Candidate for power!

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.” Acts 16:25-26 KJV

It’s the last day of the first month in 2026. Did you see the power of God this month? This year is a year of God’s power, and you are not excluded. Every child of God is a candidate for divine power, empowered by adoption, authorized by Christ, and energized by the Holy Spirit (John 1:12, Luke 10:19, Acts 1:8). No matter how bound you may feel, the power of God is available to bring liberty, breakthrough, and visible change.

Paul and Silas teach us a powerful lesson. They were not in prison because they lacked faith; they were there in obedience. Yet, at midnight, they chose prayer and praise. Their worship became a trigger for divine intervention. Chains fell, doors opened, and even others were set free. When the enemy cannot silence your prayer, praise, and declarations, he cannot prevent the manifestation of God’s power in your life (Acts 16:25-26, Acts 3:6, Job 22:28). Your voice is a weapon, and your worship is an invitation for heaven to intervene. Do not allow circumstances to disqualify you in your own mind. You are a candidate for power right now. As you lift your voice in faith, as you declare God’s Word, and as you worship despite pressure, power will be released. This season, what holds you bound will break, and what looks impossible will respond to divine authority.

Prophetic Word: I declare that you will experience the manifest power of God in this season. Every chain around your life is breaking, every closed door is opening, and every limitation is giving way. As you pray and praise, power is released on your behalf. This is your season of testimony, victory, and undeniable evidence of God’s power, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Oh God, I thank You that I am a candidate for Your power. Ignite my spirit with faith, strengthen my voice in prayer and praise, and release Your power into every area of my life. Let every chain be broken and every door be opened by Your mighty hand. I receive my testimony and walk in victory, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

It is a stepping stone!

“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 KJV

In this year of God’s power, I want to challenge you to change how you see opposition, delays, and attacks. What looks like a setback is often a setup. What seems like a stumbling block is actually a stepping stone designed to move you closer to your destiny. When you are conscious of God’s presence, nothing the enemy throws at you can destroy you; everything becomes material for your testimony. Jesus made it clear that trials can become platforms for God’s glory (Luke 21:13; John 9:2–3). Joseph’s life illustrates this powerfully. His dreams provoked jealousy, betrayal, and rejection, but every attack pushed him closer to the fulfilment of God’s purpose (Acts 7:9–10). Even the prison that Potiphar sent him to was strategically closer to the throne. His gift got an opportunity for palace awareness right in the prison.

This year, refuse to interpret adversity as defeat. Adjust your perspective, and you will discover that resistance is refining you, opposition is positioning you, and challenges are shaping you for manifestation. Pray, study God’s Word, make faith declarations, and strengthen your mind and spirit. As you grow in spiritual and mental resilience, what was meant to stop you will become a pathway to progress.

Prophetic Word: I declare that every attack against you turns into a stepping stone for your elevation. What was meant for harm is working for your advancement. Your trials are becoming testimonies, your opposition is becoming promotion, and your struggles are producing glory. You are rising, advancing, and manifesting God’s purpose for your life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: My Father and my God, thank You that every challenge in my life can become a testimony. Open my eyes to see stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. Strengthen my spirit, renew my mind, and help me grow through every opposition. I declare that all things are working together for my good, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

You are going through!

 “For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” Psalm 18:29 KJV

I have a word for you today: you are not stuck, delayed, or defeated, you are going through. By the strength of God, you will run through every obstacle and leap over every limitation. What looks like a wall is becoming a stepping stone, and what looks like opposition is becoming a testimony. You will go through the Red Sea, and it will not consume you (Exodus 14:15). You will go through the Jericho wall, and it will not stop you (Joshua 6:20). You will go through the fire, and it will not burn you (Isaiah 43:2). Every barrier that once stood before you is yielding to the power of God in your life. The sea will flee before you, the Jordan will be driven back, the mountains will skip like rams, and the little hills like lambs (Psalm 114:3–4).

No matter the resistance or opposition, you are going through. This first quarter of 2026 will not end in defeat but in breakthrough, progress, and victory.

Prophetic Word: I declare that you are moving forward without obstruction. Every wall before you is collapsing, every sea before you is parting, and every fire around you is losing its power. You are leaping over limitations, surpassing expectations, and advancing by divine grace. Nothing shall stop your progress, and you will testify of God’s mighty deliverance, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, thank You that by Your strength I can run through every obstacle and leap over every wall. I declare that no barrier can stop my progress. Drive back every sea, remove every wall, and quench every fire around me. I move forward in faith, confidence, and victory, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Hard, but possible!

 “And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.” 2 Kings 2:10 KJV

As this first month draws to a close, I want to challenge you to confront what looks hard in your life this year. Some goals, problems, and assignments may appear difficult, intimidating, or beyond your current capacity, but hard does not mean impossible. Hard things require strong faith, focused effort, and persistence.

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, a request Elijah himself called “a hard thing.” Yet, Elisha received it because he remained focused, persistent, and spiritually aligned (2 Kings 2:15). In the same way, God invites you to ask for big, challenging, and stretching things. Our God specializes in hard things; nothing is too difficult for Him (Jeremiah 32:17). When you face hard situations, do not give up. Circumstances are temporary and subject to change (2 Corinthians 4:18). As you engage God in prayer, study His Word, and take disciplined action, He builds supernatural capacity in you to solve hard problems and achieve what once seemed impossible.

