May God daily load you with benefits and turn your disappointments into joy

1 Truly my soul silently waits for God;

From Him comes my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be greatly moved.

Today, I pray that your soul will silently wait for God, He is the only one who has all the answers to our problems.  Maybe there are questions you want answered and you are looking for satisfaction for your soul.  I pray that you will patiently and silently wait upon the Lord for an answer from Him.   When you wait upon the Lord, you will find comfort for your soul.  I pray that God will be your Comforter today and everyday.  I pray that you will cheerfully give up yourself and all your affairs to His will and His wisdom.  He alone is our Rock and Salvation.  I pray that the Lord will be your defense, your deliverer and your shield and buckler.  As the mountains surround Jerusalem, may He surround you and yours forever.  If you are getting worried about your job or anything for that matter, I pray that you will not be greatly moved.  I pray that you will wait on God alone and not put your trust in man.  I pray that even if you feel disappointed by friends and family and your relationships do not seem as they should or they are not working out as desired, I pray that you will find refuge in God and that you will not be moved.  May God be your salvation and your glory.  May He be the Rock of your strength.  I pray that God will intervene on your case and make all things work together for your good.  If you are in pain or have been hurt by loved ones, colleagues or friends.  I pray that God will bring healing to your soul and set you free from the pain you are feeling.  I pray that you will forgive and release those who have hurt you so that your blessings will not be delayed.  The Bible says in Psalm 62:

9, "Men of low degree are a vapor and men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.

10 ..., Do not set your heart on them." 

God will render to each man according to their works, so do not put your trust in man, only let your soul silently wait on God alone.  He alone is able to deliver.  

It is God that brings out those who are bound into prosperity.  I pray that God will bring you out into prosperity.  I pray that He will give you peace and send you abundance of rain from His goodness .  I pray that God will daily load you with benefits and that your land will produce.  May your joy be full, may your relationships be restored and all that you do prosper now and always.  God bless you abundantly now and always.

May the LORD Sustain You and Give You Strength

My prayer for you today is in Psalm 3, a Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.

"And David said unto all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, for we shall not else escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword." (2Sa 15:13-14 KJV)

This action by David’s own son was a very grievous matter to him and he was afraid of what might happen, so he left Jerusalem in flight for fear of death at the hands of his own son. (You can read the full story in 2 Samuel chapter 15)

Maybe you are worried, anxious and afraid. It might be that you are in fear of impending doom or bad news, considering the uncertain times that the world is in right now and the fear of the unknown, worry about how you are going to sustain yourself and your family, fear of not being able to pay the bills or fear of losing your job is weighing so heavily on your heart and you don’t know what to do. You might be going through a lot right now and like David you are afraid, feeling low and you don’t know where to turn, you are afraid and worried of what might happen to you.

My prayer for you is in Psalm 3:1-8,

1 LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.”

3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.

Even though you might be going through stormy weather and troubled times and everything seems to be going against you and your circumstances and situation is difficult. Although many may say of you that there is no help for you in God, I pray that the Lord will be a shield for you and that He will be the glory and the lifter up of your head. I pray that when you cry to the Lord with your voice He will hear from the heavens and answer you in your distress.

5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.

I pray that when you sleep at night, the peace of God will surround you, and when you wake up, the Lord will sustain you and give you strength. I pray that when you are feeling fearful and panicky, the Lord will guard your heart and give you a sound mind. I pray that you will not be afraid of what man will do to you because if God be for you then no man can be against you. I pray that you will lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways you will acknowledge the Lord and He will direct your path and lead you in the way you should go. I pray that confusion will not be your portion and that the peace of the Lord will be your guide in these difficult times.

Please kneel down now and pray now.

Pray that the Lord will forgive your past wrongdoings and surrender your life to Him now. Ask Him to come and help you and lead you. Ask Him to show you the way and lead you in the path of righteousness. He loves you and is always willing to help those who surrender their will to Him and ask Him into their lives.

7 Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people.

Finally, I pray that the Lord will arise concerning you; He will save you and set you free from the attacks of the enemy. I pray that you will also arise and shine and experience the peace, victory and salvation that come from walking with the Lord. I pray that the blessing of the Lord will be upon you and that the arm of the Lord will save you, sustain you and bring you through these difficult times and that your hope and expectation will not be cut off. I pray that as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so will the Lord surround you, your family and your loved ones forever. Put your hope in Him and He will never disappoint you. He said, “I will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on me because they trust in me.”

