Food for thoughts reflection to your destination and fulfillment. Better be slow and sure than fast and fall.
Stay in your lane when you are inferior and the original comes you will be intimidated.
Do not compete but complete. Do not strive or get into strife or trouble arises. To struggle be in debt is not worth the stress. Be contend and wait on God's timing. The road that leads nowhere is compete and compare. Just run your own race. Proverbs 28 v 19; He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of silver and he that follow after vain person shall have poverty enough. How does poverty come? What's a poverty spirit?
(1) poverty by inheritance, (2) poverty by ignorance, (3) poverty by association, ( 4 ) poverty by folly and sore need of wisdom or living beyond your means faith level. ( 5 ) Poverty by lack of a good heart in giving. A good heart is a giving heart. Do not be greedy and lazy. A good man brings out of his heart good what is in your heart and mind ?
A generous men is a prosperous man. Let your heart and seed that you sow speak on your behalf and God speak for you. Give because you love God not manipulate but you express your love for God by giving the best as he leads. Complete faith that is real faith doesn't doubt or question God in your heart. The measure you give is the measure you will receive. ( 6 ) Stingy people die poor in heart soul and physically. It is certain as we brought nothing into this world we also be sure we leave this world so what are we living for and where do we place our trust. What shall a man gain if he gains the whole world but looses his soul. What is more precious than the gold the land the wealth but Faith that is tried purer than gold real faith that causes the devil to tremble mountains to be moved. Demons to be cast out, blind to see, deaf to hear, the dead raised and real pure faith money cannot purchase, alone worth more than the weight of gold or diamond.
( 7 ) Poverty and divinity cannot dwell together within - Poverty is decline in any dimension of life when God created the world He provided everything in plenty and abundance not lack. The key to unlock divine overflow is giving heart to overcome the spirit of poverty, lack decline never enough. Poverty because of attitude and lack of vision purpose perseverance or negativity thinking. Before Roger banister the 4 minute mile was an impossibility they say medically by the so called experts. Roger banister was born with a disease that would incapacitate him for life as diagnosed with another person both were pronounced they were doomed to die just a matter of time because of a disease that has no cure as none has survived who had that disease virus.
He didn't come from a rich but poor family and in natural he couldn't afford to go to university in the natural but he determined to overcome train and win a sports scholarship and got into St Mary university top medical school study medicine neuro science. Through hard work he overcome entered Olympics didn't win gold but silver but persevere aim higher believed he will excel his dream to greater heights which he went on to achieved despite odds.
It was not a perfect day when he ran as the weather was cold, wind strong but he went into the race and did the impossible making it possible. Faith real faith is so vital today as a seed to break poverty and see God's grace goodness and blessings. We must pay the price sacrifice sometimes to release the prize believer practice this principle and see blessings. 2 Kings 4; may wealth greatness blessings flow
as we rise to higher ground over above beggarly elements attitudes.
Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you.
Why Samson failed?
He had charisma but lack character.
He was betrayed and rejected by his own family, friends and people.
He lost his focus and vision.
He was not careful and careless taking things too lightly.
He was exhausted and had depleted his strength.
He struggled with lust that entered through hurt and rejection.
He was full of self contentedness and glory.
But thank God his hair began to grow and strength returned and vision renewed and he killed more when he died and prayed. Be restored be renewed refresh with a renewed vision and strength.
By Rev Dr Alfred Ee.
The word comes to instruct us, empowers us and impacts us. Expect to be Enlighten, Empowered and Impacted by the word.
You can generate the glory, stir up the gift of God;
Luke 3 v21, Luke 9 v 28 -29 by prayers.
2 Corinthians 3v 18; Revelation releases the glory. James 1 v25; God’s word is a mirror;
Isaiah 60 v 1, Luke 4 v 40, Isaiah 58; prayer and fasting generated the glory. The brighter the light the greater the glory.
Ex 33 v 18 ; Moses asked God to show him the glory. Hebrews 11v 27; Faith can be defined as operating with the consciousness of the invisible at work daring the undarable thereby accomplishing the impossible that is faith. What audacity Moses dared ask pharaoh to let the people go. God with you is the strongest defense in battle. Exodus 3 v16; when God appears and speaks it is to establish His presence with you, so you don’t have to fight the battle alone. The consciousness of the invisible God at work is your guarantee of victory and God will show up.
2 Chronicles 20 v 24 ; Every torment must end today. Faith is active partnership with the invisible empowering you to do the impossible; Daniel 3 v 17 example. He had assurance of the invisible God in partners with them. They choose not to defile themselves with the king's food ;
Daniel 3 v 28;
Danielv6 v22. Faith is a spiritual medium where you engage with God in an active partnership with God. Faith is a Spiritual converter turning darkness to light the natural to the supernatural, the terrestrial to the celestial , from sickness to health; defeat to victory. 1 John 5 v4 ; Faith converts sickness to health, darkness to light.
Sacrifice unlocks divine provision. You are waiting for your miracle, but Your miracle is waiting on your sacrifice. What you lay down God raises up. Genesis 24 v 24;
Genesis 22 ; Your miracle is in the womb of your giving. Every true altar speaks on the language of the altar so understand the power of sacrifice. Sacrifice is the language in the spirit realm. Sacrifice unlocks divine provision; Genesis 22 v 13 – 14. Sacrifice. The altar is the womb for your next season. Sacrifice breaks bareness and delays. Hanna gave Samuel her only child and God gave her 5 more Sacrifice provokes divine attention;
Acts 10 v 3-4; Sacrifice has a memory in the heavens. God remembers when others forget.
Prayers ad alms has come up as a memorial to God. Sacrifice shifts generation. Genesis 8 v 20-22; what you sow today is the bridge to your future legacy It will speak for yet to a generation unborn. Sacrifice stops plagues and judgements;
2 Samuel 24 v 24-25. Sacrifice is not just giving It is spiritual warfare. It can break curses. Sacrifice resurrects what looks dead; John 12 v 24. What you give God doesn't die, what you sow at the altar comes back resurrected multiplied glorified. Faith is related to sacrifices.
Let not your condition be the conclusion nor the end of the day the end of the journey. The end of the road is not necessary the end as there will be a bend at the end. Expect the unexpected for He is a Miracle Supernatural working God of wonders, mighty to save. Resolve to think believe in the almighty God the God of miracles creativity. You have to be abnormal to be normal sometimes and do the ridiculous to see the miraculous. To deal with the madness and mad person you have sometimes to be more than normal and mad with the madness be it poverty, sickness and attacks of the devil. We have to be violent and be brutal when dealing with evil and the enemy the devils wickedness or evil. Rejoice not over me oh my enemy when i fall I will rise, when i seat in darkness God will be my light. You are a prisoner of hope and by the blood covenant you shall be delivered from the water less pit,
Zechariah 9 v 10 -12. Return to the stronghold of hope in Christ the hope of glory the glory and lifter of our head. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Speak the language of God not situations or your circumstances, you are a mighty men of God, Gideon and God is with you, Judges 6.
What you are called for is related to what he has endowed you in ability talents and skill. He graced you accordingly.
Cycles, Seasons and Times: David first cycled as a teen watching the sheep. Then cycled as a giant killer but then as a cave dweller running for his life.
Then the season changed:.. He became king because it was "time" which was connected to the birth of Christ. In each event in David's life, he had failure but always had a victory that put him over. Be encouraged, cycles change, seasons change and your time always comes! Adapted Ginger, Eccle 9.
*BALANCE*
1. *Noah* built the *ark* by faith but he used measurements. There is a place for rational thinking in our walk of faith. Not all decisions should be made with blind hope!
2. *Sarah's pregnancy* was a miracle, but it took nine months just like any other. God's plans do not negate the importance of process. Sometime you need to wait or work it out.
3. The *stone* that killed *Goliath* might have been anointed, but *David's skill* was also involved. Developing skills does not mean you are not anointed. If you play a piano, play it to the fullest. Don't take us through the agony of listening to your cacophony in the name of "singing to the Lord". Skills are important. There is nothing rude with telling that sister "you can't sing, find something else to do in the house of God".
4. *Esther* received favor to become *queen*, but she also bathed and prepared her appearance. Preparation is key to become fit for the occasion.
Get knowledge, go to school. Stop blaming auto-correct, check your spelling even here on social media. Prepare, because some of us expect nothing but the best from you!
5. The *promised land* was full of milk and honey, but they also had to plow, feed cattle, and take care of sheep. Miracles are communication tools that God uses to instill trust, faith and the knowledge of his nature. You need to work, don't expect miracles in a specific area of life all the time. No one pays rent for a full year with miracle money. We need it, we want it, but God wants what is permanent.
6. *God* is the one who *created human capacity* to memorize things, yet he also told many prophets to write their message. Spirituality does not mean we should not use tools to package the message.
7. *Ruth* received favor to marry *Boaz*, but the coaching of Naomi was necessary. Human coaching is necessary, you need to submit and learn from someone. It will spare you from silly mistakes.
8. *Moses* could hear directly from God, but he was wearing himself out with work, it was the wisdom of his father in law that saved him from dying a premature death with exhaustion. It is wisdom to put on a seat belt, brush teeth, and adhere to medical advise. Being spiritual does not mean asking angels to cook food for you!
9. *Namaan* was a mighty soldier and a friend of Kings, but he acted as influenced by a Jewish maiden. Even important people are influenced by "insignificant "people. The key thing is proximity that generates influence.
Mishandling of the natural world can cause hinderance to progress, and a total neglect of the spiritual world will definitely cause total failure in all areas of life.
*Balance is the key.*
Depending on the size of your assignment God provides for you;
Exodus 16 v14-15.
Philippians 4v 15-19 According to the size of your assignment God prospers you so rest in Him and His provision. You can depend on Him; Joshua 5 verse 12 God provided for them for 40 year. How faithful a God He is.
Its transition time Your supernatural provision is now on the way Go out and get it.
Deut 11v 9-10, numbers 14 v 9-10 Satans attack is only indication how valuable you are and that you have high value because of your assignment and the blessing on the other side God can provide for you Believe it. 2 Cor 9 v10 and is ready to multiply increase and prosper you and the seed that you sow.
Sow generously and reap today. This is todays reflection and as you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land. God wants you to be blessed.
Many people have lost and some are losing their miracles to the crowd.
This season, mercy will cause God to single you out for a blessing. In the midst of thousands or millions competing for a unique opportunity, God will single you out. You shall be singled out for promotion. You shall be singled out for uncommon favor. You shall be singled out for unprecedented breakthrough this season in Jesus' name.
When the world thinks it is finished with you, God says I’m just beginning with you.
At your point of emptiness and helplessness, God appears and fill you to the brim with contagious hope.
Instead of being dejected when rejected, rejoice and turn your rejection into your distinction!
The God that turn the rejected stone of the builders into the chief cornerstone on which the whole building rested after completions shall surely, surely surely turn that your unpalatable situation into a glorious and sweet testimonial in Jesus’ name.
Every door of appointment shut against my face, hear the verdict of God, 7 new doors of divine appointments shall burst open for me in the name of Jesus.
By the power that turn the builders’ rejected stone to the chief cornerstone and pillar of the whole building, O God Arise and let all my disappointments be converted to divine appointments in Jesus' name.
Every rejection I have suffered in the past, shall be converted to my distinction in this season in the name of Jesus.
My Father, open the windows of heaven and pour upon me Your rain of abundance and honour to wash away my lack and disgrace in the name of Jesus.
Every peer-rejection and reproach mocking me at the edge of my breakthrough, be reversed and turn-around to praise God in my life in Jesus' name.
God bless your bread and your water. You shall enjoy sweatless success and all round success in the name of Jesus. Amen.
I decree that no evil shall befall you and your entire household, no sicknesses shall come near our place of abode. No evildoer shall know your dwelling, the Lord will guide and guard you. This year shall end joyously for you, your blessings will be uncountable in Jesus' name. Amen.
Awesome God, You have not created me for nothing, You have created me to do certain definite services and You have committed into my hands some assignments which You have not committed to anyone else. Lord, restore my wasted years, my wasted season, my wasted efforts, money, health, strength and blessings. Therefore, I shall do good. I shall become the evidence of your wonders on earth.
I shall commit to do Your work. The anointing of God upon my life shall give me favour in the eyes of God and men and women all the days of my life. I shall not labour in vain. I shall walk every day in victory and liberty of the spirit because of the extension of grace for miracles on my life.
I receive the mouth and the wisdom which my adversaries are not able to resist in Jesus' powerful name I pray, Amen.
Every failure that painted my life ugly and unfavourable, be converted by fire into irreproachable success in the name of Jesus.
Every power slandering my glory and reputation your time is up: carry your evil load and die in shame of your evil slander in Jesus'' name. Amen.
By the power that catapulted Esther the poor orphan into Esther the Queen of Persia, O God Arise and promote me with Your favours in Jesus' name. Amen.
By the power that catapulted Joseph from prison to the palace of Pharaoh in Egypt, O God Arise and crown my destiny this season in Jesus' name.
By the power that promoted Daniel from persecution in the Lion’s den to the presidency of Babylon, O God Arise and enthrone me with your distinction in the name of Jesus.
I SEAL ALL YOUR PRAYERS WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. 🙏

Study Bible Book ◦ Chapter
He wraps Himself in light as with a garment;
This phrase emphasizes God's majesty and purity. Light in the Bible often symbolizes holiness, truth, and the divine presence (1 John 1:5). The imagery of God clothing Himself in light suggests His unapproachable holiness and glory, reminiscent of the transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:2) where His face shone like the sun. The idea of God being wrapped in light also connects to the creation narrative, where God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3), indicating His sovereign power over creation. In the ancient Near Eastern context, light was often associated with divine beings, setting God apart as the ultimate source of light and life. This imagery can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is described as the "light of the world" (John 8:12), bringing spiritual illumination and salvation.
He stretches out the heavens like a tent,
This phrase reflects God's creative power and sovereignty over the universe. The imagery of stretching out the heavens like a tent suggests the vastness and order of creation, akin to the ancient practice of setting up a tent, which was a common activity in nomadic cultures. This metaphor is also found in other scriptures, such as Isaiah 40:22, emphasizing God's authority and the ease with which He governs the cosmos. The heavens, in biblical terms, often refer to the sky and the celestial realm, highlighting God's transcendence and immanence. This phrase can also be seen as a foreshadowing of the new creation, where God will establish a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1), demonstrating His ongoing creative work and ultimate plan for redemption.
Persons / Places / Events
1. God (Yahweh)
The central figure in this verse, depicted as majestic and sovereign, clothing Himself in light and stretching out the heavens.
2. Heavens
The expanse of the sky and universe, symbolizing God's creative power and authority over creation.
Teaching Points
God's Majesty and Sovereignty
The imagery of God wrapping Himself in light and stretching out the heavens highlights His majesty and sovereign power over all creation.
The Symbolism of Light
Light symbolizes purity, holiness, and revelation. As God wraps Himself in light, it signifies His perfect holiness and the revelation of His character to humanity.
Creation as a Reflection of God's Glory
The heavens, stretched out like a tent, reflect God's creative power and glory. Observing creation can lead us to worship and acknowledge God's greatness.
How does “stretching out the heavens like a tent” (Psalm 104:2) align with modern cosmological understanding?
What does the Nicene Creed state?
Why does biblical cosmology describe a solid dome (firmament) over the Earth?
If God “rode upon a cherub” (Psalm 18:10), how does this align with the notion of a formless, omnipresent deity in other biblical passages?
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(2) Who coverest.--Perhaps better with the participles of the original retained:
Putting on light as a robe;
Spreading the heavens as a curtain.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 2. - Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment. Light was the first thing created (Genesis 1:3), before either the heaven (Genesis 1:6-8) or the earth (Genesis 1:9, 10). In light God, the invisible, as it were, enshrouds himself, making it the image of his hidden glory. Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; or, "a canopy" (comp. Isaiah 40:22; Isaiah 42:5; Isaiah 44:25). The metaphor is taken from the stretching out or "spreading out" of a tent (see Isaiah 40:22).

