Whatever you are facing right now is temporal- it has an expiration date.
Just as all good things have a beginning, likewise all bad things have an end.
Some of the Truth that are unending or enduring are;
*God is the Eternal Self Existing-One.
*Jesus Christ is the Lord who died to save the world.
*Unless you are born again, you cannot see, enter or inherit the Kingdom of God.
*The Holy Spirit is still working in, and through Believers.
* We shall all give account to God how we lived the life that He gave us.
Whether you believe the above Truth does not diminish or add to it.
IMPORTANT:
Recently, I heard in the news how the best yacht in the world sank, killing its owners and his friends.
He sailed with his friends to celebrate a legal win.
Interestingly, not only did he die, the majority of those who fought with him to win the case, also died.
Very sad indeed.
If he had lost the case, he would have been sentenced to a 20 years jail term.
At least the jail term would have ended, but he won the case and his life ended temporarily.
Remember this:
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, KJV
Let us Pray
Almighty God, thank you for the life you gave me.
Thank you for all the troubles I have experienced, for you caused them to work for my good and make a better person of me.
Forgive me Father, for observing lying vanities and forsaking my own mercies ( Read Jonah 2:8-10)
You are more important to me than all the pursuits of life that took my attention from You.
Help me Father to reprioritize my priorities, and to work better at my relationship with you.
I yield my time and money to You Father, help me to put them in their places and not pursue temporal things instead of things with eternal values.
From today, I declare that I will be more obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and do that which will bring honor to Your name.
I refuse to bow to the god of money nor expend my energy on that which has no eternal values.
Help me to tend and keep the garden you have given to me, by providing work that will be both financially rewarding, and emotionally fulfilling.
Let there be a clear distinction between me and non Christians.
Thank You Father for blessing our food and water, and, for restraining the diseases in the world from attacking us.
Just as the house of Potiphar prospered because of Joseph, bless everyone who is connected and related to me, by blood, adoption, marriage, and by faith, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

*To depend more on God than the government or others.
Yesterday, I had some more pleasant surprises.
A while back, I had thought of certain things I needed, which I strongly desired.
But considering the economic situation of the world, and the fact that we have no income, so to speak, I put it down in the prayer list in my heart.
Over and beyond what I had strongly desired in my heart, God made it happen for me.
Similar to my experience is the Bible story of how Gehazi, (Prophet Elisha’s servant), was at the same place, at the same time, with the Shunamite woman.
Which resulted in the woman to become highly favored by the King (See 2 Kings 8:1-6)
The desires of my heart were granted beyond my expectations. It was so amazing. Glory be to God.
I pray that God will make your expectations become reality, in Jesus name.
Learn to look beyond the limitations of your finances, status, age, race, etc. and see God as the Great Provider, and hold fast to His assurances.
“ For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give” Romans 8:32 TPT
What can God not give His children? He is such a doting Father.
I pray that you never experience His wrath like Sodom and Gomorrah, in Jesus name.
#PrayerPoints4Today :
*Thank God for the prayer channel that you have with Him.
*Perhaps you have believed in your heart that your situation is beyond God’s help, this is the time to apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9
*Thank God that He hears you when you call, whether in distress or in joy.
*Affirm that because His mercy is unending, and His Word is true, He will turn your disgrace to great grace and songs of joy.
*Thank God for rolling away your reproaches by: pay increase, better working conditions, giving your ministry consistent financial partners, new employment and better housing, and for that new pair of shoes, or free groceries, and clothes.
*Just Thank Him from whom All good comes.
*Commune in your heart when upon your bed, and pour out the desires of your heart to Him. Then be still.
Leave it there -with God, and quit worrying about it.
Because you believe in God, you shall always enjoy pleasant surprises, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Back in the days when I lectured in a Theological College, there was this group of misinformed Believers, who strongly believed that salvation is by ‘faith and works’, which is contrary to the fundamental Doctrines of Salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9 which states that,
“By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV).
The very next verse tells us that we are ”created in Christ Jesus unto good works” (Ephesians 2:10).
Which signifies that the new creation in Christ has been created for good works.
Good Works are the evidence that we are born again.
Those who take a stand that God’s free gift of salvation requires personal effort, call God a liar.
Whereas, God already stated that any personal effort to attain righteousness, is like filthy rags to Him (Isaiah 64:6)
Nothing you can do can earn you salvation!
Although, It is futile to argue with those classes of self-righteous people because it is a mindset issue, we should also recognize it as a satanic strategy aimed at crippling faith in God and spiritual growth.
