NOW IS THE TIME

IT TAKES TIME TO POLISH AND BRING OUT THE JEWEL IN YOU. BUT NOW IS THE TIME.

The Bible in Eccl 11:4 says

‘If you look at circumstances you will never get anything done.”

In the field of arts you have what is referred to as DDP or Daily Discipline of Practice. If you want to become exceptional in any field of the arts, you are advised to invest at least an hour a day to practice & in seven days, you would have practiced for seven hours.

Although an hour a day is little but through time, your practice will begin to add up & reflect in your life & work. You will gain the mastery & you will eventually stand-out in your calling.

You will become a master at what you do. Your value will ultimately be rewarded.

My life in the field of TRAVEL & TOURISM is an example of this practice. When I look back at how it all started out some years down the line, for me, what I see now, where I am now & all I know now is a product of God’s grace.

Then I went professional with my gifting by reason of consistency & best practices at what I know how to do best.

So also, if you spend time daily meditating on the finished works of Christ, you are building your faith & crediting your #GRACEBANK which over time when challenges come knocking- the moment you look deep into your spirit, those Words deposited over time will suddenly arise, you can then withdraw a Word of victory to strike that storm in the face of apparent defeat.

Make it a practice to always feed on the Word as this will lift you while everything else straighten out.

It takes time to polish and bring out the jewel in you. But NOW IS THE TIME.

SEE THE LAMB SLAIN

When man is harmonious and happy he is healthy! All sickness comes from violation of Spiritual Law.

Jesus Christ said: “Be though healed, your sins are forgiven.”

Resentment, ill-will, hate, fear, etc., etc., tear down the cells of the body and poison the blood.

Accidents, old age and death itself, come from holding wrong mental pictures.

When man sees himself as God sees him, he will become a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless, for “God made man in His likeness and His image.”

I challenge you to constantly put your eyes on the finished works of Christ, everything will straighten out regardless.

THE RITUALS OF FAITH

Psalm 46:1-6:

1.God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

The word of God works and it’s changing people’s lives all over the world.

Nothing shuts a believer down like his thinking. God is our ever ‘Present’ help. Not a future help. When you ask God for help He gives u instantly according to Mark 11:24… I can hear you say: God I want a baby boy! Yes! That baby boy is right inside the Word of God. In the book of Mark the Bible says  “What so ever”.  What so ever means What so ever!

He said when you pray, BELIEVE and you will RECEIVE. God will never ask you to believe something that is not true.

Daniel 10:11… I want you to know that DELAY IS A PRODUCT OF MANKIND & not of God. I believe that the day I ask anything of Jesus, that is the day it was DISPATCHED. Glory be to God Forever More.  Thank you Jesus!

There is no more cause for distance like in the days of Daniel according to the Bible, because we are New Testament believers.  Let nothing on earth talk you out of what Christ has done for you, or tell you that God Is not a God of now. Faith never ever fails. In the name of Jesus I restore the full use of your faith right now as you are reading this message. Amen.

If it is Bible faith- (the faith that says “I believe and I receive”) and goes forth to do the Bible rituals….then that faith will never ever fail. The RITUALS of FAITH is to call those things that be not as though they are. Having received the spirit of faith, you should begin to speak and declare those things that be not as though they were!  The Bible says the Righteousness of Faith, speaks.

When you are convinced that you are now in faith you will almost go mad. You will begin to dance the dance of faith,  begin to sing the songs of faith, and you will experience the manifestation. Try God! Don’t let any devil talk you out of the fact that you have now received.  Go ahead and give him praise. AMEN.

Just like gravity never ever fails …faith never ever fails. I don’t care what has happened to any body concerning not receiving what they had prayed for, I don’t care what another persons story is; the God i serve can not fail, it is by His words. I will never ever judge God by the experience of another man or what happens to anybody else somewhere.

Faith is not having some particular feelings; it is depending on a fact. Now here is the fact: Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ died for us. He bore our sins in His own body. God punished Him in our place to pay the debt that we owe. Wether we ever do anything about it or not, it is a fact. What we must do is believe that fact and depend on, rely on, trust in Him.

I declare and decree that -your wedding is going to take place as planned. You want a job? It’s today. believe and receive it now. God is not a God of tomorrow . That’s why you can’t hold gravity down, if you try to, nothing will work outside of gravity.  It is according to your faith. Only Believe.

This is what we do, we don’t go to club,  we don’t smoke, but we play around with His power. As believers we practice the RITUALS of FAITH. Ask anything in Faith and you will receive. Glory be to God!

