TOPIC: THE SECRET OF ASKING QUESTIONS !

BASIC SCRIPTURES: DEUTERONOMY 1: 1-14; REVELATION 1: 5-6

Isidor Isaac Rabi was an Austrian born, American Physicist who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in nuclear science. He was once asked how he became a scientist. Rabi explained that each day after school, his mother would discuss his school day with him. She was less interested in what he had learned than in whether he had “asked a good question today.” She encouraged inquiry and curiosity in all that young Isidor did.

“Asking good questions,” Rabi explained, “made me become a scientist.” No wonder Brooks Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist for the New York Times and drama critic once wrote: “The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.” Losing our child-like curiosity — our sense of wonder and discovery is replaced with cynicism and apathy — “been there, done that, what else is new?” One of the most prolific artists in history (he created more than 20,000 works), the Spanish painter and sculptor, Pablo Picasso, has been called the greatest artist of the 20th century.
He once observed, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” As 2019 ends, determine to EXPLORE and PRESS DEEPER into the things of God! ASK QUESTIONS! Cry out for more! Why have you not been able to finish the Bible? Remember what He told the Jews who were so used to suffering. They came to a place of COMFORT and decided that it was time to SETTLE THERE!
But Deuteronomy 1: 6-8 says: “The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, “Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river…Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land…”
He has set the land before you! Go and POSSESS IT! He has set the WORD before you! Go in and discover more than you know now! Then Proverbs 25:2 (NIV) says: “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.” So like a king that you are, (See Revelation 1: 6 ), YOU MUST SPEND YOUR LIFE SEARCHING OUT THE HIDDEN MYSTERIES OF CREATION AND THE HIDDEN WONDERS of your God! Begin today!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of adoration to God.

1. Pray about today’s word as led now.
2. Repent from laziness and lack of hunger to know more.
3. Repent from laziness in ASKING QUESTIONS.
4. I am a king and a priest unto my God. Therefore I arise today and determine to know more. I shall read more! I shall search out for deeper things of the WORD. I shall read and study the Word afresh. I refuse to remain with the crowd or mixed multitude! I shall get to the place where DEEP calleth unto DEEP. So help me God!
5. Pray about the remaining days of 2019. Loose an end-of-year testimony for yourself.

TOPIC: RAW FIRE FROM THEIR ALTARS!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: AMOS 6: 1 – 14

The Holy Ghost is leading me to draw FIRE from the divine ALTARS of men of old. These were men who shook their generations with a passion for Christ that was uncommon. These were men who knew that nothing else mattered than heaven at last! Hear from the ALTAR and pulpit of Charles Spurgeon as he screamed: “Lost! Lost! Lost!

Better a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to ben lost!” John Wesley was so blunt when he asked: “Do you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?”

I remember David McGee: “We should be more concerned with reaching the lost than pampering the saved.” A.W. Tozer preached: “I believe that entertainment and amusements are the work of the enemy to keep dying men from knowing they’re dying; and to keep enemies of God from remembering that they’re enemies.” On point! Charles Spurgeon said: “If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.”

And this shocker from him again: ‘If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.” Oh!
See today’s scripture again – Amos 6: 1 – “Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!” When you go to church and refuse to win souls, you are at ease in ZION! Your end will be WOE (a curse)! When you go to church to enjoy the music and refuse to win souls, you are at ease in ZION!

Also, when you earn money but spend all on yourself, instead of spending on The LORD and His work for soul winning, then you are at ease in ZION! Your end will be WOE (a curse)! Oh! God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell! Pray now and always use ODM as a divine evangelism tool. Give out copies this week!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of salvation as
led.

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led.
2. Like Paul, I declare aloud today – ‘WOE is me if I preach not the gospel. I refuse to dwell at EASE IN ZION. Holy Ghost, revive me again.
3. Holy Ghost, touch my cold heart with Your HOT coal of FIRE for souls and use me to DEPOPULATE HELL in Jesus name (Pray it for 5 days).
4. Pray about today! Use the pages 7-9 prayers! Scatter every divination against you!

TOPIC: VIGIL DAY: LORD, DISAPPOINT THEIR ENTERPRISE!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: JOB 5:12-19; ISAIAH 54:15

Vs. 12 of today’s first scripture says: “He disappoints the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.” Note three things in that verse:
1. Devices – Which means your enemies are ALWAYS devising or planning against you! This is also called THEIR ENTERPRISE – their business! Wow! As you are reading this write-up, somebody or some powers somewhere (on the earth/sea/ or in the heavenlies) are planning (devising) how to turn your name to SHAME!
It’s their FULL TIME BUSINESS – their ENTERPRISE!
2. CRAFTY-All their devices are hidden and all their plans are done in CRAFTY (deceitful) undertones. They may operate in such a way that when you see an enemy, you might call him/her an enigma (somebody not easily understood and that cannot be explained). Tonight, the God who made NEBUCHADNEZZAR to crawl in the FOREST for 7 years, will expose every liar and deceitful power around your life, family ministry!
3. CANNOT PERFORM – No matter how many devices are raised against you and no matter how potent or crafty they are, the Holy Ghost is passing divine judgment on them right now and it will be sealed TONIGHT! Hear the judgment – their hands CANNOT perform their enterprise! Indeed, they shall SURELY GATHER, but our 2nd scripture says that any power that gathers because of you SHALL FALL FOR YOUR SAKE! Yea! They shall fall and fail and they shall EXPIRE!

Therefore ARISE TONIGHT(12am-1am) and join all ODM users worldwide to scatter every device manufactured against your recovery this year! I prophesy: Tonight, is a night of disappointment for that crafty enemy!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of power as led now.

1. Thank God for His mercy upon your life.
2. Cry out to God in your own words concerning today’s word.
3. I scatter by thunder every negative plan to derail my destiny in Jesus name (Pray it well NOW and tonight 12am).
4. Every strongman delegated to hinder my progress in life; FALL NOW for my sake! Be roasted by the fire of the Holy Ghost now! (Pray it well NOW/tonight 12am).
5. I release confusion into the camp of any adversary planning my downfall and I command every CRAFTY ENEMY AND THEIR CRAFTY DEVICES; FALL! FALL! FALL into disgrace now and tonight in Jesus name (Pray it well NOW and tonight 12am).
6. O LORD, arise now and tonight and disappoint every evil imagination against my recovery and my joy in Jesus name.
7. As 2019 ends, I decree now/tonight: Let every demonic stumbling block to my breakthrough be sub-machined/BOMBED to nothingness in Jesus name (Pray it well NOW/tonight 12am).
8. I decree and it is established now : I shall fulfill my destiny in a GRAND STYLE in Jesus name (Pray it well NOW and tonight 12am).

TOPIC: THAT HOT DAY IN EUROPE!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: LUKE 16: 19 – 31; MARK 9:43-44

On July 25th this year, the UK experienced its first and second hottest July days on record in history as the mercury (temperature gauge) hit nearly 40 degrees centigrade. I was in the UK on that day and the heat sparked travel chaos across the entire nation, with many train operators urging passengers not to travel as services were delayed or cancelled. Similar temperatures were recorded all across Europe.

It was a HEAT WAVE chaos! I saw people of all sexes walking nearly naked with open bodies. People ran to air- conditioned offices and shops pretending to be buying or pricing something. Police also warned of the risks of cooling off in open water, after three bodies – believed to be swimmers – were recovered in London and Gloucestershire. All this happened because Britain was not used to such extreme temperatures!

But as the nation grappled with that TERRIBLE HEAT DAY, the Holy Ghost reminded me of the LAKE OF FIRE called HELL! The Bible described it as a place BURNING with brimstones. See Revelation 19:20-21 – “ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” They were CAST ALIVE into hell! People will be conscious and ALIVE in HELL! If a whole nation or continent was complaining of just about 40 degrees centigrade in temperature, what will men do when the temperature exceeds 1000 degrees centigrade in hell?
The Holy Ghost wants a user of today’s devotional to do all you can to ESCAPE FROM HELL! It is an UNQUENCHABLE FIRE that burns for all ETERNITY! It is a place of tears without end! A place of ‘HAD-I-KNOWN!’ A place of ‘LORD, GIVE-ME-ONE- MORE-CHANCE!’ Luke 16:24 contains the cries of the rich man in hell: “…he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.” He was asking for JUST A FEW DROPS OF WATER to cool his tongue! Wow! What a place! What an agony! What a regret! Use today’s devotional to check your life and ministry! What are you doing secretly or publicly that can take you to HELL? Repent and help others too to escape daily! Pray now!
His pace! Even when the storms seem to rage, don’t panic! Get a word from God before any action! Never move until He moves! Never rest until he rests! Let your hands be in His hands! You will excel!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of rapture as led.

