Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…
We live in a world where being different is often shunned. Many seek to fit in, to be relevant, and to please people rather than God. But God is raising a generation that refuses to live by the world’s standards, a generation that does not seek validation from the world. The Bible reminds us we are not of this world, just as Jesus was not of it.
Just because something is widely accepted doesn’t make it right. Look at Daniel, he chose a different path. While others dined lavishly, he set himself apart by honouring God, choosing to eat differently from the rest.
We are that generation who follow a different pattern. We are not conformed to this world. Even our thinking is transformed because the same mind that was in Christ is now in us.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am not of this world. I have been set apart for God’s holy purpose. I am a bright and shining light before men for the glory of my Father in Heaven. Amen!

John 15:19
John 14:16 (KJV)
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.
Do you fully grasp how amazing this scripture is? Let me show you. Look at the word ‘comforter’, which is used to describe the Holy Spirit. It is the Greek word ‘parakletos’, it means an intercessor, a consoler, an assistant, an advocate. Just imagine that in you right now resides this powerful being who among other things is your assistant! This is good news brothers and sisters.
The Holy Spirit came to help you live the best Christian life. There’s no reason for you to fail in anything in life after you’ve received the Holy Spirit. You have no right to fail because the Holy Spirit is your helper! He’ll help and teach you to pray, and He’ll teach you the Word! He’ll show you how to be free from debt and live in surplus, He can help you get a job, He’ll energize and give you the ability to succeed in business and family life. His ability will become your ability, and His strength will become your strength.
Recognize Him daily as your divine assistant and know that He came to make you a success in life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today I give the Holy Spirit the pre-eminence in my life. I shall be amazed at the magnitude of God’s glory that’ll be manifest in me. Excellence, dignity and honour; and His ability, strength and wisdom will be evident in my life from now in Jesus Name!

Romans 8:26
Daniel 6:4 (KJV)
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
God looks for faithful men and women to carry out His purpose and work here on earth. The Bible gives an example of Daniel as one who was faithful to God in a most remarkable and inspiring way. He was perfectly faithful and devoted to the Lord; the Scripture says there was neither any error nor fault found in him. He was neither corrupt nor negligent. He was faithful in all his dealings. Can you say that about yourself?
As a Christian, your primary allegiance, dedication, commitment and loyalty is first to God and His Word before anything else. Persecution may come at you from all angles, but you must remain steadfast and undaunted in your service and allegiance to the Lord. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because he chose to be faithful to God, and God shut the mouths of the lions - faithfulness produces protection!
Faithful people are chosen for important responsibilities, therefore, choose to be a faithful steward in God’s house. In using your gifts and abilities, finances and material blessings - choose to be faithful! It breaks chains!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I declare my absolute trust and allegiance to God today. I choose to faithfully serve Him with my life no matter the challenges ahead in Jesus Name! Amen.

James 1:25 (KJV)
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
The Word of God is His mirror. The Bible says anyone who hears the Word and doesn’t act accordingly is like a man who sees himself in a mirror, turns around and forgets what he looks like (James 1:23-24). In other words, God expects you to hear His Word and do what it says. Question is, how does one do the Word?
You do the Word by seeing yourself the way God sees you to be in His Word and then act accordingly. For instance, in the Word, the mirror of God, He says, you’re healed, that is God’s image and reflection of you. See that image of yourself in perfect health and endorse it. Act like it’s true; for it’s true. If the Word mirror says prosperity is yours, endorse that Word and act it out by faith. Quit speaking broke language. Keep looking into the mirror of God; keep studying and listening to the Word. As you do, you’ll become more and more like the glory you see in the Word.
This is the mirror principle of the Word.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
From today, God’s mirror is what I will look at every day and not circumstances around me. I endorse and act out what the mirror of the Word says about me. Thank you, Lord, for your Word! Amen.

GOD’S INVITATION
2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)
The Lord is not… not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The worst bondage a person can experience is being lost without salvation. Sin holds people captive, blinding them to the truth and keeping them bound for destruction. Yet, God’s greatest desire is for you to be free, to be part of His family, and to be with Him forever. The Bible declares, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8). This means that everything needed to make you right with God has already been done. All that remains is for you to believe it!
Do not let anything keep you from making the most important decision of your life. Refuse to stay bound! The door to salvation is open, and Jesus Himself is calling you. Pray this prayer with faith:
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
O Lord God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ. I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. I believe He died for me, and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today and that He wants me to be with Him in Heaven. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!

Isaiah 60:3 (NKJV)
The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Diligence is more than hard work; it is intelligent, consistent effort with a focus on excellence. It is the quality that separates those who struggle in obscurity from those who rise to prominence. The Word says that kings, great and influential people, will come to your rising. But for that to happen, you must first rise! Your elevation is the magnet that draws greatness. The lazy, the inconsistent, and the excuse-makers remain in the shadows, but the diligent stand in the spotlight of opportunity.
This is your year to rise! Refuse to be held down by chains of fear, slothfulness, doubt or excuses. Elevate your skills, sharpen your expertise, and build your business with excellence. If training is required, invest in it. If new strategies are needed, implement them. Whatever it takes for you to rise, RISE! Your next level is waiting for you, and with it comes divine connections, favour, and access to kings!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare that I rise above every limitation! Kings are drawn to the brightness of my rising. I operate in divine wisdom, diligence, and excellence, and my business flourishes beyond measure! In the Name of Jesus, clients gravitate towards my business, seeking the sanctuary of my expertise, insight and goods! Amen.

Proverbs 22:29
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
The verse for today is among the most recognisable passages of scripture in the whole of Christendom yet many are yet to fully realise all that is encapsulated within it. It shows us that one of Faiths primary functions is to reshape your reality! The Word framed comes from the Greek, karatizō meaning to complete or repair, to restore and perfect something into its proper condition! As Christians through Faith, you have the power to remodel your life by the power the Word of God contains!
There is a condition in which every child of God is meant to live, when you are living a life contrary to what God has planned for those who follow Him, begin to frame your world to your liking! Refuse to consider your current circumstances, you have been given the unquestionable authority to adjust everything around you today. You’re your own life’s architect, start remodelling your life to your liking!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The same faith used to form the universe is in my possession. With this ability to reshape my world, I prophesy a drastic change in anything that is not aligned to God’s perfect will for my life in Jesus Name! Amen.

Hebrews 11:1
2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV)
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
The title of today’s reading may come as a shock to you, as many Christians around the world can recall many a-time they gave expecting a financial windfall in return yet received “nothing.” However, that is not the case! Your giving will always produce a result just as the Word of God promises. The problem we find in the church today is people often associate blessings only with financial rewards as a result of their sowing and giving!
Whilst you can receive such blessings due to your giving, how do you know that when layoffs came to your workplace your name was not supposed to be among those who were discharged, or that your health was not supposed to be targeted by the diseases that plagued your country or city? The bible tells us in Proverbs 21:18 that the wicked shall become ransom for the righteous, meaning, by way of your giving, if there was something sent to destroy the righteous, God will give the life of the wicked in your place! Today, learn to recognise the many avenues in which God can choose to reward your giving!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a cheerful Giver! I know when I give to God, I can always expect a result not only financially, but in every aspect of my life, whether it be health, peace or elsewhere! Amen.

Proverbs 21:18
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT)
So, we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
Are you aware that as a child of God, not only do you carry His Spirit on the inside of you, but you carry the atmosphere of Heaven wherever you go? This means, in whichever vocation you specialise in or the educational field you study, you are not operating by the same rules as everybody else, but a system not of this world, the system of Heaven! One of the most detrimental mistakes you can make is viewing yourself with the lens the world looks at you in rather than what God deems you to be!
If you are conscious of your role as a representative of His atmosphere, an ambassador of Christ, you ought to walk with a sense of dignity. There is a decorum that comes with the job. Head held high; shoulders squared complete with a spring in your step, you speak for God! No profanity touches the lips of a Heavenly delegate, anger is not in the equation, immorality is unheard of, instead, a life of integrity and purity. The moment you accepted God into your life, you were separated from this earthly realm and set apart to Him. You are Heaven’s delegate, the Word of God in motion, walk with dignity as you go about your day today.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am God’s representative. When people see me walk, they see Christ walking; everything about me reflects Him! I carry divinity, so I walk with dignity in Jesus Name!

Acts 17:11 (NIV)
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Chinese Whispers is a children’s game where players sit in a line or circle and pass on a message by whispering from one person to the next. By the time the message reaches the last person, it is often hilariously distorted due to misheard words or accidental changes. In a world full of various mediums to exchange ideologies, philosophies, theological ideas, and various topics popular amongst the public discourse, it’s extremely easy to get information pertaining to the Word of God distorted or changed based on the avenue in which you received it or the vessel that delivered it!
With the rise of false doctrines, if you do not verify the material you consume, you are subject to the enemy’s attacks. The verse above shows us that the Bereans would examine the scriptures EVERYDAY to see if what Paul said was true! Many treat picking up their bible as an inconvenience and would rather trust the words of someone without double checking the Word of God. Choose to make studying the Bible a priority in your life today!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
From today, I shall grow deeper in the knowledge of the Word of God. I shall not be swayed by falsified doctrines or evil voices bent on causing discord in my life. I am blessed beyond measure as a result! Amen.

Mark 4:38-39 (KJV)
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Among the world’s most unpredictable fixed variables, weather fluctuations from hot to cold, rainy to dry and vice versa can occur in mere moments! In the same way, its parallels between the circumstances we face in our lives are abundant. Many Christians make the detrimental mistake of expecting their circumstances to match the level of their joy. They expect peace to be their portion only if the bank account agrees. This is far from true.
According to the Word, it makes no difference the situation you find yourself in, whether it rains or shines, it should never determine your peace or joy. There is a God given tranquillity that can calm the greatest storms around you. Look at the example of our Lord Jesus, He literally slept peacefully during a killer storm! What’s the weather like in your life today? Whatever it is, don’t let it affect your peace!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I do not fear what happens around me. No matter what today’s spiritual weather forecast projects, I do not fear the enemy’s fruitless plans. There shall be peace in my life in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Mark 10:48 (NIV)
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
One of the enemy’s biggest tools to derail a Christian’s purpose is influencing them through the people they place around themselves. There are many who’s main aim is to stifle your growth in the Lord or serve as obstacles between you and your blessing. They say statements like, “Do you really believe everything in the Bible,” or “Not everything has to be about God, live a little,” ‘Must you always shout in church?’ In the passage above, Blind Bartimaeus received his healing based on his response to the Word! Even in the midst of the multitude that berated him for his noise, he did not fall silent!
Quiet Christians die quietly; when it comes to spiritual truths silence is never an option! Christians today miss out on the blessings God has stored up for them simply because they failed to show their recognition of His presence in their lives by the level of their response. Like Blind Bartimaeus, when God presents the solution to your problem right in front of you, never allow anyone to lessen your shout!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am not a silent Christian. Silence is never an option for me! I speak the transformative power in the Word of God to take root in my life now as I command every good thing to happen to me today in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone.
It’s no secret that in the animal kingdom the Lion sits at the top of the hierarchy as the King of the Jungle. But did you know that a lion spends the majority of its day sleeping? Sixteen to twenty hours of its day is spent in a place of rest, garnering strength for the hunt at night! In the verse above we see the Lord Jesus dismiss the disciples to pray alone; the significance of this particular prayer is shown in the events that followed. After His time in seclusion, He went on to perform one of the most widely recognised miracles in theological study: the Lord Jesus walked on water!
As a Christian it is essential that you adopt a lion complex, understanding the importance of taking time out to recharge in prayer. Just as the lion gathers strength in its rest, you can gather strength and reshape your life through prayer. If you could only believe in this spiritual reality, the results that follow will be powerful enough to shake the very foundations of what you once thought was impossible!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As I pray in the Holy Ghost today, I am recharging myself for every task ahead. I defy every natural law bent on not allowing me to prosper in Jesus Name!

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
There is a colloquial saying that goes as such, ‘No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of a main.’ It may come as a surprise that even the majority of self-made millions and billionaires you know are the product of someone else’s ideas, resources or mindset. The tech billionaire Bill Gates’ father was a millionaire law firm owner whilst his mother was a successful businesswoman who connected him to key figures that would help him later in his own companies.
As a child of God, your family is not the deciding factor of your success but the grace you partake in! When you ascribe to one person’s teachings and revelation, you are directly tying yourself with benefits of the grace they carry. You have an inability to fail, the grace and favour for you to succeed in life is available for you. You are not an island by yourself, you are part of a flourishing country rich in God’s grace called the GoodNewsNation!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am not an island, I am part of a large and wealthy Nation, I can never and will never fail because the grace I’m partaking in is sufficient for me. Amen.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
A common factor among many companies is that when they create a product, such as the latest car model or telephone, they take pride in their work and are eager to proudly proclaim themselves as the creators behind it. This is the same way the Lord Jesus views you. Unlike a car or phone, however, God's creation is perfectly crafted, no bugs or battery failures! The Word of God describes you as the excellent workmanship and handiwork of the ultimate Creator!
God has placed His brand on you forever, meaning He doesn’t expect you to succumb to things like sickness, poverty, and the elements of this world because He made you superior to them! He made you stronger than any weapon the enemy can throw at you. So, never allow yourself to believe you were made to live an ordinary life. You were made with no defects. You are His workmanship.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am God’s perfect product. He made me with perfection in mind. I am His workmanship and handiwork; I live a fault-free life! Amen.

Picture this, amidst the commotion of an armed robbery, a thief fires shots at a member of law enforcement to deter them and form an escape route. The bullet misses its intended target, and instead, a civilian gets caught in the crossfire. What causes the policemen to walk away unharmed while the civilian is injured? This is favour at work. As children of God, regardless of the enemy’s intentions, we are exempt from the ramifications of their attacks, walking away just as the policeman did, unscathed.
If this doesn’t seem fair, it isn’t meant to be! Through the Lord Jesus, we have been given an advantage as we walk through the vicissitudes of this world. We’re a step ahead of those in the world. God has provided favour in every aspect of your life so that you can excel beyond those who walk in darkness. When you learn to apply His Word, His endless favour will speak for you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Favour isn’t meant to be fair! Through Jesus, I have grace to achieve beyond all those within my field of expertise. There is no such thing as competition for me. Hallelujah!

Proverbs 3:4-5
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Even though Christ came to save us through His death and resurrection, many Christians are still plagued by their past mistakes and face the ramifications for them long after they have been saved. While this is a reality many have become accustomed to, this was never God’s intention for your life. The reason for this is many have not fully grasped the concept of forgiveness. When God forgave us on the cross, He expunged the record of all our prior offences.
In the world of criminal law, when someone is exonerated, their record of past crimes is cleared, and their innocence is declared. This is what Christ did for you on the cross. He exonerated you from all your past sins, erasing all your wrongdoing. You are not a victim of your past mistakes; you are a new creature in Christ, and old things have passed away. Your past can never define you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I thank God that yesterday is gone. I am a new creature in Christ, and there is no record of my past mistakes or offences. My future is bright; thank You, Lord Jesus! Amen.

Again, he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus, saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.
The scriptures tell us that in these last days, all Christians have the power to utilise the transformative power of prophecy. Yet, it’s a rarity to find people who actually take advantage of it in their everyday lives. The verse above shows God instructing the Prophet Ezekiel to prophesy to the valley of dry bones, and in a moment, the dry bones begin to form flesh.
As a child of God, regardless of how lifeless the conditions you are experiencing may seem, you have been given the authority to speak prophetic words of life into them! Today, speak to your situation, prophecy words of increase, healing and restoration and watch God resurrect every aspect of your life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I prophesy to my situation! I have the power to speak life regardless of the challenge. Every dry bone is rising up NOW! Amen.

Romans 10:9
Colossians 3:3 (KJV)
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Many Christians live thinking the devil knows everything about them and their lives when this simply isn’t true. The devil is not spiritual, though he is made of spiritual substance. This means he has no ability to discern spiritual matters. He does not know the struggles you face day to day unless you allow him access into your life via your behaviour in response to them. Comprehend that Satan spent time in Heaven walking on the coals of fire worshipping God, yet when he met Him on Earth, he did not recognise Him in Jesus.
The Bible says we are hidden in Christ. This means that our adversary, the devil, is oblivious to our movements. Learn to take advantage of his ignorance. When you feel illness in your body, affirm health in your limbs. When your bank account is in the negative, learn to speak riches. The enemy is clueless!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The devil has no power to destroy me. He is an oblivious adversary. My confession aligns with God’s Word, not my circumstances. In Jesus’ Name, I am a victor! Amen.

2 Corinthians 2:11
1 Corinthians 6:20 (KJV)
For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Whilst the passage of scripture that describes Christians as the temple of the Holy Spirit is among the most popular in theological literature, many do not live as though this is the reality. The Bible teaches us that your body is God's house, and the responsibility is on you to glorify Him through it. This means you cannot allow your body to be ravaged by sin, Satan, or any form of ailment.
As the temple of the Holy Spirit, your health ought to be perfect; you must say no to any form of imperfection in your body, as God designed you with perfection in mind! No illegal transaction should take place concerning you and your body because the Holy Ghost lives in you. Affirm who God has made you in this life, irrespective of the challenges you may be facing, by declaring health in your body today!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My body is perfect! No form of sickness can ravage my life. God lives in me. Devil, you have already lost in Jesus’ Name! Amen
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
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.
Most Christians are acquainted with a limited view of salvation. They think Jesus came solely to save us from our sins and bear our infirmities, yet this isn’t all. His resurrection empowered you to live above the ordinary! Poverty and sickness are aspects of ordinary life, realities that you, child of God, should never accept or accommodate.
When you welcome things contrary to how God desires you to live, you’re like an eagle raised in a chicken coop! Even though you’re the king of the sky, as long as you live among the chickens, you will behave like them and fall sick to the same diseases. You’ll never know how high you can soar as long as you stay comfortable in a state of mundaneness. Walk in the reality of who God has made you; you were born to soar above the systems of this world. Live like it!

The breakdown of any relationship, whether marital or companionable, is when communication ceases to exist. Many Christians today do not realise the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives and, in turn, neglect vital dialogue with Him on a daily basis. The Father is in Heaven, and the Lord Jesus is in Heaven, meaning the God we relate with today is the Holy Spirit! He is what makes the presence of Jesus real to us, making it essential for you to not only acknowledge Him but speak with Him regularly, involving Him in absolutely every area of your life.
The Word describes Him as the Comforter who resides in us forever. So, whenever you face turmoil or the challenges of life, you are never alone as you have an ever-present help with you at all times. Cultivate an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit by consistently speaking in tongues today and see bountiful results spring forth.

When God formed the world, money didn’t exist! Money is simply a societal evolution. Yet, many act as though it fell from Heaven, which simply isn't true. Are you aware that for decades, the money in your bank isn’t backed by physical banknotes but by a digital record of figures on a computer screen associated with your name as proof you have money there? That shows that, in this day and age, money is an illusion: it exists only in the eyes of the poor.
Your true value doesn’t lie in the amount of money you have in your pocket or the safety deposit box. Poverty isn’t a lack of finances. If you can focus your attention on developing your mind and heart, the quality of your character will control how much money responds to you.
Don’t let money rule you, it’s an illusion! Even the Bible says to store your treasures in Heaven, where they truly matter. Don't be so obsessed with the love of money, and you’ll see it come to you effortlessly. Take your mind off monetary things. Instead, look towards God's purpose for your life, and everything else will follow.

Money is not a master over me! When I invest time in improving myself through God's Word, I change how money responds to me. Amen.

Penguins live in the coldest climates on Earth, enduring temperatures that reach minus sixty degrees Celsius every day. The feathers are built perfectly for harsh weather conditions and extra layers of fat to retain body heat and absorb sunlight. Still, none of these tools work as effectively as the penguin huddle! When huddled together (a form of social thermoregulation), at its centre, the waddle of penguins can reach heat of up to thirty-seven degrees Celsius.
Like the penguin, as a Christian, you have been given all the power to sustain yourself in the conditions of this cold world, equipped with the Word of God to keep you warm. However, there is immense benefit in strengthening your brothers and sisters in the Lord that can exceed even the prayers you do concerning yourself. You are huddled together with friends or family who are all aligned in the same vision as you. Learn to intercede for your neighbours and brethren around the world as they pray for you.

Like penguin’s huddle to keep each other warm in the cold weather, I strengthen my brothers and sisters in the Lord through my prayers to sustain both their lives and my own, no matter the condition, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased.
God's Word empowers you to walk in the purpose He has designed for you, but the choice to enact it lies with you. The responsibility is on you to answer the call of God upon your life or not. In essence, you can kill your Godly purpose if you desire to live life contrary to the excellence God intended for you to live. For example, if you choose to live in mediocrity and are content with little, you kill every plan God had for you to be a Kingdom Financier. Remember, His vision for you is for your good and for His glory!
The verse above proves that God set you apart before you were even formed in your mother’s womb. So, when you accept the ordinary life of sickness and poverty, you are choosing not to fulfil your purpose in Christ. Choose to be a Christian who lives a life fully realised in Christ, acting upon what He has called you to be in this world!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Before I breathed my first breath, GOD CHOSE ME! I will fulfil the calling He has placed over my life in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
Lazarus’s resurrection not only shows Christ’s power but also exposes the mindset of many Christians today.
Though Lazarus’ sister Martha believed in God’s power, she cried out to Jesus that He arrived too late, four days after her brother’s death. The scriptures show that, several days prior, the sisters notified the Lord Jesus of their brother's illness, so why didn't he rush to them? Why was he late?
The answer is simple; Jesus wasn't late; He was right on time!
In Jewish tradition, someone's soul is believed to linger in the body for up to three days after death. By waiting until the fourth day, Jesus left no doubt that Lazarus was truly dead and that resurrecting him could only be by the power of God himself!
Many Christians hold grievances against God for times they think he showed up too late yet fail to account for what His larger plan may be! He is called the Extraordinary Strategist. Whatever the situation, He is bringing life and right on time!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
GOD IS RIGHT ON TIME! I serve a God who is the Extraordinary Strategist. He is bringing new life to every area of my being today! Amen.

Romans 8:28
John 15:13 (KJV)
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Today’s scripture highlights something extraordinary about our Lord Jesus, He willingly laid down His life for us. No prophet, shepherd, or rabbi ever did that. He wasn’t the first to be crucified, but He was the first to die in the place of others.
He intentionally laid down His life of His own free will. He could have easily delivered Himself from the hands of those who crucified Him. He certainly had the power, but He chose to go to the cross and die for sinners.
Everything the Lord Jesus did was because of His love for you and me. The reason He was born, lived, died, and rose again to life was that we "might have and enjoy life to the full" (John 10:10). Who on this earth has this manner of love? The answer is no one. Today, meditate on this great love God has shown mankind. Give Him thanks and glorify Him for willingly laying down His life so you can enjoy yours to the fullest.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I prophesy a life that is full. Full of joy, peace, prosperity, love and all the other great blessings that come with my salvation. I am loved by God; my heart is spoken for! Thank you, Lord! Amen.

John 3:16
Colossians 4:2 (KJV)
Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving….
Over the years in ministry, I cannot tell you how many people asked questions that stem from seemingly continued prayer without results. One gentleman went to the extent of asking me if there was a secret to fast-tracking answers to prayer. Let me explain the verse above so that you understand better.
The Greek word proskartereo, which means to press heavily towards something, to never give up, or to lean forward, continue and persevere. By using this word, Apostle Paul tells us to stay focused in prayer, press in the spirit, and never give up. In fact, he goes on to say add thanksgiving to that pressing. Why? He knew that once you have this mindset towards prayer, your victory is guaranteed!
Brothers and sisters, there will be times when some answers to prayer take longer. Especially if the prayer is what I call a “special order,” you are expected to keep pressing and anticipate an outcome even though you are in the parking bay. Don’t give up on what you’ve been praying for. Press heavily towards it and give God thanks while you’re at it – CHAINS ARE BREAKING!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall never give up on prayer. From this day, I press toward my mark in prayer like never before. Victory is a done deal. Thank You, my Lord God Almighty! Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:17
Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Let’s explore part b of today’s theme verse, how our Lord Jesus endured the cross and “despised the shame” that came with it. The word “shame” is the Greek word aischune, which means disgrace, dishonour, something despicable and so embarrassing. By using this word, Apostle Paul gives us insight into what our Saviour went through that day. Imagine being severely flogged, strung up on a cross, stripped bare for all to see. How would that make you feel? Though paintings often depict Him with a cloth around his waist, that was not the case. History shows that Roman soldiers were not big on covering the male anatomy.
Our Lord suffered extreme humiliation that day. He not only took sickness upon Himself, He took shame too, so that you don’t need to suffer it. What shame are you holding onto today? The Lord Jesus despised the shame He went through so that you don’t have to be ashamed.
Let it go!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall never be tormented by my past and its wicked hold. My Lord Jesus delivered me from shame so I could live a bondage-free life. Thank you, My Lord, I am FREE!!

Romans 10:11
1 Thessalonians 4:15 (KJV)
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
Let’s examine the word “alive” in today’s verse. The original Greek rendering is zao, which means having vital power, efficient, full of vigour, etc. So, it’s not just talking about you being alive, as in not dead. It's a deeper kind of aliveness. It gives us a clue as to how rapture-ready Christians ought to be.
You see, you ought to be vibrant in your walk with The Lord, fresh and strong, full of life and excited about it. It’s the Christian who is efficient in Kingdom matters that shall go by way of rapture, not the one who blends with the wallpaper in church.
So, you must ask yourself the question, “How vibrant and effective is my Christianity?” Church attendance is easy, anyone can do that. But taking what you have learnt to the highways and byways, applying it to those around you, moving with power and efficiency, serving with vigour and excitement with zero complacency is what sets you apart, ready for the rapture.
Just how ready are you?
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
From this day, I shall walk my faith journey full of vigour, excitement and effectiveness. Christ in me shall be so evident that when people see me, they see Him! Hallelujah!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance….
As an ambassador of Heaven filled with God’s Spirit, you can expect the divine fruits mentioned in today’s verse to be produced in your life. Today, I’d like us to pay special attention to the fruit called temperance. The word “temperance” is egkrateia, which means in power, in control and pictures a person who is fully in command of their will, urges, and emotions. In other words, a person who knows how to ‘hold themselves from within.’ This is the idea of self-control and discipline.
I’ve met people who struggle with self-control in many areas, including their finances. Some use credit cards to purchase items they can’t afford, succumbing to their flesh, which has an insatiable desire to spend. I always say if you can't buy it twice, don't buy it at all. There are Christians in a rut today because they didn't practice temperance. The Holy Spirit is ever present to help you bear this fruit in abundance. Allow Him to guide you as you learn to bring discipline and self-control to every area of your life from today.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Discipline and self-control are a part of my DNA as I am born of The Spirit of God. I shall never spiral out of control in any area of my life as temperance grows each day in me, in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Proverbs 25:28
Luke 22:43 (KJV)
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Today’s verse is from the night of The Lord Jesus' betrayal, the same night He asked for the cup to be removed from Him and asked His closest disciples, Peter, James, and John, to pray with Him in His final hours.
Just imagine that with the extreme pressure He felt that day, each time he came back to check on the three men He'd asked to come and assist Him in praying, He'd find them fast asleep! Talk about discouragement!
How many are feeling the lack of support they desperately need right now? Our Lord Jesus was there before! When He could find no one to stand with Him in His hour of need, God provided supernatural assistance! The scripture says He was strengthened by an angel. He had renewed vitality, which made up for the lack of support from His three closest disciples.
You might be feeling exhausted and depleted, but there is a blast of energy so strong that the angels are bringing it to you now. Anticipate supernatural strength in everything you do today. Armed with this strength, nothing can stand in your way!

Philippians 4:13
Psalm 103:7 (KJV)
He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.
The Children of Israel in the wilderness got accustomed to the acts of God. They ate manna provided as food for them. They saw the Red Sea parted by God, their clothes did not fade nor tear, and their shoe sizes enlarged as they grew. In fact, they grew with their clothes! God provided quails from the sea for meat and water from a rock to quench their thirst. They lived amidst constant miracles, signs, and wonders. Those were the acts of God!
The ways of God, however, have to do with intimacy with God. This intimacy is developed by spending ample time in prayer talking to your Maker, worshipping in spirit and truth, and allowing God to speak back to you. It’s about knowing the God you serve personally, not just witnessing His miracles. This relationship grows as you read His Word daily and listen for His voice. Make a conscious decision to spend time with God, and He will reveal Himself to you more and more in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

Luke 5:20 (KJV)
And when He saw their faith, He said unto Him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Faith can be seen. Rigorous, uncompromising faith is visible. How can your faith be seen? By acting on it. Faith without action is dead, so you must act on what you believe. Faith does not doubt God’s Word. Sometimes, you must wrestle with the Word as Jacob did. He was persistent and unmovable, clinging to the Word until he was blessed because of his audacity. Despite the pain, discouragement, and toiling all night, Jacob held on tight until his name and destiny changed.
The question today is: can God see your faith? Timothy went to war with the prophecy spoken over his life. In this Year of the Chainbreaker, prophetic words have been released over your life. Are you warring with those words to see them come to pass in your family, business, and ministry? Remember, the economy of grace doesn’t make sense; it makes faith. Receive your miracle today in Jesus’ Name!

Instead, they were innovative and made a new entry point through the rooftop! Let me encourage you today—your miracle has already been programmed. In fact, it left God’s hands a long time ago!
No matter the obstacles blocking your visa, contract, or promotion, it shall come in no time. If they think they have closed the front door, the back door, or the window, your entry point to greatness will come through uncommon access. Your miracle will find another way to reach you, so do not worry about the how. God is making a way where there seems to be no way. Yours will come through an emergency entry from above to reach you in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He delighteth in His way
.
The scripture tells us that a good man’s steps are ordered by the Lord. The word ‘order’ in the original Hebrew rendering is kuwn, meaning to erect firmly, to command, to fasten, to fix, to cause, to render to perfect, to ordain, to make provision for, to establish. This helps us understand that when God gives you the vision, He also gives provision. He makes you to be prosperous in the vision given to you without fail.
If there is no provision for your vision, then there must be a revision of your vision. The vision given by the Lord will be perfected by the Lord, which is one of the definitions above. Another definition of ‘order’ is to make proper or prosperous. So do not lose heart. The Lord who gave you the vision has no capacity to fail. He is a destiny changer. Get set in this Year of the Chainbreaker. Your time of congratulations is about to manifest. Praise the Lord!

From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.
There was a time when Israel went to war. The mighty men of valour arrayed themselves on the battlefield, and the combat was raging on planet Earth. The scripture for today tells us that the stars and the river Kishon fought for Israel. No wonder David was bitterly upset in 2 Samuel 1:21, rebuking the mountain that it would be denied dew for not fighting for Israel at that time, leading to Israel’s defeat.
People of the dark understand this, yet Christians do not understand that you can speak to mountains, to rivers, to your bank account, to your bank card, to the soil where you have planted your crops. It is about time that you start speaking to the elements around you. Do not be quiet; start speaking to everything around you about the results you want to see. In this Year of the Chainbreaker, your money will respond to your commands. Begin to call money to reflect in your bank account. It is your year to attract good news everywhere!

Nobody fears you because your Christianity is too shallow! A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. I am here to raise lions! The Word of God says we are kings and priests, not queens! A priest of the home girds himself and tells sleep to wait whilst He deals with the devil at night when he is busy.

I always tell people to be a terror and celebrity in the realm of the spirit. As you are on your way to breaking the generational curses that have plagued your family, don’t be surprised if your own family mocks and despises you. It’s the nature of family to scorn their deliverer. Notice, even Jesus was rejected by His own clan!
You see, it is in the nature of family to ridicule you because their proximity to the anointing has clouded their thinking. Family is too familiar, so they often fail to recognize the spiritual easily and sometimes miss out. You have the responsibility to pray for your family and loved ones. Pray that they come to the knowledge of the truth and partake of the manifold blessings of God upon your life in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

Romans 5:1
Matthew 6:24 (NLT)
No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
The subject of money is very delicate and sensitive to many in the Body of Christ. Many would suggest that the mention of money should not even be heard or conspicuously spoken. Others feel that when you talk about money, you are preaching a prosperity message; no, we are simply Christians who are prospering. We are living a prophetic revelation, an apokalypsis, meaning a removal of the scales from the eyes to know the truth of God’s grace.
The real issue is the fear of money. You can never release more than what you fear. My encouragement to you is don’t fear money! There is a spirit behind money, but when you conquer that fear, you gain authority over the spirit controlling it. Once the fear factor is removed, your dominance over money will come into force. For the rest of this Year of the Chainbreaker, money shall be subject to you in your business and finances!

I dominate money, and the fear of money is far from me. I shall live a life of prosperity and good health as taught by the Word of God. I shall lend and not borrow in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
The scripture for today is a classic example of partnership in action. Notice the conversation was between Peter and Jesus. In order words, the rhema came to Peter, and He obeyed, followed instructions, and there was a great catch. Then, Peter’s partners came to assist, and their boats were filled to overflowing as well. Even though these partners didn’t hear Jesus directly, they still benefited from the abundance.
In ministry, when it comes to hearing the voice of God or being given a vision, it does not matter if you were there from the beginning or not. What matters is participating when God’s move becomes evident. If it is the voice of God that has spoken, you will see tangible results.
When you see blind eyes opening, the deaf hearing, HIV going, fibroids dissolving, barrenness ending, etc., that's your signal to partner. Your partnership will make you part of something bigger on God’s agenda in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
I am fully convinced that the issue of seed and offering is often misunderstood in the Body of Christ. It can be challenging to encourage most Christians to give generously to support ministry projects, outreaches, and evangelism. Giving and seeding are big struggles for ordinary Christians—not because of a lack of money, but because of a lack of understanding and a limiting mindset.
You need to understand that your seed represents the money you release today to create the future you desire tomorrow. Giving is largely a matter of faith. When you sow into ministry, outreaches, or evangelism, you’re demonstrating trust in God’s ability to meet your needs. This faith-driven action triggers a level of provision that surpasses your expectations, escalating to abundance and all-sufficiency. You’ll reach a point where nothing is lacking and nothing is missing in your life, and no outside aid will be required—both now and in the future, in this Year of the Chainbreaker and beyond!

Titus 3:14
Haggai 2:8 (KJV)
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
The mistake many Christians make is thinking that when God speaks about giving an offering or seed, He is speaking to their human limitations. Instead, He is speaking to the God within them. You happen to be the channel of communication by which God speaks to Himself inside you. The issue arises when you respond from a mindset of lack rather than allowing the God inside of you to respond.
God knows He resides in you with all the glory and riches of His majesty, and He can produce the offering He requests. However, when you interfere and respond based on perceived limitations and lack, but when you interfere and act, you restrict God’s ability to multiply your offering or seed in abundance. God knows you are rich. That’s your identity in Christ, so act like it. When He speaks, allow the God in you to respond, and watch abundance manifest.

I carry God’s DNA; I have a rich inheritance. I am who God says I am. I refuse to be broke another day in this Year of the Chainbreaker, in Jesus’ mighty Name! Amen.

1 Chronicles 29:16
Leviticus 16:8 (ESV)
And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel.
In today’s verse, we see two goats presented: one was offered to God as a sacrifice, and the other was sent to “Azazel.” This second goat was not sacrificed. It was simply a carrier or a courier bearing bad news, representing the release of the sins of God’s people to be delivered to Azazel, the demon that controls the desert and is responsible for every problem on Earth.
The goat that goes to the desert to Azazel is called the “scapegoat”, meaning it took the sins of the congregation immediately when it was offered by the high priest. Our Lord Jesus Christ became our ultimate scapegoat who bore our sins on the cross. The moment you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your sins were forgiven. You are now free from the guilt of the past. Live in the newness of Christ’s redemption which has set you free, and take hold of the benefits of being a child of God. Praise the Lord!

God’s power is limited to the confines of His Word. This simply means God will not do anything outside of His Word. The scope of God’s intervention in your life—whether in your business, family, finances, or health—is determined by how you apply His Word. It is important for you to understand that God specifically said that the Word that proceeds out of His mouth will not return to Him empty but accomplish the purpose for which He sent it.
How often and consistently are you speaking God’s Word over your life? The Bible says, “I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers” (3 John 2). Claim every promise you see in God’s Word, and speak it over your children, your health, and your business. God expects you to walk in divine health. If your health is failing, speak God’s Word and you shall see health return to you in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Today’s scripture reminds us that before we even pray, God has already answered. Whilst we are still speaking, He is at work. God knows what you will pray for before you utter it. He already knows you need your tuition. He is already zooming in on that marriage before you laid that payer request at the altar. God sees you in that state of constant worry because of diabetes and blood pressure. Yet He still says pray!
Many Christians struggle with prayer, but from the beginning, God declared, “Let them have dominion” (Genesis 1:26), giving mankind full authority to rule the earth and dominate. The “them” there includes you. So, for God to do anything on planet Earth, He needs your permission, which is granted through prayer. When you neglect prayer, you withhold access to God to deal with your problem. Now you understand how vital it is to pray without ceasing. Your prayers release God’s power into your life!

Nothing and no one will stop me from praying. I grant God access to challenge my challenges and set me free. My prayers carry divine authority, and I shall see breakthroughs in Jesus’ mighty name! Amen.

Psalm 91:15
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT)
Never stop praying.
It’s crucial to understand why a Christian prays. Prayer must be done with understanding, especially when a specific prayer point is raised. We know that God is omnipresent—meaning He is everywhere. So then why do we pray if God is everywhere?
Ephesians 4:10 tells us that when Jesus rose from the dead, He ascended far above the heavens to fill all things. This confirms God’s omnipresence. Yet, prayer isn’t just about acknowledging God’s presence; it’s about inviting His power to work in our lives intentionally.
A person of prayer is a person of change—someone who truly understands the power of prayer. The Bible tells us we are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us. This means we are called to go beyond being mere “prayer warriors.” The purpose of prayer is to give God license to intervene in your situation.
When you pray, you give God permission to act on your case. In moments of broken relationships, strained marriages, or even childlessness, don’t hold back. Don’t grow weary. Pray with fervency and expectation. Watch as God moves in His majesty and acts on your behalf in this Year of the Chainbreaker.

For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in His heart, but shall believe that those things which He saith shall come to pass; He shall have whatsoever He saith.
Did you notice the specificity of the statement uttered by Jesus? Most Christians get locked on the “whatsoever” without paying keen attention to “this mountain.” In the process of prayer or the art of prayer, being specific in your prayer request is key to receiving your answer.
What is that specific “mountain” that you so desire to see changed to transform your destiny? The specific thing you need to alter and change your life story should be your prayer target.
Today, there might be several things you want to accomplish, several goals you are aiming at, but the verse for today says do not cloud your mind when you pray. Your prayer list should prioritise that one thing that you want to see done now, and as you pray with laser focus on that one thing, it shall be done by your Father in Heaven!

And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
In Ezekiel 37, the prophet is taken to a valley filled with dry bones—symbolic of hopelessness and lifelessness. God asks a profound question, "Can these bones live?" Ezekiel wisely responds, "O Lord God, thou knowest." God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, and as he speaks, a miraculous transformation occurs. The bones come together, flesh covers them, and the breath of God revives them into a mighty army.
In this Year of the Chainbreaker, no situation is too far gone for God. What seems lifeless—be it your health, finances, relationships, or dreams—can be restored by the Word of God and the breath of His Spirit. As you align with His Word and speak life into your circumstances, miracles are set in motion.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare, no situation in my life is beyond God's power. I prophesy life into every dry and lifeless area of my existence. By faith, I see restoration, healing, and abundance coming to me. The breath of God fills me, reviving my dreams, renewing my strength, and transforming my life. I rise this year, a living testimony of God's miraculous power. These dry bones shall live, in Jesus' mighty Name! Amen.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…
When God created man, He created him to look (image) and function (likeness) like Him. So when Adam was created, he looked like God and also functioned like God. This is seen when God formed animals out of the ground and brought them to Adam for him to call them to life, and they became alive!
That creative ability resides in you today as you were born again of the Spirit of God. That's why the Bible says I have said that you are gods! You have the ability to bring about into existence anything you desire according to your measure of faith.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I was created to function like God—made in His image and likeness with His creative power alive in me. Just as Adam called life into being, I speak life by the authority of the Spirit. By faith, I bring the unseen into existence. I decree and declare that nothing is beyond my reach this year. I rise in faith and create my world today! Amen.

Hebrews 4:17
Romans 8:1 (KJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus! That's something to shout about! You see, when the Lord Jesus Christ died for us on that cross, He paid for ALL sin—past, present and future. It was done, dealt with there and then.
God has no sin problem with you; it is your sin consciousness which keeps you in bondage. The enemy’s job is to keep reminding you of your faults and mistakes, leading you to self-condemnation and wrong thinking that God is mad at you when He is mad about you!
Today, awaken to the reality that there is no condemnation to you who is in Christ and walking after the Spirit. That’s why it is important to stay in the Word and leave no room for the devil’s whispers.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the justified of God. I am blessing-conscious and free from any form of condemnation in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Matthew 14:29 (KJV)
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Apostle Peter painted a very clear picture of what many people go through in life. Seeing the Lord Jesus walking on water and bidding him to join Him conjured up enough faith to get out of the boat and start walking on water!
How many times have you been stirred up by the Word as we, as ministers of the Gospel, break it down, and you felt so empowered to get out there and spring into action? You might have even sown a seed as well. Monday, you start putting your plan into action, but come Tuesday, a little wind blows against you, and immediately you unravel. All that you had received and got fired up with goes out the window. You are already crying and complaining about why it always happens to you.
Today, gird yourself up. Keep your eyes on the prize, knowing that whatever you focus on will be your destination. Ignore the noise around you and stay the course in the Name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am laser-focused on the prize as I stay the course. No distractions will make me lose focus in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
We are not ignorant of the devil's devices. We know he’s full of dirty tricks and tactics, always trying to take advantage of where we lack information.
The Bible gives us a heads-up and tells us to put on the whole armour, not part of it, but the whole armour. It is important to equip ourselves with the Word because in it is our defence and offence! If you do not put on the whole armour, then you’re partially exposed and will get taken advantage of like Eve.
Always make it a point to take time to study the Word and pray also because if you have the Word alone, you will blow up, if you have the Spirit alone, you will dry up, but if you have the Word and the Spirit, you will grow up and stand against the wiles of the devil.

Since the fall of Adam, man became spiritually dead and plagued with all manner of afflictions. But then came our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to restore us to that former glory with the Father.
As you have received Him, you were translated from the kingdom of darkness into His glorious Kingdom of Light. The word ‘salvation’ is the word sozo, which means nothing missing, nothing broken. So, the salvation you have received means nothing should be missing and nothing broken in your life.
There is the salvation of your soul, which you received unto eternal life. There is also the salvation of your health, your prosperity and everything else about your life, which ought to be realised and appropriated so that you walk in the more abundant life as the Lord Jesus declared it.

You’ve been born again, been spirit-filled, been anointed, and perhaps even received a prophetic word, but still, things appear to not be moving in the direction you had expected. More so, things appear to have taken a turn for the worst!
Well, before you throw the dummy out of the pram, look at the life of David. He was chosen by God Himself and anointed from the horn by Samuel, the major prophet of that time, yet look at how he ran for his life as an outcast, sleeping in caves and even acting like a madman to disguise himself.
So you might be going through some turbulent times, with the money always ending before the month ends. Hang tight and keep pressing in. Look at how it turned around for King David, a man whom God said was after His heart! In this Year of the Chainbreaker, it is turning around for you, in Jesus' mighty Name!

Today, as you go about your business, do not withhold being a blessing to someone you will encounter who is in dire need of a warm smile, a kind word, a helping hand, whatever it may be. Always have the attitude of being the choice instrument that God is using to touch the lives of people in need.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Words carry so much power, both positive and negative, so much to the point that the Bible tells us life and death are subject to the tongue. That is why putting a premium on your words is so important. As a born-again Christian, you have been made a king and a priest... even a god! As the Bible says, “ye are gods" (Psalms 82:6; John 10:34).
This makes you even more dangerous than any non-believer because, as a king, your words are a decree which becomes law; as a priest, you speak for your household; as a god… your words have a very potent creative ability and very lethal destructive ability. So it is imperative to put a premium on your words, and create the world you desire to live in and build up those around you.

The devil is persistent in his mission to bring you down. He will push and push to see what he can get away with in your life and when he succeeds in one area, he will keep going for another for as long as you allow him.
Goliath taunted the army of Israel to the extent that Saul and his army were fearful and would not go against him in battle until a young shepherd boy stood up and took charge of the situation. As you read in the scripture above, he began to declare exactly what he was going to do and why.

Today, I want you to realise the power you wield through prayer and how to channel it so that you see the manifestation of your prayers. When you pray in tongues, you edify yourself; like a generator, you generate power. But that power has to be channelled to where it is required to take effect, just like a power generator has to have cables connected to the appliances that need the electricity. Similarly, the power you generate must be channelled to the thing you are praying for. Your thoughts must be focused on it, and you must visualize and see the answer. As you speak, your words are containers carrying the power to the thing you are praying for. Keep pushing until you get a note of victory!

Notice that it is a singular blessing that contains everything you need in life. It compels you to be rich. The kind of prosperity without any stress, pain or suffering. This is the kind of life God wants you to have.
He says, "Labour not to be rich, cease from your own wisdom” (Proverbs 23:4). Focus on the blessing. As a child of God, your life must be a life of abundance. So, awaken to this reality of who you are now and what has been bestowed upon you. Be blessing-conscious and take advantage of the promises of God. You are the rich in Christ discovering your riches. Do not let the enemy whisper anything different to your ear.

When you pray, your prayers are collected into golden vials, which are presented as a sweet-smelling savor before God. Visualize it as you pray, see your prayers coming before God as a sweet aroma pleasing to God. Your prayers are well pleasing to God!
There is then no way that God would receive and enjoy your prayers and then leave you without a resolution. The Bible says that this is the confidence that we have, that when we pray, God hears us. And because He hears, we have our petitions granted, hallelujah! So, as you pray, know that you are making literal deposits which are being collected in Heaven as a sweet-smelling odour before God.

Sometimes, you need to get into an incubation mode as you brood upon the desired outcome on a matter until you get that note of victory in your spirit!
Realise today the power you have through prayer and start utilizing it accordingly to bring about change in your life and in the lives of other people. Spend quality time in prayer, even like Elijah who put his head between his knees until he got the desired outcome.

Regardless of contrary thoughts, beliefs and traditions, He still loves us and waits patiently for us to turn to Him. Even after we turn to Him, His mercies are renewed every morning, forgiving us of our shortcomings.
It is very important to be conscious of the love of God toward us. Be conscious of the clean slate that we have every day. This is not a license for us to live in sin, but as you are more conscious of it, you will also start to walk in that same Spirit of love. Resist the enemy for he will have you stay in the realm of sin consciousness and self-condemnation.

You see, when you speak, your words are not the power, but they are vessels which carry power. That power comes from a place of prayer, a place of meditation. Just as you would see the Lord Jesus coming from the mountain and commanding demons to flee, from today, as you consistently bank prayer, be conscious of your speech, as your words will carry the power to effect change in any situation.

Ascend to that higher life of prosperity and dominate in the Name of Jesus.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

Now, that’s a lot summarised there, but the fact remains. In Christ, we have everything we need that pertains to this life. Even the natural life of our Lord Jesus set an example of an extravagant life as He rode the expensive mode of transport for that time, He wore designer clothing, which the Roman soldiers desired, and He had enough money to feed a multitude of over 5000 men… the list is endless!

A broody hen sits on its eggs to incubate them until they hatch. During that period, it is very defensive and protective of those eggs. Inside the egg, the yolk develops into a chick ready to hatch in due time.
In a similar manner, when you enter into your prayer room, you enter a period of incubation for your development. That’s why I always say prayer is not for informing God, but it is for your formation. It is a delicate time where you are being formed as you fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and when you have matured, you get that note of victory and hatch out of that predicament you had found yourself in!

Listen carefully to what He says. Do everything I say. Then I will be an enemy to your enemies. I will fight against those who fight against you.
Last year, in a highly anticipated boxing match, Jake Paul systematically dismantled once undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's legendary reputation. Tyson, who once struck fear into the hearts of opponents as the most intimidating boxer on the planet, was outmanoeuvred. The unanimous decision marked Tyson’s defeat as a bitter epitaph to his earlier bravado. Likewise, any enemy that challenged you will soon face their own day of reckoning.
The biggest mistake your enemy can make is thinking they've gotten away. Because God may delay His vengeance, they assume they've escaped. But God has His own scales of justice. Just as rain pours from full clouds, He will surely rain down judgment on your enemies. God has all the time in the world to set His traps, and He cannot be outmanoeuvred.
God has no enemies; He’s far too great for that! Yet He promises in His Word that your enemies become His enemies. Don’t waste your energy on detractors. God will fight for you, and the outcome will be unanimous: you win!

By God’s grace, our ministry has grown to over 3.2 million members, but it didn’t start at this level. There were struggles, challenges, and moments where faith was all we had. But it was an unshakeable faith—a faith that says, 'I know my God will not fail me!'
Jeremiah knew the pain of feeling let down, even deceived, by God’s promises. Yet he carried a fire that kept him going. When everyone around you mocks or misunderstands you, or when your own family opposes you, it’s the fire of God that sustains you. Even when your parents, siblings, or closest friends seem to turn against you, your faith must remain unmovable.
Unshakeable faith isn’t just about having power to perform miracles; it’s about the power to stay,endure, and hold your ground when everything seems to be falling apart.

James 1:2
Hebrews 13:4 (PHILLIPS)
Both honourable marriage and chastity should be respected by all of you. God himself will judge those who traffic in the bodies of others or defile the relationship of marriage…
Marriage often gets a bad rap, with some people referring to it as a "ball and chain," suggesting matrimony is more imprisonment than partnership. However, contrary to this tired stereotype, research actually shows that married men are happier and live longer. Interestingly, the same doesn't always hold true for women. One key might lie in a simple, scientific intervention: the six-second kiss.
A kiss can strengthen the bond between a married couple, conveying feelings that words sometimes cannot express. Kissing has biological implications as well. When a couple kisses, their brains release chemicals such as oxytocin (the "love hormone"), dopamine (associated with pleasure), and serotonin (which affects mood). These chemicals can enhance feelings of attachment and happiness.
While that might sound like relationship folklore, a brief, intentional kiss can potentially transform that perceived "ball and chain" into a genuine connection. So, instead of joking about being "trapped," invest in a meaningful, six-second kiss for your spouse today. It could be the difference between feeling confined and feeling connected.

I decree and declare my marriage is a blessing, not a burden. I honour my spouse, and God’s favour rests upon my marriage. I speak joy, peace, and genuine affection over my marriage in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ.
I’ve told the story of how God had an appointment with Jesse Duplantis, the Apostle of Joy. It was late at night, around 3 a.m., when God entered Jesse’s room and called out to him, “Jesse, wake up!” Jesse opened his eyes, still half-asleep, and with his characteristic humour, he replied, “God, I’m sleeping. Why didn’t You come at 10?” God responded, “Because you were too busy watching a movie.”
Imagine that! God had planned to visit Jesse earlier in the evening, but the noise and distraction of television delayed his encounter. In this simple yet profound exchange, we’re reminded how easy it is to miss divine moments when our attention is consumed by worldly entertainment. It’s a call to all of us to make room for God and to prioritize His presence over the distractions that vie for our time and focus.
In this Year of the Chainbreaker, be sensitive to God and make room for His presence. Prayer will sensitize you to His promptings and timing. Just as we prioritize important things in life, our commitment to seeking God must take precedence.

Proverbs 12:24 (ERV)
[The diligent] will be put in charge of others, but lazy people will have to work like slaves.
The Bible paints a vivid picture of the sneaky enemy called laziness. At first, it might feel good to hit that snooze button or put off your responsibilities, but before you know it, you're caught in a cycle of "a little sleep, a little slumber" that leads to poverty pouncing on you "like a robber."
Laziness leaves one enslaved to debt, frustration, and failure. Dreams and potential wither away, and suddenly, they find themselves trapped in a life they never intended. The message is clear: laziness is a pathway to bondage.
Poverty is allergic to hard work, and by “hard” work, I mean smart work. Hard work often leads to exhaustion without necessarily achieving the best results. On the other hand, smart work involves using the right tools and strategies to accomplish tasks more efficiently and effectively. Smart work emphasizes planning, prioritizing, and leveraging resources, allowing you to achieve more with less effort. Work smart and you will rule this year!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse to die broke! I reject the spirit of laziness and choose to work smart. As I pray, my strategies are of God. By His wisdom, I plan, prioritize, and leverage resources efficiently.

Romans 12:11 (VOICE)
Let your spirit be on fire, bubbling up and boiling over, as you serve the Lord.
Fire is a relentless force that tests everything it touches, revealing the true nature of materials. Metals are forged and strengthened through by fire, but when fire dances upon wood, it transforms into ash, a testament to its vulnerability. Fire not only consumes but also burns away impurities—everything that is false—leaving behind what is pure. You can’t fool fire.
A life without fire makes one susceptible to false teachings and spiritual deception. Among the most vulnerable are lukewarm Christians, those who have the appearance of being faithful but lack spiritual power. Fire gives warmth, but it’s never warm; it is either burning hot or non-existent.
God desires His people to be vessels of fire, not just fair-looking believers without substance. When you’re full of fire, no man can deceive you. Let your spirit be on fire daily. Increase your fire through prayer. Move beyond superficial Christianity to a life full of power and fire, and every deception will be burned to ashes!

I decree and declare that in this Year of the Chainbreaker, I will not be a furnace without fire. As I set my life on fire daily through prayer, everything lie is being purged. My life will burn with the power of God, evident to everyone around me, in the mighty Name of Jesus!

Song of Solomon 6:3 (NCB)
I belong to my Beloved, and my Beloved is mine.
Do you remember your first love? That whirlwind of emotion sweeps you off your feet and transports you to a world where everything feels vibrant and alive. It’s that exhilarating rush of butterflies in your stomach, the heart racing at the slightest touch, and the promise of endless possibilities in every smile. That is the kind of intimacy God longs to have with you. And it’s possible.
Today’s culture has embraced an “inclusive mentality” that often replaces monogamy with promiscuity and perversion. They have abandoned deeper spiritual and emotional connection in favour of superficial one-night stands marked by selfishness rather than the selfless giving of true love.
You can develop a deep, personal relationship with the Creator of the universe. That's what intimacy with God is all about. Start by setting aside dedicated time. Talk to Him openly, sharing your joys, fears, and dreams—and remember to listen. Express your love through worship and obedience. As you do this, you’ll grow closer, experience His presence in new ways, and discover the inexplicable joy of true intimacy with your Creator.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is spoken for. I return to my first Love, pursuing a deep, intimate relationship with God. Today and every day, I dedicate time to spend with the Lord. I belong to God, and He belongs to me. Amen.

Revelation 2:4-5
Psalm 55:17 (KJV)
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Imagine giving your body a mini vacation every day - that's what fasting does! It's like hitting the reset button on your system. You're not just shedding pounds; you're giving your body a tune-up. Your cells start getting rid of the junk that's been piling up, making it easier for your body to burn excess fat. Your brain gets sharper, and it even helps you live longer! Just as fasting renews your body, prayer renews your fire!
The life of a Christian should be marked by daily, continuous prayer. Every prayer session is a spiritual detox, removing the residue of the world and sharpening your spirit. Prayer isn’t merely communication but a congealing of fire. You are imbued with power to shed any weight or sin that tries to beset you.
Just as Jesus prayed daily, setting times to pray throughout the day keeps the fire on your altar burning. This fire sustains you and gives you longevity. When you’re full of fire, no fetters can bind you! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am free from spiritual oppression. Because I carry the fire of God, no demon can inhabit my space! Every morning, I lay the pieces of my life on the altar. The fire within me will overcome every attack; no evil can consume me because I am fire-full! Amen.

Mark 7:13 (NKJV)
Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down.
Many sincerely believe there is nothing more powerful than the Word of God, but they are sincerely wrong. The Bible tells us plainly that tradition has the power to render the Word ineffective—useless. Tradition is frozen success, and frozen success is rigid, implacable, and keeps you chained to the past.
Loyalty to man’s ways can make you miss God. Loyalty to your culture, tribe, or race can nullify your benefits as a citizen of Zion. When faced with a choice between familiar traditions and what God is doing now, always go with God. Let His Word override your traditions. It might feel uncomfortable or inconvenient, but it keeps you on the right side of prophecy.
God exists in one eternal now. Intimacy with Him ensures you won’t remain stuck where God used to be. He shares His secrets with those who have learned to romance His heart. This Year of the Chainbreaker, prioritize time with Him so you never miss what He is doing now.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Every tradition that kept me bound and made the Word of God ineffective in my life is broken! God is doing a new thing in me; my hunger for Him is increasing daily. Rivers of prosperity are flowing where barrenness used to be. What was lost is being restored in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Isaiah 43:19
1 Corinthians 14:10 (LSB)
There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of sounds in the world, and none is without meaning.
Music is more than mere entertainment. The type of music you listen to can shape how you perceive the world. Sometimes, the effects are so subtle you don’t even notice them. For instance, your heartbeat changes to mimic the music that you listen to.
Ever had a song stuck in your head? That “earworm” or "musical itch" occurs when you listen to a song repeatedly—your brain prioritizes the sound, forcing your mind to loop it. Music even triggers the release of dopamine, the "pleasure chemical." This explains why music can become addictive. Music controls you.
Never think, “Oh, it’s just a song.” Every sound has meaning and produces an effect on your body, mind, and spirit. Lyrics are declarations you make as you sing. Furthermore, sounds summon spirits.
Evaluate the music you listen to. To whose control are you submitting—God's or the devil's? The Bible tells us to submit our bodily members to God. Your ears and your hearing belong to Him. So, choose music that God’s ears want to listen to.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I close every access point the enemy gained through my ear gate. I break every chain the devil has used to bind me through ungodly music. I consecrate my ears, hearing and listening to Him. I’m free in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

John 10:10 (NKJV)
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…
Sickness is one of the worst forms of bondage. It dictates your actions, limits your freedom, and forces you to obey its demands. It seizes control, affecting every decision you make. It’s a cruel taskmaster, and the devil cracks the whip!
Your body was never designed to get sick. The moment a foreign threat invades, your body immediately launches an aggressive attack to destroy anything trying to harm it. God Himself placed self-healing agents in your body to repair damage without your conscious effort. Above all, He placed life in you—the Zoé life, life as God has it.
Even minor ailments, when tolerated, can give the devil a foothold to steal, kill, and destroy your health. Never take ownership of any abnormality in your body. Refuse to say “my” diabetes, “my” high blood pressure, or “my” allergies. Instead, declare perfect health over your body—that’s God’s will for you, made possible through Christ’s life in you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
In the mighty Name of Jesus, I declare this is my Year of the Chainbreaker! I refuse to allow sickness, disease, or infirmity to take hold of my body. The life of God in me is vitalizing and invigorating every fibre of my being by the Spirit of God! Every cell in my body is well and whole, and I walk in perfect health. Amen.

Psalm 114:3 (MSG)
Sea took one look and ran the other way…
When the Children of Israel came out of Egypt, they weren’t alone. They moved with the presence of God—a Pillar of Fire and Cloud that accompanied them, creating an atmosphere of God’s power. In Exodus 14:24-25, we see how God looked down through the pillar and troubled the Egyptian army, causing their chariot wheels to fall off. The Egyptians panicked, saying, “Let us flee … for the Lord fights for them!” The enemy knew they were no match for God.
Our scripture for today declares the “sea took one look and ran the other way.” Just as the sea made way for God’s people, your enemies—whether sickness, financial struggles, or anything that stands in your way—will also flee because God is with you.
Imagine your poverty taking one look at God’s presence and running away. Picture disease trembling and retreating, knowing it cannot win. Whatever problem you face today, know this: God is with you. This year, enemy will take one look and run the other way!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare every obstacle flees at my command. Every disease, begin to look away now! Just as the sea looked and fled, poverty and failure are running away from me in the mighty Name of Jesus! Every enemy is panicking because God is with me, and every problem must bow in His presence!

