“And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.” Gen 13:2-6

When a man sent by God enters an environment, the ecosystem yields to him and begins to produce results. The location recognizes and responds to his divine mandate.

There is a grace that enables a man to prosper anywhere because the hand of God rests upon him. It is impossible to carry the blessing of the Lord and not prosper. Though you are in this world, you are not of it. Just as Abraham and Lot were so blessed that the land could not contain them, the Lord can lead you into embarrassing levels of prosperity.

Outwardly, Abraham’s family appeared small, but the blessing upon him was that of a great nation. Everything he touched reflected the magnitude of his calling because God treated him not as an individual but as a nation.

The Lord can cause you to produce results on the level of your calling! 

Abraham spoke the language of a king, a patriarch, and a man who had heard and been blessed by the Lord. A man blessed by the Lord talks differently. Understand the language of divine ownership. It takes greatness to speak greatness into another. 

From a distance, Sodom appeared desirable to Lot, but he failed to perceive the wickedness of its people and Lot chose to leave Abraham.

Lot failed to understand that his safety was tied to his proximity to Abraham. 

The greatest investment Lot could have made wasn’t in the land he saw but in a man (Abraham)  favoured by the Lord.

There is a problem when your level of discernment is limited to what you see. If your ability to see good and bad is limited to your sight, then it’s a problem. 

Lot’s discernment was limited to his eyes.

You do not make destiny decisions based on your sight. May your discernment be deeper than mere sight.

“Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

The Lord instructed Abraham to walk the length and  breadth of the land, for He had given it to him. Lot’s mistake was leaving before his training was complete. He thought the only principle required for ownership was that of sight. 

He believed his time with Abraham was over, but Lot’s early success became his danger.

How can you possess a land you haven’t fully studied? 

You cannot have great wealth and not expect invasion at some point.

The key to possession is to study and survey what the Lord has given you. Survey your promise. 

While Lot rested, Abraham studied the promise given to him by the Lord. With just 300 men, Abraham went to war against five kingdoms. He wasn’t merely raising shepherds; he was raising soldiers. He was functioning like a nation.

Welcome to the systems of a nation!

Having great wealth is one thing, but keeping it is another to protect the wealth that God gives you. Abraham didn’t just see but he knew the people and the land that was given to him. Devise a system to protect what the Lord has given to you. 

Don’t be limited to what you see; learn to think multi-dimensionally.

In 2025 study the dimensions of the promise given to you. Function like a king, a patriarch, a nation.

Most of us believe Abraham was the first to leave Ur in response to God's call. However, Genesis 11:30 reveals that Terah was the original visionary, the one who began the journey to Caanan. Something stirred within him, compelling him to leave Ur behind. Although the journey wasn't easy, the joy of fulfilling a vision was far greater than all the hardships he would endure.

However, in the place called Haran, tragedy struck—Terah’s son Haran died. This loss broke the spirit of the visionary. The one meant to carry his legacy was gone, and with him, Terah’s motivation to fulfill his calling. Terah, now broken in spirit, settled in Haran.

A man defeated on the inside cannot defeat things on the outside.

There is nothing more frustrating for a man to see the glimpse of how glorious his life can be but never but never walk into it.

It was here that the Lord spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12:1, reminding him that he wasn’t created to perish halfway. The calling comes to him because he was meant to finish the journey his father began.

Child of God, you were not meant to give up halfway or in mediocrity; you are called for something more greater and glorious. We are not a generation of just beginners but we are a generation who will finish what God has started in us. Don't abort God’s assignment over your life.

God doesn’t consult your family’s history before calling you—the Word qualifies you! With all your getting, get the Word! You don’t become a great nation by being surrounded by people or wealth; you become a great nation at the arrival of the Word. The Word transforms, qualifies, and equips you. When the Word comes, everything required for the journey comes with it.

“and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬

Out of all the people God could have chosen, He picked a family full of disadvantages. Despite being surrounded by evidence of his limitations, Abraham refused to trust what he saw in the natural and chose to believe God’s Word. Now God takes the greatest disadvantage and produces glory out of it. Only God can take your weakness and turn it into a strength.