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray on it as led.
2. Repent from whatever you know can send you to HELL!
3. Repent from not warning others concerning hell.
4. Ask for the grace to use ODM to preach the gospel in these end times. Give it out daily!
5. I scatter whatever it is that will wipe my name from the BOOK OF LIFE!
6. See Mark 9: 43-44 again! Holy Ghost, help me to CUT off the following sinful habits from my life (mention them).

Our Daily Manna

TOPIC: THE SECRET OF THE GREAT!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: 2 SAMUEL 2: 1-11

2 Samuel 2: 1 says, “And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?’ And the Lord said unto him, “Go up.’ And David said, “Whither shall I go up?’ And he said, ‘Unto Hebron.” This was one of the secrets of David and it is also the secret of the great; ALWAYS ASK THE LORD ABOUT EVERYTHING. The LORD did not give you your brain to make you OMNISCIENT; YOU CANNOT AND DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING!

He wants you to ask for DIRECTION DAILY! He gave you your brain in order to help you act in WISDOM after HEARING FROM HIM. See 1 Samuel 30 :8 – “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.” Did you get that? Even when his entire family was captured and his most trusted men and women turned against him, David still asked the LORD about the NEXT STEP HE MUST TAKE.

That was one of his hidden secrets; ALWAYS SEEKING TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD on every matter. That is why today, the national flag of Israel is called, “THE STAR OF DAVID’ – named after him. See Genesis 26:1-3 – “And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, ‘Go not Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, ‘Go not down into Egypt: dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father” So even in the ECONOMIC CHAOS of that generation, it was a WORD FROM THE LORD that sustained ISAAC.

Ah! YOU CANNOT HEAR FROM GOD AND END UP IN THE CROWD OF LIFE! As millions were running around in fear, the LORD told him to remain where he was. Learn to HEAR FROM GOD in everything you do. That is the secret of the GREAT!

Still give out this 4th quarter ODM copy to a soul and to a family! ODM is the best birthday, wedding, anniversary or any event GIFT ITEM. Use it always! Visit a bookstore and give out another copy this week!

TOPIC: UNBEATABLE IN HIM!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: EPHESIANS 2:8;
2 CORINTHIANS 5: 12- 17

When you look into the mirror, what do you see? Do you see someone who is “fearfully and wonderfully made?” Do you see someone who has been “crowned with glory and honour?” Do you see someone who is “blessed and highly favoured?” THE LORD GOD wants you to remember today that: Every time He Looks At You, He Sees You Through The Blood Of His Son. He sees You Crowned With Glory And Honour, Fearfully And Wonderfully Made And Blessed And Highly Favoured!
He sees you with every good ability it takes to do exploits and to make a mark in this generation. You Are Extremely Valuable To Him! Verse 10 of today’s 1st scripture says: “You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” Another good word for “created” is “MANUFACTURED.” When you look at an electronic gadget or any other product and you see a label on it that says,

“Manufactured in Nigeria, China or USA, etc,” it means, that EVERYTHING THAT WAS USED TO PRODUCE THAT THING WAS OBTAINED FROM those countries. In the same way, when God created you, EVERYTHING THAT HE USED WAS GOTTEN FROM WITHIN CHRIST JESUS! YOU ARE, “MANUFACTURED IN CHRIST JESUS; created in Christ Jesus…” Wow! No wonder it says, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation.”

You are carrying His character, nature, chemistry, power (dunamis), etc. That is why you cannot be defeated in life – no matter the Tsunami of satanic attacks, satanic mountains, giants, battles or challenges confronting you! No matter what the devil does, it will always be a ladder to your destiny’s zenith! Yes! In Christ, misfortune is your best fortune! ALL things work for your good!

You are unbeatable because He is UNBEATABLE! The seed of victory is in you and there is nothing you cannot face and deal with to win! Put off the “victim- mentality.” Wear the “Victor-mentality.” As 2019 ends, go and win today! Go and win daily! In Him, you are UNSTOPPABLE!

It takes a year to prepare for the January World Anointing Night’; let God use you! People’s testimonies from that night shall provoke your own through your seed.
Sow your World Anointing Night seed into: MANNA MIRACLE MOUNTAIN MINISTRY (JWAN UBA ACCT NO: 1015310823 or an account on page 29 of ODM.

2. I was created in Christ Jesus! I decree that NOTHING will stop me again in Jesus name. I was created in Christ Jesus! I decree that my character and life will reflect every good thing in Jesus name. I reject SIN!
3. I cancel every evil plot to destroy the seed of glory in me. Pray about today now.

TOPIC: JEHOVAH THE NAVAL AND
INFANTRY GOD!

SCRIPTURE: PSALM 64: 1 – 10

Saul could not face Goliath because his confidence was based on shaky ground. Hear what he told David in 1 Samuel 17:33 , Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” This means that Saul could not go out to face Goliath because that was the same thing he reasoned about himself. GOLIATH WAS MORE EXPERIENCED IN FIGHTING THAN HE (SAUL) WAS!

As far as Saul was concerned, Goliath was the strongest and most experienced fighter on the battle field that day. Saul based his confidence on EXPERIENCE! But Saul forgot that Israel had a God who is called the ANCIENT OF DAYS! His other name is “JEHOVAH THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE.” He does not need to have EXPERIENCE because He is the EXPERIENCE Himself! He is the MANUFACTURER of EXPERIENCE!

He was the God who parted the Red Sea. He was the God who disgraced Pharaoh and taught him a lesson in SEA WARFARE! Did Pharaoh not die in a watery grave? He fed his body to ocean fishes for breakfast! Wow! He paralyzed and humbled the proud city of JERICHO and taught them a lesson in LAND WARFARE! Wow! So, He is the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE in NAVAL WAR (Pharaoh) and INFANTRY WAR (Jericho)!

Halleluyah! He is COMPLETE in war! Saul forgot that JEHOVAH was the God who helped Abraham and his 318 servants to defeat the armies of 4 countries ( Genesis 14:14 ). Oh, I am jumping even as I write on this little night table right now! Thank you Jesus! If there is ever a time to forget God, make sure you don’t forget Him when “Goliath” has come to take over your territory! Every Goliath that has confronted you this year will be disgraced!
Look up to this God, “JEHOVAH THE NAVALAND INFANTRY SPECIALIST!” He Is Your Victory, Confidence And Your Surety Of Glory! You will NEVER be ashamed! Lift up your hands and praise Him now!

Sow the 2020 ODM and new “War Against Haman- 15” as Christmas/New Year gifts to others even as you prepare for the 2020 annual January 21-day worldwide prayer and fasting programme (January 11th-January 31st 2020).

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of victory as led.

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word now.
2. Lord God, my confidence is in Your MIGHTY EXPERIENCE. You are the winner in the air, land and sea! Arise and fight for me today (Pray it for 5 days).
3. Father, fill me with a fresh dose of confidence. I command every Goliath to run mad! Witches and wizards; die and scatter! You marine powers, DRY UP in Jesus name!
4. Pray about today as you are led now.
5. Pray for me, Dr Chris, and the ODM crew for a renewal of strength and grace!

TOPIC: WATCH THE CENTRAL PLACE

BASIC SCRIPTURES: 3 JOHN 2; 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 9-16

It is true that all lasting success and prosperity begins on the inside. Today’s scripture, Vs 2, ‘I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. In other words, your prosperity, goodness, grace, multiplication and health is a function of the prosperity of your soul. It starts with what happens on the inside.

When you have prospered on your inside, there is nothing the devil can do to stop you from prospering on the outside. You are not a mere combination of chemicals, made in the image of God. You have an inside, a soul, an essence and a spiritual core to your personality! In today’s 2nd scripture (KJV), Vs 16, the apostle Paul refers to it as your “inward man.”

Oh! Just as bones have piths, trees have rings and a center, the earth has a core, the solar system has a sun and the atom has a nucleus, so you have an essential, eternal essence and CENTER. It’s the seat and substance of who you are, and it needs CONSTANT STRENGTHENING. It is in that CENTRAL PLACE of your life that God strengthens you!
This is what be successful as a father, mother, husband, wife or in your career business, etc! That is what determines your GENERAL FAVOUR and prosperity! In a world of chaos and battles you need STRENGTH in your INNER MAN – your spirit and soul – in order to win! That is the meaning of today’s 1st scripture, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.”

As 2019 ends, spend time to FEED and PROSPER your SOUL through regular and disciplined Bible studies, personal fasting and prayers! These are two major FOOD ITEMS for your inner man – YOUR SOUL! Never postpone your Bible study and prayer hour! Living holy to avoid INNER GUILT is also a crucial diet! So, arise daily and draw strength for the journey – PROSPER YOUR SOUL! FEED IT DAILY!

TOPIC: “HE WHO HAS GOD ONLY! A NEW REVELATION!”.

BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 17:1-9

In Genesis 17 (today’s scripture), God appeared to Abram the seventh time and revealed a new phase of Himself to Abram. He said, “I am the Almighty God.” Why did God start by introducing Himself in a new way?
Why did God start by giving Abram a new revelation of Himself? Because He was about to do a new and glorious thing in his life. And as 2019 ends, that is what He is set to do in your life, family and ministry!
As 2019 ends, you will receive a new revelation of the Almighty God and you will receive an unusual end-of-year VISITATION from His ALMIGHTY HAND. Abram was ninety-nine years, Sarai his wife was ninety years; they were both old and all hope of ever giving birth to their own child or children was gone. But the One who is called ALMIGHTY says that “I still have something to offer; I offer you Myself.

I introduce Myself to you in order to introduce you into a HIGHER LEVEL OF MY GRACE.” No matter how 2019 has been, NOTE THIS: There is no irreversible situation that cannot be reversed! This ALMIGHTY GOD is saying to you today: Trust me. I am your miracle! I am your breakthrough! I am your healing! I am your provision! I am everything you need and everything you want!’
And as I write this morning, the words of C.S. Lewis rings deep in my spirit, “He who has God and everything else has no more than he who has God only. IF YOU HAVE GOD, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING because DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL! He who has God Almighty can never be disadvantaged! Abraham had nothing, no strength, no desire, no hope, but HE HAD GOD. Just as He did not end up in shame, you will not end up in shame!

TOPIC: SHE DANCED AT A STREET CALLED “HOPELESSNESS!”

BASIC SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 6: 10-28

Share with me and connect to the good news report below:Thank God for this vision sir! I want to thank God for His faithfulness in my life. I vowed to testify so that others read my story too and hold on to my “OVERDO” GOD. I have been an ODM user for years now and have never failed to read every edition. For years now, I have been trusting God for my marital settlement.

After years of delay, “Jehovah Overdo” settled me in this year 2019 (January) – after which the devil came back. My husband happened to be based abroad. Immediately after the marriage, he started preparing my papers for me to join him over there. The process started and then ceased even though nothing was wrong. I kept fasting and trusting God because “distant marriage” of separation and living apart wasn’t what I prayed for.
I went through a lot of discouragement and tears, in addition to get getting thoughts that all hope was lost. However, I gathered myself together and partook in the last 2019 July 14-day WORLDWIDE ODM FÁSTING PROGRAMME. To God be the glory, just a few days after the fasting program, God surprised me with my visa grant. I give God all the Chris! Please share my testimony is alive!!! (From Ndaguba Jane Onyinye, +234 7035-1363-29).”

Notice that she wrote that she was trusting God for marital settlement FOR YEARS! Indeed, we all want instant and quick results but God’s calendar is not man’s calendar! After years of delay, her husband came back from ABROAD! Oh God! You are ALL WISE! This is why, no matter how 2019 has been, you must NEVER QUIT trusting Jehovah! Stop envying others because your testimony will be very special.

Just as she experienced DIVINE SURPRISE, when ALL HOPE SEEMED LOST, so shall be your story! A wise man said: “Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.” Always remember that the greatest oak was once a little nut which held its ground.
No wonder Jackson Brown penned: “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins- not through strength but by perseverance.” No matter how 2019 has been, hold on and hold out like DANIEL in the lions’ den. God will make a way for you even at the last minute! Yes! Hold on and hold out your best worship song to God.

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best worship song to God.

1. In your own words, pray about today’s word a
2. Pray about this new month! Cancel premature death!
3. God of Daniel, even when all HOPE SEEMED lost and the KING his helper, became helpless, You showed up for Daniel. Lord, show up again! Lord, do it again! I refuse to quit now! I reject depression, self-pity or comparing myself to others. I look up you and I know I shall testify in Jesus name.
4. Pray for the family whose testimony was used today.
5. LORD, use my life and ministry to show to the world that YOU ARE A REWARDER of men in Jesus name:
6. Pray about today seriously now.

TOPIC: SEE YOUR RESET BUTTON! DON’T LOOK BACK!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: NUMBERS 14:1 – 17

Millions of Israelites left Egypt, but many of them could not leave Egypt behind. When those ten spies gave their evil report, they began planning how to go back. No matter how 2019 has been, hear this: Settle The Past And Settle It Once And For All You Are Not Going Back! Maybe it has to do with the fact that you made some mistakes, people betrayed you or some of your prayers have not been physically answered, despite your fasting and prayers!

In these last days of 2019, resolve that THE PAST WILL BE THE PAST! Determine that you will focus on your days and years ahead! Resolve that you will not look back! Keep your focus on the Promised Land and not on the giants. See Ron Walker: “It is important for pain our past left behind and open up to the us to let go of the hurt and possibilities of what the future may hold.”

Keep your focus on the milk and honey flowing in the land that God has hour Reset Button.” promised you. Hear Tamara Tilleman: “Every single day is an opportunity for you to start anew; I call this my 24-No matter the challenge you are faced with now, focus on your RESET BUTTON and know that there are many “TOMORROWS AHEAD for you! Edner Ferber opined, “Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.”

Funny but true! When a dead person is buried, he/she is buried! No matter how bad that person was, no one goes to the grave, to dig it up and jail the corpse! Treat your past like that! Treat those hurts and wounds like that! BURY THEM AND FORGET THEM! Conduct the OBITUARY of YOUR PAST! future, it’s brighter, beautiful and sweeter than everything in your yesterday!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: ACTS 12:1 – 11

It was Bill Maher who penned: “Don’t get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance. That’s a great food for thought in today’s devotional! DON’T TOLERATE INTOLERANCE! Don’t accept what your Father God has not planted in your life! Don’t allow your life, family and ministry to become a GARBAGE BIN! Father Dominique Pire noted: “Let us not speak of tolerance.

This negative word implies grudging concessions by smug consciences. Rather, let us speak of mutual understanding and mutual respect.” That’s right! You cannot allow the devil to use that word to turn your life into STUPID LAND! Don’t tolerate evil, sickness, satanic delays, failure, oppression, etc! Don’t tolerate disrespect to your person and vision! Don’t allow any person to be comfortable at disrespecting you.
In fact, give the gift of your ABSENCE to anyone who does not respect your presence! Yes! Catch this: When the political powers that be seized James, the church “tolerated” it and they kept quiet! After some days, James was killed! Verse 3 says, “When he saw that the Jews were glad that James had been killed, he took his assault a step further by arresting Peter too” (my paraphrase). Did you get that?

When you keep quiet and decide to “endure” the assault and onslaught of the enemy, he will be encouraged to seize more and more of what rightfully belongs to you! Oh! Satan is a liar! Put an end to tolerating intolerance! God will not rise up to fight for you if you don’t authorise Him with your prayers. Notice that the death of the man of God (i.e. James, the brother of John) brought joy to the Jews! But here is the truth: IT DID NOT BRING JOY TO GOD!
Note also that no matter how good/holy you are, some people will not be happy with you. They will be so sad that you are alive! Your progress or having a job angers some people! When you are happily married, some people fast and pray to scatter it! Yes! Some people take pleasure in your destruction! They have sworn that they will not sleep until your life, family, and ministry are reduced to nothing! Ah! Your God will not give you into their hands!
As 2019 ends and 2020 is set to roll in, let the devil know that ENOUGH is ENOUGH; You are not a GARBAGE BIN! You will not tolerate ANY RUBBISH or SATANIC INTOLERANCE again! Pray now and declare a 3-day fast against any DEMONIC GARBAGE! Return to sender now!

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best worship song to God.

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word now.
2. Enough is enough! I return to sender whatever my God has not planted in my life, family, and ministry (mention them).
3. I refuse to tolerate any NONSENSE! I arise and return it back to sender 7 fold in Jesus name.
4. Pray about today! UPROOT EVIL GANG-UPS! Pray in Tongues seriously now!

