The Holy Spirit in my communion time directed me to look to Him for His tailor made plan to bring me into His place of rest for my life where all the promises of Jesus are manifested in my life. I invite you to meditate on these words and receive every grace supplied in them to partake of the full portion of Jesus’s inheritance for your lives, regardless of where you had missed it. There is recovery for you if you will turn back to the Lord.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning that regardless of where I have been, and what I have suffered and the failures I have had, there still remains a plan specifically designed for me which brings me right into God’s best design for me. No matter what plans I put in place that failed, the Holy Spirit has at His disposal a tailor made plan that will bring me straight into the place of rest God has ordained for me to live and walk in.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that He has everything necessary to put me on top of everything. He pointed out that this is why He said that if He God is for me no one can be against me. It does not matter how many things are working against me. The Holy Spirit is devising plans for me and if I would yield to Him I will succeed because His plan is certain to succeed and override whatever satan plans or does.

Satan He reminded me is limited to the natural realm and only uses manipulation of events, people and natural occurrences to deceive us but if we would surrender and submit daily to the Holy Spirit for the plans He has we will always come through with a victory that would astound our foes and magnify the name of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the word He spoke to me in Abuja Nigeria saying that I don’t judge the events of your life because they can be manipulated and you fall into them by default, but I judge the intent and purpose of your heart in the event. What I do in the situation that arises determines what and how God would judge me.

It was such a comfort for me at that point in my life because satan was using every wrong place or event I found myself in to accuse me and once the Lord released that word to me all those accusations evaporated and I had God reveal plans that brought me out of what satan had hatched into what God had ordained and planned for me.

Remember that one word from the Lord in a single moment can transform your life so go after the Lord for His plan. So today remember that the Lord has living plans designed to bring you out and all you need to do is come to Him in humility and repentance and ask Him to show you how to navigate things through His voice speaking them to you.

You will need to give Him time and worship to benefit from what He has in store for you so make up your mind to give the Holy Spirit place and be willing to change whatever you think or believe to line up with His living wisdom and watch and see how your life will come through ever situation victoriously and triumphantly in Jesus’ name. Amen.

One more thing, be willing to change what you believe because it may be a lie and allow the Holy Spirit to show and guide you in your believing so you are always walking in the truth in Jesus Name. Amen

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He reminded me of the parameters he has provided for us to remain within so the enemy does not break through our hedge and assail us and rob us of our forward movement and the new thing the Holy Spirit has set before us to partake of and walk in.

The Holy Spirit went on to say to me that is why when I started my journey with Him He taught me on personal warfare to maintain everything He spoke and gave me as a priority because things on earth will be challenged and we have to have the backbone to stand and defeat them in the name of Jesus who trains us to overcome. So allow these words to revive your spirit to take decisive action in the grace supplied you in them to say no devil you are not going to rob me this time.

The Holy Spirit highlighted a truth to me this morning that reminded me that the Lord has set parameters about what can affect and harm our lives which we need desperately to know so that we are not hurt and affected by what is illegal against us from God’s perspective. In Proverbs:12.21 it says Calamity is not allowed to overwhelm the righteous, but there’s nothing but trouble waiting for the wicked.

The Holy Spirit said that calamity does not have permission from Him to overwhelm the life of the righteous.

So I asked Him why then do the righteous have calamity constantly seeking to overwhelm and drown out and swallow up our lives if He the Lord has set for that not to happen. The Holy Spirit pointed out to me first that though something is decreed does not mean it cannot be challenged on earth. If someone takes you to court and you don’t show up and defend yourself what is determined will happen to you.

The reality is that we need to know what we have been given and the extent of our authority and what is not permitted against us. For example the word says no weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against us in judgment we shall condemn, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of Him says the Lord.

However we see that weapons are formed and many times seem to prosper against us but if you truly look at the context of that promise it never said weapons will not be formed against us it is that they will not prosper and we need to condemn them.

“What we do not condemn will condemn us because we did not refute and reject them.”

He reminded me of Job who was assaulted by the enemy with a vicious attack that wanted to reduce him to nothing and make a mockery of his righteousness.

God even commended him as one who eschewed evil and worked righteousness however once Job was attacked if you look at his speech and conversation and conduct in it he gave the enemy room to ravage his life more because he seemed unsure of his covenant with God and started self cursing, and agreeing with the lies, but in the end when he came to his senses on the back of the word of the Lord spoken by Elihu his friend and God stepping in to remind Job of who He was and is to Job the whole situation changed and Job was restored back to life and given back double for his losses and another 140 years down to the fourth generation without satan being able to ravish him because he now knew the God of his covenant and the parameters of his protection and how to ward of attacks and attempts to hurt him.

