27 September 2019

Mysteries are hidden secrets. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost leads you to excavate things that you did not know.

SCRIPTURE: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Praying in the Spirit is praying in the frequency of mysteries.

Praying in tongues or praying in the spirit charges up our spiritual batteries thereby inflaming the fervency of our spirit. Jesus manifested in the Holy Ghost where he was groaning in the Spirit at the tomb of Lazarus and it is likened to praying in the Spirit (John 11:33). If Jesus and the Apostles (Acts 2:1- manifested the Holy Ghost then we do not have an option.

Now, what is the impact of praying in tongues as far as prayer is concerned?

1. Praying in the Spirit is praying in accordance with the Will of God (Romans 8:26,27)

Many times we do not know what to pray about but when we pray in the Spirit we begin to pray on what God wants us to pray about. There is a limitation of human vocabulary and human mentality as far as prayer is concerned; that is why God gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit so that we can pray the right prayers for as long as necessary without unnecessary repetition.  

2. Praying in the Spirit is praying in the frequency of mysteries (1 Corinthians 14:2). 

Mysteries are hidden secrets. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost leads you to excavate things that you did not know.

3. Praying in the Spirit is constructing solid faith (Jude verse 20). When you pray in the Spirit you increase audacity, kill fear and timidity and connect with scriptures that fuel your faith, and of course faith is very important for answered prayers.

Beloved, endeavour to pray in the Spirit as frequently as you can and you will be shifted into a realm where mysteries are demystified, faith is constructed, and prayer flows according to God’s Will.

Remember this: Praying in the Spirit is praying in the frequency of mysteries.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Endeavour to pray in the Spirit daily.

2. Make demands on God for the outpouring of His Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues if you are not yet baptised in the Holy Ghost.

3. Pray in the Spirit now for at least 30 minutes to one hour.

Beloved, you must refuse to be swallowed up by the plagues of the end time. Deliberately decide not to be a victim of the end time bandwagon.

SCRIPTURE: Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24:42

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Watch your life because nobody can watch you like you.

Previously, we saw various signs of the end time. And from what we see and hear in our world today, it can be confirmed that we are, no doubt in the end of times.

Beloved, if your desire is to see God face-to-face at the end of time, if you do not want to be swallowed up by the spirit of vanity and fleshly pleasure, how do you live in times like this?

1. Refuse to be a victim of the season

Beloved, you must refuse to be swallowed up by the plagues of the end time. Deliberately decide not to be a victim of the end time bandwagon.

2. Watch your life

Be on your guard; watch your life because nobody can watch you like you (Matthew 24:42). It is important to watch your life for the enemy moves about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:. You may not be looking for sin but sin is looking for you. That is why 1 Corinthians 12:12 says, wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. So, watch your life! 

3. Live Ready (Matthew 24:44)

Beloved, let the coming of Christ meet you ready; let it not meet you stealing, watching a corrupt movie, or having immorality. Do not get ready to worship or pray, live in prayer and worship-readiness. Do not get ready to study the Bible, live in Bible study-readiness. Do not get ready to fast; live in fasting-readiness. Live a fasted life.

UNBELIEF AND PLEASURE-SEEKING – SIGNS OF THE END TIME

 25 September 2019



 You can read more Seeds of destiny & other daily devotional here

 

We are in a season where many people exist just for fleshly pleasure; the flesh has become the god of many people. 

SCRIPTURE: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. Matthew 24:38

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Despite what people do, the standard of God remains sure.

Life on earth is compared to a pilgrim’s journey. We are not of this world, we are only passing through the world into eternity; we cannot be in this world forever. And every passing day brings eternity much closer to us than ever. The truth is that we are in the end time. 

Yesterday we looked at deficiency of passion for God as one of the signs of the end time. Today, we are looking at two other signs of the end time. 

You can read more Open Heavens daily devotional for today here


1. Abundance of unbelief (Luke 18:8b)

We are in the season where many people do not believe the scripture; they do not believe that a good God can create a terrible hell. There are preachers who preach that God will not send anyone to hell; they say that hell is an out-dated theology but they forgot Sodom and Gomorrah and the days of Noah. Many people do not believe that the end is near. It is also a sign of the end!

2. Existence for pleasure

We are in a season where many people exist just for fleshly pleasure; the flesh has become the god of many people. The devil has given many people abundance of flesh-satisfying agenda; we see the homosexuals, lesbians, and people spending hours on internet games, video games, Facebook, twitter, YouTube etc. Most young ladies are prostituting not necessarily because they love living as prostitutes but because they want to look ‘beautiful’ like others – wear flashy and expensive dresses and gold jewelleries, drive the latest cars, and move about with all forms of vanities.

Beloved, the fact that almost everyone is doing the wrong thing does not make it right. Despite what people do, the standard of God remains sure. In times like these, we must trust God for His grace to stand and consciously put the flesh to subjection.

