THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHY ARE YOU A GENUINE CHILD OF GOD IN CHRIST AFRAID OF DEATH?

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Why are you a genuine CHILD of GOD in Christ in this World afraid of DEATH?

Many genuine Christians are not aware that they are SPIRIT beings with a SOUL living in a BODY in this World. True!

Many genuine Christians do not know that their human SPIRIT came from God, their heavenly Father in Christ and on one APPOINTED moment, they will be requested to RETURN back home to Him again. True! (Hebrews 9:27).

Therefore,

Many genuine Christians are consciously and unconsciously AFRAID of DEATH, DYING untimely or going BACK home to their heavenly Father through DEATH. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

You SEND forth your spirit, they are CREATED: and you RENEW the face of the earth. (Psalm 104:30).

So, our human spirit is surely going to RETURN home on an APPOINTED moment someday. True!

Therefore, the Bible says to us thus:

And as it is APPOINTED unto men once to DIE, but after this the JUDGMENT. (Hebrews 9:27; Ecclesiastes 12:1-7; Romans 14:1-12)

JESUS CHRIST, our ultimate role model when on Earth physically:

1. He was never AFRAID of DEATH.

2. He was never AFRAID of DYING untimely.

3. He was never AFRAID of going BACK home to His heavenly Father through DEATH. True!

You too should NOT for any reason or in any season of your life be AFRAID, for the Bible says as HE is, so are WE in this World. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; 1 John 4:17).

The Bible reveals to us thus:

From that time forth began Jesus to SHOW unto His disciples, HOW that He must go unto Jerusalem, and SUFFER many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be KILLED, and be RAISED again the third day. Then Peter took Him, and began to REBUKE Him, saying, be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you. But He turned, and SAID unto Peter, get thee behind me, Satan: you art an OFFENCE unto me: for you savours not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. (Matthew 16:21-23).

Do you think it is because Jesus Christ is God ?

Apostle Paul:

1. He was never AFRAID of DEATH. True!

2. He was never AFRAID of DYING untimely. True!

3. He was never AFRAID of going BACK home to his heavenly Father through DEATH. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

For I (Apostle Paul) KNOW that this shall TURN to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all BOLDNESS, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by LIFE, or by DEATH. For to me, to LIVE is Christ, and to DIE is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait between two, having a DESIRE to DEPART, and TO be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to ABIDE in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. (Philippians 1:9-25).

Instead of being AFRAID of DEATH, dying untimely or going BACK to his heavenly Father,  Apostle Paul focused on FULFILLING his HIGH CALLING  (life purpose, assignment, ministry, etc) of GOD in Christ Jesus in this World than thinking of DYING before his time.

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Brethren, I (Apostle Paul) count NOT myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are behind, and REACHING forth unto those things which are before, I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the HIGH CALLING of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14).

Did he FINISH it and reach his mark? Yes!

Did he DIE before his time? No

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But WATCH you in all things, ENDURE afflictions, DO the work of an evangelist, MAKE full proof of thy ministry. For I (Apostle Paul) am now READY to be offered, and the TIME of my departure is at hand. I have FOUGHT a good fight, I have FINISHED my course, I have KEPT the faith: Henceforth there is LAID up for me a CROWN of Righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall GIVE me at that day: and NOT to me only, but unto ALL them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:5-8).

Then, why are you a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World still AFRAID of DEATH, DYING untimely or of going BACK home to your heavenly Father through DEATH?

It is nothing other than because:

1. You have not discovered your HIGH CALLING (life purpose, assignment, ministry, etc) of GOD in Christ Jesus for you in this World. True!

If you have discovered yours and you are still AFRAID of death or dying before your time, then

2. You are not FOCUSED on FULFILLING your HIGH CALLING (life purpose, assignment, ministry, etc) of GOD in Christ Jesus for you in this World. True!

If you focus on fulfilling it and you are still AFRAID of death or dying before your time, then

3. You do not BELIEVE that Jesus Christ through His DEATH on the Cross of Calvary had destroyed the Devil's POWER of DEATH over you before your appointed time of exiting the Earth. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that THROUGH death He might DESTROY him that had the POWER of DEATH, that is, the devil; And DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage. (Hebrews 2:14,15).

If you believe that Jesus Christ through His death has destroyed the Devil's power of death over you before your time of exit and you are still AFRAID of death or dying before your time, then

4. You do not BELIEVE that Jesus Christ through His RESURRECTION from the grave back to His Father in Heaven has given you the VICTORY over DEATH or DYING before your appointed time of exiting the Earth. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

O DEATH, where is your sting? O GRAVE, where is your victory? The STING of death is SIN; and the STRENGTH of sin is the LAW. But thanks be to God, which GIVES us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57; 1 John 5:4-5; 16-21).

If you believe that Jesus Christ through His resurrection has given victory over death and you are still AFRAID of death or dying before your time, then

5. You do not BELIEVE that Jesus Christ as the RESURRECTION and LIFE has given you ABUNDANT LIFE that sudden death cannot cut you short before your appointed time on Earth. True!

The Bible reveals to you thus:

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him: but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou will ask of God, God will give it you. Jesus said unto her, your brother shall RISE again.  Martha sad unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I AM the RESURRECTION, and the LIFE: he that BELIEVES in me, though he were DEAD, yet shall he LIVE: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this? (John 11:20-26).

Furthermore, the Bible reveals that one of Jesus' mission on Earth is thus:

The THIEF (Devil) comes not, but for to steal, and to KILL, and to destroy: I am COME that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it more ABUNDANTLY. (John 10:10).

Jesus Christ have assured us of divine SAFETY and PROTECTION on Earth, so you and I do not need to FEAR of death before our time, but to FOCUS on pleasing our heavenly Father by FOCUSING on FULFILLING our HIGH CALLING (life purpose, assignment, ministry, etc) in Christ Jesus on Earth. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

And I say unto you my friends, Be NOT afraid of them that KILL the BODY, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Him, which after He has KILLED had POWER to cast into HELL; yes, I say unto you, Fear Him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and NOT one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very HAIRS of your head are ALL numbered. FEAR not therefore: you are of MORE value than many sparrows. Also I say unto you, whosoever shall CONFESS me before men, Him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:  But he that DENIES me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. (Luke 12:4-9).

Jesus Christ has given us POWER over the demons that causes SINS and untimely DEATH in humans. True!

 The Bible reveals to us thus:

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your NAME. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I GIVE unto you POWER to tread on SERPENTS (demons of SINS) and SCORPIONS (demons of DEATH), and over ALL the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather REJOICE, because YOUR names are written IN Heaven. (Luke 10:17-20; Luke 11:9-14; 1 John 3:8-10; Romans 8; Philippians 2:8-11; 1 John 5:16-21).

Now, know and note thus:

There is therefore now NO condemnation to them which are IN Christ Jesus, who walk NOT after the FLESH, but after the SPIRIT. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from the LAW of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, CONDEMNED sin in the flesh: That the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the law might be FULFILLED in us, who walk NOT after the flesh, BUT after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:16-26; John 8:36).

Jesus Christ promised us a PREPARED PLACE for us in His Father's house. That is, if we eventually DIE or are RAPTURED and exit the Earth at our appointed moment. True!

So why you still AFRAID of DEATH, dying untimely or going BACK to your heavenly Father?

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Let NOT your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. In my FATHER'S HOUSE are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I GO to prepare a place for you. And if I go and PREPARE a place for you, I will COME again, and RECEIVE you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And whither I go you know, and the way you know. Thomas said unto him, Lord, we know not whither you goes; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:1-6).

In the first place, why are you who is a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World AFRAID of going BACK home to your heavenly FATHER through DEATH?

Why?

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the DEATH of His saints. (Psalm 116:15).

Making Heaven back REJOICE our heavenly Father, who is glad to see and have us back home in Christ from Earth. So, STOP being afraid of DEATH, because nothing and nobody cannot KILL you before your APPOINTED time of exit from the Earth. I repeat, NOTHING and NOBODY can!

