Respond To The Word

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
believe, and therefore speak
(2 Corinthians 4:13).

God wants us to believe and live His Word. He
wants us to use the Word, to take His Word and
speak it. He didn't only give us His Word to quote, memorize
or recite; He gave us His Word so we can respond to it
accordingly. You have to agree with the Word, and speak it
forth; that's what produces result.

Consider the glorious words of the Psalmist penned
for us in Psalm 23:1-4: "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall
not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He
leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads
me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me." Here, we find David affirming God's Word,
making his personal faith-proclamations on the basis of God's Word.

There's no need griping over lack, your seeming
inabilities, or lack of strength; there's no need to be afraid
or intimidated by the oppositions you face! There's no need
to faint or lose heart over anything! Affirm the Word. Take
the Word of God and speak it! Declare, "I'm being led in the
paths of righteousness. I'm walking in the glory of God and
fulfilling my destiny of greatness in Him!"

Don't say, "Lord, deliver me from evil"; rather, like
David, say, "I fear no evil!" That means no matter the evil or
adversities, you're triumphant over them, because greater is
Respond To The Word
SATURDAY
21
He that's in you than he that's in the world (I John 4:4). Christ
is in you (Colossians 1:27); and that means glory, fulfillment,
joy, progress, and transcendental blessings in your life.

But you see, it's not going to happen just because
you're a Christian; you must affirm it. When life looks like
there's darkness, and things look bleak, don't despair; take
the Word and speak it. Declare, "Christ is in me; therefore,
I'll only and always be triumphant!" Whatever God says to
you is for your benefit, and requires the right response. So,
respond by affirming what He's already said concerning you
in His Word.

CONFESSION
The Word of God in my mouth is
God talking! As I take and speak
the Word, my life is impacted and
transformed into what the Word
says, making me a living and
walking epistle of Christ. Men see
and take note of me that Christ
is in me; as He is, so am I in this
world. Hallelujah!

Poverty Is Not For you

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians
8:9).

After you're born again, poverty becomes
completely unacceptable in your life. I know
there're people who believe Christians ought to be poor, but
that's due to their lack of understanding of the Scriptures.
Poverty is not the absence of money, or other required
necessities of life; it's actually the disabling of a man's mental
prowess. It's that state where a person's mind shuts down,
and that person believes that he or she can't do anything to
change his state.

But that's not the case with the one who's born again
and lives by the Word; it's impossible for such a person to
walk in penury. The Christian is an heir of God, and a joint-heir
with Christ. All the wealth in this world belongs to you if
you're born again. Once you accept this truth in your spirit,
and allow it dominate your thinking, it'll give you a new
mind-set. It'll be impossible for you to walk in lack.

The Bible says Jesus became poor so that we, through
His poverty, might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). He took
upon Himself, not only the sins of the world, but also the
effects of sin, one of which is poverty. This is the reason
every Christian must reject poverty. Nevertheless, poverty
by choice, or deprivation by persecution is acceptable. A
Christian may walk poor, and live poor because of ignorance,
but he's not poor, for he actually has an inheritance in Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:21 says,..."all things are yours."
Therefore, refuse and reject the down life; don't live as a
victim. Get to the Word and become knowledgeable about
your untold wealth in Christ. God said, "My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hosea 4:6). Refuse to
walk in ignorance, but in the knowledge of your inheritance in Christ.

PRAYER
Dear Father, you're gracious and
kind. I thank you for making me
a joint-heir with Christ; the world
belongs to me. All things are
mine, and nothing good is
withheld from me. I dwell in the
realm of superabundance, where
I'm graciously supplied with
every good thing. My life is a
manifestation of your love and
grace; thank you, Lord, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.

Beyond An Awareness

These things have I written unto you that believe on the
name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have
eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the
Son of God (1 John 5:13).

In our opening Scripture, the Apostle John writes to
believers; those who’re already in Christ; who already
believe in God. He wasn’t writing to non-Christians. He says
to them, “I want you to know that you have eternal life.” The
word “know” is translated from the Greek “Eido,” which
means to notice, observe, or become aware; it’s knowledge
with awareness.

