THEME: FACE IT AND WIN

📖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 (1 John 4:4).

In Christianity, you’re not called to run from challenges but to face them and win. Many have assumed that once they become Christians, life should be completely free of challenges. So when they face difficulties, they begin to wonder, “Why do I still have problems? Why do I feel pain? Why doesn’t everything change immediately when I pray?” But that thinking misses an important truth about the Christian life. It’s a journey.

If there are no challenges to your faith, then your faith can’t work. Faith is proven, exercised, and perfected in the face of opposition. Life isn’t defined by how smooth things are; you’re promoted through the tests you overcome. It brings to mind the words of the Master in Revelation 2:26: “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.”

You don’t advance without the tests of life. Even in ministry, great success doesn’t happen overnight. There are stages, experiences, and victories that position you for greater responsibility. Sometimes,God allows you to face certain situations, not for defeat, but for your victory. He knows you’ll win because He knows what He’s put inside you.When you win, you’re decorated for more. That’s the divine pattern.

So, don’t crumble under pressure; don’t give in to fear or frustration; stand firm.Declare like Paul, “But none of these things move me…” (Acts 20:24); You're more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). Learn to look the adversary in the face and declare, “No matter what you do, I’m a victor in Christ Jesus. Greater is He that is in me than he that’s in the world.”

It makes no difference what you face; you have the comfort of God in your spirit and the consolation of the Holy Ghost. He reminds you continually to go on and win, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity for you to triumph. No wonder He says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2).

🔊 PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the victory you’ve given me in Christ Jesus. I stand strong in faith, declaring your Word with boldness. I refuse to be moved by circumstances, for greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. I walk in strength, dominion and power today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THEME: TAKE YOUR PLACE AND EXERCISE DOMINION

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

Some have queried that if Jesus was truly Lord over all and over everything happening in the world, then why are things in disarray? Yes, He’s Lord; He’s seated far above all principality and power. But you must understand your place in His reign and in His lordship: He reigns through you. You’re His instrument of dominion.

Therefore, one of the reasons things are in disarray today isn’t because Christ lacks authority but because those who are to act in His stead haven’t understood or exercised that authority. That’s why the Word is coming to you even now. That’s why you’re being taught. You’re the one called to reign in His stead.

You’re the one to dominate this world and tame circumstances to conform to the perfect will of God. You’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness; that qualifies you for a life of dominion. You must consciously use the authority given to you in the Name of Jesus. When situations arise, don’t plead, don’t beg, don’t cower; take charge. Enforce the will of God.

The Lord Jesus is running the universe, yes; from galaxies to governments, nothing is exempt from His rule. But He administers His dominion through His Church. That means wherever you are, His authority is to be expressed through you. If things are out of order, you don’t watch them deteriorate; you take action. You speak and enforce God’s righteousness.

Everything in life has intelligence, and has been commanded to hear and obey Jesus (Matthew 17:5), and by extension, you because you’re one with Him. When you speak, everything in life, living or non-living, complies because you function in the Name of Jesus, in His dominion and authority. Hallelujah!

He empowered you to rule your world and rule the world in His Name. He said in John 20:21, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” Then in Matthew 28:18, He said, “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Then He charged us, on account of His dominion and authority, to disciple the nations and make the world a better place (Matthew 28:19-20). Therefore, act accordingly; take your place and exercise your dominion in Christ.

🔊 PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that I’ve received in Christ. I walk in the consciousness of my authority and exercise dominion in every sphere of life. I enforce your will in my environment, bringing order, righteousness, and peace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE DOMINION AND SUPREMACY OF CHRIST

