Bible verse: Revelation 16:4-6
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Message
At the beginning God spoke the word, creating heaven and earth. At the end God will have the final word to declare when the angel shall pour out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters.
That it has not yet happened is because of Jesus, who shed His blood for our salvation, pleading on our behalf.
The world today is full of iniquities of injustice, rampant abuses, and widespread suffering, anger, disgust, insincerity, cult practices, kidnapping, false prophecies and manipulations.
Beloveth, impurity is the sin God most hates and it was this that provoked the wrath of God against Sodom and Gomorrah and that led to the flood during Noah's time.
The Lord God almighty is true and His judgments are rightly distributed.
To escape the wrath of God and be one of those that shall rise up with Christ Jesus you must have a sincere and honest heart without malice, treachery, or evil intent.
You cannot clean your heart with ordinary words but full acknowledgement of your shortcomings and sin and repent of them.
You have the sea before you and Satan is coming with his soldiers and bulldozers behind you.
If you repent and seek God, God is ready to open the sea so you can freely and confidently walk on dry land to the other side and escape the kingdom of Satan.

Prayer
Father God, empower me to be obedient to your Word as I reject every attitude of timidity and claim a mind of boldness in the name of Jesus.
Uproot in me any of the works of the flesh, that would war against Your holiness in me in Jesus mighty name.

Bible verse: Zechariah 9:12
Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

Message
Hope is the anticipation of a future possible good.
Hope gets us through when we are spiritually ready but it also sees us flounder when things are awry.
Hope pushes us on but it can also tires us.
Being a prisoner of hope means that you have every opportunity for repentance, for turning away from sin for seeking the Saviour, but you think that God's time of mercy for you has not yet come.
You need to have more of the world and wait like the lame man in the Bethesda porch waiting for the moving of the water.
Yes! you are imprisoned within the boundaries of hope, confined to an eternal safe imposed house arrest and safe-house of conscience.

Can you be quite sure that when the moving of the water does come, you shall be perfectly able to step down at once and secure your healing?
Do you know you might not have that opportunity and that the trumpet can start blowing at any moment?
It is an imprisoning hope that keeps you from responding to the offers of divine grace now because now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation, now is the time to receive deliverance from being prisoners of hope, now is the time to forsake those things that are contrary to the teachings of Christ and to the law of the Lord.
Now is the time to make an end to your gossip attitude, your unguarded mouth, your wicked and evil thoughts, your pride and provocating attitude, slander, deceit, fraud, evil speaking, unforgiving heart etc.
Beloveth, if you do not secure the opportunities of salvation that come to you now, on what ground do you hope that you shall seize some opportunity that may come by and by?
Satan is happy to see you a prisoner of hope and he will do all he can to encourage you to be conformed to this world.
Yet there is the good news: let not your heart be troubled because God promised to give double unto those prisoners of hope - double of all that they expect then they come to our Lord.
Tap into it now and testify to the Lord.

Prayer
Dear Lord, guard me from the shallowness and self-focus and lead me to that inner peace that can only be found in You in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ephesians 1:22-23
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.

Message
The human head is home to all the body's major sensory organs: the eyes, ears, nose and tongue inside of the mouth and it also houses the brain.
Together, these organs function as a processing center for the body by relaying sensory information to the brain.
But without a healthy brain, all major sensory organs will be rendered useless.
The church in comparison with the human head, comprises of apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, workers of miracles, those with gifts of healing and of various tongues yet without a good functioning brain the church will be rendered useless and valueless.
And that brain is Jesus, and the word of God. No pope, no pastor, no apostle, no minister, no elder except Jesus Christ is the head of the church.
Beloveth, at this end time, there are many misconceptions about what the church is supposed to be.
Yes! it should be the place where you can connect to the head - Jesus, connect to the power above all powers, come in contact with the name which is above all names, and that you cannot be held back by a limited view of who God is. Not a place where prosperity is the syllabus but the word of God and the teachings of redemption, forgiveness, love and kindness.
It is a place to learn and be convinced that God is bigger than your situation, that your life is not subject to the power of the economy, or the power of your employer, or the power of public opinion/environment, or the power of the government or enemies.
Jesus is the head over all things to the church and He is not just powerful, He is All-Powerful, not just wise, He is All-Knowing, not just loving, He is Love.
He is above all demons, all angels and archangels, above every man and Satan.

Prayer
Dear God, thank You that You are a loving, gracious God.
Thank You that Your love is perfect, it never fails, and that nothing can separate me from Your love.
Thank You Jesus for giving me the opportunity to know You and for the gift of using Your precious name.
Thank You, Lord, that I have an inheritance in the heavenly places.

