FRUSTRATE SATANIC AGENDAS*

*Friday, February 6th*
*Pastor Chris*

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).*_

It’s important that we keep exercising our divine authority to frustrate satanic activities in our world and impede their agendas until their appointed time. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 says, _*“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”*_ “He who now letteth” is us, the Church.

We’re the restraining force against evil in the world today. We’re the reason Satan can’t rule this world until after the rapture of the Church. Satan knows this; remember when the Lord Jesus ministered in Jerusalem and Judea, the demons cried out to Him saying, “Have you come to destroy us before the time?” (Matthew 8:29).

They challenged Him on the matter of time, on legal grounds. They knew their destruction was certain but not yet due. They understood times and seasons, and they recognised divine legality. In the same way, we understand the legal authority of the Church in this present age. This present dispensation is the age of the Church, the Body of Christ. We don’t run concurrently with the reign of the Antichrist.

Though the spirit of Antichrist is already in the world, it can’t dominate or subdue the Church. The Word declares, _*“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them…”*_ (1 John 4:4). That means the Church has overcome, overshadowed and subdued the antichrist spirit, all satanic forces, and their agents.

So, when you issue decrees and command restraint over evil systems and satanic agendas, do so on the basis of this divine legality. It’s perfectly consistent with God’s eternal Word and His Word can’t be broken. No demon can resist when you act from the perspective of the Word and divine authority. Rule, reign, and win with this truth every day. Keep Satan and his cohorts in check. Restrain them by exercising your divine authority in Christ.

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for granting me the understanding of your Word and the authority to restrain evil in our world. I decree that satanic agendas are frustrated by the power of the Holy Spirit, and righteousness, peace and truth reign in the nations. The influence of darkness is broken, and the Church of Jesus Christ triumphs continually, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

RIGHTEOUSNESS—THE NATURE OF GOD*

*Wednesday, February 4th*
*Pastor Chris*

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).*_

When we talk about righteousness, it’s often used so generically that many don’t understand what it actually means. Righteousness is, first and foremost, the nature of God. It is His nature of rightness, His ability to be right and do right only and always. Just as we say God is love, meaning love is His nature, so is rightness His nature.

Furthermore, righteousness is God’s perfection, accuracy and distinction in glory. Righteousness distinguishes God in glory from every other being. This righteousness is absolutely unattainable by man or any creature. Therefore, in His benevolence, God attributes, bestows or imputes His righteousness to man.

Romans 5:17 says, _*“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”*_ The gift of righteousness refers to the legal righteousness that’s been given to the whole world through Christ Jesus. But righteousness is more than a legal standing; it brings us into oneness with God.

When you were born again and received eternal life, you became one with the Lord. You didn’t only receive legal righteousness, you received His nature of righteousness. You became righteous with His righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, _*“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”*_

Now you can live right, walk right and talk right. He made you righteous so you can produce fruits and works of righteousness. It’s your nature to live righteously before a righteous and holy God. Walk in the consciousness of this truth; you’re justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ Jesus. You’re the epitome of His righteousness. Hallelujah!

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for imparting to me your nature of righteousness. I walk in the consciousness of the truth that I’m justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ. I reign in life by righteousness and manifest your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY📖=>* *||* *‭‭Romans 5:17 AMPC For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).* *||*

*||* *‭‭Philippians 3:7-9 KJV But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:* *||*

*||* *‭‭Romans 4:2-5 KJV For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. [3] For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. [4] Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. [5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.* *||*

YOU HAVE THEM ALL*

*Saturday, January 31st*
*Pastor Chris*

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).*_

There’s something powerful about the righteousness of God at work in you; it causes everything in your life to align with His divine purpose and provision. It’s a righteous thing with God to do you good, because that’s His nature. It’s consistent with His righteousness to channel every necessary resource toward you, ensuring that you lack nothing for all He’s called you to do.

Ephesians 1:3 says He’s blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. There’s no blessing from God that’s missing in your life; you have them all! Also, ponder again what we read in our opening scripture: His divine power has given you everything you require for life and godliness. The word godliness there refers to your life of godliness, the things God has called you to do, your life in God.

So think for a moment; what do you require to fulfil the godly life God has called you to? It’s available. You already have it. Satan may suggest otherwise, but he’s a liar and not a factor. Instead, declare, “I walk by faith in God’s Word. I have what God says I have. The Lord is my Shepherd; I refuse to lack. All things are mine.”

This must be your mindset; you must accept it as your present reality. Everything that’s consistent with your course of life comes to you, because you’re walking in the light of your divine supply and abundance. All things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). 2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC says, _*“...God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].”*_ And He’s done it! Blessed be God!

*🙏PRAYER*

*Dear Father, I thank you for granting me all things that pertain to life and godliness. I live in absolute abundance, walking in my inheritance in Christ. I don’t lack anything, for you’ve made all grace to abound toward me, and I am furnished liberally for every good work. I walk in the light of your supply, fulfilling your purpose with joy and excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.*