Always remember, you are more than CONQUEROR through Christ's love for you, even over untimely DEATH. True! (Romans 8:37).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

O DEATH, where is your sting? O GRAVE, where is your victory? The STING of death is SIN; and the STRENGTH of sin is the LAW. But thanks be to God, which GIVES us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHO YOU ARE TRULY A NEIGHBOUR TO!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Who you are truly a NEIGHBOUR to or who are truly NEIGHBOURS to you in this World!

We who are genuine followers of JESUS CHRIST in this World must personally study His WORD and His RESPONSES to questions asked Him when He was physically living on Earth that are in red ink in most Bibles, to get the UNDERSTANDING of God the Father's Mind on very important issues concerning us in Him and humanity in general. True!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell IN you richly in ALL wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And WHATSOEVER you DO in word or deed, DO all IN the NAME of the Lord JESUS, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:16,17).

JESUS CHRIST is the one and only personality LIFTED UP by God to humanity that we all must ultimately LOOK unto and FOLLOW in our walk (relationship) and work (responsibility) with God in Him in the World. True, because the Bible says as HE is, so are WE in this World. (Hebrews 1:1-4; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 John 4:17).

One area we need to give heed to the response to Jesus Christ is in a question asled Him by a Lawyer thus:

Who is my NEIGHBOUR?

Below is Jesus Christ response:

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, what is written in the law? How read you? And he answering said, you shall LOVE the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your NEIGHBOUR as yourself. And He said unto him, you have answered right: this do, and you shall live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, and WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by CHANCE there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay thee. WHICH now of these three, thinks you, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that show MERCY on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, and DO you likewise. (Luke 10:25-37; Mark 12:28-31).

Jesus Christ was by His above response informing us that our true NEIGHBOURS or those we are truly NEIGHBOUR to on Earth are:

1. Those who will consciously COME to us or we will GO to par time as we move on the Earth each day and not necessarily only those we live with in the same compound or neighbourhood. True!

2. Those who will genuinely SHOW us MERCY or we will SHOW MERCY to par time as we move on the Earth each day and not necessarily only those we live with in the same compound or neighbourhood. True!

3. Those who will genuinely HELP us or we will HELP par time as we move on the Earth each day and not necessarily only those we live with in the same compound or neighbourhood. True!

That is why the Bible counsels us that wherever we are and whenever we have the OPPORTUNITY, we are to do GOOD to ALL we meet on Earth par time par our lifetime, irrespectively of their nationality, tribe, colour, religion, language. True!

However, know and note, we in Christ are to do GOOD first to those in the household faith with us. That is, wherever and whenever we will find our ourselves between helping a believer and an unbeliever. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Be not deceived; God is NOT mocked: for whatsoever a man SOWS, that shall he also REAP. For he that SOWS to his flesh shall of the flesh REAP corruption; but he that SOWS to the Spirit shall of the Spirit REAP life everlasting. And let us NOT be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us do GOOD unto ALL men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:7-10; Matthew 7:7-12).

We must FIRST sacrificially LOVE and selflessly CARE for the brotherhood as counselled by the Bible reference above and thus:

Honour all men. LOVE the BROTHERHOOD. Fear God. Honour the king. (1 Peter 2:17; 1John 4:11-14; 1 John 3:16).

Always remember that whatsoever you DO to anyone, a believer or unbeliever, will be REWARDED by GOD, who will motivate others to Do the same to you, even much more in your own time of need. True!

Jesus Christ said thus:

Therefore ALL things whatsoever you would that men should DO to you, DO you even so to THEM: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Luke 2:52; Luke 6:38).

As I said earlier, even much more God the Creator and Owner of the Heaven and Earth will motivate men to GIVE you back your GOOD in this World. Yes, much more!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38).

What a GOOD God and FAITHFUL Father, who loves and cares for us each day!

What a GREAT God and FAITHFUL Father, who loves and cares for us each day!

The Bible says to us thus:

FAITHFUL is He that calls you, who also will DO it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 Peter 5:7).

Now, know and note that discrimination, greediness, selfishness and self-centeredness do not bring back PROFIT or deserve PAY back from God the Creator and Owner of the Heaven and Earth. True!

Therefore,

STOP being discriminative. It is not to your advantage in the sight and side of God. True!

STOP being greedy. It is not to your advantage in the sight and side of God. True!

STOP being selfish and self-centered. It is not to your advantage in the sight and side of God. True!

Think about it and do something about your GREED and SELF-CENTEREDNESS now, because he or she that have MERCY and GIVES to his or her poor and needy NEIGHBOURS, he or she meet each day on Earth,  lends to God the Creator and Owner of the Earth in the real and spiritual sense of it says the Bible and He will surely and much more PAY back, sooner or later in the giver's time of need. True! (Proverbs 19:17; Psalm 24; Matthew 6:19-21; Matthew 25:30-46).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. For ALL the law is fulfilled in ONE word, even in this; YOU shall LOVE your NEIGHBOUR as yourself. (Galatians 5:13,14; Mark 12:28-31; 2 Kings 4:1-7).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: UNDERSTANDING AND LIVING CONSCIOUSLY AS BEEN BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST WITH POWER TO OVERCOME AND SUCCEED IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Understanding and living CONSCIOUSLY knowing that you are now BORN of GOD with the POWER to OVERCOME and SUCCEED in Christ in this World!

Many genuine Christians are not aware or do not have an understanding of what it means for them to be BORN of GOD in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER to become the SONS of GOD, even to them that BELIEVE on His name: which were BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD. (John 1:12,13).

The Bible in the above scriptural reference reveals to us that we humans in this World can be:

1. Born of BLOOD

2. Born of the will of the FLESH.

3. Born of the will of MAN.

4. Born of GOD.

In this write up I will be focusing on us Christians being BORN of GOD after we might have been born of human blood and human will of the flesh (by lust out marriage) or human will of man (by desire in marriage) naturally.

Now, know and note that EVERY genuine Christians are supernaturally BORN of GOD in Christ in this World. True!

What does this means?

According to the above scriptural reference, this means that EACH genuine Christian's salvation (BORN AGAIN) experience that makes him or her a Child of God is:

1. Not by human BLOOD.

That is, like in the case of Jesus Christ who was not born by the meeting of a man and a woman. Hmm!

That is why the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).

2. Not by the will of the FLESH.

That is, not by the lust of a man and a woman outside marriage or by the fallen state of their human body.

3. Not by the will of MAN.

That is, not by the desire of a married man and woman to have a child. True!

But, supernaturally BORN:

1. By the BLOOD of Jesus Christ.

2. By the Will of the SPIRIT.

That is, by the love of God.

3. By the Will of GOD.

That is, by the purpose of God.

Now, know and note that only those BORN of GOD in this World:

1. Have the POWER to believe that Jesus is the CHRIST (Saviour). (1 John 5:1).

That is, those who can humbly and convincingly recognize JESUS as the Saviour, which God the Father has sent to save or reconcile humanity back to Himself in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

2. Have the POWER to love God and others in this World. True! (1 John 4).

That is, those who can forgive and give to others unconditionally in this World. True!

3. Have the POWER not to yield to self and sin in this World. True! (1 John 3:1-10; James 1:12-15; 1 John 5:18-21).

That is, those who can resist and overcome lust and sin (ways and manners of the World) in this World. True! (Romans 8:1-13; James 1:12-15).

4. Have POWER to become the Sons of God in Christ this World. True! (John 1:12,13).

That is, those who can be taught, guided, disciplined, helped, equipped, empowered and led by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them to enjoy divine GRACE (support and supply of the Holy Spirit) to them in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13,19).

5. Have the POWER to overcome the World. True! (1 John 5:4,5).

That is, those who can resist and overcome Satan, demons, sinners, sickness, poverty, failure, tradition of men, principles, structures, systems and strategies of the World, etc in this World to become who God wants them to be or achieve in in Christ in this World. Halleluyah! (1 Peter 5:8-10; James 4:6-10).

