“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” Matthew 4:1 KJV Jesus was tested to know whether He will live by the Word or by what the devil says. Whether you are going to live by my word or what the devil said. Deuteronomy 8:3 declares:  "…man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeded...

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19   KJV During the temptation of Jesus, He consistently spoke the Word.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 KJV.

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25 (KJV) Today, I come to encourage you to be a stickler for the Word of God.  If you learn to accept and stand on what God has said, it will change what is happening around you because the greatest power of God...

“Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.” Proverbs 24:26 (KJV) Child of God, life is not all about money. Stop this money first mentality! That is why many are not fulfilling divine mandate. They are always looking for money and money pinching. All they are concerned about is what can I get out of it. Beloved, leave what you can get out of it....

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Colossians 1:13 KJV As a believer in Christ, you are standing on a blessed ground where there is no sickness, no lack, no barrenness, no struggle and no curse.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10 (KJV) Child of God, if there ever was a time in human history that we need to move beyond mere knowledge, that time is now.  We need to fully understand and hinge our lives on God’s unending mercies.
