Month: September 2025 (Page 2 of 3)

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him reminded me of the two primary goals of my life and existence. In Proverbs.3:21 from the Passion translation it reads these beautiful words: My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover your purpose. Don’t ever forget how they empower you. The Holy Spirit reminded me that to walk in wisdom is far more precious than to walk in billions of money and resources.

Jesus we are told in Luke.2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Jesus the word of God Himself made manifest needed to increase in wisdom which points to the fact that He had to seek it out by posturing Himself to ask it of God with a sincere and willing heart and go for it. “Wisdom must be pursued by the individual who wants it.” “It is not just downloaded automatically.”

“Every increased wisdom I have walked in has come after a hard pursuit for God and what He wants.”

The fact that His wisdom increased points us to the reality that gaining wisdom is an ongoing process which we need to engage with to lay hold of all its benefits. The increase in His wisdom also increased His stature as a man of God in His rightful standing and place on the earth as a major force to be reckoned with.

The favor He had both with God and then men was taken to much higher levels as His wisdom increased and impacted society in far more profound and indelible ways which could not be denied by all who faced Him.

This principle of an increase in wisdom and the knowledge of God is reiterated by the Apostle Paul in Philippians.3:9-11 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The continual pursuit of knowing God is the major goal of the apostle Paul not the amount of souls he won, the bodies he healed, this is so that Paul’s life would reflect Jesus His Master and not Paul and his ambition as a nation shaker .

Jesus goes on to emphasize this truth again in the book of Revelation when He speaks to John about the Church in Ephesus. Revelation.2:4 & 5 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. Jesus commends them for all the works they are doing but warns them about their pursuit and love of Him diminishing.

Jesus describes it as fallen away from what truly matters and makes clear coming back to that posture and seeking closeness to Him and the wisdom of God the priority not the side issue or they will be removed from the position of light.

We must always remember that Jesus called us first to follow Him not ministry or position but Him and from that position He would make us fishers of men. ”We are not fishers of men without continuing to follow Jesus diligently.” “Our first love, devotion and dedication must be to follow Him to know and understand Him more by being what He wants us to be, not what men want us to do and be for them.”

This must be the primary goal for our lives not how many we reach or save for Jesus but to know Him and have His wisdom being the driving force behind our lives because that will keep us firmly rooted in Him, His nature and Character not the building of our own empires for men to see and glorify us for having built.

“Our pursuit for wisdom and purpose are two goals from which we should never drift because they are the bedrock on which our lives in God are framed.”

Any deviation from that path, for personal goal achieving and following will result in losses of the whole plan of God for our lives and end us up shipwrecked from God’s intention for us unless we can repent.

The Holy Spirit always warns us of impending dangers and paths and places we are walking that are dangerous and seeks to give us a way out to come back into position and line with God’s prescribed way forward.

I pray that as these words touch your heart and awaken your righteous soul back to the place of seeking first the wisdom of the Kingdom which is Jesus and His righteousness then all the other things you need will be added to you.

Don’t seek the other things first, seek a closer union and fellowship with the Holy Spirit to increase your wisdom and you will go much further with deeper insight into what the Lord has assigned for you to do.

May you find the grace of God in these words that will propel you to take action on these words to repent and turn back to having a passionate pursuit of the wisdom of God for your lives. As the apostle Paul prayed emphatically in Ephesians.1 and Colossians.1 for the Spirit of wisdom to direct and determine how we walk out the plan of God for our lives, and not through our ability or gifting.

May the grace supplied by the Holy Spirit today empower you for a much greater and higher service of increased wisdom of God as the purpose of God drives you into the rich fulfilment of God’s ultimate plan for your life in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants me to share with you a secret about the importance of your heart not being troubled or disturbed regardless of what you face or encounter in your life experience. This is because whatever stand your heart takes will determine the course you follow and the final outcome in any given situation.

This morning the Holy Spirit wants me to share from John.14:1-4 which reads: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house there are many mansions; if it were not so, ]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Firstly we see here that Jesus points out that we have control over our hearts actions and reactions. Jesus points out clearly that we must not allow our hearts to be troubled which means our hearts cannot just be troubled arbitrarily. We have to make a choice on how our heart responds to any given situation. So if your heart is troubled you allowed the wrong influence to have the effect of troubling you.

