James 5:16 (NLT)Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Damola was very sick. He prayed about it but the sickness didn’t go away. He would normally pray in the spirit for a while if he felt the symptoms of any sickness and it would leave. He had lived like this in God’s divine health without using any drugs for years.

But this time around, he prayed and prayed, and the symptoms of the sickness did not go away. He confessed the word of God and did every other thing he knew to do. He even saw a doctor and used drugs, but he was still sick and even getting weaker. He later decided to call his pastor to pray for him and lay hands on him. While he was talking with his pastor, he saw the need to confess a sin that had kept him in guilt for some time.

After confessing the sin to his pastor, for the first time in months, his conscience was now clear before God like it used to be. He started recovering the next day.

Christians who walk in grace through constant fellowship with the Lord God also walk in divine health. Unknown to Damola, the hidden guilt in his heart was the reason why the grace of God [for divine health] was no more flowing in his life.

The source of our grace is our fellowship with the Lord God. Nothing hinders this fellowship like a guilty conscience.

Go into today remembering that the source of your healing and good health is your constant fellowship with the Lord. This fellowship supplies the grace we need for life and godliness.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you walk in closer fellowship with Him from today.

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 (DARBY) I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge

Amaka suffered from demonic afflictions and fear even though she was a believer. Her Pastor had prayed for her and ministered deliverance to her several times, but the issues kept coming back. Her pastor knew that the only way she could be permanently free was if she received her freedom through the knowledge of the Truth (see John 8:32, John 14:16, John 8:36). Because of this, her pastor gave her books and sermons to listen to, but she wouldn’t read the books nor listen to the sermons.

She became totally free when she heeded her pastor’s advice and started reading faith-building books and paying attention to increasing her faith through the ministry of the word.

I have seen Christians who are very careful with their conduct suffer demonic affliction and defeat, and I have seen Christians who like the Corinthians, are not as careful with their conduct. Still, they enjoy spiritual liberty and are enriched through grace because they have been properly taught and grounded in the word of faith. God neither wants us to live carelessly nor does He want us to suffer unnecessary affliction. But many times, His people suffer because of a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). This knowledge is the knowledge of His word– Truth.

Go into today remembering that prayers are vital and indispensable to spiritual growth, but so is the knowledge of the truth (which is God’s word). Prayer is like a gun and the word is like the bullets. You need to get your gun properly loaded. Every believer needs to have the patience to settle down and learn the doctrine of Christ properly.

Heavenly Father, please give me the appetite to settle down and learn the things I need to know about this walk of faith. Please deliver me from distractions and help me focus on your will for me. Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:4-5 (DARBY) I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge

The church in Corinth was indeed enriched in all things. Concerning spiritual gifts, they were not lacking in any and were behind no one (1 Cor 1:7). They had abundant demonstrations of the power of God in their midst, and because of this, they enjoyed great growth and admiration from the people of the city. Concerning physical and material prosperity, they had become rich through the power of grace (see 1 Cor 4:8). These Paul acknowledged and was glad for, but was concerned for them not to be carried away by these and ignore the weightier matters of the kingdom.

The secret of the Corinthian church’s enrichment was their enrichment in doctrine and knowledge, and Apostle Paul pointed this out (see 1 Corinthians 1:4-5). They had skilled teachers like Apollos, and because of them, they were enriched in doctrine and knew how to appropriate the riches of Christ through faith. For faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom 10:17).

Whenever you see Christians who are walking in the grace and the manifestation of the riches and liberty of Christ, it is always because they have been properly taught in that regard. Christians who are not given to doctrine and learning are usually impoverished, oppressed, and wanting in many things. This is not the will of God.

Go into today remembering that Christians are disciples and disciples are students. We are students of the Word, and we never graduate from the school of the Spirit.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you give yourself to the ministry of the word and to prayer (see Acts 6:4).

1 Corinthians 1:3 (NET) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

A certain missionary took the gospel to a West African village. The first household he visited greeted him warmly and offered him some food and water because they perceived he was coming from a far journey. He told them the reason why he came to their village and shared the gospel with them. They knew there was something glorious about him, so their father wanted him to stay with them in their house. Everyone in that household eventually accepted the Lord Jesus and became born again. They later observed that since the time the missionary stayed in their house, everything started going well with them. Their farm became unusually fruitful, and their livestock became very productive. They also observed that their sickly children were now healthy and strong. All these good things happened to them because of the peace of Christ that rested upon their household through the missionary.