One of the hardest thing I had to do was to let go of taking charge of things; many things and let GOD be in-charge. Surrendering is easier said than done. It took me awhile to let go totally and watch GOD do His work. Eventually I could do it and found it much easier to surrender to the Only One who actually knows what He’s doing. None of us know what we are doing. We do things in hopes of a desired result. When that is not achieved, frustration, disappointment and anger will follow. But when we let GOD take over, the results are always in our favour. Whether we get what we hoped for or not, it is always in our favour because GOD knows the beginning and the end. When we say we are done, GOD begins. When GOD begins, He will bring His Good work to completion. Trust in the LORD JESUS with all your heart. He never fails and He never disappoints. Praise GOD! JESUS is The Way. Good morning. Have a Blessed day. GOD’s Love and Peace be with you.

why Samson failed He had charisma but lack character
He was betrayed and rejected by his own family friends and people
He lost his focus and vision
He was not careful and careless taking things too lightly
He was exhausted and had depleted his strength
He struggled with lust that entered through hurt n rejection
He was full of self contentedness n glory
But thank God his hair began to grow n strength returned and vision renewed and he killed more when he died and prayed Be restored be renewed refresh with a renewed vision n strength By Rev Dr Alfred Ee
Into The Year 2025.
When the clock strikes
The twelfth time at midnight
We're already into 2025
Another year has swiftly flown by;
Thank God we are alive
Not forgetting we're still in the line
Wait not for gifts from the sky
But, start to strive for what we like;
Walk gracefully into the twilight
Live our remaining time
Making our dreams come alive
To keep intact our pride;
We don't have to fly high
Nor try to touch the sky
Just finish what's on our mind
And not to be left behind;
Our lifeboats would subside
If there's a leak in any side
Like it or not we've to abide
Argue no more on who's right;
Tired not ourselves in fights
Just walk the extra mile
When there's a willing mind
All would soon be nice;
Search and find
For that piece of our mind
Which prevents us to be kind
Unlock, unleash and untie;
I wish for you not the sky
Nor you could fly
But, the zeal to build a life
Like you're in paradise.
Have A Nice Blessed Year Ahead 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What is the mission of your life and what are you living for is a vital question in life . When you are in your 50 s and you are still wandering what is your assignment or not secure settled or established yourself a crisis results. When you are young you live like there is no tomorrow and forever. You can do a lot of things but what is your true real destiny and mission of life and it can leave you trapped depressed and thus a crisis arise What
we call mid life crisis or identity crisis is determined if you have a mission in life from God that makes a difference and causes transformation. Find your mission early if possible and life a fulfilled life satisfied not ruined your future. A man or women with a mission outlast any trials afflictions and will never quit or loose hope in life. How do we fulfill life's mission? John the baptist had a mission and made a difference fulfilled it transformed his world and died a martyred yet fulfilled his destiny unexpectedly in a most unusual manner but triumph. He was filled with the holy spirit from his mothers womb and prepared the way for the Messiah , ran his race in life Luke 1 v 76. There are 3 stages of maturing into our mission Infant or child,than young man and Fathers. The devil seeks to pollute you and hinder abort or distort the mission. It is vital like John to grow into the mission be strong to set aside a time of solitude to seek God and be strengthen in spirit , receive wisdom and run the race so to fulfill the mission of life. It is in crisis we go into the desert John 1 v 22 and know our mission. We must know who we are and our mission according to the word so we will live out our mission in life why we really live long term. Do the one thing that is your mission (purpose ) not a thousand things that is good only. Most people panic at 50 and some commit suicide and are confused when it dawn to them they are trapped and as result a crisis develops and its dangerous because the person looses focus and his mission in life.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20”
You have the opportunity to let the light in. You can answer JESUS knock, open the door, and experience real relationship with Him.
Movement of GOD is happening upon the earth today. He's bringing people from a place of religion to relationship.
It starts with us letting the light in, so the King of glory can shine through us.
Letting JESUS into our life and allowing Him to lead it will be the greatest thing anyone can do. His light shines through on any darkness; fears, anxieties and worries. His light brings peace and calms the storms within us. JESUS is indeed The Way, The Truth and The Life.
Truth before time seems like a lie .How can a virgin give birth but time one day caught up with truth for Gods word is eternal and what He says comes to pass ,you can trust as time catches up with the truth as what God say s comes to pass Gen 1 v 26-27 ,You are made in the image of God.Prov 16 v 15,mathew 11 v 12 Watch against complacency passivity fear pride and lack of commitment,negativism limitation or stagnation , in spirit .
Gen 2 v 7 God make or creates man in gen 1 and God formed man in genesis 2.God is spirit and we are spirit beings like God. His word is life and spirit .the word and spirit creates .God gives us dominion in the spirit .
You are a spirit being ,you have a soul and live in the body ( 1 Thessalonians 5 v 23) .That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of spirit is spirit ,We contact the mental world with our intellect, mental world with our mind, and there is a spirit men .The word of God in you enable you to see in the spirit.
.The new man is the man in Christ the spirit men . The word rightly divide between the spirit and soul .The nature, the life, the love, Zoe life is in us when we are born again and God speaks through our inner men or spirit. The spirit of man is the candle or lamp of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.Proverbs 20 v 27,23 ;Phil 1 v 22-24 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

o often in the Bible the Holy Spirit is associated with fire. This was so concerning John the Baptist. Luke 3:16, "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I cometh, the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." The Holy Spirit was likened unto fire at Pentecost. Acts 2:3, "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them." The cleansing power of the Holy Spirit was symbolized by fire in Isaiah 6:6,7, "Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."
We find that His ministers are made a flame of fire. Hebrews 1:7, "And the angels He saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire." The Word of God was as fire in the bones of Jeremiah. Jeremiah 20:99, "Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more of His name. But His Word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forebearing, and I could not stay." David said that while he was musing, the fire burned. Psalm 39:3, "My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue."
Obviously then, the Holy Spirit appears by fire. When God accepted a sacrifice, He showed His pleasure by sending fire to consume the sacrifice. I Chronicles 21:26, "And David built there and altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt-offering and peach-offerings, and called upon the Lord; and He answered him from Heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering." This is what happened to Cain and Abel. They knew that God accepted Abel's sacrifice because He consume it by fire. This why Elijah prayed for fire to consume the sacrifice on Mt. Carmel. This is no doubt the way that God showed His acceptance of the sacrifice on the day of atonement.
There was another fire in the Bible. This fire was provided by God. Leviticus 6:12, "And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offering." It was the fire upon the altar in the courtyard of the tabernacle. It was always to burn. Leviticus 6:13, "The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out."
Coals from this fire were taken to the altar of incense. Leviticus 16:12, 13, "And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vial: and he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not." The altar of incense was the last piece of furniture in the tabernacle before entering though the veil to the holy of holies. This incense sending its fragrance heavenward was a beautiful symbol of the prayer life of the child of God. Notice that this symbol of prayer must come from the burning coals of the altar where the lamb was slain. God is telling us that there is no way to come to Himself, even in prayer, unless we come through the Lamb of God, even Jesus, Who shed His blood for our sins.
There were two men in the Bible, Nadab and Abihu, who offered other fire on the altar of incense. Leviticus 10:1,2, "And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took strange fire as offering and was rejected .Because it is the Holy Spirit Who has been rejected by this age, He will be given the executioner's role in the tribulation period. So many of the judgments are made by fire. For example, look at Revelation 8:1-6, "And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven about the space of half and hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censor, and filled it with fire and the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightenings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound." Notice in the following verses that one third of the trees will be burned with fire. All green grass will be burned with fire. There is a mountain burning with fire. There is a burning fire that makes one-third of the water bitter. One-third of the sun is darkened.
Then it is perfectly Scriptural to speak of one who is filled with the Holy Spirit as being "on fire for God." It certainly was in order when the Emmaus disciples spoke of their hearts burning when Jesus spoke with them. Luke 24:32, "And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?" John Wesley used to say, "I just set myself on fire and folks come to watch me as I burn."
Fire is chosen to symbolize the Holy Spirit, no doubt, because of what it does. Fire burns out the dross. Fire gives light. Fire gives warmth. Oh, to be on fire for God! May the fire fall for us as it did in Elijah's day! May people who hear us have burning hearts! May we be baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire! May the Word of God burn in our hearts like unto fire!.The Bible describes God as “a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29), so it is not surprising that fire often appears as a symbol of God’s presence. Examples include the burning bush (Exodus 3:2), the Shekinah glory (Exodus 14:19; Numbers 9:14-15), and Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 1:4). Fire has many times been an instrument of God’s judgment (Numbers 11:1, 3; 2 Kings 1:10, 12) and a sign of His power (Judges 13:20; 1 Kings 18:38).
For obvious reasons, fire was important for the Old Testament sacrifices. The fire on the altar of burnt offering was a divine gift, having been lit originally by God Himself (Leviticus 9:24). God charged the priests with keeping His fire lit (Leviticus 6:13) and made it clear that fire from any other source was unacceptable (Leviticus 10:1-2).
In the New Testament, the altar can serve as a picture of our commitment to the Lord. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called upon to offer our bodies as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1), engulfed by the divine gift: the inextinguishable fire of the Holy Spirit. At the very beginning of the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is associated with fire. John the Baptist predicts that Jesus will be the One to “baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (Matthew 3:11). When the Holy Spirit began His ministry of indwelling the early church, He chose to appear as “tongues of fire” resting on each of the believers. At that moment, “all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:3-4).
Fire is a wonderful picture of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is like a fire in at least three ways: He brings God’s presence, God’s passion, and God’s purity. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God as He indwells the heart of the believer (Romans 8:9). In the Old Testament, God showed His presence to the Israelites by overspreading the tabernacle with fire (Numbers 9:14-15). This fiery presence provided light and guidance (Numbers 9:17-23). In the New Testament, God guides and comforts His children with the Holy Spirit dwelling in our bodies—the “tabernacle” and the “temple of the living God” (2 Corinthians 5:1; 6:16).
The Holy Spirit creates the passion of God in our hearts. After the two traveling disciples talk with the resurrected Jesus, they describe their hearts as “burning within us” (Luke 24:32). After the apostles receive the Spirit at Pentecost, they have a passion that lasts a lifetime and impels them to speak the word of God boldly (Acts 4:31).
The Holy Spirit produces the purity of God in our lives. God’s purpose is to purify us (Titus 2:14), and the Spirit is the agent of our sanctification (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2). As the silversmith uses fire to purge the dross from the precious metal, so God uses the Spirit to remove our sin from us (Psalm 66:10; Proverbs 17:3). His fire cleanses and refines.

Thought For Your Day
The Power Of The Cross
(2 Corinthians 5:21)
Here’s my simple ‘Good Friday’ message for you: *“Never underestimate the power of the Cross!”*
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because He was a wicked criminal.
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because things got out of control.
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because the Romans overpowered Him.
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because the Jewish authorities outsmarted Him.
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because He was clueless and naive.
Jesus did NOT die on the cross because He totally misread the situation.
Most of all, Jesus did NOT die on the cross because God played Him out.
Here’s WHY Jesus died on the cross.
In 2 Corinthians 5:21, Paul writes, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
This is an amazing and profound verse. Our sins for His righteousness. It has been called ‘the Divine Exchange’.
Some have asked, “Why is it called ‘Good’ Friday, when it was the day that Jesus died?”
So, here’s the WHY. The Cross is God’s Masterplan for the total (and eternal) redemption of fallen humanity. It provides the ONLY way for sinful Man to be reconciled with the Holy God Almighty! The Cross of Jesus’ sacrificial death brings Eternal Life!
Never underestimate the power of the Cross!
Good Friday is thus all about the finished work of Christ on the cross - to reconcile fallen humanity to God - through what theologians call the ‘imputed righteousness’ through faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It’s once and for all! As Jesus declared, “It is finished!”
Never underestimate the power of the Cross!
It stems from the *Eternal Love* of the *Eternal God*, who gave us the *Eternal Gift* of His *Eternal Son* - _that by His eternally-valid sacrifice on the cross_, would secure an *Eternal Salvation* for everyone who believes in Him! In Him, we have newness of life!
Never underestimate the power of the Cross!
Now, get this. Jesus did NOT die on the Cross to redeem us unto a miserable and DEFEATED LIFE.
Rather, Jesus redeemed us to have a VICTORIOUS LIFE - in Him, through Him and for Him! A newness of LIFE! That’s the power of the cross!
Yes, NEVER underestimate the power of the Cross!
Have a meaningful Good Friday - and a blessed pilgrimage ahead!

I dedicate myself this day to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

You cannot go to the future by living in the past, You cannot change the past but you can create a new future .Do not let the past keep you from your future.Release the past and move forward in life .Purpose gives life meaning ,complete your assignment in life and do not waste your life and time .Find your purpose and maximize your Time.Your future is inside of you waiting to be realized and released In Gods Time.The value of life isn't its duration but your donation and impact .Its not how long you live necessary but how well you live in and to accomplish your purpose in life.This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it.Close the past regrets the failures or success and move forward to do much more.
The riches places in this world is not Switzerland, London or the gold mines but is in you and me and that which is buried in the grave of unused potential .The bible says David at ziglag at the lowest point of his life what he did. Sometimes when all else fails and our expectations of people, friends associates and those close to you fail you it can come crashing down like a tsunami that overwhelms your life with darkness and can become depressed hopeless what will you do? David didnt focusing on the negative of what went wrong or the failed expectations. He didnt allow people to look down on him, desert him, betray him, treat him and effect him. Greatness is within you whether the people believe in your dream or not or dissapointed with you and quit or reject you. Sometimes people close to you think you are a dreamer and your dream is far fetched and idle talk, illusion, impossible, unrealistic and want you to give up. David in spite of disaster continued to believe in his dream. What is your dream but it doesn't go the way you think. It may require perseverance. The people who succeed failed several times but they rose again so what is the difference. Failure is part of success. One chapter that didnt turned out right or low point may be the beginning and become the prelude of a better chapter or new book. Never never give up even after you tried and failed for you will make it. When people dont believe in your dream like David when all hope seemed lost he encouraged himself in the Lord. The strength to the fulfillment of your destiny is You and strengthen yourself and putting your faith in the strengthening of yourself or inner man. Success is competing only with yourself. Control your emotion, control your mind, control your heart and guard against fear ,negativity, futility for the God of all hope will fill your heart with peace joy and power so never loose hold of your dream and say I am going to move to another level in my life for there is more .Reach out for more dont stress for life is a journey. Dont let discouragement and feelings rule but be strong in the Lord and the power of His might for God believes in you. God is the strength of your life. The fiercest hardest battle is given to the toughest strongest soldiers so never waver or faint. He is your strong salvation and strength. God says you are more than a conqueror. David did not allow discouragement futility to envelop him but was determined persevered and strengthened himself and encouraged himself. Take care of yourself. Your own people may not believe in you at all anymore. The more David pursued his dream for at the end the people who rejected him dissapointed him left desert him at the end of the day needed him lost faith but David held on to faith.

12. Your Personal Petitions. (Phil 4:6)
13. In Jesus' name I pray. (John 15:16)
14.Thank you Father for answered prayers. (1 Thes 5:18).
What is prayer and why pray Prayer is the highest ministry and a continuous one as Jesus himself is at this moment in heaven making intercessions for the saints according to the word. Hebrews 7 v 25 Intercessions is the present ministry still of the Master so it should also be our focus and ministry.
Luke 18 v1-8 Acts 12 Mathew 21 v 21-22 What God is seeking or looking for on earth before he comes again May we learn to pray the prayer of faith. Everyone will pray when they are cornered or in trouble or facing a crisis of life of some sort when there is no possible human answer to their predicament
Jesus' bean His ministry only after 40 days (about 1 and a half months) of prayers and fasting and we see that amid a heavy itinerary He would many times draw aside to pray and seek divine direction strength or grace in His ministry. Prayer prepares you for what is ahead of you and future events
Every major event, major decision was bathed with time spent in prayer Prayer time is not wasted time but investing. There are times when prayer is a joy a delight, but it must first be a discipline and sometimes is a Laboure and wrestling to stand in the gap and touch God.
The present Ministry according to the book of Hebrews of Jesus is pray Have you ever wondered what Jesus is doing at present in Heaven,
A Praful believer is a strong believer and a pray less one is as good as dead with little effectiveness Are we praying or playing. Pray or be preyed The Christian life if not fun fare but warfare not a playground but a battleground.
Prayer brings repentance Psalm24Who shall ascend unto the hill of God He who has clean hands, and a pure heart Prayer is ascending Prayer is uphill upward toward forward ever backwards never. We must live in right relationship fellowship with God ourselves and man.How can you love God you cannot see and not love your brother you can see. Do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and ignore the log in your own eyes. Is there compromise and disappointments We are all human and have made mistakes or failed in the course of life and we must come for cleansing repentance for our lack of diligence, shortcomings, faults, and weaknesses. We can see why prayer and repentance go hand in hand. The Psalmist says search me O Lord and see if there be some wickedness in me (This is not morbid introspection but an honest evaluation or self-reflection examination to see if we be in faith fellowship or flesh. When we pray, we are able to see ourselves as God sees us and we are repentant humble always because of our sins and wrong doings. If we are in grace, we will not be disgraced.
Prayer breaks down our self-ego and stubbornness. WE learn to trust God and not our finite minds. Man is a very self-sufficient being and have the tendency to live a self-centered life instead of God centered life depending on, relying in God than self. The bible says rich man's wealth is his strong city. Why is it sometimes so hard for some to reach out to God grace and supernatural miracles They have no real need as they have everything already, so they think until an incurable sickness or death knocks and all the wealth power of man is futile than weak who is Lord and in control of our lives Have we depended on the arm of flesh lived self-centered lives or God centered control life what power are we relying on and operating in How do we access this power but through prayer .what shall a man gain if he gains the whole world but loose his soul .Romans 12 v 1-2 In order to have a closer walk with God we must humble ourselves and surrender our will to God in prayer .Naaman had a stubborn will a proud mind but he had to surrender it before receiving his Miracle All his power wealth and the worlds glory had to die before he was healed .Prayer makes us desire to accept Gods will .In Life there are so many distractions of the flesh or strongholds and they must be broken if we want to fellowship with God and learn to depend rely on His Grace to develop and so increase our faith or fellowship with God .We must learn to wait on God We are so much in a hurry looking for quick fixes but not paying the price yet want the prize .Isaiah 40 says they that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength and will mount up with wings like the eagle (rise higher grow deeper greater ) they shall walk and faint not run and not be weary .Yonggi Cho says in Korea he prays ,waits on the lord for 1-2 hours and he gets the release but in Japan he prays for3to5hours to get the same release or breakthrough .In the book of Acts we see that the early Church had an hour of pray daily .
Prayer can overcome any crisis be it personal or national During World War Two 300000 British soldiers were surrounded or encircled at a small village town in France facing a very menacing highly mechanized German force It was a mismatch and perilous situation as there would have been a great catastrophe and slaughter of the British troop who were outgunned outsmart outnumbered .President Winston Churchill the Prime Minister called for a nationwide day of prayer and fasting at Westminster so in the factories people prayed .Strangely and suddenly the weather changed as the heavens open up with torrential rain that halted the tanks of the Germans from advancing and a thick fog never seen before out of nowhere covered and shrouded the British side enabling the British army to evade detection enabling them to Slips pass undetected through enemy line saving the lives of 300000 men (about half the population of Wyoming)unharmed .There is no humane reason for such a thing to happen but prayer wrought the miracle and victory .
Prayer releases the Holy spirit 1Peter 4 v 7 The Bible reminds us that the end of all things is at hand and that is every reason we must be sober and vigilant in prayer. Gods desire or will is that we be filled with the Holy Spirit not asleep in a slumber insensitive or empty. (Ephesians 5 v18) We see that the disciples after the crucifixion was worn out shaken crushed in fear hiding uncertain wondering is it the end, what's happening, aimless weak feeling like failures worthless but after the resurrection when the Holy Spirit was outpoured and they were filled with the Holy Spirit as they waited in prayer came upon them they were transformed changed become filled with boldness with the power of Gods Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit anoints us to set the captives free open prison doors heal the sick and work miracles .United prayer and the prayer of faith will cause the Holy Spirit to move to come down outpoured and bless. Through prayer Gods kingdom is extended expanded and established. God wants to strengthen us in the inner man, and we need the mighty river of the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
Jeremiah 33 v3 We see that God always intervenes and answers, prayers, ask, it shall be given seek and you will find knock and it shall be open and you have not because you ask with wrong motives James4 v2, John 14v3.
What is prayer, Prayer is not overcoming Gods reluctance to give but laying hold of Gods promise of what is already yours in the word.
Why pray you may say Why not I say when God promises us so many blessings in prayer and what a lost when we do not pray, what peace what joy is forfeited because we forget to pray Prayer is often called the hidden ministry, but your reward is great as God sees and know when you call He answers (Awesome)