Therefore, know that there is a divine PRESENCE and POWER by the Holy Spirit of Christ (the Kingdom of God) that within you to equip, empower and enable you OVERCOME all oppositions and obstacles that will come against you on your way, and SUCCEED as you journey as a genuine Child of God in Christ from Earth to Heaven in this World . True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works IN us. (Ephesians 3:20; 1 John 2:27).

Good to know and note is that you are personally responsible to RELEASE your divinely given inner POWER as a genuine Child of God, who is BORN of GOD in Christ in this World:

1. By Thinking or meditating the revealed Word of God in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (1 John 2:27).

2. By confessing or praying the inspired Word of God in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (2 Corinthians 4:13).

3. By living out the instructed Word of God (vis-à-vis the instructed Ways and Will of God) in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (Romans 1:14; Galatians 5:18).

The Bible reveals to us thus:

This book of the law shall not depart out of your MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou may observe to DO according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make your WAY prosperous, and then you shall have GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8; James 1:22-25).

Therefore, the Bible reveals to us thus:

But as it is written, EYE has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. But God has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the SPIRIT of GOD. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might KNOW the things that are freely GIVEN to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual.  But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual JUDGES all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the MIND of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

By the KINGDOM of GOD (the presence and POWER of the Holy Spirit) that is within you by you been BORN of GOD or you being a Child of God in Christ in this World, you can OVERCOME anybody, anything and anyway of your enemies anywhere as well as:

1. You can now also KNOW the deep things of God in Christ concerning you and other external situations with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

2. You can now also KNOW the things that are freely given to you by God in Christ with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

3. You can now also DISCERN and COMPARE spiritual things to spiritual things with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

4. You can now also JUDGE all things with the MIND of Christ of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you  in this World.True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

5. You can now also can be GUIDED and TAUGHT by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27).

6. You can now also OVERCOME SIN with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (Romans 8:9-13; 1 John 5:18-21).

7. You can now also be HELPED to PRAY with the Holy Spirit Christ of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (Romans 8:26,27).

8. You can now also be LED by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (John 16:13-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5;18).

9. And so on.

Wow! Great POWER and PRIVILEGE you have in Christ in this World. True!

Now, it is time for you to start developing and using it, because He is in you. True!

The Bible reveals to us that CHRIST in US is our HOPE of GLORY (to overcome and succeed) now on Earth and to make Heaven gloriously someday. Halleluyah! (Colossians 1:27; Philippians 4:13,19; 2 Corinthians 3:17).

Always keep in mind that YOU are an OVERCOMER you are more than CONQUEROR in Christ in this World, no matter what. Yes, you are! (Romans 8; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:1).

The Bible reveals to us that God has designed us in such a way that as we THINK in this World, so we are or become in this World. True! (Proverbs 23:7; Philippians 4:8,9).

You can never SINK to failure and fall on Earth, when you build every area of your life on Christ (the Word - Solid Rock of God) in this World. True! (Matthew 7:24-27; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

For whatsoever is BORN of GOD overcomes the World: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the World, even our FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the World, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5; Hebrews 11).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: YOU CREATED AND DESIGNED FOR A LIFE OF DOMINION IN CHRIST ON EARTH

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Don't GIVE UP, you are designed and created by God to think, speak and live a  LIFE of DOMINION in Christ on Earth!

Many genuine Christians still do not consciously and consistently:

1. THINK in terms of DOMINION that they are designed and created in Christ to BE and manifest as a mindset on Earth. So sad!

2. SPEAK in terms of DOMINION that they are designed and created in Christ to BE and manifest as a language on Earth. So sad!

3. LIVE in terms of DOMINION that they are designed and created in Christ to BE and manifest as lifestyle on Earth. So sad!

Many genuine Christians do not consciously understand when the Bible reveals to us that the World we live in lies in WICKEDNESS. That Satan as a roaring lion (in form of Himself, demonic spirits and demonized humans) walks about, seeking whom he may DEVOUR (kill, steal and destroy) in this World, especially we in Christ. (1 John. 5:18-21; 1 Peter 5:7-10; John 10:10).

As a genuine follower of Jesus Christ in this World, you must have this DOMINION fighting and overcoming spirit, that you will not allow:

1. Satan, Dominic spirits and Demonized humans (witches and wizards) to KILL anything in you or that belongs to you. Yes, you need to have such DOMINION fighting and overcoming spirit and mindset in Christ in this World.

2. Satan, Dominic spirits and Demonized humans (witches and wizards) to STEAL anything in you or that belongs to you. Yes, you have to have such DOMINION fighting and overcoming spirit and mindset in Christ in this World.

3. Satan, Dominic spirits and Demonized humans (witches and wizards) to DESTROY anything in you or that belongs to you. Yes, you have to have such DOMINION fighting and overcoming spirit and mindset in Christ in this World.

This is because people of the kingdom of Satan (witches and wizards) are out each day by the leadership of Satan and drive of Dominic spirits that is within and upon them, to rule, reign and exercise DOMINION in the Spiritual and physical worlds over the people of the Kingdom of God in Christ in this World, which you are one of them. True!

Therefore, the Bible reveals thus:

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the KINGDOM of HEAVEN (the presence and power of the Holy Spirit - anointing) suffers violence (witchcraft attacks), and the violent (the anointed in Christ by the Holy Spirit) take it by force. (Matthew 11:12; Acts 10:38; 1 John 2:27).

Always, keep in mind that the anointed YOU in the Kingdom of God (Light) is in BATTLE with the spirits and people of the kingdom of Satan (Darkness) in this World. However, very important to know and keep in mind is that you are already designed and created by God to think, speak and live to exercise DOMINION in Christ over them all. Jesus Christ had by His suffering, death, burial and resurrection made us PRIESTS and KINGS of our God to REIGN on Earth. Halleluyah! (Revelation 5:8-10; 1 John 5:4,5).

The Bible reveals to us thus:

We KNOW that whosoever is BORN of GOD sins not; but he that is begotten of God KEEPS himself, and that wicked one TOUCHES him not. And we know that WE are of God, and the whole WORLD lies in WICKEDNESS. And we know that the Son of God is come, and has GIVEN us an understanding, that we may KNOW Him that is TRUE, and WE are IN Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, KEEP yourselves from IDOLS (demons). Amen. (1 John 5:18-21; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

That is why Apostle Paul reminded thus:

Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the LORD, and in the POWER of His MIGHT. Put on the WHOLE armour of God, that you may be able to STAND against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, BUT against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore TAKE unto you the whole ARMOUR of GOD, that you may be ABLE to withstand in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. STAND therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH, and having on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS; And your feet shod with the preparation of the GOSPEL of PEACE; Above all, taking the SHIELD of FAITH, wherewith you shall be ABLE to quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the HELMET of SALVATION, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of God: Praying ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication IN the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:7-10).

We are required to consciously and consistently PUT on the whole ARMOUR of GOD in Christ in this World because He has:

1. Designed and created us as His (God's) spiritual HOUSES of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (1 Peter 2:1-8; Hebrews 3:3-6).

2. Designed and created us as His (God's) chosen GENERATION of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10).

3.Designed and created us as His (God's) royal PRIESTHOOD of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10).

4. Designed and created us as His (God's) holy NATION of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10).

5. Designed and created us as His (God's) peculiar PEOPLE of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10).

6. Designed and created us as His (God's) pleasure PLACES of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (Psalm 103:19-22; Philippians 2:12,13).

7. Designed and created us as His (God's) witness AMBASSADORS of DOMINION in Christ to REIGN on Earth. True! (Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Are you exercising and enjoying your God-given DOMINION as His divine KINGS and PRIESTS in Christ to REIGN on Earth?

The Bible reveals to us thus:

And when He (Jesus Christ) had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the PRAYERS of SAINTS. And they sung a new song, saying, you art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you wast slain, and has REDEEMED us to God by your BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And has MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the Earth. (Revelation 5:8-10; 1 Peter 2:9,10; Revelation 12:11).

