EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God)l March 27, 2026 A BLANK CHECK REV. AROME E. TOKULA John 15:7 (AMP) - If you REMAIN IN ME and MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU [that is, if we are VITALLY UNITED and My message lives in your heart], ask WHATEVER YOU WISH and it will be done for you. In the earlier days of my walk with God; because of the things I was taught, I felt that serving God was going to be a boring religious walk but I came to discover that it is actually an adventure of faith! When you receive the life of God you are actually given the liberty to dream and see your dreams come to pass! As you grow and mature in fellowship with God, you will come to discover that He literally gives you a blank check to fill because you will find your heart resonating with Him. While it is true that Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 that, “… NARROW is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there ARE FEW who find it,” we must never forget that it is not a ‘narrow life’ in itself; it is ‘the way’ that leads to this amazing and glorious life that is narrow! It is narrow and difficult because it leaves men with no option except Christ Jesus as the way! While many religions believe there are different ways to God, we know as believers that Jesus is the only way to God and many find it ‘difficult’ to accept this simple truth. There is nothing small about the life of a child of God because it is only in God that you can see all your dreams come to fulfillment. Paul told the church in Corinth, “We didn't fence you in. The SMALLNESS you feel comes from WITHIN YOU. Your LIVES AREN'T SMALL, but you're LIVING THEM IN A SMALL WAY” (2 Corinthians 6:12 MSG). We live our lives in small ways when we don't dream big and our text gives us a pathway to having big dreams and seeing the coming to pass. The day you get born again, you are ‘legally’ united with God, but you become ‘vitally’ united with Him as you crave, practice and stay in His presence through prayer and the study and meditation of the Word. The same way two people legally become married when they say, “I do’' but begin to enjoy the vital benefits of that relationship as they fellowship with each other on a daily basis! When you are vitally connected to God in fellowship through His Word, He gives you a blank check called, “…  WHATEVER YOU WISH…” because your wish cannot be outside His will and purpose for your life! Literally, God makes Himself vulnerable to your desires when you are united with Him in thought, purpose and will. The secret to accurately filling this blank check is to be in constant fellowship with God. PRAYER Father, teach me to know You better each passing day as I look into Your Word and stay with You in fellowship. I want my heart to beat with Yours because I know that as I abide in You, I have and receive in full all that my heart desires in Jesus mighty name. PONDER There is nothing small about the life of a child of God because it is only in God that you can see all your dreams come to fulfillment #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #March #MonthOfTheSpirit #2026_RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) March 21, 2026l SATAN HAS BEEN DISARMED REV. AROME E. TOKULA Colossians 2:15 - Having DISARMED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. An unhealthy picture and image of the devil can cause believers to wait and wallow in defeat and shame! The image of Satan that you have should be that which is painted by the Word of God in the New Testament! Your picture of satan cannot be from books or testimonies based on the experiences of others because whatever they say outside the Word of God is a lie. John 8:44 (TPT) says that the devil is, “… FULL OF NOTHING BUT LIES—lying is his native tongue. He is a master of deception and the father of lies!’ The truth of God’s Word according to our text tells is that the devil has been disarmed! When an armed person is disarmed, it means the person no longer has what it takes to oppress, intimidate, and afflict harm again. In the same way, the devil is no longer armed with anything with which he can hurt you again! He doesn’t have anything to harm you with! The devil’s chief arm with which to oppressed man was the power of death. No wonder Hebrews 2:14 says, “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who HAD the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the devil.” Notice that scripture says, “… who HAD…” because he no longer has the power of death! Glory to God! When John saw the resurrected Jesus on the island of Patmos in Revelation 1:18 He said to him, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the KEYS OF HADES and of DEATH.” Jesus now holds the authority of death and hell (hades) and that authority has been given to the believer! Jesus gave it to the believer and commissioned the church in Matthew 28:18 (TPT) saying, “… ALL AUTHORITY of the universe has been given to me,” then in Mark 16:17 He says, “And these signs will follow those who believe: IN MY NAME they will CAST OUT DEMONS; they will speak with new tongues.” Until you start seeing the devil as a defeated personality, you'll struggle to wield your God given authority in Christ over him. Jesus has given you His name and that is what it takes to walk and live in victory! See the devil as the bible says and walk in victory in Jesus name! DECLARE In Christ Jesus I stand victorious over all the works of the devil. Jesus in His death, burial and resurrection stripped the devil of his authority and gave me the authority to walk in victory over every demon and devil in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name I rule and reign over every assault of the enemy because victory is mine! PONDER Until you start seeing the devil as a defeated personality, you'll struggle to wield your God given authority in Christ over him. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #March #MonthOfTheSpirit #2026_RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) March 5, 2026 BLOOD BROTHERS REV. AROME E. TOKULA Proverbs 18:24 - A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is A FRIEND who sticks closer than a brother. Being a Christian in church is not a social gathering of some very nice people who have decided to do only good. It is a spiritual brotherhood! 