Proverbs 25:2 (KJV)

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

God takes pleasure in hiding things. His intention is not to keep them from you but for you to experience the joy of discovering all He has provided for you. He has made it easy because He has hidden everything in His Word. The Bible contains esoteric knowledge: mysteries of God that are kept hidden from unbelievers but are freely given to His children. All that you need is wrapped up in the Word. All you have to do is find the Word you need!

It is not just truth but the truth you know that makes you free in your health, finances, relationships, spirit, and every other area that requires salvation or deliverance. Spoon-fed Christians are limited to the knowledge that is given to them via other people who teach and preach the Word but the mature Christian understands that God’s design is for you to supplement what you are taught by "searching out a matter” for yourself. 

That’s what kings do. So, when you need truth on a particular subject, circumstance, or issue that you want changed, search for it in the Word. The Holy Spirit will see to it that you find what you need, and you will never be disappointed. So, cheer up! The Word works!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The Word is forming the character of Christ in me. I am a Word practitioner, reaping the benefits of every good thing God has provided for me. I decree and declare, my life is filled with pleasantness, abundance, riches, honour, and glory!

2 Peter 1:3 (ESV)

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.

Poverty is not the absence of resources or money. It is the absence of imagination. People often ask me, "how do I become rich when I don't have the money to start a business?" My answer is, if you want money to start a business, you are not a business person. What you need is intellectual capital – an idea. Every successful business person started with an idea. 

What’s more, you have an even greater advantage than the average person because the favour of God differentiates a Christian from every other would-be entrepreneur. There is another critical resource that is often overlooked when it comes to prosperity, and that is the presence of a Prophet. A Prophet carries an atmosphere of prosperity. In fact, God has entrusted His Prophets with the resource of prosperity. 

Some Christians do not have or have not yet identified the Prophet sent to them. Others have recognized their Prophet, but they refuse to believe them, not realizing that believing God’s Prophet is the requirement for their prosperity. Time is short, so use the resources God has given you to prosper now. Believe the words of His Prophet and move on with that business idea today! 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am empowered to prosper. The favour of the Lord makes me fruitful and productive, and anything I put my hands to do flourishes. The Word is working for me, and I can never be disadvantaged in Jesus’ mighty name!

2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Many times, I have said quiet Christians die quietly because they refuse to speak. It's time to declare these things to yourself and your body. There is no more time to be quiet or silent. Whether you have health challenges or not, say these words with me and mean it with your heart. Say, 'I am complete in Christ! Nothing is lacking in my spirit, soul, and body!’

You have to reiterate this to be part of your knowing and being. Do not hesitate, constantly speak what you believe should happen in your business, marriage, family, finances, health - and see the very thing take shape in your life. Again, declare this over your life and your family today and every day. Say it aloud: my organs are functioning normally in the name of Jesus! 

My heart is beating normally, my lungs are taking in air normally, my eyes are seeing normally, in the name of Jesus! My kidneys are functioning perfectly well; my muscles and tissues are in perfect condition! My businesses are booming, my finances are increasing in the name of Jesus! My life is nothing but Heaven on Earth! Speak it daily and put the Devil on the run. You cannot be denied your victory in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

 My body responds to the Word of God and not to sickness! The very seal of God is in and upon me, for I am His finished product. Glory to God!

Hebrews 6:20 (KJV)

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

 “Mel” as in Melchizedek means to reign or rule and “Zedek” signifies to be made right (Priest) or righteousness. Melchizedek, mentioned in the Old Testament is a king and a priest (Genesis 14:18-20), meaning he holds two offices. Strangely, Melchizedek has no ancestry lineage to speak about as he appears out of nowhere. 

What I love about my Jesus from the text is that he has already gone in for us, he has become our high priest. Not only that, Jesus is also our king. As Christians, we should grasp the dual role of Jesus as Priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Your position in Christ carries a dual function; as a priest, pleading like an advocate in a courtroom, and a judge because of your kingship in Jesus. 

When it comes to prayer, you start by pleading, standing on the Word of God, and as you end your prayer, begin to decree and declare things because the king inside you is authoritative and rules over circumstances, not under the circumstances. Throughout this year, decree and declare Heaven on Earth as your life’s norm. The name of Jesus is your weapon of war, and the Word of God is your ultimate artillery to dislodge every attack of the enemy.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a priest and a king. I carry the full load of the authority of the Godhead; when I speak, situations are bound to bow, when I decree and declare, circumstances disappear. My life shall always project God’s divine nature in me in the name of Jesus.

Psalm 91:1 (KJV)

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Most countries in the developed world have emergency numbers. These are numbers someone in those countries will call when in danger. The moment these numbers are called, a dispatcher will alert the rescue team of danger, and a rescue team will be sent immediately. What’s noticeable is even when these emergency numbers are accidentally dialed, rescuers will still be dispatched to that address to ensure that there is no apparent danger to the caller. 

In like manner, God has given us emergency numbers to dial immediately when faced with danger. Our scripture for today is one of those numbers. Moreover, Jeremiah 33:3 says: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (NKJV). 

In that situation where an eviction letter is served to you like a bombshell, a situation where a crippling and delipidating disease has suddenly been diagnosed, a situation where redundancy is looming at your workplace, then that’s the perfect time to scream in tongues and dial these emergency numbers. Our dependable God will dispatch Angels to rescue you from the impending danger once you dial Psalm 911 or Jeremiah 333. As you stand on God’s Word, call now and see help arrive instantly in the name of Jesus!   

