Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Glory be to God & the Father of our Lord Jesus for His great faithfulness in bringing us gradually to the end of this month & the first quarter of this great & wonderful year!

I am persuaded that the remaining few hours to the close of this month & quarter will deliver our programmed blessings, including your TOTAL HEALTH, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I have Jesus’ joy in bringing to you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today.

As long as there is life & breath within us, our Father desires that we keep serving Him just as we maintain the fire of our LOVE for Him & our neighbour.

Actually, He desires that our service to Him in all realms should be on the increase, also.

Just as wine gets better, becomes vintage with age, He desires that our walk with & work for Him should be better in quality & abound in quantity with knowledge & good understanding – 1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Also, we read the testimony of the Thessalonian Church as recorded in 2 Thessalonians 1.3(Amplified version):
“We ought and indeed are obligated [as those in debt] to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing exceedingly and the love of every one of you each toward the others is increasing and abounds”.

When you link this verse with 1 Thessalonians 1.3(Amplified version):
“Recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith and service motivated by love and unwavering hope in [the return of] our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)”, you’ll discover that where “faith” is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 1.3, it is in connection with “work energized by faith” as stated in 1 Thessalonians 1.3.

The point is that this Thessalonian Church is noted for their abounding walk with & work for the Lord.

Our Lord Jesus gave full expression to this truth when He Himself also testified of the Church at Thyatira, as Apostle John recorded in Revelation 2.18-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
“To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: “`This is what the Son of God says–He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze”.

“I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first”.

The Amplified version puts it like this – Revelation 2.18-19:
“And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, Who has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white-hot bronze”:

“I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones”.

That’s your Lord & my Lord, your Master & my Master commending His children at Thyatira for the increase that heaven noticed about their relationship & service.

May He say the same thing about you & I also, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

When we increase in this dimension, we’re also assured of our abundant rewards, Hebrews 6.10(Amplified version):
“For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name ‘s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do”.

Also, as earlier stated in 1 Corinthians 15.58(Amplified version):
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]”.

Our Father Himself promised us as recorded in Genesis 15.1(Amplified version):
“After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great”.

Our Lord & Saviour equally reassures us in Revelation 11.18(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
“The nations grew angry, and Thine anger has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time for Thee to give their reward to Thy servants the Prophets and to Thy people, and to those who fear Thee, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth”.

We see it in the Amplified version like this, Revelation 11.18:
“And the heathen (the nations) raged, but Your wrath (retribution, indignation) came, the time when the dead will be judged and Your servants the prophets and saints rewarded – and those who revere (fear) Your name, both low and high and small and great – and [the time] for destroying the corrupters of the earth”.

In my own life, by God’s grace, since I encountered 1 Corinthians 15.58 in 1997, in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, when a man of God used it in His message, I’ve seen our Father’s faithfulness abound with ease & peace as my correct & right affection for & commitment to Him abounds.

Good things happen easily & cheaply, & even as I am thinking of some things, they manifest in colours.

For instance, when our first child & daughter was to get married some few years ago, the notice given was quite short, just about three months, & in faith, our finances were quite much, nevertheless, taking stock after the event(nothing was purchased on credit), there was abundant supply of everything, finance & materials.

To Jesus alone be all the glory!

Beloved, never allow the devil in any form to make you think you’ve arrived in your walk with & service to the Lord or discourage you by any seemingly dissatisfied response you’re expecting from the Lord.

Learn to judge Him faithful & He’ll prove Himself faithful in your life.

All you need to do is to take grace – Hebrews 12.28(KJV):
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”.

May the Lord give you good understanding, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Be sure to take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow in Church & you’ll be very glad you did!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

THE BLESSINGS OF TOTAL HEALTH – 4

Yesterday, in our Glory to Glory Word Hour, at KDCG, we considered 2 more blessings of Total Health in this concluding part of the teaching series that we started at the beginning of the month.

