ACTIVATE THE BLESSING OF ASHER

It doesn't take special insight to know that life is not going to get easier. It is always going to come with challenges. What we need is strength to match the challenges of the time and triumph over them. What we need is to grow in strength with time.  Long ago I heard Reverend (Dr.) Tunde Joda say " Life is a function of strength ." I later heard Pastor Gbolahan Daniel say, " Only the strong will survive ." Another way of saying it is that we all need to activate the blessing of Asher, the eighth son of Israel. That blessing belongs to every child of God. " Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and AS THY DAYS, so shall thy STRENGTH be ." (Deuteronomy 33:25, KJV). " The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your STRENGTH will EQUAL your days ." (NIV). “ Your STRONGHOLDS will be iron and bronze, And AS YOUR DAYS ARE, so will your STRENGTH, your rest and SECURITY be. " (Amplified). The blessing of Asher is a blessing of TRIUMPH o...

BELOVED OF GOD

“ Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not LIE unto DAVID . ” (Psalms 89:35). This promise of God to DAVID struck me in an unusual way during my study because the Spirit of God connected it with the meaning of DAVID .  THE NAME DAVID   In Hebrew DAVID means BELOVED. It also means FAVOURITE . A name is not just an identity tag. It is also a prophetic tag because it speaks about the destiny of the bearer. In the mind of God your name should affect your expectation in life. The name God calls you is stronger than any name man could call you. It is stronger than your circumstances. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? You have a name. But do you know what God calls you? In His covenant with Jesus Christ God has given you a name that you can't afford to ignore. God calls you BELOVED. “As he saith also in Osee, I will CALL THEM my people, which were not my people; and her BELOVED , which was not beloved .” (Romans 9:25). In Christ Jesus you are God’s BELOVED. You are His FAVOURITE. You a...

CALLED TO REIGN THROUGH PRAISE

"B ut you are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM [God] who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light ". T his verse clearly says that believers in Christ, the children of God are King-Priests. In other words their kingship has its roots in spiritual works. The emphasis of the spiritual work in this verse is on praise!  A life of faith is a life of praise. O, praise is so important to the blessed life! God chose the believer in Christ to declare His praise. The rest is only details. If you understand this you will see victory every where as the story of Paul and Silas clearly demonstrates. Please you may need to read Acts Chapter 16 later for a thorough understanding. Praise is stronger than circumstance. PAUL SETS A DAMSEL FREE! Paul was only doing the will of God by setting free a damsel possessed by the spirit of divination. ln the sight of God the freedom of the damsel was...
