I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power, far above the devil and his minions, and far above sickness and disease.

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.

*Affirmations*

I am complete in Christ, who is the head of all principality and power. How beautiful it is to know that when God looks at me, He sees me complete, lacking nothing necessary for life and godliness. I refuse to live with a lack mentality as though there are certain things I don’t have. I am totally inundated with the consciousness of my completeness. Just as there’s nothing of God lacking in Jesus, there’s nothing of the Master lacking in me. The Master never had a sense of lack because He knew the world and everything in it belonged to Him. I, therefore, walk in the mentality of abundance because I lack nothing. I have all things that pertain to life and godliness.

Christ is my all; I’m complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power; there’s no shortage in my life. I am full of ideas, inspiration, with wealth, prosperity and all the blessings of the Kingdom; and out of that abundance, I impact my world. I am complete in Christ Jesus, and I’ve been perfected through my union with Him. I’ve been created for good works and predestinated for the good life; there is nothing wrong in my body. I’ve got everything I require for an excellent life. The Holy Spirit has brought the glory of God into my life, giving me guidance and direction; He makes me creative and innovative. He’s filled me with supernatural ability to do things beyond the ordinary; I see value where others don’t; I bring new things into this world. I have insight into mysteries and secrets through the Holy Spirit.

*THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD BY FAITH*

📖 *_"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth" (Romans 10:4)._*

There's an important truth you need to understand about righteousness: it's by faith, not by works. The Scripture makes this contrast clear in Romans 9:30-32. The Gentiles obtained righteousness because they received it by faith. But Israel, who pursued it through the Law, didn't attain it because they sought it by works.

The Bible states clearly that by the works of the Law shall no man be made righteous: *_"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ...for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified"_* (Galatians 2:16). Also, Romans 3:21-22 says, *_"But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested...Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe...."_*

Israel went about to establish their own righteousness through the Law, and it failed: *_"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God"_*(Romans 10:3).

The Scripture says they had a zeal for God but not according to knowledge. That's still the situation today. Many are zealous, passionate and sincere in their pursuit of righteousness. They're striving for what has already been given freely. But the key is yielding to or embracing the righteousness of God which is by the faith of Jesus Christ.

The righteousness of God is a gift you receive, not something you work for: *_"...they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ"_* (Romans 5:17). 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."_*

Don't try to establish your own righteousness through works. Accept what God has given you in Christ. In Philippians 3:9, Paul, by the Spirit, made this remarkable statement: *_"And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."_* *Hallelujah!*

*CONFESSION*

*I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I walk in the consciousness of my right standing with God, bold, confident, and victorious. I reign in life through Jesus Christ, manifesting His wisdom, glory and truth. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

Galatians 2:16 NIV *||* *_"Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified."_* *||*

Ephesians 2:8-9 *||* *_"[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: [9] Not by works, lest any man should boast."_* *||*

Romans 3:20-22 *||* *_"[20] Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. [21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference."_* *||*

*Affirmations*

God wants me well; therefore, I refuse to accommodate sickness or anything contrary in my body. My life is filled with peace and prosperity. My body is in perfect health, and my days are blessed with the fullness of God’s blessings and riches in glory. My body is not sustained by blood but by the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in me. I have God’s genetic material, His “DNA” resident in me. I have an excellent life that is sickness-free. I enjoy everything that the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ made available to me. I am indestructible, and no sickness can thrive in my body. I walk in victory and dominion over diseases and the forces of this world every day.

Glorious things are spoken of me. Health, strength, and victory are mine, and I live victoriously at all times. I take complete charge over my life as I proclaim the Name of Jesus in my health and everything that concerns me or is connected to me. Christ is my assurance of divine health, prosperity, success, victory, and dominion. I walk in the consciousness of God’s righteousness. I am securely established in Christ, and I live above the corrupting influences of this age. I live without worries, conflicts, and agitations. I walk in glory, dominion, and the strength of God. I do not worry about my health, finances, or anything else because the Lord has perfected all that concerns me.

