ACCESSING GOD’S WAYS BY STUDYING HIS WORD March 26, 2023 • Seeds of Destiny SCRIPTURE: Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1Timothy 4:13 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The habitual study of the Word is an attribute of greatness. It has been established that the Word of God is the builder of life and destiny. Your destiny is not in view when the Word is out of place in your life. To neglect the Word is to forfeit your destiny. This means, the diligent study of the Word is necessary for the fulfilment of destiny (2 Timothy 2:15, John 5:39). Now, what does it mean to study the Word of God? To study the Word of God is to access the ways, thoughts, principles and precepts of God from His Book in order to walk better with Him on earth. When you study God’s Word, you are trying to know what He likes, how He thinks, what His principles are, what you are allowed to do, what you are forbidden from doing, etc. This is what studying the Word of God is about.

SEEDS OF DESTINY
November 23, 2022
SCRIPTURE: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every form of captivity can be terminated by the Power of God.
Sometime ago, a woman testified in one of our Church Services of how she had been into masturbation for 18 years. She usually found herself in the dream surrounded by hefty dogs that would not allow her to move. Those hefty dogs were symbolic of immoral captivity, and she remained in that lifestyle for 18 years until the Power of God delivered her.
There are many people today who are in diverse captivities in life – iniquity, singleness, barrenness, wretchedness, etc. where the devil has kept them.
But the truth is, every form of captivity can be terminated by the Power of God.
And the Power of God visits three major places in a captivity:
1. The Power of God shakes or destroys the foundations of prisons (Acts 16:25-26).
Every prison has a foundation; there is something it is standing on. This is what the Power of God first destroys.
2. The power of God forces open prison doors. Prisons have doors, and the doors can be opened for the captive to come out.
3. The Power of God has the capacity to lose all bands and chains (Acts 16:26).
Now, what are the secrets of the power that terminates captivity?
a. The power of prayer (Acts 16:25).
b. The power of praise (Acts 16:25).
c. The power of the Word (Psalm 107:20, John 8:32,36, John 17:17).
d. The power of the anointing (Isaiah 10:27).
e. The power of prophetic impact (Luke 13:12).
Beloved, whatever happened at any point in your life that has licensed the devil and his agents to keep you in captivity, that foundation is broken, and you are coming out now, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Every form of captivity can be terminated by the power of God.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Engage the secrets of the power that terminates captivity mentioned in today’s message.
2. By virtue of Christ’s finished work on Calvary, believe that you cannot be a captive.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for setting me free from every form of captivity by the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ. I am no longer a slave to the enemy, Lord in Jesus’ name.
