1 Corinthians 14:4 (KJV)

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

There is power to be realised through prayer. Apostle Paul realised this power for him to thank God that he spoke in tongues more than all the people that were there. He was reaping the benefits.

Today, I want you to realise the power you wield through prayer and how to channel it so that you see the manifestation of your prayers. When you pray in tongues, you edify yourself; like a generator, you generate power. But that power has to be channelled to where it is required to take effect, just like a power generator has to have cables connected to the appliances that need the electricity. Similarly, the power you generate must be channelled to the thing you are praying for. Your thoughts must be focused on it, and you must visualize and see the answer. As you speak, your words are containers carrying the power to the thing you are praying for. Keep pushing until you get a note of victory!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a power generator, and my words are the containers transporting that power to that stubborn situation. It will bow, in Jesus’ Name! Glory be to God.

Proverbs 10:22 (KJV)

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Did you hear that? The blessing of the Lord makes you rich with no strings attached. When God blesses you, you are blessed indeed. Notice that it is a singular blessing that contains everything you need in life. It compels you to be rich. The kind of prosperity without any stress, pain or suffering. This is the kind of life God wants you to have.

He says, "Labour not to be rich, cease from your own wisdom” (Proverbs 23:4). Focus on the blessing. As a child of God, your life must be a life of abundance. So, awaken to this reality of who you are now and what has been bestowed upon you. Be blessing-conscious and take advantage of the promises of God. You are the rich in Christ discovering your riches. Do not let the enemy whisper anything different to your ear.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The Blessing of the Lord rests upon me. I am too blessed to be stressed. My eyes are open to discovering my riches in Christ. Riches with no sorrow in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Matthew 6:33

Revelation 5:8 (KJV)

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

When you pray, your prayers are collected into golden vials, which are presented as a sweet-smelling savor before God. Visualize it as you pray, see your prayers coming before God as a sweet aroma pleasing to God. Your prayers are well pleasing to God!

There is then no way that God would receive and enjoy your prayers and then leave you without a resolution. The Bible says that this is the confidence that we have, that when we pray, God hears us. And because He hears, we have our petitions granted, hallelujah! So, as you pray, know that you are making literal deposits which are being collected in Heaven as a sweet-smelling odour before God.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am the apple of God’s eye. Tattooed in the palm of His hands. He even numbered my hair and collects my tears. I am truly His beloved in Jesus' Name! Amen.

Psalms 56:8

Acts 12:5 (KJV)

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Have you ever seen a hen laying on its eggs, carefully turning them and ensuring they have the right temperature regardless of the conditions around it? It is laser-focused on ensuring the right conditions for the eggs to hatch at the right time.

Here, we see the church entering into an incubation mode, praying for Apostle Peter without ceasing. They kept pressing till an angel of the Lord was dispatched to break Peter out of prison. Sometimes, you need to get into an incubation mode as you brood upon the desired outcome on a matter until you get that note of victory in your spirit!

Realise today the power you have through prayer and start utilizing it accordingly to bring about change in your life and in the lives of other people. Spend quality time in prayer, even like Elijah who put his head between his knees until he got the desired outcome.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I exercise my God-given ability to bring into manifestation the desires of my heart through prayer in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

1 Kings 18:42-45

Jeremiah 51:20 (KJV)

Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms.

Imagine that. When God reaches into His armory to grab a weapon to wield on the battlefield, He grabs YOU as His choice weapon! If it is healing He wants to minister to someone, or the GoodNews that He needs delivered, or if it’s finances that He needs to channel for Kingdom business, it is you that He grabs. You are the one God calls on to enact His will.

That should tell you that there’s nothing ordinary about you! You are the new Superman in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), which the devil and his cohorts are not accustomed to. Today, as you go about your business, go about it like a heat-seeking missile that has been fired to obliterate any obstacle hindering your progress, hindering the move of this GoodNews message.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am God’s choice weapon of war. Wherever I am deployed, I yield results and bring in spoils of war in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

Proverbs 10:22

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)

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.

God’s love for us is truly unconditional and knows no bounds; even whilst we were yet sinners, Christ died for us all. Regardless of contrary thoughts, beliefs and traditions, He still loves us and waits patiently for us to turn to Him. Even after we turn to Him, His mercies are renewed every morning, forgiving us of our shortcomings.

It is very important to be conscious of the love of God toward us. Be conscious of the clean slate that we have every day. This is not a license for us to live in sin, but as you are more conscious of it, you will also start to walk in that same Spirit of love. Resist the enemy for he will have you stay in the realm of sin consciousness and self-condemnation.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am the apple of God’s eye; nothing can ever separate me from His love. I live a blessing-conscious life in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Romans 8:35-39

Matthew 3:11 (KJV)

…He shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.

John’s baptism was of water unto repentance, but the Lord Jesus’ baptism was of the Holy Ghost and fire. You are sealed with the Spirit and a powerhouse of fire, more than enough power to break through any obstacles that may stand in your way.

You see, when you speak, your words are not the power, but they are vessels which carry power. That power comes from a place of prayer, a place of meditation. Just as you would see the Lord Jesus coming from the mountain and commanding demons to flee, from today, as you consistently bank prayer, be conscious of your speech, as your words will carry the power to effect change in any situation. Visualize it, even as you pray in tongues, and see that problem disappearing as it burns.

Even soul winning is easy when your utterings are seasoned with fire, your words will deliver a strong conviction that will turn hearts and minds to the Lord Jesus Christ.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a firebrand speaker. My words are loaded with power. Every time I utter words, hearts are convicted, the sick get healed, and miracles happen, in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Romans 1:16

Ecclesiastes 10:7 (KJV)

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

Can you imagine, as a parent, seeing your child living a beggarly life, yet you gave them more than they could ever need for them to thrive and live a very luxurious life? Not only that, but also seeing those resources being squandered by the very people who are supposed to be subjected to your child.

Now imagine the pain that God experiences as He looks at His children suffering and begging Him for a breakthrough from the hardships of life. Yet, He has given all things they need in abundance. Let today be the day that that story changes in your life as you awaken the giant in you and claim what is rightfully yours. Ascend to that higher life of prosperity and dominate in the Name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am called into a life of abundance. In this Year of the Chainbreaker, lack is not my portion. The lines are fallen for me in pleasant places, and I have a goodly inheritance in the Name of Jesus! Amen.
