Health Food Devotional December 31, 2017 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. (Phil. 2:10) The Name of Jesus belongs to us as believers. We have a right to use the Name of Jesus. The right to use Jesus' Name is a blessing given to the Church, to every child of God.  We have a fourfold right to use the Name. First, we're born into the family of God, and the Name belongs to the family.  Second, we're baptized into the Name. And being baptized into the Name, we're baptized into Christ Himself.  Third, the Name was conferred upon us by Jesus. He gave us the power of authority.  And fourth, we're commissioned as ambassadors to go and herald the Name of Jesus among the nations. We're representatives of Christ. Now I can't find in the Bible where it says we need to have any special faith to use the Name of Jesus, because the Name already belongs to us. You don't n...

Faith Food Devotional December 31, 2017 "For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God" (John 16:27). Nothing can be stronger or more comforting than the fact that the Father Himself knows you, loves you, and longs to bless you! In fact, John 17:23 says that God loves us as He loved Jesus. What a staggering thought! Yet it is true! Jesus said it! God the Father is your Father! He cares for you. He is interested in you individually - not just as a group, or as a body of believers, or as a church. God is interested in each of His children, and He loves each one of us with the same love. Get acquainted with your Father through His Word. It is in His Word that you will learn about your Heavenly Father, about His love, His nature, how He cares for you, how He loves you. He is everything the Word says He is. And He will do everything the Word says He will do! Confession:  I love Jesus, and I believe He came out from G...

MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 2018 PSALM 73:1-28 KEY VERSE: "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee" (Psalm 73:25). A Scottish preacher, Andrew Bonar, wrote in his diary: "This day 20 years ago I preached for the first time as an ordained minister. It is amazing that the Lord has spared me and used me at all. I have no reason to wonder that He used others far more than He used me. Yet envy is my hurt... Lord, take away this envy from me!" The psalmist narrated in the text how he nearly abandoned his faith in God when he considered the prosperity of the wicked. He thought that if God was angry with the wicked, why do they prosper and appear to live well? The prosperity and progress of the godless who are not suffering any visible or immediate consequences for their actions affected his determination and consecration to follow the Lord. This continued until he went into the sanctuary and received enlightenment that the p...

BIBLE READING: - Mt 15: 1 – 9 MESSAGE I thank God that you and I made it into the New Year in sound health; it is not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Many have died and many are lying down in the hospital helplessly; not that we are in any way better than them but it is by the mercies of the Lord. In view of ...

We know how much God loves us because  we have felt his love . . .  —1 John 4:16 (TLB) Never question God’s great love, for it is as unchangeable a part of God as is His  holiness . Were it not for the love of God, none of us would ever have a chance in the future life. But God is love! And His love for us is everlasting. The promises of God’s love and forgiveness are as real, as sure, as positive, as human words can make them. But, like describing the ocean, its total beauty cannot be understood until it is actually seen. It is the same with God’s love. Until you actually possess true peace with God, no one can describe its wonders to you. Prayer for the day Yes, almighty God, I have felt the consolation of Your love

OPEN HEAVENS 2017 Sunday 31st December 2017 Memorise:   “He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.”  Proverbs 10:5 Read:   Genesis 3:7-10 (KJV)  3:7  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 3:8  And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 3:9  And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 3:10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2017 PSALM 114:1-8 KEY VERSE: "The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs" (Psalm 114:3,4). Once, while a man lay in bed reading a book, the Lord decided to teach him some sobering lessons. Momentarily, sleep took over, his book and pen dropped off. About a minute or so later, he woke up to discover that the book and pen he firmly held had broken loose from his grip. It dawned on him that at death or end of a race, there would also be an inevitable finishing line. Every activity would cease. No secular race is endless. One would have to let go of whatever he would be holding or doing. So it is with the fixed seasons of time. A year begins and ends. It was the same with biblical Israel. There was a period of bondage that appeared to be endless. But it did end on an eminent note for liberated Israel as Psalm 114 recounts. The elements saw the children of Jacob marching away f...

SUNDAY DECEMBER 31, 2017 Words of Life Daily Devotional TRADITION Vs GOD’S COMMANDMENT MEMORY VERSE: - Mt 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? BIBLE READING: - Mt 15: 1 – 9 MESSAGE Tradition is part of culture that is passed from person to person or generation to generation differing in detail from family to family. Any cultural heritage that violates the commandment of God must be discarded for God and his word had been before any culture and man that creates such culture. If it is your family way of life to dress like man when you are woman or the other way round known as effeminacy; then you need to have the spirit of God of God that bears witness with sincere believers that they are children of God. I once counsel a sister to stop the attachment and jerry coils, but she was not convinced on the spot; but continues with her worldly way of dressing until one day she condemned by the spirit of ...

Health Food Devotional December 29, 2017 Whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Phil. 4:8) I remember a woman who was bedfast at the age of thirty-six. She had terminal cancer and was living with her mother so that her mother could take care of her.  She was brought up in the Pentecostal church so she knew about divine healing. People all over the country were praying for her. She was on her deathbed, and doctors said she could die just any minute.  She was brought to one of my meetings. She listened to my healing testimony, and I laid hands on her.  The very next day, this woman was perfectly all right! Instead of an ambulance coming to take her body away, her husband came to her mother's and took her back home. She was able to do housework and tend to her two small children.  This is what she did. She said to her mother, "Well, that man who gave his testimony didn't lie. He's a pre...

Faith Food Devotional December 29, 2017 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matt. 7:11). Would you, as a parent, plan, purpose, and will for your children to go through life poverty-stricken, sick, downtrodden, downcast, down-and-out, with their nose to the grindstone? No! Assuredly not! My younger brother had a difficult time getting his education. Our father left when this brother was only six months old. He graduated from high school during the Depression by working the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at a local cotton mill and then going to school immediately after work. In time, this brother married, had a son, and became a very successful businessman. He said to me - and I guess this has been a driving force in my brother's life - "I'd rather let my boy die now than to have it like I had it. But I'm going to see to it that he d...

These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God . . .  —John 20:31 God caused the  Bible  to be written for the express purpose of revealing to us God’s plan for His redemption. God caused the Book to be written that He might make His everlasting laws clear to His children, and that they might have His great wisdom to guide them, and His great love to comfort them as they make their way through life. For without the Bible this world would indeed be a dark and frightening place, without signpost or beacon. The Bible easily qualifies as the only book in which God’s revelation is contained. There are many bibles of different religions; there is the Mohammedan Koran, the Buddhist Canon of Sacred Scripture, the Zoroastrian Zend-Avesta, and the Brahman Veda . . . They all begin with some flashes of true light, and end in utter darkness. Even the most casual observer soon discovers that the Bible is radically different. It is the only Boo...

Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 5:4  Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5:5  Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 5:6  Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