1 Peter 2:17 says, “Honor all people. LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD. Fear God. Honor the king.” There is blood involved in our fellowship with God and one another and it is the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 12:24 says that we have come, “… to the BLOOD OF SPRINKLING that speaks better things than that of Abel.” The spirituality of our faith is that we are in a blood covenant with Jesus and our fellow believers, and this is what makes us impervious to the works of darkness. Today’s text says, “… there is a friend who STICKS CLOSER than a brother.” To fully understand and appreciate the text, you’ll have to read it through the lens of the culture and the times in which it was written. A bible commentary had this to say: In Bible days, when two people would become ‘friends,’ they participated in a ceremony where they cut themselves, took the blood, and commingled each other’s blood. After the ceremony, the two were called “friends.” The word ‘friend’ as used in Proverbs 18:24 meant “Covenant friend” or “blood brother.” It implied the union of two people in a blood covenant and this covenant remained in effect until both covenant friends died. When one of the covenant friends died, the other extended the benefits and blessings of the covenant to the family of the deceased covenant friend. A blood brother is not someone that you share the same womb with but someone that you are in covenant with by blood. So, Proverbs 18:24 can be read as “… but there is a BLOOD BROTHER who sticks closer than a brother.” The word ‘stick’ means ‘to hold up,’ and it speaks of loyalty, commitment, and devotion resulting in life and preservation. Deuteronomy 4:4 says, “But you who HELD FAST to the Lord your God ARE ALIVE today, every one of you.” Jesus is our friend that sticks closer than a brother. He gave His blood for us! We are His blood brothers! Through faith in His shed blood, we have become blood brothers with Him. Ephesians 2:13 says, “But now IN CHRIST JESUS, you (Arome) who once were far away have been BROUGHT NEAR BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST” [Emphasis mine]. The blood of Jesus has brought us near! We are no longer outsiders. We are insiders because there is blood between Jesus and us! As you go out today, I want you to be conscious of the covenant that you have with Jesus! His blood flows through your veins. Be conscious of His blood (life) that was shed for you and live victoriously over anything the devil throws at you! Remember that your blood brother will never leave you nor forsake you! DECLARE I am in covenant with Jesus. He is my blood brother! His life is my life. I am a partaker of His blood and there is no way I can lose! I declare today that the blood is my insurance against any plague, disaster, or evil that may come my way! My life is driven by the power of His blood and I am victorious in Jesus' Name! PONDER Jesus is our friend that sticks closer than a brother. He gave His blood for us! We are blood brothers! #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #March #MonthOfTheSpirit #2026_RevelationAndUprise

EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) March 3, 2026 THE SPIRIT OF HONOUR REV. AROME E. TOKULA Isaiah 11:3 (TPT) - He will find his delight in living by the SPIRIT OF THE FEAR of the Lord. He will neither JUDGE by APPEARANCES nor MAKE HIS DECISIONS based on RUMOURS. The anointing of God’s Spirit will cause you to walk in the fear of God. The fear of God is not the same thing as being afraid of God because there's no fear in God! This anointing brings holy reverence for God in your life such that you live in honour before God. In our text, it was prophesied that Jesus would walk in this anointing, and He did. Jesus said in John 5:19 (TPT), “... I speak to you timeless truth. The Son is not able to do ANYTHING FROM HIMSELF or THROUGH MY OWN INITIATIVE. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does THE SAME WORKS as his Father.” It isn't like Jesus didn't have initiatives, but He submitted His will to the will of the Father out of honour for the Father because He knew the Father loved Him. His decisions were more than 'good’ decisions; they were God’s decisions. Some people by making wrong decisions have ruined and removed themselves from God’s plan and purposes for their lives because you can't walk with God on your own terms. As you in honour to God, He’ll teach you to ‘wait' for Him such that your 'judgements’ or decisions will not be based on appearances and rumors i.e. trends? You don’t have to be like King Saul who lost out on God’s plans when in 1 Samuel 15 he was instructed through Samuel to go to war against the Amalekites and destroy them COMPLETELY. Saul went to war, but didn't destroy them COMPLETELY. He spared King Agag and brought some of the ‘choicest’ animals as spoils. When the prophet Samuel confronted him, his answer in 1 Samuel 15:15 was, “... the PEOPLE spared the BEST of the sheep and the oxen, to SACRIFICE to the LORD YOUR GOD; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.” Saul was a king who preferred to listen to the people rather than God. Keeping the best to make sacrifices to God doesn't justify disobedience in any way. The prophet told him, “… Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice…” (1 Samuel 15:22-23) Saul lost out on God’s plans and purposes for his life because he would rather do a 'good’ thing than God’s thing. He followed the trend but with God, simple obedience is better than great sacrifices. Unlike David who would quickly repent and do God’s will, the bible says in 1 Samuel 15:30 (MSG) that Saul told Samuel, "... I have SINNED. But don't abandon me! SUPPORT me with your presence BEFORE THE LEADERS and THE PEOPLE. Come alongside me as I go back to worship GOD." For Saul, it was always about appearances and trends. Jesus said in John 4:34, “... My food is TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME, and to finish His work” because His greatest satisfaction was found in being right in the center of the Father’s will. Avoid appearances and trends and yield to this Spirit of honour that is resident in your in the person of the Holy Spirit because this is where true success begins! DECLARE I am totally and completely submitted to the will of the Father for my life. My one desire is to be right in the middle of His will and be found doing that which pleases Him. I have found my greatest fulfillment because I am in the very will of the Father doing that which pleases Him. I choose to walk in the Spirit of honour and fear of the Lord in Jesus’ Name. PONDER The anointing of God’s Spirit will cause you to walk in the fear of God. #IOFWithPastorArome #MorningDevotion #Euphoria #Devotional #March #MonthOfTheSpirit #2026_RevelationAndUprise
