*YOU HAVE JESUS*

*John 5:5-9*
_And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, …he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: … Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:…_

As a child of God, you are never disadvantaged in life or in any situation. Please do not let the fact that things have been happening around you in a certain way, limit your faith in any way. When people came to the pool of Bethesda to be healed, an angel of God will appear at a certain time and stir the water. It so happened that the first sick person to be put into the pool after it was stirred, received their healing. This meant that there was no hope for those who were sick but had no one to put them into the pool.

Like the man in our text above, you may be feeling frustrated because based on the prevailing circumstances and the experiences of others, it seems like you do not have what it takes to receive your healing or to experience any other kind of miracle or breakthrough that you desire. But Jesus wants you to know that because you have Him, you have all you need to experience that miracle, breakthrough, or good thing that you desire. You are complete in Him, (Col.2:9-10). The Bible says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Rom.8:32). Because you have Jesus, you have all you need. Put your faith in Jesus and not in yourself or what you have or do not have.

*Faith Declaration:*
My faith is fully in Jesus. Because I have Jesus, I have all that I need to experience my healing, miracle, and desire.

*LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD*

*Matthew 4:3-4, 1Peter 1:23 (NLT)*
_And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. *For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God._

The life you have now is supernatural. It is from the Word of God, and it is influenced and controlled by the Word of God. The Word of God controls your experience and the frequency of life you operate in. The only way you can be all God wants you to be is as you receive and hold on to what God says about you in His Word.

According to Mark 16:18, no deadly thing shall hurt you and as you lay hands on the sick, they shall recover. According to Psalms 1:3, you are like a tree planted by the rivers of water, you will always bring forth fruit in your season, your leaves will not wither, and whatsoever you do shall prosper. According to 1 Timothy 4:4-5, everything you eat or drink is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. According to Isaiah 54:17, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. It doesn’t matter what people around you are experiencing. What matters is what God has said about you. Believe it, declare it, give thanks for it, and hold on to it.

At the words of Jesus, Peter launched out into the deep and caught a large number of fish, even though he had toiled all night and caught nothing (Luke 5:4-6). By the words of Jesus, you too are going to experience great abundance and expansion in places where you struggled and achieved nothing in the past.

*Prayer:*
Father, as I receive and declare your Word into my life, I thank you for your supernatural power and abundance that I experience.

*YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN*

*PHILIPPIANS 3:20-21 (GNB), HEBREWS 12:22-23a (GNB)*
_We are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body,....*...you have *come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands of angels. You have come to the joyful gathering of God's first-born, whose names are written in heaven._

By your faith in Christ, you have become a citizen of Heaven. There is joy in Heaven when a soul gets saved because, by faith in Jesus, that soul becomes a citizen of Heaven. In The Passion Translation, Hebrews 12:23a says, "And as members of the church of the Firstborn, all our names have been legally registered as citizens of heaven!" Heaven is now your home.
When you are done with the assignment God has for you on this earth, you will return home to Heaven. The more like Christ you become, the more you will function like Him as you do His work, and the more rewards you will get when we return home.

Though you are in this world, you are not of this world, just as Jesus is not of this world (John 17:16). This is why you cannot live your life by the principles and ways of this world. You are from above. You must live your life by the wisdom that is from above (James 3:17-18). Always think, speak, and act like someone who is from above. He that is from above is above all (John 3:31). You are seated with Christ in Heavenly places; a position where you are far above principalities and powers (Eph. 2:6, Eph. 1:20-21). The economy and resources of Heaven are also available for you. God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:3) and God supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19).

*FAITH DECLARATION:*
I AM A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN AND HEAVEN IS MY HOME. I LIVE BY GOD'S WAYS, I MANIFEST DOMINION AND I ENJOY HEAVEN'S RESOURCES.

*YOU ARE A WORTHY AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST*

*2Corinthians 5:18-20 (NIV)*
_All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are…Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God._

God has a divine purpose for your life. Now that you have the life of Christ, your purpose is the purpose of Christ. Jesus died your death so you can live His life and live for Him (2 Cor. 5:14-15). This is why Apostle Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Gal. 2:20). God has made you like Christ so you can function like Christ and fulfill the purpose of Christ. This is your high calling (Phil. 3:14). This is why Jesus has sent us into the world just as the Father sent Him (John 17:18, John 20:21).

As ambassadors of Christ, His passion must be our passion. The same passion that drove Him to the Cross must drive us to the lost. Our utmost desire must be to reconcile men to God. This we must do by preaching the Gospel of Christ and manifesting His life and power. Evangelism is our supreme task. We have been divinely empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry out this divine mission of being witnesses of Christ and making disciples for Christ (Acts 1:8, Matt. 28:18-20). The home country of an ambassador is responsible for his/her protection and upkeep. Every resource that was available for Christ to fulfill His mission is also available to you.

