Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

DAILY READING – John 2; 1 Chronicles 10-11; Zechariah 1

In 1947, Vladimir Zenchenkov, a government accounting clerk in Russia, returned home from a night of drinking to discover that he had misplaced 400 ration cards owned by his boss. This was not a good thing. Ration cards were a prized commodity in postwar Russia. Since the possible punishment for him was imprisonment, Mrs. Zenchenkov advised her husband to make himself scarce. The next day she told his coworkers that he had run off with another woman. And for the next 22 years, according to the newspaper reports, the terrified Zenchenkov never once left his house.

In 1969 Mrs. Zenchenkov died, and her husband was forced to come out. He then went  to the local police station to turn himself in. After narrating his story, to his greatest shock, he was told that the missing ration cards had turned up in his desk drawer the day after he disappeared in 1947. So out of fear this man had imprisoned himself and wasted years of his life in hiding.

The truth is that most defeats in life are traceable to the spirit of fear. The fear that often plagues the heart of men has gotten many destinies grounded.  One of the greatest mountains anyone can conquer is fear. You cannot reach the pinnacle of success without overcoming fear.

 As a believer, when you are faced with any intimidating situations, always remember that your God is greater and higher than any mountain you may face. Whenever you are confronted, remember that the greater One lives in you. In Isaiah 41:10 God says, ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.’

It is through faith in God that you can overcome the plague of fear. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The more you seek God through His Word, the more you are delivered from fear. Psalms 34:4 says, ‘I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.’ It is through seeking the Lord that you are delivered from fear. The more you know God, the bolder you become. It is through the consciousness of God’s presence, stemming from an intimate walk and fellowship with Him, that you can conquer fear. Indeed the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Through constant study of the Word, your heart is inoculated with faith. And faith is the ultimate answer to fear. When your heart is filled with faith, there will be no room for fear. It is only then you can say, “The Lord is the strength of my life” of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1. When you are truly full of God, then you are truly free from fear!

PRAYER

Father, please grant me a renewed zeal to always fill my heart with faith through in-depth study of Your Word. For I know that when I am full of faith there will be no room for fear in Jesus’ name.

Exodus 12:13 “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

DAILY READING: John 1:35-51; 1 Chronicles 9; Haggai 1:1-2:23

On Christmas Day some years ago, the well-known minister of the Gospel, Kenneth Copeland was faced with a serious situation. His 11-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with neisserian meningitis. At that time there was a wave of spinal meningitis in their area which had been killing young people. Kenneth and his wife, Gloria were away from home when they received the call telling them that young Lyndsey was hospitalized with the meningitis. Immediately they returned back home and headed to the hospital. There, the doctors said Lyndsey was so sick, they were afraid she might die before morning.

Despite the negative report, the Copeland Family refused to fear. They stood together for Lyndsey’s healing—applying the blood of Jesus, and taking Communion together. The family had been pleading the blood of Jesus over their lives, for a number of years, and at this time of trial, they began to speak the covenant of the blood of Jesus. They laid claim to the finished work of Christ on Calvary and invoked the blood against the meningitis disease. At midnight, Lyndsey who had been lying, delirious for over 12 hours, and who hadn’t said anything that made sense all day—suddenly gritted her teeth and declared, “I’m healed in the name of Jesus.”

And sure enough, Lyndsey was healed by the blood of Jesus! When the doctors came the next morning she was perfectly well; and was soon discharged.

Indeed, there is deliverance power in the blood of Jesus. When God instructed the Israelites to take the blood of a lamb and paint it on their doorposts and they did, the angel of death passed them by.

Exodus 12:13 says, “And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” The blood on the doorposts provided divine covering for the Israelites from the death angel. The blood on the door posts was a type of the blood of Jesus. The blood of the lamb foreshadowed the shedding of the blood of Jesus who was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).

Today, as New Testament believers, we don’t need to rely on a token because we have the real thing; the precious blood of Jesus that was spilled on Calvary. Now, if the shadow of the blood of the Lamb could deliver the Israelites from the death angel, imagine what the real blood will do for us when we believe and apply it!

No human blood flowed through Jesus; His blood was divine. And in His blood is great power for any deliverance you may need. His divine blood has the cure for cancer, heart trouble, diabetes, AIDS, or any other disease and sickness. His blood delivers from sin, and every form of addiction. Therefore if you are faced today with any form of affliction, bring it under the blood. The blood is sufficient. It has not lost its power. Indeed, the blood of Jesus has all the power of God in it to establish deliverance for us.

