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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mathew 7: 25 ‘And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

The catastrophic earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, 2023, killed about 50,000 people and more than 160,000 buildings containing 520,000 apartments collapsed or were severely damaged in the disaster which was the worst in the country’s modern history.
The fact that most of the collapsed buildings were newly constructed raised questions about the integrity of the construction companies.
After previous earthquake disasters in Turkey, building codes were tightened and the bar was raised. The country’s recent ethics meant that new buildings should withstand earthquakes to a degree.
But failure of construction companies to obey these new building regulations had led to the catastrophic death toll. Ironically, many of the victims had bought or rented those buildings because of advertisements that boasted that they were earthquake proof.
After an international outcry was raised, Turkey’s ministry of justice began a crackdown on those responsible for the poor constructions, leading to the arrest of nearly 200 people.

The buildings that withstand earthquakes are those that strictly follow building ethics.
Likewise, when we build our lives according to spiritual ethics, we will withstand the storms and quakes of life.
According to divine protocol, endeavors are first established spiritually before they can succeed physically. Therefore, by investing time at the beginning of this year to wait upon the Lord, what we have done is to establish strong spiritual foundation for the coming months.
The time we have spent in digging deep spiritually, will ensure that we will survive any trial or storm that may come our way. While others may fall, we will rise and where others may perish, we will flourish.
Spending the beginning part of the year to hear from the Lord will enable us to build in accordance with God’s purpose and pattern. We are in the end-times, which is a crucial season when we cannot afford to live anyhow or do whatever appeals to us, because Heaven is executing a definite divine agenda on earth.
The extra mile we have gone in this season to seek God, is meant to sharpen us spiritually to have the right focus as we run our race this year. Also through waiting upon the Lord we have received the strength to soar like eagles and be positioned for constant victory.
With such spiritual preparations, it is certainly our year to keep flourishing and breaking forth on every side. No matter what may be happening in the world, because we have built upon the solid foundation of God’s Word, we keep rising to greater heights and never fall.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for empowering me to go forth and do exploits this year. By Your grace I shall keep soaring to greater heights of victory because my year has been committed into Your able hands in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: When God is on your side, anything is possible. WORDBITE 222

Acts 4:31 ‘And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.’

On 5th November, 2006, fifteen years old Jen Barrick performed at the Thomas Road Baptist Church with her high school choir.
It was a milestone for Jen and her mother had invited guests to come over to their home afterwards to celebrate. However, as Jen, her brother and parents headed home, a night of sweet celebration turned to sorrow for the Barrick family as a drunk driver, traveling 80 mph, struck the family van. The impact of the accident was so horrendous that it left the drunk driver’s engine in the middle of the road and the Barrick family in critical conditions.
All four members of the family were taken by helicopter to three different hospitals. But Jen was the hardest hit. She was in the deepest level of coma and no one thought she would live through the night.
As the news of the accident spread, their church family at Thomas Road Baptist church prayed fervently for a miracle. Over the next few weeks the other members of the family recovered except Jen who remained in a coma. As prayers continued relentlessly for her, after five weeks an amazing miracle took place. Jen suddenly woke up from the coma singing praise songs and quoting Scripture verses.
Today, Jen Barrick is a minister of the Gospel, who goes around the world sharing the amazing miracle of God in her life. Her story is captured in the book titled “Miracle for Jen: A Tragic Accident, a Mother’s Desperate Prayer, and Heaven’s Extraordinary Answer.”

