BELIEVERS DAILY MEDITATION (December)

BELIEVERS DAILY MEDITATION BY PASTOR SAMUEL O. OSAGHAE

DECEMBER EDITION

INTRODUCTION The word of God is incubated for effectiveness through meditation. Meditation involves pondering on what you have discovered from scriptures till it becomes a part of your spirit. We do not profit from what we hear, watch or read until we ponder on them. God’s earnest desire is that we dwell on His word at all time. After reading the logos (the written word in the bible), we are expected to meditate on what we have read all day long till the object of that scripture becomes real to us. This is why this instruction was given in Joshua 1:8: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Meditation creates a website for possible accessibility in times of need. When you are meditating on God’s word, you are creating a website, filled with relevant knowledge and information that the Spirit of God needs to make you an enviable model of a beneficiary of

the dividends of salvation. The size of your website is dependent on your meditation. The more of God’s word you ponder on, the more expansion your website will experience as a result of the information you keep loading and meditating upon. When you do not spend time on meditation, you will have a very small website with very little useful information. As such, anytime the Holy Ghost zooms into your website, there is nothing to download. This is the reason why most believers live a life that is short of what God has ordained for them. But the man who meditates on God’s word daily will never be defeated by the challenges of life; he will always have an appropriate response to every card the enemy throws at him. When there is a health challenge, for instance, the Holy Ghost zooms into his website, and because he has the right response to that health challenge, he will receive instant healing, or better still, live above the reach of sickness, infirmities and all sorts of afflictions.

The Lord spoke in John 14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Whatever you read or hear and then meditate on is what God brings to your remembrance.

Meditation provokes God to speak. If you have not been taught or have not meditated, there will be nothing for the Holy Ghost to bring to your remembrance in times of crises. Many people do not hear God because they do not meditate enough on the ingredients of God’s word which are: who God is, who the believer is and the instruction God wants them to carry out.

Meditation is the key to living in victory every day. The more you meditate on God’s word, the more of a spiritual giant you become. Our manifestation of glory in power, in prosperity and in personality (character) is a function of our meditation on God’s word.

We can draw an illustration of this issue of meditation from the way a Cow feeds on grass. A cow does not chew and swallow grass once and for all. Its eating process is different from that of non-ruminant animals. The Cow, just like other ruminant animals, swallows and later regurgitates and chew on the food it already swallowed. This unique feeding process of pondering continually on already eaten food makes the animal’s digestive system better absorb and make use of the nutrient that is in the food. Meditation on God’s word does for the human spirit the same thing that regurgitating does for the ruminant animal’s body. The more you meditate on God’s word, the more God’s word becomes real to you, making you a champion; a solution to people’s problems and an answer to their questions.

Psalm 62:11- God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this. The second hearing is not a second hearing brought about by the speaker speaking a second time for the sake of emphasis, it is a hearing brought about by the voice of meditation. This clearly shows that only those who take out time to ponder on what was spoken to their spirit man the first time will hear the second time. The second voice is not an audible one, but the still small voice of the spirit spoken silently to the spirit of the individual. Being able to appreciate the power of God over bareness, poverty and so on is a factor of the second voice. That second voice is the voice of meditation.

When you ponder on who God is, who you are in Christ and what you should do, you are listening for the second voice, and you will certainly hear what the spirit is saying to your heart.

Romans 10:17- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Take note that the scripture did not say hearing the word of God, but hearing by the word of God. Faith is not a factor of hearing or reading the scriptures once but it comes by hearing the second voice which is born of meditation. This second hearing comes out of an accumulated meditation on the word of God. Once meditation on God’s word becomes your constant practice, your faith will become so strong that it will become impossible for the devil to shake you with his devices. Each time there is a challenge, you are not moved because constant meditation on God’s word has made it possible for you to hear and hear over and over again, the voice of the Spirit, thereby, creating an atmosphere of unshakeable faith in your spirit.

A lot of Christians attend church service religiously and read God’s word daily just to appease their conscience. They, however, do not take out time to ponder on the word they hear in Church or the word they read in their own private study time. And so they know so much of the letter but do not get rhema from the Spirit. The Bible tells us in 2Cor. 3:6 that the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life. You only get tuned to the frequency of the Spirit when you begin to ponder on the scripture you have read.

God places great value on His word and has prescribed it as the source of life and health as seen in Prov. 4:20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

God’s word gives light to all they that find it, and gives health to their flesh. When the word of God comes, it brings illumination Psalm 119:105. Without the word of God, you live in darkness.

Those that will shine in these last days are those who meditate daily on the word of God, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Before you can speak a word that will save you, you need to first fill your heart with the word and then meditate on it in your heart.

Meditation is what makes the word active in your life. It puts ability for expression and performance in you.

For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he Proverbs 23:7. You soon become what you constantly meditate upon. Your belief system determines what takes place in your life. If a man believes that he can be killed by witches for instance, he will certainly be at their mercy. God works with our belief system, and our belief system is built by the meditation of our heart.

There must be a meditation before there is a manifestation. If the devil can take control of your thoughts, then he can destroy your life. God wants you to practice how to be like Him. You must, thus, learn to meditate on godliness; fill your heart only with things that edify. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise

profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come 1Timothy 4:7-8.

The more you meditate on God’s word, the more you are tuned into His likeness and aligned with His desires and purpose for your life. Psalm 119:97-105, Psalm 1:1.

HOW TO USE THIS DEVOTIONAL This devotional gives daily scriptures for you to read and discover three ingredients from: 1. Revelation of who God is. Knowing who God is gives you ingredients for worshipping Him. As you study the scripture for the day, find out if there is information about any member of the Godhead.

2. Revelation of who you are in Christ. This gives you an ingredient for thanksgiving. As you study the scripture for the day, search for what is revealed about believers; their rights, privileges and gifts in Christ.

3. Responsibility placed upon you as a child of God. Ask for grace to carry out this instruction. As you study the scripture for the day, find out if there is an instruction or expectation of believers.

There may be revelations in the scripture being studied that have not been pointed out; you should write them out as you discover them.

The uniqueness of this devotional is that your study does not end at just discovering these three important ingredients; it requires that your discovery fill your heart all day long hence the name: Believers Daily Meditation. You are required to keep pondering on your discovery from that scripture until all you have discovered becomes a part of you.

For your study to be impactful, you will also need the following:  A complete Bible  A note book  A writing pen Preparedness to write provokes utterance. God does not waste revelation; He only speaks to those that will make use of the information He gives to them. One way He can be sure you will not forget what He reveals to you is if you write down His revelation as He speaks to you. When you come to God prepared to document revelation and instruction, He will speak unhindered.

For a believer to manifest God’s nature, he must first know the promises in God’s word concerning him, memorize them, and then begin to meditate on these promises; this is what leads to belief. Believing is the end result of consistent meditation. The word of God over your life is not established until you confess it, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness

but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Rom. 10:10. Say what the word says, not what your senses tell you. Check out the daily benefits of God’s grace and begin to confess these benefits on a daily basis, until your confidence becomes a dread to the enemy. The more you do this, the less space the enemy will have to operate in your life.

Also, prayer points are given at the end of each day’s study to help you pray effectively for yourself and intercede for others. Intercession is a very important duty of every believer.

Destruction cannot be averted without intercession. As a Priest, intercession is your responsibility. Consistent intercession and soul winning show to God that you are concerned about the needs of the kingdom and so He also will be concerned about your needs.

Daily talk to God about people and talk to people about God.

ALL SCRIPTURES IN THIS DEVOTIONAL ARE FROM THE AUTHORISED KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE, EXCEPT STATED OTHERWISE.

TAKE NOTE OF THIS! This devotional will bless you maximally only if you study the portions of scripture in the practical consciousness of God’s presence. The benefit of the covenant is only accessible in the consciousness of God’s presence. Although God has blessed us with every good thing imaginable, Eph 1:3, the blessings are only accessible in the consciousness of God’s presence.

For eggs to become chicks, the mother hen has to create an atmosphere around them (incubation). Your spirit man is hidden; it can never come out to manifest sonship except it is surrounded by the presence of God. An egg that does not grow in the presence of the mother (incubation) will burst and smell. And so, the mother hen provides the right temperature around the egg on a daily basis until it is hatched. If you do not dwell in the presence of God, you cannot attain the full potential that God has ear marked for you; you will be just like the egg that was not incubated properly, that will certainly burst and smell.

Your manifestation is a function of your meditation. You must create a heaven’s atmosphere around you 24 hours of the day. As you study today’s portion of scripture, see God around you, hear Him speaking to you. That way, this will not be an ordinary devotional that you study for duty sake, but a book of revelation, a book that will help you feed your spirit man with balanced diet.

One of the glories of meditation is in sharing your benefits with someone. This will keep the revelation you discover with you and help you to practice it. This study will be more profitable if

on a daily basis you share what you have studied with others. Remember, we are under instruction to exhort one another daily. Heb 3:13, Exodus 34:34, Matt. 28:20.

UNDENIABLE REASONS FOR MEDITATION Most Christians do not know the importance of discovering fresh aspects of God on a daily basis. They do not spend quality time studying God’s word and so, do not get fresh revelations of who God is, their personalities in Christ, and instructions they must obey. When you do not meditate on God’s word, you will not get fresh revelations of His personality.

We live by the word of God which is our spiritual food. Daniel 11:32-33 tells us that the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many. To do exploit means to have an ability to do what others cannot do.

It means creating a reference point for others to emulate. However, no man can do exploits if he is living in ignorance of the ability he possesses. Searching for God through the scriptures on a daily basis is our responsibility; God wants everyone to daily seek to know Him more. In Matthew 16:13, Jesus asked his disciples, ‘who do men say I am’. He asked this to see how much of Him men had come to understand. In vs.16, Peter was able to give the right identity of Jesus. He said, ‘thou art the Christ, the son of the living God’. ‘Christ’ means ‘anointed’ one, it means ‘messiah’ and it also means savior. The first thing you receive when you make a discovery of God is His blessing. Jesus blessed Peter in verse 17 of the above scripture because Peter was able to describe His personality based on a personal discovery.

When you discover God, you will receive the following benefits: 1. The curse over your life is broken. Galatians 3:13 reveals to us that Christ became the curse that we may be blessed. When you discover Him, an anointing is made available to break curses.

2. Your Identity Changes. Until you know God as the solution to your problem, you will remain where you are. Simon’s identity changed because he caught the revelation of Christ’s identity.

3. You Become Stable. Just like Peter was likened to a rock by Jesus, you become stable. A rock is stable and firmly rooted; it cannot be tossed to and fro.

4. Your future is guaranteed. Your future is built upon your daily revelation of who God is.

5. You will have easy access or entrance into God’s presence.

6. Knowledge of God’s personality puts authority upon you. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matt. 16:19.

Every man needs a personal discovery and encounter with Jesus. No man can claim to know God completely; there is an aspect of Him that is very important to the needs of different

people at different points in time. No wonder Jesus charged His disciples in verse 20 not to tell anyone who He really is, you need to make a personal discovery of what will be relevant to you.

This personal discovery, however, will not come to you if you always depend on other people’s discovery and the revelations they got from their study.

In Daniel 4:32, we see how God’s judgment came upon Nebuchadnezzar because he did not acknowledge God. The punishment that God placed upon him was to last till he discovered the personality and might of the most High God. Your problem will continue un-abated if you do not discover what God has to say concerning that issue. After seven seasons, when Nebuchadnezzar came to the knowledge of God, his sanity returned and he finally understood, by discovery, that God is the giver and distributor of authority and power.

May you discover God more and more on a daily basis as you begin to study His word consistently, using this devotional as a guide.

FOUR DEFINITIONS OF MEDITATION Prayer gives you an opportunity to talk to God; whereas, meditation gives God an opportunity to talk to you. Anyone who does not meditate may never hear God’s voice. When you do not meditate, you deny God the opportunity of talking to you. Below are four definitions of meditation: Forcing remembrance of a discovered truth.

Reminding yourself of the information under consideration involves always taking your mind back to what you have studied long after the study is ended. If you cannot remember what you have studied, it means the study did not profit you. Force yourself to remember what you have read; keep going back to the devotional material every time you forget what you have discovered until the revelation discovered becomes a part of you.

Using your mind to create a picture of the reality (The power of Imagination).

Even if what you seek is not yet obvious, you use your mind to form the picture of the real thing. You keep seeing your expectation with your mind’s eye until your desire becomes a reality and becomes obvious to all.

Speaking to yourself.

As you speak to yourself, you create an atmosphere of success around yourself. Speaking to yourself will make the issues under consideration stick to your mind and will create the right ecology for your growth.

To roar.

This is a loud shout of discovered revelation. Roaring your expectation pushes back the enemy of your manifestation. Shout what you want to see. Roar your belief. Roar who you are on the contradiction and the contradiction will disappear.

DECEMBER 1 OUR DELIVERER Text: 2kings 17:36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: It is possible to celebrate in the midst of frustration. When there is a casting down, those that are in tune with God will experience a lifting because the Most High God is always high up: He does not have any business with being cast down. When you know that the Lord God dwells in Zion, then every mountain on your path will begin to drop down new wine. Dwell constantly in the consciousness of the God who is able to give you the oil of gladness above your fellows (Joel 3:17-18).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. …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 1:1-6, 12-13.

The devil’s victory over man by reducing man from divinity to humanity was defeated when Christ who is divine became human. Christ took up the form of man so that man would once again be able to take up the divine nature. We died, were buried and resurrected into the divine life with Christ Jesus. We are no longer human but divine and are, thus, now beyond the reach of the devil.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it



The Lord, who brought us up- out of Egypt: We are told in the opening scriptures that it was the Lord who brought the children of Israel up out of the land of Egypt. Egypt, in the Bible, symbolizes captivity, slavery, and deprivation. In the Old Testament of the Bible, we find there that God had to deliver His people who were held bound in Egypt by the demonstration of His great power. Any time God’s people walked in ways contrary to His covenant provisions they became susceptible to overwhelming judgments that often saw them in horrible bondage and slavery. However, the grip of bondage is broken from God’s people once they re-align their ways with the God who brings up again the down trodden and bound. The experiences the Israelites had in bondage were designed by the enemy to keep them low, obscured and impoverished. But the God who brings up the down trodden and captive showed up for them when they called on Him. Are you passing through experiences that seem to perpetually put you down? God’s child, your place in life is at the top where Christ is Himself seated. God is about to change your condition- He is about to deliver you from the scheme of the enemy to keep you down instead of the throne God has made ready for you. Will you call on this God who is the LORD (owner) of all things, as the children of Israel did, and were heard and led out of their pain and struggle by His great power and a stretched out arm? ‘And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation’ (Psalm 107:7). God has a city of habitation for you; where you are right now is not the best destination for your complete manifestation and so the Spirit of God is taking you to the place of fulfillment today. Perhaps what the Lord is waiting on today is to show you that you are valuable to Him. He wants to let you know that if in the Old Testament, which was made in the blood of goats and bulls, He was entreated even to delivering the bound and doomed, He will certainly bring you, who He purchased by the blood of His precious Son, to the glory ear marked only for Sons. ‘Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not’ (Jeremiah 33:3).

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Knowledge of God makes you a partaker of the divine nature. 2Peter 1:2-4- …through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  I have been brought up and out: The children of Israel would have remained perpetually in slavery but for the saving power of Jehovah that took them out of captivity without them having to lift any weapon of warfare. The Israelites operated under an old covenant, yet they were delivered by the Lord God. How much more you, who has been adopted into sonship of the Most high God. You are surely a candidate of God’s mighty deliverance from all forces that try to lord it over you. We who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb are already translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God’s son. ‘Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the

power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son’ (Colossians 1:12-13). Legally speaking; we are already up and out of the dominion of satan and all evil. While our experiences, however, may sing a contrary note, we know that they are contradictions which only test our convictions. Every experience that makes it look like God lied to us is subject to change. ‘While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal’ (2Corinthians 4:18). We now live from the stand point of what God has done and not our experiences because the contrary experiences of debt, sickness, poverty, oppression etc are all lies of the devil; we have been brought up and out of the dominion of satan and his cohorts. Thank God for His goodness.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Fear God: The fear of God, as we find it here, is to depart from iniquity. It is the responsibility of the child of God to seek Him with all his heart in reverential fear. ‘The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction’ (Proverbs 1:7). If only we realize that the Lord is intricately a part of us, we would change drastically, our daily attitude to that of true reverential fear for the Almighty.  Worship God. No matter the degree of help or endowment we may receive from man, true worship must be channeled to God alone- this is our responsibility. We may express thanks to man, but never must we worship human persons, angels or demons. ‘Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.’ (Revelation 22:9) God is seeking for true worshippers to do so in spirit and truth. Worship Him for His salvation, blessings and importantly, for bringing us up out! ‘God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth’ (John 4:24).  Do sacrifice to God: ‘For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister’(Hebrews 6:10). Be glad at every opportunity you have to make sacrifice for the course of the Father. He is a faithful rewarder and will certainly take note of your sacrifice and reward you bountifully in due season.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man (1Samuel 10:6). The Holy Spirit is the life transformer. Daily fellowship with the Holy Spirit will cause constant pruning in your character until all the rough edges are cut off and you are molded unto perfection.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

2Kings 17:38- And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

[The devil does not have the capacity to do anything until he has created the fear of it happening in your heart. Just like God cannot do anything for you until the Holy Ghost creates faith in your heart. The issue is the fear or faith posture of your heart].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession attracts the ministration of angels. As Daniel made intercession for Israel, he received angelic attention. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15.

When you are involved in Evangelism, your feet will be neat; they will have no stain. The implication of this is that you will have sweatless and effortless progress. Success will naturally come to you and your life will be characterized by enviable achievements. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Divine Protection Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

When you go through the toughest seasons of your life, you have God’s assurance that His rod and staff will be right by your side to comfort you. Even in the darkest challenges, your Father will never leave you alone. His presence with you will not allow witches and demons come close. Manipulations of wicked men and women have no power over you. No matter the evil that is cooked up in darkness against you, you have victory over them because the Father is always with you to shield you from all evil.

Armed with this knowledge, do prophetic warfare until you enjoy divine protection every minute of the day and every day of your life. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare. 

Thank God for the assurance of His never failing presence with you

       

Thank God for the comfort He has promised you even in the midst of the evils of the endtime Appreciate Him for His assurance of victory over all forms of satanic attacks Take authority against appearances of darkness that still cause fear in your heart Root out fear of darkness and fear of witches from your heart Pull down all gang ups in the realm of the spirit against you Ask God for grace to be confident in His promise of victory every time you come under attack Decree the ever abiding presence of God with you, with your spouse and with your children.

Decree your victory over every present or future challenge.

CHECK HOW MUCH YOU CAN REMEMBER FROM TODAY’S STUDY. 1. What is today’s BIBLE TEXT? 2. What have you discovered about GOD today?

3. What have you discovered about YOURSELF today?

4. What RESPONSIBILITY have you discovered today?

Meditate on these four points throughout today to gain light for your profiting (…that thy profiting may appear unto all, 1Timothy 4:15).

TESTIMONY DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC OPPRESSSION Sometime ago, while I was in Port Harcourt, I had a dream one night and in the dream, found myself having sexual intercourse with a strange woman. When I woke up from the dream, I went to the toilet to urinate and, to my horror, saw blood in my urine. By morning, I became very sick. I went to the hospital and tests were carried out but nothing definite was diagnosed.

After a period, the sickness disappeared to my relief. But some months later, my body temperature suddenly became high. I managed to sleep that night, but by morning, it got really terrible. I became very weak, could not urinate, and felt terrible pains in my waist. I was taken to the hospital but nothing could be done to help me. This recurring sickness made it impossible for me to keep a job and move on with life. At age 40, I was still living with my mum in her one room apartment. I got Pastor Samuel Osaghae’s number from television during his Tv ministration and sent a text message to him. He asked me to come to church to see him the next Sunday. This was on a Monday. I replied to tell him that I did not believe I would survive till Sunday. He called my phone that night and asked me to get water. He blessed the water and asked me to drink. After drinking, I felt better. He told me that would sustain me till Sunday. On Sunday, I came to Believers Ministries to see the Man of God. I was once again in terrible pains and just managed to sit through the service. After service, I met him in his office. He again blessed water and gave me to drink. After that, he laid his hands on my head and I was slain in the spirit. Behold, when I got up, I was a new man. Strength was restored to me and all the pains in my system disappeared. I got home that day and threw my drugs away. I am now in

perfect condition of health to the glory of God. And to ice the cake, the Church, Believers Ministries, rented and furnished an apartment for me and placed me on a monthly allowance.

God is real in Believers Ministries. Join me celebrate the God of Pastor Samuel Osaghae.

DECEMBER 2 COVENANT MINDED Text: 2kings 17:38-39 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Those that walk with God will be taken by Him. They will be taken from sickness, from pain, from sorrow, from death, from limitations, and from all the evils of life. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him, Genesis 5:24. Practice walking daily with God and you will have a better and brighter life.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. The devil’s agenda to keep us barren was totally defeated when Jesus refused to have children. There was no one to declare Christ’s generation; no one to carry on His name. He was barren so we should not be barren. The power of barrenness is therefore broken from the lives of children of God. SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God of the covenant who delivers us: God has solemn agreements that are binding on Him and us, it is known as the covenant. God is the maker of covenant as our opening text states ‘And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget…’ This covenant is

what makes us rest on the integrity of the word of God. Scripture tell us that God will not break His covenant nor alter the thing that has gone out of His mouth- He is too faithful to fail (Psalm 89:34)! See God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 22:15-18- And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 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: 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; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. By the time Abraham died, this covenant was already being fulfilled. He was blessed in material wealth so much so that he became the envy of Kings and nations. His seed became a great nation and took dominion; becoming a nation that was dreaded by all other nations. The same God that made and kept His covenant with Abraham is your Father. Abraham was not a son of God, yet he enjoyed the blessings of God’s covenant; how much more you that is a covenant son of the Most High God. Every word He has spoken concerning you in His word and in your communion with Him will certainly come to pass. God is too committed to disappoint the adherent and all who put their trust in Him shall not be put to shame. The blessing of God will perpetually manifest in the life of the believer who never forgets the character of God. Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Those that know the Lord are the sons of God, whereas those that do not know Him are sons of the devil. 1Samuel 2:12 - Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. The sons of Eli were called sons of Belial because they knew not the Lord. This knowledge is not academic knowledge, but by meditative discovery. It is this knowledge that helps you speak, dress, and behave like a child of God. Those that do not have this knowledge will speak, dress, and behave like children of the devil even though they go to church.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Servant of God: ‘But the LORD your God ye shall fear...’ God is here revealed to us as our LORD and God. If He is LORD or owner to us, then we are His servants, and this means that we are charged with responsibilities that give Him pleasure. Although we are sons because of the new covenant, we are to be with a service orientation. We are here on account of pleasing the Lord or owner of our lives. ‘And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.’(2Corinthians 5:15) Jesus is our Lord and master and we are to serve the LORD with our lives ‘Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am’ (John 13:13). Are you serving the Lord with your life or are you self-serving? The amazing reality is that when we stand before the master for rewards He is going to refer to us as servants even though we are His sons (see Matthew 25:21, 23). Meditate on this revelation of who you are and give God thanks for the privilege to serve.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility



Remember the covenant: The key to drawing the wealth of the covenant is carefully founded in the ability of the believer to remember the details of the covenant- ‘…whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed’ (James 1:25). ‘...if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned’ (Hebrews 11:15). Your experience will inevitably be what you are mindful of. Whatever we are mindful of we eventually become and seeing that this principle holds true, the lord has designed good thoughts which He has made into His covenant so that as we remember them in meditation we are made into His good thoughts for us ‘Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations’ (1Chronicles 16:15). Find out the content of the covenant and continue to express your liberty on the basis of what the Lord has done for you; be a doer of the work associated with the covenant and this provokes the blessings on you.

