More and More II

Monday 9 January
READ: Prov. 4: 18
MORE LESSON: Deut. 1: 11

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Our God is a God of more and more. God does not give once in a life time blessing; He gives more and more. No matter how many blessings you have; this year you have to get ready for more. The term ‘more and more' shows that God doesn't give momentary blessings, He gives continuous blessings. Not only does God give a continuous blessing, He gives increasing blessings. This shows that God never has a better yesterday, and for His children, there is no better last year. Every single year is more than the previous. If there was any good thing you have experienced in the past, then, expect a repeat of the blessing. Beyond an ordinary repeat of the blessing, expect a repeat with an increase.
The major miracles in the Bible were repeated. God doesn't do miracles once and never again; He does them over and over again. Jesus healed the blind many times, cleansed lepers time and time again, raised many from the dead. There is hardly any miracle in the Bible that was not repeated. This is to prove that the first happening was not an accident. If He opened the eyes of the blind once, people can say that it happened by chance. But when He does it time and time again to the extent of creating eyes out of dust for a man born without eyes, then you know that these miracles are not accidental; they are deliberate.
Probably, you were rich before and the devourer came and you came down in your finances. This is the year that you are going to be more than you ever were before. Probably you had a baby and you have not been able to conceive again after that, and it is now looking like even the one you have was by chance. The God of deliberate, repeated and more miracles give you more this year. In case you have never had any before, then the God who has done it for others will repeat it in your life. Your miracles this year are not by chance; they are the deliberate acts of God. This year in every area of your life, you will become more and more.This means that the way you started 2017 is not the way you will end it.
You may start small but your path will shine more and more till you become everything that you are meant to be. By the end of the year, your testimony will be, Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness: Psa. 65:11.

Prayer/Action
* My path in life shall not end in loss but more blessing, in the mighty name of Jesus.
* Speak multiplication of blessing and goodness of God to your life, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
2017, I shall shine more and more unto the perfect day, in the name of Jesus.

More and More I

Sunday 8 January
READ: Prov. 4: 18
MORE LESSON: Gen 1: 14 – 16

Our text reads, The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day (NLT). The King James Version says, ...the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. This shows that the desired perfect destiny of the just man is reached only by shining more and more. This means that as the greatness of the light of a man increases, the perfection of his destiny becomes evident.
Many times, the problem of believers is not the absolute absence of light but the insufficiency of light. Even in the natural, the electric light supplied to our homes could be so low in voltage that it is not good to us: it cannot power any gadget and we can't even see well with it. This situation, popularly called 'low current' in Nigeria, is sometimes even as bad as when there is no power at all. Today, you need a brightening of the light of your life. You need to shine more and more. You might be born again, Spirit filled or even a servant of God but the intensity of your light is not enough for your desired result and impact in life. The way out is to get more and more light; do not rest with the light that you carry, thinking that is all the light there is. You need more light.
Peradventure, your candle is even already going down, you need your candle to be lit all over again. The light of the sun is more than the light of the moon and so the impact of the sun is greater than the impact of the moon. This shows that the greater your light, the greater your impact. More light will definitely result in more greatness, grace, glory, health and wealth. The sun rules the day because it shines more and more. When the dawn breaks, the sun only shines a little and darkness is still seen around to a certain degree. However, as the day progresses, the sun increases in shining till it dominates the firmament. Dominion is as a result of shining more and more.
There are certain matters in life that will not bow to you at your current level of light. You might have done all you know and your marriage, finances, health or whatever area of life is not responding. This shows that you need more light in that area. Go for more light so that you can shine more. More light comes by getting more of the Word of God and more illumination from people that God has given light in that area of life. Pray to God for light and seek light from people that carry light so that in their light you can see light (Psa 36: 9).

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to enrich your heart with the revelation of His Word, in Jesus’ name.
* Ask the Lord to grant you an unhindered progress in life, in the mighty name of Jesus.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
By the power of the name of Jesus and His powerful blood, I shall not record any “R.I.P” (Rest in peace) but I shall have a daily RSVP of celebration, in the name of Jesus.

The Power of Light II

Saturday 7 January
READ: Psalm 36:5-10
MORE LESSON: 2 Cor. 4:6-7

Light is a great force that everything under Heaven responds to. From creation, God put everything He created on earth under the influence of light. Beside the light that God spoke into existence to rescue the earth from the influence of the darkness that was moving upon the deep in Genesis 1:3-4; God also proclaimed lights over the firmament to be governors over day and night, And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good: Gen. 1:14-18.
The earth and the things therein cannot be without light. Light enables men to see around them and afar off. Light kindles hope and assurance in men. The ray of the morning light through the window of a sick man's room can be very relieving. Light ensures productivity and effectiveness. It is one of the greatest sources of energy. Plant production is not possible without light, plant grows in the direction of light. Animals in general are active in the day; only few who are nocturnal move about in the dark. Yet God has blessed such animals with eyes that can pierce through darkness. Have you ever seen the eyes of a pussy cat in the night? It is awesome.
In our Scripture reading today, the psalmist said, For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light: v.9. As the lights of the cosmos are to the earth, much more is the light of God to the man's body, soul and spirit. Only in God's light shall we see light; and Jesus Christ is that Light. John the Baptist bearing witness of Jesus said, That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God: John 1:12-13. If you want to see the light that will disperse your darkness, invite Jesus into your life today.

Prayer/Action
* Lord, let Your light shine upon me as I invite Jesus into my life now, in Jesus’ name.
* Father, deal with every darkness of my life today by the power of Your light, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
Today is the last day of the first week in 2017, with every sense of fulfilment and joy I shall see the last week and last day of 2017, in the name of Jesus.

The Power of Light I

Friday 6 January
READ: Isa. 60:1-3
MORE LESSON: Exo, 14:19-20

The Cambridge Dictionary defines light as, the brightness that comes from the sun, fire, etc. and from electrical devices, and that allows things to be seen. Irrespective of sources, the key facts about light, based on the definition above, are: 1) Light illuminates; it brightens; 2) It allows for things to be seen. Where there is light, groping, zigzag walk, fear and intimidation cease. Light is so powerful that it disperses darkness cheaply. Light also has the power to rejuvenate all living things. The power of light is an ordinance of God to teach men about His power. God is light
(1John 1:5). When God lights the lamp of a man's life, it means:
1. God has simply taken residence in that man's life.
2. The fullness of God has come into effect in that man's life.
3. The man is graced to manifest the power and effect contained in the light.
4. The man is empowered to see what others without lamp cannot see.
5. He has become a source of life and power to many others. Through the man many others who grope in darkness will be helped. Hope and life return to those in distress.
When God moved the Israelites through the wilderness, He gave them light in form of pillar so that they could continue their journey in the night. When God wanted to prevent the Egyptians from catching up with the Israelites, ...the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night: Exo.14: 19-20.
The pillar of cloud which went before the Israelites simply repositioned itself such that it was a pillar of light to the Israelites and darkness to the Egyptians; and as such, their enemy could not catch up with them. I pray for you today, that what is giving you light will give darkness to your enemies. I ask the angel of God to reposition Himself in your matter to become light to you and darkness to your enemies, in the name of Jesus. Those chasing after your destiny to hurt it will never be able to catch up with you. I command the darkness to slow them down while the power of light give you speed for advancement, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Lord , let my light never go dim, in the mighty name of Jesus.
* I command every bit of darkness around me to roll back, in Jesus’ name

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
I am a barrier breaker and a line crosser in 2017, all limitations shall be over in my life, in the name of Jesus.