Jesus told his disciples that if they went preaching and found a home deserving, they should let their peace rest upon that home, but if the home is not deserving, they should let their peace return to them (see Matt 10:13).

In the world today, peace is understood to be the absence of war. But the peace that Jesus gives is far more than that (John 14:27). It is a spiritual force that causes everything to work properly. It is spiritual empowerment that ensures well-being, health, and prosperity. It has the ability to garrison the soul of a person against anxiety and fears (see Phil 4:7).

It is worthy of note that Grace was mentioned before peace in Paul’s salutation to the Corinthians. This is because peace is made available because of grace. It is unmerited and has been fully paid for by Christ Jesus.

Go into today asking the Lord to fill your life with His peace.

1 Corinthians 1:1-2 (NKJV)Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours

The book of 1 Corinthians is a letter written by Paul to the church in Corinth. It was most likely dictated by Paul but written down by Sosthenes. Sosthenes was once the ruler of the synagogue in Corinth (Acts 18:17) and was most likely an important facilitator in Paul’s apostolic ministry to the Corinthians.

Corinth was a major city in the southern part of Greece. Paul took the gospel to them as an apostle of the Lord Jesus. Many believed and became part of the church, but like many churches, they had their peculiar issues and temptations. Paul wrote this letter to them to encourage them and address some of these issues.

Notice that in 1 Cor 1:2, Paul refers to the Christians in Corinth as those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints. In the world today, people believe that saints are holy people who represented God well in their generation. Well, that is what we all have been called to become in the New Testament Church. It is important that we know this and believe that we are those called, sanctified, and empowered to be living witnesses of our Lord Jesus, set free from the corruption of this world, and whose lives radiate the supernatural [miracle working] power of God.

Go into today thanking God for calling you.

Prayer: ask that God will empower you to live the life that bears witness to His power and glory.

Psalms 27:13 (NET) Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living?

Edet went through a season in his life that looked like it wouldn’t end. It was as if the heavens were closed against him and everything was working against him. He prayed, fasted, prophesied, and did everything he knew to do. But that season came to pass in the fullness of time.Looking back at that time in his life, he realized that the reason his faith did not fail was because of a small but steady and consistent knowing in his heart that he would still see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. This knowing kept him from sinking and fainting. He indeed lived to see the goodness of the Lord.

God’s word to someone today is that you will soon see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Things will not always continue the way they have been but you will see good things from the Lord that will make you glad and rejoice. The Lord will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, and you will experience an overflow of His blessings in every area of your life.

Go into today knowing that God who saved David from the jaws of death and made him king over Israel is the same God you worship. He will bring you into the greater days of your life if you continue to rely on Him in confidence (see Psa 27:13-14).

Prayer: Thank God because He is the one who lifts you up in His time. Thank Him because you know that when He blesses, no one can curse.

1 Timothy 6:9-10 (NET) Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

When the Lord appeared to King Solomon and told him to ask for anything he desired, the Lord was pleased that his biggest desire was not riches, long life, or the death of his enemies, etc. His biggest wish was that he would be equipped to fulfill his divine assignment on the earth. He asked for the one thing he needed the most in order for him to fulfill God’s kingdom assignment for him as the leader of God’s people. Even though Solomon did not ask for riches, God decided to bless him and make him the wealthiest king of his generation (see 2 Chronicles 1:7-13).The way God created us as humans, we have binocular vision. We do not have the ability to focus our eyes on more than one thing at the same time. If we must see a thing properly, we would have to focus on it and it alone. Even spiritually, we have the same makeup. We cannot focus on more than one heart pursuit for our lives. As believers, our only focus should be the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:36). We do not have the ability to love God and love mammon at the same time (see Matthew 6:24).

If a believer’s goal in life is to be rich, that believer has already been deceived by the prince of this world. Our goal in life as believers should be to be found in the center of God’s will and pleasing Him in all things. As for the matter of our needs, God is able to supply them (see Phil 4:19). Even when money fails, God is still able to meet the needs of those who are in the center of His will.

