Love is Worth Than Understanding

It’s hard to understand people when they are closed to you. You are trying so hard to understand them – why are they act like that, what are they thinking, what are their hobbies, what presents they love, what they want,  what makes them happy, what makes them excited, what makes them smile and friendly with you. 

But it’s easy to love them. When you choose to love them for who they are. When you made a choice to express yourselves in simple way by loving them. Not trying to understand them. Human means to be loved not are subject to be understood. The more you trying to understand, the more you stress and confuse. That’s why, you don’t need to understand, just enough with loving. 

In conclusion, love is more than worth than understanding. Understanding is come when you start to love. 

Dream about Salvation

Night, full of awesome dream. Like a real feeling and exactly like it happen:

I'm looking towards a very large stage. A person who is testifying on stage, I feel very excited and listen diligently hear. However, what she said was not clearly audible. Then, she called me .

The person on the stage: "I want to invite someone who is very important for me to be on stage with me.I give this space to speak..my shepherd . "

I was pretty surprising that I respond on its own. I stand and I sees many peoples are there. What I realized then was that the person who invited that is named Aiza. Her face is not very clearl but I know he is a lamb of God being taught and grow.

While I'm still talking about the gospel of God, suddenly I felt something unusual happens and encourage us all to worship God. Then, the salvation happen all over the place. All the people rejoice! God does the signs and wonders when his name preach all over the place. I'm feeling very happy at the time and I do not know how this happened. It is exactly happened. Healing, miracles and signs happened. That's what I realized at the time. I am very impressed with the power of God tough I wonder how this happened. Those who witnessed were repent and be saved in the name of Jesus. Because of too many people there, both of us - me and Aiza - divided into two groups to pray for salvation at the time.

Then, the people who been rescued back to their homes and also testified about the signs and wonders that they see. People who heard the testimony in their village had been believed and safe. Every sign and wonder they heard, the testimony of their relatives have made their hearts believed and repented. Although, they do not see the signs and wonders, but their hearts are still in disbelief. They accept Jesus in their home with joy and blessed heart. They praise God because of His goodness, mercay and grace!

Suddenly, we were stand in a river and do water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. When the baptism occurred, the water suddenly became flood. However, I had told them, " Do not move from this place. Lets pray, I believe that God will do amazing things in this place. The water will be recede!" God answers our prayers, and then quickly once the water receded. Once again, miracles happen and people glorify God for the miraculous things that happened to the people who baptized by the name of Jesus Christ. Their relative who standing beside came too and accept Jesus. Then, they were baptized together with others.

Salvation not just happened to the others who saw the miracle happened, but also the storyteller and the witness to others. People that heard the testimonies come to believed the power of God and be saved. Their faith make them brave and accepted God in their life. The grace of God is in this place! Amen!

IT WILL BE HAPPEN! IN THE NAME OF JESUS ​​CHRIST! AMEN !

Mimpi Tentang Keselamatan

Malam yang penuh dengan mimpi yang menggerunkan. Seperti perasaan yang sebenar dan seperti ianya betul-betul terjadi:

Saya melihat ke arah pentas yang sangat besar. Seseorang yang sedang bersaksi di atas pentas tersebut, saya rasa sangat teruja dan mendengar dengar tekun. Walau bagaimanapun, apa yang dikatakannya tidak jelas didengar. Kemudian, dia memanggil saya.

Orang yang di atas pentas: "Saya ingin menjemput seorang yang sangat penting untuk saya berada di atas pentas bersama dengan saya. Saya memberikan ruang ini untuk gembala saya berucap."

Yang agak menghairankan saya ialah saya respon dengan sendirinya. Saya angkat dan melihat ramai sekali orang berada di bawah pentas. Apa yang saya sedar ketika itu ialah orang yang menjemput itu adalah bernama Aiza. Wajahnya tidak begitu jelas tetapi saya tahu dia adalah domba Tuhan yang menjadi diajar dan bertumbuh.

Ketika saya masih lagi bercakap mengenai Injil Tuhan, tiba-tiba saya merasakan sesuatu yang luar biasa terjadi dan mendorong semua kami untuk menyembah Tuhan. Kemudian, ketika itu ramai yang diselamatkan. Ramai yang bergembira. Tuhan melakukan tanda dan mukjizat saat memberitakan nama-Nya. Perasaan saya ketika itu sangat gembira dan saya tidak tahu bagaimana ini terjadi. Ianya seperti betul-betul terjadi. Penyembuhan, mukjizat dan tanda-tanda terjadi. Itu yang saya sedari ketika itu. Saya merasa sangat kagum walaupun kehairan dengan kuasa Tuhan. Mereka yang menyaksikan hal itu telah bertobat dan diselamatkan dalam nama Yesus. Oleh kerana terlampau ramai orang, kami berdua - saya dan Aiza - berbahagi kepada dua kumpulan untuk berdoa bagi keselamatan ketika itu.

