DAVID BECAME KING OF ISRAEL AT 30 YEARS OLD STILL HE HAD SONGS IN HIS HEART:MUST READ

David was a man who had a song in his heart even in the worst of circumstances. He was a man who was possessed by God and His Spirit. David certainly was a learned man—one who was probably schooled well, and would have know the success of intellectual knowledge, but David was also prepared in a different school than this one from which you are graduating from today. And truly if you are going to be someone for God, if your are going rise above this world—even if the foundations be destroyed, you must also graduate from this school! It is the school of trusting God, and experiencing His constant presence. 

SEE A VESSEL OF HONOUR? MUST READ

"Our God is a God of purpose and plan. He does not  do anything just for the sake of doing it. When He wanted to create man in Genesis 1 :26 He said: ”...Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the 

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A SECRET CULT: MUST READ

The showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, Elijah told the people to come near and see what he was about to do. From this example we see that the ways of God are transparent. Christianity is not a secret cult. We do not hold our services with

YOU CAN LIVE ABOVE THE STORMS: MUST READ

UNCOMMON WORSHIP

You can take different positions in worship, but a great position in which to worship God is to go flat on your face on the ground. Do you know this is still the practice in Heaven? 

Revelation 4:10 says, "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,"

UNBEATABLE LOVE STORY: MUST READ

God is love. Love is another name you can call God. He demonstrates His love to us in the past, present and future. He gave his greatest gift to us when He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, some 2000 years ago to come and die for sinful man and restore fellowship with Him.

MUST READ: MAN OF MANY COLOURS

In the days of the children of Israel, people were specifically chosen an anointed to be either prophets, priests or kings. Of all the Old Testament saints, David is one person who compares with today’s believers, for he successfully combined several portfolios. David was a king. Beyond this, he was a very skilled instrumentalist and worship leader. After God rejected King Saul, the Holy Spirit left him and an evil spirit started tormenting him. His servants, who knew the power of inspired instrumental worship in deliverance asked Saul’s permission and sought someone very skilled to do the job. Who did they find? David.

OUR ARMOUR: MUST READ

 ‘But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.’ (Rom 13:14)
As believers in Christ, we are chosen warriors. It is not strange, because our Father is the commander-in-chief of the heavenly army. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 says: ‘Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Open Heaven of Tuesday 23rd July 2013: Why You Must Abide

Memorise: 
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  James 1:22

Read: Psalms 1:1-3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalms 1:2

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalms 1:3

Bible in one year: Ecclesiastes 7-9


Message
In John 9:6-7, a man who was born blind had contact with the Lord and his eyes were opened in a very dramatic way. If just one contact could do that much, how much more when you abide in Him? When you abide in Christ, He makes everything to become new. 2 Kings 4:8-17 tells of the Shunammite woman who offered Elijah food, and he decided to abide more regularly in the apartment she built for him. Because he was abiding there, this woman who had lost hope of becoming a mother became the mother of a son. When you abide, there is a new beginning. The widow of Zarephath had the servant of God abiding with her and her son and what was supposed to be her last meal became the meal that sustain the trio for over two years of famine. Are you abiding in Christ? If you are today in Christ, tomorrow in sin, you are not abiding in Him. If you are today in church, tomorrow in a shrine, you are not abiding in Him.

Moreover, why do you need to abide in Him? Abiding in Him creates the perfect atmosphere to get the best results from God’s word. Psalm 119:11 says,
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
If you are in a hurry to study God’s word, it will not sink into you, and you will not reach the depth where you can get revelation. You need to read, study, memorise and meditate on the word, so that you can have good success (Joshua 1:8). You cannot continue in sin and expect breakthrough from God because God is a miracle worker and not a magician. Abiding in Him helps you to stay holy. Several years ago, a woman attended an anointing service organised for those who wanted to be fruitful. Like others who came, I laid hands on her and prayed. Much later she was angry that nothing happened even though she fell under that anointing. While I was about to pray for her again, the Lord stopped me, and told me to ask this great woman how many boyfriends she had, beside her husband, and she said six. What some people are seeking is magic not miracle. To prosper and become fruitful or successful through Him, you must be holy.

KEY POINT
Anytime you step out of Christ, you are exposed to the bullets and arrows of the enemy. Stay in Him!

WEAPONS OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE:MUST READ

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, (do not ignore him) steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” (1 Peter 5:8-9)

OFFERING OURSELVES AS A SACRIFICE

 Let us now explore what it means to offer ourselves as a sacrifice and how we can do it.

PRAYER POINTS FOR VICTORY OVER SATANIC DREAMS BY DR. DANIEL OLUKOYA(MFM)

ONE: You must give your life to Christ and experience the new birth. When you take this step, you will experience a major lift from the level of defeat to the level of dominion. The bible says:

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of his dear son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13,14)


TWO: You must pray fervently as instructed below. Prayer changes things. Prayer can change your dreams, too. Significantly, prayer removes the hands of the devil from your dreams.


