GET IT RIGHT IN PRAYER

Memorise: Call unto me and I will answer thee and show you great and mighty things which thou knoweth not. Jeremiah 33vs3

READ: Jeremiah 33vs1-3

One of the greatest challenges of man toward calling on God (prayer) is praying in a usual way/channel. It has been discovered that some people would pray and they would neither receive answer nor hear from God as though they have right motive, still they neither receive answers nor revelation as regard their prayers. This spiritual or psychological ailment had taken many into the snare of the devil due to impatience and ignorance of right methods of prayer.

HOW TO ENTICE GOD IN PRAYER? RECOGNIZING YOUR FOOLISHNESS AND WEAKNESS

In the earthly days of Jesus Christ, some people who recognise Him as the son of God would go to Him and He would meet their needs. There was a man in Luke 19vs1-27 called Zacchaeus, a tax collector. A tax collector is known to be very rich those years. Luke 19vs2 tells us that he was a chief among publicans and very rich. However, as rich and wealthy as Zacchaeus was, when he saw the King of kings (JESUS CHRIST) passing he had to turn foolish by climbing a tree in order to see Jesus Christ. Don't forget that as a tax master, he could control the crowd around him so as to see Jesus Christ, but he forgot his personality in order to gain what he wanted.

Do you want to turn stupid for God that you may obtain your request or you want to continue the same way you have been doing things with no result? In this manner on the other hand, many people talk to God showing their personality before God. Some rich/wealthy men would be guiding their expensive attire and shoes lest it gets stained while praying, forgeting that God can empty their riches/wealth in a minute. Always forget your personality when praying. Appear to God as a weak vessel so that He can release His strength to you. Appear also to Him as a fool so that you  can possess that divine wisdom. GODLY WORSHIP Many people are ignorant of the fact that worship is another way through we can enjoy the undeserved grace. Worship is the best way to provoke God's attention. I mean true worship! True worship emanates from a sincere admiration of the greatness of God. God honours a devoted worship more than prayers. In worship, you don't need to write out prayer points. Just spend quality time in true worship and see what will happen shortly after.

TRUE worship is a SINLESS and DEVOTED worship. I pray for you in the name that is above every other name, every power holding you down and every veil covering your spiritual sight so as not to see and take the right step shall be destroyed in the authoritative name of JESUS CHRIST. ACTION POINT: Spend at least 45 minutes in TRUE worship and check in three days what God will do in your life.

TYPES OF DARKNESS – FEAR Part 2


Memory Verse: The fear of the man bringeth a snare but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Proverb 29vs25)

Bible Passage: 1Samuel 17vs24-37

There was a testimony of a woman who wanted to watch the sermon of Pastor E.A Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian of God live on a satellite media. In the course of watching the sermon which she had purposed in her heart to watch that very night with her family, the fuel in the generator got finished, this woman was not happy. Not quite long, she went inside to get two cups of water which she poured into the generator. To the surprise of her husband and children the generator kicked on. Later, the generator stopped and she went ahead to do the same thing, the generator worked the second time until they finished watching the sermon. WHAT A GREAT FAITH!

When faith is in action, fear disappears, but when doubt sets in, failure emerges. Let us look at the lifestyle of David as an embodiment of faith. In 1Samuel 17vs34-37, we were told that David killed a lion and a bear with his hand. We were also made to understand that David was not up to 20 years old when he killed the lion and the bear, meaning that he was an adolescent. For a young boy to kill a lion a bear, you should understand that it takes nothing but faith.

COURAGE BREEDS FAITH!

He also brought down the head of the greatest warrior of the philistines who had been a threat and a terror to the Israelites with just a stone and a sling (1Samuel 17vs48-51). I decree in the name that is above every other name, any gods despising and harassing the name of God in your life is hereby destroyed in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Fear brings lost of integrity. You may ask, how? In Genesis 12vs10-20, because of fear in the heart of Abraham (Abram), he lied to king Pharaoh. When the truth was disclosed to the king and got to the notice of Abraham, he felt ashamed of himself and Pharaoh ordered his men to send him out. I believe this is the reason Abraham decided to live a life of faith. Till now, his legacy is and will ever be remembered. In some families, curses have been pronounced to them that they will not live beyond a certain age and has brought a huge fear into their lives. This led them to visiting different herbalists, fake pastors/prophets, as a result compiling their problems. Many of them even died before the range due to fear. I want you to know that devil is the author and founder of fear. When he inflicts fear in you he makes you live in the greatest mystery of your life.

