HUMAN PROBLEMS AND THE CURE

OCTOBER 10, 2018

TOPIC: HUMAN PROBLEMS AND THE CURE

WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS

SCRIPTURE: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised -Luke 4:18 

KEY THOUGHT: Whereever there is a problem, the word is needed.

In Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." This means the word of God is a spiritual agent on a Supernatural assingment.

John 1:14 says that "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." The word was translated into a physical entity containing two powerful spiritual gems called grace and truth.

Generally, the world over, humans are plaqued by several situations and are desperate for answers. Some people are totally overwhelmed and literally helpless right now because of the issues they grapple with. From todays anchor Scripture the Word who is Jesus says He was released for the problems of mankind. The Word was released for every problem in your life. Listen beloved, the Word is only needed whereever problems exist. I know that you are surprised to read that; but that is true. Jesus said that it is only the sick that need doctors, He also said that He came for the lost, He came to give life and to lighten the world. Now if human race and the entire earth is facing problems then the Word is essential. From the very begining of the world, the Word was released because the earth had darkness problem, void problem and form problem (Genesis 1:1-3). So we can say that the Word which is also the Gospel is the antedote to human problems. 
Lets highlight few of these problems from our text:
1. The Word solves poverty problem: "...preach the gospel to the poor..." There is an anointing on the Word of God that can swallow up poverty from your entire lineage, your life and generation.
2. The Word solves relationship and emotional problem:  "...he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted..." In the world, more than ever is increased rate of depression which has led many into commiting suicide. You might be going through emotional breakdown from a failed marriage or broken relationship or even from the loss of a loved one, job or anything; the word of God can fix it up. The Word carries the cure. Anointed Word can take away grief, and cast out the spirit of heaviness.
3. The Word solves spiritual problems: "...to preach deliverance to the captives..." The word of God transmits deliverance power because it communicates the anointing which breaks yokes. I have seen people in strange addiction delivered by encounter with the word. That is why if the devil can succeed in stopping you from hearing the word he has successfully put you in captivity.
4. The Word cures visionlessness: "...and recovering of sight to the blind..." Visionlessness equals directionlessness and this cummulnates into missionlessness and missionlessness births uselessness.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Seek the word of God. Stay with the word and apply it to your everyday living.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, Baptise my spirit with passion and hunger for your word in Jesus' Name.
I decree that the power from your word today, every issue in my life, family and destiny be solved now in Jesus' Name.

PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF BEARING SPIRITUAL FRUITS

OCTOBER 9, 2018

TOPIC: PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF BEARING SPIRITUAL FRUITS

Written by Dr. Joel Dabbas

SCRIPTURE: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much FRUIT- John 12:24

KEY THOUGHT: God wants you to move beyond been a seed to become a fruit

After you gave your life to Christ, the incorruptible seed of God was planted in you.  1 Peter 1:23 says that “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. “ This seed gave you a new nature; Gods nature.

The truth is that it is beautiful to have the seed of God in you but that is not enough. God wants you and I to convert that seed into fruits. God desires us to be fruitful not only physically but spiritually. God values fruitfulness  because that is the only way to confirm that your life has His seed. It is the only way to proof to the world and the devil that the seed of God is blossoming in you.

From our anchor Scripture Jesus said that a fruitless seed remains alone. The meaning of this is that a person who becomes born again and doesn't bear fruit is by himself. That individual remains like a new model car that has not been used. Even if it is twenty years old so long as that car is not driven (exercised) it remains by itself and keeps deteriorating and loosing value. This is the condition of some: Since they became born again they have not moved upward, they are still on the elementary foundation and have not exercised the seeds and potentuals imparted into theur spirit by the Lord. A fruitless seed lacks capacity to multiply or have not harnessed the ability to multuply. Anyone that is still remains on the seed level has not activated the spiritual potentials released into you when you became born again.

To bear fruits it is to reproduce the seeds of God in you.

Not to bear fruit is to loose the ability to become better in other words is to loose capacity to stimulate development and advancement.

