In 1991, Folorunsho Alakija faced an impossible situation. Though a successful fashion designer, she had recently ventured into oil business, only to be met with great frustrations. For five years, she had been struggling unsuccessfully to get an oil exploration license. After many doors had been slammed in her face and it looked like she would never get the license she then decided to turn to Jesus for help.
Though she had been a practicing Muslim from birth, at forty years of age, Folorunsho Alakija surrendered her life to Christ.
She then made a covenant with God, telling Him that if He would help her to succeed, she would serve Him for the rest of her life. After this, things began to dramatically change.
Months later, her company, Famfa Oil, was granted the greatly sought after exploration license. Not only that, she began to see God’s hand in amazing ways.
The oil block she was given by the government was one that nobody wanted, because it was deep offshore. At a depth of 5,000 feet, it would be too expensive to explore and expected to yield little oil. She could have given up, but as she continued to seek God through prayers, a foreign oil company came along to partner with her and carry out the exploration. Surprisingly, against alll expectations, they found oil in large commercial quantities.
The announcement of this major oil find in Alakija’s block attracted the attention of the government who promptly took the greater percentage of the stakes, leaving her with only 10%.
Against the general belief that no one could win a legal battle against the government, Alakija engaged them in a 12 year legal battle. She eventually won and her 60% shareholding was returned back to her.
Her success in oil business made her to become one of the richest women in the world.
Knowing that all her success came from God who has faithfully kept His part of the covenant, today, Alakija strives to keep her own part as she dedicates her life to serving God as an ordained minister of the Gospell and impacting lives through philanthropy.

Indeed Alakija’s story reflects God’s faithfulness to keep covenant when we turn to Him for help.
A sincere covenant with God can lift a person out of any pit to the topmost places in life. It can change anyone’s story and turn around any captivity.

In 2 Chronicles 15, the children of Israel were beset with troubles. But when they entered into a covenant to seek God with all their heart, God turned things around for them and gave them rest round about.

Truly we serve the covenant-keeping God who is faithful to do what He says He will do
Several times in the Scriptures, God entered into covenant with Israel in order to bring them help and deliverance.
Anytime Israel kept their part of the agreement to serve God sincerely, He would always give them the victory over their enemies.
The decision to fully return to God is what engages His miraculous help in our affairs.
The promises of God always come with conditions.
And if we want to see the manifestation of the promise, then we must fulfill our part.

Exodus 23:25–26 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. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.’
Our part in this covenant is “You shall serve the Lord your God.” Therefore when we fulfill the covenant obligation to serve God, we can expect His promised blessings to come upon us.
Therefore in this season, as we sincerely seek God through obedience, let us expect to see supernatural overflow in our lives.
Every dryness will be converted to fruitfulness and we will prosper even in the desert.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says that when we seek God with all our heart, He will be found of us and will turn away our captivity.
Therefore as we enter into a fresh covenant to seek God sincerely, He will honor His covenant and indeed turn every captivity in our lives.
Every sickness and weakness will be turned around to health and new strength.
In the place of frustration God will bring forth joy and laughter. We shall dip our feet in oil and truly eat of the fatness of the earth.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to fulfill the conditions set forth in Your Word for me, so that I can receive the blessings You have promised. I thank You Lord, for speed and progress and supernatural overflow of your blessings in my life in Jesus Name.

1 Corinthians 2:9 ‘But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him;’

DAILY READING – • Mark 12:28-44; 1 Kings 4-5; Hosea 7:3-16

In 2010, a 3000 years old palatial building was discovered by an American archaeological team in the city of Gezer.
This monumental building dated back to the 10th century BC, the era associated with King Solomon, who is famed for bringing wealth and stability to the kingdom of Israel and Judah. The archaeological team also found a layer featuring Philistine pottery, lending credence to the Biblical account of philistines living in the city until being vanquished by King David.
The complex featured a large central courtyard like contemporary palace. It also had defensive walls.
According to the archaeologists, this discovery appears to validate the Bible’s account which says Solomon, king of Israel, built a defensive wall in Jerusalem. The new discovery is the first archaeological evidence of this structure.
Indeed King Solomon built many structures during his time and the crowning achievement of his reign was the erection of the magnificent Temple in Jerusalem. King Solomon’s temple has been estimated to be the most expensive building in human history! Its total cost is well over half a billion dollars! This is an unimaginable cost for one house. But if it appears extravagant, it is perhaps a reflection of king David’s love for God because before his death, King David lavishly and extravagantly prepared the materials for this building. It was David’s desire and longing to build the most expensive and most magnificent temple for the Lord. [1 Chronicles 29:3].