Satan keeps people busy with non-existent battles, and arguing over nonessentials. He is also a master of the art of persuasive arguments aimed at making you disobey God.
Do not be ignorant if his devices.
Run your race so that you will win a prize. winning Theological arguments will not put you in heaven.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved!
One of the reasons the Israelites of old suffered grossly, was because they were a ‘stiff-necked people’ (Exodus 33:3-5, 34:9).
When people are close-minded, they keep going in circles.
That was me, before I broke away from the religious traditions and searched the scriptures for myself.
Don’t be that person whose life is in a sorry state because of unbelief.
The power of sin over your life has been destroyed.
Christ manifested to destroy the works of the devil 1 John 3:8
You have been empowered to live righteously in this life (Roman 5:15-21, 2 Peter 1:3-4)
#PrayerPoints4Today:
*Thank God for the Salvation of your soul.
* Declare that sin have no control over you..
*Declare that you have been made righteous by Christ and that you refuse to go back to your past where you were a condemned sinner.
*Declare that you are a living and saved saint, who has been bought with a price, the precious blood of Christ , which is speaking better things on your behalf.
*Affirm that the chain of afflictions, sicknesses, witchcraft manipulations and projections, as well as, doctrines of devils, sin consciousness, and all altars of false righteousness and false beliefs, are destroyed today.
*Acknowledge that in the past, you allowed the burden of sin to make you feel unworthy, rejected, and unclean.
*Thank God for forgiveness of sins and the cleansing of all your unrighteousness.
*Affirm that you are God’s beloved, and worth the prize of God’s begotten Son to lay His life for you.
*Affirm that it is God who is working in you to do His will, and you are grateful that HE will always help you to not yield to temptation.
*Command all the voices of accusations to be silenced for the Blood is speaking justification, righteousness and holiness on your behalf.
* Boldly Say:
Not today satan,
I know who I am, there is no condemnation to me for I walk by the Spirit and the flesh has no control over me.
*I refuse to go into any religious bondage ever again, for the Master has set me free, and I am free Indeed.
*All the evil spirits trying to impose sin-consciousness on me are to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
I am a servant of righteousness and not a slave to sin, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

You owe your success in life and ministry to God, and not to your beauty, intelligence, height, weight, or the people you know!
Bible Base for today:
Romans 9:16-33
Spend some time today, to review your life, and let gratitude, well-up in you.
Not many intelligent, beautiful, strong and confident people are successful, have kids, have a great marriage or manage a successful business
But look at you today, the least among equals! See how far God brought you.
Where were the naysayers, and dream killers when God took you from the least and made you the greatest?
When God raises you up, in rank, character or power, no one can bring you down.
Don’t lose sleep worrying about the venom, power and vindictiveness of your foes.
Their plots, lies, slandering and manipulation cannot harm you.
Their busy-ness is futile. For it is written that “ those who challenge you will go down in defeat” (Read Isaiah 54:15 TPT)
Instead, spend time worshiping God for who He is, and has been to you.
He is taking you to perfection! Hallelujah.
Remember that nobody or the fiercest demon in hell can stop it.
#MyPrayer4you:
Today, I stand with you in prayer and thank God for the great promotions you have received in life.
And I declare that you shall excel in your career, workplace, relationship, businesses, and finances.
Mercy shall surround you as a shield, and grace and favor will continue to work for you.
All your tears of frustration and helplessness, are wiped away, and replaced with songs of thanksgiving and deliverance, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

*Humble satan’s human agents who are decisively fighting against the purposes of God in our Homeland.
Bible Base:
Psalm 2:9
Ephesians 2:2
If you love your Homeland, pray from your heart ❤️
Part 2
#Prayer4Today:
Father God, thank You for rescuing us from following the ways of this world and from the decadence in the world.
Even as we identify with the sins of our Homeland, and ask for forgiveness of sins, and receive forgiveness and cleansings, we disassociate our bloodlines from all the evils in practice.
We renounce satan and all his gifts, positions, power, money, and sexual immoralities.
We disassociate ourselves and our bloodlines from covenants, pacts, agreements, and anything else that our political or religious leaders have entered into with satan’s kingdom of darkness on our behalf.
We affirm our faith in the Most High God, and declare that we are Holy unto God, and He our God will not allow us to be corrupted in this world.
By the supernatural power given me as a Child of the Most High God, I stand against the ruler of the power of the air: that evil spirit that is now working in unbelievers who are fighting against God’s purposes in our world.
And as an Oracle of God, I hereby run interferences to stop all satan’s activities and negate his influences in our world, especially in this Homeland ( name it)
I declare that all acts of disobedience will be exposed and judged immediately so that evils will be contained.
