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

What a joy that the last Sunday in this month has brought us by being in our Father’s Presence with the saints in fellowship!

May the joy & blessings of our fellowship in His Church continue to answer in our individual & corporate lives, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Here at KDCG, the message was the concluding part of the teaching series, Commanding The Supernatural – 4.

Commanding The Supernatural answers to those who give thanks to God as a lifestyle.

They’re God’s children who operate in the spirit of gratitude, no matter the situation, whether they’ve gotten their miracles or not.

Thanksgiving, showing gratitude particularly when the miracle is yet to manifest physically is the strongest point of faith – Romans 4.20-21(Living Bible):

20 “But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even before it happened”.

21 “He was completely sure that God was well able to do anything he promised“.

Thanksgiving, showing gratitude, particularly when the miracle is yet to manifest physically, is attesting to God’s faithfulness that He can’t fail nor lie – Hebrews 11.11(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

“Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother—although she was past the time of life for this—because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise”.

The lifestyle of gratitude can be clearly noticed in Jesus as He confronts every power of darkness tormenting the people, by always saying to the people, “…be of good cheer…”.

In two separate instances when major, mouth gaping, jaw dropping miracles happened, they were at the instances of giving of thanks!

In John 6, when He was to feed about five thousand men apart from women & children, with very little food, the account has it that “…He Himself knew what to do“, & what did He do?

In verse 11(KJV), Scriptures record that,

“And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would”.

By giving thanks, what seems not enough was more than enough!

Many believers shortchange themselves by grumbling, murmuring & complaining, which makes their situations to remain the same or become worse.

Also, in John 11.1-44(KJV), there was the account of Lazarus, who died of sickness & had been buried for four days before Jesus got there, & as His custom was, in verse 41, 

“… And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me“, & the dead of four days jerked back to life!

Beloved, no matter how bad or terrible the situation is, at the instance of giving of thanks,a glorious & positive change is bound to happen!

In our family, it’s a law that no one must say anything good is finished, rather you’re to say that the thing is plenty!

No negative words, only Scripturally positive words.

We were in Langtang(a town of about three hours drive from the Plateau in Nigeria), when my wife, on a Saturday morning, told me that food is plenty in the house, & I calmly replied her that I’ve heard.

Later that morning, I went to the office in preparation for Sunday morning service & returned home late in the afternoon, & she still repeated the same thing to which I still gave the same reply, adding that hers is to say it, mine is to hear, & the miracle Worker is to do, & after a while, left again for the office for the final preparations for the following day’s service.

On getting home later that night, the story had changed.

Some of our Pastors from near Jos on the Plateau came with baskets of ingredients & an Elder in the church also brought half a bag of rice & 2 cockrels!

When you’re in the thanksgiving mode, you’re carrying divine Presence Who makes all the difference gloriously – Psalm 22.3(KJV):

“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel”.

I embarked a taxi sometime in Ilorin, a major city in North Central of Nigeria, & the driver exclaimed that he perceives I’m a servant of God, & on asking him why he said that, he replied that as soon as I entered his taxi, “something” came in with me & I said to him, “Young man, that’s the Presence of God”!

The consciousness of who you are constantly puts you in the gratitude mode, which you jealously guard because of the consequences!

Israel never knew she was the Lord’s army, so in the journey through the wilderness, it was complaint & misbehaviour all through – Exodus 12.51(KJV):

“And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies”.

As our Father’s beloved children, we’re in the Lord Jesus’ army – 2 Timothy 2.3(Amplified version):

“Take [with me] your share of the hardships and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus”.

Hardships & suffering there refer to the ruggedness of military training.

When you allow the consciousness of who you are in our Lord Jesus Christ consumes you, you won’t have any occasion to find faults with Him, rather you’ll strive to always please Him, knowing fully well that He has your best interests at heart & He’s fully committed to you fulfilment & wellbeing!

Beloved, its time to handle life the way life must be handled, supernaturally, showing heaven on earth!

From now, every doom, gloom & paleness that the powers of darkness have organised against your colourful destiny will give way to heaven’s beauty, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

You’re miraculously coming out of every hole you’ve been imprisoned, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

I bring you the better than good news of the Kingdom, today, & I know beyond any doubt that as you plug in your faith in the Spirit of LOVE, everything about you will be getting better according to our heavenly Father’s plan for you, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Beloved, I want you to be encouraged in our Lord Jesus & keep following His programme for your life because the attendant blessings are very real!

