A Fresh Outpouring (Day 3)

“Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.”

– 1 Chronicles 4:9-10

Friday, June 30, 2023

We continue our focus on receiving a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

This is our differentiating advantage as a child of God. The ability to walk in the supernatural stands us out ahead of all human capabilities.

God’s word is a sure and formidable foundation. When we build on His words, we build to last

Acts 2:17-18 NIV

“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

Prayer Confession: In Jesus’ Name, today I declare the Release of the Spirit upon me. Dreams, Visions, and Prophetic insights are my life realities.

Titus 3:4-7

“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.”

– In Jesus’ Name I give thanks to the Almighty for His mercy that delivered and saved me. Thank you, Lord, for the generous outpouring of your Spirit.

Acts 2:29-33 NIV

“Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.

31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.”

– Heavenly Father, thank you for the resurrection life made available through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I receive the promised Holy spirit in Jesus Name.

Acts 10:44-48 NIV

“While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.

45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,

47 “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”

48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.”

– In Jesus’ Name, I declare the gift of the Holy Spirit is manifest in my life.

1 Cor 12:7-10

“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.”

– In Jesus’ Name I declare all the charismatic gifts of the Spirit find expression in and through me to bless humanity.

Rom 12:6-8

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.”

– In Jesus’ Name I declare the ministry gifts of the Holy Spirit are present

Indeed, these again are the days of the Outpouring of God’s Spirit and Power and manifest Presence upon His Church upon the earth.

A House of Cards

Olutayo Fadipe Devotional 0

“But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
– James 1:25 (NKJV)

Tuesday, June 27, 2023

There is a popular saying … “There are two sides to a coin.” It is either head or tail. You are either for or against, in or out, truth or lies… There are no grey areas or lacunas with God and life.

It also follows that you are either building to last or building to fail, a house of stone or a house of cards.

Jesus Christ, the great storyteller, shared a deep insight with us in one of His many stories. If you attended Sunday school, you’ll be familiar with this parable.

Let’s read Matthew 7 verses24 to 27 in the message translation;

“These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on.

If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.

“But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.”

Storms will always come, and challenges will certainly arise but how you build will determine the outcome.

The human strategy is a sinking sand, it inevitably falls like a house of cards.
However, the Holy Spirit strategy is the foundation of how to build to last.

Beloved, be careful to always build by the leadings and instructions of God. Don’t build your life on human reasoning, trending news or people’s opinions rather build on the solid rock of divine encounters and truth anchored on prophetic scriptures.

Always Get God first. Then, no matter what comes your way, your purpose will shine forth and your increase will be guaranteed. It’s your season of rebirth and renewal.

LET US PRAY:

In Jesus’ Name, I declare I am not a forgetful hearer, I am not a playful hearer, I am a doer. I build my life with the building blocks of God’s word.

Dear Holy Spirit, help me to pattern my life according to the will and purpose of God for my life. Amen.

Jump Into The Change

Olutayo Fadipe Devotional 0

“If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success”

– Ecclesiastes 10:10

Know what is changing. Jump into the change!

Monday, June 26, 2023

A famous old African fable told of an agile young man who would make an effort to go to his farm yet not get anything done. The field remained ever bushy and his ground could not be tilled for sowing his seed.

The months wore on, the rains came and went, but he had no harvest.

Not because he didn’t leave home daily to go to his farm but because his farm tools (cutlasses, hoes) were blunt on the edge and he wouldn’t even bother to sharpen them.

It is imperative that we continue to up-skill ourselves; learn, relearn; be aware and involved in the evolutionary process of things.

Keep your mind keenly alert and sharp; develop it. It is the tool you have to transact in such a very mentally-demanding world in which you live.

Know what has changed or is changing in your industry and pay the price to catch up on the trends. Get the required education. Build helpful business and social networks.

Only then will you be relevant and still productive both in and out of season.

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, strengthen me through your spirit in my inner man. Grant unto me a discerning heart to know what is no longer working and continually embrace the more viable option that life affords.

Help me to stay agile, flexible, and very mobile in my skills for life and productivity so I keep learning, relearning, and unlearning.

I receive the grace to live free of traditional and religious mindsets. I am empowered to live focused and effective in every good work to the glory of God.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

What The Lord Says

Olutayo Fadipe Devotional 0

For this is what the Lord says— he who created the heavens,
    he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth,
    he founded it; he did not create it to be empty,
    but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.

