THE STAR IN YOU

 "We have a more sure word of prophecy; to which you do well taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until this day shall have dawned and the morning Star shall have risen in your hearts'

The morning Star, also known as the day star in this passage of scripture is the Lord Jesus the Christ!

He is the Star that lights up other stars, the "bright & morning star" who shines by day and by night.

He is the Star the wise follow, He is the Star the wise honor and He is the Star the wise worship!

He is the Star in the believer, who lights us up from within. He is the Star whose light rids our souls of darkness, He is the living Star who lives within us and gives our lives a meaning.

He is the bright and morning Star whose rays heal as the Sun of righteousness. His Light lights up men even unto eternal life!

He is the Star who captains the stars of the churches, He is the Star who light lights up the believer and the churches, He is the source of our visibility and the light in us that cannot be put out despite the odds and the challenges.

This Star is the focus of God's kingdom, creations greatest impact, and the source of light in the kingdom of heaven.

This Star is the reason we can shine for He is our living hope, He is the morning Star that wants to shine in you and through you.

This Star leads even as He lead the Magi of old.

As of old He can still be trusted to lead us in contemporary times.

He leads us to His glory and for our benefit.

He leads us into purpose and destiny.

He leads in truth, with compassion, and mercy.

Jesus Christ is the living Star that can be trusted.

Star gazers of old trusted the leading of this Star for a journey of about two years and they were accounted wise for it.

You will be wise to gaze at Jesus today!

Focus on Him like the Magi of old who were held spell bound by His Star.

Gaze upon Him today through the pages of the scriptures like the Magi of old found Him through the constellations.

O believer, look within; for He is the living Star on the inside of you who wants to rise in you today. He is in you, His kingdom is within you, His Spirit is within you, let His word be within you!

Be free to shine!

Let Your Star Shine!

 

'Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight" is part of the lyrics from an eighties song by Madonna titled Lucky Star..

Long before Madonna sang about stars and lights the Bible has had a lot to say about stars, lights and brightness.
Jesus Christ Himself is the bright & morning Star.

It is in the nature of stars to shine.
A star that doesn't shine is a malfunctioning star.
A star that is free will do what it is created to do, which is to shine!
Stars shine brightest when it is darkest!

"Arise, shine, for your light has come & the glory of the Lord is risen upon you"

May you shine like the star that you are in this 'dark' world'.

If the Bible informs we should arise and shine it is because we are living stars to the glory of God!

It is because there is a star in you.

Stars emit light and the Bible informs believers are the light of the world who cannot be hidden!

The world we live in has entered into rather dark times, my reasons for believing this is not far fetched- read the papers, listen to the news, and pay attention online, it would seem good news is rather scarce to come by.
There seems to be more depression than glad tidings & more to be concerned about than there is to rejoice about.
It is not surprising though for Bible prophecy has to be fulfilled.
It is in the midst of such darkness the Lord will have the children of God, the descendants of Abraham shine!
For they are likened to stars!

'Then the Lord took Abraham outside and said to him, "Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That's how many descendants you will have"
Today the descendants of Abraham cut across every nationality, tribe and tongue for "many will come from the east and the west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven"
Those many who will recline with Abraham, Isaac & Jacob are those who have come into God's kingdom family through Jesus Christ, they are the descendants of Abraham likened to stars.

Stars are most visible when it's dark.
May you become visible in this season.
Stars are seen above not below, for they are in the sky.
May you be above and not beneath, the head & not the tail.
Stars produce light that beautify the sky & our nights, they show the handiwork of God through nature.

May God be glorified through you, His light shinning through you and His beauty and excellence manifesting in you!
May the light of Jesus Christ shine on you & through you! 

Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World

The rulers of the darkness of this present age are the authorities behind the scene controlling many people and responsible for many issues and happenings in this world, they control a lot of the world systems- business, commerce, politics, medicine, technology, media, finances and the banking sectors.

They pull the strings while the institutions and structures we see outwardly are more of a facade. 

Their wisdom is what the systems of this world is built on.

Darkness is a powerful realm, a powerful spiritual dimension.

It is the realm Satan and the gates of hades (his kingdom) operate from.

They are the ones truly ruling this world with a well structured network.

They are illegitimate authorities tampering with the destinies of men.

They are illegitimate authorities controlling men and institutions like puppets.

They are illegitimate authorities working to write the will of Satan across the earth.

They are illegitimate authorities and thrones powered by darkness, by Satan himself.

Their structure and network spread from the land realm to the marine realm and the second heaven.

They are illegitimate authorities because they were not willingly granted the right by God the creator of all to do what they are doing.

