WAR AGAINST EVIL IMAGINATION

WAR AGAINST EVIL IMAGINATION

(The Teaching Ministry Of Dr Joel Dabbas)

Scripture: Psalm 2:1-5 KJV

One of the greatest tools on earth is the tool of imagination. Evil people and the devil are aware of this, which is why they constantly try to manipulate the thoughts of men. I once read that one way witches operate is by using imagination. They take people's images and think about them, imagining evil upon the person. Over time, they continue to do this until it takes root and can permeate into the person's being. Then, they begin to release spells and send enchantments.

Our anchor Scripture tells us, "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" (Psalm 2:1). Do you know that there are people who laugh with you, talk with you, and even eat with you, but they have evil imaginations about you? There is spiritual surveillance that is always gathering the deepest information from the hearts of men. God sees this imagination and is ready to fight it.

Imagination can be an altar upon which an evil person can summon spirits to come after a person. Imagination fuels action, and evil imagination fuels evil activities. Imagination powers realities: the hearts of evil people ruminate until their thoughts become a reality.

There are two dimensions of evil imaginations:

1. Evil imaginations from the heart of another person

2. Evil imagination that could stem from our own hearts

The content of evil imaginations includes:

1. It is against or anti a person (Psalm 2:2)

2. It has actionable evil steps (Psalm 2:3)

3. It is vain imaginations (Psalm 2:1)

Vain things are not just unimportant things but are imaginations designed to make a person feel empty and insignificant.

To handle evil thoughts against you, follow these steps:

1. Use God's word to counter evil thoughts.

2. Handle it in the place of prayer, decreeing and declaring God's protection and authority over your life.

Prophetic Decrees:

- Every arrow of evil fired at you from evil thoughts, catch fire now in Jesus' name.

- I speak over someone now, anyone in your job place thinking evil about you but smiling with you, may the rage of God come upon them.

- Anyone who is a friend that is full of jealousy and wishes you bad because of the good happening in your life, I command them to be exposed and put to shame.

- Anyone that visits witches, necromancers, time travelers, and their likes with an agenda to hurt you, may they become victims of their own schemes in Jesus' name.

- Someone is jealous of your marriage, jealous of your children, jealous of the blessings God has given you, and is not happy about it, and imagines your life in the opposite direction, may the Lord thunder upon them in Jesus' name.

Prayer Points:

1. Every evil thought that the enemy has used to fight my marriage, my relationships, and my glory, I command the rage of God to destroy it now in Jesus' name.

2. O Lord, anyone in my job place thinking and scheming my downfall, they fall before my eyes in Jesus' name.

3. O Lord, show me mercy. Fight for me in Jesus' name.

4. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. No evil mind sponsored against me that will function again in Jesus' name.

5. Anyone that is imagining death against me, they die in my place in Jesus' name.

6. Every evil altar in the heart and mind if men against me be roasted by God's fire now in Jesus name 

7. Every expectation of the enemy against me, they wait in vain, it won't come to pass in Jesus name 

ENVOYS: TAKING TERRITORIES

TREASURES OF GRACE

(Daily Devotional written by Dr. Joel Dabbas)

ENVOYS: TAKING TERRITORIES

Scripture: Acts 1:8 KJV

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

When Jesus came, His disciples became men who would become envoys to the nations. Envoys are men on special missions, tasked with representing the Kingdom of God and expanding its borders.

Let's dive into history and explore the disciples and the territories each of them took the Gospel to:

1. Peter: Rome, Corinth, and Babylon (1 Peter 5:13) - He played a key role in establishing the church in Rome and wrote letters to the early Christian communities.

2. John: Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) - He ministered in Ephesus and wrote the Book of Revelation.

3. Thomas: India - According to tradition, Thomas traveled to India and established churches

4. Philip: Phoenicia, Greece, and Lydia - He preached to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40) and ministered in various regions.

5. Bartholomew: Armenia and Pontus - He partnered with Philip in ministry.

6. Andrew: Greece, Asia Minor, and Ukraine - He preached to the Scythians and was martyred in Greece.

7. Matthew: Ethiopia - He wrote the Gospel of Matthew and ministered in Ethiopia.

8. James (son of Alphaeus): Syria and Palestine - He became the leader of the Jerusalem church.

9. Simon the Zealot: Egypt and North Africa - He preached to the Jewish communities.

10. Jude: Persia (modern-day Iran) - He wrote the Epistle of Jude.

These disciples, empowered by the Holy Spirit, took the Gospel to the ends of the earth, establishing churches and spreading the message of salvation.

