The Word of the Lord

Friday 29 June
READ: Psalm 105:16-20
MORE LESSON: Jeremiah 23:29

The Word of God is very powerful. It is as powerful as God Himself because God's Word is God. Whether the written or the spoken Word of God, God's Word is stronger than anything in all of creation. By it the earth was created, (Gen. 1:1-3) and by the Word also, the earth and everything in it is being held together (Heb. 1:3).
King David the psalmist testifies to the power of the Word,
The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon…. The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness...The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests… Psa. 29:5 & 79.
God can break the cedars of Lebanon; He can divide the flames of fire, shake away any wilderness and discover any forest.
He does it by His voice/Word. May the Lord give you the revelation of the power of His Word because that is the power by which God rules the earth and commands the heavens. That was why Jeremiah declared,
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD: Jer. 22:29.
From today begin to address all your situations by the Word of the Lord. Find the suitable scriptures for your situation and begin to address that matter by what God's Word has said. Do it day and night. Do it persistently without being bothered about what the situation appears to be until by the power of the Word the situation changes.
The raw material for the whole of creation is God's Word and the only spare part that can fix any damaged part is that same Word of God. Speak the Word in private and public confession. Speak it in the company of friends, in the place of prayer and in the face of every challenge. Believe in it and never doubt it. Today, your earth must hear the Word of the Lord and obey. This therefore, is a wake up call on all believers to do more concerning knowing the Word. Knowledge of the Word precedes the application and confession of the Word. If we don't know the Word, we cannot use it. The Word must be in our mouth.
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: Rom. 10:8.

Prayer/Action
* Ask the voice of the Lord to prevail over all situations in your life.
* Pray that the power of the Word will manifest in your life.
* Pray that the Word of God will be like hammer in your mouth to break into pieces every negative matter that has persisted over time in your life.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I shall live to my old age like Abraham and the Lord shall bless me in all things. I shall be satisfied with long life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Taking God by His Word

Saturday 30 June
READ: Genesis 21:1-7
MORE LESSON: Isaiah 34:16

Sometimes, when you look at the promises of God, you wonder whether they are not too big to be real! Let us consider a few examples.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you: I Pet. 1:4.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also: Jn. 14:2-3.
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright: Prov. 21:18.
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins: Isa. 43:25.
These are indeed no small promises and there are truly a thousand and one others like these. But we can take God by His Word because, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Num. 23:19.
Friend, men are known for lying, but not God. Again, we have enough precedents that assure us that God will not fail, no matter how incredible the promise seems. One of such is the prophecy of the virgin birth in Isa. 7:14, … Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. In the days of Isaiah, many must have doubted it, yet today it is a reality. Moreover, Heb, 6:18 says, That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie. It is just impossible for God to lie so you can take God for whatever He says.
Finally, one of the reasons why men’s promises cannot be trusted is because they make promises that are bigger than them but this is not so with God. He can therefore not fail. What a faithful God He is. He visited Sarah as He had said and did to Sarah as He had spoken (Gen. 21:1). He promised to take Israel out of Egypt; although the promise lasted for 430 years, He did not forget to do it (Exo. 12:41). Isaiah said concerning the Word, ...thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth: Isa. 25:1.
In the same way, you will not be forgotten. God's faithfulness will extend to you today. Just keep holding on to whatever God has said concerning you. Don't lose focus; don't give up. The Lord will not fail you.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that God's Word will prove true in your life.
* Command all that oppose God’s promises in your life to give way in Jesus name.
* Take God’s promise to you back to Him in prayer and ask for its performance.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Jehovah You are faithful, I am a witness, You have rescued, delivered, strengthened, empowered, kept, sustained and helped me in these six months of 2018. Thank You Jesus forever.

God's Standard

Thursday 28 June
READ: 2 Timothy 2: 19 – 20
MORE LESSON: Acts 20:16-24

I met a woman in Accra, Ghana, who told me that she had lived in Kaduna, Nigeria, before. I became interested, being a resident of Kaduna state myself. So I asked her, 'What is your name?' She gave me a Christian name and then added, “But I didn’t go by that name in Kaduna”. I was intrigued and asked more questions. Then she told me that when she was in Kaduna, she assumed a Muslim name so that she could get job, appointment, government loans and other benefits. So everyone in Kaduna knew her with the assumed name but her real name was a Christian name. I asked her why she did that and she answered, 'Sir, you know we need to make ends meet and be able to put spirit and soul together'. She smiled as if what she was about to say was really funny and said, 'You know sir, it is only when one is alive that one can think about keeping the gospel running'.
The standards of God remain unchanged. If people compromise on righteousness, God never does and never will. A man that does wrong because he wants the body and the soul to stay alive, has just rendered the spirit dead. Sin kills the spirit and if the spirit is dead, what is the use of the body and the soul than for them to burn in hell? Survival or making ends meet is never a reason for anyone to go against righteousness. We are in perilous times when people throw away salvation to get job, scholarship, appointment and spouse.
God's standard and purpose are more important than success. It is better to stick to God and be denied than to compromise the standards of God and make headway in life. What is the use of making progress if the way leads to hell? God's purpose and assignment are more important than our life. So even if a man dies maintaining God's purpose and standard for his life, it is worth it. 2 Tim. 2:19 says that the foundation of God stands sure. This means that God's standard remains unchanged. God's standard is that anyone who will be His must stand for Him and depart from iniquity. God doesn't condone compromise of any kind, so let us know what we have believed and hold on to it lest we trade eternal life for the mundane things of this world. The Lord will help you to stay true to Him come what may, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Confess that you will not trade Jesus for silver or gold.
* Declare that you will not bow to any idol, money, position, or wealth but to Jesus only.
* Declare that you will rather live without a blessing that is not from God.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, standing on Job 22:27-28, any blessing meant for me since January 2018 that is being held down by any prince of Persia till now, I command them vomited now, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Cleansing Leprosy

Tuesday 26 June
READ: Mark 1: 39 – 45
MORE LESSON: 2 Kings 5: 1 - 15

One of the repeated miracles in the ministry of Jesus is the cleansing of lepers. As a matter of fact, when Jesus sent His disciples out in Matt. 10:8, He commissioned them, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Cleansing lepers is a very important issue to God. Naaman was an example of a leper cleansed by Jehovah in the Old Testament. The striking thing is that Naaman was a Gentile from Syria. There were many lepers in Israel but it was the Syrian that found healing; this was because he was the one that recognised and responded to the grace of God.
Naaman's maidservant preached the good news about the God of Israel to him and he travelled all the way from Syria. When he got to Israel, Elisha didn't come out to see him but rather sent word to him to go and bathe seven times in the muddy River Jordan. A few days before then Naaman was on the throne in Syria, then he was in the territory of an enemy nation begging for help. It seemed like an abomination to the Syrians who had conquered Israel to see their general go to Israel for help. Every abomination that causes shame in your life is over, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Anything that causes shame and makes a man beg his enemy for help is a form of leprosy. Sin, bad habit, sickness and poverty are forms of leprosy. God's desire is that leprosy doesn't stay on any man, Jew or Gentile, believer or unbeliever. However, there is a condition from the Lord for any man who wants to be cleansed of leprosy: he must, of his own volition, come to the Lord. As the Scripture says, ...and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out: John 6:37.
A leper came to Jesus and besought Him, ...If You are willing, You can make me clean. He knew Jesus had the power to heal him but he wasn't sure Jesus was willing to. Jesus was moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and said to him, ...I am willing; be cleansed: Mark 1:41 (NKJV). The Lord is always willing to remove anything that causes shame in your destiny. He is ever willing to cleanse sin, heal sickness and cleanse all forms of leprosy if you will come to Him. Naaman bathed seven times in the river as he was told. Seven is the number of perfection. So he needed complete obedience to have perfect restoration. If any man will come to take a bath in the river of the blood of Jesus, all forms of leprosy in his destiny will be washed away. There is power in the Blood.

