Genesis 1:2 (KJV)

…. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

A broody hen sits on its eggs to incubate them until they hatch. During that period, it is very defensive and protective of those eggs. Inside the egg, the yolk develops into a chick ready to hatch in due time.

In a similar manner, when you enter into your prayer room, you enter a period of incubation for your development. That’s why I always say prayer is not for informing God, but it is for your formation. It is a delicate time where you are being formed as you fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and when you have matured, you get that note of victory and hatch out of that predicament you had found yourself in! Don’t be in a rush to come out before He is done dealing with you. Allow Him to brood over your matter.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

As I retreat into my prayer closet, my life is being transformed, and I emerge victorious in every circumstance in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Romans 12:2

Exodus 23:22 (NIRV)

Listen carefully to what He says. Do everything I say. Then I will be an enemy to your enemies. I will fight against those who fight against you.

Last year, in a highly anticipated boxing match, Jake Paul systematically dismantled once undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's legendary reputation. Tyson, who once struck fear into the hearts of opponents as the most intimidating boxer on the planet, was outmanoeuvred. The unanimous decision marked Tyson’s defeat as a bitter epitaph to his earlier bravado. Likewise, any enemy that challenged you will soon face their own day of reckoning.

The biggest mistake your enemy can make is thinking they've gotten away. Because God may delay His vengeance, they assume they've escaped. But God has His own scales of justice. Just as rain pours from full clouds, He will surely rain down judgment on your enemies. God has all the time in the world to set His traps, and He cannot be outmanoeuvred.

God has no enemies; He’s far too great for that! Yet He promises in His Word that your enemies become His enemies. Don’t waste your energy on detractors. God will fight for you, and the outcome will be unanimous: you win!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My enemies are God’s enemies; my adversaries are God’s adversaries, for God is with me. By God, I shall have the last say, and the decision shall be unanimous: I win! Amen.

1 Samuel 2:1

Jeremiah 20:9 (NKJV)

Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.

By God’s grace, our ministry has grown to over 3.2 million members, but it didn’t start at this level. There were struggles, challenges, and moments where faith was all we had. But it was an unshakeable faith—a faith that says, 'I know my God will not fail me!'

Jeremiah knew the pain of feeling let down, even deceived, by God’s promises. Yet he carried a fire that kept him going. When everyone around you mocks or misunderstands you, or when your own family opposes you, it’s the fire of God that sustains you. Even when your parents, siblings, or closest friends seem to turn against you, your faith must remain unmovable.

Unshakeable faith isn’t just about having power to perform miracles; it’s about the power to stay, endure, and hold your ground when everything seems to be falling apart. Keep declaring God’s promises, even despite the circumstances. I release unshakeable faith upon you that will keep you standing strong no matter what comes your way this year!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I decree and declare, I have unshakeable faith. I’ll never be moved or defeated. Storms and oppositions may come, but I’ll remain standing. My faith endures, overcomes, and sees the promises of God fulfilled in my life. Amen.

James 1:2

Hebrews 13:4 (PHILLIPS)

Both honourable marriage and chastity should be respected by all of you. God himself will judge those who traffic in the bodies of others or defile the relationship of marriage…

Marriage often gets a bad rap, with some people referring to it as a "ball and chain," suggesting matrimony is more imprisonment than partnership. However, contrary to this tired stereotype, research actually shows that married men are happier and live longer. Interestingly, the same doesn't always hold true for women. One key might lie in a simple, scientific intervention: the six-second kiss.

A kiss can strengthen the bond between a married couple, conveying feelings that words sometimes cannot express. Kissing has biological implications as well. When a couple kisses, their brains release chemicals such as oxytocin (the "love hormone"), dopamine (associated with pleasure), and serotonin (which affects mood). These chemicals can enhance feelings of attachment and happiness.

While that might sound like relationship folklore, a brief, intentional kiss can potentially transform that perceived "ball and chain" into a genuine connection. So, instead of joking about being "trapped," invest in a meaningful, six-second kiss for your spouse today. It could be the difference between feeling confined and feeling connected.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I decree and declare my marriage is a blessing, not a burden. I honour my spouse, and God’s favour rests upon my marriage. I speak joy, peace, and genuine affection over my marriage in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 7:3

Philippians 3:8 (CEV)

Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ.

