JESUS MAKES IT POSSIBLEWhat is your dream? Has God placed a dream, a desire in your heart? Dont doubt but believe what isgoing through your mind. Even if your present circumstances do not guarantee your future, dont giveup; the end has not come. Whether you were given a vision or dream and you never believed it becauseit overwhelmed you more than you could imagine - no matter the circumstances, no matter what

happens, with God, all things are possible. With Jesus in your life, you will be in a future state as if itwere already true or here. If Christ Himself changes you through His Word by His Spirit, it will remain

permanent. The power of change can transform you from darkness to light, from yoke to deliverance,from where you are now to where God wants you to be. With Jesus in your life, your impossibilities willbecome possible.

HOW TO OVERCOME

Many desire victory but are not victorious. Many wish for success and yet fail repeatedly. Many dream of

higher heights yet find themselves slipping slowly downhill. A successful life does not come by merewishful thinking but a rightful focus. Champions are not crowned for desiring to be crowned but because

they have defeated an enemy. The burning question now is, how do I overcome? The answer is

obedience to His Word. God has promised overcoming victory to those who believe the Word and act

upon it. Acting on the Word gives God an opportunity to heal, bless, deliver and save you. When we

fearlessly act upon the Word of God and joyously cast our every care on Him, victory is as sure as the

rising of the sun.

CHARGE THE AIR AROUND YOU!

Do you want to speak? Pause a minute and think about what your usual conversations have been like. Is

your speech profitable to others? Do your words build others up or pull them down? Above all, do your

words glorify God? Stop and think first before you speak. Make sure you refrain from speaking anything

negative. Vain and idle talk is a product of a vain and idle heart. If we are honest with ourselves, we

must admit that much of our conversation is nothing more than empty talk. In Matthew 12:30-34, we aretold that God takes notice of every word we say, even that which we ourselves do not notice. So, do not

just fill the air; speak words that build other people up words that edify, heal, deliver, bless and save.

When your words are positive, the air around you would be filled with positive things, the air around you

would be charged with positive ideas, opportunities and good will.

TAKE REFUGE

People feel secure in their homes until natural disaster hits or robbers break in. People feel safe in their

families and with friends until crisis hits of separation, death or violent rebellion. People take for granted

their health until sickness, disease or injury kicks in. As for me and my house, I have no other refuge

than this command of Jesus, Only believe that is my refuge. When natural disaster hits, only believe

that God will see you through. When separation hits, only believe that God is powerful and faithful to His

faithful ones. When sickness comes, only believe that it will not last long it may be to stop you a whileto improve your relationship with God. As believers, our troubles are not to impair us but improve us

when we face them in faith, believing that it is to advance our cause and course in the Lord. So, take

refuge in Him; He is there to walk you through. Psalm 91:15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer

him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him.

I AM LOVED BY GOD

Be silent for a few minutes with one thought in mind I AM LOVED BY GOD!

When everything around you is unquiet be quiet, says the Lord and know that I AM GOD! (Psalm

46:10)

In other words, be still, stand firm and know that God is with you!

Know that in the vicissitudes of life, in every pain and in every pleasure of life, God is still saying

something. Those whom God designs to admit to the most intimate acquaintance with Him, He first

makes sensible that they deserve to be kept at a great distance from Him. The more sensibly you feel the

calamities of this earth, the better improved you will become in your relationship with God. Therefore,

every situation you face as a child of God serves a purpose but how you handle it matters.

Ephesians 3:16-19

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your innerbeing, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and

established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high

and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledgethat you may be filled to

the measure of all the fullness of God.

THE WAY OUT

Every one of us is passing through one or the other tough or painful situation and is looking for the way

out. Many times we feel overwhelmed by the many battles we are fighting and we just cannot see the

way out. It is therefore important to stop and think, Am I in the place where God wants me to be? Or do

I find myself in a place without purpose where my weakness controls me?