My prayer is that now that you know these major blessings, you’ll take advantage of what it takes to get the blessings as you live in Total Health the remaining days of your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

1. When you’re living in Total Health, more people will believe the Gospel of Christ, the Word of God & also receive Jesus as Saviour & Lord – Acts 8.5-7(KJV):
5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them”.

6 “And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did”.

7 “For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed”.

There are some people, just as Jesus said, that except they see the proof of what is being preached, they won’t believe & accept Jesus – John 4.48(KJV):
“Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe”.

When people see you living in Total Health & you share your testimonies with them, they’re compelled to accept as truth what you’re telling them.

Our Lord Jesus encountered such opposition but His undisputable proofs silenced them – Luke 4.23:
“And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country”.

He also told them, in John 14.30(KJV):
“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me”.
This means that the author of sicknesses & sufferings couldn’t force those evils on Him!

As you abide in the Word being motivated by Love, you won’t know sicknesses & sufferings in your life again, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

2. The experience of Total Health creates the atmosphere of joy in the environment – Acts 8.8:
“And there was great joy in that city”.(KJV)

Satan never wants people joyful & happy in the Lord but that’s exactly what our Father wants!

That’s why the Gospel is interpreted as “Good News”, what you hear & experience that fills your heart with joy & gladness!

We as heaven’s representatives are to spread the good news with divine ability & authority!

While on the missionary journey in Langtang, on the plateau in Nigeria, the Lord moved so mightily that the Galadima(second in command to the king)of the town was coming to church, who told the king about the Gospel, the inherent power & us, His servants, & we were subsequently invited to the palace, & he, the king requested that we should regularly serve him the Communion.

When people are being saved genuinely & receiving deliverance & getting healed by the power of God’s Word & His Holy Spirit, joy is going to be resultant effect, & remember, the Kingdom that we’re representing is in joy – Romans 14.17:
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost”.(KJV)

No wonder then, virtually everywhere Jesus gets to, no matter how saddening the situation is, He’ll always tell the prospective beneficiary to cheer up.

His mission & ours by Him is to ensure that as many as receive & believe on His Name have a glorious change of story – John 1.12(Amplified version):
[12]”But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name”–[Isa. 56:5.]

How Do You Get These Blessings?
1. Be conscious always, be assured that you possess the Life of your heavenly Father, the same Life that Jesus has, so that you can promptly react against anything contrary to that Nature in & around your life, including your health – 1 John 5.13; & 1 Timothy 4.8:
1 John 5.13(Amplified version):
[13]”I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life”.

1 Timothy 4.8(KJV):
“For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come”.

Godliness is God’s Life, Eternal Life, God’s Nature Who was imparted to you when you received Jesus into your life as Saviour & Lord – John 17.2-3(Amplified version):
[2]”[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him”.

[3]”And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent”.

This Heavenly Nature is immuned against ALL evils & ALIVE for ALL BLESSINGS, including Total Health!

As you live & walk in the consciousness of who you are in Christ, powers of darkness will surrender to your authority, & this will remain your testimony, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I am so thrilled to bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today!

Glory! Halleluyah!

There is a common saying in the South West of Nigeria that when a child trips & falls down, he simply gets up & continues his walk but when an adult trips & falls, he gets up to check what happened before going on.

Beloved, it is wisdom to access how you’re doing in life by taking stock periodically, by that, you’ll know certainly if you’re on track or not.

Don’t just live life, accepting what comes your way, no, you must be definite, purposeful, determined, deliberate & well cultured in your approach to life!

Didn’t you hear what Jesus said in John 4.32,34-38(KJV):
[32]”But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of”.

[34]”Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work”.

[35]”Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest”.

[36]”And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together”.

[37]”And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth”.

[38]”I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours”.

Those are not statements of a careless man but of a calculated man!

Did you read Apostle Paul when he wrote in,1 Corinthians 3.10 that:
[10]”According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon”.

Can you discern a language & style of healthy calculation?

When you handle life as such, you cheaply disarm the powers of darkness, your HEALTH will be sound, you’ll be happy & well!

Let me show you now how you move on there.

