Chaim Weizmann was a Russian-born Israeli chemist. He grew up at a time when the Jews had no homeland of their own. Chaim had a burning desire to see the Jewish people return to their historical land so he became involved in the Zionist movement, which was an organization aimed at establishing a homeland for the Jews in Palestine.
After earning a doctorate in chemistry and graduating with honors, Chaim decided to establish himself professionally in order to be able to contribute to the development of the Land of Israel.
An opportunity for such contribution came in the early years of World War 11. As the war raged, Britain faced a huge problem as their military suffered severe shortage of acetone which was a chemical used in firing artillery shells. Chaim Weizmann came to the rescue with his knowledge of science and devised new ways of converting grains to acetone. His extraordinary scientific knowledge enabled Britain to fire millions of artillery shells and saved them from defeat. After the war, the British government sought to reward Chaim by fulfilling his vision of a homeland for the Jews.
On November 2nd 1917, the British Cabinet, approved the signing of ‘the Balfour Declaration’,. This historical document recommended the establishment of a national Jewish homeland in Palestine. This was a major breakthrough for the Jews, and eventually paved the way to the establishment of the modern state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In February 1949, Chaim Weizmann became the first president of Israel. He lived to see his vision become a reality with the establishment and the early success of the State of Israel.

You will be celebrated and rewarded when you provide uncommon answers to the world’s problems.
Our breaking forth will come through positioning ourselves to provide divine solutions in a world where men are perishing for lack of knowledge.
God has placed you here at such a time as this to proffer solutions to the complex economic, political and social problems of the world.
Joseph exhibited such divine wisdom and insight that when the entire world was in a famine, he had the solution. To be outstanding in life we need to seek divine wisdom. The Bible says wisdom is the principal thing, which means it is a major course in the University of Life.
1Corinthians 2:7says God has ordained divine wisdom for our glory.
In these last days as gross darkness covers the earth, glory will cover the Church through display of the manifold wisdom of God.
Today, it doesn’t matter your current status, it is your time to arise and shine because you are the light of the world. Through providing excellent and exceptional solutions you will break forth to the topmost ranks in your field of endeavor. To gain access to such outstanding wisdom we need to seek God intimately.
God says in Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”.
This year, as we seek God passionately, certainly we will be so illuminated by His wisdom, that we will stand out in the world..

PRAYER: Lord, as I draw closer to You please enable me to so manifest Your manifold Wisdom and provide such uncommon solutions that I will become outstanding and be celebrated wherever I go in Jesus Name.

In July 2019, an asteroid whizzed by Earth at a very close distance, startling astronomers who didn’t see it coming.
This asteroid named 2019 OK, was also dubbed a “city killer’ because of the enormous damage it could have done if it had fallen on any city. Scientists estimate the impact to be “over 30 times the energy of the atomic blast at Hiroshima”
Remarkably this disaster was averted without any help from scientists; they were only able to definitively identify it just hours before it passed right by the earth. Generally asteroids are tracked further in advance, but this one was difficult to pick up because it was traveling from the direction of the sun.
Roughly the length of a football field, this asteroid was the largest rock to pass by Earth in about a decade. It was also one of the closest known approaches of an asteroid to Earth since scientists started closely tracking the movements of objects in space.

The truth is that if anything ever goes wrong in outer space, there is little scientists can do to avert a disaster. The whole earth itself is like a dot in the vastness of the universe, so what can man do? God alone is in control and directs the affairs of creation.While scientists failed to see the asteroid on time, it was the One who never sleeps nor slumbers that saw it and prevented it from hitting the earth.
With so many objects flying around in outer space, even scientists admit that it is a miracle that life on our planet has continued without any fatal interruption. Indeed it is only because of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed.
This is why we do not need to fret about issues of life rather we place all our trust in God.
We thank Him continually because our daily existence is a miracle of His grace..
Today, while it may seem you are surrounded by various concerns, you need to be thankful for the gift of life because to him that is joined to the living there is hope. .
You sleep and wake up daily only because the Lord sustains you. If you are yet to achieve certain goals, thank God for salvation of your soul, for divine health, for the ability to use every part of your body; for the ability to eat, drink, see, walk, speak, learn and interact with people etc.
It is only by God’s grace that we can hope to experience breakthroughs and break forth to glorious heights this year.
To take God for granted is to be grounded. Therefore let us continually praise Him, in all things, knowing that just as He is in total control of the universe, He is also in perfect control of our lives.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for being in complete control of my life. I know that no matter what happens, You are able to keep me safe and take me up to glorious heights this year in Jesus Name.

