Joagbaje: I don't really get your point. The word "wish " stands for prayer in this context. Just like I say "I WISH YOU SAFE JOURNEY" that's a prayer for safe trip.Might I add 2corinth 9 v 11 (NIV) 11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion , and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. Prosperity is of God, why can devil's children(ritualists, killers, robbers etc) be rich and God's can't? Is it that God don't want goodies for his kids? Look what God said here in Zacharia 1 v 14-16 (KJV), 14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease : for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. 16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. He wants us to prosper in every good work, spirit, soul and body. "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." Psalm 35:27 God Gets Great Pleasure In Prospering His People. If you don’t want prosperity, God won’t force it on you. He won’t give you anything that you don’t want to receive. Yes God loves to prosper you but if you draw back in fear and give up on faith, God has no pleasure in you. Faith is the key to receiving and pleasing God. You must have faith in order to please God( Hebrews 11:6). |
Your Name And Your Destiny · Friday, August 2nd · Pastor Chris Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee (Genesis 17:5). Whatever name you answer, as a person, has a direct bearing on your destiny; your name gives meaning to your destiny. This explains why it was necessary for God to change the names of certain characters in the Bible in line with their destinies in God. A good example is Abraham, who was formerly called Abram. Abram meant exalted father or assumed father; one who was regarded as a father, even though he didn’t have children. However, one day, God spoke to him and said, "…behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee" (Genesis 17:4-5). He believed God, and immediately started answering the name "Abraham," meaning ‘a father of many nations.’ Another example is Jacob; he was named Jacob at birth because when he was born, he held on to his brother’s heel. Jacob means swindler or deceiver; and true to his name, he obtained his brother’s birthright through deceit, with the aid of his mother. However, when he encountered the Angel of God’s presence and asked to be blessed, the Angel wouldn’t bless him until his name was changed from Jacob (the swindler) to Israel, a prince with God (Genesis 32:28); thus was his destiny transformed for good. Before Peter came to Jesus, he answered the name Simon, meaning a reed shaken by the wind, unstable. As Simon, he wasn’t consistent. One day Jesus said to him, "And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, (Greek: Petros) and upon this rock (Greek: Petra) I will build my church…" (Matthew 16:18). "Petros" means a little rock that’s founded on a greater hidden rock (Petra), not just a stone; signifying stability and consistency. If the name you’ve been answering isn’t consistent with the Word of God, you’ve got to change it, because your name is your destiny. It makes no difference that you’ve answered the name all your life; if you find that its meaning isn’t consistent with the revelation of who you are as a new creation in Christ, you must respond to God’s Word and change it as an act of faith. When you do, your new name will be recorded in heaven, and the destiny of the former one will be cancelled. Prayer Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word that enlightens me on who I am in Christ. Thank you for leading and guiding me in the way that I should go, taking paths that you’ve preordained for me, and elevating me unto higher levels of your glory, in Jesus’ Name.

