WELCOME TO JANUARY 2016: OUR MONTH OF FREEDOM FROM FEAR

Heb.2:14-15 and 2Tim.1:7

Fear is a very familiar word and experience in the physical world in which we live today. It has been a cause of concern to God and man since it first showed up in the Garden of Eden as we discovered in Genesis 3:10. As endemic as it has been in our world, there has not been any humanly possible solution to it.

Let us understand that this challenge is the cause of most of the crisis in our world today. For instance, the fear of poverty has driven many people into becoming workaholics to the detriment of healthy relationships that would have enhanced their lives like a loving and peaceful family. The fear of failure in ministry for instance has driven many ministers to an early grave against the counsel of God to rest and be refreshed.  The fear of loneliness has pushed many into the wrong marriages and in some cases; these experiences have turned out to be very fatal.

However, the greatest of these fears is the fear of death which has actually led many to an untimely death and bondages of various kinds. In fact all the members of occult groups around the world are held bound by their fear of being killed should they divulge the cult secrets or leave the group. In fact, the beginning of man’s secretive nature came with this disease called fear. When God sought to commune with Adam in Genesis 3:8-10, Adam had changed from the former open person he was and had become afraid and secretive. So he hid himself from God because with this new lifestyle, he could no longer stand up to face the Lord. I believe this is one of the saddest experiences man brought to God as it began a negative cycle of rising and falling for man.

I was listening to an audio account of the founder of the most intolerant religion on earth today and learnt that he started that religion so as to create a nation for himself because of the poverty background he had but unfortunately for him because every religion is based on demonic controls, it was taken over from him by devils and today, they are a major problem the world is trying to solve to no avail.

The big question is this; given the forgoing problems caused by fear and more, is there a way out for this seemingly insurmountable problem? The answer is a big YES!!! And that is the good news for humanity. However, only God has been able to provide this solution and He did so in one person and you can immediately guess who even if you do not know Him yet. His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him, we receive access back to God and consequently freedom from fear. When Adam was in union with God, he knew nothing like fear. When he sinned, he lost that union and became one with Satan (the most fearful being) and became riddled with fear. As long as man stays away from God, his fears would remain but if he takes advantage of this divine solution, and takes responsibility to be all he was born to be, fear will lose its hold on him.

We read in Hebrews 2:14-15 that forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Jesus also took part of the same by coming into this world as man so that he could die for our sins and through death destroy the one who had the power of death: that is the devil and deliver all who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. The result of embracing the Lord Jesus Christ is that we now receive a new spirit; not a spirit of bondage to fear, but a spirit of adoption whereby we can address God as our daddy. See Romans 8:15. Thus we can see here that fear is a spiritual problem that can only be solved spiritually.

Should you desire to solve this problem in your life today, I rejoice with you because the solution has been waiting for you for the past 2,000 years plus. However, you will have to take this solution by taking this first step of receiving the spirit of adoption by making Jesus Christ your Saviour and Lord. This month, we shall be looking at God’s wisdom from his word for actualizing our freedom from fear. Then you can receive more light on how to be courageous in the midst of fear and even move on to the point of fearlessness. Should you desire to take advantage of this great redemption, please say the following prayer out loud and you would begin the journey of your freedom from fear by being born again:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name!

WELCOME TO THE YEAR 2016 OUR YEAR OF DIVINE EXEMPTION FROM ALL EVIL

Exodus 8:22 and 9:26, Gen.47:27, Isa.60:2-3 and Eph.2:1, 6.

As the days role into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, one cannot deny the fact that there has been a multiplication of wickedness around the world as never before. In the year 2015, we saw more than ever the open demonstration of wickedness like the public beheading of innocent people in some parts of the world in the name of religion. We also saw the further corruption of our world by a manifestation of ungodly decrees made in the world and admitted by men of reprobate minds as the way things ought to be. However, the good news is that where evil abounded, grace much more abounds. See Romans 5:20. Thus in the midst of all the lawlessness, there is revival in some parts of the world like in west Africa and some parts of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Russia and Asia.  Let us also not forget that even though we are in the world, we are not of this world; we have been positioned by God far above all the evils in it and therefore exempt from them.

The year 2015 also saw the mass salvation of many Jews embracing the Lord who died for them as their messiah. For the natural man, things would not get better because we have entered into the time prophesied by the ancient prophets as the time when darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness shall cover the people of the world.  However, the Lord shall arise upon us and His glory shall be seen on us and this will cause those in darkness to gravitate towards us for answers and the result would be a huge harvest of souls into the kingdom of God.

