DISSOLVING MYSTERIES IN YOUR LIFE
DISSOLVING MYSTERIES IN YOUR LIFE
SCRIPTURE: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:1-3 KJV
You need to understand that there are two order of mystery in life:
First, God who fashioned your existence is a God who is also mysterious.
Secondly, there are mysterious systems of control that also want to interject your life so as to gain right over your existence and do with you as they wish. This is what I call dark or ungodly mysteries.
The difference between God's mysterious works and that of the devil in your life is that, the mystery of God does not lead to misery in the life of a person. Also, the mystery of God is full of His awesome goodness, splendor, glory and wisdom. We might not be able to comprehend it but we will always appreciate it. But that of the enemy causes pain and redundancy in the life of an individual.
There are people whose lives, destiny, calling and greatness is shrouded in mysteries. They cannot pin point what is wrong with them. Everything seems dark around. This is a pointer to the fact that there are dark mysteries around.
A life shrouded in mystery will always experience strange events. What should ordinarily be normal with people is not for such a person. For instance the route to little or great achievements is often like a journey in the desert for them. What takes others fourty days to accomplish theirs takes forty years.
A life shrouded in mysteries also can be characterized with delays. Everything is usually delayed. When it comes to education there is delay, marriage there is delay. Job there is delay, opportunities there is always delay. They strain and wait before the littlest of things happen for them.
A life shrouded in mysteries is also full of pain. And the person cannot understand why things are like this. Every relationship ends in heartbreak, marriage ending in divorce for no reason, every pregnancy ends in miscarriage, every exam ends with missing scripts or incomplete tabulation of scores and so on.
A life shrouded in mysteries is characterized by perennial and persistent cycle of disfavour, disappointment and shame
A life enveloped in mysteries is a life that is a hard nut to crack. Too tough to explain or understand.
Some years ago I met a young man, who does odd jobs to gather money to pay his school fees and after he pays his school fees, he becomes mentally unstable. He would regain mental stability when the school is in mid semester or one week to end of semester exams. This continued until I ministered to him by the Spirit of God. The demon screamed out and said it was his step mother who doesn’t want him to be in school, she was jealous that although his mum wasn't alive he was able to forge ahead with his studies whilst her own children aren't doing well academically. That mystery around the events of his life was unraveled that day and that demon of madness was returned to the one who sent it.
Beloved, life is very spiritual and there are unseen controls that could step into lives, destinies, families and so on to cause a distortion of order. But hear me child of God any hand behind mysterious events in your life is arrested today.
I have also seen people who will keep money in certain places in their room that only them knows and it would mysteriously disappear. Until the mystery was revealed the enemy had positioned to waste that person's finances perpetually.
How to handle and dissolve mysteries in your life:
1. Identify by observation
There are many people who don't pay attention to the things happening around their lives. They are very casual and loquacious about life and the events around them. If you can't notice you won't be stimulated to address the situation.
2. The power of revelation and insight
It takes light to dismiss the darkness around. Mysteries are often forged in darkness, maintained in darkness and worked from darkness. That is why only light can accurately make bare what is wrong.
Most persistent infirmity and situations are enforced by mysteries.
In Luke 13:10-16 KJV we see Jesus unravel the mystery behind a woman's situation:
"And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
[11] And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself .
[12] And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him , and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
[13] And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
[14] And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
[15] The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
[16] And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
In the eyes of everyone this woman is just having a medical condition but Jesus said there is a demon behind the scene making sure she remained like that. At that revelation and insight that devil left her after 18 years. Beloved, if there is. O insight or revelation the devil can sit on a person's life destiny for years and won't let go.
Revelation and insight helps you to see what is actually responsible and how to deal with it and come out in victory.
3. The revelation by the Word of God (John 1:1;5)
Word insight is a tool to dissolve mysteries. You can't receive your word from His word and not dissolve mysteries in your life.
Jeremiah 23:29 KJV says that
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord ; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" The word of God hammers and blasts off every tough or hard mystery around your life. That is why you must be rooted in a solid Word based church and listen to your word aligned servant of God as you also spend time with God's Word.
4. By Wisdom
Proverbs 1:5-6 KJV says that
"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
[6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings." Wisdom helps you to dissolve dark puzzles of your life easily
5. By the prophetic Word
The earth was covered by darkness but when God began to release fireful words the earth was restored (Genesis1). See, don't confess the situation and reality. But reject and release Spirit inspired words. Prophetic words chokes out the works of darkness from your life.
We often see this in our meetings where we speak to lives to be loosed and we receive testimonies of such deliverance. This happened because prophetic words are fiery swords that goes out to make war against the devil that won't allow you to have rest.
6. Prayer of inquiry
Matthew 17:21 KJV
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." While at it pray by asking God to show you or tell you what is wrong. The prayer of inquiry is that prayer that enables you to return with specific answers or instructions to help handle the situation.
7. Faith
Mark 9:23 KJV
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Prayer Points
• Every dark mystery surrounding my life, destiny, and family catch fire now in Jesus Name
• Lord, rearrange and reorganize every area of my life that the enemy has tampered with or wasted in Jesus Name
• O wind of God bring back all my wasted years to me this year i. Jesus Name
• I must begin to testify of new beginnings from now onwards in Jesus Name

