Your God-Given Success in Good Works

Study The Word

Hebrews 13:21 KJV
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ.

Welcome to WhatTheWordSays’s first edition of our devotional “The Word For Today”, where I will be breaking down the word of God that we teach into bite size devotional nuggets that I trust will enrich your knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.
Today, we are unveiling another powerful truth about our God, the God of Peace! Many people wonder, “Does God know the things I have to deal with right now? Is God aware?” The truthful answer to that is – Yes, He is! When you study the prayers of the Holy Spirit, you’ll discover that our God, because of His love for you already made plans and prepared ahead of time for you. He prepared for your life and everything that you are currently facing and will ever face in this life. He prepared ahead of time for us to have this Word, this inspiration, this knowledge, and these provisions, so that we could prosper and live a prosperous life in this generation! So, you can laugh at those who say the Bible is outdated!
For instance, the King James Version in our opening verse says, “Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight.” The Passion Translation expands on this, saying, “may he work perfection into every part of you giving you ALL that you need to fulfill your destiny. And may he express through you all that is excellent and pleasing to him through your life-union with Jesus the Anointed One.” What a prayer point! What a truth!

Let’s dig in some more, so this “good work” (agathos ergon, ἀγαθός ἔργον). What does it mean? Our word study reveals it’s talking about a good business, a good employment, a good occupation, or good profession – a good work. The term is also used to refer to an excellent business, an excellent occupation – something that is useful, something that will benefit mankind, something that will improve the quality of people’s lives in service to God!

So, if your business, your work, your job fits into that category, it’s what the KJV refers to as a good work!  It get’s better, now, God’s will for your life in His infinite wisdom is to equip you with everything you need for that business, for that profession. Ephesians 2:10 puts it beautifully, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”   That means that God prepared ahead of time for you in this very generation. And not only that, our opening verse reveals that He prepared ahead of time for you to prosper and to succeed in every one of those good works, whatever they may be.
“But Shingi, how is this going to even happen or work for me in this current economic climate, where there seems to be unending scarcity, record high unemployment rates, people getting laid off, poverty, all around?” you may say.  See, that’s where the provisions in our opening verse come in, revealing that God prepared for us, to put us over not matter the economic climate that we find ourselves in. He did so by providing us with this prayer point of the Holy Spirit that we find in His Word that we can now use in prayer and declarations so that He can answer and prosper us in our every good work.

It says “He will make you perfect in every good work” which means, He will give you divine support to perfect and prosper you and provide for you everything you need in every good work.

So, is there a job, a business, a profession that you want to do or are currently doing and or are struggling in? Maybe you want change your work, or even get work, or improve in your current profession, start a new business maybe, or take the good work that you are already doing to the next and higher level.
The Bible says God’s will is to perfect you and to perfect everything about that job, that business, that profession, or even that work of the ministry. The Passion Translation puts it beautifully and says “work perfection…giving you ALL that you need to fulfill your destiny”, glory to God!
So that means that God is willing to give you everything you require, everything you need, so you can succeed in that business, that job, that occupation! He is willing to give you everything that you need to get into that job. What does this knowledge do for you? Well, now you know that you cannot fail! No, never, not with this prayer point of the Holy Spirit. You cannot fail in your business, you can never fail to get into a job, you can never fail in your ministry!
This is God’s will for you, these are the things that sets us apart from everybody else, and puts us over.  That God Almighty loves us, and prepared ahead of time for us, and made ready for us in a prayer point of the Holy Spirit that we can begin to use today in prayer, praying this perfect will of God over our lives unto unending success. It doesn’t matter the economic climate, you can never be disadvantaged, you can never fail.
This knowledge marks the end of struggle. You will fulfill your destiny perfectly, because God Almighty will give you everything you need!
You are a success! You are successful! You will succeed!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, You are the God of Peace that raised Jesus Christ up from the dead. Strengthen, complete, perfect, and equip me, working perfection into every part of my life with Your goodness so that I may perfectly carry out Your will. Provide me with everything I need for every good work. Heavenly Father, grant me, equip me, with every good thing that I require to fulfill my destiny in Christ Jesus. Work and express in and through me Father, all that is excellent and well-pleasing to You in my business, job, work, occupation, and ministry, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
The God of Peace that raised Jesus Christ up from the dead, perfects, and equips me, giving me everything that I need working perfection into every part of my life with His goodness to prosper. I am equipped to perfectly fulfill my destiny in my business, in my profession, and in the work of the ministry. God provides me with everything I need to succeed. I’m a success! I am divinely equipped today and always, sponsored with every good thing that I require to fulfill my destiny in that business, job, profession, and in the work of the ministry, which are the good works he prepared for me ahead of time in Christ Jesus!

Eternal Weight of Glory

Study the Word

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 KJV
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

In this life, pressures, persecutions, and troubles are certain and abound, hehe! The bible never promised us that our life in Christ will be void of these. On the contrary, I’m sure you found out that the moment you gave your life to Christ, or the moment you began to take your relationship and call of God to next and higher level seriously, it’s like all hell has broken loose.  Don’t worry, and never worry about that. These are what I call the true signs of and signals of the authenticity of your salvation and or the authenticity of your calling. These challenges are evidences that either validate your new life in Christ, or validate your calling. As a matter fact, without these your salvation or your calling is actually questionable.  So, when you see these things in your life, don’t start crying “Lord, why me?” but rather rejoice because what you’re experiencing is as a result of the authenticity of your salvation, and the authenticity of your calling.
Furthermore, it is an opportunity for the glory that is upon your life to shine forth brightly to overthrow what your facing.

ἐλαφρός  elaphros light – light in weight, easy, small weight

Now, the things that you are going through, the Apostle Paul describes in our opening scripture as “light afflictions,” temporary hardships that are “but for a moment.” Hey!!
Why? Because they are working for us “a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!” That means, that in order for the reality of the glorious life we now live to be revealed, they require these “light afflictions” to set the stage for a “glory reveal”. So how do we ensure that we get to expose and experience and see this glory that is in us?  He says, this glorious reality is forged not by focusing on what’s visible, but on the things which are  unseen.

θλίψις  thlipsis  affliction – a pressing, pressing together, pressure, oppression, affliction, distress, pressure anguish, burden, persecution, tribulation, trouble

The things that are seen – the visible attacks, the physical weapons, the overwhelming circumstances – are temporal. They are temporary and will pass. But the things which are not seen – the eternal truths, the eternal life that is inside you, the Holy Spirit of God who lives inside you, the innumerable company of angels that surround you, the spiritual weapons, the unwavering Word of God, and especially the name of Jesus Christ – these are eternal. Our power and victory come from looking at, meditating on, focusing on and wielding these unseen, eternal realities. This is where our triumph truly lies! So take time to meditate on these unseen realities today, and begin to bask in the weight of God’s eternal glory.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that the present afflictions that I may be facing are light and temporary, working for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. I choose to fix my gaze not on the seen, but on the unseen realities of Your Kingdom, knowing that these eternal truths are my source of power, wisdom, provision, health, joy, peace protection and victory in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
Any light afflictions that come my way or that I am facing right now are temporary; I’m strengthened and encouraged to face them and to go through them with a winning mentality!  The glory of Christ in me is my source of strength and wisdom to overcome.  I look not at the seen, but at the unseen word of God and the visions it produces in me always. The name of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and His eternal truths are my unshakeable foundation and my mighty weapons, and I use them. I am focused on these eternal sources of glory everyday, hallelujah!

The Pursuit of Excellence

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:7 KJV
Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

Have you ever considered the true measure of your daily endeavors? The Apostle Paul, in his fervent prayer for the Corinthians which is of several of what we call the prayers of the Spirit, reveals a profound truth about God’s expectation for our lives: that we would do “that which is honest”. But what exactly does “honest” entail in the divine economy? It’s far more than mere integrity; the Greek word kalos, translated as “honest,” paints a vivid picture of God’s will for us.

καλός kalos – excellent, admirable, beautiful, magnificent.

This isn’t just about avoiding wrong; it’s about actively pursuing the highest standard! It is God’s will for your life, for you to do things that are excellent. When you’re on your job, you’re doing things excellently, you’re producing excellence. Imagine this: everything you put your hand to, every project, every interaction, every assignment – it should carry the hallmark of excellence. It should be admirable, beautiful, and yes, magnificent! This is how your mind should be framed.  To do anything less, to do a “shanty job” , the Bible actually calls that “doing evil”. What a revelation! It is a standard of excellence that the Apostle Paul was revealing to us when he followed up our opening verse by saying, “…for we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth”(2 Corinthians 13:8).

So, everything I get involved with, that I do, I do it excellently, I do it magnificently, I do it and it’s admirable, for I can do nothing against the truth but for the truth. This is my mindset, this is my confession. This conscious pursuit of excellence is not a burden; it is the will of God for your life. It frames your mind and empowers you to release declarations for your day. When people look at the work you do, it should be admirable, making them say, “Wow, look at that!”  Even if right now you thinking, “I don’t know if I can operate at this level Shingi?” There is a truth about your life that I have come to tell you today, ha-ha!  Even if you have never done anything excellently in your entire life, it changes today!  Listen, the truth is the glory of Christ in you has the innate ability to produce excellence. There are riches of the glory that are in you that you need to know about, be conscious of and start to walk in.
This is part of what Colossians 1:27 is talking about, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Awaken to this glorious life of excellence that Christ brought you into and look at yourself in the mirror everyday, or before you embark on any task and say ” I do excellent things today, in the name of Jesus Christ, Christ in me is producing the glory of excellence!”
This is the will of God for you in Christ.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word that reveals Your perfect will for my life. I thank You for the grace to only do that which is honest, excellent, admirable, and magnificent in Your sight, doing all things for the truth of the gospel of Christ. Thank You Father, that today by the excellent glory of Christ in me everything I lay my hands upon to do is excellent, beautiful, admirable, and magnificent, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Speak The Word
By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I do all things for the truth. I only do that which is honest, excellent, admirable, and magnificent, because of the glory of Christ in me. When people look at my life and my work, they see the excellence of God, in the name of Jesus!

Prospering in Pursuit of His Purpose

No More Remembrance of Sin

Study The Word

Hebrews 10:2; 17
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

There’s a spiritual reality that many believers have not yet grasped fully – the complete elimination of sin knowledge and sin consciousness in heaven. When you understand that there is no more remembrance of sin in heaven because of the blood of Jesus Christ, you begin to operate from a high spiritual dimension of consciousness and boldness that is immune to accusation and intimidation.

ἁμαρτία  harmatia  sin  –  sin, offence, violate divine law, miss the mark of divine law

This is what being made free from sin by the death of Jesus Christ is about. But unfortunately God’s children are not being taught the undiluted truth of God’s Word.  In our opening verses, verse 17 in particular says “and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more”.  How emphatic can God be about this?  He doesn’t just say “sin” but “sin and iniquity” not just sin, but “sin and iniquity” , God says I DON’T REMEMBER.  Wait, and may be you need to go and check this in your own bible, or in as many bibles as you can find just to verify, good luck, ha-ha!  Wow, for God Almighty – to say this about “sin” is already too much for minds brought up in religion but He doesn’t even stop there; He says “iniquities”.  Do you know what iniquity is?  If God says this, who is anyone to say otherwise?  Actually, I will do a thorough study in a separate edition about this but for today I’d love to show you something amazing about the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  ἀνομία  anomia  iniquity  –  transgression of divine law, lawlessness, habitual transgression, wickedness, unrighteousness

You see, the blood of Jesus Christ is not ordinary blood.  The Bible says, the life of the flesh is in the blood, but strikingly the body of Jesus Christ right now has no blood in it. And also the Bible says that His blood is in heaven right now, and that His blood is still alive with His life; and not only that but that the blood of Jesus Christ is in heaven and it speaks; and that it is still speaking (Hebrews 12:22 – 24).  Wait, wait, wait! Please, you’d need to go back and read that again. Maybe you can read it over again at least ten times, it is good for you mind.  Why do I say this? I recommend this beacuse there is something that the Bible says happens to your mind when you ruminate about the blood of Jesus Christ in meditation.  The bible says it purges your mind. It cleanses it and cleans it from the dead works of sin consciousness, to serve the living God. (Hebrews 9:14) That is the power of the speaking blood of Jesus Christ.

μνάομαι  mnaomai  remember  –  remind, recall to mind, keep in mind, recollect, mindful, remind to punish

The church of Jesus Christ has not preached this enough, they have not preached  about it as they should. But even if they don’t, the blood of Jesus Christ is doing the preaching by itself; it does the speaking by itself glory to God! So, now what is it saying? Hey, what is the blood of Jesus Christ saying? It says “You are justified, you are not guilty, you are free, you are sanctified and perfected FOREVER”! It speaks the words of our justification!

The blood of Jesus Christ is alive, and it is alive in heaven speaking, speaking, speaking the Word of our justification, speaking for the purpose of vitally purging, silencing, cleansing your conscience from sin knowledge, guilt and sin consciousness forever, thank you Lord Jesus. Not only that, it silences any and every accusation of sin and iniquity in heaven; and also the blood of Jesus Christ erased the memory of sin and iniquity from the mind of God and through out all the courts of heaven.
Whenever you hear Satan’s voice of accusation, and guilt coming against you get up start declaring “thank You Lord Jesus Christ for Your blood”.  If you miss the mark, dont start crying “Father forgive me, please, forgive me I’m sorry”.  The bible says He already knows you are sorry, but for whatever it is He can no longer recall.  And that is because the blood of Jesus Christ is too loud in heaven, it’s speaking!  If condemnation, guilt doesn’t go away, add the communion to it, and meditate on the scriptures of the blood of Jesus Christ, and see what it will begun to do to your conscience; and watch the devil, his thoughts of sin and it’s consequence, condemnation and even those nasty habits that were trying to hold you, and any other yucky stuff flee from you!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the blood of Jesus Christ that has purged my conscience from sin consciousness forever. Just as the worshippers once purged should have no more conscience of sins, I declare that I am completely free from ongoing sin awareness. Heavenly Father, through the power of Your Spirit, and the voice of the blood of Jesus Christ purge my conscience right now and forever, from dead works and evil thoughts in the name of Jesus Christ.

Speak The Word
I have no more conscience of sins because the blood of Jesus Christ has purged my conscience forever. I am free from sin consciousness and I walk in blood consciousness, speaking better things than the voice of condemnation!

Called To Forgive

Study The Word

Colossians 3:13 KJV
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Forgiveness is not just a suggestion for the child of God; it is a powerful principle of our nature and character as God’s children.  This is because, forgiveness is an integral part of God’s love nature and is also a sure sign that someone is genuinely a child of a forgiving God.
A true child of a forgiving God will find that forgiveness flows effortlessly from them, even under the most difficult circumstances so that there can never be anyone with excuse for any unforgiveness. Conversely, an individual who professes to be a child of God yet struggles with forgiveness either misunderstands their divine identity or misrepresents their claim of being a child of God.

χαρίζομαι  charizomai  forgiving – give forgiveness, give pardon, give rescue, give favour, give kindness, restore one to another

As the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, we are called to love all people with Christ’s love, a love that flows in and through us with an abundance of forgiveness. So, it is natural for us to forgive, and it shouldn’t be a problem for us at all, because of the nature of Christ in us. This divine love that is in us empowers us not only to forgive, but to also bless all people with all manner of spiritual blessing we have in Christ Jesus.  no matter what the circumstance is, forgive that person today, especially those who you think do not deserve it.

Our Pray The Word and Speak The Word segments below are just an introductory model of how you can practically begin to walk and live in the power of forgiveness.  Learn it and begin to practice this today and assume your true identity in Christ. The world is filled with too many hurting and broken people filled with hate and disappointments that need you to answer your call. Your forgiving them could just be their only glimpse of the reality of the loving nature of the Living God. Refuse to reduce your calling to the lowly devilish lifestyle of walking in unforgiveness because God has called you to a higher life – you have been called to forgive.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for making me into Your righteousness in Christ Jesus, with Your very love nature now on the inside of me. Father I forgive today every person and every situation or circumstance that has ever wronged, disappointed, persecuted, or hurt me in any way in the name of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father as Your love is shed abroad in my heart by Your Spirit, I love all people, even those who have done or said hurtful things towards me. I choose to forgive as You have forgiven me, in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I love all people with Christ’s love that flows in and through me. I bless this hurting world of people with all the spiritual blessings of love and forgiveness, peace, grace, and kindness that I have in Christ Jesus. I forgive today every situation and every person who has ever wronged, disappointed, persecuted, or hurt me in the name of Jesus Christ.

Incorruption vs. Immortality: A Clear Distinction

Study The Word

Romans 8:11 KJV
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

There is a vital distinction that many Christians including ministers kind of miss often confusing “incorruption” with “immortality,”. But, the Word of God has made a very a clear distinction between the two. Immortality is when this body completely transcends death, never able to die again and that the Bible says is reserved for the second appearing of Jesus Christ, when we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye!  1 John 3:2 says “…but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is”.

 Notice the order, it doesn’t say that “we shall be like Him and then He shall appear”.  The sequence of events are clearly defined in scripture not only here but in several other verses from different writers on the same subject.
Concerning immortality and incorruption, the Apostle Paul communicated the distinction to Timothy, where he said to him that Jesus Christ is the “only one that has immortality – athanasia dwelling the light that no man can approach unto”( 1 Timothy 6:16).  That was in his first letter to the young minister.  And then in his second letter to him in 2 Timothy 1:12 he said that this Jesus Christ “brought life and (wrongly translated) ‘immortality’ instead of ‘incorruption – aphtharsia’ to light through the gospel”.   This means the gospel gives men life – zoe and incorruption – aphtharsia. But the translators in the KJV translated it wrongly and put “immortality” there instead of “incorruption”. This caused a lot of confusion but its clear to see that the Apostle Paul was not confused.

ἀφθαρσία  aphtharsia  incorruption – incorrupt, incorruptibility, unending existence, deathlessness

Now, the Bible clearly reveals to us that we the children of God who are alive and remain have right now through the Gospel of Jesus Christ incorruption – aphtharsia, and not immortality – athanasia.
What is aphtharsia? The best description of incorruption – aphtharsia is found in Romans 8:11 where Apostle Paul powerfully describes aphtharsia for us: “If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also shall quicken – “give life to” your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”  What does this mean? It means your physical body is still mortal, but it is being quickened – made alive by the life source of the indwelling Spirit of God that now lives in your body!  This is the state that the Apostle Paul revealed to us by the Spirit as incorruption – aphtharsia, where the divine, eternal life of God is actively working and pulsating within your mortal frame, making it resistant to the effects of sin, sickness, and decay and death producing incorruptibility!  This is our glimpse into immortality, but our bodies are not immortal yet.  It’s a foretaste of the immortality of the body that is to come, which we experience now through the indwelling Spirit and the incorruptible seed of God’s Word that is now giving your mortal body life, Glory to God!
Our opening verse reveals the supernatural mechanism by which incorruption functions in our lives. It’s not theoretical or theological; it’s a dynamic vital experience made into reality by the Holy Spirit! It says “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then that same Spirit will quicken – give life to, make alive, infuse with divine vitality – your mortal bodies!” Hallelujah, what a glorious truth.

ἀθανασία  athanasia – undying, everlasting, immortality, deathlessness

So, your body is not yet immortal, but because of the indwelling Spirit of God, it is constantly being supernaturally energized and sustained by the Spirit of God producing in us deathlessness. This is the last of the Seven Miracles of Righteousness – deathlessness.  But why deathlessness?  Because death can no longer operate in the life of a child of God, which is why the Bible calls when a child of God “dies” it doesn’t say that they have “died”, but it says that they are “asleep”. Anyway, God willing I will get into the details of Seven Miracles Of Righteousness – Deathlessness again very soon.  Deathlessness is the result of incorruption – aphtharsia, why sickness, disease and infirmity cannot take root, why decay is powerless, and why your body can overcome every natural processes of corruption by the power of the indwelling Spirit Of God.
It’s the Spirit at work, mingling God’s eternal life with your physical being – this, is incorruption! This is not a teaching, I live this life, I’ve lived this life for decades now, I have proved this word, that is why you’ll never find any records of me sick from any hospital under the sun for the past 2 decades. I don’t know what it is like to be a patient, the only time I go to the hospital is when I’m going to heal the sick! This is my reality. Believe the Word of God, believe and understand this truth, child of God, and leverage it!  Aphtharsia is at work in you, awaken unto it. It’s not a future promise; it’s a present day reality activated by the indwelling Spirit and your knowledge and daily confession of this truth!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of your Holy Spirit who guided us into this truth of incorruption. I thank You Father, that Your Spirit dwelling in me quickens – vitally gives life to my physical body, infusing it with Your divine life and making it incorruptible. I live by the power of Your indwelling Spirit today in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I declare that my body is quickened and vitalized by the Spirit of God who dwells in me! I walk in the realm of incorruption everyday, knowing that divine life is actively preserving and empowering my physical being, resisting decay and sickness in the name of Jesus Christ!

Choose life

Study The Word

Romans 8:2 KJV
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Three thousand and half years ago, a man, a Prophet named Moses preaches a message being moved by the Holy Spirit, probably not even knowing that it was about an eternal truth of what is now our life in Christ.  And that truth will be concluded by the Apostle Paul, a truth that will transform your life forever: you have been made “free from the law of sin and death”!  The word of God we find in the Bible is not a suggestion or just random nice ideas and theories; these are the realities and everyday experiences of those who have fully accepted all the truth of all the finished works of Jesus Christ.  The law of the Spirit of life in Christ is a spiritual law that has superseded a destructive one – the law of sin and death.  So for example, just as gravity is a law, so is the “law of sin and death” being a spiritual principle that operates in those who have not accepted Jesus Christ. But now, there’s also a higher law, just as aerodynamics is also a law, so is the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” is a superior spiritual law working in the hearts of those who have accepted Jesus Christ.

ἐλευθερόω  eleutheroo  made me free – set at liberty, liberate, exempt, make free, set to freedom

Think of it like this: if a person jumps of a high cliff, they will fall due to the law of gravity. Nobody has seen gravity with their eyes or to isolate and capture it in a test tube, but we’ve all come to know that although it is invisible, it surely is real because we have seen it’s effects.  On the other hand, if the same person were to be on a plane, they’d defy the law of gravity because a higher law—aerodynamics— now being at work, although invisible we know it’s there because we see it’s effects.  Similarly, in the reality of the spiritual realm that govern human existence are these two laws at work in the lives of men – the law of sin and death, and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus; although invisible we see their effect in the lives of men.  Galatians 5:19 – 21 details for us the effects of the law of sin in the hearts of men, and Galatians 5:22 – 24 reveals to us the effects of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus; the latter unto eternal death and eternal separation from God and the former to eternal life and eternal union with Him.

When you receive Jesus Christ into your heart, the sin nature that is empowered by the law of sin and death is supplanted and you receive a new heart, a new life that is empowered by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ.
This higher law of life in Christ empowers you to live a superior life than the natural human life.
You are no longer compelled by an invisible appetite towards sin, because a greater power, a greater force, a superior spiritual law, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has separated you from sin and death and liberated you for the superior and excellent life of Christ’s righteousness.  You now have the power at work in you that overcomes temptation when it comes, to resist the devil when he comes and to live in the fulness of the resurrection life in Christ Jesus, but it won’t happen automatically, you have to choose it.  Whether you know this or not, the truth is that life is one of choice; choice between sin and death or the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus; and choosing Jesus Christ is the only way of choosing life.
Moses at age 120 at the conclusion of his ministry said to the children of Israel in one of his greatest teachings and departing sermons in Deuteronomy 30:14 – 19 “But the word is very nigh unto you, in thy mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it. 15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil; 19 …I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,”

How do I choose life Shingi? The Apostle Paul being moved by the Holy Spirit concludes Moses’s teaching over a thousand years later in Romans 10:8 – 10 and says “But what saith it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Imagine meeting Moses one day and saying to him, “Sir, I heard your message, I made the right choice, thank you”. And then bumping into the Apostle Paul and saying “Sir, that letter to the church at Rome, I put it work, thank you Sir, I lived the superior life in Christ”. Oh what a day.
Choose the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus today.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life today, and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. I declare that I operate under this higher superior law, living in Your life and power. I am free from sin’s compulsion and death’s grasp living in the liberty with which Christ made me free, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death, for what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit!

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Have you ever wondered, how is it that the Apostle Paul said that we have become joint heirs, of a joint body and joint partakers of the promises in Christ as the opening verse says? I remember the day I found this verse and studied it, what a day! My life changed, I could never think of myself the same from that day. Let me show it to you and I trust that this would do the same for you.

This edition is also, so that you can understand my sunesis in the mystery of Christ.

The entire chapter 3 of Ephesians brings tears to my eyes; it is very personal to my journey and life as a minister over the years.
But today we’ll focus on a few of the verses.
You can never think of yourself small or insignificant again after this.

συγκληρονόμος  sugklēronomos  ‘fellowheirs’ – joint heir, one who obtains something assigned to himself with others, a joint participant, heir together, heir with

  That being said, in order for what we have in the opening verse to be established, certain criteria had to have been met. Now, what is translated “fellowheirs” there, is a legal Greek term that literally means “joint – heirs“, not “fellowheirs” or “co-heirs” as you’d have it butchered by some other translations we have out there. Rather this term is a legal term that meant that, altogether two or more people have joint-ownership and not shared ownership as co-heirs suggests. Co-heir is when multiple people would have percentage title ownership of the whole inheritance.  Sugklēronomos means that we all have 100 percent title ownership together, and without each other no one can have any title ownership, you get it? That’s sugklēronomos – joint-heir.

σύσσωμος  sussōmos  same body – joint-body, belonging to the same body

Furthermore, to get into a position where you legally become a joint-heir, joint-body and a joint-partaker of the promises in Christ through the gospel, you realize that this can only be if there first is a joint-crucifixion. By implication this would mean that everything that Jesus Christ did on the cross, he didn’t do it for Himself nor did He also do it as Himself; actually He did it ‘as you’ – implying that YOU did it. Hallelujah! Have you wondered what Jesus meant in His prayer in John 17:20 – 23? This is it.
This is what the gospel of substitution is about.
This understanding of the gospel is what led the Apostle Paul to declare “I am crucified with Christ”!

 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

Now the ramifications of this are enormous and are of an insurmountable eternal consequence. Lets go through it in sequence from crucifixion to enthronement.
 The word translated into “crucified with – sustauro” is literally joint-crucifixion. In the legalities of God’s spiritual law, this means that when Jesus Christ was being crucified, you were the one being crucified together with Him in a joint-crucifixion.  Meaning, that before God Almighty, you were crucified on that day.
Which now provided the legality of us being “buried together with Him – sunthapto”, a joint-burial (Romans 6:4).  Which now allows for the provisions of Ephesians 2:5 – 6 so that we could now be “made-alive-together – suzoopoieo” which is a joint-reanimation, haha!  Let’s finish verse 6, it has two more powerful words; it says that God also “raised us up together  – sunegeiro”, that being a joint-resurrection; and lastly God “made us sit together – sugkathizo” which is a joint-seating, which I refer to as the “joint-enthronement“. Hey!
From joint-crucifixion to joint-enthronement.
What a gospel! This is the gospel of Christ!

In the court of God’s justice system, ever since that day that Jesus was crucified going forward, everyone who would receive Him was crucified on that day.  That means that you were also buried on that day. And if you were buried together with Him, it also means that you went to hell on that day.  And for you to ever go to hell again after receiving Jesus Christ would be double jeopardy. And when you went to hell, guess what, you spoiled principalities and powers together with Him on that day, and defeated Satan and his cohorts for all eternity.  It didn’t end there.

After you defeated Satan, principalities and powers together with Him, you were also raised together with Him, and you also ascended together with Him and were made to sit together with Him – a joint-enthronement. Glory to God!
So now Jesus Christ is legally the “King of ‘us’ kings and Lord of ‘us’ lords, because He successfully …made us kings and priests unto God and His Father, …through His own blood.” (1 Timothy 6:15; Revelations 1:6)
What could be better than this?
This is our reality, this is my knowledge, my understanding of the mystery of Christ.
The Apostle Paul in verse 4 to 6 of our opening scripture says, “…whereby when you read, you may understand my knowledge – sunesis in the mystery of Christ. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promises in Christ Jesus, through the gospel,”

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of Your Son, of whom I was crucified together with, raised together with and am now seated together in heavenly places together with Him, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Thank You Father that by this I am fully aware that I have become a joint-heir, and of a joint-body and  joint partaker of Your promise in Christ through the gospel.

Speak The Word
I establish today, in the name of Jesus Christ, that when Jesus died, I died with Him, when He was buried, I was buried with Him, when he defeated Satan, all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named – I defeated them together with Him. And when Jesus Christ was raised, I was raised together with Him and today I am now seated together with Him in the heavenly places of authority, in the name of Jesus Christ, with all things under my feet!

Jesus Abolished Sin

Study The Word

Hebrews 9:26 KJV
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

There’s a truth that I’ve shared for years from my time of discovery of what Jesus Christ did for us that should ignite joy and freedom in your spirit; and that is: Jesus Christ abolished sin! Hahaa!

 What does it mean to abolish something? To abolish means to formally put an end to something, whether a system, a practice, or a long standing institution. So, the bible doesn’t say that Jesus forgave sin; it says He abolished it. He didn’t just do a little something here and there to sin in order to help us manage and negotiate our lives with sin, no! The Bible says that He canceled it!

This is profound, and it’s essential for us to grasp this reality to truly live the victorious life of sinlessness, which is a reality He provided for us through the gospel. Sinlessness is one of the Seven Miracles of Righteousness, a revelation that I received from the Lord some years ago which changed my life completely and I trust that by the grace of God I will share it with you fully and I know it will do the same for you. For now I will share with you some nuggets about it. Let’s go!

ἀθέτησις  athetēsis  put away –  abolition, disannulling, cancellation, put away, repudiation

So, the Bible in our opening verse says that when Jesus “appeared at the end of the age“, His purpose was so that He could “put away sin forever by the sacrifice of himself.“

The word there translated “put away”, sigh, I mean, you know some times when I read some bible translations that are out there I could get a little upset because, you read something very important like this and then you check the original word and sometimes I’m left wondering about the translators “why did you do this?” But that’s a topic we can get into another time, but if you find out what the meaning of the word is you’d understand why.  Like I was saying, the word translated “put away” is the Greek athetēsis, and athetēsis means to abolish. You get it now? Absolutely incredible! This is what that scripture is saying.  And this, that Jesus accomplished in His abolishing sin wasn’t a temporary fix like that of the yearly atonement like under the Old Testament. This was a once-for-all, Eternal Abolition! Oh glory!

Now, the very legal power and authority of sin, its right to influence you, condemn you, oppress you and impose it’s consequence on you was stripped away at the cross by Jesus Christ forever. This means that sin has no legal claim over your life anymore, hallelujah!

This understanding impacts your daily walk forever.  You can’t fully know and understand this truth and live the same, never.  You see, sinlessness is not about you ‘striving to be a better person’ or trying to do the right thing or trying to not do wrong in your own strength and understanding, no!  Someone says, “But Shingi, sinlessness is impossible, nobody can be sinless”.  See, anyone who thinks that sinlessness is impossible, like they like to say “only Jesus was sinless”.   What you have before you is a person who does not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. That person does not understand the passion of Christ. That’s the issue. That’s why every year on this platform during Easter I go into the details in The Passion series to try and help people understand the gospel. This topic reminds me of the sinless merch that I wear; and everywhere I go it always without fail provokes a conversation which I like because it always gives me the opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them.

When you understand the technicalities of what Jesus Christ accomplished with His death, burial and resurrection in detail, and in accordance with God’s standard for righteousness, that’s only when you’ll understand what sinlessness is, and how Jesus Christ made it possible.  The problem we have is we have people including ministers mounting pulpits who don’t understand what the gospel of Jesus Christ is. So they’re on there imposing their ignorance on those who do not care to find out the truth of God’s Word for themselves. So they say what they feel, and not what the word says! And then all I see is Christians being bashed by ministers every other day but also don’t know how to help themselves, and the minister does not know what to do with them, so he’s also frustrated with the people yelling on the pulpit “stop sinning, don’t sin!” and guess what? The do the very thing he’s threatening them not to do. What needs to happen is for the minister to prayefully study and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, what does it mean? So that he can be empowered by God’s truth to help the people.

Now, because of what Jesus Christ did to sin for every child of God, sin is now an outside force. It is no longer something that you will have to battle with from within. Knowing this, you’d also have to understand that sin and sinlessness is also not a respecter of your good intentions and your desire of wanting to be good, and to do the right thing. Sinlessness is about exercising legal authority. Living in sinlessness is about living in authority hayaya! Living in the legal authority and power of the truth of what Jesus Christ did to sin on the cross, and imposing that authority of that finished work in your life. We are talking about spiritual authority, sinlessness is about exercising spiritual authority in the reinforcement of sins abolition.
Maybe let me bring this to something you can understand – “sin and demons are addressed in same manner like they’re in the same category!”  You get it? Oooh if only you could catch this, I pray.
Sin is a spiritual outside force just as demons are spiritual outside forces that want to influence and oppress you into the wrong things.  So, from today you will have to impose sins abolition in your life for you to enter into sinlessness, its about authority, authority in the fulfillment of Jesus’s abolishment of sin, and it’s consequences in your life forever. Just like someone can be without demons so can someone be without sin living in sinlessness! Now if you don’t know this, the deception of sin will be running circles around you all your life leaving you weak, condemned and ineffective always polluting the atmosphere with forgive me prayers.

 Jesus Christ came and dealt with it and He abolished it, and then accepting that reality and truth and continuing to enforce that finished work of Christ over your life and over your environment is what sinlessness is. This is beyond good morals and nice behaviour.

This is the righteousness of God, the scepter of the righteousness of God – which is a demonstration of God’s authority over sin and lawlessness (Hebrews 1:8  – 9).  It is the only way you will ever come out of those unwanted habits, permanently. There’s no other way.  Try to treat those things nice and trust me those habits will whip you nice everytime, and you’ll be the one living a weak and frustrated life.

Lets run it back slowly – The bible says Jesus Christ abolished sin, I need that to sink in, I need to soak in you.  You are now free to live as if sin doesn’t exist for you, in terms of its power, accusation and condemnation, do you understand what that means? I hope to God that you would understand this stuff!  Christ is now in you, and you are in Christ, and in Him, the bible says there is no sin! (1 John 3:5) Sin has been dealt with definitively. From today until Jesus comes begin to live in this glorious reality and authority of your freedom from sin and it’s effects and consequences, because of Jesus’s abolition of sin and all its effects!
God bless you.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I rejoice and give You thanks that Jesus Christ has abolished sin by the sacrifice of Himself. He has put away sin, canceled its power, and removed its accusation and condemnation from my life. I declare that I live in the glorious reality of Christ’s finished work of sinlessness, living everyday in the freedom Christ purchased for me, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
Sin has been abolished! Jesus canceled sin for me! I am free from sin’s power and influence, accusation and condemnation. I live a victorious life in Christ Jesus everyday of my life, thank you Lord Jesus!

The Sceptre Of Righteousness

Study The Word

Hebrews 1:8
But to the Son He says; “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore, God, Your God has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

As you grow in your relationship and knowledge of God, also in the things of God and you start to become more acquainted with your maturing in Christ you will start to discover a pattern of things about your life. Things will clearly start to go in a particular direction that you can now see if you’re attentive. Your life no longer just goes in the natural process of human existence from cradle to the grave.

There now is a defined meaning and purpose beyond yourself, the things that you like, or want to achieve, even your little beautiful family.  The Spirit of God begins to expose you and raise you for a life of impact, because He the Spirit of God is an impactful personality.  And the more you begin to walk and recognize Him in your life and in your growth as a child of God you’ll begin to see your life become a life of impact, not just existing and passing by.

One of the things the Spirit of God will begin to awaken in your spirit is the awakening of the divine attributes that the Lord Jesus Christ  brought us into through His death burial and resurrection that we now have at our disposal that makes life as a Christian exciting.  The biggest of them all is in “being made into the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus” and “the righteousness of God being deposited into our human spirit”.  This is the biggest miracle of Christianity.  Then you will know for yourself that this thing about Jesus Christ is not about religion, its about righteousness, purpose, power and impact.  There is a purpose about your life, there is power that is at work in you backed by His authority which effect changes according to the power of God; and then there is impact. Hey! I am impactful! I live a purposeful life! The power of God is upon my life! Yes! I live an impactful life. I feel it, I know it, I experience it, yes! What a life.

Looking at our opening scripture there are some things there, that when you know and understand your life stops being ordinary. Let’s  look into them as they are revealed in the opening scripture above.

It says, “A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom”

The scepter of righteousness: This is talking about a placing into the spiritual authority of righteousness – authority in this world and authority in the world of spirits; that means things visible and invisible.  There is a divine dominion, authority and rulership unleashed into your spirit. God’s righteousness is a spiritual authority. It’s beyond doing things right, it’s about expressing what is right and enforcing rightness with spiritual power and spiritual authority; and because it is His righteousness that means it is with His authority. That is an attribute of God’s righteousness that you receive as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Genesis chapter one is the perfect display of the scepter of His righteousness at work. It is a demonstration of His creative ability backed by His power and authority to create, restore and perfect even when things have gone out of order. So, with this at work in you and you being conscious of it, you begin to express a boldness to command the unfavourable things confronting your life that are in this world, and then also, sickness, demons, and spirits in the spiritual world and see them respond in favour to your demands.  It gives to you an authority and divine creative ability to command and recreate the direction of your life.  Stop watching life go by and get up, acquaint yourself with the Spirit of God in a living relationship with Him and take charge of the course of your life. The Spirit of God is the Supreme supplier of divine power, and divine energy to effect changes. When you do this, life stops just happening to you.  You begin to make things happen. Not just by mere human effort but by effort backed by the power of the righteousness of God at work in your spirit.  You fall in love with the righteousness of God that is in you as you grow in it, and lawlessness becomes distasteful to you and you start to reign in this life because of the scepter of righteousness. Listen, there’s no amount of religion that can do this for you. This is the working of God.

Next up we have, “anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions”

The oil of gladness: hey, there is a joy that comes upon your life because of the gift of God’s righteousness in you.  Such that no matter what’s happening around you or in your life; what they did to you or said or what they didn’t do or did not say, whatever!  Your meditations of being the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus will always result in joy and laughter.  When you wake up and say, “Yes, it was my fault, I messed up, I know; but… but, I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”.  You’ll discover depression can’t creep into your life and take root. What mental health? What is that to the child of God? Where? “The kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” You will always be joyful, hopeful and excited about your life. Who and what is to depress who? You are the righteousness of God in Christ. There is joy! There is peace! Awaken to it. Why do I say these things? Firstly because it is what the Word says (pun intended), and secondly, I have been through a lot of these things and I have come to know that in all these things we are more than conquerors. You will come out on top. No matter what you’re currently facing. You are victorious. Just stand on the word of God no matter what happens.

Cheer Up!

Happy New Month To You!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, Your Throne is forever O God. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.  As the righteousness of God in Christ I boldly use the authority that is at my disposal over the course of my life, even over sickness, and the spiritual beings of hell. With Your love that is shed abroad in my heart, I am a lover of righteousness and hater of lawlessness. Thank You for filling my days with joy and laughter for You have anointed me with the oil of gladness more than my companions in the name Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I’m reigning in this life because of the scepter of righteousness that is work in and through me. I’m moving forward and upward; becoming greater and greater by the day. The love of God in me has made me a lover of righteousness and a hater of lawlessness, therefore my God has anointed me with the oil of gladness more than my companions.  The joy of the Lord is my strength.  And In all these things, I’m filled with joy and laughter; in all these things I’m more than a conqueror!

The Accuser Cast Down & Conquered

Study The Word

Revelation 12:9-11
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.  10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.

The accuser of the brethren has been cast down from heaven and he has also been conquered, and no longer has access to the courts of God to bring accusations against you, glory to God! Considering that the devil is one that doesn’t like to be exposed; this portion of scripture is a striking reveal.  Another thing is, I like the tenses that are used in our opening scripture, they are very telling: firstly it says “the great dragon WAS cast out”, and another striking thing about the context is that it distinguishes between “the world” and what the devil did to them and; “the brethren” and how they were accused of him and what the brethren did to him.  So, the world was deceived by him, but the brethren were not deceived by him so they overcame him. “Hey, I have overcome the devil!” Again notice the tenses; “overcame”. So I am not trying to overcome him, or praying to overcome him or fasting to overcome him – I already “overcame him, by the blood of Lamb”. This is the past tense nature of true prophecy, where God’s Word reveals to you the end. See when you study the scripture you’ll discover that true prophecy doesn’t communicate in the future tense. We will deal with that another time.

καταβάλλω  kataballō  cast down –  to throw down a thing without caring where it falls, to scatter down, thrust down, cast down

 Another thing that I want to bring to your notice is the word translated ”overcame”; that word is – nikao which means conquered.  Never ever be afraid of the devil! He is a cast out, a cast down, he is a cast away! These are the descriptions given to him by the word of God, haha! And you need to call him by what the word of God calls him.  A cast away, a cast down, a cast out!  That’s why Jesus said, “them that believe…in my name they shall cast out devils!” (Mark 16:17).
Because he is a cast out, a cast away and a cast down. The word of God also says he is a conquered one, but if you are not a part of the brethren, the Word of God says that he is deceiving you already, you are already under his deception. You have to remember that prior to Jesus Christ going to heaven with His own blood to sit on the throne, Satan had access (Job 1:6 – 10) to the throne of God but not anymore because Jesus Christ came and he was cast down. This happened when Jesus went into heaven with His own blood and sprinkled it on the throne of God – the Mercy Seat. And since that day, Satan can’t go with any accusation there because that blood of the Lamb is the only voice that is permitted to be heard in the courts of God in heaven.

νικάω  nikaō  conquer  –  carry off the victory, come off victorious, victorious over, to win the case, to subdue, conquer, prevail, get the victory

Satan’s accusations cannot be heard, and are not permitted to be audible in heaven before God’s throne anymore; only the blood of Jesus Christ speaks of things pertaining to man and God in the courts of heaven.  The throne of God is now the Mercy Seat.  The devil can’t bring any accusations there anymore, thank you Lord Jesus!

The accuser was cast down into the earth, and now he accuses the brethren in the earth.  And when he comes to the brethren to accuse them what’s his fate – conquered!  This means that condemnation is primarily the voice of your conscience, and the source of accusation is the voice of the accuser in the earth.  It is not the voice of God that condemns or accuses.  And what does the Bible say about dealing with the condemnation from your conscience and these accusations from the accuser? It says both are neutralized by the blood of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:14 says “…how much more shall the blood of Christ cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God”.  The blood of Christ conquers the condemnation in your conscience and conquers the accusation from the accuser.
‘Blood of the Lamb consciousness’ paralyses Satan’s accusations and sin consciousness. This is also what makes the communion a powerful supernatural sacrament, filled with the power of God. The communion builds in you a blood of Jesus Christ consciousness.  It is one of the weapons of our warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4 -5); and it accomplishes so many things in the spirit realm at the same time as you participate in it.  And one of those things is that it conquers the accusations of Satan and casts down the imaginations of condemnation.  Take the communion regularly, daily if you can, as often as possible, start today. Especially when you’re facing these kinds of pressures.
Always remember that the voice of condemnation is not coming from heaven – it’s coming from the accuser who operates in the earth; and you as a child of God overcame him already.

Pray The Word
Father, I thank You that the accuser has been cast down and has no access to Your throne to bring accusations because of the blood of Jesus Christ. I refuse to entertain the voice of the accuser from today.  Thank You Heavenly Father, for the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ; may it purge my conscience from dead works and self condemnation. Thank You Father, that only the testimony of the blood of Jesus Christ speaks me concerning me in heaven and in the earth. I live by the testimony of the blood of the Lamb and what it has accomplished for me, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
Only the blood of Jesus speaks concerning me in heaven and in the earth. Every sentence of accusation against me in the spirit or in the earth is cancelled today by the blood of the Lamb of God that is seated upon the Throne, in the name of Jesus Christ! I live free from condemnation, I live free from accusation because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Your New Creation Identity

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The new creation in Christ is real, it’s a reality. Everyone that has received Christ knows on the inside that they are a new person.  They know deep down inside that they are different. There are not enough words to explain it but those that have it know it.  That is what the Lord Jesus Christ meant when He tried to explain this to Nicodimus  and said “except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3) The Greek word see is is “eidoo” which means to know by a prolonged observation until you become fully aware. By prolonged observation you are aware that your life has changed, you know that something is different from the inside of you; you don’t need anyone to tell you this.

καινός  kainos  new  –  new kind, fresh made, new existence

What is that? You are a new creation.  If you are in Christ, you are a new creature! This isn’t just a turning over a new leaf; it’s a complete spiritual recreation of your inner most being. The old you—dominated by sin, bound by its power, and riddled with sin consciousness—has passed away. I only caught the phrase “passed away” pertaining to this verse a lot later. So, when the scripture says “passed away”, take it like when they say “the man/woman has “passed away” – meaning, they are dead! You get it? And then it goes on to say that “Behold, all things have become new!” In other words, the previous one is dead and now there’s a new one.  This is your radical, new creation identity.  You are literally a new type of being, a new species that never existed before.

κτίσις  ktisis  creature  –  creation, original formation, order, ordinance

Knowledge of this new identity is fundamental to living a victorious Christian life. You are no longer the person who was under the dominion of sin. That person was crucified and died with Christ. The person living now is a new being, infused with the new life of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and made righteous. When you truly grasp this, you stop identifying with your past failures and previously ungovernable behaviours.

This doesn’t mean you won’t face temptations, but it means your new nature now has the power to not succumb to them.  Man is a spirit being, which has a soul and lives in a body; and now the Word says its your spirit that is “…recreated in righteousness and true holiness”(Ephesians 4:18) But your soul which is your mind, will and emotions – those do not automatically change, even though your spirit is perfectly new. Thats the new creation, that spirit that lives inside your body.  So you may feel, or look or think the same after you receive Jesus Christ but thats because the new creation miracle is not in your mind, and your feelings or your body. You now have Christ’s perfect nature in your spirit man. And so Ephesians 4:23  says “…be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”   Which means renew and align your thinking and feelings; that is your soul – mind, will and emotions to the new creation man that is in your spirit. And it says this new creation is created “...after God” which means your spirit is now created after the righteousness likeness of God, my goodness!! Walk in the consciousness of your newness today.  You are who the Word of God says that you are. Reject the lies that try to pull you back into old patterns of thinking or behavior. You are a new creation, perfectly positioned to live a life that glorifies God, free from the power of sin and sin consciousness!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that I am in Christ, a new creature! Old things have passed away, and all things have become new in me.  I thank You for this new life that I now live as the new creation You’ve made me, empowered by Your Spirit and Your righteousness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Speak The Word
I am a new creation in Christ! Old things are passed away; the old is dead and buried and all things are become new! I live in my new identity, a new creation in Christ Jesus living in glory and victory everyday!

SIN, GRACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Study The Word

Romans 5:21 AMP
so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A subject that had many Christians confused including ministers was the issue of the place of grace in regards to sin.  And this came as a result of the rise of the grace message a couple of years ago.  And that message and teaching of grace is so beautiful but, it ran into some problems eventually and I know where the issue started. Now the issues started when the teaching of grace got misapplied being misunderstood from the verse of scripture that is the opening verse of this article, which if not studied carefully could be misleading to suggest that grace is God’s solution for sin. We will look at that scripture again carefully and you will also see where a lot of Christians encountered a problem in understanding, especially when you study it contextually.

So, you need to understand that grace was never God’s solution for the supplantation of sin and the sin nature. In other words grace was never God’s antidote for sin.  The bible never suggests that at all.  One may be wanting to ask, “Shingi, scripturally what is grace?” Let’s get into that briefly before we continue. Now, Grace simply put means God at work for a man or on behalf of man, and God at work through a man without his merit. The Amplified Bible calls it unmerited favour. And the problem people ran into with this was when through misunderstanding it was as if some teachings started to suggest that grace – unmerited favour was an antonym for sin. Although etymologically English doesn’t have an exact antonym for sin, but scripturally by revelation the Apostle Paul reveals to us that the antonym for sin is righteousness.

When you study, and you rightly divide the word of truth regarding the relationship between sin, grace and righteousness you’ll discover that the righteousness of God has always been God’s plan and solution for sin, not grace.  It is righteousness that is God’s solution for the supplantation of the sin nature in man. But now let us look at a scripture to help clarify further this issue of sin grace and righteousness:

Romans 5:19 KJV
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

I love how the KJV puts it, so simple. Now, to make it even simpler, the word translated sinners is an ancient Greek word ”Harmatolos” and harmatolos literally means ”sinful”.  So in order to further clarify the verse it’d read – For as by one man’s disobedience many were made SINFUL, so by the obedience of one shall many be made RIGHTEOUS.

In other words, one man’s disobedience produced sinfulness and the obedience of the Man Jesus Christ produced righteousness.  So it’s clear that God’s antidote for sin is righteousness. Now in this equation, where does grace fit in? Let’s find out from the continuation of the context:

Romans 5:20 AMP
But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more,

Now this is where many teachers who majored on the grace message got into some problems because it is from this verse that they somewhat concluded that grace was God’s solution for the sin problem.  But when you study contextually you see that grace was just the means to the end and not the end but righteousness as revealed by verse 19 was actually the end of the sin problem. So what is grace in this equation?  Simple, the law came to expose and increase sin and grace came to reveal and deliver the gift of righteousness. Therefore by equation, it is the grace versus the law which leaves you with righteousness versus sin.  Grace came to cancel or abolish the law, in order for righteousness to supplant sin.

Lets continue to read:

Romans 5:21 AMP
so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This is the verse that threw most scholars off and later caused problems possibly because it was studied outside of its context. Ok, so what does this verse mean when we put the context of verse 19 to 21 together? Let’s put it all together so that you can have the Shingi contextual translation:

”Because the disobedience of one man Adam produced sinfulness; the obedience of Jesus Christ produced righteousness, bearing in mind that the law of Moses came and exposed sinfulness that resulted in death, we thank God that the grace of Jesus Christ abolished the law of Moses and delivered for us righteousness that has given us eternal life.”

This is the Shingi translation lol.

As amazing as grace is, grace could not supplant the sin nature that was in man.  God sent forth His righteousness to supplant the sin nature that had entered into man from the fall of Adam.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for your precious gift of righteousness. Thank You for making me Your righteousness in Christ Jesus. I live in the consciousness and reality of this righteousness everyday in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word

I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I express and manifest God’s rightness in every area of my life, in everything that I do, and everywhere I go. The power of righteousness to enforce correctness is at work in and through me, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Urgent Call to Preach

Study The Word

Romans 10:14 KJV
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Child of God, have you ever considered the profound urgency embedded in these verses? How are people going to call upon the name of the Lord and be saved if they haven’t believed? And how can they believe if they haven’t heard? The answer is startlingly simple, yet deeply challenging: They cannot hear without a preacher! This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a divine mandate. Jesus sent us, you and me, to preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

κηρύσσω  kērussō  –  to publish, proclaim openly, public proclamation, to herald (as a public crier) divine truth, preach (-er), proclaim

The gospel of Christ is the power of God – have you ever wondered why or how? Many Christians are hungry, searching for the power of God. They spend time and effort trying to find the power of God in every other place, and yet the Word says that the power of God is the gospel of Christ that they already know and have. The message of the gospel is all the power of God you need, but the wisdom to access and interact with God’s power is realised when you first understand what the gospel is for yourself, and then afterward activate it through the simplicity of preaching. (Romans 1:16) The gospel is the most important piece of information of all time. All of man’s problems in life can only be solved by the gospel of Jesus Christ. They all come down to one solution. And you have it; think about it.

And your role as a child of God is not merely to know and understand the Gospel, but to know and understand it to declare it. Share it, publish it. See, don’t worry about generating the power, the message in and of itslef has the power of God in it already, your responsibility is to share it. There is nothing more important in life than the gospel. The spiritual chain of salvation hinges on the act of preaching. There are millions out there waiting to hear, waiting to believe, waiting to call upon the Lord. The stories of the realities about salvation and your experiences, or how God did this or that for you – beautiful as those may be, make sure that they contain in them the specific message of the gospel. The world needs to hear the specific, powerful message of the Gospel; because the gospel of Christ, it is a specific message.  I have taught over the years extensively about what the gospel of Christ is, and you can take advantage of those teachings here on our platform so that you can be equipped with the correct knowledge of what the gospel which is the power of God is. The first 30 minutes in the resource below is one of the many where I teach and explain what is the gospel. Take some time to go through so that you know and understand it in order for you to be able to effectively preach it.  It’s a divine imperative, a holy calling on your life. Your feet, my brother, my sister are beautiful for this very purpose!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending me around the world with the news  Your saving power. I acknowledge that without me, souls cannot hear, believe, or call upon Your name. Thank You for empowering me today, Father, to boldly declare the true content of the Gospel, knowing that the power of God unto salvation is in the message itself. Thank you for making my feet be beautiful as I go forth.

Speak The Word
I am a sent one, commissioned by Jesus Christ, called with a holy calling to preach the Gospel to every creature. I will not be silent, for souls are waiting to hear, believe, and be saved. The power of God rests upon my life because I’m a custodian of the gospel of Christ. The power of God is released as I open my mouth and use every resource and platform at my disposal to declare it!

Divine Hierarchy Established

Divine Hierarchy Established

Ephesians 4:11-12
And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

There is a divine hierarchy that was established by the Lord Jesus Christ, whether people know it or not, believe it or not, understand it or not!  People’s ignorance of spiritual truths does not negate their reality and efficacy and whatever consequence that comes as a result of their ignorance of them.  Wow, today is a Sunday, so I’ve prepared a decent chunk of teaching for you, but it is eternally valuable so it will be a invaluable investment for you.

Ok, I will start with this statement – always put yourself in a position to be knowledgeable about spiritual principles that govern existence. If you take into consideration how devastating being ignorant of physical laws and principles can be, now imagine the devastation of being ignorant of spiritual laws; knowing that the physical world is controlled and ruled by the spiritual.  And one of those laws is that there is a divine hierarchy that was established by the Lord Jesus Christ. There are those that God has chosen and set above others in the body of Christ, not because they are better, not because they have perfect characters, but mainly because of God’s sovereign choice, purpose and plan; and also because those whom He has chosen are now trained, ready, prepared, and positioned to execute. But the truth is that there is an established hierarchy.

αὐτός  autos  He  –  himself

Jesus Christ is the one who appoints and anoints the five-fold ministers to physically represent Him in the earth for the benefit of the body of Christ. He alone chooses and appoints them, and not any man or ‘man of God’.  So how you treat them matters, it will either bless you or curse you and unfortunately there is no other outcome and even more telling is that your ignorance of this truth does not exempt you from the consequence.  It is safer for you to leave them alone; if you don’t like or believe in what they are doing or how they are handling things it is safer for you to leave them and move away to somewhere else, because to go against these members of the five-fold ministry is not wise. Jesus takes it as though you are going against him. (Acts 9:1; 4 – 5)  Always use wisdom when relating to them if you want to be successful in life and in the things of God.
Hebrews 5:4 says “no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron”; it doesn’t matter who ordains you or how many titles you give yourself (Jeremiah 1:5).  This hierarchy and callings of God go beyond an ordination or the title people or a person can give themselves (Psalm 139:16).  It’s a spiritual deposit of an office gift from Jesus Christ Himself that He put’s into the human spirit, being chosen of Him as early as your being in your mother’s womb, and it being made effectual in and through you as soon as you get being born again (Galatians 1:15).

