THEME: YOUR GIFT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE WAY FOR YOU

MEMORY VERSE: "The gift of a man maketh room for him, And before the great it leadeth him. " (Proverbs 18:16)

MESSAGE:
Up till today, many people are still groping in darkness not knowing what to do. They jump from one area of life to the other not knowing that God has deposited certain individual capabilities that will help them realize their dreams. God has given every man gifts from which to profit. It is that gift that will help you to reach your goal.

So, have you bothered to find out what gifts God has deposited inside of you? That business is not working - not because you are not making enough efforts, but rather because you are working outside your destiny. The truth is that if you fail to work according to your destiny, you will struggle and labour to make it. Yet, you will find it difficult, if not impossible to make any headway. But if you if you work in line with your destiny, the sky will be your limit.

Sing a few praise/worship songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.

Prayer points:
1. Any gift lying fallow in my life, manifest by fire, in Jesus' name.

2. Any of my gifts which the enemy has tampered with, receive activation, in Jesus' name.

3. O ye my gifts, begin to pave way for me, in Jesus' name.

4. Let my gifts begin to attract divine connections that will eventually pave way for me, in Jesus' name.

5. I command my gifts to lead me to great heights in life, in Jesus' name.

6. Any spirit of indecision working against my progress, catch fire, in Jesus name.

7. Let the power of witches and wizards working against my life and destiny be destroyed. in Jesus name.

THEME: GOD WILL TROUBLE YOUR TROUBLERS.

TEXT: 1 KINGS 18

MEMORY VERSE: “I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore, nor the hoofs of the beasts trouble them.” (Ezekiel 32:13)

MESSAGE:
There are many people who take delight in persecuting the people of God. God is always favorably disposed towards dealing with them. Therefore, whoever troubles the people of God shall receive many troubles. God does not fold His hands and watch the enemies to trouble His people. He only allows them when they will serve as raw materials and stepping stones to your testimonies. So, if the enemy has been ravaging your life, do not despair any further. Reprieve is coming your way. God says he will trouble them that trouble you.

Of course, Ahab and his wife troubled Israel though they turned back to accuse Prophet Elijah of being the one that troubled Israel. (1 kings 18:17-18). At the end of the day, the enemies of righteousness received more troubles than they bargained for. There is no doubt about it: because you are a chosen of the Lord, those that trouble you shall be troubled. I do not know exactly the man or woman that is troubling your life, career, business, marriage, but I am convinced that many troubles await them.

Sing praise/worship with one or two warfare songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:

1. O Lord my Father, give trouble to them that trouble me, in Jesus’ name.

2. Any trouble lying in wait for me, scatter in Jesus' name.

3. Any power (mention them- whether ancestral, marine spirit, witchcraft powers) troubling my life, receive destruction, in Jesus' name.

4. Any kingdom or shrine or temple or coven of witches and wizards planning to bring trouble upon my life, let them be destroyed, in Jesus' name.

THEME: WATCH YOUR BACK!

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:15
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

MEMORY VERSE : "The thief cometh not; but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy. (John 10:10a)


MESSAGE:
The truth is that the enemy is always saddened by your fruitfulness, increase, multiplications promotion, lifting and advancement. That is to say that any time you are happy the enemy is sad. Naturally, his sadness over your joy can propel him to begin to see you as an enemy and then begin to work against you. So, at this point in time there is every need for you to watch your back. Remember. the scripture assures saying, "Surely they must gather"

Your fruitfulness and multiplication is something that can make the kingdoms against you to hold high level meetings on how to dislodge you and steal what God has given unto you. This meeting is something you must never allow to be convened. Even if you have given chance for the meeting to hold, you must never allow decisions taken during the nights to come to pass. What must you do then? You must wake up from your sleeping and slumbering. You have slept enough while adversaries are plotting how to remove your head. The scripture says, "The night is far spent." You must therefore keep watch through prayer.

Sing praise/worship with one or two warfare songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Any arrow of wickedness fired into my life to dislodge me. let the arrow return back to the senders in the name of Jesus Christ.

2. Any monitoring mirror the enemy is using to monitor my life in order to divert my blessing let the mirror scatter by thunder, in Jesus' name.

3. Anywhere they are holding evil meeting against my life, let the place catch fire, in Jesus' name.

4. Anywhere they have conjured my image into a bottle, let thunder scatter the bottle and cause the image to catch fire, in Jesus' name.

