The Purpose and Person of Christ

What is your personal revelation of Christ? That is what determines the level of your freedom. His anointing destroys every yoke, setbacks or hindrances in your life.

Please read: Romans 3: 23 Romans 6 :23 ;1 John 5:12; Matthew 16:19; Mark 5: 6; Luke 15:20;Isaiah 10:27

Dear Friend, Considering how much the devil hates us and how dead set he is on destroying us, it's no wonder there is so much tragedy and disaster. This has been the pattern of humanity since Adam yielded his power and authority to the devil through his choice of disobedience toward God. As a result of this fact, we all became slaves to the devil and he used us at his will. Once sin and the devil entered, we lost our fellowship with God and became separated from Him. It is therefore impossible for us to be free from the devil’s harassments without a savior. Thus the total depravity of man helps us to appreciate and understand the work of Christ in our redemption story.

The Bible says that a day will come when the burden the devil has placed on our shoulders shall be taken away. And the yoke that has held us bound to him will also be removed from our necks and destroyed completely and forever as a result of the anointing that Christ brings to everyone who receives Him as Savior and Lord.

Yes, Christ Jesus is God the father’s answer to the sin problem. He paid the price of Adam’s disobedience through His death on the cross, so that sin will no longer separate us from God. He brought us back into fellowship with God. Therefore those of us in Christ are no longer far from God, we have become one spirit with Him. We are no longer slaves to sickness, disease, or hurts and pain because of the stripes he bore in His body. For poverty, He became poor that through His poverty we are rich. For our needs, all our needs are supplied according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. For the devil, Christ defeated him mercilessly and released us from his grip forever. Hallelujah!

Your personal revelation of Christ's work, however is what will enable you experience all these blessings and more. The mad man in Mark 5 account saw Jesus as the anointed one and without any prompting, worshipped Him. His personal revelation of Christ allowed him to experience his total deliverance from insanity. Jesus revealed in Matthew 16:19 that true revelation of Christ is revealed by God the Father alone. This means that we need to feed our spirit consistently with the word and in prayer so we can be sensitive to hear or receive revelation from the father. This is very important because our level of revelation determines our level of freedom in Christ..

Obedience to God’s Word is Key to Enjoying Life!

“God is bringing you to a place of rest so that you can focus on the things concerning His purpose for you on earth without any interruptions of misfortunes.”

Please read John 10:10 ; 1 Kings 5:4 ;Hebrews 11:6; John 15:7 ;1 Corinthians 13;Leviticus 27: 30-32;Prov 3:9-10

Dear Friend,
In the past several weeks we have been studying on how to enjoy life at its fullest with regards to faith ,family and finances. The anchor scriptures are taken from John 10:10 and 1 Kings 5 : 4.It is very clear from these scriptures that the one adversary who steals from you, kills and destroys every aspect of life is Satan. God's intent is to give you rest on every side so there is no adversary or misfortune in your life. Wow! this is too good to be true. Sounds like a fantasy but that is God’s will for our lives. He desires for us to enjoy life at its fullest. But that path to the good life can only be attained through Jesus Christ and our total obedience to His word. No matter how well intentioned we are to have strong faith, strong family, or attain a strong financial position in life , our willingness to give the word of God first place in our lives is the determining factor to enjoying life at its fullest.

Faith is simply believing in God and acting according to that belief. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Therefore if you believe that God has saved you from sin, then you act like it. If you believe that God’s will is for you to enjoy the good life, then be diligent to be word –of- God -driven in everything you do and resist every form of setback Satan brings. You do not have to cower under bed covers moaning over pain and sicknesses. You have to stand on the word and resist sickness knowing that by His stripes you were healed. Refuse to stay depressed under a mountain of bills that are due. Instead make sure you have done the will of God by paying your tithes and giving your offerings. Then declare with joy that “I believe that my bills are paid.” As one who tithes, God rebukes the devourer for my sake and as a giver, He supplies all my needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

Successful communication makes a successful marriage. When communication is ineffective it hurts. If you do not get your oil changed in your car on schedule , your engine may malfunction. Effective communication born out of wisdom from the word of God and prayer will facilitate peaceful relationships. Husbands, Wives, children, slow yourselves down and talk. Cultivate intimate relationships by doing things together. If you are in a relationship, It is worth fighting for it to work.

My friend, it is the perfect will of God for you to enjoy overflowing prosperity but there is a condition attached to that overflow. We see it echoed in several scriptures such as In Deuteronomy 5: 29. God reveals that when we honor Him by obeying all His commandments then it shall be well with us and our children forever. He has commanded us to pay the first tenth of our income to Him. If it is not first tenth, it is not tithe. Giving God first place is what constitutes honor. In 2 Corinthians 9 : 6-12 we are told that we will enjoy abundance if we give cheerfully and willingly.

