Look! Your Manifestation is Here

The LORD is faithful, the glory is already manifesting in and through us, because in this hour we are beginning to realize that light shines brighter in darkness.

The darkness is rather becoming a potting soil for the manifestation of the glory of GOD. Yes it is still there but the darkness is finding it difficult to comprehend the light.

There is something about the operation of the grace of God. We are quite familiar with meaning of the grace of God. That it is the unearned, undeserved, unmerited favour of GOD.

This is not a theological definition but a Bible based definition; for we are told in the eleventh chapter of the book of Romans;

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6

This is saying grace exists alone. It cannot be diluted with works. If it be by grace then no human input is needed, it is all of grace. Every blessing is coming by the gratuitous hand of the father of light to the sinner made righteous by the blood of Jesus.

 It is either you are under grace or you are under the law. There is no balancing according to the above scripture. 

Many think the law is there friend. They think the law was given to help them live righteous. 

But that is not what the scriptures review, the law had a different mandate, it was given to bring us to the place of guilt;

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Romans 3:19

When you talk of the law a lot of people are thinking about the ceremonial law and only the Ten Commandments. 

But it is beyond that, where there is sin, it is because a law has been broken. Whenever you feel guilty, know that you have put yourself under a law;

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1John 3:4

Whenever you sin, know you have transgressed the law. It could be any law. Governmental, Ten Commandments, self-laws etc.

From my experience and seeing what happens in the life of people around me, I have discovered we are daily manufacturing our own laws. Sometimes even our prayer time, study time, waking up time and so on have become laws.

When we don’t study at that set time we feel guilty. When we don’t do certain things at the time set aside by us, we think God is angry with us and then we tend to expect the negative to happen to us.

But we can be free, we can live daily absolute free from guilt, for the word says;

(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Romans 5:13

If there is no law, sin is never imputed. And if it is not imputed, no guilt, no condemnation.

My Joy should be that there should be now law. It isn’t it? Yes, and that is what the LORD has done;

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 10:4

Yes, Jesus is the end of the Law for righteousness to the believer. The Law is terminated in the life of the believer. 

We live unto God by Christ and not by the law. We are free from condemnation, free from the accusations of the enemy.

We stand by faith in the unmerited, undeserved and  unconditional love and grace of GOD.  Nothing has any power to stop our blessings except we decide to wake the law up in our lives even though we are eternally free.

 When you say things like this many folks become agitated, thinking it’s a license to sin. No, it is a license for exploits. The law is rather the license to sin. See what the word says;

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.1 Corinthians 15:56

The word used above for strength is from the Greek word dunamis which means force or specifically miraculous power(Strong’s Concordance G1411).

When you want to see the miracle working power of sin in the life of a believer – introduce the law.

But if you want to see the fruits of righteousness manifesting – introduce the sin carrier – Jesus;

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:11

The law is only alive in your imagination. You cannot be under the law because Jesus is the end of the law. You can only judge yourself and feel guilty while God is asking who told you that you were naked?

Look to Jesus, the door is always opened. You are always qualified for every blessing and every task.

 In an encounter with the LORD; I saw an exchange done in the spirit and I saw Jesus substituting someone and coming forth in manifestation.

The Spirit led me to;

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1Peter 3:18

Then the LORD said; “It is a divine exchange,  the righteous for the unrighteous.

 I have brought you to a place in God right now where I AM manifesting my life through you.

I AM giving life to all you do, showing forth my majesty and now effecting the divine exchange in your life in the fulfillment of my assignments like never before.

I am your manifestation. Look! Your manifestation is here.”

Resurrection power and healing grace is released

Victories are being won, but from the inside out. New Joy is flowing from the throne of grace to heavy hearts at this moment. I call it new joy because it surpasses understanding.

Amidst the chaos God is doing a deeper work of releasing us from burdens we have carried for years.

Many of us love Jesus. We sincerely do. We want to serve him, we wish we can fulfill his will upon our lives, but there is this war against us. This war is over and over again so heavy upon us that we are often tempted to think we are not functioning in God’s will, or maybe we have committed an unpardonable sin. 

