YOU NEED THE HOLY GHOST

But the Comforter, which s the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you {John 14:26}. I always urge Christian who ask if it's compulsory to receive the Holy Spirit to remenber the words of Jesus in Acts 1:8. He said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father....{Acts 1:4}. If anyone knew the importance and ministry of the Holy Spirit in a man, it was Jesus. When He commanded the appostle not to depart from Jerusalem but wait fot the promise of the Father, He was referring to the Holy Ghost. He didn't want them to go out wothout the anointing the divine enablement, power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He wanted them to be inbued with power from on high so they could live the supernatural life of the kingdom and carry out His ministry. In Acys 19, the Apostle Paul went to ephesus and met certain believers, whom he asked,"...Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" and they replied, "We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost" {Acts 19:2}, He explained the importance and ministered to them and they received the Holy Ghost. Paul, like Jesus, understood the need fro God people to receive the Holy Spirit. There's no authentic Christianity without the Holy Spirit. No one can live the victorious and triumphant life in Christ without the Holy Spirit. So receiving the Holy Spirit is compulsory for every Chriatian. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives you the power to live for the master. Your offerings and service to God are not even acceptable to Him accept they are presented through the Holy Spirit [ROMANS 15:16; Hebrews 9:4}. So if you're born again and are yet to receive the Holy Spirit, it's time to do so. Say, " In the Name of Jesus Christ, I receive the Holy Spirit right now, and I speak in other tongues as He gives me utterance!" Now, go ahead and magnify God in other tongues.

Learn To Fight From Heaven



Learn To Fight From Heaven


They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera [Judges 5:20}.


The verse above is part of a beautiful account in the Bible of a time when the children of Israel were being oppressed by the king of Canaan {Judges 4:2}. Deborah, who was the prophetess and Judge of Israel at the time sent for a man called Barak and prophesied to him that God would use him to deliver Israel {Judges 4:6-7}.


In the ensuing Battle, the Bible says “…The LORD Discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariots,and fled away on his feet” {Judges 4:15}. Though
Sisera didn’t know it, he was fighting a heavenly host, and not just army of Israel; “the stars in their courses fought against Sisera” {Judges 5:20}.

When you’re faced with opposition, don’t fight from this earthly realm-learn to fight from heaven. Let’s imagine there’s someone threatening your job at work because you’re born again. Rather that cry “O, God, why me?” or try to lobby some powerful people to plead for your job, you ought to get home, lock yourself in your room and begin to speak in tongues violently; directing your mind towards the situation.

As you do this, angel will mobilized, and circumstances will be shifted for your sake. Things will be rearranged in your favour. No wonder the Bible says “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” {Romans 8:28}. This is the reason I always say that as a child of God, you can never be disadvantaged. There’s no need for dejection, sadness or despair, for nothing and no one can successful stand against you when you learn to fight from heaven.
When you know how to fight from heaven, you’ll never lean on the arm of flash, for you know that your help comes from the Lord of heaven and earth! He has commanded everything that exist-living and non-living to work together for your good.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for teaching me today how to fight from heaven! I refuse to rely on human ability or might, but rather on the power of the Holy Ghost that’s been made available to me. As I speak in other tongues, my angels are mobilized to move on my behalf and put my adversaries to flight, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.


Psalm 20:7 Zachariah 4:6

HAVE FAITH IN GOD


And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).


When Jesus said in Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God,” the literal connotation of the expression is: “Have the faith of God,” or “Have the God-kind of faith; the supernatural faith that God applies. This implies that you can apply the same principles as God did throughout the scriptures and be guaranteed the same results.

For example, when God told Abraham, “ I have made thee a father of many nations” (Romans 4:17), he was about a hundred years old at the time, and Sarah his wife, who was already ninety years old, apart from being barren had also reached menopause. Hence it wasn’t naturally possible for them to bear children. Yet, God told Abraham, “a father of many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5), and called Sarah “mother of nations” (Genesis 17:16).

This was the faith of God in operation; it calls things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). And true to God’s Word, the Bible says “…Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (Genesis 21:2).

You’ve been called to operate the God-kind of faith. You too can call things that be not as though they were! Through your faith-proclamations you can call forth your desires and bring into existence your favorable expectations, based on the Word of God.

Remember, as He is, so are we in this world (1John 4:17); we can function like God; we can emulate His faith and have His kind of results.

Confession
I know who I am. As Jesus is, so am I in this world. I function by the same principles of faith by which my heavenly Father made the heavens and the earth! Today, by my confessions of faith, I’m framing my world and causing the circumstances of my life to be in sync with God’s perfect will for me. Glory to God!

Further Study:
John 20:21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Spiritual Exercise

Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future (1 Timothy 4:8 GNB).

