THE RETURN OF MAN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND YOUR ACCESS TO THE TREE OF LIFE

The worst thing that can happen to any believer is to allow the devil to take them out of their Garden of Eden; It is pure spiritual assassination and no one should allow him or herself to be a victim of such.

Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

Anyone who takes fish out of the water has killed that fish and that is exactly what the devil did to man when he caused them to disobey God and man was chased out of the Garden of Eden. In the same way, water provides life for the fish, the tree of life in the Garden of Eden is the source of life for man; it is what connects man to God and Satan knows very well. That is why when God chased man out of the Garden of Eden He put Angels to guard the Tree of Life with clear instruction that man should never come near. This tree of life was only mentioned in three Bible books (Genesis, Proverbs, and Revelation). 

Genesis 3:22 (And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life).

The only way a man can return to the garden and get access to the Tree of Life is through acceptance of Jesus and complete obedience to the commandments of God. so, what disobedience took from man obedience brought it back. The Garden of Eden is a place filled with the overwhelming presence of God that engenders total comfort, an abundance of provisions, divine covering, and many more of God's goodness. Man was in the garden and never felt any need to gather the gold and all the precious stones around him because man was content but when man was chased out of the Garden of Eden scarcity of resources set in and man began to live a covetous life. Nothing satisfies man anymore. Satan begins to rule over man by dictating to man and constantly reminding man of his nakedness. No matter how man tries to cover himself he still feels naked because the glory of God which was his covering has left. Note, according to the above scripture (Genesis 3:22) it was not the original intention of God for man to lay hold on the Tree of Life and live forever. The coming of Jesus Christ gives man the opportunity to lay hold on the tree of life and live forever if the condition is met. Jesus Christ the wisdom and the power of God is the tree of life and His sacrifice has given us not only access to the tree of life but to lay hold on it (1 Corinthians 1:24). So, God that knew the end from the beginning was aware of man's disobedience before it happened. That is why he never wanted them to lay hold on the Tree of Life while they were there in the Garden of Eden. Proverbs 3:16 (Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her). Proverbs 11:30 (The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise). Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God and the tree of life is described as wisdom and He that wins soul for God is wise And the wise shall inherit the glory, so the glory that departs from man that makes them feel naked and never have enough can only return when you chose to be wise and win soul for God. Revelation 2:7( He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God). Revelation 22:2 (In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations). Revelation 22:14 (Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city). The tree of life produces twelve manners of fruits one for each month of the year but only the overcomers can eat of it; that is those that overcome satanic attacks by keeping the commandments of God. 1 John 5:5( Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?). The step towards your return is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour because only he can give you eternal life and guarantee your access to the Tree of Life. John 3:15 (That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life). John 17:3 (And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent). Friends, what are you still waiting for, hurry up and return to your Garden of Eden and lay hold of the tree of life by praying this salvation prayer below 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

GROWING UP INTO YOUR REAL SELF

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The agenda of God for each and every one of us is to grow into the real manifestation of our true identity. When a child is born, nobody can easily identify who he or she looks like people may just be guessing but as time goes on and weeks pass by; and as he continues to grow the true identity of that child will be very prominent for all to see. Even though some say, there is no hurry in life, you are not permitted to remain in one stage forever; our life is designed to move in stages. When one spends too much time in one stage of life it becomes a concern to everyone around who genuinely cares. Imagine if your child gets to a stage of crawling and he refuses to crawl and continues to remain in one place, won't you be worried? Of Course you would be worried because that is not how God designed his life to be. Growth is a fundamental aspect of life, every living creature is expected to grow and be fruitful. It is the joy of every parent to see and watch their children grow into adulthood; the same goes to our father in heaven. Our growth is very important to God because no one wants to continue to babysit a child forever. Everything you need in order to develop to the level of your manifestation has been made available to you. God wants to reveal his glory to the word through you but until you grow from child to son or daughter that won't be possible. The world is not waiting for the children of God but they are waiting for the sons and daughters of God. 

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

The image people are seeing right now, no matter where you are, is not the real image yet, there is something more to add to it. So, don't allow men to keep guessing who you are, let them start seeing the image of your Father in you, before the world will require a DNA test because of you. There is no limit to your growth; when you stop learning you will stop growing; some are already getting close to the level of their manifestation before they stop; very sad. Proverbs 4:18 (But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day).

