Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

In medical practice, a midwife guides and supports a woman through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Similarly, the Scripture reveals the necessity of having a “midwife” who helps bring forth your destiny. When God wants to use you, He surrounds you with people who strengthen and support His plan for your life.

As members of the Body of Christ, none of us is designed to function independently. You need others who will strengthen your hands in God and you, in turn, are called to strengthen others. Surround yourself with individuals who serve as destiny midwives, helping to deliver what God has placed within you. God provides such people; your responsibility is to recognise them, and allow them to fulfil their purpose in your life.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for the people You place in my life to strengthen and guide me. Help me to recognise destiny helpers and also be a source of strength to others.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
In this Year of Strange Oil, God surrounds me with people who advance His plan for my life. I walk in favour, and God brings destiny midwives to me in every season!

SITUATIONS STAND STILL

Joshua 10:13 (KJV)
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Joshua commanding the sun to stand still remains one of the most debated miracles in Scripture. Some believe it’s poetic language describing prolonged daylight, while others take it literally. However you choose to interpret it, one truth is undeniable: an Old Testament man performed one of the greatest miracles in human history.

As a Christian, you carry authority far greater than Joshua’s. If he could command the sun and moon to stand still, then your situation must also respond to your words. Christ didn’t give you eternal life alone, He gave you eternal power to shape your world. Tell every negative circumstance in your life to stand still!

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, help me to exercise the authority You have placed within me. Teach me to speak with faith so every negative situation aligns with Your will.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
Just as Joshua stopped the sun, every situation I face must comply with my words. I possess power that shapes my world. My situation is standing still at my command!
