Bible verse: Hosea 6:1
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

Message
Beloveth, there's nothing as failing as someone in misery whose complaining and whining attitude makes everyone soon withdraw and separate from one.
When there is a lack of spiritual power or the way is rough, or patience diminishes, or one looses focus, or becomes doubtful of the love and mercies of God - then one need to be revived.

No matter what you are going through the previous months and the mountains that seem to block the way ,and no matter the ashes that erupted from the volcano making the road rough and partially unreachable yet the Lord is there stretching His hands out for you to come closer to Him.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus and heaven with its glory and grace will invades your condition.
God will refine and purify you, and then He will fill you with His power. The failures, economic lockdown, losses, disappointment, distress and destruction of the past months will surely give way to progress and success. God will move swiftly and take over all those issues bothering your life in which you have no control over.
Therefore, in all things recognize God is in control, give thanks and remember, you are never alone.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for Your mercies and for accepting me despite my shortcomings.
Oh merciful God, let Your love guide, motivate and protect me and guard me with courage to always return to you like the prodigal son in Jesus name.
Cause Your face to shine upon me, Lord, and let Your presence overshadow my life and let me be a special testimony in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Kings 4:2 contd.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

Message
It takes a lot of faith, a lot of trust, humility, obedience and determination as well as lack of pride for one to experience the supernatural power of God.
Are you desperate for God to intervene in your situation? Seek the help of God through prayers and/or His anointed ones.
Recognize that God is the source of your help and consolation.
The blind Bartimaeus, despite opposition and discouragements, cried unto Jesus "Son of David, have mercy on me".

Don't be too proud to cry out to God for help?
Do not look at your circumstances and allow them to dictate whether you will listen to God or not, or allow those circumstances to distract you from divine instruction.

This widow didn't know what would happen, but she needed to decide that she would trust God anyhow, regardless of the outcome. Not only did she listen to the prophet, but she trusted that somehow in the midst of this divine instruction that didn't make any sense at all, following God was still the best way forward for her life and for her family's life.

Peter, a professional fisherman, struggled the whole night and caught no fish. Jesus asked him to throw his net at the harbour which did not make any sense to him, but not knowing what would happen obeyed and threw his net.

God does extraordinary things in people who are obedient and have little or nothing, just like this widow, who has nothing but a pot of oil but decided: "Iam going to confront him with my condition; I am going to ask him; I am going to trust him; and I am going to listen for his voice."

Beloveth, when you don't know what to do, appeal for help from above. Do not look to God as your last resort when God should be your first resort.
Cry out saying, "God, I need You to come to my rescue. God, I need You to come to my aid." He will surely hear your cry and send favour.


Prayer
Dear Lord, You are able to meet every need, move every mountain, and solve every problem. Your provision knew no limits in the widow's case, I pray that Your provision know no limits in my situations in Jesus name.
Do not allow any circumstance to distract me from Your dependency and Your divine instruction even when it doesn't make sense to me in Jesus name.
When the circumstances are desperate and dire grant me the courage and ability to make You my first resort in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Kings 4:2
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

Message
God does extraordinary things in the lives of ordinary people who are willing to trust Him with what they have.
What have you been going through and under which circumstance have you been living?
Which red sea is before you, which storm or calamity and which stone is keeping you in captivity?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just didn't know what to do - maybe you had a big decision to make, or maybe you were faced with a major crisis or maybe you did something stupid?
Have you ever come face-to-face with the challenges and contradictions of circumstantial hardship and crisis, like this widow standing in the midst of a crisis?
What do you do when you don't know what to do and from whom to seek help and advice?
Do you feel it worthy to be thankful to God for the little you have?

Beloveth, there is a great pandemic on the planet earth and God has kept you and your loved one safe and healthy.
That little thing in your possession is enough for sacrifice and surely God shall send favour and multiplication.

When you reach the end of your rope, call upon God, take those problems and calamities to Him.
God is able to meet every need, move every mountain, and solve every problem.
His provision is limited by nothing but your faith.


