MOBILIZE YOUR ANGELS!

Psalm 103:20 KJV
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

It’s still our Month of FAVOR TO OVERTURN LIMITATIONS!

“And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.

This week, may the Right Hand of our God, His Arm and the Light of His Countenance operating as Favour, marvelously help you to achieve far above your Abilities and Resources, in Jesus Name.

While 2018 is our Year of DIVINE SPEED,

JANUARY is Our MONTH of GIRDING our LOINS!!!

Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah [giving him supernatural strength]. He girded up his loins and outran Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles].
1 Kings 18:46 AMP

A major deception in the Body of Christ is that too often, we imagine that when God gives us a Word or Promise or Prophecy, He will automatically bypass both our will and even faith or lack of faith to enforce the Word or the Promise. Well, whereas the Lord in His Sovereignty does graciously perform His Word without our contribution, in a number of situations, He actually accepts our feeble attempts as a gesture of faith. In Genesis 26, for example, all that God did was stop Isaac from running abroad in famine with the promise to bless Abraham’s prince in Gerar. Apparently, Isaac had learned from Daddy Abraham that God multiplies SEED and blesses the WORK of our hands. So, what did he do?

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. Gen 26:12-14 KJV.

Isaac could have said, “Well, Lord, You are the Almighty and there is nothing impossible with You. Besides, You see that humanly speaking, this situation is hopeless. But I believe, Lord. Just go ahead and bless me any which way You want.”

I suppose Isaac most probably would have starved to death and God wouldn’t have ceased to be God.

When God gives a Word or Promise or Prophecy, the least we can do is prepare for it!!!

In 1 Kings 18:46. Although, … the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah [giving him supernatural strength]. (1) He girded up his loins and (2) outran Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles].

1 Kings 18:46 AMP

1. He prepared by tidying up anything that could retard his ability to make progress. He girded up his loins Beloved all of this January, gird up your loins: Forgive every offense. Discard every bitterness. Restore every Godly relationship that you had lost. Cut off all ungodly alliances. Discard every sinful or negative or anti-social attitude that easily offends people whom God could have used to make you happen. Watch out for impatience & pride, then uproot both before they rob you of Divine Speed! If TV or Social Media or Sleep or Food are loose garments around your destiny, viciously cut them to size!
2. Engage some kind of motion. Don’t sit and fold your hands. The Hand or Anointing or Grace or Power of God is upon you. But like Elijah, except you begin to Run it won’t do you any good. Has this message met you still waiting for God? Please get going with that project and you will see that the hand of the Lord is upon you this 2018 for Divine Speed.

Favored Week in Jesus Name!!!

🎼  🎼  🎼  🎼
When upon life billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged thinking, all is lost.

Count your many blessings every doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.

*Chorus:*
Count your blessings, name them one by one.

Count your blessings, see what God has done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one.

Count your many blessings see what God has done

🎼  🎼  🎼  🎼

The Lyricist Johnson Oatman wrote this very powerful song. From now until January 2018, this is my prescription for you, my cherished family, partners &friends.

Please don’t mock those who died in the course of this 2017, with the mention of what you haven’t achieved or gotten!

Don’t mock those who have millions in bank accounts but can’t spend it because they are bedridden, with the mention of your lack of funds!

Don’t mock those who suffer from insanity, with your concern for a lack of spouse!

Don’t mock those who are still childless after many years of marriage, with fretting over your difficult child(ren)!

Don’t mock those who have never had a decent job, with grumbling over your lack of promotion or bonus or even unpaid entitlements!

Don’t mock those who are homeless or have lost their accommodation to floods or fires or hurricanes or war, over your inability to build/buy your personal house this year!

Don’t mock those who lost their legs or feet, sniveling about not having shoes for Christmas/New Year!

Don’t mock those who are too ill to swallow any food, with your sulking about your lack of food for Christmas/Year!

Don’t mock those whose operations liquidated or folded up, with complaints about your lack of profits!

There are people who would do anything just to have a fraction of all the Blessings God has extended to you in the course of 2017.

“Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. [4] Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. [5] My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: [6] When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. [7] Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.”

Psalm 63:3-7.

My Father & Mentor, Rev Dr. David Olu-David says that “When you are Thankful, your Tank becomes Full”

As we approach the middle of December 2017, please don’t lose focus!

