What Is Man? (6)

  • If people operate in the physical and soulish realms but their spirits are not connected to God, they are as good as dead because they are not operating in their full capacity as human beings.
  • Our spirit allows us to connect with God. It is through our spirits that we hear from Him, understand spiritual truths, and receive Him into our hearts. (Romans 8:6)
  • Paying attention to the physical realm only will cause you to pursue temporary and intangible things. (Ecclesiastes 2:11)
  • Focusing only on your emotions will cause you to be misled because your feelings cannot be trusted (Before long, you might realize that you have made a terrible decision).

  • “The only way you can function in your full capacity and walk in God’s perfect will for your life is when your spirit is connected to the Lord.”
    “Are you connected to God and submitted to Him, or are you being controlled by your emotions and physical desires?”

    MEMORISE: And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:23

    What Is Man? (5)

  • The love that God has for man seems so unbelievable that the psalmist had to ask the questions in Psalm 8:4
  • Whenever I hear Christians say that they doubt in their hearts whether God will answer their prayers or not, I wonder if they truly know how much God loves them.
  • Romans 8:32
  • When you go to Him in prayer, know that you are speaking to someone who is willing to give you anything you ask for and who wants only the best for you (John 14:3-4).

  • “God loves you more than you can ever imagine, and it grieves Him when you don’t even realise how special you are to Him. Spend quality time with Him daily so you can learn more about His love for you and know the many wonderful things He has prepared for you.”

    MEMORISE: But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.Luke 12:7

    What Is Man? (4)

  • Man is very special because he has the capacity to accommodate the Spirit of God inside him.
  • Man was not originally made to be anxious about anything. It is the fallen nature that made us lose our joy.
  • You will experience peace and joy when you become the temple of the Most High God because Psalm 16:11 says that in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy, and Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God that passes all understanding will flood your heart indeed.

  • “Beloved, if you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you cannot be a part of God’s original design. The Lord wants to come into your heart (Revelation 3:20), and I encourage you to let Him in.”

    MEMORISE: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:7

    What Is Man? (3)

  • Another set of Christians who are not living in dominion as God intends are those who have grown spiritually but are still not conscious of the tremendous power they possess.
  • Some still fidget when the devil threatens them and see certain acts of dominion as being exclusive to ministers of God.
  • The Bible says in Mark 16:17-18 that every believer can cast out demons, heal the sick, and operate in dominion as God intends.

  • “The more you use the power and authority God has given you as a believer, the more dominion you can exercise, and the more it grows.”

    MEMORISE: But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.Hebrews 5:14

    What Is Man? (2)

  • Many Christians are still living under the bondage of the devil. They have dominion as God intended originally but fail to exercise this dominion. You cannot exercise dominion as a baby Christian. - Galatians 4:1
  • To really take your place as a child of God, you must grow in the Spirit by praying and studying the word of God diligently and regularly.
  • When you study the word of God regularly, it will push you to pray because as you study, you will find yourself longing to speak to the One whose word you are studying. Prioritize spending quality time with God daily by praying and studying His word.

  • “Some Christians should have grown spiritually to the point of being able to raise the dead by virtue of God’s anointing upon their lives, yet they do not have the courage to lay hands on someone suffering from a headache.”

    MEMORISE: As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:1 Peter 2:2

    What Is Man? (1)

  • If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have become greater than everything in this world (1 John 4:4).
  • If you can truly let go of sin, situations will no longer control you; rather, you will control them. The economy will no longer decide what happens to you; instead, you will thrive, regardless of what happens in the economy.
  • The foundation of every genuine solution to any problem you can ever have is in Jesus Christ. You must repent from any sin that may be in your life and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour if you are yet to do so.

  • “God’s original design is for you to reign above all situations.”

    MEMORISE: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.Genesis 1:26

    Freedom Of Worship (2)

  • God created all things for His pleasure. He created your hands to clap to Him in worship, He created your mouth to praise Him, and He created your legs to dance for Him.
  • Anyone, whether in the government, in your family, or anywhere at all, who tries to hinder you from worshipping God and giving Him pleasure will face His wrath like Pharaoh did if he or she does not repent.

  • PRAYER POINT: Father, please usher me into a new season of good health, prosperity, and complete freedom so that I can serve you without hindrance.”

    MEMORISE: The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.Zephaniah 2:11

    Freedom Of Worship (1)

  • Who or what you worship will determine what you become (2 Corinthians 3:18).
  • Some people′s eyes are always glued to their (gods) phones as they spend hours browsing through them. If they don’t have their phones with them, they will begin to panic and will not be able to function normally.
  • If your focus is primarily on material possessions, your social status, or even other people’s opinions, they can easily become idols in your life.

  • “Many Christians allow themselves to be trapped in the cycle of work such that they neglect their health, families, and walk with God.”
    ~Sincerely assess your current priorities to determine whether anything or anyone is competing with God’s place in your life; because they are pointers to the people or things you actually worship. ~

    MEMORISE: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.Galatians 5:1

    Don’t Ensnare Yourself

  • Everyone has the freedom of speech, but freedom after speech is not guaranteed. This is very true in the spirit realm. (Proverbs 6:2)
  • God doesn’t stop you from speaking, but you must be careful so that the things you say do not bring you into bondage.
  • Your words can put you in trouble. Be mindful of what you say.

  • “Be mindful of the words you speak, especially when you are highly emotional. Do not allow your emotions, whether excitement, happiness, anger, sadness, or frustration, to push you to say things that can put you in bondage and hurt your destiny.”

    MEMORISE: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. – Proverbs 18:21

    The Armour Of Light (2)

  • When you become angry and bitter anytime someone offends you, you are opening yourself up for spiritual attacks.
  • If you see through every hurt or betrayal that you experience, you will understand that the real target is your heart.
  • The devil wants you to allow bitterness in your heart so that when he is sending his arrows against you, they will have a place to land.

  • “When some Christians do not retaliate when people hurt them but rather turn around to bless them, the world will call them fools, but they know what they are doing.”

    “Protect your heart from bitterness so you don’t miss out on the glorious future ahead of you.”

    MEMORISE: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.1 Peter 3:9

    The Armour Of Light (1)

  • the world is a wicked place, and it can be easy for bitterness to creep into your heart. However, instead of allowing bitterness to envelop you, you must open up your heart to the light of God.
  • The word of God is light; let this light become an armour that protects you from darkness.
  • To put on the armour of light, you must cast off the works of darkness. You cannot overcome the prince of darkness when you have the works of darkness (sin) in you.

  • “Beloved, don’t keep malice, and don’t focus on people who have hurt you. (Ephesians 6:12). The real enemy is the devil, who wants to plant a seed of bitterness in your heart so you can be filled with darkness.”

    “Don’t let the devil succeed; rather, put on the armour of light by subjecting all your thoughts to the authority of Christ, casting off every sinful habit and meditating on God’s word at all times.”

    MEMORISE: The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.Romans 13:12