1. No God no peace; know God know Peace.well wholeness complete
We live in a very troubled world and times, and it may seem peace is an illusion and hard to have. The word “peace,” “serene” have a few meanings. At times it is translated “well, whole, nothing broken, nothing missing,” It’s a quality which the world cannot buy for all its money or wealth.
The Bible says God gives us an abundance of peace. The first revelation of Jehovah Shalom is found in Judges 6. Israel had forgotten Jehovah and turned to idols. They had forgotten God has revealed Himself as Sanctifier after 200 yrs had passed. There was no central government, they were scattered and had forgotten Jehovah God as a nation. They were divided and scattered. Every man was doing what was right in his own eyes and the result was they were living in defeat and failures, not as the head but the tail.
The Midianites had overcome and kept Israel in bondage. They had camels attacking with swords putting them in fear, burning their crops, farms and houses. Israel had backslidden and did not have peace as their inheritance as a chosen nation.
Gideon was a man with a tremendous inferiority complex or lack of self esteem, suffering from rejection and self condemnation. He was easy to get uptight because just like us, we see with the natural eyes concerning our circumstances. When David was facing Goliath he was not uptight even though Goliath was bigger and better armed. This was because David had peace and inner tranquility, and considered how big God is and not his own size when he faced and fought Goliath -
v22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. v23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. v24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah Shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Judges 6:22-24
Gideon needed the peace of God if he was to win the battle. God gave Gideon peace before he ever won the battle. God is greater than anything you may encounter so hold your peace.
Shalom as a greeting is usually said twice. Why? Peace within and peace without. Shalom means also “to pay” or “render” or “give unto” and can also mean “full,” “lacking nothing in Jesus.”
2. Peace is God’s payment.
Peace says “I don’t have to worry about the future because I know Him and His Word has made provision to all my needs.”
Another meaning of the word “Peace” is “better than any” or “perfect” or “the best ever.” It is used 170 times in the Bible (better than anything – Peace, perfect, best). In Isaiah 9:6, the prophet prophesied that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and Jerusalem is the city of peace or possession of peace .
v10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:10-11
v7 The voice of the LORD divided the flames of fire. v8 The voice of the LORD shake the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. v9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovered the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. v10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. v 11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:7-11
v17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou should est go. v18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isaiah 48:17-18 (7 keys to your peace -1 whose saying and who say and what you hear listen to instructions from is key 2 The lord Is he the lord or master in control of your life in charge or you 3 Are you redeemed ,do you understand redemption from and the power of the blood 4 Holiness and peace is related Is there a separation for before fire to fall there has to be sacrifice separation of flesh an d worldliness or ways 5 Are you teachable have a humble heart or stubborn hard thinking you know it all 6 who is leading an d whose leading you are following 7 obedience and heeding the word .
God does not want us to be confused, torn up, divided but single-minded, focused and full of His peace and security. Some people think God give us bad things so that we will mature and be purified. Not so and not true! James 1:17 says:”Every good thing comes from God.”
v7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 12For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.” Isaiah 66:7-12
Gideon had only 300 men to fight the enormous 135,000,00 Midianites but he had to hold his peace, trust God and speak victory, and as he was full of holes or leaked, God has to give him reassurance.
V12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. Judges 7:12-21.
God’s Word is never void of power to fulfill what it says. Hold your peace. Gideon kept his peace with his relatives who stirred strife, anger and jealousy, and won. He had a revelation of Jehovah Shalom. When Gideon’s relatives complained and griped, he kept the peace. Contention takes two people. Peace takes only one. When you let Jesus’ peace, love and joy flow out, there cannot be strife.
What is to be upon our feet? Ephesians 6:15 talks about “feet shod with the Gospel of Peace.”
3. Peace is living at its best.
One of the meanings of peace in the Bible is eirene in Greek which means:
a state of national tranquillity
exemption from the rage and havoc of war
peace between individuals, i.e. harmony, concord
security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because peace and harmony make and keep things safe and prosperous)
of the Messiah's peace
the way that leads to peace (salvation)
of Christianity, the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is
the blessed state of devout and upright men after death
(http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/nas/eirene.html)
v 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side. Luke 19:37-43
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13, 14
Peace is our heritage. Ephesians 2:17.
He came to preach peace to those who are afar and nigh .We can have peace because Jesus has shed His blood and blotted out all our sins and failures and fear etc
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrew 12:24.
“Let the peace of God rule in your heart” or take its rightful place in the inner man or core or centre of your life. Colossians 3:15
You have to decide if your emotions or God’s peace rule. You have to choose to allow feelings, flesh or faith in the Word and God’s promises to rule.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee for he trusteth in Him. Isaiah 26:3.
Romans 8:6 says: To be spiritually minded is life and peace. You decide to live in worry, fears, anxiety, the flesh or the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:15-18 teaches you choose to take control of yourself and feelings and emotions by being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourself in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs or stay agitated and anxious. The Kingdom of God is love, joy, peace and power in the Holy Spirit. Don’t let your mind be restless.
Isaiah 32:17 says “the work (fruit) of righteousness is peace.”
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. Isaiah 32:16-20
Restlessness, uptightness and upset does not reflect a life of Christ but the need of the Peace of God to replace and bring God glory in our lives because Jesus by His blood has made peace available and by His righteousness given us His peace.
V26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:26-30
Peace is an attribute of God in the Bible or His nature. May Jehovah reveal Himself. He is your peace and you have the peace of God.
24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27
Come unto me all ye heavy laden I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
4. There are 6 keys to having the peace of God in your life.
5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:5-9
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 1 Peter 3:10-11
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
The LORD will give strength unto his people; The LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
There are four very basic human needs in life – Acceptance sense of belonging loved n be loved , Purpose, Security, Identity or Self-Esteem. Anything affecting these areas affect your peace and behaviour or well being.
According to Peter, we are to search and seek for peace, not merely desire but pursue peace. Pursue peace of God, peace with God, peace with self and peace with men as much as possible. Let us live in peace.
Morbid introspection and negativity must cease if we are to have peace. A healthy self esteem and image and not thinking lowly or too highly of oneself is essential to have peace within. Self recrimination and criticism can undermine your faith and self esteem. Past mistakes and foreboding self-accusation steals one’s inner tranquility. We must choose to believe that no matter how we feel or what people said about us, what God says about us is most important i.e. we have hope of a great future and have peace.
Do not get into comparison and blame or rejection it steals your peace. You are no more under condemnation, accusation and there’s more right with you than wrong with you. So, be at peace. We need to think well of oneself. Self-depreciation is destructive and robs you of peace. Take charge, take a chance, take control, know your life is your choice and don't let people manipulate or control you.
Be yourself. You have resurrection power in you too to make quality decisions. You are unique and special. Know yourself and be yourself. You do not have to be like someone else.
Focus on the good and right. You may not be where you need to be but thank God you are not where you used to be.
Be calm, cool and collected and live in peace. If there is one thing most needed in these troubled times and to fight the battles or storms of life, it is the peace of God. One word of peace released when Jesus faced the storm calmed the sea of troubles in an instant. May we seek and lay hold and release this Peace of God. That is the key to the miracles of life when you go through the storms in life.
Jehovah means 6 things: 1) The revealing one; 2) The eternal; 3) unchanging God; changeless One; 4) He is the God of Righteousness and 5 ) Holiness and 6) He is the merciful one Peace is a weapon and the people who know their God will walk in peace conquer overcome the world and enemy .He is Jehovah shalom the God of peace who will crush Satan under our feet .

Today's special miracle Sunday via Skype as thousands respond to God's word and love for salvation n healing. To God be the glory.
Judges 18:10"When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, a place where there is NO LACK OF ANYTHING that is on the earth.Isaiah 60:11-12 Your gates shall be open continually;
day and night they shall not be shut,that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,with their kings led in procession.
Wonderful view from room of the mountain city business district and the sea
My reflections and food for thoughts- Luke 5 17-26 The miracle is in the word ,give it preeminence supremacy You will not go down for the greater one is in U You overcome whoever digs a grave for you will fall into it themselves Fire Fire Fire In Jesus name The power of God is present to heal and may you be plugged in the power connected so you walk in the power of God May you walk in the Power of God where-ever you are .You cant be common if you walk in Power May God infused you with Power for the supernatural and miracles.Intercession vicarious faith is standing for others and may you find four friends like the paralysed men Our solution is in God for the name of the Lord is a strong tower where you can find refuge and strength help .There are some people with unstoppable faith who will not be denied like the 4 men and who will not be deterred whatever obstacles they will go round dig under press through of go up and do the unimaginable with stubborn faith like Jacob who said to the angel I will not let you go No one can deny me access or hinder me but I will take it by force by fire and force as the kingdom of God suffers violence but the violent take it by force The 4 men was willing to do anything to get their miracle even the unthinkable of pulling down the roof with Agressive violent faith against the enemy Are the 4 men crazy and what rationality is there in what they did Sometimes you have to do the unusual unexpected to terrify the enemy .Before this day pass god is going to cause you to mount soar with wings like eagle but you have to take a step of violent faith in God of the supernatural You dont know how but you are crazy enough to believe a turnaround breakthrough miracle is and will b e imposed in you r life so you walk on water of the Word At according to they word throw down the net .What you trust God for may it manifest and so shall it be today for Faith is Now. Miracles goes beyond the understanding of men and faith moves God The miracle is in Gods presence and faith God honors faith so where there is faith there is glory Be desperate for God not desperate for without faith it is impossible to please God True faith not presumption does not disappoint Jesus saw their faith and addressed the issue Faith is the medium of exchange not fear not desperation not need not crying but faith confidence in God not gambling or a casino as with God there is no maybe but with blessing I will bless you heal deliver set you free give you your miracle no maybe God is not a men he would lie or repent or his word does not come to pass There is healing miracles forgiveness and freedom from all sin Cut all the roots of the sin and stay free safe strong because of the divine blood of Jesus People who question God like the pharisee only know in part a s they still have controversy and does not mean they are right Jesus perceived their thoughts because He was prophetic and saw their hearts and mind and the prophetic is the key to the end time ministry of the supernatural The prophetic will have to confront mindset mentality opposition of the flesh self glory and the feeling all to know is alll there is because it was not in the text or reasoning of logic etc Jesu was direct confrontational an d appears arrogant but He was challenging norms and established norms tradition mindsets that is just secular not spiritual questioning and know it all attitude that you cant do it this way The pharisees was using their years age experience to oppose Jesus as
a younger man Jesus perceived their thoughts that they were trying to censure Him Its never been done this way before they told Mr seiko .Kodak didn't want innovations and new technology and became extinct no more we must be open to new ideas Which is the easiest Jesus asked There are different types kinds of ministry the flesh soul or spirit the natural or supernatural Lets change challenge our worldview Easy just to preach but to manifest is different no matter how well good you know the word and preach but making proof of what you say takes lots of risk not risk less ministry Doctors say men say what God says is a make and break an d not just talk no action or manifestation Easy homiletical hermeneutics logic but in context to bring heaven down in the now isnt easy as it takes more than flesh or logic and every ministry carry different responsibility levels anointing power glory Acts 3 why did Jesus leave him It wasn't His time yet an dJesu left him for peter and John and had discernment Jesu ministered with power but with wisdom discernment accuracy and wasnt easy but with perfection precise which one is easiest why Jesus say is he was speaking of spiritual discernment and operation and who he is when challenged as He was not self promoting but we must know the God we trust He know s what He i s doing and i s able willing and is more than religion Religion says all the same No its not always true not all is the same as the Son of men has power not just talk Jesu says a tenant will become a landlord an employee is going to be an employer the impossible will become possible Amaze us oh Lord and the fear reverence of God may return so the world know there is still a Living God Jesus stood alone but god was with Him Amaze us oh lord this week and give us a sign you are with us that you are with us and may you be glorified so the fear of God will return to terrify the enemies who say where is your God Let wonder worship witness return so we may do warfare God give us ministry of demonstration manifestation a high ministry that people will fear God because they have seen strange thing s happening Miracles will happen and the high ministry will operate again from today in Jesus name May we have the right atmosphere for god to operate an d your miracle Break the roof whatever limitation and limiting factors opposition obstacles by force and by fire by the blood of the lamb and lion of Judah lord release your power now in Jesus name
Success or fulfillment is right place right plan and right people and partner. Gods plan one man one women one dollar out of ten .If we follow Gods instruction it cant be wrong but right What you can picture and capture that becomes your future You shall not die but live to declare the glory of God May God be your help Eleazar means he whom God helps He was a tenacious man a man of courage in the midst of the shaking of life and overwhelming adversity tragedy .Single handed when all forsook and he was left alone he stood his ground over overwhelming odds and prevail in-spite of the odds was against him His condition wasn't his conclusion A car can stop but the journey hasn't ended so take courage even when your hand is weary and let the sword cleave to your hand like Eleazar .He battled on despite the pain.He didnt give up or quit when it was hard and perilous or tired He never quit or give up when shaking. Old prophet ruin the life of young prophet so be careful of elder brothers Be sure God spoke to you and do not be manipulated God always has a backup if we mess up Amazing that the spirit fell upon the lying old prophet after the young prophet disobeyed and didnt conquer his weakness and follow instructions not to eat .when God left balaam the donkey spoke May God not replace you with someone lesser than you The old prophet deceived the young prophet and outlives him .May you not fall into deception and may false prophesy be cut off permanently . 1 Kings 13 Genesis 32 Jacob was left alone Shamar means alone Jesus went up alone to the mountain to pray .It is time to get alone with God and dig deep into the word Elijah was alone when he received heard from on high .Be alone with God is the key that unlocks the supernatural Mk 3 v 14 He called the 12 to be with Him .Moses went up the mountain to be alone and when he came down the glory was reflecting emanating from his face transcending the natural, An anointed powerful man without knowledge is a dangerous man and needs wisdom Moses was anointed but also a man of the word understanding of the laws of God .Adino means slender trim slim fit - Mathew 7 v 14 Lean fit no excesses of attitudes not physical fat but speaks of excesses in life .Petty touchy sensitive perfectionist ,merciless ,in sensitiveness ,pride arrogance .lacks grace
Flesh profits not Romans 8 v 8 Romans 13 v 14 Make no provisions for the flesh .Dont empty your destiny by continuing to fill your tummy .Must deal with the flesh .spiritual discipline fasting meditation perseverance diligence loyalty honor faithfulness diligence humility is vital to be fit spiritually
Reflections for meditations - The ministry of power requires not more of you but All of You and a greater sacrifice The word must be reality to you to be miracle through you You do not speak of that which you do not know or have experienced yourself for you do not merely repeat a story but you know your God is the I am the God of all flesh the eternal unchanging everlasting almighty one .If my faith is too much and arrogant for your ignorance that is your problem To have operate and manifest the power you must have an encounter and the logos must become a rhema be made flesh The ministry of power is a Jesus type of Ministry as he spoke and demonstrated the word May the word be alive We are all called to preach teach and demonstrate the reality of the word with signs wonders miracles healing deliverance's or the supernatural is for you .may the word dwell in us richly and be actualize fulfilled in your life today in Jesus name May you be a solution today and may you reveal the glory and power of God making the bible alive Life lived gives power to words spoken May we be credible witness with signs wonders miracles following
The ministry of demonstration of power is a difficult ministry but settles issues Elijah not only challenged the people with words and good preaching but called fire down.We are not just speaking to provoke the mind as necessary as it is but it is not complete fully preaching the word .A hungry man needs bread not just a nice lecture and explanation of bread or hunger itself The ministry of power requires risk of faith .and complete focus concentration because its controversial It demand your all and total surrender a high price to pay The ministry of power operates in a higher realm than the reason or natural.It cuts matters in two and is an imposing ministry as it can be intimidating as power defies humane explanations and reasons We can debate rationalize analyse all we want but power speaks for itself and must be imposed with force .Power belongs to God and may the power manifest however scary it may be Let us not limit or fear the power of God It requires deeper consecration than any ministry and you cannot afford to be distracted to operate in the ministry of power .You have to pay the price and sacrifices and set yourself apart if you want to see the power .The ministry of power demand a little more and you must be a nazarite like Samson .Not every preacher is a nazarite .There are conversation you cant partake or touch The anointing must be maintained preserved The ministry of power requires consecration and higher requirements You will be an eagle and fly above the storms The ministry of power requires sacrifice and can be very heavy .and some loose their health family etc You literally have everything of you You have to be dead to self the world flesh Paul died daily Gods glory He will not share The ministry of power will reveal the glory miracle of god and is complete We must have a personal experience with the word not just the letter of the law but the word made flesh to you and through you. May the power of God be a reality to you as you go through the process of preparation to have an experience of Him .who is the I am the eternal self existing One .The ministry of power is the Jesus ministry as He spoke the word and demonstrated the word with signs wonders and miracles after he spoke. Each of us are at different level but we all are called to minister in His power in a measure by faith love and walk in the power of God The ministry of power reveals the power glory of God in the highest possible way making the presence of god evident and bringing the bible alive One miracle speaks more than a thousand words without miracles or evidence .Our intellect alone without the power of God is incomplete The power of God enables us to fulfill the assignment purposes of God We need the word and power to confirm and make our preaching credible and give evidence to the reality and truth Does God still speak in the now and is relevant May God make proof and gives us evidence of His power in our lives and not just empty words