We should not tempt satan to tempt us by giving our attention to things that nurse our weaknesses. No

one can say, No to sin without the help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest battle is in our heart. If you

succeed, you have already succeeded in your heart. If you fail, you have already failed in your heart.

Therefore, to live an overcoming life, stand for what is right and focus on those things that edify your

spirit. How? We are made spiritual by living in the Word and by the Word living in us.Genesis 4:6

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at

your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.

Therefore, we should not be carnally minded and be ruled by our fleshly desires. Rather, our mind and

bodies should be our servants and not our master This is the way out!

FAITH POINTS TO JESUS

Acts 4:13 -Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they wereuneducated and untrained men, they marvelled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Do people see Jesus in you? People will see Jesus Christ in you when your life points to Jesus. Your lifepoints to Jesus when you do not take the glory or credit. We must walk by faith because only faith pointsto Jesus. That you listen to the message of the Gospel every day does not mean you are a believer.

Knowing facts about Jesus does not change your relationship with Him. It is not a matter of listening tothe Word of God as a mere listener, good hearer or intellectual; it is a matter of allowing the Word totransform you by its very nature by acting on it. Many are good in hearing, preaching and reading theWord but just few can bring Jesus onto the scene. This is what is making the Church seem unpopularbecause this is a generation without faith and hope. Faith does not ask for possible things; it demands

impossible. Therefore, faith requires us to speak forth before we feel or see. We must awake to the factthat we do not see first, and then believe. As a result of our believing, we see. We must believe that wewould see the glory of God. When our lives bring Jesus on the scene, we would see His glory. May yourlife point men to Jesus as you walk by faith, not by sight.

Like ShareSTRIKE THE ROOTSatan is the author of affliction. He does nothing without sin. In other words, sin is the cause of affliction.When Jesus said to the paralytic in Mark 2:5Son, your sins are forgiven, He simply chose to deal withthe cause, I mean the source, the root of the affliction rather than the affliction itself. For example, when

you cut the stem of a tree, you have not killed it yetbut you have only given it the chance to developother shoots I mean, other branches. But when you deal with the roots, you have killed the treeindeed. So, it is better to deal with the cause of a problem than to try to solve it.

Today, people bother about the solution of a problem rather than its cause; they bother about healing,rather than about sin, the cause of affliction, just as they bother about blessing rather than about sin the

cause of poverty. When you bother about a problem while neglecting its cause, you cannot have a lastingsolution and that is why the problem keeps recurring. Dealing with the problem and neglecting the cause

is like merely cutting off the branches of a tree while neglecting the root. Therefore, strike the root ofyour problem in order to have a lasting solution in Christ Jesus

THE VALUE OF YOUR TRIALSo many people today pray against their trials without realising that no one isreadymade before God got him. Joseph knew the value of his trial because it was in themidst of that trial that that God got him to the place where He could use him (Genesis39:20-23). He had to experience poverty in order to manage blessing when it finallycame. Who knows what would have happened if your prayer for a better condition hadbeen answered? If not for your trial, would you be seeking Gods face? No matter thetrouble that is facing you, dont let your trial lead you out of Gods presence. Godsometimes allows His people to come under such trying situations in order to bring

them to their knees, for it is then that we discover that it is not about us but all about

Jesus.

TRUE JOYDo you find that your emotions go up and down with your changing situation? I mean,does your situation dictate the nature of your joy? The world, unbelievers may havehappiness they find in their environment money, business, fame and popularity but itdoes not last. The peace of the world concerns only body and time but the peace, the

joy, that Christ gives enriches the soul for eternity (Isaiah 61:7). Joy is something thatonly believers have because joy is a fruit of faith. A man of faith can be happy evenwhen there is nothing to be happy about on the outside because true joy comes from

loving Jesus not from things that we amass.

