Your Right of Way

Tuesday 26 January
READ: John 11: 9 - 10
MORE LESSON: John12: 35 - 46

You have the right of way in destiny. I want you to know that you can walk comfortably and get to where you are going in life without missing your way. However the secret to walking right in destiny is captured in the word 'light'. In the natural, everyone knows the anguish that is associated with trying to grope your way through darkness. If the power source fails and a house is in thick darkness, anyone who tries to walk in such an environment hits against obstacles, falls or even gets injured. These are the difficulties associated with walking in darkness. A man walking in the light, however, walks with ease and gets to where he is going on time.

Jesus said, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him: John 11:9-10. The reason many people walk in daily struggles and difficulties is because they walk in darkness. If you must find your way through life, you must walk in the light. When there is the reign of darkness in a life, there is confusion, anguish, terror, struggle and woes. When you have light, then you have the right of way. Jesus said in John 8: 12, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not 
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The first thing that brings light into the life of a man is salvation. When you invite Jesus into your life, He comes in and brings the Light that He is into your life. Light is the master over darkness; when Jesus comes into your life, confusion and woes fly away.

After getting born again, and the darkness of sin has been removed, you still need the Word of God to bring more light into your life. Ignorance is darkness and the Word of God is light. The Word is a lamp to your feet, and a light to your path (Psa. 119:105). It is the knowledge of God's Word that gives light. This is the reason the Bible says, The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple: Psa. 119:130. When your life is governed by the Word of God, you walk in precision and accuracy; hitting your targets and making headway in life. You are also able to walk in speed and ease and therefore are satisfied early in life. You have the right of way in destiny and that right is in the light of God's Word. Today, I prophesy, let there be more light in your life. No matter how much of God's Word you know, you need more of Him.

Prayer/Action
* Father, let every obstacle on my way today be broken into pieces, in Jesus’ mighty name.
* Father, nothing will be too big or so small to stop my right of way this year, in the name of Jesus.
* Whatever hinders men in life will not find me, in the name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Anoint yourself with oil and declare “no day in 2016 shall be remembered for sorrow or loss in the name of Jesus.

Walking without Sinking 2

Monday 25 January
READ: Matt.14:22-32
MORE LESSON: Jer. 1: 12

Anytime you stand in faith looking at Jesus as the Word, the Blood, or the Life, there is nothing that can make you sink in life. Faith in God turns water to rock and wherever you stand becomes solid rock. In every circumstance that surrounds me, I see life behind the cross. For as long as you set your eyes on the Cross of Jesus, nothing can sink you. Before any evil can get to you, it must first win over the cross. Standing on the cross is an authority that governs the universe, a strength that has never experienced failure. Choose to see the cross first before seeing anything.

When I first started ministry, people used to come to me with many sad stories of what was happening to them. I used to become sober and downcast along with them and feel sorry for them. But then I started discovering that the people have not come to see me but who I represent. So when people come now with situations that could make anyone cry, I start making joke out of bad matters. When they come crying over a bad case, I begin to laugh and crack joke with them. Then I share God’s Word and I pray with them before I ask them to go. Some think that it is because I do not understand what they are going through. But no, it is because I choose not to see what the devil is doing but what God can do. I choose not to see the storm but Jesus miraculously walking on the water.

A woman came to me crying over her medical report of a cancer diagnosis. I collected the report and said, 'Father thank You because You are bigger than all this nonsense report. I replace the bad report with a good report'. Then I gave her back the paper and told her go see her doctor for a re-check. She looked at me and asked, 'Is that all?' Then she went and reported to the person who brought her that the Bishop didn't lay hands on her head. The fellow replied, 'Did he say anything to you?' She said that he only spoke a few words of prayer and told me to go and see the doctor again. Then the fellow said, ‘Go and do what he told you’. The Lord healed the woman supernaturally.

What she didn't know is that when I spoke to her, I wasn't seeing the cancer anymore; I was seeing her situation changed by the Miracle Worker. She forgot about the cross and remembered cancer as she came. But I decided to focus on the cross and help her put her attention away from cancer to the Great Physician. I don't care what you are going through; as long as you remove your focus from the situation and put it on the finished work of Christ on the Cross, you will experience miracles. You will walk on waters and not sink, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Father, I choose to believe Your report over the report of satan, in Jesus’ name.
* Today, I set my face like a flint, I shall not lose focus on the promises of God in my life.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
The sound of joy and the gathering of celebration shall not be missing in my new year in the mighty name of Jesus.

