YOU ARE A HOLY NATION

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 marvelous light; 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).

Isaiah 60:22(A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time).

Revelation 5:9(And they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth).

Christ has redeemed us by his blood out of every nation to make us a nation as individuals; not just a nation but a strong nation that was his original plan for us. This means you are no longer a person but a nation just like Isaac was (Galatians 4:28). The bible tells us that our new birth has made us Abraham’s seeds and if we are Abraham’s seed the potential to grow and become greater than nation is in us; all we have to do is to activate it.  Genesis 26:13(And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds, and great score of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we). Isaac alone was greater than the whole nation of the philistine and they begged him to leave because of envy; if your greatness does not attract envy then is not yet considered being great. Jesus Christ does not call us to live a life of poverty or to be unfruitful. He called the disciples and made them fishers of men; he called people to make them. So, friends, you are not called to be mocked or to be a nonentity, you are to be the envy of many. Jacob also went to Egypt and came out as a nation of Israel. Redemption has made us one of them with the ability to replicate and multiply. We are ordained a fruitful vine; at creation after God created man, He blessed them to be fruitful. Genesis 1:27(So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed the, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth). Man lost his full capacity to become who God really intended them to be because of sin; man lost his blessings and received curses (Genesis 3:14-20). Abraham and his seeds were chosen by God to show man what greatness feels like. Genesis 22:16(And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed and as the stars of the heaven, and the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies).  Thank God for His mercy, redemption has now made us the seed of Abraham having potential to become a Holy nation. Galatians 3:13(Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree; 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith). Abraham sacrificed his son Isaac to obtain the blessings and Jesus Christ offered himself as a sacrifice for us to receive the blessing that Abraham obtained. The Spirit of God carries the seed of greatness that we need and even though we gave our lives to Christ we need holiness to maintain a relationship with Holy God in order to become a Holy Nation. 1 peter 1:15(But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy). Our God is a covenant keeping God; He promised to deliver the children of Israel from slavery and He does and they possess the gate of their enemies and became a strong nation. Their wilderness experience was to learn how to follow God’s leading in order to possess their possession. Friends, I don’t know what you are going through now that is making your new birth look like a joke; I have good news for you as long as you are on the right path you will soon get to your land flow with milk and honey in Jesus name.  The curses were reversed by sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the blessings and the promise of the Spirit is to be received through Jesus Christ. In case you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, here is another opportunity, do it today and be on your way to become a holy nation that you are ordained to be in Jesus name. In the journey to greatness salvation is the first step, please don’t despise it.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

YOU ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

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 marvelous light; 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).

Revelation 5:9(And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And has made us unto our God kings and priest: and we shall reign here on the earth).

Redemption has made us the redeemer a royalty; we are no longer an ordinary person and it is very important to know our new status and behave as such. Jesus Christ purchased us with his precious blood and presented us to God as kings and priest; so the price he paid for our kingship and priesthood was his blood. He made us equal to himself because his blood now flows through our veins. We are related to him by blood, which automatically makes us a royalty (Roman 8:29). If he says you are king and priest, that’s exactly who you are; so stop looking down on yourself. Your new birth is what changes your status and that’s why Satan is fighting very hard to stop people from changing their status. As long as the book remains close and the seal remains intact people will continue to remain in bondage under the torment of the devil. But now that the book is open and the seal has been broken by the sacrifice of Jesus; it will be a painful thing to Jesus if he looks and sees that those who he sacrificed himself to save refuse to take their position and still continue to suffer in pain because of lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6a (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge). It is lack of knowledge that makes the princes walk as servants on earth where they were ordained to rule and the servants riding on horses (Ecclesiastes 10:6-7). It was a pure display of ignorance and it is a very sad situation; no one will take your crown in Jesus name. you are a unique personality, you are no longer who you used to be because the scripture said you are redeemed by his blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation(Revelation 5:10). Out of all those people he chooses you, and that’s what makes you different. The book is open for you to look into it and see what accompanies your new status and take hold of what is yours because if you don’t manifest what is yours in redemption you will still be thinking that you are in bondage. What the knowledge acquired from the books does is to change our thinking pattern and transform us to the original image that God created us to be; so it is very clear why God said in the book of (Hosea 4:6) that if we despise knowledge He will reject us. Not knowing the knowledge of our royalty will make us think that being born again is a waste of time and that will defeat the purpose of redemption because we are meant to be a mirror through which others can see God and come to Him. Without the manifestation of any of this Spirits of God that was sent forth into all the earth which are, (the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding, the Spirit of counsel, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and the Spirit of the fear of God) it will be very difficult for us to rule here on earth as kings and priests (Revelation 5:6 and Isaiah 11:2). Here are the benefits of our redemption and kings are expected to have all of them. Revelation 5:10(Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor. And glory, and blessing). Friends, now that you know who you are in redemption begin to walk in the reality of your true identity. The book is open and the seal has been broken yet Satan continues his blind folding game to keep people in darkness and bondage. 2 Corinthian 4:4 (In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lets the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them). The power to say no to his blind folding is now in your hand and that is exactly what this message is meant to achieve. Jesus loves you, you are among his chosen but you need to accept his offer by making him your Lord and your savior and this salvation prayer below will set you on the right path to receive your crown.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