Miracles are not magic but God’s response to the cry of men’s hearts.
In situations that seem impossible in the natural, when we pray, the supernatural power of God brings about a miraculous turnaround.
Fasting and praying is a spiritual force that opens the way for the flow of miracles and ignites the explosive dynamic power of Heaven in our circumstances.(James 5:16).
Therefore, as we have prayed and fasted in this period, dynamic power has been released that will cause us to truly break forth on every side and achieve extraordinary results this year.
Just as the disciples prayed in Acts 4:31 and were filled with the Holy Ghost, spoke the Word of God with boldness and went forth and did wonders; we are stepping out of this season of prayers with divine boldness to impact our world.
Through us God will do miracles, signs and wonders this year. Let us therefore remain spiritually on fire and not lose the fervency we have gained in these days of prayers.
As we have called upon God,, His power has gone before us to break in pieces the gates of brass, cut in sunder the bars of iron and destroy every resistance on our path this year ( Isaiah 45:2).
Certainly, we have come into a change of season. It is time to get ready to experience yoke-breaking anointing in our health, finances, family, and every other area of our lives. Because praise precedes the victory, let us begin to praise God in expectation of the great and mighty things He will do for us this year. It is indeed our year to break forth to limitless dimensions in every area.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace and strength You have granted me through this period of fasting and prayer. I praise You for the extraordinary exploits You are set to do in my life this year in Jesus Name.

Matthew 16:19 ‘And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’

Vernon Brewer is the founder and president of World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization that is listed among the largest charities in the world. Vernon is a cancer survivor whose miracle came through the power of praying and fasting.
In the 1980’s, Vernon Brewer was working at Liberty University as a Vice President and dean of students, when he was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors told him he had just a few weeks to live. He was a man greatly loved at the university, so when the news of his diagnosis became public, there was an unanimous decision for the students and staff to fast and pray for him.
They went as far as partially closing down the school dining hall so that everyone could fast.
In addition to foregoing food, everyone was asked to pray for one solid hour daily. The students divided themselves into a 24 hour prayer chain as they prayed and fasted for the healing of Vernon Brewer.
God indeed answered their prayers. After Vernon underwent surgery, the death verdict was overturned and the cancer was successfully removed.
Ever since he has remained cancer free. He then dedicated his life to serving God through the founding of ‘World Help’, which distributes over $300 million in relief to major disaster zones across the world.

No matter how terrible the verdict, there can be no closed case against a child of God.
Even where medical science fails, the power of Christ will always prevail. Jesus has given us the keys of the kingdom to open impossible doors.[Matthew 16:19]
One of these, is the key of praying and fasting. Fasting gives us access to God’s power which is capable of tearing down insurmountable barriers and stubborn strongholds.
In the Scriptures, when the disciples faced difficult situations, fasting and praying was a key they often applied to gain victory.
In Acts 27, when Paul and the people with him on the ship faced certain death through shipwreck, he resorted to fasting and praying to find a solution. After 14 days, the answer came through an angelic visitation that gave him assurance that everyone on the ship would be saved.
Today, if you are facing any condition that has defied solutions, this season of fasting and praying is a good time to table them before Jesus and expect miraculous answers. Every case brought to Jesus during His earthly ministry, received instant attention.
Matthew 15:30 says, “A vast crowd brought to Him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who couldn’t speak, and many others. They laid them before Jesus, and He healed them all.”
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did before, He is doing again today. It is His will that we prosper and be in health; even as our soul prospers. [3 John 1:2].
Therefore, let us be confident of speedy answers to our prayers to Him in this season. Certainly, by God’s grace this is our year to break through insurmountable barriers and break forth to explosive new dimensions of growth and progress in every area.

PRAYER: Lord, in this season of prayers, I thank You for releasing Your supernatural power to handle any impossible situation in my health, finances, family and every other area of my life in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: You will never need more than God to experience the impossible in life. WORDBITE 222.

Matthew 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

In 2019, there were many media reports on the amazing story of Ernestine Reese who survived an EF-4 tornado that tore through Lee County, Alabama.
While the tornado devoured things in its path and killed 23 people, 72 year old Ernestine Reese miraculously survived with her family as they prayed through the storm.
A remarkable aspect of their survival was that while their house was completely destroyed to its foundation, Ernestine’s prayer closet was left standing.
Without logical explanation, this closet where Earnestine Reese had often retreated to pray for decades remained unbroken among the debris. . Items in the closet didn’t even fall to the ground, her church clothes, hats and purses all remained intact.
Infact, the prayer closet was about the only thing left standing still intact in their devastated neighborhood.
When the story and picture of the prayer closet was shared on Facebook, it went viral and brought much media attention to 72-year-old Earnestine. Her story is included in the book, ‘Prayer Still Moves Mountains’ by Harris Faulkner.

