Blessed of the Lord!

I affirm that I am a custodian of divine Life and there's divine Life in the atmosphere in which I live. Daily, I go out with joy and I am led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills are breaking forth before me in singing, and all the trees of the field are clapping their hands as I advance in life.

My portion (field) is blessed of the Lord! The lines are falling unto me in pleasant places and I have a goodly heritage.I am a joint heir with Christ and I am sufficient in His sufficiency.I make great and glorious things happen in my life, in God’s kingdom, and in the lives of others, to the glory of Jesus Christ.

I am up and alive unto God, fruitful and productive by the power of the Holy Ghost. I am complete in Christ; there’s nothing lacking in my life because Christ is my completeness! I am from above; therefore, I refuse to condescend to this earthly plane of life because as Jesus is, so am I in this world. Hallelujah!

The same way the rain waters the ground and in return the ground causes the plants to sprout and grow, to bring seeds for the farmer and food for people to eat; so shall my words go out to cause great harvest to take place on the earth. None of my words shall fall to the ground without results

Glory to God.

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.

SEPARATED UNTO BLESSINGS

Over the years, Christians have been erroneously taught that many of their problems are connected to generational, family, or ancestral curses. But that’s not true! In as much as these curses exist and can influence one who isn’t born again, they ought not to affect a Christian. Some Christians have nevertheless found themselves victims of so-called ancestral or generational curses because they lack knowledge of their new identity in Christ.

The Word Guarantees Your Success

This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success (Joshua 1:8 AMP).

True success is more than having a lot of money and a vast estate. Jesus said a man’s life doesn’t consist in the abundance of his possession (Luke 12:15). True success is the consistent and ever-increasing manifestation of the glory of God in your life. That’s why a Christian can be so successful, even though he’s in prison. Paul and Silas were in prison; they weren’t failures. Though they were in prison, they were successful. They manifested the glory of God, and lived triumphantly.

It makes no difference what your present situation is; you carry success in your spirit. The Word of God in you will take you from glory to glory! Absolute success is living in, and by, the Word; giving the Word first place in your life. If someone had a health challenge for example, and the first thing he thought of was “What drug can I take?” the Word isn’t first place in his life. If there’s a problem at work, and the first thing you think about is someone in a powerful position that can help you, that’s not giving the Word of God first place.

When you face challenges, go to the Word for guidance, counsel, and answers. First, be moved to pray. When you pray, even if you don’t know what the Scripture says about the situation you’re dealing with, the Word of God that’s stored up inside you will be stirred within you. The Spirit of God will bring to your remembrance His Word that’s in your spirit. He’ll stir it up within you. So, the Word is what you need; it guarantees your all-time success.

The Inward Witness

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).

God guides you through your spirit, and not your mind, and He seeks to lead you, primarily through the inward witness. This is the most important leading of the Spirit of God in your life and it’s available to every Christian.

Now, there’s a difference between the inward witness and the inward voice. Have you ever heard someone say, “Something told me to move from there; and as I moved forward, a terrible accident happened behind?” It’s not “something” speaking. That’s the inward voice; the voice of your spirit. When the inward voice talks to you, it’s a little authoritative. You could suddenly hear a voice from inside say, “Get up! Go and turn off the gas in the kitchen.” People have lost money, businesses, jobs etc., because they didn’t listen to that voice.

The inward witness, on the other hand, isn’t a voice, but a consciousness of guidance from your spirit. Imagine that you were contemplating going somewhere or buying a property; or maybe you had two jobs offered to you at the same time and you’re not sure which one to take. At such a time, what you need is to recognize the inward witness. How does the inward witness function?

You’ll discover that when you pray, a consciousness of joy wells up in your heart within the direction that God wants you to go. Sometimes, your head or mind may not agree, but the inward witness just bears witness within you that this is the direction. If for any reason, you consider going in the opposite direction, you’ll find a dampening of your spirit, not your mind. Each time you pray, the witness will come as though with hesitance and reluctance. That means it’s a “no.”

Some people have forced themselves to go against the inward witness, and they missed God. Some even wait for spectacular signs, saying, “Lord, if a dog barks at 3am from the right side of my compound, I’ll know it’s you.” God doesn’t lead us like that.

Through the Word and inward witness, the Holy Spirit leads and guides you from glory to glory. Train yourself to listen to the inward witness and the inward voice; it’ll save you from unnecessary problems in your life. You’ll have a glorious, successful and victorious life, if you’d learn to trust and follow the inward witness, and the inward voice.

You Can Face Tough Times And Win!

Wherefore take unto the whole armour of God, that ye many be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13).