MEMORY VERSE: "And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. "(1 Sam 25:38)

MESSAGE:
It is always good to appreciate good things. Unfortunately, many people find it difficult to appreciate good gestures not to talk of reciprocating them. However, one thing they fail to understand is that there could be grave consequences attached to the act of ingratitude.

David's men were kind to Nabal in that they helped keep his sheep in the bush that nothing was lost But he never deemed it right to show any form of appreciation. Rather, he despised them. His wife knew the consequences and rallied round on a face-saving mission. Notwithstanding, the Lord visited Nabal according to his deeds. God has been magnanimous in His dealings with you. How have you responded?

Sing praise/worship with one or two warfare songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:

5. As Abraham was blessed in all things, let the blessings of God come upon me, in Jesus' name.

TEXT: Isaiah 10:27, Obadiah 1:17

"(Isaiah 49:25-26)

MESSAGE:
No matter the type of terrible captivity or bondage the enemy has exercised over your destiny such that your life has become stagnated and there is no fruitfulness and multiplication, God assures that He will deliver you; contend with them that contend with you and even go ahead to save your children. Those who are conversant with the promises of God know that they never fail. For that reason, your enemies are in trouble.

TEXT: Matthew 11:28
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

MEMORY VERSE: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. " (Luke 2:52)

MESSAGE:
If making it in life is by labour, then all the people pushing wheel-barrows would have become billionaires. The reason is because they expend so much energy laboring from morning till night. But since making it is not by labour they work so hard, but have very little to show for all their efforts.

Have you been laboring so much and have little to show for it. Labour no more! What you actually need is not to labour, but you need the favour of God that comes through grace.

5. I key into the favour of God that is found in Christ Jesus and I begin to command favour to come upon my life. in Jesus' name.

6. Every laboring in my life cease; let the favour of God begin to manifest, in Jesus' name.

THEME: HUMILITY IS NECESSARY

TEXT: GALATIANS 5:22
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.

MEMORY: If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 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. 2 CHRONICLES 7:13-14

MESSAGE:
Apart from prayer and repentance, humility is a major pre- requisite to draw heaven’s attention. By humbling oneself, God is moved to hear prayer, forgive sins and heal lives and economies. So, what lesson do we draw from the above admonition? God hates pride and haughtiness. When proud and haughty people pray, they cannot get heaven’s attention. Why? The reason is because they have not humbled themselves. God resist the proud and give grace to the humble.

From the above, you can see the danger in pride and haughtiness and the gains of humility. Therefore, no matter how the table has turned against you, there is something that can turn it around even more quickly: humility.

Sing praise/worship with one or two warfare songs. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.
Prayer Points:
1. O God, sanctify my spirit, soul and body. Give me the grace for inner
purity, in Jesus’ name.

2. I come against the spirit of pride and haughtiness assigned to derail
my salvation, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, I ask that you give me a broken spirit and a contrite heart, in
Jesus name.

4. Let the fruits of the spirit begin to manifest in my life, in Jesus’ name.

5. O God my Father, I ask that you heal my life and economy, in Jesus’
name.

THEME: YOUR SOURCE OF STRENGTH MEANS A LOT

TEXT: PROVERBS 5:3-5
3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

MEMORY VERSE "1 can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. " (Philippians 4:13)


MESSAGE:
What is it that you have been trying to do all these years without any success? Yet, there are many others that have accomplished quite a lot though they have been confronted with greater oppositions. The source of your strength matters a lot. That will determine the extent of your accomplishments. Knowing the source of your strength can be a morale booster or a demoralizer. Those whose strength is in the Lord can do all things, but those who depend on other sources for strength can do nothing.
No man can give what he does not own. God is the source of all strength and power and as many as run unto Him for strength, shall receive strength. The question now is: Where do you draw your strength from? Remember, it will determine how far you will go. So, today, begin to draw strength from the Lord and He will equip you to achieve the impossible. Somebody's destiny can be in his own hands depending on the decision he makes.
If you trust God enough to make recourse to him on all matters, the assurance is that He will equip and strengthen you.

Sing praise/worship. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. By the power and authority of the Holy Ghost, I receive strength to accomplish all things, in Jesus name.

2. Any spiritual weakness, laziness and lukewarmness working against my advancement, be cancelled, in Jesus name.

3. Anything that is not working well in my life as a function of spiritual deadness, I command it to begin to work well again, in Jesus name.

