THE POWER OF INTERCESSION


TOPIC: THE POWER OF INTERCESSION
SCRIPTURE: Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant- Genesis 25:21
KEY THOUGHT: Intercession triggers intervention.

Fact is there are issues in our lives that might remain unless there is an intervention. There are things that might never change unless another man speaks on your behalf. When men who have spiritual authority speaks over your life there must be a change.
Isaac a prodigy of Abraham, an heir of the blessing and a carrier of God's irrevoacable generational covenant had barreness in his house. His wife couldn't take in then he went before the Lord to pray and talk to God on her behalf. I am sure he said if barreness attacked my mother, it can't survive in my house. The king James Bible stated that "Isaac entreated of the Lord for his wife for she was barren."  The implication of Rebecca been barren was enormous:
a. It meant that the transgenerational blessings God gave to His father Abraham and unto him was under attack: There are issues trying to negate the promises of God in your life. For instance God said your family will be great and relevant but instead of that you notice the opposite. You don't need to sit there and analyse with the devil why it is like that. You have to get up and pray. Tell that devil, God's promises will never elude me.
b. It meant that generational occurrence of barreness was winning: His mother Sarah was also barren until God intervened at the age of ninety (90) she was able to bear a child. This transgenerational syndrome was hunting his family too just as it did to his parents but Isaac got up to address it in the place of prayer.
c. It meant that they would have to wait unnecessarily for a long time for this miracle: Beloved, do you know that there is a miracle just close by only if you can pray? Some people are waiting unnecessarily for a miracle they can make happen if  only they could go before the Lord and pray.
The word entreat in our anchor Scripture means to give an invite, to violently harass, to disturb continously until there is an answer.
Scripture says that from the days of John the Baptist the Kingdom of  God suffered violence and the violent takes it by force. So Isaac bombarded heaven with prayers until he got what he wanted.
I remember years ago a beloved brother was diagnosed with end stage renal failure. When the news got to us in church we were touched and everyone was perplexed. But we interceded, prayed earnestly and presented his case before the throne of Grace. That week he walked out of the hospital with new kidneys. It was possible because people dropped their issues and carried the pain of another to the Lord.
Job interceeded for his friends and God had mercy upon them (Job 42:8-10).
Isaac prayed for his wife and barreness was arrested and buried. After that prayer God blessed them with Jacob and the generation after him never battled with barreness again. I mean that barrenes was never an issue again because someone dared to pray.
Beloved a husband, wife or friend who can pray to God on your behalf is a blessing. Today be a blessing, get up and interceed unbehalf of your family, your country and many other things you are led to pray for, i am sure you will get unimaginable supernatural intervention in Jesus' Name.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Take time to interceede unbehalf of someone today

PRAYER POINT: Begin to interceede for someone, people, places or your church today in Jesus' Name.

WHY DID JESUS PERFORM MIRACLES?


TOPIC: WHY DID JESUS PERFORM MIRACLES?

SCRIPTURE: This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him - John 2:11

KEY THOUGHT: The move of God births glory.

There are times we wonder why Jesus would do something and not do another even though He has power of all. Beloved God's answers for some of your questions can be an out right No. Many want God to always give them the yes answer.
Mary the mother of Jesus asked the Lord for a miracle. Jesus literally said No and gave an excuse for it. But i believe Jesus gave a second thought and connected to the workings of the Father in the realm of the Spirit. When He got the green light from the throne of grace; Jesus did a miracle.
I share six (6) powerful points with you on why Jesus performed that miracle and i believe it is applicable to you today.

1. To show obedience to His earthly mother: Jesus did it to set a template and an example for us. There are men and women who have lost respect and obedience even for parents because they feel they are anointed. Any level of anointung that makes you arrogant, unaccessible and disobedience is questionable. Many today are arrogantly disobedient and God is not doing much around such because of this. If what you are asked to do will not bring glory to God don't do it but if it will then do it with all humility.

2. He did this miracle to show that He has answers to our requests: He did this to confirm that there is no request however insignificant or impossible it might physically look, God has the answer.

3. To reveal His capacity for provision: Our God can provide for any kind of need. He does not just provide, He gives us the best.

4. To show authority over nature: The power of God came upon ordinary water and initiated a glory reaction and converted it into what the people needed.

5. To show that His ministry was all about helping men: The couples did all possible preparation for the success of their wedding, but despite all their effort a major embarassment struck the celebration. That might look like your story, you have done all you can to ensure life is alright but yet, you are met with curcumstances that is beyond your control. I tell you Jesus can help you. He is a very present help in times of need.

