THEME: TIME FOR STOCK TAKING

TEXT: Psalm 130, Psalm 66:18

"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Corinthians 13:5)

The scripture recommends regular stock taking by all believers to ascertain if they are still in the faith. This is in view of the fact that many that have fallen out of faith; working for God but not walking with Him and manifesting gifts without the Giver, come to believe that they are still in the faith. Such examination provides room for correction. thereby saving the soul from eternal damnation. However, examining themselves will help them to see their wretchedness and repent.

The bible says if God should mark iniquities, who shall stand? There are 'little' things we feel are not sin and do not matter. But it is an obvious fact that such little details can send someone to hell fire except God intervene by His mercy. You must therefore find time on a regular basis to assess yourself and discover those areas you are not meeting up in your Christian life and then make the necessary amendments in case anything happens.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God my Father, I thank you for giving me the grace to see this day and which has enabled me to examine myself.

2. Your word says, "lf the Lord should mark iniquities, who shall stand"? In any way I have sinned against you knowingly and unknowingly, in your wrath; remember mercy. Do not judge me in your anger. Rather, let your mercy prevail, in Jesus' name.

3. Any bad luck, failure, disappointments following after my life; be terminated, in Jesus' name.

THEME: DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS SO THAT YOU MAY BE ESTABLISHED

"That I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established."

Whosoever wants to become established spiritually must receive the impartation of some spiritual gifts. These gifts will help you to become grounded in the word of truth.

THEME: GOD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU AND DEFEND YOU.

TEXT: Psalm 35, Psalm 83:17

MESSAGE:
"Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me." (Psalm 35:1)

Sometimes, enemies rise up against those who have done them no harm boasting and threatening to deal with them because of their money, connection and charms. When such situation arises, the safest move will be to invite God to take over the battle. He is a specialist in battle and never lost any. The Psalmist was a great warrior who fought many battles during his life. Yet, he understood that without God on his side, he would not be able to fight the battles of life. Right from his youth, he had seen the of power of God to wage wars as he received divine empowerment to tear to shreds both a lion and a bear.

What is the battle you are passing through in life and it appears as if the enemy is gaining upper hand? You must never allow your faith in God to wane. At that point when you seem to have exhausted your arsenal, expect the Holy Ghost to take control. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says. "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "Therefore, take it to the Lord in prayer. He will fight for you and give you victory on every front. All those that strive with you and fight against you, the Lord will cause them to submit. The scripture says they shall be as nothing. Therefore, you should be confident and develop the boldness to ask God to fight your battle. Remember, it is a spiritual battle and cannot be fought with cudgels and bottles.
Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
Every battle that I am passing through, Lord: fight for me and give me victory over all my enemies, in Jesus' name. Holy Spirit, wage war against all the powers of my father's house warring against me, in Jesus' name.

THEME: REAL CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE UNSHAKEABLE FAITH

TEXT: Esther 4:16, Daniel 3:13-30

MESSAGE:
"But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. " (Daniel 1 1 :32)

Today's Christians demonstrate the love of self first before the love of God. While the apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to be flogged because of the name of Christ, today's believers are afraid and dismayed that they are persecuted by people of the world. While the prayers of those before us were characterized by brokenness of spirit and contriteness of heart and with serious heart-felt groaning, those of today's believers are characterized by chewing gums, watching left and right and engaging in distractions such as pressing their mobile phones or picking calls during prayers. While those before us endured to receive God's promises for decades, today's believers are quick to seek for alternative sources of power any time there appears to be delay. The list is endless.

Serving God is not a bread and butter affair. It is a serious business — a true test of faith. Those that know the power of God are not afraid of death. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego demonstrated it as they told King Nebuchadnezzar that under no circumstance would they worship his god no matter the pressure — even if God fails to save them. And they stood by it. Esther decided that she was going to break official protocol even if it meant death for her. These are examples of those that knew their God and as Daniel declared, they did great exploits.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. By the power and authority in the name of Jesus Christ, I refuse to bow down to any idol or image of my father's house, in Jesus' name.

