THE SECRET OF THE LORD

The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. Psalm 25:14 There are secrets of the kingdom of God; keys that will cause you to flourish when you apply them. However, this time David shows us that there is the main secret, and he calls it the secret of the LORD. He uses a definite article “the secret” not “a secret,” furthermore, “the secret” is in the singular form not plural. What is the secret of the LORD? He let us know in the verse that follows. My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 25:15 David says here that he will fix his eyes or focus on God and God will pluck his feet out of the net that the enemy has laid out for him. In other words, David is saying here that he will seek God and God will deliver him out of every trouble. The secret of the Lord is seeking God, spending time with Him and focusing on Him. The secret of the Lord is intimacy with God. Some people want the principle...

IT’S THE ANOINTING THAT BREAKS THE YOKE

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)                                                                                             Beloved, it is all in the anointing. The anointing is the presence and the power of God upon a believer that enables him or her to accomplish God’s work. The yoke of sickness, poverty, stagnation, etc. can be destroyed by the anointing....

REJOICE!

This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 Today is a new day and you can rejoice and be glad in it. As a child of God, you can rejoice every day because you are forgiven, you are the healed, you are rich and you are blessed. No matter what your life looks like right now, you can rejoice. Do not let temporary circumstances still your joy, choose to rejoice.   You could be saying, “I have pain in my body or I’ve been diagnosed with an illness.” You see that is a fact and facts can change. What is the truth? By Jesus’ stripes you are healed. Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed. 1 Peter 2:24 You could be saying, “I’m in debt and things are not looking good financially.” That is only a fact and facts can change. What is the truth? Jesus became poor that you may be rich and you are a joint-heir with Christ Jesus. For you kno...

CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 There are good works that God wants you to walk in. God wants you to be fruitful and productive. We are God’s workmanship and the sheep of His pasture. When we follow Him, He leads us to bear good fruit and produce good works. When we follow Him, we bear the fruit of the Spirit and produce good works. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 We are created to produce good works that advance the kingdom of God. There are good works that we need to get involved in like giving to the poor, serving in the local church, planting churches, winning souls and leading many to righteousness. You also produce good works when you pursue your purpose. We have to engage in advancing the kingdom of God by bearing good frui...

SAVED BY GRACE

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 We are saved by grace and not by our good works. You cannot earn your salvation, no matter how many good deeds you get involved in. Salvation is a free gift of God that you receive by faith in the Lord Jesus. If salvation is a free gift of God, then why are so many people not born again? That’s because the devil has blinded them. They need our prayers so that God can move on their behalf. God does not intervene unless we ask Him to do it. We need to pray for the lost; we need to pray for souls. You can start by praying for people close to you like family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc. When you have adequately prayed for others then you can share the gospel with them. If not at least invite them to church. Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? Isaiah 53:1 W...

JESUS TAKES AWAY THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14   When Jesus takes away sins, He also takes away the consequences of sins. Jesus takes away the curse which came as a result of man’s sin. When He takes away the curse, the blessing of Abraham comes upon us. Every child of God is blessed with the blessings of Abraham. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 When Adam sinned the curse came into the world. When you are under the law the curse works effectually in your life, but praise the Lord! We are not under the law but under grace. When you receive Jesus, He takes away the curse and He gives you the blessing. He make...

JESUS TAKES AWAY SIN

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29 Sin separates man from God. This is precisely what happened to Adam. When Adam sinned, he became estranged from God. He no longer had a healthy and living relationship with God, where God and Adam would fellowship together. He became separated from God, all because of sin. He was driven out of the Garden. Adam first died spiritually and then physically. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 Jesus came to restore the relationship that was lost between God and man. He came to give us life, eternal life, life as God has it. When you receive Jesus and confess Him as your Lord and Saviour, you receive eternal life and you are reconciled and restored to a relationship with God. That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has...
