Blessed of the Lord!

I affirm that I am a custodian of divine Life and there's divine Life in the atmosphere in which I live. Daily, I go out with joy and I am led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills are breaking forth before me in singing, and all the trees of the field are clapping their hands as I advance in life.

My portion (field) is blessed of the Lord! The lines are falling unto me in pleasant places and I have a goodly heritage.I am a joint heir with Christ and I am sufficient in His sufficiency.I make great and glorious things happen in my life, in God’s kingdom, and in the lives of others, to the glory of Jesus Christ.

I am up and alive unto God, fruitful and productive by the power of the Holy Ghost. I am complete in Christ; there’s nothing lacking in my life because Christ is my completeness! I am from above; therefore, I refuse to condescend to this earthly plane of life because as Jesus is, so am I in this world. Hallelujah!

The same way the rain waters the ground and in return the ground causes the plants to sprout and grow, to bring seeds for the farmer and food for people to eat; so shall my words go out to cause great harvest to take place on the earth. None of my words shall fall to the ground without results

Glory to God.

21 Days Of Prayer and Fasting

21 DAYS PRAYER AND FASTING FOR NIGERIA PRAYER POINTS FOR WEDNESDAY 7TH FEBRUARY 2018

1. Pray for the vision and message of our ministry to continue to prevail and gain access and acceptance in every nook and cranny of this nation, bringing hope to the peoples of Nigeria, and empowering them to arise and be a blessing to the nation, rather than looking to the government as their source. LUKE 8:40 – And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. ISAIAH 60:3- And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

2. Pray for our civil service across the nation, that bureaucracy and apathy be completely extinguished from all parastatals of government at all levels.
Pray for a change of attitude for our civil servants, that there would be new zeal, inspiration, and patriotism in their hearts to do their work with diligence and commitment , thereby contributing to nation-building. PROVERBS 18:9(TVC) – Those who slack off at work are no different from vandals. ECCLESIASTES 10:18(AMP) – Through indolence the rafters [of state affairs] decay and the roof sinks in, and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

3. Pray and declare a renewed commitment to infrastructural development across the country by government from the local councils to the federal level.
Declare that in this new day, because of our prayers, it is not business as usual, but available resources are applied wisely and judiciously to meet the most pressing needs, while the leaders explore innovative and viable avenues to generate more revenue to undertake further projects in order to create an environment and provide amenities that foster growth of the local economies and encourage investment and development. NEHEMIAH 2:17-18 - Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem liethwaste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach...And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for thisgood work.

4. Pray specifically against corruption in our nation, declaring a complete change in the mindsets and orientation of our leaders and populace in the direction of true patriotism and selfless love for our nation.
Pray for the anti-corruption agencies of state, that they would function without bias or partiality, diligently and conclusively prosecuting all who have soiled their hands with public resources.
Declare that all corrupt officers in these agencies are exposed and shamed, from the least to the greatest, and all those whom they have helped to escape justice are speedily apprehended. PSALM 64:5-7[TLB] – They encourage each other to do evil. They meet in secret to set their traps. “He will never notice them here,” they say. They keep a sharp lookout for opportunities of crime. They spend long hours with all their endless evil thoughts and plans. But God himself will shoot them down. Suddenly his arrow will pierce them.

5. Pray fervidly against violent attacks on churches and places of Christian worship in this country. Declare heightened activity of angels in and around all church auditoriums and Christian gatherings everywhere in this nation, beyond the physical security arrangements made, such that nothing and no one shall be able to cause hurt or harm to the saints by any means. We are not victims; the power of the Holy Spirit intervenes through us; the church is marching on, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. GENESIS 19:10(MSG) – But the two men (angels) reached out and pulled Lot inside the house, locking the door. 11. Then they struck blind the men who were trying to break down the door, both leaders and followers, leaving them groping in the dark.

6. We declare today that everyone in government who secretly or openly sponsors or promotes violence and hostility against Christians and the church is removed by the hand of God. Men of violence and all who hate the church will proceed no further in our nation. As God’s voice in this land, we declare their offices vacant; they are speedily removed and replaced by men of peace who favour the church and seek her good. As was the case with Haman, who hated the Jews without cause, so shall their end be, unless they repent and accept Jesus as Lord. ESTHER 3:6 – “...wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews...” ESTHER 7:8, 10 – As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Your Set Time for Progress and Advancement

“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great“ (Genesis 26:12-13).

As a child of God, you’ve been called to the upward and forward life. There are those who still say that life is full of ups and downs, but that’s not what the Word teaches. I’ve never known the down life; I’ve only journeyed in one direction, upward and forward only; and there’s no option to that. That’s the life to which you’ve been called; a life of progress and advancement. This month is your set time to move forward and make progress in life!

The Bible says Isaac waxed great, went forward, and grew until he became very great. In other words, he made progress and became successful in every area of his life. There was famine in the land of Gerar and Isaac’s friends and neighbours had journeyed away to Egypt where there was plenty of corn and wine. It made sense to go there since Egypt’s economy was the best in the world at the time. But as Isaac was about to head for Egypt, God spoke out of heaven instructing him to stay in Gerar, where there was famine, and sow in that same land.

Isaac obeyed, and his obedience paid off as he “got richer and richer by the day until he was very wealthy. He accumulated flocks and herds and many, many servants, so much so that the Philistines began to envy him (Genesis 26:13-14 MSG). Learn to listen to the Spirit of God for direction. Wherever He tells you to go is where you should go, and whatever He tells you to do is what you should do. Isaac became very great because he followed God’s instructions. It didn’t matter that there was famine in the land, his results turned out differently.

The set time for your advancement is now. It doesn’t matter how things may look around you; if you would let the Holy Spirit guide you in the affairs of your life, like Isaac, you’ll wax great, move forward and grow until you become very great! This month, your life will be a story of unending progress. This is the plan of God concerning you in this season of favour. Expect to make progress. See yourself taking giant strides and accomplishing supernatural feats this month, because the set time for your progress is now. Hallelujah

UNENDING JOY

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3 NIV)

            From the moment you were born again, you were brought into a life of unending joy.  The Bible says in Romans 14: 17, "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Joy is an emotion evoked by satisfaction, appreciation and pleasure.  God was joyful when He created the earth; He appreciated what He made and took pleasure in it (Genesis 1:31).

            The joy you have is not of this world, but of God; therefore it's independent of external circumstances. I Peter 1:8 describes it as "...joy unspeakable and full of glory." Everywhere Jesus went during His earthly walk, He brought joy to people, and He still does today.  The joy that comes from your inner man (your spirit) transcends physical circumstances; it's permanent, and it'll keep you strong and healthy.  The Bible says, "A merry heart doeth good like medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones" (Proverbs 17:22 KJV).

            Learn to be joyful and maintain a happy spirit always.  Joy is a fruit of the recreated human spirit (Galatians 5:22), so you can be joyful at all times.  Produce joy from your spirit by making melodies and singing new songs from your heart to the Lord.  The Lord delights to hear your joyful praise.  Nehemiah 8:10 says, "...for the joy of the LORD is your strength." God needs you to be joyful so you can transfer that same joy to your environment, for you can't make others joyful until you're full of joy yourself.

The Word Guarantees Your Success

This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success (Joshua 1:8 AMP).

True success is more than having a lot of money and a vast estate. Jesus said a man’s life doesn’t consist in the abundance of his possession (Luke 12:15). True success is the consistent and ever-increasing manifestation of the glory of God in your life. That’s why a Christian can be so successful, even though he’s in prison. Paul and Silas were in prison; they weren’t failures. Though they were in prison, they were successful. They manifested the glory of God, and lived triumphantly.

