The Effect Of The Spirit Of Love In The Believer.

            The spirit of love purifies your soul unto righteousness.

         If you love people they will love you back hence the spirit of love gives you a place in life. By purifying your heart, the spirit of love delivers you from deadly emotions very capable of destroying you and your destiny. When you practice love unto God and to other men you are actually purifying your soul. Read (1 Pet 1:22).

         Handle issues in love for that is where your own glory lies. Rather than to condemn, pray for others that God may deliver them. The more you walk in love the more you are purified. Paul was a man free from bitterness hence he was holy. He was full of glory and power. Free your heart from bitterness with all men, live in love and remain therein.

         Learn to forgive every of your offender. Well, they may make you angry but do not live in perpetual anger for that is sin. Read (Eph 4:26).

         Also speak the truth in love rather than to gossip or speak ill of another. Live your life by love and you will flourish.

         You cannot love God and say you do not love the brethren around you. Despite all he went through in the hands of his brothers and in Potiphar’s house Joseph carried on as if nothing had happened. That is the spirit of love. Read 1Cor 13:4-8.

2.            A love life preserves you in the faith until you are blessed. Read Rom 8:35-37. The fulfillment of the law is love, says the word of God. The spirit of love empowers you against doing evil both in the open and in the secret.

         Those who partake in the nature of Christ will partake of his blessings too.

Read Gen 3:7-9. Love constrained and motivated Joseph against evil. The one you love you will walk to please and not offend. That is even why Paul referred to himself as the servant of God; a bond man.

After Joseph revealed himself to his brothers he asked them not to worry nor had they done him evil! Love indeed!! Read Gen 45:5-7. Joseph became great because he was a man of love and God gave him favor before Pharaoh then lifted him up.

We are children of God, all of us having treat destinies to fulfill but it takes holiness and righteousness to fulfill it. The spirit of love is the cleansing power of the spirit. In all of us is the spirit of love but it is high time we stirred it up. Read Rom 5:5 1 Tim 1:6.

When an issue arises do not react but stop and ask yourself how love would respond. Once you are clear then RESPOND ACCORDING TO LOVE. God is faithful.

The Enemies Of Praise

Fear in your heart is one of the enemies of praise. And praising God with fear in your heart is mechanical; mechanical praise does not move God. Joy and gladness rather than fear in your heart is what moves God when you praise Him.  Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: spring … Joel 2:22.

Be not afraid for fear in your heart compounds to confusion, uncertainties, sorrow, despondency, frustration and anxiety. Instead of fear engage in hope.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait,  I say, on the LORD….Ps  27:13.

Despite any delays you may have seen do not give up and you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

David was pursued by Saul for ten years yet had hope in the Lord and ultimately ascended the throne as king. His secret was unending genuine praise unto his God.

Rekindle hope and praise God lest you become dejected and enter into frustration. Trust God to the end and He will never ever fail you!!Whatever is causing you frustration shall be destroyed on your behalf in Jesus name.

This is the time that God wants to confer unto you His blessings in the midst of the earth and before all. Therefore know the mystery of the joyful sound and you shall be blessed. Who so offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation a right will I she the salvation of God …Ps  50:23.

When in captivity Israel chose to look backward rather than forward and their misery continued. Read Ps 137:1-4. But that was not the case for Paul and Silas. They ordered their conversation aright. They understood the mystery of the joyful sound.

And at midnight Paul and Silas Prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26.

As you take off in praise for who God is and what He has done things will begin to happen for you.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither hall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation…….Hab 3:17-18

Recall the goodness of God (rather than focusing on the evil satan has done you) in hope and let praise be birthed. When hope is stimulated praise automatically flows. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope…..Lam 3:21.

The faithfulness of God is what is responsible for the goodness I our lives therefore cease from murmuring. Thank God for prayers but go on and praise Him for He will do great things. Thanksgiving and praising God for the past is what guaranteed the blessings of the now and future.

