OVERCOMING HINDRANCES OF PROGRESS (PART 6)

GLORY REALM DEVOTIONAL BY REV. IGHO L. Y.

FEB. 5TH

TEXT: Revelation 12:10-11 King James Version (KJV).
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

As we conclude on this series, it is important to mention that we do not overcome because we know how to quote scriptures, but that this is only possible because we have a covenant by the blood Jesus shared to bring us into the kingdom of God. It is that empowerment that qualifies us to decree by the testimony in the word of God. You do not overcome because you shared a testimony of healing or deliverance, but because you have and know your right of standing before God to decree your blessings, and a covenant right in the word (the promises of God for His own in the Bible).  
I sense that God is about to do some things that are impossible for His people, and cause a shifting that will put things back in place in our lives. If you will walk with the Lord, whatever has placed a dent on your testimony, the Lord will take away, and He will cause something to happen in your life which all people will see. All you have to do, is be the person God called you to be. Don’t bring ridicule to the body of Christ by just quoting and decreeing scriptures when it is obvious that you are not measuring up in your responsibilities. Play your role in the eyes of men, be above reproach, and the Lord will be too glad to vindicate you.  Don’t forget, we bear the mark of Christ upon our lives as His children.
There will be a change of status and identity, as the Lord delights to cause things to turn in the favour of His people, so that others will not be able to despise our faith. He has promised us glory, and everything that brings shame and has made people to ask you, where is your God? will soon receive divine attention. He will prove to them that He is your glory and the lifter up of your head. This year, people will join you to celebrate. It will come to pass in the mighty name of Jesus. But please, play your part.

See to it that no man takes away your crown, for there is no king without a crown. The crown of the king is his glory. When you crown God as Lord of your life, He will crown your efforts with success, and put His hand upon your life, and all that will follow will be glory. Let God lead.
