend, knowing that  hope does not disappoint you, because love of God has been poured out in your heart by the Holy Spirit, who was given to you and who abides in you forever." Be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, obey His prompting, never grieve Him,  love Him, have fellowship with Him always, thereby enjoy the fullness of life, live unto the Father, be a witness to Him.

John 6:12
“After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, ‘Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.'”

Meditation
The Bible tells of a time when Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand with only five loaves. That day, everyone had more than enough to eat and there were still twelve baskets full of bread. That’s because we serve a God of abundance! Jesus told the disciples to collect all the leftovers “so that nothing is wasted.” With God, nothing is ever wasted. He’ll never waste an experience; He’ll never waste a hurt; He’ll never waste a dream; He’ll never waste even a single piece of bread. God is still in the miracle-working business. He is still our Creator, and He is a Restorer. If you’ve felt like you’ve wasted years of your life in the wrong job, hanging around the wrong people, doing the wrong things, God will gather those years and restore them back to you. He’ll take those experiences that the enemy meant for your harm and turn them around for your good. He’ll make you stronger, wiser and better off than you were before. He can launch you further into your destiny than before. Be encouraged today because with God, all things are possible and nothing is ever wasted! Amen!

Psalm 124.8

" Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

Dear Friend in Christ, get excited, the LORD God loves us so much that He declares, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."(Isa41.10) He also says, "Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."(Psa50.15)  What a loving, caring LORD we have! We go through anxiety, frustrations, dejection because in times of trouble, we do not call upon Him. He says He will answer, when we call and deliver us. Sure Promise. Not only that He also assures us that He will help us, strengthen us, uphold us. Let's take time now and meditate on these Promises. He doesn't say that He will send help, but He Himself will help us. Imagine the Creator of heaven and earth; the One, who is having all power and authority in heaven and earth; all things are possible with Him...is ever ready to help us...can we fail? Never! Only thing what we should do is, during the time of trouble to call upon Him instead of running from pillar to post. To call upon Him, we should have right relationship with Him, we should know Him, we should also know how He looks at us; then we will have faith in Him and His Word, and trust Him.  Heb 11.6 says, "Without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that  He is, and He is a rewarder of  those who diligently seek Him."   

By operating in faith, you will overcome fear. Now make a conscious decision to spend time with the LORD, who is your Father; and know that in Christ you are His son and a joint heir with Christ.  Once you know this TRUTH, surely and surely,  you will confidently and boldly, out loud confess in any situation that, "My help is in the name of the LORD," thereby lead victorious life being witness to Christ, bringing glory to the Father.

Meditation
Isn’t it great to look back and remember the victories that Christ has given you? When you face tough times and your dream looks impossible, just go back and replay your victories. Relive the times when you thought you were stuck, but God opened a door. Remember how He put you at the right place at the right time. Remember how He spared your life from that accident. If you’re going to overcome obstacles, if you’re going to reach your best life, you have to learn to remember. When you’re constantly thinking about God’s goodness, how He’s protected, vindicated and promoted you, not only will faith rise in your heart, but it’s that attitude of expectancy that allows God to do greater victories.

Proverbs 3.5,6

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

Dear Friend in Christ,  do not ponder upon your failures, defeats, sickness, shame, problems, anxieties but look for brighter things in the future for the "LORD has plans for your peace, future, hope and not of destruction."(Jer29.11)

The Word of God gives us guidelines.

1. Trust in the LORD with all your heart
We always say that we trust in the LORD and we also sing out loud..."I just keep trusting the LORD as I walk along...." Do we really trust Him!? If we trust Him, why we poke our nose in between, why we get disturbed, restless? Do we do the same in our secular world? We go to a restaurant, stylishly look into the menu,  and order. Do we look into the kitchen, quality of raw materials, process of cooking?  Why? We trust the restaurant!!!! Now just examine yourself....do you really trust the LORD. If there is any iota of doubt during the process of trusting, "we will receive nothing from the LORD." (James1.6-8) Today let's take a stand to fully, unconditionally to trust the LORD, believing who He is, believing in His power and authority and knowing that He loves us with His everlasting love and He is always Faithful.

