Matthew 11:29 (NET) Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Mat was very intelligent and gifted. He had several skills and abilities and was a very successful and important man.

Because he had been a Christian for many years, he realized that humility was one of the powerful virtues that allow for spiritual promotion in the kingdom, so he tried to be a humble person, but his reference point was himself not Christ. He had an appearance of humility and would bow to greet people who are older than him, but his heart was still full of pride. If someone disrespected him because of his appearance of humility, he wouldn’t let it go but would find a clever way to retaliate.

This continued until the Lord revealed to him that he was not truly humble but merely had an appearance of humility.

Jesus our LORD says in today’s verse that we should learn from Him, that He is humble and gentle in heart. Humility begins from the heart and would ultimately manifest in our actions. Every human being born into this world was born with a proud and selfish heart. It takes the educational system of the Holy Spirit to make a person truly humble in heart. Circumstances can impose humility upon people, but those same people would become as proud as they really are at heart if or when the circumstances turn around.

Many sins are a product of pride in the heart. For example, the reason people lie so that they would not be embarrassed is because of pride in the heart.

The only way we can become truly humble at heart is to learn from the Lord. If God our master was humble to the point of death on the cross for us, and yet has ultimately not lost anything but rather gained many sons to glory, we ought to follow His example.

Go into today knowing that it is the meek person that God can teach His ways. God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.

Prayer: Lord, help me look unto you and overcome every pride and insecurity. Give me a truly meek and gentle heart, in Jesus name. Amen.

Ephesians 2:8, 9. (NKJ) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Grace and faith fit together. God’s grace is received by our faith. Grace is God reaching out to us, and faith is our means of reaching out to Him. “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that [faith] not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” What is not of ourselves? The answer usually is that grace is not of ourselves, but that should be obvious.

What this verse is really telling us is faith is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 3:12 also tells us this: “We have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” In Acts, we read about the crippled man’s healing at the Gate Beautiful. Peter explained:

And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by [from] him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all (Acts 3:16).

In Ephesians 2:9, Paul tells us when it came to receiving the free gift of God—salvation—we did not even have the ability to become born again. God had to give us the ability to be able to receive His gift.

Imagine the president of General Motors is your special friend. A new model car is to be placed on the market, and he has brought it by your house to show it to you before it ever hits the showroom floor. He is so excited that he wants to show it to you, his special friend, first. After he shows it to you and you realize how badly you want it, he tells you the price is $100,000. Then he asks why are you laughing! You are bankrupt and have no means of buying the car. Your friend tells you he has already placed in your bank account enough money to buy the car. In other words, he designed the car and then gave you the ability to purchase it.

Faith is not just our means of receiving salvation, but it is also our means of receiving anything else God has for us. Healing, finances, and freedom from worry and oppression are all available through the faith God gives us. That way, all the glory goes to God the Father, not to us. If the faith came from us, we could boast before God. But since everything comes from God, even the means of attaining everything, then all the glory and praise goes to Him: “Not of works [human effort], lest any man should boast [glory in himself].” In addition, we are not to worship the gift, but we are to reverence the Giver of the gift. Faith is a wonderful tool given to us to acquire all of God’s blessings, but we should not worship faith. Many people today who are studying faith almost esteem faith as their god. All praise and glory should go to God and Jesus Christ. The Father is seeking those who will worship Him “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23).

As you go into today, know that you have been saved by faith in God and not because of your works and as a result, you have eternal life.

Revelation 3:4 [NET] But you have a few individuals in Sardis who have not stained their clothes, and they will walk with me dressed in white, because they are worthy.

When Joyce first believed, she was not a very honest person, and her words meant nothing to her. She didn’t know this was wrong, but as she grew in her walk with God, she noticed that the Lord kept revealing things in her life that were not in alignment with His righteousness. Each time this happened, she would repent, and grow in her knowledge of God and His grace (power).

We can learn from today’s Bible text that it is only those whose garments are unstained that can walk [in fellowship] with the Lord.

When a Christian walks in sin, His [spiritual] clothes are stained [by it], and he is unable to fellowship with God appropriately and walk in his spiritual authority accordingly. This cannot happen to Christians who are already walking in the light by walking in constant fellowship with God who is the light (See 1 John 1:5). Because they are walking in the light, and sin is darkness, they do not walk in sin. This does not mean they cannot be tempted and sometimes fall, but it means they cannot take their place in sin.