As the world sees how God excludes us from every evil that befalls them like natural disasters, sickness, disease, poverty, lack and want, we would indeed become signs and wonders to them as God intends. [Isa.8:18]. When they see the way our lives are distinguished supernaturally because of divine guidance and a demonstration of the supernatural in our lives by the grace of God whereas the world is losing its grip on solutions more and more, they would be drawn to us to seek answers.

This year is going to be for us like it was for Israel when they were in the Land of Goshen. Whereas the Egyptians were selling their property to buy food, Israel was buying property. Whereas the Egyptians were plagued by the different judgements of God, Israel was divinely exempted from the plague.

Kingdom Heirs Ministries International and every ark of God in this season would be divinely excluded from the evil to come in 2016 as God has positioned us on earth at a time like this to provide solution of eternal relevance to mankind and help as many as would receive it, enter into the ark of safety which is the Lord Jesus Christ.

To this end, this year, we shall believe God for grace to see more people saved and established in faith. We shall embark on more aggressive soul winning and establishing efforts while helping other ministers and ministries prepare to harvest more people into the faith and nurture them in the faith until they can begin the cycle again.

Our business as a ministry this year would be to mobilize for this next great move of God that has already begun in some parts of the world and see that we take responsibility to see the manifestation of God’s glory in our lives that would guarantee his exempting us from all evil.

By the grace of God, our learnings this year will help us develop spiritually as it would take spirituality to actualize God’s plan for us this year and every time to come.

Rejoice brethren because God is set to release his greater grace upon us to really manifest as signs and wonders in this world to the intent that more and more people would be drawn to Him and be used of Him to bless others.

Once again, I welcome you to the year 2016, our year of divine exemption from all evils! Congratulations!!!

Someone may be reading this today that is not sure of this exemption in his or her personal life. I have good news for you; you can make sure right away by saying this prayer out loud from your heart and you will become born into the family of God and become exempt from all evil.

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name!

Amen.

Understanding the use of the blood for our deliverance/victory. Part 2

MESSAGES FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, 2015

Theme: The overcoming power of the blood of the Lamb and our testimonies

Message for Sunday 13^th Dec. 2015

Topic: Understanding the use of the blood for our deliverance/victory. Part 2

Introduction: Last week, we saw the origin of the use of the blood. Today, we shall continue along that line but with more emphasis on the purpose of the blood for our dispensation. In looking at the origin of the blood last week, we saw that in the Old Testament, the blood of animals was used to raise altars to God and to get victory based on the covenants the ancients cut with God and sealed with the blood of the covenant. In the New Testament however, the Lord instituted the Holy Communion after making His disciples understand that his flesh [the bread] was His life which He was giving for the world and the wine was his blood of the New Covenant which was to be shed for the remission of our sin. [Matthew 26:26-29; Jn.6:51; 1Cor.11:23-25 & Heb.9:12-15].

With this understanding, let us see some of the ways the blood helps us to work out our victory in the conflicts of life:

1.     The blood grants us access to God and enables us to reconnect to our maker so that we can be plugged back to Him: in the Old Testament, the blood of animals was used to cover man’s sin to enable Him access the favour of God and therefore receive God’s help to overcome his enemies. This is why Abel and his sacrifice were accepted because he gave blood on the altar but Cain and his sacrifice were rejected because there was no blood on the altar.

In the New Testament however, we have a better covenant. The blood of Christ does not just cover our sin; it removes it and makes us righteous as though we never sinned. It reconciles us back to God so that we are reconnected or plugged back to him like Adam was a part of him before the fall. Better than that, we are new creations with better rights and privileges than Adam had. See 2Cor.5:17-21; Heb.8:1-13 and Col.1:14. What separated man from God was sin. When sin is taken care of, man is reconnected back to God. As one with God, man can exercise all the powers of God and therefore win in all the conflicts of life.  That power rules over heaven and earth. See Matthew 28:18-20 and Rev.5:9-10.

2.     Deliverance is impossible without the blood: Israel was in bondage for four hundred years and when God tried to deliver them, all the plagues he sent against Pharaoh were resisted until blood sacrifice was offered to God and the bible says they were actually thrust out of Egypt because the blood brought judgment on pharaoh and all the gods of Egypt resulting in the death of their first and best. When Israel left, they left with substance. In the New Testament, the blood of Christ redeems us and causes us to be delivered from the domain of darkness and translated into the kingdom of Christ [Col.1:12-14; 1John 1:7 and Heb.12:24]. As the blood is administered by sprinkling today, I see judgment coming on your enemies and all your long standing challenges giving up on you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. What is meant for you that has been withheld until now, will be gathered to you in the name of Jesus! See Ex.11:1; 12:20-24 and 2Cor.5:7.

