"Rejoicing in Hope"

Romans 12:12
rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

Romans 12:12 [NLT]
Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful.

Make it a habit to be joyful in tribulations. Learn to rejoice when things or situations are not favorable. The way to live victoriously and be in command of all circumstances is by this simple practice. Practice being joyful in rainy days. When you're tempted to be worried or depressed, choose joy instead.

To gain the advantage over the trouble is by rejoicing in hope.

Rejoicing in Hope is simply being glad in God's plans for you even when the circumstances are unfavorable. It's counting it all joy amidst the trials. It's joyfully and gladly being expectant; It's not just expecting but gladly expecting. It's that demonstration of joy in knowing that all things are working out for your good; And that the affliction is working a surpassing glory for you.

Rejoice in Hope!

Rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!!

Knowing that God is working out all things for your good because He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

In sickness, rejoice in the hope of your healing!
In lack, rejoice in the hope of your abundance!
In condemnation, rejoice in hope of your justification!
In affliction, rejoice in hope of your glory!
In reproach, rejoice on hope of your celebration!
In barreness, rejoice in the hope of your fruitfulness.

In all Tribulations rejoice in Hope.

Praise God!!!

Habakkuk 3:17-19
A Hymn of Faith
Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet,And He will make me walk on my high hills.

Amen!!!

Being Spiritually strong

St. Luke 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

St. Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

God wants us to be strong in spirit.

What is spiritual strength?
1. It's the ability to withstand evil successfully.

Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

To faith is to grow weary, faint, discouraged, lack motivation etc in the days of adversities.

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

In every trial, we are well able to overcome it.
Strength is lost when we consider the trials to be greater than us.

Numbers 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

We must have the mentality that we are well able to withstand the trials we face.

You can never win over any Spiritual trial you are not strong over.
It takes spiritual strength to succeed, win or prevail over any trial.

Those who are spiritually strong can never be at the loosing end.

St. Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
St. Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

2. Spiritual strength is the ability to do the will of God. That is the ability to do right.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Note these terms:
*Authority is delegated power
*Power is inherent ability
*‎strength is the ability to win successfully

Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Strength is one of the 7 redemptive packages.

Without Spiritual strength you will be weary and such a life tenders to anxiety, weakness and ugliness.Worrying is a killing system.

Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.

St. Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Infirmities includes mental, moral, body, spirit, soulish weaknesses.
The cross has dealt with our weaknesses
We refuse to give in to weaknesses.
Spiritual weakness is the worst type of weakness.

Every attack or trial comes to weaken us.
We can't be strong in ourselves but in the Lord, in the midst of adversities.

We can be strong in the Lord by putting in the whole armour of God.

How to be strong in the Lord
1. ThroughThe knowledge of God
2. ‎Through knowledge of God's word
3. ‎Through the principles of faith
4. ‎Through meditation on God's word
5. ‎Through praying in the spirit
6. ‎Through the atmosphere of worship

God bless♥️

Prophetic Decrees over the Nation

Psalm 113:4, 22:28
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Revelation 11:15 Seventh Trumpet: The Kingdom Proclaimed
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

The month of October is our month of kingship and priesthood!!

The gateway to reigning is in our understanding and exercising of of spiritual kingship and priesthood.

This therefore implies that this is our month of dominion.
We are spiritual kings and spiritual priests in Christ!!

1 Corinthians 4:8 You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

Kingship and priesthood determines reigning.
Gods will is for us to reign as kings and priests.

Our kingship duty in Christ is to make decrees, declarations of faith.
Our priesthood duty in Christ is to pray...
So, through declarations of faith and prayer, we mount up in reigning.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

What does it mean to reign?
1.To reign is to have power of rule
2. To reign is to have power of influence.
3. ‎To reign is to have power of sonship ( rights and privileges )

Our kingship in Christ is measured by spiritual declarations while our priesthood in Christ is measured by prayer and sacrifices.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Ecclesiastes 8:4 Where the word of a king is, there is power;
And who may say to him, “What are you doing?”

Any identification outside the revelation of Christ is pride but any identification from the revelation of Christ is our rightful status in Christ

Confession
Kingship is revealed in me.

