The Word Of The Lord For The 17/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit. He led me to share further insight into the truth of engaging with Him to manifest the God-breathed promise. Today I will explain in greater detail some of the most precious aspects of what the Lord will require us to do to be fully engaged with Him in the manifestation of the promise in our lives.

Firstly in Isaiah.51:1 & 2 the Lord says “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. 2 Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.”

The Father is speaking here to us and you will notice that when He speaks He always reminds us to listen or pay close attention to what we are about to hear because it is important and we cannot afford to miss any part of it.

God the Father never engages in small insignificant talk, because what He says and speaks always creates things that are non existent and gives life to the things which are dead. This is why we should reverence conversations with Him with utmost respect and respond to them with prompt obedience.

“The Word of the Lord is our most valuable gift in life.” This is because His word to us creates everything we could ever need.

As a follower of Jesus we must follow after righteousness because Jesus loves righteousness and hates lawlessness.Hebrews.1:8 & 9. Everything Jesus did involved actions of righteousness and was based on a righteous heart action. Peter also makes this clear in the house of Cornelius in Acts.10:34 & 35 when He says I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but anyone who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted.

Again the Father points out here that the true seeker of the Lord needs to be a listener not a talker. Someone who always waits for what the Lord is saying. Always seeking to know what God is saying at any given point in time because he knows whose voice he needs to hear, obey and then follow after to have life.

So let us now take this reality as we look at these words from the Father.

We are to look to or observe the rock Jesus from whom we have been hewn or crafted. We are obligated to look at who is our foundation and His authenticity. How He brought us out from the pit we were in and changed our life perspective and made us brand new. We are to look at Abraham as part of the cloud of witnesses who inherited the God promise.

This is because the story of his life and how God picked him up from nothing and made him something is exactly what God wants to do with you. Pay close attention to and remember the details of how the Lord called him alone.

The Lord then separated him from everything he held dear and invited him alone to follow Him by leaving what he knew and understood in life. Then supernaturally the Lord blessed him, increased him and made him many in a phenomenal way.

When you look at the life of Abraham which the Holy Spirit led me to do again and you study him fully you will recognise that every time Abraham did not fully obey the directive from God he failed in the mission and had situations that arose which hurt him. He left Ur of the Chaldeans but unfortunately brought Lot with him who became a stumbling block down the road.

This block hindered Abraham from hearing the voice of God and only when Lot was finally separated from Abraham did God reveal to Abraham the full picture of the promise destined for him. Only then was Abraham able to engage fully with the Lord and go on to take the promise.

This is clearly reflected in Genesis.13:14-17 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

When Abraham finally gained the promise of his son Isaac, Lot was not around because you cannot take the family you are to be separated from into the blessing the Lord intended for you because they will be the compromise that robs you.

In studying the complete story of Abraham’s journey over again I got to see where he fell short of the promise. I learnt what that compromise with Lot cost him and what it took to get him out of the pit it put him in again. Then to watch and see the process back to the place God intended for him to be at the given time, because he had not fully obeyed the instructions God had given him.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that He was speaking to me now in the final conversation with Abraham as he was now going to manifest Isaac his promise. Abraham needed to be found blameless in his conduct to walk this out completely.

He could not afford to walk loosely as he had done before over the years which kept him running cycles and circles of defeat and desperation. A salient lesson we must of necessity adopt to inherit our promise from God.

Even though he built altars to try to hear God. There was no voice of the Lord who came to lead and direct him until he separated from what was holding him bound. His family ties with Lot. The Lord is so gracious and kind when He points out here in Isaiah.51 what we need to do to move forward using the story of the life of Abraham as a proto type for us who follow righteousness.

Such a clear story for us to look at to empower us to win through more easily in our race because we have an example before us to glean and understand from.

So today as you listen to these words, receive the grace in them that enables you to revisit the promise God has for your life. Then ask Him to restore you from where you have allowed family ties to keep you in bondage that God wanted to deliver you from years ago. Allow the Holy Spirit to remove you from the plans and things you have done on the basis of men, and ministers suggestions.

