THE POWER OF PROPHECY

“Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom…” ~ Ezra 1:1   REFERENCE: Ezra 1:1-6   The Bible is a book of prophecies,’ containing over a thousand eight hundred prophecies. A prophecy is a prediction of future events (near or far). The power of prophecy is revealed in the fulfillment of many prophecies like the one in our verse of consideration today. Jeremiah gave a prophecy...

HOPE AGAINST HOPE

“Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.” ~ Romans 4:18 KJV   REFERENCE: Romans 4:18-21 (KJV)   Abraham has forever earned a spot in Faith’s Hall of Fame. It is easy to read about him today and not fully understand his situation when he hoped or believed in God for a son. It is easy to have hope for something that we know is possible, but when all signs show that it is impossible, hope is hard. Abraham had no reason to...

EXCEL IN WORK

“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”~ Proverbs 22:9   REFERENCE: Proverbs 22:29   You cannot write off a man ready to give himself wholeheartedly to his work. His commitment to excel in his work can make him bounce back from failure, revive his struggling business, restore his passion for life, and turn him into a prosperous man. A student who excels in work will move from failure to being on the honor roll, and an employee will become the boss. To excel in work...

I WILL RETURN TO YOU

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:14   REFERENCE: Genesis 18:9-15   The picture that comes to my mind is that of a young man who is about to leave his fiancée to travel abroad to study for four years. She is worried and uncertain about the future of their relationship if he would still marry her considering the ‘exposure’ to other ladies abroad. But he assures her thus, “I will keep my words, I will return...

THE LIFE OF GOD: REMOVE THE VEIL

“And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.” ~ Exodus 34:35   REFERENCE: Exodus 34:29-35   The redeemed man can receive, retain, and reveal the glory of God because He possesses the very life of God. When Christ came into you by the Spirit of God, the Zoe (eternal and supernatural life) of God entered you. It is a divine substance that can be communicated to people or things around you; the challenge...

THE LIFE OF GOD: LET IT FLOW

“And He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” ~ Matthew 17:2   REFERENCE: Matthew 17:1-8   Why should you be a possessor of the life of God if it is unable to flow into your world? One reason God breathed His life into you and me is so that we can transmit that life to whoever we come in contact with. The life of God is a living substance like an electric charge that can be transmitted to whoever it touches once it flows within a substance (a...

THE LIFE OF GOD

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” ~ John 10:10   REFERENCE: John 10:7-10   Jesus did not just come into the world to save us from sins or to make us Christians; He brought something more than that – He came to give us the very life of God. He said I have come that you may have abundant life; the amplified classic version calls it ‘full life and overflowing life.’ You and I are possessors of...

RULE BY POWER

“The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” ~ Psalm 110:2   REFERENCE: Psalm 110:1-3   No king who rules without power. To walk in our dominion and authority over dark powers, we must dominate by power. The only language the devil understands is power, and the way to generate that power is through prevailing prayers. As a believer, you must prioritize power generation; if you don’t, you will be like a man who has a gun (authority) but is unable to pull the trigger. When God told Adam to...

WHOLE AND WELL

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." ~ III John 2   REFERENCE: III John 2-4   God made you in His image so you would look and function like Him. You are to be a reflection of His essence here on earth. His fullness should be your identifying mark. He made you to be His billboard and prototype on earth, and He wants you to be whole and well. You are an epistle for all men to read and copy. Jesus said, "Whoever has seen Me has seen the...

SCRIPTURE SECRETS TO SUCCESS 4

“For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” ~ I Timothy 5:18   REFERENCE: I Timothy 5:18   Faith without works is dead, and in the same way, a vision without action is just mere wishing or good planning without good working is nothing. Collin Powel said, “A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” Furthermore, Thomas Jefferson said, “I'm a great believer in luck, but I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”...
