This morning the Holy Spirit spoke a word through me from Colossians.3 that came through clearly in my view and captivated my whole being. The Holy Spirit has many ways in which He conveys messages to us to get our attention on what really matters and ensures that we are keeping up with Him and not lagging back.

The Holy Spirit is such a perfect mentor who knows exactly what we need when we need it and more importantly has the power available to make what is needed available for us in an instant to manifest glory for our benefit.

Thank you Jesus for the indescribable gift of the Holy Spirit to be the support, help and aid we need to succeed in life. He makes us productive for the glory of Jesus.

Let us look at the scripture the Holy Spirit quickened to me from Colossians.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

You say well I know Christ dwells or lives in me so what is new and special about that? I will explain to you what the Holy Spirit wanted to further enlarge of the truth in me about the word of the Lord. We first of all see that we have the responsibility of giving permission to the word of Christ to dwell in us.

How we choose to see or interpret the word of the Lord and apply it to our lives will determine how it will impact us. Mark.4:24 & 25. You could say let the word of Christ dwell poorly in you in foolishness, complaining, and negative words.

That would just cause you harm and affect others negatively which will bring disrepute to Jesus’ name. Unfortunately we see so much of that in the lives of believers who refuse to engage faith in listening to the word. Hebrews.4:2.

It is our choice to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us by our diligence in confessing that word continually. Our meditating on it over and over again is necessary till it actually starts dwelling, living and breathing in and through us.

The Holy Spirit reminder is to awaken us back to increasing our confession and meditation on the word which gives Him more room and scope in us to perform the word of Christ in our lives. We need to deny ourselves daily, not just weekly or monthly. We need to purposely take up our cross ( by putting down our thoughts, opinions, experiences, failures) and follow Jesus. You cannot follow Jesus by leading Him and directing the path forward.

“How we respond to the word of Christ in us today will determine how much that word will live, work and abide in us for this day.”

“We need to allow the word of Christ to richly impact our lives. We need to receive it as rich and more valuable than our daily food and clothing needs. We must pursue it more faithfully than resources for ourselves.”

Remember that Jesus said we should take heed of how we hear the word, because the measure we use will be measured back to us, meaning that the value we place on it will determine how much it will benefit us. If we don’t allow it to influence our decisions daily it will not change things for us.

“We are the determiners of how much the word of Christ will benefit us.”Mark.4:24.

So if you are unhappy with your results then change the way you see and value the Word of Christ in your individual life. Repent then start to do what is necessary by your confession and meditation on the word to increase its potency and efficacy in you.

The Holy Spirit will not force the word of Christ on you, but He can guide you, lead you if you will, to the pertinent word to bring you through to triumph in any given situation. However if you will not follow Him, He will not make it happen for you without your consent, agreement and cooperation. You will receive what you expect and want from hearing it. Matthew.8:8.

I am conscious that the Holy Spirit was wanting me to up my confessions and meditation on the Word of Christ to me today. This is because there is a spiritual place of strength required for me to be able to overcome the attacks present to have maximum benefits of what the Lord wants to accomplish through me today.

This season requires the strength of the word of Christ richly dwelling, residing in me. This means there is no conflict with the Holy Spirit in the execution of the word working for me to accomplish the miraculous He planned and purposed for me to do for the glory of His name.

You know it does take courage to obey instructions the Holy Spirit requests us to do because they are above human ability.

The phrase God gave Joshua in his commission was to only be strong and courageous. Joshua.1:7. Well the Lord had already pointed out to Joshua previously that meditation day and night on His word would achieve that strength in Joshua. This action of meditation would enable him to observe what to do as the word of Christ took hold within him richly.

“This process of daily allowing or permitting the word of Christ to dwell, reside and abide in you richly will always determine what the Holy Spirit will be able to accomplish through you for Jesus on any occasion in life.”

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words and take them to heart, grace through them will propel you to richly value the worth of what Christ spoke beyond anything that you knew or understood before and make you a recipient of the non ending Might of the power of the Most High to work out extraordinary signs, wonders and miracles on your behalf to glorify Jesus and His name in your life.