There’re three other major words in the Greek
language for knowledge, although the English language uses
the word “know” or “knowledge” to classify all of them.
However, they’re not all the same; they mean different things.
These three Greek words are, “Ginosko,” “Gnosis,” and
“Epignosis.” Ginosko is revelation knowledge. For example,
Ephesians 3:19 says, “And to know the love of Christ, which
passeth knowledge….” “Know” in the foregoing scripture is
Ginosko, while “knowledge” is “Gnosis.” “Gnosis is scientific
knowledge; knowledge gained by mental activity.

The third and highest kind of knowledge is “Epignosis.”
This kind of knowledge brings the knower into a relationship
with that which is known, and that’s the one that really
changes your life. Imagine that someone told you that you
have a gift coming to you. When it arrives and you get
acquainted with it, that’s “Ginosko.” When you unwrap the
gift and become aware of what it is, that’s “Eido,” because
you’ve now made the observation, but you haven’t started
relating with it. When you take out the gift and start relating
with it, using and enjoying it as it were, you’re into a relationship with the gift; that’s “Epignosis.”

So, in Christianity, it’s not enough to be merely aware
that you’re a Christian and you have eternal life. That
knowledge should be a vital reality in your spirit; something
you relate with, live in, and enjoy in the now! That knowledge
should be a vital force that controls your thinking and actions.
This is where meditating on the Word is vital; it brings you
into that consciousness and oneness with the truth that you
know in the Word. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
I’m a member of the body of
Christ, of His flesh, and of His
bones. The eternal life of God is
at work in every fibre of my
being, every bone of my body,
and every cell of my blood. I’m
consciously aware of, and relate
with the knowledge that Christ is
in me; therefore, I’m unshakable
and indestructible. My life is a
manifestation of the glory and
nature of Christ. Blessed be God!

You Have The Authority Of
Jesus

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of
the world. Amen (Matthew 28:18-20).

In our opening scripture, Jesus tells His disciples that
all power (authority) in heaven and on earth has been
given to Him. Philippians 2:9-10 says, “Wherefore God also
hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under
the earth.”

The Father gave all authority to Jesus. It wasn’t all the
presidents of the world that came together and vested all
authority on Jesus; it wasn’t done by democracy; it was God’s
sovereign discretion. He alone could do such a thing. Now,
Jesus says to us, the believing ones, “On the basis of the
authority given to me by the Father, I commission you to go
preach the Gospel and teach all nations.” He delegated His
authority to the Church, to go make pupils and students of
the nations of the world; to teach them how to live.

Your authority in Christ is perfect and absolute. No evil,
demon, or darkness can resist it as you preach the Gospel
with boldness everywhere. Mark 16:17-18 says, “And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall
take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.”

This is a sovereign declaration of deity. It’s a law in
the realm of the spirit. When you speak in the Name of Jesus,
it’s as though Jesus Himself were speaking.
Therefore, do all things in His Name; live in the
authority of His Name. Refuse to allow the devil run rampage
in your environment; use your authority in Christ against the
devil and he’ll have no choice but to flee. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
privilege and authority to use the
Name of Jesus; the Name that is
above all names. At the Name
of Jesus, demons tremble, chains
are broken, doors are open, and
mountains crumble. And in the
power and authority of that
Name, I go forth today in victory,
reigning and ruling over
circumstances, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Receive Your Supply For Today

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation. Selah (Psalm 68:19).

In Matthew Chapter 6, Jesus gave His disciples a
format on how to pray, and in verse 11, He said,
“Give us this day our daily bread.” When He taught them this
format of prayer, He hadn’t died on the cross; the New
Testament hadn’t started, because a will doesn’t come into
existence until the death of the testator. After the death of
Jesus Christ, the New Testament was sealed; meaning that
every provision from His will had become legal; you could
now take advantage of it.

Jesus’ teaching in that prayer does suggest that every
day, in the mind of God, there’s a blessing for you; there’s
more than enough supply for you every day. Ever since you
were born again and you received Christ, there’s been a daily
supply for you; that’s what “daily bread” means; the Master
wasn’t talking about a loaf of bread.

That means you probably have a pile of unused
supplies with God; supplies and benefits from God that you
never took advantage of. Read our opening verse again; it
says He daily loads us with benefits; meaning that aside from
the supply, there’re also benefits; extras. God isn’t just into
provision, He’s into supply as well; He’s not just providing
what you need, He supplies them, which means there’s a
constant flow, and the reason for the flow is for you to have
more than enough for yourself, and to help others.

