πTHE LAW OF THE DOUBLE PORTION
βββββββββββββββ
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his (Deuteronomy 21:17).
ββββββββββ
Many misunderstand what the Bible refers to as the principle or law of the double portion. According to this principle, letβs say a man had six sons to whom he was required to apportion his inheritance. He was required to divide his inheritance into seven equal parts or portions. Each son would receive one portion, while the extra or seventh portion was given to the firstborn.
That extra portion to the firstborn means he got the βdouble portion.β He got double what everyone else got; itβs not about receiving twice as much as what the father had. The double portion is the right of the firstborn, a mark of inheritance, a symbol of leadership and heirship in the family. The one who received the double portion became the heir and the one recognized to carry on the fatherβs authority and name.
Genesis 48:5-6 shows that Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob, was entitled to the double portion. But he lost it due to his transgression. The inheritance was transferred to Joseph, who received it through his sons Ephraim and Manasseh. This is why there are two tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, named after Joseph, instead of only one tribe.
The same principle is what Elisha referred to when he said to Elijah, β...I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon meβ (2 Kings 2:9). He wasnβt asking for twice the βanointingβ Elijah had; how is that even possible? Rather, he was requesting to inherit Elijahβs position as the leading prophet, as the βfirstbornβ as it were, among the school of prophets.
When Elijah was taken up by a chariot of fire, Elisha saw it happen. The mantle of Elijah fell, and Elisha picked it up. Returning to the Jordan, he asked, βWhere is the Lord God of Elijah?β and struck the waters. The Jordan parted just as it had for Elijah. When the sons of the prophets saw this, they bowed before Elisha and declared, β...The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha...β (2 Kings 2:15). They recognised that the same spirit, the same prophetic office and authority was now upon Elisha.
Thatβs the true meaning of the double portion: inheriting the same authority and position, not necessarily asking for more power or βdouble anointingβ; thereβs no such thing. You already have the Spirit living in you in His fullness. Hallelujah!

Dear Father, thank you for granting me understanding through your Word. I walk in the knowledge of my inheritance in Christ, exercising authority and dominion as your heir. Your Word enlightens my path and causes me to function in wisdom and truth, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.

βοΈLIVE ABOVE SATANβS INFLUENCE
βββββββββββββββ
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve (Luke 22:3).
ββββββββββ
Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples of the Lord Jesus. He walked with the Master, heard His teachings, and witnessed His miracles. Yet, Judas had a weakness; he loved to take what didnβt belong to him, and that opened the door for Satan to take control of his heart.
The Bible tells us Judas was the treasurer for Jesusβ ministry and often stole money from the bag (John 12:6). What he didnβt realise was that Satan exploits a personβs weaknesses, the very sins they love, to control and destroy them. Judas thought he was being clever, but he was actually being led toward his own downfall.
The Scriptures reveal that Judas went to the leaders of the Jews and offered to betray the Master. When he led the soldiers to Jesus and betrayed Him with a kiss, Jesus looked at him and said, β...Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?β (Luke 22:48 NKJV). Even then, Judas felt no remorse.
It wasnβt until he saw Jesus condemned to death that the horror of what he had done truly struck him. Filled with despair, Judas went out and hanged himself. He was lost forever. Thatβs how Satan works. He blinds his victims with deception and desire until they no longer understand themselves. He drives them to commit acts they canβt explain and choices they canβt undo.
Judas never intended to become a murderer, but sin is a path with no safe distance. Think about how many people today, like Judas, are led astray by greed, anger, or lust! Many murderers, robbers and violent men have families, parents, or children they love. Yet they commit the unthinkable and later ask themselves, βWhy did I do that?β
People can be driven by unseen influences when they yield to wrong desires. Thatβs why itβs important to guard your heart. Never allow greed, bitterness, lust, or anger to find a place in you. Fill your heart with the Word and yield yourself to the Holy Spirit. Thatβs how to keep Satan out and live above his influence, walking in righteousness and truth.