King Solomon and king David were distinguished in their generations because of their love for God.
king David especially, served God with such deep love that God called him a man after His own heart.
David’s love for God made him to end up as a trans-generational celebrity, immortalized in history.

As believers we are expected to embrace a “God-first lifestyle”. This means loving God with all our heart, soul and mind (Matthew 22:36-40).
Such a lifestyle will cause us to always give God the first place in all our considerations.

God takes the issue of love seriously. No matter what we do in His kingdom, if it is not done because of our love for Him, it has no value to God.

1 Corinthians 13;1-4 says ‘If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.’

Love for God must be the source of our service to Him. When we truly love God, we can go to any length and extent for Him.
We cannot say we love God and yet be unwilling to pay the price to follow His laws and His ways.

Jesus said in John 14 ’he that keeps my commandment, he it is that loves Me.’ and ’if a man say he loves Me and keeps not my commandment he does not love Me’.

Our love for God is manifested in our obedience to His Word. To serve God, we must seek to know Him in His Word.
Through studying His Word, we come to know His deeds, His nature and character.
This results in an intimate relationship where we serve Him from a standpoint of love.
And for those who truly love God, the Bible promises in 1 Corinthians 2:9 ‘But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him;’

Indeed when we truly love God, He will turn us into a wonder to the world..
As we give Him first place in our hearts, He will give us the best places in life

PRAYER: Lord please grant me the grace to love You with all my heart. Please grant me fresh appetite for Your Word so that I can get to know You more and obey You always in Jesus Name.

2 Timothy 3:12 “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution”

DAILY READING; Mark 12:1-27; 1 Kings 3; Hosea 6:1-7:2

Open Doors, is an international organization that monitors Christian persecutions around the world.
On their annual World Watch list of countries where Christians face the greatest persecutions, North Korea was number 1 for twenty years.
But in 2021, Afghanistan replaced North Korea as the most dangerous country for Christians in the world..

Prior to 2001, the Taliban’ had ruled in Afghanistan with very strong persecution against Christians.
But with the fall of the Taliban in 2001, and the occupation of U.S soldiers, many Afghan Christians became emboldened and some even began openly including their religion on national identity cards.
But after the recent U.S withdrawal from Afghanistan, and return of the Taliban’s rule, persecution of Christians has greatly spiked, heightened by the Taliban’s strict version of Sharia law.
Punishment for being a Christian includes public executions. This situation has led many Afghan Christians to flee the country..
Yet, there are some Christians who had opportunity to flee but deliberately chose to stay back in Afghanistan. Despite the great danger, an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 Christians still remain in Afghanistan, a country of about 38 million people.
These Christians believe that God wants a Church in Afghanistan and He has a plan for them to stay on in the country and continue to preach the Gospel regardless of the persecutions.

It is easy to wonder why these Christians would decide to stay back in such a hostile place.
Perhaps it is for the same reasons why past missionaries stayed in heathen nations to evangelize them, knowing it may cost their lives. And indeed many of them died in foreign fields, so that the heathen could hear the Gospel.

Truly, the Christian life is that of deadly dedication no matter the cost.
Christians who live in persecuted countries understand this best.
They draw their examples from the early Church, many of whom willingly laid down their lives for the sake of the Gospel.
The courage and deadly dedication of these Christians should greatly challenge us and make us relentless in our commitment to obey God.
While we may not face extreme physical persecutions, yet in our daily lives we are often confronted by spiritual persecutions from the enemy as he tempts and tries to get us to compromise our faith.
Despite the temptation or persecution, we must always remain faithful and continue to choose to please God in every situation. As we do, surely, God will give us double for all our troubles.
Indeed as we keep focusing on honoring God, we will see His abundant blessings. Whatever the enemy meant for evil, God will keep turning it all around to our advantage.
In conclusion, let us always remember to pray for the Christians around the world who daily face persecutions and yet exhibit great courage under fire.
Certainly, despite all the attacks of the enemy, the Church of Christ will continue to march forward in victory and the gates of hell shall never prevail against it.

PRAYER Lord please grant me the grace and strength to live a life that pleases You no matter how difficult it may seem. May I continue to uphold the truth of Your Word and stand in faith no matter the oppositions I may face in Jesus Name.