Psalm 68:1 (NKJV)
Let God arise…
God is not into mediocrity. He has put His own faith in us so that when He speaks, we can respond with the same faith He uses. However, many Christians mistakenly believe that when God speaks, He’s talking to them and filter His Word through their own perceived human limitations. In reality, He’s addressing the God in them.
When He calls you to win nations, He’s not talking to your natural self. When He tells you to finance an entire economy or build a global ministry, He’s not speaking to your human abilities. He’s speaking to the God in you. Any instruction that seems impossible for man to accomplish is possible with God.
The Bible says, “The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.” (Proverbs 16:1, ESV). When He speaks to you, before you respond, check to see if your answer is what He would speak. Let His greatness within you rise and use His faith to fulfil the extraordinary.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Let God arise in me! I reject mediocrity and small thinking, for I carry the limitless power of God within. When He calls me to impact nations or finance economies, I respond with the God-kind of faith. I am not bound by human limitations. I accomplish the extraordinary. I speak to the greatness inside me and command it to rise! Amen.

Acts 26:17 (MEV)
I will deliver you from your people…
The Bible says a person’s enemies can come from their own household. So don’t be surprised when a Judas rises from among your relatives. The psalmist lamented, “If my enemy was insulting me, I could handle it. If someone who hated me was attacking me, I could avoid them. But it was you—my equal, my companion, someone I trusted” (Psalm 55:12-13).
It’s painful when betrayal comes from someone close—a family member, a friend, or someone you thought had your back. God knows this kind of pain. Jesus was betrayed by one of His own disciples, Judas, and still, He fulfilled His purpose.
God will deliver you even from those closest to you who become your enemies. So, don’t be shaken when betrayal strikes. Instead, love them knowing God will rescue you. Your destiny isn’t determined by those who rise against you but by the One who stands with you. Trust our Deliverer, and He will turn every act of betrayal into a setup for your victory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare that betrayal will not shake me or disrupt my destiny. No attack from those close to me can stop God’s plan for my life. Love is my weapon, and the Lord rescues me from every hidden enemy. In the mighty Name of Jesus, every act of betrayal is a stepping stone for my victory. Hallelujah!

Romans 12:20
1 Chronicles 4:9 (NKJV)
…His mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
Over an average lifespan of eighty years, you could hear your name called around 292,000 times. Someone said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” But what if your name, instead of bringing joy, acts like a curse because of its meaning?
Names hold power. When Jesus was named, the angel declared, “You shall call His name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Your name is a prophetic declaration spoken over you from birth—either for good or for harm. Take Jabez, for example. His mother named him “Sorrow” based on her pain, and it affected his life until he prayed for a change (1 Chronicles 4:10).
Discover the meaning of your name; reflect on how it has shaped your life. If your name's meaning works against you, take authority in prayer—and legally—to change its effect. Speak a new prophetic word over yourself and refuse to live under a name that limits your God-given purpose.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am detached from every negative chain in my genealogy. I refuse to be a normal person. In the Name of Jesus, I loose every chain that the devil used to connect me to himself. I decree and declare any ancestral link to poverty, destruction or mediocrity is broken now! Hallelujah! Amen.

You are My battle-ax and weapons of war…
Real Christianity, at its weakest level, looks like witchcraft. That may shock you, but it is true. The Christianity many have believed is a poor imitation of the real thing. The moment you begin to pray, you congeal fire. This is not a poetic metaphor or abstract idea; it’s a spiritual reality. Your prayers generate supernatural power that can shake the foundations of the enemy’s camp.
Elijah understood this. He didn’t offer the prophets of Baal a motivational speech or a soft rebuke. He called down fire from Heaven (1 Kings 18:38). Philip demonstrated the power of God until a witch doctor wanted to buy it and later begged for prayer (Acts 8:9-24).
Ask yourself: What kind of Christian am I? If the Christian life you’re living doesn’t make the powers of darkness tremble, it’s time to awaken to your true identity. Refuse to be a Christian in name only. Lay your life on the altar this year and be set ablaze with fire to display God’s power.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse to live a powerless Christian life. I decree and declare that I am a weapon in the hands of the Almighty. Vengeance is locating my enemy. I speak vexation, confusion, and lack of direction to my enemy. As I pray, I congeal fire that disrupts, disarms, and destroys every work of the enemy, in Jesus’ mighty Name!

Hebrews 12:29
Ephesians 5:18 (HCSB)
Don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit.
People often wonder, Can I drink alcohol? What they are really after is permission. Yes, you can drink alcohol. God won’t dispatch an angel from Heaven to wire your mouth shut or close down every beer hall in your neighbourhood. The better question is, Should I drink alcohol?
Let me answer this way. Alcohol is a nervous system depressant. That’s why when people drink, it affects their speech, balance, vision, judgment, decision-making and thinking ability. Even if you’re not fully drunk, your entire being is influenced by just one drink.
The Bible tells us that the Holy Ghost wants to affect those very areas. Now, here’s the problem: He will not compete with another spirit. You must decide which spirit will influence you—alcohol or the Holy Spirit. Instead of giving alcohol the potential to control you, choose to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Make a daily commitment to let Him influence every part of your life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I do not give control to anything that would depress my body, mind, or spirit. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, I have the mind of Christ, and my spirit belongs to God. No spirit shall control me but the Holy Spirit. I render to God what belongs to Him, and honour Him with all of me.

Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world, standing at a staggering 8,848 meters (29,029 feet). Despite its perilous conditions, thousands of people attempt to climb it each year—all for the thrill of conquering something so immense. In fact, many of the roads we travel today were carved out of mountains and flattened to create clear paths. We are designed to conquer mountains!
Yet not all mountains are physical. Some situations look like mountains. You may be facing “mountains” in your life—whether financial struggles, broken relationships, or health crises—that feel insurmountable, but they are not beyond your control.
Jesus Himself said that if we speak to “this” mountain with faith, it will move (Mark 11:23). Notice the emphasis on “this”—be detailed when confronting your challenges. Don’t just pray vaguely; name the specific problem and declare it shall be removed. Speak boldly to the mountains in your life today. Command them to become plains.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare I am a mountain to my mountains! This year, no challenge is too great for me. I speak to every obstacle in my life. You mountain of finances, I control you! You mountain of sickness, I bulldoze through you! Every mountain in my life, I speak now: before me, you are a plain, in the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

John 8:32 (NKJV)
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Freedom isn’t automatic; it comes from knowing the truth. During the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people were declared free. Yet many remained in bondage because they hadn’t heard or didn’t believe the news. Similarly, we can be spiritually free, but unless we know and act on this truth, we will still live as captives.
There’s a difference between being "set" free and being "made" free. Imagine a bird trapped in a cage. If the cage door is opened, the bird is "set" free, but if it doesn’t understand it can fly, it’s not truly "made" free to live in that freedom. Being "made" free means having experiential knowledge and acting on the truth of the Word.
The Word mixed with faith are chain breakers. To “know” the truth, we must immerse ourselves in God’s Word and then act on it by faith. As we do, we’re not only set free but made free. Refuse to be enslaved by ignorance any longer. Get to know the Word and act on it!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse to be bound by ignorance. As I immerse myself in the truth of the Word and act in faith, every chain in my life is broken. I walk boldly in the freedom Christ has provided. I am not only set free; I am fully made free to live in victory every day! Amen.

Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV)
When the enemy comes in, like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
In Zechariah 2:8, God calls His people “the apple of His eye,” a phrase that refers to the pupil, one of the most sensitive parts of the body. The eye has a reflex that instantly protects it from any harm—blinking or watering to block and flush out anything that tries to touch it.
God acts as a shield for His people, moving swiftly to defend and protect us when the enemy threatens harm. Just as the eye can be "touched" by dust, harsh light, or injury, our lives can face spiritual attacks. But God’s declaration in Zechariah reminds us that any attack against us is taken personally by Him.
In Christ, you are God-protected, shielded even in the midst of danger. In this Year of the Chainbreaker, no weapon formed against you can prosper because God, your Defender, stands guard, always ready to block any attack.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare that I am the apple of God’s eye, protected and shielded from every attack.

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?....
Salt never ceases to be salt. However, it can lose its flavour and effectiveness when contaminated, dissolved, or exposed to the elements. Similarly, Christians can lose their spiritual impact if they become influenced by the world’s impurities or allow their faith to dissolve through neglect.
Jesus calls us the “salt of the Earth,” reminding us that our purpose is to preserve and add flavour to the world around us. But if our lives become “contaminated” by compromising values or “dissolve” through lack of faith, we lose the distinctiveness that makes us impactful.
When we embrace our role as the “salt of the Earth,” we recognize the profound influence God has given us to preserve, purify, and transform. Just as salt transforms its environment, we too are empowered to shift atmospheres, break cycles, and speak life as God’s ambassadors, carrying the essence of His Kingdom into every area of influence.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Every thought is encoded in your DNA. I’ve spoken about this at length in my book, Genetics of Words. This encoding includes thoughts from your ancestors—good and bad—which are also passed on to you and stored in your DNA, but it takes your words to unlock their power.
Doctors ask about family health history because they understand that if diseases are prevalent, someone activated them. Those doctors may not understand how unless they understand the principles of neuroscience. However, God does, and He tells us the key is your words: you live or die, rise or fall, by your words.
Though your biological family may have genetically predisposed you to sickness, failure, or lack, as a Christian, you're no longer chained to any negative programming. You have the DNA of God. By your words, you can take authority over any “inherited” limitations. Declare life, health, and good success, knowing you are programmed for abundant life!

Now, hear this. The Bible tells us that we are in Christ, which means we are in the One who has no problems. Yet, one of the biggest mistakes Christians make is waiting for someone to deliver them out of their problems. It is proof they have not yet discovered who they are in Christ.
Jesus said, when you have seen Me, you have seen God. You can say the same. You are not the one waiting for a deliverer; you are the deliverer. Elisha recognized that he was a solutions carrier. You also carry solutions. You speak as an oracle—a mouthpiece—of God. Anything that dares to raise its head in your presence as a problem, command it out and speak the solution!

Jesus Himself understood this. Even though He spoke the day into existence, He knew that you cannot enter into a day where you have not invested fire. He rose early, before the sun broke the horizon, to congeal fire for the day ahead. If the One who created days needed to prepare them with fire, how much more do we?
Here’s the reality: not every problem requires the same level of fire. Just as investors understand that different markets require different strategies, we must recognize that some problems require a greater investment of fire.
Are you a billionaire in fire, or are your fire reserves bankrupt? Have you invested enough fire to meet the challenges in your family, your career, or your health? Don’t step into your day unprepared. Whatever the problem, the answer is fire!

Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
Some Christians are easily swayed by sayings that appeal to their humanity rather than their divinity. Many focus on scriptures, especially from the Old Testament, without realizing that, as Christians, our code of conduct is governed by New Testament principles of grace. When I say “New Testament,” I’m not referring to the printed division before Matthew in physical Bibles. Hebrews 9:16-17 explains that the New Testament began with Christ’s death.
Consider a common phrase many Christians borrow from the Old Testament: “A righteous [person] falls seven times and rises again.” While this holds truth, it’s a lesser revelation for New Testament Christians. Jude tells us that God is able to keep us from falling. Embrace this higher truth—believe God is powerful enough to keep you from stumbling into sin. Stand firm today and declare, “I am not falling!”

But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

You might have been in the world, or you are receiving Christ right now—there is no more room for the residue of Egypt. You are being metamorphosed—transformed into the life of Jesus.
In Jesus Christ, you are definitely a new creature. Your past sins and errors have no place at all. The old you sinned, and that one is long gone. No more Egyptian mud will follow you into Canaan. Sickness and poverty have no room in your new life in Jesus. As we close this month and enter a new one, no failure, delay, or denial will cross into the new month in Jesus' Name.

When a head of state travels to a location, that area becomes a high-security zone. Police and all security personnel will be everywhere. Entering such an environment, you immediately sense that someone influential is nearby.

When Paul attempted to enter a region controlled by the prayers of Ananias, he was struck by lightning. Your life as a child of God is a no-go zone for Satan and his cohorts.

When the president of your country is driving along the road, what causes all to freeze is knowing the identity of the one coming.

Our identity as children of God is what gives us power in the spirit to control both the spiritual and physical worlds.
The Bible confirms that the more we feed on the Word of God through scriptures and sermons, we are transformed into God’s image. We get our original identity since we were created in the image of God. There is no room for failure; you know who you are in the sight of God.

Great companies or nations are the result of great strategies. Proper strategies are the element that separates the great from the ordinary. Right now, what you need to come out of your situation is a perfect strategy. Your question is, what then is the great strategy, or where can I get the strategy?
When the Bible defines the Holy Spirit as the Wonderful Counselor, the perfect meaning is the Extraordinary Strategist; that's who the Holy Spirit is. He has all the ways to get you out of your circumstances. Pray and take time to commune with the Holy Spirit; He is your Companion in everything, and He will guide you in everything. Pray to God and consult the Holy Ghost so you get guided in everything. Victory and success are yours in the Name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Holy Spirit is my Companion; I'm properly guided all the days of my life. My business shall continue to flourish in the Name of Jesus. Success is mine, and promotion is my daily testimony. Amen.

Acts 19:15 (KJV)
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
The physical world is full of so-called "celebrities," those who are popular for different reasons. There are celebrities in the physical world, but it’s possible to be a celebrity on Earth and not be known in the spiritual realm. Look at our scripture for today—the sons of Sceva might have been popular in their church since their father was a pastor, but in the spiritual realm, they were not even known.
When the demon said, "Paul I know," the word 'know' means to be acquainted and to have experiential knowledge with someone. Paul was so popular in the spirit that even demons knew him, and they couldn't argue with him even in the physical realm. Feed on the Word of God and pray until you gain recognition in the spirit. Be a spiritual celebrity, and if you're known in the spirit, no physical force can stand before you. You become a line-crosser in the Name of Jesus.

Revelation 22:13 (KJV)
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
A basic understanding of theology will make you understand that the original languages of the Bible, read from right to left not left to right. This entails that the phrase “Alpha and omega” is actually “omega and alpha.“ The God we worship is the One who starts with the end before the beginning. The Bible actually says Christ was crucified before the foundation of the earth which means the end was completed before he was born of Mary. God completed everything about you, and you were blessed with all physical and spiritual blessings before you even appear.
The millions you are looking for were delivered already, your health is the past tense in his sight. Claim your blessings today as you make spiritual decrees and declarations. God gave you a complete package and nothing is missing or lacking in the Name of Jesus.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
When I mention power, you might think of angels and supernatural forces beyond the physical realm. But there's something more powerful than the name of God Himself—His Word. As simple as it seems, God operates according to the standards of His own Word. He doesn’t do anything outside His own Word. It’s exalted above His name, which is why when you go for the Word, you'll always come back with a testimony.
As you read this prophetic message, you are being infused with the power of God. Choose to read the Word and understand it. Grow in grace through His Word. It’s a more sure word of prophecy. I decree and declare that as you read this word, there is a shift and a turnaround in your life in the Name of Jesus.

I go for the Word, and my testimony is sure. I decree and declare that I’m set on the course that I must follow through the Word of God. Amen.

Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Millions are dying every day due to various diseases. As much as different organizations are putting resources into medical research, there is no physical cure for certain diseases. Did you know that every time you smile and are joyous, you are running away from hospitals? Most diseases are caused by stress and emotional imbalances.
Proverbs says be joyous, merry, and you create your own medication. Your body can be more easily healed by being happy than by taking dozens of drugs every day. You might have been hurt by someone, but choose joy. The person who wronged you is living rent-free in your heart and suffocating it with anger. Forgive them and choose to be happy. Smile in the midst of calamity, and your health will be restored. You shall continue in divine health.

Philippians 4:4
Matthew 14:30 (KJV)
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
The force to achieve anything is hidden in focus. When your interest is entirely on your goal, it guides your conduct, choices, and moves. Whether in ministry or anything else, focus is key. When Jesus called Peter out of the boat, the Bible confirms he started to walk on water. I don’t know what happened to the molecular density of water, but when the Master calls you, all laws will be frozen. Unfortunately, when Peter looked at the wind, he started to sink. When he focused on Jesus, he stayed afloat, but the moment he turned away and looked at the wind, he began to sink.
Do not look at the wind; focus on your goal. Don't worry about what the media or your friends say. It’s all wind. Never allow negativity to steal your focus; stay on course. Haters and distractions are there, but don’t let them move you from your focus. Go for your calling and assignment, and you shall see the mighty hand of God starting this very moment in Jesus' Name.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
When the children of Israel saw the roaring Red Sea ahead of them and the Egyptians behind them, they thought it was their end. Their situation looked hopeless and deadly. The prophet Moses cried unto God, but God wasn't ready to listen to his plea except to tell him to let the people march forward. How can we march forward with water ahead of us? This is a question many might have asked. They just needed to trust the One who gave the instruction.
Right now, you might be facing situations that look unsolvable, but God is saying just keep moving. Movement is a sign of faith. Wake up, apply where needed, do even a small business or anything with faith, and you shall see mountains moving. Nothing will stop you at all as a child of God. Keep moving.

I will keep moving. Christ in me is the hope of all glory. Every mountain in my life is becoming a plain in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

The easiest way to get God's solutions is by solving His needs. Most of us saturate Heaven with requests, cries, and complaints without asking God what He wants. When you go for God's need, He'll go for your need. As much as God is all-sufficient, there are things He left for His people to do on this earth.
1 Samuel says the Word of God was rare, meaning there was no prophet or trusted voice of God. Hannah knew God's need and said, "If you remove my barrenness, I'll give you back a prophet." It was purely transactional; she offered to meet God's need, and He met hers. Today, look for one thing to do for the Kingdom—charity, giving, or any form of serving in the house of God. Be a solution to God and you'll get your own solution.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
It sounds far-fetched when I tell some people they aren't the cause of Jesus Christ's crucifixion. You are the result, a by-product of His death. You didn’t cause Him to die; it was the old you that caused His death. The Bible says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The word 'new' is kainos in Greek, meaning something that never existed before.
You are a brand new species that never existed before. All the sins and errors were committed by the old you. Those who accuse you of what you did yesterday are like thieves going to your old address to rob you. You have the righteousness of God in you. All things become new as you understand this. No demon or curse has power over your life; you have a brand new life in Jesus Christ. Go out and see His precious glory manifesting in your life.

Mark 7:13 (KJV)
Making the Word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
My definition of tradition is frozen success. The methods that worked in the past may not work today. In primary school we used to say one minus two can't be done. Then you reach a level where you realize the answer is minus one. The first answer worked at a certain level, not at higher levels. Don't put God in a box by forcing Him to work according to your preconceived ideas. He's capable of doing a new thing, a brand new miracle in your life, something never witnessed in your family.
The Bible says they made the Word of God of none effect by their tradition, by their unbelief. They couldn’t believe that the boy who used to be carried by Mary could now perform miracles, signs, and wonders. They wanted Him to produce something within their belief, but He defied it all. Today God is doing a new thing in your life. Something that never existed before is coming to you in the Name of Jesus. Just believe.

Romans 15:4
Matthew 12:37 (KJV)
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Every word you speak doesn’t die. It goes and waits to fulfil whatever you said. Whether what you said is reality or not, the word will stand to make it happen. If you say things are hard, the word will make sure everything you touch becomes hard. If you say everyone hates you, that word will see to it that everyone hates you. You might think you're prophetic when you see it happening, yet you're just bewitching yourself and complicating your life.
The easiest way to fight a negative word is to replace it with a positive one. The Bible says that you shall condemn any word that rises against you (Isaiah 54:17), which means words can rise against someone. Words are fought by words. You might have said something negative about yourself before, but today choose to say something positive. You are a chosen one of God, and what you speak will bring life. Decree and declare prosperity, power, promotion, and good health in the Name of Jesus. Your lines are falling in pleasant places as you utter these words.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The Kingdom of God isn't stagnant. The Bible confirms we move from glory to glory, meaning no form of glory is final to God. He desires that you see glory continually. You might think what God did for you is the best of His ability, but He can surprise you every minute without repeating Himself. He can do a new thing in your household.
This prophetic word is developing wings in your life as you feed on it. There's no more stagnation in your life in the Name of Jesus. You're moving from one level of glory to another. Greater is He that is in you, and there's no reason to back off. You're conquering territories by the power of the Holy Ghost. Square your shoulders, go out, and see the Almighty doing a new thing in your life.

1 Samuel 16:13 (KJV)
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
When Samuel anointed David, those who saw him thought it was just oil on his head. But it was more than oil. The unction of God he received that day separated him from his brothers. When he started doing exploits on the battlefield, the oil empowered him. The anointing of God inside you sets you apart from the ordinary, and that anointing abides forever. Put that oil of God to use starting today. Every child of God has the oil of God; it’s not just for pastors.
As you receive the grace of God through the Word, the same anointing spreads to your business, family, health, and all areas of your life. You can't be stopped because you have the oil, and God's grace is strong upon your life. Even Jesus declared that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him and He was anointed to preach the Good News. He had the oil to do His assignment. Today, that oil upon your life is causing a prophetic turnaround.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
The world is full of manufacturers of various products like food, technology, and ammunition. There's one area they've never touched but is touched by us as Christians. The Bible says before Jesus encountered people, He woke up in the morning and prayed. What was He doing early morning? He was manufacturing and loading fire. He didn’t want to face the business of the day without loading fire. It’s not safe to face a day without loading fire inside you.
When you pray, you're manufacturing and loading fire in your system so that you become invincible to the devil and his cohorts. Nothing can stand fire. It penetrates and destroys strongholds. As you read this prophetic message, begin to intercede and pray so you become fully loaded with fire. Prayer is a congealment of fire. Don't tire of praying, no matter what you might be facing today. Just load prayer and go out to confront those areas you thought were unconquerable. Nothing and no one shall stop you or your God-given purpose in the Name of Jesus.

Jude 1:20
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Many people don't understand the real meaning of an embassy. They think an embassy is the building or office used by the ambassador. An embassy is only an embassy when the ambassador is inside. When he's not in the building, it’s called a chancellery. What makes a building an embassy is the presence of the ambassador. Similarly, when the president of America boards a helicopter, it becomes Air Force One. It’s not the design of the chopper that makes it Air Force One, but the one on board.
When the Bible calls you an ambassador of Heaven, it means any environment you enter becomes an embassy of God. Your presence as a child of God fills the whole environment with God's presence. There's no poverty, lack, or affliction in the atmosphere of God. Today, wherever you go, you'll see only positive results because you're an ambassador of Heaven, and your presence creates an atmosphere of divinity.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
When we say an object is "of gold," it doesn't mean it belongs to gold. It means the object is made from gold, full of gold components. Similarly, when the Bible says you're of God, it means you're made of God particles or divine components. From head to toe, you're an embodiment of the divine; everything about you is God. When you walk, never think you're a mere body walking. You're more than a spiritual juggernaut.
There's no place for disease, poverty, or failure in God because there's only light in Him and no darkness. God can't stay in the same place as the devil and his cohorts. That sickness, poverty, or depression needs to hear from you that today is eviction day. They can't be harboured anymore in the temple of God. When you walk into your office or space of operation, just know it’s not you setting foot but God Himself. Go out and take over territories!

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
For years, you've been driving this manual car of yours where you had to steer, change gears, brake, and accelerate. Then suddenly, you awaken to a dimension of God's blessings, and now you have a Tesla Cybertruck. This one drives itself while you sit back and drink tea. At first, this will be a challenge as you'll find yourself wanting to do what you're used to.
This is why today's scripture tells us to labour to enter into His rest. The labouring you need to do is to disengage your mind from trying to do good, trying to live right, and earning a right standing with God. We're being told to awaken to what the Lord did for us so that we don't have to work but simply rest in Him and take advantage of the Grace that He has bestowed on us. When you enter into His rest, it is no longer you who does the work, but the Grace of God now works through you in ways that will blow your mind. Now that is Good News!

Technically, you're not walking blindly into an unknown future; no, I have already walked the whole year and seen that it is good and prosperity awaits.
By connecting with me, you have become a partaker of the grace upon my life. You have access to everything that you see in my life. As if that is not enough, the whole creation was commanded to hear your voice and heed your commands. When you put a seed in the ground, it's programmed to multiply. Likewise, your voice is programmed to create what you speak. So tell me, how can you fail when everything has been set up for you to always win!?

Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
By world standards, we say knowledge is power and you're paid for what you know about the field you're working in. The above scripture says those who know their God will be strong; they will be spiritual giants and will do exploits! The Bible is very deliberate in its choice of words here. It says 'exploits,' meaning you will do extraordinary stuff with no special effects!
These levels are easy to attain when you get to know God through the Word. When you check out His track record from beginning to end, you will realize that He's never lost any battle. In fact, you'll see the Bible is a collection of stories of people who stood against Him and were utterly defeated. Armed with that record, you can take on any challenge knowing you're backed by One who never loses. You will terrorize the enemy till you become a luminary in the spirit like Paul, whom even the evil spirit confessed, "Paul we know" (Acts 19:15). Dig deeper and get to know your God by revelation, and you'll see what you will get for Christmas!

People often talk of peer pressure from friends and colleagues in a negative way, but today's scripture encourages us to influence and encourage each other to express our love and positively impact wherever we are. The Bible says, "Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend" (Proverbs 27:17).
That's why it's so important to be part of a Cell Group, wherein a small group of like-minded people, you get to chew on the Word and you put it to work within that setting. For example, you touch on scriptures for healing, then go out praying for the sick and come back to share your results. The passage goes on to tell us to encourage each other not to miss church! So, who are you calling to encourage not to forsake coming to the church service? Be your brother's keeper today; check on your brother and sister today.

And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
For example, in the National Football League (NFL), a prestigious award known as the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) is given to a player who performs exceptionally. They get a big pay cheque, and their value increases for future pay cheques, too.
Now, look at MVP Dorcas. She fell sick and died, and her 'team' couldn't survive without her, so they called Apostle Peter to bring her back. Would that be said about you? Today, strive to be that MVP in your family, at your church, and in your department. Be known for your giving and for your service. As your value in the Kingdom increases, you'll also secure your future, so even death will not be allowed to touch you.

As far as God is concerned, He's given us all the power and authority that we need to dominate in this world. If you read a few verses before, you will see that Herod had just killed James and had now moved to arrest Peter so he could kill him next. This time the Church woke up and prayed without ceasing. They exercised their responsibility to pray and enact the will of God over the situation. You have the responsibility of enacting the will of God. Just like the church prayed and unleashed the forces of Heaven to rescue Peter from jail, pray and unleash the forces of Heaven in your life.

And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up onto a mountain apart to pray: and when evening had come, He was there alone.
During the time of the Lord Jesus’ ministration in this world, you’ll notice that ever so often He would retreat to the mountains to find peace and quiet so that He could spend time in prayer. He would remove Himself from the hustle and bustle of people around so that He could recharge. He would return full of power, performing ridiculous miracles, casting out demons, and commanding storms to cease.
How often do you recharge your spirit, if at all? These moments of quiet fellowship with the Holy Spirit are very important to your spiritual growth and acquaintance with Him. I'm not talking about prayer time full of requests. This is just to fellowship. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know that He is God." You get enveloped with great peace that surpasses understanding so that when you step out, you can command your environment to be still because you will be pulling out what is in you, just like the Lord Jesus calmed the storm.

As a born-again child of God, you immediately became a citizen of Zion. This Kingdom operates by its own set of rules so alien that the Bible says they’re foolishness to non-citizens. That means there is much to learn about this new Kingdom.
Whilst it's imperative that we learn the code of conduct so that we take full advantage of the benefits that come with it, we also have a duty to be well acquainted with the Kingdom's principles, how it operates, and why it is necessary to be a citizen of it. This knowledge allows you to share this message of the hour and defend your faith where it's challenged. The moment you received the Lord Jesus Christ, you became a candidate for the commission to go into the world. Therefore, it is necessary for you to study the Word and show yourself as a scholar of the Word. As you do so, you also unleash the power within you!

It's an investment with extremely high returns and guaranteed security from the devourer. Not only do you get high returns, but your heart follows along with your treasure in the heavens.

It even says, "Let your profiting appear to all!" (1 Timothy 4:15). A city functions as a centre for business, a source for everyday needs, etc. People will travel to the cities to earn a living. Do you see where this is going?

Philemon 1:6 (KJV)
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
It’s good to have regular talking sessions with yourself. You’re your own coach, player, and cheerleader. Tell yourself that you’re a success, you’re rich, you have divine health, you’re the real deal!
The scripture above is so potent and requires you to pay close attention. It tells us that the communication of your faith becomes effective as you recognize and have full knowledge of every good thing that is already in you in Christ Jesus. Stay with me one minute. That word 'communication' is koinonia, which means fellowship, participation, intimacy. The word 'effectual' is energēs, which means to be energized. And lastly, the word 'acknowledge' is epignōsis, which is full and precise revelation knowledge. In other words, your faith springs into action as you fully acknowledge what is already in you the moment you got born again.
So, start telling yourself what the Word says about you concerning a particular thing. Look into that mirror and tell yourself that you have the mind of Christ, the mind of the Extraordinary Strategist; you can never fail whatever you put your mind to!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I acknowledge every good thing in me in Christ, and I am boldly exercising my faith. I talk big; I walk big because I am big in Jesus’ Name!

Philippians 4:8-9
Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Did you know that you walk around with a state-of-the-art medical facility in your body? Everything you ever need is right there with you—even the cure to any disease imaginable. So the question is, are you sick? The Bible here tells us that laughter is the best medicine. But this is not just any kind of laughter; this is the joy of the Lord. This type of joy is not dependent on the happenings around you but stems from your spirit.
The Bible also says, "The joy of the Lord is my strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). You get your strength from the joy that stems from the Lord. It also says, “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice” (Philippians 4:4). Too many times, the Bible tells us not to worry but to rejoice because it is vital for your wellbeing. It’s literally like medicine.
The devil knows all he has to do is chip away your joy, and he takes away your strength. Stand fast on the promises of God, rejoicing evermore, and you will always have peace that surpasses all understanding whilst restoring your body!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The joy of the Lord is my strength. Nothing in this world will take away my joy. My body is rejuvenated as I rejoice in the Lord. Hallelujah!

1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV)
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
This scripture is mind-blowing when you try to comprehend what is being said here. It starts with the question, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? How can anyone know the mind of Christ, the One who created everything seen and unseen?"
But don't get stuck on the question mark because it goes on to say that we have the mind of Christ! If that doesn't get you jumping around shouting hallelujah, then I don't know what will! You HAVE the mind of Christ. You already have it! You are not studying the mind of Christ so that you can understand it, no. Now, you are studying Him so that you know the potential that you have and use it. Imagine the mind that created the Heavens and the Earth out of nothing, the One who walked on water, opened blind eyes, cast out demons, raised the dead, plus, plus, plus—that mind is in you. Awaken to that reality and you will be an unstoppable force, a spiritual juggernaut!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the mind of Christ. I awaken to that reality. I am an unstoppable force. I am crushing through any challenge or obstacle that stands in my way in Jesus' Name!

Isaiah 55:8-11
2 Timothy 1:9 (NIV)
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
The grace of God sets you apart! It brings honour, dignity, and liberty into your life. When you're a beneficiary of God's grace, you're free from the bondage of sin and guilt! The moment you decided to leave the kingdom of darkness and enter eternal rest in Christ Jesus, you were covered by grace! When you know that God's grace is sufficient for you, you can never be frustrated by life's challenges.
Grace is a technology in the spirit designed to ensure guaranteed success for you and those around you. This same grace shall arise strong in you and cause chains of sickness, chains of poverty, chains of negativity, chains of depression, divorce, etc., to BREAK in the Name of Jesus! Remember, this year is specifically tailored for you, chain breaker; now succeed.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Armed with God's grace, I'm stepping out of my home today a bigger and better version of myself. God's grace propels me to new heights and opens doors of opportunity. I am a vessel of His power, breaking through every barrier and achieving the extraordinary. I shall do exploits for the Kingdom in this new year in Jesus' Name! Amen.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
The tallest mountains display God's ability to create the grandest structures. Mount Everest reaches over twenty-nine thousand feet. The Amazon rainforest, teeming with biodiversity and complexity, houses several thousand animals, showcasing His ability to make something thrive with abundance. The human brain itself contains eighty-six billion neurons interconnected by trillions of synapses. This exhibits God's power—power so brilliant that even the best scientist cannot replicate it!
Your very life is proof of a meticulous Creator. God has placed intrinsic value on your life; the Bible calls you fearfully and wonderfully made! As His child, never allow things like low self-esteem to change who He has called you to be. All the Earth’s wonders do not measure up to the value God has placed on you. Learn to walk in the reality of who you are in Christ today, and you will see the chain breaker in you thrive!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Among the world’s biggest wonders, I am God’s best. I know the value He has placed on my life; therefore, success today is certain. Failure has no place in my life.

Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ's life, the fulfilment of God's original promise.
In a world of designer outlets, fancy clothes, and the significant influence fashion has on pop culture today, as a child of God, can you confidently say you're working on your 'faith wardrobe' more than your wardrobe here on Earth? Today's verse states you are dressed in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ’s life! As a believer, you must live a sanctified life. When you're truly clothed in righteousness, it's evident in the way you dress or appear to others and in how you conduct yourself, in your conversations, the words you speak, and what you do when nobody is watching. When you're dressed in Christ's life, your all is Christ's!
When you became born again, your old life was replaced with the Father's life in you. Your entire being was infused with God's life. When you walk, it should be Christ walking. When you talk, it should be Christ talking. Why? Because you're clothed in His Life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am clothed in righteousness! My life belongs to Christ. Every aspect of my being has been infused with the living God's new life. I walk and talk as Christ, radiating His love, wisdom, and power. I'm a living testimony of His grace! Amen.

As a child of the living God, you are more than bulletproof! You have been set apart from the dangers of this world and placed in a position where nothing by any means should harm you. When you walk in this reality, fear can never consume or abate the power God has placed over your life. This is God's assurance for your protection!
Even in the midst of financial downturn, poverty cannot touch you! Even in the midst of the deadliest pestilence or disease, you are immune. Not even the toughest chains can resist your chain-breaking abilities. This is the life God intends for you, a life above circumstances. God is with you always, walk in this reality today; you are MORE THAN BULLETPROOF!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am more than bulletproof! God's assurance for my protection, health, and prosperity is in His perfect Word. No weapon can harm me because the living God is with me.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
The number one advantage you have as a child of God over those in the world is the security of His grace and love for you! We live in a time when the devil is working tirelessly to try and prevent people from leaving the kingdom of darkness and entering the Kingdom of light. Now more than ever, the world is in a constant state of instability, from shifting economies to entire governments collapsing!
Despite this, the scriptures show us that the God we serve is a never-changing destiny changer. In the verse above, He is described as the God who does not change like shifting shadows! As God's child, recognise that God has placed you in a place of solidity, and the unstable nature of the world is not your nature!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
God is a never-changing destiny changer! In Christ, I am solid, grounded in righteousness. No turmoil the world faces is strong enough to harm me or my family. I decree and declare that my life is anchored in God's unchanging promises, and I walk in divine stability and peace. Hallelujah!

God said to Moses: "Why cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites. Order them to get moving. Hold your staff high and stretch your hand out over the sea: Split the sea! The Israelites will walk through the sea on dry ground."
The biggest problem with millions of Christians is that they're waiting for God to do something, yet He has left them every resource to act out His Word in their lives! When circumstances go wrong, many cry out to God saying things like, "Oh Lord, I'm in trouble. Please break these shackles!" Yet He's looking back at you and questioning why you’re not utilising the prophecy He gave you for this year.
Moses reached the Red Sea and saw the waters before him and the Egyptians behind him and began to cry out to the Lord. God responded, "Why cry out to me? Split the sea!" God knew the power He had placed on Moses was enough for him to secure the victory. It was Moses who hadn't yet walked in this reality. Don't wait for God to act; He's waiting for you to act on His Word!

Procrastination prevents your blessing! You serve a God of action, and as His child, you cannot allow yourself to succumb to the enemy's attacks simply because you didn't act when God called you to act! In today's verse, the scriptures go as far as to say when you know to do good and do not do it, it's a sin!
Every general in the Bible is known in the heavenlies just because they chose to act on what God had called them to be. Can you imagine the ramifications if David procrastinated before slaying Goliath? Or if Moses never left Egypt, leaving the Israelites in slavery even longer? Your inaction can lead to stagnation not only for you but also for your community! God has placed you in the perfect place to succeed; it's up to you whether you decide to act or not. It's time to act on this year's prophecy; break the chains of procrastination and stagnation will vanish into thin air.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today, I enact everything God has told me to do. By His grace, I am empowered to take decisive action. Therefore, I break every chain of procrastination and move forward in boldness and faith. I shall not hold back on doing good, and I dispel stagnation from my life now! Amen.

Psalm 119:130 (NIV)
The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.
The fundamental component for a plant's growth is light! Imagine the marvel of photosynthesis: a plant draws in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, then, with the help of sunlight, transforms these elements into sugar and oxygen. The sugar nourishes the plant, fuelling its growth, while the oxygen is released back into the air, providing the very breath we rely on.
Giving your life to Christ is laying the foundation and seeds for success, and just like a plant, your only chance at growth is receiving light! While reading the scriptures, the light of His Word is entering your spirit, causing necessary growth in your life. As a Christian, recognise the life-changing power of God's Word today and experience growth like never before.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Year of the Chain Breaker is my year of serious spiritual growth. I prophesy higher levels of fellowship with God in Jesus' Name!

An orchestra is a large collection of instruments typically composed of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections in which over one hundred musicians can collaborate together. While each instrument has its own unique sound and tone, they come together to formulate a beautiful symphony! Just like an orchestra, within Christianity today, moving as a united front against the forces of evil in this world is extremely vital.
As a child of God, recognise not only God's plan for your life but also His plans for the Christians around you. The verse above informs us that when you pray for your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, it contains strengthening power! In these end times, remember to encourage others in their faith. Move in a constant spirit of unity and love for those around you today, even if their personal mission differs from yours!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I understand my role in this beautiful symphony! I pray that Christians around the world are moving consistently with God's plan for the whole of Christendom in Jesus’ Name!

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
This world is encompassed in great darkness and for millions of people around the world, it's extremely easy to feel a sense of helplessness. Throughout the Bible, God's Word is described as a light, meaning that as a child of God, you should never allow yourself to be afflicted by feelings of uncertainty. When you feel like you are lacking direction in your life or wandering blindly, that is the perfect time to turn the light back on!
Many of the problems you face in life are a result of not taking time to allow the light of the Word of God to guide you. Let God's Word be your GPS to navigate through life’s troubles. Allow the transformative power of His Word to lay out a map for your future today!

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
The notion that you must remain in Christ for wonders to take place continually in your life is known worldwide and said often, yet many do not understand why or how this takes place. The reason for this is simple: when you are a child of God, you are built up for success. The Bible tells us that for those who trust in Him, all things work together for good!
This means when you deviate from God's voice in your life, you remove yourself from the limitless favour He placed on you the moment you were born again. You were made to bear fruit! When you left the kingdom of darkness, you adopted a life in easy mode! REMAIN IN HIM!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today shall be a day of bearing fruit. Christ lives in me; how can I not flourish and multiply? I decree and declare that every area of my life is infused with divine productivity. My thoughts, actions, and words are aligned with God's will, producing abundant results. Fruitfulness, come NOW in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Romans 8:28
John 14:13-14 (KJV)
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
The beauty in today's scripture is found in its deeper meaning. When it says 'ask,' it does not mean praying for God to act. Instead, it means to require, request, receive, or demand what you desire to take place! When you're facing sickness, do not fret; say, "In the Name of Jesus, I claim my healing." Or when you're lacking finances, do not cry like the unbelievers. Instead, say, "In the Name of Jesus, I receive my riches!"
Just as a child confidently approaches their parents to ask for the newest toy in a shop window without fear of denial, approach God and claim whatever you need. He's more loving and capable than even the most devoted and experienced parent. God wants to help you; all you have to do is ask.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I claim restoration in every area of my life, for God has richly given me all things to enjoy. I decree and declare that I walk in divine provision and perfect health. By the authority of Jesus' Name, I command every need in my life to be met and every godly desire to be fulfilled! Amen!

Lord his God. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
In the Bible, King David faced many attacks, both spiritual and physical. All the while, he never looked for motivation or encouragement from anyone but God alone. It's evident in several of his psalms that some situations he faced seemed like they could lead to his and his kingdom's downfall. Yet each and every time, he was encouraged and motivated by his love and devotion to God.
As a Christian, walk in the reality that all you need is in God. When you face battles in your life, instead of saying, "I'm helpless," be like David and say, "I fear no evil, for You are with me." When the enemy attempts to disrupt your peace, stand strong knowing you have chain-breaking abilities in your DNA. Encourage yourself in God today and push forward!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I know my DNA. I belong to Jehovah Most High, and His Spirit is in me permanently.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
The most demonic person you will ever meet is someone who hates instruction! The scripture above says God disciplines the ones He loves. You are in a very dangerous and unstable position if your pastor, apostle, prophet, or anyone you respect within the faith is afraid to correct you. Correction allows you to view life's difficulties through the lens of someone who may know more about the Word concerning your situation.
God has placed leaders in their positions for the sole purpose of helping you! Refuse to let pride prevent you from recognising your own faults or areas for improvement. Instead of getting offended, learn to welcome correction and see your walk with God improve tremendously!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I welcome correction! Pastors and Leaders are put in their positions for my benefit. I shall not take offense when a leader offers to help me where they think I may be going wrong. I embrace wisdom and guidance, knowing it leads to growth and maturity. Through correction, I am strengthened, refined, and aligned with God's perfect will. I declare that every correction I receive propels me to higher levels of excellence and deeper intimacy with God. Hallelujah!

In the Word, God details exactly what His servants should expect in this life! Despite this, many Christians are not experiencing all these benefits in their everyday lives. The cause of this is simple; many have not read His Word enough to know their inheritance in Christ! Everything Christ gave you the moment you were born again is written plainly in His Word. Delve deeper into it today and walk in the reality of who He has made you.
As a child of God, no weapon forged can harm you, and anyone who accuses you in court will be dismissed as a liar! This should be a servant of God’s expectation. You're the chain breaker here; refuse to expect the ordinary and start living a life of the extraordinary this year!

For millions of Christians around the world, prayer has become a relatively meaningless ritual recited before going to sleep or eating dinner. This couldn't be further from what God intended it to be! In the Bible, God communicates that prayer can be done at all points of the day. Whether you're on your way to work, having lunch, or even watching television, there's never a wrong time to pray!
Today's verse talks about a certain 'working' taking place in you that enables you to be the best for God. Do not ignore this force from God pulling you to pray. When you ignore it, know there is also a force pulling you away from prayer. The devil knows that there's transformative power built into communing with divinity; that's why he'll stop at nothing to prevent you from doing so! Recognise the power in prayer, and witness chains drop dead like flies!

As I pray right now, chains are breaking one by one. Souls are marching into the Kingdom, and national leaders are being converted.

Jesus Christ didn't come to make your dreams come true! While we praise and thank Him for making people's dreams come true every day, this is a junior level of understanding of how the scriptures present His role in our lives. God is not living to satisfy you; instead, you are living to satisfy Him. As a child of God, you must recognise His Lordship over you!
Reach a point where all your desires align perfectly with God's will for your life. Paul reached a level where he could say, "I no longer live but Christ lives in me!" As a result of recognising Christ’s leadership over his life, he could boldly say Christ was operating and acting out His desires through him. You’re not a dream chaser; you are living life to satisfy the One who saved you from the grasp of the enemy!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

It may shock you to know that the average Christian has barely scratched the surface of all Christ has offered in His Word. The reason is simple: many do not read it at all! The answer to 100% of the problems you face today resides in His Word, but unless you read it, you'll continue to face problems like any non-believer. God tells us His people perish because of lack of knowledge, not because the devil is powerful or even because His children are sinning, but purely due to ignorance of spiritual truths.
It's the Year of the Chain Breaker, but that reality needs the Word of God in order to be realised. Today, make a decision to read God's Word daily, allowing its transformative power to change your life with every letter, syllable, and phrase.

You may have been ostracised and rejected by man, but God has never and will never reject you. He made sufficient provision for your success before you were even born.
Learn to leave the past in the PAST! Refuse to let your mistakes define who you are. You're a new creature in Christ; old things have passed away, and all things have become brand new. Whatever shackles you were walking around with from your past, break them now. You're a chain breaker!

In criminal justice and law enforcement, there's a program called Witness Protection! Witness Protection, or WITSEC in America, protects witnesses at risk. In this program, you're given a new identity, disguising you from the enemy's sight; this encourages witnesses to testify without fear of retaliation or harm.
As a child of God, you're a witness of His glory! When you gave your life to Him, you received a new identity, and the enemy's gaze was redirected. As a witness of God's glory, those who fought against Abraham faced divine retribution, and those who blessed him were blessed. Likewise, you are under 24/7 surveillance from Heaven's government. Testify freely of God's grace, knowing no one can harm you. Break ALL chains free from fear; the devil cannot catch you now!

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
No scripture in the Bible tries to prove God's existence because this is a truth! If you don't believe, the onus lies on you to prove otherwise. When it comes to walking in God or in His ways, you learn you don't test truth; you apply it! When you enter a gym, you don't check to see if exercising with weights will develop your muscles. You enter knowing it will! You're not going to test the weights; instead, you apply what you've learned about the weights.
Phrases like, "If God is God, He should heal me," or "I'm praying to see if God will do it" are becoming too common in the Church. When you realise that God's Word is nothing but the truth, doubt dwindles away!

Today, many are addicted to appeasing others to be popular or liked. Yet, in the days of old, most apostles, prophets, and Bible characters respected in Christendom were heavily persecuted for their belief in God! While being widely known isn't bad, let the notability you gain result from the impact you've made within the Body of Christ.
Apostle Paul wrote several New Testament books while in Roman captivity. Jeremiah was consistently attacked and hated for his prophecies, even by those closest to him. John wrote the book of Revelation while exiled to the island of Patmos. Though these biblical heroes faced hardships, their impact has lasted thousands of years! Your walk with God isn't a popularity contest; it's a chance to make a genuine impact on millions of lost souls. Break chains in your community, workplace or school.

Such sayings are pushed in worldly mediums like literature, songs, or prose in order to abate the power God has placed in you. The verse above shows that above all things, that's right, not some, not most, but above all things, the heart is deceitful.
As God’s child, you cannot allow your heart to dictate your life choices or reactions to crises. The heart is desperately wicked, and if you listen to it, you may unintentionally lend yourself to the enemy’s plan. Rather, be led by the Spirit of God in you as a guide to navigate through the vicissitudes of life. Learn to follow only the Lord and His Word and live a life not dominated by emotions or feelings of the heart!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I reject deceit and choose to be led solely by the Spirit of God within me. Every mountain that dares to stand in my way today is obliterated by the power of Jesus. I walk in divine guidance, crushing every obstacle and enemy plan. Victory is mine in the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

Psalm 32:8
1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Whilst this verse is extremely popular amongst Christians worldwide, many fail to action it! The scripture, although seemingly simple, holds such a powerful and profound message; have you really made the decision to submit all you are for His glory? Living your life for the glory of God is more than tuning into church programmes, or even attending church services every Sunday, it is choosing to submit every area of your life to the governance of Christ!
Several instances in the Bible show that whatever you do not submit to God, the devil will attempt to utilise to destroy your destiny! Practice involving God in your interests, marriage, business, absolutely anything that pertains to you. By doing so, you gain the ability to break all manner of chains and give the enemy no grounds to manipulate or attack you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today I choose to submit my whole life to God. Everything I do henceforth, will be solely for His glory. By making my plans known to God, my success is sure.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
As a child of God, you are a branch connected to a perfect Vine! In the study of botany (the research of plants and their environment), the vine provides water and nutrients to its branches, ensuring their success. In the same way, as branches of the eternal Vine, Jesus Christ, He provides His children living water and healing in our bodies! You cannot allow sickness or pestilence to plague your body when you know whose Vine you belong to. The Bible shows that you have the life of Christ in you; therefore, do not fear what the enemy may try to do to you.
In the Bible, Apostle Paul echoes the scripture for today: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." He recognised that, as a branch, he had the ability to do absolutely anything because of the strength bestowed upon him by God. Realise your limitless opportunities and power today by recognising who you are connected to.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a branch on God's eternal Vine; my source of strength comes from Him. I shall not fret today about any challenge that may come my way. I am well connected to the ultimate Vine, Jesus Christ!

What if I told you that the life God intended for you to live is a life in which no attack of the enemy can catch you by surprise? As a Christian, you can never be blindsided by the attacks of the devil. God has given His angels charge over you, meaning they are working overtime to ensure your perpetual protection from harm!
As a child of the living God, you can never allow things like fear or worry to sour your days because God has placed safety precautions in everything pertaining to your life. When you live life in fear, you undermine the God-given protection you have in Christ and allow the devil to take advantage of you. We’re in a prophesied year. Chains have no choice but to fall at your command. Walk in this continuous reality that you serve a God who is more alert than the highest-grade security system!

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
The verse above follows the betrayal of Jesus Christ and His subsequent arrest. In this moment, a spiritual reality is revealed! The Lord Jesus says, "This is your hour, and the power of darkness." Isn't it profound that the Lord Jesus could acknowledge a point where the enemy thought they had won? Little did they know, they had played their roles perfectly into God's divine plan. In just three days, the resurrected, glorified son of God was on display for all to see, including those who devised plans against Him!
Sometimes in your life, you may find yourself in situations where it seems the enemy has won. Yet that hour and the power of darkness are part of a bigger plan for your promotion! Trust God and witness His shift your life entirely for the better! Have confidence in the God who stared death in its face and overcame it. You shall see chains break like never before this year!

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
You are not God’s mistake! Many people live their day-to-day lives equating their value to the circumstances in which they came into the world or the environment to which they were subjected. Yet God's Word shows us that even before you were formed, an inherent value was placed on your life. In the verse above, we see God talking to Jeremiah, revealing to him that even before he was formed in the womb, God had appointed him as a prophet to the nations! In the same way, God expresses through His Word that He has placed value on your life even before you came into being physically.
As a child of God, it is up to you to recognise and walk in the worth God has already placed on your life! You’re a chain-breaking, unstoppable powerhouse! Be emboldened by the gift of God in you, and you shall see God's blessings like never before this year!

Philippians 2:10-11 (KJV)
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The Bible tells us that all circumstances you face in your life, whether things in Heaven, in or under this Earth, ought to bow at the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, many Christians can cite several instances where they have used the name of Jesus, and their situations have not changed or have even worsened! The reason for this is simple. In its original rendering, 'name' translates to anoma, meaning character or personality. Many call on the name of God yet their own lives do not reflect godliness in any sense.
The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a password you use to just break chains but something that requires your life to be a mirror of the power you are attempting to access. As a child of God, ensure you are aligning yourself with the character of Christ and you will see the enemy on bended knees in your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is a reflection of the living God in me. Today, I call upon the name of the Lord in His character, and all chains that need to break shall break today! Amen.

And have you ever ordered Morning, ‘Get up!’ told Dawn, ‘Get to work!’ So, you could seize Earth like a blanketand shake out the wicked like cockroaches?
Do you know you can command your morning? For many Christians, the honest answer to this question is a resounding 'No!' Even though the Word shows the importance of commanding your days through several instances in the Bible, many still navigate their lives blindly without acknowledging the power God has enveloped them in. As a child of God, He has given you the power to shape your future before you have even stepped into it. This power, however, is not fully realised when, instead of commanding your morning, you make checking your phone for messages your priority the moment you wake up!
From this day on, make this God-given ability an essential element of your morning routine. When you command your days, not only are you charting the course for your future, but you are also breaking chains and frustrating the plans of the enemy before they even have a chance to substantiate or harm you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I command you morning to set the pace for a successful day today. I prophesy that my day shall be a chain-breaking day in every area of my life. I am a sure success this 2025. Hallelujah!

Psalms 5:3
1 Peter 5:5 (KJV)
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Whilst the quote' pride comes before the fall' is equally popular in Christendom and secular communities alike, referenced throughout literary texts, speeches and other mediums of pop culture, its origin and meaning are based entirely on biblical principles! The Bible tells us that if you want to actualise God's blessings in your life, you must ensure you are not prideful!
Many people today are consumed by pride due to their lack of knowledge of what it actually means to be prideful. When you have pride, you have an excessive belief in your own abilities without recognising the grace of God functioning in your life! The verse above shows us that in contrast to God resisting the proud, he gives grace to the humble. As we embark on a new year, the biggest chain to break is the chain of pride. Don’t let it hinder your testimonies this year. Clothe yourself in humility and see the full manifestation of your year as a chain breaker!

Looking back at the Year of Milk and Honey, our hearts are filled with gratitude to the Lord for all our supernatural accomplishments both as a ministry and in our individual lives. Today’s verse says God always causes us to triumph in Christ, and that’s every reason to be thankful! Every triumph is directly owed to God.
So, look at the year in retrospect; be thankful, joyful, appreciative and full of gratitude to the Lord for all He’s done for you. Don’t take this time to start counting all the bad things that happened; rather, count your blessings. Rejoice over every accomplishment, however small!
Remember, joy is an expression of your faith. By celebrating and rejoicing, you show God a photograph of your faith. Give thanks with the expectation of an even bigger and better 2025!
Remember to keep the fire on your altar burning through prayer in this new year.

… He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
When you received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, your destiny in God began. As we read in today's scripture, you were set on a path of righteousness. Some people are living outside of God’s will because they’re not living in and by the Word. They’re in places they shouldn’t be, affiliated with people they shouldn’t be, living in houses they shouldn’t live in; their whole life is out of course, and that’s an error.
It ought to be different for you; predestination is at work in you, and your life has a purpose with God. He leads you by His Spirit that lives in you, and in the path He’s set for you to walk is everything you’ll ever require to fulfil your calling. Perhaps you’re feeling you may have missed and strayed from God’s purpose for your life. It’s not too late. That’s the reason this Word is coming to you now. It’s not too late to retrace your steps in God through His Word. You will experience His glory like you never thought possible.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Remember when Peter denied knowing the Lord Jesus after His arrest? To others, Peter should have been written off, not worthy to be called an apostle; but not with Jesus! He appeared to the disciples after His resurrection and reinstated Peter. He asked Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” To Peter’s affirmative responses, Jesus said, “Feed My sheep” (John 21:15-18).
Notice, Jesus didn’t say, “Peter, you thought I’d forget what you did, hey? You’re such a disappointment! After all the miracles you saw with Me and all your bragging that you’d follow Me till the end, you still denied Me. You will regret what you did. How can I even trust you going forward?” No, He didn’t take Peter’s error into account. My, my, my, this is our Master’s love! What would you do to someone who hurt you this bad? Would you take no account of it like Jesus did? Some of you do forgive, but you’re mean after you forgive. You still want the person to feel your wrath. That’s not forgiveness. It’s time to contemplate. Forgive before we cross into a new year. Send that message, make that call, pay that visit – forgive!

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Many Christians are busy making last-minute preparations for the beginning of a new year. Goals are listed, and ‘fingers crossed’ to hopefully fulfil what they set out to achieve next year. Let me give you this. If you want to be continually successful, living the ever-victorious life you’ve been called to live, you have to be focused and consistent. There is no ‘finger crossing’ that will help you. You can’t talk strength, courage, victory, prosperity, health and wholeness, and at the same time speak weakness, fear, failure, poverty and sickness.
If you say life has its ‘ups and downs,’ all you’re saying is that your life will always be inconsistent, unpredictable, and uncertain. That’s not for Christians; we go upward and forward only.
Set your focus on the new year and go for the goal. The God of glory, who’s at work in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure, will see to it that you’re a success in every arena this coming year. Just be consistent!

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Above is the Angel’s message to the shepherds on that wonderful day. The day the heavens celebrated the birth of The King and the day we celebrate today. He was born to fulfil the will of the Father. He was God’s love manifested to us. He was God’s sacrificial lamb to die and pay the price for the salvation of the world, to bring men into divine fellowship with the Father.
He saved us with His own love and gave His life for us so we could experience the Father’s love through fellowship. Jesus experienced the love of the Father the way no man ever did. He said in John 14:10, “I am in the Father, and the Father is in me.” He walked in the Father, and the Father walked in Him. The same love He experienced with the Father, He shared with us. We were not worthy, but He made us worthy.

… He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
There are still many in this world who don’t know who the Lord Jesus really is. To some, He’s a great religious leader. But the Lord Jesus isn’t a mere religious leader; He’s God. You have to study the Word of God to discover this. In John 5:39, Jesus said, “Search the Scriptures, for they testify of Me.” Let me show you a few verses that prove this as you spread the GoodNews message this Christmas.
In our opening verse, He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” He’s one with the Father.
John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 says, “And the Word was made (became) flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” This refers to Jesus. So in celebrating Christmas, you’re celebrating the living and incarnate Word.
The Bible declares that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him bodily (Colossians 1:19, 2:9). He’s the complete embodiment of God. He is the “Christ” in the Christ-mas we’re celebrating. God came to us in the body of Jesus. This is worth celebrating!

Some Christians are often confused by the term righteousness. Let me briefly enlighten you. Righteousness is a gift, and there is nothing you do to earn it because it’s freely given. You are righteous through Christ no matter what bad you’ve done. The moment you surrendered your life to Christ, you became righteous. Then there is working out your salvation with godly reverence; you have to live the life of a righteous person. It’s called right living.
Some Christians say they want to manifest the glory of God in their lives, yet they don’t live right. But Christianity is a call to righteousness. The Christ-life in you must be lived accordingly, and the Word of God is your light. The proof of your love for Him is to do His Word; it’s to manifest His love and His character. His life and nature in you – His righteousness in you makes right living possible and easy.
The Lord Jesus has given you the victory over sin; therefore, walk in righteousness.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
If you’re still wondering why The Lord Jesus Christ came to this planet, the answer lies in our opening verse. God desires so much for you to have and enjoy life in abundance, meaning living life to the full, till it overflows!
It may be challenging for some to believe that He came for them to have life and enjoy it, especially if they’ve had a different experience for a long time. Life has beat them down to the point where they’ve settled for their pain and expect no less. That’s a sad life to live, especially if it’s the direct opposite of what God wants for them.
It’s your heavenly Father’s delight to see you healthy, vibrant, strong, joyful, and overflowing with life. Therefore, embrace His plan for you to have and enjoy life to the full. Be full of joy as you live a life of plenty, a life abounding in grace, peace and laughter in Jesus’ Name!

When your spirit takes a hold of God’s Word, there’s no telling what you can do; there’s no telling what you could be; there’s no telling what you could have – there’s no stopping you!
It doesn’t matter what limits have been placed on you; you might say you come from a bad family, you might say you have the wrong connections or that you grew up in a bad neighbourhood, or your education is not from a five-star establishment – it makes no difference – you’re open to infinite possibilities. The scripture above says ALL things are possible, not some. The only pre-requisite is to BELIEVE.
Do you believe your life could take a complete turn for the best today? The possibilities are there – just believe!

The Lord Jesus said in John 8:12, “… I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” You see, God’s Word is your compass; it illuminates your path.

If you follow His Word, you’ll never lose your way; you’ll prosper in all that you do.

Now we all know that apart from the glorious celebration of the birth of our Dear Lord Jesus Christ, the main reason for Christmas, the festive season is also synonymous with Christmas gifts exchanged among loved ones. Now, think for a minute, what would you say if the richest man on earth were to ask you what you'd like for Christmas? I can imagine the answers!
But what makes the best present? Take a look again at today's scripture. God is asking you the question. This is the Creator of the universe, not the world's richest man. His riches and wealth are far beyond human comprehension and materialism. He says in verse 8, "What do you want?" He immediately answers with the best response and says, "Nations as a present or continents as a prize?"
Do you see the difference between how God thinks and how most people think? If given the chance, many would call out for material things that have very little benefit compared to nations turning their hearts to God. Desire to evangelise this festive season. Give someone the ultimate gift, the best present, that is, salvation in the Name of Jesus!

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Remember that after His resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ's disciples were gathered in a room, with the doors and windows shut. Still, Jesus came into their midst through a wall. They initially thought He was a ghost, but He invited them to touch Him, emphasising that He had flesh and bones, unlike a ghost.
The scripture above emphasises that as He is, so are we in THIS world. Whether you feel like it or not doesn't make this truth any lesser. Outwardly, our divine nature, may not be obvious to the people of the world, but still the truth stands. We’re who God says we are—sons of God in this world. His very nature is in you. You have the ability to walk through walls; you can literally tell mountains to be cast into the sea, and they have no choice but to obey.