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE
SERPENT! -2

BASIC SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 10:16-21;PSALM 94:8-14

Welcome to another encounter in the school of wisdom! The Holy
Ghost is pleased again to use the life and character of the serpent to
teach us some life lessons. Yesterday we considered two lessons from the
serpent. Now let’s consider the third. 3. The serpent has a slippery tongue
and before it can swallow anything, it first of all makes its prey slippery
through its saliva. The serpent does not use its tongue against itself but
against its adversary. The lesson here is that you must learn to use your
tongue wisely.
Don’t use your tongue to destroy yourself when you talk
about people negatively; when you lie, gossip and promote rumours, you
are using your tongue against yourself. Don’t comment on every matter or
issue. Use your tongue wisely this year. 4. The serpent does not listen to
everything. It is very sensitive to what it hears. Wow! Psalm 58:4-5 says,
“..They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear, which will not hearken
to the voice of charmers.” SNAKE CHARMERS use music to confuse
SERPENTS in order to capture them!
So, most serpents have what is called “JUNGLE DEAFNESS!” They are called in the scripture above, the DEAF
ADDER – THE DEAF SERPENT! Wow! Likewise, the Holy Ghost wants
you to be deaf to rumours concerning others, to gossip, to bad economic
news: be deaf to the doctor’s bad report, be deaf to fearful TV news, be deaf
to demonic threats from enemies, but be open to what will edify you. Close
your ears to certain things you hear about yourself, your wife. husband
our boss your best friend and your pastors, etc. Be like the snake that
closes her ears in order to escape danger. 5. The serpent changes its skin.
Wow! A snake can be twenty years old, but wakes up one morning
and changes the whole skin to become a brand new, young serpent. What is
the lesson here for us? There are people who have the same circle of friends
since birth and that is why they are what they are and where they are in life.
So you must change your friends. Everybody cannot be in your life forever.
Oh! If nobody has ever walked out of your life, then check your life and
change your skin. Once in a while, change your friends and relationships. To
have the same people in your life is not a compliment.
Anybody who is not carrying you forward must go this
year!
Note this: After a snake changes its skin, it migrates. It doesn’t stay
where it changes its skin. So when the skin changes, location changes. I decree that as you change your skin, your level will also change! I see great ELEVATION COMING ahead in 2020! Jesus moved away from some people, Abraham at a stage had to separate himself from
Lot. Somebody must go for you to move forward. The second reason why
a snake changes her skin is to look young.
RENEW your OIL daily in the
secret place of your God! Run from the end of year hustle and bustle and
renew your divine youth like the eagle ( Psalm 92:14 ). I decree: Your best
days are still ahead. Amen and amen!

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Higher ground…

1. Thank God for His Word today.
2. Repent now from ways you’ve not been using your tongue well.
3. LORD. help me to use my tongue wisely this year. My tongue
shall not destroy me.
4. O God, I block my ears to gossip and rumours and I loose my
tongue to hear things that are edifying. Pray about today now.

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE
SERPENT! – 1

Basic Scripture: MATTHEW 10:16-21; PSALM 119:95-98

Welcome! Verse 16 of today’s first scripture says, “Behold, I send
you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as
serpents, and harmless as doves.” Jesus made reference to the wisdom
of the serpent because the serpent is the wisest creature on earth. Of all
God’s creation, two animals are the wisest – the snake and the fox. But
Jesus did not say, “BE AS WISE AS THE FOX!” Oh! The fox’s wisdom/
craftiness is for cheating and harming others, but the wisdom of the
snake is to protect itself. So Jesus said if you want to succeed on earth, be
as wise as the serpent because there are too many crafty foxes/wolves on
earth. Your best friend, business partner, colleague or neighbour can be
a wolf.

Oh! Your husband/wife can be a wolf! The word, “subtle” used to
describe the serpent in Genesis 3:1 means “harmless.” The serpent’s
wisdom is for SELF-DEFENCE and to protect itself. This is because the
serpent is the only cursed animal on earth and for it to navigate its way
and survive the harsh jungle justice of the animal kingdom, it must apply
uncommon wisdom. The following are tips on the wisdom of the serpent:
1. The serpent does not go in a straight line. The serpent doesn’t go in a straight line in order to
CONFUSE other bigger animals like the elephant, lion, etc. When the serpent
was cursed, it became the lowest and most vulnerable creature. So to survive on land, water or forest, among other animals and mankind, it needed to make itself unpredictable and complicated in its movement. The lesson here is that in order for you to win in this wicked world.
Be unpredictable in your life, family, career, business and ministry! Don’t reveal secrets! Don’t let people understand or know your next plan always! Don’t be too simple! Even God doesn’t reveal all things. He didn’t reveal to Abraham the location where the sacrifice will take place until Abraham obeyed Him. You must do likewise!
2. A serpent will always curl. It curls to have heat and to organize itself for battle. The curling of the snake also represents discipline! You must discipline yourself to win! Have
time for the Word daily. Do not compromise your quiet time with God!
Declare a personal fast time and stick to it.
Be disciplined in your career,
business and whatever you do. Avoid procrastination in spiritual things
and in your goals; follow up every plan with the required action, and be
organized. Today’s 2nd scripture in Vs. 98 says, “Thou through Thy
commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies…” Wow! This is
the plan of God: to corrupt the wisdom of your enemies and make you
wiser than them.
As 2019 ends, be as wise as the serpent! Don’t be too
simple! BE UNPREDICTABLE and sometimes COMPLICATED! Keep
your mouth shut, keep secrets and be disciplined! Ah! You will never be
a PREY to your ADVERSARIES in Jesus name! Pray now!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of adoration to God now.

1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now.
2. LORD, as 2019 ends, deliver me from the activities of foxes and wolves!
3. You wolves around my life, family and ministry, dry up now by fire
in Jesus name.
4. Pray about today seriously!

TOPIC: THE NEW GOSHEN IS HERE!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1Peter 2:6-12

In this time and age, it is very easy to get lost in the crowd. It is very easy to assume that you are just like the average Joe, trying to make ends meet, and hoping that the government doesn’t do something bad. It’s very easy to think that you are vulnerable to everything and anything that comes down the road, sickness, storms, tornados, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, plagues, epidemics, political turmoil, economic depression and every kind of evil thing.

Hear St Augustine: “ God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” Pay close attention to today’s scripture AGAIN! It says in Vs.9 that you are “A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.” It says that HE HAS CALLED US OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT!
This means that in this world, some people are in darkness, and some people are in God’s marvellous light . There is a. different calling upon your life. Just as God called Abraham to go out of his father’s house and country. God has called you to be different. Don’t see yourself like every other person.” You are different, unique and peculiar! You have a unique purpose and call upon your life.

You have something within you that makes you a conqueror over all those bad things that plague people in the darkness of this world. YOUR CASE IS DIFFERENT like in the case of the JEWS in the land of Goshen! There was light/peace in their land even when THICK DARKNESS/plagues was all over EGYPT! That same God is your God! You are the new GOSHEN of this generation (See Ex 8: 22-23 ; 10: 21- 23 )! God’s design is for you to reign over whatever is afflicting others! Yes! You are small, you are just one person, but you are AWESOME and PECULIAR! Elisabeth Elliot said: “If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big’.” As 2019 ends and 2020 begins, know that with God on your side, you are NOT SMALL or LITTLE! You are ROYAL! Peculiar! Unlimited and unstoppable! Hold on! Look up and hold out!
Today is the annual WOMEN DELIVERANCE/Thanksgiving Service of the Manna Women Interdenominational Power Conference! Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Ogudu Orioke, Lagos! It will be a day with the KING! See you 8am!

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best song of worship now.

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led.
2. I am the new GOSHEN of my generation! My CASE is different! Lord, do the UNCOMMON in my life, family and ministry in Jesus name.
3. Pray about today! I am PECULIAR! I am not INFERIOR to anybody! I will never be lost in the crowd in Jesus name. Pray about today seriously..

TOPIC: DO WHAT YOU CAN DO! LAZARUS WILL RISE AGAIN!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: JOHN 11:33 – 44

Millions of people are waiting for God to move on their behalf, while God is waiting for them to make a move. God’s power is always released when a man performs his role. Do what you can do, and God will do what you can’t do. Moses could stretch out the rod, but he could not part the Red Sea! That was God’s job and duty. Mary and Martha could roll away the stone but they could not raise Lazarus from the dead.

That was Jesus’ area of specialization. Isaac could sow in the land during a time of famine, but he could not make his crops yield fruit. That was the responsibility of Jehovah Overdo. Indeed, For Every Miracle That You Desire, God Has A Role And You Have A Role! When you step out in faith to play your part, God will perform His own part and you will see the victory you desire.

As 2019 ends, step out in faith and do what you can do. Reject fear or procrastination! The LORD is saying to 27,900 users of today’s devotional: “Fear not! YOU CAN STILL DO SOMETHING! It is NOT and NEVER too late! Focus on Me and allow Me to MAKE IT HAPPEN!” Oh, thank you Lord Jesus! So, no matter how this year has been, hold on in faith to your God and refuse to give up now!
Remember as I repeat this as led: For Every Miracle That You Desire, God Has A Role And You Have A Role! Mary And Martha Could Roll Away The Stone But They Could Not Raise Lazarus From The Dead. That Was Jesus’ Area Of Specialization. You are next to do something by faith! Roll away that stone! He will roll away SHAME!
Don’t miss the anointing service of this weekend! Theme: THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN! See you this Saturday, 7am at Ogudu Mountain, Lagos! Yes! In life, the greatest FORTUNE is sometimes called MISFORTUNE! That IMPOSSIBLE battle will bow to the anointing! Hold on! Hold out! Pray now!

Today is Lagos (Ogudu) Anointing Service! TIME: 8am-11.30am. Theme: “THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN” WOMEN DELIVERANCE SERVICE IS TOMORROW, Sunday 27th October, 2019! Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Ogudu Orioke, Lagos. I shall lay hands on the heads, the hands and wombs of all ladies/women present!

PRAYER POINTS : Take Song 2: It is well with my soul… Worship God with your best song of worship now.