2. Lean not on your own understanding

Human tendency is that we go by our education, knowledge, past experiences, and experiences told to us by others; we also think as LORD has given us the wisdom we should utilise this wisdom. Scripture says, "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD." (Jer17.5) Our LORD, our Father is the source of all wisdom, power and authority, He has called us to "Cast all our care upon Him for He cares for us." (2Pet5.7) Our understanding is limited and therefore, instead of depending upon on limited knowledge, let's lean on the LORD, who is the source of all wisdom.

3. In all your ways acknowledge Him

Friend, make it a habit to acknowledge the LORD in everything. Normally we acknowledge the LORD when our lives are saved from a major accident but have you ever thought of the LORD when you go out and come back without any scratch? Have you ever thought who takes care when you sleep?  Scripture says, "Without Me, you can do nothing"(Jn15.5) for "He is the vine, we are the branches." How can a branch survive without the supply from the vine? Be conscious of  Immanuel, God with us." The unfortunate thing is we think of "Immanuel" only during Christmas! He is Immanuel forever and ever. Let this TRUTH sink into our system, then surely we will acknowledge Him in everything.

4. He shall direct your paths

Awesome! The LORD who created heaven and earth, who has all power and authority in heaven and in earth, who knows the end from the beginning, who loves you with His everlasting love, who has sacrificed His Son for you, who has adopted you as son in Christ, made you joint heir with Christ, and nothing is impossible with Him, will direct your paths! Marvellous! He is supernatural God; with spoken Word He created everything; who divided the Red Sea, pulled down the Jericho wall without using any technology; healed the lepers,  fed thousands with few loaves, raised the dead ...... is directing your paths.... Amazing! Believe, you will never be the same. You can't fail. Then, you will think supernatural, dream supernatural, speak supernatural, do supernatural and will have supernatural. "You are more than a conqueror."(Rom8.37) Get excited, you are always a success, celebrate the fullness of life in Christ Jesus and be a powerful witness to Him.

"He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son His love."

Dear Friend in Christ, rejoice for the LORD, your Father has delivered you from the power of darkness and has conveyed you into the kingdom of the Son of His love; therefore, you have every reason to thank, praise and worship the LORD today, as you step into the Sanctuary, at the beginning of  this new week , be awesome one in His presence!

Many of us do not enjoy the fullness of the life in the kingdom of Christ, because many are ignorant of deliverance from the power of darkness.  Eph2.1-3 tells us about our past, "dead in sin, walked according to the world and under the slavery of son of disobedience, Lucifer and children of wrath." But Heavenly Father, had delivered us by "sacrificing His Son and by the precious blood of Jesus."(1Pet1.18,19) Awesome thing is, this great deliverance or great salvation has made you, "new creation, all old things have passed away, everything has become new, now all things are of God, and you are an Ambassador of Christ."(2Cor5.17-20)

Friend, believe who you are now. You are no more slave of Lucifer but an Ambassador of Christ, the One who is above all seen and unseen power and authority!!!
Now listen what your Father calls and how He sees you, "Chosen generation, royal priesthood, His own special person, person of  God, one who obtained mercy and ordained to proclaim His praises."(1Pet2.9,10)
THIS IS YOUR IDENTITY MY DEAR FRIEND. Believe what the Word of God declares, understand the depth of this TRUTH, acknowledge it and confess till it sinks into your system and treasured in your heart. Stop speaking negative, stop thinking negative, stop listening to what people say; focus on the Word of your Father, which is already established and you will see and enjoy the glory of the Word in and through your life,  provided you believe. Rejoice my friend, you are not ordinary but very special to your Father, therefore have confidence and know that, "if you ask anything according to His will, He hears;"(1Jn5.14,15); and make your way prosperous and have good success; thereby bring glory to the Father; be a blessing to the lost and the saved.

“He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake”

Meditation
Life is composed of starts and stops. On your journey in life, you’re not always walking. It will always include starts and stops. In fact, there are some things you’ll need to stop doing and some things you’ll need to start doing. When you know what those are, you’ll be prepared to see the signs from God that, in his goodness, he has set all along the way. God has given us a roadmap: the Bible. God has given us a compass: our conscience. God has also given us a personal guidance counsellor: the Holy Spirit. Clearly, God wants to lead us in the paths of righteousness. This is important to understand because God never intended for you to figure out the steps of your journey without him. How you get on a mission and how you succeed at your mission are God’s responsibilities. Your responsibility is to seek his guidance and obey his directions. Amen!

