The Impartation Of His Power:

TUESDAY, 2ND SEPT, 2014
-Pastor Chris

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick
handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them (Acts 19:11-12).

In our previous study, we understood
that the Word of God carries the life
and power of God in it. We also
referenced how diverse miracles
ensued, as a result of the
handkerchiefs and aprons that were
taken from the body of Paul and placed
on the sick. Those handkerchiefs and
aprons didn’t have the “Person” of the
Holy Spirit in them; rather, they had
the impartation of His power.
Being born again, you’re the temple of
the Holy Spirit; you contain, and can
transmit or transfer His power. Just as
the impartation of His power came on
the materials that were taken from the
body of Paul, everything that comes
from you, or in contact with you, is
imparted by the power of God. With
such impartation comes an
extraordinary potential.
There’s nothing that comes in contact
with you that doesn’t have the residue
of the Spirit on it, because you carry
God’s divine presence.
If you were sharing the Word with
someone, you could literally impart the
anointing to that person through your
words. Such an impartation leads to
transformation. The Spirit of God in
you imparts His power and authority to
your words, making an impact in the
lives of those whom you minister to;
His love, compassion, and presence
flows from you to them, bringing them
God’s presence.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
presence of the Holy Spirit in my life.
His power is activated in me to impact
my world, and impart your grace to
many today. I walk in the supernatural
always, by your Spirit, and through the
Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

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. ;

that I may impart unto you some
spiritual gift, to the end ye may be
established;

His Words Are Spirit And Life:

Monday September 1st, 2014
-Pastor Chris

…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

The words of the Master above let you
understand the power, characteristics,
and ability of God’s Word. Everything
that proceeds from God, is “God”; that
doesn’t mean His “Person,” but that it
carries His life: His characteristics. It’s
like the human DNA, which can be
traced from something as little as a
follicle of hair from your body. That
tiny strand of hair has your unique
identity in it. In the same way,
everything that comes out of Jesus—
His Word—has His identity, power, and
life in it. His Word that comes to you
carries His “DNA,” as it were.
This is the limitless power of God’s
Word. Not every man’s words are life.
But it’s remarkable to know that Jesus
said His words are spirit and life. No
wonder His Word never returns to Him
void. See how beautiful the Message
translation puts it: “So will the words
that come out of my mouth not come
back empty-handed. They’ll do the
work I sent them to do, they’ll
complete the assignment I gave
them” (Isaiah 55:11).
If His Word to you is the Word of
healing and health, it’ll work in you and
complete its assignment of perfecting
your health. If it’s about your finances,
it’ll do the same. His Word of
righteousness perfects the
righteousness of God in you when you
receive it. When the Apostle Paul
received the words of Jesus, the life of
the Word permeated His entire being,
so much so that when handkerchiefs
and aprons taken from his body were
placed on the sick, miracles took place
(Acts 19:11-12).
You’ve been born again by the same
Word that carries the divine life (1
Peter 1:23); therefore, not only are
you indestructible, everything about
you is also blessed. Everything that
emanates from you carries the life of
God in it. Everything about you has
been touched by divine energy, and
preserved by the life and power of God
that’s at work in you. Be conscious of
this, and live the supernatural life
every day.

CONFESSION:
I thank you Father for the efficacy of
your Word and its ability to produce
life in me, causing all I do to prosper.
I’ve been perfected in righteousness,
through the power and life of your
Word; besides, my life is a testimony of
the wonder-working power of the
Word. Halleluiah!

Further Study: Isaiah 55:10-11 For as
the rain cometh down, and the snow
from heaven, and returneth not
thither, but watereth the earth, and
maketh it bring forth and bud, that it
may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater: 11 So shall my word be
that goeth forth out of my mouth: it
shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it. ;
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with
open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into the
same image from glory to glory, even
as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Persecuting the church, and making
martyrs of Christians has never won
the devil any decided victory before, as
a matter of fact, history records that
persecution and martyrdom always
adds to the church.
The devil has an addiction; an unusual
thirst for blood.
Just like a smoker knows that tobacco
smoking is dangerous to health but
smokes anyways,
so the devils passion for the blood of
saints, children, and the innocent may
give him a temporary high, but in the
long run he is going to pay darely.
Every believer signed for martyrdom
the day we accepted Jesus into our
lives as Lord and Savior; Christianity is
death to self as we reign with Christ; it
is decreasing in the flesh as we
increase in the Spirit.
Note: martyrdom is a great honour a
person cannot confer on themselves; It
is GOD who decides who lives or dies.
I Am the Living One; I was dead, and
now look, I Am alive for ever and ever!
And I hold the keys of death and
Hades.-Revelations 1:18.
If you're a true believer, you dwell in
the secret place of the Lord, and abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. The
Lord is your Keeper. No one can snatch
you away from His Hands.
Touch not my anointed and do my
prophet no harm is the Word of GOD
that prevails over every true believer
in Yeshuah Hamashiach.
Only GOD has the key of death, HE
doesn't kill believers, but if HE doesn't
permit/allow your demise, no demon
or devil can kill you.
Are you a true believer?, If yes, be of
good cheer, Jesus has overcomed the
world.
Make sure that as your hands are on
the plow, you don't ever look back.
All things are working together for
good to those who love GOD and are
the called according to HIS purpose.