‘And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget...’ (2Kings 17:38). Satan the adversary knows that God’s commitment to His word is final and never changing.

However, he knows also that people can be lazy where it concerns remembering the covenant and the God of the covenant. Now, because the covenant is binding on the parties involved he would want to make the man err by not remembering the covenant.

God told Joshua- ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success’ (Joshua 1:8). If the God of the covenant told Joshua, an Old Testament saint, to remember the content of the covenant (the law), and so doing he was blessed, it is a pointer to the fact that we in the better covenant made in the blood of God’s son, have a discipline to pay attention to if we must walk in the blessing. The God of the covenant does not change and if we stay committed to His word we shall definitely experience the blessing in our lives.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Corinthians 3:17). The Holy Spirit is the liberator and yoke breaker. Those that fellowship constantly with Him will not suffer under yokes and bondages for His presence breaks every yoke and liberates from all forms of oppression.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Isaiah 44:2- Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

[Whatever you fear is attracted to you. Job learnt this the hard way: For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (Job 3:25)].

SECTION 8- Intercession

Intercession will make God improve your skill so that you become better than your peers. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill …

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth, Acts 1:8. The Holy Ghost empowers us for witnessing. If you have the Holy Ghost and you are not witnessing, then you are under-utilizing His power that works in you.

Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Divine Protection Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

When you go through the toughest seasons of your life, you have God’s assurance that His rod and staff will be right by your side to comfort you. Even in the darkest challenges, your Father will never leave you alone. His presence with you will not allow witches and demons come close. Manipulations of wicked men and women have no power over you. No matter the evil that is cooked up in darkness against you, you have victory over them because the Father is always with you to shield you from all evil.

Armed with this knowledge, do prophetic warfare until you enjoy divine protection every minute of the day and every day of your life. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.     

DECEMBER 3 WONDER WORKING POWER Text: Acts 10:38-41.

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Those that live their life in the consciousness of God’s presence will always have new record breaking miracles in their lives. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God., 1Corinthians 2:9-10. You cannot love a person that is not present with you. You show love by communing with the person you are in love with. As you dwell

constantly in the consciousness of God’s presence, you will continually be a wonder to everyone around you.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. The agenda of the devil to make believers not to be married was defeated when Jesus didn’t marry. No child of God that seeks to marry will remain single because Christ’s sacrifice paid the price for your marriage.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God who Anoints with the Holy Ghost and Power: If you are having issues in your life that leave you in doubt of God’s ability, scripture has answers that will forever clear out your fears and doubts. All you need today is to remember God’s anointing made available to you and then place a demand on it by faith in the same. God would usually take the unlikely persons and clothes them with such honor and glory that addresses the challenges of life from the very roots. The anointing is basically for problem solving.

Jesus is the one who anoints with the holy Ghost for the purpose of blessing lives ‘...he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. ’ ‘God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;’ (John 1:33; Acts 10:38). In the Old Testament we find numerous accounts of how God dealt with the enemies of Israel through the anointing. When the Spirit of God came on Gideon, for instance, with only three hundred men he was able to solve the challenge of enemy threat to Israel ‘And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand:..’(Judges 7:7). God anoints people in order to remove the reproach brought about by the enemy. Numerous accounts of exploits in the Old Testament reveal that without the anointing, the wonders of God which we speak of today would be impossible. Or how else do we account for the ability of man to control nature by ensuring it did not rain for three and a half years or to even raise the dead (1kings 17:1, 2kings 4:32-35)? These are the effects of the anointing of God in the lives of God’s servants. In the New Testament, we have ample insight to the reality of all believers being anointed even as the first epistle of John shows us ‘But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you...’

(1John 2:27a) God has anointed every of His children with the gift of the Holy Ghost- the power to do signs and wonders only come after we are anointed with the Holy Ghost.

‘But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.’(Acts 1:8) Never forget that the anointer with the Holy Ghost and power is your Father. If He has done exploits through people in the past, then he will do even greater exploits in this age through you because you are His beloved son.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Those that meditate constantly on the personality of God will have the anointing of the Lord.

Psalms 63:5-6 - My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Anointed of God: ‘Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God’ (2Corinthians 1:21). You have to know that God has already anointed you and then you have to receive it. We are anointed in order to become proof producers in life.

The book of Mark tells us that the way the early church experienced the workings of this grace was when they exercised their faith every where they went. Otherwise, they would not have known the reality of the wonder working of God’s anointing. ‘And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following (the Lord’s confirmation is proof of the anointing).’ (Mark 16:20- emphasis added). First epistle of John also tells us that the believer is the anointed of God: ‘But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you...’

(1John 2:27a). You are the seat of God’s power on earth; power to do great things for the glory of God resides in you. See yourself as anointed and begin to thank God for His indwelling presence.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Do Good: ‘How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good…’ (Acts 10:38) As God’s anointed, one way this virtue can be a blessing to humanity is in charitable demonstration of God’s Love. We are expected to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, visit those in prison, care for orphans, widows and destitute. ‘Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body’ (Hebrews 13:1-3). (See also, James 1:27, Matthew 25:35-36).  Heal the oppressed: One of our responsibilities from today’s study is to eradicate sickness anywhere we find it by the anointing. Jesus did same and we are expected to go in His footsteps, we are to realize that as He is so we are in this world (1John 4:17). As we teach the people, faith will rise in their hearts and they can be healed by the anointing in our lives. ‘How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about...healing all that were oppressed of the devil’ (Acts 10:38).

We are required to heal the oppressed in our families and communities.  Preach the word in power: If we truly want to see the anointing on display, we must begin to effectively preach the gospel with power ‘And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all’ (Acts 4:33).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot (Acts 8:29). The Holy Spirit is the instructor and the director. Those that fellowship constantly with Him will not miss their steps or move in the wrong direction as long as they abide by His instructions and follow His lead.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Jeremiah 46:27- But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

[God is Omnipotent but His ability is restricted by His principle by which He created existence.

All of His creation must operate within the territory of discipline. If you operate the principle of faith, you will win every day, but if you operate the principle of fear, He cannot help you].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession will make God open the eyes of your understanding so that you will behold and understand things that are mysterious to others. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee ‌ understanding.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear‌ 2Timothy 4:16-18.

Although all the men that Paul relied on forsook him in his time of need, God did not forsake him. The Lord stood with me. For all those that are active in soul winning, they will never be left alone by the Lord. He will always be by their sides and help them in their time of need. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF CANCEROUS TUMOR I began to feel pains in my stomach region 17 years ago. I kept treating and treating, yet the pain was recurring. It was two years ago that I was finally diagnosed of stomach tumor. I was scheduled for operation and the operation was carried out three months ago. The tumor was removed and I was placed on chemotherapy to heal the wounds and to prevent re-occurrence.

I spent N100,000 for each session of chemotherapy. Three months later, the wounds refused to heal and many other growths began to come up. The doctors told me it was impossible to conduct another operation. Meanwhile, the total money I had spent already on both the operation and chemotherapy was over N600,000. I finally left the hospital frustrated. I called Pastor Samuel Osaghae and told him the situation. He asked me to come see him in church the following Sunday. I came to see him in Church as instructed. I was helped into Pastor’s office by my mother as I could not walk by myself. As I got into his office, Pastor looked at me and suddenly declared that I was healed. I checked myself and to my amazement, the pains in my

abdomen and stomach had disappeared. I received my healing without Pastor having to pray for me; the presence of God in his office overwhelmed me and the cancer was taken away. I walked out of his office unaided and full of energy. Join me appreciate the Most High God. Pst. Ebosele Sylvester Join us on the 8th and 9th of December 2012 for our City Wide Miracle Crusade tagged The Glory of His Presence.

Your life will not remain the same after this encounter with the Master and Owner of your life.

DECEMBER 4 YOUR MIRACLE IS SURE Text: Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:28. The world is in a rotten state and the evil on the earth continues to increase because man has totally turned his back on God. But those that will retain the knowledge of God in their hearts in this endtime will be spared the evil of the endtime. Dwell daily in the consciousness of God’s presence and His presence with you will shield you from the evil present in the world.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. Christ’s life was cut short; He was the ancient of days that didn’t live His days. His short life was a price paid for our longevity. Therefore, our longevity is guaranteed. No one can kill you before your time on earth elapses. As long as you are in tune with God and His purpose for your life, you will fulfill your days on earth.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God who confirms the spoken word: Pay attention to your words because they are powerful enough to bring about life or death. In the Old covenant the prophet, Elijah, knew the power of the covenant which Israel had with God. As long as he spoke on the

basis of the provisions of covenant, things took a different outlook. Based on this knowledge, Elijah closed up the heavens for a space of three and a half years. There was no rain or dew in Israel at the command of the prophet. ‘And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word’ (1Kings 17:1). This ability is a function of knowledge of the God who is with him.

Another example of power in the spoken word is found from the pronouncement of another servant of God, Elisha. ‘Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.… So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD’ (2Kings 7:1, 16). Two things you must not miss in this miracle of supply is that: First, Elisha spoke in the authority of the Lord for he said ‘...Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD,..’ and the second thing is that God confirmed the words of His servant with signs following. These prophets were conscious of the presence of the God of Israel. By these examples, we in the New Testament are to awaken to the truth that the glories of the New Testament, by every means, are greater than the old covenant. If God walked with the old covenant saints with such degree of living proof, we are to expect much more today as His servants speak in His name. We are also to exercise such confidence in the power of God that proves that His words to us will not return void to Him without coming to pass. Words are not ordinary and when a child of God speaks, he should consider that his words are potent with life. Since we are joined to the Lord- the resurrected Christ, our words are no more ordinary but carry such force as can create our heart desires just as when the Lord spoke ‘...the Lord... confirming the word with signs following’ (Mark 16:20). Your miracle is sure today as the Lord speaks through His servants. Let us worship our God who works with us and confirms His word with signs following.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God There is a pattern in Christianity. You deviate from the established pattern when you do not know God. Matthew 22:29 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Knowledge of God keeps you on the right track.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  God is with me and In me: God is resident within the believer by the blessed Holy Spirit ‘..for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people’ (2Corinthians 6:16). You are beyond the ability of man or satan to kill. The power of God is for your good and to prove His indwelling, He will confirm the word you speak out and that spoken by His anointed servants over you today with signs following. Keep in your consciousness the fact that the Lord is working with you to confirm your spoken words with signs.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer

Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Speak the word: Many people wonder why they do not experience the power of God in such dimension that proves He is with them. But the key to experiencing the raw manifestation of God’s presence is tied to being actively involved in the works of the Master. The Lord is counting on us to save the lost and to lift up the down trodden. And as we comply in obedience we get to see the practicability of God’s presence. ‘Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine’ (2Timothy 4:2).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit …the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:5). The Holy Spirit enables us to love. As long as we are in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we will not struggle with loving people. Forgiveness will be automatic and we will no longer be deeply hurt when people disappoint us.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

2Kings 6:16- And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

[Fear creates a pathway for the enemy to walk into your life. Fear grants the devil access. As long as you live in fear, you will remain under the oppression and control of the devil].

SECTION 8- Intercession When intercession is made continually for all men and all those in authority, God is pleased and responds by granting peace to all men and to the nations. See 1Timothy 2:1-4 - 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.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear… 2Timothy 4:16-18 Those that are given to evangelism will always be strengthened by the Lord. While others are complaining of weakness, they will be strengthened both physical and spiritually by the Lord.

Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: David boldly declared in Psalm 119:168: I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. Can you make such a declaration to God today? It is possible to walk before God with a perfect heart; but first you must see Him around you at all time. If you can create a mental picture of the presence of God with you everyday of your life, then you will no longer find it difficult to keep God’s precepts and testimonies. The victory over sin is in the consciousness of His presence.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight, Colossians 1:21-22. The devil’s agenda to make humanity the perpetual enemy of God was defeated when Christ came to die. Our past sins have been thoroughly washed away. We have been made righteous by Christ Jesus and now appear before the Father as holy, unblameable and unreproveable.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that has prepared an inheritance for us: A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just, Proverbs 13:22. I heard the true life story of a beggar that attended a Christian meeting, and being moved by the message of the preacher decided to sow a seed of one hundred dollars. He had fifty dollars at the time and so dropped what he had and went out after the service to beg for the remainder. When he got the remaining fifty dollars, he came back to church to drop the money on the altar. This sacrificial seed caused a dramatic turnaround in his destiny.

Unknown to him, he had a rich father that had rejected him at birth. His rich father was now old and close to death and had no child to inherit his wealth and so he engaged the services of a Private detective to help him locate his long lost son. Eventually, the private detective located him and brought him to his rich father. The father passed on very soon after his reconciliation with his son and all his wealth passed on to that same man, who just weeks before was a beggar. Overnight, a beggar was turned into a millionaire without having to toil. This is the power of an inheritance. All those that have given their lives to Christ have been adopted into sonship of God and have therefore been qualified by the grace of God to inherit the bounty of heaven. Unlike the rich father in the story above, our heavenly Father is a loving and caring Father who will never turn His back on His children. He cares for every one of His children from their birth till He calls them back to be with Him. He has made provision for their welfare all through their sojourn on earth. Guess what? The inheritance is available to you even now, because the testator (Jesus Christ) has died and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. All that you need right now and all you will ever need have

been provided by the Father. Worship God today as the loving Father who has prepared a great inheritance for you.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you will excel beyond your teacher.

The bounds of your teacher’s knowledge will not limit your ability. Psalms 119:99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies (your activities and performances) are my meditation.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  God lover: The proof of our love for God is mostly rooted in what we do to directly impact fellow man. ‘And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also’ (1John 4:21). The irony however is that we do not understand that God judges our love for Him on this basis. We are God lovers by nature and love for the brethren is the direct show of such love for God. Whenever we act in ways that does not reflect love, we are simply imitating that which is not our nature. It is like imitating a barking dog or crowing like a cock- it is strange and unnatural! The love of Christ is part of our spiritual DNA- it is our nature, and it works perfectly for us in the kingdom when we begin to exploit this virtue. ‘…the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts (spirits) by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us’ (Romans 5:5 emphasis added). By nature, we are God Lovers.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Support the work of the ministry: ‘For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister’ (Hebrews 6:10).  Support the less privileged: ‘Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world’ (James 1:27).  Speak evil of no man: ‘Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge’ (James 4:11).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit …But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5:1-3). The Holy Spirit is the administrator of the New Testament Church. As long as the Church of Christ look up to Him for leadership, the church will remain on the right track and will continually make tremendous impact on earth.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

2Timothy 1:7- For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

[When you have fear, you are under possession (the control of a spirit). Fear is of the devil and so if you entertain it, you are entertaining the property and possession of the devil in your life].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession takes away captivity. The bible tells us in Job 42:10 that the captivity of Job was turned away when he involved himself in intercession. And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends… As you involve yourself in intercession today, every captivity in your life will be turned away in the name of Jesus.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion… 2Timothy 4:16-18. Deliverance from all evil is sure for all those that are soul winners. A soul winner is valuable to God and so God will always watch out for the safety of such a one and deliver him from all plots of the enemy. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Divine Protection Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

When you go through the toughest seasons of your life, you have God’s assurance that His rod and staff will be right by your side to comfort you. Even in the darkest challenges, your Father will never leave you alone. His presence with you will not allow witches and demons come close. Manipulations of wicked men and women have no power over you. No matter the evil that is cooked up in darkness against you, you have victory over them because the Father is always with you to shield you from all evil.

Armed with this knowledge, do prophetic warfare until you enjoy divine protection every minute of the day and every day of your life. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare. 

Thank God for the assurance of His never failing presence with you

TESTIMONY HEALED OF ULCER AND HEART CONDITION I suffered from Ulcer for about eight years. And then two years ago, I began to feel pains in my heart. I went to hospital and was diagnosed to have a heart problem. For two years, I kept having palpitations, headaches, chest pain, and sleepless nights. I could not breathe properly and was easily exhausted. I kept going to hospital and was given various drugs but the condition persisted. At a time I got tired of taking drugs because the drugs did not make any difference in my situation. I watched Pastor Osaghae ministering on Television one day and decided to come see him. I believed God would use him to heal me. I came to see him in his office and I told him what I was going through. Pastor prayed for me and as he prayed, I felt God’s power moving through my body. After the prayers, I checked and discovered that all the symptoms of Ulcer and Heart Disease that I had been feeling had disappeared. I feel so light and full of strength. I can do those things I could not do before. God is indeed a God of miracles.

DECEMBER 6 GOD’S INITIATIVE Text: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Never forget that there is no secret sin. Every act of man is made bare before God and everyone shall give account of how he or she lived his/her life. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1. When you know that God is always with you, you will lose the ability to commit sin. Let a strong consciousness of God’s presence be established in your life today, for this is the secret to overcoming sin.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, 2Corinthians 5:21. Jesus was made sin that we will be righteous.

When Christ came, He became the sinner for us so we can be the righteousness of God. Now when the Father looks on us, He does not see us but sees His son Jesus. The righteousness of Jesus is therefore a cloak of covering over us, making us righteous before the Father. The devil has by this been defeated in his plan to make us repulsive to the Father.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that offered Himself to bear the sins of many: Divine justice demanded that the sin problem in the world could only be solved by the offering of sinless blood.

However there was no such blood available in the Adamic race. All men had become sinners in Adam for all had sinned according to the book of Romans- ‘For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 3:23-24). In His love for man-kind, God had to become man in order to qualify as the perfect substitute for the sin problem- He offered up Himself for the salvation on the world. Every time in the Old Testament a sacrifice was made, it was a fore shadow of divine justice. It always was a pointer to the man who would become the lamb which was to take away the sin of the world. Divine justice decided that the guilty had to go free while the innocent paid the penalty for the heinous crime. How strange! However no man was found worthy of this demand- for there was no sinless, innocent man; all had sinned. In the Old Testament- shortly before

the ministry of Jesus Christ, John the Baptist came preaching the doctrine of repentance and baptism. And one fateful day, Jesus showed up- the carpenter showed up. [To some, Jesus was a bastard because the claims surrounding His birth were strange. No man ever heard of an immaculate conception- or perhaps Isaiah’s prophecy was just too far flung a prophecy; too extreme to become a reality (Isaiah7:14; Luke1:26-38).

However His birth was an answer to the need for an innocent-sinless man. It was an answer to the prophecy of Isaiah, for man was to discover that with God all things are possible ‘Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.’(Isaiah7:14)] It was only John the Baptist who gained divine insight into the birth of Jesus Christ for it was He that announced the emergence of the Lamb of God ‘The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world’ (John 1:29). God had finally become man (Emmanuel) in order to re-unite mankind to divinity. God had to bear the sufferings of sin for humanity- He had become the eternal scape goat for humanity. What a love! From the day John the Baptist announced His emergence as the Lamb with responsibility of taking away our sin- the Lord began suffering for humanity. He wiped every tear, fed the hungry, healed the sick, made rich this impoverished world. He was stripped of divine dignity and was clothed with shameHe bled and died. He bore our sin, He suffered for us in the cavern of hell- He bore our iniquity ‘All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all’ (Isaiah 53:6). We are told that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself- ‘…God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them…’ (2Corinthians 5:19). God suffered the penalty of sin in order for us to enjoy the blessings of His righteousness- it was divine exchange! ‘For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just (Christ) for the unjust (Adamic, human race), that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit’ (1Peter 3:18). Thank God He rose from the dead. If God has given all to us- if He has suffered the penalty of sin in order to bless us; child of God, refuse to accept whatever makes you feel you are less than the best. God has paid for the good just take what is yours today.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God gives you strength. Daniel 11:32- …but the people that do know their God shall be strong... The strength you need is obtained in your knowing Him. You will not have strength for performance if you do not know God enough.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  My sins were borne by the Lord. He became sin that I might become righteous (2Corinthians 5:21): The child of God is not a sinner saved by grace- He is a new creation in Christ Jesus! Notice I did not say he has not been saved by grace, but that being now saved, he is not a sinner saved by grace. Before I was saved, I was a sinner. But when grace found me, I was changed completely by the blood of the Lamb of God. We cannot still be sinners if Christ has saved and made us new. We cannot be sinners if we are in



Christ for there is no sin in Christ Jesus. Our sin nature was completely purged by the blood of God’s Lamb. Remember that Jesus came to take away the sin of the world (see John 1:29). The child of God now has power over sin because it is no more his naturehis nature is now righteousness! We have the ability to live above sin because we are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2Corinthians 5:21). If you find yourself in struggle with sinful habits, it is like a man who wants to act like a monkey. You will lose the acceptance of fellow men- you are considered insane for it is not a natural way of life for men; we are not monkeys. Sin is living below the standard of your nature and call as God’s child; it is behaving like a monkey even though you are a man. It is the case of having a poor identity of yourself. From today see yourself as the righteousness of God not a sinner and walk like God made you. If you stumble, get up and keep moving in the knowledge of who you are. Repent and move on with the Lord. Thank God for making you His righteousness!

