Life flows from every revelation from his mouth.

Jesus replied, “I will not! For it is written in the Scriptures,‘Life does not come only from eating bread but from God. Life flows from every revelation from his mouth.’”  Luke 4: 4 (TPT)
To live a victorious and overcoming life, you have to speak the Word of life.
The Word of life from His mouth only come from the revelation of the Word.
You have to saturate yourself with the Logos from which the Rhema Word comes
There is no short cut to having your abundant life in Christ Jesus without studying the Word of God.
“I give you the name, Peter, a stone. And this truth of who I am will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it!” Matthew 16:18 (TPT)
When you base your daily purposeful life on the Word that comes from the revelation and understanding of the Word of God, you are unstoppable.
“This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then, you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.”

Joshua 1:8 (AMPC)

A Christian Home

A Christian Home.

 “Be ye, therefore, followers of God, as dear children;  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.” (Ephesians 5:1-4) KJV

To be able to experience God’s ideal in our marriage while here on earth, there are specific basic requirements we need to fulfill.

 First, there must be reciprocal love as Christ loves the church, and wives must submit as the church is to provide to Christ. When this process is reciprocal and mutual, it leads to a more profound love and deeper respect. Deterioration in a relationship between couples happens when one partner is selfish, and the other unselfish, or one partner is always receiving.                                                   Second, there must be communication. Couples must create time to discuss together and plan together. We must not be too busy to share our fears and problems collectively and pray over them. Every area of the family, career, education, the children, etc. must be discussed and agreed upon. Also, there must be openness and faithfulness. Nothing amongst couples should be done in secret. Everything about our business, bank accounts, etc. must be to the knowledge of both partners. There must be faithfulness to each other in all matters.

Finally, as a family, there must be time to read the word of God together and pray. Family devotion and worship must be included in the life of the family. It is a common saying that a family that prays together stays together.

You, Will, Have the Last Laugh.

You, Will, Have the Last Laugh.
 “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:3) KJV
The vision of God’s purpose in your life will surely be fulfilled, even though right now it looks like all is lost, don’t give up because you will see it and your sorrow will inevitably turn to joy.
You will laugh the laughter of joy and fulfillment in Jesus name.
Remember the young Joseph and his dreams, and all the detours of life he had to take to perfect his character, but eventually, he had the last laugh.
When Samuel anointed David as King, the reasonable expectation would have been, and he would become king immediately. It was not so.
God’s master plan for his life took years before it was completely fulfilled.
Whatsoever God has promised you, and you believe it in your heart like Mary did when she was told the rather “impossible” promise of a virgin birth of the Savior through her.
She believed, and she saw the miracle fulfilled.
While waiting on this fulfillment to happen, make a quality decision to work on your character.
God told Abraham, “walk before me and be thou perfect.” (Genesis 17:1) You can live a holy life of complete and total obedience, even amid trials. Never use your delay as an excuse to compromise on God’s standard for your life.
Those acts of disobedience will set you back, and you will require extra grace to get back on course.
Keep your hope alive, keep praising Him, and you will surely see those promises of God come to pass in your life.
You will surely laugh last.

What Type of Influence Are You?

What Type of Influence Are You?
 “And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him and began to rebuke him.  But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.” (Mark 8:32, 33) KJV
What type of influence are you making now in your area of opportunity?
Peter was influential in the team of Jesus Christ to the extent that he could pull Jesus aside to give Him a word on the current situation.
Of course, this particular advice was from his head, not from God.
What is the source of your guidance on your area of influence?
Do you give information from a selfish beneficial viewpoint, or do you genuinely give the total counsel of God?
There was another unique occasion where Peter spoke by the inspiration of God and gave the right response to the Lord.
Always check the advice that you provide to people under your influence that they are genuinely from God.
As someone that receives advice or listen to people, you have to identify the source of the counsel you are being given.
 In this instance, our Lord was able to know where Peter’s counsel was coming from instantly.
Always take time to check from God what advice you should follow.
Remember when Jethro the father in law of Moses visited him, he gave him counsel on delegation. However, he asked him to check with God first before implementing the advice that he gave him.
“If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all these people shall also go to their place in peace.” (Exodus 18:23)
We should always check with God what is influencing us or what influences are we having on other people
Pay attention to the impact you have on the people in your domain.
Watch how you are influenced too. 

They dealt faithfully

They dealt faithfully
 “However; there was no accounting required of them for the money delivered into their hands because they dealt faithfully.” 2 Kings 22:7
The testimony of King Josiah about the priests and supervisors who were handling the construction of the temple was outstanding.
What type of testimony can be given about you as you handle money?
Can you be described as honest?
You reason that maybe they were honest because they were handling God’s money? How do you today handle God’s money, specially designated money for specific projects? 

Can you be trusted with any form of cash?
Whether the money is for the public, church, or family, we are required to be honest and accountable.
Do you still struggle to pay your tithes and give to the poor?
It is said that humankind has three principal areas of tests, namely money, sex, and power.
How do you fair in these areas?
God’s desire for us is to be trusted in all areas of our life.
 Money for the temple work was given in the above story with full assurance that those men will deliver on their given assignments.
Are you delivering on your God-given assignments, including money?
Do people trust you with their money?
The Bible encourages us to examine ourselves daily in faith.
If your handling of money is examined, what report will we find?
Let us rise to the challenge of being accountable
  Can it be said of you too that you are an honest person?
Can you be trusted with money?
Are you reliable and dependable with money?
 Are you Faithful with money?

Speaking With Grace.

Speaking With Grace.
“When you speak healing words, you offer others fruit from the tree of life. But unhealthy, negative words do nothing but crush their hopes” Proverbs 15:4 (TPT)
“If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words, then his heart is drifting away, and his religion is shallow and empty” James 1:26 (TPT)
Words have a tremendous amount of power.
We don’t often realize this, especially when we don’t pay attention.
It’s very easy to offend someone with words, and sometimes worse than physical pain.
How can we control the negative tendency of using our tongue?
1.    Being a person who encourages others. Your words can help a hopeless person. God uses the person who inspires others on the front line against desperation and depression.
2.    Telling the truth with love. It’s not enough to know the truth.
  The real wisdom is to tell it with love. You can quickly destroy others with when and how you say the truth. This doesn’t mean you should not speak to the fact. Please report it with love.
3.    Ask God to give you the right words. (Proverbs 10:32)
How do you know that the person you will speak to will listen to what you have to say?    “When the lovers of God teach you the truth, a fountain of life opens up within you, and their wise instruction will deliver you from the ways of death.” Proverbs13:14(TPT)
Who will be blessed by your encouragement?
Speak life to someone today.
