2024: Year of PEACE and PROSPERITY

Welcome to 2024, our Year of PEACE and PROSPERITY! The anchor Scripture is Psalm 122:7, “Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.”

So many prophecies have been released for the year. We are grateful to GOD for speaking to us through His prophets. A number of times, the thought of not releasing a Ministry Note to reveal these things, came to my heart. However, the more I stayed praying, the intense need to show you these things swept through my heart.

This year, GOD is concentrating on His Church! And because we are in a season of judgement, the church of GOD on the earth will have a first and major share of the LORD’S cleansing process this year and beyond. I was privileged to be in a Prayer Camp somewhere in the North and a Word of Knowledge came, “the LORD has released an angel to fight for the church in Nigeria, but the angel does not know where to start because the angel cannot differentiate between what is happening in the church and what is happening outside the church.” This year, the church of GOD will experience a shaking. Many pastors and church leaders and congregants who refuse to turn away from their evil ways will face His anger.

However, it is for good! Jer. 33:8-9 says, “And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.” The judgement in 2024 is to purge His Church and to usher in Peace and Prosperity.

This same year, both collectively as the True Church of Jesus and as individual believers, our places of abode and lives will experience the peace of GOD that is unexplainable. This peace will be beyond mental comprehension because things will get worse for the people of the world. We will also enjoy the rich abundance of provisions and financial lavish. People, groups, tribes, organizations and nations who align with the demands of the LORD will enjoy the lavish of Peace and Prosperity.

What Must We Do to Enjoy His Peace and Prosperity?

Psalm 122:6-7, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.”

  • Attend to Jerusalem; give your attention to her!
  • Pray for Jerusalem; be committed to her spiritual development, don’t abandoned her. Pray for peace to reign in Jerusalem.
  • Be affectionate and passionate about her, and you will prosper.
  • If you want peace amidst the troubles of this end time, stay within the walls of Jerusalem!
  • If you want prosperity in these perilous times, stay in love and commitment to the palaces of Jerusalem!

What is Jerusalem?

Jerusalem signifies the Church of GOD on the earth;

Jerusalem means the place of worship or Kingdom service that GOD has appointed you to stay, not the one you choose and decide to go;

Jerusalem is the geographical location where the LORD has instructed you to stay. That is your Jerusalem.

As the world groans and grumbles in pain, economic hardships, famine and strange attacks, we will experience peace – within and without. We will not be moved by a shortage because we dine directly from the Kitchen of Heaven. We will not lack anything good because the LORD is our Shepherd. Hallelujah!

In order to experience the Peace and Prosperity ordained for 2024;

  • Pray for your Jerusalem

Instead of joining the children of satan, to create contents that mock the church because of the present shaking; pray for the Church of GOD. Pray for your Jerusalem. The shaking is for Kingdom good. Pray for your pastors and mentors. Pray for believers and for your Christian communities.

  • Love your Jerusalem

Be passionately attached to the place where GOD has planted you to stay and serve Him. Be affectionate towards her. Carry her in your heart. Invest in her. Give to her. Protect her and watch over her. Get jealous about your Jerusalem.

As GOD is pouring out His all to prepare His Bride for the second coming of Christ, focus your attention on seeing to the victory of the Body of Christ. Soak yourself in doing all that GOD has instructed you to do. Then, the LORD will surround you with His Peace and Prosperity.

God bless you. Arise!

Common Distractions of the devil in Ministry and Vision

A distraction is an agenda, project or course that looks similar to what GOD gave you. It will generate some results and even get the applauds of men, but runs without the Approval of Heaven, and will lead to hell.

Some weeks ago, the LORD told me to release a Word #championsmeal and it became necessary I develop this article to help bring understanding and explain some common ways the enemy is distracting many people.

“Recently, the Spirit of GOD told me that distraction is one of the effective tools of the devil now. A distraction is an agenda, project or course that looks similar to what GOD gave you. It will generate some results and even get the applauds of men, but runs without the Approval of Heaven, and will lead to hell. Many are running on distractions today, especially in Ministry. This thing you are doing, is it the Exact and Specific Agenda of GOD for your life?”

Below, are common distractions;

