  • Mark 5:34 (NLT)

    And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

    The biblical definition of faith is very clear: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” On several occasions, Jesus boldly declared to the sick who were just healed, “Your faith has healed you!” This kind of faith is very rare in our churches today; it is the God-kind of faith, the faith God used in creating the world!

    Many people think that they have no role to play in their healing; not so. Whatever you need requires a level of faith. Whether healing or prosperity, no one can do it for you in isolation of their faith. The power of God is present to heal, and the grace to prosper is there, but the participatory engagement of the person needing the miracle must be activated for the miracle to manifest. Most people blame apostles, prophets, pastors, and evangelists for not getting their miracle, yet they failed to exercise their faith. Let your faith be released now, for your prosperity is being distributed, and money is coming to you in Jesus’ Name.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    My faith is boosted! I take hold of every blessing that's mine. My miracle shall manifest in my life! I am living above the ordinary as I exercise the God-kind of faith now. Amen.

    Luke 7:50

  • John 1:23 (NKJV)

    He said: “I am ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Make straight the way of the Lord,”’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

    I've observed many people, Christians included, who try to do everything and be everything. John was sent as a forerunner of Jesus to announce Him to the world, but he did not know exactly who Jesus was. John focused on his calling initially as he continued to baptize people who flocked to him in the desert. His mission was fulfilled when Jesus finally appeared on the scene and was baptized by him with validation by God’s voice confirming Jesus’ sonship!

    As John remained in his calling, there was no problem, but the moment he left his calling and took on the role of marriage counsellor with Herod’s love affairs, his life took a nose dive. He was apprehended, thrown into prison and eventually lost his head.

    We are Christians, yet each one is called to perform certain tasks for the equipping of the saints. You cannot be everything at once, so carefully identify your calling and work within that setting for maximum output so that you become a blessing to the Body of Christ.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I walk my lane gallantly as a soldier on assignment. I will not sway or detour, but I press forward to the prize of the high calling now and always! Amen.

  • Hebrews 6:12 (NKJV)

    that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

    When you go to fast-food restaurants like McDonalds or KFC, there are categories of service and corresponding time allotments. A customer who only needs two pieces of chicken or a hamburger will get served very fast and in no time. But when you arrive at the counter with a large order of twenty buckets of twenty pieces each, you will be told to step aside as your order is being prepared. Why? Because your order is a “special order” that needs more time and meticulous attention.

    If you see that in the natural people take time and more resources to prepare special orders, as in KFC or McDonalds, how much more in spiritual things! If you want a brilliant wife who's dedicated to the things of God, highly intelligent, beautiful, loving, God-fearing, respectful, good at saving money and tolerant, be patient. You need the God-kind of faith and be prepared to wait. God is working on your special order to ensure you prosper beyond the normal in this year of Milk and Honey!

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    My enemies will have no option but to admit that the favour of God is upon me. I shall have the last laugh; I'm coming out of every challenge in grand style to the glory of God, in the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

  • 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.

    Focus is the key element to success. When you know why you are breathing this very minute, your attention shifts towards those things that matter most. Jesus told Pilate, “For the reason of bearing the truth, I was born.” He knew why He came to this world, and He remained focused on that cause for around three years. As a result, His influence is still talked about today.

    Choose that which matters in life. Focus on things which are profitable to the Kingdom. There is no more room for vain talk, adversity and grudges. It’s time for you to run with the Good news of our Lord Jesus Christ before the first flight takes off (i.e., the rapture or catching away of the saints). Use your time wisely: focus! Your family, ministry and business are all waiting for you. It’s time to focus on those things which are profitable to you and the Kingdom.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I was born to declare the Good News of Jesus Christ. Many shall see the light through me. My focus is on Christ till the rapture, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

    James 1:8

  • 1 Corinthians 3:19 (KJV)

    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

    Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgment. The world has its own standards to determine one’s level of wisdom. Sometimes it is measured in monetary terms, educational qualifications or influence in different spheres of life. Our scripture for today reveals that there is higher wisdom which is beyond the realm of humanity. As much as we see all the inventions on this planet, there is still wisdom considered that is far superior.

    Apostle Paul says the wisdom of this world is actually foolishness. You don’t need to trust or depend on the systems of this world because they always have shortcomings. Only God is an embodiment of supreme wisdom. Through His wisdom, He set the foundations of the Earth and commanded everything to be in position. As you meditate on this Word and pray, the same wisdom is penetrating your spirit. You shall function with higher wisdom which cannot fail, in the Name of Jesus.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I possess wisdom from on high. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. The fruits of my labour are blessed in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  • Psalms 119:130 (KJV)

    The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

    The word Illuminati is associated with a secret society of people who claim to know more than the average human being. Who are the real Illuminati? Their name is derived from illumination, which means light-bringers. The Bible says the entrance of God’s Word brings light, and God Himself told us to let our light so shine. That means we are the real light-bringers. We are the light in this world!

    The world is nothing without us, the real light. We are the real Illuminati, the bringers of light to this world. When the world has no hope, we bring hope and faith through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Today, through the Word of God, your light is increasing, and all the answers of your family shall be found in you. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Go out and show forth God ‘s glory. You are God’s true expression, in the Name of Jesus!