GIVE HIM THE “WHOLE HOUSE”
*PASTOR CHRIS*
SUNDAY, AUGUST 31ST, 2014.
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 (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
Did you ever hear the story of the man
who had a large house, but gave God
only one room? When Satan came to
the house, he ravaged everything, and
buffeted the man. Then, in frustration,
the man said to God, “I brought you
into my house, thinking that with you
here, I’d be safe, secure, and protected
against the enemy. Why didn’t you
stop the devil?”
God answered him and said, “You gave
me only this room, so I stayed in here
and Satan couldn’t come in. I can only
take as much as you give me.”
“O, I get it now; take these two
additional rooms,” the man said.
The following night, the devil came
again and pummeled him. He went
again to God in utter frustration, “I've
given you three rooms now, how come
you still let the devil in?” Then the
Lord said, “The devil didn’t come to
the rooms you gave me. ”The man
finally received wisdom and said,
“Okay, Lord, the whole house is yours;
take everything!” Then the devil came
again, but this time, God’s angels were
at the gate, and he couldn’t come in.
For once, the man slept so peacefully.
When he woke up, he said, “Lord, I had
a wonderful sleep. Did you see the
devil at all?” God said, “I stopped him
at the gate, because the house is now
mine.”
You shouldn’t only give the Lord your
spirit, but also let Him have the
dominion over your body and your
soul. If you let Him only into your
spirit, He'd be there, but you'll still
think the wrong thoughts, and do the
wrong things .You may not obey Him
when He tells you, “Go to such and
such a place and witness to so-and-so.”
You’ll not follow His perfect will,
though He lives in your spirit. Your
body may be bruised and afflicted,
because you haven't allowed Him take
over your body. If, on the other hand,
you give Him your whole spirit, soul,
and body, He’ll prove Himself to you
and show Himself strong on your
behalf.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for blessing me
with your Word, I yield my whole life
to you, and declare that your perfect
will is fulfilled in me today; Christ is
exalted in my spirit, soul, and body! My
life is eternally for your glory, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

We’re His Seed, Prolonging His Days
Saturday, August 30th
Pastor Chris
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong
his days, and the pleasure of the LORD
shall prosper in his hand (Isaiah 53:10).
The Holy Spirit, speaking through the
Prophet Isaiah, didn't only foretell of
the coming of the Messiah as an
offering for sin, but also that He shall
see His “seed,” who shall prolong His
days. The seed of Jesus is the Church.
So, through the Church, the Lord Jesus
prolongs His days. Jesus came into this
world, lived in this world, conquered
this world, died, was buried,
resurrected, and ascended to heaven.
But His life continues today through us.
We’re the ones living out His life
today. He’s living through everyone
that’s born again.
Isaiah 53:8 says, “…he was cut off out
of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he
stricken.” But that’s not the end of it.
The world thought they were through
with Him, but then came you and I!
We’re the seed of Jesus Christ. When
you show up, Jesus shows up. We’re
continuing His works and prolonging His
days! When Jesus was raised from the
dead, God had you and me in mind.
We were raised together with Him.
And as He is, so are we today, in this
world (1John 4:17).
Acts 1:1 talks about, “…all that Jesus
began both to do and teach.” This
refers to His teachings about God’s
Kingdom and the accompanying mighty
works of miracles and healings. Reading
further into the book of Acts, you’ll find
that the Lord continued to teach and
do the same things through His
apostles whom He had chosen. They,
in turn, delivered the same message to
some others, until it finally got to us,
and it's still going on and will continue
until Jesus comes.
2 Corinthians 5:20 describes us as
ambassadors of Christ, and we're
indeed, His representatives on earth
today, teaching the same things He
taught and expressing His
righteousness to the world. Halleluiah!
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I’m so thankful
for the love and grace you’ve lavished
upon me. Thank you for expressing
yourself to the world through me.
Christ continually lives through me. I’m
the effulgence of His glory, the express
image of His person and my life is a
manifestation of the praise and glory of
God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: Galatians 2:20 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. ;
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