As you continue to learn the Word of God your capacity is expanded to receive even more. Focus on the Word of God.

Overflowing Prosperity

Tithing off the gross honors God. It opens the door for Jesus,  Himself to help meet your tax needs and other obligations so that you can enjoy the overflow without any interference.

Please read Proverbs 3: 9-10; Deuteronomy 4 :40 ;5:29 ; 26:1-11;Matthew 15:8 ;Leviticus 27:30-32;Malachi 3:8-10

Dear Friend,
I am sure you may wonder why we are talking about tithing this week. Well that is because tithing is one of the ways God has chosen to be honored. Remember last week we expressed that a person will only feel honored and appreciated if you do it according to their preference. Proverbs 3 :9 and 10 does not mince words when it records that God says, honor me with your possessions, And with the first fruits of all your increases so that your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. This a perfect picture of overflowing prosperity!My friend, it is the perfect will of God for you to enjoy overflowing prosperity but there is a condition attached to that overflow. We see it echoed in several scripture s such as In Deuteronomy 5: 29. God reveals that when we honor Him by obeying all His commandments then it shall be well with us and our children forever. He has commanded us to pay the first tenth of our income to Him. If it is not first tenth it is not tithe. Giving God first place is what constitute honor.

God does not want you to live from pay check to pay check, barely making ends to meet. Many people have had struggles with this seeming simple condition. They have always entertained excuses why they can not give God their time, possessions, money, and pay the tithes. The reason is simple . Satan does not want you to honor God with your possessions because he knows you will be blessed tremendously, to have dominion and influence in the world around you. He wants you to be the beggar ,begging for a bailout ,always. He does not want you to be one that lends money to nations , meet the needs of the poor or expand the influence and plans of God’s Kingdom on earth. There is so much power involved with tithing, the devil will do everything he can do to stop you from paying it. That is why the first murder ever committed on earth was committed over the tithe. Yes Cain murdered Abel because God preferred his tithe to Cain’s. Abel offered God the firstlings of his cattle. Cain offered God the last leftovers of his harvest. Adam chose to dishonor God by allowing satan to talk him into spending or eating what belonged to God. That dishonorable act, brought about the curse, toil and hardship to mankind and it took Jesus to help us get back on track. We do not want to experience any curse because of our disobedience.

I pray that you will see that your problem has never been with your pastor or the church talking too much about money. Your struggle has always been with satan who does not want you to honor the Lord. What will you give to God after paying such awesome price on the cross to free you from satan’s harassments. Remember Jesus paid the price for you, so that you can have the will to overcome every temptation of the enemy in your life . Honoring God is a choice , therefore make a quality decision to do it in Jesus Name.

Keys To Realizing God's Will For Our Family

In order to realize God’s will for your family you need to give the word of God first place in your family and walk in love ,by allowing your love for God to overflow to everyone

Please read : Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ; Matthew 7:24- 27;Luke 10 : 27 ; Psalm 150 ;1 Thessalonians 5 :12

Dear Friend,
Did you know that you can tear down your family or build it up for victory through what you say and do? Jesus made it plain, in His concluding remarks to the Sermon on the Mount when He emphasized that anyone who “hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Vice versa.In other words when we do not obey what the word of God instructs us to do in the affairs of our lives , we place our families in a defenseless position against any challenges that may occur. It is obvious that challenges may come but a family or individual who functions based on the word of God , is guaranteed victory in any circumstances that may come up against them.

It is not enough to give yourself to the word and not be influenced by it. When you catch the spirit of the word through daily search, it drives you to pursue love, because God is love. The Holy spirit will drive you base d on the intensity of your desire to be come a doer of the word. It is unrealistic to love and praise God and be mean to family members. The same driving fore that enable s us to love God is the same that we need to be loving towards our family. There is enough power in the revelation you receive from the word to drive you to love God with all your heart and strength .In John 15 : 12 Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. God is interested in how we treat people and nothing is going to work for us spiritually ,if we violate the command to love. The best place to practice walking in love is at home. If we can walk in love at home, then we can do it anywhere. It’s the place where we are most likely to be unkind and irritable, because we get close enough to others for them to rub us the wrong way. It is very important to place a demand on ourselves to be kind and patient with everyone .Apologize and make the necessary adjustments immediately you treat someone in an unloving way. One way to do this is to make a quality decision to always live according to the description of love given in I Corinthians 13..Love is patient and kind .It is not rude and self seeking. Love believes the best in every one.