Prayer/Action
* Ask for grace to obey God’s instructions even when they don't make sense to you.
* Ask the Lord to help you to be humble enough to accept God’s counsel.
* Ask the Lord to help you recognise your destiny helpers.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Oh earth, hear the word of the Lord, I am the face and model of God, God's latest mighty act, in the name of Jesus.

Breasting the Tape

Monday 25 June
READ: 1 Corinthians 9: 24 – 27
MORE LESSON: Hebrews 12: 1 – 4

In a race, it is not the first person to start that is awarded the prize but the first to finish well. This means that no matter how well a man starts, it is only when he finishes well that he gets a reward. There is usually a tape at the end of the race to spot the first to cross the finish line, who is then declared a winner. No sport puts the tape at the beginning of the race because success is not as much of starting strong as it is of finishing strong.
The Christian journey is an earthly race to the heavenly tape. Like all races, it is not those who start the race well that gets the heavenly reward but those who finish well. As recorded in Matt. 24: 13, it is the one who runs the race to the end that gets saved. In a race, if a person takes off well and is leading the race, but just a moment before the finish line he suffers an injury or allows a distraction and falls down while others cross the line, he will not be reckoned to come first. An athlete who has been leading all along till just one step before the finish line will not be awarded the medal based on his previous performance. It is the one who crosses the line that is rewarded. Thus, all the labour from the beginning of the race can be lost at the verge of the finish line if you allow someone to suddenly overtake you. The first can become the last in a race and the last can become the first. It is not over until the tape is breasted and the finish line crossed.
There is a prize for running a race but the prize is not for everyone who runs. It is reserved for those that breast the tape. Jesus also ran a race when He lived on the earth. The tape for Him was the Cross. When He offered His life on the Cross and rose up again, He received the reward of a name that is above all names and He sat at the highest position in all universe. In the Christian journey, you are running for a prize, therefore, run till you finish well. Do not allow any distraction or stumbling block to knock you off before you breast the tape. The tape is breasted when Jesus comes or when a man is translated from the earth into eternity by death.
Be devoted to the Lord to the very end. The Bible says, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him: 1 Cor. 2: 9. However, these things are not for starters but for finishers. So, don't give up on the race until you breast the tape.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that in the race of life, you will start strong and finish strong.
* Prophesy that you will not be distracted, you will finish well.
* Declare that as the Lord lives, you will not quit, you will breast the tape.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Every creation shall hear and testify of “the manifestation of the sons of God” in my life this year, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Reigning by Grace

Sunday 24 June
READ: 1 Kings 1: 5 – 39
MORE LESSON: Romans 5: 15 - 17

It is only through grace that a man can reign in life because by strength shall no man prevail (1 Sam. 2: 9). The opposite of grace is merit. It is either a man merits the throne of life through his works or he receives it through God's unmerited favour. It is only those who have decided to receive the throne through the grace that is in Jesus Christ that will reign in life. If you must qualify through works for everything you get in life, you will never get by in life and eternity. We must put our faith in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and reign through Him.
Even in the Old Testament, the throne was by grace and not by works. This is perfectly portrayed by the story of Solomon. He was born by Bathsheba, the woman about who there was a lot of wrong doing and controversy surrounding her becoming David's wife. There were many other 'more legitimate' sons of David who deserved the throne more than Solomon did. Solomon was young, inexperienced and born through the back door' into the family of David. Absalom, the handsome and charismatic son of David, had rebelled against his father and fought to reign as king but he didn't get it, rather, he lost his life. Adonijah was another of David's sons who tried to set himself as king. He connived with some bigwigs in the kingdom to be made king but he also didn't get it. Solomon didn't deserve the throne but King David set him as king to reign because of a covenant he had made that Solomon would reign after him.
Solomon was not qualified for the throne but he ended up on the throne; what is more, his reign surpassed all reigns before and after him in glory. Grace is the way to the throne. This is the reason Rom. 5: 17 says that those who have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ. Through the finished work of Christ on the cross, we have access to all that pertain to life and godliness. Salvation is by grace, healing and prosperity are obtained by favour. Dominion and reigning in life are accessed by grace. It is only through the work of grace that we can be sure of making Heaven. According to Heb. 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to break protocol and place you where your merit cannot.
* Ask the Lord to confound the devices of your enemy and cause you to reign by grace.
* Declare that by the grace of Jesus, you have access to all that pertain to life.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Good news angels, visit me this sixth month as you visited Elizabeth and Mary in the sixth month and end every delay and shame in my life as You did for them, in Jesus’ name.

The Man-Child

Wednesday 27 June
READ: Isaiah 66:7
MORE LESSON: Isaiah 66: 7 - 11

The Bible talks about the man-child in several places. There are a lot of meanings attached to a male child. First, it represents continuity of a family name. It also denotes strength and joy. The man-child is therefore anything you birth that brings joy, celebration and excitement. It is what gives you courage and strength and creates an assurance of a secure tomorrow. The man-child represents glory, fame and a worthy achievement. These meanings are not to affirm the superiority of the male child over the female. All children are from God, and can be used mightily in the hand of God and worthy of celebration, irrespective of gender. If God has blessed you with female children, then celebrate. They will fulfill destiny and make you proud. However, in the spiritual context, we use the man-child to represent a major achievement which is worthy of celebration. It is not limited to childbearing but includes feats of all kinds in all areas of life. In the name of Jesus, it is time for your man-child to be born.
Isaiah 66:7 says, Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Travail stands for the labour pangs a woman experiences when she is about to deliver a child. The intense pain and sorrow of the labour is always swallowed up by the joy of the child that is born. This shows that no matter how hard and painful the labour process is, there is always joy that something substantial came out of it. For every effort and labour you put in to any project, the Lord expects a joyful result to come out of it. You shall no longer labour in vain, in Jesus’ name. Something tangible and worthy of celebration shall come out of every effort you exert, in Jesus’ name.
In the text, God said that even though there is sorrow in labour, when the man-child is born, the joy swallows up the memory of the pain. This shows that there is something that the Lord can do in your life that will make you forget all the pain and hardship of yesterday. Your joy will be born today, in Jesus’ name. The Lord says in Isa. 66: 9, Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. This shows that barrenness, miscarriage and abortion of all kinds are not from the Lord. In the name of Jesus, every area where you have suffered barrenness and miscarriage, whether in your vision and dreams, in productivity and finance, in your spiritual life or in giving birth to a biological child, the power of the Word of God break that siege. Go and bring forth your man-child, spiritual and physical.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that the due season to birth your man-child is now.
* Ask for strength to bring forth your man-child.
* Declare that you will not labour/travail in vain, you will bring forth.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I am not a dumping ground for demonic activities; Holy Ghost fire burn them to ashes in my life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

A New Name in Glory

Saturday 23 June
READ: Rev. 2:17
MORE LESSON: Rev. 20:10-15

It is obvious that in many cultures, names are not ordinary. Some do not like the names they bear, but like Jabez, you can ask God to change your name. Why do we desire a new name? It is amazing how in newspapers some people change all their names without any explanation. For some, you can guess that the change is due to marriage/divorce, conversion from one faith to another, or just mere conviction that the name no longer suits them. While these changes may be sincere and true, they do not free one from the liabilities or encumbrances of previous names.
In the Bible, some people changed their names. Examples include: Abram to
Abraham (Gen. 17:5-10), Sarai to Sarah (Gen. 17:15-16), Jacob to Israel (Gen. 32:28-32) and Saul to Paul (Acts. 13:9- 12). Each of these instances signified a turning point and an establishment of a new covenant relationship between God and the bearers of the names. No wonder when a person gets born again, he becomes a new creature (II Cor. 5:17; Rev. 3:20, 21:17), old things are passed away (Psa. 103:12). God becomes your Father by a relationship with Christ who paid the price for our redemption by His sacrificial death on the cross. He is our repudiation for adoption into sonship and a relationship with His Holy Spirit; God seals us as His property. We become God's stewards for every good work. He writes our new names in the Lamb's Book of life,
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it Rev. 2:17.
Do you have a new name in glory before the Father? Whatever name you bear on the earth (negative or positive, good or bad) must end here one day. There is only one place where the enlisting of your name is most important, and that is in the Lamb's Book of life. The qualification for this new name is cleansing and forgiveness by the Blood of Jesus. This is made possible by personally acknowledging your sins, asking God for forgiveness and accepting Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of your life. Let me remind you that no matter who you are and what you have done, God loves you and wants to give you a new name written in the Lamb's Book of life.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you will not miss a new name in glory.
* Pray that everyone in your family, whose name may not be in the Lamb's Book of Life, will find mercy and grace before it is be late.
* Pray that God will change your old name to a new name in glory.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I refuse to labour in vain or bring forth for trouble, in the glorious name of Jesus.

