Spirit Of God In You
1 John 4:4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
4Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God, and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].
Life presents many challenges, but Christians are encouraged to remain hopeful because Jesus Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33). These difficulties, while sometimes overwhelming, serve a purpose for God’s glory if we love Him. We are not alarmed, and we are assured of victory because of the HOLY SPIRIT who dwells in and with us. Like the apostles, who felt fear at Jesus’s departure (John 16), we may also feel alarmed at times, but reassurance comes through the HOLY SPIRIT dwelling in us. John 16:7 says, But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counsellor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the HOLY SPIRIT) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. The HOLY SPIRIT dwells in true believers. GOD in us! This makes us to live a life of the supernatural.
The current state of the world is so alarming and causes people to be afraid and act in ways that is not Christ-like. Fear could be so alarming that if not checked could lead to depression, disillusion, and discouragement. Understand these are feelings based on one’s perception. We overcome these challenges through The WORD of GOD and the HOLY SPIRIT in us. As Christians you have already been saved from the corruption of this world and eternal damnation. The SPIRIT of GOD is in you and makes you an extraordinary being (associate of the GOD-kind 2 Peter 1:4). As Christians, do not respond with your senses but respond with your spirit which is now one with the HOLY SPIRIT (1 Corinthians 6:17). The SPIRIT of GOD makes the WORD of GOD in your SPIRIT active and powerful just like in the principle revealed to us in the creation (Genesis 1). In the same manner we are to create our universe in line with GOD’s predestined plan. Hebrews 11:3 – By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
Some Christians doubt the efficacy of GOD’S word and HIS power. Remember how GOD delivered you in the past. We have a loving and forgiving GOD. And like the scripture puts it in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”. GOD is more than willing to turn it around for your good to make you trust HIM and be all HE has planned for you to be. The SPIRIT of GOD (HOLY SPIRIT) in you guarantees your success and victory in this world (2 Corinthians 1:22). Let this be your consciousness and learn how to live and operate as the GOD-kind (2 Peter1:4). Be led by the SPIRIT of GOD always. God is shaping you to reflect His divine nature and perfection in Christ. Put your absolute trust in GOD and you will be amazed how you will be like a tree planted by the riverside that even when drought comes (the challenges of life) you will still be bearing fruit (Jeremiah 17:8). Let your focus be on fulfilling GOD’s will and purpose for your life. Don’t give up on GOD for HE will never give up on you!
Scripture meditation:
Isaiah 41:10; 1 John 5:4; 1 John 2:13, Romans 8:31, Luke 10:19; & John 16:33.
Prayer:
Glorious FATHER, thank You for your SPIRIT in me that causes me to live in victory always. I am born of the WORD and the HOLY SPIRIT that makes to function in the supernatural. HOLY SPIRIT guide me to be an expression of the FATHER’s Glory and power. In JESUS NAME.
Confession:
THE HOLY SPIRIT dwells in me – I am triumphant always!

Renewed Mind
Romans 12:2
New King James Version (KJV)
2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Many people identify as Christians without understanding its true meaning. Christianity is not just about rituals; it is about God expressing His divine nature through humanity (2 Peter 1:4). Recognising your identity in Christ and sharing in God’s nature comes through His word, enabling you to reflect His glory, power, and love.
The information a man receives or imbibes affects his thought life, which in turn affects his words and actions. This is what impacts a man’s lifestyle and destiny. GOD’s word impacts your destiny which is GOD’s plan for you, which HE prepared beforehand. The beauty of GOD’s word: it is Spirit and Life (John 6:63). It conveys the life of GOD; which transform, reconstructs, and recreates your life and your world. Through dedicated study, reflection, and engagement with scriptures, Christians gain profound insights into aspects of their lives that previously lacked clarity—whether related to health, career, business, relationships, or finances— that cause them to experience the promises of GOD. This occurs when one’s spirit is enlightened and informed. CHRIST JESUS in John 8:32 (NKJV) says “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The word of GOD gives insight and foresight into GOD’s plan for you as an individual. The word of GOD is the power of GOD unto salvation. This is the power that causes you to have good success and make your way prosperous. Psalms 67:2 (TLB) says “Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind.” Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to communicate the message of Christ, which improves the mind and in turn lives. The teachings of God provide clear guidance for our path, helping us avoid uncertainty and confusion. Just like CHRIST JESUS you always know what to do; when to do it; and the right time to do things.
The Christian is an epistle of CHRIST; but how can you be a message of CHRIST JESUS? This you become through CHRIST dwelling richly in you. For the word of GOD is powerful and when you give yourself fully to it, it transforms you into the mature son of GOD and the messianic anointing begins to manifest in you. This way you will save yourself and those around you. This way you are blessed to be a blessing. The world begins to see the glory of GOD in your life. Then your progress, uplift, successes, great victories, influence and affluence becomes evident to all mankind.
Scripture meditation:
John 6:63; Joshua 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Hosea 4:6, Proverbs 11:9 & Acts 20:32.
Prayer:
Heavenly FATHER, I thank you for sending Your Word in my spirit that builds me up and gives me the inheritance among the sanctified. I receive the Grace to walk in the spirit and in the light of Your WORD. In JESUS NAME. Amen!
Confession:
My mind is renewed for the WORD & the HOLY SPIRIT dwells in me.

