“TREAT PEOPLE NICELY, YOU DONOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE”

ot until people behave otherwise, you are to treat them as 'God sent' or as 'VIPs'. People are very important. In whatever God will do for Nyou, they are central. God does not work in a vacuum, He works with

and through people. When you pray for God's intervention, He sends people. He neither jump down from the sky to help people nor send angels with wings dressed up in white robes. If God will send angels at all, they will be in the form of men. The person you deride, maltreat, disrespect, insult or take undue advantage of might be the one you will need sometime in the future to save your day. More often than not, money needed, favour desired and certain information that is vital to one's destiny fulfillment are in someone's hands.

Assuming those people have been previously maltreated, what then happens? Hence, do not wonder why valuable connections and helps elude many. In Genesis 18:1-10, Abraham thought he saw three men. He took in the strangers and entertained them, not knowing they were angels that appeared like men. They later delivered the message of his promised son which was fulfilled a year later. I have seen many ladies who eventually ended up marrying the visitor they once showed kindness. Mind you, a stranger today could become husband, helper, or a link between you and

“Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way — now that you have come to your servant.""Very well," they answered, "do as you say”.

your benefactors. Have a receptive attitude towards people, whether known or unknown. The first impression people have of you lingers in their minds.

It does not take more than few minutes to register your impression on people's minds. No one has the second chance to make the first impression. So, take advantage of the first chance you have. However, you must also be careful. To know who and what a person is, takes time. So watch until you have established a solid relationship. Treat people with courtesy; greet, pass good comments, reciprocate kind gestures, apologize if you make any mistake and be willing to help.

Finally, let the words of your mouth and attitude be such that would make people happy. Today, strange help will locate you. Go out and prosper in all you do in Jesus name.

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me grace to witness another new month.Today, send angels in the form of men to help me through life.Spirit of God, lead me to locations where my blessings are waiting for me. Order my steps to my miracles.Oh Lord, give me grace to identify the wrong people I should not relate with, then prompt my heart to recognize the right ones.Give me a major turnaround before the middle of this month.Let everyday of this new month count for me.

TAKE CHARGE OF THIS MONTH SPIRITUALLY. GO ON YOUR KNEELS; PRAY, PROPHESY AND DECREE ON EACH DAY, COMMAND IT TO DELIVER YOUR MIRACLE.

“WHAT YOU MAKE HAPPENFOR OTHERS, GOD WILL MAKE

HAPPEN FOR YOU”

f you want God to make you, try to make others. If you want Him to assist you, learn to assist people. God loves people, so, if you love what God Iloves, He will give you what you want. Service to God is service to

humanity and vice versa. God cannot be seen but people that can be seen require your assistance. The only way to demonstrate that you love Him is to love your fellow being created and loved by Him.

Life is hinged on the fulcrum of that ageless principle of seed and harvest; what you sow is what you reap. God created all; the poor, the rich, the lame, the strong etc. No matter how low you rate yourself, there are still many you are better and higher than. No matter how poor you consider yourself to be, some people are poorer than you do. Around you, there are many people whose cases are worse than yours. Every less-privileged person around you is God's project for you. He wants you to attend to them and care for them also. He wants you to lift them up.

Somebody said, 'I thought I was poor until I saw someone who had no shoe, I thought I had no shoe until I saw someone who had no leg. I thought I did not have a leg, until I saw somebody who was dead'. Life is in phases and men are in sizes. There is an area where you are better advantaged and

such is given to you to make someone better. Those who complain about their needs all the time criticize God in their lives. Instead of complaining, thank Him.

Never close your eyes to the cry of the poor and other less-privileged around you. Help relief somebody's pain and assist a needy person to the best of your ability. Put an indigent student back to school, pay someone's medical bill. Above all, be solution to somebody's confusion.

Learn to make people happy anywhere you are. This can be done by complementary words, giving a smile, by making kind remarks and generosity. God's heart is turned in your direction to bless and lift you when you show kindness to people around you. God Almighty will move in your direction. Today, you are divinely lifted and directed. You will be singled out for God's favour.

Dear heavenly Father, give me a charitable heart. Help me to love people more and also to care for them.Put resources in my hands to help and assist people oh Lord.As I attend to other people's needs, meet my own needs oh Lord. Send helpers to my life.Make me happy in life. Take away pain and sorrow from me forever in Jesus name.

“EXTRA EFFORT PRODUCESEXTRA-ORDINARY RESULTS”

he difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary things is just the 'extra'. If you want more than you are getting, you must do more than Tyou are doing. The reason is, no one gets promoted until one

becomes over-qualified for the present assignment. There is no position you desire that you cannot attain. Please know this, whatever you can vividly imagine, ardently believe and diligently pursue, will inevitably be acquired.

Life is not kind to anyone, you have to give it a fight by facing your assignment squarely, refusing to accept defeat and deciding not to give up on what you believe must be done. Life is like a giant holding on to your things and saying 'I know they belong to you but if you can dare me, come for them'.