Obviously, there was a divine Presence that shielded the prayer closet and protected Earnestine and her family.
This story should be a powerful reminder to us on the importance of having a place of daily fellowship with God. It is only when we are dwellers, not “visitors” in the secret place of the Most High, that we can abide under the shadow of the Almighty and He will be our refuge and fortress.
The secret of power in prayer is keeping a daily appointment with God. There’s power in consistency. People miss out on many miracles by not maintaining a daily prayer altar.
Jesus often went to a solitary place to pray daily.
In Matthew 6:6, He said that when we pray we should enter into a closet or inner room, shut the door, and pray to our Father in secret and we shall be rewarded openly.
Maintaining a secluded place of daily fellowship is spiritually critical, because it takes privacy to build intimacy with God.
Therefore, beyond the season of fasting and praying, we need to keep the fire burning daily on our prayer altar to keep breaking forth to higher grounds and scaling to greater heights. Just as you go to your clothes closet to get what to wear in the physical realm, your prayer closet is where you become clothed daily for spiritual warfare and armed for victory. Consistent prayer is a barrier-breaker and obstacle-remover on our path of progress. This year, as we deliberately set aside a time and place to daily communicate with God, we will not only be protected from the storms of life, we will enjoy unending triumphs and inexplicable breakthroughs.

PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace and strength to be disciplined about my prayer life. May the fire of the Holy Spirit continually burn in my life and never go out in Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: As long as Jesus is in your boat, you cannot sink or fail. God’s Presence always guarantees your victory. WORDBITE 222 .

Romans 8:34 ‘ It is Christ who died, yea rather, who is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Bishop Horace Strand of the Faith Temple Church is author of the book, ‘”He’s a Prayer-Answering God’.
The book is filled with his personal testimonies of the power of prayer and faith in God. After getting married in 1975, he was shocked when his wife Doreen was diagnosed with cancer. He and a fellow brother took time out to fast and pray and believe for her healing. Miraculously she was healed and when she went back to the doctors they were so astounded by her recovery they didn’t send her any medical bill.
The power of prayer also delivered his son who was born retarded. When Dr. Horace attacked the spirit of retardation through prayer, his son was instantly delivered and became a normal child.
Horace Strand faced perhaps the greatest trial of his life when one day he was shot in the face with a double-barrel shotgun, by an unknown assailant. He was blinded instantly in both eyes, and was losing life rapidly. He staggered to the telephone to try to make a telephone call, but was unable to. As his life hung in the balance, he called upon God and was miraculously sustained until help came and he was rushed to the hospital. Medically, his case appeared hopeless, but as he lay close to death’s door, his wife Doreen arose and mounted fervent spiritual warfare, together with other Christian brethren. Their relentless prayers eventually secured his full miraculous recovery.
Today, Dr. Horace Strand is a church founder, and executive manager of Chester City’s Storm Water Authority in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Everyone in life faces challenges but the advantage we have as Christians is that we are guaranteed victory through the power of prayer.
Jesus shed His Blood on the Cross to make power available for us to be overcomers.
After His resurrection, He declared in Matthew 28:18 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
Jesus did not only delegate authority to us to dominate on earth, He ascended into Heaven to represent us before God. Jesus is declared a priest forever and He is at the right hand of God interceding for us. (Romans 8:34)
So we are never alone in our battles, we have a big brother in Heaven. He is our divine back-up. His Name is a strong tower that we run into and are safe.
As we engage His Blood in spiritual warfare, we are bound to emerge triumphant. Whatever giant you may face today in your health, finances, relationships etc, confront them in prayer with the confidence that Christ has guaranteed you the victory. Certainly, by the power in the Blood we have overcome every enemy of our breaking forth this year. By God’s grace we have come into a glorious new season of unending breakthroughs, miraculous turnarounds, divine elevations and outstanding testimonies.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You because by the Blood of Jesus I am truly an overcomer. I know You have heard my prayers in this season and I praise You in expectation of the miraculous and speedy answers coming my way in Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: As we face life’s battles, the joy is that our faithful God is both our coach and referee and will not blow the whistle until we win. WORDBITE 201.

