I NEVER FEAR
“And he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself, and he sat [down] among the ashes.”
(Job 2:8 AMPC)
When you study the Bible it is of utmost importance to study the Bible in context. The above verse is talking about Job and how he lost everything. Many who do not have accurate knowledge of the Word of God believes that God has done this to Job which is not the case.
“For my groaning comes at the sight of my food, And my cries [of despair] are poured out like water. For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, And that of which I am afraid has come upon me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, And I am not at rest, and yet trouble still comes [upon me].””
(Job 3:24-26 AMP)
Fear is what makes the power of God in your life inactive. It is an attractive force field that puts the power in the very thing that you fear. Job himself said “For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, And that of which I am afraid has come upon me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, And I am not at rest,”
.
“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.”
(Proverbs 15:4 KJV)
Many reason that if God was protecting everything that Job had why is it that satan could attack him and his family and his possessions? It was because it was not God’s doing but it was Job himself. The word ‘breach’ in the dictionary means ‘gap in a wall, barrier, or defence, especially one made by an attacking army.’ Even though God put a hedge of protection around Job and everything that was his, Job himself brought down the hedge by his constant confession of fear filled words.
Never fear and never speak idle words. Always be strong and very courageous and count it all joy when you go through diverse tests because the greater One lives inside of you that always causes you to triumph. Keep your confession of faith-filled words no matter the circumstance and see the imminent victory in

PROTECT YOUR THOUGHTS
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.”
(Proverbs 23:7 KJV)
One thing we have to understand is that satan is not after what you have or even after your family, he is after your thoughts. The opening scripture states that as a man thinks in his
heart so is he.
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the
abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
”(Luke 6:45 KJV)
The reason he wants your thoughts is because whatever you constantly ponder upon or meditate upon that is what will be deposited in your heart. Your thoughts ultimately determines
the words that leave your mouth and that is what satan wants: he wants you to speak idle words.
“Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.” (Colossians 3:2 TPT)
Satan has absolutely no power, he is a defeated foe, he has been stripped of all his power hallelujah! My point is this he comes with clever schemes that is why we use the Word of God against him. The Word says “..feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities,and not with the distractions of the natural realm.” and this is exactly what you should do each and every day.
Make sure that you “feast” on the teachings of your Pastor and meditate on the Word day and night. You are a victor and not a victim.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you that I know that I guard the affections of my heart. I am conscious that I have the helmet of salvation that protects my thoughts from lies. I meditate on the Word day and night which causes me to have the mindset of the Word in Jesus Name, amen.

USE YOUR MOUTH

“So they shook him awake, saying, “Teacher, don’t you even care that we are all about to die!” Fully awake, he rebuked the storm and shouted to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became perfectly calm.”
(Mark 4:39 TPT)
The disciples were in a state of panic and didn’t know what else to do except going to wake up the Master Jesus who was sleeping in the midst of the raging storm. When Jesus was awake He talked to the storm. What manner of authority is this? and as soon as Jesus rebuked the storm the Bible says that “…All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became perfectly calm.”
“He noticed a leafy fig tree in the distance, so he walked over to see if there was any fruit on it, but there was none—only leaves (for it wasn’t yet the season for bearing figs). Jesus spoke to the fig tree, saying, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again!” And the disciples overheard him.”
(Mark 11:13-14 TPT)
Again Jesus talks to an inanimate object. The Master is talking to a tree and He rebukes the tree because the tree did not bear fruit.
“In the morning, they passed by the fig tree that Jesus spoke to and it was completely withered from the roots up. Peter remembered and said to him, “Teacher, look! That’s the fig tree you cursed. It’s now all shriveled up and dead.””
(Mark 11:20-21 TPT)
Praise the Lord! The Bible makes mention that the very same tree that Jesus spoke to withered from the roots up and died.
“Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: Whoever says to this mountain with great faith and does not doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.”
(Mark 11:22-23 TPT)
This is why it is so important to come to the House of God each and every service because this is where your faith is being

