PRESENT YOUR STRONG REASONS
Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob (Isaiah 41:21).

Luke 7:1-7 tells a remarkable story about a centurion and his servant. Jesus had just finished teaching the people and entered Capernaum where a centurion's servant was gravely ill, almost at the point of death. The centurion, deeply concerned for his servant, sent Jewish elders to beseech the Master to come and heal his servant.

When the elders approached the Master, He didn’t immediately go with them until they gave Him compelling reasons why the centurion was worthy of His attention: “And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them..." (Luke 7:4-6).

Notice the underlined part; the Lord only agreed to go with them to heal the centurion’s servant after they presented their strong reasons. This further illustrates the principle found in Isaiah 41:21, where God challenges the children of Israel to bring forth their strong reasons. This is something we take advantage of when interceding for others: we present our requests with strong, heartfelt reasons. We take God’s Word back to Him as the basis for our arguments, why what we’re asking for has to be done, because it’s in line with His Word.

Remember what the prophet said, “Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips” (Hosea 14:2). So in prayer, you go with compelling words, God’s Word concerning the situation you’re dealing with. The elders we referenced earlier presented their strong reasons effectively; their arguments were based on the centurion’s genuine love and significant acts of kindness, showing that with compelling reasons you can influence divine actions. Write down your arguments; present your reasons thoughtfully, with strong convictions and you’ll always prevail. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, you want all peoples to be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Therefore, I pray for those who haven’t yet received Jesus as Lord, that today, as your children preach your Word, all over the world, the light of the glorious Gospel will shine brightly without restrictions, dispelling darkness, and ushering many into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

AUTHORITY RESTORED
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Romans 5:19).

In Matthew 4:8-9, we read the account where the devil tempted Jesus by offering Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, on the condition that Jesus would bow down and worship him. The devil was not merely offering wealth or power, he was calling for worship, demanding that Jesus acknowledge his authority over the world.

To understand this, let’s examine the same account in Luke 4:5-7, where the devil shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and says, “...All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it” (Luke 4:6). The devil claimed that all the power and glory of the world were delivered to him, but how did he get it? Certainly, God didn’t give it to him!

To answer this, let’s read Paul’s apologia in 1 Timothy 2:14: “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Eve was deceived by the devil, but Adam wasn’t. Adam wilfully chose to disobey God and obey Satan. This act of treason against God is what led to the fall of man. Adam’s wilful disobedience resulted in the loss of the dominion God had given him over the earth. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12).

By yielding to Satan, Adam effectively handed over his God-given authority to the devil, making Satan the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan became the ruler of the world systems, taking dominion over the earth; a role intended for Adam. But thanks be unto God! Jesus, through His death, burial and resurrection, reclaimed the dominion and delivered it back to us. His vicarious sacrifice and resurrection in our behalf was the ultimate victory through which the power of Satan was broken, and the authority of Christ was established forever in, and through His Church. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. I rejoice in the knowledge that through His sacrifice, the authority lost by Adam has been restored to us in Christ. I walk in this victory every day, knowing that I’ve been translated into the Kingdom of your Love-Son, enjoying the glorious liberty of the saints in light, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

YOU DON’T NEED TESTIMONY FROM DEMONS
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us…The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour (Acts 16:16-18).

From what we just read, someone might wonder, why was Paul grieved, wasn’t the girl telling the truth? Paul and his companions were indeed servants of the most high God, and that’s what the girl was chanting. Well, Paul perceived that she was speaking by an evil spirit, that’s why he was grieved, turned to the girl and commanded the evil spirit to come out of her in the Name of Jesus, and she was instantly free.

The girl’s words might have been factual, but we don’t need the testimony from demons to tell us who we are. It brings to mind the words of Jesus in John 5:34, "But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved" (John 5:34). The Lord didn’t need human approval, let alone the testimony of demons. Mark 1:23-25 says, “And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.” The Father had already testified of Jesus, and His works also bore witness to His divine mission (John 5:36-37).