For instance, Zechariah & Elizabeth had prayed to God for a child but it seems to them that the prayers weren’t answered, whereas, God had heard & answered, knowing that in His Wisdom, there’s a set time for the realization of that request – Luke 1.5-7,13(KJV):

[5″]There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth”.

[6]”And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless”.

[7]”And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years”.

[13]”But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John”.

In the case of Hannah, as recorded in First Samuel, her prayer was answered with the testimony, instantly!

You must understand that divine providence is according to divine wisdom & wisdom shows in  planning in times & seasons.

A time came in my own life, not too long ago, that I thought I was just in God’s perfect will for my life because everything was just going on well as I thought they should be, as His son & servant.

However, He was preparing me for His good & great works that I’ve been ordained & recreated for in Christ Jesus, as His workmanship – Ephesians 2.10(Amplified version).

Beloved, I didn’t know I was in preparation for eighteen years but what a joy when in His Love, grace, mercy & magnanimity, He told me in 2016 that I was just stepping into the first phase of my ministry!

The point is that we shouldn’t allow anything whatsoever to dissuade & discourage us from always being expectant of whatever we are believing Him for.

He’s ever so faithful!

One thing is very sure, that, whatever is needful for you & that’ll bring glory to Him won’t be denied you at all – Jeremiah 29.11(NIV):

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.

As His beloved, you must not allow the devil to pressurise you into doubt, unbelief & lackadaisical attitude in your walk with the Lord, trust Him enough to help you out according to His Word!

Hosea 2.21(Good News Bible):

“At that time I will answer the prayers of my people…”.

Hosea 2.21(Living Bible):

“In that day,” says the Lord, “I will answer the pleading of the sky for clouds, to pour down water on the earth in answer to its cry for rain“.

Hosea 2.21-22(Amplified version):

[21]”And in that day I will respond, says the Lord; I will respond to the heavens [which ask for rain to pour on the earth], and they shall respond to the earth [which begs for the rain it needs]”,

[22]“And the earth shall respond to the grain and the wine and the oil [which beseech it to bring them forth], and these shall respond to Jezreel [restored Israel, who prays for a supply of them]“.

Hosea 2.21-22(Message Bible):

“On the very same day, I’ll answer“—this is God’s Message—

“I’ll answer the sky, sky will answer earth”,

22 “Earth will answer grain and wine and olive oil,

and they’ll all answer Jezreel“.

Hosea 2.21-22(NLT):

21″ “In that day, I will answer,” says the Lord. “I will answer the sky as it pleads for clouds. And the sky will answer the earth with rain”.

22 “Then the earth will answer the thirsty cries of the grain, the grapevines, and the olive trees. And they in turn will answer, ‘Jezreel’—‘…!’”

Hosea 2.21-22(NIV):

21″”In that day I will respond,” declares the LORD–“I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth”;

22″and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel“.

As you can see, our heavenly Father has it in His eternal programmes for us in the Church of Jesus to make our lives better than good on all sides, moreso, as we hold on to Him in the covenant.

All the better things that accompany salvation have been programmed to make your life & my life better than good – Hebrews 6.9; Revelation 5.12(KJV).

Even the elements of nature must attend to us favourable, everywhere & always!

Your walk in the covenant has been programmed to be prosperous with the dew of heaven & the fatness of the earth for freshness, refreshing & ease – Zechariah 8.12-15(Good News Bible):

12 “They will plant their crops in peace. Their vines will bear grapes, the earth will produce crops, and there will be plenty of rain. I will give all these blessings to the people of my nation who survive”.

13 “People of Judah and Israel! In the past foreigners have cursed one another by saying, ‘May the same disasters fall on you that fell on Judah and Israel!’ But I will save you, and then those foreigners will say to one another, ‘May you receive the same blessings that came to Judah and Israel!’ So have courage and don’t be afraid””.

14 “The LORD Almighty says, “When your ancestors made me angry, I planned disaster for them and did not change my mind, but carried out my plans”.

15 “But now I am planning to bless the people of Jerusalem and Judah. So don’t be afraid“.

Zechariah 8.12-15(Message Bible):

12 “Sowing and harvesting will resume,

Vines will grow grapes,

Gardens will flourish,

Dew and rain will make everything green.

“My core survivors will get everything they need—and more”.

13 “You’ve gotten a reputation as a bad-news people, you people of Judah and Israel, but I’m coming to save you. From now on, you’re the good-news people. Don’t be afraid. Keep a firm grip on what I’m doing””.