PRAYER

Lord, I thank You for making available to me the blood of Jesus to rescue me from every form of captivity. Indeed, by Christ’s blood shed on Calvary, my deliverance and victory is established forever in Jesus’ name.

James 4:6 ‘But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.’

DAILY READING – John 1:19-34; 1 Chronicles 7-8; Zephaniah 3

During the time of the American slave trade, the Slave masters used various forms of discipline and punishment to break the spirit of the slaves. Because many of the slaves were of African descent and proud of their heritage, it became difficult for slave masters to bring them to the point of total submission. To achieve the breaking of the spirit of these slaves, a number of methods were employed by the slave masters. Whipping became the main form of corporal punishment on most plantations. Also imprisonment and the withholding of such necessities as food and clothing were used to control slaves. In severe cases, slave collars, made of iron, which had three prongs that helped intensify the grip and pain, were put on the neck of slaves to especially deter them from fleeing. Also slaves were branded with hot iron, which imprinted the names of their masters on their skin. All these methods were used by Slave masters as a way of managing slave behavior and to ensure maximum production as well as cooperation among the slaves.

A definitive description of slaves is that they are owned by their masters. And Paul says to believers clearly in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20: “You are not your own. You have been bought with a price.” Indeed we have been bought with the price of the precious blood of Jesus. And if we have been bought with a price, then we belong to the One who has paid that price. However, though we belong to God, He does not have to subject us to harrowing conditions to make us submissive. Rather, He draws us close through love. Through sacrificing His life, Christ proved His love for  us. And in return, we prove our love for Him, by willingly obeying Him.

Jesus said in John 14:15 ‘If ye love me, keep my commandments.’

As believers, our lives are marked by our total obedience and singular devotion to our master. Exclusive ownership implies complete submission. Therefore, we are not the masters of our own destiny nor the captains of our souls. The apostles often referred to themselves as slaves of Christ. In the book of Philippians Paul identifies himself and Timothy as slaves of Christ Jesus (Phil 1:1). Now, most of the English versions have “servants” or “bond-servants” there, but the Greek word is ‘doulos,’. Which is properly rendered “slave.” The term is used at least forty times in the New Testament to refer to the believer, and the Hebrew equivalent is used over 250 times to refer to believers in the Old Testament.

Indeed we cannot truly say we love God unless we are completely submitted to him. And we cannot be completely submitted except we are broken. Indeed we are in an unprecedented season of seeing the glory of God revealed like never before. But that glory has its root in grace. And grace is released by God only to the humble and broken. James 4:6 says: ‘God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble’.

Let us therefore continually humble, ourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt us in due season.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your commitment to unveil Your glory in my life this year. Please grant me the grace to always humble myself under Your mighty hand so that You will exalt me in due season in Jesus Name.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

DAILY READING – John 1:1-18; 1 Chronicles 5-6; Zephaniah 2

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the thirty-second president of the United States and the only person to be elected to four US presidencies. However, his journey to the presidency seemed to have started off badly. With a dream to be the president of the United States, he entered public service through politics. He won election to the New York Senate in 1910 and was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1913. In 1920 he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920. Even though he lost the election, Roosevelt was considered by many to be an effective campaigner and a potential future president.

As he prepared to fully pursue the path to the presidency, tragedy struck. In the summer of 1921, at the age of 39, Roosevelt suddenly became ill and was diagnosed with poliomyelitis. He virtually lost the use of his legs. However, Roosevelt was a Christian who believed that with God anything was possible. So undeterred, he decided to move ahead with his political career. With the corroboration of his family, close associates and members of the press, his inability to walk was hidden from the public. Despite the paralysis, in 1928 he became governor of New York. And finally in 1932, he became the 32nd President of the United States. He was so loved by the people that in 1936, 1940 and 1944 he was re-elected and thus became the president with the longest time in office in the United States.

Roosevelt never allowed paralysis to stop him, though initially a very tragic situation, Roosevelt pushed past it to become one of the most effective presidents the United States ever had.

Though Easter is ultimately a triumphant story, it certainly did not start out that way. It started with what appeared to be the worst possible defeat—the death of Christ on the cross. For Jesus, going to the cross was not easy, but on the third day when He resurrected triumphantly, He turned what seemed a bad situation around for good.

