DEFILEMENT DESTROYED
MEMORY VERSE: Mk 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
BIBLE READING: - Mark 7: 1 – 23
MESSAGE

Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are issues of life [Prov 4: 23]. Defiling thoughts come from the heart of man. Before embarking on any evil and sinful acts, you would have meditated on it from your heart for things you do come from therein. That is the engine house, processing unit of your actions. God said the thought of the heart of man is evil continually [Gen 6: 5].
These kinds of defiling thoughts are enjoyed by those that have not known the Lord, those who have not given their lives to Him or those that have fake experience of salvation.
At salvation you are born of God and all things about you become new, you are renewed in your inner man and you thought and imaginations become new. You no longer enjoy defiling thoughts because a measure of God’s spirit is now in you. At this time defiling thoughts no longer have any grip on you for the scriptures says for sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law but under grace [Rom 6:14].
Jesus had destroyed the works of the devil and this is why anybody that has been translated into the kingdom of God through spiritual birth can have dominion over his thought by the grace of God.
Whenever devil throws a defiling thought at you as a child of God, the spirit of God in you rises up against it and it cannot stand. There are a lot of people walking naked around us today; they refuse to cover things that should be covered, a mere looking at them can provoke a defiling thought in you, but a genuine child of God cannot nurse such thoughts; because the spirit or nature of God in them will not allow it and they cannot enjoy looking or meditating on it.
Examine yourself in relation to this explanation and if you see yourself enjoying such defiling thoughts, you need to go back to the cross for cleansing and purging. God had sent Christ to die for our deliverance from these evil imaginations and impure thoughts. You need to go to Christ in faith to ask for your salvation and deliverance; allow him to be your Lord, allow him to take lead, just yield and follow and you will be free.
Confession of the Day
I am under the dispensation of grace; sin, sickness, self and Satan shall not have dominion over me.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
