Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?”- II Kings 7:3 REFERENCE II Kings 7:1-8 Have you sometimes wondered why many Christians still walk in defeat? It is largely due to ignorance and inactivity. Romans 8:19-22 reveals that the whole of creation is waiting on you (son of God) to take your place in authority, because they understand that God gave you dominion over them. Therefore, nothing moves until you move. From our passage, we see that after the word...
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. - Mark 16:17-18 REFERENCE Mark 16:17-20 It is the plan of God that every Christian walks in the supernatural, that our lives are lived beyond the natural, elementary order. He wants us to live as carriers of His power so we can bring remedy to hopeless situations,...
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. - Luke 10:19 REFERENCE Luke 10:17-19 Man’s greatest enemy from the Garden of Eden is Satan; he steals people’s joy, peace, health, etc., he kills businesses, vision, purpose, dreams and ultimately destroys lives. Nevertheless, Jesus came, paid the price for man’s redemption and gave us victory over the tormentor – Satan. The biggest thing Jesus did for us was defeat Satan. Because of what Jesus did, you have been delivered...
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD - II Kings 19:14 REFERENCE II Kings 19:8-20, 32-37 (Continued from yesterday...) The first thing Hezekiah did when he received the letter of threat from the Rabshakeh, was to spread it before the Lord. There are certain letters (medical report, termination letters, eviction notices, etc.), that you must not respond to in the flesh, but must take to the Lord. When certain issues look foreboding, become a mountain,...
Then the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What confidence is this in which you trust? You speak of having plans and power for war; but they are mere words...." - II Kings 18:19-20 REFERENCE II Kings 18:17-37 The account in today's passage is a typical case of having to contend with an opposition that seems larger than life. Such oppositions can come as health, financial, marital, emotional or even career challenges. In this case it was a physical army - the strong force of Assyria...
Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men. - Ephesians 6:6-7 REFERENCE Ephesians 6:5-8 As Christians, we should be guided by the principles in the Word of God concerning different aspects of life. As it regards the works of our hands or serving others, the Word of God recommends that we do it to please God; not our employers or those in authority over us, and definitely not in eye service. Our assignment therefore is to...
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.' - Luke 10:17 REFERENCE Luke 10:1-19 There is unlimited and so much untapped power in the name of Jesus. The disciples discovered it as they went on their mission – sicknesses were healed and stubborn demonic entities heeded their words of command in the name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9-11 shows that the name of Jesus is above every other name, and when mentioned, things on earth, beneath the earth and in heaven bow and confess that Jesus is Lord over...
The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it. - Psalms 68:11 REFERENCE Psalm 68:11 Today we conclude on our theme of the week, Evangelism. In a world of social connections and in addition to all the other ways we can evangelize, social media is one strong and powerful tool at our disposal. Social media is not inherently moral or immoral, it is amoral. It’s usage determines whether it is good or bad. And there is no better way to use it than in spreading the gospel. God is calling you to be...
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. - II Corinthians 5:20 REFERENCE II Corinthians 5:17-21 Today’s text reveals that God has conferred an honorable status on you…that you should be an ambassador of Christ. An ambassador is on a diplomatic mission to represent the interest of his/her country in another country. As it relates to you the believer, you are on a mission on earth representing the demands of heaven. Ambassadors function in several capacities, amongst which is to foster...
Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' - Luke 16:27-28 REFERENCE Luke 16:19-31 We can conclude from our text that many people on the other side of eternity (hell) wish somebody will come to earth to tell their family members to not come there. They wish they could return from the dead but God says it is too late for them because “the dead don’t and can’t...