There are weaknesses that hinder believers from closer fellowship with God, yet these sins may be unknown to them. But as they walk in the light, the light continually reveals every darkness in them and the blood of Jesus cleanses them from it as they acknowledge (confess) it and repent (see 1 John 1:7,9). When this happens, they further advance in their knowledge (closer fellowship) of God and grow in grace and spiritual might. This is something that happens over time.

Go into today asking the Lord to help you grow in the knowledge of Him.

Psalms 103:8-9 (NET) The Lord is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love. He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.

Chide and Faith’s marriage was heading for the rocks because they both did not know how to overlook offenses and forgive each other. Chide was not compassionate and merciful in dealing with his wife but was full of accusations and anger towards her. Faith believed her husband did not love her anymore so she stopped making an effort in the relationship.

Their marriage was saved when they started to individually truly live according to the divine nature that they have received in Christ. They truly decided to forgive each other and be patient in dealing with one another. Chide was taught by his pastor to never again nurse accusations against his wife in his heart, but rather focus on the good in her. They were both taught to never go to bed angry over any situation (Ephesians 2:26).

We cannot desire to be like the Lord without learning this important attribute of His character: the Lord is merciful and gracious. He is patient and demonstrates great love. Being merciful is essential to having the spirit and character of Christ. We must also learn to not just love in our hearts but be demonstrators of our love for one another. The most potent way we demonstrate love is by giving. Let our love not just be in words but with action(see 1 John 3:18). Let people feel comfortable around you and know that you care.

Call people, ask about their wellbeing, give gifts(even if small), make sacrifices that show that you care. This is the way of Christ.

Go into today remembering to be more merciful, patient, and loving. Proverbs 3:3-4 reveals that being merciful is a key to walking in favor in the sight of God and people.

Prayer: Lord, help me demonstrate your love to everyone I have to deal with. Help me to be truly merciful and gracious. Amen.

Psalm 5:4(KJV) For thou are not a God that pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee

Ojo told Mabel that he believed that the life of immorality he was living was a tool God was using to draw him closer to Himself. He said that people should be patient with him. He even told Mabel that he had this witness in his spirit that God was bringing him to the end of himself while he was living in sexual immorality. Mabel in her response told him that God does not use evil and darkness to tempt or purge his Children. It was clear to Mabel that the Devil had deceived Ojo. She cited Psalm 5:4 and James 1:13

The Bible says in 1John 1:5 that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. The nature of God is goodness. In Him is light and there is no darkness in Him at all. God by his nature hates iniquity and those that perpetrate evil(see Psalm 5:5). Anybody that wants to know God must understand this nature of God and abide with it. You cannot say that you have fellowship with God and you are walking in darkness. Where we read also teaches that if you are a person that delights in evil or rejoices over the downfall of your brother, God’s fellowship is not with you. This is because it is impossible for God to have pleasure in wickedness.

Go into today with a strong commitment to understand the Character of God and to walk in His will.

Prayer: Lord, teach e your ways that I may walk in Your truth. Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:3 (KJV) Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

There was a video that went viral on Facebook. In that video, a very fat cat was trying to catch an angry rat, and instead of the cat pursuing the rat, it was the rat that now turned and was pursuing the cat. The rat pursued the cat to the extent that the cat would cry out each time the rat made contact with it. It was unbelievable.

Many Christians have been defeated in life, not because they do not have what it takes to be overcomers, but because they have failed to realize that they have what it takes. They have forgotten how powerful they really are in Christ, and cower in the face of the smallest situation that confronts them, instead of standing firm on the word of God that cannot fail.

If you are in Christ, you are naturally an overcomer. No demon should be able to stand you because you are seated in heaven far above them and have all authority over them because you are in Christ (see Eph 2:6). But devils are very daring; they will try their luck every now and then and hope you forget who you are and start reacting in fear.

There is nothing that kills boldness like sin consciousness. There is nothing that boosts boldness like righteousness consciousness (see Prov 28:1). I believe one reason the Holy Spirit brings boldness is because He gives us assurance of our righteousness with God.

Go into today determined to walk in the Spirit. This also means you will dominate your heart with the consciousness of the righteousness you have with God through the sacrifice of Christ.

