Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (Ephesians 6:16). There are times when troubling thoughts may run through the mind, creating feelings of distress and agitation. Some people think they’re just being emotional when this happens. But what they don’t realize is that the enemy often seeks to take advantage of their emotions by bombarding their minds with negative thoughts. These are fiery darts and missiles. When such negative emotions, resulting from negative thoughts are left unchecked, they could soon lead to anxiety and despondency. These are signs that the adversary is attempting to create turmoil through the mind. But Ephesians 6:16 says, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” At such moments when you find yourself wrestling with thoughts of gloom, use your shield of faith. Actively vocalize the Word of God. Remember, faith must be vocalized and put to work. You ought to declare, “I refuse to be anxious, fretful, nervous or apprehensive. I’m born of God and have overcome Satan, the world and its negative and debilitating effects.” If you don’t actively use your faith against the missiles the enemy throws at your mind, the attacks may extend from the mind to the body. It’s the reason you must be quick to use the Word to cut out and expel all negative thoughts and wicked imaginations. Declare that your spirit, soul, body and mind belong to the Lord and are thus sanctified by the Spirit. Your bold, faith-filled declarations put you over and above every assault of the adversary. The shield of faith quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked. Henceforth, if terrible thoughts come to your mind or something unusual appears in your body, maybe it’s a swelling, a hardening or any abnormality, kill it with your faith-filled words. Your words are not ordinary. The Bible talks about the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word or “Rhema” (Greek) of God (Ephesians 6:17). “Rhema” is the spoken Word, the Word of God that you speak forth. So, when you face challenges, refuse to fret or be moved; rather, declare your victory in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ….” This is the victorious life in Christ; we use the Word against the enemy. We’re triumphant by the Spirit through our faith-filled words. Glory to God! PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for the shield of faith by which I quench every fiery dart of the enemy. I’m triumphant by the Spirit through my faith-filled confessions. I’m sanctified and vitalized to walk in victory, strength and divine health, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Therefore, my body, my soul, and everything about me conform to God’s will. I live in God’s deathless zone, walking in the light of His Word. I live the glorious life in Christ, now and always. I take complete charge over my life as I proclaim the Name of Jesus in my health and everything that concerns me or is connected to me. I celebrate the triumphant life that the birth, sacrificial death, and resurrection of Jesus have given to me. I celebrate the divine life in me, which is far above sickness and all the corrupting influences of the world. I am born of God’s Spirit; I have the very life and nature of my heavenly Father. I am not ordinary, for I am of the uninfectible breed that doesn’t get sick.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4). For us to enjoy peace and prosperity in all godliness and honesty in our societies, the Word of God shows us what to do. We must pray as outlined for us in our opening scripture above. When we do, we will witness the salvation of leaders, heads of institutions, and those in positions of authority. Consequently, the nations will flourish with prosperity and peace. The Holy Spirit, the Chief Strategist, knows exactly how to influence things along these lines. He knows how to convict the leaders, bring them into the Kingdom and cause them to do the right things. Imagine the impact when you intercede for your city, for institutions, the president and his cabinet members, state governors, legislators, commissioners, justices of the Supreme Court, judges, etc. It’ll result in a great harvest because it’s God’s plan. Don’t let anyone convince you that we’re praying too much for the nations. Our prayers are shaping destinies and bringing God’s will to pass. This is God’s blueprint for a quiet and peaceable life, not one achieved by chance or political reforms but by the deliberate prayers of Christians who believe and know the truth. So, take your place in intercession. Become the channel for God’s righteousness, peace and prosperity to permeate your city as the Gospel thrives and the will of God is established in the hearts of men. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for showing me how to pray effectively. I take my place in prayer, interceding for all men, for leaders and those in authority, that they may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. I declare that the Gospel has free course in the nations and the hearts of men are turned to righteousness. Thank you for the great harvest of souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). As Christians, we live the life of victory in Christ Jesus. This isn’t something we strive for; it’s our heritage. We’re kings and priests, ordained to reign in life. However, not all have come to this understanding. You must train yourself to think, talk, and function with the mindset of a reigning king-priest because that’s who you truly are. You have the dominion. Kings reign. They don’t beg. They exercise authority. This should be your