THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL

Matthew 16:18
"...and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it..."

Hebrews 3:4 - For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

The Lord himself will build me up as His church and the gates of hell shall not prevail over me in any way, in any form and on whatever platform in Jesus name.

The gates of hell shall not prevail over In my spiritual life, I will not become spiritually numb, stale and insensitive to the Holy Spirit. The gates of hell shall not prevail over: My Spiritual Growth. I will remain Fresh and flourishing, My business will flourish, i will not lack innovative ideas, i will not be destitude of knowledge and my prayer life will forever be dynamic. My leafs shall not wither and all that I set my hands on shall prosper - Psalm 1:3

The Lord will build me up and the gates of hell shall not prevail over: My academics, I will be the head and not the tail - failure is not my story in Jesus name - Deut. 28:13.

The gates of hell shall not prevail over: My Fruitfulness - Spiritually, in business and economic life and Biologically - my children shall surround my table now and in the next generation. I will not lack men nor be deserted in Jesus name - Psalm 128:3, 5-6.

The gates of hell shall not prevail over my service for the Lord: every counsel of spiritual Ahithophel (2 Samuel 16:23; 17: 14-23) is cancelled and frustrated over my life and ministry in Jesus name. No weapon formed against me shall prosper in Jesus name - Isaiah 54:17.

Declare with me:
The gates of hell shall not prevail over me: Spiritually, Physically, Emotionally, Psychologically - Mentally, Socially, Financially, Academically, Ministerially, Martially, in my Vision and dreams in life - in My ambition and aspirations in life etc. Shalom

ALL-ROUND HEALTHY LIFE

"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26"

The scripture has given us insight of how the children of God can avoid diseases and all forms of ailing situations.

The keys to avoid diseases are to diligently hearken - a life of obedience. To do right - make right choices in life, pay attention to God's Word, and keeping it in our heart. First of all to diligently hearken is to listen to the Word of God with the aim of putting it to action.

Secondly, doing right means acting on the Word of God the way He wants it to be done. And thirdly, paying attention is to listen to God in all details.

Lastly, keeping His Word is to make conscious effort to retain the Word in our heart and mind. These four keys work hand in hand. And once active in our life, we will live an all-round healthy life.

Jesus Christ has made things easy for us to please God by giving us his grace and the Holy Spirit. Hence, it is easy for a Christian to win the war against disease and also live all round healthy. Shalom

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16"

Jesus Christ is the light of the world and when He comes into your life, He transforms you into light for the world.

No wonder He says let your *"light so shine".* It is the responsibility of the Christian to show forth all the good virtues that Christ Has planted in him or her.

The life style of the believer in Christ Jesus is the bible being read by the world and as they see the good works, they will definitely give God the glory.

Do you believe that you are the light of the world? Let your light shine for the world to see. May you continually shine unhindered to the glory of God in Jesus name. Shalom

ALL THINGS

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22"

This is one example of scriptures that assures us that *we can have all things.*

The world teaches that resources are scarce and you cannot have everything: this is a poor mindset from the devil.

God says we can have all things; the only condition attached is to believe that you have received what you have asked for and you shall have it.

Jeremiah 32:17, 27
- Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
[27] Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Shalom

*TRUST IN THE LORD*

*" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5"*

King Solomon was inspired by God to say this because King David had taught him to put his trust in God.

When he counselled, never to rely on one's understanding, he was speaking from the place of experience because when you trust in the Lord, you will never fail.

When Solomon trusted the Lord, his kingdom reigned peacefully. In fact, he did not fight wars like his father David did.

Beloved, trusting God with your whole heart and understanding will open doors of opportunities for you.

Depend on the Word of God and you will never regret it. God bless you. *Shalom*

LOVE NOT THE WORLD
1 John 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

No wonder the bible says you cannot serve two masters. You will love one more than the other. Mat. 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You will tilt towards one at the detriment of the other. You can not love the Lord and the world. That is two parallel lines that can never meet, let alone, uniting. You cannot love the world and claim you love the father. "...If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him?"

The facts of the bible is so glaring. Be sincere with yourself, where do you belong? Do you love the Lord or the world. Your decision determines your destiny. Where you pitch your tent determines your habitation. The biblical injunction is that: - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind - Matthew 22:37; Deut. 6:5 .

Shalom
