Month: September 2025

Today I will share the first part of this revelation on faith which Jesus commanded His disciples to hear and heed which were inspired by the centurion who came requesting a healing for his servant from Jesus. This revelation should help you in your faith journey with the Lord and empower you to have greater faith to receive all the Lord has planned for your life.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants me to share some things in the life of Jesus which are not obvious but are pertinent to our spiritual enrichment and edification. If you study who and what Jesus did which I would encourage each of you to do. This is because a disciple needs to know what His teacher does in order for him to be able to copy and imitate Him correctly and appropriately as a perfectly trained Protege.

In Matthew.8:5-13 we read the story of the Centurion who approaches Jesus for healing for his servant.  We find that the response of Jesus to this man is startling because Jesus uses this event to teach His disciples some lessons in faith which explain deep insight into intimate faith relationship with God which are priceless.

Let us dive into some of the lessons that Jesus allowed this Centurion who spoke to impact the lives of His disciples. Now let me preface this by pointing out that Jesus was very particular about what His disciples listened to and always checked out Himself what doctrines or thoughts and ideas His disciples allowed into their lives. It was Jesus who taught them to take heed to what they hear and how they hear it and confronted the Pharisees about what they were telling his disciples.

This was because Jesus knew what listening to false things could do to affect the trust in the heart of a believer and wanted to protect them from deception in any and every form. So if Jesus is willing to let what a stranger speak to His disciples a priority to hear then we need to pay very close attention to those words because that word must be priceless and worth much for our use in the Kingdom operation on earth.

Firstly in Matthew.8:8 & 9 it reads these words: The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

The Centurion reveals in his statement that he understands the structure of a kingdom and knows that when orders are given by the highest authority in this case Jesus they are obeyed without question. The word of the King is final and not to be questioned as to whether I should or should not obey it. 

What the King wants happens once He has spoken it and non compliance to His will is not an option. It is settled no matter what you think or feel or believe. Once spoken it is a command that must be fulfilled. This man is convinced that any word Jesus speaks over his servant will bring healing to him instantly.

This is because the centurion had heard story after story of how Jesus had healed various people of all types of sickness and disease. He was convinced therefore that since Jesus could heal all types of diseases He was an authority on healing as it did not matter how long or how the sickness was caused Jesus had the answer which resulted in healing.

Jesus’ response in verse 10-12 says it all: When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Have you ever done anything in your response to Jesus that has caused Him to marvel and commend you? So listen carefully to these words because they got the attention of Jesus and what Jesus goes on to say shows us just how important this truth is in the operation of the Kingdom.

We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God: truth so Jesus says this man who is not privy to the covenant promises of God shared in the Jewish community from which you could hear about the Kingdom. Jesus points out that this Centurion has more faith and understanding of the Kingdom than any person who is hearing the truth daily or weekly in the church where all the record of truth is available to be studied and understood then accepted without question.

The Holy Spirit wants me this morning to continue the revelation from Hebrews.10:36 which deals with the next aspect of endurance. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. We looked at the confidence we need and what that means to us and for us in our relationship with the Lord.

Coupled with that we need to also have built into us endurance or steadfastness which is part of the nature and characteristic of the Holy Spirit. When the Lord says you have need of something it is imperative that you seek to understand what it is you need and get it because without it you will be missing something that can cost you much loss though you have already done much. The Lord wants us complete, lacking nothing that is necessary for our life and godliness.

So you ask why do I need endurance when I already have the necessary confidence in God’s ability. Good question and the Holy Spirit wants you to have this mind because it will see you through everything. As long as you live on earth everything will be contested including your faith and trust in God because the enemy is around to remind you that he will not let the will of the Lord happen for you because he wants you to believe he is in control of situations on earth and can change circumstances at will. Psalm.2.

I found that the Lord is not bothered with the fact that His will can be contested or challenged, but that in fact He uses the contesting of His will to prove just how powerful and great He God actually is and this builds endurance within us which means we never quit as we always have an answer for any obstacle that rises against us.

Let me now share what Hebrews.10:36 says: endurance is needed after you have done the will of God and are in the process of waiting for the manifestation of the promise.

You have done what God requires you to do and have followed through to the point where you are now awaiting the reality of the blessing from the Lord. At this stage is when you need the endurance, strength, fortitude, steadfastness of heart necessary to go further by refusing to quit on the promise. “However you must lay hold of the promise with unwavering audacity that what God said you will have.”

It is as Paul mentioned in Galatians.6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. “The reality of that scripture is that if we grow weary and lose heart we miss out on what we have sowed for.” “We cannot afford to miss out on a harvest because we have not built endurance which will carry us all the way through to manifestation. Having put in all that work in believing and standing we can lose out on the promise because we grow weary and faint.”