The Lord Jesus is coming to take me in glory with Him, anytime from now: ‘...and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation’ (Hebrews 9:28). This is an answer to the prayer of the Lord Jesus ‘Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world’ (John 17:24). All true believers should be expectant- looking for the return of our Lord and Saviour. The first time the Lord appeared, it was because of the sin problem that ravaged the whole earth. He came with the anointing to bear the sin of the world. But for us who are looking for His soon return, He will appear a second time not to die for sin again, but to receive us to His abode in order to share in His glory. This is called the blessed hope of the believer. ‘Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ’ (Titus 2:13). Thank God for this; He is coming for us who believe in Him and are looking for His return.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  We are to constantly look in expectation of His second return of glory (Acts 1:11): It is only as we constantly look for His return at any time, knowing that He is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle- a holy church that is prepared for His return, that we will see Him without sin unto salvation. (See Luke 21:34-36, 1Peter 4:17, Matthew 24:36-44, 45-51: Matthew 25:1-46).

These references highlights 5 major issues you must watch out for while waiting for the soon return of the Lord:  Matthew 24:34-36 - Watch your social life; your taste and desires. Make sure you are not lustful or covetous, or lustfully desirous of worldly pleasures at the expense of your spiritual life.  Matthew 24:45-51- Watch your relationship with people. Is it peaceful or full of conflicts and wars? Matthew 5:9, Hebrews 12:14, Romans 12:17-21.  Matthew 25:1-13- Watch your location when you are supposed to be in the house of God. Hebrews 10:25. Try to always keep your service days as much as you can.

 

Matthews 25:14-30- Suggests that you must try to be fruitful. Be a soul winner.

Be passionate about telling someone about the love of God. Matthew 25:31-46- This reference suggests that you have good and caring attitude towards the needy in intercession and in practical giving and welfare.

Hebrews 13:2 says ‘Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.’, and Galatians 6:2 says ‘Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ’.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4). The Holy Spirit is the giver of utterance. Those that fellowship with Him constantly are never short of words; the Holy Spirit will always place the right word for every occasion in their mouth.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Joel 2:21- Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

[A life of fear will make you jump from pleasure to horror (frustration). For God’s blessings upon your life to be preserved, you must banish fear from your heart].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession brings about great wealth. See Job 42:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. You don’t have to keep praying for financial blessing; as you involve yourself in intercession, God will begin to open financial doors and windows for you.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 2Timothy 4:16-18. Divine preservation is one of the benefits of evangelism. As a Soul Winner, you are very relevant to God in His plan for mankind on earth and so His Mighty hand will preserve you.

The more involved you are in soul winning, the more life you add to your years. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week

Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Divine Protection Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

DECEMBER 7 ORDAINED BY GOD Text: 1Timothy 2:7

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: The Eagle kills a creature by taking it high up to an altitude where the organism cannot withstand the atmospheric pressure. At that altitude, the Eagle does not have to pray for the organism to die; it is destroyed naturally. When you dwell in the consciousness of God’s presence, you have no business with fighting your enemies, for any enemy that comes to seek you at that altitude will be destroyed by the pressure that radiates from the Lord. Leave vengeance on your enemies to God as you concentrate on His presence (Joel 3:17-21).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy, 1Peter 2:9-10. We were not a people of God, but are now a people of God having been called out of darkness and brought into the marvelous light of the Father. Having been accepted by the Father, His Hand of covering is now over us, sealing us from the arrows of darkness and placing us beyond his reach.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that ordains: The power to ordain sheds further light on the omniscience of God. It tells of the limitlessness of His knowledge and how that His plan for us cannot be annulled by the most powerful of men or satanic forces. ‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.’(Jeremiah 1:5). I want you to see the importance of what God was telling Jeremiah: first, before the parents ever met, God already knew him. This simply sheds light on our eternal nature. Our existence on the earth is just one phase of our existence with God for He said ‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee..’ what this means is that God knew Jeremiah in an intimate and personal way- even before he was formed in his mother’s belly. In this manner of absolute knowledge, God not only sanctified Jeremiah, but He also ordained (appointed) him to be a prophet to the nations before he was eventually born. God saw him as successful and victorious but Jeremiah had yet to discover himself. This world is a place of limitations. We are often told what we cannot be and do, more than we are told what is possible. But thank God we have His word which helps our understanding and reveals to us possibilities beyond the widest stretch of the imagination. When the apostle Paul used the word ordain with regards to his assignment, he meant that God had given him an appointment. The point is that even if he could not have done it, because God had given him the appointment, the forces of life would cooperate to ensure that he succeeded. When God ordains anyone, it changes the person completely-spirit, soul and

body. ‘Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you’ (John 15:16.) Just imagine what Jesus has said about our ordination- fruitfulness! The hallmark of creation is fruitfulness and multiplication but this has been the one place satan has often told us is not possible. But if you listen to the Lord you will find out today that God has ordained you to a life of fruitfulness. Second, you have to realize that until you believe what God has said about you, you cannot become it. All things are indeed possible to Him that believes (Mark 9:23). Nothing can stop you but you! Let us worship our God who has ordained us to a life of fruitfulness.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God helps you to do exploits. Daniel 11:32- …but the people that do know their God shall … do exploits. Daniel and his colleagues did exploits and became a reference point because they knew their God. Just like these men, you will do exploits when you know God. SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Ordained a preacher and a teacher with result: We have been ordained to be fruitful in preaching, teaching and prayer according to Matthew 28:19-20 and John 15:16 which says ‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:…’ ‘Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.’ The reason for His choice of us is so that we may go and bring forth fruits just like Him, in a world infected with barrenness. The darkness of satanic wickedness is a good platform for us to shine forth the glorious light of the Father. Thank God for ordaining us, for we are what He has ordained us to be- fruit producers. We have result to prove our call and ordination. We are fruit producing parts of the vine. Praise God. We are not useless to the Lord, as we bring Him great Joy and delight by being fruitful.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Speak the truth in Christ and lie not: Take note of the following highlights:  All liars shall have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:7-8, Revelation 22:12-15).  The devil is the father of all liars (John 8:44). Acts 5:3 …why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie?  This was the first recorded sin in the new apostolic church and it was judged by God instantaneously with death.  We have the spirit of God, who is described as the spirit of truth (John 14:16-17).





Paul emphatically said ‘I lie not’ Galatians 1:20 says ‘Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.’ (Romans 9:1, 2Corithians 11:13). Can this be your confession? He advises us not to lie (Colossians 3:9-10, Proverbs 6:16-19, Matthew 12:36-37) James 3:2 says ‘For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body’.

Gehazi lost his expected prophetic inheritance by lying.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever (John 14:16). The Holy Spirit is our Comforter. At those times when we are down emotionally, constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit is all the comfort that we need.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Isaiah 41:10- Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

[Existence is ruled by fear or faith. Without faith, no man can please God (Hebrews 11:6). If you have fear, you are not pleasing God].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession brings about restoration of helpers. See Job 42:10-11 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: … Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. As you get involved in intercession this day, God will restore to you all those that have turned their backs on you and will make them do good to you.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Acts 5:17-20. When you are involved in evangelism, you cannot be kept perpetually in any form of imprisonment, be it financial, spiritual, academic, etc. God will always bring you forth from every issue that can limit your progress in life. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week

Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF ENLARGED HEART AND LIVER I thank God for giving me life and for making me to see this day. I suffered from enlargement of the heart and liver and was sick for about a year. At the hospital, the doctor, after tests, told me that the valves of my heart were blocked. Due to this, my stomach became swollen. People thought I was pregnant and some even called me pregnant woman. When I walk a short distance, I would begin to pant heavily and breathing would be difficult. I could not do carry out the usual household chores; I even had to close down my business. At night, I was unable sleep.

I could not lie down but would sit to sleep because if I lay down, I would not be able to breathe.

I lost weight and became very thin. Standing up from my seat was always a problem; I would take my time as I had no strength to get up. I was so weak that I could not even carry my baby or take care of her. I was admitted in hospital for some time and was later discharged and placed on medication, but all these were of no effect. My condition kept getting worse. During a programme in church tagged “My Season of Solution”, our daddy, Pastor Samuel Osaghae, prayed for me. As soon as he laid hands on me, I knew that God had visited me. My stomach that was big like that of a nine months pregnant woman reduced and I regained my ability to breathe freely. I felt great strength come upon me and I began to run up and down on the altar.

I received my complete healing that day and since then till date, I have been in perfect condition of health. I can now do all the things I was unable to do as a result of the health challenge. I lie down to sleep now like every normal person. God has healed me completely.

Praise the Lord!

DECEMBER 8 THE GIFT OF GOD’S GRACE Text: Ephesians 3:7-8 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: …And the child Samuel grew before the LORD, 1Samuel 2:21. Samuel grew unto greatness because he grew before the Lord (in the constant consciousness of God’s presence with him). As a consequence of this, he heard God’s voice, his word never fell to the ground (he had authority), and he became famous. Those that are rooted in the Lord will be strong and do exploits. If you must make a mark on earth and fulfill your God given mandate, then you must live your life before Him daily i.e. with knowledge that He is always present with you.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? Romans 9:23-24. The agenda of the devil to make God deal with us by judgment was defeated when Jesus died for us. We are now vessels of mercy. God no longer deals with us by judgment but by mercy.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that makes people ministers according to the gift of His grace in their life: In the book of Judges 6, we find an encounter that transformed the life of a young man named Gideon. A fearful, discouraged young man was visited with the news of God’s grace and ability. At first, his challenge was how to reconcile what he knew about himself and who God said he had been made. Let us read his struggles: ‘And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.’ (Judges 6:12-16). It does not matter where life may have dumped you, your destiny is at the top and you will get there. You are born great and you have to accept this as true. Do not accept the description of your future or destiny as described by the negative circumstances you may be facing. Many Christians hear or read in the word who God has made them, but they are in doubt of whether that can be real. They are not quite sure God is serious about the things He has said. But if we will move from that realm of unbelief to the realm of revelation, we will not only do what God has purposed, we will even excel in it. Paul the apostle was faced with the same challenge as Gideon in the New Testament. The name, Saul, which means small was his identity before God changed him altogether and his name became Paul. Coupled with his ‘disadvantage’, Paul had a heinous reputation of carnage- killing believers in Christ everywhere he found them before he was converted. His worse night mare was that, now, he had to propagate the way he once fought against. However, once he met the Lord, Like Gideon, he not only had to focus on the grace of God, he also came with the testimony of exceeding the works of the other apostles who were on ground before him. Read his account: ‘For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me’(1Corinthians 15:9-10). The God that makes is your Father and His grace is available to you today just as it was available to Gideon and to Paul.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God brings blessings upon your life. Peter’s knowledge of Jesus made him blessed. In any area you know God, the curse in that area is broken. Matthew 16:13-19 - When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? … And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Minister of God: The word minister simply means to serve. Every child of God is a servant of the good news which our Lord brought to the earth. We are able to do this task which, indeed, is actually accomplished by the grace of God which works mightily in us. ‘..but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me’ (1Corinthians 15:10). To be in ministry is to be in a servant positionhowever, it is being the Lord’s servant. According to the revelation put forward by Paul, to be a minister is an avenue for God to find expression through His servants- it is God who is actually working through His willing ministers. Today, realize that God has made you His minister- you are not ordinary any more. You are now a servant of the Most High God. Hebrews 1:7, speaks of God’s ministers being a flame of fire. Thank God for this grace.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Preach the unsearchable riches of Christ; that is the benefit of the grace of God in Christ Jesus: Remember that we are made able ministers of the New Testament.

Therefore we should preach the benefits of the finished works of Christ Jesus: - By his stripes we are healed - The chastisement of our peace was upon Him. - He was made a man of sorrow for our joy.

- He was made ugly for our beauty.

- Oppressed for our freedom.

- Died young for us to live long.

- Became poor for our prosperity.

- Rejected for our acceptance.

- Lost the Father’s presence for us to gain the ever abiding presence of God. - He went to hell to prepare us for heaven.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing… (Isaiah 28:1112). The Holy Spirit refreshes us: He is the giver of rest. Those that fellowship continually with the Holy Spirit will not be weary, but will renew their strength on a daily basis.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function:

(i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Genesis 46:3- And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: [God created the ability to die. If you associate with death, you will die. The current in the river kills: If you dive into the river when you cannot swim, then you are inviting death. In the same vein, if you live in fear, you are inviting death to yourself].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession attracts blessings from men and women. As you continue in daily intercession, God will instruct people to bless you. See Job 42:10-11 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: … every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16/ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38. Those that are not ashamed to preach the gospel of Christ, but boldly declare Christ at every given opportunity will enjoy divine advertisement. Jesus will present their profile to the Father and their dedication to the expansion of the Kingdom will be greatly rewarded. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Divine Protection Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.  

3. What have you discovered about YOURSELF today?

4. What RESPONSIBILITY have you discovered today?

Meditate on these four points throughout today to gain light for your profiting (…that thy profiting may appear unto all, 1Timothy 4:15).

DECEMBER 9 WINNING BY INTERCESSION Text: 1Timothy 2:1-4 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.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Man was created for fellowship with the Godhead. God is, therefore, saddened when we do not pay attention to Him. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded (Proverbs 1:24). God longs for your company; He wants you to dwell daily with Him in an intimate relationship. We must not let God’s outstretched hand remain hanging. Always be conscious of His desire for your company. He wants to guide your path if only you will hearken to His voice. Relate with Him today as the God who is always present with you.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulations and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] John 16:33 (Amp). For all those who are born again children of the Father, the devil has lost his ability to hurt them. Christ has overcome the world and has deprived it of its power to harm you. And so, as long as your surrender is genuine and total, you have victory over the devil and his devices on a daily basis.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  God our Saviour, who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth: ‘The Lord is…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance’ (2Peter 3:9). A combination of divine life and knowledge is the key to a really fulfilling Christian experience. Even our Master, Jesus Christ, is called the word made flesh (John 1:14), and we are also told that by His knowledge He justified many ‘...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities’ (Isaiah 53:11). It is not enough to be saved, if we do not come to the knowledge of the truth, satan can very well thrive in the life of such child of God. This is true because even though the child of God is saved, it would take acquisition of knowledge for him to truly experience the liberty He has been called to. A prophet of God revealed that God’s people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

When we are born again, we are brought into the family of God- we are created in His image spiritually. A spontaneous spiritual change takes place in the believer. However, in order to fully grow to spiritual adult hood in Christ, and enjoy the benefits in the bornagain life, the believer needs sufficient supply of truth or useful knowledge about a variety of things. Scripture says ‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’ (John 8:32). God is not leaving us at the born again experience level; rather He is wooing us to spiritual growth. He wants us to fully mature. He wants Christ to be formed in us, and this level of development begins with a desire for the truth. Peter admonishes us to desire the milk of the word as new born babes if we must grow (1Peter 2:2). However, Paul the apostle admonished us to move from the milk of the gospel to strong meat- ‘For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 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 5:13-14). We must first desire the elementary principles of the bornagain life if we must move on to the strong meat of mature Christian life. Our God wants us to come to the knowledge of the truth after we are saved. It is true that we are saved when we receive revelation knowledge of our lost state. However it takes the continuous inflow of revelation knowledge for further growth to be experienced, and this is what God desires for all whom He births. We achieve this through inspiring messages from the word. This, indeed, is the basis for the manifestation of the sons of

God. Let us worship our God who not only saves us, but wants us to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you become a rock that is not easily shaken. Matthew 16:13-19 - When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? … And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  A Priest unto God: First things must be put first. Paul is showing us as children of God that we have been made priests of God, and the call to pray is our first assignment.

Priests in the bible are ordained in services pertaining to God on behalf of men. They are intermediaries between God and His people. In the New Testament, we have been called into the priestly office as intercessors- ‘And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth’ (Revelation 5:10). In a sense, one of the keys to reigning on the earth, now, as priests is tied to doing the first things as Paul has shown us here: ‘I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men..’(1Timothy 2:1). The much needed change we want to see in our communities, families and in lives are tied to this priestly office. God has invited us to call upon Him with the assurance of answers to our prayers ‘Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not’ (Jeremiah 33:3) and this implies that there are areas God will never touch unless we ask Him to. What are we going to do about this call to serve in prayer? Thank God for making you a priest.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  ‘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;..’(1Timothy 2:1-2).  We are to appeal to God on behalf of unsaved men. We bring our strong reasons to God why we want them saved and why we want a need met. This is our supplication responsibility.  When we pray we are speaking to God in hope that our earnest request be granted. Prayer is enjoined for all believers. It is a fundamental key in our fellowship with the Lord. The priestly assignment is summarily encoded in the communion of prayer. We are to watch and pray (Matthew 26:41)  The call to intercede goes beyond requesting once for a need, and stretches to a continuous entreaty for the salvation of sinners and the maturing of the saints. It

is earnestness of heart for concerns of utmost importance in God’s heart. Paul interceded for the salvation of the Galatians, but once the fruit of his intercession came in, he continued in intercession for their maturing- till Christ be formed in you (See Galatians 4:19). Shouldn’t we do the same for our assemblies and communities today?  Giving of thanks is a way of life for the knowledgeable child of God. God has done all things well. Thanksgiving is the life wire of the New Testament prayer.

The child of God has no need that God has not provided for. Even in the face of dead and decaying Lazarus, Jesus gave thanks because, said He, God hears Him always (John 11:41-42) Then He went on to call out the dead. This means that no matter how bad a condition may seem, we are to appear before God with a thankful heart. We are admonished to give thanks in all things. ‘In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you’ (1Thessalonians 5:18).

The bottom line in our responsibility as Christians is to keep our prayer life burning with passion in order of preference posited by the Spirit of God through the apostle Paul. ‘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;..’(1Timothy 2:12).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit is our teacher and enables our remembrance of significant knowledge. Those that fellowship constantly with Him are excellent in their academics and will always do exploit in their fields.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Luke 12:32- Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

[Judges 6:4- …and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. When you have fear, there is no sustenance of good things in your life] SECTION 8- Intercession As an intercessor, your latter end will surely be greater than your beginning. It does not matter how badly you started, you will always finish strong. See Job 42:10, 12 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: …So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning….

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word, Acts 8:4.

Although scattered abroad because of the persecution of the Church, the disciples remained committed to spreading the gospel. They did not allow their seemingly sad situation hinder them from carrying out their responsibility of soul winning. No situation must prevent you from bringing in souls to the Master. As you remain committed to God’s agenda inspite of your own needs and pains, God will handle every ugly situation in your life and give you a testimony.

Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Prosperity Psalm 16:6- The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Having accepted Christ as Lord and Master of your life, the light of God has been released upon your life, making your life a magnetic field that attracts good things and repels evil. The lines are fallen unto you in pleasant places. Only the good things of life are permitted to come your way. You are heir to all the riches of the Father in glory. What heritage can be more than this? If you fully understand and believe this assurance of the Father, you will never again be in lack for your Father is the owner of all things and as His heir, you have access to all things.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to decree abundant health and prosperity in your life. You have no business with sickness, poverty or lack. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.           

Thank God for His light shined upon you that has made your life a force that attracts goodness and favour Thank God for your good inheritance in Him Thank God for the blessings you can see in your life already and appreciate Him in advance for the ones you are yet to receive Take authority against the power of lack and poverty in your life. Disconnect yourself from their hold and influence.

Command all issues of life to begin to work in your favour Root out every appearance of poverty in your life.

Destroy the mentality of poverty that the devil may have used to hold you down in poverty Pray against every bad decision that can reduce you financially Call forth every helper that the Lord has ordained to be a blessing to you Seal your businesses and all your sources of income with the blood of Jesus Pray against wastages and loopholes through which money is taken away by the devil.

 

Declare that you are not a beggar, and will not borrow because you live in the realm of ‘more than enough’.

Decree all the beautiful things you want to see in your financial life and in the finances of your loved ones

TESTIMONY 19 YEARS OF BEDWETTING HEALED It all started when I was about 12 years of age. Prior to that time, I had never experienced bedwetting. I suffered verbal abuse and psychological depression as a result. I thought I would outgrow the experience with age, but I did not. I thought that by regulating my food and fluid intake, I would get a reprieve, it never came. I grew into my adolescent years bearing this burden of shame. When I got married, I wrestled with the thought of my husband getting to know of my problem and what his reaction would be. After marriage, I was still bedwetting, but my husband kept it a well guarded secret, not wanting to embarrass me. This went on until my husband brought me to see our daddy, Pastor Samuel Osaghae. Daddy instructed me to bring a bottle of anointing oil to him so that he can pray over it. I did as instructed and after he had prayed over it, he told me to drink the entire anointing oil, using the bottle cup as my measuring dose and he added these words, “this anointing oil will regulate your urinary system and stop that ugly experience”. Amazingly, the anointing oil and my urinary system had respect for the word spoken by Pastor Samuel Osaghae as both co-operated for my miraculous healing.

My 16 years of affliction came to an end just like that! Somebody help me shout hallelujah.

DECEMBER 10 GOD’S CREATIVE WORD Text: John 2:1-5 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple, Psalm 27:4. Every day, we ought to live with a desire to behold the face of the Lord.

What this means is that, we must deliberately discipline ourselves to spend intimate moments with the Lord through the word and prayers. See Him with you all day long and you will always be prepared to handle exigencies.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, Matthew 28:18. It is impossible for God to lie. If Jesus says all power in heaven and in earth has been given unto him, then it means that there is no power left to the devil and his demons.

Christ took all the power and so the enemy no longer has any power to oppress children of God. Christians that still suffer affliction do so out of ignorance and fear. If you can catch this revelation of the complete defeat of the devil and understand that the devil no longer has power to oppress you, then your victory in Christ will be complete.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God who does what He says: The expression of God’s omnipotence is predicated on His spoken word; if you want to see the power of God at work, you are simply asking to hear Him speak. The whole of Creation and the laws governing it is in place at the command of God. His word is powerful and holds the sun and other planetary bodies in place till date. All things subsist at the instance of God’s word.

‘God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake... Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Upholding all things by the word of his power..’ (Hebrews 1:13). Our belief in the all-powerful word of God is the key to manifestation. It is our explicit and implicit confidence in the power of God’s word. The ancients knew thisthey understood the potency of the word and even dared to lay down their lives for the word (see Hebrews 11:32-38). They knew that whenever God spoke a word, it was bound to come to pass. Mary, the mother of Jesus had come to this

understanding long before she conceived the savior. ‘For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her’ (Luke 1:37-38). She knew, not only how to submit to the authority of the word, but how to place a demand on the word of God. We are to learn something very vital from her disposition towards the Lord; ‘His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.’