The Holy Spirit said in like manner we need to know the parameters in our lives and fight against the enemy when he seeks to harass us and rebuke him and his lies and take what has been apportioned to us as our inheritance. He reminded me that satan even tried to make Jesus question His sonship by saying if you are the son of God after he heard the Father say to Jesus You are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. What did Jesus do! Agree with satan that He was not what God said He was. No He said it is written and on that I stand and the enemy had to back off because Jesus could not be robbed of His identity by lies and always addressed lies with the words it is written and the enemy had to flee.

So today the Holy Spirit wants you to know that calamity has no permission to overwhelm your righteous life because your righteousness is of the Lord not yourself and therefore you need to stand up and demand calamity in any form to leave with all its effects from your presence and your life now to be overwhelmed with the power and Presence of the Holy Spirit which brings complete freedom from the oppression of the devil in the manifestation of good with signs, wonders and miracles reflecting the Hand of the Lord on your behalf.

Rise up in this might of yours and take back your peace, joy and results of good and watch the enemy scoot away because you know whose you are and to whom you belong and He does not permit calamity to take you over in Jesus Name.

Have a wonderful start to the week with this reality in your lives and never move from it.

Say aloud Calamity your days in my life are over in Jesus Name and promises fulfilled you are my daily Reward in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He wants me to share further on the concept and reality of guarding our hearts with all diligence. This is to give you some practical steps and thought patterns to adopt with your heart which will aid you in being able to effectively come away from being judgemental and prejudiced to just obeying and following the pattern of the Lord. Let me first give you a scriptural basis for what the Holy Spirit wants to equip you to do. In John.2:23 & 24 we read these words : Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

Now firstly Jesus did not do any miracles for the people to gain popularity or acceptance from them that He was great and wanted a name for Himself. His actions for doing the miracles were obedience to the will of His father who assigned for Him to minister those good deeds to people regardless of how they would respond to Him. He was only interested in being in oneness with His fathers will and having no other desire but pleasing the Father. John.5:30 : I have not ever acted, and will not in the future act, on My own. I listen to the directions of the One who sent Me and act on these divine instructions. For this reason, My judgment is always fair and never self-serving. I’m committed to pursuing God’s agenda and not My own. (The Passion translation)

I can’t do a thing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is right; because I don’t seek my own desire, but the desire of the one who sent me. (The complete Jewish Bible). What we see here is that Jesus had no hidden agenda or desire in His mind as He obeyed the Father so He was completely free from being wounded in heart because He was satisfied with His obedience, and not the reaction of the people. For that reason Jesus would not commit Himself to them but stayed committed to His Father. We miss it in guarding our hearts because we feel people will be grateful for what we have done for them and because they express gratitude and kind words that indicate they will do good to us.

We hurriedly commit our hearts to continuing helping them and being available to them without asking the Lord. This means we become bitter and lose our position in the Lord because we become offended with the Lord because of their behavior. This means we enter a downward spiral and our hearts are unable to connect with the Holy Spirit so our results start to dwindle and our communion with the Holy Spirit becomes more and more extinct.

In order to deal with this the Holy Spirit taught me not to respond to what people said about me no matter the size of the miracle God did for them and become confident that they would be faithful, so I would commit to their prosperity and availability to continue in the Lord. They only want a miracle, get it but are not willing to do what it takes to remain in covenant with the Lord and would even hand you over to an enemy because they want something else. This is why we should guard our hearts so that we only commit them to those the Holy Spirit says we should that are committed to Him.

I recall in Botswana the afternoon I had given to a lady to minister to her to help her process deliverance and when I arrived home, after giving her that time. There was another lady waiting for me to get back so I could help her. The lady I had ministered to was saying they should not put such pressure on me and demand or want so much at odd hours. The Holy Spirit however said to me to go ahead and minister to her because she would be a blessing to me. So I just ignored what that lady defending me said and went on to minister to the lady who went on to have a great deliverance and became the true blessing to me, my ministry work and my personal life for years as the Holy Spirit had said.

This other lady, though wealthy, never did anything for me, but continued to take what she could from my ministry but was not a blessing to me. It is so important only to commit your heart to those God says to and stay aloof from what just seeks to take from you. In John.6:64-66 we read these words : “But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were, who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

You see that although they had been following Jesus for a time Jesus had not committed His heart to them because they were to leave Him when the requirements of discipleship became too demanding.This is because the Father had not drawn them in the first place to Jesus, but rather the miracles which they wanted and to be a part of the great things happening in the life of Jesus;s ministry.

I am sharing these things with you so you can guard your hearts against hurt because you too quickly commit to people’s success without asking the Holy Spirit who and what spirit do they carry. Did Jesus send them or did satan send them to infiltrate your space and poison your God cleansed space? Though they look eager and willing to learn and take from you did the Lord send them or is it a trap to lure your heart away from the Lord.