2. Any evil fire kindled against me, I command it to be quenched by the Son of God, in Jesus' name.

3. Any power addressing me as son/daughter; I am not your son/daughter. Be destroyed by fire, in Jesus' name.

THEME: ANY EVIL GANG UP AGAINST YOU MUST SCATTER

TEXT: Psalm 59:11-12, Psalm 144:6, Jeremiah 11:9
59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

11:9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

MESSAGE:
"12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. " (Acts 23:12-13)

It is not uncommon to see people ganging up against the children of God — in their places of work, compounds where they live and where they do their business — sometimes to persecute them, run them down, malign them or to destroy them out rightly. In the case of Apostle Paul, certain Jews numbering about forty had come together and bound themselves under a curse vowing not to eat or drink until they kill him. What did he do to them? They did not have anything they laid their hand on except that he preached the word of God. But God did not allow their plan to succeed.

It is possible that someone might gang up with others vowing not to rest until they see your end. A stepmother in a bid to kill a Chosen stepson of hers connived with a native doctor and a few others. In the process, they shot several arrows of death which did not locate him, but located his fourteen sisters one after the other and killed all of them. But the conspiracy against the Chosen did not come to pass until they started dying one after the other beginning with native doctor. Because you are a Chosen, the gang up and conspiracy against you is sure to fail.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any evil conspiracy, gang-up, meeting conveyed in the air, land or sea, backfire, in Jesus' name. Any evil representation made concerning me; eye service, designed to blackmail me, I cancel it, in Jesus' name.

2. Anywhere they gather against me to discuss my matter with a view to hurting me; let them scatter, in Jesus' name.

THEME: TIME TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD

TEXT: Obadiah 17, 2 Chronicles 12:7, Jeremiah 15:20-21

1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

15:20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

15:21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. Jeremiah

"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. (Joel 2:32)

MESSAGE:
God is not a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19) Why has the above scripture become relevant here? It offers us the opportunity to scrutinize the credential of He that has made the promise. He is the God of all flesh and nothing is too hard for Him. (Jeremiah 32:27) Whatever He says He will do, that is exactly what He will do. No man can stop Him. (Isaiah 43:13) now, He has promised that whosoever shall call upon His name shall be delivered. Therefore, every right thinking believer must seize the opportunity provided through His word and begin to call Him.

However, we must not profane His name. Rather, we should call it in righteousness and holiness for effective results. 2 Chronicles 7:14 states, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. " You must therefore humble yourself before God, reconcile with Him and turn away from sin and evil. It is then that He will answer your prayers.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God, I bless your name this day for the privilege of being among the living. I call upon your name asking that you preserve me from all evil. Protect and guide me from evil plan of the wicked, in Jesus' name.

2. Father, as I seek your face, may I find you. Give me the enabling grace and power to humble myself and turn away from every wicked character trait, in Jesus' name.

3. Any problem standing against me; with the blood of Jesus, I sue them to the court of heaven. Judge them and give me victory on every side, in Jesus' name.

THEME: IT CAN ALSO BE IMPUTED TO YOU AS RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: Romans 4:18-21
4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

MESSAGE
"23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. " (Romans 4:23-25)

It was imputed unto Abraham as righteousness having believed in God without looking back. He did not consider his physical body which was already 'dead' by the reason of age or the womb of his which was also past its prime. The only thing that mattered to him was that God had said something. Though the promised had spanned two decades and five years, he was not bothered. To him, as far as the Word had proceeded from the mouth of God, He will surely do as He promised. At the end of the day, the long wait was justified and his faith rewarded as that was enough to count him as being righteous.

What about you? God has made several promises to you by His word. How much do you believe him? If you truly believe, it shall also be counted to you as righteousness. The kind of faith which Abraham demonstrated has become like a scarce commodity. A woman that got married three years ago and still has no child does not believe in the promise of God and has bowed to pressures to visit shrines and native doctors' homes in search of children. Hardly is anybody patient; everyone wants it in a hurry. I do not know the particular promise of God you are looking unto concerning your life or how long you have waited, take a cue from Abraham who hoped against hope. He that has promised is well able. He will do it for you.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O Lord God my Father, I ask that you release upon my life the spirit of righteousness. Give me the virtue of patience that I might be able to pass through difficult times. Give me the spirit of discernment to understand the times and seasons when I am passing through wilderness experience, chastisement and persecution that I remain in the faith, in Jesus' name.