πADMINISTRATORS OF THE CHRIST ECONOMY
βββββββββββββββ
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven⦠(Hebrews 12:22-23).
ββββββββββ
Think about the country or nation where you live; who plans its economy? You have the executive branch, Congress or Parliament, as the case may be. They decide what happens. The Bible lets us know that we belong to a higher assembly called the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn.
That means weβre part of the divine body that determines what happens in the heavenly economy, the economy of Christ. Each of us has our name registered in heaven. Weβre not outsiders or spectators; weβre participants in the administration of divine resources on earth. So, what are you doing about the Christ economy, which is God's divine system of supply and resource management intended to bring salvation, blessing, and transformation to the world?
The Christ economy was designed for the salvation and prosperity of nations, and weβre its dispensers. Stop thinking like someone waiting for financial miracles; use the Name of Jesus. When you speak, resources align, doors open, and supply flows. In the Christ economy, abundance never stops; it flows ceaselessly. Thatβs where you live: in superabundance and overflowing grace, where everything you require is continually supplied for you to administrate for Kingdom growth and expansion. Hallelujah!

π€THE POOR IN SPIRIT
βββββββββββββββ
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3).
ββββββββββ
When the Lord Jesus said, βBlessed are the poor in spirit,β He wasnβt referring to those who lack material possessions. Rather, He meant those who, in their spirits, have given up everything to God. These are people who don't hold anything back in their service of the Lord. You may see them surrounded by abundance, yet in their hearts, theyβve counted those things as nothing. They can give and spend anything for the sake of the Gospel.
The Apostle Paul expressed this in Philippians 3:8 when he said, βYea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord....β You must come to that point in your life where the only thing that truly matters is the purpose of Christ, His eternal Kingdom, and the advancement of the Gospel of His salvation.
People may see you with beautiful possessions but those things donβt have dominion over you. The Spirit of God can tell you to give everything as an offering, and thereβll be no hesitation or argument. Thatβs what it means to be poor in spirit; youβve relinquished ownership of everything to God. You have a heart thatβs completely yielded to Him in love. Your satisfaction isnβt in the fleeting pleasures of this world but in Christ alone.
Notice what the Lord said about those who live this way; theyβre the ones to whom the Kingdom of heaven belongs. The βkingdom of heavenβ is the divine order of Christβs dominion established in the earth. Itβs the life and authority of heaven manifested here and now to bless and transform menβs lives. The poor in spirit dispense the glories of the Kingdom and live out heavenβs realities on earth. Hallelujah!

β€οΈA HEART THAT BEATS WITH COMPASSION
βββββββββββββββ
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4).
ββββββββββ
In the opening scripture, the Lord Jesus wasnβt referring to people mourning out of sorrow; rather, He was speaking prophetically, using the language of the prophets. In the Old Testament, when prophets mourned, it wasnβt over personal grief. They mourned because of the state of Godβs people, for example, their disobedience, captivity, or spiritual decline. They cried out in intercession, burdened for the souls of men and the honour of Godβs Name.
So, when the Lord Jesus said, βBlessed are they that mourn,β He was referring to those whose hearts are moved by the things that move God. This kind of mourning is born of love and compassion. Itβs not sorrow for self but godly sorrow for others, an intercessory response to the spiritual condition of people and nations.
For example, you hear that someone has stopped going to church, or that a Christian has grown cold in their faith, and then your heart aches, not in judgment but in prayer. You weep before the Lord, crying out for their restoration. And thanks be unto God! The Lord assures that those who mourn like this, those who weep in prayer for others, shall be comforted.
The comfort comes when the answers manifest, when you see that person restored, when you see their lives changed and their situations turned around. Intercession moves the heart of God. Thereβre times in prayer when words fail and tears speak; itβs part of the deep travail for souls. Thereβre moments when the burden is so strong that all you can let out are deep sighs and profuse tears of intercession (Romans 8:26).
And as you weep, the power of the Spirit goes into operation. I have experienced that many times. I have files with names of people Iβve prayed for through the years, some of whom today are ministers of the Gospel and leaders in different churches. Some had bad attitudes; some were inconsistent; others faced struggles in their business or faith. I wrote their names down and interceded for them with tears.
But today, seeing their transformation, I rejoice; Iβm comforted. When your heart beats deeply with compassion for others, you align yourself with the very heart of God. Your intercession becomes His channel of comfort and change in the world. So, let your heart be tender. Let compassion move you to prayer.
π P R A Y E R
ββββββββββββ
Dear Father, thank you for giving me a heart that beats with your compassion to always intercede with passion and love for the lost, the weak, and the straying. Through my prayers, lives are changed, restored, and your Kingdom advances mightily. Thank you for the comfort and joy of answered prayer, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.

