SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 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. 3 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.
MORE LESSON: Acts 27:22-25
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Memory Verse: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1
Your heart is the engine room of your life. If the heart is troubled, life can derail. That’s why Jesus said in today’s memory verse, LET NOT your heart be troubled.” It’s a command, and not a suggestion. Some of the many things that threaten to trouble the heart include:
• the unknown and uncertainty (Matthew 10:26);
• fear of the enemy (Matthew 10:28-30);
• the cares of life (Matthew 6:28 32);
• and a heart poisoned by unforgiveness (Colossians 3:13-14).
The truth is that whatever you don’t confront will continue to torment you. If you let fear, offence or anxiety to fester, they will choke peace and power out of your life.
So, the way forward is to do the following things:
i. Choose to rejoice in the Lord (John 16:33).
ii. Engage your faith; live, walk, and speak by faith (1 John 5:4; Romans 1:17; 2 Corinthians 5:7).
iii. Lean on the indwelling Christ; greater is He in you! (1 John 4:4).
iv. Let God’s peace rule.
v. Clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, patience, armour for your heart and testimony (Colossians 3:12-14).
This is not emotional survival; rather, it is spiritual dominion. Christ’s peace is not the absence of storms; it is the presence of His power in storms. Don’t just cry about the storm, command: “Peace, be still!” (Mark 4:39). You are not a victim; you are anointed to rise. Let not your heart be troubled— make your choice: rise in faith and rule your storm.
Prayer/Action
* Shut the door against every trouble targeting your heart.
* Receive the peace of God and command calmness over every storm in your life.
* Declare that your will not be troubled nor complain but walk in victory, by faith and not by fear.
TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Overturn, overturn; I overturn every evil plot loaded in my year today, in the powerful name of Jesus.
