Quit Her Bosom

Monday 29 February
READ: Prov. 7:25-27
MORE LESSON: Ezek. 18:20

While here on earth Jesus lived a life that was free from sin and did great works of salvation, healing, restoration, deliverance, because He laid on the bosom of God. Where do you live? On the bosom of Christ or the bosom of sin?
John the beloved knew the secret of success and thus leaned on the bosom of Jesus. He learnt how to live free from sin and to love. He was filled with the Spirit of Jesus and in his last days he began to experience the very essence of the Gospel. John knew the desires, taste, needs and feelings of the Master and he received grace and power for accomplishment. John heard the heart-beat of Jesus, which is love. On the contrary, Judas leaned on the bosom of sin. He heard the hellish gospel of satan and was weakened, filled with anger, greed and murder. Consequently, he could not hear the warning of the Master, therefore he died a terrible death. He that carries fire on his bosom shall be burnt (Prov.6:27).
When Adam and Eve sinned, the glory of God departed from them. They became naked and had to sew leaves together to cover their nakedness (Gen.3:1-7). When Israel under the leadership of Aaron made and worshipped the molten calf instead of God, they were not spared by the sword. Moses looked and beheld the people were naked, because the glory of God had disappeared (Exo. 32:1-10, 25-28). The road to righteousness and peace with God is acknowledgment of guilt, confession of guilt, as well as forsaking sin, and accepting and confessing Jesus as your Saviour (Prov28:13).
The consequences of God's anger are better imagined than experienced. The never quenching hell fire, the never dying worms, the thirst, hunger, agony, shame and fear of hell are too great. The Bible says God is angry with the wicked everyday.
Repent now to avoid His anger. Sin stings, Jesus saves! In whose bosom are you going to spend your day today? Choose Jesus’ bosom.

Prayer/Action
*Ask God to cleanse you of every past hidden sin and take you out of any wrong location and position.
*Tell the Lord you choose to live and die on His bosom only.
*Pray for as many as are still struggling with any type of sin, that the yoke of sin be broken off their necks today.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Thank you Jesus, You won again in February, You will win beyond December, glory to You forever, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Add and Add

Thursday 25 February
READ: II Pet. 1:1-9
MORE LESSON:Mk. 9:23-24

It is challenging to hear the Apostle Peter urge fellow believers (pastors and congregation) to live a dynamic and ever growing Christian life. The apostle says that although as believers the knowledge of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ has already been given to us, …all things that pertain unto life and godliness….: II Pet. 1:3 plus …exceeding great and precious promises….: II Pet. 1:4, we still need some other things to add to be able to stand solid enough so that we cannot fail or fall. He outlined such things, …add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity: II Pet. 1:5-7. Three things are the challenge in this scripture. First, I thought if we have already been obtained with the precious faith through Jesus Christ our Saviour, meaning we are already born again and on top of it we have been given, …all things that pertain unto life and godliness and have been … called...to glory and virtue: II Pet. 1:3, then we are complete. Therefore, there is nothing to add.
Second, the things the apostle asks us to add other things to are things that look sufficient in themselves alone: faith, virtue, temperance, patience, knowledge, godliness, kindness, charity. In any case, the apostle does not say we do not have some of these things already, but that we must add to them. Third, all this increase aside from having already …escaped the corruption that is in the world: II Pet. 1:4. So, what then is the lesson? That whatever be your height in the Christian faith, you cannot afford to stop adding. The secret of increase and growth is addition. No matter how small, just keep adding consistently and permanently. When you stop adding, you stop growing and start reducing. Even stagnancy is a reduction. May you increase more and more. This year you will not decrease, the Lord shall be your increase.

Prayer/Action
*Ask God to reveal your small areas to you and add to you.
*Pray never to stop increasing.
*Ask the Lord to increase every area of strength and deal with every deficiency in your life.
*Ask God to add every missing thing in your faith today.
Take a definite decision on what you can begin to do to increase your faith. For instance, how many books to read per week. How many hours of prayer you will add per week. How many souls you will harvest per day. How you will intercede for them each day.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
As I walk into this day, the Lord shall preserve my going out and my coming in; He shall defend me on every side, in the name of Jesus.