Prayer
Heavenly Father, I know that only good comes from You and that You will deliver me from trouble, just as You delivered the widow from all challenges she faced.
Teach me to draw upon the well of water within, to know that every demand made upon me is a demand made upon You and that the little I have shall be multiplied by Your supernatural power in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Exodus 1:7
And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Message
God has promised to make everything beautiful for you and your family therefore you have nothing to worry about.
Yes! our Lord has taken over every evil plan meant to cause havoc in your life, every attempt of the enemy to tamper with your joy, every storm or calamity that is meant to block your success or to destroy your integrity and what God hath blessed you with so that you can increase abundantly, and multiply, and wax exceeding mighty.

Beloveth, you are to remain focused in the Lord. And do not let the laws of the Lord depart from you and remember to have a heart of repentance, of forgiveness, of compassion, of love and guard you tongue because it is written: "death and life are in the power of the tongue".

Prayer
Thank You Lord, that You have offered me forgiveness, mercy and the gift of new life in You.
Thank You for Your blessings on my storehouse, the abundant increments and in all that I set my hands on to do.
Deliver me from all fears, and lead me to having a truly grateful heart for all of the gifts, miracles and blessings You have given me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 10:16
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be more stiffnecked.

Message
The heart and soul is basically the core of who we are - the way we act and the way we think and the way we express yourself.
If you have the wrong attitude, like the Israelite - complaining, grumbling and murmuring; you will not remain true to God and you will consider His word to be a burden rather than a joy.

You are to work at becoming more loving, holy and righteous, study God's word and all things to know Him more and having a transformation of mindset.
Whatsoever you offer to the Lord with sins in your heart and without repentance there will be no blessings and it could cause curses and the wrath of God.

You must never allow yourself the luxury of leaving God out of your plans either out of ignorance or lack of knowledge and spiritual understandings, or lack of trust and believe else you will suffer the consequences for that foolish and arrogant decision.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray that I may maintain a circumcised heart, to Your praise and glory as I trust in Your word and walk in Your ways so that I may grow in grace, and in a knowledge of my Lord and Saviour in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Colossians 3:23-24
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Message
Doing something for God means doing something to receive the Lord's reward.
Doing something for God takes your focus off impressing others with your obedience, and puts your focus on seeking joy in God through your obedience and walking in righteousness.

Remember, God has no needs, He is completely self-sufficient in the joyful fellowship of the Trinity.
And He is looking out for those who put their trust in Him, who could serve Him wholeheartedly to deliver, to protect and bless them.
Yes! He requires that we fear Him, walk in all His ways, to love and serve the Him with all our heart and with all our soul.

Beloveth, when you are doing what God has put in your heart to do, you can expect some opposition, even from other believers you know and trust.
Regardless of the opposition, you need to be bold enough, like Daniel, to step out and do what you believe God is saying.
Beloved, you are to put everything you have into whatever you do heartily without having the aim of impressing anyone.

Prayer
Thank You Lord for the reward of inheritance as I serve You wholeheartedly.
Thank You Lord that You are producing in me great endurance through the hard places.
Shower Your spiritual illumination upon my head to supply my spiritual eyes with light and open thou mine eyes that I may behold and admire the spiritual truths and look up to the precious things revealed in Your Law in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalms 108:3-5
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Message
Beloveth, to be able to speak and not to be a dumb animal is a glory, therefore your voice should show forth your praises.
To know God, enjoy His mercies and not to be a heathen, your instructed intellect should adore the Lord.
To be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a saint and no more a rebel therefore the grace you have received should bless the Lord.
Mercy you have received is greater than the mountains before you, therefore let your inmost life celebrate His majesty.

Do not hesitate to use your intellect, your tongue, your poetic faculty, your musical skills, or whatever else causes you to be renowned, and confers honour upon you to praise and magnify the Lord.
This is your week of celebration.

As you worship the Lord with a heart full of gratitude and thanksgiving, as you honour Him with praises, God will cause those mountains, those Goliaths and those agents of the devil confronting you to be removed and casted away.
God will open heavens, pour down blessings and you will experience divine favour.
Yes! your adversaries shall be exposed and be put to shame and your joy shall be full.

Prayer
Thank You, dear heavenly Father, for launching me into a perpetual season of favour and endless opportunities.
Let Your divine love transform my concern and fear into peace and calm as I move and operate in excellence by the power of the blood of Jesus and asking You to be a harmonizing force within my life in the mighty name of Jesus.