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you always walk in your Spiritual authority and power.

Revelation 2:26-29 (KJV) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

When Christ [physically] returns, He will come with great power and glory, and He will come with us His saints (the overcomers). He will come to take over the governments of this earth. And because the rulers will not be willing to peacefully hand over power to Him, He will take it by force.

We all who are his saints will come with Christ in our glorified bodies; bodies just like that of Christ, and we shall rule and reign over the earth for 1000 years.

The city in which you currently live will most likely still be called by its current name when these things happen. The people of the world will not be able to defeat us because we will have superior (glorified) bodies that cannot be hurt. We will have superior intelligence and superior power. The rulers of the earth will have to fall in line or be smashed (see Psa 2).

When the kingdom physically comes to the earth, the wealthiest person on earth will be less than the least in our Kingdom. Our government will be so wealthy that we would be able to afford to pave our streets with gold. And all humankind (and angels) will be under our dominion (see 1 Cor 6:2-3).

Go into today remembering that the Kingdom is coming. We have proof to show that these promises of the Lord are true: the Holy Spirit within us gives us a foretaste of the powers to come and assures us of these things.

Confession: I am a citizen of God’s Kingdom. I will rule and reign with Christ. The Holy Spirit controls my life today.

Ephesians2:5,6. (KJV) Even when we were dead in sins [God] hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

God loved us when there was nothing in us to love. His love not only found us; He cared enough for us not to leave us in the condition (dead sin) in which He found us. He gave us life and then raised us up out of the mess and gave us a seat with Himself in heaven. “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory” (1 Samuel 2:8).

I want you to notice all of the “together” in the text: “quickened us together,” “raised us up together,” “made us sit together.” God accomplished the work of redemption through His Son. In Jesus, God became a man and took our place. “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), but God could not die to take our place. How would you kill God, if He could die? How would you drive a spear through God? How could you put nails through Him or hang Him on a cross? The only way God could take our place, our sin, and our sicknesses, etc, was to become a man. This also was part of the divine plan because God knew the work of the cross would have to be substitutional. God could not substitute for man. Man would have to substitute for man. Jesus became sin for us in God’s place. Jesus died and rose again for us in God’s place. Since Jesus had no sin of His own, God could raise Him from the dead. We became identified with the work of Jesus on the cross and in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.

I want you to get the picture. When God found us, we were dead. He wanted us to be alive and to sit with Him in His home, heaven. Getting us from the point of death to a seat in heaven with Him took the work of our mediator, Jesus. Since God could raise Jesus from the dead, He could then bring us into heaven to be seated with Him. Jesus could take hold of us. When Jesus was raised from the dead, we were raised up also. When Jesus ascended to heaven, we ascended also. When Jesus was seated in heaven, we were seated there too. Jesus and all believers were made alive together, raised together, and made to sit in heavenly places together. “For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28)

Go into today knowing that as a member of His church, you are now seated with Christ in the heavenly places because of the substitutionary work of Jesus on the cross.

Prayer: Lord, help me to live in the consciousness of who and where I am in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:9 (NET) You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.

Tony accepted the Lord Jesus in a neighborhood house fellowship. Because the leader of the fellowship sensed that Tony needed to be ministered to for deliverance, he told Tony to wait behind and be ministered to. That day, Tony was delivered of demonic possession and was also baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. His heart was so filled with joy that it was evident to his friends and neighbors that “something has changed about Tony”.

Tony had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit but he needed to learn of Christ and become like Christ. This is what is called discipleship. The indwelling Holy Spirit within him changed his appetites and gave him a desire for the word and presence of God.

Even though Tony received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, if he does not continue to abide in Christ and bring forth fruit, he would be as a branch cast out and trampled underfoot of men(John 15:6, Matthew 5:13).

After believing in the Lord Jesus and receiving the Holy Spirit, it is important we grow and walk in the spirit(Character) of Christ because it is only those who have the spirit of Christ that belong to Him.

Go into today remembering that it is not just those that say “Lord, Lord”, but those that do the will of God are those who will enter the kingdom of heaven(see Matthew 7:21). If Jesus is truly your Lord, then you will do His will.

Prayer: Father, help me abide in Christ and be fruitful. Help me live a life that is ruled by Your will, In Jesus name. Amen.
