LEARN TO TRADE WORDS

Matthew 15:22,24 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (NIV)

Most of the time what you qualify for may not be given you unless you demand for it. And other times what you are not qualified for can be given you when you trade your words rightly. That was the case of the Canaanite woman who came to Jesus.

She begged Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. But Jesus said He was not sent to the Canaanites. In other words that she wasn't qualified for what she asked for. Let's read her dialogue with Jesus. She traded words with Jesus, and she traded rightly.
Matthew 15:25-27 The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs." "Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table."

At this Jesus responded to her great faith and granted her request.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus said to her, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed at that moment.

She got what she wanted not because she was qualified for it but because she knew how to trade her words. She spoke right and fitting words. There are people who have not received what they qualify for because of their wrong use of words. At times people's problem is just the result of their words.

Learn to use words rightly. That's why it is important you know the Word of God for yourself. In the realm of the spirit (real reality) all that matters is words. If you are going to prosper or not depends on how you trade your words. When I say trade words it means exchange words. The Canaanite woman exchanged words with Jesus and got her request granted. We not only exchange words with God but also with demons and circumstances of life. 

When devil brings words into your mind or the voice of life circumstances begins to speak to you, you must know how to exchange (trade) words with them. If you lose in trading words you would lose in life.
Proverbs 25:15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

You can break bonelike resistance and oppositions with a gentle tongue (words rightly spoken).
Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

Instead of looking for demons to fight or trying to defeat the negative circumstances around you, listen to their voices and trade words with them first. When you win them in words you would win for real.

CONFESSION

Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit I speak right, just and true words. I speak words that line up with my divine ancestry and heritage. By my words I possess, reign and rule, by my words I have and give, by my words I am justified and glorified, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive yo...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th OCTOBER 2023 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.(NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spir...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2023 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,(NIV) God has given everyone of us Grace and Peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of Grace and Peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the Grace and Peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God. The scripture says Grace and Peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lo...