Remember this: Despite what people do, the standard of God remains sure.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

2. Refuse  to listen to those who preach or believe that once you are saved, you are saved even if you continue to live in sin.

PRAYER: O Lord, give me the grace to stand uprightly in this degenerating world. Let my satisfaction be in You and not in what the world gives, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

LACK OF PASSION FOR GOD – A SIGN OF THE END TIME

 24 September 2019



You can read more Seeds of destiny & other daily devotional here

 

Beloved, the first time you came to the Lord, how was your prayer life? And how is your prayer life now? How was the intensity of your study of the Bible then? And how is it now? How did you evangelise then? What about now? 

SCRIPTURE: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: One of the signs of the end time is the deficiency of passion for God.

You can read more Open Heavens daily devotionals here

Sometime ago, there was a young man who carried an unusual anointing to such a point that whenever he stepped into a place, demons would be screaming out of people. But after about three years, he lost every trace of spiritual fire. Eventually, he has no connection with ministry or serving God today.

The scripture has made it clear that one of the signs of the end time is the deficiency of passion for God or lack of love for God (Matthew 24:1-12). That is why we see Christians struggling with their prayer life, men on fire are gradually losing their fire, prayer warriors are becoming prayer strugglers, people of integrity are losing their integrity, a once powerful Christian sister backsliding to a point of marrying someone who is an unbeliever, all because the love for God has waxed cold.

The end time is a strength-reducing time (2 Timothy 3:1-5); it is a time where people’s spiritual strength reduces, fasting and prayer life reduces, but if you maintain or increase your passion for God, your spiritual strength and fire shall be correspondingly intensified.

Beloved, the first time you came to the Lord, how was your prayer life? And how is your prayer life now? How was the intensity of your study of the Bible then? And how is it now? How did you evangelise then? What about now? I would like you to examine yourself; are you engulfed by the current wind of firelessness in this end time? Has your love for God waxed cold? Think about it and return to your first love for God.

Remember this: One of the signs of the end time is the deficiency of passion for God.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Increase your passion or love for God; let God be the centre of your life, not the things of the world.

2. Interrupt your schedule with a season of waiting on the Lord if you notice that your fire is dropping.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to keep the fire burning for You. I refuse to be a victim of spiritual slumber in this end time, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

It is important to know that all the signs and events in the world today are confirmations that the end of age is at hand. The reality of heaven and hell cannot be disputed. And God is merciful and gracious enough to reveal to us the signs of the end while we are still alive.

We are going to look at the signs that confirm that we are in the end of time. Today we shall be looking at The Abundance of Iniquity.

Our anchor scripture says that in the end time iniquity shall abound (Matthew 24:12). And in our present generation, there is a multiplication of iniquity everywhere.

Sometime ago, an eighteen year old girl called us on phone for prayer. She said that she was under a compulsive influence and practice of immorality after being introduced to immoral lifestyle at age five. She revealed to us that whenever the pressure comes upon her, if she does not get a man, she would go out to look for a man. Such a pathetic case! The end time is characterised by the epidemic of immorality.

Bribery and corruption is everywhere; there are people with dead conscience shedding the blood of the innocent in order to satisfy their love for money.

Beloved, we live in a world with the abundance of iniquity. There is no generation that had been so confronted with iniquity like this present generation. The truth is, we are closer to the end of the world than any other time in history. So, to live carelessly in this end time is to be liable to the danger of eternity in hellfire.

The more spiritual people get, the humbler they become because the Almightiness of God always reveals the nothingness of man.

We have been on a journey of exploring the products of authentic spirituality, and we shall be taking it a little further. It is clear to note that to ignore your spirituality is to sign for frustration. Today, we are going to look at other products of spirituality.

1. Spirituality is doorway to tenacity 

Authentic spirituality imparts on a person the capacity to withstand pressure in order to keep on keeping on. Job who was a man of deep spirituality said, ‘…all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come (Job 14:14). Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism and enthusiasm. A spiritual person is a real fighter; he does not give up easily or take NO for an answer.

2. Spirituality anchors humility

The more spiritual people get, the humbler they become because the Almightiness of God always reveals the nothingness of man. And the humbler we get, the more en-graced and lifted we become. Humility means the capacity to receive advice, the admission of ignorance until proven otherwise. Humility also implies a moderate estimation of oneself. There are many people God would have taken to higher dimensions in life but for the limit of their humility. 

Beloved, intensify your spiritual fire and surrender yourself completely to God, and the nature of God will be expressed effortlessly in you. 

Remember this: Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism and enthusiasm.

1. Spirituality sharpens mentality

It is confirmed that the closer to God we get, the more like Him we think; closeness to God makes people behave older than their age. Nobody can be closely related to the All-wise God and behave like a fool. Distance from God is distance from sense; nobody can be sensible who is distant from God. That is why the Bible says, the fool says there is no God (Psalms 14:1). So, disconnection from God is the impartation of stupidity. The truth of the matter is the deeper we get in God, the more outstanding we become in life. Spirituality provokes wisdom and wisdom will provoke stardom because a man’s wisdom makes his face to shine (Ecclesiastes 8:1).

