MOVING HIGHER IN GOD

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night; that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” Joshua 1:8

The Word of God says in Matthew 12:34; that Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. In Proverbs 18:21; it says that Death and life are in the tongue and those that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. What controls your heart controls your mouth (words) and eventually controls the course of your life. To move higher in God and in the things He has called you to do, there are things you must do to walk in the path of your destiny in God.  
                                                                                             `  Walk in Love: Be kind to people. Your relationship and attitude to other people is important. God takes interest in our relationship with one another. Be a builder of men, a helper; walk in love. Be a man or woman of no offense (Matthew 5:23 -24). Whatever you give attention to, you become better at it. Practice kindness; use the right words when you communicate with others. Treat people right; watch your relationship with others. God tells a man that cares. When you care about others you will receive insight and then foresight into the future.

Be humble: Humility is yielding to the Word of God. It’s when the Word of God becomes law in your heart. It is giving His Word pride of place in your heart and subjecting yourself to the Word of God in all you do (Psalm 37 – Study).When you are humble, God gives grace to you.

Testify (Malachi 3:16): Learn to share testimonies. Don’t be a bearer of bad news but that of good news (Romans 10:13 -15). Share the testimonies of the great things God has done in your life and in the life of those around you.  

Be a faithful steward and custodian (1 Corinthians 4:2): Faithfulness with what you have is a strong reason for promotion. Take care of things that have been put under your care. Attend faithfully to whatever you do and as you do this, God turns on the light in your spirit to receive inspiration and ideas. Then He begins to open doors in accordance with the inspiration He’s giving you. And whatever God needs to do to put you in that place that He spoke about, He will do it speedily. 

To move higher in the things of God and most of all in your relationship with Him, you must give quality time to the study of His Word. It is also important that as you study the Word you commit yourself to doing what the Word has said concerning you in all situations no matter the circumstance. Let the Word of God be your constitution for life. The Word of God says in James 1:22; But be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only; deceiving your own selves.   You are a doer of the Word

Success Without Struggle

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest , he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his (Hebrews 4:9-10).

    Notice the underlined phrase above: “For he that is entered into his rest….” That rest, is the rest in Christ; it’s much more than the rest for the physical body. It’s rest for your soul, where you don’t struggle or toil for anything whatsoever. As a new creation, everything required for your success, prosperity, victory, health and greatness has been made available in Christ. So, you don’t have to struggle in life anymore, for you’ve entered God’s rest.

    There’re many who haven’t realized this truth, and therefore, can’t walk in the vantage position of rest. In their jobs, businesses, projects, or even their evangelical responsibilities, they labour, toil, and struggle. But Christ is our rest. Our struggling doesn’t please God. That’s why the Holy Spirit was sent to help us. John 14:16 (AMP) says, “And
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever.” He’s here today, and now;
He’s your Helper.

    We’re living in the day of rest, ruling, and reigning with the King, seated together with Him in heavenly places: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). Notice that scripture doesn’t say “We’ve been made to stand together in heavenly places,” no! We’re seated with Him; and that’s not the position of hardship, struggle, or labour; it’s a position of Success Without Struggle rest. The work has been done in Christ Jesus; now He says,“Enjoy all things. Live in my rest, for all things are yours.”

    Even your evangelical work shouldn’t be a struggle. Recognize this truth, and with that consciousness, preach and teach the Word; the power of the Spirit will be in it and convict or stir your hearers. It’s part of your blessing as the seed of Abraham, to excel and make progress in life, from glory to glory, without struggling.

CONFESSION
I’m a new creation in Christ, the seed of Abraham, and an heir according to the promise. I live
perpetually in the rest of God, for Christ is my Sabbath. Now and always, I walk in His glory, for I’ve been ordained to excel, win, and make progress from glory to glory, without struggles or anxieties. Blessed be God!

Value Spiritual Things

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? (Genesis 25:32).
Obadiah 1:21 tells us something striking; it says,
“And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau….” Esau represents the godless, the profane or body-ruled; those who don’t have value for spiritual things. Such people, the Bible says, are in the flesh and therefore can’t please God (Romans 8:8).

Esau was the older brother of Jacob, and because of his profanity, he sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of food. The spiritual implication of his action didn’t quite dawn on him at the time. It wasn’t about the food he ate; it was about his disdain for spiritual things. The birthright was spiritual. It had a special blessing, yet Esau forfeited it to his younger brother, because of food. What he wanted was for physical gratification: what he could touch, taste, or feel at that moment. And he got it. He made a carnal choice over that which was spiritual.

Jacob, on the other hand, was smart. He wanted the blessing, and he got it. The blessing is an unseen elixir. The senses can’t perceive the blessing. What you can see about the blessing are the results of the blessing. It’s like the anointing of God’s Spirit; you can’t see or touch the anointing, but it’s real, and it’s supernatural.

