			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year is declared to be our year of dominion and please note that without opposition, there cannot be a need for dominion.</p>
<p>Dominion is a prove that there is an opposition. When God told Adam be fruitful, multiply, replenish and subdue, he knew the devil was there. The devil that would disinherit him, God knew he was there, nobody will tell him to rule if there is nothing to rule and that is why I want us to walk in consciousness, if it is said that this is your year of dominion is because God has sense opposition ahead and that is why I believe  God will establish your dominion. Heaven will establish your dominion. When the holy ghost said this year shall be our year of dominion it mean is going to be a year of victory inspite the oppositions and known to God that all is works from the beginning of the earth.</p>
<p>Opposition only answers to one thing and that is power and there are forces that I believe may be trying to contend with your place in destiny but  God is bringing them down. Like I said opposition only have regard for power and he has no regard for grammar. The bible says <strong><em>‘’ Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee’’ -</em></strong> <strong><em>Psalm66:3;</em></strong> and not through the greatness of your grammar. He has no respect for certificate and he doesn’t have no respect for history. Oh i have been a believer for 20 years, you are welcome and that is irrelevant, I have been long as a believer and I got born again since 1960 you are welcome or I have gone to Harvard, I cross over to Cambridge and I finished in oxford, they say you are welcome. Opposition has no respect to all those certificate, you may have degree like thermometer, it has nothing to do with what we are talking about ,Jesus said to peter; I will make you fishers of men that by destiny, but that divine plan did not come to until he received divine power of the spirit to match,before it became a reality  , But   Before then,there was a contention over his life and that is why Jesus said to him; Satan has desired to have you but I pray that your faith faileth and am not praying that the devil never come, let him come but your faith faileth not but if your faith is on  fire,Satan is doom. Am not talking about the place where they have prayed for you now but you must come to the place where you have certain convictions established in your spirit man by revelation because it is your revelation that can change your situations. Things that is happening to you and which is contrary to what is written in the word of God. It is your understanding that is rooted in the word of God to tell yourself these things that is happening is not the determining factors of my life.</p>
<p>You have to rule things from the inside because it is the inward man that rule the outside life. Things around you are negative but what is inside you is positive and that is from inside you, you control outside so it is what you have inside that determine your destiny irrespective of what you have outside you, it is what you have inside that determine what happen next. Jesus speaking to peter and said; I pray for that your faith will not fail. And that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Who you are listening to will determine your faith. Please note that your tomorrow is bright.</p>
<p>On the day of Pentecost when power came, that was the day the vision ‘’you shall be fisher of men came to reality’’ without power, no matter the clarity of your vision and your dream and your plans it will never see the light of the day. You will have dream but it will still remain in the womb because the power it takes to transfer it from the invisible to the visible is not there. You must be willing to accept personal responsibility for your desire destiny. You must move from the realm of who will pray for you to the realm of doing it myself and that am going to pray into relevance. In this month of November, let’s look forward for the empowerment of the spirit to establish our dominion and there will be no need for dominion if there are no oppositions, since opposition answer to power then it means there is no dominion without power. Dominion thrives on power. Power is the only credentials that establish dominion. You can’t have dominion without power so this month, let’s look forward for supernatural empowerment to establish dominion. Like I said, it takes power to command dominion, without power dominion cannot be in view. I want us to know that you have to be empowered to operate in dominion and this great journey of dominion; one of the spiritual things to operate in dominion is through empowerment. To be in dominion is to be in charge and I believe that we are coming to that level in Jesus name Amen.</p>
<p><strong><em>Psalm 110:1-3; ‘’The lord said unto my lord, sit thou at the right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the days of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth’’ KJV</em></strong></p>
<p>The days of his power will precede the days of his coming. So if you don’t have enemies what are you going to rule? If you have enemies, they are your potential subject so for you to now be running from your enemies are evidence you lack understanding of your place. If enemies are not there, what will you rule? Nothing. Daniel rules in the midst of den of lion so please note that you are lion in the midst of your enemies. You belong to the tribe of the lion of Judah . So before the day Jesus must come back here, power must be in demonstration. Please take your place ,because it is your heritage to walk in power or else the devil will make a mess of your destiny.</p>
<p> Rule thou in the midst of crap spirit people. The bible says you should rule, your enemies shouldn’t die you must rule. That is you will have those things you desire inspite of witches and wizard that are crafted in the heart. When you say I am travelling and wish you never came back but you came back and bought gift to all of them, you are ruling in the midst of your enemies and that is where your destiny is.</p>
<p><strong><em>Act13:8, Act13:4-11; </em></strong>please note that you can be sent of God and still be resisted.</p>
<p><strong><em>1cor2:</em></strong>15<strong><em>;’’ he that is spiritual judges all things’’</em></strong> The level of power you carry determine the level of dominion you command. <strong><em>Psalm66:7,</em></strong> you must drink into power. Power is wrapped up in one personality called the <strong><em>Holy Spirit</em></strong>. There is an invitation the Holy Spirit cannot resist and that is in <strong><em>Isaiah51:1</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Luke 24:49, Act1:8, isa55:1, Jh7:37-39.</em></strong></p>
<p>Understand that the key to receiving this power dimension is desperation. Genuine thirst is what determines his response to your desire. That you speak in tongues only shows you are man of the spirit but does not indicate level of power you operate in. Speaking in tongues make you a candidate of the spirit. You are to desire that power before it produces evidences.</p>
<p>You cannot walk in higher dominion until you are more empowering than where you are now. Because power is in levels; you carry a measure now and that measure presently determine the power of your dominion. You need to walk in higher dimension of power. The moment power come that is the time your dominion is to be established. Every true rise will always generate envy. You need to ask God to empower you as a person and if you don’t ask for it God will never give you. Powers are in levels and dominions are in levels. The realm where they hear you, it takes power to get there.</p>
<p>Power is robbed in dominion and the Holy Ghost is the fountain of power</p>
<p>Isaiah41:17-20, Isaiah44:3</p>
<p>Luke3:21-22, luke4:1, luke4:14, luke4:18, 28-30 luke9:28-35</p>
<p>Anointing is a journey. Jesus returns in the power of the spirit unto Galilee. Please understand       There is power of the spirit</p>
<p>There is wisdom of the spirit</p>
<p>There is understanding of the spirit</p>
