SATURDAY 1 Proverbs 12:1
ATTAIN Whoever loves instruction loves
MATURITY knowledge, but he who hates
correction is stupid.

G od trains His children unto maturity. The

current phase you are currently in might
serve as a formative period, meant to cultivate
greater responsibility in your life. Often, the
advancement to the next phase hinges on your
ability to embrace and handle challenges. When
faced with challenges, your effectiveness in
handling such situations is a function of God's
wisdom within you. This, in turn, will reveal the
extent of what you are equipped to manage and
1
handle effectively.
The capacity of your thinking determines
what responsibilities you can handle in this
kingdom. How you handle your responsibilities
directly influences your access to your desires.
Many individuals hold grand aspirations and
desires that they fervently pray for, hoping to see
them come to fruition without delay. However,
God aims to prepare them so that they can
effectively maintain (sustain) and enhance
(increase) whatever blessings He bestows. For
every believer, the pursuit of responsibility
should be paramount. Avoid letting selfishness
hinder your journey toward responsibility and
accountability. Be sure to embrace the growth
process that God is leading you through!

ATTAIN Now I say, That the heir, as long as he

MATURITY II though he be lord of all; But is under tutors
and governors until the time appointed of
the father.

R esponsibility does not shield you from facing

difficulties. In fact, challenges are often
meant to foster your growth. Therefore, to
effectively navigate through challenges, a
commitment to expanding your knowledge is
crucial. Many individuals find themselves
trapped in recurring situations due to a lack of
dedication towards learning. It is God's intention
to expand your mental capacity, guiding you
toward the fulfillment of His promises for your
3
life. Various indicators reflect your current
mental readiness, one of which is how you react
when receiving guidance or correction. These
responses act as significant measures of your
preparedness for the next stage of elevation.
Undergoing God's training for a specific
purpose necessitates a commitment to the
journey and most times, He seeks to use those
above you to teach you, because they have also
been through the same process. These
individuals have navigated similar challenges
themselves. Bear in mind, that attaining
maturity comes at a price. Therefore go through
the process that God is taking you so as to
effectively produce results in your desired
pursuit of life.

UNLEASH For what saith the scripture?
YOUR FAITH Abraham believed God, and it
was counted unto him for
righteousness.

I n Acts 20:32, Apostle Paul admonishing the

church said, "I commend you to God and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up
and to the give you an inheritance among them
that are sanctified." For the believer in Christ,
building your faith is not an option. It is
something you must consciously do. And beyond
5
growing your faith, you must therefore
continuously exercise your faith in the area of
your life where you desire a change -- you must
unleash your faith in your area of need.
To Unleash means to release with a force, to
cast. You must unleash your faith to get
something done. Faith is not faith until it
produces results. If you don't unleash your faith
to produce the desired result it would look as if
God is absent.

UNLEASH For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it
YOUR FAITH II was counted unto him for

W hy is it difficult for many believers to

release their faith? It's simple, the answer
is fear. Nothing destroys faith more than fear. It is
the number one weapon against your faith.
Many people fail to carry out instructions from
God that would have brought them to their high
place because of fear and as a result, they
remained stunted, No growth, no increase, no
expansion, no favour. Fear is a killer of dreams
and visions. God would not be able to do so much
7
for you and through you, if you are afraid.
How then do you deal with fear? The first
thing to do to conquer fear is to stop feeding on
the wrong information. Refuse negative talking,
conversations that will affect your mind
negatively. Continuously Feed on the right
informations, study the word, feed on the right
materials, Christian materials like the devotional
in your hand right now. Study them and profess
the words to your self. When you do this,
unleashing your faith to produce result won't be
difficult to do.

WEDNESDAY 5 John 14:17
HE SENT FORTH He sent His word and healed
HIS WORD them, And delivered them from
their destruction.