There’re some today who have no value for spiritual things; they’re like Esau. They’ll rather sit at home to watch a sports event at the time they ought to be in church. They’d rather accommodate social engagements when they ought to be praying. These are carnal Christians. What life are you living? What are the things that are important to you? What do you set your affections on? Does the blood of Jesus that was shed for you on the cross mean something to you? Do you meditate often on His vicarious sacrifice on your behalf? Have you sat down to contemplate and comprehend the love of God demonstrated towards you? Does He have the rulership in your life every day?
Let Christ, and the reign of His glorious Kingdom be all that truly matters to you. Let your passion for spiritual things, and love for the Master, be evident in all you do.

PRAYER
Gracious and loving Father, thank you for your love for me, and your glory that’s evident in my life. Thank you for your Lordship and leadership over my life, and for your wisdom that guides me always in your perfect will.My life is for your glory, now and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Born To Reign

...Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world… (John 18:37).

The Bible tells us how God appeared to Abraham when he was ninety years old, and blessed him. He said to him, “And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee” (Genesis 17:6). Some Bible translations say, “...some kings will come out of thee,” but that’s wrong. God wasn’t thinking about the kings of Israel and Judah that would reign over His people; He was talking about a generation that’d be born as kings.

In the following verse, the Lord said, “And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” His everlasting covenant wasn’t with Abraham’s physical, earthly seeds like Isaac, Jacob etc., who only received the blessing in part.

Galatians 3:16 says, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”

The seed He was talking about is Christ, and we’re heirs of the promises that were made to Abraham because we’re in

Christ: “And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

So, when God said to Abraham“…kings shall come out of thee…,” He was actually talking of us, the new creation. Romans 5:17 says, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” The Greek rendering of the word, “reign” accurately means “to king.” Thus, the actual Greek construction should be, “…they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall king in life, by one, Jesus Christ.”

You were born to reign (to king) in life over demons, sickness and disease, poverty, failure, circumstances and death, because you’re Abraham’s seed, and a joint heir with

Christ. Therefore, have the mentality of absolute success and dominion. Christ reigns on earth today through you.

CONFESSION

I know who I am! I’m Abraham’s seed and I reign and rule in this life. I walk in the consciousness of abundance and dominion because I’m a joint-heir with

Christ; therefore, all things are mine!

MONDAY RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES:

MONDAY: You Must Keep Bearing Fruits

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down (Luke 13:6-9).

The scripture above is a parable told by the Lord Jesus Christ with which He emphasized the importance of fruitfulness in God’s Kingdom. The owner of the vineyard had come seeking fruit from a particular fig tree, but there was none. Then he said to the vinedresser, “Cut it down.” The vinedresser, however, pleaded for more time to cultivate the tree some more, perhaps eventually it’d produce fruits. Otherwise, it could be cut down. The tree was of no value in the vineyard if it wouldn’t produce any fruits. In the same way, the Christian is a tree of righteousness in the Lord’s vineyard and is expected to be productive (Isaiah 61:3). A Christian that’s not producing fruits of righteousness is like the fig tree which the owner of the vineyard said should be cut down, and to which he said, “…why cumbereth it the ground?” (Luke 13:7). In other words, why waste good ground for an unproductive tree?

Some Christians have been born again for a very long time, yet they’ve never led a soul to Christ; they’ve never brought someone else to church. That’s like the unproductive fig tree. If perhaps, you’ve been that way, you must make a change today! First, ask the Lord to forgive you. Then, ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you to witness to someone today about Jesus Christ. Start from today to tell others about

Jesus, who He is to you, and His saving grace. Paul said, “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead” (2 Corinthians 5:14). Be passionate about bearing fruits for the Lord, because He desires that of you.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to be inspired and instructed by your Word. I’m like a well-watered garden, fruitful at all times. I’m the fruit-bearing part of God’s vine and I’m producing durable fruits; fruits of righteousness, because I’m a tree of righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever (Genesis 13:14-15).

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SATURDAY, 22ND AUGUST

HE'S EXCITED ABOUT YOU.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).

Did you know that God is excited about you? You need to take some time today to meditate on that. Some people only think of God’s wrath. They believe He’s always mad at them. They’ve been raised to think that God is only concerned about sin, and because there’s so much sin in the world, He’s mad at everybody; no! He’s not that way. God isn’t concerned about sin as many think. He was concerned about sin, and His concern about it made Him send Jesus.

When Jesus died on the cross, the problem of sin was dealt with forever. Therefore, for the believer in Christ, sin is no longer a problem. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ brought an end to sin and ushered you into the life of righteousness: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). So you see, God is not mad at you; He settled the sin-problem in, and through, Jesus Christ and said, “…sin shall not have dominion over you…” (Romans 6:14).

What you need to do is to trust His righteousness; trust what Jesus came to do! You’re the fruit, the result of Christ’s redemptive work. Accept and receive His righteousness into your spirit, and live continually in His glory and grace, knowing that He’s not mad at you, but excited about you.

2 Corinthians 5:19 says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” This lets you know the mind of God. He’s not even mad at the sinner, let alone you that are born again! Therefore, get excited about God, because He’s excited about you.

CONFESSION
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; sin has no power over me. My heavenly Father rejoices over me with singing, and I bring Him joy and gladness today, pleasing Him in all things! I’m His crown and pearl of great value. I’m His outstretched arm of love, joy and righteousness to the world! Glory to God!