  • Complete Distraction: This is a situation where a person goes out totally of what God has ordained for him or her to do. This will mean investing and exerting efforts, time, connections and so on, into something completely contrary to GOD’S ordination. When you take Divine Investments in your life and channel them for the use of the world, and refuse to repent, it can lead to death.
  • Conscious Distraction: This is a situation where a person consciously does what GOD has not called him or her to do. The person is actively labouring on an assignment that is contrary to GOD’S agenda, without being manipulated. In this case, the person has become an enemy.
  • Subtly Distraction: This is when a person is labouring in an assignment similar to what GOD has assigned, but not GOD’S Specific assignment. Every man’s calling comes with details. There is vision, there are strategies, geographical location, target people, etc. When a person is trying to run a GOD ordained vision but with strategies that are unapproved by GOD, that person is distracted. The devil loves to use this one because it is subtly but still a waster of destiny.
  • Territorial Distraction: Instead of going to the place you are sent, if you decide to go where you feel things will work for you; you are running an errand of distraction. In this category, a person may take some of GOD’S instructions, but head for a self-chosen location. While for some, they don’t even do what God wants. Jonah was an example, he went to Tarshish instead of Nineveh. This is very rampant in Ministry today.
  • Monetary Distraction: This is when a person looses focus because of the chase for money and financial/other gains. In this case, money determines what the person does and where the person goes. If money is not involved, they will not do ministry, the person is a slave to mammon and the belly. He or she is no longer out to please GOD. This case is also very rampant in Ministry today.
  • Distractions by Association: These are distractions that come by keeping the wrong company both in Ministry and in life. You cannot move with vultures and produce the proofs of eagles. You are not called to follow everybody. Even if the man is genuine, you may not be called to follow him. Locate your Spiritual family tree, and those going where GOD has sent you, and travel with them. If you travel with the wrong man, you may do well but will never arrive at GOD’S destination.
  • Distractions by Imitation: These are distractions that come by trying to replicate proofs of someone who you have no business following. There is no room for copying in Ministry and in vision. Yes, it is possible to have GOD lead you to replicate what works somewhere, but this must be by His approval. The question is, “is this what God is calling me to do?” If it is, then learn the details for producing and replicating those proofs. If not, look away. Most imitations are born out of unhealthy attitude of comparism and competition.

How Do You Overcome Distractions?

  1. Don’t just get the Vision, get and understand the Details for running the vision. Hab. 2:1-2.
  2. Watch Yourself always, to ensure you are on track with what GOD has called you to do specifically. 2Cor. 13:5.
  3. Constantly remind yourself of your Core Assignments and stick to them. 1Thes. 4:11, Phil. 2:5.
  4. Appreciate GOD for the results you have without comparing yourself with anyone. Ps. 68:19.
  5. Pray first and Get GOD’S approval before embarking on any assignment. Ps. 19:14.

Pray for yourself, “Lord, help me to stay on track for you always. Deliver me from all forms of distractions in Jesus Name. Amen!” God bless you richly. Arise!

June 2023: DEMANDS OF THIS SEASON

Kingdom Greetings to believers and everyone across the nations. No doubt, God has been good to His people and to the human race as a whole. It is evident that God is with us and is helping us in the Progressive Fulfilment of His plans.

June 2023 is our Month of “MY TIME TO RISE” 2 Chron. 23:1-3. Indeed, it is a New Dawn for everyone connected to Jesus Christ, for the LORD shall bring to pass every promise He has made to you. Men and women of reputation and reckon will Rise from far and near to Help You and to Enforce GOD’S Agenda for your life in Jesus name.

While is it necessary to rejoice in the LORD for a New Dawn; it is more important to understand the demands of this New Season. Romans 13:11 says, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”

It is very important to know the times and seasons we are in. Furthermore, you need to understand that it is High Time for you to Awake and Rise Up to the demands and requirements of this season, so that you can experience the delivery of your Covenant Blessings.

It is not enough to just know that God will do something new for his people. You must also know what to do in order to partake of what is coming. Prophecies do not fulfill themselves. Until you apply yourself to Covenant Requirements, Prophecies remain hanging in the spirit realm, it takes Acts of Faith to provoke Prophecies into Fulfilment. So, every time GOD is sounding an Alarm of a New Dawn and season, He is also drawing our attention to the need to make Quality Decisions in line with His promises.

It is High Time to Wake Up and Make Quality Decisions in line with God’s Agenda. Some of the decisions you need to make include;

  • REDEDICATE your Life to God

Stop sleeping in sin and immortal chase. Even if your name is “Christian”, Heaven does not know you except you remain in Christ Jesus. Some of you are in Church but far from Christ. Until you are planted in Jesus, your identity is lost in Heaven. Jesus is coming back soon, it is time to Wake up from the sleep and slumber of immorality and secret sins.

If you have never given your life to Jesus, or if you need to rededicate your life to Him, confess this Prayer genuinely form your heart. Say, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Have mercy on me and wash away all my sin. I accept you into my heart as my Lord and Saviour. From now, I am born again. I receive Championship over sin, satan and the world. Thank you Jesus. Amen!”

  • RECOMMIT yourself to your First Love for GOD

Some of you have withdrawn your commitment to dedicated Kingdom service. The same job and promotion God gave you has now become the excuse for not serving Him. You used to go for street and bus evangelism, but now, “you cannot see yourself come down to that level.”

Rev 2:4-5 says, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

Everyone who has thrown away his or her first love is at the risk of loosing his life (candlestick); because that person is already loosing fire. What is the use of a fire-less candle?

Recommit your life to Kingdom Service, don’t allow anything disconnect you from serving GOD, do not allow a break in your fervency. Get back to your first love Now!

  • RETURN to the Place of Nourishment

Many Christians have abandoned their spiritual lineage and have suffered many defeats. With all the nasty things your biological father did to you and your mother, did you change him? How come you think that you can change your Spiritual lineage? You don’t choose who your father in the LORD is, you discover him.

No matter how beautiful where you go is, you will lack certain triumphs if you disconnect from those that God put over you. No matter how humble they appear, maintain your connection and honour them. You cannot get what God wants you to get from them anywhere else.

In Luke 15:20-24, the prodigal son had to rise, go back and negotiate with his father. It was not a session of prayer and fasting. You cannot pray your way into nourishment until you reconnect to your God ordained channels.