Sometimes it is as if the whole world is crashing over us. Rejection, persecution, shame, affliction, disgrace etc  all come against us with a force only the divine support of God takes us through.

In this period how do you stay strong? How do you stay joyful amidst the dismal fiascos of life?

This is important because JOY = Strength. Joy gives you the ability to stand and do God’s counsel.

…for the joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

Yes, the Joy of the LORD equals my strength. I am strong when I am filled with the JOY of the LORD. 

But how do I get filled with the JOY of the LORD? 

Let us see how Jesus experienced his joy;

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrew 12:2

To overcome the present, Jesus took his eyes off the present and looked at the joy, the glory that was set before him. He looked beyond to the end glory.

Many of us have received prophetic words from The LORD, some through prophets, and some through the word. These prophecies carry a weight of God’s glory to be experienced by us. 

But at the moment, many of us are finding it difficult to live a Joyful life since what has being declared is not yet manifesting in our lives.

Jesus lived in the reality of the word spoken to him by the father. His joy came not from the present situations but he kept seeing himself in the day of the fulfillment of God’s word. This is how he was able to despise the shame. He would weigh the shame and the glory and the two were definitely unmatched.

There is a blessing for believing the promise before its fulfillment.  Jesus told this to Thomas;

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed (Happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God) are they who did not see (me) yet and yet believed. John 20:29 AMP

Happiness, Joy is tied to believing the word whether fulfilled or yet to be fulfilled. The one who believes before the fulfillment is happy. Lives joyfully and spiritually secure in the favour of God. But the one who keeps doubting has neglected the blessings.

This is how Jesus was able to escape the shame and the depression he would have been under.

 The word of God admonishes us not to despise prophesying, and we are also admonished to believe also the prophets of God for our prosperity. It could be spiritual, in the soul or bodily prosperity.

Look at what has been spoken by the LORD over you, look at the declaration of the LORD for this year from whoever he has led you to believe.

See yourself already in the fulfillment of God’s vision upon your life and joy will bounce back, giving you strength to overcome the now and happily fulfill God’s counsel.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2Corithians 4:18

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw resurrection power manifesting as a Christian prayed over a corpse, and I also saw the healing power of God bringing healing to a sick body. 

Then I heard “Resurrection power and healing grace is released upon my church for the fulfillment of my word in this era”

I Am Selecting a New Breed for Higher Impact

There is joy coming in at the moment, amidst the daring challenges there is a peace God has released. But this is coming because we are looking beyond and seeing the end. For the joy and glory set before us, we are enduring all things and at the moment. Nothing should matter because the end is glorious.

There is a beauty hidden in understanding the covenant upon us in Christ. O’ that I may have time and space. There are treasures hidden in the revelation of the covenant.

Many of us have looked at the covenant as just a compilation of rules, others as a compilation of promises, others think the covenant was made with us and so we have to keep our part of the contract. 

But there is something far too beautiful to see in the covenant.

First, there is an everlasting covenant which is the covenant of Grace. It is the covenant of God’s underserved, unmerited, unconditional favor upon us. 

God never cut this covenant with a man outside of Jesus. I wish I could go into details but understand that the New Testament is the revelation of the Old Testament. Hence with that in mind in the new testament it is said; 

And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8

Observe carefully the language used above, it is said God gave the covenant of circumcision to Abraham. It does not say Abraham cut a covenant with God but it was given to him and the circumcision of his son Isaac was a proclamation of the covenant.

The covenant was giving to Abraham as a gift. 

This is the covenant of grace not the covenant of the law. The covenant of blessings with no stipulations was given to Abraham, it was not a contract between him and God. All he was to do was to be a proclamation. There was nothing tangible or real in that circumcision;

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:28-29

It is said all the outward show that Abraham was doing meant nothing. It was something beyond the natural. Observe the last statement “whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Abraham had nothing to offer, the covenant was all spiritual and nothing of man but all to the glory to God.

It was a picture of the real thing which was done between God and Jesus even before the creation of the world.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8

The covenant was finished before even Abraham was born and it was all spiritual. Apostle Paul explains in more detail;

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Galatians 3:17

The word used above for Confirmed before is the Greek word prokuroo which means to ratify previously (Strong’s Concordance G4300). The covenant was ratified, validated, formally consent by God in Christ even before the creation of the world. It was given to Abraham as a gift.

