Galatians 6:9 ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’

DAILY READING –1 Thessalonians 2:1-16; Isaiah 14-16; Psalm 113

During Israel’s Independence War, one of the notable miracles was what happened at the town of Katamon. This town held a key strategic position in Jerusalem. As Israeli forces advanced, they quickly captured a monastery in the town being used as the Arab forces’ base of operations. However the Arabs soon mounted a fierce counter-attack. And after hours of fighting the Israeli soldiers found themselves low on ammunition. Additionally, they had suffered serious injuries. And so they decided to retreat. But some of the wounded soldiers couldn’t move, and if left behind and found by the Arabs, they would be tortured and mutilated. And so it was decided that those too badly wounded would be put in a room rigged with explosives. Two soldiers would stay behind and detonate the explosives when Arab forces came to capture them. However what the Israelis did not know then was that the Arab forces had also suffered many casualties and were out of Ammunition and they were just about to surrender. The Israeli soldiers were on their way out the door, when suddenly a message came on their radio. “don’t retreat”. The message came from their military headquarters. The Arabs had already retreated! Overjoyed, the Israeli soldiers stayed on until reinforcements arrived to treat the wounded. Raful, the platoon commander, who was shot on the head, survived. And most miraculously the Israeli troop, regained strength and eventually won the battle!

Galatians 6: 9 says ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’

Sometimes, in the midst of a fierce battle we may be tempted to give up . But the message to us today is ‘Don’t retreat!, don’t give up.’ Help is on the way.
It is often darkest just before the day breaks. Don’t give up! Often in life’s battles, when the going gets tough or you get knocked down, it can be tempting to throw in the towel. But Whatever you may be faced with today, understand that you are born to win. You are fighting, not for victory, but from victory. Victory is already in you by reason of Christ in you. Therefore it doesn’t matter how fierce the battle, through Christ you are more than a conqueror.
The truth is that you are capable of much more accomplishment than you realize. You have potentials for greater victories within you. It is not about you, it is about Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is not about your capability, it is about His ability at work in you. You have what it takes to win your battles. So do not be weary, do not give up too soon. Your victory is around the corner. The enemy has already lost the battle and has been defeated. The Goliath fighting you today may look like a champion, but like David, you are the one with the heart of the champion. You have the victory!. Just keep praising God, because help is on the way. indeed very soon everything will turn around for your good.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to stand strong despite the fierce winds of oppositions. I thank You because through Christ I am more than a conqueror in every battle in Jesus Name.

2 Chronicles 20:22 “And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.”

DAILY READING – Revelation 22; Isaiah 11; Psalm 112

“My weapon is a melody… heaven’s going to fight for me…” says one line of the popular song Raise A Hallelujah” by Bethel Music’.
This song is evident of the power of praise as it brought a miracle in the darkest hour of the life of the CEO of Bethel music Joel Taylor.
In 2018, just before Christmas Joel’s wife and two-year-old son, had just built their Christmas cake train. But later that evening the little boy lay down on the floor in a manner that made his mother know something was terribly wrong.
When he was airlifted to an intensive care unit, he was diagnosed as suffering a deadly infection that had shut down his kidneys and was causing seizures.
His mom and dad felt hopeless when one night the doctor told them he didn’t think their son would make it through the night.
When they relayed the grave news to their friend, Jonathan David Hesler, who is a worship leader, he shared in their pain. In that moment of desperation all of a sudden, out of Jonathan’s spirit arose a song. He wrote down the song with lyrics like– ‘I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies. I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief.’”
He immediately sent this song to Joel and his wife, who began to sing and declare the lyrics over their dying son. Miraculously the child survived that night. After several weeks in the hospital, numerous treatments and countless prayers, Jason Taylor’s little boy was totally healed and remains healthy and sound.
And today the song “Raise a Hallelujah’ which came at their darkest hour has continued to bless many people around the world.

In 2 Chronicles 20, as king Jehoshaphat and his people raised songs of praise in the presence of their overwhelming enemies, God gave them miraculous victory.
Praise is what triggers the intervention of the Omnipotent God.
We don’t have to wait to see our miracle before we give God praise. That’s not how faith works. You’ve got to give God praise first and as your praise goes up, then the blessings and miracles will come down. Praise always precedes the victory. If we remain discouraged and focus on our problems, it will limit what God can do.
Just like king Jehoshaphat, when you begin to sing and praise God in the face of your challenges, He will set an ambush against the enemies of sickness, poverty, and every negative thing fighting against you. Your songs of praise is what activates God’s miracle working power.
Isaiah 54;1 says, “Sing, oh barren woman, you who never bore a child. Break forth into song and shout for joy”.

