WHEN THE POWERFUL BECOME THE LOOSER

Are you a powerful man in prayer and fasting, in your certificate, in your connection, even in your business? But along the line you noticed that you are failing in one way or other. Why? Because you refused to give honour to Him (God) that is due. Jeremiah 9:23-24 (KJV) says "Thou saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these I delight, saith the Lord". When did the mighty normally become the looser: (1.) When there is no divine endorsement: In the book of 1 Samuel 17, Goliah was a mighty man and David was a young boy but power changed hand and mighty became weak, why?, because there is no divine endorsement. Can you recall the man who made Titanic ship 'Thomas Andrews', he made the ship and he was so happy, he used his human wisdom. And they asked him, how saved is this ship? He replied and assured them that "even God Himself cannot sink this ship". That ship went once and never came back. Allow God to journey with you. (2.) When there no divine information: Only God knows the right way, let Him leads you. When there is no divine information the mighty become weak. Proverbs 25:2 says "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honour of kings is to search out a matter". (3.) When there is no mercy: When you are not connected with mercy. You need God's mercy; Romans 9:13-16. When last have you asked for God's mercy? Mercy is more than education, it is more than connection, it is more than beauty, it is more than fasting and prayer, it is more than long-leg. Ecclesiastes 9:11. (4.) When there is no help: When there is no help, the mighty become weak. Imagine those people having the good certificates without work to do because they don't have helper. Ecclesiastes 4:10b says "but woe to him that alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up". You are where you are because there is no help. No wonder you are suffering. In conclusion, Psalms 74:9a says "We see not our signs". What are the signs of Christian, it is victory over their enemies, success, breakthrough, help, progress. It is well with your soul in Jesus name... PRAYER POINT: Every goodness in me that handed me over to the battle, mercy of God bring it out for manifestation in Jesus name.

TOUCH OF GRACE

Truly you are serving God but the touch of grace is not there. You are praying indeed but nothing to show for it because there is no touch of grace. Apostle Paul said I am what I am not because of my beauty, not because of my qualifications, not because of my power, not because I can speak but by the grace of God. Through grace he wrote all the epistles. Grace is what covered your errors and coloured your efforts. What are those things that grace will do when it touches your life (1.) Touch of grace removes judgement: If your life is under family curse or spell, the only way out is touch of grace. Jacob cursed Reuben in Genesis 49:1-4 but when grace touched his life in Deuteronomy 33:6; Moses said "Let Reuben live and not die, nor his people be few". (2.) Touch of grace qualifies you for help: It is grace that qualifies you for mercy. Israelites was favoured before Egyptians when they were about to left Egypt and God told Moses for them to asked for whatsoever they needed and Egyptians granted them their desires. That is the work of touch of grace. Isaiah 50:7. Where human merit fails, God's mercy prevails. (3.) Touch of grace causes you to be prefer more than your mate: Romans 9:13-16 (KJV) says "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy". Grace gives you what you don't deserve. (4.) Touch of grace preserves you: 1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV) says "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall". Likewise the gospel according to St.Matthew 20:16 (KJV) says "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen". (5.) Touch of grace gives all enablements: It enables you, it energizes you to do what you cannot do naturally. You are human, there are lot of things you can't do. Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". It is so difficult for you to pray and fast because there is no touch of grace. Isaiah 40:30-31. (6.) Touch of grace heals your wounded heart: It will cure an injured heart. Psalms 42:5 (KJV) says "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance". There is no sermon that can heal your wounded heart unless the touch of grace. (7.) Touch of grace grants you divine speed: You are walking like a millipede now because there is no touch of grace. Genesis 27:20 says "And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me". Wall cannot stopped Jesus from manifesting his glory, who is he that want to stop you. (8.) Touch of grace releases direction: So many people have been misled because of lack of touch of grace. In Genesis 41, Pharaoh dreamt twice and nobody could interpreted the dreams of the king but there was a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, Joseph , in whom the hand of grace have been touched and God gave him direction to interpreted the dreams. You need the touch of grace for divine direction. Psalms 119:100 says "I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts". (9.) Touch of grace rewrites history: Matthew 21:42 says "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? In conclusion, what to do in order for the grace to touch your life. Hear this and hold unto it, if you want the touch of grace, you need to humble yourself, you are too arrogant, you are full of yourself, even the grace cannot come. Jesus is looking at you afar, some people are father to Jesus, respects been given unto you sometimes are more than what they gave to God. Psalms 138:6 (NAS) says "For though the Lord is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar". Isaiah 42:8 (KJV) says "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images". Return all honours and adorations unto God because He is the owner of all. It is well with your soul in Jesus name... PRAYER POINT: O Lord, sun will never come out half, my glory must not die suddenly.