If you think they are not watching, you are deceiving yourself; you are a son and daughter of the most high God and the world know that you have inside of you the genotype of greatness; you have what they need and they are waiting for you in expectation that you will come out of your trial fully refined to show them the way. You are the heir of salvation but if you refuse to grow you will remain under the guidance of those you are meant to be ruling over, I pray that will not be you, in Jesus name.

Galatians 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Friends, it is not too late to become a son and a daughter of God but you can only do that through Jesus Christ who has paid the price for your sin by praying this salvation prayer below and taking your proper place in redemption. 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF SIN AND THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS

Sin is not a friend of anybody; sin is a destroyer, a killer and it steals people's destiny; so, it is a dangerous thing for you to be playing with something that can destroy your life (John 10:10). If you don´t stop sin then sin will definitely stop you, but that will not be your portion, in Jesus name. One of the characteristics of sin that make it dangerous is that sin is very enticing and pleasurable but just for a moment. Sin is a trap set by the devil to capture people's glorious destiny but yours will not be captured, in Jesus name. Below is one of the biblical examples of someone whose sin nearly ended her life. 

John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Sin was about to end her life before Jesus Christ rescued her and set her free; he didn't just set her free he rewrote her story and revealed her true identity to his accusers and they all left her alone. When Jesus Christ is done rewriting your story your accusers will all disappear. While waiting to be exposed before repenting; you may not be as lucky as that woman. Don't allow sin to disgrace you, be the first to expose sin by coming out openly and surrender your life to Christ. Sin is the spirit of Satan and what he does is to suppress the originality of his victim and begin to misrepresent that individual. it takes the Spirit of Christ which is the spirit of righteousness, the spirit of freedom to chase him out. When that individual is liberated he or she will begin to manifest their God given agenda. By writing on the ground the accusers of that woman saw the original image of that woman and they left her alone. Samson has a great destiny and a powerful ministry but all of that ended by sin; he was not as lucky as the woman that Jesus Christ rescued. Samson refuses to stop sin until sin exposes him, disgrace him and pluck out his eyes and then kill him (Judges 16). Samson´s accusers did not take him to Jesus; they took matters into their hands. In the world today no accuser will take you to Jesus, you will be the one to go to him by yourself. Without repentance, there is no forgiveness and without forgiveness there is no change of story. It is only when the correction fluid which is the blood of Jesus is applied to wipe out your sin that your story can be rewrite. Every stronghold of sin holding you captive, I decree your freedom today by the stronghold of the blood of Jesus (Zechariah 9:11-12). Friends, I don't know what you are struggling with, but as you make up your mind to turn to your stronghold today, you shall be set free indeed, in Jesus name. The purification power in the blood of Jesus will sanctify you and wipe out every evil hand writing over your destiny, in the name of Jesus. Many are in physical prison waiting for death trials while many get themselves killed on a daily basis because of sin and then cut short their glorious destiny, but that will not be you, in Jesus name. No matter how bad that sin is, the blood of Jesus is enough to cover it. Please don´t wait for sin to end your life; run to Jesus; give him the opportunity to fix you and to change your story. The Samaritan woman encountered Jesus but until she dropped her water pots which is the baggage of sin that she carried and surrendered all to Christ her story was not changed but when she did she became an instant celebrity in the same town where she was known as a serial adulterer. You also can become his instant disciples today and become a celebrated soul. Ask him to give you the living water and the thirst for sin will disappear from you, in Jesus name. Confess your sin to him, tell him you are willing to stop stealing, lying, covetousness, envy and the killing but you need his help and he will come for your rescue. Friends, your repentant starts by accepting his sacrifice 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

THE CORRECTION FLUID (THE PERFECTION POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS)

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Perfection is the agenda of God for every one of us because in the beginning everything he created was perfectly made, there was no record of him going back to correct anything. Genesis 1:31 (And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day). When sin entered the world, corruption was born and the issue of correction started until Jesus came to the world. The blood of Jesus is our correction fluid that erases every error that man made and once it is applied nothing can be done to make it visible again. The work of the correction fluid is to make it possible for the person to re-write his or her original intention. When we plead the blood of Jesus on our lives and ask him to wipe out all our iniquity; he will not just wipe it out; he will also make it possible for his original purpose for our life to become obvious for all to see. 

