LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 2 COR 3:17 (NIV)




"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

10 KEYS -THE MYSTERY OF HIS FREEDOM  .




1. Peace -Is a weapon of war in the midst of your storms . When used instead of worry , it brings freedom from every satanic bondage of slavery to bitterness , anger , hate etc. John 16:33(NLT)"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
2.When the spirit of joy is activated , the spirit of liberty/freedom is manifested . Key - how do you attack a man who still chooses to remain joyful , despite all the opposition and persecutions . His joy brings liberty into your spirit .(freedom ) from the powers of darkness that can keep you in bondage .Psalm 16:11 (NIV)"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
3.Love is the quickest way to experience true freedom . Now what is Love ? Love forgives ,love is kind , love does not envy others and more . So when you walk in love you are at liberty from the powers of darkness . They might try , but love does not fail .1 Cor 13:8a (NASB)"Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away."
4.Kindness will keep you from becoming bitter. kindness will protect you from offence. Kindness doesn't only mean showing love to people who love you , but showing love to people you know that persecute and oppress you . where His Spirit is there is liberty (grace) to show kindness in the midst of your storm . His grace is always available .Prov 11:17a (Amp)"The merciful and generous man benefits his soul [for his behavior returns to bless him]."
5.Goodness - Showing His goodness to others in the midst of a challenge , that is where the test is . When you walk with Him , His Spirit comes to give you that liberty to be good to people. Knowing what ? Eph 6:8 (NIV)"because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free."
6.Forgiveness - Is one of the hardest thing to do , especially for those that have being badly and terribly hurt, but where His Spirit is we are at liberty to forgive because we love Him , though we feel the hurt , but because we sincerely love Him we forgive those who hurt us and we are quick to apologise to those we hurt.Acts 7:60 (NASB)"Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" Having said this, he fell asleep."
7.No offence - When the word is at work in your spirit , you find it easy to let go of the offence , because rather than take offence , joy comes to heal the pain from the offence . Why? Simply because where He is there is always the liberty to over look the offence because of our expectations and hope on Him. Lam 3:25(Amp)"The Lord is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him,.To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word]."
8.Provision - Where His Spirit is , you are at liberty to see His provision made available for you . The disciples saw only five loaves and two fishes in the book of luke 9 , Jesus because God's Spirit was at work in and through Him , He saw 12 baskets and more fishes remaining. Key - grief not the Holy Spirit . Why? He is the only one that can make you see your provision .John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
9.Where His Spirit is we are at liberty to think and reason like Him and fulfil His purpose for our life . 1 Cor 2:16 (Amp)"For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]."
10.Where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is always joy , love , peace in the Holy Ghost. why? His Spirit comes to give us that Liberty to express ourselves freely in His presence . Roms 8:25 (ESV)"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." That joy of liberty to feely express yourself to Him in love .


Prayer : Father help me to rejoice always anytime I am in your presence in Jesus name , Amen,


you are blessed!

"For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (seperated and set apart for pure and holy living ): that you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice."