GOD OWNS NEXTPsalm 39:4,6, Show me, Lord, my lifes end and the number of my days;let me know how fleeting my life is. Surely everyone goes around like amere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth withoutknowing whose it will finally be. But now, Lord, what do I look for? Myhope is in You.The only way we can give God the honour He deserves is to give God next.Next means the future, the moment to come. We live now, God lives next;we own now, God owns next. If you know that you are expected to usetodays supplies and let tomorrow be, you would not misuse todayssupplies. The cause of killing, stealing and destruction is the urge to buildup treasures for ourselves here on earth. When you know that nextbelongs to God, you will reverence Him. Worrying about next, tomorrowcripples our ability to think, act and exercise faith in the present and thepresent only is ours. Each day God sends His loving aids to strengthen andassist us. Learn to use todays supplies for todays trouble and lettomorrow, next be.

FOCUS ON YOUR PURPOSE

Every man has a time and space allotted to him by Gods divine providence. We call this your purpose or

your destiny. When your purpose is clear, your life would have meaning. The only way to see life clearly

is to focus on Christ alone. We are celebrating the life of Jesus Christ because His focus was not broken.

Pay any price to protect your focus. Be determined. Broken focus is the real reason why men fail. We

overcome by keeping our purpose at the forefront of our minds. In order not to end up like the masses

out there who are merely wandering without direction and without purpose, focus on your dream. In the

face of snow, in the face of rain do not give up, do not stop; keep on pressing, dig deep and fight it

through. Those who have the greatest and most positive impact on society are not concerned aboutname and fame. We should not allow unhealthy ego, anger, pride or arrogance to overrule our good

intention. Every day you must stay true to your purpose despite snow or rain.

Proverbs 4:25-26Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful

thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.

REST IN THE PLACE GOD HAS FOR YOUAre you worried, disturbed or stressed? Many due to anxieties and worries

find themselves rushing helter-skelter, trying to be, to do, to achieve in

their own strength, ability and power. The result is high stress and

emotional torture. Such are not content, looking to others for direction,

comparing themselves to others instead of resting in the place God has

for them. They may try to believe but are not doers of the Word. People of

God, faith cannot be forced. You dont need to struggle to believe. The first

step in our walk of faith is to stop our own works and rest in Gods love,wisdom and power.

When we truly believe, our hearts will be at rest. When we believe, worries

and anxieties will vanish. This kind of faith is real, genuine and natural. It

is not a pretentious calm or unnatural self-restraint.

When you truly believe, you will not compare yourself to others or measure

DONT PUSH GOD OUT

1 Timothy 4:15-16Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your

progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for

in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

It is so important that you take time to improve your quiet moments for devotion with God

because in the whirl of everyday activities, you cannot make a good decision. That is, a decision

with God. You cannot think while on the run. The simple truth is that you will never find a

convenient time for God; you must make it. Every time of man is occupied but remember thatthere is a time for everything. There is a time to talk and a time to listen. There is a time for

movement and a time to be still. Stop jamming your life so full that you push God out. He is not

one of those things; He is the most important of all. We serve God with our sacrificial offerings

of inconvenience. That is, when we dishonour ourselves that the Lord might be honoured in

what we have to give. All offerings of convenience are not sacrificial. While making time to talk

to God, dont forget you also need time to sit back in faith and listen to what God has to say. It


23/29

is not a matter of bringing what you think you need to hear; this is about what God has to say

to you. Every day, God has something to say to you. Even when He seems to be quiet, God is

still saying something. When God speaks, changes begin. Your life will not change until you

change something you do daily. Therefore, the secret of your future is hidden in your daily

routine. Listen to the voice of God and ask Him to teach you to take the next step in trusting

Him, heart and soul.

