HOW DO YOU PLEAD

TEXT
Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

MESSAGE
Life is like a court room.  Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:10). Challenges are symptoms of the dominion of sin. They are thus his evidence to prove to you that you are still under his dominion through sin. He knows that the christian is delivered from his authority (Col 1:12&13). So his efforts is an attempt to build a stronghold of doubt in your heart against the word of God (God's testimony) which can build you up and make you possess your possession (Acts 30:32). The devil wants you to ask, if God be for me, why am I passing through all these? If I be delivered from the powers of the devil, why are demons still oppressing me, why am I still struggling from ancestral curses and the powers of village witches? The whole issue is, whose report shall you believe? The good news of God's salvation or the devil's bad news of your challenges?

By your circumstances the devil is showing you your charge sheet. Your challenges are his evidence. The doctor's report; your depleting bank statement of account; etc is his documentary evidence. You nightmares, omens and demonic activities are the oral testimonies of his hired demonic witnesses. All these are to convince you that you are under his dominion and that the cross achieved nothing for you! All he wants to get from you is a plea of "GUILTY". You do that when you agree with the devil and voice out your circumstances

Some people don't understand this and they keep on speaking as their circumstances dictate. They think they are being sincere. No! They just sealed their misfortunes with their own words. No matter what the devil or circumstances bring your way, it is an allegation waiting for your plea. "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" (Matt. 12:37). So what is your plea? If you corroborate your feelings with your words, then you are condemned to it because you have just pleaded guilty as charged! But if you plead that you are not guilty; if against the allegation of sickness, you plead that by the stripes of Jesus you were healed, you will be justified and sickness will loss its hold.

No matter what your feelings, circumstances or experience is, look out for what God says about you and your situation. Believe it and confess it with confidence. It may not be enough just to declare the word of God once. You have to insist on what you are saying. Insisting shows that you are not guessing. It shows that you are sure. Your salvation shall manifest and shine forth if you don't give up saying God's word with confident assurance!

PRAYER
Thank you Father for your word that is able to build me up and give me my inheritance

I refuse to believe the testimony of the devil. I believe and receive God's testimony

The word of God is working in my life and destiny

The word of God prevails in my life in Jesus Name

I command the false testimonies of darkness to disappear from my life inJesus  Name

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
