Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? (Joshua 18:3). The book of Joshua opens up a very important period in the Israelites’ journey. Remember that it was Moses who brought them out of Egypt, but it was Joshua who took them into the Promised Land. After many years of fighting and defeating 31 kings, Joshua brought the children of Israel into their place of inheritance. The Bible says, “And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them” (Joshua 18:1). The land was subdued before them, and they were at rest. They moved in happily and even set up church in Shiloh. The next verse, however, reveals that more than half of the tribes hadn’t taken over their inheritance even though it had been divided for them: “And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance” (Joshua 18:2). Joshua, at his old age, was concerned and asked, “…How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?” (Joshua 18:3). The Israelites knew where the land was because God had described it to them. Rather than possess it, they were content with squatting with their brethren and enjoying the peace. God has given us the nations of the world, and it’s important we don’t delay in possessing what already belongs to us. He said in Psalm 2:8, “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” We’ve asked and we’ve received. Don’t wait for some special occasion to win souls. You’re in that occasion now. God has given you the land, thatplace where you are; what are you doing about it? Where are your outreaches? Where are the souls you’ve won to the Lord? It’s time to take evangelism to the next level. Whatever you want to do by way of winning souls, if you work with the Spirit, He’ll do mighty things with and through you. There’s no country or city whose doors could be closed against us. When we move into a place, regardless of how small we start, the Word of God spreads and prevails. Hallelujah! CONFESSIONI proclaim the Gospel everywhere with boldness and urgency, knowing that the Lord has given us all nations. No door can be closed against me for the Lord is mightily at work in me to declare His truth to the nations in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Hallelujah!

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). Some years ago, a man called a press briefing where he questioned the authenticity of a miracle that happened at an evangelist’s crusade. According to him, the evangelist claimed that someone who was born blind had begun to see, and to prove this, he made the person identify the colour of a tie. This man wondered how someone who was born blind and never interacted with colours could immediately identify a colour without first having to learn it. He thus concluded that the miracle wasn’t real. To consider such a miracle as fake is to not know the power of God, as Jesus said: “…ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29). Our opening scripture says that Jesus Christ is the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge. Why would it be strange or impossible for the same God, who can open blind eyes, to enable a man who was born blind to instantly identify colours supernaturally? What God did was to impart that man with the gift of knowledge. This is a gift of the Spirit that’s so important. By it, you supernaturally know the things of this life. One of my very first experiences of the manifestation of the gift of knowledge was when, by inspiration, I described the inside arrangement of a certain fruit I had never seen before. The person I was talking with went to a biology textbook to examine what I had said and found everything I had said to be perfectly correct. Most of the things I know, I know by the Spirit, through the gift of knowledge. Many times, Scriptures are supernaturally unveiled to me. Sometimes, I just know what’s in the original text. These are higher blessings God has graced us with that the natural man can never attain. “But why aren’t many Christians manifesting this gift?” It’s because most haven’t heard about it and haven’t been taught how to take advantage of it. Just as sinners receive faith for salvation and come to Christ when salvation is preached and taught, when we teach or major on subjects like this, people’s minds are open for the impartation of divine knowledge. It’s one of the ways it happens, in addition to yielding to the ministry of the Spirit. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. Your Spirit teaches me all things and gives me supernatural knowledge about the things of this life. There’s nothing I cannot know because my heart is open to receive mysteries and secrets that the world can never understand, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The power of the Holy Spirit touches everything in my body; thus, I am infused with divine strength. There is no situation I cannot change, for the inherent power to do exceeding abundantly above all that I could ask, think, or imagine is within me. God loves me personally. I’m His peculiar treasure; my value to Him is the value of Jesus. I think, talk, walk, and live as someone special, for indeed I am someone special. I have the same life that Jesus has, in its fullness. My life is sickness-proof, disease-proof, poverty-proof and failure-proof. It’s a life of glory, victory, success and excellence. I am a new creation, born with the life and nature of God. I am not subject to sickness, disease, failure, or death. I am an associate of the God-kind, in vital, inseparable oneness and union with divinity. I’m superior to Satan, and I am above the forces of darkness because I’ve been brought into the God-kind, a divine pantheon. I walk in supernatural strength, supernatural health, supernatural supply, and supernatural abilities every day. My progress is unstoppable because I cannot be limited by sickness, disease, or the negativities of the ordinary life. As Jesus is above all things, so am I. The Holy Spirit has beautified my life.