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.

Light births faith!

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 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.” Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV

Light births faith, and when faith is in place, victory is inevitable (1John 5:4).  Faith is ignited when we see what God sees and hear what God is saying. Peter did not know he could walk on water until he saw Jesus walking on it and received the Word, “Come” (Matthew 14:28–29). Moses did not know how to confront the Red Sea until God instructed him to go forward and stretch out his rod (Exodus 14:15–16). Likewise, Peter did not know that he could still succeed in the midst of failure until Jesus spoke to him and directed him to cast the nets again (Luke 5:4–6). In each case, divine instruction brought illumination, and illumination birthed faith.

Light comes through the Word of God (Psalm 119:130). When God speaks, darkness loses its power, and uncertainty gives way to divine direction. No matter what you are facing, you must seek God’s light through His Word, His Spirit, and His presence. Therefore, refuse to remain in darkness. Seek God’s Word, ask for divine revelation, and position yourself to receive spiritual illumination. When your light comes, your faith will rise, and your testimony will follow.

Prophetic Word: I declare that light is breaking forth in your life. The Word of the Lord is illuminating your path, and faith is rising within you. Darkness is losing its grip, and victory is manifesting in your journey. You will walk in divine insight, make wise decisions, and experience supernatural breakthroughs. Your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, I receive Your light into every area of my life. Let Your Word illuminate my mind, my decisions, and my path. Where there has been fear, release faith. Help me to walk in revelation, obey Your instructions, and trust Your guidance. I declare that darkness has no place in my life, and I walk in Your light daily, in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Light is our advantage!

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV

Light is our advantage; light is an antidote to ignorance (darkness). Where there is light, the enemy loses his advantage (John 1:5; Ephesians 5:8). Light positions you to walk in discernment, wisdom, and spiritual clarity.  Ignorance is a tool of the adversary (2 Corinthians 2:11), but revelation is God’s gift to His children (Ephesians 1:17). When God gives light, He empowers you to see, to understand, and to respond wisely to spiritual and natural realities (Psalm 119:130; Daniel 2:22).

Satan thrives in secrecy and deception, but he is powerless when exposed. Scripture shows that when God revealed the plans of the enemy, His people were preserved and victorious (2 Kings 6:8–12). God also speaks through His Word, dreams, visions, and the inward witness of the Spirit to warn, guide, and instruct His people (Job 33:15–17; Matthew 2:13–14). When you prioritize fellowship with God, your spiritual senses are sharpened, and the strategies of the enemy are unveiled before they can harm you (1 Samuel 30:6–8; 1 Corinthians 2:10–12). Therefore, do not despise revelation, instruction, or spiritual insight. Seek God’s Word diligently, cultivate sensitivity to His Spirit, and walk in obedience to what He reveals.

Prophetic Word: I declare that the light of God will continually shine upon your path. Every hidden plan of the enemy against you shall be exposed and neutralized. You will not walk in confusion or deception, but in clarity, wisdom, and divine insight. The Spirit of God will illuminate your understanding, and you will walk in discernment and victory in every season, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: My Father and My God, thank You for Your light that guides, protects, and empowers me. I reject ignorance, deception, and spiritual blindness. Illuminate my heart with Your Word and help me to discern the devices of the enemy. Lead me in truth, wisdom, and obedience, that I may walk in victory and fulfil Your purpose for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 

It must take faith!

 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 KJV

If what you are facing, or the vision God has placed in your heart, can only be accomplished by faith, rejoice. It is evidence that your life is aligned with what pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). Those who walk with God are often led into assignments beyond human strength, where obedience to His instruction and trust in His promises become essential (1 Samuel 30:6–8; 2 Kings 5:1–14). In God’s kingdom, faith is not optional; it is our way of life. “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17), we are “justified by faith” (Romans 5:1), and saved “by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8–9). What requires faith invites God’s power, for He delights in revealing His strength through human weakness (Zechariah 4:6; 2 Corinthians 12:9).

Therefore, do not pursue goals that require no dependence on God, and do not run from challenges because they seem larger than your ability. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4), as seen when David faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17) and when Gideon embraced God’s call despite his limitations (Judges 6:12–16). Remain steadfast in every season; offer God quality praise and worship, declare His promises, ask for His wisdom, and rely on His strength. As you persist in faith, expect the supernatural, for faith creates the atmosphere where God turns impossibilities into testimonies and challenges into platforms for His glory.

Prophetic Word: I declare that your faith will not fail. As you choose to trust God beyond what you can see or understand, He will reward you openly. Every challenge before you shall become a testimony of God’s power. Grace is released to strengthen you, and divine help will locate you. You will move from faith to faith and from victory to victory; and the hand of God will be evident in all you do, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer: Father, I choose to trust You completely. I reject fear, doubt, and self-reliance. I receive grace to walk by faith, obey Your instructions, and stand firmly on Your promises. Strengthen me by Your Spirit, help me to praise You in every season, and lead me into victory according to Your will. I declare that my life will please You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