(John 1:5). This knowledge of submitting ourselves to the authority of the word of God is the key to discovering the power of God. Scripture tell us that water was turned into wine once the people received the word from Him and acted in accordance with the instruction. Hear what Job’s friend, Eliphaz had to say: ‘Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart’ (Job 22:22).

We receive and lay up His word so that we may be influenced by it. David said, ‘Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee’ (Psalm 119:11). He knew of the potency of God’s word and sought for nothing but a word from His mouth. If Eliphaz knew of this ancient principle and admonished his ailing friend thus, shouldn’t we take a cue from him? On one account, Mary the sister of Jesus’ friend, Lazarus, sat at the feet of Jesus to hear Him speak and was commended for choosing the word in place of other obligations (see Luke 10:41-42). Remember that God cannot fail- He does what He says and says what He does. Let us worship Him with this knowledge.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, your life will be built up by God so you can handle spiritual responsibilities. Matthew 16:13-19 - When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? … And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  A Doer of the word: God’s power is lodged in His word, and the way to detonate this awesome power is to practice being a doer of His word. You can only be a beneficiary of inherent word power as you practice the word of God. ‘But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was’ (James 1:22-24). The mother of Jesus Christ said to the attendants- do whatever He says to you! To be intelligent is to do whatever the Lord has enjoined us- not what is acceptable to men. We can never be smarter than the God who made the universe. We are created to be doers of the word. Thank God for this.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Study the word: ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path’ (Psalm 119:105; 2Timothy 2:15).  Meditate in the word: ‘Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word’ (Psalm 119:148).  Practice being a doer of the word: ‘But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves’ (James 1:22; Joshua1:8).  Preach the word: ‘Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine’ (2Timothy 4:2).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19b). The Holy Spirit is our Minister of Defense. He defends all those that fellowship with Him, ensuring their deliverance from all the ploys and plots of the enemy.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Zechariah 8:13- And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

[When you have faith instead of fear, you please God (Heb. 11:6), and when a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him (Prov. 16:7). Fear will make your enemies be at war with you perpetually].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession attracts long life. See Job 42:10, 16 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: …After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. Job lived another one hundred and forty years after his trial came to an end. This indeed is long life. You can also enjoy long life when you involve yourself daily in praying for others.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did, Acts 8:5-6. Philip was originally ordained as a Deacon but his evangelistic activity promoted him to Evangelist. While a Deacon, there was no record of any miracle by him, but when he became involved in soul winning, God worked great miracles through Him and He even experienced rapture when he was transported in the Spirit to Azotus after his encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch. As you involve yourself in soul winning, you will receive

spiritual promotion and your activities will be confirmed with great miracles. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Prosperity Psalm 16:6- The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

DECEMBER 11 FISHERS OF MEN Text: Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: ‘And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him’ John 8:29. You cannot do those things that please God unless you dwell daily in His consciousness. You must realize that you are on earth on a mission and the God that commissioned you watches you daily to assess your progress. If you can see His eyes on you always, then you will find it easy to do those things that please Him. SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil, 1John 3:8b. Jesus was manifested in the flesh so that the works of the devil will be destroyed.

Before His manifestation in the flesh, He only existed as the word of God. The word became flesh for the singular purpose of destroying the works of the devil. And just before He gave up the ghost on the cross, He said “It is finished”. Christ Jesus completed His task before He was taken up to heaven. The works were not destroyed until He was manifested. The implication of this is that the works of the devil have been destroyed completely. No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises against you is condemned already because every divination and enchantment of the devil has been destroyed by Christ Jesus.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The Lord of the harvest: From the days of Jesus Christ till this day, the world has been in a continuous season of harvest. The real challenge however, is that there have been a high demand for laborers. The owner of the harvest itself is the number one Laborer and He wants as many as will come with Him to learn the secret of harvesting and this begins with praying the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2) and the next thing is to follow or imitate His pattern in soul winning. ‘And he saith unto them, Follow me (imitate me), and I will make you fishers of men’ (Matthew 4:19 emphasis added). All who are saved are called in to the labor of the master Himself- we are co laborers with the Lord Himself- ‘We then, as workers together with him, beseech

you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain’ (2Corinthians 6:1). That we are saved from the doom of eternal separation from the Lord is the point where we received His grace. If it has not made sense to us that we ought to reach out to others who are still within the strong hold of Satan, it means we are receiving the grace of God in vain and we shall doubtless give account for our reckless living someday. It is wisdom therefore, to pray to The Lord of the harvest that He would send laborers into His harvest, and we ourselves becoming active participants in the labor field of soul harvesting. No monetary gift will be accepted by the Lord. Neither silver nor gold will appease Him. No earthly present will be accepted in glory except the gift of precious souls for whom He bled and died. Let us not receive the grace of the Lord God in vain.

Or do we intend to someday stand before Him and see how foolishly we sojourned this terrestrial abode ‘And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament…’

(Daniel 12:3). May the Lord not be disappointed in us when we stand before Him someday. We must cooperate now with the Lord of the Harvest, or gaze someday, in utter amazement, on how carelessly we have expended our talents in valueless pursuits.

Worship the Lord of the harvest today.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you will have victory all the time over the devices of the devil. Matthew 16:13-19 - …and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it...

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Laborer in the Lord’s vineyard: Paul revealed to us that we are co- workers or colaborers with the Lord. Let us be guided with this truth that there is a reward for every effort we put into soul winning as we walk with the Lord. ‘And he that reapeth receiveth wages...’ (John 4:36). God has designed the wage of a true harvester in such ways that unless you are truly committed to this business of soul winning, you will not enjoy wages due you from the Lord of the Harvest. ‘...for the laborer is worthy of his wages.’

(Luke 10:7). Thank God we are wise laborers in the vineyard of the master and we shall be dully rewarded of the Lord. He that sees in secret shall reward us openly if we do not faint in our responsibility.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Develop a daily and moment by moment communion with the Holy Spirit: Your knowledge of His personality and activities in the life of the believer will help you. Here are some of them below for your assistance: i. He leads us where the harvest is ready and shows us things to come. (Isaiah30:21; Romans 8:14; John 16:13) ii. He is the revealer of secrets. (John16:13; 1Corinthians 2:11-12)





Try to be mindful always of the grace you have in Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection: Meditate on them for your profiting, and below are some of them for your benefit: i. He died for us so that our lives would be lived for Him (2Corinthians 5:15) ii. We are beyond the destructive ability of the enemy. (Isaiah 54:17; Colossians 3:3) Try to be mindful of the unconditional love of God: ‘Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations’ (1Chronicle 16:15). (See Romans 5:8, 8:32, Ephesians 3:19, Jeremiah 32:40).

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7). The Holy Spirit is the giver of boldness. As you fellowship with Him daily, you receive boldness to confront all situations.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Jeremiah 1:19- And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

[Judges 6:2- And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel… Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

When you do not obey God’s instruction not to fear, you will see the hand of the enemy prevailing against you].

SECTION 8- Intercession An intercessor does not grow weary in old age; he will live in health all his days even to the day of his death. See Job 42, 10, 17 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: …So Job died, being old and full of days. At Job’s death, he was still full of life. He was not a burden to his children. This also is the portion of every one that is diligent in intercession.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever, Daniel 12:3. Having been saved and brought to the knowledge of the Most High God and the sacrifice of His dear son, the duty now rests on us to bring others to this knowledge. We are not to rest on our oars until everyone around us hears about the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection. The more you bring people into God;s fold, the brighter your life will be. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF LIVER DISEASE DURING EARLY SATISFACTION PROGRAMME Sometime ago, I began to fall sick frequently. My eye balls became yellowish in colour, the colour of my urine became brownish like stout, I lost my appetite and began to lose weight. I

was taken to a private hospital and from there was referred to University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). Tests were conducted at UBTH and it was discovered that I had liver disease.

Drugs were prescribed and I began to take the drugs dutifully. However, there was no change in my condition. I was in this state when my in-law invited me to see God’s servant- Pastor Samuel Osaghae. This was during the Early Satisfaction programme. There was not enough time during the service for Pastor to minister to me so I was taken to his office to see him at the end of the service. Pastor ministered to me in his office and I received God’s touch. All the symptoms I had been feeling disappeared that very day. After some days, I went back to the hospital for check up. Fresh tests were carried out and tests revealed that I was in perfect condition of health. It’s been almost one year now. I have been in perfect condition of health to the glory of God. Join me celebrate the God of Pastor Samuel Osaghae.

Brother Izu Onoura Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013 @ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.

Time: 6.15 – 7.30am daily A prophetic, prayer programme aimed at activating heaven for quick delivery of your expectation for the year 2013. There will be ministration to the sick on Saturday 5 th and Saturday 12th. Come and settle your prompt satisfaction in the New Year.

DECEMBER 12 THE GREAT PROVIDER Text: Zachariah10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: …lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:20). All nations that forget God shall forever be separated from Him. We have been called to live in His presence, and this begins with a deliberate attempt. Today, attempt to deliberately keep God in your consciousness by keeping His word to heart. The Lord is with you always- never forget that.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men, Ephesians 4:8. When Christ ascended, the devil’s ability to put believers in bondage was taken away. The captor has been bound. If a man that held a captive bound is put in chains,

how will he then be able to keep his captive bound? All those that were once under the captivity of the devil have been set free because the devil who was the captor has been led captive by the Son of God. The devil does not have the capacity to hold a child of God in bondage anymore. You are more than a conqueror because the oppressor is now the oppressed.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The Lord: The word ‘LORD’ is translated from the Hebrew word Adonai. It summarily means the owner. Scriptures tell us that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof (Psalm 24:1). Our father is the owner of all things- even Satan, the enemy! This is the reason you must never be afraid of the devil because he can only operate as far as he is permitted, and he is definitely terrified each time we remind him of his destination. Our owner says that no weapon forged against us shall prosper- and all things are mandated to work together for our good (Isaiah 54:17; Romans 8:28). It is a wise thing to know for sure, that the child of the LORD has a cutting-edge advantage over creation, by every means. Scriptures says that the maker of all things is our husband (Isaiah 54:5). You see, the enemy (Satan) does not dispute the fact that technically God owns all things. But he knows that in the meantime- while the Adamic lease subsists- all things are operationally within his manipulation. This knowledge, however, should not scare the child of God who knows that Jesus has already stripped satan of his power to control all those who are born again. Take note that although satan may be the god of this world system for now (2Corinthians 4:4), he has no Lordship rights over the child of the maker of all things. All power (rule and authority) have been delivered to Jesus who in turn has given it to the church. If we will just take our place within our given authority, the LORD will ensure that whatever the devil may have stolen shall be released to us when we ask Him. The Lord is going to show your enemy that He is the owner of all things.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God gives you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven. You become an authority on earth will divine ability to control situations. Matthew 16:13-19 …And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Owned by The Lord: ‘But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine’ (Isaiah 43:1). We are God’s property. See yourself as owned by the Lord. God says we are close to Him enough to be the apple of His eyes. We are dear to the Lord who is our owner. ‘For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye’ (Zachariah 2:8). Just as your eyes will always blink to protect the pupil of the eye every time an object moves in the direction of the eye, so does the

Lord move in your defense every time the enemy tries to attack you. You are not your own; God owns you. Your direction, protection and provision as long as you are on this earth are therefore guaranteed.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Ask appropriately: Receiving is not a big challenge if we know how to ask properly. ‘Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts’ (James 4:3). The appropriate time to ask is the time of the later rain. ‘Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain…’ (Zachariah 10:1). What this implies is that you need to understand the mind of God so that asking is not out of place. You need to know what is yours if asking will be met with receiving. Remember the Lord (owner) wants to intervene and release to us what the Son has already made available to us.

But we must first ask in faith without wavering according to James 1:6.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). The Holy Spirit is our intercessor. He helps us to pray according to the will of the Father.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Romans 8:15- For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

[For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power… (2Timothy 1:7). Have no room in your life for that which the Lord has not given you].

SECTION 8- Intercession When you are involved in intercession, your prosperity will surely break forth as the morning light. See Isaiah 58:6, 8 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? …Then shall thy light break forth as the morning. Do you seek prosperity that cannot be hindered? Then get involved in intercession.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning The bible tells us in Proverbs 11:30 that he that winneth souls is wise. In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins shared in Matthew 25, the foolish virgins were rejected but the wise ones were accepted into the banquet of the Groom. You can prove to be a wise bride by getting

involved today in soul winning. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Prosperity Psalm 16:6- The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Having accepted Christ as Lord and Master of your life, the light of God has been released upon your life, making your life a magnetic field that attracts good things and repels evil. The lines are fallen unto you in pleasant places. Only the good things of life are permitted to come your way. You are heir to all the riches of the Father in glory. What heritage can be more than this? If you fully understand and believe this assurance of the Father, you will never again be in lack for your Father is the owner of all things and as His heir, you have access to all things.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to decree abundant health and prosperity in your life. You have no business with sickness, poverty or lack. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.             

DECEMBER 13 SERVANTS OF GOD Text: Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: God has not promised us a life free from challenges. However, we must wake up to the truth that the presence of the Lord makes all the difference in our every travail. In His presence the challenges of life fade away. The whole essence of this meditation is to encrypt this truth in our minds. Learn the practice of God’s presence everyday and live a life of perpetual victory.

(Isaiah 43:1-5; Colossians 3:1; John 16:33).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage, Hebrews 2:14-15. The word became flesh so He could experience death. Having died therefore, the power of death has been taken away from the devil. The devil no longer has the power to kill a child of God for we have been given Zoe- the abundant life that is found only in Christ Jesus. Christ’s victory over death is total. You must no longer pay attention to the roaring of the devil for he has lost his ability to kill you or cause you pain.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it



My Master: In today’s meditation the angel showed very clearly that we are servants of the Lord’s purpose. Any time mention is made of us being servants of the Lord, it infers that God is our master. Every master responds to the needs of his servants. In 2Kings 6:1-7, 15-17, we see how Elisha responded to the calls of his servants. On one occasion, a borrowed axe head fell into the river and one of the sons of the prophet cried to him for help. Elisha responded as master and helped to miraculously retrieve the lost axe head. On the other occasion, his servant brought a report to him that they had been surrounded by a great host of the Syrian army. Elisha calmed the fears of his servant by praying God to open his eyes to see the army of heaven that was all around them. Just as Elisha responded as master to the needs of the sons of the prophet, so will the Lord respond to us as long as we submit to Him as Master. In Mark 4:35-39, Jesus responded as Master when his disciples were in distress. As they travelled by sea, there arose a great storm of wind that threatened to capsize their boat. The disciples woke their Master up from His sleep and He calmed the storm. In Matthew 14:22-33, Peter was able to walk on the sea because the Master beckoned on him to come meet Him. God is not just our Father alone, He is also our Master. As Master, He has taken over responsibility of our lives and will continually ensure that He responds to us every time we call upon Him for help.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you receive divine ability to put in chains all powers and situations that war against the children of God. Matthew 16:13-19 …and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Servant of God: The angel said to John on the Island of Patmos. ‘I am thy fellow servant..’ and of a truth we are fellow servants aided by the angels of God because we are His servants. ‘A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name...’(Malachi 1:6). God is not only our Father, but He is our Master and we must serve him in reverential awe and fear. The Apostles referred to themselves as servants of God: James called himself a servant of God in James 1:1. Peter also called himself a servant of God in 2Peter 1:1. These were men who walked with Jesus and are Apostles of the New Testament, yet they had the heart of servants in relating with the Father. Even Jesus had the heart of a servant in relating with His Father, see Philippians 2:5-11: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the

glory of God the Father. The secret of the success Jesus enjoyed in ministry was in His total submission to the will of the Father. The Apostles also succeeded in ministry because they served God with all their hearts; letting go every personal pursuit and desire and making the Kingdom business their priority. Although we have been adopted into sonship, we will only be able to manifest the glory of God to the fullest if we serve Him as servants who are willing to submit our will to His own.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Worship God- not man, not angels: Colossians 2:18 says, ‘ Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,’ John 4:23-24 and Psalm 95:6 show us that God must be worshipped and not any other. ‘But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him

in spirit and in truth.’

‘O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker’ (Psalm 95:6).

Only the Most High God deserves our worship; worshipping any other is idolatry and is sin against God. We must never allow anything take the place of God in our lives. God must always have first place in our lives. Our will must be lost in His will. We must see Him always as the Lord and Master of our lives and realize that without Him we are nothing. Our lips must be filled with His praise every minute of the day and our hearts must not stray from Him. When you worship God always from a sincere heart, His glory will always be seen in your life.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit is the Minister of information. He brings God’s word to us ensuring that we are never in the dark as to what the Father expects of us.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Isaiah 54:4- Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

[Revelation 21:8- But the fearful… shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. A man that lives in fear will not make heaven] SECTION 8- Intercession Intercessors will always enjoy divine health. See Isaiah 58:6, 8 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? …and thine health shall spring forth speedily. As an

intercessor, you will not have to pray to stay healthy; your faithfulness in the task of intercession guarantees your abundant health.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you, John 15:16. We are saved to save others. Those who are committed to soul winning and to nurturing of saved souls to maturity will get rewarded with all the good desires of their heart. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

3. What have you discovered about YOURSELF today?

4. What RESPONSIBILITY have you discovered today?

Meditate on these four points throughout today to gain light for your profiting (…that thy profiting may appear unto all, 1Timothy 4:15).

TESTIMONY I ATE COCKROACHES IN MY DREAM I have a very busy schedule in the office which makes it impossible for me to leave for lunch when I most need it. It so happened that a particular staff of mine, with whom my spirit was at ease and who I do send to get me lunch, when I am unable to fetch it myself was away on leave and I decided to send another staff to get me lunch. Few days later, I had a dream and in that dream I was offered a plate of cockroaches. I knew that it was wrong to eat cockroaches, but I reluctantly ate. Not too long after this, I woke up one morning only to discover that the tip of my tongue had strange rashes on it. Gradually, the sweet and sour taste region at the tip of my tongue lost its tasting ability. All food became bitter, with no exception. That was not all. The tip of my tongue gradually began to stiffen. I began to pray intensively, but I did not experience any relief. I then knew there was trouble. I came to see my loving Pastor, Daddy Osaghae, who calmed me down and told me that it was spiritual poisoning and that he would administer the Holy Communion and that would be the end of it. On the day appointed, I went to see my wonderful Pastor in his office. He brought out the Holy Communion from his refrigerator and gave thanks to God. he offered me the body of Christ and I placed it right on the tip of my tongue where the strange rashes had appeared and suddenly, I noticed that as soon as the body of Christ touched the rashes, there was a burning sensation on that portion of my tongue.

Whilst this was on, he offered me the blood of Jesus. I drank. As soon as I drank it, the sweetness of the communion arrested the bitterness in my tongue and restored the sweetness that I had not felt for over 14 days. The miracle was instant! The power in Holy Communion is real and truly effective. Help me celebrate this faithful God and his faithful servant, Pastor Samuel Osaghae.

DECEMBER 14 MYSTERIOUS LOVE Text: 1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Psalm 9:17 says ‘the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God’.

Forgetting God or living without the consciousness of God is an express way to hell or the grave. It simply means that the remedy for this is living in the consciousness of God- it delivers from destruction. Learn the practice of God’s presence in everything you do.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Ephesians 1:21-22. All things, including the devil and his kingdom, have been placed under the feet of Jesus. Since we reign in majesty with Christ Jesus, the devil is also under our feet. As long as you submit to the headship of Christ over your life, the enemy has no power to harm you. He is defeated.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that has an unexplainable and unconditional love for us: The God we are talking about is not just any type of God but the God who is love Himself. He does not just bear the name, but demonstrates it in His character. 1 John 4:8, 16 tell us that God is love. His love is unexplainable- in that you cannot just explain why He loves the way He does. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This type of love is supreme. His love is unconditional. Romans 8:32 says ‘He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?’ and Romans 5:8 says ‘But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’ We can see from these two scripture that His love is indeed unconditional. When we consider that there is nothing we can do to merit

the goodness of God, it humbles our hearts to follow after Him. Our giving can never be too great. Our service can never be enough to merit it. Egypt was the crucible God used to show Israel how much He loved her. The Father God went as far as destroying first born of man and animals in Egypt in order to showcase His great love for His people. For what reasons? God did it in honour of His covenant of many years which He made with the man called Abraham. Now what did Abraham do to merit so great love? Nothing! It was pure a matter of God’s divine grace. In Exodus 12:29, we have the summary of how far reaching God’s love for His people is: ‘And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.’ Wonder what God will do to evil personalities that have sworn to never give you peace? This love of God that is unexplainable and unconditional was expressed to the extent that God killed all the first born in Egypt. However He did not stop there, for while Egypt was mourning the people of God were liberated and rejoicing. All of this demonstration of love was done for God’s name sake. He did it to prove that He is God all by Himself and so that the earth would fear Him. Luke 23 shows us that Jesus came to die for us, and even when they spoke against Him, spat on Him, naked and disgraced Him, put Him among criminals, betrayed by a disciple (Judas Iscariot), denied by another disciple (Peter), He still loved us to die for us in order to redeem us. ‘He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?’ (Romans 8:32). If in God’s love for us He sacrificed His Son for us, it so that He can bless us beyond measure in His life. There is nothing He cannot give and do for us today as we put our confidence in Him. God of Great love we worship you.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Those who know God shall have their status maintained. Nebuchadnezzar was reduced into an animal because he did not have knowledge of the personality of God. Daniel 4:32-37- And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Loved by the Almighty God, the most High, the ever-present God, the all sufficient God: The Bible says in Isaiah 43:3-4, that he gave up ‘...Egypt and Ethiopia....’ for our sake because we are precious and loved by Him. You see, God can go to any length for His children; the ones He loves. Being loved of God makes us partakers of His divine estate. Can you imagine how mighty your ability now is because the all-powerful God is now your lover? Just imagine how highly positioned in life we are because we are loved by the Most High. No wonder he raised us together with Christ and made us sit together with Him far above all principalities and power according to Ephesians 2:4-6. Indeed ‘…what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not’ (1John 3:1).