Get To Know Your "Features" · Thursday, August 1st Pastor Chris But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23). The attraction of a device is in its features. For example, in choosing a new phone handset, you want to know what its features are. You want to know all that device is capable of. In your journey of life in Christ, some of the things to be acquainted with are your "features"; what do you have in you? What are the features of this new life you’ve received in your spirit? You’re God’s handiwork, His excellently crafted masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), and there’re specific features that are peculiar to you, such as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. These are the "features" of your recreated human spirit. The fact that they’re described as "fruits" in our opening verse lets you know they’re things you can develop, and grow in your life! You can multiply their power and usefulness. Many people never care about the features of their devices; they only use the most basic ones, and therefore don’t enjoy the device to its full potential. For example, the love of God is in you; put it to work at all times. Love is victorious over all circumstances; therefore, walk in love, and you’ll always win, because love-power is the greatest power there is. There’re more features in you; study the Word to know them and put them to work. 1 John 4:4 for example says, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." This means you’re victorious over the world, and you’ve overcome the wicked one and the evil spirits of darkness; including all the negativities of life, because the Greater One lives in you. As you study the Word, you’ll discover the magnificent qualities of your recreated human spirit. We can live an extraordinary life through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and excellence. Confession I know who I am. I’m a Christ-in-you person! I’m conscious of the inherent features of the God-life in my spirit! I’ve been fashioned for glory, beauty and excellence; I bring forth good things today, because my heart is a treasury of blessings. f u r t h e r s t u d y: Matthew 12:35; 1 John 5:4 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 6:1-14, Psalms 56-59 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 12:22-34, Judges 7 |

No Culture Against Love · Wednesday, July 31st · Pastor Chris Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10). All people are the same when it comes to love; they feel and react to love the same way. Love changes them. It brings everybody to the same plane, irrespective of the culture. There’s no culture against love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is love." If you walk in love towards people, they’ll be compelled sooner or later to respond the same way, because love begets love. When you understand the love of God, you’d realize that it’s the greatest power in the universe. It goes beyond cultural divides, religious barriers, ethnic differences, and social stratifications. The love of God can reach anyone, and melt the hardest heart. Train yourself to walk in love. It’s a conscious choice you have to make; it’ll transform your life. Tell yourself, "I’m going to walk in love, no matter what." In John 13:34, Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." There shouldn’t be anybody you can’t love. The love-way is the way of victory; therefore, you must love everyone genuinely, even when their actions aren’t deserving of love. The Bible tells us that God demonstrated His love for us, while we were undeserving of kindness: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5: .Therefore, as His beloved children, we’re to love like Him: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour" (Ephesians 5:1-2). To walk with God you’d have to love like Him. 1 John 4:7-8 says, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." Let your language be consistent with the God-kind of love; let your life be the out-shining of His love. Confession My life is the expression of the love of the Father in my heart in Christ Jesus. I abound in love today, towards those in my world, and beyond, and declare that my heart is established blameless and in holiness before the Lord, for His love is perfected in me, in Jesus’ Name. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 John 4:7-8; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Psalms 52-55 Romans 5:12-21 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 12:13-21 Judges 6 |
His Goodness And Love · Tuesday, July 30th Pastor Anita …Pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:44-45). Someone once said "It appears God, in His fierce anger against those who are not saved, brings painful experiences such as poverty and sickness on them as judgement." But that’s a wrong perception of God. God is gracious and kind, both to the righteous and the unrighteous. His nature is goodness and love. He never buffets people with pain and suffering; rather, He always seeks to heal, save, and bless. He’s the healer, restorer, and mender of broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. Several accounts in the Bible readily buttress this. The story of blind Bartimaeus is a case in point. The Bible says he was born blind; and not satisfied with his condition, he cried out to Jesus for help, and the Lord restored his sight (Mark 10:51-52). We find a similar example when Jesus and His disciples encountered another man who was born blind. His disciples asked Him, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" (John 9:2). The Lord responded, "...Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God may be made manifest in him, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day…" (John 9:3-4). The devil’s work was manifested in the man’s life through the blindness, but Jesus manifested God’s goodness and love by healing him. Perhaps you’ve been experiencing challenges on your job, business, family, academics, or even in your health; you can take advantage of God’s love even now. The first thing you should know is that affliction, of any kind, isn’t the will of God for you. He already did everything necessary for you to live in victory, divine health, prosperity, righteousness and dominion. Just say yes to His Word; acknowledge and walk in the light of what He’s already done for you in Christ Jesus. Prayer Dear heavenly Father, I bow to you in worship for your love, compassion and grace, which are manifested today in my life and in the lives of many around the world, through your works of healing, blessings, and miracles in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 John 3:8; Acts 10:38 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Psalms 49-51 Romans 5:1-11 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 12:1-12 Judges 5 |