GIVING YOUR DESTINY A STRENGTH

When we are talking about destiny, destiny is your baby, it is your navigation. There is no one without destiny but the way you nurture it, that it is how you will meet it. Hebrews 11:39 (NIV) says "These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised", Ecclesiastes 10:6-7. If you know you are not coming back to this world second time and you know that there is a purpose for your existence, you will work on your destiny. It is a crime for you not to be ready when your time come. How to give your destiny a strength (1.) Work on your foundation: To give your destiny a strength, you have to work on your foundation (2.) Work on your capacity: You have to improve your strength (3.) Repackaging yourself: Add more knowledge, improve yourself. Work on what people were complaining about you. (4.) Go for spiritual mapping: Go and make research. Go and find out about your family background. (5.) Put yourself under the authority of spiritual leader: You need a mentor, you need somebody to lead you through. (6.) Be faithful to your destiny: Luke 16:12, Samson was not faithful to his destiny. To be faithful to your destiny, three things must put into consideration: (a.) Choose your friends carefully. 1 Corinthians 15:33 (b.) Don't eat the taboo of your glory again (c.) Be faithful to the angels of your destiny. Your mother and your pastor are the angels of your destiny. Take good care of them. (7.) Fire up your destiny: So many people have great destiny than yours but unable to used it. 1 Corinthians 4:20 (KJV) says "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power". It is well with your soul in Jesus name... PRAYER POINT: Angel of the night, use a night dream to connect me with my benefactor.

CHANGING YOUR HEAVEN

You observed that something strange was happening in your life, and you decided to change your location, but still not change. You have changed your church, you have changed your food, you have changed job, you have even changed your pastor, but you refused to change your heaven. If sinner does not change his heaven, he will meet himself in hell fire. What are the reasons you need to change your heaven. Revelation 21:1-4
(1.) Because there is tear
(2.) Because there is death
(3.) Because there is sorrow (4.) Because there is crying (5.) Because there is pain.
You must change your heaven in order to live a better life. Not everybody must change their heaven, it is just for four categories of people:
(1.) Sinner: Sinners must change their heaven. Revelation 20:15 says "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire". If a sinner refuses to change his heaven, he will meet himself in hell fire.
(2.) Backsliders: Jesus said in the book of Luke 9:62 that "No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God". You have tasted Jesus before, but now, you are nowhere to be found.
(3.) Those that are under the closed heaven: Those that their prayers were hindered, those that are in the room of forgetfulness. Whenever you get to and your heaven is close, ask for new heaven.
(4.) Those that are thirsting for next level: It is not the anointing you used to study that you will use to work and likewise, it is not the anointing you used to marry that you will use to live your marital life. It is your heaven that will determine how far you will go in life. It is the mind of God for you to prosper and not to experience bitterness. Matthew 9:16-17. If it is not new, something is wrong. If you are under an old heaven , there will be no positive result. Four ways to change your heaven:
(1.) You need the existence of God: It is the Area-boys you will meet at the junction and it is conductor you will meet at Motor park, you will meet the king in his palace. You need the presence of God in order to progress in life. In the book of 2 Samuel 6:10-12; Obed-Edom saw the ark of the Lord as a privilege in his house and accepted it wholeheartedly and within three months he became great. Wherever there is no Christ, there will be crisis. And you can't separate the two; Christ and his throne. (2.) Possess a legal tender: To change your heaven, you have to possess a legal tender and what is legal tender. It is your faith. Without faith, you can't change your heaven.
(3.) Connect mercy: It is mercy that can change your life. Romans 9:16 says "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion". Your life, beauty, certificate were useless without mercy. Romans 9:13-14, Ecclesiastes 9:11 says "I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance to them all".
(4.) Go and praise God: To praise sometimes may be so difficult but that the secret of new heaven. Acts 16:25. In conclusion, if you are under old heaven, the promises of God will not come to pass concerning your life, therefore, you need to change your heaven. It is well with your soul in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT: Raise him up today, the benefactor that will insist to help me.