G od's Word is replete with patterns and

principles to follow to ensure victory in all
areas of endeavor. All we need to do is to find out
what God has said and take advantage of it, using
it as a tool for victory.
Our opening Scripture tells us of the power
of the sent Word. It says God sent His Word and
healed the oppressed and delivered them from
their destruction. When you call on God
according to His Word, He answers you with a
9
Word that suits the occasion, a Word that's
custom-made for you, and for the situation for
which you require His intervention, that's the
sent Word. It always comes with the power to
deliver the answer, the victory, and the
intervention needed per time. Verses 18 and 19
of Psalms 107 tell us that the people's souls
abhorred (speaking of the children of Israel) all
manner of meat, and they drew near unto the
gates of death; then they cried unto the Lord in
their trouble, and He saved them out of their
distresses.
We can also take a cue from this account
and apply same to our lives. When there is a
matter at hand, when we seek direction, or
whatever the situation may be, we ought to know
that there is a Word from God that addresses us
personally, and as we turn our hearts to the Lord
in prayer, the Lord answers us by sending us a
Word for the said area of concern.

THURSDAY 6 3 John 2
THE FINANCIAL Beloved, I wish above all things that
WORD thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

T here is a Word from God concerning your

prosperity, and it is that God's will for you is that
you be sufficient in all things (2 Corinthians 9:8). This
is God's plan for you.
Once you begin to believe it is God's will to
prosper you, you can't help but wonder how He is
going to do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail?
Or start floating currency bills down from the trees?
Or is he going to make money supernaturally appear
in your purse? How? Yes, God can do all the above,
and He sure does provide miraculously, but in our
11
opening scripture we are told He's going to do it by
prospering your soul. He's going to plant the seeds of
prosperity in your heart, and as they grow, they'll
produce a great financial harvest.
If you go to the book of Genesis and read the
story of Joseph, it is a perfect demonstration of what
we are talking about. When Joseph was sold as a slave
to the Egyptians, he didn't have a dime to his name.
He didn't even have his freedom. He had been sold as
a slave. But, right in the middle of his slavery, God
gave Joseph such wisdom and ability that he made his
owner prosper. As a result, the man put Joseph in
charge of all his possessions. How did God
accomplish all that? By prospering Joseph's soul. No
matter how dismal his situation became, no matter
how impossible his problems, God was able to reveal
the spiritual secrets that would open the door of
success for him. That's what makes God's method of
prospering so exciting. It works anywhere and
everywhere. It will work in the poorest countries on
the face of this earth just like it worked for Joseph,
and you can be sure that it will work for you!

THE HEALING My son, attend to my words; incline thine
ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart
WORD I from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of
thine heart. For they are life unto those that
find them, and health to all their flesh.

O ne time Jesus was approached by a woman

who kept crying out to Him, begging Him to
heal her demon-possessed daughter. At first
Jesus didn't say anything. But at the urging of His
disciples, He responded to the woman's cries by
saying, "'It is not good to take the children's bread
13
and throw it to the little dogs'" (Matt.15:26
NKJV).
This woman could have been offended.
Instead she persevered, and her daughter was
healed. But Jesus made it clear that healing is
"the children's bread." Galatians 3:29 tells us that
"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise" (NIV).
And according to Ephesians 1:5, God has
adopted us as children through Jesus Christ. If we
are born again, then we're children of God. And
the children's bread—which is healing—belongs
to us! The Word of God is like medicine to our
bodies. We need to learn how to take God's
medicine so it can do its healing work.

THE HEALING My son, attend to my words; incline thine

of thine heart. For they are life unto those
that find them, and health to all their flesh.

