    Instead of sitting back to complain about the failures of others, you can make supplication for them.

    Read Ephesians 6:18 in the Amplified:

    “With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.” Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified Bible)

    This is one of the signs of spiritual maturity: Praying for God’s people!

    Selflessness is a sign of maturity.
    The “babe” in Christ doesn’t pray for others. He or she is only concerned about himself (or herself).

    The more you pray for others, the less you get troubled or anxious about your challenges. Praying for others also means looking away from your situation and entrusting it to the hands of Jesus.

    When you spend time making supplication for others, all you are saying is, “Lord, please take care of my situation, as I stand in the gap for others”.

    Let God handle your business as you make supplication for others.

    Think about fellow saints in your community or city. Pray for their growth, their effectiveness in serving the Lord, and their strength and focus in the gospel of Jesus.

    Set a time aside today and pray for the brethren.

    Hallelujah!

    DON’T BE QUIET, SPEAK FORTH THE WORD

    “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God…Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” 

    Mark 11:22, 24 (ESV)

    Have you ever been in a moment when you felt so much faith but didn’t see the results of your prayer?

    Well, sometimes, during such moments, you may not be acting in faith. You may be acting confidently in your own efforts.

    There are times people believe in their efforts made in prayer rather than in the ability of God. You will always be disappointed if you look at yourself.

    To have faith is to have confidence in God and His saving ability. Faith is not vim!

    Faith is not how you feel. Faith is not waiting for a change. Faith is believing without a doubt in your heart that the change has happened and you have received it.

    The faith of God in your heart cannot fail.

    Jesus didn’t have any doubt in His heart when He spoke to the fig tree. The fig tree didn’t shrivel up simply because Jesus is the Saviour of the world or because He is God. If that was the case then there was no need for Jesus to tell His disciples, “let the faith of God be in you.”

    With such a response, Jesus was explaining to the disciples the secret to causing changes.

    Jesus went on to make the disciples understand that they can speak to anything at all by the faith of God.
    As He spoke to the fig tree, they can also speak to the mountains.

    How is it possible to speak to the mountain to move?

    It is by believing in your heart that whatever you say will happen because you have the faith of God.

    “Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. Mark 11:22-23 (TPT)

    For Jesus to use this example that the disciples can say to a mountain be lifted and thrown into the sea, it means they can speak to change every situation.

    If you can have the faith of God in your heart, you can speak to that infirmity in your body to be moved and be lifted into the sea.

    If a mountain will disappear at the word spoken in faith, then that kidney condition will disappear from your body; the cancer in the breast will leave; the growth in your brain will disappear, the health condition in your lungs will disappear as you will not doubt in your heart.

    To doubt is to be uncertain or to be afraid that what you have said will not happen. And mostly people doubt because they esteem the situation rather than the power of God. Others also doubt because they look at themselves and their incapabilities rather than the ability of God.

    All things were made by the word of God. Therefore, when you speak forth God’s word and you believe in your heart, the change will happen!

    Don’t keep quiet to watch the mountains before you. You can speak to it now according to the word of the Lord.

    That heart disease or cancer, or tumour of any kind can desiccate completely or wither from the root.

    Speak forth the word of God in faith without any doubt in your heart!

    Hallelujah.

    Therefore, he/she doesn’t have the authority to teach you how to fellowship with God. He is not the one to tell you how you should be attending Church meetings.
     
    The people of this world have their terms, and as you are in Christ, you function by a different set of rules.  
    You cannot be in Christ and think like the world. 
    You must uphold and esteem the teachings of Christ in your heart.
     
    A true disciple of Jesus, is a deviation to the systems of this world.
     
    He/she doesn’t live by the thought patterns of this world; but delights in the Word of Christ.
     
    He/she doesn’t interpret love as the people of this world do. A true disciple of Jesus walks in the unconditional love of Christ.
     
    A true disciple is a doer of the word of Christ and not a hearer only. He/she follows and continues in Christ no matter the storm, suffering or persecution.
     
    The persuasion of a true disciple is that nothing can separate him/her from the love of Christ.

    YOU HAVE A BLESSED LIFE

    “The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands” 

    Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV)

    It’s easy to feel less blessed when you’re overwhelmed with challenges. Sometimes, when it seems like nothing seems to work, you will feel like God’s promises aren’t for you.

    You look at others and feel they are blessed, and everything works successfully in their lives.

    You may also wonder if it is possible for a person to have:

    – Beautiful marriage and blessed children

    – Prosperous career or profession, and business

    – Outstanding Ministry

    – A dignified and peaceful life.

    Beloved, this is God’s design for your life.

    You can enjoy a life more beautiful and glorious than it was in “Eden”.

     Let this sink deep in your heart; the outcome of your life is what you believe with your heart.

     Do you believe that you can have a life full of glory and beauty?

    Hear this, all things are possible to them that believe (Mark 9:23).

    “All things” here means all things. Whether you read it in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, English, etc.

    ALL THINGS MEANS ALL THINGS!

    Whatever you believe will gravitate towards you.

    Do not accept the idea that your life is full of struggle.

    Hold on to the word of God.

    As you act in complete obedience of faith to the word of God, you will see the manifested glory of the word. The blessing of the word of God is not for some limited people.

    It is for those who believe!

     Maintain this strong mentality of faith that you are a blessed man.

     Let it be your consciousness that your hands are so blessed that everything you touch will turn to gold. Wherever you go and whatever you do is prosperous because God is with you.

    No matter the challenge, you will emerge strong, with mighty testimonies

    “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.” Isaiah 43:2 (AMP)

    No challenge is bigger than you. Whatever you come in contact with, you will become the center of attraction. 

    Always see yourself as one with blessed hands.

    The more you think this way, the more all things align for your good.

    Oh Hallelujah!

