Bible verse: Matthew 16:19 contd.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Message
The keys of the kingdom are God's gift to his people to state heaven's verdict on who will and will not enter the kingdom based on their response to His word. They are the keys to your authority needed to unlock these closed doors of truth.
God promises to give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven with the full authority and you can chase your enemies or lock them up and they shall fall before you by the sword.
Beloveth, without God's authority you will never be granted into places that have previously been closed to you.

How can you be qualified to receiving these keys of authority?
- Seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness.
- Fear the Lord because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
- Study God's word and be obedient to His instructions.
- Cry out unto God and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness as you forgive those that trespass against you.
- Grow in faith and walk in boldness because your boldness will determine the path God will lead you on.
- Invest in the kingdom of God and be a cheerful giver.
- Develop a prayer life and keep your life always moving toward God.
- Establish good relationship with the Father and develop trust and confidence.

Prayer
Everlasting Father, grant and give me the keys needed to open the doors to understanding, knowledge, wisdom, and the spiritual treasure house in Jesus name.
Grant me the privilege to walk in the light of Your countenance and enjoy Your gracious presence in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Message
Beloveth, if you have been entrusted with the keys to something (say a house, bank account, security save etc.), it may not be yours to own or to use as you will; but it is yours to exercise authority over in the name of the one who entrusted the keys to you.
Yes! you have the owner's authority given to you to open it or close it.
The keys are not yours, they cannot be possessed except that the owner Himself gives them and entrusted them to you.
The keys can be seen as a letter of attorney because when you have the keys, you possess authority.
It is not an authority that just anyone can claim but an authority given to you built on trust, confidence and your integrity.
You have an important charge entrusted to you and an authority given to you to fulfill that charge.
You have no reason to fear because you have the keys. You have the authority entrusted to you to let someone in, or to lock someone out, to allow Satan to harass you or not, to fall victim to the enemies or to take your victorious stand against them.
You have the power to open or close; to bind or loose.
All you need to do is to know the power of the keys and to make use of the keys.

Prayer
Thank You Lord that You will entrust and give me the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
Grant me the wisdom to make a good use of the keys and the strength and ability not to abuse its use in Jesus name.
Help me Lord, to wear the cloak of humility, to set my mind on things above, and not on things that are on earth in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 6:30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Message
God knows the heart of man and He recognizes the fear and fretfulness in its many forms, deep in the hearts of His children.
He used lilies of the valley, birds of the air and the grass of the field to show the futility of worry and to calm each soul.
The different grasses of the field, the wonderful flowers in your homes, offices and in the fields provide the beautiful examples of God's abundant provision.
God is telling you how much care He can show to those that are His and obedient to His word.
Beloveth, God is sufficiently interested in clothing the grass and dressing wild flowers in their lovely colourful garments
how much more must He care for You whom He created in His own image.
Think of His great love, His power and His ability and be conscious that God will never suffer you to want anything which is truly needful.
Therefore have the spirit of contentment, testify to the goodness and grace of God in your live and trust God that He can do all things.

Prayer
Dear Lord, rearrange my priorities so that they match up with Your priorities and help me to trust in You with all my heart and not to rely on my own understanding or allow things to destroy my peace in Jesus name.
Do not allow, Oh Lord, worry within and fears without to quickly cause my faith to falter in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 1 John 1:4
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Message
Joy is the reverse of happiness.
Happiness is the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy has its springs deep down inside.
Beloveth, the fullness of joy comes if you walk in the light, dedicated to God's pure and perfect program and you are obedient to the Word and doctrines of God.
Living a life filled with the Spirit of God and in fellowship with God is a special prerequisite to receive the blessings and favour of God and man.
Are you serving the Lord with gladness, in truth and spirit?
Do you and/or are you seeking God's will and trusting Him in every circumstances?
How about getting riches by all means or been reluctant to accept the truth or speaking lies in hypocrisy?
Do you love your neighbours, enemies and those who persecute you as Christ loves you?
For your joy to be full you must cross-check your relationship with the above questions.
Your joy cannot be full if you have delight in the downfall of your brethren, have unguarded mouth, live in jealousy and pride.
If you are in doubt or not sure of your stand, surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and seek for a more abundant life in Christ.
Know that God is all-sufficient.

Prayer
O everlasting Father, thank you to have designed me to operate with a tank full of joy, while mercy and peace never cease to be my portion.
Let me be able to live a purposeful and satisfying life, be able to focus and practice "things write we unto you", walk in the light and let the reward of my fellowship with You be eternal life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Message
As long as you walk in God's ways and continue to trust Him and allow Him to lead, you can be confident that you are walking in His power and not your own capabilities and understanding.
Trusting God and waiting on Him will provoke Him to bless you with true riches which includes spiritual blessings like peace, security, and strength that are so valuable and cannot be bought at any price.
Do you need sense of direction or willing to walk on the right path or like being out on the ocean without compass on cloudy night?
Then trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
let loose the desires to take things into your own hands and do not try to understand God's ways because His ways are different from yours and His thoughts differ. He changeth not.
In all your doings acknowledge God, praise Him and exalt His holy name.

Prayer
Dear Father, grant me confident of trusting You and walking in Your power and not leaning on my own understanding.
Guard me with the spiritual calmness to waiting on You for directions in Jesus name.
