Revival – dry bones shall rise again!

This is the valley of dead, dry bones (Ez 37). The Spirit carries the prophet, pregnant with God’s Word ‘shut in his bones’. It is like Ezekiel comes there on the back of an eagle, or in a mighty helicopter. The movement is ‘back and forth’ over the valley. It is like God is waiting for Ezekiel to see and understand the meaning of this vision. The word in Hebrew is the same as the one used for the Israelites who ‘crossed over’ the River Jordan, from the wilderness unto the Promised Land. The word ‘cross over’ it means ‘to enter and escape from a tight place’, just like a baby who comes out from the womb. It is a word that speaks of action, of the power of leadership.

God shall trust the people with visions of revival and they shall call others to see. He that sees first and moves with the vision… that is the leader of men. The vision may tarry, but the God that gives it is faithful and the leaders of revival shall not be disappointed. According to God’s Word, the vision shall eventually confirm itself, ‘it shall speak at last!’

Revival means transition from a life to death, from weakness unto the manifestation of the power of resurrection. Many believers in Christ do not come to appreciate this deep revelation of power. They know the scriptures but they do not identify with them. For them, the Cross of Christ is only a historical event and not a current manifestation of power. For as long as you remain satisfied with partial success, with superficial understanding of the scriptures, for as long as you accept a form of godliness without the real power to change hearts and nations, you will not be able to sustain the passion for revival.

The bones are very dry. It means that they are located in the desert. There is no moisture around to soften them. The word in Hebrew it means that they are disappointed, ashamed, confused, like men who lived and died trusting God but failed to see any manifestations of His promises. This is not just a cemetery but a cemetery of sad and broken dreams people of old. This is another great revelation of revival. The difficulty of the environment, the lack of true religion, should not discourage us to pray for true revival. It is the opposite, in fact. The less hope we see around, the more we shall qualify to pray and dream again, that with God all things are possible!

The passion for revival has made me ‘crazy’ for Jesus. We concluded that it is better to be ‘a crazy billionaire’ than ‘a normal beggar’ on the streets…I am sure you know what I mean…

Even so come Lord Jesus!

SUPERNATURAL FINANCIAL BLESSINGS STARTING TODAY!!!
IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
“Give careful thought:Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit…
“But from this day on I will bless you!” (Hagaai 2:18, 19)

PRESS ON!

 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory… the arrow of victory over Aram!” (2Kg 13:17)

The king of Israel went to visit Elisha, the mighty prophet, now a sick, weak and man. But there is still ministry for him to do. Israel was opreesed by Syria. This was God’s will so to humble them. They have been proud and stubborn. They refused to repent from idolatry, still worship the golden calf and the Asherah poles. The king weeps when he sees the dying prophet. This is an emotional reaction of the flesh, for his weeping did not change his heart of unbelief. He waited for some word of encouragement.

Then Elisha tells him to open the window, to take his bow and arrow and to shoot towards east, the direction of Syria, the enemy. With his old hands laid on the king’s hands, the prophet declared: ‘The Lord’s arrow of victory’ over the enemy. The king shoots three times and then stopped. The prophet is very angry and tells him that he will only have three successes against the enemy; that his partial obedience means partial victory. He says that if he had obeyed completely, his victory over the enemy could have been completely.

Lessons: A servant of God never retires from doing ministry! Even in sickness or old age, the glory must be given to God! It is God’s power combined with my complete obedience to His commands that will bring total defeat to my enemy!. Simple actions reveal the truth about the human character… I have to diligently obey God and His true prophets and then I shall prosper! God is not angry when we ask for great things. He is angry when we ask too little, when we stop short of His glory!

“In Christ I declare:

The evil spirits of idolatry, Jezebel, doubt, religion…are defeated and rejected from my life and from this land! I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me! I shall persevere until the end, until the manifestation of my deliverance is clearly seen by all!

I shall not be satisfied with partial results! I shall press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me! I forget what is behind and I strain towards what is ahead! I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward! I do not run aimlessly but I run to win the prize of victory! My victory shall encourage many behind!