Who is Hurt?

Friday 22 June
READ: Exodus 9:22-35
MORE LESSON: 2 Kings 5:20-27

There is a saying that a man's deceptive practice reaches its peak the day he succeeds in deceiving himself. In our text, Pharaoh played hide and seek with Jehovah. When he hardened his heart against releasing the Israelites and a plague stroke, he quickly soft-pedalled and invited Moses for a talk. As soon as the plague ceased, he went tough again. Who was hurt in the long run? It is sad that some people play with their life as Pharaoh did, thinking they are smart. They don’t pray or go to church, or do what is right and holy until they have a problem. Then, they suddenly remember God; and run to men of God for prayer and observe other religious rites. But as soon a solution to their problem comes, their spiritual commitment stops. They will give a thousand and one excuses why they are not able to meet up with their spiritual commitment. When they have a problem, they put those excuses aside and seek for help from God, and the cycle continues. Such people seek to use God to meet their needs but never allow God to use them to meet His needs.
Pharaoh did not prosper in his hide and seek game with Moses. Although he knew very well the powers of the gods, he chose to play on the God of Moses. At first, he was seemingly successful in playing on the intelligence of Moses' God to the admiration of his people. But Pharaoh lost everything at the end, including his firstborn. If he were straight in his dealings with Moses and God, he would have spared himself the unwarranted losses.
I counsel you to love and serve the Lord with all your heart, might, soul and all your strength. Those who do so are always honoured by God. He will deliver them from their enemies, and in the days of famine He will keep them from destruction. Stop the deception now and seek after God with all your heart. Learn from Cain who offered an unacceptable offering, became jealous of his brother, and even when God warned him about falling into sin, he didn’t listen. He bluffed God even after killing his brother; and when God pronounced judgement on him, he protested that the judgment was too harsh. Why wait for your house to be on fire before calling for help when you have the opportunity to stop someone from putting the fire on your roof? Even if men come to your aid to put off the fire, you would have lost your roof top. Be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord (Rom.12:11).

Prayer/Action
* Receive grace to follow the Lord in all seasons, in Jesus name.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to pour upon your heart the love of God to do His will.
* Pray that God will not use judgment or enemies voice to communicate His mind to you.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I connect with the grace and favour upon Daniel and I receive the Spirit of excellence to excel above my equals, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Perfect Love

Thursday 21 June
READ: Romans 5:5-8
MORE LESSON: John. 3:16

I am looking forward to the day and time when Christians, including me will love others with Jesus' type of love. This is the cry of my heart that I will love all people exactly the way Jesus loves me. I believe that therein lies the solution the world is looking for. The Bible says, ...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us: Rom. 5:8. That is the difference between the love of man and that of God. God loves us even with our flaws. He does not wait for us to be perfect before loving us; rather, He invites us just as we are and perfects us on arrival.
It is very difficult to find someone who can see your flaws and your immaturity and still love you in spite of all. Someone once said, If the only way you can love me is after I have perfected my imperfections, then you really don't love me. Indeed, it is good to ask ourselves, How many of us really love people for who they are and not for what we can have from them? Love is perfect when it is expressed without conditions. Paul gives us the characteristics of perfect love in I Cor. 13:4-7;
…Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Each of these traits of love will solve any problem anywhere in the world. Anything in the name of love less than this is fake and will only create more problems than solve them.
Let me say it again, God loved you while you were unlovable so you would never have to hide in the bushes again like Adam. He has loved you with an everlasting love and you must also love someone the way you have been loved. In marriage, we must love our spouses whatever they are. Once you have said, “I do”, you must always “do” without reservation. Among the brethren, we must endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3).
As a way of life, we must love strong enough to warn friends, family members and neighbours about the danger of hell and tell them of the unconditional love of God for all mankind. Above all, perfect love must be honest and transparent enough to say, This is who I am, and it is all that I am; love me and be patient with me. There is no telling what I will become, but today this is who I am. I love you!

Prayer/Action
* Ask for the mind of Christ in order to walk in perfect love for others.
* Pray that in our homes and assemblies, the love of Christ will reign supreme.
* Break the force of offence, bitterness and hatred over your life, and receive the right heart to walk in love.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: My Father, as You have promised in Your Word, increase my strength, my capacity and ability, end every limitation and weakness in my destiny, in the mighty name of Jesus.

The Holy Oil

Wednesday 20 June
READ: Psalm 89:20
MORE LESSON: 1 John 4:1-4

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa. 89:20. This was God Almighty Himself speaking concerning David. It implies that there are oils that are not holy; if there is a genuine one, there is also a counterfeit. Everywhere you see a counterfeit there is a genuine somewhere and if God is talking about holy oil it means then that there is fake oil. If you use a fake thing, you get a fake result and if you use fake oil, you get fake anointing. If you are anointed with holy oil, you get holy result. When men exhibit fake anointing it is very clear; you will see the struggle and limitations; they don't go far. There are people who ‘wash their face’ today to be able to give the Word of knowledge and Word of wisdom. This means they go to herbalists to collect charms to ‘wash face’. When they consult for people, they tell them what will happen tomorrow, that is, in future and this makes people think they are true but they are fake.
The reason why fake prophets are taking over the cities and going to media houses to give prophecies, while political leaders also run after them to ask about their tomorrow, is because genuine people have refused to take their place. This has given room to the counterfeit and they are taking the centre stage. The handwriting of the enemy will be erased if the children of the Most High God will take their rightful place. The fake will continue to thrive until the original appears.
A good knowledge of the original helps you to easily identify the fake. Someone once said that you do not discover fake naira or dollar notes by studying so many counterfeits. All you need is to know what the original looks like and you can identify the counterfeits. This is why Peter admonishes us to test all spirits. But how can you test spirits without a good knowledge of the Word of God? You must therefore,
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth: 2 Tim. 2:15.
A good knowledge and application of the original will eliminate the fake. You are the light of the world; therefore, arise and shine so as to deliver the world from darkness.