Since we have no choice but to love our neighbor or the undeserving family member ,the onus falls on us to develop an interest in knowing more about them in order that we may be able to serve them at the point of their need or appreciate them appropriately. Once we have taken a good look, we will come to the point where we always want to esteem them in several of the following ways. Showering them with gifts; Speaking words of affirmation and not beating them down; Always planning to spend quality time with them ;Showing affection through hugs and appropriate gestures; Performing specific acts of service that say, ‘I care ‘.
A family member or neighbor that is genuinely appreciated or praised is more likely to be happier and apt to support and protect the interest of family with the highest enthusiasm. This is an excellent atmosphere for everyone to flourish and prosper in every arena of life. And that is God’s perfect will!

God's Will For The Family - Strong!

No matter where your family is, the Lord’s will is to perfect everything that concerns it-But you have to labor to build it by His Word and not tear it down!

Please read : Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ;Psalms 138 : 8; Psalm 34:10 ; Isaiah 35 : 16;Exodus 23:25 ; Hebrews 11:11

Dear Friend,

Yes , your family can be what you have always desired it to be. A place where every one is loved and no one lacks any good thing. A place of safety and peace, where your children are raised in the admonition of the Lord. I mean a place, as the days of heaven on earth. Wow, think about it for a second. Well, perhaps you may say this does not apply to my family because mine is so low in the lowest low it never can be built up again. I tell you, there is no situation so dead that Jesus can not raise it up again. Jesus suffered the pain of going into the depths of hell so he can take care of any situation that is so messed up. There is no sin, no matter how terrible it is, that He cannot forgive or help you to forgive.

There are several examples in scriptures where failing families were restored ,because one person purposed in their heart to see a change and cooperated with God to let it happen. The seeming feud between Jacob and Esau ,after Jacob deliberately stole his brother’s inheritance was resolved, when Jacob committed the issue to God for His intervention. Joseph decided to do it God’s way by forgiving his brothers for selling him as slave to the Ishmaelite. With men the situation with your spouse or family may seem impossible to resolve but with God it is very possible. If you will let Him. There is nothing too hard for God. No matter the pain or anger, Jesus can heal you wherever you hurt, then you too can forgive and your family can be restored. No matter what the doctors have said, you can receive power from God to conceive and bring forth a child. No matter how old you think you are, you shall never lack a marriage partner if you desire and believe God for it. This God’s perfect will for you and your family!

We want to be the one person in our families that will make the quality decision to be on God’s side in everything we do and say. One way to open the door for God’s intervention in our families is let the word of God dwell in our hearts so richly that without much ado, it becomes our guide and highest authority in life. Did you realize that our main scripture in Deuteronomy 6 indicates that the word of God should be at the fore front of our thinking always, fathers, mothers, children ,alike. No one is exempted from God’s expectation to be led by His word. His desire is for everyone to belong to a family well loved, secure and prosperous in every area of life. Make Christ the head of your Home. The unseen guest at every meal and the silent listener to every conversation. Standby for Keys to realizing a strong family next week.

Prayer: Heavenly Father in Jesus name come into my family and perfect everything that concerns us. Amen.

Your Church Is Your Family Created By Jesus

Your local church is an ordained place prepared for you by God to meet every need; spiritually, physically, mentally, socially and financially!

Please read : Jeremiah 3:14-15;Psalms 68: 6a ; Colossians 1:16; 2Corinthians 5:18
Dear Friend,

This week we are studying about the most important family you will ever know on earth. Certainly not the royal family of England or the First Family in America. We are referring to the specially designed family handpicked and created through the shedding of Jesus’ blood. A family born out of God. According to Ephesians 3: 14-15 this family is named after Jesus Christ our lord. It is the Local assembly of believers from the past ,the present and future ages who have named Jesus as savior and Lord. Theocracy is the rule of the game and not democracy. God rules through the Pastor called to shepherd that local assembly. Thus, it is not like a Burger King, where you choose what you want to eat but in this family, you eat what God provides for your pastor to cook for you. I tell you the food is nourishing and easy to enjoy at the Harvest! The key to your success in this family is total obedience and submission to the leadership ordained or delegated.

