It can be tempting to embark on the seach for affirmations and approvals, but remember that you don’t need anybody’s approval to become who God created you to be.
You don’t need anyone’s affirmation to reach the heights that God has destined for you.
A kingdom is a territory, domain or realm ruled by a king or queen who is the highest authority and who may choose to delegate same as he/she wishes. The day you made Jesus Lord and Saviour of your life, you were translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God and of His dear son Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You are a member of the Kingdom of God. You are royalty (1 Peter 2:9).Kings reign and rule kingdoms through words. Their decrees become established and they govern their domains through words. Kings issue commands and processes are immediately set in motion for actualization of such commands. Jesus spoke extensively about the Kingdom of God, making reference to it many times in His teachings and parables. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus reveals the Keys of the Kingdom of God to His disciples…
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19
Words have power. Words are seeds. Decrees and Judgements are passed through words.
Little wonder Jesus marvelled at the Centurion’s words in Luke 7:7-9. This man understood Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 all too well….there is power in the Words of a king (Ecclesiastes 8:4-5).
The keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God is in our words/decrees, and the keys to condemning/refuting every consequence of the curse is in our words/judgement.
Wisdom and discernment help proper use and application of decrees or judgment (Ecclesiastes 8:5). Thi is how an empty and voidless space became home to plants, animals, man (Genesis chapter 1). And how a seed of words becomes a big company/organisation offering employment and source of livelihood to many (Luke 13:18-19).
The keys of the Kingdom of God …..decrees…..judgements…. communicated through words. Loose/unlock your blessings, judge/bind every curse or a semblance of the curse.
You are royalty; your words have power. Your words are the keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God. And words are the keys to condemning/refuting everything with semblance to the curse.
Shalom!
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Jesus is with you always; God is with you.
And when God is with you, His power and might is evident in your life.
When God is with you, His blessing is present in your life.
When God is with you, prosperity is inevitable in your life.
When God is with you, you succeed in all you do.
When God is with you, favor surrounds you as a shield.
When God is with you, your promotion is inevitable.
Hurray! It’s time again for GRACE OBOMANU FOUNDATION (GOF) Christmas Outreach!!
Through your support, GOF continues to reach out to needy people and elderly persons in our communities especially during the Easter and Christmas holidays.
Can you believe that this is our 3rd year doing this together? From the ‘Badamia Boys Home’ visit, to the Easter and Christmas 2022 Outreaches, we have together preached the gospel of Christ, provided free medical care, distributed foodstuffs and given free health talk; especially to needy people and the elderly. I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity to impact lives together with you.
This Christmas (2023), we are planning two (2) outreach sessions in 2 communities. We have carefully selected 2 health facilities with poor patient patronage in 2 different communities. We will work in partnership with the facility staff to render free medical care as well as distribute foodstuffs to no fewer than 100 persons in both locations. As usual these sessions would also provide an opportunity to preach and evangelize especially to our primary target audience, the elderly. We also hope that our presence at the facility will help improve facility utilization going forward.

When a young man wants to propose to a young lady, he might choose to package the engagement ring in a beautiful attractive and alluring box. The box, inspire of how beautiful it looks, is not the main gift, his target is to deliver the contents of the box to the lady he loves.
Some of the gains and benefits of contentment we can tease from scripture including 1 Timothy 6:6-10 are; preservation of our faith/belief, protection of our joy/peace and protection from covetousness.
VICTORY is the identity of every child of God. Victorious Christian living should be a way of life for every believer. As believers we should enjoy victory in Christ; overcoming in all things, dominating our world, ruling and reigning in life. First John chapter 5, verse 4 tells us this much, emphasizing that faith is the victory that overcomes the world. In addition to faith, I share other keys to living a life of victory in Christ below…
"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." I John 5:4
I have drawn from scriptures, 5 keys to living a life of victory in Christ. Faith, being aware of our identity in Christ, having a consciousness of the God who lives in us, walking in love and never giving up on hope.
Here are 5 Keys to Enjoying a Victorious Christian Life -…
You can reference the additional scriptures listed above. They will shade more light on the relationship between faith, love, being God conscious, hope and an acute awareness of one’s identity in Christ.
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.” I John 5:1
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.” I John 3:1
“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” I John 4:4
“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” I John 4:16
