ONE MORE POWERFUL THAN I
The greatest miracle of all is to become a child of God! The next supernatural blessing is to become filled with the Holy Spirit, to receive power to be a witness for the Lord. It is the greatest privilege to serve God, to do ministry, to be a pastor or a teacher of the Word. It is also a great responsibility to be a father (mother) in Christ, a mentor, a role model to others. Children imitate their parents, what they see and what they hear. No man is an island. We influence others to be better or worse. May God use us for more, for His glory and for the encouragement of others!
This is a letter from a brother who attends our church. He got married not too long ago. His wife was attending another church before their marriage. She was born again but not Spirit filled. She came to see me. She had some complains. I told her all she needs is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then the miracle happened. The heavens opened…The Holy Spirit filled her to overflow. She is now so much better, loving God, hungry for His Word. Her face shines with the glory of God. She is a better wife and mother. To God be all the glory!

“For your ways are in full view of the Lord and He examines all your paths. The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly” (PV 5:20-23)

The church cannot save a soul. Religion cannot change his heart. If you see a religious man addicted to a particular sin and unable to be delivered, it means he is ‘wicked’. In other words he is an unbeliever. For the believer has real help, the power of the Holy Spirit. He prays in the name of Jesus and he can be set free from any sin. But the unbeliever uses the power of his flesh trying to be free. That is a losing battle. According to the Bible, an unbeliever is a wicked man. Everything he does is wicked. Even his so called prayer is offensive to God. The wicked deeds are the very cords that ‘ensnare’ his soul. It is a trap of the devil forcing his victim to commit more evil.

An unbeliever is not only wicked but also a rebellious fool. Without Christ he will perish for ‘lack of discipline’. In Hebrew this word means chastisement, warning, instruction, restrain, correction, rebuke or instruction according to correct doctrine. Without the chastisement of God the wicked shall go astray. The proud man shall be misled. He will make many mistakes, becoming deceived and deceiving others. Intoxicated with his foolishness, ignorant of the truth, he will wander into more danger and disgrace.

Tonight I worship God…looking back, I discover that it is so easy to go astray! This evening I thank God for His Fatherly love, for chastising me, for blocking my way when I wanted to backslide, for using people to rebuke me for my pride, for my loveless attitude and my dangerous fears…I thank God especially for my husband, who is also my pastor, who pointed out to me my faults as a wife, as a woman of God, and patiently corrected me…I thank God for my children who helped me to see my weaknesses as a mother and help me to improve…I even thank God for my enemies who were hard enough on me. They made me cry but my tears washed the dirt of confusion and the slime of fear…I thank God for the Holy Spirit who did not allow me to go too far in my foolishness …Yes, this is a thanksgiving night for me…To God be all the glory!

Do you know the story of Cinderella? I hope you do for it is one of my favorite children’ story. She was a princess. Her mother died and her father re-married. Her step mother hated Cinderella and punished her daily. She was to stay at home, clean the house, cook and labor like a slave. Her step sisters had fancy clothes and they could go out to the parties. Cinderella was humble, well behaved and beautiful. Her sisters were spoiled, proud, lazy, rude and ugly. One day, the king of that domain announced that he will open the gates of his palace for a great royal party. His son, the prince, was looking for a bride and all the young girls were invited to attend it. The step mother made the decision: only she and her daughters will go to the king’s palace. Cinderella will stay at home. To increase her labor she poured a sack of rice on the floor and added sand to it. She told Cinderella that if she is able to clean the rice, she can go to the party too. This was an impossible task. To make it even more difficult, Cinderella did not even have nice clothes. Then a miracle happens. The angel of God intervenes. Supernaturally Cinderella’s labor was done in seconds. Beautiful clothes and a golden carriage fit for a princess appear at the door. That is how Cinderella goes to the party. She wins the heart of the prince and they get married. Her step mother and her daughters are disappointed and totally defeated. This is a long story made short…

Spiritually speaking, the devil attacks the godly, the faithful and the humble believers. The devil has no mercy, no patience and no kindness. You may be overwhelmed with hard labor and discouragement. You may feel depressed and not appreciated. The main source of this attack is the evil spirit of religion, called Jezebel. Her agents are lovers of money, proud, rude, lazy and morally corrupted. These people (men or women) have some authority over you. They can be your spouse, your boss, political leaders, bank managers, relatives or friends. They love to oppress you. They frustrate your life with impossible demands. They are never satisfied with your labors. They never see anything good in you, they discourage you. They are fault finders. They will ‘add sand to the rice’ and ask you to clean it. If you beg for mercy they will only mock you…If you weep in their presence, they will only be happy…

What can you do, child of God? First of all, remember God! Do not panic! Also, do not be distracted! Have faith in God’s Word! Be strong and courageous! Just like with Cinderella, pray for God to come down and help you. He knows your pain and He knows your address. God is faithful! Pray! Pray! Pray! You need a miracle! Do not make the mistake to fight using your own natural wisdom or power. You need the Holy Spirit to fight your battles. Then you will surely win.

The lesson from Cinderella’ story is this: It is not she who laughs first that will rejoice at last! It is not she who loves money that will be promoted! It is not she who goes to the party that will marry the prince! God is not unjust to forget all your labor of love for Him! The Royal Bride is chosen from among the children of God. Boaz married Ruth! Xerxes married Esther! God calls you ‘My beloved’!  Do not fear what men will do! God’s favor is with you! That is all that you need! Trust the Almighty God who alone knows the end from the beginning! Jesus is the Owner of your life and the Director of your love story! None can delete your destined testimony! Let your light shine before men… I am hearing the heavenly music…Put on your dancing shoes…Let the miracle happen…

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;

My horn is exalted in the Lord.

I smile at my enemies,

Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

“No one is holy like the Lord,

For there is none besides You,

Nor is there any rock like our God.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich;

He brings low and lifts up.