He indeed is worthy of my praise.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  You need to know the extent and implication of God’s love for you: This is one factor that can make you have the fullness of Christ. This is the focus of Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesians 3:18-19 which states: ‘(I pray that you) ...May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. ’ You are to believe the love that God has for you. For except you believe, you cannot be established according to Isaiah 7:9. The first epistle of saint John states: ‘Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.’1John 3:1). The love of God has separated you from the world and all its evils and has given you an inheritance with the Father. You have all things and can do all things because you are now a joint heir with Christ Jesus. Your security and your provision is guaranteed because your heavenly Father is the owner of the world. If you can know, believe and act in the knowledge of this great love, your experiences in life will always be joyous.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all… But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will (1Corinthians 12:4-11). The Holy Spirit is the distributor and the administrator of the gifts of God. Consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit will not only qualify you for spiritual gifts, but will also ensure that your gift is active.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Genesis 28:15- And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

[By living in faith, you resist the message of the devil and his power and presence in your life is disabled].

SECTION 8- Intercession As an intercessor, the testimony of your goodness will appear before God and man. God’s grace will keep you from falling. See Isaiah 58:6, 8 – Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? …and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples, John 15:8. The criteria for being called a disciple of Christ is soul winning. If you are not busy about soul winning, then you have no claim to discipleship of Christ. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

3. What have you discovered about YOURSELF today?

4. What RESPONSIBILITY have you discovered today?

Meditate on these four points throughout today to gain light for your profiting (…that thy profiting may appear unto all, 1Timothy 4:15).

DECEMBER 15 SUBMITTING TO RULE Text: Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: You can actually live in the consciousness of God’s presence even in the turbulence of day to day business. Always use your mind to picture yourself in His presence and shut out the rest of the world around; enter your closet with the Lord. Learn to speak to God as if you can see Him around you because He is with you. This is the place of real fulfillment and a life of dominion (John 14:17).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil …Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof, Revelation 5:5. The devil was defeated by the crucifixion of Jesus. The work of Christ did not deal with symptom, it dealt with the power behind the symptom. It’s like taking away the power of fire. When fire loses its ability to burn, then it could as well be used as decoration. In the burning bush, the fire was burning, but the bush was not burnt. This was because the destructive ability of the fire had been taken away by God. Another illustration we may use here is that of poison that has passed its expiry date. It may still have its original colour and texture, but its destructive ability is lost. Most of the evil we suffer as children of God happens because we do not believe in the finished works of Christ.

The devil has lost his ability to hurt believers. If you can meditate on this revelation, you will discover that you will never again suffer defeat in your life.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God to whom all shall give account: Everything we have has been given to us in trust. Someday- soon, we shall be required to give account of our stewardship to God.

Our body, time, talent, wealth and relationships are all areas we must someday account for. Accounting simply brings to mind the fact that we have been given all we have in our custody for proper administration. It means we are responsible to the one who has assigned these blessings to us. There is no one without a talent for which account must be given. ‘For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad’ (2Corinthians 5:10). You see, those in leadership positions become effective when those they are leading learn to submit to them willingly. We are to obey them that have rule over us- submitting ourselves to their leadership (Hebrews 13:17). There is a crucial contest for the soul of man and our Pastors and those appointed to have rule over us are charged with the responsibility of watching over our souls because of the account they must give in that regards. Our soul is the driver seat of our lives and leaders who are well trained know how to input, with wisdom, life changing words and principles into our souls. Their responsibility spans the frame work of ensuring that the success of the individual is guaranteed. This is a very important role. Whenever the process is scuttled, the leader does his work without joy and this does not bring glory to God. Whenever we make leadership difficult by our conduct, we are frustrating the grace of God towards us. The leader has an account to give on how well he was able to watch over the souls of those being led. God is not only rewarding the leader who leads well in this regards, but He will also reward the led who makes the leader do his job with joy. When Miriam the sister of Moses began to question Moses’ authority; she thought she was legitimately doing so, but God’s judgment fell on her and she became leprous.

When Joshua made leadership a delight for Moses, God rewarded him with promotion to leadership beyond his wildest dreams. Let us remember that God’s judgment begins today as we will learn from Psalm 75:7 ‘But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.’ 2Corinthians 5:10: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad”. Jehovah God is bigger than the biggest and it is Him we shall all give account to someday. According to Mathew 25:15-28, talents were given out and at the end of the day; the servants had to give account to the master. So also it will be on the last day, we shall give account to God of everything we have done on earth, including every idle word we may have spoken (Matthew 12:36).

When you stand before the GOD to whom we shall give account, will He say welcome thou good and faithful servant?

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you discover the personality of God, your life will experience restoration. When Nebuchadnezzar realized the personality of God, he was restored. Daniel 4:32-37- …And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? At the same time my reason returned unto me…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Created to rule: When you say something was created to have rule, it means it was made or designed to perform or act in a way of practical influence. According to Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion(rule) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” 28 “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion(rule) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. Adam was created to rule, and as long as he was in obedience to God, all things that God had made submitted to his rule. He was above all, including all the wild beasts that now terrorize man. Gods original purpose is for us to rule. In Revelation 5:10, we read that we are priests and kings and this implies ruler ship. As a child of God, you have dominion over all of God’s creation. your words are the words of royalty and where the word of a king is, there is power (Ecclesiastes 8:4). God designed you to rule, are you functioning as designed?

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Obey and submit yourselves to those who have the rule over you. In the things and working of God there is order in leadership: When God was creating, he created animals, and then man, and choose man to be the head. When he created woman, he also made her the helper of the man to be under the man’s leadership. Knowing full well that those placed to rule over us are placed by God, it is our responsibility to obey them because they are the physical authorities we have and see. Bible says if you hate the brother you see, how can you say you love God that you cannot see.  Those of us in authority are to rule with joy and not with grief.  We should always work, knowing that we shall give account to God for every person over whom we rule.  We are to watch over the souls of those we have converted in travail until Christ be formed in them Galatians 4:19. We are to watch over the people under us for protection from the evil one. We are watch over them for direction and godly counsel.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2Corinthians 3:18). The Holy Spirit changes us into the image of Christ the Son of God. The more you dwell in fellowship with Him, the more you are turned into the image of Christ.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Acts 18:10- For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

[Judges 6:6- And Israel was greatly impoverished… Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. Fear will make you impoverished].

SECTION 8- Intercession Those that are involved in intercession enjoy divine protection. God’s glory will daily go before and behind them, to keep them safe from all evil just like the pillar of cloud and fire acted as a wall of protection for the children of Israel in the wilderness. See Isaiah 58:6, 8 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? …the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward (thy rear guard).

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit, John 15:2. If you are not committed to soul winning, you will soon be cut off from Christ; but those that are consistent in soul winning will be pruned by God so they can bear more fruits. Pruning in this case means that all factors and situations (sickness, poverty, lack, etc) that can hinder or slow down your success rate in evangelism will be taken away by God. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY A BETTER JOB SECURED I want you to help me thank God Almighty for He has indeed proven His faithfulness and awesomeness in my life. Before now, I have been trying to get a new job and as such submitted lots of applications at various companies without any meaningful result. Sometime last year, 24th of October precisely, Papa made an alter call of ten thousand naira (N10,000). He made a pronouncement that whoever redeemed his/her vow between that day and the following Wednesday would experience an unprecedented blessing between then and three months time.

Although I was not having much on me, I queued into it and was able to redeem the pledge on Wednesday evening, being the deadline. God proved the words of his servant in my life just a few minutes after my sacrificial offering. As I was on my way home, before I got to Agho junction, I received a text message inviting me for a job interview in a Pharmaceutical company in Lagos on the 29th of October. In the course of the interview, God Almighty proved Himself by using one of the interviewers to speak on my behalf. Now I am fully employed with very good incentives. Join me praise our God, He is faithful.

Bro. Agbonwaneten Orobosa Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013

@ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.

Time: 6.15 – 7.30am daily A prophetic, prayer programme aimed at activating heaven for quick delivery of your expectation for the year 2013. There will be ministration to the sick on Saturday 5th and Saturday 12th. Come and settle your prompt satisfaction in the New Year.

DECEMBER 16 THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD Text: 2Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible (Hebrews 11:27). Science has shown us without reasonable doubts that you can call someone through cell phones even though there are no visible connections, and in practice this has worked for all to see. You may not see God physically, but you can communicate with Him and experience His power if you can establish His presence with your mind. Moses’ boldness was in the fact that he knew that the invisible God was always with him.

If you can also dwell in the consciousness of the invisible God with you, fear will be banished from your life.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power, Colossians 2:10.

Every organism or organization needs a head to survive. Jesus is the head of all principalities.

The ability of the serpent was destroyed when its head was bruised. Jesus is now head, the devil has lost his headship. Being the head of all principality and power, no one can hurt you without His permission. Having aligned yourself with Christ, you are now untouchable to the kingdom of darkness. Anyone that tries to touch you with evil intent will get himself destroyed because the Head of all principality and power is on your side and is committed to your fulfillment in every aspect of your life.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God who made Jesus Sin for us to be made righteous: Jesus knew no sin because he was born of a clean stock. He was without blemish until God the father decided to

put upon Him the sins of the whole world so we can be made righteous. In the past, lambs had to bear the sins of man whenever man wanted to reconcile with God. However, this method of cleansing had limitations most especially as the blood of the lamb could not offer a permanent solution to the sin problem. God sought a once and for all sacrifice and He offered the best He had so He could have us to Himself forever.

What manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, taking away our sins and making us justified- just as if we never committed sin. That is awesome! This God that gave His best for you, will He not also with Him give you every good thing? If He did not spare His dear son, but gave Him up for our sanctification, then there is no limit to what we can expect from Him. As you begin to relate with Him from this day as a loving Father who is not only able, but is also willing to give you every good thing you desire, you will be lifted to heights you never imagined.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you discover the personality of God, you will experience glory. Nebuchadnezzar experienced glory when he realized the personality of God. Daniel 4:32-37- … At the same time my reason returned unto me and for the glory of my kingdom…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Made the righteousness of God: When Jesus came to earth to die, divine substitution took place: He took our place and we took His. We are justified through the blood of Christ and sanctified through His Spirit. Jesus that was so pure and holy was made sin on our account so that God could impute divine righteousness on us. When God sees you, He no longer sees sin in you, but sees a person that has never committed sin. A pure and holy child who has been washed clean from every stain, smell, and guilt of his past ways.

Now you can come boldly into His throne room to have fellowship with Him without any feeling of unworthiness because you have a changed status. You are no longer a sinner, but a righteous child of the Most High who has been granted full access into the beauties of heaven and into the presence of the most Holy God. SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Live In Him: Your righteousness is only in Jesus. By operational analysis of the phrase “in Him”, we see a suggestion that it is only as you live meditatively in the consciousness of His overshadowing covering over you that you are able to live a righteous life. You enjoy the fullness of Him when you make Him your tabernacle (Psalms 91:9-13).

John 14:20 paints a picture of you on the inside, while Jesus is on the outside expressing His righteousness on your behalf. So, you must always live in an environment of the consciousness of His presence. In Him- this is the way to act your righteous status. Only in His presence, is the strength and influence of sin invalid. This is the reason for the holiness atmosphere in heaven. The consciousness of His presence destroys the thought of sin. For the light of His presence does not give room for the manifestation of any act

of darkness. Dwell in Him, consistently make Him the environment of your dwelling; only then will you find the strength to live right.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost (Jude 20). The Holy Spirit builds our faith. The more we fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the stronger our faith gets.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

2Chronicles 20:17- Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

[The devil is but a roaring lion (1Peter 5:8). A lion roars to instill fear in a cluster of sheep to dismember the gathered sheep so it can have access to one. Any sheep that breaks away out of fear become a prey. Fear makes you a prey to the enemy].

SECTION 8- Intercession When you pray always for others, your voice becomes recognized in heaven. Anytime you call upon the name of the Lord, there will be prompt response. Isaiah 58:6, 9 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am‌ Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work, John 4:34. Jesus cared more for souls than He cared for food. We must develop a like passion for souls. We must not let any day pass without our telling someone about the love of God. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Healing (Health) Romans 8:11- But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

The Spirit of God is a quickening Spirit and has the ability to vitalize. The Spirit of God in you vitalizes your mortal body, making it impregnable to diseases, weakness, infections and all other issues that cause sickness. You cannot be afflicted. Your body cannot be broken. God’s Spirit in you has made it impossible for you to bow to sickness. It does not matter the power credited to any disease or infirmity, it is under your feet. Good health is your portion, both now and forever.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to decree abundant health and prosperity in your life. You have no business with sickness, poverty or lack. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.         

Thank God for His assurance of divine health at all time Appreciate Him for the many times He has recued you from the power and hold of sickness and infirmity Thank God for His Spirit in you that has made your body impregnable to diseases and afflictions Take authority against every sickness and symptom of disease in your life.

Dedicate every organ of your body to God e.g. your heart, your kidneys, your liver, your eyes, your brain, etc.

Command every organ of your body to function at maximum productivity Decree abundant health for yourself and every member of your family Decree that your organs and systems will not break down or pack up Decree long life for yourself and every member of your family.

DECEMBER 17 ROYALTY Text: Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Learning the practice of God’s presence brought Daniel to the seat of prominence in Babylon- a completely foreign land. Overwhelmed by the Lord’s fear and driven by reverence for the Lord, this young Hebrew and his friends dared to lay down their lives for their God- our God! But before hell would sing her praise, the Lord God Almighty showed forth His splendour and glory. You too can make heaven proud today. The secret of such exploits is in the knowledge that you are never alone; the Most High God is always with you. If you dwell daily in this consciousness, you will be strong and will do exploits (Daniel 3:16-18; 6:18-24; 11:32).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Satan was defeated many years ago when Christ offered Himself as full and final payment for the sins of mankind. And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2:15). The defeat was not secret. The demons are aware that their master was defeated. The Roman soldiers would usually parade their defeated enemy through the streets of the town so the people could see for themselves that their king has been defeated. This is an open show. The devil is defeated and disgraced. He is now a mere noise; He has no power over God’s children. He has lost everything he had. He can no longer oppress you unless you let him. The more of this reality we know, the more we can insist on our victory.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The Maker: In Genesis 1:26, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. Man was fearfully and wonderfully made by God to have dominion over all His creation. He said to Moses in Exodus 7:1- “I have made thee a god to Pharaoh”. In 2Corinthians 5:21, we see that He made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. In Mark 1:17, Jesus called out to Simon and Andrew: “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men”. He is the God that makes us the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). Clay would remain dirt until it is handled by a potter. When a potter that knows his onions handles clay, he soon produces a very beautiful and useful vessel from it. God is the potter that shapes our lives to fit His purpose for us. In the hand of God, no man is useless. No man is born into the earth without a purpose; God has a specific assignment for every one of His creation. He completed you before you were born. He is not thinking of what to make you; His purpose informed your creation. And so He packaged you with all that you will ever require for the fulfillment of His agenda. As long as you remain in His hands, He will continue to mould you into the best you can be. He said in Jeremiah 18:6, “Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand”. The God that formed you has the master plan of your life; there is a specific purpose for your

existence. You are not counted a success according to God’s standard unless you fulfill His purpose for your life. You have been made by God for a unique purpose; discover it and become it.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you discover the personality of God, your life receives brightness. You will no longer operate in darkness. Daniel 4:32-37- …mine honour and brightness returned unto me…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Made a King and Priest: In most African Cultures, once the King makers crown the heir apparent as king, he remains king for life with absolute powers. No one questions his authority as he has a right to everything in desires as long as it exists within the boundaries of his kingdom. The maker has made us Kings and Priests unto Himself. The implication of this is that we are not ordinary but of royal blood with all the dignity pomp and style associated with rulership. We were created for dominion and have got the authority of Kingship in our mouth; for where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Ecclesiastes 8:4. Having been made a King by the Most High, no one can question your authority because the Lord Himself, the creator and owner of the world is the one that made you royal. You answer only to Him and as long as you do His will and fulfill His mandate for your life; your hold to rulership and your authority as King over all situations and circumstances is preserved. Having discovered your status as king, take advantage of the powers at your disposal today and begin to live the royal life that the Lord God has graciously made available to you.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Reign, rule, enforce compliance, have dominion: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, Genesis 1:26, 28. At creation, God gave man all authority to dominate and subdue the earth and all that is in it. Sadly, years after this authority was bestowed on man, man is yet to manifest. The bible says in Romans 8:19- For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. The time has come when man must take his rightful place in royalty and reign on earth. Kings rule by decrees and God’s word tells us that we shall decree a thing and it shall be established (Job 22:28). Begin to mould the world around you with decrees from your mouth.

Rather than complain about things around you, speak forth what you want to see.

Realize that you have dominion over every one of God’s creation. Operate in this authority that you have and never again allow enemies oppress you. You are made to rule; don’t put yourself down.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23). The Holy Spirit is the producer of the fruit (character) of God. No one can manifest the character of God without a consistent walk with the Holy Spirit.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Judges 6:23- And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

[Judges 6:7- …the children of Israel cried… Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. Crying and tears will not depart from the house of a man who lives in fear].

SECTION 8- Intercession As an intercessor, you enjoy divine guidance. God will always direct your path and keep you from falling into the traps of the enemy. Isaiah 58:6, 11 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? And the LORD shall guide thee continually…

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:15 & 20. When you are consistent in soul winning, you will enjoy God’s presence consistently. As you consistently share the Gospel (Goodnews of Jesus), miracles will be easily available as confirmation to the words you speak. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF TERRIBLE PAINS IN THE LEG My name is Brother Joseph Agbondughen, I live in Iguobazuwa. For over two weeks I suffered from severe pains in both of my legs. The pains began one morning when I woke up. I had not experienced any pains in my leg the previous night, but woke in the morning with terrible pains in my legs. It was very difficult for me to rise from bed that morning and moving from my bedroom was a very difficult task. I went to the hospital and was given drugs, but the pains persisted and even began to intensify. The pain was always very severe especially in the mornings when I wake up. I came to Benin to seek further medical attention. While in Benin, I lodged with my sister who is a member of Believers Ministries. She invited me to attend a programme in her church, assuring me that God would heal me during the programme. I attended the programme which was tagged early Satisfaction. That day, I watched Pastor Osaghae ministering to a woman with leg pain. Now while he was ministering to that woman who was not even sitting close to me, something dramatic began to happen in my own legs. I was standing while this was going on and suddenly felt the weight in my legs disappear and my legs become light. The pains were taken away without Pastor even coming to me to pray for me. I left church that day without the pains that had plagued me for over two weeks. The pains are gone and will never return. I am healed to the glory of God. Bro. Joseph Agbondughen

DECEMBER 18 FRIEND OF GOD Text: John 15:13-14.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2Corinthians 3:18). Our lives will change for the better when we consider the importance of spending time with the figure of our aspiration. You eventually resemble the one you spend time with. We need to really spend time meditating in the word and fellowshipping with the Lord if we must grow into Him. SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:17-18. The devil has been defeated by our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. But the question is: Do you believe?

Belief is not an idea that you possess, but it is an idea that possesses you. When you believe, you act without considering contradiction. The defeat of the devil gave us supernatural power for exploits. Jesus has completely defeated the devil and so His name has the power to rubbish all the works of the devil. If you believe in Him and operate fearlessly with His name, you will have victory in all that you do.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it



The God who by the magnitude of his love laid down His life for us: Genuine love is measured, not by words, but by actions. Love is seen in giving more than in receiving.

The Lord God showed the greatest example of genuine love when He offered His son as sacrifice for the redemption of sinful man. What makes this sacrifice all the more amazing is the fact that man had, of his own will, turned his back on God and so was not in any way deserving of the love that the Father showed; yet the Father went ahead to offer His son as sacrifice for reconciliation. The sacrifice of Jesus was born out of deep love for mankind: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, John 3:16. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Romans 5:8. God cares about every single one of His children and it is not His will that any one of them should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of His dear son and receive His free offer of salvation. This God, whose name is love, is your Father. If He could offer the life of His dear son just to win you to His side, what will He not do for you now that you are in His fold? He that offered His dear son for the redemption of man has also with Him given us all things that pertain to life. All that we ever needed has been made available to us by our dear loving Father, who is the maker and owner of the world and all that is in it. As you relate with God as a loving Father, you will see more of His love and grace revealed in every aspect of your life.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, all your helpers that abandoned you, will search for you to do you good. Daniel 4:32-37- …and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  The friend of God: The criterion for being a friend of God is making His law our standard in running our lives. As many that live by the leading of the Father are His friends indeed and will enjoy the benefits of friendship with the Father. Imagine being a dear friend of a wealthy man. You will automatically be lifted from poverty to affluence because the rich man’s wealth will certainly rub off on you. You will not only be influenced by him financially, your social status, your ego, and in fact every aspect of your life will be positively affected. This is because the rich man will lift you up to his level so that it will be easy for you to relate with him and it will not be embarrassing for him to be seen with you in public. If a wealthy man can do this much for a friend, how much more the God that is the owner of all things. Friendship with Him guarantees your security, your provision, your direction, your success in every endeavour, and lots more. Friendship with him takes away the need for ‘long leg’ or human connection before good things can come your way. As a dear friend, He will go ahead of you at all times to make your path straight. Since the heart of a king is in his hands and he turneth it whithersoever he will, He will ensure that every time decisions that affect you are made, they are made in your favour. It’s a great privilege being a friend of the Most High God, the benefits are indeed endless.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Do whatever the Lord commands you to do: One way to prove your Love and friendship of God is by obeying His every instruction without questioning: …Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you, John 15:14. If ye love me, keep my commandments, John 14:15. There is no season or condition to a friend’s love; a friend loves at all times. You are not to choose some instructions that are convenient and discard the unfavourable ones; God expects you to obey Him even when it is not convenient or favourable to do so. This is the true proof of friendship. James 2:23-24 shows us how Abraham was justified by works, and not by faith alone: Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Taking God by His word and obeying His every instruction without first considering yourself is what qualifies you to be called a friend of God. Proverbs 18:24 says A man that hath a friend, must show himself friendly. If God is your friend, then it places a demand on you to have an intimate friendship with Him. SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself… (1Corinthians 14:4). To edify means to add value, to increase, to improve. The Holy Spirit improves the capacity of the believer.

The more you relate with the Holy Spirit, the more of a spiritual giant you become.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Joshua 1:9- Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest [Note that fear attracts evil. It limits and hinders the performance of God. This is why God insists several times in the bible that you must not fear].