πTHE WORD IN YOU
βββββββββββββββ
...receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls (James 1:21).
ββββββββββ
The Word of God is anointed; it possesses the inherent ability to produce in you what it talks about. For example, when you meditate on the Word on protection and imbibe that message of divine preservation, you no longer need to pray for protection. The Word becomes your protector. The Bible declares, β..his truth shall be thy shield and bucklerβ (Psalm 91:4).
That's what the Word does; it becomes in you what it talks about. When you hear and receive the Word on prosperity, it will manifest prosperity in your life. The same applies to the Word concerning health; it produces divine health. Proverbs 4:20-22 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
The Word is life and medicine to your flesh but only if you keep it in your heart and in your mouth, and live by it. There are some who have been sick for a long time and arenβt getting better because they havenβt kept the Word in their hearts and in their mouths.
Keeping the Word in your heart and in your mouth is meditation; itβll get rid of any health issue in your body. Itβll cleanse your blood vessels and get rid of the tumour. The key to divine health and whatever else you may desire in life is the Word in you; itβll produce what it talks about.
π P R A Y E R
ββββββββββββ
Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word thatβs at work in me. Your Word produces health, strength, wisdom, protection and prosperity in me. I live in the reality of all that your Word says about me. Thank you for the blessing of knowing your Word and living accordingly, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.

The Word is life and medicine to your flesh but only if you keep it in your heart and in your mouth, and live by it. There are some who have been sick for a long time and arenβt getting better because they havenβt kept the Word in their hearts and in their mouths.
Keeping the Word in your heart and in your mouth is meditation; itβll get rid of any health issue in your body. Itβll cleanse your blood vessels and get rid of the tumour. The key to divine health and whatever else you may desire in life is the Word in you; itβll produce what it talks about.

Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word thatβs at work in me. Your Word produces health, strength, wisdom, protection and prosperity in me. I live in the reality of all that your Word says about me. Thank you for the blessing of knowing your Word and living accordingly, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.

π―CONTINUAL FELLOWSHIP WITH THE SPIRIT
βββββββββββββββ
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:6).
ββββββββββ
Oftentimes, people struggle to have true fellowship with the Holy Spirit because theyβre constantly living from their minds. Theyβre children of the flesh, occupied with earthly consciousness, filled with worldly considerations, and driven by natural contemplations. Yet, the Bible says, β...to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.β
If thereβs anything that should be constant about you, itβs living in perpetual fellowship with the Holy Spirit, recognising His person, talking with Him, and walking with Him daily. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says, βThe grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.β
Talk to the Lord always. Donβt pray only when you need something; instead, maintain that ongoing communion of love between your spirit and His. That fellowship is what He desires. Keep it alive. 1 Corinthians 1:9 says, βGod is O

Even today, through His Word and the Holy Spirit, Heβs still talking. So, learn to listen and talk back to Him in true fellowship. Thatβs life in the Spirit. Hallelujah!