I met with some young people who just got admitted into various universities sometimes ago and I said to them that, the battle to be a first class student starts from the first day in school. When you miss lectures for whatever reason, fail to do or submit assignments at the appropriate time, fail to read the recommended books, you have already compromised your distinction dream. Failure is not a sudden disaster neither does success

arrives suddenly; they both take a process. Do what you are doing now better, then you will be a lot better.

What exactly are you doing? Can you define your assignment? Are you doing anything meaningful or worthwhile? To be busy is different from working; for one can be busy doing nothing. Do not be like the barber's chair that turns round and round on a sport but never moves an inch forward. How serious are you with your job?

The amount of time you give to a thing shows how important it is to you. Improve on that thing you are doing if you want to be relevant and distinguished. Those who improve on themselves will be approved. God of heaven and earth will garnish your life with heavenly blessings. You will not know defeat. Have a wonderful Friday.

I banish the thoughts of smallness and failure in my life in Jesus name.Inculcate in me, inquisitive mind so I can fully explore what God has in stock for me.All expectations of the enemy concerning me and my family shall be frustrated.Connect me with people that can challenge and bring the best out of me.Put resources in my hand to be able to buy the truth and necessary information for my spiritual and physical growth.Separate me from mediocre and unhelpful people that may negatively affect my destiny.

SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, MAKE PHONE CALL POSSIBLY OR VISIT THE OFFICE OF THE PERSON FROM WHOM YOU REQUESTED FOR SOMETHING IMPORTANT LONG TIME AGO, THIS IS A GOOD REMINDER.

“IF IT LINGERS, IT IS FORGREATER NEWS”

ave you been waiting for certain things for long? Though, waiting is very painful and long waiting often leads to frustration, that is Hthe reason the Bible says; 'hope delayed wearies the soul', but

we must learn to wait because impatience causes more problems than waiting. What are you passing through and for how long have you been on that thing? Wait a bit more because whenever something big is coming, it often comes slowly.

In God's own agenda, delay is not denial rather; it is for greater glory and manifestation. Abraham and Sarah had a delay before Isaac was born. Hannah also experienced a long delay before Samuel was brought forth. Both Isaac and Samuel are historical pillars and points of reference to generations even till today. In your moment of waiting; try as much as you could to maintain the right attitude. Have a positive mind towards your expectation. Do not become too agitated or start picking quarrels with everybody around you.

Never be envious of others who perhaps have got what you are still believing God for, neither fall into self pity or call a pity party to see how

“For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay”.

life has treated you.

Keep expecting and trying. Many, as a result of delay, have become so disillusioned that they have stopped all efforts at getting it done. Sing song of praise and thanksgiving to God for your anticipated miracles, you will surely take delivery of them. This is your season of joy. Your long awaited miracles shall be delivered. Your moment of waiting shall not be in vain. Have a pleasant Saturday. You are blessed in Jesus name.

Help me oh Lord, to imbibe the attitude of patience.Concerning those things I have been trusting God for, I prophesy today, I shall be removed from the waiting list.In the midst of my trial and waiting moments, may I continually see you more than I see my problems.My period of waiting shall lead to a greater glory, triumph and promotions in Jesus name.Make my moment of waiting and the result an encouragement for others and means of strengthening their faith.Grant me grace to stand in faith, to keep trusting you and never to embark on silly things while going through wilderness.God's grace shall be operational in my life. I shall not give up, no matter the magnitude of challenges before me in Jesus name.

GET GOD COMMITTED TO YOUR OUTSTANDING REQUEST. PLACE A GOOD VOW ON IT IN PRAYERS. THE RESULT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

“WHEN GOD GIVES YOU A THING,HE HAS OTHERS IN MIND”

he most cruel thing anyone can do is to be tight fisted, and the greatest spiritual operation that can be performed here on earth is to give. TWhatever you have must be allowed to flow to others. It is not meant for

you alone in the first instance. One of the reasons the blessings of God is permitted to come to us is that via us, it could flow to others. His method has always been to raise some people, and then use them to raise others.

Lack and suffering manifest as a result of flagrant disobedience to the divine law of giving. Enough materials and resources have been put on earth to ensure that all human beings are well catered for, but unfortunately, some people cornered it and would not let it flow to others. In the world today, especially in this part of the globe, the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.

In some advanced nations of the world, where things are better organized and judiciously managed, the nation's resources are used for the benefit of all without any atom of sentiment or favouritism. For instance, the government uses the process of taxation as a means of wealth redistribution in such a way that the rich are made to pay more so that basic amenities can get to the poor. It is a pity that in our own society, it is a different game entirely. The winner

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”.

takes it all, and the rich live at the expense of the poor. The question is, how much is flowing from you to others? No doubt, everyone has something to offer, no matter how small it is. Money is not the only thing implied, what you have might be strength, space, knowledge, natural gift, acquired skill, influence etc.