As you may well know ,every entity is marked or distinguished by the purpose for which it was created. The manufacturer or creator provides the features, parts, design and resources in a manner that is suitable for the entity to fulfill its purpose. Harvest Time Church is honored to “making ready a people prepared for the lord”, according to Luke 1:17. And the main pillars that hold the structure of the vision together, are our core values, namely, ‘We exist for God’s Glory’ and ‘Evangelism is our number one priority'. Every member of the Harvest Time Church family has a part of the resources or design necessary for the fulfillment of the vision, placed inside of them by God. A conducive atmosphere is created for everyone of us to reach our greatest potential in every thing we do. That is why we encourage every one of us to get connected to a ministry family so we can fulfill our part of the vision. How does it feel to realize that when Jesus comes, the only work you probably did for the kingdom of God is what you are currently doing in your local church. Everything you do in your local church therefore counts with God so give it your best.

At Harvest Time Church, we are interested in your whole spirit , soul and body prosperity according to 1Thessalonians 5:23. Therefore we minister to your spiritual, physical, mental ,social and financial wellbeing-Please check HTC website for details. Our passion is to make sure that every one that comes through our doors is given the opportunity to be strong in the Lord in order to be victorious in life. Physically and mentally capable of maintaining balance at all times. Socially, we are here to help you enjoy effective relationships at all spheres in life, as well as financially becoming capable of being a blessing to the nations and to every righteous cause.

Our corporate social responsibility in our community is also at an all time high because we are always preparing to meet urgent needs through our foreign missionary work , disaster relief initiatives and other outreach programs. This is one aspect of evangelism we enjoy doing! Becoming Jesus’ hands and feet as well as His mouth.

A warm family welcome always awaits you at the Harvest!

How To Exercise Self Control In Relationships

Sticking hard to the word of God daily is the sureway to control your insatiable appetites in any relationships.

Please read : 1 Corinthians 7:1-1-9, 33-34;1 Corinthians 13

Dear Friend,

Oh wow, this week was just great! You need to get the DVDs/CDs to hear the important details our pastor shared. We understand that God's original intent is for everyone of us who desires to marry to find one who is a suitable complement to us. Once we allow God’s standard to lead us ,we will find a mate that we are physically attracted to. One that we enjoy pleasing . One who complements us in fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. Remember no matter where you are today in your relationships, God can bring His blessing in, if you make a quality decision to change your course to follow the dictates of what His word says concerning your relationship. If you sincerely desire His help, God is willing to give you grace to live in harmony with your spouse, always. It takes consistently feeding on the word of God to provide the inner strength you need, so that your spirit and your renewed mind will lead you and not how you feel. Therefore, the seeming negative tendencies we see in each other should not “get on our “nerves” but rather be used as a means to maintain balance in the affairs of our homes. Think about that. Hmm!? God has provided all the satisfaction and fulfillment you will ever need in marriage in your spouse. It is therefore your God given responsibility to discover them, then do your part to create the right environment through obedience in the word to nourish its constant flow. Relationship building is work.

Boundaries keep us legal and safe! Therefore, enjoy the boundaries the word of God provides for you. You may say,”Oh no ! you do not understand, I am physically attracted to this other woman/man.” “I have an uncontrollable sexual appetite ,or I cannot stop indulging in pornography and masturbation.” My friend, I know you say you love God ,but these practices go against the word of God and the nature of Love and will ruin your marriage. Love does not seek to please its own. Talk openly to your spouse about your desires and be ready to yield to what the word instructs both of you to do. As a Christian you are to control your appetites and conduct yourself in a manner that is pleasing to God.

The next time you are tempted, reach out for the word. In addition, put away sexually explicit material and avoid conversations, places, or company with friends that may encourage you to fall for the temptation. Another way out is to pray in the language of the spirit regularly so you can be built up in faith and allow the Holy Spirit to grace you with self control against anger, sexual immorality or wasteful spending. You can overcome and enjoy your family!

No matter what you are faced with, let the wisdom of God guide you to do your best and expect the best always.

Prayer: Heavenly father in Jesus name help me ! I know you want me to love my spouse or loved one unconditionally. This time I’m ready to allow you to walk with me every step of the way, so I can succeed .

Understanding God's Original Intent for Marriage

Marriage is a life long commitment that requires you to order your life to please your spouse in the Lord!

Please read Genesis 2:18-25;Genesis 19:4-6;1 Corinthians 7:1-1-5, 33-34

Dear Friend,

Last week we emphasized on the fact that being strong in the Lord is the only way we can succeed in our relationships. God is the originator of the family, marriage and relationships. As such, the level of our success is determined by our knowledge of the originator’s manual, and how we are willing to obey. Therefore you become a strong individual in your relationships when you carefully follow the course of the instituter. In Genesis 1, every thing God created was good, He see s family life and marriage as “good”. However that goodness was corrupted through sheer disobedience. His original intent was not to put anyone in a family for hurt, betrayal, disappointment and destruction. The confusion ,pain and broken heart came with the appearance of the devil to the scene. He corrupts everything he is allowed to touch. And we allow him into our lives when we disobey God by making decisions based on the dictates of our five senses, what we see, hear, feel touch or smell. Therefore we are hurting, confused, bitter and sad about our marriage and family life because we have allowed the devil in. He always thrives when we act according to the flesh because he is a master in that area since he has been engaged in it for thousands of years! Give him no place!

