God Confirms the Word

December 23
. . . In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.—MARK 16:17
God Confirms the Word
We need to know what our rights are. We need to know what
belongs to us. Healing is our Gospel right. It is our redemptive
right. It is our family right, because we’re in the family of God.
Our right to healing, which was given to us in God’s plan of
redemption, has been invested in the authority of Jesus’ Name.
Jesus said, “. . . IN MY NAME shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues” (Mark 16:17).
God watches over His Word to perform it (Jer. 1:12). Mark16:20 says, “And they went forth, and preached every where,
the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen.”
As we go forth to preach and teach, is the Lord with us?
Someone might say, “Yes, He’s working with us to save people.”
Well, thank God He is. But that’s not what the Bible says. It says
that God works with us confirming the Word with signs
following. What are the signs that follow? They are the signs
Jesus was talking about in Mark chapter
16. They include casting out devils in His Name, speaking with new tongues, and
taking up serpents (if you are accidentally bitten by a snake, it
won’t hurt you). There is also another meaning of “taking up serpents.” We see an example of this in Luke chapter 10 where we can read that Jesus appointed seventy disciples (see verses 1through 20). Devils and demons were subject to them through the Name of Jesus. And devils and demons are subject to us in that Name.
Confession:
The signs Jesus talked about in Mark 16 follow me! I can speak with new tongues. I can exercise authority over devils
and demons. And I can lay hands on the sick, and they’ll recover

STERLING LEADERSHIP

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 the

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

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