– Isaiah 45:18 NIV

Saturday, June 24, 2023

Today we receive what the Lord says in His word, from the book of Isaiah chapter 45. As you read His word, meditate on the words and ask God to grant you understanding.

In this chapter, you will read about how God chose Cyrus even though Cyrus does not acknowledge God. How? Why?

Also, you will learn about the blessings God promised to bestow on the person that does His will. What are those? How can you appropriate them?

All these and more are recorded for our guidance as those to whom the end of the world has come… May the Lord open your eyes to see as you read.

“This is what the Lord says to his anointed,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
²I will go before you and will level the mountains;
I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
³I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
⁴For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.

⁵I am the Lord, and there is no other;
    apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,
⁶so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me.
    I am the Lord, and there is no other.
⁷I form the light and create darkness,
    I bring prosperity and create disaster;
    I, the Lord, do all these things.

⁸“You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.

⁹“Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,
    those who are nothing but potsherds
    among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?
¹⁰Woe to the one who says to a father,
    ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’

¹¹“This is what the Lord says—
    the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
    do you question me about my children,
    or give me orders about the work of my hands?
¹²It is I who made the earth
    and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
    I marshaled their starry hosts.
¹³I will raise up Cyrus^[b] in my righteousness:
    I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
    and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
    says the Lord Almighty.”

¹⁴This is what the Lord says:

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,^[c]and those tall Sabeans—
they will come over to you and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you, coming over to you in chains. They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying, ‘Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god.’”

¹⁵Truly you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel.
¹⁶All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced; they will go off into disgrace together.
¹⁷But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.

¹⁸For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens, he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says:
“I am the Lord, and there is no other.
¹⁹I have not spoken in secret,
    from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,
    ‘Seek me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
    I declare what is right.

²⁰“Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.
²¹Declare what is to be, present it— let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.

²²“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
²³By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.
²⁴They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’”
All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.
²⁵But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the Lord and will make their boast in him.

Antidote To Pride

“When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,
lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;
and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;…”
– Deuteronomy 8:10-14 (NKJV)

Friday, June 23, 2023

By the sacrifice of God Himself on the cross at Calvary, the many blessings of life are now appropriated unto men. They will come upon us just as God had decreed it! Hallelujah!

However, as humans, we tend to suffer from Amnesia (short memories) moments after our silver increases. The only way out of this is to praise.

Praise is the way we remind ourselves that we are but limited humans and only beneficiaries of God’s great Mercy.

Praise helps you to eat the humble pie and to ascribe your successes to God.

Praise it is that brings you into more revelation of all that God still has for you. It is what you should do when you want to be close to Him.

When humans consistently fail to praise and honor the creator God, they become depraved in their minds and become altogether dysfunctional. (Romans 1)

Praise will sustain God’s favor in life. If you doubt this ask David, the greatest King of Israel and the only one whose rule remains forever. Praise was his lifestyle.

As you embark on taking new territories in this new season of your life. Take the garment of praise with you. Never leave home without it.

You will succeed!

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, I praise you for all you have done for me. Thank you for all you are going to do. It is in you that I live and move. I honor and adore you. You alone I will worship all the days of my life. Amen.

Never Look Down On Anyone

Olutayo Fadipe Devotional 0

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” ‘

– John 4:10

‘Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him (her) up.’

– Jesse Jackson

Thursday June 22, 2023

Never look down on anyone, only God sits that high.

God’s blessings are often hidden in very simple places. He sometimes places unassuming women and men, young or old around us with potential blessings for us but we often fritter it away because as usual with human ‘flesh’ we tend to judge by impressionable outward appearance.

According to the story recorded in John 4; The Samaritan woman objected to lending a helping hand to a Jewish man for cultural and ethnic reasons, yet she had no idea that He was the gift of God to her with the capacity to quench all thirsts!

Beloved, don’t underrate anyone, and never look down on others for any reason.

2 Corinthians 4:7 reads; “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

1 Samuel 16:7 also clarified further, “But the Lord said to Samuel, …People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Learn to treat all humans (men or women) with respect. Do not forget that Abraham in doing so, unknowingly attended to angels, (divine emissaries, harbingers of God’s blessings), and his life was changed. Likewise, Lot treated strangers well and he was saved from destruction.

