Don’t give up, joy is coming!

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 KJV

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Psalm 126:5 KJV

In life’s journey, quitting is not an option. When you face trials, remember that stopping halfway through the fire only increases the pain. Keep moving, because at the end of the tunnel, there is light. As Robert Schuller wisely said, “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” Your breakthrough is nearer than when the battle began. The one who refuses to give up will soon sing the song of victory.

Even if the enemy attacks from all sides, don’t lose heart, stand firm in faith! The Bible reveals that even demons get weary and seek rest (Luke 11:24). So, let the Holy Spirit strengthen you daily and let the joy of the Lord be your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Remember Joseph: though betrayed, enslaved, and imprisoned, he never allowed his situation to defeat his spirit. He remained joyful and steadfast, knowing that God’s promises would surely come to pass.

Hold on! Your season of tears will give way to rejoicing. The night may seem long, but dawn is certain. Joy will come in the morning.

Prophetic Word: I declare that your night of weeping is over! The dawn of joy, victory, and divine restoration has come in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, I refuse to give up. Strengthen my heart and cause me to see my breakthrough, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

More of You, Lord!

 “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30

“For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.” Acts 17:28

As a believer, your greatest pursuit in life should be to have more of God and less of self. The more of God you carry, the more His presence, wisdom, and power are revealed in and through you. You are His vessel, His instrument, His oracle, His mouthpiece, and His representative on earth. You are light to the world and salt to the earth. The quality of your life and the impact you have depend on how much of Him is expressed in you.

Your life is not your own; you belong to God. Every thought, word, and action should point others to Him. The more you yield, the more He fills you. When God increases in your life, your fears decrease, your weaknesses fade, and your destiny unfolds in glory. Allow His Spirit to lead you, shape your desires, and purify your motives. As you decrease, He increases,  and when He increases, everything about your life aligns with divine purpose.

Remember, it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). This means your struggles, burdens, and battles are no longer yours to carry; they are His. The more you surrender, the lighter your load becomes. The more of Him you have, the stronger, wiser, and more victorious you become. Do not seek to be seen, seek for Christ to be revealed. Do not strive to be heard, let His voice echo through your obedience. Let your daily prayer be: “Lord, more of You and less of me.”

Prophetic Word: I declare that God will increase in every area of your life. His wisdom will guide your steps, His power will rest upon you, and His presence will overshadow every weakness. You will shine as His light and preserve the earth as His salt. The world will see Christ in you, the hope of glory, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Prayer: Oh Lord, increase in my life and let self decrease. Fill me with Your Spirit until my words, thoughts, and actions reflect You alone. I yield my heart, my will, and my desires to You. Let my life bring You glory every day. More of You, Lord, and less of me, in Jesus’ name. Amen

The Two Things You Must Keep!

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23

“…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” — Nehemiah 8:10

As a child of God, your future is glorious. However, to fully walk in that glory, there are two things you must keep with utmost diligence: your heart and your joy.

Your heart is the seat of your life, the control room of your thoughts, emotions, and faith. It determines the direction of your destiny. On one side, it can produce unbelief and fear; on the other side, faith and victory. The difference lies in the seed sown into it. Whatever gains access to your heart has entered your life. Therefore, guard your heart from negativity, doubt, and fear. Refuse to let the enemy sow seeds of unbelief. Choose carefully what you see, hear, and meditate on, for they are the gates to your heart and ultimately to your future. Remember, the just shall live by faith.

Equally important is keeping your joy, because the joy of the Lord is your strength. Joy is the fuel that propels you forward into victory. The devil knows that if he can steal your joy, he can weaken your strength. That’s why he constantly reminds you of what is wrong in your life. But you must make the deliberate choice to focus on what is right, on what God has done, and on His promises that never fail. When you keep your joy alive, strength flows into your spirit, enabling you to overcome every challenge. Whatever is wrong in your life cannot last if your joy remains intact, for the joy of the Lord empowers you to outlast and outshine every adversity.

Prophetic Word: I prophesy that your heart will be filled with faith and your life with unshakable joy. No storm will overwhelm you, and no challenge will steal your strength. You will rise above obstacles and walk boldly into your glorious future, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen

Prayer: Lord, help me to guard my heart with diligence and keep my joy unbroken. I declare that my faith is strong, my joy is full, and my victory is sure. I will run through a troop and leap over a wall, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The strong tower

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10 KJV

A strong tower in the Bible represents a secure place of refuge, a fortress where people find safety from every threat or danger of the enemy. Likewise, the name of the Lord serves as a refuge for believers in every generation. Anyone who calls upon His name can find protection from every form of trouble, physical, emotional, or spiritual.