14 “A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

“In the same way that I decided to punish you when your ancestors made me angry, and didn’t pull my punches”,

15 “at this time I’ve decided to bless Jerusalem and the country of Judah. Don’t be afraid“.

It really doesn’t matter how bad & terrible your reputation has been, even as a christian, our heavenly Father in His Love & mercy is changing your story into His glory for you to be a positive & glorious reference point, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

In Christ Jesus, you & I have become the good news people!

You & I are no longer the bad news people!

Glory! Halleluyah!

If you’ve believed any portion of Scriptures before, you should & must believe this one, also!

Zechariah 8.12,15(KJV):

[12]”For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things”.

[15]”So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not“.

Zechariah 8.12(Amplified version):

[12]”For there shall the seed produce peace and prosperity; the vine shall yield her fruit and the ground shall give its increase and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit and possess all these things“.

Zechariah 8.13(NLT):

“Among the other nations, Judah and Israel became symbols of a cursed nation. But no longer! Now I will rescue you and make you both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don’t be afraid. Be strong, and get on with rebuilding the Temple”!

Zechariah 8.13-14(Living Bible):

13 “‘May you be as poor as Judah,’ the heathen used to say to those they cursed! But no longer! For now Judah is a word of blessing, not a curse. ‘May you be as prosperous and happy as Judah is,’ they’ll say. So don’t be afraid or discouraged! Get on with rebuilding the Temple”!

14 “If you do, I will certainly bless you. And don’t think that I might change my mind. I did what I said I would when your fathers angered me and I promised to punish them, and I won’t change this decision of mine to bless you“.

Beloved, be strong in the Lord & in the power of His might – Ephesians 6.10(KJV).

Agree & cooperate with the Lord in the rebuilding of His temple, His Church, the Body of Christ – Matthew 16.18(KJV).

Locate & stay in your part – Joel 2.7-8(KJV) & Ephesians 2.10(Amplified version), faithfully, joyfully & expectantly, remember, hope, expectation doesn’t bring shame – Roman 5.5; 4.17-21(KJV).

It is your season of joyful success & prosperity!

Our Father, the Lord God of seedtime & harvest, according to His good Word, will make your seeds & offerings to be prosperous, on all sides, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow morning & you’ll keep shining!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

May the mercies & grace of our God & the Lord Jesus be multiplied to you, now & always, unto the fulfilling of His good pleasures, through His knowledge, faith & love, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

At KDCG, yesterday, we came to the concluding part of the teaching series in our Glory To Glory Word Hour, THE PURPOSES OF THE SUPERNATURAL.

1. The supernatural announces the carrier – John 2.11(KJV):

“This beginningof miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him“.

People will always need the helps of God through His genuine children & servants, & one of the ways by which they’re known is by the mighty acts of God in & through their lives.

A medical doctor of about thirty five years practise before venturing into politics, met me about eight years ago, afflicted with an undisclosed & undiagnosable medical condition, home & abroad.

His cousin in a nearby town to us, who has heard about & a partaker of God’s grace on my life, brought him to me, & to the glory of God, the mysterious affliction was terminated simply by faith in the Word of God, without any strings attached, though according to him, many ‘servants of God’ had collected so much money from him without any solution.

Sometime ago, a young vibrant politician intending to recontest his seat in the House of Representative election came to me for God’s intervention because of the very stiff opposition at that time, & God did it for him, even though his opponent came to see me also but there was no commitment to her, since God had already spoken about His choice & He’s not the author of confusion!

Our God in His Wisdom has put the supernatural in place for His children & servants to be distinguished from frauds.

When the rod of Moses that became the snake swallowed up snakes of Pharaoh’s magicians, they became rodless & what’s a magician without a rod?!

By the fourth miracle of the lice in Egypt, the magicians told Pharaoh that God’s Finger was evidently at work!

When it is genuinely from God, there are no charges, it’s always free.

The only price to be paid is to put your faith at work to the instruction of God’s servant in His Word!

After Elisha was announced to Naaman’s household & the commander’s leprosy was cured, he wanted to give gifts to the man of God, Elisha, who discreetly rejected them.

In the days of Jesus, as recorded in Luke 8.1-3, several people, including women, whom He had helped, ministered to Him of their own substances, though, of course, he didn’t & never requested for them.

About two weeks ago, a very dear brother who’s life had been impacted by God’s grace upon me, wanted to give me some gift for my 52nd birthday, so he called to find out if he should bring his tithe or something else, & I told him whatever the Lord lays on his heart but not the tithe, as that should go to the church where he’s been nourished with the Word of God.