But if we must move from been just a seed to become a fruit the first principle or process i want to share with you today is that we must die.

What does it mean?

1. To die means to release one's self: You must be ready to let go of you.
2. It is to release the content out of the container: There is something God placed inside of you. It must be emptied out.
3. It is to release life out of your vessel: Release life out of you for others to feel. Let people feel the life of Jesus in you. Through you someone should experience the life of Christ.
4. It is to connect to the spiritual and silence the natural: God wants us to live life not on natural basis anymore but on spiritual basis. Your emphasis from now must be about spiritual things. Jesus was on earth but lived out the Spirit. He said I do nothing from my earthly dimension, but the works that I do, I do what I see my Father do. He was on earth but was doing what was done in the realm of the Spirit by His Father. Elijah also, did mighty things by connecting and living out the spiritual. The Spiritual is the stem for the supernatural.
5. It is to loose the flesh and gain the spirit: It is to mortify the flesh and activate the Spirit. Until the flesh is crucified your spirit can never be alive. Until your flesh decrease, Jesus can't increase.

Finally, if we must produce fruits unto righteousness and holiness, fruits that will resound in eternity then we must be ready to denature the flesh and activate the spirit.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Release your whole self unto God. Desire to be better in your walk with God every day.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, let me decrease and may You increase in me in Jesus name.

PRODUCTS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD

October 6th 2018
TOPIC: PRODUCTS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD
SCRIPTURE: "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil . . ." —Proverbs 8:13

KEY THOUGHT: The absence of the fear of the Lord breeds disorderliness

It is confirmed that the fear of the Lord is the respect for God and His words. It is deep reverence for God. It is not fear because of His judgement but fear brewed out of aweful love for Him. It is a heart and life shaped into honouring God wholly.
In this age, it is apparent that many have lost fear for God. Anywhere the fear of God is abundant true relationship with God can be confirmed.
What are the products of the fear of the Lord?
1. Foundation for wisdom: Proverbs 9:10 says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Anywhere the fear of the Lord is absent foolishness rules but where it is present wisdom is at its peak.
2. Long life: Proverbs 10:27 says,
"The fear of the LORD prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened." Long life is a product of the fear of the Lord. There are destinies that have been destroyed because of the lack of the fear of God. Proverbs 14:27 "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, That one may avoid the snares of death."  It does not just give life but it is a pool of life. Proverbs 19:23 "The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil." It gives life that is satisfied and barricafed from evil.
3. Brings confidence: Proverbs 14:26 says, "In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And his children will have refuge." The fear of the Lord sponsors  confidence. It gives you confidence Godward and confidence lifeward. This means that the fear of the Lord will give you confidence to approach God at anytime. It gives you confidence on the corridor of life knowing that God will back you. Daniel and friends for example had the fear of God they refused to bow to other gods and God was with them even in the fire.
4. Betters your lot:  Proverbs 15:16 "Better is a little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and turmoil with it." The little you get with the fear of God is better than amassing plenty in unrighteousness. If you are in an office and people are adding extra zero's to perpetuate fraud do not sign up with them. God can prosper your meager salary and make your lot better.
5. Commands the blessing: Psalm 128:1 says, "How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways." Blessings companies anyone who fears the Lord.
6. Makes evil disgusting: Proverbs 8:13 says, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil . . ." When the fear of God is absent people can easily become tools in the hands of the devil.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Make God the centre of all you do.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, let the Spirit of the fear of the Lord come upon me today in Jesus' name.

TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING

October 5th 2018
TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE ANOINTING
SCRIPTURE: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. – Psalms 45:7

KEY THOUGHT: The Anointing raiser of men

Anointing is the communicator of grace. It is the confirmation of divine presence.
From todays anchor text we know that the anointing can lift a person above. It gives you competitive advantage, it gives you an edge above others. It simply means that an anointed life will have nothing to do with smallness, mediocirty and low levels. It simply will elevate from grass to grace. For example, David was dispised by his brethren and was confirned to the bush. He had nothing to do outside there but when the anointing came upon him he was taken from the bush to the palace.
The anointing always comes with a price; today let's examine two:
1. Love Righteousness: If you must have anything to do with God, if God must pour His oil upon your life then you must love righteousness.
What does it mean to love righteousness?
Quickly let us strike a distinction here that there is a huge difference between loving righteousness and doing righteousness. One can act love but won't love. It is possible to show love and not truly be inlove. For instance when someone is afraid of the implication of sin and then is not sinning it is not because that individual loves righteousness but because of the consequence that accompanies sin. A person who is afraid of deadly diseases that might come with sexual sin and is avoiding to sin, is not because that individual loves righteousness but because of the fear of death from that sin. So to love righteousness is to love God and love his commandments. During Jesus earthly ministry, a man met Him saying that he had kept all the ten commandments and never faulted in anyone. Jesus told him true, but go sale all you have and give to the poor and he left with anger and broken heart. That man acted righteous but does not love righterousness. The point today is that if you love righteousness everything about you will change. It will not be about going to heaven or going to hell, it will simply be because you love God so deeply to do anything He does not like and love anything He doesn't love.
How to love righteousness
A. Pursue righteousness: Proverbs 15:9 says, “The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.” We pursue righteousness when we pursue the character of Christ and desire holiness more than fleshly indulgence.
B. Hunger after righteousness: Matthew 5:6 says that "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" This is not a casual thirst, it is deep, not temporary but with great irredemable desperation and obssession for righteousness.
C. Be passionate about righteousness and holiness.
2. Hate wickedness: It is detesting lawlessness and sin. Today's world celebrates lawlessness and sin over holiness and righteousness. People look at you as an alien if you speak the truth and stand for what is right. When people defend evil, i wonder what has happened to their mind! But if you must become a candidate for the anointing then you must dislike, detest and disown any form of unrighteousness and unlawlessness.
Joseph hated sin the product was elevation from slavery to royalty and from prison to the palace.
Daniel detested sin the end result was excellence, relevance and promotion.
There is no man who love righteousness and dislikes sin that will ever go down in life. They move from one layer of glory to another.
WHAT TO DO TODAY: Be passionate about God.
Boldly stand for righteousness.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, place in me passion for righteousness and holiness in Jesus' Name.

GOD OUR WAYMAKER

TOPIC: GOD OUR WAYMAKER

SCRIPTURE: 16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert - Isaiah 43:16-19 King James Version (KJV)

KEY THOUGHT: With God you can never be stranded in life.

One Name of God is WAYMAKER. 
What does it mean that God is a WAYMAKER?

1. It means that God gives and creates opportunities

2. It means that God is involved in constructions

3. It means that with God there is no waylessness

4. It means that with God there is nothing like the road has ended

5. It means that with God there is no crossroads

6. With God there is nothing like no road

From our anchor Scripture we observe that everyone face life differently. Everyone have different life experience(s). Some life experience(s) is so overwhelming as if one is in mighty waters or as if one is in the depth of the sea. For some life experiences is desert-like in nature: Everything is so dry, hard and unbearable. And for another life experience is like one passing through fire. Beloved, no matter the situation you are in right now God can make a way for you.

Three examples of how God makes way for His people:

1. Joseph was all alone in Egypt, the conspiracy and allegation against was so strong. The evidence was mighty tangible. He was thrown into the toughest prison. It looked as if his life will end there but God stepped in and made a way. He made a way for him from the prison to the palace 

2. Isreal was facing the red sea fierce enemies coming behind and a huge obstacle in front but God made a way through the red sea. God made a way for them through the red sea to the promise land.

3. Ruth lost her husband: she was broken hearted and full of pain. God made a way for her. From pain to joy. From loss to gain. From widowhood to been married again.

Too many examples to show that our God is a way making God.

I speak to you today, no matter the state of your life right now, God is making a way for you.

