In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He spoke to me from Proverbs.17:3 which reads these words :In the same way that gold and silver are refined by fire,the Lord purifies your heart by the tests and trials of life.

Now the Holy Spirit firstly pointed out to me how He views our heart actions and decisions looking at the source from which we choose to take action. When we respond in the flesh we have chosen to side with the devil.

This is because we have yielded to the heart of man which according to Jeremiah.17:9 &10 :“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked;

Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heartI test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

Satan is the father of deceit and once we respond to deceit which the human heart loves we become subject to him and are in alliance with his thoughts and intentions which always bring destruction, though they promise you quick elevation and instant gratification for now which are lies. Remember the end of the flesh transaction is absolutely nothing, no profit.

We must be aware, vigilant and conscious of how we respond with our hearts hence the warning of the Lord to guard our hearts with all diligence in Proverbs.4:23 because from it flows our life consequences whether good or bad. The Holy Spirit then reminded me that He came to give us a new heart. That is the heart of Christ to enable us overcome the evil human heart which is subject to satan.

2 Corinthians.5:17 which reads :Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. The Lord has given us a new heart and the old heart has passed away so we must not then resort to the old wineskin/heart for advice, but yield to the new heart which is Christ in us the hope of glory not shame and disgrace.

When we ask the Holy Spirit how to respond rather than just quickly responding from our carnal minds we are able to act on what thus saith the Lord rather than our futile thoughts which bring death.

As Jesus mentioned in John.6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. Words the Holy Spirit speaks to you always bring life because they flow from the Lord who is life and resurrection life.

The Holy Spirit always raises the dead and calls things, that is non-existent things into existence so Jesus’s name is glorified. This is why we need to respond quickly to the voice of the Holy Spirit so we live the life God intended and purposed for us. Choose to refrain from responding according to how your heart feels about situations and submit to the grace the Holy Spirit supplies to you so you bring life everywhere you go.

I am reminded of the times I chose not to respond on matters that were demanding me to burst out in anger and bitterness which would have given satan legal rights to disqualify me from my portion of blessing in that season.

Let me also point out to you clearly that satan comes at the most vital and auspicious time with these provoking situations which seems to provide you the legitimacy to respond in the flesh. You will need to summon strength from within not to respond immediately but to yield to the peace the Holy Spirit makes available to you in that moment.

You need to train your heart not to explode because of circumstances that rile you to anger and find peace in the Holy Spirit and allow Him to respond through you. The Holy Spirit will always be there to help you but you must respond to Him by giving Him your heart and soul to have full control of you in these pressure moments.

My prayer for you this morning is that through these words you will receive the grace to overcome the weakness of your human heart and embrace the heart of the Holy Spirit and respond according to His dictates when you come under pressure to give in to the old dead man you were before.

Let the Holy Spirit come through you victoriously and put to shame the enemy who sought to rob you of this season of profit and benefits because you fell from grace. Let all that Jesus apportioned to you come to you this year and let your life reflect the glory of the Kingdom of Jesus in the manifestation of signs, wonders and miracles that demonstrate that Jesus is with you to the glory of His wonderful name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me to take time and go back to look and study through all the words He has given me over mornings each month and chart through the themes He has given for each month and listen for the instructions given so I am in step with what He has ordained for me to walk in.

It is truly remarkable to do this as each truth becomes much bigger and widens my discernment and understanding of the times to know how to walk in the ways of triumph the Holy Spirit had initiated many months ago which are absolutely relevant and necessary at this present time to achieve the triumph the Lord had planned and purposed for me.

May you as you hear these words find grace to position you into the necessary place and mindset that will cause you to triumph and be in the Bullseye of the will of Jesus for your lives in this year in Jesus name. Amen.

Today the Holy Spirit wants you to look at the things you need to stand against and never let rule or have dominion over you. There are facts of life that Jesus has paid for on your behalf that you have no business allowing them to rob you or threaten you or keep you in bondage by allowing them the right to master it over you. The Holy Spirit points out that there are things you must not allow to overcome you and suffer which Jesus has paid the price to free you from.

Let us look at 1 John.3:8 Which says these words: He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Now these words, to us, make us understand without a doubt the purpose of Jesus for our lives versus the purpose of satan against us.

Sin was initiated in man by satan when Adam submitted to the lie in the garden of eden and ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and since that time sin has been the dominant force against man run by satan to keep us bound and controlled by his wicked twisted heart.

Jesus though, which is what John wants us to know as a fact of life, not a promise we are hoping will come to pass in the future, is that the purpose of Jesus being manifested was to destroy the works of the devil or satan. What are the works of the devil that Jesus went about destroying?

“These are the things the Holy Spirit said we must not allow to rule or have a place in our lives because Jesus has already destroyed them and rendered them impotent against us.”