The gift of God is to bless mankind & draw them to God through the Lord Jesus & His undiluted Word, not for merchandising!

2. The supernatural gives proofs & evidence to God’s Word – Mark 16.20(KJV):

“And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen“.

God has nothing to confirm outside His Word – Isaiah 44.24,26(KJV):

Isaiah 44:24,26

[24]”Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD…”;

[26]”That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; …”:

According to Hebrews 2.4(KJV), He was “(God)also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will“?

How does the child of God then get the miraculous, the supernatural?

By speaking the Word of God in faith, always – Mark 11.22-23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

22 “Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God“.

23 “In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, `Remove, and hurl thyself into the sea,’ and has no doubt about it in his heart, but stedfastly believes that what he says will happen, it shall be granted him“.

Mark 11.22-23(Amplified version):

22 “And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]”.

23 “Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him”.

The child of God must get to the point of wholly trusting in the faithfulness & omnipotency of God so that he can cheaply work out miracles as needed!

Your life will keep yielding glory to God with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

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

This is the concluding part of what we started about two weeks ago.

Beloved, may the Father of glory, Who has chosen you in His first begotten Son, Jesus, fulfill His good pleasures in you with His work of faith & power, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

We’re in a world that doesn’t want to acknowledge & recognise God through Jesus Christ.

It’s a world that majority of the dwellers aren’t even aware that they’re being controlled by demons & powers of darkness.

Some who have the knowledge of God have refused to retain Him in their hearts & minds, thereby opening the doors of their lives to satanic manipulations.

However, glory be to our heavenly Father & our Lord Jesus, Who in His surpassing wisdom is bringing the world back to Himself through the preaching of the eternal & glorious gospel of our eternal & glorious Lord, Jesus!

Herein is our joy complete because you & I have been predestined in Jesus to be part of this end time agenda!

Ephesians 2.10(Amplified version):

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]“.

Your blessing & my blessing, your glory & my glory is in fulfilling our workmanship!

Don’t be afraid of the powers of darkness!

Threats, harassments, deceptions, all forms of evil attacks are their stock in trade but our heavenly Father’s programme is for us to help mankind, “…to open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place among God’s chosen people.’(Good News Bible)

Moreso beloved, we have a very strong assurance that none of Satan’s evil in any guise will affect us negatively – Joel 2.8(Living Bible):

“They never crowd each other. Each is right in place. No weapon can stop them”.

Joel 2.8(KJV):

“Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded“.

Joel 2.8(Message Bible):

“They don’t get in each other’s way.

Each one knows his job and does it.

Undaunted and fearless,

unswerving, unstoppable…“

Joel 2.8(New Living Translation):

“They never jostle each other;

    each moves in exactly the right position.

They break through defenses

    without missing a step“.

Joel 2.8(Amplified version):

“Neither does one thrust upon another; they walk every one in his path. And they burst through and upon the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course”.

I urge you, therefore, to press on, continue in your labour of love in the Lord, increasingly & joyfully, because great things are in store for you & I!

1 Corinthians 2.9-10(Amplified version):

[9]”But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]”. [Isa. 64:4; 65:17.]

[10]”Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny]”.

These are the better things that accompany salvation – Hebrews 6.9 – all packaged for you & I in power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, blessing – Revelation 5.10.

These better things are to make our lives better than good on all sides, as we continue our golden, glorious & royal journey of destiny & purpose in Christ Jesus! – Revelation 6.2(Message Bible):

“I looked—I saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow and was given a victory garland. He rode off victorious, conquering right and left”.

Revelation 6.2(Living Bible):

“I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed upon his head; he rode out to conquer in many battles and win the war”.

Dearly beloved in the Lord Jesus, we’ve been destined as winners in life!

Never be afraid of the enemy! Hebrews 13.5-6(New International Version):

“…God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you”.

6″So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me“?

Psalm 27.1-3(KJV):

[1]”(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid”?

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

[3]”Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident”.

Be fearless & undaunted!

Rise up to the occasion & let all the glory go up to our King & God & Lord!

On all sides, you’ll keep conquering, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

You’ll be unstoppable, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Stay ever blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

I’m persuaded that you’re maximising the benefits of the resurrection power, more & more?

The effects will keep showing in your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

We concluded today, at KDCG, the Special Easter programme, He’s Alive! as we looked at the subject, COMMANDING THE SUPERNATURAL – 3.

Please, understand that just as it is with Jesus, that He couldn’t be found among the dead, so it is with every child of God – you’re among the living & not among the dead!