<p>There is might of the spirit</p>
<p>There is counsel of the spirit</p>
<p>There is insight of the spirit</p>
<p>Don’t be satisfied in the level of speaking in tongues and you need to change level to the higher level and it takes power to get there. Take your time and ask God for power in the night, day. You need desperation for spiritual encounter. It is not your cry but your thirst that generate power. Only those who desire power will deserve it</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>B</strong>rethren, I would like to believe that you have increased your wisdom level ten-fold this month via the various teachings on Wisdom.</p>
<p>This teaching will give you insight into gaining victory over destiny predators.</p>
<p>A man’s journey in life takes him through different stages and phases.  At each phase, at each new step there is always a predator waiting to ensure that success is not achieved.</p>
<p>For example, Pharaoh posed a deterrent to the liberty of the Israelites until God rose up and delivered them from their bondage.</p>
<p>The Blood of Christ is one of the most important weapons in the armoury of a Christian.  The blood of Christ as a weapon,  should never be taken for granted. </p>
<p>The blood of Christ is what determines life or death, being stagnant or being a success in life.</p>
<p>The blood of Christ is, In the kingdom of God every rising of a child of God is rooted in the blood of Christ.  In the same vein, all of the ability to overcome predators of destiny is rooted in the blood. </p>
<p><strong>What does the blood stand for?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Redemptiom -  </strong>Eph 1:7; Isaiah 63:4</p>
<p><strong>Peace</strong>   -  Colossians 1:20</p>
<p><strong>Atonement</strong> &#8211; Leviticus 17:11</p>
<p><strong>Mercy -  </strong>Romans 5:9<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Divine Protection </strong>-  Exodus 12:12-14</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How do we apply the blood?</strong></p>
<p>The blood is applied by sprinkling. </p>
<p>The blood is also an effective healer and can be applied through the taking of the Holy Communion.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Brethren,  begin to cause havoc in the camp of the enemy by using the weapon of the blood.  Heaven is on your side.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">God Bless you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marriage can be likened to a house, and every house is built by men, using certain building materials. Wisdom is a good quality material for building your marriage and home.</p>
<p>Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:</p>
<p>Proverbs 24:3</p>
<p>What is wisdom? Wisdom is knowing which way to go. It is knowing how to handle situations and make them produce your  desired results. Wisdom is knowing how to make it in life. When you know how to make things work in your family, you&#8217;re walking in wisdom.</p>
<p>Your marriage can be steady and strong, it can be an example for others to follow. There fore the foundation of your family must be laid in wisdom.</p>
<p>When Solomon wanted to establish the kingdom God gave him. So, when God appeared unto him and told him to ask for whatever he wanted, he asked for wisdom to rule God&#8217;s people, and God gave it to him (I Kgs. 3:9,12).</p>
<p>You cannot blame God or anyone else for what your home looks like. If it is not the haven you thought it would be, then you have a responsibility to search for a solution. Why becos  God&#8217;s Word clearly says:</p>
<p>For every house is builded by some man&#8230;</p>
<p>#Hebrews 3:4</p>
<p>Wisdom is also the correct application of knowledge. So, before you can walk in wisdom, you must locate the knowledge of the Word and apply it.</p>
<p>God has made provisions for marriage to produce good for you and I, but we have a responsibility to develop that plan. It is like the negative film of a picture. The photographer must spend time in the darkroom developing the negative and come out with a beautiful picture. A negative must be developed before it becomes enviable.</p>
<p>Stop shifting blame. Accept that you are the builder of your marriage. God has provided the wisdom to build with. Be diligent and get down to work! There is no prize for the slothful (Eccl. 10:18).</p>
<p>Building a house is not as simple as ABC. It takes planning!</p>
<p>For which one of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.</p>
<p>#Luke 14:28-30 </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Intending couples must sit down during courtship and contact revelations for outstanding</p>
<p>Houses are of different sizes and shapes. The taller, more beautiful houses require more preparation, a deeper foundation, and they cost more. You must first desire a tower, before you can plan to build one. Don&#8217;t enter marriage without an expectation. If you expect the best, it will be yours (Prov. 23:18).</p>
<p> I discovered that the root cause of  some  people problems is their wrong idea about marriage. Your expectation would not be cut off.</p>
<p>God has promised to grant your expectations, whether good or bad. So, let your expectations be based on God&#8217;s Word, for it is higher than any evil experience or information you may have had or heard about marriage (Prov. 10:24).</p>
<p>EXPECT BETTER LIFE NOT BITTER EXPERIENCE OF PEOPLE</p>
<p>Ecc4:9-If the word says two it&#8217;s better than one,expect a Better life in marriage and get ready to experience it</p>
<p>If you are already married, there is still a chance to change all negative expectations. As a couple, discuss your positive expectations and I guarantee that things will work out more smoothly in your home.</p>
<p>Unmarried ladies and young men, what do you expect in marriage? Your expectations shall not be cut off! Before you got married, you should made discoveries from God&#8217;s Word that will paint the picture of a great future.</p>
<p>Genesis 13:13-15-GOD CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU HAVE NOT SEEN.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Become A Doer Of The Word</p>
<p>Every house is as strong as it&#8217;s foundation. The blueprint is our expectation. The foundation is then laid according to the plan in the blueprint. If your expectation is to enjoy the honour in marriage, it follows that you will have to begin to do what makes for honour. The doing of the Word of God is the laying of a foundation for a fulfilled family life.</p>
<p>Knowledge is in hearing; but it is mere information until it is put to practice. Simply knowing the Word of God is not enough, applying it is what makes it produces for you (James 1:22).</p>
<p>Just like a builder puts block upon block, you put line upon line, precept upon precept of God&#8217;s Word into building your home.</p>
<p>When you have contacted God&#8217;s Word for every part of your family, and begin to do it,</p>
<p>Matthew7:24-26.-You are building a crisis proof marriage, BECOS you are Building on the  on the rock,that is MARRIAGE ON THE ROCK</p>
<p>there will be times when you will come face to face with challenges. At such times, sit down first and allow the Holy Spirit to quicken a scripture in your heart. The more of God&#8217;s Word that is stored up in your heart, the more restful you will be. Then there will be no trouble you cannot triumph over, nor trial that will not become a testimony. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The process of building requires the counting of cost (Lk. 14:28). There is a cost for peace, a cost for love, a cost for submission, a cost for fulfilment!</p>
<p>Before you quarrel with your spouse over any issue, count the cost of your actions and reactions. Many times when you are angry, you say things you later come to regret. But if you learn to count the cost of the words you speak, peace will rest in your home (Prov. 15:1-2).</p>
<p>Operating In Wisdom (For Men)</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing of beauty that didn&#8217;t take some work to put in place. Just like every beautiful garden was tended before it became beautiful, and must continue to be tended if it must remain beautiful; in like manner, marriage must be tended before it can work, and must continue to be tended to continue working.</p>