M ost people have had to get a prescription

filled at a pharmacy at one time or
another. There are always instructions on the
bottle of medicine that tell how much to take,
when to take it, and how to take it. The bottle may
read, "Take one tablet every six hours," "Take one
pill three times a day," or "Take one pill in the
morning and one pill at night
with food." If we don't follow the instructions, we
can get into trouble. We can take too much or not
16
enough of the medicine. Or we can take it too
often or not often enough. With medicine, we
must take it according to the doctor's
prescription. It will only be effective if it's taken
properly.
We need to do the same thing with the
prescription that God has written for us. It's very
simple and is found in Proverbs 4:20 and 21. In
these verses we find four steps to taking the
medicine of God's Word. We've got to give it
attention, we've got to incline our ears to it,
we've got to focus on it, we've got to keep them
in the midst of our hearts. That's the way to draw
on it's healing power. How often should this be
done? Everyday! Day and night! So, have you
taken your medicine today? Get the Word in!

SUNDAY 9 James 5:17,18
DEMAND Elijah was a man like us, and he
A CHANGE prayed…and he prayed again

I n our opening scripture we see a man called

Elijah. If you have any interest in the subject of
prayer, you must have come across the mention.
Elijah was notable for the fervency of his prayers
that saw miraculous events take place such as the
shutting and opening up of the heavens.
The parable of the persistent widow and the
unjust judge in Luke 18 is part of a series of
illustrative lessons Jesus Christ used to teach His
disciples about prayer. Luke introduces this
18
lesson as a parable meant to show the disciples
“that they should always pray and never give up”
(verse 1, NLT). The parable of the widow and the
judge is set in an unnamed town. Over that town
presides an unjust judge who has no fear of God
and no compassion for the people under his
jurisdiction and therefore he ignored her.
N eve r t h e l e s s , s h e ref u s e d to g i ve u p .
\Eventually, the judge said to himself, "I don't
fear God or care about people, but this woman is
driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets
justice, because she is wearing me out with her
constant requests!" (Luke 18:45,NLT). The widow
gets the justice she was seeking. Then Jesus
explains His point: if an uncaring, unfit, ungodly
judge answers with justice in the end, how much
more will a loving and holy Father give what is
right to His children? No matter what the
situation is, if Gods children will demand a
change through persistent, fervent and
continuous prayer, there will be definite
interventions.

RELATIONSHIPS

I t is essential to be deliberate in cultivating

meaningful relationships. To do so, we must
focus on identifying the values in others. Equally
important is having a clear understanding of our
own purpose in life, as it is impossible to align
with a future or pursue a purpose without this
awareness. Once you have identified your
purpose, it becomes crucial to surround yourself
with relationships that support and contribute to
it.
20
It Is important to surround yourself with
individuals who possess the knowledge and
expertise relevant to your goals—people who
can make a positive contribution to your life's
goals. Their support can provide you with the
access, resources and guidance necessary to
achieve your objectives. However, maintaining
these relationships requires both commitment
and maturity. These qualities are essential in
overcoming selfishness, which is often the root
cause of relationship breakdowns. Maturity is
key to sustaining relationships that are truly
beneficial to your growth and success.

RELATIONSHIPS II

M aintaining the right associations requires

a strong sense of responsibility. It is
important to prioritize personal growth in order
to consistently nurture the relationships that
God has placed in your life.

22
 As you grow, taking on responsibility
becomes easier and your responsibility in
handling these relationships will influence how
far it will go and take you. God has strategically
positioned certain individuals in your life to help
you fulfill your purpose, often through
meaningful connections. Do not allow your
actions to become the barrier to what you might
consider “unanswered prayers.” Choose to take
responsibility for building and sustaining the
right relationships, as this is a critical factor in
achieving your purpose.

RELATIONSHIPS III

R elationships exist at various levels, and some

prayers may have been unnecessary if we
had maintained the right relationships. God
intends for us to live purposeful lives, and
cultivating the right relationships could be the
key to answers we once believed were
unanswered. Every relationship we engage in
should be carefully assessed and clearly defined.
When studying scripture, you will see that
the first relationship was created for a specific
24
purpose: the man needed help, and the animals
could not provide that. Therefore, God created a
companion to assist and be a blessing to him.
Similarly, there are relationships that God has
intentionally placed in your life to transform you.
These relationships should be recognized,
nurtured and safeguarded.
Bear in mind that relationships are formed
between individuals who share common values.
There are no neutral relationships—whether or
not you have yet identified shared values, you are
either gaining or losing values. It is essential for
relationships to be built on established values,
where there is a mutual exchange of those
values.

