SPIRIT BASED PLANNING AND STRATEGY 10 (THE MIND OF CHRIST)

Image
Once you receive the Word of God with meekness, He begins to work on your mind and take charge of your mind--thought and conscience --till they function like Christ's. Soon you'd be able to discern what the will of God is in every issue of life. Remember that some few days ago, we explained that everyone has his mind subject to some force referred to as "the spirit of your mind". For the children of disobedience (the unregenerated people) it is the spirit of the Prince of the Power of the Air. Apart from being in charge of their spirit, he was also in charge of their minds, making them to think, talk and walk as they do (Eph 2:2). When you get born again, however, this spirit is dead from your spirit. God severs that body of sin of death through a process called spiritual circumcision (Col2:11-12). However, you have to redeem your soul from its influence through the regeneration of your mind. When you were not born again, you were a slave of the devil so you ha...

THE GREATEST CONQUEROR NOW AT YOUR SERVICE 2

Image
Text Rev. 19:12-14  12  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  13  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.  14  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. MESSAGE Yesterday we found out that every child of God has the greatest conqueror of all realms (the Word of God) at his service. Someone may be saying, how do I get the word of God to work for me? Today, we'd be addressing just that. The scriptures says: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10  For with the heart man believeth un...

Text Rev. 19:12-14  12  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  13  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.  14  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. MESSAGE Beloved, let me introduce you to one awesome personality. He's the strongest being in the universe and all realms.  He's called THE WORD OF GOD. The word of God carries the power of God. In John 1:1-3 we learn that He's God and all things were made by Him. In Heb. 1:3, we are told that the word of God is that by which He sustains all things. The word of God is the captain of the host of heaven. All the angels in heaven are under His command. In Psalms 103:20 we see that the angels who excel in might hearken to the Voice of the Word of God. Can you see that the Word of Go...

FEAR NOT 3

Image
TEXT: Heb 2:15-15 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. MESSAGE Before God says to you, "fear not", he had to do something about your fear. It would amount to foolhardy to 'fear not' when the object of your fear is still so real and daunting. God tells us that the power the devil had over man was the power of death and that by which he uses it to subject man to his bondage was THE FEAR OF DEATH. Thus Jesus addressed this issue once and for all. He did not only defeat Satan, God says he destroyed him and rid him of his power! All the devil now does is to deceive people with lying wonders like symptoms, evil reports, dreams, omens, superstitions, etc. People subject themselves again to him by believing the lie and ...

FEAR NOT

TEXT: 2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. MESSAGE A past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria noted that one reason why the most populous and arguably the most endowed African country was living very far below its capacity is because there are more think tanks than there are 'do tanks'. How true is that of us today? How many brilliant plans, ideas, prophesies and revelations of yours have killed by procrastination and left embalmed in the pages of your diaries and planners? Oh: did you think that you simply manufacture that brilliant concept? Is that why you think you have the right to either implement of kill it? No! As a child of God, you have the mind of Christ (if you study God's word) and many of our concepts are Holy Spirit inspired concepts. They could revolutionalise our world and lives if only you allowed them to manifest. In all these, what do you think has been your bane all these ...

THE CHANGE, THE CHANGED AND THE CHANGER 4

Image
TEXT: Romans 1:3-4 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead MESSAGE The the manifestation of the son of God is by a divine declaration which is marked with power. Our template is the Lord Jesus and so we'd once again observe Him to understand this process. The first of the two times that God audibly declared Jesus as His son, He directed the statement to Jesus himself. He said, "Thou art my beloved Son..." (Luke 3:22) . The first person God wants to manifest His son to is the Son himself. Each christian can either trace his ancestry to God or to his earthly parents. That which you are conscious of will take precedence and determine your experiences and scope of operation. If you live your life being conscious of your earthy ancestry, circumstances and personality, you can't amount to much ...

TEXT: Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. MESSAGE: Yesterday we found out that we're the change that the world is waiting for. But take notice that the world is not just waiting for us, they await our MANIFESTATION. Unless you manifest as a Son of God, nothing will happen. In fact, you will he affected by the darkness that covers the people and Satan may continue to have a nice time in and around you. But when you begin to manifest, you can save the whole world. God says arise, shine for your light is come. The eternal life that is in you is the light of the World. According to John 1:1-5, in Him (Jesus) was life. The life is called eternal or everlasting life. This life of Go...

THE CHANGE, THE CHANGED AND THE CHANGER

TEXT: Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. MESSAGE Look around you. You see decay, right? Corruption everywhere, wickedness, evil and so on. In our country we have become so conscious of the decadence in the society that people began to cry for change. The party that took the wisdom of making their slogan "change" got the attention of the masses. People are so conscious of change but totally unconscious of the changer! They think one political leader will end corruption and put an end to decadence. While men and even Christians look to political leaders to save the world, the Truth is that the world looks to us for salvation. All of creation is expecting you my friend: They awaits your manifestation. Whenever darkness covers the earth, when things go bad, God's solution is the introduction of His sons. When God's man manifests, it cures the ills. In the beginning, when the earth was without ...
