Luke 15:22-24 ‘But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’

DAILY READING James 1; Jeremiah 21-22; Psalm 129

One of the most important moments in Jewish history is the 587 BC Siege of Jerusalem. It changed Jewish history forever.

Due to the disobedience of the Jews, God prophesied through Jeremiah that the people would be carried captive into Babylon where they would serve king Nebuchadnezzar for 70 years, then after that He would bring restoration to them.
The historical account of events unfolded exactly as God had said.
Nebuchadnezzar came and not only conquered Jerusalem, but virtually destroyed the city. The Temple of Solomon was raided and burnt to the ground in a fire that lasted for days.
The Jews were taken captive and sent into exile to Babylon, a land of idolatry.

During these 70 years of captivity, Daniel began to pray to God asking for forgiveness for his people [Daniel 9].
In answer God brought fulfillment to His word and began by destroying their captors.
Now the destruction of Babylon could not have been humanly predicted because Babylon at that time, was the crown jewel of the Assyrian empire. It was the epitome of religion and culture in the ancient middle east and was seemingly indestructible.
But according to history, King Cyrus of Persia attacked Babylon and the great city of Babylon fell suddenly in one night [Jeremiah 51: 8].
After Cyrus had destroyed Babylon, he freed the Jews to go back to their homeland. This happened 70 years after their captivity, just as God had prophesied through Jeremiah.
King Cyrus also restored to them the treasures that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Jewish temple when he destroyed Jerusalem. Thus the people had enough wealth as they left back to their homeland to rebuild the temple.

It was when the children of Israel repented and turned back to God, that He brought deliverance and restoration to them.
Indeed God is full of love and mercy. Whenever we stray He is ever ready to receive us back. When we understand the love of the Father instead of running from Him when we sin, we should rather run to Him. He is ever ready to forgive and to restore us back, as long as we return back to him. God desires that we turn back from rebelling against His Word and walk in obedience to His will, so that He can judge the things afflicting us.

2 Corinthians 10:6 says ‘God is in readiness to revenge all disobedience when our obedience is fulfilled’

It is indeed God’s desire to restore us to His destined place of glory once we can retrace our steps back to Him.
After wasting and squandering all his inheritance, the Prodigal Son returned home, broke and a mess. All he wanted was to be received as a servant by his father. But the moment he asked for forgiveness, his father called for the best robe, the fattest cow, the best shoes, and a ring of authority and restored him to his rightful place as his son.
Likewise, the moment you can return back to the Father, no matter what you may have lost in life, God will restore you back.
If you come under His corrective hand through disobedience, if you repent, He will reinstate you to a place of blessing.
Even the wasted years, God will restore back to you.
The only thing that separates men from experiencing God’s best is disobedience. God has said that when we obey Him we will spend our days in prosperity and pleasure.
The consequence of disobedience is man suffers losses in his health, finances, relationships and in every other area of life.
Indeed sin is a separator between man and God.
Isaiah 51:9 says ‘Behold The Lord’s hand is not shortened that He cannot save neither His ear heavy that it cannot hear but your iniquities have separated between you and your God..’

Truly two cannot walk together except they be agreed.
Therefore today, let us make the decision to truly and fully return back to God and begin to live in obedience to His every Word. By The Help of the Holy Spirit let us receive the grace to live a life totally pleasing to God. As we do, God will not only restore us, but He will also arise to destroy every enemy of our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to constantly live a life that glorifies You in every way. Thank You Lord, for granting me the grace to get rid of anything displeasing to you in my life so that I can experience my long awaited deliverance in Jesus Name.

