TODAY’S DEVOTION (MONDAY 10TH JULY 2023)**
“You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths drip with abundance. They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.” Psalms 65:11-13 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 191st DAY OF OUR YEAR OF SIGNS AND WONDERS.
We thank God for the broadcast yesterday. Indeed, whenever Jesus is lifted up, He will draw all men unto Himself. I have never seen such a move of God in an international broadcast. Yes, we have seen moves that stunned us, but this one was on another level.
I can tell, Christ does not want us to be talking about any other thing but Himself. He has been so wrongly represented that Heaven wants Him alone to be our message. Whoever aligns with Him and allows Him alone to be his message, will see the moves of the Spirit of God in amazing proportions.
I want to appreciate all who sent money for the broadcast. Our crowns in heaven will not be few. May our labor of love and sacrifice be a memorial before God for us, in Jesus’ precious name. Amen
Today God has a word for us. We are gradually moving from truth dimension to truth dimension, on matters of our divine destiny.
Yesterday we saw truths on righteousness. No one can actualize their divine destiny without living right. The Bible says, *“Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death” (Proverbs 11:4). *If we make right standing with God or right living, a priority in the pursuit of our divine destinies, we will remain alive in God and kicking in the Holy Ghost.
The Bible says right living delivers from death; that is spiritual, moral, or even natural. We need to stay alive in spirit, in moral excellence, and naturally, until our days are fulfilled on earth. Righteousness or right living, has a way of helping us do that.
I pray that we all yield to the LORD, embrace right living, and fulfill our destinies in Jesus’ precious name. Amen!
The scripture of our devotional text this morning was just a scripture many years ago, but now it has become a reality in my life. I believe you can identify with me on that. For 191 days this year alone, we all have seen God’s goodness and mercy surround us, our families, biological and spiritual Children, and the ministry or other things Heaven has committed into our hands.
We have seen the goodness of the LORD defeat the plans and purposes of evil and aggrieved people – things maliciously cooked against us. We have tasted the abundance of God’spresence, dripping Heavenly things upon us, resulting in miracles, signs, and wonders in our lives.
AS CHILDREN OF GOD, WE HAVE NEVER LACKED HIS MANIFEST PRESENCE.
That is something to thank God for because it is not because we are holier than others. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and sin is living in all of us, though not all of us are living in it. It is because of His great name that His presence is active in our lives*.*
To Him belong all the glory in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
Let me begin on a prophetic note. Something is happening in the church today. Things that our Bible fathers spoke about years back. If you have eyes you can see that some of the things that took place in the early church are taking place in our days. But they are at the beginning stages.
Things like the revival of righteousness that made people abandon empty religion and witchcraft practices, and embraced the LORD, are beginning to happen globally, but in very small forms.
We are beginning to see sparks that will soon become an inferno of an end-time revolution, that will bring into being an emergence of the glorious church. A church without money-making games, man-made doctrines, hero worship, charismatic witchcraft, heresies, falsehood, and deception. A church that will be fair as the moon, clear like the Sun, and terrible like an army with banners.
When what is coming comes and hits everyone, people will turn away from money-making preachers, altar-raising apostles and prophets, seed-sowing inducements, and any preacher who has no true message from the LORD, diviners, and witch doctors called ministers of God, and they will burn books, DVDs, CDs, and all kinds of material they got from their fountains.
God is moving a few of His servants to speak words of truth and reason, which are getting people to know how much they have been deceived.
He is tearing the veil of religion off the minds of His people the way He did in the days of our fathers when He confronted false prophets and teachers. For instance, He moved Paul in his days, and the man of God stepped into a region that was taken over by religious cults and witchcraft and completely brought the gates of hell down.
THERE ARE SOME HE IS MOVING TO DO THE SAME IN OUR AGE AND TIME.
When Paul was moved, the result he got for the kingdom of God was amazing. The Bible says God used him to teach and demonstrate the apostolic doctrine for two whole years in that region, and when the people saw how the true God broke out among them, they burnt all the books they bought from the wrong ‘ministries,’ so to speak.
They burned magical books they had taken for miracle books, and turned to the LORD. The Bible put what happened this way;
“Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.” Acts 19:19-20 NKJV
I perceive the Church in Kenya is experiencing its own piece of what the LORD is doing globally.
When you take Charismatic magical books for God’s miracle books, you will be booked for seasonal afflictions and curses.
A lady who had all the books written by certain preachers in Nairobi came to my office at one time, in tears. She was sharing and demonstrating how helpless the books had been to her.
The books were full of New Age doctrines and all forms of humanistic Philosophies. No one helped her!
Friend, if you take books filled with charismatic witchcraft and sorcery for miracle books, you will have yourself to blame while the authors smile to the bank! Do not take charismatic magical books for miracle books! You will mourn if you do.
