Philippians 4:6 [NIV] ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’

Tammy Hotsenpiller is author of the book ‘Fasting for Miracles’. Tammy is someone who has seen several miraculous answers to prayers in her own life.
The first miracle Tammy experienced was when her son was born premature. His lung collapsed and the diagnosis was grim. Doctors said he might not even make it through the night and if he did, he might be in a vegetative state. Tammy went into prayer mode and exercised her faith. She called out to God, “I believe in You, and I need a miracle.”
As she persevered in prayers, the situation miraculously changed. Her son not only made it through the night, his condition rapidly improved, contrary to the doctors’ predictions. Through God’s divine intervention her son became completely healed.
Today, Tammy is passionate about teaching on the power of prayer. In the church she co-pastors with her husband, they have a large wall of stones in the facility which is their prayer wall. It is filled with thousands of prayer requests wedged between the stones and they have recorded many amazing miraculous answers and speedy divine interventions.

As New Testament believers, God has given us access to tremendous power through prayer.
Most of the troubles we face in life emanates from the spiritual realm. Until you address the spiritual cause you can’t get to the cure. If you only deal with the fruits and bypass the root, you can’t get to the solution.
Life only becomes complicated if you ignore the keys that make it work. Prayer is a master key that can handle any issue of life. Prayer is earthly permission for Heavenly interference in our affairs. It is the means of contacting the spiritual realm for our earthly victory.
Our breaking forth to glorious dimensions this year will be the result of deliberately assuming spiritual responsibility on the altar of prayer. Through prayer you can fight your way into the fulfillment of prophecies.
As a child of God you can never be stranded.
Regardless of what you may be going through, Jesus Christ has already dealt with it at the Cross.
What you need to do is to enforce the victory He has won by engaging the power in His Blood in the place of prayer..
Therefore today, instead of worrying, fretting or being anxious over any issue, rejoice because your victory is guaranteed by the Blood of Jesus. Rather by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let us present our requests to God, knowing He will always answer us. (Philippians 4:6).

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the Blood of Jesus that guarantees my constant victory in every battle. By Your grace no force can hinder my breakthroughs or breaking forth to higher realms this year in Jesus Name.

Proverbs 22:29 ‘Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.’

It is interesting that the most prestigious universities in the world today were originally established as Christian institutions. Many of these schools were started centuries ago as Bible-proclaiming schools.
Harvard was named for a Christian minister, John Harvard. Yale was started by a group of ten Christian ministers led by the Reverend James Pierpont. Princeton was founded by revivalists of the great awakening as a place to train Gospel ministers.
Oxford which is the oldest university in the English-speaking world has strong Christian foundation.
Likewise, Cambridge University was established by Christian leaders and Saint Andrews, Scotland’s oldest university, was founded principally for the teaching and study of theology.
Also many of the best known colleges were founded by Bible-believing Christians. The aim and commitment of these Christian founders set the pace for the pursuit of excellence which has become hallmark of these institutions. Unfortunately today, many of these schools have abandoned their Christian worldview to embrace naturalistic philosophy, yet the fact remains that they are products of visionary Christians. The foundation of excellence laid by these Christian founders set the pace that has continued to distinguish these universities in the world and cause them to be highly sought after.

As Christians, excellence should be our hallmark because we serve the excellent God.
Isaiah 28:29 says that God is excellent in working.
Also Isaiah 12:5 says ‘Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.’
As children of God we have a responsibility to strive for excellence in all we do. We live in a world that responds to excellence. An excellent spirit will cause you to operate with diligence and professionalism which will attract attention and distinguish you. Therefore to break forth to extraordinary accomplishments this year we need an excellent spirit.
To enjoy uncommon breakthroughs we have to be intentional in our approach. While we handle spiritual barriers through prayers, we have to physically position ourselves for best opportunities through a display of excellence.
To stand out and get ahead you need to study, grow, and sharpen your skill set and refuse to have a mediocre attitude toward life in general.
The people in the Bible who affected their world were those who had the spirit of excellence.
Though Daniel was in captivity, he refused to live in mediocrity. He distinguished himself with an excellent spirit which caused him to be elevated in Babylon.
As Christians, when we live excellent lives it brings glory and honor to God.
Today, let us receive the grace for such display of excellence in our lives that the world will be attracted to the God we serve.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the grace to live a life of excellence. Please help me to do what is required of me to stand out this year and continually bring glorify to You at all times in Jesus’ Name

Psalm 127:1-3 ‘Except The Lord builds the house they labour in vain that build it. And except the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen watch but in vain.’.’