consciousness every day. Don’t struggle to be successful or to prosper; you’ve been made a joint-heir with Christ. Everything you do should reflect kingly glory and excellence. Read our opening scripture in the Amplified Classic; embrace it and walk accordingly. It says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Sadly, some live far below their calling because they haven’t renewed their minds to this truth. They speak the language of failure and act like mere men, not realizing they are royalty. Carry yourself with dignity, authority, and dominion. Walk with confidence because you know your words carry power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power….” Romans 5:17, AMPC says, “…those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” If this hasn’t been your mindset, change it today. Declare, “I am a king-priest in Christ! I walk in dominion, I reign in life, and I display the virtues of my heavenly Father!” This is your heritage. This is your life in Christ. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for calling me into a life of victory, excellence and dominion. I am a king-priest, called to reign in life and display your perfections. My words carry power, and I walk in the consciousness of my divine authority. Thank you for this glorious life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I live in the Christ environment where life is totally different; everything is glorious. I have absolute mastery over circumstances and over the elements of this world. There’s no failure, weakness, defeat, sickness, disease, poverty, or any of the negativities of life in me. Christ is my all; I’m complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power; there’s no shortage in my life. I’m full of ideas, inspiration, with wealth, prosperity and all the blessings of the Kingdom; and out of that abundance, I impact my world. I’ve been created for good works and predestinated for the good life; there is nothing wrong in my body. I’ve got everything I require for an excellent life. In Christ, I have received the life of glory, honor, and excellence; a life where there’s no form of death, sickness, disease, or infirmity. As the Father has life in Himself, so has He given the Son to have life in Himself. I have the Son; therefore, I have life! I have eternal life! My body only expresses God’s glory and beauty. My body is God’s temple, and I am its steward. Today, I am living the life of victory and dominion that Jesus purchased for me through His vicarious death, burial, and resurrection. God’s Word is truth and everything He said about my health and life is reality. The Word of God produces health, strength, vitality, and all the blessings and provisions that it talks about. I’m living in health 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; no weapon formed or fashioned against me shall prosper. My body is invigorated by the Spirit of God who lives in me. Nothing in me or about me dies or succumbs to the corrupting influences of this world. I rule over all the forces of darkness as I manifest the glory of God everywhere I go. I’m eternally victorious in Christ. I have power over crises; I’m prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere. I live above, and far beyond the distracting elements of this world, because I live in Christ! My life is the testimony of God’s grace. I have been brought into a place of wealth untold in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come (1 Timothy 4:8). There’s a phenomenon known as deja vu, the feeling, sense or consciousness that something that’s happening has been experienced or seen before. You might have experienced such a thing at one time or the other; it just lends credence to the fact that man is a spirit. When something happens and you feel like you’ve seen or experienced it before, it’s because your spirit was truly involved in the experience even though you’re not able to tell when. It might have either been through a trance, vision, or even as low as a dream. Many have been trying to explore this, wondering if such experiences are even real. Well, the human spirit does have its own activities and they can happen whether you’re awake or asleep, conscious, unconscious or subconscious. How do you take advantage of that? It’s by training and educating your human spirit through deep study, meditating, and acting on the Word. Your involvement in church, learning God’s Word in your cell and fellowship groups, attending services, and studying Rhapsody of Realities all contribute to the training of your spirit. But you can accelerate the process by deliberately studying God’s Word and putting it to work. James 1:22 & 25 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” As you act on the Word, your spirit is trained, your understanding is sharpened, and you become more attuned to spiritual realities. CONFESSIONMy spirit is attuned to spiritual realities, being enlightened by God’s Word. I grow in wisdom and walk in greater spiritual awareness. I refuse to be limited by human reasoning, for I function with the mind of Christ. Thank you, heavenly Father, for the light of your Word in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭1 Corinthians 2:12-14 KJVNow we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. ‭‭Joshua 1:8 KJVThis book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. ‭‭James 1:22-25 KJVBut be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Therefore, I hold fast to the profession of faith without wavering, and I affirm today that my life, health, family, and finances are consistent with God’s Word for my life.

