Your Partner for Inheritance

Monday 29 June
READ: Heb 9:16-17
MORE LESSON: I Cor. 2:9-12

Usually when a man is about to die, he writes a will and puts it in the hands of an attorney to keep the will in trust. A will is written instructions about what should happen to your possessions when you die. The attorney is saddled with the responsibility of getting the relatives together and making sure the inheritance is shared as stipulated in the will. A bad attorney can manipulate the will or can refuse to release the will. The implication is that all the beneficiaries are at the mercy of the attorney because he can alter the will.
When Jesus died at Calvary, He also left a will of all that He owns to His children after Him. There is, however, something very exciting about Jesus' will. He wrote a will and died, because a will is only operational after the death of the testator (Heb. 9:16–17). But our Lord Jesus didn't stay dead, He resurrected! He came back to life and He is alive today to supervise the implementation of the will that He wrote. Men write will and are no longer alive to see that it is done as they will, but Jesus died and resurrected and is seated on the right hand of the Father today supervising how His will is being implemented. So His will cannot fail because He who wrote it is alive to supervise and implement it. He is alive to empower the will, He is alive to ensure that all that is written in the will is all that you get. You can get all that is in the will because the author and testator of the will is alive. His cannot fail; the will cannot be manipulated, under-implemented or changed.
The Holy Spirit is the custodian of God's Word. He is the attorney who supervised the documentation of the Word; He as well supervises the implementation. This is one reason why you can be sure that every word God has said concerning you cannot fail. You have the Mighty Holy Spirit as your partner to implement the will because He is the facilitator of the will. God has not put the fulfilment of His Word in the hands of men but of the Holy Spirit. So do not fret; just trust in the ability of the Spirit of God to bring His Word to fulfilment.

Prayer/Action
* Give God thanks for the perfect thought He has for you.
* Proclaim that today lines will fall for you in pleasant places.
* Declare that your inheritance in Christ Jesus will not be taken from you.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, fumigate my life, sanitise it and make it free of every unwanted spiritual and physical dirt, in the name of Jesus.

Spiritual Sight

Sunday 28 June
READ: Matt 6: 22 - 23
MORE LESSON: Rev 3: 17 - 18

People attach a lot of importance to eyesight, and being blind in the natural is seen as one of the worst things that can happen to a man. This reminds me of the story of a beautiful sister who had a conviction that God wanted her to marry a brother who happened to be blind. When the lady introduced the man to her father who was a rich man, the father said that she must be out of her mind. Many things were done to discourage her but she held on to her conviction. She said she preferred to marry a blind man in God's will than to marry a man with sight if it is not God's will. The family finally succumbed and wedding plans were made. On the wedding day, after they were joined together, the groom's eyes opened!
Why do men attach so much importance to sight? Why is blindness seen as a major problem? Physical things actually portray a higher spiritual reality. Man's aversion to blindness in the natural is an expression of the evil of blindness in the spiritual realm,
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matt 6:22-23.
A man without Jesus is engulfed by great darkness and such a man needs to allow the light of life to come into his heart so that he may see, then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life: John 8:12.
A man, even a Christian, who is not full of the Word of God is blind because the Word is light (Psa 119: 105, John 1: 1-4). This is why you must make it a point of duty to be full of God's Word. A man who doesn't keep his eyes single and focused on Jesus will also be blinded by the distractions of worldliness.
This is the reason our text says that for you to be full of light, your eyes must be single. This talks about singleness of focus on Jesus. In Rev 3: 17 – 18, the problem with the Laodicean Church (which represents the End-time Church) is that worldliness and materialism have so much overtaken them that the Lord says they have become blind. But Jesus enjoins them to buy eye-salve from Him so that they may see. I pray that God will re-anoint you and rededicate you with His eye-salve so that the things of the world will not make you blind to the things of God, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you will not lose your spiritual sight.
* Declare, Father, because Your Word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path, I shall not walk in darkness.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I receive the key of David; every door that I open shall be opened and the ones I close shall be closed, in the name of Jesus.