δίδωμι  didōmi  gave  –  to give, to give something to someone, give a gift, to bestow a gift

That is the gift that you need to focus on, that one that God put inside you to do the work, and the results will always show.  Always keep the work at the forefront of your daily assignment and not ordinations and appointments as great as they are, those are one of the “signs following” of Mark 16:20; trust me, the Lord is faithful and will always confirm His gifting and calling into the five-fold ministry “..with signs following”.  You will not have to convince people that you are a Pastor, the gift will show; you won’t have to tell people that God ordained you to be an apostle, an evangelist, a teacher, a prophet because the calling, the gift will announce itself and the ordination will always follow.  In the interim, focus on the work, don’t worry too much about the confirmations, those God will make happen at the right time but for now, focus on the work of the office that He called you to.  That is what will count when you finally meet Him, your work and not your titles.

You see why I say it is beyond an ordination or the title a person gets to call themselves?  So, this is not a small responsibility – you are dealing with the Lord Jesus Christ’s appointments here, it is very serious!  So never rush or be in haste for it, pursue the work, pursue the service in the gospel first.  Because Jesus Christ Himself said in Matthew 5:16  “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”  He didn’t say so that men can see your title, He said so that men can see your good works – “I chase after good works, so that men glorify my Father which is in heaven.”

These may be very controversial statements to many Christians but it is the truth of God’s Word, that is what matters and that nobody can deny; and so I teach it.  For myself there is one personality that I fear and I tremble at with every fibre of my being, and that is Jesus Christ.  I have no respect or fear of the devil or demons, I am only scared of Jesus.   And these five-fold ministry gifts, in their individual capacity and gifting, are appointed to physically represent Him, Jesus, in the body of Christ while He Himself is in heaven.  And if you get this understanding you will position your heart rightly towards them always.

This divine hierarchy is not man’s invention but Christ’s own establishment for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ. When you understand this, you realize that recognizing and submitting to this spiritual authority is not foolish but – it’s wisdom! It’s God’s design for your spiritual growth and ministerial effectiveness.  I tell people, there are things that I do not joke or mess around with in this life, and they are, God Almighty – Jesus Christ, the things (Word) of God and men of God. That’s because I have spiritual understanding and insight concerning these; and I will never join the spiritually uneducated in their folly of a stance against these things, no matter the situation.

Every and any person who is called into the five-fold ministry I have and will always honour in secret and in private, and this is one of the biggest secrets to my longevity in my successful service in the gospel of Christ (I also have another very important secret about your biological parents that is even more important that I will teach on very soon).
And I have upheld this for years and I have seen many fail at it and just fade.  These are some uncommon secrets that have kept me relevant in the things of God for a long time.  And I encourage you to learn, adjust your heart posture and uphold the same, and see your walk with God and your service in the house of God perpetually flourish.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I recognize that You have established divine hierarchy in Your body through the five-fold ministry gifts. Thank You for appointing apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to represent Jesus Christ in the earth. Help me to honour and submit to this spiritual authority You have placed over me, knowing this is Your design for my perfection and growth in ministry.

Speak The Word
I acknowledge God’s divine hierarchy in the body of Christ! I honour the five-fold ministry gifts that Jesus Christ has appointed to represent Him in the earth. I submit to the spiritual authority God has placed over me, knowing this is His perfect plan for my spiritual growth and ministerial effectiveness!

Dominion Over Sickness

Study The Word
Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

In Christ Jesus we have been given an incredible mandate and authority in the name of Jesus Christ to confront and conquer sickness and disease.  The life of a child of God is not just about enduring ailments, going through life half medicated, or putting your faith in the words and discoveries of medical science, not being sure what would happen if you get a diagnosis of one kind or the other, no.  Anyone who claims to genuinely believes in Jesus wouldn’t accept this at all; if you take into consideration the words of Jesus Christ in our opening verse. This is Jesus speaking about how you’d be able to identify those who believe in Him. Jesus didn’t say “these signs shall follow them that believe; you shall see them going to church; as important as church attendance is in the life of a believer; Jesus didn’t say “these signs shall follow them that believe; they shall be preaching”,  it being something you’d find with a lot of believers today. Nor did he say a lot of other things that Christians do as a part of their faith.

σημεῖον  sēmeion  sign  –  a sign, mark, token

But what He did say as seen in the opening scripture is, number one credential to identify a genuine believer is  – “In my name shall they cast out devils” , number two credential is – “they shall speak with new tongues”, number three credential is – “They shall take up serpents”, number four – “if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them”, number five – “they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover”.  Question, are any of these a part of your life as a believer? You can answer that for yourself in your quiet time; today we are focusing on the first, fourth and fifth credential, and we will look into the other in the future.

Being a genuine believer in Jesus Christ is about exercising the dominion we have in Christ Jesus. This  as listed by Jesus which is the explicit power to cast out devils and ingest anything deadly thing and it not having the power to hurt you, lay hands on the sick, and watch them to recover.  This is the power life of a child of God, this is your calling.
The exercising of our God given dominion in Christ should be an everyday occurrence in your life; child of God, rise up and cast out devils!!!
Don’t just sit and watch things just drift into darkness, don’t just sit and allow the doctors report affect and control the circumstances of your existence; cast out devils!!  In fact, how did it even get to the point where the doctor was giving you diagnosis? If you had taken up your calling and taken it serious from early when you began your journey in Christ, dealing and addressing symptoms of sickness like how Jesus showed us and “left us an example that we should follow in His steps”, things would’ve never gotten to the doctors report level.
And you have all that Holy Spirit in you; ooh if only you understood what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  How that through the power of the Holy Spirit you can exercise dominion of sickness, disease and infirmity.  That’s the life of a true believer.

When you declare, “I command every devil of sickness, disease, and infirmity to come out of my body right now and be cast back to the pit of hell to never return in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!” being full of the Holy Spirit no devil of sickness, disease or infirmity can stand a chance.  Listen, I live this life; I am not teaching you to do something that I don’t practice.  This is how I live in dominion always! When symptoms and demons of sickness attack my body, I don’t wait wait or waste time, I DESTROY!! Haha!  I’m not interested in knowing “what will the doctor say?”  Noooo, I KNOW WHAT JESUS SAID!

παρακολουθέω  parakoloutheō  follow –  to follow after, always at his side, to follow close, accompany, be always present, to follow closely after

And I know who I am, glory to God!  Listen, I love doctors, and the entire practice of medical science and true medicine, so I’m in no way suggesting that there are not important and shouldn’t be consider.  In fact, the first time I went out for evangelism, I started ministry preaching in hospitals.  The first time I’d ever preach to an audience was in an hospital ward; this was in 2002. I will tell you the story one day.  So I worked with doctors and nurses around the city, over 20 years ago. And then I saw my hospital ministry would grow to the point where they even had my number, the nurses and doctors of some hospitals and they’d call me when they knew that medical science had reached the end of its rope. Because they also had seen verifiable miracles of healing.  My hospital ministry was vibrant, I saw many miracles of healings and the power of God, the Word of God coming alive.  And I’ve been this way ever since.  So I know what I’m telling you.  You need to practice unleashing the authority given to you as a member of Jesus’ body, being one that is seated with Him in heavenly places, far above all principality and power (Ephesians 2:6).

Start with that headache, don’t be quick to rush for the headache medicine, cast that headache out!!   Lay hands on that place where your feeling the discomfort, or there’s an uncomfortable growth, or sharp pain.  Don’t wait and say let’s see what the doctors scan is going to do.  Or think what is going to happen? Jesus already told you what is going to happen!  Lay hands there and cast the pain, or the tumor, or that devil OUT!!
See, most of the time, sickness is not merely a physical malfunction; it often has a spiritual root, empowered by demonic forces.  Similarly, even if no demonic force is behind it, Jesus said you can speak to anything, he said “if you shall say unto this mountain, be removed” (Mark 11:23).  Is it a pain? Trust what Jesus said and begin to put it to work from today, don’t wait for the special-special man of God.
Jesus said casting out demons of for all that believe Him. Not the special-special ones.

“I command every spirit of infirmity and spirit of sickness to go from my body right now and be cast into the pit of hell to never return in the name of Jesus Christ!”

I do this. I’ve been doing this for decades. I don’t get sick! I’m not learning this, I’ve mastered it.  But you need to start asap, if you haven’t already.  But if you have continue with it, don’t stop.
This is how you deal with the spiritual entities behind physical manifestations of the ailments that attack your body. You have to have a determined mentality for direct confrontation, rooted in your position and authority in Christ. You are not begging the devil; you are issuing a divine command, authoritatively!
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, make it off-limits to any symptoms of sickness, big or small. Bombard them with declarations of your authority in dealing with them, never wait.  This consciousness and response thereof empowers you to be an active participant in your own healing, where you live in dominion always, driving out what does not belong.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the authority given to me in the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that I have power over every devil of sickness, disease, and infirmity. I boldly exercise this dominion today.

Speak The Word
I command every devil of sickness, disease, and infirmity to come out of my body right now and be cast back to the pit of hell to never return in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! I command every spirit of infirmity and spirit of sickness to go from my body right now and be cast into the pit of hell to never return in the name of Jesus Christ! My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; therefore, no devil of sickness can oppress my body in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Life and Aphtharsia (Incorruption) Brought to Light

Study The Word

2 Timothy 1:10 KJV
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Beyond abolishing death, the appearing of Jesus Christ brought something else magnificent to light: life and incorruption! The King James Version translates ‘aphtharsia’ as ‘immortality,’ but the more accurate translation is ‘incorruption’. What happens when you heard the Gospel, received it, believed it and responded to it you are instantly brought into the God life – a new kind of life, the divine life!  You were brought into the reality realm of incorruption!

ἀφθαρσία  aphtharsia  incorruption (immortality) – incorruptibility, unending existence

 What is incorruption? It’s not yet immortality, where this mortal body cannot die. No, your body is still mortal! But incorruption is that state when the life of God, the eternal life, mingles with your mortal body, and overpowering mortality causing it to transform to become incorruptible. That is the state that every child of God is currently living in – incorruption. You have not obtained immortality yet.  Remember how the Word of God says we are born again, “not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23). You have incorruption now, my brother! You have incorruption now my sister! Hallelujah! What does this mean? It means that this body, though mortal, is now receiving life from God divine, making it resistant to sickness, disease, decay and every corrupting effect of sin! Glory to God! Live everyday in the consciousness of this and enjoy the benefits of aphtharsia – incorruption.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You that through the Gospel and the appearing of Jesus Christ, You have brought life and incorruption to light. I rejoice that Your divine life now mingles with my mortal body, making me incorruptible by Your living Word.

Speak The Word
I declare that I have received life and incorruption through the Gospel! The life of God flows in my mortal body, empowering it with divine resistance to decay and corruption. I am born of incorruptible seed!

The Intimate Friendship of the Holy Spirit

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:14 MSG
The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you. 

This powerful prayer concludes with a profound blessing: “the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit”. The word “fellowship” or “communion” in the Greek is koinonia, and it speaks volumes about the depth of this relationship.

κοινωνία   koinōnia  friendship –  oneness, intercourse, intimacy, reciprocation, communion, partnership, distribution, relationship – friendship

Koinonia is talking about Oneness. The Holy Spirit is now one with my spirit; we have a Oneness. Everything that I do comes from my Oneness with the Holy Spirit. Imagine, in everything you embark on, you are conscious that you are one with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is one with me.  This

koinonia also signifies partnership. The Holy Spirit is partnering with me in this work. This is a reciprocated partnership. As I partner with Him, the Holy Spirit reciprocates and partners with me as He backs me. I have the backing of the Holy Spirit! Be conscious of this, hey!

And then, another beautiful synonym for koinonia is Friendship. Is the Holy Spirit your friend? He’s a friend that sticks closer than a brother! He’s always been there as your friend, but maybe you have never recognized Him as your friend. It is God’s will for your life that you have that friendship with the Holy Spirit, just like the Lord Jesus Christ had that friendship with the Holy Spirit.

From today, you begin to recognize the Holy Spirit as your friend, your Eternal friend, the Spirit of God. He is your best friend. He is not only your God, your helper, your comforter, your healer, but He is your friend. He is the friend that never leaves. He is the friend that encourages, supports, strengthens, and guides you into all reality and truth. May your relationship with the Holy Spirit be elevated from today , and may you hear His voice clearly as your best friend.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for the oneness and intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit that You have given me. I thank You that the Holy Spirit is my friend, my partner, and my constant companion. I choose to walk in conscious awareness of His presence and guidance daily.

Speak The Word
The oneness, intimate relationship, and friendship of the Holy Spirit is with me. The Holy Spirit is my friend, and I hear His voice clearly, guiding me in all things. I am backed and sponsored by the Holy Spirit!

The Divine Influence of Grace

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

How are we to accomplish this magnificent standard of excellence that God desires for us? The answer lies in the beautiful conclusion of Paul’s prayer: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ”. This grace, is not merely unmerited favor; our word study reveals a deeper truth.

χάρις  charis  grace – divine influence, favour, benefit, gratuity, divine enablement

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is the divine influence, a divine enablement. It’s a divine influence and enablement upon your life that enables you to do things excellently, God at working in and through you. Imagine that! Everything you’re involved with, you will see the characteristics of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ upon your life. This divine influence and enablement is upon all the things that I do. So when it comes out, it is admirable, it is beautiful, it is magnificent, it is excellent, yeah!

When you embark on any project, in your business, or on your job, you can declare: “As I embark on this project, the grace, the Divine influence, the Divine ability of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work within me, it is upon my life, hey, therefore this project is going to be excellent, I’m going to perform excellently in the name of Jesus Christ! and there’s going t be supernatural results!” How can you lose? The life of a Christian is a life of winners, it’s a life of triumph, hallelujah!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in your business, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in your job, in your career, in your friendships, in your relationships, in your marriage, in every area of your life. It is abundant there. This divine ability makes it so that everything with your name on it, every project, every business deal, every contract, can only be excellent, magnificent, supernatural and beautiful. What an incredible truth!  Be conscious of this reality in your life today, and walk in the light of it.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that is at work in my life. I thank You for Your divine influence and ability that is upon my life and everything I lay my hands upon to do. By Your grace, I perform excellently in every area, bringing glory to Your name.

Speak The Word
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in my life. The divine influence of the Lord Jesus Christ is upon everything I lay my hands upon to do. Therefore, I only produce things that are excellent, admirable, and magnificent.

The Extravagant Love of God

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:14 TPT
Now, may the grace and joyous favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, the unambiguous love of God, and the precious communion that we share in the Holy Spirit be yours continually. Amen!

Beyond the enabling power of grace, we are enveloped by the extravagant love of God. This isn’t a fleeting emotion, but a profound, active reality that transforms our consciousness. Our study of the word “love” here, agape, unveils its multifaceted nature.

ἀγάπη  agapē   love- affectionate & humble, patient & kind, giving & forgiving, eternal – unchanging & unending, unconditional & reliable active benevolent love of God; Benevolence of God.

The love of God is an action; it is a verb. It is not a feeling. It’s affectionate and humble, patient and kind, giving and forgiving. This is the love of God! My consciousness must be that God gives to me and He forgives me. He is patient and kind with me. He is affectionate towards me. These are the thoughts that come to my mind when I think of what God thinks about me.

God’s love for us is eternal. This means it is unchanging, unending, and also unconditional. This is your God! This magnificent love permeates and inundates every area of your life. You are enveloped and inundated with the manifestation of the love of God upon your life.

When people look at your life, the testimony will be, “Look at him, look at her, the one that God loves!” They will say, “This one is loved by God.” They will see the love of God upon your life. This is the will of God for you, the perfect will of God for your life. They will recognize that only those things happen to only those whom God loves. They’ll be like, “Oh wow, God loves this person, God loves this brother, God loves this sister, this can only happen if God loves you!” Hallelujah!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unconditional and unambiguous love that is at work in my life. Thank You that Your love is affectionate, humble, patient, kind, giving, and forgiving, and that it is eternal, unchanging, and unending. I embrace Your love that permeates every aspect of my life.

Speak The Word
I am loved by God!  The unconditional and unambiguous love of God is upon my life. I am loved by God! His love is evident and abundant in every area of my life, and people see His love upon me

The Legal & Vital Ministry That Christ Fulfills

Study The Word
Romans 4:25 KJV
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

The ministry of Jesus Christ, so profound and multifaceted, can be beautifully understood through two distinct lenses: His Legal Ministry and His Vital Ministry. This is the very foundation of our identity, inheritance, and ability in Christ Jesus!

His Legal Ministry began the moment He was led into the wilderness, spanning His entire earthly walk, culminating in His crucifixion, burial, and descent into hell. This was Jesus, the Son of Man, bearing our sin, our sickness, our poverty – becoming sin for us, in our place. He was delivered up for our trespasses, carrying the full weight of Adam’s sin, the sins of Israel, and indeed, the sin of the whole world. This was the magnificent, substitutionary work that happened for us, on the cross and in the grave. It was a work of divine legality, settling the score once and for all, and forever!

His Vital Ministry, on the other hand, commenced with His glorious resurrection from the tomb. Picture this: Jesus, ascending with His own blood, sprinkling it on the throne of mercy, and then taking His rightful seat on the Father’s throne in heaven. This is His present, living ministry in us and for us today! It’s the continuous flow of love and grace, now being vitally administered by the Holy Spirit in and through us. This is where we live, breathe, and operate now – not by the way of a dead religion and it’s dead practices, but by the vitality of the Spirit of life in Christ that is now operating in us with a real vital, tangible power. So now people can see the power of God in your life in real time. See, that is what made Jesus Christ different from those religious leaders of His day, to the point were they hated Him for it, and even crucified Him for it. He was not in the performance of religion but in a real vital relationship wit His Heavenly Father, and it was tangible and visible.  And that is what Jesus Christ brought us into.  Don’t be satisfied with just having religion, understand the vitality of the life of Christ in us that reveals a vibrant relationship with a real God that is provable.

This understanding of Jesus’ ministry allows us to properly appropriate everything Jesus made available for us through His death, burial, and resurrection in our lives in real time, and not in the hope of the future. It’s the difference between knowing what He did and experiencing what He is doing in you right now!  This is what differentiates between a child of God who has a living relationship with God Almighty, and someone who just practices a Christian religion.  Their lives are not the same, even though, they both believe in Jesus.
So, understand this distinction today so that you can have the correct expectation of faith for today, in order for you to begin to vitally experience in reality all that Jesus did for you.  Refuse to be in another dead religion, the world is filled with too many of those already.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for all the glorious things that our Lord Jesus accomplished with His death, burial and resurrection on my behalf; where He bore my sin, sickness, poverty and carried my shame. Heavenly Father, I thank You that I can experience the vitality of all that the Lord Jesus did in my life today; as He lives forever to minister Your love, grace in and through me everyday through the Holy Spirit in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
The Lord Jesus was delivered for my trespasses, I am free! And because He was raised, I am justified! I boldly appropriate the love and grace of all that He accomplished to flow in and through every area of my life. I walk in the reality of His finished work and His present work in me, for His name’s sake!

Joyful Expectation

Study The Word
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The journey of the church of Jesus Christ began with a very powerful, supernatural event: the simultaneous baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit of the 120 as recorded in Acts 2. What an incredible start! And now, as this church age draws to its close, we are anticipating another miracle of even grander proportions – the catching away, or the rapture of the church. The anticipation that the church has is a living, breathing hope that shapes the daily lives of those that have the Spirit of God in them.

ἀπεκδέχομαι  Apekdechomai  look for  –  waiting with great anticipation, patiently to wait

There’s a powerful Greek term that captures the very essence of how we, as Spirit-filled members of the church of Jesus Christ have, as we anticipate the approaching of this glorious expectation: “Apekdechomai”.
Apekdechomai speaks of an attitude of intense yearning, a deep and joyful eagerness, an expectation that is bubbling over with gladness as we wait for something monumental to happen. This is the very attitude the Bible says every Spirit-filled child of God possess as we see the day of His coming drawing closer and closer!
This divine anticipation certainly doesn’t communicate fear or anxiety, does it? No, not at all! Why? Because this celebratory anticipation that fills our hearts is actually the reciprocal attitude with which Jesus Christ Himself, and the entire Heavenly Host, are joyfully waiting for the great reunion! Think about it: they are eagerly anticipating being finally reunited with us, those who have believed in Jesus until His return. What a thought! If you are born again and filled with the Spirit, then truly, happy are you! You are on the winning side, filled with a hope that transcends earthly worries of what the future holds for us, whether we be alive or asleep in Christ.
Rejoice, because it is written, “Eye has not seen nor ear heard nor has it entered into the hearts of men the things that God has prepared for them that love Him.”(1 Corinthians 2:9 – 10)
But here’s another glorious truth: “God has revealed these things to us by His Spirit.” So, our expectation of His coming is not rooted in ignorance or fear, but in a revealed, joyful hope of His coming that is revealed to us in the written Word.
Regarding this hope the Apostle John says, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when Jesus shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
So, from now until that day, let these truths reside within you: “NOW are we the sons of God.”   Now!
Not one day, some day or another day but, right now, today glory God!  And that “we know that, when Jesus shall appear, we shall be like Him;” and “unto us that look for him shall he appear the second time”, unto the salvation of our physical body; the transfiguration of our mortal bodies to become just like Jesus’s glorified body.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for the blessed hope of the rapture, the catching away of Your church.  Father, thank You for the blessed hope in me of an intense yearning with a joyful eagerness and expectation for our Lord Jesus’s return that cries out even so come Lord Jesus, come.  Thank You Father, that this anticipation is the same one that even Jesus has for us which expels all fear and anxiety; as You, and the entire Heavenly Host are also joyfully awaiting Our glorious reunion. I rejoice in the knowledge of the things You have prepared for me, revealed by Your Word and Your Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I am a child of God, joyfully expecting the Lord’s coming! My anticipation is reciprocal to the joy of heaven therefore there can be no fear regarding my meeting the Lord Jesus again at His coming. Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the glorious things God has prepared for me as they have been revealed to me as a son of God.  I am a son of God NOW, I am a child of God now, and when He shall appear, I shall be like Him, for I shall see Him as He is!

Made Alive In Christ

Study The Word

1 Corinthians 15:22 KJV
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Another powerful truth to grasp about our identity and inheritance in Christ Jesus is the profound reality of being “made alive” in Him. The Apostle Paul’s understanding of the gospel reveals that if you are in Christ Jesus, there are indeed good things within you. We see this vividly in Ephesians chapter 2, beginning from verse 4, which declares, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ”. And by grace, you are saved.  The term “quickened together” here is a beautiful revelation meaning “made alive together”, which we said before is a “joint-reanimation” with Christ.  So the moment you receive Jesus Christ you are brought back to life from spiritual death to be alive unto God in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Paul now reveals to us that just as in Adam we all died – and were separated from God, even so now IN Christ are all made alive – and are reconciled back to God, how amazing!  If you are IN Christ today, you have been brought back to life from spiritual death. Glory to God!

ζωοποιέω  zōopoieō  made alive  –  produce life, cause to live, make alive, give life, invigorate, restore to life, endue with new and greater powers of life, to re-vitalize, quicken

To get a deeper understanding of this miracle here we’ll look deeper into the phrase “made alive” translated from the Greek word zōopoieō. Zoopoieo is a compound of zoe and poieo.  Now, Jesus Himself revealed to us that zoe is the very life of God, “As the Father has life (zoe) in Himself, so has He given to the Son to have (zoe) life in Himself” (John 5:26).  Jesus was fun to be around when He walked the streets of Jerusalem, the things He said!  Ok, moving along we have poieo, which means “creating, making or producing with words”.   So when you put these two words together, what you now have is “the life of God, eternal life clothed in vocabulary!”  That’s zoopoieo. Eish!

It is when the Word of God, which contains the eternal life of God revives and reanimates with power what it comes into contact with.  That’s what he means when he says made alive. When a man who is spiritually dead – separated from God hears the word of God in the form of the gospel of Jesus Christ; the life of God in the message of the gospel contacts the mans dead spirit, and the power of eternal life zoopoieo – brings him back to life – enduing him with a new life; and the person is born again.

So, in Christ Jesus, we have been made alive. I’m talking about when the Word of God, which contains eternal life reproduces a new spirit with a new life in us; a spirit that is alive unto God. This is the reality of being a child of God. Its got nothing to do with religion.  I am a son of God, I’m not a religious person. Spiritual ignoramus can’t understand this stuff.  “The natural man does not understand the things of the spirit of God because they are pneumatikos anakrino – spiritually discerned!” The bible says “they are foolishness unto him and neither can he know them“(1 Corinthians 2:14); so they say “Shingi he is just a religious person”, fools! The bible calls them fools!

Think about this, and if you’re a child of God never forget it. Meditate on it through the day every other day, day and night.  The Word of God in the gospel of Christ and when you received it, “according to the working of the power of God” produced eternal life in your human spirit, and you were reanimated – made alive unto God. So now, just like Jesus you can say “as the Father has life in Himself so has He given to me His son to have life within myself!” This is one of the biggest miracles of Christianity and it has nothing to do with religion at all.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You that by Your great love and rich mercy with which you have loved me, that even when I was dead in sins, You made me alive together with Christ. Thank You for the reanimation of my spirit by the power of Your eternal zoe life through the gospel. I acknowledge this good thing that is in me in Christ Jesus today and always, in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am alive unto God in Christ Jesus! The life of God is actively at work within me, I’m alive unto God. I have been made alive by the power of eternal life.  I have the life of God in me; in my spirit, in my soul and in my body! 

Rivers Of Life Like Water

Study The Word
John 7:38-39
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

This is so powerful! Jesus Himself, in John chapter 7, verse 38, said something absolutely profound: “He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water!” And then, verse 39 explains it for us – “But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive.” This was about the Holy Spirit, who had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
But listen closely to what Jesus is revealing here! What is He talking about when He says “rivers of living water”? He’s telling you that the life of being a Christian, that glorious life you received when you got born again, is only expressed and brought out by the Holy Spirit! And it will flow out from within your spirit like rivers! The life of a child of God, the life of a Christian, is brought out from within you like rivers by the Holy Spirit!

And when does this happen? Jesus was describing what happens when a child of God, has received the Holy Spirit and has started “speaking in other tongues!”  That’s what He was talking about here! When He says “out of your belly,” what is He talking about? He’s talking about out of your spirit! Your inner most being.  Out of your spirit shall flow rivers of life water; rivers of living water!   So, here is the key: speaking in tongues is the one that releases those rivers of living water! It releases those rivers of life water, those rivers of the life of God that have been deposited in your human spirit! They are brought out by the Holy Spirit!
And what is it that’s going to begin to flow from you like rivers? – love, patience, kindness, boldness, faith, spiritual wisdom begins to flow, divine understanding, divine health, grace will begin to work, spiritual power will begin to ooze from out of you like rivers as you begin to speak in other tongues!  The manifestation of the Spirit according to 1st Corinthians 12 is only given to those who speak in other tongues.  This is the true life of the child of God.

λαλέω  laleo  speak  –  utter a voice or emit a sound, preach, speak

γλῶσσα  glossa  tongue  –  language, dialect, tongue

Let me tell you a story: one day I’m out at a school in Khayelitsha, Cape Town ministering to almost 2 thousand teenagers in a big school hall. It was the toughest crowd of rowdy teenagers I’d ever encountered to date, but still over a thousand of them gave their hearts to Jesus that day.  The school had become so bad and so dangerous that the Head of School had to have armed police on duty so that I could have the meeting with them in that hall. This marked the first time the entire school body would be able to gather in the hall after many years during which it had been impossible.
The meeting went on, and I led many of them to salvation, with the exception of a few who were brought to me after the program. I started preaching the gospel to them, and just like teenagers would, they began making jokes and laughing at me. While this was going on, I simply switched from English to speaking in tongues. I continued to preach the gospel to them in other tongues as if nothing had happened, haha!

My goodness, everything shifted. They all went quiet; their eyes bulged, and their mouths dropped in silence. I was preaching to them in other tongues, and the Holy Spirit arrested them. Soon afterward, I asked them, “Who wants to receive Jesus Christ?” All of them received Christ and went home changed.
I didn’t plan to do this. Listen, if you had told me to preach the gospel in tongues to a group of 20 teenagers who were already making fun of me, I wouldn’t have done that. It would have made them laugh and mock even more. But the wisdom and the power of God through speaking in tongues was exactly what was needed to save those young boys.

This is one of the many countless miracles I encountered with speaking in other tongues over the years.  This is the promise that God made to Abraham, for us to receive the blessing of Abraham through Christ.  The gift of the Holy Spirit is the blessing of Abraham; “that the Gentiles might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:14), and it has arrived, we now have it glory to God!  This is what made Abraham who he was, the gift of the Holy Spirit.
That’s why it is paramount for every child of God to speak in other tongues, because to experience the true Christian life, you must receive the Holy Spirit and begin speaking in tongues.  Speaking releases that living water! It’s what releases the life of God like water flowing from your human spirit! Glory to God!
Make sure you make it habit to speak in other tongues everyday, everywhere, every time and see the working of the power of God in your life flow like living waters.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your precious gift of the Holy Spirit.  Thank you Father, like rivers of living water that flow from within me, the supernatural life of the sons of God is my everyday experience activated by speaking in other tongues. Heavenly Father I thank You,  that as I speak in other tongues, Your eternal life and power are released from my spirit like mighty rivers, expressing and manifesting the true Christian life You have given me in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
Out of my belly, out of my spirit, flow rivers of living water! I am filled with the Holy Spirit everyday and as I speak in tongues, the life of God overflows from within me! I experience and express the fullness of the Christian life through the power of the Holy Spirit everyday!

Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

You know, we’ve been talking about the incredible experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit. And here’s something crucial: when people got filled with the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts, they began to speak in

other tongues! This is not just a side note; it’s a powerful, undeniable evidence!  What is the importance of speaking with other tongues? What does speaking in tongues do for a Christian? I tell you this: until a Christian, a believer, is speaking in tongues, they haven’t yet fully lived out the true Christian life! Yes, they’ve been born again, that legality of salvation is established in their human spirit, and they have a new spirit in them, glory to God! But for that reality, that life, to begin to be expressed out, that person needs to not only receive the Holy Spirit and be filled, but they now have to speak in other tongues! Speaking in tongues is mandatory for every believer in Jesus Christ!

ἀποφθέγγομαι   apophtheggomai  utterance  –  to speak out, speak forth, pronounce elevated discourse, speak forth, utterance

Jesus Himself said it in Mark chapter 16, verse 17: “And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall speak with new tongues!” This is not an option, my friend, it’s a sign! A witness! And why is it so important? Because speaking in tongues releases the power of the life of God that is in your human spirit! Until you start speaking in tongues, the power, the reality, the ability for you to live out that life that has been deposited in your human spirit – it is not working yet!   You are born again, you have believed in Jesus Christ, but for you to begin to live out that life and to experience the power of being a child of God, you have to receive the Holy Spirit and start speaking in other tongues! Acts chapter 1, verse 8 says, “But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses.” What does it mean to be a witness? It means you shall have the evidence! A witness provides evidence, brings out the truth, the reality of what has happened. You cannot begin to produce evidence of the authenticity and reality and truth of your salvation in Christ Jesus without receiving the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues! Speaking in tongues is what brings out that life that has been deposited in your human spirit! Hallelujah!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the ability to speak in tongues. I recognize that speaking in tongues is essential for releasing the power of Your life within me and for experiencing the fullness of my Christian walk. I pray for a greater expression of this spiritual gift in my life.

Speak The Word
I am filled with the Holy Spirit and I speak in other tongues! My tongue is released to bring forth the power of God’s life within me! I am a witness of Christ’s salvation, producing evidence of His reality in my life through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Living Beyond What You See

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

If you want to live a truly triumphant Christian life, you must shift your focus from the seen to the unseen! This is the life of faith that every child of God is born into. The Word of God clearly states that the things we see are temporal – they are subject to change, fleeting, and temporary. But the things which are not seen, which are the things of the Word of God, these are eternal!

These “unseen” things? Primarily refer to what the Word of God says about us in Christ Jesus; and these are eternal, the very eternal spiritual substances that framed the very worlds we inhabit, live in and see today. Through faith, we understand that everything we now perceive physically was created by something that did not appear – that is by the powerful, spoken Word of God!

So, does this very same Word of God say you are healed? Then keep saying that you are healed, no matter what is going on in your body.  Does the Word of God say that you are rich? Does the Word say that you are excellent? Does the Word say you are gifted? Or blessed?  Then keep saying that you are rich, gifted and blessed, no matter what’s going on in your bank account. Why? Because the Word of God is more real and more powerful than your current experience.  Don’t stop speaking and believing  what the Word of God says about you, because “through faith we understand that the world’s were framed by the Word of God, such that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear”. (Hebrews 11:3)

What is faith? In our teaching series “The  Faith Of The Word Of God” we got to define faith according to what the Word of God says it is.  Faith is the present continuous state of spoken persuasion.  Which is living everyday according to the revealed Word spoken, and not what you see or are experiencing.  This is the life of a child of God.  The life modelled to us by the father of faith Abraham.  What kind of life are you living? Is it a life of faith? Or is it an ordinary life led by the status quo and circumstances around you?

Many of God’s children struggle because they are continually looking at their problems, at their circumstances, at what their physical senses tell them. But the Bible admonishes us to not look at the seen things. This is a deliberate choice, our very act and display of faith! This is where we live, where we’ve been called to live our lives.

When you grasp the concept of “faith as substance and evidence of things not seen,” you understand that the unseen Word of God is more real and more powerful than any temporary, seen circumstance. Your faith gives substance to that unseen Word, this will inturn bring it into manifestation in your life.

This is the pathway to a consistent life of victory. Don’t be swayed by what you see in the natural realm. Choose to fix your eyes on the eternal, unseen realities of God’s Word and His promises. As you do, you will empower your faith to bring those unseen realities into your present experience, transforming every challenge into a testimony of triumph!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that the unseen things are eternal and more powerful than the seen. I pray for the grace to constantly fix my eyes on Your eternal Word, rather than on temporal circumstances. Help me to walk by faith, not by sight, giving substance to Your unseen realities in my life, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word

I live in the unseen reality of God’s Word! I am not moved by what my physical eyes perceive, for I know that the unseen is eternal and governs the seen. The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth always and my faith gives substance and evidence to God’s Word in my life, bringing it into manifestation. I walk in triumph, always looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith!

Hearing The Voice Of God

Study The Word

2 Samuel 23:2
The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was on my tongue.

Let’s delve into what David actually said here: “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue!” Wow. I remember discovering this portion of scripture many years ago. As I was growing in my faith, one of the things that mattered most to me was being able to hear God speak and distinguish between my own thoughts, my conscience, and the voice of God. This dilemma troubled me for years until the Holy Spirit directed me to this passage. Oh, how my life changed!
I’d always heard spiritual leaders say, “If you want to learn how to hear the voice of God for yourself, then you need to study the Word of God more.” I was already studying the Word extensively, but I still struggled to discern God speaking to me. You can imagine the frustration; “study the Word more” sounded good, but practically speaking, how did it work? I needed to hear God “now-now, man of God” because I couldn’t tell if it was God or just my own mind.

דּבר (dabar) – to speak, declare, converse, command

That was until I found David’s revelation, which delivered the secret to practically hearing God’s voice for myself and experiencing a prophetic life. It changed my life forever. I didn’t waste any time; my journey of many years, which felt so long, had finally come to an end, glory to God! I immediately started putting it into practice. This was King David’s secret, what made him who he was, and now I had it.
So, what is it? Let me share it with you, so you don’t have to go through the long journey of frustration I did. You see, David knew that because he was anointed, every time he wanted to hear God, all he had to do was take the revealed Word—the scriptures—and start speaking them. When he had the revealed Word on his tongue long enough, the Spirit would speak through him and reveal an unrevealed Word. It’s called working from the known, stirring up the known, in order to stir up inspiration to hear the unknown. Do you get it? Oh, I pray you do!

So, what is the known? The known is the Word of God that has already been revealed, the one that is in the scriptures; the revealed, known Word of God that is in your Bible. You take that and then you put it in your mouth, on your tongue. That’s why God said to Joshua, “This book of the law shall not depart from out of your mouth, but you shall meditate (hagar: roar)” (Joshua 1:8). Joshua, you must roar this revealed Word out of your mouth, day and night. Why? Because God was teaching him the principle, the secret: as long as Joshua had the revealed Word in his mouth, on his tongue, that revealed Word would generate the atmosphere and sensitize his spirit to hear the Voice of God! From there, he would know what to do; he would make his way prosperous because he would be consistently positioned and tuned into the frequency to hear the Voice of God. Aha!

Now, that’s King David and Joshua. Can I show you the Lord Jesus Christ operating in the same way? When you go to Luke chapter 4, from verse 3, the devil is speaking his nonsense to Jesus, remember? And all the while, Jesus Christ, who is the Word made flesh, is responding by saying, “It is written… it is written… it is written…” And then suddenly, in verse 12, “…Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
Do you see it?  Jesus Christ Himself had the written Word on His tongue until the Spirit of God “said“.  That’s because the Spirit of God had now “said”, and was now “speaking by him and his word was on his tongue”.  This what the Spirit of God is saying NOW!  And what was the result? The Bible says the devil left him. Go and check it out in your Bible.

Are you at a place in your life where you’re saying, “I haven’t heard the Voice of God in a long time”? Or are you struggling to hear the leading of God’s Voice or to get direction? Listen, the problem might be that you have too much of men’s words on your tongue. What you need, child of God, is to have the Word of God on your tongue!

מלּה מלּה (millah milleh) – word, speech, utterance

Are you always finding yourself stranded, not knowing or not being sure as to what God is saying to you? Which job to choose from five options? Which way to go, or whether you should go or stay? Turn left or turn right? The blue one or the pink one? Or the tall one or the short one? And you’re searching for the leading of God’s Voice. What you need is to take the written Word and put it in your mouth.
David, whose life was incredibly prophetic, tells us the secret: “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue.” He was a speaker of the scriptures, a talker of the scriptures. This isn’t just about reading; it’s about speaking, declaring out loud to yourself the written Word of God day and night. When you do this, you have tuned into the frequency to hear the Voice of God. And if you do this long enough—sometimes immediately, sometimes God will speak a short while later, maybe even a day or so—it doesn’t matter; you keep coming back to do it until you hear God speak.

Another thing you need to understand is that God is always speaking, but you need to learn how to listen. Secondly, you need to learn the language and ways in which He speaks. What I’m teaching you here will develop you in both of these areas. When we talk about the ways He speaks, I’m talking about how at times the Spirit of God will take over your tongue and put His answer or His direction for you in your mouth (what you’re accustomed to as a prophetic word). Sometimes, while you’re busy speaking the Word, He’ll show you a picture. Sometimes you’ll just have a strong, inaudible prompting directing you in a particular direction (and it’s usually beyond what you’d do of yourself). At other times, if you’re being very stubborn about hearing what He’s been telling you, or you need some encouragement with it but you won’t listen, He’d send someone to confirm the message prophetically, and there are several ways He does that. There are various other multifaceted ways that the Holy Spirit will communicate with you; there’s no one way, but one thing is sure: He’s always speaking. And the other thing that is also sure is that you need to put this teaching into practice if you’re going to hear Him.

That’s how I always know what God wants me to do, when, and how. I am never caught by surprise regarding anything that pertains to me, my life, or the people around me who are connected to me because I’m always in the atmosphere. My wife will tell you, maybe we are praying or studying the Word, or I’m teaching the Word about random stuff, and the Spirit of God will interrupt and communicate. And I’ll say to her, “The Spirit of God has just shown me or said this, that, and the other.” This is happening frequently, if not daily; the Voice of God is continuously speaking to me and speaking through me. This is also now working in her life and relationship with the Spirit of God too, as I’ve been able to teach and transfer this knowledge to her as well. And she’s growing in it, and you can begin that journey too because I have shared with you the practical keys that you can begin to put to work and start this exciting journey of hearing the Voice of the Spirit of God for yourself. This is the life that we’ve been called to. But it was not always that way for me, just as it might be that way for you too, but for me, that was only until, like King David, I learned how to put the written Word on my tongue, and everything changed. Start practicing the same and stick with it, and see what will start happening in your life.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You Word spoken by King David: that as Your Word is on my tongue, Your Spirit speaks by me. Father I thank You for Your increased grace and capacity today, to have Your scriptures constantly on my tongue, cultivating in and around me an atmosphere for Your Voice where my heart is conditioned and tuned in to hear Your Voice, receive Your instruction, and walk in Your divine direction, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me because His Word is on my tongue! I am a talker of the scriptures. I hear the voice of God from within my spirit, guiding me into all truth, all reality and direction. The Word of God on my tongue imparts divinity, life, and power into every aspect of my life and every fiber of my being!

Today, make sure you take a moment in your day to thank “The God of Peace”!   Thank Him for your life, thank Him for bringing you this far.  You may not be where you desire or planned to be, you may not have accomplished all the things that you would have wanted to; but look at how far He has brought you.  Look at how God has preserved you, and kept you, even in these perilous times where there’s all kinds of evil going on the world around you.  Have a grateful heart even if you’re thinking “Shingi, it’s been very difficult and I’m barely making it”.  Yes, that might be the truth of your current experience but always remember that no-matter where you find yourself today it could’ve been much worse; and no-matter how things are at the moment good or bad it can only get better; so always give thanks.  In everything give thanks.
The Amplified Classic Version reveals Him as “the Author and the Giver of peace.” But He’s not just the Giver of peace; He’s the Giver of everything good you need to fulfill His will and your destiny! He’s the God who equips you with everything good so that you may carry out His will!

Imagine that! God thought about you! He thought about the life you were going to live, the experiences you’d have, the things you’d face and deal with. As a loving Father, He prepared these things for us, knowing that through predestination and us coming into Christ, we would come into contact with this life-changing information! He prepared ahead of time so we could prosper and live a prosperous and peaceful life in this generation!

καταρτίζω  katartizo  strengthen  –  repair, restore, mend to perfection and completion, equip to perfection, give everything needed for perfection and completion

The word “perfect” (KJV) or “strengthen” (AMPC) in Hebrews 13:21, katartizo – means to “mend to perfection and completion,” to “equip to perfection,” and to “give you everything that you require”! It means to “repair to completion,” to “fit out or equip to Perfection!” So, when you declare, “I am equipped to perfection,” you are speaking God’s will over your life!

This God of Peace is actively working in you, accomplishing that which is well-pleasing in His sight! He is repairing you to perfection, to completion, wherever you are lacking in your life!  He is restoring you to perfection today so you can fulfill what is well-pleasing in His sight successfully!  Have that expectation of Him as you acknowledge Him, and give thanks to Him today; knowing that He is going to make things better.  It can not get worse; He’s the God that is your Father who will restore you to perfection. It can not get worse; He will mend your heart, He will repair and restore your life; it can not get worse.  He is your God – the Creator of the universe, He is your God.

He provides all the finances you need today, all the resources, all the circumstances, all the training, all the wisdom, all the knowledge, all the people!  He is upholding it all, and He is your God and He knows you by name.  He loves you.  He provides for you every favorable circumstance you need to succeed, to be joyful, to be healthy and sound, and to be preserved and protected!  These are not just some random promises or words, this is His truth.  Never again say “I don’t have everything I need”, ever!  From today, the Lord will provide for you! Doors will open!  He will make what was difficult easy for you!  He will make you stronger, and what ever and where ever it is that you are right now, remember that He is right there with you.  He has never left, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.  He is with You for ever. So thank Him for you life.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, You are the God of Peace that raised Jesus Christ up from the dead, thank You for strength, and for working perfection into every part of my life with Your goodness so that I may perfectly carry out Your will. Thank You for providing me with everything I need to fulfill the purpose You have given me, and to live the life that You predestined for me to live.   Thank You for keeping me; than You for preserving me and protecting me. Thank You for eternal life, thank You for Your peace with prosperity. Thank You Father.
Equip and prepare me today, with every good thing that I require to fulfill my destiny in Christ Jesus. Work and express in and through me all that is excellent and well pleasing to You in my business, job, work, my family, relationships & ministry, in the name of Jesus Christ, Father I give You Thanks, Amen.

Speak The Word

The God of Peace that raised Jesus Christ up from the dead, strengthens, completes, perfects and equips me working perfection into every part of my life with His goodness. I’m equipped to perfectly carry out God’s will for my life. In my business, my job, my profession and the work of the ministry, God provides me with everything I need to please Him. He gives me, equips me and prepares me with every good thing that I require to fulfil my destiny in that good work in Christ Jesus!

The Parakletos, Activated by Praying In Tongues

Study The Word

John 14:26
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

The Lord Jesus Christ introduced us to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in us, and He described the Holy Spirit as “the Comforter.” Now, the Greek word for Comforter here is Parakletos. And Jesus said this Parakletos is exactly like Him, “another one exactly like me.” And this Parakletos is none other than the Holy Spirit. The word Parakletos is rich with meaning. It means Comforter, Strengthener, Counselor, Advocate, Standby, Teacher, and Helper. All seven of these powerful ministries are embodied in the ministry that the Holy Spirit was sent to fulfill in us; and not only that, the Lord Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to do this in us forever. That is incredible! Forever!

As our Teacher, the Holy Spirit teaches us all things and brings all things to our remembrance. There are no words that could ever describe how the ministry of the Holy Spirit has been of benefit to me all these years. What I can advise any child of God is to genuinely recognize Him and establish a real relationship with Him. He will beautify your life.

παράκλητος  Parakletos Comforter  –   Counselor, Advocate, Standby, Strengthener, Teacher, Helper, Comforter

Now, here’s where it gets even more truly exciting! Let me show you this: John 14:26, our opening scripture where the Holy Spirit is introduced to us as the Comforter; the Apostle Paul went on to reveal to us how this ministry of the Holy Spirit as our Comforter will be practically fulfilled in us, glory!
In 1 Corinthians 14:3-4 he says, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.”

Now, don’t get distracted with the wordplay here; all he is telling us is prophesying and speaking in tongues do the same thing. Prophecy edifies, exhorts, and comforts the people the prophesier is speaking to, and speaking in tongues does the exact same thing inside of the person who is speaking the tongues, you get it? If you don’t, read the verse over and over again; you will see it, okay. Remember, there are different levels of prophecy – there’s prophecy which has to do with the five-fold ministry office gift of a prophet which has to do with foretelling past, present, and future the word of God regarding a person, a place, or a thing; and then there’s prophecy which is for every child of God that involves speaking forth – forthtelling the Word of God, and this usually involves the revealed Word of scripture that is being spoken.
That’s forthtelling; and this level of prophecy is for every Spirit-filled child of God; it’s not just for the office of the prophet. In the context of 1 Corinthians 14, he’s referring to the forthtelling of scripture, and not the prophet’s office level of foretelling. The wisdom, however, can also be applied to the ministry of the office gift of a prophet as well, but this is not the subject matter that the Apostle Paul was addressing here; you get it. I trust that you understood that; and now with that contextual foundation in place, let’s get back to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in us; it will all come together now.

παράκλησις  paraklesis  exhortation  –  consolation, counsel, advocacy, strengthening, teaching, admonition, help, assistance, support, encouragement

Now, going back to our opening verse and the Holy Spirit introduced to us as “Comforter,” and now the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:3 expounds on this using another interesting word translated “exhortation” which is related to Parakletos – Comforter. And that word is the verb form, paraklesis, which is the actual activation of all those “Comforter – Paraklesis” seven ministries that the Holy Spirit was sent to fulfill within you! Hallelujah!

This is incredible. So remember we said earlier that “prophesying and speaking in tongues do the same thing. Prophecy edifies, exhorts, and comforts the people the prophesier is speaking to, and speaking in tongues does the exact same thing inside of the person who is speaking the tongues.” That means when you’re forthtelling, preaching the word of God, and there’s edification, exhortation, and comfort to the people by the ministry of the Holy Spirit; as you speak in tongues, the edification, exhortation, and comfort happens within you by the ministry of the same Holy Spirit! That is what the Apostle Paul reveals to us in 1 Corinthians 14, verses 3 and 4.

Meaning, when you speak in tongues, you are activating the ministry of the Comforter within your spirit! Haha! That’s why he said, “he that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself!” And not only that, he does it unto a personal “edification, exhortation, and comfort!” within himself, glory to God!

So when you’re spending time speaking, praying in other tongues, you are releasing exhortation – paraklesis from “alos Parakletos” – the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

Are you feeling discouraged, sad, or having depressive thoughts? Is fear oppressing you or are you experiencing symptoms of timidity? Are you feeling like you need strength? What you need is paraklesis from alos Parakletos! You don’t need to run from one friend to the other in a panic for advice when you’re looking for counsel. What you need is to get into your room, sit down, and start speaking in other tongues!  Sit down with praying in tongues and place a demand on the ministry of the Spirit of God in you; sit down with it until there is a change.
You need comfort from the Comforter, counsel from the Counselor – the Parakletos! The Holy Spirit, He is your wonderful Counselor, and He is within you, and speaking in tongues activates His counsel to flow. If you speak in tongues long enough, you will know what to do, you will know where to go! You will have strength!
This is how you draw water from the wells of salvation, rivers of living water flowing from your belly. Speaking in tongues activates the Holy Spirit’s multi-faceted ministry in and through you! Are you stuck in your life needing help? He is your Helper; speak in tongues and activate the help that He was sent to give you for your life. Take advantage of this ministry of the Holy Spirit that is within you. No child of God has any business living a down life; not with this at your disposal; what depression? What discouragement? No, not for you!
What you need is paraklesis from alos Parakletos – your Comforter, Counselor, Standby, Teacher, Helper, Advocate and Strengthener.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit, my Parakletos – my Comforter, Intercessor, Counselor, Advocate, Standby, Teacher, and Helper. I thank You that as I fellowship with You speaking in tongues, I am activating the full seven-fold ministry of the Holy Spirit within me, receiving comfort, counsel, and help in every area of my life in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
The Spirit of God, my Parakletos, is at work within me! He was sent to be with me forever! As I pray in unknown tongues, I release all the paraklesis that I need from the Holy Spirit – my Parakletos. I receive divine comfort, wise counsel, powerful intercession, divine insight in teaching, and supernatural help. My Helper is activated within. My life is empowered by the Holy Spirit!

Jesus: The Ultimate Example of Scriptural Obedience

Study The Word
Luke 24:25-27
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

We are in the last days, and it is more important now than ever whose example you are following. Look at Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God! His relationship with the Scriptures, His reverence for them, and His absolute obedience to them should be our supreme example. Even after His resurrection, when He could have simply displayed His nail-pierced hands, what did He do instead? He referred people back to the Scriptures! Jesus, the living proof of the resurrection, didn’t point to Himself. He pointed to the Scriptures to testify of Himself. He “expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” This was a powerful lesson in valuing the written Word above even physical manifestation. Why? Because Jesus understood that those Scriptures were the inspired prophecies of God, written words that He Himself was destined to fulfill.

2 Peter 2:21 says, “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”

Look at the relationship that Jesus Christ had with the written Word, even though He Himself was the Word made flesh. He understood that He was the Word made flesh, but He always chose to direct people to the written Word as opposed to directly pointing towards Himself. Why? That’s because the words contained in the books belonged to the Father. They were His Father’s Words; He said, “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me” (John 5:30).

What and where was this will of the Father?

It was in the written Word, the Scriptures contained in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Such that even after His resurrection, He kept referring and pointing everyone to the Scriptures, and like we see in our opening verse: “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” This is the example that every child of God and follower of Jesus Christ should be emulating. Why would any believer in Jesus Christ want to do things differently?

And then, when you look at Philippians 2 from verse 5, where it says: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:”

The Word here reveals to us that Jesus humbled Himself and became obedient; that’s striking. Firstly, what was His obedience to? The obedience of Jesus could only be measured by His strict adherence to “all the scriptures the things concerning himself,” those things that were written concerning Him—meaning the obedience of Jesus Christ was to the written Word—obedience to the Scriptures. Secondly, we also see from this verse that before God, humility can only be measured by your submission to the written Word, the Scriptures.

That is why it is imperative for every child of God to know and understand the Word of God for themselves.

What an example Jesus left us; when people abandoned Him, all Jesus had were the things written concerning Him in the Scriptures. And the Bible declares that because of this obedience—obedience even unto death—God highly exalted Him and gave Him a name above every name! This is where promotion comes from. His promotion, His exaltation, came from His unwavering obedience to the voice of the Scriptures. Are you depending on the Scriptures the way Jesus did? When challenges arise, do you refer back to what is written? There are things that have been written in the Word concerning you; what are those things? There are the things written in the epistles. Do you know them? If not, find out about them and submit yourself to them. Never let anyone talk you out of the efficacy and the importance of the written Word in your life and in your relationship with God; for your relationship with the written Word of God is the only thing that validates and measures your relationship with God. What Jesus showed us in this example in our opening verse is that one cannot have a relationship with God outside of the written Word. This is not a suggestion; it is the only example of the One who perfectly succeeded in it – our Lord Jesus Christ!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the perfect example of Jesus Christ. I pray that the mind of Christ concerning the scriptures would be in me. Heavenly Father, help me to depend on Your written Word, to reverence it, and to be obedient to its voice, just as Jesus was. May my life be a testimony to the power of Your Word in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I follow the example of Jesus Christ! My obedience is to the voice of the scriptures, just as Jesus was. I trust in the written Word of God to validate my life and guide my steps. Because of my doing of the Word, I declare that promotion and exaltation are mine perpetually!

Justified by Faith

Romans 5:1 KJV
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

 “Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”  It’s a settled, legal reality born from the completed work of Jesus Christ! Understanding the distinction between Christ’s Legal and Vital Ministries helps us grasp the profound depth of this peace, and how all what Jesus did on cross is connected to us vitally today.
Legally, we were justified by faith. What does that mean? It means God, in His infinite wisdom and righteousness, declared us “not guilty”, all because of our faith in what Jesus Christ did for us.  There can be no accusation against you or your life in Christ Jesus; you are not guilty, hallelujah!  Not guilty!
He made us righteous through the perfect sacrifice of His Son. That blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed you and made you not guilty.  You need to make this the reality by which you live by everyday.
Before we even knew it, on legal grounds, we have been delivered from Satan’s dominion, Satan’s accusations to impose upon your life.  We have been made new creations in Christ Jesus, and made righteous; think about it, that’s you.  This legal standing, established through Jesus’ work on the cross, is the bedrock of our peace. There could be no reconciliation, no joining together in perfect relationship and perfect standing with God, without this. Man can not have a relationship with God without Jesus Christ.  That’s what Jesus meant when He said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by me.”  That’s because it is only those that are justified by faith in Him, and made righteous and holy through His sacrifice can have a relationship with God.