This verse essentially means that even while you are barren you should sing and praise God despite your condition Your songs of praise is what will move God to turn the dry season into your season of fruitfulness.
Whatever challenging situation you may face today, praise is able to pull you out of it. Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on the goodness of God and give Him worthy praise and watch Him grant you speedy recovery and total turnaround..

PRAYER; Lord, Please help me to always maintain a praise-full lifestyle, despite any negative condition. Thank You Lord for causing me to triumph always in Jesus Name. .

Romans 4:20 ‘He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;’

DAILY READING • Revelation 21-22; Isaiah 9-10; Psalm 111

Pat Robertson, the longtime TV host, minister, and founder and chairman of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), died this month on June 8, 2023 at the age of 93.
Pat was born the son of a U.S. senator, and after graduating from Yale, he had hoped to become a successful businessman. In his 1972 autobiography, “Shout It From the Housetops”, he wrote about his dream of living the life of a New York socialite. But all that suddenly changed in the 1950s when he became born-again and felt the Lord leading him to build a Christian television network for His glory.
At that time there was no successful model for Christian TV. But Robertson moved by faith having no more than $70 to his name and a company bank account with a meager $3 initial deposit.
When he saw a dilapidated TV station for sale in Portsmouth, Virginia, he had not enough money to purchase it, but through Gods favor, Pat got it for free. This was followed by difficult months of preparation for the TV station to take off. Then on October 1, 1961, nearly two years after,, with decrepit television equipment Pat sent a feeble signal to nearby homes and thus was birthed The Christian Broadcasting Network [CBN]
From a defunct television station CBN has become a broadcasting powerhouse today—with a $300 million annual budget, reaching millions of people in 174 countries across six continents.

While Pat Robertson has gone home to his reward, we can learn a great lesson from his life to persist in faith until we attain our God-ordained vision. Each of us have an assignment from God which we will one day return home to give an account of. This thought should keep us running towards our vision with persistence, tenacity and strong faith.
Though you may not have enough resources or qualification, when you are determined to walk in faith and obedience, God will work in and through you to accomplish great things on earth.
However, due to the many challenges we often face on life’s journey, many of us may begin to doubt our vision and become tempted to quit.
While our faith can move mountains, our doubts can create them. Doubts can cause us to forget about our race to the top and settle in the valley of mediocrity and nonentity.
This is why it is important to constantly feed on God’s Word which is the source of all faith. Meditating on Scriptures paints the pictures of possibilities that propel us forward despite obstacles and setbacks. When our natural reasoning is telling us, “It’s never going to work out” knowledge of God’s faithfulness from His Word emboldens us to keep pressing forward.
Faith imparts in you deep inner confidence that makes you see the invisible and call those things that be not as though they were.
Unwavering confidence in God is what makes us victorious in any contest.
Psalm 125;1 says ‘Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever’
Strong faith in God causes you not to be moved by circumstances.
The Bible said concerning Abraham: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (Romans 4:20-21).
Certainly, as we keep giving glory to God and keep walking in faith, it is only a matter of time before we see our great visions come into speedy and glorious manifestation.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to stop focusing on limitations, challenges or obstacles. I praise You because through Christ I can do all things and attain the glorious heights You have destined for me in Jesus Name. .

Joshua 6;16 ‘And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

DAILY READING• Revelation 20; Isaiah 7-8; Psalm 110

When the Bible speaks of the walls of Jericho falling down, the original Hebrew wording carries the idea of the walls falling “below themselves.”
This Biblical description is consistent with the findings of early archaeological work done on Jericho in the late 1950s by investigators, such as Dame Kathleen Kenyon. These archeologists found evidence that the walls of Jericho had collapsed “below themselves, ” in such a way that created a ramp for the Israelites to march on to go “up” and take the city.
Another proof of the Bible’s accuracy about the fall of Jericho was the archaeological find about Rahab’s house. During an early excavation in 1907-1909, German archaeologists found that, although most of the wall had collapsed, a portion of the wall had not entirely collapsed and appeared to have been preserved. They also found evidence that houses had been built along the wall which is consistent with the Biblical narrative.
Another detail that is also of interest in the archaeological site of Jericho is the presence of full pots of charred grain that were burned from when the city was attacked and destroyed. What is unusual about these grain pots is that the grain would probably have been eaten during a prolonged siege, but the fact that the grain pots were still full is consistent with the Biblical narrative that the siege of Jericho by the Israelites had lasted only seven days.