FEAR BRINGS FAILURE!

You are no more stabilized in the season of fear. Your sense of reasoning or mind-set is changed, thereby leads to misappropriation of things which results to failure. Fear will never give you room to solutions. It darkens your mind-set. It brings total darkness. The moment fear penetrates into your life, you instantly lose your victory to the devil.

ACTION POINT: Give your absolute life to JESUS. Start studying and meditating on the word of God. Spend quality time worshiping and praising God and also spend quality time in intense prayer and fasting. Reject every worry that comes your way. Reject any negativity, confessing that JESUS CHRIST has the final say in your life

TYPES OF DARKNESS - FEAR Part 1


Memorize: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name.” (John 1vs12)

READ: Daniel 3vs1-30

THE OPPOSITE OF FEAR IS FAITH. The greatest enemy of man is fear. It stands as gods in the lives of its victims. It operates like a mustard seed. It brings diseases, though the victim may not have any disease before but immediately fear sets in, different types of ailment/diseases appear. It eventually kills faster than any other diseases. In most cases, the fear of unknown is the one that kills faster. In Daniel 3vs1-30, the people of Babylon were afraid of the consequence of not bowing to the gods (image of gold) set up by the king, Nebuchadnezzar. This fear made them to bow to the graven image. As a result, their response to fear brought about disappointment to them as they witness the Hebrew men who did not bow to the graven image. It is affirmed in Daniel 11vs32 that those who know their God (The Almighty God) shall be strong and do exploit; the New International Version (NIV) says: “but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.” In Numbers 13, God told Moses to send some men to explore the land of Cannan. Truly, what they saw were frightening.

The physical nature most times may be frightening but by using the eyes of faith, those things that are frightening will be like an ant. Due to what they saw, they all went back to give bad report except Caleb and Joshua who had strong faith in God, said to Moses and Aaron that though the land was frightening but they could conquer, seeing that the place was filled with goodies of life. Surprisingly and unfortunately, those who gave the bad report concerning the land died before they got there. Be cautious of your attitude to the challenges you are facing lest you regret your action later. This tells us that you can bring damnation to yourself through fear.As destructive as fear is, its remedy is within us. When God originally created us, our fore parent made us to sin, due to this, God sent His only begotten son for the remission of our sins. John 1vs12 says “but as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name

ACTION POINT: receive the only begotten son, JESUS CHRIST now. It is your gateway to total freedom

TAKE A LEAD!


Memory Verse: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:" (1 Peter 2:9).

Bible Passage : 1Samuel 17vs1-51

Every creature is created with a special endowment. However, there is a common attribute of every human being and that is the power to make choice.
In spite of this, many people still find it difficult to exercise that general privilege of man. What can we say cause this. Firstly, inferiority complex is one of the diseases of life affecting most people, both christians and non-Christians. Perhaps they don't have a good wears to put on, good cars, nice home, etc
In the bible passage we read earlier, we will notice how frightening a whole great nation like Israel was before a single man. Was it that nobody believed God? Was there no prophet? There were prophets. God noticed the cowardice in the hearts of the Israelites, so he decided to use a small boy as a demonstration of His power.
"But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." (Daniel 11:32b). When everyone is moving backward, move forward. When some are afraid of persecution, step out and be like the three Hebrew men. When people complain about your country's Economy Global meltdown, change your song to Economy Global Abundance. Always remember his promises in your life. Are you experiencing misappropriation in your company, office or industry and all your colleagues and boss are down mentally, say it out that "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28).
"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee." (1 Samuel 17:37). WOW!!! WHAT A GREAT CONVICTION! He was never thinking of any defeat, he assured King Saul of his victory through the God of Israel. Know this for sure, that IT IS NOT ABOUT THE SMALL DAVID AND THE BIG GOLIATH BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT THE BIG GOD OF DAVID CHALLENGING THE SMALL GOD OF GOLIATH.
I pray for you in the name that is above every other name, every Goliath challenging your marriage, academics, finance, career, business, success, promotion, fruitfulness is hereby destroyed by the fire of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus Christ.

David never compromised. In spite the insult and embarrassment he got from his elders, he never compromised the power and capability of the Most High. Your family might be under a severe ancestral curse, you can break the curse. All you need is AUTHORITY, COMMAND, DECREE. To get this you need to know the source of these things. In JESUS CHRIST alone can AUTHORITY, COMMAND and DECREE be found. There is no problem or gods that does not respect the AUTHORITY of JESUS CHRIST. To be a partaker of the authority, ACCEPT Jesus Christ now as your father and obey Him. Forsake every other gods completely and follow Christ Jesus.