Cher Wang is a devout Christian who constantly gives God the credit for her outstanding success.
Her business achievements have been acclaimed in major international media, including the New York Times and the Financial Times.
Cher Wang has an enviable record in the electronics industry. She co-founded HTC Corporation in 1997. HTC pioneered the smartphone market, and has been widely recognized as a global innovator in mobile devices and technology.
Wang has regularly featured in Fortune’s annual ‘most powerful women’ list. In 2011, Wang was named ‘the most powerful woman in wireless’ by Forbes and one of the wealthiest people in Taiwan.
Wang credits her ability to forge ahead to the vision and guidance she receives from God’s Word. Each day, she gets up at 5:30 am and spends several hours in praying and meditation on God’s Word. She has been widely quoted as saying that the Bible is “the best book about management practice”. Through constant meditation in the Bible she has indeed made her way prosperous and experienced good success.

When we diligently hearken to God’s Word and follow His principles, He promises to set us up on high, above all nations of the earth.
Success is not an issue of chance, but of choice. We make our way prosperous and command good success by our choice to take responsibility and meditate constantly in the Word. (Joshua 1:8).
The secrets of life are hidden in God’s Word and when the Holy Spirit reveals them to us, we become stars in our fields of endeavor.
One of the prominent blessings of diligently hearkening to God’s Word is financial dominion. Deuteronomy 28:12-13 says ‘: …and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath…’
Our lifting and promotion comes from God. He is the glory and lifter up of our heads. God is behind every enduring breakthrough in life.
Proverbs 10:22 tells us that it is God’s blessings that makes rich. These blessings come in form of visions and divine ideas that causes us to achieve uncommon results. Through divine ideas, Joseph, a prisoner was elevated to the prime minister of one of the most powerful nations of the ancient world.
Through divine ideas, God elevates us to prominence and we become the head in our endeavors.
Certainly, the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, favour is not to men of skilful or understanding, It is God that determines the events of every man’s life.[ Ecclesiastes 9:11]
Therefore today, let us make the choice to meditate day and night on God’s Word, so that we will receive the wisdom to break forth limitlessly and enjoy unending breakthroughs in life.
PRAYER;
Lord, Please grant me the grace to constantly sit at Your feet, and to meditate in Your word. As I do, I thank You for imparting into me the power and grace I need to break forth and do exploits in Jesus Name.

Philippians 3:13-14 [TPT] I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-‘

The decisions that George Washington took during America’s Revolutionary War helped him to become one of the most revered military leaders in US history.
George Washington was known as a man of prayer. Anytime he received divine guidance on any issue, he would move forward with persistence and tenacity. He would refuse to deviate even in the face of extreme adversity. Through his strong faith in God, he took decisions that led their army to victory.
One of these times of resolute focus happened when General Washington was approaching a very fierce battle in the war. He and his troops had crossed over a bridge as they were nearing the battlefield.
As General Washington looked toward the battle and then looked back to where they had come from, he knew some of the soldiers may be tempted to run back across the bridge if the battle became too tough.
With the determination to win, George Washington then gave the order; “Burn the bridge, it is either victory or death’
As the bridge was set on fire, it destroyed the option of retreat. So the American soldiers fought with everything in them and eventually had the victory.
Washington’s strong military leadership made him a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America’s first president.

To achieve victory in the pursuit of our goals, we need to “burn the bridge!”. We need to cut off alternative paths that will lead to defeat, stick to God’s plan and fight the good fight of faith..

Retreat is easy when you have an option. People who quit in the face of great challenges are usually those who have alternative plans.

In Acts 27, Paul was traveling to Rome when their ship was buffeted by great storms. Paul had received divine assurance of the safety of everyone in the ship but the ship’s crew had alternative plans. They secretly wanted to abandon the sinking ship and the passengers. As they were lowering a boat to escape, Paul alerted the soldiers who cut off the ropes to the boat. With no other option the crew was forced to remain in the ship and that was how they survived. If they had followed through with an alternative plan to escape, they might have died in the stormy sea.
If you’re going to live by faith, you must cut off the ropes to option B and stick to God’s plan. No matter how fierce the storm, refuse to abandon ship, and keep trusting in God’s Word. Refuse to entertain any option of turning back from following Christ. In the armours listed in Ephesians 6 there is no defense for your back, because you are never meant to turn back.
As soldiers of Christ, we are meant to keep pressing forward to victory. Do not accept defeat, do not accept limitation or compromise. This year, let our battle cry be ‘forward ever and backward never!
As you forget the past and keep pressing forward with God’s plan, you will soon break forth to the glorious fulfillment of every divine agenda and prophetic word concerning you.