📖Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:20-21).
Our Lord Jesus Christ is not one among many authorities, governments or powers in this world; He’s far above them. He’s high above all other government, authority, power, dominion, and every title of sovereignty used in this age and in the age to come. That means there’s no system, no structure, no name, and no office anywhere that is outside the dominion and supremacy of Christ.
Remember, the Bible says He has a government (Isaiah 9:6) and His government is one with unlimited influence,power, dominion and authority: “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end...”
(Isaiah 9:7). His authority supersedes every earthly system. He is the Head and we are His body. And the Bible says His government is upon His shoulders, which means His body. That’s why when any system stands against the Gospel of Jesus Christ or seeks to hinder the Church, we keep them in check. We frustrate their efforts and overthrow their plans. We have the authority to do because we function in His Name. As He’s far above every ruler, authority, power and principality of darkness, so are we, because He raised us up together and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).
His dominion and supremacy aren’t temporary but forever. Both now and in the world to come, His authority stands. The Bible shows the extent of His rule; everything is under Him. Ephesians 1:20-22 (MSG) says, “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything....” Blessed be God!
Live with this consciousness. You’re functioning under the authority of the One who is above all—the Lord Jesus. Therefore, walk in dominion and supremacy of His glory and mighty power.
PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for the dominion and supremacy of Jesus Christ over all governments, powers, dominions and principalities of darkness. I walk in the consciousness of His lordship and exercise dominion in every situation. I stand firm for the Gospel, bold and full of faith, knowing that I operate under the highest authority, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CHRIST—THE GOD-MAN DELIVERER

_*And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16).*_

We have to understand something about the name, Christ. It’s the English form of the Greek “Christos,” and that is the Greek form of the Hebrew “Messiah.” What does “Messiah” mean? It means the God-man deliverer. That’s why Jesus is called the Anointed One, the God-man Messiah.

From the prophecies of Moses and the other prophets, they understood that a Messiah would come, the God-man would come, and that this God-man would deliver them. And what kind of deliverance were they expecting? The ultimate deliverance! It was the deliverance from all evil and from all that’s human. Why did the Jews think that way?

It’s because they knew that what was human had become corrupted. They knew the story of how man fell in the Garden of Eden through Adam’s transgression. Thus, they believed that only the God-man deliverer, the ultimate deliverer, could set humanity free from Satan’s bo***ge and the corruption that worked in nature.

Man’s heart became deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). So, man realised he needed deliverance from himself, from that fallen nature. That’s why they looked forward to the coming of the God man, the Messiah. That’s why He was called the Anointed One. Not because they didn’t know about the anointing.

They knew Moses was anointed, likewise the priests. They knew the Kings, for example, David, and even Saul, and then the Prophets, were all anointed. They were familiar with the anointing. So, they weren’t just talking about an anointed one but the God-man. That was their expectation.

But sadly, when He came, they didn’t recognise Him. The Bible says, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). Jesus is that God-man. He is the Christ. Not just an anointed man, but the One who brought the ultimate deliverance. In Him, you’ve been delivered from all that’s evil and from the fallen human nature. You’ve been brought into a new life.

You’re not trying to be delivered; you’ve been delivered: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:13). You’re not of the old human order; you’re a new creation by reason of Christ—the God-man deliverer. Blessed be God!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ, the God-man and my ultimate deliverer. I live in the consciousness of this truth that I’ve been brought into a new life in Christ, a life of glory and righteousness. I walk in this reality today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE RAPTURE IS REAL AND IMMINENT

_Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed_ *(1 Corinthians 15:51)*

Some say they don’t believe in the Rapture of the Church. But does their unbelief change anything? No! Truth isn’t established by opinion; it’s established by the Word. Whether one believes it or not, the Word of God is clear: the Rapture will happen, and very soon for that matter.

The Apostle Paul calls it a mystery: 1 Corinthians 15:52, *“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”* Not everyone will die, but all will be changed. The dead in Christ will be raised first, and those who are alive will be transformed.

Paul explains further in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, *“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”* The underlined expression, *“caught up”* is where the term *“rapture”* comes from.

You may not find the word *“rapture”* in the Bible but you find its meaning clearly revealed. We’ll be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Consider also the expression, *“…them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”* (1 Thessalonians 4:14). Those who have died in Christ are not lost; they will be part of this glorious event.

This is not a new idea or a false hope; it’s foundational to the Christian faith. Paul makes it clear that if the dead do not rise, then our faith is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:17-19). But Christ is risen, and because He lives, this hope is certain. Don’t be moved by contrary opinions or swayed by those who deny the reality of the Rapture. The Lord Jesus isn’t only coming again; He’s coming soon.

