Speak into the Atmosphere

Sunday 6 November
READ: Mark 4:35-39
MORE LESSON: Eze. 29:1-3

In today's reading, it had already been concluded by Jesus that He and His disciples were going over to the other side but the enemy said it would not be. So also it is for every one born with a great destiny; your other side is that greatness, that promotion, that impactful ministerial calling, that relevant business that the enemy will always say no to. The devil sent a storm to hinder them from crossing over to the other side; the boat got filled with water though Jesus was there with the disciples. Jesus was with them but nothing was done until the disciples spoke. The major lesson of life here is that keeping quiet when you should speak endangers your life. It leads to defeat and makes you a casualty in the battles of life.
The disciples probably assumed that because Jesus was there with them, storms would not come. This can be a costly assumption. Having Kingdom power and authority does not mean challenges will not come; rather, they will come to try that power. You have to unlock the power by speaking. Do not assume but act, speak, For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith: Mark 11:23. Jesus Himself spoke this profound truth in this verse of the Scripture and it cannot be broken; so you have to speak into the atmosphere even in the face of contradictions. Desires without prayers and speaking them out are wishful thinking. Speak in the days of trouble and God will hear you and give you answer. The only major condition is that you must speak without doubt or unbelief in your heart. Believe that what God says He will, He will do and He can do what He says. Doubt your doubts and believe God to the end.
What do you speak?
I) Speak what God says: situations must respond to what God says. Find out what God says about your situation and speak that out.
ii) Make a decree (Job 22:28). A decree is an authoritative word backed by law. Tell satan his boundary in your life; let him know what he must not do.
iii) Speak a command (Isa.45:11). A command is backed up by the authority of a superior; God is the most superior.
Whatever you refuse to say ‘No’ to will become normal in your life. Disapproval is expressed by speaking. Rise up now and refute all satanic troubles your boat is filled with and there will be a great calm. Speak now!

Prayer/Action
* Every contrary word that has risen up against me, I command you to cease and I declare peace, in Jesus’ name.
* I prophesy to the womb of this new day, bring forth for me victory, success, progress, joy, increase and help, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, thank You for making JAWOM 2016 Convention a fulfilment, every partaker shall walk in the fulfilment permanently, in Jesus' name.

The Best Gift of All

Saturday 5 November
READ: Heb.1:1-8
MORE LESSON: Phil.2:9-10

God loves to relate and speak with people. The scripture for today expressly declares that God speaks. Several people in the world think that God is so impersonal and distant from man that He does not speak. Far from it, God has been speaking and will continue to speak to man in all ages. God speaks to all without bias of race, colour, tribe, status or class. The only condition for enjoying the communion of closeness with God is to have the Son. God speaks to us by His Son (Heb.1:2); He has made His Son the fullness of all things. Jesus Christ is the full package of God's gift to mankind, For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ: Rom.5:17. To reign in life, you must have Jesus and allow Him to live and reign in you. A man that has the fullness of Christ will have the fullness of life.
To enjoy God's best gift you have to use the name of Jesus. The key to accessing the good gifts that God has provided for His children is using the name of Jesus, And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it: Jn.14:13-14.
God has completely authorised that everything must respond to Jesus’ name. Such things that must respond include:
1. The heavens and the earth (Deut.32:1). These have ears to hear and will respond.
2. Stones and other created things will respond to the name (Josh.24:27; Psa. 29:1-3).
3. Nations and people will hear and respond to the name (Isa.34:1). Call that rebellious member of your family that has refused to respond to the caution of the elders. Start calling him to respond to the name of Jesus and a change will happen.
Those long standing requests and prayers will respond to the voice of the Lord that is powerful, full of majesty, breaking the cedars of Lebanon and dividing the flames of fire. Arise and use the best that God has given you to access your victory.

Prayer/Action
* Give God thanks for giving you the name of Jesus.
* Receive every good gift that Heaven has in stock for you, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
I decree that self-advertising miracles of God shall fill my new month, in the name of Jesus.

