Let me preach to myself today even as I share it with you. This morning the Lord led me to Isaiah 55, and once I read it, I knew exactly why.  So many of us find our battles taking place in our minds. I don’t worry about demons, because I know my authority in Christ. My flesh though, that’s another subject.  My flesh is my worst enemy, and this is why we are called to crucify the flesh.  The “old man” has to die and be replaced by the “new man”.  Ephesians 4:24 📖  “and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” This goes with our thoughts as well.  Thoughts of depression, dissatisfaction, lust, intrusive thoughts, etc… whatever goes against the knowledge of God and His word.  We have to learn how to surrender even our thoughts to the Lord. To bring our thoughts into captivity.  2 Corinthians 10:5 📖  “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivi

SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING Esther 5:2 “When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she found favor in his sight; and the king extended to her the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter”. Esther was a very beautiful woman. But so were all the other virgins who were handpicked by the king's assistants.  They were ALL gorgeous and dazzlingly attractive.  Esther stood out and won the king's special favor as well as the favor of all who saw her because God poured His grace and glory upon her.  Similarly, you are doing your best. But so is everyone else. Nevertheless, there is a higher power that distinguishes men and makes them great among other men.  This power is the Power of the Most High, whom you have made your refuge and trust. And so shall it be that God will distinguish you. He will beautify you.  Among the best, you will stand out and be ahead of the pack.  God will release His power and glory over

SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING This is the sound of Dry Bones Rattling! Everything dry and dead, and in disagreement with God's Word and order,  Today, we prophesy!  Hear the word of the Lord, come alive!!! We call you forth from the north, the south, the east, and the west! Exercise the power in you. Prophesy! 📖 Ezekiel‬ ‭37:1-10‬ ‭ “The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. “He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will pu

SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING (ONE DAY, IT WILL DAWN ON THEM) Genesis 37:18-36 Romans 8:28 There is a way some people are treating you today because they don't know who you really are. They know what they have heard. They know your past. They know what they can see from your outward appearance. They know what you have told them.  But they don't know YOU. They don't know what is in the scrolls of your destiny. They don't know who you are in the Heart of God. They don't know the future He has for you. Because, you see, not many people care enough to look beyond the surface and seek God's Heart concerning others. What they can see from the outside is enough for them.   So forgive them. They don't know what they are doing. The day they discover who you were all along, they will wish they could turn back the hand of time and treat you better. But God has a tendency of hiding people's true identities so that people can handle them according to the true nat

SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING I said I had Faith… I said I believed in God, that I believed in Jesus Christ, his son. That I believed in the gifts, healings, and miracles. I said I believed that we would do greater things than Jesus did (John 14:12-14). But when I prayed for these things I was a little better than an agnostic, and I would constantly cover up my doubt, my fear, and my unbelief with “God’s will.” Or “God’s timing.” Yes, there are some scriptural bases for these things, but if you are not seeing the power of God in your life it’s time to examine yourself! I had some questions in my heart last night before retiring to bed. They were like thoughts too.  The Holy Spirit shook me this morning with some hard truth:  “Faith is a verb. (Faith is an action!)  You are either “Doing” Faith or you are not. It comes from the same root as “Amen” and “Truth.” It means to be firm, confident, and solid. Every act of Faith brings you to a new level of confidence. Confident Faith opens

SPIRITUAL COFFEE FOR YOUR MORNING CO-CREATING WITH GOD BY CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS IF THEY ARE.  The Lord has blessed me in every way. He watches over me. He is with me. I lack nothing. I am blessed with a long life and all will go well with me continually. I have plenty of every good and perfect gift.  I am very contented, with plenty to eat and drink. I live in peace and safety all around me. I am extremely skilful and talented in any work I do and it causes me to stand before kings.  I am unusually and exceptionally beautiful/handsome/good-looking, wonderfully and fearfully made to the glory of God. I have exceptional wisdom, discernment, understanding, and wealth that far surpasses my personal needs, so much that it cannot be counted, and I give generously to all in need. The LORD has commanded and instructed my destiny helpers globally for me, to bless me. They faithfully obey the instructions God has placed in them for me, and they too will be blessed.  I am blessed by God