Isaiah 41:10 ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’

DAILY READING – Mark 11:15-33; 1 Kings 2; Hosea 5:5-15

Pastor John Hagee is a globally known Televangelist. He is the founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church, in San Antonio, Texas.
In the beginning years of his ministry, in the early1990’s, he began holding a series of crusades. One of these was a major crusade held in Los Angeles where more than 1500 people came to Christ in two nights.
But the whole program proved to be far more expensive than Hagee had calculated and it ended up gulping the money meant as payment for their Television program. This financial setback greatly threatened to cripple his Television ministry.
As John Hagee pondered what to do, he decided to call his mother, a woman of great faith. When he told her the situation, she assured him that there was no need to worry. She said since the money spent on the Crusade had been used for the Lord’s cause, it was the Lord’s bill which He would certainly pay.
She then prayed for a financial miracle.
Two days later, John Hagee got one of the strangest calls he had ever gotten in his life. A man on the other end of the phone told him he was not a Christian and did not like TV preachers. But he said he saw Hagee preaching on TV the night before and felt people needed to hear what he was saying. And for that reason he was going to send him some help.
Hagee thought, he must be drunk.
When the man went on further to say that he would send him a million dollars, Hagee became certain that he was really drunk. He then hung up the phone and forgot about the conversation.
However, two days later, he received an envelope addressed to him. He opened it and found inside it a check for one million dollars. When he enquired from his bank, he was told that the man who had sent the Cheque was indeed a multimillionaire.
From this incident, John Hagee learned the important lesson that indeed God was able to take care of His bills.

We must never limit what God can do in our lives.
When you are faced with intimidating situations always remember that the greater One lives in you and He is able to help you overcome every hurdle of life.

In Isaiah 41:10 God says ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’

Certainly, when God is with us we will not need to fear or become dismayed. He is able to handle whatever comes our way.
Let us therefore not become intimidated by any financial constraint or other limitations, rather let us trust that God is able to amaze us with supernatural overflow.
There is no situation God cannot turn around. There is no night so dark, His light cannot penetrate.
In situations where you don’t know what to do, always trust that God knows what to do. Just turn over the battle to Him through prayer and thanksgiving.
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask, think or imagine. No matter what happens, God has it all under control. He has a plan and a purpose. And as long as we are sincere in following Him, He will certainly take of us.
However, to enjoy His divine provision, we need to align with God’s vision and guidance. We must understand that God has a purpose He wants to accomplish on earth. He will take care of us when we are walking and working in accordance with His divine purpose and plan.
So, to enjoy divine provision, we must follow the vision God has for our lives. The problem is that many people are doing their own things and expecting God to still take care of them. Many times, God out of mercy will take care of them. But it is important that before we venture into anything, we first seek counsel from God and ensure He is the one leading us into it. When we let God be the One guiding us, then He also takes the responsibility for our provision.
As long as you are walking in God’s divine will, you don’t need to fret or bother about how provisions will come. Just keep looking unto Jesus. Keep looking to the Word of God and maintain your praise.
Just stay in faith and keep giving glory to God for the great and mighty things He is set to do in your life.
Certainly, in this month of March, it is our season to experience speedy accomplishments and enjoy an overflow of divine abundance in all endeavors.

PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to meditate constantly on Your Word so that my heart can be filled with the faith I need to believe You for supernatural overflow. By Your grace what looks impossible to men will become possible in my life in this season in Jesus Name. .

DAILY READING;
Mark 10:32-52; 2 Samuel 24, Hosea 4.

The book ‘Rees Howells: Intercessor’ by Norman Grubb is an account of the life of one of the greatest intercessors in the 20th century.
Rees Howell enjoyed miraculous divine provisions in his walk with God
One of those times was when Rees received a vision to go and spread revival in a region in Africa.
When the time of departure arrived, after all other expenditures, he and his wife had only ten shillings left.
This money was not enough to enable them to buy tickets to London, from where they would board a ship to Africa. Yet, they trusted in God to provide.
Stepping out in faith, they bought a train ticket as far as the ten shillings could take them, which was twenty miles to the town of Llanellia.
Though some friends escorted them on the train trip to Llanelli, the Howells never told anyone of their need.
At Llanelli’s train station, Rees felt the Holy Spirit asking him to queue up at the booking office to buy tickets to London.
Though he had no money at all, yet he obeyed and stood in a queue of about 12 people. As it drew closer to his turn, the devil kept filling his mind with doubts, telling him he was about to grossly embarass himself since he had no money. But Rees stood in faith, believing God for a miracle. When there were only two men before him, one of the men suddenly stepped out of the queue and said he could no longer wait. He then pressed thirty shillings into Rees’ hand before leaving.
This money was enough for Rees to pay for the tickets.
After that, as if on cue, the friends who came with them to the train station also began to give them money gifts. Suddenly, from having nothing, Rees and his wife now had more than enough money for their journey.
This miracle was only a foretaste of what the Lord would do for them in the African mission field. There they saw greater miracles and experienced amazing revival in their missionary work..