4. Every yoke of limitation standing against my lifting, break to pieces, in Jesus name.

5. Any yoke of spiritual embargo placed upon my life and destiny, be lifted by thunder, in Jesus' name.

THEME: BEWARE OF COUNTER ATTACKS

TEXT: MATTHEW 26:41
41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

MEMORY VERSE: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. "(1 Peter 5:8-10)

MESSAGE:
Every believer must open his eyes very wide. The devil is always on the go. Afterall, there is no holiday in the spiritual realm. To this end, the devil works assiduously to achieve his objective of destruction in the life of any believer. So, you must be sober and vigilant.

Notwithstanding, Jesus Christ has made enough provision to ensure that you have victory on every side. No matter what you are passing through, the God of all grace will perfect His works upon your life, establish you in righteousness and holiness and then strengthen you and finally settle you. But all that depends on your ability to recognize the potency of counter attacks and then pray against it.

THEME: PURSUE, OVERTAKE AND RECOVER ALL

TEXT: ISAIAH 41:10-12
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.


MEMORY VERSE: "And David inquired at the LORD, saying, shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all." 1 Samuel 30:8

MESSAGE:
The level of importance you attach to your aspiration in life, determines to a great extent the kind of opposition and confrontation you get. You do not achieve anything in life on a platter. All oppositions you meet on your way are stepping stones to your miracles. But you must never be defeatist in your attitude. Those oppositions will always be there. They are like the Amalekites assigned against your life. When they come, they first of all sap you. That is not the end.

Just enquire of the Lord today and receive green light to go after them. Remember, David enquired of the Lord concerning the Amalekites that spoiled his goods and carted away his wives and children and God assured him saying "You shall pursue, overtake and recover all." And according to the word of God, he overtook his enemies and recovered everything they took away. As you adopt the same approach today, victory over your enemies is assured.

Sing praise/worship. Pray and thank God and then ask for forgiveness of sins and take the following prayer points.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Every battle I am passing through in this life, O God fight for me and give me victory, in Jesus' name.
2. By the power and authority of the Holy Ghost, I pursue all the Amalekites assigned against my destiny, in Jesus' name.

3. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I overtake them and recover whatever they have stolen, in Jesus' name.

4. Any caterpillar, canker worm and palmer worm assigned against my harvest, receive rebuke, in Jesus' name.

5. Every waster and spirits of losses and wastages assigned against my harvest, be destroyed by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus' name.

THEME: YOU MUST SERVICE YOUR HEAVENLY ACCOUNT

TEXT: Judges 11:30-40
30. And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands.

31. Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

33. And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

34. And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

35. And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

36. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

37. And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

38. And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

39. And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel.

40. That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

MEMORY VERSE: "Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. " (Philippians 4: 17)

MESSAGE: If you want to enjoy unbelievable fruitfulness and multiplications you must service your heavenly account. It is not as if God depends on your money to run heaven's affairs, rather it is for something to abide in your account. Servicing your heavenly account is a massive responsibility, but which when accomplished paves the way for fruitfulness and multiplication.

One of the major reasons believers do not make it big as they desire is that they do not have the spiritual wisdom to challenge God. Jephthah challenged God with the life of his daughter and fulfilled the vow after God gave him victory. If you need victory over your enemies, go ahead and challenge God with something that is reasonable. Unfortunately, many people make pledges without fulfilling them. Do not copy their example.

Do you want to be a beneficiary of God's great benevolence and magnanimity? Then stop being stingy and greedy. Give something that is tangible; something that will make a big impact in your pocket. Then you will see God in action.

Just sing a few songs of praise/worship and take the following prayer points.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Every spirit of stinginess and greed assigned against my prosperity. receive rebuke in Jesus name.

2. O God, give me the spirit of giving, in the name of Jesus Christ.

3. All the caterpillars, cankerworms, palmerworms, spirits behind losses and wastages working against my lifting; be melted by the heat of the Holy Ghost, in Jesus name.

4. Every arrow of poverty fired against my life, return back to your senders, in Jesus name. In the name of Jesus, I possess my possessions.