6. To show forth Gods' glory: It baffled me that Jesus did not do miracles to manifest power but to manifest glory. The Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart that this was so because His glory reveals His Kingship. His Kingship cimes with His power and authority. Also it stimulates His worship.
The glory of God is the manifestation of God. It is the revelation of God. So Jesus did that miracle to reveal God unto mankind. To show to man that He is God and there is nothing that is hard for Him.

Finally, God will do nothing in a place His glory won't be sounded. If you are a minister and you want God to manifest because you want to show your credential or to proof a point that will smoother your ego be sure you are the one hindering the manifold manifestation of the glory of God. If man or self is out of the way, God will come in the way and His presence will stimulate the manifestations of Glory.
Today, i pray for you experience miracles in Jesus' Name.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Desire miracles and wait for His instructions.

PRAYER: O Lord i refuse to be an hinderance to the manifestation of Your glory in Jesus' Name.

CONTENTS OF THE THOUGHTS OF GOD


TOPIC: CONTENTS OF THE THOUGHT OF GOD


SCRIPTURE: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end - Jeremiah 29:11


KEY THOUGHTS: Deep thoughts reflects the depth of a person


It has been confirmed that your true person is hidden in your thoughts. If a person is good his thoughts will be good and if a person is bad his thoughts will navigate around thinking evil. It will also follow that deep thoughts are products of deep minds. Shallow minds think shallow things. Deep minds draw out gold and every precious things but shallow minds pull up dust.
From our anchor Scripture it is established that our God thinks. God said that "I know the thoughts that i think..." that means I am in charge of my thoughts, or i control my thoughts. There are many today who don' t understand the kind of thoughts that come to their mind. They have tried to gain control over their thoughts but yet what they don't want to think about keeps jumping in and out. But as for God, He knows His thoughts towards you.
Let me show you three contents of God's thoughts amongst others:


1. Peace: The Hebrew word for peace is shalom which means nothing missing and nothing broken. It means nothing disorganized nor disordered. He wants your life to full of peace.


2. You: It is imperative to note that God is mindful of you. Even the angels noticed and exclaimed in Psalm 8:4 that "What is man that you are mindful and the son of man that thou visitest him?"  You are very important to God so He thinks good of you.


3. Your destiny: God is is very much interested in your destiny. Whenever He thinks of you, He is thinking of how you can fulfill destiny in a grandstyle. He is making a way of taking off hopelessness, helplessness and emptiness out of your life. He wants your life to full of colour and beauty.


WHAT TO DO TODAY: Since God is thinking of your good, you also have to begin to think good about yourself.


PRAYER: O Lord let my life begin to function in the direction of Your thoughts about me in Jesus' Name.

DEVELOPING WORSHIP CULTURE

TOPIC: DEVELOPING WORSHIP CULTURE

SCRIPTURE: Praise the Lord, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Psalm 103:1 | NIV

KEY THOUGHT: Fruitful worship is one filled with God.

In microbiology culture is a specially prepared environment which contains every nourishing for a microorganism to grow on. So worship culture is a spiritually prepared enviromment on which our spirit attitude, and way of  and relationship with God can grow. It contains ingredients that supports the growth of spiritual experience.
How can one develop a worship culture or how can one genearate a tense atmosphere that is totally charged up with the power of God?
1. Learn how to be soaked deep in worship: Worship is an act that is learnt by worshipping. You can learn one or two by studying the lifestyle of people who are addicted to worshipping God; but it is enhanced by doing it yourself. You must set aside times to worship God.
2. Come with revelation: One powerful drive force of worship is revelation. Your level of revelation of God will determine your level of worship. 2 Chron. 7:3 says that  "And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever." When they saw (had revelation) of God they began to worship. Get to know Him more, then He will reveal Himself more to you and the more you will worship Him.
One primary way to know the Lord is through His word. So if you are genuinely soaked in His word that is allowing the word not to just sit as head knowledge but to permeate every sphere of your life, you will be soaked in worship.
3. Learn to spend time: If you truly want to experience that deep realm in worship you cannot be in a hurry to worship God. You must sit there until your mind is conquered, your will penetrated and every part of you experience the invasion of God.
4. Desire it: If you must experience the Lord desire Him. Desire is an  invitation to Him. Desire is hunger and the Lord does not lookaway from thise that are hungry for Him.
5. A lifestyle of holiness: An unholy vessel cannot worship Him in the spirit and truth. God always quenches the thirst of the righteous including the thirst of uncommon encounter and experience when you worship.
Today enjoy God in Jesus name.