Sometimes we may worry about how we are going to get through certain situations, but we have to learn to trust in God’s divine provision. God is not limited in how He will provide. He can raise help for you from unexpected quarters. God can use even strangers to favor you.

God is a father; who truly loves us and cares for us more than we can ever care for ourselves. This is why Peter said ‘Cast all your anxiety upon Him for He cares for you.’
No matter how urgent the need, always trust that God is moving supernaturally in your favour and your expectation shall not be cut short.
Just as the ravens fed prophet Elijah, God can use unconventional ways to meet your needs. The ravens did not come by chance, God commanded them to come to the prophet’s aid.

When God’s sends you on an assignment, you don’t have to worry about how your provisions will come. God can command blessings for you from any direction.

Jesus told His disciples to take no purse for your journey, because the provision will come as you pursue the vision.
You don’t have to have enough money before you strike out in doing what God has called you to do. . Faithful is He that called you who also will do it. What God has ordered He is able to pay for.
When we sincerely seek His kingdom first, He ensures divine additions and miraculous provisions follow us.
Therefore today, trust that, whatever is due you shall not be denied you. And though you may sometimes go through the fire and through water, God will eventually bring you into a wealthy place. Even right now, there is a shift taking place in your circumstances. Everything that has been a set-back and a hindrance is about to turn around for your good.
God will send supernatural overflow in your direction and cause blessings to chase you down. Doors of breakthrough will suddenly open up to you.
Where there was dryness you will experience overwhelming fruitfulness, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to you.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your miraculous provisions in my life. I know that even right now You are causing my cup to run over and exceeding all my expectations in Jesus Name. .

In the world’s oceans lies treasures worth trillions of dollars.
This is because Ocean waters around the world contain about 20 million tons of gold in them. Each liter of water contains approximately 13 billionths of a gram of gold.
The total amount of these gold is estimated to be worth roughly $771 trillion.
If compared to the world domestic product of $78.28 trillion in 2014, it would almost be 10 times the entire world’s domestic product for that year.
But while so much wealth is available in the world’s oceans, unfortunately, it is very difficult to access them. These concentration of gold can not easily be panned.
It would involve greatly complicated, expensive methods and monumental tasks to be able to extract the gold from seawater.
Despite the great researches and studies done by investors, there’s still currently no cost-effective method to remove the gold from the oceans and still make profits.
It would require great funds, equipment, time and tireless search.
Yet, hopeful investors have remained persistent and tireless in their quest, believing that one day they will find the knowledge that will show them easier and profitable methods to extract the massive treasures lying in the world’s oceans.

The treasures of life are in the deep and it takes the key of knowledge to unlock them..
Spiritually,. there are treasures of supernatural abundance available to us, but they are only accessible when we are willing to pay the price of knowledge.
All the provisions we need in life are available, but we can only have them through the knowledge of God.

2 Peter 1:3 says ‘According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him”

The level of our knowledge of God determines the level of inheritance we can enjoy.
Supernatural overflow, breakthroughs, prosperity, divine health etc, are all available.
But they are stored up in the depth of God’s Word.
in Luke 5, Peter had laboured all night without a catch. But Jesus said to him ‘launch out into the deep and let down your net for a draught’

When Peter obeyed and launched out into the deep, he experienced a net breaking catch.

Peter’s labour in the dark could be likened to labouring without the light of knowledge.
Truly, the greatest problem of this age is spiritual ignorance. But through the revelation of God’s Word, all frustrations, and weeping comes to an end

In Revelation 5:4-5, Apostle John wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book. Then one of the elders told him ‘Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof..’

The opening of the book is what brings an end to every weeping.
Jesus shed His Blood to stop tears and frustrations and enable us to live in abundance and blessings.

