1 Timothy 1:18 

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.

DAILY READING – Matthew 9:1-17; Leviticus 3-4; Proverbs 20

The prophecies of the Bible could only have come from God alone. Nobody could attempt to forecast these prophecies with such accuracy. Neither could they have come true by random chance or probability. World class mathematicians have said that there is one chance over 87, followed by 93 zeros that the Bible’s prophecies could be true on the basis of random chance. Simply put; only God could have done it.

A scientist picking out 48 of the prophecies concerning Jesus, determined that the probability of one man randomly fulfilling them all is 1 in 10 to the exponent of 157. That is 1 followed by 157 zeros! Yet, Jesus fulfilled ALL the prophecies! Over 300 Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah were fulfilled by the life of Jesus Christ. For instance, it was prophesied that He would be born of a virgin in Isaiah 7:14, this was fulfilled in Matthew 1:18-25. It was prophesied in Micah 5:2 that he would be born in Bethlehem, fulfilled in Matthew 2:1-6. It was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14, that He would be called Immanuel (God with us); fulfilled in Matthew 1:22-23.

The Bible is truly the inspired Word of God. It is not at all an ordinary book. It is the revelation of God to man. Any promise spoken by God in the Bible is an open cheque for anyone to appropriate. Therefore, go to the Bible and find out what God has said concerning your situation and hold on to it. Whatsoever God has said He will do, He will surely do. Whatever His mouth has promised, His hand is able to perform. The verdict of man is fallible; only the verdict of God is infallible.

Jehovah has the final say. He is not man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. Has He said it? He will surely make it good. God’s Word will be still standing when every other counsel has failed. Hasn’t God said you shall be the father and mother of nations? Then claim it and stop looking at the verdict of man. What is that medical report in your hands, compared to the eternal Word of the living God? Whose report will you believe? Hasn’t God said there shall none be barren among you? So why do you want to believe the changeable verdict of the doctor? Hasn’t God said in Isaiah 3, ‘say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him, he shall eat the fruit of his labor?’ Then why are you letting the media reports confuse you, by telling you that there is no job anywhere? Rise up, locate God’s will in His Word concerning your situation and begin to claim it for yourself. Situations do not move until you forcefully speak the Word of God over them. The red sea did not part until Moses stretched forth his hands over it.

Begin to command situations and circumstances in the name of Jesus to bow to you, and as you do, your victory is established in Jesus’ name. The only language the devil understands is the language of force. Speak to your mountains forcefully and command them to disappear in the name of Jesus. You have been pampering that situation for too long that is why it is still with you. Now begin to command it to leave. Use the infallible Word of God to wage war against it. What you do not want, you do not watch. We do not watch prophesies we war with it. The Word of God will work if you war with it.

Life will not give you what you deserve, but what you demand. Speak to your mountains, declare what God has said. As you do so, your victory is established in Jesus’ name. Don’t believe men, believe God. Only God has the final say in your life. You have to, like Paul, declare ‘let God be true and every man a liar.’ If you listen to people’s opinion, you can never make it in life. Because the enemy speaks through people to attack your destiny, he speaks through men to implant fear in your heart, so as to make you doubt the plans and purpose of God and not move forward. You must listen to only what God has said. Who says and it comes to pass when God has not commanded it?

Sit down with the Word and locate the truth. God has said you shall excel, that you shall be the head and never the tail, and no matter what anybody says, what God has said is what will surely come to pass concerning you in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER Lord, I know there are treasures stored up in Your Word for me, I need to find them, please give me the grace to locate them in Jesus’ name.