WHAT TO DO: Make use of the points mentioned today to enhance your worship.
PRAYER: Lord i waNt to experience the tangibility of your presence today in Jesus' name.

THE KNOCKER


TOPIC: THE KNOCKER

SCRIPTURE: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me - Revelation 3:20

KEY THOUGHT: Godly reminders are necessary to be in alignment with God.

From our anchor Scripture we see Jesus been introduced to us as the Knocker. Knocking involves making a sound so as to create attention and awareness. This is a supernatural sound made in the realm of the spirit to get the attention of our spirit and soul.
In the realm of the spirit there are protocols and order. God is never disorderly in what He does. There is a way God approaches people and there is a way the devil approaches people. Because the devil is a thief, he will always bump into men but not God. Although God created us, He still has to knock and wait to be invited in before He enters into our hearts. He still values your will.
Even though He created the space in your heart for Himself, He still doesn’t force Himself into that space. You are the one to decide if and when He should come in or not.
Today, i share with you five types of knockings you will hear or get from the Lord:
1. The knock of conviction: Jesus through the Holy Spirit knocks at our hearts to reveal the sin and mistakes in us. This comes normally as a correction, a rebuke or persuassion but all coated in His love. This brings us to our kneels and we repent. I remember once i was walking in sin and God used my mom to preach to me; i broke in tears and surrendered all to Jesus. Since that day i keep growing in my walk with my Lord and King. Even today, the Holy Ghist deals with me. There are countless times He has knocked at my door to show me mistakes, to correct me. Most of these moments i cry, repent, hid to these corrections and reallign to follow.
2. The knock of attention: There are times God knocks just to get your attention. This is meant to help you break out of distracrions and give you focus.
3. The knock for correction: God knocks through our conscience 1 John 3:20 says that "For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things." As a child of God He knocks at your heart to correct you. He roughens your spirit with holy judgement and you begin to see that what you did is not godly.
4.  The knock for hunger: Amos 8:11 says that "Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord GOD, "When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the LORD." God is knocking at the spirit of men more than ever creating in them appetite for His word in them.
5. The knocks of reminder: This is almost linked to the former but in this it is a knock to remind you of who you are. I have been here many times that i find myself in places and it looks as if i am blending with the system and the Lord will just knock at my heart to remind me that i am not like them. Also this reminder is the alarm of the spirit that reminds us of commitment unto God. It generally pulls us into fellowship with the Father. You will feel the Holy Spirit knocking at your heart beckoning on you to come and pray, worship, study the Bible, talk to someone about Jesus. This comes as an urge and if not responded to wont stop.
We all at different phases in our walk with the Lord will always get knocks from our Lord to bring us into union and fellowship with Him.
Finally, never be too busy not to respond to the knockings of God on your spirit. Don't postpone, do it now.

WHAT TO DO: Begin to respond to the knocks of the Lord at your spirit today.

PRAYER: O Lord, i begin to respond to You more than ever in Jesus' Name.

KNOWING THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD



TOPIC: KNOWING THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD
SCRIPTURE: And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do - Genesis 18:17
KEY THOUGHT: God longs for a man to reveal His next move and plans to.