Secondly, the covenant is not just a compilation of promises or just a set of rules but a person.

Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; Isaiah 49:8

This is a prophecy about Jesus; God said I will give you for a covenant of the people. Jesus is my covenant with God. Jesus is the everlasting covenant. The covenant is a person. The covenant is not just a promises but the person of Jesus.  Christ is all things.

This covenant is between God and God and there is nothing you and I can add to it. We have come too late, it was confirmed, validated, and ratified in Christ even before the creation of the world. Therefore,

Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:15

This is why we are told in the book of Hebrews;

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Hebrews 7:22

The word used above for surety is the Greek word egguos which means a pledge, a bondsman (Strong’s Concordance G1450). Jesus is the covenant partner, he is the bondsman.  All stipulations are on him but he has fulfilled all the stipulations and today you and I are just beneficiaries.

 But it does stop there is a third thing out of the many glories to benefit your heart,

Thirdly; when Jesus comes into you, one party of the covenant has entered your life. God is obligated to Jesus and not you. Jesus becomes the pledge that all the promises are yes in your life. 

He now goes on to guarantee every promise, giving you no room for anything but to rest in his grace and sufficiency.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14

He seals you and he is the earnest of the inheritance. The word translated above for earnest is the Greek word arrabon which means a pledge (money or property) given as security(Strong’s Concordance G728). Christ is all.

He becomes the security that all God has promised you will come to pass. This is why the whole story of the gospel is Christ in you the Hope of Glory.

Look within, is Christ still there? Then have hope, it is an unshakable, unbreakable, unchangeable and unstoppable covenant. You are in for a whole lot of blessings!

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw an international body that was setup to select the best fans of national teams of different countries. 

Then I saw that the Body was totally unbiased and went even for the fans of a third world country’s national team and named them the best.  I saw this people celebrating in a stadium full of people.

The Holy Spirit led me to;

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Isaiah 43:3-4

And again;

 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Isaiah 43:7

Then the LORD said “I am selecting a new breed for higher impact.

 I have created you for my Glory and now is the time of your announcement.

There is nothing I will not give for your safety. I have given all things to bring you from your lowest place to a higher place in me.

In my sight you are precious and eternally irreproachable.

 I will choose you over and over again for my glory because I love you.

You are my perfect choice for all I have called you to do.

Now is the time of your great impact.”

Heaven Has Released an Answer to Corona Virus

We are already in a new day even though it is looking like we are in a low state of things. This is the moment of God. This is the season God is demonstrating to us his sovereignty.

The things around us may look paltry but God is actually allowing things to be insignificant for his greater glory.

I have understood from scripture and experience that when God speaks promises over his people, in most cases he would allow for a waiting period at which instead of making them sufficient in themselves to fulfill his counsel, I have seen it the other way round.

I see that God will rather allow his people to be diminished in their qualifications, potentials and resources. When we come to that place where the physical can not produce the miracles expected, then we have entered the moment of God.

As crazy as it looks right now, we are in the right spot for the demonstration of God’s power.

 There is no one with the power of raising the dead except God. This is why God will let situations in our lives to die that we may experience his resurrection power.  This was the case of Abraham the father of faith,

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17

The power of God as a creator is glorified in dead things, God is known to give life to dead things. This is why we must look up at all times, we may have being waiting on God for years and now it seems things are getting worse.

 The reason they have gotten worse is because you have hit the Miracle moment.  God has been waiting for you to enter this moment. God calls those things that be not as though the were. God chooses the things that are not,

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1Corinthians 1:27-28

You may have received scriptural promises and prophecies but all you see around you has no capacity to effect the fulfillment of the promises. 

Yes, the reason why God has left you that way is because he wants to bless you beyond your imagination.  If what you have for the breakthrough is worth it then you don’t need God. God creates the vacuum to demonstrate his all-sufficiency. 

Yes all is against hope, but you must believe against hope,

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: Romans 4:18-19

Consider not the deadness of things, consider not the weakness of your faith, consider nothing but keep giving God glory, for you are at the right spot for a miracle. 