Prayer/Action
* Lord, pour Your Holy oil afresh upon me, in Jesus’ name.
* Pray that you will not fall victim of counterfeit anointing.
* Pray for your pastors that the oil of God upon their lives will not run dry.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I terminate the season of ashes on my prayer altar and I renew strength for battle, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Wasted Destiny

Tuesday 19 June
READ: Daniel 1:1-2
MORE LESSON: Malachi 1:1-2, 6-8

Nebuchadnezzar was one of the kings of Babylon, he was such a powerful king in those days. When the children of God sinned against Him, He allowed them to be captured by Nebuchadnezzar, who was favoured of God. He was a man that was full of abundance; and he was put on the throne by God even though he was a terrible man. The Almighty endowed him without limit; he was a man of power and influence. Though he hated God, God still kept His children under him. He was a man that broke all the laws and privileges of God. He contradicted all the laws of the Almighty yet, the heaven still gave him a long rope. In fact, he was a man so privileged by the Almighty that saints could be put under him. He enjoyed the cover of saints and thought he was under his own cover. He was flattered to think all was well when everything was wrong and had no knowledge or respect for God. Despite all the shortcomings of Nebuchadnezzar, God still endowed him with all the wealth, influence and affluence you can imagine.
One day, Nebuchadnezzar rose up to create a parallel kingdom with the Almighty. He was a man who had an opportunity but abused it. He experienced what an ordinary man should not see because he disrespected the opportunity given him; and God sent him off into the wilderness. When you examine the life of Nebuchadnezzar, you realise that he was a man endowed with the privilege to prevail but he failed. That was not because God didn't like him but because he did not appreciate the place of opportunity. His life became an epitome of a wasted destiny because he allowed pride to enter him. He built an image and made a proclamation that whoever would not bow down to it would die. He exalted himself above God.
A lot of times today men tend to exalt themself above God. Wastage is the end of the proud; no matter how small, destruction is the end of the proud. Run from pride, and give God glory for all He has given you; never forget that all we are and all we have belong to the Almighty God. No man can become anything without God, the Creator and it is in returning the glory to Him that we are kept, sustained and established. If we abuse and misuse our God-given opportunity like Nebuchadnezzar, to think that our own hands have given us all we have, we would lose it to the waster.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you will not abuse your God-given privileges.
* Pray that you will not live a wasted life due to abuse of opportunity.
* Make a commitment to God that you will not live your life without Him.

I Will Make You II

Monday 18 June
READ: Matthew 4:18-20
MORE LESSON: Genesis 17:12-37

Yesterday, we looked at the fact that God uses difficult situations to make us better people. However, this is not to say that God purposely afflicts us so as to teach us a lesson, but he can permit it, like in the case of Job. Nonetheless, because the devil is always going about like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, when he fires any of his fiery darts at us or afflicts us, God takes advantage of the situation to teach us certain things. This is why the Bible says,
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose: Rom 8:28.
The devil intends it for evil, but God turns the situation to our good and uses it to promote us.
Joseph faced a similar situation. When he told his brother his dreams, they hated him for it and sold him into slavery. It looked like his dreams would never come to pass. The future looked bleak and probably, Joseph also would have thought that was the end. But in all these, God was just using all the situations he was passing through to build and groom him for what He would have him do. If Joseph was not faithful in managing Portipha's house, how could he have managed the economy of an entire nation. If he hadn't learnt how to manage people under pressure in the prison, how could he have been able to manage the crowd that kept coming to buy food in Egypt? If he had not purposed to resist sleeping with Potiphar's wife, how would he have resisted other temptations he faced later in life as a prime minister. This is why Joseph told his brothers; But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Gen 50:20.
So you must see God turning that situation around for your good and learn all the lessons you need to learn because tough times don't last but tough people do. Today's test is tomorrow's testimony, so keep hope alive, keep trusting God's Word; pray and give thanks. If you do, soon like the test of Abraham in the sacrifice of Isaac, you will hear God say, …for now I know that thou fearest God…: Gen. 22:12; That in blessing I will bless thee…: v17. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord: 1 Cor. 15:58.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that all things will work out for your good in life and destiny.
* Receive grace to overcome every temptation and trial that comes your way.
* Declare that your dream of greatness will see the light of fulfillment.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, today, I receive a multiplication of my fire power, no enemy will dare me anymore, in the name of Jesus.

I Will Make You I

Sunday 17 June
READ: Malachi 3:2-4
MORE LESSON: Romans 5:3-5

Sometimes ago, one of my daughters in church was misbehaving and the mother came to report her to me. I prayed and even placed her on days of fasting but all efforts to stop her proved abortive as she still continued in the act. So one day I called her, and I told her that the Bible says that foolishness abounds in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him (Prov. 22:15). Then I gave her a few strokes of the cane and from that day she never again repeated that thing (but looking back maybe I would have done the correction differently). She's now married to a pastor and recently she brought her child to me. I looked at both of them and I asked the child; “How will you assess this woman?” He said, “She is the best woman on earth”. Something made her the best woman on the earth; fasting, prayer, and cane. She said; ”Daddy this is my child”. I told her that was what we were disciplining her for, and that good day would not have become a reality if we didn't correct her. What we did yesterday has made her a better person today.
The point is this; the making process is never a palatable one. It involves pain, hardship and many other unpleasant experiences. But all these happen so as to reveal the excellence of what is being made. Everyone likes gold and wants to own golden articles. In fact, some people will do unimaginable things only to ensure that they own it. Gold is however refined by very hot fire; the fire needs to be hot enough to burn off the dross and reveal the beauty of the gold. Assuming the gold has a choice and it decides not to go through the flames, would it still portray the same radiance? Of course not. In the same way, God makes us go through very difficult and unpleasant situations. I tell God all the time; “Whatsoever You want to do with me to make me what You want me to be, Father, go ahead. Don't look at my complaints, God; just help me reach the prize”.
As we pray this type of prayer, accepting whatever God will want to do, we must also remember that we also still have a role to play in God making us. Certain things God wants to do for us include helping us to live a disciplined life, watch over our relationships, walk in a spiritual positive environment and being willing to accept God's orders and ordinance. He who helped others ahead of us will help to make us.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God for grace to go through the process to your greatness, in Jesus’ name.
* Pray that as clay in the potter’s hand, God will mould you for His glory and beauty.
* Ask God to make you an instrument of blessing to the lives of others around you.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Faithful God of my fathers, I shall be faithful to You to the end. Strengthen my hands, in the mighty name of Jesus.

You are Different

Friday 15 June
READ: I Peter 2:9-10
MORE LESSON: Exodus 8:20-24

There is a popular story about an eaglet that was hatched and grew up in the midst of some chicks. As long as the eaglet did not know the difference between itself and the chicks, it kept walking, hopping, and flying low and over a short distance. But the day the eaglet looked up and saw an eagle just like it flying and soaring high, it took off from the ground and went up high in the sky.
Many Christians do not know that they are unique, peculiar, and special people. I Pet. 2:9 says: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a 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. Once you give your life to Jesus, you are different from the common man walking on the street. God re-created you in Christ Jesus so that even when men around you are falling, you should stand tall and be a shining light to them. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee... Isaiah 60:1-3.
Exodus 1:15-19 unveils how unique God's people are. The midwives testified before Pharaoh: that the Hebrew women unlike the Egyptian women are lively, and delivered before the midwives come in unto them. Beloved, you are different from unbelievers. Allow this truth to sink into you and rule your day. The diseases and afflictions that overtake unbelievers cannot prevail over you because God has promised to keep such diseases away from you and to place them on your enemies (Deut.7:14-15). God has promised to preserve you when you go out and when you come in (Ps.121:8). Angels are all over you (Ps.34:7) and they have instructions to watch over you (Ps.91:12). So you cannot be involved in an accident.
A thousand devils cannot touch your life, you need not fear to travel anywhere, any time. God said, because you have set your love upon Him, He will deliver you: He will set you on high because you have known His name. You shall call upon Him, and He will answer you. He will be with you in trouble. He will deliver you, and honour you. With long life will He satisfy you, and show you His salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16). You must be so special to God for Him to make such sweet promises to you. As you begin your day, walk in the consciousness that you are different from everyone you meet on the street. This is because of Jesus in you; you are very special, and belong to the royal family of the great King.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that God's grace in your life will make the difference in your endeavours.
* Declare that you will be exempted from evil.
* Pray that Jesus in your life will make a difference among your peers.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: I shut the door of affliction permanently in my life, I decree a new season, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Forgive and Rise Again

Saturday 16 June
READ: Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75
MORE LESSON: Acts 1:15-23

