You are more than a conqueror.

There is an interesting story in the book of 1 Samuel 13:1-14 about King Saul and his men when they were confronted by their enemies (the Philistines). King Saul had only 3,000 armies while the philistines had armies as numerous as the sand on the sea shore. In addition they had 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horse men. King Saul and his men were frightened and distressed and they knew that they could not match up with what was against them.

Are you presently in a similar situation where in the physical your circumstance is overwhelming and you don’t know the way out of the problem. Whatever the situation confronting you, the Lord wants you to know that he has won the battle for you on the cross. What he expects you to do is focus on him and this victory. Confess with your mouth all that he has accomplished for you and maintain your confession.

Two days ago (11th February 2012), I heard the voice of God clearly and he told me that “Jesus Christ is the way out and also the way in.” Jesus is the way out of any terrible situation and the way into the blessings of the Kingdom of God. It is very wise to focus on the way out a situation than focusing on the situation. Jesus Christ must be our main focus and this is made easy by the help of the Holy Spirit.

John 14:6: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

In the case of King Saul, he did not focus on God but on himself and the situation around him. He did not cry onto God for help but he was crying about his situation. He was focusing on his weaknesses, his lack, and his inabilities and also on his enemies. He was not like David who walked with God and casted all his cares upon God.

Psalm 34:6: “This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.”

Our victory is in Christ Jesus who paid the price for our sins, sicknesses, poverty and bondages. He overcame and when we believe in him we become conquerors like him.

Romans 8:35-37: “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Focusing on our situation brings anxiety, fear and hopelessness. Focusing on God brings revelation of his greatness and his ability to save and deliver. We must learn to magnify God in every situation and within a short time we will see him coming through for us.

Psalm 34:3-6: Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Salvation did not come to the poor man mentioned in the above psalm until he cried out unto God. Meditate on psalm 34 for some days, relax and enjoy your victory in Christ.

Revival is coming to United Kingdom

The Lord gave me this word on the 27th of November 2011.

“I am the Lord, I do not change. I do not share my glory with any man. I have called you. I am with you. You are my battle axe. I take over the land. I take over the nation. Those who were not looking for me will find me. Those who did not know me before will know me. This nation will be identified in me. I am your identity, United Kingdom I am your God and King. I am enthroned in this nation. You will serve me. The knowledge of my glory will fill your heart. This nation will be like a shining star. Revival is coming to this nation. Wait for it like the latter rain. It will not tarry. Get ready, be prepared my children. I will revive this nation. My light will shine through you and those in darkness will see the light come. Get ready for this rain.”

The Lord God has a good plan and purpose for this nation. The Christians are the body of Christ that God is going to use. He wants us to come together in prayer for the coming revival. When we pray great things will begin to happen. The angels of God are waiting for us to start praying for this nation. As we pray, the angels of God will ascend to the throne of God to bring down the answers to our request. If we don’t pray, then nothing will happen. Our prayer is the preparation for this coming revival. This revival will surely come even as Noah’s flood. Noah prepared for the flood by building an ark according to God’s instructions. Noah’s flood came to destroy, but the Lord’s revival is coming to bring life and fruitfulness to this nation. This revival will bring a rich and satisfying life.

The Lord is willing to help us by his Spirit. The Lord will stretch out his hands with healing power. Miraculous signs and wonders will be done through the name of Jesus Christ the Messiah. Those who do not believe in the existence of the living God will be arrested by the power of the Holy Spirit. The knowledge of the glory of God will fill this nation as waters cover the sea. The wind of the glory of God will begin to blow from Northern Ireland and Scotland, down to Wales and England.

Join us at The Overcomers Christian Church of God, Holy Trinity Church Building, Bushey Mill Lane, Bushey, Hertfordshire, WD23 2AS every Tuesdays from 6am-7am. Come and pray for just 1hr in the mornings before you go to work. Prayer meeting starts on Tuesday the 3rd of January 2012. Remember when you pray for your nation you are praying for yourself. Shalom!