YOU HAVE A SEAT AMONG THE STARS

You are wonderfully made, you are not created accidentally but you are created for a purpose. You have a seat among the stars, you have a seat among the mighty one. 1 Corinthians 15:41 say "The sun has one kind of splendour, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendour". Jesus was born in the manger but the wisemen still saw his star. Your background has nothing to do when God is ready to raise you. Isaiah 60:1. Keys to take your position: (1.) The God you know: The God you know will determine how you are going to occupy your seat. It is your source that will determine your size. Promotion comes not from north or from west but from God. (2.) Your place of faith: It is the level of your faith that will determine how you will possess that seat. Act faith, put your faith into action. (3.) Change: You have to change in order to take your seat. You have to change your mentality, you have to change your thought, and you have to change your vision. Your vision is too low, you need to see better. Change your view. (4.) Discover yourself: You must know whom you are. Ecclesiastes 10:15 says "The toil of fools wearies them; they do not Know the way to town". If you fail to discover yourself, you will enslave where you suppose to rule. Your problem is that you failed to sit down and ask yourself "What exactly is my purpose of existence? What is grace been given to me? What exactly is my gift? What exactly is my talent?" discover yourself and your life will never remain the same. (5.) Launch out: In the book of St.Luke 5:4, Jesus said to Peter to "launch out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch". You want to build house, you are sitting down until you gather Two million naira, you can't build the house. If you want to start your own business, start with what you have. Until you launch out, God cannot manifest Himself in your life. Know this, your seat is not at the back, you are among the people in the front. It is well with your soul in Jesus name. PRAYER POINT: Every evil handwriting that prayer cannot change, mercy of Judea change it in my life in Jesus name.

YOUR PROJECT IN GOD'S BUDGET

Bringing your project into God's budget is the way out your project can be finance. Psalms 127:2 (ERV) says "It is vain for you that ye rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of toil: for so he giveth unto his beloved sleep". If you put your project into God's budget, it will so easy for you to finance. Do you know why your project is so difficult for you, because you are doing it alone. You are doing it with your own capacity, knowledge, ability and strength. Your ability is disable without God's back up. Five ways to bring your project into God's budget: (1.) Make sure it is not your own project: Make sure it is not an ambition project. (2.) Apply Faith: Application of faith can do what you see as impossibility. (3.) Summit unto Him (God): The reason why your project is difficult to finance is that you refuse to summit it to your Creator, you keep on holding it. There is no amount of race you can run that you can finish your project unless you summit it unto God. You see your power to be enough, you see your capacity to be enough, you see your connection to be enough but nothing to showed for it. (4.) Trust Him (God): Your submission to God is useless without trust Him. Psalms 20:7, psalms 125:1 says "They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever". (5.) Be sensitive: Insensitive is our problem. John 4:23-24. If you are not in the spirit, you can't see God's moving. Job 9:11 says "Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not". It is everyday you are losing an opportunity because you are too carnal. Be sensitive, don't just be walking in the flesh. In the gospel according to St.Mark 10:46-52; Bartimaeus was sensitive when Jesus was passing by, and cried for mercy and he received his sight. It is well with your soul in Jesus name. PRAYER POINT: Every rivers of wickedness flowing roundabout my destiny, dry off in Jesus name.

