Christian Living
Decree it!Claim it!Reach for it! God’s promises upon Your life.The enemy wants to steal it. He is the father of lies! And with this, he craftily devices his schemes to delay the fulfillment of your destiny and mine!
But greater is He that’s living in me than He that is in the world! Anyone who believes and repents, and accepts Christ as Lord is a joint heir in God’s kingdom. We are called to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a chosen generation, a peculiar people. God brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light! We are meant to live a victorious life. If you feel defeated, get back up for a just man falleth seven times but he gets up! The greatest glory is not never falling but rising every time you fall.
It is in our weaknesses that God’s strength is made perfect so thank the Lord for every trial and tribulation. Thank God for the Judas in your life; the husband or boyfriend who walked out on you; the family who abandoned you; the people who said you won’t amount to anything because it is them that God ordained to show you his redemptive plan. God will prosper you. Give you peace that surpasses all understanding but you must count the cost. There must be battle before the breakthrough because when you receive your divine appointment, all hell breaks lose and Satan sends an assignment to abort God’s promises in the womb of your spirit! So press on! Fight the good fight of faith!
Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us because God has poured out his love into our hearts but the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. The Holy Spirit is our counselor, our guide. He is the voice of God here on earth. When Christ ascended into heaven, He promised us an advocate and that is the Spirit of God.
Fret not, my dear brothers and sisters! For you who has destiny delayed, it is not destiny denied! Take hold of the victory that has already been won in Christ Jesus. Do you feel in your spirit that you are meant to be a business leader, a financer of God’s kingdom, a counselor, a healer, an evangelist, a world-changer? Then so be it but you must hold unswervingly to the faith that we profess because He who has promised is faithful!
But also take heed because there is a cost to following Christ. Those who posses the million dollar faith that allows them to operate in million dollar ministries at one point became bankrupt! So let the Lord empty you out because only then can he pour out His Spirit. Who can ascend to the God’s holy hill but only he who has clean hands and a pure heart. Watch your motives. Guard your heart for out of it flows the issues of life.
Do not let the book of the law depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night and be careful to do what is written in it so you may be prosperous and successful! God wants us to conquer; not just survive our circumstances. So Lazarus, get up! Let not the handmaidens or the disciples sleep for the hour is coming when Christ will come back for His bridegroom- a victorious church who knows her husband!
So know the Lord. Know the God you serve. Delight in his Word! Take up your crosses daily and die to your flesh! Ask Him to forgive our iniquities, blot out our transgressions, wash us with hyssop, and make us as white as snow!
We, as Christians are not meant to sit comfortably on our pews and wait for God to bless us. We must bless the Lord at all times. We are meant to be containers of His glory and not keep it to ourselves but we must be vessels and channels of His great love and His mercy!
But we must also remember that we need to be pliable and moldable…yielding to the refiner’s fire as He breaks us only to make us a new creation. He doesn’t want an improved version of you… He wants to make you new, everyday! His tender mercies are new every morning so receive it!
Ask God to allow you into His throne room. Ask Him to welcome you into the presence of the Most High! He says enter his gates with thanksgiving and come into His courts with praise. Praise the Lord!
The Lord’s plan is to prosper you and not to harm you. To give you a hope and a future! So stake your claim in the kingdom! Surrender all to Him because God cannot give you more, exceedingly and abundantly, according to his riches and glory unless you open your hands, give up that which you are clutching in your palm, and receive. Satan dines on our leftovers. So don’t allow him to. Make an altar before you and lay it down. Say, Lord, I place this at the foot of the Cross. Take care of it for me because I can’t do it myself. My unfaithful spouse, my rebellious child, my dysfunctional family, my stagnating career, my endless cycle of debt, my messed up life! Lord, I plead the blood of the lamb upon these things. I give them all to you because you have said cast your burdens upon me and I will give you rest.
The Lord also asks us never to make a peace treaty with the devil. If there is unrighteousness and sin in your life, do not tolerate it lest it contaminates you and robs you of your promise. We are not meant to peacefully co-exist! We must wage war because we are enlisted as God’s army in this spiritual battle. So take up daily the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness and the sandals of peace. But fear not for I am with you, through the end of the age…says the Lord.
Who is man that Thou should be mindful of him? Who are we that the Lord should care for us so much? We are his children but as we know the vine by the fruit it produces, so shall the world know that we are of the Lord. So be a witness by your testimony because everything you go through will be used to strengthen the brethren. Every Christian is called to restore and be a comforter to each other so God wants to make you a credible source of His grace and love. Allow Him today to penetrate the core of your being. Ask Him once again to come and fill you.
Holy Spirit than you for this Word that is a double edged sword that cuts us through and through. Grant us the strength, the double portion of your wisdom just like Elisha. Open our spiritual eyes that we may see things the way you want us to. Open our spiritual ears that we may hear your voice clearly. Grant us the strength to obey even when our flesh says no. Grants us more compassion so that we can be your arms of love to this hurting world.
