OPENING OF THE SEALS

Image
OPENING OF THE SEALS MEMORY VERSE: - Revelation 5:1 - "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals." There are seals that are used to lock up people's lives and destinies. When this is done, it's victims struggle without head way in life. The reason for many people's hardship in life is as a result of satanic seals placed upon the work of their hands and sealing up their glory from being seen. God has already written your whole life in the book of heaven. Psalm 139:16 says, "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuity were fashioned, when as yet there were none of them" Now, the psalmist did not say it's going to be written some day..... But it were written.... It's already been written long ago, before any of them was formed or existed. Furthermore, in Hebrews 10:7 the scripture says "T

GOD LOVES YOU DEEPLY

GOD LOVES YOU DEEPLY MEMORY VERSE: - 1 John 4:16 - "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." God loves and cares for you deeply. He loves you with a love that is beyond your comprehension. The primary attribute of God is that He is “love.” 1 John 4:8 tells us that, "God is love.” And love is the motivating factor of everything He does for us. He loved you when you rejected Him, He loved you when you did not want Him, He loved you when you forsook Him. And now that you are in Him, He continue to love you despite all your shortcomings. Indeed God's love is unquantifiable.   Sometimes, when one is going through challenging times, they tend to think that God doesn't love nor care about them. Beloved, God loves and cares about you regardless of what you are going through and He will take care of things for you. Therefore, you need to learn to trust God in every thing and in every area of

DRIVEN BY VISION

AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational DRIVEN BY VISION MEMORY VERSE: - Luke 14:28 - " For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?" We have come into another new year and many do not have any plans for the year, they have no expectations, they are just taking each day as it comes. As such, they are visionless, goalless, and unprepared for the year.  You can't function without a vision, vision gives you a drive, it makes you to have something to work with, it gives you the determination to keep striving until purpose is achieved. When vision is created, it is use as a marketing tool to reach your destination or achievement. Vision is the faculty or state of being able to see ahead what you want. It is the power of future and the perception of things to achieve. Vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. While to be driven by vision is to make decisions a

WALK THE FAITH

Image
  WALK THE FAITH MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 5:7 - "For we walk by faith, not by sight." You cannot claim to have faith and not walk the faith. Every faith requires actions. Its time you stop procrastinating, and start taking risk, its high time you do the unusual. In Matthew 14:25-30 , we have the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter doing same by stepping out in faith. “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. When Jesus asked Peter to come to him in the sea, he stepped out in faith, thus he had faith and he walked the faith and in spite of the waves of storms around him from the sea, yet he took the risk not minding the situation. In life journey, there are waves of situations that threatens our lives but if we are willing to take a walk of faith, focusing our eyes on Jesus instead of the situations and be ready to take risk we will walk on top of the situations, trampling them under our feet. Look away from the s

REST THROUGH FAITH 4

REST THROUGH FAITH 4 MEMORY VERSE: - Exodus 14:13 - "Moses said to the people,Then “Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again" (AMP). The Lord warned against Fear. Fear is opposite of faith and will stand as a resistance to your entering into rest. He also admonished us to be undismayed. That is, don't be discouraged, don't be distressed, and don't worry over anything nor feel sad about any unpleasant circumstance. Such things comes as a result of fear. But instead of giving in to discouragement and destress, we should have faith in our heavenly Father who alone has the ability to help us and we should always remember that He is in control over the affairs of our lives and he will never abandon us. Listen, we are never alone, the Father and His Son Jesus Christ are ever with us through the

REST THROUGH FAITH

  REST THROUGH FAITH MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 3:18-19 - "And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." A lot of people are praying and doing all manner of fasting but in Unbelief. Their hearts do not connect with what their lips are saying. Listen, unbelief separates you from God. Hebrews 3:12 tells us, "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God." There's no way anyone who has an evil heart of unbelieve will enter into the full scoop of God's divine plans for them and it's only when one is functioning in God's plans that they can enjoy His rest. One of the key factor that brought you into the kingdom is faith and it is by the same faith that you enter into rest. Assuredly, the naturally minded Christian is a faithless Christian and cannot enter into Christ rest. Just as the an

REST THROUGH FAITH 3 MEMORY VERSE: - Romans 4:20-21 - "No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God and he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he promised" No one who allows things around them to have hold in their life can enter into rest. Faith does not see what's on ground but sees the unseen made real. Whenever one is looking at the unpleasant things around they will waver and become weak. They will neglect or even forget God's promises concerning them, thus they will live in fear and defeat. Our father of faith ' Abraham ' did not waver..... That's, he didn't allow the physical situation to shake his faith. Even though what's on ground shows impossibility to actualizing God's promise, yet he was not shaken, but believed. And for that reason, the Word of God became real in his life and family, he got everything he ever desired in life and lived a well fulfilled life.  W

REST THROUGH FAITH 2 MEMORY VERSE: - 1John 5:4 - "…..And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”. 1 John 5:4. One among the fundamentals of victory of the believer is the weapon of faith, for in every victory there is a battle and in every battle there must be faith in action thus we experience victory and rest through faith.  In our text John clearly states that the believer overcomes the world through Faith. There can be no victory outside faith for it is through faith that we conquer, we subdue, and daily live victoriously by exercising our faith.  Faith is our anchor, our strength, our drive. Faith is a product of God’s consciousness in us. It is the response of the heart to God's promises. Faith is knowing who God really is; and that He will certainly do what he says He will do no matter how everything around you is showing hopelessness.  Faith is a force that keeps you going even when everything around you is proving impossible to reach your goal