<p>As a husband, the Bible instructs you to dwell with your wife according to knowledge. I like the way the Amplified version puts it:</p>
<p>In the same way you married men should live considerately with (your wives), with an intelligent recognition (of the marriage relation), honoring the woman as (physically) the weaker, but (realizing that you) are joint heirs of the grace (God&#8217;s unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. (Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.)</p>
<p>1 Peter 3:7 (Amp. Bible) </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When a man understands the nature of his wife and works according to that understanding, problems are less likely to arise in their home. He puts less pressure on her because he realises that she is not a robot. She is a wife, mother and homemaker all at once, and these all place a demand on her. He must be considerate of her feelings and needs,and be available to minister to her.</p>
<p>The second clause, &#8220;giving honour unto the wife&#8230;&#8221; implies that wives are not to be treated as slaves or inferior human beings, but are to be held in respect. Their views should be sought and they should be allowed to make their contributions in the home.</p>
<p>When a man beats his wife he exhibits folly (Prov. 26:4). No matter how provoked, a man must never stoop so low.</p>
<p>For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.</p>
<p>Ephesians 5:29</p>
<p>Beating your wife is a sin against God. Being joined in holy wedlock, God sees the couple as one that&#8217;s why He called the man and his wife &#8220;Adam&#8221; (Gen. 5:2). It was Adam who gave his wife a separate name, Eve.</p>
<p>Statistics have shown that more than 85 per cent of marriages in the West involved wife battering. Husband, don&#8217;t turn your wife&#8217;s body to a punching bag! Remember that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>Lack of communication and understanding among others are.some of the reasons some men abuse and beat their wives. The man must understand that the woman was given to him by God to take care of, not to beat.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, the role of the husband is drawn from that of Christ towards the Church, not from any human example. Thus, as we have mentioned earlier, the man must discover the selfless way Christ loved the Church and love his wife the same way, by God&#8217;s grace.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up on your wife. Give her honour. Don&#8217;t render evil for evil, don&#8217;t seek to repay every.wrong with a wrong, for two wrongs don&#8217;t make a right. Jesus endured all contradictions of sinners. We too can overlook certain things just as He did.</p>
<p>Operating In Wisdom (For Women)</p>
<p>Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.</p>
<p>Proverbs 14:1</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>God, in His infinite wisdom, has planned one man for one woman. Every woman in God&#8217;s design has her own home. What becomes of that home, however, depends on the woman. This appears to be an awesome responsibility, but by the grace of God and hard work, it is accomplishable.</p>
<p>Abigail was a woman of wisdom, a woman with a good understanding.</p>
<p>Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and she was a woman of good understanding&#8230;but the man was churlish and evil in his doings&#8230;</p>
<p>ABIGAIL .</p>
<p>1 Samuel 25:3 -look at the example of Abigail .</p>
<p>It was  like  Abigail had made a mistake. The man she married was not what she expected. He was not a good man and they were definitely unequally yoked. Yet to have lived with him for all the years she did and got along without fighting or becoming like him in character, proved she was a woman of a wise heart. A time came when her churlish (bad mannered) husband provoked David. She mediated and saved her entire household and restrained David from avenging himself. Even if your spouse it&#8217;s not saved there is a wisdom in God to live peaceably your spouse.</p>
<p>Wisdom is undoubtedly the principal thing.</p>
<p>Learn To Adapt</p>
<p>I believe one wise step Abigail took was to adapt to the situation. Become adjusted to your husband have lived with him for all the years she did and got along without fighting or becoming like him in character, proved she was a woman of a wise heart. A time came when her churlish (bad mannered) husband provoked David. She mediated and saved her entire household and restrained David from avenging himself.</p>
<p>Wisdom is undoubtedly the principal thing.</p>
<p>Become adjusted to her husband&#8217;s plans, way of life, etc. This does not mean when he is going wrong you leave him or follow his ways. It simply means to be flexible to his decisions.</p>
<p>&#8230;Married women&#8230;adapt yourselves to them&#8230;</p>
<p>1 Peter 3:1 (Amp. Bible)</p>
<p>When he takes decisions that are different from your plans, see how you can work them out and fit in. Remember that as a believer, all things will work out for good, but you must heed the Lord&#8217;s instructions.</p>
<p>If he has certain weaknesses that you are strong in, help him;appreciate his good points, point out his mistakes in a kind and gentle way. Embrace wisdom, it will bring you to honour, it will promote you from mediocrity to greatness. It will make your home precious before God and men. Inside wisdom is direction, because wisdom is knowing what to do next and having a sense of direction. That sense of direction leads you to a place of distinction, a place of glorification.</p>
<p>When you operate in wisdom, your home begins to shine as gold. People cannot help but be attracted to you, just as the glitter of gold attracts people.</p>
<p>&#8230;A man&#8217;s wisdom maketh his face to shine&#8230;</p>
<p>Ecclesiastes 8:1</p>
<p>Knowing how to apply the knowledge of the Word of God is wisdom. It will help you to know how to speak positive and edifying words to your spouse, relate with your in-laws in genuine love, etc. Wisdom is therefore the principal thing for success in marriage. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Activating the Spirit of Wisdom</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to another teaching in the Wisdom series.  Tnis week I would like to share with you the keys to activating your God-given wisdom.</p>
<p>1st Corinthians 2 vs 6.  Wisdom is hidden that is why it has to be activated, it has to be stirred up.  It is in activating your God given wisdom that the beauty of your life begins to unfold.  When you become wise you are able to see into the deep, you are able to discern and grasp the things which God has prepared for those who love him.  As you begin to connect to your inner wisdom your glory will begin to spring forth in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.</p>
<p>Wisdom is superior to intelligence.  Because it is what is revealed to you that makes you to shine.  It is wisdom that makes a man see treasure where another sees trash!.  Read Matt 11:19.  Success will always be the end result of any wise act.</p>
<p><strong>How is Wisdom Activated ?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Praying in the Holy Ghost</strong> – this releases spiritual energy.</li>
<li><strong>Soul Winning</strong> – This ignites the spirit of wisdom.  The more you propagate the gospel wisdom is increased in your life.</li>
</ul>
<p>The seed is the Word of God.  It is the communication of the Word of Truth that increases might in your inner man to keep searching the deep things of God. </p>
<p>Proverbs 11:25.  When you reach out to your fellow man what you sow into their lives comes back to your life as increase. Read Ephesians6:15– when you preach the Word you are gaining an armour of protection for you feet.  No one can intimidate you when you have on you the armour of God.  When a child of God shows no fear in the face of adversity, challenging times – be assured that he possess a wisdom that others cannot understand.</p>
