One of my favorite scriptures is from 1 Peter 4:11, which says:
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11)
When you pair this with Luke 10:19, you’ll be amazed at the authority you have as a believer in Christ. You are called to speak as an oracle—confidently, boldly, and with the backing of God’s power.
In Mark 16:17, Jesus assures us that we have the power of attorney in His Name!
Change the way you talk.
Be bold and brave.
Speak with authority:
Knowing that this morning,
I release to you the anointing of God’s Spirit that vitalizes, prospers, and heals.
Be well in your spirit.
Be well in your soul.
Be well in your body.
The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. Grace and favor will work for you always, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom,

Among all the heroes of faith, the unwavering trust of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego truly inspires me.
These three faithful servants boldly defied King Nebuchadnezzar by refusing to worship his gods-even knowing that such disobedience meant death.
When questioned, they did not attempt to justify their actions. Instead, with steadfast conviction, they declared:
“O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.”
(Daniel 3:16-18, KJV)
Thrown into the blazing furnace, they were miraculously delivered by God.
Their example teaches us that unwavering faith in God is our greatest strength.
As we conclude this series, I encourage you to hold fast to your convictions.
When we base our beliefs on who God is and rely on His eternal attributes, we are not swayed by the threats of death, imprisonment, or any coercive force.
Remember, our faith equips us to confront even the worst challenges by focusing on the best-case scenario in Christ.
Practical Application:
Reflect on the courage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and ask yourself how you can stand firm in your faith amid adversity.
Evaluate your daily decisions—do you rely on God’s truth, or are you influenced by fleeting worldly pressures?
Commit to facing challenges with boldness, knowing that, as Philippians 1:20 reminds us, “with all boldness, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.”
Reflective Questions:
How can you strengthen your resolve to follow God, even when facing tough decisions?
What practical steps can you take to ensure that your actions reflect unwavering faith?
In what ways can you support others in developing a steadfast trust in the Lord?
Let Us Pray:
“Father God, thank You for these 21 days of prophetic prayer.
I receive transformation in my life-a repositioning for victory, excellence, productivity, supernatural favor, and unlimited goodness.
Thank You for ushering in a new season in my life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
Shalom, from

Let’s continue to encourage one another as we stand firm in our unwavering faith in God!
Christianity is a movement of people-a people of God who are mission-minded, always ready to meet needs and even preempt them.
This truth brings to mind Barnabas. Originally named Joseph (Joses), the Apostles renamed him Barnabas, which means “son of consolation” or “son of encouragement.”
The Bible tells us that, besides his servant-heart, he was a good man filled with the Holy Spirit, winning many souls to God (see Acts 4:36-37; 11:24-30).
He was there for others-morally, financially, and spiritually.
Barnabas is a model to emulate.
Not only did he support others, but he also backed the Apostles with his finances, selling his property and giving the proceeds to support the mission.
His life reminds us of the beauty of being a blessing to others.
Since transitioning from frontline missions to internet missions, I have earnestly prayed to keep the chain of support going.
I confess that I miss the fulfillment that comes from being a tangible blessing to others, and I’ve been praying for financial miracles to enable me to do even more for frontline ministers-especially those serving in rural communities.
It isn’t enough to just drop a dime in the offering basket.
We must be like Barnabas, the son of consolation-supporting ministers of the Gospel rather than judging them.
Let us pray:
Father God, thank You for every soul serving in frontline ministries around the world, as well as those ministering in local churches.
I pray for a multiplier effect upon their finances.
Protect, preserve, and provide for those who serve in hostile environments.
Touch the hearts and finances of everyone who reads this post, filling them with a strong desire to serve and bless others in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Shalom,

Let’s be the encouragement our ministers need and continue to bless others as we follow the example of Barnabas.
Diligence always pays off! Today, we reflect on the inspiring story of Abiathar, whose name means “Father of Excellence” or “Father of Abundance.”
Abiathar was a devoted priest who served King David faithfully (see 1 Chronicles 15:11; 1 Samuel 23:6, 30:7).
David’s reward is a powerful reminder that God rewards diligence more than anyone else (See Hebrews 11:6).
As we serve God in our various ministries, let us trust that He will richly reward our dedication.
Scripture tells us that God is faithful, keeping His promises to a thousand generations (See Deuteronomy 7:9).
We are called to hold fast to His Word and His essence, knowing that He equips and rewards us for service.
Let’s Pray Together:
Father God, thank You for the honor of Your call into Your service.
Thank You for anointing us for excellence.
We stand against all forms of mediocrity and frustrating circumstances, and we declare that we will operate at an optimum level.
In Your faithfulness, lead us to even greater heights of excellence in every field of ministry in the matchless name of Jesus.
Shalom,

“thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere!”
What an awesome promise!
This powerful truth brings to mind the inspiring story of Deborah the Prophetess.
During a time when the oppression of the Canaanites left God’s people demoralized and defeated, God raised Deborah to lead His people into victory.
Though the men had lost their will to fight, Deborah-both a spiritual and physical warrior-was anointed by God to deliver Israel from their oppressors.
Key Takeaways:
God’s Empowerment:
Like Gideon and Deborah, God chooses and empowers those whose hearts are devoted to Him, regardless of our self-confidence or worldly status.
Women of Valor:
If you’ve ever been told that your gender restricts your role, remember Deborah.
In Psalm 68:11, the original text tells us, “The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great army.”
Women, you have a powerful role in proclaiming the Good News and standing strong for your family.
Shared Responsibility:
It’s not just about one person’s role: if you’re a woman, do not lament over a husband not fulfilling every role.
Your family is yours too.
Pray, take action, and refuse to let satanic oppression have a foothold in your home.
Let Us Pray:
Father God, thank You for always leading us to triumph, in every battleground of the mind, the spirit realm, and in all systems of governance.
Thank You for the resurrection power that vitalizes our mortal bodies.
We lift up our husbands, sons, brothers, and every male member of our families.
We command the spirit of heaviness, lethargy, depression, and low self-esteem to leave them now.
I release to them now, the anointing of Your Spirit to ignite a good work within them, so that they will stand up strong for the job and for their families.
Thank You for all the women in ministry who, through Your guidance and grace, press forward to the mark of the high calling in Jesus Christ’s matchless name.
Empower us to be like Deborah-bold, victorious, and ever-triumphant in Your name.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we declare victory.
Shalom!

Let’s continue to stand in the victory that God has secured for us!
Subject: Transformation17- Repositioning for Greatness.
Today, let’s reflect on the story of Gideon-a man who went from being a nobody to becoming a mighty deliverer of God’s people.
In Judges 6:11-8:32, we read how Gideon, despite his fears and insecurities, was chosen by God to lead His people out of oppression.
For seven long years, the people of God were terrorized by enemy forces that always struck during harvest season-leaving them with nothing to show for their hard labor.
Yet, in their desperation, they cried out to God for help.
And as history tells us, God always raises deliverers from among His people.
God chose Gideon even when he was hiding from the marauding army.
Like many of us, Gideon was overwhelmed by fear. He lacked self-confidence and had low self-esteem.
But God saw his heart attitude and not his abilities.
Remember Proverbs 16:7:
“When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
Though Gideon had initially mustered an army of 32,000 soldiers, God instructed him to reduce the numbers-to only 300 men.
With this small force, Gideon achieved a miraculous victory against what seemed to be an invincible enemy.
In gratitude, he was later elected king, yet he pointed the people to God as the ultimate Deliverer and Ruler.
Lesson:
God is the only One who can lead you to triumph over all challenges.
Faith in God is the victory, as 1 John 5:4 reminds us.
Let’s Pray Together:
#PrayerPoints4Today:
1. Thank God:
Acknowledge your problems and ask Him to glorify Himself through every situation.
2. Declare Your Faith: Proclaim that you trust in His grace to reposition you for greatness.