2 cor 3 v 18 your height in life (spirit) determines your spiritual sight in life. There s more than one set of eyes men has been given Physical vision,soul vision and spiritual divine vision Scale the spiritual heights and the higher you ascend the greater you see See with your spiritual eyes .A man may be blind physically yet he see s and describe accurately How can it be but the man has spiritual sight .How was john in the midst of adversity is in the spirit in the lords day and receive spiritual revelations beyond the senses .We are seated in heavenly places .There seems to be a higher level where it transcends the flesh and even the spirit world .Live life in the highest level of revelation and manifestation of the spirit.Paul came out of his spirit from his physical body and experienced another dimension ..37 years ago whether in the body or out of body as paul says I was lifted out of the physical and ascended up to see things indescribable There is such a realm is all I can say We are spirit beings and have spiritual sight and eyes of the spirit to see in the 4th dimension by the spirit of faith Men is more than a physical being or a an intellect with a soul .1Thel 5 verse 23 .
Paul refers to the hidden man of the heart or the inner man .
Thus said the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose ..Zech 1 17 .psalm 35 v 27 Let them shout for joy and be glad that favor my righteous cause; yea, let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified who hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 28:27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.”psalm 112 v 1 Praise the Lord.[b]Blessed are those who fear the Lord,who find great delight in his commands.2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.3 Wealth and riches are in their houses,and their righteousness endures forever.4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,who conduct their affairs with justice.6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;hey will be remembered forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news;their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,
their righteousness endures forever; their horn[c] will be lifted high in honor.
Proverbs 19 v 15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.Laziness slothfulness makes excuses blame and just critise s talks responsibility respoonse to the ability inside of you .idle daydream and no action prosperity answers to adherence to principles of prosperity not just prayer alone Lazy people love sleep Revelation 5:12-13New International Version (NIV)
12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”
Your present circumstances or situation does not determine your final destination( future) as all is subject to change .How we see our future is much more important than what has happened in your past. If you can visualize than you will actualize and see it materialize. Revelation will bring inspiration , actualization and manifestation .What you can see in your heart and minds eye will determine your destiny .Jesus says I do only what I see the Father do .and the principle stills hold true in life. The women with the issue of blood said spoke but she said what she saw in her heart that if I may touch the hem of His garment I will be healed ,How can she say that as she was declared by doctors facts that she had only a few month s to live and was not getting better but worst according to diagnosis of her condition but her visualization in he r heart as whole changed her destiny and she saw herself healed on touching Jesus What and how do you see yourself in your heart and what will you say You Miracle is in your heart and mouth See according to the word blessed healed delivered abundance no lack or limitations is all up to you .An architect sees before they build the skyscraper.what are you seeing saying an d building in your world
Is there clouds the sun is still shinning so continue to see a God says and see things in your world .Reach out and touch Jesus
Wounded people loose the wonder of life and they loose their will to worship and desire to witness or do warfare against the world the flesh an d the devil. There is a war for the souls of men to keep us wounded and wounded people are deadly and wounds others .The enemy will wound and attack relationships to kill your soul joy dreams, marriage, family, children or business .,people .Prayer will make the difference and healing will come . Jesus was wounded for our transgression bruised by our iniqueites. Isaiah 30 verse 26 ,Be healed of your wounds and be restored Your scars are testimony to the grace of God and God specialize in turning your scars into stars .Let your scars be turned into stars today for no weapon formed against you can prosper. Uncover the wounds and let the blood flow and get the fear out so be healed of your wounds Don t loose the wonder and worship and witness and raise to do war .Isaiah 53 verse 3-5 , 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed .Don t loose the wonder of life ,the will to worship the joy of witnessing and the power to do warfare. Revelation 13 v 3 .Zech 13 v 6
We must cultivate the garden of the mind You cannot live in the palace with a ghetto mentality What is in your mind will shape your destiny You can have be what you want to me as long as you believe in the God in you Be God conscious for He is not just in the sky in the bye and bye God has put you in Him and Christ is in you.The indwelling of Christ the anointed one and the anointing is in you We are the dwelling place tabernacle of God The God who hang the sun and moon created heavens and the earth is not only with me but in me Christ in you the hope of glory Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world As a man think so is he .What are you thinking and in yr heart and mind.No farmer plants sow and not expect a harvest So grow sow plant cultivate good seeds thoughts in your mind .what is your thoughts about money.healing,faith ,miracles .Money gives you energy and you can praise God better when your bills are paid and you don't owe or is in lack.You have to have the right thinking about money to receive it .we can change a persons location but what is the real condition or mindset.and position.How does 80 percent loose millions they win in lottery in a few years It has to do with the mentality .A women won 30 million and lost it in 2 years because she had a welfare mentality and living with the Jones trying to keep up with the Jones. The fool says in his heart there is no God The fool no matter how much looses all eventually .Be renewed in the spirit of the mind Romans 12 verse 1-2 What you focus ,watch produces after its own kind.watch your mind and thoughts from fear and the flesh which contradicts what God says He is your God who shall supply all your needs.Most churches have money but no real power and others have power but no money.There are 3 land ,not enough ,just enough and more than enough .Set your mind to enter into the land of much much more than enough God wants you blessed.who decides your wealth and health .why the mafia has money and the missionaries are in need so who decides your wealth .Many sincere people who love God yet have no money .why .We must understand God loves the rich and the poor but your wealth is a different issue .The person of Jesus determines your eternity an d heaven but the principles and laws of the kingdom, faith, health, wealth determines your wealth success and blessings on earth. We must understand this truth so you wont be embittered and wonder why the unequal distribution Proverbs 26 verse 2 .Wisdom is the ability to differentiate the difference in life in a opportunity, a moment, open door ,vision, atmosphere,situation ,countenance etc. Generally wisdom in life comes in two ways ,mistakes or a Mentor Who s voice you listen determines your destinations and outcome. Proverbs 4 verse 7 .our ignorance is the tool Satan can only use against you. Wisdom can be bought in a book .Change is proportionate to knowledge you have. Everything in life reproduces after itself. what is being produce from your life. Your difference reflects your importance in life .how do you see yourself and how and what you think or perceive of yourself ,poor or rich inside. Don t be a hostage to what others say and think of you or life but you are who God says you are and can be. 3 things your mind needs It needs focus it needs instruction and it needs a hero a mentor .Every battle in life is in the mind so manage your mind and you manage your life. The mind has 2 parts memory an d imaginations and one relates to th e past the other your future .without vision my people perish .Your self portrait will determine your conduct and future .Jeremiah said i Am a child and God shut him up and repainted for him His true portrait .likewise Gideon had to change his self esteem and portrait and have a true an d right focus to succeed in the battle of life .We must teach the mind to harness and filter the info it receives and follow instructions to be successful in life The mind must be taught to search out the answers.* reasons why my income will double in 12 months ,Elijah unleashed Elisha s passion Ruth was drawn by Noami faith and personality,We need examples in life to follow ,your hero determines your energy passion,endurance experiences,faith and persistence.Kill the snakes in your mind and pull out the weeds and you will be rewarded.
Hab 2 verse 3
Know and understand your present situation or condition is not your final destination or destiny .Never allow the circumstances dictate what is the dream you have in your heart Though the vision tarries wait for it and God will surely bring it to pass in His due time and way There will be prevailing attitudes and circumstances that oppose or challenge your dreams Be determined and let your dreams drive you make you disciplined A dream will produce self denial and your gift will make room for you .Train to reign so don't waste your time ,plan ,prepare and pay the price and your dreams will materialize and be actualize ..What you believe is more important than what people say or believe.what yu make happen for others God makes happen for you .Genesis 35 verse 7.Pursue your dreams in life.Dream bigger dreams Let your gifting s be released via your dreams and potential today Let a dream revolutionize your life.Release your faith and the power of God in the dream God gives you .Let the dream drive you towards your destiny and greatness for Gods glory.God has a dream for your life You are special unique and only one of your kind .When God wants to bless and use you He gives you a dream so you see yourself and future in a dream Every leader has a great dream and will affect your walk talk and life Dream of things that never were is faith an d say why not it is possible Dream big dreams and change your world.Do you have a dream Why not? A dream will distinguish you ,and follow a dreamer like Joseph and dreams will release your potential Everything in life begins with a dream .You must have a dream to release your potential Your dream will excite and encourage you ,propel you to your destination .A shark will grow as big as its environment.Swim with the sharks not with the guppies. A dream attacks prevailing attitudes.Break through the prevailing attitudes who like the wright brothers who had a dream and made history at kitty hawk ,Your dream will motivate you to greatness ,fulfillment satisfaction and achievement ,A dream will challenge energize or fires you or drives you .You are never too young or old to dream . Colonel Sanders started Kentucky at 65 ,your best years are ahead .Don,t let excuses cripple you ..There will be times when your circumstances is inconsistent with your dreams but never let circumstances change your dream .Your life will catch up with yr dreams if you just keep believing God Hab 2 v 3 .Dreams will demand integrity and discipline,self denial and consistency. .What others say and believe about you doesn't really matter but do you believe in God and in yourself and the dreams in your life .What you make happen for others God makes happen for you .Plan and act out your dream Take action and navigate towards yr dream .God can use whatever happens to propel you towards your dream s. Move on in faith not by the circumstances or flesh and you will see the miracle Believe in your dream and change your world Dream Bigger and pursue the God given dream for your life Time to dream and live Gods dream for you.As a 17 year old young man Joseph had a dream from God that changed his life and ushered him to greatness unimaginable .Let God give you a dream and light up your life. A dream will effect how you live walk and talk. Don' t be a dream killer but be a dream builder .There is glory in a God given dream but sometimes you have to fight and hold on to the dreams of God.
OUR Reaction To A Man of God Determines God’s Reaction To Me. God-Instructions are not necessarily logical. He gives you a Mind to do logical stuff for yourself. If You Can Understand A God-Instruction, It Was Not A God-Instruction. When God talks to you about the walls falling down, He may say walk around them 7 days in a row and 7 times on Sunday. (See Joshua 6.) Sometimes, God gives crazy instructions to verify your faith in Him and His nature.

LET THERE BE PEACE IN OUR LAND”
This draft document was written by Rev Dr Alfred Ee on 24th Dec 2014 for Magdalene Dura upon her request to be used in part for her speech entitled above as she address the traditional rulers, political leaders, stakeholders and the public on the need for peace during and after the elections in Nigeria.
Scripture Reference:
Luke 2 :14; Luke 19:42; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 29:7-11; Isaiah 48:18; Isaiah 32:17: Isaiah 66:12; Romans 8:6; Hebrews 12:24; Colossians 3:15; Judges 6:22-24; Judges 7:13 -15; Ephesians 6:15; Ephesians 2:17
1. No God no peace; know God know Peace.well wholeness complete
We live in a very troubled world and times, and it may seem peace is an illusion and hard to have. The word “peace,” “serene” have a few meanings. At times it is translated “well, whole, nothing broken, nothing missing,” It’s a quality which the world cannot buy for all its money or wealth.
The Bible says God gives us an abundance of peace. The first revelation of Jehovah Shalom is found in Judges 6. Israel had forgotten Jehovah and turned to idols. They had forgotten God has revealed Himself as Sanctifier after 200 yrs had passed. There was no central government, they were scattered and had forgotten Jehovah God as a nation. They were divided and scattered. Every man was doing what was right in his own eyes and the result was they were living in defeat and failures, not as the head but the tail.
The Midianites had overcome and kept Israel in bondage. They had camels attacking with swords putting them in fear, burning their crops, farms and houses. Israel had backslidden and did not have peace as their inheritance as a chosen nation.
Gideon was a man with a tremendous inferiority complex or lack of self esteem, suffering from rejection and self condemnation. He was easy to get uptight because just like us, we see with the natural eyes concerning our circumstances. When David was facing Goliath he was not uptight even though Goliath was bigger and better armed. This was because David had peace and inner tranquility, and considered how big God is and not his own size when he faced and fought Goliath -
v22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. v23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. v24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah Shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Judges 6:22-24
Gideon needed the peace of God if he was to win the battle. God gave Gideon peace before he ever won the battle. God is greater than anything you may encounter so hold your peace.
Shalom as a greeting is usually said twice. Why? Peace within and peace without. Shalom means also “to pay” or “render” or “give unto” and can also mean “full,” “lacking nothing in Jesus.”
2. Peace is God’s payment.
Peace says “I don’t have to worry about the future because I know Him and His Word has made provision to all my needs.”
Another meaning of the word “Peace” is “better than any” or “perfect” or “the best ever.” It is used 170 times in the Bible (better than anything – Peace, perfect, best). In Isaiah 9:6, the prophet prophesied that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and Jerusalem is the city of peace or possession of peace .
v10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. v11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:10-11
v7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. v8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. v9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. v10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. v11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:7-11
v17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. v18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isaiah 48:17-18 (7 keys to your peace -1 whose saying and who say and what you hear listen to instructions from is key 2 The lord Is he the lord or master in control of your life incharge or you 3 Are you redeemed ,do you understand redemption from and the power of the blood 4 Holiness and peace is related Is there a separation for before fire to fall there has to be sacrifice separation of flesh an d worldliness or ways 5 Are you teachable have a humble heart or stubborn hard thinking you know it all 6 who is leading an d whose leading you are following 7 obedience and heeding the word .
God does not want us to be confused, torn up, divided but single-minded, focused and full of His peace and security. Some people think God give us bad things so that we will mature and be purified. Not so and not true! James 1:17 says:”Every good thing comes from God.”
v7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 12For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.” Isaiah 66:7-12
Gideon had only 300 men to fight the enormous 135,000,00 Midianites but he had to hold his peace, trust God and speak victory, and as he was full of holes or leaked, God has to give him reassurance.
V12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. Judges 7:12-21.
God’s Word is never void of power to fulfill what it says. Hold your peace. Gideon kept his peace with his relatives who stirred strife, anger and jealousy, and won. He had a revelation of Jehovah Shalom. When Gideon’s relatives complained and griped, he kept the peace. Contention takes two people. Peace takes only one. When you let Jesus’ peace, love and joy flow out, there cannot be strife.
What is to be upon our feet? Ephesians 6:15 talks about “feet shod with the Gospel of Peace.”
3. Peace is living at its best.
One of the meanings of peace in the Bible is eirene in Greek which means:
a state of national tranquillity
exemption from the rage and havoc of war
peace between individuals, i.e. harmony, concord
security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because peace and harmony make and keep things safe and prosperous)
of the Messiah's peace
the way that leads to peace (salvation)
of Christianity, the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is
the blessed state of devout and upright men after death
(http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/nas/eirene.html)
v 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side. Luke 19:37-43
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13, 14
Peace is our heritage. Ephesians 2:17.
He came to preach peace to those who are afar and nigh .We can have peace because Jesus has shed His blood and blotted out all our sins and failures and fear etc
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrew 12:24.
“Let the peace of God rule in your heart” or take its rightful place in the inner man or core or centre of your life. Colossians 3:15
You have to decide if your emotions or God’s peace rule. You have to choose to allow feelings, flesh or faith in the Word and God’s promises to rule.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee for he trusteth in Him. Isaiah 26:3.
Romans 8:6 says: To be spiritually minded is life and peace. You decide to live in worry, fears, anxiety, the flesh or the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:15-18 teaches you choose to take control of yourself and feelings and emotions by being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourself in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs or stay agitated and anxious. The Kingdom of God is love, joy, peace and power in the Holy Spirit. Don’t let your mind be restless.
Isaiah 32:17 says “the work (fruit) of righteousness is peace.”
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. Isaiah 32:16-20
Restlessness, uptightness and upset does not reflect a life of Christ but the need of the Peace of God to replace and bring God glory in our lives because Jesus by His blood has made peace available and by His righteousness given us His peace.
V26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:26-30
Peace is an attribute of God in the Bible or His nature. May Jehovah reveal Himself. He is your peace and you have the peace of God.
24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27
Come unto me all ye heavy laden I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
4. There are 6 keys to having the peace of God in your life.
5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:5-9
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 1 Peter 3:10-11
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
The LORD will give strength unto his people; The LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
There are four very basic human needs in life – Acceptance sense of belonging loved n be loved , Purpose, Security, Identity or Self-Esteem. Anything affecting these areas affect your peace and behaviour or well being.
According to Peter, we are to search and seek for peace, not merely desire but pursue peace. Pursue peace of God, peace with God, peace with self and peace with men as much as possible. Let us live in peace.
Morbid introspection and negativity must cease if we are to have peace. A healthy self esteem and image and not thinking lowly or too highly of oneself is essential to have peace within. Self recrimination and criticism can undermine your faith and self esteem. Past mistakes and foreboding self-accusation steals one’s inner tranquility. We must choose to believe that no matter how we feel or what people said about us, what God says about us is most important i.e. we have hope of a great future and have peace.
Do not get into comparison and blame or rejection it steals your peace. You are no more under condemnation, accusation and there’s more right with you than wrong with you. So, be at peace. We need to think well of oneself. Self-depreciation is destructive and robs you of peace. Take charge, take a chance, take control, know your life is your choice and don't let people manipulate or control you.
Be yourself. You have resurrection power in you too to make quality decisions. You are unique and special. Know yourself and be yourself. You do not have to be like someone else.
Focus on the good and right. You may not be where you need to be but thank God you are not where you used to be.
Be calm, cool and collected and live in peace. If there is one thing most needed in these troubled times and to fight the battles or storms of life, it is the peace of God. One word of peace released when Jesus faced the storm calmed the sea of troubles in an instant. May we seek and lay hold and release this Peace of God. That is the key to the miracles of life when you go through the storms in life.
Jehovah means 6 things: 1) The revealing one; 2) The eternal; 3) unchanging God; changeless One; 4) He is the God of Righteousness and 5 ) Holinesss and 6) He is the merciful one