I shall not settle down or rest from warfare until the Captain of the Host has sounded His trumpet of victory! If I do not hear a new Word from my Commander, I shall continue non- stop to obey the last command He gave to me! I am a soldier in God’s army! The Battle, the Victory and Glory are His! As a soldier, I shall not entangle myself in civilian affairs! I reject doubt and little faith, for those are hindrance to ministry and an insult to God! I reject any tiredness, boredom, restlessness, doubt, laziness or any desire to sleep when there is time to watch and pray!

death-of-elishaI shall continue to pray until I see results! I shall continue to repent of sin until the fruits of repentance are evident to all! I shall continue to ask until I receive the revelation of God’s will and the vision of my destiny! I shall continue to seek until I find the way to please God and I see His smile and favor upon me! I shall continue to knock until the door of victory is opened! I shall defeat the enemy of my soul and of the nations! I shall not rest until the victory is complete and all the Glory given to God!

I will not let You go until You bless me!

In Jesus name, amen!”

Hundredfold harvest in famine

‘There was a famine in the land…then the Lord appeared to Isaac and said: ‘Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land and I shall be with you and bless you…and I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed…’ So Isaac dwelt in Gerar… Then Isaac sown in THAT LAND and reaped in THE SAME YEAR A HUNDREFOLD and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous…’ (Gen 26)

There was famine. The temptation to go ‘abroad’ was strong. Isaac mediated and prayed on what to do next. Then God spoke, telling him to stay there, in the deep valley of Gerar, during a national disaster. Jehovah shall be his only hope. Isaac obeyed God and learned many lessons he could have learned otherwise:

*God never abandons His children, in famine or not, in poverty or not, in sickness of not, in loneliness or not! God’s Word is enough for my life. I shall not live by bread alone (buttered or not) but by every Word that God has spoken to me. I shall trust God for the performance of His Word. It is His responsibility to perform, mine it is to trust Him totally! God’s command to me is for His glory and also my sake; it is for my good. I shall never doubt God goodness to me! Obedience is rewarded with blessings, increase, fruitfulness and prosperity. Obedience has become my life style. Day by day, it is more difficult for me to doubt and disobey God, for He has proven Himself to me Faithful and True always!

*The blessings of prosperity, spiritual and natural, are connected with particular places. God choses the exact place of blessing for me to stay. God chose my husband, my children, my grandchildren, my in laws, my school or my business to do. God choses my city, my street, my neighbors, my church to attend, my ministry to be involved in… Nothing is ever ‘by mistake’! My tithes and offerings should go to the church that feeds me spiritually. I shall submit to the delegated authority I find there trusting that God will use them to pray and bless me! The environment does not dictate my success. God does! The lack of good things around me shall not intimidate or shake me from trusting God! I shall obey God! Sacrificially and faithfully I shall invest my life and substance in the very place of ministry God has chosen for me! Only good can follow! Sooner or later my promised harvest shall manifest!

*I shall never be discouraged to serve God! My harvest is surely greater than my investment, for God is with me!

*It is easy to live in a place where all are rich. But it takes a miracle to be rich in the desert, in the valley. God shall use me as a sample for His glory, to prove to all men that He is the Almighty God, Jehovah Jireh! The testimony of my prosperity shall lead many people to Christ! My blessings and prosperity shall encourage others to trust in God!

My blessings and prosperity shall confuse my enemies for they will search and never find the human source of it. They may fight me but they can never prevail against me. God is with me and He shall deliver me from all attacks of the enemy! Even if they are jealous, angry or bitter… even if they drive me away… they shall come back at last, with tears of repentance, and like Abimelech they will say: ‘We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you…’ “

In Christ I DECLARE: I am blessed beyond anything I can imagine! I have located the place God wants me to stay for this season in my life! It is Father’s House Bible Church, Warri, Nigeria! I shall dwell here! I shall invest my life and substance here! I shall preach and teach God’s Word to any soul that is willing to listen! By the Holy Spirit, the overflow from Warri shall touch the nations! Revival shall come!