In unity of faith with all Believers and followers of Christ, we plead the blood of Jesus Christ against all modern day blood sacrifices through termination of pregnancies, and interference with the natural flow of sperm and the process of fertilization.
We affirm that the only acceptable sacrifice is the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and every human involved in these evil acts, are called to repentance or be Divinely removed.
We command all satanic blood banks to implode, and the chain of supply to disintegrate.
We call a speedy bankruptcy on all the businesses that are using harvested fetuses in products that are being generally circulated to desecrate humans.
We release destruction upon all reinforcements and confusion in the camp of the human perpetrators of evils in our Homeland, so that God’s judgment will not fall in our land.
The fear and dread of God, be upon all who have yielded themselves as tools to the devil to steal happiness, kill joy and destroy lives.
And if they fail to repent, Father, break them with a rod of iron…dash them in pieces like potter’s ware, demonstrating your Omnipotence.
We call an end to the display of evils so that impressionable young minds will not imitate them.
I release frustrations and open shame on all the efforts of those that are trying hard to enthrone ungodliness in our world. Let their gods fail them.
Father, show up strong for your people. Be merciful to us, your people and judge the ongoing evils.
We command all the evil spirits working through all the images of foreign gods and altars to leave at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
We release the consuming fire from God that consumes evil, to be upon all the images and altars of foreign gods that have been erected in our homeland, which our pioneers dedicated to God.
As citizens of this country, we rededicate our Homeland to You. Be God, and be big, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, August 25th 2024
If you love your Homeland and desire to see changes, you gotta pray earnestly.
#Prayer4Today:
Father God, in accordance with your Word, I ask that you give me my Homeland (mention the name) as my inheritance and that my domain stretch beyond continental and national boundaries.
I ask also that your grace that brings salvation will appear to the non-Christians in my Homeland.
I receive my inheritance and command all the plans of the rebellious to be frustrated and their foolish plots to be futile.
As the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit, and the rulers scheme and confer together against God’s people in these lands of my inheritance, they will fail woefully and God in His Majesty will laugh at them and mock at their madness.
Father God, I affirm that You are the righteous judge of the world and you will arise in the fierceness and fury of your anger to settle the issues and terrify them to death.
We ask also Father, that you reveal yourself to them and bring them to repentance, fir only Your goodness can lead them to repentance.
All the evil spirits working in the rebellious leaders and rulers are to leave at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
I command all their satanic structures and infrastructures to be destroyed and their captives set free, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Prioritize Godly values above politics, race, gender, economics, family, and general opinions.
Bible Base:
Psalms 1:1, 9:17
In the model prayer, Jesus Christ taught us to ask the Father. “ Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done on earth…” (Matthew 6:10).
Which means, we are part of the workforce for establishing the God-Kind of government in our world.
Furthermore, when Jesus Christ received “All authority in heaven and earth, He delegated that same power and authority to us, and gave us the power of attorney to use His name as well.( Read Matthew 28:18, Luke 10:19, John 14:12-14, Mark 16:17)
No Believer should be wimpy, fearful, confused, intimidated or manipulated
In the season that we are now, it is important to clearly define who you are and WHO you belong to.
As a Christian, your first loyalty is to God, and every other person takes 3rd place after you.
You cannot love your neighbors or your government, more than God or more than you love yourself.
You must watch out for yourself and pray (Matthew 26:41).
If you love the Lord God with all your heart, passion, energy and every thought, then, pleasing and doing His will, should take precedence over everything and everyone (Read Luke 10:27, Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30-31).
God’s will is for His Kingdom to come and His will be done here on earth, as it is in heaven.
Personal Testimony:
Years ago, while doing missions in Africa, a situation arose that put the faith and loyalty of Christians on test.
The political puppeteer knew the power of the religious leaders over their followers, their lack of morality and disloyalty to Christ Jesus.
These satanic agents strategically met with some leaders of the major religious groups (Christians and Muslims). And the compromise candidates were chosen- president (muslim) vice (Christian).
This happened at a time when the ruling president was a Christian, and still had one more term.
The then president, a God-honoring Christian, refused to accept the Islamization agendas, and manipulations of the ‘church-fathers’.
Unfortunately, the pharisaical leaders compromised their beliefs, and joined with those whose policies and values do not align with God’s values.
Majority of the “church-fathers” turned their church-buildings, and campgrounds, into political campaign venues.
Christians sold out their faith and loyalty to God, for a morsel of food.
