    “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.” Deuteronomy 11:24

    Sometimes, when faced with problems, we find it difficult to stretch or come out of our comfort zones to solve the problems in our lives probably because we feel we don’t have the capacity to get them solved. A question to ask is this, ‘how does greatness emerge?’ Greatness doesn’t emerge by standing on the same spot, it begins when we search our hearts for God’s purpose, trust Him and take new territories. Remember Moses? He could have dwelt on his insecurities and remained in a place of stagnancy.

    Thankfully, he took a step of faith in the God that was bigger than him and was the tool God used to deliver Israel. There’s a lot that God wants to do in our lives, but when we allow our hearts to be filled with anxiety, fear, bitterness, doubt, etc. we cannot incubate seeds of great thoughts.

    True courage starts from believing in God and trusting that as an offspring of God you cannot fail! We have been created in the image of God for a beautiful purpose which we must fulfil. We have been called to take new territories, dominate them and do exploits just like God did to the earth. Shake off every fear, anxiety, and worry. God is leading you to your great destiny. Get out of yourcomfort zone and take new territories!

    Confessions: I have a glorious destiny and I see beyond every problem I face in Jesus name

  • It’s Time To Run in Victory

    “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5

    We face challenges, feel helpless or make mistakes sometimes, but it doesn’t mean that we are defeated and written off by God. His word assures us that even if we do, we will come out better than we were. As we enter a new quarter start asking God how you can come out better than yesterday and choose to trust in His perfect transformative power.

    You need to enter your rest in Him because His grace is sufficient for you, His strength is made perfect in weakness. Any weakness you have is the key to accessing God’s power. Trust Him to do great exploits through you in this new season and get ready to run in victory!

    Have a blessed day!

    Confessions: I grow stronger and stronger each passing day! I break new barriers, and fulfil every dream God has for me. I enter into my rest in God, and I trust Him to bring me victory in this season in Jesus name. Amen.

  • Get Back Up

    “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.”Proverbs 24:16

    We all experience failure sometimes but that doesn’t mean we should feel like it or get discouraged. If you ever fall short or make mistakes, don’t give up or become discouraged. The Bible reminds us that no one is perfect.

    If you ever fall, just get back up, learn from your experiences and move on. Seek God for the strength and wisdom you need. Stay faithful and trust Him for a better future. Remember that you can do anything through Christ that strengthens you!

    Confessions: Dear Lord, I look up to You for strength and resources I need. Help me not to give up but to stay faithful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

  • Covenant with God

    “Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make yourname great; And you shall be a blessing” – Genesis 12:1-2 NKJV

    Abraham was just existing before God called him into a covenant relationship. That relationship changed the course of Abraham’s life and made him a blessed person. Having access to resources is not the same thing as being blessed. You will find many unbelievers with access to resources and wealth, but you can’t refer to those who do not have regard for God’s covenant as a benchmark for a blessed life.

    Living a blessed life means living in a covenant with God that covers every facet of your life. The relationship then causes a manifestation of God’s Glory in your life in form of material blessings. Material things are not the blessing, the blessing is the opportunity to have a covenant relationship with God.

    Confession: The covenant relationship I have with God is for the manifesting of His glory in my life in Jesus name!

  • Emmanuel – God With Us

    “Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, yourGod, is with you every step you take.” Joshua 1:9 (MSG)

    It’s very comforting to know that wherever you go, God is right there with you. Sometimes you find yourself in situations and wonder if He’s even paying attention. Other times friends, spouses, and parents don’t really understand what’s going on. But God does and He cares.
    When Joshua had to take over from Moses in leading the children of Israel to the promised land, God told Joshua to be strong and courageous. He also promised to be with Joshua wherever he went and the same applies to you today!

    Do you feel all alone sometimes? Rest in this, God is with you. He is working out that circumstance. You may not even realise it or feel it, but He is there leading, guiding, loving, and providing you with His unlimited resources. Today, choose to walk by faith and not by sight. You can trust Him. I do and I encourage you to just believe Him to see you through it all.

    Have a wonderful day today!