I will conclude this post here with this scripture from Acts.8 on the behavior of simon the sorcerer : Moreover, Shim‘on himself came to believe; and after being immersed, he attached himself closely to Philip; and he was amazed as he saw the miraculous signs and great works of power that kept taking place.

You will notice that although every other believer in Samaria believed in Jesus and listened to the teachings of Philip and obeyed them and gained life in Jesus through them. The only person who attached to Philip which is wrong anyway, as only leeches attach to sap your strength and life.

You will find that only he did not get freed and delivered and Peter explains the condition of his heart though he seemed so eager to learn specially from the Lord by attaching to Philip Acts.8:20-23 : 20 But Kefa said to him, “Your silver go to ruin — and you with it, for thinking the free gift of God can be bought! 21 You have no part at all in this matter; because in the eyes of God, your heart is crooked. 22 So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps you will yet be forgiven for holding such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are extremely bitter and completely under the control of sin!”

Don’t be fooled by excitement that people want to hear you and you commit yourself prematurely to what will destroy you, but guard your heart and weigh all events by the Holy Spirit

As you hear these words today let the grace supplied in them enable you not to walk with a simon and commit your heart to what destroys you. May you find the discernment in the Spirit that Peter walked in to expose evil intent to ruin the harvest and guard your hearts from losing out on the Lord’s best for your lives in Jesus name.

My prayer for you is that you find peace in guarding your hearts with all diligence and walking in the freedom of what the Holy Spirit has designed and purposed for you in this season of your life in the destiny granted you by Jesus. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him reminded me of the importance of us guarding our hearts and asked me to share again this truth as many of you are facing this situation presently of being required to commit your hearts to people and events which have the potential to rob you of the season of fruitfulness before you.

The Lord wants you to relook at the kind of commitments that are being required of you and step back. Then lean on the guidance of the Holy Spirit who is checking you to keep you from much pain and disappointment at the unfaithfulness of men to bring you into offense. Let these words give you grace to come out of what seeks to rob you and place you safely into the plan the Holy Spirit wants you to inherit at the inception of this year in your life.

The Holy Spirit said to remind the Brethren/ Sistren of the primary responsibility we have towards the Lord and that is to guard our hearts. He pointed out to me as I meditated on Proverbs:4 in my fellowship time and as I got to verse:23. which reads So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are.Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.

The importance again of the heart in all things that pertain to Him and our relationship with Him. He emphasized the issue of major priority to guard our hearts and the affections we have within our hearts so that our lives can follow the source of life He Jesus intended for us and not another. Now there are many things the Lord asks us to do and keep but He indicated that the state of the heart will determine what I obey and do regardless of what He speaks to me. This is crucial to my victory in Him.

Now as the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me my attention was focused on the level of security that is arranged and put in place to protect a leader and guard him from attacks or any possible assaults on his life and the Holy Spirit said that must be the priority we give to setting guard over our hearts because that will determine the path we follow.

The issues of life or the source of our life consequences will flow from where our heart is centred whether good or bad and for that reason we need to protect our hearts from deception and committing to people too easily and despising discernment of situations.

He pointed out to me that although it said in John:2.23-25 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. 24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. Jesus never committed Himself His heart to men’s causes regardless of what they said or committed to do for Him because He knew what they would and could do once He gave His support and approval to them.

He also brought up the incident in Luke:12.13-34 where the man asks Jesus to make his brother divide the inheritance for him and Jesus responded by saying who made me a Judge and Arbitrator for you. Why do you think I will commit my heart to you receiving your inheritance when I don’t know you and what you stand for. We found out from Jesus it was greed.

On the other hand Jesus spoke in both situations that He would support those He chose under the supervision of the Holy Spirit and committed His All to support and help them because they followed Him. You will notice in the Bible that anyone who asked Jesus to follow Him He never committed to them and refused there offer to follow Him, but He chose specifically all those He committed his heart to and never forsook or hurt them but nurtured them with all He possessed and had and we need to be open to the Holy Spirit on who we can commit our hearts to and not just love arbitrarily and commit any part of our heart to everyone who asks.

He reminded me of when people came to me when I ministered in Botswana telling me what they wanted to do for me and my ministry because of the miracles they experienced and how I told the Lord that they would be faithful. This was because they seemed faithful and ready to do with what little they had to help promote the work I was doing. I felt committed in my heart to them to have supernatural provision, prayed and agreed. Then asked the Lord to release the provision and how that had panned out.

They all deserted me once the much resources arrived. They were nowhere to be seen. I learnt my lesson the hard way but the enemy still tries new ventures to get our heart’s commitment and we need to be constantly vigilant in guarding our hearts from things and people that rob us which He is bringing to my notice again today. I still have people asking me to commit my heart to their projects to succeed and I just simply say no the Lord is not leading me to commit.

