“And I will multiply upon you man and beast;and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that  I am the Lord”.

Ezekiel 36:11

                Every thing happened in our life has a purpose. As our faith expands the Lord will multiply the seed of our growth, prosperity and peace. The above Verse is a wonderful promise. Here is Lords guarantee for us that we increase, endure and will be fruitful. He will multiply our number and strength. He will increase the  fruits of our lips, the fruit of our womb, the fruit of our spirit and labour.

Psalms115:14 “ The Lord shall increase you more and more,you and your children”.

             The above verse promises that the Lord will do better to us  now than at the beginning of our faith walk with Him. God has reserved something better for us in future and in eternity than our expectation.He will send us the latter rain,the morning dew of His compassion and love to bless us.   (Joel.   2:23)

We will know the Lord more intimately and our dependence and love for Him will increase. We will know that every increase in Joy,peace,prosperity,health,wisdom,influence,strength and grace has come from none but from the Lord  Himself.

         The Lord strengthen us to face our challenges and He establishes our work. The more blessed we are, we should humble ourselves more before the Lord.

James 4:10 “Humble yourselves  in the sight of the Lord,and He shall lift you up”.

This is the only way to avoid pride and defeat the temptations to take the glory for our selves. We  must decrease and He must increase

John3:30 “He must increase ,but I must decrease “.

             We are fearfully and wonderfully made.Psalms 139:14.. The Word  ‘fruit’in this verse do not mean the material or monetary or edible fruit. The fruit from the perspective of God is the spiritual fruit of love,peace,joy,forbearance,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness andselfcontrol. (Galatians5:22)These nine  qualities of the spiritual fruit is the base of all round moral, social , personal and spiritual excellence.we are chosen to bear such fruit and bear it increasingly . His Word inspire us to bear more fruit and the word gives us protection from the enemy . The “ old estate “is a metaphor for our dwelling places on earth while our “new estate”is the mansion the Lord prepares for us in the eternal realm.

        We should not wait for the promises to be fulfilled but fill our hearts and minds with thanksgiving,praise and worship of the awesomeness of the Lord. He will not allow afflictions to come upon us a second time.     Nahum 1:9

“…….affliction shall not rise up the second time “.We might have many difficulties to endure, many challenges to overcome but we need to be ever confident that the Lord is faithful and able to do that which He promised us

          When the Lord Himself inhabit us, we are filled with hope ,assurance that the Word He has spoken to us personally will be fulfilled in His time. He is the source of our victory and provision.

               _{Our Heavenly Father we believe and claim your promises that you are going to increase us in all areas of our life. Thank you  Jesus. In Jesus name I  pray, Amen.}

GOD WILL GO WITH YOU

Deuteronomy 31:6 Moses told the Israelites to be strong , courageous and firm. Do you what it means to be firm ? It means to stick to what you know is right without letting anything or anyone talk you out of it.

Moses also told Joshua that he was to be strong , courageous and firm because he was to lead the people into the land that the Lord has given them. He assured him that the Lord would never fail him or forsake him and that God would go with him to lead him to victory .God makes that same promise to you and me today.

It is comforting to know that everywhere we go , God has been before to prepare the way.
Whatever your situation, know that God promises to go with you. If you have a court case coming up , you need to understand that God has already gone ahead of you into the court before you arrive. Or, if you need to confront your employer about some issue at work ,believe what the Word says. Trust God that he will give you favor and give you the right words to speak in loving ways when the time comes .

Whenever you go , whatever your circumstances, ask God to go before you go and prepare the way. He will do it —- then all you have to do is follow.

Thousands of thoughts are presented to our minds every day, and we must allow our minds to be renewed after the spirit and not after the flesh .Our carnal minds have had so much practice operating freely that we can think wrong thoughts without much efforts at all. On the other hand, we must have to purposely choose to think right thoughts. After we have finally decided to be like – minded with God , then we will need to choose and continue to choose rights thoughts.

When we begin to feel that the battle of the mind is just too difficult and that we are not going to make it, we must cast down the negative kind of thinking. We must choose to think that we are going to make it and decide not to quit. When bombarded with doubts and fears , we need to take a stand and say:" I will never give up! God is on my side. He loves me, and He is helping me!"

You and I will have many choices to make throughout our lives. In Deuteronomy 30:19, the Lord told his people that he had set before them to choose life.

Pro 18:21 also tells us we can choose life or death. It says ,“Death and life are in power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for life or death].”

Our thoughts became our words. Therefore , it is vitally very important that we choose life giving thoughts and trust on our God for every direction.Amen

“When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.”

Luke 7:9

Jesus Christ, God in flesh, was marvelled and astonished at the faith of a Gentile Army man, the Centurion, a commander in charge of 100 Roman Soldiers. Although there were many instances, we find in Bible wherein because of the faith people received healing from Jesus but what was so extra-ordinary in this case?

