You can live a stress-free life when you live your life according to the BOOK.
See for yourself what the Bible say on some issues:
Problem: Are you stressed out because of mounting debts?
Solution: “Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8)
Problem: Are stressed out because someone messed with your feelings?
Solution: “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,” (Ephesians 4:26)
Problem: Are You having spousal troubles?
Solution: “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;…” (Romans 12:9-11)
The Bible is a LIVING BOOK, which contains many solutions for all of life’s issues. The Bible is the Manual that shows you how to live well in this death destined society.
If you apply the principles contained therein to your reality, you will live buoyantly and victoriously.
When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long….Finally, I confessed all my sins to YOU and stopped trying to hide them….. And YOU forgave me. All my guilt is gone! (Psalm 32:3-5,NLT)
The inability to take responsibilities for our sins stems from a faulty mindset and perspective. It originates from our first human parents.
When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, even though their sins were naked to God, they went into hiding rather than to confront their issue.
Things got worse when God asked them about their acts. Instead of utilizing that lifeline to confess/admit to their wrong doing, they played the blame-game. The man accused God and the woman and the woman accused the serpent.
After the incidents, life on earth went south. Everything started deteriorating. Sickness, shame, suffering, sexual sins and other related evils entered into the realm of humankind. (Read up Genesis)
Confession of sins is very important. It stops the downward trend of the life of the sinner, links him/her up with the Christ sacrifice for sins, and brings cleansing. (Read 1John 1:7-9)
Confession of sins and intercession are grace mechanisms that God graciously gave us. In His Omniscience, He knows that as we strive towards perfection, there will be incidences that would make us vulnerable to sins.
Hence James says:
* Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results. (James 5:16,NLT.)
Brethren, forgiveness and cleansing is available because of the CHRIST sacrifice. Utilize it today and have a guilt free conscience and let the peace of GOD garrison your spirit, soul and body, in CHRIST name.
CONCLUSIONS :
In John chapter Five, there is the story of a man who was bound by the spirit of infirmity for 38 years, he got healed when he had an encounter with Jesus Christ.
Later, when Jesus Christ found him in the temple, He said to him: ‘Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (John 5:14,KJV).
Sin promotes illnesses, it makes your soul and body conducive for evil.
However, the Good News is this:
If we confess our sins to HIM, HE is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong (1John 1:9,NLT)
ACTION
Pray Psalm 139: 23-24 which says;
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (KJV)
“Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?”(Job 38:17 KJV)
Oh lala! Can you see what I’m seeing- ‘gates of death’, ‘doors of the shadow of death’? This is deep! This is the first time God highlighted this verse to me!
Hnmm ! David talked about ‘the valley of the shadow of death’ (Psalm 23:4). And Christ reassures the Believer that ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail…’ (Mark 16:18)
I now get it that there are gates and there are doors that God put in place to keep evil in its place! Awesome God! If not for that Divine restraints, evil would have run us off the face of the earth!
In addition, since satan is the master of deception who counterfeits nearly all of God’s moves, he also has gates and doors installed, in an attempt to hinder good from getting to the children of God.
Hence in Psalm 24 God says: ‘Lift up your heads O ye gates; be ye lift up ye everlasting doors…’
Which means we can give commands to those satanic gates and doors.
If you are currently at a place where you are experiencing so much overwhelming evil, that has left you perplexed with life, you need to speak to those gates and doors to lift up for blessings to flood you, from the east, west, north and south!
In like manner, we should also firstly affirm that gates and doors of evil stays shut.
This is Spiritual combat. Refuse to accept the status quo. Even if the Bible says ‘the poor you have with you always’ , did it say you are the poor? Please perish all those religious talks and quit suffering in silence. Hardship, poverty, etc are not synonymous to righteousness.
Take a stand today and command all those devilish negatives assailing you, that are making life unbearably difficult, to go back and remain within the boundaries God set for them.
The Master have set you free. Christ manifested to destroy the works of the devil. Be free indeed! Enforce your liberty
Hallelujah!
Thank You ABBA for this revelation!
Run to the Battle Church!
Stop being cry babies. Contend for the faith! Enforce the victory Christ obtained for us with His life-blood!
Are you born again? Then you are born of God and thus victorious over the world (See 1John 5:4)
Those who know their God are strong and do valiant deeds.(See Daniel 11:32)
Thank God for Revelation knowledge and the enlightenment of your inner man.
Apply the principle of Proverbs 28:13, and 1John 1:7-9
Take some time to just sing songs of praise, worship and adoration to God
Reaffirm your faith in God and recommit your life to God.
Command all the foul spirits assigned against you, along with all their relatives, to go at once to the feet of Christ.
Command every manifested evil, such as sicknesses, consecutive failures, relentless problems, miscarriages, infertility, addictions, etc (customize this list-you can add or remove as applicable) – with relatives to clear out of your life, bloodlines, business, career, academic pursuits etc. and return to the boundaries God set for them.
Decree that from henceforth, no evil shall prosper against you, for your life and everything that pertains or relates to you are hidden in Christ and Christ in God.