THEME: YOU MUST WALK IN DOMINION

TEXT: Hebrews 11:6, Romans 1: 17
6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

MEMORY VERSE: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. " (Genesis 1:28)

MESSAGE:
God's program for man right from the very beginning is that he would have dominion — over his environment, situation and circumstances. Have you therefore adjusted your mindset to live by this report from heaven? Or are you among the people with a new vista of God's blessing? The truth is that God has finished creation and saw that everything He created was good. He is no longer creating separate blessing for you. He has already blessed you! All He is asking you to do right now is to take advantage of the divine mandate for fruitfulness, increase and multiplication, to overcome environmental obstacles and to exercise over all dominion.

Remember, it is the same word that created the heaven and earth and everything inside them that is also telling you, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish and have dominion." You must therefore rise up to walk in dominion.

Just sing a few songs of praise/worship and take the following prayer points.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Any opposition standing against my advancement in life; be uprooted by the Holy Ghost bulldozer, in Jesus name.

2. I command the divine mandate for fruitfulness to be activated in my life, in Jesus name.

3. By the reason of God's blessing upon my life, all earlier existing curses become invalidated, in Jesus name.

4. Whatever God says I will be, that is what I am going to become. No man or power can stop me in Jesus name.

5. Every satanic program and agenda for my life; be frustrated by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus name.

THEME: YOUR FOUNDATION HAS A ROLE TO PLAY

TEXT: Exodus 20:5-6
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

MEMORY VERSE: "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11 :3)

MESSAGE:
Many people's foundations have been contaminated through false worship — ancestral, idol, marine spirit, worship of celestial beings and so on. Though they might not have had a direct contact with the worship of these deities, but they come to bear the brunt of this mistake made by those before them; stalling their fruitfulness and multiplication in line with God's promise to visit the iniquity of such families upon the children and the children's children of them that hate Him.

Who are those? They are those that bowed their heads to idols. Our fore-fathers did and today, their children are suffering from their mistakes. Those satanic forces are still demanding for worship, while the children have come under God's sledge-hammer in line with His word. However, the fact that these children of which we are among, have come to embrace Christ today gives hope to their situation. Remember, God says He will be merciful to them. Notwithstanding, you have a role to play and that role is to pray concerning your foundation to cleanse it from idolatry.

Just sing a few songs of praise/worship and take the following prayer points.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Any contamination or pollution upon my foundation; be remedied by the blood of Jesus Christ.

2. Any evil planted in the foundation of my life that is bringing hardship and set-backs to me, be uprooted by my heavenly Father, in Jesus name.

3. Any inherited curse following polluted and contaminated foundation: break by thunder, in Jesus name.

4. Any demon assigned to enforce yokes and bondage upon my life; be arrested by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus name.

5. I pray for my G. O, his wife and children: Any foundational power working against their ministry: receive rebuke, in Jesus name.

TEXT: Judges 2:11-23.
11. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

12. And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

13. And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

14. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

15. Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

16. Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

17. And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

18. And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

19. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

20. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

21. I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

22. That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

23. Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. Judges

MEMORY VERSE: "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. (Judges 6:1 )

MESSAGE:
In as much as God is set to bless you beyond your imagination this month and quarter, it is also important to be aware of what sin can make you to lose. It is unimaginable the level of yoke that sinfulness brings to the lives of believers. The situation of the Israelites calls for sober reflection here. Remember, on any occasion when the Israelites sinned, God allowed their enemies to torment them. Therefore, it is very safe to assert that sin makes one vulnerable and opens the floodgate of attacks against him. At one time, Israel was dominated by their enemies for thirteen years. At another time, it was for eighteen years. From the above scripture, they came under bondage for seven years.

So, take note, any time you commit sin, you make yourself a legal captive in the hand of the enemy. The glory of God departs and this paves way for the enemy to torment you and this will adversely affect your fruitfulness and multiplication and progress generally. Think about it. It is likely that the set back, disappointment, rising/falling, failure at the edge of breakthrough and other forms of harassments you have been passing through in the hands of the enemy all these years might be by-product of sin. Make amends because every sin is accompanied with grave consequences.

Just sing a few songs of praise/worship and take the following prayer points.

PRAYER POINTS :
1. Any power assigned to pull me down; receive frustration, in Jesus name.

2. By the resurrection power of the blood of Jesus Christ, I command the power of sin over my life to die, in Jesus name.