BUILD YOURSELF WITH THE WORD
βββββββββββββββ
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he... (Proverbs 23:7).
ββββββββββ
Take a moment to think about the kind of person you are, the thoughts you think, the way you act and respond. If someone else were exactly like you and given to you as a friend, would you like that person? Some might say yes; others might hesitate. But whether yes or no, the point is clear: youβre what you have made yourself to be.
Every thought going through your mind right now is a reflection of what you have become. Over the years, what you have consistently listened to, read, and watched has steadily moulded your thinking, your values, and ultimately, who you have become. You reason the way you do because of what you have made out of yourself. Youβre your own handiwork.
The Scripture shows that life is from within. Who you are outwardly is only the expression of who youβve become inwardly. Thatβs why God gives us His Word, to reshape our minds and fill our spirits with divine thoughts. When you fill your heart with Godβs Word, youβll unveil His glory, wisdom and excellence.
Thatβs why the Bible says, βLet the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lordβ (Colossians 3:16). Then Acts 20:32 says, βAnd now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.β

πUSE THE RIGHT LANGUAGE
βββββββββββββββ
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37).
ββββββββββ
Words are βthingsβ; they carry spiritual substance. Oftentimes, Godβs people are robbed of greater blessings because they speak the wrong words. Your language is the expression of your understanding; it reflects what you know. And sadly, many have developed a language of limitation because theyβve been wrongly influenced by their environment.
As a child of God, you must speak right. This is beyond mere positive thinking or motivational communication. It means speaking truth, and the Word of God is truth (John 17:17). When you speak the right words of Godβs truths long enough, theyβll communicate a mindset to your spirit and produce results that are consistent with that mindset.
Itβs not merely the words themselves that make or mar; itβs the language they form, the system of thought they represent. Thatβs why you must speak in accordance with the revelation knowledge of Godβs Word. For example, some would say, βOh, when we started worshipping in church, the presence of God came down upon us.β It sounds spiritual, but itβs incorrect.
The presence of God doesnβt come down from heaven when you worship; you carry His presence. Youβre His temple, and God lives in you permanently. He doesnβt come and go. When we come together in worship, His presence is manifested, not imported. Similarly, donβt say, βWe enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.β That was Davidβs revelation under the old covenant. Today, weβre in His presence; we live there. You donβt enter and exit Godβs presence; you dwell there permanently. Hallelujah!
Train yourself to use words consistent with your divine nature. Align your language with the New Testament revelation of who you are in Christ, and youβd experience ever-increasing glory and consistent victory and progress in life.

πͺπ½PRACTISE WHO YOU ARE
βββββββββββββββ
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14).
ββββββββββ
When you were a child, you didnβt immediately start walking the moment you were born. Your bones and muscles hadnβt yet developed. No one would have tried to make you stand on your tiny limbs that couldnβt yet carry your weight. But as you grew stronger, your parents began to help you sit up, and soon enough, you could sit on your own.
Before long, you started creeping, and eventually could stand unaided. Then you began learning to walk. And even when you stumbled and fell while attempting to walk, you were aided and supported until you could walk perfectly, and today you walk without even thinking about it.
Thatβs also how spiritual growth works. Donβt say, βIf I were truly a child of God, how come sometimes things donβt work out as I desire? Your identity isnβt in question; youβre a child of God, alright. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16). Therefore, itβs about your training, not your identity.
Youβve got to be trained in righteousness and in the ways of the Kingdom. You must exercise yourself in the Word. You must practice the Word. The Christian life is one of practise. Weβre Word practitioners. You practice love. You practice faith. You practice your divine authority. You practice joy, peace, and dominion until you live them effortlessly.
Practising the Word is doing the Word: James 1:22-25, βBut be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.β So, keep training yourself. Keep putting the Word to work. Keep practising who you are, and as a result, walking in victory, prosperity, health and wisdom will be as natural to you as breathing. Glory to God!

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18). Without that intimate, revelation knowledge or βepignosisβ of Christ, your grace could be stagnant or only go from little grace to a little more grace. But as you study and meditate on the Word to know the Lord more, the increase is sudden.
Thatβs when you realize that your abilities have increased. Your influence, prosperity and greatness keep spreading. Itβs part of the reasons He tells us to meditate on the Scriptures: βMeditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to allβ (1 Timothy 4:15).
The Word "appear" is from the Greek βPhanerosβ, and it means to spread abroad, to be distinctly known to all. So, when the grace of God is multiplied in your life, apart from the increased capacity or ability to do more, your prosperity, influence, greatness, impact, and the extent of your dominion are far-reaching and unmistakably known to all.