Road Blocks to Advancement

Saturday 27 June
READ: Num 13: 30 -31
MORE LESSON: Num 13: 27 – 14: 12

God told the Israelites to go and possess the Promised Land, but they came up with some reports that posed as road block to their advancement to the fulfilment of their destiny. Christians are mandated to move forward in every area of life. However, there are stumbling blocks that can make you remain stagnant or even retrogress. Today we point out some of the stumbling blocks in the lives of the Israelites so that you can guide against such in your life.
1. Lack of relationship with God: It is obvious that the people did not have a viable relationship with God. They didn't know God; they only knew Moses. This was why they magnified the enemy above God. Only those that know their God can be strong and do exploits (Dan. 11: 32). Living a life that is far away from God will always impede a man from moving to the next level.
2. Unbelief: The people saw all the miracles that God did in the wilderness but their hearts were not persuaded to have faith in Him. Therefore unbelief stopped them from advancing into the rest that God had prepared for them (Heb 3: 18 – 19). I want you to know that it is God that has brought you this far in life and you should believe Him to take you to the next level.
3. Procrastination: The Israelites wanted a better time to go and possess the land when God had told them to go now. You must know that now is the time to take responsibility for your advancement to the next level. If you leave till tomorrow that which you are supposed to do today, you deny yourself advancement in destiny. Laziness is akin to procrastination and both are destiny killers. Don't procrastinate any good thing that you are to do for yourself or for other people till tomorrow because you don't know what tomorrow brings.
4. Un-preparedness: The final road block we will consider is unpreparedness. Down in their heart and mind, the people of Israel were not ready to enter in to their Promised Land. The truth about life is that there is no help you can give to someone that is not willing to move forward. You must be willing and make yourself ready for progress in life. An unprepared person will mess up if he finds himself at a higher level. Whatever is the next level you want--in career, finance, marriage, ministry and spiritual life--you have to equip yourself and make yourself ready from now. This is one of the attitudes you will need to get to the next level.
I implore you to evaluate your life today and take responsibility for your advancement in destiny. I release upon you the grace to move above obstacles and enter into your next level, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
*Pray that every road block on your path of advancement be removed.
*Pray against the road block of unbelief, procrastination, unpreparedness and lack of relationship with God in your life.
* Ask for grace to move above obstacles on your path of destiny.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, in the name of Jesus, I declare that the agenda of witchcraft shall not prosper over my destiny, in the name of Jesus.

Water of Marah

Friday 26 June
READ: Exo. 15:23-27
MORE LESSONS: Isa. 43:18-19

As soon as the Israelites left Egypt they had a problem as Egypt was pursuing them and the Red Sea was in front of them. The Egyptians must have been happy that the Israelites had no way of escape and they were joyous in anticipation of victory. But the Israelites cried onto the Lord and He divided the Sea so that His people passed on dry land. God, by His great power, parted the water, raised the sea bed and made the path dry, and His people walked to the other side. However, the Sea through which God's people passed became the enemy’s grave. So shall God do to your enemies.
The Israelites continued on their journey after the unique victory. They trekked for three days without water to drink. Therefore, the people began to grumble and lament, forgetting the great miracle they just had. Again, Moses cried to the Lord and He provided water for them. But much to their sorrow, the water was bitter.
That might be your experience. You have been looking for a job and what you got is not satisfactory, something below your qualification, that is, ‘marah’. Don't murmur and complain. What God did at Marah, He can do it again.
From Marah they moved to Elim where they found twelve wells, seventy palm trees and they camped there. That's the doing of the Lord. After the trouble and the tension at Marah, He moved the people to where they found rest. May you enter into God's rest. God who moved Naomi and Ruth from being Mara to becoming the descendants of Jesus will do same for your ‘marah’.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that this year, you will not move from battle to battle, there shall be rest.
* Pray that you will not live a life of complain but will always work for solution.
* Command every ‘marah’ in your life to turn to sweetness today.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I receive, from today, the sure mercies of David to crown my life and destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus.