I will deal with the other aspects of this word in future posts so the full benefit of the word of the Lord will be available to you. This will enable you to experience all of its supernatural workings of the Holy Spirit as a reality in your daily lives.

You will then be the recipient of all the richness the Holy Spirit wants and desires you to experience in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time which for me is a time of discovery and revelation of things I don’t know and ways to achieve and accomplish the plans of God for my life and live out a vibrant and productive fruitful life in Jesus.John.16:13.

I love and cherish this communion time with the Holy Spirit more than anything else in life because it is life and more abundant life for me. Just a single word from the Holy Spirit is able to change the most difficult situation in a second and make all things new.

The word from the Holy Spirit makes the impossible a reality as you stand and watch in awe as He makes it real right before your eyes. Thank you so much Holy Spirit for your faithful help and assistance to us that makes us fruitful and life giving on earth.

I will continue the dialogue I had with the Holy Spirit about Him bringing us to birth and then not being able to complete the process. I will show you why we should never entertain that thought in our minds and allow such poison to affect our relationship with the Lord.

This is because as I mentioned the Lord wanted you to share in this conversation so you could have a clear perspective of how He thinks and processes things. This results in us being able to follow Him more clearly without any confusion.

When the Lord spoke to Moses He said to him make sure you build according to the pattern that was shown you on the Mountain. Meaning that on the mountain what Moses saw was not ambiguous and riddle driven that Moses could not comprehend it. It was clear what God wanted.

God wants us to know exactly what He requires of us and He will even send the message again just so that we do not make a mistake in our interpretation of it. An example is the instruction He gave for Samson’s life. Judges.13:8-14.

The whole purpose of the Holy Spirit is to guide us into all truth which means nothing of the truth should be left out. John.16:13. The Holy Spirit wants us in a place where no lies are able to affect and harm us but where the whole truth is available to us so we can be free to serve the Lord fully.

The Holy Spirit wants us to know the events of the future so we can walk in the know and not in the dark about anything. The Lord pointed out in Amos.3:7 that before He does anything He first reveals it to His friends the Prophets and says before it springs up I reveal it so you know what to expect and can prepare correctly.

I remember times where the Lord showed me events about the Government of Sierra Leone on an everyday basis and all He said happened exactly as He revealed. He did the same thing with me about Botswana, the USA, Nigeria and even China. This involved changes in policy and administration in those nations that the Holy Spirit pointed out would change.

The Holy Spirit knows the events of the future and reveals them to us so we are not caught by surprise or off guard and destroyed in the process by the enemy.

There is no surveillance system comparable to the Holy Spirit who knows everything, but also has everything on hand to destroy, remove, change and replace whatever is necessary to bring it back in line with His purpose and plan so that Jesus is glorified. 2 Kings.7:1-20.

As it says the Lord raised Pharaoh with such power so that He could show how much greater He God was when He defeated him so that men would know just how great the Lord is by seeing what He could accomplish against a mighty foe.

“Know this truth and never forget it. The Holy Spirit is here to give us the advantage of knowing events of the future ahead of time so we are not swept away in the foolishness of men and can make changes to be free in the midst of the worst possible situations in life.”John.16:7.

I have heard men of God say that we will always have a judas to deal with in ministry and the Holy Spirit said to me true. However, judas did not destroy Jesus’ ministry because Jesus knew by the Holy Spirit he was a betrayer from the beginning. For that reason Jesus was not surprised at what he did ,but even said to him that which you do, do quickly as he went to betray him.John.13:27 & 28.

Jesus was not diminished after having committed so much to him that enabled him to reduce Jesus’s ministry to nothing, then say we all will deal with a judas when the ministry is gone.

The Holy Spirit had revealed every event to Jesus ahead of time and He was not taken by surprise and therefore not hurt in any situation. Jesus went into every situation completely in the know by revelation of the Holy Spirit and was never caught out in the dark right up to the moment He was arrested.