π―YOU CAN HAVE GRACE MANY TIMES MORE
βββββββββββββββ
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all (Psalm 34:19).
ββββββββββ
Sometimes, in life, thereβre trials, temptations and difficult days. There can be persecutions, hardships and crises that come unexpectedly. But the Bible says, βNay, in all these things we are more than conquerorsβ¦β (Romans 8:37). You already conquered before the trouble came; therefore, refuse to be ruffled. Maintain your faith-posture and attitude of dominion.
The Lord Jesus said in John 16:33, ββ¦In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.β When He overcame the world, you were in Him, which means youβve overcome the world, the adversities therein and the adversary himself. So, today, any challenge you face, βcame, to pass.β
The Lord Jesus said to those who came to arrest Him, "...this is your hour, and the power of darkness" (Luke 22:53). But that moment was temporary; it came, to pass. Afterwards, the crucified Son of God was out of the grave, and now He reigns forever, leading us in a perpetual victory parade: 2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG, β... In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory paradeβ¦.β Hallelujah!
When tough days come, donβt question yourself or ask, "Did I make a mistake? Why is this happening to me?" Challenges are part of life, but theyβre not a factor because you always win. The circumstances of your life donβt define your true character or identity in Christ. The Bible says, βYea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutionβ (2 Timothy 3:12).
But in James 1:2, God tells us how to respond; He says, βMy brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.β Why? Itβs because no persecution, test, trial or challenging situation can overwhelm you. You were born a victor. The Bible says, βWhen thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon theeβ (Isaiah 43:2).
So, remain confident that no matter what happens, all things work together for your good. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Be certain that victory is yours always in every situation.

π―YOU CAN HAVE GRACE MANY TIMES MORE
βββββββββββββββ
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all (Psalm 34:19).
ββββββββββ
Sometimes, in life, thereβre trials, temptations and difficult days. There can be persecutions, hardships and crises that come unexpectedly. But the Bible says, βNay, in all these things we are more than conquerorsβ¦β (Romans 8:37). You already conquered before the trouble came; therefore, refuse to be ruffled. Maintain your faith-posture and attitude of dominion.
The Lord Jesus said in John 16:33, ββ¦In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.β When He overcame the world, you were in Him, which means youβve overcome the world, the adversities therein and the adversary himself. So, today, any challenge you face, βcame, to pass.β
The Lord Jesus said to those who came to arrest Him, "...this is your hour, and the power of darkness" (Luke 22:53). But that moment was temporary; it came, to pass. Afterwards, the crucified Son of God was out of the grave, and now He reigns forever, leading us in a perpetual victory parade: 2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG, β... In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory paradeβ¦.β Hallelujah!
When tough days come, donβt question yourself or ask, "Did I make a mistake? Why is this happening to me?" Challenges are part of life, but theyβre not a factor because you always win. The circumstances of your life donβt define your true character or identity in Christ. The Bible says, βYea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutionβ (2 Timothy 3:12).
But in James 1:2, God tells us how to respond; He says, βMy brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.β Why? Itβs because no persecution, test, trial or challenging situation can overwhelm you. You were born a victor. The Bible says, βWhen thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon theeβ (Isaiah 43:2).
So, remain confident that no matter what happens, all things work together for your good. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Be certain that victory is yours always in every situation.

β‘οΈBORN INTO DIVINITY
βββββββββββββββ
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
ββββββββββ
When you were born again, what the Bible says is that you were baptized into Christ: βKnow ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?β (Romans 6:3). Galatians 3:27 says, βFor as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.β
So, being born again, you were born into God, into divinity, by the Word, through the Spirit of God. You were actually received into Christ. Thatβs why the Bible says, β...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature...β (2 Corinthians 5:17); heβs born anew with the God-life and God-nature.
Your human life was not merged with eternal life; it was replaced by it. This is what the Bible teaches. And if you donβt know it, youβll never live in the reality of the divine life. Your knowledge of it activates the experience. Thatβs why in 1 John 5:13, the Spirit, through the Apostle John, tells us, βThese things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal lifeβ¦.β
God wants you to know that you have His life in you. That life doesnβt cohabit with sickness, disease, or infirmities; it destroys them. The divine life in you is incorruptible, indestructible and impregnable to failure and death. But if you donβt know it, youβd live as a mere man, suffering the same afflictions as those without Christ.
Thatβs why you must understand what it truly means to be born again. Itβs to have the pulsating life of Christ in you. Itβs to be translated or transferred from mortality into immortality, from humanity into divinity. Blessed be God!