<p>Make a decision to sell yourself out for God – divine wisdom will become as second nature to you.</p>
<p>Wisdom is all around us – be observant, be vigilant.  Ask God for wisdom, he will give it to you – James 1:5.</p>
<p>Wisdom shall break the yoke of shame and humiliation in our life this month In the Most Glorious Name of Jesus Christ. Amen</p>
<p>God Bless you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this teaching I would like to reiterate the fact that Wisdom does not jump on you.  You have to make a demand for it!</p>
<p>Wisdom makes you ten times wiser than your fellow men.  Wisdom expresses in works not in words!</p>
<p>Wisdom is not an achievement it is an endowment!  Read Mark 6:2. Jesus still needed wisdom to operate in the realm of mighty works.</p>
<p>A wise man once said “well done, is better than well said”.  Wisdom can be defined as applicable knowledge.  Do not mistake intelligence for wisdom. Take for example, we see many great teachers and other professionals who are the best at what they do but whose lives are a total mess.  Wisdom can be described as “walking in God’s revealed ways”.</p>
<p>A wise person is happier and healthier and that is why the Bible describes wisdom as being priced “far above rubies”.  Money can finish or diminish but wisdom will subsist.  You also need wisdom to get you to your next level.</p>
<p>Read the book of Proverbs – this Book gives you a pictural view of wisdom emphasis on Proverbs3:13-18.</p>
<p>The wisdom of Daniel made kings bow to him.  Wisdom takes you from the floor to the throne.  Read Dan 5:11-end.  Wisdom gave Daniel relevance through three different regimes inBabylon. </p>
<p>Keep this in mind – you may not be very much liked by your superiors and peers but if you have wisdom, they will respect and revere you for it.  It is the wisdom you possess that takes you to great heights. </p>
<p><strong>What is the recipe for Promotion ?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Wisdom.  </strong>Read 1 Sam 18:5.  It was Wisdom that took David from a lowly person to authority over men of war.  He was not liked by Saul, but because of the Wisdom he possessed he was sought after.</p>
<p>People may not like your faith, but they cannot deny the impact you make via the wisdom you possess!</p>
<p><strong>Diligence.  </strong>Prov 22:29; Prov 12:24.  When you work smart you do not have to work too hard!  Combine brains and hands for  excellent results</p>
<p><strong>Be Available. </strong> David was available to Saul and behaved wisely.</p>
<p><strong>Be an Excited Worker.  </strong>Joseph’s excitement got him out of prison.  Always have a smile on your face no matter what the challenge is!</p>
<p><strong>Have Initiative .  </strong>Gen 41:48.</p>
<p><strong>Be faithful and Loyal. 1 Sam 26:9</strong></p>
<p><strong>Get Wisdom and Allow her take you to your greater heights this month.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bless You!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As explained in the last teaching – the definition of wisdom can be explained as <strong>The correct application of knowledge.</strong></p>
<p>There are various channels to gaining wisdom.  Let us explore the following channels :</p>
<p><strong>Prayer Channel &#8211; </strong> through prayer (communication with God) As you speak to God he returns with answers.</p>
<p><strong>Information Channel &#8211; </strong> Read Proverbs 1:5.  All the information you require can be found in the Bible, inspirational books, Christian materials etc.  To have good success the Word of God play an integral part in your life.</p>
<p><strong>Observation Channel &#8211; </strong> Proverbs 6 vs 6 – Observe your environment and learn from it.  Observe the activities of men who have excelled at what you are proposing to do.  By doing this you are bound to suceed even more! Habbabkuk 2:1 shows you stand patiently and observe so as to know what to do when the time comes.</p>
<p><strong>Attention Channel – </strong>Psalm 19:1-3.  Be attentive to what God is saying and what circumstances are indicating or implying.  By using all your senses, sight, hearing, smell etc  you can by wisdom, find a way out of challenging situations.  Pay attention to your marriage, career, health – that is wisdom.</p>
<p><strong>Enquiry Channel – Luke 2:46.  </strong>Even Jesus son, of the Living God, the embodiment of wisdom sat at the feet of the Elders to learn from them.  Never let pride get in the way of you finding out information.  Being wise is not about how old you are.  You need update information – (something new) to take you to your next level.</p>
<p><strong>Association  Channel – </strong>Prov 13:20</p>
<p>The company you keep affects you mentality.  Walk with those who can build you up.  What you do not get by revelation you get by association!</p>
<p><strong>Impartation Channel </strong>Ezekiel 2:2 – Wisdom can also be received through impartation, laying on of hands and from the Spoken Word from the Altar &#8211; who you follow determines what follows you.</p>
<p>May the Grace of God take you into untold Wisdom this month. In Jesus Name – Amen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>2corinthian2:14;</strong> “thanks be unto God who causes us always to triumph in Christ making available the fragrance of our knowledge in Christ.</p>
<p>Triumphing in everyplace. Triumphing in your finance, triumphing in marriage, triumphing on your children, triumphing in your sleep, triumphing when you go out and when you comes in, triumphing when you walk and immigration, triumphing always everyplace. No place for defeat and i want you to keep that fragrance of knowledge in your spirit man. No matter what is happen to you is subject to change. Triumphing always in Christ. There are troubles on the earth but your triumph is in Christ. In your village triumph, in buses triumph, in your office triumph, inside your house triumph, on face book triumph, on face time triumph.</p>
<p>Triumph always means you are confronted always. If there is no challenge, what are you triumphing over? Nothing. So if challenge comes, it has only come for you to triumph. The first three words of triumph are T-R-I. I don’t know how you came to this meeting tonight but you are leaving here with a triumphant mentality. Pastor i fasted yesterday and I was breaking my fast but they were feeding me in my dream. Triumphing everyplace even in your dream. The more the challenge, the more the triumph. Challenges are the food of champions. If you don’t have a challenge, you don’t have a testimony. Pastor, the fight on my life is too much, is because of the mantle you carry. Nobody fought Reuben and Joseph, so the weight of the dream you carry determines the weight of the attack on you. If they are attacking you is because they see something to attack. Arm robbers does not go to a house where there is nothing, you carry something and that is why the attack. They can see your star when you can’t even see it. They started fighting Christ within 24hours of his arrival on the earth fighting started over his head, so if you are in Christ then why are you crying that they are pursue you? If they refuse you again when you have apply, then apply again. Triumph in everyplace. Home office wrote you letter, take it to heaven’s office. They said they will deport me; which one do they deport in your front? That is what men said but that is not what God said. Please note; triumphing in Christ in (him), victorious in him, your victory is in Jesus. Life is a battle field but victory is guaranteed to the saints. When a baby arrives here on earth, the bible says that a man is born of few days<strong>. Job14:14</strong>; every child that was born on earth entered crying. Note that your arriving on earth is trouble.com. I want to say to you, there is nothing of value that will come to you without a fight. Why are they fighting me pastor? Is because of the destiny God has for you and they are fighting my children because they have seen their star. So am here to cook you with triumphant victorious mentality. You will hear something as you progress in God that if you are not strong inside here, you will be throw into towel in your pursuit of coming to know God.</p>
