Dear PreciousOne, 

The LORD says; I AM giving you a new perspective and renewed hope. 

Listen, I have made all things new for you and your household... says the Lord. I 

have renewed my hope and have brightened a new light and a fresh divine 

anointing of My Spirit. I shall pour out my My Spirit afresh and a new upon you 

and your household and give you My Joy that is unshakable and never ending. I 

am giving you a vivid direction and a reaf rmed hope for now and the future. I 

Am your comfort, hope, peace, and I will never render you hopeless and 

wondering!. Failure is not part of your destiny, but joy unspeakable and 

laughter. Come and sit at my feet and have fellowship with me, for I will cause 

your heart to sing and rejoice forever. I will open My hand wide and give you 

double of what the devil has stolen from you all the past years, declares the 

LORD. I will give you a renewed strength and will perfect the songs in your heart 

of honour and appreciation for all the wonderful things I have released onto 

you, says the LORD. 

In 2017, IT IS A DONE DEAL!! Many blessings upon blessings are yours as you 

depend on me as your great provider who has never forsaken you. I AM the good 

shepherd and your wandering days in the wilderness and mourning are OVER 

says the LORD. 

All of us face dif culties in our lives. But we can have victory over them if we 

keep our eyes on God. Encouraging yourself in the Lord is part of how you go 

about recovering your joy, not the shallow, mercurial feeling of happiness, but 

deep, abiding joy, which can be present even in the midst of sorrow. 

Wherever you are, whatever you re facing in this new year, I encourage you to 

begin to give God praise. Praising God replaces hopelessness with hope. 

Praising God for His goodness dispels doubt and unbelief. Praising God will 

carry you from sickness to health, from despair to joy, and from bondage to 

liberty. You see, praise and defeat cannot live in the same house. When you 

praise God in faith, nothing will be impossible to you (Luke 1:37)! 

Draw closer to God. Experience the presence of the Holy Spirit every day and be

Today's Scripture 

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He 

leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of 

righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a 

table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup 

runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell 

in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalm 23:1-6 

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD 

When you say, "The Lord is my shepherd," you acknowledge your dependence 

upon Him, His ownership of you, and your personal relationship with Him. 

You prayed this prayer as a kid and even as an adult. It's one of the most 

powerful prayer of all time. 

But you must have a relationship with the Lord to qualify to call Him your 

Shepherd. A sheep is under the care of the shepherd and follows the 

shepherd. You must be submitted to the Lord as your shepherd and follow 

Him. You should not live any way you want and go wherever you want. You 

must follow the Lord and be under His care. Then you have the promise that 

you shall not want or lack anything because the Lord will take care of you like a 

shepherd. 

When the Lord is your shepherd He will nourish you and enable you to 

experience peace and rest. When the Lord is your shepherd He restores your 

soul. When your soul is discouraged or cast down within you He will revive 

you. He will preserve your soul. He will re ne you and purify you and cause 

you to walk in the right path. You need not drown in that valley of tears 

because the Lord is there to comfort you and heal your broken heart. He will 

bring renown and honour to your life especially before the eyes of your 

enemies who want to humiliate you. 

When the Lord is our Shepherd He will reward you by causing goodness and 

mercy to follow you all the days of our life. There is no doubt about it because 

His word says surely it will happen. You need not chase a er goodness and 

mercy and run desperately a er it. You need only to follow the Lord as your 

Shepherd and He will make goodness and mercy to follow you like a shadow 

all the days of our life. 

All these blessings can be yours when you submit your life into the hands of 

the Lord as your Shepherd and follow Him faithfully. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, thank you for 

another day to praise 

you. Thank You for being 

my good Shepherd. Today 

I humbly come to You, 

giving thanks for loving 

me; the sheep of your 

pasture. I am grateful I 

can trust You to be 

present in all 

circumstances of my life. 

Thank You for leading me 

into the place of rest. 

Restore my soul. Renew 

my joy. Heal my heart as I 

surrender every area of 

my life to You. In the 

mighty name of Jesus! 

Amen.

“You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your 

right hand there are pleasures forever.” 

Psalm 16:11 

JOY IN HIS PRESENCE 

There is something always missing in the lives of so many of God's children, 

and it is called JOY. God's desire is that we would experience fullness of joy, 

and rivers of pleasure. 

In God's Presence there is Protection, Provisions and also His Promises. You 

cannot enjoy these things fully without being in the Presence of God. When 

you have Gods presence with you, you need nothing more, and you should not 

settle for anything lesser. The presence of God is the most real thing you ever 

encounter. You go from strength to strength when you learn to stay in the 

presence of God all the time, not only when you are in need but at any given 

breath. 

Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life that does not depend on your 

circumstances. It doesn t matter how dark it gets, it doesn t matter what 

negative things happen to you. If you have the joy of the Lord that doesn t come 

from any outside source, but the presence of the Living God, nothing can take 

it away from you. That s the kind of joy I am talking about! 

When you stay in God's presence the fruit of your lip are praise, thanksgiving, 

adoration, worship, and gratitude. Doubts are gone, fears are gone, unsettled 

questions are gone. They do not exist in the holy place. He will not withhold no 

good thing to those who dwell in His presence, He carries them from strength 

to strength in His presence and they will be forever singing praises in the His 

presence. 

In the presence of the Lord where there s fullness of joy. Jesus said, Your 

heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. (John 16:22). God's 

joy gives you strength and empowers you to walk through any dif culty 

you may be facing. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Dear Lord, I thank you 

for reminding me one 

more time about the 

importance of staying in 

your presence. Thank 

you for all the provisions, 

protection and the 

promises awaiting me in 

your presence. I ask Lord 

that in time of dif cult 

trials in my life I will still 

remain in your presence 

to enable me maintain 

my joy. Pour out your joy 

on me today and always. 

In the mighty name of 

Jesus! Amen.

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive 

crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no 

cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” 

Habakkuk 3:17-18 

TURN YOUR PRESSURE INTO PRAISE 

Have you ever been under pressure? I mean, real pressure. The type that 

makes you sweats and keeps you up at night. 

Listen to me, the greater your pressure, the greater your praise. The more 

stress you have, the more energy you need to release. The more trouble you 

are facing, the more you need to cry out to God. 

If your situation is ever going to change you have to learn to turn your pressure 

into praise. If your midnight is to ever turn into day, you have to learn to turn 

your pressure into praise. If your mourning is to ever turn into dancing, you 

have to learn to turn your pressure into praise. The more uncontrollable your 

pressure, the more radical your praise ought to be. When the pressure is so 

intense and you feel like you are losing your mind, go way down deep into the 

inner recesses of your soul and praise as if you just lost your mind. 