THEME: DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO DECEIVE YOU

TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 1 John 1:8.
2:3 Let no man deceive yo by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

MESSAGE:
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. " Colossians 2:8

We are in the last days. The spirit of the anti-Christ is fully manifested and seeking for those to draw away. Believers are therefore warned to be aware and to be prayerful so that no one deceives them. They can come with such issues as Holy Communion to draw you away by claiming that without it you will not make heaven. Be careful. One thing that is sure to make you enter heaven is your relationship with God.

Many satanic prophets have arisen who can help you see tomorrow. But the falsity of their claims comes to the fore as they have no solution to all their visions and prophecies. They are targeting your wallet. They will tell you that enemies are after you as if the bible did not say so. It is not a secret. So, do not give them your money and land documents because they have 'revealed' to you that you have enemies. Many of such places have their foundations in the marine kingdom and their aim is to tie as many as are not on the alert with more problems and cause them to compromise their faith and miss heaven at last. No matter how long you have waited, be patient with God and He will answer you, deliver and heal you, in Jesus' name.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

1. Any power assigned to deceive me and cause me to backslide or be discouraged; be destroyed, in Jesus's name. Any spirit of the world working in my life and standing against the word of God; be destroyed. Any power raising arguments in my heart, working to bring down my faith and bring about distraction during pastor's preaching; be ousted by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus' name.

2. Any spirit behind eating and drinking and neglecting reading the word of God; be destroyed, in Jesus name. Lord, increase my faith and commitment and level of righteousness, in Jesus' name.

Text: Job 5:22, Psalm 33:19, Psalm 37:19, John 16:33
5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

MESSAGE:
"And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for four score pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver." (2 Kings 6:25)

It is very glaring that there is famine in the land. Many people are groaning under the weight of inflation. There is now a higher level of crime than was before. There is crisis everywhere because things have turned upside down. Survival has become too difficult. The bible foresaw it as Jesus said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

In spite of the economic situation in the land, the children of God will survive. No matter the cost of fuel, rice, tomatoes and transportation, God will make a way for His people. Philippians 4:19 states, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." God is ready to supply every need irrespective of the inflation and meltdown. All you need to do is to depend on Him; abide in Him.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God, your word says that in the time of destruction and famine, your people shall laugh. I stand upon the power in your word and I decree that this period of economic meltdown in our nation shall be a period of relief for my life and family and we shall laugh, in Jesus' name.

2. O God whose word is the absolute truth, confirm Your Word in my life today. Supply all my needs according to your riches in glory be Christ Jesus. Whatever I lay my hands upon in this season; may it prosper, in Jesus' name.

3. Any spirit of lack; every devourer assigned against my harvest; be uprooted in Jesus's name. Let the spirit of poverty of my father's house; be separated from me by fire, in Jesus' name. Any sacrifice performed against me with old penny or cowry shells as a way to bring lack upon my life: be destroyed, in Jesus name.

"He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth:for the LORD hath spoken it. " (Isaiah 25:1 )

The number of deaths recorded, on a daily basis is a proof that there is a calculated attempt by anti-Christ forces and their dark kingdoms to reduce the population of the world especially those that believe in Christ Jesus. That is why every Christian must pray earnestly against the program of the antiChrist. As a believer, you must be ready for intercession, supplication, petition and lamentation against every program of death targeted against you. If you fail to pray now, there might not be a better opportunity to do so. Therefore, get down to business.

Thank God for His faithfulness! He has already assured us that He will deal with the situation and pacify those who are victims of the enemy's arrows.

Any obituary poster in the spirit realm, containing my name or passport photograph; catch fire, in Jesus' name. Any sentence or judgment of death hanging upon my neck; be cancelled, in Jesus: name.

2. I stand upon the covenant of God with my pastor on behalf of the Chosen people and I decree and declare that I will never die a day before my death, in Jesus' name. I decree that I will not die by the gunshots of my enemy or armed robbers or stray bullets, in Jesus's name.