1. You demonic delays holding back my testimonies, be terminated now in Jesus name (Pray it for 3 days).
2. I rejoice! That battle will end! Lazarus must RISË again! Lord, disappoint the expectation of my haters in Jesus name!
3. Pray about the Anointing service and pray about today! Prepare to be there!

TOPIC: HIS THUMBPRINT IS ON YOU! KEEP MOVING!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 19: 17 – 26

One of the temptations every man or woman must prepare to face and resolve to overcome is the temptation to look back! The instruction of the angel in Verse 17 of today’s scripture is clear: “Escape for your life, DO NOT LOOK BEHIND YOU…” If you have no future to look forward to, it will be impossible to resist the temptation to look back. Lot’s wife had no future to look forward to.

She had lived all her life for Sodom and Gomorrah and not for Jehovah God. Because she had nothing to look forward to, she looked back, and she became a pillar of salt ( Genesis 19:26 ). Do you know that the rear view mirror of a car is always smaller than the wind shield? This is because it is more important to focus on where you are going to, than where you have left behind.
I will say that again, in another way. Nothing Is More Important To You Now Than where You Are Going To. Pay More Attention To Where You Are Going To Than To Where And What You Have Left Behind. What have you left behind? What abusive relationships have you left behind? What are those hurtful things in your past that you have left behind?

The truth is let go unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward. Hear Martin Luther King Jnr: “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” C.S. Lewis admonished thus: “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
I remember Byron Pulsifer: “What is past is past and it does not forebode well to relive past mistakes or transgressions. Move forward rather than being stuck in the past. No one can redo the past but everyone can create a better future.” As 2019 ends, the Spirit of God is charging you today: DON’T LOOK BACK because God’s THUMBPRINT IS ON YOU! Your life will show the world that MIRACLES still happen! Hold on! Hold out!


PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Higher ground…

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led.
2. I will not look back. I will move forward and higher into the brighter future that God has for me in Jesus name.
3. I am marching forward! Lord, use my life to show the world that MIRACLES still happen (Pray it seriously for 7 days).
4. Pray about today as led now. Pray for me. Pray about the Lagos anointing service!

TOPIC: INCLINE! INCLINE! INCLINE!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: ISAIAH 30: 18 – 23; PROVERBS 4:20-21

There are many voices in the world, and if you want to fulfil your destiny and enjoy God’s best in this world, you must learn how to identify and follow God’s voice. Our second scripture (NKJV) says: “… Incline your ear to my sayings.” Note the word “INCLINE”! If you’re going to hear God clearly in these last days, you will have to discipline yourself to pay attention to Him.

To INCLINE means to deliberately MAKE EFFORT AND BEND to listen to someone or something! The word “INCLINE” also shows that there will be MANY DISTRACTIONS and MUCH NOISE so it will take some deliberate BENDING, (INCLINING) to enable you to HEAR and SEEK DIRECTION FROM GOD! You can’t incline your ears to the newspapers and expect to hear God’s voice. You can’t incline your ears to the doctor’s report and expect to hear God’s voice.

If you are trusting God for healing, then you need to incline your ear to the voice of healing. What you desire and trust God for is what you should incline your ear unto! Refuse to be distracted and tempted into paying attention to other voices. The voice you pay attention to is the voice you will follow. As 2019 ends, may you hear a voice saying, “THIS IS THE WAY; WALK IN IT” on every matter (Today’s 1st scripture, Vs 21)!

Determine that, throughout the remaining days of this year Against all odds, INCLINE, INCLINE, INCLINE, BEND, BEND AND BEND! WOMEN DELIVERANCE FIRE! Sunday 27th October, 2019 is ANNUAL ANOINTING/Thanksgiving Service of the Manna Women Interdenominational Power Conference. Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Ogudu Orioke, Lagos. Your Lazarus will rise again as I also lay hands on all women this SUNDAY, 8am.

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of adoration as led now.

1. Thank God for today and for the leading of His Spirit.
2. Pray about today’s word as it has touched you. 3. As 2019 ends, I determine to INCLINE and BEND towards the WORD! I reject laziness/procrastination! Lord, teach me, instruct me, enlighten me and help me to become all that you have destined me to be. I scatter DISCOURAGEMENT!
4. I shall not hear the voice of strangers! Every demonic and strange voice assigned to corrupt my vision and dream, be silenced now by the fire of the Holy Ghost!
5. Pray in tongues now and scatter every END-OF-YEAR EVIL NETWORK working against your destiny (Pray for 3 days).
6. If you are NOT SURE you are really BORN AGAIN, see page 28 of this booklet and pray the prayers there NOW!

TOPIC: RESIST INDIGESTION NOW!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14; 1 SAMUEL 13: 5 – 14

It was billionaire businessman, Naveen Jain, who said “Great entrepreneurs focus intensely on opportunities where others see nothing. This focus and intensity helps to eliminate wasted effort and distractions. Most companies die from indigestion rather than starvation, i.e., companies suffer from doing too many things at the same time rather than doing too few things very well.”

Wow! THE PRINCIPLE OF INDIGESTION (thinking of so many things and fighting so many battles at the same time). It has led to SHAME and the DEFEAT of many! As 2019 is ending, the Holy Ghost is still screaming out the need for you to KEEP YOUR FOCUS! End of the year is a season when millions lose their FOCUS which they had in January! They lose their trust! This happens because of the attack of DELAYS and intense thoughts of DISCOURAGEMENT!
No matter how 2019 has been, refuse to lose your focus now! As long as there is life, there is GREAT HOPE that you will STILL SING YOUR NEW SONG! Yes! You will still fast again – 21 DAYS in 2020 and you will still be at the TBS LAGOS for the LAST DAY ANOINTING SERVICE – ELEVATION NIGHT! Tell the devil, you are not a quitter! That is the power of focus!

King Saul lost his FOCUS and lost his throne because of a FEW MINUTES of IMPATIENCE! He was in a hurry and was probably angry against his God (JEHOVAH) and His prophet (Samuel). The key to ELEVATION and a GREATER TOMORROW is to FOCUS on where you are going, AGAINST ALL ODDS! The key
to progress is focus! The key to fulfilling destiny is focus! No wonder Paul declared, “This ONE THING I do! ( Philippians 3:13 ).
What is that “ONE THING” that God has called you to do? The ONE THING you must do is summarised in two words – “FOCUS/TRUST (F&T)! Yes, two words in one – the “F&T” SECRET! See where you are going (FOCUS) and TRUST YOUR GOD AGAINST ALL ODDS! Hear the words of Kris Humphries: “I’m someone who always comes on the court no matter what’s going on in my life.
It’s all about basketball, regardless of what’s going on or what people are talking about.” That’s stubborn focus! Go and live likewise! I see INDIGESTION ending! I see Focus and Faith rising! Hold on and hold out!

Today is the beginning of Women Interdenominational Power Conference. Theme: “DANCING IN THE RAIN” Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Lagos. Your Lazarus will rise again as I also lay hands on all women this SUNDAY, 8am.

TOPIC: I AM DETERMINED! THE PERFECTER IS AT WORK!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: HEBREWS 12: 1- 15

It was Dan Gable who penned: “Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.” He was talking about the DETERMINATION to finish WHATEVER you start until you get your PRIZE! As 2019 ends and no matter how your year has been resolve that you will be a GOOD FINISHER!
Resolve that you will not finish this year in depression, complaining, bitterness, secret anger against God, wishing for the unknown, jealousy, envying others, comparing yourself to others, not forgiving yourself for your mistakes, etc. Be like your Father God! He has never started a project and abandoned it halfway.
God is not a God that will get Himself involved in something and then run out of energy somewhere along the way and finish in defeat. He is a finisher! He is not just a finisher, He does a perfect job. Today’s Word(Vs.2; KJV) says, He is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of your faith! In the NIV, “FINISHER” is translated as “PERFECTER.” That means He PERFECTS all that concerns you!

Everything may not be what you want it to be now, but your God is PERFECTING your destiny! That is why YOU MUST NEVER QUIT NOW! The PERFECTER is at work! See your greater tomorrow! I was told 2020 will be a year of great ELEVATION for the ODM prophetic family and God’s people! Get ready to end 2019 well, in DETERMINATION to PRESS ON into 2020 – the year of ELEVATION.

Then get ready to do the 21-day fasting programme of January again. Get ready too to be at the end- of- fast WORLD ANOINTING ELEVATION NIGHT at the TBS Lagos, Nigeria – January 31st, 7pm. WHEN YOU BECOME DETERMINED IN FAITH, YOU BECOME UNSTOPPABLE! Close with Samuel Johnson: “Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.
Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.” The woman in Luke 8: 43 , was determined and she became a great testimony of the LORD as a FINISHER/PERFECTER after years of shame – disgraceful blood flow! Praise God, she was not disappointed and you too will not be disappointed. Look up! Be determined! The PERFECTER is still on duty for you!
WOMEN DELIVERANCE/ANOINTING! Tomorrow is WOMEN INTERDENOMINATIONAL POWER CONFERENCE. Theme: “DANCING IN THE RAIN.” Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Lagos. Your Lazarus will rise again! I see marital restoration and divine connections as I also lay hands on all women this SUNDAY, 8am.

