God can use dreams for many purposes. Here are four biblical ways He speaks through them. 1 –God Can Impart Through Dreams In 1 Kings 3:5–12, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and invited him to ask for whatever he desired. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could lead God’s people well and distinguish between right and wrong. The Lord was pleased with his request and gave him extraordinary wisdom. Solomon did not merely dream about God—he encountered God in his dream. What happened while he slept resulted in a genuine impartation that affected his waking life. There have been times when I sensed the Holy Spirit’s presence intensely in a dream and then awakened with that same sense of His presence in the room. A dream can become a genuine place of encounter. God can impart wisdom, courage, direction, or spiritual strength through it. 2 –God Can Reveal the Future Through Dreams Genesis 41 records Pharaoh’s troubling dreams and Joseph’s God-given interpretation. The dreams revealed that seven years of prosperity would be followed by seven years of famine. Because God revealed what was coming, Egypt was able to prepare. God can reveal future events through dreams. Sometimes, He may show you something before it happens; at other times, He may confirm what He has already been speaking to your heart. Years ago, at about age ten, I had a dream in which I saw an old man carrying a load in a "Ghana Must Go" bag. I took the load from the old man and walked with him for a distance. At a point , he asked me to put the load down, and when I did, he opened the bag; it was full of Bibles. He gave me one of them and told me to cherish it. He then said he could carry on from that point. He moved a distance away and vanished into thin air. In another dream at a different time, I was given Genesis 17:1–4. In a third dream, a well-built man in a white robe came to me and gave me a briefcase, telling me to guard it well, as everything in it was for me. I opened it and found a Bible and a white handkerchief with a dove drawn at the center, inscribed with the words "Holy Spirit." When I shared these dreams, I was told God would use me. Since then, God has used dreams to show me what lies ahead, what is present, and even what is in the past that needs to be unraveled. 3 –God Can Reveal Important Information After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him it was safe to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:19–20). The dream provided the information Joseph needed for a decision in that moment. Daniel also declared, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future” (Daniel 2:28, NLT). The Holy Spirit may reveal a missing piece of information, bring clarity to something you have been sensing, or expose a matter that needs prayer. But dreams must never make you paranoid or suspicious of everyone around you. Do not make accusations or major decisions based on a dream alone. Remain discerning, levelheaded, prayerful, and submitted to Scripture. 4 –God Can Warn Through Dreams God may use a dream to warn you about physical danger, spiritual attack, a damaging decision, or a difficult season ahead. Sometimes a warning calls you to act; other times, it simply calls you to pray and prepare. In Genesis 15:12–14, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a terrifying darkness came over him. God warned him that his descendants would be oppressed for 400 years, but He also promised to judge the nation that enslaved them and bring His people out with great wealth. This passage corrects a common misconception: a dream from God will not always feel pleasant. A warning may produce a serious or even troubling emotional response. The presence of a negative emotion does not automatically prove that a dream is not from God. The more important questions are whether the message agrees with Scripture and whether it ultimately leads you toward faith, obedience, prayer, and redemption. God bless you!

❤️HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 6 of 6. How God Makes Known His Will for Specific Decisions and Needs. Continued. In both instances, what we experience by-passes the mind or intellect. Both the witness within our spirits, and the inner voice of the Holy Spirit may at times go contrary to our personal feelings and emotions" regarding some matter but we will know, nevertheless, what God's will is concerning the situation and what we should do. Feelings and emotions can deceive or confuse us if we rely entirely upon them, for this is the realm in which both Satan and the intellect reign; whereas the enlightened spirit of a Christian, and the voice of God's Spirit within will always guide us correctly if we will listen to them (Jn. 16:13) 1 Cor. 2:10-16; 1 Jn. 2:27). Of course, usually what we feel about a situation will be in harmony with what we are inwardly impressed to do, but it is not our feelings or emotions through which God's will is imparted to us. Inasmuch as God frequently desires to alert us to some spiritual or physical danger, prepare us with regarding some event that is about to occur, or inform us concerning His will about some present or future matter, then it is imperative that we become sensitive to the inner voice of the Spirit if we are to hear Him when He speaks. It is a real blessing to be so sensitive to the Spirit's voice that you know when you are moving in the will of God. Being yielded to the Spirit is the secret of being "fruitful in every good work." When we are fully yielded to Him, and sensitive to His voice, then we can always move with Him, fulfilling God's will, and we will not have to waste time planning and scheming, or running all over the place hoping that we are doing God's will and fulfilling His purpose. By Prophecy Occasionally God will inform us of His will regarding some matter, or concerning some problem about which we are praying, through prophecy or the ministry gift of the prophet. Generally, this will be a confirmation of what He has already been speaking inwardly to us about, and not the giving of guidance by prophecy as such. It cannot be overemphasized that it is God's purpose to lead the Christian inwardly by His Spirit or the inward witness (Rom. 8:14; 1 Cor. 2:14-16). Christians are not to seek guidance through prophecy or visions, inasmuch as some people have been misdirected or led astray, sometimes with serious consequences, on the basis of an alleged prophecy or revelation given to them by some overzealous individual who felt that he (or she) had an anointing to "prophesy" to them. In one case a minister who was sure that he had been led of the Spirit to leave a certain church to minister in another place was then prophesied to by a self-appointed prophetess and told that the Lord wanted him to return to the former church which he had recently left. This left him thoroughly confused as to what he was supposed to do, not knowing which of the two conflicting "revelations" was from the Lord. In two other instances, certain individuals who were seeking guidance were informed by overzealous Christians with an "anointing" that they were to move to a certain city and state as this was God's will for them. In neither case was the guidance from the Lord. Some Christians have actually been appointed to some office such as prophet, teacher, elder, or evangelist, and some Christian groups have been set in "divine order" by misguided individuals who interpret emotional feeling, spiritual