My friend, in order for me to enjoy my marriage or family life, I need to take a quality decision, that no matter how I feel I am going to live what the manual for marriage instructs me to do. I'm going to work on myself to ensure that what God says about my spouse ,son, daughter, mom, dad, is what I think about always. I make God greater than the way I feel. He certainly deserves my attention more than giving in to how I feel. If you want your car to operate at optimum capacity at all times you will not deliberately send your Mercedes to Toyota to fix it. Obvious! Then why would you listen to everyone but God to fix your marriage and relationship. Whether you are single or married, selfishness always ruins us and our loved ones. Our actions ,our thoughts must be guided by love, which is what the word of God will direct you to do.

Once you have allowed the Holy Spirit and what the word of says to govern your way of doing things then you will be willing and able to please your spouse in the Lord or enter any relationship with the interest of the other person in mind. Please take a look at your marriage and relationships again and let God help you!

Enjoying Life at it's Fullest! - Family

Nothing Launches, till the atmosphere is right!-Be a strong person in the Lord to enjoy a strong family life.




Please read John 17:17;Acts 3:15-16;Joel 3:10;Ephesians 6:10-16

Dear Friend,

In the next few sessions we will be dealing with how to enjoy our family life to the fullest! No matter what we are going through in our marriage or family life, the word of God has solutions to every bugging question plaguing our lives if we will spend the time to search diligently. With the world’s greatest systems failing, and hurting every facet of world economies, many people are seeking reliable escapes. And searching for ways to build a future that will last despite what is happening .Everything is being shaken ,everything will pass away except for the word of God. Therefore it becomes obvious for any one looking for lasting satisfaction and security for the future to go in the direction of the word of God. Jesus made it clear that it is only those who hear His words and obey that will overcome the storms and uncertainties of this world. Such persons become unmovable and unshaken! Those who take the time to know God through His word and obey will become strong and do exploits. They are able to create the right atmosphere ,in spite of opposing circumstances ,for their marriages, businesses, children to thrive.

In the words of our pastor," nothing launches when the atmosphere is not right" In short strong families are made up of strong individuals. Strong businesses are made up of strong individuals. How many weak people are dressed up? How many weak people are covering up by eating in expensive restaurants, hanging around famous people, or spending hours unend at the shopping malls? That is not the solution to ease that pain they have been struggling to cover up. A strong person is willing to admit when he is wrong or needs help. A strong person is willing to face the truth –the word of God and make changes wherever necessary.

A strong person is a person who is single focused on the word of God and is willing to obey it at any cost. This is God’s prescription for becoming strong, You see what God has said ,You say what God has said and You do what God has said, even if it seem as though it does not make sense. By following this prescription you are helping to create the right atmosphere for life at its fullest in your home, business, etc.

Prayer: Heavenly father in Jesus name reveal to me the truth about my family, marriage situation in the light of your word. Teach me to always focus on doing my part and help me by your grace to strengthen the areas in my life I need to work on. Today I roll out every care I may have in my relationships to you. Amen

Enjoying Life at it's Fullest.

We have all been given a measure of faith at new birth, but we’ve got to use our faith to give God Glory!








Please read Romans 12;3;Luke 17 :5-6; Proverbs 4:20-23; Matthew 5:16;

Dear Friend,
This week we learnt that every believer has been given the measure of faith. It is not surprising at all that this is the case, because God knows that we need faith in order to please Him , as well as to enjoy our life at its fullest here on earth. We all know that Jesus has paid the price for us to enjoy abundant life however, we have to follow God’s acceptable pathway-faith- to secure all those blessings tangibly. If this is the case, then, we tend to miss out on what God has for us when we choose not to use our faith. According to Luke 17:5-6 it is only when we use our faith that our faith will grow .When you exercise your faith in the not- so -important things of life, such as forgiving a person who spoke ill of you ,then your faith will grow to the point where you are able to receive healing for a terminal ailment.. A flabby shaped guy does not need more muscles outside of himself but only needs to regularly exercise the muscles he already has to grow his muscles.

