Mix it with faith.

Hebrews 4:2
For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

The word of God can only profit you if you mix it with faith. The word can help and benefit us greatly if we receive it and allow it to change our thinking and our lifestyle.

The word of God cannot help those who don't believe what it says. Just like a medicine will be of no use to the one who refuses to take it. The word is extremely powerful and can turn our world upside down only if we receive the word by faith. Once you hear the word, make a decision to receive it and keep it in your heart and let the word manifest in your thoughts, words and actions. As you dwell on the word daily, as you behold the word daily, the Spirit of God will transform you and take you from glory to glory. You will never be the same. It all begins with the word. The word is the seed for change. The word is the starting point for transformation. The word is the foundation for a life of glory to glory. If you ever desire change, transformation and a life of glory to glory, start with the word. Surround yourself with word people, be in places where the word is taught, be a student of God's word and you will be ever growing, ever glowing and ever prosperous in every arena of your life.

Friend, don't fight the word, receive it. Faith believes what the word says and acts on what the word says. We are not just hearers of the word but doers of the word. The beginning of a glorious, supernatural and outstanding life is the word of God. Go for the word. Believe it. Receive it. Say it. Do it. Celebrate it. Stick with it. You will never be the same. This is your time.

Sustained by the word.

Hebrews 1:3
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Jesus upholds, sustains and carries all things by his powerful word. This verse gives an outstanding function of the word, the sustaining power of God's word.

Colossians says all things were made through Jesus and in Him all things are held together. The word of God upholds, carries and sustains all things. When you give God's word first and final place, the word will carry you, sustain you, help you endure the challenges of life and bring you forward in every arena of life. That's how powerful the word of God is. All around the world we see families broken, lack of peace and order, injustice, corruption, fear, terrorism, racial inequality, so on and so forth. It's high time we come back to Gods word, we come back to the Son of God, for only in Him we have stability, sustainability and progress. Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in me and my words abide in him will bear much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. Money doesn't keep things together. Properties, fame, assets cannot sustain all things, it's only Jesus, it's only His word that sustains, carries and upholds all things.

Friend, take a look into your life and into every arena of your life. There is a higher life, there is a greater life waiting on you. Jesus died and rose again to give you this awesome and glorious life. I call it the Higher Life. It's the life of the word, where you give the word first and final place in your life. Once you give Jesus and his word their place, everything else will be in place. Live the higher life!

Angels at your service!

Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

Angels are spirit beings sent forth by God to serve those who will inherit salvation. The day you accepted Christ, you received salvation, you were born again and you became a child of the Most High God.

God has assigned angels to serve his children. You see, kings never walk alone, their servants accompany them wherever they go. Your angels are with you wherever you go. As the righteousness of God in Christ,  you have the right to access and enjoy the angelic ministry. Be conscious of the angelic ministry that has been made available to you because of the finished works and the blood of Jesus Christ. Psalms 103 says these mighty spirit beings obey the voice of God's word. Its one thing to have angels as your ministering spirits and it another thing to put them to work. Put your angels to work by giving voice to God's word. Every time you give voice to God's word, in other words every time you speak God's word by faith, angels are released to get the work done. Jesus said I will give you the keys of the kingdom,  whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Friend, loose the angels and release them in the name of Jesus. Access the angelic ministry and let these mighty spirit beings, who excel in strength serve you and help you in fulfilling your destiny. You are not alone. You are a king in Christ and kings never walk alone. Angels are waiting for faith voice of God's word from your mouth. Speak and let them serve you for in serving you they are serving the One who created them, ordained them and assigned them to us.

Lifestyle of thanksgiving!

Ephesians 5.20
giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the reasons I believe many of us do not give thanks is because of our lack of knowledge and understanding concerning what the Father has done for us and in us through Jesus Christ and what He is doing in us and through us by the Holy Spirit.

