 THE SIGN  This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:12 A sign is a mark that helps you understand and know the code. It helps you to decode It is the mark that helps you to decern "Wrapped in swaddling cloths" Two (2) powerful points to note: 1. Many a time, God's mark is simple and never complex. 2. Signs are wrapped, it will take people with kingdom keys to unwrap it. Access to kingdom mysteries is important for every believer. God reveals Himself to those who have a willingness to believe. One thing that characterizes the religious folks during the time if Jesus was that they were sign crazy. The Lord Jesus said, “A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign” when the Pharisees and Sadducees tempted Him, seeking a sign from Heaven. The truth is they had been given literally every sign in the Book about the birth of the Lord Jesus yet they didn't know. When King Herod wanted to...

FOCUS: RAIN OF ABUNDANCE. SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: 1 King 18:41, Zechariah 10:1, Joel 2:23-24 When Elijah prophesied that there is a sound of abundance, everything didn't look like it physically but His ears in the spirit heard it and He voiced it into physical manifestation by the voice of faith. And today we also have same spirit of faith and same ears of the spirit we hear and proclaim there is a sound of abundance in the atmosphere of 2022 for us. Biblically, “rain” symbolizes • Goodness of God • Blessing • Word of God; and • The Holy Spirit What does abundance of rain mean? It means existing in plentiful supply. It means that scarcity, emptiness, and lack is broken Existing in a realm where resources is larger than the need It is Existing in a realm where the neck of worry for supply is broken The sound of “Abundance of rain” meant the curse is over, blessing is pouring in again!  Hear me just as i hear God, there is a sound of abundance of rain for you,...

  FOCUS: RAIN OF REVIVAL TEXT: Zechariah 10:1, Joel 2:23-24 Let me attempt to define revival in two plains The first plain as to do with God. On this ground I will define revival as God's hand, person and presence been revealed amongst men. It is God visiting men. So revival then is such a display of God’s holiness and power that often human personalities are overshadowed and human programs abandoned. It is God breaking into the consciousness of men in majesty and glory. The second plain has to do with us (you and i) which is the most important. Because we are God's vehicles that drives anything God wants to do in this generation. So whatever our state is will reflect or enable the physical revelation of divine process and manifestations in and around the world. So Revival means to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished. So revival is you coming back to the reality of the life and fire...

  THE RAIN OF POWER TEXT: PSALM 110:3, ACTS 1:8 One of the greatest necessities of a child of God today is to have supernatural power. It is the hallmark of our true sonship in God as the Father. To have dominion in this system, supernatural power is needed. The power of God is one of the most prized possessions any human being can have on the earth; power with God is key to power on earth (Gen. 32:28) Jacob was blessed but was running like a chicken for his brother Esau; he was cheated by Laban (his father in law) and lived his life as a servant. But one night he had a time out with God and that day he stepped into power. God changed his name to Israel and said as a prince as thou power with God and with men. That caused a total revolution in his life. I want you to note the following: 1. Nothing helps you to accurately represent God here on earth like the presence of His power 2. Nothing helps you to spread like the presence of power: "for you shall receive power....

  FOCUS: THE RAIN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. SCRIPTURAL FOCUS : HOSEA 10:12, ISAIAH 45:8 WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS • Righteousness is loving what God loves and hating what God hates (Ps.45:6-7) It is complete alignment with God in all things • Righteousness is taking a stand for right irrespective of who is taking the opposite stand (Ex. 32:26) It is standing for what is right even if it means standing alone • Righteousness is living with a pure, clear and lively conscience (Acts 24:16; 1Tim. 4:2) Always have a conscience that is awake • Righteousness is living by the principles of God rather than the principles or standards of the world (Eccl. 12:13) It is living by the rules of the Kingdom of God and not by the rules of the systems of the earth • Righteousness is living for God instead of living for self (Phil. 1:21) It is making God the centre of your life and not making yourself the centre of your life Righteousness is our spiritual gene. Righteousness is not just a s...

  FOCUS: DIVINE REMEMBRANCE  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Malachi 3:16 ; Esther 6:1-11 FURTHER STUDY: 2Kings 20:3, Gen.8:1-5; 30:22; Exo.2:24; Num.10:9; 1Sam.1:19; Ps.20:1-4; 106:4; Isa.38:3; Jer.15:15; Neh.13:31; Judg.16:28. Ps.104:6; Ps.25:7; Is. 43: 18-19 Nehemiah 5:19, Psalm 106:4. One of the notorious aspects of life is that man can easily dwindle away and forget about you. There are people today who are struggling because men forgot them. There are people who are sitting at the gate instead of ridding on the horse of honour and royalty because someone forgot their acts and good deeds (Esther 6:1-11). Now, there are certain attributes of God that are not only consoling but rewarding. One of which is that God remembers/ He does not forget. Isaiah 49:14-15 KJV says that "But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. [15] Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet ...