enthusiasm, or actual delusion by Satan, as an anointing to prophesy. In other instances, a genuine anointing to speak in tongues or to minister the simple gift of prophecy to the church for "edification, and exhortation, and comfort" (1 Cor. 14:3) was misdirected to some particular individual and ended up as personal guidance coming forth from their own spirits instead of the Holy Spirit. In another instance, a woman "prophesied" to the leader of a group that it was time to discontinue teaching them, as God wanted them to begin to stand on their own feet without teaching. Shortly after his ministry was terminated, the leader of the group realized the mistake and contacted him three times wanting to know if he thought the prophecy had been genuine, inasmuch as it was obvious to all that they had not reached such a place of spiritual maturity where they no longer needed Biblical teaching. Christians should not seek guidance by prophecy or visions. We have reference here only to the attempt to seek or give guidance by means of personal prophecy or revelation through some over zealous individual, not to prophecy and visions in general which God does give to His Church for edification, exhortation, and comfort (1 Cor.14:3; Joel 2:28-29). Occasionally, God Himself chooses to speak to us through prophecy and vision in order to lead us, but in every case it will be in harmony with His Word, and it will authenticated by the fact that it is usually a confirmation of what the Spirit has already shown to us personally. Also, occasionally, prophecy becomes the means by which God leads us in order to fulfill His will about some important matter. By Scriptural Teaching; One of the most important channels through which God desires to speak to His people and reveal His will to them is one that few people recognize and appreciate as they should, and that is through the ministry of biblical teaching. Frequently, in a meeting people will come and ask for an appointment for spiritual counseling concerning some question or problem confronting them. Instead, they should first plan to attend all the teaching sessions, inasmuch as God has sent this ministry into their midst at this time to help solve such problems as this for which they feel they need counseling, and that He often gives the necessary guidance through the teaching. On several occasions people who have taken such advice have come afterward and stated that they no longer were in need of counseling as God had given them the answers they needed through the teaching ministry. Certainly God knows the various problems and needs of His people, and that it would be impossible for any one minister to deal with everyone individually who requests counseling and help. Therefore, through the teaching ministry He provides the solution for those who are willing to pay the cost of sacrificing some of their time and interest in other things to avail themselves of it. Sadly, there are some individuals who will not do this. They will insist that you give them individual attention and special time, as they believe that their problems are of such a nature to warrant it, but at the same time they will not avail themselves of the ministry God has sent into their midst to help them. It is useless to expect God to give you special guidance and revelation about some matter when you do not avail yourself of the biblical ministry that He is sending into your locality for precisely this purpose. Your problems and the decisions you must make are not really much different from those of most other Christians. It is only because they affect you personally that you think this. And even if your problems were unusually different, nevertheless, there are certain spiritual principles set forth in God's Word which can be brought forth through teaching which will show you how to deal with your situation and what your responsibility is with regard to it. We have found this to be true time and again. For example, some faith principle which can be applied for healing a disease can also be used to solve a financial or marital problem, if you know what it is and how to apply it. But one must be willing to avail himself of the teaching ministry and literature available in order to learn these truths, for "faith cometh by hearing the Word" (Rom. 10:17). For instance, such passages as Matthew 18:19, Mark 11:22-24; John 14:14; 1 John 5:14-15; Philippians 4:19, and Psalm 37:4 have almost limitless potential for fulfilling practically any need of every description when the believer knows how to apply them and accepts their validity for today. For the thousands who accept the responsibility of learning how to live and walk by faith themselves, they discover that they are able, not only to help themselves, but also liberate others from their problems and oppression. God desires for us to mature to the place where we do not constantly need to be ministered to, but can minister to others and their needs. Through Circumstances; Sometimes God confirms His will to us through circumstances, controlling or changing events in such a way that we are able to recognize His providential hand at work to fulfill His purpose in our lives. God informed Abraham that his descendants would spend 400 years in Egypt before He would bring them forth to inherit the Promised Land (Gen. 15). At the time God told him this, Abraham did not have a single descendant, for as yet Isaac had not been born. From this time, we see God beginning to bring His will for Israel to pass through the providential control of circumstances and events. Twenty-five years later Isaac is born by a miracle to Sarah, who is barren. His son Jacob in turn has twelve sons, one of whom is Joseph, his favorite. Because of envy his brothers sell him into slavery into Egypt, which begins a new phase of the fulfillment of God's plan to get Abraham's descendants into Egypt, a famine later compelling Jacob and all of his descendants to migrate there to live. After several years of hardship and adversity, Joseph had been miraculously elevated to a high position in Egypt by Pharaoh, a divine foresight to prepare the way for the Israelites. Thus, their arrival in Egypt was no accident, nor were they merely victims of circumstances, but we are clearly shown the providential control of God throughout, a fact which Joseph himself discerned (Gen. 50:20). The fulfillment of God's plan for our lives often depends, to some degree at least, upon our awareness of His providential working and controlling our daily affairs and experiences. As stated previously, God's plan for your life did not begin when you were born or when you were converted, but the Scriptures declare that the believer was chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and called to fulfill His glorious plan and purpose (Rom. 8:28-30, Eph. 1:3-6), Moreover, God has often been working in the circumstances of your life for months or years before He reveals some aspect of His purpose to you. We are not to seek guidance by asking God to reveal His will to us through outward circumstances generally, but as we pray for His leading, usually He will impress upon us what course of action to take. Frequently, He will then confirm this inward leading through circumstances and events in our lives, which, if we are spiritually observant enough, can be discerned. CONCLUSION. We do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Col. 1:9) The Apostle prays. It is not sufficient just to have a knowledge of God's will, but as the quotation above indicates, we must also have spiritual wisdom and understanding to be able to apply it and profit from it. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge correctly and effectively. Solomon knew God's will for his life - he was chosen to be the King of Israel. But he was also aware that if he was to succeed in this task and fulfill God's will as he should, then he would need more than mere human wisdom and the limited understanding man acquires through study and by experience so he prayed for the impartation of divine wisdom, discernment, and understanding. Thus, it is one thing to know God's will; it is another to have the wisdom and understanding to apply it. A man may know a very great deal, and yet not be a wise man. Occasionally, for example, we see a student who graduates from college with a high academic standing sometimes fail completely in some career or profession which he has chosen, simply because he lacks the wisdom to apply his knowledge in a practical way to his life. A wise Christian, therefore, is not just one who knows His Lord's will, but he is one who also understands how to use this knowledge in the proper place, in the proper way, and at the proper time. For instance, every believer knows, on the basis of Jesus' clear teaching in John 15, that the Christian is called to "bear fruit." But the mere possession of the knowledge of this fact does not impart to the believer the wisdom to accomplish it, for the churches are literally exhausting themselves in all manner of religious programs and activities in an effort to accomplish God's will in this regard, without any significant achievement. It is one thing for the Christian to know that he has been called to bear fruit, but only the Holy Spirit can reveal to him the understanding that it is not in doing, but in dying that we bear fruit (Jn. 12:24). Paul's prayer is that "you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding ... being fruitful in every good work" (Col. 1:9-10), revealing, thereby, that fruitfulness does not lie merely in knowing God's will, but also in possessing the spiritual wisdom and understanding to apply it. As was shown earlier, fruitfulness is not merely religious activity, such as serving in two or three offices in the church, visiting as many homes as possible in the community to invite people to church, giving out tracts, busyness with churchwork, attending all the services, reading the Bible through at least once a year, and so on. Fruitfulness does not come by religious commotion, but through crucifixion; not by doing, but by dying. God calls no one to work for Him, but to learn to move with Him. This truth is not something one can discern with reason or intellect, but comes as a result of the impartation of divine wisdom and understanding to those who ask for it, "For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Prov. 2:6 ). Again, it is one thing to know that the believer is called to experience a measure of trials and tests of his faith (1 Pet. 2:19f; Jam. 1:2-4), but human wisdom will never help him to see the eternal purpose in those trials, nor enable him to respond in such a way that he will profit and not lose by such sufferings and testing. It requires divine wisdom and understanding to meet temptations, and to bear trials, so that such testing, instead of depressing and defeating the believer, will be able to accomplish God's will and purpose in his life. It requires divine understanding for him to see that Romans 8:28 is valid for him in time of trial and adversity, as well as in time of prosperity and blessing. Thus, when you seek a knowledge of God's will for your life, and for making decisions in important matters, also ask Him for wisdom and spiritual understanding to apply the knowledge He imparts to you, for the Scriptures tell us– Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding (Prov. 4:7). Amen and amen! Edited. Shared. ❤️ God willing, more will be posted soon. All glory to Jesus alone.

❤️HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 4 of 6. How God Makes Known His Will for Specific Decisions and Needs. Continued. This is, in the final analysis, merely an attempt to sanctify doubt and unbelief about healing, as well as an attempt to place the responsibility back on God for the healing. However, if those who attempt to do this knew the Word as they should they would know that God has already placed the responsibility for receiving anything from Him on them, saying, "all things whatsoever YOU shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive" (Mt. 21:22). God has promised that "the prayer of faith shall heal the sick." He did not qualify this by adding "sometimes"; nor did He say that "the prayer of faith shall heal only some types of diseases." If those who are confused would examine the Scriptures carefully on the subject of healing, they would discover that, although there are conditions one must meet, nevertheless, there are no exceptions to God's promises (Num. 23:19, 2 Cor. 1:20). Occasionally someone will relate an alleged exception, citing some instance which they have heard of where some individual had asked God for healing, or was anointed with oil and prayed for, but who, nevertheless, failed to receive healing, or actually died. Invariably, however, when it has been possible to ascertain all the facts in the case, we find that the so-called "exception" to divine healing was not an exception at all, but the failure on someone's part to meet the necessary "conditions." Without reservation God promises in James 5:15 that "the prayer of faith will heal the sick." He gives no exceptions to this promise; but He does, within the same context in which He gives us this promise, set forth several conditions for receiving it. For instance, He states that (1) it is the responsibility of the sick person to call for the elders of the church for prayer for healing (often you will find in the case of an individual who did not receive healing after anointing and prayer that the elders were called to come and pray by some sympathetic friend or member of the family, not by the sick individual himself, who in reality did not know what the Scriptures had to say about the matter, and as a consequence he did not have the faith to appropriate his healing. The reason God requires this condition to be met is simply because that it implies faith on the part of the sick individual for him to take the initiative and call for the elders to come and pray for his healing, (2) the sick are to be anointed with oil; (3) this is to be done in the name of the Lord (Jesus), (4) the sick should confess his faults so that he may be healed; and (5) the prayer of faith is to be offered (Jam. 5:15-16). The neglect of any one of these conditions, when healing is applied for on the basis of James 5, is sufficient reason to nullify the promise. Again in Exodus 15:26 God promises that sickness shall not come upon His people, saying, "I am the Lord that heals you." There are no exceptions to this promise, since the meaning of His Name, Yahweh Ropheka, signifies "I am the Lord that heals you," but there is a condition set forth in this same verse for receiving its application - obedience to His Word. There is prevalent today the popular but unscriptural notion that it is God's will to allow sickness, which He often places upon His children for His glory, or as a blessing in disguise, in order to teach them