Text: Philippians 4:15-20 (KJV)
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

Memorise: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. – Luke 9:62
Read: 2 Peter 2:20-22 (KJV)
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Bible in One Year: Isaiah 37-39
Our God is a builder – He builds lives, and He has a plan for every single person here on earth. Jeremiah 29:11says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

The moment someone surrenders his life to Christ, He begins to build that fellow into something great. However, every time the fellow backslides, the building will be affected. I also like to use the analogy of a sculptor for this. A sculptor may decide to carve a lion out of a piece of wood but find it uncooperative, breaking easily, and thus decide to carve a cat from what is left of it. If at some point while sculpting, the piece of wood breaks again, the sculptor may then decide to make a rat with what is left of the wood. If the wood breaks yet such that it cannot be salvaged, sculptor could turn it to firewood.
Every time you backslide, you frustrate the ultimate plan of God for your life.
Each time a person falls out of the faith, they are just like that piece of wood that keeps breaking. When they get back on their feet, God may decide to continue with what is left, but believe me, except by divine mercy, they cannot be what He originally planned for them. God’s original plan for Samson was that he would deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines and then be their leader, but he didn’t fulfil destiny. Gehazi could have become a greater prophet than Elisha, but he ended up with leprosy. Backsliding can cost you your destiny; beware.
The main danger of backsliding is being thrown into hell fire. Some people get the chance to stand again after backsliding, but not everyone does. Judas Iscariot had been falling and rising while he was Jesus’ treasurer (John 12:6), but one day he fell and never had a chance to rise again. It is a disaster for anyone who has had an encounter with Christ to still end up in hell.
Father, let me never do anything that can make me fall short of Your glory in the mighty name Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 133-139
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 43:18-21 (KJV)
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.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

Our confession of Christ Jesus as Our Lord and Saviour is a transformation of life from the natural to the supernatural, it is the invitation of the heavenly into the Earthly and the Beginning of a life of impact in the earth demonstrating God's will.
The Bible says that my People perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) and Proverbs 29:18 says where there is no revelation people are destroyed or go astray.
When The Spirit of revelation comes upon us, it is the release of the will of God in heaven that He wants us to confess on earth to be done here. This is the essence of the Lord's prayer.
Your will be done here as it is in Heaven. The Spirit of Revelation reveals to us the will of God through visions, dreams and revelations that we receive from Him, revealing His kingdom.
Revelation is a release of heavenly plan of God about the affairs of the Earth.
Through revelations, Jesus Christ makes known to us the secrets of heaven and the plans of the enemy - the devil.
📖 *Scripture Reading*📖
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
John 3:11
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John 3:12
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:13
The Lord Jesus Christ Our Saviour who came down from heaven always desires to manifest the things of Heaven. Absurdly, our desires are too earthly that they end up blocking this plan.
Giving Christ room to manifest is one way of how we enter into the Spiritual world or realm and download the heavenly picture to transform our Earthly Life.
✍🏾 *Any Christian not yet at this level is still tooooooo carnal for life and such as a one lives to seek Miracles, Money, Marriage, Material things Jobs, good leadership etc. Remember all these don't lead us to being destroyed. We can have them but still be destroyed because we are not living a normal Christian life but a Carnal Christian life.*
📖 *Scripture Reading*📖
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea 4:6
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but He that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Proverbs 29:18
✍🏾 *Note that prophetic revelation expands our capacity to see life from God's perspective, this helps us to see our circumstances and situations through God's eyes and download God's will about it.*
This is how we see God's will and mind concerning our situations and circumstances then we choose to agree with heaven in binding and loosing.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:19
✍🏾 Many times this verse has not worked because we try to use it in the carnal mind though it is a true gesture of the open heaven.
There are things God has already bond in the heavenly yet for us on earth we still love them. We keep praying for them yet they will never happen🤔🤔🤔🤔.
👉🏾 *Update your Christian life today to the normal Christian life which is by Revelation, flee the Earthly Christian life of carnality. This is the mother of people who blame God and end up living in a backsliding state that is both hot and cold i.e. Lukewarm*
Change your ways.
Shalom.