Revelation 5:12 says Jesus was slain to receive for us power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Certainly, through His Blood, Jesus has made available to us the grace we need to live in all sufficiecy, and abound to every good work.
In this month of March, as we seek greater knowledge of His Word, surely, we shall gain access to Heavenly treasures.
Abundance, divine health, favour, fruitfulness and supernatural overflow shall be our portion in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Father please open my eyes to behold the wonders and treasures in Your Word. Thank You Lord for causing me to walk in supernatural overflow in all my endeavors in Jesus’ Name.

The city of Almolonga in Guatemala, used to be known for poverty, paganism, violence and alcoholism. Trash and waste covered the streets; and crime was so rampant that all four city jails could not contain the increasing number of prisoners.
However, a powerful move of God led to the amazing transformation of this city.
In 1974 a local pastor named Mariano Riscajche, felt led to begin praying for a change. He and a small group of intercessors fasted, prayed and fought against the darkness, principalities and powers hovering over the city.
They faced intense resistance, and a lengthy spiritual battle due to the rampant idol worship. But through the Name of Jesus, the pastor and his group of intercessors conquered the demonic forces holding the people bound.
As they continued to preach the Word, many people began to abandon idol worship and burned their witchcraft paraphernalia. Miraculous transformations swept through the region and Christians multiplied.
The four city jails that overflowed with prisoners now became completely shut down due to a record low crime rate. Though only 3% of the population used to be born-again Christians, the number now rapidly grew to more than 90%.. From deep poverty, the city began to enjoy accelerated progress and prosperity.
This radical transformations captured the attention of journalists and scientists around the world. Today, Almolonga has come to be known as “The Miracle City,”.

Definite progress came to Almolonga when the pastor and his team began to engage the power of God. It certainly takes power to break through the camp of the enemy.
It took a great display of God’s power for the Israelites to move from Egypt to their Canaan.
No one experiences progress in life without the application of power. Science tells us that every object remains in a state of inertia until an external force is applied to it.
Today, we have come into the new month of March, which is our season to march forward. However, it will take deliberately engaging God’s power for us to see our desired speed and progress.

Through His death at the Cross, Jesus gave us the power to spiritually re-organize our circumstances.
The power in His Blood is ordained for the supernatural restoration of our redemptive dignity. By the Blood, we are revived to live a life of glory and not of shame. By it we are translated from failure to success, from sickness to health, from weakness to power.
Therefore, today, in whatever area you may feel grounded or oppressed, you can enforce a change by connecting to the power of God through diligent study of the Word, fervent prayers and praise..

Jesus became a curse for us, that we might experience a blessed new life (Galatians 3:13-14).
As we come into this new month of March, let us determine to walk in the power and glory Christ won for us..
No more redudancy, stagnancy or delay.
Perhaps in January and February you were taxing down the runway, but now it is time to soar to greater spiritual heights and be seated in Heavenly places with Christ, far above principalities and powers.
Certainly, it is our season to march in victory and dominion over lifes circumstances.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the new season You have brought me into. Indeed by Your grace, I am soaring higher into great and glorious heights this month in Jesus Name.

Renowned cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall is a Christian who uses faith to see miracles in his medical profession.
One of the amazing miracles that brought Dr. Chauncey into public limelight was the story of Jeff Markin.
One morning in October 2006, Jeff was driving to work, when he began to feel grossly unwell. He immediately headed to a hospital in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Just as he walked into the emergency room, he collapsed from a massive heart attack.
As the supervising cardiologist in the hospital, Dr. Chauncey Crandall led a team that shocked Jeff repeatedly several times with defibrillator paddles, but there was no response. Jeff was eventually declared dead and as a nurse prepared his body for the morgue, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, headed on to the next patient.
But before he crossed the door, he heard God telling him to turn around and pray for the dead man. He wanted to ignore that voice, but as he kept walking, the voice came back again and said, ‘Turn around and pray for that man.’
At this point Dr. Chauncey stopped and decided to obey and walked back inside the room to the side of the dead body. Despite the embarrassing and incredulous looks of the other medical personnel, he began to pray to God to raise up the dead man.
After praying, Dr. Crandall then asked the ER physician to shock the patient one more time with the defibrillator. The physician reluctantly obeyed. But as he did, a perfect heartbeat appeared on the monitor.
The medical team could not believe it! Miraculously, God had raised Jeff Markin from the dead.
As a result of this miracle, Jeff later became a Christian and remains alive and healthy today. Dr. Crandall, experienced worldwide recognition as the story went viral on social media. He has continued to see more miracles in his medical profession as he walks in obedience to God’s voice.