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I’m the real light-bringer. I possess power from on high, and everything around me has light. My paths are shining in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

  • 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.

    When you hit a wall, you will be injured and even have multiple fractures due to the impact. But if you get into a bulldozer, you will crush all the walls flat and pass through. If you are inside a bulldozer, you know there is no barrier strong enough to stop your efforts. The Bible tells us that we live, move and have our being in Jesus. This tells us that Jesus is not just a person but a location. Jesus is our location, and we move inside His environment.

    You are inside Someone greater than any bulldozer. Nothing can stop you. Your business cannot be denied by anyone because you are inside the greatest Force. Everything about you will surely have a smooth passage because you are moving in the superior environment, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him, you are invincible and untouchable.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    Christ is my location. In Jesus Christ I live, move, and have my being. I am irresistible because I am inside the highest authority. Amen.

    2 Corinthians 5:17

  • Romans 5:5 (KJV)

    And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    The call to love is not a commandment to us who are new covenant Christians. We don’t function by rules and commandments. Love is our nature. As for you and me, our word is found in the scripture above, “the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts.” We don’t love by commandment but by nature. Our hearts are marinated in love. We are soaked into Jesus’ love; consequently, we don’t need to be commanded to love. It just comes out as naturally as breathing.

    Choose to love and be a minister of reconciliation to your family and friends. There is no room to hold grudges or enmity. Jesus Christ is coming back, and there is no time for games and adversity. Love in all things and at all times; that is the nature of one whose heart is marinated in love by our Lord Jesus Christ.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I love, not by commandment but by nature. Today and every day, I choose to love and make peace with everyone around me. I offload grudges and enmity in the Name of Jesus.

  • Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

    Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

    When you utter words, remember those are not just mere words coming out of your mouth and dissipating into thin air. The words you utter have power to shape your life for the best or worst. That’s why you need to put a premium on the words you speak. Put a standard on the words that proceed out of your mouth. This has nothing to do with your emotional position. It’s all about charting the course of your life with your words. All the milk and honey you want lies in the power of your tongue.

    Today, chose to speak life, peace, and prosperity. Don’t allow your emotions or current status to shift your language. When things are good or not so good, speak positivity no matter what. Your destiny is waiting for you to speak that which is productive. Your tongue is a weapon to chart the course of your future. Decree and declare light in your day, and you shall surely see the manifestation of that word.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I decree and declare prosperity in every area of my life. I shall live a life of milk and honey in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

  • 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.

    God knows you more than you know yourself. He is more aware of your well-being than you are. The Bible says Gideon was hiding from the Philistines, who were coming each and every time to plunder and take the harvest from the Israelites. Gideon’s hiding was a clear sign of fear and timidity, but God did not address him according to how Gideon felt or saw himself. Instead, God called him what He knew Gideon to be: a “mighty man of valour.”

    Gideon must have wondered, How can God call me mighty, yet I’m hiding from the adversaries? The answer is that when God looks at you, He sees beyond what you see. You might see yourself as a rising star or someone just trying to make ends meet, but God sees you as a solution to your country’s problems. You are a giant, according to God. So, don’t allow your environment, background, or educational status to define you. You were born to conquer in the Name of Jesus!

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I am a mighty man/woman of valour. I possess power from above and the world is yet to see something greater and mightier coming out of me in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

  • 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.

    Apostle Paul gives us a secret to success in this verse. He said, “I went up by revelation.” Revelation is an opening of eyes, or more accurately, a removal of scales. Success is a product of the revelation that you possess. Paul entails a clear strategy to be elevated: he went “up” by revelation, letting us know that it is your understanding of the Word that determines your altitude in life.

    Your money, health, and business are all attached to the revelation that you have received. Getting revelation is the strategy for elevation. Go for the Word, and you will come back with a testimony! As you delve deeper into the Word of God, even starting today, the light of revelation is coming to you, and elevation is eminent. Make the Word your standard for promotion. Commit yourself to the Word, which the Bible calls a more sure word of prophecy, and your life will never be the same again.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    The Word of God is my standard for elevation. I am marked for greatness and success in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

    Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

    When it comes to products, expiration dates mark the date when something is no longer edible or usable. It is the end of something’s validity. Time or environment can cause something to expire. For you as a person, there are forces that want you to expire. This is why we have men of God, ministries, businesses or empires which were once very powerful, but now it’s all history. They were forced to expire by the forces that govern this world.

    The Bible says you are the light of this world. Your duty is to continue illuminating until Jesus Christ comes back. Let your light so shine and never dim. Refuse to expire! As you commune with God through this Word and prayer, everything about you is being revitalized. Everything about you shall stand the test of time, and you shall never expire in the Name of Jesus.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I am born from above. The energy of God is inside my spirit, soul and body. I shall continue to re-fire and never expire in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

    1 Timothy 4:14

  • 2 Corinthians 4:9 (KJV)

    Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

    Paul mentioned all manner or forms of persecution that 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 what we are made of. We are born of the Spirit, and we feed on the Word of God. The Word is our genetic makeup. When a mango fruit is pressed, what comes out is mango juice. The same applies to any other fruit.