I shall not worry, fret or shake. I shall not be afraid of opposition. I shall stand and not fall. I shall succeed and not fail! I shall not fear men for I owe them nothing except to love them as Christ loves me! I shall not fear devils, for I owe them nothing. Christ has paid with His Blood for my salvation and complete deliverance!

I shall forever worship the King who saved me and blessed me! I shall trust God’s Word that in days of disaster I shall not wither (become dry, ashamed or disappointed in my faith) and in the days of famine and trouble, when all the people complain and weep, I shall be satisfied, I shall have more than I need and be a blessing to many (Ps 37:19)!

As I trust God in the place He has chosen and prepared for me, my miraculous, ‘against all odds’ hundredfold harvest shall come quickly. And it is this year – 2013!” All glory goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

In Jesus name

Amen!

Shepherds, watch for wolves!

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them… I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard…” (Mt 7:15, 16; 10: 16, 17)

True facts about wolves:

They look like dogs but they are not dogs. They are wild, dangerous animals. They live in packs, helping one another to hunt and kill They fear only two enemies: tigers and men They sense of smell is relatively weak. They cannot track animals that hide underground

They hate the sound of strings and become very restless and mad when they hear it

They are able to distinguish between armed and unarmed men. They do not attack bold people who display confidence Running away is the worst strategy for it stimulates them and they will attack and kill. If the targeted animal stands its ground, the wolves either ignore it, or try to intimidate it into running. If the prey is in a group, the wolves try to isolate one from it. Once they get the prey, the kill more than they can eat to teach their young to hunt. They eat first the internal organs: heart, liver, kidneys and spleen. They eat up to 20% of their body weight. When very hungry the strong wolves eat the weak ones.

They communicate with an intimidating sound call howling. They howl together, like a choir, to give the impression that they are more than they really are.

They are not good as pets. Most attempts to train them as dogs ended in failure. They get bored easily with obeying the same commands and they constantly fight among themselves for personal space. They do not respond to kindness and reward. They get friendly with strangers more than with the owner. They refuse to stay in a dog house. They watch the owner how he closes the door and how he unlocks it. Once they have learned to do that, they will not rest until they run away. If later they meet the former owner, they have no remembrance of their relationship and can kill him without mercy They are ultimately unreliable and can never compete with dogs in faithfulness and labor.

They travel long distances carrying viruses with them. They are very resistant to sickness but the viruses affect the livestock

The shepherds hate them because they attack animals that cannot defend themselves. The sheep are their favorite pray. They usually kill in surplus. Because of the stress, the animals that survive miscarry or lose weight after the attack. The wolves are not afraid to attack the dogs that protect the sheep. Many dogs die in these attacks.

Some people worship them for their boldness and strength. The wolves generally avoid humans but they can attack when very hungry, or when they are permitted to stay close to villages and so they lose the fear of men There is no much gain from hunting them. Their fur is beautiful but has a bad odor. Their flesh is tough and smelly and few people eat it.

Therefore, I declare that IN CHRIST:

“I shall not ignore the danger of wicked religious people, false prophets who come to spy in the church, to open the door for demons to come in, to kill, steal and destroy! I shall watch and pray! I should be wise, humble and patient, contently staying hidden in Christ! I should not desire fame or visibility except when my Master approves of it for His glory!

I shall repent of any sin detected under the conviction of the Spirit! My heart shall be pure and holy!

I reject the evil spirit of fear, but I accept power, love and sound mind to do the will of God! I stand my ground, jealous over God’s ministry entrusted to me; I am protected with the whole armor of God! I resist the devil and his agents; I shall not submit to intimidation. The devil is a liar and he shall run away from me!

I praise God for the anointing over my life! I shall preach the true Gospel of Christ crucified to every soul! I shall not fear opposition! I shall not fear what they fear! I shall not be intimidated by their words or faces! My Captain can never lose any battle and I am in his army! I shall pray for the true prophetic gif of the Holy Spirit to be released to the Body of Christ! We need it, Lord!