"I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Dear Friend in Christ, learn to trust in God, believe in His Word.
King David, amidst all tribulations and trials, attacks, expresses his trust in God and not on his wisdom, status, power, kingdom, army, wealth. Why? He knew God and also he was confident that God loves and cares for him and nothing is impossible for Him. Do you have this confidence now?  King David, being servant of God can out loud declare his trust and confidence in God, how much you and me, being washed by the Blood of Jesus, redeemed ones, sons of God, heir of God, joint heir with Christ, carriers of the glory of God, who is our Heavenly Father, should be bold to declare our faith, confidence and trust in our Heavenly Father? Christ Jesus has called you and me "friend", "brother", "partner". Understand the depth of this relationship. Know who we are, know the finished work of Christ  for you and me,  understand what are the privileges, benefits we have as believers. Word of God is the only way to know this TRUTH.

Ignorance of your status, privileges, benefits, makes you to get into fear, allowing satan to plunder and  finally to perish. Jn3.16 says, "whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish." Heb13.5 says, "God will never leave you nor forsake you." Holding your right hand LORD your Father says, "Fear not, I will help you."(Isa41.13) Know that, "If God is for you, who can be against you?"(Rom8.31) Believe the Word of God, understand, acknowledge and confess in faith and let your heart  treasure this TRUTH, then whatever situation you are in, whatever problems you are facing, whatever sickness you suffer, you will not meditate on these issues but will declare the Word over your situation, problem, sickness. Once you know the LORD, aware of  your status and privileges as believer, you will also declare boldly, "I love You, O LORD, my Father. You are my strength. You are my rock and fortress, my deliverer;  and in You I trust. You are my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  I refuse to be defeated, I refuse to fear, I refuse to be sick for I have perfect health and sound mind, I refuse to perish. I am a success, I am a victor, I am blessed, I have fullness of life, I will prosper and prosper in every facet of my life. I will never be put into disgrace and shame. I will rejoice in the LORD, my Father now and always, and I will live unto Him."

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.” Most of us can quote the familiar words of the “Serenity Prayer” penned by American theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr. To anyone who has ever struggled with change, it can prove exceedingly difficult, and like Neibuhr, we know that it requires courage. Even Paul, battle-hardened apostle though he was, declared himself a wretched man. “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice” (Romans 7:19). That conflict in which you are engaged? That secret sin with which you struggle? That situation from which you cannot escape? In the power of Christ, confront it today. Call it by name. Bring it into the light. Rise up like a warrior intent on victory. Do not let the fear of change diminish the plans God has for you. He alone gives power to overcome. Amen!

Psalm 37.40

"And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him"


Dear Friend in Christ, Word of God declares total deliverance, salvation and help from the LORD. Very comforting Words! At times we believe in this promise, claim and when we don't get results, get frustrated, start doubting the Promise and Promise Giver!! Friend, this promise is only for those who trust in the LORD. 

It's easy to say that, "I trust in the LORD when things go well but difficult to trust when things are not favorable. LORD wants us to trust Him, in every situation, with all our heart. Prov3.5,6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths"  When we trust the LORD, our focus should be only on Him and His Word, not on situations around us. Trusting the LORD means, not trusting our strength and wisdom, which is limited, but acknowledging the LORD in all our ways. This is possible only when you know the LORD, and love Him. You won't trust a stranger, you also won't trust a person whom you don't love, you won't trust a person whom you don't know well.
This is the problem with us....we say..."I trust in the LORD", but the question is do I trust with all my heart????? Today make a conscious decision to know the LORD by reading and meditating the Word; and once you know Him, His power, His nature, His love and concern for you,... surely you will start loving Him.

