GOD IS NOT MYSTERIOUS

Some people do not understand when we talk of knowing the will of God. They say, “Well, I hope if it is the will of God I will get the job”.

They always think that God’s will is against them. Some people do not like to say what they want to do because they feel God may just not like it. But if you ask them what God likes, they will still be unable to say what it is. They have turned God into a mysterious being.

Someone said, “God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform”. God is not mysterious. To be mysterious means to be a strange “dude” that cannot be understood and that is not what God is. He showed us His will by giving us His word: He’s told us what He did, what He is doing and what He is going to do, so we can understand him. He is neither strange nor mysterious.

Yes, there was a mystery, but Jesus came to solve the mystery.

Colossians 1:22-27

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith ‘grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; Even the MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this MYSTERY among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Paul, speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost said the mystery is one which was hidden in ages past but now has been revealed to His saints, which is, ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory.’ He has now revealed that which was a mystery! And whatever is revealed ceases to be mysterious.

In the Old Testament, God said,

‘My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts’ (Isaiah 55:8-9).

That was for the Old Testament people, who did not have the eternal life of Almighty God, abiding in their spirits. His ways were high above theirs as the heavens are above the earth, but now that we have become partakers of His divine nature, we have been raised up and made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). That is where we live now!

Glory to God!

LIVE A LIFE OF GRACE

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17)

The word receive in the verse above is translated from the Greek word, “lambano,” which means to “take” or “catch” something as yours; to get hold of something; to seize it and make it yours.

Abundance of grace, on the other hand, means overflowing grace; unlimited overflowing grace. This means it’s up to you to take as much grace as you want.

This is what the Apostle Paul meant when he told Timothy “…Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:1). That means take advantage of the grace. Don’t take a little of it; ‘lambano’ as much as you require.

Receive grace for your reign in life. To reign is to exercise control, influence and authority. It means to rule and be in charge; in essence, live as a king.

This overflowing grace only works for those who receive it. It’s your set time to reign, so, take advantage of the grace of God that has been lavishly poured out upon all men (Titus 2:11); it’s yours for the taking! Hallelujah!

HOW TO TAP INTO YOUR SUPERNATURAL SOURCE

Every creature of God must remain connected to and nourished by its source for it to remain alive and well. In the book of Genesis, God said:

“… Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life” (Genesis 1:20)

He spoke to the water to produce fish and other aquatic creatures. That’s why the fish in the sea have to remain in the water to survive, because that’s their source. If you were to take a fish out of your aquarium and place it on a beautifully ornamented table, it would die, as it’s cut off from its source. In the same way, God said:

“Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so” (Genesis 1:24).

So, all the animals that live on land actually came from the earth and that’s why they must remain on land in order to stay alive. No land animal can successfully live in the water permanently because the land is its source. Man is a spirit and his spirit came from God, even though his physical body came from the ground. Any man who is cut off from God, his source, is actually in death.

That’s why Jesus said that such a one must be born again (John 3:7). If you’re born again, you’re born by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23), therefore you also must remain connected to your source, which is the Word of God, which itself is God (John 1:1).

Not staying in the Word is to starve your spirit of the material it needs to survive, grow and function normally. Make a quality decision to remain connected to the Word of God, which is the nourishment you need for a healthy, prosperous, successful and victorious life! Read and study it everyday, meditate on it and keep speaking it.

HEAL THE SICK

“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:1-2).

God has given us the authority in the Name of Jesus to issue decrees with daring audacity and have them established. That’s why we can speak and act in boldness because of who we are in Christ. For example, when you study the Scriptures, you’d realize that God never asked us to pray to Him to heal the sick; rather, He says we should to heal the sick.

In Matthew 10:8, Luke 9:2, Luke 10:9, Jesus charged the disciples to heal the sick; He didn’t ask them to pray to Him or to the Father to heal the sick. In Mark 16:17-18 He said:

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Jesus made it clear that we have been given the authority in His Name to heal the sick.

Peter, addressing the lame man at the gate of the temple called Beautiful said, “…Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6).

He was conscious of the authority he had and knew that though he couldn't give the man money at that time, he could ‘give’ him healing in the Name of Jesus.

When you pray for the sick, make bold decrees! Command the devils responsible for the sickness to come out and that the sick be healed in the Name of Jesus.

GROW UNTO MATURITY

“And if ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).

As one who is born again, you’re Abraham’s seed, and therefore, all of God’s blessings belong to you (Galatians 3:29).

But to effectively appropriate these blessings to your life, your words must align with the Word of God, and the realities of the new creation.

For example, when a Christian says “O Lord, heal me; I just caught the flu and I am so sick”; you can immediately locate him as a babe in the things of the Spirit. The spiritually mature would rather speak the wisdom of God. Rather than talk sickness, he’d speak health and life. He’d say:

“The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in me therefore I cannot be sick; I’m vitalized by the power of God – spirit, soul and body!”

There’s a clear difference.

The babe in Christ seeks to be healed; but the spiritually mature knows he cannot be sick, because he is the righteousness of God in Christ and therefore speaks accordingly.

James 3:2 AMP says:

“For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.”

Spiritual maturity is measured by your words; therefore, it’s important that you grow in the Word unto maturity, and learn to communicate rightly

YOU CAN’T BE A FOOL FOR FAITH

“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God” (Romans 4:19-20)

Picture Abraham, a ninety nine year old man, with a wife, Sarah, who was past the age of menopause, going about telling everyone in town they’re expecting to have a child. To the spiritually unlearned, they must have appeared silly and senile.

But Abraham disregarded all contrary situations and was strong in faith! He had seen in the spirit the son that was promised, and that picture was more real than his old frail body and that of his wife. He maintained his confession and sure enough, Isaac was born.

This proves you can never be a fool for faith! Whenever you take steps of faith in God and His eternal Word, your actions will certainly pay off. Faith is the title-deed of unseen realities (Hebrews 11:1). It is the proof that what you hoped to have is yours now.

When acting in faith, you no longer try to convince yourself or convince God; rather, you know in your spirit that you have it made–you’ve got what the Word says is yours.

YOUR SET TIME TO DO GREAT THINGS

''And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing' (Genesis 12:2).

From the scripture above, we notice that it was God who spoke to Abraham and said, “I will make you great”; it wasn't Abraham who cried out, “O Lord, make me great!” It was God’s choice to make him great, and from that point on, the man did great things. He defeated five kings and their armies with three hundred servants trained in his house (Genesis 14).
