Your Testimony!

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony... (Revelation 12:11).

A testimony is a statement or affirmation of a fact. In a court of law, for instance, a testimony is the aggregate of proof offered in a case; it’s the statement of a witness. Our opening scripture says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”The question is, “What’s your testimony?” Your testimony is your witness of Christ. It’s your declaration of the activity of His Word and grace in your life.

What’s your testimony of Him? For me, I testify that I’m walking in His grace and in His victory! I testify that I’m winning in everything that I do! I testify that I’m excellent all the way! I testify that His grace is working in, for, and through me! I testify that the Lord is my Rock and my Strength! I testify that I’m more than a conqueror; greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world!

Testify of your victories; testify of what He’s done in your life. Sometimes, the problem is that some people want to feel or see it first before they testify. But it’s not so. Testify! Don’t wait to feel or see anything; His Word is real; that should be the basis of your testimony; and that’s what overcomes the enemy, Satan.

When people are crying, “Life is very hard these days,” you should declare, “I’m highly favoured and abundantly blessed of God!” That becomes your testimony, and with it, you overcome limitations. When you speak God’s Word and testify of Him, you bring His presence into the situation. Let His testimony be on your lips always—the testimony of His Word and efficacy of the Spirit to put you over and above every situation.

Maintain God’s testimony of you; His testimony is that you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus! His testimony is that you’re more than a conqueror! Affirm the same things in consent with Him. Every day, say what God has said about you: “...He hath said…so that we may boldly say...” (Hebrews 13:5-6). The glorious things He has spoken about you in His Word (Psalm 87:3) are your testimonies! Proclaim them boldly.

God Bless You.

Don't forget to share your testimonies with us!

PRAYER THAT WORKS

“Elijah was as completely human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for the next three and a half years! Then he prayed again, this time that it would rain, and down it poured, and the grass turned green and the gardens began to grow again.” (James 5:17-18 TLB)

When the children of Israel descended into idolatry, Elijah wanted to teach them a lesson and get them back to God. So he prayed for the rain to stop, and it didn’t rain in Israel for three-and-a-half years. When the people repented, Elijah prayed again for rain to fall, and the Lord said to him, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth” (1 Kings 18:1 RSV). Elijah knew God had answered his prayer, but he didn’t just sit there twiddling his thumb and waiting for the rain to fall. He went back on his knees and continued in fervent prayer (1 Kings 18:41-45).

There may have been times the Spirit of God let you know He already answered your prayer, and so, in excitement, you made it public. But when things didn’t turn out the way you expected, you asked, “What did I do wrong?” Well, it wasn’t so much what you did wrong, but what you stopped doing— you left off praying!

Your prayer is required to remove every obstacle and bring God’s Word to pass in your life! There are things you may not know to do until you spend time in prayer; then, God can reveal to you the steps you need to take. Christianity is a life of faith alright, but fervent prayer has its place. Don’t be perturbed by the things that appear unfavourable at the moment. Continue to pray in faith until you see the desired result. Press on in prayer!

Your Set Time To Laugh!

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision (Psalm 2:4).

Sadness, Sorrow and regret are inconsistent with the Life that God has given to you in Christ. You were born into a life of unending joy, victory and advantage, thus laughter ought to be an integral part of your daily routine. People who don't laugh are usually weighed down by the cares of this world. They believe life is "serious business" and as such, they hardly find any reason to smile, let alone laugh. But laughter is therapeutic as well as spiritual.

That's why the Bible declares that "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones" (Proverbs 17:22). Why wouldn't you laugh when you know that you're more than a conqueror? Why shouldn't you laugh when you know that all things work together for your good?

It doesn't matter what comes against you in life, learn to laugh your way to victory. Refuse to allow circumstances to dictate your happiness. The opening Scripture shows us that God laughs at the rantings of His enemies. Like your heavenly Father, learn to laugh the enemy to scorn when he starts throwing his tantrums at you. When tough times come, that's the time to laugh, for there's absolutely nothing the enemy could do to harm you.

No wonder Apostle James admonished that you ''count it all joy when you go through diverse tests"(James 1:2). If you've been facing trying times, I recommend to you ''laughing sessions." Sit all by yourself and meditate on the victorious life Christ has brought you into and begin to laugh! At first, you might even look ridiculous to yourself, but keep at it. It won't be long before the anointing comes on you, and you'll find yourself declaring the Word of God that'll change things.

Refuse to allow the circumstances of life to control your happiness; it's your set time to laugh your way to victory.

You’re The Blessed Of The Lord

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

Notice the construction above; the Apostle Paul wasn’t praying or making entreaties or begging God for spiritual blessings, no! It’s an energetic outburst of luxuriant, profuse, and exuberant worship. He glorifies the Lord who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms. He had the mentality that he was already blessed with all spiritual blessings that exist, and became poetic in praise. This should be your testimony!

Be full of praise to God because there’s nothing you don’t have, and there’s nothing you can’t do! You’ve been endowed spiritually with all things, and for all things. Why did Paul use the phrase "spiritual blessings?" It’s because if you have the spiritual blessings, then you have all earthly blessings, because the spiritual gives birth to the physical. The lesser is included in the greater.