I’ve told the story of how God had an appointment with Jesse Duplantis, the Apostle of Joy. It was late at night, around 3 a.m., when God entered Jesse’s room and called out to him, “Jesse, wake up!” Jesse opened his eyes, still half-asleep, and with his characteristic humour, he replied, “God, I’m sleeping. Why didn’t You come at 10?” God responded, “Because you were too busy watching a movie.”

Imagine that! God had planned to visit Jesse earlier in the evening, but the noise and distraction of television delayed his encounter. In this simple yet profound exchange, we’re reminded how easy it is to miss divine moments when our attention is consumed by worldly entertainment. It’s a call to all of us to make room for God and to prioritize His presence over the distractions that vie for our time and focus.

In this Year of the Chainbreaker, be sensitive to God and make room for His presence. Prayer will sensitize you to His promptings and timing. Just as we prioritize important things in life, our commitment to seeking God must take precedence.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I speak spiritual discipline over my life. I decree and declare I will not miss my appointment with God this year, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Colossians 3:2

Proverbs 12:24 (ERV)

[The diligent] will be put in charge of others, but lazy people will have to work like slaves.

The Bible paints a vivid picture of the sneaky enemy called laziness. At first, it might feel good to hit that snooze button or put off your responsibilities, but before you know it, you're caught in a cycle of "a little sleep, a little slumber" that leads to poverty pouncing on you "like a robber."

Laziness leaves one enslaved to debt, frustration, and failure. Dreams and potential wither away, and suddenly, they find themselves trapped in a life they never intended. The message is clear: laziness is a pathway to bondage.

Poverty is allergic to hard work, and by “hard” work, I mean smart work. Hard work often leads to exhaustion without necessarily achieving the best results. On the other hand, smart work involves using the right tools and strategies to accomplish tasks more efficiently and effectively. Smart work emphasizes planning, prioritizing, and leveraging resources, allowing you to achieve more with less effort. Work smart and you will rule this year!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I refuse to die broke! I reject the spirit of laziness and choose to work smart. As I pray, my strategies are of God. By His wisdom, I plan, prioritize, and leverage resources efficiently. Debt is cancelled! Poverty flees from me, and I rise to rule in success and abundance in every endeavour! Amen.

Proverbs 24:33-34

Romans 12:11 (VOICE)

Let your spirit be on fire, bubbling up and boiling over, as you serve the Lord.

Fire is a relentless force that tests everything it touches, revealing the true nature of materials. Metals are forged and strengthened through by fire, but when fire dances upon wood, it transforms into ash, a testament to its vulnerability. Fire not only consumes but also burns away impurities—everything that is false—leaving behind what is pure. You can’t fool fire.

A life without fire makes one susceptible to false teachings and spiritual deception. Among the most vulnerable are lukewarm Christians, those who have the appearance of being faithful but lack spiritual power. Fire gives warmth, but it’s never warm; it is either burning hot or non-existent.

God desires His people to be vessels of fire, not just fair-looking believers without substance. When you’re full of fire, no man can deceive you. Let your spirit be on fire daily. Increase your fire through prayer. Move beyond superficial Christianity to a life full of power and fire, and every deception will be burned to ashes!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I decree and declare that in this Year of the Chainbreaker, I will not be a furnace without fire. As I set my life on fire daily through prayer, everything lie is being purged. My life will burn with the power of God, evident to everyone around me, in the mighty Name of Jesus!

Matthew 24:24

Song of Solomon 6:3 (NCB)

I belong to my Beloved, and my Beloved is mine.

Do you remember your first love? That whirlwind of emotion sweeps you off your feet and transports you to a world where everything feels vibrant and alive. It’s that exhilarating rush of butterflies in your stomach, the heart racing at the slightest touch, and the promise of endless possibilities in every smile. That is the kind of intimacy God longs to have with you. And it’s possible.

Today’s culture has embraced an “inclusive mentality” that often replaces monogamy with promiscuity and perversion. They have abandoned deeper spiritual and emotional connection in favour of superficial one-night stands marked by selfishness rather than the selfless giving of true love.

You can develop a deep, personal relationship with the Creator of the universe. That's what intimacy with God is all about. Start by setting aside dedicated time. Talk to Him openly, sharing your joys, fears, and dreams—and remember to listen. Express your love through worship and obedience. As you do this, you’ll grow closer, experience His presence in new ways, and discover the inexplicable joy of true intimacy with your Creator.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My heart is spoken for. I return to my first Love, pursuing a deep, intimate relationship with God. Today and every day, I dedicate time to spend with the Lord. I belong to God, and He belongs to me. Amen.