The truth is that God sometimes, uses difficulties and disappointments to accomplish some of His greatest works in us. In the darkness when we cannot see Him, He is still in control. Paul endured a great deal of hardship and persecution for his faith, yet Paul had a resurrection mentality. He knew that despite the present difficulties, God was at work. In Romans 8:28, he said, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

The resurrection story is an assurance that God is at work to turn around bad situations in your life. No matter how initially discouraging things may look, His plan is still working. Just as it worked the day Christ was raised from the grave, it is still working for us today. Though sometimes, we may have to agonize at night in our Gethsemane, let us never forget that God is at work to bring about our resurrection morning. Though weeping may sometimes endure for the night, surely joy comes in the morning!

PRAYER

Lord, I thank You for the victory Christ has won for me at Calvary. By His resurrection power, I see every contrary situation turning around for my good in Jesus’ name.

Psalm 102:13 KJV  ‘Thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yeah, the set time has come.’

DAILY READING –  2 Corinthians 13; 1 Chronicles 3-4; Zephaniah 1

The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast side of South Africa. It has long been of special significance to sailors, many of whom refer to it simply as “the Cape”.

This southernmost point of Africa is a place which for centuries has experienced tremendous storms. For many years no one even knew what lay beyond that cape, for no ship attempting to round that point had ever returned to tell the tale. Among the ancients it was known as the “Cape of Storms,” and for good reason. The first European to see the Cape was Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias, who was searching for the southern limits of the African continent. He later successfully sailed around that very point and found beyond the wild raging storms of the cape, a great calm sea, and beyond that, the shores of India. The name of the cape was then changed from the ‘Cape of Storms’ to the ‘Cape of Good Hope.’

Until Jesus Christ rose from the dead, death had been ‘the cape of storms’ on which all hopes of life beyond had been wrecked. No one knew what lay beyond that point until, on Easter morning when Christ rose from the death. And through Him today, we have the hope of eternal life.

The hope of eternal life, —that man can escape the power of the grave—has set Christianity apart from other first-century religions and philosophies. At the time when Jesus was on earth, the world was heavily influenced by the culture of the Greek and Roman empires. The Greek and Roman religions held little hope for the dead.

The general belief was that once the body was dead, the soul lived in a miserable twilight existence of sadness, silence and hopelessness. Thus death was to men of those days the ultimate disaster. Against this dreary backdrop, the resurrection of Christ brought to men the great light of hope. And just like those ancient explorers, through Christ, today we can see beyond the storms of life, to the hope of eternal life. On the cross, Christ took our sin and shame, and paid our debt in full. Therefore we don’t have to ever live a defeated life. We don’t have to be stopped by the storms and billows of life. We have crossed from death to life. From the cape of storms, we have indeed come to the cape of good hope in Christ.

Psalm 102:13 says ‘Thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yeah, the set time has come.’ Indeed on this resurrection morning, the set time and season for God to favor us has come. And the risen Christ says to us, “Because I live, you shall live also.”

PRAYER; Lord please help me to be a partaker of the goodness  and redemptive package You have won for us at Calvary. Indeed on this resurrection day, I receive a positive change of story in every area of my life in Jesus’ name.

Psalm 69:30-31 ‘‘I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

DAILY READING: 2 Corinthians 13; 1 Chronicles 3-4; Zephaniah 1

Twice in the scriptures God says that in King David he had found ‘a man after my own heart.’. (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). David loved God deeply and ended up a trans-generational celebrity, immortalized by God in history.

1 Corinthians 2:9 says ‘It is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him’.

Those that truly love God become celebrated on the earth. Every certified lover of God ends up as a living wonder. God is a God of love. And we are commanded to love Him with all our heart mind and soul. But most importantly we must remember that God first loved us.  It is because of God’s love for us that He sent Jesus to the cross to die for us. Death on the cross was not an easy thing for Jesus to do. At that time in Palestine, crucifixion was the most shameful way to die.  In those days, the Romans crucified pirates, and bandits — or terrorists as we would call them today. The cross was first reserved only for slaves, it was then extended to the lowest classes, or humiliores — the humble folk as they were known then. Death on a cross was public, shameful and took between a couple hours and a couple days before the person died. The condemned would die from heart failure, asphyxiation, dehydration or even sepsis, as the infection from the nails and elements would settle in.

And yet Jesus went through all that pain and shame because He loved us enough to pay any price for our salvation. Truly in return He deserves all our love. And He wants love to be the real motivation in our relationship and our service to Him.

1 Corinthians 13 makes it clear that whatsoever we do outside of love in service to God, it will profit us nothing. God wants us to serve Him  out of the overflow of the love for Him already in our heart. When we love God our aim will be to please Him always. And one key way we please God is through Thanksgiving and praise. David was also a man who greatly praised God. And in Psalm 69:30-31 he says ‘‘I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.’