patience and humility, or to develop a deeper trust in Him. Thus, for most Christians there is only the unhappy prospect of an endless round of going to the doctors and the hospital, being subjected to surgery, and taking medicines and drugs while the medical insurance companies are growing rich in consequence of the mental and physical afflictions which result from their fears and unscriptural ideas concerning sickness. Therefore, Christians must be liberated from their erroneous ideas concerning sickness and healing if they are ever to be able to exercise sufficient faith for healing and health. There is but one way this can be done: through the Word of God, which is a revelation of His will concerning the believer's spiritual, physical, mental, and temporal welfare. It is in God's Word that they will discover that sickness is from Satan (Job 2:6-7; Lu. 13:10-16; 1Cor. 5:5; Acts 10:38), and that healing has been provided and promised by God (Isa. 53:4 with Mt. 8:16-17. Isaiah 53:4 reads Literally in the Hebrew: "Surely he hath carried away our diseases, and borne our pain." Ex. 15:26, Ps. 103:3; Mk. 16:17-18; l Cor.12:28; Jam. 5:14-16, I Pet. 2:24; 3 John 2). Did you know that every believer is invited to walk through life on a pathway literally paved with the promises of God? Did you know that you are promised health and your needs met, as well as spiritual blessings? Did you know that God has promised to give you wisdom, help, and guidance, as well as direct your steps day to day? A promise of God is to be looked upon as you do a check, it is to be endorsed by faith and taken to the bank and cashed. God invites you to open His Word and see just what is on deposit to your account as a joint-heir with Christ. When you do, you will find thousands of promises such as - "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19). "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give you the desires of thine heart" Ps 37:4) . "All things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive" (Matt. 21:22). "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers" (3 John 2). "There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling" (Ps. 91:10). "These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mk. 16:17-18). "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed ... nothing shall be impossible unto you" (Matt. 17:20). "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you" (Isa. 26:3). "The prayer of faith shall heal the sick" (Jam. 5:15). "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation" (Ps. 91:15-16). "I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring" (Isa. 44:3; Acts 16:31). "Seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things (temporal blessings) shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). "Behold, I give unto you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt You"( Lu. 10:19). "If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it" (Jn. 14:14). "If two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 18:19). "What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them" (Mk. 11:24). "No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly" (Ps. 84:11). "All things are yours; whether the world, or life, or death, all things present, all things to come, all are yours" (1 Cor. 3:21-22). "Bless the Lord, O my soul…who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; who redeemed your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfied your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's" (Ps. 103:1-5). "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us, and if we know that if he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him" (1 Jn. 5:14-15). "We may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me" (Heb. 13:6). For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7). "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks It shall be opened" (Matt. 7:7-8). These are just some of the countless promises God has made to us, each of which may be appropriated by an act of faith on our part. In Psalm 37 alone there are over forty promises made to the believers! Most Christians, however, because of erroneous teaching concerning their rights, privileges, position, and inheritance, are going through life like beggars and paupers while walking on a pathway paved with the promises of God. What is the reason for this? The answer is to be found in Jesus' words in John 15:7, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." Because His Word is not abiding in them in any meaningful way the vast majority of Christians today find it difficult to believe that God is also interested in their physical and temporal needs, just as He is in their spiritual welfare. In spite of the fact that He clearly states, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers" (3 Jn. 2). As a result of erroneous teaching, most seem obsessed with the unscriptural notion that a Christian cannot really be spiritual, healthy, and prosperous at the same time. They seem to think that God objects to them being out of debt or a success in life. But you can search the Scriptures from cover to cover and you will not find any place where God encourages His people to be failures in life, sick and diseased, bound to a bed of affliction, or so financially burdened and distressed that they have no time for serving him, or for growth in the spirit. On the contrary, He admonishes us five times in Matthew 8:19f. to "take no thought" for our temporal needs but to put the needs of the kingdom first and that He will supply all that we need. The scriptures declare that our inheritance belongs to us now, whereas the unbelieving contemporary church has insisted that we are not to benefit from these blessings in the present life, but only in the world to come. However, God says that all things are yours now - the world, life, death, things present, as well as things to come (1 Cor. 3:21-22). These blessings and promises do not have to be begged for. God does not have to be persuaded to fulfill His Word to us. Why? Simply because He has already said "yes" to all that He has promised us, even before we ask, "For all the promises of God in him (Christ) are yes, and in him Amen" (2 Cor. 1:20). Do you believe what God offers you in the Scriptures? Do you really accept God's promise that "all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive?" Do you believe God's declaration that you are a joint-heir with Christ? A joint-heir with whom? He did not say that you are a joint-heir with the angels, or with the cherubim or seraphim; He did not say that you are a joint-heir with the apostles or the prophets, but that you are a joint-heir with Christ– He who said that "the gold and silver and the cattle on a thousand hills are mine, and you are a joint-heir with Me". He who said, "All power is given me in heaven and in earth," and I in turn give it unto you, for "in my name you shall cast out devils and lay hands on the sick and they shall recover"; He who said, "My God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory;" yes, it is He who said, "Whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you." If you really believe that you are a joint-heir with Christ, and that all things are yours now, then why do you content yourself any longer with a stone when He offers you bread Lu. 11:9-13)? Why be satisfied with only a drink of water (Jn. 4), when He also promises that a river of water will flow out of you (Jn.7:37-39)? Why lament any longer as the elder brother did because of his lack? Rise up and take your inheritance as his father invited him to do, saying to him, "All things are yours and you have merely to lift up your voice and ask for whatsoever you desire and you shall receive it" (Lu 15:11-31). It is tragic that the churches today are filled with sick and diseased Christians, many of whom are dying prematurely, simply because they have not been taught that God has provided healing for them in Christ's atonement (Isa. 53) and promised it to them in His Word, and that they could appropriate it for themselves if they too would but ask! God said long ago that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hos. 4:6). When God's Word abides in your heart as it should, then you will come to see that it is God's will that you begin to possess your possessions now by faith as a testimony that His Word is true, and in order that you might be free of sickness, fear, worry, and anxiety, and also liberated from financial bondage in order to serve Him effectively. But until you search the Word and believe your inheritance, then life will consist for you, as for most Christians, of 365 days of just getting by somehow, days filled with cares, problems and worries, hoping that you can stay well for a few weeks at a time, praying that the old car will hold out through the winter, begging God to help you keep your head above water financially and pay of the mortgage eventually before you die, hoping and praying that God, some day and some how, will save your children, and so on. Such a mediocre form of existence is not God's will for His children, because He has revealed in the Scriptures the key to victorious living 385 days a year, for it is in the Word that we find that God has given an extensive revelation of His will and purpose for us. The Scriptures are filled with divine assurances and promises of our rights, privileges, position, and authority. God assures us that we are joint-heirs with Christ, seated in the heavens with Him, far above all principalities and powers, and that He has made adequate provision for our every temporal and spiritual need, as well as for the accomplishment of His will. He has promised us that all these provisions and blessings are available to the extent that we are willing to press through by faith and appropriate them. To be ignorant of this abundance of revelation concerning His will, either because of our neglect of study, or due to a lack of biblical teaching, is to be ignorant of the main source of knowledge concerning His will for us. Therefore, it is useless to pray for God to reveal His will for you, or give you special guidance regarding such matters as, for example, healing, deliverance, divine protection, salvation of loved ones, walking by faith, provision for temporal needs, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, marriage and divorce, the crucified life, our rights and inheritance, or how to obtain His blessings and promises. He has already furnished a written revelation of His will for us concerning such matters, saying, "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." Thus, the Scriptures themselves are one of the main sources of knowledge concerning God's will and how we are to apply it to our needs; it is only to the extent we know His Word that we will know His will, for the Psalmist tells us, "Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Ps. 119:105). Through Prayer: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him (Jam. 1:5). We have clearly offered here, a gracious encouragement to ask for divine guidance, with the definite promise that the necessary impartation of wisdom will be given. This method of ascertaining the will of God is so obvious it is often overlooked by many Christians. Do you need wisdom in making some important decisions? Is there a problem confronting you that seems to defy solution? Do you desire to know God's will about some matter before taking action? Have you tried asking God? "Ask God?" is often the puzzled reply. "No, I have asked the pastor. Our family physician was consulted once or twice, as was our analyst. And the opinion of some close friends has been occasionally sought, but ask God? Frankly I was not aware that we were supposed to ask Him concerning daily personal decisions which we must make. Such as regarding a solution to things such as domestic problems, changing places of employment, selling a home or business, moving to another state to live, which church to attend, whom to marry, or planning a career. Are we really to pray about such things? Will God actually give us the solution to such problems and needs? Can we receive divine guidance merely by asking for it?" many bewildered Christians inquire. Yes. You may learn God's will about some particular matter by asking Him to show you, "for everyone that asks receives" (Mt 7:8), and "you have not because you ask not" (Jam. 4:2). If you lack an understanding concerning God's will about some matter, if you are confused or uncertain about some decision you must make, and you have met the the conditions just discussed concerning consecration and abiding in His Word, then it can only mean that you have not asked in faith for the solution, for He clearly states in James 1:5 that if we lack wisdom, we need but to ask and it shall be given. Assuming you have met the other conditions, then your knowledge of God's will in your life will come in direct proportion to your asking. God does not make such a promise carelessly. If we lack understanding, it is because we do not ask of Him. Too many Christians find it easier to ask for advice from the pastor, marriage counselor, psychiatrist, or some acquaintance, instead of devoting this time to meeting the necessary conditions, then asking of God and waiting upon Him to reveal His will in the matter. Yes, it is necessary to wait upon the Lord to answer in His own time and way, for although He promises in Psalm 91:15, "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him," God has also told us to "wait on the Lord: be at good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord" (Ps 27:14). Because they feel that a more direct approach to the matter will not only bring an easier but also a more prompt solution to the problem, most Christians seem to favor seeking local assistance from others, reserving their communications with heaven to those instances when all other avenues seem to be closed. As a result, they have come to look upon prayer much as they do a fire escape–to be used only in case of an emergency. Although God promises to reveal His will to those who will ask, it must be emphasized, however, that prayer is only as effective as our obedience to the conditions God has set forth. This illustrates the importance of being grounded in the Word of God, for only in this way can we remove any hindrance to the revelation of His will. He invites us to ask for wisdom and guidance, but He conditions this, for instance, by saying that if we regard iniquity in our hearts He will not hear our prayers (Ps. 66:18; Isa. 59:1-2). He tells us in 1 John 5:14-15 that we must conform our prayers to His Word, for we are promised that if we ask anything according to His will, then He hears us and grants to us the petition which we desire. Again, we are told that "He that turns away his ear from hearing the Word, even his prayer shall be an abomination" (Prov. 28:9). Edited. Shared.