Ray Jenkins grew up in poverty in the projects of Detroit. He dropped out of school after the 8th grade and later joined the Navy where he worked as a cook. When he returned home from military service, Ray bought an old potato chip factory and went into business. He was determined to succeed and relied on his own efforts to see the business progress.
He put in all his time and energy into it, but the harder he worked, the worse things got financially. Eventually when his business went bankrupt, Ray felt devastated and resorted to drinking alcohol. One day, after drinking heavily, he started vomiting blood. When paramedics arrived they found he had lost 60 percent of his blood and was about to die. But his wife who was a God-fearing Christian prayed fervently for a miracle. On the way to the hospital, Ray died and his spirit left his body and he found himself heading to hell. As he became repentant of his sins, miraculously he felt his spirit return back into his body.
At the hospital he received several blood transfusions and eventually survived against all odds. After being discharged Ray made a definite decision to give God first place in his life and his affairs. Soon he began to see the tangible hand of God as he received new business ideas and sales soared to over 25 million bags of potato chips in one year.
Today, Ray Jenkin’s successful snack food company has continued to grow rapidly. In honor of God who turned his life and business around, on the back of each bag of potato chips, Ray prints his story, Scriptures and Gospel messages.

The biggest plus factor anyone can have in life is the God factor. It is the hand of God that elevates a man, not just his hard work.
Indeed except the Lord builds the house every man’s labour is in vain. It is only when we put God first that whatever we are building stands.
It is the blessing of the Lord, not ‘the sweat or struggles of man’ that makes rich. When we commit ourselves to diligently seek God’s Word and serve the interests of His Kingdom, then God commits Himself to opening up Heaven’s treasure to us. These includes prosperity, divine health, longevity, preservation of our children and families etc
In our journey to break forth to greater dimensions this year, we need God to take us further than our own strength or smartness could ever take us.
To achieve extraordinary results, we need divine input in our endeavors.
Only God knows the end from the beginning, and as we follow Him, He will guide us to our green pastures. With His help we will know the right path to take at every crossroad.
Though, you may have stepped out in obscurity this year, as you keep walking by faith in God’s Word, you will soon end up as a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. As you put God first, you can never be last and as you stand on His Word you can never fail.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your glorious plans to cause me to break forth to glorious dimensions. Please enable me to walk more intimately with You so I can soar to greater heights of destiny in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: Keep on moving forward, there is something much more for you. Your best is yet ahead of you.

Psalms 112:1-3 says ‘Blessed is the man that fears the Lord and delight greatly in God’s commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: his generation shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness shall endureth forever.’

Johann Blumhardt was born in 1805 to a poor and obscure family in Stuttgard, Germany. Early in his youth, it was revealed to him that his life would be used by God. So while growing up he had fear and reverence of God. At the age of 14 he passed the exam to study theology though a scholarship. There, he continued to deepen his relationship with God.
Few years after graduation, he took up a pastoral assignment in the small town of Möttlingen, in southern Germany.
As he fervently sought God, miracles and healings began to occur in his parish. Soon a revival broke out.
When his work at the parish was resisted by some church leaders and the government, Blumhardt left and started his own ministry in another town. Here, God’s power was again mightily displayed.
His ministry in healing and deliverance made the way for many to follow. Today, Johann Blumhardt is respected as a forerunner of the Divine Healing Movement in Germany.

Those used by God to spark revival in history are often men and women of extraordinary seriousness of purpose who fervently sought God until miracles erupted in their ministries.
Likewise for us to experience extraordinary results that will distinguish us in our generation, we need to fervently seek God.
There are spiritual barriers that keep men in obscurity, no matter how hard they work. To break forth supernaturally, requires divine connection to the power of God. This will happen when we make the choice to abide in the fear of God and to follow His Word. The fear of God positions us for exploits, progress and prosperity.
Psalms 112:1-3 says ‘Blessed is the man that fears the Lord and delight greatly in God’s commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: his generation shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness shall endureth forever.’

There is a place for hard work and smartness in our endeavors, but to see supernatural results, we certainly need God’s power. Every manifestation of glory is usually a product of deep spiritual preparation.
Let us today receive the grace to seek God with all our hearts so that by the mighty manifestations of His power we will break forth to higher dimensions of exploits.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always make the pursuit of Your will a great priority in my life. May my fear, love and reverence for You continue to grow deeper every day in Jesus Name.