The silver and the gold are mine, including the cattle upon a thousand hills; thus, I refuse to be limited by anything in this world. I am a free-flowing conduit of God’s wealth and blessings to others, and I am plugged to an unending supply. I rule and reign in this life, independent of the financial systems of this world. I am guaranteed of continued financial supplies; I am plugged into an unending supply. Everything is under command to favour my increase and promotion.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Some people often use the expression “the subconscious mind” when referring to the human spirit. But for those who think of the metaphysical conceptions of life, the subconscious mind is much more than a state where a person is only partially conscious. Rather, it refers to another side of the unexplored or inexplorable human nature. The truth is, when you analyze their descriptions of the subconscious state, they’re actually referring to the human spirit. In 2 Corinthians 4:16, for example, Paul calls it the inward man: “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” The apostle Peter in his first epistle calls it the hidden man of the heart: “But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Peter 3:4). Those who lack a proper understanding of the true nature of man refer to the human spirit as the “subconscious mind.” The Bible doesn’t talk about a subconscious mind; rather, it reveals the threefold nature of man—spirit, soul, and body. As you study the Scriptures, you’ll see that on one hand, the spirit and soul are used synonymously, referring to the inward man—the unseen, hidden man within the veil of the body. However, in a more specific sense, the terms spirit and soul are distinct. The spirit refers to the actual inward man, while the soul is a tool of the spirit. The soul is to the spirit what the brain is to the body. The human spirit perceives and interacts with the world through his soul. The soul houses the spiritual senses of the inward man, enabling him to relate to both spiritual and natural realities. In essence, the human spirit is the core of your being—that’s the real you—where God lives. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for the understanding of my true nature in Christ. My spirit is alive to you, and through my soul, I express the realities of your divine life within me. I walk in the consciousness of my divine nature, fulfilling your purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21). When you yield to the Holy Spirit, He stirs you up; He directs your actions and words. I remember the first time I experienced something like that. I had just returned home after receiving the Holy Spirit, and later that day we gathered for our usual family devotion. It followed the familiar routine where each person would read a verse of scripture, and then my dad would lead the prayer or assign any one of us to do so. That day, after we had each read the Scriptures, my dad turned to me and asked me to lead the prayer. As I opened my mouth to pray, I instantly burst forth speaking in tongues. It was loud and fast. I was overwhelmed by the Spirit, and I began to prophesy. That had never happened during our family prayer times. On another occasion, I was sitting in the back of the main church, a young teenager at the time, but I felt the Spirit of God ignite a fire within me as the meeting was going on. Before I knew it, He set me on my feet and I began speaking in tongues and prophesying. The whole church went quiet, but everyone was inspired and edified. When I was done, the senior pastor led the whole congregation into a session of intense prayers. There’re moments like that when the Spirit of God moves you. The Prophet Ezekiel said, “Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet…” (Ezekiel 3:24). You can experience such glorious moments with the Holy Spirit every day; the key is being yielded to Him. His fire in you is ever glowing. He’s in you and with you forever. He said in Hebrews 13:5, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Then in Matthew 28:20 (NKJV), He said, “…lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” All the while you had the urge and then went ahead to visit hospitals, prisons, the marketplaces of life to preach, it was the Holy Spirit stirring you. He was the one guiding your steps. When you felt compelled to witness to your classmates, your neighbours, colleagues at work, family members and even strangers you met on the way, it was the Holy Spirit stirring you. This is His ministry in your life today; He empowers you to speak and act according to the Father’s will. As you remain completely yielded to Him, His power and wisdom will be expressed through you. You’re His vessel for the fulfilment of His plans and purposes in the earth. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and moves me to speak your words with boldness and power. I’m always yielded to your guidance and divine inspiration, stirred always to fulfil your perfect will and my calling in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭Ezekiel 2:1-2 KJVAnd he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. ‭‭Jeremiah 20:9 KJVThen I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay]. ‭‭Acts 1:8 AMPCBut you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

I affirm that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life. My old life has been completely supplanted by the divine life, which is superior to sickness, disease, defeat and the depravities of the natural man. I refuse to allow resentment, hatred, jealousy, envy, bitterness, anger, strife, spite, ill will or baseness of any kind to take root in me. My heart is full of God’s love, kindness and compassion; and I express these lavishly everywhere and to everyone. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I get stronger and healthier daily. Like the eagle, my strength is renewed. I do not wane because I live in an ageless zone. I belong to the God class and I only give expression to His virtues because I was made for His glory. I have the very life and nature of God because I am born again. I am in the centre of God’s will for my life and I am equipped with all things that pertain to life and godliness. I am filled with the fullness of God! The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly heritage. I do not struggle nor respond in fear because God had not given unto me the spirit of fear. I declare that there is money everywhere, especially around me. I do not need to look for money. Money is coming to me from everywhere.

