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: For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV). THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Money gotten from dubious dealings is called evil money. Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Many people indulge in all kinds of dubious dealings in order to get money. Money gotten from dubious dealings is called evil money.  One example of evil money is money gotten from theft or cheating. Theft or cheating could happen in different ways. It could be the refusal to pay hired labourers their due rewards or wages.  Low income earners like drivers, cleaners, manual labourers, etc. are usually treated unfairly just because they are not as powerful as their employers.  For instance, you may have labourers who work for you on a project site and you are to pay each person Seven Thousand Naira (N7,000.00) daily, but you rather decide to pay them Three Thousand Naira (N3,000.00). Now, because they are poor, they cannot talk.  When they ask and complain that their money is not complete, you bark at them, “Go away my friend. Don’t you know how the economy is? Or is it because I paid you something at all?”  But the balance of the money you decide to keep for yourself out of your workers’ wages is evil money. All the money …

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 …