3. Any form of captivity over my life as a result of my sinful past, end in Jesus name.

4. Any consequences of my sin militating against my G. o's prayers for me, come to an end, in the name of Jesus Christ.

THEME: YOU MUST ASSERT YOUR AUTHORITY

TEXT: LUKE 10:19
19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

MEMORY VERSE: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. "(Gen 1 :26)

MESSAGE:
Stepping into fruitfulness and multiplication requires that you overcome every obstacle that stands on your way. A huge task, no doubt! But being a Chosen, there is sufficient grace to overcome. You are armed with God's divine mandate to have dominion. The power to trample upon them has been released.

Therefore, instead of seeing obstacles standing on your way as problems. begin to see them as raw materials necessary for your transformation. Muster the courage and dislodge them. There cannot be any better time to assert your God-given authority than now.

Sing a few songs of praise/warfare and take the following prayer points.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. By the power and authoritv in the name of Jesus. I command God's dominion mandate bestowed upon me to become activated, in Jesus name.

2. Therefore, whatever has not been working well in my life, in the name of Jesus I command you to begin to work again, in Jesus name.

3. Any image contrary to the image of God manifesting in my life (Mention them: image of failure, sickness, rising/falling, disappointments, and limitations and so on), catch fire, in Jesus name.

4. Any arrears of yoke from the last quarter still following me, catch fire, in Jesus name.

5. Any power secretly working against my pastor, receive God's anger, in Jesus name.

6. I decree that no power working against my life shall escape the anger of God, in Jesus name.

THEME: THE POWER TO OVERCOME IS AT YOUR DISPOSAL

TEXT: LUKE 10:19
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

MEMORY VERSE: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. "(Isaiah 54: 17)

MESSAGE:
The truth is that whatever heaven sets out to accomplish in your life, the devil is always striving to frustrate it. Even as heaven is set to honour our daddy in the Lord's declaration that this month will be a month of fruitfulness and multiplication for the Chosen ones, the devil will not just sit back and watch you excel without giving a fight.

Nevertheless, you need not worry. God has made adequate provision for victory. No matter the weapon the devil will throw at you, God's weapon is readily available to neutralize them. God's weapon is His Word — same that was in the beginning and which created the heaven and earth and everything that is inside them. You must employ the use of these words through prayer. That is why the scripture above urges you to rise up to condemn any tongue that will rise up against you in judgment. Are you ready?

Sing a few songs of praise and take the following prayer points. Prayer points:

1. O God, I thank you for yet another new day, in the name of Jesus Christ.

2. Any power on assignment to sabotage my fruitfulness and multiplication: receive frustration. in Jesus name.

3. Any ancestral power hindering fruitfulness and multiplication in my life: be destroyed by fire; in Jesus name.

4. Any covenant hindering progress in my life; break and scatter. in Jesus name.

5. No weapon of the enemy formed against my pastor and his family shall prosper, in Jesus name.

6. Any power siphoning the blessings of the Chosen ones; receive Holy Ghost sledge hammer, in Jesus name.

THEME: THERE IS EVERY REASON TO PRAISE THE LORD

TEXT: PSALM 107:3-16
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

MEMORY VERSE: "O give thanks unto the LORD,for he is good:for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. " (PSALM 107:1-2)

MESSAGE:
April is the fourth month of the year in the secular calendar, but is known as the month of Fruitfulness and Multiplication in The Lord's Chosen calendar. It is a thing of joy having seen the end of the first three months and entered into the beginning of another quarter. Naturally, the best thing to do is to pray and thank God for what He has helped you to accomplish in the previous quarter; having brought into another new year. Remember, all these have been possible not because you have been very careful or wise; it is just his mercy.

Sing a few songs of praise/worship and then take the following prayer points.

1. O Lord God my Father, thank you very much for giving me the privilege to see the beginning of yet another quarter in the New Year, in Jesus' name.

2. Thank you for preserving me from all evils, sicknesses, diseases and violence of the previous year, in the name of Jesus Christ.

3. Thank you for protecting me from the snare of the fowler and from noisome pestilences, terror by night; arrow that flew by day and from every sorrow and affliction, Jesus' name.

4. Thank you for my pastor, his wife, children and entire family, in the name of Jesus Christ.

5. Thank you for the three-fold visions of this church that has continued to ensure the salvation of many souls.

6. Thank you for using our grassroots revival to restore heaven's consciousness in the hearts of believers all over the world. Thank you for reproducing your power as of old in The Lord's Chosen since inception, in Jesus' name.