It makes no difference what your present situation is; you carry success in your spirit. The Word of God in you will take you from glory to glory! Absolute success is living in, and by, the Word; giving the Word first place in your life. If someone had a health challenge for example, and the first thing he thought of was “What drug can I take?” the Word isn’t first place in his life. If there’s a problem at work, and the first thing you think about is someone in a powerful position that can help you, that’s not giving the Word of God first place.

When you face challenges, go to the Word for guidance, counsel, and answers. First, be moved to pray. When you pray, even if you don’t know what the Scripture says about the situation you’re dealing with, the Word of God that’s stored up inside you will be stirred within you. The Spirit of God will bring to your remembrance His Word that’s in your spirit. He’ll stir it up within you. So, the Word is what you need; it guarantees your all-time success.

NOTHING CAN STOP YOU

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23).
Man, through human wisdom, has accomplished quite a lot. You may have seen roads created in places where there were massive rocks and hills, just because a man came up with the vision and had others who shared his vision. The moment he conceived in his mind to do it, there was no such thing as impossible. No wonder the Lord Jesus said all things are possible to him that believes. If mere men could do so much, you can imagine how much more God’s people could do through the Word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Your ability and potentials as a child of God are limitless. God can, and wants to do so much for you, and through you. There’s no such thing as too old, or too young, if the Word of God is in you. The Word is dateless. If you’d yield to the Holy Spirit, allowing His Word to dominate you, you could determine the extent of your success and nothing in this world can stop you. Just proclaim where you’re going and continue to use the Word to enlighten and enlarge your vision, and the Word will propel you to victory and success.

1 John 4:4 says greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world. When you keep the Word in you, it’ll prevail over circumstances. It doesn’t matter what’s in front of you; you could be facing political, financial and/or intellectual opposition; refuse to be daunted. Close your eyes and say, “In the Name of Jesus, I prevail over circumstances!” Say it every day and refuse to doubt.

Refuse to give up the visions and pictures of success the Word has created in your spirit, because they’re born of God and therefore will surely come to pass. The Bible says whatsoever is born of God, overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). Can you see why it’s impossible for you to fail? Nothing can stop you, because you’re born of God! Hallelujah!

Measuring Your Progress

But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20 AMP).

Progress means advancement; moving forward. Progress must be measurable, otherwise, it’s not progress. You must have goals; if you don’t have definite goals, you may not be able to really measure your progress.

In making progress there’re certain things you must consider. First, locate your present position in that area of your life in which you desire to make progress. Is it in your health, finances, job, business, or your family? Whatever it is, locate your present position. Secondly, envision what the next level will be for you.
Thirdly, determine what you must do to get to your next level. That means your input in terms of effort, time, and resources. Resources could refer to money, materials, information, etc. Fourthly and finally, take action; do what you need to do to get you the results you want. Otherwise, your visions, goals and aspirations will fail and come to nothing.

I’m sure you already have clear-cut goals for the year; stay focused on your goals. Every now and then, pray in the Holy Ghost about your goals; this is so important, because it’ll guarantee your progress in achieving them. Our opening verse says, “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit.”

This year, you’re going to make progress, and move forward in your life like never before, irrespective of what’s been happening with you or around you. It’s your time and season of advancement. And it’s my prayer that the Spirit of God will inspire and guide you to take the necessary actions that’ll cause you to have evident and unprecedented growth, increase, and prosperity in 2017, and beyond, in Jesus’ Name.

My life is like a well-watered garden. I’m fruitful and productive; making progress in every area of my life. I’m complete in Christ, and every facet of my life is perfected for excellence. The Spirit guides and inspires me to take actions that’ll guarantee evident, and unstoppable progress, increase and blessings for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Christ Is Alive In Me

I affirm that Christ is alive in me; His divine life is manifested in my spirit, soul and body and in every fiber of my being. He’s made me a champion and a victor forever! He is my life; in Him I live and move and have my being! He’s made me a wonder. Hallelujah. All things are mine! I lack nothing, because the Lord is my sufficiency; He makes me lie down in green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters! His divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. Hallelujah.