Let what you have become a blessing to people around you. Each time you release from what you have to others, God is happy with you. Supernatural increase, unsolicited help and assistance become released towards your direction. Your mind becomes filled with inexplicable joy. Whatever you have lost contrary to purpose will be restored to you in multiples. God's multiplication factor is added to you from today. Happy Sunday.

By your grace and power, I subdue the ungodly nature in me in Jesus name.I will lend to nations and those who are thirsty shall through me be refreshed.Let that mentality dawn on me that I am not blessed for my sake alone.Use me to bless others; lift others, for that is the exact reason am created.Forgive and have mercy on me wherever I have acted contrary to your divine purpose.Because of those around me, direct blessings, money and breakthroughs towards me and I shall do according to your desire in Jesus name.

“NOTHING SUCCEEDS WITHOUT APASSIONATE PURSUIT”

he only way to succeed on your job is to like it because nothing really succeeds except done passionately and passion will be nil Twhere interest is zero. Apart from the fact that no meaningful

achievement will be recorded, those who do what they do not like will always be miserable. It is not possible for anyone to perform creditably well, except one naturally gets excited about it. For instance, asking a student to study a course which he/she has no natural inclination for will bring failure. When you do what you love, there will always be super-creativity and you can never get tired doing it.

New and creative ideas of doing it will rise in you ceaselessly and what to do next will never be a problem. Where does passion come from? The first key of passion for one's job is discovery of natural endowments. This is where most people miss it in life. Your in-born grace otherwise called talent is the track created for you by God on which you must run. The moment one's track is missed, entering into trap becomes inevitable. As a matter of fact, endless struggle is a sign of wrong pursuit.

Locate your gift. You are highly gifted. Gift is one's natural endowment; that which God built into you at creation. They are there, exhume and develop them. Ordinarily, one's career should be built along his/her God-given gifts. Enroll for a course, buy and read books relevant to your calling and locate a mentor on your field of interest.

Finally, do not give up. That a career is your natural gift does not mean breakthrough will come automatically. You must work diligently and tirelessly, day and night to be successful. You will move up and never come down again. From now on, your life takes on a new colouration. Stay blessed.

Remove boredom from my means of livelihood so I can be productive and effective.Restore to me the passion I have lost about my work.From today, my work shall no longer constitute a task rather it shall be full of excitement in Jesus name.Destroy completely whatever is killing my sense of commitment and fulfillment in my day to day assignment.Interrupt me oh Lord and put me on the right track that was divinely carved out for me.I shall not work for another man to eat; I shall eat the fruit of my labour in Jesus name.

SKIP YOUR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH TODAY AND PRAY FERVENTLY ON SOME DIFFICULT ISSUES – GOD WILL INTERVENE.

“IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOURSITUATION, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT”

o not just sit down lamenting your plight, instead, get up and do something that would bring you out of that situation. There is no Dsense at all, in lying down in self pity either, calling for a pity party.

It is within your power to do something about any unpalatable circumstance in which you find yourself. Stop apportioning blames and giving excuses for your failure and predicament. The reason is, if you do, you might not get out of that situation on time. Know that your problem is not those who disappointed, cheated, jilted you etc. One may not have had the opportunity for a greater education but despite that, making it or being successful is still possible. Many who ended up great and distinguished in life did not initially have as much education as you have presently.

Bill Gates, one of the richest men on earth today, once dropped out of school for non-performance. Ben Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon was once adjudged a dullard as a result of his poor performance in class. He never accepted that, so, he worked seriously on himself. Whatever you do not like about yourself can be changed. If you do not like your career, change it. If you do not like your shape, do something

about it; eat less, do exercise and you will trim down.

Also, a student can resolve to work harder to improve on his/her present academic performance.

You can change your location, church and friends if you so desire. Assess your situation objectively; am I doing well, am I on course, am I getting the desired result, is this all I can possibly be, are my dreams being fulfilled etc? Do an honest appraisal of your life for the past two or three years. Are you progressing, retrogressing or stagnant? After a correct and honest assessment, the next thing is the way forward. Seek and do things to regain what you have lost. Meet with people that can be of help and take actions. Move in the direction of your projection and the best in you will emerge. Unction to function is hereby released on you. See you on top.

Enlarge my coast oh Lord, remove tightness and restriction from my life and things.My short comings and mistakes notwithstanding, I shall end up a winner and a champion in Jesus name.I refuse to stay in the pit of life, I am destined for the mountain top. By your supernatural anointing, take me to the top.Let me experience a dramatic turn-around for good, I will return all the glory to you.

“NO ONE IS IMMUNED TO SUFFERING”

here is no one in life that does not suffer at one time or the other. The question is not whether one suffers, but how one overcomes Tat the end is what really matters. Not all sufferings are bad, in fact,

some sufferings cannot be avoided. Concerning Jesus Christ, the scripture made us realize that He was able to learn many things through the situations He went through. Certain lessons of life can never be learnt except in the school of suffering or discipline.