Let us learn to love God totally and also give expression to that love through continual praise.  Indeed God is good and worthy of our extravagant love and praise. And when we truly love God, He ensures we become celebrated on earth.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to love You totally, please birth afresh in my heart a deep and abiding love for You. And also grant me the grace to give expression to that love through the continual flow of Your praise from my lips in Jesus Name.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

DAILY READING – 2 Corinthians 12; 1 Chronicles 1-2; Habakkuk 3

Today is a special day! It’s the Passover, marking the night the lamb was slain and it‘s blood put on the door posts, and Good Friday, marking the evening Christ was crucified. Both events took place today, the 19^th of April. Today therefore becomes historically significant to both Jews and Christians.

It is quite remarkable that Easter Celebrations, and the Jewish Passover, both take place in this month of April. Indeed, Easter and Passover, in nature and history, converge with a resounding message of hope. Also, the period of Easter and the Passover mark a new beginning of change and renewal. While the resurrection of Christ marks a new day for Christians, the Passover is considered a ‘new year’ for the Jews.

In Exodus 12:1-2, The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.’  And it indeed became a New Year and new beginning for the Jews as they came out of 430 years of bondage in Egypt. The deliverance from Egypt was part of God’s plan in preparing the world for its Messiah. Centuries later, Jesus came and died on the cross and shed His Blood for the salvation of all of mankind.

Today, therefore, marking Good Friday, when Christ’s blood was shed and the Jewish Passover, when the lamb was slain could also spiritually signify deliverance and new beginnings for us. It is a day that symbolizes hope and new life. It doesn’t matter what your story could have been like in the past, you can tap into the spiritual significance of today and declare a new beginning for yourself. It doesn’t matter what happened yesterday, last week, last month or last year; today is a new day!

With God, anytime is a time for a new beginning. God continually wants to do something new in our lives. New beginnings therefore are major elements of our Christian faith, because periods of renewal and newness continue throughout our Christian life. In our journey, we often come to new levels and new heights as God elevates us. Therefore, determine for yourself that the significance of today will not elude you. The price of the blood paid today, must usher you into new levels and new heights. Stay determined to rise out of every grave of limitation and to escape every bondage and oppression. It is indeed a new day for you. Old things have passed away; behold, all things have indeed become new for you.

PRAYER

Lord, thank You for the price of the blood shed by Christ for my salvation. Through the price Christ paid at Calvary, my life shall continue to experience new beginnings into new heights and greater things in Jesus’ name.

The battle you are faced with today is a good warfare because God has already foreordained victorious end for you.

Romans 8:19 ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.’

DAILY READING    2 Corinthians 11; 2 Kings 25; Habakkuk 2

Christians, have often been the targets of persecution and martyrdom over the centuries. Early Christians were persecuted for their faith at the hands of both the Jews and the Romans. And even up till today, Christians are persecuted by various governments including atheistic states such as the Soviet Union and North Korea.

North Korea, especially has been ranked the most oppressive place in the world for Christians.. Yet despite all these efforts to eradicate Christianity, the church on the contrary has been growing and waxing stronger. And despite the oppression, in many of these repressive countries, Christians continue to serve God even at the risk of their lives.

For those of us who do not live in such repressive countries, the question is; are we living a life that measures up to our claim as Christians? A popular church marquis posting reads, “If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” This is certainly a thought-provoking and soul-searching question!  Did you know that Jesus actually went through six different trials the night He was arrested? Three Jewish trials and three Roman trials – none of them were really legal. All of this takes place in about eight hours. He had done nothing wrong. He had committed no crimes. But finally they found one accusation that stuck. Jesus was found guilty of being the son of God.

1 John 2:6 says ‘Whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked.’

In this resurrection season let us take a decision to consciously  begin to live and walk as Jesus did. Enough of being a secret service Christian. It is time to live in such a way that there will be no doubt to the fact that we are the sons of God. Indeed the world is waiting for our manifestation.

Romans 8:19,22 says ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.’

The whole creation  is groaning and travailing in pain together until now, waiting for the sons of God to show forth their identity. There are cries of oppression as humanity groans in pain, looking here and there in search of emancipation and a way out. The world is waiting for men and women who will, by the power of God, bring deliverance and liberty  to mankind. The world is waiting for these sons of God who will disarm the forces of wickedness and bring the creature out of the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. The world is waiting for saviours, to rescue them out of shame and reproach.

The price Jesus paid at Calvary for our manifestation cannot be in vain. Let us decide today to begin to live and walk as Jesus did. It is time for us to begin to live in a way that if put on trial there will be enough evidence to prove we are sons of the Living God.

