Greatest Story Ever Told!

Be Born Again
“Now there was a Pharisee, named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit… You must be born again.” – John 3:1-7 Salvation is described as being born again which is a huge transformative process. But today, the term is used flippantly and reduced to a word used to describe a person as being moral instead of having righteous standards. The difference is that righteousness is a gift and an expression of God’s love while morality comes through determination. Salvation is more about being than doing.
Jesus was trying to make Nicodemus and the rest of the world understand that being born again is an experience, not to become more moral, but of a rebirth of the human spirit so that it can be alive and connected to God. We are born humans but the path to becoming like Christ means to be borne by the One who gave birth to Christ. Make up your mind to be born again and walk in the fullness of it! Have a blessed week!
Confession: I am born of the Spirit and I have the gift of righteousness. I receive grace to work out my salvation with knowledge and understanding.

Understand God’s Love
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” – John 3:16 -18 One of the greatest achievements for any human life is the capacity to receive and give love. Some people receive love but cannot give it, due to past hurts suffered over time. But a wholesome human being is one with the capacity to receive and give love. Salvation is the deepest expression of God’s love to everyone. Understanding this means understanding that your journey on earth is a preparation for something greater – which is saving souls and bringing people around you into the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy the love of God this season and share it! Have a wonderful week!
Confession: I have the capacity to understand God’s love, to embrace it, to manifest it and to give it freely in Jesus’ name.

Power To Live Right
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Saviour], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].” – 2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP New birth means receiving the righteous nature of God when you said yes to Jesus. Righteousness is the gift of a new nature from God. And it requires that you live in a deeper consciousness of mind and of God.
And when you embrace the nature of God, you receive His marvellous help to break the bondage of sin over your life. Walk in the power to live right and do right and have a beautiful weekend.Confession: I am free of all mental, emotional and spiritual bondages because I am empowered by the glory of God to live a righteous life.

Life in the Overflow
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 NKJV The reason Jesus came was for you. He came so that you may have life and have it in the overflowing measure. If you were the only one left on earth, He would still die for you just so that your future is assured. Put your hope in Christ regardless of what goes on around you. Start envisioning a life of overflow.
Confession: I walk in the overflow. I lay hold of God’s promises and I receive more than I ask or think.

Transiting the Wilderness
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV Just like the children of Israel, God sometimes takes us through the wilderness, not because we have sinned, but to prepare us for the life He destined for us. The wilderness for Israel was not supposed to be their permanent residence but a transiting phase to lead them into Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Do you feel that you are transitioning through life’s wilderness at the moment? Are you feeling tempted to give up, or doubt God’s word? Don’t lose focus and prolong your wilderness phase. Focus on the big picture God planted in your heart and follow His path! Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning, you are almost there… Press on! Have a wonderful day.
Confession: God is preparing me for something bigger. My wilderness experience is coming to end in Jesus name.

He’s More Than Enough
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20 NIV You may have received several great assignments from God this year already and you’re wondering how to achieve them. Well, you will achieve them and even exceed your own expectations if you believe that God will do more than these seemingly great assignments. God is all you need to have a great year! When you involve Him in all you do, you will thrive because He won’t let you go through it like you are just surviving. Unbelief can limit your ability to enjoy His limitless power.
Jesus couldn’t perform many miracles at Nazareth, a town where He was well known, just because they lacked faith and did not believe. Open your mind to the One that is more than enough for you in Jesus name! Enjoy a blessed day!
Confession: I know a God who is more-than-enough and therefore, I will not limit Him.

The Kingdom of God
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17 NIV One of the characters of God’s kingdom is righteousness. It is a character that resides in you. When it comes to dealing with sin and temptation as a child of God, you must never see yourself as a slave to it because you are the righteousness of God! The Holy Spirit is also available to help you break off those bad habits and negative traits.
You are free! The day you gave your life to Christ, you became a new creation and the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! You carry the Kingdom of God inside of you to enjoy a righteous, peaceful and joyful life! Have a blessed week ahead!
Confession – I walk in dominion over sin and death. I carry the kingdom of God inside of me therefore, I am free from bad habits, addictions and negativity.

Enforce Your Authority
“Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.” Romans 6:14 NLT One of the things Jesus did on the cross for you was to stand against anything militating against your joy, your peace and your walk with God. He already dealt with sickness, lack, negative emotions, anxiety and worry, so they have no legal right to harass you anymore. This is why you must enforce the authority given to you by Christ to ensure peace, victory and abundance in yourlife!
Exercise your authority and walk in cooperation with God so that you can lead a victorious life. Have a restful weekend!
Confession: I enforce the peace and joy of God in every area of my life.