An Extraordinary Family Of The Mighty:

Friday, August 29th .
-Pastor Chris

For this cause I bow my knees unto the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom
the
whole family in heaven and earth is
named,
That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with
might by his Spirit in the inner man
(Ephesians 3:14-16).
The Apostle Paul points out some deep
truths
in our opening scripture, which I'll like you
to notice. First, he lets us know that God
has
a family that's named after Him. Some
members of this glorious family are in
heaven while some others are in the
earth.
The ones in the earth include all of us that
are born again, while those in heaven are
God's people who have passed onto glory.
Those in heaven are as real in heaven as
we
are in the earth, but it's one and the same
family.
He then prays for members of God's family
on earth (the Church), to be strengthened
with might by God's Spirit in their inner
man.
He wants them invigorated with miracle-
working ability. This is God's will for His
children, and it's simply marvelous. No one
amongst us is an ordinary person; each
one
of us can, and should do supernatural
things;
ours is an extraordinary family of the
mighty.
Never say, "I am weak inside," "I can't face
opposition," or "I'm afraid…"; the greater
One lives in you. He's your strength; He
infuses your spirit with supernatural
courage,
boldness and dominion. 1 John 4:4 says,
"Ye
are of God, little children, and have
overcome them: because greater is he that
is
in you, than he that is in the world." The
Spirit of God in you is all the power and
strength you need against the pressures
and
adversities of life. Be conscious of His
indwelling presence.
When you're confronted with intimidating
situations, confess strength and not
weakness
or fear. Declare that you're strengthened
with all might, according to His glorious
power that's at work in you.
CONFESSION
I'm not ordinary; I'm a vital member of
the
family of God— a member of Christ's body,
of His flesh, and of His bones. Therefore,
I'm
invigorated with divine might and ability in
my spirit for the supernatural. I'm
empowered to do the impossible, for
greater
is He that's in me, than he that's in the
world.
Further Study:
Ephesians 5:29-30 (GNB)
(None of us ever hate our own bodies.
Instead, we feed them, and take care of
them, just as Christ does the church; 30
for
we are members of his body.);
Colossians 1:9-11 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; 10
That
ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11
Strengthened with all might, according to
his
glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;

At this troubling times of war against
the Christian faith, the big question
is; what are we to do???
Answer:
It is good that we pray (THY
Kingdom come, THY Will be done),
and teach our children to pray as
well, but we must also REPENT from
our wicked ways, and teach our
children The TRUE way.
GOD said,
"If MY People, who are called by MY
NAME, will humble themselves and
pray and seek MY Face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and I will forgive
their sin and will heal their land.-2
chro.7:14.
When we pray, IT MUST BE TO SEEK
HIS FACE, and to turn from our
wicked ways !
Paul said to Timothy,
"Join with me in suffering, like a
good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No
one serving as a soldier gets
entangled in civilian affairs, but
rather tries to please his
commanding officer.
5 Similarly, anyone who competes as
an athlete does not receive the
victor’s crown except by competing
according to the rules.
6 The hardworking farmer should be
the first to receive a share of the
crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying,
for the Lord will give you insight into
all this...
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with Him, we will also live
with Him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign
with Him.
If we disown Him, He will also
disown us;
13 if we are faithless, He remains
faithful, for He cannot disown
Himself...
Do your best to present yourself to
GOD as one approved, a worker who
does not need to be ashamed and
who correctly handles the word of
truth...
The Lord knows those who are HIS,
and, Everyone who confesses the
Name of the Lord must turn away
from wickedness.”

KNOW THE WORD FOR YOURSELF:
THURSDAY_28TH_AUGUST_2014
-Pastor Chris

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved
(tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing
[rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15, AMP).

