When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth? The water rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than 20 feet. Every living thing that moved on the earth perished ? birds, livestock, wild animals and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men, animals and birds of the air. BUT GOD REMEMBERED NOAH and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and He sent a wind over the earth, and the water receded. Genesis 7: 17-23; 8:1

As I read this scripture, I couldn?t help but reflect on the many storms that we often face in life: natural disasters, the storm of rejection, divorce, family problems, anger, doubt, unemployment, fear, hunger, shame, loneliness and unforgiving folks. To make matters worse, in the midst of those storms, there are the gale force winds of anxiety and the clouds of utter darkness.There is a tendency to panic, feel frustrated, overwhelmed and abandoned. You probably ask where is God? Where is that light from the lighthouse? What is taking Him so long? Why doesn?t He rescue me? Can?t He see that the 20 foot wave is about to destroy me? Why does He wait until the sickness has lingered, the bill collector is knocking, or until the money is all gone?I don?t know, but one thing is for sure, God has not forgotten you. He sees you and He cares deeply about you! Yes, He watches closely for each individual. His timing is always right and He will always do what is best.

Through him we can all find rest despite the catastrophes that harass our world.Isaiah 49: 15-16 states: ?Can a mother forget the baby at Her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands?.It is so reassuring to know that every-time God looks at His hands He sees us. God knows us by name. We are also reminded in Matthew 10:30 that the very hairs on our head are numbered! Whenever we feel alone or rejected, whenever we feel pain, we can know that God has not forgotten us and He will help us find a way out of any situation no matter how bleak the circumstances may appear.Also, let us not forget God through our storms.

Every time, I reflect on God?s goodness and how He has always taken me through past crisis, I am put to shame for every moment of doubt that creeps up. Remember, because of Jesus, everything and anything will work for good as you love God. God is not surprised by our situations!Like God did in the days of Noah, He continues to do and is about to do today. He is sending His wind over your situation so the waters may recede.

Welcome His presence and allow His anointing to saturate every crevice of your being; If you are not in His will, He is offering a new beginning to those of us who will return to him. Notice when God is at the helm how chaos quickly turns to calm.Though you hear nothing, He is speaking. Though you see nothing, He is acting. Every incident in your life is intended to bring you closer to Him. God has already made a way. Enter into His presence with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise and allow him to show you the path to HIS WAY.

Let me close with my favourite scripture that I have used for many years to minister to myself. ?So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and Help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand?. Isaiah 41: 10(NIV).

Happy new month.

Worry is disquieting thought, fear, care and anxiety about known realities and unknown future realities. It is deadly and has nothing positive to offer its victims other than load load them with stress and disability and disease.

Worry wrecks havoc on your health. When you worry, you feel a rush of adrenaline; your heart rate and blood pressure go up. Once this happen, you are at increase risk of numerous health problems.

In addition, worry makes the liver to produce excess cholesterol, which causes serious health issues like heart attack and stroke.
Worry is a choice. So choose not to worry by casting all your cares on God. He cares for you.

Children need God?s power more than ever, right now! So why wait until your child becomes an adult before allowing him/her enter into the fullness of God?s spirit? You can lead him/her into the experience today. How do you do that? First, model the Spirit-filled life before him/her. As you cannot lead someone where you have never been yourself, so also you cannot effectively lead your child into the baptism with the Holy Spirit experience until you receive him yourself. If you have not receive the Spirit baptism with initial evidences of speaking in tongues, now is the time to seek it.
Children learn by imitation. If you model a Spirit-filled life before your child, he/she will learn from your example. In fact, children learn better by watching your example than by listening to your words. Exhibit the extraordinary gifts of wisdom, knowledge, discernment, faith and working of miracles before your child. Let him/ her see your boldness in preaching the gospel and in everything you do as well as your fervency in prayer, then you will be an advertisement of spirit-filled life.

In addition to modeling the Spirit-filled life, set aside specific times to teach your child about the Holy Spirit and the baptism with the Holy Spirit. It is important to teach a child who the Holy Spirit is, , what he does in the life of a Christian and the benefits of being baptized with the Holy Spirit. When children are exposed to the Holy Spirit and receive answers to their question, they will desire to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Many people are hidden throughout their life-time. They seem to be covered all of their days in the shadows of other men. Somehow, they are not able to escape obscurity because of circumstances that were never created by them.