FOCUS: HELP  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: 1 SAMUEL 7:9-12 The great king David said in Psalm 121:1-2 KJV that "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [2] My help cometh from the Lord , which made heaven and earth." The truth is that no one becomes anything in life unless that person is being helped. Help is a system of assistance created by God to make life easy. Help is the God creating advantage for you Help is a spiritual leverage system that helps amplify, modify and helps actualize your dream and goals. Help is God strengthening your hand to pursue and actualize what you have never done before For example see what what happened in 1 Kings 18:44-46 KJV "And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot , and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. [45] And it came to pass in the mean while, ...

12 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYER DAY 3 FOCUS: NATIONS SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Deuteronomy 4:6-7 A nation is a defined territory. A nation has its defined political, economical and social system. Scripturally, nations were set on certain lines: Genesis 10:5 KJV says that "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations." Also, Genesis 10:20 KJV says that "These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations." So nations were set up in terms of: 1. Tongues: This refers to language. By extension tradition and culture. This simply can be said that geographically defined territories with people of similar culture and tradition. Culture is a pattern of life of the people. Why God rejected certain nations in Scripture was because of there way of life. Especially those given to idolatry and serial perversion.  Now, cultu...

FOCUS: FAMILY  SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Isaiah 8:18 A family is a group of people connected by blood. Everyone is a part of a biological family tree. It is through a family that we all have the opportunity of existence. In other words, family is God’s ordained land to plant you on earth. Family is vital for God's mandate on earth.  For example when Jesus was to be born, God looked for the family of Joseph the descendant of David to bring His Son into the world. When God wanted to raise a people of covenant, He looked for the family of Abraham and established His covenant with them. I want you to note this: Every family including yours has a prophetic mandate from God. The truth is that the devil knows this and that is why He fights families. But hear me as I hear God, every family challenge and battle is destroyed today in Jesus Name.  Now, I want us to x-ray certain things about families and by extension your family as we command the year 2022. 1. In every family God plants a g...

FOCUS: THANKSGIVING    SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Psalm 92:1 Thanksgiving is an act of appreciation and gratitude. Thanksgiving unto God therefore is the act of celebrating, glorifying, being grateful for what He has done for you and who He has been to you. Every giant in the Bible was known for Thanksgiving. For example Jesus always gives God thanks. At the tomb of Lazarus Jesus said  "thank You Father, because You hear me always." He was thankful for answers to prayers. Again Jesus was handed five loaves of bread and two fishes, He lifted it to the Father and thanked Him, it all multiplied. Thanksgiving is a spiritual force that causes the amplification of God's goodness in our lives Thanksgiving is a product from a grateful heart. If you can think or be retrospective about what the Lord has done in your life you  will always be thankful. Two levels of Thanksgiving  1. Thanking God for what He has done (Luke 17:15-19) 2. Thanking God for what He will yet do: John 6:11 ...

  JOURNEYING INTO YOUR DIVINE SESSION There is a God orchestrated, divinely arranged and determined session for your life and destiny. God is timeless but the effects of His moves is felt in our lives and recorded in our earth realm in times and sessions. One thing you must understand is that God is orderly and does His will only. Many times we are burdened with the anxiety of 'when will it be; how is it going to happen' that our faith in God is threatened or affected. The truth is that if you must get anything tangible from God, it will require patience, hope and total trust in His ways or process. The manifestation of God is born in our time when we stay and stand strong in Him and on His premises. God never reneges on His promises. I particularly like what the Bible said in Joshua 21:43-45 KJV "And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.  [44] And the Lord gave them rest rou...

  YOUR PROCESS AND YOUR PROGRESS Excerpt from the teaching ministry of Dr. Joel Dabbas SCRIPTURE TEXT: Hebrews 12:2-8 KJV I want you to note three (3) powerful truths: 1. Everyone has a path divinely ordained for he or she 2. God takes you through certain process so that He can protect His will and produce a product of glory 3. No one who will be valuable in God's agenda, valuable in time and in eternity that won't pass through certain process Let me define a process for you: My basic simple definition is this: Process is God placing you in His training field to bring you into His agenda. God does not run an agenda-less scheme. The truth is that time and earth will eject anyone who has lived life to its fullest purpose. Nothing defines progress like process. Proverbs 4:18 says that "the path of the righteous is like a shining light, it shines more and more into a perfect day." The meaning of this is simple: I. Your dimension is in process: The sta...

  OPERATING IN GENUINE DOMINION  An excerpt from the teaching ministry of Dr. Joel Dabbas  Text: Genesis 1:28 In Genesis 1:28 God blessed man with the blessing of dominion. To have dominion means to become a force on earth To have dominion is the power over obscurity To have dominion is to be a voice on earth  To have dominion infers that God wants his man to have supremacy  To have dominion is to have influence and control Any believer that have capacity to control is a threat to the enemy. You cannot be in control and be tortured by the devil. I want you to understand the meaning of what God said to man at creation. He said "let them have dominion." The meaning of "let them have..." means that you should own or possess dominion. When you truly possess dominion, you are upgraded into a realm higher than the common or ordinary. In this realm everything that is not in that realm is under your control. This is actually the realm of God: Dominion is the realm of Go...
