Jesus is precious!

1 Peter 2.7
Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious, but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

Job. Health. Family. Publicity. Money. Position. Power. - Who or what is precious to you? The Apostle Peter says, for us who believe, Jesus is precious. His value to us is immeasurable.

He is the reason we are redeemed and made righteous. He is the reason we have the very nature of God in us and are going to heaven. Mary understood how precious he is, she poured out the bottle of very expensive perfume, worth a years wage on him without any hestitaion. Peter and the apostle gave up their lives for his name. How precious Jesus is! Is Jesus precious to you? Jesus is God in action. He is love in action. He is so precious that our brothers and sisters of past years would endure horrendous trials and persecutions and yet not deny or forsake him. He is more to us than all the gold of this earth.

Friend, He is precious to me because while I was useless to Him, He died and rose again for me. Because of His great love, He is precious to me. When you grow in the knowledge of who Jesus is, you will realise that Jesus is more precious than life itself. Hallelujah. Look at Jesus in the word and as you behold him, the Holy Spirit will reveal to you the preciousness of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. For to us who believe, He is precious!.

You have the faith of God.

Romans 12:3
​For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

As a born again child of God, you have the faith of God in you. Its in your born again spirit. Peter says you were born again not of corruptible seed but by incorruptible seed, which is the word of God which lives and abides forever. You were born again exactly the same way Jesus was born again, from the only begotten Son of God to the first begotten son of God through the word of God.

You have the same DNA as Jesus because you were born again by the same incorruptible seed, the word of the living God.You have the DNA of God. Every believer has been given the same measure of faith. No believer has more faith than the other. Each born again child of God has the same measure of faith.  Think about this, you have the same faith as Peter, as Paul, as John, as Jesus himself. The same faith that Jesus used to please his Father, to heal the sick, to cast out devils, to fulfill the will of God, to live his life, to resist sin, to defeat Satan and hell and to conquer the word, that same faith is in you right this moment. Be conscious that you have the faith of God in you. We don't have to pray for something we already have. Peter said through the righteousness of God and of Jesus, we have received like precious faith like them.

Friend, you have the same mountain moving, world overcoming faith of Jesus in you. Everything Jesus did, He did by faith. You have all the faith you need to live a victorious life and to do all that God has called you to do. We must be conscious that we have the same measure of faith and we must start using our faith. Build your faith by feeding on the word consistently and use your faith by speaking God's word and acting on the word. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. This is your time.

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.'