Prophetic Word: I declare that you are rising to confront hard challenges with faith and courage. What once intimidated you is becoming achievable by God’s grace. You are receiving divine wisdom, strength, and supernatural capacity to overcome obstacles. Hard things are turning into testimonies, and difficult assignments are yielding great results in your life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, thank You that nothing is too hard for You. I choose to confront difficult challenges with faith and perseverance. Strengthen my faith, expand my capacity, and give me wisdom to handle hard situations. I refuse to give up, and I believe that all things are possible with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Release your faith! 3

 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:20 KJV

Faith is released when we are consciously aware of God’s abiding presence. Jesus promised, “I am with you always,” because He knew that confidence in His presence would empower believers to act in faith without fear or hesitation. Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus operated with full assurance that the Father was with Him. He testified that He did nothing of Himself but what He saw the Father do (John 5:19), and Scripture affirms that God was with Him, anointing Him with the Holy Spirit and power (Acts 10:38).

When you are convinced that God is with you, fear loses its grip. You can speak to mountains, confront challenges, and walk through trials with boldness, knowing that you are not alone (Isaiah 43:2). Awareness of His presence strengthens your faith and releases you to act courageously. Spending time with God daily through prayer, Scripture, and worship deepens this consciousness of His presence. As you cultivate intimacy with Him, your faith becomes natural and spontaneous. You begin to speak, act, and pray with confidence, knowing that the One who promised is always with you.

Prophetic Word: I declare that you are becoming increasingly aware of God’s abiding presence in your life. Fear and doubt are replaced with confidence and boldness. As you walk with the assurance that He is with you, your faith is activated, your words carry power, and your steps are ordered by the Spirit. Breakthroughs, victories, and divine guidance are manifesting in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your promise to be with me always. I acknowledge Your presence in my life and choose to walk in confidence and faith. Help me to spend time with You daily so that my awareness of You will grow stronger. Remove fear, strengthen my faith, and empower me to speak and act boldly. I believe that You are with me in every situation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Release your faith! 2

 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:24-25 KJV

Faith is not only released through believing and speaking; it is also released through forgiveness. Jesus connected answered prayer with a forgiving heart, teaching that unforgiveness can block the flow of faith and hinder spiritual results. When we hold on to offence, bitterness, or resentment, we create a barrier that restricts our faith from operating freely. Forgiveness is therefore not optional for believers who desire to walk in the fullness of God’s promises.

The parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21–35) illustrates the seriousness of unforgiveness. Though the servant was forgiven a great debt, he refused to forgive a much smaller debt, and he suffered severe consequences. This teaches us that receiving God’s grace must be accompanied by extending grace to others. When we forgive, we align our hearts with God’s heart, release ourselves from spiritual bondage, and create room for faith to function effectively. Forgiveness is an act of faith and obedience. It does not always depend on emotions or circumstances; it is a deliberate decision to release others from their offences and trust God with justice and healing. As you forgive, you free your heart, strengthen your faith, and position yourself to receive answers to your prayers.

Prophetic Word: I declare that your heart is being healed and empowered to forgive. Every root of bitterness is uprooted, and every barrier to your faith is removed. As you release forgiveness, heaven is responding, your prayers are answered, and divine grace is flowing into your life. Restoration, peace, and breakthroughs are manifesting in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness in my life. I choose to forgive everyone who has offended or hurt me. I release every form of bitterness, anger, and resentment, and I surrender them to You. Cleanse my heart, strengthen my faith, and help me to walk in love and obedience. I believe that as I forgive, my prayers are answered and my faith is released. In Jesus’ name, Amen.  

Release your faith! 1

 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:21-24 KJV

Faith must be released for miracles to manifest. Faith is released through action, speech, and declaration. The woman with the issue of blood released her faith by acting, she pressed through the crowd and touched Jesus’ garment (Mark 5:27–29). Jesus taught that faith is released through spoken words, when we speak to the mountain with conviction and without doubt (Mark 11:23). He further instructed that we must believe we have received when we pray, even before the evidence appears (Mark 11:24).

Throughout Scripture, faith that is released produces tangible results. Elijah instructed the widow to act on God’s Word despite her lack, and her obedience released supernatural provision (1 Kings 17:12–15). As we hear the Word of God, faith is built in our hearts (Acts 14:9–10), but it must be activated through obedience, confession, and confident expectation. Therefore, refuse to keep your faith dormant. Act on what God has said, speak what you believe, and declare what you are trusting Him for. As you release your faith, you position yourself for divine intervention, supernatural provision, and undeniable testimonies.

Prophetic Word: I declare that your faith is being released with power. Every mountain before you is moving, every barrier is giving way, and every promise is coming to pass. As you speak and act in faith, miracles are manifesting in your life. Your prayers are answered, your expectations are fulfilled, and your testimony is unfolding, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for the gift of faith. I choose to release my faith through action, confession, and confident expectation. I speak to every mountain in my life and command it to move. I believe that I receive what I ask in prayer, and I trust Your Word without doubt. Strengthen my faith and help me to walk boldly in obedience. I declare that miracles are manifesting in my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