You see, it’s not just calculating, it is going according to His terms.

If things are not going on well, please check if you’re still in His terms, & the first thing to check is your LOVE meter, what is it reading: low or high?

Now, read this directly from His blessed mouth, in Revelation 2.1-7(KJV):
[1]”Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks”;

[2]”I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars”:

[3]”And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted”.

[4]”Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love”.

[5]”Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”.

[6]”But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate”.

[7]”He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God”.

In this Church, they were working for Him, serving Him very well, even loving what He loves & hating what He hates, yet He’s warning them to get back to base, in fact, he told them they have dropped, what?!!!

With all the acknowledgment of their efforts in His service, He showed them that they’ve gone far from Him by leaving their first LOVE!

He now asked them to remember where they started from & get back there, to do the FIRST works else, all their labour will be in vain.

It comes out too plainly in the Weymouth’s New Testament translation – Revelation 2.1-7:

2:1 “To the minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: “`This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says–He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands of gold”.

2 “I know your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars”.

3 “And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary”.

4 “Yet I have this against you–that you no longer love Me as you did at first”.

5 “Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place–unless you repent”.

6 “Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate”.

7 “`Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God’ “.

Beloved, your labour in the Lord won’t be in vain, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

He told them that they’ve left their FIRST LOVE & they should do the FIRST WORKS!

What’s the FIRST LOVE?

He asked Peter in John 21.15-17(KJV):
[15]”So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs”.

[16]”He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep”.

[17]”He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep”.

Looking at those three questions, they actually mean the same thing but He asked thrice for emphasis sake.

We have often thought that seeking or loving Him above things is the key to stop suffering but here, we see that it is not.

Loving Him above people, LOVING HIM above other relationships is His desire for each & every one of us in His Body!

In Matthew 6.33, we see that we should LOVE Him above things:
Matthew 6.33(KJV):
[33]”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.

In Hebrews 6.10, we also see that we should LOVE Him by ministering to the saints:
Hebrews 6.10(KJV):
[10]”For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister”.

However, in John 21.5-7, He comes out so clearly that our LOVE for Him should supersede that of any other relationship.

As a matter of fact, the basis of service, which is to feed the flock, as He ordered in John 21.5-7, should be because we LOVE Him, because we’re so intimate with Him, we have become one with Him, we know what He wants & why He wants what He wants!

Thank God for service but much more than that, our PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP MUST BE INTACT, ON FIRE!

You can be serving Him with wrong motives but you can’t LOVE Him RIGHTLY & not serve Him correctly!

That’s the message He was passing across to Peter & by extension, all of us in His Body.

He is saying to you & I, LOVE Me more than position, LOVE Me more than title, LOVE Me more than recognition, LOVE Me more than rewards, LOVE Me more than the things that accompany salvation, LOVE Me more than even yourself!

He told Peter what to do, to FEED THE FLOCK but He asked him to do something FIRST, He asked Peter to FIRST FOLLOW HIM, that is, LOSE YOURSELF, TAKE ME IN.

Now, Peter got it…

Did you notice from then on that Peter’s lifestyle depicted someone who cares less about every other thing about himself but his Lord?

He soaked in Jesus completely & I tell you, he got Jesus COMPLETELY!

In His days, people need to touch Jesus’ garments to be healed but they were putting the infirmed & the invalid at a position where the shadow of Peter would fall on them & they were healed!

The FOLLOWER IS THE ONE WHO THE LORD WILL MAKE.

Each person He called, He told them to FOLLOW Him.

David cried that his soul is after God – Psalm 42.1-2(KJV):
[1]”(To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER thee, O God”.

[2]”My SOUL THIRSTETH FOR GOD, FOR THE LIVING GOD: when shall I come and appear before God”?

He cried again in Psalm 63.1(KJV):
[1]”(A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my SOUL thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is”;

The soul of man is the seat of will, desire, affections & emotions, that part of man that takes decisions.

He couldn’t do without God!

All his decisions were for God.