2. Spirituality is doorway to reliability, faithfulness or dependability. 

The closer people get to God, the more reliable they become in their character. So the limit of spirituality is the limit of reliability, and reliability is a foundation for authority. Daniel had a sound spiritual life, he was found faithful and he could not be separated from authority (Daniel 6:4, 2).

Remember this: Disconnection from God is the impartation of stupidity.

The spirituality of a man is like the root of a tree. The welfare of a tree is determined by its root. If the root is good, the tree will be good.

SCRIPTURE: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing refines character like spirituality.

You can read more Open Heavens daily devotionals here

One of the greatest needs of anyone is the need for true spirituality. Our anchor scripture makes it clear that we should seek first the Kingdom of God irrespective of whatever we want in life, and if we succeed in seeking the Kingdom of God first, every other thing will be added unto us. So, the real need of man is spiritual; when the spiritual is handled, the natural follows.

The spirituality of a man is like the root of a tree. The welfare of a tree is determined by its root. If the root is good, the tree will be good. Of everything that a person must attain, spirituality is of utmost priority and importance. The most crucial attention of man must be directed to spirituality.

Now, let’s look at one of the products of spirituality:

Spirituality is doorway to responsibility

It has been confirmed that every true spiritual person is highly responsible. For instance, a spiritual man is a responsible husband and father; no man can genuinely know God and be a bad husband or father. A genuinely spiritual woman would be a responsible wife and mother. A spiritual man or woman would be a responsible employee or employer. For instance, you would not want to be paid a salary for doing no work; your conscience would not allow that. And you would not deny your workers their salary as an employer. To know God well is to do things well; it quickens a person’s conscience to be alive to responsibility. When we know God well, our conscience is quickened to responsibility. Nothing refines character like spirituality. The closer to God we get the more like God we become (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.

Your praise disarms and destroys the enemy and gives rise to your victory in battle.

SCRIPTURE: Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand. Ps 149:6.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When the praise of God is in your mouth, a sword is in your hand.

You can read more Open Heavens daily devotionals here

Praise is a spiritual force that connects humanity to the wonders of God. It is a spiritual force loaded with spiritual products. A session of praise in service is not an entertainment break but a time of high spiritual activity with high spiritual impact and results.

 Now, let us explore the necessity of praise:

1. Praise, which is the expression of joy in the Lord, is key to Divine health and vitality:

In a world infested with diverse afflictions and all manner of missiles flying in the air, you need a therapy and medicine that is not physical. And that therapy and medicine is praise! (Proverbs 17:22).

Praise imparts life; it animates a person’s system with life. That is why the Bible says in Psalms 150:6 ‘Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord’

That is, as long as you are ready to praise the Lord, you will be supplied breath.

2. Praise is a weapon of vengeance and judgment against the enemy:

In Psalms 149:6, the Bible says ‘Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand…’ 

You see, when the praise of God is in your mouth, a sword of vengeance is in your hand.

1n 2 Chronicles 20:22-23, when the Ammonites, the Edomites and the Moabites gathered against the nation Judah, Judah began to praise God, and their enemies began to fight each other.

So, your praise disarms and destroys the enemy and gives rise to your victory in battle.

Topic: THE DELIVERANCE POWER OF SERVICE


 

 

Beloved, do not be afraid of mockery, it is a platform for your making. 

SCRIPTURE: And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. Exodus 4:22-23

You can read more Open Heavens daily devotionals here

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you are ready to serve God, no Pharaoh can hold you in captivity.

When we started out in life and Ministry, people looked at us with so much disdain. They never believed that anything good could come out of us. But we were not discouraged; we were lost in service to God, being completely sold out to Him. And now, it is glaring to all that God is a faithful Rewarder. At that time, someone asked one of our brethren in Church, ‘Are you attending that small boy’s church?’ but sometime later, the same person came to look for God’s help in the same Ministry he earlier looked down on.

Beloved, do not be afraid of mockery, it is a platform for your making. If people are not mocking you for serving God, God cannot be making you. Brutally donate yourself to service unto God in soul-winning, ushering, sanctuary cleaning, worshipping, praise, counselling, etc. If you are ready to serve, you cannot escape the blessing of God (Exodus 23:25); and the blessing of God is the cure for the curses of life.

In our anchor Scripture, God said to Pharaoh, Let my son go, that he may serve me: So, if you are ready to serve God, no Pharaoh can hold you in captivity.  Living in committed service is a doorway to deliverance from every form of captivity. Whatever assignment you do faithfully for God is a key to your deliverance. Why the devil cannot hold us is because we are too busy serving God. God needs us too much to leave us at the mercy of the devil.

Receive the grace for commitment in kingdom service, and that service is setting you free forever, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: If you are ready to serve God, no Pharaoh can hold you in captivity.