No matter how dif cult things may seem, God has a plan to bring you out into 

a place of victory. Your praise is the bridge that will carry you into your 

promise land. The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people, 

and when the presence of God manifests, the enemy has to ee!! 

At the end of the day, you may not be able to prevent the pressures of life from 

invading your world, but you sure do have control what you do with those 

pressures. Turn them into praise! 

Always remember to be like Habakkuk and know tough times will come and 

that they re only times for you to grow, build your strength and prepare you for 

what s next in your amazing journey of life. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Lord Jesus, I thank you 

for the good times and I 

thank you for the hard 

times. I thank you for 

teaching and ministering 

to me to seek and Praise 

you ALL TIMES and not 

sometimes. Today I 

choose to rejoice in You 

no matter what my 

circumstances look like, I 

know You are greater 

than my circumstances. I 

trust that You will ful ll 

every one of Your 

promises in the mighty 

name of Jesus! Amen.

“.......we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of 

abundance.” 

Psalm 66:12 

TRIED AND TESTED 

I want you to know and understand that you are closer to your breakthrough 

than you think! You are closer to a place of abundance than you have ever 

been before! Don't quit on the edge of your breakthrough, one more step can 

put you in the middle of your promised blessing. 

If all you have is a promise I have good news for you, A promise is all you 

need! Yes, I said, A promise is all you need! All Abraham had was a promise 

and Isaac was born when he was a hundred years old and his wife Sarah was 

ninety! All Joseph had was a promise, but that promise brought him out of the 

pit, out of the prison, and nally into the palace. 

You are about to enter into the greatest season of your life. God is about to 

move in your family, business, nances and in your own personal life in a 

greater way than you have ever experienced in the past. 

In spite of the fact that in the natural, nothing seems to be changing, you still 

believe, If God said it He will do it and if God spoke it He will bring it to pass! 

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should 

repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He 

not make it good? Numbers 23:19. Massive breakthroughs will come in your 

life as you continue to li up the name of Jesus and trust Him in all things. 

Remember, God rewards the people who seek a er Him. So keep expecting, 

keep believing because the God of the breakthrough is ready to overwhelm 

you with His goodness today! Soon, your doors will swing open, chains will 

fall off, and those standing by will marvel at your life. When you become a 

testimony of God's faithfulness during painful transitions, not only are you 

blessed, but others will observe your breakthrough and will be touched by 

your release. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, thank 

you for your promise to 

bring me to a place of 

abundance. Today I open 

my mind and heart to 

You. I choose to believe 

that You have a good plan 

for me. I'm trusting that 

You, the God of the 

breakthrough, are 

working mightily on my 

behalf. Help me to live a 

life pleasing to You as I 

wait for Your hand to 

move mightily in my life. 

In the mighty name of 

Jesus! Amen. 

If you have been through the re and water, your next stop is a place of rich 

ful llment or abundance!

You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You 

have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is!! 

Job 1:10 

DIVINE PROTECTION IS YOUR PORTION 

Job had to face all kinds of adversity and tough times. But those dif culties 

were not a surprise to God. Satan's attacks against Job didn't catch God off 

guard. The Scripture says the enemy had to ask permission from God before 

he could touch Job. He couldn't bring one thing against him unless God 

allowed him to act. 

This should serve as an encouragement to you. When you face problems, 

there is a real peace when you understand God is in complete control, not just 

of your circumstances, but God is in control of your enemies. That means 

there is no person that can keep you down, no sickness too great, no trouble or 

calamity that can keep you from ultimately living in victory. 

God will always cause you to triumph. The bottom line is this; God is still on 

the throne, and He has promised that if you will stay in faith, no weapon 

formed against you is ever going to prosper. 

One clear fact is that if you are in Christ, nothing can harm you outside of Gods 

design. That does not mean that you can t be harmed or won t suffer, but you 

do know that The Lord is your keeper and does not slumber or sleep. Satans 

desire to destroy you is nothing to God. Satan needs permission from God 

before he can tempt or harm you. 

As a child of God, you have a secret place, the shelter of the Almighty. If you are 

walking in an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ, you are walking under 

the shadow of the Almighty. God covers us like a hen protects her chicks with 

her feathers. Your faith in God is the shelter of your tent. God is your refuge 

and strength. If we are in Him, there is nothing that can make you afraid. The 

Bible makes it clear that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father, thank You for 

walking with me through 

every season of life. I 

thank You for being a 

shield of protection 

around me, for going 

before me and preparing 

the way. Thank you for 

prospering me in every 

area of my life. Keep me 

close to You and give me 

strength as I move 

forward into the victory 

You have for me in the 


Amen.

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give 

yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is 

not in vain.” 

1 Corinthians 15:58 

DON T LET NOTHING STOP YOU! 

We all mess up. We say things we later wish we could take back. We do things 

we wish we could undo. We miss opportunities. This happens in all spheres of 

our lives. Sometimes we make mistakes at work, sometimes we hurt the 

people we love, sometimes we disappoint God. And because we all mess up, 

we like to start over to turn our backs on the past, to look forward, to hope that 

this time round, things are going to be better. And believers we have been 

given the ability to persevere and always be victorious through Jesus Christ 

our Lord. 

There is no person that hasn t sinned a er they were saved. The difference is 

only that some run from God and others run to God. I don t care what you ve 

done. If you understand the Grace of God, and that His forgiveness is 

unfailing, that sin will actually motivate you to get to Jesus. Don t let it stop 

you. Nothing should stop you from worshiping God, not people, not our past, 

not anything. 

God is not looking for perfect people. If He was, we would all be disquali ed. 

He is looking for people that have a heart that's right. If you have a heart 

toward God and you get up each day with a commitment to do your best, you 

don't have to live guilty and condemned. And when those old thoughts come 

telling you, You don't deserve God's blessings, just say, You're exactly right. I 

know I don't deserve it. But that's what God's mercy is all about. 

Trust God with your past and future and commit your present to his purpose. 

Then watch and see how God provides abundantly for you and through you so 

that you can express the joy of the Lord and His grace in your life. 

Prayer 

For The Day

“Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. 

Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will 

be stronger than they.” 

1 Kings 20:23 

GOD OF THE MOUNTAIN AND THE VALLEY 

Preciousone, I want you to know that our God is the God of the mountains, but He is 

also the God of the valleys! No matter where you are, He is God. He is faithful on the 

mountain and in the valley. When you are in the valley, the devil will do all he can to 

convince you that God is not as good to you in that valley as He is on the mountain. 

He will do all he can to make you think that God is not the God of the valley, but do 

not listen to him. The truth is that, every Christian will go through a valley of one 

sort or another, but God is always there with us. 