In Psalm 108:10–12, the name of the Lord becomes a weapon of victory even when surrounded by enemies. David invoked this name in 1 Samuel 17:45–47, declaring, “I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts,” and through that name he triumphed over Goliath. In the New Testament, this name is revealed as the name of Jesus, the name above every other name (Philippians 2:9–10; Acts 3:6).

I may not know what you are facing today or what has come against you, but I assure you that in the name of Jesus, you are victorious and safe. If you call upon that name with faith and expectation, you have at your disposal an impregnable fortress, a divine strong tower that never fails.

Prophetic Word: I prophesy over you that you are coming out of every unwanted situation, unshaken and unscathed, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Prayer: I declare that I am protected from all evil and I am victorious in every situation IN JESUS' NAME. Amen.

Price for spiritual power!

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” Isaiah 55:1 KJV

Spiritual power is not bought with money; it is received through hunger and thirst for God. Heaven’s currency is desire, not gold. Those who yearn deeply for God’s presence and righteousness become vessels of His power. Jesus revealed this secret when He cried out, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” (John 7:37). The Holy Spirit flows through those who are desperate for Him, those who make room in their hearts for divine fullness.

True spiritual hunger is not a casual wish; it is a burning desire that drives you to pray, fast, and seek God’s face beyond comfort or convenience. Every man or woman God has used mightily paid the price of thirst and consecration. When you hunger after righteousness, heaven responds with power, revelation, and authority.

Cultivate a thirst for God's power over your life. God fills only the empty and the hungry. The question is not, Do you have money? But rather, do you have hunger?

Prophetic Word: I decree that a fresh hunger for God will consume your heart, and your life will overflow with divine power and revelation in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, deepen my hunger for You. Fill me with Your Spirit until rivers of living water flow from within me. Empower me to live and walk in Your presence daily, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Rejoicing in your weakness!

“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.” 2 Corinthians 13:9 KJV

I have a rather strange title this morning, and you may be wondering why anyone would rejoice in weakness. Yet, this is one of the deepest secrets of divine strength. When you recognize your weakness and turn to God, He replaces it with His strength. That’s when you begin to experience results you cannot humanly explain. Paul understood this truth deeply. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, he wrote, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” When you rejoice in your weakness, you invite the unlimited power of God into your situation. You shift your dependence from self to Spirit. That’s why the prophet Joel declared in Joel 3:10, “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”

You have no reason to fail, despite your weakness. Surrender it to God, and allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and turn it into a testimony (Romans 8:26–28; 2 Chronicles 20).

Prophetic Word: I declare that you will succeed despite your weakness, you will prosper despite your limitations in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help my infirmities and perfect Your strength in me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Not an escape route!

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8 KJV

The second coming of Christ is not an escape route but a moment of glorious reward for those who have fought the good fight of faith and finished their course. As Paul declared in 2 Timothy 4:7–8, our crowns await us, not for those who merely endured, but for those who prevailed with steadfast hearts. This is the time to rise with the courage of a lion and the vision of an eagle. If you have fallen, arise! (Micah 7:8) Dust off discouragement and press forward toward the high calling in Christ (Philippians 3:13–14). While waiting for His return, do not be idle, occupy till He comes (Luke 19:13). Rule your sphere, expand your territory, and live intentionally as one who knows that all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28).

The ancient song we used to sing says, “I am a winner all the time, I am a success and not a failure, I am a winner and not a loser, I am the head and not the tail.” No matter the setback, God can cause your dry tree to blossom again. If you are feeling weak and unable, turn to the Lord and stay there until He equips you and changes your story (Job 14: 7-9,14). Like Jabez, cry out for enlargement (1 Chronicles 4:9–10), and like Peter, cast your net again for a breakthrough (Luke 5:5–6).

Prophetic Word: I declare that every lion roaring against your destiny is silenced; the mountain before you is levelled, and your opposition is giving way in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: O God, I refuse to live an ordinary life; empower me to make my life count for your kingdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