For you to live a joyful life, and be the
full expression of the will,
righteousness, and glory of God, you
have to know the Word for yourself
and live by it. Those who don’t know
the Word of God can hardly fulfil God’s
desire and plans for their lives. The
Word of God made you (1 Peter 1:23),
and except you live by the Word, you’ll
not be the "you" that God dreamed of,
nor fulfil His destiny for you. This is
why we teach the Word and encourage
God’s children to be students of the
Word. You must know the Word for
yourself.
Don’t live on the basis of assumptions.
Don’t let people influence you with
their "religious" opinion of God. Don’t
accept that something is from God just
because it sounds good, nice or
religious.
Jesus said in John 5:39, "Search the
scriptures…"; Paul said in 2 Timothy
2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth." The Word of God is the
mind of God expressed; His will
written and expressed for us. What an
extraordinary advantage, that you can
study the Word for yourself,
understand it, and live accordingly! It’s
a great blessing!
The measure of your glorious and
victorious life will be to the degree of
your knowledge of God’s Word, and
how much of it you put to work. It’s
not about how long you’ve been a
Christian; it’s about how well you know
and apply the Word. Thank God we
have the unparalleled advantage of the
indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit,
who grants us understanding of the
Word! He’s the Author of the
Scriptures; so as you study, you can
depend on Him to guide you, and grant
you insight into divine mysteries and
secrets.
Give the Word your attention and
time. Study and put your heart in it. If
you want to live a life that’s beyond
the ordinary, it’s by the Word, through
the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for showing
me the importance of personal study of
your Word, a vital ingredient in my
Christian walk. As I study and meditate
on the Word today, I’m positioned to
fulfil your desire and plan for my life,
and my profiting is evident, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Safeguarded By The Anointing:

Wednesday, August 27th .
-Pastor Chris

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had
been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that
they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things (1 John 2:18-20).

We're in the last days, therefore the activities of the antichrists referenced in our opening verses are already
happening. Many have come in their own names, with false doctrines. A false doctrine isn’t essentially the opposite of the true Gospel, but a
perversion of it. Its objective is to deceive and lure men into believing a lie, instead of the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus.
As a child of God, however, you need not worry about the cunning craftiness of antichrists, false preachers and teachers, because you're anointed of God, and therefore can't be deceived.
The Word says, you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things. The anointing of the Holy Spirit
that’s on your life safeguards you and helps you discern the right teaching of the Gospel from false doctrines.
1 John 2:27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” The Holy Spirit is the Lord of the Church, and when you hear the Word of God under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit in you will bear witness with your spirit, that what you’re
hearing is the truth.
The implication of this is that you won’t find yourself deceived, tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine; rather,
you'd be established on the truth of God’s Word. If the anointing can help you know the truth of God’s Word, it’ll
certainly also guide you in the natural things of life, because the lesser is included in the greater.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the anointing of the Holy Spirit that’s at work in me, guiding me in the path of
truth. I’m established in righteousness, steadfast and unmovable in the Lord, filled with the knowledge of God, in all wisdom and discernment. I know all things by the Holy Spirit that’s at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made
and baptized more disciples than John, ;
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.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works (John 14:10).

In Matthew 1:18, the Lord Jesus; while still in the womb of the Virgin Mary, was called the child of the Holy Spirit.
Then in our opening verse, we read that the Lord Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Father that dwells in Him, identifying Him (the Holy Spirit) as the One who does the miracles.
Furthermore, in John 8:38, He said, “I speak that which I have seen with my Father….”
It’s thus clear that Jesus walked in union with the Father in an extraordinary way. He did nothing independent of the Holy Spirit. He said in John 5:19, “…Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” He was always conscious of His inseparable
oneness with the Father. No wonder He was so inspiring, and was such an outstanding success in everything He did.
If you have received the Holy Spirit into you, your body is His temple (1 Corinthians 16:19). It’s therefore
important that you walk in union with the Father that lives in you. Become
conscious that you’re not alone. All the while you were trying to “reachout” to the Father, thinking your prayers
weren’t “going above the ceiling,” He was in you. You never needed to cry or yell for Him to hear you. Every where
you go, you go with the Father who lives permanently in you.
Relate with the Holy Spirit as your Father for real, and not as a mere influence. Understand that He knows
you more than you know yourself. He can effectively handle you; you’re not a mystery or a surprise to Him at all.
There’s nothing about you that’s strange to Him. He’s more passionate about your success than you could ever
be. Simply accept what He sees you to be, and say “yes” to Him; that's when you're ready to walk in union with
Him.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your presence in my life. What a blessing to be one with you, and experience such
glorious fellowship and transformation from glory to glory. I yield myself to you and declare that my life is for your glory, today, and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Honour Spiritual Authority:

Monday, August 25th .
-Pastor Chris

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when
contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves (Jude 1:8-10)

There’s a remarkable lesson for us to learn from the attitude of Michael the archangel, when he disputed
with Satan over the body of Moses.
Michael, with all his power and
glory, couldn’t dare bring an
accusation against Satan, an evil personality. This was because he recognized that Satan had Adamic authority, which is higher than angelic authority. Adam lost his
authority to Satan when he ate of the fruit God had instructed him not to.
As a result, Michael could only
rebuke Satan in the Name of the Lord, a higher authority. This is very instructive on how we’re to relate to spiritual authority as God’s children.
You should never criticize, dishonor or speak against those whom the Lord has placed in positions of
authority. That’s the way I’ve lived; I don't say things against God’s people, especially ministers of the
Gospel, because they carry the
authority of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:12 says, “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and
admonish you.” Some people in the church have authority over you in the Lord, and they must be honoured as such.
Sadly, there’re some in the Church who believe they’re smarter than their pastors, and are always wanting to “advise” or instruct them on how to run the affairs of the
church. This is wrong. You must remain submitted to spiritual authority in order to walk in the power of the Spirit, and fulfill the call of God on your life.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word of wisdom that gives me life, guiding my thoughts, words, and actions. Your wisdom is at work in me today, and I’m yielded to the
Holy Spirit, who perfects all that concern me, teaching me how to walk in wisdom and recognize spiritual authority, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
Numbers 26:9-10 And
the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and
Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against
Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the Lord:
10 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and
they became a sign. ;

THE MATERIALIST’S MISTAKE

Memorise:
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15

Read: Psalm 49:6-10

 

6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Message

The materialist is somebody with great regard for material possessions, a person who considers material possessions and physical comfort more important than spiritual values. To a materialist, the end justifies whatever means is employed in acquiring wealth or possessions. Materialists would cheat, steal, hurt fellow human beings and even kick against God’s commandments in order to amass wealth and get great possessions.

One irrational and foolish confidence that is often displayed concerning earthly wealth and possessions is exposed in Psalm 49:9. This scripture reveals that those who trust in their wealth and boast in the multitude of their riches always hope to live forever and expect to be secure from sickness, sorrow, pain, oppression, accidents and disaster. The Bible teaches that this wrong attitude to wealth and prosperity robs a person of his or her dignity and degrades such persons to the level of beasts. The Bible also teaches that there are limits to the purchasing power of wealth, especially when it comes to the deeper demands of the soul, where financial wealth has no relevance.

Another irrational and foolish miscalculation of human philosophy is that a person’s worth is summed up in his or her earthly wealth and possessions. Based on this wrong assumption, materialists seek to acquire wealth and possessions at all costs and by all means. Meanwhile, the Bible in Luke 12:15 tells us that the worth of a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. The idea that wealth has value for a person beyond the grave is a mistake. This is why the Lord asked these questions in Mark 8:36-37:
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
We must give truthful answers to these questions in order to avoid committing the mistakes of the materialist. If you acquire a world full of wealth and possessions and lose your soul, what will you offer in exchange for your soul? Be wise! The truth is already revealed in the word of God; poverty is bad, wealth is good, but you must not pursue wealth and possessions in a way that will make you lose your soul.

Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to set my priorities in line with the word of God. Let my precious soul make it to heaven.

