COVENANT DAY OF EXEMPTION

24/3/13-COVENANT DAY FOR EXEMPTION

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR THIS MONTH IS:-I AM DESTINED FOR EXPLOITS (continuous Strange accomplishments /Jn 14:12

Today is our  Covenant Day of Exemption :-in which every member of the Winners’ family shall be renewing the mark of exemption from every plague, attach, stagnation, frustrations, any negativity  and assault of the enemy in the order of Exodus 8:22,23:-

 By the anointing today, we shall be securing Exemption mark/ticket that shall make us touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.(1Chr 16:22).

2 Cor 3:18-we are changed into the same image from Glory to Glory-it’s not a static situation it is in levels

Before  we get anointed, let’s look at the word of God for today:-

Last Sunday, we looked at what is contained in the Word of God or what is contained in the container called THE BIBLE:- and we saw that:

1.   The Word of God empowers for exploits Ecc 8:4-where the word of God is, there is power

2. The Word of God is prophetic Eze 37:1-14-dry bones

3. The word of God is creative; Jn 1:1-3 …All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made that was made

-Gen 1:1-31….LET THERE BE

4.The word of God is reproductive-it is a seed that must be planted on good ground for it to grow into a tree and produce fruits thereof Psa 1:1-3

Today, we want to look at –HOW THE WORD WORKS

By a way of introduction, it’s important to note that:-

a)Spiritual Understanding is our greatest asset/advantage/stronghold/inheritance /secret weapon as believers in the journey of life

 Pro5:7-hear me now therefore, o ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth/the word of God

E.g. understanding the word of God empowers our access to divine favour among others :-

 Pro13:15-Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard

Psa 30:5-7For His anger endures but a moment: in His favour is life: weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.  Lord by they favour thou has made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face…

b)Therefore, the depth of our spiritual understanding determines the level of results we enjoy.  When Jesus was 12 years, as a family, they went for the feast of Passover to Jerusalem.  After the celebrations, Mary and Joseph left for home.  On the way, they could not trace their son Jesus and so they returned back to look for Him. After looking for Him for 3 days, they found Him in the temple sitting in the midst of Doctors, hearing them and asking them questions:

 Luke 2:47..And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers

Psa 119:144…give me understanding, and I shall live

M{13:8} But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold

THE TOPIC FOR TODAY IS: HOW THE WORD WORKS

Everything  assumes resting /stagnation until force is applied, then it moves.

It is the same as the with the Word of God.  We must apply some force for it to work in our lives.

1:WE MUST RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD

Where: and how?

·       we must appear before God in Mount Zion and hear Him-Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God

·       We must meditate upon the word of God

·       We must study the word/books-Tim –study to show thyself approved, a workman that needs not to be ashamed

·       Associate with greater men –Iron sharpens iron

Jonah 1:17} But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.(this is where we receive the word of God/instructions for life/living instructions)

Please note, the word of God is a seed and therefore, we must receive it in good ,good ground of our hearts-the ground must be very well prepared: well weeded: well manured:well fenced for protection: well guarded to keep off  any intruders-(an example of farmers when they are preparing their lands for planting/to receive rains.  How much effort is put? And that is why we lift our voices and make known our expectations before God:-Open the eyes of my heart lord, I want to see you.

Proverbs {4:23} Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.

-thy word have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against you

Mat 13:23-But he that receives seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and spiritually  understands it: which also bears fruits and bringeth forth, some an hundred fold some sixty, some thirty

Mark 4:20 and these are they which were sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty and some an hundred

John 1:12 but as many as received Him(the word of God)-(in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God)to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.

WE MUST RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD-NOT IN OUR MINDS BUT IN OUR HEARTS (SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING)

2.WE MUST BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD

The word of God is Prophetic.  We must therefore it for it to be fulfilled.

Psa{119:89} Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

-He said to a man,arise,take up your mat and walk, He never fails Jehovah never Fails, He will do what He says He will do

-Num 23:19-God is not a man(His ways are not our ways/His thoughts are not our thoughts)(what do men do? They lie,pretend,frustrate,forget,ignore….,that he should lie:

Neither a son of man that He should repent..Am sorry I did not mean favour,honour,blessings.healing…No

Has He said, and shall He not do it? (What has He said in HIS WORD…I am the light/salt of the world: above only: lender to many:healed:blessed:a god  e.tc )

Has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? WHAT HAS GOD SAID CONCERNING ANY ARE OF MY LIFE?

Isa 55:11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I Please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I send it

Therefore, Blessed is she that believed for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord Luke 1:45

4.WE MUST PUT THE WORD OF GOD TO WORK

For every work,there is a reward.

Pro{24:14} So [shall] theknowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul: when thou hastfound [it,] then there shall be a reward, and thy expectationshall not be cut off.

ECC {4:9} Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

PRO 14:23} In all labour there is profit:

The Bible is a guideline: it’s a manual:  it has the rules and regulations: it has the how to use: it has the steps to take: it is a book of instructions therefore: we must act on it and put it to work as a lifestyle.

2Tim 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works

James1:22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only: deceiving your own selves:

Luke 6:46 And why call me Lord, Lord and do not the things which I say?

Mat 7:24-25 therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine(MY WORD) and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock.  And what happened? The rains came, the floods came, strong winds blew, and beat upon the house: and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock..

Pro4:10-13

4:SPEAK IT OUT IN FAITH

The spoken word of God is creative.  Therefore speak it.

Josh 1:8 This Book of the law(the word of God) shall not depart from your mouth(SPEAK IT/ALL THE TIME): but thou shall meditate(in your heart) therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make your ways prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.

Gen 1:1-31-in the beginning, the earth was without form and void, there was darkness …. But GOD SPOKE AND SAID:….LET THERE BE…..

Psa 81:10 I am the Lord thy God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt(where has God brought you from?)open your mouth wide(SPEAK AND DO NOT STOP) and I will fill it

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

Mark 11:23 for verily I say unto you.  That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be cast into the  sea: and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass: he shall have whatever he SAYS SPEAK!SPEAK DO NOT STOP

Lk21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay, contradict /oppose nor resist.

WHAT DID JESUS DO?

When Jesus was on the earth, He accomplished His missions by speaking….to the sick ,to the disciples-follow me and I will make you fishers of men: to the sinners-go thy way, they sins are forgiven: to the sick-Arise and walk : {9:1} And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. {9:2} And, behold, they brought to\him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. {9:3} And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This [man]blasphemed. {9:4} And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? {9:5} For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? {9:6} But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. {9:7} And he arose, and departed to his house.{9:8} But when the multitudes saw [it,] they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

THEREFORE SPEAK!SPEAK!SPEAK….THE WORD