And what flows from this justification? The vitality of the “peace with God.” The peace of God is not merely an absence of conflict; it is God’s own peace, calmness, and tranquility of your spirit, soul and body, made available to us through the sacrifice of His Son. It’s a peace that permeates our spirit, it permeates our minds, our consciousness because of the effect of the working of the righteousness of God that is now at work in us.  This peace is a living, breathing reality, vitally administered by the Holy Spirit within us.  It is unexplainable, it’s a peace that gives you calmness in the midst of the storm, in the face of danger and threat; there is a calm; when everywhere else, with everyone else there is panic; but with you there’s the peace of God; divine tranquility. That is only because of our oneness with God, because of our justification and effect of righteousness reconciled to the Father through the death of His Son, and this reconciliation is based on unshakeable legal grounds.

Embrace the truth that you are justified. Say it to yourself over and over again throughout the day; “I’m justified, I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.”  Make these talking sessions a part of your daily life; make it a part of you. That is the only way you are going to experience the vitality of your justification, and everything that the Lord Jesus Christ made available for you.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that because I am justified by faith through the finished work of Jesus Christ, I now have perfect peace with You. Thank You for the legal grounds established by Your Son’s sacrifice, which reconciled me to You. I receive and live in Your peace today.

Speak The Word
I am justified by faith, and I have peace with God through my Lord Jesus Christ! The war is over, and I am in perfect relationship with my Father. I walk in this divine peace, knowing that it is a gift from God, made real in my life by the Holy Spirit.

Tithe Separates You from Poverty

Study The Word

Mark 8:35 – 37
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.  36  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  37  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

As a child of God, why must you give your tithe and your offering? It is to separate you from the darkness of this world’s financial system! When you are born again, you have no reason to suffer. God has given you enough revelation in His Word for a glorious life. If you are suffering, it’s the way you want it; don’t blame God and ask Him, “Why am I suffering like this?” The Bible says, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” It’s your choice!  And remember that God has set out in His Word a financial system with financial principles that you need to learn and apply consistently in order for your enjoy the full benefits of the provisions of His kingdom.

Okay, so you say, “Shingi, why am I suffering like this? Is it because of the government and the country I live in, and God can’t do anything for me here?” Well, yes and no! Yes, the government and the country where you live are partly or directly responsible for what you’re suffering right now, but no—God can definitely do something about it. In fact, He already did! The difference will be what you decide to do with what God has done for you to live a victorious and prosperous life. What are you going to do with your life? In the kingdom of God, you are allowed to start small in anything you do, but never remain small, because to remain small is a choice. The trajectory of God’s kingdom is growth, substantial supernatural growth, and that includes your finances.

מעשׂרה מעשׂר מעשׂר  ma‛ăśêr  ma‛ăśar  ma‛aśrâh  tithe  –  tithe, tenth part

Listen, if you choose to ride a bicycle for the rest of your life, God is with you; and if you choose to drive a car, God is also with you; and if you choose to charter jets, God is equally with you. It’s your choice, but there will always be a consequence of choice and a limit to your influence based on your choices.  Just make sure you choose something, and afterward be happy with your choice.
In life, you can plan your growth in everything, including your finances, and also establish a level of influence on the world around you; it’s up to you. Prosperity is multifaceted; it goes beyond just money. There are many poor people with a lot of money, and many rich people with some or little to no money. True prosperity is beyond this and encompasses a lot more.  But always make sure that you choose prosperity.

Some people’s perspective can only see today, some others can only see this week, and then there are those that see only this month, and then the year, five years, ten, and just this lifetime, and so on. They can’t tell you about the life hereafter because their perspective is limited. And then there are those of us whose perspective was enlightened by Jesus Christ, who see in the realm of eternity. We see and make decisions based not on today, next month, or next year, but both in the life that now is and in the life that is to come. Only Jesus gave to man the certainty of life beyond death and also proved it with His resurrection from the dead; nobody else.

That’s the perspective of prosperity that Jesus unveiled to us. True prosperity involves a number of things: it involves salvation in Christ Jesus and a living relationship with the only true God first—that’s spiritual. And then after that, you have the realm of prosperity that has to do with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding—that’s prosperity of your soul. And then you have prosperity that has to do with the physical, which is your physical body, and then prosperity that has to do with physical substance and financial prosperity. If math means anything, then that’s four parts to make the whole. Finances are just a quarter of the whole, but they are also very important, just as important as the other three.

ἀποδεκατόω  apodekatoō  tithe  –  to give a tenth

But it is not more important than the other parts, as the devil would like to deceive the world into believing. Hence the Lord Jesus would say, “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” And then he said, “Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” What is he interrogating? He’s saying what good is it if every aspect of what could be deemed or viewed as “prosperity,” considering every aspect of it, what is the value of having just the one without the others?

You have to make a choice! Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” This is the foundation of true wisdom. How truly prosperous is that guy who has all this money but has no fear of God? To think that’s enough is the pinnacle of stupidity! And yet the world is filled with these people being idolized every other fool’s day. As a child of God, make sure that you are involved in the development and building of all aspects and dimensions of prosperity, and not just one or the other. Participate in the development of all; complete and total prosperity—spiritual, mental, physical, material, and financial. That’s your destiny and calling in Christ Jesus. Never listen to anyone who says one or the other is not important; hey, they all are!

There’s the fool that says, “All I need is finances, I don’t need God or a relationship with God—in fact, there’s no God, all that matters is money!” Now that’s the biggest fool of them all. And then there’s the other fool who says, “I don’t need finances, all I need is God.” That’s another fool who hasn’t understood his Bible and his assignment in the world that he has been brought into. Never be any of these fellows.

And then there’s the guy who is sound in doctrine and well-balanced; he or she understands that there is a balance between the spiritual, the intellectual, the physical, the material, and financial. Make sure that in your journey you are working on, developing, and pursuing all aspects of prosperity.

Mammon is the god of money in the world. If you’re going to worship him, he will give you money, but there must be collateral. That spirit has swayed the lives of men over the years (Matthew 23:31-35). There is a spirit world and there is a physical world, but the spirit world is more important. It rules and controls everything.

Now, regarding finances in the kingdom of God: the fact is, unless you are a tither, you cannot benefit or participate in the financial blessings of God. As a child of God, your giving, your tithes, your offerings, and your seeds are the things you need to do to participate in God’s principles of financial prosperity; and tithing is one of them; let no man deceive you.  Satan has been given strict rebuke against messing with a tither in any of their financial endeavors. So in the spirit realm, Satan sees you as either functioning with God’s principle or as functioning by your own foolish wisdom. And if you are a tither, you have no business with generational curses, lack, or limitation and poverty!  It’s impossible!

Listen, there will always be a distinction between those that tithe, and those that don’t. Make no mistakes about it.  I have been in ministry for a long enough period to study and watch both specimens. And trust me, you don’t want to be a part of those that don’t tithe – it never ends well.
Initially, it may appear like it is going well, but trust me, don’t trust me rather just trust your Bible, it is not going to end well.  Participate in tithing.
Tithing is in your Bible whether you like it or not; God’s Word said it first. Nobody randomly came up with the idea. The fact that it is in your Bible is all that you need. Never listen to the so-called Christians who like to negotiate and try to be smart with the authority of God’s Word. Don’t listen to those fools.

The fact is, the tithe is an idea that is extensively communicated in the Bible, which any true believer who believes in the infallibility of the Word of God should never have a problem with.  The last time I checked it was the Devil that opposes, dissuades, deceives and deviates from the things that God said or ask for in scripture. (Genesis 3:1 – 6)  Isn’t it insightful, how that the principle behind Genesis 3 had to do with a part that God said leave for me and you can have the rest of the trees in the garden; except for this one.  The Devil came right in and said “Really, did God say that?” The next time you hear someone is talking sideways about giving or tithing remember that.

Nowadays, they say all kinds of things to try and get you to not participate and give like, “Oh, that was Old Testament”, some will say “why tithe, when you can give more than 10%, you should give whatever you want even more than tithe in the new testament”.  All kinds of excuses; stop it, just start with the tithe and be faithful with that; and if you want to do more then do more but just stop talking and do it.

Hebrews Chapter 7 reveals to us three priesthoods-the priesthood of Melchizedek, the priesthood of Levi and the priesthood of Jesus Christ that is of the order of Melchizedek.  That is the priesthood that was before the Old Testament – Melchizedek, and then the Levitical priesthood of the Old Testament, and the priesthood of Jesus Christ of the New Testament.   And it reveals that  the purpose of these priesthoods was to also receive tithes together with other offerings and sacrifices.  And the priesthood of Jesus Christ is declared by the Word of God to be in the order of the priesthood of Melchizedek; if that is true, then if the priesthood of Melchizedek received tithes and the priesthood of Jesus Christ is of that order of Melchizedek; why wouldn’t the priesthood of Jesus Christ receive tithes?
It becomes very clear that only the Devil would suggest to you that a child of God shouldn’t pay tithes; and that the priesthood of Jesus Christ which is after the order of Melchizedek does not recognize or receive tithes.  That is foolish; do not be deceived.  The priesthood of Jesus Christ recognizes and receives the giving of tithes.

If you truly believe! Why would anyone who professes to be a believer in the infallibility of the Word of God that is contained in the Bible have a problem with what it says about tithing? The same buffoon has no problem paying fifteen, twenty, thirty, even forty percent taxes to his earthly government that is blatantly abused by corruption before everybody’s eyes. And that same person says they believe in Jesus, who said on the subject, “Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and unto God what belongs to God.” And that fool will lie to you and tell you Jesus was talking about hands lifted high, worship, and praises, and not offering and giving’s to God, sigh. These same false teachers come and try to dissuade God’s children from paying tithes in the house of God?

Listen, you can make excuses all you want; but the scriptures cannot be broken. You just have to decide what part of the scriptures you want to be involved with. But you can’t choose the consequences of being ignorant of the scriptures; those are fixed. So, in your life, choose wisely. Find out from the totality of God’s Word what His provisions for financial prosperity are and make up your mind to function in them. Focus on doing what the Word of God says only, and focus on being a doer of that only, no matter what’s trending or not regarding giving or not giving in the kingdom of God. Because if you don’t function by the Word of God, Satan has the right to do to you what he does to unbelievers, because you are operating outside of God’s principles of financial prosperity.

So never stop tithing; and if you’ve been on the fence as a child of God, start today, or as soon as possible, and never let anyone talk you out of it. Don’t wait; you will never regret it.

Pray The Word

Father, I thank You for the truth of prosperity that comes through my tithing, which separates me from the financial darkness of this world and connects me to Your financial blessings and provisions. I declare that I am a faithful tither, operating by Your Word and enjoying a glorious life free from lack and financial poverty in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word

I am a tither, and I am separated from the financial darkness of this world! The financial blessings of Jesus Christ are mine, and participate in God’s financial system through my giving always. I function in divine authority, and no curse of poverty and lack has power over me. My finances are blessed, and I continually operate in God’s glorious plan for total and complete prosperity in my life!

The Holy Spirit Is The Author of The Scripture

Study The Word

Acts 18:25 – 26
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.  26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Here’s a critical truth many miss: the Holy Spirit is the author of the scriptures!  This is why, despite the eloquence and knowledge some may possess, they cannot truly understand or correctly interpret the Word without Him. Remember Apollos? He was an eloquent man, mighty in the scriptures, well-instructed in the way of the Lord . He could speak and teach diligently, like a theologian, or one of those eloquent academics who know every verse . But something vital was missing: he “only knew the baptism of John”.  He wasn’t baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit to speak in other tongues and prophesy; he lacked the Holy Spirit!
This is why Aquila and Priscilla had to explain “the way of God more perfectly” (Acts 18:26) to him and get him born again and filled with the Holy spirit before he left from there and went to Corinth. (Acts 19:1 – 4)  And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,  2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.  3  And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

ἀκριβέστερον  akribesteron  more perfectly  – more exactly, more perfectly, more accurately

These disciples of John who the Apostle Paul also met at Ephesus were also only accustomed to the baptism of John, just like Apollos.  And the Apostle Paul explained the way of God more perfectly to them, “Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.  5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.” (Acts 19:4 – 6)

Knowing the letters of scriptures is good but isn’t enough; you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit in order for Him to explain them to you giving you accurate understanding; and from then on the scriptures will come alive in their full power and truth.  Jesus Himself, before He ascended, told His disciples to “tarry in Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high”(Luke 24:49)—referring to the Holy Spirit . This was shortly after He had had to “open up their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” (Luke 24:45), by blowing the Holy Spirit onto them imparting the understanding of the Spirit so that they could understand the scriptures!

If you are not filled with the Holy Spirit, you will struggle to understand the scriptures.  The scriptures will not make sense. Everything will appear like it is filled with contradictions.  I’m sure you have heard certain people say that?  The book just doesn’t make sense to them; they are always left with more questions than answers.  The book is so spiritual, supernatural and powerful in that if you do not have the Holy Spirit it purposely will give you confusion. Listen, that certain people don’t understand the Bible it is not a mistake, it’s not by accident, but it is by divine design; it is intentional.  It is the intentionality that makes the texts hide the understanding from those who do not have the Holy Spirit in them to understand it.  Such that if the Holy Spirit doesn’t give you understanding you’ll remain with confusion and contradictions.
But those that would be humble to not only receive Jesus Christ but also receive the Spirit of God and be filled with Him will He open up their minds, and give to them understanding scriptures.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, sent to guide you into all truth that is in the scriptures.  He will teach you all things and bring them to your remembrance.  Without Him, you risk making shipwreck of the Word, misleading yourself and others, just like many do.  So, if you want to truly understand the deep things of God in the scriptures, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit. Your relationship with the scriptures must change after today; understand that the Holy Spirit is the gateway to unlocking the understanding of the scriptures to unlock their divine power!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is the Author of the scriptures and is the Spirit of Truth. I pray that I would always be filled with the Holy Spirit, enabling me to truly understand, interpret, and walk in the truths of Your Word. I ask for divine revelation that only comes through the Spirit of God in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
The Holy Spirit, the Author of Scripture, guides me into all truth! I am filled with the Holy Spirit, and He opens my understanding to the deep things of God in the Word. I declare that I will never be misled, for the Spirit of Truth teaches me all things concerning the scriptures!

Born of the Word, Born as Gods

Study The Word

John 10:34-36
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

This is one of the most amazing revelations of your identity in Christ! When Jesus was confronted by those who accused Him of blasphemy for calling Himself the Son of God, He referred them back to their own law, quoting, “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” He then makes a profound statement: “If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken…”.
Think about this! God called those to whom His Word came as “gods”.

θεός  theos gods  –  a god or goddess, deities, divinities, of divine origin

  The children of Israel were not even born of the Word, but that simply the Word of God came to them; they were simply recipients of the Word.  Yet, for us, the children of God in the New Testament, it’s an even greater reality because we are “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever”.
The Word of God didn’t just come to us; we are born of the Word!
What does this mean? Jesus is telling us that if those who merely had the Word come to them were called gods, how much more are WE gods, who are born of the Word of God? We are born with the very life and nature of God!
He was also aware that He was also born of the Word of God – being the Word of God made flesh.  And He was also aware that there are those of us who will be coming on the scene after His resurrection.
This is not blasphemy; this is the divine truth about who you are, being revealed by Jesus!
“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High” .
Don’t let anyone diminish your divine identity. You are a product of God’s incorruptible Word, carrying His very nature. This understanding should ignite a fire within you and change your perspective on who you are and what you can accomplish in Christ! Embrace your true identity!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that I am born of Your incorruptible Word. I declare that because I am born of Your Word, I am a partaker of Your divine nature. I embrace my identity as a child of the Most High, a “god” in You, not by my own might but by Your sovereign grace and truth in the name of Jesus Christ.

Speak The Word
I am born of the Word of God! I possess the life and nature of God because I am born of His incorruptible seed. I am a child of the Most High, and I walk in the divine identity and authority that Christ has given me through His Word!

Who Is Elohim? Discovering The Origin Of Our Image

Study The Word
Genesis 1:1-2 
In the beginning God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth. And the Spirit of God [Ruach Elohim] moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:26
And God [Elohim] said let us make [asah: fashion, design] man in our image [tselem: shape, image, figure] after our likeness [demûth: model, likeness, design]:

Have you ever pondered or questioned the plurality in Genesis 1:26 when God says, “Let us make man in our image”? This is in connection with the use of the Hebrew “Elohim,” which is plural, meaning “Gods,” and not the use of “Eloah” or “El,” which means God. If you’ve been a Christian for a while, you’ve probably heard people teach that the plurality refers to the Trinity or Triunity, meaning the plurality is “Father, Son (the Word – Jesus), and Holy Spirit.” For a very long time, I thought it was that simple but didn’t realize that it was even simpler and was written there all along.

The crux of the entire truth was revealed from the beginning, in the first line of Genesis chapter 1: “In the beginning God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth. And the Spirit of God [Ruach Elohim]….” There it is: Elohim = Ruach Elohim. That means every time you see Elohim, it is referring to Ruach Elohim; that means this is the same personality. Elohim and Ruach Elohim are one person. That’s the first part, which very simply reveals that Elohim is the Spirit of God—Elohim is the Holy Spirit. How incredible is that? The scripture is telling you that every time you see Elohim, just know it is Ruach Elohim—the Spirit of God.

Now, the next question would be, what is this plurality about? Because Genesis chapter 1, verse 3 says, “And God [Elohim] said, Let there be light: and there was light.” This verse is where a lot of scholars would pivot, saying, “Well, God said, that is where we get the Word; that’s Jesus, and that is what qualifies the plurality.”  This is because John chapter 1, verse 1 states that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Yes, the Word was present, but He had not yet been revealed as the Word; only Ruach Elohim—the Spirit of God—was revealed.  So, until Jesus shows up thousands of years later, creation is attributed only to the revelation of Ruach Elohim—the Spirit of God. Even Jesus Himself said “..God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship Him.”  So Jesus saying here that God- who is also the Father is Spirit – Ruach Elohim.  That is why throughout Genesis chapters one, two, and three, all you read is “Elohim” or “Ruach Elohim.” There is no revealing or revelation of the personality of the Word of God as a divine personality at creation, even though technically the Word of God was present, “in the bosom of the Father,“(John 1:18) God the Father being Ruach Elohim—the Spirit of God. Now, this isn’t a theological conundrum; it’s the glorious revelation of the nature and mystery of the Godhead and our origin and identity in Him.

And it is important for us to understand these truths so that we can also understand the true source and origin of our image and identity. Someone rightly said that you cannot know where you are going if you do not know who you are and where you came from. So, this knowledge is key in understanding our true identity, our true origin, and our true value.

Let’s deal with the plurality in question: Why is the Spirit of God revealed here as plural, which gave us the expression “let us make man in our image”? The plurality of Elohim, as revealed in the scripture and given to us by several witnesses, has to do with the understanding that God—Elohim, in His fullness—is seven Spirits. That is revealed to us in Isaiah 11:2: “And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;“. Herein lies the plurality of Elohim clearly: “…and the spirit of the Lord…. the spirit of wisdom and understanding… the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord...”, giving us seven manifestations of Ruach Elohim—the Spirit of God.

נשׁמה  neshâmâh  breath –  breath, wind,  spirit

Isaiah 11:2, the prophet Isaiah wasn’t just blessing us with mere poetic language; he was disclosing a profound revelation of the multifaceted nature of the personality of the Spirit of God—Elohim.  Revelation 4:5 further reveals this, speaking of “seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” And again, in Revelation 5:6, we see the Lamb with “seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” This is the reason for the plurality of God in Genesis.

Why seven spirits? Because seven is the number or symbol signifying fullness, signifying the completeness of the Godhead. This profound understanding of Elohim as the Spirit in His glorious fullness changes everything! This is an unveiling of the very nature of the One who created us.  So when He said, “…let us make“—let us who? What He was saying there is, “Let us [the Spirit of the Lord, of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge of the fear of the Lord] make man in our image and in our likeness!” Khayayayaa!

So I was made in the image of the Spirit of the Lord; I was fashioned in the image and likeness of the Spirit of wisdom; I was designed in the image and likeness of the Spirit of understanding, counsel, might, and of the fear of the Lord! “I am fearfully and wonderfully made,” in the image of Elohim.

This truth empowers us to grasp the magnificent scope of God’s wisdom, understanding, counsel, and knowledge that are at work in us through the Spirit now that we have been reunited with Ruach Elohim in Christ Jesus. Hey, when you operate in this consciousness, you tap into the very essence of Elohim, the God of all fullness!

Listen, I’m different! Ayaa! If you ever get to know or be around me, you’d know that this guy is different! Why? It’s because I’ve come to a place in my life where the grace of God raised me to understand this stuff, haha!
I am not ordinary! You can never be ordinary after God reveals to you this stuff!

I can never be put down, I can never be shamed; there’s nothing that can ever put me down in this life visible or invisible—it’s too late! I know where I come from, and I know where I’m going; I know who I am! Glory to God!!

Okay, so a profound truth we uncover in God’s Word revealing the very hand that fashioned us and breathed life into our being: we see Moses, in Genesis 1:26; 2:7, which says it is Elohim—the Spirit of God. And then the Prophet Job, who lived even before Moses and walked with God, echoes this profound revelation concerning man’s creation by Elohim—the Spirit of God. In Job 33:4, he declares, “The Spirit of God has made [asah: fashion, design] me, and the breath [neshâmâh: breath, spirit] of the Almighty [Shaddai] has given me life.” Think about this: Job, a prophet with direct communion with God, stated unequivocally that it was the Spirit of God—Elohim—who made man and breathed into him the breath of life.  He said this and was given revelation of this even before Moses recorded the full account in Genesis 1 and 2.

This is the foundational truth about our origin! When we consider the first Adam, we see the Spirit of God’s work. But it doesn’t stop there, does it? The witness of the Spirit continues with the Second Adam, Jesus Christ. While only John in his Gospel and Epistle is the sole witness that tells us that the Word was in the beginning and created all things, and the Word was God—God being Elohim because the God that was revealed to us in Genesis as Elohim was the only One revealed in the beginning.  The Word was not revealed, and so Jesus was not there.  Many scholars do not understand this; Jesus, the Son of God was not there at the creation in Genesis.  But Matthew and Luke, in alignment with Job and Moses, reveal to us that it was the Spirit of God—Elohim—who is also responsible for the conception of Jesus.  Matthew 1:18 says Mary “was found with child of the Holy Ghost,” and Luke 1:35 affirms, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee…“

עשׂה  ‛âśâh  made – fashion, make, design

The testimony of two or three witnesses consistently points to the undeniable truth that: it is the Spirit of God—Elohim at work! Moses, Job, Matthew, Luke, and even Paul (who speaks of Jesus being “declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of Holiness” in Romans 1:4) all confirm this.

When we seek to understand who created man, we can not rely on just one account. We need the record of two or three witnesses- “for at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”  Do you see the consistent thread? Moses, Job, Matthew, Luke, and Paul all bearing witness to the Spirit as the divine agent of creation, of the universe, of the first man, the second man, and of the new creation.  And He will be the divine agent of the creation of the new heaven and the new earth.  This multiplicity of witnesses establishes the truth beyond doubt: it is the Spirit of God—Elohim—who creates, makes, forms, breathes life, and quickens!  Moses, in Genesis 1:1, speaks of Elohim—the Spirit of God [Ruach Elohim]—moving and creating. Then, we have the powerful witness of Job, who lived even earlier, stating clearly in Job 33:4 that “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.” That’s already two witnesses, perfectly aligning! But God gave us more;

over and above that, Matthew and Luke reveal to us who Jesus’s Father was—the Holy Spirit—Ruach Elohim. And when He is raised from the dead, who comes to raise Jesus from the dead? It is Him again—His Father—the Spirit of God—Ruach Elohim.

Paul, the apostle by revelation, in Romans 1:3-4 reveals that Jesus Christ “is declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” A divine act empowered and carried out by the same Spirit—Ruach Elohim.  Romans 6:4 reinforces this: “…that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father...” Who is this “glory of the Father“? It is the same Spirit of God—Ruach Elohim. And critically, Romans 8:11 proclaims, “if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you…” Do you see this? Now I could go on and on but I’m sure you understand this now.  The Spirit, the very same Ruach Elohim who moved over the waters in Genesis 1:2, is the one who created man in His own image and likeness in Genesis 1:26, went on and fashioned and designed him in Genesis 2:7, and is the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead!

In Christ, we now bear the completeness of His image and likeness. This is our present-day reality in Christ Jesus! Born of the Word of God, we are fashioned and designed in the image and likeness of the Spirit of God—Ruach Elohim! Never forget this! That same resurrection power, this quickening Spirit, Ruach Elohim, dwells in you! Think about the ramifications: the same power that defied death and conquered the grave is resident within your spirit! You were made in His image and in His likeness; that is why He can come, fill you, and live inside you—that is why it is possible, if you ever wondered why or how! This means that sickness, weakness, and limitations have no dominion over you when you consciously align with your true identity and are in touch with your roots, your origin, which is imbued with the Spirit’s power, the power of Ruach Elohim.

Renew your mind; do it today. Don’t see yourself as you did before now. Make the change in your mind today and start living in the consciousness of your true identity, your true image. You are born of the Word of God, made, fashioned, and designed in the image of the Spirit of God—Ruach Elohim. This is a revelation that grounds us in our divine design. We are not accidental; we are the intentional, Spirit-breathed, Elohim image-bearing creations of God. What an incredible, unshakeable, eternal truth and identity to anchor your existence on! There is no higher knowledge of self than this. Nothing can ever make me see myself as less than this.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for fashioning me and making me in Your image and in Your likeness. Thank You Father for the grace to assume the fulness of my identity through this knowledge from today.   Thank You Father, for the light of the knowledge of my true identity and origin from You in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the Spirit of God, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of counsel, the Spirit of might, knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. I am a bearer of the image of God! I am fashioned  and designed to look like Him, be like Him and function like Him. I live and walk in this consciousness of my identity and my origin, in the name of Jesus!

The All-Encompassing Name

Study The Word
Matthew 28:18-19
And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Let’s take a look at the magnitude of what Jesus declared here. All power in heaven and on earth is given to Him! Not some power, but ALL power! Hallelujah! And then, He gives a mighty commission: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them…” What does that word baptizing truly mean in this context? It’s baptizo, which means to dip into, to put into. So, Jesus is saying, “Go and put them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Now, here’s the revelation that will solidify your faith: What is the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? It is JESUS CHRIST! Think about it, when Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus responded, “Have I been so long a time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father.” If you’ve seen Jesus, you’ve seen the Father! Glory to God!

βαπτίζω  baptizō  baptizing  –  to immerse into, to submerge, dip into, sink into

The fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Jesus Christ. So, when you declare the name Jesus Christ, you are uttering the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The fullness of the Godhead! What a glorious truth. So now, that means the Holy Spirit Himself responds and answers to the name of Jesus! When you ask in Jesus’ name, the Holy Spirit goes into action, performing the work! This is why that name is “above every name, and at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow!” Use the name of Jesus, don’t keep quiet; even if you say “Shingi, I’ve used it before, nothing happened, it didn’t work.” Who told you it didn’t work? The name always works, ALWAYS! It’s just that you have preconceived ideas of how you want it to work, and when it doesn’t work the way you want it to in ignorance of spiritual things, you drop your head, quit and say, “aah, it didn’t work.” I’ve got news for you, it always works; Jesus would never lie. It always works, just keep doing it, don’t stop.

ὄνομα  onoma  name – name, authority, character

The problem is you want to walk by sight and want to see it work by your sight and your senses and your sight before you say it worked; that is the problem. But you were called not to walk there, as a child of God; you were called to “walk by faith and not by sight!” So keep doing it until you get the results, don’t stop, never quit. Keep saying, “In the name of Jesus Christ!!!” Until there’s a discharge of the power from your spirit; you will know it. Those of you who have done this before, you know what I’m talking about. You don’t quit; we don’t give in; no, never, we are a victor by the power of the name of Jesus Christ! Always victorious. Recognize the power, the all-encompassing authority in that glorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ! John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

Hallelujah! Did you catch that? Jesus said, “The works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do!” He’s talking about you, child of God! This isn’t just for apostles or select ministers; this is for everyone who believes in Him. The Bible tells us how “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and He “went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Jesus was doing good and healing, anointed with the Holy Spirit! And now, He says you will do the works He did, and even greater works, because He’s gone to the Father. So, if Jesus was a healer, what does that make you, who believes in Him and is empowered by the same Spirit? You are also a healer! Yes, you! When they talk about pandemics, viruses, and all these sicknesses and diseases, understand this: To the child of God, to the believer in Jesus, you are the healer! You are not the one to get infected! Why would I need a vaccine when Jesus said, “Greater works than these shall he do?” This isn’t arrogance; it’s revelation, it’s truth. There are more viruses coming, more pandemics coming, Jesus already told us so; but He left us with more than enough to destroy every virus, every pandemic, every disease! Which is being filled with the Holy Spirit! Speaking the Word of God, speaking in tongues, singing a spiritual song making melody in our hearts! Using the name of Jesus, going everywhere healing the sick, casting out devils and raising the dead! It’s our destiny, it’s our time now.

Pray The Word
Father, I thank You for anointing Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit and power to do good and heal all. And thank You Father, for empowering me also with the same Spirit and the same anointing and authority in Your Name, the name of Jesus Christ to do the works He did, and greater works. Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation of Your Name, Jesus Christ, and that all power in heaven and on earth is in Your Name. Thank You for giving me access to this power everyday, in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am a healer, just like Jesus! Therefore, sickness, disease, and viruses have no power over me. I operate in the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit to do good and to heal all, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! I declare that the Name of Jesus Christ is above every name! As I speak the Name of Jesus today, the Holy Spirit goes into action! Being one that has been dipped into Christ through the new birth, I live by the power and authority of the all-encompassing Name of Jesus!

31 Days Of The Purpose & Power Of Writing

Study The Word

Three Principles of Creation: Writing, Faith, and the Name Of Jesus Christ.

Habakkuk 2:2 -3
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Ephesians 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

You know, there are three powerful principles that God uses, or that God used, to design, create and bring everything that you see into existence. When you study your Bible, you discover that everything that you see came into existence by these three principles!  It was through the application of acquired principles and means.  What are these three foundational principles?

Writing

Faith

The Name of Jesus Christ

These three! When you take these three and start to apply them to your life, you will become a master! You will become a wonder! Your life will become extraordinary. You will wonder, “Why didn’t I know this all this while? Why was I suffering like this, going through the most?” Haha!

Because you weren’t applying the keys! Jesus said, “unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom.” (Mark 4:11)  These keys—principles, as simple as they are—are what created everything and control everything! Let’s break these down as the spiritual principles that the Bible reveals them to be.

You may have never heard this before, but firstly, God designed and then created everything in writing first, which is referred to as The Word—logos. Writing is what the Apostle John in John 1 referred to as The Word—logos—when he said, “In the beginning was the Word—logos.”

He is referring to the Word in written form. Meaning, when you see “logos”—the Word—in your Bible, what it is referring to is “The Writing” or “The Written Word.” This is a special month; throughout the month, I will reveal all these things to you from the Bible. So, the Writing, or the Written Word, has to do with designing, establishing and creating. The writing could be in the form of symbols (the origin of all written language), drawings, or descriptions in modern-day language, from symbolisms and drawings to modern language. That is where everything started first—The Written Word—logos!

Creation wasn’t just a spontaneous “let there be” without a prior plan. How must it look? What must the sun be like? What is the design, the dimension, the materials involved? This was first in design and creation in written form. Writing is design in written form. Writing is creative ability and creativity expressed in written form.  They never taught you this in school; in fact they taught you that it is for communication, expression and writing exams, but the scriptures reveal and teach differently.  The scriptures are the written Words of God that reveal and define the Purpose & Power Of Writing, and the Lord asked me to show it you as He revealed and showed it to me.
Imagine, the bible reveals to us that writing was created by God.  The bible reveals to us that writing is spiritual; and that it existed and exists in heaven, and is an instrument and technology of God that originates from Him in the spirit first before it was given to man.

All this information is replete in scripture; and this month on The Word For Today I will share these powerful, eternal truths with you.  And you can begin to take advantage of them in your life.  “Forever…Your word is settled in heaven.“(Psalm 119:89) How is the word settled in heaven? It is settled in writing! So, before God does anything, He wants it to be put in writing because writing creates; writing designs. Then the second principle used by God in creation is faith, and if you’ve been following the teachings, you’d understand that according to the Word of God, faith is the spoken word.

Faith speaks. The worlds were framed by the spoken Word of God (Hebrews 11:3).

The written Word designs and creates the shape, the quality, how it must look, the experience, the feeling, and what must be in it. Now the speaking—the spoken Word—brings it into being; brings it into physical materiality. It transports you into the physical form and experience of what was written! So, the writing designs and creates, and the speaking materializes. This is the progression: there was the writing, and then there was the speaking, and then in the end, the materiality. This is how God brought everything you see into existence. After that, what’s needed is the authority and the dynamic power to produce: that comes from the Name of Jesus Christ.

All of this is given power and authority to become by the third principle: the Name of Jesus Christ. When you combine these three and start to apply them to your life, your life will change. Things in your life will start going in the right direction. If you stay with those things, your life will keep on going up and up! This will be the end of complaining, the end of victim mentality. You will know what to do! Oh, is there no job? “Okay, you’ll know what to do; you’ll create one.” No opportunities? “Okay, now you’ll know what to do; and you’ll create the opportunities,” using God’s principles and means.  This is the power of living by God’s creation principles!  You’ll be empowered to take steps and actions of divine precision and propel your life to the next and higher level of God’s destiny for your life.  In the month of August(or which ever month this reaches you by God’s Spirit), I will be showing you what the Word of God says about these principles and how they all work together; how God Himself used them, and how you can also employ them in your personal life; but I will be focusing on teaching on “The Purpose and Power of Writing.”

This Month Of August For 31 Days; The Word For Today – I Will Go Through A Devotional Series On One Of My Upcoming Books, “The Purpose And Power Of Writing: The Spirituality Of Writing”.

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Written Word – God’s Blueprint

Study The Word

Exodus 17:13 – 14
And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword.
14  And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this, a memorial in a book, and set it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heavens.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for revealing the immense power and purpose of writing and Your written Word, and for Your precise, detailed method of creation and kingdom governance established by Your divine principle of writing. I pray for open eyes and a discerning heart to understand the depth of Your written Word, and to grasp the power of it in order that I may take advantage of it to fulfill Your purpose in my life and in the lives of men.  Help me to diligently apply this divine principle in my own life, knowing that it is a law that works without fail, in name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I declare that I am a co-creator with God, using the powerful principle of writing! I understand that all things were designed by the written Word, and I will align my life and my creative endeavors with this divine pattern. My words, when meticulously written, carry the creative power of God’s logos, bringing His perfect design for my life into tangible reality!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Finger Of God

Study The Word

Deuteronomy 10:1 -4 NIV
At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark. 2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.” 3 So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiselled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. 4 The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. 5 Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.

In our opening verse, we get to see an amazing revelation of how The Lord Himself, who is a spirit being, insisted on writing by Himself. God is a spirit, and here we have revealed to us an account of the Supreme Spirit Being insisting on expressing and establishing His spiritual authority and law to govern man in the earth. This further reveals how writing is not a human invention but a gift that God gave to man as a principle of communication, transmission of creativity, expression, and establishment of dominion and rule. Also, this is something profoundly spiritual. Spirits work with writing.  Spirits express, establish, and are connected and or connect with each other through writing. Spirits and spiritual things and substances are also transmitted and transferred through writing. For example, right this moment, or if you have been following The Word For Today since we started, and even as you have been reading, we have been communicating and transmitting spiritual things through the medium of writing. And through reading and or just making contact with the spiritual things we communicate through the writings, spirit is transferred to you; you get it. We transmit spiritual virtue and substance through writing, such that whoever will take the time to read will receive something spiritual from the writings.

And when earlier this year while I was praying with my wife and the Spirit of God just said loudly to me, “Write the devotionals teaching the Word daily,” I cringed initially. I was praying about other things and enjoying time with the Lord and really wasn’t interested in having such a responsibility dropped on me out of the blue in that way. I said to my wife, “this is what the God said I must do;” and I wasn’t excited about it AT ALL.  I asked her to write it down and she did because that’s what we learned to do, because, yes, I understand the principle of writing as it was delivered to me from the Lord. I told my wife later that I will only start that devotional in 2026, haha! I just wanted to push it far away so that I don’t have to deal with it because I didn’t think I could do it. And then I wrestled with it for a few months, but the Lord just kept pressing me and wouldn’t let it go. Until he reminded me about how He taught me about the purpose and power of writing, and that’s all He needed to do to convince me to do it. And that’s because every great minister cannot fully walk with God unless they understand the purpose and power of writing in the establishment of God’s kingdom, and also if they are unwilling to write, God can only do so much with you. Preaching and talking to people about the divine things of God is good and amazing, but God cannot work with you to certain levels unless you develop the discipline to write. And that’s because spirits work with writing; God works with writing – Writing is spiritual.  Hey, I pray to God you get this!

Writing transfers unseen spiritual things and ideas into the tangible, physical world and controls not just spiritual things but physical things too. The Word, the logos, which is the written word, was in the spiritual world, in God’s mind, as a divine blueprint. And for it to be transferred from that invisible spirit world of God’s Throne into this three-dimensional, physical world that we inhabit, it is fundamentally transferred through writing. This is a spiritual truth, a technical process, a divine mechanism that effectively brings the unseen into the seen, the intangible into the tangible.

מכתּב  miktâb write  –  handwriting a thing written, characters, document, letter, copy, edict, writing

Look at this again – “The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.” It says “He wrote again.” Why was God insisting that the commandments be written AGAIN, after the first tablets had been destroyed by Moses? Why? It tells you the importance, the significance of writing. This is a spirit being insisting on writing. Think about it.

If you know and understand God, you’d know that He doesn’t do things for nothing, and when you see in scripture God insisting on something in this manner, you need to pay attention to that thing because it is extremely important. That’s the priority that God put on writing because He understood that IF IT IS NOT ESTABLISHED IN WRITING IN THE EARTH HIS KINGDOM WILL NOT WORK! Moses talking about it was not going to be enough because writing is a principle that spirits use to communicate, transfer, and establish spiritual laws, principles, and spiritual substance and things. Preaching it is great, but it must be written down if it’s going to work.

And that’s why Moses said in Deuteronomy 9:10, “And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.“

You will have someone say, “Shingi, my life problems are a lot deeper than that, I don’t think designing my life in writing in this way is going to work! I need the senior senior prophet of all the apostles to pray for me.“

Oh so, you are wiser than your Maker. Haha. Why don’t you cultivate the attitude of the Lord Jesus who said, “the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19) Imitate the Father, and see the kind of life you will begin to live. You will be amazed; the Word of God works. If you see written in the Word, do it; depend on it. But there are things that are in the Word that are more powerful than the things that are revealed to us that God Almighty does Himself. Those things never fail, and writing is one of them.

Think about it from a human perspective, mirroring God’s divine process: the magnificent thing that is conceived in your mind, nobody knows it. Nobody has seen it, and crucially, nobody can recreate it or experience it until you transfer it from your mind onto a paper, in writing. It’s like an architect who conceives a magnificent, towering building in their mind, visualizing every intricate detail. That building will never stand physically; it will never be built, until they meticulously draw up in writing the detailed plans and blueprints. The entire design, every column, every measurement, every material, must be clearly and precisely written down and defined on paper. Without that comprehensive plan in writing, the building will simply not be there. It remains an ethereal idea.

This principle is true for everything you interact with in this physical world. Nothing came into existence out of just nothing; it was designed in writing first. From the very house you’re living in, to the car you drive daily, to the clothes and shoes you wear, every physical item you use, every invention, every product was first a meticulously written design, a blueprint, a formula. Without that initial writing, it would simply not be there in its physical form. This is the undeniable law that governs the establishment and manifestation of spiritual things into the physical world.

Now, as a child of God, as you have seen how God Almighty uses this principle, you need to begin to apply this powerful spiritual principle directly to your own personal life. If the life you want to live, the future you envision for yourself, does not come through the same process – if you don’t take the time and discipline to write it down – you are, quite simply, not going to live it. You can have the most incredible desires, the most inspiring visions, and the most compelling dreams in your heart, but if there’s no clear plan, no detailed design of your life in writing, it will remain a mere desire, a fleeting thought. The only assured way to ensure you actually live and experience your desired life is to actively design and put your mind down in writing.

This is precisely how successful people live. They know, understand, and apply this principle because they’ve seen its efficacy. They know they have to do it to get the desired result. Don’t be like the majority who just live day to day, reacting to circumstances, without a clear, written plan or direction. You take the initiative, you push yourself to write, and you will undeniably see the results, because writing is the divinely established vehicle for transferring the spiritual into the physical realm. It guarantees that what is in your heart and mind moves into your reality.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the profound principle of writing as a powerful means to transfer spiritual realities and divine ideas into the physical realm. I pray for the grace, wisdom, and discipline to consistently write down my visions, my goals, and my desires, knowing that this is how You designed creation to manifest. Strengthen me to diligently apply this principle daily.

Speak The Word
I declare that my meticulously written plans are powerfully bringing spiritual realities into physical manifestation! I am a co-creator with God, actively using the power of writing to transfer my dreams, my visions, and my divine desires from the unseen into the seen. My life is becoming a living testament to the undeniable power of written design, and I am seeing my desires come to pass!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Jesus The Master of Principles

Study The Word
Habakkuk 2:2 – 3
Then the Lord answered me and said, “Write the vision,  And engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets
So that the one who reads it will run.  3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time
It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail.  Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it,
Because it will certainly come; it will not delay.

You know, I actually like problems and challenges! Hehe!  Why? Because I’ve been equipped with the divine tools; I’ve been given the supernatural equipment to always, without fail, come out with a triumphant testimony! No matter what! I will always come out on top.  No matter what happens, or comes my way.  It doesn’t matter how bad things look, I know that because of the Word of God that is in my system I will always win; I can never lose.
Listen, Jesus didn’t care what circumstances arose, He didn’t fret over what happened to Him because He knew with absolute certainty that whatever challenge presented itself, He possessed the divine solution. He wasn’t relying on chance or hoping for a miracle; He was operating from a position of unwavering authority and understanding.

For a long time, I used to wonder, “How did Jesus always know what to do? How did He always know exactly how to respond to every situation, every question, every demand?” Yes, undeniably, He always knew what to do because, yes, He is the Son of God, He is the very Word of God incarnate, He was God in the flesh. But over and above that profound truth, what deeper understanding did He possess? I discovered, through diligent study of His life, that He understood the principles that control everything! So no matter what happened, no matter the complexity or severity of the problem, He would consistently respond with the divine principles, and inevitably, things would change! Circumstances would bend to His will, diseases would flee, storms would cease.

When you meticulously study the life and ministry of Jesus, you’ll observe this consistent pattern: every time something was required, every time a need arose, He decisively made it happen. It wasn’t, “Father, please help us because the winds and the waves are raging,” or “Father, please change our problems we’re going through.” No! Jesus was actively, consciously applying principles! He was demonstrating how you, too, are to apply principles like God. You don’t just sit and wait; you actively do things; you make things happen! When a challenging situation presented itself, He was the one to initiate and make the changes that were required. What an attitude, what an example!  You see? I teach and I’m passionate about getting this information to as many people, these profound truths, these divine principles, so that as many of God’s children can know how to consistently make things happen for themselves. You won’t be perpetually crying to God every day for intervention; or waiting and hoping some man of God from somewhere will make a miracle happen for you. God is saying, “No, no, no, no!  That’s not My Will for you.”

See, now, you are the one that is to make things happen. You are the one that is in charge of your life. That’s precisely where God wants you to be. God wants you to proactively create the best life for yourself and to wholeheartedly enjoy that life of abundance and dominion! Be just like Jesus.

It’s not mere human intelligence that controls everything.  It’s not the highest IQ or the most extensive education. No. It’s the deep understanding and consistent application of divine principles that makes you a success, living a fulfilled life. These keys—Writing, Faith, and utilizing the power of the name of Jesus Christ—as simple as they may seem to the natural mind, this is what controls everything! Jesus operated by these principles, not just by His inherent divinity, but as a perfect example for us.  And so, you can, too! He wasn’t just miraculously fixing things without understanding; He was demonstrating the precise principles by which the Kingdom of God operates in the earth. When you grasp this profound truth, when you make it a part of your daily walk, you will never be a victim in life! You will always, without fail, come out with a triumphant testimony because you possess the divine tools!

So, I implore you to just trust the Word of God for your life. You will not regret it. I understand that writing was introduced to you to probably write exams and fill out forms, but that’s the lowest use and purpose for writing. The people who truly understand the purpose and power of writing will generally not disclose it to the next person. But we are here to give you the keys, showing you from God’s Word that writing has a greater purpose than what they taught you in school. I, too, was not aware of the purpose and power of writing and wasn’t sure of how it’d work, if it did. But I trusted the Word of God and as mundane and unspectacular as it was, I introduced it as a principle of life, and oh boy! I cannot tell you the number of testimonies that I have witnessed and experienced from this.

So, give the Word that we teach a try, with determination; give yourself to these principles consistently for a couple of months. You will experience the power, you will surely come back with a testimony. Get a diary, start writing, designing the life that you want to live in the first person. Better yet, the prophecies that you have received from the Spirit, the visions that He has given you, the divine ideas. No matter how impossible or far-fetched they seem to be. In fact, the more impossible they seem, the better; that way, when the power of these principles delivers, you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Word of God works. It’s a knowledge I sometimes wish I could just give to people for free. So, stop watching life happen to you; design the life that you know you should live, write it down. Design it; as you do, you are creating it just like God your Father, and you will, without fail, get the results that the Father gets because you will have started operating like Him.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You wholeheartedly for Jesus, who perfectly demonstrated the flawless application of Your divine principles during His earthly ministry. I receive today, with an open heart and spirit, the deep understanding and divine wisdom to operate consistently by these eternal principles in every single area of my life. I declare with unwavering faith that I am divinely equipped and empowered to make things happen, to create solutions where there seem to be none, and to live a life of continuous, undeniable testimony, just as Jesus perfectly did, all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am a master of principles, just like my Lord Jesus Christ! I declare that I make things happen in my life; I do not passively wait for things to happen to me. I possess the divine tools to overcome every challenge, every obstacle, and I will always, always come out with a triumphant testimony. I am unequivocally in charge of my life, empowered by divine principles, and I manifest God’s glory in every step I take!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Writing Is Creativity Expressed

Study The Word

John 1:1 -3
 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2  The same was in the beginning with God.  3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

We’ve established that the “Word” in John 1:1 is logos, which verse 45 revealed to be the Written Word. Now, let’s connect this profound truth to the very act of creation described in Genesis. John 1:3 says, “All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.” When you meticulously study this expression, “all things were made by the Word,” it’s talking about the Written Word. What this is powerfully telling you is that all things were created and designed by God through writing.

God didn’t just speak things into existence without a pre-conceived, detailed plan; He designed the world in writing first. There was a design, an imagining process, a comprehensive blueprint of what things should be like, and that detailed design was meticulously expressed in writing. The act of creation itself, the bringing forth of existence, involved this writing. When God’s infinite imagination, His boundless creative ability, began to express what He wanted to do in writing, that’s precisely how the Word in John chapter one made all things – it was designed and brought forth into existence in writing first before it was spoken. He had the perfect image in His mind of what the world must be like, but then He had to express that image outwardly, in a tangible form; that is when the principle of writing got employed.  Logos is God’s creative ability and His imaginative designs expressed in written form.  This ability is what makes God – God; it’s what puts Him in the class where He can create something out of nothing.

And as a child of God, being born again you have been brought into that God-class of beings where you with the same ability can create something out of nothing.  They said “look at your life, it’s nothing, look at you, you’re nothing;” don’t worry, don’t cry. Just go behind closed doors and begin to design, begin to create, writing, redesigning your life; recreating your life in writing from nothing into something, from nothing into glory and beauty!  Put it to work; and when you’re done begin to walk up and down in your room reading it out to yourself, rehearse it to yourself; that’s the next level of the principle as we saw from Exodus 17:14 where God said “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua:”.  So you start rehearsing your new life to yourself in your room; rehearse your new self to yourself.  Redesign your new self, recreate and rewrite the new story of your life! Glory to God!  When you’ve started this don’t stop; continue with it. Stick with it everyday.

 שׂים שׂוּם  śûm śı̂ym rehearse  –  rehearse, place upon, set upon, appoint to

They said “there’s no job, or they said there’s no client’s”; everywhere you go and everywhere you tune in they say “there’s shortage”.  Stop repeating that and rehearsing shortage and lack in your life.  Reject it and say “not for me!”  And then you go to your diary where you redesigned your life and you begin to rehearse your glorious life and you read it out “I’m gainfully employed for my profession with complete job satisfaction”; or “customers and new clients are locating my business for gainful contracts! I only experience abundance, I only experience prosperity in my life, I only experience abundance and success all the days of my life!”
Make sure you put as much details as possible so that you can begin to see the pictures of your new life.  Add images to help your mind create the vision of this new life if you need to.  But make sure that everyday you take the time to have a rehearsal.

Man has been using this principle unawares; but the majority of people have never been educated on the purpose and power of it as an instrument of curating their lives to what they want it to be.  The most of what they’ve been taught is that the purpose of writing is for literacy; until you discover the purpose and power of it from God.  Think about it, anything around you in the physical world right now, the chair you’re sitting on, the building you’re in, the clothes you’re wearing, your favorite car, even the phone or computer you’re using — none of it just appeared spontaneously.  Before any of it could exist physically, someone had to draw the design, meticulously detailing every curve, every joint, every measurement in writing. Every column for a building, every structural element, had to be on a comprehensive plan in writing. Without that written plan, that blueprint, the building would simply not be there. The jacket you’re wearing was first conceived in someone’s mind, but to bring it into existence, to make it a physical garment, they had to write the design: its length, its color, the specific materials, the precise zip placement, and all the necessary measurements.

Everything you interact with in this world, everything that is tangible, came through this precise process. Nothing came out of just nothing. It was designed in writing first before it came into existence.  This is God’s divine pattern for creation, a foundational spiritual law, and it’s how you, created in His image and likeness, can activate your own creative ability and bring your plans, visions and dreams of a better life into reality. This principle works without fail, and anyone who puts it to work will get a result. Don’t wait, start today.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the powerful and profound principle of creative design through writing, mirroring Your own method of creation. I pray for the discipline, inspiration, and meticulous attention to detail to translate my thoughts, visions, and desires into written plans, just as You designed the entire world through the written Word. Let my writing be a spiritual act of co-creation with You in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
I declare that I am a designer of my life, aligning myself with God’s creative pattern! I will diligently write down my visions, my plans, and my desires, bringing what is in my mind into physical manifestation. My written words activate my creative ability and channel divine power, and I will see my dreams, aspirations, and God-given purposes come into tangible, glorious existence!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Divine Transfer from Spirit to Physical Actualization

Study The Word

Habakkuk 2:1 – 4
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.  2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.  4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

The power and purpose of writing as defined in God’s Word is knowledge that will truly revolutionize your approach to life. In your understanding of this principle, God wants you to know that the very way you can now bring those things out from inside you—those divine desires, those inspired ideas God has strategically placed in your heart, those solutions He’s deposited within your spirit—and to make them tangibly real in this physical world is, first and foremost: you have to write it down.

If you want to walk in the actualization of those things that God has revealed to you, and in those things that He has said to you; or the prophetic word He gave you then writing it down is not just a suggestion; it’s a divine imperative! Because the act of writing transfers it and makes it real! It transfers those things which are spiritual from their origin in the spirit realm into the physical realm. Suddenly, that divine idea, or prophetic vision or word is now a physical document in the physical world. Did you catch that? Oh goodness! So that which was unseen, existing in the unseen spirit realm is now visible because you’ve penned it down. Some of you are going to have to read this again several times in order for your spirit to fully grasp it. Because most of us, myself included, have been so familiar and desensitized to what is actually transpiring when this is happening because with the educational system we grew up with, writing was modeled to us as a tool of literacy and nothing more. So you now have to renew your mind and relearn the power and purpose of writing as revealed to us by the Word of God. So please do go through this again and again, until your mind is renewed. Go through the scriptures repeatedly.

כּתב kâthab write – to write, record, inscribe, engrave, write in, prescribe, write on, write down, describe in writing

Let’s go back to it again: to think that something spiritual – a vision, a thought, an image, a design that is only seen by you in your heart or in your mind is not seen or known by anyone else until you transfer it from that spirit realm like as from nothingness into the physical when you put it on paper; and then suddenly everyone that is around you that couldn’t see what you were seeing now receives the same vision and picture transferred into their heart and mind; and all this is accomplished through the power of writing. This is what God was trying to teach Habakkuk in our opening scripture when He said it’s a vision that I have shown you in the spirit realm now transfer it into the physical through writing – and when someone else who is in the physical can be able to read it – the Hebrew word means “rehearse it”. And then He says the moment it is transferred into the physical world and begins to be rehearsed it will only be a matter of time, hey yaaa!! There’ll be an appointed time; it will tarry but it will surely come, glory to God! There’s no better teaching on this subject in the scriptures than this. Wow.

So, the first step, the foundational step, is to design your life; rewrite your life, write that prophetic word, create for yourself by inspiration of God a plan for your life as described in the Word of God; or that business idea, that product, whatever it is that you want to see in your life, in your family, in your career you know what it is – write it. Describe it, design it in writing. Or, is it a goal, a target – you say “this is what you’re going to accomplish in the next month, in the next week, in the next 6 months, in the next 3 months”—create it in writing; absolutely everything meticulously planned out, in writing!

חזון châzôn vision – vision, vision in the day, vision in the night, oracle, divine communication, prophecy

And when you plan, child of God, don’t make it small. Don’t limit God’s expansive vision with your finite understanding. Make it the way you truly want it, the way God, in His infinite generosity, has put it in your heart, hahaa! Put it down on paper like that, with audacious faith!  Habakkuk 2:3 says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry”.  He says the very moment you put it down on the paper, it’s ready! Now, His instruction is clear: prepare for it to happen! How? You rehearse it, you read it out, over and over, every day. That’s what He’s telling you: align yourself, prepare your heart, prepare your mind, condition your system for it because it will surely come to pass!