Jesus from this word expects us not to permit our hearts to be troubled because it is likely that we will make rash decisions that will cost us much from a troubled, concerned, worried heart. “This truth is vital to our very existence because nothing can make your heart react except you allow it in your heart.”

“You are the person responsible for how your heart responds to situations that arise in life.”

The disciples of Jesus are about to experience something completely different in regard to their Master that they had never seen happen before. Jesus was going to surrender Himself to be killed by crucifixion which demonstrated a defeat in the natural.

From the time they started following Jesus they had never seen Him defeated in any situation or arrested before so this was going to trouble their hearts because He was going to die and leave them.

What was going to become of them because they had invested everything they had of their hearts and life to trust Him and follow His way of life. However now He was going to die and leave them orphaned.

Jesus was clearly pointing out to them before the event that though they did not understand what was happening, seemingly contrary to the plan of God they should not let this situation rob their hearts of peace.

This is because they should rely on His character and nature which they had experienced and known fully who they trusted and had given their hearts over to would remain faithful and would certainly come through for them even in a situation involving death because He had already said it to them. I will be raised on the third day.

“This heart stance is what the Holy Spirit expects us to have in every situation no matter what is happening because it clearly proves our complete dependence in heart on God and total reliance on what He has said.”

“The Lord wants us to trust Him with all our heart and not lean in anyway on our own understanding.”Proverbs.3:5 & 6.

This reality of our heart trust will always be tested by God so we know exactly what is in our hearts. Our life results will be dependent on how our hearts respond to situations which will rise up against the knowledge of God. Whether we are troubled in heart and fall to our lower self or refuse to be moved in heart by still believing will determine our outcome of victory or defeat.

In life you will face situations that will speak contrary to God’s plan for your life however you have the control as to how your heart chooses to respond in that situation. The Holy Spirit wants you to realize that you need not allow your heart to be troubled but to rest in the infallible and immutable will of God which will never lie with you coming out victorious and triumphant with another demonstration of the awesomeness of God’s power working on your behalf.

So today as you hear these words concerning your heart choice submit to the grace that enables you to say I trust. Then refuse on purpose to let your heart be troubled by boldly declaring I am coming out triumphant because my heart trusts implicitly in the Lord. That is my choice and faith stand come high water, low water or no water at all. “My heart chooses not to be troubled.”

“ This truth will keep you in a place of stability of heart in the Lord which is necessary to win in life. Then remember the words of Mary to the servant at the wedding feast in Canaan: whatever Jesus says to do just do it and all will be well no matter what.”John.2:5.

So remove every troubling thing in your heart and rest your heart fully on the knowledge of God who says worry not and see how life circumstances shift for you as you regain your position in life again in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me to share further on our need to trust more what He says for our lives more than the things Men’s experts say. In my communion time with the Holy Spirit I am only able to share part of the whole picture of what He shares with me that is pertinent to what you would need to strengthen and equip you each day. This is to give you the impetus to take action to start moving in the things of the Kingdom of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit wants you to start bearing the fruit that Jesus pointed out we should have. In John.15:8 we are told these words by Jesus: By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. From these words we understand that Jesus expects that a disciple of His should be a fruit bearer.

“It is not enough to be only a word hearer of Jesus because following Jesus is worthy of bearing fruit and we have that responsibility to bring forth fruit worthy of the Lord.”

The father is glorified when we bear much fruit. The things of the Kingdom and service to Jesus are not abstract; they are real and are measured by bearing fruit. Jesus told every disciple that He chose to follow Him that He will make them fishers of men.

As a follower of Jesus you will have noticed that everything Jesus asks us to do has a reward attached to it. He did not say follow Me and you will become a better person, more upright and that will be sufficient. Jesus’s intention is that we will be able to catch men for the Kingdom.

Your nature and character when following Jesus will change dramatically because you will become a worker of righteousness because He is righteous and hates lawlessness. Hebrews.1:9.However the end result is that you will bring fruit into the Kingdom. Jesus works on our character and nature so that our spirits are connected to Him and not human nature or that of the devil.

The Holy Spirit sets us apart for service to Jesus and this involves separation from many things and people. 1 Peter.1:2.The Holy Spirit first works at separating us from the things that hold us bound and captive which includes family. The ways in which we were trained to think and do things which will always be an obstacle to obeying the Lord. 1 Peter.1:18. This is because the ways of the Lord are completely different from our ways. We must forsake our old ways of thinking in order to take hold of God’s way of thinking and doing things in order to become a fruit bearer. Isaiah.55:7-9.