This lady and many others who bought those books, taking them for gospel books, realized the errors in them and how helpless they have been in their lives, especially in matters of eternal life and relationship with Christ. Some of them are now burning the books like the believers in the days of the apostle Paul did.
There was a case where one of the accursed preachers who wrote the one a lady bought and later gave it the Acts 19 treatment, threatened her.
The man threatened her when he heard the lady gave it the Acts 19 treatment.
I have also seen some of the accursed preacher’s spiritual kids fight back by taking some of our books that exposed their lies and deception and burning them. That is how the devil behaves.
He does that to put what is God and what is his at the same level. But God always comes through to show Himself mighty.
CHILD OF GOD, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WANTS TO REMOVE THE CHAFF IN THE CHURCH AND PUT A BLESSING UPON GOD’S PEOPLE.
He wants to change the polluted doctrines God’s people have been feeding on. He wants to give them sound doctrines. Our divine destinies will need sound doctrine to be fulfilled.
The Bible says;
“When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.” Psalm 114:1-2 NKJV
Many in the body of Christ have come out of the Egypt of a sinful life, but sinful living has not come out of them. Hence there is no presence of God in their lives. This is because of the wrong doctrines they have been feeding on. God wants to change that! He wants to change everything. That is why He is teaching the Church the mystery of the covenant.
Books on the covenant, captured according to sound doctrine, the doctrine of Christ, are the most important books to read in days of God’s glory because the covenant will not just bless you. It will make you a blessing!
That is why if you want to move from being a curse to becoming a blessing, you do not need to drink oil or sow a seed to one prophet or prophetess. You do not need to carry anyone to your village to uproot anything with or without a fee. You do not need to use water, candles, salt, or whatever to pray. You just need to ride on covenant wings!
The most accurate will of God for your life is not just to bless you, but to make you a blessing.
Yes, God’s utmost desire is to display the riches of His mercies, the riches of His grace, and the riches of His glory in and through us. We become a blessing to those around us when that happens.
As I stated in our book “Riding on Covenant Wings,” it is important for the elects to understand that faith brings the miraculous, and the anointing brings the blessing because it breaks yokes and lifts burdens. But it is the glory that brings the covenant because it sets men aside for God to be God!
THE COVENANT IS WHERE GOD WILL HIDE YOU ANYTIME HE WANTS TO DEMONSTRATE HIS GLORY IN YOUR LIFE!
*That is what makes the covenant stronger that the MIRACULOUS and even THE BLESSING.* It is a man in a covenant that unlocks the miraculous and releases blessings on others. Abraham in covenant, released blessings on Lot. Jacob in Covenant released blessings on his children before he died. Moses in covenant reverses the curse on Ruben. It is men in a covenant that reverse curses.
If you want to reverse any curse in your life, do not sow a seed, ride on covenant wings. Get that book and know how to do so! Do not forget, apart from sound doctrines, our divine destiny will need covenant-keeping to be fulfilled.
A man in the covenant is a man in proper order and will be able to fulfill his destiny. He can activate the riches of God’s mercy by faith, and bring the miraculous to people. He can also activate the riches of God’s grace because He is operating in the riches of His glory. I hope you understand me.
God wants us to be a blessing to people, not a burden. But that can only happen when we come to the place of the covenant, where we can operate in the riches of His glory, and activate the riches of His mercies and the riches of His grace upon people.
Sadly, many are burdens instead of a blessing to people – even ministers of the gospel. They activate a mess in people and make them lament through life. That is not the will of God. I prefer being a blessing to people than being in need of miracles and becoming a burden.
You can never be a blessing to people until you start “Riding on Covenant Wings!” Being a blessing places one in a dimension where he or she will not need miracles. Miracles are needed by people in crises. Being a blessing erases crises in your life, but becoming a covenant man empowers you to put blessings on people.
THE COVENANT WILL MAKE GOD SIT OVER YOUR LIFE, QUENCH CRISES, AND BLESS OTHERS THROUGH YOU.
When God sits over your life, the riches of His glory will come upon you. When the riches of His glory come upon you, you can activate the riches of His mercies and the riches of His grace upon others and be able to bring them out of damnable circumstances. You can turn battles to the gate and become a blessing to those around you.
The best way to wrap up this devotional word is to show you how God made Judah His sanctuary and Israel His dominion. He did that by bringing them out of Egypt; a people of strange language. That is very profound. It holds a lot of truths for the end time Church, however, there is no space to fully explain.
One thing that is clear is this; except to purge you, God will never sit over your life to use you and bless others if you are still trapped in sin and sinful conduct. At best, He will sprinkle some grace on you through men who stand before Him to bring you out. If you resist coming out, you will remain a burden in the lives of people, and never come to the realm of being a blessing.
We must first come out of Egypt and the strange things from there that are still settling in our lives for God to sit on us and display the riches of His mercies, grace, and glory in and through us.