God's love and His power are with you whether we are on the mountaintop or in the 

valley deep. He is Jehovah-Nissi. Praise God that He is in your valleys as well as your 

mountains. When you're down, when you're feeling low, when you're defeated, 

when you're sick, when you're weak, when you're depressed, when you're 

discouraged, when you're doubting; GOD IS STILL THERE! He has promised to 

never leave you nor forsake you but to be with you until the end! His promises are 

true regardless of how we feel! The same way you praise God on the mountain top, is 

the same way you should praise Him in the valley. 

Many times in our lives we nd ourselves in the middle of the valley, we are weak, 

tired, empty and alone. We feel so far from the presence and the anointing of God. 

And when we call on Him we feel like we get a busy signal. Be rest assured God is 

always with you, regardless of your location and situation. On the mountain top, 

God is there as you bask in His presence and enjoy the best things of this life. In the 

valley He is there, to help your faith to grow, to mold you into a useful vessel and to 

help you mature and be strong. 

Not only will He be God in your valley but He will lead you through. So whatever you 

are going through right now, know that God is right there in your valley with you. He 

is holding you in His arms and carrying you through the valley. Victory is already 

yours. Just as the Israelites were also victorious in the valley, so will you be because 

the God of the valleys is right there with you! 

Always remember; For the God on the mountain, is the God in the valley. When 

things go wrong, He'll make them right. And the God of the good times is still God in 

the bad times.

Prayer 

For The Day

me, holding me in His

you for reassuring me 

that you will always be

When you hear the blast of the trumpet, rush to wherever it is sounding. Then our God 

will fight for us. 

Nehemiah 4:20 

TOO SOON TO QUIT 

God want to give you great and mighty things. God wants to ll your lap with 

abundant blessing to over owing. But He also wants you to work and ght for 

them because only then are they desires of your heart. 

The people rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem with Nehemiah faced constant 

threats. They didn't pretend the opposition didn't exist. They made 

preparations. They had defense plan, and they didn't let danger keep them 

from the work. If they had allowed themselves to worry about their enemies, 

they would have stopped working and the opposition would have won! 

Sometimes we Christians miss out on the blessings of God because of lack of 

commitment and faith. We are sometimes unwilling to stay the course when 

confronted with criticism or opposition. Don't be one of these believers. Dig in 

your heels, stand your grant, and be determined to ght the good ght of your 

faith! Stay focused and ready to step up to what God has called you to do. 

God is more interested in what you re becoming than what s happening to you. 

He o en allows trials, troubles, tribulations, and problems in your life to teach 

you diligence, determination, and character. The problem you re going 

through right now? It s a test of your faithfulness. Will you continue to serve 

God even when life stinks? 

Whatever your step of faith needs to be, take it today. As you do your part, God 

is ready to ght your battles for you. He promises that no weapon formed 

against you will ever prosper, and we should press forward with con dence, 

knowing that if God is for us who would dare to be against us? 

God told Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and of good courage, do not 

fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with 

you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

God, thank You for Your 

goodness, grace and 

mercy upon me. I choose 

to receive Your Word by 

faith today, knowing that 

You have good things in 

store for me. Thank You 

for moving on my behalf 

and leading me into the 

abundant life You have 

prepared in the mighty

“Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be 

discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 

Joshua 1:9 

GOD GOES WHERE YOU GO 

How encouraging and comforting it is to know that wherever we go God is 

there with us. We nd ourselves in certain situations and we wonder if God is 

paying attention. We may feel so alone and even depressed. We can't feel God's 

presence, and we need His guidance and help. Sometimes it's hard to be 

strong, and courageous. But for us to feel His presence and know that He is 

guiding us; we as His children need to believe in His promises and learn to be 

strong and courageous. God makes His promises and He keeps them. 

The people close to you many a times don't really understand what you are 

going through. But God does and HE CARES. God is telling you exactly what He 

told Joshua, to be strong and to have courage. Then He told him a wonderful 

truth: "The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Yes, that's right 

wherever! We don't have to feel all alone. God is with you. He knows you by 

your name and He is working out the problems, and you don't even realize it. 

You need to come to that place where you will allow Him to take hold of your 

hand and you in turn will let your hand remain rmly in His hand. That is 

when you will begin to appreciate all He is doing for you and know that He is 

always with you. 

I want to encourage you to hold on to your faith, rely on it, lean on it. Know that 

it is natural to feel inadequate, normal to have apprehension, ordinary to be 

unsure of yourself, but be strong and of good courage, be not frightened, 

neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. 

For you to be strong, and courageous you must stay the path...you must not 

turn...you must not compromise...you must not become distracted....you 

must not become detoured from what the will of God is. 

Faithfulness and focus are the keys. 

Prayer 

For The Day

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though 

they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. 

Psalm 37:23-24 

THE STEPS OF THE GODLY 

When you allow the Lord to order your steps, you have something to shout 

about because when He order your steps, you will be blessed going in and 

going out, you will be blessed in the city and in the eld, you will be the head 

and not the tail, you will be above ,and not beneath. And when God blesses you 

like that you ought to praise God with a joyful noise!! 

Now it must be understood that having your steps ordered by the Lord does 

not mean that everything will be rosy and smooth for you all the times. While 

the Lord is ordering your steps, there will be times you will face some 

problems, obstacles, setbacks, sickness, pain, disappointments, heartbreaks 

and failures. But through it all, through sunshine and rain, while the Lord is 

ordering your steps, just know and believe that all things are going to work 

together for the good to them that love the Lord, and is called according to his 

purpose. 

You see, when you allow the Lord to order your steps, there will be peace. 

When you allow the Lord to order your steps, there will be joy. When you allow 

the Lord to order your steps, there will be power. When you allow the Lord to 

order your steps, there will be victory. 

You got to believe and know that God is able to order your steps through your 

problems, through your disappointments, through your heartbreaks, through 

your pain, or whatever. Just know and believe that no matter what you face in 

this life, if you allow the Lord to order your step, you will have the victory!

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. 

You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” 

Revelation 3:8 

GOD IS A DOOR OPENER 

The God we serve is a God who opens doors for us. And when He opens a door , 

no man can shut it. We may try to open doors in our own strength and fail 

because they are too strong for us. Sometimes we may succeed in opening a 

door in our own strength only to nd that somebody has closed it again. 

When you face such situations you should allow the Lord to open these doors. 

His mighty strength and power will open doors so that no one can shut them 

again. He will go before you and break down every hindrance and break down 

gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron . You should not struggle in vain in 

our own strength against these strong barriers, but instead allow the Lord to 

open the doors for you. 