It’s the living, the child of God, who commands the supernatural.

How does the child of God do that?

By carrying the Presence of God – Exodus 33.14(KJV):

“And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest”.

When the believer consciously carries divine Presence, the supernatural that produces all round rest is the order of the day!

Divine Presence is a major asset of the believer in the school of the SUPERNATURAL!

We were on a flight from Lagos(Nigeria’s economic capital) to Yola(a city in North East of Nigeria), which should just take about one hour fifteen minutes but went on for over two hours, when suddenly, the pilot announced that he was having difficulty & that the plane may not be able to land as expected, since He has been circling for over thirty minutes, to no avail.

When I heard this, I was calm in my spirit because I know He’s with me!

An air of unhealthy panic gripped virtually everyone, from that kind of unholy, fearful silence to desperate uncertain agitations, & to worsen the matter for the people, the pilot again announced that fuel was getting low & wasn’t too sure if the nearest airport, in Abuja(Nigeria’s capital) will allow him to land & refuel, because the control tower there hasn’t been responding to his calls.

Where I was seated, I just calmly spoke to Jesus to ensure our safety, as He has promised, since I’m on board.

After a couple of minutes, the pilot came on again & informed us that he’ll have to make a detour to Abuja & refuel, & see if he can continue to our destination, this news gave the people respite.

However, after refuelling, he was advised not to continue that night because of bad weather, & by the following morning, we arrived our destination.

Glory to Jesus!

When you know He’s with you, no matter the weather, you know you’ll arrive your destination in peace!

I was travelling by road from the Eastern part of Nigeria to the Nation’s capital when somewhere about two hours to the destination, we encountered traffic grid as armed robbers were operating from tree top, & it was already getting dark.

Fear & panic had gripped everyone but I calmly spoke to the Lord to give me everyone in the bus with me, which He assured me.

With the meat I was eating in my hand, I took charge of the situation & as I called for heavenly response, the atmosphere was cleared off as armed policemen arrived at the scene & tackled the bandits.

On getting to a place for refuel, everybody started thanking me & calling me Pastor, even though while I was embarking initially, nobody recognised me.

I pray for you that whatever the enemy has organised to cause delay in your journey of life be scattered right now, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

There’s a graphic illustration of the power of His Presence in Psalm 114, when Israel came out of Egypt.

By reason of His Presence with Israel, the Red Sea, the walls of Jericho, the Jordan river & the giants couldn’t stop the advancement of God’s people into the Promised Land.

From now, no power of darkness will be able to hinder your advancement into your promised land, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

His Presence silenced every opposition!

There’s no creature that can successfully resist its Creator.

The enemy may not want to initially acknowledge you but he must acknowledge your Owner & Father!

In your walk with God, strive to carry His Presence always, then, every opposition will acknowledge your Father in your life & also acknowledge you.

In the book of Acts, we have the account of how a demon possessed man spoke of knowing Jesus & Paul!

That’s part of your heritage as a child of God, when & where demons will acknowledge your Father, the Lord Jesus, the Lord Holy Spirit, & you!

In Matthew 20, Jesus tells us that He’s with us till the end of time.

The Holy Spirit is with us, individually & corporately in the Church of Jesus, to ensure our all round accomplishment with peace, ease, on time, in a very grand style & colours!

How Do You Carry His Presence?

Psalm 22.3 – Make sure you’re praiseful.

We’re told somewhere in the Psalms that it is only the living who can praise the Lord.

If then you’re alive, you should joyfully praise Him.

The enemy knows that as long as you’re celebrating your heavenly Father & Lord, he dear not touch you, so he’ll do everything he can to discourage you from seeing God’s faithfulness but you should resist him!

As you praise Him, your joy will be full & you won’t experience any pressure but pleasures in His Presence – Psalm 16.11.

As you’re joyful in His Presence, all evils targeted against you are scattered because His eyes are too pure than to behold evil – Habakkuk 2.13.

As you continue your journey of destiny & purpose, may you keep soaring higher & higher, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

This is your week of resurrection!

Whatever that is to be alive in you but the enemy has tampered with comes alive & up now, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

You’re BLESSED!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

Special Easter Friday Prayer & Fasting Service – HE’S ALIVE!

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

It was a very impactful & refreshing moment in God’s Presence yesterday, at KDCG, as the saints took time to wait on the Lord in fasting, prayers & Word exhortation to maximise His Resurrection Power.

Here is an excerpt of the Word – HE’S ALIVE – 1

Isaiah 25.6(Good News Bible):

6 “Here on Mount Zion the LORD Almighty will prepare a banquet for all the nations of the world—a banquet of the richest food and the finest wine”.

