Memory Verse :

Beloved

Whether you believe me or not, life is a battle. Everyone fights the various battles of life, whether you believe in God or not. Unfortunately, some believers are under the impression that once you have given your life to Christ, you can afford to retire to bed at about 7pm daily, and enjoy the comfort of your bed room, waking up at about 7 or 8 am the next day. This is absolute spiritual ignorance. The Scripture says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6); “my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge” (Isaiah 5:13); “through knowledge shall the just be delivered” (Proverbs 11:9).
In our memory verse above, brother Paul charged his spiritual son, Timothy, to war a good warfare. The Word says Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil: “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1John 3:8).
As spiritual Christians, let us go about our duties with the consciousness of the fact we are at war at all times-at our places of work, in our families, in our ministries, within our communities etc. We must also be conscious of the fact that the war we are called to fight is spiritual, not physical. “For we wrestles not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12); “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal…” (2Cor 10:4). Every true believer is a soldier of the cross. Jesus is the Captain of the army of heaven. He rides in a white horse. His names include: “Faithful and True and in Righteousness he doth judge and make war” (Rev 19:11), and “his name is called The Word of God” (verse 13). He wages war with sword from his mouth: “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations…”(Rev 19:15).

The weapons of our warfare are the words of our mouth! Jesus has given us “a mouth and wisdom…” ( Luke 21:15). We are admonished to make effective use of our mouth laced with wisdom in order to fight a good warfare.
Brethren, we are at war. But it is a spiritual war. It is a war between good and evil. It is a war between right and wrong. It is a war between light and darkness. It is a war between perfection and imperfection. It is a war between ignorance and knowledge. It is a war between sin and righteousness. It is a war against all forms of captivity & oppressions. It is a war against poverty. It is a war against sicknesses and diseases. It is a war against seduction and manipulation. It is a war against anxiety, doubt, unbelief, and fear. It is a war against unfaithfulness and insincerity. It is a war against laziness and idleness. It is a war against pretence and hypocrisy. It is a war against coldness and lukewarmness. It is a war against falsehood, gossiping, and lies. It is a war against wickedness, in all forms. It is a war against Satan, devils, demons and their cohorts. It is a war against untimely death. It is a war against all forms of crude and unjust killings. It is a war in defence of truth, openness, righteousness, honesty, integrity, transparency, divine health etc. Our Captain, Jesus Christ, is in charge. Let us follow his examples. His name is Righteousness! His name is Truth. His name is Faithful.
At individual level, if we must win the war, by all means, let us avoid the corruption in this world. Let us love righteousness and hate iniquity (Hebrews 1:9). Satan and his cohort can never defeat a Christian who is living righteous life and wearing the full armour of God. Once, you have given your life to Christ, and living right, expect challenges.
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army” (Rev 19:19).
“And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh” (Rev 19:21).

Speak the word only and my servant will be healed(Matt 8:8). Speak the word only and the captives shall be set free, fear shall disappear, ignorance shall be no more, abundance of grace & the gift of righteousness will come upon you(Romans 5:17), Satan and his cohort will be put to shame. 
To win the war of life, every believer requires empowerment of the Holy Spirit: 
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
 As a true believer, fight the wars of life with spiritual understanding. Aligning yourself with the Son of God will guaranty your freedom indeed, because whosoever , the Son shall set free shall be free indeed (John 8:36). 

To grow spiritually requires daily meditation with the word of God (Joshua 1:8) and seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33). It also requires total fear of God, and spiritual training in the word of God: “Train yourself to be godly”(1Tim 4:7-8 NIV).

  

PRAYER: 
There is someone reading this message , may you receive the grace to war a good warfare in Jesus name, Amen!
Father, we pray that righteousness be established in your church; let the FIRE of Holy Ghost be rekindled in our different nations all over the world in Jesus precious name. Amen.  
Father, please continue to expose every act of hypocrisy, pretence and evil in our societies and bring the perpetrators to shame in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Invitation!

If you would like to dedicate or re-dedicate your life to Jesus Christ, please pray with me: Lord Jesus, I confess my sins to you right NOW. Please, forgive me and have mercy on me. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Kindly fill me with your Grace, Mercy, Word, Holy Spirit and write my name in the book of Life. I plead the BLOOD of Jesus over my life. I believe I am now SAVED. Thank you Jesus. Amen! CONGRATULATIONS! Please, look for a nearby Word based Church to fellowship regularly.