HOLY SPIRIT I

T he Holy Spirit's primary roles include

providing instruction, teaching, and
guidance, as emphasized in the opening
scripture. In John 14, Jesus stated that He would
ask the Father to send another of His kind—His
26
representative—highlighting that “He will teach
you everything and remind you of all that I have
told you.” The Holy Spirit's function is to guide
the believer, offering the necessary instructions
and strategies for navigating life's journey.
In an attempt to appear self-sufficient,
many believers have disregarded the Holy Spirit's
guidance, making crucial decisions that
ultimately led to failure. It is essential to note that
it is impossible to experience true success as a
believer without the Holy Spirit's direction.

HOLY SPIRIT II

T he Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and as the

Bible clearly states, “only the Spirit of God
knows the thoughts of God.” To receive guidance
from the Holy Spirit, one must maintain a humble
heart. It is often pride that causes individuals to
view God's instructions as burdensome, leading
28
some to refrain from seeking His guidance, while
others choose to disobey. Moreover, every
strategy the Holy Spirit provides is uniquely
tailored to each individual, yet the results are
consistently remarkable.
It Is essential to regularly seek God's
guidance in all areas of life, including your
finances, marriage, family, career, and business.
Remain open to the Holy Spirit's direction and be

lessons that only time can reveal.

VICTORY And when he had consulted with the people,
he appointed singers unto the LORD and that
BY PRAISE should praise the beauty of holiness, as they
went out before the army, and to say, praise
the LORD; for His mercy endureth for ever.

I n 2 Chronicles chapter 20, three armies—the

Moabites, Ammonites, and
Meunites—unjustly declared war against King
J e h o s h a p h at . Fe a r i n g t h e t h re at , K i n g
Jehoshaphat sought guidance from the Lord,
who assured him of victory. In response,
Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead the army
in praise as they marched out to battle. God then
caused confusion among the enemy forces,
leading them to turn on one another. As a result,
31
the Judahite army did not have to fight; they
simply gathered the spoils, a process that took
them three days to complete. Hallelujah!
While the logical response in times of war is
to gather soldiers for battle, Jehoshaphat made
the unconventional decision to appoint 'singers'.
From a worldly perspective, this might have
seemed like a strategy for defeat, but in reality, it
was the key to their victory. Praising God in the
face of adversity never fails, as praise has the
power to provoke divine action.

T hroughout the Bible, every individual who

utilized the weapon of praise experienced a
miraculous victory. In our opening scripture, we
see the Apostle achieving Victory through praise.
Every believer will face challenges, but in
33
addition to praying, fasting, and giving, it is
essential to engage in praising the Lord. The Bible
speaks of "the sacrifice of praise," which refers to
offering praise even when it is difficult, as it
becomes a true sacrifice in such moments.
Make it a habit to activate the praise switch.

quicker He will respond to your situation. When it

which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when
it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and
becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come

T he Kingdom of Heaven represents the

Church of God, and whenever Jesus referred
to it, He was speaking about the body of Christ
and its expected function. In the parable of the
mustard seed, Jesus compared the church to a
person engaged in agriculture. A key element to
35
note in this parable is the nature of the seed:
though small in size, it has the potential to grow
and multiply over time, ultimately becoming
highly valuable.
For a believer to become a person of value
within this kingdom, prioritizing growth is
essential. Achieving this requires effective time
management, as many individuals fail to properly
utilize their time, often spending it on
insignificant matters rather than focusing on
what truly contributes to their growth.

which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when
it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and
becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come

A mustard seed, though small and seemingly

insignificant, holds little value as a seed until
it grows into a tree. Similarly, value in a person is
revealed through their growth. A believer must
be committed to increasing their value, which
involves dedicating time to personal growth.
One key virtue necessary for growth is humility. A
humble person remains open to learning from
others, as pride prevents any knowledge or
wisdom from being imparted. Consistent
37
practice is also important—continuing to engage
in activities that add value, even if they seem
outdated or unconventional. It is important to
remain focused on proven methods that
contribute to growth. Growth requires
intentionality.
Just as a farmer protects his seeds from
weeds, pests, and animals, believers must guard
the Word of God that has been taught them from
doubts, fear, worry, and unbelief. Only by doing
so can the Word take root, grow, and yield the
right results in their lives.