No matter how difficult things might be, I encourage you today to put your trust in the Lord and He will carry you through. May the grace God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be upon you and abide with you. May His countenance shine upon you and give you peace in Jesus Name, Amen.

May the LORD heed the voice of your cry

When the family breaks down, almost every aspect of life breaks down. Relationships break down, friendships breakdown, homes break down and nothing seems to come together. God created family to love, care, nurture, guide and support us. He created family to always be there for us. In so many families, this is not so. Many have been abused, despised and left to suffer. Family is important to God, your family is important to God, YOU are important to God. He loves you and will not leave you forsaken. Even though man may have left you forsaken, God will not leave you forsaken if only you put your trust in Him. He wants to help and is always there in times of need, but can we trust Him enough to believe that He can deliver?

If your home is broken or is breaking down and you don’t know what to do, I pray that God will be there for you to heal and set you free from pain, anger, frustration, hopelessness, worthlessness, insecurity, loneliness and low self esteem. I pray that He will deliver you from depression, oppression and bondage to sin, and when you cry out to Him, He will hear you and deliver you. “I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.” (Psalm 3:4). I pray that you will open up to God and be honest and admit that you need His help, His love, His guidance and support. You need Him to be a father to you where your father was never there, you need Him to hold you up and sustain you in times of trouble. You need to feel His presence around you. Cry to the Lord and He will hear you and answer you. Make this your prayer:

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,

Consider my meditation.

2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,

My King and my God,

For to You I will pray.

3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;

In the morning I will direct it to You,

And I will look up.

For those who grew up in a loving, caring and supportive family environment, I pray that you will be able to share your love with others and be supportive to those who do not have what you have. The Bible commands us to give and it shall be given unto us. I pray that as you give of the love invested in you, God will bless you and your family more and more and use you as an instrument of His love and a vessel of honour. I pray that you will not be found wanting emotionally, materially or mentally. I pray that all will be well with you and yours and in all that you do you will prosper. I pray that God will be a shield to your family and the glory and lifter up of your head.

If you have been abused and despised, I pray that God will be your healer and set you free from the bondage of pain and despair. He cares for you, I know He does. May God be with you at all times and hold your hands through this difficult walk of life and help you in all things at all times. I pray that He will restore you and settle your mind and make you whole again. God bless you as you make the following Psalm your prayer and daily confession:

Psalm 27: 1, 3, 5, 7-11
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

3 Though an army may encamp against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war may rise against me,

In this I will be confident.

5 For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion;

In the secret place of His tabernacle

He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!

Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,”

My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide Your face from me;

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,

Then the LORD will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,

And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

May God hide you in the cleft of His Rock

I heard God say to me this morning, “My daughter, please let my children know that I am thinking of them”. So, dear reader, my fellow believer, God says He is thinking of you. He is watching over you. He who watches over you neither sleeps nor slumbers.

The Bible says in Psalm 121,
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.

8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

He thinks about you daily, every second and every minute of every day. He cares about you and is always concerned with things that bother you. You cannot begin to comprehend His love for you. So, why don’t you take some time and just cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. He wants to give you rest.

The Bible instructs us in 1 Peter 5: 7-8, to:
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

My prayer for you today is that you will not fall prey to the devil. If he looks around for you, he will not find you. May God hide you in the cleft of His Rock, safe from all evil. May you be able to resist the devil and all the pressures that life throws at you. May God uphold you with the right hand of His righteousness. I pray that you will stand firm in faith and may God Himself restore you and keep you strong. May He keep you firm and steadfast forever and ever, from this day forward in Jesus Name. Amen.

Remember, according to Psalm 121 verse 3:

3 He will not let your foot slip—

He who watches over you will not slumber …

Have a blessed and peaceful day:-)

MAY YOU SING A NEW SONG TO THE LORD (Part 1)

My prayer for you today is that you will be able to sing a new song unto the Lord God your Maker, the Holy One of Israel, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I pray that you will sing a new song unto our God, the Bush that is burning but never consumed. Sing unto Jehovah Jireh, your provider, unto Jehovah Nissi, your Banner, sing unto Jehovah Yahweh, the Almighty. I pray you will sing and praise Him for His acts of power. Praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him in His Sanctuary and praise Him in His mighty heavens. God says unto you, “My son, my daughter, my beloved, I desire that you praise Me in this hour, in this time, more than you’ve ever done before and you will see your enemies flee before you.