15 HARMFUL EFFECTS ABOUT MASTURBATION MANY BELIEVERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT!




1. It weakens your spirit man. Man is a spirit being , created by God , masturbation is like a futile spiritual exercise , that has to do with your thoughts which is part of your spirit being , when you engage in such
futile spiritual exercise , spiritual virtue is release , when that happens , rather than being strengthen by the word which gives you life , you are weakened by your canal nature which brings death. Scripture says in the book of Roms 6:23 (Amp version) "For the wages which sin pays is death , but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord." Feeding on the word brings life to your spirit. "
2. It affects your thought pattern; naturally God created man to think and act like him; masturbation causes a shift in your thoughts; which hinders the flow of your heavenly thought pattern (divine ideas , heavenly revelation etc).1 Cor 2:16(Amp)"For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]."
3. it drives your spirit deeper into lust. Which when not checked can lead to perversion at a very "high" level . You hear of cases , where the man complains or the wife complains that her hubby can't satisfy her. check there is a missing link "somewhere". James 1:14(Amp)" But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)."
4 Again , if not dealt with on time , it really can bring a lot of unwanted "issues" into a man's life . both spiritual and physical harmful effects. Masturbation is a playground for demons to invite other wicked spirits into your life .you hear of people going from one problem to another ,masturbation attracts them. Why ? It is an unclean spirit . Eph 5:3(Amp)"But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive  behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]."
5. It hinders or stops the presence of God from manifesting in your life, every bona-fide child of God is suppose to be a carrier of God's presence. When you engage in it . you stop the flow of God's presence in your life. Roms 3:23 (Amp)"since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God."
6. it opens you easily for attack from the enemy. How ? whenever your spirit is weaken through that act ; you easily become a prey to Satan and his demons. Eccl 10:8"and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him."
7. Satan loves it because you make his job easier , when he comes to deal with you , when that edge is broken .Psalm 107:17"Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted."
8. Satan can easily rob you of your blessings because you are already spiritually weak to resist him. John 10:10a "The thief cometh not , but for to steal , and to kill ,and to destroy:"
9. It saps your spiritual energy. When you are spiritually weak, praying becomes a task. And a Christian who can't pray , is already defeated. Luke 18:1 (Amp)"Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart,."
10. It can lead to more depression, discouragement, weakness , when you discover it was just a waste of time. Gal 6:8(Amp)"For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the
Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."
11 , It breaks your communication with God because of guilt and condemnation. Remember the Accuser of the brethren . He will never fail to remind you , what you just did ! Rev 12:10b (Amp)"for the [a]accuser of our [believing] brothers and sisters has been thrown down [at last], he who accuses them and keeps bringing charges [of sinful behaviour] against them before our God day and night."
12. It causes the presence of God to depart from you. why? God cannot behold sin , so at that moment he leaves "unwillingly" because you are his child . Don't let him go next time !Remember what happened to Samson in the book of Judges 16:20b (Amp)"She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as I have time after time and shake myself free.” For Samson did not know that the Lord had departed from him."
13. it can delay the blessing from coming .How ? Well , that is simple . You and I know that sin will always stop the blessing from coming. Period! Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God , and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
14. God sends his angels regularly to deliver our blessings to us , when they come , they are prevented by the demons from gaining access , because at such moments the demons are in charge of your gates. Isaiah 60: 11 (Amp version) "And your gates shall be open continually , they shall not be shut day or night , that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations -and their kings led in procession [ your voluntary captives]" masturbation shuts the gates.
15. It can make you to lose hope . Why ? A man that feels guilty of his sins , will always want to keep away from God like Adam in the garden of Eden . Gens 3:10 (NIV)"He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."


Prayer : Father restore back all I have lost as a result of this sinful act in my life in Jesus name , Amen.
Listen you will surely overcome it in the name of Jesus , Amen. Be strong !!Zech 8:13 (NLT) . lOVE YOU

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF 1 PETER 2:11 (NIV) RE- EDITED POST




"Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul."



10 TIPS ON HOW YOU CAN STOP MASTURBATION !


 

1 The first step towards a Stop! You need to make up your mind about it. There is power in will power . Anytime , the urge comes you say "NO" and be very adamant about it ! "NO" is "NO" Period! in Jesus name , Amen. Remember Gen 3:1"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?." ...your enemy comes subtly , not with a shout , but a very subtle suggestion , that looks harmless . Shout at him , tell him NO , drive him away. Go out if you can't handle it in your house , call a friend and ask him to pray with you . it works .James 5:16 (Amp)" Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]."
2.You can never fight lewd thoughts in your mind . You fight it by speaking out against it. Jesus said in scripture in the book of Mark 11:23 ( Allow me to translate it like this ) "if thou shall say to this mountain " that wicked spirit of masturbation" go and perish in the sea and you believe in your heart , what you have said , it shall be done for you." Listen , even if you fall, follow the procedure , again and again , till your faith becomes strong to resist the temptation. Numbers  14:28 (NASB)"Say to them, 'As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you;."
3.Stop watching those secular videos with almost semi naked women on it or men exposing their bodies seductively. Don't tempt your self by saying you can handle it . Leave the scene or change the channel for your safety. What the eye sees the mind retains for future use by the enemy when the "evil" opportunity arises. 2 Cor 2:11 (NLT)"so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes."
4.stop the secular music. Try as much as possible not to have those dvd,s or cd,s around you. Every time you listen to it , your mind stores (evil communication/info) for future use by the enemy .Key - out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks . I have being a victim , so I know what I am saying, before you know what is happening those evil communication that have being stored in your heart begins to speak when it finds the opportunity . Matt 12:34 (NIV)"You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."
5.Be a reader, it helps. Develop your mind with good books , there are so many out there now . knowledge is strength. scripture says in prov 24:5 "A wise man is strong yea; a man of knowledge increaseth strenght". It is the knowledge of what you know , that gives you the strength to resist any kind of temptation when it comes . So keep reading good books (especially Christian books ) it helps.
6. Change friends if need be; some friends are just naturally a "bad" influence in your life . Drop them! Your life will never get better hanging out with them. Remember scripture 2 Cor 6:17,18(Amp)"“So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord,“ And do not touch what is unclean; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor],And I will be a Father to you,And you will be My sons and daughters, ”Says the Lord Almighty."
7. Try as much as possible not to be around people who take delight in talking dirty, as a believer you know words carry power , so be careful and avoid places and people like that ! Nothing stops you from praying for them , but safety first ! wisdom bible says is the "principal" thing.(Prov 4:7) and 1 Cor 15:33 (Amp) says "  Do not be deceived: [a]“Bad company corrupts good morals.”
8. Always pray - prayer strengthens you against temptations. Something that has always helped me , so I can confidently say prayer works. Luke 22:40(BSB)"When He came to the place, He told them, "Pray that you will not enter into temptation."
9. Never use your mouth to confess your weakness , always be positive and say things like this thing "masturbation " has no power over me , and in Jesus name I have conquered this weakness in my life , glory to God . watch it , a day will come it will just vanish from your mind like a dream and that is it ! Over . Amen. Remember Prov 23:7a "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:" ..if you think it so , so it
shall come to pass for you . Amen. your mind carries power . so think positively with it . Amen.
10. finally, I deliberately kept the best for last. This one works like the finger of God. I call it the "fool proof method" fasting . fasting deadens your emotions from acting. masturbation has to do with the flesh and when your flesh is subdued through fasting , it stops your body from reacting to sexual temptations. When you fast and pray , let your prayer points focus on the main problem , hit the nail on the head; be direct and don't beat around the bush , that such powers pushing you to engage in it be destroyed in Jesus name , Amen . Go on a three day fast if you have the grace and strength and you would be thankful to God you did! Matt 17:21(NASB)"But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." What kind ? Masturbation .

