You must receive power!

 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8 KJV

Power is the key to fulfilling divine purpose and manifesting the kingdom of God on earth. The scriptures reveal that power is necessary to subdue the enemy, as seen when David declared, "Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee" (Psalms 66:3). The enemy only recognizes and bows to power, not mere words or pleading, as illustrated when Samuel anointed Saul, and the Spirit of God came upon him, enabling him to rally Israel to victory (1 Samuel 11:1-11). When King Jeroboam stretched forth his hand against the prophet, power was demonstrated as his hand withered instantly (1 Kings 13:4). This power is not of human origin but is supplied by the Holy Ghost, enabling believers to take dominion and fulfill their divine calling.

You must receive power to lay hold of God’s promises. Jesus instructed the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they were "endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). It was this power that transformed them from fearful men into bold witnesses, turning the world upside down (Acts 17:6). Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot because "the hand of the Lord was on him" (1 Kings 18:46), showing that divine power propels supernatural speed and advancement. Likewise, when the Holy Ghost came upon Jesus at His baptism, He was empowered to launch His ministry with signs and wonders (Luke 4:14). The same power is available to you today through the Holy Ghost! Jesus has poured out His Spirit so that you can move in divine authority, manifest His kingdom, and become an unstoppable force for God’s glory. Receive the power now!

Prophetic word: I declare over your life today: You shall receive power! The Spirit of the Lord shall come upon you mightily, and you shall be transformed into another person (1 Samuel 10:6). Every weakness in your life shall be turned into strength, and every limitation shall be broken by the anointing (Isaiah 10:27). The power of God will move upon you like it moved upon Elijah, and you shall outrun every delay and stagnation (1 Kings 18:46). You are rising into your divine assignment with boldness, for the Holy Ghost shall empower you to be a witness, to conquer territories, and to demonstrate God’s glory upon the earth (Acts 1:8). From this day forward, your life shall be an undeniable evidence of God’s power, and nations shall see His hand upon you. No power of darkness shall be able to withstand you, for the Lord shall go before you and make every crooked place straight (Isaiah 45:2). Receive fresh fire, receive divine strength, receive supernatural speed! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Ghost, the power that enables us to walk in dominion. Lord, I ask for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon my life. Let Your power overshadow me, breaking every chain and limitation in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:1-4). Father, as You anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power, anoint me afresh for my divine assignment (Acts 10:38). Fill me with boldness to be a witness for You, to walk in authority, and to demonstrate Your kingdom on earth. Every opposition against my destiny is subdued by the greatness of Your power (Psalms 66:3). Lord, let the fire of the Holy Ghost burn in me, granting me supernatural wisdom, speed, and divine acceleration (1 Kings 18:46). From today, I walk in power, I move in power, and I manifest Your power in all that I do. Thank You, Father, for I receive it now by faith! In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

God shall deliver you!

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Psalm 34:19 KJV

I don’t know what you are going through, but I care to announce to you that God shall deliver you. To be righteous is to stand on God’s word. You cannot stand on God's word and be defeated (Matthew 7: 24-25). Jabesh was afflicted, but he turned to God, and God not only delivered him but also blessed him (1 Chronicles 4:9-10). Joseph was betrayed and sold into slavery, yet God lifted him from the pit of affliction to the palace of destiny (Acts 7:9-10). Your covenant position with God is stronger than that of Jabesh and Joseph. Whatever challenges you face, call upon the Lord, and He will answer you. His promises never fail, and His power to save is unquestionable.

Yes! Your covenant with God through Christ is even greater than that of Jabesh and Joseph. You are not just a servant; you are a child of God, an heir of the Father, and a joint heir with Christ (Romans 8:16-17). As this month ends, I prophesy over your life: no affliction will cross into the new month with you! Every burden, pain, and struggle will end today in Jesus’ name. Walk into February with victory, favor, and divine breakthroughs. The Lord has delivered you, and your testimony shall be undeniable. Amen!

Prophetic word: I prophesy into your life: Every bondage, limitation, and oppression over you is broken now in the name of Jesus! Just as the chains fell off Peter when the angel of the Lord appeared (Acts 12:7), every chain of affliction in your life is broken! The Lord is lifting you from the pit to the palace, from pain to purpose, and from sorrow to joy. This is your season of divine turnaround! You shall not end this month in affliction; you shall enter February in total victory, in Jesus’ mighty name!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You because You are the God who delivers. You never fail, and You never forsake Your own. Lord, according to Your word in Psalm 34:19, I declare that every affliction in my life must bow to Your power. Just as You delivered Daniel from the lion’s den, deliver me from every danger and oppression. Just as You delivered Paul and Silas from prison, break every chain and barrier in my life. Lord, arise and let every enemy of my destiny be scattered (Psalm 68:1). By the power of the Holy Spirit, I decree that no affliction will cross into my new month. Sickness, delay, disappointment, and stagnation are over in Jesus’ mighty name!

Covenant issues!

“Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.” 2 Samuel 21:1 KJV

Behind every stubborn and persistent problem, there is often a hidden covenant issue that must be addressed. In 2 Samuel 21, Israel suffered famine for three consecutive years until David sought the Lord, who revealed that it was due to Saul’s violation of a covenant with the Gibeonites. When you hear a committed Christian saying, with all the prayers that I am praying, this issue I am dealing with is refusing to go, or the enemy is still finding a way to get into my space, there is a covenant issue to be dealt with. These issues include unknown covenants (Exodus 4:23-26), evil dedication or unknown evil commitments (Joshua 9:11-23), conflicting covenants (1 Samuel 5), and covenant violation (2 Samuel 21:1-2, Joshua 7). If you are dealing with health issues or financial issues that were found in your parents and refused to go from you, pray against unknown covenants. If you are dealing with marital issues of any form, pray against unknown evil marital covenants. If you are dealing with persistent failure, stagnancy, and retrogression, pray against an unknown covenant.

The good news is that believers are under a new and superior covenant through the blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 8:6, 9:12-14). Christ has blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that are against us and triumphed over them (Colossians 2:14-15). Just as Gideon had to tear down his father’s altar before his destiny could manifest (Judges 6:25-27), believers must actively renounce any contrary covenants hindering their breakthrough. Whether it is a family pattern of sickness, delay, or failure, the power of the blood of Jesus is sufficient to break every evil dedication and establish divine freedom. With prayer, fasting, and faith in the finished work of Christ, every contrary covenant can be nullified, and God’s perfect will can manifest in our lives.

