Topic: Remain.
Today’s Scripture: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you.” Gospel according to Saint John chapter 15 verse 7, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
Message: In life, we all have ups and downs. There are seasons that are more difficult than others, seasons of testing, trials and temptation where our character is being developed and our faith in God is being strengthened. Sometimes it can feel like you are taking two steps forward and then three steps backward. But if we’re not careful, we’ll start thinking that life is always going to be this way. Don’t be in that shoe. God doesn’t want us to be living life like a roller coaster. He wants to bring us to a place of stability where we remain strong in Him. Jesus said, “I am the vine. You are the branches. If you abide in me, you will bear much fruit and your fruit will remain.” The word “remain” means “to be fixed, immovable, not affected by circumstances.” If you will just keep abiding in Him, just keep meditating on His Word, He’ll bring you through.
A day before my departure from Lagos Nigeria to Manchester UK, (Wednesday 24 November 2021), I suddenly developed very severe cold and cough with extreme body pain. I was tempted to cancel the flight with the Air France. After prayer of thanksgiving, I had direct assurance from the Holy Spirit that He would help me and heal me within a short period of time inside the aircraft during the journey. The coughing was so terrible and embarrassing, to an extent that other passengers, at Nigeria boarding gate were running away from where I sat. I was completely healed during the journey of about six hours inside the aircraft, as God promised. If you absolutely depend on Jesus Christ, He’ll make you strong, He’ll keep you stable, and you’ll keep moving forward into the life of blessing He has prepared for you!
Prayer for Today: Father, today I set my heart and mind on You knowing that You are good and faithful. I trust that as I seek You and put You first, You will direct my steps. I choose to remain in You and follow Your leading in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen”.
Prophetic Declaration: Listen to what Jesus’ mother told the people at the wedding ceremony that took place at Cana in Galilee, as recorded in the book of John chapter 2 verse 5. The Bible says: “His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you”. From today, you shall receive spiritual maturity to hear directly from the Lord. Ability to do whatever the Holy Spirit tells you to do is given to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