SECTION 8- Intercession When you are faithful in intercession, the evil that befalls others will not come near thee. In the midst of lack, you will enjoy divine provision. Isaiah 58:6, 11 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? …and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance, Luke 15:7. Heaven celebrates it whenever you bring in a soul into God’s Kingdom. If heaven has joy over your activity, why then

will you not have joy? Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

DECEMBER 19 WINNER MAN Text: 2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee, Isaiah 43:2. It is certain that all believers must pass through trials. But when we do, our only security is in the consciousness of God’s presence. The practice of God’s consciousness is an insulator. Do not focus on the problem, focus on the ever abiding presence of God. SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil …behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it… Revelation 3:8. When Jesus defeated the devil, He opened widely all the doors that the devil had shut against mankind. Now, all who believe in the name of Jesus and accept Him as Lord and Master of their lives can n o longer be limited. The door of your blessing is open, hallelujah! The believer, therefore, does not have to breakthrough, but can walk through the door for it is opened already.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that always causeth us to triumph in Christ: To triumph implies not only victory, but an open manifestation of it. When Christ defeated the devil, He made an open manifestation of it. This implies total victory. The love of God for mankind led to the sacrifice of His dear son for the sin of man so as to redeem man from the power of sin and eternal condemnation and give him a chance at eternal life. When man accepted God’s free offer of salvation, the foe of Christ became the servant of Christ. The devil lost us when we turned over to God, and he has no option but to watch in dejection as we are led in triumph by God. This is the most glorious lot that can befall any. God leads us in triumph, not merely as people that have been triumphed over, but also as people triumphing in and through Christ, over devils, idols, superstition, ignorance, and all manner of vice. Christ has given us the victory over all situations; the bible tells us in Romans 8:37 that we are more than conquerors. The implication of this is that Christ Jesus has fought and won all our battles on our behalf. We have no more battles to fight but are to live a triumphant life daily, manifesting the victory won for us by Christ Jesus and shaming the devil in every aspect of our lives. No matter what confronts a child of God, whether poverty, sickness, persecution, or distress, it is for a season, for God

always causeth His children to triumph over all situations of life. Our victory is in Christ Jesus; our triumph is orchestrated by the Most High. Without Him on our side, we will have no victory to celebrate.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you will become established. To be established means that you can no longer be shaken from your blessing. Daniel 4:32-37- …and I was established in my kingdom…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  I am always triumphant in Christ: This suggests two things:  Our triumph is sure whenever we exercise our authority with boldness for ourselves or while ministering to others as it relates with all the issues for which Christ paid the price. For example, when you speak health upon a sick person, the sickness has no alternative but to disappear.  We are sure of triumph whenever we operate in Christ, in the consciousness of His presence. We are to have a mind that sees Christ as the climate or environment within which we are exercising our authority over any issue. This means making him your habitation, see Psalms 91.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Always be thankful to God for ensuring your constant and consistent triumph. You must also prove to the world how much you know Him in the area for which you are trying to exercise authority. For instance, as you trust God enough to minister with boldness to the sick, God also will always be on ground to prove to people that you know Him correctly as the healer.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? (Job 14:7-10).

The Holy Spirit is the hope of the hopeless. Just as a cut down tree will sprout again if it has contact with water, so a child of God will receive fresh strength if he stays connected to the Holy Spirit. Man only dies when He loses touch with the Holy Ghost (when he gives up the ghost). As long as man is in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, there is hope of a better future and a happy ending.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

2Chronicles 32:7- Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: [Judges 6:4- And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth… Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. The increase of your life is destroyed when you have fear].

SECTION 8- Intercession As an intercessor, God’s anointing will be so strong in your life that you will have the ability to repair whatever has been damaged by the devil. No matter how hopeless a situation is, you will have ability to turn it around for good. Isaiah 58:6, 12 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth, Luke 15:10. Those that are consistent in soul winning will enjoy angelic assistance. As you continue in soul winning, all the things you used to struggle to get done all by yourself will be taken care of by God’s ministering angels. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Healing (Health) Romans 8:11- But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

The Spirit of God is a quickening Spirit and has the ability to vitalize. The Spirit of God in you vitalizes your mortal body, making it impregnable to diseases, weakness, infections and all other issues that cause sickness. You cannot be afflicted. Your body cannot be broken. God’s Spirit in you has made it impossible for you to bow to sickness. It does not matter the power credited to any disease or infirmity, it is under your feet. Good health is your portion, both now and forever.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to decree abundant health and prosperity in your life. You have no business with sickness, poverty or lack. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.         

TESTIMONY FAILED KIDNEYS RESTORED BY THE POWER OF GOD I suffered kidney failure in December 2010. I began to go for dialysis and blood cleansing every two weeks. I could not urinate. I also suffered from cough and chest pain and I kept losing strength. My breathing was abnormal and I lost weight. My pastor, who is a son to Pastor Osaghae, directed us to see Pastor Osaghae for prayers. We attended the Early Satisfaction programme and waited to see Pastor Osaghae after the service. I could not even climb the stairs to his office without support. I even collapsed when I finally got to the office and was given a bottle of Malt to drink to regain strength. The man of God walked up to me and asked what the matter was. I didn’t even have strength to talk. My wife who was with me spoke on my behalf. Pastor Osaghae led me to Christ and then ministered healing to me. He rubbed his hands over my body and asked me to stand up that I was healed. Immediately my strength was restored, I stood up and started walking about. I even climbed down the stairs myself and I can now do what I couldn’t do before. Praise God my health is restored.

DECEMBER 20 FEAR YE NOT Text: Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High (in the constant consciousness of His presence) shall abide under His shadow (Psalm 91:1). Dwelling daily in the consciousness of God’s presence is the only guarantee for safety in the midst of the present evil in the world.

Those that daily create a consciousness of the Father with their mind will be shielded from the calamities that will certainly befall the world in this endtime.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, Matthew 18:18. The devil who used to be the strong man, has been bound. Since he has been bound, all that he held bound has been released. The devil no longer has the power to hold the believer or the believer’s blessing bound. Jesus has bound the devil and set the blessings of the believer free. Whatever blessing it is that you seek from the Lord, just call it forth and see it materialize. Whatever evil you experience, speak forth its bondage and see it lose its power over you.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that gives salvation to His people: Salvation means to save somebody or something from harm, destruction, difficulty or failure. The event in today’s meditative scripture happened at a time when the children of Israel had celebrated their freedom from years of slavery in Egypt. After God had dealt terribly with the Egyptians, they had

finally been released by Pharaoh to go find their own Country. However, just a few miles from Egypt, they discovered that Pharaoh had changed his mind and wanted them back in slavery. The army of Egypt was by no means a match for the Israelites who did not have trained soldiers or an army to protect them. But what they lacked in physical might, they more than possessed in the spiritual presence of God and His host with them. For the Lord God was their defense in form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. God separated the army of Egypt from the Israelites, preventing the soldiers from hurting the Israelites. Finally the Israelites came to the Red Sea, and it was like they had come to the end of the road. But the Lord God was their salvation and He was not ready to give them up. He created a path in the sea so His people could walk through the sea on dry land. When the Egyptian Soldiers tried to pursue the Israelites through the sea, God closed up the path he had created in the sea for His people and the army of Israel was destroyed in the Red Sea. Just as Moses had predicted, God granted salvation to His people. This God is the same today and is still more than able to save His people from destruction. If He could work out such great deliverance for a people that operated in the old covenant, will He not do much more for you who operated in the new covenant established by His dear son Jesus Christ? Do not fret, give no place to fear or worry in your life, for the Most High God is He that grants salvation to all they that put their trust in Him. Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you become royalty. Daniel 4:32-37…and excellent majesty was added unto me…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Owned by God: I am owned by the Lord God of Israel, Hallelujah! It is a wonderful thing to be owned by the God that neither sleeps nor slumber. His eyes are always upon His children to ensure their safety and salvation. The Lord said in Isaiah 49:15-16: Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. What assurance can be better than this? We are graven upon the palms of the Most High and so nothing can happen to us without His knowledge. No one can touch us without first touching him. In Isaiah 43:1-7, He sealed the salvation deal with the following words: Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Since God is for you, who can be against you?

Henceforth, live with this knowledge that you are owned by God. If a man can guarantee the security, provision and welfare of his dog, how much more will the Lord God, who is faithful in all His ways and true to His promises, do for you?

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Fear not: Fear is an emotional expression of your belief in an evil that may not even occur. It is a demonstration of ignorance of the ability of the Most High God, who is ever present, to make good His promise to you. Fear is a seed planted by the devil (2Timothy 1:7), it is a dart shot at you to prevent you from hope. Fear is false evidence appearing real and is an open invitation to the enemy to operate in your life. Once there is fear in your heart, God cannot help you. This is the reason why the first words Angels say to anyone they are sent to is, “fear not”. The presence of God cannot dwell in an atmosphere of fear. We are under instruction today not to fear the advancement of the enemy. Pharaoh is but a noise, he has passed his time appointed (Jeremiah 46:17). As long as you operate in faith and boldness, you will experience the salvation of God every day.  See the salvation of the lord which He shows to you: It is what you are able to see with the eye of your mind that will be manifested in your life. If you cannot see the victory, then you cannot expect to have the victory. The secret to victory is summarized in the following steps: - Imagine the victory.

- Visualize the victory.

- Appreciate God for the victory - Declare the victory - By faith, walk in the victory SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body… But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison (James 3:2, 6-8). The tongue cannot be tamed by human efforts. The Holy Spirit is the power by which the believer is able to control the tongue. Consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit gives Him room to rule the tongue so that the whole body can be put under control. As we pray constantly in tongues, the tongue is tamed and thus the body is put under control.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Isaiah 43:5- Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

[King Saul and his soldiers were afraid of Goliath and so they could not defeat him. David was not afraid of him and so he was able to defeat him. You can only confront and conquer that which you are not afraid of].

SECTION 8- Intercession A mark of separation is placed on the foreheads of all those that stand in the gap for their nation. In the day of judgment, intercessors are exempted. See Ezekiel 9:4 - And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men, Matthew 4:19. If you are not fishing for men then you cannot claim to be following Jesus? Those that follow Him with a sincere heart will be made fishers of men. Therefore, one proof that you are following the Master is your ability to win souls. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Healing (Health) Romans 8:11- But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

DECEMBER 21 THE LAW THAT SETS FREE Text: Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: God has drawn you close to Himself just like the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man. He seeks to make you an icon of His mighty power and grace to the rest of the world. However, you cannot be made by His hands if you do not rest in His arms. As you cleave to the maker of your life, He will make you a celebrity among men (Jeremiah 13:11).

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold, but [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot, 1Peter 1:18-19 (Amp). The powers and evils that were present in your former family lineage no longer have power over you because the devil has been defeated by the blood of Jesus shed for your redemption. Therefore, all those that identify with the Conqueror now also have victory over every evil that was present in their family lineage having been taken from the lineage of man and placed in the lineage of divinity.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus: John 4:24 tells us that God is a Spirit and they that relate with Him must do so in spirit and in truth. The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Holy trinity and is currently on the earth, living in the hearts of those that have aligned themselves with God; giving instruction and direction to them that pay attention to Him. Every person, before the Spirit of life takes hold of him, is under the law of sin and death. There is no hope of salvation for anyone who continues to live outside the provision of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit produces or gives life. He gives peace, joy, salvation and all the other elements of the new life. This is in opposition to the law which produces death and condemnation. The Holy Spirit is sent

by Christ to everyone that accepts Him as Lord and Saviour. The influence of the Holy Spirit on the life of a person is so strong that it amazes those who do not understand His power. Here is Paul, who used to hate Christians and Christianity with a passion and was a persecutor of Christians. After he received the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, he became a preacher of the same gospel he once fought against. This is the power of the Holy Spirit.

This power accomplishes that which the law could not do. Those that do not have the Holy Spirit live under the law and they are subject to death and eternal condemnation. It is the Spirit of life that rescues from that path that leads to death and condemnation. He that has the Spirit of God living in him has zoe- the God kind of life. He will not die but will enjoy abundant life both here on earth and in heaven when eternity begins.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you have knowledge of the personality of God, you have access to all things. 2Peter 1:24 - Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness‌ SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Freed from the law of sin and death, by the superior law of love which is in the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus: He that has the Holy Spirit living in him is freed from the law of sin and death. He now operates a superior law of life which is established by the Spirit of God. Romans 6:14, 16-18, 22-23, paints a very beautiful picture of this great new life that is given by the Spirit of God: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

You are no longer under the bondage of sin; your past record of sin has been washed clean by the blood of the lamb and you have been justified and presented before the Father as pure and holy. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is to love God intimately in the consciousness of His ever abiding presence. As long as you dwell in this consciousness, you will enjoy the liberty and dominion over sin that the Spirit of life gives.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Live in Christ Jesus: ‘Life in Christ Jesus’ suggests that you should live in Christ Jesus. It also suggests living in the consciousness of the ever abiding presence of God i.e. making the presence of God the environment in which you live. When you live your life daily with the consciousness that the Father is with you and in you, you will experience the supernatural power of the Father operating in you and through you. As offsprings of God, we must live in Him, move in Him, and have our being in Him (Acts 17:28). A child of God must not have any life outside the Father for life outside the Father leads ultimately to death and condemnation. As long as you are in God and God is in you, you are an overcomer. See 1John 4:4- Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

As you keep this law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which is the love for God in a regular life of intimacy and love for others as you love yourself, you have victory over sin and death. When you carry the reality of your intimacy with God outside your closet to your day to day walk with others, you will be constrained from sin. No wonder the Apostle Paul said in 2Corithians 5:14, “the love of God constraineth us”. When the love of the Father is strong in your heart, sin will not be appealing to you.

Secondly, when you keep this love of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which is loveintimacy with Him consistently like Enoch, there is a possibility to your escaping not just eternal death, but also physical death like Enoch. For it was spoken of Enoch that he walked with God by faith to such an extent that God took him and he never saw death.

You too can walk in such a level of love. For whatever God has ever done before for one, He can do again for another. You can keep the law of love to such a dimension that you have real victory over sin and death.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (Romans 8:13). The Holy Spirit helps to put to death the deeds of the flesh.

Those who do not fellowship with the Holy Spirit will continue to struggle with sin and bad habits; only consistent fellowship with Him gives the believer the ability to overcome sin.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Ezekiel 2:6; And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

[Fear creates a pathway for the enemy to walk into your life. Fear grants the devil access. As long as you live in fear, you will remain under the oppression and control of the devil].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercessors will be first partakers of the fruits of their prayers for their land. See Jeremiah 29:7And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost, Luke 19:10. To be a Christian means to be like Christ, how can we say we are like Christ if we do not seek to save the lost? Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF TERRIBLE PAINS IN THE STOMACH I suddenly had a very terrible stomach ache sometime during the Early Satisfaction programme.

I called those around me including the ushers and they came to my aid, but the pain would not go away. I cried in pain and kept rolling on the floor until Mama’s attention was drawn to me.

She quickly called papa into the situation as she was overwhelmed by the condition. Daddy came and just stood by me and started laughing. Thereafter, he declared my healing. I suddenly got up, with the pain gone and began to praise God. That same day in the afternoon, I was sleeping at home and dreamt of a pussy cat coming towards me. I got a sword from an angel of God and used it to cut the cat into two. I came to church the next day of the programme and testified of it and papa prayed and imparted me with the gift of healing those with stomach pains. The healing gift was made evident immediately in church as the little boy I prayed for who had stomach ache was healed instantly. Praise God. Mrs. C.

DECEMBER 22 GOD’S DWELLING PLACE Text: Psalm 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. Zechariah 4:1-3, 11-14 Standing by the Lord helps you to empty into the body of Christ. Before you can affect people, you must be someone who practices intimacy with the Lord and dwells continuously in the consciousness of His presence.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, Colossians 1:12-14. We have been delivered from the Kingdom of darkness and have been given an inheritance in the Kingdom of light. Before our redemption, we were miserably lost in darkness, without direction and were under the oppression of the devil, but the defeat of the devil gave release to God’s people. We are now in the light and can never again be oppressed by the powers of darkness for the defeat of the devil is total.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Holy God: And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation, Exodus 34:6-7. Holiness describes the person of God. There is no variableness in Him, neither shadow of turning.

He is the God that is faithful to His words and will not adjust His standard to soothe man. It is impossible for God to do that which is not right for Himself is the definition of rightness. When we embrace this holy God, His garment of holiness covers us and we



are conferred with holiness. By ourselves, we cannot be holy, but when we submit ourselves to Him, He clothes us with the garment of holiness and makes it possible for us to appear before His throne justified- just like we have never done anything wrong.

They that claim to know this Holy God must know Him in His completeness. Being a Holy God, His word is His guide. He is merciful, gracious and patient in judgment, He forgives iniquity, but He also brings judgment upon those that transgress His law.

The God that inhabits the praises of His people: God dwells in an atmosphere of praise.

When the praises go up, then His awesome presence comes down. Nothing moves God like praise. Little wonder then that it is said that a man that praises prays twice. When Paul and Silas were locked up in prison, they prayed and then they sang praises to the God of heaven. As they praised the living God, suddenly there was a response from the throne room of the Most High God. An earth quake shook the foundations of the prison and all that were bound were set free. When a great host came against Jehoshaphat and all Judah in battle, they won a resounding victory by praising God. The bible tells us in 2Chronicles 20:21-22: And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 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. Praise proves to God that you are aware of His might and that you trust Him to help you.

Those that know how to praise God even in the midst of strong contradictions will always have victory over the devices of darkness. If God could respond to the praises of a people that were not purchased with the blood of His dear son, then you can imagine how quickly He will send His host to respond when you begin to sing songs of praises to Him from a sincere heart.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you have knowledge of the personality of God, you will not struggle to live a holy life.

You will practice godliness effortlessly. 2Peter 1:2-4 - Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  The Israel of God: Israel represents the chosen of God; a people that God has set aside for Himself. When any man receives Jesus into his life, he is automatically transformed from being a Gentile- (an alien to the commonwealth of heaven) to being an Israelite- a specially chosen one with rights to the common wealth of heaven. The bible illustrates this in Ephesians 2:11-13: Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. We have been brought into the fold of God’s children

by our accepting God’s free offer of salvation. Accepting Christ into our lives qualifies us for the heavenly inheritance: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise, Galatians 3:29. You are not an outcast, but a legal and rightful partaker in the benefits, rights and privileges of citizens of Zion. If someone travels from Nigeria to Britain, he is only allowed to stay there for a while, and there is a limit to his privileges as an alien. But if he obtains a green card, he is then able to enjoy the rights and privileges of a citizen of Britain. Before you accepted Christ into your life, you were an alien to the common wealth of heaven. You could not access the privileges of sons.

But now that Jesus lives in you, you have the heavenly green card. All the riches of heaven are freely given to you and you can access them anytime you wish. You must see yourself the way God sees you: an heir of His glory.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Praise God: Psalm 149:1-9 is a full chapter of the bible dedicated to instruction to praise God: Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. It is as we praise God that the earth will yield her increase and we will receive the blessings of God as seen in Psalms 67:5-6- Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. The praises of God must never cease from our lips. We must make use of every opportunity that comes our way to extol the name of God above all others because He deserves our praise and because praising Him shows how grateful we are for His past goodness and prepares us to receive more of His provision.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: …For with God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:34-37). The Holy Spirit is the God that turns impossibilities to possibilities. Those that fellowship consistently with the Holy Spirit will always be a wonder to others because their life is constantly filled with testimonies; they get, with ease, those things that others struggle to get.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Deuteronomy 1:21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

[A life of fear will make you jump from pleasure to horror (frustration). For God’s blessings upon your life to be preserved, you must banish fear from your heart].

SECTION 8- Intercession The prayer of an intercessor qualifies him to achieve what the great can achieve. He will, therefore, not struggle to attain greatness but will receive it as a gift from the Lord. See Isaiah 53:12- Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath… made intercession for the transgressors.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand, Ezekiel 33:7-8. When you allow sinners around you die in their sin, without any effort on your part to bring them to Christ, then their blood will be required of you. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Healing (Health) Romans 8:11- But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.     

Thank God for His assurance of divine health at all time Appreciate Him for the many times He has recued you from the power and hold of sickness and infirmity Thank God for His Spirit in you that has made your body impregnable to diseases and afflictions Take authority against every sickness and symptom of disease in your life.

Dedicate every organ of your body to God e.g. your heart, your kidneys, your liver, your eyes, your brain, etc.

   

Command every organ of your body to function at maximum productivity Decree abundant health for yourself and every member of your family Decree that your organs and systems will not break down or pack up Decree long life for yourself and every member of your family.

DECEMBER 23 THE SPIRIT THAT LIBERATES Text: Text: 2Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. …Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man (Judges 6:12-16). God’s presence guarantees effortless victory. As you dwell today in the consciousness of God’s ever abiding presence, all the challenges you are confronted with will be handled by His mighty power.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, 1Peter 1:18. When the devil defeated man, he established a genealogy that was human, not divine. Man that was initially created as a divine being became human and thus became susceptible to all the evils of mankind. This evil was transferred from one generation of man to the next. Every man in the lineage of Adam became a partaker of the curse upon the human race. The defeat of the devil

by Christ Jesus liberated you from family lineage. Having been saved from the traditions of your

fathers, the curses and issues that existed in your paternal or maternal lineage can no longer affect you for you are no longer of your earthly lineage but of divine parentage.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The Liberator of the lawful captive: God has the power to set free. He does not require permission from anyone before He can release anyone He wishes to release. After the children of Israel had been slaves in Egypt for over four hundred years, God worked out a rescue plan for them. He sent Moses to Pharaoh with the message, “let my people go”. It was not a plea, but an order. When Pharaoh resisted the order of God, he and all Egypt paid dearly for it. When Peter was arrested in Acts 12, the church cried to God on his behalf, and God intervened: And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. No one can hold a child of God bound, he will certainly be liberated by the God who is able to liberate even those that are legally bound. God is the liberator of His children. In Isaiah 49:24-26, He says these beautiful words: Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. It doesn’t matter what has held you in bondage over the years, it doesn’t even, matter if the enemy had a legal hold on you; the blood of Jesus that was shed for you has established a new covenant on your behalf. It is a superior covenant and it wipes out every old covenant. As you submit yourself today into the hands of the Lord God that sets free, He will liberate you from whatever has held you bound.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Knowledge of God makes you a partaker of the divine nature. 2Peter 1:2-4- …through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  The Spirit of the Lord dwells in me, for I am the temple of the Holy Spirit: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Corinthians 6:19. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Corinthians 3:16. The spirit of God resides in the life of every one that has accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Before Jesus ascended, He promised not to leave His people alone, but assured them that He would send them a comforter that would be with them and live in them. That promise was fulfilled when the apostles were gathered in the upper room on Pentecost day. The Holy Spirit has been present with man since then and comes upon every man who repents genuinely. The born again child of God is thus the temple of the Holy Spirit. What a great privilege it is to carry God inside you. The Spirit of God residing in you gives direction to your life, shields you from the darts of the enemy, helps you build a good relationship with God, guides you from a life of sin, comforts and helps you in all that you do, empowers you for exploits, and gives you a life that is the envy of those that do not have Christ in their lives. You maximize the power of the Holy Spirit in you when you pay attention to Him all the time and submit to His leading. Only those that are led by the Spirit of God can claim to be sons of God Romans 8:14. If God is in you what can stand on your path? Who can be against you? Never entertain fear in your life again: arm yourself with this knowledge that the Big God dwells in your inside. The Spirit of God living inside you makes you a winner every day.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Stand Fast in that Liberty: Since there is liberty for you by the fact of His indwelling presence, then you should stand fast therefore in that liberty where with you have been set free (Galatians 5:1). Stand in the liberty from:  Poverty- For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich, 2Corithians 8:9.  Sickness- Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed, 1Peter 2:24.  Sorrow- He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed, Isaiah 53:3-5.  Sin- For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of

righteousness. Romans 6:14,18. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins, Matthew 1:21.  Oppression- And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob, Isaiah 49:26.  Barrenness- He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. Psalms 113:9. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle, Deuteronomy 7:14.  Sudden death- He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8.