2 Peter 1:3-4 ‘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 family was poor and at the age of 16 William left home to seek his fortune. The only thing he knew was how to make soap and candles. At 19 years old, he decided to start a business in that line, but it failed within a year and he had to close it down.
When William read in Genesis 28: 20-21, how Jacob made a vow to the LORD to faithfully pay tithe of his possessions; he made a similar vow to give God first place in his life, and give a tithe of his profits.
While William was in New York City in 1804, he worked as an apprentice in a soap-boiler. The first dollar he earned, he gave 10 percent to God.
At the close of his apprenticeship in 1806 William established a starch, soap and candle business in Manhattan, on Dutch Street.
The more he gave to the Lord, the more he prospered. William was also active in Church and served as a Deacon and donated large sums to Christian causes. William Colgate’s faithfulness in serving God and sowing into His Kingdom resulted in the establishment of his company globally. Today, the Colgate-Palmolive company dominates in the world’s cosmetic industry and is a major player in the global financial market.

Every child of God is a candidate for a glorious destiny because God has called us unto glory and virtue. However, it takes the key of knowledge of God’s Word to gain access to our divine inheritance. [2 Peter 1:3-4]
There are necessary steps to be followed before we can break forth to glorious new realms.
One of these steps is an understanding of our Kingdom financial responsibility.
Despite past setback and failures, when a man engages in Kingdom financial commitment, he will experience open Heavens in his endeavors.
Through the covenant of investing into God’s kingdom, we stay connected to a supply line that never runs dry and enjoy supernatural breakthroughs in life.
When we bring all the tithes into God’s store house, He blesses us overwhelmingly and stops the devourer from attacking our health, families, businesses, career etc [Malachi 3:10].
Circumstances in the world may change, and global economy may shake, but Heaven’s economy never fails. Indeed as long as we remain connected to God, we will prosper even in the desert. We will never see dryness because we are connected to the fountain of Living waters.
Today, let us determine to experience supernatural breakthroughs by sincerely serving God with our lives and also sowing into His kingdom. As we do, the Lord will cause us to break forth on every side and open up to us the hidden riches of secret places.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for causing me to truly break forth this year. I know that even right now You are already converting every breakdown into breakthroughs for me and giving me a divine turnaround in every area in Jesus Name. .

Psalms 75:6-7 “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”

At 30 years of age, Billy Graham seriously considered leaving the revival circuit. He felt greatly discouraged after having what he considered to be some failed revival meetings.
But before taking a final decision, Billy went on a spiritual retreat at Forest Home in the San Bernardino Mountains for a time of prayer and seeking God’s direction.
While there, he received the divine leading to continue preaching.
Shortly after this spiritual retreat, he was contacted by some Christian businessmen in Los Angeles to hold a three-week revival in the sprawling metropolis.
As the crusade started, somehow it came to the notice of Newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.
This very influential media mogul was not known to have any religious affiliations or interest in Christianity. But inexplicably, he decided to blow up news about Billy Graham’s crusade. He put out two words to all his newspaper editors in a famous telegram that instructed: “Puff Graham.”
This instruction from Randolph Hearst made Billy Graham to be put on the front page of newspapers across the country overnight.
Thereafter, the crusade became greatly advertised and resulted in such massive attendance that it was extended from 3 weeks to 8 weeks. Billy Graham started the crusade virtually unknown, but by the time it ended he had become a household name. Interestingly, Billy Graham and Randolph Hearst never met each other.

When God gets ready to promote you, He can suddenly break protocols to accelerate you to your next level.
God can use people you don’t know and circumstances you may not understand to catapult you from obscurity to notoriety.
There is really nothing too difficult for God to do in our lives. This is why we need to constantly seek His divine guidance and trust in Him with all our heart
As we seek God’s counsel through consistent study of the Word, prayers and fellowship with the Spirit, it is only a matter of time before we experience overflow of His blessings.
God can suddenly promote you to positions you never could have attained by yourself. Inexplicably and unfathomably, God will send help from least expected quarters and lift you to unexpected heights .
Today, you may not know the right people or have enough money or have the right qualifications, but the important thing is that you know God.
This is what positions you for exploits.
Therefore in this new month let us get ready for divine promotions that will cause us to break forth to higher dimensions.
Sudden breakthroughs, new opportunities and unmerited favor will begin to chase after us.
Because promotion comes from God alone, certainly our breaking forth this year will happen divinely through inexplicable miracles, signs and wonders.

PRAYER: Lord, I Thank You for the sudden change of story You are bringing about in my life. I thank You Lord, for doing exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name. .

