When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:1–3 Beyond All Expectations - Pastor Joseph Prince When the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you expect. In the healing of the leper, Jesus reached out and touched the leper, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the man was healed. Did you notice that Jesus   touched   the leper first before He healed him? I love these little gestures of Jesus! That simple touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to be close to him, much less touch him. Jesus knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave a

BE STRONG !

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

KEEP YOUR HEART !

Your heart will follow the things you consider important, for the attitude of your heart determines the altitude you will go; therefore with faith in your heart you will have a victorious fate when you meet mountains. Also, the people who have access to your heart, have the keys of your life; what gives the keys of your life to people are ; their words & the impact they have on you. The people who have the access to your heart can either be people you love or hate, and this gives them keys to your life because of the hold they have on you either by love or hate. let's take the prophet of God; Elijah and king Ahab's wife Jezebel, it is clearly seen that Elijah gave Jezebel access to his heart through her words and the hatred he had for her and her acts of idolatry (1 Kings 18 : 23 - 40, 19 : 1 - 3). The constant repetition of the words and mental images of Jezebel's threat in Elijah's mind put the keys of his life in Jezebel's hands, thus reducing him at that

YOUR MIND MATTERS TO HIM !

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 Your Mind Matters To Him - Pastor Joseph Prince Doctors tell us that many of the sicknesses we suffer in our bodies are psychosomatic, meaning they are a result of mental or emotional stress that we have put ourselves under. Perhaps you were abused or emotionally hurt by someone you trusted. Maybe you still feel angry and hurt when you think about it. Beloved, I want to encourage you to start involving Jesus. He is your answer. See the Lord holding you, gently healing your wounds. See Him restoring you, putting courage into your heart and taking away every sense of shame and guilt. At the cross, Jesus took on Himself the bitter sting of every one of your frustrations, hurts and emotional pains when He wore the crown of thorns on your behalf (John 19:2). He did it so that you can be free from fears, depression and stress. Today, bring the Lord into every situation of st

QUIET TIME !

FOLLOWING Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Exodus 33:7-11 “And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man…And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.” - Exodus 33:11 I remember when I wanted to go into the healing ministry. I prayed about it and asked the Lord what to do. The Lord pointed out a particular minister to me. He told me to follow him and I would receive the anointing to minister to the sick. As I began to listen to this minister’s tapes, I found them difficult to understand. My wife found them even more difficult to comprehend. Once, I said to myself, “What kind of preaching is this? No one could possibly understand it.” But I kept on listening to his tapes and following his ministry. As I humbled myself and continued, a day came when things began to fall in place. I suddenly understood what was going on and could follow the message. I would watch him minister and I would g

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD !

"HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM"  2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21 KJV

BELIEVE & MEDITATE RIGHT !

...For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 Believe Jesus’ Word That He Is With You - Pastor Joseph Prince Thank Jesus for His presence whether you “feel” it or not. When it comes to His presence, don’t go by your feelings. Feelings can be deceptive. Go by His promise that He is Immanuel—God with us! A groom approached his pastor almost immediately after his wedding ceremony and said, “Pastor, can I talk to you for a second?” “Sure,” the pastor replied. The groom said, “You know what, I don’t  feel  married.” The pastor grabbed him by the collar and growled, “Listen, boy. You ARE married whether you feel it or not, understand? Just take it by faith that you are married!” My friend, don’t go by your feelings. Go by the truth and the truth is this: God promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So practice His presence even if you  feel  like Jesus is 100,000 miles away. Remember that feelings aren’t always based on t

ARMED !

ARMED Bishop Dag Heward-Mills “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” - Ephesians 6:14   Righteousness is a vital piece of equipment in the armour of God. It is a broad defence against powerful accusations. In the ministry, you will be accused of almost every imaginable sin. The longer you stay in ministry, the more varied and extensive your accusations will be. What will you do to defend yourself against the stories and ideas that are peddled about you? Your biggest defence against wicked accusations is the fact that you have not done any of the things that you are being accused of. This is why righteousness is called the breastplate of righteousness.   Righteousness is a broad defence against your wicked and hateful enemy. Without the breastplate of righteousness you are done for. All the things your enemy says about you are true and you will pay the price for your sins. Mercies upon mercies! Another cri

SATANIC POISON !

SATANIC POISON Bishop Dag Heward-Mills “.. Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,   And shall go out to deceive the nations… to gather them together to battle…” - Revelation 20:7-8 Whatever makes you strong is of interest to your enemy. If he can take that away from you, he can destroy you. You must always expect an attack on the source of your strength. You must also attack your enemy’s source of light, fuel and food. The reason why your financiers are under attack is because they are a source of strength for your ministry. Who is behind the conflicts in your life? Perhaps, you are wondering why you are always having conflict with your pastors, your wife and your children. It is time to grow up and know that there is always someone behind the war. There is someone behind the marital conflict that you are experiencing and it is Satan. Satan is the one behind every conflict, every war, and every fight. Notice, as soon as the devil is set free from the one thou- sand year

QUIET TIME !!

