Guard Your Heart
‘Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes’ Prov.7:2
Jesus instructs every Christian to watch and pray. In other words, guard your heart and guard your walk with God. Stay alert so you know how best to engage. This is also true in the face seeming challenges. For every challenge, the number one point of attack is your relationship with God. A number of people are deceived into thinking that the enemy is after their money, job, recently acquired status, or possessions. The truth is that the pressure and fierceness of the Read the rest of this entry
All Is Well
‘Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips’ Ps.141:3
A certain woman gave up her resources to one of God’s servants. He was moved by compassion and sought to meet any need she had. So the man of God did some research and discovered that the woman did not have a child. And he placed a demand on Heaven for a child for her. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availed much; she conceived and had a son who brought joy to the family. Out with his father one day, the boy suddenly takes Read the rest of this entry
Negative Confessions
‘You are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth’ Prov. 6:2 [AMP]
The third reason why some people go through intense power worship experiences and it appears that they are untouched is negative confessions. A man will have what he says. You will be filled with the abundance of the fruit of the mouth. Typical example, someone asks how is Nigeria; people are quick to reply ‘country hard oh, everywhere just jam’. When you keep saying that what do you think will happen? Thing will get harder and harder plus the Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing Glory
‘Jesus responded, didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?’ John 11:40
Another reason why there are still people missing out on opportunities for the miraculous after healing and breakthrough services is unbelief. Unbelief is a major reason for lack of results. It might be hard to imagine especially since we know that God Himself says that ‘anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him’. Yet there are people who still do not believe God. It’s easy to look at Abraham and Read the rest of this entry
Governed By His Principles
‘Abel also brought a gift – the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift’ Gen.4:4
We all have questions such as why there are still people who do not get healed or experience breakthrough after healing and breakthrough services. One of the reasons is that you need to submit to God as the Sovereign God. If you understand the dynamics of the Sovereignty of God, you will realize that it is not to paralyze us. Look at it this way, God does not rule the earth through His Sovereignty. God rules the earth through His principles, His laws. Through His Read the rest of this entry
The Fire
‘Look! Nebuchadnezzar shouted. I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!’ Daniel 3:25
Fire is not without purpose especially in the Christian walk. The function of the fire varies, according to God’s purpose. It could be for refining purposes. Refining could translate to a number of things and not limited to cleansing, purifying, humbling, detoxing, and teaching. God could allow the fire in your life to accomplish any of these purposes. God reserves the right to prune the branch and His pruning tools are solely His choice. Say you have this habit Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Sovereignty
‘But even if He doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up’ Daniel 3:18
The Sovereignty of God is something Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego understood so well. God is Sovereign; He can choose not to deliver us because He is God. This is an aspect a lot of Christians do not understand about God. You have heard a lot of faith preaching that attempts to rubbish the Sovereignty of God. God is Sovereign; He can choose to fold His hands and watch. Does that change the fact that He is God? Not at all and everything He does is in Read the rest of this entry
Keynote To Germination III
‘The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends’ Prov.11:30
Key note to germination number six is put your trust in Jesus. That sounds simplistic but it actually isn’t. ‘But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence’ Jer.17:7. Your leaves will remain green and you will never stop producing fruit in the Name of Jesus. Your trust is like an anchor, it keeps you rooted to God. The converse is a dangerous place to be but that is not your portion. When you trust Jesus, your spiritual roots Read the rest of this entry
Keynote To Germination II
‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do’ Joshua 1:8
Prayer and fasting is the third key note to germination. The things that God is saying and doing in us we need to take in the place of prayer and burn in and grow roots. God has said this is the year of establishment. You need to take the Word and pray it in. let it grow roots. Fasting of course accelerates it the process of growing spiritual roots.

Keynote To Germination I
‘In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation’ 1Pet.5:10
There was king in the book of Daniel who had a dream but he did not understand the dream so he called on Daniel. And Daniel interpreted the dream to mean the king needs to humble himself so that the dream will not happen to him. Humble yourself. If someone has such a dream and gets such an interpretation, what do you think the person should do? Fall on his face immediately. God waited for twelve months yet Nebuchadnezzar did not change. After the first three months it seemed as though the dream will not happen. God can be patient but dangerous. Once it was the 12th month, he became an animal and he began to eat grass. He ate grass for 7years. I often say to the Lord, ‘I don’t want to eat grass, oh Lord’. For some people except they eat grass they would not learn. And once the process of eating grass starts, you cannot stop it. The time of seven years must pass. And seven years passed and Nebuchadnezzar said ‘I lifted up my eyes to heaven and I said heaven rules in the affairs of men’. It is good to read another person’s story and laugh but check your life. How are you responding to the dealings of God in your life? 1Pet.5:10, God is saying after you have suffered a while. There is a process, a death that needs to happen before the perfection comes. When God settles you, the people who don’t know the suffering will begin to envy you. They have refused to subject themselves to their own little suffering. Key note to germination, you need to understand the dealings of God.
Secondly, you need to understand the place of covenants. You can covenant yourself to break yourself and aid the germination like Job did [Job 31:1]. Otherwise God would have had to take him through a process. The choice is yours. God also comes into covenant with us to help us germinate and take root in Him. [Deut.29:10-13 & 18]. God says I am entering this covenant with you so that we are yoked together. So that you do not get into the corridor of power and start to bring forth strange fruit.
Prayer: Lord, help me pay close attention to the dealings of God in my life and respond appropriately. Lead me into covenants with You so that I will be yoked to You, in Jesus Name.