I remember when I got saved in 1989 and had a burning passion for spending time in the bible. I loved studying the word to get to know and understand what God was requiring of me as a person to serve Him. As I grew in my knowledge of the word people constantly told me: Do you know that you are a teacher of the scripture? Christians always sought to give me titles.

However the Holy Spirit comforted me by telling me that I was only a follower of Jesus which meant I would have in my life all that was needed to follow Him fully. This was opposed to what Christians said I was and what in their opinion I could have which would limit my service to Jesus and make me a man pleaser.

“We are called to follow Jesus first and foremost. This process of following Him never comes to an end.”

“We never reach a point where we become Master and take over Jesus by becoming leader. That is a dangerous place to be when we begin to lead ourselves and cut out the voice of the Holy Spirit.”

This scripture in 1Peter.1:2 which reads: elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. The pursuit of sanctification of the Spirit became my goal as the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that regardless of my election by foreknowledge of God if the sanctification of the Holy Spirit did not happen in me I would be disqualified and have nothing but words that I am elected, but no fruit of that election in my life.

“I realized that the process of sanctification which simply means being separated from and set apart to Holiness in God did not happen on a continuous basis I would miss out.”

This process of sanctification went on to separate me from my family and everything I held dear which was of value in worldly terms. The Holy Spirit worked with me to set me apart to a new way of thinking, processing and doing things according to God’s pattern. Believe me they are completely different. However God’s ways which are truth always bring freedom which remains and much fruit in life as a reward.

In following the Lord everything I needed for life and Godliness was supplied to me and not just gifts of the Spirit which are only necessary for individual situations like healing. The greatest reward was to have the Holy Spirit’s friendship and union, which means I could have His ability available every time no matter what is required because He is the Owner of everything God has and has the mandate to manifest them at any time to glorify Jesus.

“We are trees of righteousness so we must bear fruits of righteousness, not gifts of power that produce lawlessness.” We are the planting of the Lord so He is glorified. Isaiah.61:3b.

“Well that is the job of the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus alone and bring Him the fruit worthy of His name through our lives being surrendered to Him.”John.16:14.

“A final warning: don’t let people label you no matter what God does through your life because that label will become your limitation and point of regression.”

When I first visited America to minister I was called a healing Evangelist because healings happened in my meetings, then the Holy Spirit started prophesying through me and they called me Prophet, the Holy Spirit started working deliverance through me and they called me a deliverance minister.

When the Holy Spirit started working miracles through me they called me a miracle worker. I thank God that the Holy Spirit said to me don’t take anything they say you are but just follow Me by letting Me have My way in your life and whatever is necessary for peoples lives I will provide while you will continue to grow in the Lord through the power of His might.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will enable you to rise above the situations you are finding it difficult to separate from by making the necessary separation.

May you be free to walk with the Holy Spirit so you will experience such freedom that you will ask yourself why I did not do this earlier because I could have saved myself so much pain and sorrow staying with what held me captive.

Let your life be set apart to what the Holy Spirit wants for you which is a fruitful life which is what following His voice will bring you to. “

The Holy Spirit will truly make you fruitful for Jesus because that is His responsibility and He never fails in His faithfulness to do His work.” Rise up today and separate from what is killing you and be set apart to what will lift and elevate you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to recollect to mind every word that He has spoken concerning your life that has not come to pass as yet. He wants you to begin the process of again bringing to the forefront of your mind things that have eluded you and things you are certain in your mind will not happen for you again which you have placed firmly on the back burner of your life. Before I continue let me remind you of the Person of the Holy Spirit that is requesting you to make this shift in your thinking.

In John.14:25 & 26 we read these words “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Jesus was conscious of the fact that as time passes by we would forget many of the things God spoke to us because they never came to pass or we just forget them as various incidents in life happened to question their validity in our lives or satan does things in our circumstances that makes their reality look impossible.

Whichever of these causes us to lose consciousness of what the Lord has spoken, be assured the Holy Spirit never forgets what Jesus promised us. He will supernaturally bring it back to our remembrance when the time for manifestation comes round and believe me it will surely come with the necessary help to position us to receive it.

In the prophecy that God gives to Zechariah in Zechariah.4:1 & 2 which reads: Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” He had gone to sleep about what the Lord had said concerning him and he literally forgot it.

