MESSAGE
Over the past two days, I've discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition or seemingly impossible situations. Today, I want to talk about how the Almighty God reveals His invincible nature in the midst of circumstances that seem to be out of control.

A lady once came to me crying for help. When l asked her what the problem was, she said that her husband abandoned her with their four children and went to live with another woman who had five children from other men. The lady told me, "I fought and did everything I could to keep my husband, but I lost. Now, I want God to help me." I told her that the issue was a simple one since she had decided to allow God to help her. I prayed with her and assured her that her husband would return home to apologize to her. A few days later, her husband and the strange woman started quarrelling, and the strange woman said to him, "Don't you know you are out of your senses? If you are within your senses, how will you leave your wife and your four children to come and stay with a woman who has five children, none of which are yours?"
The man replied, that is true, you know." He acknowledged that he was out of his senses, so he packed his belongings and returned home. When he got home, he pleaded with his wife to take him back, and she did. I decree that all your defeats shall be turned to victory, in Jesus' name. Wherever things have gone out of control in your life, the Unlimited God will step in and rearrange them in your favor.

When an election was drawing near in Nigeria some years ago, some people were panicking because things seemed very uncertain. I asked some of them, "Do you think God is scratching His head and asking Himself,
What is the best action to take now?" No situation catches the Almighty God by surprise, and no situation is too complicated for Him to unravel. Everyone and everything we see on earth is under His feet because heaven is His throne, and the earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1).

Beloved, do not ever be anxious about situations that seem to be out of control. Place them in the hands of the Unlimited God; He will bring everything under control and give you peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).


PRAYER POINT
Father, I place every aspect of my life in Your unlimited hands. Please take control, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 21: MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3 His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

MEMORISE: Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Genesis 18:14


READ: Ezekiel 37:1-10
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.


MESSAGE
God is not only unlimited when it comes to opposition; He also cannot be limited by circumstances. In Genesis 18:9-14, when He said that a 90-year-old woman would become pregnant, the woman laughed because, humanly speaking, she had a good cause to laugh. She had reached menopause, and her husband was almost 100 years old, yet God said, "Nine months from now, you will have a baby boy." When she laughed, God had to call her to order by saying, "Do you think anything can be too hard for me to do?" No case is too difficult for God to solve or too hopeless for Him to turn around.

The Bible doesn't tell us how long Manoah and his wife waited to have a child, but their waiting season ended after God sent an angel to visit them (judges 13:2-24). Humanly speaking, Zachariah and Elisabeth were too old to have children. In fact, the Bible says that they were stricken in years, meaning they were old and feeble. Yet, their old and frail nature didn't stop God from giving them a child (Luke 1:5-25). When God is ready to bring forth life, no deadness can limit Him.

In today's Bible reading, Ezekiel saw a valley that was full of dry bones in a vision. Dry bones are associated with people or animals that have been dead for long. When Ezekiel was taken to this valley that was full of dry bones, God asked him if the bones could live again. The man of God immediately realized that he had come face to face with a situation that his faith could not handle. "Lord, only You can tell," he replied wisely. Then, God said to him, "Prophesy to these bones and say, Dry bones, hear God's word and come together, every bone to its bone as it was originally."

Naturally speaking, it is impossible for dry bones to hear anything, but when the Unlimited God steps on the scene, dry bones not only hear, but they come alive, locate the parts they were joined to, and become a mighty army! I pray that every dry and dead situation in your life will hear the voice of the Unlimited God and come alive again, in Jesus' name! Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones as the Unlimited God commanded him to.

Beloved, when you're faced with situations that seem hopeless, you must speak God's word over them. Declare what God has said into seemingly hopeless situations, and nothing will be impossible unto you.


KEY POINT
Speak God's word into situations that seem to be dead around you, and you will experience the wonders of the Unlimited God.

READ: Psalms 2:1-12
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


MESSAGE
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:27
God likes to ask questions, and we see several instances of this in the Bible. When He asks a question, however, it isn't because He doesn't know the answer, but because He wants to reveal something about Himself. God asked the question in the Scripture above because He wanted to let you know that He is unlimited.
The word 'unlimited' is a combination of two words: 'un' and 'limited’. 'Un' is a prefix of Latin and Greek origin that simply means 'not', while to be limited is to be restricted. Therefore, when we say that God is unlimited, it means that He is sovereign and has absolutely no restrictions.

The devil limits people by placing an embargo on their lives that says, "Thus far can you go and no further." For instance, if someone is lame, he or she might be able to crawl but cannot stand, walk, or run; hence, the fellow's movement is limited. God is not limited and cannot be hindered; He cannot be stopped from doing what He wants. Our God, the I AM THAT IAM, cannot be limited by anyone or anything.

When God wants to work, no one can hinder Him; when He wants to create Something, He can use what seems like nothing to produce a masterpiece. When He saw how chaotic and dark the earth was in the beginning, He didn't wring His hands in frustration and despair. Instead, He said, "Let there be Light!" (Genesis 1:3). As thick as the darkness was, it fled at the sound of God's voice. Whenever opposing forces gather, He who sits in the heavens laughs because His unlimited power can be displayed without question (Psalm 2:1-4).