Not all men shine in life. In life, not all men see glory. The Bible talks of Jabez ?Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him ′Jabez′ saying, ′Because I bore him with pain.? Now, that is real misery. How will God from heaven call the name of a man ?honour? and singularly by the proclamation of his own very mother his glory becomes entrapped. As many people who are reading this today whose destiny is glory but are living a life of misery because of the proclamation of other men; may the Almighty God change your story permanently in Jesus name.

Jabez was not alone in this misery. The book of Ecclesiastes paints a terrible scenario of some children of kings. It says ?There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: 6: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 7: I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth? (Ecc 10:5-7). Now that is a misnomer, but it is the reality of many persons. As many people who are born with glory but whom the sons of strangers daily usurp your rights and privileges I pray that there will be a restoration today in the mighty name of Jesus.

The Lord; speaking through the Prophet Isaiah in Isa 60:1 gave a commandment ?Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee?. Now, this is not a plea. It is a powerful instruction. Interestingly however, the very Isaiah who was used of God to give this instruction had at a time himself been under cover. The Bible referencing him in Isa 6:1 says. It was in the year that King Uziah died that he saw the Lord. He had been born a prophet and ordained as one from his mother?s womb but here he was not being able to see a thing or even hear from God all through the dispensation of a king. I pray for everyone reading this piece, may your glory not be covered because a man is reigning.

Now, when we talk about ?emerging? we are basically talking about seeing a man shine whose glory has hitherto been hidden. When we talk about emerging we speak about making known what was hitherto unknown. Perhaps you are reading this right now and your name has never been heard beyond the lips of your family members, I am happy to tell you that the commandment to emerge is specifically for you. Starting from now, it is the wish of God that you will not be obscure.

Obscurity is a dangerous thing for anyone. If a product is obscure, it cannot sell. If a man is not known however good he is, he may struggle to get great opportunities. If a man lives in obscurity, his life is generally more difficult. Obscurity places the lid on the reach of men. I remember the man by the name Mephibosheth (2 Sam: 9). King David had felt indebted to Jonathan his father and wanted desperately to bless him but the challenges of life including his lameness had kept him away from the reach of men which made him to wallow in obscurity at Lodebar. He had a waiting helper but he was not visible. Thank God for Ziba. This is the exact reason why God is commanding you to emerge so that your helpers of destiny can more easily reach you.

Now, I need to let you know that no one can ever emerge without a fight. Have you ever seen the chick emerge from the shell before? It is always a struggle. The shell wants to hold it back. It wriggles its way out. When it is out, it is wet, frail and vulnerable. When you make the move to ?show up? expect a fight. The forces that held you down hitherto will not let you go without a fight. The prophesy over the life of Jacob had been that of ?excellent greatness?- the latter shall serve the former. The reality of his life however was misery. He had gone to the house of Laban to serve two decades and as he returned, he was about to be cheated out of his entitlement for those years. This was the circumstances of the life of Jacob until he had that famous opportunity to ?wrestle with an angel? and then his life took a glorious turn. From being a con-man, God renamed him Israel. His life was transformed. Just imagine if like when he met God for the first time at Bethel he slept through the light again. His destiny would never really have been optimally expressed.

Secondly, ?emerge? speaks of the best of you that God actually created. Perhaps, you are also like Jacob right now having just enough in Laban?s house and ideally would like to stay back in the comfort of the misleading security and provisions of a strange land. It is time to consider whether indeed this is the best that God created you to be. Now, I am not asking if you can afford three square meals or have a house and a car. That is actually subsistent living. I am asking if you are fulfilling the promise of your maker so eloquently spoken in John 10:10 ?I have come that they might have life abundantly?. Dear reader, nothing makes a man regret at the end of life more than finding that he could have been a lot more if only he stepped out of his security. The Bible speaking of the requirements for greatness in Mark 8:35 says ?Whoever would gain his life must first lose it?. That is the paradox of the emergence. People who are laid back in comfort refusing to try new things or step into uncharted waters hardly ever emerge,

Dear friend, it is your time to emerge. I believe in your capacity to emerge but you must do more than talking about your emergence. You must tarry in prayer, wrestle with some enemies of progress and step out of your comfort from obscurity into visibility.