PRAYER: Lord , I thank You for the strength to always follow Your plan for my life and never compromise. By Your grace upon my life, I will continually be victorious in battles in Jesus Name.

By age 35, Mike Krieg had achieved his dream – to own a multi-million dollar custom home-building company. He seemed to have it all and focused his life on making more money. He didn’t have time for God and wasn’t going to Church.
He also didn’t have time for his family. In a short period of time, he got divorced and he left his wife and children.
However, by 2004, things were no longer working well and Mike began experiencing failure in his professional life.
He decided to visit his two kids and took them to watch the newly released movie, ‘The Passion of the Christ,’. As he watched this movie, and saw how Christ suffered and shed His Blood for man’s redemption, Mike was deeply touched and began shedding tears.
The next morning, while driving, Mike had a head-on crash with another truck. As he cried out to God he was miraculously protected and was uninjured.
After this incident, everything changed for Mike as he seriously committed his life to Christ. From then on, he no longer cared about pursuing money, rather he desired to serve God. Though his company later folded, all he desired was to live for the Lord. As he prayed for direction, God gave him a new start and directed him to take a new approach in the business of real estate.
As Mike began to serve God with his life and income, soon, he rediscovered financial success. He became wealthier than he once was and is today a force to reckon with in real estate business in America.

Living in the world where money is continually exalted and celebrated, we must guard our hearts with all diligence so as not to shift our focus from God. We must always recognize God as our source of blessings and keep our eyes on Him.
One of the greatest enemies of our destiny is the love of money.
The love of money was what destroyed the lives of Achan and Judas Iscariot.
Gehazi was supposed to carry the double anointing of Elisha but he ended up carrying leprosy all because of the love of money.
To walk effectively with God we need to be careful over the influence of money.
One of the Biblical predictions of the end-times, is that as iniquity abounds in the world, the love of God will wax cold in many hearts. This is why we continually come to God for cleansing of our hearts and purifying of our intentions.
We must seek deliverance from whatever tries to decrease our zeal and love for God and do everything to cut off from the hold of sin, covetousness, greed etc
This year, as we focus on loving God with all our hearts, we will encounter the kind of blessings that “eyes have not seen, and ears have not heard”
Certainly, it will be our season to arise from every spiritual laxity and break forth to glorious new heights of destiny.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your yoke-breaking power that is destroying every spiritual coldness in me. Indeed today, I have won the victory over everything contesting my glorious destiny in Jesus Name.

1 John 4:8-9 ‘ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him’

Valentine’s Day originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine. While there are different historical accounts of his story, a common hagiography describes him as a priest of Rome in the town of Umbria, in central Italy.
For his faith in Christ, he was placed under house arrest by Judge Asterius. One day while speaking of the power of Jesus, the judge put Valentine to the test and brought his blind daughter. He told Valentine that he would do whatever he asked if he succeeded in restoring the girl’s sight. Valentine prayed to God, laid his hands on her eyes and her vision was restored.
As a result of this miracle, the judge, his family, and forty-four members of his household were converted to Christianity. A part of the story states that the young priest Valentine later developed an affectionate relationship with Judge Asterius’ daughter.
Valentine was arrested again for continuing to evangelize and minister to the faithful amidst the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. He was sent to the prefect of Rome, emperor Claudius Gothicus who had him executed on February 14, 269 A.D. Before his execution, it is said he wrote a note to Judge Asterius’s daughter signed “from your Valentine”. This note is said to have inspired today’s romantic missives.
While the martyrdom of Saint Valentine was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day, things later got muddled up in the fifth century by the combining of St. Valentine’s Day with the pagan festival of Lupercalia.

Today little is said about the Christian faith of Saint Valentine, while so much is heard about the celebration of romantic love.
Yet as beautiful as human celebration of love may seem, it pales in comparison to the greatest love of all. To know what true love looks like—we need to look to the Cross where God proved His love. God so loved the world that He made the ultimate sacrifice for our sakes.(1 John 4:8-9).
The love of God is the truest and purest form of love. It is the foundation, upon which any other love can rest.
The truth is that no matter how genuine and sincere anyone may be, their love will always be flawed because of the sinful human nature. Therefore if you are depending on a man or woman to love you perfectly, you may end up with heartaches and disappointments.
Only God can truly and perfectly meet the deep longings of our heart. While human love may sometimes fail you, the love of God will never fail you! You may be rejected, and betrayed, and abandoned by people, but God will always love you with an everlasting love. He will never give up on you.
In the darkest night, He will be right there with you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Truly God is love. He does not try to love you, He cannot help but love you, because that’s who He is.
Therefore today, our celebration of love should be in the fact that God so loved us, that He gave us His only son, to cleanse our hearts from sin and give us the ability to express true love.