How often must one praise God? Is it once a week during Sunday services or when the ‘feeling’ comes on you? The scripture above holds a clear answer: it says praise God continually. Notice how it says ‘the sacrifice of praise’; that means you give Him praise in the good times and just as much in the bad times! It’s a sacrifice that is given continually; that is, daily give Him praise!
Praise simply means thanksgiving: thanking and exalting God’s Majesty and greatness, acknowledging Him in His acts of kindness for which you’re grateful and thankful. During this festive season, develop a greater desire to give God thanks, remembering how He gave us the ultimate sacrifice of His only Son, Our Dear Lord Jesus Christ. Sing new songs of thanksgiving to Him and praise Him daily. In this Year of Milk and Honey, He has kept you, and in this coming year, He shall continue to do so. Praise Him for that!

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.
Today’s passage of scripture is so loaded with a profound set of instructions on prayer that I’d like to break it down for you. Notice how we’re told the first thing to do when we enter a prayer closet. The instruction is to FIRST OF ALL, pray for ALL people with no reservations. So, you’re not rushing to pray for yourself first; you intercede for others. The next prayer is for those in positions of authority, kings, rulers of nations, etc.; notice, it doesn’t say pray for your preferred political party or leader – pray for all of them.
There are benefits to those prayers, and the scripture points these out right away. It says that when we do this, we live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. Praying this way pleases God, too. Remember, every soul matters to God, and it pleases Him when you put others first and intercede for them. Salvation is for everyone—pray for someone now.

When the Bible talks about "the former conversation of the old man," it's talking about former behaviour, former conduct or manner of life. Now that you’re enjoying life as a born-again child of God, you’re required to let go of things of old. The places you used to go, you cannot go anymore. The things you used to say or people you used to know, you cannot entertain anymore. According to the Word for today, these former behaviours are corrupt, and the renewal of one's mind is the only and best way forward.
Start your renewal process by thinking excellence and only seeing pictures of excellence. Focus your mind on things that are pure, just, honest, lovely, virtuous and of good report (Philippians 4:8). You can’t afford to continue with the old way of life; you’re different now. That old you died a long time ago; don’t feel guilty about that former you anymore.

There are two types of testimonies. First, there is testifying the Word. Simply put, you declare the Word of God as it concerns you. You say what the Word says. Secondly, there is the testifying of His works of grace and love. This is the one we shall focus on today.
Here is something you may not know: demons really can’t tell what you think or know, but when they hear your testimonies, they’ll transmit the message to their cohorts to stay away from you, because they can see that you know who you are. So, make it a habit to always testify of the power of God, the integrity of His Word, and the power of the Spirit in your life. Never consider anything the Lord does for you or through you to be too small to talk about. There’s power in your testimony to completely neutralize the adversary and cause him to back off. As we start to draw a close on the Year of Milk and Honey, you shall testify even the more in these last few days in Jesus’ Name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
By the word of my testimony, I have overcome the adversary and all adversities. The Lord’s power and glory shall be manifest in my life in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

1 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV)
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
It’s common to hear people say, “God is with you” or “God is among you.” While that is true, there is an even better one, which is God is IN you! There’s a distinct difference between these statements. Our God decided He didn’t want to continue simply being among His people or with them; He desired to be in them. That is exactly what we gained through the glorious act of salvation – the ultimate show of God’s love for us, His people! Let this reality dawn on you: this great God of glory, in all His fullness and power, lives in you!
Your body is His home. Everywhere you go, He goes. Your business is His too! You can never sing or pray for Him to draw nearer to you; He’s IN YOU ALREADY! Once you really catch this, it’ll change the way you think and the way you live; you’ll have a completely different outlook on life. Tell yourself, “Me and God, we are ONE. I’m joined to Him and I’m in glorious union with Him all the days of my life! Glory be to God!

My heart is the home of my Heavenly Father. I shall enjoy rich fellowship that causes a complete transformation in me, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
No one is more ambitious about our success than God our Father. Surprisingly, there are Christians out there who are afraid to let God have His way in their lives for fear of Him disturbing their dream career, dream life, etc. Based on today’s Word, there is simply no way God can ‘disturb’ a so-called ‘perfect’ plan for one's life. There is no perfect plan if God is not the author of it.
Remember, God loves you more than you love yourself; He is wiser than you could ever be, not forgetting that He created the whole world, including you! He knows everything inside you that no microscope can see. Not only does He know everything about you, He knows the perfect direction for you. Just tell Him you’re ready to be led by Him. Trust Him with your life. Stay at the centre of His will, and you’ll never lose. Be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and submit to His perfect dream for you.

1 Peter 2:6
Mark 8:36-37 (KJV)
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
The words of our Lord Jesus in today's verse are so powerful. It's so critical to understand that this world will surely be destroyed and replaced with another. How then can one be content with losing their very soul over something that is temporary? Eternal life with our Father is a permanent thing worth giving your life for.
How is it that in this last dispensation, with all the exposure and access we have to the Word of God, more and more Christians are exchanging their relationship with God for a relationship with sin? Take heed of our opening scripture today. Make a decision to not have one foot in church and the other in the world. You cannot be in these two places at once.
Live your life solely for the Lord with no compromise. Let your passion be all about the Gospel of Christ and spreading it around the world. Your soul is in jeopardy, and the distractions many. Some will be very cunningly devised: they will not look like you’re losing your soul. Beware! Nothing in this world is worth it – live for God and God alone!

From today, I recommit my life to living for God. My entire being is sold out to Him fully in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
There are Christians reading this message today who have no problem believing that as children of God, they’re not supposed to be oppressed by Satan, yet they experience continual satanic attacks and manipulations. They believe they're not supposed to be sick, yet they’re hardly in good health. They know peace and joy are their inheritance, but they can’t count how many times they had a sound, peaceful sleep or a joyful season in their home. These are serious errors, brothers and sisters, and this is how to rectify them using two simple principles.
First, have an accurate understanding of the Word. Don't just hear it for the sake of hearing or read it for the sake of just reading – strive to understand it! Secondly, if your words are inconsistent with the Word of God, your life, which is the outward manifestation of your words, will soon show exactly what is in your spirit. You can’t say the Word and act the flesh. Some are struggling because they don’t know these simple things. Understand the Word and live the Word. Don’t have the habit of always doing the opposite of all your prayers. Get Word knowledge today and live exactly as that Word says!

Any satanic manipulations designed to derail my faith are done away with by the Word of God in me in Jesus’ Name! IT IS DONE! Amen.

Joshua 1:8
Hebrews 1:7 (NIV)
In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”
There is a point you get to as a Christian where you're no longer commanding fire to come down; you ATTRACT FIRE, and you BECOME it!
Ever seen clothes, materials or substances written flammable? When you look at them, they look unassuming. You don't even think twice when you consider whether they're dangerous or not – at first glance they're completely harmless. The true nature of these garments becomes evident the moment they’re exposed to even the smallest spark. They catch fire quicker than you can quench it!
This is the true nature of a servant of God. You have been made flames of fire! When you woke up this morning and looked at yourself in the mirror, you might’ve looked unassuming, but when the need arises, you become fire; you’re completely unstoppable!
Nothing shall stand in the way of your flames today. You were made to be flames of fire. From today, the world shall watch you burn even brighter for Christ!

My God has made me flames of fire; what can I not do? I speak now that my life shall burn even brighter for God and bring Him glory in every area in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
What a powerful scripture this is, praise God! Do you see what this is really saying brothers and sisters? Okay, let's break it down: God came looking for you specifically, by name, found you in the midst of darkness to bring you out of the dark space that surrounded you and pulled you to Himself – to His light! Oh, what grace!
How can you behave like everyone else when darkness has been repelled from you? How can sickness dare reside in you, yet you're living in God's marvellous light? Don't join the world in its faithless ideals. Have you ever heard people use the common slang expression ‘I'm lit?' For as long as they are still living in darkness, they’re not the lit ones; we are! Every person who received the Lord Jesus Christ left darkness and now resides in God’s light.
You've been called to show and share with the world that same light you inherited in Christ! Do it today!

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Christianity is not boring. Contrary to what the world thinks – a relationship with God is anything but boring!
Take another look at the scripture above. It says in the presence of God, you’re guided in every road you take – there are no mistakes. And it doesn't stop there! There is fullness of Joy and pleasures that last a lifetime! Tell me, how can a relationship with God be boring and mundane? How can you fall with the wrong crowd looking for earthly pleasures? Forget the man-made pleasures of this life that are only temporary and come with a lot of regrets. God’s presence yields you untold pleasures – a sweet, stress-free life!
From this very moment, make fellowship with God a priority. Study the Word voraciously. Set aside times for prayer daily and experience pleasures forevermore this Christmas season and beyond!

If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Love is not as complicated as people think. Simply put, it's really backing up the affections you express with your words through your actions.
When it comes to God, the proof of your love for Him is to do His Word; it’s to manifest His love, His character. His life and nature in you—His righteousness in you—not only makes right living possible but easy also.
You can please God every day without having to struggle. Many think if you sing a beautiful worship song with all your heart while fasting, complete with tears and a fuzzy feeling inside, you've shown God love. The proof, according to the Word, is simple – live the Word; that's the proof you truly love HIM!
Why don't you go ahead and live the statutes and promises of God today? That's proof enough that you love Him!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I follow every word given by my Lord God Jehovah as proof of my love for Him. His commands are life to me, and I’m blessed to be surnamed with Him! Amen.

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
The opening scripture for today indicates there is a certain type of behaviour we're expected to have in the house of God. It is a decorum that ought to be followed by all Christians. You see, we are called as Kings and Priests, and as a result, called to carry ourselves in a way that shows reverence to the presence of our God whom we carry and represent.
Brothers and sisters, the deeper you go in God, the more restricted you become when it comes to negative behaviour. You cease to be the person you used to be—you become better! All of a sudden, you just know when your actions are untoward, you just know when your dressing in church is not correct, you just know when the way you talk to others is not the right way—it's a decorum, dignity that comes with being surnamed with Christ.
From today, strive to do better when it comes to the way you carry yourself and how you present Christ to others.

1 Corinthians 15:4 (AMP)
And that He was buried, and that He was [bodily] raised on the third day according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold].
Despite all the arguments and debates concerning His divine nature, Jesus needed only three days to prove to His critics and naysayers that He was God incarnate; three days were all He needed to show the difference between His divinity and humanity, and He did it in grand style!
All the miracles performed by Jesus were not enough to satisfy the sceptics of His day until He was crucified, died, buried, and rose again, all within three days; then they believed that He was truly the Messiah.
Jesus set the bar very high. The standard to vet who He truly was something that had never been done before. Someone can die, and another person raises them from the dead, but no one has ever risen from the dead by themselves!
Many Christians don't aim too high and miss; they aim too low and hit! Learn to aim very high in life. Aim high for your family, ministry, children, finances, and projects. God is more than enough. He is a God of surplus and overflow. Trust him, and He will bring it to pass!

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.
You need certain tools in the process of your formation through prayer. Remember, prayer is not for your information but for your formation. You need to understand that prayer goes with planning. Frustration comes in prayer due to a lack of planning.
As much as you can be led by the Spirit, you need to plan for your prayer. Ask yourself what is the objective of the prayer. Prepare your prayer points before you pray so that when the answers come, you'll recognize that your prayers have been answered.
Sometimes, you need to fast while engaging the force of prayer. Ministry has different assignments, and you need the energy of prayer and fasting to cover your assignment.
Prayer and faith go hand in hand, so while you pray for that car, that mansion, that contract, or that marriage, ensure that you use the God-kind of faith that will secure what you are praying for. Prayer brings a rich encounter with the Holy Ghost, so be expectant that God will speak to you in your prayer time.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
When Prophet Samuel anointed David as king of Israel, the Spirit of God came upon David (1 Samuel 16:1-13). In the New Testament, the Spirit of God is described as the Spirit with which we are sealed till the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). So, David was anointed King, and the Spirit that also serves as a seal was released upon him. He did not just receive the oil for the throne; he also received the seal that made him untouchable.
Do not fear. Do not lose sleep because of the enemy’s tricks. Do not panic over devilish schemes. Your business is sealed, your career is sealed, your children are sealed, your finances are sealed, your ministry is sealed, your family is sealed, and your life is sealed! For whom the son of man sets free is free indeed!

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The potency of Christianity is found in power as the differentiator. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God. Religion aspires to reach out to God, fearing His anger. That is the dichotomy with Christianity, for we know we serve a loving, caring and merciful God who, in His sovereign power, reached out to man. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. What manner of love has been bestowed upon us by the Father that we might be called the sons of God.
You are a child of God born of the spirit, not of the will of man or flesh, but by the Holy Spirit. This is the contrast that sets you apart. You are a new creation in Christ, in the world but not of the world. You belong to a foreign race that superimposes its will upon the elements of Earth. You are not subject to a life of mediocrity and want but of dominion, power, and prosperity.
Live your life as an overcomer and a pacesetter. You are royalty; act like one in this year of Milk and Honey!

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
Prayer is not for information but for your formation. Whilst the countries of the world base their population statistics on head counts, God takes a different approach. God records populations of cities and countries based on men of prayer! In a city of ten million, if only one million pray, to God, that city has one million inhabitants, not ten million.
In today's verse, God instructs men about what they ought to do. In fact, in Matthew 26:40, our Lord Jesus gives the minimum time span for a prayer to be recorded in heavenly books—one hour!
It is time to elevate your prayer life from five minutes, ten minutes, or thirty minutes to at least one hour to get the minimum score. The main thing in prayer is to optimise your formation process irrespective of how you feel; you must travail in prayer until the anticipated result is obtained. Push for it in this year of Milk and Honey; the results will be staggering, and your life and family's destiny will be overhauled!

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Over the years of my walk with God, wherever I go, I have observed that many Christians are enthusiastic and energised from the very moment a call to prayer in the Church is launched. The first five to ten minutes can be fiery, full of power and passion. However, as the prayer time progresses, it is obvious that prayer stamina is on the decline! People who started out screaming and shouting now speak in low tones.
Let me tell you this: Prayer is not a sprint; it is a marathon! Let your prayer mode and prayer life be steady and consistent. Where are you rushing, and who are you fighting? Learn to focus on prayer as a marathon, then push it in tongues as well, for the Bible says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” (Romans 8:26). Marathon Runners do not plan for seconds or minutes but hours to conquer unchartered territories, break new records, and become line crossers. Act like one today.

There are luminaries in the realms of the spirit who captured what I term the technology of priesthood and used it to do exploits for God. They journeyed beyond the curtain of time to tap into another realm where they transformed spiritual materiality into physical materiality.
The Word of God calls us kings and priests (Revelation.1:6), not prophets and priests! The prophet commands by the prophetic whilst the priest, through the technology of priesthood, has the advantage of enforcing what the prophet commands!
In Numbers 16:47, Notice that there was a deadly situation where the prophet, Moses, commanded (prophesied) whilst Aaron, the priest, enforced the prophetic decree as spoken by the prophet. When you understand that you are a priest, you can engage the technology of priesthood to stop any sickness ravaging your family, your neighbourhood, and your city! The technology of priesthood awakens in you the capacity to dominate, which is intrinsic to your office as a priest!

We see footballers starting their careers at a tender age, knowing that by a certain age, that gift or talent will no longer be expressed with tangible results.

The Greek word translated as 'eternal' is aiónios, which connotes a world without beginning and end—that which has always been and always will be! This is, in essence, the life of the age to come.

You have fire inside of you that can revive you, so no one can harm you. You are a walking, breathing, living, indomitable entity carrying God's headquarters in your very being.

Jesus, who defied the viscosity of water and walked on it, the same Jesus who multiplied five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish and fed five thousand men, not counting children, marvelled at no other thing or person than a "soldier."
The character of a soldier is obedience to authority! A true soldier takes instruction. A soldier protects the constitution, which for a Christian is the Bible, the Word of God. A true soldier honours ranks and takes orders. Are you ready today to be a true soldier of Jesus?
The Bible speaks of the men of God of old who hazarded their lives; they saw themselves as soldiers in the army of Christ! This last dispensation should be full of soldiers who understand that we are in a war zone and there is no neutrality. Therefore, be alert as a good soldier on the battlefield.

You can either choose to be a good soldier or a civilian! When you see yourself drawn into gossip that has the propensity to make you a gossiper, then you have become a civilian. When you are easily carried away by rumours and deceptions rather than the words of your Commander, the Lord Jesus, then you are a civilian. When prayer, fasting, and reading the Word of God become burdensome rather than exciting, you are a civilian. When sitting in Church for two hours agitates you, then you are a civilian.

Philemon 1:2
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
One of the many characteristics of being a soldier is the aptitude to always be ready when called to duty. A good soldier's readiness for battle on any day, week, month, or year suggests that battle readiness or preparedness is a lifestyle. A soldier on the battlefield must be in a mode to kill or be killed, and there is no neutrality as a man of war!
A Christian must understand that he is on the battlefield. As such, he must be ready to please the One who enlisted him, that is, King Jesus. Jesus says, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you." (John 15:16).
This is our mandate: go out and win more souls, and the souls won should abide or remain. Therefore, take Evangelism seriously, your assignment in ministry seriously, and your prayer life seriously. You are on a battlefield, and anything and every weapon needed to win the war must be mastered and deployed.

A battle axe is like a hammer in the hands of God to crush the advances of the enemy against your finances, your marriage, your children, and your career. When you take a stand, realising that you are a weapon of war, you can blast yourself off in prayer like an intercontinental ballistic missile and cause pandemonium in the camp of the enemy.
God will use you to bring His plans and purposes to pass. You are the one creation has been waiting for to manifest. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

Isaiah 41:15
Romans 4:20 (KJV)
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
Faith that does not waver is faith that triumphs. Abraham is a powerful example of unwavering faith. Romans 4:20 tells us that he "staggered not" at the promise of God through unbelief, which means he did not withdraw from what God said. Abraham did not allow circumstances or delays to make him doubt God's promise. He didn't entertain the ‘what ifs’—he remained steadfast, believing that what God promised, He would surely fulfil.
You, too, can have faith that does not stagger. When doubt creeps in, refuse to let life's challenges shake your faith. Instead, remind yourself that God cannot lie. Speak His promises over your life daily. Whenever doubt tries to infiltrate your mind, combat it with scripture. Fill your heart with His Word until it overflows with faith. As you do this, your faith grows stronger, and doubt loses its grip on you. Continue to give glory to God, knowing His Word is true and what He has promised will surely come to pass.

A generational captain does not get complacent or jump ship; they stick with it until their mission is complete. In the same way, as a child of God, refuse to let external forces get in the way of your calling and cause you to jump ship before you get to your destination. Refuse to listen to the voice of the devil. Instead, allow the Word of God to act as a mast and sail to propel you in all aspects of your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a generational captain! I will not sleep on the job. I refuse to let the enemy distract me from what God has called me to be. Amen.

Luke 15:7 (KJV)
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
From the senior pastors to the newest member of the congregation, you were called to win souls! In these end times, with all the distractions put in place by the devil to prevent God’s children from turning away from sin and back into the Father’s hands, returning those who rejected Him in the past back to him is at the very heart of God. The Bible tells us that the harvest is ready; it now requires you to go out and WIN!
It's surprising when people say they do not know what God has called them to be. The Bible is very clear: whether you're rich or poor, a preacher or a school janitor, you have been called to win souls.
Wherever you are, they are grounds for soul-winning. Do not be selfish with the Gospel of Jesus Christ; minister to everyone about the divinity of the King of kings and witness His wonders take shape in your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
By handling God’s business, He is taking care of mine! The harvest is ready for soul-winning, and I am a labourer in the field. I will win more souls this year than I have ever done before, in Jesus’ mighty Name! Amen.

Romans 1:16
1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV)
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
The words you speak can make or break your future! The Bible tells us there is not one word that is without signification, yet many Christians can be found saying things that they do not realise may be causing them harm!
In the realm of the spirit, regardless of intent or tone, every word you speak has its own meaning. Words are so powerful that your salvation is only established when you confess with your mouth! When you are facing a barrage of problems in your life, ask yourself, "What words am I speaking?"
Many think phrases such as "my feet are killing me" or "speaking of the devil" when referring to their child entering the room is harmless when that is not the case! Do not be surprised when you find yourself experiencing excruciating foot pains or when your child causes issues for you and in school because those are the words you released in the realm of the spirit! Learn to put a premium on your words; only release things that align with God’s infallible word.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I watch what I say! I understand the importance of the words I speak. I will only release words that uplift rather than destroy. I have put a premium on my speech! Amen.

Genesis 1:28 (KJV)
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Produce and multiply! Whilst many people can only recognise this scripture within the context of Adam and Eve, this passage can be applied to all areas of the Christian experience! God has already given us the mandate to live a life of produce and abundance.
Though this is what God desires for His children, many Christians are not living a life of abundance because they have not learnt the secret to prosperity. The secret to prosperity is God has already given you all things that pertain to life and godliness, including prosperity!
The Bible says you have been given dominion over all living things upon this Earth! This means there is no person on Earth that has the power to disrupt what God has already made available to you. Live with a spring in your step knowing you have the mind of Christ and no business or field is impossible for you to dominate. God has given you the secret to prosper!

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks forever!
There is celebration that has the power to produce results! Many problems faced by Christians today can be overcome through the power of praise and celebration. The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people, meaning wherever holy celebration is, God is there also. As a child of God, it is important to not only worship in celebration but to do so in spirit and in truth!
The word 'conducive' means tending to cause or produce something.
Scripture shows us several instances where the power of God is exercised through a conducive celebration. One example is when Paul and Silas were imprisoned. In the midst of the jail cell, they knew the conducive power of celebration was present. As they sang hymns praising the Lord, the prison’s very foundations were shaken, and they were freed of their shackles. In the same way, God is right there when you worship, ready to lose the shackles that are holding your life in bondage. Utilise the power of a conducive celebration today!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
God inhabits my praises! I recognise the power celebration even during turmoil. In this year, I will celebrate more than ever before! Amen.

Joshua 23:14 (NIV)
Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.
Everything the Lord has promised those who follow Him has already been fulfilled! Despite this, many Christians are still sick, broke, or facing tribulations in their lives. Why? Because many have yet to walk in the reality of God’s Word.
As Christians, it is our duty to live out the Lord's promises. When we refuse to apply and revere the Word of God, the Bible becomes nothing more than letters on pieces of parchment!
We must learn to trust in the promises God has declared in His Word in absolutely every area of our lives. The scripture above assures us that not one of God’s promises has failed. When you truly walk in this reality, worry and stress cannot consume you! Things like riches, good health, and prosperity are not just mere promises but promises that have already been fulfilled! Walk in the consciousness that all things have been made available for you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Every promise from the Lord is already fulfilled in my life! Today, I walk in the reality that all God's promises are mine, and I claim my blessings in every area of my life!

David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD should be of great magnificence and fame and splendor in the sight of all the nations. Therefore, I will make preparations for it." So David made extensive preparations before his death.
There is a saying I often relate to my listeners, "Opportunity meets preparation." What an accurate statement! As a Christian, it is important to prepare for God’s blessings in your life! In the world, phrases such as ‘hope for the best, prepare for the worst’ and ‘plan for the worst-case scenario’ are extremely popular; but such expressions should never be adopted by a child of God!
In times of drought, those who make adequate preparations to sow in years of good rain will be the ones with full storehouses of grain in years of drought. Even the Lord Jesus Christ’s coming had to have forerunners to prepare for His coming for the maximum impact of His ministry.
With preparation, nothing God has called you to accomplish will fail! Start preparing for that marriage, that ministry, that business you’d like to start, and so on. Receive grace to know exactly how to prepare for an abundance in this year of Milk and Honey!

I always prepare for the best! This year, all I have prepared for is coming to fruition, in Jesus Name! Amen.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the most remarkable personality that ever graced this world! He gave us the ideas and right thinking to create positive change around the world just as He did. He helps us know how to be successful, how to dominate the circumstances around us, and how to navigate the environment we have been subjected to!
Refuse to see yourself as anything less than remarkable. Begin to reject the life of the ordinary because you are anything but ordinary. God has designed you to be a winner; lack and poverty are not in your genetic make-up.
The Bible tells us that our Father owns cattle on a thousand hills! Does He sound poor to you? Of course not! Just as your Father is rich, He has made all that belongs to Him available for those who follow Him. It doesn’t matter if your bank account is in the red or the bailiff is at your house’s door; speak to your situation. You are rich in Christ; you are just discovering your riches!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Poverty is a curse. I refuse it now! I serve a God who does not lack anything; God has given me a mind built for success. I will not fail because I am not a failure. Poverty is not my portion! Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV)
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
In the realm of the spirit, the older you get in the natural realm, the younger your spirit becomes! Even as our outward bodies perish, our spirit is youthful! This is why fasting is a technology in the spirit. When you fast, you are straining your body, allowing it to perish outwardly whilst your spirit is strengthened inwardly!
An accomplished professor conducted a study to find ways to reverse ageing. During his research, he found that all the genes responsible for making you younger are there but never activated! After various tests and theories, he found that these inactive genes could be activated only through excessive stress—not stress in the sense of worry or mental fatigue but straining your body by pushing it to extremes!
In the Bible, we see people who, like Moses, reached a point where the youthfulness of their spirit manifested outwardly! Even in his old age, Moses' eyesight was as sharp as that of a younger man. As a Christian, use tools such as fasting to rejuvenate your spirit! When you use these God-given technologies, things like sickness and fatigue will flee from you!

In righteous shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear, and far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear, and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
Turbulent times come to test God-given peace and tranquillity! As the world approaches its end, the devil is trying to disrupt the joy and peace that was bestowed on each child of God. Despite his attacks, you must remain solid and grounded in righteousness.
Whilst the peace in the world is ever-changing and unstable, the Lord Jesus Christ offers peace that remains unshaken in times of heavy turbulence and turmoil. The Word of God is clear: there is absolutely no weapon that has ever been designed that can destroy you! When you have fully realised who and what God has called you to be in this life, any plan of the enemy to disrupt your peace will fall flat.
Learn to trust in the Lord, as He has already won the battle for you! Refuse to let worry, fear, stress, or doubt shake your God-given tranquillity! Your foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ; you are immovable!

John 14:27
John 14:13 (KJV)
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
There is absolutely nothing that you can ask for that God will not provide! God’s desire and will is for you to succeed in your life; however, just because God wills you to be rich doesn’t mean you are rich – YET! You must act on the Word of God so you can let His will manifest in your life!
In the verse above, the Lord Jesus says if you ask in His name, that thing He will do. The word ‘that’ means you must be specific in your asking. Specificity sparks your desired outcome! The Bible reaffirms this in the book of Matthew when it says, say unto this mountain be thou removed … those things which he saith shall come to pass. The word ‘this’ implies you must be specific in your commanding also!
Be confident in the inherent power God has placed inside of you! Do not limit God by only asking for things you think He is capable of providing; instead, ask beyond even your wildest imaginations and watch God give them to you according to the level of your faith!

When I ask in Jesus’ name, I am specific! I know God has the power to supply all my needs, even beyond my wildest dreams! Amen.

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.
Jesus has assured us that we have victory over all circumstances and crises! Fear, terror, and worry should not be part of the Christian experience! The Bible tells us that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and love, and of a sound mind! This means fear is a gift; the gift giver being the devil himself!
Never allow phrases like “I’m scared” to creep into your vocabulary, for it is not of God but of the devil! As a child of God, your confidence should be derived from the knowledge of the One who resides on the inside of you.
When you feel worried or panicked, remember the words of Apostle John, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them!” For every battle you will ever face, God has given you the tools and facilities to overcome them! Refuse fear, worry, and stress, and gain confidence in the Lord who has already won the battle for you!

It has been said that cemeteries are the epicentre of unrealised hopes and dreams—the final resting place for countless directors, singers, artists, and others whose gifts and ideas never fully materialised. What an unsettling reality!
Many have lived without fully harnessing God’s calling upon their life! Yet, the verse above says you must work diligently to make your calling and election sure! The word diligent means ‘constant in effort to accomplish something; attentive and persistent in doing anything.’ If you are truly pulled by God’s undeniable call on your life, you must make a persistent and attentive effort to make your calling sure!
Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that just because they're born again, they're living according to God’s plan for their life. This is far from the truth! If that was the case, Paul wouldn’t have told a young minister (Archippus) to make sure he fulfilled God’s calling! Today, make the decision to follow what God has called you to be and actively pursue it without excuse!

Colossians 4:17
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith, at its basic component, is an argument between you and the devil: what does the King of kings say about you and your situation versus what the devil says concerning your life! Your victory in this argument depends solely on your knowledge of God’s Word. The Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, meaning faith comes by hearing, and hearing is produced by reading the Word of God! If you lack faith regarding whatever you're going through, the Word of God is your remedy!
Allow the words to fly off the pages and act as a shield and defence against the lies of the enemy! When the devil says you're weak, let your response be, "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me!" When the devil says you're sick, declare, "My God supplies all my needs!"
The Word of God operates as the foundation of our faith. Learn to use it as a source of defence when the enemy attacks. When armed with the basic faith component, you are untouchable!

Romans 10:17
Luke 4:4 (KJV)
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
The above verse shows us the Lord Jesus’ response to one of Satan’s temptations and gives us perfect insight into how the Word of God can be applicable in our lives. When He says man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word of God, He was not referring to the logos of God but the rhema!
The logos is the Word of God that encapsulates His thoughts, plans, purpose, character, and personality, but rhema is a spoken and active word from God to a specific person for a specific purpose at a particular time! A rhema word has the power to rebuild you in your time of need; this is why the prophetic is extremely important. When you receive a rhema word from God, it blesses you because it's exactly what you need at that moment.
For example, you may be experiencing hardships in your life, and suddenly, you receive a word from the Lord saying, “Lo, I am with you always.” This verse was penned centuries ago, yet it becomes rhema when the Holy Spirit brings it to you concerning whatever your situation may be!

Romans 8:11 (NIV)
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
The Church has a self-healing mechanism. When you became a child of God, you were given eternal life, meaning you do not need healing! Whatever sickness or infirmity attempts to attach itself to you can be immediately dispelled when you stir up the gift of God in you! The Bible says that if the same Spirit who raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead resides in you, He will revitalise your mortal body.
Despite this, many Christians today are still tortured by small ailments such as a cold or headaches. Why? The Bible tells us that God’s people die due to a lack of knowledge! So, when Christians still suffer from diseases, it's simply because they have not invested enough time to fully realise the power they possess.
When you begin to study God’s Word, you'll see the life He intended for all His children. Refuse to be bound by the chains of sickness or disease; instead, be confident in your God-given ability to self-heal.

Christ saved you from being bound by feelings. Therefore, you must live above the circumstances and choose to optimize the joy God has given you freely through Christ Jesus. Optimizing God-given joy means fully taking advantage of what God gave you when you became a born-again follower of Christ!
The principle of the Kingdom is what you see is what you get. When you look with your optical eyes and things are not how you want them to be, lift your sight! See with the eyes of the spirit; view your situation from the perspective of the One who has delivered you from it! Live above your situations today, and adopt a joyful nature rather than a life fuelled by your feelings!

Whether it’s a relationship with your spouse, a relationship with your children, or even business relations, no relationship will survive without exchanging dialogue. In the same way as a child of God, you must be joined in comradery with the Holy Spirit!
Many suffer the tribulations of this world alone simply because they do not know there's an Ever-Present Help who is ready to assist them at any point. The Holy Spirit is a personable being, meaning you must speak to Him like a person! Tell Him all about your day, your struggles, your achievements; tell Him everything and anything! He's there to help you.
The Holy Spirit is a precious gift given to you freely the moment you accepted Christ! When the Holy Spirit is truly on the inside of you, there is no other power you will ever need because the very source of power Himself resides on the inside of you!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
The verse above is among the most recited verses in all of Christendom! Despite this, many do not fully understand what was meant by this powerful passage. When the Lord Jesus ministered this message, He did not mean eternal life only in the sense of living forever!
Whilst this is an aspect of what is given to you as a child of God, the words "eternal life," in their original rendering, translate to Zoe, meaning life as God has it! The eternality of His description has to do with His endless power, His endless mercy, His endless ability, His endless knowledge. Whatever is consistent with His divine nature is eternal! When you were born again, that same life was imparted on your spirit!
Christ has given you the God-kind of life; this means as His child, you have been designed to live a life of eternal excellence! Failure is not in your genetic make-up; you have an endless capacity to be excellent and do great in any and every arena in this year of Milk and Honey!

Who you choose to attach yourself to can directly tie in with the blessings you receive! In the verse above, we see Laban conversing with Jacob, simply saying, "I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me because of you!" In other words, Laban attributed his success to the blessings that God had bestowed on Jacob’s life!
In Christendom today, many do not realise the significance of who they choose to associate themselves with. The Bible tells us that the righteous choose their friends wisely; this is why it is paramount that you make sure those you spend time with align with your individual calling or vision God has placed on your life.
When you encircle yourself with people who do not help forward your walk with Christ, the ramifications can be extremely dangerous. Your friends or acquaintances have the power to be the reason for your frequent storms, or they could be responsible for your instantaneous rise!

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Many countries have agencies tasked with protecting important figures. Before an important person can enter a room, they search for potential threats. After their inspection, only authorized personnel are allowed entry. The room is arranged according to the specific needs of the dignitary to allow for ease of movement and clear lines of sight. Everything is prepared to create a secure and conducive environment for the successful execution of what is planned. Prayer operates in a similar function.
Prayer is a messenger – a protocol, a steward, an usher in the spirit that goes ahead of you. Before entering your new month, prayer has already surveyed the terrain and neutralized potential threats. Prayer ensures only what you authorize can enter your new month, shaping and tailoring the environment for your specific needs and setting the stage for the successful execution of God's plan for you.
As we approach the dawn of a new month, set the stage for a month flowing with milk and honey for you. As God's VIP, embrace the opportunity to step into a new month that has been thoroughly prepared by prayer.

I’m the proud father of four sons and countless spiritual sons and daughters. Like any father, I eagerly watch as they grow and mature, anticipating the day they surpass my own achievements. I don’t want them to be as good as me; I want them to be better! Just as a father’s heart swells with pride watching his sons and daughters surpass his own accomplishments, so too does our heavenly Father delight in our growth, our ability to do more and better, and to have more than we ever imagined.
God takes no pleasure in seeing His sons and daughters suffering. He doesn’t smile when they are sick, and neither is He happy when His chosen ones are broke, busted, and disgusted. What gives Him pleasure is your prosperity.
Prosperity isn't just monetary – it's so much more. It encompasses your overall welfare – good health, loving relationships, peace and contentment, and receiving favour. It's all inclusive! Your prosperity pleases God greatly! Decide today to prosper in every way possible. Let the Lord be magnified, proud, honoured, and greatly pleased because of your prosperity!

Viscosity is a fascinating characteristic! It measures how easily a substance can move. Honey is a perfect example of viscosity in action. Honey’s high viscosity means it doesn’t flow as easily as other liquids. But here’s the secret: its flow can be influenced by factors such as temperature. When honey is warm, it flows more easily. Another factor that affects honey’s flow is its moisture content. Less moisture leads to thicker honey, which flows more slowly. On the other hand, higher moisture levels can make honey flow more easily.
Honey is more than just a sweet treat – it symbolises abundance. For the remainder of this year, focus on increasing the flow of God’s abundance in your life. Warm your honey with praise and thanksgiving to God. Warm honey encourages the absorption of moisture, and that moisture comes from the water of the Word! Get more of the Word into your spirit and in your mouth. As you do these things, abundance, prosperity, and blessings will flow into your life with ease!

Has there ever been a time when you felt unseen, unrecognized, and forgotten? Even in this year of Milk and Honey, hearing about all the wonderful things happening in the lives of others, you watch as others laugh and rejoice and find yourself wondering when it will be your turn to celebrate.
We serve a God who understands what it’s like to be forgotten. He said, “My people have forgotten Me” (Jeremiah 18:15). He wants us to know that He will never forget us, to the extent that He has tattooed our names on His hands. Whenever He opens His hand of favour and blessing, your name is there. When He opens His hand to guide, comfort, and protect, your name is there.
Be comforted by this truth – you’re forever remembered by the One who matters most, and the year is not over.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Money doesn’t change one’s character; it simply amplifies the character that is already there. That’s why someone can get a million dollars today, and by next week, they will be in the same state they were in before they became a millionaire – or worse! Some people find themselves skyrocketing to the upper echelon of financial wealth only to come crashing down because they mismanaged their finances. Their riches are here today and gone tomorrow. No wonder the Bible says that riches can disappear in the blink of an eye, and wealth can sprout wings and fly off into the wild blue yonder (Proverbs 23:5).
It’s not easy to be rich. There’s a certain mindset that rich people possess that keeps them rich, and the lack of it keeps poor people broke. Being rich requires focus, tenacity and the development of your character so that you master money instead of money mastering you. Riches are a side effect of wisdom. Therefore, be wise. Don’t focus only on increasing your money; increase your wisdom also so that as money comes, money stays.

Mark 1:35 (KJV)
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Jesus' life was marked by a profound emphasis on prayer. His demonstration of wisdom, boldness, and supernatural signs and wonders were prefaced by communication with the Father. He often withdrew to solitary places to immerse Himself in prayer, sometimes throughout the night. Even in the critical hours before His crucifixion, Jesus sought solace, direction and strength, pouring out in intense, soul-stirring prayer. It is clear that His disciples recognized the power and impact of Jesus' prayers when they implored the Master, “Teach us to pray!”
Therein lies a lesson for you, too! To truly experience the depth of power and supernatural authority that Jesus wielded, you must first emulate His commitment to prayer. Many pursue miracles, signs, and wonders, eager to demonstrate the supernatural, yet neglect the key that unlocks it all - prayer. As Jesus demonstrated, prayer isn't just about receiving information or asking for things; it's about transformation. Prayer is not for information. It is for your formation. Quality is copied. Dare to replicate the quality of Jesus' prayer life. Make prayer a priority, not an option. Start today. Pray!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I dare to replicate the quality of Jesus' prayer life. Prayer is not an option but a priority in my life. I choose to pray! Amen.

Proverbs 4:20 (KJV)
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Every Christian has access to God’s prescription for healing – His powerful Word. Just as a doctor prescribes medicine to cure our physical ailments, God prescribes His Word to heal our bodies and souls. His Word is filled with promises of healing and restoration for whatever ails us. When sickness dares to invade your body, believe His Word and exercise faith in His healing promises.
Faith requires action. Just as medicine needs to be taken daily for full effectiveness, so should God’s Word be taken daily. Meditate on the Word, particularly scriptures that relate directly to the condition you’re dealing with. Confess those scriptures over your body, and act on your belief by doing what you couldn’t do before.
God’s healing power is not a remote possibility but a reality ready to unfold in your life. As you take God’s medicine, no longer look for the symptoms or pain. Instead, look for your healing and live in the radiant health He desires for you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I speak life and health to my body and soul. My body is vitalized. I decree and declare I am sound and strong in Jesus’ Mighty Name!

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Some believe it is godly to be poor. What nonsense! Throughout scripture, God befriends rich people. In fact, the Bible says that though the Lord was rich, He became poor (by Heaven’s standards) so that we might be rich.
Another false belief is that you must apologize for being wealthy or desiring abundance. You don't have to apologize for your desire for abundance any more than you need to apologize for wanting an abundance of health, wisdom, or air to breathe!
Our God is wealthy and desires the same for His children. So, dismiss these misconceptions about the supposed godliness of poverty. They are mere distractions from the truth of His Word.
As you continue to prosper this year, be unapologetic! Testify of His goodness, and make your achievements known, demonstrating unashamedly the richness of God’s grace and abundant blessings in your life. You owe no apologies for making the Word work. Go ahead and show off what the Lord has done for you unapologetically!

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Setting and going after your goals is a powerful way of exercising your faith. Goals are not merely hopes or dreams but concrete, achievable outcomes. Setting clear goals helps us stay focused and directs our faith towards a specific result.
The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." (Romans 10:17). That means the Word has the power to give you hearing ability. It is through that hearing ability that faith comes. However, faith is like a muscle: it must be exercised. Practice it. Use your faith on little things to start – things that will not make much difference if they do not come to pass – until you get results consistently. Then, as your faith gets stronger, set bigger goals.
In this year of Milk and Honey, be intentional about setting goals and exercising your faith to reach them. The formula is simple: increase your faculty of hearing through the Word, then as faith comes, set your goal and go for it!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I seize every opportunity before me with boldness and determination. In this year of Milk and Honey, I pursue my dreams and accomplish them by faith! I am well able to overcome any obstacle and achieve my goals, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
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.
One of the saddest laments in the Bible was uttered by God Himself when He said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Notice, it does not say people in general, but My people, specifically. He’s talking about His own Blood-bought, Spirit-filled Christians – heirs of all He has and joint-heirs with Christ - perishing because of what they don't know. The worst part, however, is the reason given: because they reject knowledge.
The Bible contains the Word of God, thereby making it the most knowledgeable book available on Earth. It contains the Wisdom of God that, when applied, saves you from destruction.
You can't afford not to be in the Word. The Word ought to be studied; it ought to be read in your home. Read it to your little ones, and encourage those who are mature enough to read it for themselves. God wants you to collect riches like dust, but that can't happen as long as your Bible collects dust. The Word is your surety. Read it, live long, and prosper!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Some things we're requested to do by God are burdens of the Spirit where He gives us the opportunity to respond. Then there are things we are summoned to do. A summons requires an altogether different response. It does not come with options and cannot be silenced; it demands 100% compliance. The problem is that one can be summoned and not know it.
A widow was summoned to feed Prophet Elijah. She was commanded to sustain him (1 Kings 17:9) but had no idea she’d been summoned. She just found herself in the place where summons and opportunity could meet. That’s what is happening for you this year!
God released a compelling ability to make you prosper like never before. He has summoned money to come to you. Just as light had no option but to appear when God commanded, "Light be!" your house, that car, your marriage, your health, and your money are compelled by the Spirit to come to you. So, pay attention to His summons, for they will lead you to where prosperity and opportunity meet.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Quench not the Spirit.
Poverty and lack are proof that someone somewhere quenched the Spirit. The Bible tells us that time and chance happen to us all (Ecclesiastes 9:11), meaning rich and poor alike are given opportunities to prosper. The reality is some are comfortable living with the demon of poverty and laying personal claim to their sickness. They refuse to accept the possibility and reality of God’s desire to prosper them by ignoring the thoughts and ideas the Holy Spirit provides through the Word of God to change their situation.
You see, it's impossible to imagine something that's impossible for you to have. Your desires to have multi-million or billion-dollar businesses, properties all over the world, a garage of luxury cars, perfect health and a happy home are possible.
When those thoughts come to you, do not rebuke them. Instead, understand that the Holy Spirit creates in you the desire for things that are rightfully yours. Anything that falls within the scope of what the Word of God says you can have, you can have! Believe it, and don’t be ashamed or afraid to go after it!

In the fear-charged atmosphere of our present world, people cannot help but feel the disquieting hum of uncertainty. 'Doomsday prepping' is trending, with wealthy billionaires investing their fortunes in underground compounds and 'survival condos' to hedge against unforeseeable turmoil. This reflects the accuracy of the Word of God: men’s hearts will fail because of fear (Luke 21:26).
Yet God always provides a place of safety for those who are His. The children of Israel dwelt safely in Goshen, immune to the plagues of Egypt. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and escaped the destruction of the flood in the ark God instructed him to build. Ultimately, God’s people will be caught away, safe from the enemy’s wicked onslaught that will besiege the Earth.
Despite the palpable fear that surrounds us, we are reminded of the promised land – a place of refuge – where God’s people can dwell securely without fear of oppression or enemies. It reminds us that we are heavily protected, heavily guarded, and heavily defended – GOD PROTECTED! His protection transcends any physical stronghold billionaires may construct.

He is our Nourisher and Sustainer, the perfect provider of all that is essential, from the spiritual to the physical. Just as milk is a trusted source of calcium, vitamin D, and proteins that fortify our bones and muscles, so is God's Word, nourishing us with spiritual nutrients for our spirits, souls, and bodies.
His supplies are never-ending, plentiful, and tailored to meet our individual needs so that we would never be deficient in any aspect of our health. You are supplied and supported spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, and in every way. As the old preacher said, no far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supplies. Glory be to God!

Proverbs 23:4 (KJV)
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
We live in a hustle-and-get-rich-quick culture, leading some to labour endlessly to pursue riches. However, Proverbs 23:4 offers a different perspective that dissuades us from such tireless pursuit. It tells us we should not wear ourselves out trying to get rich. In other words, it should not be a struggle. Instead, it urges us to cease from our own wisdom and lean not on our understanding when it comes to getting rich. It is a powerful reminder that it is not through ceaseless toil and self-reliance that we find prosperity but through the wisdom that God freely offers. This wisdom surpasses all earthly understanding and promises not just wealth but wealth that comes without toil or strife.
This truth is echoed beautifully in Ecclesiastes 10:10, which reminds us that wisdom sharpens the axe, giving us the advantage, we need to conquer. Without this wisdom, we merely swing a dull axe, exhausting ourselves needlessly. But with God's wisdom, any challenge life throws our way is felled effortlessly. This is the advantage and success that wisdom brings. Explore the wealth of business wisdom in the Bible. Sharpen your skills with wisdom and enjoy sweatless victories!

Numbers 14:36 (MSG)
So it happened that the men Moses sent to scout out the land returned to circulate false rumours about the land causing the entire community to grumble against Moses—all these men died. Having spread false rumours of the land, they died in a plague, confronted by God.
One of the most tragic accounts in history occurred when the children of Israel arrived at the promised land. After wandering in barren desert places for so long, they became accustomed to noticing only lack. When some were sent to investigate the new territory and report back, all but two returned with what God calls “an evil report” – false rumours about perceived, fear-based danger. As a result of their complaints, they and all who joined them in complaining died without possessing the promised land.
God takes complaining personally. Why? Because every complaint affronts His goodness, faithfulness, and provision. He brought you into the promised land with all its benefits and blessings. So, if your body shows you symptoms that don’t look like a promise, cast them out! If your bank balance tries to convince you that you’re broke, never believe it! These are false rumours! Refuse to focus on any perceived problem. Focus instead on the plenty God has provided. Look for your abundance and possess it no matter what!

Worker bees toil tirelessly to produce the most delicious honey. Not only do they collect nectar and transform it into honey, but they also are responsible for packaging and protecting the precious resource. Despite their immense effort in honey production, they're only allowed to consume enough to continue their laborious work. This is the story of sinners who strive to accumulate wealth. Little do they realize their efforts are meant to bless YOU.
According to the Bible, every sinner is unknowingly working for the benefit of God’s righteous heirs. God allows sinners to gather and amass riches, assigning them a life of hard labour, just so they end up turning their wages over to God’s favourites. The riches they worked for are meant for the righteous - the Christians. God was carefully orchestrating these “worker bees” to store up wealth specifically for you. This is the year you've been waiting for! Use every opportunity to harvest every “honeycomb” that has been safeguarded for this very moment, and take over all that has been stored up for you!

All the wild animals of the forest belong to me!All the cows on a thousand hills belong to me!
Different breeds of cows have been selectively bred for milk production. In the United States, the Holstein cow is widely recognized as the breed that produces the most milk. A Holstein can produce around 22,000 to 23,000 pounds of milk on average when it is actively producing. That's around 75 to 90 pounds (or 9 to 11 gallons) of milk daily during peak lactation.
Now, today’s scripture tells us the cows (plural) on a thousand hills belong to God. If there were just 1,000 hills and only one Holstein on each of them producing milk at their peak, that would produce up to 2.7 million gallons of milk in a day! For a rough estimate, let's assume an average price of $3 per gallon. That’s about $8 million in one day! Believe that’s possible for you!

Honey is often praised for its potential benefits for the skin. Applying honey can help hydrate and moisturize your skin, making it more supple and radiant. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. It also has natural antibacterial properties, which support wound healing.

He did not need to go through periods of adolescence or puberty, waiting to become what God intended Him to be or to possess what God wanted him to have. Instead, God, in His sovereignty, condensed time so that Adam would not need to go through stages to get all that God had provided for him. The same is true for you.

The devil is a spiritual being who's spiritually dead because of his disengagement with the Giver of Life. There are things he'll never know about you unless you update him on your own. From the days of Adam, his approach was to find out information from men and pervert it for his own advantage. He can only tell that you are really sick or struggling by what you do or say. He takes notes and plots a graph from the coordinates you give him through your words and actions.
When negativity is spoken or any form of discontent is expressed, he'll use that as a gateway to attack. That’s why your Bible says, "Let the weak say I’m strong," not because they are strong already. Whilst they're still weak, discouraged or broke, they should say I am rich and blessed.

A balanced diet is a meal or feeding schedule comprising all the required nutrients for your body. When something lacks or is given in excess, symptoms appear in the form of stunted growth, diseases, etc. The same applies in the spiritual realm.
You need all the components or benefits of salvation to be active in your life. When you're enjoying one part and lacking in another, it distorts the glory of God. God wants to reveal His glory through you, which only happen if you have a spiritually balanced diet.
Prophet Isaiah reveals that inside salvation, there are many "wells:" wells of health, prosperity, education, and all. For example, when you see someone very rich but sick, it’s because they drew water from the well of prosperity but missed the well of divine health.

Rise up today and enjoy all the benefits of your salvation in the Name of Jesus. Your past is totally over - nonexistent! Not only are you forgiven, but you don’t have a sin committed. You are totally new!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a new creature in Jesus Christ. The righteousness of Christ is upon me. There is no condemnation for me in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
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.
People perish not because of illiteracy but because they lack godly knowledge. Whenever Christians are ignorant, territories are lost. The biggest loophole for losses is ignorance. The enemy uses what you don’t know to deceive and steal from you.
God Himself confirmed that His people perish not because of a curse spoken over them but because of a lack of information. Get into the Word of God and bring enlightenment to your spirit. The Word of God in your spirit removes scales from your eyes, and you start to see things clearly.
Make a deliberate commitment to feed on the Word of God day and night. Read your Bible and listen to messages that bring light to your spirit. When you have light through the knowledge of God, it becomes easy to take over territories. It gives you efficiency in executing assignments. Go for the Word, and you'll come back with a testimony!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Word of the Lord is more than light in my soul. My ways are open for success and promotion in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

NATURE OF LOVE
Romans 5:5 (KJV)
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Anything we call nature or natural is something that comes out naturally or is an inborn trait that we cannot erase. Today's scripture tells us love is our nature. Old Testament folks needed to be commanded to love, but not me and you. Our hearts are marinated in love! We are soaked into Jesus' love; hence, we don’t need to be commanded to love - it just comes out as naturally as breathing, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, we don't love by commandment but by nature.
Choose to be a minister of reconciliation to your family and friends. Jesus Christ is coming back and there's no room for adversity, grudges, or enmity. There's someone you might not be talking to because of a small mistake or misunderstanding, but today is a day to make everything right. There's a Heaven to gain or lose. Don’t lose it because of hatred. Love by nature because your heart is marinated in love by our Lord Jesus Christ.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I love not by commandment but by nature. I forgive those who wronged me and pray that those who I wronged will forgive me too. I offload all anger, hatred and adversity in the Name of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
If you have four broke friends, you will definitely be the fifth. I don't need to prophesy; I can tell where you are going just by seeing your company. The people you surround yourself with either add or take away value from your life. Your network is your net worth. The Bible says bad company or communications corrupt character. That means the people you relate with have the power to corrupt or build you.
Today, take time to reflect and do an introspection of your own radius. If there are people who are not adding value to you, there's no need to keep them. Keep only those who add value to your life and help you be a better person. In this year of Milk and Honey, there's no room for those who are not adding anything to your life, physically or spiritually. Check your phone book; scroll through all the numbers. Look for those who are not adding value to your Christian walk, business or anything. It’s high time to prune them and make better relationships that will benefit you and the Kingdom.

I decree and declare that my company shall be of value. My eyes are opened to see those who benefit the kingdom of God. My radius is blessed in the Name of Jesus.

There's unrest in the world as economies are crumbling, markets crashing, and economic depression seems imminent. Some Christians are wondering how they will get through this. The only strategy is to refuse to participate. Let those in darkness cry, but as for you, know that you are God's ambassador, and your supply is from on high.
The Bible says we are in this world but we are not of this world. Don't listen to the voice of the devil. We are not limited to this Earth where there is lack, depression and poverty. We are supplied by the economy of Zion. When the world says there is a going down, we shall say there is a lifting up.
As you read this prophetic message, you shall find answers from the strangest places. You are not a participant in chaos and disaster. Your milk and honey shall flow even in the desert. Your ground shall produce to its maximum capacity in the Name of Jesus.

I am born from above and my supply is from on high. I shall live a life of milk and honey this year in the Name of Jesus.

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day and night.
When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord was a pillar of fire at night and a cloud at noonday. The desert is very harsh; it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day. With such knowledge, God gave them a tailor-made climate and environment to protect them from the harsh conditions.
There is a dimension where you start giving testimonies that others cannot comprehend. It will be like fiction because God is giving you your own tailor-made environment. When others say things are going down, you shall be saying there's a lifting up. Remember, you're an ambassador of Heaven; you are fed and supplied from above.
There's nothing to fear because we are in the world but not of this world. Our environment is from above. We live a life of milk and honey! You shall not lack any good thing in this life. You are provided for day in and day out till rapture. Amen.

Some Christians know Christ is a spiritual entity in the Godhead; some know him as a fatherly figure who is ready to receive your requests and plights, but brothers and sisters, Jesus is more than that. The Bible says in Jesus we live, move and have our being. There is a better revelation where you know Jesus as a location; we move inside His environment.
His environment is superior to all the challenges of this life. You shall bulldoze through anything because you embody the atmosphere of Jesus. Anything that attempts to stop you is considered a declaration of war in the heavens. Nothing can stop you when living inside of Christ. You are invincible and untouchable in the Name of Jesus.

Psalm 119:130 (KJV)
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Some Christians sing "this little light of mine," as if the light of God in them is something the devil or circumstances can blow away. There is nothing little about the light of God in you. The Bible says the entrance of God’s Word brings light. The Hebrew translation of 'light' there is 'photizo' or 'phos' in Greek, which means stadium lights or a great emission of light. With stadium lights, a sporting activity can be played in the middle of the night, and no one will complain about not seeing because it’s so bright. It’s a shimmering light that exposes even the tiniest thing.
As you read this prophetic message, light is entering your system. There's no room for the devil to get habitation in your life. You have everything it takes to be a mountain mover in this life. Let this Word grow in you and you shall surely prevail over circumstances. The light in you is not only for you but even those around you shall witness the same grace working for you all the days of your life.

Matthew 5:14
2 Peter 1:12 (KJV)
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
The revelation of God is never static or stagnant but progressive. What made sense in the olden days might not make sense today. Therefore, God will pour out fresh manna from time to time. You don’t need God who resides in history but the One who lives in the now.
We all know that God parted the sea in the days of Moses, but you need the One who divides your own sea today. Yours might be a financial situation or health issue which demands a "now" miracle.
The Bible says be established in the present truth. For there to be present truth, it means there is past and future truth. We used to know Jesus as our waymaker, but when you get the present truth, you realise you're a member of His Body. He's no longer paving the way, but you are making the way whilst you are inside Him. Nothing shall stop or resist you! Go out and take over in each and every environment in the Name of Jesus!

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his Word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
A summons is a court order that demands you to be present or to follow a particular order. It might be delivered by a messenger on a bicycle, but its power is attached to its source. A heavenly summons is higher than a burden; it’s a pull you can't resist or argue with. These are superior calls of God.
Prophet Jeremiah tried to quit, but the Word of the Lord was like fire shut up in his bones, no matter how he wanted to resist it. Why do you follow this Goodnews message regardless of all the attacks we get. It’s because God summoned you to be part and parcel of this commission.
Listen to the summons of God, and your testimony will be discovered inside your assignment. Whatever you're hearing the Spirit command you to do, do not delay. Do it urgently. You might be summoned to preach, give, or carry out a certain duty. Today is the day to start.

Philippians 2:13 (KJV)
For it is God which worketh in you both to will, and to do of his good pleasure.
There is a better understanding of the Word, brothers and sisters, where you realise that God is not a miracle worker. To label God as a miracle worker is to know him in a very generic way; when you get a better understanding, you realise that you are the miracle worker. I know it sounds taboo, but that’s the perfect knowledge of Christ you need to possess.
The Bible says we are members of His body, which means when He moves, it’s us moving. We are a composition of His make and actions. We are the doers of the deeds. Apostle Paul says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Who is doing it? It’s actually you!
When you get a hold of this revelation, nothing will move you or shake you. You will not only have confidence but also "Godfidence." Begin to command every miracle to come into being in the Name of Jesus. Don’t wait for God or any spiritual entity for a miracle to happen. Speak it and work it out in the Name of Jesus.

Jeremiah 1:4-5 (KJV)
Then the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
The word 'knew' in this verse is 'yada' in Hebrew, which means having experiential knowledge. God had a personal experience with Jeremiah before he was formed in his mother’s womb. You existed somewhere before you came to this earth. Therefore, He knows you better than anyone who might try to pull you down. You have a greater record of success from the One who knew you before your friend, teacher or pastor.
Circumstances might try to diminish the glory of God in you, but just know this one thing for sure: God knows you better than you know yourself. He is closer to you than you are to yourself. Square up your shoulders and tell everything around you that you are known better by Someone who is higher than every authority on Earth. Some rejoice because of their worldly connections but your God is the biggest connection. Your money is coming and your health is more than certain in the Name of Jesus.

You shall not be consumed by any circumstance, and every burden is being taken off your shoulders in the Name of Jesus.

When it comes to furniture in your house or clothes in your closet, there are some you can easily give away, but some are indispensable. You actually feel that you can’t even afford to lose them; they are irreplaceable. The same principle applies in the house of the Lord. There are people whom God does not want to lose. He values them as Kingdom assets based on what they do. It might be because of their commitment to a church department, giving, or anything that is considered a Kingdom role.
In our scripture for today, Jesus told His followers even if the people of this world refuse to worship, stones will rise up to worship. God has a quick replacement.
Don’t let your replacement be found whilst you are still alive. Be irreplaceable! That position you're holding now, as long as you want it, you shall never be replaced, in the Name of Jesus. Commit yourself to the Lord and to every vision He gave you, and you shall never be replaced in Jesus' Mighty Name!

LICENCING HEAVEN
Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
When God created the Earth, He gave man a mandate to dominate it. Adam was given all rights over the soil and all living creatures. This is why when God created Eve, He did not touch the soil: it was already under Adam’s authority and jurisdiction. Instead, He had to reach into Adam, the one He created and had control over.
All things are ours, brothers and sisters, and for God to intervene in the affairs of men, He needs to be licensed by men. I know you're already asking, how does one license God? The answer is prayer. When we pray, we give God license to intervene in our affairs. The Bible says men ought to pray and not faint, which means the moment you stop praying, you're fainting.
Take time to pray every day, starting today, and God will intervene in that situation that is giving you sleepless nights. Even if you feel tired and weary, take time to pray just a little, and God’s Spirit will remove every yoke in the Name of Jesus.

Every problem that befalls you is trying to undermine the power of God. Still, no situation is greater than God. God existed before time began, and there's nothing new, either negative or positive, before the sight of the Lord. No matter how complicated your situation is, God remains the supreme office.
Daniel called him the Ancient of Days. It means even the days call him old. When you worship Him, you're not worshipping an idol that was sculptured yesterday but the One who existed before time began. He knows you inside and out; your situation is nothing new to Him.
God can't be voted in or out: He sits in the circumference of Himself. That sickness in your body, or the situation at your workplace or school, can't compare to His power. See a turnaround in every facet of your life because the Lord’s hand is upon you. Glory!

EFFORTLESS HARVEST
John 4:35 (KJV)
Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
The call to win souls is for every Christian. Bringing more souls to the Kingdom should be natural for those born of God. I have heard many ministers who go out to plant churches or do crusades come back saying the ground is very hard. When they mention the ground, they refer to the general environment where they're trying to win souls, which is a bad move when it comes to soul winning. We have thousands of churches and cell groups, and this is the knowledge that brought me results, so stay with me here.
The Bible says we should look up, not down or on the ground. When you observe the ground, know you've taken a wrong turn because the Bible never instructed us to look on the ground. Christ is the giver of the harvest, and He said the harvest is plenty and effortless to bring it home. We don't have to look for the soul; they're already available. We just go and win them to Christ. Hallelujah!
Your environment might seem intimidating but just know your harvest is plenty. Even youth are agents of change and evangelism. Someone somewhere is waiting for you to come and minister so they can receive Christ. Look up!

