Daily Devotional: FOLLOW THE WORD, NOT YOUR FEELINGS So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God (Romans 8:8). In Christianity, we don’t judge by our feelings; we follow the Word. That you “feel” close to God or far from Him doesn’t make any difference. You live in Him and He lives in you. How much closer can you get to someone who lives in you? God wants you to know and grow in the knowledge of His Word, and walk in the light of your oneness with Him. He wants you to live by what the Word says about you, and notRead More →

Daily Devotional: KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND LIVE ACCORDINGLY That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). As Christians, we’re different from those in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, they were called to obey the Word; but in the New Testament, we’re Word practitioners; we’re the expression of the Word; it’s called the mirror principle. God’s idea is that if He shows you who you are, you’d live accordingly. Therefore, when you come across a verse such as Ephesians 4:25: “WhereforeRead More →

Daily Devotional: OFFSPRING OF LOVE Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily (1 Corinthians 13:7 AMPC).   The Bible tells us that God is love (1 John 4:8); love is His nature is who He is. When we talk the attributes of love, therefore, we’re talking about the attributes of God. Apply this to our theme verse and it’ll read, “God endures long and is patient and kind; God never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, God is not boastful or vainglorious, God doesRead More →

Daily Devotional: HIS NAME HAS ALL POWER And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17). When you study and understand what the Bible says about the Name of Jesus, it’ll strengthen your faith and change your general attitude and approach to life. Philippians 2:9-10 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” At His Name, everyRead More →

Daily Devotional: JESUS—THE INCARNATE WORD In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made (John 1:1-3).   Just as no other apostle gave us the revelation of the Church like Paul, no one gave the Church the revelation of the Person of Jesus, the incarnate Word, like John. He tells us the story of the Word and starts from the beginning. In John 1:10-14, he says, “He was in the world, and theRead More →

Daily Devotional: TAKE YOUR PLACE AS A KING-PRIEST Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders, but you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise (Isaiah 60:18 AMPC). The spate of evil, wickedness and deception perpetrated by Satan and his cohorts around the world today is something only the Church of Jesus Christ can cut a swathe through. We’re the restraining force against evil in the earth today. We have the authority in the Name of Jesus to frustrate these satanic activities. Through prayers, we can establish God’s righteousness in places hitherto governed by agentsRead More →

Daily Devotional: OUR UNION WITH THE FATHER But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17). Being born again, and having received the Holy Spirit, you’re one with the Lord. He’s come to dwell within you and has mingled with your spirit. His purpose from the foundation of the world was to be inseparably united with you. He’s one with Jesus; He was so much one with Jesus that when Philip asked Jesus in John 14, “Show us the Father and we will be satisfied,” His response to Philip was, “Have I been such a long time with you andRead More →

Daily Devotional: SPEAK AND CREATE WHAT YOU WANT Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Hebrews 11:3). What we just read in our opening verse reveals your limitless power and glory in Jesus: what you can do with the Word (rhema) of God in your mouth. Recall that in the Book of Genesis, the Bible says the earth was a chaotic mass. But after the Holy Spirit incubated upon it, God gave the Word, and everything He spoke leapt into being. This is theRead More →

Daily Devotional: IT’S ABOUT YOUR DIVINE ORIGIN And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). The life of Jesus on earth was an unending stream of extraordinary blessings, victories and manifestation of the divine life. He was conscious of His divinity and oneness with the Father and spoke about it unequivocally. In John 8:42, He said, “… for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.” As a result of this connection, He said, “All things that the Father hath are mine…” (John 16:15). Christ’s purpose inRead More →

Daily Devotional: WE ARE HIS “MANNER OF MEN” …What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? (Mark 4:41). The Lord Jesus, when He walked the earth, was a marvel; a master over circumstances. One day, the disciples, in awe of Him, asked the question we read in our theme verse. This was after He hushed a billowing tempest to sleep. On another occasion, the disciples had sailed far out at sea when they suddenly saw a figure walking towards them on the water; it was Jesus. Again, they wondered, “What manner of man is this that defies nature?”Read More →
