Remain in covenant!

“The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.” Psalm 78:9-11 KJV

You shall not turn back in the day of battle. You shall advance and conquer in Jesus’ name. Yesterday, I wrote about remembering the act of God. Two other things are also important, staying in the covenant and walking in obedience to His word. If you keep God’s covenant, walk in His law, and remember His act, there is no way you can be beaten by any battle of life. Fortunately, grace is available for all New Testament believers to walk in His covenant and in obedience. Titus 2:11-12.  Genesis 6:18

When these three things are in place in your life, what destroys other people becomes your protection. Also, what subdues others become your stepping stone. Declare that nothing shall send you out of His covenant. Declare that you are walking in obedience. Always declare His marvelous work in your life. And see your mountain crumbling and your red sea parting.

Prophetic Word: You shall not turn back in the day of battle. Grace will sustain your obedience, and nothing will draw you away from God’s covenant. Every mountain before you shall give way, every closed path shall open, and what was intended to stop you shall become a testimony of advancement. You will advance, overcome, and possess your victory in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, keep me steadfast in Your covenant. Give me grace to obey Your Word and never forget Your mighty works. Strengthen me in every battle, remove every obstacle before me, and turn every opposition into a stepping stone for my advancement. I will not retreat; I will overcome through Your grace, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Remember God’s work!

“The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.” Psalm 78:9-11 KJV

When life confronts you with a new battle, remember what God has done before. Memory strengthens faith. David faced Goliath with confidence because he remembered how God had delivered him from the lion and the bear. His past victories became evidence that God would deliver him again (1 Samuel 17:37). Never allow today’s challenge to make you forget yesterday’s testimony.

Testimonies are powerful because they remind us that God is still at work. Scripture declares that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). What God has done before becomes a declaration of what He is able to do again. Your victory does not depend merely on the strength of your resources, but on the presence and power of God. The battle may be greater, but God remains greater still.

Prophetic Word: I declare that the God who delivered you before will arise for you again. Your present battle will not defeat you. The same hand that brought you through yesterday will carry you into victory today. You will overcome this battle, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, thank You for every victory and every deliverance You have given me. Help me never to forget Your faithfulness. As I face today’s challenges, strengthen my faith and let Your presence go before me. Arise on my behalf and give me victory over every battle, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Choose faith over fear!

 “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” Numbers 13:30 KJV

It’s a new week when we transit into another month, may God exceed your expectations for this month in Jesus’ name. No matter what you do, choose faith over fear. Choose to believe God and not your enemy. The promised land is for you to take, the giants notwithstanding.

Fear is a natural choice while faith is a spiritual choice.  It is human to choose fear; it is divine to choose faith (Numbers 14:24). If you want faith to be a natural choice for you, you must feed your mind with the word of God and receive the spirit of faith. The truth of your situation is seen by the eyes of the spirit, not by your feelings or physical eyes. Please stop justifying your choice of fear, it will hurt you, open the door for the enemy, and limit God in your life. If you choose faith, you will always win (1 John 5:4).

Prophetic Word: I declare over you that fear will not stop you. Every giant before you will become evidence of God’s faithfulness. You will enter into what God has promised you, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: I receive the Spirit of faith and reject the spirit of fear. I possess my possession this week in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lord is with you!

“The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” Judges 6:12 NLT

Gideon did not look like a mighty hero when God addressed him as one; he felt weak, insignificant, and inadequate. God did not define him by what he felt. The decisive factor was that God chose to be with him. When God is with you, your weaknesses and limitations do not matter anymore, you become a mighty hero (Judges 6:12–16; Romans 8:31). See also how David wasted Goliath and became an instant hero in 1 Samuel 17. You don’t have to look like it, but you must carry His presence.

Joseph experienced the same reality. Though rejected, sold, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Scripture repeatedly declares, “The Lord was with Joseph,” and he prospered even in adversity (Genesis 39:2–3, 21–23). Stephen likewise testified that Joseph became great because God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles (Acts 7:9–10). Please treasure the presence of God above everything else.

Prophetic Word: I declare that the presence of God will distinguish you. You will rise above limitations, overcome opposition, and fulfil God’s purpose for your life. The Lord is with you! In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, let Your presence go with me today. Turn my weakness into strength, my obstacles into testimonies, and cause me to prosper in Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Choose to believe God!

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.” Judges 6:12 KJV

Gideon saw his weakness; God spoke to the courage He would bring forth. God called him a mighty man while he was still hiding from his enemies. God’s word about you is greater than what your present circumstances say about you. As you behold Him, you are transformed into His image (2 Corinthians 3:18). Therefore, when God speaks concerning you or your situation, believe Him.

If God calls you mighty, believe Him and begin to speak and act in agreement with His word (Judges 6:12; Joel 3:10). If He calls you the father of many nations while everything around you says otherwise, believe Him, as Abraham did (Genesis 17:5; Romans 4:19–21). If God speaks abundance when you are surrounded by lack, hold on to His word above what you can presently see. God’s verdict is superior to your condition (Romans 3:4). So, do not conclude a matter until you have heard what God says about it. Peter had caught nothing all night, but one word from Jesus changed everything (Luke 5:4–6).

Prophetic Word: The fear that has held you back will not define your future. As you trust the Lord and obey His leading, He will give you courage for what lies ahead. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, help me believe what You say above what can see. Give me courage to obey You today, even before I see the outcome. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Worried? No

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.” Philippians 4:6 NLT

Worrying is a natural response to a situation that looks difficult or impossible. Worrying is a negative expectation, an expectation that the situation will not turn out well. Worrying is easy, it’s a default, no push is required to worry, but it does not bring the solution. Worrying opens doors for further attack and defeat. Worrying is a negative emotional state. Praying is an antidote to worrying. Thanking God is an antidote to worrying. Praying and giving thanks bring solution to the challenges.

No matter be the case, always remember that God cares and He will carry your burden. When situations are beyond you, your knowledge of God and the assurance of His care is what can silence the voice of worry (Mark 4:38; Psalms 55:22). Pray about everything giving thanks but worry about nothing.

Prophetic Word: You will not be put to shame. God will help you, steady your heart, and carry you through. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, I give You every worry and tell You what I need. Thank You for hearing me. Fill my heart with Your peace and help me trust You always. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God is for you!

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:29-31 KJV

God’s purpose has been established before your present struggle begins. He has called you to become more like Christ, and He is at work in your life until you are justified and glorified (Romans 8:29–30). Opposition may come, but it cannot overturn what God has purposed. No matter what you are going through, you will not be put to shame; glory is coming (2 Corinthians 4:17)

Receive His Word and stay close to Him (Job 22:22). Walk in His purpose with confidence. The God who called you and who is at work in you, is for you (Romans 8:31).

Prophetic Word: What stands against you shall not be able to withstand you. You shall crush all oppositions and move on. As you follow God, you will see His purpose prevail. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, help me receive Your Word, trust Your purpose, and walk with You boldly. Shape me into the likeness of Christ. I receive all that You have done for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