There are people who have insight into what God is to do next. Bible says that there were some people called the children of Isaachar they were unique and different from others in that they had understanding of times, they understood what God wants them to do now, their capacity to pick up the minutest details of what is in the heart Divinity is amazing.
How awesome it is to know what God wants you to do next, where to go next, what not to do next and know what God wants to do with you next. It is a realm of uncommon instructions and revelations. A realm of zero ignorance about the things of the Spirit. This is the secret to victory and unusual impact.
Our anchor Sripture reveals that for Abraham God does not hide His intentions from Him. And we can deduce that there are people moving and looking to know or hear from God about the next stage but there are those that God is saying to Himself i cant limit nor keep this information from them. People that God is itching to talk with them, people that God is excited to discuss with them.
What made Abraham become such a person?
1. Abraham was a lover of God: In the natural you always eager to hear from the one you love, you long with a burning despiration to speak with such a person; if you haven' t heard from that person you are restless. That was how Abraham's relationship with God was. It was so intimate that every step of faith was not only because God instructed him but because of the love for God. If you love the Lord wholly, He will be itching to always to talk to you.
2. God can always gets Abrahams attention: There are people that God cannot easily get their attention. For such probably the only time God can get their attentiin is when they are asleep so all they can get is a dream from God. There are people even without worshipping or doing nothing as they sit on the bus, in the train, in the market, transacting a business or doing anything the Lord speaks to them; this is because they are always open to God and can give God attention at anytime.
3. Abraham is a doer of God' s word: God always speaks to obedient people because He is sure that they will respond to it. They do whatever the Lord tells them to do. If you are obedient to God in all things He will always talk to you about His next move.
4. Abraham had hunger for His presence: God always comes to quench the thirst of those who long for Him. Abraham was such a person and so God could talk to Him about His next move.
5. Abraham had heart for others: When God told him how he is bringing destruction upon the wicked nation of sodom and gomorrha, Abraham began to beg and intercede unbehalf of souls. If you have desire for others God will talk to you and engage you in communication about them. If you are selfish He wont talk to you about them.
To take territories and have territorial influence and dominion, you must come to this dimension of knowing what next God wants to do.
It makes you become a trail blazer in any field you find yourself.
There is a next move of heaven for the church, family and your nation it is time to know. Spiritual ignorance is disasterous. It is time to know.
Finally, nothing breaks limits like knowing and walking in God's next move.
From today begin to know what the Lord wants you to do next and what He wants to do next.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Walk with the keys shared today.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, i am tired of this level, open my ears to hear and know what next.

LORD: THAT COVERS THE NAKEDNESS OF MEN


TOPIC: LORD: THAT COVERS THE NAKEDNESS OF MEN
SCRIPTURE:Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them - Genesis 3:21

KEY THIUGHT: With You Lord i can be naked and have no shame, with You Lord i can be open and have no shame.

In Gen. 2:25 Scriptures said that "They were both naked and were not ashamed." This was when man was in a right relationship with God. This means that no one can hide your nakedness like God. It is better to be naked before God, because so long it was before the Lord they were naked there was no shame. Beloved there are secrets about people that is woth God and no man knows but if that secret os with the devil he will ensure to put that person in shame. What am i saying that when you are in God He corrects your mistakes and swallows it up. That is why Scriptures says that when you repent God does not remember your sins any longer, the blood of Jesus blots ot away.
When the devil tricked man into sin, man fell from Gods presence and became naked. That shows that one basic agenda of the devil is to have you naked. To be naked means that you are bare, open and uncovered. It denotes shame and absence of glory. A naked person feels unsafe and uncomfortable.
They tried covering up their nakedness, their shame, with some fig leaves, but when God came "walking in the garden in the cool of the day" they still hid themselves even though they were "clothed." Friend, you might have probably sinned and you have been trying to cover it up by yourself and effort; the truth is that it is yet open.

"But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?' And he said, 'I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.'"

Believers must know this that every temptation to sin is to get is naked before God and man. The devils scheme is to bring believers to a place of shame.
I have seen great men fall, kingdom giants handcurfed by the enemy by one sin or another that have silenced their ministry and killed their assignment. It is heart rending for me as i write this because this works of darkness needs to be broken. There are yet another class who have been taken off the line but can't tell anyone, they are hiding by themselves just like Adam in guilt and pain and pretend to or even think that all is well with them.
I came to tell you today how ever the level of nakedness and shame that the enemy has dragged you into God's mercies is available to cover you. With Him you can be naked and not ashamed, opened and not afraid.
Anytime a man is out of order spiritually the person becomes naked. His love covered man again; He will cover you up again.
It is a call for God's children to rise again look at the devil in the eyes and say enough is enough of you embarassing me with pornography, fornicatiin, adultery, stealing, lying, dishonesty and the likes. Run back to God and tell Him what the issue has been and repent; He will cover you up again. He will wrap you up again in His love. He is very mindful of you again.
I speak to you God will clothe you again. Rise up child of God don't let that sin or mistakes become your story, don't allow that sin to take you away from God. Come before Him and tell Him what happened and repent. Adam had no one to tell what happened except God.
Men may never forgive you for that failure but God will.
I speak to someone reading restoration. That spiritual fire you lost is coming back. That assignment lost to mistakes is coming back.
I decree may God clothe you again, re-equip you and refire you again in Jesus' Name.
I love you
God loves you too

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Run back child of God, retrack back your steps. Come running back, kbeeling before Majesty and repent. Ensure to soilidly stay with this resolve.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, place in me passion for righteousness and holiness in Jesus' Name.