Throw away your pride and Return to your father and those that GOD put over you. Don’t allow offence to rob you anymore. Return Now.

  • REACTIVATE your Secret Place

Our generation is a very busy and burdened generation. Many Christians now give in to haste and have stopped or reduced praying and Word study. Other things have occupied your mind and your Fire is sinking.

Lev 6:12 says, “And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.”

Your fire will go down and choke out if you stagger in the place of prayer and Word study. Arise and Restore your Secret Place Now.

  • RE-PLOUGH your Fields

Some people have left the Specific Assignment GOD gave them. You have opted for a more beautiful Church. Your field is overtaken by weed and pest, and you are smiling away or possibly labouring in another man’s field.

I remember some years ago while Pastoring in Ikorodu – Lagos, some youths organized a vigil to pray because many of them were job seekers, so they invited me as a youth. God told me He will not be at the vigil. I asked why, He said, many of them have my Call on their lives, but they have abandoned my calling in search of jobs. I did not attend the vigil. Today, some of those youths are Pastors. God will give His people jobs but not at the detriment of His Calling on their lives.

GOD will not judge you based on what you do but on what He told you to do. Go back and work your field. You labour on another’s field will not count for you in Eternity.

IT IS TIME TO RISE to the Responsibilities of the Season. It is High Time to Awake out of every sleep and slumber of Destiny. There is not Fulfilment without Faith. None of GOD’S Promise will deliver without your Active Participation. You have a Role to Play, no more lukewarmness. Wake Up Now, Destiny beckons on you. God bless you. Arise!

NEW BOOK ALERT! 5 Types of Battles the devil Uses and How to Overcome. AVAILABLE HERE!

THE FORCES OF 2023

Thank God for revelation of deep things thus far. As privileged kings in His battalion, we are searching out deep things by His Spirit. What an honour! All the glory to the King of kings and the God of all flesh. Listen to me; the year 2023 is already set for your Establishment in Honour. Nothing will permit shame around your life anymore in Jesus name. Amen!

A couple of months back, I found myself in a very difficult situation. Though the LORD had informed us that difficult times will come, so it was not strange. However, it was not a palatable period, but by His Grace we stayed committed to God; hallelujah! Then, the LORD sent His servants, Daddy and Mummy Famonure all the way to visit us in Makurdi. God instructed me to invite them, and we did. Their visit was such an encouragement to us. God used them to lift us up in everyway; I can never forget. On that visit, they came not just as Spiritual Covering, they came as Deliverers for that moment.

The LORD revealed to me that; there are two main forces marshalled to dominate the year 2023 and the days ahead. These forces will affect every facet of human endeavour. They are not new; they have been in operation on this realm for long; but in 2023, their manifestations will determine what happens to humanity in the coming days. So, it is paramount that you watch your association very closely in 2023.

If you have not read the previous Notes for 2023, Click on the 1ST MINISTRY NOTE FOR 2023; and the 2ND MINISTRY NOTE FOR 2023. You will gain deep foundational insight into God’s Agenda for this year, and how to position yourself better.

Stealers of Love

1Kings 3:3 says, “And Solomon loved the LORD,…..” but chapter 11:1 says, “But king Solomon loved many strange women,…” The heart of Solomon had switched from passionately following God, to satisfying the desires of strange women. What happened to Solomon? Was this a bewitchment? And the Spirit of God told me, “the primary tool the devil used to capture king Solomon was association. The moment he began to associate with gentile kings and allow them to influence him, his passion for God began to drift until he lost control of his integrity to make quality decisions in pursuit of God.”

Listen to me child of God, the devil is after your fire. Motivational quotes have advised you to network. I have come to warn you to network with discernment. Watch your association. That a person is rich does not mean that you allow him or her into your alliance and inner circuit. Associate with people but be very careful who influences your life directly and indirectly. Solomon gathered the wrong influence around his life, and the devil won him cheaply. Wrong association is still an effective tool in the devil’s hand; the enemy will engage this tool a lot from 2023. Watch your space, guard your heart. You are in same grade, does not qualify him or her to be your “friend.” Greet them, but keep it at that level. Child of God, watch your heart and what influences your decisions.

Do not bring any association to a level where you cannot say “NO” to evil if it is presented. One of the greatest strengths a person can possess is the ability to say “NO” to evil, no matter who offers it. Wake Up!

Manifestations of Deliverers

Then, especially in 2023, we will begin to see the manifestation of the Ministry of Deliverers. Who are Deliverers? They are God’s tools built to bring deliverance to those who are destined for the top but cannot help themselves reach that height. Deliverers do not only to win their personal battles but also step into the battles of other people, and win for them.

2Chron. 23:9-11 says, “Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God. And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about. Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.”

Joash was destined to be king, but as a child, he had to be stolen and hid from Athaliar who was a threat to the royal lineage. Athaliah killed the entire royal lineage, but Joash was lucky to be stolen and kept away. Few years later, Jehoiada the priest rose up to enforce the enthronement of Joash as king. Joash was just a boy, but without notice, God made him king. He sat upon the throne of his father, right in the face of Athaliah, their enemy. Jehoiada was his deliverer, the vessel in God’s hand for Joash’s Enthronement and Establishment in Honour.

