RHEMA From Heaven

The life of every believer is completely exposed before God. He sees every action and knows the true motive behind it. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”

You are not a mystery to God. He knows you better than you know yourself. This truth should lead you to live your Christian life with honesty and sincerity. To say one thing in public while secretly living the opposite is hypocrisy.

God desires truth from within. Do not appear holy when people are watching and then compromise when you think no one sees.

Many people today are deceiving themselves. They use church attendance, religious language, and outward behavior as a cover for hidden sin. This must not be your story. Walk with God in sincerity, remembering that He will reward every deed, whether in secret or in the open.

No one can outsmart God. You might deceive your pastor or your friends, but you cannot deceive the One who examines the heart.

Instead of hiding wrongdoing, admit your faults, seek help, and receive healing. Do not be a Christian with secret sin. Choose to do what is right in private, where only God is watching.

Read: Job 23:10 “But He knows the way that I take…” Friend, God knows every path you walk. You can hide from men, but never from Him. Many may deceive leaders today, but God still sees everything.

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to live openly and sincerely before You at all times. Amen.

The Christian life is a continuous walk with the Lord. No child of God is ever alone or left without His help and covering. Acts 17:28 says, “For in Him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’”

This truth should give you peace of mind and deliver you from fear in a dark and evil world. Your position in Christ prevents you from being a victim of demonic or witchcraft activities—unless you allow it.

Our opening text makes it plain that the enemy exists and has plans against God’s people. But those plans cannot stand because God is with His own. That is why Isaiah 54:17 declares, “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, says the LORD.”

Never live a single moment in fear as a child of God. Instead, walk in His plan and purpose for your life, and live in obedience to His Word. This is how to maintain your fellowship with Him and always overcome the attacks of the enemy.

Read: Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”

Prayer: Thank You Lord for Your unfailing love and constant protection over my life and destiny. Amen.

It is not enough to know God’s Word; you must live by it. No level of wisdom, success, or anointing can excuse disobedience to God’s clear instructions. Regardless of your position in life, your first priority must be to honor and obey God above your desires, your emotions, or your ambitions.

Your obedience proves your love for God and your confidence in His perfect wisdom. Whenever you choose your own way instead of God’s Word, you are declaring that your judgment is better than His. That is pride, it always goes before a fall.

Solomon, a man famed for unmatched wisdom, ignored God’s warning and chose to follow his own heart. In the name of “love,” he violated God’s command and married women who turned his heart away from God into idol worship. His disobedience cost him dearly. He lost his faith, his fellowship with God, and his kingdom. Worse still, his family bore the consequences of his rebellion as the kingdom was torn apart and ten tribes were given to another.

As you walk with the Lord, do not trivialize God’s Word and disobey it. What seems small today may open the door to ruin tomorrow. Your disobedience does not affect you alone; it can damage your household, corrupt generations after you, and close doors God opened for you.

Choose obedience every time. God rewards those who take His Word seriously.

Read: Isaiah 1:19 “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.”

Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to take Your Word seriously and obey You fully at all times.

Acts 17:11 declares, “These (the Bereans) were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily…”

How much time you spend in Scripture shows how much you truly value God’s Word. The Bereans understood this. Every time Apostle Paul preached, they did not just listen; they examined the Scriptures every single day to confirm the truth.

As a believer, you must be relentlessly Word conscious. God’s Word must saturate every part of your life. The Psalmist says, “…whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night” (Psalm 1:2). That is not a casual suggestion; it is a divine requirement for a victorious life.

If you are not daily engaging the Word, you are walking blind. You cannot know God’s will, His standards, or His instructions without searching the Scriptures. Many things will compete for your attention, but nothing is worth neglecting the Word.

Never forget: The Word is your very life. It is the source of your strength, your health, your prosperity, your promotion, your deliverance. It is the sure Word of prophecy and the only foundation you can trust in an unstable world.

Give yourself to the Word daily, and you will rise from glory to glory, strength to strength, victory to victory.

Read: Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be a diligent student of the word.

The Amplified Bible says, “Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” One of the greatest problems in families, churches, and workplaces today is selfishness. When people only chase their personal interests without considering those around them, they end up using people instead of loving and serving them.

Selfishness is a silent destroyer, a little fox that spoils the vine (Song of Solomon 2:15). It causes strife at home, division in the church, and tension at work. Ask yourself: In your family, do you put your spouse, children, or relatives first or is it always about what you want? In the church, are you concerned about the needs of fellow believers or do you only show up when it benefits you? In the workplace, do you focus on the success of the team or only on your own advancement?

Many demand kindness, respect, or support from others but never consider how they can offer the same. What do you expect from your spouse, your colleagues, or your church family and are you giving it back to them? 1 Corinthians 10:24 commands, “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of others.”

Over the years, I have learned not to use people to reach my goals. Like Jesus, I look for ways to serve rather than to be served. Proverbs 11:25 declares, “The one who blesses others will be abundantly blessed, and the one who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” If you want peace at home, unity in the church, and honor in your workplace, choose to live for more than yourself.

Do you bless others freely in your home or do you expect constant appreciation first? Do you give your best in church without craving recognition or do you serve only when you are noticed? Do you support your team at work or do you step on people to climb higher? Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition.” Ambition is good, but not when it crushes others. Never use people as ladders to climb up and leave them down. Selfishness might get you ahead temporarily, but it will leave you with broken relationships and unbearable consequences.

Beloved, life is not about “me, myself, and I.” Make your spouse matter. Make your children matter. Make your church family matter. Make your co-workers matter. This is how to live in the love of Christ and reflect His heart to the world.

Read: Matthew 7:12 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to live beyond myself and to let my life be a blessing.

