Announce the Son

Sunday 15 November
READ: Heb.1:1-14
MORE LESSON: Col. 1:7-9

God used various ways to communicate to men in past dispensations. Now the only message of God to man is through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is God's final and sufficient joker to win the battle between Satan and man, sin and man. God's final Word is His Son. He is the final answer to man's dilemmas, failures, diseases and battles. The fullness of Jesus brings us dominion, authority and power to keep all things subject to us. Christ in us is the hope of glory in this world and He is the key that opens the glories of eternity.

To overcome in the endtimes, we must carry Jesus in us. It is when Jesus is carried that anointing is real, and yokes are broken and removed (Isa.10:27). For men around us to also experience true freedom and peace, it is not by gimmicks or loud shouting; it is by proclaiming Jesus. Announce the Son and there will be signs, wonders, diverse miracles and gifts of the Spirit.

What are you to announce about the Son of God? Announce that He is the only begotten Son of God (Heb.1:5). You should also announce that He has the most excellent name of all (Heb.1:4), the name that all entities in the universe respond to and obey. By that name also, believers have access to all of God's goodness (Jn.14:14). Also announce that the reign of Jesus is unending and everlasting (Heb.1:8). You are called to announce that Jesus sits upon the throne on the right hand of God and is an advocate for us against all Satan's accusations. My little children, these things I write unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous: I Jn.2:1.

Finally, announce other privileges that accrue to those who have received Jesus into their lives. These include peace with God (Rom.5:1), the gift of eternal life (Rom.6:23), freedom from condemnation (Rom.8:1), free gifts of all the good things of life (Rom.8:32) and the joy of the inseparable love of God in life and death (Rom.8:39) among so many other benefits. As you step out today, go ahead to announce the Son to somebody and be a blessing!

Prayer/Action
* Christ in me is the hope of glory, so I declare that my destiny is glorious and void of shame.
* As I announce the Son, let His signs and wonders manifest through my life.
* All the benefits of carrying Jesus in me will not be lacking in my life, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Every gate raised against my destiny today, I command you to catch fire and burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus.

Born to Rule

Saturday 14 November
READ: Gen 1: 26 – 28
MORE LESSON: Psa 91: 13 - 16

The original mandate of God for man is to rule the earth. God created you to rule. According to Gen 1:26, when God created man, He told them to have dominion over everything that He made. Child of God, you are not created to be a slave, you are born to rule. Deut 28: 13 says, And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. God wants you to be the head, meaning that if you start at the bottom, He wants you to make progress up till you get to the top. Wherever you find yourself, in your career, academics, job or society, go for the best place. Continue to develop yourself and grow till you are at the top. God wants you to rule in your sphere of influence.

God wants you to exercise dominion over life and situations. In your health and physical well being, He wants you to rule. You should not be ruled by sickness; you should dominate it – go for health and not just healing. Healing is getting well when you fall sick, and then you start praising God. As good as that is, it is not the dominion that God created you for. True dominion is when you live in divine health, where no sickness can touch you - that is your portion, in Jesus’ name.

God wants you to dominate over perils; do not allow anything that is not of God to perch on you and your family. When you read Psa. 91, you will realise that there are many pestilences, terrors and evil flying around looking for a home to rest on. Do not allow them to rule over you. Exercise dominion over them by declaring your authority over all evil in Jesus’ name. Insist by declaration of faith that you will not be a victim of circumstances. Rule over situations. You must also dominate in your finance. A child of God should not be begging around or work hard with nothing to show for it. The spirit of dominion will give you breakthrough in your business and career till you become the envy of unbelievers around you.

Dominion for a believer is not limited to casting out demons; it includes successful living. Success is yours in Jesus’ name. Unfortunately many believers are satisfied with their current level and that is the reason why they are not ascending to the place of dominion that God has destined for them. In fact, some use scriptures to justify and defend their smallness. God has made provision for you to rule and dominate even before you were created. I simply want you to take hold of the provision in the Word and ascend to greater heights.

Prayer/Action
* Reject the slave mentality.
* Declare yourself a ruler wherever you are.
* Ask God to take away every sign of a slave from your life.
* Prophesy that you will never live a beggarly life.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I bless everyone that bless me today, and curse be anyone that curse my destiny, this is my heritage in Abraham, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Problem Solvers Network

Friday 13 November
READ: Gal. 6: 9 - 10
MORE LESSON: Psa. 65: 2

Do you know the reason why God is relevant? It is because He is a problem solver. You wouldn't come to God if not for the fact that you know He has the answers to your questions and the solution to your problems. Even the Bible recognises the fact that men come to God because He solves problems, O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come: Psa. 65: 2. We always give testimonies; a testimony is nothing but a way of saying you had a problem and God solved it. So God is relevant throughout all the ages because He is a problem solver and for you to be equally relevant you must be a problem solver.