Also take an inventory of all the relationships you have made which you hold dear, but which are keeping you from navigating forward in the promise of God. Go ahead and even relook your Church affiliations and see whether you need to make some separations which will free you to serve the Lord that you don’t want to contemplate which the Lord has been prodding at you to do.

Do whatever you need to do to be in the bullseye of the will of God for your life. You must be willing to put down everything to follow the Lord fully in this year so you can inherit the promise of the Lord.

You must be willing to deny yourself and stop holding on to self and expecting God will work with self. The Holy Spirit will not work with yourself but with who God wants to make you and separate you to become for His glory.

Let the grace in these words empower you to make the shift through to being willing to do it God’s way in Jesus name. Amen.

The Word Of The Lord For The 18/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He spoke to me about seeing things beyond the plain, to beyond the mountain unto the place He has ordained for you to walk in this new season. Beyond your wildest dreams.

He spoke clearly about things that eye has not seen. The ear has not heard, nor have entered the heart of man the things He has prepared for us.

They shall be revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. He pointed out to me that these are not just words we speak from the bible because we know a couple of scriptures.

They are real promises from the Holy Spirit which He is about to bring to manifestation in our lives in true live events that will happen. He reminded me that the vision is for an appointed time and that it will speak. Habakkuk.2:3.

These words are not vain imaginations or high things which men have conceived but a product of the Holy Spirit which shall be birthed forth for the Lord’s glory to be revealed for men to see. God does not bring to the time of birth and then fails to bring forth. Isaiah.66:9.

This season is just as when the Lord said that a virgin will conceive and give birth to His son. Isaiah.7:14.

That thought was not conceivable in the eyes of men because it is not possible in the natural realm for that sort of event to take place. However the Lord said it because He had planned it and was in the time appointed going to make it happen regardless of whether man believed it possible or not. Our Master Jesus was the result of that word.

Man was going to be involved with the process and that singular event was going to change the course of history eternally. It opened the door for a new breed of men loaded with God to become the catalysts of the greatest moves of God in history.

Men and women empowered by the Holy Spirit doing and carrying out feats for God that had never been seen before but became commonplace in the affairs of men.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that when Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke those prophecies men laughed, scorned and ridiculed them as heretics, but did the responses of men change the facts of those words.

Never because the words the Lord speaks are not subject to what thus saith man. So don’t be concerned when men ridicule the words God speaks concerning His plan for your life in this season but respond as Mary did when she said: be it unto me according to your word and, what Gabriel said to Mary shall be your end result because with God nothing shall be impossible.

God never promised possible things will happen. God always declares the impossible to man will happen so that no flesh can glory in His Presence. Luke.1:38.

“So today lift your eyes and look beyond the plain and beyond over the mountains of possibility to the realities that the Holy Spirit is pointing to where the impossible becomes a reality and you experience it with shouts of joy and excitement saying look what the Lord has done and it is marvelous in our eyes.”

“Don’t be moved by any voice that contradicts what thus saith the Lord but laugh in scorn at anything that says it will not happen for this is the time the Lord has ordained to bring His plan for your life to come to pass.”Psalm.2:4.

Nothing can stop what the Lord has spoken so agree and align yourself to the truth. Then resist the lie of the devil that says it is impossible.

“Yes the Holy Spirit says resist the voice of doubt and unbelief that says that is impossible and agree with the Holy Spirit’s voice saying be part of history being created in your life in Jesus name. Amen.”

I pray that as these words register in your heart the grace contained in them will empower you to receive them. Then incubate them in your life to bring forth the fruit the Holy Spirit has ordained that no eye has not seen, nor ear has not heard, nor have entered the heart of man the things God has prepared at this time of the miraculous for you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Word Of The Lord For The 14/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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 Word Of The Lord For The 13/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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 Word Of The Lord For The 11/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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 Word Of The Lord For The 9/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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.

The Word Of The Lord For The 07/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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 Word Of The Lord For The 5/09/2024. From Emile Luke.

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.

The Word Of The Lord For The 29/08/2024. From Emile Luke.

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 Word Of The Lord For The 27/08/2024. From Emile Luke.

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.