I wish you a happy month of February.

Harvest always gladdens the soul. When the barns are being gathered, it is always a delight to behold. Everybody is smiling. No one comes to harvest frowning because harvest is always a thing of joy. As many as have labored who are earnestly waiting for harvest may the God of heaven release your harvest in this season in Jesus? name.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Gen 8:22)
These are the words of God. So, for every sowing, there is a time of reaping; but that is whether you sow evil or good. There is always an aftermath for every deed.
But I like us to particularly note a few things about harvests.

Harvest is not automatic- True, the word of God says ?Seed time and harvest will not cease?. But what is hidden in that word is the type of harvest. If you do not work your ground, your harvest would be corrupt. Between sowing and harvest there is weeding, there is watering and there is manuring.

Harvest is a differentiator- Everyone goes to work but not everyone produces the same kind of results. I remember the parable of the talents and the very thoughts of productivity. We are all given 24 hours but not everyone makes a legacy of their life. When we look at the life of 50 year olds who died with 50 patents you are shocked of how so well they have used life. Many use each day of their lives to gist and watch movies. Whether you went to the same school or you are age mates when you look at your harvest we can tell whether indeed you are mates or not. Please understand that age does not make people mates, it is harvest and result that differentiates people in life.

Harvest is pre-determined in sowing. As Mark 4:2-9 pointed out; it is not enough to sow. It is more important to take intentional note of the ground on which you sow. If like the foolish sower you choose the rocky ground to plant; the result of your harvest will be failure. If in contrast you choose the fertile ground, doing so much first to ascertain that indeed the ground is fertile enough for harvest then you can expect a bountiful harvest.

Lastly; it is important to note the role of the devourers of harvest- the termites, the weevils, grasshoppers and locusts. It is the duty of the devourer to devour. It is the duty of the owner of the harvest to keep guards against them. The Bible says ?The devil does not come but to steal, to kill and to destroy (John 10:10)?. In this year, don?t ever get casual about your harvest. Don?t ever take nonsense from the devil. It is often a small rot that corrupts the whole yam. When the devil strikes with head ache it is necessary to send it back before it becomes migraine. When you get a high BP result don?t play with it else it becomes hypertension. That?s the devil threatening the harvest of your good health.

This year is the year of doers. 2019 is the year for people who are INTENTIONAL about their harvest and will preserve it with their strength. In 2019, be a doer.

As the year was running to an end; as usual I sought the face of the Lord that Father, what is the New Year going to be like.

And then we have a little problem. The little problem is that in Nigeria, this is the Election Year and anything I say will be twisted by who? By the Politicians!

So Lord I want to know what the New Year is going to be like and yet am afraid that if you tell me, and I tell them it will be twisted.

Oh thank God for God.

It is a Good Thing to be close to God. I beg you this year 2019 be close to Him.

So the Lord reminded me and say that is no problem. He remembered when at the table - The Last Supper I had with my disciples. When I said that one of them will betray me.

And they were asking me who will do it. And Peter beckoned to John the Beloveth and say: You ask Him, He will tell you. And John asked Him. And I told John that I won′t mention his name but I will take a little bread, put it in the stew and put it in his mouth.

He (God) said to me that we can see talk in codes.

... So codes.

Glory be to God!

The following therefore are the Year 2019 Prophesies:

1. FOR INTERNATIONAL SCENE:

Joel 2:28-32 KJV

28. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.

32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

2. FOR NIGERIA:

Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV

22. It is of the Lord′s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

... So those of us who are already praying for God to be Merciful continue your Prayers as you are on the right track.

3. FOR INDIVIDUALS

Isaiah 3:10-11 KJV

10. Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him : for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him : for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

4. And since everything is in codes: FOR RCCG:

Psalms 91:1-end

So you cannot say Adeboye said. You can only say “It is Written“.

... Glory be to God - Hallelujah!!!

__________
8. When bad things happen in your life, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
_________
9. Our eyes are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look backwards.
_________
10. We use pencil when we were young, but now we use pens. Do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can easily be erased, unlike now.

Wish you a prosperous 2019.