Prophetic word: I decree and declare over your life that every hidden covenant standing against your breakthrough is exposed and nullified in the name of Jesus! Just as David sought the Lord and received revelation concerning the famine in Israel (2 Samuel 21:1), may the Lord open your eyes to every unseen force resisting your progress. Every evil dedication, unknown agreement, or ancestral covenant working against your health, finances, marriage, or destiny is broken today by the power in the blood of Jesus (Colossians 2:14-15). Every curse of stagnation, delay, and affliction is reversed, and the new covenant in Christ speaks better things over you (Hebrews 12:24). The Lord is releasing you from spiritual bondage and ushering you into divine acceleration. You will testify, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36)!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You, acknowledging that You are a covenant-keeping God. By the power of the blood of Jesus, I renounce and break every unknown covenant, evil dedication, and ancestral limitation working against my life. Just as You revealed to David the root of Israel’s famine, expose every hidden agreement hindering my progress and destroy it completely. Let every altar speaking against my destiny be silenced by the blood of Jesus. I declare that I am no longer under any generational yoke but under the new covenant of life, abundance, and victory in Christ. Every spiritual legality the enemy is using against me is canceled. From today, I walk in divine freedom, favor, and breakthrough. Thank You, Lord, for my deliverance and victory. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

An enemy has done this!

“He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. …….” Matthew 13:28aKJV

The servants of the farm owner came and said unto him that they saw tares among the good seed, and they were wondering how tares got there. The owner recognized that it was the enemy at work. Jesus said in John 10:10 that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The enemy is a thief, a killer, and he is also a destroyer. The Bible also calls the enemy an accuser (Rev 12:10). The enemy is an attacker (1 Samuel 30:1). The enemy is also an arrester (1 Kings 13:4; Acts 12:1-3). The enemy is also called a scatterer (Nahum 2:1); when you find it difficult to gather, it is an enemy at work. When you see any of these signs, don’t just fold your arms; deal with the enemy. Rise in prayer and spiritual warfare to bind the strong man and take back what belongs to you (Matthew 12:29).

The good news is that the enemy’s works can be destroyed by the power of God. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and through His name, every knee must bow (Philippians 2:9-11). When David faced the destruction caused by the Amalekites, he sought the Lord and pursued his enemies, recovering all that was lost (1 Samuel 30:8, 18-19). Likewise, as this year begins to unfold, you must take authority in the name of Jesus and declare the enemy’s works defeated in every area of your life. Don’t dwell on past failures or challenges; instead, step into the new thing God is doing (Isaiah 43:18-19). Trust in God’s promises, confront the enemy in faith and experience the fullness of His plans for you in 2025.

Prophetic word: This is a season of restoration and new beginnings. I am doing a new thing in your life; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland (Isaiah 43:18-19). Every seed of confusion, delay, or destruction that the enemy has planted will be uprooted. You will recover all that has stolen from you, for I am the God who restores the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Walk in boldness and faith, for I have given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and overcome all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you (Luke 10:19). This is your year of divine acceleration, victory, and harvest. Trust Me, for I will perfect all that concerns you."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your word and the assurance of victory in Christ Jesus. Today, we stand on the authority of Your word and declare that every work of the enemy in our lives, families, and endeavors is destroyed in Jesus' name. We bind the strong man (Matthew 12:29) and declare that every seed of the enemy, every tare sown in the field of our lives, is uprooted and cast into the fire (Matthew 13:30). Lord, we declare restoration over every stolen blessing, time, and opportunity (Joel 2:25). We speak life to prevail over death and destruction (John 10:10). We call forth new opportunities, breakthroughs, and testimonies IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME.

Oh God, send a word!

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalm 107:20 KJV

The power of God's Word cannot be overstated. Every breakthrough, every miracle, and every deliverance begins with a Word from the Lord. When Joseph was in bondage, his release came the moment God’s Word was fulfilled in his life (Psalm 105:17-20). In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, the Word carries divine authority to change circumstances. In Acts 27, Paul, despite being in a raging storm, confidently declared deliverance because a Word from God had come to him, assuring safety for all aboard. Today, no matter the storm you are facing, I declare that God’s Word shall locate you and bring healing, direction, and deliverance in Jesus' name!

The Word of God is light in darkness (Psalm 119:105), a hammer that breaks the hardest of situations (Jeremiah 23:29), and living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). When Jesus spoke to Lazarus, dead and buried for four days, His Word carried resurrection power and called him out of the grave (John 11:43-44). In Ezekiel 37, the dry bones came alive and became an exceeding great army when God’s Word was spoken over them. Whatever seems dead or hopeless in your life will respond to the Word of the Lord. So, lift up your eyes in expectation, for a Word is coming to heal, restore, and deliver you. Trust in Him, for His Word never fails! (Isaiah 55:11). Amen!

Prophetic word: I decree and declare that the Word of the Lord is coming to you right now in the name of Jesus! Whatever bondage, delay, or destruction has held you captive shall break at the power of His Word. Just as Joseph's season changed when His Word came, I prophesy that your appointed Word is being released to shift your situation. The storms in your life will cease at the command of God’s Word, and like Paul, you will testify of divine intervention and preservation. I speak resurrection power over every dead area of your life—relationships, finances, health, or dreams—just as Lazarus was called forth by the Word of Jesus. Today, your dry bones are coming alive, and the Word of God will bring light, direction, and supernatural results into your life. Rejoice, for the Lord’s Word shall not return void concerning you (Isaiah 55:11)!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the power and authority of Your Word. Lord, we ask that You send a Word into our situations today. Speak healing to the sick, deliverance to the oppressed, and breakthrough to the captive. Just as You sent Your Word to heal and deliver in Psalm 107:20, we pray that Your Word will manifest in our lives. Let light shine in every dark place, and let hope arise in our hearts. Father, release a Word that will silence every storm, open every closed door, and revive every dead dream. We stand on the promise that Your Word will accomplish what You send it to do and prosper where You direct it. Thank You, Lord, for the victory and testimonies that will come because of Your Word. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen!

Positioning yourself for God’s help!

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 KJV

Positioning yourself for God’s help begins with a heart that seeks Him earnestly and trusts fully in His power and promises. As the psalmist declares, “My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:2). This declaration of faith reminds us to look beyond human abilities and earthly resources to the God who is sovereign over all creation. David, who faced lions, giants, and countless battles, understood this deeply. When he stood before Goliath, he didn’t rely on his own strength but declared, “The battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47). Similarly, Jehoshaphat, when confronted by a vast army, turned to God in prayer, confessing, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You” (2 Chronicles 20:12). God responded to their faith and humility by giving them victory without even lifting a sword. When you position yourself in surrender, trust, and obedience to God, you create room for His divine intervention.