Despite how dead any situation, the voice of the Lord can turn things around.
In 1 Kings 44, there was drought, dearth and dryness in the land, yet in that dead situation, the Lord told Elijah, that there was coming an abundance of rain.
Elijah, sent his servant out seven times to look for signs of rain, never once doubting God’s promise. On the seventh time the rains began to fall.
Hearing from the Lord is our greatest asset in life.
Through the voice of the Lord, any dead situation can be revived and every closed case can be reversed.
Even, if it seems like all hope is lost, instead of rushing to give up, let’s seek the Lord to hear His voice.
To experience miracles, we need to focus less on what we see and focus more on what we hear from the Lord.
Probably, why Elijah put his head in between his knees, as he prayed, was to shut out the contrary sights and sounds around him. Though the ground was dry, the grasses were dead and animals were dying because of the long drought, yet he took up a birthing position, determined to bring forth God’s counsel.
If you’re going to birth what God has put on your inside, then you have to shut outside voices and noises. You have to be a man of the spirit who walks by faith and not by sight.
You may look ridiculous, but you will soon birth the miraculous.
In this season of revival and open Heavens, do not allow outside circumstances make you doubt God’s Word. The fight of faith demands tenacity, consistency and endurance. You need to be resilient even when you don’t see any evidence. Even if outside circumstances seem to contradict what God is saying, let your slogan be ‘Let God be true and every man and devil be a liar.’ Certainly, if God has said it, then He would do it.
Outside situations may be telling you that it’s too late, you’re too old, you’re too broke, it can’t happen, but listen rather to what God is saying to you in His Word.
In Isaiah 43:19, God says He will do a new thing. He says He will make a way in the wilderness, and cause rivers to run in the desert.
Certainly, in the valley of dry and dead bones, God can bring forth life and raise a mighty army. In the place of sickness and drought, God can send forth a downpour of health and blessings.
But this will happen when we take time to listen in the Word and hear what the Lord says. Truly one Word from the Lord can change our lives forever.

PRAYER: Lord please help me to always focus on what is written in your Word, rather than on what is happening around me. Thank You Lord, for working in my life to revive every dead area in Jesus Name. .

John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church, was one of England’s greatest spiritual leaders. He played a major role in the 18th-century revival in England.
Though he was small in physical size, Wesley was a spiritual giant who burned with the zeal to bring multitudes into God’s kingdom.
He traveled the length and breadth of England, preaching, during an age when roads were often only muddy ruts.
Some of the times, preaching was not easy as he often met crowds that were hostile. Once a bull was let loose in an audience he was addressing.
Yet none of the hostilities and oppositions could stop Wesley from pressing forward in his call. He was determined to declare the whole counsel of God, warning men of the dreadful consequences of sin and leading them to salvation..
He dealt with the hindrances to his ministry through prayers. Wesley was known for his lifestyle of fasting and prayers. He would rise up at 4 am every day to seek God for the first four hours of the day.
As he persevered spiritually, soon the power of God that manifested through his ministry, silenced the naysers.
The manifestations of healings, signs and wonders drew people to the Gospel and brought many to repentance..
Wesley marched through cities, preaching, teaching, pleading, and warning men to make peace with God while there was still time.
In all, it is estimated he traveled 226,000 miles in his ministry and preached 46,000 times.
A man of extraordinarily health, he remained active to the end of his life, preaching his final sermon at an open-air meeting just 4 months before his death on March 2, 1791, in London.
Today, tens of millions of people are part of the Christian faith because of the work of Wesley.

With recent escalation of hostilities in Eastern Europe, the world seems poised for a third world war.
We should not be surprised because the Bible has already predicted that towards the time of the end there would be wars and rumours of wars.
The truth is that things are gradually coming to a climax on earth. And for every believer, it can no longer be Christianity as usual, we must do whatever is required to reach the world for Christ while there is still time..
All over the world we can see end-time predictions of the Bible being fulfilled before our very eyes.
In these last days, it is God’s plan that we position ourselves to be used to usher as many souls as possible into His kingdom..
We just have a narrow window of opportunity to fulfill the great commission before every door, finally shuts permanently. Let us not therefore squander the grace available to us at this hour.
Let us do all we should, while we still can, to preach the Word of life to a dying world.