PRAYER: Father, I have admitted that I am a sinner, please have mercy on me in the name of Jesus Christ. I receive the AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ now, therefore every power from the kingdom of darkness waging war against my life, CATCH FIRE NOW in the name of Jesus Christ

TYPES OF DARKNESS – ANGER


TYPES OF DARKNESS – ANGER

Bible Passage: Exodus 32:19-24
One of the most destructive measures of a man is ANGER. Moses lost his long-awaiting promise land not because he was too old but of a little anger. This also led to the argument between Satan and God over his corpse. Most times, fear overwhelms me when I look at Moses latter end and compare to most Christians nowadays. A man who feared and obeyed God to the letter exhibited a little anger and nearly ended up in hell, let alone us.

A lot of people are under the greatest mystery ever of their lives just because of a little anger. The fact remains, that one can never progress in the command of anger. It makes one rise and fall. When you fall, you may not have the opportunity to rise again. Anger destroys destiny, irrespective of your service in the vineyard of God. Anger breeds a lot of crisis when not controlled. Anger is contagious! I have once been a victim of anger in time past. For instance, someone cheated on you in one way or the other and you narrated the scenario to a close friend of yours. After listening to the story, your friends picked up anger on that person as well. Anger keeps its victims in total darkness. 

Are you a victim of anger? It is your fault, try and check your family, there is no way you will not see at least one person with angry trait, which simply tell you that it is hereditary. ANGER IS DEMONIC! Don’t forget devil always lives in darkness. Therefore any of his victims automatically lives in darkness. The reason you can find someone with anger in your family is because it has become a gods in your family. You can be like Jabez who refused to let his background ridicule him further. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! GET OUT OF ANGER!
Besides, it could be the wiles of the devil for you not to engage in the promises of God for your lives; this is why you must alert in the Spirit lest your destiny be denied of you. I pray in the name that is above every other name, every altar of anger in your family and vicinity is hereby destroyed by the fire of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name.
Anger keeps you away from benefactors. It keeps you away from your husband0-to-be. It demotes you. It brings shame. It puts you in a desert.

Who are friends of anger? They are pride, lies, cheating, disappointment, envy, etc if you, in one way or the other, possess any of the friends of anger mentioned above, sorry, your life is in total darkness. Only JESUS CHRIST, the only begotten son of God can help your helpless situation.
Accept JESUS CHRIST NOW! A minute after may be too late.

PRAYER:  Father, I know I am a sinner, please have mercy on me and give me the grace to sin no more. Every form of anger in my life let it disappear now in the unfailing name of JESUS CHRIST, AMEN

BE WISE!


Memory verse: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time (1Peter 5vs6)

Bible Passage: 1 Kings 12vs1-en


In Proverb 4vs7, we are told that WISDOM is the principal thing. It is very certain that the longevity of a king is in the application of wisdom. So also, the longevity of your being is in the application of wisdom.

In most cases God sends his servants to speak to us but due to the ignorance of the undiluted word of God, we neglect the counsel of the elders. An elder is someone who has more knowledge and experience than we are. If a child tells his father not to ply a certain path, there is something God has shown that child. Meaning that, at that moment God has put the child in the position of an elder. Generally, elders are people that are older than us.

So, neglecting the voice of God which is sent to you through an elder or His servant is like walking on a pathway to destruction.

In the bible passage, Rehoboam was too big to take to the advise of the elders, rather he made use of the counsel of the young men which made him to lose his position.

The second Pharaoh of Egypt also never followed the footprint of his predecessor, instead he was very mad at people of Israel by captivating them which led to his severe and mysterious destruction of himself and his warriors.

Elisha never forgot his predecessor, he followed his footprint and thereby did greater works than Elijah did.

In Judges 16, we can also learn from Samson's mistakes. After he had been warned not to marry any philistine, he forsook the right counsel and agreed to his lustful thought which led him to his mysterious lost of power.

In all the evidences, we can be 100% sure that when we don't apply wisdom by accepting the counsel of God through His genuine sons and daughters, we will surely and eventually bite our fingers.

HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE RIGHT COUNSEL?

First thing is to accept Jesus Christ into your life and live His lifestyle. After you are being born-again, you must study & meditate on the word of God daily. Thirst after and ask for the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be the one directing you, will give you a discerning spirit to know which counsel is good or not.