WHEN YOUR LIFE IS SIMILAR

Your life is similar with that of some people, combine your life with that of your father and that of your mother, do you observe that the same situation your father experienced then, you are also experiencing it presently. Do you observe that what is happening to gentile is also happen to you likewise, you are in the same category with gentile. Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:22 "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now". We make the same noise, we are singing the same chorus, that was not God's plan for our life. In other word, to convince people about your God, they must see the light and the beauty of God in your life. Equality is a disease because we were not created to be equal. And if it is not new, it can never be in the news. Three possible ways out/what to do when your life is similar: (1.) Live a different life: Your life is not difference that is why your testimony is not difference. Daniel 1:8 says "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself". Daniel decided to live a different life and God backed him up. Until you live your spiritual life differently, you can't have God's back up and without God's back up, to live in this planet world will be a difficult task for you. You suppose not to be slavery where you suppose to be a ruler. Read 1 Peter 2:9. (2.) See what others cannot see: Have you ever discovered whom you are? You are loaded, there are lot of potentials in you, try to discover them. (3.) Ask for God's grace: Where there is absence of God's grace, there will be disgrace. You need the grace of God to excell in life. 2 Cor. 12:9. In conclusion, no matter your situation and your family lineage, as long as God is on His throne, your cases are settled. It is well with your soul in Jesus name. PRAYER POINT: Arrow of frustration get out of my life in Jesus name.

SOUND OF HEAVY RAIN

I don't know the sounds you might have been hearing, it may be the sound of shame, lack, poverty or failure but the sound I'm hearing concerning you is the sound of breakthrough, success, abundance. Zech. 10:1. What are you going to do for you to logon for the heavy rainfall: (1.) Put the house of God in order: 1 Corinthians 6:19 says "Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?" You belongs to God and you must live your life for His glory. (2.) Review your team: You must review those people you associate yourself with. (3.) Possess a dream: This life belongs to those who can dream. What is a dream? A dream is a mental feature of your tomorrow from spiritual realm. Joel 2:28. What is your vision? What is your dream? There is no car leads to anywhere, you must know where you are going. Gen. 37:5, Gen. 37:9, what are you pursuing? Not all those who are praying have vision, many just attending church. (4.) You must be in the spirit: You are too carnal, John 4:24. Only God know how many informations you might have been lost because of your carnality. (5.) Be persistence in prayer: (6.) Have a corrected motive: You are praying indeed but nothing to showed for it, why? because your motive is not corresponding with heaven. You have a negative mind. James 4:2-3 (7.) Stop procrastination: Whatever your hand find do, do it quickly, Eccl. 10:18 (8.) Be obedient: Isaiah 1:19 says "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. Obedience can be in three forms: Prompt obedience, total obedience, and continuous obedience. 1 Sam. 15:26. (9.) Be grateful: If you are not grateful, to be great in life will be difficult. Finally, I can hear a sound, it is a sound of joy, it is a sound of promotion, it is a sound of progress. It is well with your soul. PRAYER POINT: The Lord that raised up Joseph without supporter, raise me up without considering my enemy.

THAT DREAM IS POSSIBLE

I don't know your dream for this year, you might have dreamt to start your own business, you have a dream to have a successful marriage this year. I don't know your dream, you have a dream that you will gain admission to university this year, you have a dream that you will build your own house this year, your dream is real. It is a crime for you not to dream, it is demonic warfare for you not to dream. What is dream? I call it the mental picture of your tomorrow, having your tomorrow from spiritual realm. That dream is possible, I don't know the level of your dream, no matter how small it may be, it can be achievable. Are you a local champion today? You have to dream of becoming an international warrior. What to do for your dream to come to pass: (1.) Possess a dream: See beyond where you are. You must know where you are going, don't just going. (2.) Wake up after your dream: Immediately you dream, wake up to reality, wake up to your Physical life. Bible says the hand of diligence will be make fat. Why are you seating down on your dream alone, and not follow the mind of God. (3.) Go with the Lord: Don't just go but go with the Lord. It is when God accompanies you, that is when your safety is sure. Four reasons why you must go with God: (a.) Opposition is sure. People will criticize, they will stand against you in order to kill your vision. (b.) He will direct you. Because you don't know where you are going, He will give you direction. (c.) He will assist you when you are weak. (d.) He will secure you. (4.) Follow the normal way: If you take a shortcut, you are going to pay for it in the nearest future. (5.) Close your back-door: Song of Sol. 2:15, Job 30:26 says "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness." There is a weakness in you, you are been addicted to women, there is a weakness in you, you can't do without telling lies, fornication, and all forms of lust. Finally, until Joseph overcame fornication, he was unable to entered into his promise land. It is well with your soul!!! PRAYER POINT: Every deaf benefactors, blinded helpers that surrounding my destiny, holy ghost change them in Jesus name.