December is still our Month of Recalling the Lord’s Great Faithfulness!

Family may innocently remind you of certain pending financial obligations. The Bills may still look longer than your paycheck or worse still, there may be no paychecks at all. That relationship may seem to be going from bad to worse. The health condition may not seem to have gotten any better. Your establishment may appear to be closing the books for the year without giving you that deserved raise or at least a bonus. Your invoices may not have been payed yet. That spouse still hasn’t returned home. Again, you didn’t make it at the professional qualifying exam this year. It may begin to look like another year without a clear achievement

All the foregoing is good fuel for those who seek occasion to grumble, be fretful or panic. Please don’t be one of those.

In Psalm 63:3, the Psalmist counted God’s Loving-kindness as better than whatever may be achieved in Life and concluded that he would Praise the Lord. I think we should all emulate him.

In Psalm 63:4, d Psalmist reveals that being alive was sufficient motivation to praise the Lord. I think it should be sufficient for us also.

Furthermore, the Psalmist says in Psalm 63:5-6 that when he remembers or meditates upon or recalls God’s gracious dealings, his Soul is satisfied & his mouth Praises the Lord joyfully. I strongly recommend the same attitude for all of us.

Finally, in Psalm 63:7, he recognizes God as his Help & Wings of Safety and consequently commits to rejoicing in the Lord.

This week, do what the Psalmist did: meditate daily upon all God’s faithfulness & maintain your joyful Thanksgiving! Don’t let any situation bulldoze you into any panic-prayers or ingratitude or grumbling.

This December will still yield her Crown of Goodness to the Grateful!

Thanksgiving is it!

Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.  Isaiah 12:3 KJV

Now, as we were saying last week, our Heavenly Father & Good Shepherd is mindful of all the Prayers/Requests you sent to Heaven since January. You will sincerely agree with me that a good deal of your petitions have been granted. I also agree with you that time may seem to be conspiring against quite a handful of your remaining expectations. Or it may even be that in your case, it is the most strategic issue that hasn’t been resolved. Now here we are…4th Dec. It may look like God has even removed your issue from His Keep – in – View file! There is the temptation to heighten your prayer tempo or all together give up. There is the danger of losing your joy. No, my dear.
Your last joker is your JOY!!! In face of near-defeat or intimidating challenges or obstacles or disappointment, the spiritual irony is that you must sustain your joy!

How can you sustain joy when you feel frustrated or defeated or even let down?

1. Make a list of all the victories/blessings you have enjoyed in the past. Include the blessings that came when you didn’t even pray for them. Please remember to start that list with the fact that you are alive!
2. Ask yourself whether or not God has been faithful & gracious to you. Your positive answer will activate your JOY! Yes, go ahead: I see you smiling & nodding your head in consent. Go ahead & smile.
3. Ask yourself whether or not God is still faithful, gracious & able to do what is remaining.
4. Give God quality Thanksgiving for what He has already done. Thank God genuinely because you consider Him faithful & able to come through for you in the area(s) that remain. Thank God that you are sane enough to recognize your remaining needs! I mean a mentally unbalanced person doesn’t even care about comforts or cars or houses or marriage or business or promotion, etc. As you focus on Thanksgiving for what you already are & what you already have, your JOY will be sustained.

In any case, God expects us to give thanks in all situations.

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1Thessalonians 5:18 KJV

Now take notice that the Scripture doesn’t say for all things give thanks… It does says in all things give thanks… You are not called to give thanks for any negative situation. You are only required to give thanks even while you are going through the negative situation because your Thanksgiving in the midst of the negative situation draws God into your situation. Now when Jehovah, your God & Father arrives in His glorious majesty & power, every prison walls are shaken to their foundation. Am sure you remember Apostle Paul & Silas. They didn’t obtain deliverance by grumbling & fretting or even praying frantically. They used their joker. They counted God faithful & able. In JOY, they broke out in unreasonable Praise & Thanksgiving! Suddenly, the One who inhabits the Praise of His people arrived & every obstacle gave way!!
Now how could Paul & Silas praise while in incarceration?

They maintained their JOY notwithstanding their unpleasant experience!!!

So how about you?