The Force of the Spirit 2

Wednesday 24 February
READ: Luke 1:30- 35
MORE LESSON:Heb. 1: 2-3

It is not everything that happens that can be accounted for by natural laws. There is more to life than meets the eye and it is the consciousness of the invisible force of the Spirit working for you as a believer that enables you to have faith. An angel appeared to a virgin called Mary and told her that she found favour with the Lord and she would conceive and give birth to a son. That is impossible in the natural; nobody in his right senses would believe that a virgin could give birth to a child because we all know that it takes a man and a woman to come together to make a baby. So Mary innocently asked the angel, 'How shall this be?' The angel explained to her that it was impossible in the natural but by the force of the Spirit, natural laws can be over ruled. The angel answered and said, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God: Luke 1:35.
It had never been heard before that a virgin gave birth to a child but Mary became the first as the force of the Spirit came upon her. You might want to do something and it is tagged impossible because nobody has succeeded in doing it
before, but that is not a problem, when the force of the Spirit comes upon you, you become the first to do it. If they tell you it has never happened before, tell them it will start with you, For with God nothing shall be impossible: Luke 1:37.
The birth of Jesus bypassed the natural order, His life defied natural laws, His death and resurrection were supernatural. As a spiritual being engrafted into Christ, you can suspend natural laws and get results from the realm of the spirit. Your health, business, career, child-birth, academics and ministry can defy natural explanation. All you have to do is to get into the spirit and engage the forces of Heaven. There is a power that bypasses natural order to get certain things done in life, that power is yours through the Holy Ghost.
Ask God for the power of the Holy Spirit to operate upon your life like in the life and ministry of Jesus.

Prayer/Action
* In the name of Jesus, I deploy the ministering angels of God to attend to matters that are proving to be beyond me.
* Father, let the force of Heaven swallow up every force of bondage, affliction and evil inheritance working against my life today, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
This year, I shall not reduce but increase greatly and all forces of stagnancy shall be no more in my life, in the name of Jesus.

The Force of the Spirit 1

Tuesday 23 February
READ: 2 Cor. 4: 18
MORE LESSON:Heb 11:3

The universe operates on the basis of spiritual forces. There is the force of the Holy Spirit ruling the universe and there is the force of darkness prowling around devouring people. If you are ignorant of the reality of spiritual forces, the force of darkness will swallow you up. Whenever the Bible speaks about darkness, it is not talking about lack of electric power, it is talking about a tangible force that afflicts and confuses people. The force of the Holy Spirit is the force of light and where light shows up, darkness automatically disappears.
I want you to know that life is entirely spiritual and it is the spiritual that governs the physical. This is the reason we do not live life by the things that we see but the unseen ( 2 Cor. 4: 18). Breakthrough in life doesn't come by physical exertion or mental analysis; the distinguishing authority on the earth is the force of the Spirit. Enough of toiling without discernment in the physical, get spiritual and engage the Holy Ghost to intervene in your situation. Living is a struggle until you engage the force of the Spirit.
There was a time that a road in Zaria, Kaduna State where I live, between the University main gate and the Police gate always had people die there. No matter what measures were put in place, that road would claim lives every week. It continued and several physical measures were taken to no avail until one day, one brother in our church also had an accident at that same point; he narrowly missed death. It was then that the Lord told me to go take charge over that place. So I took my oil by twelve midnight and stood at the center of that road. I said, 'oh thou force and spirit that suck blood for sacrifice on this point, today I by the grace of God that is upon me, confront you to relocate from here and return to hell'. I anointed that spot with oil, entered my car and left. That was it, as far as that spot was concerned!
Also, at that time, students and lecturers were dying; a high ranking official lost his two sons in one day and then the professor living next to his house lost his two sons another day. There were obituaries of both students and lecturers everywhere. It was obvious that a dark force was let loose on that campus. The Lord spoke to me to engage the force of the Spirit to terminate what the enemy was doing. We organised a meeting and the Catholic, Protestants and what have you came together under one umbrella, the Vice Chancellor and high ranking officials sat down at the meeting. There are times when all qualifications need to be forgotten because only the force of the Spirit can help at that point. After the meeting, to the glory of God, the plague stopped.
Today, the force of the Holy Spirit will terminate every operation of wickedness in your life. That power is yours for the asking.

Prayer/Action
* By the Spirit of God, I lift up a standard against every force of darkness assigned against my life, home, career and church, in Jesus’ name.
* Every force of darkness perpetuating evil in my family, I command you to relocate from here and return to hell, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
In the name of Jesus, I shut the door against the devourer in my finances permanently today.
