Thanks Be to God for healing Blessed, my grand daughter

Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.

Let the words of our lips and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight oh Lord.

Your Word is tested and tried.

Forever oh Lord Your Word is settled in heaven and works in our loves.

Your Word has revived Blessed and given her strength.

You sent Your Word and healed her.

You forgave all her sins and healed all her disease.


Because Your loving kindness is better than life, our lips shall praise You always.

We will lift up our hands in Your name oh Lord.

You have done great things for us; that is why we are so glad!


Thank You Holy Spirit for revealing the truth to us. Thank you for being our mentor.

You have taught us to declare: "Jesus took Blessed’s infirmity and bore her sicknesses. Therefore, we refuse to allow sickness to dominate her body.

The life of God flows in her, bringing complete health to every fiber of her body. By Jesus’ stripes Blessed was healed and made whole.

Every part of her body functions in the perfection that God created it to function.

Her airs ways and her heart are perfect. Her nerves, ligaments, tendons, muscles, all function as God created them to function.

Her bone marrow and every cell in her body works perfectly.

What the enemy had planned for evil God has turned into good. No weapon formed against Blessed will prosper, we forbid any malfunction in her body, and every tongue which rises against her in judgment we shall condemn. This is the heritage of the children of the Lord, for our righteousness is from Him.

The Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in her infusing His life through her veins, giving her perfect health."

I pray for a special anointing over Blessed. She is a mighty woman of God. She is God's special child, prosperous spirit, soul and body. She is a blessing to her family and will bless nations. Amen

Thank You loving Father for our Lord Jesus Who heals us! Thank You for Your Holy Spirit Who guides and quickens us. We will praise you all the days of our lives!

I want you to know that I am the happiest jajja alive! I love you all dearly.

What an honor to be in His presence!

We are invited to the throne of El-Elyon, the Highest Sovereign of the heavens and the earth. How exciting!
This morning as I worshipped my Father, I was overwhelmed by the privilege He has given us, inviting us to His throne. We can turn to Him any time and if we are wise, we can be in His presence all the time.
I started recalling the many times I have tried to speak to somebody in authority; head teacher, pastor, employer, or any other person of authority. Many times I failed to get the appointment and the few times I managed, their time was very limited.

I am sure you have seen people trying to talk to celebrities. Can you imagine the time they spend in cues waiting for an autograph? They pay for the book after which they spend more time waiting for the signature of a mere man. But when it comes to our loving Father, we have no time.

What would be your response to a personal invitation to dinner in the White House, or Birmingham Palace? I remember after the recent presidential debate, the two candidates mingled with the audience. I could observed how people were scrambling to shake hands with them and some to get pictures taken with them. These were just candidates, not even presidents yet!

Just think about it! We are invited to a daily banquet with El-Elyon, the Highest Sovereign of the heavens and the earth, our loving Father, and His Son our Lord Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit, all present! My, my! What a feast! But do we attend? Most of time we are so busy with worry, fear, vengeance, cares of this world, and we forget that in His presence, there is peace, joy, prosperity, rest and victory!
When I remembered that this morning, praised God even more. I started singing and dancing. All the cares I was carrying I handed over to Him! I am free, I am blessed, I am a child of God and I can enjoy His presence all the time.

John 14:23 "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

Does God speak to us directly ?

Yes, God speaks to us all the time. God is always communicating but many times we do not hear, or we hear but do not listen depending on what occupies our minds.

If you are born again, your spirit is made anew. That is; you are a new creation and through your spirit you are able to hear and respond to the voice of God. God also speaks to us through His written Word, and through other people. He gave us the Holy Spirit, the very spirit of God, who dwells in us to teach us, guide us and give us revelation of His Word and His will. Listening and reading the Word of God will keep our minds on the things of God and make it easy for us to recognize His voice and respond to the Holy Spirit.
Unfortunately, the cares of the world and the demands of the flesh tend to crowd our minds and instead of responding to God we end up listening to the news, the devil’s suggestions or the needs of the flesh. How disappointing!
In John 14:23 Jesus said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

What does it profit you to be a scholar of the scriptures without the Holy Spirit?

Matthew 22:24-28 "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"

In verse 29 Jesus exposed the ignorance of these Sadducees. However, His answer to their question stresses the importance of scripture. “Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” NIV

There are two lessons to learn from this rebuke. Being a student of the Bible without knowing the Son Jesus leaves you
• ignorant of the written Word of God and
• robs you of the knowledge of God’s power.
Further more, if you don't know scriptures, how is the Holy Spirit going to work in your life?
My conclusion is this: If your confidence is in the scriptures without Jesus Christ, you are doomed. Worse still, if your confidence is in the scriptures, without the Holy Spirit even if you claim to know about Jesus you may be lost.