Whenever there are symptoms of contradictions, resist steadfast with the faith of the certainty of your liberty in Christ. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith. 1Peter 5:8-9a SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18). The Holy Spirit is the anointer for performance. No man can do exploits unless he is anointed of the Holy Spirit. As you fellowship constantly with Him, the oil for great exploits drops upon you making you excel in all that you do.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

John 12:15; Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

[The devil does not have the capacity to do anything until he has created the fear of it happening in your heart. Just like God cannot do anything for you until the Holy Ghost creates faith in your heart. The issue is the fear or faith posture of your heart].

SECTION 8- Intercession Abundant health is the heritage of those that are given to intercession. See James 5:16b- and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning

If ye love me, keep my commandments, John 14:15. The Lord commands us to GO and make disciples and reach our world. Also it says that the second greatest commandment of all is to love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbors are your colleagues and all those in your environment. They could be good or bad but as long as they are in the same environment with you, they are your neighbors. If we love ourselves enough to be in church, be saved and be preparing to go to heaven, where is our neighbor? Are they in church? Are they saved? Will they be in heaven? Do you really love your neighbor? Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Manifestation of your supernaturality Romans 8:14- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. A son has privileges and access that a servant can never dream of. A son has full powers to operate in the place of his father. His words can be considered to be the words of his father. A son enjoys protection, provision and direction from his father. If the father is a wealthy and established person, the son may never have to source for wealth by himself; he walks into an inheritance of wealth. So you can see the wonderful privilege you have to be called a son of God. His Spirit, living in you, leads you daily in the direction that the father has mapped out for your life thereby making you a true representation of your Great Father here on earth.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to root out all issues in your life that war against your true resemblance of the Father in character, in power and in prosperity. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.         

Appreciate God for His Spirit resident in you that leads you in the right direction daily Appreciate God for adopting you into sonship Appreciate God for the privilege to operate just like Him on earth Take authority against fear, timidity and intimidation in your life that makes you operate below expectation.

War against situations in your life that betray your supernaturality Command all the forces of the earth to begin to respond the commands of your lips Decree your ability to function with the power of God everywhere you go and in every situation you are confronted with Decree miraculous happenings by your hands every time and everywhere you go Declare that this week and every day of your life, you will manifest the glory of God in character, in power and in prosperity.

TESTIMONY DELIVERED FROM DEMONIC ATTACK My name is Victor Igbinoba. I live in Holland. In 2006, I travelled from Holland to Spain to renew my papers. As I was trying to sleep that night, I saw a bird fly in through the window and then saw a big hand choking him. I struggled with the hand until I was finally able to jump out of bed.

From that night I began to fall sick frequently. I came to Nigeria for check up and the doctor told me I had high blood pressure. While in Nigeria, my condition continued to deteriorate. I began to vomit terrible things. I made up my mind to attend the early satisfaction programme throughout because I knew it was only God that would be able to deliver me from the situation and restore my health. Pastor ministered to me alongside other people that needed God’s touch. As he ministered to me, I suddenly felt relief in my body. All the symptoms of sickness I was feeling just before his ministration disappeared instantly. I am healed to the glory of God. Mr. Victor Igbinoba Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013 @ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.

DECEMBER 24 THE SAVIOUR Text: Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION

SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest… for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of (Genesis 28:15). Those that dwell daily in the consciousness of God’s presence always finish strong. Things may look rough at the beginning, but God’s presence soon brings out beauty from the ashes.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed, 1Peter 2:24. There was no sickness before the fall of man; it was sin that brought sickness upon man. Before Jesus was nailed to the cross, he was flogged mercilessly by the soldiers. This scourging of Jesus was a strategic way of defeating the devil. In guerilla warfare, one army deceives the other army into using up its entire armory before launching its attack. That way, the army that has used up all its armor can no longer fight back or defend itself. The Father ensured that all the sicknesses of mankind was placed on Jesus by reason of the stripes and then Jesus was nailed to the cross and bled to death, signifying the end of all manner of sicknesses for all those that identify with Him. There are no more afflictions that the devil can afflict God’s people with; Jesus took them all. This means total victory over sickness for children of God. SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Jesus the savior of the world from the power of sin: Sin breaks relationship with God. The bible tells us in Ezekiel 18:20: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Those that live in sin are under the rule of the devil and will continually be under his control and manipulation. When Adam and Eve sinned, their relationship with God was broken and they were driven from His presence. Sin places a blockade between God and you and so you not only lose His protection when you sin, you also lose blessings that were already released towards you. The sin of Adam and Eve created a huge wall of separation between God and man. This wall of separation prevented man from relating with God the way He originally intended. Man could no longer subdue and dominate the earth as God had ordered in the beginning because sin took away his authority. Man would never again had achieved the original status God gave him at creation had it not been for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Jesus was God’s winning shot with which He delivered man from the hand of the devil. Whereas sin had given the devil right to lord it over man, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross paid the price in full for man’s redemption and opened up a path of escape for all those that would accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of their lives. Jesus is the Lord that came down from heaven to earth to deliver man from the power of sin. Man now has a choice not to be in slavery to sin because the power to overcome sin has been given to him. It doesn’t matter how deep you have fallen into sin, the blood that was shed for your salvation is potent enough to wash you clean. You must never cease to worship the Lord Jesus as the God that delivered you from the oppression of sin.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Those that know the Lord are the sons of God, whereas those that do not know Him are sons of the devil. 1Samuel 2:12 - Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. The sons of Eli were called sons of Belial because they knew not the Lord. This knowledge is not academic knowledge, but by meditative discovery. It is this knowledge that helps you speak, dress, and behave like a child of God. Those that do not have this knowledge will speak, dress, and behave like children of the devil even though they go to church.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  The people of God that have been saved from the power of sin: What a privilege it is to be called the people of God. The wall of separation between God and man that was erected by sin has been broken in pieces by the blood of the lamb shed for the salvation of all mankind. Now we can come boldly to the throne room of the Father and relate with Him as our Father. Past sins have been thoroughly purged by the blood of the lamb and there is no record of our past life anymore in heaven. The bible tells us in 2Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. We are no longer under the dominion of the devil as a result of sin; we have been set free and have been translated to the Kingdom of God far above the reach of the devil. You have what it takes to live a holy life: the Holy Spirit has been given to you to empower you to overcome every temptation from the pit of hell. No more should you live with guilt: you have been presented before God as holy, unblameable and unreproveable (Colossians 1:22). Stop struggling with overcoming sin: sin can no longer have dominion over you. Get out from that pit by faith and reach out to the hand of God that is stretched out towards you ready to pull you out of that pit of sin.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God: Romans 6:11. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lust thereof. Romans 6:12. Do not yield (present) your members (eyes, mind, etc) as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but rather yield yourself unto God (present yourselves always in the consciousness of God’s presence). It is impossible for a man who dwells perpetually in the consciousness of God’s presence to commit sin. Any time you commit sin, you did so because you lost consciousness of the fact that God is with you, seeing all that you do. Avoid any environment or relationship that exposes you to being enticed to sin. Romans 6:13. Die to sin and live only to God. SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit quickens, revitalizes, and activates the ability of the organs i.e. the

physical body for maximum performance. As long as you are in relationship with him, you will not go weary but will renew your strength in Him on a daily basis.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Revelation 1:17; And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [Fear is a very strong belief in the occurrence of an evil that might never happen. It is precipitated on meditation on the wrong things].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession grants you access to relevant information. As Daniel made intercession for Israel, He received information from God. See Daniel 9:20- And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me…

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled, Luke 14:23. God expects us to make use of all we have at our disposal to bring in souls into His house. We are not to stop till we have been able to convince the sinner to come in. Compel them to come in. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Manifestation of your supernaturality Romans 8:14- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.   

DECEMBER 25 Christmas Day THE KING IS BORN! Text: Matthew 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee… (Exodus 3:11-12). God’s presence with Moses made him a god to Pharaoh. As long as you dwell in the consciousness of God’s ever abiding presence, you will be a god to all situations and circumstances around you and the decrees of your mouth concerning issues you are confronted with will be carried out to the letter.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, Galatians 3:13-14. When Adam was defeated by the devil in the Garden of Eden, he became a candidate of curse. Curse means ability withdrawn; available but not effective; potent but not available. Although Jesus could have died by any other method, He had to die on the cross because when you are hanged on the cross, you are cursed. He chose to die this way so that He would take the curse of man on Himself. This defeated the devil over the issue of our being under curse. No curse can ever again operate in your life because you are now a child of God and curse has lost its power as regards you.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Jesus the born King: Every Kingdom celebrates the birth of an heir to the throne. The birth of a new King marks a day of rejoicing for everyone in the kingdom. From birth, it is already known that this young lad will be a king in a few years and so although a baby, the newly born prince is given all the respect and accolade of a King. Today, we celebrate the birth of our King Jesus. Jesus was born as King with a divine agenda. The day He was born, a star appeared in the sky signifying the arrival of a conquering King.

He is not just a King; Jesus is the King of kings. A King of Kings has power to ordain kings and dethrone kings. He is king to other kings. Jesus came to earth to birth more Kings.

He came to establish a new order on earth. He came to give hope to mankind. He came to lift man to the original level God ordained for him. He came to show the way to the Father. He came to give meaning to man’s life. As a conquering King, He went to hell and took the keys of life and death from the devil. He conquered principalities and powers and made an open show of them. He took over the rule of the earth from the devil and placed it in the hands of man. As King of Kings, all the rulers of the earth submit to His authority. No one can change His decree: no one dare oppose His judgment. Whatever He says is law and whoever He chooses is blessed. As you celebrate Christmas today, your mind must not depart from the fact that Jesus is the reason for our celebration. We are saved today and have a glorious life both here on earth and afterwards in eternity because Jesus came to die. Worship Jesus as the King who’s coming to earth reconciled lost man to the Father.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Those that meditate constantly on the personality of God will have the anointing of the Lord.

Psalms 63:5-6 - My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks



Made kings by the redemptive work of Jesus: …and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:9-10. Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

Ecclesiastics 8:4. Jesus is King of Kings because we are Kings also. Our kingship status makes Him the Kings of kings. The King of Kings has chosen you for ordination. You have been made a king on earth and have been given authority to subdue and dominate. You have what it takes to rule your world. We have been given authority to Lord it over all situations and circumstances that come our way. We have been called to rulership, with a mandate to enforce compliance of all the factors around us to the standard expected

by God. Kings do not beg; they demand whatsoever they desire with an expectation to receive what they have demanded for. Kings determine what happens around them; they do not live their lives subject to the control of external factors. A King knows he is in charge and operates thus: He is not intimidated by his subjects. You cannot affect your world if you refuse to take up your mantle of Kingship and rule. In case you have not been reigning as King, today is a good day to begin.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Worship Jesus the king: Kings are meant to be revered and worshipped. A King is glad when his subjects show respect and submit to his rule. God, as King of our lives, desires our worship and total surrender to His leading. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God. Psalms 95:6-7a. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created, Revelation 4:11. Whenever you worship God in spirit and in truth, all those in authority and those that are deciders over issues that concern you will submit to your God and to His will for you.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2Peter 1:20-21). The Holy Spirit is the author of the bible. The more you fellowship with Him, the more He will open the eyes of your understanding to behold fresh mysteries in His word.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Jeremiah 42:11; Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

[God is Omnipotent but His ability is restricted by His principle by which He created existence.

All of His creation must operate within the territory of discipline. If you operate the principle of faith, you will win every day, but if you operate the principle of fear, He cannot help you].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession is an armor of defense against satanic attack (it is the key to victory over satanic activities). See Ephesians 6:12, 13, 18- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15.

When you are involved in Evangelism, your feet will be neat; they will have no stain. The implication of this is that you will have sweatless and effortless progress. Success will naturally come to you and your life will be characterized by enviable achievements. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF SPINAL DISLOCATION Two years ago, I developed a spinal cord problem. I could no longer seat for too long to work as the pain was unbearable. The condition began to affect my work, as I am a cashier in a bank. I was changed from being a cashier and I was scared that I would soon lose my job if the condition persisted.. I could not sleep on my side; I could only sleep face down. I went to the hospital and the doctor told me there was a shift in the spinal cord and so the two bones were meeting each other causing the noticed discomfort. I had an x-ray of the spine and it revealed that the spine was normal, but still the problem persisted. I attended the just concluded Early Satisfaction programme. Pastor ministered to me during the programme and God stepped into my situation. The whole symptoms and pain I was feeling disappeared as soon as Pastor laid his hands on my back. Now I can bend without effort or pain, I can sit straight and I can do all the things I could not do before. Praise God! Mr. Harrison Ewemade Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013 @ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.

Time: 6.15 – 7.30am daily A prophetic, prayer programme aimed at activating heaven for quick delivery of your expectation for the year 2013. There will be ministration to the sick on Saturday 5 th and Saturday 12th. Come and settle your prompt satisfaction in the New Year.

DECEMBER 26 GROWING INTO HIM Text: Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint

supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there… (Genesis 35:1, 9-12, 16, 18, 22). When Jacob dwelt at Bethel (in the consciousness of God’s presence), he was blessed of God and made prosperous. He was made fruitful and God gave him rest from pursuing enemies. But when he departed from Bethel (from the consciousness of God’s presence), himself and his family were plagued with all manners of evil. His wife had hard labour and died in child bearing, his son slept with his concubine, and lots more. Dwelling in the consciousness of God’s presence is what secures us from the evils of this life.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich, 2Corinthians 8:9. Jesus defeated the devil’s agenda of poverty for man by being poor. His poverty was displayed on the cross for while on the cross, there was nothing that signified affluence on Him. He displayed poverty then so He can now display the glory of His riches in us. Having experienced poverty on our behalf, the devil has no right to afflict us with poverty anymore. We have been made rich by our association with the resurrected Christ.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Jesus the head of the church which is our body (The authority figure): And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23. A head is a leader of others. The head of a people makes the laws that govern the affairs of that people. A chief, for instance as head of a community, leads all other people in that community. A president, as head of a country, directs the affairs of all other citizens of that country.

Just like your trunk would be useless if your head was cut off, that is how a community or society would be incomplete and unprogressive without a head. When a country is headed by a wise and godly leader, peace, progress and development would be seen in that country. But when the head is selfish, foolish and godless, no meaningful progress would be seen in that country. Jesus is the authority figure in Christianity: He is the head of the church. Having established the church as His body by His sacrifice that led to the free offer of salvation, He now continues in the recruitment of more and more persons into His fold and the perfecting of such people in the Father till they are able to manifest the glory of the Father. The Christian walk is a pleasurable and rewarding walk for those that recognize Jesus as Lord and Master of their lives. Such people that submit to His leading will not make mistakes and will never be put to shame. As Christians, we must realize that we have no life outside Christ, for without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). If you see Him as your head and make up your mind to live your life strictly by His

leading, you will never have a reason for regret anymore for He knows the way through all the dark tunnels of life and so those that follow after Him will never miss their way, but will always find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God There is a pattern in Christianity. You deviate from the established pattern when you do not know God. Matthew 22:29 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Knowledge of God keeps you on the right track.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Family of Christ: Believers make up the body of Christ with each believer being a member (may be the eye, nose, ear etc) of the body. The strength of the body is in the corporate unity of each part or member. The value and potency of the corporate body of Christ is in the effectiveness of the individual supply of unique graces. It is this corporate state of the church that the gate of hell cannot prevail against. We must break up the walls that have been erected by denominationalism and embrace Christ for we are one family in Him. If the church can arise with one voice and do things with one accord, then the world will feel the impact of God’s power. You are part of the family of Christ: you make His body complete. You, just like everyone else in the body, has a role to play and as long as you are faithful in the little part God committed to your hands, then you are working ultimately towards a perfect body of Christ that will crush the enemy and establish the victory Christ has won for believers in the life of every child of God. SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Discover your role in the body and perform it: We should be jointly fitted together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to the grace it has for the edification or increased capacity of the entire church. This becomes profitable if it is done not by law, but in love. Until you come to this level of understanding and seek the unity of the entire body, you will not experience the expected high level of glory that God has planned for you. This is what the golden candle sticks in the tabernacle represent. Before you enter into the Holy of Holies for glory, you must pass through the impartation of the candles sticks, which represents the global church of Christ. See yourself as a part of the family of Christ; realize that you have a unique role to play. Find out your part in the body and make your contribution to the perfecting of the body of Christ. Revelation 1:10, 13, 20.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29).

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Grace. The best way to continually enjoy abundance of God’s grace is by maintaining relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Deuteronomy 20:1: When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

[Whatever you fear is attracted to you. Job learnt this the hard way: For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (Job 3:25)].

SECTION 8- Intercession An intercessor has the ability to meet the needs of others. See Hebrews 7:25- Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. The more you intercede for others, the more you are able to meet their needs.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth, Acts 1:8. The Holy Ghost empowers us for witnessing. If you have the Holy Ghost and you are not witnessing, then you are under-utilizing His power that works in you.

Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Manifestation of your supernaturality Romans 8:14- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. A son has privileges and access that a servant can never dream of. A son has full powers to operate in the place of his father. His words can be considered to be the words of his father. A son enjoys protection, provision and direction from his father. If the father is a wealthy and established person, the son may never have to source for wealth by himself; he walks into an inheritance of wealth. So you can see the wonderful privilege you have to be called a son of God. His Spirit, living in you, leads you daily in the direction that the father has mapped out for your life thereby making you a true representation of your Great Father here on earth.

Armed with this knowledge, begin to root out all issues in your life that war against your true resemblance of the Father in character, in power and in prosperity. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.         

DECEMBER 27 MADE FREE FROM SIN Text: Romans 6:18, 22.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence

Selah: God came from Teman... Selah. … and there was the hiding of his power. Habakkuk 3:3-4.

Pause and imagine the awesomeness of the arrival of divinity. When the Almighty God arrives, all questions are answered. Consciousness of God’s presence is the hiding place of God’s power. As you dwell consistently in the consciousness that He is with you, His Mighty Power will be manifested to the fullest in your life.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death, Revelation 12:11. When the Angel of death was to pass through Egypt, the Lord instructed the Israelites to mark their door posts with the blood of a lamb. And that night, upon any house where the angel of death beheld the lamb’s blood, he passed over. The blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross is much more potent than the blood of lambs. This blood, shed on our account, destroyed the power of the devil completely. Having been washed clean by the blood of Christ, we have become untouchable to the devil and his kingdom.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Master: A master is someone who controls others. He is a person in a position of authority; a boss. A master usually has servants under himself and his word is law unto his servants. A servant’s greatest duty is usually to please his master. For when a servant pleases his master; that servant qualifies himself for certain privileges. Joseph, while a servant in the household of Potiphar, pleased his master so much with his obedience and dedication to work that he was placed over other servants. He began to enjoy privileges not allowed other servants. Eliezer was a faithful and committed servant to Abraham. His faithful service made Abraham treat him like a son and a portion of Abraham’s possession was to be inherited by him. When it was time for Isaac to have a wife; Abraham committed the task of getting a wife from among his kindred to Eliezer.

When a servant serves his master faithfully, he invites blessings and promotion to himself. These two masters in the examples above are humans, but were able to improve the status of their faithful servants and give them a better life. If human Masters could do this for their servants, how much more our loving and faithful God. God is the master of our lives as believers and He seeks our complete loyalty. Loyalty to God and His every instruction proves to Him that you are a faithful servant, qualified for lifting. As servants of the Most High God, we must serve with all dedication. We honour God with our obedience. A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? Malachi 1:6. God bought man from the captivity of sin at a very great price. We must show our gratefulness to Him by serving Him with all diligence; ensuring that our lives please our Master.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God

When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you will excel beyond your teacher.

The bounds of your teacher’s knowledge will not limit your ability. Psalms 119:99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies (your activities and performances) are my meditation.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Servants of God: We were bought from sin, our former master, at a very great price.

The Lord God sacrificed His son on the cross just to get us on His side. We have been made free from sin, and so we are no longer servants of sin but servants of God. Sin no longer has rule or dominion over us because we have been taken from its sphere of control. I am proudly a servant of the Most High God. As a faithful servant of God, there are inexhaustible benefits and privileges I stand to gain. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7. As a servant of God, nothing takes me unawares. God reveals His heart to me as I dwell with Him in intimacy and gives me an opportunity to reason with Him. When God was to destroy the city of Sodom, He said, “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do” (Genesis 18:17). Abraham was let in on God’s secret plan because he was a faithful servant. He was also able to intercede on behalf of Sodom and so his nephew Lot, and his family were delivered from destruction. David proved himself a faithful servant of God and qualified himself for God’s lifting. See what the Lord said concerning him in Psalm 89:20-35: I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted…

The servants of God have an heritage of protection from God. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17. As long as you serve God with the heart of a servant, you will always be in position to receive from Him. For more study, see the following scriptures: Psalms 105:25-27 quote, 1kings 18:36-38, Revelation 19:910, Revelation 22:9, Philippians 2:5-11.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Obey the commands of God and ye shall be called the servants of God: As servants, God demands our full loyalty and obedience. Our lives must be guided by His law, and never must we live our lives outside His dictate. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Romans 6:16. You become the servant of whosoever or whatsoever you yield yourself to. …his servants ye are to whom ye obey…

Make up your mind today to yield yourself to God and to Him alone so you can bring to full manifestation in your life, the privileges attached to serving the Lord.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit …Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain… (Zechariah 4:6-7). The Holy Spirit is the God that produces a miracle out of an obstacle. Those that dwell in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit always have the last laugh in every situation.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Jeremiah 15:20; And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. [Judges 6:2- And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel… Verse 10- And I said unto you …fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

When you do not obey God’s instruction not to fear, you will see the hand of the enemy prevailing against you].