Centurion was a man of authority, enjoying great powers and was wealthy and influential. We see how he is mindful of the depleting condition of his servant and wanted him to be healed. He only heard about Jesus how he is healing and performing all the miracles in Israel and believed and accepted that Jesus is a man of Supreme Authority. Although he could have used his powers and could have ordered Jesus to come to him but he humbled himself so much so that he didn’t consider himself worthy enough to go and stand before Him rather asked the Jewish Leaders, the esteemed ones in Israel, to plead for him. (Isaiah 49:7, Proverbs 15:33)

Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:4)

Further when he got to know that Jesus is on his way, he was baffled and would have said within himself, “Do I deserve to welcome God in my place? No. He completely emptied himself and sent his friends to request Jesus to say the word of healing only for his servant recognizing that the His Word only can heal (Psalm 107:20). He displayed his unshaken confidence in the authority of Jesus and also in his unworthiness to have God himself in his place. What can we boast about and be proud of to receive God’s favour? Nothing but only His grace can save us and that’s the only thing we can boast about.

Faith in God is to be shown by our works (James 2:26) and the Centurion, a Gentile, demonstrated the greatest faith acknowledging Jesus’s Godly authority and the power of His Word. In God’s Kingdom, there is neither Jew or Gentile but we all are one in Christ (Galatians 3:28) and through Faith only we can come to Him. (Ephesians 3:12)

“Heavenly Father, help us to humble ourselves completely and acknowledge that we have nothing that we can be proud of but only You Lord as You have adopted us as your sons and daughters through the sacrifice of Your son Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to show that faith that the Centurion showed before everyone and evangelize the whole World. In Jesus name we ask, Amen”

JESUS AND HIS NIGHT VISITOR

“ God so loved the world so much that he have his only son, so that every one who believes in him may not die but have eternal life” John 3: 16.

Nicodemus, a Jewish leader who was a Pharisee and also a great teacher of Israel came to Jesus at night time and stated “ Rabi, we know that you are a teacher Sent by God.” No one could perform the miracles you are doing unless God were with him” Jesus said ”No one can see the Kingdom of God, unless he is Born Again” Nicodemus exclaimed ‘How can a grown man be born again? He certainly cannot enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time?

Jesus taught him many secrets:

1.No one can enter the Kingdom of God,Unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

2. A person is born physically of human Parents but he is born Spiritually of the spirit.

3. “You must all be born again” When the wind blows, we hear its sound, but we do not know where it comes from or where it goes. It is like that with everyone who is born of the spirit.

4. No one has ever gone up to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from heaven.

Jesus prayed in nights and God guided him, directed his path and gave strength to him.

Prayer

Lord! Let many people come to you day and night and you fill them with your love and light.

Worship is sacrifice

Worship is sacrifice and sacrifice is worship. The Mind of Christ is sacrifice. Apostle Paul says in

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Jesus always put on the Mind of God His Father and likewise we are advised to put on the mind of Christ. Yes very truly the Mind of Christ is sacrifice. Look at the verses of Philippians 2:7-8

We see the mind of Christ very clearly that He made Himself of no reputation, meaning He considered Himself as nothing totally zero. What a mind Christ put in on Him. The verse says in Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: He was God, in the form of Man did not thought to be a robbery to be equal with God. Even though He was in the form of God He humbled Himself and sacrificed His life as an obedient servant of God to the point of death.

The cross was His daily passion while on earth as He daily developed as a sweet smelling sacrifice to His God His Father. Therefore every time He came to His Father God He poured His life as a living sacrifice as His worship.

We look through out the Gospel that He was a perfect living sacrificial lamb of God an perfect example for us to follow His path to the Father God in heaven. He was always saying I do my Father’s Will. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place even to His right hand as we see in Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So dear brothers and sisters let us purge ourselves from everything that separates us from God as Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Praise be to God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name

– Psalm 103:1 

We are so blessed that our God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He satisfies us with all good things and renews our youth like an eagle’s .

A couple months back I had a severe allergic reaction to a food while having lunch , it caused the throat and airways to get choked up and even breathing was difficult via the mouth . I understood the gravity of the situation and quickly left the dining table to avoid causing panic to my family members . I went to my room and at that moment of total helplessness prayed to the Lord , the Holy Spirit gave me promise verses to claim and pray with according to Psalm 118:17 “ I shall not die,  but live and declare the works of the Lord” and also

By that time my family members realized that something is not right and came to my room and I realized that if I had taken an allergy medication or gone to hospital it would have taken at least 20-30 minutes to get relief and at that moment every second was vital because there was difficulty in breathing and the result might not have been good . Though I was surrounded by family they were almost in a helpless situation to help me “ for the help of man is worthless , with God we will gain the victory” Psalm 60:11-12 . And we all know “if God is with us who can be against us” – Romans 8:31 and “No weapon forged against you will prosper “– Isaiah 54:17 

Such a wonderful miracle God showed in my life , I didn’t have to take any medication or even visit the doctor , the word of God healed me and saved me . Such a powerful and wonderful God we have , for He says “ I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me ?”

