TRAIN YOURSELF IN THE WORD

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

There’s a call for growth in your walk with God, a call to become stronger, more established and unshakable in the Word, and bold in the demonstration of your faith. That growth doesn’t happen by chance; it comes through deliberate training in the Word.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” Give yourself to the Word consistently until it shapes your thinking and conditions your responses: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2).

The only material given to us by God to build our lives and renew our minds is the Word of God. The Lord Jesus further illustrated this in Luke 6:47-48: “Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”

When you give yourself to the Word, you live above circumstances. You’re never moved or flustered by challenges. No matter what happens, you don’t respond in fear but with the Word. You speak to the situation and change it. You exercise dominion. This is why you must fill your heart with the Word, for out of that abundance your mouth will speak.

When the Word saturates your spirit, faith becomes your automatic response. It reminds of one of William Branham’s testimonies. A young man’s body, terribly mangled in a devastating accident, was brought to him. Without panic, he gathered the broken body, commanded it to return to normal, and it did. This is the life you’ve been called to live.

Train yourself in the Word and fear will have no place in you: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Colossians 3:16 declares, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….” With the Word in you, you’ll always act with confidence, dominating circumstances.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that builds me and trains me for a life of dominion. Your Word saturates my spirit, producing faith, boldness and victory always. Your Word is fruitful and effectual in me, prevailing over circumstances as I speak it forth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

from Faith To Faith

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17).

Understand this: the life you’ve been called to live is a life of faith, from beginning to end. Faith isn't something you switch on when there’s a need; it’s your daily walk. You were born into it. The moment you were born again and became the righteousness of God, you began a life that’s sustained, expressed and advanced by faith. This is your nature.

Some misunderstand what it means to live by faith. It doesn’t mean to sit idle, doing nothing and expecting things to happen. That’s not faith. Faith is active. Faith produces action. Faith responds to the Word.

When the Bible says the just shall live by faith, it means the righteous regulate their lives by the Word of God and not on the basis of sensory perception-what you see, feel, or hear. You look at everything from the standpoint of the Word. That’s living by faith. Your outlook, your choices, your actions are governed by the Word.

Faith compels you to act in line with God’s truth, regardless of circumstances. Also, faith doesn’t exclude responsibility. The Word teaches diligence and productivity. Faith doesn’t make you idle; it makes you effective. It’s the reason James talked about faith and works-corresponding action: “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17).

You’re the righteous, and the righteous live by faith. Therefore, keep growing your faith by learning more of God’s Word and putting it to work. The Christian journey is from faith to faith, grace to grace, and from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Righteous and Holy Father, I thank you for making me your righteousness and for the life of faith you’ve given me. I walk in the light of your Word, making decisions and taking actions based on your truth. My faith produces results; I manifest your glory today, everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

USE WHAT YOU’VE GOT

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you… (Acts 1:8 AMPC).

To you, Acts 1:8 isn’t a promise any longer but your present reality. The Holy Spirit in you means power in you, divine ability to effect changes and produce results. Therefore, stop looking outward for what is already within. Don’t ask God for power or wait on Him to “do” something about your case; use what you’ve got!

Your words have power. Whatever you say comes to pass (Mark 11:23). Therefore, refuse to live as a victim; you’re full of power: “But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might...” (Micah 3:8). Become conscious of who you are and the power at work in you and in your behalf.

Consider the testimony of Brother Andrew, a Christian missionary who secretly transported Bibles into communist Eastern Europe and the Soviet bloc during the Cold War. Whenever he was confronted by border officials, he never panicked or prayed out of fear. He often prayed a simple but bold prayer: “Lord, in my luggage I have Scripture I want to take to your children. When you were on earth, you made blind eyes see; now, I pray, make seeing eyes blind.”

The guards looked, yet wouldn’t see the Bibles, and in some cases helped him get them through, into the country. Also, take a cue from Elisha. When his servant trembled at the surrounding army, Elisha didn’t cry, “O God, send power.” His prayer was for his servant’s perception, that the young man’s eyes be opened to see the host of God that shielded them, protecting them from the adversaries.

Stop asking God for what He has already made available. Rather, walk in His truth, in the revelation of your identity and heritage in Christ. Don’t pray as though Heaven is withholding something from you: “Send down power, O Lord; Spirit of the Lord, come down and help me!” No! He already did in Christ. The power of God, in the Holy Spirit, is in you today.