Walking without Sinking 1

Sunday 24 January
READ: Matt. 14:22-32
MORE LESSON: Heb 12: 2

The process of Peter’s sinking comprises three things. First, he looked off the Master and concentrated on the storm. Looking off the Master introduced fear and the result of the fear was the sinking. Each time a man sinks in destiny, there is a progression to the experience. Whatever succeeds in making you look off the source of strength sinks you. Do not allow anything to take you away from the Lord because to look off Jesus is to lose sight of confidence and strength.

The first consequence of looking off Jesus is the entrance of fear. Looking off Jesus opens the door for the thief to come in and the thief only needs a short period of time to steal, kill and destroy. You will not be a victim, in Jesus’ name; this is why your focus must be on Jesus unwaveringly throughout life. The moment Peter changed the object of his focus, he saw the storm. When he wasn't seeing Jesus anymore, he started seeing the storm. Remember, the storm didn’t just appear, he began to focus on the storm because he lost focus of the Lord. He started from a position of seeing the storm alongside with the other disciples before Jesus showed up. They all were looking at the storm until in the midst of the storm, he saw someone walking on the water. Immediately he found the supernatural sight of Jesus walking on water more captivating than the raging storm, the picture of the storm played down in his consciousness. In fact, as he concentrated on the miraculous sight, he so much forgot about the storm that he asked Jesus to bid him walk on the water in the midst of the storm. Then all of a sudden the devil reminded him, 'What do you think you are doing on the water with a storm as mighty as this blowing around you?' Immediately he remembered the storm, he forgot about Jesus and the miracle he was experiencing, and all he could remember was the storm.

Do you know that it is you who chooses what you want to see in life? Then what you choose to see determines whether you walk or sink. What sinks men is not the problems of life but their reactions to the problems. It wasn't the storm that actually made Peter to sink, it was the image of the storm. He allowed the image of the storm to overshadow the image of Jesus in his consciousness. Jesus is busy doing something in your life and the devil too is busy making his own noise; it is who you choose to see that wins in your life. What opened the door for Peter to sink was not the storm but his giving attention to fear by choosing not to see what Jesus was doing anymore. You will not sink in destiny, in Jesus’ name. But you must mind your sight, ear and mouth.

Prayer/Action
* I prophesy that my eyes will not see the storm that will make me sink, in Jesus’ name. 
* I come against the forces of distraction in my journey of destiny, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
As the sun does not struggle to shine and the day does not struggle to break, so is my destiny this year, it shall not struggle to advance, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Get the Blessing!

Saturday 23 January
READ: Gen. 12:1-5
MORE LESSON: Gen. 22:16-18

Abraham's name has become an epitome of faith and greatness. The greatness of Abraham's name is more now than when he was alive. If you go to the nation of Israel today, you will see how greatly they revere him. Several contemporary countries and religions have also laid claim to descent from Abraham. When a man is successful, everybody claims to be related to him. 
I can't tell what dreams Abraham had for his life when he was in his father's house in Ur of the Chaldeans but I can boldly say that when he met with God, God gave him a dream and destiny that was bigger than he could ever have imagined for himself. He encountered God and connected with a blessing so massive that it redefined the course of the rest of his life and gave him a name beyond his generation. Abraham connected with God and got a blessing that transformed him from a nonentity to a trans- generational role model.

You may not have a vision for your life or you may be pursuing a life that is less than God's will for you. But I want you to know that there is a blessing that you can connect with today that can turn you to a joy of many generations. When this blessing locates you, you also will get to a point that when people want to define greatness, they will refer to you. Greatness, fulfilment in destiny and becoming a generational praise are derivatives of God's blessing upon a man. This same blessing that He gave to Abraham is available to you, according to Gal 3: 14, That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The same blessing that was given to Abraham is available to you through Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ connects you with the blessing of Abraham. This blessing starts with the salvation of your soul and healing of your body; then it proceeds to greatness, wealth, trans-generational impact and good success. Do not ever make light God's blessing; it has the capacity to cause the desired shift in your destiny.

There have been people, both in history and contemporary times, that are associated with wealth and greatness. There are people who, when you mention their names, the first thing that comes to mind is wealth. The blessing that you will enter into from your encounter with God that will come your way today is such that when next people want to describe great things, they will make reference to you. I bless you with the blessing of the Lord that makes your life become more than all you have ever dreamed. As you go out today, greatness will happen to you, in Jesus’ name. Ask God for the blessings of Abraham upon your entire destiny today.

Prayer/Action
* Jesus, by my connection with You, I shall be greater than I imagined, in Jesus’ name.
* I receive access to the Abrahamic blessing, in Jesus’ name.
* I shall not be a failure in destiny, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Today, every bow of steel is broken by my hands, my war-fares are ended, and I declare peace in all around my territory, in the name of Jesus.