Since Adam and Eve sold out to the devil through disobedience to God, their authority over the earth and the three realms of land, sea, and air was passed to Satan, who continues to have men sell their souls to the dark side in exchange for the glories of this world.

Like a master puppeteer, he controls the lives of men and families.

Along with his cohorts they carry out all sorts of manipulation and machinations in the spirit realm.

The whole world is under their influence and darkness.

They were the wicked spirits behind Jesus Christ's crucifixion, an occurrence which they regretted.

The rulers of the darkness of this world are a hierarchy of spirits and men sold out to Satan who intentionally and forcefully do his bidding.

In the area politics they scheme and mastermind to put men in power, especially men who have pledged allegiance to them through the secret societies and the occult- fraternities and societies like the illuminati, and freemasons.

Satan is the head of the rulers of the darkness of this age, this world.

He has fallen angels who are principalities assigned to regions of the world- countries and continents.

He has demons who are powers spread across every nation of the earth.

Rulers of this world are men and spirits operating in darkness and from darkness.

They comprise of men who have pledged their lives to Satan's spirits.

These spirits have chosen individuals who head societies and confraternities for them, leaders of occult groups.

These are men who are regarded as high and mighty by human standards but you will not always find them in the public eye.

Witches and wizards, shamans, warlocks and voodoo priests are all part of the rulers of the darkness of this age.

The influence of this network spreads through religions and faiths, with their faithful in churches, mosques, synagogues  and temples, all across the religions of this world.

Perhaps you have come across some of their agents in churches before, they join departments and are proactive in the ministries they have been planted in. 

They have a mission.

Many have given up on church services because of such people.

They have discouraged many, misrepresented Christ and given churches and ministers of the gospel a bad name.

At best these spirits and men are illegitimate to those who are in Christ Jesus.

The rulers of the darkness of this age keep recruiting, and they have families who are generational adherents, these families see it as their destiny and calling which must be carried on from generation to generation. A family dynasty.

God is over and above them, He has greater power and authority, and a superior kingdom to the empire of darkness which will pass away in time.

In Christ Jesus we are safe, under the shadow of His wings we are protected, and the rays of His wings heal us.

God is still God and He rules in the affairs of men.

God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

 

FREEDOM, YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITY!

 

Some people need to be free from themselves.

Some people have self sabotaging mindsets.
There are people who are the biggest obstacle to their own liberty in God.
They think wrong and see wrong.
They view themselves wrongly and believe wrongly about themselves.
This limits them, it limits their effort & their results.
Some just won't try to get better or fight for their freedom, they'd rather think in an entitled way.

The entitled individual needs to be free from his own faulty thinking. 

Some individuals act as if life owes them and the people they have access to owe them in life.

There are those who abuse access, they think friends and acquaintances who are more privileged than they are owe them.

Except you've used a service you haven't paid for, except you've lent out money the borrower hasn't paid back, or you've not been paid for contracted work or service you've rendered, nobody owes you "diddly-squat"
Whatever you're given by another without being owed is good will and favor from that person.
God doesn't owe us anything, we owe God everything.
He doesn't owe us breath, being alive and breathing is a privilege, He doesn't owe us protection, His protection over us is an act of mercy and a fulfilment of His promise to those who stay in His secret place.

Pride and arrogance are evidence of of an entitled mindset.
You envy another because you want what they have or have earned, which you don't have. 

You're jealous of your neighbor because you feel entitled, you think you should have what another person has and that person should not.
That type of mindset sets us back, its an obstacle to our liberty provided through Christ Jesus..
The responsibility to work on our minds is totally ours. 

That is something no one can really do for us.

"Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus" says the Lord.
Don't stand in the way of your own liberty, embrace the freedom available to you.
We have to consciously work on our minds.
Start today, it will take some time, it will demand your effort.
It's a call to be responsible for yourself, and it is worth it.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will"

Rivalry, jealousy, envy and an entitled attitude are part of the patterns of this world we have to get rid of and renew our minds to overcome.
Be free, be blessed!

SOUL FREEDOM

God wants your soul free and so should you.

Your soul is an integral and valuable aspect of you.

Your soul is so valuable, all the wealth and riches of this world cannot be compared to it.

Value your soul, value your life.

Your soul is so valuable that the good Book informs "to gain the whole world and lose your soul is not profitable"

To sell your soul for wealth, fame, and this world is not a good business deal.

Don't trade your soul for that which is inferior, don't sell yourself short.

In the spirit realm a lot of trading and manipulation goes on.

