festacman:Yes, by God's grace, I won the local government award and state government award, making me qualified for the presidential award. Will share a post on that some other time |
Talent To Prosperity Network Eventually, a few weeks before passing out as a corp member, I founded Talent To Prosperity Network. This is a social enterprise that engages in various Community Development activities across societies, trying to help as much as possible. However, we give priority to empowering individuals to utilize their natural abilities to live a prosperous life. The emphasis is a fusion of talent utilisation and new technologies for prosperity. A few weeks after I passed out as a Corper, TPN organised the Talent To Prosperity Conference in Lokoja, where over a hundred youths (mostly serving Corp Members) were equipped with knowledge like: - Leveraging AI For Wealth Creation - Leveraging Established Institutions For Talent Utilisation: - Creativity, Character and Excellence Emphasis was placed on Discovering, Developing, And Deploying Your Natural Talents In Today's Competitive World.

The 4-Month Digital Skills Empowerment Scheme Project I observed certain issues many of the secondary school students in that area were facing, including: 1. Limited enlightenment on 21st century digital skills to connect with the global digital economy 2. Inadequate preparation for post-secondary education 3. Lack of exposure to mentors for direction and assistance Hence, this Community Development project was designed to address these challenges by exposing the young ones to the necessary skills and information needed for the 21st century. For many weeks, I kept showing up to ensure they learn digital skills like: 1. Cyber security 2. Networking 3. Artificial intelligence 4. Talent Utilisation Incorporating Technology

A Community Development Project: Make Water Run Again! I identified areas still battling with dilapidated boreholes and water supplies. I decided to rise up to the task and solicit for resources to assist residents of Cemetery Junction Community to renovate their dilapidated borehole, so they won't struggle again getting good water. On Thursday, 24th April 2025, I commissioned the project of renovation of a dilapidated borehole, and it was all joy.

Community Development Projects At Old Market, Lokoja Also, in May 2025, I engaged in a sensitization of the traders at Old Market Lokoja, which also featured the donation of a brand new metal recycling bin for plastic and can. It was primarily focused on stiring up the traders to be more conscious of environmental cleanliness, as well as how their actions and inactions affect climate change. I identified the importance of ensuring that the local people are adequately sensitized on the impact of their actions and inactions on climate change. According to UNESCO, "Climate change education helps people understand and address the impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change." The leader of the Traditional Council expressed his delight in the initiative and thanked me for efforts in ensuring the well-being of the market.

Upon graduating from the University of Ibadan in 2023, I was engrossed with so many activities, all productive. Eventually, I got the green light to serve Nigeria via the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) system, and I embarked on the rigorous process to become a corp member. I was posted to Kogi State, in North-Central Nigeria, and whilst I've lived in Western Nigeria all my life, I embraced the journey with all positivity. One of the immediate pleasant things that happened was how NYSC became a platform that aided me in discovering my talent and passion for Community Development activities. I believe certain potential in us as humans requires certain platforms/environments for discovery. And while I was already deploying various other talents and skills prior to becoming a corp member, it was when I became a "Corper" that I discovered my natural talent in Community Development Services and Projects. I started off immediately, knowing fully well that time waits for no one (knowing fully well that I will wake up one day only to see the one year service is over in a jiffy). I was bent on maximizing my Corp Member status because it easily opened doors for the required partnerships. Although the projects took from me a lot of efforts and resources, all things eventually worked together for my good. I started off by organising an Inter-secondary School Debate Competition And Inauguration Of 4-Month Digital Skills Empowerment scheme for the young ones in Lokoja, Kogi State. The event primarily focused on stiring up the secondary school students to utilize their smartphone device to invest this season of their lives acquiring innovative skills and abilities that can plug them into global opportunities and prosperity without being at the mercies of the limitations of their immediate societies. The inter-secondary school debate competition was a starter to the conversation. After intelligent rounds of debates, representatives of Bishop Delisle College emerged winners and were given appropriate prizes for a job well done. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sunday-akanni-moshood-8138b033b_how-im-transforming-society-through-community-activity-7374188640157163520-NBum?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=android_app&rcm=ACoAAFViT48BYmS0hSdbIMnZk6ZZW6Tz-LwwmBc&utm_campaign=copy_link

