Bible verse: Proverbs 21:18
The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

Message
The wicked person is volatile, unpredictable, frightening, destructive and is given to sudden outbursts of rage. He is clothed in hypocrisy and lacks conscience because his ways are destructive.
The good news is that what a bad person plots against the good usually boomerangs; the plotter gets it in the end.
God will save the righteous by sacrificing their wicked enemies, and He will return their wicked designs against the righteous upon their own heads.

Beloveth, thou shall therefore not be envious at the prosperity of the wicked or be troubled by their hatred for the righteous.
You are to have a firm and well grounded confidence in God because the Lord will pluck the righteous out of trouble and put the wicked in his place.
Because God has declared that no enemy shall molest thee, do not allow the wicked ones to shift you from doing good and/or changing your living in holiness to bring you into their boats.
It is written: "he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of God's eye". Fear them not.

Prayer
Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men who devise evil things in their hearts; they sharpen their tongues as a serpent; while poison of a viper is under their lips.

Bible verse: Proverbs 4:17
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence

Message
Some people feed on wickedness.
Yes! they have delight in causing mischief, troubles, confusion and are always seeking means of drinking wine of violence.
They invent evil things, rumours and fake news because their minds are always working to take advantage of others, to mislead them, poison their hearts, frustrate their life and destiny.
They have no pleasure in righteousness, for it does not satisfy their cravings for mischief and harm.

Beloveth, the heart of a wicked man is to kill, to destroy, to hurt other people and he enjoys mischief and causing others to fall.
Because he is never contented, he is always looking forward to his next victim.
Beware of them, stay away from them so you don't fall into their traps because they will pollute your mind, destroy your future, redefine your destiny to their own taste.
Give the evil one no chance to penetrate into your life.

Prayer
Dear Lord, guide and protect me from those who eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
May I not fall their victim or be their prey in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Job 11:18
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

Message
Are you feeling discouraged and defeated, or experiencing lack of enthusiasm or having unfocused thoughts, or consumed with fear and ungodly behavior?
Then you are under the influence of fear, guilt, worry or insecurity.
You are to overcome this with boldness and confidence in the Lord because God has not given you the spirit of fear.
You are free from dangers and the fear of the unknown, of insecurity, of guilt and enemies; because of God's fatherly providence is watching over thee, when thou canst not watch over thyself.
Yes! Fear is not God's plan for your life. God has given you the spirit of boldness, of hope and of overcoming.

Prayer
Oh everlasting Father, empower me with Your fearless four - peace, confidence, love and courage and manifest Yourself powerfully to glorify Yourself in every aspect of my life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Message
Truth is something that has been proven by facts or sincerity - fact that cannot be changed.
Wisdom is prudent ability to discern and to know what is right.
Instruction is the directions and teaching from others wiser than you.
Understanding is comprehending the value and use of truth and wisdom.
Buy the truth, and sell it not.
And there is only one way to buy something - pay for it.
All buying requires ranking your desires because no man can afford everything.
Once you buy truth, do not sell it to anyone - keep it.
Others and even Satan, will try to buy it from you by offering you riches, pleasures or distraction that take you from truth.
They will do what they can to get you to play their games until you are a fool like them without any understanding and wisdom.
Every buying has a price to pay and not until the price is paid have you bought the good.
Truth will cost you friends, most prefer lies, superstition, and tradition
Understanding will cost you peace, for you will know the world's insanity while wisdom will cost you ease, for only fools believe and do anything they wish.
Beloveth, buy the truth; purchase it upon any terms, spare no pains nor cost to get it.

Prayer
Dear Lord, do not allow me to fall into the traps of those offering earthly treasures, pleasure or distraction in exchange of truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding in Jesus name.
Grant me the spiritual strength and ability to buy the truth, acquire wisdom, receive instruction, accept understanding and to ba able to pay whatever price is necessary to obtain them in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 18:16
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

Message
A gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of payment or anything in return.
Beloveth, we receive daily special gifts from God though many of us will never know and recognize them.
God do blessed us with diverse gifts: understanding, charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, forbearance, gentleness, faith, modesty, self-control and chastity.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, or if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are more than richly blessed with special gift.
You don't have to let your mouth get you in trouble by bragging and thinking it is by your knowledge and understanding, instead give God thanks for His mercy and kindness.
If you can hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, or you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder you are richly blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
The gifts of God could easily make room for you in whatever you are trying to do if you would only lift them up and appreciate God.

Prayer
Thank You for all the wonderful gifts You have given to me. Thank You for the things I am passionate about.
I pray You would open my eyes to the ways I can bless others using my gifts and give me courage to do it in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Message
Grace is extending kindness to the unworthy.
Grace gives us victory over sin and gives us eternal encouragement and good hope.
Beloveth, without the mercy and grace of the Lord, life can be very discouraging and be hard to keep one's spirits up, especially when you sustain one setback after another, when you carry a crushing load of unending responsibilities, when you feel weak and worn out and you are tempted to throw in the towel and give up.
Because God hath said: "My grace is sufficient for thee"; the grace of the Lord will grant you immeasurable spiritual riches, preserves you, comforts, encourages and strengthens you and turn your crosses into crowns.