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK 2 KINGS 6:17 (PART 2)

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."


10 KEYS THE POWER OF SEEING

1. If you cannot see it , God cannot confirm it . Isaiah 44:26 "That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:"
2.If you cannot see it , it can be delayed . Why? God will always have you to see it , so He can perform it . Jer 1:11,12 "The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it."
3.If you cannot see it , you will doubt if God can do it . Jer 32:27 (Amp) “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me? ”
4.your physical eyes is not the same thing as your spiritual eyes , there is a difference. 2 Cor 4:18 (Amp)" So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and
imperishable."
5.Once you can see it , it becomes automatically yours if you can believe it . John 11:40 (NIV)"Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"
6.What you see is faith , what your physical eyes see is the facts . Now what is faith ? Heb 11:1 (NLT)"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." What your spiritual eyes can see is far stronger than what your physical eyes is seeing . (facts)
7.God will never show you , what He cannot do .No matter how impossible it is .Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
8.when God shows you a thing , He only wants you to receive what is already done. What does it mean , when God says it is done ? It means you shall behold the manifestation of what has being spoken . Rev 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
9.Revelation comes through knowledge in God's word and once we catch this revelation we are able to see hidden mysteries and secrets of what God has done . So what revelation are you seeing in His word ? Remember scripture - Matt 13:16 (NIV)"But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear."
10.What you see can only become a testimony when you appreciate God for it . Ten lepers where healed , only one was made "whole" because he returned back to give God thanks . Luke 17:17 (Amp)"17 Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine? Was there no one found to return and to give thanks and praise to God, except this foreigner?”




prayer : Father empower my eyes to see in Jesus name , Amen.

you are blessed.

"Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen."