Ignorance of the truth of God’s Word will cause you to remain in bondage and suffer the same things that the people of the world suffer. The Bible says the truth of God shall make you free. Notice that King James didn’t say set you free but "make." Imagine a fly in a closed bottle; if you open the lid of the bottle, you have set it free, but if you turn the bottle upside down and force it out, it means you are making it free.
Knowing the truth of God will force you out of the calamities and grips of the enemy. It pushes you out like a force driving you out.

The palm tree of Lebanon will simply bend and return to its original position. It bends, not because it’s weak, but because it’s flexible.

We are living in a world where even grown men and women can’t handle anything because they are still in search of their physical fathers who might have disappeared when they were not yet born. Most of these men and women suffer from a lot of emotional distress because of this.
The desire to know your genealogy can be a real threat to life. Some are thirsty only for belonging, they desire to at least belong to a certain class or group of people. Yet the Bible says we are the seed of God, born from on high. That is our real identity.
Remember, even Jeremiah was told by God that he was known by God before he was even formed in his mother’s womb, which means he existed in another realm before getting to his physical family. You are the seed of God, and his DNA is imprinted all over you.
Nothing and no one can stop you because you are the seed of the Highest. Go out and conquer. Milk and honey are yours in the Name of Jesus!

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Deception is the act of hiding the truth from someone in order to take advantage of them. Jesus said in the last days, meaning the end of the end, deception shall be prevalent. Therefore, we need to know the biggest gateway for deception the enemy will use. Jesus said to beware of false teachers, which means the teaching ministry is what the devil will try to use to deceive many. The kind of teaching you listen to is either a setup for deception or an escape from deception.
Choose who and what to listen to carefully because this is what determines whether you will be deceived or not. The cure for deception is knowledge. Gain knowledge through the reading of the Word and sitting under correct teaching. As you read this prophetic message, light is coming to your spirit. It shall never be easy for the devil to deceive you.
Commit yourself to the Word and do all you can to know it for yourself. Don’t wait for the preacher only; read it on your own, and even after it's preached, be like the Bereans and check to see if it is so.

The bedrock of character, behaviour or belief is information. It has the power to program you for failure or success. When the devil comes, he uses information to grip you, and what chases him away is the light gained through the acquisition of information. When the enemy visited Adam and Eve, he used information to lure them into eating the fruit, thereby exposing their nakedness. When God came down, He did not ask how they got naked but who told them that they were naked.
Create a buffer and place a premium on the information that gets into you. Some sermons and books are just there to expose your nakedness. God redeemed you and there is no more blemish on you. Who told you that you are sinful or weak? That’s information from the devil. You are a chosen generation and a new creature in Jesus Christ. All things about you are new.

We do not sink when others sink because our supply and sustenance are from above.
How can you lack or go down if the One inside you does not lack or struggle? You are a seed of God, and poverty or sickness is not your portion. You shall continue to dominate and take over nations by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptise with water, the same said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
When purpose and calling are discovered, success is imminent. However, many people's tragedy is knowing what they are called to do. When you do your correct assignment, operating in the right lane, provision will always be available. Where there is a vision, God will send provision.
John gave us a real strategy for recognising the correct thing to do. He said he was baptising with water because he didn’t know Jesus. He was waiting to see the One on whom the Holy Spirit would descend. You might not know what business to do, but just baptise all, and the one on which money will flow is the right one. Do everything until you locate the one that has your money.
Do not fold your hands whilst waiting for the right thing; just do something, and in the process of it, you shall discover what’s yours. Just baptise all and yours shall be discovered.

To fraternise means to associate or to befriend someone. Do you know there is a dimension in the spirit where you become one with spiritual entities? The angel confirmed that John was in the same realm as them, being a fellow servant. Imagine an entity coming from Heaven, with all the power and glory, but still saying I’m the same as you. It sounds very remote and far-fetched, but if you can only realise who you are in the spirit, you will be a mountain shaker yourself.

2 Kings 6:6 (NLT)
“Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the axe head floated to the surface.
Some people within Christianity try to downplay the importance of the prophetic within the Body of Christ but don't fall for it. In the absence of the prophetic, how will the axe head be recovered? "Where did it fall?” the prophet asked. ‘Fall’ in Hebrew is naphal, which has to do with ‘lost’ and ‘cast down.’ So, the prophetic recovers and restores that which was lost. I speak now as a prophet: when men are cast down, there is lifting for you and your family!
2 Peter 1:19 (AMP) says, “So we have the prophetic word made more certain. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts.” The prophetic brings light; it is sure and certain, for God entrusts His Word to the prophets, and when spoken, the confirmation thereof cannot be disputed.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The prophet is my advantage. When the prophetic word is released, I shall not suffer loss; I shall recover all; my finances are booming, my health is brilliant, and my family is Milk and Honey! Amen.

A cow generally resists when it senses it is about to be milked. So, milking the cow will meet with resistance, opposition, and hostilities. Get used to this. As you rise, there will be battles unleashed from hell to arise against your next level of greatness.
In this your promised land, effort will be required, early morning rising regardless of climatic conditions and challenges. Yes, milking a cow is wearisome and laborious under the guise of dawn, but be strong!
I prophesy that your labour will never be in vain as a child of God. The Word of God is tried, tested, and proven for success.
Productivity has come to you in this year of Milk and Honey. Where things have been stagnant in the past, by reason of the smoothness of honey and fluidity of milk, you will not struggle to achieve great results in your field, your marriage, your business, and your career.
Your finances will take on new meaning with uncommon expansion of figures and profits that will certify your gains as a harvest of a promised land! Amen.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself.
Generals of old carried the presence of God because they fraternise with Divinity! They have an affinity with Divinity that makes them spiritual entities. See the audacity with which Moses spoke to God in Exodus 32:12: “Why let the Egyptians say, ‘Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth’? Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people!” When Moses spoke, God listened and God repented from His anger!
There’s no way Moses would have spoken to God with such impudence if he hadn’t fraternised with Divinity! The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:16, “For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]." Read God’s Word daily with understanding to know His mind and thoughts for your life in this year of Milk and Honey!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The One who sits in the circumference of Himself, the One who made the universe out of nothing, the Bible says our Lord is a consuming FIRE! You are a partaker of His divine nature. You cannot be born of God and struggle under the fiery darts of the enemy, no! One thing the enemy cannot withstand is fire. Why? Because fire burns, fire eliminates, fire consumes, fire is hot, fire cooks, fire is dangerous. If anything troubles you, the answer is FIRE!
Stop the complaints, stop the analysis, and stop the argument. The only thing that chases out that problem of sleeplessness, depression and anxiety is Holy Ghost FIRE. This one is not contentious; when they touch you, they are finished! When you are on fire for God, the enemy flees from you. Let the fire of the Holy Ghost on the inside of you burn uncontrollably for all to see and glorify your Father in Heaven, hallelujah!

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
The Promised Land is a land full of milk and honey, that's a fact, but the Promised Land also has giants that need to be annihilated. The Promised Land requires conquest and, therefore, a warrior's altitude; it requires discipline, the tenacity of a bulldog, and a change of character. You have moved from the environment of manna, where God supernaturally provided angels' food for your daily bread, to a land of hostility.
The Bible says from the days of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of God suffers violence, and it is the violent that takes it by force. The wait is over; you have arrived in your Promised Land. The One who promised is able to deliver when you focus on Him, not the size of the giants, not the size of your problems, not the size of the budget for that project. Certainly, He who gives the vision is more than able to give the provisions.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Hebrews 12:29 (KJV)
For our God is a consuming fire.
There was a time when the prophets of old had to challenge public opinion publicly. Joshua asked a wavering assembly who they would serve and declared, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Confronted with a similar scenario of waverers, Isaiah asked, "Whose report will you believe?" As for Prophet Elijah, his question to the masses was clear in 1 Kings 18:21: "How long will you vacillate between two opinions? If Baal, be god, then serve him, but if God be God, then serve Him,” and Jehovah Chikopokopo (the One who needs no runway) answered Elijah by fire.
Our God is a heavyweight. He is beyond comparison – the One who starts from the end and finishes at the beginning. It does not matter what part of the year of Milk and Honey; our God holds time in His hands, and His timing is always perfect. Your business will not go under, your children will not go wayward, and your finances will not dry up! The good work started in you already in this year of Milk and Honey will not cease. You’re rising higher and higher in Jesus' Name!

Acts 19:12 (KJV)
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
The Bible says Paul's handkerchiefs were used to heal the sick. Notice that the handkerchief is simply a conduit, a channel through which the anointing flows. If you want to see the potency of the anointing you carry being manifested, you must be prepared to exercise your faith and act. Understand we are members of Christ's body, so when you move, Jesus is moving.
Imagine a handkerchief has no feeling; it does not hear; it is inanimate, yet Apostle Paul’s handkerchief was used to heal the sick when they came in contact with it. So, what about you, a living, breathing, tongue-talking, Spirit-filled Christian? When you see the sick out there, you know the power you carry, so begin to exercise it. You are better than a handkerchief! You are the conduit of the anointing!

2 Corinthians 9:11 (KJV)
Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
One thing I noticed about God in this scripture is that God did not only bless Isaac; He caused Isaac and his seed to become conduits of blessings. God’s idea of blessing Isaac was to make him a conduit of the blessings of heaven and bless nations through him. As you receive the blessings of God upon your life, always remember that there are nations that should be blessed through you. Your blessings are indications that you should be a blessing to many more people.
God’s end-time purpose for blessing you is for you to serve as a pipeline through which the blessings flow. In this year of Milk and Honey, don’t be counted among those who imagine that whatever God does for them ends with them. As you get blessed, allow the nations to be blessed through you. Decide today to be a sole sponsor of conferences and crusades so that all the nations of the earth are reached with the good news as the waters cover the seas, for yours is a special call; don’t not ignore it.

And when He looked on him, He was afraid, and said, what is it, Lord? And He said unto him, thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
There’s an unquenchable combination of spiritual realities that catch God's attention in a dramatic fashion. Cornelius’ prayer and giving effectively blocked God's panoramic view of planet Earth. God didn't visit him in a dream as he did with Solomon, but instead immediately dispatched an angel to announce his impact in the heavens. Giving backed up with effectual prayer becomes an irresistible force that changes destinies and generations. God clearly states in His word that He's unwilling to do without a prompt to give giver. A giver has a front-row seat in God’s assembly!
One man's prayer and giving made him the first successful candidate through whom salvation came to the Gentiles. When you’re a prayerful giver, you’re kept under God’s radar permanently. I’m surprised at Christians whose sole intent in bringing about a generational change is through the vehicle of prayer yet neglect or pay little attention to giving! From our scripture for today, prayer and giving must be simultaneously engaged to experience the full measure of Milk and Honey this year.

I am relentless in prayer, and my giving in this year of Milk and Honey will shock me and move Heaven without fail to God's glory in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Philippians 4:18
Psalms 119:130 (NLT)
The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
When we exude scriptures, we bring light to ourselves, individuals, families, institutions, communities, and nations. The amount of light you possess through the Word determines the extent of your dominance and prowess in the realm of the Spirit. You cannot be bankrupt of the Word and expect to dominate in the realm of the Spirit. Our Lord Jesus, when He confronted Satan in the wilderness, didn't treat the enemy casually but stood His ground on "It is written!" Jesus applied the Word to defeat the arch-enemy.
Jesus, in John 1:1, is the Word of God, yet He teaches us by example to go for the Word when under attack by the enemy. It is not how you feel or your opinion about the situation but what the Word says! You may be overdrawn, busted, and poverty may think there’s no way out of your condition, but the Word says, let the poor say I am rich! Go for the Word and see poverty flee out of your life. Read the Word, study the Word, meditate on the Word, and by so doing, you infect your environment with light that will transform your destiny forever.

When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Money is a very sensitive subject to some within the body of Christ. Most Christians associate money with the devil and oppose prosperity, accepting poverty as a form of godliness and penury as piety. No wonder God said, “My people,” not people from outside the Church, but His own people die because of lack of knowledge. They take offerings during church services and conferences, yet they say money is evil. See how they get the Word of God twisted!
1 Timothy 6:10 says, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves ....” The love of money is the root of all evil, not money itself! A couple bitterly arguing at each other’s throats, check it thoroughly: the root cause will be the love of money! As for you, in this year of Milk and Honey, money will not escape you. You will experience the sweetness of being wealthy and prosperous. MONEY IS HERE! TAKE IT!

I talk to many of my spiritual sons and daughters, those with global and national ministries, and this goes for you, too: focus on what you do best. If you're good at teaching the word, stick to it. If you're good at the prophetic, focus on prophesying, and if it's evangelism, then evangelise. The moment you deviate from your calling, you have invited trouble. The principle here is to stick to your calling and see God move you from glory to glory in different dimensions. You cannot be a Jack of all trades and master of none.
John the Baptist strayed from his assignment as a forerunner of Christ baptising in the wilderness and took on the role of a marriage counsellor for Herod, then ended up losing his head. Gaining mastery in what you do catapults you to new dimensions with speed. Discover your calling and stick to it. In this year of Milk and Honey, as you move in your calling, I decree and declare an overflow of fresh anointing to announce you to your global audience in the Name of Jesus!

For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
The journey from Egypt to the promised land was tedious, hazardous, and challenging. Yet, God provided for them supernaturally for forty years. In the promised land, you must occupy to settle. You must dig your heels in and tell that sickness, “You will not have me!” Tell that financial situation, "You will not embarrass me." Tell Satan and his cohorts, "You will not destroy my marriage!" Stand your ground and take hold of your possessions!
Inheritance belongs to sons. Notice, it was Joshua who crossed over with the Israelites into the promised land. The year of Milk and Honey means the sons have entered their promised land, and you have entered your inheritance. This is your season to occupy; possess your possessions! Bear in mind, this is not a gentle, kind, friendly takeover of the promised land, for there are giants in the land that will oppose your entry. So, if you're not born with it or into it, fight for it!

Now you see, in the army, there is no waiting when the battle cry is made, no idleness, no hesitation.
In like manner, the publication of the Word must be immediate. This last dispensation requires speed and urgency to spread the Word like never before. This is a campaign, and every platform, social media outlet, television, radio, Internet, and mobile phone must now be inundated with the GOODNEWS. Do not get tired; do not be weary. Not a single day should pass without your publication or posting.
There is no time for laxity. Church, or Christianity as we know it, is under severe attack as the enemy knows it is now timeout for him. “Do Not Say I Didn't Warn You." Familiar with this?

So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
See how Elijah prayed with his head between his knees. The strategy our Lord Jesus used to get the money changers out of the temple was not prayer and fasting but turning their tables upside down (Matthew 21:12). The woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43) was not anointed with oil; she merely touched Jesus' garment and was made whole. In Matthew 8:8, Jesus didn't need to travel to the centurion's house to heal his servant. Yet, it happened because of the audacious faith of the centurion.
Whether it is laying hands on the sick and they recover, sick people passing through my shadow and getting healed, or just kicking the air and people falling under the power of the anointing, these are spiritual dynamics powered by the Holy Ghost. Whatever methods and channels God uses this year for the flow of milk and honey towards you and your family, receive it, for God has a billion ways to bless you with a billion dollars. Catch it!

I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions.
If the obedience of Abraham caused God to bless Isaac and his seed, just imagine what would have happened to if Abraham had been disobedient. Imagine what your own disobedience to God could be costing your next generation. Imagine the damage you may be doing to the future of your offspring by doing what God would not have you do.
Don’t be counted amongst those whose disobedience caused problems for their generations. Like Abraham, let your obedience to God cause Him to show favour to your next generation. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.”
You have been given certain responsibilities in this last dispensation for a unique reason. Obedience respects the moment of the command. When you are given an assignment in the house of the Lord, do it with speed.

We are members of Christ's Body, so when you move, Jesus is moving.
Begin to practice on yourself with that persistent headache and wrist pain. Speak with boldness in faith, standing on the authority you have in Christ, and see yourself healed! When you see the sick out there, know the power you carry and begin to exercise it. Don't wait for someone else to do it; you are the one with the authority to heal the sick. Speak to circumstances and see them change in the Name of Jesus. Hear the Word of the Lord: “All power in Heaven and on Earth had been given to Me, and I have given it to you.” Take charge!

Genesis 26:12 (KJV)
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Understand the background to this scripture for today: despite a famine, Isaac sowed in the land, meaning he still had seed. At a time when people were looking for what to eat, Isaac still had what to sow. Today, no matter the famine, you will still have seed. No matter the dryness, you will still have something to plant that can yield a harvest for you. No matter the famine, you will still have ideas that bring you profits.
No matter the economic decline, you will still have opportunities that will bring you abundance. No matter the dryness, you'll still have resources to produce more resources! Hallelujah!
Dryness may have taken its toll on people in the land of Gerar, but Isaac still had something left, and it became something that God could bless. If there is something left in your hands, in your house, then there is something that God can bless. If there is still any strength, effort, idea, or opportunity, God will use it to orchestrate a blessing that will blow your mind in this year of Milk and Honey.

Mark 5:34 (NLT)
And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
The biblical definition of faith is very clear: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” On several occasions, Jesus boldly declared to the sick who were just healed, “Your faith has healed you!” This kind of faith is very rare in our churches today; it is the God-kind of faith, the faith God used in creating the world!
Many people think that they have no role to play in their healing; not so. Whatever you need requires a level of faith. Whether healing or prosperity, no one can do it for you in isolation of their faith. The power of God is present to heal, and the grace to prosper is there, but the participatory engagement of the person needing the miracle must be activated for the miracle to manifest. Most people blame apostles, prophets, pastors, and evangelists for not getting their miracle, yet they failed to exercise their faith. Let your faith be released now, for your prosperity is being distributed, and money is coming to you in Jesus’ Name.

I've observed many people, Christians included, who try to do everything and be everything. John was sent as a forerunner of Jesus to announce Him to the world, but he did not know exactly who Jesus was. John focused on his calling initially as he continued to baptize people who flocked to him in the desert. His mission was fulfilled when Jesus finally appeared on the scene and was baptized by him with validation by God’s voice confirming Jesus’ sonship!
As John remained in his calling, there was no problem, but the moment he left his calling and took on the role of marriage counsellor with Herod’s love affairs, his life took a nose dive. He was apprehended, thrown into prison and eventually lost his head.
We are Christians, yet each one is called to perform certain tasks for the equipping of the saints. You cannot be everything at once, so carefully identify your calling and work within that setting for maximum output so that you become a blessing to the Body of Christ.

When you go to fast-food restaurants like McDonalds or KFC, there are categories of service and corresponding time allotments. A customer who only needs two pieces of chicken or a hamburger will get served very fast and in no time. But when you arrive at the counter with a large order of twenty buckets of twenty pieces each, you will be told to step aside as your order is being prepared. Why? Because your order is a “special order” that needs more time and meticulous attention.
If you see that in the natural people take time and more resources to prepare special orders, as in KFC or McDonalds, how much more in spiritual things! If you want a brilliant wife who's dedicated to the things of God, highly intelligent, beautiful, loving, God-fearing, respectful, good at saving money and tolerant, be patient. You need the God-kind of faith and be prepared to wait. God is working on your special order to ensure you prosper beyond the normal in this year of Milk and Honey!

Focus is the key element to success. When you know why you are breathing this very minute, your attention shifts towards those things that matter most. Jesus told Pilate, “For the reason of bearing the truth, I was born.” He knew why He came to this world, and He remained focused on that cause for around three years. As a result, His influence is still talked about today.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgment. The world has its own standards to determine one’s level of wisdom. Sometimes it is measured in monetary terms, educational qualifications or influence in different spheres of life. Our scripture for today reveals that there is higher wisdom which is beyond the realm of humanity. As much as we see all the inventions on this planet, there is still wisdom considered that is far superior.
Apostle Paul says the wisdom of this world is actually foolishness. You don’t need to trust or depend on the systems of this world because they always have shortcomings. Only God is an embodiment of supreme wisdom. Through His wisdom, He set the foundations of the Earth and commanded everything to be in position. As you meditate on this Word and pray, the same wisdom is penetrating your spirit. You shall function with higher wisdom which cannot fail, in the Name of Jesus.

We are soaked into Jesus’ love; consequently, we don’t need to be commanded to love. It just comes out as naturally as breathing.
Choose to love and be a minister of reconciliation to your family and friends. There is no room to hold grudges or enmity. Jesus Christ is coming back, and there is no time for games and adversity. Love in all things and at all times; that is the nature of one whose heart is marinated in love by our Lord Jesus Christ.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I love, not by commandment but by nature. Today and every day, I choose to love and make peace with everyone around me. I offload grudges and enmity in the Name of Jesus.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
When you utter words, remember those are not just mere words coming out of your mouth and dissipating into thin air. The words you utter have power to shape your life for the best or worst. That’s why you need to put a premium on the words you speak. Put a standard on the words that proceed out of your mouth. This has nothing to do with your emotional position. It’s all about charting the course of your life with your words. All the milk and honey you want lies in the power of your tongue.
Today, chose to speak life, peace, and prosperity. Don’t allow your emotions or current status to shift your language. When things are good or not so good, speak positivity no matter what. Your destiny is waiting for you to speak that which is productive. Your tongue is a weapon to chart the course of your future. Decree and declare light in your day, and you shall surely see the manifestation of that word.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare prosperity in every area of my life. I shall live a life of milk and honey in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

God knows you more than you know yourself. He is more aware of your well-being than you are. The Bible says Gideon was hiding from the Philistines, who were coming each and every time to plunder and take the harvest from the Israelites. Gideon’s hiding was a clear sign of fear and timidity, but God did not address him according to how Gideon felt or saw himself. Instead, God called him what He knew Gideon to be: a “mighty man of valour.”
Gideon must have wondered, How can God call me mighty, yet I’m hiding from the adversaries? The answer is that when God looks at you, He sees beyond what you see. You might see yourself as a rising star or someone just trying to make ends meet, but God sees you as a solution to your country’s problems. You are a giant, according to God. So, don’t allow your environment, background, or educational status to define you. You were born to conquer in the Name of Jesus!

And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Apostle Paul gives us a secret to success in this verse. He said, “I went up by revelation.” Revelation is an opening of eyes, or more accurately, a removal of scales. Success is a product of the revelation that you possess. Paul entails a clear strategy to be elevated: he went “up” by revelation, letting us know that it is your understanding of the Word that determines your altitude in life.
Your money, health, and business are all attached to the revelation that you have received. Getting revelation is the strategy for elevation. Go for the Word, and you will come back with a testimony! As you delve deeper into the Word of God, even starting today, the light of revelation is coming to you, and elevation is eminent. Make the Word your standard for promotion. Commit yourself to the Word, which the Bible calls a more sure word of prophecy, and your life will never be the same again.

The Word of God is my standard for elevation. I am marked for greatness and success in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

When it comes to products, expiration dates mark the date when something is no longer edible or usable. It is the end of something’s validity. Time or environment can cause something to expire. For you as a person, there are forces that want you to expire. This is why we have men of God, ministries, businesses or empires which were once very powerful, but now it’s all history. They were forced to expire by the forces that govern this world.
The Bible says you are the light of this world. Your duty is to continue illuminating until Jesus Christ comes back. Let your light so shine and never dim. Refuse to expire! As you commune with God through this Word and prayer, everything about you is being revitalized. Everything about you shall stand the test of time, and you shall never expire in the Name of Jesus.

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Paul mentioned all manner or forms of persecution that come to us as children of God. But the best thing he said was that we are not destroyed or finished. When the world presses us, they should know what we are made of. We are born of the Spirit, and we feed on the Word of God. The Word is our genetic makeup. When a mango fruit is pressed, what comes out is mango juice. The same applies to any other fruit.
When pressed by the challenges of this life, what must come out of you is “Word juice” because we are made up of the Word of God. Nothing shall shake you or your family because you are deeply rooted in His Word. You are standing on Christ the solid Rock, and no flood or persecution shall shake you in the Name of Jesus.

When we get to Heaven, God will not ask you about the miracles He did for you. Neither will He ask you about how much you benefited from His grace and mercy. No, He’ll ask you about what you did with the grace and Christianity He gave you. He is more concerned about how profitable you are to this world while still on Earth. The end game is what you will present before the Master when you get to Heaven. Will He say, “Well done, good and faithful servant?” or will He see someone who was crying with prayer requests every day?
Use this time profitably to bring light to your family, colleagues and everyone around you. Save a soul by sharing the Word or encouraging someone to be in church. You are here for a reason, so remember to pay attention to the end. You need to leave this world with something to present before the Master so that you can be proclaimed a good and faithful servant.

In worldly educational institutions, if you fail a module or class, you are not allowed to graduate or go to the next level. It is a system that governs educational standards in order to produce the best students. In the university of God, you also can’t skip classes. You have to pass all the modules until you reach a certain level. If it means you have to repeat, you have to do it until you graduate. When you see God‘s generals that you admire, remember they did not just appear on top, but they went through all manner of classes until they reached that level.
Paul talks of Christ being fully formed in you. This shows that there are some Christians who might have only an ear of Jesus without His full body. Grow through the Word, step by step, until Christ is fully formed in you. As you grow, you shall see all the desired results coming to pass. Take time to grow one step and one level at a time until you become a spiritual giant.

For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
The Lord said something very profound to Abraham, “as much as you can see, you can have.” There is a visual element in faith. If you can see it, you can have it. Abraham was supposed to be given as much as he could imagine. Naturally speaking, it was difficult for Abraham to see probably beyond two hundred kilometres. Hence, God was calling him to the realm of imagination. Abraham later on possessed almost every piece on the face of the earth, which means when he was told to see, he was not using his physical eyes only, but that which is spiritual.
Don’t be limited by your circumstances or any physical flaws within your radius. See beyond the natural, and know that as much as you can see, you can surely possess. The enemy might try to put blinders around you so that you don’t see beyond the recession, sickness, or poverty, but this Word is opening your eyes to see beyond!

Tradition is the transmission of beliefs and customs from one generation to another. It’s frozen success. People are wired by traditions, either good or bad, and whatever they become is a result of this. The Bible tells us Jesus could not do any mighty miracle when He went to His home country. Note the Bible didn’t say He did not do, but He “could not do,” which means He tried and failed. Although He was God in the flesh, there are things He failed to do because of traditions. They made the Word of God of non-effect by their belief systems.
Today is a new day. It’s a moment to go against all forms of negative traditions. Believe everything that God says without any shadow of doubt. If He says money is coming, for sure it is coming. When the world declares that you shall live up to a certain age, create a new pattern of godly tradition in your generation, and let the world know you are living longer to declare the goodness of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Many Christians are still stuck in the old understanding of Christ dying for us, believing that they caused Him to be bruised and crucified on the cross. It’s pathetic how the Body of Christ buys into this old, generic understanding. In fact, it is unscriptural for us to believe we are the cause of the death of Jesus Christ. We are not the cause of Christ’s death but the result of His resurrection. We did not cause Jesus to be persecuted and crucified; we emerged as a result of all that.
Our scripture says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The word ‘new’ is the Greek kainós, which means something that never existed before. You can no longer be counted among those who caused Christ to die because you are a brand-new species of being! Walk in the consciousness that you are a new creature with no connection to your past sins or flaws. You are a new and finished product!

A census is regarded as the official count or survey of a population. Most countries do their census periodically to capture different kinds of data. It helps countries to come up with general knowledge about population structure, demographics, income, etc. There is also a heavenly census of which many are ignorant, and our scripture today reveals something about it.
“Men ought to pray.”
In simpler terms, according to this scripture, you ought to be a praying person to be considered a man to God. Only man can pray. Those who do not offer prayers to God are not considered part of His population. It is through your prayers that you are recorded in the register of man in the spiritual realm. God desires communion with you through prayer. If you are not praying, you are an entity that is merely moving to and fro in the face of the Earth. Make prayer your lifestyle, and you will count with God.

Our scripture above gives a basic definition of unrighteousness, which many might not want to hear. Still, you are only helped when your ignorance is confronted. The Bible says God is not “unrighteous” to forget, which means if He were to forget, He would become “unrighteous.” According to this scripture, everyone who forgets something good done to him or her is “unrighteous.” There are no two ways about it.
There is a brother or sister who helped you before, a ministry where you were nourished and assisted, or even a subordinate who might have helped you. Take time today to appreciate them. Call, text, or find some way to express your appreciation. Even a kind word is enough to appreciate someone. Choose to be righteous by not forgetting other people’s good works that they did in your own life.

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Jesus, in His time, went to great extents to tell His audience that if they wouldn’t believe His message, at least they should believe the miracles. What are miracles? They are proofs of what we believe. The Gospel is not only in words but in the demonstration of power. When power is demonstrated, it provides tangible proof.
The Bible reveals in today’s verse that if we meditate on the statutes of God, it won’t end there, but our profiting will appear to all. You might commune with God in private, but His manifestation will be very public. As you read this word and meditate upon it, your spirit is grabbing something that will manifest in your health, business, education and every area of your life. You are a proof-producing Christian.

Stagnant water is a breeding ground for all manner of bacteria and diseases where they freely breed and expand their empires. God hates stagnation because it breeds hate, contempt and war. Most haters are not successful people but those who have stagnant lives with nothing moving at all. Successful people are busy moving and have no time to cast their eyes on other people’s business.
The Bible says we move from glory to glory, which means our walk of faith is a mobile one. We are not stagnant. The miracles we saw last week are nothing compared to what we shall be seeing today and tomorrow. We change in levels of glory every time. I personally experienced it. After filling stadiums and doing all manner of miracles, my father, Pastor Chris, told me, “All you have seen before was child’s play.” Wow! That means there is greater glory coming; the same applies to you. As you read this devotional, greater glory is coming to you right now!

When you magnify God, it means you are telling your problems and your circumstances how powerful your God is. To do a prayer where you narrate your problems to God is nothing but a one-way conversation where God hears only your plights. Magnifying or glorifying God means we are going back to all these problems and telling them about our God. Right now, you have God who knows your issues, but your issues are not aware of your God.
We are changing the game today. Tell that disease in your body that your God is a healer. Tell that spirit of poverty that your God is a provider, and tell that discouraging sense in your mind that your God is able to raise you from the dust and place you in high places to dine with the kings. Confront and freeze the strength of every problem in your life by magnifying God and proclaiming His greatness to every circumstance.

In the spiritual realm, you get promoted by the knowledge you acquire. Our scripture shows us that faith or any spiritual capability comes through hearing some information. It seems like the amount of knowledge you possess about God is tantamount to the mount of faith you carry. Weak faith is a result of poor knowledge of Christ. The Word of God develops muscles to move all the mountains that you see before you.

Hebrews 10:23
Joel 3:10 (KJV)
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
The words we speak produce sound waves and frequencies that carry either demons or angels on assignment. Every spiritual entity needs a sound wave to be released through words for it to move. The words which you are speaking everyday are creating highways and pathways in the spirit to transport angels or demons. The forces in the spirit move through waves and frequencies produced by those words. When you come to a pastor and request a “word,” what you’re really requesting is a frequency to transport good things into your life.
Prophet Joel gave a clear-cut strategy before Israel’s war. He declared, “Let the weak say I’m strong” (Joel 3:10). Those words would be their strength in the moment of battle. Today, you can also declare with your mouth that you are strong, rich and successful. Those words are a frequency for you to succeed in life. No matter what you are feeling in your body or what your bank balance is saying, just say, “I am strong, rich and blessed!”

When you board a plane, your ticket fare doesn’t only cover your movement from one destination to another. It’s a full package for the entire journey.

The same applies when it comes to salvation; it’s a full package which comes with every good thing that pertains to life till rapture.
The prophet Isaiah said to draw from the “wells” of salvation. The Bible doesn’t say ‘well’ but ‘wells’ in plural, which means there is a well of money, health, intelligence and all. As you read the Bible, equally apportion time and your spiritual efforts to every area and all angles of your life. Nothing should be lacking at all in your life.

We are peculiar in nature, and it’s known in the spirit that we have signatures of Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Christianity is the only belief system which is intellectual. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. You get information into yourself for you to understand and walk in the light of Jesus Christ. Remember, the Bible even confirms that it’s impossible to please God without faith. Without that “faith component” that you get through knowledge, it is utterly impossible to please God.
In basic terms, Christianity is far from mediocrity. We are the enlightened ones. We are the ones with the light through the Word of God. For you to be called a child of God requires spiritual literacy. Square up your shoulders and walk boldly into the realm of dominance. You are a possessor of divine knowledge, and every fibre of your being is wired to succeed. As you read this devotional, more light and knowledge are getting into your spirit, and you shall surely live a life of victory in the Name of Jesus.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
When we were kids, it was impossible for us to understand certain concepts of mathematics, science or geography because our brains couldn’t contain or understand those concepts. When wrestling with certain mathematical equations, we tended to say, “It can’t “or “It’s impossible” because of our inability to grasp the idea. When we were mature enough, we came to understand that one minus two (1-2) is a proper mathematics question and can give you a minus one (-1).
The same applies when it comes to faith. The Bible talks of being established in this present truth, which means there is past, present and future truth. You miss God and His ideas if you walk in His past truth. For you to be established in the present truth of God, you must stay in the Word, prayer, and communion with Him. God is doing strange miracles, signs and wonders in our time. You can only be a partaker of this if you walk in present truth.

Culture is a set of beliefs that govern a society. One crucial element that forms the fibre of culture is language. All human societies use language. Language moulds our belief systems and conduct.
When the human race had one language at the Tower of Babel, they determined to build a tower that reached God. Even God couldn’t stop them and had to scatter them by introducing a diversity of languages. When you speak the language of God, everything you build shall stand. Don’t confuse your language as a child of God with that which comes from those in the world. When they say there is a going down, you shall continue to say there is a lifting up. Speak the language of success, and your whole life shall have the culture of success, progress and victory.

In science there are different types or dimensions of energy. Kinetic energy is power in motion producing results. There also is potential energy which is power that is just stored, not used or moving. Similarly, faith not practiced is power unrealized. It’s like a man carrying a dynamite but is unaware of the effect it can cause.
Jesus revealed to His disciples that they not only had the potential to curse trees but to move mountains from one location to another. You have a seed of faith inside of you, but it can only produce results if you start exercising it. You might not start by commanding the dead to rise, but at least your headache should go before you ask your pastor for prayer. Exercise that muscle called faith today concerning your business, health, or education. Command whatever is standing before you to move without any doubt.

So essentially, the scriptures are for doctrine, meaning they teach and condition you. The word is also for reproof and correction. The word 'correction' there is epanórthōsis in Greek, which means to fix. So the Word is for FIXING anything that is in need of repair in your life and circumstances. Do you see that? Have you ever seen it that way? The Word doesn't just correct character flaws; it fixes whatever else is going wrong with you so that you are restored.

The Bible tells us that when the Israelites were freed from life as slaves in Egypt and were in the wilderness, God attended to every one of their needs. Despite the terrible and arid conditions of the desert, they weren't scorched by the hot sun, their clothes never wore out, and their feet were not swollen with pain. The Israelites were Old Testament beings. What more you, who has the Holy Spirit! That same God is providing for and nurturing you today!
Some make the mistake of trying to take on life's challenges all by themselves without fully realising that Christ wants to provide for them! Even if it appears like your situation is irreconcilable, or you are in the depths of the wilderness and anarchy surrounds you, remember that you live independent of circumstances and that if you recognise His presence in your life, He will give you superior provision, love and care.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I live independently of the situations around me! God is with me always! God will provide for me no matter the challenges I may face! In Christ I have SUPERIOR PROVISION! Amen.

Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
There are some Christians who say, "We shouldn't always expect good from God; we should sometimes expect bad things because life is full of ups and downs." That's a great misconception of the message of the Gospel. God is not the mastermind of the evil and sufferings in the world. His dream, which has already been actualized for you in Christ Jesus, is for you to walk in complete prosperity. That includes money but goes even beyond it!
You see, no one born into this world was destined by God to be poor, sick, broken, depressed, downcast or afflicted. Rather, God's will is for all men to prosper and be in health, even as their souls prosper (3 John 1:2). He seeks the prosperity of your spirit, your soul, and your physical body. This is the reason you shouldn't accommodate or accept sickness, poverty, defeat, or expect money only; His will is beyond money. Live in this reality today!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I live a life above circumstances, way above them. My prosperity is guaranteed and includes money and things beyond it. I am wealthy, in the Name of Jesus!

Proverbs 4:19
Luke 6:12-13 (NIV)
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles.
If you want to live a life of success, who you choose to surround yourself with is essential! Today’s verse shows us how the Lord Jesus knew the importance of who He surrounded himself with and the lasting effects of that choice. He is shown going into a private area and spending a night's worth of prayer dedicated to this decision. Often, Christians choose their companions based on the standards the world has set rather than spiritual discernment! Don't choose friends based on whether someone enjoys the same television programmes as you. Choose people who align with your spiritual calling.
Daniel is a perfect example from the Bible; he had great friends. When the king gave a decree that would have been detrimental and got him in trouble, Daniel called upon his friends to pray, and God gave them the solution to their predicament. These are the kind of friends you should keep, friends that bring you closer to God and inspire you in things that are right!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I'm guided by the Holy Spirit when choosing who I surround myself with. I choose friends that motivate me unto good works and never the contrary, in Jesus' Name!

SPIRITUAL POWERHOUSE
Romans 8:5-6 (KJV)
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
A common misconception amongst Christendom is that giving your life to Christ is the entirety of your walk with God. However, giving your life to Christ is simply the first step in your multifaceted journey. You must be conscious of your oneness with the Holy Spirit. God has made you, and God is a Spirit, meaning your very origin as a child of God is of the Spirit! To live life accordingly, you must reject the flesh at every turn! Whenever you are pushed or motivated to do something, question yourself on whether that motivation is coming from God, your flesh or even Satan!
Consult the Holy Spirit regarding your education, your job, your marriage and your children! When you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, you will experience peace that exceeds what the world offers. Your very success in life depends on your ability to discern things of the Spirit. Ensure you read the word daily, separating yourself from those in the world, and see yourself become a spiritual powerhouse!

I AM A SPIRITUAL POWERHOUSE! I live a life governed by the spirit of God, and the flesh has no power over my decision-making!

But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.
In a world with so many distractions, it is easy to neglect alone time with God. If you do not recognise the importance of solitude, there’s a lot you can miss in life! It’s vital for every Christian to establish private time with the Lord. Before revelation, there is isolation! When you learn the value of having private time with the Lord, you’ll be amazed at the lasting effects it will have on your life.
Several times in the Bible, we see the Lord Jesus set times to be completely alone with the Father! Every Christian should make the effort to have one-on-one time with the King of kings!

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Many Christians make the mistake of comparing their journey to the journey of others! Phrases like, "I know where I'm supposed to be by now," whilst popular, are not of God! Today's verse informs us that the race is not to the swift. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now doesn't mean God has forgotten you or you are less important in His eyes. Your time and chance will come!
In athletic circles, Olympic sprinters are encouraged to focus on the finish line and not to look back over their shoulders during a race, as it can potentially slow them down. In the same way, when you look at others’ race instead of focusing on your own lane, you may lose sight of the finish line and slow yourself down! Learn to focus solely on what God has called you to be. Grow in His Word every day, and don’t be concerned about what others are doing!

I am in my own lane! I am focused on my finish line; I do not look over my shoulder during the race in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Oftentimes, you go through difficulties in your life and don’t know how to fix them simply because you were not equipped with the potent power of prayer! God did not tell us to pray just for praying’s sake but because there is a specific power attached to praying! Living life as a Christian without prayer is like walking onto a battlefield with no ammunition! When you pray, you are readying yourself for anything the enemy may try to throw at you!
The verse above tells us that when you give thanks and pray, worry becomes a thing of the past, and the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your heart regardless of the situations you may be facing. Take advantage of the potent power in prayer today!

There are certain truths in the Word that can easily pass you by if you don't walk in the reality of the royal DNA in you! According to today's verse, it's up to you as a Christian to make a choice: are you going to be an heir or a servant?
If you remain in a state where you don't know who you are, where you don't grow or walk in the promises of God concerning your life, you will be a child and live a life of servanthood.
When you live the life of an heir, you never lack anything because lack is not your inheritance as a child of God!
Make the decision to grow from childhood to heir-hood, and enjoy every promise that already belongs to you by right!

As a child of God, you live far above the systems of this world; therefore, your actions must align with what God has called you to be! Reject the ordinary in your life, whether that be ordinary finances, ordinary happiness or ordinary health. The Bible says that all things have been freely given to you! His intention is for you to live above the turmoil of this temporary world and live a life of excellence, an EXTRAORDINARY life!
There is nothing you need that God has not already made available to you as a Christian. Through growing in the Word, you learn all God has given you. When you walk in the consciousness of your inheritance as a Christian, there will be no space for the ordinary to occupy in your life! Make the anointing of the Holy Spirit your dwelling every single day, growing in God's Word and see your life go from ordinary to extraordinary!

In spiritual matters, we say faith is the mother of miracles, and expectation is the midwife. In other words, in order for your miracle to be delivered safely and assuredly, you need the midwife of expectation to help you do just that!
You see, when you expect the supernatural, it adds the super to your natural. It doesn’t matter whether your life is dry. It doesn't matter whether you've been fired from work. With expectation, the one with nothing in his hand is the same one God uses to change not only his life but those around him for their benefit, too. Wherever you go, expect great things today!

You are the one to show them how to be successful and how to be light irrespective of darkness. Christ already played His part by obtaining salvation for all mankind through His vicarious death and glorious resurrection! Now, it’s your responsibility to live a luminous life and tell every nation of His saving power!
As a shining light, you dispel darkness wherever you go, meaning lack, sickness, and simply any bad thing have no place in your life or your family's lives!

There is transformative power in your testimony! It is your sole responsibility to testify of the goodness of God in your life! The verse above tells us that we must proclaim the Name of God and make known to the nations what He has done for us. In other words, GO AND TELL SOMEBODY! Not every force of darkness knows who you are or who resides inside you. Therefore, the first thing you must do when you enter a new location is testify. When you testify, you send signals in the realm of the spirit that makes known to every creature that you are God’s child and His power is at work in you!
Through your transformative testimony, you encourage others, boosting their faith to receive their own miracle! The Bible tells us that by the power of our testimonies, we have overcome all things that try to rise against us. So remember, wherever you go, you have the power to transform your life through the power of your testimony!

Only the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ can place the sinner into a position of glorious salvation and righteousness. There's no other way! It's only through actually telling people about the Gospel that the Righteousness of God can be unveiled and embraced. Contrary to common lies about the different ways to get to God, there are no other methods to gain Christ except someone is ministered to and salvation accepted.
This is where you come in. If you're still trying to figure out what you're called to do, here is a mandatory calling. You have received the mandate to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth. It's a calling not for church leaders only; it's something you're to do with all boldness, faith, courage, and conviction. You must never be ashamed or apologetic about Christ and the message of the Gospel. Don't be ashamed of who you are in Him, and don't let others make you feel ashamed of what you believe.

God's awesome plan for you is complete prosperity. He wants you to thrive in every way - in your spirit, in your health, and in your finances. You might be doing great in your faith in one area but still struggling with sickness or money problems. But God wants you to have it all together - spiritually, physically, and materially. That's what God's aiming for - a balanced prosperity type of life where every aspect is flourishing.
The verse also talks about spiritual prosperity being the priority. God wants you to succeed financially and physically, and He also wants you to be in good health. When you're healthy, you don't need healing because you're not getting sick. Awesome, right? Make it happen by living the Word! Immerse yourself in it, study it, think about it, and it becomes the guiding light to complete prosperity!

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Many Christians often cite the verse above without fully grasping what it means to overcome the world. When you have overcome the world, you have the power and authority to subjugate earthly systems. The word 'subjugate' means to bring something under your dominion or control! This is what the Bible says we have done to the world and its systems!
As a child of God, you are a joint heir with Christ! The Bible tells us that things present and all things to come are yours! Every so often, affirm who you are in Christ, saying, "I Have dominion over all things; the world is mine!" You have a legal document to that effect – the Word of God! Therefore, no matter what takes place around you, you still have the power to subjugate the world’s systems to your advantage!

Perseverance is one of the most essential principles for those who want to obtain a life of success! The Bible tells us the story of a young boy named Joseph who had the ability to interpret dreams. Joseph’s siblings grew jealous of him and sold him into slavery in Egypt. Amongst the many challenges he faced whilst in Egypt, he was falsely accused, which led to his imprisonment. However, his ability to decipher dreams reached the Pharaoh's attention, leading to his rise to power as a trusted adviser and second in command in the whole nation!
Joseph is just one of many people in the Bible who showed the importance and power of perseverance. No matter the circumstances of life, remember that all things work together for the good of those who love God!

Remember what our theme verse says: "Present your bodies a living sacrifice." God gives you the authority to manage your body. That's why some Christians, even though they have the Holy Spirit, still struggle with sickness. It's because they're the ones in charge of their bodies. God has the right to rule your body, but He appointed you to take care of it for Him. So today, rise through the Word and take charge of your house, which is your body. YOU ARE IN CHARGE, and everything is to your advantage!

... The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.

In this verse are some of the most beautiful words put together in scripture! Our Father in Heaven is Love personified. I tell you this: you don’t love yourself as much as “Love” loves you! Today, someone needs to hear just this. God is so in love with you that He’s more ambitious for your success than you could ever be for yourself. This is a love that you could never fully comprehend. He’s more willing and concerned for your happiness, peace, and joy, than you could ever be for yourself. He knows every good thing you want for yourself, and He desires it even more for you.
The problem is many have had a bad experience with human love. They’ve been let down, frustrated, and betrayed by those who once "loved" them. Now the image of love is tainted in their consciousness. It is not so with the love of God. This one is love in its purest form. He is Love itself! Sink in His guiding arms and let Him lead you.

1 John 1:7 (KJV)
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
There are some Christians who are fluent in counting sins. As one surnamed with Christ, you should never be on the lookout for your sins. If you do this, you become so conscious of not wanting to sin that you end up in sin. The verse says if we walk in the light (the Word) as He is in the light, the blood of Jesus automatically cleanses us from all sin. If, for example, you do something wrong, just say, “Lord, I’m sorry for what I did; I RECEIVE forgiveness in Jesus' Name," and that's it.
God never told you to ASK Him for forgiveness. When you were saved, you received salvation; you didn’t ask for it. It’s the same thing with forgiveness; you receive forgiveness; you don't ask for it because the Blood of Jesus Christ was shed for the remission of your sins. Some Christians are always asking God for forgiveness, and because they're asking for something that's been provided for them, they don't apply faith in their lives. You’re to receive forgiveness as an act of your faith. You’ve been washed and purged of your sins. You’re free!

Someone reading this today is feeling "incomplete." You might be feeling this way because you haven’t found the best man or woman to marry. Perhaps it’s a dream job you haven’t found, or it's your bank account that's bringing on these feelings of "incompleteness."
Here’s a newsflash: when God looks at you, He sees completeness. He told you in the verse above that you are COMPLETE IN HIM! Everything you need in your life is all found in Him. The business is in Him, the peace you’re after is in Him – there is nothing good you desire that you won’t find in Him!
If you’re thinking, “If only my uncle could help me; if only the government could give me this or give me that, I’d be able to make it in life,” you’re confessing incompleteness, and that’s wrong. You’re capable in Christ’s capability. Become totally inundated with this consciousness. Tell yourself there's no shortage in my life. I am complete!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am complete in Christ. Everything I need is on the inside of me. Peace is mine, joy is mine, divine health is mine in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Today marks the end of yet another working week. While some are excited and giving God thanks for a productive week, some are looking back with a heart full of the regrets of a wasted week. God brought you into a life of abundance. A life of fruitfulness, power and productivity. Remember He's alive and well, living on the inside of you. There is no way He relishes living and experiencing downfall after downfall right alongside you, no! He desires only the best for you.
The verse above says you will always produce fruits – that means results. You don’t start a business and it fails – never. That business has no choice but to produce fruits. It says whatsoever you do shall prosper! Go out today knowing you can do anything; you can be anything; you can get anything; you can go anywhere; you can be exactly what you want to be.

Some don’t even believe what they’re saying, but they pray in His Name anyway and hope for the best. Brothers and sisters, if only you fully understood just how powerful that Name is!

Ephesians 3:8 (AMPC)
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favour, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out.
If there’s one scripture that proves God doesn’t always use qualified people, it’s this one. Paul was trusted to do so much in the Kingdom yet declared himself the least qualified. Many reading this are convinced God will never use them because they don’t “fit” a certain criterion. See what Paul says: “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:27).
God called you and endued you with supernatural ability to carry out His work. So, never look down on yourself or think there’s nothing special about you. He’s made you competent, not because of your societal standing or how well you did in college; it’s all by His grace. Learn to look beyond your physical ability. Always remember that you’re special to Him, and He has divinely enabled you to fulfil your assignment.

John 6:63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
I once saw the headline of an article that read, “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT." It is true that what you eat affects your body. Good or bad, your body responds one way or the other. So it is with your spirit. When you consume the Word, it becomes one with your spirit and gets to work as and where needed.
The scripture talks about words that are spirit, words that give life. The opposite of this is also true. There are negative words that are also spirit but they don’t give life. Just like not all food is good for your body, not all words are good for your spirit. Strive to study and meditate on the Word of God more than ever this year. Put down the novel or the newspaper and prioritise the life-giving Word. Let it be your daily bread. Tell yourself I will not consume food if I haven’t consumed the Word or prayed.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
You sometimes hear Christians say things like; “I’m only human," or “I’m just an ordinary person." They actually believe by saying such statements they immediately exude humility. That’s not so. This kind of talk only shows ignorance at the highest level.
Understand that you were very ordinary up until you were born again. After that, you became a powerhouse, a living temple of the Lord God Almighty. By the backing of today’s verse, allow this reality to come into your consciousness. Until you become conscious of it, the power therein won’t work for you. Never again say, “I’m just an ordinary human being.” When you received the Lordship of Jesus Christ, you became a god. You were literally born of God and a partaker of His divine nature. Remember John 4:17 says, “… as he is, so are we in this world." You’re just like your Father, hallelujah!
Next time you’re tempted to say I’m only human, say instead, “I’m supernatural!”

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
Your blessing is never for yourself. The moment you focus solely on your own comforts and never regard anyone else, you are lost. Some people’s life mission is making sure their rent is paid, their children are fed and in school, refrigerator is stocked, and their car is running – that’s it! They’re content with only meeting their personal needs and chasing their own dreams. Today’s scripture tells you that you are more than that. You can change the course of strangers’ lives.
As a generational captain, a defender of the poor and fatherless, never fold your hands and watch the devil wreak havoc in nations and in the lives of men. God expects us to do something about it. Look around your community today. Who their needs tuition fees? What evil policies need changing in your local schools or universities? Is there a senior citizen who needs your love and care? You have what it takes to change the course of your world and others. You can deliver someone from poverty and defend the voiceless in society, too. Put this into practise as you go out today.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In order to be an effective Christian, it’s of paramount importance that you study, understand and live by God’s Word. Today’s scripture implies that every Christian must know how to dissect the Word and share it with others. The problem in the Church is we have people who will not miss a service; they will take notes of everything ministered, underline scriptures and never study what they just heard or wrote down themselves.
The Word ought to be studied. Read your Bible at home, and read it to your children too. Some people only open their Bibles on Sundays at church. The problem with this is you become starved spiritually. You don’t have enough firepower to face any challenges that come your way, and you end up a frustrated Christian. God says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." See that? Not reading your Bible on your own destroys you; that’s how serious it gets.

Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
When the Bible talks about your flesh, it’s talking about the things you desire to do, your senses and your appetites. I’ve seen and heard many cry as they pray to crucify their flesh. That prayer is wrong. You don’t have to struggle for your flesh to align with the Word of God; just fill your thoughts with the words of Christ. Simply walking in the Spirit in constant fellowship with God helps you overcome the flesh and its appetites.
When the Lord Jesus is the Lord of your body, you do what Paul explained in Romans 12:1, you present your body to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God because your body is His body. The body in which you live is God's property. You're living inside as a tenant and custodian; you’re taking care of it for God. So, be Christ-minded; that way, you become master over your flesh and mortify the deeds of the body.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
Do you know that you have the extraordinary ability of God in you? Someone needs to ponder this question seriously before proceeding. Too many of God’s precious people are suffering because they don’t really believe this. Listen, when you received the Holy Spirit in you, that power started working in you. It’s gushing through your veins, it’s in your bones, in your muscles, it’s all over you, hallelujah!
Now, see this. In Matthew 10:8, the Lord Jesus said, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
Now tell me, my brother, my sister, if you didn't have power, why are you being asked to do something that requires the power of God? You were told to use power to do all these exploits because YOU HAVE IT; THEREFORE, YOU CAN GIVE IT! Glory be to God!

God would never have asked us to pray if He didn’t plan on responding to those prayers. He specifically said, "... ask the Father in my name," because he planned to answer. Understand that prayer is our way of bringing the power of the Holy Spirit to effect changes in this world. You can expect definite results when you pray, brothers and sisters.
God delights in seeing you being fruitful and productive. In today's scripture, He says, “…Ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” See that? He wants your life to be full of joy!

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Notice that this scripture is in the past tense. It says God has delivered us from the power of darkness, not He’s about to, or He’s going to when you get to church on Sunday – it has been done already. The devil is a defeated enemy! He tries to plant thoughts of suicide, thoughts of an early death, thoughts of debilitating sickness, etc. Then you find Christians running from church to church seeking "deliverance" from these fears or "attacks." Well, based on the scripture above, don’t lose sleep over Satan. He knows he's defeated and has no power but preys on people's ignorance and fears. You’re superior to him, even if you only gave your life to Christ a few minutes ago.
The Lord Jesus says in Mark 16:17 "... In my name shall they cast out devils." He’s talking about you! He gave you power to CAST OUT devils, not power that is so little that the devil has to be cast out of you every week during a deliverance service. Don’t give the devil a chance.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ever seen people’s behaviour at the turn of a new year? It’s all about starting over. They make decisions about moving house, changing appearance, wardrobe, changing cars, the list is endless. All this is done as a way of "turning over a new leaf." By changing their appearance, they feel permanent changes will be created on the inside. What a deception!
The Bible is clear when it comes to the complete transformation of a Christian. It says to renew your mind, simple! Who you are today is a product of the state of your mind. Proverbs 23:7 gives us an exposé on this. It says, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he..." You can only be as good as who you see yourself to be. You’re not transformed because you finally lost weight and wear better suits now, no! God’s transformation is the real one. It starts from the inside out.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Thoughts have power, and they create realities. What you think about, you become; it’s as simple as that. This is why the Word of God talks about your thought life so much. Thoughts chart the course of your life. In the verse above, God didn’t only instruct us to guard our hearts against the wrong thoughts from passing through, but He also specifically told us the kind of thoughts to allow.
There are people who have heard something that wasn’t true, or honest, or pure, or of good report, yet they kept it in their minds until it controlled their lives and led to depression. Some will hold onto longstanding grudges, and all that does is produce an even more negative state of being. Don’t brood over anything that’s detrimental to your spirit. Rather, make a practice of forming the right images in your mind in consistency with the Word. Think so!

John 15:11 (KJV)
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
There’s a common expression that says, "Hurting people hurt people." The flipside of this is also true: joyful people make people joyful! Joy is God’s perfect will for your life. He’s given you joy that isn’t dependent on the happenings around you; joy that flows from your spirit and rubs off on everyone around you.
Now notice today’s verse says: "… that your joy might be full.” This implies that there is a joy that is not full. It’s possible to have a form of joy in you but it is not the same as what the scripture above describes. A sad fact is that some Christians are depressed all the time because they’re operating at only a small fraction of joy. Today they’re full of joy, tomorrow they’re crying a river. The Word of God has been given to you so that your joy is at full capacity at all times!
When things get tough, instead of wallowing in self-pity, declare, “I refuse to be confused and depressed! I have full joy and victory after victory. The greater One lives in me! His joy is my strength, and I prevail gloriously in Jesus' Name."

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Many Christians I’ve come across in my years of ministry struggle to please God. They’ll cry and claim they’ve tried and tried to no avail. What if I tell you that you don’t have to try to please Him anymore? That the ability to do so is already in you and all you need to do is walk in that mindset?
If you look at the verse closely, it clearly states, “… I will put my spirit within you, and CAUSE YOU …." Do you see that? Because of the Holy Spirit in you, you have been made righteous; you already please God by default. You don’t have to go on a fast for Him to be ok with you; it happens naturally from within! Armed with this knowledge, never struggle to do right. You’re born with the new nature of God to live right. This is the product of righteousness.

God is a gentleman. He’s so kind and gracious, and His love knows no bounds. All He wants is for His children to be, possess, and live the best.
Now consider today's verse. If God wanted to, every one of us would be in zombie or puppet mode where God just pulls the strings, and we would have no choice but to comply. He certainly has the power to do it; He is after all, the Almighty God! Instead, He lovingly gives us the ability to freely choose. One can choose to love God or not to love Him. You can choose to serve Him or to serve yourself. The choice is yours. He gave it to you as a gift, so be wise enough to make the right choice.
Remember Romans 11:29, It says, “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” This directly supports our theme verse today. He gives you all the information you require to make the best choices and tells you the best choice to make, but never forces you to make it.

Many Christians think this change is one that will take place in Heaven or in the spirit realm somewhere; it has already happened! The Lord Jesus Christ came to give us the divine life, the life that makes us sons of God. You see, being born again doesn’t mean you have two lives or natures; you only have one, and that’s the God-kind of life, the divine life.
Now, look at the phrase "new creature"; it suggests something that’s not known; it’s new or even "strange." You and I are a new species, a creature that never existed before, a new type of man! When you come to this realisation and understanding that what you have isn't a mix of the divine and human natures, you will cease from the struggles to live right, and you’ll find yourself fulfilling God’s will for your life gloriously from a position of rest.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
“No one is perfect!"
How many times have you heard that expression throughout your life? If you’re like me, it might well be countless times. From the playground to the boardroom, and even to the pulpit, this lie has firmly established itself. If you dare utter the words “I am perfect, " folks start calling you prideful. That’s an error!
The Bible says in today’s theme verse, “Be ye perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect.” The word 'perfect' comes from the Greek word téleios, which means full-grown in maturity, blameless, unspotted; wanting nothing; a completeness. It refers to measuring your heart with the heart of God; and the way to do this is through the Word. This means that you do things as God would have you do them; you let your heart be like God's. You think, love, and forgive as God does because you have His heart.
Brothers and sisters, God would never ask us to do something He knows we can’t do. If He demands perfection of us in the earth, it means it’s possible.
Be perfected in all you do from now, in Jesus' Name!

The word 'breach' in the verse for today is sheber in Hebrew. It means to break, to shatter or to crush something.

If you talk negatively, your life will also be negative. In the Book of Genesis, God was called the Voice. "The voice of the Lord was heard walking in the garden in the cool of the day" (Genesis 3:8). A voice is nothing without words. When you understand this, you’ll never speak empty, bad words.

Genesis 26:12 (KJV)
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.
Now, just to give a little context to the above scripture, there was a great famine in the land at the time Isaac sowed. There had also been a drought for many years, and survival was no easy feat. Now, just imagine how God tells Isaac that He’ll bless him in the midst of all this. There was no rain; everything from the weather forecast to the economy looked so bleak, yet Isaac went with what God said without question. Is it a wonder how he got a hundredfold when everyone else was down and out? No! This is what happens when you trust God.
Right now, someone is reading this and preparing themselves for what seems like an impossible day ahead. Listen, you have God's Word on perfect health, perfect finances, perfect family, perfect everything! Whatever the negative report in the land, stand on the Word of God, and you will see more than just a hundredfold blessing!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I trust and stand on God’s Word to prosper in everything I do today without question! Thank You Lord for Your precious and sure promises for my success! Amen.

2 Timothy 2:1 (KJV)
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
One thing many Christians don’t realise is that grace differentiates you in the world; it sets you apart for glory and excellence. You become a head above the rest, a pioneer, a record-breaker and a barrier-breaker! There’s absolutely nothing in this world, whether it's fame or fortune or having the best connections, that could be compared with what the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ has delivered to you.
To be strong in the grace of God, as today’s scripture states, is to walk in the fullness of His grace, that is, having a full understanding that it’s this same grace and not your own ability that makes you a champion. Being the seed of Abraham, the grace for prosperity is working in you. That grace puts you far ahead and positions you for success in every arena. Take advantage of this grace!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is the manifestation of excellence and perfection as I walk strong in multiplied grace, in Jesus' Name! Amen.