Thanks to warlocks and witches, and the demons and fallen angels they serve!

Souls can be stolen through magic, witchcraft, sorcery, and divination.

Souls can also be fragmented and tampered with.

Souls can be caught and traded with.

Aspects of a persons soul can be traded with.

Your soul and your blood are connected.

If your blood leaves your body, your soul leaves your body, That separation is known as death.

Your soul is a very valuable commodity.

Your blood and your soul are very valuable in the spirit realm.

In the spirit realm your blood is more valuable than gold and your soul more valuable than diamonds are in the physical realm.

Your faith is also very valuable in the spirit realm.

Your faith operates in manifold capacities in the spirit realm, it can operate like currency.

Through faith in God through Christ Jesus, you can take your soul back!

You can take back the pieces of your soul.

Your soul can be free.

Your fragmented soul can be repaired.

The Spirit of God can move to gather your soul pieces, putting them together.

God is a soul restorer, "He leadeth me beside the still waters; He restoreth my soul."

May your soul be free and and restored, in Jesus mighty name!

 

STAR FREEDOM

 

Your star is your spiritual and heavenly representation and essence.

Who you should be, what you will achieve, God's plan and pattern for your life is outlined in your star.

Your 'star' determines your shine!

The Star of Jesus was seen in the heavens/sky and the wise men/magi who saw it knew it was the Star, even the Star of a King!

What they saw and read of Jesus's Star is the reason they worshipped Him when they found Him. They knew that Star was no ordinary Star!

Just like Jesus Christ you have a star.

Your star is what the heavens have for you!

May your star be free from star hunters.

It is a tragic thing when an individuals star is captured, stolen, or tampered with.

It is an unfortunate thing when a persons star is seen by wrong people at birth or during toddlerhood, their vulnerable states. Its another misfortune when we have parents who don't understand these things, who don't pray or seek divine direction for their families.

Jesus was preserved at birth because the head of the home, His earthly father figure Joseph was properly guided by God.

Herod would have aborted Jesus before His life & ministry could start.

There are great people who never blossomed, we never saw what they could be, achieve or contribute because their star was stolen, tampered with or covered and cornered.

Satan is a thief and he has agents, spirit and human that he works with.

They steal people's stars.

A lot of manipulation goes on in the spirit realm.

Satan is a specialist at pulling down stars, its his job, he is skilled at it

The enemy can take the original from a person & give the individual a counterfeit. It's a tragic thing when a person is not living his/her true life but a counterfeit life, a life God never purposed for him/her.

May God protect all that concern you, even your star.

You star can be free!

Free to rise, free to shine, free to speak!

God's will be done in your earthly life as it is in your heavenly life (your star).

Jesus Christ is the star specialist!

He is the bright & morning Star whose light can put a new shine on your star!

I pray your life and destiny will receive a new glow.

He is the One who makes all things new!

He is our great protector who protects our life, our destiny, our stars.

He is the One who who sets the captives free!

May every stolen star be restored, every tampered star be fixed, every covered star be unveiled, every captured star be released & every buried star be resurrected in Jesus name!

That destinies may manifest and be fulfilled, that lives may manifest blessings, that callings may bloom, that families may proper, and God will be glorified!

I believe In Miracles!

 

I believe in miracles, what about you?

I release my faith for miracles, what about you?

May we see, touch, know, experience & receive the miracles we want and need in Jesus name!

When trials and challenges reach a point that man has no remedy for, a miracle is needed.

Miracles can produce freedom.

Individuals, families, communities, businesses, ministries and a nation can require a miracle.

My country Nigeria requires a miracle, obviously.

The nation of Israel once required a miracle.

Thousands of years ago they found themselves in bondage- slaves to Pharaoh who was a harsh task master over them. The blessing that Israel was to Egypt and the known world in the person of Joseph the son of Jacob had been forgotten.

This was a different Pharaoh to the Pharaoh Joseph served, this one was full of pride, stubbornness and self worship. He was determined to make the children of Israel his perpetual slaves.

God had other plans.

Fortunately God answers prayers.

He heard the cry of His people.

Just as He will hear your cry and mine today.

God's answer to prayers came in the form of a man- a leader and prophet in the person of Moses.

Don't despise people.

God still uses men.

We have a responsibility to be sensitive enough to discern who God sends to help us.

Moses was the man for the job, and he did a good job.

The outcome was good, the result was commendable, the process was miraculous and freedom was achieved.

Through a series of supernatural events- Pharaoh was humbled, God was glorified and His people set free.

I pray a miracle of God will deliver freedom to you and I in the areas where we need it.