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways (Job 22:28). One of the most powerful truths revealed to us in Scripture is the creative force or power of the spoken word. God created the world by His Word, and created us to function the same way. The life of the new creation is a life of speaking; we believe, and therefore speak: “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13). You’re not supposed to wait for things to happen; you’re to call them into being. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” This reveals what you can do with the Word of God in your mouth. In the Book of Genesis, the Bible says the earth was a chaotic mass. But after the Holy Spirit incubated upon it, God gave the Word, and everything He spoke leapt into being. He’s given you the same ability to speak whatever you want into existence. An important key to this is meditation. When there’s a situation you want to change, take out time to meditate on God’s Word. During that time of meditation, the Word of God will well up within you with which to effect the changes you desire. What do you want in your life? What do you want to change or create? There’s no need to cry or gripe about the situation. Focus on what you want and speak it forth. In Christ, you’ve been brought into the transcendent life. You have dominion, favour, fruitfulness and victory. But you must enforce them with your words. Psalm 45:1 says, “…my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” What you declare continually becomes your reality. Just like the Lord Jesus, in the volume of the book, it is written of you to do the will of God. That means your life has already been scripted in God’s plan. But for it to manifest accordingly, you must give voice to it. Even now, affirm that you’re making progress and manifesting the glory of Christ everywhere. Declare that good things are happening for you, through you and around you. This is how you activate the power of the Word in your life. Even when what you need isn’t visible yet, it exists in its expanded form. As you speak, it will consolidate and manifest in your world. The Bible says, “…God…calleth those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17). You must do the same. Your words create your experiences. Therefore, declare abundance, peace, health and victory. Speak what God has written about you, and watch it materialize—“become flesh.” Hallelujah! PRAYERThank you, Father, for aligning my life with your perfect will, causing me to walk in overflowing provision and undeniable victory. My path shines brighter every day, and all I require comes to me by free course, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Romans 4:17 KJV(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us something remarkable; it says, “He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart….” The New International Version renders it beautifully. It says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart….” Blessed thought! The world is in your heart. Eternity is in your heart. Therefore, live from within. This should help you understand the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 12:35, “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things….” Everything is in your heart. Think about this: not only is the world and eternity in your heart, but the One who created the world and created eternity is also in your heart: 1 Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” The Spirit of God lives in you. This is why, in Christianity, we live from within. The Christian life is lived from the inside out. The Spirit of God leads, guides, and empowers you from within. Paul, by the Spirit, said in 2 Corinthians 4:7, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels….” Then the 16th verse says, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” The forces of life are in your heart, in your inward man. That’s why the Bible says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). If you train your heart, your spirit, to listen to God’s voice, you’ll always know what to do, where to go, and how to respond to the issues and circumstances of life. You’ll always walk in victory. No wonder He says, “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways” (Proverbs 23:26). Living from your spirit also means speaking from your spirit, declaring God’s Word in faith. That’s how you rule in life. The world may rely on intellect, emotion, or impulse, but you’re led by the Spirit from within and guided by His Word that dwells in you richly. Practice this even today; pray in tongues. Meditate on the Word. Learn to pause and check within before making decisions. As you do, you’ll find that your thoughts, words and actions are in sync with God’s perfect will for your life. CONFESSIONWith my spirit, I’ve encircled and taken possession of all things; I possess the blessings of Abraham. Life, immortality and eternity are in my spirit. I live from within, guided by divine wisdom and empowered for a life of success and impact as the Spirit of God guides me into all truth and causes me to walk in victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7-8). In these last days, it’s inspiring to see God’s children knowing more about the gifts of the Spirit than ever before. But one area where they’ve constantly made a mistake is in their interpretation of a gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 as the word of knowledge. Incidentally, that’s the only place throughout the Scriptures where it is referred to as the word of