    Confessions: I see the right path because God points out the road for me to follow. He leads me by His truth all day long to put my hope in Him.

  • See As God Sees

    “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise”. Philippians 4:8

    If you already have your mind made up that your day is going to be bad, it will turn out bad. When you wake up with the thought that “I got up on the wrong side of the bed,” you are already headed in the wrong direction. When you get to your job and you have already talked yourself into going in with an attitude of displeasure, that’s what you go in with. Thoughts are very powerful! The quality of our lives is a reflection of the quality of our thoughts.

    We are what we think. Thoughts give your life direction. What are your thoughts about life, people or situations? When you change your mind, attitude, expectancy; things change! Decide to live a better thought-life. Decide to dwell on God’s word and put your mind under the authority of His transformational power. Change your mindset and change your destiny!

    Confession: I see things as God sees them and become more positive in every situation of my life in Jesus name.

  • There’s Power in Unity!

    How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!” – Psalm 133:1 MSG 

    The power in unity is tremendous because unity makes anything imaginable, possible. A team that is united, always wins. When you are truly united with your spouse, your family, or a trusted group of friends, the amount of creativity, solutions and progress you will enjoy is fulfilling. This progress is powered by grace like precious oil that flows smoothly to every part or member. “It’s like costly anointing oil flowing down the head and beard, flowing down Aaron’s beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes”- Psalm 133:2.

    Essentially, when a community is united, their unity draws God’s special anointing. A rare kind of anointing that attracts ease in fulfilling purpose, commands God’s blessings and providential help. But remember that when God anoints anyone, it is for the specific fulfilment of His purpose and not for show. Who are you uniting with? Start enjoying the power in unity!

    Have a great day!

    Confession: I am attentive to God regarding unity in my core relationships. He sets me and keeps me in His path of righteousness to fulfil destiny.

  • Get Extraordinary
    “Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months… And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops.” –I Kings 18:42-45.

    An ordinary person can achieve extraordinary things through prayer. Elijah was a man with the same nature of flaws and frailties just like us. But he was able to change the course of a whole city through effective prayer. He sometimes lost his temper and got a little overboard just like us, but those deficiencies did not stop him from engaging God to produce significant change wherever it was necessary.

    Do away with all those excuses you come up with for not praying and humbly approach God. He’s the One you should be running to and not running from. Your refusal to pray especially when you know how to is a subtle sign of arrogance – you don’t have it all figured out. Get all the help and support you need from the almighty God and get extraordinary in your life!

    Confession: I choose God in spite of my frailties. I don’t choose condemnation. I boldly seek Him and obtain grace in time of need.

  • Tailor-Made Partnerships
    ”For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others”. Romans 12:4-5 (NIV)

    It’s quite dangerous to live in isolation. It gives way to unsavory and unwanted burdens. You were not created to live in isolation but for connection. This has always been God’s original plan for man. However, in this current day, it’s easy to get swallowed up and become isolated in big cities, with high fences and not even realize that you’re out of interaction with other human beings. The key is to seek authentic communities where openness and vulnerability is shared amongst members.

    You can join a reading club, a group for entrepreneurs, or other interest-based groups. Don’t be afraid to make new friends. You never know where those friendships and relationships might lead. Let’s love one another with open arms and build tailor-made partnership that further the kingdom agenda for Christ.

    Confession: I have grace to connect with the right people daily, not only do I connect, I make the best out of these relationships in Jesus’ name amen!

  • …With All Diligence
    Guard your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life”- Proverbs 4:23

    Your heart is the control room for your entire body system. It’s where everything needed for growth and development is distributed from. The condition of your heart can influence your feelings, your will, and even your intellect. We are all instructed to guard our hearts jealously with all diligence, because it affects everything about our lives.

    This simply means that what you see and hear goes straight to your heart, can affect it and limit or advance your ability to declare God’s word over your life. As you start this season, ensure you feed your heart with the word of God.

    Confession: I shall guard my heart jealously. I won’t permit it to be affected by the cares of this world instead I feed myself with God’s word till I am full! I am a believer and not a doubter!