James 2:17 (AMPC)
So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).
Just imagine for a second how a parent will go all out to provide the best for their child, only for that child to act beggarly as if they have zero provisions at all. Unfortunately, this scenario rings true for many of God’s own children. They live as destitute, yet royal blood courses through their kingly veins.
You see, when you receive the Word about your prosperity, health, or business, for example, it's important to back it up with the right actions. Without acting, your situation may remain the same, and you become a frustrated individual.
Understand that the Word has the power to change your situation AND recognise the call to action that accompanies it and respond immediately. Dance to its tune! Don’t hesitate or wait. By acting in faith, you position yourself to experience miracles daily.

Revelation 3:20 (KJV)
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
One major lesson I’d like everyone to take away from this verse is that the Lord Jesus Christ is NOT knocking at the Church door; He’s knocking on your heart.
The verse does not say if the Church will open its doors to the promptings of God; the call is to individuals. Individuals are the ones that open the doors to their hearts. Church membership or positions do not guarantee a relationship with God. So the only way for the Church of God to get right is by each person reading this to get right. Remember that the Church is not a building; the church is you and I.
Open the door to your heart. He’s knocking!

Revelation 2:4 (NKJV)
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
When you truly want to be on FIRE for God, you must create hunger. It is within the hunger created that fire begins to burn from within. When there is hunger, you become sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Sitting alone in your room, a burden comes in the form of an instruction for ministry. However, if you’re not on fire, you may neglect what the Holy Spirit told you and take it lightly, postponing it. The Holy Spirit speaks to you expressly, but without hunger, you cannot ignite the fire!
Men and women filled with hunger will be used by God. They dare to challenge the routines and stay loyal to their God in the face of adversity! They will be like the three Hebrew boys who said, ‘O king, we will not bow to the golden statue, if God does not save us in this case, we will not succumb to worldly pressure; and though our lives are on the line, we have no say in this matter’, and God came through for them. Let your hunger for the things of God grow, and your life will become a perfect definition of MILK AND HONEY!

1 Samuel 9:3
Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, “Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys.
In Israel, donkeys represent a kingdom without end. That is why Jesus rode on a donkey at His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. When you read further in our scriptural story, Saul was eventually anointed by Prophet Samuel as the first king of Israel. It took the missing donkey scenario for Saul to move into his destiny to be king over Israel. The problem that erupted unexpectedly in your business and family is a setup for enlarging your financial empire.
Everything that is trying to destroy you, as we end this month, we put an end to it. Let anything missing from your life be found now in the Name of Jesus! There shall be no more delay to your milk and honey testimony! Stagnation is banished from your life, and today marks a new beginning. The Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more!

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Someone could be short, small, tall, or whatever you may perceive as average, but that is relative. However, power is absolute! There is no contest or argument when power is demonstrated. In these end times, we need the power of God to be displayed that will dismantle mere arguments and vain philosophies. The Church of today has to be the epitome of power for all to see that Jesus is Lord.
Could your cycles of unending problems be happening because of your failure to exercise your authority? Could it be that the enemy purposely decided to challenge you because you have not come to the realisation of who you are? Your position in Christ is emphasised in Ephesians 5:30: “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones”. Let this sink down with you very well. When you walk, Jesus is walking; when you speak milk and honey, Jesus is speaking it too. The life you now live is in Christ. Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Soul winning is an investment of eternal significance that the Church needs to grasp. The world will do more for a lie than the Church is willing to do for truth. When a fashion trend is announced, people in the world will run with it as if that is all to life. Everybody out there will blindly follow and subject themselves to whatever the fashion world has imposed on them without hesitation or any objection to wearing it! Why? Because it is fashionable to appear so!
The tragedy of it all is that this has crept into the Church unawares and is being applauded. We are not just looking at it from a distance; we have joined in and promoted it. We are separated (holy) and called to be effective soul winners, but until we call sin what it is, we cannot be effective soul winners. To be an effective soul winner, you must see and recognise danger. Your aim as a soul winner is to get the person from Hell to Heaven! Understand today that you are born to win souls!

1 Timothy 6:16 (NIV)
Who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honour and might forever. Amen.
When the Bible speaks of the ‘hand of the Lord’ or the ‘finger of God’, it is not referring to literal hands or fingers but a dimension of God. Ephesians 4:10 says, “He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.” Also, Genesis 1:1 declares, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” If God can create the heaven, it means He is not there!
God ascended far above all the heavens: whether second or third heavens, God ascended above all! The Bible declares that the heaven of heavens cannot contain God! God is just too big for Heaven to host him! Some may say we see God dwells in Heaven. However, the Bible emphatically states that God dwells in light that no man can approach! What you see is a refraction of God in Heaven. The precious materials like jasper and sapphire that make up the throne of God all reflect light. God projects His light on the throne, not Him.

1 John 2:17 (AMP)
The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever.
Excesses and life beyond the ordinary are considered post-luxury life. People in the world who are considered wealthy live post-luxury lives, yet they eat vegetables and fruits and are not bothered about wearing the most expensive brands. A post-luxury life does not measure or intend to live like someone else. You do not know the pitfalls, ups and downs of the person who has “arrived” in life, so why try desperately to copy their life?
Copy the spiritual, not the natural. Youthfulness can blind you, and perception may be tearing you apart, so you miss the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Learn to live a Spirit-led life, which is a post-luxury life form. Do not go for those things that have the propensity to destroy you. You are a general in the making, so do not be pressured by people, society, or peer groups. You are a child of the King, so riches, honour, fame and prosperity are all yours! You are destined for greatness and will surely be productive and fruitful! Milk and honey are yours hallelujah!

Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When destiny calls, you have no explanation for certain realities of your own life. You may find yourself in a ministry and cannot logically explain why you are there. The Bible says John the Baptist was in the desert. There was no Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, or television. Yet, John’s voice echoed in the wilderness, and people from the city flocked to hear his teachings. When destiny calls, distance is no barrier, geographical positions are not considered, and social stratification is not imputed.
The only thing that resonates in your spirit when destiny calls is the voice of the one who is assigned to you. God uses men to change destinies, so it is important to know who God has placed in your life to change your destiny. God does not make sense; He makes faith. When God is about to bless you, He sends you a man, and it is your responsibility to find out who that man is. God called you for a reason. Take your calling seriously; it is destiny calling!

Ecclesiastes 10:19
A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
The Word of God emphatically states that you cannot serve two masters; you will be more loyal to one and disloyal to the other. God puts money in the bracket of a master, a god, which means money exercises control. If you understand God entrusts you with money as a steward, a manager, when the Master who gave it to you requires it to be used for His purposes, you will have no hesitation.
Take note: money is an entity in the spiritual realm. The money in your purse or wallet has no knowledge that it belongs to you. Money is arrogant, so money can only be mastered by a master! Money is a spiritual thing, and it wants to be worshipped! The love of money is the root of all evil, so understand when your love is directed towards God, everything you have will be for Him, including your money. It will not control you! When money knows you gave it to another master – God – money will respect you and be attracted to you!

The Christians living in this dispensation are the best informed yet the weakest.

We should be the most powerful, but regrettably, Christianity has been reduced to an ideology.

The power to dominate is already inside you. What is lacking is the combination of the right codes to produce results.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Many of life’s challenges and problems come from unlikely sources. David lamented in the scripture above about the source of his troubles: friends who shared bread and ate with him. In the end, the one David considered a “friend” lifted their heel against him! This friend had become prideful and boastful and taken themselves to be too big when, in fact, they were nobodies. The worst betrayal a person can have is those you consider friends stabbing you in the back.
I have concluded that life is a blast with no friends. Some friends are enemies in waiting! Some will say he or she is my best friend, but two years later, they become your worst enemy! Examine your relations so that you can distinguish the ones that will stay with you through thick and thin.

Sometimes, you need to be pregnant with something new to change your appetite. If there is nothing new to push you out of your comfort zone, expect nothing new to happen. When a woman becomes pregnant, there are certain changes in her appetite that do not normally surface until she’s pregnant. When this happens, understand that it is not the woman who is demanding the new food, the new dress code, the new accommodation, the new financial security, no. Something is pushing that demand, and that is the pregnancy!

When God is shifting you to another dimension, your current position becomes unsatisfying, and the motion for change becomes irreversible.

In our early days, I once brought home a book I bought on finance. I explained to my wife how this book would make us rich! I told her we would have a million times what I spent on the book by the degree of knowledge acquired by reading it! The scriptures tell us in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” It is important that you read books and other materials that enrich your spiritual growth and understanding.
Some Christians queue in long lines waiting to buy a bottle of anointing oil rather than investing in books and other materials that will build their capacities and knowledge. While I do not object to anointing oil as a conduit of the anointing, knowledge acquired through books is compressed and enlarges your understanding of how best to navigate life and win. Do not neglect the study of the Word of God and other spiritual material by substituting them with an anointing jar. Each has a role in building you up for Kingdom advancement.

It is laughable for someone to say that God is not involved in prosperity! When we declare a life of milk and honey, they don’t take it seriously. Yet, some well-meaning Christians believe when they live a mediocre, beggarly lifestyle of lack, it shows piety and their ticket to Heaven is booked! They are sincere but sincerely wrong! Some Christians even believe that if you prosper, your own mind and knowledge cause it, but God is not part of the equation.
If you are a Christian, then you should know Abraham, the Father of Faith, to whom God spoke clearly saying, “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2).

Some people consider the ministration of the Word of God a mere and ordinary segment of the church service, just the preacher delivering the Word as a routine! However, this is not the case. When a man of God appears on the pulpit, what you see is physical, but the reality in the spirit realm is different! The words being released from the pulpit are not just empty and ordinary words, no. They are fiery weapons causing havoc in the enemy’s camp.
Apostle Paul is a prime example of someone who put his life in hazard for the sake of the gospel. He was always in one conundrum or the other. Ministering the Word of God could cause death, it is a hard hat area, but in the realm of the spirit, demons are crying as we minister!

This declaration about believing God and His prophets is cardinal to life’s success. God’s preoccupation is not soul winning!

Interestingly, God links your prosperity to believing his prophets. Prosperity is a function of believing God’s prophet. The significance is God is a God of order and principles. Amos 3:7 says: “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” God honours His word and teaches us to understand that He works on planet Earth through His mouthpiece, the prophet, and by simply believing His prophet, your prosperity is guaranteed!

There are infinite possibilities in the realm of the Spirit. When the Bible says all things are possible with God, it simply means “all things”! There are no exceptions when it comes to possibilities with God. Note that most things in the Spirit are not taught but caught! One essential element you must know today is that accessing things of the Spirit requires a vehicle. Some vehicles can be human beings! Certain environments are called vehicles in the Spirit because they push you to a place where your destiny will be birthed forth.
When you locate your vehicle, you will be taken from one location to the other and see progress in your life. When you choose the right vehicle, you will rise and be celebrated. Some adversities cause you to rise, so inadvertently, they also become vehicles transporting you to your next level.

Revelation 4:7 (NLT)
The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
One of the four creatures that sat around God’s throne had the face of a man. So, in reality, man was with God before Adam’s creation, but notice the qualifier: God said let us create “man in our own image”. That lets us know that Adam as a man was created differently from the being that had the face of a man. God created us in His image with spirit, soul, and body. The body was made from dust, so the flesh or body is carnal.
When the devil tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden tree, and she enticed her husband to do the same, a curse was placed upon the serpent that it would eat dust (Genesis 3:14). Yet, we all know snakes don’t eat dust. So, what does this ‘dust’ actually refer to? It symbolizes the flesh. The enemy attacks the flesh, so it’s crucial to nourish your spirit daily with the Word of God to prevail over the desires of our flesh.

Psalm 82:5
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
One of the most powerful but often ignored men in the Bible is Adam! Adam’s fall created pandemonium in the heavenlies to the point that all the cosmos, the earth systems, and the moon and stars went out of alignment. The Bible tells us Jesus is the last Adam: “So it is written, The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” (1 Corinthians 15:45, CSB). So, do you think the first Adam was powerless? No, sir!
In the Garden of Eden, Adam got information from a tree, and today, we even get medication from trees. Money is made from paper, which is made from trees. So if Adam ate first of the tree of life, mankind would not have gotten sick! Adam’s authority and dominance far surpass the ordinary. Adam lost that authority when he fell, but the last Adam, Jesus, restored that power and authority back to us. Now you can speak to your surroundings and environment, and they have no option but to obey and see a change effected!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am restored to power in Christ. I speak creative words, I carry the DNA of God, I am royalty, and creation is my subject. I shall dominate, and winning is what I do!

1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
We have a peculiar advantage when it comes to ministry because of the revelation we have received from God. This is the foretaste of glory divine. The scripture is clear, but I think I need to expound on this one. The Lord, on that day, as He descends from Heaven, will shout with the voice of an archangel. The dead in Christ will rise first when they hear the last trumpet. This means only the voice of an archangel can be heard by the dead and resurrect them!
I often declare, “By the voice of an archangel”, because voices are different, and men and women of God are different. There is a pull in the Spirit that draws you to those who are afflicted and in need. Today, I speak with the voice of an archangel to that dead womb, to that dead marriage, to that dead company, to that dead bank account to resurrect now and begin to be fruitful and productive. Deadness is exiled from your life now!

Psalms 92:12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Notice the flourishing of the righteous is compared to the palm tree. There is something unique about the palm tree that the righteous can be compared to it. There are certain qualities of the palm tree that we must emulate. The palm tree is flexible and resilient enough to withstand storms! The palm tree can bend backwards, forwards, and sideways in the face of heavy storms to the breaking point. Yet after the storm, the palm tree is still standing, unmovable, and steadfast.
The comparison of a palm tree to a righteous man – a Christian – as depicted in today’s scripture is not a coincidence. In the face of adversity, the Christian is expected to stand strong. In the face of life’s challenges, like the storms of life, the Christian should not budge but stand solid on the Word of God, rooted in faith. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 declares, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” You are coming out like milk and honey!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life shall be a wonder! When the storm is over, I shall remain standing strong. My life is hidden in Christ; I cannot be destroyed, I will not go under, but stand tall to declare God’s Word! Hallelujah!

John 6:68
Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
This statement made by Simon Peter signifies so many things. Simon Peter and the other disciples have thoroughly made their research and findings clear: only Jesus has the “Words of eternal life”. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 of the same chapter says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (NKJV). Jesus is the WORD who was manifested in the flesh!
Recognise that Jesus is God, so the words that God speaks are eternal. That is a fact! Jesus says in Mark 13:31, “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” The words of Jesus are eternal and will stand the test of time! When you have the words of eternal life to drive you, sicknesses will flee from you. When you speak, your bank account as a creature will respond. What you carry is eternal and powerful and needs expression in your daily life!

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
You need the binary code to communicate in the realm of the Spirit. Spirits do not speak your known languages like Swahili, English, French or German. Spirits communicate in signals and codes. There are categories of tongues, certain tongues you pray, like shooting machine guns and launching ballistic missiles in the realm of the Spirit, causing havoc in the enemy’s camp. See yourself as a powerhouse, a nuclear facility meant to decimate any enemy outpost.
The enemy continues to harass you because he thinks you are a weakling and ordinary individual. Now arise, take hold of your armoury embedded in your tongues, and begin to go ballistic, blast, and pulverise with your machine gun tongues. It is now time for war. In this year of milk and honey; go on the offence against the enemy until your peace is restored, your finances are restored, and your household is put back in order. Push your tongues to another level; do not relinquish until you capture what was taken from you.

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ …
Today’s scripture involves understanding “all spiritual blessings”. God, in His sovereign power, decided to lavish “all spiritual blessings” upon us through Jesus! I mean the One who sits in the circumference of Himself made the decision to bless us with “all spiritual blessings” in Christ! If you think about it, God, in His benevolence, took it upon Himself to bless us regardless of our shortcomings and imperfections! That is why I always say God is not mad at you; He’s mad about you!
One thing that I believe you now understand is this: life is spiritual! So, when God decided to bless us with spiritual blessings in Christ, He demonstrated His goodness towards us at the highest level. When you have Christ, you have all spiritual blessings – not some, but all. Numbers 23:20 puts it this way, “Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.” Whatever they say or think about you is of no consequence. What God says about you takes precedence. He said this year shall be a year of milk and honey; that settles the matter!

James 1:24 (NKJV)
… Or he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
The expressions and viewpoints of Christians are sometimes puzzling. They will say things like, “God is dealing with me, so I have to go through this hardship”, or “God is punishing me with this migraine”. This is just insane! There is no way God will take glory in your failures! There is no way that God is teaching you a lesson by giving you over to sickness; no, this is not God. God never uses the devil’s tools to teach His children lessons. God is not teaching you a lesson by keeping negativity in your life, no! God does not use the enemy’s tactics to drive through His agenda.
You are solely responsible for charting your aeons. There should not be someone or something to always blame when you do not see progress in your life! Self-introspection is important. Ask yourself, How am I managing my time? Am I consistent with my tithing? Am I disciplined and consistent with my prayer life? Do I take reading God’s word seriously? When you begin to do things differently, certainly different results will come through for you; start practicing it today.

Isaiah 43:18
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
Every seed has a cover or coat when planted in the ground, and there, under the ground, the seed is buried, yet it is a season for the seed. However, even in that state, there is a cushion around the seed. A Christian should never think that they are forgotten! You may feel buried under an avalanche of problems where it seems your relevance is forgotten, your skills buried, your connections cut off, your finances just not there, and your family is falling apart. Your problems are compounded one after the other, and there seems to be no way out for you!
I bring good news to you right now: you are not alone; you are not forgotten. Like the seed buried under the ground, it is just a matter of time to see that very seed germinate and manifest newness to the amazement of passers-by and the delight of the Farmer. Daylight is here despite your night season. As surely as the Lord lives, your family will not fall apart, your business will not collapse, and that sickness will not take you out. Your season of germination is now! You shall testify that indeed, milk and honey is what you’re experiencing this year; rejoice for evermore!

Acts 12:9
So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
Peter’s release from prison was a divine intervention orchestrated by an angelic being. Interestingly, as the liberation was unfolding, Peter could not believe what was happening. In fact, in trying to process the interplay between the natural and supernatural entry and exit points, Peter concluded that it was a vision, refusing to accept the reality that he was now out of prison!
Today, I speak to that situation of barrenness in your marriage, your finances, your career, your ministry, that your moment of liberation is now! Like Peter, it will seem like a dream to you because it is happening so swiftly and fast that your reasoning capacity will be rendered useless. This miracle I declare to you now is beyond human comprehension: your finances are being pushed from the spiritual realm, your money is about to manifest, and your testimony of a life of milk and honey will shock you. A new reality of abundance has come to you. It is not a dream; this is now your new experience in Christ. Your life of imprisonment is over, never to revisit you!

But no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what God's servants can expect. I'll see to it that everything works out for the best." God's Decree.
Today, I decree and declare the Word of the Lord to you as purposely stated in Isaiah 54:11-17 (MSG): “Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise, lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, Your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones.

Genesis 1:2
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.
The scripture points out that the earth as we know it now was without “form” and “void” from the beginning. Void here entails emptiness, nothingness, like a wasteland where nothing is expected to grow! When the Spirit of God “moved”, the Hebrew rendering of the text is “rachaph”, meaning to brood in constant imagination of an outcome. It was there and then something new was birthed forth. The Holy Spirit was incubating or brooding, then finally said, “Light Be”, and there was light!
Spiritual incubation has conditions if you want the outcome to be as intended. Fluctuations in temperature greatly impact the result. Therefore, when spiritual incubation is happening, begin to raise the standard of your character, intensify your prayer life, increase the level of your worship and see your life become a life of milk and honey. The spiritual incubation process speeds up your spiritual growth and allows for spiritual capacities to be built. So, expand your fellowship with the Holy Spirit to empower you to live the newness of life supernaturally.

Romans 1:1 (AMP)
Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative), set apart for [preaching] the gospel of God [the good news of salvation]
During the old days in Israel, after seven years, a slave was entitled to his freedom. However, when the slave voluntarily chooses to remain in his master’s house and not leave him to live a free life of his own, then his ear is pierced, and he continues to work in his master’s house as “bondservant” or “BONDSLAVE”. So, Paul is saying he’s totally committed to serving Christ permanently without being forced.
Paul says, I was a slave that was given the liberty to leave my master, but because my master is so good to me, I cannot afford to leave him. I am committed with my entire being to serve Him! How many of us can genuinely say that is also true of me: I am ready with everything to serve my Lord Jesus; I am going to serve Him not under compulsion but willingly and cheerfully? The goodness of the Lord is overpowering and continues to flow regardless of our shortcomings. Count yourself a BONDSERVANT in his vineyard!

Gods communicate with gods! This is the reason God remained silent; He had no other person to commune with. Even when you look at the god of this world (the devil), for the whole of Genesis, we never see him talking until he sees Adam! This means Adam's being was a complete replication of God! When you begin to dive into deeper realms in Christ, you must watch who you allow to have access to you. Make sure those you surround yourself with understand the level of revelation you have caught and the journeying it took for you in the spirit to reach the point you are at.
As a god, you must understand who you are! In the world today, people go to the graveyards and find tombstones of Muslims, Hindus and Christians all right beside each other. The reason for this is many Christians are not coming to the realisation of who they truly are in Christ and the life that is pulsating in them!

It is impossible to be in the Spirit without having direct communication with the Lord. There are too many Christians who are not hearing the voice of God, who abuse their own words, voice, and mind to become the ‘voice of God.’ You’ll find when they apply for a job and get rejected, they say it was simply not God’s will for them to get the job, and when they get accepted, they say it was God’s will! The Bible tells us the Kingdom of God does not come by observation. Just because certain events seem a certain way does not mean God spoke or did not speak. Learn to be led by the Spirit of God. Learn to walk and function in the Spirit.
Do not be as those who prophesy their own vision and ambition instead of God’s vision and dream. You have a mission in your life which you must take seriously.

Hebrews 12:22 (KJV)
But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.
When your eyes are not open to the spiritual realm, you allow several problems to enter your life. As a Christian, seeing angels should be a regular experience in your life! When you observe the eye’s functionality, you are able to see based on light rays reflecting off an object and entering the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer layer covering the eye). The amount of light is then adjusted by the pupil. Finally, a signal is sent to over 125 million sensors in the retina, allowing you to see. Just imagine that for you to see relies solely on light entering your eyes!
The Bible tells us the entrance of God’s Word gives light. This means that in order for you to see angels, you must read scriptures concerning angels so that the light of angels enters for you to see them! God created angels to help and assist you! When you consistently allow the light of angels to enter you, seeing angels will be an everyday occurrence!

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.
Every single Christian has been given power to be a demon demolition expert! Whilst God gave us power to cast out devils in His name, some Christians are still tormented by all manner of ailments and issues. The reason for this can be attributed to many Christians using the name of God but not His character. The word ‘name’ in its original rendering is ónoma, meaning character.
The Bible speaks about seven sons of a Jewish high priest attempting to cast out a demon in the name of Jesus and failing! They simply did not have the character of Jesus to back up what they were saying. Do not fall for the devil’s trickery or allow him to infiltrate your life, for the Bible says God has given you power over all evil entities and power to trample serpents.

There is nothing called sickness or poverty because Jesus doesn’t struggle with sickness or poverty. Those who are dead to the flesh don’t care about what other people think or say!

Why is it that the devil has not repented to this day, yet he is described as the one who sealest up the sum, in other words, the most intelligent being.

This is why God had to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you so you could be forgiven!

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
The reality of spirituality is based on your ability to sense the unction! There is a certain way by which every general and luminary in the spirit is able to locate the anointing. Most people do not even realise there is such a thing as sensing the anointing. For this reason, most failures in your life can be attributed to not recognising the anointing of the people God sent to help you.
As you continue your walk in Christ, it is vital that you respect and sense the anointing on those whom God has ordained and placed in authority over you. In the Bible, we see a demon compelled to preach as Paul walked by because of the strong power the apostle had within him. This means the devil can also smell, touch and sense the anointing.
Refuse to let the words of others dictate your life! Especially if those words are contrary to what God says concerning your life. It may seem like your boss, teacher, or a colleague mistreats you for reasons unbeknownst to you, but it is because they are threatened by the anointing they sense in you! So chin up today!

The word ‘substance’ in the original rendering directly translates to hypóstasis, meaning substructure or fundamental reality that supports all else.
Faith acts as the title deed for what you want to obtain and is the proof and foundation of your belief. As a Christian, you are born into faith but must learn how to access it. The Bible says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So, for you to access faith, you must consume the Word daily! Ensure you attend church and read the Word of God so that faith can accumulate in you.
Additionally, the Bible tells us to walk by faith and not by sight, meaning faith should be fully functioning regardless of your situation. When you walk in faith, poverty has no hold on you, and no sickness is strong enough to harm you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I choose to walk in faith in every area of my life! As I consume more of God’s Word, faith is accumulating in me, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Your words carry power! From Genesis to Revelation, God has done nothing physically; all He has done is speak! Even in the process of creation, God is seen speaking! As His children, we have been given the same creative ability as Christ through our words. The Bible says the words you speak are spirit, and they are life. The word ‘life’ in the original rendering is zōé, meaning life as God has it, or in other words, the life that powers God! This is why the words you speak cannot die! If you say, ‘I am broke,’ those words are moving around, finding ways to make your confession a reality!
Your mouth is a production centre for spirits. Whatever you speak is looking for ways to confirm what you say concerning your life. The Bible says that the words you speak shall not return to you void, but they will accomplish everything you have sent them to do; therefore, if you speak the words, THE MONEY IS COMING, it will take place just as your words have declared!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have power in my words! I choose to only speak good things into my life, regardless of the circumstances; my body is HEALTHY, I am a WEALTHY wonder in the Kingdom of God, In Jesus’ Name! Amen.

John 4:35 (KJV)
Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Winning souls is easy! Jesus has already answered every possible objection to the belief that soul winning is difficult. The problem is that Christians have read the scriptures about soul winning but have not taken the time to delve deeper into what God said. Jesus (the masterful soul-winner) understood the Jewish people’s love for agriculture and used it as the basis for this teaching.
To understand the question posed in the verse for today’s reading, you must understand that it takes four months for wheat to mature before it is ready to be harvested by a farmer, and the Lord uses this language deliberately, knowing His audience.
Now, you are not the farmer! So, it is not your duty to cultivate the grounds for soul winning. It was already done by God! This completely nullifies the belief that soul winning is difficult. Those who think this way have mistakenly given themselves the role of the farmer when that role belongs to God alone! Being a super soul-winner is recognising the involvement of God as the farmer! The harvest is ready for you to win souls TODAY!

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.
God has spectacular plans for you! Know that as God’s child, all your needs are supplied according to His riches in glory. This means that lack has no place in your life. You may live poor, but know that no Christian is born to be sick, depressed, or poor. God’s intention is for you to prosper in every endeavour you choose to involve yourself in. Refuse to accommodate or accept poverty in your life or your family’s lives! Confess that God did away with your poverty the moment you became a Christian. Speak to your situation saying, I lack absolutely NOTHING!
The benefits of being prosperous are abundantly clear! In Genesis, prosperity is described as a shelter and hedge of protection from the devil. The Bible tells us that despite the devil’s attempts, he could not harm God’s servant Job due to the hedge of money surrounding him and his house. Continue to confess only positivity over your life and finances. The sooner you realise your riches in Christ, the sooner a hedge of wealth will rush towards you and surround you!

Ephesians 3:19 (KJV)
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all fulness of God.
Love is the totality of God’s nature; He is love personified! As a result, in Christ there is love that transcends all human understanding. The Bible tells us that God loves you so much that He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, so you may have eternal life. Whilst those in the world can revoke their feelings towards you depending on various circumstances or even actions you may have taken against them, God’s love is described as never-ending, meaning absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of Christ!
When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, His Spirit immediately dominated you with His love. So, as Christians, it’s important to be loving just as your Father is loving. As you progress in your walk with Christ, exercising your love for those around you, you become like your Father. The Bible tells us that the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts; therefore, it is impossible to not love as a Christian! As a product of love, you must show it not only in your words but also in your actions. Throughout the rest of this week, choose to walk in the love of God!

GOD loves me so much! I have the same nature as the Father, in Jesus’ Mighty Name.

Psalm 133:1 (KJV)
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
As Christians, we must function together in perfect, unwavering unity! The world is obsessed with prejudice, denominationalism, and identity politics; these are qualities you simply cannot allow to creep into your walk with God. No matter a person’s creed or background, hold each of your neighbours in high regard.
The Bible tells us that by loving one another, we are identified as followers of Jesus Christ. Ensure you do absolutely nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but instead do everything in humility, valuing others above yourself! You are your brother’s keeper! When a brother or sister in Christ needs help, let your first instinct be to assist them in the best way you can. These are the qualities we are expected to have as children of God.
The Church is the fulness of Christ! Christ is totally and completely made manifest in His Church, which is His body! The fullness of Christ is demonstrated and substantiated through His body in the Word. Everything relating to Jesus Christ is in His Church; His glory and character are in His Church. This means as a united body, we have ALL inherited the characteristics of Christ!

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)
Pray without ceasing.
As children of the living God, you must pray without ceasing! Prayer is not everything, but it changes absolutely everything! Prayer is a technology in which you can communicate with the Father. Through prayer, we are revitalised and charged up! The place of prayer is a place of rehabilitation and incubation. Men of prayer move from life to eternity! People of prayer have undeniable value in God’s Kingdom.
This is why the Bible tells us of Abel’s voice crying out to God even in death. Abel had built so much stature in the Kingdom through his prayer that his voice remained audible to God. Ensure your house is a house of prayer. Prayer has the power to change your and your family’s lives. Know that when you create open dialogue with the King of Kings, your prayer is, without any exceptions, answered with a yes and amen before you even start praying.
This is why being consistent in prayer is essential to establishing a relationship with God. In the Bible, we see God’s disciples dedicating hours in their days to pray and worship God; this means it is important to respect allocated hours of prayer within your respective church. Regardless of what goes on in your life, make sure you dedicate time for prayer.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
The verse above details how God can restore those on their sick beds to perfect health! The Bible tells us that by Jesus’ wounds, we were healed. As a Christian, it is essential that you speak to sickness and command it to leave your body. Just as faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, fear comes by hearing and hearing by the words of the devil.
Refuse to incline your ears to the voice of the deceiver and solely focus on Jesus Christ. Faith at a base level is an argument with the devil; when he tries to say you are sick, speak healing into every fibre of your being. Through every single circumstance, maintain your confession!
Not only do we have the power to confess healing into our own bodies, but other people’s too! God has given every one of His children unquestionable authority over all things that pertain to life and godliness. Walk in the consciousness that sickness has no place in your or your family’s lives. As soon as you recognise your God-given power, sickness will have no choice but to check out!

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
To God, some people are EXPENDABLE! Whilst that might come as a shock, stay with me. Every Christian can increase their value within the Kingdom of God and become irreplaceable in the sight of God. In the Bible, the devil claimed God’s servant Job (a man of great wealth and integrity) would reject Him if he was stripped of all he had. God allowed Satan to test Job but disallowed him from harming His child physically in any way. Although God prohibited the devil from harming Job, the devil was allowed to cause raiders to raid and kill Job’s farmhands.
This shows that God has those who are more important than others within the Kingdom. The Bible tells us that when you are important to God, you become His main priority, and He will give entire nations just to save you!
As a child of God, you can increase your value in the Kingdom simply by being involved in the work of the ministry. Engaging in various church programs and activities centred around advancing the Kingdom of God can increase your importance. Whether you sing, clean, or even dance, allow your gift to be a blessing to God’s Kingdom!

As Christians, we are not slaves to the flesh and its desires! You are set apart from this world; this means when the world is experiencing drought, drought is not your portion. The Bible says we must not be conformed to the pattern of this world, meaning where the world experiences pestilences and pandemics, we experience unprecedented health and miracles!
The Word says that we are GODS! Every day, be conscious that you are a spirit being and above the systems and regulations of this world. The desires of the world are all vanity! Refuse to succumb to voices that speak contrary to God’s Word and attempt to influence you to do wrong.
If you choose to submit yourself to God and resist the devil, he will flee from you! The Bible tells us that a mindset on the flesh is hostile to God. This is why we are told we must renew our minds! Ensure as a Christian that your mind is fortified with the Word of God. Disallow any exterior voice to influence or lead you astray! You think differently than those who are in the world.

This means there is no situation God cannot solve, no drought that He is not the remedy. As Christians, we have been given power to combat all the devil’s antics and devices; there is nothing too difficult for the Lord!
In the Bible we see unimaginable miracles, signs and wonders, from people being raised from the dead, sickness being vacated from people’s bodies, and entire seas being divided in two. Yet, Jesus said we will do greater works! This means that as a child of God, you have the power to confess healing into your own body and finances into your life! Jesus placed power in YOU to do absolutely anything!

There are unquantifiable possibilities for the child of God; you have the power and authority to destroy every wall in front of you.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
In some of our daily interactions, we could be entertaining angels unaware. Therefore, as children of God, it is paramount that there is a stark contrast between your character and that of those who reside in the world.
The Bible states in 1 Peter 1:15, ‘But as he which hath called you is holy, so ye be holy in all manner of conversation.’ This scripture shows us we are expected to conduct ourselves in a godly manner in ALL manner of conversation. As you go about your day, whether in school, at university or at your job, conduct yourself in a Godly manner; you don’t always know who you’re interacting with!
Wherever we go, we must be an example, not just to non-Christians but also to Christians in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith and purity.

Is that not amazing how God never forgets all you have done for the Kingdom? The Bible tells us that those who seek first the Kingdom and righteousness, all things will be added unto them. Whilst salvation is a gift freely given and not by our works, Jesus has special rewards awaiting those who were dedicated and progressed His Kingdom.
Those who finance the spreading of the Gospel are also rewarded. The Bible tells us that those who give in secret, God shall reward them openly!

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Happiness is based on happenings, whereas joy is a decision every child of God has to make. Notice I said ‘decision’, not ‘feeling’. The Bible tells us to count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptations. This means joy is not dependent on circumstances but a choice.
A popular verse amongst preachers and congregation alike says, ‘Rejoice in the Lord always’ (Philippians 4:4). Many Christians do not realise the circumstances in which this passage was written. Paul was writing to the church of Philippi whilst in prison! Yet, despite the horrendous conditions he was subjected to, Paul could remain joyous through it all.

The Bible says that God provides for even the fowls of the air; what more YOU, His child! Refuse to let fear rule your life. The Word says let tomorrow worry for itself. This means every day has been allocated the responsibility of worrying, not you! We know as children of God, He has removed the burden of worry from our lives, and those who are weary and burdened have been given rest in the Father!

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without works is dead also.
Our duty as Christians is to put the Word to work! Many Christians pride themselves in attending services and church programs regularly, yet their lives remain the same! While some could suggest the preacher is at fault, it is actually the polar opposite! Some people make the mistake of simply hearing the Word without actioning it.
The Bible is clear on the negative attributes of being a hearer of the Word only when it states in James 1:22, ‘Be doers of the word, not merely hearers who deceive themselves.’ This tells us that those who hear only live a life of deception!
Learn to apply the Word of God in every area of your life. Our rhema word for this year is milk and honey, so refuse to be like those who hear this word but do not action it. The bible says the Word is a tool to equip us for every good work.

The verse above states that God gave His children authority over all power of the enemy, not some, not most, but ALL! This means as Christians, you have the power to declare life into any dead situation, whether it is crippling poverty or sickness – YOU have been given the power to overcome. As a child of God, it is important that you exercise this authority that was freely given to you the moment you accepted Christ into your life.
In the Bible, there are several instances we can cite that display the heroes of our faith being conscious of their spiritual authority. This is shown when Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:4, ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God.’

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Invisible to our naked eyes are the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen, yet through a chemical reaction they become a visible substance called water. God set these invisible processes in motion at creation to respond continuously to His Word to form visible substances that add to our lives. He has done the same in the spiritual realm. Our spiritual genes hold the creative power to frame our personal world by the thoughts and words we think and speak, which are divine tools given for our creative use.
We are surrounded by spiritual “molecules” that are designed to respond to our thoughts and words, or more scripturally put, our faith, to produce miracles. Since the spirit realm is the causal realm, then your miracle is always in motion.

2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
The Christian life is about eliminating demonic data and replacing it with holy spiritual data. In fact, the amount of light in you can be measured by how much darkness you have removed from around you. That is why in John 14:30 (AMP), He could boldly declare that the devil “has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]” How could He make such a bold claim? It is because He mastered the art of eliminating demonic data.
This is why you ought to be careful who you befriend. This is the admonition the Bible has given. Some people only enter your life to monitor and hinder your progress. They emit negative light that attracts demonic activity. Make the decision to live a designed life. Tell yourself I’m not going to do anything unless God is in it, unless it exalts God’s name, and is for my personal ministry for God.

There’s a certain level of diplomatic immunity, a heavenly security that some Christians have realized, that they can say anything at any given time, and it happens. This privilege is not reserved for a select few in Christendom. You also have the capacity to do this through prayer. The secret of Christianity is in your mouth. Your mouth is not for eating.
As a matter of fact, the Greek rendering for ‘mouth’ is stoma, which means a knife you use to cut something down and into pieces. When you understand this, you will realize how dangerous your prayers are.
Prayer is an intercontinental ballistic missile you can use to destroy poverty, sickness, and any form of failure. Engage your mind as you are praying so that you are conscious of the weapon you are wielding.

Honor the LORD with your wealth And with the first fruits of all your crops (income).
Wealth management refers to the strategic management of an individual's financial assets to help achieve their financial goals. The world has its own ways of manipulating this system, but we are not of this world. God has given us our own system to secure, increase and protect our finances, even before they arrive. The world's financial system involves saving, but in God's system, the way to unquestionable financial dominion is through giving.
Tithing is a vehicle in God's financial system that empowers you to prosper. Within this system, you have the ability to control and accelerate your profit by investing or giving, not based on what your bank balance or budget dictates, but based on what you expect as a return.
You have been given power to tithe based on what you expect to receive. Decide what you want your income to be, then make it your goal to begin tithing at or towards that level now. Never allow your bank balance to decide your giving potential. Instead, give according to your expected harvest, and you will see wonders in your finances.

There is something about the mindset of a prostitute that every Christian ought to imitate. That may sound crazy, but I will explain. Have you ever noticed how a prostitute makes sure her product is always exposed so that every potential customer knows exactly what she is selling? She is compelled to do it because she recognizes the value of her product, and she understands that she is the best person to promote it.
She speaks with one goal in mind, and that is to promote her product. Despite the weather, come rain or thunder, she will be out there selling. Furthermore, if the corner she’s on is not attracting the customers she wants, she will find another corner.
Understand that God's greatest product is Jesus, and every Christian is His select salesperson. So, as a Christian, never hide God's Product. As you move around, let your Bible be seen. Don't hide it. Instead, display it proudly.

Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon in physics that proves scientifically that sound produces energy that produces light. This is a technology created by God so that when He spoke, He emitted sound waves, and those sound waves created light.

Understand that when you speak, you produce sound from what is inside you and then express or articulate it externally. The same is true in the spiritual realm.
The Bible says, “The entrance of Thy words giveth [shows or becomes] light!” So, for you to emit light externally, light must first enter you. The Scripture tells us that the entrance of God’s Word is what produces that light in you. In other words, in the realm of the Spirit, words are measured by light. We speak by emitting light. So, the amount of light you have is the amount of vocabulary you can speak in the Spirit in light. Build your light vocabulary daily by immersing yourself in the Word of God. As you speak know that everything about your life is changing into milk and honey!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My light is increasing, and by the potency of the Word in me, I release light into my health, finances, family, and change every negative circumstance around for my good!

Acts 19:15 (KJV)
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
When you imagine the spiritual realm, what do you see? The spiritual realm is a world, not just some air, as some might think. It’s a region and a zone where there is life, tangible objects and real experiences. It is more real than this physical world. When you get a grip and control of the spiritual realm, you can control everything in the dimension of the natural, for it is the spiritual that controls the natural. In other words, the natural is a product of the spiritual.
The demons knew Jesus and Paul. The sons of Sceva were so unpopular and so irrelevant in the spirit to the extent that even demons couldn’t recognize them. They were just some nobodies walking on the face of the earth. Their father was a church leader, but it still didn’t give them value in the spirit. It’s not about your connections but about you. Today, chose to become popular in the spirit by God’s Word and prayer.

And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Before a king arrives, he sends his entourage, which is his own protocol or advance team. The entourage signals the coming of the king before he even arrives. God assigned me and you to go preach the Gospel to every creature before the King comes because we are His own entourage. We are announcing the coming of the King of kings to all creatures.
Remember, the entourage is armed, skilled and equipped to handle the assignment. God is also equipping you with His Word and His provision for you to carry out the assignment. You might not be on the pulpit to preach, but whatever you do, you shall fulfil this special assignment. You are anointed and equipped to forerun the coming of the King of kings. You are God‘s ENTOURAGE.

Ephesians 5:30 (KJV)
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Our scripture for today says we are “members of His body,” which means we are body parts of Jesus Christ. When you see a Christian, you are seeing a body part of Jesus Christ. That’s why we need each other to make “the Body of Christ.”
That is also why when Saul persecuted the Church, God considered it as an attack upon Himself. It was taken as persecution against God Himself, not against the individual members of the Church.
Whenever God wants to move in this earthly realm, He uses you. He walks and talks through you. Whatsoever you touch, it’s not you touching it but God. If you are denied a deal, job, or visa, it’s not you but God denied, and God cannot be denied. He owns everything, and He has no limitations. Exercise authority over all the elements of this world, for you are a superior creature.

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
When the Children of Israel were in Egypt, they stayed in their own area called the land of Goshen. It was a location separated by God Himself to the extent that when there was darkness in Egypt, there was light only in Goshen. Goshen was exempted from all the calamities that the Egyptians faced. God ensured that His own children would not experience the diseases and plagues of Egypt.
It is the nature of God to protect and supply His own. The systems of this world will not hold you because, in God, you are in your Goshen. When the world talks of depression, refuse to participate.

There is nothing little about the light of God in you. The Bible says the entrance of God’s Word brings light.

You know the effect of stadium lights; you can even notice an ant moving during the middle of the night. It’s a radiant light that exposes even the tiniest thing that you might think of.

We are citizens of Mount Zion, not of this world, and in Mount Zion, there is no lack or need. You shall not lack any good thing in this life of milk and honey. Your Father, God, owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He shall continue to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.

Sons, mature children of God, know their rights and the privileges that they possess. You are no longer a believer but a mature child of God who possesses all privileges in Jesus Christ. Prosperity, divine health and success are all yours. You have an invincible power to effect change in every area of your life.

Suburbs are classified into three common classes: low density, middle density and high density. Low-income earners stay in high density, and the residences are very small compared to low-density. The same applies in the spiritual realm. We are not all in the same realm or class. That’s the main reason some miracles and encounters that we might have in the GoodNews World might sound strange somewhere else.
The servant of Elisha was in a different location than his own man of God. Where he was seeing imminent death, the man of God was seeing divine protection and life.

The Gospel is absolutely free, but the means to bring it to the people is not free. It takes money to hire a stadium for a crusade, print devotionals – although we give them out freely – or buy PA systems to preach the Gospel to millions of people. This is the main reason why God wants to give you money, which is not just money but money with a mission. It’s money for His cause.
Money is coming to you as I prophesied, but remember, it’s not there to quench your personal desires but for God’s mission. It’s for God’s work to be forwarded. As you are reading this devotional, grace is available to make you rich, but bear in mind that the money is coming not only for you but also for God’s mission. Like those ladies who ministered to Jesus out of their substance, through your increase, nations shall receive the Gospel.

There is only one thing in the Bible that God put himself on par with. Only one entity that God Himself confirmed that this one can give me perfect competition, and it’s not the devil but MONEY. Money is a master; it seeks to control and to be worshipped. When it sees you, it sees a subject to be controlled and dominated. According to scripture, God even called it a master, and He confirms that you cannot serve Him and money at the same time.
When you master the art of controlling money, you can easily serve God. How do you master money? Every time you give money to God or to His missions, you are telling money that there is a superior Master over you, thereby mastering money. Giving money is the only way to master money. Whatever ministry you might be a part of, never hesitate to give money, for it is the only way to master money, and more will come to you in different streams.

When you go for the Word, you will surely come back with a testimony. Our ministry is known mainly for the revelation of the Word more than anything.

That is why the Word of the Lord is a standard for everything happening on this earth.

But the men marveled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
My father, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, vindicated me when many criticized me for miracle money. It was beyond many people‘s comprehension to believe that money can rain both physical and soft cash in millions. As much as even Jesus did miracle money, which your own Bible termed “miracle tribute money,” many still do not believe that in this day and age, God is still in the business of making money appear. In our scripture above, they couldn’t understand what manner of a man Jesus was because he had codes to control seas and storms.
Pastor Chris said all those who were questioning miracle money did not understand “the codes.“ There are spiritual codes, brothers and sisters, that cause you to get into a realm of miracles that others are not experiencing.

Have you ever experienced the thrill of a "blank check" moment? I have, in my own way. When I attended boarding school, we had a system where we received upkeep cash through registered mail. While it was amazing to receive that extra money, the downside was we were limited to a set amount.
One day my brother came to visit and gave me his bank card. I asked how much I could take, and he said, ‘as much as you want’. Immediately, I realised the limitation of the registered mail.

God's Word in your mouth is a personal check from God. Being the last day of the year, all you must do is fill in your name and write out your request on God’s blank check so that this coming year will be the easiest yet.

It’s God’s will and desire for you to be healthy and strong, so agree with that and live it.
Don’t wait for the doctor to give you a bad report before you start “trying” to meditate on the Word. Meditate on the Word ahead of the evil day. Remember, God’s Word is medicine. Take that medicine daily, agree with it, act on it, and it will keep you in sound health. Never be caught saying some sicknesses are normal. There's no such thing! Just because others are going through it doesn't make it ok. The Lord Jesus Christ took sickness and disease away from you and made divine health and divine healing available to you. This is God's wish above all things! It's your right to have good health. Don't cross over into a new year with infirmity in your body!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My health is sound. I am made healthy and strong by the Holy Spirit in me. Divine health is my birth right, hallelujah!

2 Chronicles 20:17 (KJV)
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
Do you see how God told His people to approach the war they were facing? He was so definite and sure. If you read the chapter in context, you will realise that God gave them a battle strategy, which was placing singers on the frontline praising God. Not a single sword was drawn, yet the battle was a resounding win.
How do you face challenges as a Christian? Do you cower somewhere in a corner and hope you won't die, or do you stand firm, singing praises to God and declaring victory? The choice is yours. You have been given the life-giving Word of God, and that makes you undefeated. It makes no difference what you face today; face it with a heart full of praise. Worship the Lord and give Him thanks. All challenges have been overcome.
Remember, we read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation; we know how this ends – we win! It's victory all the way, brothers and sisters!

Isaiah 45:8 (KJV)
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
The idea that the Heavens are never closed is a deep concept for Christians to grasp. Prophet Isaiah saw it and exclaimed, "drip down, oh Heavens," and immediately saw the connection between the Heavens and the Earth opening up together to bring forth salvation.
As a child of God, the Heavens are always open. They don't need to be opened again, and there is no need to pray for it to be opened over you. All things are set, and the salvation you received is bearing fruit in your business, in your relationships, in your intimacy with God, in your day-to-day life, family, work, and everything you do.
The words of the prophet above are sharp. He says DRIP DOWN which indicates the dripping of honey, that is, the falling of blessings at a consistent pace. You are now set for DRIPPING DOWN of fruit-bearing abilities in Jesus’ Name!

John 16:23-24 (KJV)
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
So, this is the thing, God never asks us to pray for something He didn't plan to give us. He tells us to pray because He plans to answer. A lot of people don't know this, so they end up frustrated when it seems their prayers are not working. If only you knew that God delights in answering your prayers. He loves to see you flourish and do well in all areas of your life. He said in the verse above that He wants your joy to be FULL. Hallelujah!
Prayer is our way of effecting changes in our world. The Prophets of old prayed, the Apostles of old prayed, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself prayed and taught us to pray. As we draw closer to the year's end, make deliberate efforts to pray more. This is God's way of relating with us, so if you don't pray, you simply have no relationship with Him. We are creatures of prayer, and prayer is the standard of our lives!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old Things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
I always say your self-portrait determines the number of miracles you experience in your life. Many Christians look at themselves in the mirror, and all they see is a sinner. As long as you see that, you make today’s scripture void. Don’t see yourself as a “sinner” who’s struggling to please God; it’ll make you ineffective in your Christian walk. Rather, have the consciousness that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ.
You see, His life and nature in you give you the power to live above sin. The new you is fashioned to yield to the dominion of the Word and, as a result, produce fruits and works of righteousness. We've been washed, separated from sin unto God and declared righteous in the Name of the Lord, and by the Spirit of our God!
Next time you look in that mirror, recognise the new you and live accordingly. The old you died when you gave your all to God. Study the Word more, for it mirrors and describes the real you; it shows your true glory in Christ.

Christmas is all about Christ in you. Today the whole world celebrates the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; but, sadly, many don't really understand the spiritual impact of it. The plan for Christmas was so He would live in us and through us. If Christ is not in you, then all you have is a story. By receiving The Lord Jesus into your heart, you begin to experience that story. It becomes a reality in you.
Everything Jesus came to accomplish was so it would be possible for man to become God’s living tabernacle. This was God’s plan all along, and He achieved it in the birth, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Rejoice today, the fullness of the Godhead tabernacles in you. Glory be to God! This is the reason Jesus came—to make you one with God—to make you more than a conqueror! Have this consciousness as you celebrate Christmas and share the best gift of salvation with someone today.
Merry Christmas!

1 John 4:7-8 (KJV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Love in this modern age has been watered down to such an extent that most people don't know what true love is. Understand that expressing love to others is not about what you stand to gain. It's about your love for God and your desire to do His will. So, even when it isn't convenient, or when someone is 'unlovable,' you have to walk in love. If those you love hate you back, continue to love them anyway.
The proof that you love God is walking in love. Today's scripture says if you don't practice love, then you simply don't know God. You cannot call yourself a Christian. Even if you're the most revered person in your church, if you cannot love people no matter who they are, you're not of God because God is love. Look around you this festive season. Help those around you. Make someone’s life better. This is what you were called to do. Make that call, buy groceries and send them. Find opportunities to express God’s love today.

Luke 1:38 (KJV)
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
When the angel of the Lord brought Mary the message of Christmas from God, that she would give birth to the Saviour, Jesus Christ, what a faith reaction she demonstrated! She said, "be it unto me according to Thy word." She simply trusted the message she was given, believed it, and spoke in agreement with it. When God's Word comes to you, it comes with the power to produce in you the message it bears. If He said prosperity is yours, that statement carries the power to produce that prosperity. All you need to do is respond accordingly.
His Word never comes empty. You must receive it in faith and respond accordingly; that way, it works. Your faith reaction to everything makes the Word of God effective in your life. He never gave us His word so we could learn it; He gave it so we could respond to it. It's like a game of tennis; you serve the ball, and someone on the other side of the net must return it. God has served the Word. Return it to Him by speaking it in faith. It'll change your life forever!

Colossians 2:9 (KJV)
For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
When the Lord Jesus Christ came to Earth, He was the Word made flesh. He is called the Son of God because He was God in flesh. As He walked the dusty Earth as a man, He was filled with God, which means we too can be filled with God. If Jesus was filled with God and anointed without measure, we being sent of God also have been anointed without measure, because Jesus said, "as my Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (John 20:21).
The verse for today says He had 'the fullness' of the Godhead bodily, and if we are joint heirs with Him (which we are), that means the same Godhead dwells in us bodily as it did with the Lord Jesus. Oh hallelujah! Do you see who you truly are? You are anointed without limits. There is nothing you cannot do today. You’re up for whatever the task.
Rejoice for the fullness of God dwells in you! An extraordinary being is about to have a most fulfilling weekend! Be blessed!

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you read from Genesis 11:1, you're introduced to a unique faith demonstrated by Abraham. He was told by God to leave the comfort of his father's house, the familiar faces in his community and country, to go to a place he had no idea where. We know he did just that without an argument ensuing.
You see, faith requires that you proceed solely on the basis of God’s Word. When He tells you to do something, you go ahead and do it without asking Him how. There should never be a debate when it comes to His commands. This was how Abraham qualified to become the heir of the world and earned the title: "the Father of Faith." God willed the whole world to him because he had the right faith mentality. He must have considered that the whole world belonged to God anyway, so it didn't matter where God said to go; He would be there to bless Him ten times over!
As a seed of Abraham, have faith like he did. Be bold and unshakeable. Consistently do what the Word says, irrespective of contrary circumstances, and you'll experience Heaven on Earth all the days of your life!

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
I've seen many people get confused when brethren fall by the wayside or the lives of once mighty saints ebb into oblivion. One important thing you need to understand is preaching the Word and living the Word are two different things. You might be the most prized evangelist in your church branch, teaching others about the Lord Jesus daily, yet the Word doesn't work in your life. That's because living the Word is what counts more than just knowledge of it.
The verse says whoever comes to Me, hears My word, and actually does the Word, can never fail no matter the challenge. You may be going through your toughest season yet, but trust the Word in you. Knowing the Lord and what he said won’t cut it; living it will! When you do, you cannot be shaken. You are firmly established upon a rock that is the Word of God!

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
As God's children, there are blessings that have been afforded us by our Father. However, there’s no way you can apply the blessings of God to your life if you don’t know the Word. Through His Word, you discover your inheritance, but it’s not just knowing about your inheritance. Let me explain.
It’s one thing to discover your inheritance through the Word; it's another thing to enjoy it, and that's where the Holy Spirit comes in. Today's verse tells us that He helps us know our divine benefits, things that have been given to us freely by God. Imagine living a hand-to-mouth life, ridden with sickness and lack of peace, only to discover when you get to Heaven, by way of rapture, that there was a simple solution to all those problems - fellowship with the Spirit. He teaches us to speak what we know. That’s the key to enjoying your inheritance. Saying what God says about you and acknowledging what He has given you makes it real.
Speak forth! Once you do, great things begin to manifest in your life!

Joshua 1:6 (KJV)
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
As a Christian, never find yourself in discouragement. Never wear a sad face, criticising yourself for what you might have done wrong or crying over what others might have said or done against you. That is not the mentality God gave us! We have the mindset of victors! A victor knows they win no matter what.
The scripture above gives us insight into how we are to face daily challenges. It doesn’t matter how seemingly powerful the challenge, or your adversaries are, "Be strong and of a good courage." discouragement is not for a child of God. We are to be strong and of good courage at all times – not when we feel like it, but at ALL times.
This is a requirement, brothers and sisters; it's something that God demands of you. He demanded it of Joshua as he started out in ministry, and He demands it of us all today. Take dominion over detractors, don't be afraid. You carry Christ in you! He’s your song, your victory and your salvation!

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
The Bible says in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." This is a summary of Jesus' mission on Earth. Shortly before He ascended, He commissioned the Church to preach the Gospel to all men that they might receive eternal life. This is the ministry of reconciliation, which He has entrusted us with. Every Christian has a ministry to fulfil in soul winning. We’re called to turn men to righteousness; to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.

Genesis 8:22 (KJV)
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Many Christians are not as excited to give as they are to receive, yet one of the most profound principles in the Word of God that guarantees continuous increase in finances is the principle of giving. We also learn from the Lord Jesus Christ who said it’s more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). So the promised blessing isn’t to the receiver but to the giver.
Your giving to the Lord connects you and everything that concerns you, with blessings that aren’t only for today, but for tomorrow and for all time. The scripture above in Genesis gives an assurance that as sure as you see seasons change, as you see the guarantee of night and day, so it is with giving and receiving. You cannot be a serial giver and live in abject poverty. It's impossible!
Each time you have the opportunity to give, be excited. Our lives as Christians should depict the character of our heavenly Father, who gave His precious Son, Jesus, for our salvation. This is why we celebrate this festive season – it’s all about giving!

It’s very possible for trusted friends and loved ones to disappoint you just when you need them the most. I’m sure everyone reading this today has experienced this in various degrees.

1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
God's Word was given to us to build, train, instruct, and correct in the life and way of righteousness. Today’s verse is all about living an exemplary life and is so necessary, especially now, where moral lines are becoming blurrier.
Remember, we are in the deeper life phase. Choose to not be the Christian whose behaviour and lifestyle are questionable. Some people’s uncommendable behaviour could be in the way they treat other people, be it their family, staff, colleagues or even their superiors. Their character and behaviour aren't Christ-like. If your manner of life is inconsistent with the Word, make a change today.
Have pure desires and motives. Renew your mind with the Word, and be sure that your affections, choices, and decisions are in line with the Word. Be a true Christian, in heart and in action. Let others see Christ when they see you. Use the Word to check your actions, motives, thoughts, and desires. Do this, and you’ll experience the glory of God’s Spirit in your life as you should!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the perfect example of my Heavenly Father. When people see me, they see Him! I show forth my light in a dark world, and I am blessed to do so in Jesus' Name!

John 10:27 (KJV)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Some Christians today are in a dilemma because they yearn to ‘hear’ from a father who is speaking expressly every day. They think God is silent, yet He’s the complete opposite. This common problem comes because many ignore the Holy Spirit in them. I’ll tell you how. The Bible says in Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." You see that? That’s your birth right; it’s not something you fast for or pray about.
Having the Holy Spirit live in you is the greatest blessing of all. He’s your advantage and the secret to a glorious and successful life. Therefore, you must recognise and take advantage of His presence and guidance. You must let Him lead you through constant fellowship.
The more time you spend with Him, acknowledging Him throughout the day, taking heed of His counsel, His voice becomes more and more familiar until you can’t miss it. It becomes familiar. Your life becomes void of stress, much more excellent and full of glory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the best counsel that places me at the top always. My day today is a success. I have my Father in me; failure is not an option!

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
To perfectly understand the above scripture, look at the two words, “put on,” endýō (in Greek), which means sink down into it, or to drown in the armour of God. When you sink into something, it means you go beneath the surface of that thing. So, you’re not putting on the armour as clothing as some of you have seen perhaps in films, you’re drowning in this armour of God, so not even the smallest part is left uncovered.
The Church, in large part, has had only a surface understanding of the armour of God, a juvenile revelation of it. Until you put on—endýō—the whole armour of God, you cannot do what the next part of the verse is saying - to stand.
Notice: you are not fighting against the wiles of the devil. You are standing from a position of victory which you have already attained. You have already killed every form of negativity by simply putting on this armour. That means the purpose of the warfare is not to win. You have ALREADY WON in Christ. The purpose is to stand and maintain your position of victory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am fully dressed in the armour of God to kill every negativity in my life today. I have already attained victory in Christ, so I STAND!

Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Jesus says, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is extraordinary! He is the embodiment of life itself, the source of everything amazing. He is joy, He is peace, He is love personified, and He is the perfect way. Now just imagine the grace and love that allows this extraordinary being to tell you to freely come to Him if you’re facing one challenge or the other. My God! What an honour and privilege this is, brethren. How can you fail?
This brand-new week, don’t fear, don’t struggle, don’t cry – just fix your gaze on The Lord Jesus. There is a rest and calmness only He can give you. While you’re preparing for a challenging end-of-year report, or going through some rough seas, remember He lives in you. That means He causes you to sail through every challenge like a walk in the park.
Once you established a relationship with Him, your search ended, you arrived, you made it! Let go of the heavy bags, leave them at His feet and embrace your Father. In Him you are home, and there is definitely no place like home!

John 15:18 (KJV)
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
I have often heard Christians cry out to God as they try to understand why they are hated so much. Maybe it’s you, reading this text today, going through persecution and trying to make sense of it all. Look no further than today’s scripture.
Understand that you signed up for persecution the moment you said yes to the Lord Jesus. By mentioning His name alone, you took on a host of enemies.
Every true Christian will face persecution: at work, school, in the family, amongst friends, or with strangers. God never lied to us. He said this in John 16:33: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Do you see that? What a wonderful encouragement! Yes, you shall have tribulation, and yes, the world will hate you, BUT you have OVERCOME! Quit feeling sorry for yourself and awaken this mindset in you. Our God went through it all and overcame just to show you that you can do it too. Be of good cheer. You've got this in the bag!