Even when there are so many times you are facing trials and tribulations that you need to turn to God, but you wonder if He will provide you with the grace you so desire, do not relent and never give up.
Build more on your faith and God's grace will be sufficient to revive your hope, take you through any and all trials that you may face and through the darkest nights with a smile.
You are to look beyond your weaknesses and the pains to the glorious fruit that God has in the pipeline for your life?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I am asking that Your grace and mercy would continue to follow me all the days of my life.
Grant me Your mercy and grace to live my life to the full and to carry out the work and witness that You have prepared for me to do in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Isaiah 40:28-29
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Message
Beloveth, there is no searching of God's understanding because His ways and thoughts differs from the thoughts of man.
Is there anything too hard for our Father who measures waters in hollow of His hand and giveth power to the faint, who uses the unthinkable things to glorify His name?

Yes! you are seeing the turbulent sea before you, feeling the wicked ones surrounding you, the mountains you are facing is too high for you to climb or walk around and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Do not get upset.
You have to see beyond your present problem, the present turbulence, the disappointments and/or failures.
That situation you think is disaster is the very thing God is using to bring you to Himself.
Remember that those who wait upon the Lord shall not go weary but renew their strength.
God is not exhausted in His powers, His lights are always burning, He changeth not, He is merciful, He is love and able still to defend and guard His people.

Prayer
Father Lord, please take me by my right hand, lift me up and let my bones receive strength, let Your grace be sufficient for me and let Your strength make me perfect in all my weakness in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 13:18
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

Message
Instruction manuals are there to guide you to handle with care and to successfully operate your devices.
If your instruction say "connect your TV to 220 volts" but instead you connect to 380 volts the consequence might be very devastating.
Without reading your instruction manual you will not be able to know the does and don't.
You are responsible for every refusal of instruction given to you be it verbal, written or spiritual.

Beloveth, there is a basic requirement to receiving shame or honour, for riches or poverty, for success or failure - humble yourself to appreciate reproof and accept instruction.
It is the reading and meditating on the word that you will receive the hidden treasures against shame, failure and poverty.
The scriptures is fully packaged with diverse instructions to lead you to a fulfilled life, but you need to be conversant with them.
You are not to blindly follow instructions like many false prophets and false pastors have been preaching.
You are to test the spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to guide and direct you.

Prayer
Thank You Lord for the people You have divinely placed in my life who speak holy truth, love and words of wisdom.
Give me a heart of discernment to know when You are using someone to speak instruction into my heart and my circumstances, and give me the strength and courage to follow through with that advice, even when it is hard in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Amos 8:11-12
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord :
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

Message
Sending the famine of hearing the words of the Lord is to shut off from all communication with Heaven.
God has been very kind to this gereration.
He hath sent words and signs to convince His people to repent and turn away from their disobedience and from laying their treasures on the things of this world.
Yet! the world has turned deaf ears to Him instead, having joy in spreading fake news, shifting blames, self-centeredness and walking in unrighteousness.
Prosperity had carried away the hearts of the children of God from the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
We fail to mind the signs of the endtime - volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fire burning from forests to cities, kidnapping - yet the children of God are still not ready for a transformation of mindset.
Our non-appreciation of these privileges granted us is a sufficient reason for sending a famine in the land.
Beloveth, the Word is ours; let us listen to it with reverence and faith; let us obey it with diligence. "Walk in the light while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you."

Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray, in the mighty name of Jesus that You will not cause the sun to go down at noon, and darken the earth in the clear sky; and turn my feasts into mourning, and all my songs into lamentation.
Grant me the spirit of thankfulness and gratefulness of the heart and to appreciate the blessings and Your guidance.

Bible verse: Psalm 119:18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Message
The word of God contains His instructions and every believer needs the Word of God because it is our daily food, it is our guide and teacher - our strength and our defence and it is refreshment for our souls.
Yes! it is life and health - it is peace and light and it is joy and hope.
Do you know that the wondrous things concealed from our spiritual eye in the absence of spiritual light could be found in the book of Law and free of charge?
Yes! they include victory over sin, Lord's promises about His convenant to provide knowledge, wisdom, joy, love, prosperity, parenting, blessings, causes, protection, guidance etc.
As children of the most high God, we should treasure His Word in our heart that we might not sin against Him.
Unless and until God opens our spiritual eyes we shall not and cannot behold the wondrous things in God's law and it will be difficult to understand and pocess the precious and mervelous things therein.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I strongly desire to have spiritual light and give up those worldly pursuits which divert our attention from holiness and prevent us from knowing the hidden treasures.
Shower oh Lord, 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 in Jesus name.