THEME: IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO BE A CHOSEN

TEXT: ISAIAH 41:9-10
9. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; " yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

MEMORY VERSE : In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. HAGGAI 2:23

MESSAGE:
In the Bible days, Christians were privileged people because they were led by the spirit of God. They increased and the move of God's power among the people was evident. At the establishment of the Lord's Chosen few years ago, there is reawakening of the apostolic Christian experience among the body of Christ. In this new dispensation in the Lord's Chosen members are now experiencing the things that happened in the Bible days.

In the Lord's Chosen services today, the lame work, the dumb speak, the barren conceive, the sinners repent, even dare devil armed robbers repent of their sins and give their lives to Christ. It is therefore imperative that any member of the Lord's Chosen who has been enjoying these divine benefits and privileges should invite his kits and kins, neighbours and friends to enjoy these goodies with him. Anybody worshipping with the Lord's Chosen is a privileged person. God has chosen us to reach out to other people around us.
You as a Chosen, should not let any day pass without preaching the word of God to someone. It is by so doing that we will be able to fulfill the grassroots revival to bring as many people as possible to these benefits and privileges we are enjoying today.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray for the grace to be a genuine Chosen.

Ask God to strengthen you to do the work of God at all times.

Pray for more blessings upon your life

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8 If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent. Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, Are you into occultism? Do you smoke cigarette, cocaine, heroine? Are you lusting, covetous, alcohol drinking, divorcee or into worldliness?, you must stop bleaching your body, or painting your lips, eyes, fixing attachments, weave-on, earrings (Gen 35:2-4) Are you one of those that put on nude dresses, short skirts, transparent dresses to seduce (A seducer is not a Christian) do you wear trouser as a woman? Repent and give your life to Jesus Christ.

LET'S PRAY: If you want to give your life to JESUS pray this short prayer with me: Almighty God, I come unto you in the name of Jesus. Father I confess that I am a sinner. All my sins I confess to you. I am very sorry for all my sins. Lord I promise you that from today I will never continue in them anymore. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day for my justification. Almighty God, use the blood of Jesus to wash my sins away. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, be my Lord and Personal Savior. I surrender my life to you. Cancel my name from the book of death and give me grace to make Heaven. AMEN!

This Message is coming at the right time, if other pastors can emulate him, it will help to reduce the corruption rate in the country and in the world in general..

The spiritual Jerusalem which is the church has gone astray, if we can emulate the G.O of The Lord's Chosen,souls will be revived in Christ..



In the Bible, the account of zacchaeus when Jesus met him, Jesus knowing the profession that was a dubious man in nature, Jesus did not ask him to bring tithe, but he willingly refund the money four folds Luke 19 vs 1-10



The message of the cross is foolish unto them that want to perish,
The problem we have in the church today is that there are lot of pastors in sheep clothing who do not care about the souls under their care knowing that they shall give account of the souls rather than so much love in their fat envelop.

THEME: WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING

TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13
12. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

MEMORY VERSE: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58.

MESSAGE:
Our salvation is a continuous process; until the rapture takes place or the person is called to glory. Everyone must continue to do the needful for the salvation of his or her soul and for the final eternal life. As long as we are still on this earth, our salvation must continue to be our priority. We keep on working out our salvation with fear and trembling

In that case there is no time one will stop the work of God. Age is not a barrier to the work of God. An individual Christian at old age will do the work as his or her strength will carry him or her. In the Bible days we read the stories of Simeon, an old man in Jerusalem whom the Holy Ghost revealed to that he would not see death until he sees our Lord Jesus Christ. Even at old age, he kept on attending service until he witnessed the dedication of our Lord Jesus in the temple. Also another old woman called Anna was present in the temple to witness the dedication of Jesus Christ. They were happy to see the child Jesus. We have witnessed the testimony of one old Papa from EnugwuEzike, who at the age of 117 years still goes out on morning cry to preach. Service to God must continue until one breathes his or her last.
You keep on preaching the gospel, doing the best for you to make heaven until the trumpet sounds.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray that God should continue to guide you so that you do not derail in the work of God.

Ask God to continue to strengthen you to do the work of the ministry

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8 If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping.

THEME: DEVELOP YOUR GIVEN TALENT, IT IS FROM GOD

TEXT: MATTHEW 25:15-18.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

MEMORY VERSE: And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. MATTHEW 13:12.

