You are the spiritual guide in the homes.
You direct, provide and protect your family.
You are the first love to a girl child and the first role model to a boy child.
It is a privileged role and a divine one.
You are a model of a husband, father, and lover.
A role comes with no pay, yet it comes with so much pressure that words cannot express.
I proudly call you FATHER!
PRESS PLAY, PAUSE TO PRAY AND DECLARE
Jesus Christ said that man could not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of God’s mouth (Matthew 4:4). That means you cannot sustain life on food and drinks alone, but it must depend on God’s Word. That was how Jesus overcame temptations from Satan. He spoke the Word, Satan fled from him, and angels attended him. God of the universe created the world by speaking His vision for the heavens and the earth into existence. You, too, can do it. You carry the image of the Almighty. So open up your mouth and speak the truth over yourself daily.
Follow in Jesus Christ’s footsteps, meditate on God’s Word, and declare truth over yourself daily. The truth you speak from scriptures will set you free from all kinds of addictions, temptations, or bondage of any sort. It is the shield against every enemy’s fiery arrows targeted at you. These truths will remind you of God’s fatherly love for you, his promises to you, and it will help guide you on the right path.
I am believing that God will turn around this period for your good. I have also been listening to Jonathan McReynolds prayer song and has been a real blessing to friends, I thought I’d share it with you too. It is so powerful and so right for this season and I’m praying it for you. Please, join me and let’s pray together.
Declaration of faith: I am fighting the good fight of faith with Christ and I will win this battle with him on my side (1 Timothy 6:12).
I remember getting teary-eyed at the hearing of the fate of the persecuted Christians in various countries. I thought of their courage and the boldness they show in the face of adversity. Their lives couldn’t have been far from being different from mine, yet they make a stand for Jesus, even if it leads to death or imprisonment. There are at least over 300 million Christians in this situation, and they go through gruesome persecution with little or no intervention from their neighbours. Their faith in Christ in countries such as Afghanistan, North Korea, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso and, in my birth country, Nigeria means facing being stripped and beaten, isolation and rejection from loved ones, death by a fire while the service is going on in church on a Sunday or life imprisonment, and this keeps increasing every year.
When Christians come together to pray in troubled times, you know it is time to get in on the action using powerful psalms because God always answers when you pray through scriptures. So come, share your favourite Psalm for troubled times and pray against this pandemic with other believers. They’re his words, and his integrity compels him to bring them into existence. They are his bonds, and they do not return to Him void. The Bible says it better “He watches over his words to fulfil it” (Jeremiah 1:12). When you bring his words back to him in prayer, he rises to fulfil his promises.

Have you ever been through a period of mistaken identity when people misjudged, misunderstood and made assumptions about who you are or who you should be? Our loved ones are sometimes guilty of this act. They make this mistake of thinking they know the real you and who you should become, and they are wrong about this, only God knows each person for who he created them to be. Jesus Christ experienced this with his parents too. Mary said to him, “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you” to which Jesus answered them, saying, “did you not know I had to be in my Father’s house?“. Jesus knew his identity and the best way to deal with a mistaken identity is to affirm who you are to those who do not really know you.

Lord, let your word prevail in me.
When my flesh burn with desires for things of this world and my stomach churns with hunger for food to feed my flesh.
When my throat is dry and it thirst for the temporary waters of this world and my eyes lust for the worlds beauty with the power that it gives.
When my will is weak to fight off peer pressures and my strength is failing to flee from this world’s pleasure. Lord, I pray that your word will prevail in me.
Do not let my past dictate my future.
Do not let my present life unfold with ungodly features.
Make my future align with your plans and purpose for me.
Let your word prevail over me and make my life a honour for your kingdom. Continue reading “Lord, Let Your Word Prevail In Me”

I have had a few episodes of depression in my life and each time I have prevailed with God on my side. stronger mentally and spiritually with God on my side. One thing is certain when you fight depression with God, you come out from under that dark and heavy cloud of depression and you will find the peace from God that surpasses all understanding. You will have a new drive for life, a new drive for your faith and even a drive to help others. It is World mental health day and I am using this platform to encourage anybody out there who is suffering from depression.
When I was in the midst of some episodes of depression, Continue reading “Overcome Depression with God”
I praise you Heavenly Father for your merciful and forgiving nature,
You do not forsake nor cast away in our weaknesses or in strength,
It is not in your nature to condemn, shun or disown in our lowliest state,
In the darkest moment, you are there.
You do not turn over your children to the will of their enemies
Neither do you make your loved ones a prey for the devil.
It takes courage and a bold step of faith when you turn your back on old ways of living life, choose to confess your sins, repent from your sins, and accept Jesus Christ openly as your Lord and Saviour till eternity comes. Nobody can do these things of their own accord except for those whose eyes have been opened and given the revelation that Jesus Christ is indeed the Lord, the redeemer of all sinners and the giver of life.
Staying in faith can be quite a struggle for new Christians. Sometimes we can be easily swayed with words that make us turn our backs on God. Other times we are faced with so much hardship that we run back to our old ways of living life and at other times, we are simply persecuted for turning our backs on religion and embracing a relationship with God. In all our struggle to staying faith in Christ however, backslide from our newly found faith in Christ. Begum Bilquis Sheikh was a new Christian who converted from Islam to Christianity and in her book, I dared to call him father, she narrated her story of family exclusions, community condemnations, death threats and several attempts to dissuade her from her newly found faith in Christ. Her journey to becoming a fully fledged Christian was not at all that smooth. Yet she persisted in her faith and she followed Christ with all her heart, her mind and with all her might. Had she not been convinced of her call to Christ, she would have crumbled under pressure and she would have lost her faith entirely. Continue reading “15 Bible Declarations for New Believers”
Sin is awful and as a new Christian, you might find yourself falling back to old ways of doing things and reasoning. One of the ways to overcome sin is to speak the word of God over that situation until it transforms you and you are completely set free. The Bible says if anyone is in Christ, old things have passed away, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). This means that you can let go of the past and you can assume your new position in Christ. Everything has been made new. The Bible also says that anybody who believes in Christ overcomes the world (1 John 5:4), you are an overcomer through Christ. Continue reading “Bible Declaration to Overcome Sin”
Jesus I believe in you is my salvation.
I Believe you set free from bondage and addictions.
I Believe there is no condemnation from you Jesus but love.
Jesus I believe you break the bondage of sin over me and with your grace, I will sin no more.
Jesus I believe in you!
I will no longer trust in my own strength or rely on my understanding nor my good deeds to save me.
I do not believe any other god can save me but you, Jesus Christ.
My friends or family cannot save me and neither can my government save me nor my wealth can save me.
My talent, gifts or abilities cannot save me but only you Jesus can save me. I believe in you Jesus will save me.