Overcome Fear
2 Timothy 1:7
New King James Version (KJV)
7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Glory to GOD, we have been given the HOLY SPIRIT: A spirit that gives us power, love and a sound mind, with the ability to be calm, discerning of good and evil and to make the right call always. Not a spirit of fear which is of the devil. Fear is an emotion or feeling due to the presence of a negative situation or the perception of future negative outcome. This world comes with diverse challenges just like the pandemic, economic depression, wars and so on. However, as Christians we are of good cheer because CHRIST JESUS has overcome this world (John 16:33). For that reason, we have overcome this world, if truly you are born again. When Jesus Christ died, you died with HIM and when HE resurrected, you resurrected with HIM: THIS IS YOUR VICTORY OVER SATAN AND THE NEGATIVITY OF THIS WORLD.
Sometimes these challenges may be very overwhelming, but they are permitted for our good and for GOD’S Glory. Fear could be so alarming that if not checked could lead to depression, disillusion, and discouragement. Understand these are feelings based on the perception of one’s mind through their physical senses. GOD designed us the saints not to respond with our senses but to respond with our spirit through the WORD of GOD. All the negativity in this world today are just the manipulations of men by satan to bring fear. Through fear people can be controlled and in turn their way of thinking and their mind will be captured. Policies and laws with a false sense of security that are inconsistent with the Gospel of Jesus Christ will become the new norm, in order to frustrate the activities of Christians and turn many into the kingdom of darkness. Satan knows his days are numbered. His primary mission is to get many people into the lake of fire (eternal condemnation). The bible in Daniel 7:25 says “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law………”
A popular quote by Edmund Burke (a philosopher & states man) – “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” The word of GOD through prayer shall cause us to overcome the enemy. Let us not be like the unfaithful servant that did nothing with his talents (Matthew 25:14-30). To do nothing is to let evil prevail. Let us be discerning like Daniel who knew the times, and he prayed for the freedom of the Israelites in the scriptures. This is a time for saints all over the world to wake up to their purpose and responsibilities. The bible in Luke 10:19 says “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” The word of GOD encourages us to pray.
Let us love like CHRIST JESUS loves and renew our minds with the Word of GOD, that is able to give us a sound mind that shall cause us to walk in faith and overcome the negativity of this world. Let us wake up to the power of GOD at work in us, that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Let us take up the full amour of GOD – Ephesians 6:10-18 (not some of it but all of it). For the ministering spirits (angels) that are with the children of GOD are far more than satan and is cohorts of darkness at work in the world. Let us not fold our hands and allow satan influence mankind especially those in governments and places of influence. But through our prayers, prophecies and confessions we shall overcome. Let us restrain the activities of satan and carry on with the assignment of GOD’s kingdom and righteousness until we are taken away at the time of rapture (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7). Let us stay focused and know we shall come out triumphant over every situation, for it is working out for our good – THE OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD & THE HARVEST OF SOULS. Glory to God!
Scripture meditation:
Psalms 91, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 26:3, 1 John 4:4, & 1 John 5:4.
Prayer:
Righteous FATHER, I thank you for giving me the SPIRIT of power and of love and of a sound mind, that causes me to overcome the negativity of this world and fulfil your will and purpose. In JESUS NAME.
Confession:
I refuse to fear for the HOLY SPIRIT is at work in me!

God's Workmanship
Ephesians 2:10
New King James Version (KJV)
10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them
A Christian is one that is born of GOD. This makes you a new creation in CHRIST: the workmanship of GOD. The bible in 1 Peter 2:9 (AMP) says “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him …. GOD created us for good deeds that we should walk in them. From the scriptures, we understand there are also bad works. But unlike unbelievers we are for good deeds, and this should be seen by all men in our speech, conduct, actions, and lifestyle. A man’s works or deeds reflect the knowledge imbibed in his spirit. How can one perform good works when in the first place they have no knowledge of these works that are considered by GOD to be good? To perform good works as a Christian is to be knowledgeable of these good works. That is why GOD gave us the scriptures which will enable us as to carry out good works.
Just as the theme scripture puts it: GOD has prepared these good works beforehand and the scripture enables us to walk in them. The scripture tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ……., 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. The word of GOD and our fellowship with HIS SPIRIT (Acts 10:38) prepares and enables us to carry out good works.
Faith without works is dead and without faith it is impossible to please GOD (Hebrews 11:6). The good works of a Christian involves actions that glorify GOD. Our belief and trust in GOD are demonstrated through love for the kingdom of GOD and humanity. Our love for people especially the lost souls, our desire and contribution to see the kingdom of GOD spread all over the globe, the desire to carry out our GOD-given unique ministries. Going out to win souls and making them disciples of CHRIST (the great commission). Healing the sick, teaching your family and others to be obedient to the teachings of CHRIST JESUS (when your obedience is complete). Helping the needy especially those in the family of believers. Do not be Christians whose character, speech, conduct, and lifestyle are not of good works and does not reflect CHRIST. The bible in Hebrews 11 tells us of so many Characters who through their good works did great exploits and were so blessed. Let the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of GOD reveal your unique ministry; and the ability to carry out good works the FATHER has prepared beforehand. We are not saved by works but faith in CHRIST JESUS. We prosper in all things when we carry out these good works. For GOD is a rewarder of those that diligently seek HIM. Glory to GOD!
Scripture meditation:
Matthew 5:16; Psalms 139:16; 1 Corinthians 5:58 & James 2:14-17.
Prayer:
Heavenly FATHER, thank you for creating me for good works even before the foundations of this world. I walk in this consciousness through faith proclaiming your wonderful deeds, virtues, and perfections in this world that your name shall be glorified always. In JESUS NAME.
Confession:
I am created for good works for the SPIRIT of excellence is at work in me.