The Self-Sufficient Helper

Friday 4 November
READ: Psa. 46:1-11
MORE LESSON: Acts 12: 20 - 24

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early: Psa. 46:5 The help of God is Heaven's intervention in a matter that is beyond the control of man. Help enables you to do more than you can do ordinarily. Help is about being able to achieve more than you can on your own. Someone defined help as the extra hand that makes your load lighter to carry. God is the only Helper there is: if God doesn't help you, no man can. Every other man assists, but God helps. Assistance talks of relief coming in bits and pieces but help is holistic and has no limit; it gets the job done completely. Only God can provide real help; men can push a little but God provides the help. Man can take off to help and abandon it along the way, but God starts from the beginning and takes it all through to the end. When God is involved, He goes all the way to bring us help. When you put your confidence in man, you are putting your confidence in a supporter who himself needs help. But when you put your confidence in God He can use other men to accomplish things.
Every man will have something that he needs an extra hand for till the end of life. We all need help; I haven't found a man who is not in need of help. I have met the rich and the strong and they all need help. I haven't met anyone who does not need help except God who is self-sufficient. No man is self-sufficient; if you hear anyone say that he is, he is preparing for his grave.
God is self-sufficient and all men are dependent. Don't be deceived to think you are sufficient on your own like Herod (Acts 12: 21) who finished speaking and the people were hailing him, saying that it was not the voice of man but the voice of God. They said he was God and he was happy. All of a sudden, an angel slapped him and he fell down dead. No one knew an angel was in that congregation until the man was slapped. The angel would have wondered, “How can they tell you that you are self-sufficent and self-existent and you accept such praise from them?” It is only the Almighty God that occupies that office.
Never put your confidence in yourself. Herod must have believed he was some god also because he accepted the accolade of being God. Jehovah had to silence him as a lesson to other men. Don't ever trust that you can accomplish anything all by yourself but only by the help of God.

Prayer/Action
*Thank the Lord because you serve a self – sufficient God.
*Tell God that your trust is in Him and ask Him to send you help.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
God's goodness, favour, mercy and loving kindness shall follow me and overtake me this new month, in the name of Jesus.

Exceptional Help

Thursday 3 November
READ: 2 Sam. 5: 6-10
MORE LESSON: Psa. 18: 29

In today’s text, David led his army against the Jebusites who lived in the rocky fortress. When they heard that David was coming, they mocked him and told him their habitation was so fortified that a weakling like David could not defeat them. In fact, they told him that even if the lame and the blind in the land were to form the army to fight against him, they would defeat him. Obviously, David was still small and had not attained all the greatness he later had. So they under-estimated and mocked him. Everywhere you have been washed down and mocked, the help of God will lift you up and place you above your mockers, in Jesus’ name.
It was like my story in secondary school. One of my teachers once looked at me and said, 'You, even if they give you the answer script and ask you to copy, you will still copy wrongly and fail'. They believed that I would not amount to anything. But today, the Lord has brought me to a great place. After the mockery done to David by the inhabitants, he invaded that city, defeated the people of the land and took over the land. I am particularly impressed with what David did after he took that city; he named it after himself and made it his headquarters, So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the City of David...: 2 Sam. 5:9. That is the city called Jerusalem today; the capital city during the reign of David and the headquarters of the nation of Israel. He turned the place of his mockery to an eternal memorial of his greatness. That is what God is set to do for you today.
It is the exceptional help of God that made David to prevail where he had been disdained. He stated this secret of his success in Psa. 18: 29, For by thee, I have run through a troop; and by my God, have I leaped over a wall. Today, the help of God will locate you and you will amaze critics and enemies to record an astounding victory.
I pray for you today that where people have said there is no place for you, you will become the head. That office that refused to give you a job because you are a child of God will soon be bought over by you. When you enter that office, you will enter as the CEO. An exceptional help is on the way for you this year. God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself. Lift up your hand and shout Amen!

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to give you honour and fame in the same land where you dwell.
* Ask the Lord to send you exceptional help today.