Peter was an influential figure in Jesus' team. When Jesus predicted His suffering and death, Peter boasted and vowed that he was going to die with Jesus. However, all it took was a little damsel to question him; he swore and denied ever knowing Jesus. He fulfilled what Jesus had prophesied: Before the cock crows thou shalt deny me thrice . . .and he went out and wept bitterly: Matt 26: 75. However, he did what needed to be done: he wept bitterly in repentance. After crying, Peter forgave himself and continued with God; and later in the book of Acts we saw the same Peter become a great preacher.
Peter was not the only one who missed it during the trial and suffering of Jesus. Another person was Judas Iscariot who led soldiers to arrest Jesus. He sold Jesus for thirty shekels of silver; he allowed Satan to rule him from within. A theologian suggested that maybe Judas thought that after betraying Jesus into the hands of His enemies, Jesus would be too powerful to be arrested, and thereafter, he would have made away with the money without any guilty conscience. This still shows that Judas was ruled by the love of money. However, he must have been disappointed when Jesus allowed Himself to be taken. Destiny had already determined for the Son of man to go as it is written concerning Him but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed (Matt 26: 24). After Jesus was crucified, Judas also repented: “I have sinned, I have betrayed the innocent blood” (Matt 27: 4). He refused to spend the money and went to buy a plot of land: …and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out: Acts 1: 18. He committed suicide.
It was Peter who stood up and selected a replacement for Judas: read Acts 1:15-20. Was Peter not also guilty? Yes, he was, but he accepted forgiveness; and rose again. What about Judas; would God have forgiven him? Yes, but he didn't accept the forgiveness; he killed himself. The difference between the two of them is that one forgave himself while the other one refused to forgive himself. When a man refuses to forgive himself in destiny, he is digging a grave for himself. Learn to forgive yourself so that you will not go the way of Judas. It's time to forgive and rise again. If you can just forgive the mistakes of yesterday and face tomorrow, there is hope for you. If your destiny is cut down, don't just sit down weeping; don't commit suicide. Begin the process of healing by first forgiving yourself like Peter did. That's what the Word of the Lord says-Forgive.

Prayer/Action
* Rebuke the forces of guilt and condemnation over your life.
* Receive the forgiveness that Christ has given you and declare your rising.
* Receive by faith courage and power to rise above your past, in Jesus name.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Today, I renew my commitment to the God who answers prayer; I shall never have to see another god, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Fool for Christ

Thursday 14 June
READ: Genesis 12: 1 – 4
MORE LESSON: 1 Corinthians 3: 18- 20

Abraham was seventy-five years when the Lord called him to leave his father's house. One may not easily understand the depth of sacrifice it took for a 75 year-old man to leave home and start a journey when his mates were enjoying retirement. The most astonishing thing about Abraham's journey is that people asked him where he was going as he set out of the house and the only answer he had was that he didn't know where. What Abraham did looked very foolish in the natural but he became great for it. Abraham was the seventy-five year old man who decided to be a ‘fool’ if that is what it takes to obey Jehovah. It is bad enough to be the 'fool at forty' as in the popular adage, but a fool at seventy-five is something else altogether. However, when we remember that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, we will gladly choose to be fools for Christ at any age.
When Abraham left home at seventy-five with Sarah, his wife, they had no child. They waited on the Lord for twenty-five years before they had the promised son. Then the Lord demanded for the son to be laid down on the altar of sacrifice, and he acted the ‘fool’ again as he obediently followed God even to the point of laying down ‘his only son’. It is difficult to imagine what he would have told his wife, son and servants as he packed and headed to the Mountain of Moriah to make the ultimate sacrifice. Abraham was 'foolish' enough to take Isaac to the mountain, and lay him down to be sacrificed. The Lord had to quickly call him to stop at the verge of making the sacrifice; it was a test of faith.
There are realms of power and grace that a man can never attain in God until he is willing to be a seen as a fool in order to please God. Obedience to God is never convenient and the instructions of God are not always sensible to the natural mind. We must choose to walk with God and obey Him whatever the cost so that He can showcase our lives as the masterpiece of His grace. If you choose to be a fool for the course of the Lord to flow freely, the Lord will come forth for you; your 'foolishness' will eventually come out as wisdom. Thereafter, you will have results beyond your human thinking, in Jesus name.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to make His wisdom and power known in your life as you act in obedience to divine instructions.
* Pray that you will be sensitive to divine instruction as it comes to you.

There Shall Be No Loss

Wednesday 13 June
READ: Acts 17: 13 – 22
MORE LESSON: Psalm 121: 1 - 8

Paul was with some people who had taken him prisoner and were leading him to Rome. Then arose a real pandemonium of a storm on the Great Sea that overwhelmed the ship and almost sank it. It got so bad that the sailors threw their belongings into the sea so as to lighten up the ship and keep it afloat. The storm lasted for 14 days and no one ate any food nor saw the sun for days. It was in the midst of this apparent hopelessness that the Word of the Lord came forth, …Fear not…God hath given thee all them that sail with thee: Acts 27: 24. This means that there would be no loss or harm to Paul and, because of him God had also decided to secure the soul of everyone in that ship. Be it known to you as well that however gloomy the situation around you looks, there shall be no loss. Peradventure, the ship of your destiny is threatened and you are faced with a raging storm, there is good news for you: there shall be no loss.
It was the presence of Paul in the ship that provided a covenant of security for everyone else in the ship. Even though they had only a temporary association with Paul just for the duration of the journey, that association gave a cover over every one in that ship. This means that whenever you travel by road, air or sea, everyone in that vehicle automatically becomes preserved because of you. It also means that everyone living in the same environment with you begins to enjoy peace and safety because you are there. The cover of God's grace on your life through the Blood of Jesus is over you, everyone and everything around your vicinity. Indeed, you will not suffer any loss and there shall be no loss to anyone around you.
The word, ‘there shall be no loss’ is also applicable in your relationship to the Church. The cover of God over His Church extends to you as you wholeheartedly associate with the house of God. There shall be no loss of any one who sails in the ship which is the Church. This is why one of the strategies of the enemy when he wants to destroy people is to isolate and estrange them from the Church. Please, do not trade the cover of grace over your life for anything. Come with us for the Lord has written good concerning us. And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel: Num. 10:29. As you stay glued to God and to His grace, you will never know loss, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that the cover of the Lord shall be upon you and your household.
* Declare that there shall be no loss in your year.
* Declare that God’s covenant of preservation shall be upon you.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, I decree an opening for me in the palace of my fulfillment this month and it shall not be shut, in the name of Jesus.

Overruling a Season

Tuesday 12 June
READ: Daniel 2:21
MORE LESSON: Job 22: 27-29

As a child of God, you must know how to get events, times and seasons to align with God's will and purpose for your life. A part of the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples is Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven: Matt 6:10. So when God's will is not being done in a season of your life, what to do is to overrule that season. I want to let you know that there is no season that you cannot overrule. If hard times, difficulties and bad seasons come your way, you can overrule them. Don't allow seasons to rule you, rather you overrule them. Every man, even the righteous, may go through an unfavourable season one time; so it is not the fact that you are in a challenging time that is the problem. The problem comes when you allow that difficult time to prevail over you. You are to prevail over bad season by overruling it.
Let us look at some principles of overruling a season from the Bible, Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities' be overpast: Psa. 57:1. David was a man who experienced many adverse seasons that needed to be overruled. From this scripture, we see a secret that he knew, . . . until these calamities be over past. David said this calamity would pass, and it did. Even in the midst of calamity, David had the hope and expectation that the situation would change. The first thing to do to overrule your bad season is to be convinced of the possibility of change. You have to believe that a bad season is not a permanent state. Unfavourable seasons are not to be accepted.
. . . For my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge. This is the expression of faith and trust in God. Many are not able to overrule their negative season because they do not stand in faith but rather panic in fear. Only the still can still the storm. Faith and fear don't work together. Unfavourable seasons are not to be feared and panicked over. Faith is the victory that you need.
Finally, 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: Mark 11:23. You overrule by the words of your mouth. Seasons change as you declare words that are empowered by the Holy Ghost.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that times and seasons will work together for your good.
* Command that every evil cloud over your life to clear.
* Command your wonderful season to come to pass.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: In the name of Jesus, I decree a seven-fold restoration of whatever I have lost this year, in the name of Jesus.