knowledge. Every other time the gift was referenced, it was called knowledge, not word of knowledge. What many wrongly call the gift of the word of knowledge is, in fact, the manifestation of the gift of prophecy. You’re not manifesting “knowledge” when you supernaturally know or speak something about somebody or events in his life; that’s prophecy, because prophecy reveals the secrets of men. The Bible says through prophecy, the secrets of a man’s heart are revealed (1 Corinthians 14:24-25). The gift of knowledge refers to the manifestation of spiritual knowledge of divine things which includes the cosmos. The word “knowledge” in our opening verse is from the Greek, “Gnosis,” which means scientific knowledge—knowledge that’s based on intellectual activity. This knowledge can be supernaturally imparted to you by the Spirit of God through this gift. Think about it: God made the plants and the animals; He made the metals and everything there is in the world. He can teach you about them. He can give you supernatural knowledge in artificial intelligence, robotics, law, or medicine. The world is looking for solutions, and we’re the ones to provide them. Christ, the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge, lives in you. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge, lives in you; He teaches you all things and can supernaturally impart knowledge about anything to your spirit. Become more conscious of the ministry of the Spirit in your life. Be mindful of His power, presence, and His ability to impart solutions to your spirit that’ll change the world. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of knowledge, who dwells in me and teaches me all things so that I can deal wisely in all affairs of life.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18). Have you ever pondered why, as a younger Christian, it seemed your prayers received quicker answers compared to now that you’ve grown in your walk with the Lord? Maybe you even prayed incorrectly, and yet God always answered you. Yes, He answered you because you were a spiritual infant. God answers such prayers, not because they’re right, but because He’s giving the babes some space to grow. After a while, what used to work for them at that level won’t work anymore because they have to stop feeding on milk: “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe” (Hebrews 5:13). As you grow in Christ, God starts taking you more seriously. The things you say and do—the words you speak, the words you hear, how you reason, what you think about the Scriptures, how you pray and the content of your prayers, etc.—will begin to matter. You discover we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus; rather, we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus. We also don’t “come to Him” every time we pray. The day you gave your heart to Christ to be born again, was the day you came to Him. The sinner can say, “Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus” because he was out. But you are in Him; you live in Him. To a young or carnal Christian, these things may not mean much, but they bear great spiritual significance. The Bible says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). When you grow up and start applying the Scriptures rightly, you’ll discover that you’ll no longer experience ups and downs in life. Your life will be from faith to faith, grace to grace, and glory to glory. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for your Word, which is my life and the light by which I see.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). The moment you received Christ, something remarkable happened: you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. This seal is not just a mark of identity; rather, it’s a declaration of ownership, protection and inheritance. In the realm of the Spirit, it identifies you as God’s peculiar treasure. In ancient times, and even to this day, a seal denoted authority and authenticity. Kings sealed documents to signify that the contents carried their full backing. You might have heard of the “Presidential Seal”, which signifies the authority of your country or some other country’s president. In the same way, God placed His Spirit in you as proof that you’re fully His—marked for divine purpose and backed by heaven. When you received the Holy Spirit, you received the “earnest of our inheritance,” that is, the down payment, the guarantee of everything that belongs to us in Christ (Ephesians 1:14). Since God gave you His Spirit, it means He’s already given you His best. There is nothing else He would withhold from you. Therefore, refuse to walk through life hoping for acceptance or struggling to “qualify.” You’re already accepted, already qualified, already sealed. The Spirit in you is your access to divine wisdom, power and fellowship with God. He’s all that you could ever need; He’s God’s best. He’s the fulfilment of the promise God made to Abraham that through Christ, the blessing and the Spirit would come upon the Gentiles. Recognize and respond to the Holy Spirit in your daily life. Listen to Him. Speak with Him. Acknowledge His presence. He is your Helper, your Teacher, your Advocate, your Strengthener, your Intercessor, your Standby, and your Guide. And because you’re sealed with Him, you’re divinely protected; you’re untouchable, preserved, empowered and distinguished for glory. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for sealing me with the Holy Spirit, my guarantee of divine protection. I walk in the consciousness of His presence, power and guidance. I belong to you, marked and preserved for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYEphesians 1:13-14 NIVAnd you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.