*Prayer:*
Father, I thank you for empowering me to be a witness for Christ. Please use me to preach the Gospel and reconcile men to you.

*THE LORD’S ARROW OF VICTORY*

*2Kings 13:15-17 (NLT)*
_Elisha told him, “Get a bow and some arrows.” And the king did as he was told. Elisha told him, “Put your hand on the bow,” and Elisha laid his own hands on the king’s hands. Then he commanded, “Open that eastern window,” and he opened it. Then he said, “Shoot!” So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, “This is the Lord’s arrow, an arrow of victory…._

Right before his death, the king of Israel visited Elisha, and Elisha told him to put an arrow in a bow, draw it, and point it out the window. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands and told him to shoot the arrow. Elisha then said to him, “This is the Lord’s arrow of victory.”

What Elisha did was a prophetic illustration of your reality as a child of God. In whatever your hands find to do, God wants you to know that His hand is upon your hands. Because of this, what you are engaged in is no longer ordinary. It now carries God’s unction and victory. It shall not fail.

The Lord will strengthen you, and He will teach you how to overcome your challenges and battles (Psa. 144:1). The Lord will lighten your candle and enlighten your darkness. By Him you will run through troops and leap over walls (Psa. 18:28-29).

You are not alone, and you are not hopeless. God is with you, and your victory is sure. As you remain conscious that the hand of the Lord is upon you, the Lord will guide you on how you should go about what you are doing, and the Lord will use what you are engaged in as a tool to advance His kingdom.

*Prayer:*
Father, I thank you that your hand is upon me and upon all I am engaged in. I receive your direction, strength, and victory.

*THE JOYS AND REWARDS OF ADVANCING GOD’S KINGDOM*

*Matthew 25:21 (NKJV), Revelation 22:12-13 (NIV)*
_His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ *“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End._

There is nothing like the privilege of causing great joy in heaven (Luke 15:10). There is nothing like the joy of hearing God say to you, “Well done for being good and faithful in your service to Me.” There is nothing as good as knowing that while on earth, you yielded yourself to God’s Spirit, fulfilled God’s purpose, and brought so much joy to God’s heart.

After Jesus humbled Himself and fulfilled God’s will by dying on the Cross, He was promoted (Phil. 2:8-9). As we remain faithful in advancing God’s kingdom, God will continue to promote and elevate us, both now and in eternity. When the master in our first text above returned, He promoted and increased the responsibilities of those who were faithful in using what they were given to carry out His will.

When Christ returns, we shall receive rewards for our service in preaching the Gospel and advancing God’s kingdom on earth (1Cor. 3:13-14). We shall receive the crown of life for enduring trials and tests of our faith (James 1:12). The crown of glory for faithfully serving and feeding God’s flock (1Pet. 5:2-4). The crown of rejoicing for winning souls (1Thes. 2:19), the crown of righteousness for looking forward to Christ’s return and living uprightly (2Tim. 4:7-8), and an incorruptible crown for living disciplined and self-controlled lives (1Cor.9:25).


*Prayer:*
Father, I desire to fulfill your purpose on earth and bring so much joy to your heart. Use me to advance your kingdom on earth.

*HOW IS YOUR PASSION FOR ADVANCING GOD'S KINGDOM?*

*JOHN 4:34 (AMPC), JOHN 9:3-5 (NIV)*
_My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His work. _'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.'"_

There will be many times when doing the will of God (preaching the Gospel, overcoming sin, serving in God’s house, walking in love, yielding to the Spirit, and remaining diligent) will not be convenient. But it is in those times that we prove how passionate we are for advancing God’s kingdom. In Gethsemane, Jesus said, _"not my will but your will be done, O God"_ (Luke 22:42). You are God’s workmanship.

If you refuse to arise, shine, and make an impact by doing God’s will, darkness (the devil’s will) will continue to prevail on the earth (in various lives, nations, and spheres of influence in society).

Stop living for yourself because your life no longer belongs to you _(2Cor. 5:14-15, Rom. 12:1)_. Like the mighty men of David, be willing to risk your life and do all it takes to carry out the desires in the heart of God your Father _(2Sam. 23:15-17)_. Like David, be a man/woman after God’s heart who is sold out to doing God’s will _(Acts 13:22)_. Like Jesus, let your greatest joy and satisfaction come from doing the will of God and advancing His kingdom. Apostle Paul said, _"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God"_ _(Acts 20:24, NLT)_. Have this mindset.

