Why Is He Beyond Every Virus?

Happy Sunday everyone,

Today, I am really out to push how we are not under the power and authority of the devil unless we allow the idiot to, [the use of the word ‘idiot’ implies the devil, as used in this write-up]. The idiot doesn’t have any power anymore, please let us know and believe this. But nevertheless, if you’re still uncertain about this, the question now is, why are you conscious of the powers of the idiot, which is if the idiot has any powers, because, the idiot isn’t and CAN NEVER be on the same level with Jesus, [which even to write this is an insult on the part of Our Lord].

The first reason is that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus, which He Himself said Matthew 28:18. And Apostle Paul broke this further in Philippians 2:9-11 which says Jesus has been given a name which is above every name (which includes covid-19). The name of Jesus is so powerful that at His name knee bows (covid-19 bows), in heaven, earth, and under the earth. And this same Jesus sent His Spirit to dwell in us, which is His person. So, what do you think the idiot sees first when it approaches you? Jesus! Who is the One Person the idiot fears tremendously. But when the idiot sees that you don’t know who you are or the power you possess, the idiot capitalises on the area you haven’t renewed through deceit, just for one purpose, which is for you to confess its deceit into reality.

Again, Isaiah 53:4-5 says on the cross Jesus bore all our infirmities and diseases which include covid-19. In His resurrection, all authority was given to Him, which is what He has given to all who believe in Him. We have to believe in the authority of Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Jesus).

Never forget one thing, death and life are in the power of the tongue, (ref.: Proverbs 18:21). Thus, whatever we say are either bringing to life a thing or causing the death of a thing, and if we see the deceit the idiot brings towards us as real, it would become real, because the idiot doesn’t have the power to create nor any power for that matter, but we do have the authority of Jesus and should understand that the authority of any virus is under the authority of Jesus.

The first thing we must know is the supremacy of the name of Jesus, and we should believe it in faith and confidence, and not in fear, because if we don’t know any scripture what so ever, the name of Jesus when called in faith is sufficient for us. The name of Jesus is enough to resist the idiot, where Apostle James said the idiot would flee from us, (ref.: James 4:7). All we just need to do is have so much confidence in the name of Jesus, that He is the solution to all your problems. Nothing, I mean NOTHING can stand the presence of His name. But calling His name in fear is acknowledging the other thing as powerful, as or more powerful than His name, which is an insult beyond words.

This is why meditation on the word of God is extremely important, in order to know who He is. It is all about Him, and not about us even for a second. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus because every other thing is a distraction, (ref.: Hebrews 12:2). And when you’re in Christ Jesus, no other power exists. Just keep bragging about the greatness and the awesome power of His name, this is why praise and worship are very important because it strengthens your faith so much. And strengthens your confidence and trust in Him.

I don’t know about you, but my Jesus didn’t die for nothing. His death, burial, and resurrection have given me the greatest freedom my mind cannot get enough of. Jesus is my everything, He is more than the purest of gold. He is the best and would always be the best decision I ever made.

Remember, be led the Holy Spirit in the power of the Lord Jesus, and not by your ego and foolishness.

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!

Log on next time.

What You Should Know During This Pandemic

Hi everyone,

I first published this write-up on the 22nd of September, 2017 titled "There Is a Secret Place", and I felt this should be republished in the season we are in, to strengthen you all. God bless you.

I went through Psalm 91:1-2, which is quite popular, and it says, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”” I always quoted these verses, especially verse 1, but there is a thing to quote a scripture verse and another thing to properly understand what it means especially in this new dispensation of the finished work of Jesus. If you’ve been following my blog what I’m about to tell you is just to refresh your memory.

I started with the keyword “secret place”, which some other translations put as “shelter”. A shelter is a safe place where no danger could come, and now this is not just a shelter, but a shelter of the Most High God. Then the verse continues saying the person who dwells in the secret place would abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Now, the keyword in the second part of verse 1 is “shadow”. To abide under the shadow implies the person is covering you like a shade, and in this case, the shadow serves as protection in the sense of nobody seeing you but the Almighty. Verse 1 being a powerful verse made me understand to what length God has decided to protect us.

Colossians 3:3-4 which explains how as we switched over to a brand new life by being born again, our lives are now hidden in Christ and verse 4 explains how Christ then becomes our lives. This then explains what Psalm 91:1 really means, as we died, our new life which is under Christ became hidden in Christ, which means Christ became our "us", so if anyone is coming to challenge you, they don’t see you, it is Christ they meet because He has chosen to become our lives.

So, what challenges are you facing today, just name it? Is it sickness, poverty, depression, marital issues, stress, they all have a name and the One whose name is above every and any other name is your protector and covering, the one whom they would meet if they intend to attack you. Just know that Jesus is standing as you protecting you from anything that isn't from God, this is why verse 2 came about which says, “I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.””. It is after the experience of verse 1 that the person in question would be able to testify that God Almighty is his/her refuge and fortress, the One whom he/she would trust. But the question here is, does this happen automatically, what do I mean by that?

The beginning of verse 1 of Psalm 91 says, “He who dwells…” which implies it is a choice we have to make for ourselves, and this can only happen if you’re ready to trust God. His ways may seem not to make sense, but remember, He is God Almighty who knows the end from the beginning. Humility is when you cast all your burdens upon Jesus, in other words letting go and allowing God to take over your life.

The creator can never make a mistake and the great news is that He put you in Himself, which shows someone who cares. Trust is always the keyword, what do you have to lose? It’s not like your ways were better in the first place. Learn to trust God and you would enter the high incomprehensible level of God has always had for you.
