Scripture verses that points to right living

How can I overcome fears?

For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline – 2 Timothy 1:7.
I once heard a preacher describe fear as, false-evidence-appearing-real.

Google describes fear as ‘an unpleasant feeling triggered by the perception of danger, real or imagined’.

The Two kinds of fear:

Biblically, fear has two aspects to it. One is the  fear of God- which speaks of reverence, and submission to God, which is our duty. This kind of fear is desirable and commanded (See Ecclesiastes 12:13).

However,  the second kind of fear is demonically influenced . The Bible calls it ‘the spirit of fear’. This can be cast out (see 2Timothy 1:7, 1John 4:18)

Don’t give fear room to fester:

Dear friends, satan’s team A is led by fear. As soon as you allow fear in, team B who had surrounded your perimeter will infiltrate, in order to agonize, steal, kill, and destroy your well-being, your finances, relationship, and faith in GOD. 

The Bible says, fear has torment (1John 4:18). Which means that, whatever you allow to scare you, has the ability to make life unbearable for you. Because, your fears will come upon you, as Job discovered.(See Job 3:25)

How to overcome fears:

1  Confront it:

Identify your fears, Know why you are afraid- analyse your fear. Then ask God’s help to overcome it.

2 Disallow it:

This is where you need self control. Once you feel fear fixing to come, refuse to let it run wild with your imaginations. Stop it right there.

ACTION: #boldlyDeclare 

 ‘ I refuse to be afraid or anxious about anything, the Lord is my strength and my salvation. Fear has no room in me, and I am free from all anxieties. For Peace from God floods my soul now,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

3. Cast it out:

 The Bible reveals that love can be weaponized. For “perfect love casts out fear ‘ (1 John 4:18)

Well, if you are born again, you already have God’s love poured out into your heart (See Romans 5:5)  

Which equips you with the ability to Love GOD with the entirety of your being, and to love others as you love yourself *(See Matthew 22:37-40)

When you love God completely, your mind will rest in the assurance that God is for you, and He’s got you covered (Read Psalms 27and 91)

When love of God becomes your focus, fears and anxiety attacks can never plague you.

4  Shut it out:

Unaddressed sins allow for demon activities. Fear denotes a lack of faith in God. For whatsoever is not of faith is sin (See Romans 14:23)

But if  you come clean with God about your fears, He will forgive your sins, and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (See 1 John 1:7-9)

ACTION:

Confess your faithlessness, and receive forgiveness of sins and the enabling grace for spiritual growth.

5 Grow spiritually:

If you are really serious about overcoming fearfulness, you must ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ'(2Peter 3:18). To do that, you have to :

  1. Engage in daily personal Bible study. (You can subscribe to a one year daily Bible reading plan, such as YouVersion has).
  2. Pray to God always.
  3. Join a Christian Church fellowship in you county.
  4. Tell others about your faith in God, and how beneficial the relationship has been.
  5. Fast regularly.
Conclusion :

If you are fearful or constantly have anxiety attacks, know that demons are attacking you. 

And, in order to overcome the spirits of fear and their relatives, as well as stay free of them, you need to work on improving your relationship with God.

Therefore, be sober, be vigilant, and don’t allow evil spirits of fear to prey on you. Confront them with the shield of faith and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God 

For Further Studies, Read  1Peter 5:8-9 Ephesians 6:16-18; Philippians 4:6-7, 

 Refuse to be afraid.  God’s got you.

Let us Pray:

Father God, we thank you for giving us the spirit of power, love and a sound mind. We acknowledge our fearfulness, and receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing for all unrighteousness.

I….(mention your name) declare freedom from all fears, and do hereby affirm that God’s love is perfected in my heart. And I refuse to be anxious about anything but will from henceforth, pray about everything. I believe in my heart that God whom it pleases to grant me the kingdom, cannot withhold anything good from me. I am thankful for the grace of fellowship and the privilege of having God as my Father, in Jesus’ matchless name. Amein.

Does Necromancy lead to demonization?

Answer:                                      Yes it does absolutely! That is why the Bible asks-

“…Should the living seek guidance from the dead? (Isaiah 8:19; NLT)

What is Necromancy?    Nec·ro·man·cy is the practice of communicating with the dead in order to predict the future.

Necromancy  is also an aspect of occultism that is classified under magic practices. 

In addition, occultism is the antithesis – is in direct opposition to God and Christianity.