Ephesians 6:8 ‘Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free..’

Brad Tuttle is founder of the Spiritual Warfare Attack Team (SWAT). He has run this prayer ministry for almost three decades and their mission is to make house calls in desperate situations, to pray for people in need.
In March 2023, 72 year old Brad Tuttle faced his own dire prayer emergency. He collapsed in his home and his body was deprived of a pulse and oxygen for many minutes.
His wife stood in faith praying and performing CPR until paramedics arrived.
Interestingly, the two first-responders were both Christians and one of them was a recipient of prayers from Brad’s ministry. While these men worked on Brad to get a pulse, they also prayed for him. Being 72 years old, meant Brad had the medical statistics stacked against him. But as the two Christian paramedics continued to pray, the situation that had seemed hopeless suddenly changed positively. To their amazement, 30 seconds later, Brad’s eyes opened, and his pulse returned. He started asking what had happened, regaining full consciousness.
That was an absolute miracle because he had no brain activity for about 28 minutes and yet didn’t suffer any brain damage. Even while he was in the hospital, spiritual warriors he had raised in India, Argentina, Japan, Thailand and across the U.S. continued to pray for him. Brad finally made full recovery and today continues to live a healthy life.

Brad Turtle had spent years praying for people, and when he faced trouble, miraculously, the first responders were Christian paramedics and also a prayer chain was raised for him in countries around the world. .
According to Isaiah 58:6-7, the kind of fasting and praying God has chosen for us aims at making prayer investments in the lives of people to loosen their bondages, lift heavy burdens, free those who are oppressed and break every yoke.
Certainly, what we make happen for others, God will make happen for us.
James 5:16 [Amp] says ‘..And pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored.’
If you are seeking healing and restoration, this season is a good time to make prayer investment in the lives of others. Pray fervently for them as if praying for yourself and whatever you do in secret, the Lord will surely reward you openly.
As you allow God to work through you to bring miracles into the lives of others, He will do the same for you in greater measure.
Ephesians 6:8 says that ‘whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord’.
The prayer seeds we sow in the lives of others, we will reap as harvest of blessings and answered prayers.
Job 42:10 says ‘And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Just as God gave Job, double for his troubles, as we pray for others in this season, God will turn around every captivity for us, multiply us exceedingly and cause us to break forth and break through to enviable heights of destiny this year.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the grace to look beyond my own needs and make prayer investments in the lives of others. I thank You for divine rewards of multiplied blessings in every area of my life in Jesus Name.

1 Timothy 1:18 ‘This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;’

Recently, CBN News featured a miraculous story of the power of prayer.
Nicole and Leroy Longoria had four wonderful daughters but desired to have a boy. After much prayer, Nicole received a word of promise from God that she would have a son and it would be a double portion blessing. Shortly after, in January of 2022, Nicole was overjoyed to learn she was pregnant with twin boys in fulfillment of God’s promise. However at week 12 of the pregnancy, the babies developed – Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. This meant that one of the babies was donating all of his nutrients to the other baby and it could end in the death of one baby or both.
Nicole went on her knees in prayer and called upon God to intervene. Few days later, she went for checkup and her doctor was utterly amazed to see that the syndrome had suddenly disappeared and her pregnancy was developing properly. Nicole praised God.
But at twenty-seven weeks, her water suddenly broke in the bathroom and she prematurely gave birth to the first twin on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital where the second twin was delivered. Both boys were in critical condition and one was so close to death the doctors wanted to pull the plug of the respirator, but Nicole refused to allow it as she resorted again to prayers. God answered her and against all odds, the twin boys eventually miraculously survived. Today they are perfectly healthy baby boys and are a living proof of God’s faithfulness and the power of prayer.