To position yourself effectively for God’s help, align your heart and actions with His Word. Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to “come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Boldness in approaching God stems from faith in His promises and a clean conscience. Confess and repent of any sin, for “if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18). Forgive those who have wronged you, as Jesus instructs in Matthew 6:14-15, and reject doubt, knowing that “without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). Trust in God’s unchanging promise: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you” (Isaiah 41:10). Just as Peter stepped out in faith and walked on water when his eyes were fixed on Jesus (Matthew 14:28-29), fixing your eyes on God and His Word ensures you remain steady, regardless of the storm.

Prophetic word: The Lord is saying to you today: "Lift your eyes to Me, for I am your ever-present help in times of trouble. I will not let your foot slip, and I will guard your going out and your coming in. My help will not delay, and My power will sustain you. As I helped David defeat Goliath, Jehoshaphat conquer the enemy, and Peter walk on water, so shall I help you overcome every obstacle and challenge. Do not fear, for I am with you. Cast your cares upon Me, for I am the God who lifts burdens, strengthens the weary, and gives wisdom to the seeking heart. Position yourself in faith, obedience, and trust, and watch as I make a way where there seems to be no way. I will fight for you; stand still and see My salvation."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I lift my eyes to You, the source of my help and strength. Thank You for being the God who never fails, never slumbers, and never abandons Your children. I confess and repent of any sin that may hinder my prayers and release forgiveness to those who have hurt me. Lord, increase my faith and help me reject doubt and unbelief, knowing that Your promises are true. Strengthen me in the battles I face, and align my heart with Your will. Just as You were with David, Jehoshaphat, and Peter, be with me, O Lord. Fight my battles, guide my steps, and position me to walk in Your divine help. I declare that my help comes from You, the Maker of heaven and earth, and I trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Power of the spoken words!

“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” Job 22:28 KJV

The power of the spoken word is a divine principle established by God from the beginning of creation. In Genesis 1:3, God said, "Let there be light," and light came into existence. This demonstrates the creative authority of words when spoken in alignment with faith and divine will. As believers, we are encouraged to follow this example by decreeing things into existence, as Job 22:28 assures us that when we decree a thing, it shall be established, and light will shine upon our ways. David understood this power when he faced Goliath. Instead of succumbing to fear, he boldly declared victory in the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:45-47). Similarly, Jesus demonstrated the power of spoken words when He rebuked the storm, saying, "Peace, be still," and the wind and waves obeyed Him (Mark 4:39). These examples remind us that the spoken word, when wielded in faith, carries the power to create, calm, and conquer.

When faced with adversity, challenges, or even seemingly dead situations, the spoken word remains a powerful weapon. Jesus stood at Lazarus’ tomb and boldly commanded, "Lazarus, come forth," and the dead man came back to life (John 11:43). Paul reinforces this principle in 2 Corinthians 4:13, declaring, "I believed, and therefore I have spoken." Whether it is restoration, as seen in the story of the Shunammite woman reclaiming her land (2 Kings 8:1-6), or confronting spiritual battles, believers must speak with authority and conviction. Isaiah 42:22 laments a lack of restoration due to silence, highlighting the necessity of speaking to enforce God's promises. Boldness in speaking comes from spending time with Jesus, as the disciples did in Acts 4:13. When your words align with God’s will and are spoken in faith, no mountain, storm, or adversary can withstand them. Speak until you see the manifestation of God’s promises, for life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).

Prophetic word: The Lord is releasing fresh boldness and authority over your life to speak into situations with divine power. Just as God’s Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11), so shall your words accomplish what you declare (John 15:7; John 10:35). You will decree restoration where there has been loss, peace where there has been chaos, and life where there has been death. Speak My Word with faith, for I am hastening to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). Mountains will move, and the dry bones of your destiny will rise to life (Ezekiel 37:4-10). Let the words of your mouth align with My promises, and you will see My glory revealed in your life."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the power and authority You have given us through Your Word. Today, I declare that my words are filled with life, faith, and the authority of Jesus Christ. I speak to every mountain of difficulty and command it to move (Mark 11:23). I decree restoration over every area of loss in my life, declaring that what the enemy has stolen will be returned sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31). Lord, empower me with boldness to speak Your promises even in the face of opposition, knowing that Your Word is unchanging and faithful. I release peace over every storm and declare victory over every battle. Father, let my tongue be a vessel of Your creative power, bringing light into darkness and order into chaos. May Your Spirit fill my heart with faith, and may every word I speak be established for Your glory. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

World of Words!

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:1-3KJV

I wrote about the “Word you see” two days ago, emphasizing that the word you picture gives your world a reality. I want to say a bit more this morning. Your world depends significantly on the words you hear, read, speak, and act on. Words are information. Words are a revelation. Words are light. Words are food. Words are power. Words can heal and can kill. Words can bring a person down and can lift a person. Words can inform and can deform. If a man is doing evil, he has heard some words. If a man is changing lives, he also has heard a word. Words are blessings; words are curses. Words are prophecies. If you want to shape your world, you must choose your words. Words take on the personalities of the speaker. Read Ezekiel 37:7, Acts 26:14, and 2 Kings 7:1.

Sources of the words include your immediate family, the company you keep, the school you attend, the church you attend, the books you read, the television, radio, internet, phone, and others. You can choose the word in your life by controlling access to these sources. You control people’s access to your life, listening to or refusing to listen to them. Now, hear this: if your world is not what you expect it to be, you must check the word you are hearing, reading, speaking, and acting upon. May your world be filled with anointed words, words of blessing, instructions, directions, and revelation in Jesus' name. The greatest word you can hear for your destiny is a word from the Lord.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "I am aligning your life with My Word to bring forth a new season of clarity, purpose, and breakthrough. My Word is light in your darkness and strength in your weakness. As you incline your ear to My voice and speak My promises, I will bring restoration to the dry places and breathe life into the dreams you thought were dead. My Word will not return to Me void but will accomplish all that I send it to do in your life (Isaiah 55:11). Do not fear the noise of the world or the lies of the enemy, for I am speaking peace into your storm and direction into your confusion. You will see My Word fulfilled, for I am watching over it to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). Hold fast to what I have spoken, and I will establish you."

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for the power of Your Word that brings life, light, and transformation. Lord, we ask that You help us align our hearts and minds with Your truth, rejecting every word of fear, doubt, or deception that the enemy may sow. Speak into every area of our lives, Lord—our families, careers, ministries, and health—and let Your Word bring order where there has been chaos, healing where there has been pain, and hope where there has been despair. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

Unbelief is too costly!