Listen carefully please, God told me that 2023 is our year of Establishment in Honour. God will enthrone you, forget about your age and level. This year, God is sending deliverers to enforce the honour of His people. Men and women who are not seeking personal gains will show up for you, they are stronger than your enemies. Deliverers are authorities to whatever threatens you. They will step in and see to your Establishment in Honour in 2023.

Caution! Caution!! Caution!!!

If you receive a prophet as a teacher, all you will get is his teaching, you cannot access the prophetic rewards. Be careful how you treat people this year. Matt 10:41 says, “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; …” If you belittle those that God sends for your deliverance, you have lost it. This is a heart matter.

Young people in churches, be careful. Adults and leaders in God’s house, be careful. Set pride aside, and understand that a major answer to your fasting and prayers this year is the operation of deliverers. They may not appear as fascinating, but be discerning; submit to God and honour them.

One More Note of Love

Furthermore, on this note of association, take heed, you need the right people in your journey to the fulfilment of destiny. No matter who your spiritual father is, he only sees in part. You need teachers and they could be many because there are many subjects to learn and attend to.

You need teachers and in the contemporary space, they are fondly known as mentors. If God has shown you that you would be great in the medical field, as much as you need your Spiritual father’s covering to excel, he would not be able to help you in that field if he is not an authority therein. So, God could gladly provide a Christian mentor for you in that field to teach you the paths to follow.

Allow God lead you. Watch your association. Deliverers are on assignment for your rescue and enthronement in Jesus name. Have a blessed 2023 in Jesus name. Arise!

If you are called to be a Saviour in Ministry or in your Career Path, or you want to know more about the life, patterns and Ministry of Deliverers, then get the Mp3 audio below.

DEALING WITH INTERNAL ENEMIES OF 2023

A few days before the new year, I was privileged to be in a retreat with the LORD. Just before leaving home, the LORD already placed a huge burden on my heart, a burden that dragged me to physical tears. By the time I was locked in with God, I had a form a physical pain around my chest area, I cannot really explain the pain but I could feel it physically. I spent my first night crying to God to remove this unexplainable pain from my heart. And of course, I initially invested some good time bombarding God with other prayer requests. But the burden persisted.

While I tarried with the LORD, I discovered that God dragged me into listening to Him. I suddenly found myself in quietness, for answers to the matters that I brought to Him. And then, He started talking to my heart, unveiling the mysteries that were of concern to me. He spoke a lot about the year 2023, and then I discovered that, while I had switched from voicing my request, the burden and pain on my heart had disappeared.

As soon as I realized the pain was no more, the LORD told me that, the pain and burden I felt was exactly the burden and pain His people had gone through in the year 2022. I immediately knew that in this year 2023, God will take away the burdens and pains in the lives of His people; delays will end, disappointments will become favourable appointments, distractions will loose grip, discouraged hearts will get strengthened, debts will be paid off and cancelled, depression will disappear; and God will take away the burdens of His people. 

The burden God placed on me was very discomforting. It however vanished as I switched from speaking, and began to listen to God. Without having to say the words, the LORD enlightened me to understand that, we will gain more victories this year by simply listening to Him.

There is the Listening Dimension of Prayer. Prayer is our access to God. It is also one of God’s avenue to reach and communicate with us. Prayer is not complete until you can hear God, as much as He can hear you. The effect of prayer is truncated if you are satisfied with the words you speak to God, when the real victories you desire are in the answers and strategies He is releasing.

Jer. 33:3 says, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

Jer. 33:3 is simply implying that, no matter how much you vibrate and are eloquent in prayers, great and mighty things are only available in God’s responses; and these great and mighty things, you do not know them. No matter how good you feel and the results you get when you pray, the great and mighty outcomes of prayer are not accessed until God speaks back to you. It is wisdom to give priority to the answers of God, especially in 2023. We must learn the art of hearing God, if Establishment in Honour is our desire.

Oh, that we will begin to desire that He speaks more. Sometimes, we talk too much because we know so little. God invested the remaining part of my time apart with Him, speaking to me. It was a very fulfilling time for me. All the glory to God!

There are times when God is ready, and doing so much in and around our lives, but because we have adopted a culture that worked, we loose the flexibility to adjust to what will work. The adopted culture that worked becomes an enemy to the momentary requirement of Heaven. We have learnt to pray and yes, we bombarded Heaven throughout 2022. We have also started the same approach this year. We must not stop praying, but now, we must give more attention to listening, and be ready to apply His instructions. What God is saying is more important than what you have to say, especially now. I believe this is one of the reasons why the LORD is having us pray at 5.00am as we wait on Him for 21 days; so we can have the remaining part of the day, listening to His responses. Hallelujah!

See Something Very Important in the Bible...

1 Kings 11:2 says, “Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.”

While, verse 11 says, “Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.”

Solomon stuck with the attitude of gathering strange woman and nothing seemed wrong. He was violating God’s instructions but things were still working for Him. Solomon desired these women and his desire for them was stronger than his passion to obey God’s instructions. This evil desire brought God’s judgement upon him and his generations. Even though there was a Covenant to keep David’s lineage established in honour, the kingdom was taken away from Solomon. This king lost the honour and its continuity. There was an enemy in Solomon’s heart; it cost him the throne and its establishment.