That power works through your acknowledgement and proclamation. You’re not helpless; you’ve been endued with power; use what you’ve got. Speak the Word boldly; enforce your dominion and manifest the glory of God everywhere.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the power of the Holy Spirit in me. I walk in the consciousness of this power and speak your Word with boldness, knowing that your ability is working through me. I refuse to live in ignorance or fear; I exercise dominion and manifest your glory in every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE REALITY OF HIS BENEVOLENCE

The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works (Psalm 145:9).

Did you know that God is more willing to do you good than you could ever be willing to receive it? He’s more ready to help you in any situation, more eager to supply whatever you need in abundance. And beyond your needs, He delights to give you what you want.

Some people say, “God gives you what you need but not what you want.” That’s not true. The problem is that many don’t know how to ask, and then they don’t know how to receive. But the Bible teaches us both—how to ask and how to receive. The Lord Jesus said in John 16:24, “…ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

Practice this and you’ll live in superabundance; an overflow. It’s been my experience in life: I receive whatever I want so much so that my challenge is not to desire anything too much, because if I want something, I get it. And you can be sure it won’t come in trickles but in abundance. Sometimes when things come to me like that, I say, “Lord, this is too much. I didn’t mean it like that!” But that’s the reality of His benevolence.

What’s benevolence? It’s God’s benefaction. It’s His disposition to be good to you, always willing to bless you, always willing to grant the desires of your heart. It’s His constant readiness to do you good, to help you, to lift you. You never have to qualify for it. This is one of the blessings of the Holy Spirit in your life. He does it because He loves you in Christ Jesus.

What I’m sharing with you isn’t only scriptural; it’s practical. Put it to work. Walk in the consciousness of God’s benevolence towards you. You’ll discover that you never have to struggle for anything. Things will start happening suddenly for you. The angels will be responding to your desires faster than the speed of thought. That’s how generous God is. He’s gracious, loving and kind. His goodness toward you is unfailing.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your goodness and benevolence towards me. I walk in the consciousness of your blessings, provisions, increase and superabundance. My life is a testimony of your kindness and generosity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HE’S IN YOU AND WITH YOU

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 1:9).

I recall the story of a certain minister who placed two chairs on his platform in church. He said one chair was for him and the other for the Holy Spirit. Whenever he wanted to fellowship with the Holy Spirit, he would sit down on his chair and say, “Holy Spirit, that’s your chair," as though the Holy Spirit would sit down for them to begin a discussion.

It sounded like a nice thing to do but that's not how God wants us to think about fellowship with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in you, not outside you. The Lord Jesus said to His disciples, “…he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” (John 14:17). In other words, while He was with them, God's plan and purpose was for the Holy Spirit to enter into them and live in them.

On the day of Pentecost, the Bible says there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost…" (Acts 2:4). From that day, the Holy Spirit entered into them to live in them. That's what has happened with you if you have received the Holy Spirit. He’s not sitting in a chair close to you. No.

He’s with you, in you, and all around you. It’s the reason you can hear His voice from inside you and from outside. How glorious your life would be if you’d constantly and consciously have fellowship with the Holy Spirit! Fellowship is intimacy with Him: knowing Him and relating with Him. It’s a sharing together; He's no longer a stranger to you but one with whom you relate from your heart.

Always share your heart with him about anything and everything. Bring the consciousness of His presence and His love into your daily walk, into your life. Be ever mindful of His amazing ministry in your life. Talk with Him like He's a living being because He is. Relate with Him like someone who’s ever present with you because He's right there, and He hears you. Have discussions with Him. Share your thoughts with Him knowing that He cares deeply about you and always wants the best for you.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in me. I enjoy rich fellowship with Him, walking in constant communion, guidance and intimacy. I am conscious of His presence, and I receive direction, wisdom and strength always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

GOD LOVES YOU SPECIALL

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

God loves everybody. The Bible says He so loved the world, people, and He sent Jesus, His Son, to save them from their sins. So, God is love, and He loves all men. However, from the Scriptures, we find that God also loves some people specially.

Solomon is an example: when he was born, the Bible tells us the Lord loved him (2 Samuel 12:24). This was special. The Lord Jesus also loved John specially. John knew it so much, he called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved. The rich young ruler who came to ask Jesus questions is also another example; the Bible says Jesus loved him (Mark 10:17-21).