Dr. John Gibson Paton is known as a foremost Scottish missionary to the New Hebrides Islands of the South Pacific.
During the course of his ministry, he was often invited to preach in Australia. Travelling in Australia at that time, in the 19th century, was rather difficult, and Dr. John Paton encountered many hardships.
One day, he had an appointment that was nine miles away and there was no train transportation and no horse could be hired. So he started out on foot, carrying a heavy bag with him. As night grew closer, he trudged on, his bag growing heavier all the time. At length he met some men and asked for direction to his preaching destination and they pointed him to a light in the distance.
As he moved towards the light, it was already dark and there was no one else on the road. In the darkness, he missed his way and soon found himself lost in a swamp where his feet became trapped in the murky water and he couldn’t move. He knew that if he didn’t get any help soon, he could be dead before the morning. So he called and called out for help, but no one heard him. However God heard him.
As the night drew on, and his situation seemed hopeless, strangely, about midnight, he heard two men in conversation, close to where he was trapped. Summoning all his strength he cried out and was finally heard.
The men succeeded in rescuing Dr. Paton from the swamp, and helped him that night to get to his destination, where he was kindly received.
Dr. Paton’s faith in God had delivered him from that near-death experience and he would go on in his ministry proclaiming the faithfulness of God and winning many souls to Christ.

Indeed we must never give up crying out to God for help.
No matter how lonely it may seem in your midnight ordeal, always remember that God’s ears are open to the cry of the righteous.
As long as you trust in Him, He is never at all limited in organizing a rescue for you.
Those times when it may seem that no man can hear you or help you, God hears. He is always our ever present help in the time of need.
As we place our faith in Him, anything and everything is possible.
This is why we must always keep our faith alive. Faith is the link that keeps us connected to Heaven for a rescue operation

No matter how many times, it may seem you have cried or prayed, one thing you should never do is to give up.
As you keep knocking the door will be opened, as you keep asking you will surely receive your miracle.
The example of the widow in Luke 18, who persistently asked the judge for justice until she got it, gives us a picture of what happens if we refuse to quit crying out and reaching out to God.
We serve the prayer-answering God. Though weeping may endure for the night, surely, joy is coming in the morning. As long as you don’t give up there will be an answer.

As you are praying God is organizing a rescue, He is orchestrating the people and circumstances that will pull you out of that miry situation.
Indeed, we are never alone in the midnight seasons of life. Jesus says He will never leave us nor forsake us, He will be with us to the end of time. Whatever we may face in life, He is always there with us. His Name is Immanuel – God with us.
As He has promised in Psalm 91:14, when we call upon Him in trouble He will deliver us and show us His salvation.

Therefore today, no matter how difficult that situation, don’t grow weary and don’t be discouraged. Heaven is organizing a speedy intervention and rescue for you.
No matter how long you may have lingered in that problem, it is finally your divine season for rescue and restoration.
As you remain persistent in faith, somehow in ways and means you cannot fathom, God will organize destiny helpers to come and help you out.
Therefore keep your faith ignited through feeding on God’s Word. Also keep blessing the Lord at all times, because as you praise, you will be raised and surely your feet will be set upon the solid rock.

PRAYER: Father, I praise You because I know that You are organizing a speedy rescue and restoration for me even at this moment. By Your grace I shall never be stranded. I am emerging victorious from every tight situation and through Christ I am indeed more than a conqueror in Jesus Name.

Recently, in the News was the story of the collapse of Champlain Towers in Miami Florida.
This 12-story beachfront condominium partially collapsed in
the early hours of June 24, 2021, while many of the residents were still sleeping, trapping and killing most of them.

Investigations into the disaster has shown that there were many warnings before this Florida building collapsed
The building had been in desperate need of repairs, after saltwater infiltrated the foundation during high tides in the 1990s.
But the biggest red flag came in 2018 when an engineer noted a “major error” in the building’s design and structural issues in need of repair. The engineer’s report helped shape plans for a repair project that would cost millions of dollars.
However, the cost of the repairs was deemed to be too high by the building managers and this led to delays and wasting of precious time.
It took more than two years before the building managers finally got plans underway to pursue the repairs.
Unfortunately before the repair project could start, the building suffered the catastrophic collapse, crushing sleeping residents in a massive heap of debris.

Indeed delay can be dangerous!.
As believers, we can learn a spiritual lesson from this incident.
Anytime we receive a warning about putting our lives in order we need to act promptly.