Memory Verse

Beloved

Let not your heart be troubled (John 14:1). Trust Jesus to be with you in every storm of life you are passing through.
We are in perilous times. If you are a Christian and you lack spiritual understanding, you make yourself very vulnerable . Apostle Peter warned: 

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).  

In the last few years, I have been personally touched by the number of young Christians known to me, who became victims of the enemy’s weapons due to spiritual ignorance. 
Many a times, I struggle to understand why many Christians are unable to arm themselves with the greatest weapon in this world- the word of God. Apostle Paul calls the word of God “the sword of the Spirit” (Eph 6:17). A Christian who daily wears the full armour of God (Eph 6:13-18), can never be defeated by the enemies. 
According to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in our memory verse above, certain problems will not go away except through prayer and fasting. Unfortunately, many Christians find it difficult to fast on their own, unless they key into corporate fasting of their organisations. As a child of God, you cannot afford to compromise with prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting enable you to tap into the limitless power of the Holy Spirit which is freely given to every true child of God.
Without your organisation calling for fasting, with the consciousness of walking with Jesus, try starting the day without food or water, at least till noon. As you go about your daily duties, speak the word of God to yourself, others, situations and call on the Holy Spirit of God to work through you in Christ Jesus. If you are sincere, you will be amazed what the Lord will do through you daily.
Prayer is communicating with God using His word. Technically speaking, prayer is ineffective without the word of God. You can pray anywhere. You can pray in your toilet, kitchen, bathroom, car, at work, not only in the ‘church’. Fasting is a spiritual sacrifice that enhances prayers and strengthen the person. Many believers erroneously believe that fasting only relates to staying away from food. For this reason, some starve themselves in the name of fasting. Please, read the attributes of True Fasting in the Book of Isaiah 58: 1-12. The Lord declare in verse 6: “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? “(Isaiah 58:6).
As you you can see, fasting is a spiritual exercise aim to energise the person to greater works, not merely staying without food. It enables all contrary spirits to bow to the name above every other name. In Christ Jesus, God wants you to be free indeed(John 8:36); in turn God wants you to daily use His word to heal others, set others free and deliver them from destructions (Psalm 107:20). Remember, we can do nothing with our own strength, we need the Spirit of God ( Zechariah 4:6).

With what has happened recently in Southern Kaduna, Nigeria , it’s clear we are at war. It’s a spiritual war against the devil and all agents of darkness . As I write this message, I am violent in my spirit. I join my faith with those of ALL sincere men and women of God all over the world in calling on the FIRE of the Holy Ghost to consume the perpetrators of such wicked acts in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Like Bishop Oyedepo, I have been provoked in my spirit since the ugly incident. Please, be violent in your spirit and speak the word of God against the perpetrators of such acts (Matthew 11:12). Enough is Enough!
Have a Spirit-filled day. Speak the word of God to one another.

To grow spiritually requires daily meditation with the word of God (Joshua 1:8) and seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
Prayer

Father, please let your word come alive in our lives in Jesus name. Amen.

 Father, you are the consuming FIRE, we join our faith together with all sincere men and women of the world and call on the fire of the living God to consume the perpetrators of the Kaduna killings in Jesus Powerful Name. Amen. 
Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.

We are commanded to preach (share) the word of God wherever we go. Jesus said: “Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature ” (Mark 16:15). Never underestimate the power in the word of God you share with others, provided you share faithfully. Be fruitful in the kingdom. Do not deprive yourself of this great opportunity to showcase Jesus on a daily basis. Without Him, we are nothing. Without Him, we can do nothing.
Remain connected to the head of the church, the Word of God daily and see how much blessings will be chasing you.

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in Jesus name. Amen

The empowerment by the Holy Spirit is a promise to every Christian. Without the Holy Spirit, we are powerless. Without the Holy Spirit, we can do nothing ( John 15:5). You can never have enough of Him. If you have not yet been baptised in the Holy Spirit, please cry to our Jesus Christ to fill you up in accordance with His word. Jesus Himself needed to be empowered by His Father while on earth ( Acts 10:38).
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in Jesus name. Amen