“And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.” Mark 6:5-6 KJV

Unbelief is a spiritual barrier that can rob people of God’s blessings and miraculous works. In Mark 6:5- 6, the unbelief in the people of Nazareth restricted Jesus from performing mighty works in their midst. Their unbelief blinded them to His power and reduced their experience of His presence to mere routine rather than an encounter with the divine. Similarly, in Matthew 17:20, Jesus explained that the disciples’ inability to cast out a demon was due to their unbelief, emphasizing that it hinders us from achieving what we should. Unbelief is an iniquity; it hinders prayers (Psalms 66:18, James 1:5-8). If unbelief can hinder God and us, it is too costly and must be dealt with.

Dealing with unbelief requires intentional spiritual discipline. Faith, trust, and obedience are cures for unbelief. Jesus said if you have faith like a mustard seed, you overcome unbelief and do mighty works (Matthew 17:20). Romans 10:17 reminds us that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Regular meditation on the Scriptures strengthens our belief in God’s power and His promises. In Mark 9:24, the father of the demon-possessed boy cried out, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief,” showing the importance of prayer in overcoming unbelief. Fasting and prayer, as highlighted by Jesus in Matthew 17:21, are powerful tools for breaking the stronghold of unbelief in our hearts. Trust in God, even when circumstances seem bleak, demonstrates a faith that pleases Him. As Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” When you overcome unbelief, you will unlock the fullness of God’s work in your life.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "Do not let unbelief rob you of what I have already prepared for you. I have set before you open doors that no one can shut (Revelation 3:8), but you must step forward in faith. My power is not limited, but your doubt can hinder its manifestation in your life. Trust in Me and My Word, for My promises are sure and everlasting (Isaiah 55:11). As you believe, you will see My hand move mightily in your circumstances, and what seemed impossible will become a testimony of My glory. Do not allow fear or doubt to take root, for I am the God of the impossible (Luke 1:37). Believe, and you shall receive the fullness of My blessings."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the reminder that unbelief can hinder the mighty works You desire to do in our lives. We repent of every doubt, fear, and unbelief that has taken root in our hearts. Lord, we cry out like the father in Mark 9:24: "I believe; help my unbelief!" Strengthen our faith, O Lord, and fill us with confidence in Your promises. Let Your Word dwell richly in our hearts, building our faith day by day. Teach us to trust You completely, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. Help us to lean not on our own understanding but to acknowledge You in all our way. May Your Spirit empower us to walk boldly in faith, and may we see Your mighty hand at work in every area of our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

The Word you see!

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 KJV

The Word you see and embrace becomes the world you experience. Even for all believers in Christ, Jesus the Word of God, must become flesh in our lives for us to experience the fullness of God (John 1:14). Seeing the Word is the secret of a transformed life and supernatural faith (Genesis 30:37-39; Romans 12:2). The visions we draw from God's Word can reshape our lives. Habakkuk 2:1-2 shows us the power of seeing and writing down what God reveals, for clarity and faith that enable us to run with His vision. In Genesis 11:6, God acknowledged the unstoppable potential of people who can form a picture or imagine what God says to them. If you can see the Word, God promises to watch over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12).

Seeing the Word is more than intellectual understanding—it is a spiritual encounter that empowers and transforms. When Peter declared Jesus as the Christ in Matthew 16:16-19, it was a revelation that unlocked divine authority and the keys of the Kingdom. Revelation leads to transformation, for as John 1:12 says, those who receive the Word are given the power to become the sons of God. Let God's Word shape your imagination and fill your heart with His promises, for as Proverbs 23:7 declares, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." When you see Jesus as the Word made flesh and walk in this revelation, you will experience the fullness of grace, truth, and divine authority, unlocking the supernatural life He has destined for you.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "This is the season to see Me as I am—the Word made flesh, full of grace and truth. As you meditate on My Word, you will find strength, wisdom, and favor. I am releasing clarity and direction; write the vision, and it will come to pass. Do not fear or doubt, for I am watching over My Word to perform it in your life. The revelation you receive today will unlock doors that no man can shut. Walk boldly, for I have given you the keys to the Kingdom."

Prayer: Lord Jesus, as the Word made flesh, dwell richly in us. We receive the fullness of Your grace and truth, and we ask for a fresh revelation of Your power and purpose. Strengthen us to meditate on Your Word day and night, so that we may prosper in all we do. Let every barrier fall, and every promise come alive in our lives. Empower us with the authority of heaven to bind and loose according to Your will. We declare that no word You have spoken over us will fail. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Faith: the lifeline of saints!

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38 KJV

Faith is indeed the lifeline of the saints, as emphasized in the repeated declaration, "The just shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38). This powerful truth underscores that our spiritual vitality and journey with God hinge entirely on unwavering faith in His promises. Faith is not an optional attribute for believers but the very foundation of our existence. This was emphasized by Paul’s declaration in 2 Timothy 4:7 when he was about to leave the world, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Faith in God will deliver you in every situation. Someone said God never ends on the negative; all is well in the end, and if all is not well, it has not ended.

No matter the storms of life, faith must remain your lifeline. Faith also propels us to persevere and overcome challenges. Faith turns negative to positive. Remember, if it is not well, it has not ended. Refuse to shift ground; keep on believing God, keep on confessing His Word, and keep on praying. Let your faith anchor you to the assurance that all things work together for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28). As saints, let us hold firmly to faith, knowing that it is our divine lifeline and the key to a triumphant life in Christ.

Prophetic word: The Lord says to you today, “My child, hold fast to your faith, for it is your lifeline in the journey I have set before you. Do not waver in the face of adversity, for I am with you and will never leave nor forsake you. I accomplish My purpose in your life. Though the vision tarries, wait for it; it will surely come to pass (Habakkuk 2:3). Stand firm, declare My Word, and know that your faith is the key that unlocks the doors to your testimony. You will see My glory and testify of My goodness in the land of the living.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of faith, the lifeline that sustains and empowers us as Your children. Strengthen our hearts to trust You, even in the midst of trials. Let our faith grow like a mighty tree, deeply rooted in Your promises and unwavering in every storm. Lord, help us to stand firm and declare Your Word, knowing that You are faithful to fulfill what You have spoken. We declare that every area of our lives aligns with Your divine will, and we call forth breakthroughs, healing, and restoration in Jesus' name. Father, let our faith please You, and our testimony will bring glory to Your name. We trust that if You are involved, it will end well, for You work all things together for our good. We pray this with thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The life of Victory!