He raises the poor from the dust

And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,

To set them among princes

And make them inherit the throne of glory” (1Samuel 2)

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

I and my family we are blessed!

I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God!

My enemies are defeated!

God is with me so my victory is sure!

I will never be disappointed!

I shall testify of God’s goodness and mercy in my life!

My ashes have become my beauty!

God has vindicated me! For His glory!

I am now happy…

In Jesus name,

Amen!

PRAISE REPORT

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb 11:6)

Faith is the breath and the oxygen of the Christian. Faith is an intimate relationship with the Truth, with the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Rom). Biblical faith is a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is Truth, the Word made flesh. Not all religious faiths are acceptable or pleasing to God. The ‘pleasing faith’ is the total trust of the born again believer in God the Father, who was pleased to allow all His fullness to dwell in His Son (Col 1:19).  You need to be pleased with what God is pleased. Out of that organic unity, true faith in God matures in the believer and shall produce expected fruit. God rewards any person who desires to meet with Him, to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. God is a Rewarder! To reward it means that God will pay back for all your efforts, expenses and losses incurred in the process of seeking Him!

This is a true testimony I just heard it today, at the end of the Sunday service.

A sister came to my office late last year. She, her husband and children attended a ‘white garments’ church for many years (this is a cult, a non-Biblical ‘church’). Her parents are saved and they continued to pray for them. About a year ago, they decided to come to our church. Immediately they saw the light of God and became saved. She told me that they live far away. That the only car they have is used by her husband. That she wants to come to weekly church activities and even to be involved in a ministry. She said that she cannot come because of lack of ‘transport’. Then I asked her: “What will you do if God gives you a car?” She said that she will give God all the glory and she promises to become a usher in the church. Then I quoted Hebrews 1:6. I told her that if she is serious with God, she should take a step of faith and become an usher even without a car. I assured her that God rewards people who sacrifice in seeking Him. She got excited and accepted the challenge. We then prayed. I told her that God will give her a new car that consumes very little fuel. That she will not work for that car. That someone will bring the keys of that car to her as a gift from God. Since then she has been faithful as an usher, coming to weekly activities with her 3 little children using public transport.

At the end of today’s service she came and told me that God has answered the prayer of 6 months ago. This is the story: Her husband is involved in local politics. Yesterday he went to the party’s rally in a village. The leader took the microphone and announced that some people will be rewarded for their hard labor in the party. He called their names. Her husband was surprised to hear his name. He went to the podium and they gave him a new Japanese car (in Nigeria we called it ‘tear-rubber’). He cried and worshipped God. He drove home with the new car. He did not tell his wife about it, so it will be a surprise. He came into the house and gave her the keys of the car. He promised to register it in her name so that she can come to church with the children. To God be all the glory!

May your faith in Jehovah Jireh increase! Believe that God exists and that He will reward your labor of love as you seek and serve Him! Do not seek money, cars or fame. Seek Jesus Christ in whom the fullness of God the Father dwells. Work for God. Pay the price for ministry. Seek God until you find Him. This is the promise of God: He that trusts in God shall not be disappointed! God will reward your faith and pay with much more than you expect!

This is our God!

In Christ I declare:

I trust in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!

Faith 100%! Doubt 0%!

My faith in God shall be rewarded!

I shall not be disappointed!

To God be all the glory!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” (Gen 22:14)

We reminded ourselves of the prophetic word given last week: “You shall go up the mountain of God and you shall encounter Jehovah Jireh!” We made some progress drawing closer to God. We expect that God appreciates our faith and efforts and shall draw closer to us!
The prayer meeting was very strong today. Recently, the number of people who attend our church has increased. We need more wisdom and a higher anointing to fill all the needy, empty vessels. I was a little worried this evening if the oil will be enough. That was a mistake, to worry myself. The oil started flowing and it did not stop even after we closed the meeting. I love it when the brethren go home filled to the brim, with joy overflow, enough to give others who were left behind. I just love to do ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit!
We praised God! We declared that the name of Jesus is above every other name. All other ‘names’ who had any claim to our emotions, all idols, fancy or not, are all disgraced and ran away. I love to boast of my Lord’s exploits in our midst. I love Jesus! Then the message came. Basically we reminded ourselves that God is the Owner of His creation and we are His stewards or servants. Simply, but profound…No confusion…The Truth will set you free!

JEHOVAH JIREH IS THE OWNER OF ALL CREATION
“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters” (Ps 24:1, 2)
“The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me” (Lev 25:23)
“Who has a claim against Me that I must pay?
Everything under heaven belongs to Me” (Job 41:11)
“Every animal of the forest is Mine and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains and the insects in the fields are Mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you for the world is Mine, and all that is in it” (Ps 50:10-12)
“The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts” (Hag 2:8)
“Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1Cor 6:19, 20)

God is the owner of the earth. He chose to give the Promised Land to His people. He told them to drive away the Canaanites. He told them to destroy the shrines they see there. Only the owner can decree such. God created and owns all the animals, wild or domesticated. He owns all the insects. The mosquito you just killed belongs to God. The silver and the gold in the ground and in the jewelry shop belong to God. Your body belongs to God too.

THE BASIC RIGHTS OF A PROPERTY OWNER
These are spiritual laws. These are also earthly laws. God is the ultimate Owner. He gives you some of His property to own in His name. If you own property, you have the right to do the following with it:
*Possess it
Possessing property basically means intentionally exercising physical control over it. If you own real property, you have the right to occupy the land and the structures on it.
*Use it
Property has value because the owner can use it somehow. You can use real property all sorts of ways, such as building things on it, keeping personal property on it, and doing whatever you want to do — eating, sleeping…
*Exclude others from it
You are the owner of the property. The problem is that others want to possess and use the same things like you. As a result, the property would become useless to you. Excluding others is really what makes it your property. If you can’t exclude others from using a thing, it probably shouldn’t be called your property.
*Transfer it to someone else
You can choose to whom you can give your property in a written contract or in a will. You can lend it to anyone you like but you are still the owner.