I realize from the Holy Spirit again today the importance of guarding and keeping my heart even with those I chose through the Holy Spirit not to commit my heart to all they say regardless of how faithful they seem to be and have been over time.

The key is the commitment of our hearts to the Lord and His plan so that we are continually walking in the wellspring of life which He alone is. My prayer for you today as you hear and receive these words is to look at your heart commitments to people and ask the Holy Spirit to show you the ones you need to extricate from, the ones you need to review and change the position of being security for them and those you need to walk away from and remove from your heart and the weight and burden they have been to you.

Repent in all situations of committing your heart too easily and ask the Lord to recover your life from the pains, suffering and shame that commitment brought to your life and restore back fruitfulness and blessings back to you in Jesus, Precious Name. Amen.

Have a wonderful time of discovery from the Holy Spirit and celebrate the freedom your heart will experience as you prioritize guarding your heart with all diligence.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of what He had spoken at the head of the year (Roshahanah) and pointed out I should share it again so your hearts will be stirred into remembrance of the things you need to do at this inception of 2024.Let this new mindset be the framework of your pursuit of the Lord. Your spiritual conduct needs to be found blameless before the Lord so you do not have misses in your timeframes set by the Holy Spirit and you have to walk in delays which could have been easily avoided.

If only you made some minor adjustments in your actions, words and how you responded to obstacles and high things that seek to exalt themselves above the knowledge of God in your lives. May the Holy Spirit grace you through these words to enjoy and experience all Jesus has purposed for you to partake of your inheritance in Him of the miraculous happenings that attest to the fact that you are His in Jesus name.

On this fourth morning of the New year or season of life the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me of what we are to expect will happen for us and the way we will need to conduct ourselves to enjoy the things He has assigned for us to do for the glory of Jesus. I have come to realize over the seasons in my life that there is always a time of preparation that God requires us to take before He can fulfill His good plan in our lives.

It is vital that we use that time wisely and opportunity to ground ourselves in more of the heart and mind of God. It is the time we must meditate and confess more of thus saith the Lord. It is the time to worship God more and show Him how much it means to us that we stay in very close contact with Him for everything.

It is the opportunity to fellowship more with the Holy Spirit and understand His part in your processing and to line up more with Him in surrender and yieldedness to His commands and orders.

In Genesis.17:1 God speaks these words to Abraham When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. Now for true context the Apostle Paul points out that the blessing of Abraham is upon all who call on the name of the Lord and that Abraham is the father of our faith. This points to the fact that what Abraham did to receive the manifestation of the promise of God we will need to do if we are to have the same results.

In fact 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.”

We see here that the Lord invites anyone who follows righteousness to look at the life of Abraham and follow the path he followed in righteousness to receive the promised inheritance from the Lord which Abraham went on to receive from the Lord in the manifestation of Issac.

We go back to what God spoke to Abraham as a word for his preparation to now manifest the promise. God has continually been speaking about how He will bless Abraham but now the time of manifestation arrives. He gives some commands that Abraham must do if he is to receive and walk in the blessing. God points out to him a new name of Himself as “The Almighty God” which hitherto Abraham did not know about God. With this greater knowledge of the Lord it required Abraham to now walk blameless before the Lord to experience the blessing.

The principle of more being required of you because more has been committed to you which Jesus pointed came into operation with Abraham.

This new requirement God stipulates to Abraham points out that it is no longer permitted to just walk casually concerning the promise of God but he needed to be engaged in his walk and ensure that he was found blameless in all that he did before God. God was not demanding perfection but being blameless, meaning that in everything he did he was not to be found with blame in the intent and purpose of his heart towards the things of God on which he could be accused.

His walk was to be calculated and clearly orchestrated ensuring he did the things that pleased God, not the kind of careless thing they did with hagar that pollutes your house and gives room to the enemy. He could not afford those kinds of mistakes now that could cost him that season.

As I have pointed out it is in this season of the manifestation of the promise that the Lord has made of the inheritance, coming into reality that we need to be most vigilant and sober. Resting our hope fully upon the grace that the Holy Spirit supplies to keep on the side of being blameless before God in all we do. You will find the greatest temptations will arise at this time to draw you away from the path of righteousness to follow after sin. Many offers will seek your attention to do otherwise and seek to compromise your fidelity towards God and put you in the place of blame.

However it is your business to stay faithful and obedient to the will of God regardless of what happens and be found blameless before Him so you can inherit the promise.

I have found that the more we surrender to the Holy Spirit the more strength and resilience we have to remain steadfast as He is our Helper and will give us every grace necessary to complete the task God requires without compromise. I find that in giving the Holy Spirit my weaknesses and realizing my fickleness as a human, His strength takes over my weakness and I am able to muster His might to go over and beyond myself into His unlimited strength and come up trumps.