DIVINE PACKAGING (EXAMPLE OF QUEEN ESTHER)

Esther 2:7(And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. 8 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the King’s house, to the custody of Hagai, keeper of women).

As we continue in this line of message THE PURPOSE; even though the product is designed to meet a specific purpose but for it to get the attention of those it meant for; there will be need for packaging. The way you package your product will determine whether it will sell or not. God the manufacturer knows the beginning and the end; He already knows the end user of His product before manufacturing it. Every product is unique and packaged to meet the need and satisfy the taste of the people. The bible tells us that after God finished His work during creation He said that everything is good (Genesis 1:21). When He gave Adam his wife; Adam said the woman is beautiful and called her flesh of his flesh (Genesis 2:23). Whatever is not good is not of God; if it is not good that means the destroyer has polluted the original purpose because that’s his job. He came to seal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). The good news is, Jesus came to repair whatever he has destroyed.

Queen Esther was divinely packaged to meet the exact need of King Ahasuerus; her being in that kingdom at that time was not an accident, it was for a purpose. Her purpose was to save the life of others; that’s why I know for sure that whatever you are going through now is for your lifting in Jesus name. God is preparing you for your throne so that you will not be disgraced or dethroned prematurely like Queen Vashti (Esther 1:12-19). Friends, when your time to be enthroned comes no one will stand on your way in Jesus name; every obstacle will be cleared off. The King’s wise men described the woman that should replace Queen Vashti and it fit the perfect picture of Queen Esther. God anointed and prepared her for that period with oil of favor; that same oil is coming upon someone reading this message now in Jesus name. Esther was manufactured and given to Mordecai as his daughter because she was an orphan, she was a special child and was raised to see herself as queen in making and behave as such. Being an orphan and a slave does not stop her from getting to her destination. When the time came for her to manifest her destiny as a deliverer her uncle needed to remind her that she was created for this particular purpose and that was a wakeup call for Queen Esther. Esther 4:14(For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?) At times we need a soft or harsh reminder from God to know why we are here in the first place. Those words empowered Esther and she was strengthening and said if she perishes she perishes but the job has to be done. Esther 4:16(Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish). Until we face our assignment with if I perish, I perish mentality we will not be able to fulfill our destiny in life. I pray for someone reading this right now you will not be paralyze by the spirit of fear in Jesus name. I decree boldness upon you right now in Jesus name. Esther defeated Haman without physical ammunition but spiritual and famine advantage. You are created to be a woman for a purpose and that purpose is what you need to find. The description of Esther and that of David should tell you that God knows why he made you the way you are; it is not His fault that you have not discovered yourself. That word because you are a woman is ammunition against your confidence, don’t fall for it. I am not saying you should be rude and not give men their place, Esther did not disrespect the King like Queen Vashti does and yet she won her battle and fulfilled her destiny. Parents, please train your girl child well and don’t weaken her by telling her because she is a woman she cannot be an Engineer or a pilot. That word limits their ability to be who God has designed them to be; it is a confidence killer. Let your girl child grow naturally in the Lord, the best gift you can give any child is to train them in the way of God. Mordecai trained Esther in the way of God and she behaves very well and very strong and wise. Esther’s approach in solving the problem of Jews was to please God first and seek His face in prayer and fasting. Our relationship with God should be our priority; it is only God that can turn the king's heart to favor you. Friends, here is another opportunity to enter into a relationship with God, in case you have not by praying this salvation prayer below.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

YOU ARE A PECULIAR PERSON

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 marvelous light; 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).