If you are a child of God, then you are God’s steward or servant in charge of a part of God’s property entrusted to you. You have to be faithful to your master. You shall give an account to God of the way you managed His property entrusted in your care. You may know these things in your head, but you need to know them deep in your spirit. You need to apply them in all decisions you make. Your prayers should reflect them. Your dreams should absorb them. You need to live a life depending on God, recognizing His total rights as the Creator, Savior, Owner, Judge and Lord over your life. Mistakes happen when we forget these basic revelations. Today, humbled by the truth, we stood in awe at God’s mercy and grace to us. To God be all the glory!

In Christ I declare:
God, Jehovah Jireh is the Owner of all creation and of my life as well!
My body was bought with a price, with the Blood of Jesus! I belong to Jesus!
My husband, children, grandchildren and all I possess belong to Jesus!
I am glad I belong to Jesus, I belong to Jesus, I belong to my Lord… (singing)
To God be all the glory
In Jesus name
Amen!

We’ve just finished our Women Fellowship. This month all of us we fast and pray. This was a wonderful idea, to start the New Year well. We pray that the unbelievers in our church will become saved. We pray that the believers will become spiritually mature. The prayer meeting was very good. Many women came; the married and the single. This evening we had a record attendance. We came to God with Thanksgiving. Then we did warfare against the evil spirit of Jezebel. It was very powerful. Below is the message.

“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave” (PV 5:3-5)

Sexual sin is always connected with the sin of rebellion. Rebellion is as witchcraft (1 Sam 15:23). Adultery creates soul ties that are difficult to break. You become a slave to the devil. You may need deliverance. Ask for help! Do not rest until you are free, body soul and spirit! Jezebel will boldly tell you to ignore the commands of God. She will tell you that your body is your property, to do what you want with it. That you can sleep anywhere you want, that you can have sex for money or abortions at will. By this she ignores the truth that says your body belongs to Jesus, was bought you with a price. That contract was sealed at the Cross.

“I (Jesus Christ) gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality” (Rev 2:21)

Basically you will know her by her pride, stubbornness and hatred of true Biblical repentance. She hates to say ‘sorry’. She refuses to repent or be corrected. When she wants to look religious she will ‘repent’ with a fake worldly sorrow that produces more death. Jezebel is not teachable; she can never be a disciple for Jesus.

“For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death” (2Cor 7:10)

The name ‘Jezebel’ means to be ‘like a virgin’. In the church she pretends to be innocent and pure. She is the mistress of deception. The only way you know that something is wrong is with the passing of time. As you continue to pray, you will observe that ‘old sins’ that should have been repented of long ago are still there. Her victims live a life of constant failure, giving the impression that the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus do not have the power to free from sin. Because of this, many have fallen to the temptation to doubt the Word of God, to believe that Christianity ‘does not work’. Because of her lies, many backslide, thinking that Christianity is a joke or a game of hypocrisy. That is her intent, to make you backslide, to change religion.  She is a liar, a deceiver.

But the truth is that she cannot deceive all the people, all the time. The Holy Spirit will intervene to stop the wave of evil. Watch and pray. Child of God, be encouraged! Jezebel is strong but God is stronger! In spite of all these evil attacks and against all odds, you shall not die, but live in the light of the Word of God! You shall make progress for all to see! This will become your precious testimony as a faithful servant of Christ!

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

I do not live in sin!

I am a sinner saved by the grace of God, thru faith in the Blood of Jesus shed on the Cross!

I reject any connection I ever had with Jezebel!

If I fall, I quickly repent of any known sin!

I watch and pray!

I live in the light of God’s Word and I am led by the Holy Spirit!

To the glory of God!

In Jesus name,

Amen!

“The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived” (Nu 21:8, 9)

The people of God became ‘impatient’ with the long travels in the desert. Then they started complaining against God and His servant, Moses. In particular they expressed their hatred for God’s choice of food for them. They called the Angel’s bread, manna ‘miserable food’.

God chastised them. He sent venomous snakes among them. Many were bitten and died painful deaths. Humbled, the people went to Moses to ask for forgiveness and to intercede for them. God answered his prayer for mercy and told Moses what to do. He was to make a bronze snake and out it on a pole. Anyone who looks at that manufactured impaled bronze snake shall live. Anyone who refuses to look shall die!

God uses the desert as a class room. God is the Teacher. He teaches His people that the devil is a created being. God created the devil. Thru this picture God shows them that the devil can never be equal with Himself, Elohim, the Creator. Two times God tells Moses ‘to make’ a bronze snake and ‘to put it on a pole’.

In Hebrew, the word ‘make’ means to do, to execute, to govern, to prepare, to provide, to hinder, to finish, to war against it, to work upon or to use for something. The word ‘put on’ means to determine, to appoint, to impute, to lay down or lay-up, a particular place for a particular purpose or to overturn the work of another.
Many hundreds of years later, Hezekiah King of Judah broke the bronze snake because the people worshiped it as an idol (2Kg 18:4)

From these words you can see that the devil is part of God’s creation. It is God who created all things for His purpose. The right of the Creator is to destroy what He wants to destroy. None can argue with that. The pole represents the Cross, raised on Calvary Hill, a particular place for a particular purpose. On that Cross Jesus said: It is finished!

This is the Gospel we preach: Our Lord, a sinless sacrifice, died on the Cross for our sins. He became sin so that His righteousness may be imputed upon us. He said that the snake that Moses made and set up is a symbol of His death and the power released at the Cross (Jn 3). He promised that He will die and rise again. He did! If you look at the Cross and with the eyes of the Spirit you see Christ crucified then you shall become born again, you shall live eternally. This is the truth: The devil is not the sovereign God! He is a created being. The Holy Spirit will reveal to you that the devil has being judged and found guilty as ‘a murderer from the beginning’. There is no redemption for the devil. Do not be afraid of the devil. Fear not the evil spirit of fear! The devil is a loser!

