You know how the media is so strategically built to influence lives, regardless of who you are? Yes! Whether you are male or female, young or old, believer or unbeliever, it is one of the major tools to form ideologies in men. On this episode, i just talked about a few things believers need to realise.
Intimacy with God is knowing His heart closely. Knowing what how He feels, knowing what He wants, what and He wants you to do and how He wants you to do. As we get closer to the Lord daily, His heart is uncovered to us.
Worship is about God and not about us. It’s about losing ourselves and pouring our love to exalt Jesus. Glory to God for this morning.
The Grace of God is a teacher, and therefore can come in form an instruction, a counsel, or God’s wisdom. To receive Grace to overcome any form of struggle might mean God giving an instruction to do so.
The Grace of God is to give ease to a man in the place where the strength of the man has failed. According to Titus 2:11, the grace of God teaches; hence, as we receive grace this morning, it might come in the form of God introducing a method to you to overcome a particular problem or otherwise.
Our Lord is good at all times, therefore, we give Him thanks at all times too. One of the major commandments in the scriptures is to give thanks. This means, thanksgiving is a pathway to the heart of God.
The easiest way to communicate with God is to speak in the language of the spirit. He is the father of all spirits. He understands when His sons and daughters commune with Him for a refreshing. This day and as always, we are refreshed as we pray in the spirit.
In this episode, we give thanks to God for giving us access to Him by His spirit within us. This is a priceless gift and we are indeed grateful for this. As we give thanks, the overwhelming presence of God overshadows us. Hallelujah.
Our God is worthy of honour and all the praise we give to Him. In today’s podcast, we honour him with thanks in the spirit and in understanding .
It’s a new month today and we enter into it with thanksgiving and declaring God’s word into it. The power of life and death is in our tongues, therefore we use it to create life into our lives this morning. Join me.
Ideologies, beliefs are strongholds that can hinder a man from coming into the fullness of God. There are blessings in Christ that we ought to experience but we have been restricted. We continue to pray this morning to break free.
There are ideologies and beliefs that restricts us from accessing the fullness of God. They have kept us in darkness, making us live as mere men and struggling with life. We address them this morning, and we trust God that they will be pulled down.
God honours the prayers of the saints and this is why we press again concerning these nations under the hold of terrorism. Our God is able, we trust Him.
With God there are no impossibilities at all. If He can encounter Saul the terrorist, then He can encounter the Talibans, Fulani herdsmen, Boko haram etc. Today, we pray for the peace of Afghanistan, Nigeria, and other nations under terrible terrorists attacks. Our God is able.
With many things that contend with the Lord in our hearts, we still choose to daily run to seek Him for who He is. This is the most important aspect of prayer. Loving up on Jesus, for nothing, just for Him. For Him alone.
We thank God for the gift of salvation. For saving us and giving us the gift eternal life. For in this, is our safety and access to all blessings in God. We also pray that the door of utterance be opened to us to speak this mystery to others as we ought to.
Light illuminates. And the word is the lamp to our feet and light to our path. Many believers have you not yet began to walk in the volume of books written concerning them, because of lack of understanding. Light is understanding and this morning we press for that.
One of the things a believer needs is Light! Light shining in our hearts to come to understand God’s word, which in turns shapens our lives and destinies. We pray for light this morning. We pray for the understanding of the word.
Behold what manner of love the father has bestowed on us. We love Him because He first loved us with an everlasting love. This morning, we thank God for this immense love.
The labourers are few but the harvest is plenty. We pray the Lord of harvest this morning to send labourers, of which you and I are a part of! God has called some of us, but we have refused. Those little nudging to pray, speak, preach...that we take for granted are usually we refusing to pick up God’s call. Today, we repent, we say to Him that we will respond in action.
For we do not know what to pray, but the spirit helps this limitation of our knowledge. Praying in the spirit prioritizes the thoughts of God in a believer.
There are endless possibilities in a man of the spirit. This morning we tap into those endless realities by calling them forth. As we pray, we begin to find them operational in our lives as living realities.
Let him that lacks wisdom ask the Lord that gives liberally without holding back. In the agenda of God, parenting is an important tool and also we are not ignorant of the fact that the enemy fights this ministry. So for this cause, we ask the Lord to give us the wisdom to raise godly children that will bring solution to their generation and stand for God.
We continue to call for God’s hand over seeming difficult issues today. As you call, believe and see the hand of God at work.
With God, nothing is impossible! No matter how high the situation, when the hand of the Lord shows up, a dramatic change beyond the imagination of man is birthed. We call for divine intervention this morning over matters of our lives. I encourage you to pray in faith and much more confidence knowing that God is able.
We press further to get clarity in the things that God has told us. After this, we are encouraged to go ahead to DO. What He says. God delights not in hearers alone but those who DO what He says.
God as the creator knows all about us. He has our lives accurately spelt out before Him. All we need to do is to pray to know His will for us per time,per season because we are actors of the script already written about us before the foundations of the earth.
A fresh outpouring of the spirit is not to say that that which had earlier happened is nullified. But to further invoke the influence of the spirit upon our hearts to the end that certain things are achieved to the glory of God. Zeal, passion, hunger, strength renewed is all we desire of the Lord today.
One of the things we need in the new month is light. Light to walk in the way, favour, wisdom, will and counsel of God. Light to know Him deeper daily. So, it’s a simple prayer in this episode, “flood our eyes with light dear Lord”
Our cry this morning is to know the Lord deeper. Like Apostle Paul’s cry in Phils.3:10, we seek to know the Lord, to experience the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of His suffering, seeing that we as well have not fully attained or being perfected in the pursuit of God until we lay hold of Him just has He has laid hold of us.