The two determinants for reigning are kingship and priesthood.

God wants to create in us the consciousness of our spiritual kingship and priesthood.

Prophetic decree
God will give no reason for the adversary to speak reproachfully over us again in the name of Jesus.

We are not made kings by qualifications because kings are born.
We are made kings by our spiritual birth right.

Psalms 21:1 Joy in the Salvation of the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Psalms 21:2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
Psalms 21:3 For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
Psalms 21:4 He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.
Psalms 21:5 His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
Psalms 21:6 For You have made him most blessed forever;
You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.
Psalms 21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Psalms 21:8 Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
Psalms 21:9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
Psalms 21:10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their descendants from among the sons of men.
Psalms 21:11 For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.
Psalms 21:12 Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.
Psalms 21:13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power.

We offer spiritual sacrifices to God that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,
1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
1 Peter 2:3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1 Peter 2:4 The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Kingship is revealed in our utterances.
Be careful what you say.
Priesthood is revealed in our sacrifices.

We must never get familiar with the ways of God.

God bless ♥️

Excerpts of prevailing service at Light-Torch Ministry International by Pastor S James

*The Life of Victory*

The aim of us being new creations is not just to reveal our goodness but our victory in Christ.

Being good is not just enough cause it doesn't determine your victory over life's circumstances.
You must learn to live a triumphant life, a life of victory.

The revelation of grace produces a balanced life: that is goodness and victory

Luke 1:5 John’s Birth Announced to Zacharias
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke 1:7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

Elizabeth and Zacharias were both righteousness and blameless before God but they had no child...

Revelation 5:8 Worthy Is the Lamb
Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

By the virtue of our spiritual birth, we are destined to reign.
Reigning is our heritage in Christ!!
We reign over every thing that the devil presents.

We can be attacked by evil but we are not permitted to be defeated by evil, by virtue of our spiritual birth.

Romans 5:17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

We have the surety of reigning in Christ.

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

The life of victory is part of our redemptive packages.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

The three adversaries mentioned here are:
1. The devil
2. ‎The world
3. ‎The flesh

We must devise a means to deal with these adversaries and reign over them.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Victory is not a quest but our possession.

We are living in Christ's victory.
We must rest in this truth

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

Confession
In Christ I have the victory.
I live in the victory of Christ, every day of my life.

There are two days in the realm of the spirit.
The days of adversity and the days of glory.
We must understand these season of adversity to reign in the days of glory
When u learn how to handle or master adversaries, you can teach the next generation these precepts on how to overcome the adversary. It's the same devil, he just changes strategies

1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

Confession
I receive wisdom that will command my mastery in life over life's mysteries.

The first requirements in the days of adversities is spiritual strength

Ephesians 6:10 The Whole Armor of God
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

It is the equipping with these spiritual weapons that will determine spiritual strength.

You cannot be strong on your own without the help of the spirit of God.

How can you be strong in the Lord?
The only way you can be strong inthe Lord is by putting on the whole armour of God

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Ephesians 6:15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

The armours therefore includes:
1. God's truth- for offence
2. ‎Gods righteousness
3. ‎Gods peace
4. ‎Gods faith- for defence
5. ‎Gods salvation
6. ‎Gods word, utterances, wisdom utterances
7. ‎prayers
8. ‎ Watching

The above weapons are the determinants of victory.
Anything that does not reflect the glory of God in your life is an adversary.

Spiritual warfares are won with utterances.
Luke 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

John 8:36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.

God bless♥️

*Understanding Gods Truth*

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The HolyGhost is called the spirit of truth
1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

The worldly spirit is called the spirit of error.

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

It's either you are worldly or Godly.🗣️🗣️🗣️

There are precepts to subscribe to daily to walk in the spirit else you'd be under the influence of the spirit of error.

We must know that we are of God.🔥🔥🔥
The spirit of God savours the will of God. Any spirit that doesn't savour the will of God is not of God but of the world.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

We must discern between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error!!

Matthew 16:21 Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”
Matthew 16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

You might be a follower of Christ and still come under the influence of the spirit of error.

Being mindful of the things of men rather than the things of God, means you are under the influence of the spirit of error.