They strategize to silence God’s truth and hinder those who boldly proclaim it. But we can’t be quiet. Necessity is laid upon us to preach the Gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16). The Gospel is too precious, and the joy too overwhelming, to keep to ourselves. It makes no difference the rage of the enemy; no amount of obnoxious laws, threats, systems or evil structures can deter us or suppress the truth. They lack the power to stop the advancement of God’s Kingdom. It brings to mind the words of the psalmist: “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm 2:1-4). Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper….” The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, “…I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The Church is marching on, and there’s no force on earth or from hell that can prevail against it. As long as we keep the fight on, on our knees, we’re unstoppable. That’s our strategy, our strength and our advantage. When opposition arises, we don’t worry or give in to fear. Through prayer, we receive divine wisdom, insight, and solutions. We’re strengthened with might by God’s Spirit in our inner being. In these last days, preach the Gospel without holding back. Remember, this year, we’re completing the full preaching of the Gospel to all nations. We’re doing it with confidence, in the demonstration of the Spirit and power, nothing, and no man forbidding us. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege, opportunities, grace and power to preach the Gospel undeterred, with boldness and faith, in the demonstration of the Spirit and power. Your Word prevails in the nations of the earth and righteousness rains upon all their inhabitants. Your children are full of joy as they preach the Gospel around the world today, for the salvation of many, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭Isaiah 54:17 AMPCBut no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord. ‭‭Acts 26:14 KJVAnd when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks. ‭‭Acts 2:44-47 KJVAnd all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. I am strengthened with divine enablement in my inner man by the Holy Ghost. I function today with the Spirit of might, dominion, and excellence. The Word of God has mastery over my spirit, soul, and body, and I enjoy divine health, success, and the good life. I belong in God’s superior class of divine beings; therefore, I look beyond the natural realm of existence to my heavenly rights, blessings, and provisions in Christ Jesus! I do not worry about my health, finances, or anything else because the Lord has perfected all that concerns me. My body cannot be ravaged by sickness, disease, or infirmity because it is God’s sanctuary. I refuse to be sick. I glorify God in my body, and by the Spirit, it functions perfectly all the time because it is the Lord’s. The Spirit of life is working in me. There is no sickness or death in any area of my life or body. I’m daily vitalized by the Holy Spirit who resides in me. Life and immortality have been brought to light in my spirit through the living Word. I enjoy good health, peace, prosperity, and all-round success as I walk in the full blessings that Jesus Christ wrought for me, which I received when I obtained salvation. God’s Word is established in my life and it is evident for the world to see. I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power, far above the devil and his minions, and far above sickness and disease. I live the glorious life of God who is above all and cannot be brought down by anything. I vehemently refuse anything that’s inconsistent with God’s desire

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). The Gospel is God’s number one priority. It’s the most important thing to Him because therein, that is, through the Gospel, is the righteousness of God revealed (Romans 1:17). He brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). God sent Jesus to die for the sins of the world so that believing in Him, they might have life. Nothing is more important than that. This is why you must make the Gospel your priority. Preach it everywhere with the fervency and passion of the Spirit. Your life, and everything about you, also becomes Heaven’s focus when the Gospel becomes your priority. Your home becomes God’s headquarters, His centre of operation, with angels constantly moving in and out, carrying out divine assignments. Make the Gospel your primary focus, and you’ll always walk in divine provisions. The moment you desire something, Heaven makes it available. Why? Because the angels are under strict instructions to ensure everything you require is supplied, just like the psalmist wrote, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). Furthermore, when the Gospel is your focus, God’s holy angels work with you to dismantle oppositions and keep the enemy subdued. The Bible says, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalm 91:10-11). This is the life of a soul winner; GOD’S ANGELS ARE ALWAYS AT WORK IN YOUR BEHALF, PUSHING THE RIGHT BUTTONS, AND MAKING SURE THINGS ARE WORKING IN YOUR FAVOUR. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONThe Gospel is my number one priority, and I preach it everywhere with the passion and fervency of the Spirit. As a result, angels are at work for me and around me, ensuring that all I require is supplied. I walk in victory, knowing that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I function with divine wisdom and grace, advancing the Lord’s Kingdom in the earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY:1 Corinthians 9:16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 2 Corinthians 5:18-19And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Mark 16:15-16And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN :1 Corinthians 4 & Psalms 113-116 2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN :Luke 17:20-30 & 1 Samuel 4 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: Life is not a mystery to me. Nothing is hidden from me. I have access to mysteries and secrets. Predestination is at work in me. Therefore, nothing happens to me by chance. I am wise, accurate and excellent. Christ is made unto me wisdom. In him, I have access to all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Therefore, I have limitless wisdom. I am prudent. I have knowledge of witty inventions. I am skillful, proficient and knowledgeable. I devise the best solutions in every circumstance. I have discretion. Counsel is mine. I am full of sound wisdom.