There’s an accumulation of wealth for you, and just
because you didn’t know doesn’t mean you have forfeited it.
So, every day in God’s plan—in His structure of things—you
have a supply, an amount set aside for you to spend and
use. Make a demand for it. Receive your supply for today.
Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
supply-system you’ve set in
motion on my behalf; I can never
be broke; you’ve blessed me
lavishly and supplied all my
needs. My heart’s desires are
granted me as I delight myself in
you. Even now, I receive my
supply for today; thank you,
blessed Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

A Mentality Of Prosperity

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou
gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not
glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape
of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and
stranger… (Leviticus 19:9-10).

In the above scripture, God was giving some
instructions to the children of Israel on what they
should do when they harvest their grains. He said to them,
“..Thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither
shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.” In other words,
“Don’t harvest everything; don’t gather the gleanings.” He
didn’t want them scratching for the leftovers; and it was a law.
They were to leave some in the field, for the poor, the
fatherless, and the widows.

There’re people who don’t know why they haven’t
made much progress in their lives. Some of them have prayed
and prayed, yet no change. But you see, God doesn’t
fellowship with a man who has a mentality of poverty. There’s
a mentality of prosperity and there’s a mentality of poverty.
For instance, some people would use their clothes until those
clothes are torn to tatters. How sad! It could be any personal
belonging; they use it until it’s not good enough to be given
to someone else. Such a mentality attracts poverty, and it has
kept many in a despicable state for a long time.

Whatever God blesses you with, no matter how small
or big it is, when you use it, let it be good enough for
someone else. When you give such things to others, be sure
they’re in an excellent state to be used with dignity. That’s the
way to live. There should never be anything that you own that
you can’t give out.

God wants you to always be a blessing to others who
aren’t as blessed as you are. There’re things you haven’t
used in a long while, yet you’re keeping them. That’s not a
prosperity attitude. Do the Word; get into your closet and
search out belongings you’ve piled up and probably wouldn’t
even use for another one or two years. Give them out, and
watch your life take an upward dive.

PRAYER
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed me with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ! I have received of His
fullness, grace heaped upon
grace. I’m a blessing to those
around me, and as a result, I grow
bigger and stronger in prosperity,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Memorising Scriptures Is Good
Spiritual Exercise

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou
mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:.

Some Christians can memorise and quote many
scriptures off by heart, which is commendable.
Whereas, some others erroneously assume that memorising
scriptures is no longer fashionable. With the introduction of
different electronic Bibles and Bible software where scriptures
can be located at the click or push of a button, many
Christians have relegated the importance of memorising
scriptures in personal Bible study. This ought not to be so.

Learning to memorise scriptures is a very fundamental
part of good Christian growth and development. Even though
you have easy access to electronic Bible reference materials,
you must exercise your mind to retain the Word of God. Your
mind is the doorway to your spirit (2 Corinthians 4:4). The
Word of God has to be in your consciousness to produce
results in your life.

When you have read your Bible, pick out certain verses
and recite them by heart. This is the beginning of meditation,
and the more you do this, the more the Word will get into
your spirit. The same way you took time to learn and
memorise things in school, you have to discipline your mind
to retain scriptures. You can set a target for yourself for the
rest of the year, to memorize at least one scripture per day,
and measure your progress in it. You’d be amazed at the
impact it’ll have on your life!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the
impact of yourWord on my spirit.
As I meditate on the Word, and
retain those priceless thoughts in
my heart and consciousness, my
profiting appears to all! I function
always from a vantage point of
victory, glory, success, and
prosperity, where I reign and rule
over circumstances, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.

Square Up To Challenges

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations (James 1:2).

There’re some Christians who, even though they’ve
been born again for a long time, still love to be
“babied.” When facing challenges, rather than squaring up to
those challenges by putting their faith to work, they go
seeking prayers and encouragement. They like to hear such
words as, “Don’t worry; God is going to turn your worst into
your best, and make a way where there seems to be no way.”
But that’s not good enough.