In proverbs 4:20-24 we understand the process by which faith is developed. First, we have to pay attention to the word of God by listening attentively with our ears and reading intently with our eyes. As we consistently do this, t he word begins to take root in our heart. A conviction is established, a belief is born and faith becomes evident because what is established in our heart naturally affects our confession and our actions. At this stage it is very crucial that we guard our hearts against any doubt or fear entering our heart to contaminate the faith that has been developed. Remember Jesus clearly stated in Mark 11:23 that if you say to the mountain to go into the sea … and do not doubt in your heart you will have whatever you say.

Why do you think God wants you to live by faith? I believe the reason is to give God the glory according to Matthew 5:16. You see the higher place of affluence and influence that God has ordained for you on this earth can not be achieved easily outside of Faith. The place God wants you to be is so great you need Him to attain it. Hmm, how can I attain the position of lending to nations? It will take faith. How can I attain the position of doing greater works than what Jesus did on earth? By faith. The list goes on. However, if I am able to become diligent in seeing what God has said ,saying what God has said and doing what God has said then every one will begin to see God’s blessing on my life and give Him Glory for His faithfulness to His word!

Prayer : Father today, I make a quality decision to pay attention to your word by taking time to allow it to take root in my heart.. I receive grace to study ,listen and read your word daily in Jesus name! Amen.

Enjoying Life at it's Fullest! - The Power of Faith

In this edition, you will understand why using your Faith is Key.



You put your Faith to work when you say what you believe and Act on it!

Please read Luke 17:5-6 Hebrews 11:1
Dear Friends,
If Faith is released by saying what you believe, then what you believe must be very important… Remember Jesus said, that He has come, that we should have life in it fullness till it over flow, irrespective of the devil’s attempt to steal from us. God has provided us a place of escape so we can enjoy this life, which is Faith. For as long as we stay in the arena of faith and not in our senses, we will always win over the devil. For the bible clearly says that whatever is born of God overcomes the world. If our health, family, and finances are born according to the word of God, we shall overcome any challenge that comes our way. This means that in order to operate in Faith we must believe everything the word of God says about Jesus.
What then is Faith? Simply put, Faith is “believing” in God and working or acting according to that belief.

Faith is the powerful force that causes the blessings we have in the spirit realm to move in our direction so we can experience them. In the same way as, when the appropriate physical force applied to an object will cause it to move from one place to where we desire it to be. Hmm, Cause and effect is evidenced here, thus like kinetic energy, Faith is also a law according to Romans 3:27. If it is a law, then it must work everywhere and at any time we put it to use. Again if it is a law, then irrespective of how you are feeling, you are required to apply the right rules in order to benefit from it.

Therefore in order for Faith to work, you should adhere strictly to the principles that make it work in your favor. The following summarizes how to manufacture or mix faith with the word of God, you hear concerning a specific situation, you want to change. Once you hear the specific word, masticate or chew on it for some time. So, you can meditate on it day and night, till complete digestion takes place through absorption (renewing your mind) and assimilation which is spirit and soul and body acting in line with the word.

Prayer: Father, thank you for giving me grace to mix with the word I hear in Jesus name!

Prayer for the Week: Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for helping me understand that no matter how I feel or how it looks, you expect me to still “trust” you and to “never” give up saying what you have said about my circumstance. I am willing to please “you” with my Faith. Give me grace to be a diligent student of your word. Amen!

Words - The Power to change your World!

-What are you saying to yourself? It is only what you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that will come to pass.

According to Romans 10:10, it is only what you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that will come to pass. Remember, we shared previously, when we say what God has said and do not doubt in our hearts then we shall have what we say!

What are you saying to yourself? God is more interested in what you are saying when nobody is watching, because that is what you truly believe. The woman, referred to in Matthew 9:20-21, spoke what she believed in her heart. That is what attracted the power of God to direct His attention towards her for healing. During challenging times, do not quit saying what God has said, because He hastens His word to perform it. Say to yourself “I am not going to let the devil run my life. Today is my finest hour, I have never had it so good and my increase has come!”

Prayer for the Week: Father, in the name of Jesus, thank You for helping me understand that no matter how I feel or how it looks, You expect me to still trust You . I must never give up saying what You have said about my circumstances. I am willing to please You with my faith. Give me grace to be a diligent student of Your word. Amen!

Keep Saying What God has Said

It is the trick of the devil to make you think that your yesterday was better than today. Put pressure on your mouth! Yes it is better today-keep saying what God has Said!

Ecclesiastes 7:10 (New King James Version)
Do not say,  “ Why were the former days better than these?”  For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. 

Proverbs 4:18 (New King James Version)
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.