“Jesus on purpose went after the works of the devil and destroyed them so how can He who destroyed the work of satan then permit it on His beloved ones which we sometimes foolishly believe and accept when satan hits us with sickness, disease or any form of bondage and oppression.”

Just look at what Peter said in Acts.10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Look at the purpose and intent of Jesus in life He went about doing good not evil and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.

“This clearly shows us that oppression is caused and initiated by the devil not God so for that reason I need to refuse to accept any form of oppression in my life no matter how it manifests itself. “

“This is because Jesus went around showing by example that He had the power to destroy all forms of oppression set by the devil and free man from its control and that remains His legacy, policy and immutable counsel which we inherit as His followers.”

I recall the first day when I realized that sickness had no power over me and this truth that I am free from oppression became a reality in my life.

I had a headache and the Holy Spirit prompted me to tell it to leave my body as it had no right to oppress me, so I went on to rebuke it in Jesus name and it left me instantly and then tried to resurface again some minutes later as if to play with my mind as to whether it had really left, but again thanks to the Holy Spirit’s help He said speak to it that has no rights to trespass on my body and that settled that matter.

I have walked free of sickness and disease from then to now and rebuke any symptoms that seek to arise and refuse them the right to trespass on my body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit then took time to teach me how to deal with the contests that would emerge against my trust of God and question His authority over my life. Psalm.2 became the reality in my life to deal with what raged against my relationship with God and because it was a prophecy which Peter alluded to in Acts.4 when they prayed of how people with differences came together to stop and destroy the work of Jesus was fulfilled. I knew that such alliances would come together against me to stop the anointing in my life.

This understanding the Holy Spirit gave me enabled me to deal with all the schemes and strategies satan raised against me and taught me that Jesus wants us strong and of good courage and well able to stand our ground and take territory on His behalf.

The anointing was given to make us always triumph, barrier breakers, world overcomers, burden removers ,yoke destroyers who manifest God and His name on a daily persistent basis that prove that God rules in the affairs of men on earth.

“We are never to allow passivity to have a place in our lives as it is a sign of backsliding.” We are always to be forward moving, pressing into what God has in store ahead for us not behind us. The Lord wants us to be overcomers no matter what the situation is. In the book of Revelation Jesus speaks to seven churches and to each one with their different obstacles He still tells them you must overcome to get to the next level or position of authority.

You would have noticed from all my posts the Holy Spirit gives me. The Holy Spirit always requires you to do something to get you back active in God . Every instruction of the Holy Spirit is to get you back engaged in action to take more and get into movement that brings greater results.

So today as you have heard these words let the grace that comes with them have the place of victory in you and permeate your whole being to action to disallow any work of the devil from having any place or portion in your life any longer.

As it says of Paul and Barnabas they grew bold in Acts.13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

No more pandering morbidly around complaining at the oppression you are facing or suffering, but boldly saying you are leaving now as I will not tolerate you anymore hurting and harming me.

I rise up in the triumph Jesus has made available to me and resist all forms of oppression from the devil and move into the life of being free of the law of sin and death. I choose to walk in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets me free from the Law of sin and death. Oppression of the devil leave my presence now in Jesus name and never come back as I will not allow you place anymore to hurt me in Jesus name.

Watch how that oppression will diminish and become nothing before you as you take your stand in what Jesus did for you to experience and enjoy in life through His suffering on your behalf so you do not have to suffer it anymore.

Receive this word with your whole heart and don’t let it go of it no matter what tries to challenge it ,but remain steadfast and immovable in its reality and you will experience freedom of the highest order that puts you in the glory zone that God purposed for you to walk in in Jesus name. Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning the Holy Spirit spoke to me today about the importance of choosing to be cheerful regardless of the situation you find yourself in. We need to make the choice to be cheerful and the Holy Spirit will then give us the grace to walk in it. This is the first thing we need to do: make the choice which means we commit to the way of the Lord.

“Now first of all no situation should determine how you respond and react to what happens because life events are never to be the determinants of your conduct.”

“Spiritual maturity is birthed when no natural event affects the way you respond in any given situation no matter its impact on you.”

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the Apostle Paul on his journey to Rome in the book of Acts.27 & 28. The circumstances Paul faced were not determined by Paul because, if Paul had the choice of events he would not have proceeded on that journey because his foreknowledge of the events coming through the Holy Spirit would have made him not travel at that time to save himself loss.

I am so thankful for the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit in our affairs and circumstances in life.

Now as Paul did not choose the events which went on to happen we could say that if he was angry and responded rudely and abusive it would be justifiable because had he been listened to this level of trauma, hurt and loss they faced could have been avoided. Think of it fourteen days pitch black with no sun or moon or stars not knowing when day broke being tossed on the sea in a ship, with that level of wind.