Stop grumbling against God and His ways with you! Do not be impatient! Stop grumbling against your pastor! This rebellious way of life will only increase your sorrows! Change your focus! Do not look to men for your deliverance! Look unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith! Look at the Cross! Look long, patiently and repentantly, until the Holy Spirit will change your heart! There is Power in the Blood of Jesus! You shall see the price Love has paid for the salvation of your soul!

MY TESTIMONY
You shall weep and repent…to repent is not easy…but at last you shall be saved, healed and set free! This is the promise of God! I am a witness that it is so! The snake of unbelief bit me and I was dying…no mercy, no peace… Then I looked up and saw that the devil, my former master was ‘made and set up’. I changed my allegiance. I gave my life to Christ. Now Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord! Thru faith in His Blood I became saved and free. I now serve God! I preach the Gospel of Christ Crucified and Resurrected! You too, look to Jesus and be saved! The miracle of eternal life shall be your portion! Look and live!!!

In Christ I declare:
I am a child of God!
I am a sinner saved by the grace of God!
I reject every form of rebellion, pride, impatience and grumbling!
I have overcome the devil by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony!
I am a witness for Jesus Christ to the end of the world!
I have tasted God and declare that He is good!
I am saved, healed and delivered!
I have eternal life!
To the glory of God!
In Jesus name
Amen!

“Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” (Mt 9:14-17)

Fasting in the New Testament is not a specific command. God does not tell us specifically when or how to fast. The Holy Spirit must lead even in this area. Fasting is a spiritual exercise that has great benefits. It is a willing sacrifice, connected with prayer. It is not enough to admire people who fast and pray. You need to do it yourself to discover the value and reward of this, often forgotten, treasure. This is a good question: Why do we fast? This is the answer: To seek God afresh, to draw closer to Him.

The disciples of John the Baptist were a little confused seeing that the disciples of Jesus do not fast like them. The Christians seem to be worldlier than the religious Pharisees who fasted, prayed and tithed even their herbs. Our Lord explained to them the secret of true fasting in the Kingdom of God. When the King is in the midst of His people, happy and strong, with the Bride at His side, there is no need for the guests to fast. Just rejoice! There are times when prayer is easy. You just speak to the Lord directly and share in His joy. But if the King is ‘taken away’, His friends will miss Him, desire Him. Their longing to see His face again will lead them to fast and pray. They will not stop until He comes back and revives their spirits. The Cross always precedes the latter Joy!

Simply said, fasting is eating less food than usual. Fasting is a sign of mourning. Without food, your flesh ‘dies’. Surprisingly, your spirit gets stronger. Like the first flowers at springtime, pushing thru the snow, your spirit will break thru the spiritual slumber. Fasting brings revival; refreshes and encourages you spiritually. It is done in ‘secret’, for the King’s pleasure alone. God acknowledges and rewards your sacrifice with answer to prayers, healing, deliverance, increased anointing and greater intimacy in fellowship with Him.

Our Lord gives us two pictures: the new patch on an old garment and the new wine in old skins. These show us the difference between the old and the new, between religion and the Kingdom of God. Jesus is the King of kings. He brings a new way of serving God, full of power, mercy and joy. For the first time we see that religious rules and regulations are dangerous and dead. For example, Jesus touches a leper and heals him. In the Old Testament whoever touches a leper becomes unclean and disqualified for ministry. But Jesus reverses the flow and makes the man clean. This is the drama of Holiness on earth. But the religious leaders misunderstand and hate Jesus.

This is another example: When Jesus went to the house of Jairus, the flute players were already there. These are hired people to sing sad songs during burials. But Jesus sends them away. No need for weeping, fasting or mournful songs. The King is here, Eternal Life is here and the miracles will abound. Jesus touches the girl. She comes back to life. Immediately the fasting changes into a feast. The song of mourning becomes the song of joy. Weeping in the night is replaced by joy in the morning.
This is God’s promise: They who fast and pray for revival shall rejoice! Even so come Lord Jesus…

In Christ I declare:
God has heard my prayer!
My fasting shall be rewarded!
Revival shall come!
I reject religious spirits!
I am filled with the Holy Spirit!
Miracles of life are my portion!
In Jesus name
Amen!

“Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will live in the land and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it” (PV 2:16-22)

Please study the direction of your relationships. Is your friend taking you higher or lower? “The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray” (PV 12:26). You may not discover the secret of your new ‘friend’ at the first meeting. Pray for wisdom and be patient. Sooner or later you shall know the secret of his heart and the inclination of the way your friendship shall go. The men who followed the strange woman to the end of the road will be spiritually kidnapped and arrested. Her house is a prison and a cemetery, well protected by lions and sharks. Once inside, there is no escape. There is no mercy or hope for her prisoners. Jezebel’s only tenants there are loneliness, fear, depression, tragedy, nightmares and death. Her house is beautiful from outside, but inside, she hosts dinner parties for the leaders of secret cults, crime gangsters and occult champions. Her house is the gangrene of the city and the infected sore of the nations.

Please note this: The stronghold of deception shall be completely destroyed by God. The price for revival includes demolition and destruction of Jezebel’s death chamber. There is no other way for revival to come. Free from the curse of sin and death, the righteous shall shine like the sun. Healed and delivered, the remnant of grace shall forever abide under the canopy of holiness.

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God! I completely reject the evil spirit of Jezebel! I destroy any influence she had over my life in the past! All my friends must pass thru the filter of approval of the Holy Spirit!

I plead the Blood of Jesus over my life, my marriage, the work of my hands and my ministry. Jesus died for me, to set me free from the power, shame and guilt of sin. Therefore I am free, and free indeed!

Revival shall come to Warri, Nigeria! The evil men shall be uprooted from this land! I am not afraid! I am strong and courageous! I shall live in the land! The Light of God will shine in the midst of darkness! To the glory of God!

In Jesus name,

Amen!

