“ *And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations… teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world, Amen* ”
(Matthew 28:18-20)

     While on earth, Jesus called Himself the ‘ *son of man’* simply because He needed to exert His right to use His authority as man. The man in Christ isn’t made to be trampled upon; he is created to be in charge – we are called to live supernaturally every day. But most believers think living the supernatural life is something that occurs occasionally. 
     When Jesus used the phrase “ *heaven and earth”* ; it is a phrase that implies the union of God with man, it's called the temple of God. The Lord affirmed His stand when He said  in verse 20, ‘Lo, I am with you always’. The absolute fact of Christianity is that God is with us – not physically. Having this consciousness should keep you unbroken, unhindered and unmolested. You see, there is a vital relationship between redemption and authority; the position of authority Jesus won has been transferred to us through spiritual rebirth in Christ (John 3:5). Those who believe in the Gospel have their relationship with God restored. The indwelling of the spirit in the believer is the guarantee to live victoriously, and not be subjected to situations.
    The challenges of life maybe enormous but amidst so much inflation, rising cost of living, like Job you can still say, ‘when men are cast down, I am lifted up’ (Job 22:29). Don’t allow the economic pressure squeeze you; stop complaining because when you do, you are allowing the situation to squeeze you into its mold.  One of the evidence that you are not conscious of God’s ever present help is complaining. When you see some people not complaining, it is not that everything is rosy for them; just that they’re filled with the spirit. To some when things are wrong, they think it is a spiritual attack, there’s no attack beloved, just maintain the flow of the spirit.
    Instead of complaining, get into your closet and begin to declare your prosperity and abundance in Christ; declare that you are an heir of God, and a joint – heir with Christ. when you have sufficiently proclaimed the word over your situation, it will dominate your senses and responses to such situations. So when situations try to overwhelm you, don’t you shift your stand; don’t be intimidated. Keep beholding yourself on the unshakable foundation – Christ.
     The Bible admonishing us to: ‘rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be made known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus’ (Philippians 4:4-7). Instead of complaining, fill your mind with God’s thoughts and keep praying, and the assurance for victory will well-up in your  heart. Keep listening to the word of His grace. ‘ *You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trust in you’* (Isaiah 26:3).

REFERENCES: Exodus 12:35-36; Psalm 105 :37

 *PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your word which floods my heart with peace; I am unbroken, unhindered and unmolested in Jesus  name – Amen.*

                                                  January 29. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11) The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the transcendent life. It is a life that’s far removed from failure and defeat. It is a life in the word of God. To manifest the glory and splendor of this life, the word of God should become an integral part of us; what we live by. At salvation, we became associates of the God-kind; we’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any Christian suffer defeat and pain? The problem is that we’ve not given the word of God its proper place in our lives. God gave us His word to live by. His word is the revelation of His will, nature and character an...

February 18. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)” (James 5:16 Amp) The happenings in our environments and the world over calls for our importunity in prayer. Out of ignorance a lot of people are blaming God for certain occurrences in their lives. But if things must change in the direction of God’s original plans and purposes, then we must keep praying. God knows that there’s no situation a child of His cannot change because the divine power necessary to effect such change is already resident in you; it was deposited in you the moment you became born again. God doesn’t expect you to cry out for help or start complaining but He expects you to enforce your victory in the place of prayer. I Kings 17 tells us of Elijah’s  confrontation with Ahab the king where he said, “… As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my ...

                                                  January 19. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:13) Child of God, your journey this year has been ordained only in one direction – upward and forward. This is exactly the way God has called you to live your life. He wants your life to be that of progressand advancement – not in theory but practically. It means that at the end of this year, success will be evidently seen in every area of your life. This is because as a joint heir with Christ, you have the nature to be absolutely successful. You must therefore make up your mind to develop a consciousness – a mentality that’s consistent with your personality in Christ. Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). So, you must refuse thoughts of failure occupy your heart bec...