"And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. " (Matthew 2:

The destinies of many people whom God has created to be great, have been tampered with right from birth and they struggle to free themselves from endless rigours without any idea that it is the handiwork of the enemy. From that moment in their lives, every of their moves are monitored. Herod having heard about the prophecy that a Messiah was about to be born, whose kingdom and jurisdiction will cover the whole earth, began a man-hunt for the infant Jesus to destroy him. In a way to deceive the wise men into believing that he genuinely loved the arrival of Baby Jesus, he asked that they bring him word, "that I may come and worship him also, " as he said. He monitored proceedings until he discovered that the wise men had tricked him and returned to their base through another route.

Many women have given births to children in different hospitals only for the envious others, resident witches and wizards to monitor the progress of the newly born.

So long as God remains the same — loving, merciful, full of compassion, responsive and gracious, your matter will touch His heart and He will send you deliverance. He has delivered many people through this ministry. These are cases no medical doctor has any answer to. Many people with medically incurable diseases such H. I.

2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

MESSAGE:
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. " (Colossians 2:14)

The handwriting of ordinances represents ancestral agreements entered into with idol spirits and shrines ruling families and kindred. These agreements are usually marked on the walls of ancestral homes, but its influence and power goes beyond these homes and work powerfully even contemporarily. Demons assigned to enforce the details of these ordinances usually stand against people who do not implement the conditions spelt out in them and speak against them. They speak failure, disappointment, disfavour, rising/falling, poverty, limitation and spiritual embargoes against those that do not comply with these handwritings.

But thank God today that Jesus' death and resurrection has invalidated any handwriting of ordinances that was against mankind, and made them null and void and of no effect whatsoever. So, the demons assigned to enforce them have been disenfranchised by the manifestation of the Son of God who came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8-9).

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any evil handwriting, against my family (Mention the name of your family, your children, husband, wife, business, job, career and so on); be wiped away by the blood of Jesus Christ.

2. Any altar speaking against my life/destiny, I command you to be silent in darkness, in Jesus' name.

3. Any ancestral altar, marine spirit altar, witchcraft or occult altar demanding/requesting for blood sacrifice or any form of ransom, be cut off by fire, in Jesus' name.

THEME: PUT AWAY YOUR STRANGE GODS

TEXT: Hosea 2:13, Isaiah 3:15-26, Exodus 20:5

MESSAGE:
"2 Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. " (Genesis 25:2 4)

Worldliness is a great impediment when it comes to serving God in spirit and in truth. Jacob understood this fact as he bade his family members to put away their strange gods and change their garments and be clean. What garments? Today, these garments can be explained in terms of garment of sin—all the evil habits: the old man's nature. All these represent strange gods in the life of a believer. They include earrings as was in the case of Jacob's daughters. They rear pride and puff up the heart and so can inhibit serving God with all seriousness. More so, they can be instruments of seduction.

So, what are those strange gods in your life? Remember, they constitute those habits you cannot do without. For example, if you cannot do without make-up as a woman, the makeup becomes a strange god to you. It could be adultery, masturbation, lesbianism. homosexuality, pornography, smoking of cigarettes and taking hard drugs, drunkenness and other vices that are inimical to true worship. Check your life and put them away if you are to be a partaker of God's showers of blessing during this month and beyond. Any sin you are struggling with is a strange god that must be put away before it costs you God's showers and even eternity. Anger, envy, malice, bitterness of heart, hatred, complaining. murmuring. fighting and quarreling, stealing of any kind, robbery, duping, cheating, shedding innocent blood and so on - these are strange gods. Put them away.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any evil habit or character that has taken the place of God in my life, by the power of resurrection. I put you away, in Jesus name.

THEME: DO NOT BE AFRAID; EVEN IF THEY ARE SCORPIONS

TEXT: Exodus 14:14, Jeremiah 1:8
14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

MESSAGE:
"And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house." (Ezekiel 2:6)

It is amazing today how supposed children of God pack out of the houses they rented even before their rents expire because witches and wizards, occult men and women and those possessing marine spirit powers are after them. This they do by night and before people wake up, they are gone. Some move into new houses with plenty of goods only to sneak out with nylon bags. They allow themselves to be intimidated and enslaved and there is no evidence of the glory of God upon them.