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 2: It is well with my soul…

1. In your own words, pray seriously on today’s word.
2. See Psalm 138: 8 ! I can never be an abandoned project! I determine to hold on as I look to my PERFECTER in Jesus name.
3. Oh PERFECTER of destinies; perfect all that concerns the following areas of my life, family and ministry (mention them now). Pray about today seriously! Cancel the loss of a child!

TOPIC: GIVERS MUST HAVE LIMITS!

Basic Scripture: ISAIAH 54: 10-17

It was funny news! A popular street tout in Lagos Nigeria, Shoki Shitta, pleaded with the secular musician “Davido” for another money gift. The story goes that, months earlier, Shoki Shitta was physically beaten and was badly hurt by another street tout for declaring support for the musician popularly called, “Davido instead of supporting another musician popularly called, “Wizkid.”
daily bible study

When the incident happened, Davido gave him 1 million naira(Nigerian currency) to appreciate him for his support. But recently, the street tout cried out again that he needed more money because he had finished spending the 1 millon naira gift. Funny but true! But the Holy Ghost wants you to know this: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU GIVE GIFTS TO, BECAUSE MOST WILL ALWAYS COME BACK AGAIN FOR MORE!
Also, the Holy Ghost wants you to know that GIVERS MUST SET LIMITS BECAUSE TAKERS HAVE NO LIMITS! Yes! Have you not become an enemy to someone because when they returned to take more from you, it was not granted? I am being shown that about 614 ODM users are fighting battles because of the gifts they gave in the past! 120 started a journey of DEMOTION after they helped someone!

230 out of that number have LETHAL (deadly) ENEMIES because they said “NO” to someone who came to ask for help! Fear not! The Holy Ghost is telling me to give you
Isaiah 54: 17 as your divine BULLET PROOF! No weapon fashioned against you will stand! Every evil weapon will return to sender and your good will PROMOTE YOU BY FORCE in Jesus name! Know that some people will always forget the good you do; they will forget the day you told them “YES.”

They will only remember the day you said, “NO.” But you must learn to say “NO” sometimes because NOT ALL GROUND (life) IS GOOD FOR YOU TO SOW! Some people’s lives are BAD SOIL for your seed! You must watch and pray before you sow seeds to people. NOT ALL SEEDS WILL GROW INTO HARVEST! If the ground is bad, your seed will die! Help as many as you can help but be led by the Holy Ghost!
And if you discover that someone keeps coming back to you for fish, etc, then teach them how to catch fish themselves! Always remember that GIVERS MUST HAVE LIMITS because TAKERS HAVE NO LIMITS!

DONT MISS THE LAGOS (OGUDU) ANOINTING SERVICE OF THIS SATURDAY October 26th; TIME: 8am-11.30am. Theme: “THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN.” I shall lay hands on the heads, the hands and wombs of ladies/women present! ALL MEN: DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF RAISING YOUR LAZARUS! AH! I HEAR A NEW SONG!

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best worship song to God.

1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now. Lord, grant me the wisdom to SET LIMITS even as I give daily.
2. Lord, guide me never to WASTE MY SEED. Show me any BAD GROUND sent to swallow up my SEED.
3. I take back my wasted HARVEST! I take back my victory! I take back the RESTORATION of whatever I lost as a result of any gift I have ever given to others in Jesus name! Pray in Tongues seriously!
4. I decree the EARTH to swallow up every evil prayer or satanic weapon thrown against my destiny, life, career or business, etc in Jesus name.

TOPIC: LOVE ALL! TRUST A FEW!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:3; 2 CORINTHIANS 9.5-7

Welcome to today’s devotional with the Holy Spirit, the giver of all good gifts. Note from today’s first scripture that a gift that is not filled with and wrapped with love is no gift at all. It’s not your gift that counts (that is, the physical thing, or the physical act of service), rather it is the love that the receiver feels that matters. It is the attitude that backs your giving that counts.

No wonder the Bible says, “God loves a cheerful giver” (second scripture). A hand that gives must be supported with a heart that gives. If your hands give, but your heart withholds, you are not giving with a heart of love. Oh! I remember William Shakespeare: “LOVE all; TRUST a few! Do wrong to none!” LOVE MUST BE SEEN AS A VERB; AN ACTION WORD!

No wonder Martin Luther King said: “In the end, we will remember, not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” And it’s always a LOUD SILENCE that bleeds! Love involves LISTENING to OTHERS! Love means you are a SOLUTION to others, despite your own battles! But catch this warning: Be careful who you talk to about your battles, because a listening ear could also be a RUNNING MOUTH – a gossip!

Close with the saintly Mother Theresa: “A life not lived for others is not a life.” Live your life for God and live it to be a blessing to those you meet daily as 2019 ends and your 2020 ELEVATION year begins!
WOMEN DELIVERANCE/LAYING ON OF HANDS: Be at the ANNUAL Manna Women Interdenominational Power Conference. Theme: “DANCING IN THE RAIN.” Date: 23rd – 25th October, 2019.

TOPIC: HE REGRETTED WINNING
THE LOTTERY!

Basic Scripture: Genesis 16: 1-16

There is a sure way to increase, and there is a fast way to increase! One of the FASTEST WAYS to become a millionaire is to win the lottery but IT IS NOT A SURE WAY! A recent study showed that the chances of winning a lottery are l in 304 billion. Also, another research showed that 70% of lottery winners become broke within a few years of winning the lottery! Can you beat that?
One man, Jack Whittaker, won a large sum of $314.9 million; but shortly after his win, his daughter and her friend died due to drug overdose. Whittaker himself developed a drinking problem and became a regular visitor of strip clubs. He was hit by multiple lawsuits, and a large amount of money ($545,000) was stolen from his car. When asked why he carried that amount of money around with him, Whittaker responded, “because I can.”

He lost even more money from his bank account to a scammer. Today, he lives off social security payments and regrets ever buying the ticket in the first place. Ah!
Wealth gotten hastily vanishes! Not just wealth! Indeed, Any Kind Of Premature Breakthrough Always Lead To Permanent Breakdown! Ask Abraham concerning Ishmael! Oh, how about the hundreds of people who smear their hands with all kinds of things in a diabolic HURRY to get faster testimonies! But did ISHMAEL bring PEACE to ABRAHAM? No!

As 2019 ends with certain unfulfilled dreams, always note that: Sometimes arriving too quickly is detrimental! Yes sometimes you have to let your dreams go in order to allow God to bring them back to you- in HIS TIME and in His WAY! The God you serve is never late and rarely early. Time can never be against you because God created your times and seasons! That is why TIME has only one Lord – God Himself.
Keep your trust in Him! Hold on to Him and hold out till your TIME shows up! Yes! It will! Amen and amen!

TOPIC: BE A CANDLE OR A MIRROR!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: JOHN 13: 21-28

It was More who said:
“You should either be like the candle that produces light or like a mirror which reflects it. Pray for love, sow love, show love and share love.”
In 251 A.D. for example, a great plague struck the Greco-Roman world. Memories were revived of a plague a century earlier in which more than a third of the population died. Fear was everywhere.
Those who could afford it fled to the countryside. Those who could not remained in the cities. When they went to the temples, they found them empty, the priests having fled. The streets were filled. The streets where filled with those who had become infected, their families left with no option but to push them out the door.
Christian communities however took an entirely different approach. They saw it as their responsibility to love the sick and dying, so they took them into their homes and nursed them. This action meant that many people recovered who otherwise would have died.

Historians suggest that elementary nursing could have reduced the mortality rate by as much as two thirds, but it also cost a number of Christian workers their lives (culled from – “In the Early Church”, Henry Chadwick). Beloved, we can never talk about us being Christians without genuine love for other believers and people around us.
I have come to discover that one of the easiest ways to either win people to Christ or touch their lives positively is to love them. People are naturally attracted to wherever they feel loved. Jesus said (Paraphrased) – “BY THIS shall ALL men know that you are my disciples – IF YOU LOVE one another”
John 13:35 ). ALL MEN means ALL MEN and ALL NATIONS – LOVE IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE!

If there is a language that every mortal man/woman understands, IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE! No wonder Nanette Matthews opined: “Ignite the fire of lovingkindness in your soul, fuel that fire with understanding and compassion for others, and start a bonfire of love worldwide.”
As 2019 ends, determine to show more kindness and love daily! See 1 Cor. 13 later before bedtime and pray about those qualities of love! Be a candle that shines out love or a mirror that reflects it! You will end 2019 with a testimony that will shock you in Jesus name. Pray now and read 1 Corinthians 13 tonight!