God is still drawing our attention again, to our hearts. God found David in the wilderness because of his heart, 1Sam. 13:14. If your heart is right towards God, this year, God will lift you up. What is in your heart? In this year 2023, the intentions of our hearts will be tested and revealed. And the results will be evident for many to see. What is in your heart can destroy what is in the future. Align your heart with the demands of God and His perfect will.

What was the Difference Between David and Solomon?

Their hearts were different! What was in David’s heart was different from what was in Solomon’s heart. While David’s heart yearned after God, 1Sam 13:14 and desired to do God’s will, without personal agenda; Solomon had his own agenda. He longed for something else part from God, 1Kings 11:2. Yes, Solomon loved God, but he loved other things too, 1Kings 3:1-3. Whatever your heart yearns for, apart from God, is an enemy that can truncate God’s agenda for you.

Pastor, Elder, Deaconess, Youth Leader, turn your hearts to God and seek Him only. If evil continues in your heart, it can destroy the promises of God for your Ministry and family. 2023 is a year of the fulfilment of Covenant Promises; but God will not allow the throne continue in the hands of a man whose heart is not right towards Him.

If you have never given your life to Jesus; or you need to make your ways perfect before Him, Return to God today, Say this Prayer of Salvation and Rededication;

“Almighty God, I have not been faithful and I have sinned. I return to you today; have mercy of me. Give me a new heart, the heart that pants after you. I receive Jesus anew into my heart, as my Lord and Saviour. I am born again, and I receive Championship over the devil, over sin and over the world. Thank you LORD, in Jesus Name. Amen!”

2023: ESTABLISHED IN HONOUR

Congratulations and happy new year 2023. Welcome to our year of ESTABLISHEMENT IN HONOUR. 1 Kings 2:12 says, “Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.” Solomon assumed the throne prepared for him; it was a Generational Benefit. But apart from becoming king, God gave stability and peace to his reign. There are basic things that God will do for you this year 2023.

However, by the help of the Holy Spirit, I will be unveiling God’s heart for His people in a number of notes. This is the first, other notes will follow in the coming days. Please, give attention to what God is saying to us in these scripts. They are for our eternal benefits.

What Does It Mean to be Established in Honour?

  • GOD will Pull You Out of every pit, prison and conspiracy of delay.

2022 was tough for many because it was a year of Final Tests for God’s people. While we have been praying, God has been trying and testing and making us. God does not give you what He has prepared, until you are prepared from His standards.

So, if you survived the storms of the previous year, and did not forsake Jesus; congratulations. In 2023, God will grant you Prison to Palace Testimonies.

  • GOD will Enthrone You and Your Generation.

You have been hopping from job to job. At first, the new job will thrill you, but a few months down, you are dissatisfied. Actually, it is not a job you desire, your heart has been yearning for your place in destiny

In 2023, God will bring you to the Place of Destiny. The pit, slavery and prison have been pathways. Now, God will set you upon the much awaited Covenant Heights ordained for you. He will fulfill His Covenant promises for you. Even if it never existed, because of you, a place will be created at the top. Hallelujah!

Your lifting comes with Establishment. This means, God will make your reign last. What God is doing in 2023, will make your children and those after them, benefit from this Covenant Fulfilment.

  • GOD will incapacitate every threat to your Reign.

There are 2 basic ways God incapacitates threats to our reign. He either makes your enemies to be at peace with you; or He executes your enemies completely. Because we are in the season of judgement, I perceive that in 2023, God may kill people for your sake; especially those who refuse to give you space and peace.  You will enjoy Peace and Joy throughout 2023 and onward. Hallelujah!

What Does God Require of Us in 2023?

Amongst other requirements that will help secure your Honourable Establishment, all of which we would dig into in subsequent notes, God’s primary requirement for His people this year is Love. 1 Sam 13:14 says, “But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people,…”

It takes a genuine heart for God, to come into the Palace and Destiny prepared for you. Without Genuine Love for GOD, you cannot come into the Palace and Kingdom Royalty will be terminated. Wherever you are now, love God genuinely and serve Him dedicatedly, He will seek you out this year 2023.

Saul lost his place because his heart was no longer with God, 1Kings 13:13.

Solomon began well, loving God with all his heart, 1Kings 3:3; but his heart left God, and his love for God was replaced by love for strange women, 1Kings 11:1. God cut off His Established and Generational Honour, 1Kings 11:9-11.

Love the LORD with all your might, your soul, your body and your resources. It takes love to lead in this Kingdom. It takes love to maintain royalty. If your love for God is not intact, you cannot rise into destiny no matter how much you try.

What are the Proofs of your Genuine Love for God?

  • Put God first in everything! Matt. 6:33.
  • Serve God on His terms not yours. He calls the shots; we are privileged servants. Obey His instructions, all of them; and obey them delightsomely. John 14:15.
  • Serve God with your whole heart. Stop this eye service and gimmicks. Mark 12:30.

HOW I BROKE FREE FROM ADDICTIONS….

It was late 2005 and I just gave my life to Christ. I was a few weeks in Christ but still had the challenge of trying to stop smoking. I knew I had a new life and was all glad, saved and redeemed; but I was still surrounded by my gang and had everything the old life presented, still glaring at me. So, for me, smoking was a temptation I was battling with.