Make faith declarations upon your life. Speak good into existence. Remember in Genesis that God called light out of darkness. Call forth good into your life from henceforth.
Believe that God is faithful and already answered you. Therefore, offer Him thanks for confirming His Word and performing your counsel.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #theSpiritualWarrior
“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)
It is so sad to see ‘Christians’ calling out prophets at this time as being false. We are aware that there are ‘false brethren, false prophets and false apostles’
However, this is not the time to spread schism, and other related evils, in the ‘Body’ of Christ. We should be sensitive as to the time we are in.
This is a time for Intercession and Soul Winning. Not a time for whining and name calling.
The Bible says, the sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times (1Chronicles 12:32) They were aware of what time they were living in, and their brethren were at their command.
Do you know that the sons of Issachar were really nothing among their Brethren? But their understanding of the times they were in, put them in the limelight, giving them the needed advantage.
The difference between leadership and followership is in the right application of knowledge. Which comes from having a deep relationship with God.
By the way, wisdom is the right application of knowledge. Christ had been made wisdom to Believers.
So, if you are running your mouth, what is the source of your knowledge? Is your knowledge political, cultural, academic, or Revelational?
The children of Israel knew the works of God whereas, Moses knew the ways of God and God made him their leader. He became very relevant in the move of God for that time.
What happened to those who questioned his leadership style out of jealousy, resentment and cheap popularity? Please search the scriptures.
When you know the ways of God or have an understanding of the times we are in, you will not be quick to judge those whose prophetic utterances may seem to have failed at this time!
Do not despise the grace, goodness or mercies of God.
The Bible states without ambiguity in 1 Thessalonians 5, that the Children Of The Light will have an understanding of the times; for they will be alert and wise. And as they see the day approaching, they will exercise self-control, and be sober!
What do you see?
Do you see the Day approaching, or you are busy looking at lying vanities?
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.”(Jonah 2:8)
Please, just stop all the theories, judgemental questions, name calling and other related evils.
The King’s service requires haste. Let’s be after our Father’s business. Refuse to be distracted. There is an urgency to win souls and build lives for Christ. Do not allow the devil borrow you to use against the Brethren.
Things that are seen are temporal. See beyond the developing stories. Pray to have understanding of the ways of God. His works are commonplace. But His ways need deeper spiritual insight.
What you do not understand about the times, ask God who is All-Knowing.
In addition, if you are born again, “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” (See Luke 8:10)
“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!” (Habakkuk 2:15; Berean Study Bible)
Treachery is a violation of faith and a betrayal of trust. When you deceive or are disloyal to someone who trusts you, you are treacherous.
A treacherous person takes advantage of a person’s weakness in order to ridicule him/her.
If you set people up so as to get evidence against them, you are treacherous and your behavior and action activates divine curses.
Treachery is hated by God.
Treachery shows the person is evil hearted. It points to unforgiveness, bitterness, deep-seated anger, vindictiveness, resentment and other related evils.
The Bible describes a treacherous person as someone having “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief” (Proverbs 6:18)
Because of the anger issues and the unforgiving heart, the treacherous person’s imaginations are filled with plans of how to exact revenge.
And when they follow through on their evil thoughts, consequently, curses are activated against them.
Curses open up the cursed person, for demon activity that enables hardships and failures.
Anyone who takes advantage of a person is disadvantaged already.
For those of you who think it is tech savviness, to secretly record parts of personal conversations, of your friends or relatives, in order to shame them by exposing their weaknesses, you bring yourself under a Divine curse.
Therefore, think twice before you cause provocation and then secretly record the part of your relative or friend’s conversation with you, that shows them in bad light, in order to justify your wickedness.
Remember there is a God who is the righteous Judge of the universe. God sees in secret and rewards openly.
Solution:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2Chronicles 7:14)
Repentance
Repentance involves an acknowledgment of wrongdoing to God. (See 1John 1:7-9).
Detail what you did before God.
Those who cover their sins will not prosper: Whereas, those who confess and forsake them will obtain mercy.
Restitution
Restitution involves apologizing or making peace with the person whose trust you betrayed. (Matthew 5:23-24)
Treachery causes shame and deep hurts, which causes chain reactions, leading to long-lasting animosity and revenge.
That’s how family vendetta begins.
But when you humble yourself before God in repentance and then apologize to the hurting person, you check-mate the consequences.
Which will result in you having peace with prosperity.
Warfare Prayer
ABBA Father, thank you that you have overlooked my sins in the days of my ignorance.
I acknowledge that I have behaved in a treacherous manner against those who are close to me and who felt safe with me.
In accordance with your Word, I receive forgiveness and cleansing from every unrighteousness.
I ask that because of your enduring mercies, and the speaking blood of Jesus Christ on my behalf, delete all evil memories and heal all hurts- repressed or active in the soul of those I hurt.
I now function with the breastplate of righteousness and I henceforth refuse to be vindictive, manipulative, angry, self righteous, bitter, self vindicating and other related evils.
I command all the evil spirits influencing negatives against me, to go at once to the feet of Christ, with all their relatives.
