GODLY-CONDUCT
Hebrews 13:2 (KJV)
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
In some of our daily interactions, we could be entertaining angels unaware. Therefore, as children of God, it is paramount that there is a stark contrast between your character and that of those who reside in the world.
The Bible states in 1 Peter 1:15, ‘But as he which hath called you is holy, so ye be holy in all manner of conversation.’ This scripture shows us we are expected to conduct ourselves in a godly manner in ALL manner of conversation. As you go about your day, whether in school, at university or at your job, conduct yourself in a Godly manner; you don’t always know who you’re interacting with!
Wherever we go, we must be an example, not just to non-Christians but also to Christians in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith and purity. Never allow your emotions and situations around you to change the way you carry yourself; in everything you do, be an example to your peers and a light in your community!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am God’s child; I conduct myself in a godly manner wherever I go. I live a set-apart life far beyond the systems of this world. This year, I will be an example for my peers, in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

GOD DOES NOT FORGET
Hebrews 6:10 (KJV)
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Whether you help set up chairs before a service or are a worship leader or preacher in your church, God never forgets your labour of love! Your work towards forwarding the Kingdom of God never goes unnoticed by the Lord Jesus and is greatly rewarded.
Is that not amazing how God never forgets all you have done for the Kingdom? The Bible tells us that those who seek first the Kingdom and righteousness, all things will be added unto them. Whilst salvation is a gift freely given and not by our works, Jesus has special rewards awaiting those who were dedicated and progressed His Kingdom.
Those who finance the spreading of the Gospel are also rewarded. The Bible tells us that those who give in secret, God shall reward them openly! As you continue to walk in your calling, know that your devotion and loyalty to the things of God never goes unnoticed, and you will be awarded milk and honey according to your works!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a soldier in God’s Kingdom. God has special rewards for my commitment to the Gospel. My devotion never goes unnoticed, and I will be rewarded publicly for all I’ve done in private, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!

POWER-PACKED JOY
Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Happiness is based on happenings, whereas joy is a decision every child of God has to make. Notice I said ‘decision’, not ‘feeling’. The Bible tells us to count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptations. This means joy is not dependent on circumstances but a choice.
A popular verse amongst preachers and congregation alike says, ‘Rejoice in the Lord always’ (Philippians 4:4). Many Christians do not realise the circumstances in which this passage was written. Paul was writing to the church of Philippi whilst in prison! Yet, despite the horrendous conditions he was subjected to, Paul could remain joyous through it all.
God has equipped all His children with the weapon of joy. The Bible says joy is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries the bones. This shows us that not choosing to be joyful has detrimental effects on your life. Today, choose to confuse the enemy by being joyful regardless of your situation!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
JOY IS MY WEAPON, and my level of joy confuses my enemies. I choose to be joyous no matter what happens around me today in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

I LIVE A WORRY-FREE LIFE
Matthew 6:27 (KJV)
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
In a world fast approaching its end, constantly bombarding us with terror on the news and all forms of mainstream media, it is easy to get distracted by exterior voices. Despite this, the verse says worry adds absolutely nothing to your life! As a Christian, tell yourself worrying is a baseless practice.
The Bible says that God provides for even the fowls of the air; what more YOU, His child! Refuse to let fear rule your life. The Word says let tomorrow worry for itself. This means every day has been allocated the responsibility of worrying, not you! We know as children of God, He has removed the burden of worry from our lives, and those who are weary and burdened have been given rest in the Father!
God gives each and every one of His children incomparable peace. Worry for us should be a strange concept that is impossible to comprehend! Deny worry at every turn, whether in your business, job or family life. Refuse to worry and allow your life to reflect God’s goodness!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I live a life of abundance! Money shall stampede through my business’ doors! I do not worry for ANYTHING. I live a WORRY-FREE, MILK and HONEY kind of life, in Jesus’ Mighty Name!

PUT THE WORD TO WORK
James 2:26 (KJV)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without works is dead also.
Our duty as Christians is to put the Word to work! Many Christians pride themselves in attending services and church programs regularly, yet their lives remain the same! While some could suggest the preacher is at fault, it is actually the polar opposite! Some people make the mistake of simply hearing the Word without actioning it.
The Bible is clear on the negative attributes of being a hearer of the Word only when it states in James 1:22, ‘Be doers of the word, not merely hearers who deceive themselves.’ This tells us that those who hear only live a life of deception!
Learn to apply the Word of God in every area of your life. Our rhema word for this year is milk and honey, so refuse to be like those who hear this word but do not action it. The bible says the Word is a tool to equip us for every good work.
The moment you start actioning the Word of God, you will experience exponential growth in all aspects of your life and be thoroughly furnished for EVERY good work!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a proof-producing Christian, not just a hearer of the Word but a doer also. As I hear the Word, I am being equipped for every good work. In the Mighty Name of Jesus!

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY
Luke 10:19 (KJV)
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
The verse above states that God gave His children authority over all power of the enemy, not some, not most, but ALL! This means as Christians, you have the power to declare life into any dead situation, whether it is crippling poverty or sickness – YOU have been given the power to overcome. As a child of God, it is important that you exercise this authority that was freely given to you the moment you accepted Christ into your life.
In the Bible, there are several instances we can cite that display the heroes of our faith being conscious of their spiritual authority. This is shown when Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:4, ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God.’
Despite the heavy persecution Paul faced throughout the writing of this particular book of the Bible, he maintained the consciousness of his authority in God! Regardless of the vicissitudes of life you are facing, choose to walk in the consciousness that God has given you power over the devil!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today I choose to be conscious of my Spiritual Authority in Christ. I have been given power to overcome any situation I may face. My victory is set in Jesus’ Name!

LIGHT COMPANIONS
2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
The Christian life is about eliminating demonic data and replacing it with holy spiritual data. In fact, the amount of light in you can be measured by how much darkness you have removed from around you. That is why in John 14:30 (AMP), He could boldly declare that the devil “has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]” How could He make such a bold claim? It is because He mastered the art of eliminating demonic data.
This is why you ought to be careful who you befriend. This is the admonition the Bible has given. Some people only enter your life to monitor and hinder your progress. They emit negative light that attracts demonic activity. Make the decision to live a designed life. Tell yourself I’m not going to do anything unless God is in it, unless it exalts God’s name, and is for my personal ministry for God. Choose to remove yourself from anyone who fellowships with the darkness you have decided to eliminate from your life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I choose to live a designed life, free of the influence of darkness. I decree and declare, every demonic data is removed from my life!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT!
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Invisible to our naked eyes are the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen, yet through a chemical reaction they become a visible substance called water. God set these invisible processes in motion at creation to respond continuously to His Word to form visible substances that add to our lives. He has done the same in the spiritual realm. Our spiritual genes hold the creative power to frame our personal world by the thoughts and words we think and speak, which are divine tools given for our creative use.
We are surrounded by spiritual “molecules” that are designed to respond to our thoughts and words, or more scripturally put, our faith, to produce miracles. Since the spirit realm is the causal realm, then your miracle is always in motion. When I say, the money is coming, the mere fact that I speak it, it means, the mechanism to have the money deliver to you has already been set in motion, it’s yours in Jesus’ Name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the creative power in my mouth. I provoke a reaction to create my miracle as I speak. I possess God’s divine nature and know I walk in divine authority in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

THE WEAPON OF PRAYER
Revelation 1:16 (KJV)
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
There’s a certain level of diplomatic immunity, a heavenly security that some Christians have realized, that they can say anything at any given time, and it happens. This privilege is not reserved for a select few in Christendom. You also have the capacity to do this through prayer. The secret of Christianity is in your mouth. Your mouth is not for eating.
As a matter of fact, the Greek rendering for ‘mouth’ is stoma, which means a knife you use to cut something down and into pieces. When you understand this, you will realize how dangerous your prayers are.
Prayer is an intercontinental ballistic missile you can use to destroy poverty, sickness, and any form of failure. Engage your mind as you are praying so that you are conscious of the weapon you are wielding.
As you pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus, begin to visualize yourself stabbing that sickness, stabbing failure, stabbing divorce, stabbing poverty! Use your stoma – your mouth – to cut down and cut out everything that tries to hinder your progress!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
God says I am rich; therefore, I will not die until I have possessed my milk and honey! No sickness will remove me from my prosperity. Nothing shall interrupt the peace of my mind, marriage, or any God-ordained relationship, in Jesus’ Mighty Name! Amen.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT GOD’S WAY
Proverbs 3:9 (AMP)
Honor the LORD with your wealth And with the first fruits of all your crops (income).
Wealth management refers to the strategic management of an individual's financial assets to help achieve their financial goals. The world has its own ways of manipulating this system, but we are not of this world. God has given us our own system to secure, increase and protect our finances, even before they arrive. The world's financial system involves saving, but in God's system, the way to unquestionable financial dominion is through giving.
Tithing is a vehicle in God's financial system that empowers you to prosper. Within this system, you have the ability to control and accelerate your profit by investing or giving, not based on what your bank balance or budget dictates, but based on what you expect as a return.
You have been given power to tithe based on what you expect to receive. Decide what you want your income to be, then make it your goal to begin tithing at or towards that level now. Never allow your bank balance to decide your giving potential. Instead, give according to your expected harvest, and you will see wonders in your finances.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I push my finances into the spiritual realm where the devourer cannot touch them. I am anointed to manage wealth. My finances are protected, and the money is coming to me like milk and honey in Jesus Name!

EXPOSE GOD’S PRODUCT
2 Corinthians 5:14 (KJV)
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
There is something about the mindset of a prostitute that every Christian ought to imitate. That may sound crazy, but I will explain. Have you ever noticed how a prostitute makes sure her product is always exposed so that every potential customer knows exactly what she is selling? She is compelled to do it because she recognizes the value of her product, and she understands that she is the best person to promote it.
She speaks with one goal in mind, and that is to promote her product. Despite the weather, come rain or thunder, she will be out there selling. Furthermore, if the corner she’s on is not attracting the customers she wants, she will find another corner.
Understand that God's greatest product is Jesus, and every Christian is His select salesperson. So, as a Christian, never hide God's Product. As you move around, let your Bible be seen. Don't hide it. Instead, display it proudly.
When you speak, let your conversation be a marketing tool that points others to Jesus. Adopt the mindset that come rain or shine, in all you do, you will promote Jesus no matter what!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a living, walking, talking advertisement for the greatest Product in the universe! I am the number one salesperson for the Product called Jesus, and I will never relent, in Jesus' Name! Amen.

THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT
Genesis 1:3 (KJV)
And God said, let there be light: and there was light.
Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon in physics that proves scientifically that sound produces energy that produces light. This is a technology created by God so that when He spoke, He emitted sound waves, and those sound waves created light. When He created you in His likeness, He gave you the same ability so that you also produce light when you speak. Understand that when you speak, you produce sound from what is inside you and then express or articulate it externally. The same is true in the spiritual realm.
The Bible says, “The entrance of Thy words giveth [shows or becomes] light!” So, for you to emit light externally, light must first enter you. The Scripture tells us that the entrance of God’s Word is what produces that light in you. In other words, in the realm of the Spirit, words are measured by light. We speak by emitting light. So, the amount of light you have is the amount of vocabulary you can speak in the Spirit in light. Build your light vocabulary daily by immersing yourself in the Word of God. As you speak know that everything about your life is changing into milk and honey!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My light is increasing, and by the potency of the Word in me, I release light into my health, finances, family, and change every negative circumstance around for my good!

POPULAR IN THE SPIRIT
Acts 19:15 (KJV)
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
When you imagine the spiritual realm, what do you see? The spiritual realm is a world, not just some air, as some might think. It’s a region and a zone where there is life, tangible objects and real experiences. It is more real than this physical world. When you get a grip and control of the spiritual realm, you can control everything in the dimension of the natural, for it is the spiritual that controls the natural. In other words, the natural is a product of the spiritual.
The demons knew Jesus and Paul. The sons of Sceva were so unpopular and so irrelevant in the spirit to the extent that even demons couldn’t recognize them. They were just some nobodies walking on the face of the earth. Their father was a church leader, but it still didn’t give them value in the spirit. It’s not about your connections but about you. Today, chose to become popular in the spirit by God’s Word and prayer.

GOD’S ENTOURAGE
Mark 16:15 (KJV)
And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Before a king arrives, he sends his entourage, which is his own protocol or advance team. The entourage signals the coming of the king before he even arrives. God assigned me and you to go preach the Gospel to every creature before the King comes because we are His own entourage. We are announcing the coming of the King of kings to all creatures.
Remember, the entourage is armed, skilled and equipped to handle the assignment. God is also equipping you with His Word and His provision for you to carry out the assignment. You might not be on the pulpit to preach, but whatever you do, you shall fulfil this special assignment. You are anointed and equipped to forerun the coming of the King of kings.

MEMBERS OF HIS BODY
Ephesians 5:30 (KJV)
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Our scripture for today says we are “members of His body,” which means we are body parts of Jesus Christ. When you see a Christian, you are seeing a body part of Jesus Christ. That’s why we need each other to make “the Body of Christ.”
That is also why when Saul persecuted the Church, God considered it as an attack upon Himself. It was taken as persecution against God Himself, not against the individual members of the Church.
Whenever God wants to move in this earthly realm, He uses you. He walks and talks through you. Whatsoever you touch, it’s not you touching it but God. If you are denied a deal, job, or visa, it’s not you but God denied, and God cannot be denied. He owns everything, and He has no limitations. Exercise authority over all the elements of this world, for you are a superior creature.

Exodus 9:26 (KJV)
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
When the Children of Israel were in Egypt, they stayed in their own area called the land of Goshen. It was a location separated by God Himself to the extent that when there was darkness in Egypt, there was light only in Goshen. Goshen was exempted from all the calamities that the Egyptians faced. God ensured that His own children would not experience the diseases and plagues of Egypt.
It is the nature of God to protect and supply His own. The systems of this world will not hold you because, in God, you are in your Goshen. When the world talks of depression, refuse to participate. You are supplied from above. Your house is a new Goshen, and you shall continue to see the mighty hand of God.

There is nothing little about the light of God in you. The Bible says the entrance of God’s Word brings light.

We are citizens of Mount Zion, not of this world, and in Mount Zion, there is no lack or need. You shall not lack any good thing in this life of milk and honey. Your Father, God, owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He shall continue to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.

SPIRITUAL RESIDENCES
2 Kings 6:17 (KJV)
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Suburbs are classified into three common classes: low density, middle density and high density. Low-income earners stay in high density, and the residences are very small compared to low-density. The same applies in the spiritual realm. We are not all in the same realm or class. That’s the main reason some miracles and encounters that we might have in the GoodNews World might sound strange somewhere else.
The servant of Elisha was in a different location than his own man of God. Where he was seeing imminent death, the man of God was seeing divine protection and life. As you read this word and commit yourself to prayer, you are shifting locations in the spirit. The light entering your spirit is relocating you right now.

Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

MONEY WITH A MISSION
Luke 8:2-3 (KJV)
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
The Gospel is absolutely free, but the means to bring it to the people is not free. It takes money to hire a stadium for a crusade, print devotionals – although we give them out freely – or buy PA systems to preach the Gospel to millions of people. This is the main reason why God wants to give you money, which is not just money but money with a mission. It’s money for His cause.
Money is coming to you as I prophesied, but remember, it’s not there to quench your personal desires but for God’s mission. It’s for God’s work to be forwarded. As you are reading this devotional, grace is available to make you rich, but bear in mind that the money is coming not only for you but also for God’s mission.

MASTER MONEY
Luke 16:13 (KJV)
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other, Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
There is only one thing in the Bible that God put himself on par with. Only one entity that God Himself confirmed that this one can give me perfect competition, and it’s not the devil but MONEY. Money is a master; it seeks to control and to be worshipped. When it sees you, it sees a subject to be controlled and dominated. According to scripture, God even called it a master, and He confirms that you cannot serve Him and money at the same time.
When you master the art of controlling money, you can easily serve God. How do you master money? Every time you give money to God or to His missions, you are telling money that there is a superior Master over you, thereby mastering money. Giving money is the only way to master money. Whatever ministry you might be a part of, never hesitate to give money, for it is the only way to master money, and more will come to you in different streams.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have financial dominance and mastery over money. I shall never be broke another day in my life and I shall enjoy milk and honey this year. My money is money with a mission. Hallelujah!

INTEGRITY OF THE WORD
Psalm 138:2 (KJV)
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
When you go for the Word, you will surely come back with a testimony. Our ministry is known mainly for the revelation of the Word more than anything. Even if we prophesy and operate in other spiritual gifts, we still emphasize the Word of God, which is a more sure word of prophecy. According to the above scripture, God even exalted His Word more than His name. In fact, He consults His Word before doing anything. That is why the Word of the Lord is a standard for everything happening on this earth.
Everything is a result of God‘s Word, and the more you dive deep into the Word in the Word of God, the more you will find solutions. Create time to read and listen to the Word of God, and you will surely come back with a testimony. Never shun the Word of God; it is a surer word of prophecy.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I go for the Word of God, which is a surer word of prophecy to my life, health and business. My life is an embodiment of God’s Word, and I live according to God’s divine will in the Name of Jesus.

GREAT DELIVERANCE
Psalm 119:130 (KJV)
The entrance of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.
The greatest form of deliverance is when your ignorance is confronted. When the Bible calls the devil the prince of darkness, it’s not what many people think. ‘Prince’ means ‘first,’ and darkness means ‘ignorance,’ so it literally means the first one to be ignorant. When he thought of making a coup in Heaven, he became number one on the list of the ignorant ones.
There are those areas that you have been ignorant about; those are the same places where the devil and his cohorts succeed the most. Let this Word of God shine in every area of your life. Pay attention to all the subjects where you were failing. The entrance of God’s Word will bring light, and you shall be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My mind is renewed by the Word of God. Christ in me is the hope of all glory. I am an embodiment of light, and success is surely mine.

PROTOCOL
Acts 9:3 (KJV)
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Prayer is a protocol or an usher that you send ahead of you to execute a task. To some, it might sound like just a bubbling of words, but prayer is a powerful tool to shape the future that you desire. Ananias was just a certain disciple, but his prayers condensed the atmosphere of Damascus to the extent that when Paul headed to Damascus, he was struck by lightning.
Though Ananias was just a certain disciple, his prayers were deployed in the atmosphere in order to trap all the threats to God’s mission. His prayers were on assignment, like protocol or ushers in the atmosphere.
Offer your prayers without ceasing, and every word that you declare shall be established. Speak milk and honey, that is, prosperity, longevity, health and promotion, and it shall be established in the Name of Jesus. Send your protocol to industries and all the unconquered territories. You are not weak if you can pray. Take this moment to assign your protocol, and victory is certain.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The future is mine, and nothing shall stop me from succeeding. My prayer is on assignment; it shall surely accomplish all its assignments in the Name of Jesus.

CODES OF THE SPIRIT
Matthew 8:27 (KJV)
But the men marveled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
My father, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, vindicated me when many criticized me for miracle money. It was beyond many people‘s comprehension to believe that money can rain both physical and soft cash in millions. As much as even Jesus did miracle money, which your own Bible termed “miracle tribute money,” many still do not believe that in this day and age, God is still in the business of making money appear. In our scripture above, they couldn’t understand what manner of a man Jesus was because he had codes to control seas and storms.
Pastor Chris said all those who were questioning miracle money did not understand “the codes.“ There are spiritual codes, brothers and sisters, that cause you to get into a realm of miracles that others are not experiencing. It’s like writing computer programs; we input all the lines of code, and miracles will happen.
Today you shall experience strange miracles in the Name of Jesus. This word, together with your prayers, shall launch you into a realm of supernatural codes which will result in miracles upon miracles!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I’m full of the Word, and my spirit is alert. I live in a different realm of power. Supernatural activities shall continue to happen in my life in the Name of Jesus.

THE DEFINITION OF FAITH
Joel 3:10 (KJV)
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
When reduced to its basic component, you will realize that faith is nothing more than an argument. The enemy will be trying to push you to his own way, and your duty is to resist the plan of the enemy. The Bible is clear that when you submit to God and resist the devil, he will flee.
Our scripture for today says let the weak say I’m strong. Note, the weak do not say I’m strong when they get the strength but whilst they are still weak. They know the facts say that they are weak, not rich, or sick, but they should choose to argue with those circumstances. Today, make an argument against all the plans of negative occurrences in your life. If your bank account is empty, just say, “The money is coming in the year of milk and honey“; and it shall be so. Don’t buy into any situation emanating from the enemy; make an argument in the Name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

WEAPONS OF WAR
1 Timothy 1:18 (KJV)
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Prophecy is not just a mere utterance of words that are divine but a release of weapons. Paul charged Timothy to use his own prophecies to fight a good warfare. He didn’t tell him to use his connections, CVs or any physical advantage, but prophecy. When a prophetic word is released upon you through a preached word, scripture, or one-on-one encounter, it is an arsenal given to you. You are already equipped by that word.
Dig deep into every positive word given to you and stand on that word to launch a battle against the enemy. If you were told that you shall be the deliverer of your family, then the enemy cannot stop you or stop your progress because you carry a generational assignment to deliver an entire family. Go out and conquer in all streams of your life. Nothing shall hinder you in the Name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

SPEAK!
Genesis 1:3 (KJV)
And God said; Let there be light; and there was light.
From Genesis to Revelation, God only did one thing: He spoke! Nothing physical, but His mouth created the earth, conquered walls and changed the course of many lives. Those things that look physical in your sight, if you search deeper, you will realize that He just spoke a word into being. That’s why God values the prophetic because the prophetic office only speaks.
When God saw darkness in the book of Genesis, He did not complain but spoke light into being. Today, use your mouth profitably by speaking into being anything that you desire. Is it money, a job, contracts, growth, or marriage? Just “SPEAK, and it shall be established.

RESIST THE ENEMY
James 4:7 (KJV)
Submit yourselves therefore to God Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The word devil is not just a name but a job description that describes someone who pounces and pounces until he pierces through. What the devil mastered is consistency in his quest to defeat you. He even left Jesus for a season after he tempted Him, which means he was coming back for another season. Though Jesus was God in the flesh, the enemy still had the audacity to pounce and pounce on Him.
When you feed yourself with the Word and put a premium on the words you speak, pray in the Holy Ghost. You will build resistance against the enemy. You will create stamina against all the arrows of the enemy and the reality of milk and honey will be yours. Take time to go for the Word, praying in the Holy Ghost, and you will surely come back with a testimony. You will live a life of sure victory over the enemy.

Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Our scripture is clear that to all those who came before John, there was no one greater than him. It might be Isaiah, Joshua or anyone that you might think of; there is no one who was graced like John. He was operating at his own unique level of grace and power. Surprisingly, Jesus went on to say that even the least amongst the born-again Christians is greater than John.
Brothers and sisters, John did wonders, but we can do wonders without number. Go out with this confidence that you are a five-star general of God, and you can shift things in your life. Speak words and prophesy into the atmosphere, and your environment shall yield to your word.

PALM TREE OF LEBANON
Psalms 92:12-13 (KJV)
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Lebanon is very harsh when it comes to its climatic conditions. Sometimes harsh, stormy winds will sweep through the breadth of the country causing mass damage to structures and trees. Many will wonder what happens to the palm tree of Lebanon that causes even the psalmist to liken the righteous to the palm tree of Lebanon.
When the winds blow, the palm tree of Lebanon will just bend and come back to its position. It bends not because it’s weak but because it’s flexible. Christ made you God’s righteous one and the righteous ones are like the palm tree of Lebanon. Whether they speak or write evil about you, you will simply bend and come back to your position. You shall not be shaken or uprooted by anything. You are strong and flexible like the palm tree of Lebanon, and your foundation is stronger than the pressure of life.

SET A PREMIUM ON YOUR WORDS
Job 22:28 (KJV)
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
Every word that proceeds from your mouth is working and waiting to be fulfilled. That’s why it’s vital to put a standard to the words that you utter from your lips. Remember, the Bible even says death and life lie in the power of your tongue. It didn’t refer to some sickness or failure of medical practitioners but your own words. Set a premium on the words you speak.
The moment you say “things are hard,” that word is waiting to make everything hard for you. It will wait until it’s fulfilled. The only way to cancel negative words is by speaking positively. Speak positive words into the atmosphere, and you shall live according to the same words you speak.
This is a new day; your language is only there to build, not to destroy. Even if the pressures of life press you, maintain your positive language. You are the blessed one of the Most High, and no poverty or sickness shall come closer to your tent in the Name of Jesus.

ENCOUNTER
Acts 9:3 (KJV)
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.
Life is a product of encounters, either divine or demonic. Spiritual encounters come in the form of God directly talking to you, a person meeting you, or any form of significant occurrence. Apostle Paul had his own encounter on the way to Damascus. He was struck by a strange light, which later resulted in him being the greatest apostle of all time to the extent that even Peter was bamboozled by some of his text. A text message from Paul was considered scripture because of his own encounter.
As you are reading this devotional today, it might be your own encounter to change generations and the course of history in your family. Your encounter might be a person that you are meeting today. Use every positive encounter to declare your victory over the enemy. You have an encounter through this word, and you shall surely go out and make tangible impact.

YOU HAVE A BLANK CHECK
1 Kings 3:5 (KJV)
In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
Have you ever experienced the thrill of a "blank check" moment? I have, in my own way. When I attended boarding school, we had a system where we received upkeep cash through registered mail. While it was amazing to receive that extra money, the downside was we were limited to a set amount.
One day my brother came to visit and gave me his bank card. I asked how much I could take, and he said, ‘as much as you want’. Immediately, I realised the limitation of the registered mail.
Now the Lord gives you a blank check better than any bank card. He said ask ‘whatsoever you want’ and I’ll give it to you; there are absolutely no limits. God's Word in your mouth is a personal check from God. Being the last day of the year, all you must do is fill in your name and write out your request on God’s blank check so that this coming year will be the easiest yet.
Maybe all you want is to be used by God. You surviving this year means you have a purpose in the new year. Ask anything. Just one little piece of advice before you fill yours out and send it in: let it be for something with a God purpose. Happy New Year!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I fill my check with endless possibilities. My 2024 shall be nothing but the best in Jesus’ Name!

DIVINE HEALTH
3 John 1:2 (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
The devil has no new tricks to use against God's people; he repeats what he's used in times past. One area he likes to take advantage of is your health. He'll keep telling you God is humbling you by making you sick or that healing is difficult. Those are lies and tricks of the devil! It’s God’s will and desire for you to be healthy and strong, so agree with that and live it.
Don’t wait for the doctor to give you a bad report before you start “trying” to meditate on the Word. Meditate on the Word ahead of the evil day. Remember, God’s Word is medicine. Take that medicine daily, agree with it, act on it, and it will keep you in sound health. Never be caught saying some sicknesses are normal. There's no such thing! Just because others are going through it doesn't make it ok. The Lord Jesus Christ took sickness and disease away from you and made divine health and divine healing available to you. This is God's wish above all things! It's your right to have good health. Don't cross over into a new year with infirmity in your body!

My health is sound. I am made healthy and strong by the Holy Spirit in me. Divine health is my birth right, hallelujah!

2 Chronicles 20:17 (KJV)
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
Do you see how God told His people to approach the war they were facing? He was so definite and sure. If you read the chapter in context, you will realise that God gave them a battle strategy, which was placing singers on the frontline praising God. Not a single sword was drawn, yet the battle was a resounding win.
How do you face challenges as a Christian? Do you cower somewhere in a corner and hope you won't die, or do you stand firm, singing praises to God and declaring victory? The choice is yours. You have been given the life-giving Word of God, and that makes you undefeated. It makes no difference what you face today; face it with a heart full of praise. Worship the Lord and give Him thanks. All challenges have been overcome.
Remember, we read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation; we know how this ends – we win! It's victory all the way, brothers and sisters!

THE HEAVENS ARE OPEN
Isaiah 45:8 (KJV)
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
The idea that the Heavens are never closed is a deep concept for Christians to grasp. Prophet Isaiah saw it and exclaimed, "drip down, oh Heavens," and immediately saw the connection between the Heavens and the Earth opening up together to bring forth salvation.
As a child of God, the Heavens are always open. They don't need to be opened again, and there is no need to pray for it to be opened over you. All things are set, and the salvation you received is bearing fruit in your business, in your relationships, in your intimacy with God, in your day-to-day life, family, work, and everything you do.
The words of the prophet above are sharp. He says DRIP DOWN which indicates the dripping of honey, that is, the falling of blessings at a consistent pace. You are now set for DRIPPING DOWN of fruit-bearing abilities in Jesus’ Name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Heavens are constantly open to me! Blessings upon blessings shall continue to drip down like honey now and in the new year!

CREATURES OF PRAYER
CREATURES OF PRAYER
John 16:23-24 (KJV)
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
So, this is the thing, God never asks us to pray for something He didn't plan to give us. He tells us to pray because He plans to answer. A lot of people don't know this, so they end up frustrated when it seems their prayers are not working. If only you knew that God delights in answering your prayers. He loves to see you flourish and do well in all areas of your life. He said in the verse above that He wants your joy to be FULL. Hallelujah!
Prayer is our way of effecting changes in our world. The Prophets of old prayed, the Apostles of old prayed, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself prayed and taught us to pray. As we draw closer to the year's end, make deliberate efforts to pray more. This is God's way of relating with us, so if you don't pray, you simply have no relationship with Him. We are creatures of prayer, and prayer is the standard of our lives!

I live a triumphant life, a life full of extraordinary results because I am a creature of prayer. Glory!

BRAND NEW YOU
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old Things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
I always say your self-portrait determines the number of miracles you experience in your life. Many Christians look at themselves in the mirror, and all they see is a sinner. As long as you see that, you make today’s scripture void. Don’t see yourself as a “sinner” who’s struggling to please God; it’ll make you ineffective in your Christian walk. Rather, have the consciousness that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ.
You see, His life and nature in you give you the power to live above sin. The new you is fashioned to yield to the dominion of the Word and, as a result, produce fruits and works of righteousness. We've been washed, separated from sin unto God and declared righteous in the Name of the Lord, and by the Spirit of our God!
Next time you look in that mirror, recognise the new you and live accordingly. The old you died when you gave your all to God. Study the Word more, for it mirrors and describes the real you; it shows your true glory in Christ.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Every residue of my old life doesn't exist anymore. I'm a light in a dark world, and I shall make impact that causes souls to be ushered into the Kingdom of God!

Colossians 2:9 (KJV)
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Christmas is all about Christ in you. Today the whole world celebrates the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; but, sadly, many don't really understand the spiritual impact of it. The plan for Christmas was so He would live in us and through us. If Christ is not in you, then all you have is a story. By receiving The Lord Jesus into your heart, you begin to experience that story. It becomes a reality in you.
Everything Jesus came to accomplish was so it would be possible for man to become God’s living tabernacle. This was God’s plan all along, and He achieved it in the birth, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Rejoice today, the fullness of the Godhead tabernacles in you. Glory be to God! This is the reason Jesus came—to make you one with God—to make you more than a conqueror! Have this consciousness as you celebrate Christmas and share the best gift of salvation with someone today.
Merry Christmas!

EXPRESS GOD’S LOVE
1 John 4:7-8 (KJV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Love in this modern age has been watered down to such an extent that most people don't know what true love is. Understand that expressing love to others is not about what you stand to gain. It's about your love for God and your desire to do His will. So, even when it isn't convenient, or when someone is 'unlovable,' you have to walk in love. If those you love hate you back, continue to love them anyway.
The proof that you love God is walking in love. Today's scripture says if you don't practice love, then you simply don't know God. You cannot call yourself a Christian. Even if you're the most revered person in your church, if you cannot love people no matter who they are, you're not of God because God is love. Look around you this festive season. Help those around you. Make someone’s life better. This is what you were called to do. Make that call, buy groceries and send them. Find opportunities to express God’s love today.

I am a channel of God’s love. What a joy it is to demonstrate His love. Many shall come to know Him through me, in Jesus’ Name!

FAITH REACTION
Luke 1:38 (KJV)
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
When the angel of the Lord brought Mary the message of Christmas from God, that she would give birth to the Saviour, Jesus Christ, what a faith reaction she demonstrated! She said, "be it unto me according to Thy word." She simply trusted the message she was given, believed it, and spoke in agreement with it. When God's Word comes to you, it comes with the power to produce in you the message it bears. If He said prosperity is yours, that statement carries the power to produce that prosperity. All you need to do is respond accordingly.
His Word never comes empty. You must receive it in faith and respond accordingly; that way, it works. Your faith reaction to everything makes the Word of God effective in your life. He never gave us His word so we could learn it; He gave it so we could respond to it. It's like a game of tennis; you serve the ball, and someone on the other side of the net must return it. God has served the Word. Return it to Him by speaking it in faith. It'll change your life forever!

FULLY HIM!
Colossians 2:9 (KJV)
For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
When the Lord Jesus Christ came to Earth, He was the Word made flesh. He is called the Son of God because He was God in flesh. As He walked the dusty Earth as a man, He was filled with God, which means we too can be filled with God. If Jesus was filled with God and anointed without measure, we being sent of God also have been anointed without measure, because Jesus said, "as my Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (John 20:21).
The verse for today says He had 'the fullness' of the Godhead bodily, and if we are joint heirs with Him (which we are), that means the same Godhead dwells in us bodily as it did with the Lord Jesus. Oh hallelujah! Do you see who you truly are? You are anointed without limits. There is nothing you cannot do today. You’re up for whatever the task.
Rejoice for the fullness of God dwells in you! An extraordinary being is about to have a most fulfilling weekend! Be blessed!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The fullness of God lives in me. I am invincible, untouchable by any negativity, and anointed without limits. Bring on the day; I have already won!

UNSHAKEABLE FAITH
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you read from Genesis 11:1, you're introduced to a unique faith demonstrated by Abraham. He was told by God to leave the comfort of his father's house, the familiar faces in his community and country, to go to a place he had no idea where. We know he did just that without an argument ensuing.
You see, faith requires that you proceed solely on the basis of God’s Word. When He tells you to do something, you go ahead and do it without asking Him how. There should never be a debate when it comes to His commands. This was how Abraham qualified to become the heir of the world and earned the title: "the Father of Faith." God willed the whole world to him because he had the right faith mentality. He must have considered that the whole world belonged to God anyway, so it didn't matter where God said to go; He would be there to bless Him ten times over!
As a seed of Abraham, have faith like he did. Be bold and unshakeable. Consistently do what the Word says, irrespective of contrary circumstances, and you'll experience Heaven on Earth all the days of your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall continue to experience ever-increasing grace in my life as I act on God's Word by faith! I am a success 24/7, hallelujah!

FIRMLY ROOTED
Luke 6:47-48 (KJV)
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
I've seen many people get confused when brethren fall by the wayside or the lives of once mighty saints ebb into oblivion. One important thing you need to understand is preaching the Word and living the Word are two different things. You might be the most prized evangelist in your church branch, teaching others about the Lord Jesus daily, yet the Word doesn't work in your life. That's because living the Word is what counts more than just knowledge of it.
The verse says whoever comes to Me, hears My word, and actually does the Word, can never fail no matter the challenge. You may be going through your toughest season yet, but trust the Word in you. Knowing the Lord and what he said won’t cut it; living it will! When you do, you cannot be shaken. You are firmly established upon a rock that is the Word of God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am firmly rooted in the Word of God. As I live the Word, I walk in righteousness, health, prosperity and victory. Hallelujah!

BENEFIT FROM YOUR INHERITANCE
1 Corinthians 2:12 (KJV)
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
As God's children, there are blessings that have been afforded us by our Father. However, there’s no way you can apply the blessings of God to your life if you don’t know the Word. Through His Word, you discover your inheritance, but it’s not just knowing about your inheritance. Let me explain.
It’s one thing to discover your inheritance through the Word; it's another thing to enjoy it, and that's where the Holy Spirit comes in. Today's verse tells us that He helps us know our divine benefits, things that have been given to us freely by God. Imagine living a hand-to-mouth life, ridden with sickness and lack of peace, only to discover when you get to Heaven, by way of rapture, that there was a simple solution to all those problems - fellowship with the Spirit. He teaches us to speak what we know. That’s the key to enjoying your inheritance. Saying what God says about you and acknowledging what He has given you makes it real.
Speak forth! Once you do, great things begin to manifest in your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I speak peace, divine healing and health, prosperity, a life of glory and excellence are all my NOW possessions, in Jesus’ Name!

YOU ARE NO ORDINARY BEING
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
Take a closer look at our opening verse. You will notice that the verse doesn't say, "You're going to be ...." No! Understand the difference between when God is giving us a promise and when He's making a statement of fact. Here, He is stating facts! He said YOU ARE a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, right here, right now. It doesn't make a difference whether you feel that way or not.
Never submit that you’re nothing. Never say you’re not special. Never say you’re just an ordinary human because, according to today's verse, you're quite the opposite of ordinary, hallelujah! Adopt the winning mentality knowing full well you’re extraordinary! Boldly display and demonstrate the virtues, excellences, and perfections of Christ; that’s what royalty does!
So today, square your shoulders. Step into the day and week knowing your full identity. You are out of the dark, and God's marvellous light in you shines so bright for all to see! You're special! Success is yours today!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I’m an indestructible breed, born of God! I am not subject to sickness, defeat or failure. I'm an absolute success and victor in life in Jesus' Mighty Name!

I AM STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE
Joshua 1:6 (KJV)
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
As a Christian, never find yourself in discouragement. Never wear a sad face, criticising yourself for what you might have done wrong or crying over what others might have said or done against you. That is not the mentality God gave us! We have the mindset of victors! A victor knows they win no matter what.
The scripture above gives us insight into how we are to face daily challenges. It doesn’t matter how seemingly powerful the challenge, or your adversaries are, "Be strong and of a good courage." discouragement is not for a child of God. We are to be strong and of good courage at all times – not when we feel like it, but at ALL times.
This is a requirement, brothers and sisters; it's something that God demands of you. He demanded it of Joshua as he started out in ministry, and He demands it of us all today. Take dominion over detractors, don't be afraid. You carry Christ in you! He’s your song, your victory and your salvation!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a victor! Who or what can stand against me? I'm vibrant, courageous and strong. I win today and always because Christ is in me. Hallelujah!

A DAY OF CELEBRATION
1 Chronicles 16:29 (KJV)
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
As The Year of Heaven On Earth draws to a glorious end, it’s important that we take time to thank God for His mighty blessings in our lives. Make today a special day of rejoicing, expressing profuse gratitude to the Lord for His blessings throughout 2023.
Have a celebration session alone or with your family. Make it an entire day of celebration, because you’re grateful for all that Christ is to you; you acknowledge and appreciate His grace at work in you.
Refuse to spend time thinking about some unattained goals or “disappointments” you may have experienced in the year. Rather, celebrate Jesus, trusting that He’s already perfected all that concerns you. Celebrate His Word that’s working mightily in you. Celebrate the prosperity, health, peace, joy, victories and life of glory that God has given you this year. Some of you may not be where you thought you’d be by now, but still thank God for life itself, which is a precious gift. Spend time in prayer and worship; give Him an offering. Our God is a good, good God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Thank You, precious Father, for my life! Thank You for decorating my life with Your glory. I celebrate You today and forevermore!

AN ETERNAL GIFT
2 Corinthians 5:18 (KJV)
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
The Bible says in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." This is a summary of Jesus' mission on Earth. Shortly before He ascended, He commissioned the Church to preach the Gospel to all men that they might receive eternal life. This is the ministry of reconciliation, which He has entrusted us with. Every Christian has a ministry to fulfil in soul winning. We’re called to turn men to righteousness; to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.
I always say you are all missionaries that have been commissioned to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to your world and beyond. The rapture is imminent, and we're His partners in soul winning and world evangelism. Don't tire when it comes to soul winning and evangelism. This Christmas season is a perfect opportunity for you to help someone receive salvation, as that's the most precious gift you could give to anyone who’s not yet born again.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My words are anointed of the Spirit to bring salvation to the unsaved and impart to them the blessings of the Good News of Jesus Christ! Many shall receive this precious eternal gift through me in Jesus’ Name!

GIVING
Genesis 8:22 (KJV)
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Many Christians are not as excited to give as they are to receive, yet one of the most profound principles in the Word of God that guarantees continuous increase in finances is the principle of giving. We also learn from the Lord Jesus Christ who said it’s more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). So the promised blessing isn’t to the receiver but to the giver.
Your giving to the Lord connects you and everything that concerns you, with blessings that aren’t only for today, but for tomorrow and for all time. The scripture above in Genesis gives an assurance that as sure as you see seasons change, as you see the guarantee of night and day, so it is with giving and receiving. You cannot be a serial giver and live in abject poverty. It's impossible!
Each time you have the opportunity to give, be excited. Our lives as Christians should depict the character of our heavenly Father, who gave His precious Son, Jesus, for our salvation. This is why we celebrate this festive season – it’s all about giving!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am blessed to be a giver. My storehouses shall continue to overflow because of my seeding, and my family shall never lack. Hallelujah!

YOU CAN DO IT!
Philippians 4:13 (KJV)
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I’d like you to look at the scripture again and notice that Paul didn't say, "I can do all things, because I'm so smart, or because I have the right connections, or I have the right qualifications," no. It's not about you; it's about Christ in you and His ministry in and through you.
The more you catch this, the more it becomes your mindset, your way of life, and the abilities of Christ are seen more and more in you. Suddenly you qualify to be in places you wouldn't normally qualify to be in. You discover wonderful talents you never thought you had, or start doing things you never knew you could do for the Kingdom and in the world. Never confess inability, for you’re able to do all things. Never see yourself as weak. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing, dwells in you in His fullness. Nothing shall be impossible for you today. You're up for any task!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Christ lives in me; therefore, I'm loaded with limitless potential and possibilities. What I set out to do today shall be nothing but successful in Jesus’ Name!

WHAT ARE YOUR CONTENTS?
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God,
Do you know that your mind is unlimited in its potential to create whatever you desire, that with the same mind you can recreate your world, and you can chart the course of your life just by using your mind the right way? When you put your mind-power to work, the possibilities are endless. You can be anything, succeed in any field or industry and grow to higher heights spiritually. There are no restrictions to what you can achieve.
Our theme scripture is clear on how to live an efficient and enjoyable life; it’s by renewing your mind with the Word of God. Some Christians have prayed continually for their lives to change, yet the simple answer lies in this: who you are today is a direct result of how your mind works.Think of it as the manufacturing plant of all things you. By using the right raw materials (God’s Word), whatever you produce is perfect every time. Grab your Bible and get started on your contents. It'll change your life forever!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My mind is a perfect instrument for a complete transformation of my life. So I use it to chart the course of my day today. It shall be a fruitful and successful day in Jesus' Name!

STUCK TO THE BEST
STUCK TO THE BEST
Proverbs 18:24 (KJV)
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
It’s very possible for trusted friends and loved ones to disappoint you just when you need them the most. I’m sure everyone reading this today has experienced this in various degrees. However, there is only one Person you can count on, whatever the season. He never fails, He never disappoints, and He never shows up only when it's convenient for Him. He's there always, and that is The Lord Jesus Christ. The day you gave your life to Him and committed to a relationship with Him is the day He became fully invested in your day-to-day life through the Holy Spirit in you. Talk about being close! Hallelujah!
As you start this fresh week, talk to Him. Let Him guide you; let His wisdom flow through you. The scripture says He sticks closer than a brother, and the expression ‘sticks closer’ means to stick like an adhesive. He is not going anywhere, brothers and sisters! You have a dear Friend who has promised to be with you even to the end of the world, and He doesn’t break His promises. Rejoice you’re stuck to the best!

Glory, hallelujah, my God is in me, my best Friend, the only one I can fully count on! My world is transformed forever. I shall not run but fly in all my endeavours today in Jesus' Name!

BUBBLING JOY
Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Today’s verse is a perfect reminder that the presence of God in your spirit brings indescribable joy to your life. We’re talking about the kind of Joy that no one can explain; joy that even shocks you as to how you’re calm and collected in the midst of a dark world.
You see, the good thing about joy is that it never moves alone. When it comes into your spirit, it brings with it cheerfulness, peace and laughter. You suddenly feel gloom and heaviness evaporating to a point where when people see you, they ask, “Which skin products are you using?” Yet it’s not the skin, brethren; it’s the joy of The Lord radiating through you from the inside out, hallelujah!
Keep the joy of the Spirit bubbling in your life. Whenever something tries to bother or depress you, don’t submit to it. Rather, consciously subdue it with the joy of the Lord from within your spirit by laughing your way to victory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My mouth is filled with laughter today! I’m strengthened because the joy of The Lord in me is my strength! I shall continue to experience joy unspeakable all the days of my life in Jesus' Name!

GOD IN YOUR CORNER
Romans 8:31 (KJV)
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Never allow adversaries or critics to breed fear in your life. It’s so easy to lie to yourself by thinking these same critics are speaking for God when they’re mere distractions from the enemy. When people spend time, money, or other effort, in an attempt to derail you, have no fear. It's evidence that you're making an impact. If you remain focused, you'll keep succeeding while they keep stumbling. See how the verse reminds you if God is in your corner, how can anyone dare come against you?
Whatever people say, keep growing; keep winning; keep making progress. Let nothing stop you. The more powerful your critics, the more glorious your life really is. If it’s a boardroom you’re walking into this coming week, know that you’re not walking into that room alone – you have the most powerful, all-knowing God in your corner, and He IS for you.
It is still the Year of Heaven on Earth. If you have not experienced enough of a beautified life this year, have confidence the One who is for you has the ability to turn things around now, not tomorrow - NOW!

HE IS COMING!
1 Peter 4:7 (KJV)
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
The events and happenings all around the world today are clear indications that the Lord’s return is approaching, sooner than many think. We’re in the last days, the end of the end. You might think this talk is inappropriate right now, seeing that the festive season is in full swing; therefore, only cheerful talk should be entertained. But I tell you, brothers, and sisters, we must be awake and alert in the spirit now more than ever.
The message of the Lord Jesus coming soon is no gloomy topic! His very birth and exemplary life led to His glorious death that brought salvation for you and me! The scripture above says to be sober, which means be in the right mind; don’t get carried away by feasts while forgetting the reason why we feast. Be in prayer always and stay focused.
This festive season, the best gift you can afford anyone is the gift of salvation. Many are still unprepared for the Lord's return. It’s your duty to ensure as many as you can reach are aware of this. Let this drive be in you this season and recommit to winning more souls to Christ.

I recommit to being a prolific soul winner. I shall win souls this festive season more than I’ve ever done in Jesus' Name! Amen.

A PERFECT EXAMPLE
1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
God's Word was given to us to build, train, instruct, and correct in the life and way of righteousness. Today’s verse is all about living an exemplary life and is so necessary, especially now, where moral lines are becoming blurrier.
Remember, we are in the deeper life phase. Choose to not be the Christian whose behaviour and lifestyle are questionable. Some people’s uncommendable behaviour could be in the way they treat other people, be it their family, staff, colleagues or even their superiors. Their character and behaviour aren't Christ-like. If your manner of life is inconsistent with the Word, make a change today.
Have pure desires and motives. Renew your mind with the Word, and be sure that your affections, choices, and decisions are in line with the Word. Be a true Christian, in heart and in action. Let others see Christ when they see you. Use the Word to check your actions, motives, thoughts, and desires. Do this, and you’ll experience the glory of God’s Spirit in your life as you should!

A FAMILIAR VOICE
John 10:27 (KJV)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Some Christians today are in a dilemma because they yearn to ‘hear’ from a father who is speaking expressly every day. They think God is silent, yet He’s the complete opposite. This common problem comes because many ignore the Holy Spirit in them. I’ll tell you how. The Bible says in Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." You see that? That’s your birth right; it’s not something you fast for or pray about.
Having the Holy Spirit live in you is the greatest blessing of all. He’s your advantage and the secret to a glorious and successful life. Therefore, you must recognise and take advantage of His presence and guidance. You must let Him lead you through constant fellowship.
The more time you spend with Him, acknowledging Him throughout the day, taking heed of His counsel, His voice becomes more and more familiar until you can’t miss it. It becomes familiar. Your life becomes void of stress, much more excellent and full of glory.

I have the best counsel that places me at the top always. My day today is a success. I have my Father in me; failure is not an option!

DRESSED TO KILL
Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
To perfectly understand the above scripture, look at the two words, “put on,” endýō (in Greek), which means sink down into it, or to drown in the armour of God. When you sink into something, it means you go beneath the surface of that thing. So, you’re not putting on the armour as clothing as some of you have seen perhaps in films, you’re drowning in this armour of God, so not even the smallest part is left uncovered.
The Church, in large part, has had only a surface understanding of the armour of God, a juvenile revelation of it. Until you put on—endýō—the whole armour of God, you cannot do what the next part of the verse is saying - to stand.
Notice: you are not fighting against the wiles of the devil. You are standing from a position of victory which you have already attained. You have already killed every form of negativity by simply putting on this armour. That means the purpose of the warfare is not to win. You have ALREADY WON in Christ. The purpose is to stand and maintain your position of victory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am fully dressed in the armour of God to kill every negativity in my life today. I have already attained victory in Christ, so I STAND!

HEAVY BAGGAGE
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Jesus says, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is extraordinary! He is the embodiment of life itself, the source of everything amazing. He is joy, He is peace, He is love personified, and He is the perfect way. Now just imagine the grace and love that allows this extraordinary being to tell you to freely come to Him if you’re facing one challenge or the other. My God! What an honour and privilege this is, brethren. How can you fail?
This brand-new week, don’t fear, don’t struggle, don’t cry – just fix your gaze on The Lord Jesus. There is a rest and calmness only He can give you. While you’re preparing for a challenging end-of-year report, or going through some rough seas, remember He lives in you. That means He causes you to sail through every challenge like a walk in the park.
Once you established a relationship with Him, your search ended, you arrived, you made it! Let go of the heavy bags, leave them at His feet and embrace your Father. In Him you are home, and there is definitely no place like home!

YOU GOT THIS!
John 15:18 (KJV)
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
I have often heard Christians cry out to God as they try to understand why they are hated so much. Maybe it’s you, reading this text today, going through persecution and trying to make sense of it all. Look no further than today’s scripture.
Understand that you signed up for persecution the moment you said yes to the Lord Jesus. By mentioning His name alone, you took on a host of enemies.
Every true Christian will face persecution: at work, school, in the family, amongst friends, or with strangers. God never lied to us. He said this in John 16:33: "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.”
Do you see that? What a wonderful encouragement! Yes, you shall have tribulation, and yes, the world will hate you, BUT you have OVERCOME! Quit feeling sorry for yourself and awaken this mindset in you. Our God went through it all and overcame just to show you that you can do it too. Be of good cheer. You've got this in the bag!

Today is the beginning of the best of the rest of my life! Nothing on this earth has the power to stop me from success in Jesus' Name, hallelujah!

DEAD OR ALIVE?
Matthew 8:21-22 (KJV)
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead
At first glance, one would be tempted to think the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated unnecessary harshness in this verse. After all, this is someone’s father, not a friend or distant cousin that died; it’s his father. So, let’s look closely at the significance of this lesson for us today.
When the Lord Jesus speaks about dead people burying other dead people, He’s talking about those that are spiritually dead. He gives us a clue here that there are people walking and talking, but they're not alive to God. He considers them dead because they’re not awakened to the Fatherhood of God and the reality of the Spirit realm.
When you’re born again, the Holy Spirit becomes real to you, and you’re awakened to the value of the Word of God. Not only are you awakened to the Word, but you live it daily! You become alive to His healing power, His righteousness, prosperity, and wisdom! It’s easy for the Lord to instruct and guide you from within because you're tuned in to Him. Practice this new life today. You’re not dead!

I’m alive to God. His power, glory, love and grace have just increased in my life. I have victory today in all my tasks, in Jesus' Name!

A Lobster does not grow with its shell; through the process of “moulting” the lobster breaks its old shell to form a new one and then grow again to that size. A Lobster’s growth process is very painful and uncomfortable! So, for a Lobster to grow it must entertain pain, physical distress, and discomfort. Expansion and growth come with cutting off the rough edges, the things that are preventing your growth.
From the scripture, the sons of the Prophet felt the place they were living was just too small, very uncomfortable, no more convenient. Notice while they felt a need to expand, they also recognise a need to have the presence of their Man of God. The sons of the Prophet realise in order to grow, the company of their Spiritual father was a necessity. For you to truly experience expansion and increase in your life, the voice of your man of God must continue to reverberate in your ears; be willing to receive the Word of God and live it.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am growing in my spiritual walk, my life is increasing, my business is expanding, I see multiplication to my finances even as I grow spiritually; wealth and riches are mine in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FULLNESS OF TIME
Luke 1:10 (KJV)
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Fullness of time or “HORAH” moment, this could be a moment or season known of God when something special must happen. The scripture mentioned “Time” of incense, that moment when Zacharias was to burn incense on the altar before God. It was Zacharias’ time of duty, a moment of service calculated by God himself to reveal His glory to Zacharias and his wife, Elizabeth. Notice: Zacharias means “God remembers” and Elizabeth means “God keeps his promise”. So, at that Horah moment, God remembers to keep His promise to Zacharias and Elizabeth, a woman considered by society as “barren”!
Understand, God’s timing is perfect, the Horah time wherein God in His own wisdom remembers it is now time to bring to past that which was plan for your life. Notice, Elizabeth gave birth to John the forerunner of Jesus’ ministry. It was God’s design and plan that the timing for the births of John and Jesus not be too far apart. Remember today that whatever situation you go through or face, God remembers and keeps His promises, you are coming out, the time is now in Jesus’ name.
PROPHETICE DECLARATION
I am walking into my Horah moment. Good things are about to happen in my life that God alone will get the glory. I shall testify in this season of the year of Heaven on Earth! Amen.

VISION VERSUS AMBITION
3 John 1:2 (KJV)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
It is worth noting that we understand the importance of these two words in our Christian journey. Ambition sees on the outside, what will people think and say about you, so your concern is with the outside appearance. Ambition survives on other people’s assessments about your life so you are subjected to people’s opinion and live a life of trying to please others. Ambition will lie, it cares only about reputation and outward appearance, obviously God is not in the equation, which is very dangerous.
On the other hand, we have vision, which looks on the inside, your heart for God. Vision is what God says and thinks about you, translated into your realities. From today’s scripture, God is very intentional about your prosperity, your health, and your soul. Anything contrary to these three things is of the devil. Jesus is building His Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it; be a part of this vision of making Hell empty and Heaven full.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My vision is clear, I shall continue to walk with God to achieve His purpose on Earth. I am a soul winner, a part of God’s plan for this dispensation. I must ensure that the good news of God’s grace reaches the four corners of the world in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

LET IT FLOW
Psalm 24:1 (ESV)
The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.
I know people want to be prosperous, which is a good thing! Others will tell you boldly I want to be kingdom financier, sponsoring the gospel to the ends of the world, that is excellent. Fact: when it comes to riches, wealth, and prosperity, God does not shy away. God says gold is mine, silver is mine, and cattle on a thousand hills are mine. While people count their herds one by one, God counts His by hills of thousands. The scripture for today shows forth God's legitimate ownership to planet Earth and everything in it.
Notice, God owns everything including you, so, He can distribute to whoever He pleases that which He owns. God wants you to be a channel of distribution, a vehicle through which He blesses others. So, God requires that His blessing flows through you. If God cannot get it through you, He will not get it to you. Let the blessing begin to flow through you and see yourself expand in capacity to receive more of God's blessings in this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I stand as God’s warehouse of resources, a channel of distribution to the rest of the world. My life shall be a life of blessing for others, I shall walk in the fullness of my destiny be showing forth God’s glory when I appear. Amen.

LET IT GERMINATE
1 Corinthians 15:36 (KJV)
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
Notice by measuring the results of seed faith, it seems a lot of Christians still find it hard to grasp. When it comes to sowing and reaping or seeding and harvesting, we do not see much impactful performance. The problem is that a lot of Christians want to sow today and harvest 24 hours later. They do not understand, and neither are they willing to understand that the seed sown must first die, then germination takes place, and with time, the harvest comes in 30/60/100 folds!
If you want instant harvest, it is like refusing for your seed to die. Jesus said that unless a grain of seed falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. Whether at the time of sowing the seed, it fell straight, sideways, head up or head down, that is irrelevant, the main things are it fell on good soil and that it dies. Do not worry much about the process of germination, leave that with the seed, soil, and God. As you follow the principle correctly, your harvest will surprise you, and your destiny will change forever.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a Sower in God’s kingdom, my harvest is sure, my expectation shall be met, I shall never be denied my bountiful harvest as my seeds sown have died. I am going to reap lavishly and praise The Name of God almighty. Hallelujah!

MOMENTS
2 Corinthians 4:8 (KJV)
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Moments are created during times of travail, when you refuse to give in to the devil’s harassments. Understand this: miracles happen when you are at the edge of the red sea. To see beyond the horizon and grasp the essence of going to the next level, you must know your moments and cease them. Most Christians miss their moments because of their failure to discern and recognise opportunities. The Chinese vocabulary lacks the direct interpretation of the word "crisis."" The closest definition they can find to "crisis" is "opportunity,"
When crisis erupts in an area, the Chinese rush on the scene because they equate crisis to opportunity and so benefit in the end. When you realise your moment, you move to get hold of it. Things of the spirit are caught not taught! There are moments where the Spirit of God is ministering to you to sow a seed or spend the night in prayer or just go and read the Bible, discern the moment, and cease the opportunity, consequently, your miracle shall manifest.
PROPHET DECLARATION
The Word of God is my guarantee that whatever I face, there is a glorious end. As a child of God, I am destined for greatness, I shall climb the mountain of my next level to get a mountain top perspective of my Life; I am above only and not below. Amen.

TAKE IN MORE LIGHT
Matthew 5:14 (KJV)
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Everything is controlled by light, your marriage is controlled by light, your money and finances are controlled by light. The amount of light that enters you will make you exercise dominion. The Bibles says that at the entrance of your Word gives light, and it gives understanding to the simple. Understanding then comes by the amount of light you allow to enter you; this implies, the amount of the Word of God you have stored in you, will bring out corresponding wisdom when faced with a challenge.
During Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, it was the amount of light translated in the knowledge and Word of God that was being emanated to refute everything Satan threw at him. Jesus consistently said “IT IS WRITTEN” he relied on the Word of God in him to do battle against the strategies of the enemy. The more of the light you absorb by reading the Word of God, the more you surmount and dominate your health issues, your financial challenges, and your marital problems. Get in the Word which is light, submerge yourself, drown in it and see yourself experience dominion in this year of Heaven on Earth!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the light of the world; I shall shine brighter and brighter till everything around me glows with the glorious presence of Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!

THEY WILL SUBMIT
Psalm 18:44 (KJV)
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
Notice how the scripture is very clear; the psalmist was speaking of how strangers will respond to him, and he declared that it will be as soon as they hear of him. There was not going to be a delayed response. There was going to be a speedy response. Strangers were going to do their best, and there was not going to be any delays. By the psalmist’s affirmation, delay was deleted. I decree and declare; this shall be your portion now and always!
We are in the in year of Heaven on Earth, and you are probably asking why is it not happening to you or for you? Especially in this month, you may think that the year is almost at the end, but notice, the theme of this year given to us by God is still alive and well, the year has not ended. The matters of your life will unfold without delays. Your miracles will not be delayed. Your congratulations will not be delayed. Your good news will not be delayed. It is still your year of Heaven on Earth!

POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Romans 1:4 (KJV)
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
When you have the WORD without the SPIRIT you will dry up. However, when you have the SPIRIT without the WORD, you will blow up! Interestingly, when you have both the SPIRIT and the WORD, you will grow up. Get into the Word of God relying on the leading of the Spirit, and your life will flourish. The Holy Spirit is the best teacher you can ever have, who is there to teach you the deep things of God. Growth in the spiritual realm depends on the WORD and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
When you are dependent on the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, you will be guarded wisely to make good choices for your family and business. The Bible says “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding”. There you have it, make the Holy Ghost to be your Tutor for delving into the Biblical syllabus, and you will experience the growth that will make your achievements undeniable. In your home, business and career make the Holy Spirit to be your guide.

GOD IS FIGHTING FOR YOU!
Psalm 18:47 (KJV)
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
It is very difficult or near impossibility to find a genuine man of God who is not being fought. The moment you gave your life to Christ, you become a moving target for the devil and his cohorts. The scripture speaks of opposition against David, the Lord’s servant, but strangely, he needs not to fight them because God Himself was available to fight on his behalf. So, he did not look like someone fighting because the Lord took over his battles. Hear me as I hear the Lord: your battles have been taken over by the Lord.
Welcome to that season where God Himself will serve vengeance to all those that have chosen to fight against you. Personally, I have experience battles raging against me and sometimes I wonder how will I come out? But we serve a mighty God who arises and his enemies’ scatter. You enemies have automatically become God’s enemy because you are his servant. Now, welcome to that season where your battles and attackers will be subdued by the Lord. 2 Thessalonians 1:6 says: “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you”.

My victory is of the Lord, I am like a battle axe in His hands. I shall never be defeated. Winning is what I do in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

NEWNESS OF LIFE IN CHRIST
Romans 14:19 (KJV)
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Let’s me put it this way, your life before receiving Christ for some of you reading this right now, you were free to do whatever pleases you, I mean, everything was just acceptable to you. Now that you are in Christ, let's hear what Apostle Paul says in his epistle to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 6:12. “Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].” AMP.
You can now clearly see that your life in Christ now is to show forth His glory, you are not your own anymore, certain places you used to go to, you cannot go to no more. Certain circles of people you used to hang out with, no more will you be found in those circles. You must have Christ consciousness that transcends "self" and realise you are now a new creation. Think of it this way, you never existed before, you are brand new because of the Holy Spirit that is now in you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a new creature in Christ. Now Christ before me, Christ around me Christ above me and everything I do is Christ, I now live a new life of victory in Jesus Christ! Glory!

EQUIPPING CENTRE
Acts 2:42 (KJV)
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
You do well for yourself to honour, respect and reverence the time you have with the Lord. The Church is the equipping centre to equip the soldiers of Jesus. Whatever the weapon and artillery you need to go out in victory is found in the Church. Get this: the real world is in the realm of the Spirit. Your body is like the suit you must wear to cover the spirit man inside you, to move around on planet earth. You are a Spirit man having an earthly experience.
Therefore, your place of equipping and preparation should be of priority if you are to conquer life challenges. Neglecting the Equipping Centre is tantamount to going to battle without ammunition and strategy! Your victory in the real world is tied to the worth of knowledge you have acquired and your authority in the spiritual realm. In the real world, Soldiers are properly trained and equipped and strategically placed to secure victory. The battle is raging everyday and your preparedness is of paramount importance to your survival!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I feed on the Word of God daily, I am a soldier in the Lord’s army. My mind is alert, I shall be found in the house of the Lord for my equipping. I shall live a life of victory always in the name of Jesus!

SPIRITUAL REALITIES
1 Corinthians 16:13 (KJV)
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Until you realise that your experience in the physical is a manifestation of what happened in the realm of the spirit, your life will continue to be like a roller coaster. To see real progress in your life, your spiritual growth must excel. Unfortunately, your spiritual growth is not determined by the pastor or preacher, no, it is by the knowledge of the Word of God in you! Apostle Pauls final saying in Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”. Notice that our strength is derived from knowing God and His word.
Paul says be strong, be enabled, be empowered in the WORD! The Word of God gives power, it enables you that is making you able to achieve the impossible. The empowerment from the word of God cannot be compared to worldly wisdom. This is a spiritual reality that you mush grasp to lift scriptures out of the Bible and make them part of your being and see yourself reign in victory in this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

John 10:10 (KJV)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The devil continues to use the same old tricks since the days of Adam and Eve. The devil's methods and trickery have followed the same pattern again and again. In fact, you may have realised by now the same manoeuvres and crafts the devil used before and you fell for it, he is now whispering the same things to you again! The devil cannot create so he recycles the same thing all the time. Demons do not procreate, there are no new generation of demons.
The same demons during the days of Adam and Eve are roaming the Earth today, this is why they are in your genealogy. Do not fall for the same tricks, it is time to be astute, stand on the WORD of God and you will not fall a victim this time around! The devil will only use the very information you give him to attack you. Today is your day of victory, your rising cannot be tampered with anymore in this year of Heaven on Earth!

WALKING WISELY
Ephesians 5:15-16 (KJV)
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise; Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
The word used in this text "circumspectly" in Greek connotes: perfectly, diligently, wisely. Notice Apostle Paul is writing to Christians here. The Apostle is saying the days are evil, meaning every day will come with its challenges, so you are supposed to be fully girded in the armoury of the almighty! You are warned because the prince of the air in this world, the devil is cunning and is not retired yet, so the Word of God is your defence!
You must act on the Word and put your faith in action in your daily walk with Christ. You must discern the environment that you find yourself, pray that during challenging times, God will set before you a table. God is about to show up big time for you. I am persuaded that your new level is about to manifest. You have been single handily pulled out by God to showcase your prosperity as a testament to His greatness. Be wise, they left you because they were not part of you, now it is your time! Arise, shine!

WHOSE REPORT ARE YOU BELIEVING?
Isaiah 53:1 (KJV)
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Notice the same problems that confronted the people during the days of Prophet Isaiah before he dashed the question confronts this last dispensation. There were the proud and arrogant, those that say I will die with you, yet they are the one pulling the trigger. Those that were thinking that God has gone on holiday and have left matters into their hands, those who were constantly challenging the existence of God, those who choose to entertain other forms and shades of belief systems other than the true and living God.
It seems that the Prophet was so much disappointed with the society that he puts a question forth to hear their response. The same question is relevant now than in the days of Prophet Isaiah. We have seen the tendencies of our modern-day society battling, protesting, and fighting to remove everything that is Godly or has the semblance of God thereof from our educational system. The report in question is believed by the one whom the arm of the Lord is being revealed to, that is the true Christian!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

SENSING THE ANOINTING
Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Listen carefully, the anointing can be sensed and you can feel the anointing in an atmosphere. The impact of the anointing is irreversible. Lives impacted by the anointing can take stock and testify that their destinies are changed simply because of the anointing. You see, spiritual materiality like the anointing carries tangibility that you can see change lives and destinies.
When we talk about the anointing, we are talking about the power of God in action. With God, nothing is impossible. This is so because of the anointing. When you see tumours dissolved from people, HIV healed, barrenness destroyed, and the backbone of poverty broken, that is the impact of anointing I am talking about. I declare to someone now, whatever held you captive, that thing is destroyed and never to return. Your life is being realigned to fulfil your destiny and impact nations in this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am called and anointed to take the gospel to the nations of the world. I am a yoke destroying, miracle working, one-man defence system that can never be defeated. When you touch me, you are ‘finished’, the power of God flows through my veins in The Mighty Name of Jesus!

IRREVERSIBLE WEALTH
Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Understand this, your assignment in the kingdom matters to God, and life as we know requires sustenance. The scripture is replete with emphasis on God blessing His people. This entails wealth and riches to be in the hands of those who are called according to his purpose. God told Abraham, the father of our faith, that "I will bless you so that you become a blessing." This implies that Abraham's surname was blessing. When Abraham appears on the scene, then you know blessings just show up.
As a Christian, when you move, blessings are moving. When you appear anywhere, blessings just appears. An entire ecosystem that encounters you must be impacted with blessings. How in the world does your situation manifest the contrary? Lack is not in God's vocabulary, so shall it be with you now! You cannot live in lack and want in this year of Heaven on Earth. I reverse and place an embargo on any and every negativity in your life that makes people bring the integrity of God into question. Today, you are set free for free to walk into your destiny.

APPLY WISDOM
Luke 16:8 (KJV)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Can you see what I see? This is Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, commending the unjust servant. What are the doings of the children of this world that attracted Jesus’ attention and His commendation? The Word of God tells us that though we are in this world, but not of the world, that is a fact. At the same time, we are advised to be as wise as the serpent. To win souls and the world for Jesus, we need to acclimatise by making connections with those that matter in society.
The Apostle Paul preached the gospel to people of reputation, influencers in the community, in local, regional, and national government so that the Word of God penetrates the higher ups without fear. As Christians, we agreed on one thing, that the gospel must reach the utter most part of the world, which requires relationships. Your interaction with authorities is pivotal to the spreading of the GOODNEWS. We are mandated to win souls, how we do the soul winning is the strategy we need to discover through the Holy Spirit.

LESSON FROM HYENAS
Matthew 10:16 (KJV)
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
One of the most important abilities of Hyena is its sensory capacity. Hyenas can smell and sense danger miles away. Hyenas, despite its aggressive prowess, fierce attacking strategy, it survives in the wild principally because of its high sensory intelligence. When a Hyena senses danger, it will avoid it and pass the other way, far removed from a dangerous environment. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:3 “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
Only Christians see danger and walk towards it disregarding discernment and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Notice, the same God who allowed the three Hebrew boys to get into the fire and came out unscathed; is the same God who told Lot to run away from the fire! God uses different strategies for different situations, so begin to walk and act smart, having your spiritual senses active and wide awake, and you will continue to rise like an edifice in Jesus' Mighty Name.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

I decree and declare right now, every evil altar speaking against you will amount to nothing in The Name of Jesus. You are coming out of that situation unharmed. Get ready to celebrate your victory in grand style!

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
As a Christian, one of the weapons at your disposal is your voice. What you want to see change in your present situation and how you want it to change is all voice activated. You cannot be silent and complain that things are not happening the way you so desired. What are you doing about it? Do you speak restoration to that business at the verge of bankruptcy? Do you speak healing to that irritating medical condition? Do you speak divine protection to your children as they start their daily routine?
Exactly, what are you speaking over your present unwanted situation. Your silence is giving the enemy the upper hand on the matter. Your success and destiny are voice-activated, your mouth is not only for eating, the Bible tells us clearly life and death is in the power of the tongue, explore the power of the tongue, use your voice properly to see stumbling blocks remove, unwanted bills deleted, marital huddles flattened, miraculous healings in your body and finances in your life as you speak things into existence.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I speak supernatural abundance to my finances, acceleration in my business, money is coming to me, I am walking in power and strength, I shall not die but live to show the glory of God, in Jesus’ Mighty Name! Amen.

KNOW GOD
Colossians 1:19 (KJV)
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
The reason why you do not trust God is simple: you do not know Him! God took time to introduce Himself throughout the pages of the Bible, yet most people even some professing Christians included do not know Him. God, The Creator of the universe, took the pain to step into creation through the virgin birth. Jesus is God, so get this, when Jesus was being breastfed, that was God going through the protocol of earthly existence. Jesus crawls, learns to take the first steps, then walks as humans do in an effort for God to introduce Himself to His own creation.
The Bible is very unambiguous in its presentation in the book of Hebrews 1:1-6 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds... God is The Creator of all things, nothing exists, outside of God, get to know Him and experience life transformation in this year of Heaven on Earth!.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a masterpiece of God, fashioned in His image, I know who I am and whose I am. I am a carrier of the Godhead clothed with power to dominate challenges and circumstances in The Mighty Name of Jesus!

JUST IGNORE HIM
Luke 10:19 (KJV)
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Notice, the devil cannot stand to be ignored. If you give the devil attention, he will give you direction! You must make a firm commitment to standing your grounds on the Word of God with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As a spirit filled Christian, you have an advantage over the devil. Jesus by His spirit lives in you that’s power. The devil is a defeated foe. He is roaring like a lion, playing the character of a lion but not the real lion.
You are the one that roars with the voice of the lion of Judah. Do not underestimate the power you carry and the power you can exercise over the enemy. See today’s scripture, act on it now, turn the pressure on the enemy with the highest resistance, and he will flee from you. In this year of HEAVEN ON EARTH, let your thunderous voice of a lion roar echo’s in the realms of the spirit and see your struggles disappear in the Name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
In this year of Heaven on Earth, my voice will resound in the corridors of Heaven. I am a territorial Commander whose voice carries authority and power. I am not scared of the devil for he is a defeated foe, toothless, powerless and under my feet! Hallelujah.

DISCIPLE NATIONS
Mark 16:15 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Discipleship is one of the areas in Christianity that gets a lot of resistance from the enemy. You hear about this country or that country is hard grounds for winning souls. Sometimes, the assumption is that certain cities are just difficult to grow a Church. In this mindset, it appears that certain countries are abandoned to the devil. Today's scripture indicates that there is no town, city, country, or continent that is outside of God's command and control. The whole Earth, think about it, belongs to God!
We have a mandate to reach the unreachable, to spread the good news of God's grace to every creature. While the task appears to be massive, it is not impossible. Imagine an entire country becoming your cell group. If it were not possible for us to accomplish, Jesus would not have given us the mandate. The difficulty is not those nations but the perception of ourselves and how we see those nations reap for the Gospel. Get ready, as the Spirit of God directs you to spread this gospel to all parts of the world, that is our commission!
PROHETIC DECLARATION
I am ready to go boldly to the rest of the world to preach Christ. My calling is clear, my mission is defined, and the mandate is precise, I am going to win souls for Jesus!

HOW ARE YOU ASKING?
James 1:6 (KJV)
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
"Ask" equates to your desires, request, and being very adamant about your petition. Boldness is the key; but is the asking in accordance with the will of God? In order to receive what you have asked, you must be immersed in faith that stands still and, you must be consistent, not wavering or even doubting yourself, constantly hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Be inundated with God's Word to the extent that when you are squeezed, "Word juice" comes out.
With the end of the year looming, some professing Christians are asking themselves, is this year of “Heaven on Earth” going to be a reality for me, my family, my business, my career? What is required in this case is let your asking be aligned with God's will for your life; for God's will for your life is firmly rooted in His Word. Let this be the basis of your request and see miracles spring up in your life daily without fail.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Today, I choose to ask in faith with the firm backing of the Word of God. I shall not ask amiss anymore, I know my Father hears me when I ask in accordance with His will. My answer shall manifest now, no more delay, I am blessed in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

FAITH STATION
2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
In ordinary life, there are train stations and bus stations or bus stops for a specific destination in most developed and developing countries. When your faith is rooted in the Word of God immovable, with time, your request gets God's attention, and an Angel is dispatched with your answer. Unfortunately, most Christians change faith's address too soon, so by the time the Angel arrives with the answer at that faith’s address, they are no longer around to be found. Stickability to the prescription is faith immovable, your Christianity is your responsibility. Hold on to God's Word no matter what, do not budge!
A Soldier who abandons his post without properly been relieved is classified as “Absent without Leave” (AWAL), he misses out on essential supplies and the incentives that pertains to that assignment. When you suddenly change your faith address by doubting God’s Word, by the time the Angel with your answer appears, you are not in that right location anymore and will certainly miss out on your miracle! Notice, your “Heaven on Earth”, miracle will not delay but show up in time, God has not forgotten you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I see my miracle coming with my name and address on it. I will stay my course even in the midst of storms; I will not miss out on my greatness in this year of Heaven on Earth in The Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

Acts 2:17 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
In the last days the Bible says, there will be a continuous outpouring of God's Spirit, an unstoppable emptying of God's power through His Spirit, this is what we are witnessing now. We are the best for the last to finish the race in style! The church services are the equipping centres; put the Word of God in action now. It requires full participation with passion to experience the manifestations of signs, miracles, and wonders in this year of Heaven on Earth!
Today, place hands on the sick, and see them recovered! Speak restoration to your business and see it bounce back. Contend for your marriage standing on the Word of God and see the flames of love ignited once more. You have the very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead living on the inside of you! Being the best for the last lap, means we can take cities and nations for Jesus now. Christ in you the hope of glory, be fearless in speaking God's Word to this last dispensation in The Name of Jesus.

YOUR PRAYER IS ANSWERED
1 John 5:15 (KJV)
And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
When a student has assiduously studied for an examination, burned candles at both ends, he or she enters the exam hall with such an overwhelming confidence anchored in the understanding of the subject matter. Most assuredly, he can be certain even after taking the exams that the questions were properly and correctly answered, so no fear, that student will not panic! That surety of passing the exams comes with the inner conviction of excellent performance during the exams.
Our scripture for today implies the same that when you know God hears your prayer, the answer is already guaranteed! The word “know" in this text is from the Greek word "eido," which connotes a degree of awareness or perception with assurance that the thing is there! You do not doubt it but believe it! This mindset makes you rejoice even before seeing the manifestation of your prayer request! Have this consciousness that God hears you when you pray and begin to live the Heaven on Earth experience as your miracles manifest in Jesus' Name! Amen.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

PLAN YOUR FAITH JOURNEY
Psalm 23:4 (KJV)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Veteran travellers take into consideration a checklist before embarking on a journey. They made sure all tyres air pressure checked, fuel level checked, navigation system checked, and destination clearly mapped. It is so amazing that most Christians start the faith journey without checking and taking on board what is required for the journey. Our faith walk is based on solid information, for “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), that's information.
Check that you have enough fuel, which is being armed with prayer, and see that your GPS, which is the Word of God is not malfunctional! The Bible says your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105). It is not only a daily walk, but a journey of a lifetime, be equipped with the Word of God and refuel daily with prayer; and your victory is as sure as daylight in this year of Heaven on Earth!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am not walking alone, the Spirit of God is with me and directing my path, my destination is sure, my journey is secured. I shall not get weary but continue to press forward for the prize of my high calling in Jesus’ Name!

THE TRANSCENDENT LIFE
Romans 6:11 (KJV)
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive (záō) unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The word transcendent means superior - BEYOND the natural human or physical experience. So, when we talk about the transcendent life, we’re talking about a life that goes beyond limits. A life where if you had a heart problem, you tell it to still and by your voice, it has no choice but to still. If you have a problem at work, you walk into your office, close the door, raise your hands and say I command peace in the Name of Jesus, and peace ensues.
The scripture above says you are alive unto God, boy oh boy! That means the very life you live, you live it as God lives it! Not only are you dead to sin, but dead to the world and all its challenges. You’re living far above the normal human experience. Oh hallelujah! Once you catch this revelation, you shall live an exciting Christian life! A life where you’re just happy and at peace twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of what’s going on around you! Rejoice! You’re alive unto God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is no ordinary life! I am far above normal human experiences. I am enhanced in Christ, and everything around me shall work perfectly today in Jesus' Name!

YOU’RE QUALIFIED
Romans 8:31 (KJV)
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Are you feeling overwhelmed knowing that God has called you to a new task or assignment? Perhaps it’s starting a business, leading a ministry, or even taking on the challenge of going back to school. Whatever the situation is, you may be finding yourself asking, “How am I going to do this?” You’re not alone! Many Christians have faced similar questions.
In Judges 6, Gideon was hiding from the enemy like a coward when God sent him on the assignment of a lifetime. Gideon looked at himself, where he came from, and his present circumstances and saw no possible way. However, he had one advantage: the Lord of Hosts was on his side!
With faith in God and trust in His plan for our lives, we can take on any new assignment with courage and assurance. Taking on a new assignment may seem overwhelming or daunting at first. However, with faith, prayerful consideration, and the assurance that God sent you, good success is guaranteed! You will make progress in any undertaking with confidence. Grace will carry you further than any qualifications or lack thereof. The Lord of Hosts is with you! Always remember, God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called!

ARMED WITH PRAYER
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (CEV)
We live in this world, but we don't act like its people 4 or fight our battles with the weapons of this world. Instead, we use God's power that can destroy fortresses. We destroy arguments.
Conscientious objectors are individuals who refuse to participate in war or any military act on the basis of their moral or religious beliefs. They are willing to risk imprisonment, persecution, or worse, by refusing to take up arms. Depending on their perspective on the war at hand, some laud conscientious objectors as heroes, while others vilify them as cowards. However, there is no such thing as a conscientious objector when it comes to spiritual battle.
The moment you become a Christian, you become a soldier. Like it or not, you are in a battle. The good news is you are already on the victorious side, so you’re not fighting to win; Christ already won for us! However, you have an enemy who acts as though he doesn’t know it. He will keep firing whether you choose to arm yourself or not. Prayer is a weapon beyond nuclear proportions. It obliterates anything the enemy tries to throw at you. So, never lay your weapon down; just keep shooting. Keep firing!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am armed and dangerous! I obliterate the advances of the enemy with prayer! No attack of the enemy will catch me unaware, for my prayers go ahead of me into battle like spiritual snipers.

IT’S WORKING
Matthew 19:26 (KJV)
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
A certain man stood on his balcony watching his little girl playing. Suddenly, her legs went out from under her and became like ropes. The child was immediately brought inside. There was no strength in her lower limbs, and doctors offered no hopeful prognosis.
The man turned to the only sure remedy: he prayed, then began to speak the Word to his daughter’s muscles and bones. Every day, he spoke to those legs - maybe 7,000 times in all! One day, the child miraculously stood, but she could not walk, so he continued speaking the Word. Finally, he received a call that she was walking! Overjoyed, the father went to see and was astounded as his daughter RAN towards him, completely healed!
No matter the condition in your body today, know that the Word works! The moment you use it to speak to your body, it’s working! You may not see or feel anything, but it’s only a matter of time before your health springs forth. If ever you feel despairing, remember the glorious testimony of that father and his child. One day, it will be you sharing your very own testimony! Cheer up! The Word works!

RUN AWAY
2 Timothy 2:16 (KJV)
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
It is not uncommon for real men and women of God to come under attack. In fact, it should be expected. The Lord Himself said woe to the person who everyone speaks well of (Luke 6:26). Unfortunately, some individuals resort to vindictive tactics, spreading false information and manipulating the media to assassinate the character of those they envy or despise.
Sadly, some Christians are quick to run to “verify” the bad news they’ve heard, consulting reporter Google or news anchor YouTube to get more information. When they do this, they’re essentially opening themselves up to the possibility of falsely accusing the person who’s being targeted.
God hates feet that are quick to run to mischief, still countless Christians choose to do so. Yet the Word of God admonishes us to shun – stay away from, avoid, turn away from – the discussion of godless, useless matters. Dwelling on accusations is a fast track to a bitter heart and destructive conversations. Shift your focus and steer clear of trouble. Pray for leaders, including those who are experiencing such attacks. Run away from mischief, and above all, never speak against a man or woman who God is still using.

I refuse to give credence to baseless accusations. My ears are sanctified for only what edifies. I attract nothing but good news! Amen.

SPECIFIC FAITH
Mark 11:23 (NKJV)
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
As Christians, we all know the importance of faith and hope in our lives. However, not everyone understands the difference between faith and hope and how each plays a crucial role in achieving our goals. While hope is an essential element in our faith journey, it is not enough to accomplish our goals. Hope is the goal-setter; faith is the goal-getter, and it is the specificity of faith that makes us realize when our goals have been reached.
Notice the scripture says, “THIS mountain” - not just any mountain, meaning what you say must be specific. Such clarity provides direction and focus. When we have specific faith, it means we know exactly the Word we believe and what results we expect from putting our faith into action.
God is in the details. What is the make, model, year, and colour of the car you want? What is the specific condition in your body or life you want to be changed and the expected outcome? What is the specific amount you require, and by when? Don’t be vague or settle for wishful thinking. Aim your faith at the particular mountain you are speaking to. Be specific, and you will never miss your miracle!

CROWN YOUR KING
Proverbs 29:2 (NKJV)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
In 2022, a certain royal invested a whopping $1.72 billion into housing and land for his citizens. Lower-income citizens were provided with free land, housing, and interest-free loans repayable over twenty-five years. A program was established to prioritize orphans, widows, the elderly, and those with special needs. What makes something like this possible? The answer is simple: it all starts with honour. When a king is honoured, his kingdom thrives, and its citizens become beneficiaries of his benevolence.
This is true even in marriage. Every man has a king and a fool inside. The one you entertain is the one who responds. Every wife has been given the unique grace to fashion her own crown for her husband. When she crowns him with words of honour and treats him like a king, he’ll respond in kind. When kings are honoured, they do the most. Keep in mind that respect is the universal language of love for men. So if you want to enjoy a loving and fulfilling marriage, start by treating your husband like royalty, and watch your relationship flourish.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare relationships sanctioned by God. In this year of Heaven on Earth, I shall enjoy peace, bliss, and stress-free God-ordained relationships. My home is a place of peace, in Jesus’ mighty Name!

BREAKING APPROVAL ADDICTION
Ephesians 1:6 (KJV)
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Approval addiction is defined as seeking the approval and validation of others to feel good about yourself. It can take various forms, such as seeking affirmation from peers, compromising the Word of God to please people, or posting pictures on social media for likes. Relying on the approval of others to determine the way we live and interact with others can make it challenging to distinguish between the opinions of our peers and the will of God. Furthermore, one’s actions and behaviour may be driven by what one believes will make others happy, even if it means compromising godly values.
Approval addiction is a common struggle, even among Christians, but it is a challenge that can be overcome. You can reject being swayed by people-pleasing and break free from the chains of approval addiction. How? It starts with recognizing that your worth comes from God. He has freely bestowed on you His grace and accepted you in Christ. Prioritize God’s opinion above all else and reject the need to please people. Remember, God loves you unconditionally, and His opinion is the only one that truly matters!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am loved and accepted by God. In Christ I am whole, perfect, and capable. I am not swayed by the opinions of others, for God has put His seal of approval on me!

FINDING YOUR CALLING
2 Timothy 4:5 (LSB)
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
As a Christian, understanding your calling is an integral part of your faith journey. Searching for clarity in your calling can be frustrating and exhausting, but it’s crucial to realize that God has a unique plan for your life. Discovering your calling requires faith, patience, and a willingness to listen to God’s voice. It may even require stepping out of your comfort zone and taking risks, but the reward is immeasurable. Whilst you are discovering exactly what your calling is, I will give you a trick that will help you.
In 2 Timothy 4:5, Paul encourages young Timothy to “do the work of an evangelist.” Then he says, “fulfil your ministry.” In reading that, you might think Timothy was called to be an evangelist, but he was not. Here is the trick: whilst you are looking for your calling, whatever your hands find to do, do it! Look around, see what is needed, and get busy doing the work. Whilst you are fulfilling the needs of the ministry, God will see to it that you bump into your calling. So don’t worry about running around looking for your calling. Do the work, and your calling will find you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The works of my hands are blessed! I am indispensable. Whatever God is doing, He won’t do it without me! Amen.

TAKE THE NATIONS
Proverbs 11:30 (KJV)
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
The biggest hindrance to winning souls is not fear or unpreparedness but the belief that it is difficult. Many Christians hear the word ‘winning’ and automatically think it involves overcoming challenges or obstacles. Soul winning is not difficult as many perceive it to be.
The Word of God says, “He that winneth souls is wise.” The word ‘winneth’ can mean to ‘fetch’ or ‘take up.’ The primary meaning is ‘to take’. So When the Lord said, “ask Me, and I will GIVE you nations,” He was offering them generously rather than suggesting that they must be won through challenges. You need only secure them in prayer first.
Every effective soul winner has been given authority to win nations for Christ. It’s as easy as taking up bundles of wheat the Lord has prepared for you. God has already done all the hard work.
You are simply taking advantage of the harvest He has prepared. Believing soul winning is easy is all the motivation you need to go out there and win souls. So, keep telling yourself soul winning is easy, and go out there and win souls for the Lord!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse to enter glory with no souls on my account. Nations are mine for the taking! Winning souls is EASY!

A SURE WORD
Proverbs 14:15 (GNT)
A fool will believe anything; smart people watch their step.
Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. In the same vein, never receive a promise or prophecy about riches or wealth from a person who doesn’t possess them. It takes a person of substance to be able to prophesy substance. There must be evidence of the Word working in their lives before they can advise you on yours. The reason there are so many fake prophets in Christendom is because they are fuelled by fake Christians. As long as Christians keep buying, these fake prophets will keep selling!
Are you letting the wrong people’s opinions steer your decisions? If so, it’s time to reconsider who you allow to speak into your life. You don’t need prophecy; you need the steadfast guidance of the Word. Proverbs 13:20 teaches if we walk with the wise we become wise; but if we associate with fools, trouble is sure to follow. As Christians, the Word of God should be our compass. No other voice, no matter who it belongs to, should override the voice of God. To hear His voice loud and clear, pick up your Bible and start reading!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

DON’T SNOOZE ON PRAYER
Psalm 119:147 (ERV)
I get up early in the morning to pray to you. I trust what you say.
You don’t need an alarm to wake up. Believe it or not, your own spirit can keep time for you. Give it a try. You’ll even wake up with minutes to spare. Some have become snooze-button addicts, pressing it repeatedly to squeeze out another few minutes of sleep. However, if you have a job where your boss expects you to be on time, you can’t hit snooze forever. You’ll spring out of bed without hesitation. Why? Because payday is on the line.
What about when it comes to deeper prayer? There’s no snooze button for that. God calls the shots on when we’re called to dive deeper into prayer. It may not always seem convenient, but it’s essential. Those who have experienced the power of deeper prayer understand that it’s a privilege, not a sacrifice, to surrender everything to God, including our time. When we push ourselves to pray even when we don’t feel like it, we’re training our flesh to respond to the burden of the Lord and trust me, there’s no pay check that compares to God’s trust. So ditch the snooze button and answer the call to prayer. The reward is far greater than any salary!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare I am that intercessor that enters deeper realms of prayer and responds every time to the burden of the Lord!

LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS
Genesis 1:3-4 (AMPC)
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.
The word ‘devil’ is not a name. It’s the job description of an evil entity that persists until he pierces through. Persistence is the devil’s strategy. This relentless force uses persistence as his weapon of choice, repeatedly bombarding you with negative thoughts. His game plan is to wear you down until you start speaking your own destruction. He knows that you are the one with the power in your mouth.
You see, you were made in the likeness of God who speaks and things happen – not tomorrow, that instant! We see Him separating light from darkness, yet we do not see any verse referring to the creation of darkness. Why? God knew the moment He said, “light be,” it was there. So He looked around and commanded it to shine out of darkness!
The devil wants you to believe your situation is hopeless. It’s a lie! Your light is right there. Draw it out with your words! When the pain hits, declare the Greater one is inside! When the bank balance is low, shout THE MONEY IS COMING! Speak the Word, and command light out of darkness!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Word in my mouth is my way out of every dark situation. My health is here, and I am moving to higher degrees in Jesus’ mighty Name!

NO COMPARISON
1 Corinthians 12:12 (MSG)
Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells ... It’s exactly the same with Christ.
Every part of the body, no matter how weak, has a crucial role to play. Every part of the body has a job to do, and each job, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in maintaining our health and well-being. Take, for instance, the pinkie finger – often considered the weakest and most dispensable digit. Yet without it, our grip strength, balance, and overall dexterity would be significantly diminished.
The Word of God says we are all members in the same Body, the Body of Christ. Each one of us has a unique role to play in the functioning of the Body, and every role is essential. It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others and feeling inadequate because you don’t have the same talents or gifts as someone else. However, God created you to be unique and to contribute in your own special way. You may not be the most visible member of the Body, but that does not diminish the value of your contribution. So, never look down on yourself or compare yourself with others. Recognize your value and carry out your function to the best of your ability.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
In this year of Heaven on Earth, I am becoming the best version of myself. I will outdo myself this year! Amen.

GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Isaiah 54:11 (MSG)
All your children will have GOD for their teacher— what a mentor for your children!
The prospect of starting a business can be both thrilling and terrifying. Many aspiring entrepreneurs are eager to run their own show and create a successful company but are held back by fear – fear of failure, fear of taking risks, fear of the unknown, and fear of losing money. For some, the fear of starting a business can be so overwhelming that it prevents them from taking the initial steps towards entrepreneurship. Fear is the number one obstacle that holds people back from starting their own businesses.
Let me ask you this: what is the cost of not pursuing your dreams? What is the price of settling for less than what you’re capable of achieving? What would you do if you were certain you would not fail? One of the ways to ensure success in business is to have a mentor, and you couldn’t ask for a better one than God Himself! In this year of money, God has assured you that if you start a business, it shall prosper. That is all the guarantee you need. You will not fail!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Whatever is not permitted in Heaven is not allowed in my life. Therefore, failure is not an option! My business will surely prosper and is an open channel for Kingdom finances. THE MONEY IS COMING!

DEEPER EYES
Habakkuk 1:13 (NRSVA)
Your eyes are too pure to behold evil, and you cannot look on wrongdoing; why do you look on the treacherous, and are silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than they?
Television has been a staple of modern life for over half a century, with billions of people tuning in daily to be entertained, informed, and inspired. While television has revolutionized the way we consume media, its effects on our thinking and behaviour patterns are often overlooked. From shaping the worldview of its viewers to influencing their decision-making, the impact of television is profound and far-reaching. Television is exactly as its name implies: it is telling a vision. It is not coincidence that we refer to the content being broadcasted as programmes because that is precisely what TV is designed to do – program the mind.
The crucified life is for those who are all-in for God. They are unwilling to subject any part of their lives, minds, spirits, or bodies to anything that does not align with God’s will. The psalmist declared I will set no evil – worthless, destructive, evil, ungodly, wicked, unprofitable, good for nothing – thing before my eyes. Remember, God is experiencing His experiences through you. Every time you watch something, ask yourself, what spirit is being entertained? Remove your eyes from evil, and begin to look at things God would be entertained to see.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My eyes are too pure to be entertained by useless things. I consecrate my eyes to the Lord for His use. Amen.

NO ACCUSERS
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
There is nothing haphazard about God’s plan for redemption. You may have read (in Luke 12:7) how God is so concerned about the details of your life that he numbers – not counts – but numerically codes every single hair on your head (or that was ever on your head). So know that when it came to the plan of salvation, God left no detail to chance.
Our scripture today touches upon sins, but if you look closer, you’ll notice something intriguing.
God purposefully colour-coded sins, labelling them as “scarlet” and “crimson” – the same colour as blood, making them indistinguishable. This design allows for a remarkable truth: God is blind to anything covered by the blood of Jesus. As Christians, this means there is no condemnation; no one can accuse us of sins, and we can’t accuse anyone else. We are free, forgiven, and forever loved by a God of grace! What a God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a product of grace. Therefore, I refuse to take on the character of Satan, the accuser. My sins are blotted out, and I am free of every accusation. No one is justified in bringing up my past, and any accuser will be dismissed as a liar!

BYE-BYE HEARTBREAK
John 10:28 (NKJV)
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
It has been scientifically proven that a “broken” heart can make even the most ravenous lose their appetite faster than a vegan at a braai. Heartbreak is a leading cause of skipped meals. The body of a person experiencing heartbreak is basically in survival mode. It is a high-stress situation, so the sympathetic nervous system kicks in, making hunger a lesser priority and suppressing hunger pangs by slowing down digestion. While that may be one way to lose weight, heartbreak can be avoided.
Notice the scripture says that those who are born again are securely held in the Master’s hand where no one can snatch them out. So, if that’s where you are, how can anyone get into that place to break your heart? The only way that can happen is if you open your heart to the wrong person. Pain comes when you let people in without even knocking. Even the Lord knocks at the heart and waits for you to open your heart before He enters. Do you want to avoid heartbreak? First, make sure whoever knocks is in the same location you are – in the hand of God. Secondly, now that Jesus is inside your heart, only open the door to those who He would welcome inside.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I will avoid heartbreak because The Lord is the restorer and protector of my heart. Amen.

PAYBACK
Proverbs 6:31 (CEV)
And thieves who get caught must pay back seven times what was stolen and lose everything.
In 2008, Facebook had to cough up a whopping $65 million to end a messy lawsuit with ConnectU that started in 2004. ConnectU claimed that Zuckerberg promised to help them create a social networking site while he was still studying at Harvard, but instead created his own rival platform, Facebook. They alleged Zuckerberg stole their idea and used it to create a billion-dollar business. Stealing can definitely come with a hefty price tag.
The Bible tells us the devil is a thief; stealing is his first point of entry. So, if there is anything missing from your life that you are supposed to have, know that the ultimate culprit is the devil. The good news is he’s obliged to pay back what he’s stolen. By recognizing the devil for the wicked crook he is, you can demand that he give back what he took from you – with interest – and he must comply. So instead of begging God for what was stolen from you, demand what’s rightfully yours from the real perpetrator. The devil owes you big time, and he’s required to pay up. He’s got no choice in the matter!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Anything that the enemy has taken from my life, he shall repay sevenfold. Devil, give me back my health, my family, my relationships, and my finances, NOW!

THE PULSE OF STRENGTH
Colossians 1:11 (CEV)
His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy.
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. ‘Cardio’ is derived from the Greek word "kardia," which means "heart," (which is where we get the ‘K’ in EKG). EKG’s are often performed when a problem is present. Even so, the pulse on the screen is proof that you’re still alive and kicking. Doctors get excited when they see that pulse moving up and down, and you should too, because the moment it becomes flat, you’re dead!
While we may wish for a life that is always smooth sailing, the reality is, we will face adversity. No one is exempt. When one is facing trouble, it may be difficult to appreciate the challenges. However, the ups and downs indicate that there is life. In Romans 8:28, we are reminded that "all things work together for good” – even the ups and downs. So, in the midst of difficult times, maintain a mountaintop perspective, knowing that God is present in times of trouble. Receive the strength of the Lord right now! You will not flatline! I decree and declare you will not faint in Jesus’ mighty name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I can endure all things, for I have grace for every challenge. When adversity comes, my strength will not fail, for the Lord is with me. Glory!

GET OUT OF THE FISHBOWL
2 Kings 6:1 (GW)
The disciples of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we’re staying is too small for us.
Have you heard of the fascinating phenomenon where koi fish grow to the size of their container? It's true! These majestic creatures have a unique ability to adapt their growth to the size of their environment. This is achieved through a combination of genetic and environmental factors that allow them to adjust their metabolism and rate of growth accordingly.
For example, a koi fish living in a small bowl will grow much slower and smaller than one living in a larger pond. In fact, some koi fish have been known to grow up to three feet in length when given enough space! It's hard to imagine a majestic koi fish with the capacity to grow up to three feet confined to a 10-inch fishbowl. Yet, many Christians limit themselves by staying within the confines of their comfort zone. Growth requires us to step outside of our boundaries, to doubt our doubts and embrace new experiences.
Don't let fear hold you back from living the life that God has created for you. Our God cannot be limited, and neither should you! Just like the koi fish can only grow to its full potential in a larger pond, break free from any limitations and reach your true potential.

With God I am a majority! Therefore, I refuse to think small. I am BIG!

MAKE THE MOST OF IT
1 Timothy 6:17 (NCV)
Command those who are rich with things of this world not to be proud. Tell them to hope in God, not in their uncertain riches. God richly gives us everything to enjoy.
‘Abuse’ is a term used to describe any behaviour that is harmful, hurtful, or violent towards another person. For example, physical abuse involves hitting, punching, or any other form of physical harm. Emotional abuse involves humiliation, belittling, or any behaviour that undermines a person's self-worth. Sexual abuse involves any non-consensual sexual activity. Financial abuse involves withholding income or controlling finances, leaving victims feeling powerless. Psychological abuse involves threatening behaviour or any action that causes fear or anxiety.
In general, abuse is any abnormal use or neglect of anything beneficial. Neglecting your health is abusing your body, while worrying and being fearful instead of believing and acting on the Word of God is abusing your faith. You can abuse your prayer life by not making it your lifestyle. You can even abuse your finances by not starting or stewarding your business to produce the money it should give you. Take a moment to reflect on your life and ask yourself what you're not utilizing as you should. Remember that God has given you everything you need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). Make the most of what you have been given and live your life to the fullest!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
In this year of Heaven on Earth, I will take care of and utilize to the fullest every good thing God has given me.

GOD’S WALL OF DEFENSE
Matthew 26:41 (NLT)
Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
Walls played a vital role in medieval warfare and provided a significant advantage to defenders. They formed a formidable barrier against enemy forces, helping to protect the inhabitants and resources within the fortified area. Walls were also important for creating a sense of identity and community among the residents. Walls are still used as defense systems in certain situations today. Some countries use walls along their borders as a means of protecting against security threats. Military installations, high-security facilities, and historical sites also use walls to prevent unauthorized access.
God also uses a wall of defense to protect and preserve what is precious and valuable to Him, and that wall is you. Just as a city's wall of defense needs regular maintenance to remain strong and resilient, you also require consistent input and support from the bricks of the Word and a well-fortified life of prayer. As God's chosen defense in your family, workplace, church, community, and country, your presence shields against enemy attacks and enables God’s will to prevail. With you standing guard, the enemy's plans are thwarted, and God's victory is assured!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am God’s wall of defense. I am the wall of fire for my family, business, church, and community. I barricade the enemy’s advances with my prayers! As I pray, there is no doubt that victory is enforced!

POWER TO CONTROL
Galatians 5:22 (TLB)
But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
As an observer of nature, it's clear that when a house is neglected, nature quickly takes over. Animals will make their homes inside, while plants will overgrow. The very same animals and plants that were once prevented from entering the property by its owners will now claim it as their domain. This highlights the importance of man's responsibility to dominate and manage what's been created. The same applies to your own physical dwelling – your body. Unless it's properly maintained, it will soon exert control over you.
Many people think of the lust of the flesh only in sexual terms. However, controlling our appetite for food is equally important. Apostle Paul said he put his body under subjection every day. This means disciplining one's body rather than letting the appetites of the flesh control.
You too can exercise control over your appetite. Try this simple exercise. The next time you feel hungry, wait a few minutes before eating, even if food is right in front of you. This small change reminds your flesh that you’re in control and can help you take charge of your appetite.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My appetites are under the influence of the Holy Ghost. I create an environment of Heaven on Earth in my physical body by prioritizing my spirit and exercising self-control.

Open source software is a type of software that allows users to access its source code and modify it as per their needs. The software can be freely used, distributed, and modified by anyone. Open source software is often more secure, as flaws and vulnerabilities can be identified and fixed by the developer. Users can modify the software to suit their specific needs, and there are no licensing fees. In short, open source software empowers users to take control of their technology and customize it per their requirements.
My life is open source, which means you don't have to start from scratch like I did to get to where I am today. Instead, all you have to do is copy my code – the way I live and the things I do. Think of it like this: my highest achievements are the ceiling, and once you've copied my code, that ceiling becomes your floor. Every upgrade in my life means an upgrade in yours. So don't let any doubts or limitations hold you back. Take advantage of my grace and use my code to upgrade your life. It’s free for free!

PRAY IN ADVANCE
James 5:16 (AMPC)
… The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
Prayer is the bedrock of Christianity, and your prayers are protocol that prepare the way for you. If you wait until you are in trouble to pray, you are too late. The scripture reminds us that prayer makes tremendous power available. This power is not just for the moment but for the future as well. We do not wait for problems to arise before we begin to pray, but rather we pray ahead.
You can bank prayer. The more you pray, the bigger your deposits in the spiritual realm. When you pray ahead, you are not only preparing yourself for what is to come, but you are also demonstrating your faith in God. You are declaring that you trust His plans for your life and believe in the efficacy of His Spirit to aid you in prayer to address every situation. So, begin to pray ahead and deposit into your prayer banks. Refuse to enter a day that has not been prepared by prayer. You will confidently and boldly draw from these reserves when you face challenges, knowing that your securities are backed by the parliament of Heaven.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is built on the bedrock of prayer. My messengers have gone ahead of me. No challenge will catch me unaware, and every enemy will be disappointed.

JOY FROM WITHIN
Galatians 5:22 (KJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
The joy of the Lord cannot be found in material possessions or worldly pleasures. As Christians, we know that true joy is the outworking of the Spirit of God in us. The Psalmist declares that in the Lord’s presence is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Joy is not a fleeting emotion but rather a state of being that comes from fellowship with God through the consumption of the Word and prayer. We find joy in Him.
His joy uplifts us and enables us to see the world from our position in Christ, far above anything that could trouble us. The Apostle Paul reminds us to "Rejoice in the Lord always." (Philippians 4:4). Joy is our way of life. When we live a life of joy, we are able to share that joy with others, spreading hope and encouragement wherever we go. As we fellowship with God's presence and allow His joy to fill us, we become beacons of light in a dark world. In this year of Heaven on Earth, the joy of the Lord will be your strength!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

RESPOND
Luke 7:30 (NKJV)
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
Have you ever noticed that when tragedy strikes, God is usually the first One blamed? When calamity befalls a person, often the cry is, “Why did God allow this to happen?” As Christians, we know that God is not out to punish us or exact revenge; in fact, His Word assures of quite the opposite. However, in moments of distress and despair, when a person’s mind is clouded by fearfulness and grief, the will of God often comes into question.
God’s will, however, is not a mystery. His will is His Word, and in His Word, He makes it clear that His desire is not for anyone to suffer or perish. Instead, He wants everyone to experience the abundance of blessings He has provided through Christ. However, it’s possible to reject the will of God. He does not force His will on anyone because His love demands your free will. So, when you look into the Word of God and see His glorious will for your life, understand that it is not automatic. You must respond in faith by acting on what you believe. He loves you enough to give you a choice. Love Him enough to say “Yes!”

MOTIVATED BY LOVE
Philippians 2:4 (AMP)
Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
In an age of rising technologies and waves of self-centeredness, it can be challenging to maintain a godly outlook. With nearly unlimited access to resources tailored for this ‘me, myself, and I’ generation, the focus is often solely on ourselves with little regard for those around us. With social media networks emboldening these individualistic mindsets, every day many of us are faced with decisions: where should my attention go? Who or what should I prioritize?
As Christians, we can combat this rampant ‘me’ culture by committing ourselves completely to the crucified life and its principles. This means rejecting selfishness, putting aside our own ambitions for the sake of the Gospel and advancing the Kingdom of God, and allowing God’s love to dictate how we respond to difficult situations. Though this world may tell us the way to go is to be selfish and follow mandates meant only to gain earthly pleasure or material possessions, let’s instead focus on sacrificially loving each other without compromising to worldly standards. In this sea of ‘me, myself, and I,’ the crucified life is a beautiful beacon of hope!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the Lord’s bondservant. His love prevails over every decision, and I exchange selfish ambition for God’s vision.

THE SECRET TO AGELESSNESS
Psalm 118:17 (KJV)
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The pursuit of eternal youth is a tale as old as time, and in today's world, the anti-ageing age-defying cosmetic industry is thriving like never before. Valued at an astounding $58.5 billion in 2020, this rapidly growing market shows no signs of slowing down, with projections reaching $83.2 billion by 2027. Society's deep-rooted desire for a youthful appearance and the fear of ageing and death fuel this relentless quest for agelessness, making it one of the most lucrative industries in the world.
However, the fountain of youth is already within you! It isn't hiding in a product but originates from the Word of God which gave you life. When you became the righteous of God, you gained the power to remain ageless, and the self-regenerating life that is in God is also in you. All you need to do is stay conscious of this truth. Believe that you can put on incorruptibility – wear it every day like a pair of overalls by using your words to ignite the life of God within you. Dare to believe; embrace agelessness in your mortal body!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

WHOSE BADGE ARE YOU WEARING?
John 14:30 (MSG)
The chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don’t worry—he has nothing on Me, no claim on me.
At Spirit Embassy, the GoodNews Church, God gave us a physical representation of our spiritual identification, which we call our GoodNews badge. This badge transcends a mere fashion accessory. The symbols etched upon it represent our collective spiritual identity and serve as a sacred reminder of our Prophet's calling, the vision of our ministry, and God's unending grace. There is a grace attached to the wearers of this badge such that they are marked in the realm of the spirit and identified with everything the badge represents.
Who you identify with is crucial. The Bible warns that the devil is a cannibalistic creature, preying on those who are like him. He seeks out that which connects someone to him and makes them an easy target. However, by embracing the message of grace, you can render yourself undevourable to the devil and fortify yourself against his attacks. Grace is the only weapon against which the devil has no defence. Grace empowers you to reject anything that aligns with the devil. Marinate yourself in the message of grace, and proclaim confidently, "The devil has no power over me!"

WHAT IS YOUR REPUTATION?
Philippians 2:7 (KJV)
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
In this day and age, we hear constantly that your reputation is everything. You're most likely to get that business deal or access to that connection because of good reputation. People will even spend money they don't have just to uphold a certain reputation.
In todays' scripture, we're told that our prime example; The Lord Jesus made himself of no reputation. It wasn’t people who made him lose his reputation by slandering him, no, he made himself of no reputation, he chose it. He was focused on doing the Fathers will and not that of those around him - he was focused on integrity.
As a Christian, you should have no reputation. Don't try to keep a reputation that keeps you looking good in the eyes of man yet your relationship with God is bad. Reputation is what man thinks of you, integrity is what God thinks of you. As long as God knows your heart that's what matters. Work on your relationship with your Father even more from this day – go even deeper. Integrity with Him is what counts!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

A HEART UNITED IN PRAYER
Psalm 86:11 (KJV)
Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
There are so many Christians who suffer from a serious deficiency of praying the wrong way. Some will pray long hours saying the wrong thing and wonder why things still don’t work in their lives. Remember it’s not about how long you pray but how right you pray.
So how does one pray based on today’s scripture? David said ‘unite’ my heart, and this gives us a clue as to how we ought to pray. When you pray, focus your attention on the Lord, and be conscious of what you’re praying about. Some people pray about so many things, and a moment later, they don’t remember what they just said. If you don’t remember what you prayed about, how would you know when God answers? So there needs to be a unity of heart, a focus on a specific desired outcome for a specific thing.
Unite your heart, turn off any distractions. Write your specific prayer points, meditate on scriptures that cover your case and expect an outcome, that’s a heart united. When you have made your definite request to the Lord, rejoice, and give Him glory, knowing that it’s done.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is united and focused today as I decree and declare a successful day, week, month and year, in Jesus Name! Amen.

THE PROTOCOL OF FEAR
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Who would’ve thought that fear brings you good health? When most Christians hear the word fear, they immediately think of it in the negative. The word fear here is the word ‘Yare’; it means to reverence. It’s a healthy kind of fear that holds God with the highest honour.
The one who understands reverence is the one who knows the mind of the Lord, and the one who knows the mind of the Lord can instruct God! God said, “I am the Lord … that confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers” (Isaiah 44:26). When you follow the protocol of fear, you speak, and God backs up what you say with His own integrity!
Fear is a major component of the deeper life phase. It will cause you to choose things, not based on your appetite, but according to what God wants. Practise the dimension of reverence, of fear! Let your words be few. If you want to experience more or be used to do exploits in these end times, fear God!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I stand in reverence of the Lord God I serve! As a result, every word I speak is backed up by Him. I cannot fail today or ever in Jesus Mighty Name!

CHEER UP! THE WORD WORKS!
John 16:33 (KJV)
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.
If you look at the state the world is in, there’s hunger, poverty, insecurity, sickness and disease, death and despair – I could go on. But this is the difference between you and those suffering these worldly calamities: You are in Christ and He is in you. God never lied to us; He told us that we were going to experience tribulation, but he didn’t end there. He said be of good cheer despite what you see, why? Because He already won the battle against ALL bad things’ hallelujah!
It’s only when you look outside Christ that you become overwhelmed by troubles and corrupting influences in the world. He said, “In me, there’s peace; cheer up.” That’s His Word unto you, nothing in this world can put you down.
There’s success in life that’s independent of the world’s economics. True peace and prosperity are only found in Christ. Start speaking that peace and success. Declare it over your communities and nations. Stay in Christ, for in Christ you’ve overcome Satan, the world and its failing systems.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Despite a failing world - I am not moved by it. I move and live in Christ! I am blessed beyond measure and like any day, today is going to be just amazing! Amen.

JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST
Romans 14:17 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
There are some Christians that have received the Holy Spirit, yet their hearts are full of troubles; they’re worried about many things. They’re worried about their children, their health, business, etc. They just seem to have so many reasons to not be happy. When you ask them how they’re doing, they always have one negative thing to say or the other. Today’s verse shows us there’s a relationship between joy and the Holy Ghost. There is no way you can be a spirit filled Christian and not be full of joy, never! Only babes in Christ who don’t realise who they are can live that way.
You might say, “With the things happening in my life, I need a change of environment; I need to travel somewhere I can really be happy.” No! Don’t look to anything external to give you joy. Joy is one of the fruits of your recreated human spirit. So, it’s in you. Your spirit produces endless joy. It’s called, “...joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8).
Be joyful ALWAYS! The Spirit of God does more for you in an atmosphere of joy and happiness than bleakness and misery. So, make up your mind to be joyful, today, and always.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have joy that comes from the inner man and transcends physical circumstances. My joy is of the Spirit, and independent of circumstances; I’m ever strong for the joy of the Lord is my strength! Hallelujah!

EQUALITY WITH DIVINITY
2 Peter 1:4 (KJV)
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Did you know that as a Christian, though you have a country of origin, a culture and a traceable genealogy you’re actually born of God? Your very origin is in God; you’re born of Him; you came from Him.
Today’s verse shows the Christian isn’t an ordinary person; he’s a partaker of the divine nature. My prayer is that you understood what that means! It means you’re in God’s class of being, you’re an associate of the God-kind. So, when you say you’re more than a conqueror, this is what it’s about; you’re not merely quoting scriptures. This is a reality.
As He is, so are we in this world; meaning that as He’s divine, so are we divine.
Divine health is your nature, not a hope or promise from God, because you’re born of God’s incorruptible seed - His Word. Therefore, the life in you can’t be corrupted by sickness, disease, or death. Refuse to accept that it’s “normal” or okay for a Christian to be sick; it’s not.
Meditate on this truth until it sinks in your spirit and becomes your experience. Refuse to accommodate anything that’s inconsistent with your equality with divinity.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is full of glory, dominion, and excellence. Therefore, I walk conscious of my divine nature today and always, reigning over Satan and his cohorts of Hell, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

WHAT’S YOUR WEIGHT?
Proverbs 16:2 (KJV)
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
No matter how highly gifted or anointed you are, when it’s mixed with pride, it’s not acceptable to God. In my time ministering the Word of God around the world, I’ve seen highly spiritually gifted Christians, including pastors, whose work turned to emptiness, because they weren’t walking in humility, everything they did was pure in their own eyes but not to God. You see God doesn’t look at the size of your church building to determine your success, nor does he look at your bank account or the number of followers you have, he weighs the heart.
Everything you do in the house of God is an offering to Him; But God won’t accept your offering if it’s mixed with selfishness and greed; pomposity, pride and arrogance. Greatness in the house of God isn’t measured by some results that you have achieved or attained. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:5, “God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourself, do a little introspection today and correct yourself through the scriptures.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Pride, arrogance, haughtiness, or egotism have no place in me, for I walk in love and humility. I am experiencing ever-increasing greatness and unlimited progress in life as a result, in Jesus Name!

I AM A POSSESSOR OF NATIONS
Psalm 2:8 (KJV)
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Is it possible for God’s power to be confined or made of zero effect? Emphatically yes! There are certain instances that no matter what, things simply will not shift in your life because the power of God in you is short circuited. Why or how? you might ask; well, God is confined to your words. Whatsoever you say is what He will do.
You see, today’s scripture gives insight into the magnitude of God´s desires for you to function in. He said I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. Notice how it doesn’t say I will give you a new house or a new car. While those are still necessary, God is saying think bigger, think NATIONS! That’s how big your scope should be.
Gone are the days of all-night prayer and fasting for a small loan from the bank or for a new job, think “I am a possessor of Nations!” When you pray for small things, God is limited to that prayer. Open your mind to greater things! Look square in the mirror and tell yourself; “I am too global to be local”. Glory!!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a possessor of Nations! I think Big, Act Big and Achieve Big! Hallelujah!

ENJOY WHAT YOU WORK FOR!
Ecclesiastes 3:13 (KJV)
And also, that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Life is a gift, and a calling from God. Everything in life, including the world around you, was created for your benefit. All you need to enjoy life to the full is to be who God called you to be as you stay in the Word. Some Christians work flat out day in and day out, the workload is so extensive that the money they get seems like a curse rather than a blessing.
The scripture says eat, drink, and enjoy the good of your labour. You can have and enjoy your best life now if you simply make the decision to. You don’t have to wait for the government of your country to set things right and make society conducive before you enjoy your life. You don’t wait for a job promotion or for clients to flock to your store – learn to enjoy your life even before you hit your expected milestones.
You have been called into God’s rest. Take charge of your life and enjoy it to its fullest, for God has made you a sharer, partner and participator of the divine nature.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am ready to enjoy a refreshing life in Christ, now! I shall enjoy the good of my labour more than ever as it is a gift of God to do so! I am blessed beyond measure. Amen.

BAD COMPANY
1 Corinthians 15:33 (AMP)
Do not be deceived: Bad company ruins good morals.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen people with so much potential waste it all away because they tagged themselves to bad company. It is a sad thing to see. People get messed-up when they get involved with a messed-up person.
If you’ve had or have friends with whom you’re not experiencing any meaningful spiritual progress, or whose friendship hinders your effectiveness in the Gospel, it’s high time you gave up such friendships. Don’t negotiate; just end it, so your Christian life becomes exactly what God said it should be.
One precious woman, some years back, came to me asking for a blessing to perform catchy praise songs in nightclubs and pubs as a form of evangelism. I told her expressly not to do it as God had shown me the same lady falling by the wayside as a result. She didn’t listen, and of course, as sure as I had seen it, she became a secular music singer complete with an abominable lifestyle and skimpy outfits befitting nightclubs. What happened? Bad company! You have those ‘baddies’ in your phone right now- start deleting!
Do not be deceived. Bad people make you bad too, stay away from them.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am cultured in the godly life and way of doing things. Bad company is not my portion, so I remove it from my life now, in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

PRAYING FOR THOSE OVER YOU
Ephesians 6:19 (KJV)
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
Praying for those over you ought to be an essential part of your prayer life. Paul shows here that it is the prayers of the saints that enable ministers to fearlessly preach the gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Ministry is no easy feat and not without challenges, so prayer strengthens those who’re at the helm of it. Your prayers also grant more grace to preach the Gospel with boldness and power, that many more souls are added to the Church all around the world.
So, take time out today to pray that men and women of God, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers, and Pastors and all those who take on lead roles in churches are given utterance and emboldened by the Holy Spirit. As you pray, more souls come to the knowledge of Christ as a result.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I speak a strengthening, an equipping, divine health, boldness, more wisdom, more knowledge of the word and provision to all Ministers of the Gospel in Jesus Name! More souls shall come to the knowledge of Christ as a result, in Jesus Name!

WHAT DID GOD SAY?
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith and fear work in the exact same way. Fear comes by hearing the words of the devil just as faith comes be hearing the Word of God. It is so essential for a Christian to always remember the words; “What did God say?”
If you get a bad diagnosis, you must ask yourself this question. When all odds seem stacked up against you, ask yourself the question. What is God’s take in this matter? What does the Bible say? Understand brothers and sisters, God will never be part and parcel of sickness, nor will He be a part of abject poverty or a family breakdown. All bad comes from the devil. So, you cannot be lied to by the enemy that you deserve blood pressure because it runs in the family, that’s fear being instilled in you by listening to negativity.
Never yield to fear because of an evil report. An evil report is any report that’s not consistent with the provisions of the Gospel; anything that negates your rights, privileges, ability, and heritage in Christ Jesus. Get enough of the word of God in you and grow in faith.
Always ask; “What did God say?”

USE THE NAME!
John 16:23 (NIV)
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Jesus gave us the power of attorney to use His Name, which means when we pray, we’re standing in His stead and making requests to our father. Notice how he says you ask THE FATHER, in MY NAME and HE (The Father) is the one who does the giving – not me, but HE! Do you see that?
As a Christian in this dispensation, you are to live in the Name of Jesus; function in His place, with His authority, and in His character. This is the greatest treasure prophets and patriarchs of old only saw glimpses of in the realm of the spirit. Take advantage of this Name New Testament Christian!
Colossians 3:17 says, “…whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks….” When you pray, it carries the same power and authority as though Jesus Himself were the one praying. It’s a legal thing; He gave us the power of attorney to use His Name and live in His Name.
It doesn’t matter what challenges you might be facing; if you use the Name of Jesus, victory is assured hallelujah!

ACKNOWLEDGE OTHERS
1 Corinthians 16:17-18 (KJV)
I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
If you are not already, imagine being relied upon as the one who makes things happen in church. For your man of God to stand there and acknowledge you as the one who covers every area that others lack. What a life of servitude! A Heaven on Earth kind of life!
When you look around you, there are such people everywhere. Some remain unsung heroes, while others are very visible. They take on the job of ten men and will never mutter a single complaint. The zeal of the house of The Lord consumes them. There are people in ministry, in your branch specifically, that make up for the lack of others.
Such men and women deserve recognition. Today’s scripture teaches us just that. So today, go ahead and acknowledge those who supply where others have not and while you do so, choose to become that person today. Become a modern-day Stephanas and be counted among those who refresh the body of Christ in every way!

SECOND CHANCES
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
God is the God of second chances and a thousand chances plus! The Bible is full of people who got a second chance. Abraham, who is called the father of faith, pretended his wife was his sister because he didn’t have faith that God would protect him. Moses murdered someone.
Jonah ran from his assignment. Rahab worked as a prostitute and is in the lineage of The Lord Jesus. David committed adultery and had the woman’s husband killed and yet all those aforementioned are in God’s “hall of fame”, in Hebrews 11. God loves to give second chances, He’s a God of grace! This is the GoodNews we preach! If you had to score points to receive God’s grace, no one would stand a chance!
So, forget the former things and don’t dwell on the past. God has started a new thing in you. Embrace it, grow in the Word and in grace, and never look back! The old you is long dead!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

WHO’S JUDGING?
1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (KJV)
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
There is so much talk in society today about judgement. Whether it’s not wanting to be judged, or the judgment of God on people, or debates about judging others, it is a confusing subject for many. But what does the Bible actually says about it? Today’s verse says by our OWN spirits, we can tell when we've done something wrong, so we ought to judge ourselves so that we might not be judged of the Lord.
When you examine yourself and find fault, act on the Word of God: receive forgiveness. You don't ask for forgiveness, which is where a lot of people miss it. Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy…" Notice it doesn't say, "… and ask for mercy?" Instead, it says "to obtain," that is, collect it.
As you go out today, let your spirit, which has the nature of God, judge you, so that you might not be judged of the Lord.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am blessed to have the nature of Christ in me. I therefore walk up to the throne room of grace to obtain mercy. I am not condemned hallelujah! Thank you, Dear Lord Jesus!

ENDORSED BY THE LORD JESUS
Colossians 3:17 (KJV)
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Whatever you’ll do today or for the rest of your life, ask yourself this question, is this endorsed by The Lord Jesus? Is it something he’ll nod his head to in agreement? Can you do that thing and say in the Name of Jesus this is good? Can you give thanks to God our Father while doing it? Those words you’re about to utter – are they Christ-like?
The book of Colossians points to something here that is extremely profound. If this is the standard by which Christians lived by, just imagine how many colossal mistakes would have been avoided. Before you speak that gossip, you think on this verse, as the temptation to do that bad thing comes to you, you remember Colossians. Try this simple exercise before you start your day, tell yourself; whatever I say or do, I shall do it in the name of Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him!
Tell yourself if it’s not endorsed by The Lord Jesus then I will not say it, nor will I do it!

MANIFEST YOUR IDENTITY
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The demonstration of power from on high is part of this package, but very few Christians are walking in that power. You are infused with God's DNA in Christ and set apart to be a sign and a wonder to your generation, but nobody knows you. The power is resident in you doing nothing; until you begin to use that power, it will profit you nothing. Until you start to exercise that power of God that is resident in you, your life will not show forth His glory, God has already given you power, it's left with you to use it.
The workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus connotes God's masterpiece. God took His precious time to mold you. You are His body parts; you are fashioned in God's image with divine elements to act like God, to establish things as God will exactly do. If you realize that you are a partaker of God's divine nature in the true sense, you will act differently, come to that consciousness today and move in the power and authority of Christ. What is most needed in the body of Christ today is the demonstration of power. The whole creation awaits the sons of God to manifest.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is a replica of God's divine nature. I move in power; my environment will be impacted in this year of Heaven on Earth. I will always portray God's character and nature in me. I carry God's DNA and will be a proof-producing Christian. Amen!

BE CONSUMED WITH KINGDOM'S WORK
Psalms 69:9 (KJV)
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Notice here the kind of zeal or passion spoken about in this scripture. It's the zeal that is kingdom-minded; your focus and thinking is on ministry without second thoughts. When you are consumed by the house, things of the ministry become your priority. I tell people that ministry is full-time and any other thing is part-time. The demands of ministry in modern times have far surpassed what is considered normal. There is a huge chunk of the world out there without Christ, and we are given the mandate to win them over.
This should be a burden that should give you sleepless nights to think about ways and means to snatch them from the impending storm. You see, a global mission will require a global budget. When you are very much on fire for Jesus, there will be no hesitation to sponsor the gospel. This is a year where money will be heaped up like gold dust, hence the name "The Year of Money". This money that is coming is for a targeted mission to support the work of God and advance God's kingdom. No more time to play; we have gone deeper already. Let your zeal and passion for Christ be seen in every area of your life.

COUNTERATTACK
Luke 8:22 (KJV)
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
I can remember vividly sometime in the year of ‘WONDERS WITHOUT NUMBER’, I am talking about 2022, I was on a flight, and the turbulence was frantically harassing the plane from every direction. I realize this wasn't normal turbulence but spiritual apparatus in operation, contrary to our mission. At a certain point, it was like being tossed by a voracious storm! I couldn't hold my peace any longer and blasted with a shout that was heard by those closest to me and a loud bang on the fuselage, and immediately the turbulence ceased.
Most of the time, the general belief is that Christians are calm, quiet, collected, and weak; even when the boat is sinking, and as if eternity is now at hand while going under, this is a grave error! This is the year of Heaven on Earth; experience Heaven on Earth now instead of giving up on your dreams and brilliant projects. You are a conqueror; live like it. Let the king inside you exert the authority over the circumstance, not under the circumstance, and your victory shall surprise many; Jesus is in your boat; hence, all other factors become insignificant.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall rise to the occasion, no more timidity. With Christ in me, I have what it takes to counter-attack my attackers. My life can never go in circles, everything is working for my good and my destination is guaranteed in Jesus name. Amen!

PROSPERITY IS PART OF THE PACKAGE
Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
One of my non-negotiables is this: prosperity is mine, anything contrary to this is of the devil, and I reject it. Poverty is of the devil that comes to rob you of your peace, joy, health, and your very life; while prosperity comes to establish your joy, peace, health, and fullness of life. God's Word is very clear that He will bless you so that you become a blessing. You are blessed beyond measure to lend to nations and borrow from none!
One of the reasons why God gave this year's theme also as the "Year of Money" for those in business is to ensure the transfer of wealth from the hands of the wicked to the hands of the righteous whose intent is bent on sponsoring the GoodNews to every village, town, city, and country. It's this tradition of equating poverty with holiness that has made the Word of God of no effect in several Christian communities today. I don't preach a prosperity gospel as some would suggest, no, I preach the GoodNews of God's grace that contains prosperity within the package. I speak prosperity now; money will know your address in Jesus' name. Amen!

God in his divine planning, had already mapped out your whole life, but most of the time, Christians want to see the whole plan before they can truly accept its validity. God's plan cannot be aborted for your life when you are in sync with the Holy Spirit. God knew beforehand in this year of Heaven on Earth, that you would be reading this prophetic messenger called "The GoodNews Daily". Nothing catches God unawares or surprises him. He's the author and finisher of our faith. God is not slow; His timing is perfect when you abide in Him.
Remember, God is doing the calling here, and the faithfulness of God never fails. He said several times in His Word that "His faithfulness will never fail (Psalm 89:33 KJV). I have seen in the prophetic where God's Word spoken through me came to pass, and people ask, how did he do it? Don't forget that it's God who is talking through me, and so, when He speaks, He ensures the performance of what has been spoken. I have said several times that in ministry when God gives you a vision, He supplies the provisions to execute the vision. When in ministry and constantly struggling with provisions, then there is a need for a revision of your vision.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a proof-producing Christian called to greatness. I walk in God's divine plans for my life and will not take a detour. My walk with God will create in me the knowledge and strength to experience Heaven on Earth. Amen!

POWER IN THE WORD
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Word of God, according to this scripture, is "living": it breathes, it sees, it moves, it reasons. This signifies the more of the Word of God in you, the more you are able to capture the thoughts and intents of men. God's Word can go on a mission and accomplish it without fail, yes God sends His Word and heals them. Let's go deeper on this one: John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God". This same Word became flesh and dwelt amongst men, and we beheld the glory of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth. That's Jesus!
The Holy Spirit lives in you to do exploits for Christ. In this year of Heaven on Earth, just speak the Word with boldness, and you will surprise yourself to see complex situations evaporate. It's an error to have the living, breathing two-edged sword living in you, yet headaches and fever want to pin you down and you don't speak the Word. Begin to speak the Word over your family, your business, your finances and provoke a change in the name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am shielded in His Word, protected by His spirit, yes, Christ in me the hope of glory. I shall never be defeated, I shall speak boldly the Word of God to enact changes in my life!

HONOUR THAT REFRESHES
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (KJV)
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Why will Apostle Paul deem it important to mention "highly esteemed" in respecting leaders placed over you? God is the one who chooses a vessel, so by honouring that Man of God, you are honouring God. A Man of God carries a degree of grace; hence your level of submission, honour and respect will trigger the anointing they carry working for you. The anointing that you truly honour and respect will certainly work for you. The moment you decide to unconditionally honour those placed over you even in leadership, the sooner your life will experience growth.
There is a lot that a Man of God does behind the scenes. Remember, he's a man of God, not your man, so holding a man of God in the highest esteem is honouring God, who chose him. The man of God is the vessel that God uses to bless you, so you have a responsibility to honour him.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I will be deliberate and choose to honour and respect those that are placed over me. I shall be a son of consolation, prepare to honour those placed over me in deeds and in words, and I will shine forth wherever I go in the name of Jesus. Amen!

THE PEACE OF GOD
Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The scripture for today is very clear that when your mind is focused on God, unmovable regardless of situations, God himself will keep you. In other words, the safety and security you are looking for, can only be found in God. Your trust in God is derived from his Word which is full of promises concerning you. Remember that we are in this world but not of this world. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5 KJV). The mind of Christ does not entertain stress or anxiety. The mind of Christ is not troubled by current events, nor gets frustrated when faced with circumstances.
We live in a world where peace is very elusive. We see around us confusion and chaos. We hear of peace accords, peace treaties and peace agreements, but rarely are such engagements honored or respected. Only King Jesus, the prince of peace, can offer lasting and durable peace to a world in turmoil. God's peace surpasses human understanding because it's not worldly. God's peace is not derived from things and accolades but from inner satisfaction generated through your fellowship with the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit takes over, your finances will gain stability; your spiritual growth will be outstanding for all to see.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My peace is of God, which is indestructible; my life is a manifestation of God's peace; it emanates from within me. I cannot be broken by circumstances, I shall come out stronger, better and bigger in Jesus name!

GOD'S BATTLE PLANS
Hosea 1:7 (KJV)
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Understand this, the vicissitudes of life will demand more to obtain the victory you need than the physical realm can provide. A Christian isn't excused from attacks of the enemy, and in fact, sometimes it gets worse once you have made the bold decision to follow Christ. The reality you now live in Christ should be dependent on the workings of the Holy Spirit that is resident in you, not yourself. That's why Apostle Paul can boastfully say: "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13.
Understand this, God's strategy for winning is deliberately expressed in His Word concerning you. He said He knows the plans He thinks towards you; they are thoughts of peace and not of evil (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV). Right there, we know that whatever is evil is not of God. God's thought process is articulated clearly: He thinks of giving us hope and an expected end. When there seems to be a derailment of my expected end, I know it's the enemy, not God. The GoodNews is God who knows the end from the beginning is in control, and your victory is already guaranteed!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am already victorious in my undertakings as God's agenda is the focus. I am abiding in God as he abides in me. I cannot fail in life as the Holy Spirit leads me. Amen!

EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF
Luke 7:13 (AMP)
When the Lord saw her, He felt [great] compassion for her, and said to her, "Do not weep".
The moment you are moved, you instantly open yourself to reach out to another level of grace where healing begins to flow through your body to your extremities and then when you touch the sick, they recover. If there is no movement within you that will align with the person's plight and create an atmosphere where the power of God will flow, then you have embarked on a futile exercise.
It is difficult or impossible if you are not moved by the plights, needs, and infirmities of others, which is like feeling the intestine twisting to cause excruciating pains to yourself, yet you want God to use you to heal them! The element of compassion could be there, but it requires being stirred on the inside in the first instant. Being moved makes something unexplainable to be triggered in your spirit. It's like feeling the pains of the person needing healing. To heal the cancer sufferer, the diabetic, the deaf and dumb; you have to feel what they feel from the inside out, then God's healing power will flow from your extremities as you draw close to the sick.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall walk in the healing power of God. I am anointed to heal the sick. Therefore, I shall feel what they feel, I shall experience what they experience and God's power will flow through me to them as I lay my hands on them, they shall recover in the name of Jesus.

GRACE EXTENDED
Acts 20:24 (AMP)
But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God's [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].
When I started preaching and teaching the grace message, even Christians didn't understand the revelation. Therefore, they negatively interpreted the whole meaning of the grace message. It must be stated emphatically here that grace is not a license to sin. It's the goodness of God that leads one to repentance. When God's goodness overwhelms you, you are bound to take a detour as you are constantly marinated in His love. The amplified text puts it clearly that it's an "underserved", "precious" gift that liberates you from the guilt of sin, which is simply missing the mark.
The reality of grace is so strong that when you think that you blew it this time, God continues to lavish you with unending love. God never stops loving you in your missteps. Apostle Pauls highlighted it in Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a product of God's unending love and care. I have been called forth to partake of the goodness of God's grace. This gift is just too good to believe, but yes, it's true, the reality I live in now in this year of Heaven on Earth. Amen!

GOD OF THE BIBLE LIVES IN YOU!
Deuteronomy 2:25 (KJV)
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole Heaven, who shall hear report of thee and be in anguish because of thee.
The children of Israel's departure from Egypt were predicated upon the Word of God spoken to Moses that they would possess a land flowing with milk and honey. God was their Global Positioning System (GPS) who navigated them through the scorching heat of the desert under the canopy of a cloud by day to absorb the heat and pillar of fire by night to give them warmth from the freezing temperatures at night. God's strategy of preserving their lives was unique and unprecedented. This is the same God we serve whose strategy is to dwell in us now so that there is no occasional residence but a permanent abode.
Notice with God's spirit in you, your mere presence will provoke someone because of whose you are. When you appear on the scene, you will be the influencer, and what you say will carry weight and power. This is who you are in Christ. You are called to disciple nations, break the back of poverty that had raided your family for generations, and serve as a magnet to attract money in this year of Heaven on Earth.

LET'S GET TO WORK
1 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)
I planted, Appollos watered, but God gave the increase.
It's often said that God doesn't need your ability but your availability. God is the One who qualifies the called. When you disqualify yourself to God's service and feel weak, understand that God's strength is made perfect in your weakness. When you make yourself available, there is always something to do in the house of the Lord. There is one particular area where everyone is qualified, and that's in giving to ensure that the GoodNews of God's grace is spread abroad to all nations and continents. When you consider this as a form of service, then you know whenever a Man of God travels and performs miracles and healings, you are with him.
The scripture for today speaks of three cycles involved when it comes to service within the body of Christ. Those who initiate the process are the planters, but planting a Church is only the beginning. The Church must be watered with the WORD constantly and consistently. It should excite you to be involved with ministry in whichever department and whatever capacity. The ultimate goal is to advance the kingdom of God. Once you become passionate about any department within the ministry, take it as your calling; don't wait to be asked. Offer to serve.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the calling and gift to participate in the work of the Lord. I can never sit nor be passive anymore, I take it to heart that my service will advance the kingdom of God now and always in Jesus' name!

REFUSE A MYOPIC MINDSET
Numbers 13:33 (KJV)
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
You see right there in the text what the children of Israel are doing to themselves. They have already defeated themselves to combat those they met in the promised land. A myopic mindset is defeatist; self-condemning and demeaning oneself will surely defeat the purposes of God for your life. The Spies' impression that they are too little and could be crushed like human beings stepping on grasshoppers is myopic. Who is keeping that desire and fire to enter business burning in you? Surely, it's the Lord'. He has already started the good work in you. You must apprehend this and begin to move into unchartered territories.
It's about time you start this business that you have long desired, now is the time to go global and create an impact that will survive generations. Today as you are moved by the Holy Spirit, do not relax, don't be like the spies that belittle themselves in their own eyes. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:…." Stop being myopic in your thinking and see God expand the frontiers of possibilities for your rising in Jesus' name.

GET OUT OF YOUR SLUMBER!
Matthew 13:25 (KJV)
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
In this scripture, the enemy didn't plant when the Sower was awake; the enemy didn't appear when the Sower was alert and sowing. The enemy was far removed from the vicinity of the field when the Sower was removed from slumber. The enemy started sowing his lethal tares when the Sower was asleep! This is a year of Heaven on Earth. In Heaven, there is no sleep, no time for a siesta or snoozing. Clearly, that little nap and dozing to sleep is the pathway to give the enemy access to your field, your business, to your finances, to your marriage, to your children, your spouse, to your career!
The problem we have in the Church is most Christians are sleeping; some even take it to Church! In this year of ‘MONEY' for those in business, there is no more time to sleep. Let your eyes be wide open to protect your household from any sudden attack from the enemy. Make sure that every atmosphere in your house is saturated with the presence of the Lord and that you are about your Father's business. The Bible puts it this way in Proverbs 6:10-11 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man”.

DON'T TAKE OFFENCE
Luke 17:1 (KJV)
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
A true Christian must have a teachable spirit to accept correction and take honest rebukes to better their lives. If you decide never to change, of course, the simplest of corrections will be taken as an offense. Unforgiveness swallowed by taking offense is like a slow poison taken by the one who takes offense. This will slowly drain your energy, blur your vision and derail your focus, don't be tricked by the enemy. Never be offended over little things or trivial matters. Choose to be joyful in the face of adversity. Learn to forgive when offended, and don't be the one through whom an offense is perpetrated.
Today's scripture implies that offense is inevitable in our dealings with fellow Christians. However, a spirit-filled Christian shouldn't take offense when corrected. Spiritual growth, at times, cannot happen in isolation or correction. There is a charge upon the man of God to correct and edify, all this is done with love to strengthen the Christian. A father who loves his children will chasten them with the sole intent of building them up for a greater assignment ahead. During prophetic moments I tell people to accept some form of discomfort for a few minutes and experience a glorious life of abundance for a lifetime. Let this be your mindset.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My heart is steadfast on the Lord and will not be moved by offenses regardless of their intensity. I will draw my strength from God's Word and declare victory over every offense in Jesus name!

THE CALL
Matthew 14:29 (KJV)
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Jesus.
The main Word you need to underline in this verse is “come”. The assumptions of the disciples, fears, and apprehension all faded when Jesus mentioned to them, "come". Though in the preceding verse of the same chapter, it was Peter who asked Jesus to be commanded to come, but Jesus simply said "come" without mentioning the name, it means any of the disciples or all of them could have jumped out of the boat and walked on water like Peter.
The fact that Peter bravely took the first step after being commanded by the Lord Jesus means he was eager to put his faith in action, thus defying the molecular viscosity of water by walking on it. As long as Peter looked up to Jesus, he was fine walking on water. The only moment that made Peter sink was when he took his eyes off the Lord.
You must understand as long as you are focused on Jesus, your supernatural experience will be unending, your business will continue to grow, and your impact and relevance will be outstanding. Let Jesus be your focal point, your shield of defense as He continues to say "come," and surely, you will not go down!

GOD'S TECHNOLOGY
Genesis 1:28 (KJV)
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You are God's technology empowered to do exploits from the very moment of creation, the power to subdue, to dominate, and to replenish all knitted in your very being, so shortage and sickness shouldn't be part of your life, because you have the Zoe kind of life to repair any part of your life that is non-functional. By default, your life is a replica of God's life, so fruitfulness and financial abundance are your traits. When you malfunction, stop looking for solutions elsewhere, as you have the technological components to diagnose your faults and provide remedies in God's Word.
God's instruction manual to man is inscribed in today's scripture. Everything that is necessitated for man to function and dominate was infused into him by these words as spoken by God. You can now see why I say that my worth is wrapped up in the words I speak. This goes for every Christian; you have been given dominion over everything, and the gene to be fruitful, multiply and replenish was injected in you. God puts you in charge of His creation with the power to control and dominate what comes against you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

GOD'S FOOT PRINT
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
God formed man out of the dust but breathed the life-giving spirit into him, and man became a living soul. What we must understand is God cannot stoop down to infuse this breath of life into man, it's bowing to man or worshipping man and God cannot worship man. The breath of life was given in a position God deemed fit that man will typify his image and character. The original rendering "lower than god" is lower than Elohim (Mighty God) himself, not angels.
If the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then the demonstration of power is expected of you as a participant in God's divine nature. You cannot carry God's genes and move in isolation of power. No, not possible! Begin to exercise your God-given power with boldness, don't be shy, it will be pride that stops you from speaking as God's oracle. Speak what you want to see in your bank account, speak stability to your business, and expect it to produce. Speak figures and timelines, and you will be shocked at how your life will transform in Jesus' name!

CHEER UP THE WORD WORKS
Matthew 24:7 (KJV)
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
We must realize that the things that happen on the Earth are not random. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. God is the Alpha and Omega, which means the One who starts the beginning after finishing the end. The God who took the time to number the hair strands on your head and is fascinated with every fibre of your being is awesome! When you understand the complexity of yourself from the inside out, then you know God is not mad with you but mad about you. We are at the eschatos, the end of the end, and the words of Jesus are as impactful as the time they were declared, for He sees the end from the beginning.
From today's scripture, you need not be told that we are at the end; all the visible signs are there to see unambiguously. What is happening around us is prophesied long ago by King Jesus Himself. We have experienced pestilences of global proportions never before seen. The GoodNews is, as a Christian, you are not caught unaware as these things happen. The Bible, in fact, tells us to cheer up when these things are taking place because then our redemption is near. Cheer up, the Word works!

SILENCE IS REJECTED
Isaiah 53:7 (KJV)
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
We are getting to a place where sensitivity trumps truth. Christians must understand that we live in a world that attires the devil as a symbol of truth, yet Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the ultimate truth, the very essence, and the definition of truth. Today, we have social media platforms, (moderators of truth) who don't know the truth. A deliberate effort has been made to test Christians’ patience and obedience. Social media platforms fear the influence of God's agenda on the Earth, so they muzzle Christians.
You have to realize that our faith is voice-activated, so we must speak to dismantle hurdles and conquer territories. If we are prohibited from speaking as a Christian, it's like cutting the oxygen supply to a human being. We are mandated in Job 22:28, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" so you see, silence is not an option for us, keep saying it, keep speaking it, and your lifting will be visible for all to see.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS
Romans 14:4 (KJV)
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
My years in ministry taught me so many things, both spiritual and corporeal. As a son of the Apostle to this last dispensation, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, a general in the faith, comes with wisdom. One of the things that I learned from my Man of God is to accept and call anyone what they want to be called. For example, if a Man of God wants to be called "Bishop" you call him "Bishop", or "Archbishop", let it be. Whatever the title claimed, let it be. The Lord Jesus is the Master of us all. I tell people never to sit in a position where they want to play God, for our God alone is a righteous judge.
The scripture for today gives us an idea of how God, who knows the end from the beginning, deals with His servants. The strong phrase at the end of the text, "for the Lord is able to make them stand" should enlighten you to the fact that God is merciful. Whatever you may have heard out there of God's servants, it's the Lord who decides. Your primary responsibility as a Christian in any situation involving a servant of the Lord is to pray, edify and build them where possible.

DEMONSTRATION OF POWER
1 Corinthians 4:20 (KJV)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Evidently, lack of power is absolute proof that God is not there. There must be a demonstration of power to show God's endorsement. Let me mention here also that having power doesn't necessarily mean that God is present. There can be eloquence of speech, but if there is no power to illustrate the dominance of God's supremacy, then the presence of God becomes a debate. We live in a world and generation that seeks after signs, miracles, and wonders. Even during the days of Jesus, the eagerness and burning desire for signs were never silent.
There is a burden of proof required to show that our God heals and provides, that God is more than able to do exceedingly, abundantly, beyond that which we can think or imagine. Notice everyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Saviour is endowed with the power to perform signs, wonders and miracles in the name of Jesus. Power was made available to you long ago, but how much of that power have you exuded? It's now the moment and season for you to rise and show forth God's glory by healing the sick; do not count yourself out and think it's the duty of certain people, no! You have the Holy Spirit in you that does the work; all He needs is your availability, not your ability.

PURSUE, PURSUE AND PURSUE
1 Samuel 30:8 (KJV)
And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
The word "pursue" in the Hebrew rendering is "râdaph" which means to run after, usually with hostile intent, to chase, put to flight, to hunt. When David inquired of the Lord after the Amalekites raided his town and took away his family, including his soldiers, the clear intent was to chase with hostility. I tell Christians that a certain level of understanding and mindset is required to do business. The impression out there is that Christians are to be humbled and kind and just accept everything, even when the devil is robbing them of their families, possessions, health, promotion, finances and joy!
In this year of Heaven on Earth, the prophetic has been spoken over your life, now you have to râdaph; go out to recover your family and ignite the love that has waxed cold, chase the enemy to his camp and take that which he has plundered from you. There should be no relenting, retreating, and compromising until you capture what belongs to you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am revived and energized to chase the enemy and retrieve my possessions. I have the Lord on my side along with the host of Heaven; therefore, my victory is certain in Jesus' name!

GOD'S POWER HAS NO LIMITS
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)
Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
When you place a limit on God's power in your life, that is the extent of God's ability that you will encounter. When you remove the limitations and know that he is Jehovah El Shaddai, the many-breasted God, you will realize that His possibilities to intervene in your life are limitless. His power is there to work in you and through you, so begin to harness this infinite level of God's power that is at work in you today, and you will do exploits for Him. Stop setting boundaries for yourself to what God has called you to do. When God speaks to you, He has the ability to perform that which He has spoken in the name of Jesus.
Reading today's text, you will realize that God is able, He has the ability to perform that which he speaks. I always tell people that my value is determined by what I say, and my worth is not constrained by figures inferred by pundits. God's ability is extravagant and clearly stated here that it exceeds our comprehension or thinking ability. The problem with most Christians is that they have not come to grasp God's extravagance tangibly associated with God's demonstration of power.
PROPHET DECLARATION
My thinking of God's working power will expand. I cannot be limited; my life is bound to influence my generation and will be recorded in Heaven to reflect God's power demonstrated on Earth in the mighty name of Jesus!

PRAYER AS A LIFESTYLE
Acts 3:1 (KJV)
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Some Christians will say, "I don't know how to pray"; when you don't know what to pray and how to pray, it's time you ask the Holy Spirit, who will teach you his patois, unfruitful to the ordinary senses but powerful in the realm of the spirit. As you speak in tongues, portals of Heaven are open with angels descending with your answer. Things that you struggle for, in your business, in your family, in your spiritual walk - will be interceded for by the Holy Spirit in accordance with the will of God as you speak in tongues. Don't neglect your prayer life because that is what sustains you as a Christian. Take it seriously!
Jesus' disciples turned the world upside down by putting on a dangerous garment called ‘PRAYER'. The disciples were so wrapped up in prayer that it became a lifestyle. They were always in prayer mode to the point that they named a certain hour of the day ‘hour of prayer’. It was a usual way of life for them. No wonder they turned the world upside down in their dispensation. Prayer is the foundation of Christianity. If you can find time to eat, you should equally find time to pray.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a powerhouse of prayer. I know prayer is not everything, but prayer changes everything. This year, my prayer life will continue to shift to live Heaven on Earth. Amen!

BEYOND HUMAN
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The dimension of humans is vulnerable to all kinds of calamities and failures. The greatest agenda of the enemy is to remind you that you are human, born of flesh and blood. When you admit to that, you have given yourself to the god of this world and your defeat will be guaranteed.
By virtue of being in Christ, the Bible says you are now a new creature! The word “new” is the Greek word “kainos” which means a creature that never existed before. When they try to remind you of your past weaknesses and failure, just let them know that you never existed before. You are a brand-new creature on the face of the earth. You never existed, never sinned, or committed any inequity.
As you understand this revelation, you shall begin to metamorphose into a new creature, and poverty shall be a thing of the past in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a new creature, and I live in the realm of limitless possibilities. My ability is not limited by the forces of this world. Amen!

DIFFERENT CLIMATE
Exodus 13:21 (KJV)
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
The Bible says when the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord would be a pillar of fire at night and a cloud in noonday. God gave them a tailor-made climate and environment to protect them from harsh desert conditions. The desert is very harsh; it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day. With such knowledge, God chose to give them a tailor-made climate and environment. What the Israelites were experiencing was different from what other races were experiencing.
As you feed on this Word, the Lord has created a unique climate for you. When others say there is a going down, you shall say there is a lifting up. Remember, you are an ambassador of Heaven; you are fed and supplied from above. Nothing to fear on this Earth because we are in the world, but we are not of this world. Our environment is from above. We live a Heaven on Earth life and those who come in our environment shall surely witness the presence of Heaven.

I live a Heaven on Earth life, and I am an ambassador of Christ. The grace of God is more than sufficient for me in the name of Jesus!

FOWARD MARCH
Exodus 14:15 (KJV)
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
The children of Israel faced their biggest dilemma in their bid to come out of the Egyptian yoke of servitude. When the pharaoh released them, he, later on, changed his heart and started to pursue them again. That’s the persistence of the enemy. They found themselves between a vicious Egyptian army and a roaring river. When the prophet Moses thought of crying unto the Lord, it seemed God was not interested in entertaining the great prophet. His answer was simple, “Do not cry to me but let the children of Israel march forward”.
Today as you are taking this Word, just make bold steps towards your goals. There might be some signs of resistance or impossibilities but continue to march forward. Just as God provided the solution when they reached the red sea, He shall also provide the solution when you get to the point of need. That business you didn’t know how to push to the next level is changing as you make bold steps toward your destination! March forward, and your miracle will encounter you at the place of your assignment. Hallelujah!

PROFITABLE COMPANY
1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
I always tell people that if you show me your friends, I can easily predict your future. I don’t need to prophesy but by seeing your company, I can tell where you are heading in life. The people you surround yourself with, can either add or take away value from your life. The Bible says bad company or communications corrupt character, which means your company or the people you relate with have the power to corrupt you or build you up.
Take time to reflect and do an introspection of your own radius. If there are people who are not adding value to you, there is then no need to keep them in your life. Keep only those who add value to your life and change you to be a better person. Your solution is next to you, you just need to assess your radius and cut off every parasite feeding on your blood! Check your phone book and scroll through all the numbers, you will realize that some people are not adding value to your Christian walk, business or anything that benefits you in life. It is high time you prune them and make better relationships that will benefit the kingdom.

I prune every weed around me, and God’s wisdom shall help me to create profitable relationships. My connections shall benefit the kingdom of God. Amen!

PRAY, PRAY AND PRAY SOMEMORE
Luke 18:1 (KJV)
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
The Bible says God never sleeps nor slumbers. What an ability or technology that causes God never to sleep or slumber. This means God does not have a yesterday or tomorrow because he never slept. He is more awake and more active for your sake!
Our scripture above shows us how we can tap into the same technology of God, the ability to not faint, slumber, or get weary. He said to pray and not faint, which means the moment you stop praying, you get into a season of fainting. Your functionality is compromised by the lack of prayer. From today, make the decision to get back your grip and start praying like never before. It might be a few minutes of communing with God, but no prayer goes in vain. Prayer gives life and dominance in every angle of your life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My prayers shall not go in vain. I commit myself to prayer and the Word of God in this year of Heaven on Earth, I shall surely come with a testimony in the name of Jesus!

PRESENT TRUTH
2 Peter 1:12 (KJV)
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
The spiritual world and revelation are not stagnant but very dynamic and diverse. Whatever knowledge you possess about God, just leave room for new information to be poured from above. If you get stuck in old understanding, you will be nothing different from someone who is stuck in the mud.
Our scripture above ends by commending us for being established in the present truth. Note for there to be present truth, it means there is past and future truth. Some revelations are barely old truths that the church is still riding on. For you to know God as the one who performs miracles, it’s revelation but old revelation, but as of now, we know that in Him we move, live, and have our being, which means we are the ones performing the miracles. We are the miracle workers!
Christ is doing everything through us, not for us. This is the present truth, brothers and sisters! Hallelujah! As we go for the Word and commune with God through prayers and supplication, we get fresh manna from Heaven. God will begin to release present truth and relevant information for your destiny, and you shall be more up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Through the Word of God, I am established into present truth. My success is guaranteed because I am established in the perfect will of God in this season. Amen!

ALL THINGS ARE MINE
1 Corinthians 3:20 (KJV)
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Many a time we base our faith on our connections, education, or influence. Apostle Paul here reiterated that never glory in men. This means never base your trust on men, for it is God who owns everything and if we are in Him we also own everything. Apostle Paul went on to say, ”all things are yours”. The Word doesn’t say some things are yours, but all are yours! The promotion that you want is yours. The position that you cry for is already yours! God gave us everything that pertains to life and godliness.
You have all things at your disposal; just see it, speak it and possess it! You are ordained for a Heaven on Earth life, a life with no lack or anything missing. Your Father owns cattle on a thousand hills, He created all the precious stones before you came to this Earth. You are born into royalty; therefore, you shall not lack any good thing in Jesus' name!

FRONTLINE SOLDIERS
Hebrews 11:33 (KJV)
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
When you get to the army there are different regiments and different roles that the soldiers play. All of them might be in camouflage but some will be in the kitchen cooking, and some sewing the garments. There is a special group which is the frontline soldiers, these are the ones who stand on the firing line. They are ready to face the blazing guns. The same applies for Christians and ministries, there are some who are in the army but hiding in the barracks and some who are ready to take up the responsibility to change the world!
Our scripture for today talks of heroes of faith. These ones were giants who were ready to be on the front line. When lions and all persecution came, they were ready to stand for the sake of the gospel. Refuse to be passive about your Christianity, be radical in every sense! It’s time for you to rise up as a frontline soldier, go in the streets and preach the gospel. Use your gift profitably for the sake of the kingdom and make a deliberate decision today to be on the frontline for the kingdom of God.

TOO GLOBAL
Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
When it comes to sports, there are local, continental, and then you get to global champions. Some are so small that they are just village champions; they are known only in their village, not anywhere else. Right now, as you are reading this, you are shelving yourself into the category where you belong. Our scripture for today carries a command which doesn’t belong only to the disciples or pastors but to all of us! He commanded you and me to go and win nations.
Other versions say, “go and disciple nations,” which means the idea of God is to have a whole country as your cell group. You look at Canada, Lesotho, Dubai, and so forth and say this is my cell group. You are too global to be local! Let your mindset be shifted as you are reading this prophetic messenger.
Do not limit yourself to your local environment. Have a God-kind view on everything. You are a giant ready to dominate territories! The world is waiting for you and now is the time. From where you are, from ministry to business, go out and conquer territories in the name of Jesus!

RIGHTEOUSNESS
Romans 5:17 (KJV)
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
The moment righteousness is mentioned, most Christians will be thinking of how they can be pure in the sight of God and how they can earn it. The Bible calls it a “gift” of righteousness. Do you know the meaning of a “gift”? A gift is something that you cannot earn or pay for. Righteousness to you and me is not something that we earn but it’s something freely given to all who received our Lord, Jesus Christ. There is nothing good that we can do to earn it, but it’s a package bestowed to us by God.
The devil must never fool you into thinking that you can do something to earn righteousness through your works. It’s not by works but by faith in God’s complete works. When God looks at you now, He sees you through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Your works have no room to occupy as it is all about Him and your duty is to just receive the gift .
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have the righteousness of Jesus Christ and I am God’s favorite and I shall live to see his blessings manifesting in my life in the name of Jesus. Amen!

WORDS HAVE A PREMIUM
John 6:63 (KJV)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
When you utter words, remember those are not just mere words coming out of your mouth and vacate thin air. The words you utter have power to shape your life for the best or worst. You are where you are because of words spoken either by you or someone else. Put a premium and a standard to the words that proceed out of your mouth. This has nothing to do with your emotional position; it’s all about chatting the course of your life by words. Some tend to speak good when they have money in their pocket or something good is happening, but even in your worst moments, don’t allow negativity to come out of your mouth!
Jesus said the words He uttered are spirit and life. You are members of Jesus’ body and every word you speak is also spirit and life. If words contain life, it means they cannot die. If you speak broke language, ‘broke’ will be looking for every opportunity to make you lose money. Speak ‘success’, and ‘success’ will be looking for you to get all prosperity and increase. Change your language today as you are reading this prophetic messenger. Put a premium on the words you speak in and this year, you shall see glory in every area of your life.

I speak prosperity, peace and power in every area of my life. Good news and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life in the name of Jesus.

BREAKING TRADITION
Matthew 13:58 (KJV)
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
A tradition is a form of beliefs and customs transmitted from one generation to another. People are wired by traditions, either good or bad and whatever we become is a result of this. It is one of the strongest forces that can work against someone’s life. The Bible said Jesus could not do any mighty miracle when He went to His home country. Note the Bible didn’t say, “He did not do,” but He “could not do,” which means He even tried and failed. Although He was God in the flesh, there are things He failed to do for them because of traditions. They made the Word of God of non-effect by their belief systems.
Today is a new day; it’s a moment to go against all negative traditions. Your new understanding is that prosperity and power are yours. Believe everything that God says with no shadow of a doubt. If He said money is coming, for sure, it is coming! It’s not about where you were born but where you are going. You are going very far without any doubt; if they believe you shall not cross a certain age, just let them know that you are living longer to declare the goodness of the Lord. Let your family bear a new tradition of no failure or stagnation. Create a new tradition for yourself and your own family.

NO DEFICIENCY
Isaiah 12:3 (KJV)
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Deficiency means a lack or shortage of something needed. It might be in material resources, supplies or even nutrition. When nutritional deficiency happens inside a person, it leads to diseases or even death. Your spiritual life as a person can suffer the same if you are not feeding on everything that God said you should possess. Salvation is a balanced diet, a full package of everything. It contains everything that pertains to your own life. The same package of salvation needed for your money is needed for your health and all other areas of your life.
The prophet Isaiah said to draw from the “wells “ of salvation. The Bible doesn’t say “well” but “wells” in the plural, which means there is a well of money, health, intelligence, and all. As you read the Bible, apportion time and effort to every area of your life. Equally apportion your spiritual efforts towards all angles of your life. Nothing should be lacking at all in your life. The world shall see glory in your life.
As you read this prophetic messenger, take time to read the Word, pray and make declarations towards every area of your life. You know the area lagging in your life, and now is the time to bring salvation to all areas of your life.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Salvation is my portion and today I decree and declare that every area of my life is free in the name of Jesus. Money, health, long life and influence is my portion this year in the name of Jesus!

LIFE-GIVER
John 7:38 (KJV)
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
The solution you are looking for from the outside is really on the inside of you. You might be asking me, ”man of God, is the job, health, or visa that I’m looking for inside of me ..” definitely YES!! The Bible says out of your belly shall flow rivers, not one river of living water. The river is not going to come from above. No matter how you pray or call for it, it is coming from within. Christ in you is the hope of all glory and everything that has given you sleepless nights. Know that the solution is with you!
Remember, Adam was a bachelor in the garden, yet he was moving with Eve inside of him. God only reached out to what was already in him, not outside. From within you, there are solutions because Christ is in you. Speak life, and those rivers of living waters will flow towards your ministry, business, marriage, health, education, and all! You are a solution bearer, and as you read this prophetic message, the Holy Spirit will help you discover all the solutions embedded inside of you. Give life to everything that pertains to your life through your words and declarations.

PERFECT IDENTITY
1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Influence in the realm of the spirit or the flesh results from acquired spiritual knowledge that one possesses. Understand that judges or any other law enforcement agents function according to the power invested upon them by the government. They exercise authority based on the power given to them by a superior body. You might see someone with a very small physical structure, but they will exercise authority based on the knowledge of who sent them.
The Bible is not the biography of God or a book to show you the acts of God, it is a mirror for you to look upon until you know God as He knows you. Knowing God is not enough but we should know as we are known by Him. He sees a giant, a line crosser and a wonder in you! Even in the darkest part of your life, God knows you as a light bringer and a force to reckon with. From today know your true identity by looking into the mirror of His Word.
God told me that this year is a year of Heaven on Earth, and thank God because you are a divine agent to bring Heaven to this earthly realm, that’s your perfect identity!

HIS EMBODIMENT
Ephesians 5:30 (KJV)
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Most Christians are still stuck on the revelation that they are led by God. It sounds very spiritual when you claim that you are led by God, but that’s a primary understanding of what the Bible says. Our scripture above says we are members of His body, not only that but His bones and flesh. Do you know what this means? We are no longer led by Christ but we are His embodiment. He is no longer leading you, but He is in you. As He walks you also walk. Gone are the days where He leads you, you are now moving as He moves.
Let this understanding be instilled in you and you shall dominate your space. There is no high which is higher than the Most High. Every limitation or hurdle placed along your way is nothing when you are in Christ and Christ in you. Look at everything around you with this understanding that you are an embodiment of Christ. Speak life into every area which is stagnant in your life, and you shall see a shift. Your tongue is the tongue of Christ; therefore, speak life in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am an embodiment of Jesus Christ, my tongue is a life-giver. I declare love, peace, and prosperity in every area of my life in the name of Jesus. Amen!

EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (KJV)
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Our scripture for today is one which most Christians claim to know but lack the in-depth revelation embedded in it. What transforms you is not reciting scriptures but having a proper revelation of the scripture and acting upon it. The revelation of the Word of God is what takes you up. Your success is tantamount to the revelation that you possess.
The Lord told Jeremiah, "I knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb”. The word “knew” is the word “Yada” in Hebrew which means having experiential knowledge. It’s like God had a personal experience with Jeremiah before he was even formed in his mother’s womb.
Brothers and sisters, you existed somewhere before you came to this earth. God knows you better than anyone who might try to pull you down. You have a greater record of success from the one who knew you before your friend, teacher or pastor than anyone else. God wired you for success and prosperity and will never allow anyone to play you down. You are a giant and a world-shaker.

HEAVEN ON EARTH
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
An ambassador is an accredited diplomat sent by one nation or state to a foreign country as it’s representative. An ambassador is solely dependent on the supplies from his country of origin. An ambassador of America to South Africa is not affected by the changes that might take place in the economy of South Africa because their source is the county of origin. Furthermore, the residence of the American embassy in your country is more of America to the extent that if you set foot there, by diplomatic protocols, you are considered to be in America.
Now stay with me. The Bible says we are ambassadors of Christ, which means we represent God here on Earth. Therefore lack is not our portion because your country of origin is heavenly and in Heaven there is no lack or mediocrity. We live a life of Heaven on Earth and our supply will never run dry. Square up your shoulders and declare that you shall live a life of Heaven on Earth, for you are an ambassador of Jesus Christ!

REVELATION
Galatians 2:2 (KJV)
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
The world has it’s standards on what leads to success, but as children of God, we have our own way. Remember, we are in the world but not of the world. Paul said I went up by revelation! Revelation is an opening of eyes, more of a removal of scales. Success is a product of the revelation that you possess. Through the grace of God, I have been used mightily in the prophetic and healing, but all that is not what takes you up or higher. It’s your understanding of the Word that determines your altitude in life.

CONFUSE THE ENEMY
Joel 3:10 (KJV)
Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
The devil is a spiritual being that is spiritually dead because of his disengagement with the giver of life. There are things that he will never know about you unless you update him on your own. From the days of Adam to Job, his approach was to find out information from an individual. He can only tell that you are sick or struggling by what you say or confess. He takes notes and spots a graph from the coordinates you give him through your worries. When negativity is spoken or any form of discontent happens, he will pick something out of that and pounce on the target.
Your own Bible says, “let the weak say I’m strong ..” not because of the healing which took place but because of the faith that we have in the master of all, Jesus Christ. Note the Bible didn’t say when you become strong, that’s when you say, “I’m strong “. The scripture reveals that while you are still weak, feeling the pain and things going down, say you are strong. Don’t wait for the money to come. This very year, the year of money, just declare that your money is coming and confuse the enemy. The enemy will never get a grip on someone who speaks victory all the time!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I decree and declare that in this year of Heaven on Earth, money will come to me in abundance, I am rooted in the Word of God and victory over the enemy is mine! Hallelujah!

BEYOND BELIEF
2 Peter 1:16 (KJV)
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Belief is a state of acceptance that something exists or is true, whether with proof or not. For you to be a man or a woman, if you believe it then there is a problem. You don’t believe you are one, but you “know” you are. You have experiential knowledge about what you are saying. Believing is a lower level. It leaves room for argument and portals of doubt.
The Apostle said when we followed or talked about Jesus, it’s not like these are stories, but we were eyewitnesses of these things. In our ministry, we have seen God doing unimaginable miracles, from healings and miracle money to resurrections! In us, there is no more room for doubt. We are at a better level, far beyond believing. It’s a level where the known and knower become one.
We worship a God who does wonders without number and know He is in us. Take charge of your environment and make decrees that will change your life forever. God is there and there is no shadow of doubt. No matter what life might throw at you, He is still God, and His supremacy is higher than all our issues. He has been there before time began and is older than my problems. That’s why we call him Ancient of Days.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My God is a living God, I worship the God who is able to change my story within a second and today my life is shifting. Amen!

GREATER CARE
Matthew 10:30 (KJV)
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
God cares for you more than you care for yourself. There is nothing too big that He cannot stretch His hand to solve or too small for Him not to pay attention. He is closer to you than you are to yourself. Troubles of life might make you feel distanced from your master, but His position is still the same from eternity past to eternity future. The Bible says He numbered the strands of hair upon your head.
That sounds awkward to you because you don’t see the reason for paying attention to a little strand of hair. Get this, the word used as "numbered" does not mean general counting. To see the depth of it, the word “numbered” means “coded”, like each strand of hair has its unique code. When you drop one strand of hair in a saloon, God will say, “number 00024 has fallen”, this is how much He is concerned.
My brothers and sisters, if God can pay such attention to little things about your hair, what about your business, marriage, health, or education? He is more than concerned, and you shall see a turnaround coming to you in the name of Jesus! The eye of the Lord is upon everything that pertains to your life, and He loves you more than you love yourself.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The eye of the Lord is upon me 24/7, and His glory shall be witnessed by many upon my life. I shall not fail or lose anything, for God is on my case all the days of my life. Amen!

RELEVANCE IN THE KINGDOM
John 18:37 (KJV)
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Relevance is the state of being useful at a given time or place. When something loses value or relevance, there will be no need to keep that thing. The same principles govern the things of the spirit. Your main reason of existence is relevance, and the moment you cease to be relevant, you are a candidate for death or departure. Jesus lived up to around thirty-three years of age which most of you might say was too young to die, but His mission was accomplished. He had completed the will of His father on Earth.
From today escape death, sickness, and calamities by showing God that you are ready to be a vessel of honor. Do they miss you when you are not there at your church, family or so? If not so, then there is no significant change or impact that you are adding to the family. I pray for you today that you shall be relevant in the name of Jesus! As you read this prophetic message, refuse to be an ordinary individual but a vessel of honor.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a vessel of honor in the house of the Lord. My life is an answer to my generation. I shall live long to see the goodness of the Lord in my life. Amen!

FLAMES OF FIRE
Hebrews 12:28 (KJV)
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
When a light bulb is lit, you see all kinds of insects gathering around it, and it is that illumination that attracts insects, but if you observe closely, you will see that the insects will start distancing away. They might come for light, but the dimension of fire is not something they can easily contain. The Bible says God is light, but He is also the “consuming fire.” He said we are the light of the world, but in another passage of scripture, He made us, His ministers, to be like flames of fire.
You are the seed of Christ, not just the light but “flames of fire”. My brothers and sisters, you are too hot to handle! Diseases, stagnation, and all manner of misfortunes have no place in your life. Fire burns, fire cooks, penetrates, and kills! To everything that is bothering you today, the answer is FIRE! I command the fire of the Holy Ghost to burn every deposit of the enemy in your life in the name of Jesus. Go ahead, feed on the Word, and pray. Your prayers are not mere words but coals of fire burning all forms of diabolic invasions in the name of Jesus.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am an embodiment of fire. There is no room for shame and disgrace in my life. I command the fire of the Holy Ghost to burn every deposit of the enemy in the name of Jesus!

GENERATIONAL CAPTAINS
Matthew 13:24 (KJV)
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
The naval system is very acquainted with captains, and their roles are very broad more than mere leaders of a team. The United Nations has proper standards that govern ships, captains, and all those who sail in high waters. It is the sole duty of a captain to make sure that all safety measures are taken, timetables are followed, and the crew is adhering to all the standards. The duty of a captain is beyond pointing destinations but to make sure that everything on board will arrive at its destination safely, in perfect condition, and without risking others who use the same naval tracks.
There is something higher than these naval or sports captains, and that is spiritual or generational captains. You represent a family or a certain sphere of influence and you are a captain for those around you. The Bible revealed that a good man planted a good seed, but the enemy came while men were asleep. When generation captains sleep, the enemy will plant his own seed.
In this Deeper Life Phase, there is no playground, meaning there is no room to sleep while the enemy is planting discord, confusion, and embarrassment among us. We are on guard through prayer and supplications, and we shall not tire because we are generational captains.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a generational captain, and my family shall be safe because of me. There is no space for the enemy, for I am on guard through prayer and supplication in the name of Jesus.

RAPTURE READY
Psalm 105:37 (KJV)
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
When the Children of Israel made their exodus out of Egypt, there was not one weak or sick person among them. They were all healthy and strong. Now, the Church is soon to embark on the greatest exodus of all – the rapture! The Lord is soon to come, and the saints of God will be caught up to meet him in the air. Glory be to God!
The Bible says He is coming for a glorious Church that is without spot or blemish. When we exit this world, we will be clothed with a glorious body that will never get sick or die.
Sickness in your body means the knowledge of sickness is more than the knowledge of the Word which says you are healed. Healing has been provided and is available for you right now!
You do not need to wait until the rapture to be in a body that is healthy and strong. Simply believe what God says concerning your healing and begin to speak words that line up with His Word. Don’t Google your symptoms; get in the Word! As you declare the Word over your body concerning your healing, you create a pathway for sickness to come out, and healing will be your present reality.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The life of God is imparted to my body. The healing virtue of Christ is flowing through me, and I am revitalized at a cellular and molecular level. Jesus is my healer, and I receive His grace for healing now!

NEW MONEY
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Money has been known to fail because it is a part of this world’s system, and that system is corrupt, but when you become a new creation in Christ, the Bible says all things are become new, and all things are of God. That includes your money. What makes it new is the value you place on it, and that value is determined by how you use it. You can push your finances into the spiritual realm by consecrating the money for God’s use.
If God can get it through you, He will get it to you. The money is coming! Your money is coming! And God’s people will be rich! But understand that money is not the be-all and end-all. Money is simply a tool to get the things that really matter – things of eternal value. That is why we speak of having money with a mission.
We understand that when we work, we do not work for a living; we work for a giving. It is God’s will for you to prosper financially so that you can choose the life you want rather than having those choices made for you. And most importantly, it is through your money that the Gospel and God’s Kingdom agenda will be spread abroad!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My businesses shall never fail, and my finances shall never run dry. I am unctioned for good success; my money is coming and keeps coming!

ENERGY BOOST
1 Corinthians 14:4 (KJV)
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the Church.
It is possible for a person to be dehydrated and not even know it. Similarly, your phone battery can be drained, and you only realise it once the phone shuts off. In the same way, your spiritual energy can be low without you knowing it. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, you are already dehydrated. So, rather than wait until you reach the point of thirst, the best thing to do is drink water throughout the day.
Likewise, it is better to monitor your battery levels throughout the day and keep it charged up as much as possible. The same is true of your spiritual energy. When you speak or pray in tongues, you are loading spiritual energy. You charge yourself like a battery with the dunamis power of God. When Jesus would minister to the sick, power would go out of Him.
He recognised when His energy level was going down, so He would load Himself up in prayer. Some resort to sports drinks or medication to boost their energy, but we have our own spiritual boosters. Five minutes of speaking in tongues can load enough energy to deal with twenty years of problems! Don’t wait until your spiritual energy is low. Instead, take time throughout your day to load energy in prayer.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The dunamis power of God is working in me! When I pray, I confuse the Devil and explode on my problems! My problems are ending, and things are working in my life, in the name of Jesus!

LET YOUR WORDS COUNT
1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV)
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Our verse for today tells us that every sound has meaning. Every word you speak produces results, and God is expecting you, His child, to take this technology of sound He has given you and use it to your full advantage. Your sound waves were designed by God to be used to draw the blessings of God into your life. As you speak, you create highways and roadways for angels to travel.
The more you decree and declare the blessings of God over your life, the more you empower angels to move towards you and deliver the benefits of salvation. That is why you should never produce a sound of poverty. When you make sounds that do not line up with God’s Word, instead of empowering angels, you empower demons who will see to it that poverty is delivered to you.
Words like “I’m broke”, “I can’t afford it,” and “I don’t have enough” should never be part of your language. It's better for people to say you are prideful than to enable demonic spirits that will hear those words. Your words have power! Therefore, use them to produce the fruit of abundance that is rightfully yours.

SHOW OFF!
2 Corinthians 2:14 (AMPC)
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere.
I write books because I am commanded by the Lord to write them. Every book I write carries an impartation of the grace I carry. However, the revelation, spiritual principles, and practical application contained within the pages of each book will never be known unless I can get the person to look inside. For that reason, whenever I write a book, I carefully select a title that tells you the problem the book solves.
The title on the outside communicates the value of what’s inside. That’s a basic marketing principle and why my books sell. You are the title God is wearing. He has entered you so that He can transfer His value to you. All that He is, and all His abilities are resident inside you. So, when someone who does not know the Lord looks at you, they should see the problem you solve.
If they are in darkness, they should see light when they look at you. If they have more "month than money", they ought to see financial prosperity showing on you. If they are sick and in need of healing, your countenance should reflect His health and healing power. You are God’s best marketing tactic. Show the world what you carry inside!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

TELL HIM WHAT YOU SAW
1 John 5:14-15 (KJV)
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Faith is technical, and you can grow in it once you understand how it works. There is grace to possess your possessions and to collect your collections, but there is an equation you must follow to use your faith and get what you desire. God has given you a warranty in His Word, a way for you to get whatever you ask for, and this is the principle: if you can see what you want in His Word, and God sees that you see it, you have the assurance that you have what you ask for.
The Bible says that God works all things according to the counsel of His will. That does not mean that God goes looking for a scripture. He is the Word! It simply means God uses His Word to get what He wants. Therefore, He expects you to do the same and here is the beautiful thing about it: once you see what you want in the Word, you’re not praying to get that thing; you’re praying because you already have it! How do you know you have it? You saw it in the Word! All that is left is for you to tell Him what you saw!

KNOW YOUR GOD
Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
I am not a believer. I left believing way back. I know God! You see, a Christian is not a believer. The Bible tells us that there is a certain power given to believers – not to Christians. It is the power to become the sons of God. That means a believer is one who has not yet become a son of God. The scripture tells us that it is those who know their God that will be strong and do exploits.
There is an experiential knowledge that you must have of God and He of you. Abraham realised this when he moved in faith to sacrifice his son. It was then that God said now I know that you fear me! The only way you can know God is through His Word. The Bible says that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life (1 John 1:1).
Your knowledge of the Word is demonstrated by what you do: the steps of faith you take based on the Word, so refuse to be a believer. You are bigger than that! You can actually know Him. Cultivate your own experiences with God by exercising faith in His Word, and you will do exploits!

DEVIATE
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
For too long, the Church has been influenced by this worldly system. Divorce rates are now higher among Christians than unbelievers. Preachers have abandoned the truth in favour of sensitivity. The world is headed for Hell in a handbasket, and some preachers have helped to weave the basket, but we who have subscribed to the Deeper Life have cancelled the worldly culture.
In these final days leading up to the rapture, the dividing line between the true Church and the world is becoming crystal clear. It’s time for real Christians to stand in our righteousness and refuse to compromise. The world’s prescribed order is sin and lawlessness, where anything goes in the name of “inclusion.” The world’s prescribed order is to accept sickness and disease as a normal part of everyday life.
The world’s prescribed order is minimum wage and living hand to mouth. We must deviate from that prescribed order and incline our ears to the Word of God. Take your position firmly on God’s side, and never surrender! In this year of Heaven on Earth, make the Word of God the standard for your health, finances, relationships, and life.

RAISE YOUR FLAG
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
It is important to know who you are. The Bible says you are an ambassador for Christ, and an ambassador is a lifetime rank. As an ambassador, you are the resident representative of the government of God, appointed by the Sovereign of the Universe for a special diplomatic assignment. You are a minister of reconciliation sent to represent the peace, prosperity, protection, and power of your homeland, Zion. Essentially, you are sent to showcase Heaven on Earth.
As an ambassador, you are not subject to the economy of this world. You are richly supplied from your home country. Here is another interesting fact about being an ambassador. The house where the ambassador lives is not an embassy; it is a chancery. It is only an embassy when the ambassador is there. That means your body, and even this world, is your embassy.
You can’t be found living anyhow because you represent the One who reigns supreme, the Lord Jesus Christ! The only lifestyle that befits you is a Heaven on Earth lifestyle. As an ambassador, you are allowed to raise your country's flag while in foreign territory. You are an embodiment of all your nation stands for. As long as you are here, you influence the culture of everything around you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I know who I am. I am not of this world. I am God’s representative on this Earth. I have diplomatic immunity from the systems, symptoms, and sicknesses of this world. Earth is my embassy, and I inject it with the atmosphere of Heaven wherever I go.

THE JOY OF DISCOVERY
Proverbs 25:2 (KJV)
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
God takes pleasure in hiding things. His intention is not to keep them from you but for you to experience the joy of discovering all He has provided for you. He has made it easy because He has hidden everything in His Word. The Bible contains esoteric knowledge: mysteries of God that are kept hidden from unbelievers but are freely given to His children. All that you need is wrapped up in the Word. All you have to do is find the Word you need!
It is not just truth but the truth you know that makes you free in your health, finances, relationships, spirit, and every other area that requires salvation or deliverance. Spoon-fed Christians are limited to the knowledge that is given to them via other people who teach and preach the Word but the mature Christian understands that God’s design is for you to supplement what you are taught by "searching out a matter” for yourself.
That’s what kings do. So, when you need truth on a particular subject, circumstance, or issue that you want changed, search for it in the Word. The Holy Spirit will see to it that you find what you need, and you will never be disappointed. So, cheer up! The Word works!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Word is forming the character of Christ in me. I am a Word practitioner, reaping the benefits of every good thing God has provided for me. I decree and declare, my life is filled with pleasantness, abundance, riches, honour, and glory!

USE YOUR ADVANTAGE
2 Peter 1:3 (ESV)
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.
Poverty is not the absence of resources or money. It is the absence of imagination. People often ask me, "how do I become rich when I don't have the money to start a business?" My answer is, if you want money to start a business, you are not a business person. What you need is intellectual capital – an idea. Every successful business person started with an idea.
What’s more, you have an even greater advantage than the average person because the favour of God differentiates a Christian from every other would-be entrepreneur. There is another critical resource that is often overlooked when it comes to prosperity, and that is the presence of a Prophet. A Prophet carries an atmosphere of prosperity. In fact, God has entrusted His Prophets with the resource of prosperity.
Some Christians do not have or have not yet identified the Prophet sent to them. Others have recognized their Prophet, but they refuse to believe them, not realizing that believing God’s Prophet is the requirement for their prosperity. Time is short, so use the resources God has given you to prosper now. Believe the words of His Prophet and move on with that business idea today!

I am empowered to prosper. The favour of the Lord makes me fruitful and productive, and anything I put my hands to do flourishes. The Word is working for me, and I can never be disadvantaged in Jesus’ mighty name!

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Many times, I have said quiet Christians die quietly because they refuse to speak. It's time to declare these things to yourself and your body. There is no more time to be quiet or silent. Whether you have health challenges or not, say these words with me and mean it with your heart. Say, 'I am complete in Christ! Nothing is lacking in my spirit, soul, and body!’
You have to reiterate this to be part of your knowing and being. Do not hesitate, constantly speak what you believe should happen in your business, marriage, family, finances, health - and see the very thing take shape in your life. Again, declare this over your life and your family today and every day. Say it aloud: my organs are functioning normally in the name of Jesus!
My heart is beating normally, my lungs are taking in air normally, my eyes are seeing normally, in the name of Jesus! My kidneys are functioning perfectly well; my muscles and tissues are in perfect condition! My businesses are booming, my finances are increasing in the name of Jesus! My life is nothing but Heaven on Earth! Speak it daily and put the Devil on the run. You cannot be denied your victory in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen!

ENFORCE YOUR AUTHORITY
Hebrews 6:20 (KJV)
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
“Mel” as in Melchizedek means to reign or rule and “Zedek” signifies to be made right (Priest) or righteousness. Melchizedek, mentioned in the Old Testament is a king and a priest (Genesis 14:18-20), meaning he holds two offices. Strangely, Melchizedek has no ancestry lineage to speak about as he appears out of nowhere.
What I love about my Jesus from the text is that he has already gone in for us, he has become our high priest. Not only that, Jesus is also our king. As Christians, we should grasp the dual role of Jesus as Priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Your position in Christ carries a dual function; as a priest, pleading like an advocate in a courtroom, and a judge because of your kingship in Jesus.
When it comes to prayer, you start by pleading, standing on the Word of God, and as you end your prayer, begin to decree and declare things because the king inside you is authoritative and rules over circumstances, not under the circumstances. Throughout this year, decree and declare Heaven on Earth as your life’s norm. The name of Jesus is your weapon of war, and the Word of God is your ultimate artillery to dislodge every attack of the enemy.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a priest and a king. I carry the full load of the authority of the Godhead; when I speak, situations are bound to bow, when I decree and declare, circumstances disappear. My life shall always project God’s divine nature in me in the name of Jesus.

YOUR CASE IS AN EMERGENCY
Psalm 91:1 (KJV)
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Most countries in the developed world have emergency numbers. These are numbers someone in those countries will call when in danger. The moment these numbers are called, a dispatcher will alert the rescue team of danger, and a rescue team will be sent immediately. What’s noticeable is even when these emergency numbers are accidentally dialed, rescuers will still be dispatched to that address to ensure that there is no apparent danger to the caller.
In like manner, God has given us emergency numbers to dial immediately when faced with danger. Our scripture for today is one of those numbers. Moreover, Jeremiah 33:3 says: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (NKJV).
In that situation where an eviction letter is served to you like a bombshell, a situation where a crippling and delipidating disease has suddenly been diagnosed, a situation where redundancy is looming at your workplace, then that’s the perfect time to scream in tongues and dial these emergency numbers. Our dependable God will dispatch Angels to rescue you from the impending danger once you dial Psalm 911 or Jeremiah 333. As you stand on God’s Word, call now and see help arrive instantly in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am on God’s watch list, constantly under Heaven’s divine surveillance, I am not alone, angels are surrounding my dwelling 24/7, therefore no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am victorious in the name of Jesus.

SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT THROUGH PRAYER
Exodus 17:12 (KJV)
But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Moses was lifting his hands of his own accord, and the battle fought between the Israelites and their enemies was now in their favour. The moment Moses’ hands went down, the enemies got the upper hand.
This is significant to understand that something profound was happening; there was a definite correlation between Moses’ risen hands, a physical act, and the victory of the Israelites on the battlefront. This simple act of raising hands and bringing victory shows that our participation is required to see a manifestation of a miracle at another level.
I always tell people not to take prayer likely or for granted because when you pray, angels on assignment for you are sustained. Your prayer is like Moses raising his hands to give victory to the Israelites on the battlefield. As you pray, the angels warring on your behalf gain the upper hand over demonic forces and principalities.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I will never relent, my life shall serve as a battle axe of the Lord, I will sustain angels on assignment for me in prayer, and will not be complacent in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

DEEPER LIFE SUBSTANCE
Luke 5:4 (KJV)
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
It’s been seven months since we as a Church by God’s grace entered the Deeper Life Phase. Seven normally speaks of perfection when it comes to the things of the spirit. Deeper life launched encompasses deeper life in prayer, deeper life in our commitment concerning the things of God.
Deeper life requires going deeper into the Word of God. Deeper life is designed to prepare us to be men and women, that God wants to be perfect as the father is perfect. Deeper life takes the Bible as the only manual to equip you better to be who God wants you to be. One of the benefits of going deeper with God is we will bear more fruits.
When you understand that deeper life is rewarding, your outlook on the spiritual will take a different trajectory. We are fishers of men not catchers of men, hence, we need to launch out deeper and deeper into the things of God if we want to win more souls for Jesus. Going into deeper life is avoiding surface Christianity and being firmly rooted in the Word of God and the things of the spirit.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am already in the Deeper Life Phase, I have no reverse gear, I cannot go back, but go deeper into the things of God. I shall continue to evangelize, winning more souls, ensuring Heaven is full and Hell is empty!

INCREASE YOUR LIGHT CONTENT
Acts 12:7 (KJV)
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
I tell people that the Devil is afraid of your light, not your anointing! This will take a lot of Christians time to comprehend. The power in you, is because of the amount of light in you, and having this light elevates your ranking in the realm of the spirit. The angel that came to liberate Peter came with light and this light had the ability to break the chain that was holding Peter down in prison.
You should understand that to produce light will require having light in you. If there is no light in you, there will be nothing to emit. Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”. From this scripture, we now know that light is obtain from the Word of God, hallelujah!
The more of the Word of God in you, the more light you exude. Since light ultimately disperses darkness and is able to break the chains of poverty, sickness, bareness, and imprisonment, the solution then is to absorb more light by having more of the Word of God in you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a walking, living, and breathing species with God’s Word in me. I am a generator of light; therefore, the Devil has nothing on me. I move with light that terminates the enemy’s control over me. Amen!

BE AN ENCOURAGER
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Many times, in the public glare and camera lights, accolades, trophies, awards, and titles are won with the winner cheerfully lifting the trophy. The scenery can be glamorous and exciting, and the atmosphere electric! The winner, despite the fun fare and admiration, is constantly reminded of one thing or one person; that’s the encourager.
That single person in your life whose persistence and determination drove you to go the extra mile; building yourself to reach your God-given potential. The encourager doesn’t receive the awards and trophies, but the winner knows that success will be impossible without him. Paul was emphatic in his letter to the Thessalonians about what he expected them to do.
You may say I am not a Preacher, not an Apostle, not a Prophet, but you are a Christian! You are the first to be seen by a non-Christian. You may not be in a position as such, but your words of consolation and encouragement will make a difference in someone’s life. Deeper life entails showing love to one another, loving the unlovable, and encouraging each other to attain greater heights.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My life is a life of success. I shall not entertain discouragement, nor will I be a discourager, no, it shall not be part of me. I am set to lead and build others. Wherever I go, my life shall attract good news always. Amen!

GET PLUGGED IN
1 Samuel 10:11 (KJV)
And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Saul was known to his friends, family and relations as an ordinary guy. Before his prophetic utterance, Saul never imagined being someone that would prophesy. Many will ask what happened to Saul; where did he learn to prophesy? Who taught him, or if the gift of prophecy was imparted upon him? Notice that Saul was among the Prophets; he was in their midst and connected to the prophetic.
Sometimes you become intertwined with the prophetic; you marinate yourself in the revelation associated with the prophetic, like that of Spirit Embassy, the GoodNews Church, and transformation begins from the inside. The Word of God has the power to change your life completely and give you a Heaven on Earth experience; take a daily dose by constantly reading and meditating upon the Word.
You need this to be part of your being. When you are connected with God through His Word, you are in for a miracle. Network with fellow Christians to study the Word, and as it takes root in your heart and mind, you will begin to see the world differently.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I walk in divine connections. I am connected to the Word of God; my Spirit is fed and my life shines forth with God’s glory. As I remain plugged into the living Word of God, my life becomes Heaven on Earth in Jesus’ name. Amen!

DO NOT DISCOUNT HIS PRESENCE
Judges 6:12 (KJV)
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
Gideon replied in disbelief when the angel of the Lord called him a “mighty man of valour” in the following verse of the same text. In fact, most people asked: If God calls me good, then why do my finances keep drying up? If God is actually there, why am I being fired from my work? If God is so powerful, why is my situation of the fruit of the womb still hanging in the balance?
The Angel of the Lord met Gideon on a threshing floor and told him his true identity when the whole nation of Israel was going through troubled times without a military general. In His infinite wisdom, God sees you differently. His reality of who you are sometimes contrasts with natural life’s reality.
Think of all the galaxies, the planetary systems known to men, and the unknown. The vastness of the universe and all it contains alone will prompt you to understand that He’s beyond human comprehension. Whatever you are going through right now, take a deep breath because God is ready to show up and show off in your situation, He is ready with a Heaven on Earth experience for you and you will sing a new song in the mighty name of Jesus!

SEPARATE YOURSELF
Genesis 32:24 (KJV)
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jacob’s encounter with destiny came at a time when he was alone. We know Jacob had children, and servants, friends, and an entire household, but he chose to be alone at this time to reflect deeply on his next level. When God wants to use you, there will be moments when you will find yourself alone!
Every divine encounter will require seclusion from the rest. The true definition of holy is “set apart" or "separated”. What God is about to do in your life will demand being alone and inaccessible to others. Places you used to go, you will go no more! When you are left alone to be used by God, your vocabulary and dress code will be altered.
When for no apparent reason, you were fired, when people you considered friends abandoned you despite your unreserved love for them, you realize that you are now a perfect candidate to be used by the Master. The Bible says in James 1:2, “Count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations;”. Some situations that suddenly erect in your life should call for celebration; don’t worry, God is still on the throne; your next higher level is imminent, and you will have the last laugh in Jesus’ name.

ANCIENT OF DAYS
Daniel 7:9 (KJV)
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Every problem that befalls you is trying to undermine the power of God. There is no situation that is greater than God. God existed before time began, and there is nothing new, either negative or positive, before the sight of the Lord. No matter how complicated or how high your situation is, God remains in the supreme office.
Daniel called him the “Ancient of days..”, when God is referred to as the ancient of days, it means even the days respect Him as the old one. He existed before time began; the days call Him old. When you worship Him, remember you do not worship an idol that was sculptured yesterday but the One who existed before time began. He knows you in and out, and your situation is nothing new to Him. That sickness in your body, that situation at your work place or school, is nothing compared to the power of God!
You worship a great God, the One who can’t be voted in or out. He, who sits in the circumference of Himself. Go out and see a turnaround in every facet of your life because the Lord’s hand is upon your life!

My God is the ancient of days, He existed before my situation. I worship the great I am. Everything about me is working together for my good in the name of Jesus!

REVELATION AND TRUTH
2 Peter 1:12 (KJV)
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Information is dynamic from time to time and what was relevant in the past season might not be that relevant in this modern day and age. The cars or brands that were mouth-watering in the past might not be that attractive today. The same principle governs the spiritual world. Revelation is not stagnant but highly dynamic and diversified.
When you come to God or the things of God, just empty yourself and allow God to fill you with relevant information for this time. Our scripture above ends by commending us to be established in the present truth. Note, for there to be a present truth; it means there is past and future truth. Some revelations are barely old truths that the Church is still riding on. To know God as the one who performs miracles is an old revelation.
As of now, we know that in Him we move, live and have our being, which means we are the ones performing the miracles. We are the miracle workers! As we go for the Word and commune with God through prayer and supplication, we get fresh manna from Heaven! God will begin to release present truth, relevant information for your destiny and you shall be more up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am established in the present truth and in Christ I live, move and have my being. My destiny is governed by God’s Word which is a more sure Word of prophecy! Hallelujah!

CHRIST AS A LOCATION
Acts 17:28 (KJV)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.
If you take the Bible as one of those history books, you will surely find wars and everything that confirms that idea. For those who take it as a book of love you will surely find something to do with love in there but there is something beyond that in the Word of God. The Bible says, "in Him we live, move and have our being." Note that the Bible says “in Him” not "with Him", which means you are in Christ as your location.
It’s a higher dimension of revelation to know Christ as your location. When you are inside a bulldozer, there is nothing that can stop you; you are inside a force that cannot be resisted or restricted! When you are in Christ, you are inside the strongest force or power! There is no mountain that cannot be levelled or any valley that cannot be filled.
Go and conquer for there is nothing impossible when you are in Jesus Christ. That business or project that seems impossible, it’s easy when you are in Jesus Christ! Today is a brand-new day for you. Begin to know Christ as your own location and go through every wall that resisted you! The power is available, and the grace is more than sufficient!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Christ is my location. In Jesus Christ I live, move and have my being. Nothing shall stop me! Doors of prosperity, good health and success shall open on their own in the name of Jesus!

PRAY, PRAY AND PRAY SOMEMORE
Luke 18:1 (KJV)
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
The Bible says God never sleeps nor slumbers. What an ability or technology that causes God to never sleep or slumber. This means God has no yesterday or tomorrow because He never slept. He is more awake and more active, and He lives in one eternal now! He is more up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper, and He knows every detail of your life to the extent of knowing the number of hair strands on your head!
Our scripture above shows us how we can tap into the technology of God, the ability not to faint, slumber, or get weary. He said to pray and not faint, which means the moment you stop praying, you get into a season of fainting. Your functionality is compromised by a lack of prayer. Get back your grip today and start praying like never before. It might be a few minutes of communing with God, but no prayer is in vain.
Let your spirit be attuned to the spiritual by dedicating yourself to prayer. Your spirit is transformed, and your prayers shall prevail over all circumstances. No more life of fainting, slumbering, or being downtrodden. The position of your prayer is the position of your victory in the name of Jesus!

LOOK IN THE MIRROR
2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV)
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The time we spend on average as an adult gazing in a mirror can be hours upon hours within a year. People look in the mirror to check if their physical appearance is on point. Some go beyond the extent of being late for work, missing flights or classes perfecting their outer look in the mirror. Looking in a physical mirror doesn’t do much other than showing you blemishes around your face.
The bible however talks of the Word of God as a mirror; you become more like God the more you read the Word of God! The mirror, your bible says you are blessed with all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3 KJV), and Christ became poor so that you become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). The more you read this, the more you become what the Word of the Lord says.
In this year of Heaven on Earth, mediate upon the Word of God, day and night, and you shall have good success. Go for the Word and you shall come back with a testimony in your health, business, education, marriage, in the name of Jesus! Make a deliberate decision today and take time to read the Word of God and pray.

JESUS IS MY RELATIVE
Leviticus 25:49 (KJV)
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
When we say Jesus Christ redeemed us from all manner of curses, it seems like there is a contention of tension in what the Bible says according to the above scripture. According to the above scripture, it seems impossible for someone who is not your relative to redeem you. This is something we call tension in the text in Theology because how can Jesus redeem us if He is not our relative?
Follow me here, in the branch of science there is something called autosomal DNA; it is a term used in genetic genealogy to describe DNA obtained from autosomal chromosomes. Stay with me; the question in your mind now is how can Jesus Christ have redeemed us when he was not our relative? The book of Ephesians 4:6 reveals that He is our “father” and in the book of Galatians reveals that He is our “mother”.
Scriptures reveal that He is seated far above the Heavens which means He is on the top, not forgetting that He is also our foundation which means He is at the bottom! Proverbs reveals He is our “sister”, and Hebrews reveals that He is our “brother”. In the book of Leviticus, He is also our “uncle” and our “cousin”. Jesus Christ therefore fulfils everything in everything! Square up your shoulders and walk out today knowing that you are not a stranger in Mount Zion, Jesus is your relative!

REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE
John 15:19 (KJV)
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
There is unrest in the world now as economies are crumbling, markets are crushing, and economic depression seems imminent, yet we will still find that some children of God are wondering how they will sail through this storm. Brothers and sisters, let me remind you, you do not need to sail through, simply refuse to participate!
You may ask, "man of God, how can I be exempt, yet my business, my job, and everything about me is in this physical world?" Listen, our scripture for today reveals that we are in this world, but we are not of this world! We don’t belong to the realm where there is chaos, lack, or depression.
We are supplied by the economy of Zion. We live a life of Heaven on Earth. When the world says there is a going down, we shall say there is a lifting up. As you read this prophetic message, expect the unexpected to happen to you! Your money, promotion and increase shall come from the least expected places. From this day onwards, when you hear them talking of economic depression, just tell them that you are not participating!

NEW LIFE
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
A born-again life is not just a mere transition from one life to another. It is a total revamp of the old system. The Bible says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The Word “new “ is the word “Kainos” in Greek which means a specie that never existed before. You are not just changed but totally replaced.
Your life is not a modified old model but a whole new thing. The Devil might try to remind you of your previous failures and all negative traits, but let him know that it’s not even you who failed in the past. The traits of failure were attached to the old you, not the new creation. Decree and declare that failure is not your portion and you shall have good success in everything that you touch.
Confront new targets and goals because the one that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. The genetic makeup running through you now is not something from your physical family but from above. As you read this prophetic message, let it be registered in your spirit, soul and body that you are born of God.

EMBODIMENT OF THE WORD
2 Corinthians 4:9 (KJV)
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
When you look at a polished diamond or gold ring you see the beauty and the glamour on that piece, but behind all that beauty there is a crushing and burning process that takes place. Apostle Paul mentioned all manner or forms of persecution come to us, as children of God but the best thing He said was that we are not destroyed or finished! When the world presses us, they should know exactly what we are made of.
We are born of the spirit and feed on the Word of God! The Word is our genetic makeup! We breathe the Word of God because we live by the Word! When pressed, what comes out of us is “Word juice” because we are made up of the Word of God. Nothing shall shake you or your family because you are deeply rooted in His Word. You are standing on Christ the solid rock, and no flood or persecution shall shake you in the name of Jesus!
I refuse to go to Heaven and stand before the generals, as one general without a scar. We might be persecuted, accused, or blackmailed, but everything will bring glory to God. Our ministry is a testimony of how God can bring out a valuable pearl out of the blazing flames of hate and persecution. When you have the Word of God in you, nothing can destroy you!

GOD OF WONDERS
Exodus 13:21 (KJV)
By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
The Bible said when the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord would be a pillar of fire at night and a cloud in the noonday. God gave them a tailor-made climate and environment to protect them from harsh desert conditions. The desert is very harsh, it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day.
With such knowledge, God chose to give them a tailor-made climate and environment. What the Israelites were experiencing was different from what other races were experiencing. Our God is a God of wonders and He is able to revamp your life in a way that nobody can comprehend. As you are feeding on this Word, the Lord is creating a unique climate of Heaven on Earth for you and your family.
What a wonder brothers and sisters! The bible calls us ambassadors of Christ, which means our supply is not from the natural realm but from above. When others cry, you shall not cry because where you belong there is no poverty, shame, or adversity. You are born of God, and your environment is God-kind. It’s a Heaven on Earth environment. You shall live a life of wonders in the name of Jesus.

FOCUS ON THE NEW THINGS
Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
It's fascinating how many Christians still feel attached to and trapped in the past. Some Christians are still wrestling with what happened to them three, four, or five decades ago. When you become a Christian, your life is now hidden in Christ. The old you was taken out, and a new spirit was supplanted in you. The Bible says old things pass away, and behold all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
That same thing that you have wrestled with for decades is the very thing that continues to drag you down. You are a new creature, born again into the kingdom of God's dear Son, Jesus. Hallelujah! God is prepared to speak to you directly, specifically, clearly, purposefully, and passionately about your destiny, finances, and family. He is prepared to give you a Heaven on Earth experience. But your past continues to hunt you down.
At this juncture of your life, do not let the past cloud your thought process. The main text in today's scripture is very clear: God is doing something new in your life. Get hold of it, and you shall shine.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a new creature. God's DNA now flows in my veins, and I cannot be harassed by my past. I am bold and strong. I am not a slave of fear, for God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and sound mind. I live a Heaven on Earth lifestyle. Hallelujah!

HE IS TOUCHED
Hebrews 4:15 (KJV)
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Some Christians hold the conviction that Jesus is far removed from them. Do not think that God is far from what you are overwhelmed with. Remember, you are the headquarters of the godhead. When Paul says, "you are the body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:27 KJV), it means that when you move, God is moving, when you sit, God is sitting, when you declare, God is declaring. You represent God here on earth; this representation is not theoretical; it's a reality.
The problem is that most Christians have not come to the realization that they are God carriers. If you are born again, the Spirit of God takes residence in you. The Bible says, "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV). The reality of your life today is that Jesus dwells in you and is touched with what troubles you. That sickness worrying you doesn't give comfort to Jesus. He wants to heal you! Jesus is not gratified when you are poverty-stricken, as some would suggest. No, that's not Jesus' doing. He's ready to intervene when you allow him to. Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the Lord's battle-axe. I shall experience God's power at a higher level. I know God's Spirit in me is doing the work. Therefore, I am confident I can do all things, for I know that all things are possible with God. Amen!

EMPTY YOURSELF
Matthew 20:28 (NIV)
Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
Christ exemplified the true nature and attitude of what it means to serve. Imagine the King of glory from ages past, the one who holds time in his hands, at one point decided to step into time for the sake of reconciling man back to himself. Jesus did not consider His status; He was determined to win back mankind and took it upon Himself to do it as a servant.
When you live a life of servitude, you show Christ's nature. In Christ, we are called to serve. That is why He said if you want to be the greatest in the kingdom, you must learn how to serve. The very act of emptying oneself should be your mindset today. A true leader always leads by example, which is the form of servitude we are called to illustrate.
The scripture for today is very powerful in that Jesus Christ, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Creator Himself steps into creation to serve the very thing He has made. That is so humbling. When we grasp the impact of Jesus taking on the form of a servant, then we are ready for ministry.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am called to serve, and I am ready to serve. Christ is my example, and nothing by any means shall hold me back from doing ministry work. I am empowered in the service of God with the clear vision of making Hell empty and Heaven full. Hallelujah!

TAKE THE WORD SERIOUSLY
Philippians 2:10 (KJV)
That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
I vividly recall when our ministry was still in its infancy. Even though there were just a few members, I was preaching and teaching with the same passion as I do today! Back then, I remember delivering a message which my spiritual father, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, ministered entitled Partakers of His Divine Nature.
The following Sunday, one of the congregants rolled a wheelchair of an elderly woman in our midst. She was eighty-two years old and wanted to be healed. It was a challenge without precedence. I had a vision before that encounter where I saw arrows flowing out of my extremities as I prayed for people. As I began to pray for this old lady, I was expecting arrows to flow out of me, but nothing happened.
God, in His mercy, revealed to me at that exact moment that it wasn't the arrows that were flowing from me in my vision, but rather He alone, Jesus! I put this to practice, and the eighty-two-year-old lady stood up from her wheelchair and began moving around. When you value and take the word of God seriously and apply it in your life, it will certainly work for you.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am not alone. I have the name above all names, the name that makes demons tremble. The power in that name can demolish all forces of darkness. I will use the name for the benefit of the kingdom. I am victorious as I use the mighty name of Jesus!

DUTY OF MAN
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
No student of the Bible will discuss wisdom and exclude Solomon. During his reign, Solomon was the wisest, wealthiest, and smartest. In fact, Solomon's fame was sought after by other royalties from afar. Solomon had a special appeal with women to the extent that he had 300 women as concubines and 700 wives at home (1 Kings 11:3 KJV). The splendour and elegance of Solomon's palace and servants are still talked about today.
To put it bluntly, Solomon had it all, and I mean all that life could offer a human being. Notice that despite having all that pertains to life and the majesty of his kingdom, Solomon was eager to draw our attention to what he concluded was the most important in life.
Solomon's experiences in life should make one realize that he was an authority in this area. If Solomon were alive today, he would be Number 1 on Forbes magazine's richest man, year in and year out, with no one coming close. Solomon's conclusion on life's essential elements, as captured in today's scripture, should become our standard. Take it to heart and see your life change for the better. Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My purpose is defined, and what I do for God will last forever. All other things outside of God's work are fleeting. I am ready now to do what I was born to do, which is to serve God with my whole being and substance. Hallelujah!

A CALL TO DUTY
2 Timothy 2:4 (KJV)
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
A Christian needs to cultivate the attitude of a soldier. Being a soldier implies that at any point in time, you are prepared to be called to duty when the need arises. A soldier is always on guard and stands ready. There is no point where the soldier is relaxing, especially when assigned to the battlefront.
The Bible tells us that we are soldiers in the Lord's army, on duty for our Lord with no time to entangle ourselves with other affairs. We must personify the stance of a warrior, a fighter, a soldier armed with the Word of God to do battle. When a Christian's mentality is absorbed with this sense of duty and call to service, there will be little concern over trivial matters.
When the Christian realizes that he stands on the battlefield in the midst of enemies aiming at him to take his life, he will recalibrate and focus on the essentials: praying always without ceasing, studying and knowing the word of God, not forsaking the gathering of the brethren, and taking service in the house of the Lord very seriously. You are a soldier, a warrior on the battlefield with no time to spare. So keep your focus on the gallantry it requires.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a fighter; I am armed with the incorruptible word of God that can quench every fiery dart of the enemy. I cannot be defeated as a warrior in Christ's army. I will keep marching forward. Hallelujah!

THE NAME OF JESUS
Philippians 2:10 (KJV)
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
You often see me shout the name of Jesus when a miracle happens. I always ask the congregation and the church to give a big shout of praise to the name of Jesus. This is not mere excitement and overflow of joy. It's the understanding that through the name of Jesus, the crippled can walk.
Yes, it's through the name Jesus that the blind see, the deaf hear, the barren bear children, cancer is healed, and the broke become multi-millionaires. Miracles, signs, and wonders are bound to happen when you call that name in the character and power of its very essence.
There are critics and agnostics who take lightly the name of Jesus, but for me and my house and that of Spirit Embassy, we have seen and witnessed that name work miracle again and again! The name of Jesus is power. Sickness, disease, and poverty bow to that name. Speak the name of Jesus to your bank account; it will respond to that name without fail. Money is coming to you now, in the name of Jesus! These are not empty words that I am declaring now to you. Receive your healing, in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I know whose I am. I belong to Christ. I put on the character of Christ in the name of Jesus. I am victorious, I am an overcomer and barrier breaker. I cannot fail for I know the name of Jesus, and every problem in my life shall bow! Hallelujah!

FEED ON THE WORD
John 4:34 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Jesus' disciples were astonished to be told by the Master that He eats food they were unaware of. The scripture is clear on this: Jesus considers the Word of God and doing the work of God a buffet. Jesus is telling us that you can feed on God's word and hunger will go.
God's word gives strength, vitality to the soul, and revitalizes the spirit. Ezekiel puts it this way: "And he said to me, Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it. Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey." Ezekiel 3:3 (ESV).
When you start feeding on the Word of God, your spirit is more vigilant and active. Suddenly, your mind is renewed, and your expectations are realized. The Word of God is not empty literature and fables, as some may suggest. No! All the ingredients you need to grow spiritually are in God's Word. The opposite is also true. When you fail to feed on the Word of God, your spirit is starved and malnourished. You need fresh manna which is the Word of God. Feed on it daily!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I feed on the bread of Heaven. My diet is solidly on the word of God; therefore, I cannot be malnourished. My mind is alert, my soul rejoices, and my spirit is well-fed. Thank you, Jesus! Amen.

SEE AFAR
Genesis 13:15 (AMPC)
For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your posterity forever.
Your view of things can limit you. When God was ready to bless Abraham, the father of faith, He told Abraham that if he could count the stars, he could number his descendants! Counting the stars is as impossible as counting the grains of sand on the seashores. God was stretching the vision of Abraham to see beyond the now. His eyes were fixed on himself, his age, and the physical reality of his and Sarah's bodies. These realities limited him, yet God, who promised that Abraham would be a father of nations, was using a different lens.
God was introducing Abraham to another realm of reality that confuses human understanding. From eternity past to eternity future, God never lies, so whatever He says is reality. God says let the poor say I am rich because He sees you as prosperous despite your current financial position. When you can also see it, you can possess it!
For too long, you have relegated yourself as a weak, struggling, broke, and busted individual. God is telling you to get up from your slumber, look afar, and see beyond your present temporal circumstances. You are a born winner, and that's who you are in Christ!

IF NOT GRACE, THEN WHAT?
Psalm 31:19 (KJV)
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
When my beautiful wife, Prophetess BeBe Angel, wrote the book Grace Driven Life, it was a milestone that captured the core doctrinal interpretation of the grace message we preach. When we speak of the grace message, it does not mean giving people a license to sin. Romans 2:4 NKJV says, "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" Grace is an overflow of goodies to the extent that despite your current inadequacies, God continues to heap blessings upon your life.
Grace is a free gift from God with no strings attached. It is delivered to you even before you face that predicament. Grace is what happens to you when you seem far removed from the sphere of God's mercy, yet you find yourself as the principal beneficiary of His goodness that overcomes you. It's not your own human effort that makes you think that you are deserving. No, it's God's way of giving out of His abundance of love, a gift that will defy logic to demonstrate to you. He cares!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have received the abundance of God's grace. I rejoice always and am ready to spread the Word. I know God by His Spirit has poured His love towards me in excess. I am a grace collector!

DEEPENING THE DEPTH
Romans 11:33 (NLT)
Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
There is a place in God where you might think you have arrived, but let me tell you, this is not the case. The angels call God holy (Revelation 4:8 KJV) because whenever He turns or moves, they see a different facet of God that they have not seen before. Imagine that from eternity past, from age to age, God shows himself differently, to the angels' amazement.
There are dimensions in God that are unfathomable and limitless. Every prophet of old that walked the earth saw a dimension of God never seen before. For example, Abraham was called a friend of God. God liked Abraham so much that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit appeared to him and had supper with him physically!
When we pioneered miracle money years ago, there was fierce opposition. People felt as though God's benevolence could not shift finances in such a fashion like the provision of miracle money. However, with time, people began to realize this is a dimension of God that cannot be denied. The more you walk with God, the more you realize there are dimensions you haven't tapped into. The more you go deeper into the things of God, the more you realize that His riches are unsearchable and how exciting that is!

I am going deeper into the things of God, and my life is being transformed from glory to glory in the mighty name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

HAVE YOU SPOKEN?
Jeremiah 23:29 (KJV)
Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Some Christians get it twisted when it comes to emphatically declaring and decreeing things in their life. For example, they complain instead of authoritatively speaking against a situation that has become a torment in their family. Some Christians have adopted self-counselling either in silence, internalizing their problems, or simply singing Amazing Grace whilst their boat is sinking! I pray that you are not that kind of Christian.
A Christian means Christ-like or imitator of Christ. Jesus was never quiet when faced with opposition from the Pharisees or Sadducees; whether in natural confrontation wherein He rebukes the wind, whether facing demons or Satan himself, Jesus spoke with authority that made an impact.
We are ambassadors of Christ in this world. We can boldly say that "for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV). You are an ambassador clothed in military camouflage. Speak against the enemy with words that will change the course of your destiny. Refuse to be quiet. Speak with the authority Christ has given you in His word. Enforce your authority now in the name of Jesus! Amen.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
There is power in my words. I shall not keep silent anymore. I will declare and confess what God says about me. I speak life and resurrection to anything that seems dead in my life. I shall not die but live to declare the Word of the Lord. Hallelujah!

WHEN POWER IS PRESENT
Luke 9:42 (NLT)
As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him to the ground and threw him into a violent convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his father.
In the presence of God, God's power is undeniable and cannot be concealed. I have not yet seen where we have service, even at the start of the ministry, that I have not witnessed the power of God in motion. Every time we meet as a congregation, I see myself walking in the demonstration of the power of God. There are moments when I go to the service thinking to myself and even announcing to the congregants that I will not prophesy, but I find myself prophesying again and again.
In this last dispensation, the world needs to see and experience God in his fullness, as Paul says, not only in words but in the demonstration of power (1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV). People tend to be critical and debate about the potency of God's power when they see no demonstration of power.
In this year of Heaven on Earth, let the evidence in the miraculous, signs, and wonders overpower the wisdom of men. This perverse generation will begin to recognize that God, the highest authority, rules in the affairs of men when they see the demonstration of power and manifestation of Heaven on Earth in your life!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As a child of God, I live a life of Heaven on Earth. I am endowed with the power to heal the sick. I am not powerless but powerful. I shall live a life of exploits, and my life will always portray the power of God that is resident in my being.

OFFLOAD THE BURDEN
Acts 4:20 (KJV)
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Someone may ask, what is a burden, and how can I offload it? These are legitimate questions. Let me start by saying Prophet Jeremiah in his day felt a kind of unusual burden, which was declaring the Word of God. Prophet Jeremiah lamented that he couldn't speak in the name of the Lord anymore. Still, at the end, he said, "...I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay" (Jeremiah 20:9 KJV)! Wow!
A burden is a huge weight; it is a problem that you feel the responsibility to provide a solution for. It becomes a burden when an urgent need must be met in the church or on the mission field. A burden pulls you out of your comfort zone and gives you sleepless nights whilst it is unresolved.
When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable after seeing a need in ministry, it becomes a personal weight to you, and it is your burden that you are called to handle. Once you have acted promptly, there will be a degree of calmness and peace.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am ready to act on my calling. I do not entertain complacency in the house of the Lord. I know I am moving from glory to glory. I know there is more in Christ, so I am prepared to go higher and deeper in the name of Jesus!

PROPHETIC SPEED
PROPHETIC SPEED
1 Kings 18:46 (NLT)
Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.
Speed is required when you need to make progress, and urgency demands swiftness, not slowness. In an emergency, the ambulance doesn't run at normal speed. When there is a life-and-death situation, all traffic rules and regulations are discarded for an ambulance.
To restore normality to the person on life support, unconscious, or in a coma, they are rushed to the hospital at breakneck speed. Slowness is the direct opposite of speed; in this kingdom, slowness is a deficiency of progress. One of the tactics employed by the enemy is to keep the Christian in one spot. When God is involved in your business, marriage, finances, career, and family, you will make strides both in the spiritual and in the natural.
Some of us have been too kind to the enemy and treated every punch thrown at them as normal, but there is nothing normal about stagnation. If stagnation is your issue, you need to push your case very fast with the Word of God in prayer. It pays to be on the offense when it comes to confrontation with the enemy. This is war, and the time for divine rescue is now.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I cannot slow down my pace. I am running my race with vigor and alertness. I am the head and not the tail, and I shall run and recover everything the enemy has stolen from me in the name of Jesus! Amen.

COUNTED AMONG THE RICH
COUNTED AMONG THE RICH
Isaiah 60:3 (NIV)
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
At age 65, Colonel Harland Sanders, the Founder of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), began franchising his chicken business using his $105 monthly Social Security check. Today, KFC operates more than 5,200 restaurants in the United States and more than 15,000 units around the world. In 2020 alone, the revenue went off the roof at almost $28 billion! What an incredible journey for a man whose life history is replete with struggling to make ends meet.
Age should never be your limitation. Until you start to harness the potential within you, you will continue to struggle and detest those who have discovered themselves. Adam was lonely, yet Eve was locked up in him. The problem with most people is that they have counted themselves out of the success ladder because of age, background, social stratification, educational knowledge, etc.
If KFC's Founder, at the age of 65, could turn things around to form a multi-million business in his lifetime and leave generational wealth for his descendants worth USD billions, how much more you? You are filled with the Holy Ghost and with power, and when you speak, creation listens! This year of Heaven on Earth is the year for your story and status to change permanently.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am rich, I am wealthy, and my money is coming! I live a life of Heaven on Earth. I shall not lack any good thing. My life is full of joy, and I shall forever praise the Lord, my maker. Wherever I go, I shall become a blessing. This is my portion in the mighty name of Jesus. Hallelujah!

JUST ONE VOICE
JUST ONE VOICE
Genesis 3:11 (ESV)
He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"
When God came down in the cool of the evening and communed with Adam and Eve, He was their sole Father and Friend. God's fatherly bond with Adam was so unique that God created animals and told Adam to name them. In that divine atmosphere, the voice of God as a Father gives purpose and meaning to Adam's very existence.
Adam made a point to listen to one voice, so he enjoyed the ultimate peace of mind of being nurtured by the Father. The conversation between the Devil and Eve, who later convincingly brought Adam into the picture, made a mess of their divine destiny and purpose and tugged humanity into it by default.
God's anger towards Adam and Eve was wrapped up in a question: "WHO TOLD YOU?" (Genesis 3:11). The same question echoes to this day. Who told you that you could not bear a child? Who told you that you would endure poverty for the rest of your life? Notice, it's very important who is feeding you with information. God's voice over your life is coded with prosperity to make you a transgenerational blessing. This year, stop listening to several voices that will derail you from your God-giving destiny and listen to one voice.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION

YOUR SEASON OF RISING
Psalm 92:13 (KJV)
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Years have come and gone, and you are still here. The fact that God kept you alive during the pandemic's peak (or as some say, "scamdemic") proves that you are special to God. Even though there may be naysayers around you who make a career out of making a mockery of your current mess, there is a divine calling upon your life that cannot be denied. You know it, and your family and others around you know it too.
Your situation erupted simply because God was showing off your dedication and commitment to His work and the Word. Now tell those thinking that you will not rise again, this is the Deeper Life Phase, and I will not go down. Pray for them to live long enough to see you rising like the horn of a unicorn (Psalm 92:10 KJV).
In the Deeper Life Phase, you are rising up when men call for a pulling down. Like Job, your life is coded in layers and chapters. And very soon, before the end of this very year, the people who continue to put you down will be the ones to congratulate and celebrate your final chapter. You will be crowned with a double for your trouble! Hallelujah!

TRULY LOVING
TRULY LOVING
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
One of the attributes of God is LOVE, which by definition encompasses affection, friendship, fondness, adoration, passion, amity, feeling, tenderness, and devotion. God, in His mercy and grace, identifies with every word mentioned here, plus more. I wonder if you can really capture the essence of what God's love truly is to you. The power of love has been demonstrated in God's ability to freely give Jesus to us to redeem us back to Himself.
The Christian experience for some in this day and age is casually speaking of love. And in reality, there is little or no apparent show of love in character and deeds. The most contentious setting sometimes is found in the church. Congregations and church members sometimes are factional and tend to relate to each other on certain affinities.
There can be ethnic, social, racial, or economic closeness within the church; others become outsiders through members of the same congregation. Yet when we are cut, we all bleed red blood despite the colour of our skin. In a similar fashion, God's love is poured out to mankind regardless of where we live, our pigmentation, social status, or racial divide; think about it! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am the embodiment of God's love. God's love is seen through me as I relate to and care for others. I cannot afford to live a life void of love. The Word of God is at work in me; therefore, I will always show the true nature of God through Love!

Job 22:24 (KJV)
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
In recent years, your sowing has made a memorial before your Creator and your records are archived in Heaven. You have given, given, and given again. You have planted and waited. You have partnered with God and sowed seeds in tears, but this is your year of harvest. I am seeing an abundant harvest that will change your life forever to testify that the Lord is gracious and merciful. You will wax great!
The time for your massive harvest is now, and you will pile up gold like dust! You have entered your wealthy place which will be continuous and unstoppable. You have been raised now as a kingdom financier who will sponsor God's work at another level.
Do not renounce prosperity that you shall wear as a garment, for God says, "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant" (Psalm 35:27 KJV). God is the engineer and designer of the wealthy place you have entered. Your sowing has not only been in recent years, but even as we crossed over into 2023, you did it again. Now, your harvest is here. Rejoice forevermore! Hallelujah!

YOUR BENEFITS
YOUR BENEFITS
Galatians 4:7 (NIV)
So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
When I acquired citizenship in the United Kingdom, certain benefits became mine, but initially, I was unaware of them. For example, when moving house, I was entitled to a certain amount of money to assist with the furnishings of my new home. As a child of God, you have rights and privileges which you are entitled to simply by being born into the Kingdom of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
There is a difference between knowing your rights and benefits and actually claiming them. Some Christians know or pretend to know they have benefits, but the sad reality is they never claim them and continue to walk in poverty. The benefits and privileges of being a child of God are enormous! In this year, given to us by God as the Year of Heaven On Earth, it's time to claim what belongs to you in the name of Jesus.
The Bible declares, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:12 KJV). Wake up to the reality of whose you are and who you are in Christ and your victory will be glaring, in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As a child of God, I am determined to claim my rights, benefits, and privileges in Christ Jesus. I will not waive my entitlements or surrender what is mine to the enemy. I shall live a life of Heaven on Earth, in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

YOU ARE CHOSEN
YOU ARE CHOSEN
Acts 28:23 (KJV)
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
There is a distinction between Moses and the prophets. This distinction is not placed in God's Word by error, no, not by any long shot or figment of imagination. God places Moses in a category by himself, far removed from the other Prophets.
When I prophesy about nations, presidents, prime ministers, royals, and even sports, and they come to pass, it is because God chooses to reveal to me the secret things which belong to Him alone. Another thing to note is God knows that I will speak what He commands me to speak, even in the face of threats and inconveniences.
God is not a respecter of persons, and He could choose to use you at any time. Some have been willing and obedient, and God uses them mightily to accomplish His purposes on earth. God's word tells us such people need to be feared because they speak the counsel of God, and it comes to pass. Amen.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I speak what I want to see happen, and so shall it be. I speak the voice of the Almighty God. I cannot be moved, and men can do nothing to me because I am wired with God's strength. I shall fulfill the purposes of God in my life now and always.

BE FEARLESS
BE FEARLESS
2 Timothy 3:2 (NLT)
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
This generation has gone too far to the point where it has degenerated, where moral corruption is applauded and paraded in the public square. There is too much noise out there cheering the wrong things. This implies that to stand for God, and you need to be louder than the wrong noises.
The outcry for the things of God and godly righteousness must be loudest. The noises out there have even crept into the church unawares and caused preachers and pastors to be muted. Most of what we hear today in churches are nothing more than vain philosophies and enticing words of human knowledge that lack the demonstration of power!
Ours is to demonstrate the power of God to the point that the agnostic and atheist will change their view on God. In this year of Heaven on Earth, your voice for God will be the loudest. You cannot be muted. In this Deeper Life Phase, you will not be vulnerable to the tentacles of the evil one. You are secure in Christ. So, now is the time for you to demonstrate the power that will confound the wise. Be strong, for the Lord is with you. Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am sold out to Jesus, and my life is in Christ. I now live the crucified life, ready, willing, and able to stand for Jesus in the face of adversity. I cannot be shaken, and I will never compromise who I am in Christ in the Deeper Life Phase!

METROPOLIS OF ZION
METROPOLIS OF ZION
Psalms 76:2 (KJV)
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
When we say we speak Spirit, it's because of the city that we belong to, which is Zion. The Bible says that Abraham was looking for a city whose foundation, builder, and maker are God. Abraham believed in God to the point of knowing that there is a city beyond the ordinary architecture of mortals, the city that represents God's presence. Abraham craved to be an inhabitant of that city to the extent that he lived in tents, moving from place to place in search of that metropolis.
I have met people in Zion, and when I meet them in a church gathering, I can instantly recall our meeting in that heavenly metropolis called Zion. The prior meeting in Zion gives me insight to declare things in someone's life, and the person confirms, usually with disbelief!
In Zion, ideas that change destinies are downloaded. There is no supply shortage in this city, and scarcity is unheard of. Once you have that consciousness that though you are in this world but not of this world, you will begin to decree and declare things into existence and experience Heaven on Earth in this year and beyond. In Zion, there is no sickness, disease, or poverty. Let this be your reality today, and you will experience power from on high in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a citizen of Zion, hallelujah. Therefore, I decree and declare favour right now. I have abundance in my finances, and I shall never lack anything in my life. My going out and coming in shall be blessed now and always in the name of Jesus.

ENERGY LEVELS
ENERGY LEVELS
Acts 17:28 (KJV)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Years ago, we were hiring a place for our Sunday service. It was in an area called the Gay Village, centered in Manchester in the United Kingdom. The 'Gay Village' is an actual LGBT+ community. In the place we were hiring at that time, the manager was openly gay. In one of our services, he called time off while we were in the middle of the service. I ignored him, but he signalled me to meet him at the door.
His presumptuousness in interrupting the things of God provoked my spirit, so l stepped down from the pulpit, suspended my preaching duties, and went outside the entrance, where I drew an invisible line. I decreed and declared that if the manager attempted to cross that line, he would encounter the power of God at another energy level.
The manager then called two huge bodyguards to expel us from the building. When the manager tried to cross that invisible line, he instantly dropped to the ground under the power of God. The two bodyguards also fled the scene. Raise your energy level and see the devil flee before you in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I raise my energy level at this very moment. It shall never be diminished. I shall apply pressure constantly on the enemy. The tables have turned in my favour, and the enemy's camp is now in total turmoil and confusion. I have put the enemy to flight in the mighty name of Jesus!

BE ENFIRED
BE ENFIRED
Genesis 3:24 (NASB)
So He drove the man out; and at the east side of the Garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.
Before the throne of God, you find coals of fire that seraphim walk on. The Bible says our enemy, the devil, is a cherub but was able to walk on the coals of fire like the seraph. The devil's DNA and genetic makeup are fire. Every element used against the enemy will repel and demolish except one thing, which is fire. When John the Baptist introduced Jesus emphatically that he would baptize you with water and fire.
Whatever the enemy throws at you, the response is fire. It's time to fight fire with fire. The fire of the Holy Ghost is the ultimate weapon against the fiery missiles of the enemy. That fire of the Holy Ghost is part of your DNA. You have it, and it's time to manifest your true identity. He that is in you is more powerful than he that is in the world. Being enfired is simply being on fire for Christ. You are a fireball, ready to confront the enemy. You have an advantage, so be bold and be strong. Your victory is guaranteed in the name of Jesus!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am on fire and ready to confront the enemy head-on. I will not relinquish my territory nor surrender my position to the enemy. I will not allow myself to be defeated under the circumstances, but will always be above the circumstances, in the Name of Jesus. Hallelujah!

WHAT A PRIVILEGE
WHAT A PRIVILEGE
Acts 20:24 (KJV)
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Apostle Paul was the forerunner who delivered to us the revelation of the Gospel of grace, the message we preach today. The reality that we are given in this last dispensation to run with this GoodNews is evidence that we are the fastest. In a relay race, the last runner is the fastest to take the team to the finishing line.
We continue to run with this message, compelled to finish this race bequeathed to us by God's generals. We are not distracted because we understand that a runner must be focused on the finish line and the prize set before him. In the grandstand, we have God's generals who went before us before our dispensation, such as Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Kathryn Kuhlman.
All these generals ran the race so powerfully, yet they handed the baton to us to get over the finish line. Running this race is indeed a benefit beyond what was available to others. You are part of an elite group empowered by God to finish this race. So don't give up. For you will surely end in victory and exuberant joy! Hallelujah!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am running my course. My eyes are fixed on the finish line, and I will not be deterred or distracted by anything. The prize is now too close to look back; therefore, forward ever, backward never! Hallelujah!