These modern day Pharisees, “ the useful idiots” (as the non-christians call them), were given money to mobilize their members to come out enmasse to vote for the non-christian.
The ‘sheep’ were deceived and manipulated to focus on non-essentials while ignoring God’s will and values.
They did not understand that there was an Islamization agenda that was being pushed by the puppeteer, hence the choice of the presidential candidate.
Look at your nation.
1). Who are being pushed as presidential candidates?
2). Do their values conflict with God’s world views, values and His will?
3). Are you being victimized with false evidence, so that you will compromise your faith and loyalty to God?
4. Do you not know that persecution is an aspect of loyalty to God and that God will never fail you?
Before my people compromised, I was not silent. I met with some Christian leaders and discussed God’s perfect will with them.
They said to me, it was too late, the decision was already made. I wept.
God said to me, “quit crying, read how Samuel thought they rejected him, whereas in actual fact, they rejected ME”.
God told me that they will suffer and cry out but won’t repent.
And their sufferings will continue until they repent, then HE will hear and rescue them.
* I have these in my WordPress blog.
The first 4 years were horrible, but God protected those who did not compromise.
Once again, the people cried out to God, and like before, they fell for the god of money and politics, and the manipulations of the media and religious leaders.
After 8 years, they cried again, under the yokes of oppression- churches were bombed, pastors were burnt alive, christian girl-schools were ravaged and the girls abducted to become sexslaves or suicide bombers. Kidnappings and highway banditry increased.
As for the useful idiots who allowed their personal ambition to conflict with God’s world views and values, some died prematurely, some are sick and have lost respect and integrity.
However, the people who blindly followed their unrighteous leaders are groaning and sighing (See Proverbs 29:2)
Your Part:
Do not be a useful idiot.
Refuse to compromise your faith in God with loyalty to sects, family, party, ideologies, race, gender, or popular opinions.
Instead, look for policies and values that relate to your Biblical Beliefs and Godly standards.
Remember, “we are ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
Let us Pray:
Father God, we love you with every atom of our beings and are committed to upholding your values in our world.
We stand against all unrighteousness in agreement with your Word that all unrighteousness is sin. (1 John 5:17)
And in repentance, we humbly acknowledge that we were blinded by the gods of color and politics, gender bias, fear of the unknown and ignorance.
We ask and receive mercy, forgiveness of sins, and cleansings from all unrighteousness, in accordance with your Word (2 Chronicles 4:17, Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1: 9)
I commit to be associated with your worldviews for the enthronement of righteousness in our world.
Let Your kingdom come O God and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We command to stay cast down at once, all philosophies, policies, ideologies, values, etc., that will alienate or dissociate people emotionally from You.
We stand against the forces of evils that are interfering with the decision making abilities of the people, and confusing them with lies, skin color, gender, and deceptive policies that will eventually dehumanize.
Help us O God, to not compromise our Godly values in our bid to please others.
Keep working ‘in your’ people, Father God, both to do your will and not to fall for the deceptive lies of satan and his human agents.
We proclaim our liberty in Christ, and refuse to go under any yoke of oppression in any disguise.
Thank you Father, for exposing and destroying the hold of satan over our emotions, reasoning, and will power.
Thank You also for creating confusion among your enemies, and dismantling the structures and infrastructures of propaganda.
We bow before Your thrones in surrender to Your will and refuse to comprise our faith, values and loyalty to You, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ❤️

Finally, we have new roofing after the tornado damage that hit Rogers Ark., over Memorial Day weekend.
We are absolutely thankful to God that one of the great reminders of that traumatic event is finally gone.
I can understand how unsafe and insecure people feel with those tarps over their rooftops!
Some homes were completely wrecked and had to be rebuilt.
With God’s help, I pray these painful memories will be deleted and replaced with happier ones for everyone of us.
I am all emotional as I remember that night- the tornado siren, the sound of the storm and the wind on the trees, the blackout,and the storm watcher calling out the name of our street, telling us the tornado was upon us, as we strained to hear him from our cell phone.
And the sudden eerie silence!
That was my first tornado experience. And God comforted me: none of my outdoor hanging plants fell. All the trees and limbs fell around my plants, but not a leaf dropped from my plants.
But God…
I pray for all those whose homes are still undergoing repairs, that it will be done swiftly, and that their lives will get better too.
And for those whose homes and businesses were damaged, I pray that they receive all the aid they need, and for God to show up strong for them.
God bless everyone who rose up to help the people of Rogers, and those of Benton county.
We are grateful.
May we not return this favor to you.
I pray that you will always have support and never be perplexed in life and that God, in His infinite Goodness, will remember you all for good, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