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(18th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (10) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Gideon caught the seed of faith, his encounter with the Lord helped boost it, and he faithfully played his role by acting upon it. Faith imbibed in him a sense of urgency, for as soon as "the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him." (Judges 6:34 NKJV). Dear reader, faith should shape you into having a sense of urgency to do God's work and fulfil your destiny before the wrapping of this age. There's no more a lot of time. Each moment counts! Each second and minute and hour count! No more endless relaxation! Develop a sense of urgency! You know, we must go back to being constantly reminded of the truth of the rapture, the fact that the long anticipated rapture can happen any moment from now. This should always abide in our consciousness. We should always live with this reality, and it will keep spurring us up to have a sense of urgency to do God's work. Do more evangelism! Intercession must be constant! Get busy with kingdom business! Maranatha! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:35 NKJV [35] And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(17th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (9) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Following his superb encounter and commissioning, the Bible says, "But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him." (Judges 6:34 NKJV). Immediately he was equipped with the Resource from heaven, he acted by blowing the trumpet. It was a trumpet of hope and summons. He acted in faith without wasting anymore time. Time waits for no one, so why waste time after receiving heaven's backing? Many folks today, even after receiving the blessing of the Spirit, are still procrastinating and not doing anything meaningful towards the fulfilment of their assignments. Arise! Do something! Stop procrastinating! Like Gideon, you must decide to act, by faith, on what the Spirit already deposited in you for the actualization of your life assignments. Like Gideon, take a quick step to blow the trumpet. Start from somewhere. Gideon didn't get started off by storming the enemy's territory for battle. Rather, he started with blowing the trumpet, which was a step towards the goal. Dear reader, don't wait until all is fully furnished before making the first move towards the fulfilment of your God-given vision and assignments. Once the Spirit has given you the greenlight, start from somewhere! Blow the trumpet! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:35 NKJV [35] And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(16th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon ( ![]() Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Gideon was an imperfect man with faith. In Judges 6:17 "he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me." In spite of all, he still needed to put up the sign of the fleece: "So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said— [37] look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.” [38] And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. [39] Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew.” [40] And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground." Judges 6:36-40 NKJV As a new testament believer, you know better, by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Unlike Gideon, we don't put God's word to test via a fleece! We are led by God's Spirit through faith, and not by a fleece. As far as direction in destiny is concerned, we first look inward. Hence, whenever the Spirit of Faith is leading you towards the path of an assignment that seems very much bigger than you are, believe and latch upon the tides of faith! If you are not sure of anything, simply talk to God, and He knows what to do to help strengthen your faith. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:34 NKJV [34] But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. |
Kavara:Alright then e. What do you want to discuss, please |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(15th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (7) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* From the case of Gideon, we could see that God always gives assignments that look much greater and bigger than you. This is so because God is not seeing things the way we see (His ways are higher than ours) and He sure isn't seeing you the way you casually see yourself (He sees someone very special and wonderful when He looks at you). Nevertheless, at times, when you don't have the full picture of what God would have you do, like Gideon, it's okay to ask questions, not from a place of doubt, but from a sincere heart that needs clarifications. God being so good and understanding would grant you more light to that which He has in mind. To go a step further, "And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” Judges 6:16 NKJV The Lord will reassure you of His presence. When the Lord is with you, it is the greatest leverage you need to become very great in life and become all He has destined you to be. God with you means you have heaven's backing to fulfil your assignments, and resources will be pulled towards your direction without compromising. Dear reader, as you go this new week, retain the consciousness that God is with you and do great exploits in His Name and for His glory. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:34 NKJV [34] But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. |