Are you one of such people? If yes. the Lord has a word for you today: From now on, do not be afraid of them or their boasting and threatening — no matter who they are or what they do. You are chosen by the Lord and therefore, your case is different. If they are from the kingdom of scorpions, the Lord is saying: Do not be afraid of their words; do not be downcast because of how they squeeze their faces. The Lord will fight for you and visit them in His indignation.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any power assigned to intimidate me, I bind you; I bind your powers. All the briers and thorns set against me; in the name of Jesus, I jump and pass over them. Any kingdom of scorpions raging against me: be destroyed, in Jesus' name.

2. Every spirit of fear assigned to sap my courage; be destroyed. I declare all their intimidation, threats and boasting as nothing before my God. Let them be disappointed, in Jesus' name.

3. Any fear of the devil in my life; be uprooted, in Jesus' name.

4. Anywhere my spirit is in servitude or imprisonment; break by thunder and fire. I command you to open on your own accord. in Jesus name.

THEME: DON'T SOW AMONG THE THORNS

TEXT: Isaiah 35:8-10, Jeremiah 12:13
35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

35:9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

12:13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

MESSAGE:
"For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns." (Jeremiah 4:3)

Fallow ground represents those endeavours that have no depth. Sowing on such grounds does not guarantee plentiful harvest. The risk is that the seeds sown on fallow grounds have no deep roots and so might not germinate. Sowing on a fallow ground is the same as sowing among thorns because the seeds will be choked before they find space to sprout of the ground. The concept of fallow ground and sowing among the thorns depict limitation and stagnation. Naturally, when one sows on a fallow ground, the harvest is barely enough; same for sowing among thorns since most of the seed will be choked before maturity.

That was the spiritual condition of the men of Jerusalem and Judah and which would not allow them to be grounded and fully integrated into the program of God for them and which might ultimately lead them towards being ostracised. The Lord is equally speaking to contemporary men and women to circumcise their hearts before His anger falls on them and they cannot be able to quench it. Therefore, you must devise means to ensure that you dig deeper into the ground spiritually, so that your seed will find depth. At the same time, ensure not to sow among thorns so that they don't choke before they mature. These are issues that have to be addressed spiritually.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Every fallow ground in my life; be broken in Jesus' name. Every seed already sown among thorns, in the name of Jesus, I retrieve you. O God, help me to circumcise my heart, in Jesus name. Any void or vacuum in my life; be filled by the spirit of God, in Jesus' name.

2. Any representation of the yoke of limitation, stagnancy and delay in my life; be broken, in Jesus' name. Every program of demotion orchestrated by the devil; scatter. in Jesus name.

THEME: THE SWORD OF GOD IS DANGLING AGAINST THE LEVIATHAN

TEXT: Ezekiel 29:3
29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

"In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea." (Isaiah 27:1)

The leviathan is of the species of serpents. Spiritually, its ways are crooked and can hardly be dealt with except with a strong sword. No wonder, the Lord has promised to punish it with a strong sword as well as slay the dragon that is in the sea. Both the leviathan and dragon and contemporarily the python, represent spiritual wickedness in the marine world. These include the activities of marine spirit husband and wife, queen of the coast, prince of the air, marine witchcraft and marine altars — including native doctors. God says He is against them and so will destroy them.

I do not know the leviathan — the crooked serpent that is responsible for failure, rising/falling, disappointment, delay, barrenness, poverty, stagnancy, limitations, spiritual embargoes, bad-luck. rejection and so many other undesirable situations in your life. One sure promise today is that the Lord is set to punish them. That is the area you are going to channel your prayer; that the punishment of God be meted out to them and the kingdom that sent them. That way, you will be able to enjoy God's showers of blessing which He will release upon your life, in Jesus' name.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any serpentine spirit assigned from the sea against my destiny, family, progress and business; I bind you and bind your powers. The Lord has slated you for punishment. Therefore, I command destruction upon you by fire. You leviathan, dragon or python, catch fire, in Jesus' name.

2. Any power from the air, land or sea, which has been swallowing my prayers; today is your end. Every prayer you have swallowed, I command you to vomit them and catch fire. Every blessing you have stolen: let them be restored unto me, in Jesus' name.

THEME: EXPECT SHOWERS!