*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.

I am a king and my words are full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life.

*YOUR MENTAL LIBRARY*

📖 *_"And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?" (Matthew 9:4)._*

Did you know that we have far more responsibility for our destiny than most people realize? What happens in your life has a lot to do with you---your decisions, your words, your thoughts, and the structure of your mind. Much of what your life turns out to be is the making of your mind.

The Lord Jesus posed a striking question in our opening scripture: *"Why do you reason the way you do?"* That question goes to the root of many people's challenges. Their reasoning is their undoing. You reason the way you do because of the information you've received over time. That's your mental library---the *"books"* on the shelf of your mind.

The thoughts you've imbibed, the things you've listened to, and the ideas you've accepted are what shaped your life. You're the product of the information you've taken in. You can't think beyond what you've consistently heard and meditated on. This is why meditating on the Word is vital for every Christian. Aside from the refinement and elevation of your mind, it results in unending, undeniable prosperity and good success (read Joshua 1:8 AMPC, 1 Timothy 4:15 AMPC).

Some say they listen to the Word, but without meditation, they neutralise its impact with contrary thoughts and influences. The Lord Jesus said people make the Word of God of none effect through their traditions (Mark 7:13); beliefs and ideas handed down from society, upbringing, and environment. But meditation seasons and synchronises your mind with the Word.

So, be deliberate about what you allow into your mind, your mental library. You're the character of your thoughts. Proverbs 23:7, *_"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...."_* Therefore, fill your heart with the Word until it becomes the dominant force in your thinking. Let it shape your reasoning, your responses, and your worldview. Don't leave your mind to chance; build it with the Word.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that renews my mind and shapes my life. I guard my thoughts and give myself to the Word, allowing it to dominate my thinking and guide my decisions. I reject every influence that contradicts your truth; I walk in wisdom, and my life produces results that glorify you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*

Romans 12:2 *||* *_"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."_* *||*

For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success."_* *||*

Philippians 4:8 *||* *_"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things."_* *||*

*Affirmations*

I can never be sick, I can never be diseased, because Jesus paid the price for my health. Sickness is foreign to my body, in the Name of Jesus. My testimony is that of health, peace, prosperity, wealth, and joy. I walk in the blessings of God.

I have the divine life; therefore, divine health is my nature in Christ. Sickness, disease, and infirmities have no place in my body. I will not observe lying vanities. I live in and by God’s Word today and every day, overriding all oppositions and falsehoods. Glory to God!

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I have dominion over hopeless situations and I produce miracles. I walk in health, strength, and vitality, establishing God’s will and righteousness in my world to the glory and praise of the Father. Amen!

MAKE FULL PROOF OF THE LIFE IN YOU

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry (2 Timothy 4:5).

In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul, by the Spirit, gave a most remarkable admonition, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life….” Eternal life is your present-hour possession in Christ Jesus. However, God didn’t give you eternal life for it to remain a doctrine you confess.

Rather, He wants that life manifested in and through you. He wants you to make full proof of the divine life in you. Bring it into evidence. Demonstrate it. Let it be seen in your life. The life you’ve received in Christ isn’t dormant; rather, it responds to your consciousness and your participation.

Philemon 1:6 says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Every so often, acknowledge that the life of God is in you. Your consciousness or certainty of it produces boldness; boldness to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, knowing that nothing shall by any means hurt you, just as the Bible says. Your words, your actions, and your responses become the proof that the life in you is real.

The Lord Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17-18). These are some of the proofs or signs that accompany those who have eternal life.

We’re victors in Christ Jesus, triumphant always, in all things and in every place. The life in you brings healing, deliverance and transformation to those in need. When you speak, things change. When you act, the divine life is manifested. This is your calling: to manifest the life of God so clearly that it becomes undeniable. And as you do, your life becomes a testimony of His power, His nature and His glory. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of eternal life in me. I make full proof of this life today, expressing your nature, manifesting your power, and walking in dominion over circumstances. My life is a testimony of your glory and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