Have you ever had a sense of foreboding of something unpleasant, yet in your spirit, you knew you had to face it? What do you do when you find yourself in such a situation? We can learn from the Master. The Lord Jesus anticipated evil. His fame spread abroad after He raised Lazarus from the dead. Some Greeks heard of Him and came to visit, but Jesus saw their coming as a sign and said, “The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified” (John 12:23). He then went on to show His disciples how He was going to die, and by so doing, bring many to righteousness (John 12:24).

He concluded by saying, “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came unto this hour.” Jesus was troubled within because of the evil He anticipated, yet He knew it was part of His destiny. The next thing He did was to go and pray, and the Bible says, “there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him (Luke 22:43).

To face tough times and win, you need strength from within, and that strength comes when you pray. Understand that the evil is not supposed to destroy you; God would never allow such. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “There hath no temptation taken you such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” That way of escape is in His Word. Declare God’s word in earnest, heartfelt and continued prayer, and when the evil comes, you’ll be able to withstand and come out victorious in the end.

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.

MORE THAN BLESSED

“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing…” (Genesis 12:2-3).

If you’re born again, you’re more than a blessed man or woman: you’re actually a blessing. Most of God’s people need to grasp the greater truth that they have become the blessing! Not only did God bless Abraham, He also made him a blessing: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2).

This didn’t end with Abraham, for the Bible says “…If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). To be in Christ means you’re born again, thus all the blessings God endowed Abraham with are now your present-hour possession, making you a package of divine blessing. I would to God you’d realize what a blessing you are as a Christian. No matter the health condition a person may have, just touching you in faith could heal him or her. That’s because you carry something inside you: “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels…” (2 Corinthians 4:7).

The Bible says you’re the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 3:16); that makes you the embodiment of the fullness of the blessings of God. That’s why it’s a blessing in itself to all those who are acquainted with you; they’re blessed, just for knowing you! Living daily with this consciousness will eradicate every sense of need or lack from your life. You shouldn’t suffer or put up with sickness or live a beggarly life, for you’ve been called to inherit a blessing.

Live up to your calling. You’re full of the blessings of God. There’s no blessing in this world or in heaven that you should be asking God for, because all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). You ought to be basking in superabundance! Others who come in contact with you should partake of the goodness of God in your life.

MONTH OF MOVING FORWARD

“…And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward” Exodus 14:12-16

“… Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-4,12-14

In our theme scripture, God told the Israelites to move forward. He did not recognize any limitation. God thinks differently and this should be our mentality. God wasn't looking at the sea like it was a problem. God told Moses to tell the people to go forward and that Moses should divide the sea.

In life sometimes there are obstructions, crises and seeming limitations. The Solution to that challenge or problem has already been programmed into the one facing it. You’ve got to learn that for some challenges, you can talk to them and they will get out of the way; some you should push down while others, you close your eyes and walk through them

BE PREPARED – HAVE A “MOVING FORWARD” STRATEGY

Deuteronomy 2:3  “Ye have compassed this mountain long enough:turn you northward.”

When the Spirit of God gives us direction, the secret is to learn how to take advantage of it. The important thing is take immediate action, do not procrastinate or postpone it because you will not get the benefits of it early enough for you to build on it.

The challenges that come to us are for our promotion in life. They are some that were predestined to come our way; that's why we must always be prepared. In your life, have no fears. You've got to go forward, make progress and advance. Do not complain about the systems. When God blesses you, you become a blessing and God's blessing is irrespective of where you are. Stop seeing your problems, see God.

Make progress; move forward! Nothing can come against you. Wax greater, gaining and gaining. My life will be an inspiring story of success and victory; a story of what Christ can do in and through the human body. We are born to shine; lights of the world; shining from glory to glory; I come with solutions; I have been impacted with blessings to bless the world; every step I take is a step of blessing; this is my 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!

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:

4. Military. to strengthen by rearranging the position of ground combat troops after a successful attack.

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!

The Peace Of Jesus Christ

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).