Uproot It

Monday 11 June
READ: Matthew 13:24-30
MORE LESSON: I Samuel 17:40-50

Jesus said that there are things which are done by the enemy and there are those done by God. There is nothing on the face of the earth that happens by accident; somebody or something is responsible. Even trees don't grow on their own; someone dropped the seed that eventually grew into the mature tree. Somehow, something is still responsible; no plant is responsible for planting itself. This is the reason why when things go wrong, we must not keep quiet about them or think they happened because they were bound to happen. You must understand that as God's thoughts for you are of good, the devil also has evil plans against your life. It is now left for you to discern who is responsible for what is happening to you and address it accordingly.
Jesus said, ...Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up: Matt 15:13. There are trees in your life which the Father did not plant, whether you are a believer or not; and Jesus said they should be uprooted. Enough of theology to find out why they were planted; uproot them instead of just sitting down and talking. In those days when we conducted deliverance, we would sit and talk to demons; asking, ‘What is your name? Where do you come from?’ You don't need all that, just cast out the demon.
You've had a lot of analysis this year already. Only two questions need your analysis now: Is this situation planted by God? What does God say concerning this situation? Then when you find out the answers, take action. When you are confronted with a situation, ask yourself, “Is this barrenness from the Lord? Is this failure from the Lord? Is this financial crisis from the Lord?” Of course the Lord cannot allow it, so find out what the Lord has said concerning it. For instance, you could be a man who has no respect for giving to the Lord; you don't pay tithe, and you don't pay first fruit. You can argue about first fruit on monthly salary, but you sure can't argue with the devourer. Concerning your finance, God says; Give, and it shall be given unto you...: Luke 6:38. Also, Malachi 3:10 says, Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house....
When you have found out what God has said concerning your situation then you must take action; uproot the wrong plantings. Some can be uprooted by speaking the authoritative Word of God, some by joining hands in cooperate prayers, and others by correcting wrong mentality and unrighteous living. Whatever the case is, uproot the trees that my Father has not planted using the name of Jesus.

Prayer/Action
* Uproot every tree that God has not planted in your life.
* Pray that by mercy every evil thing planted in your life because of sin and carelessness, be uprooted and burnt by fire.
* Declare that your land will begin to yield great harvest in place of the enemy’s planting.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: In the name of Jesus, I refuse the spirit of the tail, servitude, slavery and spiritual darkness.

Harden not your Heart

Sunday 10 June
READ: John 3:1-8
MORE LESSON: Ezekiel 18:20-28

I used to have a teacher who walked up to me one day; he knelt down and asked me to pray for him. When I saw his humility, I thought he had finally accepted Christ, so I started praying for him. Then the Holy Ghost asked me to stop so I ended up the prayer. Later God asked me, ‘Who were you praying for? Has he given his life to me?’ I told God I saw his humility and God told me to ask him if he was born again. The next day I did, and he said he had been going to and fro since the beginning of the year. I was dazed! He asked me to continue the prayer but I could not because the condition is that except a man be born again. He could be rich or poor; God is no respecter of persons when it comes to redemption. The soul that sins must die.
Israel committed sin, and God was not happy with them so he sent them to Babylon. When God's children go into error, He is good at correcting them. Wherever God finds His children doing wrong things He calls them to order, gives a warning, time for correction and a change of heart. I can say to you without fear of contradiction that He will not send any man to the lake of fire because he committed sin. God will rather allow men to go to the lake of fire because they rejected His persistent love and call for mercy. You will neither find nor hear a report that men cried in the lake of fire for lack of opportunity to repent; no such thing exists. No man will lack an opportunity to return to the Almighty; God will always give people the time to make amends.
Today could be an opportunity for you to make amends, but men always look forward to another opportunity which may never come. That is the foolishness of men and the deceit of the devil. You find a man who cannot predict what will happen to him in the next second busy procrastinating his decision for eternity. Where is the wisdom? It is one of the greatest evils that Satan can do to you. But men are always procrastinating and yet they have no ability to hold tomorrow in their hands. Right now is the moment. Today is the day to make it right with the Master of the universe; the one who has the power to destroy both body and soul in hell. O that today you will listen to His voice, and harden not your heart. When it comes to sin, God will never lower the standard; the final is, The soul that sinneth, it shall die…: Ezek 18:20. But then, the next verse says, But if the wicked will turn from all his sins … he shall surely live,…: v 21. The promise of God is still waiting for all men who will act before it is too late. Now is the time to turn to God in all humility.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you and your household will not miss the time of God’s mercy.
* Pray that the saving grace of God will be revealed to you and your household.
* Ask God to break every hardened heart so that they can submit to the salvation call.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: As Samson killed a thousand Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass, I receive might to destroy every enemy of my destiny, in the name of Jesus.

Redeemed by the Blood

Saturday 9 June
READ: Revelation 5:1-10
MORE LESSON: Hebrew 9:11-18

Today we enjoy the benefit of mercy, the cleansing of our sins and we receive the benefit of our names written in the Book of Life. This is all because someone paid the price. As a matter of fact it was not cheap; somebody took the pain, and the punishment that was meant for us and paid the price in full. That was why there was silence in Heaven when it was announced, “Who is worthy to break the seal and to open the seal thereof?” Everyone was scared to open the seal because an acceptance to open the seal was accepting to pay the price of whatsoever was written therein.
It was stated in the seal that Jesus was going to pay the price of His Blood; He opened the seal to redeem man by His Blood. All that we enjoy on the earth today was purchased when Jesus paid the price. If He did not pay that price, the earth would have been an unbearable place to live in but thank God for the precious Blood of Jesus that cleanses and delivers us. It is by the reason of that blood that we can walk in the presence of our enemies and not be afraid of anything. David said,
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: Psa. 23:4.
The reason we can walk tall in the presence of our enemies is because Jesus has redeemed us. The Blood has been shed for us, and our life is hidden in the Blood of the Lamb. So what the enemy sees is no longer us but the Blood of the Lamb in which we are enveloped. Paul said, “The life that I live now is not my own life; my life is hidden in Christ and Christ in God. I do not live for myself anymore; I do not live my own life anymore. I only live in Christ Jesus. So when you see me it's not me you see but Christ Jesus. You see the Master Himself because His Blood has cleansed me”. That was why Paul also said,
...let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus: Gal. 6:17.
When you bear the mark of the Son of God nothing troubles you anymore. The troubles, the pains, the afflictions, things that are ordinarily associated with men and are called struggles of life are over because you bear the mark of the Blood of the Son of God.

Prayer/Action
* Give God thanks for the price paid for your redemption.
* Pray that no one in your household will miss out of the finished work of redemption.
* Plead the Blood of Jesus over your life as you go out today.