TREASURES OF GRACE: EMPOWERMENT FOR MANIFESTATION
TREASURES OF GRACE
(DAILY DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY DR JOEL DABBAS)EMPOWERMENT FOR MANIFESTATION
SCRIPTURE: "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
[22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Luke 3:21-22 KJV
There is a strong link between empowerment and manifestation. If you desire to manifest in any area of your life, you must hunger for empowerment.
Empowerment is to be enabled or equipped to do something or carry out a task.
Empowerment can also mean to be equipped with power. In physics power is defined as the ability to do work. Spiritually also power is supernatural enduement to do work and generate effect or impact.
While manifestation simple means to produce proofs, results or evidence.
The law of manifestation states that manifestation is directly proportional to empowerment. That means the degree to which you are empowered equals the degree of your manifestation in life, ministry, calling, business, job, academics, family and even destiny. If you must generate powerful impact and great results in any area of life, you must first be empowered.
Why It is Necessary To Be empowered For Manifestation
1. Empowerment is necessary so that the devil and his cohorts won't make a mess of you
"[13] Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
[14] And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
[15] And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
[16] And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." Acts 19:13-16 KJV
The sons of Sceva were children of a priest but have no stature and data with Jesus that could stand the demons. They desired to do what Paul was doing without knowing the measure of empowerment Paul had received to show such manifestation.
Do not envy the results of another without studying and doing what brought such a person to that dimension.
Do dare what another is doing effortlessly without acquiring the same power that helps such a one to function with ease.
If you must produce proofs you must get to the training place of equipping and empowerment.
2. Empowerment is necessary to birth Divine purpose.
Empowernment fires out your potentials for the fulfilment of destiny. To be powerless is to live like a destitute and to exist as if you were created by mistake.
Jesus was empowered and that fired all the manifestations that was recorded in Scripture about Him.
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38 KJV).
It takes the imputation of power for manifestation to occur.
3. Empowerment is necessary to overcome resistance.
It takes the Power of God to overcome obstacles and uproot mountains. It takes power to push off resistance from our lives.
4. Empowerment is necessary to make progress.
Power is the sponsor of progress; it defeats stagnation and provokes change.
KEYS TO EMPOWERMENT
A. Be Overwhelmed By The Holy Ghost
The Holy Spirit is the custodian of power and so access to Him and deep intimacy with Him will give you power to manifest
B. Prayer
While the Holy Spirit rested upon Jesus He was praying. It is not possible for a person to be prayerful and be powerless. The altar of prayer is the altar of empowerment and manifestation.
C. The Word of God
The Word of God carries the rays of power. You can't connect with the word of God and not imbibe power into you.
Ecclesiastes 8:4 "Where the word of a king is, there is power"
PRAYER POINTS
1- My Father, my Father, show forth Your glory, might, and power in my life, my family, and Your church this year in the Name of Jesus. Acts 1:8
2- My Father, my Father, I make demands for the release of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. Help me to know the hope you have called me to and your inheritance reserved for me this year in the Name of Jesus. Ephesians 1:17-18
3- My Father, my Father, I make demands for the manifestation of the Spirit of excellence in all I do this year in Jesus' name. Daniel 5:14

THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY
THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY
Scripture: "The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33:14-16 New International Version (NIV)

The Divine Burden
Title: "The Divine Burden"
Short story by Dr Joel Dabbas
In a quiet village, Mary found herself in the midst of an extraordinary journey that would forever alter the course of her life. A divine burden, she carried within her womb the promise of something miraculous. Yet, the weight of this revelation wasn't only felt in the swelling of her belly.
Mary bore the silent shame of a tale too fantastical for those tethered to earthly logic. To them, her immaculate conception was a perplexing fairy tale, an enigma that invited whispers of doubt and judgment.
As her belly grew, so did the burden of rejection and scorn. The skeptical eyes and hushed criticisms formed a storm around her, a tempest of humiliation that only intensified with each passing day. She became a parable of faith, a living testament to the unfathomable ways of the divine.
Joseph, her betrothed, faced the internal struggle of a man torn between love and reason. Convinced of her betrayal, he contemplated releasing her from their engagement. In his justified hurt, Mary faced the impending heartbreak of losing the man she loved. Yet, in his wisdom, Joseph became an unexpected ally, embracing the divine plan unfolding before them.
The pain Mary endured was not in vain but a precursor to a greater gain. A poignant reminder that anything worthwhile demands sacrifice. She, in her quiet submission to God's will, became a vessel of divine purpose, proving that the path to something extraordinary often weaves through the fabric of hardship.
As we reflect on Mary's journey on the screen of time, let it be said of us that we too, like her, embraced the sacrifices required to fulfill God's agenda in our lives.