PRAYER: Father I thank You for the price You paid to give me a new life and a new heart in Christ. Today, I receive from You the divine ability to truly love others unconditionally even as You have loved me in Jesus Name.

John 15:4-5 ‘I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’

In 2022, Qatar became the first Arab country to host FIFA World Cup. Everything was put in place to ensure their national team won the opening match. But as they faced Ecuador’s national team the world was surprised as Ecuador defeated them by 2-0. Thus Qatar became the first host country to lose its opening match in the 92 years history of the World Cup.
However, Ecuador’s victory was not ordinary.
Several videos on social media show the Ecuador players, most of whom are Christians, praying before each match.
Beyond their professional preparation they relied on God for His divine help and despite all the odds against them they surprisingly won the victory. After the match, several of the players of the Ecuadorian national team, publicly showed their Faith and devotion by kneeling together, praying and giving glory to God. They did this before a principally Muslim audience and in a country where there’s great restriction against Christianity.
The Ecuador team had no intimidation or reservation as they returned all the glory to God, because they recognized Him as the source of their astonishing victory.

The secret of great accomplishments is in realizing you cannot do it alone and relying on God’s empowering grace.
And for us to operate by grace, we need to stay plugged in to Christ, just as an appliance plugs into electricity to function.
Jesus said: “ Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5 NIV).
Truly, victory is not about what you have, but about Who you have. We must stay strongly connected to God and continually acknowledge Him in all our ways, if we want to go far in life. [Proverbs 3:6] As we celebrate God at every opportunity, He will crown our efforts with success.
The road to your promised land will often be marked by giants. To overcome them, you need to fortify yourself with prayers, faith through in-depth study of God’s Word and fellowship with the Spirit. Certainly, when you fight by God’s help, your victory is sure. This year, let us keep giving God all the glory and continually acknowledge Him as our source and sustainer. As we celebrate Him at every juncture of our journey, surely nothing will hinder our triumphing always and breaking forth on every side.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the grace to always depend on You for victory in all my endeavors. I thank You for Your Presence that is making all the difference in my life and causing me to triumph always in Jesus’ Name.

Psalm 34:19 ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.’

One night, Angie Cella, a single mom of four, dreamed about a device that put gems in her hair. She woke up the next morning excited about the idea. A few weeks later, she had a second dream. In this one, God told her, “I want you to make this product.”
What followed was a long and arduous journey as she hired four different engineering firms over four years to produce a viable prototype of what she had seen in her dream. But none of them succeeded. Despite all the letdowns, and failed attempts, she was determined to see the manifestation of her dream. Having made God her business partner, she knew things had to work out, because there was nothing impossible for God to do.
Ultimately, after hiring her fifth engineering firm with the last of her money, she had at least a working prototype. By this time, she had used all her savings, was maxed out in debt, and had been rejected by every investor she had approached.
To begin manufacturing her product and bring it to the market she had to make the big sacrifice of selling their home and belongings to raise the money. She named her product ‘blinger’. Five months later, in October 2018, she took it to a Fair in Dallas Texas, where she had the opportunity to make a presentation to Walmart. By the end of the first day, it was a big hit. Today ‘blinger’ has been endorsed by celebrities and being distributed all over the world.

God’s promise to you is something you have to guard and protect jealously. You have to fight with it even in the face of contrary situations.
It takes patience to obtain the promises of God.
Therefore we must refuse to be weary as we go through the process that births the product. Weariness is a strategy the enemy uses to try to get you to give up when you are closest to your miracle. Many times breakdowns come just before the point of your breakthrough. But no matter how hard the road may seem, keep going forward. As you continue to travail in prayers, you will soon prevail.
Psalm 34:19 says ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.’

We must be conscious that we are in a warfare with an enemy who fights hard to try to discourage us from seeing our harvest. Therefore when God has given you a prophecy, you must be willing to war with it until you see the manifestation. [1 Timothy 1:18].
This year, as we persist in faith, no matter the challenges that may come our, we shall surely triumph at last. .
Let us also stay praise-full, because praise attracts God’s Presence which makes the difference in our story. As long as we remain persistent and joyful we will eventually be fruitful and certainly break forth to unprecedented realms of exploits.

PRAYER: Father, please help me to remain persistent in faith despite the difficulties I may face. I know things are shifting in my favour and soon I shall see miraculous manifestations of Your Word in my life in Jesus’ Name.

Exodus 14:14 ‘ The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.’