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 KJV

For those born of God, victory is not just a possibility—it is a certainty (1 John 5:4). Walking by faith aligns us with God’s promises, enabling us to conquer challenges and overcome every form of adversity. Jesus Himself reassures us, "In the world, ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 KJV). The moment you receive Christ and are born of the Spirit (John 3:5-6), you step into a life of victory empowered by His indwelling Spirit (Romans 8:1-14). This is a divine birth that transcends the natural, marking the beginning of an overcoming journey.

Through continued growth in the Word, faith is developed, making the life of victory a daily reality. The Apostle Paul reminds us that "the word of His grace...is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified" (Acts 20:32 KJV). Victory is guaranteed when we stay rooted in Christ, for "if God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31 KJV). Despite life's challenges, cling to your faith, for in Christ, you surpass all conquerors (Romans 8:37).

Prophetic word: I declare over your life today that you are stepping into a new season of unstoppable victory. The Spirit of the Lord says, “You are not defined by the battles you face but by the victory I have already secured for you through My Son.” As you walk in faith, every obstacle will become a stepping stone, and every trial will be turned into triumph. Fear not, for I am with you, says the Lord; My power is perfected in your weakness, and My glory shall shine through you. Walk boldly, for the victory that overcomes the world is within you—your faith is the key.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the victory You have given us through Jesus Christ. I declare that I am born of You, and therefore, I overcome the world. Strengthen my faith, Lord, that I may walk boldly in the victory You have secured for me. Let every challenge I face be turned into a testimony of Your greatness. Empower me to grow in grace through Your Word and to walk by Your Spirit daily. I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment is condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, I release Your peace, power, and presence over my life. May Your purpose be fulfilled in me as I step into the fullness of the victory You have promised. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Spirit-led life!

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8: 14KJV

Attaining a Spirit-led life is the hallmark of Christian maturity and a call to divine sonship. Romans 8:14 affirms that being led by the Spirit of God is the defining mark of the children of God. When you walk in step with the Spirit, you gain access to the fullness of God’s promises, as seen in Galatians 4:1-6, where Paul reminds us that as heirs, we receive the Spirit of adoption, crying out "Abba, Father." This alignment with the Spirit shields us from the schemes of the enemy (Ephesians 6:11) and produces life and peace (Romans 8:6). It requires intentionality, self-control (Proverbs 25:28), and an unwavering commitment to growing in the knowledge of God and obeying Him wholeheartedly (2 Corinthians 10:6). The Spirit-led life is not passive but demands the daily discipline of crucifying the flesh (Galatians 5:16, Colossians 3:5), for it is through this discipline that we exercise our authority and enjoy the benefits of our inheritance in Christ.

Biblical examples abound of individuals who lived Spirit-led lives and reaped the rewards. Consider David, who sought God’s guidance before every battle (1 Samuel 30:8) and prospered because he walked in obedience to the Spirit’s leading. Jesus Himself, the ultimate model of a Spirit-led life, was "led by the Spirit into the wilderness" (Luke 4:1) and emerged victorious over Satan’s temptations. The early apostles, too, lived by the Spirit’s direction; Philip was instructed by the Spirit to join the Ethiopian eunuch, leading to the gospel reaching new territories (Acts 8:29). A Spirit-led life requires a commitment to yield your will to God’s, allowing the Holy Spirit to direct your steps, just as Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. As you surrender daily, you will grow into the fullness of your sonship and walk in the victory, peace, and authority that God has ordained for you.

Prophetic word: The Spirit of the Lord declares, "I am calling you higher, to walk in the fullness of My Spirit and to experience the power of sonship. You are no longer bound by the limitations of the flesh, for My Spirit within you will guide, strengthen, and establish you. As you yield to Me, I will make known the path you should take. I will give you discernment against the enemy’s schemes, and I will be your peace in the midst of life’s storms. Fear not, for I am with you. As you walk by My Spirit, I will empower you to fulfill the purpose for which I created you. Nations will see My glory through your life, and My favor will surround you like a shield. Rise up, My child, and live as the heir you are, for My Spirit leads you into all truth and victory."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Spirit that leads and empowers us as Your children. I pray for a deeper sensitivity to Your voice and a heart fully surrendered to Your will. Teach me to walk in step with the Spirit, to crucify the desires of the flesh, and to grow in maturity as Your son (no gender in the Spirit). I ask for wisdom to discern Your guidance and the courage to obey, even when it is difficult. Fill my life with Your peace, purpose, and power. Lord, let Your Spirit break every chain of bondage and activate the fullness of my inheritance in Christ. May I be a light in this world, a vessel through whom Your glory is revealed. Lead me in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake, and may my life bring honor and praise to You. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Claim your portion daily!

“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11KJV

The Lord has set aside a daily portion for His children, and it is your privilege to claim it. Jesus taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," reminding us that God provides fresh provision each day—both physical and spiritual. Just as the Israelites gathered manna daily in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4), we are invited to receive God’s provision and Word for our lives. Jesus declared, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4 KJV). Each day carries its unique challenges, opportunities, and grace, and the Lord equips you with everything you need to overcome, rejoice, and fulfill His purpose (Lamentations 3:22-23). Acknowledge each day as a gift from the Lord (Psalm 118:24), and walk in His plan to redeem the day from evil (Ephesians 5:16).

Command your portion by engaging the spiritual disciplines of prayer and declaring God’s promises. Like Job, who declared, "Have you commanded the morning and caused the dawn to know its place?" (Job 38:12-13), take charge of your day through early morning prayers and decrees (Mark 1:35). Our Lord Jesus often prayed through the night, preparing for the new things God was birthing (Luke 6:12; Isaiah 66:7-8). Follow His example and do not leave any day to chance this year. Stand on God’s Word, use the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart (Ephesians 6:16), and wield the sword of the Spirit to establish His will (Ephesians 6:17). In this year of new things, seize each day as an opportunity to experience His goodness, walk in His victory, and claim your portion as a child of God.

Prophetic word: The Lord is saying to you, "This is your season to rise and take full possession of what I have prepared for you daily. Do not leave any blessing, insight, or opportunity unattended. I am the God who goes before you, making rough places smooth and releasing My provision and grace for each day (Isaiah 45:2-3). As you seek Me early, you will find treasures hidden in the day that you would have missed otherwise. Be bold to decree and declare My promises, for I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and nothing shall harm you (Luke 10:19). Command your morning, and you will see My light shine upon your path. This year, I am birthing new things in your life—things that will spring forth suddenly as you trust Me daily (Isaiah 43:19). Walk in faith and expectation, for I am your portion forever (Psalm 73:26)."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the daily portion You have set aside for me. I declare that today is the day You have made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Lord, I claim every blessing, provision, and Word You have spoken over my life for this day. I command the morning to align with Your will, shaking off every form of wickedness and darkness (Job 38:12-13). Let Your light shine on my path, and let Your favor surround me like a shield (Psalm 5:12). Father, I ask for the grace to seek You early and to walk in step with Your Spirit. I redeem my day from evil and decree that Your plans for me will prevail. Birth new things in my life, Lord, and let Your name be glorified in everything I do. I receive strength, wisdom, and joy for today and every day in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Have positive faith!

“But wisdom (faith) is justified of all her children.” Luke 7:35KJV (my paraphrase)

I have defined wisdom as faith in God’s word in the context of this message. When you doubt God’s word, it is a negative faith called foolishness. Everyone has faith; everyone also has doubts. When you have faith in the positive, you doubt the negative. According to our text, you can know the charge on your faith by the results it produces. No matter what you go through, have faith in God. This is the only way to change the negative situation into a positive one. Negative faith is easy, but positive faith is difficult. This is because positive faith doubts negative evidence and facts and insists on unseen positive situations (2 Cor 5:7). Positive faith becomes easy when you spend time with God and His word and with people of faith.  Positive faith does not give up until it sees the results (Luke 18:1–8).

Positive faith is rooted in trusting God's promises, even when circumstances seem contrary. Abraham exemplifies this in Romans 4:19–21. Despite his and Sarah's old age and physical inability to have children, Abraham did not waver in unbelief. Instead, he was "fully persuaded that God had the power to do what He had promised. Positive faith challenges what is seen and clings to the unseen promises of God (Hebrews 11:1). It turns the focus from earthly limitations to divine possibilities, enabling believers to declare victory in the face of challenges. Positive faith requires persistence, as seen in the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8. She refused to give up until she received justice. Likewise, faith in God’s Word silences doubts, strengthens resolve, and produces results, just as wisdom is justified by her children. No matter the storm, trust in God's unchanging Word, and He will bring His promises to pass (Isaiah 55:11).

Prophetic word: I declare over your life today that your faith will rise above every doubt and fear. The Lord says, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Whatever seems impossible in your life shall bow to the power of your faith in God. Like Abraham, you will not waver through unbelief, but you will grow strong, giving glory to God, because He who has promised is faithful to perform (Romans 4:20-21). The mountains before you will become a plain, for your faith will move them (Matthew 17:20). Step forward in boldness, knowing that God is turning every negative situation into a testimony of His power and goodness. Your faith will bear fruit, and the world will see that the Lord is with you!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of faith and for Your unfailing promises. Lord, we ask that You strengthen our faith, even in the midst of challenges. Help us to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). Holy Spirit, guide us into deeper communion with You, that we may grow in wisdom and understanding. We cast out every seed of doubt, fear, and unbelief, declaring that our trust is in You alone. Father, may Your Word produce results in our lives that glorify Your name. Empower us to walk by faith and not by sight, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have started in us. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, Amen

You are loaded!

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Psalm 139:14KJV

You are loaded because God has intricately designed you with purpose, power, and potential. You are not ordinary; you carry the divine breath of the Almighty, making you a reflection of His glory (Genesis 2:7). Just as Adam named all the animals in Genesis 2:19, exercising dominion as God intended, you too are called to rule and shape your environment. You are the work of God’s hands, His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), loaded with gifts, abilities, and spiritual authority. God is mindful of you (Psalm 8:4-5), crowning you with glory and honor. Walk boldly in this truth, knowing you are a vessel of His power.

Biblical examples of loaded individuals affirm that circumstances cannot diminish the greatness within you. David, though a shepherd boy, carried the anointing that defeated Goliath and eventually crowned him king (1 Samuel 17). Joseph, sold as a slave, rose to become Egypt’s prime minister because of the favor and wisdom of God within him (Genesis 41:41-44). Daniel, even in a foreign land and the lions' den, triumphed because of his unwavering faith in God (Daniel 6). You are born of God, and whatever is born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). Angels are commissioned to serve and protect you (Hebrews 1:14), and victory is your birthright. Remember, no matter what you face, you are destined to win. Rejoice in this truth, and let nothing shake your confidence in your divine identity!

Prophetic word: You are not ordinary; you are chosen, appointed, and empowered. Before I formed you, I knew you and set you apart for greatness” (Jeremiah 1:5). The challenges you face are not there to break you but to reveal the strength I have placed within you. Just as I was with Joseph in the prison, Daniel in the lions’ den, and David in the wilderness, so I am with you now. Fear not, for I have equipped you with everything you need to overcome and thrive. Angels are assigned to guard you, and My Spirit within you will guide you into all truth and victory (John 16:13). Your path is ordained for glory, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Rise up and walk in the fullness of who you are in Me, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made, a light in this world, and a carrier of My divine purpose. The nations will hear of what I do through you, and My name will be glorified.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the divine masterpiece You have created in me. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and Your works are marvelous. Lord, open my eyes to see myself as You see me – loaded with purpose, equipped with gifts, and empowered to overcome every challenge. Help me to walk in boldness and confidence, knowing that Your Spirit is within me and that Your angels are working on my behalf. Father, let every limitation and hindrance in my life bow to Your power. Grant me wisdom like Joseph, courage like David, and steadfast faith like Daniel. Teach me to remain anchored in Your Word and to shine as a light in this world. May I fulfill every assignment You have placed in my life, bringing glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Speak in new tongues!

 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” Mark 16:17 KJV

Believers are called to speak in new tongues as a manifestation of faith and a reflection of the transforming power of Christ. This gift is not limited to a heavenly language alone but extends to speaking words of life, hope, and faith that align with God's promises. Just as the prophets spoke life into dry bones in Ezekiel 37:1-14, believers declare God's power over seemingly hopeless situations. Speaking in new tongues means declaring abundance in times of lack, as Elisha did in 2 Kings 7:1 when he prophesied the end of a famine. It is also the bold proclamation of things unseen, as Paul describes in Romans 4:17, calling things that are not as though they were, believing in the fulfillment of God’s word.

