MEDITATION FOR WEEK 4 IN APRIL 2012

 

WHO IS A THIEF?

 

Scripture:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. John 10:1

 

Wisdom Nugget:

The popular method may not be the scripturally permissive method.

 

Very often we use the word of God as a lens to view others. The word of God is a lens that gives correct perspective about life and the world around us but beyond that; the word of God should be used as a mirror to see ourselves for the purpose of making necessary adjustments.

Today’s study will benefit us greatly if we apply it to ourselves.

 

Somebody who takes what does not belong to him is regarded as a thief. Further to that, in the light of the scripture under consideration whosoever use illegal means to achieve his purpose is a thief.

 

If a house has a door why going through the window? Are you not guilty of this as a  student cheating to pass exam, business person cutting corners, pastors using unscriptural means to grow ministry, politician rigging to win elections. etc.

 

The door of repentance is widely open for those who are willing to go through.

FULFILLING TESTIMONY

 

Scripture:

And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. John 10:41

 

Wisdom Nugget:

A man of integrity is always conscious of the fact that he is not the only one who benefits or suffers from the consequences of his actions.

 

It is a common prerequisite to request for a reference letter of attestation whenever anyone is applying for a new job or aspiring for a higher office. It is however unfortunate to discover that many that were so recommended soon disappoint their guarantors.

 

John, the forerunner of Jesus Christ put the credibility of his reputable ministry on the line when he introduced Jesus to the people as the authentic superior. (See John 1:29-34)

 

It is exciting to learn and worthy of emulation to discover that the Lord Jesus Christ did not disappoint the testimony of John. What about you, have you not rubbished the testimony of those who endorsed you?

 

Daily Prophetic Declarations

Sunday, April 15 – Saturday, April 21, 2012

 

I receive grace to live according to prescribed testimony of the scripture for the disciples of Christ. Matt 5:13-16

 

I receive grace to resist and refuse the temptation to live contrary to testimony of the scripture. James 1:12-15

 

The testimony of my stewardship in my office of responsibility will not bring reproach to the glorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 8:21-24

 

The good name of my family shall be upheld through my stewardship in Jesus name. Proverbs 16:25

 

I shall be helped by the Spirit of God to be an agent of positive change in the society in Jesus name.

 

Those who look up to me expecting outstanding and godly result will not be disappointed in Jesus name.

 

I shall be checked by the Holy Spirit from serving as a surety for someone who will eventually put me into trouble in Jesus name. Prov. 6:1-5, 11:15

THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS

 

Scripture:

Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Ps 35:1

 

Wisdom Nugget

Fearful Christians fight for themselves, faith-filled Christians, turn the battle over to the Lord.

 

A careful study of Psalm 35 will reveal that believers are not at liberty to engage their enemies in physical battles. Psalm 35 is an emotional song of a believer that has been wounded beyond his elastic limit.

 

Although some of his words were heavy and bitter but they are not habitual. Verses 12-14 revealed the love habit of the song writer. But today people who did not fulfill those verses of love are in the majority, trying to use Psalm 35 for witchcraft purposes.

 

Whereas believers are not allowed to stupidly submit their destiny for the enemy to destroy; we must understand that; scriptures such as Psalm 35 are weapons reserved for unrepentant destroyers of destiny.

 

Daily Prophetic Declarations

Sunday, April 8 – Saturday, April 14, 2012

 

Baptize me Lord with the spirit of grace to show the love of Christ to friends and foes. Psalm 35:12-14

 

My righteousness will speak for me and my innocence and kindness will speak against all evil doers conspiring against me in Jesus name. Psalm 35:26

 

Pretentious friends who are hiding under my simplicity and innocence to tell lies and wage war against me shall be exposed and disgraced in Jesus name. Psalm 35:13-17

 

Those who wait to see my downfall will live in frustration to witness my promotion in Jesus name. Psalm 35:19

 

God’s silence that has hitherto encouraged the enemy to continue their conspiracy will end today and they shall be brought to everlasting confusion in Jesus name. Psalm 35:25-26

 

I pray for those who love and are praying for me, bless them Lord and lift them up in Jesus name. Psalm 35:27

 

I announce my season of uninterrupted joy; the enemy shall not be able to stop my flow of joy because the Lord is my source of joy. Psalm 35:9-10

THE FOOT OF PRIDE

 

Scripture:

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. Ps 36:11

 

Wisdom Nugget:

If you are not envied then you are yet to enter the fullness of the blessings of Christ!

 

If you believe that as a Christian you are both a priest and king, then it should not be difficult for you to believe that every believer is sitting on authentic, invisible throne.

 

In other words, every believer has a throne and the enemy is contending for that throne. This week the Lord wants you to contend in prayer for the preservation of your throne.

