A New Song II

Text: Psa. 126:1-2
More Lesson: Isaiah 55:12-13
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 100-102

Songs are powerful testimonies. The psalms and songs of David are still some of the most powerful musical literature today because they were not composed out of fiction but were by-products of encounters! The encounters that will make your story a best seller and your songs a must dance will catch up with you now in Jesus name. There are songs men write but there are songs that God gives. It is the song of the Lord that lasts forever. Y our blessing will endure.

The sound of your song will not fade out but it will stand out! All you need is one new song, not two but one. The one miracle that will settle certain things in your life permanently is a new song. Receive it now in Jesus name! The doctor might have been chorusing a song of hopelessness but I superimpose the song of total healing over your life now in Jesus name. From our anchor text, we see the gravity of the miracle the Lord gave His people. It was so much that they were both laughing and singing at the same time. What a Joy! Joy unspeakable is coming your way this year in Jesus name. God has a habit of embarrassing His children with glorious breakthroughs.

I don't care how long you have waited, this time around, your turn around will be embarrassing; it will be too good to be true! The Kind of favour that will make you a wonder to yourself and to the world around you will locate you now in Jesus name. You have cried too long, right now I reschedule you for singing instead of crying and beauty instead of ashes and the joy of the Lord instead of mourning. The devil will not rejoice over you anymore.

Every area of your life where you have danced to the enemy's tone, let power change hand in the name of Jesus. God is the song and laughter filler. He did it before, He can do it again. Take your own in Jesus name. When God is through with you, even the trees and mountains will dance and clap their hands and even your enemies will dance with you. It is your season of new songs.

Prayer/Action
*Pray that the season of pain, sadness and setback ends for you.
*Declare that it is your season of new songs.
*Declare that your life will attract people to know and glorify God.
Begin to sing songs of victory and greatness. ?

A New Song I

Text: Psa. 40:3
More Lesson: Psa. 89:15-1
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 97-99

It's impossible to separate joy and rejoicing from singing and dancing. Songs are the most natural products of the outbursts of joy or pain, that’ s why even crying is singing a song, inaudible as it may be, it fits all the characteristics of a song. The evidence of breakthrough is the new song you sing. Figuratively, everybody is singing a certain song. It's either the song of pleasure or the song of pain, the song of peace or songs of war, songs of faith and hope or songs of fear and depression. Songs are expressions of our present experience.

I declare that this year, God will give you a miracle that will cause you to break out into singing in Jesus name. You are coming out of that circumstance with songs of victory in Jesus name! Our God is a God of new songs. David the psalmist (Psa. 46) puts it like this; He gives songs in the mid-night! Looks at the children of Israel after 430 years of bondage, God gave them a new song to sing. The scriptures records that Moses, even though he was a stammerer composed a new song and taught all of God's people as they sang songs of victory.

That same God that can modulate and re vamp a 430 year old song of torment and captivity to choruses of Joy will turn to you now! I prophecy that it is your turn for a miracle in Jesus mighty name. The only songs that would be heard from your tabernacle this year will be songs of Joy and celebration in Jesus name.

When Jesus our saviour was born, angels appeared in the clouds and sang a new song. I decree and declare that in the name of Jesus by angelic arrangement, the announcement of your new song will be heard on the mountain tops for all the world to see in Jesus name. For every new season of your life God has a new song for you to sing. There is a song for every season. There is a song you must sing this season, and every pharaoh of darkness that has snuffed the song out of your mouth, may the hand of God snuff life out of them in Jesus name. It's enough of dancing to the enemy's tune. Arise, sing a new song in Jesus name.

Prayer/Action
*Thank God for the gift of a new song.
*Pray for God to give you a song that is capable of turning every sorrow in your life to songs of praise.
*Pray against every plan of the enemy to make you sing songs of sorrow and shame.