The choice to fix foundation problems always costs, but so does ignoring them.
No matter the spiritual cost, we should not postpone or procrastinate, before taking the time to come before God and get our lives right with Him.
Many times before a calamity, the Holy Spirit gives us warnings.
We will see the cracks in our character, the going down of the fire on our prayer altar. We may notice that things are no longer working as they used to work.
At such times, we should pause immediately and locate where we may be missing it and come in repentance before God.

Realize that we are in a spiritual battle with an enemy who is intent on killing stealing and destroying, we can’t afford to give him any room in our lives.

Anywhere you notice a break in the hedge around you, repair it immediately so that the serpent doesn’t bite.
Don’t be so busy that you don’t have the time to seek God and put your spiritual life in order. Stay in prayers, study the Word and seek the Lord, until the fire is reignited on your prayer altar.

1 Corinthians 6:19 says that we are the temple of God and one of the important features of God’s temple is the Altar. The Altar must be in order for the fire of God to be upon our lives.

In 1 Kings 18:29-34, when Israel turned their back on God, Elijah went to the top of Mt. Carmel and repaired the broken Altar. After the Altar was put in order, God answered Elijah’s prayer by fire and the prophets of Baal were defeated.

There are things that may not be defeated until you attract the fire of God into your life.
Not repairing the broken Altar and harboring unconfessed sins can obstruct the blessings of God in our lives.

Proverbs 28:13 says He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

To see restoration we must prepare to do whatever it takes to get our lives on track with Almighty God.
Each of us know what need to be repaired in our lives, let us therefore do the needful before it is too late. Let us make good use of every opportunity to draw close to God while we still can.

Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. “

Delaying to draw close to God gives the enemy room to attack. But maintaining an intimate relationship with God prevents damages and calamities. As we diligently obey God, we will enjoy divine establishment and abundant blessings as God restores our fortunes, repairs every ruin in our habitations and causes us to eat and drink of the fruits of our labors [Amos 9:14].

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for granting me the strength and grace to get rid of every possible barrier in my relationship with You. Thank You Lord for fresh fire on my prayer altar and renewed zeal to pursue Your will so as to see Your abundant blessings in my life in Jesus Name.

Steele Johnson is an Olympic medalist who is well known for his Christian faith. Despite a great setback at the beginning of his sporting career, he has gone on to become one of the best known divers in the world.
Steele Johnson who began diving at age seven could have died even before his career took off.
On 21st January 2009, when he was only 12 years old, Johnson was practicing a new diving style known as reverse somersault tuck position, when he struck his head on the concrete platform. His scalp split open as he fell 33 feet and plunged headfirst into the water below, where he remained motionless and lifeless.
Fortunately, his coach was nearby and quickly dived into the pool and brought him out. As the blood flowed profusely, the coach tried to limit the blood loss, until medical help arrived.
The injury required 33 staples on Johnson’s scalp and left him with memory issues. Though he miraculously survived the devastating accident, it seemed an end had come to his budding diving career. However, he refused to give up and despite the severity of the accident, just a month later he was out of the hospital and later on resumed his diving career.
Johnson went on to win multiple national titles at both the junior and college levels. He made his Olympic debut at the 2016 Rio Games, where he won a silver medal and set one of the highest records for an American diver. Interestingly, the diving style that almost killed him was what he mastered and performed to near perfection in Rio Olympics to win the medal.
Today, Steele Johnson credits God for his miraculous survival, restoration and elevation in his life and career.

What matters in life is not how you start but how you finish.
Every person goes through trials, temptations, setbacks, and even things that don’t seem to make sense.
However, while the enemy is messing, God is always blessing.
Those times, when it seems to be over, God is able to take over and turn our lives around to His glory.
Setbacks does not mean the end of the road; it is only a bend. And if you will keep going forward despite the difficulties, you will soon arrive at a glorious end.
We have to understand that even when life is not fair, God is always fair. He is always faithful and never fails.
Even in life’s darkest hours, God works behind the scenes to turn every test into a testimony. Though you may have experienced trouble, God is able to bring restoration and give you double for all your trouble.