PROTECT YOUR And supper being ended, the devil
HEART having now put into the heart of
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to
betray him

O ur reference scripture highlights an

intention that had been planted in the
heart of Judas Iscariot long before the Passover
feast. He only needed the right moment to act on
what had already been decided within him. This
39
suggests that often, when a believer engages in
actions contrary to their faith, the seed of that
behavior was first sown by the devil as a thought.
If left unaddressed, this thought eventually
manifests as a physical action.
In Judas' case, he failed to recognize that the
devil had planted the thought of betraying his
Master. Had he been aware of its origin, he could
have either dealt with the thought or sought help
from the Master. As we know, he later regretted
his actions and ultimately took his own life.

PROTECT YOUR Keep thy heart with all diligence;
HEART II for out of it are the issues of life.

M any believers today unknowingly accept

thoughts from the devil, only realizing
their influence when these thoughts manifest in
their actions. Have you ever heard of believers
who, at some point, stopped engaging in spiritual
practices or ceased attending church altogether?
They often question God's existence, asking why
He allowed certain events to occur. What they fail
to recognize is that it is the devil speaking
through them. The devil has gained a stronghold
41
in their lives, blinding them from seeing God in
any situation. This happens because their hearts
were not guarded, allowing any thought to enter
and take root.
As a believer, your heart is not a place for
just any thought to settle. You must actively
reject negative thoughts by using the name of
Jesus. Thoughts must either be acted upon or
dismissed; there are no neutral thoughts. They
are either positive or negative, and you will either
act on them later or not. If you are able to act on a
thought, it is because it was allowed to take root
in your heart. If you are unable to act on it, it is
because the thought did not settle or was not
given room to grow.

went away and hanged himself.

O ur opening scripture reveals the remorse of

Judas Iscariot after he recognized the
severity of his actions. However, it was deeply
misguided for him to take his own life rather than
seek mercy from the Lord. I believe the same
spirit that prompted him to betray his Master
also influenced him to commit suicide. The Bible
states that the devil's purpose is to kill, steal, and
destroy (John 10:10). His ultimate goal is
destruction, and unfortunately, Judas did not
43
recognize this in time.
This highlights the importance of guarding
our hearts carefully, leaving no room for the devil
to plant destructive seeds. If money were truly
Judas' primary motivation, why would he have
tried to return the thirty pieces of silver he
received in exchange for betraying Jesus? The
issue was never about money; the truth is that he
had been marked for destruction by the devil,
and it all began with a seed sown in his heart. If
you fail to protect your hearts from negative
thoughts, they can ultimately lead to your
downfall.

SATURDAY 22 John 13:7
FOLLOWING Jesus answered and said unto
IN PATIENCE I him, what I do thou knowest not
now, but thou shalt know hereafter

T he term “disciple” refers to a follower or

student of a teacher or leader. To follow your
leader effectively, it is essential to develop
patience. Patience is a vital character trait that
helps you stay grounded while following your
46
leader, especially since you may not initially
understand all of their actions or decisions
e s p e c i a l l y a t t h e b e g i n n i n g s ta g e s o f
followership.
This is where many people become
frustrated or suspicious and choose to walk away.
However, if you are patient and take the time to
observe and learn rather than jumping to
conclusions, you will eventually gain a deeper
understanding of your leader. As a result, your
ability to follow will strengthen, ultimately
leading to personal growth and blessings. Always
maintain a heart that is open and eager to learn.