ENEMY ON YOUR STAGE

There are enemies on your stage. If there is enemy on your stage, labour will be more than promise, if there is enemy on your stage, harvest will be wasted, there will be unfulfilled dreams and that is why we need to observe who are the enemy on the stage. Matthew 13:25 says "And while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way". Let me give you (4) Four possible enemies that can be on your stage. {1.} Flesh: Romans 7:24 says "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death". 1 Corint. 9:27 says "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway". Therefore, you need to subdue the power of flesh in order not to destroy your life. {2.} Lust: Jeremiah 10:2 says "Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the heathen are dismayed at them". Lust can destroy a lot of things, therefore, you have to overcome the power of lust in your life. Read 1 John 2:15-17. {3.} Fear: Job 3:25 says "For the things which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me". Hebrew 10:35 says "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward". Galatians 3:11 make us to understood that the just shall live by faith not by fear. Therefore, you have to overcome the spirit of fear in you. {4.} Stubbornness: 1 Samuel 15:23 says "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hast also rejected thee from being king". King Saul disobeyed the voice of God, and he was rejected as a king over Israel. Your stubbornness can not take you anywhere. Read Isaiah 1:19.

WHEN BITTERNESS IS NO MORE BITTER

Presently, there is bitterness in your heart. That bad news will not kill you because the bible says "they that sow in tears shall reap in joy". Likewise in the book of Genesis 50:20, Joseph said to his brethren "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive". You might have been wounded in your heart in one way or the other, but it is possible for God to let you forget your wounds forever. The book of Jeremiah 17:13 says "O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water". If only you can be at God's side, your victory is sure. What are signs that you will observe when bitterness is no more bitter: (1.) When you are justify. Joseph waited for the Lord and he was justified before Pharao and his bitterness was no more bitter Romans 8:1. (2.) When your sky become a great star. (3.) When your captivities been returned. Isaiah 42:22, there are five things that spiritual robbers can take away from you: (a) Your peace Psalms 116:7 (b) Your joy Psalms 51:12 (c) Your help 1 Thes. 2:18. If all you possess is through your labour, it is the favour of God that is far from you. You are not created to be lonely but created to be supported (d) Your blessings (e) Your relationship. By the time your captivities been returned, your bitterness will no more bitter. (4.) When the word of God come to pass in your life. (5.) When your harvest finally come. What to do in order not to experience bitterness again: (1.) Clear the way of Lord. (2.) Know the secret of God. (3.) Wait for your own time. PRAYER POINT: O Lord, the glory that is in me that make people to stone my destiny, bring it out for manifestation in Jesus name.

GOOD BUT UNLUCKY

Anyone that is living without receiving help, it is mercy of God that is far from such person. Uriah‏ was a soldier in King David’s army mentioned in 2 Samuel 11. He was the husband of Bathsheba, and was murdered by order of David by having the soldiers retreat from him in battle. Uriah's wife was pregnant by King David through an adulterous affair. Although under David's order to return home and see his wife, Uriah repeatedly refused to leave his post or leave the King's presence to see her. Contact between the couple could have hidden the adulterous nature of her pregnancy by David. What a painful experience? Uriah was killed, very good but unlucky, very loyal but unlucky, very skilful but unlucky. You may be loaded and not be needed because you are not lucky. Six things that you can do when you see that you are good but unlucky. (1.) Click unto His grace: 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 says "For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Grace can do what power cannot do, grace can take you to where lucky cannot take you to. (2.) Know and accept the thought of God: Jeremiah 29:11 says For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (3.) Stop that judgment: Stop condemning yourself because you are not created accidentally. (4.) See strength in your circumstances: There is strength in you and your situation. There is nothing you cannot do. (5.) Be patience: In 2 Kings 2, Elisha waited for his own time and he received double portion of Elijah's spirit. (6.) Know the secret: You need God's leading. Ask God to lead you. What are the signs that will let you know that you are good but unlucky. (1.) When you are meeting opposition on your ways. Acts 13:9-10. (2.) When your own right been transferred to other. (3.) When your dream is against your success. (4.) When there is no help for you at all. Anyone been celebrated today were products of help. PRAYER POINT: Every wicked people surrounding my destiny, heaven scatter them in Jesus Name.