Today is the beginning of the best of the rest of my life! Nothing on this earth has the power to stop me from success in Jesus' Name, hallelujah!

Matthew 8:21-22 (KJV)
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead
At first glance, one would be tempted to think the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated unnecessary harshness in this verse. After all, this is someone’s father, not a friend or distant cousin that died; it’s his father. So, let’s look closely at the significance of this lesson for us today.
When the Lord Jesus speaks about dead people burying other dead people, He’s talking about those that are spiritually dead. He gives us a clue here that there are people walking and talking, but they're not alive to God. He considers them dead because they’re not awakened to the Fatherhood of God and the reality of the Spirit realm.
When you’re born again, the Holy Spirit becomes real to you, and you’re awakened to the value of the Word of God. Not only are you awakened to the Word, but you live it daily! You become alive to His healing power, His righteousness, prosperity, and wisdom! It’s easy for the Lord to instruct and guide you from within because you're tuned in to Him. Practice this new life today. You’re not dead!

I’m alive to God. His power, glory, love and grace have just increased in my life. I have victory today in all my tasks, in Jesus' Name!

And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
Most of you if not all of you should know a lobster. There is something special about a lobster’s growth process. A Lobster does not grow with its shell; through the process of “moulting” the lobster breaks its old shell to form a new one and then grow again to that size. A Lobster’s growth process is very painful and uncomfortable! So, for a Lobster to grow it must entertain pain, physical distress, and discomfort. Expansion and growth come with cutting off the rough edges, the things that are preventing your growth.
From the scripture, the sons of the Prophet felt the place they were living was just too small, very uncomfortable, no more convenient. Notice while they felt a need to expand, they also recognise a need to have the presence of their Man of God. The sons of the Prophet realise in order to grow, the company of their Spiritual father was a necessity. For you to truly experience expansion and increase in your life, the voice of your man of God must continue to reverberate in your ears; be willing to receive the Word of God and live it.

Luke 1:10 (KJV)
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Fullness of time or “HORAH” moment, this could be a moment or season known of God when something special must happen. The scripture mentioned “Time” of incense, that moment when Zacharias was to burn incense on the altar before God. It was Zacharias’ time of duty, a moment of service calculated by God himself to reveal His glory to Zacharias and his wife, Elizabeth. Notice: Zacharias means “God remembers” and Elizabeth means “God keeps his promise”. So, at that Horah moment, God remembers to keep His promise to Zacharias and Elizabeth, a woman considered by society as “barren”!
Understand, God’s timing is perfect, the Horah time wherein God in His own wisdom remembers it is now time to bring to past that which was plan for your life. Notice, Elizabeth gave birth to John the forerunner of Jesus’ ministry. It was God’s design and plan that the timing for the births of John and Jesus not be too far apart. Remember today that whatever situation you go through or face, God remembers and keeps His promises, you are coming out, the time is now in Jesus’ name.

3 John 1:2 (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
It is worth noting that we understand the importance of these two words in our Christian journey. Ambition sees on the outside, what will people think and say about you, so your concern is with the outside appearance. Ambition survives on other people’s assessments about your life so you are subjected to people’s opinion and live a life of trying to please others. Ambition will lie, it cares only about reputation and outward appearance, obviously God is not in the equation, which is very dangerous.
On the other hand, we have vision, which looks on the inside, your heart for God. Vision is what God says and thinks about you, translated into your realities. From today’s scripture, God is very intentional about your prosperity, your health, and your soul. Anything contrary to these three things is of the devil. Jesus is building His Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it; be a part of this vision of making Hell empty and Heaven full.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My vision is clear, I shall continue to walk with God to achieve His purpose on Earth. I am a soul winner, a part of God’s plan for this dispensation. I must ensure that the good news of God’s grace reaches the four corners of the world in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Psalm 24:1 (ESV)
The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.
I know people want to be prosperous, which is a good thing! Others will tell you boldly I want to be kingdom financier, sponsoring the gospel to the ends of the world, that is excellent. Fact: when it comes to riches, wealth, and prosperity, God does not shy away. God says gold is mine, silver is mine, and cattle on a thousand hills are mine. While people count their herds one by one, God counts His by hills of thousands. The scripture for today shows forth God's legitimate ownership to planet Earth and everything in it.
Notice, God owns everything including you, so, He can distribute to whoever He pleases that which He owns. God wants you to be a channel of distribution, a vehicle through which He blesses others. So, God requires that His blessing flows through you. If God cannot get it through you, He will not get it to you. Let the blessing begin to flow through you and see yourself expand in capacity to receive more of God's blessings in this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH!

1 Corinthians 15:36 (KJV)
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Notice by measuring the results of seed faith, it seems a lot of Christians still find it hard to grasp. When it comes to sowing and reaping or seeding and harvesting, we do not see much impactful performance. The problem is that a lot of Christians want to sow today and harvest 24 hours later. They do not understand, and neither are they willing to understand that the seed sown must first die, then germination takes place, and with time, the harvest comes in 30/60/100 folds!
If you want instant harvest, it is like refusing for your seed to die. Jesus said that unless a grain of seed falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. Whether at the time of sowing the seed, it fell straight, sideways, head up or head down, that is irrelevant, the main things are it fell on good soil and that it dies. Do not worry much about the process of germination, leave that with the seed, soil, and God. As you follow the principle correctly, your harvest will surprise you, and your destiny will change forever.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a Sower in God’s kingdom, my harvest is sure, my expectation shall be met, I shall never be denied my bountiful harvest as my seeds sown have died. I am going to reap lavishly and praise The Name of God almighty. Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 4:8 (KJV)
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Moments are created during times of travail, when you refuse to give in to the devil’s harassments. Understand this: miracles happen when you are at the edge of the red sea. To see beyond the horizon and grasp the essence of going to the next level, you must know your moments and cease them. Most Christians miss their moments because of their failure to discern and recognise opportunities. The Chinese vocabulary lacks the direct interpretation of the word "crisis."" The closest definition they can find to "crisis" is "opportunity,"
When crisis erupts in an area, the Chinese rush on the scene because they equate crisis to opportunity and so benefit in the end. When you realise your moment, you move to get hold of it. Things of the spirit are caught not taught! There are moments where the Spirit of God is ministering to you to sow a seed or spend the night in prayer or just go and read the Bible, discern the moment, and cease the opportunity, consequently, your miracle shall manifest.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Everything is controlled by light, your marriage is controlled by light, your money and finances are controlled by light. The amount of light that enters you will make you exercise dominion. The Bibles says that at the entrance of your Word gives light, and it gives understanding to the simple. Understanding then comes by the amount of light you allow to enter you; this implies, the amount of the Word of God you have stored in you, will bring out corresponding wisdom when faced with a challenge.
During Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, it was the amount of light translated in the knowledge and Word of God that was being emanated to refute everything Satan threw at him. Jesus consistently said “IT IS WRITTEN” he relied on the Word of God in him to do battle against the strategies of the enemy. The more of the light you absorb by reading the Word of God, the more you surmount and dominate your health issues, your financial challenges, and your marital problems. Get in the Word which is light, submerge yourself, drown in it and see yourself experience dominion in this year of Heaven on Earth!

It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
It is very difficult or near impossibility to find a genuine man of God who is not being fought. The moment you gave your life to Christ, you become a moving target for the devil and his cohorts. The scripture speaks of opposition against David, the Lord’s servant, but strangely, he needs not to fight them because God Himself was available to fight on his behalf. So, he did not look like someone fighting because the Lord took over his battles. Hear me as I hear the Lord: your battles have been taken over by the Lord.
Welcome to that season where God Himself will serve vengeance to all those that have chosen to fight against you. Personally, I have experience battles raging against me and sometimes I wonder how will I come out? But we serve a mighty God who arises and his enemies’ scatter. You enemies have automatically become God’s enemy because you are his servant. Now, welcome to that season where your battles and attackers will be subdued by the Lord. 2 Thessalonians 1:6 says: “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you”.

Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].” AMP.

There were the proud and arrogant, those that say I will die with you, yet they are the one pulling the trigger. Those that were thinking that God has gone on holiday and have left matters into their hands, those who were constantly challenging the existence of God, those who choose to entertain other forms and shades of belief systems other than the true and living God.

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Listen carefully, the anointing can be sensed and you can feel the anointing in an atmosphere. The impact of the anointing is irreversible. Lives impacted by the anointing can take stock and testify that their destinies are changed simply because of the anointing. You see, spiritual materiality like the anointing carries tangibility that you can see change lives and destinies.
When we talk about the anointing, we are talking about the power of God in action. With God, nothing is impossible. This is so because of the anointing. When you see tumours dissolved from people, HIV healed, barrenness destroyed, and the backbone of poverty broken, that is the impact of anointing I am talking about.

Your life is being realigned to fulfil your destiny and impact nations in this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am called and anointed to take the gospel to the nations of the world. I am a yoke destroying, miracle working, one-man defence system that can never be defeated. When you touch me, you are ‘finished’, the power of God flows through my veins in The Mighty Name of Jesus!

Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Understand this, your assignment in the kingdom matters to God, and life as we know requires sustenance. The scripture is replete with emphasis on God blessing His people. This entails wealth and riches to be in the hands of those who are called according to his purpose. God told Abraham, the father of our faith, that "I will bless you so that you become a blessing." This implies that Abraham's surname was blessing. When Abraham appears on the scene, then you know blessings just show up.
As a Christian, when you move, blessings are moving. When you appear anywhere, blessings just appears. An entire ecosystem that encounters you must be impacted with blessings. How in the world does your situation manifest the contrary? Lack is not in God's vocabulary, so shall it be with you now! You cannot live in lack and want in this year of Heaven on Earth. I reverse and place an embargo on any and every negativity in your life that makes people bring the integrity of God into question. Today, you are set free for free to walk into your destiny.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
All part of my inner being and gene transport blessings. I am infused with wealth and riches to bequeath to generations yet unborn. I partake of a grace that births prosperity for the advancement of God’s kingdom now and always. Amen.

Luke 16:8 (KJV)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Can you see what I see? This is Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, commending the unjust servant. What are the doings of the children of this world that attracted Jesus’ attention and His commendation? The Word of God tells us that though we are in this world, but not of the world, that is a fact. At the same time, we are advised to be as wise as the serpent. To win souls and the world for Jesus, we need to acclimatise by making connections with those that matter in society.
The Apostle Paul preached the gospel to people of reputation, influencers in the community, in local, regional, and national government so that the Word of God penetrates the higher ups without fear. As Christians, we agreed on one thing, that the gospel must reach the utter most part of the world, which requires relationships. Your interaction with authorities is pivotal to the spreading of the GOODNEWS. We are mandated to win souls, how we do the soul winning is the strategy we need to discover through the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am selected, handpicked, and mandated to spread the GOODNEWS. I have the wisdom and strength to move mountains and subdue territories, a powerhouse to shift destinies in The Name of Jesus!

One of the most important abilities of Hyena is its sensory capacity. Hyenas can smell and sense danger miles away. Hyenas, despite its aggressive prowess, fierce attacking strategy, it survives in the wild principally because of its high sensory intelligence. When a Hyena senses danger, it will avoid it and pass the other way, far removed from a dangerous environment. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:3 “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
Only Christians see danger and walk towards it disregarding discernment and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Notice, the same God who allowed the three Hebrew boys to get into the fire and came out unscathed; is the same God who told Lot to run away from the fire! God uses different strategies for different situations, so begin to walk and act smart, having your spiritual senses active and wide awake, and you will continue to rise like an edifice in Jesus' Mighty Name.

Notice, as a Christian, we live a prophetic life! Everything that the Lord Jesus did and went through was prophetic. We have been blessed in our ministry to receive prophetic words almost daily. This should be our confidence that God is with us and is still saying something in our day and time. When the prophetic word is released, act on it and see the fulfilment in your life, we are still in the year of “HEAVEN ON EARTH”!
Note that you are called to show forth God's glory. Every negative word spoken against you due to past errors and mistakes, I cancel now in Jesus’ Name! Today is a new day, you are moving forward. Every tongue that rises against you in judgement, you will condemn, every court case or legal matter against you will be dismissed, this is your heritage.

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
As a Christian, one of the weapons at your disposal is your voice. What you want to see change in your present situation and how you want it to change is all voice activated. You cannot be silent and complain that things are not happening the way you so desired. What are you doing about it? Do you speak restoration to that business at the verge of bankruptcy? Do you speak healing to that irritating medical condition? Do you speak divine protection to your children as they start their daily routine?
Exactly, what are you speaking over your present unwanted situation. Your silence is giving the enemy the upper hand on the matter. Your success and destiny are voice-activated, your mouth is not only for eating, the Bible tells us clearly life and death is in the power of the tongue, explore the power of the tongue, use your voice properly to see stumbling blocks remove, unwanted bills deleted, marital huddles flattened, miraculous healings in your body and finances in your life as you speak things into existence.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
The reason why you do not trust God is simple: you do not know Him! God took time to introduce Himself throughout the pages of the Bible, yet most people even some professing Christians included do not know Him. God, The Creator of the universe, took the pain to step into creation through the virgin birth. Jesus is God, so get this, when Jesus was being breastfed, that was God going through the protocol of earthly existence. Jesus crawls, learns to take the first steps, then walks as humans do in an effort for God to introduce Himself to His own creation.
The Bible is very unambiguous in its presentation in the book of Hebrews 1:1-6 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds...

Notice, the devil cannot stand to be ignored. If you give the devil attention, he will give you direction! You must make a firm commitment to standing your grounds on the Word of God with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As a spirit filled Christian, you have an advantage over the devil.

You are the one that roars with the voice of the lion of Judah. Do not underestimate the power you carry and the power you can exercise over the enemy.

Discipleship is one of the areas in Christianity that gets a lot of resistance from the enemy. You hear about this country or that country is hard grounds for winning souls. Sometimes, the assumption is that certain cities are just difficult to grow a Church. In this mindset, it appears that certain countries are abandoned to the devil. Today's scripture indicates that there is no town, city, country, or continent that is outside of God's command and control. The whole Earth, think about it, belongs to God!
We have a mandate to reach the unreachable, to spread the good news of God's grace to every creature. While the task appears to be massive, it is not impossible. Imagine an entire country becoming your cell group. If it were not possible for us to accomplish, Jesus would not have given us the mandate. The difficulty is not those nations but the perception of ourselves and how we see those nations reap for the Gospel. Get ready, as the Spirit of God directs you to spread this gospel to all parts of the world, that is our commission!

James 1:6 (KJV)
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
"Ask" equates to your desires, request, and being very adamant about your petition. Boldness is the key; but is the asking in accordance with the will of God? In order to receive what you have asked, you must be immersed in faith that stands still and, you must be consistent, not wavering or even doubting yourself, constantly hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Be inundated with God's Word to the extent that when you are squeezed, "Word juice" comes out.
With the end of the year looming, some professing Christians are asking themselves, is this year of “Heaven on Earth” going to be a reality for me, my family, my business, my career? What is required in this case is let your asking be aligned with God's will for your life; for God's will for your life is firmly rooted in His Word. Let this be the basis of your request and see miracles spring up in your life daily without fail.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
In ordinary life, there are train stations and bus stations or bus stops for a specific destination in most developed and developing countries. When your faith is rooted in the Word of God immovable, with time, your request gets God's attention, and an Angel is dispatched with your answer. Unfortunately, most Christians change faith's address too soon, so by the time the Angel arrives with the answer at that faith’s address, they are no longer around to be found. Stickability to the prescription is faith immovable, your Christianity is your responsibility. Hold on to God's Word no matter what, do not budge!
A Soldier who abandons his post without properly been relieved is classified as “Absent without Leave” (AWAL), he misses out on essential supplies and the incentives that pertains to that assignment. When you suddenly change your faith address by doubting God’s Word, by the time the Angel with your answer appears, you are not in that right location anymore and will certainly miss out on your miracle!

Veteran travellers take into consideration a checklist before embarking on a journey. They made sure all tyres air pressure checked, fuel level checked, navigation system checked, and destination clearly mapped. It is so amazing that most Christians start the faith journey without checking and taking on board what is required for the journey. Our faith walk is based on solid information, for “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), that's information.
Check that you have enough fuel, which is being armed with prayer, and see that your GPS, which is the Word of God is not malfunctional!

Are you feeling overwhelmed knowing that God has called you to a new task or assignment? Perhaps it’s starting a business, leading a ministry, or even taking on the challenge of going back to school. Whatever the situation is, you may be finding yourself asking, “How am I going to do this?” You’re not alone! Many Christians have faced similar questions.

Conscientious objectors are individuals who refuse to participate in war or any military act on the basis of their moral or religious beliefs. They are willing to risk imprisonment, persecution, or worse, by refusing to take up arms.

The good news is you are already on the victorious side, so you’re not fighting to win; Christ already won for us! However, you have an enemy who acts as though he doesn’t know it.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
It is not uncommon for real men and women of God to come under attack. In fact, it should be expected. The Lord Himself said woe to the person who everyone speaks well of (Luke 6:26). Unfortunately, some individuals resort to vindictive tactics, spreading false information and manipulating the media to assassinate the character of those they envy or despise.
Sadly, some Christians are quick to run to “verify” the bad news they’ve heard, consulting reporter Google or news anchor YouTube to get more information. When they do this, they’re essentially opening themselves up to the possibility of falsely accusing the person who’s being targeted.
God hates feet that are quick to run to mischief, still countless Christians choose to do so. Yet the Word of God admonishes us to shun – stay away from, avoid, turn away from – the discussion of godless, useless matters. Dwelling on accusations is a fast track to a bitter heart and destructive conversations. Shift your focus and steer clear of trouble. Pray for leaders, including those who are experiencing such attacks. Run away from mischief, and above all, never speak against a man or woman who God is still using.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
As Christians, we all know the importance of faith and hope in our lives. However, not everyone understands the difference between faith and hope and how each plays a crucial role in achieving our goals. While hope is an essential element in our faith journey, it is not enough to accomplish our goals. Hope is the goal-setter; faith is the goal-getter, and it is the specificity of faith that makes us realize when our goals have been reached.
Notice the scripture says, “THIS mountain” - not just any mountain, meaning what you say must be specific. Such clarity provides direction and focus. When we have specific faith, it means we know exactly the Word we believe and what results we expect from putting our faith into action.
God is in the details. What is the make, model, year, and colour of the car you want? What is the specific condition in your body or life you want to be changed and the expected outcome? What is the specific amount you require, and by when? Don’t be vague or settle for wishful thinking. Aim your faith at the particular mountain you are speaking to. Be specific, and you will never miss your miracle!

In 2022, a certain royal invested a whopping $1.72 billion into housing and land for his citizens. Lower-income citizens were provided with free land, housing, and interest-free loans repayable over twenty-five years. A program was established to prioritize orphans, widows, the elderly, and those with special needs. What makes something like this possible? The answer is simple: it all starts with honour. When a king is honoured, his kingdom thrives, and its citizens become beneficiaries of his benevolence.
This is true even in marriage. Every man has a king and a fool inside. The one you entertain is the one who responds. Every wife has been given the unique grace to fashion her own crown for her husband. When she crowns him with words of honour and treats him like a king, he’ll respond in kind. When kings are honoured, they do the most. Keep in mind that respect is the universal language of love for men. So if you want to enjoy a loving and fulfilling marriage, start by treating your husband like royalty, and watch your relationship flourish.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Approval addiction is defined as seeking the approval and validation of others to feel good about yourself. It can take various forms, such as seeking affirmation from peers, compromising the Word of God to please people, or posting pictures on social media for likes. Relying on the approval of others to determine the way we live and interact with others can make it challenging to distinguish between the opinions of our peers and the will of God. Furthermore, one’s actions and behaviour may be driven by what one believes will make others happy, even if it means compromising godly values.
Approval addiction is a common struggle, even among Christians, but it is a challenge that can be overcome. You can reject being swayed by people-pleasing and break free from the chains of approval addiction. How? It starts with recognizing that your worth comes from God. He has freely bestowed on you His grace and accepted you in Christ. Prioritize God’s opinion above all else and reject the need to please people. Remember, God loves you unconditionally, and His opinion is the only one that truly matters!

But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
As a Christian, understanding your calling is an integral part of your faith journey. Searching for clarity in your calling can be frustrating and exhausting, but it’s crucial to realize that God has a unique plan for your life. Discovering your calling requires faith, patience, and a willingness to listen to God’s voice. It may even require stepping out of your comfort zone and taking risks, but the reward is immeasurable. Whilst you are discovering exactly what your calling is, I will give you a trick that will help you.
In 2 Timothy 4:5, Paul encourages young Timothy to “do the work of an evangelist.” Then he says, “fulfil your ministry.” In reading that, you might think Timothy was called to be an evangelist, but he was not. Here is the trick: whilst you are looking for your calling, whatever your hands find to do, do it! Look around, see what is needed, and get busy doing the work. Whilst you are fulfilling the needs of the ministry, God will see to it that you bump into your calling. So don’t worry about running around looking for your calling. Do the work, and your calling will find you!

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV)
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
The biggest hindrance to winning souls is not fear or unpreparedness but the belief that it is difficult. Many Christians hear the word ‘winning’ and automatically think it involves overcoming challenges or obstacles. Soul winning is not difficult as many perceive it to be.
The Word of God says, “He that winneth souls is wise.” The word ‘winneth’ can mean to ‘fetch’ or ‘take up.’ The primary meaning is ‘to take’. So When the Lord said, “ask Me, and I will GIVE you nations,” He was offering them generously rather than suggesting that they must be won through challenges. You need only secure them in prayer first.
Every effective soul winner has been given authority to win nations for Christ. It’s as easy as taking up bundles of wheat the Lord has prepared for you. God has already done all the hard work.
You are simply taking advantage of the harvest He has prepared. Believing soul winning is easy is all the motivation you need to go out there and win souls. So, keep telling yourself soul winning is easy, and go out there and win souls for the Lord!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse to enter glory with no souls on my account. Nations are mine for the taking! Winning souls is EASY!

Proverbs 14:15 (GNT)
A fool will believe anything; smart people watch their step.
Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. In the same vein, never receive a promise or prophecy about riches or wealth from a person who doesn’t possess them. It takes a person of substance to be able to prophesy substance. There must be evidence of the Word working in their lives before they can advise you on yours. The reason there are so many fake prophets in Christendom is because they are fuelled by fake Christians. As long as Christians keep buying, these fake prophets will keep selling!
Are you letting the wrong people’s opinions steer your decisions? If so, it’s time to reconsider who you allow to speak into your life. You don’t need prophecy; you need the steadfast guidance of the Word. Proverbs 13:20 teaches if we walk with the wise we become wise; but if we associate with fools, trouble is sure to follow. As Christians, the Word of God should be our compass. No other voice, no matter who it belongs to, should override the voice of God. To hear His voice loud and clear, pick up your Bible and start reading!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am set on the course I must follow, guided by the wisdom of the Word. I’m a success! My life is moving from glory to glory, and no one can lie to me!

Psalm 119:147 (ERV)
I get up early in the morning to pray to you. I trust what you say.
You don’t need an alarm to wake up. Believe it or not, your own spirit can keep time for you. Give it a try. You’ll even wake up with minutes to spare. Some have become snooze-button addicts, pressing it repeatedly to squeeze out another few minutes of sleep. However, if you have a job where your boss expects you to be on time, you can’t hit snooze forever. You’ll spring out of bed without hesitation. Why? Because payday is on the line.
What about when it comes to deeper prayer? There’s no snooze button for that. God calls the shots on when we’re called to dive deeper into prayer. It may not always seem convenient, but it’s essential. Those who have experienced the power of deeper prayer understand that it’s a privilege, not a sacrifice, to surrender everything to God, including our time. When we push ourselves to pray even when we don’t feel like it, we’re training our flesh to respond to the burden of the Lord and trust me, there’s no pay check that compares to God’s trust. So ditch the snooze button and answer the call to prayer. The reward is far greater than any salary!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare I am that intercessor that enters deeper realms of prayer and responds every time to the burden of the Lord!

The word ‘devil’ is not a name. It’s the job description of an evil entity that persists until he pierces through. Persistence is the devil’s strategy. This relentless force uses persistence as his weapon of choice, repeatedly bombarding you with negative thoughts. His game plan is to wear you down until you start speaking your own destruction. He knows that you are the one with the power in your mouth.
You see, you were made in the likeness of God who speaks and things happen – not tomorrow, that instant! We see Him separating light from darkness, yet we do not see any verse referring to the creation of darkness. Why? God knew the moment He said, “light be,” it was there. So He looked around and commanded it to shine out of darkness!
The devil wants you to believe your situation is hopeless. It’s a lie! Your light is right there. Draw it out with your words! When the pain hits, declare the Greater one is inside! When the bank balance is low, shout THE MONEY IS COMING! Speak the Word, and command light out of darkness!

1 Corinthians 12:12 (MSG)
Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells ... It’s exactly the same with Christ.
Every part of the body, no matter how weak, has a crucial role to play. Every part of the body has a job to do, and each job, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in maintaining our health and well-being. Take, for instance, the pinkie finger – often considered the weakest and most dispensable digit. Yet without it, our grip strength, balance, and overall dexterity would be significantly diminished.
The Word of God says we are all members in the same Body, the Body of Christ. Each one of us has a unique role to play in the functioning of the Body, and every role is essential. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and feeling inadequate because you don’t have the same talents or gifts as someone else. However, God created you to be unique and to contribute in your own special way. You may not be the most visible member of the Body, but that does not diminish the value of your contribution. So, never look down on yourself or compare yourself with others. Recognize your value and carry out your function to the best of your ability.

All your children will have GOD for their teacher— what a mentor for your children!
The prospect of starting a business can be both thrilling and terrifying. Many aspiring entrepreneurs are eager to run their own show and create a successful company but are held back by fear – fear of failure, fear of taking risks, fear of the unknown, and fear of losing money. For some, the fear of starting a business can be so overwhelming that it prevents them from taking the initial steps towards entrepreneurship. Fear is the number one obstacle that holds people back from starting their own businesses.
Let me ask you this: what is the cost of not pursuing your dreams? What is the price of settling for less than what you’re capable of achieving? What would you do if you were certain you would not fail? One of the ways to ensure success in business is to have a mentor, and you couldn’t ask for a better one than God Himself! In this year of money, God has assured you that if you start a business, it shall prosper. That is all the guarantee you need. You will not fail!

Habakkuk 1:13 (NRSVA)
Your eyes are too pure to behold evil, and you cannot look on wrongdoing; why do you look on the treacherous, and are silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than they?
Television has been a staple of modern life for over half a century, with billions of people tuning in daily to be entertained, informed, and inspired. While television has revolutionized the way we consume media, its effects on our thinking and behaviour patterns are often overlooked. From shaping the worldview of its viewers to influencing their decision-making, the impact of television is profound and far-reaching. Television is exactly as its name implies: it is telling a vision. It is not coincidence that we refer to the content being broadcasted as programmes because that is precisely what TV is designed to do – program the mind.
The crucified life is for those who are all-in for God. They are unwilling to subject any part of their lives, minds, spirits, or bodies to anything that does not align with God’s will. The psalmist declared I will set no evil – worthless, destructive, evil, ungodly, wicked, unprofitable, good for nothing – thing before my eyes. Remember, God is experiencing His experiences through you. Every time you watch something, ask yourself, what spirit is being entertained? Remove your eyes from evil, and begin to look at things God would be entertained to see.

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
There is nothing haphazard about God’s plan for redemption. You may have read (in Luke 12:7) how God is so concerned about the details of your life that he numbers – not counts – but numerically codes every single hair on your head (or that was ever on your head). So know that when it came to the plan of salvation, God left no detail to chance.
Our scripture today touches upon sins, but if you look closer, you’ll notice something intriguing.
God purposefully colour-coded sins, labelling them as “scarlet” and “crimson” – the same colour as blood, making them indistinguishable. This design allows for a remarkable truth: God is blind to anything covered by the blood of Jesus. As Christians, this means there is no condemnation; no one can accuse us of sins, and we can’t accuse anyone else. We are free, forgiven, and forever loved by a God of grace! What a God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a product of grace. Therefore, I refuse to take on the character of Satan, the accuser. My sins are blotted out, and I am free of every accusation. No one is justified in bringing up my past, and any accuser will be dismissed as a liar!

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
It has been scientifically proven that a “broken” heart can make even the most ravenous lose their appetite faster than a vegan at a braai. Heartbreak is a leading cause of skipped meals. The body of a person experiencing heartbreak is basically in survival mode. It is a high-stress situation, so the sympathetic nervous system kicks in, making hunger a lesser priority and suppressing hunger pangs by slowing down digestion. While that may be one way to lose weight, heartbreak can be avoided.
Notice the scripture says that those who are born again are securely held in the Master’s hand where no one can snatch them out. So, if that’s where you are, how can anyone get into that place to break your heart? The only way that can happen is if you open your heart to the wrong person. Pain comes when you let people in without even knocking. Even the Lord knocks at the heart and waits for you to open your heart before He enters. Do you want to avoid heartbreak? First, make sure whoever knocks is in the same location you are – in the hand of God. Secondly, now that Jesus is inside your heart, only open the door to those who He would welcome inside.

And thieves who get caught must pay back seven times what was stolen and lose everything.
In 2008, Facebook had to cough up a whopping $65 million to end a messy lawsuit with ConnectU that started in 2004. ConnectU claimed that Zuckerberg promised to help them create a social networking site while he was still studying at Harvard, but instead created his own rival platform, Facebook. They alleged Zuckerberg stole their idea and used it to create a billion-dollar business. Stealing can definitely come with a hefty price tag.
The Bible tells us the devil is a thief; stealing is his first point of entry. So, if there is anything missing from your life that you are supposed to have, know that the ultimate culprit is the devil. The good news is he’s obliged to pay back what he’s stolen. By recognizing the devil for the wicked crook he is, you can demand that he give back what he took from you – with interest – and he must comply. So instead of begging God for what was stolen from you, demand what’s rightfully yours from the real perpetrator. The devil owes you big time, and he’s required to pay up. He’s got no choice in the matter!

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. ‘Cardio’ is derived from the Greek word "kardia," which means "heart," (which is where we get the ‘K’ in EKG). EKG’s are often performed when a problem is present. Even so, the pulse on the screen is proof that you’re still alive and kicking. Doctors get excited when they see that pulse moving up and down, and you should too, because the moment it becomes flat, you’re dead!
While we may wish for a life that is always smooth sailing, the reality is, we will face adversity. No one is exempt. When one is facing trouble, it may be difficult to appreciate the challenges. However, the ups and downs indicate that there is life. In Romans 8:28, we are reminded that "all things work together for good” – even the ups and downs. So, in the midst of difficult times, maintain a mountaintop perspective, knowing that God is present in times of trouble. Receive the strength of the Lord right now! You will not flatline!

The disciples of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we’re staying is too small for us.
Have you heard of the fascinating phenomenon where koi fish grow to the size of their container? It's true! These majestic creatures have a unique ability to adapt their growth to the size of their environment. This is achieved through a combination of genetic and environmental factors that allow them to adjust their metabolism and rate of growth accordingly.
For example, a koi fish living in a small bowl will grow much slower and smaller than one living in a larger pond. In fact, some koi fish have been known to grow up to three feet in length when given enough space! It's hard to imagine a majestic koi fish with the capacity to grow up to three feet confined to a 10-inch fishbowl. Yet, many Christians limit themselves by staying within the confines of their comfort zone. Growth requires us to step outside of our boundaries, to doubt our doubts and embrace new experiences.
Don't let fear hold you back from living the life that God has created for you. Our God cannot be limited, and neither should you! Just like the koi fish can only grow to its full potential in a larger pond, break free from any limitations and reach your true potential.

‘Abuse’ is a term used to describe any behaviour that is harmful, hurtful, or violent towards another person. For example, physical abuse involves hitting, punching, or any other form of physical harm. Emotional abuse involves humiliation, belittling, or any behaviour that undermines a person's self-worth. Sexual abuse involves any non-consensual sexual activity. Financial abuse involves withholding income or controlling finances, leaving victims feeling powerless. Psychological abuse involves threatening behaviour or any action that causes fear or anxiety.
In general, abuse is any abnormal use or neglect of anything beneficial. Neglecting your health is abusing your body, while worrying and being fearful instead of believing and acting on the Word of God is abusing your faith. You can abuse your prayer life by not making it your lifestyle. You can even abuse your finances by not starting or stewarding your business to produce the money it should give you. Take a moment to reflect on your life and ask yourself what you're not utilizing as you should. Remember that God has given you everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
Walls played a vital role in medieval warfare and provided a significant advantage to defenders. They formed a formidable barrier against enemy forces, helping to protect the inhabitants and resources within the fortified area. Walls were also important for creating a sense of identity and community among the residents. Walls are still used as defense systems in certain situations today. Some countries use walls along their borders as a means of protecting against security threats. Military installations, high-security facilities, and historical sites also use walls to prevent unauthorized access.
God also uses a wall of defense to protect and preserve what is precious and valuable to Him, and that wall is you. Just as a city's wall of defense needs regular maintenance to remain strong and resilient, you also require consistent input and support from the bricks of the Word and a well-fortified life of prayer. As God's chosen defense in your family, workplace, church, community, and country, your presence shields against enemy attacks and enables God’s will to prevail.

As an observer of nature, it's clear that when a house is neglected, nature quickly takes over. Animals will make their homes inside, while plants will overgrow. The very same animals and plants that were once prevented from entering the property by its owners will now claim it as their domain. This highlights the importance of man's responsibility to dominate and manage what's been created. The same applies to your own physical dwelling – your body. Unless it's properly maintained, it will soon exert control over you.
Many people think of the lust of the flesh only in sexual terms. However, controlling our appetite for food is equally important. Apostle Paul said he put his body under subjection every day. This means disciplining one's body rather than letting the appetites of the flesh control.
You too can exercise control over your appetite. Try this simple exercise. The next time you feel hungry, wait a few minutes before eating, even if food is right in front of you. This small change reminds your flesh that you’re in control and can help you take charge of your appetite.

Prayer is the bedrock of Christianity, and your prayers are protocol that prepare the way for you. If you wait until you are in trouble to pray, you are too late. The scripture reminds us that prayer makes tremendous power available. This power is not just for the moment but for the future as well. We do not wait for problems to arise before we begin to pray, but rather we pray ahead.
You can bank prayer. The more you pray, the bigger your deposits in the spiritual realm. When you pray ahead, you are not only preparing yourself for what is to come, but you are also demonstrating your faith in God. You are declaring that you trust His plans for your life and believe in the efficacy of His Spirit to aid you in prayer to address every situation.

The joy of the Lord cannot be found in material possessions or worldly pleasures. As Christians, we know that true joy is the outworking of the Spirit of God in us. The Psalmist declares that in the Lord’s presence is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Joy is not a fleeting emotion but rather a state of being that comes from fellowship with God through the consumption of the Word and prayer. We find joy in Him.
His joy uplifts us and enables us to see the world from our position in Christ, far above anything that could trouble us. The Apostle Paul reminds us to "Rejoice in the Lord always." (Philippians 4:4). Joy is our way of life. When we live a life of joy, we are able to share that joy with others, spreading hope and encouragement wherever we go.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
Have you ever noticed that when tragedy strikes, God is usually the first One blamed? When calamity befalls a person, often the cry is, “Why did God allow this to happen?” As Christians, we know that God is not out to punish us or exact revenge; in fact, His Word assures of quite the opposite. However, in moments of distress and despair, when a person’s mind is clouded by fearfulness and grief, the will of God often comes into question.
God’s will, however, is not a mystery. His will is His Word, and in His Word, He makes it clear that His desire is not for anyone to suffer or perish. Instead, He wants everyone to experience the abundance of blessings He has provided through Christ. However, it’s possible to reject the will of God. He does not force His will on anyone because His love demands your free will. So, when you look into the Word of God and see His glorious will for your life, understand that it is not automatic. You must respond in faith by acting on what you believe. He loves you enough to give you a choice. Love Him enough to say “Yes!”

Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
In an age of rising technologies and waves of self-centeredness, it can be challenging to maintain a godly outlook. With nearly unlimited access to resources tailored for this ‘me, myself, and I’ generation, the focus is often solely on ourselves with little regard for those around us. With social media networks emboldening these individualistic mindsets, every day many of us are faced with decisions: where should my attention go? Who or what should I prioritize?
As Christians, we can combat this rampant ‘me’ culture by committing ourselves completely to the crucified life and its principles. This means rejecting selfishness, putting aside our own ambitions for the sake of the Gospel and advancing the Kingdom of God, and allowing God’s love to dictate how we respond to difficult situations. Though this world may tell us the way to go is to be selfish and follow mandates meant only to gain earthly pleasure or material possessions, let’s instead focus on sacrificially loving each other without compromising to worldly standards. In this sea of ‘me, myself, and I,’ the crucified life is a beautiful beacon of hope!

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The pursuit of eternal youth is a tale as old as time, and in today's world, the anti-ageing age-defying cosmetic industry is thriving like never before. Valued at an astounding $58.5 billion in 2020, this rapidly growing market shows no signs of slowing down, with projections reaching $83.2 billion by 2027. Society's deep-rooted desire for a youthful appearance and the fear of ageing and death fuel this relentless quest for agelessness, making it one of the most lucrative industries in the world.
However, the fountain of youth is already within you! It isn't hiding in a product but originates from the Word of God which gave you life.

The chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don’t worry—he has nothing on Me, no claim on me.
At Spirit Embassy, the GoodNews Church, God gave us a physical representation of our spiritual identification, which we call our GoodNews badge. This badge transcends a mere fashion accessory. The symbols etched upon it represent our collective spiritual identity and serve as a sacred reminder of our Prophet's calling, the vision of our ministry, and God's unending grace. There is a grace attached to the wearers of this badge such that they are marked in the realm of the spirit and identified with everything the badge represents.
Who you identify with is crucial. The Bible warns that the devil is a cannibalistic creature, preying on those who are like him. He seeks out that which connects someone to him and makes them an easy target. However, by embracing the message of grace, you can render yourself undevourable to the devil and fortify yourself against his attacks. Grace is the only weapon against which the devil has no defence. Grace empowers you to reject anything that aligns with the devil. Marinate yourself in the message of grace, and proclaim confidently, "The devil has no power over me!"
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is mandated by grace. Therefore, the devil has no claim on me, no power over me, nor anything he can use against me.

Philippians 2:7 (KJV)
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
In this day and age, we hear constantly that your reputation is everything. You're most likely to get that business deal or access to that connection because of good reputation. People will even spend money they don't have just to uphold a certain reputation.
In todays' scripture, we're told that our prime example; The Lord Jesus made himself of no reputation. It wasn’t people who made him lose his reputation by slandering him, no, he made himself of no reputation, he chose it. He was focused on doing the Fathers will and not that of those around him - he was focused on integrity.
As a Christian, you should have no reputation. Don't try to keep a reputation that keeps you looking good in the eyes of man yet your relationship with God is bad. Reputation is what man thinks of you, integrity is what God thinks of you. As long as God knows your heart that's what matters. Work on your relationship with your Father even more from this day – go even deeper. Integrity with Him is what counts!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am blessed to have integrity in the eyes of my God. I shall serve in the Kingdom with full focus on my calling and I am perfecting it from today in Jesus Mighty Name! Amen.

Psalm 86:11 (KJV)
Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
There are so many Christians who suffer from a serious deficiency of praying the wrong way. Some will pray long hours saying the wrong thing and wonder why things still don’t work in their lives. Remember it’s not about how long you pray but how right you pray.
So how does one pray based on today’s scripture? David said ‘unite’ my heart, and this gives us a clue as to how we ought to pray. When you pray, focus your attention on the Lord, and be conscious of what you’re praying about. Some people pray about so many things, and a moment later, they don’t remember what they just said. If you don’t remember what you prayed about, how would you know when God answers? So there needs to be a unity of heart, a focus on a specific desired outcome for a specific thing.
Unite your heart, turn off any distractions. Write your specific prayer points, meditate on scriptures that cover your case and expect an outcome, that’s a heart united. When you have made your definite request to the Lord, rejoice, and give Him glory, knowing that it’s done.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is united and focused today as I decree and declare a successful day, week, month and year, in Jesus Name! Amen.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Who would’ve thought that fear brings you good health? When most Christians hear the word fear, they immediately think of it in the negative. The word fear here is the word ‘Yare’; it means to reverence. It’s a healthy kind of fear that holds God with the highest honour.
The one who understands reverence is the one who knows the mind of the Lord, and the one who knows the mind of the Lord can instruct God! God said, “I am the Lord … that confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers” (Isaiah 44:26). When you follow the protocol of fear, you speak, and God backs up what you say with His own integrity!
Fear is a major component of the deeper life phase. It will cause you to choose things, not based on your appetite, but according to what God wants. Practise the dimension of reverence, of fear! Let your words be few. If you want to experience more or be used to do exploits in these end times, fear God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I stand in reverence of the Lord God I serve! As a result, every word I speak is backed up by Him. I cannot fail today or ever in Jesus Mighty Name!

John 16:33 (KJV)
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
If you look at the state the world is in, there’s hunger, poverty, insecurity, sickness and disease, death and despair – I could go on. But this is the difference between you and those suffering these worldly calamities: You are in Christ and He is in you. God never lied to us; He told us that we were going to experience tribulation, but he didn’t end there. He said be of good cheer despite what you see, why? Because He already won the battle against ALL bad things’ hallelujah!
It’s only when you look outside Christ that you become overwhelmed by troubles and corrupting influences in the world. He said, “In me, there’s peace; cheer up.” That’s His Word unto you, nothing in this world can put you down.
There’s success in life that’s independent of the world’s economics. True peace and prosperity are only found in Christ. Start speaking that peace and success. Declare it over your communities and nations. Stay in Christ, for in Christ you’ve overcome Satan, the world and its failing systems.

Romans 14:17 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
There are some Christians that have received the Holy Spirit, yet their hearts are full of troubles; they’re worried about many things. They’re worried about their children, their health, business, etc. They just seem to have so many reasons to not be happy. When you ask them how they’re doing, they always have one negative thing to say or the other. Today’s verse shows us there’s a relationship between joy and the Holy Ghost. There is no way you can be a spirit filled Christian and not be full of joy, never! Only babes in Christ who don’t realise who they are can live that way.
You might say, “With the things happening in my life, I need a change of environment; I need to travel somewhere I can really be happy.” No! Don’t look to anything external to give you joy. Joy is one of the fruits of your recreated human spirit. So, it’s in you. Your spirit produces endless joy. It’s called, “...joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8).
Be joyful ALWAYS! The Spirit of God does more for you in an atmosphere of joy and happiness than bleakness and misery. So, make up your mind to be joyful, today, and always.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have joy that comes from the inner man and transcends physical circumstances. My joy is of the Spirit, and independent of circumstances; I’m ever strong for the joy of the Lord is my strength! Hallelujah!

2 Peter 1:4 (KJV)
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Did you know that as a Christian, though you have a country of origin, a culture and a traceable genealogy you’re actually born of God? Your very origin is in God; you’re born of Him; you came from Him.
Today’s verse shows the Christian isn’t an ordinary person; he’s a partaker of the divine nature. My prayer is that you understood what that means! It means you’re in God’s class of being, you’re an associate of the God-kind. So, when you say you’re more than a conqueror, this is what it’s about; you’re not merely quoting scriptures. This is a reality.
As He is, so are we in this world; meaning that as He’s divine, so are we divine.
Divine health is your nature, not a hope or promise from God, because you’re born of God’s incorruptible seed - His Word. Therefore, the life in you can’t be corrupted by sickness, disease, or death. Refuse to accept that it’s “normal” or okay for a Christian to be sick; it’s not.
Meditate on this truth until it sinks in your spirit and becomes your experience. Refuse to accommodate anything that’s inconsistent with your equality with divinity.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is full of glory, dominion, and excellence. Therefore, I walk conscious of my divine nature today and always, reigning over Satan and his cohorts of Hell, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Proverbs 16:2 (KJV)
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
No matter how highly gifted or anointed you are, when it’s mixed with pride, it’s not acceptable to God. In my time ministering the Word of God around the world, I’ve seen highly spiritually gifted Christians, including pastors, whose work turned to emptiness, because they weren’t walking in humility, everything they did was pure in their own eyes but not to God. You see God doesn’t look at the size of your church building to determine your success, nor does he look at your bank account or the number of followers you have, he weighs the heart.
Everything you do in the house of God is an offering to Him; But God won’t accept your offering if it’s mixed with selfishness and greed; pomposity, pride and arrogance. Greatness in the house of God isn’t measured by some results that you have achieved or attained. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:5, “God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourself, do a little introspection today and correct yourself through the scriptures.

Psalm 2:8 (KJV)
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Is it possible for God’s power to be confined or made of zero effect? Emphatically yes! There are certain instances that no matter what, things simply will not shift in your life because the power of God in you is short circuited. Why or how? you might ask; well, God is confined to your words. Whatsoever you say is what He will do.
You see, today’s scripture gives insight into the magnitude of God´s desires for you to function in. He said I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. Notice how it doesn’t say I will give you a new house or a new car. While those are still necessary, God is saying think bigger, think NATIONS! That’s how big your scope should be.
Gone are the days of all-night prayer and fasting for a small loan from the bank or for a new job, think “I am a possessor of Nations!” When you pray for small things, God is limited to that prayer. Open your mind to greater things! Look square in the mirror and tell yourself; “I am too global to be local”. Glory!!

Ecclesiastes 3:13 (KJV)
And also, that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Life is a gift, and a calling from God. Everything in life, including the world around you, was created for your benefit. All you need to enjoy life to the full is to be who God called you to be as you stay in the Word. Some Christians work flat out day in and day out, the workload is so extensive that the money they get seems like a curse rather than a blessing.
The scripture says eat, drink, and enjoy the good of your labour. You can have and enjoy your best life now if you simply make the decision to. You don’t have to wait for the government of your country to set things right and make society conducive before you enjoy your life. You don’t wait for a job promotion or for clients to flock to your store – learn to enjoy your life even before you hit your expected milestones.
You have been called into God’s rest. Take charge of your life and enjoy it to its fullest, for God has made you a sharer, partner and participator of the divine nature.

Do not be deceived: Bad company ruins good morals.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen people with so much potential waste it all away because they tagged themselves to bad company. It is a sad thing to see. People get messed-up when they get involved with a messed-up person.
If you’ve had or have friends with whom you’re not experiencing any meaningful spiritual progress, or whose friendship hinders your effectiveness in the Gospel, it’s high time you gave up such friendships. Don’t negotiate; just end it, so your Christian life becomes exactly what God said it should be.
One precious woman, some years back, came to me asking for a blessing to perform catchy praise songs in nightclubs and pubs as a form of evangelism. I told her expressly not to do it as God had shown me the same lady falling by the wayside as a result. She didn’t listen, and of course, as sure as I had seen it, she became a secular music singer complete with an abominable lifestyle and skimpy outfits befitting nightclubs. What happened? Bad company! You have those ‘baddies’ in your phone right now- start deleting!

Praying for those over you ought to be an essential part of your prayer life. Paul shows here that it is the prayers of the saints that enable ministers to fearlessly preach the gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Ministry is no easy feat and not without challenges, so prayer strengthens those who’re at the helm of it. Your prayers also grant more grace to preach the Gospel with boldness and power, that many more souls are added to the Church all around the world.
So, take time out today to pray that men and women of God, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers, and Pastors and all those who take on lead roles in churches are given utterance and emboldened by the Holy Spirit. As you pray, more souls come to the knowledge of Christ as a result.

Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith and fear work in the exact same way. Fear comes by hearing the words of the devil just as faith comes be hearing the Word of God. It is so essential for a Christian to always remember the words; “What did God say?”
If you get a bad diagnosis, you must ask yourself this question. When all odds seem stacked up against you, ask yourself the question. What is God’s take in this matter? What does the Bible say? Understand brothers and sisters, God will never be part and parcel of sickness, nor will He be a part of abject poverty or a family breakdown. All bad comes from the devil. So, you cannot be lied to by the enemy that you deserve blood pressure because it runs in the family, that’s fear being instilled in you by listening to negativity.
Never yield to fear because of an evil report. An evil report is any report that’s not consistent with the provisions of the Gospel; anything that negates your rights, privileges, ability, and heritage in Christ Jesus. Get enough of the word of God in you and grow in faith.
Always ask; “What did God say?”

As a Christian in this dispensation, you are to live in the Name of Jesus; function in His place, with His authority, and in His character.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
There is so much talk in society today about judgement. Whether it’s not wanting to be judged, or the judgment of God on people, or debates about judging others, it is a confusing subject for many. But what does the Bible actually says about it? Today’s verse says by our OWN spirits, we can tell when we've done something wrong, so we ought to judge ourselves so that we might not be judged of the Lord.
When you examine yourself and find fault, act on the Word of God: receive forgiveness. You don't ask for forgiveness, which is where a lot of people miss it. Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy…" Notice it doesn't say, "… and ask for mercy?" Instead, it says "to obtain," that is, collect it.

For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The demonstration of power from on high is part of this package, but very few Christians are walking in that power. You are infused with God's DNA in Christ and set apart to be a sign and a wonder to your generation, but nobody knows you. The power is resident in you doing nothing; until you begin to use that power, it will profit you nothing. Until you start to exercise that power of God that is resident in you, your life will not show forth His glory, God has already given you power, it's left with you to use it.
The workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus connotes God's masterpiece. God took His precious time to mold you. You are His body parts; you are fashioned in God's image with divine elements to act like God, to establish things as God will exactly do. If you realize that you are a partaker of God's divine nature in the true sense, you will act differently, come to that consciousness today and move in the power and authority of Christ.

One of my non-negotiables is this: prosperity is mine, anything contrary to this is of the devil, and I reject it. Poverty is of the devil that comes to rob you of your peace, joy, health, and your very life; while prosperity comes to establish your joy, peace, health, and fullness of life. God's Word is very clear that He will bless you so that you become a blessing. You are blessed beyond measure to lend to nations and borrow from none!
One of the reasons why God gave this year's theme also as the "Year of Money" for those in business is to ensure the transfer of wealth from the hands of the wicked to the hands of the righteous whose intent is bent on sponsoring the GoodNews to every village, town, city, and country. It's this tradition of equating poverty with holiness that has made the Word of God of no effect in several Christian communities today.

He's the author and finisher of our faith. God is not slow; His timing is perfect when you abide in Him.
Remember, God is doing the calling here, and the faithfulness of God never fails. He said several times in His Word that "His faithfulness will never fail (Psalm 89:33 KJV). I have seen in the prophetic where God's Word spoken through me came to pass, and people ask, how did he do it? Don't forget that it's God who is talking through me, and so, when He speaks, He ensures the performance of what has been spoken. I have said several times that in ministry when God gives you a vision, He supplies the provisions to execute the vision. When in ministry and constantly struggling with provisions, then there is a need for a revision of your vision.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a proof-producing Christian called to greatness. I walk in God's divine plans for my life and will not take a detour. My walk with God will create in me the knowledge and strength to experience Heaven on Earth. Amen!

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Word of God, according to this scripture, is "living": it breathes, it sees, it moves, it reasons. This signifies the more of the Word of God in you, the more you are able to capture the thoughts and intents of men. God's Word can go on a mission and accomplish it without fail, yes God sends His Word and heals them. Let's go deeper on this one: John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God". This same Word became flesh and dwelt amongst men, and we beheld the glory of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth. That's Jesus!
The Holy Spirit lives in you to do exploits for Christ. In this year of Heaven on Earth, just speak the Word with boldness, and you will surprise yourself to see complex situations evaporate. It's an error to have the living, breathing two-edged sword living in you, yet headaches and fever want to pin you down and you don't speak the Word. Begin to speak the Word over your family, your business, your finances and provoke a change in the name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am shielded in His Word, protected by His spirit, yes, Christ in me the hope of glory. I shall never be defeated, I shall speak boldly the Word of God to enact changes in my life!

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (KJV)
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Why will Apostle Paul deem it important to mention "highly esteemed" in respecting leaders placed over you? God is the one who chooses a vessel, so by honouring that Man of God, you are honouring God. A Man of God carries a degree of grace; hence your level of submission, honour and respect will trigger the anointing they carry working for you. The anointing that you truly honour and respect will certainly work for you. The moment you decide to unconditionally honour those placed over you even in leadership, the sooner your life will experience growth.
There is a lot that a Man of God does behind the scenes. Remember, he's a man of God, not your man, so holding a man of God in the highest esteem is honouring God, who chose him. The man of God is the vessel that God uses to bless you, so you have a responsibility to honour him.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I will be deliberate and choose to honour and respect those that are placed over me. I shall be a son of consolation, prepare to honour those placed over me in deeds and in words, and I will shine forth wherever I go in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The scripture for today is very clear that when your mind is focused on God, unmovable regardless of situations, God himself will keep you. In other words, the safety and security you are looking for, can only be found in God. Your trust in God is derived from his Word which is full of promises concerning you. Remember that we are in this world but not of this world. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5 KJV). The mind of Christ does not entertain stress or anxiety. The mind of Christ is not troubled by current events, nor gets frustrated when faced with circumstances.
We live in a world where peace is very elusive. We see around us confusion and chaos. We hear of peace accords, peace treaties and peace agreements, but rarely are such engagements honored or respected. Only King Jesus, the prince of peace, can offer lasting and durable peace to a world in turmoil. God's peace surpasses human understanding because it's not worldly. God's peace is not derived from things and accolades but from inner satisfaction generated through your fellowship with the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit takes over, your finances will gain stability; your spiritual growth will be outstanding for all to see.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My peace is of God, which is indestructible; my life is a manifestation of God's peace; it emanates from within me. I cannot be broken by circumstances, I shall come out stronger, better and bigger in Jesus name!

Hosea 1:7 (KJV)
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Understand this, the vicissitudes of life will demand more to obtain the victory you need than the physical realm can provide. A Christian isn't excused from attacks of the enemy, and in fact, sometimes it gets worse once you have made the bold decision to follow Christ. The reality you now live in Christ should be dependent on the workings of the Holy Spirit that is resident in you, not yourself. That's why Apostle Paul can boastfully say: "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13.
Understand this, God's strategy for winning is deliberately expressed in His Word concerning you. He said He knows the plans He thinks towards you; they are thoughts of peace and not of evil (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV). Right there, we know that whatever is evil is not of God. God's thought process is articulated clearly: He thinks of giving us hope and an expected end. When there seems to be a derailment of my expected end, I know it's the enemy, not God. The GoodNews is God who knows the end from the beginning is in control, and your victory is already guaranteed!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am already victorious in my undertakings as God's agenda is the focus. I am abiding in God as he abides in me. I cannot fail in life as the Holy Spirit leads me. Amen!

Luke 7:13 (AMP)
When the Lord saw her, He felt [great] compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep".
The moment you are moved, you instantly open yourself to reach out to another level of grace where healing begins to flow through your body to your extremities and then when you touch the sick, they recover. If there is no movement within you that will align with the person's plight and create an atmosphere where the power of God will flow, then you have embarked on a futile exercise.
It is difficult or impossible if you are not moved by the plights, needs, and infirmities of others, which is like feeling the intestine twisting to cause excruciating pains to yourself, yet you want God to use you to heal them! The element of compassion could be there, but it requires being stirred on the inside in the first instant. Being moved makes something unexplainable to be triggered in your spirit. It's like feeling the pains of the person needing healing. To heal the cancer sufferer, the diabetic, the deaf and dumb; you have to feel what they feel from the inside out, then God's healing power will flow from your extremities as you draw close to the sick.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall walk in the healing power of God. I am anointed to heal the sick. Therefore, I shall feel what they feel, I shall experience what they experience and God's power will flow through me to them as I lay my hands on them, they shall recover in the name of Jesus.

Acts 20:24 (AMP)
But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God's [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].
When I started preaching and teaching the grace message, even Christians didn't understand the revelation. Therefore, they negatively interpreted the whole meaning of the grace message. It must be stated emphatically here that grace is not a license to sin. It's the goodness of God that leads one to repentance. When God's goodness overwhelms you, you are bound to take a detour as you are constantly marinated in His love. The amplified text puts it clearly that it's an "underserved", "precious" gift that liberates you from the guilt of sin, which is simply missing the mark.
The reality of grace is so strong that when you think that you blew it this time, God continues to lavish you with unending love. God never stops loving you in your missteps. Apostle Pauls highlighted it in Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a product of God's unending love and care. I have been called forth to partake of the goodness of God's grace. This gift is just too good to believe, but yes, it's true, the reality I live in now in this year of Heaven on Earth. Amen!

Deuteronomy 2:25 (KJV)
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole Heaven, who shall hear report of thee and be in anguish because of thee.
The children of Israel's departure from Egypt were predicated upon the Word of God spoken to Moses that they would possess a land flowing with milk and honey. God was their Global Positioning System (GPS) who navigated them through the scorching heat of the desert under the canopy of a cloud by day to absorb the heat and pillar of fire by night to give them warmth from the freezing temperatures at night. God's strategy of preserving their lives was unique and unprecedented. This is the same God we serve whose strategy is to dwell in us now so that there is no occasional residence but a permanent abode.
Notice with God's spirit in you, your mere presence will provoke someone because of whose you are. When you appear on the scene, you will be the influencer, and what you say will carry weight and power. This is who you are in Christ. You are called to disciple nations, break the back of poverty that had raided your family for generations, and serve as a magnet to attract money in this year of Heaven on Earth.

1 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)
I planted, Appollos watered, but God gave the increase.
It's often said that God doesn't need your ability but your availability. God is the One who qualifies the called. When you disqualify yourself to God's service and feel weak, understand that God's strength is made perfect in your weakness. When you make yourself available, there is always something to do in the house of the Lord. There is one particular area where everyone is qualified, and that's in giving to ensure that the GoodNews of God's grace is spread abroad to all nations and continents. When you consider this as a form of service, then you know whenever a Man of God travels and performs miracles and healings, you are with him.
The scripture for today speaks of three cycles involved when it comes to service within the body of Christ. Those who initiate the process are the planters, but planting a Church is only the beginning. The Church must be watered with the WORD constantly and consistently. It should excite you to be involved with ministry in whichever department and whatever capacity. The ultimate goal is to advance the kingdom of God. Once you become passionate about any department within the ministry, take it as your calling; don't wait to be asked. Offer to serve.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the calling and gift to participate in the work of the Lord. I can never sit nor be passive anymore, I take it to heart that my service will advance the kingdom of God now and always in Jesus' name!

Numbers 13:33 (KJV)
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
You see right there in the text what the children of Israel are doing to themselves. They have already defeated themselves to combat those they met in the promised land. A myopic mindset is defeatist; self-condemning and demeaning oneself will surely defeat the purposes of God for your life. The Spies' impression that they are too little and could be crushed like human beings stepping on grasshoppers is myopic. Who is keeping that desire and fire to enter business burning in you? Surely, it's the Lord'. He has already started the good work in you. You must apprehend this and begin to move into unchartered territories.
It's about time you start this business that you have long desired, now is the time to go global and create an impact that will survive generations. Today as you are moved by the Holy Spirit, do not relax, don't be like the spies that belittle themselves in their own eyes. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:…." Stop being myopic in your thinking and see God expand the frontiers of possibilities for your rising in Jesus' name.

Matthew 13:25 (KJV)
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
In this scripture, the enemy didn't plant when the Sower was awake; the enemy didn't appear when the Sower was alert and sowing. The enemy was far removed from the vicinity of the field when the Sower was removed from slumber. The enemy started sowing his lethal tares when the Sower was asleep! This is a year of Heaven on Earth. In Heaven, there is no sleep, no time for a siesta or snoozing. Clearly, that little nap and dozing to sleep is the pathway to give the enemy access to your field, your business, to your finances, to your marriage, to your children, your spouse, to your career!
The problem we have in the Church is most Christians are sleeping; some even take it to Church! In this year of ‘MONEY' for those in business, there is no more time to sleep. Let your eyes be wide open to protect your household from any sudden attack from the enemy. Make sure that every atmosphere in your house is saturated with the presence of the Lord and that you are about your Father's business. The Bible puts it this way in Proverbs 6:10-11 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man”.