<p>How come Jesus fasted forty days and the only people that come and visit him is the devil? If you are son of God turn this stone to bread; is that the first thing you should see when you fast? so that you fasted for two days and you started crying saying am going to eat  my food now because you saw snake or cow in your dream that make you to say am not fasting again; but as a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Anything God can’t get into your mind cannot become part of your life. Anything too big for your mind is too big for your hand. That is why am here to give you victorious mentality, you need that thing because the world we are in here is for the people that are ready to take the pool by the horn for their victory but one thing that I know he said to him that overcomes and I declare to you tonight according to the word of thy lord that you will overcome. Please note; he did say you will under come but you will overcome. Home office trouble overcome, marriage crisis overcome, children trouble overcome, university fees overcome and that is how you will overcomes till rapture carry you home. But you want to under, under come but you can only overcome. How do you pray? If I can just marry, that is the only prayer I have and after God gave you your spouse then you say if I can just have a child and you pray unto God for a child but had already said if only you could be married earlier. So it is a continuous overcoming. Till you get to heaven, you will have something to overcome. Please note that life is a battle field but victory is guaranteed to the believers. Triumph in Christ; as long as you keep your connection in Christ and your connection is not broken, continuous victory, ever winning victory and ever conquering victory is your heritage in Christ Jesus. Please note; the triumph of the wicked in your life is for a short time. In <strong><em>job 20:5; saying “that the triumphing of the wicked is short and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment</em></strong><em>”</em>. Look no matter what the devil is doing now, it has a time limit. The devil speaking to Jesus and saying “ have you come to destroy us before the time” every affliction has a time and check the one you are going through, the expiry date has come. Check it. No matter the level of wickedness against you please it has a timing and that is why even when the children of Israel misbehave to God, God will send them to other nations, only for two years and after two years God will said to the nation to leave them now and God will now punish the nation for punishing them because they have been misbehaving and if they misbehave again, God will send them to another country, if they kick them, god will said three years even the longest affliction 430 years, it has a time. You know why it was prolonged because the Moses that needs to free them was not ready. You must accept to be your own Moses and if there is no Moses to fight for you, you rise to be a Moses for yourself. Prince is born but kings are developed. You must accept responsibility and that is why I tell people that running from pillar to post will not make you anybody in God. Nobody becomes anything for conquering small thing. It is the weight of the battle that determines the weight of the advancement. So why trouble everywhere is is because there is victory everywhere for you and that is why I said you will progress, you will conquer. Ever winning battle. Triumphing always in Christ in everyplace whether in South Africa, Ivory Coast, and Colombia in everyplace. In business, in children rearing, in your career, in everyplace, in your office. You just say lord I believe what you have worked. Somebody is here that they will unseat some things for you and anyone that press and won’t allow you to go forward, god will clear them off the way in Jesus name. So please note that victory is your birthright as a saint. Battle is not strange to the Christian, victory is our heritage. Every battle is an opportunity to demonstrate your victory in Christ. Pastor i don’t have money, my sister and my brother; it is for a short time. Somebody yet said money will finish but people does not finish, you are not poor but is just an issue of mentality, and what you are going through is a process of where you are going and that is why i believe that problems are not design to destroy you but they are design to develop you and please not any problem that cannot defeat you will develop you. You become wiser, every trouble you go through, if you are not born to the trouble of licence, you got your driving licence and you have problem with it and you got it back, no Cambridge can teach you what you pass through within that season. Obstacles are place on your way to prove the reality of God in your life. There is no champion without story of challenges to tell, champions are products of challenges. It is dulging obstacles that make snake and water to be crooked. Life is a battle ground but your victory is sure in God. Heaven is a city of over comers and not for those that are victim. Infact, you can’t make heaven if you are not victorious even home office you must overcome it, they will change policy for you to him that overcometh. Heaven is for over comers not for looser; it is a place for over comers and that is why every believer will have the opportunity to fight and those who do know the strategy of the game will tell the victory story. Please note when you gave your life to Christ why didn’t God kill you;</p>
<ol>
<li>To be able to give you ranking because you don’t get ranking by getting born again and go to heaven and your ranking is out of your fight. You don’t rise to become a captain without a fight. A general is born out of war and that is why I believe that God is moving you forward. Note<strong> job 20:5</strong> and have it in your mind because it will affect the way you responds to things and your feartometer will die. Things others fear, you will dear it. Micah said I saw thy lord on his throne with all the angels with him, if you will see heaven and see God on his throne, then one king on his throne on the earth can’t be a problem for you because the things has made you to fear and that is why Moses could dear pharaoh. He saw the invisible; there are things God will show you that will make you to loose complete fear from what others fear. You don’t fear it because what your eye have seen, mortal men have not seen it. If God will show you the heaven and all the angels and God with them. If you will see them and God will grant you access, earthly kings will mean nothing to you. That they say I will kill you, you say go ahead you make my work more faster, you become invisible, you become deary and death is a bonus to you. There are things you see in God that what others cry about you smile over it and they will even say you don’t have feeling because of the things you have seen, you have seen the invisible. For a man to choose the suffering of children of Israel and said i choose suffering. Seeing the invisible, i want you to see your victory in Jesus and 10 billion devils can’t determine your death, when it is time you tell God it is time for you to go. No witchcraft can boost of death over you and that is for your time to go and three people gave testimony to say we kill him that will be an abuse to redemption. You may have challenge but witch don’t determine what happen to you and you must see the end of it. Every problem has expiry date, have you come to destroy us before the time. Cancer has timing if you know what it takes to kill it. High blood pressure and all this devils have their expiry date if you know how to destroy them, they won’t send you to an early grave, it is not possible, no its not design for you to kill me, I must see the end of you. You started one day and you must finish one day. Whatever that has a beginning must has an end. If you don’t time your victory nobody will time it for you.