Do Not Settle For Less!

Hi everyone,

In my last two write-up’s we’ve come to understand that we really don’t have giants in our lives, what we have is a lack of relationship with Jesus Christ, because the more we relate deeper with Christ, the more His life and authority is expressed in everything we do, and the giants we thought we had becomes so minute and irrelevant till they fade away eventually, because there is a greater authority that lives in you. However, having a relationship with Christ, and seeing our giants fade away is not something that happens within a twinkle of an eye, rather, it takes a lot of commitment and consistency to see giants fade away. One reason is because of our mind, what it was used to, the level of the unknown about who Jesus really is, and our environment. All these are reasons why commitment and consistency are really needed. So, what do we really need to do in not giving up, and allowing our minds to remain consistent?

Several times, I’ve said we should meditate on the word of God day and night, and just like that, you’ll see all your troubles run away. Yeah, that’s true when I put it on fast forward, but one thing to take note of is that we are already victorious and successful in whatever area we feel is a challenge. This is not being positive, rather it is because of Jesus who is already victorious above all things that are why we are victorious, and we are in Him, and He in us, what we have to work on is our mind in accepting this truth, which the devil doesn’t want us to believe.

Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.” AMP. What does this mean? It means that just as you are renewing your mind, the devil is bringing all sort of distractions to ensure you don’t get transformed. If you have a financial challenge, and the Lord put in your heart to sow a seed, the devil reminds you that you would be broke after sowing the seed. He would bring up many reasons why you shouldn't do what the Lord asked you to do (this is very different from false prophets extorting church members).

A person could have a health challenge and after confessing, declaring and believing in your heart that you are healed, the symptoms of the illness surfaces, and devil tells you not to deceive yourself and accept that you have whatever ailment was bothering you. Or maybe in a relationship with your husband or wife, you’ve been having series of unhealthy arguments, and the devil brings up the idea of divorce and all of a sudden, you meet someone who is so sweet and nice, and happen to meet your need at the moment, that which your spouse wouldn’t have done. All these and more are the attacks the devil displays, and the first thing that crosses your mind is, “maybe I’ve done something wrong, that is not making my confession work”, or something like that. The devil makes you doubt yourself because you know the word of God is true, and if it is true, then the fault has to come from you.

Well, I’ll tell you and shout it to you if possible, DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS!!! What do I mean? Once the Lord has said through His word that you are healed, then you are healed. Once the word of God says you are blessed with all spiritual blessings, then you are blessed. Once the Lord says He will always meet us in our time of need, then take your marriage to the Lord for guidance, and many others. The moment any idea contrary to the word comes up in whatever form, IT IS FROM THE DEVIL.

You must hold on to what the word says, no matter how stupid it sounds. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in to strengthen, guide, and direct us.

In conclusion, you have to be violent because only the violent take what is theirs, and you have to be the one who gets it. The Lord has said it, therefore it is a done deal, signed, sealed, and delivered, case closed. Log on same time tomorrow as I write on part two on this topic.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