One way of appreciating God for solving your problem is extending His problem solving nature to others. If you want to thank God for solving your problem, you too go and look for somebody's problem and solve it. Maybe you have been languishing under the affliction of poverty and then God blessed you, find somebody also who is suffering from poverty and do what you can to raise that person out of it. May be you didn't have a means of paying school fees when you were in school but God helped you in whatever way and you finished school by the mercy of God. Now that you have finished school and you are blessed, find somebody who is not able to go to school because of lack of money; encourage the person by your own testimony and solve that person's problem with your resources. If you solve another person's problem and he also goes on to solve another person's problem with his own testimony and a chain of problem solving is generated, imagine the good that will happen in our world. When you create a chain of solutions by solving people's problems and urging them to go on and solve other people's problems, you create a web and network of thanksgiving to God. For every one that gets into the network and gives God praise, Heaven traces it back to you and interest accrues to your heavenly account.

God's relevance is in His ability to solve problems. So also your relevance in life is in your providing solution to people's problem. Extend God's problem solving nature to people. Do it out of love and request nothing from the people only that they too look for somebody whose problem they will solve. By so doing you will create a network of solution and have a degree of relevance that only eternity can reveal. Go out today and do something good to somebody who will also do something good to somebody who will do something good to somebody .and it goes on and on.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God for the anointing to solve problems. 
* Ask God to lead you to someone who needs what you have today, in Jesus’ name.
* Pray that you will have a new testimony of a problem solver.

PROPHETIC PRAYER.
I command the door of access to my next level to begin to open for me now, in the name of Jesus.

Stop the Prodigal Life

Thursday 12 November
READ: Lk. 15: 11 - 32
MORE LESSON: Jer. 3: 12 -15

There was a son of a wealthy man in the Bible who took his share of the father's property and travelled to a far country. He left the security, love and abundance in his father's house and went to see the world for himself. He was a prince in his father's house but he became a slave in the world where he sank into penury and was struggling to eat with pigs. The Bible calls him the prodigal son: the son who wandered away.

Many children of God have left home and have travelled far into the world of sin and suffering. They have forsaken the riches of God's grace, and as pigs eat dirt and filth, so they are living in mire with the pigs of the world: partying, fornicating, lying, cheating and stealing, drug abuse and alcohol addiction are filth that has become food to them. A daughter of God well brought up with the Word of God grows up and gains admission into the university and starts living in with an unbeliever-boy, who defiles, debases and even beats her and she says she can't leave him. That is eating with the pigs because she has wandered away from her Father's home.
The prodigal life is a terrible life. it reduces a prince to a drug addict-beggar and a princess to a prostitute with no sense of self worth anymore. Whatever prodigal life you have gone into, it is time to return home.

This reminds me of an intelligent young man who finished secondary school in flying colours. When the enemy attacked him with the spirit of prodigal living, he packed his baggage from the city where he was and went back to his village. He got admission to the university but discarded it and went to the village, where he had no father, mother or sibling. He had only one companion that he sat and talked with: a mad man. The mad man was his closest friend whom he chatted with from morning till evening every day. Then one day, some people that cared about him came to take him forcefully from the village. As they were dragging him away, the mad man was crying, “Please don't leave me, why are you going, who will play with me when you are gone?” This boy was well to do, respectable and intelligent before the enemy attacked him. They brought him to me and I broke every attack of the prodigal spirit over him. I prayed for him, made sure he got admission again and registered and attended a higher institution. He is a successful man now to the glory of God.

Prodigal living can be as a result of your choice of a life of sin or a demonic influence upon you. But whatever the case today I declare that an end has come to your prodigal life, in Jesus’ name. Return home to God your Father, He is waiting for you.

Prayer/Action
* Command every strange satanic manifestation to be broken over your life now.
* Rebuke any bondage in your life to be broken now by fire, in the name of Jesus.
* Command the spirit of soundness to come upon you, in the name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
There is the glory of the sun, the moon, and the stars, I shall operate in the highest of the glories, in the mighty name of Jesus.