    Let this sink deep in your heart, the outcome of your life is what you believe with your heart. Selah.
    Apostle Bennie
    Author

    And the more you expose your heart to these thoughts, the more they become the impressions of your emotions. And the more you exercise or give yourself to certain passions the more they rule and drive your reactions.

    This is why God is interested in the focus of your emotions or your heart’s delight.

    The more you meditate on the love of God and cultivate your heart to express that love, the more it dominates your passions.

    The reason most people are quick to spend time watching a Hollywood movie, Bollywood movie or an African movie is how they have trained the desires of their heart.

    The more you give your time and attention to something the more you create deep cravings for it in your heart.

    This is why when you have to pray, there is always a fight within your entire being. Deep within your spirit, there is the prompting to pray. Your mind is aware of the benefits of prayer, yet your will is struggling between the craving of your flesh and the prompting of your spirit.

    It will amaze you to know that the craving of your flesh travels through the impressions of your emotions. Your flesh uses the force of the desires hewn from your emotions to influence your actions.

    Channel your emotions towards the Lord. Allow the word of God to saturate your desires.

    Selah.

    LET NOTHING KEEP YOU AT
    A DISTANCE FROM GOD 1

    “we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced by faith that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity and we have been freed from an accusing conscience and now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!”

    Hebrews 10:22 (TPT)

     
    God made man and planted Him in His presence for eternal communion.
     
    Man was not made to live outside God’s presence. However, after Adam turned away from God’s instructions, he became guilty at heart and couldn’t approach God’s presence.

    He hid himself from the presence of the Lord because of guilt and the sense of condemnation.

    That has always been the challenge of man after sin entered the world.
     
    The matter of sin, guilt, and a sense of condemnation is rooted in unbelief. But the only way man can commune with God is by faith.
     
    To commune with God by faith is to live by the word of God. All things came into being by the word. Man’s relationship with God was according to the speaking of God. 
     
    Man is only able to approach God on the grounds of faith. This faith is a confident assurance in who God is and what He has supplied to man.
     
    Under the Old Covenant, God established the Aaronic Priesthood as a means to usher man into His presence. 
     
    God never wanted to be distanced from His people. No matter the corruption of man, He still made provisions to reach out to man and to bring him into fellowship with Him.
     
    When the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord instructed Moses to build a tabernacle, that He might be in their midst. The tabernacle had the outer court, where animal sacrifices were made. 
     
    It also had the holy place (which had the seven lampstands, the table of shewbread, and the altar of incense) and then the most Holy Place. 
     
    The Holy Place was not made accessible to everyone. It was only the High Priest who had the consecration to enter the Most Holy Place. It was there in the Holy Place, God’s glory manifested. 
     
    The ark of the covenant was kept in the Most Holy Place. A special veil separated the most holy place from the other parts of the tabernacle. 
     
    Now understand that, though God made Moses to consecrate the High Priest to be the only person to legally enter the Most Holy Place, God in His wisdom made provision to commune with the entire nation of Israel in the Most Holy Place.
     
    Aaron, as a high priest was a representative of God to the people and the people to God. He was to wear a special garment that distinguished and separated him for his assignment. This high priest’s garment had shoulder pieces that held the breastplate and the ephod (which we will discuss further later). The shoulder pieces were made of two onyx stones (one on each shoulder), and upon each of the onyx stones will be engraved with six names of the twelve tribes of Israel. (Exodus 28:2-12)
     
    Meaning Aaron was adorned in this gracious garment to be a representation of the children of Israel before the Lord.
     
    “You shall put the two stones on the [two] shoulder pieces of the ephod [of the high priest], as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.“ Exodus 28:12 (Amplified Bible)
     
    Whenever the High Priest stood before the Lord in the most Holy place, it was a memorial before the Lord that the entire nation of Israel was before Him.
     
    God fellowshiped with the whole nation through the High Priest.
     
    But the High Priest couldn’t just draw close or enter the Most Holy Place.
     
    Before he could enter the Most Holy Place, there were some specific things which have to be in place. Apart from the burning of incense (Leviticus 16:12-13), another crucial thing he needed was an unblemished blood (Leviticus 16:3; Hebrews 9:7).
    With these things in place, the High Priest enters the Holy place or draws close to the presence of the Lord with confidence.

    The High Priest approaching God’s presence with confidence was the entire nation approaching God with confidence.

    Everything in and about the tabernacle is a prophetic and typographical representation of Jesus, His redemptive work and what He accomplished through His life, death and resurrection.
     
    Jesus has a better Priesthood than that of Aaron. Aaron’s Priesthood produced a temporal experience of God’s presence; however, Jesus did an eternal work and ushered all who shall believe in Him into an eternal fellowship with God without any sense of guilt.
     
    Under the Aaronic Priesthood, there were yearly sacrifices made. But Jesus, who is the perfect High Priest, made a perfect, eternal sacrifice once and for all.
     
    “And by his one perfect sacrifice he made us perfectly holy and complete for all time!” Hebrews 10:14 (TPT).
     
    Now we are not like Adam, who had to hide himself from the presence of God. We are not like the Israelites, who needed yearly offerings before they gained some temporal confidence before the Lord. And then after some limited time, they become guilty of sin. We are saved through Christ’s perfect and eternal sacrifice.
     
    Now through Christ’s sacrifice, we have eternal access into God’s presence. We dwell and enjoy His presence every day, not because of our self-righteousness, but by the perfection of Jesus.
     
    Adam hid from God because of guilt and a sense of condemnation through the sin of unbelief. We boldly approach and enjoy the Lord because of the blood of Jesus.
     
    Refuse to distance yourself from the Lord.

    Don’t allow any guilt or wrong to draw you away from God.

    Live daily in the confidence of the eternal sacrifice of Jesus.
