Theme: Examine Yourselves!

   

Memory Verse:Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves(2 Cor 13:5). 
Beloved, the new thing the Lord is about to do in your life requires sincere, honest self-examination. Brother Paul says : Examine Yourselves to see if you are in the faith(2Cor 13:5).

God is a wise builder. We are co-labourers with Him. 1Cor 3:9 says:For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. What materials are you allowing God to build you with? Remember that you are born again of incorruptible word of God: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever(1 Pet 1:23).

 

In the beginning the devil purpose of visiting is to destroy. The devil is a con person and a master destroyer (John 10:10a). Often times, he uses very indirect methods like enticement, deceit, seduction and manipulation etc. Many in the body of Christ today are under the bondage of the devil due to ignorance. Many are in captivity of fear, laziness, coldness, worries, grumbling, unforgiveness etc. Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted in your body, soul and spirit shall be rooted up in Jesus Mighty Name (Matt 15:13). Amen.

 

Do you have unresolved anger towards anyone? You might call it righteous anger! Do you have unresolved bitterness against anyone? What about envy? What about pride? What about indiscipline or lack of self-control? Yours may not be any of these. Oh, what about laziness? What about procrastination? What about miserliness? What of fear? What of little lies? What about lack of zeal for the word of God? What about oversleeping? What about eating too much. Songs of Solomon 2:15 says: Little foxes spoil the vineyards. Be open, honest, and sincere with yourself.

 

If only you allow Him, God is working through you in a way that will amaze even youself:Behold ye among the heathen,and regard, and wonder marvellously:for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you (Hab 1:5) 
Be transparent in your thoughts, words and actions. The kingdom of God is all light with no trace of darkness. Henceforth, may no evil force operate in your body, soul and spirit in Jesus Name. Amen. Received more grace in Jesus Precious Name. Have a blessed week

  

To have increasing spiritual knowledge, requires total fear of God, and spiritual training in the word of God: Train yourself to be godly(1Tim 4:7-8 NIV). Please, key into the Word of God Ministry.

 

PRAYER: There is someone reading this message, receive the grace of sincerity to embark on daily self-examination in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

 

In the Ministry Of the Word (MOW)-Acts 6:4, we primarily encourage, motivate and empower believers to be rich in the words of God: let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom(Col 3:16). The entrance of the Word into our spirit is the true source of light in a dark world(Ps 119:130). We also encourage believers to speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs(Eph 5:19). We encourage everyone to seek first the kingdom of God & his righteousness(Matt 6:33). We stress that righteousness exalts(Prov 14:34) and that we are established only in righteousness, which also free us from oppression (Isaiah 54:14). We stress that righteousness consciousness remove fear and brings about boldness(Prov 28:1). We emphasize that pure Christianity is about True Spirituality in Christ Jesus. We emphasize that the POWER in the blood of Jesus has set us FREE from bondage, and that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17). Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life(John 14:6). Jesus is the Word of God who existed with God from the beginning(John 1:1).He created all things and without him was not anything made(John 1:3) The words of God are spirit and are Life(John 6:63). We allow the Scriptures to answer all questions. We create the awareness of the truth that Jesus has made all true believerskings and priests unto God and his Father(Rev 1:6). In addition, as a spiritual body, we also empower unbelievers, using the principles of our Lord Jesus Christ with the understanding that when they witness the power of the living God, they will exalt his holy name (Psalm 46:10). One major objective of MOW is to increasingly improve spiritual understanding of everyone. Spiritual ignorance is a major cause of human destruction, even within the body of Christ(Hosea 4:6). Indeed, many children of God have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge (Isa 5:13). Please note that the MOW is an initiative and the spiritual arm of Abasi Health Foundation (AHF). AHF is a registered NGO in Nigeria , with the primary objective of empowering all groups of people to optimize their health. It is aimed at encouraging everyone to have increasing awareness of three broad levels of health: Physical, Mental and Spiritual. May God give you the grace of increasing understanding in Jesus Name. Amen.

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; :but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1 Pet 1: 18-19).

Theme: Let the Word of God Nourish your Health
Memory Verse:

“For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” (Proverbs 4:22).
Beloved

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” ( Isaiah 1:19). This season, the LORD wants his children to enjoy health and material prosperity in Jesus Christ. The only source of true prosperity is the word of God in Christ Jesus. 
The book of wisdom says:

“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my saying…for they are life to those that find them…” (Proverbs 4:20-22). The word of God can nourish your flesh or physical health. The Word of God says this about Moses at the age of 120:

“And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated” ( Deuteronomy 34:7).
If you desire to remain fresh even in your old age, then endeavour to key into the word of God. According to our memory verse, the word of God is ‘health to the flesh’. God’s desire and plan for his children is to enjoy all round prosperity: physical or material prosperity , mental health prosperity and spiritual prosperity. This is clearly stated in the word of God:

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”(3John 2). Most people would agree that God has the best plan for us. He says :

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” ( Jeremiah 29:11).
Diseases, sicknesses, poverty, frustration, stagnation are never God’s plan for us. The enemy has done this! Knowledge is vital. No matter your situation or condition, God’s word can reach you, heal you, and transform you. God’s word is not limited by physical or spiritual boundaries : 

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12)
“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalm 107:20).
Beloved, no matter your current level, you can go higher. If you are sick, thank God that you are alive, you can be healed. If you are in good health, praise God in Christ, you can enjoy a higher level of divine health in Christ Jesus, and keep sickness away permanently. You can be renewed through spiritual transformation by the word of God, if you focus your attention on the Word in total obedience: 

 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).
This is your season of all round prosperity. I pray that you will be willing. Never forget, in life, nothing goes for nothing! Salvation is free because JESUS paid for it. Let’s obey Jesus. What else can you render to Jesus?

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). However, the first thing you must desire greatly is total spiritual freedom through the truth in the word of God ( John 8:32).
Prayer: There is someone reading this message, receive the grace to nourish your body, soul and spirit with the word of God in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

WHAT COUNTS-by Rev A AKPAN

WHAT COUNTS

“My food, said Jesus is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work” John 4:34.

On a certain day, Jesus along with his disciples embarked on a journey to Galilee from Judea. They decided to pass through Samaria where he happened to meet a woman of Samaria origin. Tired from a distant journey of trekking, he sat down by the well presumably to refresh and take some rest before proceeding on the journey (4:3-6).

There he met with the Samaritan woman who came to fetch water. Jesus requested some water from her to drink, but the woman noticing that he was a Jew questioned why she should obliged him, seeing that Jews and Samaria had nothing in common. (Vs7-9).

Jesus took advantage of the opportunity and engaged her in a conversation that would lead to her Salvation (Vs 9-30). By this time his disciples had gone into town to buy some food, apparently having been hungry as a result of long, tedious trekking. On their return, to their amazement, their master was deep in conversation with this woman. When he was done talking with her and she left to announce that she had seen the Messiah, his disciples persuaded him to eat something. But Jesus said to them: ” I have food to eat that you know nothing about” (vs 32.)

At that, his disciples wondered amongst themselves if someone had brought him food while they were away. But He opened up and told them that his food is to do the will of him who sent him and to finish his work (vs. 32). That was what counts to him, not food, not personal gratification, nor interest, or ambition. But to do the will of his Father (serving God by any means and at whatever cost, busy winning the lost into God’s kingdom).

As followers of Jesus, this should be what counts to us. Nothing else should matter to us than getting involved in “the kingdom business ” Everything other thing should be secondary.
