DON’T SHIFT YOUR GAZE

In the book of Numbers 21:7-9, many of the children of Israel were killed by fiery serpents that invaded their camp. Moses prayed to God for mercy and God instructed him to make a serpent of brass and set it upon a pole, and if anyone who was bitten by a fiery serpent looked upon this brazen serpent, he was healed and didn’t die. In the New Testament, Jesus likened himself to this serpent Moses lifted up on the pole in the wilderness (John 3:14). Are you sick in the body? Have you given up hope on ever being healed? God is more willing to heal you than you are willing to be healed (Acts 10:38). He’s touched with the feeling of your infirmities, but first, you have to make up your mind for something; you must accept and receive the Healer. The Giver of the gift is more important than the gift He gives. The Amplified translation of Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking away from all that will distract, to Jesus…” Look away from your problem, it could distract you. Look away from your pains;

FLOURISHING: THE UPWARD AND FORWARD LIFE!

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:12-13). There're those who say life is full of ups and downs, but I've never known the down life; I've only journeyed in one direction, upward and forward only; and there's no option to that. That's the life to which you've been called; a life of increase, progress and advancement. This year, irrespective of the prevalent economic situation in the country where you live, you can still make progress and prosper. God's greatest wish is for you to prosper and live in health (3 John 1:2). He's talking about you living in divine health and not merely getting healed. This means that He wants you to grow to a point where you are ever prosperous, where you don't need healing because you don't get sick – it's a whole new level altogether. The Bible says Is

YOU CAN BE A TRUE SUCCESS!

Getting a school degree is important, but there's more to life. There's something more important than the education you receive from the four walls of an academic institution; it's called spiritual education. For some people, having acquired an academic degree, they think that's all they need. While it's good to be formally educated, true success is of the Spirit. This accounts for the reason many of the world's intelligentsia have a life that's the complete antithesis of true success. Some people make straight "A"s in school but got a "D" in life. For example, a medical doctor who, after treating so many people, contracts a disease that has defied all medical solutions. Now, he's unable to help himself. How sad. Life is spiritual, and true success is only achievable when you apply the principles of God's Word. The Word of God guarantees your all-around prosperity; give it first place in your life. Let no one deceive you and tel

THE POWER OF MEDITATION

Meditation drives the Word into your spirit. It takes the Word from your mind into your spirit. In your mind, you can still reason out the Word of God; but when it gets to your spirit, it becomes real and personal to you. That Word may not have any scientific explanation, but you just know that it is reality, and there is nothing that can take it from you. Also, it is important to understand that meditation is what gives you “Rhema”. Rhema is the spoken Word of God. It is the “now” Word of God for your situation and you receive it by meditating on the written Word, which is “Logos”. Logos has the ability to produce results in you and to deliver an inheritance to you, but it will not make you enjoy your inheritance. The Word that changes things is rhema. With rhema, there is no condition in your body that cannot be changed. Another powerful result of meditation is that it will make you the Word! This is God’s purpose for giving you His Word, so we would become the Word. As you prac

THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDITATION

For a long time, many of God’s children equated meditation with just thinking or pondering over the Word. However meditation is much more than thinking deeply on a subject. That is just one aspect of meditation; there’s more to it revealed in God’s Word. Meditation is one of the Godly exercises that you must practice for a life of dominion and glory. It is a vital activity for every child of God, and its power cannot be overemphasized. In Joshua 1:8, the Bible says “this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate on it 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.” Three levels of meditation The word “meditation” in the verse of scripture above is translated from the Hebrew word “hagar” which means to “imagine; mutter”. It also means to “roar”. This immediately tells us that there are three levels of meditation, each

Being born again, you were born by the incorruptible Word of God. The Bible says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). So, you ought to learn how to use the Word of God. Learn to think, talk, and act as though the Word of God is true, because it is. Jesus said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). If you don’t think, talk and act as though the Word is true, what you’d have will be mere religion, and ther

In the opening scripture, we observe how the Lord Jesus agonized earnestly in prayer to the Father. The forty-fourth verse of Luke chapter twenty-two actually says, “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” It was a moment of decision for Jesus. In His prayer, He said, “…Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me….” He was referring to His imminent spiritual death, and the fact that, by that death, the Fathe

Godly conduct is profitable.

The word “godliness” above actually means piety towards God, piety to spiritual or godly activities. It means devotion. It doesn’t refer to inner righteousness or inherent holiness. It’s about the things you do, how you respond to God, and to the things of God. For instance, there’s a way you ought to behave when you come into the house of God, because church isn’t like everywhere else. It’s a place of worship. There’s an attitude of reverence you ought to have when you come to church. Godliness is about your demeanour. Your dressing matters; some piety is necessary in your dressing. There’s a decency tha

I TESTIFY; I AFFIRM, I TALK DIFFERENTLY.

My talk is my future. I always mind my language and I train myself to speak right . I'm Flourishing. I'm experiencing luxuriant growth, significant attainments, and persistent productivity. I'm in Zion, I don't say I'm sick , I live in divine health, I live in prosperity , victory success , triumph and wealth. I'm born of God , I'm a life giving spirit. I am blessed to be a blessing to my world. I speak life only, for the Words I speak are life and they are Spirit . I am a spirit in motion . Christ without limits lives and dwells in me, when I speak it's God speaking, and where I sent forth the Word it does not return to me void, but it establishes that which I have sent it to do,before it returns to the Father. The only things I speak are those things given to me by God , in the language that God has given me. Now I have received,not the spirit of the world , but the spirit which is of God;that I might know the things that are freely given

YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR MOUTH

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 8:21). Your mouth is not for talking and eating only! The Bible shows us that your mouth is what charts your course in life. You need to know that your future is in your mouth. Your prosperity, health, success, victory, progress and promotion in life are the result of what you say with your mouth. That's on the positive. In the same way, on the negative, the sickness, failure, poverty, disease, lack, frustrations and fear that people experience in their lives are the result of what they say with their mouths. Nothing happens in your life except that which you've voiced with your mouth. So, whether or not you're going to have a glorious, prosperous, victorious and successful future is dependent on what you say with your mouth today. As a child of God, you're not a loser; you've already been declared a victor. You're not one of those trying to win or

As a Christian, it’s important how you think and what you think about. You’re not of this world; therefore, you shouldn’t think like an ordinary person. Don’t say, “I’m American or I’m Australian, as a result, there’s a way I think.” No! When you’re born again, you cease to be of your earthly nativity, because your spirit is recreated. You should therefore only think the Word-way. God’s Word must form the basis for the kind of thoughts you process and allow. Now that you’re in Christ, you have a new culture: the Christ-cult

Through the Scriptures, God reveals Himself, His Kingdom, His will, nature, and character to us. In addition, He lets you know who you are through His Word. You can’t know yourself better than God does. So, whatever He says about you—His description of you in His Word—is the reality. Our lives are influenced by what we hear every day. The things you hear and give attention to control your happiness, your joy, the decisions you make, and everything about you. That’s why God wan