בּאר   bâ’ar  make it plain – to make plain, make clear, letter it on a tablet, engrave, explain, declare, write it plainly

Don’t burden yourself with worrying about how it’s going to happen. Don’t ask how – you just do your part, follow the instruction and just witness The Purpose & Power Of Writing work. If you decide to not believe and you say “Shingi, it’s not that simple – what do you think this is?” He says in Habakkuk 2:4 “…Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” He says your heart is filled with pride in that you’re calling the Word of God a liar. He says your heart is not upright; but the upright those that with meekness receive the Word and apply it, those are the upright, he says – “…the just shall live by his faith.” What do you mean “by his faith?” It means the application of the principle of this Word transcends your faith; you are no longer operating in your faith but you are now operating like God in applying “His faith” – God’s faith, glory to God!
This is the faith of God in operation. You get it. The power of it is working in accordance with the principle power of God’s faith!
So, God has given you a clear, simple instruction: “This is how this works. This is the divine principle.” But then if you’re full of pride in your soul, if your natural mind is resistant, you’ll immediately respond and calculate with human reasoning: “But God, do You know the multitude of problems that I have? Do You know the insurmountable challenges that I’m currently facing?”.  And then you’ll question the Word of God countering it saying, “You’re telling me that I must simply write this down?”.  Yes! Haha!  The Bible is saying that all this that you’re now doing, my friend, is pride! Pride is when God, in His infinite wisdom, says do something, and your natural mind rebels, saying, “No, I’m going to do something else. This is how I’m going to fix my problem.”  You see, your mind has been bruised by hardship to the point you think that it is by hardship that your challenges will be solved.
But then there’s another group whom the Word of God calls the just – He says those ones live by “His” faith.
This is the true SPIRIT OF FAITH.
Now 2 Corinthians 4:13 will finally make sense to you when you will look at it now as it says- “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written“, according as it is written, according as it is written! You get it!
It begins with writing, not the speaking. The speaking comes after! And then it says “…I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.”  You see how consistent the order of this principle is in scripture? Absolutely incredible; you cannot make this up.

קרא qârâ’ read – pronounce, publish, read out, recall, call out, recite, cry out, proclaim, to call, preach

God, in His perfect wisdom, says, “No, what you need to do is write it and then, rehearse it and don’t worry about the rest.”  But if you’re full of pride, you’ll be like, “No, it’s too simple. It doesn’t work like that. I must do something else. I need somebody to prophesy over me. I need somebody to pray a breakthrough prayer for me.” He just says, “Write it down.” Simple, but yet profoundly powerful an instruction!

So what are you going to do? That thing you desire to see manifest in your life, that vision God has placed in your heart, write it down. Put it somewhere prominent where you can see it constantly, on the wall in your room, clearly written down. Declare, “I own a thriving business. I run a successful shop. I have my own beautiful home. I live in this house, I’m fulfilling the vision of my ministry, the prophecy of my calling”. Whatever it is, detail it; design it, create it in writing, design it in writing-just like God your Father. Write it down. Better yet, if you can, put pictures there. Some people call them “vision boards,” and they are also powerful tools. Whatever you require to help you see the design, the picture of your recreated life. Maybe you haven’t been feeling well, and you maybe can’t walk or run or whatever it is that the doctor said you couldn’t do – write it down “I will walk, I will run, I will jump”. And then start to rehearse it as you read it out, until in your heart you see yourself! And when you see it, hold it and come back to it the next day, and keep doing it.

פּוּח pûach speak – breathe, come to life, animate, cause to exhale

Afterward, don’t worry about the timing, don’t fret about the actualization; just focus on doing this Word. It’s just a matter of time. Why? Because you have, by the act of writing, transferred it from your spirit. You have deliberately brought it into the physical world! You have created like God! That’s precisely why it works! It works because God Himself is the first one to do it, and He instituted it as an eternal principle for you, His child, to follow. Don’t worry, “How is it going to work?” Just do it! Just design, just write, just create! God told Moses to write it down. I will also show how He also told the prophets to write it down as we have also seen with the prophet Habakkuk. Everything had to be written first, before they could go and tell the people! Why? Because when you write it, you literally transfer it from the spirit into the physical world!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the profound spiritual principle of writing that divinely transfers the spiritual into the physical. I choose today, with all humility, to put aside all pride and choose to apply Your simple, yet powerful, instruction to design, create and recreate with Your creative power of writing. Thank You Father that as I write I’m conscious, that I am actively transferring the dreams, desires and Your divine purposes from my spirit into the physical world, literally creating my life by the power of Your divine wisdom, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I write my vision; I redesign and recreate my life and my world just like God my Father; and I write my new life into existence today! What I meticulously put on paper, the principle of the faith of God Himself is enacted to bring it to pass.  I transfer spiritual realities into my physical world through the undeniable power of writing. I am a joint-creator with God, just like my Father, the purpose and power of my writing is my blueprint for designing my divine destiny and divine purpose and life!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Designing Your Destiny

Study The Word

Esther 8:8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.

They taught us how to write in school, right? How to form letters, how to construct sentences, how to put paragraphs together. But what they didn’t teach us—what the world often overlooks—is the spirituality of writing.  As study your bible carefully you will discover that writing actually is spiritual.  It is a tool that God-The Creator Himself actually uses. And you know that everything that God does is eternal, and is eternally established as spiritual law.  They will not teach you this at school; only the Spirit of God can teach you this through the scriptures.

When you come to Christ, when you truly commit to spiritual growth, when you immerse yourself in the teachings from the Word of God, you are supposed to be awakened by the Spirit of God about the spirituality of writing and how you can actively use this divine principle to powerfully upgrade your life. What is your destiny? What is your future going to be like?

Do you know that God has given us these keys, these principles in the Word, so that we can use them to design our destiny? Don’t ever listen to those who say, “Whatever will be will be.” No. Or some will say, “If it is mine, God will bring it to me,” or “If it is mine, it will come to me.” Listen, if you are like this, I will tell you: nothing is coming to you. Brother, sister, whatever will be is not going to be; but whatever will be is what you decide it is going to be! Don’t let the devil deceive you with that nonsense. If it is yours, you better do something about it, otherwise, it’s not coming. You are the one who is going to make this happen. You are the one who is going to design your own destiny. You better do it, otherwise, there are some not-so-nice people who are busy using this very same principle of writing to create a not-so-nice world for you to live in, that only benefits them. So you better wake up to this. All it takes is for someone to sign a document at your work, and with that document, your life will change. So take charge of your destiny! The Word of God has given you the tools to put your life over, or else you will be a victim—a victim of the written documents of others. So wake up! Take charge of your destiny with the Word of God.

So, what exactly does writing do for you, as a child of God? As a child of God, you must have a meticulously crafted plan for your life. You must! Set clear, compelling goals for where your life is unequivocally going. Writing is there for a divine purpose: to transfer the spiritual into the natural, to create, to design, and to establish. To meticulously design your life! What do you want your life to be like in vivid detail? What do you want to experience, achieve, and possess from your life in the next month, in the next three months, in the next year, two years, three years, five years, even ten years? What do you want to tangibly actualize in your life? If you do not have that clear, written plan, if you do not have the plan meticulously detailed out, nothing is going to happen! You absolutely need a life plan. And in that life plan, there are specific things that you want to see, specific achievements you want to accomplish.

Consider this profound truth: God Himself, the Almighty Creator, designed everything in writing first! The writing was the very act of creation; it was the divine design blueprint. That is where everything started first, in the spirit—the unseen realm of spiritual writing. He didn’t just spontaneously say, “Let there be…” without a prior, transcribed, detailed plan and blueprint. No. He had to plan everything: How must the cosmos look? What must the sun be like in its function? “Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven,” Psalm 119:89 declares. How is the Word settled in heaven? It is established in writing! The Bible reveals to us that there are books in heaven; it shows us how God, who is a Spirit—the Supreme Spirit Being—operates and does things with books. Everything is detailed in books. The Bible tells us how there are angels who manage registers.

All this information is revealed to us from the Word of God to show us that writing is spiritual and exists in eternity with God Almighty before it got transferred to man.

So, we also see in the Word that before God does anything, even before He brings anything into physical manifestation, He wants it to be designed and expressed in writing first. It must be put in writing because the writing creates; the writing designs and also the writing transfers from the unseen to the seen. And now you, as a divine offspring of God, are also called to create your life in the way that your heavenly Father does: with writing.

You are the one who is to design your life! And if you don’t do this, trust me, there are other people in the world who are designing what you will be and do in their own life story, and you could be a victim of that if you do not actively participate. There are even people in governments who are busy writing documents that are going to be weaponized against your life so that you are forced to live in a certain way. Don’t wait for that; your life has been dictated by the writings of others for too long. Wake up and take charge. God wants you to proactively design the life you want to live. Don’t sit passively waiting for the government or other people to plan for you! Take charge! Plan your own life, by divine design!

And then the next thing you’ll do with your meticulously curated life is the third part of this, which is the name of Jesus Christ. This is what our opening scripture is referring to: authorizing the writing with the king’s seal. Kayaa!

It says, “Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.” When you seal it with the name of Jesus Christ, no man may reverse it. It’s over. That’s what the Lord Jesus Christ was talking about in His master class on the working of miracles when He said in John 14:14, “…if you shall ask any thing in my name I will do it!”

So from writing, you’ll take the writing and then you move to rehearsal, and then together with the rehearsal, you’ll add the authority and power of the seal of the King, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to enforce it. Yes! That design of your destiny you created in writing is now “the writing that is written in the name of the King.” You add the name of Jesus Christ to power up and provide the authority of the King, and that power and authority to produce what you have designed can no man stop! That’s why the Bible says God created the Word by the name of Jesus Christ, glory to God. It says it is by Jesus Christ that all things were created; and that means that it is by the authority and power of the name of Jesus Christ that God created all things, visible and invisible. And He gave you the right to use the name the same. So what are you waiting for? Haha!

In the upcoming days, I will show you how to use the name of Jesus to effect and to empower your curated destiny with the power and authority of God.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for powerfully revealing the spirituality of writing as a profound key to designing my destiny. I commit today, with unwavering resolve, to diligently writing down my vision, my goals, and my meticulous plans for my life, knowing with certainty that this is precisely how You operate and how success is ultimately manifested. Empower me with divine wisdom and diligence, to meticulously design my future according to Your perfect, glorious will, all in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I design my life through the powerful spiritual principle of writing! I possess a clear, compelling plan, and I declare that I write my vision down, making it plain and undeniable. I am not passively waiting for others to plan for me, for I am a creator, a designer of my destiny, actively designing my life by the spiritual principle of writing, precisely as God Himself designed all of creation! My written word is my blueprint for divine manifestation!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Discipline Of Practicing The Word

Study The Word

Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

These spiritual principles of writing, faith, and the Name of Jesus are defined steps—precise, practical instructions that you must actively do. It’s not enough to just know about them or understand them intellectually. You literally have to say, “Okay, now this is what I’m going to do,” and then execute. And after you’ve diligently done that first step, you move to the next step, and then the next, consistently.

When you embark on this journey, you must be aware that these are not one-time applications; these are things that you must practice daily until you get the result. Having worked in ministry, serving many people, I’d ask them if they had applied the Word I’d shared with them to help with their challenge. Some would say yes, but what they meant was that they had done it for two days, or maybe a week. Because they didn’t understand that they had to consistently put that Word into practice over and over again—and also because most of the “doing” of God’s Word doesn’t feel spectacular—they’d stop. They didn’t understand that you have to press with discipline. You have to come back daily, show up daily, when you feel like it and when you don’t feel like it, and press consistently in applying that principle until the results show up. Stick with it, don’t stop, and don’t wonder if it’s working; yes, it is working as long as you’re consistently doing it.

הגה  hâgâh  meditate  –  growl, murmur, utter, roar

Now, in light of the principles that I’ve been teaching from when we started with this series; I want you to look at our opening scripture again.  If I’ve done a good job at teaching thus far, then your previous understanding of the portion of scripture should be upgraded.  Let’s break it down quickly; firstly God is talking to Joshua and He says “there’s this book.”  In other words “you need this book.”  So God has a book written, about the things that He wanted to come to pass in the lives of the children of Israel, how about you? I showed you how God Himself even insisted on writing the second copy by Himself.  So, where is your book written about the things that you want to see come to pass in your personal life?  Lets continue, so God says to Joshua “Moses is gone now, he won’t be able to rehearse in your ears what’s in this book (Exodus 17:14) anymore; so now you have to do it yourself.”

That’s secondly: meaning, this principle is going to work with your mouth, OK.  In your mouth to do what? To speak! Kayaa!  You see, the Hebrew word translated meditate doesn’t mean meditate in the sense of the meaning of the word meditate; but the Hebrew word is Hagah, which means to growl and murmur like a lion. My goodness. He is saying there must be emissions of these sounds from your mouth, like a lion that’s growling, murmuring as it is focused on its prey, but they’re sounds of growling that can be heard externally. (Isaiah 31:4)  You see why they translated it meditate.  But meditate is another Hebrew word that speaks of pondering, musing, that happens internally, but both Hebrew words are similar in that they share the same root word.  So hâgâh has outward expression and hâgı̂yg is of internal contemplation.

הגיג  hâgı̂yg  meditate  – muse, ponder, think, meditate

And then thirdly, in light of what we’ve been discussing, He says what is it that you’ll be growling on releasing sounds with you mouth? He says, “all that is written therein.” You see that? This is God Almighty Himself now teaching Joshua how to work with the principle of writing so that it works. There’s a lot at stake here, its been 40 years now.  He has to do this if he is to enter into the promise land.  You see how God employed these principles. How He emphasized on them everytime, why? Because it works.  And because that’s the only way God knows it is going to work.  So with you, and in your own life you are going to employ the same like your Heavenly Father, as you do what you see with God your Father. 

Fourthly, which is the one I want to focus on today, he says “day and night“.  That’s talking of discipline, routine and consistency.

What am I telling you today? What I’m telling you as we see from the Word is that the only way you can ensure that it’s working and that it does work is if you do it until it works. That’s the mindset and mental toughness that you need to build. You say, “I’m going to do this Word for as long as I have to until it works! I won’t stop until I get the results!” You come back to it repeatedly; you do the same thing; you practice it. You keep putting it to work consistently. It’s a continuous, deliberate process of application, like an athlete practicing their stamina or a musician refining their skill every day.

There were people who’d come for counseling over the years, and I shared this with them. They’d have the discipline to put these principles to work to deal with their challenge, and oh boy, the testimonies, the results they’d come back with! My goodness! I myself would have to compose myself because I’d be shocked at the result. Haha!

I remember a young man they sent over to me who was sleeping on the streets—no job, no money, only the clothes on his back. I looked at the young gentleman, and from the human point of view, there was no hope. But then I said to myself, “Shingi, you’ve got the Word!” Hey, I’ve got the Word, nothing is hopeless because I’ve got the Word!

I said to him, “I’m going to teach you something, but you have to commit to it until the end, in order for things to change.” He agreed, and I taught him this principle. True to his commitment, he kept showing up, practicing the Word.  And one Friday afternoon, he came to see me at the church office and said, “I’ve got a job interview in Hermanus,” and he needed some bus fare to get from Cape Town to Hermanus. We got that sorted out, and he was on his way. About two weeks later, I received some pictures of the young man at the airport that he sent to my phone. I said, “Patrick, where are you going, what’s going on?” He said, “Sir, I wanted to thank you for teaching me the Word. I got the job in Hermanus, they trained me to make Italian pizza, and now they’re sending me to go train the staff of the new restaurant in Dubai! On my way, I’ll keep you updated.”

When he was in Dubai, he’d send me photo updates of the resort and restaurant he was staying at, hehe! Hey! From being homeless on the streets to catching flights across the globe! After just a few weeks of putting this to work. A few months later, he’d come back and tell me all about it, and he’s been working there in Hermanus ever since, glory to God! This is just one, there are many. Just imagine in a few weeks, a young man’s destiny went from being a street guy to, with a few weeks of applying the Word, catching flights and now being a restaurant manager. That’s something only the Word of God can do for you. A classic case of 1 Samuel 2:8: “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.”

Your situation isn’t even as hopeless-looking as this guy’s did. So what are you going to do? You are going to have to be disciplined with this thing, do it until it produces the results; don’t stop until it works! That’s the key. Like I’ve told you before, the reason why this works is simply because God Himself uses them. He employs the same principles; they were established by God and form the very fabric of His operations. We see throughout the Bible that God Himself put these principles into practice, and they worked without fail. Like the story of the young man Joshua in our opening scripture; you know the rest of that success story-after 40 years they entered the promise land.  And so these principles will not fail for you either.

If you truly master these things—if you learn them thoroughly, understand them deeply, and then begin practicing them diligently, putting them to work in every area of your life—your life will transform so dramatically that people won’t recognize you. It was a matter of weeks and Patrick was unrecognizable; the before and after was drastic and dramatic. That’s how God does it, all the time. And the most exciting part? It won’t take long for the transformation to begin! The key, the non-negotiable factor, is consistent, active application. It’s not about just hearing the Word, or even just agreeing with it intellectually, but becoming a diligent doer of the Word.

You have to actively engage with these principles, put them into motion, and consistently apply them to your daily life. This consistent, deliberate practice is what makes them effective, what causes them to yield undeniable, tangible results. Don’t just intellectualize; no, mobilize! Practice, practice, practice! And stick with it until it works.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for revealing the critical importance of consistent practice in applying Your powerful spiritual principles. I pray for an increased grace for divine discipline, unwavering commitment, and unceasing consistency to put writing, faith, and the Name of Jesus into active, daily, and effective practice in every area of my life, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I am a diligent practitioner of God’s unchanging Word! I do not just hear; I do. I actively and consistently put spiritual principles to work in my life, knowing that unwavering, consistent practice guarantees undeniable results and supernaturally transforms my reality and circumstances! My spiritual senses are continually being exercised daily by reason of use, glory to God!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Activating Your Creative Ability

Study The Word

Jeremiah 30:1 – 3

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,  2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.  3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Child of God, you need to understand and accept the truth and reality that we are created in the image and likeness of Almighty God. This profound truth means we possess the inherent capacity to do the same things He did when He created the world. Even more importantly, He expects us to do the same thing! This is the core of the very essence of the spirituality of writing and why it produces results for us. So, it is imperative that you participate in the principles we are sharing in this series. You have to create and design your life in the same meticulous way that God designed the universe.

Writing is not just transcription for literacy’s sake; writing is the direct expression of your divine creative ability. When you pick up a pen and put thoughts to paper, you are actively activating your creative ability, and your creative ability is directly linked to your imaginative ability. This means your ability to imagine and envision is activated and expressed outwardly through your active engagement with writing. That’s precisely how you create; that is how you practically activate your ability to create. You now have the same ability to do it exactly like God does. What God did when He created the whole world becomes a fundamental principle, a spiritual law that works without fail, that you use to beautify your life. Anyone who puts it to work will inevitably get a result. So, do not just continue to go on day by day, taking everything as it comes. That is not the kind of life God gave you to live. Your life is different; you are called to function like God.

Think about it logically: anything that exists physically in this world first existed in someone’s mind. It started as an idea, a concept, an image. But if it stays only in the mind, nobody knows it, nobody has seen it, nobody can recreate it, and it will never materialize. You can have the most beautiful, groundbreaking car design in your mind, but if you keep it there, confined to your thoughts, you will never experience it, it will never be manufactured, and it will never be driven. It will never be made until you take a pen and paper and start to draw it, detail by meticulous detail. That’s how you transfer it from the invisible realm of your mind onto the tangible realm of paper.

And when you intentionally begin to practice this principle with the intent to exercise and harness the power and purpose of writing, everything that has to do with you creating will begin to come together day by day. This is no longer you just writing to fill out a questionnaire; this is you now consciously unleashing the power and creative force of writing in the capacity and purpose realms that God uses writing for. This is a different level of writing.

This is writing with divine purpose, unleashing divine power; it is spiritual writing that unleashes supernatural power and ability. And what you need to do going forward is to tap in and begin to practice this form of writing consciously. I know you’ve been writing for most of your life, but that was for a different, lesser use and purpose. This time, it’s going to be for divine purpose, unleashing divine creative power; and so now you can expect supernatural results.

Without this deliberate, elevated purpose and process of writing to express and unleash your creative ability like God for the life you want to live and the purpose God wants you to fulfill, you are simply not going to live it. If you want to ensure you actually live and experience the desires of your heart and the vision, calling, and purposeful, successful life that God has given you, you must start immediately creating at this level. Design and activate this divine power that is in you by writing. It might sound foolish to some, even to you; it might even feel cumbersome or unnecessary in the moment, but I urge you, just do it. And once you’ve written it, don’t lose that writing. Keep it somewhere safe and accessible.

Every single day, when you wake up, you need to know exactly where you are going. You need to know the plan, the vision, the precise direction for your life. And you begin to rehearse it—rehearse it to yourself day and night. Your life cannot simply go by without you actively working toward that detailed plan you’ve meticulously created, transferred from the creative realm into written form. This is even how you know you’re making tangible progress as time goes by; that’s how your life actually changes and transforms. I’ve been practicing this so much that sometimes I lose track of some of the things I created for my life using this principle, such that as things unravel and begin to come to pass, it’s like I experience these déjà vu moments and I’m like, “Wait a minute.” I go over all my writings and I’m like, “Aaaah, this is where I know this from, haha.” If you’re just living day to day, with no design direction, just seeing what today brings, trust me, nothing significant is going to happen. You must have this created design of your life in writing. This unwavering clarity, this detailed blueprint, is the absolute beginning of your life of purposeful success.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for entrusting me with Your divine creative ability and for revealing this powerful spiritual principle of writing. I pray for the wisdom, discipline, and consistent inspiration to express this divine ability to write and create glorious things not only for my benefit, but for the benefit of Your kingdom and also the blessing of man.  Thank you Father for this increase in grace of this knowledge of how to activate my imagination and unleashing my creative power in accordance and in alignment with Your Word, in Jesus name.

Speak The Word
I do not neglect the divine creative ability that God has entrusted me with. I activate my creative ability and channel my life towards my divine destiny and purpose in Christ Jesus. I will not live a life without direction; I am designing my life with divine purpose, precision, and clarity, seeing it manifest day by day as it blesses me and everyone in the world around me!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Faith Works With Writing

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

You’ve heard a lot of powerful things over the past couple of days about the purpose and power of writing. Now, once you’ve meticulously written down the plan of your life—once you’ve designed your future with pen and paper—the natural, pressing question arises: How do you actually get to that plan? How do you move from the blueprint to the actualization of what you’ve created through writing?

The Word of God tells us, unequivocally, that it’s going to happen through faith! (Hebrews 11:3) “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

So what, then, does that truly mean in practical terms? It means this next phase of your life that you have created and designed in writing—whether it’s in your personal life, your career, or your business—this meticulously crafted plan, is not just meant to sit there, a silent document on a shelf. Now you need to move to the next level principle, which is faith, where you must speak it! You give it a voice! That’s how things fundamentally change. If you don’t do that, you can pray and pray with all your might, you can even add fasting to your prayers, but very little is going to change.

This is precisely how it changes: there have been so many good definitions of faith over the years, but when we look at how the Bible defines faith, we undoubtedly come to the conclusion that faith speaks! Faith is the spoken Word! I have a teaching that I did that teaches this thoroughly, titled “The Faith of the Word of God,” and you can go and listen to it on our Triumph podcast platform.

So, understand this crucial truth: faith is the word spoken, but it is the spoken word of what has been written. That is what our opening scripture reveals—the spirit of faith is according to what has been written. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.” That term translated as “word of God” in this powerful verse is the Greek word Rhema, which specifically refers to the living, active logos (word) that is spoken.

And remember what we discovered at the beginning of this series regarding the logos that was in the beginning in John chapter 1:45—logos is the written word. When you tie together what John reveals and Genesis 1, where it reveals how “God said” and spoke creation into existence, we see how the written word and faith—the spoken word—work together. Faith is the written word (logos) in the form of speaking! So, every single time the Bible teaches you about faith, every time it defines its operation, it always, without exception, tells you that it has a direct, undeniable connection to speaking, and that speaking is based on what has been written. Faith is when the logos is spoken! That is the only way to ensure that this expression of faith is faith in God, because it is the faith that is working with the written Word of God. That is what I call “The Faith of the Word of God.”

So this is how God used writing in the process of faith to recreate His world, and He expects you to do the same and employ the same principles with your life. Genesis chapter 1 reveals to us that the worlds, the very cosmos you inhabit, were framed—literally brought into existence—by the spoken word of God. And also the age where that very cosmos had been destroyed by God’s judgment was also restored and recreated for a new beginning, according to Hebrews 11:3. It says, “such that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear.”

Remember this vital progression: the written word—that’s your design, your meticulous plan, your vision, even with its vision board—it primarily creates the shape, the quality, the very blueprint of how your life, your next level, must look. It gives you a clear, vivid picture of what your future must encompass. That’s the purpose and power of the written word. Now, then there’s the speaking one—your words of faith, your declarations, your confessions—that is what now brings it into being; it literally gives creative energy into what you’ve created in writing! And that speaking is what now actively transports you, catapults you into the reality you’ve meticulously designed and created in writing. You see this divine order?

Consider this, which is a truth that I teach in the Faith series, which is that, primarily, faith is heard. It is not primarily seen. Faith is heard! That is what the Bible reveals to us. Like, for example, when Jesus calmed the storm, the disciples didn’t see anything just happen; they heard His commanding voice first, and then they saw the great calm. Same thing with the cursing of the fig tree; the Bible says that when Jesus cursed the fig tree, “his disciples heard it,” they didn’t see anything until a day or so later when they then saw the withered fig tree. That means that the speaking is faith in action! The action of faith is the speaking. So according to the teachings in the Word of God, the very action of faith is the speaking!

And Jesus taught this in His famous teaching about faith in Mark 11:22-23: “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (note: the faith of God) 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

This is Jesus’s teaching and definition of faith, which in verse 22 He called “The faith of God.” He said it works by what you say, it works through speaking. And this is also the very similar teaching of faith that Apostle Paul gave in Romans 10:9-10 where he said, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

What are the striking revelations that we see from both these teachings? Both of them reveal that faith is speaking; and the second thing that they reveal is that Jesus said “don’t doubt in your heart” and Paul said “believe with your heart,” and that’s absolutely amazing. And that these two, believing and doubt are what operate in your heart; but faith works in your mouth-faith is the spoken word! You get it? Because believing is something else; believing is not faith. There’s a big difference between believing and faith, and a lot of Christians have always confused believing with being faith, but believing is not faith. If you want to learn what believing is and its difference from faith, go and listen to my teaching “The Faith of the Word of God.” Haha!

Ok, so never be confused or sidetracked by partial explanations about faith; listen to Jesus! Jesus never gave us a partial definition of faith. He never gave us partial truths. He never gave partial teachings that needed supplementation. He said, “I am the way, the truth...” So, whatever explanation or teaching that Jesus gives you about a spiritual principle is absolute truth; there’s no need for another one, no room for any other supplementation or interpretations. He said what He said; don’t add to it. And He said “whosoever shall say …those things which he says …shall have whatsoever he says.” What does this mean? Speak!!! That’s faith-The Faith Of God!

So the divine sequence of how these two principles work together are clear: the writing designs and creates, and the speaking materializes. This is the simple, yet profound, progression: first, there was the writing, the blueprint, the divine plan; and then, there was the speaking, the rhema, the activation; and then the supply of supreme authority, the King’s seal, the name of Jesus Christ, followed by glorious materiality, the manifestation and actualization in the physical realm. Simple!

This is precisely how God brought everything you see into existence. It was through the consistent and deliberate application of principles. Now you know the principle, and it’s a game-changer: faith speaks and faith works with writing! Activate it in your life today!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for your grace in understanding Your Word revealing to me that faith undeniably speaks, and that Your spoken Word, framed the very worlds I see. Thank You Father for helping me to understand that my mouth is a divinely appointed tool for creation and for transporting me into my destiny. I choose to consistently speak the glorious vision, goals and life I have meticulously written, knowing with absolute certainty that my spoken words bring into tangible existence what You, Lord, have already perfectly designed for my life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
My faith speaks with authority! I frame my world, my circumstances, and my future with the powerful, spoken Word of God. What I have meticulously designed and planned in writing, I now bring forth into manifestation by consistently speaking it. My confession is my transportation; it actively transports me into my divine destination, for faith is heard, and it powerfully creates my reality! I am a speaker of faith!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Understanding Spiritual Principles

Study The Word

Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Receiving true wisdom, knowledge, and understanding from God should be the desire of every child of God. This should be the pursuit of your relationship with Him. In your walk with God, He will begin to reveal to you the principles that govern this world and what truly controls everything, both visible and invisible. And the answer to that is simply a deep understanding and consistent application of revealed, God-ordained principles.

Think about it:those that will be the most successful—those that will be at the very top—whether they acknowledge it or not, will either consciously or unconsciously, apply spiritual principles effectively in order to be truly successful in life.  It’s not that they’re inherently more intelligent than everyone else; the most intelligent or most educated people don’t consistently become the most successful in life. Absolutely not! It’s those people who have deeply and profoundly understood the eternal principles that govern the world—the invisible laws that govern visible outcomes. They then take those foundational principles and consciously, diligently, and consistently start to apply them in their own lives, whether it’s in their job, their business, their family, their health, or whatever situation they are navigating. And because these are spiritual principles that are God ordained, and that God Himself uses, they work universally and without bias for everyone who applies them, regardless of their background, beliefs, or current standing. The Bible says, “God makes the sun to shine and the rain fall on the just and the unjust.”

The question is, are you willing, positioned, and pressing to get that knowledge from God? This is the same reason why people who were not necessarily children of God or had a covenant with God could be blessed with the discovery of the gift and ability of writing. These are the sovereign gifts to mankind that are based on the demand that people make on God. And that’s why these keys—like the principle of writing, the principle of speaking by faith, and the authority inherent in the Name of Jesus—as simple as they may seem to the natural mind, have been revealed by God throughout the generations. And these are the principles that control everything! They’re not complex formulas requiring advanced degrees; they are divine truths, accessible to all who will humble themselves to learn and apply them. When you grasp this, you realize that your success is not limited by your natural abilities or your past education. Your success is determined by your willingness to understand and apply God’s principles.

So, stop waiting for more intelligence or more “luck.” Start seeking understanding, seeking God’s wisdom and God’s knowledge, and see how that will transform your life. I have a series of prayers that activate these kinds of things called 15 Days of Prayers of the Holy Spirit. I have been doing these for years in my personal development and walk as a minister, and I recommend them to you. Some of you wonder and ask, “Where does Shingi get all this information from?” Well, there you have it. I have been in consistent pursuit with these prayers for many years. Apart from the gift of the office that God deposited into my spirit, my pursuit and determination in praying the prayers of the Holy Spirit so that I could know and understand God more is what got me to where I am today. I cannot tell you the power and the blessing that God rewards me with for this today; it is absolutely unreal how the gift of God works. And it is by that gift and grace that I share with God’s people the things we share on this platform. I am so grateful, and my counsel to everybody is to seek God wholeheartedly with your life, genuinely take an interest in Him, and see how He will take an interest in pouring into you. So, pursue Him and dive into the Word to know Him, and as you do, He will generously open up things to you that you never knew or were aware existed about Him and about life.

With that will also come the wisdom and knowledge that God has already given you everything you require to make good things happen for yourself and for the people and world around you. He expects you to grow and to learn these principles and to actively use them to create the life He has destined for you to live and to be a blessing to all the people around you. You are empowered, not by your intellect, but by divine wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God’s spiritual principles! And writing, faith, and the Name of Jesus Christ are the chief of those principles. This is the true path to true fulfillment and lasting success!

Pray the Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that success is not solely dependent on human intelligence but on understanding and applying Your divine principles. I ask for wisdom and understanding to discern Your truths in Your Word. I commit to diligently applying the principles of writing, faith, and the Name of Jesus in my life. I declare that I operate by divine wisdom, bringing forth Your will and experiencing true success, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am wise in the Word of God! I understand and apply divine principles that govern my life. My success is rooted in God’s wisdom, not human intellect. I declare that I am a top achiever, living victoriously by the application of God’s eternal laws!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: You Are In Charge – Begin To Create!

Study The Word

Psalm 115:16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

We have learnt a lot of amazing principles and truths from God’s Word in this series that, when consistently applied, will make you an undeniable master over all things. They strategically put you in absolute charge of your life! They put you in charge of the circumstances that attempt to dictate your existence. You stop being addicted to problems, constantly reacting to external pressures, and instead, you start living a purposeful and consistently victorious life, every single day! This is the abundant, triumphant life you have been unequivocally called to live!

God doesn’t desire for you to be perpetually going from one pastor to one prophet to the next apostle, desperately trying to look for a word, or waiting for someone else to declare your future or to give you direction.  His desire for you is to grow and to take charge of your life.  God wants you to get up, take a big plain board and write in big bold letters: “I am great!  I’m called for greatness! I’m going to be great!” And then you put it on your wall in your room, in your office, in your diary, or even also in your bathroom or on your screensaver.  And then everyday you get up you see it and read it out boldly to yourself, “I am great!  I’m called for greatness! I’m going to be great!”.  And when people around you, who don’t understand this stuff, question you, asking, “What are you saying? What is all this?”  Don’t worry, you just keep doing it and you tell them, “Just watch me!”.
So you are the one that is to decide!  God is waiting for you to decide, because “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.”
You make the conscious, faith-filled decision that from today and this week going forward, “My life will be different,” and you set out a program for yourself to apply these principles daily.

The very moment you take that unshakeable stance, and begin to put these things into practice that is precisely when God says, “Yes, let’s go!” and He emphatically backs you on it, ensuring with His divine power and support that the principles of His Word produce the results they speak about!
People often don’t truly understand that God is unequivocally for you; God is actively waiting for you to take this stance, to use the authority He’s given you, the principles He has given you! The moment you decide, “By the end of this month, there will be a significant, undeniable change in my life,” the moment you take that bold, faith-filled stance, and begin to daily put the principles into motion, God, in His infinite faithfulness, immediately gives you the divine supply, the necessary resources, the supernatural connections, the perfect wisdom and guidance to make it happen for you.
It’s not a prophet that ultimately makes it happen; you are the one that makes it happen through your activated faith and decisive action! You see?

You don’t have to wait passively for a prophecy from a prophet for your life to change. You don’t need the pastor to lay hands on you, or the pastor to pray a specific prayer for you to move forward. No! Now you are the prophet of your own life the one who will be like, “Okay, I desire this change in my life, and in that area of my life and I know what to do.”
Then you proactively take actionable steps, applying these divine principles, and then you make things happen. You make things happen! You don’t have to wait for the prophet to prophesy. If a pastor or a prophet or an apostle ever does prophesy, great!  It should be just further confirmation of what you and God had already started; so don’t put all your hopes and dreams on that.  If the man of God doesn’t give you a prophecy or lay hands on you, great!  God has already given you His more sure Word of prophecy in the written Word of scripture for your life, and He wants you to take charge of your destiny and begin to use it!
Nowadays, you’ve got a whole world of people, even within the body of Christ, who are perpetually waiting for prophets to come and say something, for some external intervention. Do you truly think that’s what God wants for His children? No! God wants you to be in charge of your life! As those who have taken on the pursuit towards maturity: “…unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” (Ephesians 4:13)
He’s given you the keys! Jesus Christ wasn’t going around from place to place looking for prophecies.  What was He doing? The bible says in Luke 4 “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, …20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21  And he began to say unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Do you see how Jesus applied the principles here? Whooo! Glory!

Now, you yourself, from your room, from where you are right now, you decide that your life is going to be great! You don’t have to wait for a prophet to come and tell you that your life is going to be great, as if you have no agency.  If you ever bump into a prophet and they say “I see greatness, God says you are going to be great”, you say “yes I know, thank you for the confirmation Sir”, Hahaha!
Listen, greatness is not by accident! It is not by luck or chance! You have to decide to say “Yes!” to your calling.  Being in Christ and as Abraham seed, it’s too late to want to decide if greatness is for you or not.  Greatness is your birthright in Christ.  God already made that decision for you, so you actually don’t have a choice but also you do-if you intend to make the prophecy of the Word to work.  Genesis 12:2 He said “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”
This is your calling! Greatness is your destiny, don’t shy away from it.
Now, God wants you to decisively decide, “I am great! I am the embodiment of greatness! God has made my name great! My life is going to be great! I am blessed, and I am a blessing!!!” Ayaaa!
Listen, I don’t know about you but “I am great!” Haha!
And the very moment you determine that in your heart, and you write it down and begin to declare it with your mouth everyday, rehearsing it to yourself, it becomes so—not because somebody prophesied, not because someone else intervened. No, it’s because God has given you as a born-again child of God the inherent authority and the divine power to make yourself great through the application of His Word and principles! This is your glorious birthright in Christ! Step into it today!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You with a resolute heart that I am undeniably in charge of my life and my divine destiny. I steadfastly refuse to wait for others to prophesy or pray for me; instead, I take my unshakeable stand in faith, armed with Your divine principles. I declare right now that I actively make things happen in my life by Your inherent authority and power residing within me, and I consciously choose greatness for myself, knowing with absolute certainty that You will back me unequivocally, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am in charge of my life! I decide my greatness, and God Himself unequivocally backs my decision. I do not passively wait for prophecies; I actively create my reality through my faith and actions. I am powerfully empowered to make things happen, and my life is a living, breathing testimony of God’s authority flowing mightily through me! I am a force for divine change!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Spiritual Law of the Name of Jesus

Study The Word

Genesis 49:18
I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

Exodus 14:13
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Exodus 15:2 – 3
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

There is a spiritual principle that has been taught and known to us as a name, but in essence the teaching of the scriptures reveal to us that it is actually more than a name; but rather a spiritual law that God enacted as a law which if applied would deliver the totality of all His intent towards everyone and towards everything in existence; and that law was titled: Yehôshûa‛.  The Greek spelling is Iesous Ἰησοῦς, from which, through the Latin Iesus, we get the English spelling Jesus.  In Aramaic it is shortened to Yeshûa‛.  The Aramaic writing of “Yeshua” is the same as the Hebrew writing, as the Aramaic and Hebrew alphabets used at that time were essentially the same.  But they all refer to the same personality.  But the name I want you to always have in mind when you hear or see the name Jesus is Yehôshûa‛ or Yeshûa‛ which means: Jehovah is salvation, the Lord is salvation, the Lord saves, salvation is the Lord’s, Jehovah delivers or the Lord is deliverance or God Is Salvation.
You see from scripture that this name, or title or rightly put spiritual law was already what it is, operating with the supreme authority that it has before Jesus the man was born.  So it is not the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ that made the name Jesus the name which is above every name like the English of Philippians Chapter 2 suggests; if you do not read it with the context of the entire body of truth that has to do with that name. Before the creation of the world the name already existed as the name which is above every name, with all its authority and power above all creation because that is the name that God named and ordained for Himself, to be named in relation with His relation to creation and the sons and daughters of men.

That is why you see God using the name to deliver Israel throughout the Old Testament before the man Jesus was even born. So what Philippians is saying when it says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

What the Apostle Paul is saying is that God exalted Him by giving Him this name Yehôshûa‛ because it is the name which is above every name, so that every knee should before the man from Galilee.  So it was not the name that was exalted, it was the naming with the highest name that was the exaltation. Oh I wish you’d get it.

יהושׁע  Yehôshûa‛  Yeshûa‛  Jehoshua   – Jehovah is salvation, the Lord is salvation, the Lord saves, salvation is the Lord’s, Jehovah delivers, the Lord is deliverance, God is salvation

Just in case, so, for example; did you know that in order for the children of Israel to enter into the promise land God, through Moses had to use that same name? Because the man Joshua the son of Nun which is Yehôshûa‛ in Hebrew was not his name. His name was Osea usually spelt Hosea and not Yehôshûa‛- Joshua.  When Moses wanted to take the children of Israel into the promise land he selected 12 spies from one each of the 12 tribes of Israel and one of those young men was Oshea, which we all know as Joshua because Moses changed the name of Oshea. So the bible records that when Moses picked Oshea which means salvation, he changed it to Yehôshûa‛ –  Joshua.
“These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.”  (Numbers 13:16)

Moses had to change his name and renamed him Yehôshûa‛; what was he doing?, employing this law, this principle, which is the name which is above every name. So Moses knew that with the name Yehôshûa‛; Osea the son of Nun would not fail.  There will be deliverance by God, there will be salvation by Jehovah! Glory to God!  That’s why we can never fail, no never! Not when we understand this stuff! Haha!
And with deep study you will see how every deliverance of the children of Israel throughout the Old Testament reigned by using this name.  So when God finally comes in the flesh, He names Himself with that same name Yehôshûa‛, you get it?

Ok, now just based on this simple study you’ll begin to see how this is established as an eternal principle?  So it’s more than a name.  The principle that embodies and personifies God’s Person, His character such that by this principle from before the beginning throughout generations passed is now established that “…whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”. (Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13)  The scripture now establish it as a spiritual law, a divine principle.  When you study our opening scriptures you see Jacob preach about this title, this name, this eternal principle as he calls and says “I wait for Yeshû‛âh, O Jehovah” as he is prophesying to his children.  This is the same name, the same principle that Moses calls upon and is placing a demand on as he is standing before the Red Sea and declares “Fear ye not, stand still, and see Yeshû‛âh Jehovah.” (Exodus 14:13)

You know I like it when the Bible and even Lord Jesus were very deliberate when using words like “whosoever” or “whatsoever” it means this principle is for everybody and for anything; it doesn’t matter where you’re from, where you were born, or your social standing. It is for you! It says whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And you all know the story of what happened to the Egyptians and afterward Moses in celebration writes a song and begins to sing and celebrate: “Jehovah is my strength and song, and he is become my Yeshû‛âh: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 3 Jehovah is a man of war: Jehovah is his name.”(Exodus 15:2 – 3)

ישׁוּעה  yeshû‛âh salvation –  deliverance, victory, aid, victory, prosperity, help, God’s salvation, save, saving health, welfare.

The angel told Mary and Joseph to name the child Yeshûa‛, because this is the title and or spiritual principle, the name that embodied and personified the character and nature of God Himself—a title that characterized His existence through all generations even before He would be born into this world.  This law is seen throughout the generations from the beginning of creation, with which everything visible and invisible must bow: Jehovah Is Salvation – God Is Salvation; and all of creation is subject to it.  The Apostle Paul reveals that everything visible and invisible was created and brought into existence by the power and authority of this name. Colossians 1:16 -17 says “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

That’s the reason He would say to the disciples “Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do it,” (John 14:13)  It is because everything was created by that name. It’s a law, not a suggestion, it’s a principle and everything and every one can not but submit to it. He later expanded on this, saying, “If you shall ask me anything,” and then also in another teaching “whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you“. This is an unchanging principle. It doesn’t matter what you are facing—what challenge is in front of you, what is going against you—this law stands firm.
Unfortunately, many Christians do not know or understand what the name of Jesus truly means and what and Who it represents.  When you understand the name of Jesus and its meaning, who it is for, who it is talking about, you will never struggle again in your life. That will be the end of struggle forever, and ever.

Ἰησοῦς  Iēsous  Jesus –  Jehovah is salvation, the Lord is salvation, the Lord saves, salvation is the Lord’s, Jehovah delivers, the Lord is deliverance, God is salvation

The name of Jesus is the established, eternal spiritual law for salvation. God being the Saviour, and His name—Yeshûa. When you call upon that name, salvation is the result, no matter what it is you’re facing. You’ve also learned that the Hebrew word for salvation is yeshû‛âh and it means – deliverance, victory, aid, victory, prosperity, help, God’s salvation, save, saving health, welfare. What more does it tell us about the name Yeshûa‛ or Jesus? It means that when you call upon the name you are declaring that the Lord God is your deliverance, the Lord is your victory, the Lord is your aid, the Lord is your prosperity, the lord is your help, the Lord God is your salvation; your saving health, and your eternal welfare glory to God!  This is a principle that does not fail.  Proven throughout all the generations of men.  It is one of the three principles that will help you master your life and channel it in the direction that God intended it to go. Learn it, understand it and begin to use it.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the spiritual law of the name of Jesus; the name Yeshûa. I thank You not only for naming me with Your name, but also for giving Your name to us to use. Father grant me a deeper understanding and knowledge of the name of Jesus, so that I may apply it as an eternal unfailing principle and live a life of victory. I will not be a victim of my circumstances, but I will command my world with the power of Your name. Empower me with more grace and wisdom to walk in daily in the demonstration and application of Your name with understanding; in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I declare that the name of Yeshûa is in me, and I am in the name of Yeshûa Mashiach! Everything in my life and all around responds and cannot but bow to the name of the Lord Yeshûa! I am saved, delivered, and victorious because I know how call upon the name of the Lord! I use the name of Jesus to command my world, and every mountain and challenge bows before this name! And in the name of Jesus Christ, I am a master of my life!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Combining Writing, Faith, and the Name

Study The Word
Esther 8:8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.

We’ve extensively explored the powerful principle of writing: how it serves as God’s principle for creation, how it designs your life, and how it acts as the divine vehicle to transfer spiritual realities from the unseen into the physical realm. Without that meticulously written design, that clear, tangible design for your life, your deepest desires and God-given visions will, tragically, remain just desires or fleeting thoughts. But when you actively design and put your mind down in writing, that’s the powerful, definitive beginning of true success and the actualization of the will of God for your life, your career and your ministry.
We also discuss how faith follows up together with the what I call the King’s seal which we learnt is The name of Jesus.

Now, this is where the combination of these divine principles becomes absolutely explosive. Once you have that writing, that detailed plan, that clear, written design of your life, you need to combine it powerfully with faith, and seal with the name of Yeshua. You have to profoundly understand what faith is, not just intellectually, but how it works dynamically with that written plan. Let’s delve into what the Apostle Paul was talking about when he said “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1) when we understand it based on the what the scriptures have revealed to us about writing-logos-the written Word.  What this description reveals to us is that faith is the written document-the written Word and that gives the physical evidence of what is physically unseen. You see place of writing in the process of the spirit of faith. So without the writing faith is incomplete.

This description is telling us that without the writing you have no evidence. The AMPC says “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” It says faith is the title deed, now a title deed is a written document that serves as proof of property ownership.
That title deed has the written details of what the property is, what the measurements are and what structures on on the property to the exact detail.

And it validates as proof and evidence that the said property with its measurements and design now belongs to a certain individual.  Now the Apostle Paul says to us that this is faith. And it involves this particular written document. Do you get this? When you introduce writing into your process of faith, you are effectively putting jet fuel and exponential acceleration into accomplishing that plan, or acquiring God’s will, plans and purposes for your life. At that point, nothing will be able to stop it from you stepping in to it!

But it doesn’t stop there; the power escalates even further. When you take writing, combine it synergistically with faith, and then add the omnipotent Name of Jesus-Yeshua to it, it becomes impossible to fail. That is what I call “The King’s Seal!   You literally cannot but succeed; your success is not just likely, it is inevitable!
I showed you what Moses did with the Name of Jesus – Yeshua Jehovah back in the Old Testament, how it was the very power that delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage and led them through the Red Sea.
David said to Goliath,
“You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.”  Now, imagine applying that same omnipotent Name to your meticulously written plans, infused with unwavering, active faith!

This isn’t just theory or wishful thinking; this thing is happening now, we are about this now, it’s the inevitable living reality for those who apply it now! You’ll be able to stand with divine confidence and say, “Listen, by the end of this year, I’m buying this specific property,” or, “Just give me a few months, I’m definitely moving out of this neighborhood into my own place, fully paid for,” or, “in a short while I’m going to be operating this full-fledged profitable business, or job.”  There is no limit!  You just have to be determined to stick to this process until the end.  People may see you seemingly sitting around, perhaps not engaging in frantic physical activity, but you are quietly, powerfully taking these divine principles, applying them meticulously, and putting them to work.

This is the non-negotiable secret of guaranteed, undeniable success. It’s not just one isolated principle, but the powerful, unstoppable synergy of all three working together in harmony: your vision clearly articulated and designed in writing, energized by unwavering, active faith, and irrevocably empowered by the omnipotent, all-conquering Name of Jesus Christ. Failure truly becomes impossible when these divine forces perfectly align and are put into consistent action.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the powerful, unstoppable synergy of writing, unwavering faith, and the omnipotent Name of Jesus Christ. I pray for the divine grace, wisdom and insight to perfectly combine these principles effectively and consistently in every area of my life, knowing with absolute certainty that my success is guaranteed through Your unfailing Word and established laws in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
My meticulously written plans are supernaturally fueled by unwavering faith and eternally empowered by the omnipotent Name of Jesus! Failure is absolutely impossible for me; it is not an option. Success is guaranteed as I perfectly combine and diligently apply these divine principles daily, and I see my visions manifest rapidly, powerfully, and undeniably in the name of Yeshua Mashiach!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Writing Creates, Faith & The Name Forges Into Existence

Study The Word

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 The Scripture tells us that “through faith we understand that the worlds were framed”. That word “framed” is a very telling word. In its original context, it means to repair or to restore. Wow! This scripture is not just talking about the initial creation of the universe, it is also telling us about the process of restoration and repair that happens in our own lives, for our own personal worlds! The testimony of the changes that you want in your life come through faith, and things are framed, repaired, and restored through faith. This is a truth that you must grasp. So what the Word is telling you is that if there’s going to be a change in your life, whether it’s your health, your job, your finances, your marriage, or anything else, it is going to happen through faith. Faith and the name of Jesus are the only law by which things are changed. And we discovered that writing is an integral part of faith; and without the writing faith will not work; the writing in the principle of faith is what we discovered Hebrews 11:1 AMPC refers to as the title deed providing evidence of things that are in the unseen realm.

Habakkuk 2:2 -3 The Lord says to the prophet, write it down, and when you’ve written it down it will surely come, though it may tarry, it will not be stopped glory to God!   “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

What does He mean it shall surely speak? It means it is going to manifest with an announcement, with a declaration that cannot be denied; it shall surely speak, it shall surely announce itself!
There is no other way, no other law, no other principle that will bring about the change you desire. You cannot pray it into existence without faith and the name of Jesus, you cannot fast it into existence without faith and the name of Jesus, and you certainly cannot work hard enough to make it happen without faith and the name of Jesus Christ. So stop looking for another way, another quick fix, and come to the understanding that faith and the name of Jesus are the only principles that changes things.
Have you ever studied Hebrews 1:1 and 2? It says “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”

It says “by whom also He made the worlds;” and who is this “Son” that is being referred to?  That is referring to Jesus; so that means that by Jesus, by Yeshua God made the worlds! No wonder in John 14 Jesus could boldly say “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” And the key here is the name.

It’s the most beautiful and most liberating thing when you discover that writing, faith and the name of Jesus have an invisible impact, an invisible force that affects and changes things that are seen in the physical world.  When you discover what those things are that he Bible was referring to when it said that the things that you can see, the things that are visible, were not made by things which do appear. They were made by an invisible force, an invisible creative power, by a spiritual law, and that those things which do not appear are writing, faith and the name Yeshua. And it is these spiritual laws that we use to create and recreate, design and bring into existence, frame and repair, our worlds in accordance with God’s dream and purposes of peace, joy, love, prosperity and health and success in our lives.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the principle of writing, the law of faith and You eternal Name that You prepared and revealed to us in Your Word for my benefit.  I ask You for the grace to operate in these revelations and keys of Your kingdom, knowing that it will always bring about changes according to Your will in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am a faith person! I have the faith of God in me, and I use it to frame my world. My health is restored, my finances are repaired, and my life is changed for the better by the law of faith, in the name of Jesus Christ!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: From Logos to Rhema

Study The Word

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Genesis 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

We’ve been taught a lot about the Word of God, and rightly so. But you need to understand there are different terms that are translated as “Word” in the Bible. The word in John 1:1 is logos, which refers to the written Word, the blueprint, the plan, the divine thought. All things were created by Him, by the logos. But there is another very important term you need to know about—rhema—which is the spoken Word.
This is where faith and writing come together to create a powerful, supernatural force in your life. You have a vision, a dream, a desire in your heart that God has given you. You write it down. And then you take that writing, and you begin to speak it out. When you do that, that logos, that written word, becomes rhema, the spoken word.
This is the process that brings about the changes you want to see!

The Bible says that through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the rhema, the spoken word of God. It’s not enough to have the written Word or to write down your vision. You must then take that written word, speak it out, and make it rhema. So you write, “This is my income for September.” Then you speak it out: “My income for September is this much, in the name of Jesus!”. You see, the written Word becomes a creative force when it is spoken by a child of God, and this is a principle you must use in your life. When there is no speaking of the written word, there is no faith. The logos is the creation; the rhema is the power in action to bring it into being.

In Genesis 3:8 it says “And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.”

This is another powerful scripture that gives us deep insight into the nature of the Word of God. The Bible says that Adam and Eve heard “the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden”. Think about that for a moment! There was a voice, and that voice had legs and was walking! This means that the Word of God is spiritual substance in it’s active form. It’s not just sound waves; it’s living spiritual substance that can be seen and heard in the spiritual realm. This voice was the spoken Word, the rhema, moving around in the garden in its spiritual substance, because Adam said “we heard it!” This is the creative Word of God, the same Word that spoke and brought the world into existence. We know that God is a Spirit, but He can exist in many different forms at the same time: on the throne, as the Holy Spirit, and as we see here with Adam, as the Spoken Word walking, and John said He is also the Written Word – logos; and that logos put on human flesh.

The Word of God is a living personality, with its own spiritual substance and form and when it puts on human flesh it is named Yeshua! This is why it is so important that you don’t treat the Word of God as just a book of stories. It is a living, active, walking, talking spiritual substance of a Person!  Now when you take the written Word – logos and then you speak the Word, you are releasing a spiritual substance into the realms and into the physical atmosphere with the dynamic creative power to bring forth into existence “…such that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear.”  So, when you say, “In the name of Jesus Christ; …in the name of Yeshua Machiach,” you are not just saying words; you are releasing a spiritual creative power with a spiritual tangibility that everything in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth has no choice but must respond to! So when I talk it’s not empty, I release spiritual power! And as a child of God, if you do not understand this, or maybe out of ignorance you do not believe this about the Word of God you are going be a victim, it’s just a matter of time. So you better learn it and begin to practice it before the forces of the life of this world come up against you.  Start practicing the Word, doing the Word, putting the principles to work; and you will always be victorious!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word—the logos and the rhema. I thank You for the understanding that the written Word becomes a creative force when it is spoken. Help me to be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer, and to turn the logos into rhema in my life.

Speak The Word
I speak the written Word of God over my life! My words are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. I take the logos and I turn it into rhema. I frame my world with my spoken word, and I see the changes I desire, in the name of Jesus!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Faith According As It Is Written

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 4:13
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.“

Mark 11:22-23
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Note: the faith of God).  23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Romans 10:8-10
“The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Over the years I had the opportunity by the grace of God to pursue, research and study every faith message as I could get my hands on, reading almost every faith book I could find, and listening to as many faith teachers and faith teachings for years, because my desire was to please God. I had read that without faith it is impossible to please God; so this clearly is a serious requirement in having a relationship with God.  So I was relentless in trying to understand what this faith thing is.

πιστεύω  pisteuō believe  –  to think to be true, believe, believed

I learnt so many beautiful things but in my spirit I still had a nudge that there was more; so I was never really satisfied with all the beautiful things I had been learning from the many books and teachings I was studying on the subject; so I kept asking the Holy Spirit questions particularly – I wanted to know what the Spirit of God defined faith to be.  And then the day came and I was directed to where? – the Written Word –  the scriptures.   The spirit of faith is according as it is written.
I have devotional that I shared some weeks back titled “The Holy Spirit: The Author Of The Scriptures”.  The Spirit of God directed me back to the scriptures and this time with one determination: forget everything that I thought or heard before and focus on seeing what the Spirit of God had actually had Written there. What I discovered changed everything! When I looked at 2 Corinthians 4:13, certain words leaped out the pages: “spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, therefore speak;” and presenting to us the complete order of the spirit of faith: write, believe, speak.