In Mark 16, Jesus commanded us to go into the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. It is not an option, it is a commandment. It means we are mandated to preach to every one we can while we can.
To this end, there is a need for us to grow spiritually because we can’t give what we don’t have. We must be revived before we can revive others. We must be on fire before we can ignite the world.
Let us therefore today, receive the grace for renewed fire on our prayer altar, diligent study of God’s Word and unbroken fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Whatever we do, wherever we go, let us keep burning with the fire and fervency of the Gospel. Let us keep shinning the light of Christ into the world to draw men into God’s kingdom. As we do this, God promises to establish us as stars that will shine forever. (Daniel 12:3)

PRAYER; Lord, Please enable me to obey the great commission and preach the Gospel with boldness. Please grant me renewed appetite for Your Word, so that I will always burn with the fervency and zeal to spread the Gospel wherever I go in Jesus Name.

The miracles that occurred in Charles Parham’s ministry are too numerous to record. Multiplied thousands found salvation, healing and deliverance.
Yet, this great ministry almost never took off, because Charles Parham became weary at some point.
From early childhood, it seemed Parham’s life moved from one trouble to another.
When only six months, he was stricken with a fever that left him bedridden. And then for the next five years of his life, he was plagued with dramatic spasms. At the tender age of seven, his mother died and by nine years old he contracted inflammatory rheumatism. The strong medications he had to take destroyed the lining of his stomach causing his growth to become stunted for a while. However, despite all these afflictions, Parham had an early awareness of God. At the tender age of nine years, he felt God call him to ministry and so he began to prepare himself by studying God’s Word and praying.
When he entered college at age sixteen, Parham had every intention of entering the ministry. But perhaps, wearied by the many trials he had already faced, Parham eventually abandoned his ministry calling and began to backslide.
However as he pursued a medical course in the college he soon contracted rheumatic fever. After suffering for months, a doctor pronounced him close to death.
In that dying moment Parham began to call upon God in repentance.
As he accepted to fully follow God’s will for his life, he became healed.
Parham immediately entered into full time ministry and held his first evangelistic meeting at the age of eighteen. From then on, there were extraordinary manifestations of power in his ministry. Charles F. Parham would become a key figure in the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century and was known as the ‘father of the Pentecostal’ Movement.

Sometimes, we don’t recognize that there’s grace over our lives because of the many battles we have to fight. But the presence of trouble does not mean the absence of the Lord.
When God calls you to an assignment, He is also there to see you through.
As long as Jesus is in your boat, no matter how terrible the storm, you will surely get to the other side.
This is why we must not get weary or stop our journey half way.
Jesus is called the author and the finisher of our faith. What He begins in us He is also able to accomplish. Indeed what He ‘Alphas’ in our lives, He is also able to ‘Omega’ it.
He not only gives us the grace to start, He also gives us the grace to finish.
Tests and trials are only life’s examinations that every serious believer must pass through at some point.
Though, it can be tempting to give in to weariness and choose to follow the “easier” path of compromise, we can always count on God’s sufficient grace to carry us through. God’s grace begins where our ability ends.

2 Corinthians 12:9, says “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness…”

The word “sufficient” means adequate for every scenario.
This means that there’s no situation in our lives that grace can’t handle.
It doesn’t matter how formidable the trouble, God is able to make all grace abound towards you, so that you having all sufficiency in all things might be able to overcome.
Though you may sometimes go through fiery trials, as long as you remain connected to the Fountain of living waters, your leaf will not wither. You will keep growing from strength to strength.
Come hell or high water, you will surely emerge triumphant.
If the odds seem against you, do not try to go on your own strength, rather tap into God’s sufficient grace through prayer, worship and study of the Word.
Indeed when we rely on God’s grace, that is when we are at our strongest.
Today, if you are being tempted with discouragement, always remember that the greater One lives in you.
Regardless of what you’re going through, stand your ground and do not compromise.
Let the Word of God be your strength and standard. When you maintain a consistent prayer, worship and study life, there will be hidden strength within you.
Through the faith that comes from the Word you will certainly, always overcome the world.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to tap into Your sufficient grace through spending quality time in fellowship with You.
No matter any difficulty I may face, I know that surely by Your grace I will always overcome in Jesus Name.