My friend, I want to encourage you to begin to start practicing the RITUALS of Faith as from today.

When you have Jesus in your life, you are no longer trying to live the life of faith, you simply live by FAITH.

CALLED FROM YOUR MOTHER’S WOMB

Galatians 1:15

…God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,

 

Beloved, you are not an accident with no destiny. God has called you from your mother’s womb. You have a special calling and a destiny in Christ, and it is all by His grace!

 

There are Christians who are called by God to be doctors. But I believe that among them are those separated from their mothers’ wombs for the healing ministry. They are passionate about seeking cures to alleviate the sufferings of humanity.

 

Likewise, I think that there are Christians who are called by God to be teachers in secular schools. But among them are those separated from their mothers’ wombs to be Bible teachers. What gives them tremendous fulfillment is seeing lives saved and transformed under their teaching.

 

What about those famous magicians you see performing tricks on television? They have a love for the mystical and supernatural. If they were to become Christians, they might just become prophets with ministries marked by the miraculous!

 

The apostle Paul knew that he was called from his mother’s womb. He had a misguided passion for God though, as he was persecuting the church, until he had his encounter with Jesus. (Acts 8:3,9:1–6)

 

If Paul, a terrorist to the early church, could be touched by Christ to become an apostle of grace, what about today’s terrorists who blow up people in the name of their god? For all you know, if they receive Christ, they might just become trailblazers in the kingdom of God!

 

Now, don’t think that your calling has to do with your qualifications, abilities, achievements or even your walk with God. You were called from your mother’s womb by His grace. As a fetus in your mother’s womb, there was not much you could do—good or bad. That is why your calling is all by His grace. And since He has given you a calling, ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern the desires that He has placed in your heart, the passions that drive you in life, and fulfil your calling and destiny in Christ!

 

He Will Not Remember Your Sins

Isaiah 43:25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins. (AMIV)

#MightySupply I remember one time watching a special on TV about nuclear reactors, and the danger of radioactive material. And I was amazed to learn that the only thing that was keeping the radiation from escaping the chamber was the weight of tons and tons of water. Just hearing it seemed too simple a solution for so serious a problem. I mean, I could hold up a cup of water with no effort at all, but if you added that amount many times over, it was strong enough to hold down anything. Even in the deep dark reaches of the ocean, where there are countless wrecks of ocean liners, and submarines, what keeps them from surfacing is the sheer weight of the water above it. And unless it is raised by some other means, it will never be raised. Well do you know that sin and the guilt it brings is like that radiation? The Lord will blot out your transgressions making it not exist, but so often the guilt that it brings is more damaging than the sin itself. You know you are forgiven by the blood, and stand clean, but in your mind, you do not feel free. God said something awesome in that verse. That he would not only blot out your sin, so that it is no more, but that He would not remember them! This is the GRACE of God. The Lamb of God did not just take away your sins, He also gave you His righteousness. This means that when the Lord forgives you, he intends for you to be free, and not try to hold up what He wants to sink on the basis of His finished works at Calvary. By the power of His Spirit and His word, He will drown your guilt and condemnation, if you are willing to give it to Him by constantly putting your eyes on the cross (meditating on the Word of God). He wants to cover it so much, with His grace and love, that it will be like a ship sinking to the deepest depths of the ocean, where nothing can reach it and bring it back to the surface. All He needs is for you to let go & let Him work through you. Would you hold on to a piece of radioactive material? Of course not! In the same way, the Lord wants to be the Strong One, the One who will cover it, and do away with it, so that you can walk free. If you still struggle with guilt after you know you have been forgiven, just speak the Word over you, and confess His promises. Say this after me, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and therefore there is no sin or guilt in me!” Glory to God. Keep saying it! Don’t stop saying it! Because you are what He says you are, and He will do what He says He will do. And He will not remember your sins, but will drown it in the sea of His Grace. Beloved, you are covered by Jesus’ Blood. You are righteous by His Blood. God has clothed you with the robe of righteousness, which was paid for by Jesus’ blood. And He will not remember your sins anymore. My friend, when you believe that you are righteous because of Jesus’ blood and that He will not remember your sins, you will see the effects of the gift of righteousness. You will see miracles happening before your very eyes. You become a blessing magnet, a favor or grace magnet. It is not your own righteousness, but the righteousness of Jesus which you have put on, that is attracting all these blessings of God into your life. Amen!

YOU HAVE TO BE CARELESS TO BE IN FAITH

1Peter 5:7.

