THIS KIND....

Text: Matthew 17:21

However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

You might have been experiencing some hardcore situations in your life for a long time, it is now time you take a drastic action against such, even as you prepare to enter into the year 2023. 

You must know that Jesus is always near to deliver you from every hardcore and long standing problems. You shall not enter 2023 with any assault from the pit of hell in Jesus name.

Jesus' disciples were confronted with such hardcore problem at a point when He was absent. Jesus and three of his disciples had gone up to Mount of transfiguration. While on the mount, a man had brought his son to the remaining nine(9) disciples so they can help cast out the demon troubling his son.

They made a great attempt, but could not get this poor boy delivered from the devil. While It is obvious they were dissapointed in themselves, the boy's  father must have been left more helpless and stranded than when he came. 

While the disciples, the boy's father, and the multitude were standing perplexed, the Lord Jesus showed up and rescued the situation. *May the Lord show up for you in this eleventh hour of the year in the name of Jesus!* Amen.

Afterwards, his disciples came for a private lesson on why they couldn’t cast out the demon. The Lord gave them one major and specific  reason.

Let's consider this reason why they couldn’t cast out the demon today: 

 ```1. Unbelief:``` 

Unbelief is a condition of the heart that is lacking in Faith. Though it is a perpetual state of the heart of unbelievers, yet many believers can  also stay in the realm of unbelief. 

 *It is not enough to confess faith with your mouth, you must genuinely believe from your heart before the result can be delivered.* 

Jesus said to his disciples that the main reason they could not cast out the demon is because of their unbelief. He said to them, 

 *"...for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you"* Mathew 17:20.

I will like to ask you to meditate on this profound statement made by our Lord all through today. This will prepare you for a total transformation in the year 2023.

Bible Reading:Matthew 17:14-21.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