The Lord parted the Red Sea to make His people pass through it. But He closed 

it when the Egyptians tried to use the way He had opened for His people. The 

doors that the Lord opens for you cannot be used by our enemies. The way of 

escape for you will become a way of destruction for your enemies. God opens 

doors when you stand for what is right and God opens doors when you seek to 

stand rm in His will. 

May this scripture inspire you today to know that the GOD you serve knows 

and sees ALL YOUR DEEDS and He has opened a door for you that no one on 

earth can close. Regardless of how little your strength may be, He sees it, He 

knows it. You have always kept His word and never denied Him. Your labour 

and perseverance in the Lord will never be in vain. Keep pressing and pushing 

and you will soon be walking into that OPENED DOOR no one can shut. 

God opens doors when we stand for what is right and God opens doors when 

we seek to stand rm in His will. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Lord Jesus, I come to you

“This is what the LORD says-- He who made a way through the sea, a path through the 

mighty waters.” 

Isaiah 43:16 

HE IS A WAY MAKER 

God will make a way, 

where there seems to be no way; 

He works in ways we cannot see, 

He will make a way for me. 

Our God is a way maker and He will de nitely make a way for you where there 

seems to be no way. Are you willing to believe that God will make a way where 

there seems to be no way? He works in ways we cannot see...He will make a 

way! God will make a way in time of your trouble, your trials, your temptation, 

your trusting, and your transgressions. No matter how bad the situation is, 

God can make a way! 

You may be facing a dead end right now; nancial, emotional, or relational but 

if you will trust God and keep on moving in faith, even when you don t see a 

way, He will make a way. 

Proverbs 4:18 says, The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining 

ever brighter till the full light of day . Very son you ll see Gods purpose behind 

the path He speci cally chose for you. Put your trust in a God who can make a 

way even when there seem to be no way. Obey Him and do as He says. 

However, be patient. God knows what He s doing. God knows what is best for 

you. He can see the end result. You can t. I believe that God will always make a 

way where there is no way. I believe that if we will walk in obedience to the 

commandments of God, if we will follow His counsel, He will open a way even 

where there appears to be no way. 

God is never caught without a clue how to solve a problem. He always has a 

plan. When you are at the end of your road, turn to Him... Take the step of faith 

and walk on... and know that there is a way out. To God, it is not the end of the 

road but the beginning of a new way. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

O Lord, forgive me for 

leaning on my own 

understanding and 

trusting in my own ways. 

Guide and teach me to 

understand your ways 

better. Thank you for 

being Jehovah Jireh, our 

Provider and a way 

maker. Thank you for 

always making a way 

where there seems to be 

no way. in the mighty

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about 

your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more 

important than clothes? …. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry 

about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” 

Matthew 6:25, 34 

QUIT THE WORRY 

Any time you take God out of the center of your life and put anything else 

there, no matter how good it is, you re going to worry. If you re worrying about 

tomorrow, you can t enjoy today. You miss today s blessings. It s OK to plan for 

tomorrow, but you have to live for today. Also, when you re always worried 

about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the 

grace and strength you need when you get there. Right now, you only need 

enough power for today. 

Our gracious God does promise blessing upon blessing. Each new day is a new 

day for the Lord to provide for His children. We have to admit that our loving 

Lord does just that. Our heavenly Father gives us all that we need and even 

more. David the psalmist said; "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never 

seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always 

generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed" (Psalm 37:25-26). 

Still lled with worry? Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares 

about you. 1 Peter 5:7. God values you even more than the rest of His creation. 

Birds, who don t labor at all, have adequate food to eat. Even owers, which 

only live for a short time, have beautiful "clothing." If God provides for them, 

doesn t it stand to reason that He will care for you, since you are "much more" 

valuable? 

Worry represents a failure to trust in God as our Father. The moment you 

worry, it's an indirect way of saying you don't trust God can provide for you. 

Children don t worry about where their food or clothing or shelter is going to 

come from. They just trust their parents. You need to trust God in the same 

way. You aren t in control, but you can place your trust in Someone who is. You 

don t know the future. But you can place your trust in Someone who does. And 

He is God. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Thank you God for being 

my great provider and my 

only dependable God. 

Forgive me for the many 

days, months and years 

of worries. I will put my 

trust in you and depend 

on you for the rest of my 

life in the mighty name 

of Jesus! Amen.

“Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, 

according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14 

“There is nothing too hard for thee.” 

Jeremiah 32:17 

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THEE 

Have you ever heard someone make a promise that seemed unrealistic? Maybe you 

even laughed to yourself when you heard it. God likes to make promises that seem like 

they would be impossible to keep, at least, from our human point of view, but God 

keeps ALL His promises, not some but ALL because He is GOD and doesn't lie. 

Do you know what 89 year old Sarah did when she overheard God saying that she 

would be a mother? She laughed to herself. A er I am worn out and my master is old, 

will I now have this pleasure? Sarah didn t believe it. She doubted it. She didn t think 

that God could do something like that. And you know what? There s a little bit of Sarah 

inside YOU and I. 

Even though Sarah doubted Him, a year later, at the age of 90, she had a baby. Can you 

imagine an older woman walking around with a baby? Oh, is that your grandson? 

No, this is my son. What? But that s how God works. He loves to do this. He loves to 

come to His people, people like you. He loves to make promises to you that seem way 

beyond any possibility of happening. And then, as you struggle with your doubts, He 

loves to forgive you and strengthen you as you look for God to keep His promises. God 

is the same God who blessed Abraham and Sarah, a merciful and forgiving, patient 

and powerful God, who does all these great things, just because He loves you. 

Stop asking questions, stop raising doubts, and simply BELIEVE. What do we call that, 

when you believe Gods impossible promises? We call that faith. Faith is believing that 

nothing is too hard for the Lord. Faith is believing, even when everything in the world 

tells you, God is lying . 

And so, during those times in your life when you are struggling to believe the promises 

of God, when you nd yourself in a very challenging situation, when you start 

doubting that God is really going to keep His promises, during those times, remember 

God says, Is anything too hard for the Lord? Absolutely there is nothing too hard for 

God! Look past your circumstances today and look to God. The one who promised is 

faithful, and He will bring it to pass! 

Prayer 

For The Day 


your faithfulness to me. 

Today I choose to trust in 

You. I know that You will 

bring to pass every 

promise You've made. I 

repent and ask for 

forgiveness of doubting 

you and doing things my 

on way. May You ll me 

with greater faith that 

believes that nothing is 

too hard for You Lord in 

the mighty name of 

Jesus! Amen.

“We love because He first loved us.” 