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(14th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (6) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Gideon grew to become a giant of faith quite alright, but he didn't start there. Even after the Lord gave him the word, he wasn't still sure, for he said: “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” (Judges 6:15 NKJV). You see, it doesn't matter the terrible state of the tribe or lineage you emanated from in the flesh. Faith in Christ sets you apart, and you become one who proceeds from God Himself. Faith empowers you to live above the limitations of your background in the flesh. Your race or ancestry may be so weak, disadvantaged, and deemed insignificant in the global scheme of things. However, when the Lord breathes His word upon you and you act upon it by faith, you will definitely rise in faith as a mighty warrior backed by God. Remember, you are a new creature, now of the tribe of the Christ, the Lion of Judah. You have access to the manifold wealth and possibilities of the new creation realities. Rise! In Jesus Name! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:34 NKJV [34] But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(13th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (5) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* The Lord was speaking to Gideon in Judges 6:14 just as He is speaking to you too today: “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” The Midianites are God's enemies. In today’s context, the Midianites represent individuals and systems and cultures that have risen to frustrate the agenda of God and the manifestation of His perfect Will. And God has chosen you, dear reader, as His warrior to defeat these Midianites. So, you are a sent one. Incredibly, God anoints those He sent to accomplish His purposes. Hence, you are an anointed one! You have been anointed to rise as a deliverer! Deliver individuals and systems under the siege of the enemy! God had to help Gideon to recognise the measure of "might" embedded inside of him. Dear reader, you have a measure of might in you that is sufficient to turn the world around in God's Will! Don't look down on yourself! Your might can be concentrated in your natural talents, your intellect, your mastered skills, your outstanding personality, etc. Most importantly, if you are a Christian, you have the Holy Ghost in you! You are a mighty person who carries the Mighty One! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:34 NKJV [34] But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(12th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (4) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* We have seen how the man Gideon shows us that frustration is often the seed of a calling. If you are so particularly frustrated over something specific around you, let's say the high rate of sexual immorality, or poverty, or drug abuse, or prostitution, or political corruption, etc, it could be that there's a seed in you to effect a change over that problem. Like Gideon, you may seem so small and insignificant in your own eyes, but God sees you beyond your current state. He knows the power and preciousness of the seed He had embedded in you, knowing how hefty your potential is if worked upon. While others grow numb to hardship, the one who keeps questioning, “Why can’t things be different?” is often the one God calls to make a difference. Therefore, don't settle for anything less than God's perfect Will, even if the status quo has been so for many years before you were born. Remember, God doesn’t wait until you feel mighty. Rather, He meets you in hiding, speaks destiny over you, and sends you in the very strength you already have but don’t recognize. Where are you right now? Look around, the Lord is encountering you! Open your eyes to see fresh insight and wisdom! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:14 NKJV [14] Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you? |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(11th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (3) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* In South Africa, a woman endured years of domestic abuse. Her neighbors and family told her, “That’s just how life is, endure it.” But she kept secretly journaling, praying, and visualizing a safe life. Finally, she found the courage to report to the appropriate authorities and began a nonprofit to support other survivors. Today, she has helped hundreds of women escape cycles of violence. Like Gideon, she questioned: “Why is this happening if God is with me?” Yet God was preparing her to be a deliverer for others. In the Middle East, a small group of believers lived under heavy persecution. Most stayed quiet, blending into society to avoid danger. But one young man studied scripture daily and prayed secretly for boldness. Eventually, he started sharing his testimony one-on-one. Within years, a house church network emerged, touching hundreds of lives despite the risks. Just like Gideon hiding in the winepress, he began in secret, but God raised him to challenge a system of fear. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:14 NKJV [14] Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you? |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(10th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon (2) Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Gideon was hiding, working in fear, adapting to a defeated lifestyle like everyone else around him. Yet in his heart, he was restless, thinking about freedom, wondering why God’s promises weren’t showing up, and dreaming of something beyond survival. God came to him in that hidden, discouraged place and called out what no one else could see: “You are a mighty man of valor. You will be the one to change the story." Many young people finish school with hope, only to face years of unemployment. Some resign to “hustling anyhow.” But a young graduate in Nigeria, despite repeated rejection letters, kept learning digital skills online every night. Friends mocked him for “dreaming too big.” One day, a mentor spotted his work on LinkedIn, connected him to a global freelance opportunity, and within a year, he was not only employed but teaching others how to break into online careers. Like Gideon, while others accepted the status quo, he prepared quietly. Then God used him as a channel of breakthrough. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:14 NKJV [14] Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you? |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(9th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: The Faith Of Gideon Hebrews 11:32 NKJV [32] And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: *Message* Here's how the Bible introduced us to the man Gideon: "Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. [12] And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” [13] Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.” [14] Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” Judges 6:11-14 NKJV Amid the nation's turmoil and hopelessness, Gideon has caught a measure of faith, which he has been silently nurturing via exploring the accounts of the past deeds of God with the ancestors. While yet untrained in the matters of faith, there was something growing in him set to do exploits on God's side. Take note, immediately the Angel saluted him, the first thing he said was ", “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.” Those words are an expression of discontentment! And that should be one of the things that drew the attention of the Angel to Gideon in the first place for that assignment, ignoring other strong warriors in town. While others have gotten so used to the hard times and situation and settled for the status quo, Gideon was meditating every day on breaking free via exploits. Faith doesn’t settle for less. Faith craves for exploits in God! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Judges 6:14 NKJV [14] Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you? |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(8th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot (6) Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* The TPT of our focus scripture says , "Faith provided a way of escape for Rahab the prostitute, avoiding the destruction of the unbelievers, because she received the Hebrew spies in peace." The destruction of unbelievers is closer than many think, and it's necessary to place emphasis on this truth. First, so that an unbeliever will take quick steps to turn to the Lord and avoid their sinful ways. Secondly, to encourage believers to do all other takes to partner with the Lord to bring unbelievers unto repentance. "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, [39] and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:38-39 NKJV). Although an unbeliever can walk into destruction with his or her lifestyle at this time and world, it will be more brutal after the close of the door of grace, upon the rapture of the Saints and coming of the Son of Man. Hence, Jesus warned: "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. [44] Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:42-44 NKJV As faith provided a route of escape for Rahab, faith in Christ Jesus will provide a route of salvation for the greatest sinner. Jesus is the Way out! Walk on the narrow Way that leads to life! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(7th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot (5) Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* In many African and Western countries, testimonies abound of women once trapped in sex work who found Christ. One such woman in Lagos, Nigeria, was rescued by a faith-based NGO. Today, she is an outspoken advocate for girls at risk of trafficking. Like Rahab, she was once defined by her past, but her faith aligned her with God’s mission, giving her dignity and influence. A businessman once caught in financial fraud could have perished with others in the corruption scandal. Instead, he confessed, accepted responsibility, and rebuilt his career by championing corporate transparency. Like Rahab, he separated himself from those “who did not believe” in truth and justice, and by faith, his life was spared and repurposed Dear reader, your past mistakes or labels don’t define your future. Faith is about choosing God’s way, even when it’s risky or unpopular. Aligning with God and His people gives you a legacy beyond survival. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(6th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot (4) Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* If a woman with a broken reputation (a prostitute) in a corrupt city could believe God’s promises, acted in faith, and aligned herself with God’s people (and was spared destruction, became part of Israel’s story, and even entered Jesus’ genealogy), then I want to tell you that your past does not disqualify you. Rather, faith and courage can give you a future. Let's consider a popular man who was addicted to drugs for over a decade, but decided to join a Christian recovery program. Society had written him off, much like Rahab was judged by her label. By faith, he surrendered to Christ, and now he runs a rehab center helping others find freedom. Like Rahab, he chose a different path when destruction was imminent, and his faith gave him a new identity. In Los Angeles, a former gang member known for violence encountered Jesus through prison ministry. He chose to protect and mentor young people instead of destroying them. Today, he pastors a thriving church, leading many out of the cycle he once lived in. Rahab hid the spies at great risk. This man today shows similar courage, turning from destruction to become a channel of peace. Faith in Christ rewrites your story! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(5th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot (3) Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* Rahab the harlot received the spies with peace, and because of that, she didn't perish with other unbelievers in her nation. In the same vein, any sinner who received God's gospel and believed by faith, is saved from perishing with other unbelievers around. It is true that unbelievers are heading towards destruction and bound to perish by their own decision and freewill, except they repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, embracing God's way of righteousness. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." So, the unbelieving sinner is heading to destruction, but what saves them from not perishing for all eternity is to be infused with eternal life (the God-kind of life) through faith in Christ. Dear reader, have compassion for those unbelievers around you because they are going to perish if they fail to repent. Your compassion should drive you to intercede for them so that faith is ignite in their heart; then preach God's word to them so they can believe and be saved. Amen. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(4th September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot (2) Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* So we have been talking about how a dirty Rahab (a prostitute) was grafted into the league of God's greats via the excellency of faith. It is a vivid proof that today, it doesn't matter the extent to the terrible and sinful things you've done, faith in Christ Jesus is so powerful to grant you a fresh life that's consistent with God's perfect Will for you. We want you to see the role you've got to play in profiting from the availability of faith. Faith, though powerful, won't have been able to help Rahab if she didn't intentionally take certain steps to interact with faith. [8] Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, [9] and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. [10] For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. [11] And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. [12] Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token, [13] and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.” Joshua 2:8-13 NKJV From verse 10 of the above scripture, the woman started talking about how they have heard of the gospel of God's exploits through the Israelites. She wasn't the only one who heard that gospel - but she was the only one who chose to embrace the God of Israel and express faith in His ability for deliverance. Dear reader, you have heard the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. You must deliberately act upon what you've heard, with faith, and internationally choose to draw closer to the Lord. Anywhere you are right now, talk to the Lord and allow Him full access into your life. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(3rd September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: By Faith The Harlot Hebrews 11:31 NKJV [31] By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. *Message* First, it doesn't matter how dirty an individual is, faith is powerful enough to translate them genuinely from their habitation of dirt into pure acceptable holiness through Christ Jesus. Rahab used to be in the committee of disgusting lowlifers in the society, but upon being introduced to the faith-life associated with the God of Israel, she was brought into the league of the greats. From her loins came not only King David but the Lord Jesus Christ. "Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah." (Matthew 1:5, 6 NKJV). Dear reader, you may have done a lot of bad stuff, and you feel worthless and not useful to God. I'm assuring that if you place your faith in Christ Jesus today, He will transform your life as He did for Rahab the harlot. Come to Jesus now! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 2:4 NKJV [4] Then the woman took the two men and hid them.