In today's Bible reading, we see how the nations and heathen kings gathered to oppose God, but in the end, they failed. When the enemy stacks one opposition after another against you, that is time to laugh because you have a Father who is truly unlimited. If you call on His name and put your total trust in Him, He will work His wonders in your life, regardless of the nature of the opposition or the number of enemies you might be facing.

Beloved, you have no reason to be intimidated by the devil's threats and obstacles that seem insurmountable; call on the One who is truly invincible, and you will overcome everything that stands in your way.

Unlimited God, please help me to fight my battles and grant me victory on all sides, in Jesus' name.

Prayer Points on "THE SECRET TO FRUITFULNESS"

1. Father, I thank You for the revelation that praise is the fruit of my lips and a powerful key to fruitfulness in every area of my life, in Jesus' name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have despised praise, treated worship sessions as unimportant, or allowed my circumstances to silence my thanksgiving to You, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, just as Elisabeth served You faithfully despite her childlessness, give me the grace to praise You continually, regardless of my situation, trusting that You will reward my faithfulness, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, let the spirit of Michal—the spirit that despises genuine praise—be far from me. Open my mouth to boast of Your goodness shamelessly, and let my womb, my hands, and my life be fruitful, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, I refuse to be like the fig tree with leaves only. Let my life produce fruit—the fruit of praise, the fruit of the Spirit, and the fruit of souls—that will satisfy my Maker and bring glory to Your name, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, give me the heart of Job, who blessed Your name in the midst of loss, and the faith of Jehoshaphat, who praised You even when surrounded by enemies. Turn my battles into breakthroughs, in Jesus' name.

7. Holy Spirit, help me to understand that praise and worship are not mere formalities but powerful encounters where miracles happen. Let me never miss my season of visitation, in Jesus' name.

8. Father, as I offer the sacrifice of praise continually, let every barren area of my life become fruitful. Let my marriage, finances, ministry, and health flourish abundantly, in Jesus' name.

9. Lord, let my praise attract Your presence and provoke Your intervention in every difficult situation I face. Turn my mourning into dancing and my sorrow into joy, in Jesus' name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you desire fruitfulness and commit to praising God until you see manifestation).

11. Thank You, Father, for the secret to fruitfulness revealed. I will praise You continually, and I shall not be barren or unfruitful in any area, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

READ: Matthew 21:18-22
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.


MESSAGE
Yesterday, I discussed how praise opens the door to promotions by using David's life as an example. Do you know that Michal's disdain for her husband's lavish praise shut her womb? If you want to enjoy fruitfulness in every aspect of your life, never despise praise. Never see praise as unnecessary, and don't despise it when others praise God.
Some people see the praise and worship sessions of church services as unimportant, so they deliberately delay getting to church until praise and worship sessions are over. Praise and worship sessions are an integral part of church services; in fact, many people receive their miracles during such sessions. Don't cheat yourself out of God's blessings by despising praise and worship; they are too important to be treated casually.

People who refuse to praise God become unfruitful like Michal. In today's Bible reading, Jesus was hungry as He returned to Bethany. He saw a fig tree from afar and moved close to it, expecting to find fruit on it to satisfy His hunger. However, when He got to the tree, it had many leaves but no fruit, so He cursed the tree. Although it wasn't yet time for fig trees to bear fruits, Jesus didn’t spare it; it had no fruit to satisfy the hunger of its Maker, so it withered completely.

Today's memory verse tells us that praise is the fruit of our lips, and we are asked to offer it to God continually. You have no excuse not to praise God. Elisabeth didn't have a child after many years of marriage, yet she didn't use it as an excuse to neglect praising God; she served Him faithfully despite her childlessness, walking in all His commandments and ordinances (Luke 1:5-7). Praising God is one of His commandments, and you must be blameless in keeping it.

Job didn't stop praising God in the midst of his numerous losses; he lost all he had except his wife in one day, yet he blessed the name of the Lord (Job 1:20-21). As a result, God turned his situation around and blessed him with double of everything he lost. If you desire to be fruitful and victorious in every area of your life, you must be committed to praising God, even in the midst of many challenges, like Jehoshaphat, who praised God even when he was surrounded by enemies (2 Chronicles 20:1-28).

Beloved, when you offer God the fruit of your lips continually, you will experience His tremendous blessings and enjoy fruitfulness in every area of your life.

Prayer Points on "THE SECRET TO PROMOTIONS"

1. Father, I thank You for being the source of all promotion and the One who lifts up and sets down according to Your will, in Jesus' name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have been ashamed to praise You openly, allowed the opinions of others to silence my boasting of Your goodness, or been too dignified to worship You with abandon, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, give me a childlike heart that praises You without restraint, cares not for reputation, and boasts of Your greatness in every place and at all times, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, let my praise be like David's—so persistent and sincere that it attracts Your attention and releases constant promotion and breakthroughs into my life, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, I break free from the spirit of Michal—the spirit of criticism, embarrassment, and pride that mocks genuine worship. I will not be silenced by the opinions of those who do not know my story, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, as I praise You shamelessly, let every mountain of stagnation, delay, and opposition be removed. Promote me far beyond my expectations, according to Ephesians 3:20, in Jesus' name.