YOUR PRAISE AND YOUR DELIVERANCE 



 

 

Beloved, any prison holding you can vomit you by the power of praise. Depression sustains oppression. Nobody can pray you out of oppression until they have helped you out of depression.

SCRIPTURE: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God:… And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Depression sustains oppression.

Our anchor Scripture establishes the fact that anointed songs carry deliverance power. Psalms 32:7 collaborates this when it says,…thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. So, the frequency of praise is the frequency of liberty. That is why when we minister in songs during Church services, people receive deliverance, yokes are broken and healings happen.

It has been confirmed that no devil can tie down a real worshiper or praiser. Jonah remained in the belly of the whale until he said, But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land (Jonah 2:9-10). 

Beloved, any prison holding you can vomit you by the power of praise. Depression sustains oppression. Nobody can pray you out of oppression until they have helped you out of depression. It is not possible to be helped if you have refused to be happy; the hopeless is the helpless. You may not have the voice to sing but you have the heart to make melody; anything that carries joy, even if it is a noise, is praise. So you can make a joyful noise.

Beloved, overcome the temptation to be depressed. Embrace joy and you are set for total liberty.

Remember this: Depression sustains oppression.

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER


 

 

Beloved, fasting and prayer have the capacity to break down satanic holds (Isaiah 58:6). In fasting, the bands of enemy wickedness are loosed, heavy burdens are undone, oppressions are terminated and yokes are broken.

SCRIPTURE: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matthew 17:21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fasting and prayer have the capacity to break down satanic holds.


You can read more Open Heavens daily devotionals here

In our anchor Scripture, Jesus tells us that there is a kind of devil that cannot be cast out except by prayer and fasting. And Jesus did not say we should go and fast at the sight of such devils. No! What he meant was that we have to fast and pray ready for such a devil. That is, living a fasted life, skipping meals as you are led by the Spirit. You may wake up in the morning and suddenly the appetite for food disappears, not that you are sick.

Refuse to force yourself to eat; proceed into fasting and praying. Permanently charge yourself up and move like a high tension cable wired ready for urgencies. Refuse to live a life of crisis management. There are people who would not pray if there is no problem. They would not fast until they are threatened.

I prophesy into your life, every spear or arrow from the kingdom of darkness against your life and destiny is broken. Your freedom is confirmed, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds Of Destiny

Topic: TURNING CAPTIVITY BY SACRIFICE 



 

 

Beloved, every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.

SCRIPTURE: And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast…and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more…. Genesis 8:20-21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.

It has been scripturally proven that sacrifice establishes liberty. From our anchor Scripture we saw how God perceived the aroma of Noah’s sacrifice and took off the curse. So, sacrifice is a cure for curses. Sacrifice turns captivity (Psalms 126:1-5) – be it an ancestral captivity, generational captivity or family captivity. When you live sacrificially, captivity situations are turned.

The life of sacrifice can make you go where they say no one is permitted to go. Personally, the only thing I have not released as an offering is my body. The truth is, what God is helping us to do, nobody in our lineage has ever dared it.

Beloved, every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses. When you are sacrificial, you are fire-full; you are fire in motion. And when the ancestral spirits or the demonic agents of your family try to stop you, they will realize that you are not a stoppable personality.

My counsel is, raise altars of sacrifice continually to counter any altar speaking against your life and destiny. The truth is, if you have any meaningful destiny, there are altars that would not want you to fulfil it, so let your altar of sacrifice speak against those evil altars continually (Psalms 50:5).

Remember this: Every opportunity to sacrifice is an opportunity to attack curses.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Live sacrificially; deploy your time, effort and resources maximally for the benefit of humanity and for Kingdom advancement.

2. Make demands on God for the grace to sacrifice.

3. Speak forcefully against the altars trying to resist your destiny fulfilment, by the Blood of Jesus.

OVERCOMING DARKNESS BY WALKING IN THE LIGHT



 

 

Beloved, the Word of God is light and life, and the job of light is to kill darkness (John 1:5).

SCRIPTURE: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The job of light is to kill darkness. 

Many years ago, a woman was experiencing all manner of afflictions in her house. She would hear voices on the roof of her house and was almost running crazy by virtue of satanic oppressions. When she met me, I gave her a brutal and forceful message I preached in one of our services. I told her to listen to it and then sleep while it is still playing aloud, and let me see the devil that would cross her house. That devil disappeared immediately she did that. 

Beloved, the Word of God is light and life, and the job of light is to kill darkness (John 1:5). So, on our journey of unveiling how to remain in freedom, today, we are looking at Walking in the Light of God’s Word.

The light, which is the revealed truth, says the blessing existed before the curse (Genesis 1:28); therefore, any curse that is trying to affect you came too late. The truth says that Christ has already redeemed you from the curse (Galatians 3:13-14). 