Indeed restoration is God’s agenda for His people.
Whatever life has taken from you, God is able to restore in greater quantity and quality.
It doesn’t matter what diagnosis the doctors may have given you or the negative condition in your business, career, finances, family etc.
We serve the all-sufficient God, the God of all hope. He is the resurrection and the life.
He is our strong tower that we can run into when the storms of life are raging all around us.
Therefore no matter what you may go through, never give in to despair, because that’s right where the enemy wants you. Rather keep praising God because He is in control and able to fully restore you and turn every pain into gain for you.

However, our restoration requires our participation because our actions determine God’s reaction towards us.
Despite her discouraging situation, the woman with the issue of blood, kept pressing through the crowd until she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment. In that instant, she was made whole.

Likewise, we must be persistent in faith and keep pressing forward and keep seeking God through His Word.
Certainly, there is restoration power in God’s Word. Remember that Jesus is the Word!
While He was on earth, He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. Today, through His Word, He is also doing the same. He is bringing deliverance, healing and restoration to everyone that comes to Him.
Indeed He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Therefore, whatever you are in need of today, be assured that your God is able and equal to the task! All you have to do is stay in His Word and keep blessing Him and you will soon experience a miraculous turnaround.
Even in the darkest midnight and in the face of great impossibilities, God will show up for you. He will do what no man can do and exceed your every expectations. He will show you a token for good and surely turn every mourning into dancing for you.

PRAYER; Lord, I thank You today for Your restoration agenda for my life. I know You are at work even right now to turn every test into my testimony. Please enable me to constantly study Your word and to praise You always so that I can experience Your supernatural turnaround in this season in Jesus Name.

Debbie and Keith Jagger are American missionaries serving with the ministry ‘Missionaries On Special Assignment’ {MOSA].
In August 2001, they were sent to the village of Wa in northern Ghana, to help a small Christian community living in a predominantly muslim environment.
However, their arrival in the village was greeted with hostility by some residents who hated Christianity.
As the tensions increased over their presence, two watchmen were hired to guard the missionaries’ home.
They later learnt that a group of evil men were brought into the village specifically for the purpose of putting voodoo curses on their home.
On October 4, 2001, the missionaries felt a spiritual attack as Keith was almost blinded in a domestic accident and Debbie was wounded by a heavy kitchen shelf that inexplicably fell and knocked her down.
It seemed that having failed in the spiritual attempt to kill the missionaries, these evil attackers then came physically to their home that night.
At 1:45 am, Keith and Debbie heard their two security men screaming that armed intruders were invading the compound.
As Keith attempted to call the police, he found that strangely all their phones were dead. As the intruders began breaking in, the missionaries started to pray Psalm 91 for protection. As Debbie prayed, she heard the Lord say to her ‘You have been with Me in that secret place. Now you just stand in My shadow.'”
Once inside, the five intruders with guns, ordered Keith and Debbie out into the hallway. However, God’s Presence was so thick in the house that the intruders couldn’t harm the missionaries. When they demanded money, Keith gave them a one-hundred-dollar bill and said, “In the Name of Jesus”
Instantly as he spoke the Name of Jesus, the men bowed their heads simultaneously and suddenly began backing away in fear, even though they were holding guns.
Eventually, Keith and Debbie heard the men leave the house and drive off in their car. They never returned again and the missionaries were left to carry on their work unhindered. .

When we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of His wings, certainly, the Lord becomes our refuge and fortress.
Under the shadow of the Almighty, we receive divine immunity against every evil attack.

Spiritually our location is what determines our allocation in life.
As believers we are spiritually located in Mount Zion, where we are surrounded by an innumerable company of angels. Indeed Mount Zion is our place of deliverance and formidable spiritual security.

Hebrews. 12:22-24 says, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and Church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”

The Blood of Jesus speaks powerfully in mount Zion. Through the speakings of His Blood we are able to experience deliverance and possess our possessions.
Obadiah 17-21 says ‘But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.’
When we dwell in Zion, we do not only enjoy divine security, we also receive the strength to possess everything allotted to us in destiny.
Zion is the place where we receive divine strength to pursue, overtake and recover all.
Psalm 84:7-12 says ‘They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.’