Can you believe God and follow Him as if what you’re trusting Him for has already happened? Can you walk as though you are already in the Promised Land?

Faith isn’t an emotional decision; it’s a deep conviction. Faith takes a lot of planning and deliberate, intentional choices.

Terah took a break when he should have kept walking, while Abraham arrived in Canaan because he didn’t repeat his father’s mistake.

In transition, don’t take a break—rest can become a trap for the soul. Keep walking; we don’t take a break from the will of God; we don’t rest from the assignments of God.

When called to greatness, the temptation is not failure but little success. For Joseph, Potiphar’s house was a bigger trap than the prison. Small success is what destroys greatness.

The key to transition: Do not take a break till you arrive!

There is a reward for obedience. When God appeared to Abraham and promised him the land, Abraham’s first response was to build an altar. In the midst of those who claimed the land, Abraham raised an altar of ownership.

Abraham makes an invisible contract in the realms of the Spirit by raising an altar unto the Lord, he was marking the territory as his own.

When God speaks, many believers don’t know how to immortalize the promise. Seal the Word with an altar!

In the realms of the Spirit, the Word is established. God grants ownership by speaking the Word; you enter into that ownership by raising an altar and entering into a covenant with the Lord.

A stranger became an owner through a covenant.

2025 is the year of possession—exit transition and take possession of the Promised Land.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 

3 John 1:2 KJV

Prosper as your soul is prospering.

Your soul is the epicenter of your life, and its well-being is paramount. As your soul prospers, it overflows into every area of your life. To fulfill God’s plans, your soul must be in a healthy place.

This year, take care of your soul—feed it the things of the Spirit so it may rise from poverty to prosperity. A soul that is not prospering cannot grasp the moods and movements of the Spirit or comprehend what God is doing. It takes a healthy soul to live in God’s purpose and will and to steward the things He has entrusted to you. Remember, if a soul can progress, it can also regress.

Guard your heart, for out of it flow the issues of life. When you walk with God and grow in the Spirit, this one decision—to care for your soul and feed your spirit—can change everything.

The problem today is that outward growth often outpaces inward growth. Titles grow faster than spirituality.

But the shifts you make in your soul are your real growth. Become an internal giant!

1. Make contact with the presence of the Lord: 

This is the first order of the day! Each day, ensure you are aware of the living God’s presence in your life. You have the extraordinary privilege of entering His presence, yet this superpower is often neglected. 

Among all you can do in a day, what will have the greatest impact on your growth? What will contribute the most to your well-being? In God’s presence, you are fuelled. He is your bread and sustenance!

Develop a discipline of prayer. When you lack motivation, discipline will carry you.

Pray until you become aware of His manifest presence. And when you reach that sacred place, linger a little longer for you’ve gone beyond the ritual of prayer and into the reality of His presence. 

Has your soul captured God for the day? When it has, you’re equipped to face every challenge and defeat every demon.

2. Make contact with the voice of God: 

Jesus spent the night in prayer and during that time, He heard God for the next day. He knew the 12 disciples He had to pick because He had heard from God. 

Start with rhythms of grace. As you spend time in the Word every day, the Holy Spirit graduates you from reading the Word to hearing the Word.

3. Make contact with the altar : 

When you enter the presence of the Lord, bring something honourable, worthy of His presence - something that reflects your joy. Give out of principle.

Your giving is a free will offering between you and God.

  4. Learn to refuse your inferior desires: 

Learn to say no to the things that enslave you and yes to the things of God—this is what allows your soul to grow.

What you refuse to control will control you. Say no to the lesser callings and inferior desires of the soul, for these desires give the enemy an open door.

May you be liberated from every habit that holds you down. Strength to overcome comes from making contact with the presence and voice of God. Build your capacity for the things of the Spirit.

The promises received in the Spirit must be birthed in the Spirit. As you build your capacity, the Lord will bring His promises to life.

In 2025, may your soul prosper in Christ!

Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭4‬

1. 2025 - The Year of Transition:

Transition is your way into God’s will. This is a year of transition for many of God’s children.

God invited Abraham into His will and plan, and to walk in it, Abraham had to depart from his current location.

It is the Year of Departure—prepare to leave what you are familiar with and embrace what the Lord has for you. When you consistently miss your window of transition, a temporary season can become a permanent habitation.

Transition is designed to save you from death, irrelevance, and mediocrity. God allows transitions so you can leave a place of lack and enter into His abundance.

As with Elijah, the ravens and the brook were to sustain him only for a season. God's providence had moved, requiring Elijah to leave the wilderness and go to Zarephath, where a widow was divinely appointed to provide for him, and he, in turn, was to be a blessing to her.

Frustration is a sign that you have overstated your season.

Exit every environment where there is no divine demand for you. Arise and move out, for the Lord has something greater for you.

2. 2025 is the year God makes you His Prophetic Vessel:

This is the year to discover your design and thrive in your identity.

Abraham likely came from a wealthy family, but God’s call wasn’t about giving him a better life; it was about making his life relevant. Transition is your way into God’s will.

This year, embrace God’s blueprint for your life. May your life reflect God and take the form He has envisioned for you.

3. 2025 is the Year of Possession:

Abraham had to leave his father’s house and all he had known. God called Abraham alone, and only God can call a person alone and add to their life. It was God who called Abraham, made him rich, and established him. The only requirement for Abraham’s success was having God on his side.

When God brought Abraham to Canaan, the land was already occupied by kings, mansions, and armies. Yet God promised it to Abraham, revealing a new kind of ownership—a divine inheritance he hadn’t understood before.

2025 is the Year of Divine Ownership, the Year of Possession, and the Year of Taking Over! Nations will become your inheritance.

4. 2025 is the YEAR of your RISING:

As we read in Isiah 60:1-5 - As the Lord’s return draws near, gross darkness will cover the earth. Yet, in the midst of it, the glorious bride of Christ—the Church—will shine brightly.

This is your year to rise, shine, and walk in the glory of God’s purpose for your life.

Take over and command the year, beloved.

Join us for Part 3 of the series, 'Developing the Priest Within You' with Prophet Hari Rao, where we explore the profound stewardship and teaching role of a priest. Discover how Samuel, an able steward, prophet, and judge, exemplified managing God-given resources with excellence while leading others in the ways of the Lord. Learn why stewardship in the natural qualifies you for the supernatural and how prioritising God’s presence unlocks your destiny.

A Priest is an excellent Steward:

Samuel was an excellent steward of the territory God entrusted to him. As seen in 1 Samuel 7:16–17, each year he traveled to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah—establishing centers of power, teaching, preaching, and imparting the understanding of the Lord. He returned to Ramah, his home, where he continued to judge Israel and built an altar to the Lord.

Just as God holds us accountable for what He entrusted to us, Samuel exemplified wise and diligent stewardship.

Why does an almighty God, with an endless supply of resources, choose to manage them with such care? If He, who lacks nothing, values stewardship, how much more should we, who have limited resources, strive to steward them well?

Jesus cursed the fig tree that bore no fruit, reminding us that every child of God must eventually outgrow the tendency of solely depending on miraculous provision. In doing so, we risk becoming poor managers of the resources God has entrusted to us.

In the Old Testament, the people brought their sacrifices only once a year, but the priest had to offer sacrifices daily. He was required to manage his resources carefully to ensure the lamp remained burning every day—there was no miraculous provision of oil.

Could it be that in areas where God calls us to stewardship, we are instead waiting for the supernatural? To develop the priest within you, you must grow into an excellent steward of your resources. Your ability to manage the natural is what qualifies you to manage the supernatural.

A Priest is a Teacher of the Word:

 Every child of God is called to function as a priest within the boundaries God has assigned to them, carrying the holy responsibility to nurture and instruct their household in the ways of the Lord. Families are the smallest yet most significant jurisdiction God has established.

A place saturated with the Word becomes potent, leaving no room for the enemy to enter. The distortion of the Word allows the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy.

