John 12:35
In verse 35 of John chapter 12, Jesus is being captured responding to the queries of the crowd around him and he argues, “my light will shine for you just a little longer, walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you.
Those who are in the darkness cannot see where they are going.
Thus put your trust in the light while there is still time, then you will become children of the light. "
For every victor there is a victim, and for every winner there is a loser.
Before the people fighting and working against your life at this present moment in time by way of backbiting, backstabbing, sabotage, evil trickery(deceiving against your name, and working against you) ever came into the picture of your life you were already ordained by God as a victor.
God ordained, and established your life upon the foundations of victory, glory, and honor when nobody was there to bear witness, for it was in the secret place.
However once he set you in time, God set up the forces of your enemies to work against you so that what he established over your life in the invisible world will be confirmed in time for all men to bear a witness that you have been indeed and in fact lifted up by God in victory, glory and honor.
Thus whatever they do in working against you is only designed to confirm, consolidate, strengthen, and institutionalize the fact that you are a victor and that they are victims.
It’s here and now that you ought to consider that the people who seem to be working against you are really not working against you but they are working for you.
They are working for you because their efforts against you will not be able to sabotage you but their efforts will only end up offering evident support to the very truth of God that you were ordained a victor before the foundation of the earth.
And never at one point should you ever be crest fallen, depressed, and sorrowful over the fact that you are being sabotaged by many people.
Thus you should never be disturbed by those fighting to put you down, by those trying to malign you, by those trying to undermine your efforts to fulfill your destiny and purpose.
This is so because you are a child of the light hence you are far from darkness unlike those operating in darkness; you can see where is it that you are going because you are completely aware of the essence and meaning of everything that is going on in your life and around your life.
Unlike your enemies you fully understand the pre-ordinances of the Lord God Almighty (your God) as much as the creator of the universe.
You fully comprehend and understand that God pre-ordained you for victory, glory, and honor.
For every victory, glory, and honor there is a group of people that are to play the role of a victimized bunch because they were pre-ordained to be the victims against your victory, glory, and honor.
And they work tirelessly to confirm your pre-ordained victory, glory, and honor within the perimeters of time, and history, the enemies of your life are fighting you and working tirelessly against you, thinking to themselves; that, if their efforts are successful than you will suffer defeat.
However what they don’t realize is in the fact that God has set them up to work for you under the guise of working against you.
They are working for you by divine set up because all their efforts will only but end up confirming you as a victor and eventually push you in a place and on a pedestal where only victors stand to be celebrated.
And as you stand in your place of victory after having been pushed into that place by your enemies' efforts to sabotage you and defeat you.
Then your enemies will be left in shame, and in defeat.
This is so because whatever your enemies are hoping and wishing for you is what they are going to harvest and reap because God promised all his creatures in saying, "I can’t be mocked, whatever a man sows so shall he reap".
Yes! Your enemies have sowed envy, jealousy, sabotage, hatred, and backstabbing and hence they will harvest shame and defeat.
Because victims only but sow seeds of evil, but victors always sow seeds of righteousness and seeds that denote the goodness of God Almighty.
Why would God pre-ordain you with victory, glory, and honor but the pre-ordain others with defeat and shame?
God pre-ordained you with victory because he chose you according to his purpose in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the earth were ever laid.
And he also pre-ordained defeat for every one that harbors and bears intentions of sabotaging the purpose of God Almighty upon the earth.
The entire life of you is a careful, vivid, and accurate reflection of God's purpose and will upon the earth.
Furthermore, your enemies are going to carry a heavy load of unnecessary stress and a deep sense of depression all because they tried to sabotage, and to work against the one who has been pre-ordained by God Almighty for victory , glory, and honor.
And as they go on carrying a heavy load of unnecessary stress so shall you be rejoicing and full of joy and in a spirit of celebration because you posses a joy that only God can give and the world cannot take away because the world did not give it to you.
However they are those operating in your time frame and their entire existence is only but a reflection of his own self centric purposes, will, and interests.
And every one that walks, operates and functions in their own will is working against the will of God Almighty.
And the bottom line still remains that their ignorance is not even a line of defense.
If there is anything that your enemies will never fail to reap, and harvest before else then its agony, sorrow, pain and heart break.