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hear me, your state is not a reason for pity; don’t let people pity you because pity will not take you out of the pit. Too much sorry brings sorrow because it will not solve your problem but only in Christ. I want your mentality to be speaking about your tomorrow. In that death you are in, you say I will not die in it and keep saying it because you have to be saying it. I will not die barren, it’s not possible. I will not die in this problems. Every rich man today was saying it yesterday. Your mouth is a very major tool. I will not be like this forever; no, things will change. Husband tells your wife money is coming. Tell yourself I will not die like this, things will change for me, I am a tither, I am a giver, prosperity is my heritage. You keep saying it and they may even tell you that are you mad; because what you are saying is contrary to your present state. Elijah said by this time tomorrow and everybody was still begging to eat. There is nothing in your rising that shows that something will change tomorrow. Let me say this to you that the breaking to the morning is the darkest hour of the morning. The darkest hour of your life is because light is about to break forth. The most painful part of a boil is when it is about to break. Please I want you to be encouraged and what we are doing here, eternity will count it. Thank God for where you work, heaven will not refer to it but it is what you do in the kingdom that heaven will refer to. He say and they died and their works were following them not the one you did for the government, it is what you do in the kingdom. Please note, victory is your portion. Challenges are normal. Don’t be discourage but you are either dis- courage or en-courage. You encourage yourself, you don’t know how to dance, put ken Franklyn. Dance anyhow and don’t let your head go down but i say today, you are going up. Tell three people; “Am going to win” you will hear my testimony in Jesus name.</p>
<p><strong>Seven order of overcoming;</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Revelation 2:7, verse 11, verse 17, verse 26, revelation 3:5, 3:12, 3:21</em></strong> Seven powerful witness to the reality of our battle here on the earth, so you must prepared to overcome. In seven places; <strong><em>“to him that overcomes”</em></strong> pointing to your heritage of victory. You will overcome in Jesus name. Please note that this earth is your ground of victory and earth is the victory ground for the saints. Ever winning, ever conquering, this earth is your victory ground. Tell two people.</p>
<p>There are three area of conflict where you need to experience supernatural victory;</p>
<ol>
<li>Over your spirit</li>
<li>Over your mind</li>
<li>Over your body</li>
</ol>
<p>If any challenge comes your way, you say i know the challenge of this thing is for a short time. They said you have low sperm count, you said the triumph of this low sperm count is for a short time. How many count did marry has to birth Jesus? No count, so they even say you have fifty thousand, you tried. You need this mentality to win and if you are not careful, medical report becomes your stronghold, you even believe your GP more than your God P, if you are not careful, your GP becomes your Arthur of your faith, if you are not careful, they will give you the sickness you don’t have if you are not careful. What the GP read in school is what they will give to you and if what is fighting you has no medical solution, there is more to it than ibrofen can handle. The bible says be fruitful and not be ovaryful nor be wombful. God said be fruitful. What the GP told you is facts but that is not the truth. The truth that will make you free. What they told you is fact according to medical scientist, what they told you are facts according to immigration law but that is not the truth.</p>
<p><strong><em>Luke 13:10-16;</em></strong> talking about the woman Jesus saw that was bend over.</p>
<p>Behold there was a woman there where Jesus was preaching that has the spirit of infirmity. The spirit of infirmity means a spirit that causes sickness; it’s a demon of sicknesses. It is a satanic bondage that generates sicknesses. This woman that was bend over need supernatural victory because it’s beyond what doctors can handle. Cestoscope can’t locate spirit, she was bend over and her destiny must never rise. When others were rising she was bending over, keeping her down. Now that kind of victory will require a supernatural help for that woman to be free. The woman need supernatural victory to come out of the sickness she was subjected into for eighteen years and that is why she could not straighten up but she was bend over but Jesus said to her <strong><em>“ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham be loose on this Sabbath day” </em></strong>now when Jesus send to called her to him, he said woman thou hast been loosed on this Sabbath day. That is why drug can give relief but only God can give release. Everything working inside your body outside God design I challenge those spirit to come out of your physical body in the name of Jesus Christ. Every physical molestation and malfunctioning in your body today I challenge those spirit and command them go in the name of Jesus. I challenge every spirit of infirmity on two grounds; on messianic covenant and Abrahamic covenant. Jesus was speaking about messianic covenant and he has not even died saying <strong><em>“himself took our infirmity and bared our sicknesses”</em></strong> on his body and by his stripes we were healed. That is messianic covenant and not Abrahamic. This woman was free on one ground because she was a seed of Abraham, on Abrahamic covenant and that is why fibroids has no right to be there and infirmity has no right to be there. That dog chasing you up in your dream has no right to be doing that, is not suppose to be so, is a misnormal. I challenge every spirit of infirmity working in your body to go right now in Jesus name.</p>
<p>Say after me as we pray, every spirit of infirmity, working sickness in my body that want to right off my health, that want to make me old before my time, every spirits working weakness, working infirmities, causing malfunctioning inside my body, today today, today go in thy name of Jesus Christ. Every sickness must go, eye problem must go, and today I secure my victory over you Satan. Sickness you have no right to be here, I challenge you every area of sickness in my body die in Jesus name. I was not born barren and I must not die barren. I must be fruitful. I secure help for my health in Jesus name.</p>
<p>The first manifestation of God on this earth was the Holy Spirit, and the spirit move, so today manifestation of the spirit must take place in your body<strong><em>. In romance 8:11; “if the spirit that raise up Christ dwelleth in you, he will quicken your mortal body by his spirit that dwelleth in you”. </em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>The bible says <strong><em>in Genesis 1:28; be fruitful, multiply, replenish and have dominion</em></strong>. When God make man, he said be fruitful; the same force it was under the same auction God says let there be light, let me say this that you are created to be fruitful, inside you existence of fruitfulness. Inside you is the force of fruitfulness.</p>

<p><strong><strong>In the Biblical context Light can be defined as operating by the Revealed Word</strong>. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The prophetic direction for this month of August is light,lt takes light to rule over darkness,Genesis1:16,it&#8217;s alway in control over the force of darkness John1:5.</strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>It was walking in the light of the word of God that enhance our dominion.</p>
<p>Light is living by the Word, walking in the truth of the Scriptures. It is also walking in the understanding of the revealed word</p>
<p><strong>Psalm 119:<sup>130</sup></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>It is the entrance of the word that gives light.</p>