Dear Friend,
What an amazing five weeks we have had together! And we give God the glory. Before we go any further please invest money and time in all the CDs and DVDs on Pastor’s message ‘Words'. Listen or watch them over and over again till the lessons become your personal belief or persuasion, that way when you are faced with a challenge you will know how to easily and effectively use the knowledge you have acquired to overcome victoriously every time at any place.
Have you ever wondered, “Oh Lord when am I going to experience what I have been saying for all these weeks? Hmm, I think this ‘saying what God has said’ business does not work for me. But wait a minute, before you consider quitting, let's turn our bibles to Ezekiel chapter 12:21-28.The nation of Israel had given up trust in the ability of the word of God to perform." It is taken too long", they thought. You may also be thinking I have said all I can say and it does not seem to work. I do not think I’m going to get healed” or “I do not think I am going to get that job “ From the scripture we just read, we learn that God does not want us to give up but to keep speaking what He has said because He is looking to reward your faith. He is looking to find faith in your heart. Ezekiel pleased God when he exercised his faith by continuing to speak what God had said, so, God performed His word without delay. He is looking to see whether you did a good job spending time in His word for faith to be born.
Jesus said there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed. When squeezed, a sponge soaked in water will release water. Under pressure what you have spent quality time in will show up. The earlier we take this serious the better for us because God is not is not ready to change His mind about we saying what He has said. In fact in Ecclesiastes 7:10 He vehemently considers it unwise for us to say there was a better Yesterday than today. This means that He expects you to keep saying what He has said even if it seems the contrary. That pleases Him because He appreciate the fact that you trust Him more than what you see or feel. You have to learn to train your feelings on how it should feel instead of letting your feelings tell you how to believe. It's all about trusting God and sticking with him to the end. There is an end to all the challenges you face and your expectation in Him will not fail.

Prayer for the Week: Father in the name of Jesus thank you for helping me understand that no matter how I feel or how it looks you expect me to still trust you and never give up saying what you have said about my circumstance .I am willing to please you with my faith. Give me grace to be a diligent student of your word. Amen!

Where your words go when you say what God has said.

The devil is always confessing his lies over your life, counteract them fiercely by confessing always what God has said about your life!

Revelation 12:10-11 (New King James Version)

“Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (New King James Version)
“… For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”

Dear Friend,
Last week we learned that we all have to make a quality decision to win the battle against distraction or laziness, so that we can spend quality time in the word of God till our hearts begin to see what God is saying about our lives. Until our hearts see it we cannot say it consistently in the face of opposition. This is because the only way our confession is going to yield results is when it is born out of believing. According to 2 Corinthians 4:13 we automatically speak what we believe. Why is this so important? Well, you know the devil is going to continue to bombard you with thoughts of despair till you become weary and say words of death and failure about your life. Our scripture reference in the book of Revelation tells us of how the devil is relentless in his pursuit to wear us down with his lies. You need to develop an inner strength or resistance mechanism in you to resist him all the time by consistently confessing the truth of God’s word. The reason why you are not resisting the devil fiercely in your life is because you are not seeing clearly what God is saying. Your view is distorted by the noise from contrary voices. Once you see clearly, you will fight for what you see. Jesus Christ endured the cross because he saw the joy set before him. Until we are convinced in our hearts ,the slightest opposition will push us to change our confession of God’s word.How then do I gain the inner strength to consistently speak the truth of God’s word irrespective of satan’s onslaught? Please listen to pastor’s July 12 CD/DVD sets.

First, you should not allow any guilt from a sin you have committed to keep you bound and weak. Jesus paid for all that when he shed His blood for you and me. The blood of Jesus, our advocate still speaks mercy over us all. As soon as we repent and confess we become free. Knowing this will give you the boldness you need to stand up against the devil and not cowardly give in.

Another effective way is to guard your thoughts by allowing only thoughts that line up with the word of God, such as thoughts that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of a good report , full of virtue and praise worthy (Phil 4:8). My friend, if you become diligent in this exercise, by giving no place to any contrary thought pattern, you are on your way to victory. Start it today!

Prayer for the Week: Father in the name of Jesus thank you for providing victory for me through the blood of Jesus. I thank you that the Holy Spirit is my help. I make a quality decision to pay closer attention to what I allow to fill my thought life. I will think on things that line up with your word, I know I can do it because you are always there to help. Amen

Words: The Power of Revelation!

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (NKJV)

Dear Friend,

You may ask, “How can I see what God is saying when my life is totally experiencing a downward spiral?”

We all have to make a quality decision to spend quality time in the word of God until our hearts begin to see what God has said about our health, life ,finances, etc. God has spoken in His word concerning every area of our lives. Until our hearts see it, we cannot receive it in our lives.