‎Theme for the month of July: "The School of the Marketplace.' ‎Wednesday Morning, July 1, 2026 ‎Topic: The Economics of Deliverance ‎Texts: Amos 5:14-15, 21-24, Psalm 50:7-13 and Matthew 8:28-34  ‎Memory Verse: Matthew 8:34 ‎Opening Prayer ‎Lord of True Valuation, I enter the marketplace this morning carrying the heavy, tangled priorities of my culture. I confess that my peace is too often tied to the predictability of my income, the stability of my career, and the preservation of my assets. Give me the courage today to welcome Your disruptive presence, even if it costs me my comfort. Teach me the terrifying mathematics of the Kingdom, where the salvation of a single soul is worth infinitely more than the profit of the herd. ‎Hymn ‎"Be Thou My Vision" ‎Introduction: The Disruption of the Ledger ‎Welcome to July, and welcome to the School of the Marketplace. We spend the vast majority of our waking hours navigating the treacherous waters of commerce, career progression, and financial survival. We want God to bless our ledgers, to stabilize our economies, and to give us a peaceful, profitable Wednesday. ‎But today’s Gospel narrative aggressively shatters the illusion of the safe, domestic Savior. Jesus steps onto the shores of the Gadarenes and is immediately met by two men possessed by an incredibly violent demonic force. To deliver these men, Jesus permits the demons to enter a massive herd of pigs, which immediately rushes down the steep bank into the sea and perishes. ‎Jesus secured a miraculous, unprecedented spiritual victory. Two hopeless, exiled men were completely restored to their right minds. Yet, what was the reaction of the town? Did they throw a festival? Did they worship? No. The text says the whole town came out and begged Jesus to leave their region. ‎Why? Because deliverance was bad for the local economy. The pigs represented their profit, their retirement accounts, and their economic stability. ‎As the sharp-minded apologist C.S. Lewis noted: ‎"We are not merely imperfect creatures who must be improved: we are, as Newman said, rebels who must lay down our arms. The first demand of the gospel is that we should realize the cost of our rebellion." ‎The Revelation Codex asks a searing question of you this morning: Do you only want Jesus in your home and your workplace when He is increasing your profit margin? What happens when His righteousness demands a financial loss? ‎Reflection: The Geography of the Profit ‎The Stench of the False Offering (Amos 5:21-24): In our first reading, God speaks through the prophet Amos to a wealthy, religious society, saying: "I hate, I despise your religious festivals... Away with the noise of your songs! But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" The people were keeping all the religious rules while engaging in corrupt business practices in the marketplace. ‎The Codex Mirror: You cannot use your morning devotion as a bribe to keep God from examining your Wednesday business ethics. Are there "pigs" in your career—compromised practices, subtle dishonesties, or investments of your time that are morally toxic—that you are fiercely protecting because they make you money? ‎The Plea of the Comfortable (Matthew 8:34): The townspeople preferred manageable demons over economic disruption. They knew the two demon-possessed men were violent, but they had learned to live around them. What terrified them more than the demons was the absolute, uncontainable authority of a God who cared nothing for their profit margins. ‎The Codex Mirror: When God disrupts our financial plans—a lost promotion, an unexpected expense, or a career shift required for our family’s health—our first instinct is to panic and beg Him to back away. We must stop mourning the loss of the herd when God is busy saving the household. ‎Life Application: The Valuation Shift ‎The Economic Audit: Examine your anxieties for today. Are you sacrificing the peace of your marriage or the spiritual health of your children in order to protect a specific financial goal or career trajectory? Identify the "herd" you are valuing over your soul. ‎The Posture of the Open Hand: As you log into your computer or walk into your workplace today, verbally declare: *"Lord, my income is subordinate to Your righteousness. If there is anything in my professional life that hinders my spiritual freedom, You have my permission to drive it out." ‎The REVELATION CODEX: Transcribing the Codex ‎Write the answers to these questions in your REVELATION CODEX Notebook, Phone or PC Notebook. Help yourself Give honest and sincere answers. ‎WHAT I HEAR (The Rhema Word): ‎(What specific financial fear or career idol is the Holy Spirit asking you to loosen your grip on this morning?) ‎WHAT I SEE (The Discernment): ‎(Where is the enemy tempting you to compromise your integrity or family time today just to protect your bottom line?) ‎WHAT I RECEIVE (The Impartation): (Receive the radical, uncompromising priority of the Kingdom. Secure your true valuation here.) ‎Conclusion ‎You are not defined by the size of your portfolio, and your ultimate security is not anchored in your employer's stability. Do not walk into your Wednesday afraid of losing what you cannot keep. You serve the Lord who values your spiritual freedom above every currency in the world. Step into the marketplace today with absolute integrity, trusting that the God who delivers is also the God who provides. ‎Closing Prayer ‎Father, I surrender my professional ambitions and my financial fears to You. Forgive me for the times I have preferred the quiet comfort of my compromises over the disruptive power of Your holiness. Give me a heart that rejoices in the deliverance of my family more than the increase of my wealth. Be the absolute Lord of my ledger today. Amen. ‎Shalom ‎09065125704 ‎Go and Win With God Now! ‎ ‎https://m.me/ch/AbapwI5clhD1NROD/?send_source=cm%3Acopy_invite_link ‎

