DISCOVER YOUR TREASURE;

(Dig Deep Within Yourself) ;

TO THE BIBLE Ephesians 4:28 CEV ;

“…Be honest and work hard, so you will have something to give to people in need.”

LET’S TALK

Have you ever considered how Joseph, a slave and prisoner, became Prime minister in Egypt? Well, one of the things Joseph did was that he used his gifts to serve others, and God promoted him to a level no one would have thought possible at the time.

To succeed in life, you must be doing something that’s of great benefit to people. Pastor Chris always says the first requirement for success is to look out for a human need and reach out to meet that need.

Don’t wait for someone, the government, or the society to give you what you need; make things happen by yourself! Dig deep within you and discover the treasure and talents God has deposited there. Put them to work, and the anointing of the Lord will cause them to produce and multiply. Before long, what you started will grow and you’ll be a source of blessing to others.

God requires an effort on your part; He needs a point of contact for your miracle. Once you put that effort into what He has inspired you to do, His miracle-power comes upon your efforts and His glory shows up in what you do. The effort you put in becomes strengthened by His mighty hand. And that’s what’s most important—God’s touch upon your life that causes His glory to be revealed in what you do.

KEEP SAYING IT!

(There’s Power In Your Words)

TO THE BIBLE Acts 19:20

“So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.”

“Gosh! I think I’ll just give up on Mathematics altogether!” Jane sighed despondently as she received her score-sheet. She didn’t seem to have made any progress despite the several hours she had put in trying to understand the subject. In fact, her score this term was lower than the previous term’s, and her morale nose-dived.

When you find yourself in a difficult situation, don’t think of throwing in the towel like Jane. Remember that nothing is impossible with you as a child of God. No matter how hopeless a situation may seem, you can change it. Refuse to be one who easily gets frustrated and gives up just because the goal seems difficult to reach. Rather, take hold of God’s Word and keep declaring it.

Strong faith doesn’t give up; it maintains its confession even in the face of staggering opposition. Remember, Ezekiel talked to dry bones and they came to life; Jesus talked to boisterous winds and waves and they became calm. You too can change any hopeless situation in your life with your faith-filled confessions and actions. The Word of God on your lips is God talking. And irrespective of what you see, hear, feel, or how negative things may look in the natural, don’t stop speaking the Word. It’s the key to the miracle you desire.

GO DEEPER

Matthew 17:20, Mark 11:2

SPEAK

I’m causing positive changes in my life through my faith-filled confessions. There’s no situation I can’t change, because my words are anointed to produce results, and I have world-overcoming faith, glory to God!

ENFORCE GOD’S WORD;

(Make God’s Word Work For You)

TO THE BIBLE Hebrews 13:5-6 TLB

“Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never, never fail you nor forsake you.” That is why we can say without any doubt or fear, “The Lord is my Helper, and I am not afraid of anything that mere man can do to me.””

LET’S TALK

Psalm 119:89 (NIV) says “Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens,” which means that in heaven, everything about God’s Word is firm and settled. All the angels and demons know it! However, Satan would have you believe it doesn’t work here on earth; that’s why you’ve got to enforce it for you! If you would dare to take God at His Word and do what He says, you’ll cause the Word of God to be done in your life, as it’s been done in heaven.

As far as the Lord is concerned, He’s given you everything – health, riches, power, abundant grace, wisdom and strength. However, you’ve got to believe and confess these blessings to enjoy them! Refuse to accept anything else than what the Word says.

If symptoms of sickness, poverty or defeat show up in your life, don’t consider them. Rather, say, “It is written of me: I’m the healed and not the sick! I’m rich and not poor! I’m a success and a victor in Christ!” That’s the way to make sure God’s Word is settled in your life—through your confessions of faith—speaking in agreement with the Lord what He’s already said about you .

Pray

Dear Father, I’m what your Word says I am. It’s working and producing the fruit of what it talks about in me! I live in your divine health; I live in your supernatural abundance and continuous victory for me everyday. Your Word is settled in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

NO FEAR HERE!

(You’re Secure In Christ)

TO THE BIBLE Daniel 6:26-27 AMPC

“I make a decree that in all my royal dominion men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for He is the living God, enduring and steadfast forever, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed and His dominion shall be even to the end [of the world]. He is a Savior and Deliverer, and He works signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth–He Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

LET’S TALK

Our God is a deliverer and rescuer. Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” What this simply means is that if you’re in Christ, you’re safe. No wonder Colossians 3:3 says, “…your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” In other words, Christ is your security, your defence, and your fortress.

The Bible instructs you not to fear, because Jesus is able to save anyone who comes to God by Him (Hebrews 7:25). David charged his son Solomon when he was crowing him King of Israel to “…be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed” (1 Chronicles 22:13 KJV).

In the same vein, I charge you today, “Do not fear! Refuse to give attention to any information that makes the enemy seem powerful. When anything comes against you, fortify your spirit by listening to faith-filled words again and again. As you do, faith will take over your spirit and it’ll become impossible for you to think or talk fear!”

Psalm 32:7, Mark 16:18

Speak

I refuse to fear. I am afraid of nothing and no one, for the enemy has been defeated. I proclaim my victory and my glory in Christ Jesus. I walk in the light of God’s Word and I tell of His glory to the ends of the earth. Glory to God!

KINGLY TALK;

(Talk Like The King That You Are)

TO THE BIBLE Ephesians 4:29 AMPC

“Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.”

LET’S TALK

I once heard a remarkable story about a young prince of France. When the French revolution took place, the revolutionists killed his father and got a hold of the young boy, desiring to kill him. Some, however, disapproved of immediate execution, saying, “He’s too young and innocent; if we kill him now, he’ll go to heaven. And that’s too good for his wicked father.”

So, they gave him over to a witch to teach him to curse and use abusive language, after which they would kill him, so he could go to hell. She tried so hard to teach this young boy to curse, but he just wouldn’t. One day, he finally spoke up and said, “I cannot say such things; I was born to be a King!” He wouldn’t curse or use foul language.

Like that young prince, let your vocabulary reflect your princely status in Christ. Get to the level where people marvel at your personality, because they hear you speak in a kingly manner (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).

For instance, if you wake up in the morning feeling hot and feverish, don’t say, “I have a fever!” Rather, put your hands on yourself and say “I’ve got the life of God in me! I command the fever to stop in Jesus’ Name.” You’re not ordinary, so don’t talk ordinary! Let your vocabulary always measure up with your kingly status in Christ!

GET A GRIP!

(Exercise Self-Control From Within);

TO THE BIBLE 2 Peter 1:5-6 NIV

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control….”

LET’S TALK

When you’re enticed by your peers to do something you know you shouldn’t, don’t yield (Proverbs 1:10). Recognise that you’ve got selfcontrol, because it’s a fruit of your recreated human spirit. It’s the virtue of someone who’s gotten a grip over his body, passions, and desires from within. Self-control is the ability to say “yes” to the right things, and “no” to whatever is inconsistent with the God-life. This virtue is already in you as a Christian, but you have to let it work.

Self-control is more than just choosing the good over the bad; it’s also about making choices for the best. For example, making the choice to study your Bible rather than watch the late-night movie is exercising self-control. Cutting down on your sleep time so you can wake up early to pray or study your books is also exercising selfcontrol. Perhaps, an urge has arisen within you to give in to the wrong thing or respond negatively to a situation. Jesus is your perfect example of one who exercised selfcontrol: when He was insulted and treated badly by others, He never got even (1 Peter 2:23). Copy Jesus. Say ‘Yes!’ to the right things, and ‘No!’ to what’s wrong.