God wants all of us. He formed us, yet gave us a choice to either choose Him in all or have our own way. Like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, we choose to submit our will to His today because in His will there is perfection of destiny. Our cry this morning is “not my will but yours be done Lord”
God is our very present help in times of need. So in any area of your life you need help, you must cry out to Him. The greatest help we have is within us, we must draw from Him.
Revival is when the Spirit of God activates and quickens things in our lives. They might be spiritual or physical things. It is necessary things that are weakened or dead are brought back to life by the power of the holy ghost. As you press with this podcast, everything dead or weakened will come alive again.
This morning, we pray for boldness to preach the gospel of our Lord as we ought to. We also insist on the souls God has committed into our care; that we will not lose them to the enemy. God has given us the assignment to reconcile the world to Him and this we ought to do always.
We go again to declare the word of God over our lives. This week, we are expectant of miracles in all areas. Glory to Jesus.
The word of God says “we shall decree a thing and it will be established”. We exercise our authority to speak into our lives today. As we speak, the atmosphere is transformed and our lives begin to work in alignment with our utterances. Happy Sunday!
To have the eyes that sees, the ears that hears and the heart that understands is to able to trap the will of God per time per season. To be able to receive direction according to what has been written concerning us. As we pray with this, we receive clarity in all.
Our body is the temple of the living God, hence, we must learn to give thanks to God for it. Every part of our body is a blessing from God. Often times society, our past, people’s words and opinions have formed a basis of how we see ourselves, and this has made us live unfulfilled lives. But this morning, we give thanks for our bodies and tear down imaginations and words spoken that has brought us down.
Today our prayer is to keep our gaze on Jesus and not the boisterous wind. As God helps us to focus on Him, our lives receive are ordered in His perfect will.
God intends to change us much more that He intends to change the situation we bring to Him in prayers. Through this, He imprints His character upon our hearts and one of such character is patience. So when we study the word or pray and it feels like we are stuck, we shouldn’t be hasty to move on the flesh but we must patiently wait to ensure that the word is received on a good ground that it might bring forth fruits. This is what God intends, the fruits produced in us.
It is important that we at various times shape our lives with the word of God. We must countlessly declare the blessings of God upon ourselves, families, businesses, academics...so as to experience these blessings.
We ought to give thanks in all things. Thanksgiving gives us capacity to see beyond the current situation and establishes the will of God over it. Give thanks always! Give thanks always!
One of the ways to be led by the spirit is to pray in tongues. Clarities, answers, instructions are given as we engage the Lord in the spirit. This is true communion; we speak, and God speaks in return.
Often times, what restrict us from the consciousness of eternity is the love of the world. As soldiers of christ, we must not be entangled with the affairs of this world. So we must seek the help of the Holy spirit to help us not to love the world and the things in it. And in any way we have chosen to love the world subtly, the spirit of God brings this to light and helps us walk away from them.
The Lord is gearing our hearts towards the consciousness of eternity. This will in turn affect our decisions, passion and the things we hope for/give our attention to. As we pray, the word will come alive in us. We will be sober yet again and live bearing this at heart.
As growing christians, it is important we get to a point where our convictions about our faith and salvation is deep beyond doubts. We must come to the point of handling this reality. To the point of longing for that better place in God. Like the old, we must come to a place of preparedness and joy of being ready to meet with our Lord one on one. This is our cry in this episode. May we come to such a point.
Until the Lord becomes Lord over all things, we must make diligent efforts to seek Him for who He is. Like Mary, we must be intentional and move beyond the crowd to truly know the Lord.
When Jesus was asked about what the first commandment was, He said it is to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, strength and soul. Hence, our daily cry and decision should bring us into this reality. God has put His spirit in us to help us come into this. It is His greatest desire to have us His children, consumed whole heartedly by His love. I sincerely want to live daily in this reality, that my life will be all about the one who first loved me.
Understanding helps us to know God better and press into certain realties. In the episode, we trust the Lord to help us come into an understanding that will push us to know the things freely given in Him towards us.
Our authority in Christ as believers is to be implemented. But often times many of us don’t know when and how to use this authority. In this episode we are exercising the authority to break patterns that are not of God traceable in our families or environment. This patterns have caused us to live in fear and focus on the troubles that surrounds though we are christians. Today, we take this moment to engage the authority we have in Christ to address this patterns and live above them in victory. Take authority as you go by your day!🔥
When we pray in the spirit, it is unto our edification. We are changed from the inside out. Capacities are enlarged. Our ears are more in tune to hear the Lord and this guarantees our navigation. We are empowered to move towards the direction that He leads us to. Wherever you are, set your guard, lift up your voices and begin to pray in the spirit. Something is happening. Keep at it🔥
The new birth experience isn’t the end of our journey but a beginning to walk with God. Hence, we need to grow deeper daily and this determines the quality of life/decisions that we live/make. The holy spirit is in us to help us see God more clearly, love Him more dearly and follow Him more nearly. This He may not do forcefully if we stay passive and satisfied with just going to church on Sundays. We must cry out to Him as our helper, so as to be elevated from being babes. There is more brethren. As you pray this prayer sincerely, you will be amazed at the changes you will experience. He is willing to help, are you?
The spirit within us thoroughly does the work of pruning by fire. Most times, what keeps us retarded in our walk with God are things that are common to us; excess sleep, food, screen time, depression, laziness, distractions etc. These are chaffs and they restrict us from coming up hither in the Lord. In this episode, we trust the unquenchable fire of the spirit to burn up every chaff as we pray.
We depend upon the strength of the spirit to help our infirmities and release on us the fresh grace to pray because, man cannot engage in the ministry of prayer by his strength. This episode will stir fire in you as you fellowship in the might of the spirit. Listen and pray along as you go by your day. New possibilities will be birthed.