Don’t stay at the level where you’re always being
pulled up; always looking for someone to encourage you,
hoping that everything would work out for your good. Square
up to the problem! The Bible says, “Ye are of God, little
children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that
is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Romans
8:35-37 declares, “Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

You’re more than a conqueror; you’re a victor in Christ
Jesus; no circumstance or situation can overwhelm you,
because you’re born to win, reign and rule over
circumstances. It’s your heritage in Christ Jesus. So, stop
asking God to make the challenges go away; He’s not going
to make them go away, because they’re for your promotion.
That’s why He says, “Count it all joy when you go through
diverse tests.”

You’re in God’s army; you can’t afford to be a sissy.
Face challenges and win. He knows you’ll come out
unscathed. He already declared, “When thou passest through
the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee” (Isaiah 43:2).

Don’t pray to God to protect you from the devil; you’re
superior to the devil. The devil and all his demons are under
your feet. So, square up; win, reign, and rule your world every
day with the Word.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I count it all joy
when tests and challenges come
my way. I remain joyful
irrespective of contrary situations
and circumstances, for I’m
assured that the story has already
been told, the end determined,
and my testimony of victory
assured in the Word. Thank you,
Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Helper Is In You

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor,
Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever—(John
14:16 AMP).

As a child of God, it’s important to know that no one,
but the Holy Spirit, can and will lead you into your
destiny of greatness. Of course, the Lord can use people to
bless you; but don’t make the mistake of thinking such people
can only be found in the “palaces” or high places of life.

Think about it: Where was Joseph when he met the
man that introduced him to Pharaoh, and ultimately, his
destiny in Egypt? He was in prison! The reason God sent him
to the prison was because the man who was to introduce
him to Pharaoh would be coming there too. His life was
programmed to go that way. In the same way, God has
programmed your life. Your life has been predetermined and
prearranged by God. Yours is to follow the guidance and
leading of the Holy Spirit.

Wherever God has placed you, there’s greatness there
for you. Don’t look in the wrong places for help. In Psalm
121:1-2, David said, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the
LORD, which made heaven and earth.” David knew his help
wasn’t from man. He looked to heaven. But you know what?
Today, our help isn’t from above, because the Helper now
lives in us! He’s the Holy Spirit. He left heaven and came to
the earth, to be in us.

Jesus was the Helper when He walked the earth, but
prior to His ascension, He said, “And I will ask the Father,
and He will give you another Helper.” Your Helper—the Holy
Spirit—is in you now. So, don’t look to the hills for help; don’t
look to heaven for help, for the Helper already came from
heaven, to live in you. As you maintain a rich fellowship with
the Holy Spirit, He’ll guide your steps, and help you fulfil your
destiny in Christ.

PRAYER
Dear Holy Spirit, I’m constantly
mindful of your indwelling and
abiding presence which has
made me a victor and a master
over circumstances. Fears,
worries, darkness, confusion and
uncertainty have no place in me. I
take advantage of your presence,
and bask in the glory and
transformation that it brings, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Believe In What He’s Done For
You

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians
8:9).

This verse of scripture is quite instructive; it says
although Jesus was rich, He made Himself poor, so
that you, through His poverty might be made rich. Someone
may say, “Oh yes! He became poor for us spiritually”; no.
Paul wasn’t talking about spiritual riches and spiritual poverty,
because Jesus never became any less the Son of God in His
physical body than He was in the bosom of the Father. When
you study the entire chapter in context, you’d understand that
He was talking about financial and material prosperity.

For our sake, He laid down His reputation, His riches,
His wealth; He laid down everything and identified Himself
with us, and took our place. He became us. Everything He
did was for your sake. He wasn’t poor, but He became poor
for your sake. In the same way, you weren’t rich, but now
through Him, you’ve been made rich, just as in Him you’ve
been made righteous. Until you understand this revelation,
you’ll never enter into your wealthy place in God.

Your trust shouldn’t be in the government, the society
or in the job that you do. Your trust shouldn’t be in any
banking reform. Your trust has to be in the Word; in whom
and what Christ has made you. He’s fulfilled His part. He said,
“...Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)
to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7). He already became
poor so that you, through His poverty, might become rich.
Now, you’re to step into what He’s done for you and made
you. Believe in what He’s done for you, and take advantage
of it.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I’m forever grateful
for my glorious inheritance in
Christ! As an heir of prosperity, I
live to bless others and lift them
out of the thraldom of lack
through the power of your Spirit
that’s at work in me. I walk in
super-abundance, and
experience undeniable success in
all that I do, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