To the Christian Believer, God says;

“Don’t…try to use any kind of magic or witchcraft to tell fortunes or to cast spells or to talk with spirits of the dead.” (Deuteronomy 18:11, CEV)

The reason is this:                             ‘all who do such is abominable to God’                        (See Deuteronomy 18:12) 

And the Penalty is death:              “Men and women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense.” (Leviticus 20:27 NLT)

Death is separation from God.       Anyone who is not under the authority of God is definitely in subjugation to satan, which places the individual  in demonic torment.

Involvement with any form of occultism  increases demon activity. 

Solution:

When you are facing challenges, Seek God through Jesus Christ the only and perfect Mediator (See 1Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 9:15)

Christ  understands what you are going through for He has been there before. The Bible says:                    “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 NLT)

Be aware dear people of God, that satan is the avowed enemy of both God and Humans- he wants you to self-destruct since he cannot kill you because you are off his reach.         So, he entices and deceives you, to do things which God abhors, in order to alienate and isolate you for easy preying. 

When you as a child of God do what HE expressly forbids, and seek help from agents of satan, you have of your own freewill handed your life over to the devil for torment.

If you are interested in breaking the bondage to satan, say the #prayer below:

Let us Pray: #strategicWarfarePrayer

ABBA Father, we thank you for this revelation of Your Word that has brought enlightening to your people.

We identify with everyone that this Word convicted  in their hearts.  We acknowledge involvement with necromancy and other related branches of occultism. 

I…..( mention your name) hereby renounce satan and all his gifts of divination, bloodline mediumistic abilities, and all related satanic spiritual gifts. 

Thank you Father for your faithfulness,  in forgiving our sins and cleansing all our unrighteousness, in accordance with your Word (See 1John 1:7-9).

I….( mention your name) hereby receive a fresh unction from the Holy Spirit and rededicate my life and bloodline to God. 

And I also declare my household and I,  Accept,  Believe and Confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord of our lives. 

I hereby command to go at once to the feet of Christ,  abd with all their relatives,all evil spirits that are tormenting, oppressing, intimidating, manipulating, obsessing, or controlling us. Whether they are assigned to us or conjured by us, we refuse to interact, accomodate or acquiesce any further with them.

We proclaim all links to the forces of evil  destroyed and All works of satan manifesting as hardship,  frustrating circumstances, illnesses,  poverty and related evils, are destroyed. 

From henceforth,  we walk the pathways of righteousness, faith in God, victories, supernatural favors, ease of accomplishment and the grace to enjoy all the benefits of Salvation.

Thank you for deliverance, healings and restoration to Godly standards,  in the mighty name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

From our Prayer Closet: General Intercession.

Prayer is the most you can do for anyone, and for yourself. Your prayer calls down the power of God to function in your world.

Bible  Base:

Therefore, first of all I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people— for kings and all who are in authority—so we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and respectfulness. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior. 1 Timothy 2:1‭-‬3 TLV

Prayer: Father, we glorify your name. We exalt you. We appreciate all you’ve done, are doing and will continue to do for us and for our world.

We proclaim that your name is exalted in all the earth. In adoration we bow before your throne. We sing hallelujah,  glory, hosanna. For you alone are worthy of our praises  

Our Lord Jesus, you are exalted in the highest heavens, and we in you are seated over the world and everything in it. Thank you for life giving sacrifice 🙏 which restored us to fellowship with ABBA 

We are grateful for your love ❤️ that has taken over our lives. Our strong confidence is in you.

Thank you Jesus for calling us to glory and honor, and for rolling away reproaches from us, establishing us as the avenue to bring praises to your worthy name, through our ministries

Song: I praise you oh God I praise you – Almighty God. In our lives, we see what you are doing. All the time, We lift our voices in praise of your Holy name 2x.

Our God and Savior, continue to be at the head and center of our lives. 

We are yielded to you and commit daily to going whereever you lead us.

Jesus, you are our shepherd.

Thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in and works through us. 

We are yielded to His guide and guidance and will never be deceived by strange voices or doctrines of devils.

Purify our hearts dear Father.  ♥️ Search and cleanse us from all superfluities of the flesh and continue to make it impossible for us to sin against you, or walk in contradiction with your perfect will for our lives and ministries.

We repent of all sins and affirm that sin, even pet sins, no longer have dominion over us, for we now live lifestyles that showcase righteousness and faith.

We receive your help for effectiveness in our ministries and thankful for the new parenting skills and ministry gifts you are manifesting through us.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, We come against all the forces of evil assigned against us and those we are representing in this prayers. 