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
(John 5:24 KJV)
In Romans 5:17, we read that because of Adam, death reigned due to his transgression and everything in the earth was under the curse of death, therefore everything in the earth depreciates. When you are born again, you are translated from the death to life as stated in our opening verse. This is why you must refuse sickness, because sickness leads to progressive death. If sickness tries to attack your body, don’t accept it! Act on the Word. As a child of God there is no death and no darkness in your path therefore, refuse to accommodate anything that’s of darkness. The Bible says, “…Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7 KJV)
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
(Romans 8:2 KJV)
There is a law of the Spirit of life at work in the lives of those who are born again that prevents death and sin. When you’re debt-free, it means you’re not indebted to anyone—you owe nothing. Therefore, being now death-free, you have no death in you. When we read Romans 8:2 again; it’s so profound. It shows you are free from death and the law of sin. Glory to God! Sadly, some Christians bring “death” into their lives, business, bodies, families, etc., by reprogramming themselves through their negative confessions but as long as you keep declaring, “In my path, there’s no death,” you’ll walk in the path of life.
Prayer
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from death, and the law of sin; I live and walk by the law of life, because I dwell in the realm of life. Life is at work in every fibre of my being, every cell in my blood and bones in my body in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

We have a work to do
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
(Romans 8:14 KJV)
People who are still in the world today are being kept spiritually blind from the Truth. Satan makes them believe that if they are a “good” person they are a child of God which is a lie.Satan’s nature is to lie. The opening verse is clear that it is only those who are led by the Holy Spirit those are called the sons of God. You must be born again for you to be led by Him.
“Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil,…”
(John 8:42-44 KJV)
Jesus was very direct. The Master told them either you are a child of God, or you are a child of the devil. There is no middle ground with God.
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV)
There is a god of this world and that is satan. He is the one that blinds the people’s mind, and he tries to keep them from hearing the Gospel. The reason he does that is because he knows as soon as they hear the Gospel and accept it, it will illuminate their heart and mind, and they will be plucked out from the clutches of satan and be translated from darkness into God’s marvelous light. This is why we have such an important work to do. We are the ones that have been given the ministry of reconciliation that reconciles the lost back to God.
God is counting on us to preach this Gospel to the ends of the earth and save the lost for Him. Hallelujah!

“who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
(1 Timothy 2:4 KJV)
In the opening verse we see God wants all men to be saved, and to come to the full, exact, precise knowledge of the Truth. The Greek word translated “knowledge” in the verse above is
“epignosis.” It means full, exact, or precise knowledge. Through the correct knowledge of God, you will be able to recognise what you have inside you, and who you are in Christ, you will
remain unmoved, despite any difficult situation. This is His desire. He wants us to come to the full knowledge of His Son,unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy
God, I will also forget thy children.”
(Hosea 4:6 KJV)
In Acts 28:3-6, while Paul was busy making a fire a venomous snake, provoked by the heat, bit his hand. Those who were around him were expecting him to swell and die right there, but
they were perplexed to see Paul unharmed. He didn’t even pay attention to it. The Bible says he shook it into the fire and went on discussing the Gospel. It was what the Apostle Paul knew that
made him so different. It was the knowledge of God at work. He had the knowledge of who Jesus said the Christian is and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.
“grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.”
(2 Peter 1:2 KJV)
It’s very important for a Christian to make time and give attention to the Word. Some Christians usually feed their minds with worldly resources, but their spirits are lacking God’s Word. If you want to see the glory of God in your life, then you must develop your spirit with the Word. You need the Word in you to li

“Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.”
( James 1: 22 NCV)
A Child of God that lives without the Word of God, lacks the best part of Christianity, which is ; to be a Practitioner of the Word ! We are practitioners of the Word when we do what the Word of God says we must do. Jesus never shy away from practicing the Word of God, instead every opportunity was used to demonstrate the
Word in all it’s form. Jesus could do it because, Jesus learn from His father.
“Then answered Jesus and said unto them,Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things so ever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. ( John 5: 19 KJV)