1 Samuel 8:3 speaks of Samuel's sons, who grew up not walking in the ways of the Lord. They bore the title of their father but failed to follow the ways of the father. If you learn the ways of the father, you will build what the father has built.

Every child of God is a living letter, constantly demonstrating to the world whether they should follow the Lord.

A priest watches, manages, and teaches!

Most of us approach the presence of God driven by a need, but when you come to Him, He always has something far greater prepared for you. In His presence, you never leave with just what you sought after. You come as a man but return as a king.

In 1 Samuel 9:20-21, Saul came searching for his lost donkeys but left with his destiny.  What he thought was a simple search led him to his anointing as king over a nation. In your pursuit of what’s lost, if you shift your focus to seeking the presence of God, you will return with far more.

God has a way of taking that which is lost and maneuvering you into His presence. You come seeking provision and leave stepping into purpose.

In finding Jesus, you find everything.

The ministry of a priest is a divine mandate. A priest lives in the spirit, not gratifying the desires of the flesh. They have gained mastery over that which enslaves a generation, walking in the authority and power that comes from a life dedicated to God. The function of a priest is to first birth the dimensions of God's calling within themselves.

Join Prophet Hari Rao as he continues to teach us how we can become true priests who are living altars unto God.

1.⁠ ⁠A priest has to master his flesh:

A priest has studied his covenant benefits and learned to crucify his flesh. When he steps before the people, he walks in the full strength of the Spirit.

In the Old Testament, priests relied on the system Moses introduced to cleanse sin; there was a way to approach God and an exhaustive list they had to study. The priest studied the law and administered it in the prescribed way and by doing so, the priest remained in God’s favor and managed the sin of an entire nation.

Samuel functioned as a legal authority, enforcing principles and approaching God based on the covenant law. His life commanded great results because he was a great student of that covenant. If Samuel could tap into power under an inferior covenant, how much more power and glory should we walk in, being saved and covered by the precious blood of Jesus?

Today, there is a famine of foundation among many believers. How can we enforce a reality we are unaware of if we haven’t studied and understood the provisions available to us? Do you know your covenant benefits as a child of God?

The priest must master life in the Spirit to subjugate the flesh and its desires. To have dominion over your flesh, you must learn to live by the Spirit.

  2. A priest is an intercessor:

His life is poured out as an offering. The ministry of the priest is the ministry of intercession.

A true intercessor is not speaking on behalf of the people but co-labouring with God. People are the beneficiaries of your life.

Intercessors are God’s midwives responsible for birthing realities.

If you want to grow in your priestly office, you must grow in the spirit of intercession.

The ministry of the intercessor is the bridge that connects God and His people; a bridge between the divine and the natural; it captures the invisible and pushes it into the visible.

The goal of an intercessor is to get the spiritual blueprint from God and birth it into reality.The ministry of intercession connects you to the end-time movement of God.  

 You cannot function in any of the fivefold ministries without taking on the mantle of an intercessor.

An Intercessor is the Salt of the Earth! They become watchmen over regions

People are beneficiaries of your life because you are not just meant to take people to God but to bring God to the people.

Develop the priest with you and become a living altar for Christ!

We welcome you to join us as Prophet Hari Rao teaches from the life of Samuel, showing us how to develop the priest within each of us - our highest calling and primary function in life

Even after Moses and Joshua led the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, they frequently sinned and rebelled, which resulted in their captivity. In the Old Testament, we see that God established a system of sacrifices to cover their sins and raised judges and priests as deliverers to rescue them. Although God was their King, He chose to rule through His representatives—the priests and judges.

While all sin is destructive, there is a particular kind of sin that leads people into captivity, giving the enemy dominion over their lives. 

This is often the consequence of persistent rebellion and disobedience to God’s ways.

1.⁠ ⁠When God is not honored in your life:

Dishonoring God is a sin that leads to captivity and allows the enemy to take over your territory, causing you to lose dominion. However, as long as you are walking in His precepts, even if you stumble, God has made a provision for your recovery.