We call a stop to all demonic activities that are directed against all our children by birth, by adoption, by marriage, and by faith; as well as those who are currently undergoing counseling and special prayers  with us, including our groups and page families. 

All such evil spirits are to proceed at once to the feet of Christ Jesus.

All the works of satan, manifesting in the lives of everyone we are representing, should  start to self -destruct at once to the glory and praises of God. 

Because Christ Jesus manifested to destroy the works of satan, all forms of addictions, addictive behavior, lusts and sexual immorality; indebtedness,  sicknesses, illnesses, diseases,  abuses, yokes and curses are to self-destruct at once.

I release to everyone we are representing in this prayer session, the goodness of God that leads to repentance, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit that quickens. As well as God’s enabling grace to supernaturally overcome all challenges, and become better and stronger.

We command all chains of afflictions to be destroyed at once. All yokes of oppressions are disabled, witchcraft projections neutralized, and terminal illnesses terminated.

All satanic plans and projections in our nations of domicile are wasted efforts- they are neutralized at inception. 

All leaders of nations who have yielded their souls to the devil willingly or forcefully, are hereby replaced by those who are sold out to the Almighty God the creator and sustainer of the universe, and who still rules in the affairs of nations.

Our nations are dedicated to God and the Church of God prevails over the forces of evil. 

Thank you God  for the Body of Christ is awake to their responsibilities and are united in the Spirit and in the bond of peace.

We are grateful that the Church persecuted triumphs over all persecution and persecutors. 

 Thank you for provisions, sustenance, moral and spiritual support from all the Saints for the Church persecuted.

More blessings be upon our families and all our ministry partners and consistent givers. Bless them beyond measure for our sake 🙏. 

All this we pray in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

How can I be delivered from pornography?

Answer:

It is important to acknowledge the sin, be willing to give it up, ask God’s help in overcoming the urges, and to neutralize the forces of evil that are influencing the habit by engaging in

 #spiritualWarfarePrayer

Change your mindset:

In confronting the issue of sexual immorality and Christian Liberty, Paul wrote –

You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything. (See 1Corinthians 6:12,Nlt)

You must refuse to be enslaved or controlled by anything

Only through spiritual warfare can you regain your self-control and freedom from the demonic hordes you allowed into your life, when you yielded to the urge or cravings for the things of the world.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer:

(This is not a one-time off activity. Like the widow in Luke 18, you must keep praying until you are free. satan is unrelenting and does not let his prey go easily. It is your responsibility to keep enforcing the Finished Work of Jesus Christ in your life and in your world

When you live in righteousness, you will have peace and joy.)

Bible Base for the prayer:

“15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.(1John 2:15-16, NLT)

#warfarePrayer

We join you in thanking God for putting in you, the desire to be rid of this spiritual cankerworm.

I identify with you, and confess as sin, lust of the flesh (craving for physical pleasure), lust of the eyes (craving for everything seen),  the pride of life (craving for achievement and possession), addiction (dependence on anything other than God), and addictive behaviour (enslavement to cravings).

We plead the blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness, cleansings, separation, and the healings of our souls and bodies affected by the viewing of naked bodies, sexualy explicit movies and other pornographic materials.

#boldlyDeclare

From today, I…..(mention your name), 

renounce satan, sexual immorality, pornography in its entirety, addiction and addictiveness with all their relatives.

 I affirm that I have repented and I am no longer under the domination of satan nor controlled by impulses, cravings or sexual perversions 

I am born again and my life belongs to God. The Word of God richly resides in my Soul, and my body is the Holy abode of God. Amein.

* By the authority invested on me as a royal priest, I command to leave you at once, and go with all their relatives to the feet of Jesus,  all the evil spirits assigned or attached to you, along with those influencing cravings, sexual sins, addiction to drugs, substances and addictive behaviour.

*I proclaim that your appetites, desires, feelings, affections, volition/willpower, mind/reasonings and all the faculties of your soul and physical senses have been cleansed by the power of God that is working  in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure.

*Receive the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings salvation, healings, deliverance, prosperity, and restoration.

The Master has set you free, and you are free indeed, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Follow-up:

However, do not return to pornography and related evils, lest something worse happen to you.

Replacement:

You must start the Christian Discipline of :

Regular Bible Study: (subscribe to a 1 year Daily Bible Reading plan from YouVersion etc.)

Unceasing Prayer: Always talk to God about your challenges and thank Him for your victories.

Fellowship with others: Christianity is a “together-faith”. Join a Christian Bible-living Church near you. It will help your spiritual growth.