Prayer

Lord, make me an envoy of Your Kingdom, empowering me to take the Gospel to my sphere of influence and beyond.

THE POWER OF COURAGE

TREASURES OF GRACE

(Daily Devotional written by Dr. Joel Dabbas)

THE POWER OF COURAGE

Scripture: Joshua 1:9 KJV

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

I have come to discover that having prophecies, blessings, and Divine backing for any area of your life might guarantee manifestation. However, having dreams and visions of a great life is never enough to make it work. Our anchor Scripture says that one tool you must have in you to get all that God has told you and all that good stuff you have in your heart come through is to be strong and very courageous.

Courage is the power that keeps you going when everything else doesn't make sense. Courage gives you the bulldog tenacity. Courage is having a lion-like heart to pass through the jungles of hopelessness, fear, and attacks. Many potentially great people never arrived because of the lack of courage.

David, for instance, went to battle on his return; the enemy had ransacked him and everything he had. The armies were angry and almost killed him. In that fatigued situation, courage took him before the Lord, and there he got the instruction to pursue, overtake, and recover all.

Courage is not merely boldness; it is to have a heart that is not easily fatigued or drowned by the enemy's assault. Nehemiah was like that; the enemy was attacking him, yet they were building non-stop. If it were some people, they would stop and say it's because the enemy is around.

Finally, you need the spirit of courage today because the enemy is relentless, but courage makes you relentless and audacious. I pray for you; instead of the enemy weakening you, you will be the one to weaken the enemy by your tenacity and courage.

Prayer

O Lord, I refuse to have a weak mind; I receive a heart full of fire and courage in Jesus' name.

UNDER THE CLOUD: Understanding The Mystery Of Atmospheres And How To Build And Sustain The Right Atmosphere

UNDER THE CLOUD: UNDERSTANDING THE MYSTERIES OF ATMOSPHERES, HOW TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE 

(The Teaching Ministry Of Dr Joel Dabbas)

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 (NIV)

"For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. But God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness."

Physically, no matter where you are on earth, you will be under the cloud. Every territory carries its unique cloud.

Similarly, in the realm of the spirit, men are under clouds. The kind of cloud that is over you is important because it determines what rains upon you.

As Ecclesiastes 11:3 KJV says, "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth..." So your rain is determined by the cloud you are under.

There are clouds of blessings, of curses, bad luck, and misfortune. When a person walks under such clouds, it empties what it contains upon that person.

Our anchor Scripture stated that the Children of Israel were under the cloud, and let's see the effects it had over them:

1. Possibilities and Miracles

"...our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea." - 1 Corinthians 10:1-2

Because they were under the cloud, they passed through the Red Sea. The cloud you are under in the spirit determines the possibilities you enjoy.

Obstacles and inhibitions are overcomeable if you are under the cloud of His power and glory.

2. Baptism

"They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea." - 1 Corinthians 10:2

"We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." - Romans 6:4

They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. The word Baptism is from the Word Baptismo, which means to immerse or dip.

It symbolizes purification and identification. So under this spiritual cloud, there was supernatural change that went on.

I particularly like these other meanings of baptism, which are:

- Christening (meaning to give name)

- Rite of passage (access)

- Ordination (to be anointed into an office)

So the right spiritual cloud can give you access and establish you in your ordination.

3. Spiritual Nutrition

"They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ." - 1 Corinthians 10:3-4

Under the cloud, Israel ate spiritual meals and drank from the depth of God.

"Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4

Your spiritual meal determines your spiritual well-being. 

A whole city and nation can come under a demonic cloud, a Church can be under a demonic cloud, a family can be under a demonic cloud, a business and even a destiny can be under an evil cloud.

I remember years ago I came out one day and looked up; the cloud was different, and I perceived that someone prominent in our city would die.

It was the cloud of sorrow and death. I could literally feel the grip of it, and that same day the governor died in a fatal plane crash with many others.

We must have spiritual intelligence to read the spiritual clouds around us per time.

The cloud is the atmosphere we are under.

How to Create the Right Cloud or Atmosphere:

1. The Words You Speak

Words are like vapour. Vapour leaves the earth, goes into the sky, and condenses to form rain clouds and falls on the earth.

So if you continually speak evil and negative words, you impregnate your spiritual clouds with negativity, and it will rain down negative things.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." - Proverbs 18:21

"The tongue has the power of life and death; those who love to talk will reap the consequences." - Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)

2. Divine Direction

"...the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way" - Exodus 13:21

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Israel enjoyed the cloud because they set out to follow God's order to take them to the promised land.