<p><strong>John 1:<sup>1-3</sup></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>1</sup></strong><strong>In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>2</sup></strong><strong>The same was in the beginning with God.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>3</sup></strong><strong>All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Walking in the Word of the Lord is walking in the light of God. A consistent covenant walk with God.</p>
<p>Financial giants will rise in this church by virtue of encounters  with the  light of God’s Word on prosperity. Excited tithers, delighted kingdom investors.</p>
<p>Divine Health, there are those that won’t know what headache feels like.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS THE WORTH OF LIGHT?</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Drawing from Scriptures, several things stand out as the worth of this Light.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>1. </strong><strong>It Provides Direction</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The Word of God offers direction.</p>
<p><strong>Psalm 119:105</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Take Peter for instance, he had come to his wit’s end and when he met the Lord Jesus and by a dint of divine direction his frustration was turned into celebration.</strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Luke 5:<sup>5-6</sup></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>5</sup></strong><strong>And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>6</sup></strong><strong>And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Jesus in His earthly ministry was in total command because He was totally guided.</p>
<p><strong>John 5:38</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom ye had sent, him ye believe not.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So divine direction is the answer to all human frustration. <strong>No wonder the Psalmist said in Psalm 119:105</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>God guides principally by His Word.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>In the year 2011, you shall be continually divinely guided in all your ways.</p>
<p>I believe that divine guidance will be a major tool in establishing the prominence of the end -time church, as contained in the prophecy of Joel.</p>
<p><strong>Joel 2:7-8</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Concerning the great end-time army.</p>
<p><strong><sup>7</sup></strong><strong>They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>8</sup></strong><strong>Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path; and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The end-time army are men and women that would be guided into the path of fulfilment.</p>
<p>Stop guessing. Desperately seek to be divinely guided. The journey will always be great when guided by the Spirit of the Lord.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>1. </strong><strong>It Opens You Up to Dominion</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Light will always have  its way, no matter how gross the darkness.</p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 60:1-3; John 1:5</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 60:1-3</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>1</sup></strong><strong>Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>2</sup></strong><strong>For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>3</sup></strong><strong>And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and the kings to the brightness of thy rising.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>John 1:5</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehendeth it not.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Light offers Dominion. You will be unstoppable wherever you turn.</p>
<p>When the Word of God illuminates our mortal beings, it can penetrate every area of darkness making it impossible for any power of darkness to harass you.</p>
<p>So, to walk in the Light is to walk in Dominion. Therefore the end-time church is a church that would exercise Dominion by the Force of Light in your spirit over the works of darkness. Ability to be in control in the midst of the works of darkness.</p>
<p><strong>Genesis 1:1-3</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>1</sup></strong><strong>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>2</sup></strong><strong>And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><sup>3</sup></strong><strong>And God said, Let there be light: and He saw was light.</strong></p>
<p>So any area of your life you are under the torment of the force of darkness</p>
<p><strong>2 Corinthians 4:4</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of god, should shine unto them.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The devil works so hard per day to hinder the light of the gospel. He has no problem with you coming to church as long as you won’t understand what is said. As long as he can block you from  light he keeps you in bondage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>
<ol>
<li><strong>1. </strong><strong>You Enjoy Speed.</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Light guarantees unusual speed!</p>
<p>It is common knowledge in driving (particularly at night), that the brighter you see the faster you go.</p>
<p>We live in a dark world and it will take light to gain speed.</p>
<p><strong>Jeremiah1:11-12</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The clearer you see, the faster you move, talking about those prophetic “lighted” men</p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 60:3,8</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and the kings to the brightness of thy rising.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Their speed was comparable to the speed of the chariot. They enjoyed tremendous speed! What take you one year you will do it in one month. You would operate at the speed of light.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>2. </strong><strong>All –Round Protection for you</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Isaiah 60:18</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation and thy gates Praise</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>This happens by light. You must understand that darkness cannot understand the power of light.</p>
<p><strong>Psalm 74:20</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Have respect unto the covenant for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So when you become a carrier of light you begin to walk safe on planet Earth.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>5. </strong><strong>Light Guarantees Divine Health</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Isaiah 30:26</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Proverbs 4:20-23</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>You need light to dispel that bad situation and it can guarantee you the defence against sickness. You have body resistance by the light of the Word you have received.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s word it&#8217;s the most effective tool to having unending divine health</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>5. </strong><strong>You Always Have Joy</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>When Phillip went to Samaria and preached Christ there, the Bible says in Acts 8: 5-8 that joy filled the city. The revelation of the Word of God will always lead to an eruption of joy and gladness.</p>
<p>Isaiah 60:19 Jeremiah  15:16</p>
<p>The word of God is a provoker of joy because it paints a picture of a colourful future. It paints a picture that causes you to hope, in expectation the moment you.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>5. </strong><strong>Outstanding Success Becomes You</strong><strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Success is not a product of luck but of light. It is not the result of a fight, but the triumph of Light!</p>
