John 14:16 (KJV)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.

Do you fully grasp how amazing this scripture is? Let me show you. Look at the word ‘comforter’, which is used to describe the Holy Spirit. It is the Greek word ‘parakletos’, it means an intercessor, a consoler, an assistant, an advocate. Just imagine that in you right now resides this powerful being who among other things is your assistant! This is good news brothers and sisters.

The Holy Spirit came to help you live the best Christian life. There’s no reason for you to fail in anything in life after you’ve received the Holy Spirit. You have no right to fail because the Holy Spirit is your helper! He’ll help and teach you to pray, and He’ll teach you the Word! He’ll show you how to be free from debt and live in surplus, He can help you get a job, He’ll energize and give you the ability to succeed in business and family life. His ability will become your ability, and His strength will become your strength.

Recognize Him daily as your divine assistant and know that He came to make you a success in life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Today I give the Holy Spirit the pre-eminence in my life. I shall be amazed at the magnitude of God’s glory that’ll be manifest in me. Excellence, dignity and honour; and His ability, strength and wisdom will be evident in my life from now in Jesus Name!

Romans 8:26

Daniel 6:4 (KJV)

Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

God looks for faithful men and women to carry out His purpose and work here on earth. The Bible gives an example of Daniel as one who was faithful to God in a most remarkable and inspiring way. He was perfectly faithful and devoted to the Lord; the Scripture says there was neither any error nor fault found in him. He was neither corrupt nor negligent. He was faithful in all his dealings. Can you say that about yourself?

As a Christian, your primary allegiance, dedication, commitment and loyalty is first to God and His Word before anything else. Persecution may come at you from all angles, but you must remain steadfast and undaunted in your service and allegiance to the Lord. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because he chose to be faithful to God, and God shut the mouths of the lions - faithfulness produces protection!

Faithful people are chosen for important responsibilities, therefore, choose to be a faithful steward in God’s house. In using your gifts and abilities, finances and material blessings - choose to be faithful! It breaks chains!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I declare my absolute trust and allegiance to God today. I choose to faithfully serve Him with my life no matter the challenges ahead in Jesus Name! Amen.

1 Corinthians 4:2; Colossians 1:2

James 1:25 (KJV)

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The Word of God is His mirror. The Bible says anyone who hears the Word and doesn’t act accordingly is like a man who sees himself in a mirror, turns around and forgets what he looks like (James 1:23-24). In other words, God expects you to hear His Word and do what it says. Question is, how does one do the Word?

You do the Word by seeing yourself the way God sees you to be in His Word and then act accordingly. For instance, in the Word, the mirror of God, He says, you’re healed, that is God’s image and reflection of you. See that image of yourself in perfect health and endorse it. Act like it’s true; for it’s true. If the Word mirror says prosperity is yours, endorse that Word and act it out by faith. Quit speaking broke language. Keep looking into the mirror of God; keep studying and listening to the Word. As you do, you’ll become more and more like the glory you see in the Word.

This is the mirror principle of the Word.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

From today, God’s mirror is what I will look at every day and not circumstances around me. I endorse and act out what the mirror of the Word says about me. Thank you, Lord, for your Word! Amen.

GOD’S INVITATION

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)

The Lord is not… not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

The worst bondage a person can experience is being lost without salvation. Sin holds people captive, blinding them to the truth and keeping them bound for destruction. Yet, God’s greatest desire is for you to be free, to be part of His family, and to be with Him forever. The Bible declares, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8). This means that everything needed to make you right with God has already been done. All that remains is for you to believe it!

Do not let anything keep you from making the most important decision of your life. Refuse to stay bound! The door to salvation is open, and Jesus Himself is calling you. Pray this prayer with faith:

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

O Lord God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ. I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. I believe He died for me, and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today and that He wants me to be with Him in Heaven. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!​

Isaiah 60:3 (NKJV)

The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Diligence is more than hard work; it is intelligent, consistent effort with a focus on excellence. It is the quality that separates those who struggle in obscurity from those who rise to prominence. The Word says that kings, great and influential people, will come to your rising. But for that to happen, you must first rise! Your elevation is the magnet that draws greatness. The lazy, the inconsistent, and the excuse-makers remain in the shadows, but the diligent stand in the spotlight of opportunity.