Do not be biased, tribalistic, overly critical, segregational, or selective based on gender, ethnicity, academic standing, and economic status. Rather challenge this way of thinking right now and submit the same to the Holy Spirit.

You can choose to open your heart and walk in love. Stop arriving at conclusions about people simply based on their background, or by the way they look, speak, or how much they earn.

Honor the creativity of God in people’s lives for He made them and in so doing you honor God.

It is a new season, so touch God’s heart and be an extension of his hands to the world by the way you treat people around you.

LET US PRAY:

Dear Heavenly Father, I confess and repent of every biased and traditional mindset that has hindered me from walking in the love of God.

Help me to live by the love of God and not by my reasoning, feelings, or experiences.

I have the spirit of power, love, and sound mind. So I make the right choices with the help of the Holy Spirit that strengthens me in my actions and relationships today and always.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Kings & Priests

“And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood, Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.’
– Revelations 5:9- 10

‘ And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.’
– Revelation 1:6 (KJV)

Wednesday June 21, 2023

What a glorious inheritance we have in Christ

A powerful truth… redeemed by the blood, and made kings and priests to God, to reign on earth.

Reign on earth? Not until heaven, but right here on earth!

This is an eternal promise for you and I, who by the grace of Our Savior, are part of this generation.

The significance is in the spiritual offices that they represent. In Christ, we have the union of the King and priest.

In Christ the King you exercise the Authority of Heaven. You are given governmental power to administer the resources of God. You operate from the throne room, and the command office, and are empowered to make things happen.

In Christ the Priest, you experience the intermediation of mercy and grace. You encounter the power of His sovereign might over all creation. You have access to the presence and heart of God. We operate from the liaison office, as a go-between heaven and earth.

And in Christ the Savior you experience engrafting into the Kingly, Priestly, and Prophetic unction with Divine Access to all that Jesus died for.

What a humbling glory. What a vantage position.

Meditate on this truth, let it guide and guard your mindset as you navigate life. This is your Heritage. This is your calling. This is your identity; You are a king, You are a priest, You reign on earth.

LET US PRAY:

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, you are lifted high in my life. You are my redeemer, my savior, and my King. In your Life I have life. I can do all things through you, the Christ that strengthens me.

I declare that the anointing differentiates me in every area of life, service and ministry. The glory and favor of God rest on my life. I soar high on new wings.

I walk in my blood-bought full authority as a king, priest, and prophet today and always.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray.
Amen.

I Already Know That

Olutayo Fadipe Devotional 0

“Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.”
– Jude 1:5

Tuesday June 20, 2023

One of the most significant issues that can hinder our prophetic destiny and purpose is misdirected self-confidence.

There is a big difference between a healthy self-assuredness and being closed-minded to something that could change your life. Those four extremely dangerous words in the human language are:

“I already know that.”

When we feel like we’ve already mastered something, or that we’ve “got it covered”, or that it’s old news and not what we need, we immediately shut ourselves off from the possibility of new growth and success.

The reality is, we may think we already know something, but if we’re not applying it in our lives then it’s really just a theory. It’s not something we truly know.

Knowledge is not power. The application of knowledge is power.

So you know there is power in prayer, but do you pray without ceasing?
You know that the Bible is the word of God, how often do you read and study the word?

It’s a season of rebirth and renewal, do you believe?

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP)

“Once you stop learning you start dying”; says Albert Einstein.

As you read the word, be eager i.e. excitedly receive it as the whole truth and do everything possible within your power and ability to align with it.

Unbelief, taking the word for granted, and belittling prophecies all contribute to the extension of stay in the wilderness of life.

Stay woke, there is always one more thing to learn and apply as we journey in life. Open your mind to God today and stay open for new possibilities, new ideas, new opportunities, and fresh encounters with God every blessed day.

LET US PRAY:

Dear Heavenly Father, I repent of every arrogance and ‘I know it all’ mentality. With You, I am but a child.

Help me to stay humble, meek, and teachable all the days of my life. Help me to daily crave your instructions and watch out for your directions. May I never have misdirected self-confidence.

Open my eyes to see, open my heart to receive, open my ears to hear, and cause me to fly on the wings of the eagles all life long.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