PRAYER FOCUS

me, so I can enjoy all they

SUNDAY 23 John 13:7
FOLLOWING Jesus answered and said unto
IN PATIENCE II him, what I do thou knowest not
now, but thou shalt know hereafter

O ur opening scripture suggests that this was

the first time Jesus washed His disciples'
feet. They were surprised, as it appeared to them
as though Jesus was performing a ritual.
However, He explained that they would not fully
understand this action at that moment, but
would do so later. This indicates that not
everything will be explained to you immediately
as you follow the person God has placed in your
life. However, your patience and willingness to
48
learn from them over time will bring great
blessings.
Avoid the tendency to question everything
without seeking understanding. There are
individuals who claim to be students of a teacher
but fail to follow the teacher's instructions. They
complain, argue, or question every action the
teacher takes. Such behavior hinders growth and
learning. To benefit from the wisdom and
blessings your leader carries, you must be patient
and committed to following the guidance
provided.

BENEFITS OF For ye know the grace of our lord
OBEDIENCE I Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, yet for your sakes he became
poor, that ye through his poverty
might be rich.

E verything Jesus accomplished on the cross

was to provide us with the life we couldn't
afford. Our opening scriptures suggest that Jesus'
obedience to the Father paved the way for our
salvation, and in this context, salvation refers to
r i c h e s . Po v e r t y c a n c a s t d o u b l e y o u r
understanding of salvation, leading to negative
thoughts that are inconsistent with God's will.
The Greek term for salvation is “Soteria,” which
translates to “soundness” in all areas of life.
50
Therefore, salvation is a complete package
therefore to experience its fullness, you must
actively demonstrate your faith by obeying the
guidance of the Holy Spirit as He directs you. In
doing so, you are resting on the finished work of
Christ. Your obedience to the Holy Spirit's leading
is what unlocks what has already been
accomplished for you in the spiritual realm. It is
important to remember that the Holy Spirit
reveals to your spirit what is already contained in
God's Word; He does not instruct you to act on
something unrealistic or nonexistent.

PRAYER FOCUS
Dear father, I am open to FURTHER READING

TUESDAY 25 II Corinthians 8:9
BENEFITS OF For ye know the grace of our lord
OBEDIENCE II Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, yet for your sakes he became
poor, that ye through his poverty
might be rich.

F rom Genesis to Revelation, the Bible contains

numerous examples of how God helped
individuals become something meaningful, but it
was always their obedience to His commands
that gave their lives meaning. Proverbs 11:24(a)
states, “There is one who scatters and yet
increases.” This well-known verse holds the
potential to bring wealth, but merely reading it
will not make riches manifest. Your spirit must
grasp and settle with this truth, and when that
52
happens, the Holy Spirit will begin to teach you
how to give, in alignment with the principles of
this scripture, enabling you to experience its
benefits.
If you follow His guidance, the promise will
be fulfilled in your life. However, if you choose
not to, you forfeit the benefits. This is where most
people sometimes miss the mark. They often try
to do things their own way, interpreting scripture
through their actions without allowing the Holy
Spirit to guide them, which leads to a lack of
results. At times, they may see results, but not to
the extent that God intended for them. It is
essential to prioritize aligning your actions with
scripture, so that your lives reflect what the Word
says about you.

PRAYER FOCUS
Dear father, I am open to the FURTHER READING
leading of your Spirit; help me to Ecclesiastes 2:26,
obey the leading of the spirit per Luke 11:3

WEDNESDAY 26 Matthew 10:41(a)
RECEIVING he that receives a prophet in the
THE PROPHET'S name of a prophet shall receive
REWARD a prophet's reward.

