TOPIC : THE NECESSITY OF RIGHT THINKING
SCRIPTURE: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you do not like the way you live, change the way you think.
God, in our anchor Scripture, makes it clear that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Knowledge refers to awareness, consciousness or understanding of a thing. This implies, from our Anchor Scripture, that many of God’s children are destroyed for lack of awareness, consciousness or understanding.
Beloved, it is important to know that the destruction of the people of God is not because of the strength or powerfulness of the devil but because of the lack of awareness or understanding of their rights and privileges. God’s people are ruined because they are not aware of who they are or the provision that belongs to them in God.
The lack of awareness of who we are in God is also the reason why life is out of control. The Scripture makes us to understand in Psalms 82:5-7 that all the foundations of the earth are out of course and control because of our lack of awareness.
Furthermore, awareness is a secret of wealth; your possession is a product of your perception; anything that does not cross your mind can never cross your life. Even if it crosses your life by mistake, you cannot retain it because your mind may be too small to handle the breakthrough. For example, if the thought of billions of dollars is not in your mind, you cannot have it in your hands. That is why the Bible says, Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Proverbs 4:23 (GNT). For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Proverbs 23:7.
Therefore, it is important to renovate your mentality. To renew and renovate your mind is to be upgraded in life. If you do not like the quality of your life, upgrade your mentality. If you do not like the way you live, change the way you think.
My counsel is, make conscious effort to renovate and upgrade your mentality on a consistent basis. The renovation of mentality is a life-time assignment if life must be upgraded.
Remember this: If you do not like the way you live, change the way you think.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Avoid harbouring negative thoughts in your mind.
2. Let the thoughts of what you want and where you want to be in life fill your mind.
3. Renovate your mind always by studying God’s Word.
PRAYER: O Lord, I reject every negative and limiting thought in my mind. I ask for the grace to renew my mind by studying Your Word, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

_SPEAK “SPIRIT WORDS”_
Thursday, May 31st .
Pastor Chris
```It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).```
Not many people realize that life is indeed, spiritual. The physical world in which we live isn’t all there is; it’s in fact controlled from the spirit world.
All around us in this physical world are angels, but you can’t see them with your physical eyes; you have to pass over into the realm of the spirit to see them. Now, the point of all that is this: everything God says to us is real in the realm of the spirit, but to make them real in your life, you have to speak them forth. The Word of God is activated by your words.
Your words are “spirit words”; when you speak, you connect to the spirit realm. Your words are the connection between the earth realm and the spirit realm. Every time you speak, whatever you say is real in the realm of the spirit. If they’re positive, faith-filled words, they’ll produce faith-results. If they’re words of fear, discouragement, and defeat, they’ll produce such negative results as well.
Your words are either working for you or against you; the reason you must watch what you say. It brings to mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:37: “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Recall what He said in our opening verse.
We’re made, not just to look like Him, but also to function like Him. We release spirit and life through our words. The energy released by your words will either give life or produce death. It’s for the same reason the Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue….”
Release positive energy through your words. Speak life to your world, to your family, your job, your ministry, your finances, etc. Speak life to everything that concerns you. Affirm God’s Word in every situation. What you say is what you get (Mark 11:23); never forget it. Therefore, speak life only, and always; speak “spirit words”; faith-filled words.
*PRAYER*
_I declare peace with prosperity for the nations of the world, and affirm that the Gospel of Christ has free course and is glorified; the righteousness of God is exalted in the nations, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*|| Romans 10:6-8 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down [from above]:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; ||*
*|| 1 Corinthians 2:12-13 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. ||*

TOPIC : PROOFS OF SOLID SPIRITUALITY
SCRIPTURE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The higher a person goes with God, the humbler he becomes.
Yesterday, we saw the value of spirituality; we saw that the true needs of man are spiritual, and that when the spiritual is handled, every other thing flows. We also saw that a true spiritual person is responsible, operates with high mentality and is reliable.
Today, we want to look at products or proofs of spirituality. I will give you two of them:
i) Spirituality is doorway to tenacity
Tenacity is the capacity to withstand pressure and keep on keeping on (Job 14:14). Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism, enthusiasm. A spiritual person is a real fighter; he does not give up and does not take ‘No’ for an answer. He is a goal-getter.
ii) Spirituality anchors humility
The more spiritual people get, the humbler they become. This is because the Almightiness of God always reveals the nothingness of man. Humility is necessary because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:7). The humbler we get, the more engraced we become; the humbler we get, the more lifted we get.
Humility means the capacity to receive positive and constructive advice. Humility means the admission of ignorance until proven otherwise. Humility means teach-ability; that is, being teachable.
Some time ago, a young man who submits to me in Ministry was telling me some things; when he was through, I told him to put those things in writing and email them to me. This is how we should live; you are willing to learn from anybody.
Beloved, my counsel is, be tenacious in your approach to life; get closer to God in order to be like Him in humility.
Remember this: The higher a person goes with God, the humbler he becomes.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Maintain the lifestyle of tenacity.
2. Make up your mind to be always humble before God and men.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask that You give me the grace to be tenacious and humble. I ask for a buoyant spiritual life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

*Rhapsody Of Realities* _WE HAVE HIS FULLNESS_
Wednesday, May 30th .
Pastor Chris
```For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him (John 3:34).```
Some Christians have said only Jesus had the fullness of God’s Spirit, and that the rest of us only have a measure of the Spirit. But in the light of God’s Word, that’s not true.
First, the Bible says of His fullness, referring to Jesus, have we all received, grace heaped upon grace (John 1:16). Moreover, the Holy Spirit, as a person and in His fullness, lives in you, if you’re born again.
Now, the confusion of those who propagate the notion that only Jesus had the Spirit without measure stem from the King James rendering of John 3:34. It says, “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure UNTO HIM.” The underlined words, “unto him,” are actually in parenthesis, meaning that they don’t exist in the original Greek text; they were introduced by the translators, and it’s misleading, because it makes you think that verse is talking about Jesus, whereas it’s not.
The correct rendering is, “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure.” You were sent, just as Jesus was sent of the Father: “Then said Jesus…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:21-22). You have the “whole” Holy Ghost in you, in His fullness.
Ephesians 3:17-19 talks about you being filled with all the fullness of God. The same is said of Jesus in Colossians 1:19: “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.” If you thought that was something to shout about, read Colossians 2:10; it says, “And ye are complete in him….” In whom are you complete? The preceding verse 9 tells us who: “For in him (Christ Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Blessed be God!
You’re complete in the One in whom all fullness— the fullness of the Deity, the Godhead—dwells; you’re perfected in Him. Meaning that you’re replete with God. You’re the walking, living, tabernacle of God. Hallelujah!
*PRAYER*
_Blessed and gracious Father, how great thou art! Thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me in His fullness, and the eternal glory He’s brought into my life. I live to love you, to honour you, and to do your will, every day of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*|| John 1:16 (AMPC) For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift. ||*
*|| 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ||*
*|| Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. ||*