In conclusion, any counsel that is not biblical and convinced by us through the help of the Holy Spirit is satanic.

PRAYER: Father, break me down and re mould me. Grant me divine wisdom to differentiate between right & wrong counsel in Jesus name

TYPES OF NAKEDNESS


BIBLE PASSAGE: GENESIS 2:15-25

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NAKEDNESS

1. NAKEDNESS OF MAN
2. NAKEDNESS OF GOD

NAKEDNESS OF MAN BRINGS SHAME AND DISGRACE TO HIM. PHYSICALLY, IF ANY LADY SHOWS HER NAKEDNESS TO ANY YOUNG MAN, SHE IS A SHAME AND DISGRACE TO HER BODY WHICH SHOULD BE UNTO THE LORD.
A MAD MAN WHO IS NAKED AND A MALE CHILD WHO IS SAGGING ARE IN ONE GROUP, THEREFORE, SHAME AND DISGRACE IS ALL OVER THEM.

WHAT BRINGS ABOUT NAKEDNESS IN MAN?

THE BIBLE MAKES US TO UNDERSTAND SIN SEPARATE US FROM GOD. SIN BRINGS MAN'S NAKEDNESS. IMMEDIATELY SAMSON FELL INTO THE HANDS OF DELILAH, THE POWER DEPARTED FROM HIM. WHEN SIN ENTERED INTO THE LIFE OF GEHAZI, HE LOST HIS INHERITANCE AS A PROPHET (2KINGS 20-27). WHEN SAUL SINNED HE LOST HIS THRONE TO DAVID.
NEVERTHELESS, THE LOST OF OUR DESTINY DOES NOT GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BACK OUT FROM GOD. TAKING A VIVID LOOK AT THE LIVES OF ADAM, SAUL AND GEHAZI, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THEY NEVER APOLOGISED TO GOD, THEY NEVER ASKED FOR MERCY, INSTEAD ADAM WAS ACCUSING GOD FOR GIVING HIM EVE.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF NAKED?

1. FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF, KNOWING YOU ATRE NAKED
2. SEEK THE FACE OF GOD FOR MERCY AND COVERAGE
3. ACCEPT THE GIFT OF HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST
4. ASK FOR AND THIRST AFTER THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

I PRAY FOR YOU THIS DAY IN THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME, EVERY FORM OF NAKEDNESS YOU HAVE FOUND YOURSELF THROUGH SIN OR BY ANY MEANS, BY THE MERCY OF GOD, THEY SHALL TAKE THEIR LEAVE IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.

2. THE NAKEDNESS OF GOD IS ALWAYS A PRIVILEGED TO MAN SO AS TO DISCOVER HIMSELF.
GOD CREATED ADAM NAKED; GOD DID NOT GIVE HIM CLOTH, WHY? IT IS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ADAM NEEDED HAS BEEN PUT INSIDE OF HIM, SO GOD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU MONEY, THE MONEY HAS BEEN PUT INSIDE OF YOU SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED.
SOME COUNTRIES, LIKE NIGERIA IS SPIRITUALLY NAKED, AND FOR HER TO BE COVERED WITH GARMENT, SHE NEEDS TO DISCOVER HERSELF BY CREATING IDEAS OF MAKING HERSELF COVERED. DON'T FORGET THAT WE ARE NIGERIANS. THE REASON WHY YOU ARE STILL NAKED IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT/NEVER CREATED ANY IDEA THAT WILL PUT AN END TO YOUR NAKEDNESS. GOD CAN NEVER BLESS YOU AGAIN, IN GENESIS 1, WE WERE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AFTER GOD HAD FINISHED MAKING MAN, BEING NAKED, HE BLESSED THEM, THIS MEANS, EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS A BLESSING FROM THE INCEPTION OF LIFE.

NOW, STOP PRAYING WRONG PRAYERS, AND
START CREATING A GODLY IDEA(s) WHICH WILL
CATAPULT YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF
GREATNESS.
STOP CRAWLING!
STOP WALKING!
STOP LEAPING!
STOP RUNNING!
START FLYING ON THE EAGLES WIN

PRAYER: FATHER, OPEN MY EYES TO SEE MY WRONG DOINGS AND HELP ME TO MAKE AMMENDS. GIVE ME THE DIVINE WISDOM AND POWER TO CREATE IN A GODLY MANNER IN JESUS NAME