Kemudian, orang yang diselamatkan itu pergi ke rumah masing-masing dan bersaksi pula tentang tanda dan mukjizat yang mereka saksikan. Orang yang mendengar kesaksian di kampung mereka telah menjadi percaya dan beriman. Setiap tanda dan mukjizat yang mereka dengar dari kesaksian saudara-saudari mereka telah membuatkan hati mereka percaya dan mahu bertobat. Meskipun, mereka tidak melihat tanda dan mukjizat, tetapi hati mereka tetap percaya. Mereka menerima keselamatan di rumah masing-masing dengan hati yang gembira. Mereka memuji Tuhan akan segala kebaikan-Nya

Tiba-tiba kami berada di sebuah sungai dan melakukan baptisan air dalam nama Yesus Kristus. Ketika pembaptisan itu terjadi, tiba-tiba air menjadi bah dengan cepat sekali. Walau bagaimanapun, saya telah menyatakan dengan percaya kepada mereka, "Jangan berganjak dari tempat ini. Mari berdoa, saya percaya Tuhan akan melakukan perkara yang luar biasa di tempat ini. Air ini pasti akan surut!" Tuhan menjawab doa kami, dan kemudian dengan cepat sekali air surut. Sekali lagi mukjizat terjadi sehingga orang memuliakan Allah akan perkara ajaib untuk orang yang mahu dibaptiskan. Saudara  mereka yang berada di tempat itu pun datang ke tengah sungai dan menerima Yesus. Kemudian, mereka turut dibaptiskan secara langsung di sana bersama dengan yang lain.

Yang menyaksikan bukan hanya setakat percaya dan diselamatkan, tetapi juga menjadi pencerita dan kesaksian kepada yang lain. Yang mendengar menjadi percaya akan kuasa Tuhan dan diselamatkan. Imanlah yang membuat mereka berani dan menerima Tuhan. Kasih Karunia Tuhan ada ditempat itu! Amen!

IA PASTI AKAN TERJADI! DALAM NAMA YESUS KRISTUS! AMEN!

SUCCESS BY THE SUPERNATURAL

Memorise:
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Proverbs 4:18

Read: Isaiah 1:18–19

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Message

How do you live great and die great? How does a person experience good success in perpetuity? It is by drawing upon the supernatural for good success. How does a man do this? The first thing to do is to know God, the Author of success.

The first step to knowing God is to know who you are as a human being. The scriptures confirms that man is the epitome of God’s creation (Genesis 1:27). Man is a great being because He was made in the image of God. You should however know that all men have sinned, and the wages of sin is death. In the area of sin, man is helpless because he cannot save himself. Only Jesus, who is God that came in the form of man, can save man from sin. Man can only experience smooth fellowship with God when he is delivered from sin. The second step to knowing God is to confess your weaknesses, short-comings, failures and misdemeanours to God. After this, repent whole-heartedly and accept God’s salvation. It is not enough to know God. Whoever will draw upon the supernatural for good success should love God. Loving God is crucial in your bid to experience good success. You should love God because He first loved you. In addition to loving God, you should endeavour to please Him. When a man’s way pleases God, the Almighty will cause even his enemies to be at peace with Him. You should also fellowship with God. One of the main reasons for the creation of man was God’s desire for fellowship. You enjoy fellowship with God when you enter His gates with sincere thanksgiving as His child. Recognise the Name of Jesus and call on Him. You should pay your vows, which includes dealing thoroughly with sins. To remain in fellowship with God, you should never usurp His glory. Speak constantly to the Father in the Spirit and glorify Jesus through the Spirit. Proper fellowship produces great results, such as divine provision, divine protection, divine prosperity and divine promotion. Added to fellowship is asking. Whoever will draw upon the supernatural for good success should learn to ask God for success through prayers and fasting. Thanksgiving is also crucial to this experience. As a Christian who wishes to experience good success always, you should give thanks always. Let your thanksgiving outnumber your requests. Thank God for who He is, what He has done, who you are, what you have and for what you will have.

Action Point:
Thanksgiving is crucial to drawing upon the supernatural for good success. Spend quality time in thanksgiving to God today.