1 John 4:19 

WE LOVE BECAUSE GOD FIRST LOVED US 

Today is Saint Valentine s Day! It s a day in which we celebrate Love. It s a day 

that for many people is the only time of the year that they convey their love to 

another. It s a day that will mainly be celebrated between two people, two 

sweethearts and the love we express on February 14 is 100 times more than the 

love we express and share a whole year. 

The only reason you can love God or anybody else is because God rst loved 

you. And He showed that love by sending Jesus Christ to Earth to die for you. 

He showed that love by creating you. He showed that love by giving you 

everything you have in life. We love because God rst loved us. 

How s your love life? That is, how well do you love people? How well do you 

demonstrate love to people? Do you demonstrate love when you feel wronged? 

This is something that we all need to do because our Lord Jesus did the same 

thing. 

Jesus said that the rst and greatest command is this: Love the Lord your God 

with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength Matthew 

22:37. start by loving God Himself. 

Gods love is unconditional, unquali ed and without conditions which makes 

it absolutely unlike the love we o en show. If you want to learn how to love 

other people, you ve got to rst understand and feel how much God loves you. 

When you feel that unconditional love, you re not going to be as angry as 

you ve been in the past. You re going to be more patient. You re going to be 

more forgiving. You re going to be more merciful. You re going to show other 

people love and grace. 

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has 

been born of God and knows God. And that is you, yes, you! Believe it, 

beloved! It s true. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, thank You for 

another day to praise 

You. Thank You for loving 

me, for empowering me, 

and for being the 

ultimate example of love. 

Have Your way in my 

heart so that I can be a 

shining light of Your love 

to the people around me. 

Help me follow Your 

example and show the 

power of your love. Let 

everything I do bring 

honor to You in the 


Amen.

“For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the sons of the 

mighty can be likened unto the Lord?” 

Psalms 89:6 

NOBODY LIKE JESUS 

NOBODY BUT JESUS!! 

Of all the people we know of today, there is only One Person that we really 

need to know. Other men are here and then gone, but Jesus will always be. 

Who will be le when time is done? Nobody But Jesus! 

Preciousone, hear me today; When the cloud of time rolls away, Mohammed 

will be gone; Bhudda will be gone; kings and princes will be gone; political 

gures will be gone; gospel stars will be gone; rock stars and country music 

stars will be gone; movie stars will be gone! There will be nobody le besides 

Jesus! Who should we trust in? Who can we count on? Who should we regard as 

the most important gure in our lives, then? Who should you surrender your 

life to today? Your husband will be gone, your wife will be gone, that friend you 

trust so much will be gone. There will be nobody le besides Jesus! Who 

should we regard as the most important gure in our lives, then? I will tell 

you:, NOBODY BUT JESUS! 

He will never leave you, overlook you, forsake you, mislead you, or forget you. 

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, in every way. If you 

fall, He will li you up. If you fail, He will forgive. If you are weak, He is strong. 

If you get lost, He is the way. If you hurt, He is your healing. When you are 

broke He will mend you. If you are blind He will lead you. When you are 

hungry, He will feed you. If you face trials, He ll be with you. When you face 

persecution, He will shield you. When you have a problem He will comfort 

you. When you are facing loss He will provide for you. Hallelujah!! 

Wouldn t it be good today for you to give the Lord the greatest gi you have to 

give; yourself? Renew your commitment to Him today. There really is nobody 

like Jesus. Let s honour Him because that is the plan truth!! 

You can t impeach Him, He s not going to resign, and you can t vote Him out. 

There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody a er Him. Travel 

where you desire and investigate all the religions of the world. You will nd 

There s NOBODY LIKE JESUS There's NOBODY BUT JESUS! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Dear Lord, thank You for 

refreshing me with Your 

Word which is truth that 

sets me free. I choose to 

seek You rst, I choose to 

trust Your Word and 

Honour you with my 

whole life all the days of 

my life because there is 

nobody like you in the

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. 

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 

Lamentations 3:22 

OUR FAITHFUL GOD 

Today we still take con dence and rejoice that the Lords compassion does not 

fail, that they are new every morning. When the sun comes up in the morning, 

His goodness, love and favor are new, creating new opportunities for your life. 

Gods faithfulness means that everything He says and does is certain. He is 

100% reliable, 100% of the time. He does not fail, forget, falter, change, or 

disappoint. He says what He means and means what He says, and therefore 

does everything He says He will do. 

Today's verse tells us that God's mercies are new every morning. He's not ever 

going to run out of compassion. He's not ever going to run out of forgiveness. 

He's not ever going to say, "Well, this is the last time I'm going to give you 

mercy." No, you can have a new beginning every single day! In Psalm 5:3 David 

asks of the Lord: "Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I 

bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." David was a man a er God's 

own heart. He knew God and saw the Lord do incredible and miraculous 

things in his life. What you pursue in the morning sets the tone for your whole 

day. 

God, who is greater than all, sees to it that Satan does not have too much of an 

advantage. He knows how to deliver you out of temptation! Proverbs 15:3 The 

eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. 

I Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to 

man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can 

bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can 

stand up under it. 

No matter how much we've accomplished or how many mistakes we've made, 

whether we're resting or facing huge life challenges . . . God promises that He 

will make your life new every day 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, thank 

you for your great Mercy, 

Grace and Compassion. 

Thank you for being my 

great provider. Thank 

You for cleansing me of 

all unrighteousness. 

Thank You for making 

me new. I love You and 

bless Your Holy Name. In 

Jesus mighty name! 

Amen.

“Then he said, "Don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for 

understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in 

heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer.” 

Daniel 10:12 

IT MAY BE DELAYED, BUT IT'S NOT DENIED 

We all have goals, dreams, and visions in life. We pray about them and try to 

hold fast to them, because with faith in Jesus we know they will come to pass. 

And, when they do, it is the most wonderful feeling. A dream becoming 

reality, a prayer answered, and our faith in God strengthened even more. 

But there are times the enemy will cloud the vision that God gives you. He may 

not be able to read your mind, but he can hear your words. He sees your 

actions and reactions and knows your "hot buttons". He knows just what 

buttons to push, and when to push them to get your mind off the vision. He 

would like nothing better than to steal your dreams. But he can't steal your 

dreams, unless you let him. This is why it's so important for us to hold fast our 

confession of faith and cloth yourself with the spirit of humility. 

Disappointment can open a door for the enemy to slip in and "steal, kill and 

destroy" (John 10:10), our hopes and dreams. There is a song entitled "When 

God is Silent", that I truly love. It talks about how when God is silent He is 

giving us more time to pray. If you're praying and praying and praying for 

something and it just hasn't arrived yet, keep praying! PUSH! Pray Until 

Something Happens. Then pray some more. 