To God, you are the sweet aroma of Christ. Through you, the world should have the experience of Christ so that the father may be glorified through the son. You carry a sweet fragrance of Christ in your heart and you ought to spread it to the uttermost part of the earth, allow your aroma to spread forth to the world. Anybody who walks through a beautifully scented garden never remains the same, their sense of smell is heightened as they breathe in the fragrance, their entire being accepts the fragrance, their face lits up, their mood changes and they will most likely carry that scent to wherever they go. Your life should model this experience to the world. Continue reading “I Carry The Sweet Aroma of Christ.”
Do you know who you are in Christ? Can you honestly accept the truth in God’s word about your true identity? God knows who you are and He calls you what He sees not what the world sees in you. Your life can never remain the same again when you agree with what God says in his word about you. Why not try changing your words from saying, “I don’t think I can make it”, to “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. Continue reading “Declare Your Identity in Christ”
Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. (Leviticus 19:11). Thats what the Bible says yet we do it all the time. We will lose count of the amount of times each person lies to someone or deceived them on a daily basis if we were to take a census. Still, God detest lies (Proverbs 6:16-19). It is a plague many people suffer and regardless of what you call it – white lie or a dark lie, a lie is still a lie before God. It steals your joy and peace, wearies the soul, hurts those you love and slowly destroys your health. The moment lies and deception have their claws sunk into the human mind, it is difficult for the tongue to regain its freedom.
Nobody who tells lies will enter heaven(Revelation 21:8, Revelation 21:27,1 Corinthians 6:9-11) unless you ask for forgiveness and you repent of telling lies. Sin hurts us and separates us from God. When we sin, we die a slow death physically and spiritually. You may be suffering from this plague of telling lies and being deceitful. You can ask God for the forgiveness of your sin, repent of this detestable sin, turn away from lying and deception and God will write your name in the book of life.
Before we make declarations, it is key to remember the rules that govern it. If we must make effective pronouncements that yield results, we must adhere to the rules of declarations and say the accompanying prayers. Can you join me in saying the Lord’s Prayer together after making the following declarations? It will seal up your affirmations and carry our hearts desire before God ALMIGHTY. I am so glad we’re on this journey together and I hope these faith-filled declarations will fill you with so much faith, and usher you into forgiveness in Christ with full restoration to your identity.

Friends! these OMG games on Facebook are fun and quick personality quizzes that tells us who we are based on our current profile.

The truth is that as fun, harmless and sometimes accurate these games are, they couldn’t be far from the truth on who God says we are in Christ.

There are different types of people living with fear in this world. Some are always afraid of death because you don’t want to die young or just yet. You want to enjoy this life and spend eternity on earth if you have your way. To you, life should be forever on earth. Unfortunately, only Christ has the power to eternal life. So all must die to give an account of how you spend your life when God calls you home. Therefore, stop living your life afraid of the fear of death and start to live for Christ so you can give an account that is devoid of fear.
Then, some fall into fear of people now and then because you have exerted your power on human beings. You allow them to make or break you with their power, even though you have the same ability. They control your life in ways that make you fearful of the unknown, afraid for the future and afraid of the danger that looms around. Sometimes, you are scared of past mistakes and their consequences because they will remind you of them. They hold you captive with fear always looming and lurking around in your life. Therefore, you need to fight this fear to live a victorious life in the freedom that Christ bought for you.
Also, something always makes some people afraid. When you are not fearful of the danger in the day, then you’re so scared of the harm in the night. You are living your life in terror all year round. If you continue to live your life with fear and don’t face it head-on with a fight through God’s word, it will control your life forever and stand in the way of the fulfilment of God’s promises in your life.
What are you afraid of? What keeps you up late at night and keeps you turning in your bed? What is that thing that has kept you in fear and held you in bondage for this long? You are a child of the living God, and fear should not have a hold on you. God is your light and salvation (Psalm 27:1). Fear should not cripple you. Christ in you is greater than the fears in your heart (1 John 4:4). You do not have to be afraid of anything.
Fear is the rod of the wicked that should not rest on the lots of the righteous (Psalm 125:3). That rod is for the wicked, not God’s own children. The enemy can release fear on the people who do not have Christ as their Lord and salvation, but he crosses his boundaries when he targets the children of God. You should not give him the right of passage to you. Otherwise, he will go the extra mile and overstep his boundaries.
Imagine if Noah had allowed the fear of impending doom to cripple him from planning for his future after the flood. He would not have been able to listen and yield to God’s instructions to build an ark. He and his household would have perished in flood, and nobody else on earth today would have had the chance to live on earth.
Continue reading “Let’s Fight this Fear with God’s Word”This story tells us that God will protect his own when there is an impending doom on earth. He will instruct them on what to do and help them plan ahead.