“‘Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ (Deut 27:25)

Jezebel was a foreign pagan evil queen married to Ahab, a king of Israel. He wanted to buy a piece of land belonging to Naboth, who lived next to his palace (1Kg 21). Naboth refused to sell it to him. Jezebel intervened to ‘help’ her husband. She manipulated and bribed the officials of the city. They agreed to hire two wicked men to slander Naboth. They stoned him and his sons to death on false charges. This is how Jezebel took his land and gave it to her husband.

The evil spirit of Jezebel is a blood thirsty demon. Do not be deceived! You cannot make any agreement with her that will be of help to you. She is merciless. She is not afraid to attack you or your children and to destroy your property. She hires paid assassins, her wicked agents and she gives bribes to buy men’s consciences. She hates to lose. She uses any means to win a battle. She is ready with bribery, seduction, manipulation, intimidation or witchcraft. The only thing that can defeat her is faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, in His sacrifice on the Cross.

This is the truth: There is a battle raging against your soul, your home and finances. The evil spirit of Jezebel is mad with anger at your progress. She has bribed men, agents of darkness to oppress and to depress you. You may feel tired and frustrated, unable to pray. You may feel afraid, restless and angry. This is an attack against your emotions and mind. Evil men will gain money for attacking you. The bribe has a voice that demands your soul, your freedom.

But we shall not faint or fall! We shall be strong in the strength of the Lord! We pray against the oppression of the powers of darkness! We lift up the standard of the Holy Spirit against the flood of evil! Our cry for breakthrough is heard in heaven! We reject bondage to any evil spirit! In Christ we are free and we shall remain free! The honor of God is at stake! We shall not draw back! We are more than overcomers thru Christ who loves us! We agree with the Word of God that anyone who receives bribes to kill innocent people shall have no peace on earth! Except he repents of his evil, confesses his sins openly with fruit to prove the conversion! We declare that Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our Righteousness, is Lord over Warri, and Nigeria! We decree the fear of the Lord coming as a blanket over this land! None can hide! None can rejoice in evil! None can successfully deceive! For the earth is full of God’s glory as the waters cover the sea!

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

I plead the Blood of Jesus over my life, my marriage, my children, my grandchildren!

I plead the Blood of Jesus over my ministry and the work of my hands!

I destroy the spell of bribes over me and my family!

I destroy every plan of Jezebel to kill steal and destroy my family!

The power of spiritual paid assassins is totally destroyed!

The devil is an eternal loser that can never be redeemed!

I am a soldier in the Lord’s army! Victory is mine!

To the glory of God!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.

Thus you will walk in the ways of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will live in the land and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it” (PV 2:16-22)

ADULTERY KILLS

Wisdom is the skill to apply the Word of God in practical living. This godly wisdom is a shield. It surrounds and protects you from evil people. In particular, it defends you from the adulterous women who are influenced by the evil spirit of Jezebel. Wisdom is your source of deliverance. A wise man will find the way of escape from the snares of sin. This strange woman is a religious unbeliever. She is called strange because her spirit is from the realm of the dead. She is erratic in behavior, unpredictable in her ways. She has a tendency to be wayward and rebellious, to walk in paths of trouble.  She does not obey the Word of God. She professes Christ but has another law in her heart. She sings to ‘Jesus’ but she dances by the beat of another drum. Men who love strange wonderful things are attracted by her luxury and pleasure seeking. Men, who commit adultery with them, who fall prey to these women, will hate their wives, thinking they are too plain. To them, humility becomes boring and holiness, old fashioned. They forget that the strange woman is a messenger of death, taking their souls to hell.

This woman ‘has left the partner of her youth’. She has resigned her duty to true love. By definition Jezebel is a traitor. Pursuing her selfish ambitions, she kills her only true friend. She has forsaken the hope of her only pure love. Her strength is rooted in deception. She is a talkative person. She talks a lot; sweet words. She is a mistress in the unholy art of flattery.  She pours praises on you with the intent to seduce you. Her words are chosen, binding chains around your heart. She quickly becomes needed, a friend trying to help. Each visit, each greeting, each compliment is designed to build a cage around your soul.  Study the direction of her feet. Her house is down in the valley. Going down the hill is so easy. She descends to her comfort zone dragging you along with her. This ‘going down’ may seem like humility but it is the road towards the cemetery. She ‘planted’ colorful, attractive, but artificial flowers along the way. You may smell their sweet, but artificial perfume. This ‘romantic’ background is designed to hide the stench of decomposing corpses at the end of the road.

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

Christ is my righteousness and my wisdom!

I reject any evil spirit of Jezebel, seduction, foolishness, witchcraft and untimely death!

I destroy any covenant made on my behalf with the ‘boa snake-spirit’, ‘Ogbanje’ and ‘Mammy-water’ spirit!

I reject any covenant made with the spirit wife or spirit husband!

My steps are ordered by the Lord!

Led by the Spirit I am going higher, on the mountain of God! I will never go down to the valley of death!

I am not lead by what I see! I walk by faith in the Son of God, led by His Spirit!

I plead the blood of Jesus over myself and family!

It is well with my soul!

To God be all the glory!
In Jesus name

Amen!

“And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” (Gen 22:14)

This is our first prophetic prayer meeting this year. This is our new prophetic season. Last year we harvested. Now we are ready to plant new seeds. God gave me a word for His people: “You shall have an encounter with Jehovah Jireh”. Amen!

We read from Genesis 22, the encounter between Abraham, Isaac and Jehovah Jireh.

Jehovah Jireh is God the Provider. The word Jireh has two meanings: To see visions or to experience prophetic blessings.  The second meaning is to Provide. The word ‘provide’ is defined as this:  to make available, to supply something needed or to be able to afford something. For example, I may be able to buy biscuits. But I am not able to buy a plot of land. This is to see the different levels of revelation of Jehovah Jireh.