Likewise, Paul understood that no testimony from demons, even if factual, was acceptable. Some people might feel a sense of pride or validation if a demon were to recognize their spiritual authority. However, we must understand that our validation comes from Christ, not from the acknowledgement of men or demons.

When the girl declared, "These men are the servants of the most high God," it was not a godly declaration but a deceptive act of the devil hiding behind her voice. Paul’s anger wasn’t from a human point of view; rather, he was spiritually grieved. This is why he commanded the spirit to come out of her. You must also reject any voice of the devil that pretends to speak for God, and cast them out when they manifest themselves.

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the authority we have in Christ Jesus. I stand firm in the truth of your Word, led by your Spirit always to discern every deceptive voice and reject anything that is not from you. My validation is from Christ alone, and I exercise his authority with boldness and wisdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned (Hebrews 11:29).

When Moses and the children of Israel were in front of the Red Sea, Moses began to pray to God for help. But God interrupted him with a command: "Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground" (Exodus 14:15-16, NIV).

God instructed Moses to act; it was a moment of action for Moses. It wasn’t time to “wait” for God to do something but for Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea and divide it, which he did, leading to the miraculous parting of the Red Sea. Imagine if Moses had started questioning, "Lord, where will the water go? It’s water; it has to flow somewhere."

But the Bible shows us what happened to the water in a song of praise sung by Moses and the Israelites after their miraculous deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. The waters piled up; it stood up like a wall: "By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea" (Exodus 15:8 NIV).

When you believe, don’t ask too many questions; act! Act on the Word. When doubts arise, shake them off and declare, "All things are possible to me because I believe." Speak God’s truths. Utter words of faith—words inspired in you by the Holy Spirit—and watch God move. Faith is a leap on the Word; you take your step on the basis of what God has said and refuse to be moved by contrary and opposing circumstances. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that builds my faith and strengthens my spirit. I refuse to be moved by circumstances, for I walk by faith, not by sight. With the power of the Holy Spirit, I subdue the forces and elements of this world; I’m triumphant always and in every place, impacting my world with the blessings of the Gospel of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE SUFFERINGS ENDED WITH CHRIST
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:10-11).

The prophets of old, inspired by the Holy Spirit, testified of the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. Christ already suffered, which means we’re now in the days of His glory. You don’t need to suffer or think that suffering should be a part of your life. The suffering ended with Jesus. He suffered for you to have the transcendent life.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” No Christian needs to suffer any more in sickness, disease, penury and defeat. You don’t need to “pay” any additional price outside what Christ already paid for you to enjoy an extraordinary life and be all that God ordained you to be.

God loves you, and He has qualified you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. It’s your heritage in Christ to live your best to the glory of God. He didn’t create you to suffer. When Jesus hung on the Cross, He said, “...It is finished...” (John 19:30). He announced the end to suffering for all humanity. Today, anyone who believes in Him and accepts His vicarious sacrifice is automatically ushered into the life of glory. No wonder Peter, by the Spirit, said in 2 Peter 1:3 that we’ve been called to glory and virtue. Hallelujah!

His sacrifice was enough. He came, lived and died; He was buried and raised back to life, and He ascended. Now He’s seated in the place of dominion, power and great glory; and we’re seated together with Him. All He wants now is for you to enjoy the glory that resulted from His suffering. There’s nothing more you need to do beyond what He already did. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the glorious life you have brought me into in Christ. I rejoice that I now live in the glory that followed the sufferings of Christ. I walk in health, prosperity, victory, and manifest your power, love and the fullness of your grace, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

BORN WITH THE DIVINE LIFE
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever (1 Peter 1:23).

Many haven't fully grasped who a Christian is; they think a Christian is a mere follower of Jesus Christ; no! A Christian is someone who’s born of the Word and has the life of the Word. James 1:18 NKJV says, "Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures." Recall what the Bible says concerning Jesus, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” (John 1:14 NKJV); we were also born in the realm of the Spirit of the same Word.