Proclaim Liberty! · Monday, July 29th · Pastor Chris The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound (Isaiah 61:1). After His death on the Cross, the Lord Jesus descended to hell, defeated Satan and the cohorts of hell and arose on the third day victoriously. He ascended into heaven. Now, the Bible says, "... When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men" (Ephesians 4: . Jesus broke the chains ofdarkness, and took from them the authority to put anyone in captivity. Satan can legally hold no one in captivity anymore. The bondage is over! That’s why He said, "...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15); that means to all of creation. Romans 8:19 says, "For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." The whole of creation awaits the manifestation, not of Jesus, but of the sons of God—that’s us, to release them from the bondage of corruption. How do we release them? By proclaiming liberty; by announcing to them that they’re free and that captivity has been taken captive. This announcement is what the whole creation has been waiting for. Romans 8:22 says, "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." But it’s time for them to know that solution has come in Christ Jesus. You’re the answer to their cry for help. You’ve been sent as a light to the nations. Everywhere you go, the light of God shines, and people come out of the darkness. The Bible says, the savour of Christ’s knowledge: the beauty, glory and power of His righteousness is made manifest by us in every place. You’re His mouthpiece; His ambassador of the Gospel, to boldly proclaim liberty to the oppressed. And as you do, chains will be destroyed, and the hearts of the disobedient will be turned to the wisdom of the righteous. Prayer Dear Father, thank you for the life of victory and dominion I have in Christ Jesus; thank you for giving me the most esteemed responsibility of ministering the Gospel to the lost, turning their hearts from sin unto righteousness. You’ve made me a light to the nations, and I shine brightly in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: Jeremiah 34:8; Philippians 2:15-16 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 4, Psalms 45-48 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 11:45-54 Judges 4 |
A Life Of Success · Sunday, July 28th Pastor Chris But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). God desires that you consistently make progress and excel from glory to glory. He expects you to be increasingly fruitful and productive in all your endeavours. Jesus said in John 15:1-8 (NLT), "I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more...When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." If you’re already successful and productive, the Lord prunes you to be even more productive. You don’t have to wait until you’re old to know whether or not you’re a success. Success is measured at different stages of your life. Solomon was a young man when God made him a success. If you’re conscious of success at the level where you are today, that consciousness will take you to a higher level of success tomorrow. Realize that you’re in the world as an agent of change; those you work with or relate to should find you indispensable. Your boss and those you work with should be able to depend on you for excellent delivery. When projects are committed to you, see to it that they’re executed in perfection. Let those around you consider you central to their own success. Cultivate an uncompromising attitude of success; never make excuses for failure. Keep away from the mundane, and instil in yourself a culture of excellence and perfection. The success-mentality gets you excited everyday about life, and the opportunity to confront life’s challenges and win! Produce results; win everyday. Be happy and ready to solve problems, answer questions, and be a blessing to your world; that’s the life of success to which you’ve been called. Confession I’m a success; and my path is as the shining light, which shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. I’m making progress from glory to glory, bringing forth abundant fruits unto God in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 3 John 1:2; Psalm 1:1-3 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 3, Psalms 42-44 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 11:37-44 Judges 2-3 |
Stir Up Faith From Within · Saturday, July 27th · Pastor Anita But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost (Jude 1:20). If you’re in Christ, there’s nothing in the world to fear. Jesus already overcame the world and its system for you. When you face difficult situations in your life, don’t despair; for you’re not helpless. It’s a fight of faith, and you have spiritual weapons at your disposal to launch out in the offensive. One of such weapons is singing: singing songs of faith. Ephesians 5:18-19 says, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." When you face challenges, shut your door and keep singing, until faith is stirred in your spirit. Sing with the spirit, and sing with the understanding also (1 Corinthians 14:15). Then, just like the prophet Ezekiel, the Spirit will stir you up, and set you upon your feet (Ezekiel 2:2); you’d know at that moment that the Lord is standing tall in you. He’ll stir up words in you like: "No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper." You’ll hear Him tell you, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that’s in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Then you take it up from there and say, "Yes, Lord! I have overcome them, in the Name of Jesus Christ!" Right after that, pray in tongues fervently. You can stir up faith from within you today, and the business that was dead will be revived. The finances that were down will suddenly receive a supernatural boost! The marriage that was crumbling will be restored! All these can happen within a flash by the power of the Holy Spirit, if you’d act on the Word today. Confession I refuse to fear, because I’m born of God and I have overcome the world. Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. My faith is alive, and as I put it to work today, it prevails, in the Name of Jesus. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 Timothy 6:12 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 2, Psalms 38-41 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 11:27-36 Judges 1 |