Intimacy and communion II

Text: 2 Cor. 13:14
MORE LESSONS: Song. 5:8-16
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 94-96

The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia. How much do you want the manifest presence of God? It is true that the presence of God is everywhere but the manifest presence of God is not everywhere. That is why we must desire to deepen intimacy with the Lord on a personal level. The glory of God beams out of intimacy with the divine. Wealth is a by- product of valuing the presence of God. Peace and joy are exclusive to those who have tasted communion with God. Do you want holiness? Don't just bump into the place of the presence of God, stay there until something happens. Are you sick in your body or mind? Like chaff in fire, no unclean spirit or disease can survive the holy presence of God. 

All the frustrations of the past vanish in the compelling presence of the Most High. Do you need wisdom to handle situations of life? Get a hold of the scriptures until it comes alive to you and the word of God will become for you the wisdom you are looking for. This is why the partaking of the holy communion table is imperative and should be observed regularly by all who want to experience the ever increasing power of God because it re-awakens us to a fresh revelation of the blood and body of Jesus Christ where all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge is hid. Col. 2:3. 

The communion capsules are intimacy initiators. That's why according to Paul the apostle, many eat of the holy communion and are sickly or die because they didn't partake of it with communion consciousness which he called "discerning the Lord's body".1 Corinthians 11:29. Complacency in the spirit is an expression of the spirit of pride because it tells God there is no need to strive for more of you because where I am is enough. But just enough is not enough, irrespective of how much of God’s grace and favour is upon you, there is more of God in God to be enjoyed by those who will pay the price of the extra mile mark to become people of an extraordinary mark in this generation. Are there still idols left in your life that are contending for the presence of God? How much do you want the presence of God?

Prayer/Action
*Glorify God because he has chosen you to be a carrier of his presence.
*Pray that wherever you go and whatever you do, God's presence will be evident.
*Pray for a deeper communion with the Holy Spirit.
Welcome the Holy Spirit afresh and fellowship with him constantly.

Intimacy and Communion I

Text: Psalms 119:2
More lessons: Deut. 4:29
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 91-93

Whatever we regularly commune with, we attach intimately to. The purpose of prayer, worship, study , congregational meetings, and every other exercise, activity and act of service we do in Christ is that as we commune with the Father in the name of Jesus and by the leading of the Holy Spirit, we may intimately know him for ourselves. Communion is powerful. Friendship without communion is a mirage on the highway. You cannot be intimate with a person you have refused to relate with.

This is why faith in Jesus is more than just another religion, it is a relationship. It is not man trying to reach God, it is God stretching his mighty hand and loving heart towards frail and dying humans all over the world filling us with His love and touching us in ways no one else can.

It is about sons and daughters of Zion getting lost in The Father's embrace. It's more relational than functional. It’s not just about principles, it's more about the divine presence that empowers the principles. We must press into the divine presence to enjoy intimacy with God. Moses saw the burning bush for a start, he saw the Red Sea split like walls on either sides, he saw ten plaques from God descending on the most power nation at the time, he saw food dropping from the skies for the children of God, amongst other things and in my opinion he witnessed more manifestations of the literal presence of God than any singular leader in history.

Nevertheless something kept burning inside of him with flames so hot and wild until he couldn’t hold it anymore one day in prayer and he cried out and said 'shew me your glory'... And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. Exodus 33:18. That is not the cry of a church goer, nor a give me-give me get rich fast Christian. It is the voice of one that is overwhelmed by deep hunger and strong desire to dive into depths of intimacy with the Father. Technology today has surrounded us with fast food, fast cars, fast communication, fast therapy e.t.c. So the 21st century Christian is tempted to import the idea that we don't have to wait for even God. We can just fast track our morning prayer over a cup of coffee and there is no harm done. But the Word of God insists that we cannot find God except we seek him with all our heart. When it comes to the pursuit of the presence of God, until everything goes into it, nothing comes out of it. No price is too high to pay for the presence of God. For he is more real than everybody in the world put together.

Prayer/Action
*Thank the father for continuous access into his presence.
*Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with deep hunger and thirst for consistent communion with him.
*Pray for discipline to seek God diligently.
Seek God diligently and consistently.