When you received the Word of God—the Gospel of Jesus Christ—into your spirit, the life that He promised was imparted to your spirit. From that moment, you were awakened to the fatherhood of God. The nature of death ceased, and the life of God took on its operation in your spirit. You became one nature with God. This helps you understand why the Bible says we’re partakers of the divine nature—associates of the Godkind: “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4).

1 John 5:11-12 says, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” Life here is the divine life, the God-life; it supplanted your human life when you were born again. The life inside you isn’t the same as the one inside your next-door neighbour who isn’t a Christian. Outwardly, you may look the same, but the life in you is divine, impregnable, indestructible and indomitable.

1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” The phrase, “Ye are of God” means you hail from God, your origin is divine and so is your life. Blessed be God!

Prayer / Confession
I’m born of God’s incorruptible seed—the Word— therefore, I have the life of the Word and walk in the consciousness of my divine nature. The divine life in me has made me indomitable, indestructible and superior to Satan, circumstances and the elements of this world. I am victorious, and I fully manifest the glory of God every day and in every place, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS A NAME
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19).

Many think that the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Godhead, doesn’t have a name or that “Holy Spirit” is His Name. But no; He does have a name. “Holy Spirit” is the description of His personality, not His name. To say “Holy Spirit” is His name is like you saying your name is “human being"; that doesn’t reveal your personal name. So, calling Him Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit doesn’t tell us His name.

Let me clarify this further. The Father also has a name; "Father" is a title, not a name. For example, your biological father’s name isn’t "Daddy"; Daddy or father only describes his position, function or role, not his individual identity. Similarly, the Holy Spirit has a name that goes beyond the description of His person, role or position, and that name is Jesus.

The Holy Spirit responds to the name of Jesus. It’s important that you understand this. If you want the Holy Spirit to do something, you don’t say, “Holy Spirit, do this or do that”; it’s useless because there’s no place in the entire Bible where we’re instructed to tell the Holy Spirit to do something. Instead, the Holy Spirit moves and works in response to the Name of Jesus.

When you call upon the Name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit manifests the presence of Jesus. This is because Jesus is currently seated on the throne and has remained there since His ascension; but when you call His name, the Holy Spirit moves into operation. Even the Father; He also responds to the Name of Jesus. The Name of Jesus is the name of the Godhead.

Recall what we read in our opening verse: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." In carrying out this instruction, the Apostles baptised people in the Name of Jesus. We do the same today. Hallelujah! The Bible says of Jesus, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell” (Colossians 1:16-19).

Take advantage of this truth today; when you call upon the Name of Jesus, it’s through the Holy Ghost that the presence and power of Jesus are manifested. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of the power in the Name of Jesus. As I call upon the Name of Jesus, the presence of the Holy Ghost is activated in my life, bringing divine intervention and miracles. I live triumphantly every day, knowing that Jesus, the joy of heaven, resides in me and that through His Name, I experience the glory and power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

FERVENT IN SOUL WINNING..the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18).

In Matthew 5:16, the Lord Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” The Bible says in Romans 12:11, “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.”

Serving the Lord as the above verses says, the passion and inspiration of the Spirit in your life is contagious. It overflows and becomes a source of inspiration for those around you. You naturally become a soul winner. When you speak, you pour out spirit and life, impacting your hearers with the power and blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

Now, that inspiration is something you must maintain. And one of the ways to maintain it is keeping yourself filled with the Spirit always as Ephesians 5:18-21 teaches (study the entire reference). When you’re filled with the Spirit, you proclaim the Word of God with boldness. That’s the evidence of being filled with the Spirit as seen in the lives of the Apostles (Acts 4:31).

When you’re truly inspired by the Holy Spirit, you’re a bold and effective witness for Jesus Christ; you never stop winning souls. True soul winners don’t retire or grow weary in their mission; they’re forever active doing the Lord’s work. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord….” Your soul-winning efforts should always be on the increase, because you’re filled with the Spirit.