CREATE YOUR THOUGHTS
*PASTOR CHRIS*
SATURDAY, AUGUST 23RD, 2014.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for
out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs
4:23).
Some define thoughts as imaginations,
but thoughts are more than
imaginations. Imaginations are pictures
or images of the mind that interpret
your thoughts. Thoughts are powerful;
they can deliver to you a glorious life,
or keep you on the sideline of life. The
Bible says as a man thinks in his heart,
so is he (Proverbs 23:7). You’re the
character of your thoughts.
If you’d let the Word dominate your
thinking, it’ll give you the right mindset
of victory, success, and dominion, with
visions of limitless possibilities.
Romans 12:2 says, “And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your
mind….” When your thoughts are
consistent with the provisions of God’s
Word, your life will be a reflection of
His glory, for the glory is in the Word.
Consider Joshua; the Lord said to him,
“…See, I have given into thine hand
Jericho, and the king thereof, and the
mighty men of valour” (Joshua 6:1-2).
How was he supposed to see the
victory ahead of the battle? It was with
the power of His mind, his thoughts
and imaginations. If Joshua hadn’t seen
the victory in his mind, Israel would
never have possessed Jericho.
What does that tell you? It means, the
extent of your vision is the boundary of
your blessing. How far you can see
with your mind, through the power of
thoughts, is how much you will
possess.
What do you see? What are your
thoughts? Discipline your mind; choose
the thoughts you accept. This marks a
difference between the one who is
disciplined, and turns out to be a
success, and the one who isn’t: their
thinking. Direct your mind to think the
right thoughts. You’re the one to
choose the way your thoughts must go;
you're the one to create your
thoughts: “…whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report…think on these
things” (Philippians 4:8).
CONFESSION:
My mind is anointed to think the “God-
kind” of thoughts. As I meditate on
your Word, I build a wealth of thoughts
that keep me in the arena of glory,
health, and prosperity, causing me to
live the best life here on earth, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
1 Corinthians 2:16 (CEV) The Scriptures
ask,“Has anyone ever known the
thoughts of the Lord or given him
advice?”But we understand what Christ
is thinking.
Philippians 4:8(CEV) Finally, my friends,
keep your minds on whatever is true,
pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper.
Don't ever stop thinking about what is
truly worthwhile and worthy of praise.

The Fullness Of The Blessings
Of The Gospel...
Friday August 22nd, 2014

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I
will come by you into Spain. And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ
(Romans 15:28-29).

Years ago, as I studied the words of the Apostle Paul in our opening scripture, I was elated that it's possible for one to have the fullness of the
blessing of the Gospel of Christ. This wasn't only for Paul and the rest of the
Apostles, but for all of us Christians:
it's possible to walk in the fullness of
the blessings of the Gospel. What does
this mean? It means to walk in the
fullness of your inheritance in Christ.
No wonder the Apostle Paul made bold
to say, "I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth
me" (Philippians 4:13). In Galatians
2:20-21, he said, "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. I do not
frustrate the grace of
God..." (Galatians 2:20-21).
Walking in the fullness of the blessings
of Christ is possible in this earth. As
you walk in oneness with the Holy
Spirit, you'll discover that life is easy
and stress less, and free from every
form of frustration. Nothing in this
earth can frustrate me, because I walk
in the light of the fullness of the
blessings of the Gospel of Christ. I
can't be overcome; I'm an overcomer,
because Christ is in me. This should be
your meditation as well.
Live in the fullness of your inheritance
in Christ. Christ has died; He's risen
from the dead; He's won the battle for
you already; there's no need to
struggle for anything anymore. 1 Peter
1:11 talks about the sufferings of
Christ and the glory that should follow.
Live in the victory and glory of Christ.
You're a victor for life. Blessed be God!
PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for
the revelation of your Word to me
today. I walk in the fullness of the
blessings of the Gospel of Christ, and in
the glory of my inheritance in Him. I'm
an overcomer, because the greater
One lives in me. Amen.

THE ABILITY IS IN THE INSTRUCTION:

*PASTOR CHRIS*
THURSDAY,AUGUST 21TH,2014.

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold (Proverbs 8:10).

Spiritual instructions may come to you in the most unexpected or unusual way, but be prompt to obey. Never try to rationalize spiritual instructions with your mind; the wisdom of God is foolishness to men.
Consider the Lord’s instructions to Joshua for instance. After the death of Moses, God instructed Joshua to take over and subdue Jericho: “And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat…” (Joshua 6:2-5).
From the natural standpoint, God’s instruction was an impossible feat for Joshua and the children of Israel. The thickness of the walls of Jericho was such that houses were built on them. But Joshua followed the Lord’s instructions and the result was victory for the children of Israel.
Our opening verse says to receive instruction and not silver. The Word of God is God’s instruction manual for an extraordinary life of glory, dominion, and victory; so don’t neglect the Word. The Bible says, “Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life” (Proverbs 4:13). Don't complain when you receive spiritual instructions, because with such instructions, come the ability to accomplish whatever God tells you to do.
Be conscious of this when responsibilities are given you, especially in the house of God. Once you’ve received the instruction to do something, recognize that you've received the ability for that task. Stir up the wisdom of God in you through speaking in tongues, and you’ll see pictures of possibilities and visions of success; the Holy Spirit will show you what to do, and how to accomplish the task.

