Let us pray.
Father, thank You for Your Word that is light unto our souls. Today we ask for the revelation of Your Word in our hearts, Lord, in Jesus’ name. Yes, and Amen.

So, tonight we’ll look at something I have tagged, TRUTH vs FACTS😁😄😃
As sister PRINCESSOJO will always say; please listen with your spirits tonight.
The very first thing I want us to know this night is this; Though we are in this world, we are not of this world.
As God’s children, we are Kings and Priests, therefore we have legitimate dominion to lord over this world.
So, the social norms of culture and society should not shape us, instead, we should shape them.
Selah.
That is just a special bonus gift o. I did not even plan these beginning comments.
Thank you, Holy Spirit. I believe that is for someone.
Ok, so TRUTH vs FACTS.
Now I know that the dictionary has given various definitions of Truth, but in the kingdom of Light, truth has one definition – Truth is what God has said.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
[Numbers 23:19 KJV]
You see, the strength of God’s Word lies in the integrity of His person.
He is omnipresent. He is everywhere at once and He rules outside time.
This means that when God says a thing, at the same time He said it, He has done it. So, when His Word comes, whether spoken Word or Written Word, it is already done all that we wait for is the physical manifestation.
One thing that God gave to man that He will never tamper with is the power of Choice (Will).
So, whenever we are faced with a situation of whatever magnitude, we have the opportunity to choose to go with the TRUTH or FACTS.
For most of us, when we are faced with a challenge, what we begin to do is quite funny – we begin to analyse the FACTS of the issue over and over and over again. When you do such, you are only magnifying the problem.
Please note that I am not saying you should be lazy toward the issue, rather subscribe to the TRUTH to find your way out.
You see, if you want to see the Bible work for you, make it the final authority over your life.
Let it penetrate deep into your spirit and soul, to the point that the Word of God dictates the outcome of your life.
Let us look at the book of John:
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
[John 8:32 KJV]
The Holy Spirit dropped a revelation about TRUTH in my heart after studying this verse. He said, “it is only truth (God’s Word) that has saving capabilities”.
So, dwelling on the facts only magnifies the problem, with no hope of freedom.
But you see, we must dwell in the Word to change our thinking patterns. Apostle Paul was trying to teach the Romans something that I will like to shed light on.
He said in Romans 12:2;
Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.
Romans 12:2 (TPT)
Note: “…a total reformation of how you think.”
Prior to exposure to the Word of God, our minds had patterns, ideas, opinions and cultural practices that it was stuck to; meaning that our lives were a product of the ideals of the world.
However, Apostle Paul says here that the remedy to such a corrupted mindset is to subscribe daily to the Word of God so that it will construct a better, higher civilization and government by the power of the Holy Ghost to rule over our minds thereby transforming our spirits and framing a more glorious reality.
You see, Apostle Paul said that “the wisdom of man is foolishness before God”.
Beware of people who always lean into logic. The things of the Spirit are not logical, they are not open to public opinion and not open to checking facts. Rather, they are exact and perfect because they are fuelled by the truth of God.
So, if God gives a Word and says you will own an estate by this time tomorrow but you are currently living in a rented apartment, the most harmful thing you can do is to begin to use logic and loom at the facts.
Kai!!!
You may make silly statements like “who dash monkey Banana” or “Small me” or “Estates are for the rich“.
Excuse me, whose child do you think you are?
Oh, Jesus, I can sense something brewing in the Spirit and only those who can hold on to the truth and drop every form of logic or facts will lay hold of it.
1 Then Elisha said, hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus, saith the Lord, tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
[2 Kings 7:1-2 KJV]
For the sake of time, I will not put the full story here.
But Samaria was suffering what I call an impossible Famine, but God is the God of all possibilities.
Notice, the Word of the Lord came (TRUTH), but here comes this LOGICAL fellow saying “might these things be?”
Oga I have one question, Is it by your power or strength?
And because he was too logical, he missed out on the blessing. Kai!!!
I don’t know who the Lord is talking to but, it is time to do away with the facts and Logic and start believing the TRUTH.
Facts and logic are only a tool in the enemy’s hand to distract you from the truth.
When you let God’s Word have the final say in your life, the truth will set you free.
For the people of the world, their default setting, unfortunately, is to go with only the facts and focus on them and at the end of the day, there is no result.
Imagine when one is facing a spiritual problem. You don’t carry out effective warfare by looking at the facts over and over and over.
Granted, you may study the facts once to see what truth (THE WORD) to apply. Remember scriptures say;
for we wrestle not against Flesh and Blood…”
[Ephesians 6:12 KJV]
The Truth (God’s Word) is timeless and effective in every season.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
[Matthew 24:35 KJV]
The TRUTH is your best bet in any and every situation.
Shalom!
Nothing Missing!!
Nothing Broken!!!
Yes, and Amen.