Create With Your Words

Leverage daily devotional by pastor segun obadje.                                        Sunday, October 26
CREATE WITH YOUR WORDS
Mark 11:22-23; Proverbs 18:21

Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."" God did not create man to live at the mercy of people nor situations and circumstances. Man was born of God a king to rule and reign over all the earth,  the birds of the air, the fishes in the oceans, the animals that creep on the earth and the entire plant kingdom. Everything God made was at man's mercy, not the other way round. God made man like Himself. God rules by His Word. His words are decrees; His orders are laws. Man was made a king like God to rule by his decrees. He was made with the capacity to command a thing and see it materialize in no time. Man was made in the image and in the likeness of God (Gen.1:26). The first man fell from that prestigious place. Jesus came as his substitute and rescued mankind from corruption. Now, you can rule your world with the spoken Word. In Christ Jesus, we have been restored back to dignity and power. Too few of us have realized that our words create our world. The realities that are before you today were created by the words you spoke yesterday. You can chart your course in life by the words you speak. In Christ Jesus, you are a king, and your words carry power. You shouldn't speak empty, idle, inactive words. You should carefully select your words by wisdom, such that when you see what you said, you'll be glad. Beloved, speak what you believe and see it leap into being for you. Create your world with your words. You can enjoy life as a king, not as a beggar who lives life at the mercy of other people.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Genesis 1:1-3; Genesis 1:26

My Solid Front (Confession)
In the Name of Jesus, as one made in the likeness of God, I declare that I am blessed beyond measure. I declare that I am more than a conqueror and I always triumph in all sphere of life. Amen

The Sheild of Faith

Leverage daily devotional by pastor segun obadje.                                                          Saturday, October 25
THE SHIELD OF FAITH
Hebrews 11:33-34; 1 John5:4

Ephesians 6:16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked". Faith is not only a weapon of attack but also of defense. Our opening scripture reveals that faith is a shield; it uses the expression "shield of faith". What does it shield from? It shields from the fiery darts of the wicked one, that is, the devil and all his demonic hosts. This not only reveals the importance of faith but also its potency. Faith is indispensable and inevitable in our walk with God and in our spiritual combat. Faith is absolute confidence in God through His Word that makes the heart come to rest in His faithfulness, such that one speaks, thinks and acts the Word unconsciously. This is amazing, isn't it? This is the confidence faith in God breeds that immunes you to all (note the word, ALL) the fiery darts of the wicked. Faith in God can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked; not some, but absolutely all. This brings to mind the limitlessness of faith in adequately dealing with all, magnitude and type notwithstanding, the fiery darts of the wicked. The Word tells us in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". We have confidence in God based on His Word that He is our secret place of safety and that we're in Christ, the Solid Rock of Ages; and we are thinking in line, talking in line and acting in line with this truth of God's Word. Beloved, you may not be able to stop the enemy from throwing his fiery darts, but you can always stop ALL his fiery darts from reaching you by engaging the shield of faith, which is absolute confidence in God based on His Word. Don't think like or talk like or act like God is not for you. Never doubt His love and support for you. Don't remove the shield of faith.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Job 22:25 Psalm 94:22

My Solid Front (Confession)
In the Name of Jesus, I declare that, by the protective shield of faith I am impregnable by all the fiery darts of the devil. Amen.

The Bread Of Life

The Leverage daily devotional by pastor segun obadje                                                    Friday, October 24
THE BREAD OF LIFE
Proverbs 4:20-22; John 1:1-3

: Matthew 4:4 "But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"". Bread is a term which stands for food in Scriptures. It depicts the substance of sustenance. Natural bread sustains natural life, while spiritual bread sustains spiritual life. The Word of God is the bread of spiritual life. Man is essentially a spirit being whose spirit substance needs to be sustained consistently. Jesus said in John 6:63, "it is the spirit that gives life the word I speak unto you are spirit and life"". The spirit of man is sustained and energized by the Word of God. Light and understanding for progress comes to man through his spirit by the Word of God. Man lives by the Word of God. Our sustenance and nourishment comes from God's Word. A famished spirit that is starved of God's Word cannot function effectively in the realm of the God-kind. We have to be well fed with God's Word to realize all the possibilities and realities of the life of God in us. Beloved, feed your spirit with God's Word through meditating, confessing and acting on God's Word. Live by the Word of God daily.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Colossians 3:16; Joshua 1:8

My Solid Front (Confession)
In the Name of Jesus, The Word of God is food for my spirit, I consistently depend on God's word for my well-being, I live by the Word. Amen.