Romans 8:14-17 NKJVFor as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with [Him,] that we may also be glorified together. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 KJVNow he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed (Acts 3:25). When God called and blessed Abraham, the blessing was for the entire generations of mankind. The Lord declared, “…in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.” As referenced in our previous study, that seed is Christ, and all who are in Christ are partakers of that blessing. Peter, speaking by the Spirit, told the Jews, “Ye are the children of the prophets and of the covenant…” (Acts 3:25). He was calling attention to their divine heritage, one that included being heirs of God’s covenant with Abraham. Through Christ, this covenant has extended to the Gentiles—to anyone who comes to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, this covenant isn’t just about receiving; it’s about “becoming”; God told Abraham, “I will bless you and make you a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). That means we’ve become vessels of blessing. You’re a blessing to your family, city, nation, and your world. You’re the bearer of God’s covenant kindness; the Hebrew word is “hesed.” “Hesed” is not ordinary kindness. It’s God’s covenant love—His favour, His goodness, His mercy—all wrapped into one. When you show kindness, forgive quickly, walk in love, and bless others with your words and actions, you’re walking in “hesed.” You’re revealing the nature of the Father. You’re a carrier of covenant grace. When you arrive, God arrives. His blessing flows through you to turn lives around, lift others, and glorify His Name. The blessing of Abraham was a covenant of all-round prosperity, fruitfulness, dominion and divine favour. That same blessing is at work in your life today. It lifts, multiplies and establishes you in victory. Glory to God! CONFESSIONI am the seed of Abraham and a carrier of God’s covenant kindness. I am blessed and I am a blessing. The grace and goodness of God flow through me to lift others, change atmospheres, and bring glory to God. I live to reveal His lovingkindness everywhere I go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYGenesis 22:15-18 KJVAnd the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son]: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Galatians 3:16 KJVNow to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:29 KJVAnd if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 1 Peter 3:9 KJVNot rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead (Romans 1:4). The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Now, that is an extraordinary statement because Jesus said so Himself, and when others referred to Him as the Son of God, He didn’t deny; He affirmed it. But what does “Son of God” actually mean? I’ve explained it several times, but it bears repeating. Son of God doesn’t mean someone born by God in a literal sense. “Son of God” means God in human flesh. So, when Jesus said He was the Son of God, the Jewish people around him understood exactly what He meant. They were angry because they recognized that “Son of God” signifies God becoming a human being. Therefore, they accused Jesus of blasphemy, saying, “You, being a man, make yourself equal with God.” But that’s precisely who Jesus is, and His resurrection from the dead proves it. God became a man, took on flesh and lived among us to save us, that we might also become sons of God: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13). He brought us salvation and eternal life so that we can live like Him and be in fellowship with God. Now we can relate to God as His beloved children. We can talk to Him and He talks to us. He brought us into His class. He’s made us like Himself. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as He is, so are we in this world.” Now we too have become sons of God: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…” (1 John 3:1). Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. He is God manifested in human flesh, and through His resurrection, you gave me eternal life and union with you. I live in the consciousness of this divine relationship, walking in bold fellowship and communion with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYJohn 1:14 KJVAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 10:30-36 KJVI and [my] Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

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.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God (Colossians 4:12). What do you do when you observe people in church who aren’t living right or who don’t come to church anymore? Rather than lament the situation or become judgemental of them, intercede in prayer for them until they are restored. Contend for their souls in prayer. Every soul is valuable to God, and the Bible says His desire is for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. It’s part of the reasons pastors and leaders should be careful how they treat and handle those who come to church. Some can be harsh and don’t mind doing things that drive people out of the church. But when you’re a true soul winner, you’re different, because you understand what it takes to win even one soul and will do everything it takes to keep them retained. Many times, I’ve cried over a soul; I kept interceding until the person came to Christ or was restored back in the Faith. This is why we must pray ahead, at the right time, in the right way, and for the right things. When we do that, we win. Churches must prioritize time for intercessory prayer. Epaphras, in our opening scripture, wasn’t praying for his own needs; he was praying for others. He was an intercessor. He was already walking in the glory of God, but he was praying for others to walk in it as well, to come into the fullness of God’s plan for their lives. This is what you must do every day as well. Intercede for others, for the eyes of their understanding to be opened to the realities of God’s Kingdom and be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Hallelujah! PRAYER*Dear Father, I pray for those who have strayed from the truth, that they’d be restored quickly, and that their affections will be on the things of the Spirit, never languid or dull, but fervent in spirit, serving you wholeheartedly, in Jesus’ Name.

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.

I have been graced to reign in this life through righteousness. I make decrees, and they’re established because I function in, and with, the authority of Christ. I refuse sickness, failure, defeat, and death. I reject anything that’s not of God, and I endorse only that which is consistent with His perfect will for me. There is a lifting up and a perfection in all that concerns my finances. Nothing is too good or too high to be possessed by me. I am riding on the high places of this earth, feeding on heritage of Jacob. I am living in the best days of my life. My prosperity is from glory to glory. I am mightily blessed. I have grace for wealth, riches and fortunes. I succeed in all things, fulfilling my destiny in God and riding on the high places of the earth by the Word of God. The Word of God has taken full possession of my spirit, soul, and body. I’m eternally triumphant in Christ because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world! I walk in the light of my riches, honour and wealth in Christ Jesus. I am blessed, and am greatly positioned by the Most High, I am exalted by the Spirit of God.

I’m sufficient in His sufficiency; there’s no shortage in my life. I don’t lack or want for anything: ideas, inspiration, wealth, prosperity, and all the goodness of God are in my spirit, and I bring them forth from the fullness in my spirit. I am an heir of the whole world, my prosperity is unlimited; all things are mine! I lay up gold as dust, and I walk in the realm of superabundance, wherein I’m graciously supplied with every good thing in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
