God is able to do Immeasurably Abundantly above your desire according to the power in you

Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.
EPHESIANS 3:20‭-‬21 AMP

Praise and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Glory be to God that we have a loving and caring Father, one who is caring and ever present to deliver.

Today’s scripture says that our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think about according to the power that is at work within us. Can you imagine that? Awesome! What a mighty God we serve!

Let it be made clear that if you are a Child of God then God’s power dwells in you and that is the catalyst for God powering us to the exceedingly abundantly above level.

May Jehovah God do exceedingly super abundantly above what you ask or think about. May you receive infinitely beyond your greatest prayers and imagination according to God’s power that is at work within you in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Honour your Father and Mother so that it will be well with you and you will live long

“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:2‭-‬3 NKJV

Praise, glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Honour thy Father and Mother so that you can tap into the blessings God has in stock for you. This scripture has its roots in Exodus 20:12 where God gave the 10 commandments to Moses. Honour your father and mother that your days May be long!

Let’s give reverence and be respectful to our fathers and mothers as the scripture urges us. Let’s keep esteeming them and holding them in the highest honour we can so the Word of God will be fulfilled in our lives.

The verse 3 of this chapter adds that after honouring our parents, we receive God’s blessings and long life too. That it will be well with us and live long here on earth.

May the Lord bless us mightily on all fronts as we honour both our physical and spiritual Fathers and Mothers. May we enjoy greater grace and the blessings of longevity that come from honouring our parents. Amen.

Pray at all times in the Spirit with all types of Prayer

With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.
Ephesians 6:18 AMP

Glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Hallelujah!

In the past few days we have looked at the various armour of God we need for our spiritual battle. Today we wrap up by looking at the importance of Prayer in the life of a believer.

The Bible requires us to pray without ceasing! Today’s scripture charges us to pray all kinds of Prayer at all times in the Spirit. Praying at all times calls for us being intentional about making quick brief prayers throughout your day.

We could make quick prayers without having to isolate ourselves from people and work. Once we make prayer our way of life, we can whisper to the Lord in the course of our daily activities.

This same chapter tells us to arm ourselves ready for spiritual battle, clothing ourselves from our head (helmet of salvation) to our feet(shoes of peace). That means that we should always be ready to battle the enemy in whatever ways he comes.

Our prayers must include intercession, thanksgiving and petitions for all of God’s children.

May we always be found standing in the gap praying all kinds of Prayer for God’s people. May the God of Jacob answer us from Zion at all times in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Take up your helmet of salvation and Sword of the Spirit

‭Ephesians 6:17 AMP‬
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

We continue our studies on the various weapons that the Lord has made available to us for our use. Today we take up the helmet of salvation and Sword of the Spirit.

The helmet is worn on the head for protection, all our thinking, thoughts and the majority of our five senses are on the head. We therefore need the “helmet ” to secure our salvation by checking us against things we see, hear and even say. Our thoughts and confessions can keep us or make us lose our salvation so easily. Another defensive weapon we need dearly.

The next weapon is the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This is the only offensive weapon among the set of God’s armour. It is the Word of God that can cut through every situation we find ourselves even through the marrow. The Sword of the Spirit should therefore be with us all the time by dwelling richly in us so that we employ it whenever and wherever it is required.

May the Lord help us to employ the weapons of helmet of salvation and Sword of the Spirit for our defensive and offensive spiritual battles. May we overcome and conquer every battle in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Take up your Shield 🛡️ of Faith

”Above all, lift up the [protective] shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Praise and glory to God for His goodness and loving kindness. Thank you Lord for a brand new day and for being counted among the living.

Today we continue our discussion on the armours of God as contained in Ephesians 6. Yesterday we looked at the belt of truth and the breast plate of righteousness. The focus today is to carry our Shield of Faith.

Faith is the basis of our relationship with Christ Jesus. It is our belief that has first qualified us as children of God. It is therefore faith in God and His word that will enable us ward off any darts of the enemy.

Our shield of Faith, our absolute trust in the God of Possibilities will repel all the lies, allegations and accusations that the enemy will fabricate against us to destabilize us and take our focus away from God.