Next week October 23rd, 2019 is the beginning of Manna Women Interdenominational Power Conference . Theme: DANCING IN THE RAIN Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Lagos. Be there! Your Lazarus will rise again! I see 5 fruit-of- the-womb visitations as I lay hands on all women!

ODM PRAYER POINTS: Take a song of adoration to God.

1 Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led.
2. Father, forgive me in any way in which I have not walked in love towards others.
3. Father God, make me Your MIRROR and Your CANDLE! Let my life make a difference as 2019 ends in Jesus name.
4. As I love others sacrificially and show kindness, I call forth destiny helpers into every area of my life and ministry in Jesus name (Pray it seriously).
5. Pray about today seriously, and any other prayer(s) as led.

TOPIC: GATHER THEIR BROKEN PIECES!

Basic Scripture: 1 John 4: 4-12 ; 1 Corinthians 13:13

Many historians believe that central to the rise of Christianity was the simple fact that Christians generously loved each other and their neighbours. They point out that in the ancient world, mercy was generally seen as a character defect that ran counter to justice. Justice demanded that people get what they deserved and was seen as appropriate, whereas mercy extended grace, love, and kindness to people who had done nothing to deserve it.

Yet the Christians valued mercy! Christian communities became places where people tended to live longer and healthier lives, for when they suffered from sickness, poverty or mishap they has brothers and sisters in Christ who provided for their needs. And Christian extended love way beyond the boundaries of family and congregation to their pagan neighbours.

1 john 4: 7-8 says “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves, has been born of God and knows God”. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is is love.” Did you get that? WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD! Wow! I love this BLUNT BOOK – THE BIBLE! It’s acidic and yet edifying! Hear it again – WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD! So, no matter your position in church and no matter how many spiritual gifts you manifest, if you don’t work in line with the 1 Cor 13 bullets, then YOU DON’T KNOW GOD! It means you are going to hell and your salvation is suspicious! Oh God! This is serious! No wonder 1 Cor 13: 13 says: “And now this tree remain; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Hear Vera Nazarian in “The perpetual calendar of inspiration” As quoted: “A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happen to you and me, pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.” Yes!
HELP OTHERS GATHER THEIR BROKEN LIFE PIECES. I remember Jack Welch: “Before you a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about gathering others.”
Close with Maya Angelou: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel.” May your life and ministry be described as THE LOVE EMPIRE!
The Lagos Ogudu Anointing Service is next wek Saturday October 26th; TIME: 8am-11.30am. Theme: “THIS LAZAROUS MUST RISE AGAIN’ Satan will regret!!

ODM PRAYER POINTS: take song 1: Higher ground…

1. Thank God for today’s word and prayer as you led.
2. LORD, use me to help others to gather the broken pieces of their lives in Jesus name.
3. Lord, as I help others and work in love, I shall not lack helpers and I shall not lack the oil of comfort in Jesus name.
4. As I love other sacrificially and show kindness, I call forth destiny helpers into every area of my life and ministry in Jesus name ( PRAY IT SERIOUSLY).
5. Pray about today seriously and any other prayer(s) as led.

TOPIC: HE MEETS YOUR NEEDS! NOT YOUR GREED!

Basic Scripture: Philippians 4: 1-10

My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus” ( Philippians 4: 19 NIV). One of our biggest worries tends to be about our ability to provide for our needs. But it shouldn’t be! The Bible says, “My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus” ( Philippians 4: 19 NIV ). What a joyful promise for those who are in Christ.

God doesn’t promise to meet our greed; GREED IS NOT A NEED! Did you get that? He doesn’t promise a Rolls Royce or an unnecessary mansion. God is not a genie in a bottle, but He does promise to meet all of our needs! Most of us don’t really get this, so we don’t pray for it. One of my favorite verse in the Bible is Psalm 84: 11: “The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right” (NLT).

Take note of these three words: NO GOOD THING . When my kids were growing up, I wanted to give them good things. I wouldn’t withhold anything good from them. I might withhold something bad from them – something that would harm them or something that will cause them to be stunted in their spiritual, physical or emotional growth.
But am not going to withhold something good from them. If I want that as a dad, how much more does a Heavenly Father who is perfect want to do likewise? God solved your biggest problem when He came to Earth and died for you. If He was willing to do that, don’t you think He cares for other issues you’re dealing with?
Absolutely! HE CARES ABOUT YOUR CARES! He cares about your finances! He cares about your health! He cares about your career! He cares about you! Also take note of these words: “ MY GOD WILL MEET OR SUPPLY …” It did not say your FRIENDS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, SPOUSE, GOVERNMENT or even PARENTS will meet all your needs.
So stop looking at others or getting disappointed when THEY FAIL TO HELP YOU because God may decide to change HIS SUPPLY ROUTE! Remember Madam Elizabeth Elliot: “ By trying to grab fulfillment EVERYWHERE, we find it NOWHERE.” So, as 2019 ends gradually and 2020 begins, determine to FOCUS on God and God alone as your CHIEF SUPPLIER! HE CARES ABOUT YOUR CARES! Look up!

ODM PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of gratitude as led.

1. Thank the LORD for His care now! Worship Him now.
2. Repent from ways in which you have looked at men or women as your source in the past!
3. I repent from pursuing MY GREED! Lord, purge me day by day.
4. Lord, choose how You will meet MY NEEDS! I refuse to FOCUS on, or get angry with anybody in Jesus name.
5. Scatter every end-of-year arrow of anxiety, WORRY and PANIC!
6. Loose an end of year special testimony! Pray about today now!

Our Daily Manna

TOPIC: GOD WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THEM!

Basic scriptures: Genesis 3: 11-15 ; Isaiah 59: 7-19

Understand that the present serpent/snake is the falling, depraved and cursed snake and it is different from the snake that spoke with Eve! The snake that tempted Eve was gorgeous, beautiful, adorned with many colours. Oh! The Jewish Torah says it was a GLITTERING SNAKE full of many changeable colours like that of a Chameleon.

The serpent that spoke with Eve in the garden was not crawling before; it had legs and it was blessed just like every other creature God created ( Genesis 1:31 ). It was not a crawling creature! It became a crawling creature AFTER THE CURSE! Wow! It was not harmful like today’s snakes. That is why Eve could talk, discuss with it, and got carried away until she was enticed by its words.
But the Holy Ghost wants you to note this: When Jehovah God came down after man ate the fruit, He questioned Adam and Eve but he didn’t ask the serpent anything! He asked Adam (NIV): “Where are you?” ( Gen 3:9 ). Then he asked Eve: “What is this you have done?” ( Gen 3:13 – NIV). After addressing Adam and Eve, God just spoke to the serpent and began to curse it without questions or negotiations!

As 2019 ends, God will NEVER negotiate with the haters of your destiny! What was the mistake of the serpent? The serpent allowed itself to be used against the image of God – Adam and Eve! That means as 2019 ends, your God will never negotiate with anything or anybody that is being used to frustrate or contend with you.

Hear this: “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, ‘because thou has done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou wat all the days of thy life.” Wow! That shall be the story and end of every unrepentant enemy of your destiny. Jehovah shall visit them suddenly and there shall be no negotiation with them.
It was this curse of Gen 3:14 that brought down, humiliated and limited the original gorgeous serpent. It was SUDDENLY DEMOTED to a crawling animal – “upon thy belly (no more legs) shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life.” Oh! I am led to prophesy to you today: Any man or woman that hates you shall go the way of the serpent!

They shall come down and shame shall envelope them as 2019 ends and 2020 begins. They shall crawl and demotion shall be their names! Isaiah 59: 7-8 gives is the mission of your adversaries: Their feet run to do evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths … whoever goeth in shall not know peace.”
The language your haters understand is FIRE-FOR-FIRE WARFARE! Isaiah 59: 19 says, “…When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” Yes! The Spirit of the LORD does not negotiate with the enemy; He will lift up a standard against him! So, hold on, look up and hold out! Lift up the standard of NEVER QUITTING! I see your haters eating dust for your sake! Pray now!

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of warfare now!

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led now.
2. Abba Father! My enemies shall make a FATAL MISTAKE this year in Jesus name.
3. I declare “OPERATION FIRE-FOR-FIRE”; ” OPERATION NO-MERCY; NO NEGOTIATION ” to every enemy of my 2019 now in Jesus name. Pray about today as led now.

TOPIC: FALL SEVEN TIMES, STAND UP EIGHT!

Basic Scriptures: Isaiah 41: 1-10 ; Jeremiah 29: 11

I am reminded of this Japanese proverb: “If you have fallen seven times, stand up eight.” A young man just returned to his parents’ home after being away for a year but his mother immediately knew that he was not what he used to be! He had become unusually quite, withdrawn and was always standing alone staring at nothing: DEPRESSION, THE FIRST MESSENGER OF DEATH!