The spirit of faith starts with writing! It says “according as it is written”—so the spirit of faith has its foundation in writing. But notice the progression: first it’s written being transferred from the spirit realm into the physical world, then it becomes belief by being read and being accepted as true in your heart, and finally faith manifests when you speak it!

ῥῆμα  rhema  word – spoken word, vocalized logos, the word when it is spoken

Here’s what revolutionized my understanding: Paul clearly distinguishes between two different words, believe-pistueo and faith-pistis; and that is—pistueo has to do with the word in your mind which is the Word in your heart. And then there’s pistis which has to do with persuading with your mouth; which is the Word in your mouth – persuasion.  The dormant Word in your heart, dwells in your heart as belief.  It will not become faith until it is spoken.

The Lord Jesus teaching on faith said faith starts when you “..say unto this mountain”!  In His differentiating between the word in your heart and the word that you “say with you mouth” in Mark 11 said “shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe”; Apostle Paul’s teaching of faith corresponds in Romans 10 as he said “shalt believe in thine heart”. This means that believing and doubt is a function of the heart.
And faith is a function of your mouth.

Look at how Paul explained it: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus”—that’s the word in your mouth, that’s faith-pistis. “And shalt believe in thine heart”—that’s the word in your heart, that’s belief-pistueo.
Then he says: “For with the heart man believeth… and with the mouth confession is made.”

Without speaking, what you have is either belief in your heart or doubt in your heart, but there is no faith yet! Faith starts when you speak, and faith stops when you stop speaking. The Word of God that you have memorized, that you have written down or in written form and have accepted to be true, and that you think about now and again—when it’s in your heart, in your mind, the Word resides there as belief. But the moment you open your mouth and begin to speak that word, that’s where faith begins!

πίστις  pistis  faith  –  persuasion, assurance,  persuaded, spoken persuasion,

This is why when you study the miracles of Jesus you’d discover that they all involved Words. There is no miracle that Jesus performed that did not involve speaking!  Either Jesus would be the one to speak, or if it was a miracle that someone received, you discover that the recipient had spoken the word to receive their miracle. As you study them you’ll discover the Lord Jesus speaking:  “Peace be still.” “Rise up and walk.” “Stretch forth thy hand.” “Be thou cleansed.” Every single one! And when it was someone else’s faith, it was always based on what that person said, not what they did.

This is how the written Word describes faith; and you can see how faith is the spoken word. That’s the clearest definition scripture gives us. When there’s no speaking, there is no faith. Faith comes by hearing, and there can be no hearing unless there has been some speaking! It is not by not by seeing, it’s power is not by mere observation—the power of faith is by confession.  “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God;”  (Romans 10:18) and you can only hear something that has been vocalized, something that has a voice. From the Word vocalized can one be persuaded – pistis – faith! This is faith as defined by the scripture, what I call: The faith of the Word of God.
And from this understanding, we can now see how this works with writing. And now we can now move on to see how faith works also with the name of Yeshua.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for this revelation of faith as the spoken word. I understand now that faith starts with writing Your word, becomes belief in my heart, and manifests as faith when I speak it. Help me to be consistent in speaking Your word over every situation in my life, knowing that faith only operates through the spoken word, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
Faith is the spoken word! I speak God’s word with authority and power! What I have written becomes belief in my heart, and what I speak from my heart becomes faith that moves mountains! I am not silent in the face of challenges—I speak God’s word! My faith is activated through my voice, and every word I speak in alignment with God’s will produces supernatural results. Faith speaks, and I speak faith!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Faith In His Name

Study The Word

John 14:13-14
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

Acts 3:6
“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”

Acts 3:16
“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the mighty name of Jesus Christ and the revelation that I am in His name and His name is in me. I thank You that even You used the name of Jesus to send the Holy Spirit. Help me to live in the consciousness of being in this name and to operate in faith in His name for every situation I face, knowing that everything must bow to this name, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is in me! I operate by faith in His name! At the name of Jesus, every knee must bow—including every challenge, every problem, every circumstance in my life. I don’t need money to solve financial problems—I direct the name of Jesus to my challenges and the money bows to that demand! Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, and I call upon His name with authority and power!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Kings Seal

Study The Word
Esther 8:8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.

Writing is a divine tool, a divine principle that God Himself instituted from the very beginning.
The Apostle Paul in his divinely inspired writings reveals how the things that were written aforetime were also written for our learning (Romans 15:4).  In his letter to Timothy he also reveals how God also employs writing for our benefit when he said “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16 -17)  That’s amazing.

Another account that God prepared for us for our learning regarding the purpose and power writing, nowhere do we see this principle on full display in the scriptures than in the book of Esther.  There, we see a man named Haman, who, in his pride and hatred for Mordecai and the Jewish people, devises a sinister plot to destroy them all. What does he do? He doesn’t just go and kill them; no, he uses the power and authority of writing! He approaches King Ahasuerus and gets a decree written, signed, and sealed with the king’s signet ring. That decree, that written word, was a death sentence for an entire nation! It was sent out to all the king’s provinces, and the people wept and mourned because a powerful word had been written against them, and sealed.
Think of it this way: Haman’s sinister plan to destroy the Jews first existed as a thought in his wicked mind. But it only became a real, tangible threat when he put it into writing and got it sealed with the king’s ring.
That’s what I always encourage every child of God, to never wait for your fate to be decided upon by the writings of others. Now, the original decree from Haman was a spiritual act of wickedness expressed through writing. It transferred a spirit of fear and mourning to the Jews across the kingdom.

What Haman didn’t know was that the power of this divine principle had been reversed and put to work against him and his agenda.  Remember, the purpose of writing is to create a reality from the unseen realm of thought and ideas in the spirit.  Now, Haman wrote death and destruction into existence. But our God is a God who reverses the un-reversible. How?  By using the same principle again, but this time in your favor!  So it doesn’t matter what new laws they are writing in secrecy to oppress; we see from God’s Word that we have the power and authority to have it reversed! Glory to God!

Do you see this? When Esther, at the risk of her life, approaches the king and reveals Haman’s evil plot, the king’s anger is kindled.  So what happens? King Ahasuerus gives Esther and Mordecai his signet ring and tells them to write a new decree for the Jews. He tells them, “Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring!” Glory to God! The very same ring and the very same authority that was used to write the death sentence against God’s people was now used to write a new decree of salvation, protection, peace, prosperity and life!

חָתַם  chatham  seal – to seal, to affix a seal to, to close or authenticate by a seal

The new written word, sealed with the king’s ring, gave the Jewish people the authority to defend themselves and destroy their enemies. And the Bible says, “The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour” (Esther 8:16). Why? Because a new word was written, a new reality was created, and it was sealed with the king’s authority!

What is the implication for your life? The king’s seal represents an un-reversible authority of the one who wrote it. In our case, the Word of God is written for us, in the name of the King of kings, Jesus Christ!
God has given us His seal of authority, the name of Jesus Christ, as a guarantee that no one can reverse the Word He has written concerning us. No demon, no devil, no sickness, no lack, and no plan of the enemy can reverse what has been written concerning you in the name of Yeshua Mashiach the King!

  Are you in a situation where the written word of a doctor’s report, a bank statement, a new person in government has brought in evil laws that seems to be now dictating your life and the lives of God’s people negatively? It’s time for you to write a new word! Write a new record! Write a new record! The authority is in your hands, for you have been given the King’s seal—The name of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit! Haha!
Don’t just sit by and watch, get up and take action! You have learnt about the purpose and power of writing, put it to work!

When Haman’s decree was sealed with the king’s ring, no one could reverse it. What about you, when you write concerning your destiny a new decree, sealed with the Name of Jesus, the King of all kings? No demon, no sickness, no lack, no plan of the enemy can stand against it!

The Name of Jesus is the King’s Seal of all eternity. It is the final authority. It is the power that brought all things into existence. So, if you want your written vision to be not just a possibility but an absolute certainty, you must combine it with the spoken word of faith and seal it with the Name of Jesus the Christ! Your success is not just likely; it is guaranteed with God’s seal!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the profound spiritual principle of writing and the power of Your seal. I thank You that the writings of the prophets and apostles were written for my learning, sealed with the Holy Spirit. I declare that I have been given the King’s seal, and with it, I write a new reality for my life, a new decree for my family, and a new story for my destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Speak The Word
I am a creator just like my Father! I live in the consciousness of the fact that I have the King’s seal—the name of Jesus Christ—given to me to reign in this life. The written word I declare and the reality I create is sealed by His authority and cannot be reversed! I write my story; I write my healing; I write my promotion; I write my victory; I write my destiny and new life, and I speak it forth and seal with the King’s seal – The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Writing & The Revelation Of Jesus

Study The Word
Revelation 1:10 – 11 & 19
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,  11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;  …19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

The Purpose and Power of Writing is a theme that runs from Genesis to Revelation, and from the beginning of this month up to now we’ve been able to see from Moses, the prophets, the gospels, the epistles and now we have arrived at the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ revealing the Purpose & Power of Writing. We have already learned so much but most importantly how that writing is a divine principle instituted by God Himself, the ultimate designer and creator of all things. But now, in the upcoming days we will delve into what did Jesus Himself, our Lord and King, have to say about this principle? How did He use it?  And we’ll also see how writing is still relevant and is still being used in heaven, before God’s Throne.
So, we find a profound revelation of this creative purpose and power of writing in the very first chapter of the book of Revelation.

The Apostle John, in a moment of divine visitation, was caught up “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day”. And what was the very first command he received from the voice of Jesus Christ, “the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end?” It was not to go and speak, or to preach.  No, the first instruction was, “What thou seest, write in a book!”. And then, He says it again, emphasizing it in verse 19, “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter”. Do you see this? Jesus, the Son of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, begins His final revelation to mankind with a command to write!.

I do not know anything else that could confirm the purpose and the power of writing to any child of God more than this revelation. What other revelation confirms the spirituality of writing more than this? Writing is spiritual; and we see more about how the origin of writing has always been spiritual and from God; and how spirits were created and design to work and function with writing.
So if the enthroned Jesus Christ were to appear to you today, guess what He is going to ask of you regarding anything that He’d want to share or reveal to you? Obviously one of the things He’s going to ask you to do is to write the things.
Why? Because writing is the divine mechanism for transferring spiritual reality into the physical world. What John saw in the spirit realm, what was revealed to him by Jesus, was not meant to remain just a vision or just another spiritual experience. No, it had to be made tangible!

It had to be written down so that it could be sent to the seven churches and become a permanent record, an immovable reality that could now be read, studied, and lived by and put to work in the body of Christ that was in Asia at the time.  And also, the prophecy of the end times that we are now living in today, thousands of years later; we would not have known if John had not written those things about the end time if he had not transferred all that he was shown into writing, as he was instructed to do by the Lord Jesus.  This is how a spiritual vision becomes a physical, undeniable, and accessible truth! This principle is how God’s divine Will, purposes and plans are made manifest on the earth and in the lives of men.  There is no other more sure way than this.  This is the first and foundational truth we learn about Jesus and His emphasis on writing in the book of Revelation.  And like I’ve been saying throughout this month that if God Almighty – the Lord Jesus Christ applied this principle with the critical things He wants or wanted to do in this world; you’d only be unwise to not use it to establish the critical plans and purposes of God that you want to actualize in your own life.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the divine principle of writing that You have established from the beginning. Thank You that Jesus Himself affirmed this principle by commanding John to write down the vision he received. I pray for the grace to steward every divine idea and vision You give me by writing it down and making it a tangible reality in the physical world, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
I receive every divine idea and instruction from the Spirit of God and I write it down! Just as Jesus commanded John to write, I am a writer of my own destiny. I transfer spiritual realities into the physical world through the power of writing. I am not just a hearer of the word; I am a doer, a designer, and a writer of my life and destiny! Hallelujah!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Written Word To The Seven Churches

Study The Word
Revelation 2:1 & 8 & 12 & 18
“Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write… 8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write… 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write… 18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write…”

The power of writing was used by the Lord Jesus to not only bring spiritual realities of the things He wanted to establish into the physical world and the earth part of His church; He also used it to establish a concrete record and communication for the people of God that was not only relevant and applicable to the body of Christ back then, but is also relevant and applicable to the body of Christ throughout all the hundreds of years up to now and also into the future. This just further proves to us how powerful this principle truly is.  After Jesus commands John to write the things he has seen and which he shall see in chapter 1, the Lord Jesus Himself immediately begins to put this principle into practice by sending His written Word to each of the seven churches in Asia.

Now, listen to this: Jesus did not just give a general message for John to go and preach. No! He gave seven distinct writings of letters, each one specifically addressed to a particular church. To the church in Ephesus, He said, “write this!” To the church in Smyrna, He said, “write this!” To Pergamos, “write this!” and to Thyatira, “write this!”. Every letter was meticulously crafted with specific commendations, specific rebukes, and specific instructions for each church.

This is the Master of the universe, our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, using writing as the primary mode of communication for His final instructions to the churches. This tells us that God places an incredible value and premium on the written word! A spoken word can be misremembered, forgotten, or distorted. But the written Word? It is a permanent record. It is established in the earth as it is established in heaven, and can now be read again and again, and passed down from generation to generation for an everlasting witness. It can be referred back to. It is the solid, undeniable truth that stands the test of time. This is how God has worked with His ministers throughout all the generations; and this is how He works with His ministers even today.

Like I mentioned before, if ever you want to be used as a minister by God in a unique way to impact your generation, you need to cultivate the discipline in putting to work the principle of writing.  God wouldn’t disclose to me or to anyone for that matter any serious revelation if He knew that I wouldn’t write it down. But because over the years I got to understand the spirituality of writing and how God works with writing, and how spirits work with writing I started to document and put everything the Spirit of God shared with me in written form.  And from that time to now the flow of divine information flows in and through my spirit like torrents, consistently, unending streams of revelation. And one of the reasons we put this series together is to inspire God’s children to start doing the same.  This is why the God insisted throughout the generations men to write the Word of God, so that you and I could have an immutable record of God’s heart and will for us. And we also see the Lord Jesus also consistently insisting on writing because He wanted His message to be precise, unchangeable, and eternally available to us His people.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the written Word of God. I thank You that You have given me a permanent record of Your love and Your instructions for my life in the Bible. I pray that I will never treat Your written Word lightly but will always handle it with the reverence it deserves, for it is my sure foundation and my guide, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
The written Word of God is my life! It is my sure foundation and the unchangeable record of God’s will for me. I am a doer of the written Word! I live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and I apply it to my life with diligence and faith!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Blessed Is He That Readeth

Study The Word

Revelation 1:3
“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”

Jesus, the very living Word of God made flesh, reveals to us a profound and incredible blessing right at the start of the book of Revelation. He says, “Blessed is he that readeth” and after that He says and “they that hear”… “and keep those things which are written therein.”  Powerful!  So that means the moment you take the time to just read the written Word of God that is written here, you immediately step into a realm of blessing; you become one that is now functioning in a special blessing from Jesus Christ Himself, just for reading these things. Incredible!
There’s a transfer of a spiritual blessing from the Lord Jesus into your life from reading this writing.  That is profound; and it coincides with all that we have been learning in this series of how writing transfers spiritual things into our physical world and have divine, real-time impact all the way from the spiritual world.  So, we have now finally arrived to that place where the Lord Jesus is confirming the reality of this teaching on The Purpose & Power Of Writing.
This is writing with divine purpose, unleashing divine power.  It is spiritual writing unleashing supernatural power, ability and authority. And what you need to do going forward is to tap into it and begin to practice this form of writing consciously for the benefit of the life that Jesus died for you to live.

μακάριος makarios blessed  –  supremely blessed, happy, or fortunate, blessed by the supreme, blessed supremely

God is a spirit, and here we have revealed to us again an account of Jesus Christ the Supreme Being who has His eternal domicile in the spirit in heaven, expressing and establishing His benevolence towards every man in the earth that reads these written Words. This further reveals how writing is not only a human invention but also that writing is a gift that God gave to man as a principle of communication, transmission and expression of creativity, blessing, spiritual virtue; and for the establishment of dominion and rule.  All this power has it’s origin and source from the spirit and is all profoundly spiritual. So it is revealed and established as a truth to us that spirits function with writing.  There is a spiritual programming of physical things that writing does that has it’s origins from the spirit realm.  There is no doubt about that now as we have seen this from the scriptures.  We also see from the Word that Spirits express, establish, and are connected and or connect with each other through writing, because you know that just as much as God is a Spirit, man is also a spirit created in the image and likeness of God.  Spirits and spiritual things and substances are also transmitted and transferred through writing. So the Lord Jesus said that as you read, there’s a communication and transmission of spiritual things through the principle and medium of writing. And through reading and or just making contact with the spiritual things being communicated through the writings, spiritual blessing is transferred to you. Spiritual virtue, blessing and substance is transmitted to your life through reading this writing; such that whoever will take the time to read will receive something spiritual from the writings. This is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself making use, and putting the principle to work.  And you need to start doing the same.

Now, the Greek word for “blessed” is makarios, which means “supremely blessed.” It’s speaking of a deep, spiritual contentment and favor that is based on having everything about your life and your existence taken care of not just by anyone or anything but that comes directly from the Supreme Creator, God Himself. That’s peace, supply and security like non other.  And this blessing is attached to a specific action: engaging with this specific written Word of God. This shows us that not does God have a special reverence and premium for what is written, but primarily for His Written Word.  So, He wants us to hear the Word, but He doesn’t just want us to hear it; He wants us to read it for ourselves because He has there by the efficacy of the principle transferred His blessing through it; and then also He wants us to keep it, to treasure it and apply it.  So what are you going to do?  There’s a blessing for the reader, the hearer and the keeper, or doer.  What are you going to do?

The act of reading and keeping the written Word is an act and product of faith. It’s a statement that you believe what God has put in a book is true, as you are willing to also do it, and put it to work. This is an active participation of practicing the written revelation of God. What a life! And what follows this?  There is a reward, there is a blessing, attached to the diligence of studying, doing, and holding on to that which has been written.  Make sure that you are participating in every aspect of the benefits of the provisions of this principle of writing!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the profound blessing attached to Your written Word. I receive the grace to be a diligent reader and a faithful keeper of all that is written in Your holy scriptures. I thank You that as I engage with what is written, You bring me into a state of supernatural blessing and favor, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am blessed because I read, hear, and keep the written Word of God. I am not a passive receiver; I am a blessed keeper of the Word! As I engage with what is written, my life is filled with the blessing and favor of God, and I walk in divine destiny, purpose, and power. Hallelujah!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: God’s Plan For The End Time

Study The Word

Revelation 5:1-4 & 9
“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals… 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon… 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

  In Revelation chapter 5, the Apostle John sees a powerful vision of “a book written within” sealed with seven seals. The entire scene in heaven comes to a standstill because no one is found worthy to open this book or even to look at it. It is a document of such immense importance that its contents are kept secure until the one who is worthy to open it appears. And who is that person? It is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lamb that was slain—Jesus Christ!

Do you see the spiritual significance of this? Books have always existed in heaven because, heaven exists outside of time, in eternity; therefore books and writing existed outside of time, before time began, that is before the foundation or creation of the world. So books and writing are ancient technologies of eternity.  Man didn’t invent writing, nor did he invent books.  God delivered it to man as a gift; just as God gave to man. This is the book that Apostle John see’s in heaven that has written within; the plans, purposes, and judgments of God Himself that will shape how the world will be in during a particular well defined period of time. Imagine how all these things that are written will happen in the world are all written and documented in heaven in a book.  And like what Habakkuk was revealed of how “the vision is for an appointed time”, we see the same process of how this works playing out hear with what the Apostle John details for us.

It is the Ultimate Written Document, and the right to open it, read its contents is not given lightly. It is a right that was earned through the sacrifice and redemption of Jesus Christ. The fact that this book is a central point of action in heaven, which has ramifications of what is to happen in the earth demonstrates the profound spiritual reality and authority that is tied to the Purpose & Power Of Writing.
 There is nothing that can be more encouraging and faith bolstering than knowing that our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in eternity make use of writing for the implementation of His most critical plans purposes in heaven and in the earth.

After having learnt all of this, concerning your life going forward you need to not wait but tap in and begin to put this principle to work consciously.
You will begin writing with divine purpose, unleashing divine power; unleashing supernatural power and ability regarding your life, and the plans and purposes that God prepared for you to walk and live in.  Your calling, your goals, even prayers not only for you but also for people and places around you.  You are going to make use of this  spiritual principle that is in full operation in heaven, even as we see it being used by the Lord Jesus for His plans and purposes for the end times, and you’ll be applying it to your life.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, is worthy to open the book of Your plans and purposes for creation in this end times. Thank You for giving me access to this same power. Thank you for the grace to always know and be bold to apply the purpose & power of writing in my life, knowing that what I write is being made real and tangible because of my oneness with the Lord Jesus, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
I have the right to exercise the power of writing in my life.  The same authority that gave Jesus the right to open the heavenly book gives me the right to create and design my life on earth through the power of writing as a joint-creator with God!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Blessing of What Is Written

Study The Word
Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”

Revelation 19:9
“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”

Isn’t it incredible how many times in the book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus Christ or a heavenly being commands John to write? It’s like God is screaming from heaven, “This principle is so important, I’m going to keep telling you to do it!”. In Revelation 19, an angel speaks to John and says, “Write”. And what is the specific thing John is commanded to write?  “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb”.   A divine declaration of blessing that is now made a permanent, heavenly written record.  Do you know what this means? It means that the blessing is established in heaven and also in the earth by being written down. In our opening scripture of Matthew 16:19 the Lord Jesus Christ revealed this key to us when He said “And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”  Apart from exercising this declaratively, you can and should enforce this key, this principle through the purpose & power of writing.

The act of writing makes it an immutable reality, not only on earth but also in heaven. The angel confirms this by saying, “These are the true sayings of God”. The truth of the saying is made concrete and undeniable because it has been committed to the divine principle of writing. It’s a foundational truth for us: you can speak a blessing, but when you write it, you are giving it a physical form that can be read, rehearsed, and held on to and fulfilled in the earth. This is the purpose & power behind writing and making it plain for all to see, just as God instructed Habakkuk.

Think about this: Jesus is the King of Kings, and His very name is a written title on His garment and also on His thigh. Revelation 19:16 says, “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”. Even His ultimate authority is defined and established by a title that is written on His garments and on His thigh. This seals with divine authority on the revelation of purpose & the power of a writing. From these divine gestures and symbols we conclude that writing is spiritually definitive and final.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the profound revelation that what is written is true and a source of blessing. I pray for the grace to write down every blessing and every promise from Your Word for my life, so that I may see them become a tangible reality, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am a blessed person because my name is written in the Book of Life! I write down the blessings of God and I declare them over my life, my family, and my ministry! What I write is established, and it is a source of blessing for all who read it. My life is a testament to the power of the written word!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: The Books of Eternal Judgment

Study The Word

Revelation 20:12 & 15
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works… 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

This is probably one of the most sobering and profound examples of the purpose & power of writing in all of scripture, all of eternity and all of the entirety of the existence of mankind. The Apostle John sees a vision of the Great Throne Of Judgment, where all “the dead” are standing before God.  And the Scripture says, “the books were opened”. There are books that record the works and deeds of every single person. Think about it.

The eternal destinies of all mankind are going to be based and decided upon based on that which is written in the book of life.  The book of life has to be the most important book of writing of all time. The bible says that the judgment of all is going to be carried out according to what is written in those books. Think about that! The final verdict is not based on memory, or on what someone said, but on what is meticulously written in the books that are in heaven even as we speak…or as you read.  Dear God! So sobering.  Then, the Scripture says “another book… the book of life”.
This is the most critical book of all! Why? Because the final, unchangeable, and eternal destiny of every person is determined by whether their name is “written in the book of life” or not. INCREDIBLE! The final judgment is not a debate; it is a check of the written record. If your name is not found written in that book, you have no hope.

This tells us that the most important thing in all of creation, more valuable than any possession, any achievement, or any earthly record, is only going to be concluded forever and all eternity with writing.  Question? Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? This is all that matters after this realization. This is the ultimate act of writing that will determine your eternal destiny. It’s a testament to the enduring, absolute authority of the written record in heaven. Hence through this month we’ve been emphasizing how if it’s written, it’s final.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the grace of salvation through Jesus Christ, which has made it possible for my name to be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I am so grateful that my eternal destiny is secure, not because of my works, but because of what is written in that book by the power of Your grace, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
My name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life! My eternal destiny is sealed and secure! I am not judged by the books of my works, for my name is in the Book of Life! I walk in the consciousness of my eternal destiny in Christ, and I live my life to honor the One who wrote my name there! Hallelujah!

The Purpose & Power Of Writing: Writing All Things New

Study The Word

Revelation 21:5
“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.“

Ok, let’s just say there was a little bit of doubt about the creative power of writing, even though I know that there isn’t any by now.  This verse accompanied with the ones that I have revealed in this series should completely demolish whatever leftover doubts you have!  Look at this – God, the One who sits on the throne and makes all things new, is giving a profound declaration about the new heaven and the new earth. He is literally recreating the universe, and the first thing He does after making this declaration is to say, “Write: for these words are true and faithful”.

Why would God, the one who speaks and things are created, command John to write? It’s because He is modeling to us, His children, the principle by which He operates. He doesn’t just speak it and leave it to chance; He establishes it by having it written down, thereby making it irreversible reality. This is the very same principle we are to follow in our own lives! When God gives you a vision, an inspired idea, or a prophetic word, what must you do? You must “Write: for these words are true and faithful.”.

That is the purpose & power of writing! The act of putting something on paper gives it a permanence that mere thought or spoken word does not have. It transfers a spiritual reality into the physical realm of materiality. When you write something down, you are acting as a joint-creator with God, using the very same principle He uses to create new realities. Your hand, a pen and paper are tools of creation, never look at them the same from this series.  Your notebook is a canvas for your future, and your writing is the blueprint for your divine destiny. Start using you divine ability.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that what You speak and what You write are eternally true and faithful. I thank You for teaching me that I can partner with You in creating my life and destiny through the power of writing. I choose to write down the promises of Your Word, my dreams, and my vision, knowing that as I do, I am making them a tangible reality, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
I write my vision; I write my life into existence just like my Father! I am a joint-creator with God! What I write, I make real! I speak only what is true and faithful, and my writing is a testament to the faithfulness of God in my life! I make all things new by the power of the written word! Hallelujah!

The Purpose & Power of Writing: The Power of the Heavenly Ledger

Study The Word

Revelation 20:12
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”

This is a profound and sobering picture of judgment. John sees the dead standing before God, and then he sees two sets of books being opened. There are “the books,” and there is “the book of life”. What does this tell us? It tells us that what is written is of paramount importance to God. The word for “books” here is biblion, meaning “a book, or the book, or a scroll,” and here in it speaks of a written record.
Can you imagine? There is a written record of every human being, every word, every thought, and every action. All of it is written down and preserved in heaven. This is not some abstract, vague idea; it is a tangible, written reality. God keeps perfect records, and everything is meticulously written down. He is the God of documentation! He doesn’t just remember; He writes it.

βιβλίον bibliona bible  –  a book, a scroll

This is why your salvation is so secure. Your name is not just mentally remembered by God; it is written down in a book, the “book of life”. When you accepted Jesus Christ, your name was permanently recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The same way the books are opened to judge the dead, that same principle guarantees that your name is written down for all eternity. It is sealed in a divine, permanent record.  Revelation 21:27 “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”
Here we see another profound truth: the purpose of the Book of Life is to establish who has access to the New Jerusalem. Those whose names are written in the book have guaranteed access. What an incredible blessing! You are trusting in a divine, written decree. Your access to the new heaven and new earth is secured because your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Eternal destinies are dependent on what is written, that’s extremely profound, regarding the purpose and power of writing.  This further solidifies then eternal relevance and importance of writing.

This should give you an unshakeable confidence in your salvation. It should anchor you in the knowledge that your destiny is not random or uncertain; it is secured and recorded in heaven. The permanence of God’s writing is a testimony to the permanence of your salvation. It’s a reminder that your name is so important to God that He wrote it down.

What do you have to worry about? Sickness, death, or any other earthly challenge has no power over you because your destiny is no longer on this earth. Your name is written in heaven, in the greatest book of all, and it cannot be erased. Hallelujah!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your profound wisdom in keeping a written record, and for the incredible truth that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I thank You for the security of my salvation, which is not based on my feelings but on the permanent, unchangeable truth that You have sealed me with the Spirit and recorded my name in heaven. I praise You for Your mercy and grace in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
My name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life! I am a citizen of the New Jerusalem, and my access is guaranteed and secured by what is written in heaven. What’s written is eternal, so my destiny is eternally sealed with Christ. My life is not bound by the books of this world, but by the book in heaven! Glory to God!

The Purpose & Power of Writing: What Is Written Must Be Fulfilled

Study The Word

Revelation 19:9 ”
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”

Again and again, Jesus and His angels are commanding John to write. The angel tells John to “write” the divine truth about those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And then he emphasizes, “These are the true sayings of God”. There is no higher authority than what is written by God, or what is commanded to be written by Him. What is written is the final word; it is the sealed decree.

graphō  write –  inscribe, engrave, write, describe

The word for “write” is graphō, and it means “to inscribe”, “to engrave”, or “to describe”. The word for “written” in Revelation 19:16 is gegrammenos, a perfect passive participle, indicating a completed action of writing with lasting results. It means “that which has been and will remain written”. This shows us that in the Kingdom of God, what is written has a permanence and an authority that cannot be challenged.

Think about this: on Jesus’s thigh and vesture is a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16). It’s a permanent, unchangeable declaration of His authority. And the bible says that it has been tattooed on His thigh. And then, in the same application of the purpose & power of writing, Jesus commands John to write the things He is revealing. What is written is established as an eternal truth glory to God.  Revelation 21:5 “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Glory to God! What are you going to write about you life, your glorious future?  You cannot afford to go through another day with a plainly documented, written purpose and plan for your life; the life and prophecies and visions that God has given you.  Not after you have discovered the purpose and power of this eternal principle.

γεγραμμένος  gegrammenos  written  –  a completed action with lasting results, that which has been and will remain written.

The voice from the throne, which is the Lord Jesus Himself, makes a powerful declaration: “Behold, I make all things new”. And immediately after this, what does He say? He says, “Write: for these words are true and faithful”. Do you see the pattern here? What is spoken is powerful, but what is written is established, in earth and in heaven. It translates into a spiritual evidence and record, a divine decree that is formalized and cannot be changed.

This is the principle you need to adopt for your own life. If you have a prophetic word, if you have a vision, if you have a goal, put the word to work—write it down! The moment you write it down, it is no longer just an idea; it is a permanent, physical record that can only now be enacted and brought to pass. It becomes a decree that you can operate on, rehearse, and walk towards.  And put together with the other accompanying principles, faith, and faith in His name; there can only be one outcome.

Don’t just think it, don’t just dream it, don’t just speak it. Take that extra step of faith and write it down. You’ll be following in the footsteps of Jesus, who is the ultimate authority on what is written. He is the Word, and He understands and knows what it is to be written and the power of it; and He also commands writing as a non negotiable. Why? Because what is written and what is decreed will surely come to pass.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the divine wisdom in the principle of writing. I receive Your instruction to write down Your Word to me, prophetic words, and the visions You have given me for my life. I thank You that as I do this, I am establishing an unchangeable decree in the physical realm that will surely come to pass in Jesus’s name, amen.

Speak The Word
I operate by the royal decree of what is written. I write my life and my destiny, and what I write is true and faithful. I establish my world and my future with my pen. Just as my King is the Word, and He commands writing, my written words are filled with the power and authority of God to bring them to pass! My written decrees are final.

Baptism Of The Holy Spirit VS Infilling Of The Holy Spirit

Study The Word
Acts 1:5
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Acts 19:6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

There’s a critical distinction many Christians miss, leading to much confusion: the difference between the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. When you rightly divide the Word of truth, this becomes crystal clear!   Jesus, in Matthew 28:19, commissioned His disciples to “baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” This was not primarily referring to water baptism! Jesus’ specialty was to baptize in the Holy Spirit — to put them into Christ, to get people born again! “For by one Spirit are we all baptized… into one body, which is the body of Jesus Christ.” So, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is actually the new birth, being put into Christ through being born again! It’s being dipped into the Holy Spirit, made one with the Holy Spirit.  Now, the infilling of the Holy Spirit is another experience altogether!  Baptizo means to dip into.  Pleroo, the Greek word for “filled,” means to put something inside until it’s full. These are two different things! On the Day of Pentecost, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, not baptized with it, because they were already baptized into Christ through the new birth! When Paul laid hands on the Ephesian disciples who had already believed (baptized into Christ), the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. They were filled!  The baptism of the Holy Spirit is being born again; the infilling of the Holy Spirit is being filled with the Spirit, receiving His power and gifts. Understand this distinction so you can walk in the fullness of both truths!

Pray The Word
Father, I thank You for the truth of Your Word that rightly divides the baptism of the Holy Spirit from the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for my new birth, by which I am baptized into Christ.

Speak The Word
I am born again and baptized into Christ! I declare that I am open to being continually filled with the Holy Spirit, receiving His power and manifesting His gifts, for it is a real experience for me today!

Authority Over Sorcery and Spells

Study The Word
Acts 8:9-10, 13
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God… Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

This is a powerful illustration! Before Philip arrived in Samaria, there was a man named Simon who was a sorcerer. He had bewitched the entire city! Imagine, one man casting a spell over a whole city, influencing their behavior, holding them captive! These things are still happening today – spells on cities, on companies, on families.  But then Philip came! A man full of the Holy Spirit, a man who knew the gospel of Jesus Christ, a man who knew how to use the name of Jesus! When he came into that city, preaching the name of Jesus Christ and doing mighty miracles by the power of the Spirit, it was the end of that sorcery! Simon, the sorcerer himself, believed and was baptized—he was born again! The witch was born again! Glory to God!  Listen, if you are a child of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and you know the name of Jesus, it doesn’t matter if there are witches, wizards, or sorcerers operating in your city, your street, or your workplace! You have the authority! You can declare, “There shall be no witches and wizards flying as long as I’m in this city, in the name of Jesus Christ!” No wizardry, no enchantment, no sorcery can operate where a child of God, full of the Holy Spirit and knowing their authority, is present! One man, Philip, took on a whole city under a spell, and the bewitchment ended! You can do the same!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the authority You have given me over all sorcery, witchcraft, and bewitchment through the Holy Spirit and the Name of Jesus.

Speak The Word
I declare that no sorcery, no witchcraft, no enchantment, and no wizardry can operate in my life, my family, my home, or my sphere of influence! I break every spell and assignment of the enemy by the power of the Holy Spirit and in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ!

Jesus Is Life: Life Is A Person

Study The Word

John 11:25-26
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

Have you ever wondered why with all the technological development and advancements of science, biological science and medical science, with all of that they have been able to accomplish, man has been unable to capture the source of life in a lab and control it and or even give it to whoever they want? Trust me if they could, man would have done it; but life is something that man in all his knowledge and wisdom and technological advancements has been unable to ultimately capture, and or control.

Man can only manage it to the best of his ability, and maybe explain how it works, but he can never capture it, manipulate it or extend it at will, whether in a person, an animal, or even plants.

Some how, somewhere there seems to be an invisible force that controls the life of everything, and nobody knew what or who was or is behind it all until Jesus showed up and said something absolutely unprecedented: “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after they die.”

What kind of person speaks like this? What kind of person makes such audacious claims about life? Listen, only Jesus Christ has ever made such a claim, nobody else in all of man’s existence has ever uttered such bold claims.  And not only that, he backed it up by not only raising the dead, but also by coming back alive from the dead Himself. What a flex.
Now, the reason why man has been unable to isolate life and its source and capture it in a test tube is because life is a Person. The Bible clearly reveals to us that this Person is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. Science has only been able to somewhat explain or describe life but have been unable to capture it, manipulate it or extend it.  And no matter how long they try they will never be able to capture it because this thing called life, that they are trying to capture is a Person.  Whether it is animal life, human life, plant life, sea life, spiritual life, the different kinds of life – Jesus said that He is the source and principle behind every living thing; meaning that He is life – all life – the life. This means that all things live because of Him.

ζωή  zōē  life – life, living, lifetime, livelihood, manner of life, the state of one who is possessed of vitality

Never forget this, the only reason why man and science will never be able to isolate life, to capture life and give life to whoever and whatever living organism in a laboratory is because life is a person – and His name is Jesus. He said “I am the resurrection and the life.”  He is “the resurrection and the life” – “the anastasis and the zōē “. Glory to God!!
Zōē is the life giving source and principle of every living thing.  That is what man and scientists have been trying to capture but can’t; because zōē  is a Person.  He said that He only is the Giver and Source of ALL life, for every living thing-this is Jesus. These truths that He spoke concerning who He was and who He is go beyond religion.  Nobody ever spoke like this, nobody ever spoke like Jesus! This is the crux of Christianity – being connected and being in relationship with the source of life so that we may live. And that life has a name, and that is Jesus Christ. He said “I am come so that they may have life, and have it to the full;” in John 10:10.

Do you understand what this means for you? You are not just connected to some abstract concept of eternal existence. You are in relationship with life Himself! When you have Jesus, you literally have the life dwelling within you. This changes everything about how you see yourself, how you see your circumstances, how you see your future.
1 John 5:11 says “He who has the Son has life”. If you have Jesus, that means that you have life, because life is a Person.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that Jesus is not just the giver of life, but He is Life itself. I thank You that through faith in Him, I have been connected to the very source and essence of all life. Thank You that Life Himself dwells within me, and I am no longer subject to the limitations that science and human knowledge cannot overcome, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
Jesus is my life! He is the resurrection and the life dwelling within me! I am connected to the source of all life – not just existence, but abundant, eternal, supernatural life. What science cannot capture or control, I carry within my spirit. I live by the power of Life Himself – Jesus Christ. Death has no dominion over me because I am united with the One who is Life!

Jesus Is Life: The Last Adam – A Life Giving Spirit

Study The Word

1 Corinthians 15:45
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

This scripture reveals one of the most profound transformations in all of creation – the difference between the first Adam and the last Adam. The first man Adam was made a living soul; but something incredible happened with the last Adam. The last Adam was made a quickening spirit! Do you see the progression? Do you see the advancement? From living soul to quickening spirit!

The first Adam received life; the last Adam became the giver of life. The first Adam was animated by life; the last Adam became life itself. The first Adam could sustain his own existence; the last Adam could impart life and existence to others. What a transformation! What an elevation!

ψυχή psuchē soul – soul, life, mind, heart, the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions

Now, when we understand that Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life”, we begin to see how this connects with Paul’s revelation in 1 Corinthians 15:45.  Jesus didn’t just receive life like Adam did – He became the very essence and source of life! He became a life-giving spirit! A quickening spirit! This means He has the power to impart life, to quicken, to make alive whatever is dead.

And here’s what will absolutely bless your understanding: see, when you were born again, you didn’t just receive life from Jesus – you received Jesus Himself, who IS life! You didn’t get a portion of life; you got the personification of life Himself dwelling within you. You didn’t get life as a gift separate from the giver; you got the Giver of life as your life!  And because of this you have also now become “a quickening spirit –  “a life giving spirit!”

This is why Colossians 3:4 says “Christ, who IS OUR LIFE shall appear….” Not Christ who gives us life, but Christ who IS our life! Do you see the difference? When Christ is your life, then you’re not operating from the limited human existence – you’re operating from the unlimited, inexhaustible life of Jesus Christ!

ζωοποιέω zōopoieō quickening – to make alive, give life to, quicken, to cause to live, to give spiritual life

The first Adam could only sustain himself; but you, connected to the last Adam, are now be a life-giver! You can speak life into dead situations, dead dreams, dead relationships, dead circumstances. Why? Because you’re not operating from the first Adam’s living soul level – you’re operating from the last Adam’s quickening spirit level!

This is why you can lay hands on the sick and they recover. This is why you can speak to dead situations and they come alive. This is why depression, discouragement, and defeat have no power over you. You’re not just alive – you’re connected to the One who is life, the quickening Spirit, Jesus Christ!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation of the last Adam, Jesus Christ, who became a quickening spirit. Thank You that I am not limited to the first Adam’s living soul existence, but I am elevated to participate in the last Adam’s life-giving power. Thank You that Christ is my life, and through Him I can be a life-giver to my world, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I am connected to the last Adam, Jesus Christ, who is a quickening spirit! Christ is my life – not just my life-giver, but my very life itself! I operate from His life-giving power within me. I speak life into dead situations. I am not limited to mere existence – I carry the power of the One who IS life. Through Christ, I am a life-giver in my generation!

Jesus Is Life: The Way, Truth, And Life

Study The Word

John 14:6
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Ponder on the audacity of this statement for a moment! Think deeply about the absoluteness of this declaration! Jesus didn’t say “I know the way to life” or “I can show you life” – He said “…I AM…the life!” Imagine.  Nobody ever spoke like this, nobody ever spoke like Jesus! This goes beyond religion, beyond philosophy, beyond ordinary human understanding. This is a declaration that dramatically alters everything we thought we knew about existence itself.

When Jesus declares “I am the life”, He’s not speaking metaphorically or symbolically. He’s making a literal, absolute claim about His identity and nature. He’s saying that life itself – not just spiritual life, but all life – finds its source, its essence, its very being in Him.

όδός  hodos  way – road, journey, path, conduct, way of thinking

Now, notice the order of His declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He didn’t randomly arrange these attributes.

Jesus Is The Way – The Way that leads to the truth, Jesus Is The Truth – The truth that reveals the reality of life, and Jesus Is The Life – the principle source and essence of every living thing.

He IS the life that the entire world is seeking! That is Jesus, He is not a religious leader. Jesus Is Life.  This means that all the searching, all the striving, all the seeking that humanity has been engaged in throughout history – whether through science, philosophy, religion, or technology – all of it has been a search for Jesus, whether they know it or not! Because Jesus is life, and every living thing is unconsciously drawn to its source.

ἀλήθεια  alētheia  truth – reality, fact, certainty

And here’s where it gets even more revolutionary: “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Why? Because the Father is Spirit, and you need life to approach the Spirit. You need to be alive to commune with God. And since Jesus IS life, He’s not just the pathway to God – He’s the very life that makes relationship with God possible!

This is why man, with all his technological advancement, has been unable to capture life. They’re trying to capture a Person! They’re trying to isolate Jesus in a laboratory! Haha! How can you put the Creator of the universe in a test tube? How can you capture the One who said “I am the life” and control Him with human instruments?

Think about this: every breath you take, every heartbeat, every function of your body – it’s all sustained by Jesus, who IS life. Every tree that grows, every animal that moves, every form of life that exists does so because Jesus, who is Life Himself, sustains it all.

ζωή  zōē  life  –  divine vitality, true life, divine life, God life

This is beyond normal human comprehension, it’s too big for religious Christianity that why they all over social media arguing about theology and never getting to know the Person of Jesus; and such an annoyance to some of us who encountered this Person.  It takes the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s Word to grasp this.

When you born again and filled with the Holy Spirit and you begin to understand this stuff, you realize you’re not just a mere believer or mere follower Jesus “the religious leader(nonsense) – you’ll discover that you’re now a carrier of Divine Life! And, you no longer just have life; you have the One who IS life dwelling within you! Khayayayaa! Glory to God! What a life!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that Jesus is not just the giver of life, but He IS life itself and life Himself. Thank You that in Him I have found not just the way to life, but the God kind of Life.  in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I have the life of God in me. Jesus is my life! I am a member of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones.  Every cell, every bone, every fibre of my being in inundated with the very life of Jesus Christ Himself. I am a life giving Spirit, by the power of the Holy Spirit.  I carry the God Life within me! I am alive with the life of Jesus Christ. No power of death, sickness, or destruction can overcome me because I am united with the One who IS life – Jesus Christ!

Jesus Is Life: Life Is Illumination

Study The Word

John 1:4
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

Take a moment to just think about the connection between life and light? John reveals something profound here – he says that in Jesus was life, and that Jesus was the very life that became the light of men. This is a beautiful revelation of how eternal life functions! Eternal life produces light! That means where there is true life – zōē life, God-kind of life – there will always be illumination, understanding, revelation!

φῶς phōs light – illumination, light, brightness, revelation, understanding

This is why when people encounter the Person of Jesus – who IS life – they receive light! They get understanding! Things that were once dark and confusing suddenly become clear! Why? Because life and light are inseparable! You cannot have one without the other! That’s why Jesus said “I am the Light of the world. He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

There is a light of life and that also means that there is a darkness of life.  What is the darkness of life? The darkness of life is not knowing the real truth about any and every subject and aspect that has to do with life, purpose and existence.  Everything is speculative, nothing is ever sure; but when when Jesus comes in, there is surety of existence, surety of purpose, surety of life. Only Jesus gives to man the surety of life –  not only of the life that now is but also of the life that here after.  Nobody and nothing else has ever given a proven surety of life after death apart from Jesus.
He did this by being raised back to life from the dead. This and lot more is all that the resurrection is about. The surety and certainty of life. Jesus Is Life!
Think about this: everywhere Jesus went, people received light. The blind received sight, the confused received understanding, the lost received direction, the hopeless received vision, knowledge and understanding. Why? Because Life Himself was walking among them, and wherever Life goes, the light of life is present!
Listen, ”I can never walk in confusion! I have the light of life! I can never walk in darkness, because I have the light of life!  I always know what to do, I always know where to go, I always know how to do what to do, because I have the light of life!” I am a source of inspiration; I am a source of divine direction, I am a source of divine insight and truth!

Now here’s where it becomes personal for you: if you have Jesus –  then you also carry light! That’s why He said “You are the light of the world”,  because the same life that Jesus has He has, He has given to you also, and so you now have within you the light of men in your spirit! This means you are not meant to live in darkness, confusion, or ignorance about anything! Your life is now a life of illumination because you have the life-light of Christ in you.

Let’s look at John 8:12 again, He says “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”  So, the light of life! The life that Jesus IS produces the light that dispels all darkness! And if you follow Him – if you have Him dwelling within you – you have this light of life operating within your spirit!
Understanding this means you realize that having Jesus means having perpetual illumination! You have the Light-Producer Himself living within you!

What area of your life needs light? What situation seems dark and hopeless? What decision has you confused? What future seems unclear? Remember, you don’t just have access to wisdom and understanding – you have the Source of all light dwelling within your spirit! The same life that is the light of men is now your life!

This is why as a child of God you should never live in confusion or darkness about God’s will for your life. This is why we should never be stumbling around in spiritual ignorance. We have Life, and that Life IS light! We carry within us the illuminating power that dispels every form of darkness! Glory to God!

Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world.” Why can Jesus say this about us? Because we carry The Life that IS Light! We don’t just reflect light – we carry the source of the light of men within us! How incredible is that? When eternal life is in you, you become a light-bearer to a dark world!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that in Jesus was life, and that life was and is the light of men. Thank You that I don’t just have access to light and understanding, but I carry the Life that produces light within my spirit. Let this divine light illuminate every area of my life that seems dark or confusing. Help me to walk as a light-bearer in this world, carrying Your illuminating life wherever I go, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
In Jesus was life, and that life is the light of men! I carry this same life within me, which means I carry the light-producing power of God! I do not walk in darkness, confusion, or ignorance because the Life that IS light dwells within my spirit! I am the light of the world because I carry the Source of all light within me! Every dark situation in my life must yield to the illuminating power of the divine life within me!

Jesus Is Life: Divine Life In Abundance

Study The Word

John 10:10
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

I love what Jesus said in our opening scripture.  He said “I am come so that they may have life, and have it to the full.” This is Jesus Christ declaring His purpose, His very reason for coming to earth. But notice what He’s offering – this is not just life as in another life; but life that is of God and also the God life abundantly! What we have is the fullness of life beyond the ordinary human life!
The Greek word for abundant here is perissos, which means a life that exceeds some number or measure, over and above, more than is necessary, superabundant in quantity and superior in quality. In other words, Jesus didn’t come to give us life enough to get by – He came to give us life that is superabundant in quantity and superior in quality.

This that you now have as a child of God is a life that overflows, a life that exceeds every human limitation, a superior life that is surpassing the normal human capacity of existence! This life, is not just sustained by the physical, natural, biological nature of human existence; this is zoe, the divine life that has it’s origin and source from Jesus Christ Himself who is seated in the heavenly places on the throne in heaven.
This is where the life that is now in you comes from and gets it’s sustenance from. Wow! What a life!

περισσός perissos abundantly – exceeding, superabundant, superior, overflowing

When Jesus talks about giving us life, He’s talking about imparting His very nature in us! Remember, Jesus IS life. So when He gives us life – zoe, He’s giving us His supernatural life!  There’s no longer anything natural about your life anymore if you are in Christ Jesus. Everything about you and your identity is now supernatural; it is now divine.

This superabundant divine life is about the fullness of His life being manifest in and through you! It’s about His zōē – aionios zoe – eternal life, His divinity flowing and permeating in and through every area of your existence!

In Christ you have the fullness of the divine life! You don’t just have some level of access to spiritual life here and there to supplement “human nature” – you have the source of all life – eternal life in your spirit, pulsating through your body!  You are not ordinary anymore. The life of Jesus is pulsating in you body.

When you get to understand that you carry in you the very divine life that Jesus Christ has, you become unstoppable! You become dangerous! Your life becomes different. When you know that the principle and source of all life is at work in you and dwells within you more abundantly, you can no longer be defeated by circumstances! The challenges of life become bread for you!
You are not meant to live a barely-getting-by existence.
You are not meant to live a survival-mode life. You are meant to live in the overflow of divine abundance! You are meant to be so full of the life of Christ that it spills over into every relationship, every situation, every challenge you face as a victor! So get up and go and win!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the Lord Jesus who has given me His divine life so that we could have and experience His supernatural, abundant divine life today and now flowing in and through me!  I walk in the knowledge and confidence of the fullness of His life flowing in and through every area of my existence today. I thank You Father that because of the eternal life that is in me, rivers of living water flow from within me to bless others in my world, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
Jesus came that I might have life abundantly! I have the overflow of the divine life flowing in and through me! I have eternal life within me in a superabundant measure! Rivers of living water flow from within me!  I live in the overflow the very life of Christ Himself! His zōē flows through every fibre of my being, every bone of my body, every cell of my blood, producing only success, fullness and abundance wherever I go!

Jesus Is Life: The Word Of God Is Life

Study The Word

John 5:24
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.”

In our opening verse of scripture, Jesus uses the double emphasis “verily, verily” – which in Greek is “amen, amen” – to emphasize the absolute certainty of what He’s about to declare meaning, that this He is about to say is a guaranteed reality!
So every time you see Jesus say this in the KJV you have to pay very close attention because He is saying that this is of utmost importance, and that this He is going to say now is absolute reality.  So what this means is that whatever Jesus is going to say in follow up to “verily verily” is not something that might happen; this is something that has either already happened, or will definitely when the demands are met; in this case the demand for this is ones hearing His Word and believing on Him that sent Him.
Remember we defined believing before from the Greek word translated to believe which is “to think to be true”.  And in this portion of scripture Jesus says the person that does this “verily verily” or “most assuredly”, “has everlasting life, and shall  not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life”.  Jesus assures that this happens the moment that you believe!

Look at the tenses being used here: “IS passed from death unto life”.  The Greek tense here indicates a completed action – you have already passed, you have already crossed over! “IS passed!”
This isn’t talking about something that will happen when you die physically; this is talking about something that happened the moment you believed! You have already passed from the realm of death into the realm of life! Haha! Nobody has ever spoke with such surety about these things like Jesus did.

μεταβαίνω metabainō passed – to go over, pass over, remove from one place to place into another

But here’s where it gets incredible: remember that Jesus IS life. So when He says you have passed from death unto life, He’s saying you have crossed over from the realm where Jesus is absent to the realm where Jesus is present and dwelling within you! Hey! Jesus is dwelling with me presently! I am never alone!  Even if you look around me and think that I am alone, you are mistaken, I am never alone! Jesus is always present with me!

This means that the moment I believe, I don’t just receive the gift of eternal life – I receive the Person who IS life, my eternal companion, for this life and for the life hereafter! I don’t just get forgiveness of sins – you get a new spirit with a new life, Jesus Himself taking up residence in me through the Holy Spirit! I am not alone! I have Jesus with me. I didn’t just get a ticket to heaven – I have heaven’s Life-Giver living within me right now!

ζωή zōē life – divine life, the life that Jesus IS, unending life

Remember what we said in the previous articles how the word for life that Jesus said He gives us is zōē – and it’s the same word Jesus used when He said “I am the way, the truth and the life.”  So this is not bios – biological life or psuchē – soul life(mind, will, emotions) – this is zōē, the divine life, the God-kind of life, the very life that Jesus has and the very life that Jesus IS!  So, when you believed in Him, He says that you received zōē! You received the life that belongs to God! That life of God – aionios zōē – eternal life! You received the life that Jesus Himself possesses! You have in you right now!

This is why Jesus could say with such confidence that whoever believes “shall not come into condemnation.” How can there be condemnation when you possess the life of Jesus Himself dwelling within you? How can there be judgment when the Judge has taken up residence in your spirit? How can there be death when the Resurrection and the Life is living within you? You see, how those “judgement begins in the house of God” preachers don’t understand?  Because they do not understand who Jesus said they are; they do not understand their identity in Christ; but they think they do.  So they about preaching doom gloom and judgement to the children of God. They just don’t understand but one day they will. So don’t mind them –  focus on what Jesus said and you’ll be alright.

Notice something more; Jesus also didn’t say “will have” everlasting life – He said “hath” everlasting life! Present tense! That means that you have everlasting life now! This everlasting life is not something you’re waiting to receive when you die – it’s something you possess right now!
1 John 5:11-12 says “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” Do you see it? This life IS in the Son – Jesus Christ, and if you have the Son, you have the life – zōē!
Aionios zōē! Eternal life!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that the moment I believed, I passed from death unto life  Thank You Father that I have pulsating in me the Person who IS life Jesus Christ through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit dwelling within me right now. I thank You that I have already crossed over from the realm of death into the realm of divine life, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word

I have passed from death unto life! I have crossed over from the realm where Jesus is absent to the realm where Jesus dwells within me! I have everlasting life in my spirit! I possess zōē – the divine life, the God-kind of life – right now! There is no condemnation for me because Jesus by the Holy Spirit dwells within me! I have eternal life – I have it now because I have Jesus, and Jesus IS my life!

Jesus Is Life: The Author & Giver Of Life

Study The Word

John 10:28
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”

Jesus declares here with absolute authority: “I give unto them eternal life”.  But remember what we’ve learned – Jesus IS life! So when He says “I give unto them eternal life”, He’s actually saying “I give unto them Myself!”  Now, the eternal life He gives is not separate from who He is – the eternal life He gives IS who He is! Therefore if you have eternal life, then you have Jesus.