Sergei Nikolayevich Kourdakov was born in 1951 in the Soviet Union. At a young age, he ran away from home, became a street urchin and later joined the communist party. With intelligence and ambition, he quickly rose in ranks.
In 1969, Sergie who had become a ruthless young man was appointed as the leader of the Soviet Union Communist Youth League. His main assignment was to break up underground Christian meetings. Sergie eventually succeeded in breaking up over 150 secret meetings of Christians. During these attacks, Christian leaders were killed or arrested and Church members were beaten and terrorized.
However, as the Christians continued to pray and remained persistent in their Church attendance, God began to work on their chief persecutor.
Sergie had often wondered what made the Christians so persistent despite all the attacks on them. So one day, when asked by his superiors to burn some Christian texts, out of curiosity, he hid a hand-written copy of the Gospel of Luke, which he later read in secret. The words of Jesus he read gripped him and gradually began to transform him. With time, he became disillusioned with communism. In January of 1971, he defected to Canada.
When the Soviet Union government told Canada to deport him, Sergie prayed to God to intervene, promising to serve Him. God did intervene and the Canadian government granted him asylum. In keeping with his promise to serve God, Sergie converted to Christianity and became an evangelist who began exposing the evils of communism. He told his story in his autobiography, “The Persecutor”.

Perhaps, today, there may be people who pose as serious oppositions to your growth or progress in life. While they may seem a source of concern, what you have to understand is that everyman’s heart is in God’s hand. He knows how to arrest such people or situations that try to hinder you.
Before his conversion, Saul was a terror to the Christians, locking up men and women for their faith. As believers continued to cry out to God, the most unexpected happened. Saul was arrested by Jesus on his way to Damascus. Overnight, Saul the chief persecutor was turned around to become the chief promoter of the Church.
God knows how to turn around those that be against you, to be for you. God can convert your oppressors to become your up-lifters. Those who opposed you will begin to applaud you, and those who berated you will celebrate you. Certainly, when a man’s ways please the Lord, He will cause even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Therefore, rather than bother about the threats of the enemy, just remain strongly connected to God through a life of fervent prayers, When God is on your side, there is no battle or situation that can overcome you.
In 1 Samuel 19:20-24, King Saul was persecuting David. When he sent soldiers to arrest David, God arrested the soldiers and they began to prophesy. When Saul himself went, he too was arrested by the power of God and began to prophesy.
Those people who seem to be a source of harassment to you, God can arrest them for your sake. Therefore in times of challenges, instead of panicking, go on your knees and report the matter to God. In this season, let your focus be on pleasing God and you will be amazed how He can turn around situations in your favor and cause you to truly break forth on every side.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to bless You at all times, so that by Your power I can overcome the oppositions against me. I thank You Lord because even right now, I know You are granting me amazing turnarounds in evey area in Jesus’ Name.

Job 36:11 ‘If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.’

William Booth, grew up in poverty. When his father could no longer afford his school fees, he apprenticed the 13-year-old William to a pawnbroker. William found his job as a pawnbroker’s apprentice very difficult because he watched poor people part with their most precious things just to have some money to meet basic needs.
He hoped one day he would be able to help them. William Booth became a Christian when he was a teenager. He wanted to do everything he could to please God. Soon he started to preach the Gospel. But the burning desire to help the poor never left him. He looked to God to make a way.
Later in life he become a Methodist preacher and in 1865, he founded the Salvation Army with a focus on helping the poor.
Through God’s help, the ministry rapidly grew.. It eventually established its work of distributing humanitarian aids to the needy in 58 countries.
In later years, the Salvation Army was so successful that William Booth was received in audience by kings, emperors and presidents, who were among his ardent admirers. However despite the height of success he attained, William.Booth continually gave all the credit to God for taking him from grass to grace.

Dedication to serving God and blessing humanity is the mystery behind distinction in life.
As believers we are created to be cause-driven. Our blessings are connected to our cause towards service to God and helping humanity .When you invest your life in living for God and blessing people, you will find true riches, joy and peace.
The reason why some people don’t see much blessings in their lives is because they’re in-grown. They are focusing only on themselves and what they can get from others, instead of what they can give. The Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive.
When you live as a giver, God has in store for you, great open doors, break throughs and great opportunities. The truth is that rising to your next level of destiny is connected to lifting others!
You will reap whatever you sow and what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. Our breakthroughs are determined by our willingness to help others breakthrough in life.
When we diligently serve God’s purpose on earth and become a channel of His blessing to mankind, we shall be richly rewarded and truly break forth on every side.

PRAYER: Father please help me to always make You top priority in my life. This year may I diligently seek Your divine purpose and become a blessing to humanity in every way I can in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: It takes a heart for God to make a mark in the sands of time. – WORDBITE 201.