The word 'discipline' is formed from 'disciple'. In divine order, it is discipleship before apostleship. No one becomes a master without first being a servant or an apprentice. Those who want to start high at the top would crash sooner or later. If you jump up, you will come down, but if you climb up, you will stay up. Climbing involves stress, strength and time, that is the reason many would rather dodge it but the truth is one cannot keep on dodging forever, whoever dodges responsibility would end up a liability. Everyone suffers; the rich, poor, young, old, white or black. Suffering comes because of the following reasons:

· Personal mistakes: Every mistake made brings some kind of

losses as well as sufferings. Although, no one is above mistakes, it is only God that is infallible. However, mistakes must be minimized, if not, one will keep suffering the consequences.

· To teach us a lesson: There are things we suffer in order to learn some crucial lessons. Sometimes, certain things are allowed to come our way to point our attention to some specific issues or to equip us for the battles ahead.

· Satanic attacks: There are forces on earth that can meddle with one's destiny if care is not taken. The presence of the powers of darkness cannot be denied but thank God that we are more than conquerors.

You are God's responsibility, you will not fail. Whatever makes you worry is hereby fired in Jesus name. Stay blessed!

Dear heavenly Father, I have suffered and struggled long enough, turn my mourning into joy today.Release my life and things from stress, let the rest of my days be tension free. Turn my pressure into pleasure oh Lord.Whatever mistakes I have made before, let them be turned into miracles.A major miracle is waiting for me today, It will get to me before the day is over in Jesus name.

“TRAINING PRECEEDS REIGNING”

here is need for training if you wish to reign in life because only the trained can reign. By God's own design, He takes anyone He Tintends to use in life through training. He prepares those He uses

and He uses those He has prepared; for preparation preceeds manifestation. Training makes gift or potential marketable. Besides, it activates dormant potential and transforms it to skill.

Adam and Eve fell in the garden because they were not adequately prepared, had no experience; neither did they go through the ranks. Adam was a one-day made man; the day God formed him was the day he grew to become a man, with his whole set of teeth, hair on his head and beard on his chin. The same was true of Eve, his wife. So, when the serpent came in the garden, they floundered. If you are praying to be made overnight, get ready for a sudden fall. Challenges, pains, disappointments, delays and sufferings are training grounds. Future champion must be patient. If you are not yet reigning, it may be that you are still under training. Those who reign in their domain deliberately set themselves for it.

“If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us”.

Locate your own domain, because except there is a domain, it will be difficult to reign. Chart a course for yourself, determine your territory and set a goal. Train yourself properly for your course, for reigning goes with training. Do not embark on a business, career you know nothing about.

Get trained first. Money and time invested to acquire training are not wasted, rather they are wise investment. Finally, launch yourself into your course. Make a move, take a step of faith. Boldly pursue your goals. Your delays are over. No more frustrations for you. Have a glorious Thursday.

I confess I am born to reign, I command all barriers delaying my reigning to disappear now.Holy spirit, give me grace and power to go through the process required for my emergence.Set me apart oh Lord for miracles, signs and wonders, I must not miss my purpose. Order my steps aright in Jesus name.I invite your presence today as I embark on my assignments and projects. Preserve and promote me oh Lord.

“ANYONE CAN SUCCEED,YOU TOO CAN”

o one is created a failure. It will be contrary to God's nature to create failures or set people up for ridicule and shame. God Ncreated man in His image and likeness: therefore, you cannot be

a failure, for God is not and does not create you to be one. When you are sick, psychologically down, disappointed or you probably have a misfortune, never say that is your destiny because your destiny cannot be negative.

People fail and lag behind because of ignorance, disobedience and bad company. According to Hosea 4:6, the scripture says; 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge'. The measure of freedom, profit and progress in life is directly linked with the knowledge one has secured. Ignorance is a deadly disease, which only knowledge can cure. Anyone who knows what God wants, what His word says and chooses to ignore it or do contrary is already on his/her way to destruction.

Be wise in your choice of vocation, that is, your profession, occupation, trade, business etc. You cannot succeed on every trade, for there is a particular one meant for you. Discover your area and stick to it. Be wise

In addition, bad company will wrongly influence you, who you relate with will determine to a large extent what you become in life. Life is what you make of it; your destiny is in your hands. It does not matter who is opposing you, and the number of people that do not like your face, when you are well focused, you put all of them behind.

Today, you will be marked for greatness. The burden in your heart shall be lifted in Jesus name. Have a nice day.

Grant me grace oh Lord to fulfill the great destiny before me, may I never be cut short of your plans for me.Deliver me from the path of death, let the traps set for me and members of my family be dismantled.I am going forward, I am looking forward and I am moving faster, help me oh Lord.Manifest me to the world according to your promise in Jesus name.Ideas rule the world, plant ideas in me that will cause me to be celebrated in life.