PRAYER:
Thank you dear Father for your divine power at work in me to accomplish every task that you’ve planned for me. I recognize the working of your Spirit in me, and thus declare that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. He’s my ability; therefore, I make progress by the power of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
1 Samuel 15:22-23(CEV) “Tell me,” Samuel said. “Does the [Lord] really want sacrifices and offerings? No! He doesn't want your sacrifices. He wants you to obey him.23 Rebelling against God or disobeying him because you are proud is just as bad as worshiping idols or asking them for advice. You refused to do what God told you, so God has decided that you can no longer be king.”
2 Tim.3:16-1(CEV) Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. 17 The Scriptures train God's servants to do all kinds of good deeds.

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014
-Pastor Chris

O foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only
would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish?
Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? (Galatians 3:1-3).

As you study the entire book of Galatians, you’d understand why Paul made the statement above, chiding the Galatian Christians: they had strayed from the message of the Gospel, the Word of faith, which they had received.
Some false teachers came, teaching them that they had to obey the Law to be justified; as a result, their faith began to waver. Decrying their
deviation from the message of faith, Paul asked them, “…having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by
the flesh?”
He wanted them to remember how they received the Holy Spirit; it wasn’t through obedience to the Law, but by
faith. The salvation they had received didn’t happen by keeping the Law:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Your righteousness and right-standing with God aren’t the results of your good works; they’re by the faith of Christ, the result of what He did.
Galatians 2:16 says, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” The righteousness, which is by faith, doesn’t rely on the works of the Law, but on faith in the God that justifies the ungodly (Romans 4:5).
By faith, you received eternal life, and the Holy Spirit to live in you. By faith, the righteousness of God was imparted to your spirit. Therefore, continue in faith,grounded and settled, and refuse to be moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which you've heard
(Colossians 1:23).

CONFESSION:
I thank you Lord for the righteousness I’ve received; the righteousness which is by the faith of Jesus Christ, to stand in your presence confidently without fear, inferiority, guilt or condemnation.
I have no confidence in the flesh because you are my justifier. Halleluiah!

Further Study:
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ;
Philippians 3:3 For we are the
circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Your Relevance In The Gospel:

Tuesday, August 19th 2014 .
-Pastor Anita

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his
righteousness remaineth forever (2 Corinthians 9:8-9).

Your relevance to the spread of the Gospel of Christ is one of the major reasons God channels prosperity your
way.
The Bible says there’s more joy in heaven over a sinner that repents than over ninety-nine saints that need no
repentance (Luke 15:7).
This is about the only time we’re informed in Scripture of something that causes rejoicing amongst the angels in heaven: soul-winning. This lets you know how important soul-winning is.Winning souls into God’s Kingdom must be the compelling motive in
everything you do.
As an entrepreneur, a politician, a teacher, a banker, a business executive, a student, etc., as long as your personal drive and motivation is the expansion of God’s Kingdom, you'll live a meaningful and fulfilled life.
Your involvement in soul-winning attracts more grace and prosperity to your life. It causes the wisdom of God
to function in you in an unusual way.
Furthermore, the Lord sees to your protection when you’re relevant in taking the Gospel to the nations of the earth.
Our opening verse says God is able to make all grace abound towardsyou, such that having all sufficiency in all things, you’ll abound to every good
work. When you’re involved in the spread of the Gospel, the grace of God is increased in your life to achieve more.
James 4:6 says, “He giveth
moregrace…” So don’t relent at any opportunity to promote the Gospel.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, through my involvement in the Kingdom, the saving power of Christ permeates the earth. I’m a
distributor of divine verities, relevant toKingdom expansion. Therefore, your
grace continually abounds towards me to be more relevant in the propagation of the Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

“Stir Up Yourself, To Take A Hold Of God…”

Monday, August 18th, 2014
-Pastor Chris

And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face
from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities (Isaiah 64:7).