God does not change, but we do. We prayed for a clearer revelation of God as Provider. Man can never be called a provider. Man worships God and works the little he can work. Then God provides! He gives what no man can give. I am talking about a life style of miracles, of healing, deliverance and supply that no man can do.

We then shared the story of George Muller.  This is a very good example of a sinner saved by grace, a man of faith, who had an intimate walk with God, Jehovah Jireh. Nothing else can explain his success. We pray that our faith increases too!

GEORGE MULLER

George Muller (1805-1898) was a German man who had a great ministry in England in the 19th century. As a young man he was very reckless. He stole, lied and lived a prodigal life. But the Spirit of God arrested him and miraculously, he became saved. He went to England but could not speak English. He became a pastor there. He married a godly woman of faith just like him. They decided that they will never beg for money or food. They will only pray. God alone knew their needs. The following are some of his quotes:

“I want to move men by prayer alone”

“If you expect great things from God, He shall give you great things”

“Praise God always! I praise Him when He sent 10 cents and when He sent 10 millions”

He built seven orphanages near Bristol. At the beginning his faith was small. It was hard for him to trust God for $5. But as he applied his faith daily, it increased with time. Faith needs exercise to grow. He trusted God for provision for thousands of children. Millions of dollars passed thru his hands. God always provided for all their needs. When God told him to start building the orphanages he had only 50 cents in his pocket. When he finished building them he spent at least $7, 500,000. This amount was then, 200 years ago. Now it is much more. Once he said there was no food at all to give to the children. Calmly, he told them to sit at the tables, to pray and by faith to thank God for the provision. They did. Immediately they heard a noise outside. A truck that was delivering bread to a store broke down just in front of their gate. The driver gave them all the bread. This is just an example of supernatural supply. This is the work of Jehovah Jireh!

At last, in memory of Andre Crouch, another great man of God, we sang his song To God be the glory!

“To God be the glory

To God be the glory

To God be the glory

For the things He has done

With His blood, He has saved me

With His power, He has raised me.

To God be the glory

For the things he has done

Just let me live my life

And let it be pleasing, Lord to Thee

And should I gain any praise,

Let it go to Calvary”

In Christ I declare:

This year I shall have an encounter with God, Jehovah Jireh!

I shall surely testify of His supernatural Provision!

To God be the glory!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions. For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer” (Ezra 8:21-23)

God touched the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to release the people of God from captivity. He allowed them to come back home, so that they can rebuild the Temple of God and the walls of the city. Ezra was among the first to come back to Jerusalem. ‘The hand of his God was with him’ (Ezra 7:9). He gathered a group of Levites, Temple servants and teachers of the Word of God. Their going back to Jerusalem was not a visit, but to settle there. They should carry all their possessions. Their families, their children will follow them too. This is a second ‘Exodus’ in Israel’s troubled history.

The king was very generous and gave them much support. ‘Ashamed’, Ezra did not want to bother him with more requests. He did not ask for ‘police escort’ to protect them along the way. He decided that all should fast and pray that God will reveal the right way to move on. In Hebrew, the word ‘right way’ means a safe journey, a straight road, no complications, no detours, no waste of time. It will be an easy, pleasant and prosperous journey to all. Spiritually, this safe journey means a way of life or a mode of action in general. Trusting and acknowledging God in all things will simplify our lives (PV 3:5, 6).

Ezra fasted to humble himself. The flesh needs to die. Any form of pride, trusting of men or boasting of wealth must die. The primary reason for the fast was to seek God and His right way of moving forward. Ezra knew that in this life there are many ways of doing things. He wanted to know God’s way. That is why he prayed and fasted. Ezra trusted the Word of God to be His guide and protection. He remembered that ‘the hand of our God is upon all who seek Him’ to do them good. The word ‘hand’ means the power, resources, the fellowship and the sense of direction. Because they seek Him, the hand of God will be with them to bless, to strengthen, to protect, to encourage and to direct their steps. Even if they make mistakes, God will over-rule. No enemy can deceive or prevail against them.

The name of God in this passage is ‘Elohim’. It means the Creator of heaven and earth, the Supreme Authority.

This is their testimony: Elohim appreciated their fasting and prayer in the secret place of the Most High God. He answered their prayer. He rewarded them openly. All of them arrived safely in Jerusalem.

In Christ I declare:

I and my family, led by the Holy Spirit, we shall fast and pray!

God will answer our prayer!

We are seeking God and His right way for us ahead!

I, my husband and my children shall fulfill destiny!

God is our Helper, Provider, Doctor, Protector and Friend in our life’s journey!

God Almighty, Elohim, the Creator of heaven and earth is our God!

Our enemies who attack us shall surely fail!

No weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper!

God rebukes the Devourer for our sake!

To the glory of God!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Mt 6:16-18)

Fasting is a spiritual exercise that has great gain. It is one of the greatest Christian disciplines to learn self-control. Simply said, we deny ourselves from food and other pleasure things for the purpose of seeking God. The Holy Spirit helps us to fast and to pray. Fasting is also great weapon in spiritual warfare. We fast especially when things are difficult, when we are under an evil attack.

The Lord attracts our attention to the power of the flesh that can hinder even spiritual things like prayer and fasting. Self wants to be noticed, to be attended to. It desires fame and glory. Religion does not change self. It only adds some superficial beauty that fades with time. Our Lord said that if we desire to be His disciples, His intimate friends, then we must do three things: deny self, take up our cross daily and follow Him (Mt 16:24). More than any other spiritual exercise, it is the Spirit lead fasting and prayer that helps to deny self, to crucify the flesh. Then your spirit can mature, manifesting fruits to the glory of God.

The danger of hypocrisy in religious circles is very high. The word ‘hypocrite’ means to be an actor, to play another character and not yourself. A hypocrite is a liar and a deceiver, a child of the devil. He pretends to be better than he is, to feel high emotions he is not able to feel in reality. The hypocrites look sad when they fast. The word ‘sad’ also means angry, frustrated, depressed and mourning. They give the impression that God’s commandments are burdensome. They indirectly say that the yoke of Jesus is heavy and difficult. They give a false impression of Christ. They break the command to “rejoice always!”. This is the truth: The joy of the Lord is the seal of an ambassador of Christ. He represents Christ who now seats in heaven filled with eternal joy.