My hearts cry for you this morning is that in this Auspicious moment where you need to be closest to God and the workings of the Holy Spirit grace will be supplied you to walk worthy of the Lord and fully pleasing to Him so you can in this new season of life lay hold of the promise that seems to continue to elude you because you were found in blame and were disqualified to receive the inheritance.

This is a new season for you and the grace supplied you through these words will empower you to be alert and awake to righteousness and go on ahead and remain blameless before God and secure your God ordained inheritance in this year as Abraham went on to receive, as Sarah gave birth to Issac. The true promise of God of laughter and joy exploded in their house from henceforth with infallible proof of God’s ability demonstrated in their lives. This is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants for you at this time in Jesus name.Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He reminded me of the time when these below lessons changed my process and walk with Him that has blossomed in my ability to walk more circumspectly and proficiently in the realm of the spirit and gain triumph in more situations and events in my life. Let these words be a catalyst to supply the grace you need to prevail over the works of the enemy which are saying this year will be no different for you, from last year. As I know where to get you? As you let these words saturate your hearts and act upon them He will no longer find you in that place but hidden in the glory of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit says to you today do not fear to bring your weaknesses to Me and allow me to work them out of you. He pointed out to me that the enemy knows our weaknesses and uses it to his advantage but because we want to appear strong to people we seek to cover up the weakness with quoting scriptures while our enemy is conscious that we are not changed in that area and is able time and again to buffet and overcome us because we have not gained victory in that area.

Well the good news today from the Holy Spirit is that surrendering your weakness to Him means you permit Him the Lord to step in and help you overcome it and positions you in the Lord’s hand where you should always seek to be.

He reminded me that David said let me always fall into the Hand of the Lord but not into the hand of man, for man is wicked. Never fear to talk to the Holy Spirit about your weakness, He already knows it but it is for you to submit it and own up to it that makes you free because once you admit you have the problem and repent you can then receive the solution the Lord has for you. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the time He was speaking to me of being aware of the praise of men and at the time I had not had that much exposure to many people ministry wise and I would say to Him you know your servant and my commitment to you.

I did not realize at the time how that would impact me when now people were hooting for me and saying all wonderful things about how God was using me to help them and be such a blessing.

Well the Holy Spirit knew the future and was aware of how those commentaries of men would impact my walk with Him and was inviting me to deal with my weakness at the time with Him rather than be out and my shortcomings with the praise of men affect my hearing and receiving from the Lord because in truth whether man praises me or not my heart’s desire is to say only what the Lord wants and nothing less and that does not make me great because I only said what I received from Him not my own words, so really I have no credit because God revealed it and was just granted opportunity and honour to partake of His show.

I developed the reality that no good thing dwells in me and that without Him I am nothing so I give Him my weaknesses daily so I can gain His strength. This was the very pattern of life Jesus adopted and as He pointed out in John:5.30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

I understood that if the word of God Himself could not use who He was as the word of God on His discretion then certainly I could not ,so I learnt to surrender my weakness to Him because He already knew it but it was more important for me to know and recognise it so I could be free. He is already free.

I needed to know my limitations and draw on His strength and grace to live victorious and triumphant and that has been my way in Him daily. It is a daily walk and a discipline we cannot ever walk away from because if we do we die and cease to be in Him and as Jesus pointed out clearly the flesh profits nothing.

So no matter how large the transaction is in the flesh there will be no profit and the Lord wants us to be profitable in our lives with Him because everything in the Holy Spirit brings productivity and profit. Just think about it! Pause and reflect on it. What thing does God ask us to do that does not mean gain for us? In Prayer ask and we receive ,Give and we receive good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Fast so that God is blessed no ,our light springs forth,our skin comes forth like a baby fresh and new, things change for God no we have miraculous deliverance. The Lord needs no deliverance, we are the ones needing to be free.

Delight in the Lord take a sabbath with Him! and He benefits no we get to ride on the heights of the Earth and are fed from His hand with good things. Praise Him and he benefits! no He inhabits our praises and scatters our enemies. Worship Him and He is inflated with pride no! We see fullness of joy and from His Right Hand our enemies melt like wax at His Presence and answers come that defy all human understanding and wisdom.

Certainly that’s what we want so we choose on purpose to obey because He will always be faithful to do His part and come up trumps on our behalf. So today my beloved give the Lord your weaknesses and also your strengths and allow Him the right to govern your life by replacing your weakness with His strength.

Let satan not face you in your weakness which succumbs to him but in the Strength of the Lord that makes him flee in fear and terror because he can’t see you but the Lord fighting for and through you. Receive these grace filled words and be equipped for every good work the Lord has assigned for you to do in His Awesome Name.