Ps 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

BE BLESSED.

When Prayer Fails Turn To Praise

Death had come rearing its ugly head right at the heart of a wedding. The groom had collapsed and died in the vestry whilst signing the certificates. The young ministers ran helter-skelter seeking a solution. After praying every manner of prayer in futility one of them remembers what the man of God had taught them saying when prayer fails turn to praise. As they did so the groom came back to life and the opposition was humiliated at the instance of obedience.

As the word of God comes your way through this teaching, whatever was dead in your life – be it your marriage, health, wayward children, career, finances etc it shall spring back to life in Jesus name.

Whatever the spirit tells you to do through His servant, do it.

We are here to glorify and thank God for His goodness and faithfulness over our lives.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us’ 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul’ 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us a prey to their teeth …Ps 124:1-6

We are where we are in our lives, right from January to date, because God has been faithful. He is the one that has kept us.

‘The Lord shall utter his voice before his army ….’ Hence my harvest time is here remains our prophecy of the month with Gal. 6:8 being our anchor scripture.

Life everlasting is the ultimate of they that follow after GOD. But before life with God in eternity there is all manner of blessings right here on the earth.

There is nothing you genuinely sow unto God that you do not reap back a great harvest. As you sow you shall reap. The time of harvest is yet a time to sow because for a sower who sows in love, all seasons are seasons of harvest. Gen 8:22.

Every seed you sow generates harvest for a lifetime and despite the consistent harvest that a sower enjoys there is specific time where God brings in the fullness of the believer’s harvest. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heave ……Eccl 3:1.

Remember it is not of our time rather that of God. And when that time comes we only need  to understand  and reposition ourselves for the harvest. If you do not know your time then you may end up missing on your harvest. But am glad to announce to you that we are in that time/season of your harvest  for the set time  to favor Zion is here. Thou shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come ….Ps 102:13 and in this season…. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness..Ps 65:11. Therefore we are engaging in the sickle of praise to provoke our harvest.

Wonders Of Praise; Enforcement Of Supernatural Blessings.

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? .. Ex 15:11

What are the wonders that God would do for His people amid-st their praise? Enforcement of divine blessings is one of the wonders.

We are therefore delving into this subject so that you can receive light to set your expectations in line with the word of God in order to see the same fulfilled.

What does praise do?

1. God is moved to destroy the opposition that hinder your blessings.
God is provoked and activated to move on your behalf when you render unto Him genuine praise. A divine standard is then raised against all supernatural opposition for the establishment of your blessings. Joshua had a first hand experience. Read Josh 6:1 onwards.

God made it known unto Joshua that it would not be by might nor by power but by His Spirit. Zech 4:6. As you praise God His might and power will come unto the scene and destroy any opposition. God gave Joshua the specific instructions on how to praise Him through the first 6 days and on the day of manifestation they were to heighten their praise. God came down, subdues their enemy and their harvest released. This is the mystery of praise. So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city …Jos 6:20

They are much more than what you have seen. As you begin to reposition yourself to praise God your harvest shall begin to answer for you.

2. Doors of breakthrough are opened when genuine praise is lifted unto God.  You have sown and have probably not seen your maximum harvest, do not fear  but be glad in your heart as you praise God. Joe 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.  22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: foe he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
For without joy in your heart praise becomes noise unto God. He is never too late. At the due season He ill step in and deliver your package of blessings.

The key in this scripture is be glad and rejoice. When you do this the Lord will give you both the held up and blessings for now. Genuine praise brings the blessings of God in the ‘shaken together and running over dimension’ as seen in Luke 6:38.

Praise is the key to breaking down the barriers and giving you access unto the fullness of the blessings of God.

Without high praise God’s will cannot be fulfilled. Many of us have not been able to experience the manifestation of the blessings herein because we have not located the enemy yet. The enemy of our breakthrough is the enemy of our blessings.
