Enforce Your Victory

I want you to understand that difficult does not mean impossible. The fact that God has called you to do and become some thing does not mean its going to be easy. It does not mean, every body will accept you. It does not mean you will succeed without a fight or confronting challenge. Be aware of this, the idea of you been called of God is a fight on its own. Your calling is designed to enhance the plan of God and the plan of the devil to destroy Gods plan. As long as you are on the side of God, you are an enemy of the devil. Nothing will work for you until you enforce your victory in Christ Jesus. You don't have to just keep silence or overlook every oppositions confronting what God has called you to do.

Do You really love Your Self? Part 3

What if the one thing that is keeping us from loving others, is our inability to love ourselves? We can all agree that from the beginning of time, starting with the very first man and lady (Adam and Eve) , there has been a fracture in our human ability to love; a shortage in how we loves God,  a shortage in how we love one another; and a shortage in how we love ourselves. And in the middle of this obvious shortage, Jesus sweeps us away with these powerful words that start first and foremost with loving our God, and then… Mark 12:31 Love your neighbor as yourself. Really? You want me to love myself? Yes… That is the will of God for your life. We often look at this verse as a call to love others, and it is. But deep inside this verse is a call to something even deeper. The more I’ve learned about myself through the word of God, the more I am completely in awe of how well God knows me. These five words hold such powerful insight into the human worl...

Mentorship

Having a mentor is not bad but the approach can be bad. You don't accept any one as a mentor because of their glory, fame or social status Every body can not be your mentor.

THE PROPHETIC & THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE PROPHETIC VS. THE HOLY SPIRIT. I have observed and noticed that it's easier for people to think that the Holy Spirit is different from the prophetic.... Its wrong. There is no difference between the Holy Spirit and the prophetic. You see any body operating like the prophetic yet wont magnify Jesus or the Holy Spirit....a familiar spirit which is not of God is at work. Don't be deceived...you have received the Holy Spirit via confessing Jesus and receiving Jesus into your life.....YOU CAN OPERATE IN THE PROPHETIC. Just the way the Holy Spirit is the right of every believer of Christ, so is your walk in the prophetic a right in Gods kingdom... Walk and work in this understanding. Any body can operate in the prophetic ministry as long as you have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and Gods word. Be encouraged Prince Victor Matthew  Hope Expression Ministry