7 “And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations”.

Isaiah 25.8(Good News Bible):

“The Sovereign LORD will destroy death forever! He will wipe away the tears from everyone’s eyes and take away the disgrace his people have suffered throughout the world. The LORD himself has spoken”.

Isaiah 25.8(Message Bible):

“Yes, he’ll banish death forever.

And God will wipe the tears from every face.

He’ll remove every sign of disgrace

From his people, wherever they are.

Yes! God says so”!

Isaiah 25.8(NLT):

“He will swallow up death forever!

    The Sovereign lord will wipe away all tears.

Isaiah 25.9-10(Amplified version):

[9]”It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation”.

[10]“For the hand of the Lord shall rest on this Mount [Zion], and Moab shall be threshed and trodden down in his place as straw is trodden down in the [filthy] water of a [primitive] cesspit”.

The above is a vivid description of what our Lord Jesus did for man in His Church, Mount Zion, by feeding His people with the best of meals, His Word, knowledge, thereby, destroying the power of spiritual & premature deaths, taking away all disgrace, reproach, mockeries, insults & sufferings that Satan & his powers of darkness have been unleashing on man through ignorance & the deceptions of sin.

The Yoruba translation of the phrase, “this mountain” in verses 6,7,10 is quite revealing, as it is rendered as “great, high mountain”!

By reason of the power of God’s Word, the Church of Jesus, the Body of Christ is destined to be great & high!

That’s referring to you & I!

The veils of ignorance & deception against God’s Word, spiritual truth & reality, has been & is still the enemy’s tool of inflicting suffering on man but glory to God, our Lord Jesus destroyed all that & empowered man for a life of vibrant ecstasy, impacts & fulfilment!

The Paslmist in the 23rd Psalm, verses 5-6 brought this prophetic mystery into light, (KJV):

[5]”Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over”.

[6]”Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever“.

For everyone who is ready to accept our Father’s deliverance & blessings in Jesus, such should be ready to accept His Knowledge, Understanding & Wisdom!

By Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit opens up His helps to us, as recorded in 2 Corinthians 3.16-18(KJV):

[16]”Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away”.

[17]”Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.

[18]”But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”.

2 Corinthians 3.16-18(Amplified version):

[16]”But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away”.

[17]”Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom)”. [Isa. 61:1, 2.]

[18]”And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit”.

2 Corinthians 3.16-18(NLT):

[16]”But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away”.

[17]”For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”.

[18]”So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image”.

A vibrant, robust, glorious Christian is therefore, from the Scriptures quoted above, one who depends by the helps of the Holy Spirit, totally on the Word of God!

The fullness of the reality of our heavenly Father, in His benevolence, Whom our Lord Jesus came to show us & represent will always reflect on such a Christian – Psalm 84.11-12(KJV):

[11]”For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly”.

[12]”O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee”.

Beloved, because He’s Alive, you also will be alive & well in His entire Will, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Blessings!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

The blessings of this resurrection season will manifest continually in your entire life, in the most colourful name of Jesus!

By virtue of His resurrection, you’re now jointly seated with Him in the heavenly realms, far above all the powers of darkness , therefore, from now, I decree total rest over your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

On Thursday, at KDCG, in our Glory To Glory Word Hour, we continued in our teaching series, The Purposes Of The Supernatural, & two more purposes were examined.

1. The miraculous makes us to live heaven on earth – Matthew 6.10(KJV):

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven“.

A major cardinal focus of the believer’s prayer life, which is the Father’s desire is the manifestation of heaven on the earth!

The believer is a carrier of the Father’s Kingdom, as Jesus tells us in Luke 17.21(KJV):

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is in you“.

What is our Father’s Kingdom, what does the Kingdom of God represent?

1 Corinthians 4.20(KJV) is quite specific about it:

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power“.

God’s Kingdom is in POWER!

It is true that power is the ability to change things &(as I add,)to make things happen according to one’s desires.

So, in the context of Luke 17.21, what does powermean?

Romans 14.17(KJV) helps our understanding:

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost“.

The Power of God’s Kingdom is righteousness, peace & joy in the Holy Ghost!

That’s the underlying principle of change that the believer must enforce in life & perpetuate as a legacy for his generation, as our Lord Jesus gave us example.

This is what the Holy Spirit helps the believer to accomplish – John 3.8(KJV):

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit“.

God testifies of Abraham in exemplifying this – Genesis 18.17-19(KJV):

“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do”;

“Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him”?