With JOY, sustained by Quality Thanksgiving, you will also draw the Water of Divine Intervention, Blessing, Provision, & Protection.

Isaiah counsels in our opening Scripture that the weapon for drawing that final Miracle or Blessing from the Well of Salvation or Well of Blessing or Well of Answered Prayers is Joyful Thanksgiving.

It is still December, our Month of Recalling the Lord’s Great Faithfulness!!!

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV

The ETERNAL GOD that is constantly constant (He doesn’t change in Power, Ability, Mercy, Faithfulness, Love or Truth) is our REFUGE. He is our Place of Safety or Divine Haven or impregnable Shelter from physical, spiritual, emotional, financial, social, seen & unseen foes. His EVERLASTING ARMS that can never become weary or tired are underneath us. He is carrying us through & over every obstacle. He is going ahead of us in every situation to weaken, immobilize & defeat every adversary and authorize us to simply destroy them. So, we are NOT fighting to win in our faith, health, homes, careers, relationships, etc. We ARE only enforcing our ALREADY WON victory in Christ. But it is our duty to destroy what our Lord has already disarmed or made impotent.

How?

1. Memorize & Meditate upon Deuteronomy 33:27.
2. Thank the Lord for all the Victory He has already secured for you in every area of your life EVEN WHEN IT DOESN’T APPEAR AS IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY VICTORY!
3. Boldly claim this Victory in your health, faith, family, finances, career, etc.
4. Satan is NOT going to play dead just because you know this Scripture. Therefore, you have to constantly command him to stop all attacks upon you, your loved ones & your affairs in the Name of Jesus Christ! Ultimately, Lucifer will let go once he sees you sincerely believe that Jesus the Eternal God has already defeated him on your behalf and you are not about to settle for any less.
5. The ONLY real battle we are fighting is the ability to stand firmly upon the WORD until Satan gives up!

This Week, may you find favor with individuals, families, institutions, organizations, corporate bodies, Churches/Ministries, Gov’ts, Nations & their agents, in Jesus Name.

November is still our Month of Grace for Divine Establishment!!!

WEEK OF DIVINE HELP!

For the Lord God will help me; therefore, shall I not be confounded: therefore, have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Isaiah 50:7

OCTOBER has been our “Month of Grace 4 Full Manifestation” and as we enter the last week of the Month, there probably may be certain issues that have not “manifested fully“.
Maybe some bills are threatening to embarrass you. Maybe there are health issues. Maybe some relationships haven’t turned out exactly as expected. Perhaps answers to some prayers have been long in coming.

Well, I want to assure you that our God is NEVER late. He will still come through for you. Therefore, whatever the situation is, hold on to Isaiah 50:7 and keep declaring every day & in every situation; “I Thank You Lord God Because You Will Help Me Therefore I Shall Not Be Ashamed, Therefore I Have Set My Hope Upon You Firmly.”

Please don’t just believe this in your heart. Just when the devil taunts you that the situation is hopeless, open your mouth and affirm your confidence in & gratitude to the Lord. Keep mouthing it boldly and He will certainly make all things beautiful, in Jesus Name.
Have a favored week!

YOU SHALL NOT BE STRANDED!

“Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.”  Isaiah 66:9 KJV.

It may be a fact that whether in your health, home, finances, career or ministry, hope may seem very far away. But be assured, my precious friend or family, the TRUTH is that God does not Start anything without Finishing it.

YOU ARE A PROJECT OF GRACE IN PROGRESS!

God can’t bring you this far and abandon you. Since He brought you OUT, He will surely bring you IN. He can’t raise your hopes and then dash them again. He will come through. It may not be when or how or where You thought but God is both faithful and gracious and He will show up. His good hand upon You will cause your every request to be granted in full. He won’t leave you half way. No, YOU SHALL NOT BE STRANDED! It is still our Month of Grace For Breaking New Grounds. Our Heavenly Father will take you all the way, in Jesus Name. Amen

(KJV) “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way PERFECT.”
(MSG) “Is not this the God who armed me, then aimed me in the right direction?”
(NIV) “It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” Psalm 18:32.

It is d last Week of d Month of Favor for PERFECTION. Within the next 7 days, God will arm you with Favor & Wisdom and ultimately PERFECT all His gracious dealings in every aspect of your life, in Jesus Name.