This is the truth that changes everything: you don’t just receive eternal life from Jesus – you receive the person of Jesus Himself, who IS eternal life dwelling within you because the gift of eternal life and the Giver are one!

αἰώνιος aiōnios eternal – eternal, everlasting, without beginning or end, that which always has been and always will be

And then He makes this incredible statement: “they shall never perish”.  Why can Jesus make such an absolute guarantee to us? Jesus can make this guarantee because He IS life and the Author of it! How can eternal life perish? How can the Source of all existence cease to exist? It’s impossible! And since He IS your life, and He dwells within you, how can you perish? You cannot perish because you carry the One who cannot perish! John 3:16 He says “…whosoever believes in Him SHOULD NOT PERISH but have aionios zoe”! This is a law. You are exempt from perishing if you have aionios zoe.

Our opening verse goes further and says:

“Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand”.  What kind of security is this? What kind of protection? It’s the security of being held by creator, originator and sustainer of Life Himself! It’s the protection of being in the grasp of the One who IS the source of all existence! No force in heaven, earth, or hell can separate you from Jesus! He is life!

This is why science has been unable to control life. This is why technology cannot manufacture life. This is why human wisdom cannot capture life. They’re dealing with Jesus – the eternal, uncreated, self-existing Life of God! You cannot manipulate the One who spoke the universe into existence! You cannot control the One who holds all things together by the Word of His power!

And here’s what this means for you: since Jesus, who IS eternal life, dwells within you, there is no expiration date on your divine purpose! There is no limitation on your God-given potential! There is no ceiling on what God can do through your life because you carry the very essence of aionios zoe – eternal life Himself!

διδωμι didōmi give – to give, to grant, to supply, to furnish

The eternal life that you have of Him is not just life that lasts forever – it’s His own eternal, uncreated, self-sustaining life! It’s the very life that existed before time began and will continue after time ends! This is the life that now pulsates within your spirit! Think deeply about this for a moment; don’t rush over this.

Because when you truly grasp this truth, you realize that every limitation you’ve accepted, every defeat you’ve tolerated, every insufficiency you’ve accommodated is completely contradictory to the nature of the One who lives within you. You carry Eternal Life Himself! You carry the One who gives life and has the power to sustain all life! Do you understand what that means?

The same Jesus who said “I am the resurrection and the life” is the same Jesus who now lives within you. The same power that defied death and conquered the grave is the same power – no, the same Person – who now dwells in your spirit! You are blessed; you are blessed!!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You that Jesus gives me eternal life, and that eternal life IS Jesus Himself dwelling within me. Thank You that I shall never perish and am exempt from perishing because I carry the One who cannot perish. Thank You that no force can pluck me from His hand because I am held by Life Himself, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
Jesus has given me eternal life, and that eternal life IS Jesus Himself! I shall never perish because Life Himself dwells within me! No man can pluck me from His hand because I am held by the Source of all life! I carry eternal, uncreated, self-sustaining life within me. Every limitation must bow to the Eternal Life I carry – Jesus Christ!

Jesus Is Life: He Who Has The Son Has Life

Study The Word

1 John 5:11-13
“And this is the record, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.”

The book of 1 John reveals to us one of the most extraordinary truths about life that has ever been revealed: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” Do you see what this is saying? Life is not something that exists independently and then Jesus gives it to you. No! JESUS is life! The life that God gives us is not separate from His Son – the life IS His Son – JESUS IS LIFE!

When you have Jesus, you don’t just receive life from Him – what you receive is Him and in Him life IS! When the scripture says “he that hath the Son hath life,” it’s not saying if you have the Son plus if you have life. It’s saying that having the Son means having life because the Son – Jesus IS life! This is mind-blowing when you really get it!

αἰώνιος aiōnios eternal – eternal, everlasting, without beginning or end, that which always has been and always will be.

This is why Jesus could declare with such absolute authority: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish” (John 10:28). This is life talking! He’s not reaching into some heavenly storehouse to hand out portions of life. No, Jesus IS the very life He’s giving! When He gives eternal life, He’s giving Himself!
Now you can understand what Jesus meant when He said ”I AM the vine, you are the branches”.  The vine and the branches have the same life!
Understanding your identity is very important; when you understand this stuff you will not go around preaching judgement and condemnation to God’s people. Rather you go about teaching them who they truly are.

Man in all his attempts to isolate and control life will never be able to, simply because life is not a force of living, life is not an experience of existence, life is a person – and His name is Jesus. Scientists can study biological processes, they can understand cellular functions, they can even manipulate genetic codes, but they cannot create life because life cannot be manufactured – life can only be imparted by the One who IS life!

And here’s what this means for you practically: every area of your life that seems dead, every dream that appears lifeless, every situation that looks hopeless – you have the answer dwelling within you! You don’t need to search for life, you don’t need to strive for vitality, you don’t need to work to generate energy or motivation. You carry life Himself! Jesus is the resurrection and the life!

Is your business struggling? Speak to it with the authority of one who carries aionios zoe – eternal life! Are your relationships strained? Minister life into them from the life of God that dwells within you! Are you facing health challenges? Remember that the One who IS life lives in your spirit, soul and body and that life cannot be contained or limited by physical ailments and circumstances!

This is why the scripture says “that ye may know that ye have aionios zoe – eternal life.” Not that you will have it someday, not that you’re working toward it – “that ye may know that ye have aionios zoe” NOW.  You HAVE it now! And this eternal life is not just duration without end – it’s the quality, superiority, nature, and the very essence of God Almighty living within you! The life is superabundant in quantity and superior in quality!

You see, when you truly understand that Jesus IS life, and that He dwells within you through the Holy Spirit, it becomes impossible to live defeated, discouraged, or depressed. How can you be lifeless when aionios zoe is in you? How can you ever think defeat or hopelessness or be powerless when the very source of all power and vitality is pulsating in your spirit? From today, activate the divinity that is in you through speaking in tongues and meditating on the scriptures about eternal life; and experience eternal life saturate and permeate your entire being.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me eternal life, and I thank You that this life is Your Son Jesus Christ Himself. Thank You that I don’t just have access to life – I have Life Himself dwelling within me. Thank You for the assurance that because I have the Son, I have life – not just existence, but His very life as my life, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word
I have the Son, therefore I have life! Not just any life, but eternal life – the very life of Jesus Christ Himself! Life is not something I’m striving for – Life is Someone I carry within me. Jesus, who IS life, is my life! Every dead situation in my path must respond to the Life I carry. I speak life because I have Life Himself – Jesus Christ – dwelling within me!

Colossians 1:16-17
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

Our opening scripture, Colossians chapter 1 says that all things were created by Him and for Him. The Him that this verse contextually is referring to is Jesus Christ; He is life – He – Jesus is the Creator and Source of it all! When we get this understanding, that Jesus IS life, the opening passage now elevates the implications of who Jesus truly is into another dimension.

The revelation that He is the One that created all things – and that He is life, meaning that He is the sustaining principle behind every living thing transforms your relationship with Him! It transforms and solidifies further your faith and trust in Him

Lets look at this carefully, it says “by him all things consist.”  Wow! Now the Greek word for “consist” is synistemi, which means to hold together, to sustain, to maintain existence. This means that right now, at this very moment, every living thing in creation has life and exists being sustained and held together by Jesus! And then it goes on to say “whether it be visible or invisible…principalities, powers and dominions”. That means even all the spiritual beings in the spiritual world with spiritual life; both angels and demons, heyyy!!! Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the reason and purpose for being for all things.

συνίστημι synistemi consist – to hold together, to sustain, to maintain existence, to continue

Whether it is animal life, human life, plant life, sea life, spiritual life all the different kinds of life – Jesus said that He is the source and principle behind every living thing; meaning that He is life for all.
This means that all things, visible and invisible live and exist because of Him. Every creature that moves, every plant that grows, every cell that divides, every heart that beats, every angel, every demon, Jesus Christ created and sustains it all. This is who Jesus is!

Now think about this incredible truth: scientists can study life, they can describe biological processes, they can understand how systems work, but they cannot create life from nothing. They cannot take lifeless matter and breathe life into it. Why? Because life is not a chemical reaction, life is not a biological process – life is a Person, and His name is Jesus!

This is why when God breathed into Adam the breath of life, Adam became a living soul. The substance and the essence of the breath and the breather is Jesus – the life imparting Himself into the lifeless clay that became Adam.  And now also, through the gospel, being born again, that same life – Jesus – is now imparted into your human spirit making you a new creature! (2 Corinthians 5:17)  You are no longer just alive as a living soul; you are now made alive with the resurrection life of Jesus Christ in your human spirit!

Now, here’s where this gets absolutely incredible for your daily living: if Jesus, the life, is dwelling within you, then sickness, disease, depression, and death have no legitimate claim over you! Why? Because you’re no longer operating from mere human life – you’re operating from the resurrection life of Jesus! You’re not subject to the limitations of biological life anymore – you’re connected to the resurrection, eternal, supernatural, inexhaustible life of Jesus Christ!

κτίζω ktizō created – to create, to make, to form, to bring into existence

This means that every challenge you face, every obstacle in your path, every seemingly impossible situation – it all bows to the One who IS the life dwelling within you! Sickness cannot stay in a body that houses aionios zoe – eternal life – the life! Depression cannot remain in a mind connected to the life – eternal life. Poverty cannot persist in the life of one who carries aionios zoe!  If your life looks dark, stagnant and hopeless don’t panic; you now have in you the essence and the power to recreate your life.

Are you beginning to see who you are? Are you beginning to understand what you carry? You don’t just have life – you have aionios zoe – eternal life! You don’t just have access to life – you carry the Source of life within your spirit! This changes everything about how you approach every day, every challenge, every opportunity! You are not ordinary!  The day you received Jesus Christ, you seized to be ordinary.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that Jesus, who IS life, is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Thank You that He dwells within me, not just as my Savior, but as my life. I thank You for giving me eternal life in Christ, I am not subject to the limitations of mere human existence, in Jesus name, amen.

Speak The Word
Christ IS my life, He dwells within me! I am not just alive – I am alive with the life of Christ! By Him all things were created, and by Him all things consist – including my life! Every cell in my body is sustained by eternal life. I operate from this unlimited, eternal, supernatural life within me. All things live because of Christ, and I live because Christ IS my life!

Jesus Is Life: Life And Incorruption

Study The Word

2 Timothy 1:10 KJV
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality incorruption to light through the gospel:

Beyond abolishing death, the first appearing of Jesus Christ brought something else magnificent to light: life and incorruption! The King James Version translates ‘aphtharsia’ as ‘immortality,’ but the accurate translation is ‘incorruption’. Aphtharsia is not immortality, aphtharsia is incorruption and there’s a difference between the two.  You receive life – zoe and incorruption – aphtharsia when you hear the Gospel, receive it, believe it and you are born again and instantly brought into eternal life! You human spirit is now connected or in union with God. With the new birth you were brought into the realm of incorruption! Corruption is when the human spirit is separated and disconnected from God. This is called spiritual death.

ἀφθαρσία  aphtharsia  incorruption (immortality) – incorruptibility, unending existence

 Incorruption is what addresses the issue of spiritual death and the corruption of the human spirit; whilst immortality addresses the issue of physical death and the corruption of the physical body.  Incorruption is that state when the human spirit is brought back to life from spiritual death with the life of God through “being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of God.” (1 Peter 1:23). This regeneration of the human spirit from spiritual death to eternal life also has an impact on the soul and the physical body which also overpowers the effects of mortality causing both the spirit, soul and body to transform and become incorruptible. 

Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

The key thing that the word in the scripture above tells us here is that corruption and incorruption is dealing with the spirit/soul and its destination and what should happen to it in that realm of the spirit world; i.e. is the spirit dead – meaning is the spirit separated from God?  This state of being spiritually dead condemns that spirit to hell which is what is described in the word as corruption.  Or is the spirit born again – united and alive unto God? This connects that human spirit to the living God who is in heaven for a life with God in heaven which is what is described in the word as incorruption. That is the state that every born again child of God is currently living in – incorruption.

So, clearly we have not obtained immortality yet; but in order for your body to be transformed into immortality at the second appearing of Jesus Christ, your spirit must come out of the state of corruption (separation from God) first through the gospel into incorruption and then only can you be changed from incorruption to immortality.  The Apostle Paul describes this process of our salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:53 – 54 and says “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

.
When you study Genesis chapter 3 you discover that Adam died two deaths – he died spiritually first and then he died physically years later(Genesis 5:5). Jesus, when He was hanging on the cross also died two deaths.

He died spiritually first when He cried out “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” (Matthew 27:46) He was made sin and God the Spirit separated Himself from Jesus.  Only then would it be possible for Him to die physically, and shortly after at His own will He gave up His own life to physical death.  Now incorruption and immortality together deal with both these issues in that order – incorruption to deal with spiritual death through the gospel and immortality to deal with physical death at the second appearing of Jesus Christ; you get it now? Great!

The Word of God says “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23).  Corruptible seed has to do with a life that is spiritually dead – meaning separated from God. Everyone born into this world from the seed of a man is born of corruptible seed, therefore born into corruption – separated from God. And to correct that our opening scripture says that through the gospel we can receive eternal life and incorruption being born again of incorruptible seed.

So we’ve learnt that incorruption has to do with a life of oneness with Him being connected to God and alive unto Him through being born again.  And as a born again child of God right now at this very moment you have incorruption at work in you my brother! You have incorruption at work in you my sister! Hallelujah!

 It means that your physical body through the eternal life and incorruption that is now in your human spirit, though it is mortal, is now receiving life from the Spirit of God divine, making it resistant to sickness, disease, decay and every corrupting effect of sin and all the destructive elements of this world! Glory to God! Live everyday in the consciousness of this and enjoy the benefits of aphtharsia – incorruption.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You that through the Gospel and the appearing of Jesus Christ, You have brought life and incorruption to light. I rejoice that Your divine life now mingles with my mortal body, making me incorruptible by Your living Word.

Speak The Word
I declare that I have received life and incorruption through the Gospel! The life of God flows in my mortal body, empowering it with divine resistance to decay and corruption. I am born of incorruptible seed!

Prayers Of The Spirit: What Are The Prayers Of The Spirit?

Study The Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 

When we talk about Prayers Of The Spirit, “what does it actually mean?”, you say.  Now, prayers of the Spirit specifically refer to the prayer points that were inspired by the Holy Spirit and where written for us as a part of the epistles that were given to the church by the Apostles by inspiration of God. You’ll find these as prayers or prayer points that the Apostles wrote as prayers for the church, the body of Christ.
These prayers were not the desires of the Apostles as some people would think but actually prayers that were written by inspiration that the Apostles received from God.

θεόπνευστος theopneustos inspiration of God – God-breathed, divinely given, breathed out by God, given out by God

This informs us that the prayers that the Apostles wrote for us in scripture actually were from God hence we here at WhatTheWordSays refer to them as The Prayers of the Spirit which is short for The Prayers of the Holy Spirit. In other words these are the intercessory prayers of the Holy Spirit for the body of Christ through the Apostles revealing and expressing the manifestation of God’s perfect will for us.

Romans 8:27 says And He that searcheth the hearts knows what is the mind of the [Holy] Spirit, because He [the Holy Spirit] makes intercession for the saints according to the will [the Word] of God.

Therefore these Prayers of the Spirit that we have written for us by the apostles in scripture could be the interpretations of the groanings which can not be uttered of the Apostles for the church, at which point they in-turn wrote them to the churches. These prayers reveal to us the perfect will of God for every child of God.

By knowledge of this a child of God no longer has to be confused or wonder what God’s perfect will for their life is. That search comes to an end. And not only will the child of God have knowledge of God’s will for their life but also they are given to us as prayers that one can pray – this perfect will of God over our lives and begin to walk in absolute fulfilment as sons of God.

These prayers of the Spirit are critical for the child of God’s spiritual development. They reveal to us the will or the Word that God wants to be expressed and manifested in and through us in these last days.
These are the prayer points that prepare every child of God for the rapture, and the second appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. I myself have been praying these over my life for years, and I also used them for my intercessions for the saints that the Lord asked me to pray for over the years.  I still pray these today, and what a glorious blessing they have been.

We have for you a compilation of all of the Prayers Of The Holy Spirit on this platform titled 15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit that you can use as prayer points for your personal growth and also, especially if you are a Pastor or minister of the gospel overseeing or leading a church, you ought to pray these in intercession for your members.  These should be compulsory prayers that you pray for all your members because these prayers are God’s desire and God’s perfect will for His people regarding their personal growth which you have become partly responsible for. It comes with the priestly responsibility of your office.

So, these prayers are not optional, in fact they are critical for the spiritual development of every child of God.  Personalize the prayers not only for yourself but also for your church members and for those that the Lord has instructed you to stand in the gap for.

In our compilation of 15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit, where we have developed a study with personalized prayers and declarations of these Prayers of the Holy Spirit that we go through in teaching and prayer together with you;
make use of this powerful resource daily and begin to see your spiritual development as child of God begin to grow from one glorious level to the next. The power, and manifestation of the Holy Spirit and the Word Of God in and through this resource is probably like non other online prayer resource that you have encountered before, it is life transforming. Take advantage of it.

I use this resource myself even almost every other day because of the blessing it is to me, and the power of the Holy Spirit communicated through it, and I’m sure it will be your experience as well.

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the divine revelation that all Scripture is God-breathed, inspired by Your Holy Spirit. Thank You that the prayers written by the Apostles in Scripture are Your perfect will for my life, revealed through the intercessory ministry of the Holy Spirit. Grant me the grace and empower me with the discipline to use these prayers of the Spirit for spiritual maturity.  Heavenly Father, today I commit to praying them over my life daily, until the appearing of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, knowing that these prayers are backed by His full authority, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word
The Prayers of the Spirit written in Scripture are God’s perfect will for my life! The God-breathed, Spirit-inspired prayers reveal the Father’s heart and purpose for me. I align myself with these prayers as I pray and declare them over my life.  I walk in the reality and manifestations of this will of God everyday. As I pray the Prayers of the Spirit, I am being perfected, thoroughly furnished, and completely equipped for every good work God has prepared for me, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Benefits Of Prayers Of The Spirit

Study The Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17 says
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

In the month of January we’re going to be going through some devotional teaching on The Prayers Of The Spirit. Looking at our opening verse in light of the context of the prayers of the Spirit we find the opening expression which says “All scripture is given by inspiration of God“. Bearing in mind that the epistles where we find the prayers of the Spirit are scripture, meaning that these prayers of the Spirit were actually given by inspiration of God.  To give us a better understanding of this phrase – the Greek word here translated inspiration is theopneustos, which literally means God-breathed! So that means that these prayer points that the apostles wrote for us in scripture actually came from God. They originate from the Spirit of God. When you look at the word theopneustos, you’ll see that it’s a compound word from two words: theo – God and pnuestos – breath. And pnuestos is from the word pnuema which is spirit. Putting that altogether you get a better understanding of the phrase “inspiration of God”. It’s more and very different from the inspiration of an “inspired author or inspired literature”. What it is saying is that the scriptures originate from the Spirit God. They are Spirited by God. That is theopneustos.

θεόπνευστος theopneustos inspiration – God-breathed, divinely breathed, God spirited, divine spirited origin

It means that they were breathed out by God Himself!  Think about this: when the apostle Paul sat down to write to the church at Ephesus, to the church at Colossae, to the churches everywhere, and he wrote these prayers in the epistles, he was not writing from his own thoughts. No! He was writing being driven of the Holy Spirit beyond his usual capabilities to mentally put things together. And the prayers of the Spirit were also recorded being part of the epistles for the church.  So these prayers reveal to us the the very prayers of God for His children which are according to His will!

So, in our focus this month – the writings of the epistles that are “The prayers of the Spirit”, with this understanding in mind 2 Timothy 3:16 goes on further to say: “is profitable” – meaning they produce profit, they are gainful and beneficial. Amazing, so the next question would be, “profitable for what?”.  Firstly, profitable “for doctrine”, the Greek word translated doctrine means for teaching.  Now that means that the scriptures, and in our case study of the prayers of the Spirit are profitable for teaching. So the prayers of the Spirit have the ability of God in them to teach us and train us how to pray in accordance with God’s perfect will. Anyone who participates in praying the prayers of the Spirit is actually being taught and trained by the Spirit of God Himself how to pray according to God’s will, glory to God!

ὠφέλιμος ōphelimos profitable – produce profit, helpful, benefiacial, advantageous

Secondly, it says profitable “for reproof”, but the original Greek word translated reproof is elegchos which means “proof or evidence“.
So the prayers of the Spirit contained in scripture are profitable as proof and evidence. Evidence of the reality of God and the intent of God’s will and purpose for the child of God. They are also the evidence of God’s answer for the very prayer itself that’ll prove that God exists.  So within the prayer point of the Spirit is also the evidence and proof of God’s answer to the prayer. You get it? I pray that by the Holy Spirit you get it. It is very important to get that part. Simply put, it means God always answers the prayers of the Spirit when a child of God offers the prayer to God.  And that answer can also be located in that very Word of God that makes up the prayer. Incredible!

So if you’re one of those people who say “God never answers my prayers”, then the prayers of the Spirit are for you. If you’ve never received answered prayers from God then, God by His Spirit put these prayer points together for you that you can pray and receive your very own experience of answered prayer.

ἔλεγχος elegchos reproof – proof , evidence

Thirdly, it says “for correction“, the KJV translation here is spot on – correction.  That is, correction regarding praying in accordance with His will. Correction in getting you to pray the right way.  The prayers of the Spirit also bring correction into your prayer life as you begin to pray the perfect will of God over your life or the lives of others. You don’t have to worry whether you are praying amiss when you engage in praying the prayers of the Holy Spirit.

παιδεία  paideia  instruction –  education, tutorage, training

Fourthly, he says “for instruction” in righteousness. The Greek word translated instruction is paideia which literally means “education, tutorage and training”. That means engaging in the prayers of the Spirit will provide for you an education in the prayers of righteousness hallelujah! The prayers of the Spirit contain evidence of the reality of God and also give you a tutorage in the manifestation of the righteousness of God. Your spiritual prayer posture becomes aligned with righteousness, and your prayers will produce manifestations of the life of righteousness. If they are the prayers of the Spirit, they can only yield and produce in you the expressions and manifestations of the righteousness of God, and also produce the results that are the manifestations of the righteousness of God.

So, these are the benefits of praying the prayers of the Spirit; it activates the working and expression of the righteousness of God in and through you, and also the righteousness of God being enforced impacting people, things and the environment around you. Take advantage of the prayers of the Spirit and see how your life will be catapulted into manifestations of the word of God.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank Your for the revelation of the prayers of the Spirit in my life. Thank you Father that as I engage in offering up these prayers that are in accordance with Your will, all your purposes and plans concerning them in and through me are fulfilled in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

Speak The Word
The scriptures are profitable and beneficial for teaching and training me, and for providing proof and evidence of the reality of God and provide for me an education in righteousness.

Prayers of the Spirit – Divine Prayer Points for Spiritual Development

Study The Word

Ephesians 1:16-17 (KJV)
“Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.”

 During this month I will be sharing with you something that the Holy Spirit revealed to me many, many years ago as I was studying the Word and pursuing growth in the knowledge of the things of God. In my pursuit the Spirit of God directed me towards what we came to know as the prayers of the Spirit, referring to being the prayers of the Holy Spirit.  And this revelation has been critical, absolutely critical, for my spiritual development ever since.  Critical means that this is foundational knowledge that every child of God must have if they want to walk in the perfect will of God for their life!

Now, when we talk about the prayers of the Spirit, what does it actually mean? Let me explain. The prayers of the Spirit specifically refer to the prayer points that were inspired by the Holy Spirit and were written for us as part of the Epistles that were given to the church(‘s) by the apostles by inspiration of God.  As you study the epistles carefully you’d discover them.  These are the prayers of the Holy Spirit, meaning that these are the prayers that the Holy Spirit, through the apostles, wrote for us in the epistles. These are prayer points that the Holy Spirit, through the apostles, wrote for us being inspired, which also reveal God’s perfect will for every member of the body of Christ!

θεόπνευστος theopneustos God-breathed – inspired by God, divinely inspired, God Spirited

Hence, we refer to them as the prayers of the spirit, which is short for the prayers of the Holy Spirit. In other words, these are the intercessory prayers of the Holy Spirit for the body of Christ through the apostles, revealing and expressing God’s perfect will for us. How amazing is that? Hahaa! Oh goodness! The Holy Spirit Himself has given us prayer points! He has given us a blueprint for prayer! He has told us exactly what to pray for our spiritual development!

ἔντευξις enteuxis intercession – prayer, petition, supplication, a meeting with, conference

Now Romans 8:27 says, “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” You see, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us according to the will of God. When you pray these prayers of the spirit, you are praying the will of God. You are praying what God wants for you regarding your life.
“Enteuxis” – intercession means you are aligning yourself with the divine agenda that God has for you! It means you are aligning and uniting with God in communal conference to make real His Word regarding your life. Glory to God!

Let me take it a step further. Now, these prayers of the spirit that we have written for us by the apostles in scripture are the interpretations of the groanings which cannot be uttered offered up by the apostles for the church. Think about it like this: when the apostles were led by the Holy Spirit to pray for the church, they spoke in tongues, they declared, and they got to a point where they started to groan with groanings which cannot be uttered. This was the Spirit of God praying through the apostles according to the will of God! And then when they began to write these letters, hallelujah, they were given interpretations of the groanings! Ayy! You can connect that! You see, at a certain level in your spiritual growth in understanding you’ll be able to connect that!

στεναγμός stenagmos groanings – a groaning, a sigh, an unexpressed feeling of sorrow

So, these prayers reveal to us the perfect will of God for every one of His children. Amazing! Now by the knowledge of this, a child of God no longer has to be confused or wonder what God’s perfect will for their life is. When you get this knowledge, you no longer have to wonder what the will of God for your life is! That search comes to an end! You don’t have to wander in darkness anymore, saying, “Oh God, what is Your will for me? What do You want for my life?” No! The prayers of the spirit reveal it to you plainly!

And not only will a child of God have knowledge of God’s will for their life, but also they are given to us as prayers that one can pray this perfect will of God over their own life and begin to walk in absolute fulfillment as a Son of God! Hallelujah! You find out what the will of God is, and then you pray it into manifestation in your life! This is the divine system! This is how God designed it to work!

These prayers of the spirit are critical for the child of God’s spiritual development. You may have never heard of them. You may have never heard about them. But you’re hearing about them now! So now is the time for you to begin to engage in these prayers of the Holy Spirit. It’s never too late to start. Whatever it is that was never taught to you, that was never revealed to you, that you were never exposed to, whichever part of the body of Christ you have been a member of participating in, it doesn’t matter if they never taught you. It doesn’t matter if they never brought you through this. With the information coming to you now, receive it with gladness! Every time new knowledge from the Word of God comes to you as a child of God, you must be grateful! Glory to God! Hallelujah! Thank God that this information is coming! Better late than never! Hallelujah!

I myself have been praying these prayers over my life for years, and I also use them for my intercessions for the saints that the Lord asks me to pray for. And I still pray these prayers today! What a blessing! These prayers should be compulsory for every believer. If you’re leading God’s people, if God has put people in your trust, these are the prayers that you use to intercede for them for their spiritual development because you’ll be praying for them according to the will of God!

So today, child of God, I want you to understand this foundational truth: the prayers of the Spirit are your divine prayer manual for spiritual development. They are not optional extras. They are not suggestions. They are the inspired, God-breathed prayer points that the Holy Spirit has given to the church for our growth and development in the things of God. When you pray these prayers, you are praying the very mind of God. You are aligning yourself with the perfect will of God. And when you pray according to the will of God, you have the assurance that He hears you, and if He hears you, you know that you have the petitions that you desired of Him! Glory to God!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation knowledge and understanding of the prayers of the Spirit that You have given to the church through Your holy apostles. Thank You for showing me how these prayers are the very expression of Your perfect will for my life and for my spiritual development in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

As I pray the prayers of the Spirit which are in accordance with God’s will He hears me, and because I know that He hears me, I know that I have the petitions that I desire of Him, in the name of the Lord Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 1: Spiritual Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding

Prayers Of The Spirit – You Can Never Outgrow God’s Purposes

Study The Word

Ephesians 1:21 (KJV)
“Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.”

  You see, when you look at this scripture, you notice something powerful: the plans and purposes of God, the will of God for your life, are not only for this world but also for the world which is to come! The will of God for you is eternal! The plans and purposes of God for you are eternal!

Now, why is this important? Because some of you have been thinking, “Well, I’ve been a Christian for 30 years now. What do I have to do with these prayers of the Spirit? This must be for new believers. I have come all these many years with God and never needed these things.” No! Listen to me carefully: even if you’ve been a Christian for 30 years and never knew or heard of this, the plans and purposes of God for every child of God are eternal! So as long as the eternal Word of God has revealed His will for you in this case in the form of these prayers of the Spirit; then that means that everyone is liable to endorse and begin the process of effecting that revealed will of God for your life; no matter how long one has been a Christian for.

Even if you’ve been a Christian for 50 years, 10 years, 100 years and you’ve never known about these prayers of the Holy Spirit, and you’ve never gone through a discipline or a program where you pray them over your life, then it’s even more so for you! And you know what?  It’s not going away! It’s for the life that now is and for that which is to come.

αἰώνιος aiōnios eternal – everlasting, without beginning or end, perpetual, forever

So, this spiritual development, these prayers, this will of God for you that is contained in the prayers of the Spirit is an eternal will.  You need to understand this: it’s an eternal will! The Greek word is aiōnios, means eternal, perpetual, without end, originating and existing in eternity – outside of time! So it does not matter your age. It does not matter how old you are regarding spiritual things. The plans and purposes of God for your life and your spiritual development are eternal! You can never outgrow this! You can never outgrow the will of God! You can never outgrow the purposes and plans of God for your life because they are eternal for you!

Think about this: from wherever you are, no matter how long you’ve been a Christian, no matter how long you’ve been a pastor, no matter how long you’ve been a prophet, no matter how long you’ve been an apostle, no matter how long you’ve been an evangelist, no matter how long you’ve been a teacher, if you’ve never gone through this, these are eternal purposes and plans for you; you are going to have to do so some day.

Another thing to understand when we say that these plans and purposes are eternal, and also considering what we discovered about the scriptures being given by “inspiration of God” also means that the prayers of the Spirit originate from eternity where God dwells, because they came directly from Him glory to God!

τέλειος teleios perfect – complete, mature, fully developed, reaching the intended goal

Now, Romans 12:2 tells us that our minds must be renewed so that we may prove what is that good and perfect will of God. The prayers of the Spirit because they completely contain the will of God means that they are the perfect and complete prayers of the Spirit of God concerning you. Think about that! Wow!
The word “perfect” here is teleios in Greek, meaning complete, fully developed, reaching the intended goal! God wants you to walk in the perfect, complete, fully developed will that He has for your life! So by means of the prayers of the Spirit you will be made fully complete, you will be fully developed and made perfect; thoroughly furnished unto good works!

You see, some people may say, “Hey, I’m a pastor now. What do I need with this?” Hold on! You are a child of God first! Hallelujah! And your spiritual development as a child of God comes first! Your position does not exempt you from the need for spiritual development according to the eternal will of God! In fact, because you’re leading God’s people, you need this even more! You need to know the perfect will of God for your own life first and begin to enforce it through the prayers of the Spirit so that you can lead others into the same!

βούλημα boulēma will – purpose, counsel, deliberate intention, desire, decree

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect. You see that? The purpose is that the man of God may be perfect, may be complete, may reach the intended goal! And this perfection, this completion, this reaching of God’s intended goal for your life, it’s an eternal pursuit! It never ends! The more you grow, the more there is to grow into! The deeper you go, the deeper there is to explore!

So don’t let anyone, including yourself, put a limitation on your pursuit of God’s will based on how long you’ve been saved! Don’t say, “Ah, you know, I’ve been a Christian for 30 years now. What have I to do with this?” No! This is for you! These are eternal purposes and plans! The will of God does not expire! The prayers of the spirit do not have an expiration date! They are as relevant for you today as they were the day you got saved, and they will remain relevant throughout eternity!

I want you to understand that God’s vision for your life is bigger than any single season. It’s bigger than any single decade. It’s bigger than your entire earthly existence! The plans and purposes that God has for you extend into eternity! When you pray the prayers of the spirit over your life, you’re not just praying for temporal blessings or earthly achievements. You’re praying for eternal development! You’re praying for the full manifestation of everything that God has designed you to become, both in this world and in the world which is to come!

This is why the apostle Paul, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, included this phrase: “not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.” He wanted us to understand the eternal scope of God’s purposes for us! He wanted us to know that we can never finish with God! We can never say, “I’ve arrived. I don’t need to grow anymore.” No! There’s always more! There’s always deeper! There’s always higher! Glory to God!

So today, be liberated from the limitation of thinking that spiritual development is only for new believers or for a particular season of life.

 It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what you’ve missed. When the information of God’s revealed written will comes to you, receive it! Better late than never! The will of God is eternal, and you can step into it at any moment! You can begin to pray these prayers of the Spirit over your life right now, and your life will begin to journey into God’s direction! Things will start to make sense! Revelations, thoughts, ideas, the mind of God, things will become clearer and clearer! You will begin to understand the hope of His calling! Glory to God!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that Your will for my life is eternal, extending not only to this world but also to that which is to come. I refuse to limit myself or disqualify myself from Your purposes based on how long I’ve been a Christian. I receive Your eternal plans for my spiritual development today, knowing that I can never outgrow Your will and that there is always more of You to discover. I commit to pursuing Your perfect will for my life with renewed vigor, regardless of where I am in my journey, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The plans and purposes of God for my life are eternal! I can never outgrow the will of God! No matter how long I’ve been a Christian, the prayers of the spirit are relevant for my life today! I am stepping into the eternal will of God right now, and my spiritual development is accelerating! I refuse to put limitations on what God wants to do in my life. His purposes for me extend into eternity, and I embrace them fully. I walk in the perfect will of God, not only in this world but also in that which is to come, in the name of Jesus Christ!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 1: Spiritual Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding

Prayers Of The Spirit: Spiritual Intelligence for Knowing God

Study The Word

Ephesians 1:17-19 (KJV)
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.”

 Today we look at an important aspect of the will of God for you as a child of God: to have spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding! This is paramount in order for you to experience to fulness of the Christian life. Remember, this that the word is revealing to us is not natural wisdom, knowledge and understanding. This is spiritual wisdom! Spiritual intelligence! Spiritual understanding that God gives! Glory to God! And it is very different from the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of men. This is God’s wisdom that is given by the Spirit of God; and because it’s God’s desire for you, it is revealed to us in this beautiful prayer of the Spirit in our opening verse.

The apostle Paul, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote this prayer for the church at Ephesus, and it is for you today! He says, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.” Did you catch that? He’s not praying for you to have more money. He’s not praying for you to have a bigger house. He’s praying for something far more valuable: the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God!

σοφία  sophia  wisdom – divine insight into the reality of spiritual and physical things; application of spiritual intelligence and spiritual knowledge concerning spiritual and physical things

The Greek word here is sophia, means divine insight into the reality of spiritual and physical things! When you have the spirit of sophia, you have the ability to know things as God knows them! You will have spiritual intelligence and spiritual knowledge concerning spiritual and physical things. Think about that! It’s knowing the things that God wants you to know just as He knows them! This is what sophia does for you! It gives you access to the mind of God! It allows you to see things from God’s perspective! It enables you to understand things the way God understands them!

And then he says “revelation.” The Greek word here is apokalupsis, which means unveiling, appearing, disclosure, revealing or uncovering! It’s the revealing of something that was previously hidden, covered or unseen! When you have the spirit of revelation, hidden things become visible to you! Things that were mysteries are uncovered! Things that were obscure become clear! The plans and purposes of God for your life are unveiled before your eyes, and you become fully knowledgeable!

ἀποκάλυψις apokalupsis revelation – unveiling, disclosure, uncovering, manifestation, appearance, a laying bare

The Message translation puts it beautifully, it says: “I ask the God of our Master Jesus Christ, the God of Glory, to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally.” You see that? God wants to make you spiritually intelligent! He wants discernment to be atwork in you! He wants you to know Him personally and accurately, not just know about Him or of Him! There’s a difference between knowing about someone and knowing them personally! God wants you to have personal, accurate, intimate knowledge of Him!

And then the apostle Paul continues and says: “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened.” The word “enlightened” here means flooded with light, illuminated! Your spiritual eyes are to be flooded with the revelatory light of God! You’re not supposed to walk in darkness, trying to figure out what God wants for your life! No! Your eyes are supposed to be focused and clear so that you can know and see exactly what He is calling you to do!

φωτίζω phōtizō enlightened – to give light, illuminate, bring to light, make visible, flood with light

Remember, this is a prayer point. This is a prayer of the Holy Spirit for your spiritual development according to the will of God. This is not something you can achieve through natural education. This is not something you can get from a university. This is spiritual! It requires the spirit of wisdom! It requires the spirit of revelation given by the Holy Spirit! And God wants to give it to you! He wants you to have it,and have operative. That’s why it’s written and revealed as a prayer of the Spirit! So you personalize the prayer, pray it , and God gives it to you!

Now look at what happens when you have this spirit of wisdom and revelation, it says: “That ye may know what is the hope of his calling.” Do you fully understand what is the hope of God’s calling for your life? That’s the will of God! He wants you to know it! He wants you to have it! But in order for you to know it in that way, you need the spirit of wisdom! You need spiritual intelligence! And this prayer of the Spirit has it ready for you to activate it.

And then it says, “and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” That means God wants you to grasp the immensity of His glorious life that He has for you in Christ Jesus! He wants you to understand the riches, the wealth, the abundance of what He has made available to you as His child! This is where you’ll receive a wealth and riches mindset, that destroys poverty thinking and mentality after you begin to operate in this realm of spiritual wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. This is a revelation of the riches and the wealth of His inheritance! Glory to God! No more poor thoughts and poor thinking, just quality thoughts, wealthy ideas from His excellent wisdom, knowledge and intelligence. What a blessing.

And then comes the part that absolutely blows my mind: “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.” The Message translation says, “Oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him – endless energy, boundless, fathomless strength!” Hahaa! Endless energy! Boundless strength! This is miracle-working power! This is the will of God for your life!

God wants you to be acquainted with His endless energy! He wants you to experience His boundless power! He wants you to know, intimately and personally, the exceeding greatness of His power that is at work in you! And this is not just any power. The scripture tells us it’s “according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.”

That’s the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, the same power that set Him at the right hand of God in heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named – that same power is available to you! That same power is at work in you! But you need the spirit of wisdom and revelation to know and understand it! You need your spiritual eyes to be enlightened to see how it works! You need spiritual intelligence to grasp it’s operation!

The Message translation says, “All this energy issues from Christ. God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule.” Jesus Christ is in charge of it all! He has the final word on everything! And this same Jesus Christ has made His resurrection power available to you!

So today, child of God, I want you to pray this prayer of the spirit over your life. Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. Pray for your spiritual eyes to be enlightened, flooded with light, illuminated. Pray to know the hope of His calling for your life. Pray to understand the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints. Pray to experience the exceeding greatness of His power that is at work in you. This is the will of God for you! This is what the Holy Spirit wants for your life! Pray and receive it from today!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of Glory, I thank You for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Thank You for enlightening the eyes of my understanding and flooding them with Your revelatory light. I receive spiritual intelligence today to know You personally, to understand the hope of Your calling for my life, and to grasp the exceeding greatness of Your resurrection power that is at work in me, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God is at work in me! The eyes of my understanding are flooded with the revelatory light and knowledge of God! I have spiritual intelligence to know God personally and to see exactly what He is calling me to do! I know the hope of His calling and the glorious inheritance that He has given to His saints! The exceeding greatness of God’s resurrection power is at work in me, according to the same degree that God worked it in Jesus Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His right hand, far above all principality, power, might, and dominion, in the name of Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Strengthened with Dunamis Power

Study The Word

Ephesians 3:16
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.”

The Apostle Paul, gives us one of the most powerful prayers ever recorded in Scripture.  He says, “that God the Father would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man”—this is a divine bestowal, a supernatural impartation from God Himself being carried out by the Spirit of God that is in you.  And then he says: “according to the riches of his glory.”  So this is not going to be according to the physical strength or weakness you can or usually experience in your flesh. No! The supply of this power is according to the riches of His glory! That means that His granting of this power is proportional to the extent of His own glorious supply of power.

δύναμις dunamis might – inherent power, miraculous power, mighty divine force, supernatural ability, explosive power

The word translated “might” here is the Greek word dunamis, which is inherent supernatural power—power that comes from the Holy Spirit, power that is miraculous in nature, a mighty divine force, supernatural ability, explosive power! This is the same power that raised Christ from the dead! This is the same power that was at work when the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the waters at creation! And God says it is His will for you to be strengthened—to be invigorated, to be supernaturally empowered—with this very power! What a prayer.

Think about this: Are you strengthened with God’s supernatural power? Are you strengthened with God’s miraculous power? This inherent power, this mighty divine force that is given to the children of God by God’s Spirit—is God’s will for your life! If you want to walk in the experience of the power of the Christian life then this is prayer of the Spirit is not optional. And it is not for some elite group of super-Christian-ministers. It’s for all of God’s children.

κρατῶ krataioo strengthened – to be made strong, to be invigorated, to increase in strength, to be empowered, to grow mighty

And then the word “strengthened” is the Greek krataioo, which means to be made strong, to be invigorated, to increase in strength, to be empowered, to grow mighty! So this helps us to understand that this divine strength can increase and grow. And God wants you to be so empowered and strengthened with his might so that you are settled—and made strong and firm in His Word to the point where you cannot be shaken! The Remedy translation puts it this way: “I pray that out of the glorious riches that emanate from his being, and through the working of his spirit in your minds, you’ll be fully transformed into Christlikeness, and so settled into God’s methods and principles that you cannot be shaken.”

God will for you is never to be weak, and struggling, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, by every circumstance, by every trial that comes your way. No! He wants you strengthened, envigorated with His spiritual power in your human spirit to the point where you are settled and can never be shaken! He wants you so grounded in His power that nothing—absolutely nothing—can shake you!

ἔσω eso inner – within, inward, the interior, the inside

And notice where this strengthening takes place: “in the inner man.” The Greek word eso means within, inward, the interior, the inside. This is not about physical strength. So it’s not about external circumstances changing but rather about the capacity of your spirit, your inner being, your heart being so filled with God’s miraculous power that it radiates outwardly onto your physical body and impacting things around you!

This is a part of what Jesus was referring to when He told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they would be “endued with power from on high.” This is God’s will! He wants you to be endued with power! And here’s the beautiful thing: when you pray this prayer—the prayer of the Spirit—you are praying in perfect alignment with God’s will. And what does the Bible say? “If we pray according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, then we know that we have the petitions that we have desired of him.”

So every time you pray this prayer, you can have absolute confidence that God hears you and that you will receive what you are asking for. This prayer ignites a supernatural acceleration in your spiritual development.

I remember when the Holy Spirit began to reveal these things to me. I started to pray these prayers consistently, and my spiritual growth went into top-flight mode, into high-speed mode! Why? Because I was praying the prayer points of the Holy Spirit! And I still do so today—every day, every week, every year. My spiritual maturity, my spiritual development is constantly being accelerated because I pray these prayers of the Spirit.

Let me tell you something: this prayer program, this series of prayers of the Holy Spirit, is like no other prayer program you’ve probably been a part of. And that’s is because of the precision, the accuracy of the Spirit, of how we actually engage and enter into the realms of the Spirit using the light of God’s Word and laying hold of God’s purposes and plans—His perfect purposes and plans for our lives, for our spiritual development—with accuracy and precision! We’re not going round and round and hoping that we will hit it. No! We’re hitting it directly, perfectly! And the result of it is, you will even begin to experience the impact of this power during the prayer, immediately. You begin to be transported by the power of the Word of God into His perfect will of manifested power in your inner man.

Hey! You will begin to see the glory and the power of God work in and through you! The purposes and plans of God will now start to be revealed in and through you like it has never happened with you before! Hallelujah!

The question is: how long are you going to live on the testimonies of the manifestation and the displays of the glory and power of God in other people’s lives? How long are you going to be a spectator when this is for you? This prayer of the Spirit says that this is Gods will, “with all the saints”—so that includes you! God wants you to experience His miraculous power for yourself!

πνεῦμα pneuma Spirit – the Holy Spirit, the divine breath, the supernatural agent of God’s power

The Spirit—pneuma in Greek—is the supernatural agent of God’s power in your life. He is the One who strengthens you. He is the One who empowers you. He is the One who fills you with this inherent, miraculous, explosive power! And when His power comes upon you, you will feel it! You will experience the manifested power of the Holy Spirit vibrating even in your very body! As you embark on this prayer of the Spirit, may this be an occurrence in your life from today! May the manifested power of the Holy Spirit come and vibrate in and through you like currents through your body as you pray.

From today, many of you will be transported into the manifestation of the infilling of the power of God by the Spirit of God! This is the will of God for your life! He wants each and every single one of His children to have that experience! And if you haven’t experienced it yet, keep praying. Come back to this prayer again and again. Make those declarations. Contend for your own personal experience of the manifestation of the power of God in and through you!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for granting me, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with Your mighty, miraculous, explosive power by Your Spirit in my inner man. I receive this supernatural empowerment today and I declare that I am invigorated, I am settled into Your methods and principles, and I cannot be shaken. Thank You, Father, that Your dunamis power is at work in me right now, transforming me into Christlikeness and propelling me into the accelerated fulfillment of Your perfect will for my life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am strengthened with God’s miraculous, explosive power in my inner man! The Spirit of God has empowered me with inherent, supernatural ability that cannot be shaken! I am settled into God’s methods and principles by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am not a spectator—I personally experience the manifested power of God in my life! His dunamis power is at work in me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the name of Jesus Christ!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 2: Strength & Knowledge Of God’s Love

Prayers Of The Spirit: Seize the Dimensions of God’s Love

Study The Word

Ephesians 3:17-18
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height.”

Today we moving right along with the prayer of the Spirit from Ephesians chapter 3, and this portion is absolutely extraordinary! The Apostle Paul by the Spirit prays that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith. Now, the moment you were born again, Christ came to live in you. But Paul is praying for something deeper here—he’s praying that Christ would be so at home in your heart, so settled in your inner being, that His presence becomes the foundation of everything you are and everything you do. And the purpose? So that you would be rooted and grounded in love!

ῥιζόω rhizoo rooted – to cause to take root, to plant firmly, to establish, to make stable, to fix deeply

The word “rooted” is the Greek rhizoo, which means to cause to take root, to plant firmly, to establish, to make stable, to fix deeply. Think about the roots of a great tree—they go deep into the earth, drawing nutrients, providing stability, making the tree immovable even in the strongest storms. That’s what God wants for you! He wants you so deeply rooted in His love that nothing can uproot you! Hallelujah!

θεμελιόω themelioō grounded – to lay a foundation, to establish firmly, to make stable, to strengthen

And “grounded” is themelioō—to lay a foundation, to establish firmly, to make stable, to strengthen. This is architectural language! God is saying that His love is to be the very foundation upon which your entire life is built! Just as a building must have a solid foundation to stand, your life must be established on the bedrock of God’s love. When you understand how much He loves you, when you experience the depths of His affection for you, you become unshakeable! Glory to God!

Now here’s where it gets even more powerful. The Word says the purpose of being rooted and grounded in love is so that “you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height.” You get it? There’s a supernatural comprehension that God wants you to have—a divine understanding of the multi-dimensional nature of His love!

καταλαμβάνω katalambano comprehend – to seize, to take hold of, to grasp, to lay hold of, to apprehend, to possess, to make one’s own

And the he says that you may katalambano, which is to take hold of, to grasp, to lay hold of, to apprehend, to possess, to make one’s own!  God doesn’t just want you to have an intellectual awareness of His love. He wants you to seize it! He wants you to take hold of it! He wants you to possess it and make it your own!

This is much more than head knowledge. This is experiential, possessive, all-consuming knowledge of the love of Christ! The T4T translation says, “you along with all believers may be able to know how much Christ loves us.” And the Remedy translation says your minds will be “enabled together with all the saints to grasp how immense and wide and long and deep and high is the love of Christ.”

Think about this: God’s love has dimensions! It has breadth—it’s wide enough to embrace every person, every situation, every circumstance in your life. It has length—it stretches from eternity past to eternity future, never running out, never diminishing. It has depth—it reaches down to the lowest places you’ve ever been, to the darkest moments you’ve ever faced, lifting you up. And it has height—it elevates you to the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above all principality and power! Hallelujah!

And notice it says “with all saints.” This is not a private revelation for just a few special believers. This is for every child of God! God wants all of His children to katalambano—to seize and possess this supernatural knowledge of His love! How long are you going to just live on the testimonies of other people’s experiences of God’s love? How long are you going to be content with hearing about it rather than personally experiencing it? The bible says you may be able to comprehend WITH ALL THE SAINTS! That includes you!

Remember what Romans 5:5 says: “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” The Holy Spirit Himself pours out this love into your heart!  Furthermore, He is the One who also enables you to katalambano—to seize and possess this divine knowledge in experience!
And this is why it’s a must for every child of God to pray this prayer of the Spirit consistently, contending for our own personal experience of the love of God!

γνῶσις gnosis knowledge – knowing, understanding, intelligence, comprehension, acquaintance

Now verse 19 goes on to say that this love “surpasses knowledge.” And knowledge here is gnosis—knowing, understanding, intelligence, comprehension of natural things; or scientific knowledge. The word of God is saying that the love of Christ goes beyond what your natural intellect can grasp! It surpasses intellectual knowledge! The Remedy translation puts it beautifully: “to know in every fiber of your beings this love that surpasses intellectual knowledge.”

 So this is not referring to studying the love of God in a textbook. This is about experiencing it in every fiber of your being! It’s about having such a deep, personal, intimate encounter with the love of Christ that your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—is saturated with the reality of how much He loves you! Hey!!

When you truly katalambano—when you truly seize and possess the knowledge of His love—you are changed from the inside out! You begin to think differently, speak differently, act differently. You become more like Christ Himself, who is the embodiment of God’s love!

I want you to understand something: being transported into that knowledge, being immersed into that supernatural knowledge, into that divine knowledge of the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge—this is your inheritance as a child of God! Father, I pray right now for every person reading this: transport them into that knowledge! Immerse them into that divine understanding! Let them experience the reality of Your love in a way they never have before in the  name of Jesus Christ!

May the power of the Holy Spirit overshadow you! His miraculous power will grant you the grace to be able to seize and possess the knowledge of the love of Christ! From today, from this moment, wherever you are, you will begin to experience the multi-dimensional love of God—its width, its length, its depth, its height in the name of Jesus Christ! Glory to God!

 This is what begins to be the practical, experiential reality for every Christian who prays this prayers of the Spirit! And when you experience this love, when you katalambano this love, when you seize and possess this love—everything changes! Fear is displaced. Insecurity is removed. Anxiety is driven out. Because perfect love casts out fear!

You are loved with an everlasting love! You are loved with a love that will never fail, never diminish, never run out! And God wants you to know this—not just in your head, but in every fiber of your being! That’s why He gave us this prayer of the Spirit!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, thank You for rooting and grounding me in Your love. I pray that You would enable me by Your Spirit to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height of the love of Christ. Grant me the grace to katalambano—to seize, to possess, to make my own—the supernatural knowledge of Your love which surpasses all intellectual understanding. Thank You, Father, that I am being immersed and transported into this divine revelation of Your love today, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am rooted and grounded in the love of God! My foundation is secure and unshakeable! I katalambano—I seize and possess the knowledge of the love of Christ! I experience in every fiber of my being the breadth, the length, the depth, and the height of His love for me. This love surpasses intellectual knowledge and transforms my entire life! I am loved with an everlasting love, and nothing can separate me from it, in the name of Jesus Christ!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 2: Strength & Knowledge Of God’s Love

Prayers Of The Spirit: Living Showcases Of God’s Fullness

Study The Word

Ephesians 3:19
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”

We’ve come to the pinnacle, the crescendo, the ultimate purpose of the prayer of the Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3. Everything Paul has been praying for—the strengthening with power, the dwelling of Christ in your heart, the being rooted and grounded in love, the comprehending of the dimensions of Christ’s love—all of it leads to this magnificent conclusion: “that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God!” Glory to God!

πληρόω pleroo filled – to make full, to fill up, to fill to the brim, to supply liberally, to abound, to be filled to overflowing

The word “filled” is the Greek pleroo, which means to make full, to fill up, to fill to the brim, to supply liberally, to abound, to be filled to overflowing! This is not a partial filling. This is not a measure of God’s presence. This is being filled to overflowing—completely saturated, totally inundated, absolutely permeated with the very essence of God! Hahaa!

And notice what you’re being filled with: “all the fulness of God.” Not some of God’s fulness. Not a portion of His attributes. ALL the fulness of God! The Remedy translation captures this beautifully: “that you may become living showcases of God’s loving character.” Oh my goodness! Did you catch that?

πλήρωμα pleroma fulness – completeness, full measure, totality, that which fills up, abundance, the sum total

Pleroma is the full measure of all the qualities of God’s character that He Himself has! And God’s will is for you to be filled with this pleroma—with this totality of His divine nature! Glory to God!

The T4T translation says: “I pray that God will enable you to be filled with, and that means have full measure of, all the qualities of his character that he himself has.”  God’s desire is for you to have the full measure of His own qualities! His love, His joy, His peace, His patience, His kindness, His goodness, His faithfulness, His gentleness, His self-control—all of it, in full measure, flowing through your life!

 Being born again, this is possible! This is the inheritance of every believer who prays the prayers of the Spirit and positions themselves to receive from God! Hallelujah!

Now here’s what struck me so powerfully in this teaching: you are called to be a living showcase of God’s loving character! The Remedy translation says it so clearly: “that you may become living showcases of God’s loving character.” You are not just to receive God’s love privately and keep it to yourself. You are to become a demonstration, an exhibition, a living display of who God is to everyone around you!

ἐπίδειξις epideixis showcase – demonstration, display, exhibit, manifestation, proof

A showcase is a demonstration, a display, an exhibit! God wants you to be the living proof of His love! When people encounter you, they should encounter His love. When they observe your life, they should see His character. When they experience your presence, they should experience His nature! This is incredible!

“I’m a living showcase of God’s loving character!” Say it about yourself: “I am a living showcase of God’s loving character!”  This is God’s calling! This is the hope of God’s calling for your life—for you to be a living showcase of God’s loving character!

And notice how this happens: it happens through being filled with the Holy Spirit, through the love of God being shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit, through being strengthened with power in your inner man, through Christ dwelling in your heart by faith, through being rooted and grounded in love, through comprehending and seizing the dimensions of Christ’s love. All of these work together to bring you to the place where you overflow with God’s pleroma—His fulness!

This is why these prayers of the Spirit are so essential! When you pray according to God’s will, He hears you. And when He hears you, you receive what you’ve asked for. These prayers are not going round and round hoping to hit the target. No! They hit it directly, perfectly, with precision and accuracy! And you begin to experience the results during the very prayer sessions! Glory to God!