Your greatest rest is in the will of God for your life.

If you are after God's will, God will be after you.
The spirit of God is mindful of the things of God.

Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

The spirit of the world causes people to set their minds on the things of the world.

The knowledge of truth unleashes the liberating power behind every truth.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The end of carnality is death.
The spiritually minded have life and peace.

John 3:31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
AMPJohn 3:31 He Who comes from above (heaven) is [far] above all [others]; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and talks the language of earth [his words are from an earthly standpoint]. He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all others [far superior to all others in prominence and in excellence].

The spirit of truth guides us into all truth that liberates
This truth causes us to triumph.

The spirit of truth sets our minds on things that are of God and not of men.
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

God bless♥️

23/09/2022

Excerpts of Miracle service at Light-Torch Ministry International by Pastor S James

*Gods Truth*

Worship is one of the quickest way to the miraculous.

What is God's truth?
1. God's truth is the person of Christ Jesus.

John 14:5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Ephesians 4:21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

The revelation of God's truth can only be found in Jesus.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Any life that is not in Christ is a life of falsity.

True living starts from Christ.

2. God's truth is God's word.

John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

Any word or message or report that doesn't correspond with God's truth is not true.

In the mind of God, anything that doesn't align to His word is not truth.

Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

The integrity of God is in His truth.

3. God's truth is God's Spirit.

1 John 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
5 John 5:6 The Certainty of God’s Witness
This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth.
The world is under the influence of the spirit of error.

The spirit of truth tends to life while the spirit of error tends to condemnation.

1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Hearing the voice of God can be tricky if you don't know the way of the Spirit.

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The Spirit of God guides us into all of God's truth, testimonies, hidden treasures for our lives.

4. God's truth are God's realities

The truth of God is the major destroyer of doubts because God's truth are Gods realities or substance.

AMPHebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

Without God's truth, you can't have faith!!!

5. God's truth are God's testimonies: the testimonies of His works, His grace and His return.

Testimonies are God's secrets or report.
Our ability to consumate this revelation wil give us a well balanced Christian life.

It's God's truth that makes our Christian life well structured and stable because there are many believers who have a disabled posture in the spirit.

*The greatest asset given to us is God's truth* .

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

There are different types of testimonies:
Testimonies of God's works
Testimonies of God's power
Testimonies of Jesus.

A testimony is more than God's intervention. It's the Gospel of Christ.
Therefore, the Gospel of Christ is the testimony of Christ.

6. God's truth are God's decrees.

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Psalms 2:7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

You only decree the decree that God has said to you. These are the decrees of the Lord and not what you want to say, so light can shine upon your ways.

7. Gods truth is God's faithfulness:

Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice,
A God of truth and without injustice;
Righteous and upright is He.

Psalms 100:5 For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

There's no fear for the next generation because God's truth endures to all generations.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Gods faithfulness is God's inability to fail or to lie.

God bless♥️

Excerpts of prevailing service at Light-Torch Ministry International by Pastor S James *Gods Mercy* Ephesians 6:24 Grace...
22/09/2022

Excerpts of prevailing service at Light-Torch Ministry International by Pastor S James

*Gods Mercy*

Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Prayer
HolyGhost, cause me to love Jesus in sincerity.

There are only two kinds of love. Gods love and human love.

_Benefits of loving God_

Psalm 91:1- 16
1.The Blessing of preservation.
2.The Blessing of honour
3.The blessing of long life

Psalms 145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

There are 3 kinds of iniquities:

1. Uncleanliness: working in the flesh. Cleanliness is staying away from anything that defiles.

2.Ungodliness: lack of reverence/ honour for God. Godliness is living to honour God.

3. Unrighteousness: living daily in ignorance to the will of God. Finding out God's purpose for your life is the ultimate in life.
Righteousness is living in conformity to the will of God in thoughts, actions and purposes.

*What makes us bold at rapture is because we walked in love* .

Trust God for perfection but never trivialise the place of mercy.

There are 4 things needed to thrive in life:

1. Mercy: this is the bedrock we must run on.

2.Truth

3.HolyGhost.

4.The wisdom of God.

