Bible verse: Acts 19:15 contd
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

Message
The demon asked them "who are ye? - a question of identity.
He was questioning the power of their authority knowing fully who they were in the Lord and that the question of authority answers to the utility of the power and purpose of identification.
Beloveth, the power of authority comes alive when you can settle the questions of your identity based on the acceptance of the omnipotent rule and reign of God.
Exercising authority is powerless without enforcing your identity in Christ.
Yes! your authority is effective in the affirmation of your knowledge of the Lord and you can do all things if truly you are in Christ.

Evil spirits acknowledge the superior identity of the Lord Jesus. Therefore be on your watch.
Satan and his agents may appear very grand and powerful but the name of Jesus has never been known to fail.
And surely it will never fail you.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray for Your power and authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions.
Grant unto me Your power to be victorious at all time and authority over the wicked ones in the mighty name of Jesus.

Bible verse: Acts 19:15
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

Message
Beloveth, the devil and his demons are very real and they are out to take down Christians any way they can.
He loves to come around and torment believers with their past mistakes.
He likes to put doubt in their mind and tell them that they are no good. And he likes to distract them from the things God would have them to do.
If he can’t destroy, then he will try to cause you to become an ineffective Christian.
He knows exactly which buttons to push - doubt, or illness, or distraction, or reminding you of your past failures and sins.

Be strong in the Lord. and when Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future, when he reminds you of your sins and failures remind him of Jesus and that Jesus has saved you from sin through His death.


Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I humbly surrender my will to Your will. Please continue to reveal Your will to me each day in the scriptures.
Release onto me the authority to rule spiritually in my territory and everywhere I find myself in the mighty name of Jesus.

Bible verse: Proverbs 8:32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Message
Beloveth, which issues are pressing and what is tailing you and demanding you to take your eyes off of God?
Let the best counselor, the Holy Spirit, counsel your heart and direct your thoughts.
Be thou wise and considerate as not to decline hearing, receiving and obeying God's instructions, embracing His doctrines and submitting to His ordinances.

God is stretching out His hands to receive you. He wants to bless you, do you good, give you His directions.
Therefore hearken unto him for you shall receive favour, mercy and everlasting joy if you keep His ways, hear His instructions and keep them.
Living a life of disobedience, pride and arrogance and rebelling against God's glorious will lead you along the highway to hell fire.
Repent and ask God for direction and opened heart.

Prayer
Dear Father, I ask You to reveal to me Your clear direction and allow Your light and truth to lead and guide me in all that I do and all that I say in Jesus name.
Strengthen me to take the path You have set before me and not the path of least resistance and open my eyes to recognise all of the untapped potentials You have blessed me with in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 30:9
And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

Message
God's ultimate desire is to bless His children, grant then successful life, let them have enough and have a redundancy of the good things of life but then they must choose to listen to Him and obey Him.
With the kindness, favour and love of God, all protocols will be broken, impossibilities become possible, chains shall be loosed.
You will receive mercies for thy hurt, shalt have them for your good, your heart shall be so changed that your shalt not now abuse them, but employ them to the service of God the giver.

Belovth, it is disobedience, unforgiving heart, deceitful tongue, unguarded mouth, pride and walking in unrighteousness are the obstacles that will cut you off from God's blessings.


Prayer
Oh heavenly Father, let Your floods of success overwhelm my life; grant me good and healthy life to eat of the table You prepared before me in Jesus name.
Let Your name alone be glorified as I receive unmeritted favour and the blessings upon my handiwork in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 14:15 contd:
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.


Message
Beloveth, wise men do nothing by chance or mere hope. Only the foolish and naïve believe all they hear or read.
Yes! a wise and successful man will examine things carefully before he makes a decision.

The prudent man will try before he trusts, will weigh both the credibility of the witness and the probability of the testimony, and then give judgment as the thing appears or suspend his judgment till it appears.

It is folly to be credulous, to heed every flying report, to give ear to every man's story, to take things upon trust from common fame, give credit to every one that will promise payment.
The Scriptures warn: _*Prove all things, and believe not every spirit.*_

You are advised to learn to reject anything without proof, and also to learn the rudiments of evaluating proof.
Learn NOT to rely on rumours and fake news knowing fully that a testimonial is not a proof of anything.

Beloveth, caution is a sign of nobility, scepticism is a virtue and demanding proof is wisdom.
Do not buy information, goods based on saying "it worked for me". One man's meat is another man's poison.



Prayer
Heavenly Father grant me the wisdom to know what I must do, the will to want to do it, the courage to undertake it, the perseverance to continue to do it, and the strength to complete it in Jesus name.
Let me understand the risks and rewards before I choose a course of action In Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 14:15
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Message
The simple are gullible. They are not bright. They do not have conviction or ability to question and criticize new information.
The prudent on the other hand are wise. They have discretion. They are not gullible. They are sceptical of anything sounding too good, too easy, too neat.

Do you belong to the simple or prudent type of God's children?
Do you blindly believe or obey every word you hear or handle them with caution?
Do you understand the risks and rewards before you choose a course of action?
And what about careful examination of things before making decisions?
Are you enthusiastic about things because others get excited?
Beloveth, only the foolish and naive believe all they hear or read.
God has given you common sense - search things out.
Don't believe everything you hear.

Prayer
May the Holy Ghost empower my thinking faculty and crown me with wisdom so that all my decisions henceforth shall be in accordance to the will of God in Jesus name.
Grant me wisdom and knowledge that I may do what is good and true in all the days of my life.

Bible verse: Mark 3:24-25 contd.
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Message
Comparing our homes to another breeds envy and jealousy.
For our house to stand and be not divided against itself:
- we must be proactive, and not assume someone else will take care of things.
- we must pull together and listen to seek to understand one another.
- we must love one another as God has loved us.
- we must listen to one another in openness and mercy and stop shifting blames.
- we must listen to our own hearts in love and forgiveness.
- we must listen to God in quietness and awe.
- we must not allowed ourselves to be driven by our own ideology, passions, greed, and lust for power.
And we should be more concerned about any sin knowingly committed and refuse to give up.
Beloveth, responsibility begins with each of us because the satanic kingdom knows nothing of love or loyalty. It is fear, abject terror, which controls it.
And it is the will of the satanic kingdom to divided and destroy any functioning and united family.
Are you having challenges in your home?
Do not give the devil and his agents the chance to penetrate into your home.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, bless our hearts with love, our minds with rest, our bonds with unity and trust.
Let peace return to our home, o Lord and refill our home with gentle words until this home becomes a sanctuary, a harbour safe, a hope retreat.
We are covered with the blood of Jesus, and nothing will, by any means, hurt us or allow our house be divided against itself in Jesus name.