Reigning as divine KINGS and PRIESTS on Earth is our original nature from the beginning, stolen by the Devil from the first Adam, but restored by Jesus Christ (the last Adam) again to us. Halleluyah!

The Bible reveals thus:

And God said, Let us MAKE man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he Him; male and female created he them. And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the Earth. (Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 3; Romans 5:14-21; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28; 45-49).

Don't GIVE up and SETTLE for less than what God has designed and created you to be in Christ on Earth. ARISE and GO for your REST and BEST in Christ in this World.  (Isaiah 60; Hebrews 4).

Go! Go!! Go!!! God is in you and I by His Holy Spirit of Christ that is in us in this World. Therefore, He said you and I are divine gods in this World and that if we do not think, speak and live as such, we shall DIE like men. God forbids!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

They know NOT, neither will they understand; they WALK on in DARKNESS: all the foundations of the Earth are OUT of course. I have said, YOU are gods; and all of you are Children of the Most High. But you shall DIE like men, and FALL like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:5-8; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 60; Matthew 7:24-27).

Jesus Christ confirmed this truth to us thus:

Jesus answered them, many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered Him, saying, for a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, BEING a MAN, makes yourself GOD. Jesus answered them, Is it NOT written in your law, I said, you are gods? If He called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture CANNOT be broken. (John 10:32-35).

Take note, take heed!

Go back to God sincerely. Go back to the Bible and read it until it RENEWED your mind and TRANSFORMED you to think, speak and live a LIFE of DOMINION by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within and upon you in this World. And always remember, GREATER is HE that is in YOU, than he that is in them in the World. True! (Colossians 3:16,17; Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 4:1-4).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

And when He (Jesus Christ) had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the PRAYERS of SAINTS. And they sung a new song, saying, you art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you wast slain, and has REDEEMED us to God by your BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And has MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the Earth. (Revelation 5:8-10; 1 Peter 2:9,10; Revelation 12:11).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: UNDERSTANDING THE FIRST AND FOREMOST PROMISE OF GOD IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!
             (A must read special edition)

Today's Focus: Understanding the FIRST and foremost PROMISE of GOD in Christ, you need to SEEK for and be FILLED and FULL with, to OVERCOME and SUCCEED in this World!

The one and only PROMISE of GOD in Christ of the NEW Testament (Covenant) is the GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT (the Spirit of Jesus Christ after His resurrection) in each and everyone of us, who genuinely became born again in this World through believing Jesus Christ's suffering, death, burial and resurrection on our behalf and confessing Him as our personal Lord and Saviour in this World. True!

Now, know and note that it is in this one and only PROMISE (the person of Holy Spirit of Christ in us) by divine design, packaged all other PROMISES of GOD in Christ to us to overcome and succeed on Earth. That is, the fruit of the Spirit, gifts of the Spirit, power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, blessing, etc. True! (Galatians 5:16-26; 1 Corinthians 12; Revelation 5:12).

The Bible reveals that those of the Old Testament (Covenant) did not receive the PROMISE of the person of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within them thus:

And these ALL, having obtained a good report through faith, received NOT the PROMISE: God having provided some better things for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:39,40).

However, the Bible reveals that WE do receive the PROMISE of the person of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within us through FAITH in the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ on our behalf thus:

Christ has REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hanged on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the SPIRIT through FAITH. (Galatians 3:13,14; Romans 4:16).

That is why the Bible says that the New Testament (Covenant) in Christ is BETTER because we receive the PROMISE of the person of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within each of us, which comes with better PROMISES as well. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But now had He (Jesus Christ) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the mediator of a better COVENANT, which was established upon better PROMISES. (Hebrews 8:6).

Therefore, the Bible says thus:

Even the MYSTERY (hidden secret) which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the RICHES of the GLORY of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST in YOU, the HOPE of GLORY (on Earth now and in Heaven someday). (Colossians 1:26, 27).

Now, the GOOD NEWS is, Jesus Christ informed us in the Bible that our heavenly Father is just and faithful than our earthly father to give us the PROMISE of the HOLY SPIRIT, if we do ask it from Him. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

And I say unto you, ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. If a son shall ASK bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ASK a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ASK an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW much more shall your heavenly FATHER give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ASK Him? (Luke 11:9-13).

Do you get it now? Halleluyah, God the Father is so GOOD.

Therefore, it is unfortunate that many genuine Christians today do ignorantly ASK for things FIRST instead of following after the counsel of Jesus Christ that instructes us to SEEK FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD, which is to seek FIRST the presence and power of the HOLY SPIRIT and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and all these will be ADDED unto us. So unfortunate! (Matthew 6:33).

That is why He (Jesus Christ) taught us to PRAY (ask) this way:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy KINGDOM (the presence and power of the HOLY SPIRIT) come. Your WILL be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).

Don't be deceived, the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ IN, UPON and THROUGH each of us in Christ in this World, comes to Earth to do the WILL of GOD in, upon and through in Christ in this World only. Nothing more, nothing less. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which WORKS in you both to WILL and to DO of His good pleasure (plan and purpose). (Philippians 2:12,13; Romans 8:26-30; Romans 12:1,2; Ephesians 5:15-18).

That is why Jesus Christ said that my food is to DO the WILL of Him that sent me and to FINISH His WORK. (John 4:34; John 9:4,5).

Remember, the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).

Now, in light of all that have being said above, Apostle Paul boldy declared thus:

For I KNOW that this shall TURN to my salvation through your PRAYER, and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19; Daniel 11:32).

I CAN DO ALL things through Christ which strengthens me. But my God shall supply ALL your NEED according to His RICHES in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:13,19).

I am so excited right now being a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World. What about you?

Seek FIRST each day, more of the PRESENCE and POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ in, upon and through you and your journey from Earth to Heaven in this World will be peacefully, purposefully, powerfully and productively driven in Christ each day to PLEASE God the Father, not only to your benefit, but also to the benefit of the World. True!

Therefore, the Bible counsels us thus:

See then that you WALK circumspectly (carefully), NOT as fools, BUT as wise, REDEEMING the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be you NOT unwise, but UNDERSTANDING what the WILL of the Lord is. And be NOT drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the SPIRIT. (Ephesians 5:15-18; Hebrews 12:1-14; 1 John 5:16-21; 1 John 2:15-17).

We must seek and pray FIRST to be FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT until our spirit, soul and body be FULL and OVERFLOW of His presence and power, to not only KNOW the WILL of GOD, but to DO His WILL for us in Christ par time par our situation and lifetime in this World. Yes, you heard me right, overflow! (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24).

It is time to get DRUNK in the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ, not in wine and things of this lustful, prideful, wasting and passing World. (1 John 2:15-17).

Jesus Christ was FILLED and FULL of the HOLY SPIRIT. Stephen was FILLED and FULL and many others. You and I must seek and pray passionately and persistently until we are FILLED and FULL of His presence and power as well. That is the only way out for us to OVERCOME and SUCCEED in Christ in this World. True! (Luke 4:1; Acts 6:1-5).

Like many genuine Christians today ask for other things first, the disciples of Jesus Christ requested when the restoration of the kingdom of Israel will be first, but He focus them on receiving the KINGDOM of GOD (the presence and power of His Holy Spirit) FIRST thus:

Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the KINGDOM of GOD:  And, being assembled together with them, COMMANDED them that they should NOT depart from Jerusalem, but WAIT for the PROMISE of the Father, which, said He, you have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be BAPTIZED with the HOLY GHOST not many days hence. When they therefore were come together, they ASKED of Him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power. But you shall receive POWER, after that the HOLY GHOST is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:2-8).

Even our Lord Jesus Christ was FILLED and FULL of the HOLY SPIRIT before He was led to be tested and tried by Satan and was able to over come Him gloriously. (Luke 4:1-21).

Again, even our Lord Jesus Christ could NOT receive or do anything until the Father FILLED and FULL Him up with the presence and power of the HOLY SPIRIT thus:

How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts 10:38).

And the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. (1 John 4:17).