3.     Victory is made possible through the blood: Victory connotes that a battle must be fought and won. The victorious party is known at the conclusion of the conflict in battle by the outcome. No one can truly be victorious on their own; we all need God to help us and fight for us. To access the help of God, we must do first things first; we must go by way of the blood. See Heb.4:16; 10:15-22 and Rev.12:11.

4.     Eternal Life is only accessible by the blood of Christ: You cannot truly experience a relationship with God without first receiving the blood sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Eternal life is superior to the natural life and will always triumph over the devil while natural life is under the influence of the devil and is flesh ruled and an enemy of God. The natural life makes it impossible for the Holy Spirit to teach a person the ways of God. Therefore the person would be cut off from the wisdom of God and therefore live below God’s intended dignity for him or her. See John 6:51-58; 17:1-3; 1Cor.2:13-14; Rom.8:5-8 and Gal.5:16-18.

5.     Revelation knowledge is accessible by the blood: until the Lamb that was slain appeared, there was much weeping by John because the book remained sealed. When a book is sealed, even when you read it, you cannot understand its contents. In the same way, understanding is only accessible by revelation knowledge and therefore impossible without the blood. When light or understanding is hidden from a people, their weeping continues because they are confused, harassed and helpless. This is the description Jesus gave to sheep without a shepherd. This is why as a shepherd; I hunt for understanding every day and my heart yens to know as much of God as I could receive. In fact, the revelation of the word of God terminates the tears of men. See Rev.5:1-5; Hosea 4:6; Ps.119:144; Mark 4:11 and Rev.22:15.

More can be said on the blood but for want of space and time, we shall draw the curtains here today. Next week, we shall see how a combination of the blood and the word of our testimony make victory happen so that at the end, all of the blessings intended for us for this year that are still hanging will be harvested and gathered in with the help of the Lord.

Like we have seen today, access to eternal life and our triumph in the conflicts of life is impossible without the blood because the blood first cleanses us from the sin nature we inherited from our forefather Adam that made us become unacceptable to God like Cain. However, since the coming of Christ; all that can be changed by saying this simple prayer if you have not yet done so:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name!

Amen.

Understanding the use of the blood for our deliverance/victory. Part 1

Theme: The overcoming power of the blood of the Lamb and our testimonies

Message for Sunday 6^th Dec. 2015

Topic: Understanding the use of the blood for our deliverance/victory. Part 1

Introduction: The farlex English dictionary defines blood as the principal vascular system of animals carrying nourishment to all parts of the body and bringing away waste products to be excreted. The importance of blood in man and animal cannot be overstated as the bible declares that the life of the flesh is in the blood. In Leviticus 17:11, we read:

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”

Our general prosperity is tied to the prosperity of our souls. No other area of our lives has a right to prosper if our souls are not prospered because we can only be made whole; nothing missing and nothing broken to the extent our souls are prospered. See 3John 1:2. This month, we shall begin to see how the blood works in conjunction with the word of our testimonies to bring us victory over our adversary. Today, we shall be looking at the origin of the use of the blood for our deliverance and victory and why blood is required.

Origin of the use of blood

1.     God was the first to use blood and he used it for Adam and Eve when they sinned against him and had to be driven out of the place he prepared for them known as Eden. In Gen.3:21, we are told that God made coats of skin and covered them, but we are not told why. This was the first account where blood was shed and it was to cover man. In subsequent paragraphs, we shall see why.

2.     The next record of the use of blood was given in Gen.4:3-7 where we are told that Abel offered a sacrifice to God that was animal based but that Cain whose idea it was to offer sacrifices to God offered sacrifice that was plant based to God. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and rejected Cain’s sacrifice. There has been several explanations for the reason God rejected Cain’s sacrifice and accepted Abel’s. Let us see what God had to say about it even here:

“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

In verse 5-6, we are told in the message translation of the bible that: “Abel also brought an offering, but from the first born animal of his herd, choice cuts of meat. God liked Abel and his offering, but Cain and his offering didn’t get his approval.”

Putting these two translations together, it is clear that Abel got God’s approval because he lived and did right and this reflected in the way he honored God with his first and best. This is why many have seen this scripture as the source of tithing. I would not disagree with it because of the fact that tithing was also later referred to as the first fruits. God told the children of Israel to bring the first ten percent of their harvest to Him as the tithe.

Again, Abel’s sacrifice won God’s approval because his sacrifice brought the shield of blood that was required for atonement as we pointed out in the introduction above. See Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22 from where we are made to understand that blood is used for atonement and therefore, without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin. Thus Abel did the right thing by seeking atonement by way of his blood sacrifice and therefore, God accepted him first and then his sacrifice. Cain on the other hand, did not secure God’s acceptance because his sin was still standing between him and God as there was no blood on his altar to atone for his sin. God would not accept your tithe or sacrifices if you have not come under that blood first. This is why we must take heed to this mystery to enable us get the full benefit of our sacrifices.