<p>Yeah! We have come to the success season of the Church! We are in our success season. The Church is about to begin to command the attention of the world in all areas of life.</p>
<p>Isaiah 60:1</p>
<p>God’s end-time agenda for the Church is confirmed. We belong to the top and the Light of God will get us there in style. Arise, Shine, for your light is come! To shine implies to succeed in flying colours, it is to have good success,. Bur once again, the pathway to it is stated in Joshua 1;8</p>
<p>In other words, the correct application of the word will always lead to distinction in life.</p>
<p>Therefore I say to you again by the Spirit of the Lord, By light your dominion shall be established.</p>
<p>Finally,You have heard many things but have applied few of them.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Isaiah 2:5</p>
<p>It is one thing to have light, it is another thing to walk in the light thereby embracing the responsibility that will commit God to the reality thereof.</p>
<p>It is not enough to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">confess</span> it. It is time to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">profess</span></strong> what we believe!</p>
<p>The only guided flight to the mountain-top of health, strength, success, dominion is light.</p>
<p>There are two levels of partaking of the Word</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>i. </strong>The Hearing Level -<strong>Proverbs 20:12</strong><strong> </strong></li>
<li>The Seeing Level</li>
</ol>
<p>The second level is the Light level. This is the realm that 2 Corinthians 4:4 talks about.</p>
<p>It is a concern to the devil, because at this level, when light comes in, you naturally disarm the devil.  That makes you insurmountable and unoppressible.</p>
<p>The things you see stay longer with you than what you hear. You may debate with what you heard, but you can’t argue with what you see.</p>
<p>Move from the realm of hearing to the realm of seeing that it&#8217;s the realm of light.</p>
<p>Anything you can&#8217;t see,you can&#8217;t say,until you see,say,you can&#8217;t possess</p>
<p>Psalm119:18,1John1:1-the things you say carefully,they are the things you have not yet seen</p>
<p>This is the dimension that the devil can’t stand, it is the glorious light realm of 2 Corinthians 4;4.</p>
<p>If anything is not working in you life, don’t watch it, go and find what will make it work.</p>
<p><strong>SO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>WHAT DO YOU DO WITH PROPHECY</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Believe the Source</li>
<li>Receive it with faith</li>
<li>God is committed to deliver it.</li>
</ol>
<p>To walk in the reality of the prophetic, you must sit with the Word and sit tight with anointed materials, audio and video tapes, CDs, etc</p>
<p>Whatever can boost your spirit man should become your essential compass in year 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Luke 10:42</strong></p>
<p>With a sense of conviction and absolute faith in those words of prophecy.</p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;">In the same vein, say this with me:</p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong> </strong><strong></p>
<p>I accept full responsibility to walk in the light of these prophecies.</p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;">I shall sit at the feet of Jesus, receiving His word.</p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;">I shall sit around ministry gifts (men sent by God to lighten the world) and their anointed teachings to enhance the intensity of my light.</p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;">I shall invest in materials, books, magazines and tapes.</p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"> </p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;">So help me Lord. And so shall it be in Jesus name, Amen.</p>
<p></strong></strong></strong><strong><strong><strong> </strong><strong> </strong><strong> </strong><strong></p>

</strong><br />
Your tommorrow will be alright. It may seem like people have written you off.</p>
<p><strong>John 14:1&#8211;Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.</strong></p>
<p>This is my testimony- &#8211; I used to use the bible to smoke marijuana. i went from one night club to another  and pubs to pubs; I even had a room in a prostitute&#8217;s house, but today, I am not ashamed of the gospel.</p>
<p>No matter te false doings and background, be aware that tomorrow will be alright.<br />
There are places where you can go, heaven and hell. Take Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and be Great!<br />
With Jesus on your side, tomorrow will be alright.</p>
<p><strong>PASTOR ADEBO TOMOMEWO</strong></p>
<p>You will have a new beginning. It starts with Christ<br />
New beginning is not rehabiliation or patching. You will be brand new.</p>
<p><strong>2 Corinthians 5:17-  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.</strong></p>
<p>When you come to Jesus, a new beginning will start up. There is always a new you waiting to emerge. Your encounter with Crist is an encounter with new beginning. True change from the inside starts from within you. Jesus can take you from a zero to a hero.</p>
<p>You will never have a future if you are still living in your pass.</p>
<p><strong>Phillippians 3:13&#8211; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,<br />
</strong><br />
You may think everything about you is upside down but Jesus can turn it right for you. Old things are past away.</p>
<p>True change comes from within you through the power of God. the power of God can transform any community. too much drinking, smoking can cause lungs and kidney damage</p>
<p><strong>2 Corinthians 5: 17-19&#8212;-17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.</p>
<p> 18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;</p>
<p> 19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.</strong></p>
<p>Zacheous climbed the tree to see Jesus.<br />
New beginning starts at the cross. For all the people who have been condemed, I want you to know that Jesus wants to give you a new start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is my heartfelt desire that this month you will experience God’s experiential favour, in other words, real and tangible favour.</p>
<p>Any principle you are given that has no foundation on how it is to work renders that principle unworkable.</p>
<p>Read Psalm 44 vs 1-3</p>
<p>This scripture describes the journey of the Israelites in the wilderness.  All the manifestations the people experienced on the platform of God’s favour.  Every work that God does is an expression of His favour.  </p>
<p>This month I believe God that you will experience not the concept but the full physical manifestation of God’s favour.  A lot of people are content to live with just the concept of God’s favour rather than experiencing the real thing!  You have a responsibility to press into the practical experiences of favour. </p>
<p>In the above scripture we note that the Israelites experienced three distinct manifestations of God’s favour:</p>
<p>o	His Right Hand<br />
o	His Right Arm<br />
o	TheLight of His Countenance<br />
The above favours are the reason that none perished in the wilderness.</p>
<p>The Greek word for Favour is Charis which also means Grace.  When you gain favour with your fellow man you gain special access and receive favours of them.  </p>
<p>Grace gives us the same access to God by the blood of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>The most important principle to obtain and experience God’s favour is honour and reverence for God’s presence.  Read Psalm 89 vs 7.  Be warned that God will never express Himself where He is not esteemed, honoured, reverenced or feared!</p>
<p>Rituals (habits) to Secure God’s Favour</p>
<p>o	Read your Bible Daily- Ps 119 :130<br />
o	Listen to the Word of God- Dan 10:19<br />
Rom 10:17<br />
o	Church Attendance – Heb 10:25; Ps 122:1<br />
o	Praise &#038; Worship<br />
o	Entering the Secret place daily – Ps 16:11; 1 Chron 15:12; Mark 1:35<br />
o	Tithing – Lev 27:30-32; Mal 3:10<br />
o	Generosity – 2 Corin 8:1; Phil 4:15<br />
o	Walk in Love</p>