“HANDLE LIFE'S AFFAIRS CAREFULLY,IF YOU HOPE TO LIVE LONG”

ife is a journey, a very long one indeed. If you are going on a long journey, you will need to turn aside from time to time to relax, Lrefresh and unwind to be able to continue. If not, fatigue as a result

of exhaustion will set in. That is one major reason for some unexplainable terminal sicknesses and ghastly motor accidents on the high ways.

For instance, whenever the driver overworks himself and refuses to refresh, relax and ease up, he will likely dose off while driving. Life's journey is exactly the same, those who take life too seriously crash so badly, that is the reason I keep telling people that, life is not just about struggles but should also be enjoyed.

God expects us to enjoy ourselves in the journey of life. Though, there are challenges and there will always be but despite that, there are plenty of fun and high moments of fulfillments also. Everything starts from knowing exactly where you are going on time, I mean securing focus in life. A journey with no destination in view will end up in frustration. No voyager takes off without an end in view; even the early explorers came

“So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God”.

You must enjoy life: though not with a negative undertone, like indulging yourself in alcoholism, immorality, or any of such but doing your work very well and living long enough to see and reap great dividends. From now, whatever constitutes a burden in your life and situation will be removed. God's grace that superceeds all understanding will see you through in Jesus name.

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your sustaining grace.Give me strength oh Lord to go through life's journey.Frustrate every attempt of the enemy to truncate my journey to destiny.By your mercy and blood, oh Lord, exempt me from major accidents of life.Just as Elijah was miraculously refreshed by angels, let my spirit, soul and body be spiritually and physically nourished.Separate me from ungodly friends and things that will sap my physical and spiritual energy.Terminate struggles in my life oh Lord and make life's voyage enjoyable.

od does not need what you have lost to bless you. Why then are you crying over spilled milk? There is no one on earth who has Gnever experienced some form of losses, be it major or minor, but

despite that, people have always risen from the ashes of misfortune to the pinnacle of success. You too can! But the problem is; can you let go of the past? Those who cannot forget the past will find it extremely difficult to move fast. Never let your past unpleasant experiences rob you of the new exciting encounters ahead of you. Some people are of the opinion that what they do not have is what they need to take off, but that is not true. Whatever you do not need at the moment is not necessary, for by the time it is needed, God will make it available.

The fact that you have not exhausted those ones God provided is the reason He is not providing new ones. Look inward to discover possibilities beckoning on you to take advantage of them. Whatever opportunities you have missed, chance lost: money, relationship, job, contract, connection or other physical and material things etc, take your mind off them. There is a colourful destiny which is the fullness of life as intended by

“NO ONE REALLY HAS ALL THE TIME TO DO ALL HE/SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO DO”

ow much one values time determines how successful he/she will be in life's endeavours. No one is ever created poor and in my opinion, Hpoverty is directly linked to individual's laxity because poverty or

prosperity is a choice, you can choose to prosper or unconsciously decide to be poor.

Every decision comes with a price; whoever decides to have a breakthrough must see the concept of time management as a very important thing. You will never see a wealthy person who does not know how to manage time neither will you see a poor man who managed time effectively. No one really has all the time to do all he/she would have loved to do. That is the reason management of time is very crucial.

Time is a scarce commodity, but God is good and just; in the sense that He apportioned equal period of time to everyone on earth. He never sends anyone here with pounds sterling, dollar, euro or naira. In addition, no one came here with the keys to cars or mansions, neither was anyone born with certificates or chains of degrees.

We all came naked and empty, whatever you and I are able to achieve is what we gave time to pursue or what we exchanged our time for. There is nothing like

Attach time to each event; apportion time to each item on your daily programme. Plan your day as you plan your budget.

Be disciplined. Whatever time you attach to each event must be strictly adhered to if you really want to make success out of such. Do not be late to an occasion. If someone gives you an appointment for a particular time but refuses to show up minutes after the agreed time, do not waste time, move on. It is well with you. Today, you will encounter strange help. You are blessed.

o many people wonder when God will fulfill His promises in their lives. The truth is; that promise will not be fulfilled until one takes a Sstep of faith in the direction of what one has prayerfully determined

to do. God's favour comes in various ways, and sometimes, He uses people to assist us in different capacities. At another time, He engineers circumstances and situations to make way for us but His promises will not be fulfilled until you start doing what you believe He has led you to do.

The great Red Sea divided before the children of Israel on their way out of Egypt to the promised land but the strategy to cross the sea was not revealed to them until they got to the river bank. That is the reason you cannot remain stagnant and be expecting God's favour. Many have remained redundant, wasting away in life and destiny simply because they are waiting for God's miracle before they act. You do not need to be 100% sure of success before you make moves.