3. The Right Leadership and Cover

"Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain..." - Exodus 24:18

Moses was a leader in alignment with God, and so as he took them, the cloud followed.

Understand this: Moses was always entering the cloud of God's glory and presence, and the cloud spread over the nation of Israel.

What your leader enters in the spirit determines what others experience also.

4. Worship and Praise

Worship and praise can create an atmosphere conducive to God's presence.

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name." - Psalm 100:4

5. Forgiveness and Reconciliation

Unforgiveness can block the flow of God's blessings.

"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” - Mark 11:25

6. Spiritual Disciplines

Engaging in spiritual disciplines like fasting, prayer, and meditation can invite God's presence.

"...and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." - Matthew 6:18

PRAY FOR ME

PRAY FOR ME

(The Teaching Ministry Of Dr. Joel Dabbas)

Scripture: Luke 22:31-32 KJV

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

One of the things we enjoy as saints of God is the ministry of a praying eternal priest. There is an eternal, endless intercession by our Lord Jesus for us. Paul, by revelation, said concerning us and Christ Jesus in Romans 8:34 KJV, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Prayer is the major spiritual engagement in this kingdom. That is why the enemy does everything within his capacity to fight the prayer fire of kingdom men.

There is a rise of certain Christians today with a theology that is anti-praying. But from our anchor text, we see that Jesus is given to praying. One striking thing about our anchor Scripture is also that He prayed for Peter without him knowing. There was a spiritual surveillance that picked the devil's plot on Peter, and Jesus prayed for him. I believe the risen Lord's constant praying ministry is what keeps us standing strong despite the enemy's onslaught.

There are things we can't pick in the spirit; bit Jesus sees all and knows all (Hebrews 4:13). He "nibs it in the board." There are countless battles fought for you on the lips of Jesus that crashed the enemy's system before it was even set up against your life.

Now, why does Jesus pray for us?

I. We are His heartbeat

We are at the center of His heart. His love for us is ageless and endless. Prayer is the love language of the Spirit (Romans 8:26-27). So, because He loves you, He prays for you.

II. To preserve His investment in our lives

The most expensive transaction in time and eternity is the payment for our everlasting redemption by His blood (1 Peter 1:18-19). He can't invest so much in you and not want to preserve you by covering you in prayer.

III. To keep us in alignment 

1 John 2:1: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." Misalignment is the reason for chaflike believers. If the enemy can get a person out alignment especially by the tools of sin and unbelieve that person becomes spiritually weightless and can be blown around by the wind of the devil.

IV. For our safety and security 

Hebrews 7:25: "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

V. So that we will not be victims of the enemy's attack

Jesus told Peter that the enemy wanted to "sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you" (Luke 22:31-32). The devil's agenda is to waste anyone with a kingdom destiny. Peter was to become the man who would become the rock upon which the church is built. Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, and three thousand souls were saved (Acts 2:41). Peter brought Tabitha back to life (Acts 9:36-43) and took the Gospel into the Gentile world when he went to meet with Cornelius (Acts 10:1-48).

A man with such heavy-duty kingdom destiny was being plotted against by the enemy, and Christ Jesus prayed for him. I trust the Lord even now that any assault on your kingdom destiny is arrested and squashed. Someone reading this blog right now is meant to be a prophet, an Apostle, a teacher, and so much more, but the enemy has attacked that destiny in you; I call it back now. That divine seed that is under siege comes to life.

VI. To preserve His purpose and plans for our lives

God wants to preserve His plans and purpose for our lives, so He intercedes for you (Jeremiah 29:11). Our lives are not our own; we are bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

Our Response

There is a rhythmical response that happens when our hearts are in sync with the Lord. There is a surge of prayer fire when our Lord is praying for you. Have you ever felt a press in your spirit man to enter into the place of prayer, and you didn't and couldn't place a finger on why you went into the place of prayer?

Do you find certain spiritual connections that just well up, just like that? Do you ever receive instructions on destiny-related matters, especially after praying? It is the heart of God pulling you to Himself and making you stay on course despite everything.

Finally, you feel like praying when all hell is loosed upon you. When Jesus was approaching the time to fulfill His destiny, He prayed (Matthew 26:39). Now, if you feel that prayer push at very defining destiny moments, it is a nudging to partner with our praying priest.

And in such horrible times, you will find strength to overcome. You would come out of such situations with faith unscathed and unshaken. Your faith will be so strong that the devil would wonder why this person hasn't given up (1 Peter 5:8-9).

Today, I encourage you to partner with Jesus, our praying priest. Let there be a rhythmical connection between our Lord and our hearts.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer. Jesus' intercession for you is a game-changer.