The Greatest Invitation

On the morning of 10th November 2011, God spoke His word to my hearing. I believe these words are for every man on this earth. It is for those born of a woman and also for those who now have the 2nd birth by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 1:13: “who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

If you are a human being and you inhabit the surface of this earth, this invitation is for you. It is a message of peace because God has made peace with the heavens and the earth by the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Colossians 1:20: New Living Translation (NLT): “and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.”

Now let’s begin to read the greatest invitation from God.

 I am the Lord, I do not change. I do not share My glory with any man. I dwell in My temple and My throne is established forever. I see and know all things. Man kind, how long will I call that you will not answer? How long have I beckoned but you ignored Me. You are blind and deaf to the extent that you cannot comprehend spiritual things. I wish your eyes are opened to see and your ears opened to hear. I have loved you with eternal love. Why don’t you seek this love? Why don’t you seek Me with all your heart? I reveal Myself to those who seek me with a pure heart. I have all things ready. Come and dine with Me. Come and eat at My table. All things have been prepared for you My children. Come and receive sight so that you can see clearly. Come and let your ears be opened to my voice. I have loved you dearly. There are so many things you need to see, to hear and understand. I will not cast away anyone who comes to me. I love you My children. I have died for you. I have given you hope. Come and drink from the river of salvation. Come and enjoy My presence. Everything you ever need has been given to you. Enjoy My presence. I want to share My heart with you. I want to show you great and mighty things you do not know. My children come to Me, come to Me. I have loved you with My everlasting love.

Why am I here? Part 2

We are here to fulfil the purpose of God on earth. God had you in his mind before the foundation of the world. You come into the fullness of God’s purpose for your life only when you are in Christ Jesus. You have been called by God for good works. You have been called by God to be a solution in your generation.

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

It usually becomes difficult to fulfil the purpose of God of God on earth, without having the devil to contend with. This is because his mission is to destroy every good work that God has called you to do on earth. God has however, provided everything you need to succeed even in the presence of your enemies. When you are in Christ, the enemy has no power over you.

Psalm 23:5a “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

God wants you to focus on what he has provided and not on the enemy. This attitude is called faith. The threat the enemy poses does not matter. Instead, what matters is your focus. Focus on the word of God and what it says about you, and it will surely come to pass in your life. God has put everything under our feet because we are made in his image. We have been given authority over all things.

Genesis 9:2 “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.”

The enemy knows that we as Christians have power and authority, but we can be ignorant of what we have. When we fail to use what we have, then we might not be able to enjoy the things that God has freely given us. The children of Israel were commanded by God to walk through the land of Canaan because he had given it to them. The Israelites nonetheless, looked small in their own eyes and the people of Canaan looked more powerful to them. Whatever you focus on usually becomes magnified. They failed to possess the land of Canaan due to fear, but little did they know that the Canaanites were afraid of them. Israel wasted 40 years in the wilderness walking round because they were afraid of their enemies.

Joshua 2:10-11 “For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.”

The Canaanites were already shaken with fear when they heard about Israel. The Israelites could have overcome the Canaanites easily if they had acted upon the word of God. The book of 2 Timothy 1:7 says that “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Everything that will not allow you to live a fulfilled life is under your feet. Focus on the promises of God for your life and victory is surely yours in Jesus name.”

Why am I here? Part 1

Many of us know why we have taken up a job or why we have relocated to certain parts of the country or nation or why he have married our spouses, but many still don’t know why we are here in this world.

God has put us here so that his purpose will be fulfilled in our lives. Many who are not aware that God exists will find it difficult to believe that he placed man on the earth for his own pleasure and glory. The only way that we give God pleasure and glory, is when we are fruitful and take dominion over all the works of his hands.

Genesis 1:26 “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 1:31a “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good."

God takes pleasure in the works of his hands and also when man is in dominion. When he sees you living in dominion, God says it is very good. The world however is now in a fallen state because of sin. Dominion and fruitfulness only comes through Jesus Christ the saviour of the world.

