THE WORD WORKS!

"And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."(Acts 20:32)

There are several books and articles on success written by men without spiritual insight or scriptural foundation or revelation. Some Christians spend a great deal of time brooding over such materials in search of success principles, not caring to find out if these authors themselves succeeded through their own prescriptions on success. Hear this, only God's Word can make you a true success. Human knowledge or wisdom can't make you a permanent success in life. You need the Holy Spirit, the Author of life Himself, to teach you through His Word how to be successful in life. Psalm 39:5 says, "... Verily, every man at his best state is altogether vanity." That means you can't trust in the ways of man to become successful.

Human wisdom is not enough to put you over in life. Go for the wisdom of God. (Read Proverbs 4:7) The manifold wisdom of God is creative and potent –effectively vital to enforce successful desires into reality. God has  given us His Word to teach us how to be prosperous in life. If you'd only follow the Lord and live by His Word, you'll be a success and you'll have no fear of tomorrow. The truth is, everything–both spiritual and material blessings, you'll ever need in this life has been provided for–made available to you in Christ Jesus once you are saved. However, it is the Word of God that ushers you into that inheritance.

No wonder, Saint Luke in our opening verse said "...I commend you unto God and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, WHICH IS ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP AND GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE..." (Acts 20:32). This is done through the constant study and meditation upon the Word God. (read Joshua 1:8) When you study and meditate on the Word, you're building your spirit and loading up treasures in it. Soonest those good treasures you've loaded in your spirit begin to manifest physically.  Praise God!

THE BLESSED TRUTH!

The Prayer:

Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for your Word which is able to build me up and give me an inheritance in Christ Jesus. As I meditate more on your Word, my spirit is being loaded with treasures which will manifest on the outside in the Name of Jesus. Amen!

Kindly share this with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours as you remain blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen! 

Good Morning Everyone

REACH OUT IN LOVE!

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted..." (Luke 4:18).

There are hurting people all over the world today who need our love and care. We meet them every where we and everyday in our different spheres of contact; bus stops, shopping malls, workplaces, schools, on the streets etc. These are victim of harsh and cruel society; full of shattered dreams and unfulfilled hopes. Many of them hide behind shadows of cosmetic smiles, while others clearly betray the weight of their burdens.

Make a difference today in the lives of those hurting folks around you by showing them the Father's love. Never be insensitive to the plights of others. Don't be judgmental towards people, even when it's obvious they've made blunders. Many of them are already broken inside and don't need anyone to remind them of their wrongs! This is when and where love heals. Show them unconditional love and make up your mind they'll leave happy, encouraged and more strengthened than you met them.

For others, what they need might be just a kind smile, a gentle, compassionate touch that will communicate God's love and acceptance. The truth is, it is no mistake that you come across broken and sad folks everyday. God brought them your way so you can show them a new future that is lighted with hope because He has, "...anointed you to.....heal the brokenhearted" (Luke 4:18). Also, learn to speak words that will heal, build and encourage people. What you wish to ignite in the lives of other should be burning in your own life so the job may be easier for you. Let your life be a channel of endless expression of God's love!

THE BLESSED TRUTH!

The Prayer:

Father in the Name of Jesus, I thank you for having filled my heart with your love such that  I can reach out to heal the brokenhearted. Thank you for having made me a vessel of hope and love to my world. I'll use this nature of God in me to promote the kingdom of heaveb–bringing many to salvation through love in Jesus Name. Amen!

Kindly share this with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours as you remain blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen! 

Good Morning Everyone

CHRIST–THE HOPE FOR SALVATION!

"Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us" (Act 4:12 GNB).

It is a widely presumed assumption that  Christ Jesus, the Anointed one of God who died for us all, came for the purpose of setting up religion–Christianity. I got engaged in a conversation with some group of Christians and one of them said "Thanks be to Jehovah who sent His Son Jesus to the world to show us the proper religion to follow." Invariably, this fellow was having the idea that Christ Jesus came to set up Christianity as a religion on earth for men but is not just true. Understand this, in Christ religion is of men, but relationship is of God. God didn't send  Christ for the purpose of religion but relationship. God wants relationship with us through the death and resurrection of His Son.

Religion has been on ground before Christ came but that couldn't save the world of humanity. Even in Israel, they had their traditional means of worshipping or rendering services to God but that couldn't save them. God doesn't want humanity to perish anyway, so He initiated the idea of salvation as a means by which men would be saved and also ushered into relationship with God; it is through salvation that we receive the spirit of adoption as children of God. John 1:12 says "But to all who received him, he gave the right to become the children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them" (TLB). This means Jesus is our only hope for salvation.

Why don't you say 'yes' to this expression of God's love today? There's no repentance in hell. The only time you have to key into this salvation plan of God is now that you still have the opportunity to. Are you once saved and you feel you've lost it because you did some inordinate things and you got swept out of faith? You can still make it back into God's arms. He's waiting for you. The truth is, God's love is endless and unconditional. He still loves you as much as He loves Jesus. 

TO RECEIVE CHRIST INTO YOUR SPIRIT SAY THIS PRAYER WITH THE WHOLE OF YOUR HEART:

"Lord Jesus I Come To You Today. I Accept That I Am A Sinner, I Can't Save Myself, Save Me. I Believe In My Heart That You Died For Me And Rose For My Justification. I Confess You Today As The Lord And Saviour of  My Life. Thank You For Saving Me in Jesus' name. Amen! (If you just said that prayer, chat me up privately or write me through dblessedtruth@gmail.com God bless you exceedingly).

To everyone else; May the infinite love of God prevail in every area of your needs in the Name of Jesus. Amen!

Kindly share this with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours as you remain blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen! 

Good Morning Everyone

HOPE FOR YOU IN CHRIST!

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23 KJV)

As Jesus told of the signs of the end times in Luke 21:26, He explained that: "People will be so frightened that they will faint because of what is happening to the world..." The unfriendly events and situations we see in the world today are indications of the gross darkness that Jesus foretold in the Book of Luke.

However, even though the scriptures declare that these perilous times will come upon the earth, the believer in Christ has been advised not to be afraid or be in fear but should be in perfect peace. "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) That means refuse to allow your heart to be troubled by many ills plaguing today's world, for you are not of this world! Truth is, God has separated you from the world and given you a life that's beyond this world.

What matters is if you know you have this supernatural life, because if you know you do, you'll live victoriously and triumphantly above sickness, disease, failure, stagnation, lack and want and other vices that do not conform to this abundant life you have in Christ. Believe in God and live in the light of His Word. Job 22:29 says, "When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up..." There is lifting for you in Christ. Christ in you is the hope of glory. With Christ in you, you can never be disadvantaged or defeated in life. You reign with Him victoriously. When life looks dark and things seem impossible and difficult, hold your head up high and declare, "Christ in me, is my hope of victory in this situation". Praise God!

THE BLESSED TRUTH!

Prayer:

Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you for causing me to emerge victoriously in all situations through Christ. I reign above all circumstances inordinate with the nature of God. My life is secure in Christ Jesus who causes all things to work together for my good. I can never be disadvantaged or defeated in life in Jesus' Name. Amen!

Kindly share this with your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours as you remain blessed in Jesus' Name. Amen!