Isaiah 54:2-3 ‘Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left;’

In 2017, Zach Williams appeared to be an overnight success to many. He seemingly burst out of nowhere to win a Grammy Award for his first Christian rock album.
Yet in reality, before Zach Williams’ sudden emergence to the limelight, he had spent about two decades toiling in obscurity in his musical career. He had suffered years of frustration, poverty and pain.
Zach grew up in a Christian home, where his father was a worship leader in the Church and his mom was in the worship team. But at age 15, he rebelled against his Christian upbringing, started experimenting with drugs and alcohol and set out to become a rock star. But he failed woefully in his musical career until he ended up with a miserable life. One day while on a music tour, Zach heard the song ‘Redeemed’ on the radio. He was so touched by the presence of God that he cancelled his next show, cancelled his whole tour and quit the band. He headed back home where he fell on his hands and knees in his bedroom floor and surrendered all to Christ.
As God took over his life, Zach began to experience real success. His first album ‘Chain Breaker’ was a resounding success as it soared to No. 1 on the Christian music charts and won a Grammy Award. His next album “Old Church Choir” in 2017, also reached the top of the Christian music charts. Williams made music history by having two consecutive No. 1 hits that stayed on top of the charts for 35 weeks. Since then he has continued to make more musical hits and win many awards.

Our breakthrough does not lie in our own strength, because by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9). Our breakthrough lies in our connection to the help of God, because through Christ we can do all things.
It is God’s plans to take us to greater levels of life, but we have to first get into agreement with Him.
When we make the decision to become wholly committed to God, then we will begin to experience the downpour of His favour.
In Isaiah 54:1-4, God tells us to lengthen our cords, which means to lengthen our reach and prepare for enlargement. As we come in alignment with His will, suddenly things will turn around and we will begin to bloom, to blossom, to flourish, grow and experience new opportunities.
As we come into this new month of February, through a fresh commitment to God, certainly every drought is coming to an end. If perhaps you have faced stagnation or lack of growth in any area, this is your time to break forth to glorious new dimensions.
Though you may have been in obscurity it is time to experience divine expansion. With God’s help, nothing you imagine for your life this year will be impossible. Certainly, it is our time to break forth out of mediocrity to global visibility and emerge as winners in our fields of endeavors..

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for bringing me into the new month of February today. By Your grace it is my month to go forward until I break forth and break through to glorious new dimensions in Jesus Name.

Psalm 118:17 ‘I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.’

Reverend Walter L. Shaw Jr. is a Gospel Radio Legend in the United States. He is an ordained minister of the Gospel, who uses his popular radio shows, on mainstream media, to point people to the truth.
For over forty nine years, he has fascinated millions of radio listeners with his unique blend of Christian faith, motivational and inspirational programs. His devotion to his faith is so strong that he refused to stop counseling his listeners to look to Jesus, even when it meant having his radio show removed from a Chicago radio station.
Some years ago, his faith became sorely tested when he was told by his doctors that he had kidney cancer and had a 70 percent chance of dying from the disease. Reverend Walter refused to receive the negative medical verdict and told the medical specialist “My God is going to save me. He’s going to use your knowledge of this disease, your abilities, your medical technology to save my life.”
Faithfully God showed up for him and contrary to the doctors’ verdict, he survived the surgery and afterwards was pronounced “cancer-free”. As he resumed his radio shows, he took a decision to serve God more with his life, and now also serves as an associate minister at first AME Church of Los Angeles.

It is certainly God’s plan for us to live and not die, so we can declare His works in the land of the living. It doesn’t matter how bleak any situation, God’s Word will always prevail.
The Word of God is the real influencer and game changer in any trial or temptation. Through faith in God’s Word, you can overcome every obstacle, you can climb over every mountain, and you can get out of every valley.
As we step out to do exploits this year, no doubt the enemy will attempt to limit our progress, but through the power in the Blood of Jesus, nothing can hinder our forward movement.
Especially, because we have spent time in fasting and praying to commit this year into God’s hands, we have become truly unstoppable.
Anyone or any force that tries to resist our breaking forth will fall for our sakes. Surely every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment shall be condemned. [Isaiah 54:17].
Therefore, let us make bold strides with confidence knowing that we have divine backing.
As we come to this last day of January, let us praise God for surrounding us with His Presence and His blessings. This is certainly our year to break forth on every side and our story this year, shall only be from glory to greater levels of glory.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for my victory through the Blood of Jesus. Truly, by the power in the Blood, I shall live and not die, to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living in Jesus Name

Psalms 34:10 ‘The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing’.