If you believe God is working all things out to your bene t, you have to believe 

His timing is part of that. He wouldn't have given His only Son if He wasn't 

going to keep His promise to us. 

We have no idea what the Lord is doing on our behalf to answer our prayers. 

We cannot see it, but rest assured His is working it out. What He requires from 

you is faith to believe that the Word of God is true. Do not let the enemy make 

you BELIEVE your prayer has been denied, just because you FEEL the answer 

isn't coming. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus, and keep praying in faith, 

remembering to thank Him and praise Him for all He has done. Remember: 

GOD IS FAITHFUL! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, today I 

choose to trust in You. 

Thank you for teaching 

me patience and 

perseverance. I trust your 

faithfulness and I release 

frustration over the 

dreams and desires in my 

heart, knowing that You 

know what s best for me. 

I choose to trust in Your 

timing because You are 

faithful, and I will bless 

You in all things in my 

life in the mighty name 

of Jesus! Amen.

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He 

will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty”. 

Daniel 3:17 

WHEN LIFE TURNS UP THE HEAT 

When the three Hebrew teenagers, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refused 

to bow down to the King's golden idol, he got so furious that he had the furnace 

heated up seven times hotter than normal so he could throw them in! That's what 

happens when you're close to a great victory. It seems that just as you get past one 

obstacle, something else poops up. Why is that? Because the enemy knows you're 

close to your victory and he's trying to throw you off course. This is the time when 

many people give up and get sour; simply because they don't know their heritage, 

they lose sight of the victory God has promised His children. 

Notice that God didn t deliver them from the re; He delivered them through the 

re. Maybe you are going through the re today. Know that God is with you. He s 

doing a work in you, and He s displaying His glory through you. Remember, on the 

other side of the re is a place of abundance and blessing! Stand strong and see the 

ful llment of the promises He has in store for you! 

I love the fact that those three teenage boys weren't panicking either. They weren't 

full of anxiety. They didn't get upset or become afraid. No, they were in complete 

peace. They knew that God was sill on the throne. They trusted that He had a plan 

and He was going to work out that plan for their good and His ultimate glory. A 

faith that is tested by re is a faith that can be trusted. 

When the king went to check on them, he was very confused. He said, Didn't we 

tie up and throw three men in here? I see four men united and one looks like the 

Son of the Living God. The scripture says God brought them through the re 

without even having them smell of smoke. 

You may feel like you're in the re today. You may feel like the heat is being turned 

up, that everything is coming against you. Be encouraged, because there's 

something great in store just on the horizon. When the heat gets turned up, it 

means that you're close to your breakthrough! If you will stay in faith, God will do 

for you what He did for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He'll be with you in 

the re, and He'll bring you out without even the smell on you! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, thank 

You for delivering and 

saving me. I stand strong 

no matter what I may be 

facing, knowing that You 

are with me. Thank You 

for protecting me 

through the re and for 

leading me to the place of 

abundance and blessing 

You have prepared for 

me. In the mighty name 

of Jesus!Amen.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all 

your ways acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths.” 

Proverbs 3:5-6 

TRUSTING GOD NO MATTER WHAT 

Do you think God was surprised when you were born? Did God look at you and 

said: "Who is that?" Of course not. The Bible says that before you were born, 

God know you. God knows who you are and why He put you here. You are not 

an accident. 

There are some people who argue with God. "When God made me He made a 

big mistake!" "My life has no meaning." There are others who get angry with 

God. They refuse to set the sail and dri going nowhere in life. Without God in 

your life your life has no ultimate purpose. You can only know Gods plan by 

accepting Him as Your guide and Captain and Master of your life. God provides 

the ship of His salvation and grace. It is available. You have to get in the boat 

and you have to set the sails. You have to take some initiative. 

Are you fearful about your future? Give your future to God. Live one day at a 

time, completely surrendered to His will. The Bible teaches that God wants 

good things for us. Just as parents wants good things for their children. Even 

so God wants the best in life for you. Gods will does not mean living a hard and 

frustrating life. God is for us and not against us. He wants us to have a life of joy 

and ful llment. 

Trust Jesus with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, and in 

all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths. You can get on 

board Gods ship of life, set the sails by faith and ask Jesus to help you steer the 

ship. 

Preciousone, we must learn to trust God in every situation, not some 

situations, but EVERY situation. We must trust God to be our God and not 

anyone else or anything else. We must seek rst the kingdom of God and His 

righteousness if we expect Him to be our God. When our path seems dark... 

He is our light and our Salvation ... No matter what! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, today I 

choose to put my trust in 

You. I know You are a 

good and faithful God, 

and I trust that You have 

my best interest at heart. 

Help me stay focused on 

Your goodness today. In

“May the LORD, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you 

as He has promised!” 

Deuteronomy 1:11 

THOUSAND TIMES MORE 

I love the Scripture in Deuteronomy that folds a blessing inside a promise! 

That's God's desire and plan for you, to increase you, to promote you, to show 

you favour. But sometimes this is so hard for us to imagine. We read, multiply 

you a thousand times more, and our nite thinking just can't see how that is 

possible. We say, There is no way. How can God do that for me? But I can tell 

you from rsthand experience that God is not only able, but He wants to do 

just that; multiply to you by thousands! The will and desire of God. 

As a child of God, you belong to Christ. And since you belong to Him, you are 

considered a spiritual seed of Abraham. You are a part of Gods Kingdom now, 

and you have inherited all the promises of God! So, let this get down into your 

heart God wants to make YOU a THOUSAND TIMES MORE! 

When God says He wants to bless you a thousand times more, it's not just in 

reference to materials things. God is talking to you about the depth and 

breadth of your entire life That means EVERY AREA THAT CONCERNS YOU! 

God has promised that you can have MORE and BETTER than you may have 

ever imagined in EVERY area of your life How about a thousand times more 

joy, a thousand times more peace, a thousand times more wisdom? In every 

area of our lives, God desires to multiply you. This includes your health, your 

home, your job, your nances, your relationship with Him, your relationship 

with others, and so much more And the promise of Deuteronomy 1:11 is not 

just to you but also to your children and your childrens children 

By faith, see yourself in Christ so blessed, at peace, and protected in every area 

of your life that you feel like you re on top of the world. By faith, see yourself at 

a place in life that is higher than you ve ever been before, because that is what 

Deuteronomy 1:11 promises you and always remember the God you serve is 

a God of MORE THAN ENOUGH 

Prayer 

For The Day 

God, thank You for Your 

goodness, grace and 

mercy upon me. I choose 

to receive Your Word by 

faith today, knowing that 

You have good things in

prepared. In the mighty

“Be still, and know that I am God!” 