Subject:Transformation 16 Blessings- our children & their families.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today, I want to share a personal testimony and focus our prayers on the blessings over our children and their families.
For a long time, I resisted engaging in full-time Christian ministry because I was afraid of poverty and doubted my ability to give my kids a good life.
Yet, God used dramatic circumstances to conscript me into His workforce.
When I finally yielded, He instructed me to trust Him with my children and reassured me with His Word that He would train them and grant them great peace (see Isaiah 54:13). And He has never failed.
Now, my children are grown with families of their own, and I continue to witness His faithfulness in the next generation.
This brings to mind the story of the prophet Samuel.
Samuel was the answer to Hannah’s fervent prayer for a male child (1 Samuel 1:9-28).
To fulfill her vows to God, Hannah dedicated Samuel to serve in God’s full-time ministry under Eli (1 Samuel 1:21-28).
As a young boy, Samuel became God’s chosen successor to Eli when Eli’s own righteousness faltered (1 Samuel 2:27-4:22).
Although Samuel, like all of us, faced challenges, today’s focus is on how God made him great among his peers.
#PrayerPoints4Today:
Gratitude:
Thank God for the sacred gift that your children are.
Confession & Renewal:
Identify their sinfulness and proclaim God’s faithfulness to forgive sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Self-Reflection:
Acknowledge any areas in your parenting that may leave your children vulnerable to negative spiritual influences and ask for divine wisdom to correct them.
Rededication:
Rededicate your children to God, asking for His divine protection and guidance over their lives.
Thanksgiving for Peace & Provision:
Thank God for training them and granting them peace in every area—physically, mentally, financially, economically, socially, and spiritually.
Spiritual Authority:
Command all evil spirits influencing unfavorable circumstances in their lives to leave immediately and submit to the authority of Jesus Christ.
Proclamation:
Prophesy over your children and grandchildren, declaring the outcomes you expect in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Subject: Transformation 15: To Experience the Outworking of Grace and Favor.
It is important that you subscribe to my YouTube channel @thespiritualwarrior2016, and to watch the videos.
It will help you to understand my belief systems and why I pray as boldly as I do.
Which reminds me of how Samson confidently prayed and how God responded swiftly to him.
The birth of Samson was a fulfilment of prophecy.
His parents overindulged him and he grew up a spoilt brat.
As I inferred in my book Demons Deactivated 1, if love does not include discipline, children will be exposed to demonic influences that will ruin their lives.
Samson is a prime example of such an upbringing.
He grew up having his ways, making wrong choices, and ended up a victim of betrayal and enslavement.
He lost his dignity and was grossly humiliated.
However, despite all his mountains of errors, when he repented and cried out to God, He was greatly helped.
God showed up strong for Samson!.
The Bible records in the book of Judges from chapters 14-16, how God delivered, strengthened and changed Samson’s story.
Lessons:
You must recognize God’s gifts and callings in your life and align them with God’s will and purposes.
For if you take the route of fulfilling self desires, you will run into hazardous terrain and crash.
But when you repent and return to God, you will experience the outworking of God’s grace and Power in your life.
For God alone us the ultimate Deliverer and Restorer, He answers prayers.
Be Careful what you ask for. There is power in your mouth.
#PrayerPoints4Today
1). Thank God for your parents and forgive your parents for all childhood hurts etc.
(*) I understand that some people were abused by their parents .

Today, I had the privilege of ministering by video to a congregation in Pakistan.
They were all sitting on the floor. There were lots of women and children in that congregation. A growing church. Their pastor is so blessed.
So much love, joy and peace.
Which brings me to the Apostle Philip. He was very evangelistic. (Acts 8:26-40)
He never hesitated when Jesus called him and he went right ahead and invited Nathaniel to join with the team (see John 1:43-51)
Philip was a great soul winner and was actively involved in all the major aspects of our Lord’s earthly ministry.
After the resurrection, Philip and the other apostles were working in the desert of Samaria, when he was called out and given a special assignment to Gaza.
He was divinely appointed to meet an Ethiopian Eunuch, a high official in Queen Candace court.
Philip explained scriptures to him and later baptized him.
The next we read about Philip in scripture is about his 4 daughters who were prophetesses in Caesarea!
From the desert of Samaria to Caesarea, a wealthy town! What a transformation,
Indeed, the Word is profitable!.
After ministering to the Ethiopian Eunuch the Queen’s treasurer, hardship vanished for Philip.
God rewarded his faithfulness in ministry with supernatural favors.
#MyPrayer4you:
I pray for you that your labors in the service of God will be richly rewarded in the here and hereafter, in Jesus’s name.
You will have supernatural favors, and unlimited goodness in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