I heard the Holy Spirit say to me this morning that He desires His children to begin to sing a new song unto Him. He wants you to open your mouth and sing instead of complain, sing instead of moan, sing in the midst of trials, sing when you are feeling low, sing when you are feeling high, sing in spite of what you might be going through, sing, sing, sing. Sing unto the Lord a new song. I pray that the Lord God will give you a new song to sing this year and may His praises never depart from your lips. May the fruits of your lips give Him praise.

Your singing will bring victory and deliverance into your situation. It will bring victory and deliverance to your household; it will bring victory and deliverance to your marriage, your children, and all that concerns you. You will be energised and refreshed by the Spirit of God. The Hosts of heaven will visit you and deliver you. Your praise will attract the Hosts of heaven into your circumstances and all your enemies will be scattered. So, praise Him when things are tough, praise Him when times are good. Praise Him in the morning, praise Him in the daytime, praise Him when the sun goes down.

The Bible says in Psalm 150 vs 6, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” If you have breath, praise the Lord. Why, because praise is a weapon of war. When you sing and praise, your enemies will become confused, demoralised, discouraged and disengaged. Your singing is a weapon against the enemy of your soul, Satan. Satan prefers to hear you complain and moan than to praise and worship. When you fulfill his desire by complaining and moaning, you equip him with weapons of defeat that he would then use to fight against you. When you moan and complain, the enemy becomes attracted to you. It’s like an invitation, a song, the sort of confession he likes to hear. It energises the camp of the enemy. The more you complain, the more he is energised for attack, but when you make the choice to start singing and praising God regardless of your circumstances, the enemy becomes confused and scattered. When you sing to the Holy Spirit, evil spirits will leave (Read 1 Samuel 16:23). May your singing birth uncommon events in your life. As you sing, may your enemies be smitten before you.

“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten,” (2 Chronicles 20:22 NKV)

God bless you as you walk in obedience today and sing a new song unto the Lord.

May This Be A Year of Permanent Change for You

Happy New Year to you!

I pray that this year will be a totally different year for you, an unusual year of favour, health and well being.

Every year we make resolutions and write down things we want to do and habits we would like to change. I pray that this year your change will be permanent for good in Jesus Name. We are challenged every year to meet expectations, fulfill demands and do better than the previous year. By the grace of Almighty God, you will certainly do better this year than last year. We are constantly looking forward to making changes and making things better in our lives but at the end of each year we are sometimes disappointed at how little we have achieved and how far we have gone in achieving the goals we set at the beginning of the year. This year may your expectations not be cut off in Jesus Name. Usually we start each New Year with a lot of hope and enthusiasm but at the end of the year we are left with not much hope so we look forward to the next year with more promises and new resolutions. This year I pray will be a fulfilling year for you.

May your home be restored and filled with peace, may your children be blessed and protected by the Spirit of the Lord. He has given His angels charge over you and your family lest you dash your foot against a stone. May you never strike your foot against a stone. This year you will not mourn in Jesus Name. Disaster will not come near your dwelling. God will make you and your loved ones dwell in safety and He will watch over you and perfect that which concerns you. May your marriage be blessed, may your extended family be blessed, may you be satisfied with good things and may you grow in the knowledge of the Lord more and more. Whatever may be broken in your relationships either in your marriage, family or friends, may it be restored back to its former glory in Jesus Name. As from today, I decree peace to you in your home and I break every cord of strife over your life and your family life. It shall be well with you this year and beyond and you shall have every reason to rejoice in Jesus Name. You will achieve the unachievable and God will do the impossible for you. You will experience God in a very different and dynamic way this year and He will reveal a different dimension of Himself to you. This year may your hunger and thirst for His righteousness be greater in you.

You will live and not die

You will live and not die. Repeat it to yourself, “I will live and not die”. Say it again, “I will live and not die”. Again, “I will live and not die in Jesus Name!” I agree with you, heaven has heard your confession and the whole of heaven agrees with you. It is done. You shall live and not die! Speak to your dry bones and they shall live! Your finances shall come back to life, your job shall live, your home shall live, your family shall live, your health shall be alive and vibrant, you will not die, your finances will not dry up, your marriage shall live, there will be no death in all that concerns you and you will hear good news in Jesus Name.