Intercede-Pray for Others:  Others prayed for your repentance and restoration. Keep the chain going.

Testify: Offer the fruit of your lips to God: 

As you share the testimony of your victories with others, you are praising God. Tell people how God helped you. It will encourage them to persevere in faith!.

God bless you. From Hephzibah ChristlyTheSpiritualWarrior

What is the best weapon for Spiritual Warfare?

Answer. The Worship of God is the most effective weapon for spiritual warfare.

The two sides to Worship:

1. GODLY LIVING: We Worship God by living a life that points others to His goodness, faithfulness, veracity, patience, etc (More in Galatians 5:22-23)

2. VOCALIZING : We also Worship God by offering the fruits of our lips to Him by singing songs of praises to Him, preaching about Him, and sharing testimonies of His goodness with others, praying to Him, as well as fasting in order to interact better with Him. (Hebrews 13:15)

The devil craves attention. However, Worship removes attention from the problems, enabling you to focus on God.

As you worship God with the way you live, as well as in singing songs of adoration to Him, you will call His power into play in your circumstances.

God is Omnipotent, and He inhabit the praises of his people. (See Psalm 22:3)

Furthermore, the Bible say that when your ways please God, He’ll make even your enemies to be at peace with you. (See Proverbs 16:7)

Which means that instead of wasting your time to battle your foes, just convert that time and energy to the worship of God.

Examples of those who used praise as a weapon for warfare:

King Hezekiah:

On two occassions when king Hezekiah received bad news, his first responses were to humble himself and approach God for help, mercy, and guidance (See Isaiah 37:14-15; 38; 2Kings 19:14-15)

And God exalts those who humble themselves before Him. (See Matthew 23:12)

King Jehoshaphat:

When an alliance of nations came after the Kingdom of Judah, king Jehoshaphat, sought God with all his heart. He turned all his people to praying-warriors; while the praise-worshippers were at the forefront of the warriors. All their foes were exterminated. (See 2Chronicles 22:9; 20)

King David:

King David was a man after God’s heart. He was a warrior king who had developed a strong bond with God in his youth.

As a young shepherd boy he spent his time playing his flute in worship of God.

As he grew in intimacy with God, his bravery and boldness grew also. So much so that he killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands.

And when he faced Goliath, He confidently confronted, overcame and removed shame from his people.

David did not need to exert much energy for that battle. Just one sling of stone and the giant was downed and killed. (Read about David in 1st & 2nd Samuel; 1st & 2nd Chronicles).

Worship infuses divine energy and enables you to be wise and strategic in any battleground.

How the Omnipotent God showed up for worshippers.

Daniel:

Daniel chose to worship God and face the consequences for his decision. He was thrown into the lion’s den. But God shut the lions mouth and he was saved (See Daniel 6)

The 3 Hebrew Young guys:

Shadrach Meshach and Abednego chose to face the fiery furnace of fire, than not worship God. They were saved. The smoke was not even on them! (See Daniel 3)

Paul: Murderer turned Missionary:

Paul/Saul chose to witness about Christ rather than enjoy his status amongst the pharisees. He excelled in all God called him to do. He finished the course!!! (Read Acts of Apostles, Philippians, 2Timothy 4:7-8)

I could go on and on about how several Bible characters were delivered just by worshiping God with their lifestyles-how they lived.

Hannah was delivered from barrenness and its relative insults when she left her problems and went to her place of safety in God. She worshipped God with her prayers of anguish for a male child. And God granted her request. (1Samuel 1:2-20)

Rehab the harlot forsook the gods of her land and worshipped God by her reverential fear of Him. She couldn’t care less about the wrath of her king if she was found out hiding the spies. She identified with God by the action of hiding the spies. Which in itself was an act of worship. And she got mentioned as a heroine of faith! (Read Joshua 6, See Matthew 1:5; Hebrews 11)

Conclusion:

Worship is not just slow-rythym songs. Worship is the lifestyle of those who have faith in God.

We are not called to be constantly in the battlefield of life. The devil is already a defeated foe.

The Human being was created to enjoy worship with God- to fellowship with Him.

Although in Adam, Humanity lost the grace of having fellowship with Divinity, Christ came and restored that link to God.

Now, we who are in Christ Jesus, are called by God’s name, created for His glory, and recreated for goodworks. (See 1Corinthians 5:17; John 1:12, Ephesians 2:10; Isaiah 43:7)

Although Spiritual warfare is an ongoing combat for the Souls of the lost, the devil is already a defeated foe. Therefore, we do not stress.

