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 CHANGE, THE CHANGED AND THE CHANGER 4

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...

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 ...

DOING EXPLOITS: FULFILLING DESTINY 3

TEXT:  John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. MESSAGE : Since the last two devotionals, there have been various questions. But the majority of the questions centre on how exactly one can acquire the knowledge of God since reading, or studying about him doesn't necessarily result in knowing God Jesus says that knowing God is eternal life. (John 17:3). The reason is: if eternal life is in you, you have a relationship with God because of the process by which that eternal life is received. To receive eternal life you must be born again--this time, not by man but by God through faith in Jesus. "as many as received [Jesus], to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God ." (John 1:12-13). This immediately creates a Father-Son relationship between you and ...

THIS LIFE OF GOD IN YOU

YOU HAVE A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST TEXT: Gal 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himse lf for me. MESSAGE Like a very Reverend Man of God would say, "When you got born again, nothing happened to you. In the real sense, you are what happened" Oh how true! You are the miracle of the season. The Almighty God who ihabits eternity and the spirit realm has just stepped into the earth realm and into time through you!  What happened in the spirit, is that you actually died--ending the life you got from your ancestors; life that is in the blood and sustained by the blood; a life affected by ancestral covenants, curses and sin which are passed down through the bloodline. They ended on that moment of receiving Jesus into your life. Then you got born again. This time not by blood or the will of man but by the Word of God and His H...

THE LIFE OF GOD IS IN YOU

TEXT: 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. MESSAGE When I was younger, I sang and prayed "I want to live eternal life God save my soul". I prayed, oh how I prayed. I prayed fervently with strong crying and tears. Of course, I thought eternal life is the life that we'd be given when we resurrect or rapture to meet with Christ. Then and only then, I thought, one could have eternal life. Evidently, my challenge was that I didn't know what eternal life (or everlasting life) means. Eternal life is not simply a life without end or an undying life. Eternal life is the life of God. Just like plants have plant life, animals have animal life, humans have human life, so God has the divine life. This divine life has no end, thus it is refered to as eternal or everlasting. This life is not susceptible to death, decay, or wea...