I shall be cautious and pray before I become close friend with any one! I shall not open my heart to strangers! I shall oversee the flock God has entrusted to me with no fear of man and no lust for money! I shall train helpers in prophetic spiritual warfare: to be mature, responsible, trustworthy, wise, faithful and bold! I shall delight in mentoring them in the unity of the Spirit! I shall be ready to lay down my life for my sheep!

I declare confusion in the camp of the enemy….they shall quarrel and destroy one another, unable to attack the innocent

I shall praise Jehovah with stringed instruments; my guitar shall be free from dust! I shall take pleasure to see false prophets panicking and running away as I worship my KING! I shall hear my name tagged as ‘good and faithful servant’! I have King David and Apostle Paul as my examples! Best of all, I imitate the Good Shepherd, my Lord Jesus Christ!

_wolf_sheepI declare that the winter season of success for wolves, the false prophets in Warri, is over! The spring time of a new beginning is here! The power of resurrection and of revival is here! Peace be unto this land! In Jesus name, Amen!”

WORRY FREE

 “When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away… Therefore I tell you do not worry about your life…Do not worry about tomorrow…But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well” (Mk 16:1-4; Mt 6:25-34)

To worry is dangerous, unhealthy and addictive. The success of a man’s life depends much on the state of his mind. To worry it means to constantly change position, to be spiritually restless, to adjust internally to new mental images, real or imaginary. This leads to mental and emotional tiredness. The store of patience is depleted and the center of self-control is damaged. This spiritual torment and constant panic attacks open the gate to evil spirits to enter and build strongholds. Doubt, fear, confusion, lust, greed and pride become part of your attitude to life. They are wicked tenants to the soul. The peace of God, the comfort and joy of the Spirit, the faith and trust in God’s Word, all these are going away.

The unbelievers spend their time and energy seeking food, drink, clothes, youth, beauty and length of life. These are not just items or ‘prayer points’ but their idols. We are all born sinners so we are experienced and skilled in the sin of worry. Observe that anxiety is always connected with the things of this world. No one is worried how to serve God better, how to study the Word of pray more. Anxiety is foolish and impotent: it cannot make me taller, richer, stronger and wiser or increase the length of my days…

So what is the solution then? How can I defeat this tendency to doubt the Word of God and worry constantly?

The solution is this: Set your priorities right! SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God and its King!

The believers are defined as people whose priorities are right! Invest time and effort in the study of God’s Word, in serving Him in your local assembly, faithfully doing the ministry He has given to you…Then all things shall fall into place. You shall experience the promised blessed increase and addition in all you do….The success of the Gospel in your life shall encourage you to trust God even more…

This is the order of my relationships: with God (first), with myself (second), with my spouse (third), with my children (forth) with my coworkers, friends and others…Seeking God is always first! Once you change that order, you shall worry about your life, marriage, children, job and all. The women came to the tomb worrying who will roll the stone away for them…that worry was natural but it was a lie…there was no need for the worry, for the angels have done the work with just a breath of heaven…

I declare that IN CHRIST: “God has provided me with all I need, spiritually and materially. He has given me wisdom, strength, health, provision, food, drink, clothes, a home, friends, mentors, family, spouse, children, ministry, spiritual covering in the local church…

I command you: wicked spirit of religion, doubt, hypocrisy, foolishness, worry and fear to leave me and mine, and go away in the name of Jesus! I uproot all wrong imaginations from my mind! I destroy all ancestral covenants made with familiar spirits of worry and unbelief!