The knowledge of God that we have, and the intimacy we share with Him, emboldens and enables us do exploits with words from our mouths. (See Daniel 11:32).

Power is in our mouth. When we make declarations, praise God or preach, we are speaking things into existence and recreating our world.

In Christ Jesus in whom dwells all the fulness of the Godhead, and who is head over all principality and power; We have the advantage over all the forces of evil- no matter how lofty, fat, thin, fearful-looking, etc they may be (See Luke 10:19; Ephesians 2:4-6; Colossians 2:7-10)

As we worship God in our lifestyles (by doing good deeds, and living a life of exemplary conduct), as well as with our Words (preachings, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving, sharing testimonies, dancing, etc.), God will beautify us with salvation (deliverance) Read Psalm 149: 1-end.

Worship calls the power of God into your battles. You won’t need to fight. But to stand still and see God display His Omnipotence. Hallelujah!

Prayer:

Thank You God for the grace to worship you in Spirit and in Truth. We proclaim you are our God and our King, the Monarch of the universe who rules in the affairs of nations. Our lives will show forth your praises, and many will be attracted to you by the radiance of your glory that we carry. Be exalted o God. Be big in our lives. Take your place in every aspect of our beings and be magnified. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amein!

A 30days of Intercession: Day 25: Prayer Goals: Folks to come out of the Closet as Christians.

  • To the Bible:

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.” (Luke 9:26 NLT)

  • Introduction:

“Now when the men of the Sanhedrin (Jewish High Court) saw the confidence and boldness of Peter and John, and grasped the fact that they were uneducated and untrained [ordinary] men, they were astounded, and began to recognize that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13 AMP)

Greetings dear Praying-Partners.  Today, we are going to intercede for Closet-Christians.

Christianity as a way of life is loud. 

If you are a Christian, as in a Follower of Jesus Christ,  your righteousness will be evident to all. 

Your manifesting the characteristics of Christ will expose who you are. 

Christianity is a loving relationship with God, characterized by a daily faith-walk with Christ Jesus.

Our opening scriptures point to how evident it was that Peter and John were disciples of Christ, even in the face of persecution and religious bigotry!

Although they were uneducated formally in any prestigious-secular-school, their lifestyles and language showed their higher spiritual education.

Though they seemed like ordinary men, they did extraordinary faith-exploits in the name of Jesus Christ. 

They were articulate, brave, and bold in expressing their faith, and in confronting the forces of evil and the politicians if their time. 

Peter and John were not confused about their spiritual identity and relationship with Christ- it was displayed in their self-confidence, God-honoring words and faith motivated actions. 

In our world today, Christian folks have to stand up for their beliefs.  

Enough of hiding in the closet because you do not want to offend!

The Bible says to ‘Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.’ (Read 1Peter 3:15)

Christ is our model! 

Though he was meek and gentle,  He was no pushover! He stood up positively against the religious bigots and politicians.

 He was no coward. His words were unfiltered Truths as He confronted issues, persons and evil spirits.

He was a visionary-missionary who focused on the goal. He boldly declared : “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me and to accomplish his work’ (Read John 4:34) 

  • #BoldlyDeclare ;

‘ I refuse to allow anything to stand in the way of my relevance in this world. Christ must be seen in me and through me. I am the burning and shining light in my generation who is leading many folks to glory. Nothing can hold me back or stop me as I move upwards and forward, displaying the virtues of God who delivered me from the domain of darkness and established me as a praise upon this earth. I am a visionary- missionary and my food is to do the will of Father God and finish the work. Glory be to God. Hallelujah!’

Folks, we should stop playing the victim in this world. In Christ Jesus, we are victorious over the world. Christ has overcome the world and restored our dominion over this world. The powers that be are subject to us. This is our world. Let us stand up and stand out. Let us pray.

  • #PrayerPoints4Today:

A 30days of Intercession: Day 23: Prayer Goals: Excel in my Divine Purpose.

  • To the Bible:

““You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14‭, ‬16 AMP)

  • Introduction:

A long time ago, I got tired of recycling avoidable mistakes and relearning hard lessons. It did not make room for progress. 

I was stuck in a bad place, with a bad heart attitude, even though I was born again, and a minister!

So I cried out to God for help. Then the Holy Spirit dropped it in my Spirit to pray thus ‘”ABBA, make it impossible for me to disobey you, and to be yielded to your will alone”

Well, if you need a scripture base for that Prayer, look up the story of Balaam, the mercenary prophet in the Bible. (Read Numbers chapters 22 to 24)

For the records: the only similarity between Balaam and me back then, was the domination of self-will. 