O ur opening scripture contains the very

words of Jesus, and since these words are
His, they should be treated with the utmost
seriousness. When God calls a person into the
office of a prophet, He equips them with His
anointing and wisdom, to the point where it may
seem as though God Himself is speaking through
that individual. Some may even say, “God speaks
through him." Regardless of how you perceive it,
it is essential to honor the prophet and take
54
seriously everything they say.
Prophets carry with them specific rewards,
and it is only through honoring them that you can
access and experience these rewards. The Bible
provides examples of believers who honored
prophets and were blessed as a result. To receive
the rewards of a prophet, it is necessary to
genuinely sow to them. You cannot claim to
honor a person without giving to him/her. Giving
to the prophet is a tangible expression of your
honor, and it can activate the anointing on their
life to work on your behalf. Prophets are stewards
of heavenly gifts and must be regarded as such.

PRAYER FOCUS
Dear father, I recognize FURTHER READING
the Grace of my man of 2 Chronicles 20:20,
Deuteronomy 18:17-19

THURSDAY 27 Leviticus 18:19
RESIST THE Do not seek revenge or bear a
DEVIL grudge against anyone among
your people, but love your
neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

G od wants us to understand that we should

not view others as our enemies. Many
individuals who wrong us are heavily influenced
by the devil. When we consider someone an
56
enemy, it fosters unforgiveness in our hearts,
which becomes a powerful tool for the devil to
create further turmoil in our lives.
Unforgiveness gives rise to anger and
bitterness—emotions that can manifest as
physical ailments in the body. Satan is constantly
seeking opportunities to exploit believers, and
harboring hatred against another person opens
the door for the devil to enter your life. As
believers, it is our responsibility to resist him, and
when we do, he will flee from us.

PRAYER FOCUS

FRIDAY 28 1 Peter 2:2
GROWING BY As newborn babes, desire the
THE WORD sincere milk of the word, that
ye may grow thereby

I n Christ, we already possess everything we

need. As stated in 2 Peter 1:3, “According as His
divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and
virtue.” His divine power has provided us with all
that is necessary for life and godliness, but we
can only experience these blessings through our
knowledge of Him.
As we mature in the Lord and grow more
58
aware of His Kingdom, of which we are a part, we
learn to apply the fullness of what He has
provided for us. This process is similar to raising
children; although they are heirs to everything
their parents own, they cannot fully enjoy some
of those blessings until they reach a certain age
or level of maturity. The Bible tells us in Galatians
4:1, “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a
child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he
be lord of all.” This illustrates the importance of
every believer prioritizing their spiritual growth.

 TESTIMONIES

MIRACLE CHILD!

P raise God I want to thank God for His mighty

power at work in this ministry. I started
following this ministry last year November when a
colleague of mine shared me the link and encouraged
me to follow the services. I am a Nurse based in a
Lagos and my predicament was that I couldn't get
pregnant 16 years plus now. My first child is now 17
years old now.
On the 3rd Sunday of November last year, As
Apostle began to declare over the people I joined in
Faith to receive. During the course of the declara on I
felt a sharp pain under my navel but a er a while it
seized and I gave God thanks.
Few weeks from then I no ced a change in my
system. As a prac cing nurse I decided to run a test.
To my greatest surprise the test Revealed I was
pregnant. Whether to be Joyous or sad I couldn't
arrive at any one reasons being that my husband
hasn't been around for almost 4 months! I taught
within myself how I was going to break the news to
him.
He finally arrived from his trip a er 4 months
of Absence, I just told him the news just the way it
happened with me and how I have been following
this Apostle from Benin.

 TESTIMONIES

My husband being inquisi ve of this new

development, he went for divina on to know who's
child I am carrying. When he got there the priest told
him that “The child with your wife is for the family”
but what he doesn't understand is that “the child is
from Benin City”. My husband not being se led with
this one, he went to several places for divina on. But
the same thing was told him, “The child belongs to
you but the child is from Benin city”. Being in awe of
the words of the priest he believed the child I am
carrying was divine. Both my family and his family
came together to se le the disparity that arose from
this miracle.
I just want to thank God for not just blessing
me with a child a er 16 years but also for vindica ng
me and restoring my marriage.