One thing that must define your life as a believer in these last days is zeal for the Lord. Not just any zeal, but a burning passion for God and the things of His Kingdom. This was the very force that drove Jesus on earth. He carried such an overwhelming burden for the Father’s will that neither death nor reproach from His critics could stop Him.

Zeal is not a casual interest, it is great energy and enthusiasm in pursuing a cause. To be zealous is to be passionate, fervent, committed, dedicated, and wholehearted. These should be the very words people use to describe your walk with God. Anything less shows you are lacking true zeal.

If you are genuinely zealous for the Lord, you cannot hide it. It burns like fire inside you. It compels you to attend spiritual meetings without being pushed. It drives you to take up God’s work wholeheartedly, without needing human persuasion. Your zeal for God must be visible in your personal worship, your obedience, your service, and even your giving to the Lord.

When you are consumed with zeal, you will not tolerate what dishonors God. You will not stand by while things go wrong in His house. Instead, you will rise to defend His honor and to do His work with excellence.

Look into your own heart today. What truly consumes you? Is it zeal for God or zeal for something else? There is no neutral ground here. You are either burning for God or you are not. But if you find that your zeal is weak or missing, there is still hope. Pray earnestly that the zeal of the Lord will consume you. Take deliberate steps as the Spirit leads. Walk with people who are passionate for God so their fire can stir yours. This is how you enter the zeal lane for God.

Read: Galatians 4:18 “But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.”

Prayer: Lord, set my heart on fire for You, and let my life burn with unshakable zeal for Your Kingdom.

Long before we were born and even before we came to know Christ, war has been part of human existence. It is a war between good and evil, righteousness and sin, God and the devil. In this battle there is no middle ground. You are either on God’s side or the devil’s.

Apostle Paul urged Timothy: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1 Timothy 6:12).

As Christians, we must understand that this fight is unavoidable. You cannot sit on the fence and do nothing or you risk being overrun by the enemy. But this is no ordinary fight. It is not fought with physical weapons. It is a spiritual battle.

Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:3–5: “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

This fight is not against people or anything physical. We are up against demonic strongholds, deceptive arguments, and forces determined to corrupt human minds and turn hearts away from God. These powers want to see you fall, fail, and amount to nothing.

But here is the good news. You are not defenseless. As a child of God, you possess weapons infinitely more powerful than anything the enemy can use. Chief among them is the Word of God, living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). By declaring, believing, and applying God’s Word, you can pull down strongholds in your life, your ministry, your marriage, your finances, your family, and even your nation.

Now is the time to take hold of God’s Word and use it with unwavering faith to confront and overcome every power of darkness.

Prayer: 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to always engage Your Word and stand firm in faith in this fight. Amen.

Life is full of battles, and the Christian journey is no exception. Even though God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing, there is an adversary, satan and his agents who are determined to stop you from enjoying them. That’s why you must engage in the good fight of faith to lay hold of what God has given you.

Ignoring this reality is dangerous; it hands the enemy a clear advantage. Scripture exhorts us in 1 Timothy 6:12: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

One vital truth is this: battles are not won by sheer strength but by wisdom and strategy. Without guidance, you become easy prey for the enemy. Proverbs 24:5-6 reminds us, “A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge increases power; for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors there is victory and safety.”

God Himself is your ultimate counselor. Psalm 18:34 declares, “He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.” He instructs us through His Spirit, His Word, and the counsel of godly leaders. As you stay in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, meditate on the Scriptures, and follow divine direction through your pastor, you are fully equipped to triumph over every challenge.

Read: Proverbs 20:18 “Every purpose is established by counsel; and with good advice make war.”

Prayer: Lord, grant me the humility to receive Your wisdom and the discipline to apply it. By Your counsel, I walk in victory over every battle of life.

What you give your ear to has the power to shape you for good or for evil. Words are never empty—they impart something into your spirit. Faith grows by hearing the Word of God, and in the same way, unbelief and fear grow by hearing the words of men and the whispers of the enemy.

If you constantly receive the Word of God, it will strengthen your faith, give you courage, and fill your heart with peace. But if you entertain ungodly opinions, careless talk, or voices of fear, they will weaken your spirit and sow seeds of doubt.

Be deliberate about what you let in. Do not give room to idle chatter or words that tear you down. Whether it comes through music, media, or conversation, weigh it by wisdom before you listen. The words you hear will either build you up or break you down.

Choose to give your ear only to what uplifts and imparts grace, and you will enjoy an unending flow of strength and favor in your life.

Read: Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

Prayer: Lord, help me guard against words that will destroy my faith.

The world has set certain standards for what it calls joy and happiness. These include having food, clothes, shelter, a job, marriage, and other possessions. Because of this, when any of these are missing, people easily fall into worry, doubt, or feelings of worthlessness.

But Jesus, teaching us to rise above such thinking, said in Matthew 6:25: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

You see, nothing is supposed to get you worried in life. To be worried means to be in a state of mental distress or agitation resulting from concern, usually for something impending or anticipated.

You must know that worry is not from God. If not, He would not ask you not to engage in it. It is a device of the enemy, programmed to make you fearful, sorrowful, and anxious in life. Anytime you engage in worrying, you are allowing the devil to rob you of your joy in Christ.

Worrying is also a spirit. Excessive worrying leads to heaviness of heart. See Isaiah 61:3: “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…”

You must get rid of all heaviness from your heart in order to flow freely to wherever God wants you to be. When you are heavy in heart, you cannot think right to make right decisions in life. This will get you stuck in one place for a long time.

You must not take worrying lightly at all. Fight it out just as you would fight against any sin. Deal with it as you would with adultery or lasciviousness.

Always remember that God wants you free from worrying.

Read: Philippians 4:6: “Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”

Prayer: In the name of Jesus, I am free from the influence and anything that causes people to live a “worried life.” Amen.
