A NEW TYPE OF MAN

  “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). A Christian is not someone who turned a new leaf or changed from living the bad life to a good life. No! It’s greater than that; the day you received Christ into your life, you became a new creation; you received newness of life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…” he’s not going to be, he is! It’s a present-hour reality! The term ‘new creature’ connotes ‘a new species of being.’ It’s not merely referring to a new life that has just begun, but also to newness in type! The new creation is a new type of man; he belongs to a new race, one that never existed before – the superman in Christ! Jesus is the first among this class of supermen. He is called the second Adam, and the Bible says we all have been born according to the similitude of the second Adam; meaning we’re like Him. This new type o...

YOU’RE THE REAL SUPERMAN!

“ But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you …”   (Acts 1:8 AMP) If you’re born again you’re a superman. God has conferred on you such powers, abilities, gifts, strength, rights, might and privileges that you can only be described as extraordinary and supernatural. It’s important you understand this to be your true identity. Sadly, most Christians don’t even know who they really are, and that’s because most have never been taught. The Christian is one with whom anything is possible, because he has received from the Spirit of God the dynamic ability to change any hopeless situation. He’s one who’s been given authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy  (Luke 10:19) . Jesus said about the new creation in  Mark 16:18 , that if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them, and when they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover. Why? Because they’re not ordin...

HEIRS OF THE ABRAHAMIC PROMISE

As a new creation, you belong to Christ; therefore you’re the seed of Abraham. Your association (union) with Christ automatically qualified you as the real descendant of Abraham, and by extension the possessor of all things, for God willed the whole world to Abraham. As the seed of Abraham, you’ve been blessed beyond measure. Failure, sickness, disease, lack and death cannot have dominion over you; you have a right and the power to vehemently reject them from your life. The good life is yours: increase, progress, success, fruitfulness, productivity and a life of glory have become your birthright because you’re the seed of Abraham: “ So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham” (Galatians 3:9). PRAYER FOR YOU I declare today that I’m the inheritor of the blessings of Abraham through my association with Christ. I’m Abraham’s seed, therefore, I’m an heir according to the promise and a joint heir with Christ. I’m blessed everywhere I go; in t...

EXPECT A MIRACLE WHEN YOU PRAY!

In our day, we cannot overemphasize the need and importance of miracles. It is the calling of every Christian to live in the realm of the supernatural. Miracles are the acts of God; He demonstrates His love and closeness to us through the supernatural manifestations in our lives. How do you explain that you pray to a God you do not see? Praying and expecting an answer reveals a desire for the miraculous. It shows the depth of a man’s desire to communicate with the supernatural. Every answered prayer is a miracle, irrespective of what is prayed about. Often times, God demonstrates His sovereignty by performing a miracle for you when you are not expecting it or when you think you don’t deserve it; He shows up on your behalf in His love for you. People pray everywhere irrespective of their religions and expect an answer because it is wrong to pray without expecting an answer. Your expectation of an answer is faith; when He answers, there is a miracle! Expect God to answer your ...

START ISSUING COMMANDS

  There comes a time when you have to take things by force. You have to stand on your healing by force. You have to stand on God’s Word by force, especially when things around you want to make it look like the Word does not work. You must command yourself to walk in the knowledge of God’s Word. I force my body to pray. I force my mind to study God’s Word. I see God’s Word for me as the final authority. When you recognize God’s Word as a commission and a command, and you stay on the Word, and pray without ceasing, then you can be in control. Your commands should be issued when you pray and speak God’s Word, not issued to other people around. Never forget this: when you command, give your commands to the devil and the circumstances you want changed. Don’t even wait till the devil tries to mess things up; start issuing your commands now!  Command in the power of the Spirit. Declare that by the stripes of Jesus you were healed. Declare that with you nothing shall be imp...

PRAYER AT 12 NOON AND 10 PM (LOCAL/GMT) FRI MAY 29TH 2015

1 Timothy 2:1-2 says: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty". For 15 mins at 12 noon and 10 pm, we'll pray fervently in tongues; also specially pray for your country and it's leaders according to the above scripture.  God bless you.

THE BIBLE WAY OF SALVATION

The acknowledgment and confession of the Lordship of Jesus Christ is the God-ordained way to receive salvation. There are many who believe that for a sinner to be saved, he must confess all his sins before God; that is not true. You don’t receive salvation by confessing your sins.  The Bible doesn’t say “if thou shall confess with thy mouth all your sins, then thou shall be saved”. Rather it says; “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…”; this is the simple way to salvation.  Believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He died for you is not enough. According to the Bible, even the devils believe and tremble, but they are not saved (James 2:9). Do you Know Jesus? Do you want to rededicate your life to God? Do you want to experience peace in your life? You too can begin a NEW LIFE with JESUS CHRIST Today. We invite you to make Jes...

YOUR TONGUE CONTROLS YOUR LIFE

“ Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof ” (Proverbs 18:21). The life you have today is the result of your tongue-work; everything you’ve been saying. Your words direct the course of your destiny, positively or otherwise; never forget that. The Bible says “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2). Your tongue is the tool by which you chart your course in life. This means you actually have the control over your life through your tongue; you can determine the quality of life you live here on earth. This is the reason you shouldn’t talk poverty, defeat, sickness or death; rather, talk prosperity, victory, success, health and life, and that’s what you’ll have in your life. Steer “your ship”—your life—in the direction of God’s destiny for you, with your tongue. Make a choice to speak the right words of faith a...