“Let the peace of God rule in your heart” or take its rightful place in the inner man or core or centre of your life. Colossians 3:15
You have to decide if your emotions or God’s peace rule. You have to choose to allow feelings, flesh or faith in the Word and God’s promises to rule.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee for he trusteth in Him. Isaiah 26:3.
Romans 8:6 says: To be spiritually minded is life and peace. You decide to live in worry, fears, anxiety, the flesh or the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:15-18 teaches you choose to take control of yourself and feelings and emotions by being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourself in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs or stay agitated and anxious. The Kingdom of God is love, joy, peace and power in the Holy Spirit. Don’t let your mind be restless.
Isaiah 32:17 says “the work (fruit) of righteousness is peace.”
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. Isaiah 32:16-20
Restlessness, uptightness and upset does not reflect a life of Christ but the need of the Peace of God to replace and bring God glory in our lives because Jesus by His blood has made peace available and by His righteousness given us His peace.
V26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:26-30
Peace is an attribute of God in the Bible or His nature. May Jehovah reveal Himself. He is your peace and you have the peace of God.
24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27
Come unto me all ye heavy laden I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
4. There are 6 keys to having the peace of God in your life.
5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:5-9
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 1 Peter 3:10-11
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
The LORD will give strength unto his people; The LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
There are four very basic human needs in life – Acceptance sense of belonging loved n be loved , Purpose, Security, Identity or Self-Esteem. Anything affecting these areas affect your peace and behaviour or well being.
According to Peter, we are to search and seek for peace, not merely desire but pursue peace. Pursue peace of God, peace with God, peace with self and peace with men as much as possible. Let us live in peace.
Morbid introspection and negativity must cease if we are to have peace. A healthy self esteem and image and not thinking lowly or too highly of oneself is essential to have peace within. Self recrimination and criticism can undermine your faith and self esteem. Past mistakes and foreboding self-accusation steals one’s inner tranquility. We must choose to believe that no matter how we feel or what people said about us, what God says about us is most important i.e. we have hope of a great future and have peace.
Do not get into comparison and blame or rejection it steals your peace. You are no more under condemnation, accusation and there’s more right with you than wrong with you. So, be at peace. We need to think well of oneself. Self-depreciation is destructive and robs you of peace. Take charge, take a chance, take control, know your life is your choice and don't let people manipulate or control you.
Be yourself. You have resurrection power in you too to make quality decisions. You are unique and special. Know yourself and be yourself. You do not have to be like someone else.
Focus on the good and right. You may not be where you need to be but thank God you are not where you used to be.
Be calm, cool and collected and live in peace. If there is one thing most needed in these troubled times and to fight the battles or storms of life, it is the peace of God. One word of peace released when Jesus faced the storm calmed the sea of troubles in an instant. May we seek and lay hold and release this Peace of God. That is the key to the miracles of life when you go through the storms in life.
Jehovah means 6 things: 1) The revealing one; 2) The eternal; 3) unchanging God; changeless One; 4) He is the God of Righteousness and 5 ) Holinesss and 6) He is the merciful one

We must cultivate the garden of the mind.
You cannot live in the palace with a ghetto mentality.
What is in your mind will shape your destiny.
You can have be what you want to me as long as you believe in the God in you. Be God conscious for He is not just in the sky in the bye and bye God has put you in Him and Christ is in you.The indwelling of Christ the anointed one and the anointing is in you. We are the dwelling place tabernacle of God.
The God who hang the sun and moon created heavens and the earth is not only with me but in me Christ in you the hope of glory. Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world. As a man think so is he .What are you thinking and in your heart and mind.
No farmer plants sow and not expect a harvest.
So grow sow plant cultivate good seeds thoughts in your mind. What is your thoughts about money,healing,faith ,
miracles. Money gives you energy and you can praise God better when your bills are paid and you don't owe or is in lack. You have to have the right thinking about money to receive it. We can change a person's location but what is the real condition or mindset and position.
How does 80 percent loose millions they win in lottery in a few years. It has to do with the mentality.
A women won 30 million and lost it in 2 years because she had a welfare mentality and living with the Jones trying to keep up with the Jones. The fool says in his heart there is no God. The fool no matter how much looses all eventually.
Be renewed in the spirit of the mind Romans 12 verse 1-2 What you focus ,watch produces after its own kind, watch your mind and thoughts from fear and the flesh which contradicts what God says He is your God who shall supply all your needs.
Most churches have money but no real power and others have power but no money.
There are 3 land ,not enough ,just enough and more than enough .Set your mind to enter into the land of much much more than enough. God wants you blessed, who decides your wealth and health.
Why the mafia has money and the missionaries are in need so who decides your wealth .
Many sincere people who love God yet have no money why?
We must understand God loves the rich and the poor but your wealth is a different issue .The person of Jesus determines your eternity and heaven but the principles and laws of the kingdom,faith,health, wealth determines your wealth success and blessings on earth.
We must understand this truth so you wont be embittered and wonder why the unequal distribution Proverbs 26 verse 2 .Wisdom is the ability to differentiate the difference in life in a opportunity, a moment, open door ,vision,atmosphere,
situation ,countenance etc.
Generally wisdom in life comes in two ways ,mistakes or a Mentor. Who' s voice you listen determines your destinations and outcome.Proverbs 4 verse 7.
Our ignorance is the tool Satan can only use against you. Wisdom can be bought in a book .Change is proportionate to knowledge you have.
Everything in life reproduces after itself.
What is being produce from your life. Your difference reflects your importance in life. How do you see yourself and how and what you think or perceive of yourself ,poor or rich inside. Don t be a hostage to what others say and think of you or life but you are who God says you are and can be.
3 things your mind needs. It needs focus, it needs instruction and it needs a hero a mentor.Every battle in life is in the mind so manage your mind and you manage your life. The mind has 2 parts memory and imaginations and one relates to the past the other your future. Without vision my people perish.Your self portrait will determine your conduct and future .
Jeremiah said i Am a child and God shut him up and repainted for him His true portrait.
Likewise Gideon had to change his self esteem and portrait and have a true
and right focus to succeed in the battle of life .We must teach the mind to harness and filter the info it receives and follow instructions to be successful in life The mind must be taught to search out the answers.* reasons why my income will double in 12 months ,Elijah unleashed Elisha's passion. Ruth was drawn by Noami faith and personality.
We need examples in life to follow, your hero determines your energy passion,endurance experiences,faith and persistence.
Kill the snakes in your mind and pull out the weeds and you will be rewarded John 1 v 46 -Know who you are and who God is as your identity in the spirit not worldview as we are bone of his bone n flesh n one spirit joined in Christ ,Bigger better greater stronger than any things. Nothing will remain the same in Jesus name as you are clothed in Christ with the same garment of light Psalm 104. The level dimension of your life is related to the revelations of God.
My doors open ,may you soar as the eagle be broke no more infused with power prosper breakthrough see miracles as you have an encounter and revelation from God.
We are all called but unless we have an encounter there isn't any difference.
After an encounter Moses had he became a different men not just an encounter. May God give you a revelation and encounter so you become a habitation for God a sanctuary of His glory .We are living stones for His glory clothed with light and glory a living sanctuary. Lord prepare me a sanctuary pure and holy tried and true with thanksgiving I will be a living sanctuary for you.
May you be build on the revelation of God not men Mathew 16 He is the Petra we are the pet-roes Build on the rock. The world will ask you the difficult question what have and is there anything good or who is he or are you. Is there anything great in life .God loves to do something that will shock the world and use unconventional means and methods .Can anything good come out of Nazareth.
I have research those who write you off will be surprised the first will be last the last will be first.
Can anything good come out of your home family. Anyone in your family a landlord. The Lord will release a pioneer anointing that will break you out of the box and you will do the unexpected. God is going to rise you on eagles wings to new season and new things. May God cause you to manifest as talk alone is cheap. Come and see what the Lord has done Roman 8 verse 28.
Looser, blame, complain and hate but successful people have healthy attitudes and your attitude will determine your altitude in life.The change of a season in your life is determined by the company and people that are in your life .Birds of the same feather flock together and eagles are made to soar while chicken is for MacDonald or Kentucky kitchen .Blunt knife cant cut well and iron sharpens iron. We must grow and move forward and raise above to the sunlight rays by moving both the wings of prayer and praise above the clouds of doubts and fears to fly where only eagles dare and dwell. Fly high into the sky and you will see things different when you fly.
Who is your mentor teacher and to rise above and go to another level you have to be with the right people, place and purpose. Walk with the wise and you will be wise Proverb 8 verse 13. Thoughts for reflection today and be blessed.
Let our boast in the Lord.
Are you working or preaching to make a living or living your preaching and preaching your living.
Life lived is what gives power to words spoken. Listen to wise advise always from those who have done it ,been there and going somewhere. Know and find your purpose in life and the assignment will ensure Gods anointing and divine provision in due time. Be smart enough to know when the brook dries and move with the Holy Spirit. Stay humble and teachable and be not too wise and big headed for your own good and remember your source is God and His grace on your life so walk in humility that will guarantee your longevity and success always. Proverbs 6 ,says Favor, health and wealth comes through humility. Separation with isolation brings elevation.
What is Gods purpose? It is to be like Jesus conformed into the image of Jesus Roman 8 verse 28. Sunday special services we praise God forevermore for outpouring of Holy Spirit.We praise God for healings, miracles and many blessed all Glory to God.
Lessons from the prodigal in Luke 15 -Most time issues and troubles face in life is related to maturity and not demons.
God the Father is a God of Relationship and the problems of modern society, delinquency, dysfunction can be traced to relationship issues or absentee father mother.
We see also no matter of mistakes mess and the mercy of God.
Life is a privilege and the danger of misuse abuse and lost of direction as a result or purpose failing to understanding life is a choice and we can't demand and live a wasted life.
The need of mentor-ship and humility submission .We must be prepared and be ready to serve submit to face the challenges of life .
Age is one thing maturity is another. Anger hastiness is a costly price to pay.
We must pay the price to win the prize. Life has its phases process and requirements to reach your purpose ,place in life.
Our choices determine our destiny and we can't blame anyone but our need of wisdom in our decisions in life and not presume based on worldly philosophy that appears good but not God or sound but leads to disaster.
He had no long term plan and was short sighted.
Materialism and worldliness or living for the temporary pleasures pays a heavy price with worldly people or pleasures of flesh.
Examine your desires and pursuit is it Godly or worldly
Its a story of restoration.
Lost sheep carried on shoulder, Lost of leadership Government is on His shoulder.
Lost coin, Lost of finance Lost son -Inheritance legacy
story of Lazarus, Lost of the eternal supernatural kingdom,
God wants to restore all ,glory ,supernatural finance ,leadership, government ,relationship,
and inheritance .May your life find restoration like the prodigal who repented and return.
Returning Repentance leads to rest restoration.
That is your right does not make it right .It may be not the right time Does not mean what you can pay for you dont have to pray about it .Worst enemy in life is household wickedness.
The issue of the elder brother or sins of flesh or religious spirit disguised by pride jealousy envy or spiritual sins as one is as bad as other for sin is sin.
More haste last speed .
We must wait for our time and prepared. The greatest disaster is the lack of guidance submission accountability. Who advises counsel do you listen too is vital and has consequences.The difference of natural and spiritual wisdom and a need of both .
The virtues of honor humility teach ability obedience in life and having a mentor. Are you a parasite or a prodigy?
Life is change and our choices determine our destiny.
There are many faces of self.

Psalm 136 : 17-18 Let the Mercy of God release judgement on the enemies. He struck down great kings and slew famous kings for His Mercy endures forever.
John 6:63 World English Bible (WEB).
How to have dominion and power with God and of God Deut 28 v1-3,
Psalm 103 v 7, 63
It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. The word of God is spirit There is a spirit man and a flesh man.
Let us know no man after the flesh but the spirit. Know what manner of spirit you are in. A man's spirit can substain him even in sickness and we are to be strong in the spirit. Power is in the spirit and spirit is released through the word. What is the condition of your spirit. God has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love and sound mind. There is a physical birth and a spiritual birth that produces spiritual life. Original intercourse was not performance or physical but spiritual. The angel spoke and Mary was impregnated by the seed of the word and spirit.
Whose seed are you producing reproducing.
The seed of Cain was from the wicked one.
What is in a seed?
Which seed are we from?
Is it spiritual or is it flesh we are producing? Only the spirit produces and results in life. Walk in the spirit, live in the spirit, follow the spirit for the flesh profited nothing .Genesis 1 v 26-27, Genesis 5 v 2 ,Dust produces dust, flesh produces flesh and you loose dominion when you operate as dust and flesh for power is in the spirit realm and to have dominion and walk in God's image we exercise divine power we must operate in the spirit. Oil represents the spirit impartation infilling infusion. Is there oil in your vessel and what is the condition and flow of the oil in your life? Be filled with the spirit and be not drunk with wine.
Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might or spirit. Be filled with the Holy Spirit today and profit.
How do you profit You will have dominion and power to operate like God and have power with God over sickness disease devils and flesh. Flesh will only produce dust and flesh and satan the serpent eats the dust and flesh but if you operate in the spirit you don't feed the serpent and make him into a dragon but you can take dominion over devils and demons and the serpent has no power over you as you take dominion over it in the spirit realm and profit.
Is the glory on you the spirit brooding over the waters of your life to bring order beauty and peace,new life.
Where are you in the garden of God? Enter the portal of the spirit and walk away after the flesh and enter the supernatural.
Fire Holy Fire its your fire we need today ,fire Holy Fire send it down O Lord. We pray fire Holy Fire burn away ours sins and strife send it down Oh Lord we need the fire of pentecost.
Written by Rev Dr Alfred Ee.
The basis and foundation for Mercy is compassion.Mercy stems from Compassion.There is power in mercy Lamentations 3 v 2 Lord let me sing a new song because of your Mercy the mercy of God prevail over every controversy ,evil arrow, every shame ,sickness struggles Helped by God You will be helped by God in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
When children play together, sometimes they fight, but five minutes later, they are playing again. However, some ministers today hear gossip and believe it; they join the rumors and stop talking to each other. Children fight amongst themselves, but it is hard to find a child with resentment. We need to have the heart of a child, more so than we need maturity.
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” Acts 2:1-13
On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not come because the disciples of Jesus had been together praying for a long period of time. The Spirit came because Jesus said it would. He told them to wait in the Upper Room until the promise came down. He never told them to pray a certain number of days so the promise would come. He just said to tarry in the Upper Room, and all in it would receive the promise.
It does not matter if you are awake or asleep, in the streets, at home, or at church, when the Spirit of God chooses to come down, He is not going to ask anyone for permission or wait for you to fast and pray for days. He will bring you what He promised because it is His will and desire to do so.
Whatever heaven wants to give you, man cannot stop it. When God wants to visit you, He will. Just lift up your eyes and see the open heavens. He will even visit you in your own home.
Four Types of People in a Revival
1. Those who were Filled
Some say, “Someday, if this is really from God, it will happen to me.” That is a prideful attitude. Why can’t God choose the person next to you instead to have a particular experience to prove that He really is God? Why does He have to choose you, specifically? If it doesn’t happen in your church, does that mean it is not from God? Must He really choose you for it to be a declaration for the rest of the world? Rather, your attitude should be to recognize that it is from God, humble yourself, and cry out for God to touch you the same way.
2. Those who were Confused
Some things may be confusing to our natural mind, but that doesn’t mean it is not of God.
What you don’t know or understand will confuse you. But, at the end of the day, who truly understands God and the move of His Spirit?
You use a microwave every day. Do you understand how it works? You hope the airplane will fly, but do you even know how to turn on the motor? Why, then, do you feel it necessary to understand your Creator? No one questions science, but if the Holy Spirit knocks someone to the ground or does something you don’t understand, then why think it can’t be God? If you can accept a human doctor to examine your body with invasive procedures, in the name of science, then why don’t you allow God, your Creator, to do as He wishes with you, in the name of His kingdom?
3. Those who were in Awe
The first time I saw people laughing uncontrollably in church, I heard an elderly lady say that those people were possessed. So I went to God and asked Him about it. God replied: “Since when are demons able to give what they don’t have?” They do not have joy or happiness; they cannot give that. Demons don’t live in happy torment. They live in torment, and God is the only one that can give you joy and also deliver you from every torment!
4. Mockers
Those who mocked simply accused others of being drunk. The anointing can do whatever it pleases; whenever and with whomever it wants. So forget what others might say or think; forget your titles and reputation and just remember that you are a child of God. Allow the Holy Spirit to pour Himself into your Spirit, and receive the promise of God over your life.