If you were winning three souls per week, you should aim to increase that number, perhaps to 10, or maybe even 30. Maintain your zeal and fervour for soul winning. Remember, soul winning is God’s heartbeat; it’s the most important assignment that He committed to our trust. Therefore, do it with passion, diligence and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of being a soul winner. I am inspired by your Spirit to continually share the Gospel with those around me. I refuse to grow weary or retire from this divine calling. Your Word flows through me like rivers of living water, bringing life and salvation to those in my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

GUTEN MORGEN HEILGE - GOTT GEBE EUCH VIEL GNADE UND FRIEDEN DURCH DIE ERKENNTNIS GOTTES UND UNSERS HERRN JESUS

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

MONTAG 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

THEMA: DURCH SEINE MACHT UND BEFÄHIGUNG

Und an jenem Tag werdet ihr mich nichts fragen. Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Was auch immer ihr den Vater bitten werdet in meinem Namen, er wird es euch geben!... (Johannes 16,23-24).

Der Herr Jesus hat uns gelehrt, in Seinem Namen zu beten und nicht durch Seinen Namen. Durch Seinen Namen zu beten bedeutet, Ihn zu einem Medium zu machen. In Seinem Namen zu beten bedeutet, die Vollmacht auszuüben, die Er uns gegeben hat (Johannes 16,23-24). Jemand könnte fragen: „Was meint die Bibel dann in Hebräer 13,15, wo es heißt, dass wir Gott durch Jesus Christus ein Opfer des Lobpreises darbringen sollen?"

Das ist eine ganz andere Sache und es spricht auch nicht davon, Jesus zu einem Medium zu machen. Dort heißt es: „Durch ihn lasst uns nun Gott beständig ein Opfer des Lobes darbringen, das ist die Frucht der Lippen, die seinen Namen bekennen!" (Hebräer 13,15). Erstens muss unser Verständnis der Schrift über die wörtliche Bedeutung hinausgehen. Wenn es darum geht, Gott „durch" Jesus Christus zu loben, könnte eine Option lauten: „O Herr Jesus, gib mein Lob dem Vater für mich“. Eine andere könnte lauten: „O Vater, ich preise dich durch Jesus Christus“. Während diese Sätze für die Sinne brauchbar erscheinen mögen, sind sie geistlich gesehen beide lächerlich.

In Hebräer 9,14 erzählt uns die Bibel zum Beispiel, wie Jesus sich Gott durch den Heiligen Geist darbrachte. Das bedeutet, dass Er Sich selbst durch die Kraft oder die Befähigung des Heiligen Geistes dargebracht hat. Er tat es durch die Kraft des Heiligen Geistes. Genauso geht es bei dem, was wir für den Vater durch Christus Jesus tun, nicht darum, dass Christus ein Medium ist. Wir sind es, die in Seiner Macht und Befähigung funktionieren.

Wenn Paulus zum Beispiel sagt: „Ich vermag alles durch den, der mich stark macht, Christus", meint er, dass er alles durch die Kraft und Befähigung Christi vollbringt. Das ist unser Zeugnis. Unsere Tüchtigkeit kommt von Ihm (2. Korinther 3,5), was bedeutet, dass wir aus und durch Seine göttliche Fähigkeit funktionieren. Nur die Sünder brauchen ein Medium, das Jesus für sie ist (Johannes 14,6); aber wenn du einmal in Christus bist, brauchst du kein Medium mehr; du bist mit Christus in Gott vereint. Du bist ein Glied Seines Leibes, der Gemeinde. Er ist in uns, und wir sind in Ihm. Wir sind untrennbar eins mit Ihm geworden. Er gab uns Seinen Namen, damit wir durch Ihn leben, beten und unser Lob darbringen sollen.

BEKENNTNIS
Lieber Vater, ich danke Dir für das Privileg, im Namen Jesu zu beten. Ich erkenne die Macht und Autorität an, die Du mir gegeben hast, um in Seinem Namen zu leben und alles zu tun. Ich handle bewusst in Übereinstimmung mit dieser göttlichen Autorität und verstehe, dass ich von Christus befähigt bin, alles zu vollbringen. Mein Leben spiegelt ständig Deinen Willen wider und bringt Dir Ehre, in Jesu Namen. Amen.