ἔνοικέω enoikeo dwell – to inhabit, to live in, to make one’s home in, to be at home, to settle in

Lets take it further to when Christ dwells—enoikeo—in your heartHe and He makes His home there. He settles in. He’s not a visitor; He’s a permanent resident! And as He dwells in you, His character begins to permeate every aspect of your life. His thoughts become your thoughts. His ways become your ways. His love flows through you to everyone you encounter.

And like the Remedy translation says that through this prayer, you will be “fully transformed into Christlikeness.” That’s what being a living showcase means—you look like Jesus! You act like Jesus! You love like Jesus! The world looks at you and sees the Father, just as when they looked at Jesus, they saw the Father!

And here’s the thing: this pleroma, this fulness, is not static. It’s dynamic. It’s active. It’s ever-increasing. The more you pray these prayers of the Spirit, the more you are filled. The more you’re filled, the more you overflow. The more you overflow, the more impact you have on the world around you!

His power takes over every aspect of your life! In the name of Jesus Christ, His supernatural power, His miracle-working power is at work in you! Every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, His power is working in you, His power is working through you! His manifested power is revealed through you! He reveals Christ through you through His miracle-working power in these last days!

And this is what positions you for the Rapture! These are the prayers that align you with God’s perfect will! So that when the trumpet sounds, you are walking in the steps of God’s will for your life! You are filled with all His fulness! You are a living showcase of His character! You are ready to meet Him because you have become like Him!

May this be the reality in your life from today. May you be filled—pleroo—to overflowing! May you carry the pleroma—the full measure—of God’s character! May you become a living showcase of His love to everyone around you! This is the will of God! This is the prayer of the Spirit! And as you pray it, as you declare it, as you believe it—it will surely come to pass!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that it is Your will for me to be filled with all Your fulness—the pleroma, the full measure of Your character and Your love. I receive this filling today by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank You, Father, that I am becoming a living showcase of Your loving character, demonstrating Your nature to everyone around me. Fill me to overflowing so that Christ is seen through me in everything I do, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am filled with all the fulness of God! The pleroma—the full measure—of God’s character is at work in my life! I am a living showcase of God’s loving character, demonstrating His nature to the world around me! I am not a spectator; I am a demonstration! Christ dwells in me and reveals Himself through me! I am filled to overflowing with the very essence of who God is, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Principles Of Divine Impartation

Study The Word

Romans 1:11-12 (KJV)
“For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and of me.”

The Word of God unveils to us one of the most profound spiritual principles of God—the principle of impartation.  The Apostle Paul says, I have a burning desire placed in my heart by God Himself to go and deposit something supernatural into you that are in Rome. He says, “that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift.” He didn’t say he wanted to come and just preach to them and just encourage them with nice words. He said he wanted to impart! To deposit! To give over something spiritual into them!

μεταδίδωμι metadidōmi impart – to give over, to deposit, to share, to give, to transfer

 “Metadidomi” means to give over, to deposit, to share, or to give. Think about this: when you deposit money into a bank account, that money is transferred from your possession into the account. It becomes part of that account’s balance. It’s no longer just with you; it’s now in that account, ready to be used, ready to work, ready to produce! That’s exactly what spiritual impartation does! The Holy Spirit wants to deposit, to give over abilities, to transfer the workings and expressions of spiritual abilities to be permanently operative in your life! These aren’t just nice feelings or emotional experiences—these are actual spiritual capacities that become your normal daily operations of your spiritual makeup! So this impartation is to ensure that the expression of the abilities of the Holy Spirit can permanently reside within you.

Paul says the purpose of this impartation is that “to the end ye may be established.” You see, God doesn’t want you to be a weak, unstable Christian, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, shaken by every challenge that comes your way. He wants us established! He wants us grounded! He wants us solid and unmovable! And how does that happen? Through the impartation of pneumatikos charisma, the operations of spiritual abilities and graces, or what the English translations call “spiritual gifts”! Pneumatikos charisma’s are spiritual grace-abilities, or supernatural grace-abilities. These pneumatikos charisma’s that the Holy Spirit deposits into your life are the very things that establish you, that make you strong, that make you effective in the Kingdom of God!

 This impartation is God’s will for your life! It’s not optional. It’s not just for “super Christians” or those who have been in the faith for decades. No! God wants every one of His children to receive impartations of pneumatikos charisma’s. How do I know this? Because Paul, writing by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, expressed this longing, and it was from the Holy Spirit working through Paul! The Holy Spirit Himself is the one that has this desire to impart, to deposit, to give over supernatural grace-abilities to you!

πνευματικός pneumatikos spiritual – supernatural, non-carnal, pertaining to the spirit, divinely bestowed

Now the word “spiritual” here is “pneumatikos” in the Greek, and means supernatural or non-carnal, spiritual. These gifts – abilities that God wants to impart to you are not natural abilities. You can’t learn them in a university. You can’t acquire them through human effort or training. They are supernatural! They are from the Spirit of God! They are pneumatikos—pertaining to the Spirit, divinely bestowed upon you by the Holy Spirit Himself!

Think about this, God is not trying to make you a better natural person. He wants to activate His supernatural abilities into your life! Abilities that operate in a dimension beyond the natural! Abilities that function by the power of the Holy Spirit!

Now, notice what Paul says next. He says, “That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and of me.” You see, when you receive impartation, when you begin to operate in these divine abilities, it doesn’t just benefit you—it benefits the entire body of Christ! There’s a mutual strengthening that happens. There’s a mutual comfort. There’s a mutual edification. Your faith strengthens others, and their faith strengthens you! This is the beauty of the body of Christ functioning as God intended!

But here’s what I want you to understand today: you must position yourself to receive this kind of divine impartation. The believers at Rome couldn’t receive what Paul wanted to deposit if they weren’t willing to receive it. They had to be open. They had to be expectant. They had to position their hearts to receive what the Spirit of God wanted to give them through Paul. Now, your heart posture has to be the same if this is going to work.

χάρισμα charisma gift – divine gratuity, ability of grace, spiritual endowment, gracious bestowment

The word for “gift” here in this verse is “charisma,” which means a divine gratuity or an ability of grace. It’s something freely given, not earned. You don’t deserve it. You can’t work for it. You can’t buy it. It’s a gracious bestowment from God! But you must position yourself to receive it! You must have a heart that is open and expectant. You must have faith to receive what God wants to deposit into your life!

So how do you position yourself? Through prayer; prayers of the Spirit! Through the study of the Word!  Through worship! As you engage in these spiritual disciplines, your heart opens up. Your spirit becomes receptive. You become positioned to receive fresh impartations from the Holy Spirit!

The Easy English version of this passage puts it beautifully: “I want very much to visit you so that I can give some gift from God’s Spirit to you. That will help you to believe Christ more strongly.” You see, the purpose of these spiritual abilities is to help you believe Christ more strongly! To establish you! To strengthen you! To make you more effective in your walk with God and in your service in His Kingdom!

So we have now established and understood that this is God’s will for your life! He wants to receive impartations of divine abilities from the Spirit of God! He wants to deposit and activate them in you, and have them permanently active! And these supernatural abilities, spiritual capacities will establish you and make you effective in these last days! Make up your mind that you will never miss out on everything God has for you. So position your heart today. Open yourself up to receive and be expectant! And as you pray this prayer of the Spirit for impartation, receive in faith and step out boldly exercising the spiritual abilities that you have received through this prayer of the Spirit.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that it is Your will for me to receive deposits of spiritual abilities from Your Holy Spirit. I position my heart today to receive. I am expectant for fresh impartations, for new deposits of spiritual abilities that will establish me and make me effective in Your Kingdom in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am positioned to receive impartations of spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit! My heart is open, my spirit is receptive, and I receive fresh deposits of supernatural abilities today! As I study the Word, as I pray, as I worship, spiritual gifts are being imparted to me, establishing me and strengthening me in my walk with God. I am established by the pneumatikos charisma, the supernatural abilities of the Spirit that have been deposited into my life, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 3: Impartation Of Spiritual Gifts

Prayers Of The Spirit: Excellence Is God’s Will For Your Life

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:7 (KJV) 
“Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.”

On our power filled journey through the prayers of the Holy Spirit, today we encounter something that will absolutely transform the way you approach everything you do daily. The Apostle Paul once again, being moved by the Holy Spirit, is praying for the children of God in Corinth, and his prayer carries within it a beautiful revelation about God’s expectations for your life. He says, “I pray to God that ye do no evil.” Now, you might think, “Well, of course, I don’t want to do evil. I’m not out here committing crimes or hurting people.” But wait—let’s look at something incredible about what “evil” really means in this context! Evil here actually means to do something that is not excellent, or something that is substandard, or of a poor quality.

The Appstle Paul says he prays that you do no evil, “but that ye should do that which is honest.”  The contrast here is not between doing evil and doing good in the way we typically think of it. The contrast is between doing evil and doing that which is honest.  The word translated “honest” in this passage is the Greek word kalos, and it means so much more than simply being truthful or sincere. The word means excellent, admirable, beautiful and magnificent.

καλός  kalos  honest  –  excellent, admirable, beautiful, magnificent, good, noble

 This prayer of the Spirit is to activate and establish in you that you do things that are excellent!  That everything you put your hand to do is that which turns out admirable! That your work, your projects, your assignments and everything that you lay your hands upon to do be beautiful and magnificent! This is incredible! This means that it is the will of God for your life to do things excellently. To do things that are admirable.  So, when you wake up in the morning and you’re about to go to work, before you step out that door, you need to declare: “It is the will of God for me to do things that are excellent today in the name of Jesus Christ! I do the things that are admirable! I do things that are beautiful! I do things that are magnificent in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!”

So the opposite of doing what is excellent, admirable, beautiful, and magnificent is what Paul calls it “doing evil.”
That means when you do a shoddy job, when you deliver less than your best, when you cut corners and produce mediocre work—the Bible calls that evil!  Goodness! That puts a whole new perspective on how we approach our daily tasks, doesn’t it? The Holy Spirit is telling us that mediocrity is not just a bad habit; in God’s economy, it’s classified as evil! That thing you were going to rush through? That project you were going to give half your effort to? The Word of God says that’s evil, hallelujah!

κακός  kakos  evil  –  bad, worthless, wrong, wicked, harmful, base, of poor quality

You see, the life of a Christian is a life of winners! It’s a life of triumph! When you understand that excellence is not optional but is actually the will of God for your life, everything changes. When you’re setting out on that project, when you’re preparing to deliver for that client, when you’re about to present that proposal to your boss—your mindset should be: “This will be excellent. This will be admirable. This will be magnificent. Why? Because this is how the Word of God has framed my thinking!”

The Passion Translation puts it beautifully: “We pray hard that it will all come together in your lives.”  God wants it to all come together in your life. He wants your execution to be flawless. He wants you to be flawless on your job. He wants you to be flawless in your delivery for that client. In the name of Jesus, you are flawless in your execution! Yes!

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: “But Shingi, I don’t have all the resources I need. I don’t have everything together that I require to do things excellently.” God thought about this too and revealed His plan for provision for you to execute in another prayer of the Spirit in Hebrews 13:21 where the TPT says “…may He work perfection into every part of you giving you all that you need to fulfill your destiny.”  Oh, how amazing God is.  So maybe it may not start excellently. You may not have everything you need at the beginning but it has to end up excellent! The will of God for you is that it is done excellently. You are the an excellent child of an excellent God, you do no evil there, hallelujah! You don’t just do a shanty job. You do things excellently.

ἄμεμπτος  amemptos  flawless  –  blameless, without fault, unblemished, faultless, irreproachable

So when people look at and observe the work that you’ve done, the things that you produce, it is admirable. They look at it and say, “Wow, look at that!” Heyaaa! This is the will of God for you in Christ. Imagine this is how your mind is set. Imagine this is how you think every single day. “Everything that I get involved with, I do it excellently. I do it magnificently. It’s admirable. It is beautiful. Why? Because this is how the Word of God has framed my mind!”

 Now make this your confession daily: “I do no evil. I only do excellent things. I do no evil. I only do beautiful things. I do no evil. I only do magnificent things!” Let this be your declaration as you step into every assignment, every project, every task. Excellence is not just a goal—it is who you are, it is the eternal will of God for your life!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for revealing to me that excellence is Your will for my life.  I am an excellent child of an excellent God.  I do no evil—I only do that which is excellent, admirable, beautiful, and magnificent. I reject mediocrity and I embrace the standard of excellence that You have set for me as Your child. From this day forward, everything I put my hand to shall reflect the quality and excellence of heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I do no evil! I only do that which is excellent, admirable, beautiful, and magnificent. Everything I lay my hands upon to do is excellent in the name of Jesus Christ.  Excellence is the standard of my life. Mediocrity has no place in my world—I produce excellent results in my job, in my business, in my projects, and in every area of my life. This is who I am: a producer of excellence, in the name of the Lord Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 5: Grace, Love & Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.”

 This is one of the most comprehensive benedictions in all of Scripture, and it carries within it the secret to how you’re going to walk in the excellence we discussed. You might be wondering, “Okay, Shingi, I understand that God wants me to do things excellently, but how is this going to be working? How am I going to produce excellence consistently?” The answer is right here in 2 Corinthians 13 verse 14: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ!”

Now, when many Christians hear the word “grace,” they immediately think of unmerited favor or God’s forgiveness for our sins. And yes, grace certainly includes that dimension. But the Holy Spirit wants to expand your understanding of grace today. The word “grace” is the Greek word charis, and it carries a meaning that will change how you see yourself and your capabilities!

χάρις  charis  grace  –  divine influence upon the heart, graciousness, favor, gratitude, benefit, gift

Grace is divine influence!  So how are you going to be doing things excellently? How are you going to produce magnificent work? How are you going to deliver those admirable results? And the answer is: because there’s a divine influence in your life! The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ!

When you go to work tomorrow morning, you’re not going alone. Be conscious that there’s something at work in your life. When you sit down to tackle that challenging project, you’re not relying on your own strength. When you face that difficult client or that impossible deadline, you have something that the world doesn’t have—you have the divine influence of the Lord Jesus Christ upon your life! Hallelujah!
So, everything that you get involved with, you will see the characteristics of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ at work in and through you!  And this grace is not passive. It’s active. It’s not just God looking favorably upon you from a distance—it’s God’s divine ability and influence actively working in and through everything you do!

ἐνέργεια  energeia  working  –  operation, efficiency, active power, energy, superhuman power at work

The divine influence, the divine ability, the divine power of the Lord Jesus Christ—it is upon your life and everything that you lay your hands upon to do to make it prosper! Everything with your name on it, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is abundant on it. Everything with your name on it—every project, every business deal, every contract—in the name of Jesus, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is upon it!

Imagine this is how you think and speak about yourself as you go about your life as this becomes your reality: “As I embark on this project, the grace and divine influence of the Lord Jesus Christ is with me. It is upon my life. Therefore this project is going to be excellent. I’m going to perform excellently on this job, on this project in the name of Jesus Christ!” How can you lose?  You see, the life of a Christian is a life of winning and a life of winners; a life of always winning. It’s a life of triumph! That’s your life, so always think of winning. Never accommodate thoughts of losing, they are not for you.  You always win!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in your life. He’s at work in your business. He’s at work in your job. He’s at work in your career. He’s at work in your friendships. He’s at work in your relationships. He’s at work in every area of your life! Glory to God! The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in and through you!

δύναμις  dunamis  power  –  ability, might, strength, miraculous power, inherent capability

This is why you can walk in confidence. This is why you don’t have to be intimidated by challenges. This is why you can declare boldly: “I am backed up! I am sponsored by the divine influence, by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, I only produce things that are excellent. I only produce things that are admirable. I only produce things that are magnificent!”

If I get involved, it’s going to be admirable. It’s going to be excellent. It’s going to be magnificent—by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! On that assignment, it is going to be excellent in the name of Jesus. Whatever I lay my hands upon to do is excellent in the name of Jesus Christ. Why? Because of the grace of Jesus Christ that is upon my life!

Therefore, it can only be excellent. It can only be magnificent. It can only be beautiful. When you’re dealing with that client, in the name of Jesus, there’s excellence, there’s beauty, there’s admiration, there’s magnificence! Why? Because the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is operational in your life. The divine influence of heaven is at work through you Glory to God! Live everyday with this consciousness and see your life glide.

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that is upon my life. I acknowledge that this grace is not just favor, but divine influence—Your active power working in and through me. I receive this grace today and I declare that it is operational in every area of my life. Thank You that I don’t operate in my own strength, but I function under the divine influence of heaven. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is upon my projects, my assignments, my business, and my career, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is upon my life! The divine influence of the Lord Jesus Christ is in operation in everything I do. I am backed up! I am sponsored by divine influence! Therefore, everything I lay my hands upon produces excellent results. When I engage with projects, clients, and assignments, I carry the divine influence of heaven with me. The grace of Jesus Christ is abundant in my business, my job, my career, and every area of my life. I cannot fail because divine influence is at work, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 5: Grace, Love & Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Sweet Friendship Of The Holy Spirit

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 13:14 (AMP)
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

 We’ve explored the excellence that is God’s will for your life and the grace—the divine influence—that empowers you to walk in that excellence. But now we come to what I believe is one of the most precious and often overlooked aspects of our Christian walk: the fellowship of the Holy Spirit! The Apostle Paul prays that “the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” This is incredible, hallelujah!

The word “fellowship” here is the Greek word koinonia.

The first meaning of koinonia is oneness! The fellowship of the Holy Spirit that God wants you to have is a state of oneness with the Spirit of God! What does this mean? It means that the Holy Spirit is now one with your spirit! You have a oneness with Him! Hey, so everything that you do comes from your oneness with the Holy Spirit. Everything that you embark on, glory to God, you’re conscious that you are one with the Holy Spirit in this thing. The Holy Spirit is one with you! That is the koinonia!

But there’s another beautiful dimension to koinonia—it also means partnership! That means that the Holy Spirit is partnering with you in your work, in your ministry, in your life! And here’s what makes this even more powerful: this is a reciprocated partnership! That means that you partner with Him, and in that agreement of you partnering with the Holy Spirit in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the things you’re doing in your life, the Holy Spirit also reciprocates and partners with you. He backs you!

κοινωνία  koinonia  fellowship  –  communion, partnership, sharing, oneness, intimate participation, joint partnership

 I have the backing of the Holy Spirit! That is the koinonia of the Holy Spirit that is with me. That means that the Holy Spirit has got my back! The Holy Spirit is backing me! Glory to God! And I’m conscious of this. Be conscious of this! The koinonia—the partnership, the oneness—of the Holy Spirit is with you!

But now, here’s my favorite aspect of koinonia—it also means friendship! The sweet friendship of the Holy Spirit! Let me ask you a question: Do you have a friendship with the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit your friend? Not just your God, not just your Helper, not just your Comforter—but your Friend? As Scripture says, He’s a friend that sticks closer than a brother!

The sweet friendship, the oneness, hallelujah, the partnership and the friendship of the Holy Spirit—this is what God wants for your life! He’s always been there as your friend, but maybe you have never recognized Him as your friend. In this prayer point, we see that it is now the will of God for your life that the friendship of the Holy Spirit be with you. God’s will for your life is that you have that friendship with the Holy Spirit just like the Lord Jesus Christ had that friendship with the Holy Spirit!

Oh, think about this! You can say to the Holy Spirit: “Holy Spirit, be my friend. Holy Spirit, I want to be Your friend. Holy Spirit, I recognize You as my friend!” He is the friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is the friend that never leaves! Lo, He is with you forever! He is that friend that will never leave you! When everybody else leaves, if everybody leaves, the Holy Spirit is that friend that will never leave!

He’s that friend that encourages you. He’s that friend that supports you. He’s that friend, hallelujah, that strengthens you. He’s that friend that guides you into all reality, into all truth. The Holy Spirit is that friend! Oh, thank you, Holy Spirit!

From today, begin to recognize the Holy Spirit as your friend. Begin to walk with your friend, your eternal friend, the Spirit of God. Be awakened to the Holy Spirit as your friend, as your best friend! The sweet friendship of the Holy Spirit is with you. May your relationship with the Holy Spirit be elevated from today in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

You’ll hear Him when He’s calling. You’ll hear Him when He whispers. You will hear Him when He wakes you up. You will hear Him when He says, “Go this way.” You will hear the Holy Spirit when He says, “Do this project. Do it this way. Don’t say it like this. Say it this way.” You will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, your best friend, clearly from today! Glory to God!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the koinonia—the fellowship, the oneness, the partnership, and the sweet friendship of the Holy Spirit. I acknowledge the Holy Spirit as my friend today, not just my Helper or Comforter, but my dear Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Holy Spirit, I welcome Your friendship into every area of my life. I partner with You and I receive Your partnership in return. Thank You for never leaving me, for guiding me, for encouraging me, and for backing me in everything I do, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The sweet friendship of the Holy Spirit is with me! I am one with the Holy Spirit—we have koinonia! The Holy Spirit is my partner and I partner with Him. He backs me in everything I do. The Holy Spirit is my best friend, the Friend that sticks closer than a brother, the Friend that never leaves. I hear His voice when He calls, when He whispers, when He guides. From today, my relationship with the Holy Spirit is elevated to a new dimension of friendship and intimacy, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 6: Completion Of The Work Of Christ In Us

Prayers Of The Spirit: Divine Partnership in the Gospel

Study The Word

Philippians 1:3-6 (KJV)
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Another amazing prayer of the Spirit revealed to us as the Apostle Paul prays for the Philippian church and he says he’s “praying with joy!”
“Making request with joy”, he says. So there’s something about the church that brings the Apostle Paul tremendous joy every time he remembers them in prayer. What is it? It’s their fellowship in the gospel! What is the word referring to when the KJV says fellowship?  Now, the word “fellowship” here is the Greek word koinonia, and this is where it gets really exciting. Most of us have heard this word before, but in this context, it carries a very specific meaning.

κοινωνία  koinonia  fellowship  —  partnership, participation, communion, contribution, intimacy, joint participation, sharing together

 Koinonia doesn’t just mean casual fellowship like we’re sitting around having coffee together at a cell group—although that’s wonderful too! In this context, it specifically means partnership. The Expanded Bible translation brings this out beautifully when it says, “I thank God for the help you gave me, your partnership, participation in spreading the good news, the gospel.” You get it? These believers had entered into a divine partnership with God in the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

 From the very first day they believed, they weren’t just sitting on the sidelines as spectators. No! They became active partners with God, with the Holy Spirit, and with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in spreading the good news. They participated. They contributed. They shared in the work. And because of this partnership, Paul had absolute confidence that God would complete the work He started in them.

Now let me ask you a very important question: Have you entered into this divine partnership? Have you partnered with the Lord Jesus Christ in spreading His message? Have you partnered with the Holy Spirit in the propagation of the gospel? You see, there are many ways you can get involved in partnering with God. There are many vehicles, many platforms, many ministries, many organizations that are propagating the word of God. You can partner with them! You can be part of what God is doing in the earth!

μετοχή  metochē  sharing  —  partnership, participation, fellowship, contribution, communion

The beautiful thing about this partnership is that it’s not one-sided. When you partner with God in the gospel, something extraordinary happens—God partners with you! He commits Himself to complete the work He began in you. He pledges to fulfill, to execute, to bring to perfection everything He started in you from the very moment when you received Jesus Christ and got born again. This is the divine exchange of koinonia! You give yourself to the communion of the gospel, the participation in the Word of God, and contribution and partnership and furtherance of His gospel, and God reciprocates and gives Himself to the completion of His purpose in your life.

The Passion Translation captures it in this way: “I’m so grateful for our union and our enduring partnership that began the first time I presented to you the gospel.” There’s a union here! There’s an enduring partnership! It’s not temporary. It’s not seasonal. It began the first day you believed and it continues until the day of Jesus Christ’s appearing. Glory to God!

συγκοινωνός  sygkoinōnos  fellow partaker  —  joint-participant, joint-partner, partner together with, sharer

 You are a joint participant, a co-partner with God Himself! You’re not working for God from a distance; you’re working together with Him in intimate partnership. When you share the gospel with someone, God is right there working in and through you. When you support a ministry that’s spreading the word, you become a partner with Him for every soul that’s won, for every life that’s transformed, for every revelation that’s released. Hahaa! This is the glorious privilege of your divine partnership with God Almighty!

Think about the implications of this truth. Every time you participate in the publishing of the gospel—whether through your finances, your time, your gifts, your prayers, or your personal witness—you are activating this divine partnership. And when that partnership is active, you position yourself for God’s confident assurance that He will complete everything He started in you. The grace increases. The knowledge increases. The wisdom increases. The ability increases. The desires increase. Everything you need for the fulfillment of God’s purpose in your life is released through this glorious partnership!

I declare over your life today: “You are brought into oneness with God! You are in partnership with the Father, in partnership with the Son Jesus Christ, and in partnership with the Holy Spirit in the work of propagating the gospel and the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ in and through you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!”
This is your calling.  This is your divine assignment. And as you continue to walk in this partnership, God Himself guarantees the completion of His good work in your life!

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Confidence of Divine Completion

Study The Word

Philippians 1:6 KJV
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

There’s a confidence that the Word of God wants to establish in your heart today. A confidence that is not based on your own abilities, not based on your track record, not based on how well you’ve performed—but a confidence rooted in the faithfulness of the One who started the work in you! The Apostle Paul says, “Being confident of this very thing.”  This is confident assurance based on the unchanging character of God!

Now, I want you to pay very close attention to a key word in this verse. Paul says God “will perform it.” The word “perform” is the Greek word epiteleō, and when you understand what this word means, it will revolutionize your expectation!

ἐπιτελέω  epiteleō  perform  —  to fulfill further, to bring to completion, to execute, to accomplish, to finish, to perfect, to complete fully

This prayer of the Spirit is so rich in meaning and blessing.  To get everything we can from it we need to look at the word “perform” – epiteleō and that word means to fulfill further!  In other words the prayer is to further establish a mindset in you of knowing that firstly, God began a work in you and God is actively at work in you right now.  Secondly, also knowing that He is actively fulfilling it further! He is executing it further! He is bringing it to completion! The Expanded Bible translation says He “will continue it until it is finished, completed, perfected.” Hallelujah! This is the will of God for your life—that the good work He started in you from the first day you believed would be fulfilled further, executed further, and brought to perfect completion!
Today I want you to know that God is not done with you; He is not done with the plans that He has for your life.
Maybe you are thinking that you have gone so far or you are so far gone to the point that God can not do anything with your life again. Listen, He is not done with you!  “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ!”

 God is not a God who starts projects and abandons them. He’s not like a contractor who begins building your house and then disappears halfway through. When God begins something, He completes it! When He starts a work, He finishes it! This is His nature. This is His character. This is His commitment to you as His child.

τέλειος  teleios  complete  —  perfect, finished, mature, having reached its end, fully developed

The root of epiteleō is teleios, which speaks of something that has reached its intended end, its designed purpose, its full maturity. You get it? God’s work in you is moving toward teleios—toward complete perfection, toward full maturity, toward the fulfillment of everything He designed you to be! And He will not stop until you get there!

Now, The Living Bible Translation says, “And I’m sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished.” Did you catch that phrase “His task within you?” This is not your task; it’s His task! The work of transformation, the work of sanctification, the work of bringing you to full maturity—it’s His task, and He takes responsibility for completing it! Glory to God!

This should give you such confidence! Even when you stumble—and God knows we are going to stumble—but God is always, always going to pick you back up! Even if you stumble to the left or stumble to the right, He’s going to complete the work! Maybe you made a mistake. Maybe you drew back for a season. Maybe you say, “I’m going to take a break.” Just remember: He’s going to complete it! Glory to God!  You are not disqualified from His completion! He that began that good work, we are confident that He will perfect it!

πέποιθα  pepoitha  being confident  —  to be persuaded, to trust, to have confidence, to be fully convinced

Taking it a step further, the word “confident” here is pepoitha, and it means to be fully persuaded, to be absolutely convinced. Paul is saying, “I am fully persuaded, absolutely convinced, completely confident that God will complete what He started!”  And this  which he is communicating isn’t positive thinking. This is faith grounded in the character of God and the power and authority of His Word. And this is the confidence He wants you to walk in every single day of your life!

The devil will try to shake this confidence. He’ll bring accusations. He’ll remind you of your failures. He’ll point to areas where you haven’t measured up. But you need to understand—the completion of God’s work in you is not dependent on your perfection or imperfection; it’s dependent on His perfection and His faithfulness! He who began the work will complete it! Stop trying to complete yourself; surrender yourself to the ministry of His Word and whole heartedly trust the One who is completing you!

The Passion Translation says: “I pray with great faith for you because I’m fully convinced that the one who began this glorious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Hahaa!
He will put His finishing touches to it! Like a master artist who never leaves a masterpiece incomplete, God is putting His finishing touches on your life! The grace is increasing. The knowledge is increasing. The wisdom is increasing. The ability is increasing. The power is increasing. The anointing is increasing. You are growing unto maturity, unto the full stature of the fulness of Christ, everything is being perfected!

ἄχρι  achri  until  —  until, as far as, up to the point of

Notice also that God will perform this work “until the day of Jesus Christ.” The word “until” is achri—it means all the way up to that point, without stopping. God’s work in you doesn’t have an expiration date before Christ returns. He is still working in you, perfecting, completing, everyday all the way until that glorious day when Jesus appears. Your transformation is an ongoing, continuous work of grace that God Himself has committed to finish!

So today, receive this confident assurance into your spirit. Stop trying to complete yourself through striving and self-effort. Stop beating yourself up over areas where you haven’t arrived yet. Instead, rest in the confidence that the One who began the good work is faithfully, actively, diligently bringing it to completion. He is perfecting it. He is executing it further. He is fulfilling His purpose in you. And nothing—no distraction, no delay, no detour—can stop what God has determined to finish in your life!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the confident assurance that You who began a good work in me will faithfully complete it. I release every anxiety about my growth, every fear about my failures, and every doubt about my progress into Your capable hands. You are the One who is perfecting, completing, and bringing to fulfillment everything You started in me from the first day I believed. I trust You, Lord. I am fully persuaded that Your work in me cannot be stopped, cannot be hindered, and cannot fail. Thank You for Your faithfulness, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am confident of this very thing: He who began a good work in me is performing it, fulfilling it further, and bringing it to completion! God’s work in me cannot be stopped. God’s purpose for my life cannot be frustrated. I am being perfected, matured, and brought to the fullness of everything God designed me to be. The grace is increasing. The anointing is increasing. The wisdom is increasing. I am fully persuaded that my faithful God will complete His task in me until the day of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Experiential Knowledge of God’s Love

Study The Word

Philippians 1:9 (KJV)
“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment.”

Here is another prayer that the Holy Spirit Himself has put into the scriptures for us—a prayer that unlocks one of the most profound spiritual realities available to every child of God.  Now the Apostle Paul doesn’t just pray that your love would increase; he prays that your love would abound. And then he doesn’t stop there—he says “yet more and more in knowledge.” Wow, so there is an intensity to this thing that is also being revealed? An intensity that’s progressive, an ever-expanding intensity of the nature of what God’s desire is for you regarding your knowledge and experience of His love?
So God is not satisfied with you having just a little bit of a knowledge or an experience of His love. He’s not content with you experiencing His love in some distant, theoretical, textbook way. There’s an progressive intensity where he wants your love to intensify, to overflow, to super-abound still more and more in knowledge!  This is the will of God, ever-increasing, ever-expanding, ever-growing experience of His love both in you and through you!

But here’s where it gets interesting, and it’s important to pay very close attention to this because this is the key that unlocks everything else. The scripture says your love is to abound still more and more “in knowledge.”  Now, you might study this and think, “Okay, knowledge—I understand that word.”  But you’d need to learn more.  And the Greek word used here is not the ordinary word and understanding for knowledge that you are familiar with.  The word used here is “epignosis.“

ἐπίγνωσις epignosis knowledge – full knowledge, precise knowledge, experiential knowledge, revelation knowledge, complete  and exact knowledge

You see, epignosis is full and complete, experiential knowledge.  It’s a knowledge that brings you into an experience! This is not theoretical knowledge from studying books or head knowledge that just works in your brain.  This is transformative knowledge that comes from interaction and experience.  So there’s a beautiful, divine cycle happening here that the Holy Spirit wants you to understand and enter into.

Your experience of the love of God will give you a knowledge of the love of God that is ever increasing with every every experience!  Remember there’s a massive difference between knowing about something and actually experiencing it. For example: I can tell you about the taste of honey all day long. I can describe its sweetness, its texture, its golden color. I can give you the chemical composition of honey. I can explain the process by which bees create honey, or you can read about it in a book. But until you actually taste honey for yourself, and experience it for yourself you don’t really know honey. You have information about honey, but you don’t have epignosis of honey. You get it? You have data, but you don’t have experience. You’ll have facts, but you won’t have revelation.

ἀγάπη agape love – the love of God, sacrificial love, affectionate & humble, patient & kind, giving & forgiving, eternal – unchanging & unending, unconditional & reliable active benevolent love of God.

This is exactly what the Holy Spirit is communicating through this prayer. He’s saying that your love—the agape love of God that has been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit according to Romans 5:5—is meant to grow and increase through experiential knowledge.

This is the highest form of love, divine love, unconditional love, sacrificial love—and this love is meant to keep growing in you through experience! The more you experience the love of God, the more you know the love of God. And the more you know the love of God experientially, the more you can walk in it, live it, and express it to others glory to God!

And
the more you walk in it and express it, the more it abounds and increases! Glory to God! It’s a divine cycle of ever-increasing love that never stops, never plateaus, never reaches a ceiling, never runs dry!
Let me show you how the Amplified Version puts it: “And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more, displaying itself in greater depth in real knowledge and in practical insight.”  The Word says in real knowledge and in practical insight! So this is not theoretical love that you read about in a theology book. Or sentimental gush that rises and falls with your emotions. Think about it, this is not religious performance on deliverables and acceptance from church superiors kind of love, that looks good on the outside but is empty within. What epignosis is referring to is real, experiential, practical love of God that grows deeper and deeper as you get to know God intimately and experientially.

περισσεύω perisseuō abound – to exceed, to overflow, to have in abundance, to be more than enough, to super-abound

Let’s look deeper and get into the he word “abound” which is the Greek word “perisseuō,” and it means to exceed, to overflow, to have in abundance, to be more than enough, to super-abound!

This is the kind of love God wants operating in your life—love that is more than enough, love that overflows, love that exceeds every expectation, love that super-abounds! He wants you overflowing! He wants you exceeding! He wants your love tank so full that it spills over onto everyone around you and transforms your environment.

And notice—this abundant love is directly connected to your knowledge of God. The more you know Him, the more you experience Him, the more revelation you receive of who He is and how much He loves you—the more your love grows.
Spend time in His presence. Meditate on His Word. Pray, worship and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Because in those moments of intimate fellowship with your Heavenly Father, you will begin to gain epignosis-knowledge. You begin to gain experiential knowledge.  Every moment you spend in intimate fellowship with Him is an investment in this ever-increasing, ever-abounding love that transforms everything about your life!

So today, make the decision: I will no longer be satisfied with gnosis. I will pursue epignosis. I will press into experience. I will let the love of God flood my heart until it transforms every area of my life. This is your time to grow, to increase, to abound still more and more in the knowledge of God’s love!
Glory to God! Hallelujah!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for this revelation of epignosis—the experiential knowledge of Your love. I pray today that my love would abound yet more and more, not in mere information, but in real, revelation knowledge of who You are and how deeply You love me. Flood my heart with the experience of Your love, Father. Let Your liquid love envelop me, transform me, and cause my love to super-abound still more and more in knowledge and in all discernment. I choose today to move from knowing about Your love to truly knowing Your love experientially, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
The love of God that is shed abroad in my heart super-abounds still more and more in epignosis—in experiential, revelation knowledge! I don’t just know about God’s love; I experience God’s love daily. The more I know Him, the more my love grows and increases beyond measure. I am being brought into the rich revelation of spiritual insight through my intimate experience of the Father’s love.

Prayers Of The Spirit: Prayers of Rapture Preparation

Study The Word
Philippians 1:10-11 (KJV)
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

 The prayers of the Holy Spirit that we have been engaging with and learning about, are the prayers of rapture preparation! These are the prayers that every child of God, every Christian who is watching and waiting for the Lord’s return, every believer who understands the times we are living in, should be praying in this hour!

 Let’s look at what the word says in this prayer of the Spirit. It says “that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.”
Till the day of Christ!  The majority of these prayer points that the Holy Spirit has given us carries this same exclamation, this same destination, this same goal—our posture of prayer and preparation as we wait for the day of the Lord, the appearing of Christ, the catching away of the church!  The Holy Spirit has a purpose, and that purpose is to prepare you, to build you, to perfect you, to mature you while you wait for the appearing of Christ!
So the prayers of the Spirit are our spiritual development and growth prayer materials that we have been given by the Spirit of God.

ἡμέρα hēmera day – day, time, appointed time

The Greek word for “day” is “hēmera,” and when used with “of Christ,” it refers to that appointed time—the day of Jesus Christ’s appearing, the day when He returns for His church, the blessed hope that every
child of God is looking forward to with eager anticipation! And the Holy Spirit, in His infinite wisdom and perfect timing and loving care for the church, has given us these prayer points specifically to prepare us for that day!  They are strategic, divinely orchestrated prayers designed by the Holy Spirit Himself to get the church ready for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
If you’ve been paying attention to each of the prayer points we’ve been going through, you will notice something remarkable and consistent. At the end of every prayer point, there is this exclamation—”so that you may be ready for the day of the Lord,” “so that you may be prepared for the appearing of Christ,” “until the day of Christ,” “until the coming of our Lord Jesus.”  Why? These prayers are to prepare and position you for the biggest event in human history—the appearing of Jesus Christ and, the catching away of the church, the rapture!”

παρουσία parousia appearing – presence, revealing, showing

The word commonly used for Christ’s return is “parousia,” meaning His presence, His revealing, His appearing in glory. And every prayer point the Holy Spirit has given us is designed to prepare us for that parousia! He’s not leaving us unprepared and caught off guard. He’s not letting us stumble into that day unready. He’s not allowing us to be surprised and shocked when the trumpet sounds. Through these prayers, He is equipping us, preparing us, sanctifying us, making us ready to meet our Lord! The Holy Spirit knows exactly what’s coming, He sees the timeline of eternity, and in His love for the church, He has provided us with the exact prayers we need to be ready!
He says He wants us to be “sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.” 
Without offence is the Greek “aproskopoi,” and it means without stumbling, not causing others to stumble, blameless, free from anything that would cause us to fall or fail, giving no cause for offense to anyone. God is preparing a church that will be found blameless when Jesus returns! A church that hasn’t stumbled! A church that hasn’t caused others to stumble! A church that has been walking in love, growing
in discernment, living sincere genuine lives that honor God! This is the Holy Spirit’s agenda for this specific hour in history!

ἀπρόσκοποι aproskopoi without offence – without stumbling, blameless, not causing others to stumble, giving no cause for offense

Think about the significance of this for your life today. The Holy Spirit is not just concerned with your daily comfort and convenience. He’s not just focused on your temporary challenges and momentary difficulties. He has an eternal perspective, a kingdom mindset, and He’s preparing you for the most significant moment in all of human history—the return of Jesus Christ for His church! And these prayers are His tools for that preparation. When you pray these prayers, when you engage with these scriptural declarations, when you align yourself with the Holy Spirit’s agenda, you are actively positioning yourself to be found ready when the Lord appears!

So use the prayers of the Spirit resource that we have put together on this platform. Come back to them again and again. Let them play in the background throughout your day, whether you’re washing dishes, doing house chores, driving, or whatever you’re busy with. Let the prayers minister to your spirit. Let them fuel the fire of prayer within you. Let them keep you aligned with heaven’s agenda for this hour!
These are the days we have been waiting for. These are the times the prophets spoke about. And the Holy Spirit, in His wonderful love and wisdom, has given us these prayers to ensure that when Jesus appears, we are found ready, filled, blameless, and overflowing with the fruits of righteousness unto the glory and praise of our God!
Glory to God!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the prayers of the Holy Spirit that are preparing me for the day of Christ. I receive today this divine preparation for Your appearing. Fill me completely with the fruits of righteousness that are by Jesus Christ. Make me sincere and without offense until Your return. Help me to align myself with heaven’s agenda for this hour, and position me to be found ready, blameless, and overflowing with the fruit of righteousness at the unveiling of Christ, unto Your glory and praise, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am being prepared for the day of Christ! The prayers of the Holy Spirit are equipping me, positioning
me, and making me ready for the Lord’s return. I am sincere and without offense until the day of Jesus Christ. I am filled—not partially, but completely with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God. I am rapture-ready, abounding in love, knowledge, and discernment. I live a life that leads others away from sin. I will be found blameless at the appearing of my Lord, bringing great praise and glory to God, in the name of Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Reservoirs of Divine Wisdom and Spiritual Intelligence

Study The Word
Colossians 1:9-10 (KJV)
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

Did you know, that there is such a thing called spiritual wisdom, such a thing called spiritual understanding, and spiritual knowledge?  And these are actual things that exist?  Most Christians are not aware that these things are actually real.  And God has made these available to us by His Spirit.  Now, the first thing that needs to happen when you encounter information about these things in the scripture is to first acknowledge and accept that they are real; and then afterward you need to begin to appropriate, receive and activate these spiritual things.  And you do this through the prayers of the Spirit.  And our opening verse is one of the prayers of the Spirit by which you can ensure that you not only receive, but also activate spiritual wisdom, spiritual understanding and spiritual knowledge.

God’s perfect purpose for you is that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  Think about this: so there is such a thing as spiritual understanding? This is real, and you can have it working in and through you. There is such a thing as spiritual intelligence! Remember, this is not the intelligence that the world celebrates—the kind that comes from prestigious universities or academic achievements. This is supernatural comprehension, a divine cognitive ability that enables you to understand and connect spiritual realities.

ἐπίγνωσις epignōsis knowledge – precise knowledge, full discernment, complete understanding, experiential knowledge, deep personal acquaintance

This Greek word epignōsis speaks of a precise, experiential knowledge—a deep, personal acquaintance with the will of God. God wants you to have this kind of intimate knowledge of His purposes, His plans, and His Word. He wants you to know Him and His will with such clarity and depth that it transforms every area of your life.
And then the scripture adds “in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” The Passion Translation says—God wants to make you “reservoirs of every kind of wisdom.” Haha! Did you hear that? You are not meant to be a puddle that dries up in the heat of life’s challenges. You are meant to be a reservoir—a deep, abundant, inexhaustible supply of divine wisdom and spiritual intelligence. Glory to God!

σοφία sophia wisdom – broad intelligence, divine wisdom, skill in the affairs of life, practical wisdom, insight into the true nature of things

Sophia wisdom is the divine ability to apply knowledge correctly. It is not merely knowing facts about God; it is knowing how to navigate life according to His principles. It is having spiritual insight into the true nature of things—seeing beyond the natural into the spiritual realities that govern our existence.
And then there’s sunesis—spiritual understanding, spiritual intelligence. This is your God-given capacity to comprehend spiritual concepts, to see relationships between divine truths, and to connect the dots of what God is doing in your life and in the world. Some of you have been walking through life without this activated, and you’ve been wondering why things don’t make sense. It’s because you need this spiritual intelligence! You need this supernatural comprehension of the things of God. Hallelujah!
Why does God want you filled with all this wisdom, knowledge, and understanding? Verse 10 tells us: “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work.”  This spiritual intelligence is not for show. It’s not so you can impress people with your spiritual vocabulary.  It is so that you can walk worthy of the Lord.
It positions you to live a life that pleases God in everything. It enables you to be fruitful—to produce results—in every good work you put your hand to do.
You see, when you have spiritual wisdom, when you have spiritual knowledge and understanding, you can now discern God’s plans and purposes.

σύνεσις sunesis understanding – intelligence, comprehension, the ability to understand concepts and see relationships, mental discernment, capacity to connect ideas

You can now understand what He is doing and how He wants you to be involved. You can now connect with His agenda for your life. And when you align yourself with His purposes, fruitfulness is inevitable!  You become productive, effective, and successful in everything you do—not by your own strength, but because you are operating with divine intelligence.
And the scripture says you will be “increasing in the knowledge of God.” This is a continuous, progressive, ever-expanding experience. You don’t reach a point where you’ve learned everything about God. No! By the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of knowledge, and the spirit of understanding, you are continually growing, continually expanding, continually going deeper in your knowledge of Him.
He wants you to have this supernatural understanding of His purposes. He wants you to have this spiritual intelligence where your mind can comprehend and connect divine information. He wants you to be a walking, talking reservoir of every kind of wisdom. So when you pray these prayers of the Spirit, know that you are praying and activating what He has already made available to you. You are releasing what He has already given you freely by His Spirit. Glory to God!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your perfect will to fill me with the knowledge of Your purpose in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I receive today this supernatural intelligence, this divine comprehension of Your plans and purposes for my life. I declare that I am a reservoir of every kind of wisdom—spiritual wisdom, divine knowledge, and supernatural understanding flow through me abundantly. By this I walk worthy of You, Lord, unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and ever increasing in the knowledge of You, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
I am filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding! I am a reservoir of divine wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and supernatural intelligence. My mind comprehends and connects spiritual realities; I have the capacity to understand God’s plans and purposes for my life. I walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, and I am fruitful in every good work. I am continually increasing in the knowledge of God by the Spirit of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding at work in me, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 8: Spiritual Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding & Spiritual Power

Prayers Of The Spirit: Empowered with Explosive Power According to His Omnipotence

Study The Word

Colossians 1:11-12 (KJV)
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”

The Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, reveals another dimension of God’s perfect will for your life which is: He wants you to be strengthened with all might according to His glorious power. Think about this: God doesn’t want us to be weak. God doesn’t want us to be helpless. God doesn’t want you to be that person who, when trouble comes, crumbles and cries, “Oh my God, what’s happening to my life? Why is this happening to me?” No! God wants you to be empowered with His supernatural, explosive, miraculous power.

The Passion Translation renders it powerfully: “And we pray that you would be energized with all His explosive power from the realm of His magnificent glory.”  Explosive power! This is the dynamic ability of God—the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead—operating in you. This is God’s perfect will. This is what He desires for every one of His children.

δύναμις dunamis might – inherent power, miraculous power, mighty divine force, ability to cause changes, spiritual power, dynamic ability

The word that is translated might is the Greek word dunamis.  This Greek word dunamis is where we get the English word “dynamite” from. It speaks of inherent, dynamic miraculous power, a mighty divine force, the ability to cause changes. This is not natural strength. This is not human capability. This is supernatural, spiritual power—the kind of power that can effect changes in any situation. And God wants you filled with it!

But notice the scripture doesn’t just say you’ll be strengthened with might. It says you’ll be strengthened with might according to His glorious power. This is crucial! It means that your empowerment is not according to your own ability or your own strength. It is according to the extent, the bounds, the full capacity of God’s own power. That is what kratos – power is. That is “according to His glorious kratos!”

κράτος kratos power – divine dominion, strength, mighty deed, supreme power, the full extent of God’s might, omnipotent capacity

The word kratos here speaks of divine dominion—God’s supreme power, His omnipotent capacity. It is all the power that God has access to as the Almighty, the All-Powerful One. And the scripture says you are strengthened according to the supply, the reservoir of all of God’s might. According to His omnipotence! Not according to your limitations, not according to your circumstances, but according to the total capacity of God’s omnipotence, He supplies you with supernatural power. Glory to God!

Now, why does God want you filled with this power? So you can show off? So you can impress people? No! It is so that you can go through this life, this world with its adversaries, its challenges, its trials—and emerge a champion! When that bad news comes, when that contract ends, when that relationship falls apart, when that sickness attacks—you are not found wanting. You are not found without help. You are not found without a solution. You have the supernatural, explosive power of God to cause the changes that you need!

That is how Jesus lived His life. No matter where He was, no matter what came His way, no matter what challenges He faced, He wasn’t crying, “Oh Father, please help!” No! He knew He was filled with the might according to God’s glorious power, and He would effect the changes He needed.  And that is your calling! That is your inheritance! You are to live the same way—empowered, strengthened, invigorated with God’s miracle-working power.

And here’s something beautiful: this power also enables you to have patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Not patience with grumbling. Not endurance with complaining. But supernatural patience with joy! When you are filled with God’s power, you have the stamina to endure difficult times, and you also have the miraculous ability to change unfavourable situations. You can endure what needs to be endured, and you can change what needs to be changed. This is the balanced life of power that God has designed for you.

Now, how is this going to work? You have to pray these prayers of the Spirit! You see, God has already made these provisions available in Christ Jesus. But they don’t just activate automatically. Why? Because of the principle of free will. God has given you a will, and He will not override it. So when you pray, you are exercising your right of free will to endorse, to accept, to release, and to activate God’s plans and purposes of the working of His might according to His glorious power. So, you say, “Heavenly Father, I use my will to enforce Your will in my life. I use my will to activate Your power in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.” And when you pray in accordance with His will, you know He hears you. And if you know He hears you, you know you have the petition you have desired of Him.

So you don’t have to wonder, “Is the power of God in me now?” Yes! You can now effect changes. You can now face life’s challenges knowing that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, you are empowered with supernatural, miraculous power according to God’s omnipotence. Glory to God!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your perfect will to strengthen me with Your supernatural, explosive, miraculous power. I ask to be energized and empowered according to the full capacity of Your divine dominion and omnipotent might—not according to my ability, but according to Your unlimited power. I receive the grace to endure with joy, and I receive the dynamic ability to effect changes in every situation I face. Thank You, Father, that You have made me worthy to partake of the glorious inheritance of the saints in light, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am strengthened with all might according to God’s glorious power! I am energized and empowered with His explosive, supernatural, miraculous power according to the full capacity of His omnipotence. I face life as a champion—empowered to endure with joy and empowered to effect changes in every situation. I have the dunamis power of God at work in me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I am not helpless; I am not without solutions. I cause changes by the power of the Holy Spirit in me, in the name of Jesus Christ

Prayers Of The Spirit: Sanctification – The Threefold Purging Work

Study The Word

1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV)
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We move on along to another prayer of the Spirit this time from 1st Thessalonians, and this is the will of God for your life penned down by inspiration of the Spirit of God.  It says: the very God of peace—the God of Shalom—His will for you is complete sanctification. Not partial.  But wholly, completely, absolutely sanctified in your spirit, in your soul, and in your body!

ἁγιάζω  hagiazō  sanctify  –  to make holy, purify, consecrate, separate, set apart for God

Think about this: God is not merely interested in your “spiritual” life while ignoring your soul and body. No! He wants the totality of your being sanctified! Your spirit—that innermost part of you that communes with God. Your soul—your mind, your will, your emotions, your feelings, your thoughts, your desires, your motives. And your body—the vessel, the temple that carries this glorious treasure. Every dimension of your existence is to be sanctified, purified, and made holy.

Now, how does this sanctification happen? The scriptures reveal to us a threefold purging work. First, you are sanctified by the blood of Jesus Christ. The blood of Yeshua Mashiach purges your conscience from dead works to serving the living God according to Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” That blood speaks better things and purges. That blood cleanses. That blood purifies. That blood deals with the shame and the guilt of both sin and the consciousness of sin in your life. Every dead work, every pattern of the old life, every residue of carnality—the blood of Jesus purges it out! Is there shame, guilt or anything from the past that the devil keeps using as accusations in your mind? Or memories of the past that keep tormenting you and holding you back? The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to access your conscious and cleanse it. So the blood of Jesus purifies our spirit from the contamination of sin, therefore your human spirit is perpetually cleansed by His blood. Secondly the blood of Jesus Christ has access to the deepest seat of your mind, your conscience. Your conscience is a part of your mind which is a component of your soul. So the blood of Jesus has access to cleanse your soul.  Now direct the blood of Jesus Christ to that shame, to that guilt, to that memory in your mind in prayer and demand it to be cleansed by the blood of Yeshua Mashiach! Yes! And start to love free from condemnation! Glory to God!

καθαρίζω  katharizō  purge/cleanse  –  to make clean, purify, cleanse from filth, cleanse from guilt, pronounce clean

You are also sanctified in your soul by the Word of God. Jesus said in John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” The Word of God is a purifying agent! When you engage with the Word, when you meditate upon it, when you speak it, when you pray it—it purifies your mind, it transforms your will, it aligns your emotions, it sanctifies your desires and your motives. The Word has washing power! It has cleansing power! It has sanctifying power! That is what James 1:21 is talking about when it says “…receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” And Romans 12:2 is referring to when it says “…but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” The word cleanses and renews your mind.

Third, you are sanctified by the fire of the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit of God is described as fire—purifying fire, refining fire, sanctifying fire! When the fire of the Holy Spirit moves upon your life, it burns away the dross, it consumes the chaff, it purifies your thoughts, your feelings, your actions. The fire of the Holy Spirit sanctifies your ambitions, your choices, your motives. Everything that is not of God is consumed by this holy fire! As you engage in this prayer of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit will fill your physical body, and as your are filled with the Spirit your body is being cleansed and purified.

So what does this mean for you today? It means that sanctification is not something you struggle to achieve in your own strength. No! God Himself—the very God of peace, the God of Shalom—He is the one who sanctifies you! Your part is to pray this will of God over your life, to align yourself with His purposes, and to receive His sanctifying work by the blood, by the Word, and by the fire of His Spirit. You are being purged, cleansed, and made holy—spirit, soul, and body—for the glory of God and in preparation for the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation of Your threefold sanctifying work in my life. I receive the purging and cleansing of the blood of Jesus Christ over my spirit, my soul, and my body. I receive the sanctifying power of Your Word to transform my mind, my will, and my emotions. I receive the fire of Your Holy Spirit to purify my thoughts, my motives, my desires, and my actions. Thank You, Father, that You are the very God of peace who sanctifies me completely, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am sanctified wholly—spirit, soul, and body—by the blood of Jesus Christ, by the Word of God, and by the fire of the Holy Spirit! My conscience is purged from dead works to serving the living God. My mind, my will, my emotions, my thoughts, my desires, and my motives are cleansed and purified and aligned with the purposes of God. I am being made completely holy by the very God of peace, and I am fully prepared for the glorious appearing of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit: Day 9: Sanctification

Prayers Of The Spirit: Guarded & Protected Until His Appearing

Study The Word

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (KJV)
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

 Another important thing that the Spirit of God wants you to understand today is that your sanctification does not just happen automatically! There are things contending for your salvation, and sanctification. There are things contending against the plans and purposes of God for your life. There are principalities, there are powers, there are circumstances, there are symptoms, there are reports—all these things are exalting themselves above the knowledge of God, above the manifestation of the revelation of God’s purposes in your life. This is why the Apostle Paul prays that you would be sanctified and preserved in this way!

