“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14”

Devotion : There is a good reason for us who are born again to give thanks to God. The reason being that God gives us grace to triumph in all circumstances whether in sickness or other challenges of life, so that the world will know that we have a great God.

Everywhere we find ourselves, God uses us to witness to the world around us about Jesus Christ of Nazareth; His love, His saving grace, His mercy, His provision, His might, etc.

Dear brethren, are you winning your battles? As for me, I am winning and will continue to win whether the devil likes it or not because I and my family dwells in the secret place of the most high. Psalms 91:1 says “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”.
The psalmist went further in verse 13 to tell us that “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Are you a witness to the goodness of Christ in the world around you? By the special grace of God, I am a witness to the goodness of Jesus Christ, because he made me to overcome sicknesses trying to subdue me. Acts 2:32 says “This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses”. I pray for someone in the house, you will live to testify the goodness of Jesus Christ in your life.

Are you facing difficulties due to health challenges? Never mind, please consult Jeremiah 17:14 which says “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise”.

Can you now see that the word of God is there for us in all situations? It is only left for us to declare it in our situation and God will answer. Thank you Jesus. No wonder Job 22:28 says “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways”.

PrayerPoint
I stand on the word of God to decree and declare that you shall not be condemned in Jesus name

You will be a witness and testimony to your generations in Jesus name

The devil is a liar and an attacker, May God empower you to attack the attacker in Jesus
name

Every spirit of weakness trying to weigh you down, preventing you from having excellent relationship with God, be destroyed in Jesus Mighty Name.

So shall it be in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

“Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.” Revelation 1:11 (KJV)

Who you make your alpha and omega determines your destination on Earth and eternity. Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. They are the A and Z in English. It is vital who you choose to be the first and last in your life. For some, it is their parents so when their parents pass on, their life becomes purposeless. Others have made riches, fame, and political power their first and last; when they lose them, their lives are turned upside-down.

Dear beloved, Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, but if you don’t allow Him to play His role as the first and last in your life, you will also live a purposeless life. If you are born again, then He is in your life as the Holy Spirit.

Make time to fellowship with the Holy Spirit through the Word of God every day before you start the new day, and success, victory, peace, and joy will be your portion. He will always lead you to the finest of wheat and honey in the rock (Psalm 81:16).

It is quite unfortunate that some people who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, Alpha and Omega still conforms to this world (Roman’s 12:2) by walking according to the flesh instead of walking according to the spirit (Roman’s 8:1).

Prayer Point : Dear heavenly Father, thank you for making Jesus Christ the Alpha and Omega of my life. I submit my spirit, my soul, my body, my wife, my children and all my resources to Him. Amen!

For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:28 (KJV)

The opening Scripture admits that darkness can make entrance into the child of God’s life. Darkness represents weakness, failure, disease, lack of progress, and death. In other words, anything negative could be termed as darkness. No wonder Ephesians 5:11 states “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them”.

It is our duty as children of God to resist darkness from our lives. The Bible says in James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. Submitting oneself to God simply means doing the will of God in every aspect of our daily living.

However there is good news from the LORD; the Lord being light will enlighten the darkness in our life. He will do that by enabling our spirit by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Any time we are experiencing any form of darkness in our lives, let’s try to use the Holy Scriptures against it.

The Word of God is the light of God, hence where the Word of God is darkness departs. As a child of God, saturate your spirit with the Word of God and your spirit which is the candle of the Lord will light up and give you the victory that you deserve.

Prayer: Everlasting Father, I give you praise, honour and adoration. Enable me to shine as light so that every forces of darkness within and around me will depart in Jesus Mighty Name Amen

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15 (KJV)

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. This means that He is God and the heir of the Father (Romans 8:17). When God wanted to carry out His will of saving mankind from sin, He groomed Jesus Christ and expressed Himself in and through Him. No wonder Jesus Christ said, “My Father who dwells in Me does the works” (John 14:10).

Dear beloved, if you want to know the Father, you cannot do it any other way except by knowing Jesus Christ first. If He said we should be mindful of false prophets, it should arrest our attention so that we take His words seriously. It means there are false prophets or hypocrites who call themselves prophets but are not.

They are vessels of the devil and his demons. How do they come to us? They come in sheep’s clothing, which means they come behaving like children of God but they are the children of the devil; they will use the same resources, like the Holy Bible, and twist the Word of God to deceive people and rob them of their dignity, money, reputation, integrity, wealth, etc. (John 8:44).

They may even come to your church to worship with you but with the wrong motive to steal, kill, and destroy; no wonder inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Beloved, use the Word of God to judge them, and never be afraid of their threats and false prophecies, which create ungodly fear with the attempt to deceive you and rob you.

Always ask the Holy Spirit also to lead and prompt you to identify them by their conduct (fruits), and put them where they belong i.e under your feet. Be an overcomer.

Prayer Point: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for making me aware of the false prophets in our world today. Please endow me with the Spirit of discernment and scriptures to put them where they belong, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