Appreciating God
Proverbs 3
Genesis 3:4
Lucifer was granted by God Almighty the most pleasant, joyful, and, honorable place in the presence of the Lord God Almighty.
However for some uncanny reason Lucifer's heart was not contented , satisfied, accomplished and fulfilled even when it should have been.
And because Lucifer's heart was not contented, it was almost impossible for him to appreciate God in the best way possible.
And instead of using his God -given platform to appreciate God by giving him all the glory, and honor so that he would come to a place of satisfaction, and fulfillment, Lucifer instead used his God -given platform .
To draw all glory and honor unto himself by strategically, planning, and executing to dethrone the authority of God over his life by way of undermining, and despising the very authority of the Lord his God.
Hence as a result of this diabolic attempt, Lucifer fell from his God-given platform that was considerately designed for him by God to carry out the assignment of effectively making sure that God is worshiped in the best possible manner.
Obviously the platform and the assignment in and unto itself along with the person of the assignment(Lucifer) were honorable.
Its here and now that it ought to be said that every now and then you attempt to undermine the authority of God as ordained by God for your life, then the next experience is the falling from grace to grass.
When you fast forward away from the Lucifer experience unto the Adam and Eve experience, we understand that when God created and formed Adam and Eve,he did so by fashioning them to be the glorious crown of all his creations.
However,Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil to undermine, and despise the authority of God, and once that happened, Adam and Eve fell from grace to grass.
Adam and Eve were given by God the best assignment, purpose,and place among all things created of God Almighty.
But because of their failure to resist the temptation of the devil(fallen Lucifer) and use all that God had rendered unto them in order to appreciate God they lost their God-given place of glory, honor, and victory.
The temptation of the devil towards Adam and Eve was designed in a way to convince mankind to dethrone the authority of God over his life and destiny and then replace it with his own.
Ultimately the result of the temptation was Adam and Eve falling from grace to grass in an attempt to establish and reinforce their own will, and authority upon the earth.
In the whole of human race, the poorest among us is the individual whose heart is far be it from satisfaction.
An individual whose heart's desire and conversation is to galvanize more than he has got without first appreciating whatever possessions he holds in the present he is an individual that is poor indeed.
Poverty has endured upon the earth ever since Adam and Eve fell from grace to grass because man is more focused on acquiring more and more under the false caveat that satisfaction will come from galvanizing more and more.
Poverty is the failure to appreciate where you really are stationed in life because your present station in life is better than your past station.
The lack of appreciation for where you are stationed in life leads to non-satisfaction and a heart that is unsatisfied will always be broken and poor.
Furthermore, poverty is institutionalized in the failure to not only appreciate your station in life but also in the failure to appreciate God for everything and in every situation that you find yourself entangled.
However once you begin to appreciate God for everything and in every situation you find yourself entangled, then God will fundamentally ensure that you attain an abundant lifestyle.
A lifestyle that will facilitate you to become a blessing in your life time.
Prayer in the real sense of the word simply means a conversation of the heart directed unto and towards the Lord God our father.
God in all his hearing, hears the conversations of one's heart much more than anything else.
And God himself promised in his scriptures that he will fulfill the desires of one's heart.
The desires of one's heart are contextually captured in the sense of one's hearts' conversation.
The conversations of one's heart are so deep and mystical in nature that they can only be handled by the power and by the grace of God Almighty.
In all man's enduring if there is any thing to be much endured and appreciated then its in walking under the authority of God Almighty.
A man whose heart appreciates God and is thankful unto God always , no matter the circumstances is a man that will be given by God blessings that are inaccessible by human strength and ability.
Once God calls you to serve in his presence- its not an opportunity to dethrone him from his place of authority over your life but rather its an opportunity to be faithful unto God with an appreciative heart so that he can be able to give you more than you deserve.
It was possible for God to give Lucifer more than he had given unto him but because he undermined and did not appreciate God's authority, he was dismissed to a point of no return.
It was possible for God to give Adam and Eve much more than a crown of glory over all creation but cause they failed to fully appreciate God's authority over their lives, they was unable to realize more blessings from God Almighty.
Consequently we can only tap into the full blessings of God for our lives by walking under his authority thankfully, gratefully, and fully appreciative.