The Voice of the Lord

Friday 8 June
READ: Genesis 3:1-19
MORE LESSON: Hebrews 3:12-15

As soon as man sinned, God came into the garden and He called him but there was no response. The way man used to run to welcome God into the garden was not the case anymore. Rather, he hid somewhere; he couldn't face God anymore. He was scared because he knew he had done something God told him not to do. So while still hiding, he answered and God asked why the man was hiding. Adam told God that he was hiding because he was naked. God knew immediately that man had eaten the fruit he asked him not to. When He inquired, the man told God that he was deceived by the woman, and the woman said she was deceived by the serpent. Thereafter, God released His punishment;
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake…: Gen. 3: 17-19.
It was the man that sinned but when God began to announce the punishment upon man, he started with the earth. The pain of the sin that man committed did not start on the man; it started upon the ground. God cursed the ground. Before then, man didn't have to do anything to get food; the ground was naturally blessed. All that he needed in order to survive on the face of the earth was provided. However, after man fell, God pronounced judgement in verse 18, Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. That meant the fertility of the earth was lost, and productivity of the good things that were supposed to come out of the ground was completely turned around. God said the earth would bring forth thorns and thistles; the earth was cursed for man's sake.
Anytime man stops obeying the voice of the Lord and begins to obey his voice or that of another man, he is creating problem for himself. Everything was working in perfect harmony until man declared his independence by choosing to listen to the voice of another creation. Then the whole of creation began to rebel against him. It is the voice of the Lord leading a man that makes all creation to be subject to him. Anytime you find yourself struggling concerning any situation, check it. It could be that you are no longer following the voice of the Lord but your voice or some other person's.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to have mercy on you where you have disobeyed to His voice.
* Ask for grace to always walk in obedience to the voice of the Lord.
* Declare that the voice of Lord shall rule over any other rebellious voice.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: He who kept me from January to June will keep me alive and well till the end and beyond, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Benefits of Forgiveness

Thursday 7 June
READ: I Samuel 24:1-22
MORE LESSON: Matthew 18:21-35

Forgiveness is a rare virtue and a word that is becoming very scarce in our world. There seems to be friction everywhere; parents not getting along with their children, and vice versa, employer against their employee, the list is endless. This has necessitated the need to learn the act of forgiveness because Luke 17:1 says, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! If this is true, then we must also make forgiveness a part of our everyday life so that we can easily deal with offences as they come.
Forgiveness is not easy. Sometimes in a bid to forgive, there is this temptation to pay back but we must always resist such temptations. For instance, when Saul pursued David in the wilderness, intending to kill him, David got close to Saul while the King was asleep. He cut a piece of Saul's robe but his heart smote him because of what he had done. And he said to his men, ...The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD. So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way: I Sam. 24:6-7. Like most of us today, David was also tempted to repay Saul for all the evil he had done to him but David was more conscious of pleasing God rather than having his way. If all we seek is to please God, then forgiveness will become very easy for us. Though not easy, forgiveness has tremendous benefits which pay off both in the immediate and in the long run.
Benefits that David derived from forgiving Saul:
1. Saul was humbled before David and he wept. You can break the proud wings of your enemy by choosing to forgive them.
2. David's goodness and act of kindness became obvious to Saul and he could not but acknowledge it…thou art more righteous than I, for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil: I Sam. 24:17.
3. Saul became subject to David; he eventually accepted David as the one chosen to replace him and begged him not to cut off his seed after him or destroy his name out of his father's house.
Forgiveness will always win, it will always prevail and conquer, just like in the story of Joseph; it is like stooping to win. Choose the path of forgiveness for it is the pathway of godliness.

Prayer/Action
* Ask for grace to be able to forgive at all times.
* Pray that you will not be an instrument of offence but of peace.
* Pray that as you forgive men today God will heal your heart and give you all the benefits of forgiveness.

When a Leader Sins II

Wednesday 6 June
READ: 1 Samuel 24:4-11
MORE LESSON: Romans 12:16-21

When a leader is being disciplined for the sin he has committed, he should take it in good faith rather than create enemies. God anointed David in Saul's stead and this made David become Saul's arch enemy. He started seeking every possible way to kill David. This didn't change anything; Saul only succeeded in making the matter worse. This is because fighting a man who God has chosen only means fighting God Himself. I have discovered that trying to cover one sin only leads to more, because you can only use sin to cover sin. Therefore, Saul was not just guilty of disobedience but he was also guilty of lying, hatred and suicide.
When a leader sins, it is in the place of his followers to forgive him, especially if they have been directly offended. In a bid to do this, most times there is the temptation to pay back but we must always resist such. For instance, when David met Saul, he moved and cut a piece of Saul's skirt but his heart smote him because of what he did. Like most of us today, David was also tempted to repay Saul for all the evil he did to him but David was more conscious of pleasing God rather than having his way. If all we seek is to please God, then forgiveness will become very easy for us.
Finally, when a leader sins, it is not given to the subordinates to discipline or ridicule him or even take vengeance. They must remember that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. David had opportunity to kill Saul but he refused to lay his hand against the Lord's anointed.
And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD. So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way: 1 Sam. 24:6-7.
Though the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, this didn't reduce David's respect for Saul. What loyalty! As subjects, we must remember that our leaders’ correction should come from God and we should not take laws into our hands when they offend us. We must resist the temptation to join unbelievers to ridicule God’s servants no matter what they could have done. Rather, we must pray for them and trust that the God who called them will help and lift them up.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that you will always be a source of strength and blessing to your leader.
* Pray that God’s mercy will raise up every fallen leader.
* Pray that God’s grace shall be sufficient for you as you lead.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: All spiritual embargoes and altars of impossibility, your tenure has ended, collapse now, in the name of Jesus.

When a Leader Sins I

Tuesday 5 June
READ: I Samuel 28:1- 20
MORE LESSON: I Timothy 2:1-4

Somebody once said that, the leader's sin, is a leading sin. Saul disobeyed God and the entire nation of Israel suffered t h e consequences. God sent Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites but he sparred the best of the animals and Agag the king,
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 1 Sam 15:18-19.
And the Spirit of the Lord departed not just from Saul but also from the land of Israel. This was evident in the fact that they were defeated when they went to war against the Philistines (1 Sam. 28:19). A leader must be very careful because the consequences of his sins do not just affect him alone but also on the people he is leading, and sometimes the consequences are even trans-generational.
When a leader sins, he should quickly ask God for pardon rather than try to justify his action. When Samuel the prophet rebuked Saul for not obeying the Lord, rather than confessing and seeking for pardon, Saul tried to justify himself and even shifted the blame to the people. And Saul said unto Samuel,
Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal: I Sam. 15:20-21.
The leader cannot blame the people for causing him to sin because he is the one that has the instruction of God. His subjects are meant to follow him.
So as leaders, we must resist the urge to shift blame to our subordinates when things go wrong. The sign of good leadership is to accept wrong when it happens; after all, no leader is born an angel. This way we become examples of righteousness; David was a wonderful example in this. When confronted by the prophet about his wrong doing with Beersheba, he declared, ‘I have sinned’. Then the prophet declared, ...The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die: 2 Sam. 12:13. Followers however should not take pleasure in seeking the fault of their leaders or accusing them. We owe God prayers and support for our leaders at all times.

Prayer/Action
* Pray that as our leaders lead the people they shall not fall into sin.
* Pray that the power of God will keep and preserve every leader in God’s will.
* Pray that no pressure or trail will overcome their faith.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: By fire, I break every chain of limitation and average life off my destiny this month, in the name of Jesus.

One Way

Monday 4 June
READ: John 14:1-6
MORE LESSON: John 10:7-10

In order to receive anything from God, there is only one way through which we can ask and receive, that way is Jesus. Jesus is the gateway to all the provisions in Heaven, where no one steals. So the only way that things go out of the City is by the door and Jesus declared, ...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me: Jn. 14:6 Anything you ask the Father through any other door apart from the Lord Jesus Christ and His name, you can't get it. With Jesus on your inside, your change, provision, breakthrough, answer, deliverance are guaranteed if only you can come through the Lord Jesus.
A man who does not have Jesus on his inside has no guarantee for life or success. The only way a man can have results is by accepting Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of his life. He becomes your advocate and intercessor before God and stands in the gap for you. He pleads on your behalf by the power of the Holy Spirit and He brings answers to you. I want to introduce Him to you because all that you desire on the earth are at your fingertips if only you will accept Him. That settles it. If you would go through the Lord Jesus Christ by acknowledging that you are a sinner, confessing your sins, forsaking them and asking Jesus for help, I guarantee all things are possible through Him who died for us.
A man that despises the name of Jesus despises the greatest miracle of his life, he despises ever getting answer from Heaven. A man that underestimates Jesus underestimates the greatest miracle of his life. But a man that says ‘yes’ to Heaven, confesses and forsakes his sin and goes to the Father through the Son in the name of
Jesus can be sure that answer will come. If it has not come, wait for it. There is answer, it is guaranteed, it is through the name of Jesus Christ.
With Jesus on board there is no need to fear anything. There is no where He enters that things will not change. Jesus entered the home of Lazarus and his sisters, Martha and Mary, after Lazarus had died and He met them weeping. But by the time Jesus left them they were in great jubilation, that's what His person can do. He changes negative to positive situations. His Word brings positive change. There is no need to be deceived by anyone; Jesus is the only route by which all provisions flow from Heaven to the earth. He is the only guarantee of all provisions. Find Jesus today, accept Him as your Lord and personal Saviour by acknowledging, confessing and forsaking your sins and you will command Heaven's attention when you call.