Psalm 46:10 

NO SHAKING... STAND STILL 

You may nd yourself at a time in your life where all you can do, is just be still 

and know that GOD IS GOD! Your situation may seem hopeless, and you may 

feel overwhelmed and alone. And at times whatever you are facing cannot be 

helped by mortal man. 

The Father has a plan, though it's hard to see it now that you feel you're walking 

all alone, but He is there no doubt about that. When the storm around you 

rages, and you're tossed to and fro, when you're faced with life's decisions, not 

sure which way to go, stand still and let God move. 

Preciousone, when your enemies come against you STAND STILL! God has a 

plan. 

You may be powerless but He is all powerful 

You may be helpless but He is a great help in a time of need 

You may be fearful but He is fearless 

You may be troubled but He will be triumphant 

Though you are in the midst of the storm, though you are surrounded on every 

side He is telling you to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!! 

If you aren t learning to depend on Him as your refuge, to draw on Him as your 

resource, and to defer to Him as your ruler, when things are going smoothly, 

you won t know how when trouble strikes. Crisis does not make a person; 

crisis reveals a person. In a time of trial, you turn to what you trust. An 

alcoholic turns to the bottle. An addict turns to drugs. A worldly person turns 

to the worlds wisdom. A Christian should turn to the Lord. When trouble 

strikes, He is suf cient to get you through. 

May you be still and know that God is always with us. And may that news 

inspire how you live, who you love and to follow Christ our Lord at all times. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father in heaven, I 

humbly come before You. 

I choose to be still before 

You. Speak to my heart so 

I can know You more. Fill 

me with Your peace as I 

put my trust in You. In 


Jesus! Amen.

“Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their 

distress. He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.” 

Psalm 107:28-29 

STORMS OF LIFE 

As a child of God always be prepared for Storms. Storms will come but Jesus will 

be with us in the storms and He will calm the storms. Know that it is only in the 

storms that we really know who Jesus is. I don t know what storms you ve been 

through but I do know that all of us at some time or another have had an 

experience in which we have felt our life to be so tiny, tossed around like that little 

cargo ship in the middle of the wide ocean. 

I am yet to think of anyone who has never been through any storm in their entire 

life. Even Jesus had His own storms, how much more we His followers. Some of us 

may even be facing the crisis of a storm right now and are not sure if we will ever 

get out of it. 

But I believe in this year, the year 2017, the winds are changing direction, and now 

they are going to start propelling you forward. Due season is coming. It s not time 

to sit back. It s not time to let up. It s time to press forward. It s time to rise up! Don t 

grow weary while doing good. Keep doing good and don t lose heart because it s 

your time, and it s your season! 

The same way Jesus came through for the disciples by calming the storm and 

spared their lives, the same way He will calm your storms for you. I want to 

encourage you to look to the One that can bring calm to the troubled sea of your 

life. He can take the darkest life and turn it into the brightest life one could ever 

live. He wants to take care of our problems for us, but we must rely on Him. He 

asked the disciples a simple question that I want to ask you this morning, and that 

is where is your faith? 

God never said that we wouldn t have dif culties, but He did promise we could 

have peace in the midst of the storms. When you face adversities, one of the most 

powerful things you can do is simply stay calm. When you are at peace, you are 

displaying your faith in God. By your actions you re saying, God, I know You re 

still on the throne. I know You re bigger than this problem. So keep peace in the 

midst of your storms today. Trust that He is working behind the scenes. Keep your 

heart open to Him because soon He will deliver you! 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Thank You for Your 

goodness and 

faithfulness in my life. 

Help me keep my heart 

and mind focused on 

You. No matter what 

storm I may be facing, I 

trust that You are 

working behind the 

scenes and ordering my 

steps to the promise land 

you have for me. In Jesus 

Name. Amen.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast 

me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me 

the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” 

Psalms 51:10-12 

A CLEAN HEART, O GOD 

This Psalm was written by King David a er the prophet Nathan had gone to 

him, a er his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. David had committed a 

great sin in the eyes of the Lord. David was a man a er Gods own heart but He 

never took that for granted in anyway. 

So David says, Purge me, purify me, wash me. The words he uses imply a 

thorough scrubbing. And you can almost picture a mother with her child at 

the shower scrubbing him until his skin literally shines and squeaks, getting 

behind the ears, getting rid of every bit of dirt. David says, God, that s what I 

want you to do to me. I ve gotten myself dirty. I ve been out messing with some 

things I shouldn t have been messing with, and I m covered with lth. I need 

for you to clean me up. 

David didn t say, Change the way I behave. He says, Change my heart. It s 

We can go through all the right motions without our heart being right, but if 

the heart is right, everything else will fall into place. The most beautiful part of 

this story is that God did that for David and He s willing to do the same for any 

of us. Gods delights in having the opportunity to forgive. And when He 

forgives, He doesn t continue to hold it over our heads. God wants to forgive us. 

He wants to do something new in our lives. We have to have a change of heart, 

a change of mind, and a change of direction for the forgiveness God offers to 

change our lives. 

A heart in need of change can only come from a person who has surrendered. 

We have to destroy our strong will and allow God to rule in our hearts. We have 

to be moved by our sins and not allow ourselves to become callous concerning 

the evil in our hearts. 

Preciousone, take time to examine your live and your heart and pray the same 

prayer David prayed; Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast 

spirit within me... 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Heavenly Father, I invite 

You now to come into my 

life afresh. I surrender 

my heart, soul and body 

to you. Wash me, purify 

me and remove every 

stain from me. Change 

my heart, change my 

mind and change my 

direction. Create in me a 

clean heart, O God, and 

renew a steadfast spirit 

within me. In the mighty 

name of Jesus. Amen!

“You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” 

Philippians 2:5 

KEEPING A CHRIST LIKE ATTITUDE 

There is nothing as powerful as good and positive attitude and it dictates our 

response to the present and determines the quality of our future. The power in 

positive attitude for the believer is rooted in what we think about God and His 

word. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of life, become optimistic, 

and expect the best to happen. 

To live differently, we must think differently. King Solomon said in Proverbs 

23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." You will eventually become what you 

think. If you allow yourself to think negative worried, fearful thoughts, then you 

will become a negative, worried, fearful person. You cannot think defeat and 

expect victory. Victory and Defeat begins in the mind. You can't think poverty, 

and expect wealth. The way you choose to respond is a re ection of your 

thoughts. By changing your thoughts, you also change your attitude and your 

life. 

Find out who you are according to the Word. Don t listen to what the Negative 

people says; you de ne yourself by what God says about you. That means you 

are who God says that you are, you can have what God says you can have, you can 

do what God says you can do. When you are in Christ, there is no limit to the 

good things that are in you. A positive attitude leads to happiness and success 

and can change your whole life. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth 

developing. 