Isaiah 53 begins with a question, “Whose report will you believe”?
When God has given you a prophecy and a good report, but you are confronted by a bad report, whose report will you believe?
We need to remain steadfast in holding on to God’s Word.
God’s promise to you is something you have to guard and protect from being stolen by the enemy. You have to fight with prophecies in the face of negative situations.

Paul told Timothy “This charge I commit unto you, my son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you, that you might war a good warfare; holding faith..’ [1 Timothy 1:18].

Victory results when we use the prophetic word spoken over us as weapons to wage spiritual warfare.
The truth is that we must travail in prayers in order to prevail in life. We must kneel in prayer to stand in victory.
And as we persist in this season of prayers and fasting, no matter the challenges, God will surely fulfill His Word to us.
Psalm 34:19 says ‘Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.’

As we confront afflictions and trials with prayers, every wall of resistance will soon come tumbling down.
Certainly, it is our year to break forth on every side, and as we war with this prophecy, God will exceed our expectations and cause us to break forth to unprecedented realm of exploits.

PRAYER: Father, please help me to remain persistent in this season of prayer. I know things are shifting in my favour and soon I shall see prophetic fulfillment and miraculous manifestations of Your Word in Jesus’ Name.

Luke 21:36 ‘Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass..’

While Idi Amin was president of Uganda, a three-story building high on Nakasero hill in Kampala was where most of his atrocities were carried out.
The official name for the building was the State Research Bureau,[SRB]. But during Amin’s rule, the bureau had little to do with affairs of state, or any sort of research. Instead, the building was the headquarters for Idi Amin’s dreaded secret police. It was Idi Amin’s personal murder factory.
In that place about 300 men and women, who were handpicked employees worked secretly to carry out Amin’s bidding. Their unquestioning loyalty to Amin set them apart.
Here, “enemies of the state” were brought. Offices became torture chambers where agents of Idi Amin dealt with their victims. Sometimes as many as 20 people were killed in a single day.
Idi Amin, killed up to 500,000 people, persecuted Christians, and left Uganda a broken nation.
However despite Amin’s reign of terror, Christians in Uganda did not give up praying. It was a most discouraging time as it seemed there was no help.
But their unrelenting prayers eventually began to yield fruit. After eight years of his brutal reign, Amin was finally overthrown and his cohorts went on the run. The end of Amin’s rule was a big answer to prayer for the Christians in Uganda.

Truly, the fervent, effectual prayer of the righteous accomplishes much. Despite Amin’s reign of terror, when the Ugandan Christians refused to relent and persisted in prayer, God intervened and overturned the rule of the wicked.
God is committed in protecting those who trust in Him.
Today, it is very clear we are living in very perilous times where evil seeks to reign with the rampant news of insurgency, banditry, kidnapping etc. With such unprecedented wave of insecurity and uncertainties, there is a natural tendency for men to be fearful.
However, as Christians we have power to change things through persistent prayers.
As long as we put our trust in God, He has promised that no evil shall befall us and no plague can come near our dwelling place.
Though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; we will not fear. Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof; God remains our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble [Psalm 46].
We already know from 2 Timothy 3:1 that in the last days, wickedness will increase and we are already seeing it. But in Luke 21:36, Jesus said ‘Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass..’
To escape becoming a prey of the wicked, we must pray. Divine protection is our only sure hope because Police can fail, security gadgets can fail, intelligence services can fail; only God never fails, never sleeps nor slumbers.
In this season of fasting and prayer, let us be deliberate to pray for divine protection over our families and loved ones. By God’s grace, we shall never fall victim to the wicked, rather we shall keep rising higher to glorious heights and keep breaking forth on every side.

PRAYER: Father I thank You for establishing Your protection over me. As I seek You passionately and fervently I know that I shall be preserved from the perils of these end-times in Jesus’ Name.