May we receive great power and great grace from the Lord to be able to hold up our shield of faith at all times to repel the attacks of the evil one. May the hand of the Most High brood over His children at all times in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Be Clothed with the Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness and Shoes of Peace

‭Ephesians 6:14-15 AMP‬
[14] So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart), [15] and having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news].

Praise be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and celebrate His goodness.

Today’s scripture speaks specifically about putting on three of the armours of God. The belt or waistband of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness and the Shoes of Peace.

The belt or waistband of Truth requires of us as children of God to always walk in the truth, our yes should be yes and not a partial yes. Jesus Christ is the truth and life so we cannot lovers of Jesus Christ and not operate in truth. We must be seen as people of integrity, we can always be trusted by our words.

The Breastplate of Righteousness requires the children of God to live upright lives to the glory of God. The child of God must have an upright heart and must be in right standing with the Lord at all times.

The third armour of today is the shoes of Peace which requires that we carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. We strap it on our feet to direct our paths to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to all we encounter.

May the Lord grant us the grace to firmly clothe ourselves with the Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness and Shoes of Peace at all times to stand firm as Children of God ready for battle and to glorify our God in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Saved by God’s Grace through Faith

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].
EPHESIANS 2:8‭-‬9 AMP

Hallelujah be to God for this beautiful day. Awesome! It is amazing! Thanks be to God for His amazing grace that has saved us through Faith.

Glory to God for the fact that we did not have to play any role to get saved so that we might boast about it. Just believe and confess Jesus is Lord!

God in His infinite wisdom gifted us with salvation by having compassion on us and releasing His only begotten son to die to set us free from sin and death.

Thank you Lord Jesus for this great gift of Salvation, we cherish it and shall continue to hold it in high esteem for it is very precious.

May the Grace of God continue to be with us and sustain us in this great gift of Salvation till the coming of the Lord in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Ephesians 3:16 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Praise God for today’s scripture, the Apostle Paul prayed for the church in Ephesus and today we appropriate this prayer in Jesus name.

May we approach God’s throne of Grace to obtain help in the form of His unlimited power to accomplish His works that He has called us to do. We cannot do that with our physical abilities and skills.

May the Lord release unto us according to the riches of His glory the grace that we need to function as blessed people of God.

May we be strengthened and spiritually energized with God’s unlimited and glorious power through His Spirit in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Imitate God,Live a life of Love

Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another–practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.
EPHESIANS 5:1‭-‬2 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Our God is Supreme and worthy to be praised. He has gifted us with life and we are grateful.

Today’s scripture is requesting of us to imitate God. This is a challenge meant to shape our lives and enable us to live Christ centred lives. Copy the Father and follow His example.

Imitating the Heavenly Father who out of Love gave His only begotten son to die to save the world, requires a big heart. We are being called upon to demonstrate this love to one another practically. Love gives, so just as the Father gave His only begotten son, we should be able to sacrifice for others.

We should seek the interest of others as we imitate the Father. The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross to save ALL gives us another example of sacrifice and love that is expected of us. May the Lord help us in Jesus name.

May the Lord help us to seek the best for others as we imitate Him. Help us Lord to walk continually in love so that we can abide by the scriptures. Be our guide in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

We are God’s Workmanship and Masterpiece created for Good Works

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above–spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

with all humility [forsaking self-righteousness], and gentleness [maintaining self-control], with patience, bearing with one another in [unselfish] love.
EPHESIANS 4:2 AMP

Praise and glory to the King of Kings for this beautiful day, rejoice and celebrate His goodness today.

Praise God for the life of Apostle Paul, a great charge to the Ephesus church and by extension to us today.

Child of God, live a life worthy of the calling of God. God should be proud that this is my son or daughter. This certainly will depend on how we live and interact with others.

Have respect for each person so that in our interactions Love becomes paramount, in this we need to be humble as in some cases we would have to drop that ego a little to be able to show love.

We need to be gentle in our interactions, that portrays the respect we show towards people. Be patient with one another, this is a virtue we must possess at all times even in the midst of challenges.

Our ability to live with all people in the manner advised by Apostle Paul will bring great peace and joy to all mankind and the world will be a better place.