τηρέω  tēreō  preserved  –  to watch over, guard carefully, observe, keep safe, protect, maintain

Now, the Greek word “tēreō” which is translated preserved means to carefully observe and guard! It means to watch over, to keep safe, to protect, to maintain. So as a child of God it is important for you to know and to understand that you are not left alone to fend for yourself against the attacks of the enemy.  You are one that is preserved in Christ! You are one that God watches over, keeps safe, protects and heavily guards!  God Himself—as the Lord of Hosts, the Lord of the armies of heaven—stations His angelic forces to guard you, to preserve you, to watch over your spirit, your soul, and your body. Glory to God! Its important for you to know this, to remind yourself of this everyday, to enforce it in prayer and in declarations everyday.

Think about this: some people experience spiritual attacks. Some experience attacks in their minds. Some experience attacks in their bodies. Sickness, symptoms, disease, reports from doctors—these are spiritual things that come to exalt themselves above the plans and purposes of God for your life. Poverty, lack, failure, things that keep occurring that you know are not from God—these are things contending against your destiny! But when you pray this will of God over your life, you give the Lord of Hosts—Jehovah Tzevaot—the rights to activate, to station, to deploy the armies of God, the angels of the armies of God, to stand guard over you! Remember that you are come unto Mount Zion, the city of the living God, in the midst of an innumerable company of angels. (Hebrews 12:22)

צָבָא  tzāvā’  hosts/armies  –  army, warriors, warfare, host of angels, host of heaven, heavenly military service

Also, you need to be aware that the angels respond to the Word of God!  So, when you enact the Word, when you summon the Word, when you call upon the Father using the Word of God to fulfill His plans and purposes in accordance with these prayers of the Holy Spirit—those angels are activated! The angelic is activated! There are angels that possess the wisdoms of God. There are angels that possess the knowledge of God. There are angels that possess the understanding of God and angels of war that specializes in security, protection, defensive and offensive attacks!  Be aware that as you pray the prayers of the Spirit, those angels are released and activated to act in your life!

And here is the beautiful conclusion of this prayer: “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” Haha! This is incredible! God is not asking you to preserve yourself. God is not asking you to sanctify yourself by your own works or efforts. He says, “Faithful is the one who calls you, and He will make it happen!” He will do it! He called you with a holy calling—not according to your works, but according to His own purpose and grace. He sanctified you, He set you apart in your mother’s womb when it pleased Him. And now He says He will preserve you blameless until the day of the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ! Hallelujaaah!

Do you see how these prayers of the Holy Spirit are targeted, precise and critical? They prepare you and position you not only for the catching away of the church, but also for your preservation, health, soundness, prosperity, growth and maturity and safety whilst you wait for the day of the Lord’s appearing.  So God thought about what is going to be happening and what we are going to be busy with, and how we are going to be heavily guarded and protected as we wait for the catching away of the church.
That’s why the prayers of the Spirit you’ll find conclude with the declaration – “unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” or “blameless at the day of His appearing.”  So it’s clear to see that these are the prayers that make you rapture-ready! So whether you’ve been a Christian for 50 years or one year, whether you’re a pastor or a new believer—these prayers are for you. Pray them. Contend with them. Lay hold of this will of God for your life, and watch the faithful God who called you make this a reality in your life!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are the Lord of Hosts, the Commander of the armies of heaven. I thank You that as I pray Your will over my life, You activate Your angels to guard me, to preserve me, to watch over my spirit, my soul, and my body. I lay hold of Your provision of preservation today. I contend for Your purposes in my life. Thank You, Father, that You are faithful—You who called me will also do it. You will preserve me blameless until the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am carefully observed and guarded by the Lord of Hosts! The angels of God are stationed around me, preserving my spirit, my soul, and my body. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, for I am preserved by the Almighty God. Faithful is He who called me, and He will do it—He will sanctify me, He will preserve me, He will keep me blameless until the day of the appearing of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am positioned, I am prepared, I am ready for the catching away of the church, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit: Day 9: Sanctification

Prayers Of The Spirit: Clothed With Divine Glory

Study The Word

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (Amplified)
With this in view, we constantly pray for you, that our God may deem and count you worthy of your calling and His every gracious purpose of goodness, and with power may complete in your every particular work of faith… Thus may the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified and become more glorious through and in you, and may you also be glorified in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today we look into another prayer of the Holy Spirit put together for us and it is for God to count us worthy of our calling and also to fulfill or to perform in us His gracious  purpose of goodness and complete the working of our faith with His power! Glory! How incredible is that? And it doesn’t stop there, then it goes on to say, “and may you also be glorified in Him.” You! Glorified! In Him! Wow, “I’m glorified in Him!”
Now, I know there are some religious folks out there, and they’ll say, “Yeah, all the glory belongs to God alone. The glory is for the Lord alone. Glory is only for God.” And yes, that is true—God is worthy of all glory! But what about this? What is the Word actually saying here? The Word of God is declaring that it is also God’s will for YOU to be glorified in Him. Haha! How about that for your religious mentality?

ἐνδοξάζω endoxazō glorified – to adorn with glory, clothe with splendor, decorate, enhance with magnificence, invest with honour and dignity

Think about this: that Greek word “glorified” is endoxazō, which comes from the root word doxa, meaning glory. But endoxazō specifically means to adorn with glory, to clothe you with glory! God wants you to be clothed with His glory! It means to be decorated, to be enhanced with splendor, with honor, with magnificence—with God’s divine magnificence! Do you hear what the Spirit is saying?

This is God’s will for your life! So what does it mean? What it means is, as you begin to go about fulfilling work with His faith, the power of God will be expressed in and through you, God will be glorified and you also will be clothed with His glory. That is simply what the prayer point of the Spirit is saying. God wants you to also be glorified as He is being glorified in your life. He also wants you to be glorified. Hey yaaa!! That is too big for the religious Christianity that keeps saying, “The glory belongs to God alone, the glory belongs to God alone.” Yes, it does! But God also says, “I want you, My son. I want you, My child. I want you, My daughter, to be glorified in Me.”

δόξα doxa glory – splendor, brightness, magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, honor, praise, worship

God’s purpose and plan—His desire—is for you to be glorified in Him.  So as you’re going about doing the work of God, and God is being glorified in you, He says He also wants that glory to be in you and you to be glorified in Him.  Isn’t that beautiful? God is such a giver; He wants to share His glory with us. He doesn’t want to receive the glory alone, hahaa! Many Christians don’t like to hear this, but it’s in the scripture, it’s in the written Word. That is what the word says!

The Message translation puts it this way: “If your life honors the name of Jesus, He will honor you.”
If your life honours Jesus Christ, He will honour you! You can’t change that, it will happen whether you want it or not because no one can out give God. So even if you cry sincerely in your fake humility saying “Lord I don’t want any of Your glory”, He will still glorify you! You can’t change it; God will never change His Word for you or for anyone, not even Himself.  So get over it child of God—this is the Word of God and it is already written and settled in heaven! You will share in His glory, hallelujah! This is the revealed will of your Heavenly Father for your life! So expect it and never shy away from it. This is not arrogance!

You see, God is not like some earthly master who wants all the recognition while keeping his servants in the shadows. No! Your Father says, “As you walk in your calling, as you express faith, as My power works through you—I am going to clothe you with My very own glory!” You will be decorated with divine magnificence. You will be enhanced with splendour that comes from the grace and glory of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

χάρις charis grace – favor, blessing, goodwill, divine influence upon the heart, benefit, gift freely given

And did you notice how it says this glorification comes “according to the grace of our God.” It’s not something you earn! It’s not something you work up! It’s a gift! It’s the charis—the divine favor, the blessing, the goodwill of God freely given to you as you walk in your calling, fulfilling your purpose.

So let this truth sink deep into your spirit today: God’s plan is not just for Him to be glorified through you—His plan is for you also to be adorned, decorated, and clothed with His divine splendor, His magnificence, His honour! You are not just a vessel; you are a vessel that He delights to beautify with His very own glory! Hallelujah! Oh, you’ve got to love the Word of God!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for this revelation that challenges every religious limitation in my thinking. Thank You that it is Your will not only to be glorified in me but also to glorify me in You. I receive this truth today—that as I walk in my calling and express my faith, You are adorning me, decorating me, and clothing me with Your divine splendor, magnificence, and honour according to Your grace and the Lord Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Speak The Word

I am being glorified in Christ according to God’s purpose and plan for my life! As I honour the name of Jesus, He honours me with His divine glory. I am adorned and decorated with divine splendor, divine magnificence, and divine honor as I fulfill my calling. I am clothed with the very glory of God—not by my works, but according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 10: Fulfilment Of God’s Good Pleasure In Us

Prayers Of The Spirit: Counted Worthy of This Calling

Study The Word

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (KJV)
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.

 As we continue to study this prayer point of the Holy Spirit and look at it in the KJV this time around you’d see that it says here, “…that our God would count you worthy of this calling.”  What calling is He referring to here?  When you study the context from verse 7 you’d discover that He is referring to the calling of His appearing and the catching away of the church – the rapture.  And also His subsequent return with the church at His second coming when He comes back this time together with His saints. So the prayer point is so that God would count you worthy of His calling for the rapture, glory to God! What a prayer.

Now, if you are a child of God and filled with the Spirit of God, being in Christ, and you believe not only in Him but also in that day “when He shall come”, that means you fit the criteria for God to count you worthy! He has already deemed you worthy because you are a part of His saints whom He shall come for “…When He shall come to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all them that believe…in that day.” (2 Thessalonians 1:10) And then lastly what you will need to do while you wait for that day of His coming is what we have in verse 11 which is to pray the prayer of the Spirit: “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.”

ἀξιόω axioō count worthy – to deem worthy, to think fit, consider deserving, judge qualified, esteem suitable, account as meeting the standard

So the criteria to be counted worthy is clear in the context, which is firstly – believe in the testimony of Jesus Christ i.e. believe in what He already came and did; secondly – believe in that day when He shall come i.e. believe in what He is coming back to do. Now because of this you are to begin to pray this prayer of the Spirit which is: “…pray always that God would count you worthy of this calling.” Now, if you’re a born again and child of God who believes in Jesus Christ then non of the things in the criteria should be a problem or issue for you, you already believe in all these things therefore you should know that you are counted worthy!

That word “count worthy” in the Greek is axioō, and it means to deem worthy, to think fit, to consider deserving, to judge qualified! God Himself has judged you qualified! God Himself has deemed you suitable! God Himself considers you deserving of this calling upon your life! Not because of your works—but because of what Jesus Christ did for you, and that you believe it! Not only that but also you believe in what He is coming back to do, glory to God! Therefore, God counts you worthy of this calling!  So you don’t have to be like those who are not sure, or who are afraid of whether or not they will make the rapture! No! You are confident that God counts you worthy!

Say this: I believe that Jesus Christ came, died, rose again and ascended into heaven; I believe He is coming back again, therefore I am qualified, I am worthy of God’s eternal calling!

And then He says because you believe in Him and He has counted you worthy and as you are patiently waiting for His coming, may God “…fulfil all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power.”  Say out loud, “God is fulfilling all the good pleasure of His goodness in my life today, in the name of Jesus Christ!” See this is a prayer point of the Spirit, it reveals God’s will that He wants to see fulfilled in your life. So you need to boldly appropriate it in prayer and declaration!

πίστις pistis faith – conviction of truth, persuasion

Now, this is a special word for somebody who has been discouraged by others. Hallelujah. People have said to you, “Because of what you did there, and what you said there, and what happened there—you are not qualified.” But the Word of God reveals to us that God has counted you worthy of this calling! He has counted you worthy! He’s counting on you! And He has counted and called you faithful because of your faith in Jesus Christ!

You see, your qualification is not based on your performance—it’s based on your pistis, your faith in Jesus Christ! It is based on your faith in what He came to do, and what He is coming back to do!  So it doesn’t matter what they said! It doesn’t matter who disqualified you! Jesus Christ with His own blood qualified you for God’s purpose! Qualified you for God’s calling upon your life!
Never let any lie stop you again! Never let any voice of discouragement say that you are not qualified to serve God! Because Jesus Christ of Nazareth—He has qualified you!

He qualifies you every day! He qualifies you when you feel like it—He’s qualifying you! When you don’t feel like it—He’s qualifying you! When people say you can’t—He’s qualifying you! When people say you’re disqualified—He’s still qualifying you!

εὐδοκία eudokia good pleasure – delight, pleasure, good will, pleasant intent

Think about this: you’re no longer qualified because of your education. You’re no longer qualified because of your background. You’re no longer qualified because of your family name. You’re no longer qualified because of what you did or didn’t do. You’re no longer qualified because of what they said. You are qualified because of the blood of Jesus Christ! His blood is your qualification! His blood is your credential! His blood speaks better things on your behalf!

“I command every lie of the devil—every voice of disqualification—to be silenced right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Rise up from that place of discouragement! Rise up from that depression! Take up your place and fulfill your call! God will back you up! God will back up every work of your faith with power! Every work of your faith with His power—because He has qualified you and called you to fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness in and through you! Glory to God!”

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for counting me worthy of this calling. I silence every voice of disqualification from the enemy right now in Jesus’ name. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for qualifying me with Your precious blood—not according to my works, not according to my ability, but according to Your own purpose and power. I take up my place today to fulfill all the good pleasure of Your goodness in me, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

God has considered me worthy of His calling in Christ Jesus and fit to fulfill His call of service! I am qualified by the blood of Jesus Christ—not by my performance, not by what others say, but by His precious blood alone! Every lie of disqualification is silenced over my life. I rise up in strength to take my place and fulfill my calling, and God backs up every work of my faith with His miraculous power, in the name of the Lord Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 10: Fulfilment Of God’s Good Pleasure In Us

Prayers Of The Spirit: Divine Protection from Wicked Men and Evil

Study The Word

2 Thessalonians 3:1-3 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2  And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3  But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”

This prayer point of the Spirit, gives us one of the most crucial prayers we need for our lives especially in these last days—that fist part of it the Apostle Paul says “pray for us,” and then afterward he reveals the prayer point of the Spirit and says “..that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified.”  This is a prayer of the Spirit. God’s eternal will both in our lives and in the lives of others around us is for His Word to have free course and be glorified in every facet of our lives and existence!

τρέχω trechó  free course – run freely, move rapidly, spread rapidly, spread hastily

That word free course is trechó which means to move rapidly, run freely without any hinderance, and spread hastily.  This is  with the speed of the Spirit of God. Everything that God will do in your life is and will always be through and by His Word. So if there’s something that God wants to do in you, through you, or for you, and it takes long for His Word to get to you, or to your notice through hinderance or delay of one sort or the other; that which God wants to fulfill will inevitably be delayed.  But that is only until that Word of God gets to you by free course and is glorified.  So this prayer of the Spirit is to eliminate hinderances and delays for God’s plans and purposes for your life, and for the lives of people around you. “May the Word of the Lord have free course in every area of your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!”

And then the next part of this prayer request of the Spirit is the prayer for deliverance and protection from unreasonable and wicked men.  It also enlightens us to the reality that we live in a very evil and wicked world. However, the Lord prepared for us ahead of time and has given us this authority over wickedness and evil, so that we can live in divine protection and safety, and successfully navigating these perilous times.  And glory to God “…the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from from evil,” in the name of Jesus Christ!
As you study this you will remember the words of Jesus in His famous teaching on how to pray when He said “Your will be done in earth as it is in heaven…deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:10;13)
It is important for you to notice when studying the context how that Paul doesn’t hesitate to make such a request for himself. It is a request inspired of the Spirit of God.  And what it reveals to us regarding the prayers of the Spirit is that if that prayer request of the Spirit was good enough for the Apostle Paul, it is absolutely essential for us, the body of Christ, to pray this same prayer over our lives and for the lives of the people around us!

Now, let’s look at this carefully. Paul says pray “that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.”

ἄτοπος atopos unreasonable – improper, out of place, harmful, hurtful, perverse, wicked in behaviour

The word “unreasonable” here is the Greek word: atopos which means improper, harmful, hurtful, wicked and out of place.  This describes people who operate outside of what is proper and right. They are hurtful people. These are selfish people that have evil intentions toward others.

πονηρός ponēros wicked – evil, bad, malicious, grievous, harmful, one who causes pain and brings labor and toil

And then Paul adds “wicked men”—the Greek word here is: ponēros which means wicked, evil, harmful and malicious.  These are people through whom the enemy operates to bring grief, pain, and destruction in peoples lives.  And we live in a world where we see or encounter all these things almost everyday.  So this prayer of the Spirit is critical for the times we are living in.  But here’s where it gets good for us—the Word of God doesn’t leave us without defense and immediately the scripture says, “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil!”  Yes, there are wicked people in this world. Yes, not all men have faith. Not all men have Christ. Not all men have the love of God in them.  “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil!”

στηρίζω stērizō establish – to make stable, place firmly, set fast, strengthen, make steadfast, fix

Think about this: God Himself says He is going to make you stable! He’s going to place you firmly! While wicked and unreasonable men and evil are trying to destabilize your life, or your family and people around you, or your destiny—God is faithful to establish you, to make you steadfast, to set you in a firm position and you will not be touched!
And then He goes on further to say He will “keep you from evil.” Oh I love that word “keep”! The word “keep” here is phulassō  which means to guard, watch, protect and preserve from harm.

φυλάσσω phulassō keep – to guard, watch, protect, preserve from harm, defend, maintain

This is protective keeping! This is God standing as a watchful guardian over your life as you pray and enforce this prayer of the Spirit over your life and lives of people around you! He will actively guard, protect and defend you against evil. As you appropriate this will of God in prayer you rest assured that He is faithful and He is watchfully looking over you in protection against the evil one! Every single day you are protected! Glory to God!

How amazing is that? Now remember what we said earlier regard this prayer of the Spirit that, if it was appropriate for the Apostle Paul, this great man of God, to ask for prayer for deliverance from wicked and unreasonable men, how much more should you and I make this a consistent prayer point over our lives?
Some of you have been dealing with people who have evil intentions toward you—people in your workplace, people in your family, people who for no just reason have set themselves against your progress and your destiny. The Word of God says pray! Pray for deliverance from them and from evil! And as you do so, know that the Lord is faithful! Hallelujah!

“I declare over your life today: any wicked one, any unreasonable person, any evil plan that the enemy has orchestrated against your life, against your family, against your destiny—I render them helpless against your life! Any evil that the wicked one had planned against your life, I declare it cancelled in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! May the Lord, like a rushing mighty current, deliver you from that evil, deliver you unto Himself from that evil day, from that evil plan, against your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!”

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are faithful! I thank You that You have promised to establish me and keep me from evil. I pray today, asking that You would deliver me from evil, and from unreasonable and wicked men—from those who have evil intentions and those through whom the enemy operates. I trust in Your faithful keeping power to guard my life, my family, and my destiny from all evil, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

 The Lord is faithful, and He establishes me and keeps me from all evil. I am guarded, I am protected, I am defended by the watchful eye of my Heavenly Father every single day. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every evil plan against my life is cancelled and rendered powerless, in the name of Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Uninterrupted Access to His Love

Prayers Of The Spirit: Effective Communication

Study The Word

Philemon 1:4-6 
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

We move on to the study of another amazing prayer of the Spirit. And this prayer point has to do with how we share, show and minister Jesus Christ to our world. It’s prayer point for our preparation for ministry; and it focuses on the communication, the distribution, the sharing of your faith—and he says it may become effectual!  Effectual! That means effective and powerful!  When you share the word of God, when you distribute the gospel of Jesus Christ, when you communicate your faith—it doesn’t just go out empty and powerless.  It is accompanied, it is infused, it is charged with the effectual power of God Himself! This prayer for preparation will empower you with boldness, and also confidence – someone called it “Godfidence”!

ἐνεργής energēs effectual – active, efficient, effective, powerful, operative, working with energy

Think about this: Paul is saying that when you share your faith, when you communicate the gospel, it becomes energes! That Greek word energes means active, efficient, effective, powerful—it’s working with divine energy! Glory to God! This is not just talking; this is not just words floating in the air. This is the word of God going forth with the accompanying power of the Holy Spirit! Every time you open your mouth to share the gospel, every time you distribute the message of Christ, the Holy Spirit accompanies that word with His effective, miraculous energy. Hallelujah!

κοινωνία koinōnia communication – fellowship, partnership, distribution, sharing, participation, communion

Now, that word “communication” there is koinonia. We’ve studied this word before—it means partnership, fellowship, distribution, sharing together. But did you catch what’s happening here? It’s talking about your oneness with the faith! You’re not just talking about something external; you have become one with the faith of Jesus Christ! You’re mingled with the word of God! You’re in communion, in fellowship, in partnership with the word of God! And when you now communicate from that place of oneness, from that place of being mingled with the word, from that place of partnership with Christ—it goes forth with power!

The Living Bible translation says it beautifully: “And I pray that as you share your faith with others, it will grip their lives too.” It will grip them! Why? Because it’s going to be effective as it is backed by the power of the Holy Spirit!  This is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. Wherever we are, when we begin to communicate our faith, when we begin to share our faith, distribute our faith—it is with effective supernatural power!

Many Christians are sitting around waiting for some special anointing before they can share the gospel. They’re waiting for some special feeling, some special moment, some special gift. No! In your prayer in preparation to go and minister the gospel, pray this very prayer of the Spirit and then you set out and every time you share the faith, every time you communicate the gospel, it will be accompanied it with God’s power! You don’t need to wait! Don’t be a spectator! Participate! Share the faith! Share your faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ with somebody else, and you will begin to experience manifestations of the power of God that you otherwise would not experience until you start sharing and communicating your faith!

ἐπίγνωσις epignōsis acknowledging – full knowledge, exact knowledge, precise and correct knowledge, deeper understanding, recognition

And then Paul says something profound here—he says this effectual communication happens “by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” That word “acknowledging” is epignosis! This is full knowledge, exact knowledge, precise knowledge of the gospel! And by this knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus, the communication of my faith is filled with power.

There are good things which are in you in Christ Jesus!  When you came into Christ, there were deposits of good things—divine virtues, divine weaponry, divine devices, divine abilities and graces and blessings! Find out what those things are and begin to study them and learn about them so that your sharing will become effective. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 that God has given us these things by His Spirit. And now, as you share the word of God, as you distribute and communicate the message of Christ, the revelation of Christ—your faith becomes effectual! It becomes effective with power! And simultaneously, you begin to interact with these divine deposits! You begin to have deeper knowledge, deeper understanding, deeper relationship with all the blessings that God has placed in you!

You see, there is  a reason why some Christians never grow! They’re not sharing! They’re not communicating! They’re sitting in church, absorbing, absorbing, absorbing—but never distributing! And because they’re not distributing, they never get to experiencing the accompanying power that comes with the communication of your faith! They’re not developing the deeper knowledge!  But when you begin to share, when you begin to communicate your faith—oh goodness!—you enter into a whole new realm of interaction with the things of God!

So what are you going to do? Are you going to continue being a spectator, or are you going to become a distributor? Are you going to start communicating your faith? The world is waiting! People around you need to be gripped by the power of God! And God has chosen you to be the vessel through which His effectual power flows! Every time you share the gospel, it’s not just information transfer—it’s divine power transfer! It’s the effectual, energetic power of God gripping lives and transforming hearts! Glory to God! This is your portion! This is part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the privilege of being a distributor of Your faith! Thank You that every time I communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is accompanied by Your effectual, power! I refuse to be a spectator, and I choose to share my faith boldly, knowing that You grip the hearts of those who hear it. Thank You that as I distribute Your word, I also grow in deeper knowledge and understanding of all the good things You have deposited in me in Christ Jesus, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The faith of the gospel that I communicate and demonstrate is infused and accompanied by the effectual power of God! Every time I share the word of God, it grips the lives of those who hear it because God Himself supplies the effective, miraculous energy! I am not a spectator but a distributor of the faith, and as I share, I interact deeper and deeper with all the divine virtues, abilities, and blessings that God has deposited in me in Christ Jesus, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 12: Effective Communication & Demonstration Of The Word Of God

Prayers Of The Spirit: Deeper Knowledge Through Sharing

Study The Word

Philemon 1:6 
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

 I want you to look at something powerful in this verse that many people miss! The word of God is revealing a divine principle here about how we grow in our understanding of what God has given us. He says that the communication of your faith—the sharing, the distribution of the gospel—produces something incredible: it produces the “acknowledging” – epignosis – full, complete, accurate and exact knowledge with experience.  That means the more you share your faith, the more you interact with the good things that God has already deposited in you,
and interact with the good things that are in you in Christ Jesus, the more you get an understanding of them and a fuller, accurate and precise experiential knowledge of them.

ἐπίγνωσις epignōsis acknowledging – full knowledge, exact knowledge, precise knowledge, deeper understanding, fuller comprehension, experiential knowledge

This word “acknowledging” is epignosis! This is not head knowledge; this is not surface-level understanding! This is full, exact, precise knowledge! A deep understanding! This is a knowledge that comes with interaction and experience of what God has placed inside you! It’s beyond having information in your head that is detached from experience. And listen to this carefully: Paul is saying that this epignosis, this kind of knowledge, comes through the communication of your faith! Think about this: you want to understand more about what God has given you? Then share the gospel! You want to interact with the divine abilities and graces God has deposited in you? Communicate your faith! You want deeper revelation of the blessings in Christ? Begin to distribute the word of God!
Now, this is not a passive sharing, or passive partnership and distribution, but rather you actively participating in the communication of the word of God through preaching the gospel yourself. Not sharing through someone, this is the word coming from and through your own mouth, actively participating and distributing from the study, meditation and mingling of the message within you.
For example, it’s one thing for you to share this article with someone, or a buy them a book that teaches the Word of God and ministers the gospel that I wrote and put together and just hand it to them and walk away – that’s great and there’s a blessing for that. That’s not going to give you epignosis.
But it is another thing for you to study the article, or study the book, get some understanding of the Word that is being taught in the article or book, pray with it and then go and sit down with someone and begin to share with them the message, the teaching and the revelation that is in the book! Ayaa! This is the communication of your faith that the Apostle Paul is referring to here. This is you actively going to speak with your own mouth and sharing your faith with others through your full and exact knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. So, the more you do this, the deeper your knowledge is going to be, you get it?

κοινωνία koinōnia communication – fellowship, partnership, distribution, sharing, communion, participation

That word communication is koinonia—it means fellowship, partnership, distribution, sharing together, communion! This is talking about your oneness with the faith! You being mingled and becoming one with the faith and with the knowledge of the Word of God! And when you now share from that place of oneness, when you distribute from that place of being mingled together with with Word—what happens? You begin to experience deeper interactions! Deeper relations! Deeper understandings! A deeper relationship with the blessings and all the virtues and all the graces and all the abilities that God has deposited in you in Christ Jesus!

This is incredible! Some of you have been praying, “God, give me more revelation! God, show me more of You please! God, I want to know and understand you more!” And God is saying to you through this scripture, “Go and share! Go and communicate the Word! Go and distribute the gospel that you already have and know, and as you do I will show you more!” Because it’s in the sharing that you begin to interact with these spiritual abilities, these spiritual understandings, these spiritual intelligences, spiritual wisdom, divine graces and spiritual blessings! Ayaa!!
See, that’s why I never run dry, everyday the Spirit of God freely gives to me revelations upon revelations upon revelations, abundantly, rivers of living water flowing nonstop daily. And this is why.

Now, as a child of God it is imperative for you to know and accept that there are good things which are in you in Christ Jesus! And every now and again you have to voice it out – “There are good things which are in me in Christ Jesus, the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit, I walk in love!”
When you came into Christ, there were deposits of divine treasures—divine virtues, divine weaponry, divine devices, abilities and graces and blessings! The Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 that “God has given them unto us by His Spirit.” He has given them to us! Hallelujah! When you came into Christ, you were given something, and you have something inside you given to you by the Spirit of God, you are not empty! But many Christians are sitting on divine treasures and they don’t even know it; living like they have nothing.
Yet they have abilities they’ve never activated! They have graces they’ve never experienced! Why? Because they’re not sharing! They’re not communicating! They’re not distributing their faith! So make up your mind today that you’re going to discover who you are, and what God has given to you, and that you’re going to use it!
The world is waiting for you.

ἀγαθός agathos good thing – beneficial, excellent, upright, honourable, virtuous, valuable, useful

Let’s study further; the phrase “every good thing” in the Greek is agathos—it means beneficial, excellent, upright, honourable, virtuous, valuable, useful! God has deposited beneficial things in you! Excellent things! Valuable things! Useful things! And the way you begin to acknowledge them – understand them, interact with them is through the communication of your faith! The more you share, the more you interact with them! The more you communicate the gospel, the more you have deeper knowledge and experience deeper understanding and deeper relationship with all these magnificent and beautiful treasures that God has given us in Christ Jesus!

Listen, this is why some Christians have been saved for twenty years but still have beginner-level understanding! They know about salvation, but they don’t know about the fullness of their inheritance! They know they’re going to heaven, but they don’t know about experiencing heaven on earth! Why? Because they’re not sharing! They’re not communicating! They are addicted to the religiosity of Christianity. They sit in services, taking notes, collecting information, doing all and ticking all the religious boxes—but never sharing!
And because they’re not speaking and sharing, they’re not experiencing the deeper interactions! They’re not experiencing and growing in epignosis!
But when you begin to share—oh my goodness!—it’s like different kind of lights keep turning on! As you communicate the faith, you suddenly understand things you never understood before! As you distribute the gospel, you begin to interact with abilities you didn’t know you had! You develop deeper relationships with the blessings of God! The sharing produces the deeper knowing! The deeper understanding! The more intimate interactions with the divine virtues of God that are in you in Christ Jesus!

So don’t just wait! Don’t be a spectator! Don’t sit around hoping that somehow, mysteriously, you’ll gain deeper understanding! God has given you the key! Communicate! Share the faith! Share your faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ with somebody else! And as you share, watch what happens! You’ll begin to experience manifestations you’ve never experienced before! You’ll begin to understand blessings you never knew you had! You’ll begin to interact with divine abilities that have been dormant in your spirit! This is the divine principle! This is how it works! The communication of your faith produces the knowledge—the full, exact knowledge and experience—of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for revealing to me that as I communicate my faith, I grow in deeper knowledge and understanding of all the good things You’ve deposited in me in Christ Jesus! I refuse to be passive in my spiritual growth, and I choose to actively share the gospel so that I may interact deeper with the divine virtues, abilities, graces, and blessings You’ve placed in my spirit. Thank You that the more I distribute Your word, the more I experience fuller comprehension of my inheritance in Christ, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I communicate my faith boldly, and as I share the gospel, I interact deeper and deeper with all the good things God has deposited in me in Christ Jesus! The more I distribute the word of God, the more I develop full and exact knowledge of my divine abilities, spiritual graces, and heavenly blessings! I refuse to be a passive recipient but an active distributor; and through my sharing, I experience deeper understanding, deeper knowledge, and deeper relationships with the fullness of God’s blessings in my life, in the name of the Lord Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: Equipped For Every Good Work

Study The Word

Hebrews 13:20-21 (KJV) 
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Let me ask you a question: How many of you knew before today that God actually made provisions for your business, for your profession, for your job, for your work in this way that the opening scripture reveals to us? That He gave and prepared ahead of time this prayer because He wants you to succeed in your business, He wants you to succeed in your profession – your job, your work? This is God’s will for you! Hallelujah!

Think about this: God wants everybody to succeed. He wants to supply and provide everyone with everything that you need for you to be a success in that good work, in that good employment, in that good business, in that good work of the ministry, in that good profession. He thought about you. He thought about this time. And He made provisions for you in Christ Jesus for you to succeed! And He prepared this special prayer point of the Spirit and made it ready for you use in this season.

τέλειος teleios perfect – complete, finished, fully developed, mature, having reached its end goal, lacking nothing

Lets study the entire prayer together.  Now look at this word “perfect” in verse 21. In the Greek, it’s teleios, which means complete, finished, fully developed, mature, having reached its end goal, lacking nothing. So when God says He will make you perfect in every good work, He’s not talking about sinless perfection. No! He’s talking about making you complete, perfect in your business, finished in your preparation, fully developed for your profession, equipped with everything for your work of the ministry, having everything you need to reach your God-given goals, lacking nothing for success!  Ultimately it means that God will provide for you everything you need, lacking nothing in order for you to succeed!  Succeed in your job, your profession, your business, your ministry! Oh glory, what a prayer!

This is not just spiritual mumble jumble—this is God’s practical plan of kingdom provision! Whether it’s a business that you want to start but you’ve been unable to start, or it’s a business that you started that is struggling, or a profession or career that you want to get into but you don’t know how or where to start, or you’re saying you don’t have all that is needed to do so, this prayer point of the Holy Spirit is for you! Whether you’ve graduated but can’t find employment, or you’ve been an intern for a long time, or you haven’t been promoted for a long time, or you’re saying I need capital to start the business—this is the prayer point of the Holy Spirit for that situation either in your job, for that situation in your business, for that situation in your profession! God thought about you regarding this. Think about it. Amazing!

ἀγαθός agathos good – ἔργον ergon work – good work, good business, good employment, good enterprise, good occupation, good trade, good deed, good action, good task, good ministry

Shingi how do you know this? Well, we-ll have to look at how comprehensive this word “good work” is—”agathos ergon”. The phrase covers a number of things relating to your work that a lot people have never studied. It refers to your work – job or employment, your business or enterprise, your occupation, your trade, your ministry! So when God says He will perfect you in every good work, He’s covering every arena of productivity in your life! Your business ventures, your professional career, your ministry calling, your job responsibilities—everything! This is incredible!

Now here’s what many Christians don’t understand: You’re a child of God, you’re a Christian, you pay your tithe, you give your offering, you go to church etc, great—but you have to do more, you have to enforce this! You have to forcefully enforce the word of God for your life. Number one, you have to know it. You have to know the word of God for your life. And then you need to use prayer to enforce it. When you find something like this in the Word of God, Hallelujah, you have it made from that moment on! You have it made! Especially if you have it like this in the form of a prayer point from the Spirit!

The phrase “to do his will” uses the Greek word pros, which means toward, for the purpose of, in order to accomplish. So your life in Christ isn’t just randomly unfolding—God has planned for you and He’s daily equipping you with purpose, with meaning! He’s planned to give you resources for the purpose of accomplishing His will! He’ll provide for you in order to make you successful in that specific good work He’s called you to do!

So what does this mean practically? It means those finances that you need for that business—the Lord is perfecting, the Lord will perfect! Those contracts, whatever resources you require, whether they’re financial, material, or human resources that you require for that business—Hallelujah, He will supply and He will perfect! He will supply and repair and restore to perfection and completion everything that you need for you to be a success in that business from today!

Everything that you need to be a success in the work of the ministry—all the resources, all the finances that you need, all the human resources, all the financial resources, all the material resources—may the Lord supply, may the Lord restore, may the Lord equip you with everything that you need! Glory to God! For you to fulfill your destiny in the work of the ministry, for you to fulfill your destiny in a business, in a job, in a profession, the Lord will supply from today everything that you need for you to be the success that He has called you to be in Christ!

Now you can face tomorrow with confidence, with boldness, knowing that you will be a success, you will succeed! Is there a skill that you’re lacking for that promotion? Is there an ability that you’re lacking to start that business? Is there a resource that you’re lacking to expand your ministry? This will of God, this prayer point of the Holy Spirit covers all of that!

You see, some of you might say, “Ah, it’s very difficult to start a business, to get a job.” But you need to use this Word of God! Use this prayer point of the Holy Spirit over your life from today! Use it! War with it! Is it a business that is struggling? Use this prayer point of the Holy Spirit. Use it, and see how things will begin to change in that business!

God is not just concerned about your spiritual life—He’s concerned about your success in the practical, everyday areas of your life! He wants you to prosper in your business. He wants you to excel in your profession. He wants you to advance in your job. He wants your ministry to flourish. This is God’s will! And He’s made provision in His Word for it to happen!

Hallelujah! When you understand this, when you truly grasp that God the Father thought about your business before you were born, that He made provisions for your professional success before you came into this world, that He prepared these prayer points so you could enforce His will of prosperity over your work—everything changes! You’re no longer hoping things might work out. You’re declaring what God has already established: that you are equipped with everything good to succeed in every good work He’s called you to!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You want me to succeed in my business, my profession, my job, and my ministry. I receive Your divine supply today of every financial resource, material resource, and human resource that I need to be a success in my good work. Thank You for perfecting, repairing, and restoring everything I need to fulfill my destiny. I declare that from today, I am equipped and supplied with everything necessary to prosper in every good work You’ve called me to, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Speak The Word

God provides me with everything I need to succeed in my business, my profession, my job, and my ministry! He supplies every financial, material, and human resource required for me to be a success in every good work. I am not struggling or lacking—I am fully equipped and divinely supplied to fulfill my destiny and prosper in Christ Jesus! I face tomorrow with confidence and boldness, knowing I will succeed in every good work, in the name of Jesus!

15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit Day 13: Perfection In The Execution Of His Will & Good Works

Prayers Of The Spirit: Made What You Ought To Be

Study The Word

Hebrews 13:20-21 (AMPC)
Now may the God of peace, who is the author and the giver of peace, who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood that sealed, ratified the everlasting agreement, covenant, testament, strengthen, complete, perfect, and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out his will.

Today we will study this prayer of the Spirit in the Amplified Classic translation. Let’s look at this again: “may the God of peace…strengthen, complete, perfect, and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good!”  This is one of those verses that will absolutely blow your mind when you truly see what God reveals here, especially in this AMPC version. It’s another one of those verses that reveal to you just how much God loves you, how much God cares for you. Just listen to this! He says “strengthen, complete, perfect, and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out his will.”

Think about this for a moment: How many of you prior to reading this actually knew that God made provisions for you in this way? That God was already thinking about this? That He was concerned about whether you would have everything you need to fulfill His will for your life? This is incredible! This isn’t just beautiful poetry in scripture—this is a prayer point of the Holy Spirit! This is God the Father, as a responsible, loving Father, thinking about you before you were even born, before you even came into this world!

καταρτίζω katartizō make perfect – to complete, restore, mend, equip, prepare, make fully qualified

You see, so God in His wisdom was banking on His predestination—that you, would receive the gospel and get born again and you now being in Christ, one day would get to find out what His will is and discover these prayer points of the Holy Spirit, and that you can use them to enforce His will into your life. Hallelujah! He thought about you. He thought about the life you were going to come into this world to face and experience. He thought about the things you would have to face, the things you would have to deal with. And as a loving Father, He prepared this prayer of the Spirit for us so that we could enforce it in prayer and prosper!

Now we looked at the word “perfect” in the Greek—katartizō yesterday which means to complete, to restore, to mend, to equip, to prepare, to make fully qualified! This is being made fit for purpose!  So God is saying that through your establishment of this prayer in your life, “I’m going to restore what’s broken in your life. If anything is not the way it needs to be, He says I’m going to mend, I’m going to furnish and complete what’s lacking and make you fully qualified for the assignment I’ve given you!”

ἀγαθός agathos good – excellent, distinguished, upright, honorable, beneficial, profitable, useful

And then He says He will “equip you with everything good.” And when we look at this Greek word for “good”—agathos. It means excellent, distinguished, beneficial, profitable, useful! So when God says He’s equipping you with everything good, He’s talking about excellent resources, distinguished provisions, beneficial tools, profitable assets, useful equipment—everything that is specifically suited to help you carry out His will! This is how thoughtful and amazing and loving God is!

So God doesn’t want you to be a struggle to fulfill His will! It can never be a struggle when you get a hold of this Word, when you get a hold of a verse like this and it is given to you as a prayer point of the Spirit. You see, some of you have been praying for certain things and you’re not really aware that a lot of these things that you’re looking for, that you want to do, that you want to accomplish, that you’re praying and asking God for—He already included them in His Word in these prayers of the Spirit!

Everyday you must say to yourself, “I am equipped with everything good. I am equipped! Thank You, Heavenly Father, for equipping me, for providing for me with everything good to fulfill Your will!” So stop struggling and striving to succeed in your own strength. Understand that your loving Heavenly Father has already made provision for you to be made what you ought to be. He’s already decided to strengthen you, complete you, perfect you, and equip you with everything good to fulfill your destiny!

 Is there something you’re lacking? Is there a skill you’re lacking? Is there an ability you’re lacking? Is there some resource you’re lacking? This will of God, this prayer point of the Holy Spirit covers all of that! Because when God says He will equip you with “everything good,” He means everything. Not some things. Not most things. Everything that you need to be successful and fulfill your destiny!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are the God of peace who strengthens, completes, perfects, and makes me what I ought to be. I receive Your divine equipping today—everything good that I need to carry out Your will for my life. Thank You for thinking about me before I was born, for making provisions for me in Christ Jesus. I declare that I am not struggling to fulfill Your will because You have equipped me with everything excellent, beneficial, and profitable to succeed, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

The Spirit of God is busy working in me making me what I ought to be! He strengthens, completes, perfects, and equips me with everything good to fulfill my destiny!  God is supplying therefore I am not lacking any skill, any ability, or any resource needed to carry out God’s will for my life. I am fully equipped with everything excellent, beneficial, and profitable to fulfill my divine destiny in Christ Jesus, in the name of Jesus!

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Four-Fold Work of God In You

Study The Word

1 Peter 5:10 KJV
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

There is a divine process that the God of all grace has set in motion for your life, especially after you’ve gone through challenges, trials and the attacks of the enemy. The devil may have roamed around like a roaring lion seeking to devour you, putting all kinds of pressure on you, sending forth attacks and temptations.  But here’s the truth – whatever challenge you’re facing right now is not unique to you. Other Christians all around the world have probably faced something similar or are facing the same thing. The circumstances around it may be unique, but the challenge is the same because the devil doesn’t have new tricks! And that pressure, those challenges – they’re only going to last for a little while.

But after you have suffered a while, the God of all grace who has called you unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus will now do four distinct works in your life. These are not just suggestions or possibilities – these are eternal plans and purposes of God that were established in eternity for your spiritual development and for the perfect will of God to be established in your life!

καταρτίζω katartizō perfect –  mend to perfection & completion, repair to perfection & completion, frame into perfection & completion, fit out/equip to perfection & completion.

The first work is PERFECTION. The word translated “make you perfect” is katartizo in the Greek, which means to restore, to make you complete, to repair or mend to perfection! This is God’s restorative work to bring you to completeness. Whatever the devil broke or stole or delayed in your life during that season of pressure, God is restoring it unto perfection! This is the restorative work that the Holy Spirit will begin to do as you pray this prayer of the Spirit.

στηρίζω stērizō establish – to set fast, fix firmly, make stable, to render constant, steadfast, to set one’s face steadfastly, to strengthen, establish

The second work is ESTABLISHMENT. The word “stablish” comes from sterizo, which means to set you firmly, to make you stable, to render you constant and steadfast! This is about creating a firm foundation in your life – no more up and down, no more here today and not here tomorrow. There’s a stability that God will establish in your life. A stability about your purpose, a stability about the things that pertain to your life! Hallelujah! God is going to make you stable and make you into an establishment!

σθενόω sthenoō strengthen – to make strong, strengthen

The third work is STRENGTHENING. God gives you sthenoo – divine strength of your soul! This is mental strength and emotional strength. The will of God is for you to be strong mentally, to be strong emotionally in every season. Whether it’s a good season or a challenging season, you will be strong in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! You have the mental strength to face anything. You will have the emotional strength to go through any challenge in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Some people lack the strength of will. So they can decide on one thing today, and then at the first sign of some bit of resistance or contrary news or appearance, they change their decision.  In the season of attack or pressure, and devil puts people against the wall, a lot of the times people succumb to the pressure, and it’s not because they’re bad people or they planned to take the wrong actions, decisions or choices. The issue always is that the person didnt have the mental and emotional strength to withstand the pressure; so in that day of adversity they take the wrong decision, wrong choice and ruin or even destroy their lives.  In that moment the person didn’t have the mental strength, and emotional stamina to stand and do the right thing or make the right call; the persons mental and emotional strength was small.  They don’t have a strong will so they succumb to the pressures of life.  If that is you, then this prayer of the Spirit is for you, to be strengthened in your mind, will and emotions. With this you will develop the mental toughness, the sthenoo to take decisions, stick with them and see them through, glory to God!  You will not succumb to the devils pressures in the day of adversity, you will have the mental and emotional strength to stand, the strength of will to take the right decisions and see it through glory to God!

θεμελιόω themelioō settle – to lay the foundation, to found, to make stable, establish

The fourth work is SETTLING. The word “settle” is themelioo, which means to lay a foundation, and to make you into a firm foundation! God is making you into an establishment – a pillar of strength, a pillar of hope, a pillar of encouragement. A firm foundation that is established and that can stand the test of time, that can stand the test of challenges, that can stand the test of trials, that can stand the test of attacks!

These four divine works of the Spirit of God – perfection, establishment, strength and stability – are not random.  These are strategic, especially when you consider the things that going on in the world around us.  You need this. These are the eternal purposes of God for every Christian for this time, especially for the end time because you are going to need them.  And it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been a Christian, how many years you’ve been serving in the five-fold ministry. You require this for your spiritual strength, mental and emotional strength and development, so that you can be a success in these end-times!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, You are the God of all grace who has called me unto Your eternal glory by Christ Jesus. I thank You that from this very moment You begin to make me perfect, You begin to establish me, You begin strengthen me, and settle me in every area of my life, and in my mind, will and emotions. I receive Your restorative work of perfection that makes me complete today. I receive the establishment that sets me firmly with stability in every area of my life. I receive divine mental strength and emotional strength to be strong mentally and emotionally in every season.
Heavenly Father, I receive the settling work that makes me a firm foundation, an establishment that can stand the test of time, challenges, trials and attacks. To You be glory and dominion forever and ever, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Speak The Word

I am called to God’s eternal glory by Christ Jesus, and after being challenged for a little while, God is makes me perfect, establishing me, strengthening me and settling me. I am restored and equipped to perfection and complete stability. I am securely restored and equipped to perfection and complete stability. My mind, will and emotions are established, complete and strong. I have mental strength and emotional strength to face anything, to go through anything in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. My life is a strong foundation and a strong establishment in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Prayers Of The Spirit: The Divine License to Prosper

Study The Word

3 John 1:2 (NKJV)
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

Today we have one of the most powerful prayers of the Holy Spirit found in the entire New Testament. This is the final prayer point of the Spirit in the epistles, and what a glorious conclusion it is! Notice carefully that in the King James Version, the translators rendered this as “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper...” but when you conduct your word study, you discover that the Greek word is euchomai, which is prayer.  So this wasn’t merely a casual wish from the Apostle John to his friend Gaius—this was a prayer inspired by the Spirit of God!  A prayer of the Spirit!

εὔχομαι euchomai pray – to pray, wish, desire, make a vow, invoke blessing

Think about this: some people have the audacity to go around telling God’s children that prosperity is not God’s will for them. They’ve even coined a term—”the prosperity gospel”—as if it were something unscriptural or dangerous. But I want you to understand something today: there is no such thing as a “prosperity gospel.” The gospel, in its purest form and totality, makes men prosper!
The embodiment of the Word of truth from Genesis to Revelation—you cannot go through all of that and come out with the conclusion that prosperity is not part of God’s plan for His children. There must be something wrong with your understanding if you arrive at such a conclusion!

The same people who peddle this ignorance even on big platforms and pulpits, if you ask any or all of them whether they want their own children to prosper or not, if they sincerely were to answer, they will all tell you that do want their own children to prosper. In fact they wake up day and night going about doing everything they can to provide for their children so that their children can have a chance to prosper in life.  And then they have the audacity to claim their speaking on behalf of God saying prosperity is not God’s will? Foolery!

Thank God for the Bible!  3 John 1:2 is a prayer of the Spirit! It was given by inspiration of God to the apostle, written to express the Spirit of God’s intent for a child of God, and therefore it reveals to you the plan and the purpose and the will of God for the prosperity of His children. What kind of loving father would not want his children to prosper? You, as a parent—don’t you want your children to prosper? The same people who claim God doesn’t want His children to prosper are the very ones working day and night to ensure their own children succeed! Can you see the double standard? The hypocrisy?  Don’t listen to that nonsense!  Listen to the word of God!

εὐοδόω euodoō prosper –  a prosperous and expeditious journey, to lead by a direct and easy way, to grant success, to prosper

Now look at this word euodoō—the Greek word translated “prosper.” It means to have an easy path to success, a prosperous and expeditious journey of success! Who wouldn’t want that? God wants you to have an easy way to success. He wants you to succeed easily, to have an easy journey of success in all things. This is incredible! God has literally designed for you a direct and easy way to prosper in everything you do. He wants you to succeed in your business affairs, in your profession, in your ministry, in your relationships—in all things!

So if anyone still has a problem accepting this truth after going through such a word study and they claim to be speaking on behalf of God while saying that prosperity is not His will for you—that is absolutely rubbish!  Just walk away, don’t even waste time. It’s a lie from the pit of hell!

Here’s what you must understand: all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. Whether the apostles were writing to the church in Galatia, whether Paul was writing to Timothy, whether John was writing to Gaius—it was all given by inspiration of God. That makes it the will of God. It tells you God’s intent. And if God’s intent for you is to prosper in all things, then why would somebody go through the Word of God and come out saying the opposite?  Make it make sense.

ψυχή psuchē soul –  the seat of feelings, desires, the mind, will and emotions

The Amplified Version captures it beautifully: “Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health physically, just as I know your soul prospers spiritually.” So God has given you a license to prosper. He has given you a license to succeed. This license was purchased through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. You have the divine authorization to prosper in everything that you lay your hands upon to do! Prosperity is at work in you—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Only prosperity, only success at work in your life! Hallelujah!

So don’t let anybody ever cheat you. Don’t let anyone deceive you into thinking that prosperity is not for God’s children. God put this prayer in Scripture so that you can establish His plan and His purpose of prosperity for your life. Everywhere you go, there’s only success. Everything you do, there’s only prosperity. Everything you get involved with prospers in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
Go and prosper!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You that it is Your will for me to prosper in all things. I reject every lie that says prosperity is not part of Your plan for my life. I thank You that You have given me a divine license to prosper, to succeed, and to have an easy path to success in everything I lay my hands upon to do. I enforce Your will for prosperity in my life today, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word

I have a divine license to prosper! God’s will for my prosperity is established in my life today. Everything I lay my hands upon to do prospers and turns to success. I prosper in my business, I prosper in my profession, I prosper in my ministry, I prosper in my relationships—I prosper in all things! Prosperity is at work in me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the name of Jesus!

The Passion: The Wisdom Of God In Betrayal

Study The Word

Mark 14:10-11

“And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.”

There is something that every child of God needs to understand about the betrayal of Jesus Christ — and once you see it, once the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to it, you will never read the passion narrative the same way again. The betrayal of Jesus was not a tragedy. It was a setup. Glory to God!

Now, before you go any further, I want you to lock this into your spirit: God is never caught off guard. Not by Judas. Not by the chief priests. Not by the thirty pieces of silver. Every single detail of that night — the garden, the kiss, the price — had already been written down by the prophet Zechariah hundreds of years before Judas was even born. Think about this: the prophet said in Zechariah 11:12, “And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.” Hallelujah! They weighed the price. Thirty pieces of silver. And then Matthew 26:15 tells us that when Judas walked into that meeting with the chief priests and said, “What will you give me and I will deliver him unto you?” — they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. Exactly. Word for word. The prophecy came to pass.

שָׁקַל shaqal weighed – to weigh out, pay, assess value, count out payment, measure by weight

That Hebrew word shaqal is the root of the word “shekel” — the currency standard of ancient Israel. When Zechariah said they “weighed for my price,” he meant a transaction was being formally completed. A price was being assessed. A covenant was being sealed. And the price they put on the Son of God? Thirty pieces of silver — the price of a common slave in the Old Testament (Exodus 21:32).  The administrators of the Old Covenant — the ones who were supposed to know the scriptures better than anyone — assigned to the Son of God the value of a slave. Haha! And God called it “a goodly price.” There’s divine irony dripping from that verse. But God wasn’t offended — He was working.

מְחִיר mᵉchîyr price – purchase price, hire, sale value, the amount something is worth

You see, this is what you need to understand about God’s sovereignty. He does not operate reactively. He is never scrambling. Long before Judas ever walked into Caiaphas’s palace, long before the silver coins changed hands in the darkness of that meeting, God had already predetermined it, set it up by design, revealed it in prophecy and had it written through Zechariah. Why? Because the betrayal was the divine mechanism God needed to bring righteous judgment against the corrupt administration of the Old Covenant — those three shepherds, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people — who had enriched themselves while God’s sheep lived in poverty. That is what Jesus was addressing when He delivered the message — “I am the good shepherd.” He wasn’t just speaking a beautiful metaphor. He was continuing from the prophecy of Zechariah and was pronouncing and setting up the stage of the judgment of the three shepherd’s —  the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people. He was declaring that a new administration was coming, the administration of the good shepherd, and that the old one — the one that stole, killed, and destroyed — was about to be cut off. In this Easter month make sure you make some time to listen to our teaching on this The Passion: The Betrayal part 1  and The Passion: The Betrayal part 2, so that you can see and get a greater understanding  of the wisdom of God in Jesus’s betrayal.

Now, in understanding  all of this, what does this mean for you today? It means that whatever looks like the most devastating betrayal in your life is not outside of God’s script. The moment you see what they did to Jesus — and how God used the most treacherous moment in human history as the foundation for the greatest covenant ever established — you stop seeing betrayal the way the world sees it. You start seeing it as God’s setup for something greater. The events that gave us the gospel of Christ were established after His betrayal. It was all a part of God’s plan.  The New Testament — established on better promises, with better provisions, with Jesus Himself taking over from the three shepherd’s as the Good Shepherd and High Priest of a better covenant — and all came after His betrayal. Hallelujah!

Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the perfect sovereignty that You demonstrate through out all generations. Long before I was born, You had already written my redemption and salvation into history and sealed it with the blood of Jesus Christ. I declare that no betrayal, no conspiracy, no scheme of darkness can derail the purposes You have ordained for my life, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Speak The Word
The sovereignty of God governs every detail of my life! What men intend for evil, God is turning for my good! I am hidden in the eternal script of God, and what He has written concerning me cannot be unwritten. I walk in the victory that was purchased at the price of the blood of the Lamb — no weapon forged against me shall prosper, in the name of Jesus Christ!

The Passion: Easter And The Gospel of Christ

Study The Word

Luke 24:44-48 KJV
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  And ye are witnesses of these things.

Every year during this Easter season, millions of Christians celebrate — and that is a beautiful thing. But I want to ask you something today, something I have been asking God’s people for many years now: do you actually know what you are celebrating? Do you know what the gospel of Jesus Christ is? Not in general terms, not in the broad sense, but in the specific, precise, scripturally-defined sense? Because the gospel of Christ is not everything that is good to the ears from the Bible, even though there are many things in it that are “good news”.
See, the gospel of Christ is a specific message. It is not just everything good that you find the scriptures.  It’s a specific message with specific Words!  And that is what Jesus was emphasizing in our opening scripture when he was speaking to certain of His disciples when He said “These are the words”.  So there are specific Words!  And until you understand what that specific message is, you will never fully walk in what it has given you.
Sadly, most Christians were never taught about this so when you ask them they respond with all kinds of responses of what they think or what they were told; but never what the word says.