Now, know and note that the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within and upon us is:

1. To SHOW and GUIDE us to all truth in Christ in this World. True! (John :1613-15).

2. To TEACH us all things in Christ in this World. (1 John 2:27).

3. To HELP us pray according to the Will of God for us in Christ in this World. (Romans 8:26-30; 1 John 5:14,15).

4. To LEAD us aright in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

5. To EMPOWER us in Christ to overcome sin in this World. (Romans 8:9-13).

6. To KNOW those things that are prepared and freely given to us by God in Christ in this World. (1 Corinthians 2:9-15).

7. To DO the Will of the Father for us in Christ par time par our situation and lifetime in this World. True! (Philippians 2:12,13; Ephesians 2:8-10).

8. And so on and so forth.

Seek the Holy Spirit of Christ's PRESENCE today by living consciously and consistently in HOLINESS by present your body as a living sacrifice and renewing and aligning your mind according to the Word, Ways and Will of God for you in Christ in this World. (Romans 12:1,2, 1 Peter 1:14-17; James 4:17).

Seek the Holy Spirit of Christ's POWER today by living consciously and consistently a PRAYERFUL  LIFE (couple with fasting as instructed by the Holy Spirit) according to the Word, Ways and Will of God for you in Christ in this World. (Matthew 17:14-21; Acts 2:1-4).

Remember, the Holy Spirit of Christ is HOLY and lives from within you in this World. Therefore,

1. You can GRIEVE Him with your conscious and consistent SIN against the Word, Ways and Will of God for you in Christ in this World. (Ephesians 4:20-32).

2. You can QUENCH Him with your conscious and consistent STUBBORNNESS, DISOBEDIENCE and REBELLION against His mission and operations within, upon and through your life in Christ in this World. True! (1 Thessalonians 5:19).

Value His presence and power within, upon and through your life, for it is a priceless and precious TREASURE of GOD that is in you in Christ in this World, which is to set you at an ADVANTAGE and ADVANCEMENT over the people of the World and to empower you to RECONCILE and RESTORE them back to God. True! (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

That is why Apostle Paul said to us thus:

But WE have this TREASURE in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER may be of God, and NOT of us. (2 Corinthians 4:7; Ephesians 3:20).

Now, know and note that YOU are BLESSED by God the Father already in CHRIST in the heavenly places. True!

The Holy Spirit revealed to us thus:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in CHRIST: According as He has CHOSEN us in Him before the foundation of the World, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His Will. (Ephesians 1:3-5; Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 8:26-30).

Yes, GOD the Father has already BLESSED you with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in the heavenly places in CHRIST JESUS according as He has you CHOSEN in Him before the foundation of the World. True!

However, you need a close WALK (relationship) and WORK (partnership) with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World:

1. To KNOW your divinely, uniquely, specifically and feely given spiritual BLESSINGS in Christ in the heavenly places and

2. To KNOW how to supernaturally and smartly work it out in the earthly places in this World, where you can receive and enjoy them as physical BLESSINGS in this World with easy. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But as it is written, EYES hath not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the THINGS which God has PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. But God has REVEALED them unto US by His Spirit: for the SPIRIT searches ALL things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that WE might KNOW the THINGS that are freely GIVEN to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-12; Romans 8:14, 26-30; Galatians 5:18).

Don't be deceived, the Bible reveals to us that it is:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 2:27).

Take note, take heed!

We are in NEW day of divine GRACE (of the advantageous support and supply of the Holy Spirit of Christ in, upon and through believers in Christ in this World). True! (Philippians 1:19; Hebrews 10:19-25; Hebrews 4:14-16).

Think about it and do something urgentlly now to IMPROVE your level of COMMUNION (relationship, fellowship and partnership) with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World. This is because, in it lies the secret to your VICYORY and SUCCESS in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:9-30; Galatians 5:16-26).

Always remember, GREATER is HE that is in YOU, than he that is in them in the World. True! (1 John 4:1-4).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Then He answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the Word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, NOT by might, NOR by power, BUT by MY SPIRIT, said the LORD of hosts. Who art you, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? You shal become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, GRACE, grace unto it. (Zechariah 4:6,7; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Hebrews 4:14-16).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: BUILDING UP YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST, GETTING DIVINE RESULTS IN THIS WORLD BY PRAYING WITH AND IN THE HOLY GHOST!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Building UP your FAITH in Christ, getting divine RESULTS in this World by praying WITH and IN the HOLY GHOST!

We have being taught over the years that PRAYERS involving the HOLY GHOST is only:

1. When we pray with UNKNOWN Tongue (speaking in tongue or heavenly language) and not also

2. When we pray with KNOWN Tongues (human languages).

This is not true because KNOWN tongues' PRAYERS according to the Bible must be made by the inspiration, enlightenment, revelation, guidance and empowerment (as the case may be) of the Holy Ghost, to be effective and productive, divine wise in Christ on Earth. True!

Because of the misinformation stated above, many genuine Christians do NOT consciously and consistently DEPEND on the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within them to PRAY in, with and through them, whether with an UNKNOWN Tongue (speaking in tongue or heavenly language) or with KNOWN Tongues (human languages). So sad!

Apostle Paul explained to us that he PRAYED WITH the SPIRIT thus:

Wherefore let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an UNKNOWN tongue, my SPIRIT prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will PRAY WITH the SPIRIT, and I will PRAY with the UNDERSTANDING also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. (1 Corinthians 14:13-15).

Furthermore, he encouraged us to PRAY IN the SPIRIT thus:

But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that  you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having NOT the Spirit. But you, beloved, building up YOURSELVES on your most holy FAITH,  praying IN the HOLY GHOST. (Jude 1:17-19).

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: PRAYING always with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN the SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6:17,18).

From the understanding of the above scriptural references and many others in the Bible, we can see the need to PRAY with or in the Holy Spirit at all times. True!

Also, we can see clearly that:

1. We are PRAYING WITH the SPIRIT, when we are PRAYING with an UNKNOWN Tongue (speaking in tongue or heavenly language). That is, the Holy Spirit Himself doing the praying within and through us at such times, with our understanding unfruitful. (1 Corinthians 14:13-15).

Apostle Paul said "my SPIRIT prays", but my UNDERSTANDING is unfruitful. Remember, in Christ, our our human spirit become ONE with the Holy Spirit. True! (1 Corinthians 6:17-21).

2. We are PRAYING IN the SPIRIT, when we are PRAYING with KNOWN tongues (human languages). That is, we ourselves doing the praying by the inspiration, enlightenment, revelation, guidance and empowerment (as the case may be) of the Holy Spirit at such times, with our understanding fruitful. (Ephesians 6:17,18).

Therefore, it is the exclusive right of the HOLY GHOST to whether:

1. PRAY in, with or through us on a matter with an UNKNOWN Tongue (speaking in tongue or heavenly language) for our mind NOT to have understanding or being unfruitful of the matter at stake or

2. PRAY in, with or through us on a matter with KNOWN Tongues (human languages) for our mind TO have understanding or being fruitful of the matter at stake. True!

As genuine Children of God in Christ in this World, we are expected to solely DEPEND on the Holy Spirit at all times to PRAY the WILL of God the Father in, with and through us, whether with an UNKNOWN Tongue (speaking in tongue or heavenly language) or with KNOWN Tongues (human languages). True!

That is the only way we can have confidence that our PRAYERS or PETITIONS to God the Father in Jesus' name is RIGHT and will be ANSWERED, like those who have gone before us having their PRAYERS or PETITIONS right and answered, because they solely depend on the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within them to PRAY the WILL of God within or through them in Christ par time in this World. True!

Apostle John revealed this to us thus:

And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in Him, that, if we ASK any thing according to His WILL, He hears us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. (1 John 5:14,15; Romans 12:1,2).

Therefore, timely to know and note is that many genuine Christians have NOT come to the understanding and consciousness that EVERYTHING currently in this World as regards true CHRISTIANITY practices rises and falls ONLY on the activities of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ in, upon and through us par time, the Children of God in Christ in this World. True!