As we dwell in Zion, we dwell in God’s divine Presence, where we are covered by the Blood of Jesus. The Blood of Jesus is the divine provision for our freedom from all satanic oppression.
Through His Blood shed on the Cross, Jesus has wiped out the handwriting of every ordinance against us. He has blotted out all the plots of witchcraft and occultic forces and everything against our general wellbeing and nailed them to the cross.
Indeed the Blood of Jesus ensures that affliction cannot arise a second time in our lives.
However, revelation from God’s Word is the gateway to accessing our redemptive heritage in the Blood.
And today, as we accept the responsibility of diligent study of the Word, certainly, we shall possess our possessions and enjoy restoration of every good thing allotted to us by redemption.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always diligently study Your Word so as to truly see the victory I have through the Blood of Jesus. Indeed by the power in the Blood, I shall possess my possessions and enjoy restoration in every area of my life in Jesus’ Name.

Arthur Compton was a respected scientist who won the 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics for his scientific discoveries about light.
Arthur was the son of a Pastor, who grew up to love the Lord and desired to serve Him. At the same time he also had a great passion for science.
Already by age 12, he had a telescope with which he was able to observe the planets. And at age 16, he had written scientific articles, which were later published in the Newspapers.
As he grew older, Arthur was torn between his love of science and his desire to become a Christian missionary.
He however came to believe that he could serve God more effectively as a scientist, by making discoveries that would advance humanity.
For a time, Arthur Compton served in the Baptist church, but he ultimately pursued a career in Science and majored in Physics. He found himself drawn to experimental work and indepth scientific researches.

He would spend most of his life in deep researches that contributed immensely to the progress of science.
One of the most important scientific discoveries he made is what is known today as the ‘Compton effect.’ This discovery was a significant turning point in the understanding of the properties of light and objects.
However, he initially, faced a lot of oppositions because his discovery upset the old scientific beliefs about the nature of light.
When he first presented the results of his research at a meeting of the American Physical Society in 1923, it initiated one of the most hotly contested scientific debates ever known.
But Arthur Compton was not deterred by the controversy because he had great confidence in the depth of his research.
And with time he was proved to be correct. As a result of his discovery he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
He also received many other awards in his lifetime and is celebrated as one of the most outstanding research scientists of his generation.

Spiritually, when we diligently search in God’s Word and discover the truth, it births unshakeable faith in our hearts.
This confidence that comes from our discovery of the truth makes us immoveable in the face of any trial or oppositions.
This faith from God’s Word is how we overcome the world and its challenges.

As believers, we all have the responsibility to seek from God’s Word, the truth that sets free. When we find it there shall be a reward and our expectations shall not be cut short.

No matter what you may be confonted with at any time, there’s always a way out of it.
God’s Word is the master key that opens every closed door.
Every question of life has an answer in the Word.
All we need is to pay the price of diligently seeking until we find it. The revelation from the Word will birth a revolution in our lives.

Every genuine recovery of destiny anchors on discoveries from the Word. Certainly to be informed is to be transformed.

Indeed God has given us all things that partain to life and godliness through the knowledge of His Word.
It is God’s will that we live an abundant life, with nothing missing or lacking or wanting. Jesus came, that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
However, John 10:10 says that there is a thief that comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
Due to the activities of this thief, precious things have been stolen from the lives of many people.

However, God’s Word is the light through which we can discover and recover every precious thing stolen from us.

In Luke 15:8, the Bible tells us about the woman who lost her silver coin and lit her candle and searched diligently until she found the lost coin.

The spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord. When we light up our spirit through connection to God’s Word, we will locate every precious thing missing in our lives and destinies.

Therefore today if your joy or peace is missing, you can find them by in-depth search in God’s Word . If health, favor, progress, success or any good thing is missing, you can locate them by spending quality time in the Word..
As we study the Word, the Holy Spirit illuminates our mind to know what we need to do in order to experience restoration of what was lost.
And as we obey His instructions, divine strength is imparted into us to pursue, overtake and indeed recover all.

PRAYER: Father Thank You lord for granting me the grace for continual diligent study of Your Word. And as I study please help me to make the discoveries that will lead to recovery of all I have ever lost in life in Jesus Name.