_Grace is not leverage but a piling of Judgement_ !!

Holding unto truth keeps us fresh through time!!!👆🏻👆🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡

Mercy is not only needed when we make mistakes but is needed for our perfection.

The only opportunity we have to make things right is mercy.

The mercy of God has handled our past, repaired our today and makes straight our future.

Mercy gives us a clean sheet in life.

Outside the definition of mercy, you are a nobody.
(Let that sink deep)

Righteousness is our status in Christ via God's mercy.

This is justification and not by our works.

Confession
Righteousness reigns in me conforming me to be fashioned like the Father(amen).

To carry the authority of God's sceptre in these last days we must understand mercy .

Mercy is the working strength of God in us. Hallelujah!!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

The mercy Of God makes the 3 aspects of iniquities to be meaningless.

Mercy gives us the greatest advantage. It turns our mistakes into miracles.
Mercy is door of advantage.

Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Romans 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Romans 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

There are two kinds of vessels:
The vessels of wrath fitted for destruction.
The vessels of mercy. These ones are prepared for glory before time. God reveals the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy.

Confession
In Christ, I am a vessel of mercy prepared afore time of glory.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1 Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

My testimony as a new creation is that I have obtained mercy in Christ.💃💃💃💃🙌🔥🔥🔥

Mercy is the overflowing of God's love upon a life that reveals God's Favour, opportunities, salvation and goodness...

God bless♥️🥰

Excerpts of prevailing service at Light -Torch Ministry International by Pastor S. James

Daniel 6:3
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Prayer Guide:
I declare that in Christ an excellent spirit dwells within me making me to be more preferable than the nobles in Jesus' Name.

Prayer of intimacy
2 Thessalonians 3:5
Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Title: The prevailing Truth

Spiritual Truth is the greatest asset God gave to man. Without this truth we can't live a victorious, blessed and fulfilled life.

A spiritual mystery is a hidden truth; A Revelation is an unveiled truth; Understanding is a comprehension of truth; Wisdom is deeper insight into truth; while a Testimony is an established truth. The Church is the house of God's truth, and preaching is a proclamation of God's truth.

You see everything in this kingdom revolves around God's truth.

The church is the pillar and ground of truth. The church is more than a worship centre. It is the place where God's truth is discovered, established and pioneered (1 Tim 3:15)

The devil is the father of lies and no truth can be found in him. Anywhere truth is, the devil can't be found there. Truth dislodges the devil.

1 Timothy 2:1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
For kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-7
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

We see from the above scriptural texts, that the will of God is to see men come into the knowledge of the truth after their salvation. While the deposition of the adversary (satan) is stand against this plan of God by not letting anyone come into this knowledge of truth.
God's truth is the foundation of every true and effective faith.

John 18:37 - 38
Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

*What is then God's Truth?*

1. God's truths are God's realities or veracities...
2. ‎God's truths are God's testimonies or report
3. ‎God's truths are the realities of a believer in Christ OR the realities of our identities in Christ.

For example;
God is Good... No evil in a life or society can be reckon with God. He can't tempt us with evil. He is no responsible for the evil that confront us. We must have faith in his goodness and through that knowledge of his goodness we will ride prosperously over any kind of evil.
The reality of God is that He is Good!!!

Ephesians 6:10-14
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

The first weapon of a Christian is God's Truth. It's not prayer, fasting or faith even thou all theses are expedient.
Truth is found only in Christ. When you put on truth, it's easier to put on the other spiritual weapons.

How to access God's Truth...

1) Through faith in Christ

Ephesians 4:21
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

St. John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This spiritual truth can only found in Christ. The introduction to Christ is an introduction to this truth. Confess the Lordship of Christ in your life today and be a partaker of this truth.

2) Through the knowledge of God's Word;

John 8:31-32
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"

John 17:17
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

This Spiritual Truth that brings perfect libration is hidden in the word of God. The knowledge of God's word grant us access to God's truth.
God's truth is resident in God's word.
This Truth brings sanctification (a holy separation from the unclean and the unfavorable from a life). It determines libration, sanctification, triumph and blessedness.

In the month of September, the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Truth shall guides into all truth.

God bless❤️