It is time for you to reflect the glory of Jesus on the earth so arise today and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you in Jesus Name. Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He reminded me of the importance of the word of God being established in our hearts and us speaking it continuously over our lives as our source of strength. We must not neglect our time of meditating the word and allowing our lives to be washed by the water of the word.

In Ephesians.5:25-27 we read these words : Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

The Holy Spirit emphasized the importance of the word being the agency of cleansing and sanctification for the whole man which presents us holy and without blemish. We need to remain without blemish and our continued washing in the word of God is necessary for this to be maintained in our lives. In John.15:3 & 4 we read these words from Jesus : You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

Now just think of how much word Jesus has spoken over His disciples over the three year period and He points out they are now clean because of that bathing of that word spoken to them and over them by Jesus. Jesus however then stresses the importance of continuing this process of abiding in the word to be a bearer of fruit that is connected to the vine.

My beloved you see how important it is to remain saturated in the word and allow the word to wash you daily to maintain your cleansing and purity before the Lord. You would have noticed that I always share the scriptures the Holy Spirit brings to my mind each time when He speaks to me and confirms the word of instruction through truth.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and guides us into all truth. The easiest way for satan to derail our lives is get us out of truth into error and lies and down we will go. Truth of the word ensures we remain fruitful and faithful to the Lord who chose us to serve Him in spirit and truth.

Make it a practice this New Year of taking specific time to read and meditate the word of God on purpose daily and watch what will emerge in your relationship with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the time He instructed me to tell the people I was mentoring in a season to meditate on the psalms each morning for a month and the level of miraculous results each of them who obeyed had in their individual lives and that of their families because of this practice of meditating the word.

Remember that it is Jesus who said blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God in Matthew.5:8. The Lord is pure and holy and for us to draw near to Him we must be pure and holy and washed not in natural water but more so with the water of the word.

I found that from the day the Holy Spirit saved my life I had a strong desire to spend time in the word and get to know Jesus and my father and the Holy Spirit revealed to me later that I was experiencing the grace Peter spoke of in 1 Peter.2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. This process has continued to develop me until now as recorded in Hebrews.5:13&14 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

We go from glory to glory in the word as we mature into being able like our master Jesus to use the word skillfully as we partake more and more of the meat of the word.

The word is now the solid food of the word of righteousness which is necessary for me to partake of daily to keep my senses exercised to discern good and evil and also good from God. Believe me there is a difference as you walk more closely with the Lord.

We were never promised by the Lord that we would ever become masters, but effective disciples who reflect their Master in all things so we need to remain students of the truth and pursue it with all our hearts so the name of the Lord is glorified through our lives. Be encouraged to pursue the word daily and remain cleansed by the power of the word of God which will produce much fruit in your lives in Jesus name.

My prayer for you as you receive this word is that the grace to go in pursuit for the word will envelope you and propel you to make this pattern your practice in your daily living and expand out your productivity in the Kingdom for the glory of the name of Jesus. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He pointed out to me from Isaiah.54:4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.

This New Year day the Holy Spirit is saying that regardless of what was there previously from this day forward there is no reason to be afraid because the seasons of shame, disgrace and missing the mark and coming short of the promise are over and the rich fulfillment of the promises of the Lord to partake of His divine nature are real and ready to be walked out in your life.

A couple of years ago the Holy Spirit began sharing with me about ministering deliverance to His people and spoke of the removal of the shame and disgrace which His people were suffering. In Isaiah.25:8 we read these words :He will swallow up death forever. Adonai Elohim will wipe away the tears from every face, and he will remove from all the earth the disgrace His people suffer. For Adonai has spoken.

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that He the Lord was the One who saw how much His people were being dumped in seasons of shame and disgrace because of lack of knowledge and iniquity which they seemed unable to master and rule over. He the Lord was fed up of His people not reflecting what He had intended and purposed for their lives, but the picture of their enemy which reflected stealing, killing and destroying and shame and disgrace. This instead of the glory and grace which is what He the Lord called us to inherit and walk in.

Now when the Lord points out something that displeases Him, He takes clear action to remedy this problem and change the outcome to line up with His narrative in that matter. He pointed out it was not fitting for His people who are called by His name to be reflecting the nature and characteristics of satan and spoke of Him taking definitive action to remedy the situation and change the narrative to line up with His will for our lives which is glory and grace flowing in our lives.

As fear always draws satan towards us the Lord indicates that we should not fear but believe which is always how the Lord spoke when He approached anyone He chose to speak to in the Bible. The purpose of God indicating no more fear of shame and disgrace is because He wants us to put behind us the past reality of shame and disgrace to line up with the new picture He is going to bring to pass of glory and grace abounding in our lives.

The reality is that God was beginning to position my heart to focus and zero in on the things that brought people into shame and disgrace. The events we involve ourselves in. The thoughts we succumb to and the paths we choose to follow and the opportunities we accept which bring us into bondage rather than the promised result of a quick remedy which satan always offers in order to desensitize our emotions and intellect to agree to because of a promise of a lucrative outcome.