2.⁠ ⁠When you become the God of your life: 

Where God is no longer the author of your life.

You’re a slave if you cannot walk away from that sin; it gains dominion over you, causing you to lose ground & become a principality in your life. 

Learn not only to walk in victory but also to sustain it. 

Dominion shouldn’t be a place of visitation; it must become a habitation.  

In 1 Sam 7, we read that, because of the presence of one man, God’s hand was against an entire nation. 

In the kingdom, God is not a respecter of people; he’s a respecter of principles. 

Samuel is a postcard; if you can glean from his life you can duplicate his results. 

When the entire nation, including the priesthood, had lost its way, the little boy, Samuel, ministered unto the Lord. He understood that he was an offering unto the Lord and that he had a priestly obligation over his life.

Prayer is not an option for a priest; it’s a divine obligation.

The primary function of the priest is a consistent prayer life. During the Mosaic law, the majority of what the priests did inside the Tabernacle was hidden. While the average Israelite brought offerings to the Lord about 3-5 times a year, the priest was required to minister in His presence daily, ensuring the lamp remained burning.

But today believers have mastered the outward life that is on display but fall short in the hidden parts. True power flows from the secret place of intimacy with God.

Samuel was a Levite from a priestly lineage, but he went from serving as a priest to walking in the office of a prophet and eventually ruled as a judge who anointed kings.  The priestly office is a birthing place.

You can’t develop the prophet in you if the priestly office in you is undeveloped.

4 areas you have to develop as a priest: 

-Pray Daily

-Worship Daily 

-Sacrifice Daily

-Make contact with the Word Daily

Your primary function is to operate as a priest, where you commune with God. Your outside life is evidence of your inside life.

Welcome back to our series on faith. Join us as Prophet Hari sheds light on the enemies of our faith and how we can manage them.

The bridge to anything in this kingdom is faith.

While those who are in the flesh cannot please God, faith is the quintessential property that pleases God. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). 

Faith is essential to prayer, holiness, giving, and every spiritual endeavor. Just as eyes are necessary for walking in the natural, faith is the sight for walking in the spiritual (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Man is an amphibious being with dual residency; he can dwell in the natural and function in the spiritual world. This is why Adam could have a conversation with God and also a serpent.

Adam needed faith not while God was present—he needed faith when God left, after walking with him in the cool of the day. It was in the absence of God’s immediacy that the serpent came to sow the seed of doubt. Sin in your soul corrupts and contaminates parts of you and you lose your capacity to interact with God.

The enemy cannot  defeat you until it contaminates your faith. 

By sight, Eve partook in death.She first gave it her sight and then her ears. Before the conversation with the serpent, the fruit, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, didn’t have a hold on Eve’s soul. But now it had her attention, her gaze; it is now her meditation.

Do you believe in the  picture that God is giving you or what the enemy was promising of a so-called greater reality? 

The righteous live by faith and not by sight. You fall by sight but rise by faith.

The number one enemy of your faith is your unredeemed senses or carnality.

What you hear or feel in the natural can be your greatest enemy in the life of faith. 

Your natural sense roots you in your natural world, but faith is a declaration of war on what you see, hear, and feel in the natural.

You cannot be led by what you see and hear. You need to have an internal compass that allows you to believe beyond what you see and hear.

How do you manage these enemies?

1.⁠ ⁠Guard the gate of your eyes:

You manage what you feed your eyes. Your eyes are the gateway to your soul. He who has your eyes has your soul. Your soul is informed by what you see. Choose what you will behold, what you will give your gaze to—retrain your soul.

2.⁠ ⁠Guard the gate of your ears:

The quality of sound you hear is the quality of sound you will produce. We are more sensitive to sound than we are to sight: sound creates sight.

3.⁠ ⁠Renew your feelings:

What you feel is the product of what you see, hear, and dwell on. Don’t allow your unredeemed feelings to dictate your destiny; we lead our lives by faith and by conviction in the truth of God’s word. We are not limited by our feelings; we are carried by the Spirit.