3.     The Patriarchs like Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob etc, all offered blood on their altars to God to access His presence and voice to enable them cultivate any relationship with God.

4.     Under the Law, God told Moses in Lev.17:11 which we quoted above in our introduction that He has given us the blood upon the altar to atone for our souls. God however specified that the blood to be used for the Passover for instance must be that of a spotless lamb which typifies the atonement the Lord was to make for our souls before he came about 2,000 years ago.

5.     In the New Testament, Jesus confirms these truths in John 10:15-18 thus:

“As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father”.

He used the sheep as a type for those of us who believe in Him and said he was going to lay down His life for us. The reason is that when he lays down His life, His blood was going to be shed and that is what He was going to present to God in the altar of heaven to atone for the sin of Adam and his lineage – the entire human race. All who believe in him therefore would have automatic access to God’s mercy and just like Abel, would be accepted by God. On the other hand, all who do not believe in him would be rejected together with their works. This is the difference between religion and eternal life. Religious observances are seen by God as dead works while faith in Christ Jesus is seen by God as service to the living God. See Paul’s teaching in Hebrews 8:1-13; 9:11-26.

The result of the blood of Atonement:

From the foregoing, it is clear that with the offering of the blood of Jesus Christ to God, our sin is atoned for and when we receive this truth and embrace its demands, we are saved/delivered and translated from the kingdom of darkness where sin brought Adam to the kingdom of Jesus Christ. See Col.1:12-14 and Gal.3:13-14.

We shall say more on this next week. Meanwhile, anyone who is reading this that has not made a decision for Christ for any reason, now has a reason to do so. If you wish to take this challenge, please say the following prayer out loud and begin this faith journey that you will always be grateful to God for:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord.

WELCOME TO DECEMBER 2015: OUR MONTH OF THE INGATHERING

WELCOME TO DECEMBER 2015: OUR MONTH OF THE INGATHERING

Ex.23:14, 16; 34:22

“Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 

… and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.”

“And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.”

As we come to the last month of our year of Divine Establishments, there is no better time to call to mind the many good things the Lord has done for us to prove His faithfulness to His word for the year. At the end of last year, He assured us that this shall be to us our year of divine establishments. Even a blind person would observe that God has kept His word to us this year. 

He has graciously declared this month to be our month of ingathering. From our text scripture above, ingathering is a feast of the Lord the Children of Israel were commanded to keep in commemoration of the Lord’s faithfulness in causing them to gather the fruits of their labour at every year’s end. So far, this year, the Lord has helped us to embark a series of in reach programs to the body of Christ to help us become more established in faith. He led us to refresh ourselves with the foundational truths of the gospel and to start going out of our own fellowship to reach out to other members of the body of Christ with these truths. So far, our mission outreaches has touched the lives of ministers in the Benin Republic totaling about one hundred ministers representing ministries from 20 communities in attendance at three outreaches held in May and October respectively. 

We also recorded various testimonies from these outreaches ranging from healings to people finding their respective places in destiny. We embarked on series of outreaches in Ghana, the United States and Nigeria that saw the birth of a new fellowship Center for The Well-being Center in Badagry in Lagos State Nigeria. We also saw the hand of God at work as he enabled us to start another branch of Kingdom Joint Heirs Family Churches in Suhum in the greater Accra Region of Ghana. Earlier in the year, precisely in March, Kingdom Heirs Ministries Int’l was incorporated in the United States and presently, we are publishing the gospel through books and the internet here.

Also, the Lord has enabled us to purchase real estate debt free in Nigeria and Ghana respectively to protect us from the burden of paying rents when we do not have to. Time and space would fail me to itemize all the Lord has done that we are aware of. I believe that He has done more behind the scenes than what we could ever be conscious of in time. This year alone, we have embarked on several journeys to different countries both far and near and the Lord had protected us through them all.

We have chosen to number all what we can see the Lord doing and give Him the glory. In this month of ingathering therefore, our focus shall be on recalling all the testimonies arising from the word of the Lord to us and giving Him the glory for them all. To this end, we are calling for testimonies from every one of you who has been blessed by the word of the Lord through this Ministry this year so that we can celebrate God’s goodness with you. The more we testify, the more we would experience triumph. 

This month therefore, we shall be looking at a series I title: “The overcoming power of the blood of the Lamb and our testimonies.” This theme is drawn from Revelation 12:11 where we are made to understand that we overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies.   

As this year comes to an end, you shall witness the dawn of a greater manifestation of the presence and power of God in your life in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

If you desire to know the Lord in this intimate way, it starts with becoming a part of His family. You can do so right away by saying the following prayer out loud and you will become born again:

Heavenly Father, 

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name!

Amen.