 

The feet is the spiritual instrument for climbing the ladder of progress but the enemies use their own to kick and scatter good things.

 

The foot of the pride refers to the enemies that are working to dethrone you and replace you but I pray for you; the Lord will retain you and you will not loose your position of honour in Jesus name.

 

Daily Prophetic Declarations:

Sunday, April 1 – Saturday, April 7, 2012

 

Lord I thank you for making me a priest and a king; thank you much more Lord for giving me a throne of honour. Rev. 1:6

 

My throne in my place of work, my husband house, in government, in the community etc shall not be taken from me in Jesus name. Psalm 36:11

 

The Lord will scatter every satanic gang-up against my throne in Jesus name. Gen. 37:18-22

 

The Lord will do unto the enemies of my throne what he did to Hamman in Jesus name. Esther 7

 

Manipulative spirit of the wicked will not entice or posses me to mismanage my office of honour in Jesus name. I Samuel 16:14-15

 

Arrows of arrogance, death and sickness will not force me out of my throne of honour in Jesus name. II Chronicles 16:21

 

The Lord will retain my throne of honour and use me as an instrument of blessing to put happiness on peoples’ mind and food on the table of the poor in Jesus name. Psalm 41:1-3

Meditation for Week #3 in September 2011

CATALYST OF GROWTH

 

Key Verse:

And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. Genesis 39:5

 

Wisdom Nugget

The opportunity you have to manage another person’s business may be the only opportunity you will ever have to record your life’s success. Be a catalyst of growth!.

 

Children of God are supposed to be catalysts of positive change but unfortunately not many are aware that they are supposed to be a solution to negative situations.

 

Joseph represented this truth very well in the house of Potiphar, in the prison and in the king’s palace.

 

All that Potiphar committed into his hands prospered. The prosperity of his master was tied to his presence. The story of Potiphar in the book of genesis ended with the departure of Joseph into the prison. What a pity.

 

When he got into the prison, he represented hope and in the king’s palace he brought salvation that extended beyond the borders of Egypt.

 

There is a big lesson to be learnt in this; Joseph was at no time the highest ranking officer in all the places he served, yet the story of his accomplishments surpassed those of his leaders.

 

May God make your presence in all negative situations the needed catalyst of positive change in Jesus name.

WELCOME TO EMBER MONTHS

 

Key Verse:

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. Proverbs 23:7

 

Wisdom Nugget:

Your believe will always be your experience.

 

God did not dedicate any part of the year for evil. Because volume of activities increases toward the end of the year, anxiety equally increases but as children of God we must not fear what the unbelievers fear.

 

Negative pronouncements by self acclaimed prophets and other servants of God working in ignorance are also contributing in no small measure to the tension that people generally go through during ember months. But God is saying that this year, He will give you peace and command safety around your territory.

 

Be a good manager of prophecy by praying against negative predictions and taking charge over situations within your power to curtail. Shalom

WHO NEEDED WHO?

 

Key Verse:

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Eccl 11:6

 

Wisdom Nugget:

Every opportunity to give is presenting a beautiful opportunity to be blessed.

 

Let us consider the widow of Zarephat and prophet Elijah and see how God uses the opportunity to give to indirectly give us divine intervention.

 

There was famine in the land and God by supernatural means was feeding His prophet but suddenly the unexpected happen; the brook dried!

 

However, God did not leave His servant without alternative provision, a widow has been prepared to take over the responsibility of fending for the man of God.

 

In the wisdom of God which is always higher than man, God did not choose somebody who has more than enough. All that the widow had was just enough to feed the woman and the son; without the hope of where the next mean would come from.

 

The widow needed a supernatural source of supply otherwise she would finish what was left and wait for death but so that the widow will not die was the reason God allowed the brook the man of God was drinking from to dry. So the widow needed the man of God more than the man of God needed her bread.

 

After all, the bible never told us that the raven stopped bringing him bread  it was only the brook that dried.

Meditation for Week # 4 in August 2011 BEWARE OF UNHOLY ANGERS

 
Key Verse:

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matt 10:16

 

Wisdom Nugget:

If you fail to blend militancy with meekness, you will soon reap the reward of foolishness

 

Our faith is daily tempted by the persecution we faced on daily basis. Our case is not different from a harmed cop who must exercise his authority to use his weapon with caution as permitted by the law.

 

The law will not be on the side of any military person who uses his weapon unlawfully, the same way our spiritual authority to judge unrighteousness may not enjoy the support of God, if we act without compassion and salvation of the adversary in mind.

 

Thus a mature Christian must exhibit appropriate combination of the emotional toughness of the serpent and the tenderness of a dove. That way, he will be able to punish the disobedience of enemies of God when it is necessary to do so and also forgive their ignorance when such is desirable.