GUTEN MORGEN HEILGE - GOTT GEBE EUCH VIEL GNADE UND FRIEDEN DURCH DIE ERKENNTNIS GOTTES UND UNSERS HERRN JESUS

THEMA: DIE MANIFESTATION DER WAHRHEIT

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

SONNTAG 29 SEPTEMBER 2024

Die Älteste an die auserwählte Frau und ihre Kinder, die ich in Wahrheit liebe; und nicht nur ich, sondern auch alle, die die Wahrheit erkannt haben; um der Wahrheit willen, die in uns wohnt und bei uns sein wird in Ewigkeit (2. Johannes 1,1-2).

Wenn du den gesamten zweiten Johannesbrief liest, wirst du in den ersten vier Versen etwas bemerken: Das Wort „Wahrheit“ wird wiederholt betont, mit insgesamt fünf Erwähnungen. Das hat gewiss eine Bedeutung. In seinem dritten Brief fährt er dann mit der gleichen Betonung auf „die Wahrheit" fort. Warum wird so viel Wert auf „die Wahrheit“ gelegt?

In Johannes 18,37 sagte Jesus zu Pilatus, dass Er gekommen sei, um Zeugnis für die Wahrheit abzulegen, und jeder, der von der Wahrheit ist, Seine Stimme hört. Da fragte Ihn Pilatus: „Was ist Wahrheit?" Johannes muss wirklich über die Antwort nachgedacht haben. Er muss sich daran erinnert haben, was Jesus in Kapitel 14 gesagt hatte: „Ich bin der Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben..." (Johannes 14,6). Er hätte auch an das Gebet Jesu zum Vater in Johannes 17 gedacht, als Er sagte: „Heilige sie durch deine Wahrheit; dein Wort ist Wahrheit" (Johannes 17,17).

Johannes war also nicht nur von der Wahrheit gefesselt, fasziniert oder begeistert; er nahm sie voll und ganz an. Er hatte mit der „Wahrheit" Gemeinschaft. In 1. Johannes 1,1-2 sprach er davon, das Wort des Lebens anzuschauen und es zu betasten, und das Wort ist Wahrheit!

Als Jesus also auf der Erde umherging, verkörperte Er Gottes Wahrheit. Er war die Offenbarung der Wahrheit, der Wille des Vaters, der uns offenbart wurde. Wenn du jemals den Willen Gottes kennenlernen willst, dann schau dir Jesus an. Wenn es wahr ist, dass Jesus die Manifestation der Wahrheit war, wozu macht das dich? Paulus sagte in 2. Korinther 4,2 etwas Tiefgründiges über sich und seine Gefährten, indem er erklärte, dass sie sich durch die Offenbarung der Wahrheit dem Gewissen eines jeden Menschen vor Gott empfahlen.

Was Paulus im Wesentlichen sagte, ist: „Dies ist unser Leben – wir sind die Offenbarung der Wahrheit“. Ja, das bist du! Du wurdest geboren, um den Willen des Vaters in der Welt zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Das ist Gottes Vision und Plan für dich. Dein Leben und dein täglicher Weg sind die Manifestation der Wahrheit. So sieht Er dich, und das ist das Leben, das du leben musst. Wenn du morgens aufwachst, erkläre: „Ich bin die Manifestation der Wahrheit. Ich bin die Manifestation des Willens Gottes“. Halleluja!

BEKENNTNIS
Ich bin die Offenbarung des Willens des Vaters; ich lebe jeden Tag in Übereinstimmung mit Gottes Wahrheit und mein Leben spiegelt die Herrlichkeit und die Realität des Reiches Gottes wider. Ich bin aus Gottes Wahrheit geboren und halte die Wahrheit in allen Umständen und Situationen hoch, in Jesu Namen. Amen.