“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice andjudgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him”.

When the world starts seeing you not borrowing as you used to, not drinking & smoking as you used to, not involved in immorality & idolatory as you used to, you don’t beat your wife again, you don’t steal again, no more vile & vulgar talks but you’re now after God’s heart, telling people about Jesus, leading souls to Christ, & things are happening well by your hands, they see heaven in your life, they’ll learn the ways of our Father!

2. The miraculous is to subdue the powers of darkness – Ephesians 3.10(Amplified version):

“[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“.

Miracles are God’s wisdom to silence the oppositon!

The magicians in Egypt became rodless when Moses’ rod swallowed up theirs & eventually, they became not only silent but also urged Pharaoh to release the Israelites.

From now, as you operate in the supernatural, all your oppositions will be silenced!

Whatever has kept you bound will lose its grip over your life, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

God’s Kingdom will show in your life without any sufferings, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Have a most colourful resurrection power season, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

I know it was a great time with God’s saints today in His Presence.

The joy of His Presence will always put you on top, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

At KDCG, today, we explored two more keys as we continued in the teaching, Commanding The Supernatural – 2.

1. By Faith – Mark 9.23(NIV):

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes”.

Mark 9.23(Living Bible):

“If I can?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if you have faith”.

Faith is believing in God, His ability & His Word.

Faith is acting on the Word of God, the Word of God is the horse that faith rides.

Faith puts the believer on the same performance platform with God – Mark 10.27 (NLT): “Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God”.

Mark 9.23 states that everything is possible if you have faith!

Faith is indispensable in the school of the SUPERNATURAL – Hebrews 11.6(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

“But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him”.

Faith makes God to prove His Almighty power in & through your life with the miraculous – Hebrews 2.4(Good News Bible):

“At the same time God added His witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His will”.

By faith, Jesus fed thousands of people with what seemingly wasn’t enough – John 6.5-6(Amplified version):

5 “Jesus looked up then, and seeing that a vast multitude was coming toward Him, He said to Philip, Where are we to buy bread, so that all these people may eat”?

6 “But He said this to prove (test) him, for He well knew what He was about to do”.

In 2 Kings 4.42-44(KJV), Faith was at work in the ministry of Elisha, as one hundred men were fed with twenty loaves of barley, & there was still left over:

[42]”And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat”.

[43]”And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof”.

[44]“So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD“.

2. By walking in Love – 1 Corinthians 12.31(NLT):

“So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts”…

1 Corinthians 12.31(NIV):

“…And now I will show you the most excellent way”.

1 Corinthians 13.8,13(Amplified version):

8 “Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]”…

1Cor.13.13 – And so faith, hope, love abide [faith – conviction and belief respecting man ‘s relation to God and divine things; hope – joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love – true affection for God and man, growing out of God ‘s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love”.

As powerful as faith is in the school of the SUPERNATURAL, it completely depends on love to deliver!

Faith is barren without love – Galatians 5.6(Wycliffe New Testament):

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision is any thing worth, neither prepuce, but the belief that worketh by charity [but faith that worketh by charity]”.

The believer is grounded outside of love – Revelation 2.4-5(Amplified version):

4 “But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love]”.

5 “Remember then from what heights you have fallen. Repent (change the inner man to meet God ‘s will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent”.

Love is the hanger on which the believer stands, unruffled – Matthew 22.37-40(KJV):

[37]”Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”.

[38]”This is the first and great commandment”.

[39]”And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”.

[40]”On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets“.

Love is the horse on which faith rides – John 14.21,23(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

21 “He who has my commandments and obeys them–he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him.”

14:23 “If any one loves me,” replied Jesus, “he will obey my teaching; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him“.

Can Jesus reveal Himself to you & He & the Father make their home with you, & you won’t be commanding the Supernatural?

From this moment, you won’t be miracles dry again, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

Whatever has been impossible to you before now, you’ll begin to have them very cheaply, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

This is your week of possibilities!

Be better than good!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

This is the concluding part of the Flourish To Flourish Encounter Hour that started yesterday.

2. Who Commands The Supernatural?

As we saw in the first teaching, children of God are to be unstoppable high flyers in the journey of life – Isaiah 60.8(NIV):

“Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests”?

Isaiah 11.14(KJV):

“But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them”.

Isaiah 40.31(Living Bible):

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”.

Revelation 12.14(Amplified version):

“But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days)”.

