Review Day 5; 30 Days of Christmas; An end to accusations

Review Day 5, 30 Days of Christmas

The power of the devil is primarily in deceit, lies, craftiness and accusations.

That's why in 2 Corinthians 10:5, the Bible says our fight is;
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Notice; we cast down arguments, knowledge and thoughts...

The devil got Adam and Eve to sin by deceit, falsely accusing God and manipulating their thoughts. After they fell, he also began  accusing them of their wrong until they started hiding themselves.

So, after manipulating the person to do wrong, the devil then go ahead and accuse the person of that wrong doing till the person feels condemned.

So, all the devil does is lies, manipulation and accusations

The devil will accuse God to you.
The devil will accuse you to God.
The devil will accuse you to others.
The devil will accuse others to you.
And the devil will accuse you to yourself.

So that you feel condemned to make you hide from God.

So, no matter how many animals they killed in the old testament, the accusations of the enemy was still very loud.

But, to us who believes, to overcome the lies and manipulation, hold on to the truth of God's word. And if you fell or have fallen before, know that God has put an end to all accusations of the devil when Jesus made the exchange. The sacrifice of Jesus is an end to all arguments. The requirements of divine justice was met by the highest standard and also surpassed. Hold on to the exchange. There is therefore now no condemnation. In Colossians 2:14-15 KJV Bible puts it to rest thus;
"blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"

Now you can boldly declare and say; "I am the righteousness of God in Christ". You can say; "I am a saint not a sinner". And you can receive everything that comes with right standing with God. Glory to God.

We continue today in day 6. 9pm.

God bless you.

Review Day 4; 30 Days of Christmas - the Exchange.

Review: Day 4 - 30 Days of Christmas - The exchange!

The animal took the place of Adam and Eve but it was only temporary because the life of the animal is inferior to human life. Hence, the life of the animal could only buy Adam and Eve some time. They had to continue the practice of renewal from time to time.

The children continued the practice of renewal also. For Bible said in Genesis 4:3-4 NKJV

[3] And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering... Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering...

The practice continued to Noah. Noah live hundreds of years before the law of Moses, yet, He already knew the difference between clean and unclean animals. And when he came out from the ark, the first thing he did was sacrificed clean animals. The animals took their places.

So everytime the Bible said someone built an altar to God, know that something was sacrificed on that altar.

When we got to Genesis 12, we see the man Abraham was a man of altars and sacrifices.

So much so, when God asked Him to sacrifice Isaac, Isaac said; "where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

Isaac too at the tender age already knew the drill.

And when the Father tied him instead of a lamb, Isaac did not struggle. That was the example of what the Father and Jesus did on the cross.

Jesus said, not my will but thy.

The practice continued to the days of Moses when it became law. It was codified. 

However, it existed before the law.

Don't forget that the life of the animal is lesser in value to that of human but then the life of God is superior and an over payment for all humanity.

The blood of Jesus is a one time settlement over and beyond the price for the whole of humanity.

Receive the exchange!

The exchange has been perfected. 

It's been done.

It is finished.

Today, we take it another step further. Join us for Day 5. 9pm.

God bless you.

My steps are ordered by the Lord. I am forever late for tragedy. I declare peace within my walls and prosperity in my home in Jesus name, amen!

Review Day 3, 30 days of Christmas

Review: Day 3 of 30 Days of Christmas

After the fall of man in Genesis 3 God could have just folded the earth and trashed it completely. Adam didn't attempt to apologize or repent and Eve also pointed fingers. Yet, it was right in the middle of their sin and tension of accusations that God demonstrated His love for mankind by activating the redemption plan. A number of things happened but we will highlight two.

First, was the prophetic Words and second was the prophetic act of God.

For the prophetic word, God said in Genesis 3:15 KJV;

"and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

Although, everyone is born of a woman, the seed that produce the child is really not from the woman. Like planting in agriculture. The earth working with other factors have everything a seed needs to grow, but it doesn't have the seed. So is the woman. She has the womb that can nature a seed to life but doesn't have the seed, the seed comes from the man.

But Bible said, "her seed". This one doesn't need the male. It is going to come from her. The prophet Isaiah picked it up and also declared "a virgin shall conceive..." (Isaiah 7:14).