Jericho was the strongest city in the Promised Land and the first that had to be conquered by Joshua.
Jericho’s huge stone wall was so thick that chariots could ride on top of it. But in Joshua chapter six, God set the pattern to let us know that praise can bring down any wall no matter how formidable.
God told Joshua to tell the people to march around the great walls of Jericho for 6 days, one time a day, and on the seventh day, they were to march around seven times. On the seventh day, on the seventh time around, God told them to release a shout. On that seventh day, on the seventh time around, after the priests blew the trumpets and the people shouted in praise to God. All of a sudden, the thick walls of Jericho that had stood between them and thei promised land came tumbling down.
The truth is that between you and your destiny, there will always be a wall of Jericho, that will try to resist your progress. Jericho’s walls represent issues that are so crucial that until you have conquered them you cannot move forward or enjoy God’s blessings in your life. You either have to defeat them, or they are going to try to stop you. But whatever walls of resistance you may be confronted with today, as you lift up a shout of praise as your battle cry, those walls will surely fall.. The shout of high praises causes God to arise and when He arises every enemy and walls of opposition before you must scatter. Certainly, praise precedes your victory and turns obstacles into miracles.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for granting me the grace to keep praising You in the face of every opposition and resistance. By Your power every wall of Jericho resisting my progress will surely come tumbling down today in Jesus Name.

Psalms 126: 1-2 ‘When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.’

DAILY READING; Revelation 19; Isaiah 5-6; Psalm 109:20-31

Falash Mura is the name given to descendants of King Solomon in Ethiopia who converted to Christianity. Their Jewish heritage goes back 3,000 years.
In 1981, due to great famine in Ethiopia, significant numbers of the Falash Mura fled to Sudan, but many died due to malnutrition and disease.
When Israeli government learnt of the large number of these Ethiopian Jews dying in Sudanese refugee camps, they embarked on a massive airlift codenamed ‘operation Moses’. Through this operation nearly 8,000 Ethiopian Jews were secretly airlifted to Israel beginning from November 21, 1984.
However in 1985, when the secret operation became public news, fear of pressure from other Arab countries made the Sudanese president to order a halt to Israel’s clandestine operation.
For many of the Ethiopian Jews who were left behind in Sudan, it seemed an end to their dream of deliverance. But when it seemed like it was all over, somehow, a new door opened up unexpectedly as the U.S decided to continue the evacuation. However, this was a great risk to the US government because it meant the resulting political upheaval could uproot the Sudanese president who was their important ally in east Africa and the Arab world.
The then-US vice president, George Bush personally flew to Sudan in March 1985 and convinced the Sudanese president to allow the US to complete the airlift of Ethiopian Jews left behind in Sudan. In the operation, codenamed ‘Operation Sheba’, several US military C-130 Hercules aircraft secretly airlifted the remaining Ethiopian Jews and flew them directly to Israel.
But just as America had speculated, the consequence of the operation, was the overthrow of their important ally, the Sudanese president, but the gain was the saving of the lives of many Ethiopian Jews, who were delivered from great suffering and captivity .

Through God’s intervention the Ethiopian Jews received sudden help and deliverance at a time when it seemed all their hope was lost.
Just like He did for the Ethiopian Jews, God can suddenly turn the captivity of anyone who trusts in Him.

Psalms 126: 1-2 ‘When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.’

Indeed through the divine help of God, we can always enjoy supernatural deliverance and miraculous turnarounds.
As we praise God in this season, suddenly, He will turn every form of captivity and fill our mouth with laughter.
Because of the price Jesus paid at Calvary, it is our portion to be freed from every yoke of bondage.
Therefore by the power in the Blood of Jesus, in this season, we shall be seeing the amazing help of God as long standing walls of Jericho will be suddenly brought down.
However, our principal tool for reaping our desired harvest of miracles is praise. God is fearful in praises and as we keep our praise switch turned on, we shall be seeing His supernatural help in amazing sudden open doors, supernatural breakthroughs and turning of every captivity.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. I praise and bless You because even right now I know You are turning around every tough situation in my favor in Jesus Name.

Isaiah 25:4 ‘For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.’