NO DRIFTING. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Hebrews 6:7-12 “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” - Colossians 1:10 There are differences in employees. Some members of staff are very fruitful and contribute greatly to the efforts of the ministry. Others are more of a burden. Ensure that you are one of those whose presence is beneficial to the work of God. The fact that you are paid by the organization does not mean that you are fruitful. The fact that you work in a church does not mean that you will be automatically full of the Word. Endeavour to increase in the knowledge of God even as you serve God in full-time ministry. One interesting phenomenon is that some people actually backslide when they are in full-time ministry. They actually pray less and read less than when they were lay people. You must become stronger spiritually when you are in full- time ministry. Pray more and wai

CREATED !!

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Genesis 1:26-31; 2:18-24 “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” - Ezekiel 28:15   Satan forgot that he was a created being and wanted to rise and replace God on His throne. Perhaps his singing and music attracted so much praise that he thought the music came from within himself. Just accepting that you are normal shows that you are humble and not puffed up. Accept that you are just like everyone else. Accept the fact that you need help. Many people do not like to discuss realities! When you speak about marriage or sex they look at you as though you are vulgar or profane. It is humility to accept your human needs, desires and tendencies. It is wise and humble to understand yourself and to accept yourself. When you are puffed up and cannot bring yourself to behold or discuss your human realities, you will find yourself falling. Some people who decided that they were above the sex

MEDITATE & BELIEVE RIGHT !!

Meditate On Today I have given you the choice between life and death...Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Deuteronomy 30:19, NLT Choose Life Today! - Pastor Joseph Prince You can choose life today when you realize that life and death are in the power of your tongue (Proverbs 18:21). This is how you choose life practically and reign in it every day: Instead of complaining about your symptoms, simply thank God for His gift of righteousness and declare your righteousness in Christ. Say this prayer with me: Jesus, thank You for not just loving me and removing my sins, but for also giving me Your everlasting righteousness. You ARE my righteousness—today, tomorrow and forevermore. And because I am righteous, I will REIGN IN LIFE through You. I will reign over sin and sickness, and live a life that glorifies You! Amen!

Knowledge & Wisdom Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth…” - 1 Corinthians 2:13   Intelligence is defined as the capacity for learning, reasoning and understanding. It is the aptitude for grasping truths, relationships, facts and meanings. The four pillars of intelligence are knowledge, wisdom, understanding and the fear of the Lord. The Holy Spirit influences your knowledge, your wisdom, your understanding and your fear of the Lord. All these four aspects make up intelligence. Amazingly, the Holy Spirit influences each of these areas directly. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is a source of knowledge. A great part of His influence is to cause you to have knowledge. Knowledge is the information that you need. It consists of the facts, the data and the truths about any subject. Ignorance is directly proportional to many of the evils in the world toda

THE GOSPEL !!!

"The gospel of Grace is not to condemn but to draw all to the realization of Love, leading all who accept this Grace to Life through the sacrifice of Love (The Lord Jesus Christ). Love gives and never holds back, for in all our way, we are set to encourage ourselves in Love and to comfort ourselves in the knowledge of God's Grace." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

KNOW THIS !!

"Grace has given us the strength to stand strong through our weaknesses as sons of God regardless of our breaking points and has mounted us to hope when we are fainting,that no matter the circumstance,we will boldly face the storm without fear for our strength is based on our Love and fellowship with God." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

WORD !!!

"Dedicating your life to God requires more than always being in the church room, it requires the devoted practice of the gospel of Christ which is the testament of Love and forgiveness for by such do we know we are alive in God through Christ. Your purpose as a child of God is to draw the world to love." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

TRUTH !!

"The message of the gospel of Christ is Salvation and Life through the Love of God, for by this Love, are all drawn to the knowledge of the nature of Grace. Forgiveness is a major key to Salvation and with this Spirit are we justified in the nature of our Father to fully manifest the Glory and nature of God." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

WISDOM !!

"God has given us gifts that no one can take away from us. Especially in times of need, those gifts can give us comfort. Hold on tightly to the gifts of God!" - Joyce Meyer

QUIET TIME !!

GIFTED Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Isaiah 42:1-4 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek…” - Isaiah 61:1 The prophet Isaiah spoke of this anointed servant on whom the Spirit of God would rest. He would have certain characteristics. May these characteristics always be found on you after today! There is a special anointing on the servant of God in whom God delights. May this anointing be upon you! This is the last day that you will be found without the gift of the spirit. Many desire to be servants of God because there is a difference between he that serveth God and he that serveth him not. Even higher than that is the op- portunity to be an anointed servant. This will be your story and your testimony from today onwards. As you read these qualities of the anointed servant as prophesied by Isaiah, they are coming upon you to stay. Amen! The anointing of the anointed servant will cause you to be a d

MEDITATE & BELIEVE RIGHT !!

Meditate on this; For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.2 Corinthians 5:21 Not Just Forgiven, But Made Righteous Too by Pastor Joseph Prince  At the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, but He also gave you His righteousness! A divine exchange took place—your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself, not because of your good works, but because of His finished work! So place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare: I, (state your name), AM the righteousness of God in Christ! Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart. Learn to speak this powerful truth to and over yourself every day. If the enemy tells you, “You’re a bad Christian and that’s why you’re sick,” just declare, “I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST! By His stripes I am healed!” Beloved, when you meditate on and honor the work of the Son that