Dear Friend, as you trust in the LORD with all your heart,.... you will experience His supernatural intervention and help in every area of your life, you will enjoy His deliverance, healing, and salvation every moment of your life. As you take a decision to trust the LORD, Satan also will be active, he will use his weapon deception, by instigating you to speak against the Word, or make you agree with the statements of your "so-called well-wishers" who will magnify the situations. Look at shepherd boy David, how he faced Goliath. King Saul, all brothers of David, spoke about Goliath, the situation, but David went on confessing victory with the help of his LORD expressing his trust in the LORD; and the Faithful One gave him victory supernaturally. You are superior to David for you are the redeemed one, son of God in Christ, a joint heir of God with Christ.....be confident LORD will move mountains for you when you trust Him.

ENJOY VICTORY AS YOU TRUST IN  THE LORD AND REJOICE IN THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.

Proverbs 16:9
"In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps."

Meditation
This world is a fast, go-go place where people want things "my way, in my time and for my life." Many people think that the world will give them what they are trying to get, and it's up to them to take what they want. But that's simply not true. Yes, you are called to action, and you must go out there and live life, but God has blessings for you that He wants you to be patient and wait on. You can plan your whole life, all the way to the end, but the Bible says that the Lord determines your steps, not you. Give yourself over to Him and be patient and wait upon the Lord and His blessings! Let this be our prayer saying, "God, help me not to be impatient, but to wait upon You and what You want to bless me with. Give me the strength not to give in to the way the world runs life because I know that You have all of my steps designed. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Psalm 50.15

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."


Dear Friend in Christ, get excited, LORD has not forgotten you. He says, when you are going through problems, "call upon Me, I will deliver you." When a child is in problem and calls the
father, surely the father will help beyond his capacity and deliver the child. Same way the LORD as a good Father comes to our rescue for "as we believe in Jesus, we have the right to be His children."(Jn1.12) The tragedy is we are ignorant of this Truth, therefore, get worked up in times of trouble, approach our relatives, friends, colleagues, sundries, seeking help from them, but never think of our Heavenly Father. LORD may be laughing looking at our pitiable status. If only we reach out to Him, with whom, "nothing is impossible"(Mk10.27) and the One who said, "I will neither leave you nor forsake you" (Heb13.5), who loves you so much that "He has engraved you in the palms of His hands and your walls are continually before Him."(Isa49.16); He will surely deliver us. Let's take a stand today, to seek Him, express our situation to Him frankly, believing that He is our Father who loves us with an "everlasting love."(Jer31.3).He will direct us, guide us and lavish His amazing grace and supernatural favor upon us. In return what He expects from you and me? Simple, very simple..... "to glorify Him." Friend, once you receive blessings from the LORD, don't forget to acknowledge Him, don't forget to thank Him, don't forget to testify what He has done for you to the people around you. His glory will not be affected whether we glorify Him or not, but certainly, we will miss His showers of blessings,  someone will miss an opportunity to know Him and thereby to be saved. By glorifying Him, we are spreading the good news to people, the best way of evangelization and also by doing so our faith in Him will increase.

Rejoice, my friend, we have a Father, who loves us so much that, He is always ready to help us, deliver us, save us. Therefore, no situation can trouble you,....call upon Him. Enjoy His goodness. Don't forget to glorify Him.


YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A FATHER WHO LOVES WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.❤💥

Matthew 12:33
"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit."

Meditation
God wants you to spend time doing meaningful things. But how can you tell if what you're doing is really the best way to spend your time? One way to find out is to take an inventory of your life to see where your time is going. It’s not only important how you spend your time, but with whom you spend it. The next step is called pruning, and it may cause discomfort. Pruning is necessary to not only keep healthy growth but to also make sure that the growth is in the right areas and direction. It may mean you have to prune off some relationships that are not adding value to your life. Your thought process should start with, "How can I make more room in my life for God's best?" God's best is so much greater than anything else that you could ever put your time into. Go through the pruning process to produce all that God has for you; the very best! Amen.

Psalm 23.1

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Dear Friend, as you are  in the middle of the month, you may be feeling you lack in some areas of your life; wondering about your future. Look at the confession of King David, most popular, wealthy, successful king of Israel. Can you say that The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack? If not make a conscious decision now to make Him your Shepherd and to be His sheep, and enjoy the fullness of life without lack in future, confidently hope for supernatural in the days to come.

