SCRIPTURE: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Praying in the Sprit takes the battle from the physical to the spiritual. Prayer is a vital tool or weapon in the hands of the child of God. The place of prayer in the life and growth of a Christian cannot be overemphasized. Paul the apostle admonished us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, to pray without ceasing. And one thing we do without ceasing is breathing. This means, we are expected to pray as we breathe. One dimension of prayer that yields great results is praying in the Spirit. The Spirit helps our infirmities and makes us to pray fervently without struggle (Romans 8:26). Now, why is praying in the Spirit necessary? Praying in the Spirit engages God and satan; supernatural versus supernatural. It takes the battle from the physical into the spiritual realm, and when you step into that spiritual dimension, victory is guaranteed. Remember this: Praying in the Sprit takes the battle from the physical to the spiritual. ASSIGNMENTS: PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You empower me to pray always. I receive the grace to conquer prayerlessness and spiritual lethargy, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: PRAYER BOOSTERS.

SCRIPTURE: And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward: Isaiah 37:31 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The buoyancy of your relationship with God determines the vibrancy of your life on earth. Progress with God is progress indeed. It has been confirmed that every product on earth is made of a combination of forces, factors, raw materials, or organs. For example, in the university system, you have various departments or units. You have the vice chancellor who oversees the entire university. You have the registrar, the accounting and bursary staff; other academic and non-academic staff, etc. Everything works together in synergy to ensure the university system functions effectively. In the same manner, some factors or forces must be in place for a person’s destiny to be fulfilled. Now, what are these factors or forces?i. The force of spirituality (Isaiah 37:31).How far you go with God determines how far you can go in life. The buoyancy of your relationship with God determines the vibrancy of your life on earth. Progress with God is progress indeed. You cannot lag behind in life when you go far with God. ii. The force of mentality (Prov. 23:7).Mentality sets the pace for destiny. It is the pacesetter for destiny. The mind of a man determines his limits in life. Where the mind stops working, life stops working. The reason why the life of a mad man does not work is because his mind is not …

SCRIPTURE: Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:14-16. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Coming into prayer of agreement with someone is a pathway to healing. In the journey of life, I have discovered that confrontations can come without invitation or even provocation. Some confrontations could be in the form of attacks on health. Someone can slip into ill-health because of a satanic confrontation or an attack on the body. All these are attacks on one’s faith. People can also slip into ill-health by carelessness. Sin can be a major cause of ill-health. Now, how do you regain your health if you fall sick? The following are some avenues and provisions for recovery of health. i. Confession and forgiveness of sins (James 5:16).This is a situation where you go before God confessing your sins and obtaining forgiveness. You present yourself before God and say, “O Lord, in case, there is something that I am doing that is not right; something that may have brought this sickness upon me, or any way in my life …

SCRIPTURE: So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 1 Kings 10:23-25. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The wealth of God always follows the wisdom of God. All through Scriptures, it is made clear that there is a connection between wisdom and wealth. The manifestation of wisdom always triggers the release of wealth. Let me give you one example. Pharaoh made Joseph the controller of the wealth of Egypt because of Joseph’s wisdom. Joseph did not only interpret Pharaoh’s dream but prescribed the solution to the famine that was revealed (Genesis 41:39-43). This means, anywhere wisdom is present, wealth abounds. The wealth of God always follows the wisdom of God. Also, the Wisdom of Solomon brought wealth to him (1 Kings 10:23-25). King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom; all the earth came to him to hear his wisdom which God has put in his heart, and as they came, they brought silver and gold to him. To hear the Wisdom of Solomon, people brought wealth to him. So, anywhere wisdom is available, wealth is at home. Wealth travels in the direction of wisdom. So, supernatural wealth would follow supernatural wisdom. Apart …

TUESDAY 31 JANUARY, 2023 SCRIPTURE: When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 8: 16-17. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: At the Cross of Calvary, Jesus took away our sicknesses and diseases. It has been established that the Cross of Calvary is the final straw that broke the back of the devil and the gates of hell. At the Cross of Calvary, many changes or exchanges happened. Now, let us see examples of the exchange or exchanges that took place at the Cross of Calvary:i) At the Cross of Calvary, Christ took our sins and gave us His Righteousness.2 Corinthians 5:21 says,For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.He took our sin and exchanged or replaced it with His Righteousness at the Cross of Calvary. ii) At the Cross of Calvary, Christ took our sickness and gave us His healthThe second exchange that took place at the Cross of Calvary is, Christ took our sickness and gave us His health. This is why Isaiah 53:4-5 says,Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded …
