BE HEALED OF ANY FORM OF BARRENNESS IN YOUR LIFE

Good day, beloved, and welcome to the 17th of April.  Today is the 108th day of the year 2024.

BE HEALED OF ALL FORMS OF BARRENNESS in YOUR LIFE in the name of Jesus

Zechariah 8:12 “For the seed will be prosperous, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will yield its produce, and the skies will give their dew. To the remnant of these people, I will give all these things as an inheritance.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the wonder of my being. As I step out, may I step into grace in the name of Jesus, may my efforts begin to yield beyond the expected results in the name of Jesus

Dear child of God, all your efforts will begin to yield necessary fruits and dividends in the name of Jesus. I stand on Deuteronomy 30:9 to decree and declare that everything around you and about you will be prosperous for God will once again take delight in making you prosperous in the name of Jesus. I speak authoritatively upon you that as it is written in Proverbs 16:3, your handwork will be established in the name of Jesus

As it is written in 1 John 1:2, your soul and body will be prosperous. I decree with Psalm 90:17 that your efforts will enjoy continuous increase in the name of Jesus. Holding on to Genesis 2:15 God will take care of you, he will put you in a new and evergreen garden of his divine provisions in the name of Jesus

Again, I stand on Jeremiah 33:6 to decree that in good health of mind and body, you will  be prosperous in the name of Jesus. I speak to you with Luke 24:19 and Act 10:38 that he will come your way with his power to heal and deliver you in the name of Jesus

Any symptom of barrenness in you is detected and cleared in the name of Jesus. I stand on Luke 1:30-33 to decree that like angel Gabriel to Mary, I say to you, fear not ,for you have found favour with God and you will give birth to a baby that will make you happy in the name of Jesus

So I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

HEAVENLY ARMY OF ANGELS WILL PROTECT YOU

Good day, beloved, and welcome to the 14th of April. Today is the 105th Day in the year 2024

HEAVENLY ARMY OF ANGELS WILL PROTECT YOU in the name of Jesus

2 King 6:18 As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the wonder of my being.  As I step out this day,bless my day o Lor God and keep me in your Fatherly comfort in the name of Jesus. I decree as a mother comforts her son, O Lord, I stand on Isaiah 66:13 to pray, comfort me with your presence and power in the name of Jesus

Dear child of God, as you step out today, grace and mercy will accompany you in the name of Jesus.  Every step of yourself today, you will not fall short of the divine accompaniment in the name of Jesus. Like Tobias,  Azarias will accompany you in the name of Jesus; the angel of God Raphael of the book of Tobith 4:1-2 and 5:1-22, will lead you into success and achievement, holistic deliverance and healing in the name of Jesus;

I stand on Psalm 34:7 to decree divine encampment around you home and businesses in the name of Jesus; oh the army of angels described in Baruch 6:6 will lead you to victory, the angels described in 2 King 6:15-17 will protect you and as Psalm 91:10 says no evil will come upon you or your ways or even your homes and workplace in the name of Jesus.  For you will enjoy divine presence of the wall of fire as in Zechariah 2:5, yet as it is in Isaiah 43:2 you will not be consumed and you will not be wiped off in the name of Jesus

Look, no matter what you are facing, you will not be trapped down, no meltdown on your path, for henceforth, the fourth man in the fire of Shedrach,Messach and Abednego in Daniel 3:19-29 will be with you in the name of Jesus.  The heavenly army of angels around Elisha in 2 King 6:18-19, will protect you and instead you been led in their direction and dictates, you will lead them in your direction in the name of Jesus. For power will change position in your advantage in the name of Jesus. 

Look at what Psalm 3:6, says  “I will not be afraid for ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about;” and Isaiah 60:22 says, A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time and Romans 8:31 says,  If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? Hence  Psalm 27:3, “Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident in the name of Jesus

So I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

THE GOOD IN GOOD FRIDAY

WHAT IS GOOD IN GOOD FRIDAY?
Good day, beloved, and welcome the 29th March 2024. It is Good Friday.

I welcome you to the Friday of Jesus’ death. It is the Friday that defines what love really is, beyond words.  A Friday that shows us that when God says ‘I love you’ it is not just a mere expression or feelings; it is a thing of action.  I have wondered and continue to wonder why this day is called “Good Friday”. Mere observing what actually took place on this day, the excruciating pain, the suffering and the anguish, so cruel that it can be described as the highest act of wickedness in the part of man. Yet it is called Good Friday. 
The wickedness of man were shown in the plots of the Sanhedrin, the Chief priests, the Jews, Herod and Pilate who though knew he was not guilty of all that were levied against him yet were bent on killing him; they preferred Barabbas, a thief, to Jesus. It is nothing but pure envy and wickedness. The men and women who on Palm Sunday had shouted hosanna in the highest were now shouting to crucify him based on falsehood. Imagine the pain of his mother, the disciples, and friends. Amidst all these, Christ died for the greater good. This is what makes it Good Friday.
The name Good Friday is the most appropriate for the day Jesus died because though terrible as his death, maybe it earned us God’s salvation.  It was the beginning of the new era.

The day of Jesus’ death is Good Friday because our condition, which he came to remedy, was a terrible and devastating one. The fall of man at Garden of Eden was remedied by the death of Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane.  Man was cast out of the Garden of Eden, and to bring him back, Christ was cast out of the city and killed in the Garden of Eden.  Man sinned, and death was the penalty, but Christ, though sinless, paid the penalty with his life and spared man’s life.
Hence, it is Good Friday, because without this day, there would not be Easter Sunday.  It is Good Friday because it is a day that brought God’s forgiveness to us and melts God’s wrath and anger away. It is Good Friday because the eternal punishment meant for us was replaced with eternal life.  It is Good Friday because his cross became the meeting point of divine wrath with divine mercy: a kiss of righteousness and peace (Psalm 85:10), the earth became married to heaven, the reconciliation most anticipated in the history of creation came to be on Good Friday.
Congratulations, dear friends, it is Good Friday.

DISGRACE WILL NOT REPLACE GRACE IN YOUR LIFE

Good day, beloved, and welcome to the 28th of March.  Today is the 89th day of 2024, and Holy Thursday

Disgrace will not replace grace in your life

You will not be disgraced out of your office and covenant with God…
Your family will not become a thing of scorn or derision or pity…
You will not be disgraced out of your marriage in the name of Jesus…
You will not be abandoned to the will and dictates  of the enemy in the name of Jesus

Every good thing due to you will not be denied you  in the name of Jesus… 
Psalm 34:10 says God will not deny you that desire of your heart, and Psalm 84:11 says you will not be deprived of anything good in the name of Jesus
For James 1:17 says  every good and perfect gift comes from above, and John 3:27 says no one receives anything except if given from heaven
Yes, heaven will gift you, and with good health of mind and body, you will enjoy divine maximum support and security in the name of Jesus

I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

WITH HUMILITY, “YOU WILL GO FAR”

God’s chosen people

WITH HUMILITY, “YOU WILL GO FAR ” IN LIFE

First reading Isaiah 50:4-7
Psalmist: Psalm 21:8-9,17-20,23-24
Second reading: Philippians 2:6-11
Gospel : Mark 14:1-15:47

I welcome you to Palm Sunday.  It is the 24th of March and the 84th day of the year 2024, year B.

Today, according to the Church’s calendar, is the beginning of the Holy week. It is a great week because we meditate on the greatest event in human history, the event of our salvation. We begin this event with today’s celebration of Palm Sunday. As the name goes, it is the day Christ entered Jerusalem as saviour and King but not like the imperial King of the time, not with entourage , not with soldiers  or imperial horses but with a donkey. And the people welcomed him with all forms of enthusiasm, by placing Palm fronds and even their clothes on the ground for him: the Gospel of John puts it this way – they took palm branches and went out to meet Him” (John 12:13). In Christianity, palm represents victory and the return of peace.

It then means that Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem is a demonstration of victory won with humility: palm and donkey. The archenemy of man’s life was conquered first by this entry. In the prophecy of Zechariah, he described Israel’s kings as humility personified: Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion. Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious,lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey (Zechariah 9:9). It means his identity is synonymous with humility. He himself is humble.

But why did Jesus have to come as a humble king, the God who created the whole universe , who has everything at his disposal yet only finds a baby donkey appropriate for this glorious and triumphant entry?The reason is not farfetched, because the enemy, the devil or Satan, is pride personified and has inflicted mortal man with this vicious weapon and the only weapon against the devil  and remedy for man’s deteriorated state was Humility: Look at how St. Paul described Satan: Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil PROWLS around like a ROARING lion, seeking someone to DEVOUR (1 Peter 5:8). St. John described Satan as Father of lies and of all liars John 8:44; The prophecy of Isaiah 14:12-15 and the book of Revelation. 12:9) used the imagery of the defeated. Dragon imagery is pride, and so to conquer him, Christ came with a weapon that can never be dulled, humble.

Humility is supernatural. It is power and strength, not weakness or foolishness. According to a monk, Thomas Merton, pride makes us artificial, but humility makes us real. Humility gives sustainability in life either as a leader or a follower. Have you ever heard someone use this sentence: “You will go far.” When you hear this, it is an indication that you are doing well. But let me tell you, the fastest drone that will drive you far in life is humility. No wonder John Ruskin, a 19th-century art critic, wrote, “I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility.” Christ humbled himself as we see in the analysis of St. Paul in Philippians 2:5-11, and he was exalted and given a name above every other name because he humbled himself.

St. Peter admonishes us further, young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5-6 ).”The virtue of humility, being the exact opposite of pride, is the best weapon to kill pride! Humility is the only mirror to seeing your own weakness. To be humble means to have a growth mindset. And if you have a growth mindset, you will reach your full potential, for it is an asset for self-improvement. It helps in navigating life after each fall. If you combine humility with your passion, vision, and mission in life, spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, relationship wise, you will get the top, overcoming every failure as they come.

So today, don’t forget with humility, “You will go far.”

YOU WILL NOT BE A VICTIM IN THE PLACE YOU SEEK VICTORY

Good day, beloved, and welcome to the March 23rd. Today is the 83rd in the year 2024.

Today, YOU WILL NOT BE A VICTIM IN THE SAME PLACE. YOU SEEK VICTORY

Matthew 14:30-31 But while Peter was walking on the water, he saw the wind and the waves. He was afraid and began sinking into the water. He shouted, “Lord, save me!”Then Jesus caught Peter with his hand. He said, “Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?”

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the wonder of my being. As I step out today, be with me that I will not be a victim in the same space of my glory in the name of Jesus. 

By the scribes of Jesus in Isaiah 53:3, & 5 I decree you will not be a victim. I stand on Galatians 3:13 to tell you that you will not be a victim; I decree and declare with 2 Corinthians 8:9 that you child of God, going through thjs prayer today, you will not be a victim in the name of Jesus. Look, holding on to the truth of John 3:30 in that situation, Christ’s love will increase to shield you in the name of Jesus

Look, as you step out today to school, market or office, it will not be the last place of your life in the name of Jesus for your steps are guided by God and since he is the way, he will lead you. You will not miss your goal, target, and objectives in life in the name of Jesus. Like Peter in the place of your glorification, you will not be disgraced in the name of Jesus

Yes , child of God, no matter how hard pressed or perplexed, I speak to you with 2 Corinthians 4:8 & 9 you will not be crushed and despair will not be your portion in the name of Jesus. I decree you will not be destroyed in the name of Jesus. Like Samuel in 1 Samuel 17, you crush that Goliath for the Lord your God will give you victory as it is written in Isaiah 59:16; 63:5 in the name of Jesus

Today, I pray for you: you will not be a victim in the same places where you seek victory. You will not be a failure in the same places you see success in the name of Jesus. I cancel every victim mentality in your life in the name of Jesus.

I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

MISFORTUNES WILL NOT INVADE YOUR HOME

Good day, beloved, and welcome to March 22. Today is the 82nd Day in the year 2024.

Today, MISFORTUNES WILL NOT INVADE YOUR HOME

Psalm 91:10 No harm will overtake you. No disaster will come near your tent. Matthew 16:18 … the gates of hell will not overcome you

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the wonder of my being. As I step out on this day and time, may hell fire not break open against me in the name of Jesus

Dear child of God, as you step out this day, on a journey long distance or short distance, hell will not break open against you , you will be shielded and guided. Look, accident will not be your portion in the name of Jesus. I speak to you prophetically with Psalm 34:19,20,&21 that the situation you are in already, that challenge you are facing, will not bring an end to your life and good name, they  will not consume you for God your God will be your banner for from them all God will deliver you in the name of Jesus.

Oh, dear child of God, he will protect all your bones, not one of them will be broken in the name of Jesus. For Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned in the name of Jesus. But for you, no evil shall approach where you dwell. Your shadow and presence will always be shielded by divine presence in the name of Jesus. For the scripture says in Proverbs 18:10 the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and are secured.