Gideon replied, “With me, my master? If GOD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracle-wonders our parents and grandparents told us about, telling us, ‘Didn’t GOD deliver us from Egypt?’ The fact is, GOD has nothing to do with us—he has turned us over to Midian.” But GOD faced him directly: “Go in this strength that is yours. Save Israel from Midian. Haven’t I just sent you?” Gideon said to him, “Me, my master? How and with what could I ever save Israel? Look at me. My clan’s the weakest in Manasseh and I’m the runt of the litter.” GOD said to him, “I’ll be with you. Believe me, you’ll defeat Midian as one man.” Gideon said, “If you’re serious about this, do me a favor: Give me a sign to back up what you’re telling me. Don’t leave until I come back and bring you my gift.” He said, “I’ll wait till you get back.” Gideon went and prepared a young goat and a huge amount of unraised bread (he used over half a bushel of flour!). He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and took them back under the shade of the oak tree for a sacred meal. The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and unraised bread, place them on that rock, and pour the broth on them.” Gideon did it. The angel of GOD stretched out the tip of the stick he was holding and touched the meat and the bread. Fire broke out of the rock and burned up the meat and bread while the angel of God slipped away out of sight. And Gideon knew it was the angel of God! Gideon said, “Oh no! Master, GOD! I have seen the angel of God face-to-face!” But GOD reassured him, “Easy now. Don’t panic. You won’t die.” Then Gideon built an altar there to GOD and named it “GOD’s Peace.” It’s still called that at Ophrah of Abiezer.
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.To deny the power is contradict or controversy in our words and actions to the word.
We want the power but we don t pray or forgive and love our brethren but allow offences and the flesh to dominate and is led astray by vagarious passions .We are to demonstrate the power not always learning and never experience the reality of the power but traditions. Are we feeding the intellect but the spirit is empty. Is it about the Greek and Hebrews definitions or the demonstration of the Power that is manifested.
Is it having information knowledge alone or revelation knowledge and passion releasing the power of God that is substituted. We have theories philosophy doctrines but are we preaching the gospel of the kingdom and manifesting the power of God. Are we exalting a seeker friendly gospel only and the flesh or preaching in the demonstration of Power of God or denying the power of God.
2corinthians 4 : 10-18 Truth always operates in the eternal. Power belongs to God but truth before times always sometimes seems to be like a lie but God changes not as He has spoken once but twice.
He is a God of power. Love sound mind has God lost His power or we lost it.
We were made to reflect His glory dominion kingdom and power.
May His kingdom come His will be done and His power be revealed.
Adam in Eden operated in tremendous power and was the god of this world until he lost the power and he named everything around him before he lost dominion.
Gen 1 v 26 men was made. Gen 2 v 7 God formed men what men is in the passage ,natural or spiritual.
Power and dominion is in the spirit realm not natural. Power operates from the spirit. Develop build up the spirit men feed and be strong in the spirit. Power is in the spirit of God but the flesh will fail. The power is in the spirit men .It is the spirit that quickened the flesh profited nothing.
God is a word and His word is life and spirit watch and know the power of your word and spirit .Everything create His a word. Life and death is in the word.
The I am even named Adam after the word.
You are a spirit being and given God dominion like
I AM. Know you have creative power in your word as you are created in His image and likeness. Don't take His name I am in vain. Let the weak say I am strong. Delivered strong the blessed, the lender not the borrower, the head not the tail and speak the word like God, not our doubts fears or unbelief and manifest His power Psalm 8 , Psalm 82. The spirit needs a body to manifest power. The devil has power but no authority on planet earth legally to operate unless he finds a body that will yield to him. Jacob was able to defeat the angel because he knew his authority and dominion and rule the earth.
What men did God give dominion too. The men in Genesis 1 not 2. The weapons of our warfare is not against the flesh and the enemy keeps you in the flesh so he rules but when you die to the flesh and deal with it in the spirit the devil must flee as you submit to God and resist him in the spirit and like the eagle fight him in the air not on the earth realm The battle struggle conflict issue is spiritual. Power is in the word and spirit.
Take dominion in the spirit and word.
If you stand with God the devil will stand against you. Acts 4 v 25-27 The disciples were persecuted not for breaking the law but working miracles and preaching the resurrection power of God .Nothing shakes hell as the display of the power and glory of God. The world will stand against you but if God be for us who can be against you. Miracles caused the religious authorities to retaliate and undermine the work of God. God has not expired The Miracle Power aroused the power of the devil and opposition and all hell breaks loose against the Apostles. The devil fears the miracle power of God and seeks to stop it's flow. God has not lost His power today. He still is God by Himself and Heals works Miracles today John 11 v 52-54. Every miracle results in trouble and attacks with consequences of plots threats intimidation. There are three kinds of people Fools wicked and wise. The fool says there's no God. The fear of God is wise. Those who comes to God must believe God is not God was that He is unchanging, uncreated.
Creator Elohim God of Glory and Miracle working Power John 12 v 9. How vicious is the attack as the religious authorities don't want the people to believe in God's miracles and God's servant who was anointed with Power. The gospel is not just words and talk but Power. Praise God forevermore as God poured out His spirit and a lady testified that on hearing the word her deaf ear was opened and she was healed. Many committed themselves to a deeper walk of faith and all glory to God forevermore.
Joseph fought his brethen ,potiphars wife accusation and his reputation character and potiphar representing the Government of his day who were anti supernatural.
Jesus was the greatest expression of perfection but the crowd says crucify Him. The wicked cannot discern the truth and is bend on evil. May we be wise and not be fooled. The wise live consistent to the scriptures that if Gods says it than that settles it for what looks seems impossible is possible never be intimidated by what they say for the devil is a liar. The wise stay motivated and press forward and trust the miracle power of God.
The natural man cannot receive the things of God. Our faith does not rest on the wisdom of men but the power of God. Faith in God releases the supernatural and miracles. It is Time to believe in Gods supernatural power. It is no crime to do so John 12 v 9. The world is diametrically oppose and wants to discredit the miracle power of God and resist the supernatural as it is operating in the natural realm and flesh not spirit. God has not expired and not lost any of His power.
Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might (Kratos)1 corinthians 2 v 9. What is Paul speaking about here?
What is the context?
What is written who says and wrote it? It was settled documented. What is God saying today and does the word apply to us also today? Its referring to the move of God that has no reference to the flesh. It's a challenge to your faith. God wants to do something eyes have not seen, ears have not heard or perceived by natural men and flesh realm.
What is the reality today is what men can conceive. What about what God will do? Tradition, rationalism, secularism and liberalism has nullified the spiritual realities for the intellect and what can be rationalised and is an enemy to the move of God or supernatural. Unbelief is another potent enemy that numbs our senses because we try to make sense and master God with our mind and the seen. Wrong beliefs doctrine, humane limitations seeks to limit God too. Passivity and negativism is another enemy to the supernatural.
Divine sovereignty does not exclude humane responsibility. We are at war and the violent take it by force. Bible speaks of the working of miracles. May God help us from unbelief and passivity and negativism. Ignorance is not bliss but blister. Natural knowledge verse supernatural revelation illumination knowledge or facts verses truth. Ignorance hinders us in the working of Miracles.
Being academically qualified verses spiritually illuminated is different. Satan and the devil forces seeks to discredits the miracles of God by fear suspicions and denial .Where there is God the supernatural is evident and seen.
If nothing happens what is the evidence of God's presence. The apostolic ministry is confirmed with signs wonders and miracles .Talk along is cheap .The system of the world media only majors on the mistakes and negative .The passivity of the elect is worse than the devil. We are our greatest enemy. We need the power of the Holy Spirit and we must act fight and lay hold of faith and God's power. Not everything is the will of God. Jesus said can you not watch with me for an hour? We want impartation but we don't want to pay the price but want the prize .Fight the good fight of faith and wait upon the Lord. May God renew your strength give power to you as we enter a new season. May we see who our God is? We are more concerned by what people say instead of what God says. God has not changed .Elohim God is the uncreated creator who exists by Himself and who speaks the word and it comes to pass who is unlimited bigger than big a miracle working God. You cant be defeated no matter what. A thousand may fall on your side but you will arise and mount up with wings of eagle.
The people who know their God will be strong and do exploits. May we perceive who our God is.

Devotion for your reflection. May your spiritual umbilical cord be linked to a covenant relationship your men of God and may you see the manifestation of His glory and power.
There are levels of levels or dimensions of ministry we operate in as ministers and the power anointing glory is in relation to the covenant relationship association and its depth and the depth of your personal covenant with God.
To operate in a high level of power we must go deeper than deep as the waters can be ankle knee waist and a river to swim or dive in.
You may have the ocean but when you are immersed into and by the ocean having you its a different dimension. There is 30 fold, 60 fold, hundred fold or overflow of the level of power spirituality and glory. Understanding the covenant enables us to see the manifestation of God today. There is more than 12 covenants There is the first the covenant of salvation ,the covenant of healing, the covenant of prosperity, the covenant of the divine blood that delivers from the water less pit,the old covenant, the new covenant, the adamic covenant, the noahic covenant, the mosaic covenant, the Abraham covenant, the mosaic covenant ,solo manic covenant,Davidic covenant ,Palestinian covenant,Josephic covenant and a better covenant based on better promises.
Stand strong and do not allow a pollution of your covenant against your covenant relation by the enemy's accusation and distraction. Your power is dependent on the covenant you have with your relationship to your spiritual Father. Guard your altar and may no men or devil may break distract pollute your covenant relationship. May you be like Elisha and Elijah who had a covenant relationship, no accusation could deter or separate but be firm rooted in your covenant relationship and spirit. May the God of Elijah Who answers by fire answer you too.

Any humane gates hindering stopping you shall be pull down, pull out and obliterated this day.
We speak to the gates be lifted up and cast away that stands in the way.
Let the gates open up so the doors be open Acts 16, Psalm 24 Peter knocked at the door as he came out of the gate.
Rhoda do not open the door and may God give you someone who will open the door. Break out from limitations.
Shemei means famous, great people but limited. Where shemei is restricted in Jerusalem it is so he can be monitored, limited, hindered and restricted yet with potential and living below your level and greatness.
May God break all restrictions, limitations, monitoring spirits and condition. A protocol that brings your miracle be released.
Every embargo be lifted, removed and cancelled from your life.
Every foundational issues be terminated and erased in Jesus name.
Greatness has a character Ezekiel 1 v 2,3 & 10 .Captive at river chebbar and heavens opened. The hand of the Lord was upon him. Four faces of a man, a lion, ox and eagle.
The identity of greatness. Greatness has a character and identity.
Your character today is your prophecy of your future. Chebbar means greatness. He was around greatness but he was in captivity and cant access the greatness in spite of the contacts qualifications etc. You shall access the greatness and come out of the setbacks and captivity. When there is a will there is a way and you must break through the barriers to greatness.
Man is the humane side or compassion is needed for expansion. We live in a very self centred world and society. The face of a men speaks of the need of compassion, unselfishness not self centredness and selfishness.
Me first and we dont really care Jesus was touched with the feelings of our infirmities.
Face of lion speaks of Psalm 28 v1 boldness, courage and faith.
God has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love and sound mind to confront opposition.
All the fearful shall be in the lake of fire.
A thousand shall fall on your side but nothing can harm you. He gives power to the faint. You shall walk and not faint.
He that keep Israel neither sleep nor slumber.
Do not be afraid.
Your mentality determines your locality. A bold person is confident and he knows something.
As a men thinks so is he. Every symptom is a mental suggestion looking for a verbal agreement. Be bold be strong agree with the word over above the facts, feelings, flesh and natural situation, sickness, adversity, marriage, mind, finance and say boldly I am free. The righteous is bold as a lion.
Righteousness empowers boldness.
Lifestyle empowers you for your future. The ox is known for strength, determination and perseverance so never give up.
Breastplate of righteousness shield sword no armour at back so dont quit or give up or run. Persevere be persistance and try again. Do not let the trouble of life hinder your limit but move forward.
The face of an eagle speaks of the supernatural vision purpose. Do you have a heavenly vision? Greatness begins with a vision.
Your dream will produce the greatness and platform for your future.
A short and long term vision both essential.
Your vision will come to pass. A new beginning grace for the fulfilment of my vision and empowerment.
MESSAGE ON CHARACTERISTICS OF A LEADER
Message on characteristics of A Leader shared at Tawau and transcrib.The Book of Romans encompasses a whole spectrum of Christian beliefs. “There are five basic doctrines in the book,” he said. First, is the doctrine of condemnation (Romans 1), second is the doctrine of justification (Romans 3:21-5:21), third is the doctrine of sanctification (Romans 5:2-8:13), fourth is doctrine of glorification (Romans 8:28-30) and lastly, doctrine of consecration (Romans 12).
“The Book of Romans has tremendous impact on many key people,” he said, referring to examples such as St Augustine in the 4th Century. He came from a wealthy family; he was the prodigal son and a playboy of his time. But the seed was already sown in his early years by his parents. They have never given up. “He changed by reading the Book of Romans. The Word of God, “the just shall live by faith,” spoke to him.
Many others were impacted by the Book of Romans, including Martin Luther, John Bunyan, and John Wesley. The Book of Romans is significant and powerful. “Once you understand the five doctrines, it can change our lives.”
The first chapter in the Book of Romans has three parts. The first part tells about Paul the man, verse 1-16. He is a born servant and his main message in verse 16 tells that he is not ashamed of the gospel.
“God’s method has always been the man. God uses men as instruments,” he said. It’s the man who makes the message. First was the message, then the man of God. The making of the man of God is important, it takes time.
“I’m called to equip the saints,” Rev Ee said, stating titles aren’t wrong. In the 90s and 2000s, many are called apostles. We got the message, but the character is wrong. We put titles upon ourselves. The purpose of the fivefold ministry is to bring unity.
Saints and apostles are in the forefront. They are a threat to the devil. When we put titles and position ourselves, that’s why we don’t see the movement of the Holy Spirit. Are we there to present ourselves or promote Christ? Paul said, ‘I am a born servant.’ As a servant, we must be mastered by something or someone. Paul is totally submissive; he is sold out to Jesus Christ. Are you a servant of God?
Second, he was called. This means set aside for a special assignment. “All of us have an assignment and purpose,” he said. “When you are set apart for the right assignment, the anointing will be there.” When God said something or assigned you, miracles happen. The principle works where God has assigned you. There’s a miracle touch.
Third, he was separated unto the gospel of Jesus Christ. In verse 2 and 3, Paul is saying he is not inventing the gospel. Jesus is in the Old Testament. Christian faith is in the Old Testament and it’s prophetic. In Verse 3, as a human nature, Jesus is described as the seed of David, the man. Jesus is fully God and fully man. He was functioning as a man.
Romans chapters’ 1-8 show how God redeemed us as human beings. “It is the plan and will of God in redeeming man in spirit, soul and body.”
In chapters 9-11, redemption was illustrated. What God has done in the nation of Israel is used as an example of how God works redemption. This is what faith is about.
Romans 12-16 are practical chapters. It shows how to apply chapters 1-12 in our relationships (chaps. 13-14), our attitudes and how to examine ourselves in our daily living.
The Book of Romans was not written while Paul was in prison, but in Corinth. The book tells on the dependence on the Holy Spirit, and to imitate Christ. Paul was an obedient servant. He was a thankful Christian, “In all things give thanks.”
Caption 138
He’s a serving Christian. Today people just want self-benefit. “Serving God there has to be sacrifice. Sacrifice is part of serving God,” he said. Do you serve God if it’s inconvenient?
Purpose gives you power for today and to face the future when trouble comes. In Acts 21, God calls Paul to Rome. He prayed unceasingly. The will of God is important and the enemy seeks to hinder this. “God guide me in your plans; I yield and submit to you.” Paul landed in Rome through unceasing prayer.
Why did Paul want to go to Rome? To impart spiritual gift (chapter 1 verse 11), to stay encourage and be an encourager (verse 12). “Be with the people who encourage. The number one killer in life is discouragement,” he said. In verses 14-15, Paul is a man who is obligated to share the gospel.
Be ready, focus on God. These are the seven characteristics of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need preparation of our hearts and minds because Jesus is coming again.
“This year God is looking into hearts of His children. Those who understand their obligation, reach out and share,” he said, as he called for prayer and healing.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTS SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS
To be born into a poor family may be destiny but to die and stay poor is an error. Who you marry also can define you.
If love is blind marriage will open your eyes. Love isn't blind .To live in the fear of God is vital to a healthy relationship. We choose and decide our destiny in God not the whims and slings of life.
God's sovereignty doesn't exclude humane responsibility. Foreknowledge of God does not mean predestined.
We by our choice can determine our destiny and future in God.
Why relationships are at conflict?
Four things vital to healthy relationship - Fear of God Comparability ,purpose , love and honor. Incompatibility ,purpose,
fear of God and love determines success or issues in marriage and relationships generally.
Two different understanding become misunderstanding.
When people who love you dont love you anymore it is because you have outgrown them so dont fret but move on.
Faith is the highway to a world of excellence and exploits. Exploits are record making breaking setting results which enable you to do what is never ever done. Faith is the partnership of humanity and divinity to do the impossibility.
Faith is the spiritual key weapon to the uprooting mountains and leveling obstacles. Faith is the key of access to your inheritance.
Through faith and patience you inherit the promises of God you have yet to start. Faith is the spiritual tool for supernatural construction. By faith the world's were created.
Faiths enables to do the unbelievable and brings into exsistance what has never been build .