THREE: Get personal practical help. In most cases, you may need person-to-person counselling. Thousands of lives have been transformed through counseling and prayer. We counsel and pray for people every week. Your spiritual problem is our concern. If you were attacked in your dream, never panic when you wake up. Cooly and calmly, even if your body is vibrating with fear, take the offensive. Use the name of Jesus as your combination shield and battering ram. Plead the Blood of Jesus and claim protection against the hosts of darkness. Rebuke satan and take authority over him and his wicked followers in the name of Jesus. Be persistent. ANY REGULAR DREAM SHOULD BE GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION. It may be a pointer to the way of solution to a particular problem. Be assured that the devil and his cohorts are behind all the horrible experiences in dreams like eating with the dead, swimming in water, serving people you do not know, playing with snakes, marriage in the spirit world with unknown men or women, having children in the spirit world, having sexual intercourse with known or unknown partners, getting out of the body for meetings, forceful sex or feeding, regular drinking of red liquid, being on a throne with unknown or known faces worshiping or bowing down to you and presence in unholy parties etc. Finally prepare you heart now for the practical session below.

PRAYER POINTS:
I claim all the good things which God has revealed to me through dreams. I reject all bad and satanic dreams in the name of Jesus.

(You are going to be specific here. Place your hand on your chest and talk to God specifically about the dreams which need to be cancelled. Cancel it with all your strength. If it need fire, command the fire of God to burn it to ashes.)

O Lord, perform the necessary surgical operation in my life and change all that had gone wrong in the spirit world.

I claim back all the good things which I have lost as a result of defeat and attacks in my dreams in Jesus’ name.

I arrest every spiritual attacker and paralyse their activities in my life in the name of Jesus.

I retrieve my stolen virtues, goodness and blessings in Jesus’ name.

Let all satanic manipulations through dreams be dissolved in Jesus’ name.

Let all arrows, gun shots, wounds, harrassment, opposition in dreams return to the sender in the name of Jesus.

I reject every evil spiritual load placed on me through dreams in Jesus’ name.

All spiritual animals (cats, dogs, snakes, crocodiles) paraded against me should be chained and return to the senders in the name of Jesus.

Holy Ghost, purge my intestine and my blood from satanic foods and injections.

I break every evil covenant and intiation through dreams in the name of Jesus. -->

Benefits of Praising God

Praise changes the spiritual climate. When you’re in a bad mood, begin praising God. You’ll be amazed at how the atmosphere changes. When Paul and Silas were in prison, they praised God and an earthquake freed them (Acts 16.25). A downer turned into deliverance.

Praise fulfills your primary purpose as a created being. After Jesus performed miracles, the crowd began praising God. The Pharisees wanted to rebuke them, but Jesus said, “If these [people] become silent, the stones will cry out!” (Luke 19.40) It is primal for creation to praise the Creator. If you don’t, you’ll worship something else.

Praise empowers you to great deeds. After the Apostle Peter named Jesus as the Son of God, Peter moved in astonishing power (Matthew 16.16). His great exploits began after his declaration of praise. Praise empowers you to do the same things Peter did.

Praise restores your understanding to the right order. When things go wrong, they take control. The broken water softener gets the upper hand. The prodigal son becomes your obsession. But in reality, God is still on the throne. Praise puts things in the right perspective.

Praise reminds you of God’s presence in your life. In Psalm 22.1, David wrote, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Had God really forsaken David? No, but that’s how David felt. If you’re walking with God, He won’t forsake you. Praise reminds you that God is near.

Praise crucifies your pride. We tend to think of ourselves more highly than we ought. But praise humbles us. Hebrews 13.15 calls it a “sacrifice of praise.” Sacrifice always costs us. The Apostle Paul said he died daily (1 Cor. 15.31). Praise helps you die daily so God is raised.

Praise attracts God’s presence. When King Solomon dedicated the Temple to God, he offered sacrifices and praised God. God answered by sending fire from heaven. Then His Glory came (2 Chronicles 7). Praise attracts God’s presence. He is drawn to where He is welcomed.

A LOVE STORY YOU CAN'T MISS: DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME ?

One day, I woke early in the  morning to watch the sunrise.

Ah, the beauty of God's creation is beyond description.

As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work.

As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me.

Expecting The Unexpected- God Wants To Do The Unexpected

Expecting The Unexpected.....God Wants To Do Not Only What You Want Him To....He Wants To Do The Unexpected.....
What are you expecting from God? What if He gave you the unexpected. The unexpected increase. The unexpected blessing. The unexpected love and encouragement. All the things that you need.....and more. More of who He is. More of what He is.