Now, it is not enough to only receive the light; you need to allow it to penetrate, saturate, percolate and animate your spirit until you are constructed rugged. You need to wash and renovate your mind with the light of the Word until you are transformed by it (Romans 12:1-2). And what is the work of a transformer? It is to upgrade electric current. The light upgrades your life from where witches can chase you to where you can roast witches by fire; from where they molested you in the dream to where you can chase them with spiritual machine-gun.

I prophesy to you today, from this day forward, the light of the Word you receive shall change your life and destroy any darkness around you, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: The job of light is to kill darkness. 

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Identify specific light in scripture and use it as a missile against any dark situation you may be facing in your life.

2. Ensure your mindset is positively transformed by the word.

UPRIGHT LIVING – A HEDGE AGAINST CURSES

13 September 2019



 

 

Beloved, it does not matter who prays for you or the number of scriptures you quote, as long as you are putting on a filthy garment, you cannot resist the devil. 

SCRIPTURE: And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him…Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. Zechariah 3:1-3 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: As light is the answer to darkness, the blessing is the answer to the curse.

It is one thing for a person to be delivered from the grip of generational or family curses, but it is another thing for that person to remain free. There are conditions that guarantee the maintenance of freedom or deliverance from curses, and we are going to look at one of those conditions today.

How do you remain in freedom after being delivered from curses?

Live uprightly 

Ephesians 4:27 says, Neither give place to the devil. So, the devil can be given a place. That is why it is possible for someone to be delivered and after a while the same condition from which they were delivered resurfaces. 

Our anchor Scripture tells us about Joshua, the high priest, who gave a place to the devil by wearing a filthy garment and the devil stood beside him to resist him. 

Beloved, it does not matter who prays for you or the number of scriptures you quote, as long as you are putting on a filthy garment, you cannot resist the devil. So, if you want to stay free, you must make up your mind to be free of iniquity. Little lies, fraudulent practices, seductive dressing, immorality etc. give the devil a place to operate in a life.

It has been confirmed that the Blessing of God is the cure for the curses of life. As light is the answer to darkness, the Blessing is the answer to the curse. Whatever will release the Blessing will terminate the curse. And Psalms 24:4-5 says, He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord…. This implies that when you live uprightly, you are not permitted to remain under curses.

Remember this: As light is the answer to darkness, the blessing is the answer to the curse.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Guard your freedom by living uprightly; flee from sin or compromise.

2. Set out at least a day in a week for consecrational fasting and prayer.

3. Study the Word of God daily. (Psalm 119:9, 11).

PROPHETIC MANTLE – A TERMINATOR OF CAPTIVITY


The mantle of your prophet is key to your escape from every situation of captivity in life.

SCRIPTURE: And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. Hosea 12:13

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The mantle of your prophet tackles your battles.

Our anchor Scripture confirms to us that the mantle of your prophet is another channel of deliverance from curses and bondages in life. You are not permitted to be thirsty by the river side; you cannot be dry in the climate of the oil or mantle you submit to. 

However, it is important to note that the mantle you do not value, the mantle that you speak against, cannot fight your battle.

Now, let’s look at what your prophet’s mantle does in your life.

1. The mantle of your prophet tackles the battles of your life.

2. The mantle of your prophet is key to your escape from every situation of captivity in life.

3. The mantle of your prophet is key to your accessing and realizing your destiny.

Beloved, be genuinely connected to your prophet for the maximization of your profits in life and destiny. And if there is any situation of captivity or curse against your life and destiny, I declare their termination today. The curse is broken in Jesus’ Name!

Remember this: The mantle of your prophet tackles the battles of your life.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Ask God for mercy, and repent if you are bitter against your prophet or have spoken ill of any of God’s ordained servants.

2. Believe in your prophet and take seriously every declaration he makes over your life. (2 Chronicles 20:20b).

3. Pray genuinely for the priest/prophet that blesses your life.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for giving me a prophet for my profit. Put Your Word for me in the mouth of my prophet and terminate every form of captivity around my life by his prophetic declarations, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

RESTORING A BAD MARRIAGE by Pastor Faith Oyedepo


Family Matters

Christian Family 

TOPIC: RESTORING A BAD MARRIAGE


Dear Reader,


Foundations must be solid! Nothing can adequately substitute the need for a solid foundation. In Psalm 11:3 the Bible says: If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?  A building with a faulty foundation is a time bomb waiting to explode; it is usually evidenced by cracks all over. No reinforcement can adequately repair the cracks. The foundation of a house is what determines how stable, strong and lasting the building will be. When a foundation is faulty, every other part of the building is faulty as well.



When I say faulty foundation, I mean those who entered into a marriage relationship without proper marriage procedures. So many people today have been living together with their partners without paying the dowry, having a formal engagement or a public Christian wedding.  Rather than feel or live in condemnation, why not make things right?

VICTORY BY SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE



 

 

Beloved, you need a brutal fighting spirit to break out from whatever curse that is limiting you. You need to let satan know that you know your right; that you owe him nothing.

SCRIPTURE: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no victory without a fight.

