2023/2024 OPERATION 18-18 – (COVENANT OF LIFE III)

This is our year of above only. For you to be above only, you must be complete in obedience. You must break away from the serpent in the garden and surrender your will to the will of the Father. How was Jesus exalted and given a name that is above every other name? Jesus humbled himself to the point of going to the cross to lay down his life (Study Phil. 2:5-11). Death on the cross was the most gruesome type of death yet Jesus went through it. Therefore God has highly exalted him and given a name that is above every other name.

The way up in God’s kingdom is down. Are you ready to surrender? Are you ready to walk with God? God is interested in your comprehensive well being and he has made ample provisions for that.

Pray –

• Father, I thank you for the generous provisions you have made for my well being here and hereafter. I thank you for your grace, glory and blessings of your presence.
• Thank you for the blessings that are predicated on obedience. Grant me the grace to be complete in obedience to your word and to the promptings and leading of the precious Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. Thank you ancient of days.
• I receive your word – I shall be above only, I shall never be beneath. Help me to walk hand in hand with you so that your purpose may be fulfilled in my life in Jesus’ name.
• Let your hand rest, lift, guide, uphold, sustain and perfect all that concerns me in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

ACTION POINT

• Study Deut. 28:1-14.

Whenever you read the Bible henceforth, read with the intent of what to live, read the Bible from the technical perspective. Have a sense of responsibility; God, what do you want me to do? How do I benefit from this? As you do this, you will see that the Bible will become food and that is what makes you a fruitful believer. How do you solve problems? How do you become a healing agent in a sick world? The shadow of the apostles healed the sick, we must press into this. We have all that pertains to godliness.

There is no dominion without obedience. There is no above only without obedience. It is so easy for people to surrender their will to the will of those that the devil has positioned to ruin their destiny. Study Deut. 28 daily. Passive Christianity is not Christianity at all.

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments (not some) which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth.”

Deuteronomy 28:1, KJV

You need to talk to yourself. If you remove the truth side of God, you are in just one dimension. You don’t know the living God unless you know that his ways are mercy and truth (Psalm 25:10). It was at the cross that mercy and truth kissed each other. That is why the cross remains the greatest symbol of obedience, the greatest symbol of comprehensive dominion. Dominion is through the lamb not through the lion. Jesus submitted to the will of the Father. It takes submission to obey.

There are levels of divine interventions that nobody can experience without being complete in obedience. Jesus is not the shepherd of goats or lions. Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice (John 10:27), not my goat or my lion.

Pray –

• Father, please, help me. Whatever it will take, grant me the grace to be complete and total in obedience to your word this year. Do not allow me to disobey any instruction that will add value to my life.
• Help me, O God, to surrender my will to your will and to know that your will is best for me and that you have a purpose for my life. May I fulfil it in the name of Jesus Christ.