Take a step now. Settle your goals on time. Know what you want to achieve or attain in life. Know the reason you want to start that thing; be

he only way to keep living is to keep moving. No matter your level of success at the moment, if you do not keep moving, someone Telse will outrun you. Success means to keep succeeding: there is

no end to success and attainment in life. Many had wondered even aloud why successful people hardly rest. The reason is; except one keeps working harder, what is celebrated today may become irrelevant tomorrow.

If this is true of the successful people, what can we then say of the strugglers and the younger generations coming, those that are still struggling to make headway. My counsel is; you must not rest on your oars, neither must you stand still nor give up. No matter what you may be passing through, keep moving and keep working. Know that nothing is stagnant; everything in life is in perpetual motion. The sun moves, moon rotates, cloud gathers, wind blows, river flows, earth rotates and in fact, the entire solar system is in constant motion. If everything is moving and you are not, then you will be left behind. Only those who are willing to change can be in charge.

hat you have does not determine who you are or how happy you will be. It is who you are that really determines what you have. What Wwill make one happy is not in the things he/she possesses. I have

seen many couples with little, yet very happy while there are many affluent families that are shattered, battered and scattered. In fact, in many cases, it is almost like, when money and fame come, family gets miserable.

Event or happening in the so-called developed nations is a point of reference. Despite the fact that everything works well and according to plan, many of them are so miserably lonely. As a minister of God, I have travelled around the world and I have never seen more frustrated, dejected, isolated and unhappy people as are in many of the developed nations. This is simply because happiness is not in things. Three basic truths must be realized here:·Setting priorities right: Many have their priorities misplaced. They put the last thing first and the first thing last. Know that when you place the cart before the horse, movement definitely stops and brings about frustration.·The virtue of contentment: If you are not contented with what you have, you are not likely to be happy even after you have got what you

Any life outside of God is bound to be in crisis.

Summarily, to live in perpetual happiness despite what you have or what you do not have; you must set priority right, be contented with what you have and give God a place in your life. Your life will no longer be empty. From the four corners of the world, your life will attract the blessings of God. Your latter days shall greatly increase. This is your season of joy. Stay blessed.

By the supernatural insight secured today from your word, my life is hereby totally delivered from the plague of covetousness.I decree today; the source of my joy shall never run dry in Jesus name.Every plan or scheme of the enemy to scuttle my joy shall not succeed.Endow me today with wisdom to re-order my priorities and put things right.I receive grace now to be organized in Jesus name.Let the atmosphere over me release blessings to my life.

God does not make mistake. If you are not needed, He would not have created you in the first instance or sent you to where you are.

Every human being has limitations and the only way to remove such is raise others and make them become your extension. You can never be a leader except you have people you are leading. Leadership is influence and one cannot enforce it because respect or followership is never demanded but earned.

Your leadership may not be respected unless you recognize potentials in those people around you and then spend your resources to develop them; beginning from your younger brothers and sisters, to your children and subordinates learn to see greatness in people, especially the young ones.

ost people prefer finished products; that is already assembled, packed and delivered for consumption. That is why we have Mremained backward as a people, especially we Africans. We are

consumers rather than producers. Producers are masters of the consumers; they control their taste as well as their pocket because they fix the price.

If all you want in life is the finished product for consumption, then you are already finished. Do not just demands for the product also ask for the process that gives birth to the product. Normally, what God gives is the seed, what you then obtain from the seed depends on what you do with it. The expression you give to your things will create the explosion you desire to see. Come to think of it, you also began as a seed. Your seed was sown into your mother's womb by your father; you germinated and started developing as an embryo.

“YOU ARE NOT SO MUCH DOWN THATYOU CANNOT RISE AGAIN”

re you down spiritually, academically, financially, emotionally, physically etc? Never give up; there is still hope of rising. Whenever Aone is down, normally, he/she hears all kinds of voices; some terrible

suggestions also come to one's mind. For instance, each time you are sick you are more likely to experience nightmares. When you are down financially, you face all sorts of temptation; like cheating, stealing, borrowing etc but the truth is; there is no permanent condition in life. What you need to get out of whatever mess you are in is with you. As long as you are not complacent with your situation, God will surely see you through.

It is possible to get up again. Everyone up today has been down before, if they got up, you too will get up. Never live in self pity or contemplate suicide, and do not start doing foolish things. Some started doing wrong things in their down moments and ended as disasters. Your problem is not that you have problems, your real problem is what you do with the problems, because what you do while in problems determines how long you will stay in that condition and the results that situation will bring when it is over. It is never the best to indulge in smoking, drinking or take to drug just because you are frustrated or disappointed.

“At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail”.

PROPHETIC PRAYERS

DIVINE INSTRUCTION FOR THE DAY

There is no wisdom also in keeping late at nights simply because there is a problem between you and your spouse. Whoever tells you that you cannot get up again has told you a blatant lie. Reject the enemy's lies because once there is life, there is hope, and where there is a will, there must be a way. The lowest a football can go is to hit the ground and once it hits the floor, up it goes again. If you are on the ground of life now, just know that the next thing is to go up.