It has been confirmed that it takes fight to take a flight in life. In the same manner, freedom from the grip of curses does not happen by chance, it also takes a fight. In our journey of unveiling the ways of deliverance, today, we are looking at Resisting the Enemy.

Beloved, you need a brutal fighting spirit to break out from whatever curse that is limiting you. You need to let satan know that you know your right; that you owe him nothing. If the devil has tied you down in life, you need a fight at the place of prayer and worship to take a flight (Matthew 11:12). The truth is, there is no victory without violence. Jacob had victory in life, his capacity was enlarged and his name was changed when he engaged in a fight (Genesis 22:24-28).

Beloved, you have to make up your mind that your life cannot continue the way it has been; something must change and determine not to give up until everything changes.

Now, what happens when we resist the devil? 

1. The devil flees. The enemy cannot resist those who resist him.

2. You enjoy the help of God. God supplies strength to those who agree to fight. (Isaiah 28:5-6).

I prophesy the impartation of the spirit of violence (in the spirit) upon you; every level of spiritual violence, aggression, forcefulness you need to bury the devil and his agenda is released upon you. The last time you suffered defeat shall be the last forever.

Remember this: There is no victory without a fight.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Resist the devil now; what you don’t resist will persist.

2. Determine to be violent in the spirit; spiritual violence is legal.

3. Pick up scriptural missiles and fire them against the devil; refuse to bow to any pressure from the enemy. 

PRAYER: Lord, enforce Your Will in my life. I take authority over every satanic agenda against my life. satan the Blood of Jesus is against you, in Jesus’ Name.

BELIEVING THE WORD OF GOD AND REJECTING THE LIES OF THE ENEMY



 

 

Beloved, it does not matter what the situation is, believe what God says and you will see it come to pass.

SCRIPTURE: In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. Jeremiah 31:29

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Refusal is a force. 

Yesterday, we saw one of the ways of deliverance from curses which was receiving the Word. Today we shall be looking at other ways of deliverance.  

1. Believing the Word of God. This is believing absolutely whatever God says and relying on Him totally for the fulfilment of His Word concerning your life and destiny. 

Beloved, it does not matter what the situation is, believe what God says and you will see it come to pass.

2. Living in the Reality of the Truth. What is the reality? The reality is, you owe the devil nothing, you were not there when the devil made a transaction with your father or forefathers, and so, you cannot bear the consequences of their iniquity (Jeremiah 31:29). The reality is, the blessing came before the curse. The reality is, you are the seed of Abraham, and if Abraham escaped the negativity of his father’s house, you have escaped too.

3. Reject the Lies of the Enemy

Beloved, take sides with the truth irrespective of the contrary evidence the devil is trying to show you. The truth is, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent takes it by force (Matthew 11:12).  So, reject the lies of the enemy. Hebrew 11:24 says that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. Refusal is a force; it made Moses escape, and the destiny of the Egyptians could not be his destiny.

Remember this: Refusal is a force.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Always believe that you cannot be under any curse as a child of God.

2. Consciously reject every statement that is contrary to the Word of God concerning your life.

PRAYER: O Lord, thank You for Your good plans for my life. I reject every pronouncement against my life and destiny by the Blood of Jesus. Only the counsel of God shall stand in my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

THE DELIVERANCE POWER OF THE WORD



 

 

By Christ’s Blood, you changed family lineage; you are now in the family of God, so the curse in your family cannot locate you. 

SCRIPTURE: He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalms 107:20

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Word of God is a deliverance tool.

Previously, we saw in detail the various scriptural bases for deliverance from curses. 

Now, we are going to x-ray the various ways of receiving deliverance, and today, we are looking at Receiving the Word.

Our anchor scripture says, He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. The Word of God is a deliverance tool. The Word of God is truth (John 17:17) and the knowledge of truth is the guarantee of freedom (John 8:32), including freedom from curses. The truth is, deliverance is more easily realised through the Word than prayer.

John 8:32 says, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you free. People used to read it as: And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall SET you free. No! It is ‘…the truth shall MAKE you free’ To make is to manufacture, so when you know the truth, the truth shall construct you into freedom; and that freedom is irreversible.

And truth is, by Christ’s Blood, you changed family lineage; you are now in the family of God, so the curse in your family cannot locate you. 

Now, what is the aim of the Word? 

1. The Word is light and light scatters darkness (John 1:1-5).

2. The Word is truth (John 17:17), and truth guarantees freedom (John 8:32).

3. And the Word carries force (Job 6:25).

The Word carries force and the force comes to effect motion and change. Force is the weapon for change.

Beloved, if you need an irreversible deliverance, go for revelational light from the scripture. 

Remember this: The Word of God is a deliverance tool. 

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Study the Word of God, continuously pull out revelations and let them saturate your spirit unto a victorious living.