TEXT: Jeremiah 3:3
3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a LovePeddler's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

MESSAGE:
"And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing." (Ezekiel 34:26)

This was a promise God made to His people during the time of Prophet Jeremiah; when the shepherds could not feed the sheep. They allowed the sheep to go astray. God promised to give them pastors after His own heart who will feed them with the right words. God has called me into his service.

Having done this, the expectation therefore is that the promise of Showers is a reality and must surely come to pass. All we need to do is to be in expectation. Expectation does not mean folding of hands and watching for the showers to come in through the windows. We shall be in expectation through fasting, praying (interceding, making supplications and petitions), sowing seed of faith, making vows and pledges and redeeming them and then waiting patiently for God to send the showers. Remember, it is God that determine the direction of the showers — sound health, long life, financial breakthrough, promotion at workplace or in business and so on.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Father, you promised to make me a blessing and cause the showers to come down at the right time. Knowing that your word is the absolute truth, I stand by it and command showers of blessing upon my life, family. business, marriage, career and ministry, in Jesus' name.

2. Whatever the enemy has programmed to hinder your blessing; be cut off. Any evil family tree hindering the showers of blessing upon my life; be uprooted from your very foundation, in Jesus name. Anywhere they have used black cloth to cover my destiny/glory; let the kingdom be destroyed. Let the black cloth catch fire, in Jesus' name.

THEME: ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LORD THY GOD

TEXT: Psalm 106:7
106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

MESSAGE:
"34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side: 35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shoved unto Israel. " (Judges 8:34-35)

The children of Israel were negligent to the point that they did not remember the Lord their God in spite of everything that He did for them neither did they show kindness to the family of the vessel whom God used to deliver them. While accuse them for being careless, believers of today are proving to be more careless. With the advent of science and technology, they see many things as being products of man's creativity than God's grace. They hardly applaud testimonies except those of contracts running into millions and billions.

Many seem unhappy with God. Sometimes, they are angry with God because they feel He has not given them money. This reflects in lateness to church services. lukewarm-ness, nonchalant and lackadaisical attitudes to the things of God — as if they are being dragged to serve God. The same cannot be said of their attitude towards home videos, eating or drinking. This is the time to remember God in everything you do. He is the source of life; without Him there is no life.

Father, I give you all the glory for everything you have done for me, in Jesus' name.

2. Every spiritual weakness, lukewarm attitude, negligence, lackadaisical and uncommitted Christian life; be halted by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name. Any backsliding spirit that has gained access into my life: be ousted by the Spirit of God, in Jesus name.

3. Every plant my heavenly Father has not planted; be uprooted, in Jesus' name. Every seed of ingratitude and non-appreciation of the gifts and blessings of God upon my life: be uprooted, in Jesus' name.

6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

MESSAGE:
"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. "(1 Samuel 1:3)

One of the greatest undoing of contemporary believers is their inability to diversify when it is most needed. Imagine a situation where someone has prayed concerning a matter over a long period of time without receiving answers. Such person needs to take time out and reflect: What has gone wong? Where there still no answer? Why are things the way they are? And many more questions like these! You need to make a sincere appraisal of your prayer strategy and overall Christian life and discover those things that need to be done which you have left undone. Hannah had been going to Shiloh over the years with nothing to show for her efforts until she decided to make a vow.

What about you? You can still follow her example and obtain the same result. The truth is, if you need a different result from what you have been getting over the years, you must try to do things differently.

"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. " (Psalm 2:4)

God has brought us safely to the end of another month. This is something to be thankful for. But it is almost certain that the kingdom of darkness will not be happy for you or with you and might even be raging against you for escaping from all their evil plans against you. There is no need to be worried over how they feel or their next line of action. Why? He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Derision implies mockery. As the prophets of Baal called upon their god from morning till evening, there was no response and Elijah held them in derision and mocked them.