And God testified about him in Acts 13.22(KJV):
[22]”And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a MAN AFTER MINE OWN HEART, which shall fulfil all my will”.

Jesus was laying hands on people to be healed but his LOVER, Apostle Paul would send handkerchiefs & aprons from his body to the oppressed & sick, & demons were flying away & the sick were getting healed!

LOVE AT WORK!

Why are you relating with people – to get what they have or to notice you or to HELP them REFLECT Christ?

To help people reflect Christ should be a target but your PRIME target should be to REFLECT CHRIST by FOLLOWING Him, then you can help others in REFLECTING Him.

Apostle Paul brought it to light when he said in Acts 20.28(KJV):
[28]”TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO YOURSELVES, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood”.

Check YOURSELF FIRST WITH JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ANY OTHER PERSON OR ANY OTHER THING, he meant to say.

Peter himself put it more clearly, as we see in 1 Peter 5.1-3(KJV):
[1]”The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed”:

[2]”Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a READY MIND”;

[3]”Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ENSAMPLES(EXAMPLES) to the flock”.

“Ready mind”, “ensamples”(examples) – YOU FIRST IN YOUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!

Please, beloved, check the reading of your LOVE meter with the Lord Jesus & heaven will be a reality perpetually in your life without sicknesses, sorrows or suffering, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Your Blessing Today…

Better than good greetings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I believe you’re celebrating, & in Total Health already according to the Word of our God…, the celebration will be unending, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

I bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today.

Beloved, please understand that destinies aren’t grounded because the force of gravity is stronger than the force of destiny but destinies are grounded because people don’t know the way up!

Your case, including your TOTAL HEALTH, has been predetermined, ordained, concluded in Jesus Christ before the world began, to be glorious, golden & royal – Romans 8.28-32(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
28 “Now we know that for those who love God ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate PURPOSE He has called”.

29 “For those whom He has KNOWN BEFOREHAND He has also PRE-DESTINED to bear the likeness of His Son, that He might be the Eldest in a vast family of brothers”;

30 “and those whom He has PRE-DESTINED He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also CROWNED WITH GLORY”.

31 “What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side, who is there to appear against us”?

32 “He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not also with Him FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS”?

Romans 8.28-32(Amplified version):
28 – “We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called ACCORDING TO [HIS] DESIGN and PURPOSE”.

29 – “For those whom He FOREKNEW [of whom He was aware and loved BEFOREHAND], He also DESTINED from the beginning [FOREORDAINING THEM] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren”.

30 – “And those whom He thus FOREORDAINED, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also GLORIFIED [RAISING them to a HEAVENLY DIGNITY and condition or state of being]”.

31 – “What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]”

32 – “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things”?

As a matter of fact, verse 32 should have read:
32 – “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, HAS He not also with Him freely and graciously GIVEN us all [other] things”? since in Christ Jesus, we have been MADE COMPLETE – Colossians 2.9:
9 “For it is in Christ that the fulness of God’s nature dwells embodied, and in Him YOU ARE MADE COMPLETE”,

You see, beloved, our heavenly Father in His Love & Wisdom ordained Jesus Christ to be our Instrument of RECREATION, so that as members of God’s great & gigantic family, we have ALL that He has – Philippians 2.5-11; & Romans 8.16-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
Philippians 2.5-11:
5 “Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus”.

6 “Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped”.

7 “Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men”.

8 “And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross”.

9 “It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other”,

10 “in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld”,

11 “and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father”.

Romans 8.16-19:
16 “The Spirit Himself bears witness, along with our own spirits, to the fact that we are children of God”;

17 “and if children, then heirs too–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; if indeed we are sharers in Christ’s sufferings, in order that we may also be sharers in His glory”.

18 “Why, what we now suffer I count as nothing in comparison with the glory which is soon to be manifested in us”.

19 “For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God”.

In this new heavenly dignified position that we are in Christ, we are expected to take charge of life, not life taking charge or advantage of us.