2 Corinthians 6:17(Wherefore come out from among them. and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty).

Redemption has made the redeemer a special personality; you are no longer an ordinary person. The new birth has made us unique and peculiar people but many did not know who they really are. If you know your worth you will not compare yourself to anyone. God has the power to make every human being look the same but He chooses not to for a reason. The scripture said that before you are nobody but now you are someone special by reason of your new birth and because you now relate to Christ you have been translated from the realm of nonentity to royal priesthood. You are no longer who you used to be in the past, you have changed levels and you need to act like someone special. It is time to know your peculiarity, the all-powerful God, the creator of the universe is your father. I know I am a queen even before I met Christ, it is right inside me and I carry myself as such; knowing Christ has confirmed what I already know. If you take time to look deep into yourself you will find your peculiarity. The enemy will want to deceive you because that’s the only way he can win the battle against your destiny. He will try to take away your confidence by throwing dirt at you but be courageous and strong. Esther was predestined to be a queen but she lost her parents and became an orphan that alone should have taken away her confidence but it did not. Without her confidence her beauty will not be noticed by those who went through their province to select maidens. She was aware of her uniqueness, she knew she was a royal personality deep inside and she was manifesting it out. It is what you conceive in your mind that will play out in the open. That's why Satan has mastered the act of playing with our mind. Satan will be telling you that you are ugly and you should go and work on your lips and make it better. If you pay attention to that you will start covering your lips in public, what kind of queen does that. David knew he was a king even before he was chosen. He said he was fearfully and wonderfully made to fit his office; he was so sure of his personality and that gave him confidence to confront and kill the bear, lion and then Goliath (Psalm 139:14). Friends, please build up your confidence, start by trusting and believe in the person God created you to be. King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 10:6(Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low places. 7 I have seen servants upon the horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth). The princes walk as servants because they don’t know who they are, the enemy has stripped them of their royal robe. Your confidence in God is your royal robe and that is the target of the enemy; Goliath tried to take that away from David but he could not and he lost his head in the process. Anyone that will try to tamper with your royal robe from now henceforth will lose their head in Jesus name.  Goliath took away the royal robe of King Saul and his armies. David came to restore their dignity because he knows who he was (1 Samuel 17). I see God restoring someone's royal robe today in Jesus' name. If you are still in darkness, then there is nothing special about you because what darkness does is to strip people of their royal robe and cover their glory; only those who are in the kingdom of light can show forth the glory of God. Colossians 1:13(Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son). Friends, that’s why you need to come out from among them and be separated and become God’s daughters and sons; that’s the only way the emptiness can be filled (2Corinthians 6:17-18). God is still in the business of restoration but only to those who will allow Him by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. John 10:10(The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly). Now, say boldly to yourself; I am special, I am unique, I am a royalty, I am wonderfully and fearfully made. Your true nature will start reflecting from now henceforth in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION

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 marvelous light; 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).

As we continue in this line of topic, THE PURPOSE; it is very important to know that God the manufacturer knows the exact product needed for each generation. If you go through the scripture you will notice that in every generation there are stars whose names cannot be erased or wiped out from the face of the earth even though they are no longer here on earth. God is saying that as the children of the kingdom we are chosen to show forth His excellence. We are His chosen people, His true representative here on earth; redemption has confers to us such dignity. The bible says that in the past we were nobody but now we are somebody very important by redemption. God has empowered us by putting His Spirit in us to achieve the purpose He has created us for. Without the Spirit of God in us we can do nothing; the irony of it all is that many did not know that they were chosen; they live their life carelessly like ordinary men and women; it ought not to be so. That is why I know that this message is a wakeup call for some reading it right now. You are a queen, you are a king; it is not pride, that’s who you are by redemption. Jesus Christ purchases the crown and the throne for you with his precious blood. You need to be aware and do exactly what you have been chosen to do; that way your name will not be wiped out from the face of the earth. Jesus Christ said that you have the potential in you to be greater than the fathers of faith. It is your responsibility to activate your potential. Matthew 11:11(Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he). Jesus said that we are ordained to do greater work than him, you have a destiny of no limit but it is you that will decide the limit you want to attain (John 14:12). No one can oppose you because you are an overcomer and he that is now in you by reason of your new birth is greater than the devil. God chose you and it is only you that can decide whether you want to do the work. You can choose to be a vessel of dishonor, that’s your business, because the scripture said if a man purges himself, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use and prepared unto every good work (2 Timothy 2:20-21). You need to live a life that glorifies God that even the blind will know that you are a royalty. Even though you are a chosen generation does not automatically guarantee that you will run the race to the finish line. The only guarantee is you taking responsibility and being the person God created you to be. The knowledge of who you are in redemption helps. The bible says my people are destroyed because they lack knowledge. That’s why the manufacturer’s manual which is the bible should be our companion; with that you cannot miss your way. When you are His chosen you enjoy supernatural supplies, divine protection because his eye will continuously be upon you. He will fight all your battles for you and make sure that you fulfill your destiny in grand style just like He did for the children of Israel in the wilderness.  He is still the same God today and forever. We have been chosen to live a life that glorifies God and be a mirror through which others can see Him. You are ordained to be special but you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior that way you have accepted God’s offer of selecting you as His own. In case you are not yet among the chosen generation, this salvation prayer below is your only qualification, do it and receive your royal crown in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

