PRAYER
Father, we thank you for your Word that we are about to receive today, we are lifted, changed and transformed by it. Our hearts and our minds are open to receive and we receive with joy and gladness, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Lift up your hands and shout hallelujah!
The Word is our life, it is what we live by. It is there to lead and direct us. It is there to show us what to do and how to do what to do.
The Word is everything to us, we ought to live daily by the Word of God. The Word is not just food for our spirits, it is also the pilot for our daily living. With God’s Word, we know what to do at every point in time. Hallelujah!
You are not kept in the dark with the Word in your spirit. You have inner counsel with the Word in you. This counsel comes from the Word and the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our counsellor as seen in John 14:16 AMPC. You are not out of information. He gives you information about any and everything. Praise God!
It is this same Word that instructs you not to do a particular thing or not to go to a particular place or not to say a particular thing. The Word gives us instruction on what and what not to do.
The Word is what forms our character, it makes us do things like the Master Himself. The more you have the Word in you, the more you look like Jesus. Jesus is the Word of God in flesh
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:1,14.
So the Word instructs us. We ought to give the Word place in our hearts and allow it to gaìn ascendancy over our minds and our lives.
When it comes to the way we live our lives and conduct ourselves as Christians, the Word should have first place in all that we ought to put into consideration.
For example, we should love others as the Bible admonishes.
"And He answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." Luke 10:27.
When you love others, you won’t do them wrong, all you would want is the best for them. Hallelujah!
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19
If you want the anointing fully operational in you, you must have the fulness of God. This means, you must be full of love.
What breadth, length, depth and height can and should your love go? Can your love be stetched and you'll still keep loving? Your love should go any length, it should go any height.
Can you love an unpleasant boss or a wicked guardian?
You should be able to love anyone. God loved the whole world. (John 3:16). This includes sinners, God loved everyone.
Some people get easily offended, they are easily angry. You must get the Word into you, let it soak in you, let it soak in your spirit, let the fruit of the Spirit be manifested in your character. You should learn to hold yourself in at all times, let the Word rule over your life.
You should live happy everyday, joyful and full of the Spirit. This is the kind of life we should be living as Christians where everyday is a day of joy for you. Hallelujah! No sad moments because you are full of the Spirit.
Nothing can bring or put you down this way, it's just a sweet sail and ride with the Holy Ghost. Glory to God!
This is what makes us different from the people of the world. They don't understand why we can be joyful and at peace in the midst of chaos and trouble. We have everything in control because we have the Holy Ghost in us. This is that supernatural thing about us.
As a Christian there should be something supernatural about you. You should not live like the people of the world, getting the same results they are getting. You are anointed, this is what separates you from the people of the world. You live your life from above because you are not of this world.
This is our Kingdom life. We have a way we talk, behave and respond. We are living our Kingdom life here on earth. Hallelujah!
So when we talk about being full of love, it's not something we try to do, it's our nature, we just live this way naturally because we were born that way. Hallelujah.
So, if you have not been living this way, get connected with your real nature and begin to live accordingly. Praise the Lord!
Lift up your hands and worship God.
