Thought For Today: Shout! It’s Your Month of Victories!
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:14).
Congratulations! It’s your month of victories – the set time for you to walk in extraordinary victories. Hallelujah! Beloved, victory is your birthright in Christ Jesus; therefore in this month, you’ll walk in victories and exercise dominion over the devil, sickness, poverty and challenging circumstances. You’re a victor in Christ Jesus; and you’ll win everyday and every time in this special month of victories! Praise the Lord!
The day you were born again, you were born into the life of total and continuous victory. Jesus’ death on the cross made you one with God, and ushered you into the transcendent life of victory. Some folks believe life is full of “ups and downs,” but that’s because they’re not acquainted with the vital realities of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a child of God, you’re called to live each day of your life in victory over every situation that you face. That’s the lifestyle of the believer.
Victory is your birthright, for God has raised you up, and made you to sit together with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). You’re seated with Christ “…Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21). You’re seated far above (not near above) the devil and the cronies of darkness, and the negative forces of this world. You’ve already overcome them! Therefore in this month of July, you must walk in the light of your victory; let it be your present-hour mentality that you are “undefeatable”!
You aren’t going to start walking in victory in the sweet by-and-by; now is the time for you to walk in victory over sin, the devil, sickness, death and the circumstances of life. As far as God is concerned, nothing in this world could defeat you, for “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). This is your hour to reign-this is your time to manifest all the victories that Christ wrought for you.
Daily remind yourself that “today is another day to experience victories”. It doesn’t matter who or what may stand against you this month, you are in for multiple experiences of supernatural victories in your life. This is the Word of the Lord to you. Hallelujah!

When You Pray, Prophesy!

Resource Center ⇒ Prayer ⇒ When You Pray, Prophesy!

When You Pray, Prophesy!

Pastor Chris

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy (1 Corinthians 14:1).

The Bible says "There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:4 CEV). There are several gifts that God imparts to His children through the agency of the Holy Spirit. But from our opening scripture, we can see that the gift of prophecy ranks above all the other gifts of the Spirit that you should desire. God wants you to have the gift of prophecy.

The gift of prophecy isn't just for pastors, prophets, evangelists and apostles; it's for the church! Every Christian ought to prophesy. To prophesy is to speak forth the Word of God in power, whether by foretelling of future events, or as a rhema-word to cause a change in the now! The Bible says "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church" (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). When you declare the mind of God in prophecy, others are edified, strengthened and comforted.

Moses, in the Old Testament understood the power and importance of prophecy and wished that all of God's children prophesied (Numbers 11:29). But thanks be unto God; now that we are born again and have received the Holy Spirit, we've received the divine enablement and inspiration to prophesy.

Consequently, whether you're praying on your own, or in the company of other believers, you can prophesy. As the Word of God wells up in you under that influence of the Holy Spirit, open your mouth and speak forth those words in prophecy.

If you've never prophesied, begin to desire the gift of prophecy. The Bible says the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man (not some, but all) to profit withal (1 Corinthians 12:7). This means you too can prophesy, and you can begin right now!

Cultivate The Inspiration For Advancing.

Click here to read full article and post your comments

…God…richly {and} ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment (1 Timothy 6:17 AMP).

Your success and advancement are God’s idea. That’s the reason He ceaselessly provides you with every good blessing for your enjoyment. This realization should inspire in you a new dream and passion for success, knowing that nothing is too good for you, or beyond your reach.

In the world today, it’s easy to identify two kinds of people; those who are inspired by their fear of failure and those who’re inspired by the dream of success and advancement. For example, in a class of several students studying the same course, you may discover that their motivations for being studious differ. Some study so they don’t fail; they’re afraid of failing. While there are those who study because they want to win the prize; they’re excited about making an “A” as it were. Now, notice that although both groups are studious, one is inspired by the fear of failure whereas the other is inspired by the dream of success.

Then also, there’s another group—those who’re haunted by their past instead of being challenged by the future. Always, they’re whining, grumbling and sorrowing about the past! They’re wondering what to do about the past instead of looking at the future and being challenged by another opportunity to stand strong and advance. So, it’s up to you to choose where you want to be.

You’re either inspired by your fear of failure or you’re inspired by your dream of success and advancement. This month, God wants you to be excited about the dream of advancement. Being inspired by the fear of failure will keep you at the same level for a long time, instead of blazing the trail for new frontiers. But those who are inspired by the dream of advancement always dare to press on. They’ll brave the odds and blaze new trails. Glory to God!

The world today needs men and women who are bold enough to play on the field. Men and women who are passionate about changing the status quo! Let that be you. Be inspired throughout this month and beyond by the dream of success and advancement. Praise the Lord!