This world came from the spirit realm. The Bible says in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1). God is a Spirit; so, the spirit-world pre-existed the physical world. Therefore, the spiritual blessings are greater than the physical blessings, because they’re the ones that give rise to the physical blessings. So, there’s no need to beg God to bless you; instead, become exuberant with Him in praise for already blessing you with all spiritual blessings.

He’s given you all things (1 Corinthians 3:21), and made you a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). He’s made you sufficient in His sufficiency; to be fruitful and productive in every good work. He’s given you His Spirit to lead and guide you in wisdom to fulfill your destiny in Him and be all that He’s ordained you to be. This should be your thinking, testimony, and worship.

Learn to say, "Blessed be God, who has blessed me in all things, and made me the testimony of His glory and revelation of His grace and righteousness." You’re the blessed of the Lord, and not only that, you’re also the conveyor and vent of His blessings.

UNENDING JOY

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3 NIV)

            From the moment you were born again, you were brought into a life of unending joy.  The Bible says in Romans 14: 17, "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Joy is an emotion evoked by satisfaction, appreciation and pleasure.  God was joyful when He created the earth; He appreciated what He made and took pleasure in it (Genesis 1:31).

            The joy you have is not of this world, but of God; therefore it's independent of external circumstances. I Peter 1:8 describes it as "...joy unspeakable and full of glory." Everywhere Jesus went during His earthly walk, He brought joy to people, and He still does today.  The joy that comes from your inner man (your spirit) transcends physical circumstances; it's permanent, and it'll keep you strong and healthy.  The Bible says, "A merry heart doeth good like medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones" (Proverbs 17:22 KJV).

            Learn to be joyful and maintain a happy spirit always.  Joy is a fruit of the recreated human spirit (Galatians 5:22), so you can be joyful at all times.  Produce joy from your spirit by making melodies and singing new songs from your heart to the Lord.  The Lord delights to hear your joyful praise.  Nehemiah 8:10 says, "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength." God needs you to be joyful so you can transfer that same joy to your environment, for you can't make others joyful until you're full of joy yourself.

Christ Is Alive In Me

I affirm that Christ is alive in me; His divine life is manifested in my spirit, soul and body and in every fiber of my being. He’s made me a champion and a victor forever! He is my life; in Him I live and move and have my being! He’s made me a wonder. Hallelujah. All things are mine! I lack nothing, because the Lord is my sufficiency; He makes me lie down in green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters! His divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. Hallelujah.

I refuse to be under the pressure, for the Lord is my salvation, and upon Him, I’ve cast all my cares, living the transcendent life, and enjoying peace with prosperity. My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. I am the seed of Abraham and therefore an heir according to the promise. I belong to the wealthiest and most sublime family there is, and I walk in blessings untold. I am empowered to prosper, and positioned to be fruitful and productive, glorifying God with my life, blessed be God. Hallelujah!

Keep saying it, don’t stop talking it! If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. You can now reach us on: 

Wisdom: A Compelling Force!

Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding (Proverbs 4:7).

True wisdom is of the Spirit. It’s more than the mere application of knowledge as many often define it. There’re those who can theorize and astound you with the vastness of their knowledge, yet that doesn’t mean they’re wise.

Wisdom is a compelling force. It makes you do the things you should do, and say the things you should say excellently and at the right time. It causes you to function beyond your human reasoning. When a man lacks the wisdom of God, he’ll think the wrong thoughts, say the wrong words, do the wrong things, and make the wrong choices. But when divine wisdom works in you, you make accurate choices and judgments without having to reason them out first.

No wonder the Apostle Paul said, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Wisdom is that controlling power that works in us, not just to will but also to do the will of God. It’s the compelling force that causes you to walk with divine insight in God’s perfect will for your life.

Thanks be unto God, who has made divine wisdom available to you in Christ: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Thus, that compelling force to think, act, and function at a high level of excellence has been made available to you in Christ. Recognize and take advantage of it today.

Be Prosperous And Effective!

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian (Genesis 39:2).

Joseph was described as “a prosperous man” despite being a slave in Potiphar’s house. This shows that prosperity isn’t a function of your career or assignment, but a product of your spirit. In our opening verse, the word “prosperous” is translated from the Greek word “Tsalach,” which means to be prosperous and effective. Thus, not only was Joseph prosperous, he was also effective. Even though he had been sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, his ordeal didn’t taint the quality of his spirit. He recognized that the Lord was with him, and so exuded the spirit of a prosperous man.

The Bible says in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” This implies that the story of Joseph was written for our learning. So, can it be said of you that you’re prosperous and effective in the things that you do?

Today, the same Lord that was with Joseph is with you and lives in you in the Person of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). Talking about Him, Jesus said, “…he (the Holy Spirit) shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance…” (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit living in you will teach you how to be more effective in the things God has called you to do, if only you’d acknowledge His indwelling and abiding presence in your life.