YOU ARE VALUABLE AND NEEDED

Psalm 139:13(For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well).

In the school of business, we are trained to recognize a need and find a way to meet that need. To give birth to a product you need to have in mind the specific purpose you want your product to achieve and identify where your product is needed. Without a good feasibility study your business will fail. The scripture tells us that God is a business God. Jesus Christ said He is going about his father’s business (Luke 2:49). The kingdom of heaven was described as a man who gave talent to his servant to trade. If you are not needed here on earth you will not be here.

The question we all should ask ourselves is, if a product is design and manufacture to address a specific need and meet a purpose; then now that I have found out that I am needed somewhere, am I at the right place and if yes, am I meeting the need of those who I am here for and if yes, then what is my reward and who is rewarding me. Both manufacturer and the consumer are meant to be happy with the product. The difference between the physical product and us is that in our own case the product is rewarded by the manufacturer. The manufacturer expects the product to finish his or her work and return to him for a reward; but the sad news is that not every product was able to return back to the manufacturer and the original intention was for them to come back and be enthroned. God the manufacturer knows exactly where his products are needed at a time and he will send them to the place where they are needed; that’s why I know that you are not an accident, you are highly valuable and needed. He chooses your parents, your color, your frame, your ethnicity, your place of birth, the hour of your birth; everything is deliberate and well calculated. God does not make a mistake. Friends, you are not a mistake, don’t allow any devil to deceive you.  Knowing this truth will help you to find your bearing in life in case you have not found it and if you have found it and lose it, you can reconnect. The bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The reason why you are still in bondage is because you have not found the truth. That’s why God is sending you this message today; I am so sure this message is for you. Moses was needed at the particular time that he was born and the kingdom of darkness knows it too, they tried to kill him but God hands him over to the man who wanted him killed to raise him; how would you now think that He will not help you to fulfill your purpose if you allow Him. The children of Israel requested for a savior and God sent them Moses. Moses was designed for that particular purpose. Joseph said that he was created to preserve the life of the same people that wanted him dead. Even though he was not born in Egypt, he was sent to Egypt to fulfill his purpose. John the Baptist was designed and sent to be the forerunner of the messiah; he was needed at the place and at that particular period. Queen Ether was needed to save the life of her people. Paul the Apostle was needed and the kingdom of darkness tried to twist his destiny but when the appointed time came the Messiah appeared to him and showed him the way to go. In case the enemies have succeeded in diverting your journey, the power that re-positioned Paul will do it for you today in Jesus name. Your case is not different from any of them. As a person I tried not to be like someone else because I know that I am different and my uniqueness is where my power lies; if you carry that kind of mentality you will be free from the spirit of envy. Envy is bad and is witchcraft, stay away from it by all means. When you know who you are you will not be envious of anyone because you will be so pleased with God and yourself that whatever any other person has or does will not matter to you. David knows this, that’s why he said that he was perfectly and wonderfully made. Friends, you know that you are needed, that’s the truth, the next step is salvation, it will help you to connect and stay connected to God’s agenda for your life. Say to yourself, I am needed, I am valuable, I have a race to run and I shall end it well with my award in my hand.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

THE POWER OF FOCUS: JOEL 2:1-11

 Joel 2:4(The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as the horsemen, so shall they run.5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. They shall run like a mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded).