I align myself with the God of David to tell you that the name that secured David from Goliath, in 1 Samuel 17:46, he will rescue for he is your Shepherd, you not be wanting security wise in the name of Jesus;  though you pass through the shadows of the valley of death, Psalm 23:1 says no threat will bring you down for divine staff of authority will accompany you and the prophecy of Isaiah 14:5 says the staff of the wicked has be broken and Psalm 125:3 says it shall not rest on you anymore in the name of Jesus

For Deuteronomy 20:4 says God will go before you and fight your battle in the name of Jesus. I speak to you with Psalm 77:14, God will display his miracles and power in your life today in the name of Jesus

So I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

BREAKING FREE FROM HABITUAL SIN/ADDICTION

BREAKING FREE FROM HABITUAL SIN/ADDICTION

First Reading: Jer 31:31–34
Psalmist: Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 14-1
Second Reading: Heb 5:7–9
Gospel Reading: John 12:20–30

I welcome you to the 5th Sunday of Lent year B. Today is the 77th Day in the year 2024. And on this day, we shall be reflecting on breaking free from habitual sin and addiction. In the Gospel of today Jesus told the disciples that a seed must fall off and die before it could bring forth the new and numerous seeds: Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Hence, the desire to bring forth multiple fruits and the desire to move from seed to fruits are the necessary ingredients for dying. And you see the transformation: from grain-falls into the earth and die-fruit.

When a grain “falls to the ground,” obviously, it falls from its stalk, which means it has been separated from its stalk. And by this total separation, the stalk stops supplying nourishment to it; and as such, it begins to slowly decay, and as it decays, it begins to germinate by breaking out. Again, we must know that every seed has an innate embryo, which has the capacity and the ability to swell up and break out of the tough outer seed coat. Seeds are often extremely dry and need to take in significant amounts of water, relative to the dry weight of the seed, before cellular metabolism and growth can resume.  The uptake of water by seeds leads to the swelling and the breaking of the seed coat. We notice again that as the seed germinate,  it seeks survival by first thrusting its root downward.

Dear friends! We reflect our journey of life and its entrapment in habitual sins and addiction. We must break off from the stalk of sins. We must stop being nourished and nurtured in evil. We must die to sin as St. Peter says: He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness (1 Peter 2:24). Dying to sin in Jesus’ word means denying oneself (Mark8:34), in the words of Paul, it is being baptised into the death of Christ (Romans 6:3), our hearts and minds are set on things above, where Christ is seated in glory (Col. 3:1–2). Hence, it is a call to die so as to live. All of us have the innate embryo capable of bringing out holy acts. He is the Holy Spirit that we receive at baptism and confirmation. He is the fountain of life that we need for divine moistening. 

Like the seed, it is a fight for survival, which St. Paul calls a fight of faith(1 Timothy 6:12). We can not do anything meaningful if we continue to fan into flame the desires of the flesh, feeding our eyes with its delight and satisfying the pride of our life. If we must break out of any habitual sin, we must stop looking at life with the lenses of Eve; she was guided by the above: she saw that the tree was good for food, delightful to the eyes and desirable to make one wise (Genesis3:6) and according to St. John, all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (1 John 2:16) and so Jesus in his Lenten call to his disciples in Matthew 3:8 tells them to bear fruit in keeping with repentance.

Dear child of God, breaking free from the entrapment of habitual sin and addiction begin with a prayerful, rigorous, honest examination of what satanic promises we have believed; identification of the false happiness and joy we have believed are derivative of such.

Be honest with yourself. What’s the thing you need to die to?

God bless you

YOUR JOY WILL NOT BE STOLEN from you

Good day beloved and welcome to the 13th of March. Today is the 73rd Day in the year 2024

YOUR JOY WILL NOT BE STOLEN

John 16:22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Philemon 1:7, “Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people

Heavenly Father I thank you for the wonder of my being. Today I pray o Lord give me joy and keep my safe in the name ofJesus. I stand on Galatians 5:22–23 my Father my Father, give me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law which are the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus

Dear child of God, your joy will not be cut short in the name of Jesus. I stand on Habakkuk 3:17-18 to decree and declare that no matter the turn of things, no matter the difficulties and pain of the time, you still rejoice, the Joy of the Lord is your strength in the name of Jesus.

Look dear Child of God, I don’t know what you are expecting from the Lord but I speak to you with John 16:24 that you have asked and I decree that your joy will be full in receiving it in the name of Jesus. You are afraid of loosing something very important, I decree your source of joy will not be destroyed in the name of Jesus

Your joy will not be stolen in the name of Jesus. The joy of your studies, business and work; the joy of your marriage and vocation will not vanish into thin air , it will not disappear like smoke in the name of Jesus

So I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