AFFIRMATION

I affirm that there's a higher calling upon my life. My life is programmed for the top, therefore, I refuse to allow the circumstances of my environment color my mindset. God had picked me out of the masses; out of the corruptive influence of this world; I'm of a different breed! My sufficiency is of God; who had made me an able minister of the New Testament. My life is predestined by God and nothing is permitted to happen to me by chance. I refuse to be limited in life! My background, my age, the economy situation of the nation which I live, the color of my skin, educational and financial background etc., will never limit me in life. Nothing and no one is powerful enough to place a limit on me. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I can accomplish anything, do anything, go anywhere, and be all that God had destined for me to be. The wisdom of God is working in me, and I refuse to struggle in life. The Holy Spirit is alive in me, with unlimited powers, abilities, and potentials. There's no limit to what I can be or become in life. Hallelujah!

I affirm that I'm a success!!! The wisdom of God is working in me mightily. I can't think otherwise because the word of God has given me a mentality! I have the mentality of a CHAMPION. Halleluia! God is perfecting all that concerns me. He is causing all things to work together for my good! By the reason of my fellowship and partnership with the Holy Spirit, He has made me a distributor of eternal verities to my world. There's no man, nation, laws that can place a limit on me because greater is He that is in me, than He that is in the world. Even as I speak, Angels are dispatched for my favour. The word of God is producing result in every area of my Life... even in my ministry as a soul winner! Gods blessings have overshadowed me... They have gone ahead of me to make every unpleasant path, unpleasant days to become pleasant. Glory to God!

AFFIRMATIONTRAIN

I affirm that the Word of God in my mouth is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, filled with divine energy to turn any situation around for my good. God's Word is in my mouth today, and with it I prevail over circumstances. I'm sufficient in Christ's sufficiency, and nothing is impossible to me. The Lord has set me on high; glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in His dwelling! Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for He's my shield and eternal protection. I’m born of the Word and filled with the Holy Spirit, I’m impregnable to anything that hurts or binds, because I hail from God! I'm blessed and fortified in Christ Jesus with everything I need for life, and godliness, Halleluiah!

I affirm that I was born for a reason and my life is for the glory of God! I was born to give Him honour, and show forth His virtues and perfection in this world. God's wisdom, grace, and righteousness are revealed, as He make manifest the savour of His knowledge through me in every place. This is my destiny: living for the One who loved me and gave Himself for me! God's spirit is manifesting Himself in all facets of my life, causing me to display the many-sided wisdom and excellence of God in all that I do. God is the source of my supply! I'm not afraid of anything because He hasn’t given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind! He's my help and my ability. He’s my strength and my sufficiency; and I can do all things by His power that works in me mightily. I'm moving forward by the power of the Holy Spirit, making progress with giant strides, and waxing stronger every day, in health, prosperity, and success. Blessed be God!

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. Don't stop talking! Get your clouds fill with the right words. You can start out today. God bless you.

GATHERING SHEAVES

Mark 6: 31 - 44
This month bring in all the harvest, gather the fragments and let nothing be lost. Call forth the harvest and bring in all the Souls that have been won. This is also a month of Consolidation

Key points in Mark 6: 31 - 44 about the Seed and the Harvest

1. The Young lad saw the situation and brought what he had – five loaves and two fishes. Verse 38

No Seed is too small. Every Seed has the power to produce a harvest.

2.  Jesus received “the seed”, gave thanks and blessed it. Verse 41

Learn to give thanks. Our man of God has thought us to invoke the blessing on our Seeds and offerings, that it may multiply and become more than enough for what it was intended to accomplish.

3.  They gathered up the fragments and realized not only the miracle of feeding over 5,000 people but the harvest afterwards – 12 Baskets! – Verse 43.

Call in the harvest. Without this you may not realize what has come in.

This is one of the principles of Consolidation.

Consolidation - Definition

1. to bring together (separate parts) into a single or unified whole; unite; combine

2. to discard the unused or unwanted items of and organize the remaining:

3. to make solid or firm; solidify; strengthen:

Consolidate all the gains from the beginning of this year, all the Seeds sown, all the Souls won, all the work put into that project and rejoice over them. Gather all the blessings! Haleluyah!

CONFESSION:
I am strengthened with the strength of God. I am Fruitful and Productive. I am effective. I am blessed. I am joyful everyday. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water. My leaves are ever fresh. Everything I do prospers. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world! Glory! Glory! Glory!

DECLARATION OF FAITH

I affirm that I'm righteous and holy! I'm walking in the light of my justification, rejoicing in the life of glory and righteousness in Christ! Having been justified by faith, I have peace with God, absolved of all guilt, free to live and serve the Lord joyously, and gloriously. Sin and it negative effect shall never have dominion over me because I've put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. I’m not ordinary; I’m a vital member of the family of God— a member of Christ’s body, of His flesh, and of His bones. I've been called into the class of God; therefore, I'm invigorated with divine might and ability in my spirit for the supernatural. I’m empowered to do the impossible, for greater is He that’s in me, than he that's in the world. Halleluia!

I affirm that God had made every favour and earthly blessing come to me in abundance, so that I may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need, be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support, and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation. I'm God's choice! There’s no failure nor defeat on my path! I’m a possessor of all things, being an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ. I’ve been declared righteous, unblameable, unreprovable and brought into the life of peace that transcends all understanding. Glory to God!
