RHEMA From Heaven

Having results in life as a Christian is dependent on how you engage your faith. Knowing how to release your faith through works is what will give you victory in every aspect of your life.

Faith is not as mysterious as some think. Faith is also not something for the selected few. Faith is simply knowing God’s word- his promises concerning your life and making it your own.
Thus, before you can exercise your faith, you must know the word of God, you must believe it, and you must demonstrate it in your works.

You see, believing in the promises of God, whether in the area of healing, deliverance, prosperity, marriage, etc., won’t do you any good until you take a corresponding action.
For instance if you believe you are healed, you don’t confess sickness, you confess healing and health, and you start to do what you couldn’t do before.
Also, if you believe you’ve been made prosperous, you talk and take actions in that light.

Don’t say you believe God’s word, and deny the word expression in your works.

Read: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Prayer: Lord, i pray for grace to back my faith with corresponding actions.

Living by faith is the surest way to receive anything from the Lord. As Christians, its our mandate to walk by faith since it is the only way to please our Heavenly Father .

The Bible or the word of God contains promises on every subject and on every single detail of our lives. But how can we receive or have access to all these promises? It’s only through faith!

You see, it’s by faith that the people of old obtained the promises of God.
GThey obeyed the word of the Lord concerning their lives without wavering.

Taking God by his word and acting on it is what brings us the results we desire. Nonetheless, believing God doesn’t mean the absence of challenges or temptations to doubt. Rather it is staying strong and holding on to the promises in the face of all these challenges.

What are you believing God for today?
Never give up! Study the word. Build your faith. Confess the word and live it out.

Read: Hebrews 10:38 “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

Prayer: Lord, I pray that with faith i will patiently receive every promise of God concerning my life.

There are many ways you can take in life. Nonetheless, the way of love stands out. You can call it the linchpin, because it holds the rest together.

Following the way of love means you follow the teachings or the values of love.
The Bible says love is patient, kind, and selfless (1 Corinthians 13). Thus, any time you exercise kindness, patience, and selflessness in your dealings with people, you are on the way of love.

You see, following the way of love must be independent of what people do to you or what you feel especially in relation to hurts and pains suffered in dealing with people.

In following the way of love, you must hear and give in to the voice of the Holy Spirit in you because the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by Him.
Never allow your flesh, or your human nature to make you go off the way of love.

Read: Romans 12:10 “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to always follow the way of love.

As Christians, God expects that we speak ill of no man. James 3:2 tells us that we have control over our body once we have control over our speech.

Thus one virtue you must practice in life when it comes to what you say, is “NEVER SPEAK EVIL OF ANY MAN”.
Titus 3:2 makes this truth more clearer. “Speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men”.

To speak evil of no man demands that don’t utter or make defamatory statements injurious to the reputation or well-being of other persons. It means that, you must not practice slander, gossip, backbiting or give false accusations about people.

You see, words are such that, any word carelessly spoken cannot be taken. Thus any bad information you pass out about someone even in a passive way can go a long away to destroy the person or ruin their future.
Today there are many people hurting and suffering because of something that someone said about them.

Not only that, many meaningful relationships have being crushed because of slander.
Proverbs 16:28 says “A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends. How many times have people become alienated because of slander other people spread about them?

From today, be a master of speaking. Let no evil proceed of your mouth about someone.

Read: Psalms 101:5 “Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy”.

Prayer: Lord, I pray this day for grace to keep my tongue from speaking evil of people.

One important thing that characterizes the life we live is “reaping what we sow”. This makes life more like a “harvest”.

This is the very reason why the Bible admonishes us to sow good seeds (things) in life. As a Christian you must decide on the kind of seeds you want to sow today because no seed sown dies without manifesting in the near future.

You see, it will just be a matter of time and every seed sown- whether good or bad, will show up. In fact, it will be gradual, little by little but will without fail come up.

As a Christian, you have access to the Spirit of God and the word of God that will direct you as to what to do, how to do them, and thus, sow good seeds in life.
Galatians 6:8 says “whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life”.

Don’t be led by the flesh to sow wrong seeds.
People who never consider this simple rule will jeopardize their future. Remember every choice is a seed, every action is a seed whether seen by people or not, you will one day live to reap them.
Sow better things and you will be glad you did.

Read: James 3:18″ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for wisdom and grace to sow better things in order to reap it’s corresponding benefits.

In the scripture above, Jesus showed the tremendous power in the words we speak.
This truth was made known to the disciples after Jesus had spoken to a fig tree that dried up afterwards.

You see, when Jesus spoke to the tree in the natural, nothing happened. That’s why the disciples never questioned Jesus.
See Mark 11:14 -Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

Nonetheless, as they passed the next day, the tree had died out. Mark 11:20 says “In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots”
Meaning that, when the “words” were released something happened spiritually. The tree actually died out. It just needed time to manifest.

As you go about your Christian life, know that there is power in the words you speak. You can speak your healing, deliverance or blessings. Never speak words that will hold you in bondage.

Read: Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit”

Prayer: Lord, I pray that henceforth I will speak the word to command things to my favor.

Nonetheless, not every prayer gets the believer the desired results.
For you to receive whatever you pray for or for you to have your requests granted by the Lord, it must be preceded with the right motives in your heart.

You see, you can’t pray with wrong motives in your heart and still expect God to deliver. The amplified Bible puts it this way: James 4:3 “You ask [God for something] and do not receive it, because you ask with wrong motives [out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda], so that [when you get what you want] you may spend it on your [hedonistic] desires”.

God’s commitment to answering your prayers is also dependent on the condition of your heart and how you intend to make use of the results.

To have answer to your prayer of request, pray with the right motives, pray in line with the will of God and always have it at heart to use what you get in prayer for the right things.

Read: James 4:3 “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures”

Prayer: Lord, I pray that by your word my prayers will be aligned with your will.

Our opening text teaches that walking with God demands learning, keeping what you learn and practicing them.
This is how you can do exploits in life and also please God.

The Christian life is not about a “name tag” or playing religion. It is a life lived in agreement with divine truth. In fact, it is living out the life of God in you.

Nonetheless, it will take learning to know what you ought to do as a Christian. That’s learning the word, which reveals the will of God.

Not only that, you have to keep the word in your heart (Psalm 119:10-11). In other words, you must let the word dominate your being so that it’s influence will be a free flow. The word dominating your heart, brings you into practicing the word.

The truth of learning, keeping and practicing the word must be your hallmark.
Don’t be an ignorant believer. Know the word, and do it.

Until you give in to doing what the word says, you will be limited in life and even miss out on God’s will for your life.

Read: Matthew 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

Prayer: Lord, I pray for grace to learn, keep, and do your statutes and commandments.

Our opening text gives an account of a prayer said by a man named Eliezer of Damascus. He was not only a faithful man to his master Abraham, but also a prayer warrior.

This man was tasked by his master to find a wife for his son Isaac. Not so much an easy task but he just did one thing ; he prayed. He prayed his way through the situation, believing God to receive an answer.

In Genesis 24:25, bible says and he bowed his knees and worshiped the Lord for he has received an answer to his prayer. Meaning that God heard the petition of the man and answered him speedily. He found a wife for his master’s son Isaac, right among their relatives. What a miracle!

Know that prayer changes things. In the womb of prayer impossible situations are turned around, miracles are birthed, and life is given to hopeless situations.

Whatever situation you are faced with today, don’t fret, do not throw in the towel yet. Pray! Pray and believe in your prayers, for God is working behind the scenes to give you a miracle!

Read: Psalm 65:2 “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come”