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

When Adam and Eve sinned they hid themselves from God; He could not see them even though they were there (Genesis 3:1-12). What sin does is to hide you away from the glaring view of the Living God because He says that be ye holy because He is Holy and also that His eyes cannot behold your iniquity (1 Peter 1:16, Habakkuk 1:13). Matthew 27:50 (Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;)

The sacrifice of Jesus removes the veil that sin has used to separate us from God; if He is not seeing you how would he know your situation and even to make an attempt to change your story. God created a perfect man but sin has turned man into a monster that even God himself despises the appearance of what he has created. Genesis 3:3 (But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die). Their original image that made them perfect and put them in the class of God died when they disobeyed God´s instruction. To be made alive again blood needs to be shed and that is why God killed animals and used the skin to cover Adam and Eve so that he could manage them but that was not enough. To be made perfect again Jesus Christ has to come as a sacrifice for the atonement of our sin. It would be an error not to take advantage of what God provided for our perfection. Hebrews 10:4 (For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God). The blood continues to clean us until we get that perfect image of  Him that He created us to be in the first place. To be able to do the will of God you need the blood of Jesus as a defense against the spirit of disobedience which is Satan himself. 

Hebrews 10:19 (Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works):

The blood of Jesus is what gives us boldness to appear before God because we know that he has wiped out our iniquities and we can be presented as a virgin undefiled to God. The journey towards perfection is a choice and it starts from knowing that you need salvation; you need a change of heart; that you want to make things right and be close to God. God will not force you to do anything without your will; there must be a willing heart of repentance because without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin and without forgiveness of sin there is no change of story. Friends, the blood of Jesus is available to blot out the evil handwriting that is against you but you need to ask him for forgiveness first by praying this salvation prayer below and be cleansed forever, 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

LEARNING HOW TO WALK WITH GOD

Nobody is born as adult; we all pass through the process of growth and development to the stage where we are now. Life is in progress and we all are work in progress in the hand of the Almighty God. We are ordained to move from one stage to another, and along the way we may fall either because we have not acquired the required strength to embark on that journey or because we are in so much of a hurry to get there. It is expected because errors or mistakes are all part of the learning process.  When a baby reaches a certain stage and refuses to move from there, the parent will become worried and begin to look for a solution on what to do to get the child to the next stage. The same way when we are walking with God; He patiently continues to work on us by correcting, encouraging and scolding if need be. God wants me and you to grow to the level of being able to represent Him as his replica. A child that is learning how to walk will fall many times but the parent will patiently continue to walk the child through until he is able to stand on his feet and run around like other kids. I have not seen where a child who fell by trying to walk was beaten because he fell; no, except you have seen one yourself. In this journey of life, you are definitely going to fall but that does not mean that you will not make it to the finish line, no, the only person that refuses to get up after a fall is the loser. No matter how many times you fall, please get up and continue your journey until you get there. Remember, in this race, there is no competition, you are competing against yourself and you are  the one to determine whether you want to win or not. Since, there is no competition, which means the rule of the game is to run well no matter how many people get there before you. Jesus Christ has not run out of crown, so your crown of glory is safe in his hand, all you need now is determination.  I personally have fallen several times before I got to this level but I have never been ashamed to run back to God; (Psalm 51) was my regular companion. Imagine if i gave up i may not even have been alive to share my story now. It is not a sin to fall but it is a sin to fall and refuse to get up. Friends, learn from the lesson of a crawling child trying very hard  to take a step and you will know that giving up is not an option. In the course of my work as an evangelist I have experienced several disappointments; most times I would be working on a soul and after I thought he or she had stood and they would just fall right in front of me. It can be very frustrating. One day God said to me, daughter, when you encounter this kind of situation, let it not discourage you because they will come back. He said to me, don´t give up and continue going out to win more souls. I confirmed this word of encouragement from God to be true because indeed they always come back. Atimes, my phone will ring, and the caller will say,  Aunty Nene, please I would like to see you. This word from my convert is a music to my soul because I knew it means, Aunty Nene, what can I do to get back into the warm arms of God. Many times we forget where we are coming from and get frustrated when trying to lead others through the same route. Friends, that is exactly what happened to me; I suddenly forgot how many times I fell. God knows that you are coming back, the same way the prodigal son´s father knows that he will return home.