THE KEY IS WALKING IN LOVE
βββββββββββββββ
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22).
ββββββββββ
Someone once wrote me a letter wanting to know how to overcome arrogance with God's help. He had been perceived as arrogant and genuinely wanted to dismiss that trait from his life and personality. That was a wonderful desire. Simply wanting to change was his first step toward victory over it.
But hereβs what you must do when you desire a change in any area of your life: act on the Word. Be a doer of the Word as read in our opening scripture. Respond to Godβs Word and live accordingly. So, in dealing with arrogance, for example, you act on the Word. Ephesians 5:1-2: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in loveβ¦." The key to overcoming arrogance is walking in love.
Then the Bible says in Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." The fruit of the Spirit refers to the natural product of the recreated human spirit, the born-again spirit. These qualities are part of your innate nature and love is one of them.
Galatians 5:19-21 lists the works of the flesh, and arrogance is of the flesh. Choose to walk in humility, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. These qualities are already within your spirit. Cultivate and develop them by walking in love. Every so often, declare, βI will walk in love.β Make that decision, and youβll experience the glory of God in your life in a remarkable way, because love is His nature and the way of victory.

πTHE OUTWORKING OF THE WORD IN YOU
βββββββββββββββ
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 (Colossians 1:27)
ββββββββββ
True Christianity is the outworking of the Word in you. When you talk, itβs the Word; when you act, itβs the Word. The Christian, essentially, is the expression or the image of the Word, such that every step you take and all the things you do are the outworkings of the Word of God.
Thatβs what the Lord Jesus was when He walked the earth; He was the unveiling of the Word: βAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among usβ¦β (John 1:14). He was the manifestation of God, the express image of His person. Thus, your life is the revelation of the Word because youβve been born of the same Word: βBeing born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for everβ (1 Peter 1:23).
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 says that youβve been manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ: βForasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.β The epistle of Christ is the Word of Christ.
No wonder weβre the effulgence of His glory, the manifestation of His righteousness. When you show up, Christ shows up. As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). You make manifest the savour of His knowledge, wisdom, grace and power in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14). Blessed Be God! Youβre Christ alive in your world today. He manifests His love, power, compassion, and grace to the world through you. Have this consciousness.

βGODβS ALWAYS WATCHING
βββββββββββββββ
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).
ββββββββββ
When you study the Scriptures carefully, youβll notice a striking pattern with certain individuals who lost their place with God and why it happened. Take Cain, the firstborn of Adam, as an example; he had hatred in his heart against his brother Abel.
The Bible tells us that Abelβs works were righteous, but Cainβs werenβt. Instead of correcting himself, Cain allowed hatred to consume him, and he murdered his brother. He lost his place because of the evil in his heart. Also, consider Esau; for just one meal, he sold his birthright.
The Bible describes Esau as profane because spiritual things meant nothing to him. He treated the birthright casually; to him, it was intangible, so he thought it could be tossed aside in exchange for food. But God looks at the heart; He saw that Esau was profane. He wasnβt profane because he sold his birthright; he sold his birthright because he was profane.
Later on, when it was time to receive the blessing, which was tied to the birthright, he lost it despite seeking it with tears (read Hebrews 12:16-17). The lesson here is very clear: you may deceive men, but you canβt deceive God. He weighs the motives of the heart.
Therefore, position your heart rightly because your blessing, your promotion, your place in Godβs plan are tied to how you revere or hallow spiritual realities. Donβt trade your divine inheritance for worldly pursuits.

