Prayer Is The Key


Gen. 32:9-12 “And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
 11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
 12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.”

Imagine how you would feel knowing you were about to meet someone you cheated. Jacob had cheated Esau by taking his birthright and blessings. He was a poor boy when he left home, and now he has become very rich with an enviable family.
Time has come for him to meet with Esau face to face after a long period of twenty years. Obviously he had every reason to be afraid as Esau marched towards him with a group of men numbering four hundred.

Jacob was sorely afraid.

Vs. 11 “Deliver me, I pray thee…” 

Rather than continue in fear and panic, Jacob decided to pray to the God of his fathers.

Child of God, it is not out of place that you are at one time or the other faced with conflicts that are capable of making you afraid. When you are confronted with challenges that make you afraid go to God in prayer. He had said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Trust him and he will see you through. God bless you.

The Word of God – Part 3


Meditate the word of God Ps. 1:2-3 “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

I’m inspired by the fact that the word works. When you meditate on God’s word, you’ll be like a tree planted by the riverside. As there is a curse wrapped up in the wicked man's mercies, so there is a blessing concealed in the righteous man's crosses, losses, and sorrows.  The trials of the saint are a divine husbandry, by which he grows and brings forth abundant fruit.

3 Jn. 2 “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers” (WEB).

It is expected of a child of God to fill his mind with God’s word. Prosperity is not an issue of the flesh, it is of the soul. 

A shrink soul makes for a shrink life. An ignorant soul makes for an ignorant life. So you have to guard against what enters into your mind.

 Poverty is a function of a poor soul. A man is not poor because he did not go to school but because he is ignorant. So go for knowledge today – the knowledge of the word of God.

Pro. 18:1 “Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.”

When you meditate on God’s word, you are rubbing your little mind with God’s great mind. Meditation on God’s word helps you keep God’s commandments and in turn gives you good success.

Ps. 1:2-3 “…and on his law he meditates day and night…He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
  
When you meditate on God’s word you’ll not miss your season, your leaves will not wither and whatsoever you do will prosper.

When you speak the word of God, angels go on errand. To succeed as a believer, you must learn to speak God’s word.

Jn. 12:49 “For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak.”

Jesus did not speak his own words; he spoke God’s word. He spoke the words he heard his father speak. Child of God learn to speak God’s word. The word of God is what you need for signs. It is what you need for a victorious Christian life. “…and the Lord working with them confirming the word with signs following.” Mr. 16:20

I pray that the power in the word of God will mount pressure on your challenges and give you victory. It will give you good success. More  grace.

Prayer of Salvation


Are you born again? Have you received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior? If your answer is no, please recite this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner. Please forgive every sin I have committed in word, thought and deed. I confess that you are the son of God and I believe that you came in the flesh, died and rose again from the dead. I implore you to come into my life and be my Lord and personal Savior. Thank you because I am born again.”

Congratulations for saying that prayer. For further help, send an email to anointedmsg@gmail.com

THE WORD OF GOD - PART 2


Commitment to the Word of God
Ps.119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Naturally, we need a lamp when it is dark to be able to see. In the same vein, we need a lamp (the word of God) as we sojourn through the dark world of sin and trouble.

As we make our New Year resolutions, how I wish we include commitment to the word of God.

We need to commit ourselves to the study of the word of God. 
We need to commit ourselves to teaching and living the word of God. 
When we do that, the word becomes a lamp unto our feet and the murky waters of life will not overwhelm us.

2Tim.2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God…”

I wish that we give ourselves to studying God’s word. No man sees God anywhere but he has given us his word to guide us – so our commitment to the word determines our success as believers.

Understanding God’s word makes us live victoriously on earth and prepares us for eternity with Christ.

2Pet. 3 “… his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him…”

Everything you’ll need in your life is in you. Everything you’ll need to live a godly life is in you. They were deposited in you at rebirth.

Lack of commitment to the word is responsible for human misbehavior.

Listen, it’s possible to acquire wealth without ritual murder. It’s possible to be a millionaire without pushing drug. 
It’s possible to be rich without embezzlement. 
When you allow God’s word to direct your decisions, you’ll prosper righteously. He said “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Mt. 6:33)  

Commitment to the word will require us to deliberately create time for the word. Compare the time we spend on our Smart phones per day and the time we read our Bibles. Some Christians open their Bibles only on Sundays in the church. They have no time to study the word. Some spend their time playing games, charting with friends and browsing the internet. They have no time for the word of God.

Remember that our approval depends on studying the word.

Commitment to the word will require us to buy study Bibles. We need Bibles that have study materials such as commentaries, concordance, interlinear, maps and dictionary.

In as much as we appreciate the convenience that electronic gadgets afford, we should not allow them to override our interest in studying the word. Rather, we should use them as aids to study and evangelize the word.

Mastery of God’s word is mastery of life issues. Make a plan to read the whole Bible in the year 2014 and let it form part of your testimonies come January 2015. It will reshape your life, increase your discipline and earn you an approval. May the power that is in the word work in your lives.

We’ll appreciate your comments.

The Word Of God – Part 1


The integrity of God’s word 2 Tim. 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Apostle Paul is telling us here that the written word of God (supposedly the Old Testament) is given by the inspiration of God. It‘s not the contrivance of any man's knowledge. It was revealed to men by God through his spirit.  

It is profitable for doctrine and instruction;
- Teaching us what to know and believe in order to          have salvation.
- Teaching us about God, Christ and ourselves.
-  It is good for reproof of error and false doctrines.
-  It is good for correction of sin and evil manners and also for instruction in righteousness, directing us on how to lead a holy and righteous life, according to the will of God.

When a man receives God’s word by faith, it is able to make him perfect and ready for good works. It is able to equip the ministers of Christ with knowledge, faith, and holiness making them fit for their work and duty as Christians and as ministers. The scripture is sufficient to lead a man to salvation. It is infallible having been inspired by God.
  
Acts 14:3 “Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.”

When you speak the word of God with boldness, he confirms his word with signs and wonders - you encounter breakthrough.

The three Hebrew children (Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego) told King Nebuchadnezer “…our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king” (Dan. 3:17).

Indeed God delivered them from the fiery furnace. What do you think gave them the boldness to boast before King Nebuchadnezer and the princes of Babylon?

God had promised through the prophet Isaiah. “…when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” (Is. 43:2c)

Jesus overcame the Devil by quoting the word of God to him: “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Mt. 4:4)

The Devil cannot withstand the word of God.  

The church is not demonstrating much miracles today because the children of God are not boasting in the name of the Lord their God. I encourage you child of God: Boast in his name, speak his word and celebrate your breakthrough. God bless you.