Luke 17:1 (KJV)
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
A true Christian must have a teachable spirit to accept correction and take honest rebukes to better their lives. If you decide never to change, of course, the simplest of corrections will be taken as an offense. Unforgiveness swallowed by taking offense is like a slow poison taken by the one who takes offense. This will slowly drain your energy, blur your vision and derail your focus, don't be tricked by the enemy. Never be offended over little things or trivial matters. Choose to be joyful in the face of adversity. Learn to forgive when offended, and don't be the one through whom an offense is perpetrated.
Today's scripture implies that offense is inevitable in our dealings with fellow Christians. However, a spirit-filled Christian shouldn't take offense when corrected. Spiritual growth, at times, cannot happen in isolation or correction. There is a charge upon the man of God to correct and edify, all this is done with love to strengthen the Christian. A father who loves his children will chasten them with the sole intent of building them up for a greater assignment ahead. During prophetic moments I tell people to accept some form of discomfort for a few minutes and experience a glorious life of abundance for a lifetime. Let this be your mindset.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is steadfast on the Lord and will not be moved by offenses regardless of their intensity. I will draw my strength from God's Word and declare victory over every offense in Jesus name!

Matthew 14:29 (KJV)
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Jesus.
The main Word you need to underline in this verse is “come”. The assumptions of the disciples, fears, and apprehension all faded when Jesus mentioned to them, "come". Though in the preceding verse of the same chapter, it was Peter who asked Jesus to be commanded to come, but Jesus simply said "come" without mentioning the name, it means any of the disciples or all of them could have jumped out of the boat and walked on water like Peter.
The fact that Peter bravely took the first step after being commanded by the Lord Jesus means he was eager to put his faith in action, thus defying the molecular viscosity of water by walking on it. As long as Peter looked up to Jesus, he was fine walking on water. The only moment that made Peter sink was when he took his eyes off the Lord.
You must understand as long as you are focused on Jesus, your supernatural experience will be unending, your business will continue to grow, and your impact and relevance will be outstanding. Let Jesus be your focal point, your shield of defense as He continues to say "come," and surely, you will not go down!

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You are God's technology empowered to do exploits from the very moment of creation, the power to subdue, to dominate, and to replenish all knitted in your very being, so shortage and sickness shouldn't be part of your life, because you have the Zoe kind of life to repair any part of your life that is non-functional. By default, your life is a replica of God's life, so fruitfulness and financial abundance are your traits. When you malfunction, stop looking for solutions elsewhere, as you have the technological components to diagnose your faults and provide remedies in God's Word.
God's instruction manual to man is inscribed in today's scripture. Everything that is necessitated for man to function and dominate was infused into him by these words as spoken by God. You can now see why I say that my worth is wrapped up in the words I speak. This goes for every Christian; you have been given dominion over everything, and the gene to be fruitful, multiply and replenish was injected in you. God puts you in charge of His creation with the power to control and dominate what comes against you.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
God formed man out of the dust but breathed the life-giving spirit into him, and man became a living soul. What we must understand is God cannot stoop down to infuse this breath of life into man, it's bowing to man or worshipping man and God cannot worship man. The breath of life was given in a position God deemed fit that man will typify his image and character. The original rendering "lower than god" is lower than Elohim (Mighty God) himself, not angels.
If the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then the demonstration of power is expected of you as a participant in God's divine nature. You cannot carry God's genes and move in isolation of power. No, not possible! Begin to exercise your God-given power with boldness, don't be shy, it will be pride that stops you from speaking as God's oracle. Speak what you want to see in your bank account, speak stability to your business, and expect it to produce. Speak figures and timelines, and you will be shocked at how your life will transform in Jesus' name!

Matthew 24:7 (KJV)
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
We must realize that the things that happen on the Earth are not random. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. God is the Alpha and Omega, which means the One who starts the beginning after finishing the end. The God who took the time to number the hair strands on your head and is fascinated with every fibre of your being is awesome! When you understand the complexity of yourself from the inside out, then you know God is not mad with you but mad about you. We are at the eschatos, the end of the end, and the words of Jesus are as impactful as the time they were declared, for He sees the end from the beginning.
From today's scripture, you need not be told that we are at the end; all the visible signs are there to see unambiguously. What is happening around us is prophesied long ago by King Jesus Himself. We have experienced pestilences of global proportions never before seen. The GoodNews is, as a Christian, you are not caught unaware as these things happen. The Bible, in fact, tells us to cheer up when these things are taking place because then our redemption is near. Cheer up, the Word works!

We are getting to a place where sensitivity trumps truth. Christians must understand that we live in a world that attires the devil as a symbol of truth, yet Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the ultimate truth, the very essence, and the definition of truth. Today, we have social media platforms, (moderators of truth) who don't know the truth. A deliberate effort has been made to test Christians’ patience and obedience. Social media platforms fear the influence of God's agenda on the Earth, so they muzzle Christians.
You have to realize that our faith is voice-activated, so we must speak to dismantle hurdles and conquer territories. If we are prohibited from speaking as a Christian, it's like cutting the oxygen supply to a human being. We are mandated in Job 22:28, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" so you see, silence is not an option for us, keep saying it, keep speaking it, and your lifting will be visible for all to see.

Romans 14:4 (KJV)
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
My years in ministry taught me so many things, both spiritual and corporeal. As a son of the Apostle to this last dispensation, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, a general in the faith, comes with wisdom. One of the things that I learned from my Man of God is to accept and call anyone what they want to be called. For example, if a Man of God wants to be called "Bishop" you call him "Bishop", or "Archbishop", let it be. Whatever the title claimed, let it be. The Lord Jesus is the Master of us all. I tell people never to sit in a position where they want to play God, for our God alone is a righteous judge.
The scripture for today gives us an idea of how God, who knows the end from the beginning, deals with His servants. The strong phrase at the end of the text, "for the Lord is able to make them stand" should enlighten you to the fact that God is merciful. Whatever you may have heard out there of God's servants, it's the Lord who decides. Your primary responsibility as a Christian in any situation involving a servant of the Lord is to pray, edify and build them where possible.

1 Corinthians 4:20 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Evidently, lack of power is absolute proof that God is not there. There must be a demonstration of power to show God's endorsement. Let me mention here also that having power doesn't necessarily mean that God is present. There can be eloquence of speech, but if there is no power to illustrate the dominance of God's supremacy, then the presence of God becomes a debate. We live in a world and generation that seeks after signs, miracles, and wonders. Even during the days of Jesus, the eagerness and burning desire for signs were never silent.
There is a burden of proof required to show that our God heals and provides, that God is more than able to do exceedingly, abundantly, beyond that which we can think or imagine. Notice everyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Saviour is endowed with the power to perform signs, wonders and miracles in the name of Jesus. Power was made available to you long ago, but how much of that power have you exuded? It's now the moment and season for you to rise and show forth God's glory by healing the sick; do not count yourself out and think it's the duty of certain people, no! You have the Holy Spirit in you that does the work; all He needs is your availability, not your ability.

1 Samuel 30:8 (KJV)
And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
The word "pursue" in the Hebrew rendering is "râdaph" which means to run after, usually with hostile intent, to chase, put to flight, to hunt. When David inquired of the Lord after the Amalekites raided his town and took away his family, including his soldiers, the clear intent was to chase with hostility. I tell Christians that a certain level of understanding and mindset is required to do business. The impression out there is that Christians are to be humbled and kind and just accept everything, even when the devil is robbing them of their families, possessions, health, promotion, finances and joy!
In this year of Heaven on Earth, the prophetic has been spoken over your life, now you have to râdaph; go out to recover your family and ignite the love that has waxed cold, chase the enemy to his camp and take that which he has plundered from you. There should be no relenting, retreating, and compromising until you capture what belongs to you.

I always tell people that my value is determined by what I say, and my worth is not constrained by figures inferred by pundits.

Some Christians will say, "I don't know how to pray"; when you don't know what to pray and how to pray, it's time you ask the Holy Spirit, who will teach you his patois, unfruitful to the ordinary senses but powerful in the realm of the spirit. As you speak in tongues, portals of Heaven are open with angels descending with your answer. Things that you struggle for, in your business, in your family, in your spiritual walk - will be interceded for by the Holy Spirit in accordance with the will of God as you speak in tongues. Don't neglect your prayer life because that is what sustains you as a Christian. Take it seriously!
Jesus' disciples turned the world upside down by putting on a dangerous garment called ‘PRAYER'. The disciples were so wrapped up in prayer that it became a lifestyle. They were always in prayer mode to the point that they named a certain hour of the day ‘hour of prayer’. It was a usual way of life for them. No wonder they turned the world upside down in their dispensation. Prayer is the foundation of Christianity. If you can find time to eat, you should equally find time to pray.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a powerhouse of prayer. I know prayer is not everything, but prayer changes everything. This year, my prayer life will continue to shift to live Heaven on Earth. Amen!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The dimension of humans is vulnerable to all kinds of calamities and failures. The greatest agenda of the enemy is to remind you that you are human, born of flesh and blood. When you admit to that, you have given yourself to the god of this world and your defeat will be guaranteed.
By virtue of being in Christ, the Bible says you are now a new creature! The word “new” is the Greek word “kainos” which means a creature that never existed before. When they try to remind you of your past weaknesses and failure, just let them know that you never existed before. You are a brand-new creature on the face of the earth. You never existed, never sinned, or committed any inequity.
As you understand this revelation, you shall begin to metamorphose into a new creature, and poverty shall be a thing of the past in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

I am a new creature, and I live in the realm of limitless possibilities. My ability is not limited by the forces of this world. Amen!

Exodus 13:21 (KJV)
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
The Bible says when the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord would be a pillar of fire at night and a cloud in noonday. God gave them a tailor-made climate and environment to protect them from harsh desert conditions. The desert is very harsh; it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day. With such knowledge, God chose to give them a tailor-made climate and environment. What the Israelites were experiencing was different from what other races were experiencing.
As you feed on this Word, the Lord has created a unique climate for you. When others say there is a going down, you shall say there is a lifting up. Remember, you are an ambassador of Heaven; you are fed and supplied from above. Nothing to fear on this Earth because we are in the world, but we are not of this world. Our environment is from above. We live a Heaven on Earth life and those who come in our environment shall surely witness the presence of Heaven.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
The children of Israel faced their biggest dilemma in their bid to come out of the Egyptian yoke of servitude. When the pharaoh released them, he, later on, changed his heart and started to pursue them again. That’s the persistence of the enemy. They found themselves between a vicious Egyptian army and a roaring river. When the prophet Moses thought of crying unto the Lord, it seemed God was not interested in entertaining the great prophet. His answer was simple, “Do not cry to me but let the children of Israel march forward”.
Today as you are taking this Word, just make bold steps towards your goals. There might be some signs of resistance or impossibilities but continue to march forward. Just as God provided the solution when they reached the red sea, He shall also provide the solution when you get to the point of need. That business you didn’t know how to push to the next level is changing as you make bold steps toward your destination! March forward, and your miracle will encounter you at the place of your assignment. Hallelujah!

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
I always tell people that if you show me your friends, I can easily predict your future. I don’t need to prophesy but by seeing your company, I can tell where you are heading in life. The people you surround yourself with, can either add or take away value from your life. The Bible says bad company or communications corrupt character, which means your company or the people you relate with have the power to corrupt you or build you up.
Take time to reflect and do an introspection of your own radius. If there are people who are not adding value to you, there is then no need to keep them in your life. Keep only those who add value to your life and change you to be a better person. Your solution is next to you, you just need to assess your radius and cut off every parasite feeding on your blood! Check your phone book and scroll through all the numbers, you will realize that some people are not adding value to your Christian walk, business or anything that benefits you in life.

The Bible says God never sleeps nor slumbers. What an ability or technology that causes God never to sleep or slumber. This means God does not have a yesterday or tomorrow because he never slept. He is more awake and more active for your sake!
Our scripture above shows us how we can tap into the same technology of God, the ability to not faint, slumber, or get weary. He said to pray and not faint, which means the moment you stop praying, you get into a season of fainting. Your functionality is compromised by the lack of prayer. From today, make the decision to get back your grip and start praying like never before. It might be a few minutes of communing with God, but no prayer goes in vain.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
The spiritual world and revelation are not stagnant but very dynamic and diverse. Whatever knowledge you possess about God, just leave room for new information to be poured from above. If you get stuck in old understanding, you will be nothing different from someone who is stuck in the mud.
Our scripture above ends by commending us for being established in the present truth. Note for there to be present truth, it means there is past and future truth. Some revelations are barely old truths that the church is still riding on. For you to know God as the one who performs miracles, it’s revelation but old revelation, but as of now, we know that in Him we move, live, and have our being, which means we are the ones performing the miracles. We are the miracle workers!
Christ is doing everything through us, not for us. This is the present truth, brothers and sisters! Hallelujah!

Many a time we base our faith on our connections, education, or influence. Apostle Paul here reiterated that never glory in men. This means never base your trust on men, for it is God who owns everything and if we are in Him we also own everything. Apostle Paul went on to say, ”all things are yours”. The Word doesn’t say some things are yours, but all are yours! The promotion that you want is yours. The position that you cry for is already yours! God gave us everything that pertains to life and godliness.
You have all things at your disposal; just see it, speak it and possess it! You are ordained for a Heaven on Earth life, a life with no lack or anything missing.

When you get to the army there are different regiments and different roles that the soldiers play. All of them might be in camouflage but some will be in the kitchen cooking, and some sewing the garments. There is a special group which is the frontline soldiers, these are the ones who stand on the firing line. They are ready to face the blazing guns. The same applies for Christians and ministries, there are some who are in the army but hiding in the barracks and some who are ready to take up the responsibility to change the world!
Our scripture for today talks of heroes of faith. These ones were giants who were ready to be on the front line. When lions and all persecution came, they were ready to stand for the sake of the gospel. Refuse to be passive about your Christianity, be radical in every sense!

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
The moment righteousness is mentioned, most Christians will be thinking of how they can be pure in the sight of God and how they can earn it. The Bible calls it a “gift” of righteousness. Do you know the meaning of a “gift”? A gift is something that you cannot earn or pay for. Righteousness to you and me is not something that we earn but it’s something freely given to all who received our Lord, Jesus Christ. There is nothing good that we can do to earn it, but it’s a package bestowed to us by God.
The devil must never fool you into thinking that you can do something to earn righteousness through your works. It’s not by works but by faith in God’s complete works. When God looks at you now, He sees you through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Your works have no room to occupy as it is all about Him and your duty is to just receive the gift .

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
When you utter words, remember those are not just mere words coming out of your mouth and vacate thin air. The words you utter have power to shape your life for the best or worst. You are where you are because of words spoken either by you or someone else. Put a premium and a standard to the words that proceed out of your mouth. This has nothing to do with your emotional position; it’s all about chatting the course of your life by words. Some tend to speak good when they have money in their pocket or something good is happening, but even in your worst moments, don’t allow negativity to come out of your mouth!
Jesus said the words He uttered are spirit and life. You are members of Jesus’ body and every word you speak is also spirit and life. If words contain life, it means they cannot die. If you speak broke language, ‘broke’ will be looking for every opportunity to make you lose money. Speak ‘success’, and ‘success’ will be looking for you to get all prosperity and increase. Change your language today as you are reading this prophetic messenger. Put a premium on the words you speak in and this year, you shall see glory in every area of your life.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
A tradition is a form of beliefs and customs transmitted from one generation to another. People are wired by traditions, either good or bad and whatever we become is a result of this. It is one of the strongest forces that can work against someone’s life. The Bible said Jesus could not do any mighty miracle when He went to His home country. Note the Bible didn’t say, “He did not do,” but He “could not do,” which means He even tried and failed. Although He was God in the flesh, there are things He failed to do for them because of traditions. They made the Word of God of non-effect by their belief systems.
Today is a new day; it’s a moment to go against all negative traditions. Your new understanding is that prosperity and power are yours. Believe everything that God says with no shadow of a doubt. If He said money is coming, for sure, it is coming! It’s not about where you were born but where you are going. You are going very far without any doubt; if they believe you shall not cross a certain age, just let them know that you are living longer to declare the goodness of the Lord.

Isaiah 12:3 (KJV)
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Deficiency means a lack or shortage of something needed. It might be in material resources, supplies or even nutrition. When nutritional deficiency happens inside a person, it leads to diseases or even death. Your spiritual life as a person can suffer the same if you are not feeding on everything that God said you should possess. Salvation is a balanced diet, a full package of everything. It contains everything that pertains to your own life. The same package of salvation needed for your money is needed for your health and all other areas of your life.
The prophet Isaiah said to draw from the “wells “ of salvation. The Bible doesn’t say “well” but “wells” in the plural, which means there is a well of money, health, intelligence, and all. As you read the Bible, apportion time and effort to every area of your life. Equally apportion your spiritual efforts towards all angles of your life. Nothing should be lacking at all in your life. The world shall see glory in your life.

The solution you are looking for from the outside is really on the inside of you. You might be asking me, ”man of God, is the job, health, or visa that I’m looking for inside of me ..” definitely YES!! The Bible says out of your belly shall flow rivers, not one river of living water. The river is not going to come from above. No matter how you pray or call for it, it is coming from within. Christ in you is the hope of all glory and everything that has given you sleepless nights. Know that the solution is with you!
Remember, Adam was a bachelor in the garden, yet he was moving with Eve inside of him. God only reached out to what was already in him, not outside. From within you, there are solutions because Christ is in you. Speak life, and those rivers of living waters will flow towards your ministry, business, marriage, health, education, and all!

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Most Christians are still stuck on the revelation that they are led by God. It sounds very spiritual when you claim that you are led by God, but that’s a primary understanding of what the Bible says. Our scripture above says we are members of His body, not only that but His bones and flesh. Do you know what this means? We are no longer led by Christ but we are His embodiment. He is no longer leading you, but He is in you. As He walks you also walk. Gone are the days where He leads you, you are now moving as He moves.
Let this understanding be instilled in you and you shall dominate your space. There is no high which is higher than the Most High. Every limitation or hurdle placed along your way is nothing when you are in Christ and Christ in you. Look at everything around you with this understanding that you are an embodiment of Christ.

Your success is tantamount to the revelation that you possess.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
An ambassador is an accredited diplomat sent by one nation or state to a foreign country as it’s representative. An ambassador is solely dependent on the supplies from his country of origin. An ambassador of America to South Africa is not affected by the changes that might take place in the economy of South Africa because their source is the county of origin. Furthermore, the residence of the American embassy in your country is more of America to the extent that if you set foot there, by diplomatic protocols, you are considered to be in America.
Now stay with me. The Bible says we are ambassadors of Christ, which means we represent God here on Earth. Therefore lack is not our portion because your country of origin is heavenly and in Heaven there is no lack or mediocrity. We live a life of Heaven on Earth and our supply will never run dry.

The world has it’s standards on what leads to success, but as children of God, we have our own way. Remember, we are in the world but not of the world. Paul said I went up by revelation! Revelation is an opening of eyes, more of a removal of scales. Success is a product of the revelation that you possess.

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
The devil is a spiritual being that is spiritually dead because of his disengagement with the giver of life. There are things that he will never know about you unless you update him on your own. From the days of Adam to Job, his approach was to find out information from an individual. He can only tell that you are sick or struggling by what you say or confess. He takes notes and spots a graph from the coordinates you give him through your worries. When negativity is spoken or any form of discontent happens, he will pick something out of that and pounce on the target.
Your own Bible says, “let the weak say I’m strong ..” not because of the healing which took place but because of the faith that we have in the master of all, Jesus Christ. Note the Bible didn’t say when you become strong, that’s when you say, “I’m strong “. The scripture reveals that while you are still weak, feeling the pain and things going down, say you are strong.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Belief is a state of acceptance that something exists or is true, whether with proof or not. For you to be a man or a woman, if you believe it then there is a problem. You don’t believe you are one, but you “know” you are. You have experiential knowledge about what you are saying. Believing is a lower level. It leaves room for argument and portals of doubt.

In our ministry, we have seen God doing unimaginable miracles, from healings and miracle money to resurrections! In us, there is no more room for doubt. We are at a better level, far beyond believing. It’s a level where the known and knower become one.

Matthew 10:30 (KJV)
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
God cares for you more than you care for yourself. There is nothing too big that He cannot stretch His hand to solve or too small for Him not to pay attention. He is closer to you than you are to yourself. Troubles of life might make you feel distanced from your master, but His position is still the same from eternity past to eternity future. The Bible says He numbered the strands of hair upon your head.
That sounds awkward to you because you don’t see the reason for paying attention to a little strand of hair. Get this, the word used as "numbered" does not mean general counting. To see the depth of it, the word “numbered” means “coded”, like each strand of hair has its unique code. When you drop one strand of hair in a saloon, God will say, “number 00024 has fallen”, this is how much He is concerned.
My brothers and sisters, if God can pay such attention to little things about your hair, what about your business, marriage, health, or education? He is more than concerned, and you shall see a turnaround coming to you in the name of Jesus! The eye of the Lord is upon everything that pertains to your life, and He loves you more than you love yourself.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The eye of the Lord is upon me 24/7, and His glory shall be witnessed by many upon my life. I shall not fail or lose anything, for God is on my case all the days of my life. Amen!

John 18:37 (KJV)
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Relevance is the state of being useful at a given time or place. When something loses value or relevance, there will be no need to keep that thing. The same principles govern the things of the spirit. Your main reason of existence is relevance, and the moment you cease to be relevant, you are a candidate for death or departure. Jesus lived up to around thirty-three years of age which most of you might say was too young to die, but His mission was accomplished. He had completed the will of His father on Earth.
From today escape death, sickness, and calamities by showing God that you are ready to be a vessel of honor. Do they miss you when you are not there at your church, family or so? If not so, then there is no significant change or impact that you are adding to the family. I pray for you today that you shall be relevant in the name of Jesus! As you read this prophetic message, refuse to be an ordinary individual but a vessel of honor.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a vessel of honor in the house of the Lord. My life is an answer to my generation. I shall live long to see the goodness of the Lord in my life. Amen!

Hebrews 12:28 (KJV)
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
When a light bulb is lit, you see all kinds of insects gathering around it, and it is that illumination that attracts insects, but if you observe closely, you will see that the insects will start distancing away. They might come for light, but the dimension of fire is not something they can easily contain. The Bible says God is light, but He is also the “consuming fire.” He said we are the light of the world, but in another passage of scripture, He made us, His ministers, to be like flames of fire.
You are the seed of Christ, not just the light but “flames of fire”. My brothers and sisters, you are too hot to handle! Diseases, stagnation, and all manner of misfortunes have no place in your life. Fire burns, fire cooks, penetrates, and kills! To everything that is bothering you today, the answer is FIRE! I command the fire of the Holy Ghost to burn every deposit of the enemy in your life in the name of Jesus. Go ahead, feed on the Word, and pray. Your prayers are not mere words but coals of fire burning all forms of diabolic invasions in the name of Jesus.

Matthew 13:24 (KJV)
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
The naval system is very acquainted with captains, and their roles are very broad more than mere leaders of a team. The United Nations has proper standards that govern ships, captains, and all those who sail in high waters. It is the sole duty of a captain to make sure that all safety measures are taken, timetables are followed, and the crew is adhering to all the standards. The duty of a captain is beyond pointing destinations but to make sure that everything on board will arrive at its destination safely, in perfect condition, and without risking others who use the same naval tracks.
There is something higher than these naval or sports captains, and that is spiritual or generational captains. You represent a family or a certain sphere of influence and you are a captain for those around you. The Bible revealed that a good man planted a good seed, but the enemy came while men were asleep. When generation captains sleep, the enemy will plant his own seed.
In this Deeper Life Phase, there is no playground, meaning there is no room to sleep while the enemy is planting discord, confusion, and embarrassment among us. We are on guard through prayer and supplications, and we shall not tire because we are generational captains.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a generational captain, and my family shall be safe because of me. There is no space for the enemy, for I am on guard through prayer and supplication in the name of Jesus.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
When the Children of Israel made their exodus out of Egypt, there was not one weak or sick person among them. They were all healthy and strong. Now, the Church is soon to embark on the greatest exodus of all – the rapture! The Lord is soon to come, and the saints of God will be caught up to meet him in the air. Glory be to God!
The Bible says He is coming for a glorious Church that is without spot or blemish. When we exit this world, we will be clothed with a glorious body that will never get sick or die.
Sickness in your body means the knowledge of sickness is more than the knowledge of the Word which says you are healed. Healing has been provided and is available for you right now!
You do not need to wait until the rapture to be in a body that is healthy and strong. Simply believe what God says concerning your healing and begin to speak words that line up with His Word. Don’t Google your symptoms; get in the Word! As you declare the Word over your body concerning your healing, you create a pathway for sickness to come out, and healing will be your present reality.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The life of God is imparted to my body. The healing virtue of Christ is flowing through me, and I am revitalized at a cellular and molecular level. Jesus is my healer, and I receive His grace for healing now!

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Money has been known to fail because it is a part of this world’s system, and that system is corrupt, but when you become a new creation in Christ, the Bible says all things are become new, and all things are of God. That includes your money. What makes it new is the value you place on it, and that value is determined by how you use it. You can push your finances into the spiritual realm by consecrating the money for God’s use.
If God can get it through you, He will get it to you. The money is coming! Your money is coming! And God’s people will be rich! But understand that money is not the be-all and end-all. Money is simply a tool to get the things that really matter – things of eternal value. That is why we speak of having money with a mission.
We understand that when we work, we do not work for a living; we work for a giving. It is God’s will for you to prosper financially so that you can choose the life you want rather than having those choices made for you. And most importantly, it is through your money that the Gospel and God’s Kingdom agenda will be spread abroad!

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the Church.
It is possible for a person to be dehydrated and not even know it. Similarly, your phone battery can be drained, and you only realise it once the phone shuts off. In the same way, your spiritual energy can be low without you knowing it. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, you are already dehydrated. So, rather than wait until you reach the point of thirst, the best thing to do is drink water throughout the day.
Likewise, it is better to monitor your battery levels throughout the day and keep it charged up as much as possible. The same is true of your spiritual energy. When you speak or pray in tongues, you are loading spiritual energy. You charge yourself like a battery with the dunamis power of God. When Jesus would minister to the sick, power would go out of Him.
He recognised when His energy level was going down, so He would load Himself up in prayer. Some resort to sports drinks or medication to boost their energy, but we have our own spiritual boosters. Five minutes of speaking in tongues can load enough energy to deal with twenty years of problems! Don’t wait until your spiritual energy is low. Instead, take time throughout your day to load energy in prayer.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV)
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Our verse for today tells us that every sound has meaning. Every word you speak produces results, and God is expecting you, His child, to take this technology of sound He has given you and use it to your full advantage. Your sound waves were designed by God to be used to draw the blessings of God into your life. As you speak, you create highways and roadways for angels to travel.
The more you decree and declare the blessings of God over your life, the more you empower angels to move towards you and deliver the benefits of salvation. That is why you should never produce a sound of poverty. When you make sounds that do not line up with God’s Word, instead of empowering angels, you empower demons who will see to it that poverty is delivered to you.
Words like “I’m broke”, “I can’t afford it,” and “I don’t have enough” should never be part of your language. It's better for people to say you are prideful than to enable demonic spirits that will hear those words. Your words have power! Therefore, use them to produce the fruit of abundance that is rightfully yours.

2 Corinthians 2:14 (AMPC)
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere.
I write books because I am commanded by the Lord to write them. Every book I write carries an impartation of the grace I carry. However, the revelation, spiritual principles, and practical application contained within the pages of each book will never be known unless I can get the person to look inside. For that reason, whenever I write a book, I carefully select a title that tells you the problem the book solves.
The title on the outside communicates the value of what’s inside. That’s a basic marketing principle and why my books sell. You are the title God is wearing. He has entered you so that He can transfer His value to you. All that He is, and all His abilities are resident inside you. So, when someone who does not know the Lord looks at you, they should see the problem you solve.
If they are in darkness, they should see light when they look at you. If they have more "month than money", they ought to see financial prosperity showing on you. If they are sick and in need of healing, your countenance should reflect His health and healing power. You are God’s best marketing tactic. Show the world what you carry inside!

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Faith is technical, and you can grow in it once you understand how it works. There is grace to possess your possessions and to collect your collections, but there is an equation you must follow to use your faith and get what you desire. God has given you a warranty in His Word, a way for you to get whatever you ask for, and this is the principle: if you can see what you want in His Word, and God sees that you see it, you have the assurance that you have what you ask for.
The Bible says that God works all things according to the counsel of His will. That does not mean that God goes looking for a scripture. He is the Word! It simply means God uses His Word to get what He wants. Therefore, He expects you to do the same and here is the beautiful thing about it: once you see what you want in the Word, you’re not praying to get that thing; you’re praying because you already have it! How do you know you have it? You saw it in the Word! All that is left is for you to tell Him what you saw!

Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
I am not a believer. I left believing way back. I know God! You see, a Christian is not a believer. The Bible tells us that there is a certain power given to believers – not to Christians. It is the power to become the sons of God. That means a believer is one who has not yet become a son of God. The scripture tells us that it is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits.
There is an experiential knowledge that you must have of God and He of you. Abraham realised this when he moved in faith to sacrifice his son. It was then that God said now I know that you fear me! The only way you can know God is through His Word. The Bible says that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life (1 John 1:1).
Your knowledge of the Word is demonstrated by what you do: the steps of faith you take based on the Word, so refuse to be a believer. You are bigger than that! You can actually know Him. Cultivate your own experiences with God by exercising faith in His Word, and you will do exploits!

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
For too long, the Church has been influenced by this worldly system. Divorce rates are now higher among Christians than unbelievers. Preachers have abandoned the truth in favour of sensitivity. The world is headed for Hell in a handbasket, and some preachers have helped to weave the basket, but we who have subscribed to the Deeper Life have cancelled the worldly culture.
In these final days leading up to the rapture, the dividing line between the true Church and the world is becoming crystal clear. It’s time for real Christians to stand in our righteousness and refuse to compromise. The world’s prescribed order is sin and lawlessness, where anything goes in the name of “inclusion.” The world’s prescribed order is to accept sickness and disease as a normal part of everyday life.
The world’s prescribed order is minimum wage and living hand to mouth. We must deviate from that prescribed order and incline our ears to the Word of God. Take your position firmly on God’s side, and never surrender! In this year of Heaven on Earth, make the Word of God the standard for your health, finances, relationships, and life.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
It is important to know who you are. The Bible says you are an ambassador for Christ, and an ambassador is a lifetime rank. As an ambassador, you are the resident representative of the government of God, appointed by the Sovereign of the Universe for a special diplomatic assignment. You are a minister of reconciliation sent to represent the peace, prosperity, protection, and power of your homeland, Zion. Essentially, you are sent to showcase Heaven on Earth.
As an ambassador, you are not subject to the economy of this world. You are richly supplied from your home country. Here is another interesting fact about being an ambassador. The house where the ambassador lives is not an embassy; it is a chancery. It is only an embassy when the ambassador is there. That means your body, and even this world, is your embassy.
You can’t be found living anyhow because you represent the One who reigns supreme, the Lord Jesus Christ! The only lifestyle that befits you is a Heaven on Earth lifestyle. As an ambassador, you are allowed to raise your country's flag while in foreign territory. You are an embodiment of all your nation stands for. As long as you are here, you influence the culture of everything around you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Proverbs 25:2 (KJV)
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
God takes pleasure in hiding things. His intention is not to keep them from you but for you to experience the joy of discovering all He has provided for you. He has made it easy because He has hidden everything in His Word. The Bible contains esoteric knowledge: mysteries of God that are kept hidden from unbelievers but are freely given to His children. All that you need is wrapped up in the Word. All you have to do is find the Word you need!
It is not just truth but the truth you know that makes you free in your health, finances, relationships, spirit, and every other area that requires salvation or deliverance. Spoon-fed Christians are limited to the knowledge that is given to them via other people who teach and preach the Word but the mature Christian understands that God’s design is for you to supplement what you are taught by "searching out a matter” for yourself.
That’s what kings do. So, when you need truth on a particular subject, circumstance, or issue that you want changed, search for it in the Word. The Holy Spirit will see to it that you find what you need, and you will never be disappointed. So, cheer up! The Word works!

2 Peter 1:3 (ESV)
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.
Poverty is not the absence of resources or money. It is the absence of imagination. People often ask me, "how do I become rich when I don't have the money to start a business?" My answer is, if you want money to start a business, you are not a business person. What you need is intellectual capital – an idea. Every successful business person started with an idea.
What’s more, you have an even greater advantage than the average person because the favour of God differentiates a Christian from every other would-be entrepreneur. There is another critical resource that is often overlooked when it comes to prosperity, and that is the presence of a Prophet. A Prophet carries an atmosphere of prosperity. In fact, God has entrusted His Prophets with the resource of prosperity.
Some Christians do not have or have not yet identified the Prophet sent to them. Others have recognized their Prophet, but they refuse to believe them, not realizing that believing God’s Prophet is the requirement for their prosperity. Time is short, so use the resources God has given you to prosper now. Believe the words of His Prophet and move on with that business idea today!

Hebrews 6:20 (KJV)
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
“Mel” as in Melchizedek means to reign or rule and “Zedek” signifies to be made right (Priest) or righteousness. Melchizedek, mentioned in the Old Testament is a king and a priest (Genesis 14:18-20), meaning he holds two offices. Strangely, Melchizedek has no ancestry lineage to speak about as he appears out of nowhere.
What I love about my Jesus from the text is that he has already gone in for us, he has become our high priest. Not only that, Jesus is also our king. As Christians, we should grasp the dual role of Jesus as Priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Your position in Christ carries a dual function; as a priest, pleading like an advocate in a courtroom, and a judge because of your kingship in Jesus.
When it comes to prayer, you start by pleading, standing on the Word of God, and as you end your prayer, begin to decree and declare things because the king inside you is authoritative and rules over circumstances, not under the circumstances. Throughout this year, decree and declare Heaven on Earth as your life’s norm. The name of Jesus is your weapon of war, and the Word of God is your ultimate artillery to dislodge every attack of the enemy.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Psalm 91:1 (KJV)
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Most countries in the developed world have emergency numbers. These are numbers someone in those countries will call when in danger. The moment these numbers are called, a dispatcher will alert the rescue team of danger, and a rescue team will be sent immediately. What’s noticeable is even when these emergency numbers are accidentally dialed, rescuers will still be dispatched to that address to ensure that there is no apparent danger to the caller.
In like manner, God has given us emergency numbers to dial immediately when faced with danger. Our scripture for today is one of those numbers. Moreover, Jeremiah 33:3 says: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (NKJV).
In that situation where an eviction letter is served to you like a bombshell, a situation where a crippling and delipidating disease has suddenly been diagnosed, a situation where redundancy is looming at your workplace, then that’s the perfect time to scream in tongues and dial these emergency numbers.

But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Moses was lifting his hands of his own accord, and the battle fought between the Israelites and their enemies was now in their favour. The moment Moses’ hands went down, the enemies got the upper hand.
This is significant to understand that something profound was happening; there was a definite correlation between Moses’ risen hands, a physical act, and the victory of the Israelites on the battlefront. This simple act of raising hands and bringing victory shows that our participation is required to see a manifestation of a miracle at another level.
I always tell people not to take prayer likely or for granted because when you pray, angels on assignment for you are sustained.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
It’s been seven months since we as a Church by God’s grace entered the Deeper Life Phase. Seven normally speaks of perfection when it comes to the things of the spirit. Deeper life launched encompasses deeper life in prayer, deeper life in our commitment concerning the things of God.
Deeper life requires going deeper into the Word of God. Deeper life is designed to prepare us to be men and women, that God wants to be perfect as the father is perfect. Deeper life takes the Bible as the only manual to equip you better to be who God wants you to be. One of the benefits of going deeper with God is we will bear more fruits.
When you understand that deeper life is rewarding, your outlook on the spiritual will take a different trajectory. We are fishers of men not catchers of men, hence, we need to launch out deeper and deeper into the things of God if we want to win more souls for Jesus. Going into deeper life is avoiding surface Christianity and being firmly rooted in the Word of God and the things of the spirit.

Acts 12:7 (KJV)
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
I tell people that the Devil is afraid of your light, not your anointing! This will take a lot of Christians time to comprehend. The power in you, is because of the amount of light in you, and having this light elevates your ranking in the realm of the spirit. The angel that came to liberate Peter came with light and this light had the ability to break the chain that was holding Peter down in prison.
You should understand that to produce light will require having light in you. If there is no light in you, there will be nothing to emit. Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”. From this scripture, we now know that light is obtain from the Word of God, hallelujah!
The more of the Word of God in you, the more light you exude. Since light ultimately disperses darkness and is able to break the chains of poverty, sickness, bareness, and imprisonment, the solution then is to absorb more light by having more of the Word of God in you.

Paul was emphatic in his letter to the Thessalonians about what he expected them to do.
You may say I am not a Preacher, not an Apostle, not a Prophet, but you are a Christian! You are the first to be seen by a non-Christian. You may not be in a position as such, but your words of consolation and encouragement will make a difference in someone’s life. Deeper life entails showing love to one another, loving the unlovable, and encouraging each other to attain greater heights.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is a life of success. I shall not entertain discouragement, nor will I be a discourager, no, it shall not be part of me. I am set to lead and build others. Wherever I go, my life shall attract good news always. Amen!

1 Samuel 10:11 (KJV)
And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Saul was known to his friends, family and relations as an ordinary guy. Before his prophetic utterance, Saul never imagined being someone that would prophesy. Many will ask what happened to Saul; where did he learn to prophesy? Who taught him, or if the gift of prophecy was imparted upon him? Notice that Saul was among the Prophets; he was in their midst and connected to the prophetic.
Sometimes you become intertwined with the prophetic; you marinate yourself in the revelation associated with the prophetic, like that of Spirit Embassy, the GoodNews Church, and transformation begins from the inside. The Word of God has the power to change your life completely and give you a Heaven on Earth experience; take a daily dose by constantly reading and meditating upon the Word.
You need this to be part of your being. When you are connected with God through His Word, you are in for a miracle. Network with fellow Christians to study the Word, and as it takes root in your heart and mind, you will begin to see the world differently.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I walk in divine connections. I am connected to the Word of God; my Spirit is fed and my life shines forth with God’s glory. As I remain plugged into the living Word of God, my life becomes Heaven on Earth in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Judges 6:12 (KJV)
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
Gideon replied in disbelief when the angel of the Lord called him a “mighty man of valour” in the following verse of the same text. In fact, most people asked: If God calls me good, then why do my finances keep drying up? If God is actually there, why am I being fired from my work? If God is so powerful, why is my situation of the fruit of the womb still hanging in the balance?
The Angel of the Lord met Gideon on a threshing floor and told him his true identity when the whole nation of Israel was going through troubled times without a military general. In His infinite wisdom, God sees you differently. His reality of who you are sometimes contrasts with natural life’s reality.
Think of all the galaxies, the planetary systems known to men, and the unknown. The vastness of the universe and all it contains alone will prompt you to understand that He’s beyond human comprehension. Whatever you are going through right now, take a deep breath because God is ready to show up and show off in your situation, He is ready with a Heaven on Earth experience for you and you will sing a new song in the mighty name of Jesus!

Genesis 32:24 (KJV)
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jacob’s encounter with destiny came at a time when he was alone. We know Jacob had children, and servants, friends, and an entire household, but he chose to be alone at this time to reflect deeply on his next level. When God wants to use you, there will be moments when you will find yourself alone!
Every divine encounter will require seclusion from the rest. The true definition of holy is “set apart" or "separated”. What God is about to do in your life will demand being alone and inaccessible to others. Places you used to go, you will go no more! When you are left alone to be used by God, your vocabulary and dress code will be altered.
When for no apparent reason, you were fired, when people you considered friends abandoned you despite your unreserved love for them, you realize that you are now a perfect candidate to be used by the Master. The Bible says in James 1:2, “Count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations;”. Some situations that suddenly erect in your life should call for celebration; don’t worry, God is still on the throne; your next higher level is imminent, and you will have the last laugh in Jesus’ name.

Daniel 7:9 (KJV)
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Every problem that befalls you is trying to undermine the power of God. There is no situation that is greater than God. God existed before time began, and there is nothing new, either negative or positive, before the sight of the Lord. No matter how complicated or how high your situation is, God remains in the supreme office.
Daniel called him the “Ancient of days..”, when God is referred to as the ancient of days, it means even the days respect Him as the old one. He existed before time began; the days call Him old. When you worship Him, remember you do not worship an idol that was sculptured yesterday but the One who existed before time began. He knows you in and out, and your situation is nothing new to Him. That sickness in your body, that situation at your work place or school, is nothing compared to the power of God!
You worship a great God, the One who can’t be voted in or out. He, who sits in the circumference of Himself. Go out and see a turnaround in every facet of your life because the Lord’s hand is upon your life!

My God is the ancient of days, He existed before my situation. I worship the great I am. Everything about me is working together for my good in the name of Jesus!

2 Peter 1:12 (KJV)
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Information is dynamic from time to time and what was relevant in the past season might not be that relevant in this modern day and age. The cars or brands that were mouth-watering in the past might not be that attractive today. The same principle governs the spiritual world. Revelation is not stagnant but highly dynamic and diversified.
When you come to God or the things of God, just empty yourself and allow God to fill you with relevant information for this time. Our scripture above ends by commending us to be established in the present truth. Note, for there to be a present truth; it means there is past and future truth. Some revelations are barely old truths that the Church is still riding on. To know God as the one who performs miracles is an old revelation.
As of now, we know that in Him we move, live and have our being, which means we are the ones performing the miracles. We are the miracle workers! As we go for the Word and commune with God through prayer and supplication, we get fresh manna from Heaven! God will begin to release present truth, relevant information for your destiny and you shall be more up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper!

Acts 17:28 (KJV)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.
If you take the Bible as one of those history books, you will surely find wars and everything that confirms that idea. For those who take it as a book of love you will surely find something to do with love in there but there is something beyond that in the Word of God. The Bible says, "in Him we live, move and have our being." Note that the Bible says “in Him” not "with Him", which means you are in Christ as your location.
It’s a higher dimension of revelation to know Christ as your location. When you are inside a bulldozer, there is nothing that can stop you; you are inside a force that cannot be resisted or restricted! When you are in Christ, you are inside the strongest force or power! There is no mountain that cannot be levelled or any valley that cannot be filled.
Go and conquer for there is nothing impossible when you are in Jesus Christ. That business or project that seems impossible, it’s easy when you are in Jesus Christ! Today is a brand-new day for you. Begin to know Christ as your own location and go through every wall that resisted you! The power is available, and the grace is more than sufficient!

Luke 18:1 (KJV)
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
The Bible says God never sleeps nor slumbers. What an ability or technology that causes God to never sleep or slumber. This means God has no yesterday or tomorrow because He never slept. He is more awake and more active, and He lives in one eternal now! He is more up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper, and He knows every detail of your life to the extent of knowing the number of hair strands on your head!
Our scripture above shows us how we can tap into the technology of God, the ability not to faint, slumber, or get weary. He said to pray and not faint, which means the moment you stop praying, you get into a season of fainting. Your functionality is compromised by a lack of prayer. Get back your grip today and start praying like never before. It might be a few minutes of communing with God, but no prayer is in vain.
Let your spirit be attuned to the spiritual by dedicating yourself to prayer. Your spirit is transformed, and your prayers shall prevail over all circumstances. No more life of fainting, slumbering, or being downtrodden. The position of your prayer is the position of your victory in the name of Jesus!

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The time we spend on average as an adult gazing in a mirror can be hours upon hours within a year. People look in the mirror to check if their physical appearance is on point. Some go beyond the extent of being late for work, missing flights or classes perfecting their outer look in the mirror. Looking in a physical mirror doesn’t do much other than showing you blemishes around your face.
The bible however talks of the Word of God as a mirror; you become more like God the more you read the Word of God! The mirror, your bible says you are blessed with all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3 KJV), and Christ became poor so that you become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). The more you read this, the more you become what the Word of the Lord says.
In this year of Heaven on Earth, mediate upon the Word of God, day and night, and you shall have good success.

Leviticus 25:49 (KJV)
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
When we say Jesus Christ redeemed us from all manner of curses, it seems like there is a contention of tension in what the Bible says according to the above scripture. According to the above scripture, it seems impossible for someone who is not your relative to redeem you. This is something we call tension in the text in Theology because how can Jesus redeem us if He is not our relative?
Follow me here, in the branch of science there is something called autosomal DNA; it is a term used in genetic genealogy to describe DNA obtained from autosomal chromosomes. Stay with me; the question in your mind now is how can Jesus Christ have redeemed us when he was not our relative? The book of Ephesians 4:6 reveals that He is our “father” and in the book of Galatians reveals that He is our “mother”.
Scriptures reveal that He is seated far above the Heavens which means He is on the top, not forgetting that He is also our foundation which means He is at the bottom! Proverbs reveals He is our “sister”, and Hebrews reveals that He is our “brother”. In the book of Leviticus, He is also our “uncle” and our “cousin”. Jesus Christ therefore fulfils everything in everything! Square up your shoulders and walk out today knowing that you are not a stranger in Mount Zion, Jesus is your relative!

As you read this prophetic message, expect the unexpected to happen to you! Your money, promotion and increase shall come from the least expected places. From this day onwards, when you hear them talking of economic depression, just tell them that you are not participating!

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
A born-again life is not just a mere transition from one life to another. It is a total revamp of the old system. The Bible says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The Word “new “ is the word “Kainos” in Greek which means a specie that never existed before. You are not just changed but totally replaced.
Your life is not a modified old model but a whole new thing. The Devil might try to remind you of your previous failures and all negative traits, but let him know that it’s not even you who failed in the past. The traits of failure were attached to the old you, not the new creation. Decree and declare that failure is not your portion and you shall have good success in everything that you touch.
Confront new targets and goals because the one that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. The genetic makeup running through you now is not something from your physical family but from above. As you read this prophetic message, let it be registered in your spirit, soul and body that you are born of God.

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
When you look at a polished diamond or gold ring you see the beauty and the glamour on that piece, but behind all that beauty there is a crushing and burning process that takes place. Apostle Paul mentioned all manner or forms of persecution come to us, as children of God but the best thing He said was that we are not destroyed or finished! When the world presses us, they should know exactly what we are made of.
We are born of the spirit and feed on the Word of God! The Word is our genetic makeup! We breathe the Word of God because we live by the Word! When pressed, what comes out of us is “Word juice” because we are made up of the Word of God. Nothing shall shake you or your family because you are deeply rooted in His Word. You are standing on Christ the solid rock, and no flood or persecution shall shake you in the name of Jesus!
I refuse to go to Heaven and stand before the generals, as one general without a scar. We might be persecuted, accused, or blackmailed, but everything will bring glory to God.

Exodus 13:21 (KJV)
By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
The Bible said when the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord would be a pillar of fire at night and a cloud in the noonday. God gave them a tailor-made climate and environment to protect them from harsh desert conditions. The desert is very harsh, it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day.
With such knowledge, God chose to give them a tailor-made climate and environment. What the Israelites were experiencing was different from what other races were experiencing. Our God is a God of wonders and He is able to revamp your life in a way that nobody can comprehend. As you are feeding on this Word, the Lord is creating a unique climate of Heaven on Earth for you and your family.
What a wonder brothers and sisters! The bible calls us ambassadors of Christ, which means our supply is not from the natural realm but from above.

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.
It's fascinating how many Christians still feel attached to and trapped in the past. Some Christians are still wrestling with what happened to them three, four, or five decades ago. When you become a Christian, your life is now hidden in Christ. The old you was taken out, and a new spirit was supplanted in you. The Bible says old things pass away, and behold all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
That same thing that you have wrestled with for decades is the very thing that continues to drag you down. You are a new creature, born again into the kingdom of God's dear Son, Jesus. Hallelujah! God is prepared to speak to you directly, specifically, clearly, purposefully, and passionately about your destiny, finances, and family. He is prepared to give you a Heaven on Earth experience. But your past continues to hunt you down.
At this juncture of your life, do not let the past cloud your thought process. The main text in today's scripture is very clear: God is doing something new in your life. Get hold of it, and you shall shine.

Hebrews 4:15 (KJV)
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Some Christians hold the conviction that Jesus is far removed from them. Do not think that God is far from what you are overwhelmed with. Remember, you are the headquarters of the godhead. When Paul says, "you are the body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:27 KJV), it means that when you move, God is moving, when you sit, God is sitting, when you declare, God is declaring. You represent God here on earth; this representation is not theoretical; it's a reality.
The problem is that most Christians have not come to the realization that they are God carriers. If you are born again, the Spirit of God takes residence in you. The Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV). The reality of your life today is that Jesus dwells in you and is touched with what troubles you. That sickness worrying you doesn't give comfort to Jesus. He wants to heal you! Jesus is not gratified when you are poverty-stricken, as some would suggest. No, that's not Jesus' doing. He's ready to intervene when you allow him to. Hallelujah!

Matthew 20:28 (NIV)
Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
Christ exemplified the true nature and attitude of what it means to serve. Imagine the King of glory from ages past, the one who holds time in his hands, at one point decided to step into time for the sake of reconciling man back to himself. Jesus did not consider His status; He was determined to win back mankind and took it upon Himself to do it as a servant.
When you live a life of servitude, you show Christ's nature. In Christ, we are called to serve. That is why He said if you want to be the greatest in the kingdom, you must learn how to serve. The very act of emptying oneself should be your mindset today. A true leader always leads by example, which is the form of servitude we are called to illustrate.
The scripture for today is very powerful in that Jesus Christ, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Creator Himself steps into creation to serve the very thing He has made. That is so humbling. When we grasp the impact of Jesus taking on the form of a servant, then we are ready for ministry.

That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
I vividly recall when our ministry was still in its infancy. Even though there were just a few members, I was preaching and teaching with the same passion as I do today! Back then, I remember delivering a message which my spiritual father, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, ministered entitled Partakers of His Divine Nature.
The following Sunday, one of the congregants rolled a wheelchair of an elderly woman in our midst. She was eighty-two years old and wanted to be healed. It was a challenge without precedence. I had a vision before that encounter where I saw arrows flowing out of my extremities as I prayed for people. As I began to pray for this old lady, I was expecting arrows to flow out of me, but nothing happened.
God, in His mercy, revealed to me at that exact moment that it wasn't the arrows that were flowing from me in my vision, but rather He alone, Jesus! I put this to practice, and the eighty-two-year-old lady stood up from her wheelchair and began moving around. When you value and take the word of God seriously and apply it in your life, it will certainly work for you.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
No student of the Bible will discuss wisdom and exclude Solomon. During his reign, Solomon was the wisest, wealthiest, and smartest. In fact, Solomon's fame was sought after by other royalties from afar. Solomon had a special appeal with women to the extent that he had 300 women as concubines and 700 wives at home (1 Kings 11:3 KJV). The splendour and elegance of Solomon's palace and servants are still talked about today.
To put it bluntly, Solomon had it all, and I mean all that life could offer a human being. Notice that despite having all that pertains to life and the majesty of his kingdom, Solomon was eager to draw our attention to what he concluded was the most important in life.
Solomon's experiences in life should make one realize that he was an authority in this area. If Solomon were alive today, he would be Number 1 on Forbes magazine's richest man, year in and year out, with no one coming close. Solomon's conclusion on life's essential elements, as captured in today's scripture, should become our standard. Take it to heart and see your life change for the better. Hallelujah!

2 Timothy 2:4 (KJV)
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
A Christian needs to cultivate the attitude of a soldier. Being a soldier implies that at any point in time, you are prepared to be called to duty when the need arises. A soldier is always on guard and stands ready. There is no point where the soldier is relaxing, especially when assigned to the battlefront.
The Bible tells us that we are soldiers in the Lord's army, on duty for our Lord with no time to entangle ourselves with other affairs. We must personify the stance of a warrior, a fighter, a soldier armed with the Word of God to do battle. When a Christian's mentality is absorbed with this sense of duty and call to service, there will be little concern over trivial matters.
When the Christian realizes that he stands on the battlefield in the midst of enemies aiming at him to take his life, he will recalibrate and focus on the essentials: praying always without ceasing, studying and knowing the word of God, not forsaking the gathering of the brethren, and taking service in the house of the Lord very seriously. You are a soldier, a warrior on the battlefield with no time to spare. So keep your focus on the gallantry it requires.

Jesus' disciples were astonished to be told by the Master that He eats food they were unaware of. The scripture is clear on this: Jesus considers the Word of God and doing the work of God a buffet. Jesus is telling us that you can feed on God's word and hunger will go.
God's word gives strength, vitality to the soul, and revitalizes the spirit. Ezekiel puts it this way: "And he said to me, Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it. Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey." Ezekiel 3:3 (ESV).
When you start feeding on the Word of God, your spirit is more vigilant and active. Suddenly, your mind is renewed, and your expectations are realized. The Word of God is not empty literature and fables, as some may suggest. No! All the ingredients you need to grow spiritually are in God's Word. The opposite is also true. When you fail to feed on the Word of God, your spirit is starved and malnourished. You need fresh manna which is the Word of God. Feed on it daily!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I feed on the bread of Heaven. My diet is solidly on the word of God; therefore, I cannot be malnourished. My mind is alert, my soul rejoices, and my spirit is well-fed. Thank you, Jesus! Amen.

Genesis 13:15 (AMPC)
For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever.
Your view of things can limit you. When God was ready to bless Abraham, the father of faith, He told Abraham that if he could count the stars, he could number his descendants! Counting the stars is as impossible as counting the grains of sand on the seashores. God was stretching the vision of Abraham to see beyond the now. His eyes were fixed on himself, his age, and the physical reality of his and Sarah's bodies. These realities limited him, yet God, who promised that Abraham would be a father of nations, was using a different lens.
God was introducing Abraham to another realm of reality that confuses human understanding. From eternity past to eternity future, God never lies, so whatever He says is reality. God says let the poor say I am rich because He sees you as prosperous despite your current financial position. When you can also see it, you can possess it!
For too long, you have relegated yourself as a weak, struggling, broke, and busted individual. God is telling you to get up from your slumber, look afar, and see beyond your present temporal circumstances. You are a born winner, and that's who you are in Christ!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I see my blessing coming in the name of Jesus. I see beyond the now. I am loaded! I am a kingdom financier and a magnet to attract money with a mission!

Psalm 31:19 (KJV)
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
When my beautiful wife, Prophetess BeBe Angel, wrote the book Grace Driven Life, it was a milestone that captured the core doctrinal interpretation of the grace message we preach. When we speak of the grace message, it does not mean giving people a license to sin. Romans 2:4 NKJV says, "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" Grace is an overflow of goodies to the extent that despite your current inadequacies, God continues to heap blessings upon your life.
Grace is a free gift from God with no strings attached. It is delivered to you even before you face that predicament. Grace is what happens to you when you seem far removed from the sphere of God's mercy, yet you find yourself as the principal beneficiary of His goodness that overcomes you. It's not your own human effort that makes you think that you are deserving. No, it's God's way of giving out of His abundance of love, a gift that will defy logic to demonstrate to you. He cares!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have received the abundance of God's grace. I rejoice always and am ready to spread the Word. I know God by His Spirit has poured His love towards me in excess. I am a grace collector!

Romans 11:33 (NLT)
Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
There is a place in God where you might think you have arrived, but let me tell you, this is not the case. The angels call God holy (Revelation 4:8 KJV) because whenever He turns or moves, they see a different facet of God that they have not seen before. Imagine that from eternity past, from age to age, God shows himself differently, to the angels' amazement.
There are dimensions in God that are unfathomable and limitless. Every prophet of old that walked the earth saw a dimension of God never seen before. For example, Abraham was called a friend of God. God liked Abraham so much that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit appeared to him and had supper with him physically!
When we pioneered miracle money years ago, there was fierce opposition. People felt as though God's benevolence could not shift finances in such a fashion like the provision of miracle money. However, with time, people began to realize this is a dimension of God that cannot be denied. The more you walk with God, the more you realize there are dimensions you haven't tapped into. The more you go deeper into the things of God, the more you realize that His riches are unsearchable and how exciting that is!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am going deeper into the things of God, and my life is being transformed from glory to glory in the mighty name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

Jeremiah 23:29 (KJV)
Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Some Christians get it twisted when it comes to emphatically declaring and decreeing things in their life. For example, they complain instead of authoritatively speaking against a situation that has become a torment in their family. Some Christians have adopted self-counselling either in silence, internalizing their problems, or simply singing Amazing Grace whilst their boat is sinking! I pray that you are not that kind of Christian.
A Christian means Christ-like or imitator of Christ. Jesus was never quiet when faced with opposition from the Pharisees or Sadducees; whether in natural confrontation wherein He rebukes the wind, whether facing demons or Satan himself, Jesus spoke with authority that made an impact.
We are ambassadors of Christ in this world. We can boldly say that "for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV). You are an ambassador clothed in military camouflage. Speak against the enemy with words that will change the course of your destiny. Refuse to be quiet. Speak with the authority Christ has given you in His word. Enforce your authority now in the name of Jesus! Amen.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
There is power in my words. I shall not keep silent anymore. I will declare and confess what God says about me. I speak life and resurrection to anything that seems dead in my life. I shall not die but live to declare the Word of the Lord. Hallelujah!

Luke 9:42 (NLT)
As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father.
In the presence of God, God's power is undeniable and cannot be concealed. I have not yet seen where we have service, even at the start of the ministry, that I have not witnessed the power of God in motion. Every time we meet as a congregation, I see myself walking in the demonstration of the power of God. There are moments when I go to the service thinking to myself and even announcing to the congregants that I will not prophesy, but I find myself prophesying again and again.
In this last dispensation, the world needs to see and experience God in his fullness, as Paul says, not only in words but in the demonstration of power (1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV). People tend to be critical and debate about the potency of God's power when they see no demonstration of power.
In this year of Heaven on Earth, let the evidence in the miraculous, signs, and wonders overpower the wisdom of men. This perverse generation will begin to recognize that God, the highest authority, rules in the affairs of men when they see the demonstration of power and manifestation of Heaven on Earth in your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As a child of God, I live a life of Heaven on Earth. I am endowed with the power to heal the sick. I am not powerless but powerful. I shall live a life of exploits, and my life will always portray the power of God that is resident in my being.

Acts 4:20 (KJV)
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Someone may ask, what is a burden, and how can I offload it? These are legitimate questions. Let me start by saying Prophet Jeremiah in his day felt a kind of unusual burden, which was declaring the Word of God. Prophet Jeremiah lamented that he couldn't speak in the name of the Lord anymore. Still, at the end, he said, "...I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay" (Jeremiah 20:9 KJV)! Wow!
A burden is a huge weight; it is a problem that you feel the responsibility to provide a solution for. It becomes a burden when an urgent need must be met in the church or on the mission field. A burden pulls you out of your comfort zone and gives you sleepless nights whilst it is unresolved.
When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable after seeing a need in ministry, it becomes a personal weight to you, and it is your burden that you are called to handle. Once you have acted promptly, there will be a degree of calmness and peace.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am ready to act on my calling. I do not entertain complacency in the house of the Lord. I know I am moving from glory to glory. I know there is more in Christ, so I am prepared to go higher and deeper in the name of Jesus!

PROPHETIC SPEED
1 Kings 18:46 (NLT)
Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.
Speed is required when you need to make progress, and urgency demands swiftness, not slowness. In an emergency, the ambulance doesn't run at normal speed. When there is a life-and-death situation, all traffic rules and regulations are discarded for an ambulance.
To restore normality to the person on life support, unconscious, or in a coma, they are rushed to the hospital at breakneck speed. Slowness is the direct opposite of speed; in this kingdom, slowness is a deficiency of progress. One of the tactics employed by the enemy is to keep the Christian in one spot. When God is involved in your business, marriage, finances, career, and family, you will make strides both in the spiritual and in the natural.
Some of us have been too kind to the enemy and treated every punch thrown at them as normal, but there is nothing normal about stagnation. If stagnation is your issue, you need to push your case very fast with the Word of God in prayer. It pays to be on the offense when it comes to confrontation with the enemy. This is war, and the time for divine rescue is now.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I cannot slow down my pace. I am running my race with vigor and alertness. I am the head and not the tail, and I shall run and recover everything the enemy has stolen from me in the name of Jesus! Amen.