DAILY READING; Revelation 18; Isaiah 3-4; Psalm 109:1-19

On October 12, 1999, Carlos Arteaga was aboard a flight from Venezuela when it crashed into the dense Amazon jungle. Five of the eight passengers were immediately killed. Interestingly, Arteaga and the two other survivors–an 11-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy–were all Christians. The two younger survivors had escaped major injury, but Arteaga suffered severe injuries on his head, arms, hands and leg and couldn’t walk.
The two able survivors then went to seek for help and left Arteaga with a loaf of bread and a tree branch to fend off animals. Left alone in the forest for the next ten days, death seemed eminent, but Arteaga, kept claiming God’s promises of protection in Psalm 91. In that period, Arteaga said he saw amazing miracles, as God placed a rainbow near the site of the crash, which he believed supernaturally prevented any stench from the dead passengers and stopped vultures from swooping down. The crash site also was near a brook, which allowed him to drink water.
In addition, God kept him safe through the nights, despite the wild animals roaming in the jungle. Ten days after the crash, a search party finally found him.
Arteaga would spend the next nine months in the hospital undergoing surgery and recovering. On hearing his story twelve of the best doctors in Venezuela came to him in the hospital and expressed their amazement at his survival which they deemed impossible. But Arteaga told them of Psalm 91 and God’s promises of divine protection.
Arteaga became a full-time evangelist after the crash, and thousands of people in different countries have received salvation through his amazing testimony.

There are over 150 distinct miracles recorded in the Bible. God, who performed those great miracles is still doing amazing wonders in the world today. He can still manifest miracles of Biblical proportions in our lives when we put our trust in Him. .
The same God who parted the red sea, closed the mouth of the lions and caused earthquakes is our God.
And what He did in times past, He is well able to still perform in our lives today.
Though we may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil when God is with us. Though a thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, evil will not come near us when God is our refuge.
While the world may be full of tribulations, through Christ we are destined for jubilation. Where others may travail, through faith in God, we will always prevail. As long as we keep our eyes on Jesus, He will surely make a way.
We may walk through dark times and unexpectedness challenges, but in everything we keep giving thanks because God is still on the throne and He is our ever present help in every trouble.
We bless Him always because He is our refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. [Isaiah 25:4]

PRAYER: Lord, You are indeed my refuge, shelter and strong tower in every storm Today, as I praise You, I thank You for showing up and showing Yourself mighty in my life in Jesus Name.

JUNE 20; GOD IS OUR REFUGE!

Psalm 139:14 ‘I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well’

DAILY READING; Revelation 17; Isaiah 1-2; Psalm 108

The world’s most expensive painting is the Salvator Mundi (Latin for ‘Savior of the World’). It was painted by the legendary Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci.
The painting depicts Jesus Christ in a blue robe, making the sign of the cross with his right hand, while holding a transparent, orb in his left, representing the ‘celestial sphere’ of the heavens.
The painting, which dates to around the 16th century, was lost to history for more than 200 years. But the Salvator Mundi was rediscovered and restored and sold for a record
$450.3 million on 15 November 2017 to a Saudi Arabian Prince. It set a new record for the most expensive painting ever sold at public auction.
The great value placed on this painting is because it was done by Leonardo da Vinci. Art works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci are regarded as among the world’s greatest masterpieces. His paintings are famous for their great qualities, acclaimed by both connoisseurs and critics.

The value of a painting doesn’t stem from what it looks like but rather from who the painter is. The painting gets its value from its creator. In the same way, our value doesn’t come from what we look like rather our value comes from the fact that Almighty God is our painter.
As God’s masterpiece, you have been fearfully and wonderfully made, incredibly engineered, and uniquely positioned as an exquisite showpiece of God’s creation.

David said in Psalm 139:14 ‘I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well’

When we catch a glimpse of the amazing ingenuity of God in how wonderfully He has created us and made us good for our situation, we cannot but praise Him continually.
Therefore refuse to go through life listening to the negative voices telling you that you’re what you are not. Stop focusing on your flaws, weaknesses and inadequacies, rather keep praising God because you are a divine project and certainly the good work God has started in your life, He is able to bring it to a glorious completion.
Do not look at your current state and feel you do not have what it takes to make it in life, rather look at your destined state as written in God’s Word and believe that you are created for signs and wonders.
Indeed you are destined to be the salt of the earth and light of the world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden.
Obscurity and nonentity is not part of God’s plan for you. You are created to be above only and never beneath.
No matter what situation you may face today, realize that God has deliberately made you fearfully and wonderfully for His purpose and glory. All you need is to follow the plan of the Creator outlined in His Word and you will naturally emerge as a living wonder to your world.

PRAYER: Lord Please enable me to diligently follow Your Word in every situation. I know that even right now, You are at work in my life to truly turn me into a wonder to my world in Jesus Name. .

Habakkuk 3:17-18 ‘Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation’!

DAILY READING – Revelation 17, Isaiah 1-2, Psalm 108.