The Prophet Isaiah was speaking to God in the verse above. Israel was in dire straits because none sought the Lord; no one stirred himself up to “take a hold” of God. That means, as
Christians, we can stir ourselves up to take a hold of God, to take a hold of His words, and make them real in our lives, through prevailing prayers.
It brings to mind, Jacob’s encounter with the Angel of God's presence.
After His sojourn with his Uncle Laban, Jacob knew he needed a miracle to escape his brother, Esau’s wrath,
having deceived their father, Isaac, to obtain the inheritance in place of Esau.
Jacob divided his family and everything he had into two groups and sent them ahead of him to entreat Esau such that, if Esau smote a particular group, the other group, perhaps, could escape & be spared (Genesis 32:4-8).
Subsequently, Jacob was left alone, and the Bible says he wrestled with an angel all night long. Jacob wouldn’t let
go of the angel until he received a blessing from Him (Genesis 32:24-26).
In the book of Hosea, the prophet explains that the angel that wrestled with Jacob was actually the Lord: “…
and by his strength he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; Even the LORD God of hosts; the
LORD is his memorial” (Hosea 12:3-5).
Jacob stirred himself up to take a hold of God through prayer, to take a hold of God’s blessings. This is something
we must learn to do as Christians, to stir ourselves up and take a hold of God’s Word for us & for others through prayer. We must remain
importunate as we intercede for lost souls, and for those who have strayed from the faith. We must prevail in
prayer for them until Christ is formed in them.

PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege of prayer; a place of heartfelt communion, to stir up myself
and take a hold of your Word for my life. Thank you for giving me the ability to effect changes through prevailing
prayers, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
Ephesians 5:18-21 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is

things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. ;

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:6).

God said through the prophet Hosea that His people are destroyed, defeated and broken because they lack
knowledge. Meaning that, their bane isn’t that they lack faith or are not making the right effort; the reason they aren’t walking in victory and
dominion is their ignorance. This, therefore, means that as God’s children, we must keep making conscious efforts to learn and be taught God’s Word. If you have more accurate knowledge of the Word, you’ll live in victory and dominion everyday of your
life, irrespective of any adversity.
Some people think that living in constant victory and dominion isn't possible, and they're wrong. To hold such a belief is to ignore what Jesus
came to do. He came to give us the life and nature of God: the transcendent life. In John 10:10 (NIV), He said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that
they may have life, and have it to the full.” He didn’t come to establish another religion, because the world already had enough of them before He
came, and Christianity is not a religion.
The Amplified translation says, He came that we might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance—to the full, till it overflows.
Perhaps you never thought it’s God’s idea for you to enjoy your life; now you know! But how can you enjoy life when
things are not right with you? How can you enjoy life if you're ignorant of all that He’s provided for you in Christ?
This is why you must have a personal relationship with God and His Word, so you can know how to live in absolute
victory everyday. The Word of God is able to build you up, and cause you to live the kind of life God desires for you: a life above struggles and pains; a life of glory, righteousness, and dominion in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for giving me a life of glory, success and victory. Daily, I search the Scriptures
and appropriate into my life what it says concerning me in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 5:39 Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ;
1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

POWER THROUGH WORDS:

*PASTOR CHRIS*,
SATURDAY, August 16TH, 2014.

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 (Romans 10:9-10).

It’s not enough to know the Word of God in your heart; you have to speak it forth as well—that's how it works! God
instructed Joshua, “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” (Joshua 1:8). The original Hebrew rendering of the word
“meditate” is “hagah,” which means to ponder, roar, imagine, murmur, mutter,
speak, talk, or utter. It’s much more than thinking the Word; you have to voice it!
The opening verse shows us that speaking out what you believe is a fundamental spiritual principle without
which the gift of salvation can’t be received. The salvation package is
delivered upon satisfying two
conditions: the first is “believing,”
while the second is the “confession” of that which you’ve believed. Both work
together for salvation to be complete.
In the same way, to live the glorious life in Christ, where you enjoy all the benefits of salvation, you must keep
the Word in your mouth always. You must believe and speak. Some people find themselves in unpleasant
situations and say, “I believe the Word of God, but I don't know why things aren’t working out right for me.”
Believing the Word alone will not change anything, until you start using your mouth right, by speaking what you believe.
Your mouth was given to you to create your future and your victorious life.
Your life goes in the direction of your confession. You have to say what you want in life. Even now, speak the Word
about your family, job, business, academics, health, etc. Release the dynamic power to effect the changes
you desire by speaking forth faith-filled words.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word—the infallible instruction manual-for the successful and
victorious life in Christ! I live in health, victory, and peace; and I'm making progress with giant strides, as I live in your Word, conscious of its power and ability to transform my life and cause me to excel from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Proverbs 10:11 (CEV) The words of good people are a source of life,but evil hides behind the words of the wicked.
Proverbs 15:23 (CEV) Giving the right answer at the right time makes everyone happy.