Jesus is the living Word and the Bible is the written Word of God.

Yesterday as I was studying I came across an article discussing the Word of God. The main theme of this writer was that “Jesus is the Word of God.” 100% TRUE: However he goes on to argue that the Bible is not the Word of God and those who study the Bible are not being taught by God but by human beings. He continues to argue that when we study the Bible we cannot hear from God because we are only listening to the Bible.

I was a bit disturbed by this extreme. Although I agree with him that studying the Bible without acknowledging Jesus and without letting the Holy Spirit teach us can be fruitless, we cannot deny the fact that the Bible is the written Word of God and without it we are at a great disadvantage.

It is true as he recalls that the disciples managed to spread the gospel without the Bible. It is also true that in those days there were few sects in Christianity than there are today. However, he continues his argument that this is due to studying the Bible. My question is ‘how can you tell how many sects there would be today if they continued to spread the gospel without the Bible? Would they have increased or decreased? Who can tell?’ My guess is they would have increased regardless.

Yes, Jesus is the living Word of God. He said “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63.
In John 14:6 He says; “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” No argument about that!

However, the Bible, the written Word of God, was inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by men and women of God. They were under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
I know it is frustrating when people study the Bible and use it as the Pharisees and Scribes used the Law and abused it. Jesus was opposed to that type of practice. They studied the law and tried to load it over the innocent and the disadvantaged. That was wrong then and it is wrong now. Studying the Bible for intellectual purposes or for selfish motives is not what it was meant for, still the sins of a few should not change the importance of the Bible.

The Bible is the written Word of God. It was written by men and women of God inspired by the Spirit of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." NKJ
Do not be discouraged from using the very weapon Jesus has put in your hands. Use it to enhance your life in the Lord. Let the Holy Spirit reveal to you the hidden secrets wrapped in it. He will make the words of the Bible become alive in your life. He will reveal Jesus and all that is of His to you.
Hallelujah!

God’s Word is living substance

The Bible is alive it speaks to me; it has feet it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold on me.” Martin Luther

As I was studying Psalm 119, I realized how little emphasis I have been putting on the Word. Looking at my daily events, I give the Word about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day. However, after reading or listening to the Word, I go about my business until something comes up. That is when I remember to meditate or recall the Word. Yet David tells us that every moment of life the Word of God should be in and on our hearts, on our mouths and in our actions. Psalm 119:11 tells us that if God’s word is carved or hidden in our hearts, we will be more able to resist the temptations of the devil and consquently the selfish demands.
Hebrew 4:"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

When we learn to think, speak, pray in line with God’s Word, we release the ability of God to work in our lives. Our lives are thus governed by God’s spiritual laws which are more powerful than the laws of nature that rule this world. Our lives are thus led and directed by the Holy Spirit who enables us fulfill both spiritual and natural laws and enjoy divine living.
We are so blessed to have the Spirit of the living God dwelling in us and revealing to us every detail and secret of Jesus and the written Word of God.

The fear of God is the way to victory

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.” Oswald Chambers

I remember during Idi Amin’s reign in Uganda, his thugs from the army came to my parents home. They were on one of their regular killing raids. They rounded up every body who had not fled into hiding and they started harassing them. They said they had come for two things: money and weapons. My mom told them she had neither and they got really angry and out of control, threatening them with their guns.

They demanded for the weapons. “We know your children are abroad. We know they send money and arms to you. We also know that you support the rebels.”
Meanwhile my youngest sister who was 15, was crying and begging mom, “If you have any money please give it to them.”
Then my mom lifted up her Bible which she had been holding in her hand all this time and said; “This is the only weapon I know and it is the only weapon I have. God is our Protector.” She said it with so much boldness that they were shocked. It seemed as if it paralyzed their plans. They stopped harassing them and continued with the search of the house and then they left with nothing and hurting nobody. That was a miracle. I really believe it was the grace and protection of God. Because my mom feared God, she could stand on His Word and face the enemy without fear.

This reminds of how David, a mere youth, faced and defeated Goliath when even the king of Israel was afraid of him.
In one the worst persecution, Daniel stood, unmoved by either man or lion because he feared God! Joseph always came out in victory because he feared God and followed His leading. All these people prove to us that when we fear God we fear nothing else.

The fear of the God is the beginning of all wisdom. It is the only way to victory.