Yes Lord nothing is hard for you , for everything is possible through you , in you and with you . Amen 

When we claim God’s promise verses in our prayers , it makes prayers more powerful . For we know in the armour of God , the only offensive weapon we have to fight the enemy is the “sword of the Spirit , which is the word of God “– Ephesians 6:17 

When I was scared and helpless the Holy Spirit brought to my mind all these wonderful and powerful promise verses . Even though I wasn’t able to pray or speak properly , I just claimed these promise verses and the Lord Almighty healed me instantaneously . Such loving mercy !!

So it is extremely important to read the Bible , the Word of God . Because if we do not read and know the word of God , how can be pray according to God’s will . When we read and meditate on the Bible verses , the Holy Spirit speaks to us through these beautiful promise verses for Jesus says in John 14:26 “ the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you “ 

Prayer 

_{Loving Heavenly Father ,  Lord we trust in you with all our heart and we will not lean on our own understanding . In all our ways we will acknowledge you and you will make all our paths straight . Yes Lord, we will worry about nothing but pray about everything with thanksgiving , and the peace of the Lord which transcends human understanding will come and guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus}

^{Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.}

Rev 3:20

An extremely familiar scripture from the bible, in this we see our Lord gently knocking at our door, He will not push or break it open, No! He will knock gently at the door of your heart, if you let Him in then, He will dine with you and you with Him.

Let us go to Isaiah 45:1-2 here in the last part, this same Jesus says,” I will go before you and break the gates of bronze in pieces and cut the bars of iron”. At your door He knocks gently but, your enemy’s gates let it be of any material, make or size, He breaks it for you such is His commitment to you.

It could also be a gate that is remaining closed for generations, Psalm 24:7 says Lift up your heads, O you gates, And, lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! When the King of glory comes in there is no need of even knocking, breaking, cutting, every door lifts up before Him. Hallelujah!!This King of glory is strong and mighty in battle and the Lord of Hosts.

Judges 16:3 Post Samson’s tryst with the harlot in Gaza, the lords of Philistines were waiting to get hold of him, but at midnight Samson removed the gate of the city, gateposts, bar, and all, which is unparalleled. He did not throw it there but carried it from Gaza which is 100 feet above sea level to Hebron, a distance of 36 miles and 3300 feet above sea level. Only God’s power can help a mere man perform this extraordinary feat of strength. This is the God of Israel! He can empower you to destroy your closed doors.

Walls have been there as long as; we have been there. Brittanica.com says, the Walls of Jericho, are massive stone walls surrounding the settlement in Jericho were at least 13 feet (4 metres) in height and backed by a watchtower or redoubt some 28 feet tall, were intended to protect the settlement and its water supply from human intruders. The walls were so strong , that it was impossible for the Israelites to enter the promised land, but God had spoken and He was not lost at strategy.

Seven priests blowing trumpets went ahead of the ark of the Lord’s covenant, the armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord. This was done all 7 days except on the 7^th day, they went around the wall 7 times and Joshua commanded them to shout, that fortified a wall, fell before the Israelites like a pack of cards, that they could just walk straight in.( Joshua 6)

Rev 3:7 says Jesus holds the key of David, what He opens no one can shut and what He shuts no can open. Are there doors, walls, gates shut before you, impeding your progress?

You have the keys to it all, different doors have different keys, you must know which key to use. That can be found in the word of God, at the place of prayer. But first you will have to let Jesus come in, He is the access code. Let this be a door opening month for you in Jesus mighty name! Amen!!

Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

Psalm 27:13

“Yes, it is a time of My goodness being poured out on My people. It is a time of breakthrough. It is a time of miracles… If you press into Me, you will see My goodness poured out in your life unlike anything you have ever known. It will be abundantly above all you could ever imagine. However, if you do not press into Me, you will see nothing. You will not taste of My goodness; you will not see My miracles in your life. You will see nothing in this time. It is entirely up to you what you experience during this time. Press into Me and taste of My goodness being poured out, or refuse to press into Me and receive nothing.”

Prophetic words are awesome things. We all love them. However, often we have a part to play in them, such as this one. Yes, God wants to pour out His goodness and His miracles. However, if we are not seeking Him, pressing into Him and His Word, we are going to miss this time of visitation.