IN CHRIST
“And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.”
(John 14:3 AMPC)
What many don’t realize is the fact that Jesus is not talking about Heaven because the Heavens and the earth were already created in the very beginning(Genesis 1:1). Jesus makes specific
mention of a place that He is going to prepare.
“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 AMPC)
The place Jesus was talking about is Christ. “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether…”. The Word makes
mention of being “in” Christ.
“And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”
(Ephesians 2:6 AMPC)
Hallelujah! The day you accept Jesus is the day that you are in Christ because the Holy Spirit makes His home inside of you just like Jesus received the Holy Spirit when He was baptized by John the Baptist. You need to understand the significance of this: we are currently now seated together with Him in heavenly places. This means the ultimate position of authority. You
may reason that how can you be seated in heaven if you are on earth? It is because life is spiritual. The spirit-you have become one with the Holy Spirit and it is the spirit-you that
is in Christ that is seated with Him. It is not possible for the new creation which is in Christ to be defeated. Praise be to God forever more.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success."
(Joshua 1:8 AMPC)
Have you ever just minded you own business, and a negative thought enters your mind? It felt as if someone slipped that thought into your mind? This is where you must discern that some thoughts are not always from ourselves, the enemy can also put thoughts in your mind. This is why we ought to meditate on His word day and night. The Word should not depart from our mouths, which mean you must speak the Word of God only. When that negative thought comes, let's say there is a fear of losing your job, you say, no everything works together for my good. I will not lose my job.
“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.”
(Isaiah 26:3 AMPC)
Do you see it? When you are focused on God, it means you are focused on His Word, it brings about perfect and constant peace. You must meditate more on His Word than you do on the negative thought or the challenge that you are currently facing.
“Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.”
(Colossians 3:2 TPT)
The Word is clear that you should not focus on the distractions of this world but rather fill your thoughts with heavenly realities. The only way you can do that is to have a disciplined meditation and prayer life.

“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”
(John 1:16 ESV)
Not so many people are conscious of the favour of God in their lives. It's God's plan to favour us, bless us and make us live the wonderful life. If you’re a child of God, you’re divinely favoured, and it’s important that you recognize it. When we talk about being favoured, it means that God’s grace has been poured upon you in Christ Jesus. Favour comes to you even when you don't deserve it. You don't achieve it, that's why it's favour.
“And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]”
(2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC)
Favour means: friendly regard shown towards another, especially by a superior. It means a special advantage has been given to you for your benefit. You’re called to walk in God’s manifold blessings in every area of your life. The Spirit of God has opened doors of blessings and opportunities for you that can’t be humanly explained. He has qualified you to experience the great and glorious benefits of the Kingdom: “Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light.”(Colossians 1:12 AMPC)
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”
(Romans 5:17 KJV)
That’s what we received: Abundance of grace! You’ve got to take advantage of the grace of Jesus Christ at work in you. With that grace, everything works: The earth and the heavens responds to you; life is glorious; and whatever you lay your hands to

PROPHET GRANT BOESAK
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
(1 John 5:4 KJV)
You’re a victor in Christ Jesus; you were born that way. Refuse to allow the circumstances of life to get you to think otherwise. You’re born of God and have therefore overcome the world and its systems. While others may not see you as an overcomer, you know you are, because you’re born of God; your evidence is the infallible Word of God.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
(John 16:33 KJV)
In the face of challenges, and overwhelming oppositions, declare, “I’m more than a conqueror!” Remember what the Word says: “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). So, when adversities come, don’t grumble; rather, maintain your composure because your victory is assured.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”
(2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV)
Your testimony is assured, because you’re a victor in Christ Jesus. Nothing can overwhelm you, because the greater One lives in you and He causes you to triumph always, and in every place.
God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. This is your life in Christ! Your victory, promotion, and prosperity during economic hardship is unstoppable. There are adversaries on every side but through them all, the Word of God puts you over. Therefore, refuse to fear, for the Lord is with you.

“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength”
(Nehemiah 8:10 KJV)
One of the reasons God wants you to always be joyful is because that is where your strength lies. This means that if you are not a joyful person, He cannot use you; you won’t be able to fulfil God’s plan for your life. Remember after Moses died, God told Joshua to be strong and very courageous when he was going to lead the children of Israel into the place He had promised (Joshua 1:5-7). God didn’t want Joshua to be sad and discouraged but strong and courageous and to be focused on the Word of God like He said unto Joshua, as I was with Moses so shall I be with you.
“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted. “Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known[d] in all the earth”
(Isaiah 12:3-5 ESV)
You cannot enjoy the full benefits of your salvation if you are not a joyful person, because it is with joy that you draw from the wells of salvation. Learn to express your joy regularly by singing praises to the Lord and sharing testimonies of His deeds in your life.
“The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”
(Zephaniah 3:17 KJV)
You must realize that you are valuable to God, you are worth the blood of Christ. Value yourself and quit trying to be like somebody else. God wants you, loves you and is happy to have you. Therefore, be happy about yourself.
