SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Joshua 5:9
9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
MORE LESSON: Psalm 137:1-9
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Memory Verse: And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. Joshua 5:9
The Israelites were in bondage for over 400 years in Egypt. They were the children of the covenant of Abraham, but adversities kept them below what God intended for them. They were living in reproach. Reproaches are things in your life that make you feel ashamed, doubt what God has promised you and make you less than what God has planned for you.
Until the reproaches of a people are taken away, they remain ashamed, enslaved and afflicted. That was what happened to the nation of Israel in the land of Egypt, where they were slaves. Until they were delivered from slavery and the reproaches that came with it, they could not enter their glorious inheritance. This is the reason God stretched out His hands to deliver them from slavery under Pharaoh. When they were about to enter Canaan, God told Joshua to circumcise the children of Israel, saying, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you: Josh 5:9.
In the same way, the Israelites were slaves; there are many living in the reproach of slavery today. Slavery is a condition of bondage that, even if you know it exists, you can't help yourself out of it. It could be physical slavery where your body is in a situation which you do not like but cannot rectify, or financial slavery when you are unable to pay your bills and resort to begging for food, clothes and shelter. Spiritual slavery is a life of sin, addiction, habits and demonic oppression which you can't help yourself out of. These are the reproaches that must be removed for your glory to manifest. To remove reproaches, you must speak against the forces that sponsor the shame. Prophesy against everything in your life that God has not said concerning you. You can also engage the forces of prayer to destroy every force of reproach over your life. I prophesy over you according to the Word of the Lord; this day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you in Jesus' name.
Prayer/Action
* Ask God to deliver you from every form of reproach and take you to your glorious inheritance.
* Ask God to deliver you from every form of spiritual slavery.
TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: God of heaven and the God of my life, thank You, is not enough for the gift of the ninth month; I am eternally grateful, in Jesus' wonderful name.