Jesus was so prepared He said to the disciples, my betrayer is at hand let us get up for this next phase I will suffer.

We need to above all things have such a union with the Holy Spirit that nothing takes us off course because the Holy Spirit has already shown us future events and we are only walking out what has been prepared by the Lord for us to accomplish.

The Apostle Paul walked in this light in Acts.28 when He said I perceive this voyage will be a disaster with loss of the ship, the cargo and lives so we should not go on it. The future event was revealed to Paul and it happened exactly as He saw except that because of him the lives of the people were all saved.

Look at the revelation of the famine Agabus saw in the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts which went on to happen, but because of foreknowledge revealed by Agabus through the Holy Spirit the disciples were provided for before time and did not die of hunger and starvation caused by the famine.

I told my unsaved family at the time that I saw in a vision all of us in our home in Freetown Sierra Leone. At the time three of us were in the UK , My elder brother in Botswana and my Dad in Freetown with no plan to be there. But in less than a month of that vision we were all in that home in Freetown as the Holy Spirit revealed and I remember their expression when they related that I had said it less than a month before by revelation of the Holy Spirit.

I pray today that as you hear these truths about the Holy Spirit revealing future events to you grace will be supplied to you to pursue communion with the Holy Spirit so that you will be in the know about future events in your life and be prepared to experience the mighty hand of the Lord to save, deliver you and keep you from all evil.

The Holy Spirit if you are willing will show you your daily events and what you will be doing in the events. He will give you a picture of what miracles He will involve you in so you can share in the might of God’s hand and be a partaker in the good works God prepared beforehand that you might walk in them to glorify His Holy Name.

May that reality of foreknowledge of future events be your portion in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in our time this morning wanted me to share with you the truth that makes for your life and Godliness. In John.16:13 we read these words. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

I need to over emphasize this reality to you because this reality about the Holy Spirit is what positions us to be victorious and triumphant in every situation in life. The person of the Holy Spirit is the Revealer of truth in every issue in life. This is because He is the essence of truth itself. “The Holy Spirit is absolute truth.”

He is the Spirit of truth therefore it is vital that we allow Him to guide us into all the truth. There are no lies with the Holy Spirit so when we are deceived about anything in life it is never the fault of the Holy Spirit but a spirit of error that we have believed or accepted which will bring death. We need to repent of accepting those lies and change course to get back to working in truth with the Holy Spirit .

There is no issue in life that the Holy Spirit will teach you or guide you into that will bring death. The Holy Spirit only brings truth which produces life in every situation and makes a way for forward movement in your life and circumstances. We can know the scripture that deals with every situation in our lives but the Holy Spirit as the truth Revealer makes that scripture real and manifests its reality for us to experience.

When I started out in ministry, I was dealing with a lady who got saved and was having problems with her husband and she needed counsel because she wanted a divorce as her husband was doing things that got her involved with witchcraft.

At that time I was an all scripture minister. I advised her to stay with the man because in my reading Jesus spoke about no divorce in scripture because what God put together no one should put asunder. Well I was wrong in my advice and the Holy Spirit showed me my mistake later because that cost her relationship with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit went on to share the complete truth about that situation with me and it was amazing and liberating. He said I never put them together in the first place so that union was not of His making. Therefore divorce would have freed her to serve the Lord and not succumb to witchcraft.

The fact that they were married was a decision they made when they met and because they came to church and had a minister officiate it did not make it a God union. She was not to submit to witchcraft to remain in union with a man who hurt and ruined her life.

I unfortunately not understanding the true context of scripture should not have advised her to stay in that situation of death. There was no peace in that situation and Jesus calls us to be at peace. I also went on to lose a faithful daughter in the Lord thinking I had saved a marriage. I should have sought the counsel of the Holy Spirit on what she should do in this situation.

We need to be able to ask the advice of the Holy Spirit on any matter and get His perspective before acting prematurely which I have learnt to do. It truly saves life if we inquire of the Holy Spirit before giving an answer.