*PRAYER:*
I SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOU, DEAR FATHER. USE ME TO DO YOUR WILL AND ADVANCE YOUR KINGDOM. I AM AVAILABLE TO YOU.

*THE CHURCH, THE GOSPEL, AND GOD'S KINGDOM*

*MATTHEW 16:16-19 (NKJV)*
_Simon Peter answered... "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered..., "Blessed are you, Simon... for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven..."_

The Church is God's greatest kingdom-advancement agency on earth. Jesus said, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.......To do Your will, O God." (Heb. 10:5, 7). Right now, the Church is Christ's Body, doing God's will on the earth (John 20:21). We are His flesh and bones (Eph. 5:30).

The greatest thing happening on earth right now is what God is doing in His Church. Christ is building us (His Church). Christ is being revealed and formed in us, and we are growing into His fullness. We are receiving divine empowerment to advance and bring others into God's kingdom. The only way the Church can be truly built up so that the gates of hell will not prevail against us is by the teaching of the revelation of Christ. That is the rock Jesus was telling Peter about in our text above. This is the only way we will not be tossed to and fro by various deceptive winds of false doctrines (Eph. 4:11-15).

God wants you to increase your love for the Church, and play your part in the building of the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:16). When we arise and play our part in the Body of Christ, instead of causing gaps and divisions, the Gospel will increase, and there will be a multiplication in the number of disciples of Christ in our nations (Acts 6:1-7).

*PRAYER:*
FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORK YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR CHURCH. HELP ME TO KEEP PLAYING MY PART. BUILD US AND USE US MORE.

‎*THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM*
‎
*‎Matthew 4:23 (AMPC), Matthew 24:14 (AMPC)*
_‎"And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.*And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end."_
‎
‎The Gospel of the kingdom is the Gospel of Christ (Acts 8:12, Acts 20:24-25, Acts 28:23, 31). As we preach the Gospel of Christ, people are saved and receive the life of God, enabling them to experience the fullness of God’s kingdom and will for their lives. We see this clearly in the story of Cornelius the Centurion. Though he was a good, upright, and prayerful man, an angel appeared to him in a vision and told him to send for Peter. Peter needed to come and preach the Gospel of Christ to Cornelius and his household so they would be saved and filled with the Spirit of God (Acts 10:1-6, 42-44).
‎
‎Jesus said we should go into ‘all the world’ to preach the Gospel and make disciples for Him (Matt. 28:18-20). He has empowered us with His Spirit to do this (Acts 1:8). "All the world" does not only mean every country and nation, but also every field and sphere of influence in society. Do not be ashamed of preaching the Gospel of Christ because it is God’s power to save and intervene in the lives of men (Rom. 1:16).
‎
‎Preach and demonstrate the Gospel of the kingdom. Manifest God’s life and power (1Cor. 4:20, 1Thes. 1:5). Pray for all men, especially those in authority, so they will be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1Tim. 2:1-4).
‎
‎PRAYER :
‎Father, I thank you for empowering me to preach the Gospel. Use me and other believers to preach the Gospel in our environment.

*ADVANCING THE KINGDOM OF GOD (2)*

*GENESIS 39:11-12 (NIV), GENESIS 41:56-57 (NIV)*
_One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. *Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, ...And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere._

Joseph advanced God's kingdom by overcoming sin, yielding to God's Spirit, and doing God's will. Despite the harsh conditions and hostilities he faced, he remained diligent in his work and service to God, and he refused to be offended. When he was running away from the temptation from Potiphar's wife, he was running towards the plan God had to take him to the palace. Staying away from sin makes us available for God to use us to do His will and to advance His kingdom (2Tim. 2:21).

Through Joseph, the will of God prevailed in Potiphar's house, in the prison, in the palace, and on the earth. God sent Joseph to Egypt to preserve and save the world from famine, so that the life of the Israelites would be preserved and Christ could come through their lineage (Psa. 105:16-24, Gen. 50:20).

Preaching the Gospel is the highest way we advance God's kingdom, and in addition to this, every time we yield to the Spirit to overcome sin, walk in love, be diligent, and serve in God's house, we are also doing God's will and advancing His kingdom. David served God's purpose in his generation (Acts 13:36, ESV). God is still looking for people who will yield to His leading and stand in the gap to do His will in their environment and generation (Ezek. 22:30, Isa 58:12).

*PRAYER:*
FATHER LORD, MY LIFE IS AVAILABLE TO YOU. USE ME TO DO YOUR WILL AND ADVANCE YOUR KINGDOM IN MY ENVIRONMENT AND GENERATION, AMEN