In the race of destiny, the power of focus cannot be over emphasized; it is one of our major weapons as an overcomer. As a believer we are trained to focus on the goal and follow the leading of God. As long as your eye is on the goal it will be difficult to fail. If you can see beyond the obstacle you will definitely get to your destination. The Army of the LORD picture in our anchor scriptures today was those who are running with the vision that God gave them; they are men and women of purpose. They have found what they were created to do and have been tested and came out as silver and gold. The bible said that their appearance causes pain in the camp of their enemies; that will be your testimony in Jesus name. Joel 2:6(Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness). They took over the city and no one could oppose them, they were a terror to the kingdom of darkness. You may ask, but Nene, how come they command so much power? Because their focus was on Him that called them to do His work, they trust God completely without any doubt. They have been proved and found worthy and God entrusted them with so much power to carry out His work. Every one of them knows and respects their uniqueness; they focus on their lane and work on the path that God has set for them. When you are focused on your assignment every obstacle is destroyable. Some people will be so consumed and obsessed with what others are doing that they wouldn’t even know when they drop out of the race themselves. Satan will definitely try to do his job, causing distraction is part of his ministry but he will fail and be crushed just as the Army of the LORD did to him and his camp in Jesus name; they were totally destroyed and become desolate. Friends, you are empowered to conquer territory as a redeemed child of God. Having the knowledge of who you are will help you to manifest your destiny to the fullest. The Army of the LORD knew that they could overcome that’s why they confidently entered the fire, climbed the walls and cleared the enemies off their ways; no mercy for the wicked and no negotiation with the devil. The word of God was their sword; the bible says it is sharper than any two-edged swords, it cuts both ways (Hebrews 4:12). (Joel 2:11 paraphrasing for he is strong that executed his word). The word of God you hear and do is what makes you strong and more than a conqueror. After Moses’s departure the LORD told Joshua the secret of success. Joshua 1:8(This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but that thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success). The LORD told him to be courageous, strong and bold that He will always be with him, the presence of God in our life is our confidence. The Army of the LORD was aware of His presence that’s why they were so bold and audacious. Apostle Paul said that he lost everything in the world in order to win Christ and he achieve that by forgetting the things which are behind and focus on Christ who is front leading him and at the end he said his crown was ready and waiting for him; that shall be your testimony in Jesus name (Philippians 3:7-14, 2 Timothy 4:7-8). You will not run the race in vain in Jesus name. Friends, let's focus on the right things because with that we can boldly say that we have run well. Christ in you is the hope of glory; without Christ we are hopeless (Colossians 1:27). The reason for that emptiness is because Christ has not filled his space in your life; here is another opportunity for you to invite him into your life because he will not force himself on you. Please take the bold step today and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

OVERCOMING SATANIC DIVERSION

Joel 2:7(They shall run like a mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded).

As we continue in the race of destiny; we cannot be ignorant of satanic diversion because no one will intentionally not want to fulfill his or her destiny if they know what God has created them for; since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden man purpose was defeated but God has found a way of restoring man purpose through His Son Jesus Christ. The mandate was stolen from man by the devil and man begins to do evil like him instead of doing good things like God. At new birth we have our mandate back but the person who stole it from us will not rest until he can take it again. That’s why we need power to manifest our destiny (John 1:12). Satan has so many ways that he designs and masters to stop us from achieving our goal. He creates diversion so that you can miss your way and when you are not on the right path the purpose has been defeated. Satan’s main agenda is to make sure that you don’t get to your destination; but the good news is that you can overcome. Some started their race on a good note but end up very bad or even drop in the middle. The crown is given at the end of the race, and the one who is awarding the prize said that His soul does not have pleasure in those who draw back (Hebrews 10:38). Satanic diversion is real but more real is God’s overcoming power by leading us through the path of righteousness in order to glorify His name (Psalm 23:3). Satan diversion’s plan will be staring in your face; you need discipline and extreme focus to overcome them. That’s the picture the bible painted to us of the men in the book of Joel chapter 2. They were so focused that no obstacle could stop them; they were trained not to see the obstacles. Those men are meant to be you and me; God is showing us how we should run the race. They overcame every obstacle on their way. They were not distracted nor diverted. The one leading them was in front clearing the way and that’s where their focus is. Those obstacles are Satan’s diversion plan but it didn’t work; it will not work in your life in Jesus name. You have to be aware of your overcoming power that has been deposited in you at new birth. 1 John 4:4(For whatsoever is born of God overcameth the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?). Just like Paul the Apostle was aware of his overcoming power. You need the mentality of an overcomer to conquer the devil and receive your award. Philippians 3:13(Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus). This scripture has summarized everything we need to know about our call and what to do to overcome satanic diversion; may the LORD give us understanding in Jesus name. If you are focusing on your past, which means you are not focusing on God and you will lose Him because He does not take record your past. Going back to the past is slowing down and you can’t move forward carrying a heavy load. Jesus Christ said we should drop our burden at his feet (Matthew 11:28). In case you are not yet born of God; here is another opportunity for you to do so and be enrolled into the race and be part of the overcomer’s family. 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