Uzziah tried to help God and in his own strength to prevent the ark from falling backfired because it was men's way not God and got him in trouble .
Gen 15 v 8 .Do not break covenant .God keeps covenant and He enters covenant by Himself so even when men fails God's will prevails .
1 kings 18 v 36 Elijah called upon the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and brought down fire.
When God shows His face the enemy must run tail and leave the place or be consumed .How Abraham related with God. It's never too late to receive a turnaround or change even when time is passing. It's not over until God says it's over even at 75 years of age. God doesn't look at chronological age but His promise and kairos time .God's timing is perfect. Mark 2- Faith causes God to intervene and interrupts time.
Even if we deny Him, He doesn't deny Himself for the promises is true and His covenant. He will not break His word shall come to pass by faith irrespective of age time. Abraham understood the blessing of Abraham Gen 14 v 19-20 .Elevation Possession Dominion are 3 blessings of Abraham in the realm of the spirit.
Gal 3 v 13-14 We cannot reason the promises of God by our own efforts reason or ways.
Abraham was a friend of God. He avoided strife let there be no strife between you and me our herdsmen. It was the servants that had issues so do not enter into battles not your concern. Servants quarrel but masters live in peace ,only servants fight. You get into the bottom of the issue you also follow into the bottom. Lot choose the well watered seemingly but lost out. The blessing was with Abraham.
Strife causes you to make wrong decisions when you enjoy benefit and you become arrogant you will loose the benefits and return to where you came from. Avoid strife let them win. Gen 18 Gen 19 Divine visit but where there is strife divine visitors left depart.

May we operate under an open heaven. Every time heaven opens something ascend and descend. When the Heavens is closed not open you work like elephant and reap like ants ,you suffer unnecessary delay and you swim in constant lack and poverty ,your fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit is breached broken.
Acts 12 v 14 Rhoda did not open the door and gate. Before you experience an open heaven to get access to house you must go through the gates and door. Who has locked the gate? What is it that stands between you and access to an open heavens is the locked gates and doors. Every excited Rhoda who have closed the gates may they open the gates as they can make you loose millions who are sincere by their mistakes. Open thy head oh you gates .

Word for today and revelation for your spirit 1sam 16 v 15. 2 kings 5 v 6 ( Connection spiritual connection matters )
Deut 8 v 18, 2Chron 20v 20 Spiritual prosperity is vital than material.
How can a demon enter and torment a king who was once anointed by God himself and won victories fulfilled Gods purposes.
The same space that was once occupied by the Lord once vacated is replaced
and controlled by a contrary spirit. We are either controlled motivated by the Holy Spirit leading guiding making the choices or a different spirit.
Never disconnect from the Lord and who you connect with is very important. Saul lost touch with God when he lost touch with Samuel the prophet.There are people God placed in your life to speak to your life and the moment you loose touch with God you open to another source and spirit. We must have divine connection from God.
Your connection matters .When you are spiritually connected you have a source that will not fail and God is in control under the anointing.
There is a sound and smell when one is under the control of the Holy Spirit or another spirit.
May the favor and flavour of God be on you. Who are you connected to spiritually will also influence effect impact and ooze out from you in your life ministry business and future.Let the spirit man affect the natural physical man. Whatever is our job you have a divine calling by God in your area of business and ministry. How is the power that belongs to God released prayerlessness is sin 1sam12v23.
How do we hear and know the voice and will of God or 20 ways that God speaks to you or us -
(1)His word is His voice and will,
(2) Peace,
(3) dreams and (4) visions,(5) inner witness , still small voice,our quickened spirit ,(6)similes symbols or pictures,
(7),circumstances environment,
(8)gut feeling deep impression,(suspicions verses impression not confusion - spirit is pure) Acts 27-Paul impression not to sail ,voice of captain ,centurion,whose voice the captain listened to :(10) prophecy, (11) 5 fold ministry God uses to speak to us, (12) Creation ,(13) audible voice eg when God speaks to Samuel,
We need the word revealed to you that is the voice of God not just the logos but the revealed, a word of the spirit through the spirit by the spirit will bring manifestation and miracle,wrong doctrines brings unbelief, we need sound doctrine to hear correctly and bring unity strength and blessings,
2 cor 12 v 12,
(14) Your enemies -He anoints me in the presence of my enemies.
Your enemies is bread or food,God will arise and your enemies will be scattered,(15) Godly counsel,
(16) Open or closed doors is a way also God speaks to us,
(17) tongues and interpretation of tongues ,(18) unexpected surprises,(19) our friends,your wife or husband,humility
(20) The place of Gods assignment purposes and timing. You can be assured of God's will if you lived and walked in submission obedience to God's purposes. Develop and sharpen your spirit men to discern the will and voice of God.

IN THE STORMS OF LIFE
In the storms of life it always seems that all hope is gone. But in the dire situations there are 4 anchors in the sea of life. There is the anchor of morality ,we say no God no need of God thus society is in the state it is in an epidemic because we cut our anchors. I will do my own thing what have we cut loose that cause us to drift in the sea of life. The first institution God started was the family in the beginning and if Satan can destroy it he can destroy society.
The first miracle was at the wedding at Cana of Galilee .We have cast morality to the wind thus we have the problems today. The home is the place respect, honor, accountability and responsibility is taught. Children obey your Father and mother.
Wives be a helper not a knife. There is divine order. The devil divide causes strife to separate families but love overcome .
When men and women family stand together nothing can steal God's blessings.
Guard your home and family ,and the men is the head to guide guard take care of the family.There must be order in home, discipline in the family .
Correction, discipline isn't abuse or harsh .We must respect authority .and cannot just run wild .Mean what you say and say what you mean.
If we sow to the wind we will reap the whirlwind.
Love overcomes submit forgives . .Lets not cast out the anchor of Gods word as our foundation but return to the word of God .
There are still absolutes morals values truth.
When we stray from the word life is a mess .Thy word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path and the entrance of thy word gives life .The word of God is profitable for correction, instruction, reproof , righteousness and revelation .
Whether you believe or not the word of God is truth and reveals to you your destiny eternity and road map standard compass in life to live a strong good life .
2 Timothy 3 v -perilous times men lover of themselves covetousness, greed ,disobedient un-thankful no self control despises of good ,lovers of pleasures religious having form of religion tradition but deny the power there of . Romans 1 v 18-19 Men changed God's glory to earthly realm and dishonor or suppress the truth ,changed thus men is in a dilemma confused dysfunction hate boasters covenant breakers brutal loose natural affection senselessness.
WE have to choose in the power of God or devil ?
No matter how good it sounds if it contradicts the word it is error and deception .The devil wants men to live wrong and contradict the word be self deceived in word and deed Love reconciles not separates .
Acts 27 - Are you going through a midnight hour of your life? Thank God for the anchors that can keep us in the storm of life. If you live long enough you will face the storms but may you not crush in the rocks and cut loose your anchors of life. You can hold and live in tranquility in the storms of life. The 3rd anchor is the Church. God's house the universal body of Christ.
By one spirit are we baptized into one body by one spirit .He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit .Sheep needs a shepherd. The local church is the sheepfold.
Psalm 23 God is our Father, shepherd, guide, provider and protector.
Acts 1 v 8 All authority power is given to the Church.
Psalm 8 - Lastly is the anchor of God's unchanging Love Romans 8.
There is a hell to shun a heaven to gain Psalm 138 v 7-9 God will never abandon us though we are surrounded with trouble and save you.

Food for thoughts reflection to your destination and fulfillment.
Better be slow and sure than fast and fall. Stay in your lane when you are inferior and the original comes you will be intimidated.
Do not compete but complete.
Do not strive or get into strife or trouble arises.
To struggle be in debt is not worth the stress.Be contend and wait on Gods time. The road that leads nowhere is compete and compare. Just run your own race.
Proverbs 28 v 19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of silver and he that follow after vain person shall have poverty enough.How does poverty come? Whats a poverty spirit .(1) poverty by inheritance , (2) poverty by ignorance, (3) poverty by association, ( 4 ) poverty by folly and sore need of wisdom or living beyond your means faith level.
( 5 ) Poverty by lack of a good heart in giving.
A good heart is a giving heart. Do not be greedy and lazy .A good man brings out of his heart good what is in your heart and mind.
A generous men is a prosperous man. Let your heart and seed that you sow speak on your behalf and God speak for you.
Give because you love God not manipulate but you express your love for God by giving the best as he leads. Complete faith that is real faith doesn't doubt or question God in your heart .The measure you give is the measure you will receive.
( 6 ) Stingy people die poor in heart soul and physically .It is certain as we brought nothing into this world we also be sure we leave this world so what are we living for and where do we place our trust.
What shall a man gain if he gains the whole world but looses his soul.
What is more precious than the gold, the land,
the wealth but Faith that is tried purer than gold real faith that causes the devil to tremble, mountains to be moved, demons to be cast out, blind to see, deaf to hear, the dead raised and real pure faith,
money cannot purchase alone worth more than the weight of gold or diamond.( 7 ) Poverty and divinity cannot dwell together within. - Poverty is decline in any dimension of life when God created the world he provided everything in plenty and abundance not lack The key to unlock divine overflow is giving heart to overcome the spirit of poverty lack decline never enough . Poverty because of attitude and lack of vision purpose perseverance or negativity thinking . Before Roger Banister the 4 minute mile was an impossibility they say medically by the so called experts .Roger Banister was born with a disease that would incapacitate him for life as diagnosed with another person both were pronounced they were doomed to die just a matter of time because of a disease that has no cure as none has survived who had that disease virus . He didn't come from a rich but poor family and in natural he couldn't afford to go to university in the natural but he determined to overcome train and win a sports scholarship and got into St Mary university top medical school study medicine neuro science Through hard work he overcome entered Olympics didn't win gold but silver but persevere aim higher believed he will excel his dream to greater heights which he went on to achieved despite odds .It was not a perfect day when he ran as the weather was cold wind strong but he went into the race and did the impossible making it possible. Faith real faith is so vital today as a seed to break poverty and see Gods grace, goodness and blessings We must pay the price sacrifice sometimes to release the prize believer practice this principle and see blessings.
2 Kings 4 may wealth, greatness & blessings flow as we rise to higher ground over above beggarly elements attitudes.Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you .
Why Samson failed he had charisma but lack character
He was betrayed and rejected by his own family, friends and people.
He lost his focus and vision.
He was not careful and careless taking things too lightly.
He was exhausted and had depleted his strength.
He struggled with lust that entered through hurt and rejection.
He was full of self contentedness and glory.
But thank God his hair began to grow and strength returned and vision renewed and he killed more when he died and prayed.
Be restored, be renewed and refresh with a renewed vision and strength.