Action Steps:

1. Cultivate a deeper prayer life, partnering with Jesus.

2. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where Jesus is interceding for you.

3. Trust in Jesus' prayer for you, especially in challenging times.

DISSOLVING MYSTERIES IN YOUR LIFE

 

DISSOLVING MYSTERIES IN YOUR LIFE

(From the Teaching Ministry of Dr Joel Dabbas)

SCRIPTURE: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:1-3 KJV

You need to understand that there are two order of mystery in life:
First, God who fashioned your existence is a God who is also mysterious.
Secondly, there are mysterious systems of control that also want to interject your life so as to gain right over your existence and do with you as they wish. This is what I call dark or ungodly mysteries.
The difference between God's mysterious works and that of the devil in your life is that, the mystery of God does not lead to misery in the life of a person. Also, the mystery of God is full of His awesome goodness, splendor, glory and wisdom. We might not be able to comprehend it but we will always appreciate it. But that of the enemy causes pain and redundancy in the life of an individual.

There are people whose lives, destiny, calling and greatness is shrouded in mysteries. They cannot pin point what is wrong with them. Everything seems dark around. This is a pointer to the fact that there are dark mysteries around.

A life shrouded in mystery will always experience strange events. What should ordinarily be normal with people is not for such a person. For instance the route to little or great achievements is often like a journey in the desert for them. What takes others fourty days to accomplish theirs takes forty years.

A life shrouded in mysteries also can be characterized with delays. Everything is usually delayed. When it comes to education there is delay, marriage there is delay. Job there is delay, opportunities there is always delay. They strain and wait before the littlest of things happen for them.

A life shrouded in mysteries is also full of pain. And the person cannot understand why things are like this. Every relationship ends in heartbreak, marriage ending in divorce for no reason, every pregnancy ends in miscarriage, every exam ends with missing scripts or incomplete tabulation of scores and so on.

A life shrouded in mysteries is characterized by perennial and persistent cycle of disfavour, disappointment and shame

A life shrouded in mysteries is one who is acting in consonance with the script other than the script that was written by God for them.

A life enveloped in mysteries is a life that is a hard nut to crack. Too tough to explain or understand.

Some years ago I met a young man, who does odd jobs to gather money to pay his school fees and after he pays his school fees, he becomes mentally unstable. He would regain mental stability when the school is in mid semester or one week to end of semester exams. This continued until I ministered to him by the Spirit of God. The demon screamed out and said it was his step mother who doesn’t want him to be in school,  she was jealous that although his mum wasn't alive he was able to forge ahead with his studies whilst her own children aren't doing well academically. That mystery around the events of his life was unraveled that day and that demon of madness was returned to the one who sent it.

Beloved, life is very spiritual and there are unseen controls that could step into lives, destinies, families and so on to cause a distortion of order. But hear me child of God any hand behind mysterious events in your life is arrested today.

I have also seen people who will keep money in certain places in their room that only them knows and it would mysteriously disappear. Until the mystery was revealed the enemy had positioned to waste that person's finances perpetually.

How to handle and dissolve mysteries in your life:

1. Identify by observation

There are many people who don't pay attention to the things happening around their lives. They are very casual and loquacious about life and the events around them. If you can't notice you won't be stimulated to address the situation.

There was this brother that observed that in his family people don't die natural deaths. It is always either that someone shoots them or from one sort of harm or another. They always die from hurt. He began to ask questions and make enquiries and discovered that there was a curse laid upon their lineage that no one will die a normal death.


2. The power of revelation and insight

It takes light to dismiss the darkness around. Mysteries are often forged in darkness,  maintained in darkness and worked from darkness. That is why only light can accurately make bare what is wrong.
Most persistent infirmity and situations are enforced by mysteries.

In Luke 13:10-16 KJV we see Jesus unravel the mystery behind a woman's situation:
"And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
[11] And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself .
[12] And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him , and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
[13] And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
[14] And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
[15] The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
[16] And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"

In the eyes of everyone this woman is just having a medical condition but Jesus said there is a demon behind the scene making sure she remained like that. At that revelation and insight that devil left her after 18 years. Beloved, if there is. O insight or revelation the devil can sit on a person's life destiny for years and won't let go.
Revelation and insight helps you to see what is actually responsible and how to deal with it and come out in victory.

3. The revelation by the Word of God (John 1:1;5)

Word insight is a tool to dissolve mysteries. You can't receive your word from His word and not dissolve mysteries in your life.