Did you know you also can walk in this special love? Absolutely! That’s God’s desire for you. Remember the scripture, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14). The love of God here refers to God loving you. And when God loves you, He loves through you. That's one of the signs that His love has been directed towards you: it works through you to others.

That’s what we find in Solomon. The Lord loved him specially, and he, in turn, loved people. God’s love worked through him to love others. Because he loved the people, he made them successful as he was successful. The prosperity of Solomon was revealed through others in his kingdom. That’s why Israel was so prosperous in his days. There was no poverty. Gold was everywhere in abundance, and silver was not valued during his reign.

God loves you specially, and this makes you a conduit of His love and blessings to others. Make a decision today to walk in this truth: you have become God's mighty hand for others. Everywhere you go, let His love go with you. When people meet you, let them get introduced to the love of God as He manifests Himself through you in loving them.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for your special love towards me. I live daily in the consciousness of your love, and I am a channel and a conduit of that love to others. Your love is expressed through me, bringing transformation, blessings, and impact everywhere I go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HIS AMAZING AND ALL-PROMOTING GRACE✨

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

The opening scripture isn’t a promise for the future; it is a present reality. The grace of God pilots you. It causes you to reign in life. To reign means to live in dominion. It means you’re always on top, always above, never beneath. This is consistent with what God said to the children of Israel: “And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…” (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Now, in Christ Jesus, by this amazing grace, that becomes your daily experience. This is why you must understand the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever you do in life, do it with this grace. With this grace at work in you, you’ll be successful, excellent, and a wonder. There is no failure in the life of one who walks in the consciousness of this grace.

This grace is all-promoting. It produces a life that is upward and forward only. There is no stagnation. Every day is progress. Every day is advancement. Your life becomes a continuous experience of growth and victory.

Then the Scripture further tells us something really remarkable: “Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Romans 5:20). This shows that the grace of God is more powerful than sin. When grace takes over your life, sin loses its dominion. Grace elevates you, strengthens you, and establishes you in righteousness.

How wonderful to know that grace reigns through righteousness. Romans 5:21 reveals this; it says, “That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” This is the life you’ve received in Christ—a life where grace governs, righteousness prevails, and eternal life is expressed. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that I have received in Christ Jesus. I reign in life, walking in dominion, excellence and victory. My life is upward and forward only; I manifest your glory and righteousness in all that I do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Three Important Provisions For Life’s Journey

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Some have recited our opening verse countless times without realizing it’s from the Scriptures. To them, it’s merely a closing prayer at the end of a service. Yet, in that scripture, we’ve been blessed with three indispensable provisions for life’s journey. Any Christian, anywhere, regardless of city or nation, who walks by these three important keys will live victoriously in every circumstance, irrespective of the challenges they may face.

The first one is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does this mean? The Bible says in John 1:17, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” This means you couldn’t really know God until Jesus came. The prophets of the Old Testament brought God’s message but they didn’t express the real character of our heavenly Father.

Study the Old Testament; you’d find the Law and the judgments that made the people fear God. But the Lord Jesus came and expressed the love of God. He said, “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father...” (John 14:9). To know God, you must know Jesus. He is the One who expressed God’s character: His person and His reality. Grace and truth (reality) came by Jesus Christ.

The second thing is the love of God. God wants us to walk in the light of His love. Understand that all love is not the same. This isn’t about a mother’s love or a friend’s love. It’s a different kind of love, love that knows no bounds. Love that’s beyond this world. Love that’s liquid and flows eternally.

The third one, the communion of the Holy Spirit, is so important because the Father and the Lord Jesus are in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us. He’s in you and will always be. That fellowship is your greatest blessing and advantage in life.

God’s desire is that you walk in the light of these three amazing blessings; they are to be your daily realities. When you understand them and walk in their light, it won’t matter where you are, where you’re placed, or what comes against you, you’ll always rise above and remain victorious. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I walk daily in the fullness of your blessings, guided by your grace, rooted in your love, and sustained by unbroken fellowship with the Holy Spirit. My life is victorious, excellent and ever triumphant, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

PRAYER OF SALVATION
We trust you have been blessed by this devotional. We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:

“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”

Congratulations! You are now a child of God.