When I realized we can lose out by not taking decisive action that makes us do what is necessary. I made the quality decision that this will not happen to me on my watch. I will build the endurance necessary to carry me through to the finish line and have the reality of the promise of my reward.

“The Holy Spirit wants us to be resilient and steadfast just as He the Lord is.”

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Not the passive love of the Lord because that would fail and God doesn’t fail. If the Lord was not steadfast most of us would never make it, but His steadfast love breaks all boundaries by reaching us. He pulls us out on time so it is necessary that we also are filled with that same steadfastness so that nothing wears us out but faithfulness wins the day in our lives.

“Therefore in conclusion to the matter this morning after endurance has worked out in and through us, then comes the promise.”

“In other words, no endurance, no receiving of the promise as endurance is the foundation upon which the promise will rest in your life, so that is why you will need it.”

It is a must for the disciple of Jesus to win and keep on winning in life. I learnt to always say the race of God is not a 100 meter dash but a long run which entails bumps and corners which demand resilience. The readiness to overcome obstacles while still keeping faithful by going on so be ready.

As the apostle Paul puts it in Ephesians.6:13 & 14 after having done all to stand still, stand ready until you win. Don’t buckle under pressure but use pressure as the fuel to propel you forward to inherit the promise.

As you hear these truths today let grace be supplied to you by the Holy Spirit to lay hold of the endurance necessary to carry you through to receive the promise and live it out in exuberant joy .

Say no to giving up. Quitting is not an option so fix your gaze firmly on going forward to receiving your prize without reservation or apology. Your life story will be all the greater and mightier in God with the miraculous power of the Most High being your witness of notable proof in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit asked me this morning in my communion time with Him saying:  Do I want to ride with Him further where He is in His vehicle of glory or remain in the place of just enough in life? Do I want to be saturated with the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory? You can imagine my joy bursting forth at the thought of experiencing this new level of glory.

I know you will be asking me so where have you been riding because you always speak of communion with the Holy Spirit? I have been riding daily with the direction and wonderful guidance of the Holy Spirit but He wants us to be completely overtaken and overrun by His awesome Presence. It is His will for us to constantly produce a greater daily outpouring of the Anointing of the Holy Spirit that changes Nations in a day. Our lives should be making righteousness the desire of the hearts of men again.

In Isaiah.58:13 & 14 it speaks of riding with the Lord on the heights of the earth: “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Let us journey with the Holy Spirit on this level place that He controls and directs so that we can partake of everything He says we can have by experiencing the fullness of God. The Sabbath or the day of rest is very important to God. In fact the Lord speaks clearly of how He values the sabbath in Genesis.2:1-3 which reads these words: 

Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

It is amazing to realize that the Lord starts His relationship with man from the seventh day which is when He rested and has called us to enter that rest with Him. Hebrews.4:9 & 10.

Man was not involved in the work of the creation process till the seventh day. The Lord created us to enter His rest where all things were created to work for us, the Lord having all things working perfectly for us to tend for Him.

From the Holy Spirit’s perspective I came to understand that the sabbath is a time of delighting ourselves in the Lord completely by giving Him our undivided attention. Now the thing I love so much about the Lord is that He spells things out clearly for us as to what He wants and requires us to do. He also ensures us of the reward we will get for us obeying His commands.

Let us look again at what the Lord requests we do in Isaiah.58:13 & 14: Stop doing what pleases you on My day. Then start calling doing the Lord wholeheartedly your delight, and the holy day of the Lord honorable by not doing your own ways,  that is the thoughts, opinions you take and then carry out that become a way for you that always leads to death. Cease from relying on your own ability.

Stop finding your own pleasure, stop speaking your own words. Your words are not Spirit and life as Jesus pointed out in John.6:63.

So stop speaking them by only speaking thus says the Lord and watch the difference in your results. God’s words in your mouth produces life which changes circumstances. When this happens when you are delighting in the Lord,  not just calling the sabbath a delight this is when you will start riding where God rides on the heights and high places of the earth. This is the place where you begin to influence what happens in nations and determine the results that happen in people’s lives.

When you find this place in God with the Holy Spirit you begin walking and riding where God rides in His chariots of fire executing Divine control over of all situations and affairs in life. This is the place of supreme glory that the Holy Spirit wants all disciples of Jesus to walk in: The place where all authority that Jesus has over everything in heaven and on earth is in operation. 

In Hebrews.4:9-11 we are told these words: There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 

I came to see by revelation from the Holy Spirit that even the apostle John in the book of revelation got those mighty words on the Lord’s day which is the sabbath where He was alone , by himself with no distractions but in a position where he could focus completely on the Lord. Just look at his results from receiving the revelation of Jesus in glory. 