2. Believe the truth in God’s Word, not the situation around you.

3. Make demands on the sent Word of God concerning your life.

PRAYER: O Lord, I wait on You. Send Your Word into my life and let it shift me into higher dimensions of liberty, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

THE POWER OF REDEMPTION AND DELIVERANCE FROM CURSES


 

 

Beloved, by virtue of redemption, your deliverance from curses is mandatory (1 Peter 1:18).

SCRIPTURE: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: By virtue of redemption, your deliverance from curses is mandatory.

The scripture makes it abundantly clear that Christ died not only to redeem us from death, but also to deliver us from curses. You were redeemed from the curses of life by the precious Blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish and without spot. You were rescued from the bloodline of your father’s lineage and given another bloodline called the Blood of Jesus. So, the blood that matters for you now is not your blood or your parent’s blood but the Blood of Jesus Christ. And we overcame the devil by the Blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony. (Rev. 12:11).

Beloved, by virtue of redemption, your deliverance from curses is mandatory (1 Peter 1:18).

This implies that if for instance, people do not marry on time in your natural bloodline; you will marry on time because you have a spiritual bloodline now. Maybe people die before their time in your natural bloodline, but in this spiritual bloodline, the order according to the Words of Christ is: no one taketh my life from me, I have the power to lay it down and to take it again (John 10:17-18). And truly they could not take His life; He laid it down for the sins of the world and on the third day, he took it up; He resurrected in victory.

I prophesy to you today, you have escaped the curse; you cannot die like others die in your family or lineage, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: By virtue of redemption, your deliverance from curses is mandatory.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Always believe that your case is different.

2. Walk in the light of this revelation and let the insight you have received guide your moves.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the privilege of connection with a superior Bloodline, the Blood of Jesus. Anything that cannot stop Jesus Christ cannot stop me, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

By virtue of the prophetic, deliverance from curses is mandatory.

SCRIPTURE: In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Jeremiah 31:29

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You owe the devil nothing.

Yesterday we commenced a journey of exploring the scriptural bases for deliverance from curses, and today, we are going to look at another basis for deliverance. A major scriptural basis for deliverance from curses is the prophetic. By virtue of the prophetic, deliverance from curses is mandatory.

Now, the prophets are those who speak into the destiny of God’s people and the prophetic is the declaration of God into the future of His people. So, the prophetic is the declared future for God’s people.

For instance, Ezekiel 18:20 says, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

God is saying that what your father did cannot affect you. That is to say even if your father was an occult person, armed robber or killer; or your mother was a water priestess or witch; their wickedness shall be upon them only and not you. So, if the devil is looking for the wickedness of your father in order to bring his punishment on you, let him meet your father, even to the grave, and settle with him there because as a child of God, you owe the devil nothing.

In Jeremiah 31:29, the Bible says that they shall say no more that the fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. No more! 

Beloved, you cannot bear the consequences of your father’s transactions with the devil; you owe the devil nothing.

Remember this: You owe the devil nothing.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Always believe the report of the Lord concerning your life.

2. Speak the Word of God into your life consistently. 

PRAYER: Father, thank You for countering generational curses and establishing me in liberty by Your Word. On the grounds of this liberty, I owe the devil nothing, in Jesus’ Name!

THE ESCAPE ROUTES FROM CURSES



 

The blessing of God was on ground before the curses of life came; the blessing preceded the curse; light existed before darkness. 

SCRIPTURE: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Mentality determines reality.

Previously, we saw the various origins of the curse which were personal iniquity or wickedness, parental iniquity or wickedness, occult or witchcraft involvement, enchantment and divination. 

It has been confirmed that truth guarantees freedom. So, today we are going to explore scriptural truths that act as the bases for deliverance from curses. 

Now, what are the bases for deliverance?

1. Creation

By virtue of creation, deliverance from curses is mandatory. Genesis 1:28 says, And God blessed them….So, the blessing of God was on ground before the curses of life came; the blessing preceded the curse; light existed before darkness. This implies that the transaction of your parents and ancestors that tried to implicate you with curses only came after you had been blessed by God at creation.

2. The Covenant

By virtue of the covenant, deliverance from curses is mandatory.

Before God made a covenant with Abraham, there was a trinity of calamity in his family – dying before time, starting without finishing and living without relevance (Genesis 11:25-32), but after the covenant, that chain of calamity was broken (Genesis 12:1-5).

Galatians 3:13-14 says, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on us through Jesus Christ… 

And what is the blessing of Abraham? It is living above generational curses, surviving where your father could not survive, and achieving what your father could not achieve.

Beloved, mentality determines reality. You need a change of mind-set to have a change of life; you need to believe that by connecting with the blessing of Abraham through Christ, you cannot be under any ancestral curse.

I take authority over every curse, spirit of limitations and setbacks. In the Name that is above every name, anything that stopped your father cannot stop you.

Remember this: mentality determines reality.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Live with the mind-set that you cannot be under any curse because you are in Christ Jesus.