Jeremiah 23:29 KJV says that
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord ; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" The word of God hammers and blasts off every tough or hard mystery around your life. That is why you must be rooted in a solid Word based church and listen to your word aligned servant of God as you also spend time with God's Word.

4. By Wisdom

Proverbs 1:5-6 KJV says that
"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

[6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings." Wisdom helps you to dissolve dark puzzles of your life easily

5. By the prophetic Word

The earth was covered by darkness but when God began to release fireful words the earth was restored (Genesis1). See, don't confess the situation and reality. But reject and release Spirit inspired words.  Prophetic words chokes out the works of darkness from your life.

We often see this in our meetings where we speak to lives to be loosed and we receive testimonies of such deliverance. This happened because prophetic words are fiery swords that goes out to make war against the devil that won't allow you to have rest.


6. Prayer of inquiry 

Matthew 17:21 KJV
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." While at it pray by asking God to show you or tell you what is wrong. The prayer of inquiry is that prayer that enables you to return with specific answers or instructions to help handle the situation. 

7. Faith

Mark 9:23 KJV
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.


Prayer Points

• Every dark mystery surrounding my life, destiny, and family catch fire now in Jesus Name

• Lord, rearrange and reorganize every area of my life that the enemy has tampered with or wasted in Jesus Name

• O wind of God bring back all my wasted years to me this year i. Jesus Name

• I must begin to testify of new beginnings from now onwards in Jesus Name 

TREASURES OF GRACE: EMPOWERMENT FOR MANIFESTATION

 TREASURES OF GRACE

(DAILY DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY DR JOEL DABBAS)

EMPOWERMENT FOR MANIFESTATION

SCRIPTURE: "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

[22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Luke 3:21-22 KJV

There is a strong link between empowerment and manifestation. If you desire to manifest in any area of your life, you must hunger for empowerment.

Empowerment is to be enabled or equipped to do something or carry out a task.

Empowerment can also mean to be equipped with power. In physics power is defined as the ability to do work. Spiritually also power is supernatural enduement to do work and generate effect or impact.

While manifestation simple means to produce proofs, results or evidence.

The law of manifestation states that manifestation is directly proportional to empowerment. That means the degree to which you are empowered equals the degree of your manifestation in life, ministry, calling, business, job, academics, family and even destiny. If you must generate powerful impact and great results in any area of life, you must first be empowered.

Why It is Necessary To Be empowered For Manifestation

1. Empowerment is necessary so that the devil and his cohorts won't make a mess of you


"[13] Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
[14] And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
[15] And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
[16] And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded." Acts 19:13-16 KJV

The sons of Sceva were children of a priest but have no stature and data with Jesus that could stand the demons. They desired to do what Paul was doing without knowing the measure of empowerment Paul had received to show such manifestation.
Do not envy the results of another without studying and doing what brought such a person to that dimension.
Do dare what another is doing effortlessly without acquiring the same power that helps such a one to function with ease.
If you must produce proofs you must get to the training place of equipping and empowerment.

2. Empowerment is necessary to birth Divine purpose.

Empowernment fires out your potentials for the fulfilment of destiny. To be powerless is to live like a destitute and to exist as if you were created by mistake.

Jesus was empowered and that fired all the manifestations that was recorded in Scripture about Him.

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38 KJV).

It takes the imputation of power for manifestation to occur.

3. Empowerment is necessary to overcome resistance.

It takes the Power of God to overcome obstacles and uproot mountains. It takes power to push off resistance from our lives.

4. Empowerment is necessary to make progress.

Power is the sponsor of progress; it defeats stagnation and provokes change.

KEYS TO EMPOWERMENT

A. Be Overwhelmed By The Holy Ghost

The Holy Spirit is the custodian of power and so access to Him and deep intimacy with Him will give you power to manifest

B. Prayer

While the Holy Spirit rested upon Jesus He was praying. It is not possible for a person to be prayerful and be powerless. The altar of prayer is the altar of empowerment and manifestation.

C. The Word of God

The Word of God carries the rays of power. You can't connect with the word of God and not imbibe power into you.

Ecclesiastes 8:4 "Where the word of a king is, there is power"

PRAYER POINTS

1- My Father, my Father, show forth Your glory, might, and power in my life, my family, and Your church this year in the Name of Jesus. Acts 1:8

2- My Father, my Father, I make demands for the release of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. Help me to know the hope you have called me to and your inheritance reserved for me this year in the Name of Jesus. Ephesians 1:17-18

3- My Father, my Father, I make demands for the manifestation of the Spirit of excellence in all I do this year in Jesus' name. Daniel 5:14