Paul Porter is a founding member and lead vocalist of the legendary Gospel music group ‘The Christianaires.’
In the three decades of his musical career, he has earned numerous nominations and awards—including Grammy, Dove, and Stellar awards—and was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
However, in 1996, Paul Porter’s career came to an abrupt halt when he suffered a brain aneurism. As a result of the aneurism, he lost his sight, his voice, his ability to walk and motor skills. He lost his memory and stayed in the bed about a year and a half.
He was in a wheelchair for three years and had multiple surgeries. With no improvement, the doctors eventually gave up and gave him up to die.
However the sickness was a wake-up call that drew Paul closer to God. And rather than accept the doctors’ verdict he chose to seek God’s face and hold on to His Word. Though his recovery seemed impossible, he began telling people that God was going to heal him and restore him.
Eventually he spoke his healing into existence. One day, he was able to get out of his wheelchair and began using a walker. As he continued to believe God and speak in faith, after a while he dropped the walker and began using a cane. Then finally in 2006, he was able to get rid of the cane and walked free, totally healed and whole and resumed his musical career.
He teamed up with Smokie Norful and Erica Campbell to release his music Album titled “F.R.E.E, in celebration of God’s faithfulness. One of the very personal songs in the Album “You Can’t Give Up” is a testimony of his holding on to God’s Word and refusing to give up until he got his miracle.

Though Paul Porter seemed to have lost everything, yet he experienced divine recovery, because he chose to believe and speak God’s Word.
Indeed there is power of deliverance in God’s Words.
What becomes of us is largely determined by the words we speak. Matthew 12:37 says you are either condemned or justified by the words of your mouth.
Most sicknesses and afflictions have spiritual root. God’s Word alone has the spiritual capacity to destroy the evil roots of these problems. Therefore to see recovery and restoration, we must keep declaring God’s counsel, no matter how impossible any situation.

The word of God, spoken in faith in the Name of Jesus, has awesome power to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
God has given us a mouth and wisdom that all our adversaries ‘shall not be able to gainsay nor resist’ and every tongue that shall rise against us in judgement we are destined to condemn.[ (Luke 21:15, Isaiah 54:17].

Certainly, to pursue, overcome and recover everything missing in our lives, we cannot afford to keep silent in the face of any challenge or confrontation. This is because in spiritual battles, silence is taken for consent. If you are not condemning, then you are condoning. It is therefore time to begin to speak out against any mountain confronting you today.
Whether it is a mountain of sickness, financial challenge, spiritual laziness, relationship problems, etc, you cannot afford to keep watching it. The spirit of faith demands that we declare what we believe in order to see our deliverance and salvation.
Romans 10:10 tells us that it is with the mouth that confession is made unto salvation.

However, we cannot speak effectively with faith and power, until we have first been filled with God’s Word.
It is as we in-depthly study God’s Word, and speak boldly with faith, that we will experience our desired miraculous turnaround.

Certainly, in this season the wind of change is blowing and our circumstance is about to shift. No matter what may have happened in the past, today, the grace for recovery and restoration is available.
Let us therefore continually praise and bless the Lord for His faithfulness, because we are about to see a speedy manifestation of His promises.
As we stay in faith, God will convert every breakdown into a breakthrough for us and we will have cause to continually glorify Him throughout this year for His wondrous dealings in our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to speak with faith and power against every confrontations to my destiny. As I keep praising You, I know that there shall be speedy manifestations of Your wonder agenda for me this year in Jesus’ Name.