Any time now, the trumpet will sound. The voice of the archangel will be heard. And we shall be caught up. This is our blessed hope. Have the Rapture in view; prepare yourself and rejoice in the certainty of its imminence.

PRAYER

_Heavenly Father, I thank you for the certainty of your Word. My heart rejoices at the truth of Christ’s imminent return. Therefore, I live with expectation, faith and readiness, knowing that I’ll be caught up to meet Him in the air. I remain steadfast, unshaken and full of joy, living for you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

FURTHER STUDY:

*Titus 2:13* Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

*Philippians 3:20-21* For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: *21* Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

*1 Corinthians 15:17-20* And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. *18* Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. *19* If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. *20* But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

THE UNVEILING OF TRUTH

_*But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty… not handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God (2 Corinthians 4:2).*_

Our opening scripture talks about the manifestation of “the truth.” But what is truth? We find the answer in the words of the Lord Jesus in John 17:17, “… thy word is truth.” God’s Word is truth. However, not everything quoted from the Bible is the Word in truth. For it to be the Word of God, it must be consistent with the doctrine of Jesus Christ and the provisions of the Gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the unfolding of divine truth.

Outside the Gospel, truth remains veiled, but in the Gospel, truth is revealed, opened, and made clear. Truth was unknown until the Lord Jesus was manifested. He’s the unveiling of God’s plan, purpose, will, ideas and opinions. That’s why Paul uses the word “manifestation” (Greek: Phanerosis). It’s the same word used in 1 Corinthians 12:7: “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”

The manifestation of the Spirit is the outward expression of the Spirit in His varied dimensions. In the same way, the manifestation of the truth is the outward expression of the truth—God’s Word in and through us today. For you to truly live for Jesus Christ, you need to know His Word because you can’t manifest what you don’t know.

You have to first know the truth to walk in the truth, and as 3 John 1:4 says, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” When you have imbibed the truth of God, it controls your mentality. It becomes your way of thinking and shapes your viewpoints, opinions and ideas. God's Word has taken a hold of your personality, and it’s being manifested through you.

So, God’s desire isn’t only for you to talk the truth but to live the truth, in reality. This is why you must not live your life on the basis of assumptions. Study the Word to know, for the Bible says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD…” (Hosea 6:3). This is your calling: to know and manifest the truth in clarity, with conviction and with power. Glory to God!

Prayer / Confession
Holy Father, I thank you for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the unfolding of truth. My understanding is enlightened by your Spirit, and I walk in the light of your Word. I manifest the truth and express your righteousness and glory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

LEARN THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT

_*📖Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth… (John 16:13).*_

There’s something very important you must understand in your walk with God: receiving the Holy Spirit doesn’t automatically mean you understand Hisministry. The Holy Spirit was given to lead you, guide you into all truth, and help you fulfil God’s destiny for your life.But you must yield yourself to Him and study the Word to learn about His ministry in your life.

Without Him, the Scriptures remain veiled, but through His ministry, you receive understanding and are able to
discern God’s perfect will. This was evident in the early Church. Before the Holy Spirit came, their understanding of Scripture was shaped by the traditions and reasoning of the average Jew. But after they received the Holy Spirit, they began to learn and understand the Scriptures in a new way.

Even then, their understanding was progressive. For example, the inclusion of the Gentiles in salvation wasn’t clear to them at first. When Peter the Apostle went to the house of Cornelius, a Roman centurion, there was contention. They questioned him for going there. That shows their understanding was still limited even after receiving the Holy Spirit.It was through the ministry of the Apostle Paul that the revelation of global evangelism became clear. He brought the understanding that salvation was for all—reaching to the ends of the earth just as the Lord had said. The mystery that the Gentiles were included in the Gospel of Christ’s salvation was unveiled to him by divine revelation.

The Holy Spirit is your teacher; as you study, He opens your eyes, expands your understanding, and brings you into deeper revelation of God’s truths.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who teaches me and guides me into all truth. As I study your Word more, my understanding is enlightened. I grow in wisdom and revelation, and walk in the fullness of your purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