QUALIFIED FOR THE BLESSING

Do you know that we couldn’t have qualified by ourselves; but God has qualified us through His Son Jesus. What a marvel this is! The Bible says “ Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light ” (Colossians 1:12). It says, God has ‘made us meet,’ which means He has already done it; He has made us to be partakers of the inheritance. You don’t have to try to be good enough for God to bless you; there’s no need to strive and work to merit His grace and mercy, what qualifies you is your salvation; your identity in Christ, as Abraham’s seed. Hallelujah! Now you’re a partaker of all the glorious and precious promises in the Word that have come to us through Christ. Prosperity, healing and health, success, victory and everything that’s suited to the total well-being of man are now yours.

PHOTO OF US MARINE AND HIS BRIDE PRAYING BEFORE WEDDING GOES VIRAL

U.S. Marine Cpl. Caleb Earwood wanted a moment to pray with his bride-to-be Maggie before their wedding ceremony on Saturday. Now the photo of the couple holding hands in prayer has gone viral. The ceremony was about to start in Asheville, N.C., when Caleb went to the cabin where Maggie was preparing for the wedding ceremony. The couple then joined their hands around a corner to not break the tradition of the groom seeing his bride before the altar. "They hid me in a room and he stepped up on the stairwell and he stuck his hand out and I grabbed his hand," Maggie Earwood told ABC News. Caleb prayed for the couple's marriage, asking that their union be strong enough to serve as an example for young couples, as Maggie held back tears. "It broke me down," Maggie said, "to know that we felt the same way about God. It just made me happy." The incredible moment was captured by wedding photographer Dwayne Schmidt, who later uploaded it to his Facebo...

WE’RE GOD’S GLADIATORS

You know, it’s one thing to know how to read your Bible, pray every day and go to church when you should, but it’s another thing to live a victorious life. It’s one thing to be militant in your spirit but another thing entirely to understand the battle and be victorious in it. When you say, “The battle is the Lord’s,” there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s the Lord’s battle alright, but He calls you His battle axe and weapons of war (Jeremiah 51:20) . In Jericho, God didn't command us to stand still. We don’t stand still; the generation that stood still has died. Moses said to that generation, “Hey, stand still and see the salvation of God” (Exodus 14:13) – because they had the slave mentality – but remember, God’s response was an urgent “Go forward!” Now, this is not the generation with the slave mentality; this new generation has the warrior mentality. We’re God’s gladiators, and He continually urges us to go forward and launch the offensive against the enemy. In...

PASTOR CHRIS QUOTE FOR TODAY

As the seed of Abraham, you can never be disadvantaged or be defeated in life. you've been blessed beyond measure. Failure, sickness, disease, lack and death cannot have dominion over you; you have a right and the power to vehemently reject them from your life.

CARRIERS OF GOD’S KINGDOM

“… The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you ” Luke 17:20-21 If you’re born again, you have become the carrier of the Kingdom of God; the Kingdom is in you! When you arrive in a place, it means God’s Kingdom has arrived there. The world has suffered for too long from the influence of Satan's kingdom and it’s up to us now to dominate this world with the principles of God’s Kingdom. Rise up to your calling as a kingdom-carrier; don’t allow the devil run things around you.  You've  been given the highest authority in the universe to use in ruling over the devil and negative circumstances  the Name of Jesus. You can put a stop to sickness, war, death, poverty and all the other corrupting influences of the kingdom of darkness. You can super-impose peace, righteousness, love, joy, health and prosperity in your own sphere of contact. Hallelujah!

PRAYER AT 12 NOON AND 10PM (LOCAL/GMT) MON MAY 25TH 2015

Psalm 126:1 - 3 says: "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad". For 15 mins at 12 noon (Local/GMT), we'll pray fervently in the spirit, glorifying the Lord for all His wondrous works of old, and in our lives today. Thank Him specially for the answers to your petitions, and  worship Him with all your heart, for His power is over all the earth and over the affairs of men, and He's able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. Blessed be His Holy Name forever. At 10 pm, we'll pray for most of 15 mins in tongues and receive what the Holy Spirit ministers to our hearts. Also pray specially for your country. God bless you.

CONFESSION FOR YOU

I believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, so I have eternal life. The life and nature of God has supplanted my human life; as a result, I live a life that is immune to sickness, death or decay, in the name of Jesus. Amen..

HAVE A FAITH-RESPONSE TO GOD’S WORD

Add caption “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come out of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so were in their own sight” (Numbers 13:33) As Christians, our perception and response to the counsel, instructions and admonitions given to us in God’s Word is very important. To win in life, you must always respond in faith to the Word; this is living in the arena of faith, where the only thing that counts is wha t God has said. Caleb and Joshua who were sent by Moses to spy out the land did not deny the fact that there were giants in the land God promised to the children of Israel, but they were only moved by what God had said. Their response when asked to describe the land was based on faith in the Word of God. While theirs was a leap on the Word, the other ten spies gave a faithless response – an evil report. Never allow the things you perceive with your physical senses – what you see, hear or feel, determine the circu...

DECREE A THING!

“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee…” (Job 22:28) To decree a thing means to authoritatively order or instruct with the force of law. Revelation 1:6 shows us that God has made us kings and priests. And one of the characteristics peculiar to Kings is the power to decree. As God’s king-priests, we have been put into office to decree anything we want to see established in our lives and in the lives of men, for “where the word of a king is, there is power…” (Ecclesiastes 8:4). The Church wields so much power that many Christians are yet to discover. As kings, we've been called into the life of the supernatural; we have more than enough power to do whatever we want to do. All we need is to have enough knowledge of who we are and what we have in God. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” It’s your responsibility to bring to pass whatever you want to see ha...
