ROMANS 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Christianity is called the great confession. It heads up in Christ by the way He confessed and next it comes to us by our bold declaration of the utter truthfulness of the living Word. The law of that confession is that I confess I have a thing before I consciously possess it. In other words, faith requires us to speak before we see or feel the results. Your confession is your present attitude towards the Father. If it is positive, your attitude towards the Father is positive. If your confession is negative, it is unbelief dominating your heart. Unbelief grows with negative confession. The Word of God coming out of your lips produces an overcoming Spirit in you. Your spirit always responds to your confession. If your confession is neutral, your faith is neutral and neutral confession is just as bad as unbelief. A confession of failure puts failure on the throne. If I confess sickness, I am held in bondage by it. Faith never goes beyond our confession. As far as our confession goes is as far as faith goes because faith does not ask for the possible, it demands the impossible. When you speak faith,you launch out into the realm of the impossible just like Abraham did when he asked for a child in old age. As a Christian, when you realise that you can never rise above the level of your words, you are getting to the place where God can really use you.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10). In Mark 11:23 Jesus said, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; AND SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HISHEART, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. From this scripture, we understand that doubting in your heart dissipates faith. Your mind may raise doubts and say, “How do you think it’s going to work?” That doesn’t mean you’ve doubted in your heart. Faith will work in your heart,even whilst there’re doubts in your mind. The doubt that messes up your faith is the one that comes from your heart. When arguments, theories, and reasons arise in your mind against what you’ve believed and laid hold of by faith, all you need do is pull them down with God’s Word (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Declare boldly and loudly that those things your spirit has taken possession of are yours already, and no devil can take them away from you. On the other hand, if there’s doubt in your heart, it’ll nullify your faith and cause you to lose what your faith hitherto possessed. What you need at such a time is to get more information from God’s Word about the subject and remain steady and unflinching in your faith until you have the desired results. Faith comes to your heart through God’s Word, therefore, fill your heart with the Word of God and there’ll be no place for doubt. hallelujah!!! Shout Amen!

“I thank my God; I speak with tongues more than ye all”. 1Corinthians 14:18. The apostle Paul had the boldness to assert in his letter to the Corinthian Church, “I speak with tongues more than you all”. He must have observed something about them that made him arrive at this conclusion. Many of God’s Children need to exercise their spiritual vocabulary by speaking in tongues more often. This is very important because if neglected, a Christian will continue speaking the same tongues year after year which isn’t adequate for living victoriously here on earth. If you’re this way, you’ll find that after speaking in tongues for a few minutes, it sort of ‘dries up’ and you don’t pray for long. This is why you have to receive new tongues from time to time, thus getting better at speaking the heavenly language. Many times as you listen to the Word, in Church or even at home, you hear something that causes words to bubble up within you. Don’t suppress that spiritual excitement; go ahead and let the words flow from within you! Also, as you release yourself in worship, you’ll often feel a stirring in your spirit. Release your spirit to the flow of words from your spirit and you’ll find new tongues welling up from within you. The more you do these things, the more you receive new tongues and the more you get yourself uttering mysteries and receiving spiritual revelations.

Never stop praying, especially for others…stay alert and keep praying for God’s people Ephesians 6:18. Someone once said that the only ingredient for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. This statement is indeed true, especially because a lot of Christians try to make God responsible for what is actually their responsibility. They make such statements like, “If God didn’t want that thing to happen, why did He let it happen?” The authority to change things on the earth has been delegated to us. We have the responsibility of changing things, and one of the ways we do this is through prayer. The Bible gives us an example of the consequence of not taking up our responsibility. Herod had arrested James, the brother of John. Probably the brethren were thinking, “Herod doesn’t know the anointing on Brother James; he’ll be out of there in no time. ” They did nothing. Suddenly someone rushed in with the news: “Brother James has been killed!” James was no ordinary disciple; he was one of the three closest disciples to Jesus. While they were still wondering – “Jesus, why didn’t you do something?” another bad news came: “Peter has been arrested.” By this time, the disciples knew they had to do something! The Bible says, “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him” Acts 12:5; and as they prayed, Peter was miraculously set free by an angel Acts 12:7. Oh! If only they had responded by praying earlier, James wouldn’t have been killed. Learn to take up your responsibility of prayer. You don’t have to wait for evil to strike home before you learn to pray and cause changes in the Name of Jesus. Remember that God has given you the dominion and the authority to alter the course of events in the earth. It’s your responsibility, not His.

“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:4. Man in all his goodness and kindness is nothing before the Lord Isaiah 64:6, except he confesses Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and becomes a Christian. When a man becomes born again, he becomes a carrier of divinity, and the Holy Spirit takes abode in his spirit. This is why we can lift our hands in worship, honor and adoration to God without any sense of guilt or condemnation. You’re His holy vessel, His tabernacle, and He lives inside you. His presence drives sickness, fear, poverty, depression or unhappiness away from your life. That presence causes men to favor you everywhere you go, opening doors of opportunity for blessings, which no man can shut Revelation 3:8. You carry the presence of the Lord with you everywhere you go in the person of the Holy Spirit. You’ve moved beyond the revelation of “Emmanuel”: God with us (Matthew 1:23), to God in us (1 Corinthians 6:19). Now you’re the temple of the Holy Spirit for He resides in your spirit. You’re a carrier of God’s divine presence. Cherish His presence in you at all times. The Bible says, “…in thy (the Lord’s) presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11). The Psalmist said in Psalm 51:11, “Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” So you see, the Psalmist understood just how important the Lord’s presence truly is, and so did Moses (Exodus 33:15). The Lord’s presence is everything! Praise Him at all times and thank Him for the privilege of being identified with Him.