How to be the sheep of the Lord? Jesus beautifully explains in Jn10.26-27.
Believe in Jesus
Hear His voice
Follow Him
Is it possible? Yes and No. Yes if you can surrender your self, No if you hold on to your self! Wise thing is to surrender your self and be a sheep of Jesus. Believing Jesus means, believing who Jesus is, what He has done for you and who you are in Christ. This you will know if you meditate on gospels and epistles. Secondly, Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice", that means He speaks and you can hear. How He speaks? He speaks to us through His Word. In every situation, every moment, He speaks to us. Jn16.14, "Holy Spirit will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you." The Holy Spirit who is in you (Jn14.16), will prompt you time to time; be sensitive to His voice; whatever He speaks to you through the scriptures. Thirdly to be His sheep, we should follow Him. Know how Jesus lived, how He acted in faith, how He spoke. Same way you should live your life. By living Christ like life, you will follow Him.  Coll 3.3, "For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Believe this TRUTH. As you believe in Christ, hear His voice and follow Him, you will be the sheep of Christ, the Shepherd.

Scriptures says, Jn 10.27, "I know them." The One who created heaven and earth, One who has all power and authority in heaven and earth, knows you! Amazing! He knows your situation, He knows your needs, He knows your problems,.....and as He is your Shepherd, He Himself will deal with your issues and will meet all your needs, save you, protect you and prosper you. Jn10.28, "I give them eternal life and they shall not perish" Wow! Marvelous! Believe the Word, refuse to perish in any area of your life; confess and declare you  have fullness of life in every area of your life. Jn10.28,29, " No one can snatch them from My hand and My Father's hand " What an amazing Shepherd we have! You are fully protected and you are secure in the hands of Father and Son. None can harm you. With all these, will you have any lack? Your Shepherd loves and cares for you and therefore you can boldly say, "Jesus is my Shepherd and I shall lack nothing, I am blessed, I am prosperous, i am a success, I have perfect health and sound mind, I will enjoy the goodness of the Lord always, no harm will come upon me, I am well protected by my Father and my Lord Jesus Christ; therefore I know I will not perish, I will have no lack, I will never be put into disgrace and shame; I will live into my Father and bring glory to His name."

Beauty is Jn10.29, "My Father, who has given them to me." Get excited, you are hand picked by Almighty God, your Heavenly Father and He has given you into the hands of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to shepherd you. Confirmation that Father loves you with His everlasting love. Let this TRUTH sink into your system, treasured in your heart; and look for supernaturals in every area of your life now on.

JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SHEPHERD; YOU SHALL LACK NOTHING.💐💐

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Meditation
Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much you know, or how often you go to church. Spiritual maturity is measured by the way you treat other people. Are you kind to the person working the checkout counter when the line is moving too slowly for you? Are you courteous when someone cuts you off in traffic? Are you patient with your family and coworkers? The Bible tells us that love is patient; it is kind. It does not envy; it is not proud; it is not rude. Love is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrong. Love never fails. Notice that these characteristics don’t have anything to do with feelings. You can choose to walk in love even when you don’t feel like it! Show kindness and courtesy to others. Look for ways to develop the greatest thing in your life—love! Amen.

Scripture of the day
11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me, there is no savior. - Isaiah 43:11

1 John 4.4

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."

Dear Friend in Christ, rejoice  to know that you have overcome the world, through the great salvation you have received by His grace. Today many believers are ignorant of the real value of salvation and the privileges they have in Christ. Word of God says in Hos4.6, " My people perish for lack of knowledge of the Word."  The above Scripture declares, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." Who is that "He" who is in you? He is none other than the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! If you would believe you would see the glory of God. (Jn11.40)

You are "born again through the Word of God which lives and abides forever."(1Pet1.23)

"For as many of you as were baptised into Christ have put on Christ."(Gal3.27)
As Apostle Paul says, "....it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."(Gal2.20) 1Jn5.11 says, "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son."