7. Holy Spirit, teach me to boast about God intentionally—in my office, neighborhood, on social media, and everywhere I go. Let my lips be filled with testimonies of His faithfulness, in Jesus' name.

8. Father, let my lifestyle of praise shut the mouths of critics and open doors of favor, honor, and supernatural lifting in my life, just as it did for David, in Jesus' name.

9. Lord, I reject every consequence of despising praise, as seen in Michal's life. Let my home be fruitful, my womb blessed, and my legacy established because I honor You with my whole heart, in Jesus' name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you desire promotion and commit to praising God shamelessly until you see breakthrough).

11. Thank You, Father, for the secret of promotion revealed. I will praise You all the day long, and You will lift me higher, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

THEME: THE SECRET TO PROMOTIONS


MEMORISE: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Psalm 75:6-7


READ: 2 Samuel 6:13-23
13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.


MESSAGE
People often describe David in different ways: the shepherd boy, the giant slayer, the worshipper, etc. Despite these different descriptions, almost everyone who has heard and read about David agrees that the most important thing about him is that he knew how to praise God. That was the reason God loved him so much and kept promoting him to the extent that many regard him as Israel's greatest king. If you want to also experience constant promotion and breakthroughs, you must be addicted to praising God.

What exactly is praise? Praise is not thanksgiving, and it is not worship. Worship is telling God that He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and anything you do to show Him that He is your Lord. Praise, however, is boasting about God, like when a boy boasts about his father. In Matthew 21:15-16, the chief priests and scribes, who had seen the marvelous wonders that Jesus did, refused to praise Him.
However, children began to cry in the temple, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David." Despite the fact that they didn't praise God, the chief priests and scribes were angry because the children lavishly poured out their praise on Him. Don’t become too big to praise God because when you do, you will become too insignificant to be promoted by Him. Only a fellow with a childlike heart can truly praise God.

In the Bible reading for today, when David brought the ark of God back to Israel, he praised God with careless abandon. He was not ashamed to dance before the Lord; he boasted in the Lord publicly and didn't care about his position, reputation, or anything because he knew that he was praising the source of everything he had. When his wife, Michal, saw him, she felt embarrassed and scolded him when he returned home, saying, "Don't you have shame? Can't you behave yourself when praising God? As a king, you should know better." David replied, "Leave me to praise my God shamelessly. He is the One who promoted me above your father and everyone in your house. He is the source and owner of my life."

People who praise God like David never stop enjoying promotions. You should never allow the opinions of people who have not faced the things you have faced and the victories that God has given you to stop you from praising Him exuberantly. Become more intentional about boasting of God's goodness and faithfulness over your life, and He will continually lift you higher and bless you far beyond your expectations (Ephesians 3:20).


ACTION POINT
Make sure you boast about God to someone today, in your office, neighbourhood, on social media, and anywhere you go.

MEMORISE: And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! Luke 15:17


READ: Daniel 4:28-37
28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.


MESSAGE
To be in a constant state of confusion is to be in bondage mentally. One common form of confusion is when a student finds it difficult to understand what he or she is taught, no matter how hard he or she studies. Some students understand what they are taught, but when they are asked to recall what they have learnt during tests or examinations, for example, they don't remember anything. Another form of confusion is when a fellow never knows the right decisions to make.

In today's Bible reading, King Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind and was driven away from the midst of people. After seven years, the Lord decided to have mercy on him, and his 'reason' returned to him (Daniel 4:34). The prodigal son's senses also left him for some time, and he didn't make any wise decision until he came back to his senses (Luke 15:11-32). When the enemy attacks someone with confusion, the person might begin to call what is good bad and what is bad good.

There was a boy whose parents were professors, yet he always failed his exams and was always at the bottom of his class. His parents did everything they could to help him with his academics. They even got after-school teachers for him, but he kept failing. After a while, they brought him to me, and the Almighty God intervened. In the next set of examinations he wrote, the boy passed with flying colors and got the first position in his class. His teacher was shocked because, before that time, even if he had been given the answers to copy during an exam, he would have copied them wrongly and still failed. The teachers decided to make him sit for the examinations again, and this time, he scored even higher. For anyone reading this whose brain is in bondage, I pray that God's fire will fall and set you free from every confusion, in Jesus' name.

When a demon attacks a person with confusion, the person's life can quickly go off course. Such a person can become uncoordinated and unsuccessful as a result of demonic activities. I pray for you today; in any area where the enemy might have attacked you with mental fogginess and a lack of clarity in your mind, you will begin to experience jubilee. i declare that you will continually walk in light and understanding, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me the ability to make wise decisions at all times, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME
1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.

3 Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