The day I accepted Christ, I joined a Service Unit in Church. Serving God is very important if you must grow in your walk with God. Those who just want to accept Christ and go to Church only on Sundays, without accepting His call to serve, will never go far to enjoy the benefits of the Kingdom of God.

If you do not serve, you will not grow. In God’s Kingdom, Sonship without Service is irresponsibility. Christ came to serve and not to be served; what other model do you think we can adopt? If you do not serve God actively, many Covenant blessings will be inaccessible to you, even if your Salvation is genuine.

I joined the Sanctuary Keepers and joined the group to clean the Church weekly. But I did this in faith. I did not just clean the Church; I was serving God specifically with faith in my heart. I knew the Bible said, that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; 1Cor. 6:19. So, as I was sweeping and cleaning the Church, I kept telling God; “As I am cleaning your House, clean my life (your temple) of every dirty attitude and negative addiction.” And it worked!

After a few weeks, I was on my way back home from one of our cleaning sessions. As I passed by the spot I used to buy cigarette, the smoke of cigarette passed by my nose and the smell irritated me, I nearly had a running stomach. I immediately knew that I was delivered from the addiction of smoking and drinking.

Before then, I could smoke all kinds of things. But no more! I received deliverance by the mystery of Kingdom Service, and by doing it in faith. Ex 23:25 says, “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”

When you serve God, He takes away sickness from your life; and this includes negative addictions such as lesbianism, homosexuality, masturbation, smoking and drinking, stealing, anything that is a stranger to the life that Christ wants you to lead. Serving God in Faith breaks the yoke of addictions.

Since that moment till forever, I am free from smoking, drinking and other negative addictions.

For Kingdom Service to work for you, you must first be a child of the King; you must be born again. So if you have not accepted Jesus into your heart or you are still willfully living in sin, you need to repent now. Say this Prayer from your heart; “Lord, I am a sinner; have mercy on me. I accept Jesus into my heart, as my Lord and Saviour. From now, I am born again and recieve Championship over satan, over win and over the world. Amen!”

Are you struggling with any addiction as a child of God? Is the devil trying to tempt you with the battles of the former life? Go and Serve GOD in Faith. Even if you have sinned, ask God for mercy, then plant yourself in the redeeming Power of Kingdom Service. Those that are planted in Zion, will not lack nourishment. Today, I see God break off every chain of addiction on your life in Jesus name. Amen.

EVERY MISSIONARY IS BURDENED

For weeks, I have resisted the urge to write you on this. But it has come as a strong burden, I no longer have a choice! Yes! Every Missionary is burdened. I am not talking about Christian and Non-governmental organizations posing as humanitarian agencies but servicing the stomach of a few. I am talking about Individuals, Churches, Agencies, Ministries, Groups and Non-governmental organizations that have left familiar grounds to answer the call of God. Those who have planted themselves in regions that others are fleeing, and are committed to the One who has sent them. I am talking about genuine servants of God; many of whom are hardly known or recognized.

Every Missionary is burdened! You cannot be a missionary and lead a normal life, little wonder, many do not dare venture into this choice-Call. The demands are high, the sacrifices are grievous, the perils are heavy, the scars are painful, but the glory ahead far outweighs the sufferings therein.

As a Missionary, you cannot think about an accommodation for yourself and family alone; you must think of a facility large enough to house others who will need a place to stay after they have accepted your Jesus on the field. A three bedroom flat can only be a starting point.

A Missionary cannot cater for only his children’s schooling; he better prepares to school the whole community or send many to schools in neighbouring communities where the facility is available. You must cater for those you have been sent to.

A Missionary cannot only pray for the sick. Even when they are healed, there will be need to engage Medical Practitioners – some of whom he will pay – for certain cases that need this attention. This is part of the love that Jesus approves of in Matt 25:44-45; “Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me”

Every genuine Missionary is playing down on his needs, while rejoicing at every little achievement he or she gets in the work committed in their care. For instance, after a series of open-air crusades, there is news of massive harvest of souls and miracles; it may shock you that the person mightily used of God, does not have basic necessities back at home. Some Missionary families are baring burdens that have made their children abhor the word “Missions.” Stop equating the massive displays to personal wealth of a Missionary. Personal Finances and Ministry Funds are two different extremes to a Missionary who has learnt to be faithful to God.

If God has really called you into Missions, you will see money, it is only a matter of time. Some of it will come as test, others as proof that God supplies the needs of His people. Genuine Missionaries handle more money than the way they appear. This is not due to greed, it is a lifestyle they must lead. You cannot be busy on the field and live large. Missionaries prioritize the work and the needs of the flock above their personal needs.

Missionaries are one of the most Financially Intelligent people. From knowing how to make friends in foreign fields, then converting friends to supporters, raising and keeping partners without appearing beggarly; then being entrepreneurial and investment savvy; Missionaries undergo all kinds of training in order to stay ahead of the enemy – spiritually, physically and otherwise.

With these and much more saddled on Missionaries, you are not assured that the people you are sent to, will not try to mock you, or conspire against you or even attack you. The devil is always out, looking for room to attack, but we always have the victory in Christ Jesus. Missions exposes you to the terrors on the field. However, Missions also brings you into the realities of God’s protection as seen in Isa 54:17, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Some years back, one of my daughters called me up requesting for my account details, and that of other Missionaries. Someone she knew needed to send support. It was a huge relief for us because for months, this angel in human skin kept encouraging some of us. God bless them forever.

