5TH MARCH.

I affirm that my life is an endless stream of the miraculous, because I live in the Name of Jesus. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and He has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to bring deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. I am a man on a mission, entrusted with the divine responsibility of reaching those in my world with the Gospel of light. The Spirit of God has anointed me for such a time as this and my zeal, passion, and commitment to the expansion of God’s Kingdom is rekindled today. The light of the glorious Gospel of Christ shines brightly in my world and in the hearts of men today, taking away darkness, pain, and misery, and bringing them righteousness, light, and glory. Blessed be God! Hallelujah.

SUNDAY, 5TH MARCH.

YOUR INHERITANCE THROUGH THE WORD.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).

The concluding part of the verse above says the Word is able to “give you” an inheritance among them that are sanctified. The Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul, wrote this to the Church. Why would He say this to Christians who already have an inheritance in Christ Jesus?

The reason is clear. First, understand that He wasn’t talking about the ownership of the inheritance, but the inheritance being delivered into your hands. Yes, legally, all things are yours in Christ Jesus, but there’re rebel holders of authority—Satanand his cohorts—who often try to sway God’s people from enjoying their inheritance. Now, Paul, by the Spirit, declares that the Word of God is able to literally deliver your inheritance into your hands, to enjoy, irrespective of the activities of the adversary.

This spells absolute joy, fulfilment and glory for us in Christ Jesus! It simply means your prosperity and blessings aren’t dependent on whether or not your parents or forebears bequeathed any inheritance to you! In Christ, you have obtained an inheritance: “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light” (Colossians 1:12). Peter describes thatinheritance as incorruptible, untainted, unsullied, and eternal (1 Peter 1:4).

Something beautiful to also note is that the Spirit didn’t say the Word will apportion an inheritance to you, but that it’ll “deliver” the inheritance to you. In other words, as you meditate on the Word, the blessings thereof become evident in your life! No wonder the Bible says, “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all” (1 Timothy 4:15). Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

The glory in the Word and the righteousness thereof are manifest and evident in my life. My faith is alive and producing results as I put the Word to work. The Word of Godin my mouth causes circumstances to align with God’s perfect will for me, delivering to me every blessing that’s ordained for me in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:

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

1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

1 Timothy 6:12 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.

4TH MARCH.

I affirm that I am a lifter and a giver. I am God's outstretched arm of love, and salvation to the world. I was born as the answer to the cry of millions, and through me, God's blessing flows to my world and beyond. The hand of the Lord is on me and He has granted me insight and foresight into the realities of the Kingdom. I walk in preordained pathways, conscious of my calling as a minister of reconciliation. As I take the gospel of the living Christ to my world, the eyes of many around me and beyond are opened to the light of the Gospel, and they are all turned from darkness to light, and into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. The Lord is my light and my salvation, darkness will never prevail in my world. Christ in me is my protection. God has transferred me from the kingdom of this world into the Kingdom of His dear son. Therefore, none of my steps shall slide, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I fear nothing, and no one, because the Lord is my shield and buckler. I dwell in safety, because in Christ I live, and move, and have my being! Glory to God.

SATURDAY, 4TH MARCH.

UNDERSTANDING TRUE WORSHIP.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him inspirit and in truth (John 4:24).

When we talk about worship, there’re those who don’t understand what it is. They wonder, “Who do you worship?” “Why do you worship?” “What are the benefits of worship?”

Worship is the recognition and appreciation of the goodness, blessings, kindness and righteousness of God. It’s the recognition, appreciation or confession of His character. For example, when you give thanks to God and say, “Lord, you’re good; you’re kind; you’ve blessed me; you’re righteous,” etc., you’re defining, recognizing, and appreciating His character.

God likes it when you worship Him like that because it shows who He is in your life; it separates Him from everyone else and from everything else. When you thank Him for His goodness, provisions, blessings, and all the wonderful things He’s given you, and done for you, you’re attributing those beautiful works to Him. The necessary result is that He’ll do more in your life.

Furthermore, worship brings to us a greater revelation of God. This is why we worship God and not men, angels or things. Neither men nor angels have the capacity or ability to reveal themselves beyond what they themselves can perceive. You can’t grow spiritually from knowing an angel or another human being; no human can reflect you to you, because every human being is unique to himself. But in fellowship, God reveals Himself to you, and in that process, He reveals you to you, and also reveals your future, your life, your personality, your value and then His purpose for your life.

That’s why when you study the Bible and read of men and women who encountered God, they all had a divine revelation of God’s purpose for their lives, an understanding of the future that God was leading them into, and a revelation of God Himself. Thus, worship for us is something much more than a form, a ritual or mere religious activity. When we worship God, there’s true recognition, a true perception, and real encounter with Deity.

When you’re in church and it’s time for worship, or when you worship in your closet, give it your attention; worship the Lord in reality, with this understanding.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I recognize and appreciate your goodness, blessings, kindness, and righteousness. I worship you from my spirit for making me an excellent person, and decorating my life with your glory. I extol your majesty and praise you for your blessings and wondrous works in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:

Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Revelation 4:10-11 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

3RD MARCH.

I affirm that life is not a mystery to me, because as I meditate on the Word, the Spirit of God unveils spiritual realities to me, enlightening the eyes of my understanding and guiding me into all truth. I will never live on the dark side of life; for the true light that lightens every man's world shines in my heart. The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth, prevailing against adverse circumstances, and producing what it talks about in my spirit, soul and body. The Lord has given me rest on every side; therefore, I've ceased from all struggles. This is my year of flourishing, I am living in power and working miracles as I live in, and through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word. The wisdom of God is in my heart and in my mouth today! God’s Word is as fire shut up in my bones; and as I speak, I dissolve doubts; I am prevailing and reigning in life by grace through righteousness, and the glory of God is seen and expressed through me. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