πWE DONβT CLAP TO PRAISE GOD
βββββββββββββββ
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2).
ββββββββββ
Itβs important to understand the spirituality of ministry and the place of music and expressions of worship in the house of God. Clapping, for instance, which many are very used to in church, is neither praise nor worship. While clapping is not wrong, it must be put in its proper place.
Clapping is applause; itβs a sign of approval or excitement. Spiritually, however, it doesnβt equate to praising or worshipping God. Youβve probably heard people say, βLetβs clap for Jesus.β But clapping is not how the Bible teaches us to worship or praise the Lord.
True worship is expressed with words, songs of the Spirit, and the lifting of our hands in reverence to God. For example, we saw from our opening scripture that the lifting of hands is an act of worship recognized in heaven. The New Testament praise and worship is in spirit and truth, as Jesus said the Father desires (John 4:23-24).
When a miracle happens and people clap, theyβre not praising God; theyβre expressing approval or excitement.
The danger is that in doing so, they sometimes neglect to give God the actual worship He deserves as a result of such a miracle. This is why we must be instructed by the Word. Worship must always be rooted in knowledge, not habit.
So, while clapping has its place as a human response to events, true praise and worship must come from your spirit, expressed through your words, songs, the lifting of your hands, and other expressions in worship that the Bible talks about. This is what glorifies the Lord. We may clap in celebration of victories, but that's not praise: "O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph" (Psalm 47:1).

βοΈDONβT SPEAK AGAINST GOD
βββββββββββββββ
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? (Malachi 3:13).
ββββββββββ
From our opening scripture above, we read something quite sobering. Speaking through the Prophet Malachi, God said, βYour words have been stout against me.β Imagine that men would speak words that stand against God. Yet, in their ignorance, they asked, βWhat have we spoken against you?β They didnβt even realize they were speaking in defiance to God. This is still happening today.
Many take sides against God with their words without knowing it. They say things that negate what He has said concerning them. Even in simple things, for example, where God has said divine health is your heritage in Christ, yet many talk sickness all the time. Thatβs speaking against truth; and Godβs Word is truth (John 17:17).
The Word says, β...All things are yoursβ (1 Corinthians 3:21); therefore, don't say, "I'm broke." Declare that you have all the resources you require for all that God wants you to do. The Bible shows us that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Your words arenβt empty; when they align with Godβs Word, His truth and the reality of what it says are established in your life.
But when your words contradict the Word, you create a loophole for the adversary. God has said, β...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear...β (Hebrews 13:5-6). Notice the sequence: "He said, so you may boldly sayβ; thatβs the principle. He wants your words to be in sync with His.
This is how it works in the Kingdom. If youβre new to this, it may sound unusual at first, but itβs the life of faith. Donβt side against God. Donβt nullify His blessings in your life with wrong confessions. Say what He has said. Declare what He has declared. Thatβs how to walk in victory!

Dear Father, thank you for opening my understanding to the power of words. I boldly declare that Iβm full of health, strength, prosperity, and I walk in victory. I speak in line with your truth always, affirming your truths as my reality. I live above circumstances, functioning in the blessings of Christ, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.

βοΈDONβT SPEAK AGAINST GOD
βββββββββββββββ
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? (Malachi 3:13).
ββββββββββ
From our opening scripture above, we read something quite sobering. Speaking through the Prophet Malachi, God said, βYour words have been stout against me.β Imagine that men would speak words that stand against God. Yet, in their ignorance, they asked, βWhat have we spoken against you?β They didnβt even realize they were speaking in defiance to God. This is still happening today.
Many take sides against God with their words without knowing it. They say things that negate what He has said concerning them. Even in simple things, for example, where God has said divine health is your heritage in Christ, yet many talk sickness all the time. Thatβs speaking against truth; and Godβs Word is truth (John 17:17).
The Word says, β...All things are yoursβ (1 Corinthians 3:21); therefore, don't say, "I'm broke." Declare that you have all the resources you require for all that God wants you to do.