John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

To be in Christ, is to identify with him in his death and resurrection and continue living and walking in him. This is known as salvation from sin, bondage, sicknesses and poverty. Jesus Christ is an overcomer and when we remain in him, we also overcome. He described himself as the vine of a tree, whilst those who believe and trust in him - he described as the branches. The same life that flows through the vine also flows through every branch that remains in him. As he is, so are we in this world. (1John 4:17)

John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

You will not move into the purpose of God for your life on earth, until you become born again by believing in your heart that Jesus is the son of God, that he died for your sins and rose again to make you have a right standing with God. The book of John 10:10 clearly state the devil’s job description. He is a thief, a murderer and a destroyer.
Abundant life through dominion only comes through Christ Jesus. When you are in Christ, you receive the power to become a child of God and you receive the authority to have dominion over all the works of the enemy.

Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

God does not derive any pleasure from sin, sickness, slavery and poverty. He only takes pleasure in people who stand in Christ by faith and overcome in all circumstances.

1 John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

We are born again when we remain in the risen Christ who is the first born from the dead. Anyone who is born again is born of God, and he is an overcomer. Our God given purpose is fulfilled here on earth only by faith. I pray that we begin to use the measure of faith that the Lord has given us, so that more faith will be multiplied unto us to live in this world as an overcomer.

Total Victory in God’s presence. Part 2

In the presence of God is the anointing and this is his power. I heard Benny Hinn talk about the sheep in Israel being rubbed with olive oil to keep the bugs off. Bugs can be likened to demonic activity or enemies of man. Fire goes before the Lord and consumes all his enemies. Anointing keeps the bugs off your life. If you are a child of God, then all your enemies become his enemies and they are consumed by God’s fire as you learn to be in his presence.

Galatians 5:1- "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage".

Many people want solution to their problems but not necessarily God. They want God only on their own terms. Many go from one deliverance service to another but instead of their problem getting better, it gets worse. It is only the presence of God that gives total victory.

Luke 11:24-26 - “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

We need to be completely full of the Holy Spirit so that the enemy will have no place in our lives. We need to be more intimate with his word, meditating on his word until his word becomes part of us. We must stop using the word of God as “chewing gum” because chewing gum is not swallowed and so does not become part of the body.

James 1:21b - "Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls".

Until the word of God is planted in our hearts, we will not benefit from it. It is the word of God that has already become part of us that can deliver us in hard times. If you are still struggling in any area of your life, then you need more of the presence of God.

1 John 4:17-18- "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love".

If you are still living in fear and condemnation then you need more of God. Wounded hearts are healed, word curses are destroyed, and evil ties are broken in the presence of God. The bible says that as Christ is, so are we in this world. If we are not as Christ yet even though in our spirit man we are like him, then we need more of him. Time spent with God is not wasted time but it is sowing time and we will reap in due time if we do not give up.

Total victory in God’s presence. Part 1

The Lord God of heaven is mighty. In his presence is fullness of joy and at his right hand are pleasures for evermore. You cannot experience God’s presence and be the same again. John the beloved beheld the glory of God and his life was not the same again.

Revelation 1:17 - "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last".

When John saw the Lord, everything carnal in him died. His life changed, his heart was transformed and the Holy Spirit was in total control of his life. It was after this experience that he wrote the epistle and the gospel of John.

It is a good thing to desire the Lord and be conscious of his presence. In his presence is the knowledge of him and everything that we need for life and godliness. We become partakers of his divine nature the more we encounter him and this makes us godlier.

2 Peter 1: 2-4 - "Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust".

The power to live a godly life is obtained in God’s presence. The bible talked about a certain man who had an infirmity for 38 years. Jesus healed him but then he did not recognise Jesus and he did not make any effort to find out about the person that showed him this great compassion until the Jews started questioning him.

John 5:8-14 - Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.” Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

Jesus told this man to go and sin no more. The power to sin no more however lies in the presence of God. Jesus had to warn this man seriously about going back into sin because he failed to seek Jesus who has the power to make him live a godly life.

I heard that about 90% of those who are healed in healing services ultimately lose their healing. This I believe happened because they did not continue to seek God. When the enemy came back they did not have the power to resist him. Blind Bartimaeus followed Jesus after he was healed (Mark 10:52). The Gadarene demoniac’s heart reached out to Jesus after he was healed (Mark 5:18). Certain women followed Jesus after they were delivered of demons (Luke 8: 1-3). In the presence of God there is total freedom from sin, sickness, slavery, poverty, and religion.