Once you learn to master your natural senses and discern what is coming from your soul and what is coming from your spirit, you are no longer a slave to what you see, hear, or feel.

 Now your senses are redeemed and used by God to empower you and become a prophetic instrument in the hands of the Holy Spirit. Because your body, soul, and spirit were all made for God. 

Learn to discern, redeem, and be transformed.

Welcome back to our series on Faith with Prophet Hari Rao! Join us today as we discover how faith is the core principle that shapes every area of our Christian life—by faith, we are saved, transformed, empowered, and equipped. Listen in and build your faith!

By faith, you are saved:

Salvation is not a result of your works but a gift received through faith, by grace. The Holy Spirit unveils Christ and births the faith needed for salvation within you. Jesus Christ is a revelation. This faith is the result of the Holy Spirit convicting you and enabling you to see Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The gospel raises the spiritually dead to new life in Christ. Through faith, you now possess the greatest gift in the universe: salvation.

By faith, you become the righteousness of God:

Righteousness is to stand before a holy God without guilt, condemnation, or conviction of wrongdoing. This righteousness is not your own; it is imputed to you by God, it lends you the power to stand.

He who knew no sin became the embodiment of sin, for us who knew no righteousness to become the righteousness of Christ. Righteousness is the very nature of God. When we come to Christ, we are not merely forgiven but transformed.

By faith, you receive the life of God inside of you:

By faith, you become the custodian of the very life of God. The Spirit of God is the very life of God, and the arrival of the Spirit is the arrival of God.

This life is the source of many rivers, making you a walking, talking, mobile river of God. You carry His life wherever you go.

Ministry is the distribution of the God life. Where you are not just a beneficiary of this life, within you flows the life of God, transforming you into a divine distribution center.

By faith, you receive the Power of the Almighty God:

By faith, you receive the power of the Almighty God to establish dominion and His kingdom on earth. The difference between life and power is that the presence of God waters you, while His power flows through you to water others.

Everyone who operates in the gifts of the Spirit does so by faith, receiving the gifts by faith and functioning in them through faith.

By faith, you have sight in the supernatural:

Faith gives you eyes in the invisible. By faith, you receive divine communication, to be led, instructed, and access information from God. Without faith, you cannot hear Him. Every encounter with God is an encounter of faith

Stir up and build your faith!

Faith is the currency of this Kingdom. The kind of faith you possess determines the results you produce. From little to great faith, every believer must embark on a journey to grow in their trust and revelation of God. In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao shows us how to grow in great faith.

Varying Degrees of Faith:

We all possess faith in varying degrees and capacities. Some possess common faith, while others operate in unusual faith. There is a direct connection between the degree of faith and the results you will produce in life. Faith can grow or diminish based on your walk with the Lord and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We must develop every area of our lives. Don’t disqualify yourself when you find your faith lacking in one area; faith in one area can be developed and applied in another.

Faith, when applied in every area, leads to a transformed life. We navigate life through faith. Faith is your internal compass that leads you to destiny.

Faith Requires Revelation:

Faith is fuelled by revelation knowledge of God. Great faith is a product of you seeing and knowing how Great God is. Faith requires that you show up like everything is already done for you! You don’t have great faith because you are great; you have great faith because you have a great revelation of this God, having beheld and believed Him in a dimension no one in your generation has.

The reason we struggle in life is because we lack sight. Faith is sight in the invisible. Your relationship with God produces a correlating faith.

Practical Applications of Faith:

Faith as Sight: Faith is sight in the invisible, allowing you to see the invisible and believe the impossible.

Faith as Currency: Faith writes the cheque for everything you need, unlocking God’s provision

Faith in Action: Faith requires showing up as if everything is already done, fully trusting in God’s limitless power.

Great Faith: A Goal for Every Believer

Great faith grants you the privilege of tailor-making your outcomes! Great faith ignites great dreams within you and empowers you to believe in God for visions beyond yourself.

Let this teaching ignite in you the hunger to grow from little faith to great faith—faith that transforms impossibilities into testimonies.

Grow in Great Faith. Believe for the impossible. Show up and watch God move!