For some, because of the nature of their assignment, God will cause a lot of many to pass through their hands, but their lives are not defined by that but by how yielded they are to God. Many have strayed from the faith because they were deceived into believing that making money is the ultimate thing in life(see Luke 12:15). A day is coming when we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10), and what will matter then would be our stewardship not our worldly wealth. Even those the Lord gave worldly wealth as stewardship would have to give an account of how they used it for the kingdom agenda.

Go into today remembering that you have been called to inherit God’s eternal kingdom(Luke 12:32), worldly wealth and power is the best the devil has to temp you out of that glorious destiny (see Matthew 4:8-10). Don’t let that happen.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me keep my mind stayed on thee and thee alone(see Isiah 26:3). In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Yearly Bible Plan: 

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

After Ben got baptized in the Holy Spirit and started enjoying the fellowship of the Spirit, it didn’t take long for him to discover that his life was scripted [in heaven] and there were good works written for him to accomplish. He was so glad to realize that his life was not an accident after all; that God knew everything about his life and had a plan for him even before he was born.

 

Ben was born out of wedlock. His mother didn’t want him and his father denied him. He was reluctantly raised by his mother’s aunt who had to take his mother and him in when her sister(Ben’s grandma) died in the midst of the trauma and stress of dealing with the fact that her only child got pregnant as a teenager and contracted AIDS. Ben grew up with a sense of rejection. He believed that his birth and life were a big mistake. His mother had died of aids when he was a baby but he was lucky not to have contracted the virus. He sometimes wished he had contracted the virus and died as a baby too. But that all changed when he started fellowshipping with God through the Holy Spirit and realizing that he was God’s masterpiece created for good works. Knowing the Lord Jesus and discovering that even though his physical birth may have been unplanned, his [Spiritual] birth into God’s kingdom was well planned and orchestrated, Ben found joy and peace in his relationship with the Lord.

 

One of the essential things that being baptized in the Holy Spirit should do to every believer is that it will reveal God’s visions concerning us. “….[Y]our young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams”(see Acts 2:17). The outpouring of the Holy Spirit brings us into alignment with God’s visions and plans for us. The Holy Spirit is the one who energizes us to actualize and fulfill the good works God has before ordained for us to walk in.

 

Go into today remembering that God has a plan for you and that plan is good. Never forget that life here on earth is about finding and fulfilling God’s grand plans for you.

2 Pet 1:4 (NLT) And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

Femi noticed that Dare was not growing spiritually, and he wondered why this was happening. They used to pray together and had many things in common. He later noticed that Dare was not very interested in the word of God, he was more interested in reading motivational books than reading and meditating on God’s word. He hardly read spiritual books, and he was never really dedicated to reading his Bible.

It is because of God’s great promises that we can become partakers of His divine nature. Christians who know these promises are more likely to walk in the divine nature than Christians who do not know these promises. We know God’s promises by hearing and meditating on His word. God’s word brings light into the dark places of our lives and empowers us to walk in His holiness (see Psa 119: 105, 9).

What makes your body grow is the food you eat. What makes your spirit grow is the word of God you receive and understand (see Matt 4:4).

Go into today remembering that spiritual growth never ends for the believer. You must continue to grow into the fullness of Christ and remain productive. One way this happens is as you feed your soul with the word of God and align with its righteousness each time you notice misalignment.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ.

Philippians 2:5-8 (NET) You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had, who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature. He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross!

While studying the subject of humility and seeing that it is the strongest attribute of the nature of Christ pointed out in scripture(see Matthew 11:29, Philippians 2:5-8), I was wondering and asked the Lord why so much emphasis on the subject of humility? I didn’t ask long before I remembered that pride was the one thing that turned the angel Lucifer into Satan. Pride entered his heart and iniquity was found in him (Ezekiel 28:14, 15, 17).

One of the biggest roots of iniquity is pride. The opposite of pride is humility. As powerful as God is, He is humble. We are to be like God not like the devil (see 1 Peter 1:16).

Pride is a root of iniquity. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5-6). Anyone who walks in pride will walk under the resistance of heaven. That’s a bad place to be.

Do you want to live under the dew of heaven? Do you want your prayers answered before you even utter them? Then be truly humble. I Believe one reason Moses had so much power with God was that he was the most humble man on earth during his day (see Numbers 12:3).

Go into today determining to be like Jesus in your heart. The strongest attribute of the nature of Christ is humility.

Prayer: Resist all forms of pride and ask the Lord for grace to be more humble and gentle (see Ephesians 4:2).