MESSAGE:
Every individual has a God given gift which overtime needs development for the sustenance of the person. In most cases the individual needs additional training that will help the proper manifestation of the talent. The more one tries to explore and develop and use his talent, the more it perfects to become more useful and result oriented.

In out text above, the Bible tells us of how a master gave out talents to his servants in his preparation to travel out to a far country. He left the servants and travelled. In the course of time, the man he gave five talents traded with it and made a profit of five more talents. The man given two talents traded with his own money and doubled it too. Unfortunately the man who received one talent was so slothful that he did not want to work but hid the talent and did not make any profit.

Upon the return of the master, each servant gave account of his stewardship. The master was happy with the first for their efforts and success.

He was angry with the man he gave one talent to the extent that he took the talent from him and gave to the man who had ten talents.

This is exactly what happens when one fails to work to develop his or her God given talent.
Make good use of the gift God has given you so that you will be successful in life.

PRAYER POINTS:
Talent is God given, pray that God will help you to discover your given talent.
Pray for the strength and encouragement to work towards the development of your talent.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8. If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping.

THEME: PROSPERITY IS ORDAINED BY GOD, HOLD UNTO HIM

TEXT: JEREMIAH 29: 11-12
11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

12. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

MEMORY VERSE: And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. GENESIS 24: 1

MESSAGE:
The will of God for every Christian is that he or she shall prosper in soul and be in health. It is on this premise the Bible says in 3John: 2, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. It is God that ordained prosperity for all His children. In the text above, the Bible tells us that God has a good thought for us that we will have an expected end. The expected end is that the person will have his heart desire granted. The expected end of any Christian is of two fold. The first is that he serves God with all his or her heart and makes heaven at the end of this earthly life. The second is that he will prosper in wealth in order to have the capacity to sponsor the work of God and build up his treasure in heaven. It is therefore the plan of God that you prosper in life. It is you as a Christian that will work out your prosperity but within God's will and plan.
In order to prosper, you need to work for your salvation with fear and trembling. In this manner you make the work of evangelism your priority. As you win souls for the kingdom of God, He will bless you in material things. The souls won in the course of evangelism will increase your treasure in heaven. You will prosper in health when your material blessings grow. Work for your prosperity and God will confirm it for you in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray for your spiritual growth in your Christian race.

Pray for divine guidance in all your spiritual exercise.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8. If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping.

THEME: YOU SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: ISAIAH 54:14
14. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

MEMORY VERSE: Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. PROVERBS 14:34

MESSAGE:
Life is not by struggle. It is not by hard work or by wisdom that wealth is acquired but through the blessings of God. It is on this basis the Bible says in Galatians 3:11 "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith."
The law of nature states that if one works hard he or she will make wealth for himself to get himself established. On the contrary, it is possible that a person who works hard, does all he is supposed to do yet he will not make the wealth he or she is looking for. One who trusts in God, who has the favour of God, may work a little and God will bless his work and get him established. One therefore needs to trust in God while working for his or her establishment. For one to trust in God he or she must live holy and righteous life.
In the lead text above, the Bible says you shall be established in righteousness and be free from oppressions, fear and When you are free from oppression from the kingdom of darkness, from the terror of the devil and his cohorts, the work of your hand will grow as God wants them to go.
In your quest for proper and sustainable honest establishment, follow God and let Him establish you in your work.

PRAYER POINTS:
Tell God you have no power of your own and let Him establish you.

Pray that God should bless and prosper whatever you lay your hands upon.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8. If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent. Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, Are you into occultism? Do you smoke cigarette, cocaine, heroine? Are you lusting, covetous, alcohol drinking, divorcee or into worldliness?, you must stop bleaching your body, or painting your lips, eyes, fixing attachments, weave-on, earrings (Gen 35:2-4) Are you one of those that put on nude dresses, short skirts, transparent dresses to seduce (A seducer is not a Christian) do you wear trouser as a woman? Repent and give your life to Jesus Christ.

LET'S PRAY: If you want to give your life to JESUS pray this short prayer with me: Almighty God, I come unto you in the name of Jesus. Father I confess that I am a sinner. All my sins I confess to you. I am very sorry for all my sins. Lord I promise you that from today I will never continue in them anymore. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day for my justification. Almighty God, use the blood of Jesus to wash my sins away. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, be my Lord and Personal Savior. I surrender my life to you. Cancel my name from the book of death and give me grace to make Heaven. AMEN!