After undergoing knee surgery in 2008, American track and field star, English Gardner, was told by doctors that she could never run again. Due to the severity of her condition, many people truly thought her athletic career was over. Though it seemed the end of the road, Gardner who is a fervent Christian, knew that somehow the grace and mercy of God would prevail. She never gave up and continued to do all she could to recover. And eventually, miraculously, her heath was fully restored, and she began to enter into races again.
In 2016, she qualified for the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro.  On the day of the Olympic trials, Gardner ran with a plan to praise God. For her to be back on her feet running again, was indeed a great miracle. And God surprised her further by causing her to win the race in an amazing record time. She set a record of 10.74 seconds which ranked her in the top ten all-time runners of the 100-meter race. As soon as Gardner crossed the finish line, she went down on her knees, praising Jesus and thanking him for her victory.
Gardner shed tears of joy after her record-shattering run because doctors had said she could never do so after her injury. But she defied the odds
Later in a media interview, Gardner said that not many people knew the cost of the oil of her praise. She said she gained the inspiration to beat the odds after reading the Biblical accounts of David and Goliath, Noah and Daniel in the lion’s den. And through this Biblical inspiration, she not only recorded one of the fastest times for an American female athlete, but became the fourth-fastest American in history and the seventh fastest sprinter in the world.

Habakkuk 3: 17-18 says ‘Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation’.

Not many people have experienced what David felt when he and his men returned to their home in Ziklag to discover their property destroyed and their wives taken by the Amalekites. To worsen matters, his men spoke of stoning him. Yet, in the midst of all these, David chose to praise God.

1 Sam 30:6 says David “encouraged himself in the Lord his God”. And because he decided to trust God even in the midst of despair, God gave him victory and full restoration of all he lost. David was able to pursue, overtake and recover all.

In our journey through life, sometimes we can be confronted by adverse situations. Despite the pain, when we lift our hands in praise and worship, we are breaking spiritual alabaster boxes of oil at the feet of Jesus. The sweet fragrance of our sacrifice of praise creates the conducive atmosphere for God to do the miraculous. In every situation, let us choose to bless God because He is always in perfect control, He is seated upon the throne of  His glory, holding the scepter of His dominion in our favor.. Situations may vary but God never changes, He remains the constant. Nothing moves Him or takes Him by surprise. And when we chose to bless Him at all times, He will indeed arise in His  might and power to cause a forceful turnaround of every contrary situation for us.

PRAYER: Father I choose to bless You at all times. I choose to set the tone to receive Your favor, grace and mercy. I thank You for being in complete control of my life and exceeding my expectations in Jesus Name.

Psalm 124:6-8 ‘Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth”.

DAILY READING; Revelation 16; Esther 9-10; Psalm 107:23-43

The American Revolution was a time when small fledgling American colonies gained their freedom from the rule of Great Britain and became the independent country of the United States. After the American declaration of Independence, they were resisted by the British and so faced a major battle which was known as the battle of long island. The battle took place in the southwest portion of Long Island, New York. This area is called Brooklyn today. Initially the Americans had forced the British out of Boston on March 1776. And George Washington, the leader of the American side , had stationed his men to defend the city against a counter attack. Sure enough, a large British fleet arrived off the coast of New York and began attacking in the early morning hours of August 27. Soon the larger British forces surrounded the Americans. The British believed that the Americans were totally trapped and had no way to escape. However, Washington a devout Christian turned to God in prayers, asking for divine help. And the following night, he made a desperate attempt to evacuate his trapped army. He had just that night to get 9,000 men to safety without alerting the surrounding British army. Miraculously, through divine help, the British remained unaware and oblivious of the happenings as Washington and his men made their final escape. And when the British woke up the next morning, it was to discover that the American Army had totally escaped from their ambush.

In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat was surrounded by mightier armies. And it looked like there was no way of escape. In 2 Chronicles 20:12, he prayed ‘We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you’.
And in 2 Chronicles 20:17, God responded ‘Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.’

And how did they set themselves for battle? Through praises!
king Jehoshaphat took the rear and allowed God to go ahead. And God took their place in battle and won the victory for them.
Praise compels Him to take over the battles of your life. He takes your place in battle, fights on your behalf, and gives you the victory.
Indeed God knows how to make a way of escape for us out of every tight situation, when we give Him the praise. (Psalm 124:6-8)
There is no mountain that God cannot level, no sea that He cannot dry up, and no “Jordan” that cannot be driven back, to enable you escape from every trap or hindrance to your destiny. Therefore, any time you feel obstructed, surrounded or overwhelmed, instead of panicking, switch to praise. As you give God worthy praise, you will surely find that in your praise is your victory!

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to always praise You in every situation. And as I praise You, I know You will cause me to escape every satanic trap and turn every mourning into dancing for me in Jesus Name.