I refuse to be under the pressure, for the Lord is my salvation, and upon Him, I’ve cast all my cares, living the transcendent life, and enjoying peace with prosperity. My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. I am the seed of Abraham and therefore an heir according to the promise. I belong to the wealthiest and most sublime family there is, and I walk in blessings untold. I am empowered to prosper, and positioned to be fruitful and productive, glorifying God with my life, blessed be God. Hallelujah!

Keep saying it, don’t stop talking it! If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. You can now reach us on: 

Good Character – A Rewarding Asset!

Good character is the best insurance; crooks get trapped in their sinful lust (Proverbs 11: 6 MSG).

Imagine you got home one day and found one million dollars left at the corner of your house, and just the day before you had asked the Lord for money. But now, here you are, with a bag of one million dollars, probably abandoned by someone you don’t know. What would you do? I can imagine what a terrible difficulty some people may have, deciding what to do. “Do I take it and keep it, or do I alert the police? Do I hide it somewhere else?” These and some other thoughts may run through your mind.

Some won’t have any problem deciding what to do with it; they’d simply keep it. They may justify their action by saying ‘If God didn’t want me to have it, why then did He put it there?” Now, they’re holding God responsible.

It reminds me of my growing years. Back then, if you found something that didn’t belong to you, you took it to a repository called “Lost-and-found,” where it would be kept until the owner reclaimed it. It never crossed your mind to keep whatever you found that didn’t belong to you. It was part of your character. There were no questions as to whether or not to keep it; you knew exactly what to do! You either returned it or found some authority figure to give it to, who would do something about it.

So today, if you found a million dollars beside your house, the right thing to do is to get witnesses and take the money to the police. That’s good character. Now, having done that, don’t expect anyone to reward you, for nobody needs to reward you for character. It’s life itself that rewards good character, and when it does, it does it in a big way. So train yourself with good character, for it is a rewarding asset indeed

Wisdom: A Compelling Force!

Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding (Proverbs 4:7).

True wisdom is of the Spirit. It’s more than the mere application of knowledge as many often define it. There’re those who can theorize and astound you with the vastness of their knowledge, yet that doesn’t mean they’re wise.

Wisdom is a compelling force. It makes you do the things you should do, and say the things you should say excellently and at the right time. It causes you to function beyond your human reasoning. When a man lacks the wisdom of God, he’ll think the wrong thoughts, say the wrong words, do the wrong things, and make the wrong choices. But when divine wisdom works in you, you make accurate choices and judgments without having to reason them out first.

No wonder the Apostle Paul said, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Wisdom is that controlling power that works in us, not just to will but also to do the will of God. It’s the compelling force that causes you to walk with divine insight in God’s perfect will for your life.

Thanks be unto God, who has made divine wisdom available to you in Christ: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Thus, that compelling force to think, act, and function at a high level of excellence has been made available to you in Christ. Recognize and take advantage of it today.

Be Prosperous And Effective!

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian (Genesis 39:2).

Joseph was described as “a prosperous man” despite being a slave in Potiphar’s house. This shows that prosperity isn’t a function of your career or assignment, but a product of your spirit. In our opening verse, the word “prosperous” is translated from the Greek word “Tsalach,” which means to be prosperous and effective. Thus, not only was Joseph prosperous, he was also effective. Even though he had been sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, his ordeal didn’t taint the quality of his spirit. He recognized that the Lord was with him, and so exuded the spirit of a prosperous man.

The Bible says in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” This implies that the story of Joseph was written for our learning. So, can it be said of you that you’re prosperous and effective in the things that you do?

Today, the same Lord that was with Joseph is with you and lives in you in the Person of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). Talking about Him, Jesus said, “…he (the Holy Spirit) shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance…” (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit living in you will teach you how to be more effective in the things God has called you to do, if only you’d acknowledge His indwelling and abiding presence in your life.