SECTION 8- Intercession Zechariah continued in intercession for Israel even though he had a personal need. As he took his mind from his own need and prayed for others, God showed up in his own area of need. See Luke 1:9-11 - According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear… 2Timothy 4:16-18.

Although all the men that Paul relied on forsook him in his time of need, God did not forsake him. The Lord stood with me. For all those that are active in soul winning, they will never be left alone by the Lord. He will always be by their sides and help them in their time of need. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY HEALED OF STRANGE ULCER About three years ago, I ate in the dream and thereafter I started feeling pains in my throat.

The pains soon graduated to my chest and then to my back. The pain was so intense that I had to a see a doctor who claimed it was ulcer. I was given treatment but the pains and discomfort persisted. I even went to herbal homes all to no avail. My son, who is a member of the Believers Ministries, invited me for the programme- Early Satisfaction. I saw Pastor Osaghae in his office on one of the days and told him what I was experiencing. Pastor Osaghae prayed for me and gave me the Holy Communion to eat. Thereafter, he declared me healed and instantly I felt the pains and discomfort disappear. I am indeed healed to the glory of God. Mrs. Osamwonyi Comfort Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013 @ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.

DECEMBER 28 CHILDREN BY ADOPTION Text: Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith… that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17a, 19b. By meditating on the abiding presence of God, you become able to manifest all that God is. Constant consciousness of God’s presence in your heart is the secret of manifesting the fullness of His power.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. …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 1:1-6, 12-13.

The devil’s victory over man by reducing man from divinity to humanity was defeated when Christ who is divine became human. Christ took up the form of man so that man would once again be able to take up the divine nature. We died, were buried and resurrected into the divine life with Christ Jesus. We are no longer human but divine and are, thus, now beyond the reach of the devil.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  Abba Father: Slaves were not permitted to use the term, “Abba Father”. Only sons have the right to use this term. Having been delivered from the bondage of sin and redeemed by the blood of Jesus, we have been adopted into sonship of God and now have the full rights and privileges of sonship. A man without children is not called a father; our

presence as children of God makes Him our Father. A father is the source and sustainer.

There can be no child without the seed of the father. Life originates from Him. God is the source of His children and He is also the force that sustains them. ‘Abba Father’ is a loving term that signifies close relationship. It reveals a close bond between God, the father and we His children. Whenever my children relate with me by calling me daddy, I am reminded of my bond with them and can’t but do everything to ensure their happiness and satisfaction. As their daddy, I owe them certain responsibilities; if I fail in those responsibilities, then I make myself an irresponsible father. I love my children and will do everything within my powers to give them a good life. If me, a mortal can relate with my children to such a dimension, what do you expect of the Most High God who is faithful in all His ways? God is awake to His responsibilities as our Father and He has assured us several times in His word that He will not fail us as Father. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Isaiah 49:15. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 7:9-11. Children may lose their earthly father, but God is our Father forever.

He never leaves us nor forsakes us. He will never shy away from His responsibilities to us. He knows every one of His children and reaches out in love to each one, relating individually with every single one of them. Those that are always in the presence of the Father get more from him than those that relate with Him from afar. As you draw close to Him and begin to relate with Him as the loving Father that He is, you will experience His Fatherly attention and bring to manifestation in your life, the blessings and privileges of sonship.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God gives you strength. Daniel 11:32- …but the people that do know their God shall be strong... The strength you need is obtained in your knowing Him. You will not have strength for performance if you do not know God enough.

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Children of God: I am an heir of God; a Joint Heir (Joint signatories) with Christ of all the wealth of the Father. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Romans 8:17, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God… 1John 3:1. Having been adopted into sonship, God improved our status and so He now sees us just like He sees Christ. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see

Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Hebrews 2:6-11. The child of a king or a President is not intimidated by anyone. He gets the best of everything. All his needs are provided.

He is raised in the best conditions and gets the best things in the Kingdom. However, the son of that king could live in lack if he does not take advantage of his exulted position.

You are the child of the Most High King. Your Father is the owner and Master of the universe and you are heir to all that He has. You must not live a life that is short of God’s expectation for you. Live life to the fullest here on earth; become the envy of those that do not know God. Let them see the beauty of your life and be drawn to your Father. The blessings of God revealed in your life should preach the gospel of salvation to sinners around you.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Fear not: Fear is the instrument of the devil with which he gains entrance into the lives of believers. The enemy cannot afflict any child of God or steal his blessings until that child of God allows fear to take over his heart. The Lion roars so as to instill fear in a cluster of sheep. When one of the sheep breaks loose from the group, that one becomes easy prey to the lion. No matter how hard the enemy roars at you, if you roar back at him, you will shut him up. Refuse to fear, no matter the picture the enemy brings before you. Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed. Jeremiah 46:17. The devil has been defeated. He does not have power anymore to afflict you. The righteous are as bold as a lion. Refuse the intimidation of sickness, lack, slow achievement and retrogression. God has given you all things to enjoy; reach out in faith and claim His benefits. You will win every day if you can heed this instruction from God: Fear Not! SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit …taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (Ephesians 6:16). The Holy Spirit quenches the fiery darts (arrows, suggestions, wrong thoughts) of the enemy. The Holy Spirit is a shield of defense to believers. Praying in tongues builds your faith and it is with the shield of faith that you are able to quench the attacks of the enemy. …building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

John 16:33; These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

[For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power… (2Timothy 1:7). Have no room in your life for that which the Lord has not given you].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession attracts the ministration of angels. As Daniel made intercession for Israel, he received angelic attention. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear… 2Timothy 4:16-18 Those that are given to evangelism will always be strengthened by the Lord. While others are complaining of weakness, they will be strengthened both physical and spiritually by the Lord.

Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

DECEMBER 29 GOD’S UNFAILING COMPASSION Text: Lamentation 3:22-23 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11. Those that practice the consciousness of God cannot live in sorrow. …in thy presence is fullness of joy. They will have constant joy in the midst of contradiction. Dwelling in His consciousness gives access to the pleasures of God. SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. The devil’s agenda to keep us barren was totally defeated when Jesus refused to have children. There was no one to declare Christ’s generation; no one to carry on His name. He was barren so we should not be barren. The power of barrenness is therefore broken from the lives of children of God. SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it



The faithful God: Our Heavenly Father is the God whose mercies and compassion never fail. He is consistent in doing good to His children. When He makes a covenant with man, He never fails in His part. The entire time covenant between God and man has been broken, it was because man did not keep his part of the covenant. He swore to Abraham that He would bless Him and multiply His seed (Genesis 22:17). God kept to His word. Abraham that people had thought would never have a child became a Father of nations by the word of the Lord. God blessed Abraham indeed and multiplied his seed until nations came out of his seed. Once the Lord says a thing, it becomes established.

All factors align themselves of their own accord to favour whatever God has said. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19. The bible tells us in Hebrews 6:18 that it is impossible for God to lie. God has promised to have mercy and compassion on His children. He is faithful to His promises.

The bible tells us that God’s words are pure words. They are as silver tried in the furnace, purified seven times (Psalm 12:6). His words will not return to Him void, but shall accomplish that which He pleases, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto it is sent (Isaiah 55:11). If God could reach out in mercy to man that was lost in sin and headed towards destruction, would He not do more for delivered man? His love for man in unbreakable and His mercies and compassion can never be exhausted. When He chastises, it is for man’s good. Know Him from this day as the faithful God whose mercies and compassion never fails. Relate with Him as such and you will never again be consumed by the by the evil flames and challenges of life.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God helps you to do exploits. Daniel 11:32- …but the people that do know their God shall … do exploits. Daniel and his colleagues did exploits and became a reference point because they knew their God. Just like these men, you will do exploits when you know God. SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Vessel of mercy: Another word for mercy is compassion. It is kindness or forgiveness shown especially to somebody a person has power over. It is also defined as the easing of distress or pain. Our sins were forgiven and we were given a better life, not because we deserved it, but because of the mercies of God that are new upon His children every day. God is faithful to His promise to be merciful on His children. We really do not have anything we can do for God; God is self sufficient and exists all by Himself. We are the ones that need God for our existence; yet, God relates with us in love. This is the work of mercy. The merciful God seeks the best for me at all time. He looks ahead of me into my future and works things out in my favour. This is the work of mercy. He sees my weaknesses and yet bestows His love on me, pruning the rough branches of my life till I turn out a master piece; a beauty He is proud to showcase to the world. No one can achieve anything in life without God’s hand upon his life. The air we breathe, the fluids that flow in our veins and arteries, our ability to hear, see and speak, our ability to feel

and relate with people are all gifts to us from God. Our brain power and ability to learn and become intelligent to the extent that we become creative are all works of God’s faithfulness and mercies. Those that see their lives as products of the mercy of God will have the right kind of ego, knowing that they have not achieved or accomplished anything by their own wisdom or strength but by the mercies of God. Only such people will fully maximize their potentials and cast the light of God in the midst of the darkness that is taking over the world.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Show mercy to others to qualify for God’s mercy: One of the lines of the Lord’s Prayer reads: And forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. In teaching the beatitudes, Christ said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”. To qualify for mercy, you must first show mercy to people around you. You cannot expect to continue to enjoy the mercy of God when you refuse to show mercy to others, especially those that are under you. Jesus told a parable of an unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:23-35: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.  Preach the message of God’s mercy, His unfailing ever new compassion and His faithfulness: God’s mercies never fail; they are new every morning. It is not His will that any perish, but that all come to His knowledge and manifest His glory just like He originally intended when He made man. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1Timothy 2:13. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender

mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

Psalm 103:2-6. You must be a preacher of this message of God’s unfailing love.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit …ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Just like a sealed tin of milk cannot be infiltrated by external factors except a hole is punctured in the tin, so are you sealed against every attack as long as you are in relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Matthew 10:28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

[Revelation 21:8- But the fearful… shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. A man that lives in fear will not make heaven].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession will make God improve your skill so that you become better than your peers. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill …

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion… 2Timothy 4:16-18. Deliverance from all evil is sure for all those that are soul winners. A soul winner is valuable to God and so God will always watch out for the safety of such a one and deliver him from all plots of the enemy. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

TESTIMONY HEALED BY TRAVAIL PRAYERS I have been sick for the past eight months. I have taken a lot of drugs and done series of tests, I was told it was typhoid fever. I went to my husband’s church and they told me I was possessed and that I needed to confess. I told them I used to have bad dreams at times and that I had nothing to confess. My husband said he would take me to white garment church for deliverance to be conducted on me. One Friday night, I saw Pastor Samuel Osaghae in my dream, and then I made up my mind that if I come to him I will receive my healing. On one of the days of the Early Satisfaction programme, Pastor asked everyone to travail before God. I began to cry and call on God for my healing. As I was pouring out my heart to God, I suddenly felt His touch. I felt strength restored to my broken body and knew instantly that I Had received my healing. I could not walk or seat when I came to church but after the prayers, I could seat and walk without pain. Eight months of sickness was taken away as I poured out my heart in travail to God. God indeed is a prayer answering God.

DECEMBER 30 DEAD TO SIN Text: Romans 6:1, 2 Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, Psalm 114:3-4, 7. Consciousness of God’s presence shifts problems from you even without prayers. No matter how great the problem seems, when you take it into God’s presence, refusing to dwell on it but instead dwelling on the awesomeness of God’s presence that is constantly with you, the problem will melt away of its own accord.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. The agenda of the devil to make believers not to be married was defeated when Jesus didn’t marry. No child of God that seeks to marry will remain single because Christ’s sacrifice paid the price for your marriage.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it  The God that forbids living a habitual life of sin: Sin is repulsive to God; He cannot withstand it. Adam and Eve fell from grace and were sent out of the Garden of Eden when they sinned. There is always punishment for sin: the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Whenever sin is committed, something dies. Since He is a holy God, those that must relate with Him must do so with a heart of holiness. In the times of the

Old covenant, a priest had to thoroughly purge himself of every known sin before he went into the holies of holies. Even at that, a rope was tied to his ankle just in case the holy God, who cannot stand sin, beheld sin in him and struck him dead. If a priest was struck dead in the presence of God, he was dragged out with the rope attached to his ankle. This is how much God hates sin. He has not compromised His standard, He still hates sin as much as He did then. The difference today is that a righteous status is conferred on man by the sacrifice that was made by the Lord Jesus. However, even though there is a conferred righteousness, there still is a part that the believer must work out by himself. Just as much as righteousness is a gift, God expects us to live righteous before men. In 1John 3:7-8, the bible says: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. God wants your light as a believer to shine brightly before all men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16). God forbids that we continue in sin. The first time it happens, it may be excused as a mistake, but when sin becomes repetitive; it is no longer a mistake, but a deliberate act and will certainly attract God’s judgment. If you wish to have the best of God, then you must understand that He forbids a lifestyle of sin and will not by any means condone sin.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God Meditating on the personality of God brings blessings upon your life. Peter’s knowledge of Jesus made him blessed. In any area you know God, the curse in that area is broken. Matthew 16:13-19 - When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? … And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  Dead to sin: If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new, 2Corinthians 5:17. The day you gave your life to Christ, your past record of sin was wiped away and you were given a clean bill of righteousness. That day, you died to sin and resurrected to righteousness. God has given the grace to overcome sin to every one of His children. When Christ was crucified on the cross, He took upon himself the whole sins of mankind. When He was buried, our sins were buried with Him. When He resurrected, the power to overcome sin was transferred to us. A child of God that dwells perpetually in the consciousness of God’s presence will not struggle with sin because the presence of God does not condone sin.

We only sin when we lose consciousness of God’s presence. As long as we spend our moment to moment in the presence of God, sin will not have dominion over us. In Psalm 92:12, the bible tells us that the righteous shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Taking cue from the characteristics of the palm tree and the Cedar of Lebanon, the implication of this scripture is that all those that take up the two sides

of this coin will flourish in all aspects of their lives. They will enjoy unstoppable expansion. Every part of their lives will be productive and useful. They would be imperishable, will continue to increase in the midst of adversity, and will be priceless to God who is the Master and Owner of their lives. This is the heritage of every child of God because we are now dead to sin and alive to righteousness.

SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  We should no longer live as if we have sin as our master: We should not habitually live in sin. We don’t know people by miracle or signs and wonders; character is what stands you out as a child of God. Working signs and wonders does not qualify you for heaven.

Only those that doeth the will of the Father in heaven will go to heaven. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus said, “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity”. The wages of sin is death.. (Romans 6:23). Every sin has a consequence; no sin will go unpunished. Every time a person commits sin, something dies. It could be an expected miracle, a breakthrough etc. The reason a lot of Christians have delay in their manifestation is because they still dilly-dally with sin. Make up your mind to dwell consistently in the presence of God as this is the panacea for sin.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us (2Timothy 1:14). The Holy Spirit is the preserver of our possessions from God. It is only by consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit that our gifts from God are preserved.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Acts 4:13, 31- Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

[Boldness is a product of how much time you spend meditating on God’s word. If you meditate on God’s word, you will do exploits, but if you live without the word, you will have fear as your companion].

SECTION 8- Intercession Intercession will make God open the eyes of your understanding so that you will behold and understand things that are mysterious to others. See Daniel 9:20-22 - And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my

supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee … understanding.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 2Timothy 4:16-18. Divine preservation is one of the benefits of evangelism. As a Soul Winner, you are very relevant to God in His plan for mankind on earth and so His Mighty hand will preserve you.

The more involved you are in soul winning, the more life you add to your years. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

Theme: Manifestation of your supernaturality Romans 8:14- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 1Timothy 1:18- …according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.         

DECEMBER 31 OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH Text: Psalms 46:1-4, 7-9 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

SUGGESTED AREAS OF MEDITATION SECTION 1- Practicing The Consciousness of God’s Presence Selah: Holiness is not possible without consciousness of God’s presence. Any one that ever committed sin did so because he could not see God standing with him. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy (Joel 3:17). Your ability to overcome sin is tied to your knowledge of the fact that the Most Holy God dwells in you and sees all that you do.

SECTION 2- Knowing The Defeat of The Devil He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken, Isaiah 53:8. Christ’s life was cut short; He was the ancient of days that didn’t live His days. His short life was a price paid for our longevity. Therefore, our longevity is guaranteed. No one can kill you before your time on earth elapses. As long as you are in tune with God and His purpose for your life, you will fulfill your days on earth.

SECTION 3- Meditating On The Personality of God Meditate on this revelation and worship God with it



A very present help in trouble- manifesting at the right time: God never said His children will not go through trying times: but He assured us that when we do, He will be with us. His words to us are sure: He will never leave nor forsake His children (Hebrews 13:5). The Psalmist was well aware of this fact when he said in the 23 rd Psalm: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”. God allows certain challenges to come our way so we can be built up. Someone rightly said that challenges could be stumbling blocks or stepping stones, depending on how you see them. God will never allow a challenge that is beyond our capacity to handle to come our way. When trouble comes, just know that God is preparing you for your next level. The way you handle the situation will prove to God if you are ready for promotion. Our Father is never late, neither does He come too early; He steps in at just the right time. God is our refuge and our strength, our very present help in trouble. When the situation seem like it will swallow us up; we can reach out to His outstretched arm with full confidence that He is right there with us to grab our hand and deliver us. When the three Hebrew youths in Babylon refused to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, they were thrown into a fiery furnace as punishment for their disobedience. The bible tells us that the temperature of the furnace was so high that even the men that threw them into the furnace were consumed by the fire. This indeed spelt trouble for these Hebrew Youths; but in the midst of this trouble, God was with them. Daniel 3:24-25: Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. God stepped into the fire, loosened them from their bondage and made the heat of fire of non effect on these men that trusted him enough to risk their lives on His account. Take note that God did not show up when they were being accused, He did not show up when the King passed the death sentence on them, neither did He show up when they were being thrown into the fire; but at the right time, when they were in the fire, He came down into their midst and even King Nebuchadnezzar saw him. God manifests at just the right time. He is the God that never turns up late. No matter the trouble or challenge you are going through today, I want you to lift your eyes to the Most High God. For those that trust in Him will always end with a testimony.

Never forget that although weeping may endure for the night, joy comes in the morning, Psalm 30:5.

Benefit Of Meditating On The Personality Of God When you meditate constantly on the personality of God, you become a rock that is not easily shaken. Matthew 16:13-19 - When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? … And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…

SECTION 4- Meditating On The Personality of The Believer Meditate on this and give God thanks  The God of Jacob is our refuge: God spoke the following words to Jacob in Genesis 28:13-15: “I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of”. The presence of God with Jacob was so strong that God blessed Laban for his sake: And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. Genesis 30:27. When Jacob left Laban and Laban got offended and sought to do him harm: God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. Genesis 31:24. God’s presence with you is all the security you need. Trained Security guards and manmade security gadgets will fail you when it matters most, but they that put their trust in God will not be disappointed. The God that gave security to Jacob is not just my God; He is my Father. If he could relate with Jacob, a man that operated under the old covenant, to that dimension, then He certainly will do more for me who has a more current and authentic covenant of sonship with Him. SECTION 5- Meditating On The Responsibility of the Believer Ask God for grace to carry out this responsibility  Fear Not: No matter the seeming size of the enemy or challenge you are confronted with, it shrinks radically in size compared to the Almighty God. If the Almighty God is by your side, then tell me what should be able to intimidate you. Be still, don’t panic, Don’t fret or be afraid, but focus on the truth about His possibilities, for with God all things are possible. Luke 1:37.

SECTION 6- Our Daily Fellowship With The Holy Spirit But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you… (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit is the giver of power. As you fellowship with Him daily, you receive divine power for exploits in all spheres of life.

Three things you do to activate the Holy Ghost to function: (i) Worship Him (ii) Consistently pray in tongues (iii) Do not grieve Him with iniquity SECTION 7- Fear Not Scripture For Today.

Deuteronomy 31:6- Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

[Fear is a very strong belief in the occurrence of an evil that might never happen. It is precipitated by meditation on the wrong things].

SECTION 8- Intercession When intercession is made continually for all men and all those in authority, God is pleased and responds by granting peace to all men and to the nations. See 1Timothy 2:1-4 - 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.

Daily talk to God about people for their spiritual and physical needs to be met. We are also to intercede daily for peace in the land, for our political and spiritual leaders and for the salvation of sinners. (Ezekiel 22:30).

SECTION 9- Evangelism/Soul Winning Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Acts 5:17-20. When you are involved in evangelism, you cannot be kept perpetually in any form of imprisonment, be it financial, spiritual, academic, etc. God will always bring you forth from every issue that can limit your progress in life. Always talk to people about the love of God expressed by the sacrifice of His dear son, Jesus.

SECTION 10- Prophetic Warfare Prayer For The Week Note: Do not pray with a mindset of attacking humans. The devil is the enemy, not humans.

Attacking humans with prayers goes against love which is the basic principle of the New Testament Church. Also, do not pray as if the devil has not been defeated.

TESTIMONY I RECEIVED MY BABY DURING THE LAST EARLY SATISFACTION PROGRAMME My name is Mrs. Charity Agho. I got married in 2010 and for a while could not get pregnant. As I saw my period every new month, my anxiety began to increase. I attended early satisfaction 2012 and the major request I kept making was for the fruit of the womb. Three day to the completion of the programme, I saw daddy, Pastor Samuel Osaghae, in a dream. I was sitting and he walked past me and said “two boys”. I immediately understood this to mean that God was going to give me children. I knelt down and pleaded for a girl also, and he said one girl. I was so happy when I woke up. Amazingly, just before the end of the early satisfaction program, there was a prophecy that there were babies on the altar. I rushed to the altar and lay on the altar, claiming my own baby just like many other women who had same desire. I was supposed to see my period two days later, but I did not see it. I went for test and it was confirmed that I was pregnant. I put to bed a bouncing baby boy on the 30th of September 2012. Indeed I received my satisfaction early. All praise to the Most High God. Mrs. Charity Agho Join us for EARLY SATISFACTION 2013 From 2nd to 12th January, 2013 @ Believers Ministries Inc, 159/161 Upper Owina Road, off Agho, off Ekewan Road, Benin City.
