The devil is powerless. Jesus made a public display of his defeat. And finally, after defeating the devil, Jesus overcame death. This is the same victory God has given to His children. If you are a believer, you have nothing to fear. Today, your identity is found in the identity of our Lord Jesus Christ. As you live by the name of Jesus Christ, you have been given the authority that is in His name. This is the absolute truth.

One of the ways the devil tries to trick God’s people is by implanting a lie in their hearts. Even though the devil is powerless, he still tries to instill fear in you. By planting fear, he seeks to gain access to your spiritual strength and subdue you. In our opening scriptures, God tells us that we should not fear. The only thing we are called to do with the devil is resist him. The Bible says, ‘Resist the devil, and he will flee from you’ (James 4:7). The devil is not the problem—immaturity is. It is due to a lack of knowledge that God’s children are destroyed (ref. Hosea 4:6). Today, God is telling and training you not to fear, regardless of the situation or circumstances. There may be many different situations and circumstances that surround you and try to bring fear, but the problem is not the circumstances. The Greater One lives in you (ref. 1 John 4:4). The issue lies in the false fear the devil is trying to plant within you.

The very first step you should take when you find yourself in such a situation is to announce loudly with your mouth: ‘I refuse to fear.’ Speak it out boldly and proclaim it in the name of Jesus, declaring that there is no fear. Command fear to leave you. After this, the next thing you should do is start speaking the Word of God concerning your situation. Overcoming fear is a great victory. Every other miracle follows after you defeat fear. We’ll learn more about it in the coming days. Keep growing in the Lord.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that there is nothing I need to fear about. All things are Yours, and You have everything I need. Thank You for giving me victory over Satan. Thank You for loving me and for giving me authority in the name of Jesus. I live today with courage and faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen

As a child of God, God has invested the power of the Holy Spirit in your spirit. With maturity, you begin to realize your supernatural abilities. When I say supernatural, I mean that they are indeed natural for a spiritual being. Today, we will be learning more about quiet time. Quiet time helps us align ourselves with the will of God. One more thing that quiet time does is; it helps you experience the power of God. When you fellowship with the Holy Spirit long enough, a time will come when the power of the Holy Spirit is demonstrated right where you are. You may have already experienced this. In common terms, many people say they feel the anointing of God. In Christ Jesus, you need to understand that the anointing doesn’t come over you; rather, you are filled with the Holy Spirit. That experience is not an anointing, but the power of God being released as you function spiritually.

Unless you experience the power of God in your private moments, the same power may never be demonstrated publicly. If you want God’s power to be actively working in your world—whether in your workplace, your business, or any other area of your life—it must first begin in your closet. Quiet time and moments of meditation are key opportunities to learn how to function in the power of God. The same word you meditate upon has the ability to overpower the physical realm and demonstrate itself. When you are alone in the presence of God, especially during quiet time or while fasting and praying, yield yourself completely to Him. Present yourself to be moved by Him, and let this be a transformative experience in your life.

Once the power of God begins to be activated in your private moments, it doesn’t take long before you see it influencing your workplace and your business. Your success in life is not something you have to labor or struggle for; it becomes a natural outcome. All you need to know is this: while you are on earth, you are not of the earth. You are a spiritual being, born of God and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for filling me with the Holy Spirit and for teaching and training me in righteousness. As I come to understand the power of quiet time, I yield myself to You and commit to spending more time growing and maturing spiritually. Thank You for Your grace and for the supernatural life in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