The Holy Spirit allowed me to transition out of many of these issues so the deliverance I would bring would have proven solutions rather than a theory people could follow. The Holy Spirit was working out these solutions in my personal life and the lives of others before releasing me to bring this word of deliverance to His People.

The Lord had given me a word that He was going to give me heavier equipment to deal with these issues some years before and the process was now in progress which He was confirming with the relevant signs following to prove the reality of the word. As you can see from His word to me this morning that the Holy Spirit wants to remove the trauma of the shame which has been there for years by you forgetting the pain and losses of that season as you experience a new glory and grace by the power of the Holy Spirit in real daily life events.

The Holy Spirit alone has the ability to cause you to forget painful events that happened in your past and replace them with new events clothed in glory. What the Holy Spirit does is to remove the feelings of being alone with no help to change the situation with miraculous events that clearly depict you are cared for and loved and honored as a result of communion with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit wants us resting in the promise He has for us functioning in His glory and grace fully submitted to all His divine power He makes available to us through our union with Him. So today let your hearts soar in the grace supplied through these words and move you into the full glory the Lord wants you to manifest of His nature and character for men to see and know that He is your forever God who cannot fail to deliver with His hand what His mouth promised you years ago.

It is a new day with new realities which you need to believe and receive in order to walk in the fullness of the Lord’s loyal love and faithfulness. Be stirred to action today and determine that on no single day will you fail in your solemn commitment to follow the Path the Holy Spirit sets before you to walk in full glory He presents before you to walk in to declare His faithfulness to demonstrate what He had promised you by His faithful hand.

Blessings to you on this first day of 2024 and may the Holy Spirit grace you to walk in closer communion and fellowship with Him so He can fulfill His will in your lives in Jesus name every day of this New Year in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that as we are on the verge of 2024 we need to ensure our footing is completely resting on what the Holy Spirit will do for us and not on our gifting and its ability to work for us which we are used to experiencing. Let these words from the Holy Spirit minister grace to you so you are in perfect mode in oneness with the Lord in relationship terms so your forward movement and progress are not hindered and hampered.

As I was concluding my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He then extended the time by asking me to share with you the process of transition in the Spirit realm that we need to embrace and not fight to see His glory manifested in our lives. I recall the time I entered a season where the Holy Spirit rolled out visions to me of all my events happening and it was as if every prayer I prayed was answered and I became so confident in it because it worked and became a little complacent because things were just happening.

It was as if I was seeing what God was doing and just repeating what I saw in real life and having the results of the vision. John.5:19 was in operation in my life : Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

Then the season ended and I was no longer having as many visions of events and I was becoming uncomfortable because it looked like God through the Holy Spirit was no longer there just working clock work for me.

However I realized as the time of transition went on I was becoming more aware and conscious of satanic strategies and schemes that looked so God breathed it needed careful discernment to recognize and detect it was satan speaking through even men of God who had track records of accuracy in receiving from God being used to throw me off the path and lead me to compromise and fall into temptation and then end up being dragged into places I had no business visiting.

The target was to defile the purity of my walk with the Lord and steal my ability to be fruitful and effective in working out answers to my prayers. My spiritual senses were being expanded by the Lord to see beyond the plain and over the mountain right through to the place of triumph regardless of any arising obstacles. However if I remained stuck in the vision realm alone I could be misled into paths that brought me back down to nothingness.

It was very real because the gift I had relied on did not seem to have the answer for the present reality and my relationship with the Lord was going to be needed desperately to guide me through in this present situation. In this season the Holy Spirit began teaching me about how men of God in the Bible had missed the end of their mission and how others succeeded when their gift came short because greater than the gift was required and their communion time with God brought them through and elevated them into greater realms of glory.

Let me share with you some of the scriptures the Lord used to awaken me to this reality and deliver me from many different situations that could have taken me out. Thank God for the work of grace the Holy Spirit makes available in our weaknesses.

In Daniel.2:4-6 we read these words : Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.” 5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap. 6 However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.”

What the King is requesting in this instance is a gift no human can ever possess because God does not give any human the control over what another receives and gives us a free will to choose. Now the Holy Spirit pointed out to me the gift Daniel had in Daniel.1:17: As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Now notice Daniel had the gift of understanding all visions and dreams but not receiving the dream. However in this situation as the King was not going to tell the dream Daniel’s gift of interpretation was going to be worthless.

It dawned on me that Daniel never reached his full potential on the basis of his gift but on His ability to converse with God and obtain an answer when death faced him that only God knew and would reveal to him. This enabled me to see that my gift was not the most important thing because what happens when more than your gift is required. Let’s follow through the story with Daniel.