And, ONE critical area this truth has NOT been realised by many genuine Christians, is in the area of PRAYER. True!

Many genuine Christians do NOT know that no matter how good their English Language speaking ability is or other human languages are, they cannot still or always PRAY alright according to the WILL of GOD or the MIND of GOD for them or for others on their own, without the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within them. So sad!

This truth Apostle Paul realised and revealed to us thus:

Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities: for we know NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought: BUT the SPIRIT itself makes intercession for us with groaning (s) which cannot be uttered. And He (God the Father) that searches the hearts knows what is the MIND of the SPIRIT, because He makes INTERCESSION for the SAINTS according to the WILL of GOD. And we know that ALL things work together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. For whom He did FOREKNOW, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the IMAGE of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did PREDESTINATE, them he also called: and whom He CALLED, them He also justified: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED. (Romans 8:26-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 12:1,2).

Apostle Paul made us to understand that when we PRAY WITH the HOLY GHOST (with unknown tongue), that is, by allowing the HOLY GHOST of Christ that is within us to PRAY Himself in, with or through us, we speak MYSTERIES (hidden secrets) in the spirit, EDIFYING ourselves.

The Bible reveals thus:

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy. For he that speaks in an UNKNOWN tongue speaks NOT unto men, but unto God: for NO man understands him; howbeit in the spirit he speaks MYSTERIES. But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaks in an UNKNOWN tongue EDIFIES himself; but he that prophesies edifies the church. I would that you all spake with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. (1 Corinthians 14:1-5).

Also, he made us to understanding that when we PRAY IN the HOLY GHOST (with known tongues), that is, by allowing the HOLY GHOST of Christ that is within us to inspire, enlighten, reveal to, guide and empower us to PRAY in or through us:

1. We BUILD up ourselves on our most HOLY FAITH. True:

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But, beloved, remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having NOT the Spirit. But you, beloved, building up YOURSELVES on your most holy FAITH,  praying IN the Holy Ghost. (Jude 1:17-19).

2. We effectively employ the SWORD of the SPIRIT to defend or defeat our enemies. True!

And take the helmet of salvation, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of God: PRAYING always with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN the SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saint. (Ephesians 6:17,18; Hebrew 4:12).

In the light of the above, it becomes inevitable for a genuine believer of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in this World:

1. Not to learn how to PRAY WITH the HOLY GHOST (unknown tongue) or

2. Not to learn how to PRAY IN the HOLY GHOST (know tongues). That is, praying by the inspiration, enlightenment, revelation, guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit par time par prayer . True!

Now, know and note that NO one can come to his or her FULLNESS in Christ, in terms of entering his or her divine REST and BEST in Christ in this World, without employing the above explained two approaches to PRAYER, as a divinely laid down way of the HOLY GHOST helping us in Christ in this World to PRAY alright the Will or Mind of God the Father to encounter divine interventions and get divine results in Christ par time in this World. True!

This is because:

1. Without the HELP of the Holy Spirit, you and I will end up PRAYING lustful prayers thus:

From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that war in your members? You LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ASK not. You ASK, and RECEIVE not, because you ASK amiss, that you may consume it upon your LUSTS. You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do you think that the scripture said in vain, The spirit that dwells IN us lusts to envy? (James 4:1-5; James 1:12-15; 1 John 2:15-17).

Is the above scriptural passage not the conscious or unconscious current state of the PRAYER LIVES and POINTS of lots of genuine Christians today.

Are you one of  them?

Think about it and do something about it urgently now , for the TIME now is shorter than when we first believed. (Ephesians 5:15-18).

2. Without the HELP of the Holy Spirit, you and I will end up fainting in our PRAYER life thus:

And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to PRAY, and NOT to FAINT. (Luke 18:1).

That was the case of Peter, James and John, when Jesus Christ took them along to PRAY during His last days on Earth. They were sleeping (vis-à-vis fainting in their prayer life), when they were supposed to be praying with Jesus Christ. This is because they have not received the empowerment of the HOLY SPIRIT at that time. (Matthew 26:36-45).

Are you fainting in your PRAYER LIFE today?

Sincerely seek the inspiration, enlightenment, revelation guidance and empowerment of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World and you go life through prayerfully, powerfully and purposefully having amazing breakthrough RESULTS with your PRAYER LIFE in Christ in this World. True!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

And take the helmet of salvation, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the Word of God: PRAYING always with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN the SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saint. (Ephesians 6:17,18; Hebrew 4:12).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THE SIZE OF YOUR VIEW IN CHRIST CAN DENY YOU GOD'S REST AND BEST FOR YOU IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The size of your VIEW in Christ can DENY you God's REST and BEST for you in Christ in this World!

The size of your VIEW of God, yourself, your challenges and things in generally can give you a BIG DEAL or SMALL DEAL in Christ in this World. True!

This is so because:

1. It is a BIG DEAL to think, speak and live on the Earth and VIEW your God, yourself, your challenges and things generally through your divine EYES of Faith instead of through your human EYES of Fear, therefore getting divine RESULTS against all odds in Christ in this World. True!

2. It is a SMALL DEAL to think, speak and live on the Earth and VIEW your God, yourself, your challenges and things generally through your human EYES of Fear instead of through your divine EYES of faith, therefore getting human RESULTS in Christ in this World. True!

That is why Daniel said thus:

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the PEOPLE that do KNOW their GOD shall be STRONG, and DO exploits. (Daniel 11:32).

You cannot SEE God, yourself, your challenges (vis-à-vis your GIANTS) and things generally through your human EYES of Fear, then expecting to get divine RESULTS in Christ in this World. Never!

You must SEE God, yourself, your challenges (vis-à-vis your GIANTS) and things generally through your divine EYES of Faith, in order to get divine RESULTS in Christ in this World. True!

This was the situation in the days of the Children of Israel, when they journeyed from Egypt to Canaan Land and Moses was instructed by God to sent twelve (12) spies to their Promised Land to bring back report from the Land. Interestingly,

1. Only TWO spies (Joshua and Caleb) SAW themselves and the GIANT inhabitants on their Promised Land (given to them by God), through their divine EYES of Faith and BELIEVE with Him (God) they can still possess it, no matter what. What a BIG DEAL view that made God allow them entrance into their Promised Land. It shall be so for you in Jesus name.

2. The other TEN spies SAW themselves and the GIANT inhabitants of their Promised Land (given to them by God), through their human EYES of Fear and do not BELIEVE with Him (God) they can still possess it, no matter what. What a SMALL DEAL view that made God denied them entrance into their Promised Land. It shall not be so for you in Jesus name.

This is the situation of lots of many genuine Christians today. Many do have SMALL DEAL view in their WALK (relationship) and WORK (responsibility) with God in Christ in this World. So bad, so sad!

Therefore the Bible warns us thus:

Let us therefore FEAR, lest, a PROMISE being LEFT us of ENTERING into His REST, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the WORD preached did NOT profit them, NOT being MIXED with FAITH in them that heard it. For we which have BELIEVED do ENTER into REST, as He said, as I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (Hebrews 4:1-3; Hebrews 11:6).

The Bible reveals to us that:

1. God got ANGRY with the ten spies who SAW themselves and their giants through their human EYES of Fear and brought BAD report to Moses and the Children of Israel. Therefore, He (God) made sure they and those who BELIEVED their BAD report do not ENTER their Promised land in due time. So bad, so sad!

That will not be your portion in Jesus name, but you must learn to SEE things from God's perspective henceforth, not from your human perspective. True!

2. God was PLEASED with other spies (Joshua and Caleb who SAW themselves and their giants through their divine EYES of Faith and brought GOOD report to the Moses and the Children of Israel. Therefore, He (God) made sure they and those who BELIEVED their GOOD report do ENTER into their promised land. So good, so encouraging!

That will be your portion in Jesus name, but you must learn to SEE things from God's perspective henceforth, not from your human perspective. True!

If I may ask you right away:

1. Through what EYES do you SEE God in Christ in this World?

Is it through your divine EYES of Faith or human EYES of Fear?