Redefine your focus. One of the things that brought you down was bad focus or lack of it. Take your time and think deeply on things you once did that you ought not to do and re-trace your steps. Today, all destiny destroyers positioned on your way in destiny are hereby demolished. Disappointment and failure strategy schemed by Satan for you is hereby aborted. It is well.

I refuse to give up despite my present situation because I know my redeemer lives.Right now, I receive grace to bounce back from where challenges of life have kept me.The temptations associated with my present situation shall not overcome me.Oh Lord, by the reason of today's word encounter, let my faith level increase.Oh Lord, restore to my life, the good things that I have lost.The top is my place, I refuse to be down.

JUST NINE DAYS MORE, THIS MONTH WILL BE OVER. COMMAND EACH OF THE NINE DAYS TO DELIVER YOUR MIRACLES.

“UNTIL YOU GET TO THE ROOT OFA PROBLEM, YOU CANNOTGET A LASTING SOLUTION”

roblems have roots. They are like fruits, they do not just exist, something gives birth to them and actually sustains them. It is like Psaying there is no smoke without fire. In most cases, we give

symptomatic or cosmetic treatments to our problems and that is the reason they keep re-occuring.

Proffering a lasting solution to problem takes wisdom, time and patience especially in brokering peace between husbands and wives for instance. Sometimes, one can be on an issue, all day or all night. Until you get the two of them to touch the root of the problem, there may be no head way. This is the reason medical doctors take time to do a thorough investigation or diagnosis before commencing treatment on their patients. This is so because until the root cause of the illness is discovered and attacked, the patient will not stop suffering.

Problems in a man's life can only be solved when the person concerned is willing to dig to the root. The first condition in proffering solution to problem in any given situation is sincerity. Be it marital issue, academic matter, or financial challenge. To arrive at a genuine solution, you must

Work at the solution. There is no problem without a solution, sometimes, the steps to be taken may be painful and demanding but if that is what must be done to make progress, please go ahead and do it. Do not spare the stump. If a tree is merely cut down, the stump will still grow and become a tree again but when it is dugged up and set ablaze, that is the end. Deal ruthlessly with what is giving strength to your problem.

Avoid what you did that led to that problem. God's grace will flood your life. This is your season of lifting. Have a pleasant Thursday.

I command the fountain of my problem to dry up now in Jesus name.Every tree that is not planted by God in my life shall wither today.Open my eyes oh Lord to locate the root of my problems.Those problems vacating my life now shall never come back again.Unravel the source of my problems now and the required steps to take by the light of your word.I shall sing songs of victory over every battle that is before me.All evil agenda against my life today shall fail in Jesus name. No weapon of the enemy fashioned against me shall prosper.Oh Lord, show me the root of the problems in my life.I command all challenges against me to dry up from the root.

“SUCCESS IS GETTING FULFILLED INTHE AREA OF ONE'S ASSIGNMENT”

ne word that has been wrongly misconstrued and misinterpreted by many is 'success'. In our world, we equate it with material Oacquisition like the number of cars one has, type of clothes one

puts on, mansion built, and other glamorous ephemerals. Success is far from all such temporal and perishable things. It is an inner thing; i.e how satisfied and fulfilled one is in life's pursuit.

For example, a school teacher may not have much in terms of material wealth but nurturing and helping his/her students to enviable positions could bring him/her unending joy and fulfillment. This is the kind of joy that good parents experience for all the years of labour of bringing up their children.

To make a positive difference, to leave an impactful touch behind and to see one's dreams realized are what success is all about. It has no bearing with your material wealth or how long you live on earth. The whole essence of life is not in its 'duration' but in its 'donation'. Jesus

1/Christ lived for just 33 years, and He made such an impact that over 2

2000 years after, the entire world is still benefitting from His short but impactful life. Conversely, Methuselah lived for 963 years with nothing at all to show for it. Those who think the more money they have, the happier they will be are making serious mistakes. If that is true, why then are some millionaires committing suicide and their marriages shattered? I have come across many miserable rich people and I have also seen those who do not have much, yet, very fulfilled and happy.

There are people, as soon as they are interred, everything about them ends, and there are some whose works still speak, even after death. The difference is impact. Remember, the lives you never touched cannot talk about you when you are gone. Receive divine enablement to attain your goals. You won't fail in Jesus name. Stay blessed

Holy ghost, tune my mind now to the reality of the true meaning of success.Re-align my focus and steps to the area of my assignment.My achievement in life shall know no bounds in Jesus name.I receive now, God's power to succeed on earth.

hatever setback you might have suffered in life is no reason for you to stay at the back. There is no one that is totally immuned Wto setback. Everyone has his/her fair share of them. Setback

may be in the form of losses; money, relationship with a loved one, loss of chances and opportunities. It could also be as a result of sickness or attack.