In 2020, CBN News and other News outlets reported the miraculous rescue of Pete Brown and his friends who had been lost at sea.
On December 20, 2019, Pete Brown with two crewmates had set sail from Japan to Hawaii. They took off around thanksgiving day with the hope of arriving their destination on Christmas day.
But along the way, their vessel ran into difficulties during a storm. As the sea became rough, the boat tipped over and they were upside down. As they cried out to God for help, they were eventually able to get the boat upright again.
But the storm had broken their mast and also damaged their communication devices, making it impossible for the men to communicate for help.
After their family noticed that they could no longer communicate with them, the US Coast Gaurd was contacted. A search for them with airplanes began, but to no avail.
Lost at sea, the situation of these three men looked more hopeless as the days passed by. Yet they held on to God through constant prayers and refused to give up hope.
Finally, after nine days, on December 29, their prayers were answered! The men saw a boat in the distance. For a half-hour, they used mirrors to flash sunlight at the boat until they were seen and rescued. The men were finally returned to land on January 2 and reunited with their families in Hawaii.
They gave God the glory for their miraculous rescue.

At the red sea, the children of Israel seemed to be out of options! They had their backs against the wall, with pharaoh and his army in hot pursuit. But when they cried out to God, He told them to stand and see His salvation.
Anytime we come to waters too high for us, we need to stand still and hope in God’s salvation. Despite the raging of the sea God is at work, He is making a way.
Even if surrounded by contrary situations we must keep hoping on God and calling upon His Name, trusting that His salvation is on the way.
No matter what comes your way, you must remain strong and very courageous. Never quit or give up hope, God is always there and He is working in your favor.

In Isaiah 43:2 God says, ‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you’.

This verse makes it clear that even in the worst of situations, God is able to make a way for us. When we pass through the water and the fire, we are not remaining there, rather we are only going through. And we come out on the other side better than when we went in.
Despite what may seem like a negative situation, God is working out His higher purpose in your life. He is the Author and finisher of your faith. That means, what He begins in you, He also completes it. He will never leave you nor forsake you as long as your hope and trust is in Him. This is why you must keep standing in faith.
And faith comes by hearing God’s Word. Therefore there is a need to keep filling our hearts continually with the Word, until our actions are dominated and controlled by what God says.
No matter, how long you may have been ‘drifting at sea’ in that situation, surely there is an end and your expectations shall not be cut short.
In this season of recovery, you are going to experience a divine rescue. God will indeed answer your prayers and you will see speedy progress, acceleration and restoration in every area of life in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to make your Word top priority in my life, so that I can always walk by faith, and not by sight. I thank You Lord, for enabling me to experience Your divine rescue, restoration, recovery in this season in Jesus Name

Psalm 66:3 “Through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemy submit themselves unto thee.”

DAILY READING • 2 Timothy 1; Jeremiah 5-6; Psalm 121

During World War 2, Germany had a secret weapon that they used effectively in battles.
It was a rocket known as V-2, which became the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile. It was developed by Germany as a “vengeance weapon” to attack the US, Britain and their allies.
About 3,000 of these rockets launched by Germany proved to be extraordinarily deadly. The V-2 was difficult to intercept as it would rise six miles vertically and then fall on its target at a speed of almost 4000 mph.
After winning World War II, America, Russia, and Britain were all very eager to learn about this Germany’s secret devastating weapon.
After gaining access to the V-2’s technical designs and the scientists responsible for creating it, they were able to produce modern rockets and missiles.

The ability of a rocket to soar high, is that they overcome Earth’s gravity through burning much fuel.
Rockets carry so much fuel that 90% of the weight of a typical rocket is fuel.
A rocket will keep speeding up as long as the force from the fuel pushing it upwards is greater than the forces of gravity trying to pull it down.
Gravity is constantly exerting a “downward” force on every object within its range and if a rocket stops pushing upward, gravity will reverse its upward progress.
And so the rocket needs to be accelerating up harder than gravity is pulling it down. This it does through applying great power from burning much fuel.

We can learn a great spiritual truth from the movement of the rocket.Just like a rocket, needs power to go up against the force of gravity, we
need power to go up against the spiritual forces that try to pull us down.
As believers to maintain an upward progress in life, we need to be constantly empowered through a spiritually fervent lifestyle.
It is only by the exercise of great power that we can overcome the forces of the enemy.

Psalm 66:3 says “Through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemy submit themselves unto thee.”

To truly pursue, overtake and recover all that belongs to us, we need power.
It is our power level that determines our level of dominion on the earth.

We are in the last days which are the days of Manifestation of God’s power. Therefore, every child of God needs to exercise power to operate in the realms of supernatural exploits.