2. Through what EYES do you SEE yourself in Christ in this World?

Is it through your divine EYES of Faith or human EYES of Fear?

3. Through what EYES do you SEE your challenges (vis-à-vis your giants) in Christ in this World?

Is it through your divine EYES of Faith or human EYES of Fear?

The Bible reveals God's DISPLEASURE when we who are in Him in Christ in this World do not SEE Him, ourselves, our challenges and things generally through our divine EYES of Faith and therefore, operates below who we are n Him in Christ in this World. Yes, your powerful God and caring Father is not happy with such diminishing and defeating perspective. Therefore, the Bible reveals thus:

They know NOT, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: ALL the foundations of the earth are OUT of course. I have said, YOU are gods; and ALL of you are children of the most High. But YOU shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:5-7).

Jesus Christ confirmed this truth, when He said thus:

Is it not written in your law, I said, YOU are gods? If He called them gods, unto whom the Word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken. (John 10:34).

Now, know and note that it only when you SEE God, yourself, your challenges and things generally through your divine EYES of Faith and ACT accordingly and appropriately as divinely instructed par time by the Holy of Spirit, that you will obtain GOOD reports in the sight and side of God and finally, receive DIVINE interventions and results from Him (God) as well. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT seen. For by it the elders obtained a GOOD report. But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him: for he that comes to GOD must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently SEEK Him. (Hebrews 11:1,2,6).

Change your VIEW about your God, yourself and things generally from a SMALL DEAL view to a BIG DEAL view by allowing the WORD of GOD influence and rule over your mind, tongue, actions and your life generally and you will encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ in this World each day. True! (Romans 12:1,2; Philippians 4:8,9).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

While we look NOT at the things which are seen, but at the things which are NOT seen: for the things which are seen are TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT seen are ETERNAL. (2 Corinthians 4:18; Colossians 3:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Understanding the RELATIONSHIP between your human SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY in this World!

If you are genuinely born again:

1. Your human SPIRIT is recreated and regenerated with Jesus Christ's (NEW) nature from Heaven and is the Word of God oriented and inclined. True!

2. Your human BODY is still created and generated with fallen Adam's (OLD) nature of Satan from the Earth and is the World oriented and inclined. True! (2 Corinthians 5:17).

3. Your human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) is either the WORD of GOD or the WORLD oriented and inclined, depending on which (your human spirit or your human body) you allow par time to influence and lead it. True! (Romans 12:1,2).

Good to know and note is that:

1. Your human SPIRIT is designed and designated by God to relate with the spiritual World and receive spiritual information and instructions from it to manifest on Earth. True!

2. Your human BODY is designed and designated by God to relate with the physical World and receive physical information and instructions from it to manifest on Earth. True!

3. Your human SOUL is designed and designated by God to relate with your human SPIRIT and/or your human BODY by receiving spiritual information and instructions from your human SPIRIT or physical information and instructions from your human BODY par time, depending on which you allow to influence and lead it (your soul) to manifest on Earth. True!

Now, know and note that which (your human spirit or your human body) you allow to influence and lead your human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) par time matters, because it will determine the STATUS (position) and STATE (condition) of your spiritual and physical HEALTH and WEALTH in general in Christ par time in the World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as your SOUL prospers. (3 John 1:2).

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

Beware lest any man SPOIL you through philosophy and vain deceit, AFTER the tradition of men, AFTER the rudiments of the World, and NOT after Christ. For in Him dwells ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And YOU are complete in Him, which is the Head of ALL principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10).

Why?

Because, the Bible reveals to us thus:

For they that are AFTER the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are AFTER the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be CARNALLY (Worldly) MINDED is death; but to be SPIRITUALLY (Word of God) MINDED is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is NOT subject to the LAW of GOD, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh CANNOT please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell IN you. Now if any man have NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell IN you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your mortal BODIES by His SPIRIT that dwells IN you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, NOT to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live AFTER the flesh, you shall die: but if you THROUGH the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live. For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:5-14; Philippians 4:8,9).

When you genuinely give your life to Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord, your human SPIRIT is recreated and regenerated by God the Father with the Holy Spirit of Christ in ONENESS. True! (1 Corinthians 6:17-20).

The Bible reveals to us thus:

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God has before ordained that we should walk IN them. (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Your human SPIRIT become ONE with the Holy SPIRIT of Christ after your genuinely born again experience on Earth. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But he that is JOINED unto the Lord is ONE spirit.  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is WITHOUT the BODY; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. What? know you not that your body is the TEMPLE of the HOLY GHOST which is IN you, which you have of God, and you are NOT your own? For yeyou are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in your BODY, and in your SPIRIT, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:17-20).

Therefore,

1. You must allow your recreated and regenerated human SPIRIT (by God with the Holy Spirit of Christ) to influence and lead your human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) par time, NOT your human BODY, to get your desired divine interventions and results in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

2. You must allow the inspired WORD of GOD to influence and lead your human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) par time, NOT your human BODY, to get your desired divine interventions and results at in Christ in this World. True! (Colossians 3:16,17; Philippians 4:8,9; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8).

Many genuine Christians are NOT aware that after their born again experience, only their human SPIRIT was supernaturally converted or transformed by God the Father with the Holy Spirit of Christ and their human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) was not. True!

This is because according to divine design, our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) is to be gradually and supernaturally converted or transformed par time as we continuously RENEW our human MIND with the WORD of GOD to know and do the WILL of GOD for us in Christ par time in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you PRESENT your BODIES a living sacrifice, HOLY, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. And be NOT conformed to this World: BUT be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of GOD. (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) is only converted or transformed par time by the WORD of GOD that we humbly heard, accepted and obeyed (live out) par time in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

The LAWof the LORD is perfect, CONVERTING the SOUL: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. (Psalm 19:7-14).

Interesting to know and note is that:

1. Our human BODY (eyes) will yield or follow par time wherever our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) has righteously or lustfully decided to influence and lead it to SEE in this World. True!

2. Our human BODY (ears) will yield or follow par time wherever our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) has righteously or lustfully decided to influence and lead it to HEAR in this World. True!

3. Our human BODY (mouth) will yield or follow par time wherever our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) has righteously or lustfully decided to influence and lead it to TASTE or SPEAK in this World. True!

4. Our human BODY (noses) will yield or follow par time wherever our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) has righteously or lustfully decided to influence and lead it to SMELL in this World. True!

5. Our human BODY (skin) will yield or follow par time wherever our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) has righteously or lustfully decided to influence and lead it to FEEL in this World. True!

It is our RESPONSIBILITY with the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us to manage and mature our five (5) senses that we use to relates and receive information and instructions from the physical World, to be obedient to the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for us par time par our situation in this World. True!

Jesus Christ counselled us thus:

You have heard that it was said by them of OLD time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, that whosoever LOOKS on a woman to LUST after her has COMMITTED adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right EYE offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for thee that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right HAND offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that ONE of your members should perish, and not that thy WHOLE body should be cast into hell. (Matthew 5:27-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Mark 4:3-20).

If Job of the Old Testament (Covenant) can say thus, we in Christ of the New Testament (Covenant) should be able to do much more better with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us:

I made a COVENANT with mine EYES; why then should I think upon a maid? (Job 31:1).

You and I in Christ in this World must make conscious and consistent COVENANT (agreement) with our five (5) senses never to go against the Word, Ways and Will of God for us in Christ for any reason or in any season of our WALK (relationship) and WORK (responsibility) with God in Christ in this World. True!

We must master our MIND, EMOTIONS and WILL pattern of choice making and decision taking par time and consciously and consistently compel them to submit and obey the WORD, WAYS and WILL of God for us in Christ in this World, in other for us to manage our LUSTS (Self) alright and away to please God and defeat the DEVIL (Satan) anytime, any day he shows up to ENTICE us in the areas of our lust against the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for us in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time: Casting ALL your care upon Him; for he CARES for you. Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom RESIST stedfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the World. But the God of all grace, who has called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, AFTER that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5:6-10; John 10:10).