Luke 15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Going back to your father with a heart of repentance is gainful, so, don't be ashamed of coming back home. Enough is enough of you suffering and lacking for what your father has in his possession; please come back home. Your Father's eyes are on the road waiting for your return because he knows you are coming back. Friends, maybe you have made a mistake and the devil took advantage of your error to strip you naked of your substance. I have good news for you, you can always come back home. His right hand is stretched towards you at this moment, please don't keep him waiting, run to his warm arm and be saved forever, 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

BE INTENTIONAL IN YOUR PURSUIT OF GOD

There is this saying which goes, ¨if you don't know where you are going everywhere will look like the place¨ as sad as it sounds many of us have been there before but thank God that we are no longer there now. That is exactly how people get lost in life because they have no idea about their destination. Many of our mistakes in life happen because we don´t know the plan of God for us and we have no idea of who we are. If you don't know who you are, every name will sound like your own and people will give you any name they think you deserve; and we all know that different people have different opinions about us. The only one that knows who we truly are, is our maker. So, it is wise to be intentional in the pursuit of the one who knows us the best. And it is foolish to pursue things that are not gainful; even God wants us to be intentional in whatever we are doing. Everyone in the scripture that successfully pursues their destiny has some distinctive characteristic that stands them out. They are aware of who they are and the purpose of their existence and they follow God faithfully knowing very well that he will lead them to their destination. When you are pursuing God you are actually pursuing your destiny. God himself wants you to be intentional in your walk with him; he wants you to be aware of the glory that is ahead of you. He wants you to have a businessman mindset and focus on the goal post.

Matthew 6:22 (The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!)

Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you).

You worry about so many things because your eye is not single and God wants your eye to be single so that you will not miss the goal post. Distraction is an enemy of destiny and that is one of the weapons that the enemies use the most against the children of God. People who really know themselves can hardly be distracted because they can see the end of the tunnel clearly and their attention is just focused on the one in front of them. Without light you won't be able to see the end of the tunnel but the light you need is Christ and that is why he is saying to you to follow him with the singleness of your heart.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Ask yourself this question; why am I here? What is waiting for me? Why must I pursue God? What is my gain here on earth and after? If you can answer these questions genuinely you will know the next step to take and which way to follow. Those were some of the questions that were going through the mind of Jesus Christ followers and he quickly addressed it. He started by encouraging and he said to them to believe in him and then he told them about the mansions which God will give to them that follow him faithfully to the end. So, while the disciples were going around the world preaching the gospel, the image of their mansions was vividly in their mind. It was their motivation and that helped them during persecution knowing that the glory ahead of them is worth fighting for. Friends, there is only one way and that is, Jesus and he has never misled anyone. He will take you to your destination; all you need to do is to follow him genuinely and be very calculative in your pursuit and you will not regret it, in Jesus name. Let us all follow the example of Apostle  Paul who was very intentional in his pursuit of God and you will not regret it, in Jesus name. 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). Friends, forget what might have happened in the past and focus on the prize; be intentional and you will always win. Maybe all you see now is darkness and you are probably wondering when this will end. I have good news for you; Jesus Christ is waiting for you to follow him; he is the light himself and as soon as you allow him into your life you will begin to see the end of the tunnel clearly. So, what are you waiting for, quickly run to him by praying the salvation prayer below 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

PULLING DOWN THE STRONGHOLDS

No one can successfully pull down any stronghold without the word of in their mouth. The full awareness of your identity in Christ is your number one weapon. Many believers are suffering in silence not because they are not empowered but because they are not aware of the greatness of the power that has been deposited in them at redemption and what the enemy does is to take advantage of our ignorance. Hosea 4:6a (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge):

Jeremiah 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Strongholds are places of heightened spiritual activities; a well reinforced and fortified spiritual environment. Their fruit manifests in the form of high level obstacles that refuse to let one move forward; some are in the form of generational curses, near success syndrome, addiction, stealing, lies, evil family patterns, self sabotage and all sorts of evil habits. It is a line that is difficult for anyone to cross; no matter how much you try it remains unshakable. it is called mountain of ages, they are there before you were born. I have good news for you, no matter how many great fortunes that mountain has cripple, because of your faith in God, that mountain is coming down at your feet now, in the name of Jesus. You are coming out of that horrible pit, in the name of Jesus. Your faith in God is your main weapon; you may be  a child of God and not aware of the power that is at work in you. Just like Jeremiah, he has the power to destroy kingdoms and Nations but he was afraid of the people because he was not aware of what was inside of him. May be God is telling you the same thing right now; that He know you, i know what i have put inside of you, i know who i have ordained you to be; you can pull down the mountain; don´t be afraid of them; speak the word that i have put in you and they will disappear, He is saying to you, my daughter, my son. do not be afraid of the storm; just speak the word and they will listen. Giants don't go on their own accord; they need confrontation; that is why God tells the Israelite to contend with their giant in battle. 