Is there a Missionary you know? Encourage them! Show up in person or send your support as a surprise. Their burden is not your business, but they are carrying burdens that are not theirs too. We are all here to carry one another’s; so, show up.

Pray for Missionaries. Show up on the field and give a helping hand. Send them resources and useful materials. You can even help to support their children’s school fees. Or, you can send financial support, one-time or monthly.

As I said earlier, I tried to restrain myself from sending you this note. It has come, work with it. I believe God is speaking to someone. God bless you!

5 TYPES OF BATTLES THE DEVIL SPECIALIZES IN USING

Hallelujah! The battles of the devil are believers’ tools for producing and replicating victories we have read about and seen happen in the lives of other people. The Bible says, “…count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations” James 1:2. This means, battles are meant to bring joy, because they are the stepping stones to victory and serve as raw material for strengthening of our faith in Christ Jesus.

Below are 5 types of battles the devil specializes in using;

  • Personal Battles

These are battles that face a believer because of the choices and decisions he or she has made.

Personal battles are not always the handwork of the devil, but they give the enemy access and foothold to manipulate, punish and sometimes prolong the effects of the battles in the life of the individual concerned.

An example of a Personal Battle is the consequence of sin. Rom 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death…” When a man goes into sin, he has chosen to be enslaved by the devil. He is drawn by his desires and gives himself in. This is a decision, and the devil who specializes in taking advantage of those who fall, will mount other issues into the concerned individual, if confession unto salvation is not done on time.

Every believer must be careful about the choices he or she makes. Because even as children of God, if we make wrong decisions, even in our normal work lives, we will face consequences. Then sometimes, depending on the nature of decisions, these consequences can be grievous.

  • Unknown Battles

These are battles raging against individuals but in deception. The devil is a master in deception, he does not like Light, he hates the Truth. Actually, the devil will have loved to do all things hidden.

Unknown battles are wars that rage in such a way that the victims know that something is wrong, but they cannot figure out where it is coming from. These are battles that disguise and manipulate the victims.

There was this brother while we were on campus. When eating, he will just discover that his food was reducing faster than how he was eating it. Someone was eating with him but he couldn’t see the person. This is battle in deception. He could see the impact but could not trace the source.

Unknown battles can only be destroyed by Light. This means, until the power or personality behind the battle is unveiled, the battle continues. You must pray for God to expose every power and force fighting you, then the enemy can be defeated.

Pray like this, “Father, open my eyes to see what is affecting my life in secret in Jesus name”

  • Inherited Battles

These are wars passed from generation to generation. You know, the devil is a bastard; he loves to counterfeit the things of God. The devil knows that the blessings of God are generational, so he decided to create household wickedness and inherited curses.

Sometimes, inherited battles flow in the bloodline. Sometimes, they are afflictions and sicknesses that the enemy passes from parents to children using monitoring spirits and strongmen attached to families that have not received deliverance.

Listen to me! If you find yourself going through the battles that your parents went through, you have Spiritual work to do. And if you notice a repetition of certain evil traits flowing in your family, you need to Wake Up and Stop the devil before it stops you.

Inherited battles are overcome by good understanding of your Redemptive Rights in Christ Jesus, and your ability to enforce them through prayers. See, the devil gives way for the man that knows his Rights in Christ Jesus!

  • Associated Battles

These are battles born out of association with the wrong person or people. For instance, if you marry a man or woman with battles, you will share from it. If you enter into a relationship with a man or woman with battles, you will carry part of it. If you enter into Business Partnership with an embattled associate, you will share in the consequences. This is why you must be careful about associations you enter into, including casual friendships.

I remember some years back, I boarded a bus from Makurdi, headed for Lagos. We were still in Benue when the bus had an accident. The bus somersaulted and landed in the bush. But thank God, we all made it alive. One man had major injury, and the Lord told me that, the devil was out to kill that man. We were in the bus he entered, so we had to be in the accident.

Pray for yourself: Father, deliver me from every association sponsoring battles in my life. I will not enter the wrong association anymore in Jesus name. Amen!

  • Inflicted/Enforced Battles

These are battles that are enforced on individuals by the devil himself or by his agents. I have seen where people are instruments in the hands of the devil without even knowing.

As undergraduates on campus, I knew a lady who had a sexual-magnet in her life. Whenever she was around a man, the man will be feeling a strong urge to have sexual intercourse with her. The enemy planted this battle in her life and she did not even know. All she observed was that, many guys were interested in having sex with her at any given opportunity.

Enforced and Inflicted battles thrive in the lives of powerless people. When a person lacks the power of the Holy Spirit, the devil can enforce trash on him or her. Be filled with the Holy Ghost for “…..the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” 1Peter 5:8.

Pray for yourself: Father, uproot everything the enemy has planted and enforced on my life, in Jesus name.

How Do You Gain Victory Over These Battles?

  • Be Born Again

Salvation through Christ Jesus is the only escape route out of the entrapment and battles of the enemy. If you are not yet born again, or if you are just living without total submission to Jesus, pray like this:

“Lord Jesus, I am a sinner; have mercy on me. I believe you died for me to be free. Wash me clean with your Blood. I receive you into my heart as my Lord and Saviour. From now, I am born again. I receive Championship over sin, satan and the world. Amen!”