I was headstrong and did things my way- I did whatever seemed right, and neglected the will of God. Which was detrimental for me and the fulfillment of my Divine purpose.

The more resistant I was to the Divine will, the more I suffered frustrating circumstances. 

And the circle of disobedience – discipline – suffering – repentance – restòration – disobedience;  continued. It was so frustrating.

You do not make progress when you keep going in circles.  

We learn obedience by what we suffer. (Read Hebrews 5:8) But for some people, the lessons are short-lived. (Read the Bible book of Judges for a clearer understanding)

I had to learn the lessons of obedience and willingness to submit to the will of God, in order to go forward.  

God is a patient and perfect teacher.  And until you learn the  lessons, you don’t go to the next assignments or levels. He may change the location of tte classroom and the visual-teaching aids, but the subject matters are the same.

Moses is a case study: 

For 40 years he was in training in the palace of Pharaoh (Read Acts 7:22) He lived like a prince and had an ideal environment for learning. However,  he flunked the test, and school changed to the desert of the Midianites for another 40 years. (Read Exodus 2:11-15)

You can learn from experience, precept or observation. Although I was having bad experiences, the lessons learned were short lived.  As soon as I repent and am restored,  the mistakes are repeated and the suffering continues worse than it was.

I really did not like how my life was going, but I could not get out of the quagmire of self-will. 

The more I tried to come out by my own efforts,  the more I was sucked into the quagmire.  

I needed help. In humility, having reached the end of myself, I cried out to God. And swiftly, the Holy Spirit rescued me from myself and gave me the Prayer point. “ABBA, make it impossible for me to disobey you, and to be yielded to your will alone”

I truly learned obedience and yieldedness to God through suffering.  However,  you do not need to suffer like me, you can learn obedience by precepts as well.

After I prayed that prayer, I followed up with in depth Bible research.  And persistently, I kept declaring – ” I have yielded to God and my will is submerged in His will, I am Spirit filled and Spirit led and my life glorifies God.”  

My life has never been the same again. I started enjoying unprecedented progress, superabundance and unlimited goodness. 

The Ministry which was burdensome and very challenging changed. It became more enjoyable and fulfilling, as it became easier to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Today’s prayer point is specially for you my Praying-Partners. 

I may not know where you are at, or what you are going through, but I do know that you need to stop going in circles so that you can fulfil your divine purpose. Let us pray.

  • #PrayerPoints4Today:

SALVATION PRAYER

If you are not a born again child of God, Here is salvation prayer for you to say out loudly.
“O Lord God “

I believe He’s alive today.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day.

Keep talking to God in prayer about your issues, it is more productive than complaining.

Day 36: Intensive 40 days Prayer…

Day 36: Prayer Focus: Vitality.

  • Scripture Base: Romans 8:11

“And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.” (Romans 8:11 AMP)

  • Introduction:

Greetings people of God.  When one’s vitalized by the Holy Spirit, the individual’s performance is enhanced with excellence. 

At 120 years old, Moses was still agile in carrying out his God assigned work.

Caleb at 80  faced giant issues. (Read Joshua 14:6-15)

In my prayers today, I was led to understand that there is nothing that can limit a person who is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and strengthened with might in the inner man. 

If the grave could not hold Jesus captive, and He resurrected: and that same Spirit lives in me, age and body functions cannot determine my service years!

To be vitalized is to be animated or quickened . To give life and strength to or to power with vigor.

That was the reason some of the Old Testament saints were able to do extraordinary things in their time.

Take Samson as an example.  Even though he messed up bigtime, when the Spirit of God came upon Him, he completed his assignment. (Read Judges 16: 22-31)

Retirement should not be an issue for those in God’s service.  Christianity is a life of service. The Bible says those who believe have entered into His rest! (Read Hebrews 4:3)

 In God’s service, there is rest from what ails those in secular service. God’s service rewards are out of this world.  He rewards to a thousand generations those who love Him.( Read Deuteronomy 5:10; 7:9)

If you are presently at a place where you feel worn out and ready to quit, you are observing lying vanities and forsaking your own mercy.

Arise soldier,  we must work while it is still day, and the King’s Service requires haste!  Let us redeem the time for the days we are in, are evil. Souls are perishing and like Moses, you are the deliverer to your people and the answer to the prayers of many folks. If you retire now, who will God use to help them?

Know who you are in Christ and stand strong. Your body cannot dictate your service terms. You are the salt of the earth. Shalom!