FRESH WORD DEVOTIONAL  TOPIC: DON'T BE CARRIED AWAY SCRIPTURAL FOCUS  Galatians 2:13 (KJV) And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. RHEMA WORD: God is the accient of days and not the modern of days. One of the plagues in our generation is the plague of being easily carried away or distracted. There is a high level of disceptiom in the realm of the spirit with the target to distract people. We saw Barnabas was carried away with the teachings of his fellow brethren that centres around circumcision and the Gentiles. Don't be like Barnabas. But how? 1. Believe what you know and know what you believe. There are many so-called strange "revelation" been taught today, especially on social media, that you have to be careful not to be carried away. For instance, most social media pastors and evangelists are of the opinion that tithe is of the Old Testament and not for the New Testament believer. On

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE) Sunday, SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 TOPIC: YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS  Text : Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Jesus our Lord is saying categorically in this text that it is absolutely impossible for you to have two masters. It is possible for a person to have two jobs but it is practically impossible to have two masters. You cannot be a servant of God and at the same time be a servant of satan. You cannot be a servant of sin and at the same time be a servant of righteousnes. A person cannot be a sinner and a saint or be sinful at the same time be holy both are diametrically opposed. If you commit sin you are a servant of satan and not of Christ. Sin is the service of Satan while rigteousness is the service of Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 - Be ye not un

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: THE HOLY WAY Text : Isaiah 35:8-10 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. [9] No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there : [10] And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. There are several highways crisscrossing the entire world, each with its unique esthetics. The most beautiful highway in the world is the Chapman's Peak road in South Africa, while the most famous in the world is Route 66 in USA and the longest is the Pan American Highway. However, none of these man's highways could be compa

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: DEALING WITH THE ENEMY CALLED COMPROMISE Text: Romans 12:1-2  " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God". ‭‭The MSG translation says  “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from y

THE LORD'S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH'S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: LIVING A SINLESS LIFE Text:Proverbs 14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Numbers 15:30-31 -But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. [31] Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. In another translation ''If someone sins and knows they are doing wrong, they are rebelling against the Lord. They must be separated from their people. The same law applies to citizens of Israel and to foreigners living among them. They thought the Lord's word was not important, so they broke his commandments. That is why they must be separated from their people-they must bear the responsibility for their guilt.&quo

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: FEAR THE LORD Text: Deuteronomy 6:1-3  Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: [2] That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. [3] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it ; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. To fear God is not to cringe before God as a slave does before his master but to stand in awe of His holiness, to give God complete reverence and honour Him as the great God of glory, majesty, purity and power. Paul in his letter to the Philippians ch

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE) TOPIC: HIS FULLNESS  Text: John 1:16  And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. The Easy to Read Version puts it this way- “Yes, the Word was full of grace and truth, and from him we all received one blessing after another.” ‭‭In Christ Jesus is the abundance of grace out of this abundance we have all received grace over grace (unending grace that is God's undeserved favour and love). John made it explicitly clear that it is only in Christ that God's grace and truth are available to the fullest. Jesus Christ is the only one that holds all the promises, principles and purposes of God. In Him alone all is made open, nothing is veiled again. Paul said in Ephesians 2: 8 "For by grace (underserved favour) are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: in verse 9 it says 'Not of works, lest any man should boast'. Salvation is the

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: A CALL TO REPENTANCE  Text: Revelation 2:1-7  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; [2] I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: [3] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [5] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. [6] But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. [7]

THE LORD’S BRANCH CHRISTIAN CENTRE THE BRANCH’S WAY-Isaiah 4:2 (A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE)  TOPIC: DWELLING IN HIS PRESENCE  Text:Psalm 91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We will look at two other translations for a better understanding, the 'New International Version and the 'Amplified' version NIV - “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” AMP - “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].” To dwell in the shelter or presence of God is a thing of choice, there is no compulsion in it. Anyone can dwell there. The word to dwell in Hebrew is 'Yashab' - 'to sit down to dwell or 'to be settled'. To dwell in the secret place of the most High is to be in a place of absolute safety where no agent of darkness or his weapon can touch the person. Th

[3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it liste