I repented and learnt a salient lesson about the difference between the letter of truth we know from scripture and the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and guides us in which always produces life.

The Holy Spirit always guides us into all truth as the law/letter kills but the Spirit gives life. The law is not a person and is unable to relate to individual circumstances because it does not feel the person or appreciate the emotions, intents and purposes of the heart in the individual situation to give the best possible judgment based on all the mitigating facts surrounding it.

The law only imposes flat judgment and ensuing punishment for non compliance. The Holy Spirit is a Person and judges righteously on the basis of full revealed truth not just facts.

I found that satan always defeated me on truth I did not know by revelation of the Holy Spirit so I developed a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit and His guidance into truth which then brought forth fruit and much life and no losses.

This is why I am so passionate about walking and working with the Holy Spirit because that gives you the edge in life because truth is guiding you on what to do and what not to do. This ensures you always come out trumps because you followed the Spirit of truth.

I choose to believe what the Holy Spirit reveals about anybody more than anything they say or do or even preach because the Holy Spirit will always reveal the truth on the matter. He always keeps us up to date with the truth.John.13:36-38.

I pray today that as you hear these truths the grace contained in them will become reality in your life and experience and you will walk in the truth the Holy Spirit makes available to you and commit to always seeking Him for the Truth in all matters that pertain to your life and Godliness.

Let the Spirit of truth be your guide into all truth and stop yielding to your own understanding because it is killing you. Start living again by the truth the Holy Spirit supplies you for life. May the Lord help you to make this transition so your life can take shape again in truth for the glory of the Lord in Jesus name. 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, but ask questions 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 makes you determine who you trust, rely and depend upon concerning your life and what counsel you will let determine your future. Jesus taught us to consider certain 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 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 are unable 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 and 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 reliance 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 people come out daily at fixed times to put food for the ravens as a duty knowing that those same people will not do that for a fellow human and watched this principle of Jesus at work and learnt from it.

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 and 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 heart because it would keep them double-minded and unstable in heart and they would be unable to receive any benefits from Him in that dilemma.

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 trust and dependence on His ability and 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 and the Lord who created you knows that on earth you need them.

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

Let these truths you have just read through take charge over your hearts and repent for allowing doubt to push you from truth to a lie that God doesn’t care about your provision and that you have to do that as your priority.

Let the grace of the Holy Spirit empower you to see as Jesus wants you to and recover yourself from the stupor and consider correctly from the perspective of Jesus what your priority is and go after the Kingdom with all your heart.

Then go ahead and experience everything that has already been apportioned to you by the Lord and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth and free you from the lie so you can walk in the place the Lord ordained for you of victory and triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

I have found the Precious Holy Spirit as the Perfect Guide into all truth. This morning In our time together He reminded me of the reality of the facts about the faithfulness and loyalty of Jesus we depend on. His utmost care for us and how we must rest on His promises which are faithful. 1 Peter.5:7.

The Holy Spirit will bring about what He promised concerning our lives. So as you step into today let these truths have the control over all you do and say. So His grace can propel you to experience all the Lord determined for you have to glorify His name.

The Holy Spirit then went on to lead me to share with you as I asked Him what encouragement and word He wanted me to deliver to you His people for your victory this day. How to help you to walk in line with His ordained path for you as to being positioned right for the manifestation of every good and perfect gift He has available for you to walk in. James.1:17.

In Hebrews.6:10 which reads these wonderful words: For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can He forget the beautiful work you have done for Him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve His beloved ones for the glory of His name.

Firstly you must remember that the God you serve is faithful, not unjust or unfair. He remembers everything you have done for His name’s sake and will not let your labour of love go in vain. He takes record of all the good you have done and stores it up through His Angels for the day He brings out the manuscript He wants you to be a part of that shows what you mean to Him by releasing a reward in and through your life. Acts.10:4-8

In Malachi.3:16-18 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.17 “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts,

“On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

You will notice in my posts I always mention the word remember because it is very big with God. He always remembers to do good as that is His nature not to forget what He has promised and fulfill it, for He is not a man who cops out when under pressure. The Lord under the severest pressure will still fulfill and deliver as He said with His mouth, so His hand will fulfill. Psalm.89:33 & 34.