[a]. Children of God, sons & daughters of God, are to command the Supernatural – Isaiah 8.18(Amplified version):

“Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and wonders [that are to take place] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, Who dwells on Mount Zion”.

Our world is suffering & they know that deliverance will only come from the Church of Jesus – Romans 8.19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

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

Not too long ago, during an all night session, a brother who had keyed into my miraculous employment at the end of the ’80s, was expecting his miracle employment after the interview, & that night, he received an alert of the favourable employment, to which he promptly shared the testimony to the glory of God.

Another brother was in the all night, who heard the first brother’s testimony & believed God for his own miracle, & guess what, just towards the end of the first service(the next day, on Sunday morning), he, too, received an alert of his favourable employment!

Glory to Jesus!

[b]. Servants of God are to command the miraculous – Hebrews 2.4(Amplified version):

“[Besides this evidence] it was also established and plainly endorsed by God, Who showed His approval of it by signs and wonders and various miraculous manifestations of [His] power and by imparting the gifts of the Holy Spirit [to the believers] according to His own will”.

Mark 16.20(Amplified version):

“And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it)”.

Servants of God here, simply means those who are called to the five fold ministries; & also, children of God who are serving in one capacity or another – spiritually(fastings, prayers, soul winning, evangelism, Bible/Fellowship studies, music ministry), physically(instrumentalists, sanctuary keepers, decorators, follow up, security etc), financially/materially(tithes & offerings – this service involves everybody), helps & administration, etc.

[c]. God lovers command the Supernatural – Acts 13.22(Message Bible):

“God removed him from office and put King David in his place, with this commendation: ‘I’ve searched the land and found this David, son of Jesse. He’s a man whose heart beats to my heart, a man who will do what I tell him'”.

Still speaking about David, read his testimony in Acts 13.36(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

“For David, after having been useful to his own generation in accordance with God’s purpose,…”.

Beloved, our heavenly Father is still searching among mankind from place to place, looking for His children whose hearts are beating to His heart, they’re after God’s heart, for increased empowerment, to be useful to their world, in line with God’s Will, after Jesus’ order!

[d]. God worshippers in Spirit & Truth will command the supernatural – John 4.23-24(Wycliffe New Testament):

“But the time is come [But the hour cometh], and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him”.

24 “God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth“.

Worshipping the Father in Spirit & Truth is mainly talking about joyful & prompt obedience to His Word! John 6.63; 17.17(Wycliffe New Testament): John 6.63:

“It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I have spoken to you, be spirit and life”.

John 17.17:

“Hallow thou them in truth; thy word is truth”.

[e]. The selfless, sacrificial, not the selfish will command the Supernatural – John 21.17-19(Weymouth’s New Testament translation):

15 “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?” “Yes, Master,” was his answer; “you know that you are dear to me.” “Then feed my lambs,” replied Jesus”.

16 “Again a second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Master,” he said, “you know that you are dear to me.” “Then be a shepherd to my sheep,” He said”.

17 “A third time Jesus put the question: “Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?” It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, “Am I dear to you?” “Master,” he replied, “you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.” “Then feed my much-loved sheep,” said Jesus”.

Those who are people minded for the sake of our Lord Jesus will be increased in power for the miraculous.

Acts 20.28(Message Bible):

“And now beware! Be sure that you feed and shepherd God’s flock–his church, purchased with his blood–for the Holy Spirit is holding you responsible as overseers”.

1 Peter 5.2-3(NIV):

2 “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers–not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve”;

3“not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock“.

[f]. The pure in heart, living in true holiness will be empowered to command the Supernatural – Romans 1.4(Good News Bible):

as to his divine holiness, he was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death.

[g]. Those who live by faith will command the Supernatural – 2 Corinthians 4.18(Amplified version):

2Cor.4.18 – Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Faith is seeing in the Word of God as He sees & conduct ourselves according to His Word by grace, after the order of our Lord Jesus –  2 Corinthians 1.24(KJV):

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand“.

As children of God, believers in our Lord Jesus, we are to,

2 Corinthians 5:7

“(…walk by faith, not by sight:”)

Faith pleases God & when He’s pleased with you, He’ll encourage you to be more empowered in life – Hebrews 11.6(Amplified version):

the supernatural is your heritage in Christ, therefore, take advantage of it to maximise your glorious, golden & royal destiny & purpose, on time, with ease & peace, in a very grand style & colour!

Take grace to be in fellowship with the saints tomorrow in church.

Stay blessed with better than good testimonies, in Jesus’ most colourful name!

PEACE!

JESUS IS LORD!

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

far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come.