The most successful people in the world do very little thinking, yet achieve so much. This may come to you as a surprise but it’s the truth. They have learnt to look to their spirits for answers. To be very successful you have to train your spirit, Exercise your spirit. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, your spirit can be an accurate guide because that’s where the light of God is: “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” (Proverbs 20:27).

Your spirit can receive light from God; ideas and thoughts that'll make you creative and excellent in all you do, such that you’ll hardly find yourself in trial-and-error situations. But for your spirit to be an accurate guide, you have to educate him. This kind of eduction is different from what you get from school. School education only helps to get your mind enlightened, but won’t suffice for you to be the best in life. That’s because the highest potential of the human nature isn’t in the mind but in the spirit.

So begin the exercise of educating your spirit with the Word. Do this by studying and meditating on the Word consistently. Spend quality time to listen to God’s Word regularly! That way, you develop your spirit for success and excellence. God’s plan is for you to have your spirit Exercised so He can relate with you at a high level.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word to my spirit today. The entrance of your Word into my spirit grants me the light by which I function in the high levels of glory! As I study and contemplate your Word today, my spirit-man is illuminated to become a sure guide. Therefore, I know I won’t walk in confusion, for I have in me the light of life.


FURTHER STUDY
Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Hebrews: 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

LAUGHTER

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY.
Dearly beloved, we want to share with you practical tips for staying healthy. The 1st tip is laughter


Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like medicine but a broken spirit dries the bones.”
Laughter is very important.
In your life, learn to laugh. Do not surround yourself with an atmosphere of sorrow or sadness. In Nehemiah 8:10, the bible declares that “The joy of the Lord is your strength”.
Joy activates the power of God in your life whilst sorrow activates the devil. You must learn to laugh. Always be full of joy and be happy. Paul in his letter to the Philippians wrote “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice”.Laugh! Laugh. Real laughter. Do not let your life be uptight or too serious. Laugh! A day should not go by without you laughing. Do not take yourself too seriously. Even if you think there is nothing to laugh about, you go ahead and make somebody else laugh. Do not take things too seriously. Do you know that frowning all the time can give you wrinkles on your face whilst anger can cause tension headaches? Instead of being angry and frowning laugh. Laughter should be like a medicine you take everyday. A day should not go by without you laughing. If everyday you moan, complain, whine and gripe saying “nobody loves me, nobody cares for me etc, this would weaken your faith.

Proverbs 12:25; “Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop but a good word makes it glad”. If nobody is cheering you up, you can get a good word for yourself from the scriptures. For example 1 John 3:2 has a good word “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou gayest prosper and be in good health even as thy soul prospereth. This is a really good word. You start by saying, “Hallelujah! I’m prospering, I am in health, this is what God wants for me. I’m living a good life.” Remember (A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick. - The Living Bible). Laughter and a good word will make your heart glad

When you go to the hospital the doctor says take this tablet, three times daily. You take it religiously because you believe that it will help you get well. In the same vein, we want to prescribe a medicine for you. It’s called laughter. Everyday you must laugh. Have a good laugh at least three times a day. This is the word of God; a merry heart is like medicine. Amplified version – A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Laugh, until you are full of laughter. Do not be depressed. Depression is not good and besides it is not of God. When you laugh, there will be strength. Laugh for the joy of the Lord is your strength; it is not an empty scripture. Learn to be happy because you have the victory. Hallelujah

Leadership

A leader in the house of God is the one that take responsibility and can be rely and counted upon. He is the one that have been given the mantle of leadership over the world to win, raise and nurture them in the way of the Lord. He gives direction and speaks the mind of God in every matters or situation. He is a shepherd in the house that protects and care for the sheep.

Spiritual leadership is not a title but a responsibility. If you are a Christian, it means you have been called into this category of leadership and you are now the light of your world, but you need to be raised and trained in things of the Spirit, so you can be able to handle them. Before I explain what I mean by the things of the Spirit, it is very important that we understand the make up of a man.

Man is a Spirit that has a soul but lives in a body, 1 thessalonians 5V23. The body is the physical part of a man that gives us right to live here on earth, but the soul is our mind our reasoning faculty where we function intellectually, while the spirit is non-material part of a man that respond to deity. Our spirit makes contact with divinity. This is the reason why we should be concern about those that are not born-again and win them to Christ because when a man is not born-again He is not recognized in heaven therefore he is at mercy of the devil. Our spiritual responsibility is to make sure we bring the lost souls into the house and disciple them that is the essence of spiritual leadership.


The Word of God is spirit and life and to get acquainted with the things of the spirit, we must get to know and meditate on the Word and grow in it. 1peter 2v2 says, “as new born babes, desires the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow there by.” The Word of God can build us up in righteousness Romans 1v16-17. To be successful and prosper as a Christian we must be able to balance our spiritual needs which are the most important needs of man because human needs are spiritual. Act 28V27.Romance 12v1-2.