Remember we learned from a previous lesson that the #1 weapon of the devil against God’s people is ignorance, that is, our inability to see what God has said concerning our situation. The devil’s strategy is to sidetrack us so that we do not pay serious attention to God’s word in order to see what He has said. We must focus intently on the word of God concerning our situations. This will allow us to hold fast, never doubting; and will empower us to wage a good warfare based on what we have seen in the word. (1 Timothy 1:18.)

Of great importance, the Holy Spirit is the one who opens our ears to hear and our eyes to see what God is saying. Without Him we can never see, no matter how we try. We need the Holy Spirit to bring understanding in our study of the word.

Prayer for the Week: Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for showing me that until I see what you are saying I cannot say what you say about my situation. I yield my leisure time to you so you can help me focus on what matters. I make a quality decision to mute any distracting voices in my life so I can hear you clearly till I see what you are saying. I will never doubt you and therefore I will receive what ever you say about my life. Amen.

Change has Come To You!

Scripture:: 16 “ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." Matthew 9:16-17

Dear Friend,

I’m quite sure everyone of us have greatly desired a very progressive change in our lives.. In our relationships, finances, status in life, career, health or even our daily walk with Jesus our Lord. God let’s us know He desires that for us too in Jeremiah 29:11.The perfect change only comes from God. And since God is spirit ,He first brings the Change and everything we need to experience that change in our spirit. Therefore we have to do what is required for our spirit to be strong enough to lead our mind and body to experience that change. According to the passage above, if we do not know how to respond to change ,we will loose out on the benefits it may bring to you. What if your pre-k son refuses to attend his new kindergarten class because he is used to being in his pre-k class ?Change will not benefit us if we refuse to take the responsibility to do what it takes to experience that desired change.
I do not know what you are going through but I do know God has a perfect way of escape for you in that depressing situation. His way out for you is first for you to take time to look for His way of escape in the word of God. Once you find out the way of escape and what it takes to get there, then humbly accept only what God says about you and the situation till your mind is renewed in agreement with what He says. Once you take authority to do what He says to do, expect nothing else but the good, God promises. Stay your ground, and never faint. And while you wait for the manifestation of your change, do well to be kind to your church, family and neighbors by meeting their needs as may be made known to you. Remember, what ever you make happen for others God will make happen for you !We always reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7)
Prayer for the Week: Father in the name of Jesus thank you for making available a perfect change and way of escape for (name the situation)….Please show me the way of change and give me grace to stick to the instructions you give to me through your word and my pastor so I can experience the wonderful change you have for me. I believe my change has finally come. Amen………

Words- The power to change your world!

Scripture:: Hebrews 11:3 (New King James Version)
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Proverbs 18:21 (New King James Version)

” Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Dear Friend,

As a child of God, you have been created in His image and likeness, which means you are created to do things like your father God (Ephesians 5:1). From the very first chapter of Genesis we read how God said what He wanted to occur and it was so. Each time He said it was good, why?, because what He saw agreed with what He had in His thought before He spoke. My friend, God framed this whole world by His words. You can also frame your world by what He has told you by confessing in agreement with Him consistently till you experience your change. If you see what God has said and consistently say and do what He had said then you can experience the good life Jesus has freely given to you to enjoy!

You cannot say what you do not see. What do you see? A life beaten down, hurt, broke and disgusted? No, No No, lets close the chapter of our lives where we see only what is contrary to What God Has said. It is very important to speak God’s words and not your own words. God's word is His divine expression. His word is an extension of Himself. It contains the power,life,light and love you need to fight off every opposition and still enable you to enjoy the blessed life and be a blessing. God's word is so powerful to the extent that this vast world of ours is being held together by the word of his power. Therefore when you spend time in prayer and in His word and you do not quit till the Holy Spirit helps you to see what He says you will never be consistent in saying God’s word. So what are we to do, lets begin to shut down all the distractions in our lives and focus on what God is saying about our situation ,till we see it .Remember your life is good when it meets the expectation of the thoughts of God. God will always make you do things that will require you to depend on Him. He will not give you an assignment that will make Him irrelevant! Some of us will say, Oh God I can’t love my wife, my husband, I can’t forgive, I can’t do this I can't do that. Those excuses should not hinder you, as He did for Jeremiah, He will provide for you wherever your deficit is. please read Jeremiah 1:5-19.

Prayer for the Week: Father in the name of Jesus thank you for showing me that you have given me power to bring your perfect plan to pass in my situation through speaking of your word. Please show me what you are saying about my situation and help me to see it. I receive grace to wait on you in prayer and in your word till I am able to clearly see it, speak it and do it without much ado .Amen.