10 KEYS THAT CAN HELP YOU TO GROW IN GRACE .


1. Love for God - you can never grow in grace without first loving the father of  grace with all your heart , mind , soul and body . The more you love Him , the more  you grow in grace to become like Him . Eph 5:1 (Amp)"Therefore become imitators of  God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their  father]; ."
2.Love for your neighbour - We grow more in grace , whenever we are faced with  difficult neigbours to love . The more we love them , the more grace comes to love them the more . (personal experience ) key - Is always easy to love those who love us , but the real test is loving those who don't even love us , that is grace .why? love remember no wrongs . 1 Cor 13:7(Msg)" Doesn't keep the score of the sins of others ."
3.Joy - you cannot grow in grace , if you are not a joyful person. Why? Scripture  admonishes us to always be joyful . phil 4:4 . without joy how can you draw out the grace in His word . Isaiah 12:3(Amp)"Therefore with joy you will draw water From the springs of salvation."
4.Grace goes along with patience . God is a God of patience and He works best in our lives when we are patient like Him.So I can boldly say grace comes when we become patient like our father "God".It was His grace , that helped job to be patient . James 5:11(Amp)" You know we call those blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] who were steadfast and endured [difficult circumstances]. You have heard of the patient endurance of Job and you have seen the Lord’s outcome [how He richly blessed Job]. The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful."
5.If you want to see grace at work keep a good attitude in the midst of your storm and you will see God's grace in action ."Jesus " . Key 1 Peter 5:5(Amp)" Likewise, you younger men [of lesser rank and experience], be subject to your elders [seek their counsel]; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another [tie on the servant’s apron], for God is opposed to the proud [the disdainful, the presumptuous, and He defeats them], but He gives grace to the humble."
6.Humility attracts grace . why? God simply loves those that are humble . 1 Peter  5:5 (ESV)"Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
7. Givers never lack because there is always grace available for more to give. So the more you give , the more you grow in grace to give more .2 Cor 9:8 (Amp)"8 And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance  to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity."
8.prayer - It was after Jesus prayed , He received more grace to face the death on  the cross . prayer increases our level of grace when done right .Luke 22:43,44 . (Amp)"]Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His [e]sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground."
9.Trust -God enjoys it when we simply trust Him. And what happens when we do that , His mercy (grace) surrounds us like a shield .Psalm 32:10" but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about."
10.Be thankful - (Key) - Any man who is thankful will always enjoy God's grace and will always grow in grace . Why? God loves those who appreciate Him for who He is . Psalm 50:23 (Amp)"“He who offers a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving honors Me;And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him],I shall show the salvation of God.”




Prayer - Father teach me lord how to grow more in grace in Jesus name , Amen.

you are blessed !!

you have helped his people and continue to help them.





10 KEYS THAT WILL ENCOURAGE YOU FROM THIS SCRIPTURE "OUR LABOUR OF LOVE "




1. It is a labour of love , because the love is not always reciprocal .bible says to love our enemies .meaning what ? those that don't even love us , love .Matt 5:44 (Amp) “But I say to you, [a]love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,."
2.It is a labour of love , because in it you will have to learn "forgiveness" .Matt 6:12 (Amp)"And forgive us our [a]debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go  of both the wrong and the resentment]."
3.It is a labour of love because most times , you don't even get appreciated for doing it .Jesus wondered in the book of luke 17:17 (Amp)" Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten [of you] cleansed? Where are the [other] nine?."
4.It is a labour of love because in it , you will have to learn what is called "Kindness "hmmm.... . Eph 4:32(Amp )" Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you."
5.It is a labour of love because in it you will have to learn how to hold your peace , when your flesh is screaming the opposite . lol..hmm . Jesus said in John 16:33 (Amp)"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]."
6.It is a labour of love because there is no way you will engage in it , without a sacrifice. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice . His life . Eph 5:25(Amp)"Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, ".
7.It is a labour of love because it will require your attention , teaching and giving proper guidance to your fellow brother /sisters in christ .At times you will have to go over it again and again, but don't be discouraged . Remember scripture says in Isaiah 28:10 (Amp) is one step at a time . it can't be done all at once . Amen."“For He says,‘Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,Rule upon rule, rule upon rule,Here a little, there a little."
8.It is a labour of love because your obedience to God's command is required .Deu 28:1(Amp)"Now it shall be, if you diligently listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all of His commandments which I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth."
9.It is a labour of love because it is in it you grow not from the outside. Matt 22:39(Amp)"The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].’ "
10.It is a labour of love because that is your ticket to heaven if you are willing to obey .why? It is a fulfillment of all the law and the prophets. Matt 22:40 (Amp)"The whole Law and the [writings of the] Prophets depend on these two commandments.”

Prayer: Father teach me how to love my neighbour like I love myself in the name of Jesus , Amen.

LIFE LESSONS FROM HE BOOK OF MARK 4:17 (NIV)

.



1. Despise the shame , if not you will always hinder the word from taking root in your spirit . just simply ignore the mockery/hate/despise and allow the word to do its work in your spirit man . Heb 12:2 (ESV)"looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
2.We live by faith not by sight . your sight (physical senses ) will never encourage you. why? Is never in agreement with GOD'S will for your life.

3.Increase your knowledge in the word . Why? What you know is what will protect you ,when affliction and persecution comes as a result of the word. Prov 24:7 (ESV)"If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small." meaning what you know is "small".
4.Pray without ceasing - prayer helps our spirit to remain fresh and rooted in God' word .When we pray we receive strength to overcome our challenges and hold on to God in the midst of our storms .