ORDER YOUR WORDS ARIGHT

As a faith man, never allow your situation to mislead you to make a wrong confession. When Iorder my words aright, God manifests to me the benefits of His great salvation. That is,

whatever I shall decree out of faith, that I shall have. Believing is possessing. As Christians, it is

true that we have the things we say. However, negative confession precedes possession of

wrong things. Most of our troubles are tongue troubles. Our confession is what God says about

our situation. If our confession is positive, our attitude towards God is positive. If our

confession is negative, our attitude towards God is negative and when we are face to face with

Jesus, what matters most is our attitude towards Him. In the same way as confession can be

made unto healing, deliverance and all of Gods blessings, confession can be made unto failure,

sickness, defeat and disgrace. Salvation follows our confession of faith. Gods Word says

that what you say will become a visible reality in the natural world as long as you steadfastlyhold on to your confession of faith. Confession of faith means saying what God has said over

and over until the thing desired in your heart and promised in the Word is fully manifested in

your life. It is not only your thoughts that build power or weakness into you; your words and

every conversation also do. Every time you speak right, you are training yourself to think right

and act right. To order your words aright, keep the Words of the Holy Spirit in your mind,

mouth and every conversation.


24/29

PSALM 50:22-23 -Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there

be none to deliver: Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct

aright I will show the salvation of God.

CAST YOUR BURDENS UPON THE LORD

In Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7, the Bible encourages us to, cast our burden upon the Lord.

Care is a burden; it makes the heart sick. Worry can rob us of happiness. We often labour

under the burden of senseless anxiety and care about tomorrow. That is why the Bible tells us

to cast the burden upon the Lord for He alone is able to give us rest. The best remedy againstanxiety is to cast our burden upon God, believing His divine will to calm our spirit. To cast our

burden upon God is to rest our trust in His providence and promise.

His promise does not say He would keep us free from cares and anxiety but that He would give

us enough grace to stand and resist those troubles that cause our anxieties, cares and

unnecessary fears. If we commit our ways and works to Him, He promised to carry us in the

arms of His power, as a nurse carries a child and will strengthen our spirit by His Spirit. He who

bore the burden of our sorrows, worries, cares, anxieties and fears, desires us to leave it

entirely for Him because He alone knows what it takes to give us rest. Why dont we trust and

let Him prove Himself? After all, He is the Governor of our future - I mean, He owns our future.In other words, after you must have done everything humanly possible, you must leave the

issue with God to mark your work.

I AM LOVED BY GOD

Be silent for a few minutes with one thought in mind I AM LOVED BY GOD!

When everything around you is unquiet be quiet, says the Lord and know that I AM GOD!

(Psalm 46:10)

In other words, be still, stand firm and know that God is with you!

Know that in the vicissitudes of life, in every pain and in every pleasure of life, God is still

saying something. Those whom God designs to admit to the most intimate acquaintancewith Him, He first makes sensible that they deserve to be kept at a great distance from Him.

The more sensibly you feel the calamities of this earth, the better improved you will

become in your relationship with God. Therefore, every situation you face as a child of God

serves a purpose but how you handle it matters.

Ephesians 3:16-19

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit


27/29

in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that

you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to

grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that

surpasses knowledgethat you may be filled to the measure ofall the fullness of God.

THE WAY OUT

Every one of us is passing through one or the other tough or painful situation and is looking for

the way out. Many times we feel overwhelmed by the many battles we are fighting and we just

cannot see the way out. It is therefore important to stop and think, Am I in the place where

God wants me to be? Or do I find myself in a place without purpose where my weakness

controls me?

We should not tempt satan to tempt us by giving our attention to things that nurse our


28/29

weaknesses. No one can say, No to sin without the help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest battle

is in our heart. If you succeed, you have already succeeded in your heart. If you fail, you have

already failed in your heart. Therefore, to live an overcoming life, stand for what is right and

focus on those things that edify your spirit. How? We are made spiritual by living in the Word

and by the Word living in us.

Genesis 4:6

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is

crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.

Therefore, we should not be carnally minded and be ruled by our fleshly desires. Rather, our

mind and bodies should be our servants and not our master This is the way out!
