No matter how sweet poison smells, once you know it is poison, you will not sniff it. Likewise, once you see something that can destroy your destiny, flee!

Devil ensures that his victims feel relaxed until the day of slaughter because he doesn’t want them to seek help. He always collects more from his victims than he gives them.

All gifts from the devil have sorrow attached to them; only God’s blessings come with no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22).

“Flee youthful lusts.”

MEMORISE: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; – 1 Peter 2:11

Do you know anyone who used to be a Christian but has returned to the world? If yes, what have you done to restore such a person back to Christ?

You might say that you have once tried unsuccessfully to talk to him or her about returning to Christ; however, have you tried again?

Will you allow the fellow to remain on the path to hell just because you don’t want him or her to reject your counsel again?

“Intentionally reach out, after backsliders today and restore them to the Lord. Keep following up on them prayerfully, and never give up until the Holy Spirit convicts them to return to the faith again. Just one more phone call or visit from you may save such people from spending eternity in hell.”

MEMORISE: And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. – Jude 1:22-23

As a disciple of Jesus Christ, being fruitful is primarily about leading people to Christ and ensuring that they grow and remain in the faith. A soul won to Christ is a fruit that brings eternal joy to God and also to you.

To make disciples means to teach others to follow Christ just as you are following Him. This involves preaching the gospel to unbelievers and mentoring other Christians with the word of God to help them grow in their walk with God. God wants you to make disciples; to reproduce yourself.

Begin with those around you – your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Share the love of God with them and invite them to experience the blessings you enjoy in Christ.

“When you do all these, you will be truly fruitful, and God will make you shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).”
“Are you truly being fruitful according to God’s standard?”

MEMORISE: Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. – 2 Corinthians 2:14

Success is a journey, not a destination. No matter how successful or prosperous a person has become, there are always greater levels to attain.

There is, however, a level of success that is greater than just being wealthy; (Psalm 92:12-14) A flourishing person is described as righteous, planted in the house of the Lord, and fruitful even in old age.

I encourage you to be like Apostle Paul; forget your past successes and keep reaching for more (Philippians 3:12-14). The path of the just shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. (Proverbs 4:18)

“God desires that you flourish (3 John 1:2). His design and perfect will for you is not only that you become prosperous in everything you do but that you keep flourishing until you leave the earth.”

MEMORISE: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, – Philippians 3:13

God wants you to move to a higher level of influence and grace. However, the question is, can He trust you with the hearts and ears of kings?

If you want God to keep taking you higher, you must not be greedy, and you must be compassionate.

You must also never harbor unforgiveness in your heart. Make up your mind to remain faithful to Him forever if you have yet to do so, and He will continue to take you higher.

“When Naaman came to Elisha for healing, Elisha didn’t take advantage of him (2 Kings 5:16). Likewise, when the king of Syria sent soldiers to arrest him, he captured them, fed them, and let them go back unhurt to their master (2 Kings 6:22).”

MEMORISE: And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: – Genesis 26:13

To subdue means to overcome and then exercise dominion.

According to Philippians 2:9-11, you can control situations and circumstances because of the name of Jesus Christ.

As a child of God, you have access to the name of Jesus Christ, and this means that you should operate in dominion – you should be unstoppable.

“Believe in the name of Jesus wholeheartedly and use His name to subdue any negative situation that arises around you. This way, you will indeed walk in dominion, and nothing will be able to stop you.”

MEMORISE: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:10-1

It is good to grow by addition, but according to Genesis 1:27-28, your growth should be in multiples.

As a child of God, you are not like everyone else; you are special, and this means that you are not only expected to increase but also to multiply in every area of your life.

To truly fulfil God’s purpose for your life, you should seek to multiply. He gave you the mandate to multiply right from the beginning of creation in Genesis 1:28.

“Don’t limit your potential by having a mediocre mindset about increase. Trust God to enlarge your coast exponentially, and by His grace, you will begin to multiply.”

MEMORISE: (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) – Deuteronomy 1:11

No matter what the case may be, I want you to know that you serve a God who can raise dry bones and make them a mighty army (Ezekiel 37:1-14).

Don’t continue putting up with what is not working in your life as ′God intends′.

Cry out to Him in prayer with faith in your heart, and you will experience a divine restoration to His original plan for your life, in Jesus’ name.

“PRAYER POINT: Father, let Your divine touch restore everything that might have been lost in my life.”

MEMORISE: And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. – Joel 2:25-26

God told David, ′Even if your son offends me after you have died, I will only discipline him; I will not take My mercy away from him. I will establish your throne forever, no matter what happens.′ (2 Samuel 7:1-16)

God’s pronouncement came just after David decided to build Him a house. This was something no one had ever done for Him before then.

In order to get an irreversible blessing from God, you have to do something that will touch His heart. God can bless you irreversibly when you do something that impresses Him.

Another person who can pronounce an irreversible blessing on you is your father. (Genesis 27:30-33)

“Do something really special for your father or a father figure in your life today, and ask him to bless you; from his heart.”

MEMORISE: For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. – Hebrews 6:13-14

Some Christians don’t enjoy some blessings God has pronounced upon them primarily because they are either ignorant of the required conditions or have failed to fulfil them.

God gave seven blessings to Abraham based on the following conditions: He instructed him to leave his country, kindred, and father’s house, but he took one of his kindred (Lot). As a result, the blessings God promised him remained on hold until Lot separated from Abraham in (Genesis 12:1-3, 13:14-15).

“Don′t not get carried away by the promises alone. Always take note of the conditions to be met in order to enjoy God’s blessings.”

MEMORISE: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2

Before God gives you some blessings, He will ensure that you have the capacity to handle them and that they will not harm you in any way or distract you from fulfilling His purpose for your life.

God wants you to prosper and be in good health, but that is only as your soul prospers and you increasingly become spiritually mature. This is why you must ensure that your soul is prospering by feeding it with the word of God regularly. (3 John 2)

The Bible also says that if your delight is in the word of God and you meditate on it at all times, you will be so blessed that you will be like a tree planted by the riverbank that not only brings forth its fruit in due season but also never has withered leaves. (Psalm 1:2-3)

“The more your soul prospers, the more blessings you will enjoy from God.”

MEMORISE: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. – Deuteronomy 28:2