The love of God flows through me to others, for as God is, so am I in this world. The peace of God garrison’s my soul. Grace and favor is working for me, in Christ’s matchless name.
If you can relate with this content, kindly share your testimony with us.
Let’s look at 2 scripture verses that will drive the point home :
1.” Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43 :19)
2 .”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The promises of God are Yeah and Amen. They are true and absolutely dependable.
The scripture from Isaiah is a Prophetic utterance pointing to a future event. Whereas the 2 Corinthians scripture Testifies to an accomplished fact.
The person who is holding to Isaiah is way behind the one who affirms the finished Work of the Cross.
You Can translate the promises of God to your reality simply by affirmation.
Affirmation is synonymous to declaration, proclamation, assertion, pronouncement and statement.
What you believe you should declare with your mouth.
It’s just like when you got born again.
You believed in your heart the Word of faith which you heard. It may have been spoken in a church meeting, or via the mainstream or social media. But you received it in your heart. You accepted it. You believed it. That is the defining factor.
What you heard with your ears, you believed in your heart.
According to Romans 10:10: “with the heart one believes unto righteousness”.
When you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart you placed your life in His hands. You gave your life to Him and thus you got lifted up in Him far above principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, thrones, dominions, curses, yokes – whether they be ancestral or whatever. You got repositioned.
A change occurred in your life in the spirit realm. You may not look like it or even realize it, but you are no longer the mere mean and inconsequential you. You have become a child of the most high God.
In order for the spiritual to manifest in your physical reality, you get to put your mouth to work for you.
Let’s go back to the second part of Romans 10:10 which says –
“with the mouth confession is made unto salvation ”.
Another word for salvation is deliverance.
With your mouth you declare your deliverance. You pronounce what you have believed in your heart that Christ has accomplished for you. You say what the Word says about your condition making it your own.
It’s no longer a promise of “behold I will do a new thing” as per Isaiah, but a declaration of the victory :”behold, all things are become new” as per the New Testament.
For those who believe in Christ Jesus, the promises of God is a done deal. Christ has made it ours in Him.
Until you appropriate and affirm the things Christ accomplished for you, you will continue to recycle old problems.
The Good News is that the old is passed away and behold all things are become new.
Ignorance has kept us in bondage long enough. Through knowledge the just is delivered. Today is your day of deliverance.
No way are you continuing in this new year with the same mental attitude that kept you bound to fear of the unknown.
We are making progress – upward and forward is our course.
We are not of them who look back to perdition. We are the righteous who live by faith. Hebrews 10:38-39- (Common English Bible) says:
“We aren’t the sort of people who timidly draw back and end up being destroyed. We’re the sort of people who have faith so that our whole beings are preserved.”
We are the righteous ones. Our faith in God made us right with God, – Reread Romans 10:10.
As you proceed in the new year, determine to live by faith and not by fear.
Be bold. Be brave.
The righteous are lion-bold. Timidity has no place in our nature.
The nature of the Believer is boldness, bravery and excellence. Because the Greater One lives in us
The reason some believers are disadvantaged, underutilized, sidelined, marginalized etc is because their mind is set to fear instead of it being set to faith.
Faith is loud. It’s bold. It makes a statement. Faith declares – it affirms what the Word says about any given situation.
I present to you, 2021 the year of The FAITHFULNESS OF GOD.
Glory be to God.
Take a minute to review your past and give God praise for how far HE has brought you.
Then start giving 2021 Instructions. Manifest your sonship because all creation is waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God who you are.
Call out light from darkness. 2021will be what you call it. God bless you
Earlier in the year 2020, God spoke to me through Romans 8:28,
“…that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28)
I had no idea the coronavirus was going to become a trial of faith for us Christians, and that the scripture was going to be proven to be right, for so many Christians.
We survived the viruses, the lockdown, the protests, the breakdown of law and order, the crackdown and witch hunt, the harsh weather conditions plus hostility of law enforcement officers, and so many other evils.
In the midst of all things, we not only survived, God preserved and prospered us. We have excelled and made great strides in life and ministry.
While there was a pulling down in the world, there was and still is a lifting up for God’s people.
Indeed, God caused all things to work together for the good of those who love Him and who are ‘the called’ according to His purpose.
The same God who kept us safe, well and prosperous in 2020 is still God and God alone. He frustrates the token of liars, and turns the wisdom of their gurus to foolishness. He also disappoints the devices of the crafty so their enterprises fail. He returns the wickedness of the wicked upon them.
Although the devil and evils exist, I refuse to grant them any liberties with me: for I know who I am, and in Whom I have believed.
Confidently, we move into 2021. Knowing that no matter the insidiousness of the devil through his evil spirits and human agents, “God pass dem’ as they would say in Nigeria. Meaning, they are no match for God.
2021 has been one of my best years so far because of God’s faithfulness.
Holdfast to God’s Word to you. Listen to the New Year’s declarations Ministers of God will make, and make it your own. Treat it as God’s personal Word to you.
“Believe in the Lord your God; so shall ye be established. Believe His prophets; so shall ye prosper.”(2Chronicles 20:20)