    When pressed by the challenges of this life, what must come out of you 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.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I am made up of the Word of God because I always feed on the Word of God. I shall not be shaken or moved because I have the Word in me. Amen.

  • Matthew 25:23 (KJV)

    His lord said unto him, well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, l will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

    When we get to Heaven, God will not ask you about the miracles He did for you. Neither will He ask you about how much you benefited from His grace and mercy. No, He’ll ask you about what you did with the grace and Christianity He gave you. He is more concerned about how profitable you are to this world while still on Earth. The end game is what you will present before the Master when you get to Heaven. Will He say, “Well done, good and faithful servant?” or will He see someone who was crying with prayer requests every day?

    Use this time profitably to bring light to your family, colleagues and everyone around you. Save a soul by sharing the Word or encouraging someone to be in church. You are here for a reason, so remember to pay attention to the end. You need to leave this world with something to present before the Master so that you can be proclaimed a good and faithful servant.

    My little children, of whom l travail in birth again until Christ be fully formed in you.

    In worldly educational institutions, if you fail a module or class, you are not allowed to graduate or go to the next level. It is a system that governs educational standards in order to produce the best students. In the university of God, you also can’t skip classes. You have to pass all the modules until you reach a certain level. If it means you have to repeat, you have to do it until you graduate. When you see God‘s generals that you admire, remember they did not just appear on top, but they went through all manner of classes until they reached that level.

    Paul talks of Christ being fully formed in you. This shows that there are some Christians who might have only an ear of Jesus without His full body. Grow through the Word, step by step, until Christ is fully formed in you. As you grow, you shall see all the desired results coming to pass. Take time to grow one step and one level at a time until you become a spiritual giant.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION

    I choose to grow step by step through the Word of God. My spirit is willing and compelled to grasp the Word of God. I am growing from glory to glory in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

    For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

    The Lord said something very profound to Abraham, “as much as you can see, you can have.” There is a visual element in faith. If you can see it, you can have it. Abraham was supposed to be given as much as he could imagine. Naturally speaking, it was difficult for Abraham to see probably beyond two hundred kilometres. Hence, God was calling him to the realm of imagination. Abraham later on possessed almost every piece on the face of the earth, which means when he was told to see, he was not using his physical eyes only, but that which is spiritual.

    Don’t be limited by your circumstances or any physical flaws within your radius. See beyond the natural, and know that as much as you can see, you can surely possess. The enemy might try to put blinders around you so that you don’t see beyond the recession, sickness, or poverty, but this Word is opening your eyes to see beyond!

  • Mark 6:5 (KJV)

    And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

    Tradition is the transmission of beliefs and customs from one generation to another. It’s frozen success. People are wired by traditions, either good or bad, and whatever they become is a result of this. The Bible tells us 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 tried and failed. Although He was God in the flesh, there are things He failed to do 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 forms of negative traditions. Believe everything that God says without any shadow of doubt. If He says money is coming, for sure it is coming. When the world declares that you shall live up to a certain age, create a new pattern of godly tradition in your generation, and let the world know you are living longer to declare the goodness of the Lord.

    Mark 7:13

  • 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.

    Many Christians are still stuck in the old understanding of Christ dying for us, believing that they caused Him to be bruised and crucified on the cross. It’s pathetic how the Body of Christ buys into this old, generic understanding. In fact, it is unscriptural for us to believe we are the cause of the death of Jesus Christ. We are not the cause of Christ’s death but the result of His resurrection. We did not cause Jesus to be persecuted and crucified; we emerged as a result of all that.

    Our scripture says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. The word ‘new’ is the Greek kainós, which means something that never existed before. You can no longer be counted among those who caused Christ to die because you are a brand-new species of being! Walk in the consciousness that you are a new creature with no connection to your past sins or flaws. You are a new and finished product!

    A census is regarded as the official count or survey of a population. Most countries do their census periodically to capture different kinds of data. It helps countries to come up with general knowledge about population structure, demographics, income, etc. There is also a heavenly census of which many are ignorant, and our scripture today reveals something about it.

    “Men ought to pray.”

    In simpler terms, according to this scripture, you ought to be a praying person to be considered a man to God. Only man can pray. Those who do not offer prayers to God are not considered part of His population. It is through your prayers that you are recorded in the register of man in the spiritual realm. God desires communion with you through prayer. If you are not praying, you are an entity that is merely moving to and fro in the face of the Earth. Make prayer your lifestyle, and you will count with God.

    For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

    Our scripture above gives a basic definition of unrighteousness, which many might not want to hear. Still, you are only helped when your ignorance is confronted. The Bible says God is not “unrighteous” to forget, which means if He were to forget, He would become “unrighteous.” According to this scripture, everyone who forgets something good done to him or her is “unrighteous.” There are no two ways about it.

    There is a brother or sister who helped you before, a ministry where you were nourished and assisted, or even a subordinate who might have helped you. Take time today to appreciate them. Call, text, or find some way to express your appreciation. Even a kind word is enough to appreciate someone. Choose to be righteous by not forgetting other people’s good works that they did in your own life.