“You can rest your heart and soul on that fact.”

The Lord remembers the love you expressed towards His people and will reward you for that just as He promised Abraham: I will bless those who bless you. Anybody who does you good and expresses love towards you God will return in kindness to them for expressing love to you.

So be ready to receive love expressed back to you from the Lord through people in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over for the love you have shown them for the Lord’s name sake. Go ahead and receive that reality at this moment and share the testimony of the Lord’s faithfulness.

As the Lord does this on your behalf it brings glory to His name and removes the disgrace and shame which you have suffered doing good and loving to free people for His name’s sake and endorses you with the stamp of His approval for your life and reminds all that you are blessed and highly favoured of the Most High. Isaiah.25:8.

Now this is what the Holy Spirit wants you to remember, focus on and reflect on today. This means you receive and walk in, then see the landscape of your life transformed into this reality which magnifies your Father in heaven and shows without a shadow of doubt that Jesus whom you serve is Lord through signs, wonders and miracles.

Now go forth today in this grace and reflect on the reality of your Father’s nature in all things pertaining to your life and godliness in Jesus Name. Amen.

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 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 a healing and 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 and 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 says, speak to His disciples be a priority to hear then we need to pay very close attention. This is because that word must be so priceless and worth much for our use in the Kingdom operation on earth.

Firstly in Matthew.8:8 & 9 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 it 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 and therefore since He could heal various diseases He was an authority on it as it did not matter how long or how the sickness was caused Jesus had the answer.

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.”

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

We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word truth. So when Jesus says to this man who is not privy to the covenant promises of God shared in the Jewish community. The place from which you could hear about the Kingdom.

Then points out emphatically 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.

Jesus was fully aware that in this place all the record of truth is available to be studied and understood and accepted without question. Jesus is amazed at the level of understanding this man possessed. You can be sure his faith was authentic otherwise Jesus would have called him out on it.

Those elders always questioned the validity of Jesus and where He came from though every word in their torah pointed to Him as Messiah. However 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 for that reason 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 is what each of us who are Kingdom people need to make sure we never fall into that category of those who hear what the King says but have our own opinions on His ways and methods. This of course because we feel we know better and are more discerning.

The reality however is that we find ourselves missing out on 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 we miss out on what is happening and find ourselves experiencing darkness and falling under the sway of the devil, living in defeat and blaming our failure on Jesus rather than our drifting away from truth.

I have seen this situation happen often in the Kingdom when new believers come in and accept Jesus Words as final commands to obey and experience the Kingdom in their daily lives.

While seasoned believers seek to hurt and harm them because they are jealous of their swift progress and resent that it makes them look powerless and insignificant. That happened with the Apostle Paul.

They then become the accusers of the 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 unless we start to respond as the Holy Spirit dictates and make sure we are only obeying the dictates of King Jesus. By only 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 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

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 reign over you and captivate your hearts to comply and become as bold as the Centurion was. Then go on to experience 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.

Lay hold of these truths and 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 in Jesus name. Amen.

Today the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance what His role in our life is and how we can benefit more fully from everything He has made available to us. If we only knew how best to cooperate with Him and allow ourselves the opportunity to experience the glory He sets before us daily.

Let’s look today at the words Jesus spoke about the person of the Holy Spirit and His specific role towards us in John.16:12-15 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Firstly there is much more Jesus needs us to know about the working out of truth in our lives. So no matter how much truth we have we must remain humble students of the truth. We should always be pursuing further truth and understanding its operation in and through our lives.

The Holy Spirit is the determiner of when we need further illumination of truth, so we need to be available to Him and sensitive to His guidance and direction. In Acts.13:2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

In this passage we see that it is these men who make the choice to take time to minister to the Lord. We are not told on this particular occasion that the Holy Spirit led them to take this time out. However they were motivated to take time to just minister to the Lord and added in fasting with it.