The Lord brought it back to mind so that His word could come to pass in this life by reviving it in him afresh as a person awakened from sleep. This also goes on to happen for Zerubbabel who began the process of rebuilding the Temple which had ceased due to a satanic attack which prevented him working on it for a time. However, though this word of prophecy he was going to be stirred up again to go to the Temple site to finish that work he started with shouts of grace, grace to it.

In the process of rebuilding the necessary wisdom, ability and strength was added to empower them to finish the God plan. Let’s look at Zechariah.4:5-10 and see how the Holy Spirit provides a new way to complete what had started but now left uncompleted. Just look at the words He spoke to Zerubbabel to stir him to action.

In Zechariah.4:6 & 7 we read these words: So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”

This same Person of the Holy Spirit who worked with Zerubbabel to bring down mountains to accomplish the will of God with divine ability to complete a work that had been stopped by force.

Zerubbabel now has the fortitude and supernatural ability to get back to action through the Holy Spirit bringing to remembrance the plan of God with a might and power which cannot be stopped. This is because the word of the Lord remains eternally and cannot be thwarted, stopped or hindered. 1 John.2:17.

Well today it is the same Holy Spirit saying to me to you today to awaken from your sleep over the words He has spoken over you in the past to posture yourself in word and deed to see the manifestation of the word of the Lord in your life.

Let the words of the Lord be revived in your hearts as new sparks of grace that drive through to accomplishment and fulfilment of God’s plan become the pattern of life for you. Let this abundant grace overtake you so that just as Zerubbabel experienced mountain moving ability to overcome every obstacle to finish the Temple he had started.

In like manner you will find that level of grace and more to bring you through to the finish line of the words God spoke over your life so that the name of Jesus will be glorified in your life just as He said it will.

I pray that the grace of the Lord you experience in this miraculous working will remain as the standard and turning point in your life that you will always be able to look back to as you laugh at any new challenge that seeks to threaten you again, because you are fully persuaded about the outstanding ability of God working in your life in Jesus name to conclude the work He started in you. Amen.

The Holy Spirit said to ask you why would you trust the word of a human expert and do as he requests and follow his instructions to the letter because he has studied a subject and claims he knows it? Why ask questions concerning the integrity of the Holy Spirit who possess all wisdom and truth rather than just obey His voice?

Well the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what you consider to determine who you trust, rely and depend upon concerning your life? Whose counsel will you let determine your future? Jesus taught us to consider the important factors in life that are constant and from them determine the stand we will take concerning who we trust.

In Luke.12:24 it reads these words:  Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?  Jesus here wants us to take note, consider carefully the principle at work with God and ravens that should help us with our trust of God. The ravens do not have the privilege of being able to sow and reap so they cannot ensure their food production.

They are also limited in that they lack the ability to build storehouses or barns to store the extra produce from a bumper harvest which they can use when times are difficult. However God still feeds them though they lack the ability to plan ahead to secure a way of providing daily food for themselves.

Jesus then asks the question which we all need to answer of how much more value is the human to God than a raven. The angels ask what is man that You Lord are mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him and crown him with glory and honor.

How do you value yourself because that will determine how much you will be able to receive from the Lord versus how reliant you are on what man will do for you. Jesus gave up His position in glory to come and die for our sins and become our atonement so that we could again reign in life. Jesus did not do that for any raven though, but because He created them and gave them life He ensured they would be provided for.

I have personally watched my neighbours come out daily at fixed times to put food out for the ravens as a duty. I am fully aware that those same people will never do that for a fellow human being.I have watched this principle of Jesus at work around me and have learnt lessons of human behaviour from it to minister food to the ravens.

Now, certainly what is of value God will provide for and because God needs man on earth to do His will and execute His plan He will certainly ensure that he is adequately provided for by being looked after comfortably. Jesus always taught His disciples not to worry about their provision of food because that would interfere with their trust in Him as their supply.  Jesus never wanted them having that conflict in their hearts because it would keep them double-minded causing them to be unstable in heart. For this reason they would be unable to receive any benefits from the Lord in that state of uncertainty.

Jesus demands complete and absolute trust from us in His ability to do what He has said. My covenant will I not break nor alter the word that comes out of My mouth. Psalm.89:34.