The hypocrites ‘disfigure their faces’. In Greek, the word ‘disfigure’ means to hide behind shadows, to vanish away, drawing back towards the darkness, refusing to manifest the truth about himself. Hypocrites are mysterious people. You will not know who they really are. In fasting and prayers they look very religious, but it is just a cover up to impress men with their spirituality. Some are very good in acting the part, they are like professional players. Their intent is to deceive the audience, to attract men (and their money) to them. Any form of flattery coming from men, if accepted, that is their reward. God will not answer their prayers. The applause of men is their salary. The money of men is their wages.

How then shall we fast as children of God? The first thing we remember is that we do it for God. That is why we go into the secret place of the Most High God. We die to men’s opinions and desire only God’s truth. We die to hypocrisy and chose to live an honest life. Our fasting and prayers do not change God. But thru these difficult spiritual exercises, we change ourselves. Pride, selfish ambition, cowardice, doubt, foolishness and others, shall die. We become humble, gentle, bold, wise and faithful. We prove to God that we are serious believers, that we have humbled ourselves ready to receive God’s blessings. We may deceive men but we can never deceive God. He knows all things and sees all things. Please remember this: God is more interested in the motives than in the actions. God looks at the heart. If the Father finds you faithful and true, He will reward you openly. In the presence of men and angels He will say:
“Well done good and faithful servant! Enter the joy of your Lord! Be in charge over cities and nations! Rule them in My name! For My glory alone!”

In Christ I declare:
I fast and pray in the secret place, for God alone!
I reject every form of religious hypocrisy!
I deny self, take up my cross daily and follow Jesus my Lord!
In Jesus name
Amen!

“The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert… She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” (El Roi) for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Gen 16:7, 13)

Here we have a glimpse of the drama in Abraham’s household. It is not a pleasant story to read. Most of the time we ignore its lessons because we think we know ‘who Hagar is’: ‘Is she not the mother of Ishmael, ‘the father’ of the Muslims?’ Biased, we find no beauty in the story. But then we forget that this is the Word of God and our Lord’s glory shines there in all its pages. Let’s read it again…

God promised Abraham that he will have a son. He believed the promise. But he and Sarah, his wife, were ‘well advanced in years’. To have a child at their age was humanly impossible. Frustrated, Sarah devises a strange plan… Let Abraham have a child with her domestic slave, Hagar. Then they will ‘adopt’ that child. This is the strategy of doubt. God may surprise you with the success of a plan not of Him. The arrangement ‘worked’. Hagar became pregnant with Abraham’s child. This should have been wonderful news for all in the house. But trouble came with ‘the blessing’. Immediately, Hagar began ‘to despise her mistress’. She refused to honor, to respect her. Pregnant with the child of promise, or so she thought, she rebels at the idea that she is still a slave to an old, barren, cursed woman. The blessing of God made her proud and foolish. Quickly, Sarah reminds Hagar of her status and mistreats her. Sad story…

Lesson! Sarah’s reaction in hurting Hagar is wrong. We cannot sin and then try ‘to kill’ the consequences of our wrong choices. For example, your fornication may end in an unplanned pregnancy but abortion will not solve the problem. It will only complicate it. There is no ‘short cut’ with God. Al sinful choices should send us to the Cross! We should humble ourselves and repent. Misplaced aggression is always a sign of unrepentant pride.

Hagar runs away with ‘the treasure’ of Abraham. Her name in fact means ‘Flight’. She runs into the desert and gets lost there. That surely means death. Then the Angel of the Lord ‘finds’ her beside a spring that is on the road to Shur. The word Shur means a fugitive, to travel about as a harlot and a merchant.

Lesson! You can never run away from God. He will find you even in the desert of sin!

This is the first time ‘the Angel of the Lord’ appears in the Bible. It is a pre-incarnate appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please observe how He extends grace and mercy to a lost, confused, hopeless woman in deep misery. This scene reminds us of Jesus sitting by another well, asking for a cup of water from another Gentile woman, also ‘a sinner’ (Jn 4).

Lesson! Jesus reveals His deep love to all lost sinners, even to the Gentiles.

You can be Hagar! Appreciate her saving encounter with the Lord. Hagar weeps and prays. God hears her desperate cry and helps her. Hagar’s pregnancy is confirmed by the Lord. She will have a son and his name will be Ishmael, which means: ’The Lord hears’. God is described here as ‘the One who sees’ and ‘the One who hears’ the cry of needy desperate people. He is the merciful God. We may wish that God ignores the prayer of our enemies, but God is God to all His creation. Do not limit God. The sun shines on all, both good and bad. The rain falls on all, both saved and unsaved. This story of Hagar humbles me. I bow at the feet of Jesus who reminds me today of His mercy and grace.

Lesson! Yes, the desert is not too hot for the Angel of the Lord to find you there! Your situation is not too desperate that God cannot help! I wish that you do not waste God’s acts of mercy on only natural desires. I wish that your soul be saved, even as God heals your body from sickness and your heart from slavery sorrow.

Lesson! As I walk with the Lord, I discover that He loves more and He helps more people I could have imagined. Jehovah El Roi is the God who sees you. He sees you right now. Yes, right now! Even before you see Him, He is there with you. Have faith and pray. You lose nothing by crying for help to God Almighty. Your story is not ended yet. Each breath is a sign of hope. Even if men rejected you, pray! God hears! God sees! God answers prayers!

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

Jehovah El Roi is my God!

God sees me! God hears me! God answers my prayers!

Jesus will never leave me and never forsake me!