On February 19, 1969, 15-year-old David Oyedepo got saved through a missionary teacher named Betty Lasher. Immediately, he set about reading the Gospel and became fired up with the zeal to seek God above all else.
In 1973, as a 19 years old student, he was asked to take up a vacation job to relieve a teacher who was due for maternity leave. Soon the young Oyedepo travelled to Dumagi Village in Shonga LGA of Kwara State to begin his teaching assignment. The first thing he noticed when he got there was that there was no single church. He prayed and said, “Lord, let me never leave this village the same way I met it; Lord, put Your Name in this village.”
He immediately set about the task of evangelizing the people in the village and invested all the money he had towards erecting a local church building. At the end of his 70 days service, the elders in the new Church presented him with a parting gift of a bush lamp and said “Silver and gold we have not; but we give you this lamp. Let this light you brought to our village shine round the world.”
Indeed that gift and that speech ultimately proved to be prophetic. In 1999, the teenager who gave all he had to erect a village church, was used by God to raise the largest church auditorium in the world and in 2018 he was named by Forbes magazine as the world’s richest pastor.
Bishop David Oyedepo has often said that the secret of his prosperity is Matthew 6: 33, which says ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.’

Your life will be determined by your priorities.
What you put first in your thoughts, desires, and choices will affect how your life eventually turns out.
Matthew 6:33 should be the centerpiece of our lives. To truly break forth on every side and accomplish extraordinary feats, God and His kingdom must take first place in our hearts..
The truth is that nobody’s life will be any more glorious than His dedication to God.
Making God our greatest priority is the secret that will position us for divine favour and supernatural additions.
To truly break forth and achieve the level of success we desire this year, we need to be completely dependent upon God. Our advancement will not be by power nor by might, but by the help of the Spirit of God.
Solomon was the wealthiest king in his days, yet he didn’t labour to be rich, it was added to him because he sought God and the affairs of His Kingdom [2 Chronicles 1:11].
Serving God and the interest of His Kingdom as a lifestyle puts us in command of the good things of life.
Psalms 34:10 says ‘The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing’.
As we first seek God and the interest of His Kingdom, 2024 will be a year of uncommon testimonies, inexplicable breakthroughs and unlimited enlargement.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to make seeking You my greatest priority this year. As I pursue after Your Kingdom, I thank You for propelling me to greater heights of destiny in Jesus Name.

1 Chronicles 4:10 ‘And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.’

Jentezen Franklin is an American evangelical pastor, author and televangelist. He is the senior pastor of Free Chapel, and his ministry extends internationally through his televised broadcast, ‘Kingdom Connection’, which is seen on television networks across the world.
Very early in ministry, he discovered the power and the need for fasting. He learned this as a teenager when he participated in his very first fast. From then on, engaging in regular fasting and praying made a profound impact on his life and ministry. He was on a three-day fast when God called him to preach. As a young evangelist, he often traveled on preaching tours with his brother, who was a preacher. They would rotate their preaching nights. On Jentezen’s night off, he would fast all day for his brother and on his brother’s night off, he fasted all day for Jentezen.
Through engaging the power of prayer and fasting, they went from obscurity to the limelight as doors opened globally for them to preach the Gospel.
Today, Jentezen Franklin is a successful pastor whose televised broadcast, reaches about 2.3 billion viewers around the world.

Prayer is the turnaround trigger that changes destinies and expands territories.
In the genealogies of the Old Testament, there was a man called Jabez, who through prayer received the expansion of his territory.
The name of Jabez meant “trouble, sorrow, heartache.” But Jabez refused to accept the name he had been given and desired a change of destiny from God.
1 Chronicles 4:19 says Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, Lord, bless me indeed and expand my territory. Keep Your hand on me,”
The Bible says “And God granted him what he requested.”
God blessed him and gave him a change of story.
We learn from Jabez that crying out to God in prayer will lead to great breakthroughs.
Therefore, having taken the time to call upon God in fasting and praying at the beginning of this year, we can expect divine expansion and breaking forth on every side.
Just as Jabez prayed and God turned around his situation and enlarged his territory, so shall it be for us. We are going to experience the reversal of every negative situation.
God says when we call upon Him, He will show us great and mighty things. Since we have called upon Him, let us look forward to seeing great and mighty things this year. In expectation, let us begin to praise God for what He is set to do.
Certainly, it is our time to break forth into expanded territories, greater influence and unprecedented opportunities throughout this year!

PRAYER: Lord, I am grateful that You have heard my prayers in this season. I thank You for the great opportunities, big ideas, amazing breakthroughs that are lined up for me this year in Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: Whenever God places a demand on you, He is only positioning you to receive more from Him.
WORDBITE 222.