How do the Devil seek to DEVOUR (kill, steal and destroy) us in Christ in this World?

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him. Let NO man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is DRAWN away of his OWN lust, and ENTICED. Then when lust has conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and SIN, when it is finished, bringeth forth DEATH. (James 1:12-15; 1 John 2:15-17).

You handle your LUSTS better, when you understand the relationship between your human SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY and humbly allow your recreated and regenerated human SPIRIT by God with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you and the WORD, WAYS and WILL of God you have heard, learnt and accepted to influence and lead you in all of your daily CHOICES and DECISIONS in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 5:12-14).

God's CHASTISEMENT and Spiritual DISCIPLINES, such as studying the Word of God, fasting, prayer, giving, forgiveness, living by love, faith and hope, etc are to MANAGE and MATURE our human SOUL (mind, emotions and will) to yield to the Word, Ways and Will of God for us in Christ par time par our situation in this World. True! (Hebrews 12:1-14; Hebrews 5:6-9).

Spiritually and physically our human BODY DIES (get weakens and finally separates from our human SPIRIT and SOUL) when we live and continue in SIN unto unholiness and spiritually and Physically COMES ALIVE (get strengthens and connected to our human SPIRIT and SOUL) when we live and continue in RIGHTEOUSNESS unto holiness in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be DEAD indeed unto sin, but ALIVE unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let NOT sin therefore REIGN in your mortal BODY, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but YIELD yourselves unto GOD, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For SIN shall NOT have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.... (Romans 6:11-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-26; 1 John 5:16-21).

Think about the truth I am sent to share with you today and do something urgently with it to your own advantage and advancement in Christ in this World.

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Quench NOT the Spirit. Despise NOT prophesyings. PROVE all things; HOLD fast that which is good.  ABSTAIN from all appearance of EVIL. And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you wholly; and I pray God your whole SPIRIT and SOUL (mind, emotions and will) and BODY be preserved BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. FFAITHFUL is He that calls you, who also will DO it. (1 Thessalonians 5:19-24; Romans 12:1,2).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THE TRUTH ABOUT ONE BEING IN AN INSANITY OR A SANITY STATE BEFORE GOD ON EARTH!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The truth about one being in an INSANITY or a SANITY state before God on Earth!

The wisest man that ever lived before Jesus Christ walked physically on the Earth, King Solomon, once found out thus:

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the HEART of the SONS of men is FULL of EVIL, and MADNESS is in their HEART while they LIVE, and after that they go to the dead. (Ecclesiastes 9:3; Jeremiah 17:9,10; 1 John 18-21)

Now, know and note that:

The increase in DEMONIC presence and activities in one's life leads to the real INSANITY on Earth (sinful life, abnormal life, life not ordained and life not expected by God for such one in Christ in this World). True!

Meanwhile, the increase in DIVINE presence and activities in one's life leads to the real SANITY on Earth (righteous life, normal life, life ordained and life expected by God for him or her in Christ in this World). True!

Therefore, know and note that:

1. Thinking, Speaking and Living outside of God's WORD leads to SIN and increases SIN in one's life. Increase in sin leads to increase in DEMONIC presence and activities. Increase in demonic presence and activities in one's life leads him or her to manifesting of the real INSANITY on Earth before God. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

We know that whosoever is BORN of GOD sins not; but he that is BEGOTTEN of GOD keeps himself, and that WICKED one touches him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole WORLD lies in WICKEDNESS. And we know that the SON of GOD is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may KNOW Him that is true, and we are in Him that is TRUE, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from IDOLS (demons). Amen. (1 John 5:18-21).

Likewise,

2. Thinking, Speaking and Living in line with God's WORD leads to RIGHTEOUSNESS and increases RIGHTEOUSNESS in one's life. Increase in righteousness leads to increase in DIVINE presence and activities. Increase in divine presence and activities in one's life leads him or her to manifesting of the real SANITY on Earth before God. True!

God did not originally designed and created SIN to be part of human nature and manifestations on Earth, but RIGHTEOUSNESS only. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Behold, this have I found, said the preacher, COUNTING one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this ONLY have I found, that God has MADE man UPRIGHT; but they have SOUGHT out many inventions. (Ecclesiastes 7:27-29).

Again, the Bible reveals to us thus:

For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a SOUND MIND. Now we have received, NOT the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might KNOW the things that are freely GIVEN to us of God. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that He may instruct Him? But WE have the MIND of CHRIST. For as HE is, so are WE in this World. (2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Corinthians 2:12,16; 1 John 4:17).

So, God did not designed and created you and I to SIN, but to think, speak and live on Earth righteously and gloriously to His glory as His own creation on Earth. True!

God wants you and I exalted (be on top) only by originally designing and creating us to think, speak and live RIGHTEOUSLY on the Earth, but Satan who introduced SIN to humanity wants otherwise for us. True! (Genesis 1, 2, 3).

Therecord, the Bible reveals to us that Righteousness EXALTS a nation: but sin is a REPROACH to any people. (Proverbs 14:34; Deuteronomy 28:1-14).

Now, know and note that because SIN (acts of insanity on Earth before God in Heaven) or RIGHTEOUSNESS (acts of sanity on Earth before God in Heaven) begins from our MIND, Apostle Paul counselled thus:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these THINGS. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9; 2 Corinthians 10:3:6; Psalm 19:7-14).

Many people, especially Christians, get it wrong, when they think that is only the naked mad men or women on the street that is INSANE before the eyes of the Lord. But sad to say, many are unknowingly INSANE before the eyes of the Lord at various level of DEMONIC presence and activities in their lives (spirit, soul and body) made possible by their conscious or unconscious involvement in SIN (act of insanity on Earth before God in Heaven), which makes them think, speak and live contrary to God's intentions, designs and expectations from them in Christ on Earth. So sad!

That is why Apostle Paul prayed for us thus:

And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you wholly; and I pray God your whole SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that called you, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:23,24).

Now, the truth to be told, if many genuine Christians will humble themselves to know the PERFECT WILL of God for their lives in Christ in this World:

1. They will be amazed and at the same time sad on how they THINK far from the gracious and glorious life of the Perfect Will of God in Christ for them on Earth. True!

2. They will be amazed and at the same time sad on how they SPEAK far from the gracious and glorious life of the Perfect Will of God in Christ for them on Earth. True!

3. They will be amazed and at the same time sad on how they LIVE far from the gracious and glorious life of the Perfect Will of God in Christ for them on Earth. True!

Therefore, know and note that as a Child of God in Christ in this World, thinking, speaking and living OUTSIDE the PERFECT WORD, WAYS, WORKS and WILL of God for you in Christ in this World par time is INSANITY manifestation before Him (God the Father). True!

This is because not only as JESUS CHRIST is, so are WE (in Him) in this World, we are also COMPLETE in Him. True! (1 John 4:17; Colossians 2:8-10).

Therefore, Apostle Paul pleaded with us thus:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you PRESENT your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this World: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of God. (Romans 12:1,2).

Think about it and do something about it now, because Jesus Christ, our ultimate role model on Earth said thus:

In the mean while his disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat. But He said unto them, I have meat to eat that you know NOT of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, has any man brought Him ought to eat?  Jesus said unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him (God the Father) that sent me, and to FINISH His WORK. (John 4:31-34; 1 John 4:17).

Are you manifesting true SANITY or INSANITY on Earth before God, your Designer and Maker?

Don't be deceived, God is LESS concerned about changing your problems and MORE concerned about changing YOU or making you SANE in Christ on the Earth before Him. This is because He knows, changing you or making you SANE in Christ on the Earth before Him will CHANGE your problems automatically or gradually for GOOD for His glory. True! ( Romans 12:1,2; Romans 8:28-30).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which CONVERTS the SINNER from the ERROR (insanity) of his WAY shall SAVE a SOUL from death, and shall HIDE a multitude of SINS (acts of insanity on Earth before God in Heaven). (James 5:19,20).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

God bless you.