You Have Overcome The World · Friday, July 26th · Pastor Chris And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear…(Luke 21:25-26). The events we see in the world today are indications that these are difficult times. Many are disturbed, distraught, and perplexed about their health, finances, jobs, and businesses. Though the Scriptures declare that perilous times will come upon the earth, the believer is enjoined not to fear: "… In the world you shall have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]" (John 16:33 AMP). You’re not of this world! God has separated you from the world, and given you a life that’s beyond this world; a life of faith and victory through the Word. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. You’re more than a conqueror. Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. God has given you a light—His Word —with which to walk through the darkness. You’ll live victoriously and triumphantly above sickness, disease, inflation and terror as you walk in God’s Word. His power is available in His Word; and you can put that power to work to produce results. It therefore doesn’t matter the extent of the darkness or hardship in the world today; they are opportunities for you to shine and manifest the glory of God. Isaiah 60:2 says, "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." Job 22:29 says, "When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up…." There’s lifting up for you in Christ; so cheer up, for Christ in you is your hope of glory. Hold your head up high and declare, "Christ in me, is my victory over the world." Confession My faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Christ in me is my hope of a triumphant and glorious today, and an excellent future; my life is secure in Him who causes all things to work together for my good! f u r t h e r s t u d y: Mark 5:36; Mark 11:23 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : Romans 1:18-32, Psalms 35-37 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 11:14-26 Joshua 24 |
The Power That Works In You · Thursday, July 25th Pastor Chris Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen (Ephesians 3:20-21). What an inspiring thought revealed to us in our theme verse! It says "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us…." It didn’t say "…according to the power that worketh in heaven." This explains that you have a role in the operations of the miraculous in your life. The glory of God is manifested in your life according to the power that works in you. Even though God, in His sovereignty, can cause certain things to happen for you, He doesn’t want to work outside of you. Some Christians often feel discouraged and frustrated because they’re "praying to God to do something for them," yet to no avail. The issue isn’t with God; they’re the ones to activate the power of God in them, to bring about the desired changes. In Paul’s epistle to the Philippians, we read of his personal testimony to this effect; he understood that the ability to do the supernatural wasn’t rested in heaven but within him. By the Spirit he said, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Notice that he didn’t say "We can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us"; rather, this was his personal testimony. What a mentality! Paul couldn’t think failure, defeat or impossibilities; he knew the ability of the Spirit had been granted him to achieve supernatural results, and he spoke accordingly. Become conscious that God lives in you in His fullness, which means all His power and eternal might are domiciled in your spirit. How do you activate that power to work for you? It’s by consciously meditating on the Word, and speaking in tongues. You can bring that power to bear today on anything, or any area of your life . Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for your power that fills me through and through. I can do all things through Christ who energizes me from within! I’m prepped for your glory today, being conscious of the supernatural ability of the Spirit that’s at work in me mightily, in Jesus’ Name.

Born With Wealth Untold · Wednesday, July 24th · Pastor Anita Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). Riches, wealth, and honour come from God (1 Chronicles 29:12). He gave these to Abraham and his seed, and Galatians 3:16 lets us know that Christ is the Seed of Abraham: "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." Christ inherited all the blessings of Abraham, and if you belong to Christ, you’re Abraham’s seed, and all the promises that were made to Christ belong to you. "And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:29). Now, you shouldn’t ask God to make you rich. He doesn’t need to, because you were born the very heir of all the riches and wealth He could ever give, when you were born again. Not only were you born with wealth untold, He gave you the power to get wealth. What you need now is to know the Word of God to chart your course. You can prosper at any level of life and career. Irrespective of your job description, business, country or state, you can be prosperous through Christ. Don’t let the things people say about the economy shake you. The wealth of this world isn’t reducing. Money is man-made, and it doesn’t determine your wealth. Your wealth will determine how much money is available to you, because money gravitates to men and women of wealth. Isaiah 60:11 says, "Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought." Confession I’m an offspring of the Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, and I’m the seed of Abraham, heir of the world. My prosperity is unlimited, for I was born with wealth untold. I lay up gold as dust, and the riches of the nations gravitate to me.