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(2nd September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: Pulling Down Jericho's Walls (7) Hebrews 11:30 TPT Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days! *Message* A young man addicted to pornography and drugs felt powerless. Rehab had failed multiple times, and he was close to giving up. However, he joined a prayer group, stayed accountable, prayed daily, and believed God could restore him. Even when cravings hit, he didn’t stop his “march” of faith practices. After months of consistency, he experienced freedom, later mentoring others with the same struggles. Hallelujah! Dear reader, before the walls of Jericho eventually fell, the children of Israel persevere for some days, quietly. You must learn perseverance and longsuffering, even as you keep taking your daily steps of faith. Finally, today, Jericho’s walls are not always stones. They can be financial struggles, relationship breakdowns, addictions, injustice, repeated rejection, etc. Just like Israel, we may not see results on day 1, day 3, or even day 6. But faith that keeps walking eventually sees walls fall. Amen. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 6:20 NKJV [20] So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. |
Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(1st September, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: Pulling Down Jericho's Walls (6) Hebrews 11:30 TPT Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days! *Message* We should keep emphasising the fact that faith + obedience + persistence can break down impossible barriers. Now, this is not simply about spiritual warfare and pulling down invisible walls from the realm of the spirit alone, but is relatable to different human endeavour. Airbnb founders were rejected by investors over 20 times, told their idea of strangers living in people’s homes would never work. They were broke and even sold cereal boxes just to survive. They kept “marching” — refining their model, sticking to their vision, believing there was a future in it. Today, Airbnb is worth billions and reshaped global travel. Like Jericho’s walls, the wall of rejection crumbled because they persisted in faith. You may be a young person with great potential in business, ministry, in the educational sector, etc, knocking different doors that are adamantly closed and just won't open. Remember, faith + obedience + persistence can break down impossible barriers. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 6:20 NKJV [20] So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets.

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(30th August, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: Pulling Down Jericho's Walls (4) Hebrews 11:30 TPT Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days! *Message* By acting upon God's word in faith, the walls of Jericho eventually fell down flat. This is an obvious but shocking miracle to everyone around at that time. It is a big deal for the walls to have fallen in the first place. But it is even much more spectacular that it fell down flat! When the Bible describes the walls of Jericho as falling "flat," it means they collapsed horizontally, rather than toppling over or crumbling in a pile. The phrase "fell flat" does not only denote the fact that the walls collapsed entirely, leaving no remaining structure, but that the walls fell in a horizontal direction. Apparently, an unseen hands had intelligently done this. This incident was a glorious wonder to the people of Israel and a terrifying event to the people of Jericho. The Lord is doing something specular in your life today, in the Name of Jesus! It will be a glorious wonder to you! It will terrify your enemies! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 6:20 NKJV [20] So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets.

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(29th August, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: Pulling Down Jericho's Walls (3) Hebrews 11:30 TPT Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days! *Message* After days of strategic silence, the people eventually shouted! It was a glorious shout of praise and victory from the people of God! Shouting in worship is so powerful! It's like throwing a big bomb in the camp of the enemy! When faced with spiritual warfare, don't be moody nor discouraged. Rather, shout for joy unto God's praise! Shout out loud! Get the enemy scared and worried and surprised! "Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! [2] Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious." (Psalms 66:1-2 NKJV). "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. [2] Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. [3] For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods." (Psalms 95:1-3 NKJV) Finally, Psalms 33:1 has this to say: "Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him." See that? The upright (you in Christ Jesus) is expected to keep praising via shouts and songs of joy! Do so now! Shout for joy! Shout for praise! *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 6:20 NKJV [20] So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets.

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(28th August, 2025)* by *Sunday Akanni* TOPIC: Pulling Down Jericho's Walls (2) Hebrews 11:30 TPT Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days! *Message* Joshua chapter 6 gave us a vivid picture of what really happened. In verse 20, we see: "So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city." First, this was the very first time the voice of the children of Israel was heard over the seven days of circling Jericho. Following God's instructions dedicatedly, they were sounding the ram’s horn trumpets every day, but they remained silent till the right time. Dear reader, in the face of warfare, there are times when silence is very golden, as it is part of the divine strategy and intelligence that fetches victory. You don't go about talking all the time. Learn to be silent! Silence helps you to not expose your plans to the wrong hands. Silence helps you to not panick and then take the wrong steps. Silence helps in staying connected to the heartbeat of heaven and identifying the spiritual junction where the host of God will interfere with your efforts for victory. It doesn't matter how strong the walls seem to be. When you utilise divine intelligence, they will always fall. Faith gets us plugged into this intelligence. Faith always works. *Prayers/Confessions* By faith, I see into the future and take sacrificial steps to be a blessing to the next generation. *Further Reading* Joshua 6:20 NKJV [20] So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat.