We are kings and priests unto our God so taking time to minister to Him is part of the office of a priest. We should therefore make it a practice to take time out just to minister to the Lord.

The results in this event of taking time out were astonishing because the Holy Spirit speaks a new direction which separates Paul and Barnabas from their role in the Church setting to a higher role the Holy Spirit has called them to accomplish.

This new role will involve the power of the Holy Spirit working miraculously in their lives going forward outside the confines of Church circles and reaching out into the spheres of human life. Addressing people in their work environments and influencing the wider community which they then begin to do as they begin reaching out further.

What we just witnessed here is a guidance by the Holy Spirit of Paul and Barnabas into a greater truth of the mission God had appointed them to accomplish on His behalf that would expand the reach of the Kingdom of Jesus.

Their new role would influence far more people than they had seen or experienced before with astounding results marked by great miracles, signs and wonders. These signs attested to the fact that they had obeyed the truth by moving forward with the Holy Spirit and thus brought the manifestation of the Kingdom into the government of the day.

The Holy Spirit spoke on the authority of what Jesus had said to Paul before about reaching out to the Gentiles and bearing His name before Kings. This was never going to happen with Paul being stuck in church every week ministering to the same believers and the people they invited to church.

The time had come for a shift in direction so Paul and Barnabas had to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit as they made time to minister to the Lord. I will encourage you to make time to minister to the Lord and watch how things will change in your life and circumstances.

The Holy Spirit also in this passage goes on to reveal the events of the future concerning the life of Paul and Barnabas which were going to change drastically in all aspects including where they will now live because they needed to move away from Antioch to different regions and be on the move rather than in a single environment in there personal houses.

They were literally going to need to live out of suitcases in order to reach the sphere God was directing them to take, now without the church support. Their new provision would come from the Holy Spirit’ guidance who takes over their affairs as their Boss.

Once the Holy Spirit takes over as their boss things dramatically change and a new authority now operates in their lives. With new sources of provision and ways of obtaining it become available which they had never previously experienced.

All this by the powerful hand of the Lord who sent them out and was certainly not going to leave them as orphans out there to perish, but make every provision they needed to come to them to fulfill the vision.

Just look from Acts13 onwards and watch the record of the life of Paul and Barnabas from then on. What Paul goes on to manifest of the power of Jesus is startling in its magnitude and is a reminder to us of how obedience to the Holy Spirit’s leading and guidance does in the life of a follower and disciple of Jesus.

I pray today that as you hear these words the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to these truths and grace will be imparted to you wherever you are in your relationship with Jesus. Go on to be propelled into His plan for your life.

Then allow the Holy Spirit to move you back into place and alignment to where you are to be positioned at this time. So that the Holy Spirit can move you back into the centre of the will of Jesus for you presently.

I pray the Holy Spirit enables you to recover your lost years and bring you to the place of glory He ordained for you to walk in. Only be ready to follow whatever the asks you to do and watch the changes that will happen in you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me this morning to continue the word from yesterday and deal with the next aspect of Hebrews.10:36 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 a need for something you know that it is imperative that you seek to understand what it is you need.

Then go wholeheartedly to pursue and get it because without it you will be missing something that can cost you much loss though you have already done much work already.

The Lord wants us complete, lacking nothing that is necessary for our life and godliness.

So you will 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 from God 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.

This is because satan wants you to believe he is in control of situations and events on earth. He desires to manipulate God’s order on the earth and make humans believe he can change circumstances at will. Psalm.2.

I have found that the Lord is not bothered with the fact that His will can be contested and challenged. In fact He uses the contesting of His will to prove and show just how powerful and great He God actually is, which builds endurance within us.

This reality of the Lord’s confidence in His ability enables us to be bold which in turn means we never quit and 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.

When you have obeyed instructions and you have done what God requires you to do. You have followed through the difficult set of instructions and are now awaiting the reality of the blessing from the Lord.