The power of speaking in new tongues transforms not only circumstances but also the believer's mindset and spiritual reality. When we speak courage in the face of fear, as David did before Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-47), or declare victory before seeing it, as Jehoshaphat did through praise in 2 Chronicles 20:21-22, we engage in spiritual warfare and affirm our trust in God's sovereignty. Jesus Himself taught the power of speaking in faith in Mark 11:23, instructing believers to command mountains to move with unwavering belief. New tongues are not just a gift but a demonstration of a life renewed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. As believers, let us embrace this sign and declare God's promises boldly, bringing heaven's reality into every earthly situation.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "I have placed My Spirit within you, and My words in your mouth, to declare My purposes and manifest My glory. You will no longer speak the language of defeat, fear, or despair, but I am giving you a new tongue to speak My life, power, and victory. Just as I commanded light to shine out of darkness, so shall your words create new realities where none exist. Speak, My child, for I have empowered you to call forth those things that are not as though they were. As you declare My promises, you shall see breakthroughs, miracles, and wonders. Your words, fueled by My Spirit, will shift atmospheres, break chains, and open doors. Do not hold back, for I am with you, and I have given you the authority to speak life into every situation."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of new tongues and the power You have given me to declare life, victory, and abundance. I surrender my words to You, that they may align with Your will and release Your glory into my life and the lives of others. Lord, I ask for boldness to speak words of faith, hope, and transformation even when circumstances seem impossible. Teach me to call forth what You have promised and to stand firm on Your Word. Empower me by Your Spirit to speak healing where there is sickness, peace where there is turmoil, and joy where there is sorrow. I trust in Your promise that as I speak in faith, signs and wonders will follow. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen

Be bold!

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1 KJV

The boldness of the righteous is not rooted in human strength but in faith in God’s unchanging Word. This boldness is a hallmark of those who trust God, for they walk without fear, assured of His promises. David, though a young shepherd, stood boldly before Goliath, declaring, “The battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47). His confidence wasn’t in his sling or stones but in the Lord of hosts. Similarly, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego boldly stood against King Nebuchadnezzar’s decree, proclaiming, “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us” (Daniel 3:17). Their faith turned a fiery furnace into a platform for God’s glory.

Boldness is a sign of intimacy with Jesus. Peter and John, once ordinary fishermen, astonished the Sanhedrin with their courage, even in the face of threats, because “they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). This same Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), empowers us to roar with boldness in the face of adversity. Paul reminds us, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). As you trust in God, let the lion within you rise. Be bold in declaring His promises, stepping into new territories, and standing firm in righteousness. Boldness enables you to take hold of your divine inheritance, for “the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). May the boldness of the Lion of Judah prevail in your life, in Jesus’ name.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "Be strong and courageous, for I am with you wherever you go. I have equipped you with boldness like a lion, and no force can stand against you when you walk in My truth. The mountains before you shall become plains, and the doors that seemed closed will burst open as you step forward in faith. This is the season for you to roar with the authority I have given you. Do not shrink back; the enemy's roar is nothing compared to the sound of victory I have placed in your spirit. As you act in boldness, My power will be evident in your life, and you will see My hand prevail in every situation. Be fearless, for I am with you, and I have already given you the victory."

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for Your Word that reminds us of the boldness we have in Christ. We declare that we are as bold as lions, walking in the righteousness You have given us. Lord, we refuse to allow fear, intimidation, or the schemes of the enemy to silence our roar. Strengthen us to stand firm on Your promises, just as David stood before Goliath and as Peter and John proclaimed Your name fearlessly. Lord, release fresh courage upon us to take bold steps into the territories You have called us to possess. Let the Lion of Judah roar through us, breaking every chain, shattering every obstacle, and bringing glory to Your name. We pray for boldness to speak Your Word, live righteously, and advance forcefully in every area of our lives. Empower us to take new ground, declare Your will, and reveal Your glory. Thank You, Lord, for victory and for making us fearless. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Dealing wisely in life!

“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)

Divine wisdom, which is the highest form of wisdom, is brought into our lives through access to the written word and the Holy Spirit. If you know and have an understanding of the Holy Scripture, you cannot be a fool on earth. In Luke 24:45, Jesus opened the understanding of some disciples so that they could understand the scripture. Job 22 22-29 reveals the benefits of receiving instructions from Him and laying His word in our hearts. Joshua 1:8 reveals that we can deal wisely in all affairs of life if we have access to the mystery of His word. I don’t know what you seek in your life, wisdom through the word will deliver it into your hands (Luke 7:35).

The Holy Scriptures teach that wisdom is not just for intellectual pursuits but for practical living and eternal salvation. 2 Timothy 3:15 reminds us that the Scriptures make us "wise unto salvation," grounding our decisions in faith and eternal perspective. The Psalmist declares, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105), showing us the way to walk wisely in every situation. Jesus Himself is our ultimate example of wisdom; at age twelve, He astounded the teachers in the temple with His understanding of the Scriptures (Luke 2:46-47). Through His teachings, parables, and life, He modeled wisdom that is “pure, peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated” (James 3:17). As we meditate on His Word, seek His guidance in prayer, and allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate our hearts, we too can deal wisely in life, making choices that honor God and bless those around us.

Prophetic word: The Spirit of the Lord says, “I am releasing upon you the wisdom that flows from My throne, wisdom that will open doors no man can shut and provide solutions to life’s deepest challenges. As you meditate on My Word and yield to My Spirit, I will give you insight and understanding beyond human comprehension. Like Daniel, you will stand out among your peers because of the excellence of the wisdom I will place within you (Daniel 5:12). My Word will be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path, guiding you in all your ways. Fear not, for I will teach you and lead you in the way you should go (Psalm 32:8). Walk in My wisdom, and you shall prosper in every endeavor. This is the season where I will show Myself strong on your behalf, causing you to walk in victory and divine favor.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for making Your wisdom available through Your word and Spirit. Open our hearts and minds, Lord, as You did for the disciples, so that we may understand Your Scriptures and apply them in our daily lives (Luke 24:45). Grant us the wisdom of Joseph to manage resources, the insight of Daniel to discern mysteries, and the understanding of Solomon to lead with clarity and compassion. Lord, help us to meditate on Your Word day and night, as You commanded Joshua, so that we may deal wisely in all affairs of life (Joshua 1:8). Fill us with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that we may walk in Your ways and bring glory to Your name. Let Your wisdom guide our decisions, guard our hearts, and establish the works of our hands. Father, we declare that through Your wisdom, we shall rise above challenges, be solutions to the needs around us, and fulfill our divine purpose on earth. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Depend totally on God!

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30(KJV)

Dependence on God is the foundation of a fruitful and victorious life. Independence is not freedom; it is trouble. It means you become your own source. To depend on God is to be desperate for His presence and to trust and obey Him in all situations and for all things. Jesus, our perfect example, declared in John 5:30 that He could do nothing by Himself. This teaches us that even the Son of God leaned fully on the Father for all things. Similarly, in John 15:5, Jesus reminded us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. When we abide in Him, we draw from His strength, wisdom, and provision, just as branches draw sustenance from the vine. Dependence on God is not a weakness but a source of divine power and grace. David, the man after God’s own heart, understood this truth deeply, saying, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1). Trusting God as our source eliminates fear and anxiety, for He has promised to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).