As they call your name in their kingdom, shrine, temple, inner chamber and coven; expecting you to appear on their mirror so that they will stab you with their daggers, the Lord will laugh. He knows all their antics and will allow them to waste all their energy and then frustrate them. Anywhere they will kindle fire on a native pot and put objects of sacrifice inside it and call your name as they turn the boiling pot, the Lord will have them in derision. The Lord will never allow them to rejoice over your life. Instead, by your prayer the Lord will hand over the enemies into thy hand as an inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. All that is required of you is to serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

MESSAGE
"Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways." (Psalm 128:2)

Those that fear the Lord are usually blessed because the Lord is favourably disposed towards them and things naturally work out for them. When they labour, they are rewarded and are happy and it is well with them. The family lives an organized life as the glory of God radiates upon them. Long life is their inheritance as they are assured of seeing their children's children. Generally, the peace and blessing of the Lord are upon it, Little wonder, the bible insists that the fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom — talking about the numerous benefits derivable from having the fear of God.

What is the fear here? It is to walk strictly according to commandment of God; being afraid to any one of them and to have the conscience to rue mistakes and violations. That is to say, someone has the fear of God, he strives very hard to keep the Word of God and his conscience condemns him/her when there is any error. Every believer is supposed to be ruled by that type of fear — not the fear of the devil, his demons and human agents. So, do you have the fear of God? Remember, it is not a gift. It is something that you must work out by reading, hearing the Word of God and keeping them, But if you do not have the fear of God, it means you are not yet His child. So, there is much work to be done as you stand to lose a lot.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

MESSAGE:
"And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews. "(Acts 6:1)

Many people murmur about a lot of things - the church, pastors, leaders and even the brethren. They murmur about the attitude of the brethren and sometimes stop coming to church. From there, they even backslide and cite the character of others as reason for their backsliding. Sometimes, their reason for murmuring may be genuine, but one obvious danger about murmuring is that it siphons the anointing - presence of the Holy Spirit. When someone murmurs and complains, the heart becomes defiled and polluted and therefore uninhabitable for the Spirit of God.

Murmuring can lead one to death and hell as we can see from the examples of the children of Israel that left Egypt with Moses. All those who were eighteen and above, that left Egypt with Moses, never entered the Promised Land - except Joshua and Caleb, because they murmured. They never entered into God's rest. In the same way, all those that murmur and complain, do not enter into testimonies because the condition of their hearts bars the Spirit of God from coming in to work in their lives. Avoid complaining and murmuring no matter how genuine your course might be.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God, I pray; purge my heart of complaining and murmuring, in Jesus' name.

25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

MESSAGE:
"Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. " (2 Chronicles 12:5)

When people forsake God, the consequences can be quite colossal. God will also forsake them and that will open the door for their enemies to attack and oppress them. The idea usually is not to destroy them out rightly, but to make them repent. If not, they will hardly repent. But when they are oppressed and led into captivity, they might retrace their steps because of the heavy burden the enemy will place upon them.

Are you like the children of Judah that forsook God and followed after their own ways — pursuing after money, career, job etc? If your answer is yes, you must then repent and humble yourself in order to avoid being forsaken by Him. Your humility, repentance and plea for mercy will provoke God's deliverance and cause the oppression of the devil over your life to come to an abrupt end. Don't forget: It is possible for someone to be a regular church goer but still not a committed believer. In that case, such individual has forsaken God and is vulnerable to all manner of attacks. You must pray fervently that God should restore your spiritual life.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God my Father, I humble myself before you and repent of all my sins. In any way that I have forsaken you; I ask that you show me mercy and forgive me all my sins, in Jcsus name.

2. Any monitoring power assigned against me spiritually to make sure I forget God and embrace the world, be destroyed, in Jesus name.

3. O God my Father, help me to abide in you that I might bear much fruit in Jesus' name.

THEME: GOD IS YOUR HELPER

TEXT: Psalm 121, Psalm 91:11-12
121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

MESSAGE:
"Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin. "(1 Chronicles 12:1-2)

David went into hiding because Saul was a big threat to his life. Notwithstanding, among the people that came to Ziklag with David, were mighty men who also doubled as helpers of war. These men had the capability to hurl stones and shoot arrows perfectly with two hands simultaneously. But one surprising thing is that they were from the tribe of Benjamin — even Saul's tribe. These were the men that came to help the cause of David.

