in the Name of Jesus
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8

I was terrified by this verse when I was growing up. The thought of the devil walking around looking for prey was not an idea that gave me great comfort. I grew up in a country where people believe in the power of evil because they witness first hand some of his destruction. As I mentioned many times before, faith comes by hearing and fear comes also by hearing. I heard so much of the devastating work of devil, that I become afraid of its power even though I was raised in a Christian home. All around me outside the home, the voice of evil sounded louder than the voice of God. I knew that God was the Almighty but I also knew that the devil had some power as well. I am glad to report that now I know that "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" John 4:4.
Right after I got baptized, I was about ten years old and I heard a man of God pray. I was very familiar with praying in the name of Jesus, but that man’s prayer was different. He never once asked God to do anything. He was ordering the spirit of evil, the spirit of disease to come out in Jesus name. I though that was a pretty cool thing. It was the first time I heard such powerful prayer. I didn't know until then that I had the power to order the devil out of my life. It took a few more years for me to fully understand my authority as a child of God but it was a major and wonderful revelation. We can resist the devil and when we do, he has to flee as reported in James 4:7
Christ is seated at the right hand of the father and we're right there with Him. We died with Him and rose with Him. Our victory is guaranteed. It is a done deal. Christ's resurrection is the source of the authority. Your battles are already won. Your diseases are already healed and your financial challenges resolved, and your broken relationships repaired. Praise God!
Exercise your authority and claim the victory in Jesus name. You have the ability through Christ to remain undefeated by putting on the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation along with the sword of the Holy Spirit and no power of the enemy can ever hurt you, because you will be prepared to win every attack, rather emotional, physical or financial.You have authority in the name of Jesus.
Praise the Lord!

God Wants to Bless You Abundantly
Your Father has all that You Need
"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you n
eed, you will abound in every good work".
2 Corinthians 9:8

God repeats His Old Testament promise to bountifully bless the cheerful giver (Malachi 3:8-10). Our father got all that we need and He wants to give it all to us in abundance when we give cheerfully and when we remain faithful in tithing. For some unclear reason believers do not like to give but enjoy receiving from the Lord. Scripture tell us clearly that our tithes open the flood gate of heaven.
We all want to be blessed beyond measure, but not all are generous with our giving. People say they don't know what to give or how much to give. Well, start being faithful with your tithes and then give according to your heart. God established the principle of Seed and Harvest”; it didn't say how generous your giving should be but it says "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" Luke 6:38. If I were you I would start giving generously if you want to receive abundantly. The word of God is the will of God that is why it is important to spend time in the word. There's life and blessing in every word of God. "The word I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" John 6:63. The will of God is in His Word, the Bible.
People tell me all the time that they are not getting enough from God and I always reply that the choice is yours. If you are not satisfied with what you are reaping, check on the seed you are sowing. Remember to sow lots of good seed cheerfully and don't forget your tithes and your harvest WILL HAVE TO COME. Seed and Harvest has been God's way of doing things since creation, I can't stress this enough. "While the earth remains, Seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22
Friend, our heavenly Father is a great God. He is a more than enough God. It is His will that you should have all that you want, good health, prosperity, peace, love and joy. Come to Him, live according to His will as revealed in His word, the Bible, and start reaping the advantages of living in His will. Take your rightful place as His loving child. Let Him be your father.
Be encouraged, and be blessed in Jesus name.
Praise the Lord!