‎Topic: The Sleep of the Sovereign in the Vessel of Crisis ‎Tuesday June 30, 2026 ‎Texts: Amos 3:1-8, 4:11-12, Psalm 5:4-8 and Matthew 8:23-27  ‎Memory Verde: Matthew 8:27 ‎Opening Prayer ‎O Master of the Deep, I step into the vessel of this Tuesday morning feeling the subtle, rising panic of the winds around me. The financial spreadsheets look like gathering clouds, the tension in my home feels like shifting currents, and the sheer weight of my responsibilities threatens to pull me under. Forgive me for confusing Your silence with absence. Give me the profound grace today to look away from the crashing waves and fix my eyes on the unshakeable rest of the King sleeping in my boat. Amen. ‎Hymn ‎*"It Is Well With My Soul" ‎Introduction: The Storm That Scares the Experts ‎Monday was about breaking the chains; Tuesday is about surviving the sea. You have embarked on your week, but in today’s Gospel narrative, Jesus and His disciples step into a boat, These disciples were not amateur tourists; they were seasoned, hardened fishermen who had spent their entire lives on the Sea of Galilee. *"Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"* means this was not an ordinary squall. It was a crisis that entirely overwhelmed their human expertise. ‎ As the courageous holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom profoundly noted: ‎"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." ‎The *Revelation Codex* calls you to audit your panic this morning. The storm is real, but the terror is a choice. You are about to discover that the safety of your vessel is not determined by the calmness of the water, but by the identity of your passenger. ‎Reflection: The Geography of the Squall ‎The Roar of the Lion (Amos 3:8): In today's first reading, the prophet Amos declares, *"The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy?"* God uses the terrifying imagery of a roaring lion to remind Israel of His absolute, uncontainable authority. We often fear the wrong roar. We tremble at the roar of the economy, the roar of a difficult boss, or the roar of a rebellious teenager. ‎  The Codex Mirror: What "lion" is roaring at you this morning, trying to convince you that it has the final say over your survival? You must remind your fears that they are subject to the True Lion of the Tribe of Judah. ‎The Cushion of the Sovereign (Matthew 8:24-26): The waves are crashing, the boat is filling, and Jesus is... asleep. He is not asleep out of exhaustion or apathy; He is asleep because the storm poses absolutely zero threat to His eternal purpose. When the disciples wake Him, He does not immediately rebuke the storm. He rebukes *them* first: *"You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" The Codex Mirror: Your panic over your children or your bank account is often an accusation against God's character. You are screaming, *"Don't you care?"* The Lord’s quiet rest is an invitation to step off the deck of your own frantic management and sit beside Him in the stern. ‎ Life Application: Anchoring in the Gale ‎The Posture of the Stern: When the first chaotic email, domestic argument, or financial stressor hits you today, do not immediately react. Take a physical, deep breath, lean back, and mentally step into the stern of the boat. Say: *"My Savior is not panicking over this, so neither will I."* ‎The Silent Rebuttal: The enemy will try to capsize your peace through a specific fear today. Rebut it instantly with the memory verse. Remind yourself that the winds of your specific crisis *must* obey His voice. ‎The REVELATION CODEX: Transcribing the Codex ‎WHAT I HEAR (The Rhema Word): ‎ (What specific storm in your marriage or finances is the Spirit commanding you to stop panicking over right ‎WHAT I SEE (The Discernment): ‎ (Where is the enemy trying to use your own expertise and self-reliance to cause you to sink today?) ` ‎WHAT I RECEIVE (The Impartation):** *(Take the profound, unshakeable peace of the sleeping Christ from the altar. Secure it here for your Tuesday.) ‎Conclusion ‎The winds of this Tuesday will blow, and the waters of the marketplace will churn, but your boat cannot sink. You carry the Maker of the Oceans within you. Stop relying on your own navigational skills to save your family. Rest in the supreme, unbothered authority of the Sovereign. ‎ Closing Prayer ‎> *Lord of the Wind and Waves, forgive me for my frantic efforts to bail out my own life. I surrender my financial fears, my marital frustrations, and my parental anxieties to You. When the storm hits today, keep my heart anchored in Your presence. Let me walk in such profound peace that the world looks at me and asks, "What kind of faith is this?" Amen. ‎Shalom ‎09065125704 ‎Go and Win With God Now! ‎ ‎https://m.me/ch/AbapwI5clhD1NROD/?send_source=cm%3Acopy_invite_link ‎

‎LIFE GATE DAILY: A Quiet Time Manual With REVELATION CODEX  for Spiritual Excellence By Pastor Babajide Charles Ihimodu ( The Narrow Way Christian Ministries) ‎Sunda,y June 28, 2026 ‎Morning ‎Topic: The Architecture of the Upper Room ‎Texts: ⁴ 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a, Psalm 89:2-3, 16-19, Romans 6:3-4, 8-11 and Matthew 10:37-42  ‎Memory Verse: Matthew 10:39 ‎Opening Prayer ‎Lord of the Sabbath, I awake this morning and step away from the crowded, noisy streets of my own ambitions. I confess that my mind is often so cluttered with earthly anxieties that there is no space for Your presence to rest. As I prepare to enter Your sanctuary today with Your people, I ask You to clear away the debris of my distractions. Help me build a quiet upper room in my soul today—a space dedicated entirely to You, where Your word can take root and Your peace can dwell. Amen. ‎Hymn ‎"Take My Life and Let It Be" ‎Introduction: Making Room for the Holy ‎We enter Sunday morning seeking a divine encounter, hoping God will speak to our exhaustion and replenish our souls for the week ahead. Yet, we often walk into corporate worship with minds utterly jam-packed with the luggage of the marketplace. . ‎In today’s first reading, a wealthy Shunammite woman recognise the holiness of the prophet Elisha passing through her town. She does not just offer him a quick meal; she completely alters the architecture of her home. She says to her husband, *"Let us make a small roof chamber with walls, and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp."* She built a dedicated space for the holy. ‎“Christ says ‘Give me all. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it... Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself.’