MANASSEH

Image
  MANASSEH MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 41:51 - "And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house". When rest comes, it silences many years of toiling because of so much abundance it brings and it gives you a unique peace and tranquility. Truly, when God brings in His abundance, you will forget your years of toiling. Joseph went through so much struggle and at a point, there was no sign that the dream God gave him was going to materialize. All around him was hopelessness and confusion but God's grace prevailed for him and brought him into rest. Wherefore, Joseph called his first born son, 'Manasseh'.... "For God, hath made me forget all my toiling". Understand this child of God, that it doesn't matter what things you are going through today, no matter how everything may seem dark and gloomy, no matter the struggles you are facing, one thing is certain, God will bring

REST IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES

Image
REST IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES MEMORY VERSE: - Psalms 23:5 - "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:...." 'REST' is when God blesses you, take you to higher levels, increase you and enlarge your boarders before your enemies.... That means, the enemies tried all their best to harm you or stop you but they failed. Wherefore, in spite of all they did or are doing, you are still waxing strong and moving forward. Also, 'REST' is when God is fighting your battles for you and you are holding your peace. Exodus 14:14. ... "The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” As you trust Him to fight for you, he takes over and you become an observer of events of the war while the Lord takes care of it for you.  He is the captain of the host, the one who never looses any battle, the mighty man in battle. Psalm 18:29 : "For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall." Truly, It h

REST IN CHRIST 5

REST IN CHRIST 5 MEMORY VERSE: - Romans 10:10 - "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." By the entrance of the new year, a new seas has been birthed. Now, what are your expectations in this new season, and what kind of words are you speaking to align yourself with it. If you do not align your words with your expectations, you will not get the kind of results you anticipated to see and you may not be able to enter into Christ rest. As a child of God the words you speak are not ordinary or empty words but are carrying power. It is spiritual and has life essentials in it. It's exactly what Jesus said it is in John 6:63, "The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life" Certainly, there's no empty words, your words carry power, it is the driver of your life. The scripture in Proverbs 18:21 tells us that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who lov

REST IN CHRIST 4 MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 5:28-29 - "When Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old, he became the father of a son. He named him Noah, saying, “This one shall bring us rest and comfort from our work and from the [dreadful] toil of our hands because of the ground which the Lord cursed” (AMP). For anyone to enjoy REST, what they do and the words they speak matters. Every word we speak must be right and positive in order for it to produce positive results and cause us to enjoy rest. Our text made us to understand that the generation of old went through difficult times, they knew what it means to toil. They had experienced working without headway. They had been through difficulties in business wherefore, they hungered for REST . They were tired of struggles of life that didn't allow them to live the victorious life and thus Lamech expressed his deepest heart desire in the name he gave his son...... 'NOAH' By calling him Noah, he prophesied the future

REST IN CHRIST 3

  REST IN CHRIST 3 MEMORY VERSE: - Matthew 11:28 - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Now, Jesus calls out to all that are burdened and are wearied to come into His rest. This invitation to the realm of rest is the key that silences all struggles of life. It's an invitation to stop carrying heavy burdens of life all by yourself but to hand them over to Him and in exchange, you get REST. He is saying stop doing business with human wisdom that fails, come to me and receive Divine wisdom that will set you apart and put you ahead of your contemporaries. Listen, burdens are heavy weight that will not allow you to move forward nor rise. Burdens wearies you, frustrates you and keep you stagnated. Jesus wants you to rise and be moving upward in life thus the call to hand over your burdens to him. Understand that anytime you're doing things by your own strength, it drains you. It wearies you and becomes a burden to you. Now, to b

DAILY BENEFITS

Image
AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational DAILY BENEFITS MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 68:19 - "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation." Our text does not say that our heavenly Father gives us benefits monthly or annually, or when the need arises, but rightly said, 'Daily'. That is to say, every day of our lives we are given lots and lots of benefits. We simply have to believe and key into what's ours. Because our heavenly Father daily load us with benefits, Jesus in Matthew 6:11 taught us about asking the father for daily benefits..... "Give us this day our daily bread". So the next time you pray “Give us this day our daily bread”, think about all the benefits God has already promised to provide to you. Therefore, according to God's divine order, we are slated for daily benefits. No day is without a benefit stored up for you and I. These benefits include His lovingkindness, His goodness, His provision, His protection, His he

REST IN CHRIST 2

  REST IN CHRIST 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 4:10 - "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his." Outside of rest is frustration, toiling, struggling and making so much efforts with little or no results. To struggle is to put in so much efforts to do something, it is to Make one’s way with difficulty. The scripture in Eccl. 10:10. says, "If the axe is blunt, and one doesn't sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength" This is what struggling does, it makes one to operate with so much difficulty. They put in so much effort to achieve little thing and sometimes no achievement at all. Such was the case of Peter and his colleagues; they toiled all night yet, they had nothing. "And Simon answering said unto Him, “Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken" (Luke 5:5). Now, with what Peter said, it is obvious that they put in so much effort, they put in their best, they were committed to

REST IN CHRIST 1

  REST IN CHRIST 1 MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 4:10 - "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his." God wants us to come to the place of rest in Christ, He wants us to live daily in a struggle free life. A place where we stop doing things with our human senses and allow His Holy Spirit to guide us and help us. When we are talking about rest, we are not talking about physical rest as in relaxing, sleeping or going on holidays. We also not saying one shouldn't work or do something in life. We do not encourage laziness, in fact , the scripture is against laziness and it encourages that all should work in order to eat (See 1 Thess. 4:11). So the rest we are talking about is that of putting our complete trust in God, believing and depending on Him to help us succeed in our work and achieve in life. It is a rest that brings an end to struggles of life, it is that rest which causes one to work with ease, and to function in grac