Prayer/Action
* Thank God for the way the Father was made known to you through Jesus Christ.
* Give God thanks because everything you have asked God through Jesus will come.
* Pray that through you someone will find the way today.

Prevailing over Pressure

Sunday 3 June
READ: Matthew 6:25-34
MORE LESSON: Isaiah 26:1-4

Man is naturally worried about many things and this puts him under pressure. There is pressure of what to eat, drink, wear, influence, and all manner of things. These pressures have the potential to make a man constantly remain in the state of worry as opposed to God's plan. In order to prevail over pressure, we will first understand what worry is and how to prevail over it.
Worry is preoccupation with things that may never happen. It has been discovered that 87% of things that people worry about never happen eventually, yet you could have killed yourself with worry. That's why Jesus said take no thought what you will wear, what you will eat, what you will drink, which are the major things that people worry about. It is a rehearsal for the future. When you sit and think, “I will get sick, I will be taken to the hospital….” That's a rehearsal for the future and it kills men. That rehearsal is what will kill you, not the trouble. Worry is the pain of the things you cannot change, and yet those things have not come. It is the pain of what has not happened. Worry is the fear of the unknown. When a man is worried he is afraid of something that has not come; he isn't afraid of what is there right now, he is afraid of what an issue may eventually become.
I have been told that one of the things that kills HIV/AIDS patients is not the virus but the fear and pressure. There is a God in Heaven who heals both wounds and bruises. Isa. 53:5 says …he was wounded… this talks about external pressures, the wound is outside. Then it says ...he was bruised… those are internal pains. If Jesus was both wounded and bruised, one outside and the other inside, it means that His life, death and blood has the solution for both external and internal ailments. So why worry?
I have found that happiness is a choice. You can be hungry and happy. It's a choice. And you have to make that choice yourself. You could be in pain and be positive. If you choose to be happy in pain, all you need to do is keep looking at the other side of your trouble. Someone can be in the same problem as yourself and look old suddenly because age is a matter of the mind. You can be old at 60 or at 20 depending on how you keep your mind free from worry and burden. When people feel bad and you say “Praise the Lord”, people will ask, “What is wrong with you?” Nothing is wrong, you are just prevailing over pressure from worry. You must learn to live above worry if you want to live long. Trust in the Lord, believe and saturate your mind with the Word, not the news. Only the Word of God keeps the mind stable.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that you are delivered from the fear of the unknown.
* Declare you are exempted from the evil of the day.
* Declare your position is joy, health, peace and celebration.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: This sixth month, he that digs a pit for me shall fall into it and he that rolls a stone, upon him shall it fall, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Don't be Ignorant

Saturday 2 June
READ: I Corinthians 12:1
MORE LESSON: Galatians 4:1-9

I heard the story of a woman who was travelling. She boarded an aircraft with her ticket. She took biscuits along, thinking she might need to eat on the journey. While on transit, the passengers were served food but the woman declined the offer. This repeated about two times and someone sitting beside her asked, “Madam, why are you not eating, aren't you hungry?” And the woman replied that she had no money. The man looked in surprise and asked if she had a flight ticket and she showed him her ticket. The man kindly explained to her that the ticket was a proof that she had paid for everything, including the food that was being served. She didn't need to pay extra to eat. At this point, they were almost at their destination, though she had a chance of eating once before the plane landed. May this not be your story when you meet Jesus, in Jesus’ name.
Many people are ignorant of things that legitimately belong to them by the reason of what Jesus has done. You have been bought with a price. Everything you will ever need has been fully paid for. There are other things that the Bible warns us not to be ignorant about. This is because ignorance is much more expensive than paying the price to gain knowledge. Speaking about knowledge the Bible says, Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding: Prov. 23:23. This means that both knowledge and ignorance come at a price but the price for ignorance is much more. It is always easier to pay the price to acquire knowledge than be left with the consequences of ignorance. Some of the things the Church cannot afford to be ignorant about are:
1. Spiritual gifts (I Cor. 12:1, 8-10): In order to run the Christian race successfully, God sent us the Holy Spirit and He works through us by giving us gifts that help us to be more effective in delivering our services. Some of these gifts are the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, the interpretation of tongues.
2. God's righteousness (Rom. 10:1-3): This is obtained by faith and not by works. Man does not become righteous before God by trying to please God with good deeds but by believing in Jesus Christ. This is why morality does not save any man.
3. Tribulations that one faces as one does the work of the Kingdom (II Cor. 1:8).
4. The devices of the devil (II Cor. 2:11).
5. Life after death (I Thess. 4:13-18).

Prayer/Action
* Receive grace not to allow ignorance to deny you of anything good in destiny.
* Ask God to grant you the full manifestation of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit.
* Ask God for a fresh knowledge of His Word.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, You, who remembered Hannah at a hopeless point, remember me this sixth month, in the name of Jesus.

The Guarantee

Friday 1 June
READ: Philippians 2:1-11
MORE LESSON: John 14:12-14

The name of Jesus is the guarantee that we can do and undo. What a wonderful assurance that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. Anywhere the name of Jesus is mentioned, answer comes. By the reason of this scripture we can boldly say that Jesus is the only guarantee a man has to expect a positive change in any area of life. Nothing is more certain than the name of Jesus – the Word of God.
What is it about Jesus that gives us a guarantee? His name is a guarantee, His Word gives us certainness. Peter and John passing by the beautiful gate met a lame man who looked up to them expecting money but Peter said, ...Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk: Acts 3:6-7. And the man stood up and began to walk. The disciples were as shocked as the man himself.
The blood of Jesus is a guarantee for cleansing. His blood cleanses and washes a sinner, it justifies him like he has never sinned. Guilt is taken away by the blood of Jesus, no matter how strong it may be. The Blood gives peace, cleanses, and removes stains. There is no stain it cannot remove, there is no sin it can't wash away. When a sinner faces God with the blood of Jesus over him, it is not his sin that is seen, he is seen as righteous as Jesus, pure and white. According to 1 John 1: 9, God is right and just, He will forgive us our trespasses and iniquities by the application of the blood of Jesus. 1 Jn. 2:1 says we have an Advocate with the Father – Jesus - who pleads for us if we sin. I present to you therefore, the only answer I am sure will never fail, the only person who has spoken and promised and His promises can never fail. His Word cannot be rejected, His name cannot be denounced, His person is in glory. I present Him to your situation and your life. Call upon the name whenever you have a problem and there will be a glorious change. The only person who can guarantee a change, who can speak change to human lives and situations and His words can never fail, I present Him to you for a glorious change. Believe Him, accept Him, trust in Him, He will change your life and turn it around. Jesus is the guarantee; if it is to Jesus expect an answer, if it is with Jesus expect an answer, if it is by Jesus expect an answer. He will never fail.

Prayer/Action
* Secure your going out today with the name of Jesus.
* Secure your home and relations with the blood of Jesus.
* Declare that the promises of God for you through His Word will come to pass.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, I rejoice for the gift of the sixth month, I decree it shall be for unbroken celebration, in the mighty name of Jesus.