Right now I speak peace to my soul! My little faith shall increase! I shall trust God, Jehovah Jireh, for all things and in all circumstances! I shall live and walk by faith! I shall not worry about the length and quality of my life, about my reputation as a servant of God or the place where I am told to serve! I shall not worry about tomorrow! I shall live one day at a time! I shall trust that God is able to provide, heal, deliver and change all negative circumstances around…He has even sent angels to prepare the way and to open that new door for me…”

Seek firstI finally rest my soul… I knell down and I worship the King…for there is no better way for me to spend this moment in time…

Reward according to works

 “Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to HIS WORKS. Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every EVIL WORK and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen (2Tim 4:14-18; KJ)

The opposition is working…The busybodies do ‘evil works’. They are looking for new methods to withstand the preaching of the Word of God, the true Gospel of Christ. The word ‘withstand’ means to be established, skillful and experienced in opposition. This prolonged persecution is not the work of a novice. Years of compounded stubbornness have hardened the hearts and wills into the evil work of attacking the righteous. These are professional religious assemblies led by them who hate the Cross. The Gentiles are their ignorant slaves, bending under illegal yokes of doubt and darkness. Hope is just a word and love is just a valentine…

But God…But God…But God!!!

Paul was rejected, abandoned and forsaken by all. But God Himself stood with Him and strengthens Him. The wicked lion open his hungry mouth but could not close it again for the Lord was there and broke his jaws. Paul was delivered and preserved, by the Lord Jesus Himself! Behold the ultimate revelation of power available to men on earth…All glory to the Lamb who was slain!

“I declare that IN CHRIST: The enemies of God who resist the truth, who refuse to enter the Kingdom and block the door that none may go in, these shall not prosper…they shall be paid trouble for the trouble they have caused…they shall drink double from the cup of grief they forced others to drink…the lion that could not swallow Daniel and Paul, shall swallow them and their households, except their repent of their ‘evil works’ and come to the Cross…

The friends of God shall be strengthen with the power by the Holy Spirit; they shall be encouraged to preach the truth; they shall stand firm in the face of all opposition as a testimony to their King; their anointing shall increase; they shall long enjoy the work of their hands; they shall see their children’s children; they shall be rewarded openly for the hidden sacrifices known to the Father alone; willing volunteers shall rise to intercede and help them; they shall be blessed with the blessings of Christ and the intimate presence of God will never depart from their abode…

Lastly: God will raise more preachers who will be strong and faithful to their holy calling; the Gospel of Christ Crucified shall be preached from sea to sea and multitudes of sinners shall find their Savior! None can stop this avalanche of revival!

In Jesus name,

Amen!”

Patient and faithful

 

‘I heard and my heart pounded…my legs trembled…Yet, I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us’ (Hab 3:16)

I decree judgment on any shrine, idol, evil spirit or imagination that boldly stands against the knowledge of God in this land!

The idol of oppression in the business world, in the offices, in the markets, in the police force, in the workshops…it is under God’s judgment right now! The money made thru fraud, the success of ‘419’, the wealth stolen from others, the riches taken thru kidnapping and armed robbery…all this unjust gain will speak loud in the Court of heaven, against the criminals, until they shall be mad… except they repent to God and return the stolen money back to the victims…

The idol of religion shall collapse under the weight of intercession coming from God’s people! The priests, false prophets, fake pastors and worshippers of these idols shall be confused, agitated, anxious, depressed…they shall find no peace, no joy…they shall fail in their businesses… they shall lose their wealth… they shall become exposed and disgraced…their name will be remembered as examples of wickedness… their spells over people will fail…they shall lose all favor with all men… no one will feel sorry for them or take them in their houses…none of their so called ‘prayers’ will pass the roof except the one for mercy…no counsel will work for them except the one to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ!

I decree that: you wicked spirit of Jezebel, you bargain for the souls of men, you mislead God’s servants into sexual immorality and idolatry…I declare that you have failed, that you are bankrupt, that you exposed and disgraced…even the children shall laugh at you and you can’t stop it…

The mighty hand of God writes on the wall of your shrine: “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin” (“God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end…You have been weighed in the scales and found wanting…your kingdom is divided and given to your enemies!”) (Dan 5:25-27)

I decree that: The oppressed shall rejoice! The victims shall sing! The poor shall dance! The sick shall be healed! Marriages shall be restored! Blind eyes shall open! Weakness shall become strength!

All glory goes to God Almighty, Jehovah Sabaoth!

The victory is sure!

 

As for me: in Christ:

I will be patient!

