CELEBRATION

I believe it is celebration time across the body of Christ from now on. I was getting my son ready for school in the shower, I was more serious to be ready and all of a sudden he started laughing without saying anything funny so my spirit joined in in the laughter mood and while I was assisting brushing his tongue the words PRESS DOWN came out of my mouth. The Bible verse that came to my spirit was Luke 6:38.

Give, and gifts will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into the pouch formed by the bosom of your robe and used as a bag. For with the measure you deal out with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others, it will be measured back to you.

And by the time we moved from the bathroom to the room, I started singing this daddy Shoki's song "Congratulations and jubilation, celebration, in our nation" I felt the spiritual atmosphere of good things to come and to celebrate. Things may look the opposite way but it is time to press on so as to change the spiritual atmosphere of celebration to the natural for all to see and for God to be glorified.

You will see for yourself that your situation and circumstances will suddenly change from "so being difficult" to "very easy" What looks to you as a loss will suddenly turn into a gain. As you press on, wait and see with your very own eyes as new doors of opportunities begin to open for you.

You will achieve in such a short period what others will usually achieve over a very long period of time. Remain focused, as you take your giant steps, be watchful and be prayerful.

Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer life, being both alert and intent in your praying with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2

Get ready to be stretched out of your comfort zone. Your former understanding of things and God's character will begin to change the way you deal with people and with situations. You may be challenged but that will only help you move into another level of understanding that will cause you to be more effective. Your new level of understanding will help you brush aside some beliefs and religious practices that you no longer need. Allow yourself to stretch and know that you will not breakdown, you will only breakthrough in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out, spare not, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. Isaiah 54:2

Whenever you face trials, you are heading for an advancement. Never run away from trials, your trials may be your marriage, at work, in your community and among family and friends. It is not a bad thing, God uses such situations to prepare you for your next level that will be happening after such trials and if you die in that trial or find an escape route from your marriage, work or community then you may not witness that promotion or advancement.

Never consider your testings as a strange thing.

Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be people perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4

Your faith will be tested and your works will prove it to the glory of God.

The work of each one will become plainly, openly known (shown for what it is), for the day of Christ will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation, any product of his efforts whatever survives this test, he will get his reward. 1 Corinthians 3:13-14.

As you advance in the spirit, new power and authority will be upon your words and you are to be mindful of getting angry and carefully choosing your words. Your words are powerful, they can make or break.

Just as Jesus said unto the fig tree never to bear fruit again, our words also can uproot difficulties as well as cause things to wither. Our words together with our faith can make things happen.

And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. Matthew 21:21

But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle inoperative, nonworking word they speak. Matthew 12:36

Speak life into others. Be fruitful and no longer wither. Mind the way you speak negativity into the lives of others, we need to have fruitful thoughts and speak fruitful words. When negative words are spoken, they can cause wither to one's spirituality and creativity.

Many people are suffering because of the words of their very own mouth or the words spoken over the lives of others. Now is the time to change your thoughts and your words, identify areas of your circumstances that need a breath of life and begin to speak life into them by the power of the name of Jesus Christ.

God resides in us and we are His temple where the Holy Spirit lives. Remember that before Jesus performed some miracles, he first cleansed the temple and chased all that was not of God. We also ought to allow God to help us get rid of anything that will cause wither in our lives. Accept Jesus into your life and be free of all that is not of God. You can do this by faith, by simply believing that Jesus died for your sins, your past, your present and your future have been put into consideration by His blood.

God lives in you and you also have faith in you. With faith, you can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us.