When we become born again, our salvation is secured. However, there are some things we are going to have to press in and take, like our prosperity and our health. The enemy will do everything in his power to delay or hinder what legally belongs to us, and he can…if we allow him to. However, if we press in, there is nothing that can stop the promises of God from coming to pass in our lives…absolutely nothing.

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12)

Luke 19:44 talks about failing to recognize our time of visitation from the Lord. I believe that is where we are. Will we recognize our time of visitation? Will we do what is needed to receive all God has for us during this time? I certainly hope so; I pray so.

Friends, the Way Maker is on the scene. Will you press in and receive all He has for you?

Ministry for God and not for man

Colossians 3:24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

I was praying for many days for guidance of the Holyspirit for writing an article for daniel academy.Finally I decided to write about fulfilment of many prophecies fulfilled in my life.But Today morning I got the verse colosian3:24. from the Holyspirit.In this verse apostle paul teaches us not to crave for fame and honour by men for our good deeds in ministry and society. He emphazies the importance of serving the lord or men withot expecting any rewatd or recognition by men. We should do everything for the glory of God.We are human and we expect that we should be recognised by others for our achievements and good deeds.we are happy when men honours us and are unhappy when the men dont honour us.The believers also expect these honours for their good deeds or their prayers or their role in worship or for any other noble deeds. Some expect remuneration also.But the Holyspirit teaches us not to expect any recognition from men for our good deeds. .we should not expect any benefit for our service to men and God.Actually when we do anything for the glory of God we receive an inner happiness .

St. John 2:25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.

In this verse we see Jesus did not do any miracles to get acknowledged by man but did everything according to the will of God The Father.

Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Today we see a lot of people to get recognition from people they preach according to the will and benefit of the people than the truth according to The Bible.

But we should always know that we receive our inheritance from The Lord and not from man.

Testimony

It took sevaral years for me to follow this teaching of The Holyspirit. Now I can say that I have overcome the feeling of pride and never rexpect recognition or benefit for our good deeds . I thank the Holyspirit for His teaching .

The Father-Heart Of God.

There is a beautiful story in the Bible about the Father-Heart of God’s love.

In the story God reveals himself not as A Father- creator but as a Father-Redeemer.

 Isaiah saw this two- fold revelation of God’s character ..To buy and bring fallen man backInto the God’s purpose, cost the Father, the life of His only Son Jesus when He died on the Cross to redeem us from eternal death.

According to God’s instruction Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering ,fire and a knife. Then lsaac spoke and said”look the fire and the wood are here, but where is the burnt offering?”

Now God after some twenty years or So tells the old father to offer up his son as a sacrifice to Him.

*The purpose of this story is to reveal an important truth because it is prophetic picture of God’s plan of redemption of all  .lsaac was an obedient son ,he is a type of the Lord Jesus.Two thousand years later we see this story unfolds without any last minute rescue of the  one who gives his life for sacrifice. Isaac asked his father,” Father where is the Lamb?” *And Abraham said,” God will provide a lamb for a burnt offering”.

Abraham and Isaac are a beautiful type of the Father- son relationship within the Godhead. In Gene 22:2 note that the word LOVE appeared for the first time in the Bible—“Take……your son, lsaac whom you love”.

If Abraham loved his son, how much more did God love His one and only Son! John’s gospel shows it all.We are amazed and wonder stuck .

John 3:16 says :“For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, whoever believes in him should not perish,but have everlasting life.”

They “Walked Together”. Yes, the Father has loved His son; from all eternity past…John17:14 says how much they loved One Another!.

But we too are included in this love.lt was from before the day foundation of the world, that the Lamb of God was to be slained. lt is beyond our understanding but the Father and Son planned in love for our redemption before the world was even created. They “ walked together” in that love_– for you and  me .More than that they  “worked it out together “on the Cross. Its true that a Holy God cannot look upon the sin but His Holy Son Jesus took the sins of the whole world upon His Holy body.He who knew no sin became sin for us, that in Him, we might become righteous before God. 2Corth 5:21.

Father never forsook Jesus in His agony in that horrible hour. Father felt the same pain what the son felt on the cross but because the Father is so pure and Holy that He could not bear to see his son’s Holy body laden with sins and so for the first time in all eternity past, His fellowship with the beloved Son was broken!

Isiah59:2 “….your iniquities have separated you from your God.”

Testimony

^{Sin is like fire.It burns and destroys ,the worst part is that it separates us from a loving God. Many people are in hell because they played with this fire carelessly.Today is the day of salvation,if we repent and ask for forgiveness,God is faithful to pardon us. I did that we all must come to Him to be cleansed with His blood and take hold of eternal life.}

Prayer

Thank you Father  for giving  your Holy and beloved son to suffer and die in our place because of our sins.Thank you Lord Jesus for paying in full the penalty for our sins .