I will be faithful!

I shall not be tired to walk by faith!

I shall read the Word of God daily finding His will in it!  

I will continue to pray until the Word of God is performed!

Signs and wonders are my portion and eternal blessings in Christ my eternal inheritance!  

Worship King Jesus for He alone is the Lord!

PERFECT, ESTABLISHED, STRONG AND SETTLED

 “But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you! Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen” (1Pet 5:10. 11)

“I declare that IN CHRIST…

I am PERFECT, complete, mature, a leader and an example to others; they see Christ in me; they h…ear the Word of God on my lips; they see how God works, begins and fulfills His plan in my life…I hate sin, I hate self…I do not make unnecessary mistakes…I boast of God and of His love for me with no fear of disappointment…

I am ESTABLISHED, confirmed in God’s call, fixed and focused in my desire to serve Him; I abide in the center of God’s will; I am planted by Him in a particular place for the display of His splendor and glory…I cannot be uprooted or demoted by any man…

I am STRONG and with each passing year I become even stronger; Age is just a number; My body is quickened by the Holy Spirit; my mind is sound; my heart is filled with increasing passion for Jesus; I am able to use all my talents and gifts given to me by God; I am wise, persistent, tough, able to resist the enemy until he is confused and he flees away from me…I am not weak, I do not faint or fail in my duty; there is no secret sin that corrupts my heart; I reject heart failure, kidneys failure, destiny failure… am planted by Him in a particular place for the display of His splendor and glory…I cannot be uprooted or demoted by any man… I am STRONG and with each passing year I become even stronger; Age is just a number; My body is quickened by the Holy Spirit; my mind is sound; my heart is filled with increasing passion for Jesus; I am able to use all my talents and gifts given to me by God; I am wise, persistent, tough, able to resist the enemy until he is confused and he flees away from me…I am not weak, I do not faint or fail in my duty; there is no secret sin that corrupts my heart; I reject heart failure, kidneys failure, destiny failure…

I am SETTLED, I have a permanent address in heaven; my name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life; I have a home; I am happily married, with children (natural and spiritual) with grandchildren; my spiritual foundation is deep and secure; I am sure of ‘making heaven’; I am confident of my identity …I am not disturbed, I am not anxious, I am not depressed or disappointed…

Do you think that my boasting is too much? Do you think that it is impossible to be perfect and complete in Christ?
Then you do not know the God I serve…
He is the GOD OF ALL GRACE AND ALL POWER BELONGS TO HIM FOREVER AND EVER!
When He says ‘Yes’… no one can say ‘no’!
When He opens a door, no one can shut it!
When He shuts a door, the whole world cannot open it by force!
What He plants, no one can uproot!
In Jesus name,
Amen!”

Prayer for revival in Warri, Nigeria

HAPPY WITH CHURCH TONIGHTWarri_Rooftops

The valley of dead, dry bones (Ez 37:1-14)

Revival means ‘open heavens’ and the Holy Spirit pouring down in a specific area. The atmosphere changes; the people change, radically and eternally. There is acceleration in the spirit realm. The backsliders come back home, the sinners are saved, the sick and healed, the burden of many generations lifted.

The hand of the Lord is upon Ezekiel. The power, resources, direction, strategy, the intimate fellowship and ministry of the Spirit is ‘the engine’ of revival.

Revival starts with hunger for more of God. The Author of revival is God Almighty. We are to trust, obey and pray for it!

The Holy Spirit carried Ezekiel to a valley full of many bones. The words ‘many bones’ mean abundance of prosperity. The natural people see only death, failure and defeat. With prophetic eyes we see that in the very place where all hope is gone, the power of resurrection shall ignite the miracle of life and prosperity.

The bones of wicked men are buried and the soil covers them. They are forgotten by God and man. But this valley full of bones is an ‘open valley’, it is not covered with sand, it is not forgotten. The open valley means there is hope, that God remembers me in my lowest estate and I shall stand, I shall live, to give glory to His name!