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to conform my life to Your Word and to begin to manifest the character of Christ. Help me to live a life that will always bring glory to You in Jesus Name.

Gospel artist and songwriter Nicole C. Mullen was in the news recently, thanking God for delivering her mother from cancer.

Some months earlier she had publicly solicited prayers for her mother, whom the doctors had given a not-so-good medical report. Suspecting cancer the doctors had ordered immediate surgery. Nicole had called together family and friends and they had prayed, fasted, and did what they knew to do.

Yet in the midst of the anxiety, Nicole’s mum, an ordained minister of the Gospel, had remained in faith. She refused to believe the negative  medical report  but chose rather to ultimately trust the report of the Lord! Then after all the medical tests, they received an answer; the doctors suddenly found that she was alright and there was no longer any need to operate, What had been a concern was  found to be no longer cancerous.  The surgeons took her name off the list for operations. It was indeed a miracle!

Despite the initial report, Nicole’s mum stood in faith and claimed the healing that belonged to her through the blood of Jesus. And today she is whole and hearty, because she knew how to exercise her covenant right.

Indeed as children of God, our case is different. By the power in the blood of Jesus we are separated from the evil that is in the world.  Christ Himself became a curse for us, that we might experience a blessed life. He has paid the ultimate price for our freedom, that is why concerning us, affliction cannot arise a second time.

Spiritually we are partakers of the blood line of Jesus Christ. Therefore whatever cannot afflict the blood line of Jesus has no access to us.  As a child of God, your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost. And because The Holy Ghost carries fire, your body is a temple of fire. You are charged and electrified and any evil attempting to touch you gets electrocuted.

Revelation 12:11 says “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.

Indeed we are overcomers by the blood of Jesus. We are in a battle, and in this battle, victory is secured through fire power. We therefore need to take up the responsibility of maintaining spiritual fire, through a fervent prayer life.. The more we pray, the more the fire burns in us to consume every chaff of weakness, sickness and disease.

Indeed there is fire and power in the blood of Jesus to uproot every thing which our Heavenly Father has not planted in us. And by the power in the blood, our victory over every affliction is permanently secured in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Father I thank You for making me to be a partaker of Your divine bloodline. Indeed through Christ I am an overcomer in every conflict. Surely I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me in Jesus Name.

On September 28 2018,  at the same time a powerful earthquake struck Indonesia, one plane managed to miraculously take off from the Palu airport, barely escaping the destruction. The Indonesian pilot testifies that his relationship with God helped him hear divine instructions that saved him and 148 passengers.

Commercial Pilot Ricoseta Mafella, a devout Christian, told CBN News he usually just hums worship songs during his flights. But moments before the earthquake and tsunami hit Indonesia he felt the urge to sing aloud. He says, “God seemed like He was saying, ‘ust praise me and worship me.'”

Capt. Mafella says after landing,  as passengers departed and Mafella prepared for his next flight, he says he heard the voice of The Holy Spiri again instructing him, “Be quick, get out of this place. Depart early.” 

Capt. Mafella wondered if it was just his imagination, or something else. Regardless, he obeyed what he had heard and took off three minutes earlier than the scheduled departure time. That decision literally saved lives.

 Capt. Mafella was amazed at the chronological order of events.

He recalls, “The quake started at the Donggala area 17:55… 5:55 pm. I pushed back at 5:52. The highest 7.7 and 7.4 magnitude hit exactly after my lift off!”
Indeed we must be sensitive to hear what The Holy Spiri is saying to us per time. And we can  only be sensitive if we can maintain constant focus on God. Though flying a commercial airplane, because he kept focused  on God, this pilot heard  the instruction that saved him and his passengers.
To win in life”s battles you have to learn to cut down distractions and focus on God’s word..
To have victory, you must maintain your focus. The world is full of distractions; so many things calling your name, seeking your attention, trying to shift your focus, trying to derail you from your course. Thus, you must let your focus always be on the Word. Be controlled by the Word. Keep filling your heart continually with the Word, until your actions are dominated and controlled only by what God says. When your heart is full of the Word of God, there will be no room for frivolities. Like Jesus, you will say, ‘My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, [John 4:34]. Your primary concern will be only to please God. When that happens, then you can be sure of victory, because God Himself will arise and  see you through in every of life’s challenges.
Prayer
Lord, please  help me to hear You clearly concerning Your will for me, no more guess work, Please help me to always receive Your precise instructions, before I take any major step in Jesus Name. .