Have you gone into hiding because witches and wizards are after your life? Or you have hired a bus to pack your load out of the compound you are living by night for the same reason? God has ready-made helpers of that can fight on your side. Your dwindling courage can hinder them. You must find courage and declare, "I know my redeemer liveth." So, come out from you hiding: believe God for His redeeming power and He will never disappoint you, in Jesus' name.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following points.

Prayer Points:
1. O God my Father, lay my burden in the hearts of my divine helpers, in Jesus' name. Whosoever you have designed to use to help me, use your ministering angels to begin to direct them towards my direction, in Jesus' name.

2. For any spiritual battle/war going on against me/my life; I ask for the release of mighty angels that double as helpers of war. Give them double swords of fire in their hands: with specific instruction to shoot at sight and cut every opposition standing against me without mercy, in Jesus' name.

THEME: IF GOD DIDN'T SAY IT, THEN IT IS NOT TRUE.

TEXT: Psalm 79:11
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die.

MESSAGE:
"...and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. " (1 Kings 19:4)

Elijah had just finished discomfiting the prophets of Baal and annihilated all 450 of them. He was supposed to be basking in the euphoria of his victory over them. Then suddenly Jezebel sent him a death threat. He ran away and was downcast and then began to ask for death. Notwithstanding, God did not heed to his request because He knew that it was not he that was speaking. Rather, another spirit had entered him — the spirit of suicide; of discouragement and defeat.

Elijah appeared to have been overwhelmed by the problem confronting him at that time and so, made a rash decision to throw in the towel. He did not see any need to fight on until the angel arrived and urged him to eat and strengthen himself in the Lord because the assignment ahead of him was enormous. There are times when you find yourself at crossroads, overwhelmed by life's difficulties and not knowing what to do. Do you decide to just sign off like Elijah did? One thing you must know is that if God has not spoken, you have no right to accept the devil's ministration. That voice speaking death, discouragement and defeat, is not of God and so, is not true.

Sing spirit filled songs unto God and thank Him for everything He has accomplished in your life and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any altar of my father's house, marine spirit altar, witchcraft altar or occult altar speaking death, discouragement and defeat over my life; in the name of Jesus I command you to be silent in darkness, in Jesus' name. Any evil voice assigned to deceive me into accepting a death sentence; speak no more, in Jesus' name.

2. Any problem of life on the verge of overwhelming me or compelling me to give up; in the name of Jesus, I overcome that problem. Father, Your Word says, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."

THEME: WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER, SLEEP NO MORE?

TEXT: Psalm 121:3-4, Proverbs 24:33
121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

24:33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

MESSAGE:
"How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? " (Proverbs 6:9)

It is an unpleasant surprise that in spite of all the 'noise' making the rounds everywhere, many believers are sleeping. What noise? The rapture, manifestation of the anti-Christ, fulfilment of end-time prophecies and the general anarchy enveloping the nation and the world, are enough reasons for every right thinking believer to wake up from his/her slumber. These are events that are supposed to put fear in the heart of everybody and cause people to begin to make recourse to God. Yet, many are insensitive. It is worrisome.

Have you not slept enough? This is not just a period of sober reflection, but also a period of intensive intercession and supplication. Of course, without recourse to prayer, the anti-Christ operation that is already in full swing will produce many casualties. It is already happening. But if we pray, God will counter their program against you; against the church and against all the believers worldwide. Within the context of the three-fold vision, we the Chosen are instruments in the hand of God to stop the anti-Christ. Therefore, get ready put on the whole armour of God as we go full throttle.

Sing a few warfare songs, thank God for yet another day and then take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any spirit assigned to cause sleeping and slumbering; to weaken my spiritual life; be destroyed, in Jesus' name. Every spiritual weakness and laziness in my life; be uprooted by the Holy Ghost. Any power assigned to bring me down; to cause backsliding; let the Holy Ghost destroy that power.

2. You make your ministers to be fire. Therefore, O God, re-ignite your revival fire in my life. Consecrate me afresh, rekindle the earlier zeal upon my life and make me to be a veritable instrument for the actualization of our three-fold vision and mandate, in Jesus' name.

3. I join my faith with my daddy in the Lord and with all the Chosen people worldwide to counter every anti-Christ program to sweep away the church and Christianity, in Jesus' name.