When we got born again we received a level of power. John 1:12 tells us that as many as received Christ, to them were given the power to become the sons of God.

However, after getting born again we need to keep increasing our power level in order to move forward and upward in life.

Though Jesus was anointed without measure, yet He kept going to the mountain of prayer to increase His power level.
We increase our power through a lifestyle of fasting, prayers, and study of The Word of God.

In these last days the oppositions and resistance against our progress is getting hotter everyday.
Therefore to fly high, we must be determined to pay the required spiritual price for power.
To truly overtake and overcome every opposition, we must be operating with the higher power and greater force of the Holy Ghost.
Indeed through the exercise of great power, we shall be flying high in this season and every enemy must certainly submit to us

PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me a renewed desire for Your Word and prayer, so that I can be empowered to fly to the great heights You have ordained for me this year in Jesus Name.

Deuteronomy 28:2 ‘And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.’

DAILY READING – – 1 Timothy 5:23-6:21; Jeremiah 3-4; Psalm 120

William Kamkwamba is a Malawian inventor, engineer, and author.
He gained fame, when at age 14, in 2001, he built a wind turbine to power multiple electrical appliances in his town.
William was born in a family of relative poverty in a very poor village in Malawi. However his parents were Christians who brought him up in the way of the Lord. Forced to quit school because of inability to pay his school fees, William trusted the Lord to see him through in life. He resorted to educating himself by frequenting the public library.
After reading a book titled ‘Using Energy’, William taught himself the principles of electric generation from this book. This boy, who had never seen a computer, surprisingly, was able to build a windmill using materials collected from a local scrapyard.
He built a windmill powerful enough to run lights and water pumps for his poor village in Malawi.
His ingenuity caught the eye of a journalist who wrote about him. As a result he was invited to talk at TED Global conference 2007 in Arusha, Tanzania. His speech moved the audience, and several people at the conference pledged to help finance his secondary education and he received a scholarship to continue with his studies after a 5-year lapse.
And today, from a village school dropout, William has become an international innovator, engineer, and author. His story has been captured in books and movies and in 2013, TIME magazine named William Kamkwamba as one of the “30 People Under 30 Changing The World”.
William continually credits God for his success and the inspiration that led to his inventions.

William’s story is a remarkable example of the difference God can make in the life of a person.
Though the odds seemed against him, through faith in God, William refused to accept his “fate” and dared to believe God for the miraculous. By doing what he could with the little that he had, today, God has multiplied his efforts and magnified his little steps.

The fact that a negative pattern have been passed down to you, doesn’t mean you have to live with it. You may have been born into a disadvantaged background where it appears you were limited right from the start.
But even in the midst what looks impossible, God is able to manifest to you as a way-maker and barrier breaker.
Though the circumstances of life may seem to have put you at a disadvantage, that still cannot thwart God’s great plan for you.
As you trust God and keep pressing forward to the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, God will open for you doors no man can shut. He will cause you to be the one who blazes a new trail and breaks the barriers in your family.
God will use you to stop generational curses and start generational blessings.
The truth is that when God is with you no matter how weak or disadvantaged you may be, you will surely succeed against all odds.

Indeed God can use anyone who yields to Him to accomplish great things on earth.
Therefore, today, regardless of your current circumstances, determine to keep following God faithfully. God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
As you rightly position yourself through study of His Word, a prayerful lifestyle and fervent praise, God will indeed turn you into a wonder.
God will open doors you never imagined and blessings will suddenly begin to chase you down.

Deuteronomy 28:2 says ‘And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.’

Indeed as long as you put your trust in the Lord, you shall never be ashamed. Therefore in this second half of the year, let us begin to believe God to exceed our expectations.
It is certainly our time to experience divine acceleration, speedy accomplishments and an overtaker’s anointing to pursue, overtake and recover every good thing ordained for us in this season.

PRAYER; Lord please help me to be obedient to Your Word, so that I can experience Your wonders. I know that You are in perfect control of my life and as I continue to trust in You, You will certainly exceed all my expectations this year in Jesus Name.