--C.S. Lewis ‎Today, The Revelation Codex asks you a piercing question: Have you made room for the King, or is He just a passing visitor in the crowded house of your life? To find the true life Christ promises, you must deliberately lose the cluttered life you are so desperately trying to hold together. ‎Reflection: The Cost of the Open Door ‎The Furnished Chamber (2 Kings 4:10):** The Shunammite woman didn't just clear a corner; she provided a bed (rest), a table (communion), a chair (attention), and a lamp (revelation). True spiritual hospitality requires intentionality. ‎The Codex Mirror: When you sit in the pew today, what will occupy your mind? Are you providing the Holy Spirit a chair of undivided attention, or will you spend the hour mentally scrolling through tomorrow's to-do list? ‎The Cross of Relinquishment (Matthew 10:38-39): Jesus speaks a hard, violent truth: to be worthy of Him, you must take up your cross. The cross is an instrument of death to your right to rule yourself. We lose our lives by surrendering our tight grip on our own agendas. ‎The Codex Mirror: The miracle of the Shunammite woman was that in making room for the prophet, she was given the one thing she thought was impossible—a son. When you empty yourself of your own demands this morning and give God the space, He fills it with resurrection life. ‎Life Application: Clearing the Space ‎THE DIGITAL FAST: Refuse to look at your emails, social media, or news feeds before you enter corporate worship today. Keep the upper room of your mind completely empty of the world's noise so it is ready for the Word. ‎THE OPEN HAND: As the worship music begins today, physically open your hands and rest them palms-up on your lap. Let it be a physical declaration: "I am holding onto nothing. My life is Yours." ‎REVELATION CODEX: Transcribing the Codex. Write the answers to these questions in your REVELATION CODEX Notebook, Phone or PC Notebook. Help yourself, Give honest and sincere answers: ‎WHAT I HEAR (The Rhema Word): (What specific earthly affection or worry is the Spirit asking you to move out of the way today to make room for Him?) ` ‎WHAT I SEE (The Discernment) ‎(Where is the enemy trying to crowd your mind with distractions to keep you from experiencing deep corporate worship this morning?) ‎WHAT I RECEIVE (The Impartation): ‎(Take the grace of a cleared mind and an open heart from the altar right now. ‎Conclusion ‎You do not have to fight for your own life today. Step out of the exhausting business of self-preservation. Build the room, light the lamp, and prepare the table. Go into the house of the Lord today completely empty of yourself, and watch how quickly the Father fills the space. ‎Closing Prayer ‎Father, I surrender my schedule, my reputation, and my earthly affections to You. I want to lose my life in Yours. As I join the congregation of the saints today, keep my mind sharp and my spirit attentive. Let my heart be a furnished room where Your presence is honoured above all else. Amen.

‎LIFE GATE DAILY:A Quiet Time Manual for Spiritual Excellence by Pastor Babajide Charles Ihimodu (The Narrow Way Christian Ministries) ‎Saturday, June 20, 2026 ‎Morning ‎Topic: Protecting Your Heart From the Anxiety of Scarcity ‎Texts: Matthew 6:19-21 and Psalm 119:11, 36-37 ‎Memory Verse: Matthew 6:21 ‎Introduction ‎We wake up every morning to a world that tells us we are only as secure as our bank accounts, our job titles, or our social media likes. We frantically stack up these earthly bricks, hoping to build a fortress that nothing can touch. But Jesus steps into our morning rush with a radical, soul-shaking reality check: your external security is an illusion. ‎As the great martyr Jim Elliot famously wrote: *“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”* Today, the *Revelation Codex* calls you to audit your heart. We must stop wasting our strength trying to insure a life destined to rust, and instead step into the deep, unshakeable peace of God's immediate presence. ‎Deep Reflection: The Gravity of What We Hold ‎The Rust Factor (Matthew 6:19-20): Think about the things you worried about most this past week. Was it a financial buffer? Someone else's opinion? Your status? Jesus points out that earthly treasures have an expiration date—moths eat them from the inside, rust corrodes their value, and thieves dig through our defences to steal them. When we tie our joy to things that can depreciate, we live in constant anxiety. ‎Your Experience: What is the one thing you are holding so tightly today that the thought of losing it makes your chest tight? That is your functional "treasure." ‎The Compass of the Soul (Matthew 6:21): Notice the order of Jesus' words: your heart follows your treasure. We often think we give our time and money to what we love, but Jesus says the reverse is true. Whatever you invest your money, your time, and your midnight worries into will automatically pull your affections right behind it. ‎Your Experience: If someone looked at your calendar and your bank statement from the last seven days, where would they say your heart is currently pointing? ‎ “The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One.” — **A.W. Tozer ‎ Life Application ‎The Silent Release: Name the biggest financial or material worry you have right now. Consciously hand it over to God this morning and tell Him, *"I refuse to let a temporary asset rule my peace today."* ‎The Invisible But Tangible Deposit: Do one small, kind act for someone today—like buying a colleague a meal or doing a chore no one likes ( Cleaning the pews at your Church) and intentionally keep it a secret so only God knows. ‎REVELATION CODEX (Now write your Name, Revelation Codex as the Subject of your new Notebook or Jotter and Date it. Begin to respond to the Surveys. Keep them safely and continue to pray about them): Transcribing the Codex (Read the Texts again and quietly listen in your spirit) ‎WHAT I HEAR (The Rhema Word): ‎(What quiet direction is the Spirit whispering to you right now?) `_____________________________________________________________________________________ ‎WHAT I SEE (The Discernment): ‎(Where is the enemy using financial fear or comparison to trap you today?) _____________________________________________________________________________________ ‎WHAT I RECEIVE (The Impartation): ‎(What specific grace or unshakeable peace are you taking from the altar right now?) `_______________________________________________________________________________________ ‎Conclusion ‎At the end of the day, you cannot serve two masters. You will either spend your life anxiously managing a kingdom of dust, or you will rest in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. Choose to keep your eyes fixed on the Father today. Let the world scramble for what fades; your wealth is secure because your Saviour is eternal. ‎Closing Prayer ‎Father, thank You for being my true security. Deliver me from the exhausting trap of self-preservation and the fear of scarcity. Open my hands today so that I can live generously, love deeply, and trust You completely with my future. Amen. ‎Shalom ‎09065125704 ‎Go and Win With God Now! ‎https://m.me/ch/AbapwI5clhD1NROD/?send_source=cm%3Acopy_invite_link