The Bible is filled with examples of those who depended on God and saw His miraculous hand at work. When Moses was tasked with leading the Israelites through the wilderness, he boldly proclaimed, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here” (Exodus 33:15). He knew their success depended entirely on God’s presence. Likewise, Jehoshaphat, when faced with overwhelming enemies, cried out, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You” (2 Chronicles 20:12). God responded with victory, showing that He fights for those who trust Him. Psalms 125:1 assures us that those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. Let us, therefore, commit every aspect of our lives to Him—our health, finances, relationships, and decisions. Depend totally on God and let Him be the pillar that holds your life, for He is faithful and will never fail you.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "I am your source, your strength, and your guide. Fear not, for I am with you. I have gone ahead of you to level the mountains and make your paths straight. As you trust and depend on Me, I will release My favor, My provision, and My power into every area of your life. Do not lean on your understanding or the works of your hands, for I will do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). As you abide in Me, I will cause you to bear much fruit, and your life will become a testimony of My goodness. Be still and know that I am God, for I will be exalted in your life. You will not lack, for I am your Shepherd. You will not be moved, for I am your Rock. Trust in Me completely, and watch Me open the windows of heaven over you."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You, acknowledging that without You, we can do nothing. You are our source, our strength, and our ever-present help in times of need. We repent of any areas in our lives where we have relied on our own abilities and not on You. Teach us to trust You completely and to depend on Your wisdom, provision, and grace. Lord, just as Jesus did nothing without You, help us to seek Your will and Your presence in all that we do. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Draw near to God!

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:8(KJV)

God is the origin of new things. If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you, and new things cannot cease in your life. See various dimensions that He used in the scriptures to meet people’s needs and solve their problems. Satan and his agents cannot subdue a man who carries the presence of God. No matter what satan throws at you, draw closer to God, and you will always experience victory. God promised that you would find Him if you sought Him with your whole heart and you had new hope (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Moses experienced God's presence at the burning bush (Exodus 3:1–5), which marked the beginning of his assignment to deliver Israel. Hannah, in her brokenness, drew near to God in fervent prayer, and He gave her a son, Samuel, who became a great prophet (1 Samuel 1:10-20).

David, a man after God’s heart, defeated Goliath because he drew strength from God's presence (1 Samuel 17:45-50). Similarly, Joseph prospered in Egypt because God was with him, even in prison and through trials (Genesis 39:2-5, 21-23). Jesus Himself exemplified the power of drawing near to God, often withdrawing to pray and commune with the Father (Luke 5:16). When we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts, as James 4:8 commands, we create an atmosphere where God’s presence thrives. His nearness brings new dimensions of grace, breakthroughs, and the ability to overcome every opposition.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, "Draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you. In My presence is fullness of joy, and at My right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11). As you come closer to Me, I will reveal new things, open doors no man can shut, and make crooked paths straight. My plans for you are to prosper you and give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Do not fear, for as you seek Me, I will be found by you, and I will restore everything the enemy has stolen. I will cover you with My glory, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Walk boldly into My presence, for in Me, you will find strength, peace, and the answers to every challenge you face. I am the God who makes all things new, and I will do it for you."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the privilege of drawing near to You. Thank You for Your promise that as I come closer, You will meet me with open arms. Lord, cleanse my hands and purify my heart so that I may stand before You blameless and receive Your divine presence. I seek Your face with all my heart, trusting in Your unfailing love and plans for my life. Father, I ask for a fresh encounter with You today. Reveal Your glory to me, open my eyes to see new opportunities, and strengthen me to walk boldly in Your purpose. Let every obstacle in my path be removed, and let Your presence bring peace, joy, and restoration to every area of my life. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper because You are with me. Thank You, Lord, for the new things You are bringing into my life as I draw near to You. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen.

This year will be good for you!

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (KJV)

I have a message for someone this morning: This year will be good for you because God’s promises remain steadfast and true. No matter how the year may have started, remember that we serve a God who specializes in turning situations around for His glory and your good. The Word reminds us in Romans 8:28 that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Just as Joseph declared to his brothers in Genesis 50:20, what the enemy intended for harm, God used for good. Be encouraged, for the Lord will fight for you and turn every trial into a testimony, just as He did for Job, who, after enduring great tribulation, received a double portion of blessing in Job 42:10. Jesus came to destroy the works of the enemy (1 John 3:8) and has already secured your victory. Stand firm in the peace He has given you, knowing that He has overcome the world (John 16:33).

This year, expect God to do great and mighty things in your life. Just as He fulfilled His plans for Jeremiah and Israel in Jeremiah 29:11, declaring a future and a hope, He will bring His purposes to pass in your life. Trust in the Lord, for His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and His plans for you are good. Whether you face storms like the disciples in Mark 4:35-41 or challenges like the widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7, remember that God is your provider, protector, and peace. Lift your eyes to Him, for He is faithful to make streams in the wilderness and pathways in the desert (Isaiah 43:19). Declare boldly: This year will be good for me because I serve a good God who makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)! Hold fast to His Word, for in Him, you have victory and hope for a glorious future.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, “This year shall be a year of restoration and overflowing joy for you. I, the Lord, am turning every disappointment into divine appointments. Where the enemy has sown tares among the wheat, I will uproot and establish my blessings in abundance. Fear not, for I am with you, and I will go before you to make the crooked paths straight (Isaiah 45:2). You shall walk in peace and triumph, for I have overcome the world on your behalf (John 16:33). As you trust in Me, I will do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). I declare this is your season of divine breakthroughs, new opportunities, and answered prayers. Watch and see how I will turn mourning into dancing and replace ashes with beauty (Isaiah 61:3). My plans for you are good, and they will come to pass. Be strong and courageous, for I, the Lord your God, am faithful.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your faithfulness and the assurance of victory through Christ Jesus. I lift up this year before You and declare it will be filled with Your goodness, mercy, and divine favor. Lord, uproot every work of the enemy and replace it with Your peace and blessings. I pray for restoration in every area of life where there has been loss, and I ask for breakthroughs in ways only You can provide. Lord, let Your plans of hope and a future for us come to fulfillment (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen our faith to trust in Your timing and Your ways.

Father, let streams flow in the wilderness and rivers in the desert places of our lives (Isaiah 43:19). May every storm be stilled, every trial turned to testimony, and every season of waiting be crowned with abundant joy. We receive Your promises of peace, provision, and prosperity, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in us (Philippians 1:6). Thank You, Lord, for making this year good, for Your glory and our testimony. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
