Step Out With Femi Monehin

“Elijah said to her… make a little bread for me first then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son… So she did as Elijah said, and… there was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised…” 
- 1 Kings 17:13,15-16.

It is one thing to believe in the supernatural, it is another thing to be open to the supernatural. It is one thing to have the supernatural at arm’s length, it is another thing to embrace the supernatural. Do you desire to be open to the supernatural but you are wondering how to go about it? To be open to the supernatural, you must know two things.

#1. Miracles happen outside of your comfort zone. The first thing you have to understand is that the miraculous happens outside of your comfort zone. Miracles do not happen in your comfort zone. Imagine your comfort zone is zone A. that is where you do life and have achieved a comfortable rhythm and routine. Guess what? Miracles do not happen there. Miracles happen in zone Z, outside of your comfort zone.

So for you to get the miracles that you want, you have to come out of your comfort zone. It could be in something as simple as rhythm. Take fasting for instance; do you know that it is possible to fast in your comfort zone? You are fasting and nothing is even moving, you are not feeling anything. In fact, your physical body is not even feeling the fast. Some people say that it is when they fast their belly comes out. The truth is you have not really started fasting. It is when you push out of your comfort zone that miracles happen. By God’s grace, I fast a lot and it is easy if you fast a lot to fast in your comfort zone. But I always ensure that I push myself out of my comfort zone. Why? Simple, because I know that is where the miracles happen.

With praying it is the same thing. God wants you to pray. You have to pray out of your comfort zone; that is where the miracles happen. There are seasons in church where we have vigils every single day and some people have called it crazy. News flash, your bed is your comfort zone and miracles do not happen there. Miracles happen outside your comfort zone. You cannot keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. It does not make sense. Miracles happen outside of your comfort zone.

Prayer [song]: Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the water wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander. And my faith will be made stronger in the Presence of my Savior. Amen!

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