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

 I am on God’s watch list, constantly under Heaven’s divine surveillance, I am not alone, angels are surrounding my dwelling 24/7, therefore no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am victorious in the name of Jesus.

Exodus 17:12 (KJV)

But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Moses was lifting his hands of his own accord, and the battle fought between the Israelites and their enemies was now in their favour. The moment Moses’ hands went down, the enemies got the upper hand. 

This is significant to understand that something profound was happening; there was a definite correlation between Moses’ risen hands, a physical act, and the victory of the Israelites on the battlefront. This simple act of raising hands and bringing victory shows that our participation is required to see a manifestation of a miracle at another level. 

I always tell people not to take prayer likely or for granted because when you pray, angels on assignment for you are sustained. Your prayer is like Moses raising his hands to give victory to the Israelites on the battlefield. As you pray, the angels warring on your behalf gain the upper hand over demonic forces and principalities. 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I will never relent, my life shall serve as a battle axe of the Lord, I will sustain angels on assignment for me in prayer, and will not be complacent in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen!

Luke 5:4 (KJV)

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

It’s been seven months since we as a Church by God’s grace entered the Deeper Life Phase. Seven normally speaks of perfection when it comes to the things of the spirit. Deeper life launched encompasses deeper life in prayer, deeper life in our commitment concerning the things of God. 

Deeper life requires going deeper into the Word of God. Deeper life is designed to prepare us to be men and women, that God wants to be perfect as the father is perfect. Deeper life takes the Bible as the only manual to equip you better to be who God wants you to be. One of the benefits of going deeper with God is we will bear more fruits. 

When you understand that deeper life is rewarding, your outlook on the spiritual will take a different trajectory. We are fishers of men not catchers of men, hence, we need to launch out deeper and deeper into the things of God if we want to win more souls for Jesus. Going into deeper life is avoiding surface Christianity and being firmly rooted in the Word of God and the things of the spirit. 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am already in the Deeper Life Phase, I have no reverse gear, I cannot go back, but go deeper into the things of God. I shall continue to evangelize, winning more souls, ensuring Heaven is full and Hell is empty!

John 21:6

Acts 12:7 (KJV)

And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

I tell people that the Devil is afraid of your light, not your anointing! This will take a lot of Christians time to comprehend. The power in you, is because of the amount of light in you, and having this light elevates your ranking in the realm of the spirit. The angel that came to liberate Peter came with light and this light had the ability to break the chain that was holding Peter down in prison. 

You should understand that to produce light will require having light in you. If there is no light in you, there will be nothing to emit. Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”. From this scripture, we now know that light is obtain from the Word of God, hallelujah! 

The more of the Word of God in you, the more light you exude. Since light ultimately disperses darkness and is able to break the chains of poverty, sickness, bareness, and imprisonment, the solution then is to absorb more light by having more of the Word of God in you.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a walking, living, and breathing species with God’s Word in me. I am a generator of light; therefore, the Devil has nothing on me. I move with light that terminates the enemy’s control over me. Amen!

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Many times, in the public glare and camera lights, accolades, trophies, awards, and titles are won with the winner cheerfully lifting the trophy. The scenery can be glamorous and exciting, and the atmosphere electric! The winner, despite the fun fare and admiration, is constantly reminded of one thing or one person; that’s the encourager. 

That single person in your life whose persistence and determination drove you to go the extra mile; building yourself to reach your God-given potential. The encourager doesn’t receive the awards and trophies, but the winner knows that success will be impossible without him. Paul was emphatic in his letter to the Thessalonians about what he expected them to do. 

You may say I am not a Preacher, not an Apostle, not a Prophet, but you are a Christian! You are the first to be seen by a non-Christian. You may not be in a position as such, but your words of consolation and encouragement will make a difference in someone’s life. Deeper life entails showing love to one another, loving the unlovable, and encouraging each other to attain greater heights. 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My life is a life of success. I shall not entertain discouragement, nor will I be a discourager, no, it shall not be part of me. I am set to lead and build others. Wherever I go, my life shall attract good news always. Amen!

1 Samuel 10:11 (KJV)

And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

Saul was known to his friends, family and relations as an ordinary guy. Before his prophetic utterance, Saul never imagined being someone that would prophesy. Many will ask what happened to Saul; where did he learn to prophesy? Who taught him, or if the gift of prophecy was imparted upon him? Notice that Saul was among the Prophets; he was in their midst and connected to the prophetic. 

Sometimes you become intertwined with the prophetic; you marinate yourself in the revelation associated with the prophetic, like that of Spirit Embassy, the GoodNews Church, and transformation begins from the inside. The Word of God has the power to change your life completely and give you a Heaven on Earth experience; take a daily dose by constantly reading and meditating upon the Word. 

You need this to be part of your being. When you are connected with God through His Word, you are in for a miracle. Network with fellow Christians to study the Word, and as it takes root in your heart and mind, you will begin to see the world differently.  

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I walk in divine connections. I am connected to the Word of God; my Spirit is fed and my life shines forth with God’s glory. As I remain plugged into the living Word of God, my life becomes Heaven on Earth in Jesus’ name. Amen!