Then in Luke 1, the Angel appeared to Mary and by the end of their conversation, The Word has become flesh in the womb of Mary. This seed of the woman is Jesus. His heel was bruised by His sufferings but He crushed the head of the enemy permanently by His death, burial and glorious resurrection.

The second thing is the prophetic act when man fell. God showed them an example of how the redemption will happen.

God had told Adam, the day you eat, you will die. When they ate, death appeared on the earth and its mission must be accomplished as establish by the sovereign decree of God. But instead of Adam and Eve. An animal took their place. There was a switch. Life for life.

This is where we'll pick up from today. 9pm is the time. On WhatsApp. Link in bio.

See you soon. God bless you.

That Your Hand, oh Lord, will be with me

"And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying... that Your hand would be with me... So God granted him what he requested."
I Chronicles 4:10 NKJV

*Prayer
Father, let Your Hand be with me and grant me supernatural advantage in all my endeavors in Jesus name, amen!

*iDeclare the Decree
The Hand of the Lord is upon me for good. I receive speed in life. I receive one year worth of achievement in the next one month. I receive one month in one day. I declare seven fold restoration of time, money and resources lost. The Lord leads me in the way I should go, I have direction and favour. The Lord goes ahead of me and makes every crooked path straight, levels every mountain and fills every valley. I go conquering and to conquer. I rise above the tides because I seated with the Lord far above all. I shine ever brighter. I am unstoppable. The Lord equip me with strength and grace. I have all that I need in Jesus name, amen!

Review: Day 2 of 30 Days of Christmas

Review: Day 2 of 30 Days of Christmas.

Bible stated that Jesus explained Himself from "Moses and the prophets". This term as used here and in similar way simply refers to what we call the Old Testament.

So, Jesus was able to give evidence of Himself using only the Bible. Hence, our sole reference in this exercise is also the Bible. It also means that in our lives, anything that is inconsistent with the Bible should be discarded quickly.

Then back in Genesis Chapter one, we see the Trinity at work. God the Father was there and the Spirit of God was moving. Then God send forth HIS WORD. and the Word got to work and began making things happen. When God called light out of darkness, and commanded things that were not there to be, God was not speaking for communication purpose. It was a command. But guess what, God is also the only one there at the beginning... So it was His Word that He spoke that went fourth to create everything.

In Genesis 2; we see the vivid description of the doings of the Word. The Word is the personality of the Trinity who folded His sleeves, touched down to dust and made everything.

Colossians 1:16 AMPC says;

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.

See also John1:1-3, Heb1:1-3. 1Cor1:24. Proverbs8:22-27.

Then in Chapter three of Genesis, man disobeyed God and it was in that fallen state that the redemption plan was immediately activated.

This is where we'll pick up from today for Day 3. 

See you by 9pm. Blessings.

Lord increase my influence, relevance and impact

"And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying... enlarge my territory... So God granted him what he requested." 1 Chronicles 4:10 NKJV

*Prayer

Father, please enlarge my territory and increase me on every side in Jesus name, amen!

*iDeclare the Decree

I declare that the Lord enlarge my territory; therefore my capacity is increased, my influence extends to the nations of the world, I am globally relevant and referred. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. I expand in business and career. I declare multiple streams of income. I am able to carry on greater projects and deliver in record time. I have access to cutting edge technology and methodology that places me ahead. I grow in strength and grace. I advance upward and forward continuously in Jesus name, amen!

Day 1, 30 days of Christmas 2024; recap

Day 1, We established the Biblical basis for the 30DC. It flows from one of the major things Jesus did after His resurrection when he explained to His disciples what was said in the scriptures concerning Him. Luke 24:27,47. Acts 1:3.

We also established that the Bible is the basis of all the sessions and that in the explanations, we will employ the literal, contextual and the prophetic approach to explain the Word.

Also, one of the verse of the Bible that sums up Christianity is in 2Corinthians 13:14: "The GRACE of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and the LOVE of GOD, and the COMMUNION of the HOLY SPIRIT be with you all. Amen.

However, throughout the ages, JESUS has been and is the face of the Godhead. He is the express image of the Father.

So, in essence, Christianity is about the grace, the love and the communion of Jesus with humanity.

He was before time. He was there in Genesis 1:1. I mean to say He created everything. John 1:1-3. and this is where we will pick up from in today's session; Jesus in all the scripture beginning from Genesis1:1.

Join us for Day 2 today. 9pm. God bless you. #pastorjosh #30DaysofChristmas