No wonder the people concluded that any hope of making it out was lost and knew death was inevitable.

In that situation we find Paul still cheerful and bubbly, offering a solution to the devastating situation and giving hope that they will come out victorious with no loss of life, but only the ship. Then landed on an Island safely because he had a visitation from an angel of the Lord whom he served faithfully telling him what would go on to happen, even though nothing in the circumstances had changed yet.

Paul chose to remain cheerful and bubbly in that situation regardless of who caused it because his life was not dependent on what had happened but was hidden in Christ Jesus whom he served and only that relationship with Christ was going to affect his life. Since Jesus said Paul will live, that was going to happen and everything was going to line up with that reality.

As the Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning we need to choose to be cheerful regardless because nothing can separate us from the love of God working for and in us.

“So we have no need to be depressed and worried and upset by anything because we have endless eternal life working on our behalf so we cannot but succeed because our Lord will bring us out triumphant and victorious.”

“Therefore today as you hear these words of truth, submit to the truth and lay down the lie and choose to be cheerful and bubbly again and allow the joy of the Lord to spring up in you afresh and come out of every threatening situation with an outburst of joy unspeakable full of glory.”

“Experience the awesome power of the Most High working for you.”

Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice in the Lord and be consumed in His cheerfulness and say bye bye to sorrow and sighing and watch what the Holy Spirit will do on your behalf that will bring honor and glory to the name of Jesus.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He spoke about aligning to His will so we go on to inherit in this year our destiny and become partakers of the divine nature of God on earth that men can see and glorify His name because we have become symbols and banners of who Jesus is. He wants to show through us the exceeding riches of His grace in Kindness towards us in practical reality to expand His Kingdom on earth. So receive these words today and allow the grace supplied through them to empower to walk in this reality in Jesus name. Amen

The Holy Spirit spoke to me from Proverbs:2.21 which reads For all my godly lovers will enjoy life to the fullest and will inherit their destinies. He reminded me that His purpose in my life is to bring me to the point where I inherit my destiny in this world and experience the good life the Father has prepared for me in its fullest measure. So each day He works with us to position us in a place where we can experience the good works He purposed for us to do and partake of God’s Divine nature.

He reminded me that in 1 Peter:1.4-5 that we have been born again into an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and that never fades away, that is reserved for us in heaven who are kept by our trusting, for a deliverance ready to be revealed.

Now the Holy Spirit was preparing my heart to lay hold of every benefit He has in store for me today and was reminding me that my inheritance, destiny in Him is not subject to anybody or thing on earth and it cannot be corrupted or be defiled and never fades into insignificance. It remains protected in God and I can apply for the deliverance reserved for me that is available to lay hold of it in the now from the Throne of grace.

That is why I must pay close attention to what the Holy Spirit guides and leads me to because in Him alone can I go on to reap the inheritance. The Holy Spirit knows exactly where the inheritance is and will guide me to the place of harvest. I need to train my heart to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit daily so I know what to do. He reminded me of the day in the natural world when I received the inheritance my natural dad left for me. He said who prepared and made that money available to me? Was it work I did?

Certainly not, it is what my dad made available to me from his work that I was now going to enjoy because I was one of his sons and was destined by him to receive my portion of his money set aside for us. Now the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that if this is what a human would do for his children then how much more would He God give us the inheritance He has stored up for us and manifest it in our lives.

Well I got the money and was able to do many things I could not before. What could possibly disqualify me from His promise.That is why we are told that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance.

I can hinder myself so I am out of position to receive my inheritance. I can also go where it is not and miss out but if I follow the Holy Spirit, I can be led back to the path of life where the inheritance is situated and receive it when I claim it in Jesus Name through the help of the Holy Spirit. God will not change His mind so satan has to deceive me to walk out of position to rob me of my right.

As I meditated on that reality I started rehearsing all the words God has given me over the years and started calling in my provision and supply of all I need for my life and Godliness and all resources necessary to accomplish the plan God has for my life to reach the Nations with the message of the Kingdom and raise Ensigns for Him.

I encourage you to take these words and remind yourselves who called and ordained you and the inheritance He has prepared for you and get off the mat of insufficiency and lack and begin to experience the good life God has prepared and arranged for you to have here on earth.

Remember Jesus came that you might have life and life in its fullest measure so go on and experience life. Throw off the accusation of the enemy and say my Heavenly Father who owns all things has left me an inheritance and I am cashing it now and using the proceeds in the now for everything that pertains to my life and godliness,so watch me succeed and flourish and blossom and gain everything my Father destined for me to have in Jesus Name. Amen. Arise and go forward in this might in Jesus Name. Amen.

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.