This is your year to rise! Refuse to be held down by chains of fear, slothfulness, doubt or excuses. Elevate your skills, sharpen your expertise, and build your business with excellence. If training is required, invest in it. If new strategies are needed, implement them. Whatever it takes for you to rise, RISE! Your next level is waiting for you, and with it comes divine connections, favour, and access to kings!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I decree and declare that I rise above every limitation! Kings are drawn to the brightness of my rising. I operate in divine wisdom, diligence, and excellence, and my business flourishes beyond measure! In the Name of Jesus, clients gravitate towards my business, seeking the sanctuary of my expertise, insight and goods! Amen.

Proverbs 22:29

Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The verse for today is among the most recognisable passages of scripture in the whole of Christendom yet many are yet to fully realise all that is encapsulated within it. It shows us that one of Faiths primary functions is to reshape your reality! The Word framed comes from the Greek, karatizō meaning to complete or repair, to restore and perfect something into its proper condition! As Christians through Faith, you have the power to remodel your life by the power the Word of God contains!

There is a condition in which every child of God is meant to live, when you are living a life contrary to what God has planned for those who follow Him, begin to frame your world to your liking! Refuse to consider your current circumstances, you have been given the unquestionable authority to adjust everything around you today. You’re your own life’s architect, start remodelling your life to your liking!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The same faith used to form the universe is in my possession. With this ability to reshape my world, I prophesy a drastic change in anything that is not aligned to God’s perfect will for my life in Jesus Name! Amen.

Hebrews 11:1

2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV)

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

The title of today’s reading may come as a shock to you, as many Christians around the world can recall many a-time they gave expecting a financial windfall in return yet received “nothing.” However, that is not the case! Your giving will always produce a result just as the Word of God promises. The problem we find in the church today is people often associate blessings only with financial rewards as a result of their sowing and giving!

Whilst you can receive such blessings due to your giving, how do you know that when layoffs came to your workplace your name was not supposed to be among those who were discharged, or that your health was not supposed to be targeted by the diseases that plagued your country or city? The bible tells us in Proverbs 21:18 that the wicked shall become ransom for the righteous, meaning, by way of your giving, if there was something sent to destroy the righteous, God will give the life of the wicked in your place! Today, learn to recognise the many avenues in which God can choose to reward your giving!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a cheerful Giver! I know when I give to God, I can always expect a result not only financially, but in every aspect of my life, whether it be health, peace or elsewhere! Amen.

Proverbs 21:18

2 Corinthians 5:20 (NLT)

So, we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

Are you aware that as a child of God, not only do you carry His Spirit on the inside of you, but you carry the atmosphere of Heaven wherever you go? This means, in whichever vocation you specialise in or the educational field you study, you are not operating by the same rules as everybody else, but a system not of this world, the system of Heaven! One of the most detrimental mistakes you can make is viewing yourself with the lens the world looks at you in rather than what God deems you to be!

If you are conscious of your role as a representative of His atmosphere, an ambassador of Christ, you ought to walk with a sense of dignity. There is a decorum that comes with the job. Head held high; shoulders squared complete with a spring in your step, you speak for God! No profanity touches the lips of a Heavenly delegate, anger is not in the equation, immorality is unheard of, instead, a life of integrity and purity. The moment you accepted God into your life, you were separated from this earthly realm and set apart to Him. You are Heaven’s delegate, the Word of God in motion, walk with dignity as you go about your day today.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am God’s representative. When people see me walk, they see Christ walking; everything about me reflects Him! I carry divinity, so I walk with dignity in Jesus Name!