The city of Warri has suffered much. All the inhabitants here desire to ‘travel abroad’. No one really likes to stay here. The streets are dirty and the electric power unstable. There are kidnappers and armed robbers. The markets are full of cheats and violence is the native language.    

But with the eyes of faith and the breath of the Spirit, we prayed and prophesied for Warri tonight. God is pleased with our evening sacrifice.  He promised us that if we pray for this ‘ugly’ city we shall be receive ‘blessings without struggle’.

The Word prophesied in song by a little girl of ten was this:

“If you believe, you shall see My glory…This is My glory, if you believe…

Lord I believe, I stand in Your glory…Glory….Glory…”

Amen!

I prosper in body and spirit!

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 Jn 1:2)

The word ‘To prosper’ in Greek it means to have a constant Friend, Counselor, Helper and Teacher in the journey of life; to start a project and to finish it; to succeed in business affairs.

The word ‘health’ means to be completely protected from sickness and weakness of the body and mind; to be safe and whole; to understand the true doctrine of salvation;

“I declare that IN CHRIST… I am a beloved child of God and I am always about my Father’s business! I walk by faith, led by the Holy Spirit, completely protected from sickness, loneliness, foolishness and weakness. I will never make mistakes for I walk in the light that increases every hour! This year my anointing, my ministry and my business will increase, for it is done to God’s honor! I am the chosen servant of God who takes pleasure in transferring the wealth from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light! My enemies will become poor and my children shall become saved and rich! I shall not fear the devil and his agents, but they shall fear me! I am the personal project and boast of Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Rapha! All glory to God Almighty!

In Jesus name!

Amen!”

A Wall of Fire around and Glory within

Jesus Mega Party 2012 is over. So many lessons to learn…So many reasons to give praise to God…

Some things we prayed for and expected by faith were the same like in the past. For example, the number of people that came to hear about Jesus was in the thousands. Multitudes answered ‘the altar call’ and prayed ‘the sinner’s prayer’. Praise God!

But this year was different in many aspects. For example, the armed police men that we contacted did not come. At the last minute they went somewhere else. The men in the church had to do ‘the policing’ the best they could. But glory to God, with all that multitude of sinners looking for salvation, no serious incident was reported. Then we discovered, just yesterday, that the man who supplied the fireworks from Lagos, had cheated us. He sent fewer and ‘expired’ ones. So the firework was not as great like in the past. But then, God is ever faithful! The anointing of God, His fire of Baptism took over the field…As the voice of the pastor shouted: Happy New Year…most people fell on their knees and prayed and prayed totally ignoring any firework display in the sky. Another new thing: Probably because I was the only ‘oyibo’ (‘white’ skin) in the midst of thousands Nigerians, the ‘big’ ushers came and surrounded me. But there was no need of man’s ‘protection’…The spirit of fear was totally absent in the field…To my surprise, and theirs too, people just came from all over and knelt down around me asking for prayers and blessings. There was no way to refuse such a blessed request. I started praying in tongues and I told them to pray for the Baptism of the Spirit, for miracles and revival. That’s all! Then I touched their heads…Each one burst in tongues and giving glory to God…tears streaming on their faces, joy overflowing, down in the sand…couples came together, hand in hand praying…the barren and the sick, the strange looking and ‘the normal’ ones…as the praise was going on loud on the stage, the Holy Spirit came down to do His peculiar work in the hearts of His hungry worshippers…I have never heard so many desperate prayers in tongues around me since we started Jesus Mega Party about ten years ago. If there was any robber who wanted to kidnap me, there was no way to pass the wall of tongues and fire… from people I have never seen in my life…

I have seen it with my eyes and I testify that Jesus had His own Party indeed; that His soul was satisfied last night, that He has received the evening offering of praise at the Cross…There is not greater protection that Christ Himself!

“Jerusalem (Father’s House Bible Church, Warri, Nigeria) will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it. And I Myself will be a Wall of fire around it- declares the Lord – and I will be its glory within!” (Zec 2:4, 5)

I am a witness to the glory and the revival in Warri!

I believe, therefore I have spoken!