Topic:
THE VALUE OF SPIRITUALITY
SCRIPTURE: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.
Spirituality is an indispensable necessity for life and destiny. The greatest need of anyone is the need for true spirituality. The most essential needs of man are spiritual needs. When the spiritual is handled, the natural follows. Therefore, a person must give crucial attention to his/her spirituality more than all other things in life.
Now, let me give three things that spirituality would produce in the life of a person:
i) Spirituality is doorway to responsibility
Every true spiritual person is a responsible person. A spiritual husband, father, employee or employer is a responsible person. To know God well is to do things well. Nothing refines character like spirituality. The closer we get to God, the more like Him we become (2 Corinthians 3:18). Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.
ii) Spirituality sharpens mentality
The closer to God we are, the more like Him we think. No one can be closely related to the Almighty God and behave like a fool. Distance from God is distance from sense; disconnection from God is impartation of stupidity.
iii) Spirituality is doorway to reliability
The closer people get to God, the more reliable they become in their character (Daniel 6:3). So, the limit of spirituality is the limit of reliability, and reliability is foundation for authority. Your spirituality will provoke your reliability and your reliability will establish your blessing.
Beloved, my counsel is, develop your spiritual roots in God and let it reflect in the way you live.
Remember this: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Decide to maintain a life of high spirituality.
2. Endeavour to always accept responsibility.
3. Be reliable in everything you do.
4. Approach life with a solid mentality.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace for quality spirituality. Help me, to be responsible and reliable in everything I do, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

The Christian life is a demonstration of divine love. 1 John 4:8 says, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” God is love personified. He demonstrated His love towards us in that He gave Christ to die for us while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8).
Being born again, you’re born of God, and if God who is love gave birth to you, then you’re a child of love, and love personified. Divine love isn’t something to pray to God to give you; it’s a feature of your recreated human spirit: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22). What’s expected of you is to demonstrate the love that’s stored up in your heart, and be a blessing to your world. Be an oasis of love in a troubled world.
Jesus said in John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” An example of His commandment is the instruction to preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). You’d be demonstrating the love of God to your world when you reach out to others with the Gospel of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:14 says, “For the love of Christ constraineth us…”; we’re propelled by His love to preach the Gospel, just as He was propelled by love to take the place of sinful men on the cross. He was the expression and communication of the love of God.
Not only did He speak words of blessings to the people, He also touched them and related to them with love. He helped them know that the Father loved them. You felt love, divine love, when you were in His presence. People from everywhere came to Jesus, to hear Him, and be with Him, because in His words, they heard and saw love.
As a Christian or minister of the Gospel, this should be your desire: manifesting the love of Jesus to the world. It’s one of the things the Holy Spirit does in your life; He reveals God to you and as you get to know Him, His love dominates you. This is because the more you love Him, the more like Him you become.
*PRAYER*
_Dear Father, I thank you for flooding my spirit with the revelation of your love and for helping me, not only to walk in the increased consciousness of your great love for me but to also, demonstrate this love and be a blessing to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*|| 1 John 4:11-12 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. ||*
*|| 1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. ||*
*|| 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NIV For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. ||*