We are to put the powers of darkness in their defeated & subdued state where Christ settled them in His finished works on the Cross & His resurrection from the dead – Ephesians 3.10(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
10 “concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God’s wisdom”.

Ephesians 3.10(Amplified version):
10 “[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere”.

Beloved, the Body of Christ on the earth, in this world, are to enforce the reality of heaven on earth!

You & I don’t belong any longer to the powers of darkness since we’ve accepted Jesus as Daddy’s LOVE GIFT, as Saviour & Lord of our lives – Colossians 1.13(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

13 “It is God who has delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us into the Kingdom of His dearly-loved Son”,

We’re now in the Kingdom of Christ where Light rules & shines & darkness can’t find us out to do us any evil again, where WE HAVE BECOME IMPOSSIBLE CASE FOR THE POWERS OF DARKNESS – John 1.5(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

5 “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it”.

In this triumphant regard, One Force  that He has given us is the Force of His Own Nature – the Force of LOVE! Ephesians 3.17,19(Amplified version):
17 – “May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love”,

19 – “[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]”!

Ephesians 3.17(KJV):
[17]”That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that YE, BEING ROOTED and GROUNDED in love”,

Beloved, when you’re ROOTED & GROUNDED IN LOVE, YOU’RE ROOTED & GROUNDED IN GOD & CHRIST, & WHERE THEY ARE IS WHERE YOU ARE, FAR ABOVE ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS – Ephesians 1.20-21(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
20 “when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms”,

21 “high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come”.

Ephesians 2.6(KJV):
[6]”And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”:

When you’re ROOTED & GROUNDED IN LOVE, YOUR DESTINY CAN’T EVER BE GROUNDED!

Living & Walking the LOVE LIFE is ALL you need to be ABOVE ALL POWERS OF DARKNESS!

That’s your nature, that’s your life, that’s who you are! 1 Timothy 4.8(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):
8 “Train yourself in godliness(Love). Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness(Love) is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming”.

Can you see that, beloved? Godliness – Loveliness – POSSESSES…the PROMISE of Life NOW & of the Life which is soon coming!

1 Timothy 4.8(KJV):
[8]”For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS(LOVELINESS) is PROFITABLE UNTO ALL THINGS, HAVING PROMISE OF THE LIFE THAT NOW IS, and of that which is to come”.

In 1 John 4.8,16, we know that God is Love(Amplified version):
8 – “He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love”.

16 – “And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him”.

Some few years ago, we had a neighbour who took it upon himself & the wife to malign us in the church.

Of course, as expected, the relationship was obviously strained but on a certain day, I heard a teaching on love & forgiveness.

When I got home, I went to their apartment, met the wife & apologised for the strained relationship, deliberately accepting the fault & blame for everything, & that I did in the presence of a guest of theirs who I met there!

That was on a Sunday evening, by the following Saturday evening, my glorious, golden & royal destiny & purpose opened up colourfully & it has remained open ever since.

You know our Lord Jesus said in Revelation 3.7(Amplified version):
7 – “And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who OPENS and NO ONE SHALL SHUT, Who SHUTS and NO ONE SHALL OPEN”:

When you attempt to open what He has shut, won’t you be grounded & anyone who attempts to shut what He has opened, won’t that person also be grounded?

Now, read what He writes to everyone of His children, ALL of us, you & I LIVING & WALKING IN HIS LOVE – Revelation 3.8-11(Amplified version):
8 – “I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. SEE! I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU A DOOR WIDE OPEN WHICH NO ONE IS ABLE TO SHUT; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name”.

9 “Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie – behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you”.

10 “Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth”.

11 – “I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown”.

Did you see all of that? simply by GROUNDING YOURSELF IN HIS LOVE, He will ensure that whatever & whoever(from anywhere) sent & set to ground you is GROUNDED FOR YOU!

Psalm 27.1-6(Amplified version):

1 “[A Psalm] of David.
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation – whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid”?

2 “When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell”.

3 “Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident”.

4 “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple”.

5 “For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock”.

6 “And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord”.