2. Study the life of Abraham and follow his principles.

3. Reject every pronouncement over your life that is contrary to the scripture irrespective of who made it.  

PRAYER: Father, thank You for setting me free from every curse by the Blood of Jesus Christ. I am unstoppable! What stopped my father cannot stop me, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic:THE DANGER OF CONSULTING OTHER gods



Beloved, occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction; it is another origin of curses. Whatever gives you an image to bow to; whatever gives you a point of contact to relate with is involving you in the occult realm.

SCRIPTURE: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:31

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction.

Sometime ago, a man testified in one of our church services about how he was invited somewhere by someone who wanted to show him how to make quick money. The place he went to did not look evil but the first thing they asked him to bring was a cock, and when he brought the cock, his father died. They demanded for the second cock and when he brought it, his mother died. He brought the third cock, and another member of his family died, but his condition remained the same – no prosperity. Then, he realized that the cocks he had taken there for sacrifice represented the members of his family and he decided to run for his life.

Beloved, occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction; it is another origin of curses. Whatever gives you an image to bow to; whatever gives you a point of contact to relate with is involving you in the occult realm. Consulting native or witch doctors and involvement with the occult invite a curse. People may tell you: “You don’t have to come to the native doctor yourself; send us money, let’s do something for you.” Now, that is a trap. Do not send a dime no matter how terrible the situation is because it is an invitation unto curse and destruction.

Another origin of the curse is enchantment and divination. This is the situation where someone is limited in life by satanic enchantment. Many people are in affliction because an agent of darkness is making enchantment against them, but I decree upon your life today: every enchantment and divination against your life and destiny is neutralized by the Blood of Jesus.

Remember this: Occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Refuse to consult other gods; refuse to be involved in the occult and witchcraft.

2. Repent and disconnect yourself from every form of evil.

3. Make demands on the Blood of Jesus for the termination of every spell of limitation around your life.

PRAYER: O Lord, cause Your light to shine into my life and terminate every darkness around me. I command every spell or enchantment against my life, family and destiny to catch fire, in Jesus’ Name.

Smallness is Not Godliness – By Pastor David Ibiyeomie





TOPIC: Smallness is Not Godliness


It is not the will of God for you to be small.

Jeremiah 30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

So God is saying that as He multiplies us, He will glorify us. Smallness therefore, is not godliness. To be small does not make you look like God at all. God wants you big. Not all winners in life sweat to win. Covenant abundance means you do not sweat to succeed. There is a difference between hard work and hard life.

Adam never lived in lack until he fell. Jesus, the second Adam, never knew any lack all through His life here on earth. In times of challenges and lack, He knew what to do as He did in the incident of the feeding of the 5,000 in John 6. What Adam lost to satan, Jesus recovered to us. However, enjoying it is conditional. Jesus said,

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

If you do not know the truth, hardship continues! Ignorance therefore is the reason why many are still in lack. Because the Bible says;

Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

The Amplified Bible renders it this way; “But the way of the ignorant is hard.” So hardship is a function of ignorance. If you are passing through any kind of hardship, the reason is because you are ignorant.

Isaiah 5:13 Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Lack of knowledge is the reason why many Christians are passing through hardship; not because of the economy of the country. If it so, why are others prospering? I want you to know that hardship is not strange. Our covenant fathers saw famine in their days but in the midst of it, they prospered (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). If you know what to do in the midst of any hardship, you will come out on top. You can disappoint disappointments with knowledge. That is, when you know what to do, you can walk out of every disappointment.

For you to enjoy covenant abundance on your way to the top, sitting down to think is very important. Not just mere thinking, but productive thinking. Most times when Christians are facing a challenge, people are quick to ask them, “have you prayed?” rarely does anyone ask, “have you spent time to think about this issue?” Analytical thinking will bring you out of any hardship. There is a time to pray and a time to sit down and think.

Isaiah 30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

That is, stop running to unbelievers; that is not where the answer is. Your strength is in you sitting down to think. When people have financial challenge, their minds always run first to man, “maybe that my uncle can help me.” But I am challenging you to an approach that never ceases to work. Sit down and think! Handle issues productively. Sit down and use your brain to get the gain you desire.

Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

There is a great treasure inside of you but God will not give you all the answer until you sit down. You have put in all manner of prayer request everywhere, yet nothing has happened.

Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Every time you come to a cross-road, know that there is an answer somewhere and the answer is inside you not in your running around. I am not saying that prayer is not important; the church need to move on to productive thinking.

The prodigal son did not pray any prayer; he sat down to think and then he found the way out. Then he arose and moved out of abjectpoverty without prayers and no devil could stop him (Luke 15:17-20).

This is not just mere intellectual exercise but rubbing your mind with the Creator’s mind for divine inspiration that will bring you out of the situation you are in. That is not learnt in school. It is time to start reasoning. Begin now to engage the mind of Christ which you received at new birth.

Say to yourself, “I will start thinking.”

I command your mind to be open now in the precious name of Jesus! You will never be stranded again in life!

God bless you