God is not fulfilling his promises for you because there exists something with you that can bring forth the breakthrough without his ability.

 God used just a rod to deliver an entire nation from Egypt, God used just a stone to defeat Goliath the giant.  And in most cases God uses nothing from the earth but his Spiritual hosts. 

He used nothing at two different times to defeat the enemies of King Jehoshaphat (Isaiah 37:36, 2Chronicles 20:22-25)

God intends that we know him in all his attributes. There is such a thing as the omnipotence of God, this what God employs when it comes to fulfilling his promises. He does all his will by his greatness.

 Our inadequacy rather lauds our glorifying of him. Keep giving God glory, we are here! Giving glory is the demonstration of your righteousness;

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:20-22

In an encounter with the LORD, I heard “heaven has released an answer to Corona Virus” 

And in another  encounter “I saw a believer working with two other people in a healing ministry, then I saw this believer receive a call to separate himself for the work the LORD had called him to do, to start up his own healing ministry. All of a sudden I saw the two people he was working with in ministry begin to immediately treat him with negligence. But he went along and began his work. I saw the hand of God upon this one, I saw him reap results in folds out of his work. Despite the attempt by the others to kill his morale, the LORD was with him.”

Coming out the Spirit led me to the story of Jacob in the house of Laban.  The LORD spoke a lot  in that story, but lets take these few verses;

And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. Genesis 31:1-3

Then the LORD Said; “My glory is upon you, My covenant is with you which is the reason for the persecution.

But I have hedged you all about. I AM your protection and Guard. I AM keeping you.

 I AM attending to all you do with my blessings by My Outstretched  Arm.  

Do not be afraid, No harm shall befall you.

Move on, the enemy cannot stop you now, you are unstoppable because I AM with you.”

Let Go

Stand firm in the grace of God. Stand and watch God fulfill his counsel upon your life.

As you stand in the grace of God the law speaking against you and all the negative prophecies will witness the grace of God manifested in fulfilling his purpose on you.

There is something about passion or affection. Passion is not something evil but it can be used by the enemy as an inroad. It is good to have passion for the salvation of others.

It is good to have passion that the LORD use you in doing mighty works.  It is good to passion to be healed, to live prosperously.  

It is good to have passion for spiritual gifts but there is better way to go about it.

There is something as inordinate affection. 

This is passion for something whether it is for a good thing manipulated upon by the enemy.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:  Colossians 3:5

The word translated above for inordinate affection is from the Greek word pathos which means suffering and a passion.

 When passion for anything introduces suffering, know that the enemy’s hand is on it. Know that idolatry has found its way in.

If you have passion for your child to be saved and it gives you sleepless nights, you are not far from idolatry. 

If You have passion for your business, your church to grow and you cannot be happy at the level you are, know that idolatry has found its way in. 

The desire has become inordinate. It has become inappropriate even though it is for something good.

This is why most hearts are heavy. There is a weight and a fear of the unknown that weighs them down. 

The enemy will come at you in ways only the Holy Ghost can help you discern.

But there is a way out.

 First, consider yourself inadequate and evil outside of God. Know that in you dwells no good thing. 

But  understand that God wants you well, 

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.Mathew 8:17

God loves your sons more than you love them and wants them saved. He gave his own son for your sons and he is working all things together to bring them to that place where they will cry out for the Spirit.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13

God wants you to prosper more that you can ever imagine.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John1:2

If you are a preacher, remember Jesus said I will build my Church. He never said you should build his church for him. Except the LORD builds and watches over his house you are laboring in vain.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mathew 16:18

Secondly, The work of salvation was initiated by God, God said “let us” you were not in that meeting. It was concluded and all things made ready before you were created.

Understand that All things have being done. Ours is to enter that rest through faith.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.Hebrew 4:9-10

Why do you need rest?

 Because salvation is not found in your name, Salvation is found in no other name but Jesus and he has said enter my rest for it is finished. I have accomplished your salvation. Cease from worry, cease from panicking, cease from trying to become for;

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:14

In an encounter, I heard from the mouth of a lady saying to two people intending to leave her “I let go, I do not care what happens”

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1Peter 5:7