Why is prayers hindered ?
1)family discord or disharmony 1Peter3verses7,
2)unforgiveness
Mark 11verses 23-25,
3) condemnation not sure of Gods will
1John5 verse 14-15,
1John3 verse 12-15,
4) selfish motives
James4 verse3,
5)Turning from bible ,no word
Proverbs28 verse 9 ,
6) unconfessed sins hinder prayers
Psalm66 verse 18,
7)doubt unbelief
James1 verse 5-7 ,
8)satan demonic interferences eg Daniel Paul Let nothing hinder your prayers be persistent and press into His will for your life
Luke 18 verses 1 and prevail in your persistent prayers. The root of poverty is fear. Fear distorts and faith clarifies.Fear causes us to hide. Retreat Love enables but fear disables. It is hard to brew a cup of coffee in darkness or fear .There are all kinds of phobias that causes us to be extreme and negative.
Just as fear takes us to the extreme of a false reality but love motivates and edifies. Love begets love and fear begets fear and we must be aware and create not fear but love. Fear deceives and lies confuses but truth sets free. For God has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love, and sound mind.
Perfect love cast out all fears. Fear attacks and attacks sickness disease in mind and body. Proverb 12 v 25 anxiety is a work of the flesh but kindness love overcomes it .Anxiety is what wears a mens heart down but a kind word lifts us up. Fear not Don't be a victim of fear but overcome fear a feeling of uselessness. Anxiety to believe a lie. Understand your self talk and delete the playlist of fear, anxiety and fill it with love. Every great leader had to face fear and overcome fear refusing to be a victim but be a victor to be bold strong and courageouse.God is the strength of our lives and His might makes great. His power gives us strength. All we need is one word from the Lord. The lord is my light and salvation whom shall I fear Psalm 27 v 1. Fear causes us to manifest arrogance or false humility. Confidence has everything to do in the inside Psalm 46 v 1.
God is our refuge and strength the ever present help in time of trouble. Psalm118 v7. The Lord is with me I will not be afraid. He is my helper. Let the Lord into your mind's the battlefield become the blessing field in your life.
Its amazing when Jesus was in a storm he didn't panic or wake up but the fear of the disciples woke Him up because of fear. Jesus could sleep in the midst of the storm why because he had no fear he could sleep in the storm. May we be able to sleep in the storm when the saviour is sleeping in and with you and walk above the storm. The law of love is the royal law and it will conquer the fears of life.
Roman 8 Nothing can separate you from the love of Gods unfailing Love As we love God and ourself His love conquers all fears I am loved so I can love You are deeply loved, highly favoured, greatly blessed in Christ Jesus for He loves us with an everlasting love that doesn't fail. Enter the terminal of His love and exit the terminal of fear and may perfect love control, motivate enable us through His love and be enriched. Don't let fear rob you and shut you down. Refuse and reject fear as the currency for trade and in your mind and renew your mind. The Lord is with you. He is the stronghold of your life.
Be not afraid. Kick fear out of the lockdown and set yourself free because of the presence of the Father you can breakout .God is bigger than your fear as He loves us and we don't have to stay locked by fear but move forward in faith The law of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death or fear. Remain in Love in Christ we overcome fear, sin, sickness and death. The world Guard your mind and heart and feed on walking in love not fear or lend your ear, mind and heart to Love not fear as your reality. Listen to the right voice not fear that intimidates exaggerates aneliates but the voice of love reconciles uplifts builds up.
Why no Miracles? Depending on your concept and Understanding Gods ways, principles and faith dynamics . Fear, lack of illumination revelation, wrong confession, lost vision, lost hope ,tradition ,religion, perfectionalism, legalism, passivity, negativism, curses, witchcraft, rationalism, idolatry, false doctrine cause people become discourage give up, quit their faith, miss their Miracles and the supernatural.
Samson was strong and operated in the supernatural powerfully until he lost vision and purpose was blind. Dont let anything and the devil steal your purpose vision and faith in life.
Thoughts for reflections today :
The Bible says let not your mind and heart be shaken by word or spirit : if a word can shake us, our foundation is still soft and we need to move to higher ground so no word or spirit can trouble us .
The mind is the first battleground where vain or fruitless futile deceptions suspicions or evil weaves its webs to deceive and cause confusion deception and lies about our circumstances situation and people to cause problems thinking good is evil and evil is good and who is against us is the enemy that we confuse our friends as enemies and enemies as friends.
Pulling down those vain imaginations with clear discernment is a first step to liberty peace and tranquillity that defeats the enemy of your dream.
May you have clear insight and thinking.God gives us good godly thoughts and the devil throws you bad ones, so discern between the two what is the source and you are on your way to victory.
Cast down the vain imaginations today and live in liberty.Choose to think God's thoughts and word and you will experience bliss and have power over the devil. Faith is our response to God's grace and His grace is more than enough whatever your situation is if your thinking lines up with Him and His word.
Psalm 107 v 2
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We are what we say. If you say you cant you limit and shut down the door to your blessings by negativity impossibility. Faith says what Gods say that God is good and all things is possible and that God will do what He says. What are you saying by your words and life?
If you say it is impossible you shut your own doors. You shall live and not die so choose life and walk in the light.
Faith is a spirit and speak speaks says what God say. God's word in your mouth is the same as God's word in God's mouth.
By Faith Heb 11 v 17- 19 Abraham obeyed offered Isaac as God said and received his miracle when he did what God said to do. And God came through because of heart faith and he spoke with his heart believing.
Faith is a knowing you are fully persuaded like Abraham and give God thanks before you see.
The lame will walk,
the deaf will hear, the blind will see tumors will disappear and you are in miracle land today.
God is the God of miracles and of the now and Faith is now. Faith is not was or will be but now for today for He is the great I am not I was or will be. But Now He is all you need so.
Let the redeemed say whatever you say called the name of the beast it shall be Genesis 2 v 19 Adam named all the animals by the spoken word and he had dominion by speaking. You shall speak and it shall be as you say what God says too.
What will the redeemed say today and contend with. Speak to every creature in your life and may divine order be ordered.
What faith is Paul say examine yourself if you be in faith or presumption.
Is your faith real faith or flesh or fake.
Life and death is in the power of your tongue.
So use your mouth to speak the word and say what God says. He will do now.
He is a miracle working God so why despair when you can repair. Why despair when God cares.
Why complain be pessimistic negative when You can Praise and see the prison doors open and pray.
Speak to the mountain how Big your God is not how big you problem is.
Let mountain moving faith arise.
May the lion of Judah roar.
Faith is a gift of God Ephesian 2 v 8,9 May God deposit you the gift of faith. Romans 12 v 3 all have the measure of Faith so use it, release it, develop it from faith to Faith.
Let it be strong.
Great faith not weak by using the measure of your faith no matter how small. Even if its like the grain of a mustard seed speak to the mountain of your life be removed.
2Cor 4 v 13 May the spirit of faith arise.
1 John 4 v 17 Psalm 46 v 1,
1 Corinthian 10 verse 13 ,
Mark 4 v 37,Job 5 v 7,
Job 5 v19,14 v1
Psalm 22 v 11,
2kings 19 v 3,
Isaiah 37 v 3 ,
Job 3v 26, Luke 10 v 41 Martha was troubled about many things ,Psalm 34 v 6 Acts 16 v 19 - A new level brings you a new devil and if it is your desire to make impact troubles storms come. Intimacy with God reduces the effect of the storm so long as Jesus is with you in the boat.
In the storms of life you see a new dimension and revelation of God that doesn't comes by fasting and prayer but the storms of life. Jesus went through the storms just for the gadarene demonic.
Storms will drive you to your island of destiny.
Your greatest battle is not the storm of life but your fears .Your greatest enemy is fear and panic makes you forget who God is.
Who is your God the one who hangs the universe over nothing, raise the dead, walks on water, shut the mouths of lions, quench the violence of fire who creates all things by the word of His power, open prison doors ,we forget who God is because of the evil bad report but God's word is sharper and powerful and creative able to work miracles. Panic cause you to forget God's everlasting love for you. Does God care? They asked in the storm. Where and who is your God? Jesus sleeps in the storm. How and why He was resting in the assurance of God's goodness and love with no panic or fear. So can you in your heart trust in His love, goodness and rest in the storm without fear.
Let the love of God cast out all fears in Jesus name.
In the times of trouble when it seems to get you down all your friends and love ones who dont seem to be found when all your friends can't be found. If your heart is broken just lift your hands and say no matter what may come my way my life is in Your hands. No matter what may come my way, my life is in Your hands. I know I can make it. I know I can stand when life can't see the way. Jesus You are my friend. Lord help me to see things as You see them.
God does not sleep nor slumber. He was at rest though in His humanity He appears seems to be asleep.
May God arise. Lord help me to see things as You see them how so at peace You are in the midst of the storm in spirit at rest.
Whatever you are going through nothing can alter God's love for you and me.
Doctors will tell you if you have hand , head, body problems you can resolve. Solve but if its in the heart no medicine is potent enough. When fear panic troubles enter into the heart so let not your heart be troubled beleive in God. God's silence is not His absence. Sometimes He is the God who hides Himself .Isaiah 45 v 15.
God is in the storm with you in the boat all the time always remember.
Whatever fire you are in He is in the fire. The fourth man who was with Daniel in the fire is with you in you for you.
Dont forget who you are no matter what the storms or trouble you face in life.
Fear is the greatest enemy you must conquer. Levels of fear and faith and to the
degree that fear controls our lives than evil has dominion. Whatever is not of faith is sin.
As He is so are we in this world joint heirs in Christ and perfect love cast out all fear.
We are in love or in fear and fear is tormenting .There is a battle that rages in the soul of men and the enemy of our souls uses the weapon of fear to keep the world under its control while faith sets men free and God's kingdom. There is a battle of fear and faith and determine the outcome course of our life and we must fight and resolved. To overcome every fear that seeks dominion in our lives and Gods purpose or destiny .We must resist the control of fear and renew our mind's develop our faith in God and who will control our beliefs as there is multitude of fears entangling and complicated. Be it fear of men rejection failure embarrassment lack poverty etc .
4 realms of demonic powers in Ephesians 6 only victory is in Christ and faith will ultimately prevail.
The degree of authority in your life is determined by the degree of Christ rule in our lives. Is he reigning and Lord having dominion in us so we can confront higher levels of devils. Mental dominion national dominion we will encounter world rulers principalities wicked ness power of darkness to wrestle with. We cast out demons but wrestle with principalities.
Sept 11 is work of principality. The power behind the evil. David killed the bear and lion before he faced Golliath ,so we must overcome self and flesh to establish spiritual authority by submission faithfulness and santification spirituality to operate in power .
Why we need the fire of God's presence and the Holy Spirit?
Matt 3:11
1. The fire produces a passions for souls, example John 5:35
The greatest harvest of souls that the church is about to experience will be the result of the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in the believer's life. The Holy Spirit is more than a means of feeling good, laughing, dancing, crying, being revived, being slain.
We cannot be light if we are not on fire. Jesus said people are to be light of the world.... Matt 5:14-16
We are lit by the fire of God only the fire of God can disperse spiritual darkness.
The fire of the Spirit of God will cause God's glory and light to shine resulting in miracles.
2. The fire brings judgement Leviticus 10:1-2 The bible speaks of strange fire. There is a holy fire and a profane fire.
Example 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 Sodom and Gomorrah were judged by fire Gen13:12-13, 18:17-19.
God destroyed them by fire because of their sins.
Haggai 2:6; Isaiah 24:2-6
3. The fire of God purifies and causes holiness. God's fire is not to judge us but to sanctify and cleanse us. When we have a personal experience with the fire we are purified as it burns and destroys impurities in various areas that is not pleasing to God.
Example, 1 Corinthians 11:31
It produces submission, humility, faith, love and obedience. When we love God we want to please God and we will not be afraid of His fire as it will not harm us. We must expose ourselves to God's fire.
Seek his fire and requires sacrifice and commitment on our part 1Kings18:38
A sacrifice cannot exist without inconveniences and God's fire falls, only when there is sacrifice Proving what is offered to God is real. We must continue to grow and mature, entering into higher dimensions, investing time, our finance in God's work, we must look for new levels of sacrifice.
4. The fire reveals the motives of our heart .
1 Corinthians 3:13 we need to ask ourself what is the true purpose of what I am doing? Why are we serving God? When motives are right, there is nothing to fear but if we have impure motives we need to make necessary correction.
When you are filled with Gods fire, Satan's power and works are destroyed.
5. The fire of God's presence causes us to fulfill our calling with passion. Example, Jeremiah 20:9
Here Jeremiah describes his experience about the calling of God and the fire of God in his life. God's fire and glory produces in us a passion to reach out and not be exhausted
6. The fire gives us power to overcome obstacles and opposition example, Philippians 1:27-28
Men with vision from heaven are consumed with passion, ablaze with divine fire. They can face and withstand all sufferings and opposition. When you are spiritually on fire no opposition to God's purpose can defeat you.
7. The fire produces a hunger to know God intimately. We must spend time in God's presence because it releases greater zeal and develops intimacy. A small flame is all that is needed to set a forest ablaze to the point that it cannot be extinguished. Intimacy is like a forest fire.
What is revival? Wesley for example, says, it is setting myself on fire and the world will come to see.
8. The fire of God produces holy supernatural boldness. The religious leaders of the day were threatened when they saw the sick healed, signs and wonders and miracles, deliverance as the disciples preached the gospel boldly.
Inspite of imprisonment and persecution the apostles prayed in Acts 4:29
When they were released from prison, Peter and John prayed to the Lord with the disciples asking for greater boldness to preach the Word and to continue doing miracles in the name of Jesus.God granted their request, example, Acts4:31; 5:12. The fire of the Holy Spirit gives you supernatural courage and boldness to believe and do what is humanly impossible. When you have the fire of God you are not afraid of suffering, or paying the price to preach or to take risks for the gospel. God's fire makes you bold to do the impossible.
9. The fire produces passion to see miracles signs and wonders. People need to see a demonstration of God's miracle working power and it creates or develops a hunger for God's fire.
We will not win or impact the world with theory, info, and reasoning but with God's supernatural miracle power. When the fire falls, miracles signs, wonders follow. God's fire and presence results in revival . It is God's fire that will bring transformation in all areas of our lives without the anointing and fire there is no revival or manifestation. LUke 4: 18-19; Psalm 126. The fire of God brings liberty and sets people free from witchcraft, addictions, slavery and sickness.
We must cry out to God for his fire and be ignited. We must decide to seek God to have experience with God's fire Revelation 3:15-16. We must not be complacent, self satisfied, luke warm, hard, stubborn, be willing to pay the price, overcome doubt and allow an atmosphere to be created for God's fire. We must break away from tradition, complacency and slumber and stir up God's gift within us 2 Timothy 1:6.
Is the fire in your life extinguished? Habakkuk 3:2
We need the five fold ministry to stir up the gift of God, so that God's fire may be set ablaze and the lost will be saved, sick healed, demons cast out and captives set free.
When you are ignited by His fire and passion, you will go forth to effectively bring in the harvest. Revelation 3:17-18.

1. No God no peace; know God know Peace.well wholeness complete
We live in a very troubled world and times, and it may seem peace is an illusion and hard to have. The word “peace,” “serene” have a few meanings. At times it is translated “well, whole, nothing broken, nothing missing,” It’s a quality which the world cannot buy for all its money or wealth.
The Bible says God gives us an abundance of peace. The first revelation of Jehovah Shalom is found in Judges 6. Israel had forgotten Jehovah and turned to idols. They had forgotten God has revealed Himself as Sanctifier after 200 yrs had passed. There was no central government, they were scattered and had forgotten Jehovah God as a nation. They were divided and scattered. Every man was doing what was right in his own eyes and the result was they were living in defeat and failures, not as the head but the tail.
The Midianites had overcome and kept Israel in bondage. They had camels attacking with swords putting them in fear, burning their crops, farms and houses. Israel had backslidden and did not have peace as their inheritance as a chosen nation.
Gideon was a man with a tremendous inferiority complex or lack of self esteem, suffering from rejection and self condemnation. He was easy to get uptight because just like us, we see with the natural eyes concerning our circumstances. When David was facing Goliath he was not uptight even though Goliath was bigger and better armed. This was because David had peace and inner tranquility, and considered how big God is and not his own size when he faced and fought Goliath -
v22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. v23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. v24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah Shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Judges 6:22-24
Gideon needed the peace of God if he was to win the battle. God gave Gideon peace before he ever won the battle. God is greater than anything you may encounter so hold your peace.
Shalom as a greeting is usually said twice. Why? Peace within and peace without. Shalom means also “to pay” or “render” or “give unto” and can also mean “full,” “lacking nothing in Jesus.”
2. Peace is God’s payment.
Peace says “I don’t have to worry about the future because I know Him and His Word has made provision to all my needs.”
Another meaning of the word “Peace” is “better than any” or “perfect” or “the best ever.” It is used 170 times in the Bible (better than anything – Peace, perfect, best). In Isaiah 9:6, the prophet prophesied that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and Jerusalem is the city of peace or possession of peace .
v10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:10-11
v7 The voice of the LORD divided the flames of fire. v8 The voice of the LORD shake the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. v9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovered the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. v10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. v 11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:7-11
v17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou should est go. v18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isaiah 48:17-18 (7 keys to your peace -1 whose saying and who say and what you hear listen to instructions from is key 2 The lord Is he the lord or master in control of your life in charge or you 3 Are you redeemed ,do you understand redemption from and the power of the blood 4 Holiness and peace is related Is there a separation for before fire to fall there has to be sacrifice separation of flesh an d worldliness or ways 5 Are you teachable have a humble heart or stubborn hard thinking you know it all 6 who is leading an d whose leading you are following 7 obedience and heeding the word .
God does not want us to be confused, torn up, divided but single-minded, focused and full of His peace and security. Some people think God give us bad things so that we will mature and be purified. Not so and not true! James 1:17 says:”Every good thing comes from God.”
v7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 12For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.” Isaiah 66:7-12
Gideon had only 300 men to fight the enormous 135,000,00 Midianites but he had to hold his peace, trust God and speak victory, and as he was full of holes or leaked, God has to give him reassurance.
V12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. Judges 7:12-21.
God’s Word is never void of power to fulfill what it says. Hold your peace. Gideon kept his peace with his relatives who stirred strife, anger and jealousy, and won. He had a revelation of Jehovah Shalom. When Gideon’s relatives complained and griped, he kept the peace. Contention takes two people. Peace takes only one. When you let Jesus’ peace, love and joy flow out, there cannot be strife.
What is to be upon our feet? Ephesians 6:15 talks about “feet shod with the Gospel of Peace.”
3. Peace is living at its best.
One of the meanings of peace in the Bible is eirene in Greek which means:
a state of national tranquillity
exemption from the rage and havoc of war
peace between individuals, i.e. harmony, concord
security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because peace and harmony make and keep things safe and prosperous)
of the Messiah's peace
the way that leads to peace (salvation)
of Christianity, the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is
the blessed state of devout and upright men after death
(http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/nas/eirene.html)
v 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side. Luke 19:37-43
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13, 14
Peace is our heritage. Ephesians 2:17.
He came to preach peace to those who are afar and nigh .We can have peace because Jesus has shed His blood and blotted out all our sins and failures and fear etc
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrew 12:24.
“Let the peace of God rule in your heart” or take its rightful place in the inner man or core or centre of your life. Colossians 3:15
You have to decide if your emotions or God’s peace rule. You have to choose to allow feelings, flesh or faith in the Word and God’s promises to rule.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee for he trusteth in Him. Isaiah 26:3.
Romans 8:6 says: To be spiritually minded is life and peace. You decide to live in worry, fears, anxiety, the flesh or the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:15-18 teaches you choose to take control of yourself and feelings and emotions by being filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourself in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs or stay agitated and anxious. The Kingdom of God is love, joy, peace and power in the Holy Spirit. Don’t let your mind be restless.
Isaiah 32:17 says “the work (fruit) of righteousness is peace.”
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. Isaiah 32:16-20
Restlessness, uptightness and upset does not reflect a life of Christ but the need of the Peace of God to replace and bring God glory in our lives because Jesus by His blood has made peace available and by His righteousness given us His peace.
V26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:26-30
Peace is an attribute of God in the Bible or His nature. May Jehovah reveal Himself. He is your peace and you have the peace of God.
24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27
Come unto me all ye heavy laden I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
4. There are 6 keys to having the peace of God in your life.
5Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:5-9
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 1 Peter 3:10-11
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
The LORD will give strength unto his people; The LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
There are four very basic human needs in life – Acceptance sense of belonging loved n be loved , Purpose, Security, Identity or Self-Esteem. Anything affecting these areas affect your peace and behaviour or well being.
According to Peter, we are to search and seek for peace, not merely desire but pursue peace. Pursue peace of God, peace with God, peace with self and peace with men as much as possible. Let us live in peace.
Morbid introspection and negativity must cease if we are to have peace. A healthy self esteem and image and not thinking lowly or too highly of oneself is essential to have peace within. Self recrimination and criticism can undermine your faith and self esteem. Past mistakes and foreboding self-accusation steals one’s inner tranquility. We must choose to believe that no matter how we feel or what people said about us, what God says about us is most important i.e. we have hope of a great future and have peace.
Do not get into comparison and blame or rejection it steals your peace. You are no more under condemnation, accusation and there’s more right with you than wrong with you. So, be at peace. We need to think well of oneself. Self-depreciation is destructive and robs you of peace. Take charge, take a chance, take control, know your life is your choice and don't let people manipulate or control you.
Be yourself. You have resurrection power in you too to make quality decisions. You are unique and special. Know yourself and be yourself. You do not have to be like someone else.
Focus on the good and right. You may not be where you need to be but thank God you are not where you used to be.
Be calm, cool and collected and live in peace. If there is one thing most needed in these troubled times and to fight the battles or storms of life, it is the peace of God. One word of peace released when Jesus faced the storm calmed the sea of troubles in an instant. May we seek and lay hold and release this Peace of God. That is the key to the miracles of life when you go through the storms in life.
Jehovah means 6 things: 1) The revealing one; 2) The eternal; 3) unchanging God; changeless One; 4) He is the God of Righteousness and 5 ) Holiness and 6) He is the merciful one Peace is a weapon and the people who know their God will walk in peace conquer overcome the world and enemy .He is Jehovah shalom the God of peace who will crush Satan under our feet .