My words are all righteous. I speak the truth always. God has given me wisdom. There is nothing beyond me. There is nothing I cannot handle. I have a wise and discerning heart. Christ is my excellent wisdom. Like the eagle, my strength is renewed. I do not wane because I live in an ageless zone. I belong to the God class and I only give expression to His virtues because I was made for His glory. Nothing and no one can hurt or come against me successfully, for I have the unconquerable life of God. Satan and the powers of darkness are under my feet; therefore, I have nothing to fear. The impulses of fear have been completely disabled from my life. Irrespective of the situation, I’m bold and courageous, speaking the Word in faith. I am surrounded with favour, benefits and profits. This favour results in promotions, benefits, advantages, and uncountable blessings. I walk in favour. I recognize that I am specially loved and favoured by God. This favour of God qualifies me for things I didn’t work for. Houses that I didn’t build, wells that I didn’t dig, and infrastructure that I did not work for are granted to me. Eternal life is at work in me. It makes me master over circumstances. I have dominion over the world’s deplorable systems. I have dominion over Satan. I am superior to sicknesses and diseases. I am superior to defeat and depravities that affect the natural man. I live above this world and its corrupting influences. Every day of my life is full of God’s glory, beauty, excellence, and grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up (John 3:14). The Bible tells us in Numbers 21 how the children of Israel, as a result of their rebellion and unbelief, were bitten by venomous serpents and many of them died. As a result, they came to Moses and pleaded with him to pray to the Lord to take away the serpents. Moses prayed for the people, and God instructed him to make a fiery serpent of bronze and set it on a pole. He told Moses that anyone who had been bitten could look at the bronze serpent to be healed. Moses obeyed God’s command, fashioned the bronze serpent, and raised it on the pole. Whenever anyone who had been bitten by a snake looked at the bronze serpent, they lived. All they had to do was “look” and they lived. In John 3:14, Jesus drew a parallel between the bronze serpent that Moses lifted in the wilderness and His own crucifixion. Just as the Israelites were healed from venomous snake bites by looking at the bronze serpent, He indicated that He had to be lifted up on the cross so that all who believed in Him would receive eternal life: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up” (John 3:14 NKJV). The old songwriter, William A. Ogden, captured this truth in the hymn: “Look and live.” Look at Jesus on the Cross taking your place, taking away your sorrow, pain, disappointment, sickness and failure. But beyond the Cross, see that He lives and because He lives, you live. In Him, you have eternal life—the organic and existential attributes of divinity. The apostle John, by the Spirit, referring to the Lord Jesus, said, “the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us” (1 John 1:2 NKJV). No wonder the Bible says in Acts 17:28, “For in Him we live and move and have our being….” 1 John 5:11-12 NKJV, “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life….” In Him you have life. Blessed be God! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for in Christ I live and move and have my being. I fix my gaze on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. I walk in the reality of His finished work—triumphing over sickness, failure and death. I have eternal life, and I walk in strength and victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭Numbers 21:8-9 KJVAnd the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. ‭‭Isaiah 45:22 KJVLook unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. 1 John 5:11-13 NKJVAnd this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.