2 Corinthians 10:3 (For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ); 

We do not war after the flesh as the scripture has rightly said. It is better you know rightly who your real enemy is so that you will not be fighting the wrong battle. If what is inside of them is manifesting in the open then let what is inside of you begin to manifest in the open for all to see and glorify your Father in heaven. Believe me if what is inside of you begins to manifest what is inside of them will not be able to stand against you. I am talking from experience; but first of all, you need to know your true identity in Christ and let it become an integral part of your being. Secondly, your faith is your weapon of warfare, your faith is built on the word of God. The potency of your faith is what determines the level of your spiritual command. You are to bring them into captivity not the order way round; which means generational curses will be running away from you because you are going to put him where he belongs at the feet of Jesus. Zechariah 9:11( As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee) Jesus Christ is the word of God and he is our own stronghold; which means your spiritual authority will be equal to the amount of the word of God in you. The devil is waiting for you to display your confidence in God which is your faith. His main target is the faith of any believer because he knows that is your weapon against him, so he will try to punch your faith. But that will no longer be you from today, in Jesus name. The blood of Jesus has already brought you out of the pit, you are no longer there, but all you have to do is to turn to your stronghold, accept his sacrifice, learn of him and let him teach you how to use the weapon he has purchased for you with his blood. Only those who turn to this stronghold can pull down the stronghold of the enemy. So friends, When next you are face to face with any stronghold, engage the blood by faith and they will be destroyed, in Jesus name. Jesus Christ is waiting for the next person to run to him for help, if you are the one quickly pray this salvation prayer below 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE

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.

Life is a battlefield and destiny is a race; Christianity is a call to be enrolled into the race of destiny. Without a prize there would be no need for the press; the reason for the press is because there is a crown of glory waiting for you. We are called to live a life of separation unto God; this kind of separation is somehow different from the dictionary definition of separation and that is what makes it difficult and it requires a press to achieve the goal that God has set for us. Separation means partition, disengagement; that is splitting something that is once joined together into different parts; things that are coexisting into different parts. That is, you walk away from something that used to be part of you. The bible separation means different things entirely; it means disengagement but not in isolation. That is you are no longer part of it but still coexisting. Jesus Christ explained what separation means in his prayer for his disciples. It is the word of God in us that makes the difference. The more of the word of God you have in you the wider the gap between you and the unbeliever.

John 17:14 (I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world).

The reason for the pressing is because we are coexisting with the enemies of our race. Even though the race is an individual race and we are not in competition with anyone , we still find it difficult to make progress because we are living side by side with the enemy of our race. God himself designed it to be so and there is nothing much anyone can do about it except to key into the covenant of separation without isolation.

Matthew 13:27 (So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn).

In every race the prize is awarded at the end and if the prize is worth nothing nobody will bother to engage in it. In a marathon race towards the end the people usually get tired and only those who are determined and have built up a stamina for the race can make it to the end. In the parable of the weed; God said they should allow them to grow together and that he will do the separation at the end. I pray for you, the grace to build up stamina required for this year's race, receive it, in Jesus name. It is our character that differentiates us from the world; the race requires that we separate ourselves by not doing what they do, our saving grace is because we have chosen to follow the commandment of God. If not there will be no difference between us and them. Since we are growing together with the world it is very easy for the world to corrupt our behaviour and then create hindrance in our race. It is also very difficult not to be offended. Sin creates baggage that can hinder our race; unforgiveness brings about a heavy burden that can hinder our pressing forward. The only way to make it to the end is to focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our Faith; for the scripture says that he ran the same race as we are running right now and he was tempted as we are but he did not fall. Paul said that he just learned how to forget about the past and then focus on the race so that he will run in vain. What is in front of you is greater than what is behind you, so, stop dwelling on the past so that it will not trap with his failure. You cannot go back to fix the past, that is retrogression but you can do something about the future which is heavily pregnant with good things for you. Friends, gather all your remaining energy and press more because God is waiting for you with your golden crown in his hand, you will get there, in Jesus name. Just a little more effort and you will be right there. The reason why is tough now is because you are very close to your destination. You shall be announced a winner this year, in the name of Jesus. The scripture says, be ye separate and i will be your Father and you will be my daughter and son (2 Corinthian 6:14-18). Friends, if you are still unequally yoked together with them, it is time to make a choice and run to God in separation by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name. Don't waste unless you want to be burned together with them on the last day; but that will not be you, 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 Saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