It could be occasioned by failures, tragedies, misfortunes or disappointments from a person you least expects could do so. It could be a betrayal from a friend. Your money could have been trapped in one financial company or the other. No matter how setback comes, one thing is sure; it can become a setup for your come back. It all depends on how one handles it. What happens to a person is not the main issue but how it is handled.

Jephthah experienced great setback, his brothers labeled him a bastard and was consequently expelled from the family. He was banished to a strange location. From there, he raised an army, and became so strong and famous. Those who sent him away initially were forced to come back to him for assistance. They entered into an

Joseph had similar experience with his brothers. To convert setback to setup, for a comeback, be positive. Have a positive mind in all you do. Always see your glass as half full and not half empty. Whatever is happening to you is just for now; believe that something good will come out of it. Patiently go through. Patience will help you see some hidden opportunities that the present situation offers.

Act promptly. As God gives you grace and open doors of opportunities to get out or come back, make use of them. Receive grace for a fresh touch of God. Great opportunities will not elude you. You are blessed.

My setbacks shall translate to stepping stones to greatness.Open my eyes to see possibilities around me which I have not yet noticed.All forms of betrayals and conspiracy against me, collapse now like a pack of cards.Give me the Jephthah grace so I can rule over my enemies.

ake full responsibility of all your actions and experiences, learn one or two lessons from previous mistakes for the purpose of Tavoiding the repetition of such in the future. Do not be afraid to

make mistakes, because whoever will make impact must be ready to take risks. Many people have remained stagnant and redundant for years just for the fear of not wanting to make mistakes. Babies who dread falling take a longer time to walk; while their mates are walking and running around, they will still be crawling.

So, do not remain a crawler in life, be ready to walk and move up. He who is not afraid to make mistakes will make history. Please, know that the day your mistakes translate into miracles, people will forget the mistakes and celebrate the miracles. Human memory is very short; that is why I say to people that, whenever they fall, they should not remain fallen but should get up very quickly and shake off the dust. If they do not find you on the floor, they will not regard you as fallen.

The question now is; how can one get rid of the fear of making mistakes and still go ahead to make things happen. Plan to achieve something.

“UNTIL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE,YOU WILL WASTE WHAT YOU HAVE”

od has made you the way He did; so, do not be ashame or feel bad about yourself because He made everyone uniquely Gdifferent. He created the males and the females; some tall and

some short; some big in stature while some are small; some black, while some white. Our temperaments are different, so are our attitudes too. When we talk about gifts and talents, they are as diverse as the number of human beings on earth. Our potentials and capabilities are numerous. God is indeed awesome!

God has a purpose for each of His creatures. In fact, He made you the way you are for the reason He made you. If He had made you to be somebody else you will be out of purpose. No life can be more miserable than the one lived outside of purpose. This is the genesis of most people's problems. Until you know who you are, you will waste what you have. Some people still contend with who God made them; many even try to live like the other person they admire. They are missing out; what they should do is to find out why God made them the way He did and for what He made them. Happiness and fulfillment start the day one realizes this fundamental truth and begins to live that way.

The problem you have is not of your height but of your heart. If you are determined; you will discover that height has nothing to do with achievement. It does not matter your sex, get set to make your mark. It was in the pre-civilization era that people erroneously thought that male children are superior to their female counterparts, but education and everyday experience have taught us that both male and female children are virtually the same except that one has a womb and the other does not.

Today, there are great men as well as great women in all fields of human endeavour. Your complexion is not what matters but your skill. You are not in lack because you are black. If you are knowledgeable, trained, efficient and skillful, you will make it anywhere in the world. This is your day. God's favour will be on you. Help and assistance will locate you on time in Jesus name.

hat people really are, is different from who they sometimes appear to be in the public. They try to create impressions of Wwho they are not. Those who do this are fake and pretenders.

They put on masks in public to show the side of them which they want people to see. For example, to know who a man is; ask his wife and if you want to know who a woman is, ask her husband. Husbands and wives know certain things about each other which no one else knows.

What do you do when no one is around: in the bathroom, bedroom or out of sight etc? whatever you do at these periods is exactly who you are. Although every human being has some weak points. There is no super-human being anywhere in the entire world.

o one can help you live your life. Your parents gave birth to you, took care of you, sent you to school and perhaps got you a job; Nbut then, they cannot help you perform excellently well on your

job. This is so because life is a personal adventure. Children born in the same house, fed with the same food, clothed the same way and sent to the same school always end up doing different things and achieving different results. That confirms that although we live together, each of us grow alone. Two people can be attending the same church and listening to the same message from the same pulpit, yet what comes across to the individual member of the congregation from the sermon will be different, how they utilize the message will be different and of course, the result they demonstrate will be totally different too.

What you need is to discover who you are for discovery preceeds recovery. Learn to turn inward to discover the you that is in you. Every single person is unique, so discover your uniqueness for until you know what is in you, you may die an imitation. The only way to be your best is to be yourself.

Let what is in you come out. Do not imprison yourself by trying to be like