You will need the endurance, strength, fortitude ,steadfastness of heart necessary to go further and refuse to quit on the promise. “However you will have to lay hold of the promise with unwavering audacity that what God said you will have.”

It is as the Apostle 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 can miss out on a harvest because we have not built endurance which will carry us all the way through to manifestation. Having put all that work in we can lose because we grow weary and faint.”

When I realized I can lose out by not taking decisive action that makes me do what is necessary. I said no chance on my watch. I will do whatever it takes to build the endurance necessary to carry me through to the finish line and have the reality of the promise.

“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 and reaches us and pulls us out 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 been worked out in and through you, 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 in God is not a 100 meter dash but a long marathon run which entails bumps and turns. So you will need to be resilient and ready to overcome obstacles and still keep going forward. So be ready my brethren and sistren.

As the apostle Paul puts it in Ephesians.6:13 & 14 having done all to stand, still stand ready until you win. Don’t buckle under pressure but use the 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 of God and live it out.

Say no to giving up, quitting and fix your gaze firmly on going forward and receiving your prize without reservation or apology. Then watch how your life will be all the greater and mightier in God with the miraculous power of the Most High being your witness and notable proof of Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me to encourage you this morning through words from the book of Hebrews.10:35 & 36 which says Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

Many of you have done the will of God faithfully and faced all sorts of obstacles, and still refused to cave in, held on in fierce battles. You wonder why you have not received the reward/promise the bible says you should have after having done all that is necessary to stand.

Well today the Holy Spirit has good news for you which should lift you up and push you through to the position of triumph regardless of how weak, tired and frustrated you may feel.

First of all you must remember that no matter what you feel or think is happening to you, that is not the reality of life. This is what events, various situations and choices you made in those instances that are trying to convince you that you will not make it through this time.

“Your complex situation forces you to believe you are locked in a stranglehold from which you cannot escape but that is not the accurate truth.”

Since your Father can do all things and can make impossible things become possible and always gives life to the dead. Then He calls things which do not exist as though they did, then you have no reason to fear because your help is on the way.

You will come out winning with a song of deliverance.

The Holy Spirit wants you however to embrace this stance at this moment that Hebrews.10:35 & 36 says you need to have to benefit and gain all the Father has for you.

“ Don’t cast away your confidence in who God is to you, what He did for you and the inheritance He has provided for you because He never fails anyone who has trusted in Him.”

You will not be the first candidate where God goes on to fail helping out.

Many have already come out of much worse than you are facing so you need to be strong and refuse to budge regardless of the fear and trepidation you feel. They are only feelings and they do not kill.

“ They desire you to give into their pressure and fall into defeat.” So resist that ungodly pressure.

Your confidence has a great reward attached to it. Look at what the Apostle John says about it in 1 John.5:14 & 15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Anything we ask the Lord He will give us in accordance with His will which means that though everything is bleak and seems dark we know that God will step in and make a way through for us if we only ask Him.

Anything means nothing is left out and that is why we must not cast away that confidence because as long as we hold on to it we will come out victorious and triumphant. We just know that we know that God will not fail to make a way out for us.

“Your confidence means everything to you and you must fight to keep hold of it as it will never let you down.”

“ It is your deposit of strength from the Holy Spirit that ensures you will come through no matter what happens.”

It is what Paul used on the ship in Acts.27 that meant he knew he would be saved and all the people on the ship with him would be freed. It is what Peter knew that meant he could sleep in Prison on the night before his trial for execution the next day by Herod and he was gloriously delivered.

Can you imagine the fear he felt as he lay there chained to officers because they knew God had done some saving of His people in prison before so ensured he was completely bound. This was to make sure any attempt to be freed would be felt and recognized so it could be promptly stopped.

However God still broke right through and still delivered Peter. Then brought him out alive, well and strengthened as he went on to fulfill the plan of God for his life.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know today that it is your turn to come out, as you fearlessly hold onto your confidence in the Lord’s ability to deliver. You will come out unharmed with a testimony of triumph and such significance that all will marvel. Then say this is the hand of the Most High working on your behalf and we have to admit that a notable miracle has been done on your behalf.