Now look at what Jesus after asking us to consider this matter says should be our conclusion Verses 29-32   “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

This is the place we need to be walking with God in complete trust in His ability to do what He said. No anxiety at all concerning provision and no worry either but complete trust and dependence on His ability knowing it is His nature to provide for those He chose. These are the things the people in the world spend all their time seeking after and working for. However the Lord who created us knows that on earth we need them to live.

Pursue the Kingdom diligently Jesus insists with all your heart and everything you need will be supplied to you. The reality being that it pleases God to give you the full supply from the Kingdom which has everything you could ever possibly need.

Now permit these truths you have just read through to take charge over your hearts.Then repent for allowing doubt to push you from truth to believe a lie that God doesn’t care about your provision and that you have to make that your priority in life.

It is a new season for you to allow the grace of the Holy Spirit empower you to see things as Jesus wants you to.Then recover yourself from the position of stupor the enemy set against you by correctly considering things from the perspective of Jesus. You need to know what your first priorities are. 

Then diligently go after the Kingdom of Jesus with all your heart and experience everything that has already been apportioned to you by the Lord. Let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth and free you from the lies of the enemy so you can walk in the place the Lord ordained for you of victory and triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me this morning about walking in the anointing that heals the broken hearted in my communion time. He pointed out to me that what we understand of a heart being broken is completely different from what the Lord means when He says I heal your broken heart. Relief from the pain of a difficult situation or circumstance is not the healing of the heart and physical healing is also not a healing of the heart but the healing of the physical part of the body being restored. Isaiah.61:1.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that one can receive a physical healing of many years of pain and shame yet that in itself does not heal your heart. An example of that we can look at is the woman with the issue of blood in Matthew.9:22 which reads these words: But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

In this event we notice that when the woman with the issue of blood touches Jesus she is instantly healed of the issue of blood, but Jesus for some important reason wants her to come forward. Jesus wants her to testify about what happened for her and then speaks words to her that heal her broken heart because she had already received the healing when she touched His garment.

Be comforted Jesus emphatically points out to her and we are told she was then made whole. Her inner heart was released from what had broken it in pieces when Jesus spoke the word of comfort to her to be made whole.

This healing of the broken heart is what the Holy Spirit wants to deal with in our lives because if our hearts are not truly healed we will never be able to fulfill the will of God for our lives. This is because God needs to work with our hearts to accomplish anything with us on earth.

This is why obedience to Proverbs.4:23 is so vital in our lives: Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Our hearts will determine what we experience in life so our hearts need to be healed completely for us to engage fully with the Lord for us to see His fullness revealed in us. We need to watch carefully for what our hearts receive and respond to.

In Jeremiah.17:9 &10 we read these words: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

This scripture clearly points out why it is so necessary for the Lord through the Holy Spirit to heal our broken hearts because our heart loves deception, deceit and lies. For that reason our hearts do not comprehend when true inner heart healing has been accomplished by the deliverance from the Lord. This is because the human heart prefers the lie that the present lust or desire being fulfilled has healed our hearts’ present pain because of the present pleasure we are experiencing.

Since we cannot by ourselves can never know the condition of our hearts. It is only the Lord who can search the state of our heart. We must be more reliant on the Holy Spirit to diagnose the true state of our hearts. Then allow His process of revelation, healing and comfort be the true standard of measurement that our hearts have been truly healed so we can live for Him. John.13:36-38.

In Isaiah.61:2 & 3 we see the Lord explain further the process of healing for the broken heart which He points out clearly what must happen for that to be accomplished. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,3 To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

The acceptable year of the Lord is the Jubilee year when all debts and outstanding issues are resolved and we are totally released from all obligations. However, notice that after that process is achieved. God exercises His prerogative of Vengeance which is the Lord’s and the Lord will repay which Jesus pointed out in Luke.18 that we must seek Him for because after it comes the comfort to the heart that mourned and was shattered because of loss.

These losses are restored back as comfort and consolation are received back in the heart of those in Zion. When Zion is mentioned here it refers to those who trust in the Lord who are like mount Zion which cannot be removed. In other words our hearts are steadfast, and immovable, not fickle and unstable. Psalm.125:1

This is where we see the hand of the Lord in full operation by turning ashes to beauty in the hearts of men. We then can behold what the Lord created bringing exceeding joy. In fact the oil of joy is poured out which outruns and overtakes mourning by birthing the garments of spontaneous praise for what the Lord has done. The final process being that the heart of the Lord is fully planted in us as trees of righteousness that glorifies the Lord in and through our now healed hearts.

