GOD IS YOUR SHIELD
 
Scriptural Highlight: (Job 3:5) - "But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."

Beloved, looking closely at our scriptural highlight for today, you can easily see the devil's wish against God's children -evil. He is always making moves to destroy us, and to destroy the testimony we have in Christ. He suggested to  God to put forth His hand to harm Job. In John 10:10 Jesus revealed to us that "the thief (devil) comes to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

But one thing we must note in this scriptural highlight is the helplessness of the devil where it concerns God's children. He has no power over us; he cannot even harm nor hinder us. The shield of God is always surrounding us. In Jesus we have life in abundance. In fact, after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, we (believers in Jesus) were made to be seated far above the enemy (Ephesians 2:6).

Beloved, it does not matter the challenges or problems the enemy has caused to come your way, hold fast your confession in Jesus and resist him; there is light at the end of the tunnel; Just keep connected to Jesus. Just like Job in the scripture, the enemy will not succeed over your head; you are another failure of the devil. Flourish!
Pray: Lord, I connect myself to you in Jesus name.

What Image are you carrying?

Scriptural Highlight: ( Genesis 5:3 ) - "When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth." Our scriptural highlight for today is about the generations of Adam after creation. Reading down from verses 1 and  2 of this Genesis chapter 5, we can see that when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Man was made in God's image; and as God's image was meant to reproduce God's image as well. You can say that man was god on earth. Man operated in a realm higher than any other creature. Man was in a class of his own. Man remained God's image until he disobeyed God. From our scriptural highlight today, what we see is that when Abraham had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image. What happened to the image and likeness of God in which he was created? It has been lost through sin. The nature he now carried was his own image and not God's.  His own offspring ...

GO BY HIS POWER

  GO BY HIS POWER Scriptural Highlight: (Philippians 4:13 ESV) - "For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God has the ability to empower you to do any assignment for His kingdom. Being a disciple for Christ requires extraordinary strength and power. Bible admonishes us in Ephesians 6:11-12 to: " Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." From this scripture, we see that evil have forces that enforce its influence over people. Merriam Webster' Dictionary defines an aspect of force as "a body (as of troops or ships) assigned to a military purpose". So the spiritual forces we saw in Ephesians 6:12 have one purpose, and that is to make sure that evil is reigning in the ...

Understanding The Leading of The HolySpirit

Every individual who has a relationship with God has a unique way God leads he or she. Personally, God has led me in different ways but one point is clear in my dealings with God: whenever there is a topic of importance, maybe something am neglecting and God wants my attention on it, He has a way of staying my heart on the topic. For instance, there is an article I perceive I should work on and I have been kind of ignoring it; but despite my trying to ignore it, the topic won't just go away; it looks like the topic has been posted in my heart that no matter what I do I can't just get it off my memory. That is one important way God leads his people: He puts an impression or a kind of sign in your heart. It can also come in form of a burden for you to do something or make moves to correct something that is wrong. However, it is important that prayers be made to get the correct message God wants to pass or  to get the correct line of action, because, for God to use this ...