Finding the place of rest in what God has done which is already completed is the greatest place we can walk in because we are on a heavenly roll riding with Jesus and the Father where there is no failure as long as we remain riding there.

I pray that as you have heard these words of truth the grace to walk in them will be supplied to you to empower you to take the action to sabbath delight with the Lord. As you come into the place where you ride with the Lord in His place of glory  as you experience life from His perspective while riding in His vehicle. 

The Lord hides you in the secret place of His Pavillion from the strife of tongues and the secret place of His Presence from the plots of men. The place Jesus walked in on earth that meant men could not harm or touch Him.

May you be enriched by the potency of these truths that propels you into the magnificence of His glory that will radiate through you as you bring full glory to His magnificent Name by you bearing much fruit that remains in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to know that He is not relying on you to do or be anything for God, but rather for you to depend completely upon Him to empower you to be what God created you to be. The Holy Spirit wants you to look to Him for the boldness you need to be effective for the Kingdom. Even if you believe you are eloquent, your eloquence will not be enough to manifest the Kingdom. 2 Corinthians.2:1-5.

You will need more than eloquence of speech to defeat the works of the devil. In the book of Acts.4:29 it reads Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

After a savage attack of the devil to force the Apostles to stop speaking in the name of Jesus completely. We see them pray a prayer that must be our daily cry before the Lord. “This is because we need to be able to speak with all the boldness that flows from the Holy Spirit to us the word of the Lord effectively.”

I recall the season where I had been teaching some Christian brethren over a period of time. During this time one of the disciples came up to me and said my teaching was becoming bolder and bringing much conviction in their hearts. It was as if my sharing was moving their hearts to make changes as the word I spoke with the Holy Spirit’s boldness was moving them to take action to repent of so many things as they heard the word to relinquish things they had never felt convicted before to change.

“It is one thing to speak the word with your own voice but a completely different matter when you speak that same word by the anointing of the Holy Spirit which will produce life in the darkest and most death-filled environment.” Just look at the change in impact Jesus had from Luke.4:14 & 15 once He started teaching under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

“Words spoken by the Holy Spirit will always radiate light and bring forth life into any darkness and change chaos and bring order. ”In Matthew.4:16 & 17 gives a clear picture of what speaking in the boldness of the Holy Spirit results in.

Look again at the request of the Apostles in Acts.4:29 and watch for the Answer the Holy Spirit gives through the manifestation of boldness because this is what we need to be looking for in our lives daily. Grant that your servants may speak your word with all boldness. Not with some boldness or in timidity or trepidation but in all boldness with no boldness left out.

“We should not speak for the Lord coming short in any boldness that the Holy Spirit has, but loaded with all the boldness that He possesses and carries which will bring answers of great magnitude.”

“The boldness of speech has direct correlation to the stretching out of the hand of God to heal and then the production of signs and wonders to be done through the hand of the Holy Spirit for the glory of the name of Jesus.”

Without the boldness of speech flowing from the Holy Spirit through us we will not see the miraculous power of God made manifest to heal, deliver and bring freedom. “It is imperative that we request from the Lord through the Holy Spirit for the boldness to speak the word and then we will see the manifestation of the hand of the Lord.” It is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. Zechariah.4:6.

“Our shouting will not cut through the enemy but being loaded with the boldness of the Holy Spirit will break through any and every obstacle.”

Let’s look at the results from this prayer for boldness. Acts.4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Most times in church the people do all the shaking and activity but here we see the Holy Spirit shaking the place and boldness overtaking the people and the results are stunning as the word is spoken boldly. Acts.4:32-37

Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Firstly the agreement we see in the disciples is awesome and divinely inspired. We have not seen that level of union in our day where we have every soul present in church having the same heart and soul. Then of their free will relinquishing their ownership of possessions for the common good of all.

The Apostles manifest the tangible presence of the resurrection power of Jesus that people see as grace is imparted to people which removes poverty. All lack in the life of every believer is healed as resources from owners of lands and property were sold to remove the burden of lack on their brothers and sisters as everybody’s needs were met. Life changed in a minute and all disciples’ financial problems were sorted out to such a degree that no one was in any lack any longer, while others boasted of their wealth and how good God was to only them. There was corporate deliverance.

“I pray we see that level of anointing in our day as the Holy Spirit is permitted by us to do such marvels as we boldly declare the word of God. Thus letting the Hand of the Lord manifest as it did then in their midst.”

I pray that as you hear these words today the Holy Spirit will ignite in you a burning passion emanating from the fire of the Holy Spirit to pursue after this grace which will bring an awakening to the God of boldness that speaks as God. Then goes on to manifest Him in such diverse dimensions of the miraculous that all have to say the Lord has visited us. We are now living in the days of the Lord in full manifestation. May you be found passionately pursuing this reality of the Holy Spirit on this day in Jesus name. Amen.