Heartfelt thanksgiving is our offering to God. Its our response to all that He has done for us. The word says give thanks to the Father always, for this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus. Jesus lived a lifestyle of thanksgiving. It was thanksgiving that positioned Abraham to recieve Issac. Thanksgiving has a profound impact. Develop a lifestyle of thanksgiving every moment and every day of your life for all things work together for your good because you love God and are called according to his purpose. You can never be disadvantaged. The day you accepted Christ, you were redeemed from failure. You are conditioned to win. In Christ, success is your lifestyle. The life of God is in you and darkness cannot stop you, cannot defeat you and cannot conquer you. You are the seed of Abraham in Christ. Thank you Father in the name of Jesus.

Friend, meditate on these things and understand that you can never be disadvantaged. You are a winner forever. A total success. Jesus thanked God for five loaves and two fishes to feed more than 5000 people and all ate, were satisfied with 12 baskets remaining. Thanksgiving results in multiplication. No matter where you are and no matter what you have, give God thanks and use it for the glory of God and position yourself for supernatural multiplication.

Light of Love

Ephesians 5.8
For you were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

The Apostle Paul, through the Holy Spirit is telling us before we accepted Christ, you and I, we were not only in darkness but we were darkness, being ruled by the prince of darkness.

The day we received Jesus into our hearts, we got born again and we were translated from the authority of darkness to the kingdom of God's dear Son, to the marvellous light. Today, as born again children of God, we are not only in the kingdom of light, we are light in the Lord. It's very important for us to know that we are light in the Lord so we can walk as lights. God is light and we are born of light. Light is our nature and with this consciousness, we show forth the excellence of God, His marvellous light.

Friend, we walk in the light by walking in the love of God. The word says he who walks in love abides in the light and there is no cause for stumbling in him, nothing makes him fall. Today be conscious that you are light in the Lord and you will show forth his marvellous light in Jesus name. This is your time. Shine. 'God is light. I am born of light and I walk as a child of light by walking in the love of God.'

Inherit the promise!

Hebrews 6:12
that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The word says all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ. All throughout the Bible, we see people inheriting the promise of God. Through faith and patience, Abraham received Isaac, Joseph became prime minister of Egypt, David became king, Joshua captured Jericho,  so on and so forth. It's all written for our benefit and learning.

In order to imitate someone, you got to observe and study them and learn from them. The word says we are to imitate these heroes of faith who overcame all odds through faith and patience and inherited the promises of God. Faith believes and recieves the promise of God and patience holds on to it until it's manifested or inherited. It doesn't let go of the word irrespective of who says what or who does what or irrespective of how one feels. No matter what - It doesn't let go of the word of God. Faith and patience gives the word of God the environment it needs to come to full manifestation. Receive the promise and let it dwell in your heart and your mouth and keep it there, the word will become flesh and you will see the manifestation of God's promises in your life.

Friend, our biggest example to imitate is Jesus himself. In the midst of fierce opposition and persecution, He believed the Father's word and held on to it and because of his faith and patience,  He was raised from the dead and seated on the throne of the Almighty God at his right hand. Inherit your promise. This is your time. Jesus is Lord and the best is yet to come.

Awake to righteousness!

I Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

Jesus has given you right standing with God. Because of what Jesus has done and your faith in Him and His works, God accepts and approves you and treats you as if you never sinned. You are the righteousness of God in Christ.

To be righteous is one thing and to know that you are righteous is absolutely another thing. The verse says awake to righteousness, in other words be conscious that you are righteous. Have a righteousness consciousness. Being aware that God sees you exactly as He sees Jesus and He loves you as much as He loves Jesus. God finds no fault in you. You are holy and blameless in His sight. Meditating on your weaknesses, failures and mistakes or on not doing enough will make you sin conscious. Sin consciousnesses is the biggest enemy of faith. It makes prayer ineffective and leads to a miserable life. Meditating on the perfections and finished works of Jesus makes you righteous conscious. Righteousness consciousness is the foundation of a strong and deep faith. It's gives you freedom and joy in serving the Lord. Declare every day of your life, that you are the righteousness of God in Christ by the blood of Jesus.

Friend, build righteousness into your consciousness. You are not a sinner. You were a sinner but now you are the righteousness of God in Christ. As you consistently look to Jesus, the Righteous One, you will wake up to righteousness and live righteousness and do righteousness. Remember, it's one thing to be the righteousness of God in Christ and absolutely another to know that you are His righteousness. Awake to righteousness!