To His glory alone!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Yet now BE STRONG, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and BE STRONG, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and BE STRONG, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and WORK; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’. ‘Consider now from this day forward… Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you!’” (Haggai 2)

This is the command of God, Jehovah Sabaoth, The Lord of Hosts and the Captain of the armies of heaven: “Be strong and… work!” God does not ask you to do something without giving you the resources to obey. This strength is not the result of your exercising in the gym, eating good food or taking multivitamins. This is the supernatural strength given by the Holy Spirit. This strength is not given that you waste it in works of the flesh. It is given so that you can WORK!

This year you shall do God’s work like never before. You shall not be tired, easily discouraged, lazy or slothful. You shall not sleep too much, eat too much or waste time in unprofitable adventures. You shall not be afraid to start new things. You shall not grumble or gossip. You shall be prayerful, faithful, zealous and wise with your resources.  The Holy Spirit will be there with you to help you each moment. Others will wonder at the great changes in your life.

God will reward you for your service. For God does not owe any man. There is trouble in the world. The exchange rate goes up and down. The markets are not stable. Not so with God! In the Kingdom of God there is no inflation and no loss. The increase of God’s government, authority and peace is limitless. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb 13:8).

Start using the strength of God to serve Him. Any work for God is good. Clean the sanctuary or the toilets. Preach the Word or intercede for others. All these are ministries and God pays His workers. Even if there is no money in your account today, money will come!!! This is the decree of God that from today on, your breakthrough has started and the miracles will overflow. Faith 100%! Doubt 0%! Glory of God!

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God!

I am a servant of God!

I am strong and courageous!

I do the work of God!

I am not afraid! I am not discouraged!

I am blessed! I am healed! I am delivered!

My financial miracle has arrived!

I will testify about my breakthrough!

To the glory of God!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Noah entered the ark, as God had commanded. And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth… And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters multiplied and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth… And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high mountains that were under all the heavens were covered” (Gen 7)

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty” (Mal 3:10, 11)

I am a medical doctor by profession. Please read this letter carefully. It is as good as when I use to give you drug prescriptions in the past. There is great power released from heaven for they who tithe faithfully!!! The promise given is that of supernatural blessings that no devil can stop. This is God’s promise: ‘the floodgates of heaven’ shall be opened to you and the ‘devouring pests’ shall not be able to destroy your harvest.

When God opens His floodgates, the rain will flood the earth as it was during Noah’s time. The flood is a picture of Baptism or Judgment. Some people shall be baptized in the waters but not able to come up again. Like with the Egyptians pursuing the people of God in the Red Sea, they shall enter alive and drown. The water will be their grave.  The waters will lift up the Ark and drown the rest. The waters of judgment will always prevail Even the high mountains shall be covered completely. This symbolizes the great men of the earth, the proud, rebellions, religious, rich or famous but without Christ. They shall receive no mercy when the judgment is revealed.  But the ones inside the Ark, which is a picture of Christ, shall live and rejoice at God’s salvation.

The same judgment is described by our Lord in the parable of the Builders (Mt 7:24-29). The wise man is the one who hears the Word of God and obeys it. He puts it into practice having visible results to testify to his obedience. But the foolish man only listens to the Word of God and stops there. He quickly forgets what he has heard. He refuses to obey the Word. There is no fruit to prove that the Word is alive, working in his life. When the floodgates of judgment are opened and the rain comes down, it will surely destroy the foolish man’s house. The destruction will be sudden and complete. But the wise man, like Noah in the Ark, will not only survive the flood, but become blessed thru it.  His wisdom and faithfulness shall be vindicated publicly.

If you faithfully pay your tithe, you too shall testify to this: You shall be blessed above your expectations! The judgment will come upon your enemies. All who live around you, planning evil against you, these shall perish as an invisible flood sweeps them all away. You or anyone else will not be able to help them at all. It is God’s judgment released by your tithe. The pests shall not be able to destroy your harvest. The fruit will not fall before its time. The tithe releases the blessing that stops the devil from destroying your wealth and health. You shall not be disappointed. You shall rejoice in serving God. Panic attacks, sudden loss of money, sickness, miscarriage or untimely death shall not be your portion.

This is God’s Promise to faithful tithers: “And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a delightful land, saith the Lord of hosts” (Mal 3:12). This is an international blessing!

The word ‘blessed’ means to prosper in a straight and honest way, to move forward from one breakthrough to another. This is totally impossible for the unbelievers who use only crooked means to make their wealth. God’s blessing will be seen upon you.  The curse of being a thief to God will be seen on them. No matter how rich, suddenly all men will hate and despise them.

This is another promise made by the Lord of Hosts, the God who fights and always wins. ‘Your Land shall be delightful’. That means you shall be a landlord. You shall not die a tenant. The word ‘delightful’ means to have great value, to be favored by God. You shall not buy a land that will be barren, swampy of destroyed by earthquakes. It is a land that has a purpose: to build a house that stands as a sign that God is good! Selah!    .

Lastly, there is no need to argue with me. This is not my idea. It is God’s Word. Pay your tithe (the first 10%) from all the financial increase God is granting to you. Do it joyfully with all your heart, having faith that God sees and God rewards. This is the beginning of the year. Start from now on. I have no doubt at all that you shall be blessed and have great testimonies of healing, deliverance and a supernatural prosperity. Teach your children to tithe too, from their pocket money and gifts from others. They shall be blessed too. This is one of the secrets of a holy, long, blessed and happy life on earth!

In Christ I declare:

I am a child of God! I am filled with the Holy Spirit!

I am Baptized in Christ! I died with Christ and I live with Christ!

I live in the power of His resurrection!

Jehovah Sabaoth, The Lord of Hosts, the Captain of the armies of heaven, He is my God!

I pay my tithe joyfully and faithfully!

I am blessed! My family is blessed!

My enemies have been destroyed!

My prosperity is supernatural! My health is divine! My joy is complete!

My testimonies shall increase!

At the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is my Lord!

All to the glory of God!

In Jesus name

Amen!
