God owns All

Thursday 25 June
READ: Gen.1:13-14
MORE LESSONS: John 3:27

The day we come to the full understanding that when we die we will take no money or material things with us to heaven, all the hatred, animosity and confrontations will dissolve. In verse 14 of our passage, God created the seasons. He created days, He also created years, thereby making the issue of calendar not the doing of any man after all. You are likely to be tempted to think that, calendars are just the creation of man to make for better orderliness and arrangements.
The issue of calendar is spiritual because it has a backing and an origin in the spirit. In other words, there is a dimension of spirit affair in calendar. Because God is Spirit, if He created something therefore, that thing has an origin in the spirit. That also tells us that calendars are not just spiritual; they are spiritual on the side of God, because something can be spiritual on the side of evil and it can be spiritual on the side of God. The kingdom of darkness has no hand in the issue of what is the root of calendar; the root of calendar is in God, God created it. There are different types of calendar, but the creation of days and years are the handy work of the Almighty God. We have the Gregorian, the Jewish and even the Islamic calendars that are man-made except for the Jewish calendar that has its origin in Exodus12:2. Because God is the one who created times and seasons, He also takes responsibilities for whatsoever happens inside them. What happens in the calendar is in God's hands because He created all and owns all. Things can't just happen anyhow to a Christian who has this understanding because he knows for sure that God created the days and the days are in His hands.
When you grab the understanding that God created the seasons and the seasons are in His hands, do not allow Satan to take over or determine what happens in your days, years and seasons because it has its root in your God. Your seasons cannot happen any how if you have the understanding that God is the owner of seasons. We have cold and hot seasons with each having peculiar challenges including health setbacks. However, if you have an understanding that seasons are owned by God and that whatever is of God is never negative but positive, then you can use that knowledge in the place of prayer and say, Father, you created seasons, there is no evil in You, this season shall not be evil for me.

Prayer/Action
* Pray for clearer understanding of the seasons of God for your life and destiny.
* Declare your days redeemed from every evil.
* Reject every form of negative season and begin to command good seasons upon your life.
* Command Satan to take his hands off your life and seasons.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
In the name of Jesus, I command every ministry of wickedness against my life to expire now!

Destiny Blockage

Wednesday 24 June
READ: Phil. 3:11-16
MORE LESSONS: Matt 6:25-34

You do not arrive at your destiny over night; it is a faith-filled life journey with the Holy Spirit. The journey is not all rosy because there are situations and events that will discourage you; however, don’t give up. I have discovered that certain qualities help to smoothen life journey but when a person lacks them, he is handicapped. The weaknesses of our forerunners are lessons for us today to help us to overcome.
One of these is being at ease. Jesus prophesied that Peter would be the rock (one of the builders) of the Church. A fine prophecy but Peter failed to pray even when Christ urged him to. He was at ease; no wonder he denied the Master. But the prayer of the Master went ahead of Peter and he was restored. Secondly, Peter lacked self-confidence; just a simple question from a maid and he compromised. Many believers compromise too often and settle for less than God's provision for them. If Joseph had compromised and yielded to Potiphar's wife, he would have been her favoured servant but without a godly destiny.
The third thing that threatened Peter's destiny was lack of consistency, thus he was rising and falling. It was Peter who received the revelation of Jesus the Son of God and Jesus the bread of life (Matt.16:16-18; Jn 6:68-69). Jesus acknowledged the spirituality of Peter’s declaration. But it was also Peter who chided Jesus when he spoke about His death on the cross and His resurrection. And shortly after Jesus resurrected and ascended to Heaven, Peter abandoned the assignment and went back to fishing. Inconsistency can hinder the fulfilment of your destiny. Stay with the Lord and be fulfilled in life. Tell Him you are feeble and a sinner outside of Him. Ask for help and strength, and He will energise your life, faith and ministry. I pray you will receive God's help today, in Jesus' name.

Prayer/Action
I prophesy that I shall not be a victim of another man’s error in my entire life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Enemy, the Party is Over

Tuesday 23 June
READ: 1Sam. 30:1-19
MORE LESSONS: Isa. 43:1-7

David and his men were out of town for only three days and by the time they returned, the enemy had invaded the land and made away with everything they left behind, including their wives and children. This is what the devil enjoys doing; invading people's destinies and causing sorrow. This year, I prophesy to you, there shall be no satanic invasion, nor anything that causes sorrow, in Jesus name. The response of David and his men to this situation was expected, Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no power to weep: v4. All they laboured for in life was gone and as humans they were discouraged.
However, the strength of David returned and he went into prayer and received help. Heaven went to work for him and by divine direction and help, David pursued those enemies and, before long, he met them where they were celebrating their loot. David terminated the party, killed all and recovered all. Note the four weapons that ended the enemies’ party: (1) David encouraged himself in the Lord(V6). (ii) He consulted God in prayer (V7). (iii) He received a divine direction from the Lord to pursue (V8). (iv) God sent him a helper of destiny (V12).
Today, all your enemy's party is over. Take hold of prayer like never before and add fasting to it. Give up crying and encourage yourself in what God can do. Ask God for true helpers of destiny and divine direction and your enemy's party over you will be over. Arise now, change your attitude to handling life's challenges and terminate your enemy's party today. I prophesy an end to your enemy's rejoicing over your matter.

Prayer/Action
* Prophesy against every enemy’s activity in your life.
* Command every war to cease and terminate every satanic hostility.
* Ask God to grant you victory everywhere you turn to this year and that you will not lose any battle any more. I prophesy that you will surprise your enemies, in the mighty name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
This year is not permitted to close without the evidence of God’s goodness in my life, in the name of Jesus.

Prayerlessness: a Doom

Monday 22 June
READ: Gen.32:21-31
MORE LESSONS: Gen.33:1-4

For Jacob, taking the decision to return home after over twenty years in Laban's place was tough because of the problem he had about the issue of the blessing of his father, which he stole from Esau. However, one would have expected that being brothers, twenty years were long enough to have quenched the fire, but not so in this case.
Esau, on hearing about his brother's return, prepared a four hundred man army to meet Jacob for revenge. All the gifts that Jacob sent to appease his brother did nothing to change him; his opportunity to revenge had come. When Jacob saw that nothing worked, he resorted to what he ought to have done first-prayer, staying alone with God.
At the place of prayer he met God and his story changed. He was blessed and had his name changed so that by the time he met Esau, the battle plan had become a party plan. If you can turn over your battles to the Lord, you will win without shooting a single bullet. Just imagine, all the four hundred men that Esau brought became bodyguards for Jacob and his family (Gen. 33:15). This is what God will do for you this year, in Jesus name.
Every battle will be turned to party time and all satanic revenge will fail, but not without a life of prayer. Prayer is what changes things-personal prayer, church prayer and all manner of prayers. Restore your altar of prayer today. Prayerlessness is a doom, fight it now!

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to lay hand on bow and arrow and fight your cause today.
* Declare that from the rising of the sun to its going down today, Heaven will stand for you.
* Declare that you will not lack victory in your place of prayer this year.
* Ask God to rekindle the fire of prayer in your life.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I am a fruitful vine, I shall not be barren of any good thing, in the mighty name of Jesus.