THEME: WHENEVER THE MASTER ARRIVES, THE SITUATION CHANGES FOR BETTER

TEXT: JOHN 11:43-44
43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

MEMORY VERSE: And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. JOHN 21:6.

MESSAGE:
Whenever a master in any profession or work place arrives there is a change in the attitude of the workers and the display of skills. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Master is a highly skilled professional or technician who teaches other people. The master has authority over other people. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a Master over all principalities and powers. He has the power to do all things. When He arrives in any situation, He casts the enemy out and anyone in their captivity is freed with immediate effect.
If you read from the beginning of the text above, Lazarus the brother to Mary died and was buried. Our Lord Jesus arrived four days after his burial and made him to resurrect from the dead.
Prior to the arrival of the Master, the people were in a state of loss, there was wailing and mourning but as the Master arrived, the situation changed to that of back to life, joy, and hope.
In another scenario, Apostle Peter and his co-fishermen toiled all night searching for fish but caught nothing. In the morning when the Master arrived, He asked Peter to thrust the net by the right side for a catch. As Peter let down the net, they caught multitude of fish that the boat could not contain them.
The presence of the Master is important in the life of every believer. When the Master arrives in your life every problem you are confronted with, will be solved. You have to invite the Master into your life so that your life will be good and fulfilled in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray for a continued presence of the Master in your life, work, and ministry.
Ask God to help you depend on the Master in all your endeavours.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1John 3:8 If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent.

THEME: THERE IS NO HIDING PLACE FOR SINNERS.

TEXT: NUMBERS 32:22-23
22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. Numbers

MEMORY VERSE: And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: MARK 9:43

MESSAGE:
True Christianity demands that we keep to our original vows to follow and serve God. It is crucifying our Lord Jesus Christ the second time if after professing Christ we go back to Sin or fail to keep our promise.
The moment we give our life to Christ we are not expected to go back to the world of sin. We have entered into covenant with God which must not be broken. It is also unchristian and sinful to break any agreement entered into with anyone.
In the text above, Moses told the tribes of Reuben and Gad that if they keep to their promise of helping their brothers to conquer the remaining territories and get them settle down, the land would be subdued for them but if they fail to keep to the promise, their sin would find them out and there would be no hiding p!ace because by that action they are truce breakers.
That also means that if you present yourself as a Christian but in the secret commit sin of any kind, such as drinking of alcohol, fornication and adultery, stealing of any kind, there will be no hiding place for you on the judgment day. On that day when every hidden act will be made open, your sin will find you out
Now that grace still abounds, judge yourself and correct every mistake you are making. Then the land be subdued for you and God will bless you here on earth and eternal life will wait for you at the end of this life.

PRAYER POINTS:
Father help me to judge myself so as to amend my ways for a better Christian life.
Father, search me and purge me of any known and unknown sin in my life.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1John 3:8 If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent. Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, Are you into occultism? Do you smoke cigarette, cocaine, heroine?

THEME: GOD WILL HEAR YOUR CRY.

TEXT: PSALM 34:6
6. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

MEMORY VERSE: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. HOSEA 4:6.

MESSAGE:
The God of the Chosen answers prayers. This is in line with the scripture in Psalm 50: 15 which states, And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
One song writer said whatever the devil has done, it will only take him to pray to God to overcome the devil. God answers prayers. It is through prayer that we communicate to God to present our needs to Him.

For the Christians, our power lies in our ability to pray faithfully to God.

In the text above, the Bible says that the poor man cried, the Lord heard him and saved him from troubles.

The text is an encouragement to every Christian especially the members of Lord's Chosen. God is ever ready to answer our prayers. You should not be weighed down by any problem be it sickness, barrenness, poverty, affliction of any kind. Whenever you are confronted with any of these, simply go down on your knees and present it to God.

The memory verse requires us to be knowledgeable enough to know how and when to act in times of need.

However, you need to be in right standing with God so that when you pray God will answer. The Bible says, the prayer of a righteous man avails much. It is in times of need that we call on God. Whatever is your problem commit it into the hand of God and He will answer you.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray that God should give you the strength to pray so that you will face challenges with prayer.
Pray that God will answer your prayers in times of need.

AMEND YOUR WAYS: If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil 1 John 3:8 If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness, kidnapping.