Lift up your hands and say Father, my WAYMAKER make a way for me where there seem to be no way.

I PROPHESY

God is making way of destiny for you

God is making marital way for you

God is making way for you to connect to destiny helpers for you

God is making way of escape from troubles for you.
God is making way for you out of that sickness and disease

I like you to believe it. A testimony awaits you in Jesus' Name.

DRESS WELL

TREASURES OF GRACE
WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS
TOPIC: DRESS WELL
SCRIPTURE: The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You |  Psalm 45:13-14

It is often said that the way you dress equals the way you will be addressed.
Nothing reflects the personality of a person like the way he is dressed. Dressing is a major part of the culture of any kingdom. As citizens of God's kingdom we also must dress to reflect the culture of our King.

The text Scripture makes us understand that:

a. Our dressing has a correlation with the glory we have inside: "The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold..." There is a glory upon your life and so the way we dress reflects how much we value that glory. Have you ever wondered that after you wore a cloth you have had for a long time, people will be saying this dress is so fine! It is a function of the inner glory. This glory within you is what gives you a unique presentation.

b. Our dressing should have good finishing: "She will be led to the King in embroidered work..." Embroided work talks of good finishing and this entails good design, it entails good colour combination and it means it must fit your body.

c. The way you dress determines what you attract: "The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You." Your dressing determines what and who follows you. Virgins speaks of holiness. There are ways a person will dress and it will only attract the spirit of lust and make slots to go after such a person. The way you dress will attract your kind and repel those that are not your type.
Dressing can expose you to the right or wrong people.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT DRESSING

1. Either stimulates respect or disrespect

2. It confirms our growth and maturity: The way we dress is a major reflection of how we think. Shabby thinking produces shabby dressing and good thinking produces good dressing. That is why it is called dress sense.

3. Dressing communicates your intention: Dressing is the easiest way to make your statenent wordless. For example a wife who wants to have a romantic moment with her husband could choose some kind of seductive dress plus appealing colours as soon as her husband walks into the room, he needs no further communication, he already knows. This is because dressing is a wordless expression of our hearts.
As a believer dont communicate lust, dont become the avenue through which the devil will communicate his language to others.

3 things dressing should do for us:

1. It should cover our nakedness: Even mad people seek to cover their nakedness.

2. It gives us colour: choose great colours. If you must block the colours do it well. Dont appear rainbow-like.

3. It should show what brand you stand for: It must reveal whether you are for God or the devil. For light or darkness. For sin or righteousness.

4. It must give you confidence: If you are not confident in your dress it kills self esteem too.

Finally, not that a dress is more than a piece of fabric having a fashion style. It communicates who you are consciously or subconsciously.
So beloved dress well...dress to represent the Kingdom of God.

With love,
Joel Dabbas

TREASURE OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WRITTEN BY DR. JOEL DABBAS

TOPIC: LORD I MAKE YOU MY HABITATION
SCRIPTURE:Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation - Psalm 91:9
KEY THOUGHT: God must become your habitation not your visitation

Your relationship with God will determine your revelation of God. What you can draw from God is hinged on if you are close or distant from Him. There are people who visit God only on weekly basis, some it is only on christmas day, others it is only when they have problems thet come to Him. The closer you are to God the more you enjoy His touch.
In our anchor text, David stated a type of relationship with God. He said that God is his habitation. That means God is my shelter, my apartment. It literally means that i live inside God. My residency is in Him. It is saying that it is in God i live, move and have my beign. It is a level that everything about you is traceable in God.
Jesus said  that " I am the vine; you are the branches. Whiever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears nuch fruit..." it implies that to draw capacity, grace, anointing, power, influence, impact and nutrients from God you must make Him your place of perpetual stay.
Fruit means result; result bearers are those who make God their habitation.
Today don't just make room for God make God your room. 
Finally, remember that God must become your habitation not your visitation.

PRAYER: O LORD! Open Your door for me, take me depper into You. Let me be drawn into You everyday and everytime in Jesus' Name.