Let us SLAY all religious cows now…lols.  The truth is you being careful will not help Ur faith. Literally, U have to be careless to be in FAITH! Believe the Goodnews. It is settled!

You see, worrying, complaining, nagging or quarreling will not take u anywhere near the PROMISE LAND. It will not heal you, it will not land you the much expected business contract, neither will sowing physical gifts into a woman’s life make her your wife…lol!

EVE was created from ADAM, when He(ADAM) slept. God knocked Adam off, so that He(God) can get the job done for Adam.  God is at work in your life right now. Just SLEEP!

Whatever things concern a follower of God, whether they be spiritual or physical, or whether in themselves great or small, God concerns himself with them; what affects you affects Him; “…in all their afflictions he is afflicted.” (Isaiah  63:9)

He who knows that God cares for him, need have no anxious cares about himself. This is a plain reference to Psalm 55:22  Pile your troubles on GOD’s shoulders– he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin.(MSG)

My brother, my sister, u too can “SLEEP”.  Just like Adam did in the garden of Eden for EVE to be created. When you sleep,  that long awaited marriage will take place,  you will conceive a miracle child, wealth will change hands, notable overflows will take place instantly, that prodigal husband or son will come back home to you with good tidings, every diseases will be healed permanently;

 in short- miracles will happen and you will open your mouth wide to declare that: “I have seen JESUS (The goodness of God)”.

Here is the key:  Fix your eyes on the CROSS. Sow the word of God into your heart daily. Constantly meditate on the Finished Work of Christ. Focus on the WORD not the GIANT  before you.

SLEEEEEP! Faith will RISE. Rest in the finished work of Christ. The WORD works. YOU HAVE TO BE CARELESS TO BE  IN FAITH.  Phil 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

This is the power of CHRIST in ME.

RECEIVE AS YOU HEAR THE GOOD NEWS

Romans 1:16 16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…

If you have been to motivational seminars, you would probably have heard the speakers say, “If you follow these five steps, then you will come to a place of financial increase.” They would probably have told you also that if you don’t succeed, it is because you did not follow the steps correctly or diligently. Thank God that the gospel or good news does not work like that! The minute you hear or read the good news, and you believe and receive it, His Word goes forth to sozo (the Greek word for “save”) you, making you well, prosperous and whole, “for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes”. What is the good news? It is that God loves us so much that He gave us His Son to take our beating so that we can have His blessings without having to work for them. Right now, as you are reading this devotional, listening to a preacher or watching a sermon DVD, as you hear God’s Word, His power is released into your situation, working things out for you and turning your situation around for your good. In Acts 14:8–10, we see Paul preaching the good news in Lystra. A man who was crippled from birth was listening to Paul. Paul, seeing that he had faith to be healed, said, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man leaped and walked! He heard the good news, believed it and was healed. At a leadership conference in Oslo, Norway, where I was speaking, a pastor there shared how a well-respected businessman in his church was healed while listening to one of my sermon CDs. This man was deaf in one ear. And when he was listening to my teaching on the CD, his deaf ear popped open without anyone laying hands on him or praying for him! He was just listening to the good news when his ear opened. Now, that is what I call the power of God unto his salvation, sozo-ing him, making his hearing whole! My friend, these miracles happen not because we follow some kind of formula faithfully, but because we hear the good news preached and simply believe it!

LIVING AND RESTING IN HIS GRACE

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Proverbs 3:5–6, AMP

Depending on the Lord’s grace and resting in His finished work does not mean doing nothing. Just look at Apostle Paul, who lived by God’s grace. He saw first-hand how a revelation of God’s grace turned him into the effective and hardworking apostle that he was (1 Corinthians 15:10).

How do we rest in the Lord and still find ourselves effectively doing what we need to do? It’s simple—just do what you ought to do, but do it trusting in the Lord’s favor, not in your smarts or careful planning. Whatever you need to do today, do it with an inward rest, without worrying or fretting, knowing that He loves you, is in charge and is for you.

For example, let’s say that you’ve got a job interview coming up. First, commit the matter to the Lord. Ask Him for wisdom and favor. Then, prepare for the interview—read up on the company. On the day of the interview, dress appropriately and go for it, all the while having an inward rest as you trust the Lord for His wisdom and favor. As you do what’s needed, He will guide you and empower you to do what’s really needful and right. He’ll also give you favor with your interviewers.

Beloved, rest in His grace today and let the Lord lead you to good success!

Thank God for GRACE!!