The words of Jesus above are just so comforting! He makes it clear that under no circumstances should you allow your heart be troubled, because He has filled your life with His peace. The Greek word translated “peace” is “eirēnē,”which is akin to the Hebrew word “shalom.” Jesus wasn’t just referring to the peace of being quiet from disturbance, but peace without agitation, full of rest and prosperity. Notice He didn’t say “…my peace I will give unto you…,” no! “He said, “… my peace I give unto you….” You have His peace now.
When you study Christ in the Word, you’d observe that His life, while He walked the earth, was a demonstration of dominion and rest! He was never perturbed or ruffled by anything! When the people needed more wine at the wedding in Cana, He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). When boisterous winds billowed against the ship while on a journey with His disciples, He hushed the tempest in an instant, saying, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:35-40). When He needed to cross the sea to Bethsaida, with no ship in sight, He didn’t panic. He simply stepped on the water and walked on it as though it were dry ground (Mark 6:45-52).
Anywhere, any day, and in all circumstances, He was always at peace and in charge.
This is how He expects you to live today; with the boldness and confident assurance that the greater One lives in you, therefore you’ve overcome the evil one, the world and its systems. You’re more than a conqueror. He said in John 16:33, “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.” In Him, you have peace— not fleeting peace—but eternal peace with prosperity.

Not only did He give you His peace, He also brought you into peace with God: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). He has brought us into oneness with God; there is, therefore, no more enmity between us and God. “For he is our peace, who hath…broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances…” (Ephesians 2:14-15).

Joyful Confessions

"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak". 2 Corinthians 4:13

For the divine provisions of the Gospel made available to you in Christ Jesus to become your vital experience in life, you must acknowledge what God has done for you and in you, and confess it. Many live beggarly lives, far below their calling because they don’t know how to make these “joyful confessions.” A joyful confession is declaring what God has said about you; rejoicing over who you are, what you have, and what you can do in Christ, and confessing it!

Others may say you’re boasting when you joyfully confess God’s Word about you, but it makes no difference. You’re what God says you are!

2 Corinthians 8:9, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

1 Corinthians 3:21 says “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.” Also,

1 Peter 2:24 “Who his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

Thus, on the basis of these scriptures, you ought to make your joyful confessions and say “I refuse to be broke, poor or sick!” Say this today and every day; make it your language. Remember, Jesus said you shall have what you say (Mark 11:23). Therefore keep talking right! Learn how to use your mouth to take possession of that which is already yours in Christ Jesus. Keep declaring who you are in Christ. Testify to what God has done for you, in you and through you!

The Psalmist said “I believe therefore have I spoken” (Psalm 116:10); and in our opening scripture we read that “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” That’s because our confessions rule us. So keep making those joyful confessions of God’s Word that reveal your identity, ability and inheritance in Christ Jesus.

Bless Your World With The Anointing

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you…(1 John 2:27).

    Acts 19:12 tells us that handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from Paul to the sick: “…and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” This is just wonderful! The handkerchiefs, of course, had no intelligence whatsoever, but they contained the power of God. Paul transferred the anointing of the Spirit to the handkerchiefs, and when the handkerchiefs made contact with the sick, healings took place; demons checked out.

    If handkerchiefs that had no intelligence could contain the power of God, how much more could you? Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, meaning that you’re a God-carrying vessel. You embody the very power of the Spirit.

    Be conscious of it. With this power, you can accomplish tasks that are humanly impossible. You have to acknowledge that the anointing is in you. The Bible says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” (Philemon 1:6).

    Get to know who you are; you’re a supernatural being. No devil, sickness, or disease can stay in your body. The Bible says, “…nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). “...Greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world” (1John 4:4). With you, anything is possible (Mark 9:23). You’re full of power.

    Reach out and bless your world with the power of the Holy Spirit: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, Bless Your World With The Anointing cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the Word of your grace which builds me up and fills my heart with
divine treasures, causing me to bring forth fruit unto righteousness. I declare that the
Holy Spirit is working in, and through, me today; I manifest your glory, and bless my world
with your divine presence that I carry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BUNDLE OF BLESSINGS

 

Many Christians agree that God blessed them, but not many have the understanding that they are indeed a blessing!

If you’re born again, you’re more than a blessed man or woman: you’re actually a blessing . Looking at the scripture in ( Genesis 12:2-3 ), you’d notice that the Lord didn’t only bless Abraham but also made him a blessing. This isn’t just Abraham’s story; it’s also yours because the Word says “… you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises” (Galatians 3:29 MSG).

If the people of this world knew just how much of a blessing you are,  they’d beat down your doors to get to you. Anybody could receive a miracle from the Lord just by touching you. After all, the Lord Jesus wasn’t conscious of the woman with the issue of the blood touching Him until she had done so (Mark 5:28-29). He was Himself a blessing, and all that anyone needed to do was touch Him in faith and receive a miracle.

Living daily with the consciousness that you’re a blessing will remove every sense of need or lack from your life. How could one who is a blessing think of requiring aid from someone else? How could one who is a blessing suffer with sickness? It’s impossible. The blessings God gave Abraham are now your present-hour possession. You’re a divine package of blessings!