"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, by "Abba, Father!"(Gal4.6)

"But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him."(1Cor 6.17)

Friend, forget about your situation, now take time and meditate on the above Scriptures, which is The Truth, understand, believe and confess this TRUTH out loud till it sinks into your system and treasured in your heart. Now declare believing the Word, "I am the redeemed one, saved by grace; I am born again by the incorruptible seed which is the Word of God;  I am baptized into Christ and have put on Christ; it is no longer I but Christ lives in me; God has given me eternal life and this life is in His Son, Christ; I have the Spirit of Christ in my heart and am one spirit with Christ; I have overcome the world for the Christ who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world. Hallelujah! All praise and glory to Jesus, The Father, and The Holy Spirit.  Now knowing Christ is in you, "who has overcome the world."(Jn16.33), "call those things which do not exist as though they did,"(Rom4.17) and speak the Word as Christ spoke...... then you will make your way prosperous and have good success. Whatever the situation you are going through, worried about, even if you think it is impossible, being conscious of who is in you, speak to the situation, the Word and enjoy the supernatural breakthrough in every area of your life, lead a victorious life, rejoicing always in the goodness of the LORD.

REJOICE ....IN CHRIST  YOU ARE MORE THAN  CONQUEROR. YOU ARE A VICTOR NEVER A VICTIM.

"All Scripture is God-breathed…so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Meditation
God has equipped you with everything you need to fulfill your destiny through His Word! The Scripture tells us that as believers in Jesus Christ, God has placed His anointing on us. The anointing is divine empowerment that enables you to do what God has called you to do. You are well able to accomplish your goals. You have the ideas, the creativity and talent to be successful. The anointing enables you to do what you could not do on your own, to accomplish dreams even though you don’t have the talent, and to overcome obstacles that look insurmountable. You’ve been armed with strength for every battle! The forces that are with you are greater than the forces that are against you! Not only has God equipped you, but He is also working on your behalf. He has already lined up the right people to come across your path. He’s already lined up the right breaks. You have everything you need to live a victorious life. Amen!

Isaiah 43.1

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine"


Get excited as you step into new week,  my dear friend in Christ, for the LORD says you are special to Him. The LORD, Creator of heaven and earth; having all power and authority in heaven and on earth,  the Faithful One, speaking to you now. He declares, though you were deceiver like Jacob, He acknowledges that He is your Creator, and He says He is the One, who transformed you into Israel, Prince of God, through His plan of salvation. What an amazing love expressed by the LORD towards you and me!
He is concerned of you, for He says, "Fear not for I have redeemed you" He has paid the price for you..... "The Blood of His Son Jesus", to redeem you from the devil. He loves you so much that,  "He has adopted you as a son  in Christ, sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your heart, given you the privilege to call Him, Abba, Father!" (Gal4.5,6) Almighty God acknowledges that "I have called you by your name" He knows you and He also knows your situation now and He has a solution for your problem "for nothing is impossible with Him."(Lk1.37) Amazing statement is, "You are Mine". Can you understand the depth of this statement!!  Creator of heaven and earth, supreme  God, having all power and authority over every seen and unseen power and authority in heaven and on earth, is making this sure statement and He who declares this is the Faithful One. Get excited my friend. When you are His, your problems, worries, anxieties, stress, pain, enemies, are no longer yours but His. That's why He says, "I will fight for you, and you will hold your peace" (Ex14.14) and in Zec2.8, He thunders, "he who touches you touches the apple of My eye." Understand the depth of these Promises. No one, however big and powerful he may be, can assure you and me these promises. This is our GOD, He is our LORD, He is our Father, only He can assure and He is able for "There is nothing too hard for Him"(Jer32.17).

Now, focus on what your LORD says, for He is all able to perform what He has declared. Believe His Word and put your faith into action now and start rejoicing that you are very close to the LORD and He loves you beyond your imagination. Delete negativity from your mind now.

Will you now on thank the LORD? Thank you, Father, You are the One who created me, You are the One who transformed me. I will not fear for  You have redeemed me.  I praise You, Father, that You love me so much that You know me and calls me by my name, adopted me as a son in Christ. I rejoice for I belong to You. You are my Abba, Father. I am precious to You. I love You and will live unto You all the days of my life. Now devil will come and try to put doubt in your mind by highlighting your situation, problems. Counter him with the Word.... "My LORD loves me and I am His, devil, you get lost, you have nothing in me"


YOU ARE LORD'S, PRECIOUS TO HIM, ENJOY VICTORIOUS LIFE.  HALLELUJAH🌟