Be patient, in the midst of trials, Jesus was patient. Learn to endure suffering 

and be hopeful for in the midst of suffering, He was hopeful. In the midst of 

blessing, He was humble. Even in the midst of ridicule, abuse, and hostility, He 

made no threats . . . and did not retaliate. Instead He entrusted Himself to Him 

who judges justly (1 Peter 2:23). When Paul tells us that our attitude should be 

the same as that of Christ Jesus, he is telling us; Don't be sel sh; don't try to 

impress others. Be humble, don't look out only for your own interests, but take 

an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 

Prayer 

For The Day 

Father God, today I give 

myself back to you and 

ask that you will work on 

every area of my life. 

Help me be an example 

of Christ, having the 

same attitude that Christ 

have. Take away every 

sel sh attitude out of me 

and direct me on the path 

of righteousness. Cloth 

me with the spirit of 

humility and respect. 

That in my dealing with 

people they will see 

Christ through me. In the 

mighty name of Jesus. 

Amen!

February 26 


Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and 

thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds 

anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in 

Christ Jesus. 

Philippians 4:6-7 

DON'T WORRY JUST TRUST! 

The world says, Don t worry, be happy. Jesus says, Don t worry, just trust. 

The Lord wants us to pray instead of worrying, and we are supposed to lay our 

anxieties upon Him, and when we do, we are supposed to leave them there 

with Him, too. We must learn how to pray instead of worry. We pray and hand 

Him all our worries. Let God handle them for us. You see, God wants your 

problems. He wants you to lay your worries on His lap. 

Many of us do go to God and tell Him all about our worries, don t we? But that is 

all we do. We don t leave them with Him. When we get through praying, we 

reach over and take them back, then spend the rest of the day worrying. When 

we go to pray, we must learn to leave our worries with Him. 

By worrying we actually are calling God a liar. We are saying to God, I know you 

can keep the sun in orbit. I know that you can sustain all life on earth. I know 

that you can answer prayers all over the world at once. I know that you have 

always been in control in the past...but I don t believe you can take care of the 

problem I m going through now. Prov.3:5-6 says; Trust the Lord with all your 

heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him 

and He will make your paths straight . 

You are more valuable than any other creatures, Jesus says; Look at the birds. 

They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father 

feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to Him than they are? Sure you 

more valuable to God. 

With God, there is no reason to worry. Without God, there is every reason in 

the world to worry. 

Prayer 

For The Day 


Your goodness and 

faithfulness in my life. I 

choose to trust you today 

and always and will no 

longer lean on my own 

understanding. I cast all 

my worries on You. Take 

away every spirit of doubt 

and worry from my 

heart. I choose to believe 

that You have a good plan 

and will bring me to a 

ourishing nish in the 

mighty name of Jesus. 

Amen!

“You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. 

You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is!” 

Job 1:10 

A HEDGE OF PROTECTION 

Once you are in Christ you have Gods Hedge around you. That does not mean 

problems or adversaries won t arise? There will be more than you can imagine but you 

won t be going through it all alone. The presence of God will never leave you nor 

forsake you. Gods hedge of protection around His children is part of Gods promise. 

This hedge can only be removed by Gods permission. 

Job had to face all kinds of adversity and tough times. But those dif culties were not a 

surprise to God. Satan's attacks against Job didn't catch God off guard. The Scripture 

says the enemy had to ask permission before he could touch Job. He couldn't bring one 

thing against him unless God allowed him to act. 

It would be nice to think God builds a hedge of protection around everyone, but the 

truth is, He is looking for people who have surrendered their lives to Him to become 

His child. Do you want to have a divine hedge in your life? Then your goal should be to 

become a child of God. God provides a hedge of protection for those who honour Him. 

He has a protection plan for each of His children. Plans that does not expire. They are 

full coverage protection plans and are in enforcement 24/7 in all the 365 days a year. 

Psalm 91:5 says; He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His 

wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Your af ictions many be 

many but don't forget there is a protection plan for that one too in Psalm 34:19 Many 

are the af ictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him/her out of them all. 

When we face problems, there is a real peace when we understand God is in complete 

control, not just of my circumstances, but God is in control of my enemies. That 

means there is no person that can keep you down, no sickness too great, no trouble or 

calamity that can keep you from ultimately living in victory. God always cause us to 

triumph. He had the solution before we ever had the problem. God had a way out 

before we even encountered the dif culty. He has it all arranged. I may not 

understand the theology of it all. But the bottom line is this; God is still on the throne, 

and He has promised that if we will stay in faith, no weapon formed against us is ever 

going to prosper. 

Prayer 

For The Day 


Your many promises. I 

choose today to accept 

Your truth which sets me 

free. I declare by faith 

that no weapon formed 

against me shall ever 

prosper in Jesus name. 

Amen.

“If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, 

because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.” 

John 15:19 

YOU ARE CHOSEN 

God doesn t choose us because we t into a box. He doesn t place us into 

groups based on our intelligence. He chooses us because He loves us. Even 

before we were born, God chose us and knew that we would be where we are 

right now. 

The prophet Jeremiah writes: The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 

before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you 

apart. 

Being chosen for a special role or task feels good. Being part of something that 

is greater and bigger than yourself makes you feel wanted, needed and 

accepted. God chose you to be His child, and share in the blessings of His 

family. You have been chosen out of the world, so you don t have to live by the 

words expectations or standards any more. 

You don t have to drive a certain car or live in a certain neighborhood to be 

accepted, instead you are accepted by God just the way you are. You are special 

because you have been personally and individually chosen by God to be His 

representative and witness in this world. God is working His purposes in you. 

He has given you gi s, talents, and abilities to ful ll you destiny. If you ve 

experienced rejection in your past, know that you are important and needed 

right where you are. So go out and live like a chosen child of God today!! 

Because of Jesus, there is greatness on the inside of you. As you study and 

meditate on the Word of God, may the Lord open your eyes to enable you 

realize your true potential. May He help you to discover who you really are so 

you can live the good life He has called you to! 

Crossover into the month of March with con dence, knowing that the Lord 

will continue to bless you and protect you. May He smile on you and be 

gracious to you. And May He show you His favor. I DECLARE; THE MONTH OF 

MARCH IS YOUR MONTH OF PRAISE!! 

Prayer For The Day 

Father God, thank You 

for choosing me. Thank 

You for equipping me. 

Help me to see myself 

the way You see me. 

Show me Your ways 

that I may walk with You 

in confidence and trust 

all the days of my life in 

Jesus’ name. Amen