COUNTED AMONG THE RICH
Isaiah 60:3 (NIV)
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
At age 65, Colonel Harland Sanders, the Founder of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), began franchising his chicken business using his $105 monthly Social Security check. Today, KFC operates more than 5,200 restaurants in the United States and more than 15,000 units around the world. In 2020 alone, the revenue went off the roof at almost $28 billion! What an incredible journey for a man whose life history is replete with struggling to make ends meet.
Age should never be your limitation. Until you start to harness the potential within you, you will continue to struggle and detest those who have discovered themselves. Adam was lonely, yet Eve was locked up in him. The problem with most people is that they have counted themselves out of the success ladder because of age, background, social stratification, educational knowledge, etc.
If KFC's Founder, at the age of 65, could turn things around to form a multi-million business in his lifetime and leave generational wealth for his descendants worth USD billions, how much more you? You are filled with the Holy Ghost and with power, and when you speak, creation listens! This year of Heaven on Earth is the year for your story and status to change permanently.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am rich, I am wealthy, and my money is coming! I live a life of Heaven on Earth. I shall not lack any good thing. My life is full of joy, and I shall forever praise the Lord, my maker. Wherever I go, I shall become a blessing. This is my portion in the mighty name of Jesus. Hallelujah!

JUST ONE VOICE
Genesis 3:11 (ESV)
He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
When God came down in the cool of the evening and communed with Adam and Eve, He was their sole Father and Friend. God's fatherly bond with Adam was so unique that God created animals and told Adam to name them. In that divine atmosphere, the voice of God as a Father gives purpose and meaning to Adam's very existence.
Adam made a point to listen to one voice, so he enjoyed the ultimate peace of mind of being nurtured by the Father. The conversation between the Devil and Eve, who later convincingly brought Adam into the picture, made a mess of their divine destiny and purpose and tugged humanity into it by default.
God's anger towards Adam and Eve was wrapped up in a question: "WHO TOLD YOU?" (Genesis 3:11). The same question echoes to this day. Who told you that you could not bear a child? Who told you that you would endure poverty for the rest of your life? Notice, it's very important who is feeding you with information. God's voice over your life is coded with prosperity to make you a transgenerational blessing. This year, stop listening to several voices that will derail you from your God-giving destiny and listen to one voice.

YOUR SEASON OF RISING
Psalm 92:13 (KJV)
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Years have come and gone, and you are still here. The fact that God kept you alive during the pandemic's peak (or as some say, "scamdemic") proves that you are special to God. Even though there may be naysayers around you who make a career out of making a mockery of your current mess, there is a divine calling upon your life that cannot be denied. You know it, and your family and others around you know it too.
Your situation erupted simply because God was showing off your dedication and commitment to His work and the Word. Now tell those thinking that you will not rise again, this is the Deeper Life Phase, and I will not go down. Pray for them to live long enough to see you rising like the horn of a unicorn (Psalm 92:10 KJV).
In the Deeper Life Phase, you are rising up when men call for a pulling down. Like Job, your life is coded in layers and chapters. And very soon, before the end of this very year, the people who continue to put you down will be the ones to congratulate and celebrate your final chapter. You will be crowned with a double for your trouble! Hallelujah!

TRULY LOVING
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
One of the attributes of God is LOVE, which by definition encompasses affection, friendship, fondness, adoration, passion, amity, feeling, tenderness, and devotion. God, in His mercy and grace, identifies with every word mentioned here, plus more. I wonder if you can really capture the essence of what God's love truly is to you. The power of love has been demonstrated in God's ability to freely give Jesus to us to redeem us back to Himself.
The Christian experience for some in this day and age is casually speaking of love. And in reality, there is little or no apparent show of love in character and deeds. The most contentious setting sometimes is found in the church. Congregations and church members sometimes are factional and tend to relate to each other on certain affinities.
There can be ethnic, social, racial, or economic closeness within the church; others become outsiders through members of the same congregation. Yet when we are cut, we all bleed red blood despite the colour of our skin. In a similar fashion, God's love is poured out to mankind regardless of where we live, our pigmentation, social status, or racial divide; think about it! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the embodiment of God's love. God's love is seen through me as I relate to and care for others. I cannot afford to live a life void of love. The Word of God is at work in me; therefore, I will always show the true nature of God through Love!

Job 22:24 (KJV)
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
In recent years, your sowing has made a memorial before your Creator and your records are archived in Heaven. You have given, given, and given again. You have planted and waited. You have partnered with God and sowed seeds in tears, but this is your year of harvest. I am seeing an abundant harvest that will change your life forever to testify that the Lord is gracious and merciful. You will wax great!
The time for your massive harvest is now, and you will pile up gold like dust! You have entered your wealthy place which will be continuous and unstoppable. You have been raised now as a kingdom financier who will sponsor God's work at another level.
Do not renounce prosperity that you shall wear as a garment, for God says, "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant" (Psalm 35:27 KJV). God is the engineer and designer of the wealthy place you have entered. Your sowing has not only been in recent years, but even as we crossed over into 2023, you did it again.

YOUR BENEFITS
Galatians 4:7 (NIV)
So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
When I acquired citizenship in the United Kingdom, certain benefits became mine, but initially, I was unaware of them. For example, when moving house, I was entitled to a certain amount of money to assist with the furnishings of my new home. As a child of God, you have rights and privileges which you are entitled to simply by being born into the Kingdom of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
There is a difference between knowing your rights and benefits and actually claiming them. Some Christians know or pretend to know they have benefits, but the sad reality is they never claim them and continue to walk in poverty. The benefits and privileges of being a child of God are enormous! In this year, given to us by God as the Year of Heaven On Earth, it's time to claim what belongs to you in the name of Jesus.
The Bible declares, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:12 KJV). Wake up to the reality of whose you are and who you are in Christ and your victory will be glaring, in the name of Jesus!

Acts 28:23 (KJV)
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
There is a distinction between Moses and the prophets. This distinction is not placed in God's Word by error, no, not by any long shot or figment of imagination. God places Moses in a category by himself, far removed from the other Prophets.
When I prophesy about nations, presidents, prime ministers, royals, and even sports, and they come to pass, it is because God chooses to reveal to me the secret things which belong to Him alone. Another thing to note is God knows that I will speak what He commands me to speak, even in the face of threats and inconveniences.
God is not a respecter of persons, and He could choose to use you at any time. Some have been willing and obedient, and God uses them mightily to accomplish His purposes on earth. God's word tells us such people need to be feared because they speak the counsel of God, and it comes to pass. Amen.

BE FEARLESS
2 Timothy 3:2 (NLT)
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
This generation has gone too far to the point where it has degenerated, where moral corruption is applauded and paraded in the public square. There is too much noise out there cheering the wrong things. This implies that to stand for God, and you need to be louder than the wrong noises.
The outcry for the things of God and godly righteousness must be loudest. The noises out there have even crept into the church unawares and caused preachers and pastors to be muted. Most of what we hear today in churches are nothing more than vain philosophies and enticing words of human knowledge that lack the demonstration of power!
Ours is to demonstrate the power of God to the point that the agnostic and atheist will change their view on God. In this year of Heaven on Earth, your voice for God will be the loudest. You cannot be muted. In this Deeper Life Phase, you will not be vulnerable to the tentacles of the evil one. You are secure in Christ.

METROPOLIS OF ZION
Psalms 76:2 (KJV)
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
When we say we speak Spirit, it's because of the city that we belong to, which is Zion. The Bible says that Abraham was looking for a city whose foundation, builder, and maker are God. Abraham believed in God to the point of knowing that there is a city beyond the ordinary architecture of mortals, the city that represents God's presence. Abraham craved to be an inhabitant of that city to the extent that he lived in tents, moving from place to place in search of that metropolis.
I have met people in Zion, and when I meet them in a church gathering, I can instantly recall our meeting in that heavenly metropolis called Zion. The prior meeting in Zion gives me insight to declare things in someone's life, and the person confirms, usually with disbelief!
In Zion, ideas that change destinies are downloaded. There is no supply shortage in this city, and scarcity is unheard of. Once you have that consciousness that though you are in this world but not of this world, you will begin to decree and declare things into existence and experience Heaven on Earth in this year and beyond. In Zion, there is no sickness, disease, or poverty. Let this be your reality today, and you will experience power from on high in the name of Jesus!

ENERGY LEVELS
Acts 17:28 (KJV)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Years ago, we were hiring a place for our Sunday service. It was in an area called the Gay Village, centered in Manchester in the United Kingdom. The 'Gay Village' is an actual LGBT+ community. In the place we were hiring at that time, the manager was openly gay. In one of our services, he called time off while we were in the middle of the service. I ignored him, but he signalled me to meet him at the door.
His presumptuousness in interrupting the things of God provoked my spirit, so l stepped down from the pulpit, suspended my preaching duties, and went outside the entrance, where I drew an invisible line. I decreed and declared that if the manager attempted to cross that line, he would encounter the power of God at another energy level.
The manager then called two huge bodyguards to expel us from the building. When the manager tried to cross that invisible line, he instantly dropped to the ground under the power of God. The two bodyguards also fled the scene. Raise your energy level and see the devil flee before you in the name of Jesus!

Genesis 3:24 (NASB)
So He drove the man out; and at the east side of the Garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
Before the throne of God, you find coals of fire that seraphim walk on. The Bible says our enemy, the devil, is a cherub but was able to walk on the coals of fire like the seraph. The devil's DNA and genetic makeup are fire. Every element used against the enemy will repel and demolish except one thing, which is fire. When John the Baptist introduced Jesus emphatically that he would baptize you with water and fire.
Whatever the enemy throws at you, the response is fire. It's time to fight fire with fire. The fire of the Holy Ghost is the ultimate weapon against the fiery missiles of the enemy. That fire of the Holy Ghost is part of your DNA. You have it, and it's time to manifest your true identity. He that is in you is more powerful than he that is in the world. Being enfired is simply being on fire for Christ. You are a fireball, ready to confront the enemy. You have an advantage, so be bold and be strong. Your victory is guaranteed in the name of Jesus!

Acts 20:24 (KJV)
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Apostle Paul was the forerunner who delivered to us the revelation of the Gospel of grace, the message we preach today. The reality that we are given in this last dispensation to run with this GoodNews is evidence that we are the fastest. In a relay race, the last runner is the fastest to take the team to the finishing line.
We continue to run with this message, compelled to finish this race bequeathed to us by God's generals. We are not distracted because we understand that a runner must be focused on the finish line and the prize set before him. In the grandstand, we have God's generals who went before us before our dispensation, such as Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Kathryn Kuhlman.
All these generals ran the race so powerfully, yet they handed the baton to us to get over the finish line. Running this race is indeed a benefit beyond what was available to others. You are part of an elite group empowered by God to finish this race. So don't give up. For you will surely end in victory and exuberant joy! Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 8:9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
To those who think Jesus was poor because of this verse, let me explain a little further.
First, understand that Jesus never became poor spiritually. The scripture is talking about physical wealth in comparison to what He has in Heaven. So, the scripture above talks about physical, material, and financial blessings. Jesus gave up the comforts of Heaven and wealth as we know it for your sake, so that from what He gave up, you might inherit abundance. His becoming “poor” in comparison to what He has in Heaven means my money is set. It’s coming now more than ever as I get a hold of this revelation!
If, as a Christian, you have been praying, “O God, prosper me,” then you’ve been praying amiss, because our prosperity is a settled fact as far as God is concerned. In Christ Jesus, we’re heirs of prosperity. It’s like praying that God should make you a human being; you are one already. So praying for God to make you prosperous does not make sense because you are already prosperous! It’s a done deal! In Christ, you’re born His heir. All of God’s wealth and resources belong to you because you’re His heir. The Bible says the silver, gold, precious stones, and the whole world belong to Him: “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Haggai 2:8). Do you see that? That means it’s all yours too! Your money is coming, no doubt. Live in that reality!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My God gave the ultimate sacrifice for me not to suffer. I shall walk in the light of the fact that I have money, and I shall not lack another day in this year of Wonders Without Number. Glory be to God!

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear
There is an important word I’d like you to note in our verse for today: the word ‘framed.’ That word is translated from the Greek katartizō, which means to restore or mend. The word ‘worlds’ is the Greek aión, which means course of life – the structure and administration or seasons and times of one’s life on Earth. But today, we’ll zone in on ‘framed.’ Notice how the original meaning is about mending or restoring your life by the Word. You can restore what needs restoration; you can fix anything that’s been ruined. Every bad mentality about your finances is done away with when you begin to frame or mend those negative experiences you’ve had.
You can put a halt to the malicious financial destructions and havoc in your business, and the havoc the devil seeks to wreak in your world, life, family, city or country, or in the lives of your loved ones. You do this by uttering the Word of God that your spirit has taken hold of. By simply making the right sound, you mend your finances. You restore what was lost. Frame the course of your finances to be consistent with God’s plan and purpose for your life. Mend financial trouble by declaring, “The money is coming!” and it has no choice but to stay! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I mend every broken financial blessing in my life. Any havoc the devil thought he had created to cause me to lack is done away with, in the Name of Jesus!

Psalm 112:1-3
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Some Christians are wrongly convinced that wealth or financial prosperity is not for Christians or that it’s for a select few. If you believe this, you couldn’t be further from the truth. God’s prosperity is not for a select few; it’s for all who follow and live by His Word.
We find three people in the Bible that God identified Himself with: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they were super-wealthy. In Exodus 3:6, God said to Moses, “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Read about these three individuals, and you’ll be amazed at the extent of their prosperity.
Money and financial freedom is your birthright freely given by your Father in Heaven. If you’ve struggled all your life in lack, what you need is a new orientation, a new mindset, a new sound. Change your language, your consciousness, and your thinking, and watch your situation change. Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Think and talk prosperity. Keep saying “my money is coming,” until your whole mentality isn’t just overhauled but supplanted by the possibilities of the prosperous life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As the seed of Abraham and heir of the whole world, my prosperity is unlimited; all things are mine! I lay up gold as dust, and I walk in the realm of superabundance, wherein I am graciously supplied with every good thing, in Jesus’ Name.

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work
Prosperity has nothing to do with how hard you fast and pray. We know people who pray for hours and hours every day. Some climb mountains and stay there for days to try and invoke the “spirit of prosperity.” Understand that by grace, God has made so much power available for you to do exploits in your finances too! So it’s the Lord’s doing, not your own effort.
You see, God delights in your prosperity (Psalm 35:27). You don’t have to wonder whether God put your name down on the “poverty list” or the “rich list,” there’s no such thing. Prosperity is your birthright. He doesn’t want you to put your trust in step-by-step human calculations, because that won’t work. They may seem to work for some time, but they won’t last. True and lasting prosperity comes by grace. Your prosperity isn’t dependent on any man, business, systems and governments of this world, or the economy, but on God. It’s by His grace. That’s why our verse for the day reminds us that the power that God gives His children to get wealth is spiritual power, not political power or economic power. It’s the power He gives every Christian to spread the good news all over the world through our finances.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My purpose in life is to establish God’s righteousness in the earth and in the hearts of men around the world. I’m blessed with the finances I require to carry this out.

Proverbs 6:6-8
Take a lesson from the ants, you lazy fellow. Learn from their ways and be wise! For though they have no king to make them work, yet they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter
The thing about money is it requires a discipline that a lot of Christians don’t have. The good thing is it’s something the Spirit of God can train you in if you allow Him to. Some don’t realise they’re not supposed to spend everything they get. The moment their salary hits the bank account, it is only by God that it lasts a week. Simple wisdom is that you spend less than you earn or receive; otherwise, you could end up in debt. The response of some to this might be, “What I earn isn’t even enough. After paying my tithe, giving my offering and doing other things I need to do, nothing is left.” First of all, understand that you’re the seed of Abraham; therefore, your financial prosperity has nothing to do with how much you earn or the economic situation around you. You’re as rich as your faith can say. You cannot be limited by a salary!
The issue isn’t the size of your income but the size of your mind – your thinking and what your faith can produce. Think about how much you might have received in the last year. How much of that did you reproduce? If your answer isn’t good, it’s time for a change. As long as the things you put money into aren’t able to reproduce what you put in and more, then there’s a problem, and it’s to your advantage that you change things. Wonders without number are your portion. That means in your finances too. Get to work! The grace is sufficient.

Romans 8:16-17
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ …
One of the most critical points to understand when it comes to permanent financial freedom is this: become Kingdom-focused and partner with God in every financial journey you embark on. Deliberately and actively ensure that you’re operating as one who is a joint heir. Let me show you how. Choose an amount that you specifically say is your seed or business deal with the Lord, and put Him in the loop with regards to a project you want to do. He becomes your business Partner. It must be specific, and it should cover each business or project as it comes – just like you’d invest in a business deal with a business partner. Your partner is then forced to protect your business interests since He has a stake in that business.
The giving principle sticks throughout the Word and cannot be escaped. Giving is a proactive approach to invite God into a specific project so that God literally owns shares in it. Use this giving secret and reap results you never imagined.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a financial powerhouse. I shall shock my world with my success. I have the best business Partner in my Lord. I am set for life, hallelujah!

Matthew 10:41
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward…
One thing the devil has used to deceive the Body of Christ is tarnishing or diminishing the importance of giving to the man or woman God has set above you. When you give to your man of God, God considers that gift to be His. Peter told Ananias in Acts 5:3, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?” Notice how it deliberately says you tried to deceive the Holy Spirit, yet Ananias was bringing the money to church. Ananias didn’t have this revelation. He did not realise that what he was presenting to the Apostles, God considered His own.
When you give to a prophet, you are buying into the grace of that prophet. You acquire the wages, the benefits of a prophet even though you are not one. You qualify yourself to be provided for by God in the same way that He provides for His Prophets. Your gift does not buy the blessing; it allows you to subscribe to receive the blessing that brings money into your pocket. So when your set man says your money is coming, it’s easy to get it because you have received the prophet in his name. Therefore, your reward shall be easy!

I am blessed to have a set man chosen by God for me. I shall reap the rewards of my association in Jesus’ Name!

2 Kings 7:1
Elisha replied, “Listen to this message from the LORD! This is what the LORD says: By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, six quarts of choice flour will cost only one piece of silver, and twelve quarts of barley grain will cost only one piece of silver.”
When the city of Samaria was under siege, Prophet Elisha declared to the people that within 24 hours, the economy of that nation would change. Now I need you to understand how desperate the situation in Samaria had become, then compare it with your own. There was such a bad famine that women had now resorted to cooking their own babies for food. All that one could buy from the marketplace was dove’s dung, which was selling for five pieces of silver. The situation was so desperate that when the Word of God came through the Prophet Elisha, it seemed as though the prophet had missed what God would do. It was a seemingly impossible task.
Elisha was not perturbed by what was happening around him or in that economy. He knew that if he spoke the word, something would happen, and it did! Exactly as he declared it, a 24-hour miracle took place! If God can change an entire economy in 24 hours, imagine what can happen in your next 24 hours if you produce the right sound? What can happen to your bank account, your business, your project, or your contract? Speak the Word, brothers and sisters! Elisha was not born again like you, yet he had so much faith. You have a serious advantage over every Old Testament General because of Christ in you! If you say money is coming in the next 24 hours, it shall be so! Believe it and act on it!

2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him …
God is actively searching for those who will switch their mindset to a mindset of prosperity. Those who are willing to not only believe Him but act on what His word says concerning money. Today’s verse says His eyes are diligently searching the whole earth just so He shows himself strong when you demonstrate your faith. He desires to back up what you say by faith! So if you say my money is coming by faith, He makes sure that you have the full backing of Heaven concerning that decree.
Now, look at this. The Hebrew word for ‘perfect’ there is the word shalem, which means ‘loyal, devoted, dedicated, faithful.’ Get to a point where no matter how bankrupt you are or how the odds may be stacked up against you, you trust and act upon the Word of God. Be loyal to that Word, be faithful and dedicated to it. Don’t budge even for a second. The whole parliament of Heaven is ready to back you up. Speak the Word, and watch God show Himself strong in your finances in this year of Wonders Without Number!

Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…
Brothers and sisters, we are co-heirs with a God of abundance. He expects increase in everything that carries His name. He has no problem with you having more than you need. David said, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” He was telling us that God had poured so much into his cup that it was running over, yet God did not consider it a waste.
Understand today that you can be the sweetest man or woman, anointed and in love with the Lord, but remain broke. You can only get to the “running over” level when your vision is aligned to the Word of God concerning money and you’re actively participating through giving. When you are blessing conscious, abundance conscious, and prosperity conscious, and speak the right words, you create the right sound waves for money to come. The power of God for finances is available to you. And through that power, God is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that you can ask or think. He can do far beyond your requests, expectations, and imaginations through His power inside you. Become blessing conscious. Keep telling yourself my money is here, and it’s not going anywhere!

Plenty is my portion. I can never lose out on the financial abundance God has graciously given me. I am a success!

Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
The Hebrew word for ‘window’ in today’s verse is árrubah. It is the same word that describes a sluice gate. A sluice gate can be found on a dam wall and is used to control the levels and flow of water. The gates relieve pressure on the dam wall by allowing water to flow through the other side.
Your giving forces the windows or sluice gates of the storehouses of Heaven to open and bring money to you. They control the pressure or the flow of your money as you give. The more you give, particularly your tithes, you exert pressure on those windows or gates, and they’re forced to swing open. Not only does this relieve the gate, but it also assures the flow of financial blessings to you. I like how God our Father says, “Prove Me now!” Test Me now and see if I won’t do it. What a God! This is marvellous! You serve a God who is not afraid to back up what He said in His Word. Develop a mindset of giving, a culture of giving, and see if you won’t see the results! He said, “prove Me.” If I were you, I’d take up the offer! The money is indeed pouring in through the sluice gates!

Proverbs 22:6-7
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Many assume when they read this verse that God was talking about teaching our children how to follow God’s ordinances and live a life of righteousness. But God told me it was not so. While it is still important to teach our children important Christian doctrines, this specific verse demands we teach them something else. And the answer lies in the very next verse:
“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” That’s exactly what we should train up our children to know, that if you are poor, someone rich will always rule over you.
Folks, if our children learn this truth, they will never depart from the way of being rich. You will have given them a goodly heritage for life. Some parents act as though God said, “Leave the children to Me, and I’ll determine how they’ll grow up.” He did not say that. Instead, He said parents should train up the child in the way he should go. It’s your responsibility to train your children in money issues. Give them the right money principles, teach them to make the right sound for money, tell them to create highways for angels to travel with their money. Give them the right training!

Proverbs 23:4
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Now when some of you saw today’s verse, you thought this might be a contradiction of what we’ve been focusing on this month because it says labour not to be rich. Let me explain what the scripture means. What the Word of God is saying here is that the kind of wisdom that makes us rich does not come from our human intellect. That is why we are specifically told to “cease from [our] own wisdom.” There is financial wisdom that comes through partnership with God that has the ability to make you rich. When I talk about partnership with God, it simply means partnership with the Kingdom. It’s being concerned about the things that concern God, and when you do this, money becomes easy.
While others are still toiling and labouring all day for money, your bank account will be bursting at the seams. The moment you decide to be Kingdom-focused with your finances, you’re no longer operating by your own wisdom. You will cease to operate through natural means. While others observe certain worldly protocols, you bypass procedure, and money finds you! You no longer labour like a slave as you have the correct mindset for wealth.

Psalm 119:130
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
You cannot understand money according to the Word until you have light. The word ‘entrance’ in today’s verse does not mean admission; it means practice or exposure of the Word. So, in other words, the practice or exposure of the Word gives light. Do you see how that changes the verse significantly? The light you have determines the way you walk in financial freedom. This is an important scripture in a world of economic darkness. Isaiah 60:1 says: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
If you look closely at this verse, you will see that you can only shine after arising and after the light has arrived. If you sit with your little lamp, nothing happens. If you say I only have a little business, then it shall remain so. You will die with a smile on your face having never experienced the best financial freedom God had purposed for you. However, when you partner with God, you have partnered with light, with illumination in your finances. You will no longer walk in darkness concerning money. You will no longer have sleepless nights worrying about where the tuition fee is going to come from, where the rent will come from, or what will happen to your business in hostile financial economies. Begin to walk in the light of God’s Word concerning your money. You’re not a beggar and never will be! Your money is coming!

Benefits of Giving
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Nothing reveals the inner thoughts of a man’s heart or character as much as money. Money amplifies your character and is a measure of what you’re truly committed to. What you do with money now shows the things that are truly important to you. If you’re a stingy person with not much money, you will still be a stingy person with a lot of money. Some Christians say I’ll start tithing or giving seeds when I get more money, but the truth of the matter is, it’s harder to give when you have more to give.
A lot of people are excited about money coming to them, but what is the mission of the money when it comes? Today’s scripture says when you give, there are serious benefits to it. Not only is your money coming with good measure, but it’s also pressed down, shaken together and running over! I imagine Luke could not adequately decide which words best described the wonderful benefits of giving, so he came up with the several descriptions above. He goes on to say men shall give to you. That means clients will no longer be a problem; you will have so many paying for your services. Contracts will no longer be a problem; even strangers will feel led to give you money. Make giving your topmost priority. There are benefits to it. You should become outstanding in this endeavour this year. As you faithfully give what you have, the Lord will multiply your finances and increase your capacity to give even more. Prepare for a barrage of financial blessings this year!

We are in the end of the end times, and it is the most exciting time when the church will harvest souls like never before. The Gospel shall be preached with greater fervour, accuracy, and effectiveness as we prepare for the Lord's soon return.
We must go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and the Gospel is news that is too good to be true. The 'world' consists of the planet and all of its inhabitants, and those inhabitants are not limited to human beings only. The verse tells us to declare good news to 'every creature,' and a creature is anything that is created.
You are authorized to preach to every created thing, which means inanimate things can actually hear you. Jesus spoke of rocks crying out if people remained quiet (Luke 19:40 KJV). That implies rocks are listening and on one occasion, He answered a tree, which means the tree could speak or communicate and hear. Scientists have discovered that trees communicate with each other. If trees can hear, your money can hear. If rocks can hear, that tumour or growth can hear. Anything you thought was not moving in your business can hear; the very walls can hear.

Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.
There are creatures you find only in the deep. For example, the blue whale is the largest animal known to have lived on Earth, bigger than any dinosaur. It weighs up to 400,000 pounds – about the weight of thirty-three adult elephants – and is nearly 30 meters long. It is so large that its new-born weighs as much as an adult Asian elephant. You will not find such a creature in shallow places.
As you can imagine, a creature this size does not make a slight sound. Blue whales are, in fact, one of the loudest animals on Earth. They can communicate over thousands of kilometres. Humans cannot hear their sounds because they are off the human hearing spectrum. That lets us know that certain sounds are reserved for the deep.

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
When Jesus was on the cross, the sins of the whole world were on Him. So when He died, He went to Hell, and the Devil and his cohorts grabbed hold of Him. They thought, "we've got Him now!" but they were in for the shock of their lives when He shook them off like bothersome gnats!
Jesus flicked the Devil off like the bug-like specimen the Devil is, but understand that He did that as a man.

Now, if the man, Jesus, could defeat the Devil and his cohorts on the Devil's territory, how much more are you capable of?

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Faith is a subject that can never be exhausted while you are here on Earth. Faith is your lifestyle. That means everything you do or have that pertains to life is done, obtained, and maintained through faith. Even your physical body is maintained through faith.
Today's scripture tells you that the faith of the Son of God maintains the life of your physical body. Before Christ came, died, and was resurrected, the only way you could physically live or maintain life was through physical blood, but now, you are no longer subject to the vulnerabilities of blood types A, AB, and B. You live by faith!
Here is the beautiful part: you do not need to manufacture this faith on your own. No physical bone marrow or stem cells are necessary because now you are flesh of His flesh and bone of His bones. God gave you His own faith. Why? Because He loves you! So, speak to that sickness in your body.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Did you know that, as a child of God, you were never meant to struggle in life? It is an error for you to sweat to get a job, gain abundance, or have the good things in life. I hear you. You are saying well, what about the scripture we just read? I am so glad you asked.
That scripture was given to a fallen man, Adam. It was a curse, but you are not under any curse, for the Word of God tells us that Christ has redeemed us from the curse.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
There are many writers of the books of the Bible but only one author. The Bible says that holy men were moved to write inspired by the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is always intentional and selective with His words. Therefore, it is to your benefit to study the scriptures and discover what He is saying beyond the printed words on your Bible's pages.
Today's scripture relates the tongue or speaking to a pen or writing. That means, when you speak, something is being written, but notice, it's not just anybody's pen. It is the pen of a "ready writer." A ready writer is one who is both skilled and diligent. A ready writer does not write only once and put the pen down, no. A ready writer is never without their implement.
Your words chart the course of your life. Therefore, speak words that are worth rehearsing, repeating, and remembering. If you are unsure what you should be saying, get into the books of the Bible written by Paul and find words worth repeating. They are inspired words and infused with grace. Just as holy men were moved by the Spirit of God, as you rehearse His Word, your life will move forward and upward in this new year!!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the scribe of my life. I only speak inspired words that move my life forward. I am rich. I am prosperous. I am abundantly supplied, in Jesus’ mighty name!

Job 23:12 (KJV)
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
An average adult's stomach can hold just under a litre when empty and between two to four litres when full. Once you are an adult, your stomach remains the same size – unless you have surgery to make it smaller. While the stomach is expandable, it is possible to eat so much that the stomach bursts or ruptures.
Your spirit also has an appetite. It desires to feed on the Word all the time. It also expands to enlarge its capacity to receive what you put in it, but the advantage is that it has unlimited capacity. No matter how much of the Word you feed your spirit, it always wants more and can expand without rupturing and once it expands, it never goes back to its previous size.
Why keep your spirit on a two-litre diet when it has unlimited capacity? Right now, your spirit is growling with a hunger for the Word. Do not make the mistake of looking in the spiritual mirror and thinking you are already fat. To do so would be a sign of spiritual anorexia. The Bible says the liberal soul shall be made fat. Be liberal with your intake of the Word, understanding that your spirit can never overeat. So, go deeper into the Word this new year, not just in quality but in quantity also.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My appetite for the Word is increasing daily. I am growing in grace, and the Word is increasing mightily in every area of my life!

Acts 6:8 (NKJV)
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
Isaiah 40:31 is a verse that has been grossly misapplied. It says, "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Many have used that verse to delay action and "wait" until something happens or, worse yet, to "wait" for God to do something. But understand that God has done everything He is ever going to do, and waiting on God is never a passive stance. This is an important lesson especially as we are delving into a brand new year, The Year of Heaven on Earth! I know a number of you have been ‘waiting’ for one thing or the other to take place, but it’s the wrong kind of waiting. Let me show you.
When the early church was growing, the apostles decided to select men full of the Holy Ghost to "wait" on tables. Stephen was one of them. His waiting did not involve sitting around waiting for God to do something. In fact, as he was waiting on tables, he was working miracles, dispensing wisdom, and doing wonders! He was so full of the Holy Ghost that he would hand you a plate of food, and cancer would leave. He would wipe down a chair, and the next person who sat in it would be delivered. Hallelujah!
So, the next time you think about waiting on God, get busy! Be filled with the Holy Ghost and go out there and do great wonders and miracles among the people. That is the kind of waiting God approves of and what HE is waiting for.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am God's waiter. I exist to serve Him and in my waiting, I perform signs, wonders, and miracles in the mighty name of Jesus!

Joel 2:26,28
You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied…And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Look at today’s set of scriptures closely. Notice how it says you shall eat plenty and be satisfied, and when you’re done eating well and being satisfied, what happens? It says, “I will pour out my spirit on ALL flesh!” Glory be to God! It seems the Lord God Jehovah only wants to trust you with an outpouring of His Spirit if you are well-fed and satisfied - when you do not lack. Do you see that? In other words, visions, dreams, prophecies, etc., can only work perfectly if you’re eating in plenty and are satisfied.
I always say the anointing with no money becomes an annoyance. How true this is! No matter how gifted you are, you still need money in order to implement God’s perfect will through you. The anointing works better with financial provision. As we are in a season of soaking into the revelation of money with a mission, grab hold of this thing and don’t let it go. Money has to be addressed more in the Church, so we rid ourselves of the poverty plague. Living from pay check to pay check is an error! To swim in debt and lack as a biological sanctuary of the Lord is taboo! Refuse it today. Keep telling yourself the money is coming. Act on it. Live it. Let plenty be the standard of your life! The money is coming, and it is staying!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a billion dollars walking. I am blessed to eat in plenty, and I am completely satisfied. I shall push the Good News and demonstrate God’s power even more because I am prosperous. Hallelujah!

Psalms 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Notice what the above scripture does NOT say. It does not read, a son of a king or a son of a poor man begging. He says I’ve been young, and now I’m old, and I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken, or his children begging bread. That means prosperity is proof of righteousness! If you are born again, you are born into righteousness by default. You don’t score points in order to become righteous. You are righteous already; that’s your identity in Christ! With that said, there is no way you can ever lack.
David, the king of old, with all his vast experience leading nations, said he had never seen a single instance where the righteous were forsaken or begging. So why is that somewhat the norm for some reading this right now? It’s because the righteous have not awakened to the reality of inbuilt wealth. Christians have accepted world standards and rules when it comes to wealth, forgetting that financial stability is your birthright as a born-again Christian. It’s your right. Simply walk in the reality of this Word. You can never be forsaken, nor can you ever be in abject poverty that causes you to beg. Arise today like the wealth magnet you are!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a wealth magnet. My life is a success, and begging is not in my vocabulary. I shall experience tremendous WONDERS WITHOUT NUMBER in my finances this year in Jesus’ Name!

Joel 2:24-25
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
What a loaded word in today’s scriptures! You see, the reason why you may not see this as a loaded scripture is that you’re not looking at it in terms you understand. Let’s put it into modern-day language. Instead of the floors, wine and oil, we can say your bank account shall be full of money, your pantries and refrigerators full of food, hallelujah! In other words, you can never lack! Verse 25 goes on to describe how God is a restorer of time. It means He can restore wasted months, wasted weeks, wasted days, wasted hours, Hallelujah!
So, don’t panic because of time. When you panic, you act in fear, and fear is of the devil. As long as you’re panicking, you can’t be financially stable. So, refuse to panic for “lack of time.” You can still start that business and succeed tremendously in it. You can still shout at the mountain saying, “My money is coming!” and it shall be so!
You shall not lack, and your time to collect wealth has been restored in this glorious year of Wonders Without Number!

Joel 2:19
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith …
If you read the passage of scripture above, you will see how God desires for you to be satisfied first before anything. He takes no pride in seeing you living below the poverty line. This is an error for anyone surnamed with Christ. You see, according to the Bible, signs, wonders, and prophecy only happen after the money has come. So, if prophecy, miracles and healing are taking place now, and you’re witnessing these miracles daily, it means the money is there somewhere. The gifts of the Spirit in operation prove God has already poured out a serious financial unction on His people. It means He has already sent the corn, in the form of money, to your bank account.
One of the “hardest” things in the eyes of most Christians is the acquisition of money. But, brothers and sisters, money is not a hard thing at all. If you have seen a demonstration of power in church, there lies your confirmation that the corn, wine, and oil have already been released – that’s your money right there. So claim what belongs to you! Believe it and live by it! The money is coming to you in the year of Wonders Without Number!

2 Chronicles 20:20
… Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Here’s a shocking aspect from the verse above. Just because you believe God doesn’t mean you will prosper. You didn’t get it. When you believe in God, you are firmly rooted. Even when shaken, you stand; still, you won’t be moved. But when you believe the prophets, that’s when prosperity comes. In other words, God manipulated himself through His Word that when He sends a prophet, that’s when prosperity comes. This is the reason why so many of God’s churches have so many poor Christians: we have no prophets in these churches. Or if they are there, the people don’t believe them.
The Bible says believe your prophets, and you will prosper. It’s a principle that is already there. Just like the force of gravity, whether you like it or not, it exists, and it works. In this year of Wonders Without Number, God has told us, “The money is coming!” But, for this to happen as effectively as God desires it to be, we must believe in our God-given prophets. Your very prosperity depends on it.

Matthew 6:20
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Money is so important, to the extent of it being the only thing God acknowledges as His competition. Just imagine, God competes with only one thing, and that’s money. The scripture above indicates this. The entire Bible doesn’t care about other gods; it says they are nothing! They don’t hear or speak, but when it came to money, He said: “You cannot serve two masters.” In other words, God considers money a master, and He considers Himself a master. He also says that if you get to a point where you are trapped by money, you will not be able to serve Him. You cannot serve money and God at the same time because they are two masters.
So, imagine these very words were spoken by Jesus Himself. He wanted you to understand that both money and God serve the same purpose in your life. That’s why the Bible says money answers all things (Ecclesiastes 10:19); God also answers all things. Having known this, how do you then deal with this competition? Understand that the Bible talks about the excellence of wisdom over money. Money can’t give life, but wisdom gives life: “For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.” (Ecclesiastes 7:12). So, in all your financial endeavours, always put the Kingdom first. Have money with a mission. By so doing, you firmly establish God as your Master, and money as the soldiers you send to recruit even more soldiers for the KINGDOM!

I thank God for the wisdom that functions in me and causes me to prosper, succeed, and excel in all I do. With God as my Master, I’m piloted by wisdom unto greater levels of prosperity in Jesus’ Name!

Luke 2:7 (KJV)
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
This is the time of year when the majority of the world turns its attention to the coming of the Lord. As we remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, we anticipate giving and receiving gifts, spending time with loved ones, and all the wonderful things that the Christmas season brings. As Christians, we not only celebrate His coming as a babe laid in the manger but also as our soon-coming King! Praise the Lord!
But just imagine Mary, the mother of Jesus, cradling the Creator of all things in her arms, nursing El Shaddai, the Many-Breasted One, rocking the one who calmed the raging storm into the peaceful, blissful sleep of infants, and then wrapping the Comforter in the comfort of swaddling clothes and laying Him to recline in a manger.
It is a wonder of wonders that the created would give rest to the Creator. And a greater wonder is that you now have the ability to give the Creator rest. The word of God tells us that He now resides in you. Right now, He is reclining in you. Imagine the trust in the God of this universe that He would choose to make His abode in you. He trusts that you will take Him where He wants to go, that you will carry His presence carefully. He trusts that you will nurture His life and cause it to grow until He is fully formed in you!

"And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, My LORD..."
Abraham has the testimony that he served lunch to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He did not have God living on the inside. Still, he managed to develop such a relationship that God could appear to him, visit with him, and discuss His plans with him. You might be wondering how it is possible to see God. Doesn't the Bible say that no man can see God and live (Exodus 33:20)? That is where you would miss it because you are not a man or human. You are a spirit!
Only a deadbeat dad does not want to be seen by his children, and God is not that. He is a good Father, and it gives Him great joy when His children mature enough that He can appear and converse with them. But that requires light because God is a being of light. You also must function as a being of light. When you increase the light of the word in you, you will begin to see what you have never seen.
Your eyes should be open to seeing spiritual things. Abraham should never have a better testimony than yours. Find scriptures that talk about angels or God appearing to people. Allow that light to enter your spirit, and you will soon testify of your own destiny-changing encounters with God.

Psalm 103:1-5 (KJV)
"Bless the LORD… Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."
From the moment you are born, the world conditions you to grow old and die. Yet the word of God says we are not of this world. As such, we should not be conformed to it. The conformities of this world are subtle. Therefore, you must constantly conscientize yourself about the reality of your true citizenship.
God's word has given us promises whereby we can escape the corruption of this world. You do not have to be sick, grow old, or die. Those things are of this world. Moses lived under the old covenant yet managed to taste the powers to come. The Bible tells us that at 120 years, he still had the vitality of a man of 30. Moses received such a rub-off of the presence of God that God had to remind him to die.
The word of God declares that you are a citizen of Zion, and the mindset of its citizens is vastly different from this world. For example, a person who is 100 years here is considered a child in Zion! Begin to reprogram your way of thinking. Be Mount Zion conscious! Start now! Tell yourself that you will live beyond 100 years. Your body is listening. It is part of creation waiting for you to manifest as a son of God. Tell it what it needs to hear to live and experience the realities of Zion.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith..."
'Devil' is not a name. It is a job description. It means one who throws consistently until he pierces through. That is what the devil does. He bombards the mind, telling you one lie after another in hopes that one of them will pierce through. The devil does not have any authority over you. You are the one with the real power. So his strategy is to try to get you to use your power against yourself by receiving his lie and then acting on it by speaking it.
When you speak, you bring things into being. Your very DNA testifies to this fact. Have you noticed that when you go to the doctor, they ask what diseases are in your family line? The presumption is if diseases are in your family's bloodline, you are predisposed to them. That is a lie! But if you believe and speak it, your DNA will unlock that thing, and it will come upon you.
That is why you must never lay claim to any disease or infirmity. Never say "my diabetes" or "my cancer." The devil will see to it that you hear the evil report over and over again. He will tell you that you will surely die but do not believe it, and never change your confession! You are not denying the fact that your body may be dealing with some form of infirmity. You are simply denying it's right to be there!

Philippians 2:8 (KJV)
"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
There is a book on the New York Times bestsellers list since it was first published in 2007. It introduced the idea that people express love to their significant others the way they want to receive love. For example, a person's "love language" may be physical affection. So, according to the book's writers, that person's tendency would be to express love through physical affection because that is the way they desire to receive expressions of love.
Though many believe this was a novel concept, it was inspired by God, for He Himself expresses love the way He desired to be loved. Our scripture for today tells us precisely what His love language is. It says that Jesus, God in the flesh, became obedient, even to the death of the cross. Obedience is God's love language.
Whilst it is good to express your love and adoration to God verbally, you need to understand that God is a Spirit, and spirits do not respond to affection. So, when you really want to tell God how much you love Him, do it through your obedience. Do what He tells you to do when He tells you to do it. That is what He sees and receives as love.

"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory..."
The devil is a spiritual being, but he is not spiritual. He does not know everything, and he does not understand spiritual things. For example, God specifically named the tree He told Adam not to eat from. It is implied the devil heard what God said, yet in Genesis 3:1, we find the devil asking Eve, "hath God said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" The devil had no idea which tree they should not eat from until Eve told him.
We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. 'Mystery' does not mean secret. Instead, it refers to esoteric, or specialized, knowledge given to a select few. So, the devil can hear what is said, but that does not mean he understands. That is why the scripture goes on to say if he had been able to understand God's mysteries, he would not have crucified the Lord of glory. The devil could know from the scriptures that Jesus would be crucified, but he failed to understand why, which was his undoing.
As you declare, "THE MONEY IS COMING!" you are speaking a mystery, special knowledge given to you. Therefore, say it with boldness and confidence, understanding that you are speaking spiritual things. The devil cannot understand, and he can only try to figure out what's happening by the angelic activity around you. But God has arranged it so he will be caught unawares as you plunder the wealth of the wicked, and he will be shocked as you takeover!

"What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."
"By any means necessary" is a phrase popularized by civil rights leaders in America to demonstrate their willingness to do whatever it takes to accomplish their cause. However, the essence of the phrase did not start there. The Bible declared long before civil rights that the Kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent must take it by force (Matthew 11:12). This is the attitude you ought to have when spreading the Gospel.
The number one mission of every Christian is to spread the Gospel BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. So, you must seriously contemplate what role you play in accomplishing that. There is no grey area when it comes to spreading the Gospel and winning souls. You must be actively engaged in one way or another in accomplishing this great commission, for the salvation of souls is God's very heartbeat.
You can decide to be on the frontlines, going out into the highways and byways, compelling men to come to the Lord. Or you may be dedicated to praying that laborers be sent into the fields to gather the harvest. You could also commit your finances to God so that your money becomes money with a mission and is used to further the spreading of the Gospel. Whatever method you choose to employ, find your place in this great commission and remain steadfast, for the Gospel must be preached by any means necessary!

"In the beginning God created... And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be..."
You have capabilities that no other creature on Earth has, and you have special creative abilities that God placed in you to be just like Him. To understand what you have, you must understand how God creates. Today's scripture tells us that God created, then the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and then God said. That is the creative process in action.
Your creative process starts with God's Word, which is His will. Get a verse. That is the material you will use to begin to create. Then begin to imagine – think about what you desire to see, do, or have in your life. Then move (racaph) over that idea; brood over it in constant imagination of the outcome. In other words, meditate on it. Mutter it until you are thoroughly convinced in your heart that what you have imagined and are saying is real. After meditating on it for some time, begin to speak. I am a multi-millionaire! I am healed! My business is flourishing! The money is coming! After you have created, act as though the things you have spoken are true because they are.
As you exercise your creative ability in this way, you call those things that did not exist as though they existed. Those things will have no choice but to obey by coming out of the spiritual realm where you created them and into existence in the physical!

Romans 12:1 (KJV)
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
There is a book that caused an uproar in the medical community called Dead Doctors Don't Lie. The catchy and somewhat controversial title suggests that it is impossible to do anything after you're dead. However, I propose there are things you can and should do after you're dead.
When you were born again, the old you died. Your spirit – the essence of who you really are – was replaced by the Spirit of God. The great Apostle Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ." Galatians 2:20 (KJV) He understood that a truly born-again Christian has gone to the point of no return. That is the reality for every Christian. The remaining portion of that verse is also true, which says, "nevertheless, I live." Galatians 2:20 (KJV) You still live a life in the flesh. That is where the dilemma lies for many Christians.
We are in the deeper life phase, and you are responsible for presenting your own body as a living sacrifice. It is your duty to take it to the altar yourself. How? By killing every worldly desire. Whatever the world says is trending, fashionable, or "the norm" to do with your body that goes against the Word of God, don't do it! Instead, force your flesh to be a rebel for Christ. At first, you will not want to do it, but stay committed. By God's grace, you will be a holy trendsetter that others will want to follow.

Acts 3:6 (KJV)
"Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee…"
It is impossible for a pastor who lives in lack to impart plenty on you or for someone living in a free council house (the projects) to prophesy a mansion to you, and that prophecy comes to pass. The reason is simple: the level they possess indicates the level of grace they have the power to impart. What they possess is as much as their faith has managed to acquire. Consequently, that is as much as they can offer to you.
Generally, you cannot give what you do not have. That is a simple but potent principle that many have overlooked when it comes to financial sowing. As a result, people have sown financial seed that has produced no harvest. But as a wise investor, it is your responsibility to sow good seed into the most fertile environment so it can produce a harvest.
There are different kinds of soil and environments for different types of seeds. That is why you will find trees native to one area but nowhere to be found in another. So, before you sow, the best thing you can do is to investigate to see what the soil and environment have already produced. Check to see if that ministry's soil is fertile or if the person who receives your seed has the faith to consistently produce the kind of harvest you want. That will let you know the potential harvest you can reasonably expect.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the grace to recognize environments and timing. Therefore, I sow my seed with confidence. And as I instruct my seed to produce the harvest I desire, I reap in abundance.

Ephesians 5:18 (KJV)
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit,"
It is often said that when a person accepts Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, that person "gave their life to Christ." However, that is a misconception. Think about it: you accepted Christ because you realized how messed up and broken your life was. What would Jesus need with a life like that? No, sir! No, ma'am! He does not need your old life. In fact, when you are born again, you do not give your life to Christ; He gives His life to you!
The Word of God declares that when you are born again, you become a brand-new species of being that never existed before. Christ did not renovate or recycle your old life. He replaced it with His own! Now that you are born again, he needs your changed life. This brand-new life you received has qualified you to be used for His service. But God, who is a Spirit, never uses anything He does not first colonize. That is why He requires that you be filled with His Spirit.
You are a container, an earthen vessel containing God Himself, and He wants to be the one to influence you. The same way a drunken person is overwhelmed by the alcohol spirit, He wants to fill you to the brim with His Holy Spirit so that all of your faculties – physical, mental, and spiritual – are totally submerged by Him!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the body part of Christ. I love what He loves and hate what He hates. Wherever I go, I am Christ in motion. I exist for His glory and yield my entire being fully to Him!

Psalm 118:24 (KJV)
"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Pride is the lie you believe about yourself, and the greatest form of pride on Earth is a person who wakes up and does not pray. Every morning when you wake up, you enter into a day that belongs to God. It is HIS day! He owns it, and everything He owns, He protects.
God graciously allows you to enter His day and function in it as though it were your own. That is something to rejoice about! From the moment your eyes open, your mouth should also open in a prayer of thanksgiving to God. The Word of God encourages us to bless the Lord at all times and not to forget all his benefits. Sleep is a benefit. Protection as you sleep is a benefit. Waking up is a benefit. Having the strength to turn over, sit up, or rise up are all benefits. There is so much to be grateful for right from the very start of your day.
From today onwards, make it your practice to give thanks to God the moment you wake up. As you develop this attitude of gratitude, you will become more aware of the blessings in your life. God will reciprocate your praise and thanksgiving with His own joy, and His joy will create a fortified place for you in each day. You will go out and come in under His divine protection, strength, and enablement.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am so thankful that I have entered into God's day, where I am fortified, strengthened, and defended. No demon can touch me in this day. I am heavily guarded, heavily protected, God protected, in Jesus' mighty name!

Psalm 71:7 (KJV)
"I am as a wonder unto many …."
The world is fascinated with superheroes. Marvel Studios, Warner Bros, and Sony Pictures make billions of dollars because of that. They understand how human nature is captivated by the idea of untapped possibilities beyond ordinary human potential. That fascination is not just for movies, and it is something that God Himself has put in us to give us an indication of who we are and what we are capable of.
In the scriptures, we have caught glimpses of what a Holy Spirit-empowered person can do, Jesus being our prime example. He changed the chemical composition of water into wine. He ignored the molecular density of water and walked on top of it like pavement. He disappeared and reappeared right in front of people's eyes. And He says we are capable of greater works (John 14:12).
You are not meant for an ordinary human existence. You are a citizen of Mt. Zion. Right now, it is possible to taste of the powers to come, powers that are in full operation in Mt. Zion. Have you stopped to investigate what is happening there? No one ages there – everyone is youthful and perfectly healthy. They can be transported at the speed of thought. They live in a realm of complete abundance and prosperity, lacking nothing. Have you tasted of these powers yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Earnestly desire to function out of Mt. Zion. That is your place. Begin to walk in those powers now, and show the world who the real superheroes are!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am awakening to the reality of who I am in Christ. I reject the mediocre life of mere human beings. I am a god! I live a supernatural life, and I am a wonder to many!

John 1:14 (KJV)
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…."
There is an interesting verse of scripture in Psalm 89:34 (KJV) where God says, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips." It is a marvelous verse that reassures us of God's faithfulness to His word. However, the part I want to draw your attention to is in the latter part of the verse where it says, "nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."
From Genesis to Revelation, God has never done anything physical. All He does is speak. When God speaks, He speaks things. He said, "Let there be…," and whatever He said came into being. He gave you the same power to use. That means when you speak, you also speak things into being. If you could imagine every word you speak taking on physical form, that is exactly what happens in the realm of the spirit. So, when you declare, "I am rich!" those words take shape as spirits with a life of their own and look for ways to make you rich.
Right now, your life is a product of words, things you have spoken into being. So from today, be careful what you say. Never just utter thoughtless words. Be conscious of the power you possess to speak things into being and use it intentionally to create the life you desire for yourself and your family.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am BIG! I am the best thing that ever happened to my family. Through me, I transfuse the bloodline of my family with prosperity. I decree good health to my family's DNA and shift our status from lack to wealth!

1 Kings 4:29 (KJV)
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
I always say, if you give a woman a house, she will give you a home. If you give her a seed, she will give you a child. God designs a woman to receive what you give and return so much more. That is the likeness of God at work in her. You see, God is a Giver, and His nature is to receive what you give and multiply it back to you. He is a wealthy King who refuses to be outdone.
In the realm of royalty, the glory of a king is measured by his power to outgive another king. That automatically shifts the nature of our giving because the Bible says God has made us kings (Revelation 1:6). So, when you give to God, He does not only see a church member or partner giving. He sees another king giving, and His reputation demands that He outgive you.
That is what happened to King Solomon in 1 Kings chapter 3. Solomon gave an offering, and true to His nature, God was not about to be outdone by another king. He visited Solomon in a dream and asked, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Solomon's response had God's interest at heart. As a result, God not only granted Solomon's request but gave him much more than he asked for. I dare you to try and outgive God. Focus the purpose of your giving on God's Kingdom. He will give you exceeding much and largeness in return.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I excel in the grace of giving. I am empowered by God to receive seed and to give with joy. Therefore, I am never without a seed.

Luke 15:10 (KJV)
"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
One of the most challenging things is to give a gift to someone who already has everything. The only way you can try to touch the heart of such a person is to observe what gives them the most joy and then do your best to give along those lines. God is one you might be tempted to believe already has everything, but He does not. The Bible tells us that His desire is that no one should perish and that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Yet, people are dying every day and taking the express train to Hell.
God's heartbeat is to see lost souls saved. That is what He desires the most. The scripture tells us that Heaven erupts with joy whenever one sinner turns to the Lord. Notice, our scripture for today says there is joy in the presence of the angels of God. That means the joy spoken of here is not the angels' joy. It is God's joy witnessed by the angels in His presence.
Just imagine God shouting for joy every time you lead someone to Christ and the angels getting so excited seeing Him rejoice that they join in the jubilation! Hallelujah! You can cause God to rejoice like that by giving Him the gift He desires the most – a soul that receives salvation. In this festive season, tell someone today about how the Lord changed you, healed your body, and lifted you out of poverty into abundance. Give God a reason to rejoice!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is a testimony of the power, love, and grace of God. I am a burning fire for Jesus, and I will win a soul for Him today, in Jesus’ name!

1 Corinthians 1:25 (KJV)
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men…"
No one argues about the exit sign when a building is on fire. You may go in and out of that building every day and never pay attention to that green or red exit sign. You may even see it and disregard it as something unimportant and insignificant. But in the moment of trouble, when the fire hits that building and it is filled with so much smoke that you cannot see your way out, that exit sign becomes the most important thing to you.
God's ways are often considered foolish. The Bible says He uses foolish things to confound the wise (1Corinthians 1:27). So, it sounds ridiculous when we tell you to declare the money is coming, and by saying that, you create highways for angels to bring money to you. Nonetheless, that is the technology that God has given you, and it is so simple if you only believe it.
Right now, your finances may be up in smoke, and you cannot see your way out. But God has given you an exit sign to lead you out of poverty, hardship, struggle, and lack. Don't argue with God's methodology. Use the technology of sound to construct highways and byways for angels to travel and deliver the wealth that has been stored up for you. Declare, the money is coming! Every time you do, angels are moving towards you with your riches. The prosperity you seek is on the other side of that exit sign. Take it!

Isaiah 54:1 (KJV)
"Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who've never experienced childbirth! You're ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women." God says so!
There's an uncommon phenomenon in obstetrics known as false or phantom pregnancy. It is when a woman believes she is pregnant when she is not. This is not a delusional trick of the mind. The woman will actually have physical symptoms of pregnancy. She will look as though a baby is growing inside; she will feel the baby kicking. Some women even experience labour pains. Yet, when it is time to give birth, there is nothing there.
Experts have found that there are contributing factors that cause phantom pregnancy. For example, the woman may have a strong desire to be pregnant or an overwhelming fear of pregnancy or previous loss. For others, it is due to their lower socio-economic status. In other words, people who lack are more prone to this condition. Or it may be that they have tried to conceive for a long time with no results.
Many Christians are experiencing phantom pregnancies in their prayer life. They travail in prayer, yet they do not give birth. But that changes now! It does not matter how many times you've tried before, how broke you are, or how fearful you are about your circumstances, God is looking for one thing in your prayer, and that is faith. Get verses that connect to the changes you desire and nourish your spirit with them. Faith in the word makes your prayer life fertile. Something will come out of it!

Psalm 2:2-4 (KJV)
"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed... He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision"
The only time I speak of the devil is to remind you of his position, which is under your feet (Romans 16:20). Outside of that context, he is completely irrelevant. He is the prince of darkness. 'Prince' means first to be, and darkness speaks of ignorance. That simply means the devil is the first to be ignorant. He is so ignorant that the only way he can know what is going on with you is if you tell him.
Listen, you can fool the devil. He is the biggest fool and easily fooled. God has instituted a technology in your own body whereby you can fool it into health. You can fake a smile, and your body will respond with all the benefits of a real smile, and there are many. Similarly, you can fool the devil by acting out your spiritual reality even if you do not yet feel or see it in the natural.
The devil is not spiritual, and he can only be convinced by actions that contradict what he thinks. You can confuse him by saying and doing the opposite of any negative feeling or circumstance. Instead of crying and complaining about your temporary situation, just sit down and laugh. When you do this, you copy your Father who laughs at His enemies. Awaken to the reality of your power and position in Christ and laugh in the devil's face!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]-"
We are quickly approaching what the world calls the end of the year, and it has been a glorious year of Wonders without Number so far. And it is not over yet. Remember, a year does not know it is a year. And the new year begins when we declare it is a new year by the Spirit of the Lord. That means there is still time for more wonders to occur.
With God, there is never anything called delay. He does not sleep, so there is no yesterday for Him. He will never sleep (Psalm 121:3-4), so there will be no tomorrow for Him. He lives in one eternal now. That means the money you are waiting for is coming to you now. The healing you desire in your body, mind, or relationship is happening right this minute! That change you desire and the wonders you have been waiting to experience are not coming tomorrow; they are happening now!
So, do not ask, why is it taking so long? Instead, employ the technology of sound and step into the dimension of wonders. Declare what is rather than what will be. Use your words to step into the dimension of God where wonders without number are happening now!

Philippians 2:12 (KJV)
"…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
People are hired for their differences and fired for their similarities. That simply means what you do that is unique and valuable sets you apart from the rest. That is a principle that increases your value, secures your position, and leads to promotion in any environment. It is true in your place of business, your ministry, and, most importantly, in your walk with the Lord.
God places a premium on value to the extent that He has His own performance rating and rewards system. There will come a time when you will be rewarded for what you do here on Earth. However, you do not need to wait until that time to evaluate your performance. You can start now. Ask yourself, Am I really doing what the Lord says I should do? Is the way I live reflecting God?
There are no grey areas in your answers to these questions. You are either yielding your vessel to God or to the devil. If you are hesitant and uncertain in your responses, it may be because the devil is using you. If you realize that is the case, change is required. Shift immediately! The good news is that you do not need to do this on your own. The Bible tells us that God works in you to want to do His will and to do His will. So, evaluate yourself with the confidence of knowing that whatever your answers are, God will help you to improve.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
You do not need to be afraid of the devil. The Bible says resist him, and he will run away in terror (James 4:7). Nowhere in scripture will you find a verse that tells you to fight the devil. He is already a defeated foe. Just imagine facing an enemy, and all you need to do is resist. You are not resisting to gain victory. You have already done that, for Christ has secured your victory over the devil long ago. The fact that all you need to do is resist tells you where the real power is. It is with you!
So, how do you resist the devil? One way to resist is through meditation. The word 'meditate' in Joshua 1:8 is the Hebrew "hagah", which has several meanings. One meaning is to roar. Christian meditation differs from that of eastern religions in that we do not empty our minds. Instead, we fill our minds with the Word of God. As we meditate on scripture, we mutter the word quietly to ourselves. Then there are times when we roar the word.
When the devil roars fear, shame, defeat, and hopelessness at you, roar back! You are the real lion! Christ, the Word and Conquering Lion, resides in you. The devil is a fake lion. Resist him with the word, and you will turn his roar into a defeated whimper!

James 4:3 (KJV)
"Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts."
Many Christians believe their prayers will change the heart of God towards them or their situations. Unfortunately, that belief has caused a lot of frustration and disappointment. They have failed to recognize that their unanswered prayers result from a bad attitude, believing they can manipulate God through their prayers. This is what the Bible calls asking amiss or wrongly.
Notice it is the asking that is amiss and not necessarily the thing that is asked for. That means there is an attitude that can cause you to ask wrongly. Your motive can be incorrect because you ask for the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. But your attitude can also be incorrect in how you approach God in prayer. God cannot be manipulated, and prayer will never change God. Prayer changes you.
Prayer develops your attitude. If you leave the place of prayer and your attitude is still the same, you did not pray. Attitude is the fruit of the heart. Therefore, a bad attitude indicates that a change needs to take place in the heart. You cannot change your own heart. So, what do you do? It is simple. Have times when you pray with one request in mind: God, change my heart. And the best thing you can do is to pray in tongues. This allows the Holy Spirit to frame the requests of your heart perfectly. And as you give Him access to change your heart in prayer, your attitude will also change.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is for God! I give Him access to every room of my heart. I am a walking, talking expression of His desire. As He is, so am I in this world!