Bible verse: Haggai 2:9
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Message
God wants you to see His perspective; looking to the future with hope.
He doesn't want you to just live in the past because the best is yet to come.
Your attitude affects your ability to persevere and remember the attitude provides the motivation.
Joshua and Caleb had the right attitude of trust in the Lord.
Expect the enemy to try to discourage you because you are in a battle with the forces of darkness that are opposed to your greater tomorrow.
But you should not blame or criticize others for your past failures, don't let your perspective get trapped in the good old days, be on guard against negative or pessimistic thoughts.
Beloveth, keep in mind that in all your troubles the Lord understands and cares for you and therefore give Satan no place in your mind.
Believe that the best is yet to come as you get yourself out of your comfort zone allowing God to do something great because His promise of the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former is authentic.

Prayer
Dear Lord, fill my mind and heart with hope an peace, keep my feet from every snare and grant me the wisdom to know what I must do, the will to want to do it, the courage to undertake it, the perseverance to continue to do it, and the strength to complete it so that the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former in Jesus name.

All sorrow and obstructing mountains standing before you, all enemies of progress those Sanballat, witches and wizards will be overcome and banished and you shall be released from every bondage you indirectly or directly lured yourself into.
Yes! God is planning that you will be happy and there will be peace of mind as you are ending this decade flying with abundant of blessings and favour into the new decade.
God has planned and He is planning that good and beautiful things in His creation be preserved for your exhilaration.
You should acknowledge your unfaithfullness and pray earnestly for renewal of mindset and with love accept God's words and instructions knowing fully that God wants true righteousness that seeks and trusts Him.

Prayer
The Lord of mercy will bring the peace I long for and I shall be victorious.
Thank You Lord that You shall manifest Yourself powerfully to glorify Yourself in every aspect of my life.

Bible verse: Ephesians 3:20 contd.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Message
Do you have trust in His power and ability of God to do all things?
Do you believe that you can be filled with the fullness of God?
Do you have the confidence that God, the provision provider, can prove all that you ask for or think of?
Are you looking at your problems in the light of your ability to handle them or in the ability of God?
Are you prone to give up hope when you are in uncomfortable and hopeless situation?
Do you through unbelief fail to heed to instructions, prophecies and/or counseling?

Beloveth, when God asked Abraham to offer his son to Him as a sacrifice on a mountain, and he saw the place afar off after 3 days journey, trusting God and with confident that God will provide a lamb instead of his son Isaac said "I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you".
He did not doubt the ability of God or ready to give up hope even when his son asked "where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
He did not know how God was going to do it, he just knew that He would.
Yes! He was not dealing with the limitations of man, but with the unlimited ability of God.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to the kings image and were threatened with death and thrown in the burning fiery furnace. They have the confidence that Gd will deliver them.

Beloveth, it is true that very often we measure the seriousness of our situations according to man's power to deal with them not with the ability of God to deal with them or we are trying to figure out how God might solve them.
It is so important that we learn to look at things according to God's ability because He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or can think of.
Those things that we would not even think about asking or thinking possible are the very things He specializes in doing and there is not a single person who is beyond the boundaries of His love except he/she lives in sin and not ready to repent of His/her iniquities.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, as I face tough choices and hard situations, help me to remember Your unlimited ability to crave Your presence more than I crave sin and let Your will and promises always be a meditation of my heart so I can enjoy those things that are exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think of in Jesus.

Bible verse: Ephesians 3:20
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Message
To exceed is to go beyond expectations, or to go too far. Abundant means more than adequate; over-sufficient.
God does His things beyond expectations, over-sufficiently above all human senses and thoughts. His way surpasses the imagination of any living being on this planet.
Yes! His power are demonstrated in His miraculous actions, sound and uncompromising judgment.
- With His words He created heaven and earth and all the living things.
- God directed Moses and the Israelite to leave Egypt by a route where they had the Red Sea in front of them and the pursuing Egyptian army behind them with no human means of escape. He miraculously opened the sea so that the Israelite could pass through, but He closed the sea over the Egyptian army.
- When Peter was imprisoned, chained to two guards, inside a locked cell, with more guards outside the locked iron outer door, God sent an angel who caused Peter's chains to fall off, led him through iron doors, past all the guards, and out into the streets as a free man.
- When there was famine in the land and it was soooo bad that women were eating their own children in order to survive, the Lord, caused the invading army to hear the sound of chariots and horses instead of intruding lepers, so that they panicked and fled, leaving all of their supplies behind thereby providing exceeding abundantly above all they could imagine.
- He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone for their disobedience and unwillingness to repent.
- He unleashed the ten plagues on Egypt and then destroyed the Egyptian army in the sea.
- He confused the languages of the proud men at the tower of Babel.
God is not only there to bless you exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think but He is willing to forgive you your sins as you repent or you will face His wrath if you are unwilling to repent.
Beloveth, to receive exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think of, you must be obedient to God's word, live righteously, show love and you must be on guard against the temptations or facing impossible trials.

Prayer
Dear Lord, may Your words be like a lamp that lights my way, Your peace be like a measure that guides my decisions, Your truth be like a signpost bringing clarity into ways, thoughts and direction so I can receive exceeding abundantly above all that I ask or think of in Jesus name.