If you are single, you will marry. You will not just marry anybody; you will marry the right person whom God has chosen for you. You will not marry a counterfeit, a Jezebel or a liar. You will not marry someone else’s wife or husband, you will marry your own, the person that God has predestined for you before the beginning of time. There shall be no barrenness in you or in your seed. Even in old age, you will still marry. God has not written you off so no man has the right to write you off. Please do not write yourself off and don’t give up. Even though it may tarry, it shall surely come to pass. For those of you who have waited for so long, be still and know that He is God. Concerning you, He will not fail to deliver.

The Secret to Success

I would like to share what the Lord ministered to me at the beginning of this year regarding why we do not accomplish much with our yearly resolutions, goals and visions and why we sometimes end up being disappointed by the end of the year. I hope that you will be blessed and inspired by it. Please take your time and carefully read to the end.

The Lord shared with me that in order for us to achieve the goals, visions and resolutions set, we must first of all recognise and acknowledge His Holy Spirit as a Person and not a thing. He said we live our lives wanting much and demanding a lot but we fail to recognise that He does nothing without the participation of the Holy Spirit. Do you know that the Holy Spirit is not a Dove? He is a person. He is not wind or fog, He is a person. He is not fire, He is not an “it”, He is…“Him”. He is alive; He is a person, the third person of the Trinity. He is not some wind blowing everywhere, He is a person. He talks, He thinks and He plans. Wind cannot talk, fire cannot counsel, a Dove cannot teach. All these are just symbols. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, our mentor and our counsellor.

We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We would usually recognise and acknowledge the first two persons in the Trinity but we fail to recognise or communicate with the third person. The Lord said I should bring it to your attention that they are three in One and that the Holy Spirit is the very Spirit of the Living God. He cannot and should not be separated from the other two. The three do not do anything without the participation of the other, which is why they are three in One. They are in unity; they work in unity and they do not do anything without each other. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the heart of God unto men. He is the voice of the Godhead to us.

If you want to know the secret of success then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. If you really want to hear from God, then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. If you want fulfillment in life, then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. He is the secret of success. God said He will reveal to us the hidden riches of the secret places, you will never find the secret places without revelation from the Holy Spirit. He is the One that reveals all truth. If you want your desires to be granted then you must delight yourself in the Lord and acknowledge His Holy Spirit as a person to be communicated with and not to be ignored. He doesn’t want a passive, dead and silent relationship. He wants and longs for an active relationship with you. The Holy Spirit talks, He thinks and He plans. God has plans for you this year, He is thinking about you right now and He wants to talk with you and share with you all the plans He has for you. He is asking that you come closer and spend time with Him. The Bible mentions Him as being our Teacher, our Helper, our Guide, our Comforter. He is our Mentor. He leads and He guides. He wants to teach you and show you the way you should go. He wants to use you to change and transform lives. He is alive, He is a person and he desires an active relationship with you.

Without you asking Him to help you this year, you are already destined for failure. If you want to be great, acknowledge the Holy Spirit, talk to Him, spend time with Him. If you want to write successful books that will minister to the world, invite the Holy Spirit to teach you how to write, acknowledge your weakness and allow Him to be your strength. He does not take over unless He is invited. He is not rude, He is sweet and gentle. So why don’t you invite Him in right now and just pray this prayer:

“Holy Spirit, Spirit of the living God, I invite you right now to come and play an active role in my life. I repent and I am sorry for not acknowledging your person like I should. Help me to develop an active relationship with you. Help me and teach me to hear your voice. Help me to be dependent on you and the wisdom you impart into me. Teach me to know you, recognise you and acknowledge you in all that I do. Whenever I ignore you, help me to be aware and turn back to you. I want to talk with you, walk with you, fellowship with you and spend more time with you. Help me to find and create time for you. You are a significant part of my life and I need you now more than ever before. I need you in my home, in my family and in all that I do. Come and help me at work, help my marriage, help my relationships. Teach me to be a good wife, a good husband, a good father, a good mother and a good friend. Help me to grow in the knowledge of the Word of God. Help me in my areas of weakness and develop your strength in me. Help me to be confident and be content with what I have and who I am. I want to know you more. Help me to know you more. Teach me to pray, teach me to love and help me to be who you want me to be. Help me to be as bold as a lion, so I can declare your Word to others who do not know you. Most of all, I ask you to help me to love my neighbour as myself. Please forgive me of all acts of unrighteousness and renew your Spirit within me. All these I ask of the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Holy Spirit for agreeing with the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to be my Comforter, my Helper, my Aid and my Guide. Take your place in me now and let the will of the Father be done in me.” Amen.