So lay hold of these words of truth and let the grace released in them propel you to hold on vehemently to your confidence without wavering. Then go on to experience the mighty hand of the Lord working on your behalf in the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me of the great value there is in the house of wisdom and why seeking for wisdom over years is the greatest asset we as His people have.

When we seek after wisdom wholeheartedly and begin to find it working in our lives things begin to change dramatically and the investment of time spent begins to pay off because wisdom has the ability to make something out of nothing. Luke.2:52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Now the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom and possesses all the wisdom there is necessary for progress in life and developing a relationship with Him is pivotal in experiencing the productivity of wisdom.

I am reminded of a time when I was seeking passionately after the Spirit of wisdom and I met a couple of guys in church who were interested in the spiritual gifts they possessed and were always talking about the fact that they had the gifts of healing or miracles and could do wonders that made people marvel at them.

The only thing was that they seemed to have no fruit of the Spirit. All boasting and competing whose gift was greater.

They asked me which of the gifts of the Spirit I had and I said none but that I was building a relationship with the Holy Spirit who owned and possessed all the gifts.

I was content to rest on knowing Him because if I had the giver of the gifts then I could experience all that He had rather than a gift which only dealt with one facet of life. I figured that I would be at a disadvantage if I had a singular gift. So what would I do when I had an issue outside my gift.

“Well that proved to be the most valuable advice the Holy Spirit gave me to answer them because in reality to have a gift is one thing. However, to have a relationship with the Owner of all gifts is far greater because He makes available to you whichever gift you need when it is necessary for the appropriate situation.

”It was as if satan was using every available believer/leader to accuse me on my walk with the Lord and disqualify me from the way the Holy Spirit was teaching me the practical principles of life for my future in the Kingdom.

These truths have proved invaluable to me as I navigated through much church hostility and persecution. The lessons I learned have become spiritual equipment for aiding young believers in their journey with the Lord and keeping them on the right path.

In Proverbs.21:20 we read these words In wisdom’s house you’ll find delightful treasures and the oil of the Holy Spirit. But the stupid squander what they’ve been given. The Holy Spirit reminded me that wisdom is a house which means it is far bigger than a singular event and because it has many rooms, there is a vast amount that puts it all together.

For that reason you will therefore find in it many delightful treasures all around. I have learnt by reason of experience there is much more available that is necessary which you will discover as you find wisdom in the various rooms.

“ Wisdom is not a singular event though it can solve individual events but I can assure you that you will need wisdom again so don’t rest on the magnitude of one event wisdom solved for you as your mark of grandeur.”

When you seek after wisdom who Jesus happens to be. 1 Corinthians.1:30. You will come to discover that you will be filled with so much treasure that solves life issues and quandaries, which also provides ways out of the most dangerous and perilous situations.

“Secondly you will find that in the house of wisdom there is the oil of the Holy Spirit which speaks of the anointing which removes burdens and destroys yokes, overcomes obstacles, always triumphs and has barrier breaking capacity and an earth shaking magnitude at your disposal to deal with anything that would rise up against you in judgment.”

This is the reason for a continuous pursuit of wisdom so you go on to possess the house of wisdom as opposed to just a word of wisdom which solves an immediate situation but has no answers for tomorrow’s troubles when they come and believe me they will come. Job.14:1 “Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble.

“Your priority is to build the house of wisdom for your life not your name or reputation because those will fade but wisdom will live over the grave of every human being because wisdom will never die as it is resurrection and life.”

I believe that from hearing these truths you will see how much of an investment giving time to building and seeking wisdom is. You will see just how lasting the results of wisdom are. Then you will make it the priority of your life and seek for the grace the Holy Spirit will make available for you to have the house of wisdom built into you.

This will make you become a dispenser of the nature and character of God in your generation, which will leave a legacy of God for your life that will always be speaking of your union with the Lord in Jesus. Amen.