I encourage you as you ponder and meditate on this revelation of truth today, to be willing to examine your own heart by coming into the wilderness (the place to prepare the heart to walk in God’s way). So you can truly find out what is in your heart to be set free and be healed so you can serve the Lord as He desires you to without fear. Isaiah.40:3-5.

Let the grace flowing from these words open your heart to the truth so you can turn and be truly healed in your heart from past trauma, pain and hurts that have controlled your heart decisions and robbed you of the blessings God wants to move you into.

However because your unhealed heart keeps tripping you up thus preventing you from moving forward. The Holy Spirit wants our hearts free and completely healed so they can fully serve the Lord and His purpose on earth.

May you today open your heart to fully experience the healing of all brokenness of heart no matter how it happened. Then find the comfort and consolation of the Holy Spirit that removes the sting from your life and conscience thus making you completely whole. Then walk triumphantly as brand new in heart and purpose that God can fully use to express His nature and character through in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I share the conclusion of the revelation of faith which Jesus allowed the Centurion to share with His disciples as it explained the way the Kingdom of Jesus operates and how we as His followers can ensure we always get what we ask from the Lord because we know His position of authority and are absolutely confident of His word always coming to pass in our lives. May the Holy Spirit open your hearts to the reality of this word so you can arrive at the place where none of the blessings of the Kingdom of Jesus will elude again in Jesus name.

The church people always questioned the validity of Jesus and where He came from though every word in their law and Prophets pointed to Him as their Messiah. They did not accept His word which the centurion had just done.

They did not accept the fact that the word of the King was final. Therefore though the Presence of the Lord was present to heal them they received nothing because they rejected His word which is the truth.

This next part that Jesus goes on to speak about is what each of us who are Kingdom people (followers and lovers of Jesus) need to make sure we do not fall into that category of those who hear what the King says but have our own opinions on His ways and methods. We feel we know better and are more discerning than the Holy Spirit. John.1:11 & 12.

We then find ourselves missing out on walking in the Kingdom ways because we no longer submit to the authority of the king Jesus but our reading of what we believe the King is saying.

Thus miss out on what is happening spiritually and find ourselves experiencing darkness then falling under the sway of the devil. This is what happens because they start living in defeat and start blaming their failure on Jesus rather than on their drifting away from truth.

I have seen this situation happen often in the Kingdom when new believers come to accept Jesus’ words as the final commands to obey. They immediately experience the Kingdom operating in their daily lives.

Then long time believers who have become jaded in their faith seek to hurt them by criticizing them because they are jealous of their swift progress and resent that it makes them look powerless and insignificant. This situation happened with the Apostle Paul as he grew spiritually. Galatians.1:21-24.

They then become the accusers of the new brethren working to divide and subdue the Kingdom advancement because they are no longer subject to the words of the King Jesus as final.

The Holy Spirit wanted me to share these facts with you because you are facing this situation at present and are wondering why this is happening.

It is happening and will continue to happen but we must respond as the Holy Spirit dictates and make sure we are only obeying the dictates of King Jesus and speaking what thus saith the Lord and having the commensurate results of obedience to His words. As Jesus said to the centurion in response in verse 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Look at those words of instruction not I send healing to him but as you have believed is possible with my name and authority it is done for you. What you believed and spoke has happened for you because you believe in the Authority Jesus has over sickness and know that authority cannot fail or be stopped no matter what. This is exactly the same advice Mary gave to the Servants at the wedding in Canaan: whatever He tells you to do just do. No questions. John.2:5.

Our continuous use of the process of speaking what Jesus has said and obeying His voice will mean we remain in connection with Him and that will enable us to remain constant in our operations of the Kingdom that means we have success.

We must be conscious of living according to the way the Kingdom operates which is by faith and seek to increase our faith not weaken in faith. Our pursuit is to walk in greater faith and in the faith that Jesus Himself walked in where nothing was impossible to Him.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will have reign over you and captivate your hearts to comply and be as bold as the Centurion was and see the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit reactivated in your life and walk with God so that King Jesus can be glorified through your demonstration of His Kingdom through signs, wonders and various miracles for men to see and get to want and know who this Jesus is so they can serve Him just as you do in Jesus name.

It is time to recover your life back to the place where you speak what Jesus says and it comes to pass for you as it did for the Centurion as it is your divine right as a child of God in Jesus name. Amen.

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.