Whenever his siblings offered to take him out, he would refuse all entreaties, insisting that he wanted to be alone as he was unhappy and sometimes complained about his inability to get a job. It was learnt that the mother woke up at midnight on that day to see if the house doors were locked and no electrical appliances left on as she usually did.
To her utter shock, she saw her son lying in a pool of his blood in the kitchen with a knife protuding out of his body and his bowels ripped out, suggesting suicide; this is a story a come across in the Pinch newspapers recently. The rate at which people are committing suicide WORLDWIDE in the past four months is alarming! It is clearly evident that the spirit of depression and suicide is ravaging nations to take away precious destinies.

Even though we have an account of a few people in the scriptures who committed suicide (king Saul, Samson, Abimelech, Jedas, Zimri, Ahithophel, etc), one truth about each of these stories of suicide is this: they didn’t have to end the way they did. They could have chosen a different destiny “bus-stop.”
God reminds us in stories after stories in His Word that he will never waste the pain we struggle through in this life, but He will INVEST IT and TURN IT AROUND for good! Refuse to allow your personal frustration in life to make you believe that God has forgotten you. Always remember this: THE GOD WHO DIVIDED THE RED SEE INTO TWO, LIVES IN YOU! He who took me CHRIS KWAKPOVWE from suicide, when had written me off, can handle your battles!
Catch this: Suicide shows that you have given up on God while He Himself has not given up on you; it connotes a life of unrepentant disbelief which shrinks the truth of the Father’s love, belittle the Son’s sacrifice, and therefore rejects the ministry of the Holy Spirit. See Jer 29: 11: “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

No matter how the year 2019 has been , the Holy Ghost is saying: there is a future for you! Don’t give up now! Friedrich Nietzche said, “He who has a why to live can bear almost anyhow.” Hold on! Don’t miss the Lagos (Ogudu) Anointing Service of Saturday October 26th; TIME: 8.00am. Theme: “THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN.” It will be a new day!!!

PRAYER POINTS: Take your best worship song to God.

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led’.
2. Spirit of suicide and depression, I rebuke you over my life and family in Jesus name.
3. I overcome the spirit of death and its thought in my life and my family by the blood of Jesus.
4. Lord, change my trouble to triumph in Jesus name.

TOPIC: HARPER CONCERT! CAUSE HEAVEN TO THROW A PARTY! – 2

Basic Scriptures: Proverbs 11: 30 ; 1 Corinthians 9: 7-17

Remember yesterday’s devotional story of the Scottish Evangelist, John Harper? He was preaching even as he was sinking during the crash of the ship – THE TITANIC! That was because he knew that when he made heaven to laugh, laughter would be his final bus-stop! No wonder the great Apostle Paul wrote “for though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” ( 1 Corinthians 9: 16).

For Apostle Paul to curse himself (WOE) if he did not preach the gospel, is a serious eternal matter! Can you curse yourself if you don’t preach…? Hear Charles Finney on Soul Winning – “It is the greatest business of every Christian to save souls. People complain that they do not know how to take hold of this matter. Why? The reason is plain enough; they have never studied it.

They have never taken the proper plain to qualify themselves for the work. If you do not make it a matter of study, how you may successfully act in building up the kingdom of Christ, you are acting a very wicked and absurd part as a Christian. Also hear Ernest Yeboah: “To touch the heart of heaven, win a soul for heaven.” I know you have life’s battles and prayer points but you must refuse to be distracted by the hustle and bustle of life!

What will matter at the end is how many souls you will use to greet the Lord when you appear before Him; how many souls you will present to him as your life’s fruit and trophy! Always remember the Scottish Evangelist, John Harper! (Get and give out ODM as the best evangelism tool).

PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of salvation as led.

1. Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led.
2. Like Paul, I declare aloud today – ‘WOE is me if I did not preach the gospel. Father, forgive my laxity in soul winning; I ask for mercy.’
3. Holy Spirit, set me on fire again!
4. Pray for every lost soul in the world today.
5. I break every barrier to the knowledge of Christ today in the hearts of men.
6. Give out some copies of ODM to souls.
7. Pray about today seriously, and any other prayer(s) as led.

TOPIC: HARPER,S LAST CONCERT! CAUSE HEAVEN TO THROW A PARTY!-1

Basic Scriptures: John 15: 1-10 ; Proverbs 11: 30

The most famous sheep of all time is possibly the Titanic, the supposedly usinkable ship that went down on it maiden (1st) journey. Many movies have been made and many books Written about that fateful journey. Few will include the story Scottish Evangelist, John Harper. Harper was a passenger in the Titanic. In 1912, Harper was traveling to Chicago to take up his appointment as pastor in Moody’s church.
He had his daughter Nana on board with him. His wife had died a few years earlier. When the Titanic struck the iceberg and began to sink, he put Nana into a life boat and then ran throughout the ship yelling “women, children and unsaved into the lifeboats!” When the ship finally went down, he had already given his life jacket to another passenger. Survivors report that to the very end, Harper was witnessing to everyone who would listen.
One survivor recalls clinging to one of the ship’s pars when Harper floated near him. “Man, are u saved?” cried Harper. No I’m not” replied the man “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” pleaded Harper. The waves carried Harper away and bought him back a little later. “Are you saved now? asked Harper. ” No, I cannot honestly say that I am” said the man.
Again Harper pleaded with him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved Shortly afterwards, Harper went down. The man who survived was one of only 6 people rescued, but in a public meeting four years later, recounting this episode, he said “There, alone in the night and with two Miles of water under me, I believed. I’m John Harper’s last convert” – (Source: Reported by Elesha Coffman, Christianity today, August 7, 2000).

Even when Harper was going down in such a life-threatening situation, he could not do but preach the gospel. Today, I am sure he will be happy to know in heaven that he got a convert at the last minute of his death. Oh, learn from Harper’s example! Soul winning is the heartbeat of God. Its the only thing that causes THE LORD to always throw a party in Heaven ( Luke 15: 7 ).
Wow! You can cause a party to happen in Heaven daily because there is JOY/CELEBRATION over one sinner who repents. Let God use you as you go out today/daily ! (This ODM is an evangelism tool! Give out some copies of ODM to people this week ).
It takes a year to prepare for the January World Anointing Night; let God use you! People’s testimonies from that night, shall provoke your own.

PRAYER POINTS: Take song 2: It is well with my soul…

1.Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led.
2. Father, forgive my laziness in soul winning, I ask for mercy.
3. LAZINESS IS OVER! Holy Spirit, fire me up with your unquenchable passion for soul winning in Jesus name.
4. Pray for every lost soul in the world today (mention names). Loose their salvation! Pray about today as led now. Cancel the loss of a car.

TOPIC: VIGIL DAY: UNSTOPPABLE!

Basic Scripture: Isaiah 60: 1-9

Do you know that you don’t need a touch light to be able to see the sun? In the same way, when the glory of God upon you begin to shine, people will not need some external help or support before they recognize that this is more than you. I love what Elisabeth Kubler Ross said, “People are like stained – glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only If there is a light from within. Don’t let the darkness get you scared! Don’t let the battles get you anxious! Be strong! The light in you will SHINE BY FORCE! The world is waiting to see the glory of God upon you and they shall see it just as they saw the GLORY OF ABEDEDOM! Ah!

Don’t forget that in 2 Samuel 6, it was the great DARKNESS due to the death of UZZAH that promoted OBEDEDOM! The darkness (ANGUISH and sorrow) was so strong that even DAVID THE GREAT WARRIOR was scared! Hear D.L. Moody, “We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we don’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining – they just shine.”
It is either you are shining or you are contributing to the darkness of this world. I prophecy: “Something that will cause the world to celebrate your God will come from your address between now and the next WORLD ANOINTING NIGHT of January 2020 in Jesus name!
Just as Obededom’s story was announced by his neighbours, so shall be your story!
Men shall see your GLORY and discuss it! Even your haters shall see GOODNESS/MERCY in and around your house and they shall carry it as a rumour in your city!
Declare this now: ” Oh, I worship you Lord for what you will do! I shall not struggle to shine! Your glory in my life, family and ministry shall shine by force because the thickest darkness shall bow to Your great seed of light in my star in Jesus name. Amen and amen.”

Note this: You were destined to shine, and nothing and no one can stop you from shining! Shame shall never be your “final bus-stop!” Every demonic hold that has been assigned to cover up your glory shall explore and be destroyed by fire today and tonight! Ah! I see men coming to the brightness of your rising, in Jesus mighty name!

PRAYER POINTS : Take your best song of worship now.

1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led.
2. I decree: Tonight/today: every evil hand that has a plan to stop my SHINNING, SCATTER NOW, in Jesus name.
3. Tonight/today: I was destined to shine! I will not rot away by obscurity! I was destined to be a carrier of God’s glory! I will not be a demonstrator of shame/failure in Jesus name.
4. Every demonic arrow against my destiny to shine in life, SCATTER BY FIRE NOW (Pray it NOW and TONIGHT).
5. My light cannot be stopped! (Pray in Tongues tonight!) Pray about today!