In Daniel.2:16-19 we read these words : So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, 18 that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

What if Daniel had compromised those three years before by eating the food and drinking the wine which would defile them. Would he be able to call on God and receive this answer at this time when it went beyond his gift. Certainly not. You see I realized by the Holy Spirit that my constant communion with the Holy Spirit is far more important than my gift from Him because He is greater than the gift He gives and knows everything which is where Daniel lived.

Just look at the reward Daniel receives because of His commitment to communion with God. In Daniel.2:27 & 28 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. 28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these:

Daniel.2:46-49 shows us what the reward for walking with God brings in your life :Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him. 47 The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.” 48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. 49 Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

You know what I realized was that the transition into closer daily communion with the Lord far outweighed the visions I was receiving and the greater rewards of constant communion with the Holy Spirit made me appreciate the Holy Spirit more for not letting me settle with just the gift. You will also find that Joseph’s gift of dream interpretation did not give him success before Pharaoh but the answer of peace from the Lord.

Genesis.41:14-16 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.” 16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” Joseph had come to the place where he realized that his gift could not cut it and said it is not in me but God has a way and that brought him into prominence.

There are many more stories from the bible I can share that the Holy Spirit revealed to me that prove this fact and reality in God.However there is more than enough grace in these words to carry you through your transition and bring you to the side of triumph in the Lord. May you embrace these truths and repent of ever worshiping at the altar of your gift which God gave and return back to your place at the right hand of God from where you cannot be removed.

The gift can also fail you and you can disqualify yourself from the ability to operate in the gift through sin. Let the Holy Spirit have you back in communion and fellowship with Him so you can once again progress forward in Jesus name. Amen.

Keep hold of the disciplines and practice of taking time to seek the Lord and remain before Him regardless of how things look until He gives the answer of peace you need to come through. It will be your way out no matter what it appears to be in the now. Stay connected by continuous communion and fellowship with the Holy Spirit and embrace a way out into triumph. Let this be your goal and determined pursuit this year in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of the value of us remembering where He started us from and the importance of the foundation of His reality in our lives as this is the bedrock and foundation of our existence in Jesus. What men say of us as we expand in the things of the Kingdom and the miraculous is seen in our lives does not make us great but our continued pursuit of communion with the Holy Spirit and where He is leading keeps us at the forefront of what the Lord wants to achieve in our lives.

So today take time to ensure you are walking in step with the Holy Spirit and not drifting in the praise of men which is a snare. Allow these words to supply you grace to be in the centre of God’s will and off the side roads of life in the Holy Spirit and propel you into all the father has for you in this coming year

The Holy Spirit wants me to share further our need to trust more what He says for our lives than the things Mens experts say. In my time with the Holy Spirit I am only able to share part of the whole picture that He shares with me that is pertinent to what you would need to strengthen and equip you each day to take action to get back moving in the things of the Kingdom of Jesus and start bearing the fruit that Jesus pointed out we should have.

In John.15:8 we are told these words by Jesus. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. From these words we understand that Jesus expects that a disciple of His should be a fruit bearer.

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

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

Notice that everything Jesus asks us to do has a reward attached to it. He did not say follow Me and you will become a better person and that is sufficient. You will be able to catch men for the Kingdom. Your nature and character in following Jesus will change dramatically because you will become a worker of righteousness because He is righteous and hates lawlessness but the end result is that you will bring fruit into the Kingdom. Jesus works on our character and nature so that our spirits are connected to Him and not human nature or that of the devil.

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

I remember when I got saved in 1989 and had a passion for reading the bible and studying to know and understand what God required of me as a person to serve Him. As I grew in knowledge of the word People constantly told me I was a teacher of scripture and sought to give me titles, but the Holy Spirit said to me that I was only a follower of Jesus and would have in my life all that was needed to follow Him fully, as opposed to what men said I should have which would limit my service to Him and make me a man pleaser.

“We are called to follow Jesus and this process never comes to an end.”

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

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

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

This process went on to separate me from family and everything I held dear and of value in the natural and set me apart to a new way of thinking and doing things according to God’s pattern. Believe me they are completely different but, God’s ways bring freedom which remains and much fruit in life.

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

“We are trees of righteousness that bear fruits of righteousness, not gifts of gifts that produce lawlessness.” The planting of the Lord so He is glorified.

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

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

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

I thank God that the Holy Spirit said to me don’t take anything they say you are but just follow Me and let Me have My way in your life and whatever is necessary for peoples lives I will provide and you will continue to grow in the Lord and the power of His might.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will enable you to rise above the situations you are finding it difficult to separate from and make the necessary separation and be free to walk with the Holy Spirit and you will experience such freedom you will ask yourself why did I not do this earlier and saved myself so much pain and sorrow staying with what held me captive.

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

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