Verse of the day

Daily Devotional: RECOGNIZING OUR AUTHORITY IN HIS NAME And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus(Ephesians 2:6). There’s so much that we can do when we take advantage of our authority and dominion in Christ. Too many Christians have been too quiet about many things, living as though they’re victims in life; no! Take charge; you’re in office. You’re seated with Christ in the place of power, in the position of authority; you have His dominion; it’s yours by right; so, use it! Make things right in your life, in your home, in your ministry, job,

Daily Devotional: CONSCIOUSLY SOW THE WORD IN YOU Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7). The Word of God is seed, and what do you do to a seed if you want it to produce a good harvest? You sow it in the right environment. Through meditation, you sow God’s Word into your heart. If you don’t sow the right seeds, weeds will grow of themselves. Your heart is God’s garden and you can’t allow “weeds” to grow in it.Weeds are wrong thoughts that are received into the heart. If you allow them,

Daily Devotional: THE PLACE CALLED CHRIST Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13). As read in our theme verse, you’ve been translated from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son; that’s your new place in life. It’s the place called “Christ,” where you reign and rule with dominion over darkness. If for example you’ve been experiencing demonic oppression at night or having nightmares, perhaps it’s because you didn’t know who you are and where you are. Now that you know, it should never happen again. Jesus

Daily Devotional: BOLDNESS IN THE DAY OF CRISIS Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world(1 John 4:17). A few years ago, a certain Christian brother was kidnapped by a cult. When they arrived at the kidnappers’ shrine, he saw the skulls of several people who had been beheaded; and shortly after their arrival, the ritualists began to call their latest captives one after the other to the slaughter slab.Suddenly, the brother began to speak in other tongues. As he spoke in tongues, one of the ritualists

Daily Devotional: BE RESOLVED TO LIVE FOR HIM Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God (John 13:3 NIV). In Acts 21, the saints at Tyre warned and pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem, because of the afflictions he’d face there. They told him he’d be tortured, imprisoned and killed. But Paul’s response is most inspiring! He said, “…Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus”

Daily Devotional: THE AFFIRMATION PRINCIPLE But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:8-10). It’s astonishing that many make light of the above verses and miss the amazing revelation it brings to the Church. It’s like what’s revealed in Hebrews

Daily Devotional: MANIFEST HIS GLORY But you are a chosen race, a royalpriesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s]own purchased, special people, thatyou may set forth the wonderful deedsand display the virtues and perfectionsof Him Who called you out of darknessinto His marvellous light(1 Peter 2:9 AMPC). One of the most beautiful revelations inthe Word of God is the truth that as newcreations, we’re the glory of God in a dark and cynicalworld. We’re the solution to the darkness in the world.The Bible says, “For, behold, the darkness shall coverthe earth, and gross darkness the people…” (Isaiah60:2). The gross darkness in the world is the indicationthat it’s

Daily Devotional: FOREVER VICTORIOUS Now thanks be unto God, which alwayscauseth us to triumph in Christ, andmaketh manifest the savour of hisknowledge by us in every place(2 Corinthians 2:14). Today, so much news of gloom and doomis disseminated through the media; there’sso much hardship, harsh economic conditions,wickedness and terror in the world than it has everbeen. The world is at a critical boiling point. But beingin Christ, you have nothing to fear. Christ is yourcountry, your home and environment.In Christ, you’re forever victorious. You haveovercome all the antichrist spirits of this world. 1 John4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and haveovercome them: because

Daily Devotional: THE WORD IS OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1). In these end times before the Rapture of the Church, one of the phenomena we’ll witness is apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Many will fall away from the Faith, because they gave heed to seducing spirits—spirits that lure people from believing in God, from believing the truth. These spirits lure men from the right path, to give attention to teachings, assertions and instructions of demons. The doctrines of demons aren’t

Daily Devotional: RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOU DOMINION For if by one man’s offence deathreigned by one; much more they whichreceive abundance of grace and of thegift of righteousness shall reign in life byone, Jesus Christ(Romans 5:17). The literal translation of the word “reign” in theverse above is to “king” or “be king”; it’s theverb of kingship. So, you could actually say, “Theywhich receive abundance of grace and of the gift ofrighteousness shall “king” or “be kings” in life by JesusChrist.”Revelation 1:6 says He’s made us kings andpriests unto God; and what do kings do? They ruleand reign; they exercise authority and dominion overtheir realm. In the

RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOUDOMINION RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOUDOMINION RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOUDOMINION RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOUDOMINION Daily Devotional: THE WORD IN YOU Let the word of Christ dwell in yourichly in all wisdom…(Colossians 3:16). Your reaction to challenges and adversities oflife will be to the extent of how much of theWord is richly deposited in your spirit. In the day ofcrisis, you can only pull from the reservoir of the Wordin you. If the Word isn’t dwelling in you richly, yourresponse would be from your head, and out of fear;and that wouldn’t work.Take for instance a situation has arisen in yourhealth; if you’ve programmed yourself through theyears with the

Daily Devotional: PROMOTE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south (Psalm 75:6). When God puts you in a particular job or business, His interest isn’t about the office or your designation. What matters to Him is how effectively you’re using your office to promote His righteousness. He wants you passionate for the Gospel, and the establishment of His Kingdom in the hearts of men and nations of the earth. Everywhere you are, be busy for the Lord. Stand for Him. You’re His ambassador, and a minister of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:20-21). What counts the most

Daily Devotional: THE WORD AND YOUR EXPERIENCE Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12). There’re people who say they pray and don’t receive answers. Some others lament that they gave so much to God, but never received much in return. There’re also those who say, “I’ve been speaking the Word over my body for a long time, yet I’m sick.” If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, here’s something you should know: Your experience should never affect your confidence in the Word. The

Daily Devotional: GIVE VENT TO YOUR CHRIST-NATURE To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory(Colossians 1:27). The real essence of Christianity is Christ in you, manifesting and expressing Himself in, and through you. The Christian is one who expresses and demonstrates the life, nature, character and righteousness of Christ. This is one of the things you check in appraising yourself spiritually; how much your actions, attitude, words and character epitomise Christ. For example, when you’re offended, do you give vent to your Christ-nature or allow

Daily Devotional: BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do theGentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things (Matthew 6:31-32).. Why should anyone read this and still fretabout anything in life? The one who hastold you not to worry about tomorrow is the owner oftomorrow; He’s aware that everything you require foran excellent life has already been made available. So,refuse to be burdened with stress and anxiety.Don’t worry about your work, family, business,finances, or anything. Worry

Daily Devotional: IT WAS FOR YOUR SAKE For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). The verse above isn’t referring to spiritual riches and spiritual poverty. When you study the entire chapter in context, you’d understand Paul was dealing with financial and material prosperity. For our sake, Jesus laid down His reputation, His riches and wealth; He laid down everything and identified Himself with us, and took our place. He became us. Everything He did was for our sake. He