Congratulations! Now, you are born again!

  • Grow and Understand your Redemptive Rights

As a new believer, you are a baby in faith. You need to grow so that your Spiritual muscles will be strong enough, or else you may face challenges too hard for you to handle.

There are many treasures available for you in Christ, but they are only accessible through growth. Feast daily on the Word of God. Receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Make prayers your daily and constant habit. Get a Church or Fellowship where the Truth of God’s Word is taught. Then, you need someone to disciple and mentor you.

I mentor and disciple Champions through Arise Network Champions Family (ANCF), a Kingdom community of young vibrant believers from all works of life. Send a Whatsapp message to +234 817 040 7813, requesting to be added to ANCF Online Forum.

  • Pray and Enforce your Victory

The devil only submits in warfare. Many Christians who are loosing to the devil are doing so because of their inability in warfare. You need to learn to pray and pray through. Basically, praying with the right knowledge is a must. Furthermore, praying in alliance with the right people is very key to gaining your victory.

We started 31 Days PRAYER RAIN from 1st – 31st July 2022. Time: 5.00 – 6.00am (WAT). Join us daily on Facebook Live @champdejidavid, so you can pray and breakthrough. It is time for your Championship, and no power will be able to stop you anymore in Jesus name. Amen!

4 THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU WITHDRAW SUPPORT FOR A MISSIONARY

A Missionary is anyone who is serving the Lord in a strange land, amongst a people not previously familiar to him or her. Missions is not limited to Pastoring and running a Church in a foreign field. Missions cut across various career fields. Today, we have Medical Missionaries; these are Doctors, Nurses and other Medical practitioners who are attending to the health needs of selected people groups and using this to draw men into God’s Kingdom. We have Media Missionaries. We also have Education Missionaries, these are Educators, Administrators, Teachers, etc, who are setting up and sponsoring Mission Schools in rural areas, as a means of winning communities to Jesus. The concept of Missions is very vast, we keep seeing the Lord do new things through this Outreach Enterprise for the rescue of the souls of people across the nations. So, the next time you see a Missionary, he could be a Professional who has set his “Isaac” on the Altar of God, to burn as Sacrifice to win the world.

Missions need support in diverse forms. From Prayers, to Personnel, to Funding, to Visitations; many things are needed to keep the man or woman on the field alive and productive. And, this is the collective effort of the Church, the Bride of JESUS on the earth.

Among others, I will list 4 things that can happen when you withdraw support for a Missionary on the field. This is not to bring resentment or guilt to anyone who has withdrawn help from a Missionary or Missions Agency. This note is to encourage you and the entire body of Christ to Rise Up, because men and women or leaving the field in their numbers.

  • Weakness

Recently, I watched as a Missionary’s Performance level kept dropping. I spoke to another Minister of the need to help that young Missionary. The personnel in question confided in me, of how difficult it has been for him to raise funds for the work. He was getting weak, and it was obvious, at least to those who had the experience to see from afar.

Money is not the only thing that Ministry and Missions need. But when this is lacking; frustration, low self esteem and depression can set in. Don’t allow the Missionary you are sent to help, run into weakness.

  • Doubt

Apart from trusting God for funds for the work, every Missionary needs support for personal and/or family upkeep. Do you know that there are Missionaries who are running projects that you applaud, yet they lack basic necessities for their livelihood? If your Church congregation support Missionaries, take time to visit your missionaries on the field; these people are trained to play down their needs for the sake of pushing the Gospel; you will be shocked what some of them pass through, while giving you positive Missions Reports.

If funding is low and it continues, many Missionaries begin to doubt their calling, or doubt the possibility of success on the field. Many Missionaries are running for luxurious fields, abandoning their place because of the inability to lay hold on necessary funding and support. How can a man who no longer sees success in his work, survive the harshness of the field?

  • Unfaithfulness

You hear of pastors who cut corners because they are in your cities. Missionaries are in the bush, some of them cut corners too. Missionaries face the same temptations as pastors, when support is scarce. No one has an excuse for unfaithfulness in this Kingdom. But, the pressures are light when the common wealth is available to all through those sent to do the distribution.

Recently, the Lord showed me a revelation of how people in the church of today are digging the graves of Ministers. When the man is starved, it becomes harder to perform.

If you withdraw support for a Missionary, you have left him to the strong whip of the devil. Your support is encouraging, refreshing and cultivates a sense of belonging for the Missionary and his family.

If there is someone you should not abandon, after Jesus and your spouse, it is the Missionary that GOD has sent you to. Release your support for them.

  • Replacement

A Missionary must continue in prayers and in practice to win and retain quality relationships that will keep the support he needs flowing. However, some times, the support does not come, so many Missionaries result into other strategies proven in Scripture, to earn their livelihood and the funding they need.

I believe that God is always true, He will be with us unto the end of the age. No one has the permanent title of “helper of destiny.” If God has blessed one financially and he refuses to give the support he has received from Above, God will send another to help and support Missions.

If you withdraw support for a Missionary, God will replace you! Don’t abandon God’s project committed to your care. Arise!
