Unlike Zechariah in Luke 1, who doubted God's promises and had his mouth shut down until the promise was fulfilled. Mary stood firm on God's promises and used her mouth to receive what God had spoken about her. Our word declarations determine our way of living

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29 ESV While waiting on the Lord, learn to use your mouth in declaring your faith until you see it happen. Isaiah 51:16 NKJV says, “And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”

While waiting on the Lord, set eyes on His ways rather than on His deeds. Psalms 103:7 NKJV says, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” God's ways are higher than our ways, walk in His ways and be magnified above all circumstances.

Romans 8:29 ESV While waiting on the Lord, set eyes on His ways rather than on His deeds.

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29 ESV Waiting on the Lord is an exciting experience, for we are looking forward to a transformation into a life that has already been written for us. It is like trying to unwrap a present . We do not wait on the new while holding on to the old, hanging on to the old life. The Lord said in Luke 9:62 ESV, “No one who put

God has authored a pleasant life, a bright future for us by making us in the image of His Son, because He lives, we shall live. Jeremiah 29:11 ESV, says, “ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29 ESV Beloved, welcome to this year's season of advent. Let us use this season to learn how to wait on the Lord. We do not just wait on the Lord to answer us, rather we wait to conform to who God has made us to be, the image of His Son. Just as a pharmacist dispenses medication in conformity with the prescription. In th

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalms 121:1-2 NKJV We are just like weak vessels but our help is from God. Psalms 44:3 NKJV says about the Israelites, “For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.” Even though God was th

the Lord, whose promises I praise. Psalm 56:10 GNT Moses told the Israelites, “Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster.” (‭‭Deuteronomy 30:15 CEV‬‬) Life and success comes from the love of God and His commands, while death and disaster comes from the love of the world. So, to live is to love our creator more than the created, make our union with Christ a priority over all things. God has not forgotten us, Psalms 16:5 TPT says,

Just as every city has law enforcement agencies, because there are still those who will break the law. In the same way, we are God's own kings on earth to rule over all, enforce judgment decreed. Psalm 149:9 ESV says, “ to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord!”

Just for the fact that we go through moments of troubles or sorrow does not mean that we are not the rescued of God. Instead in all those troubles and sorrows, we are more than conquerors because we are the rescued of God.

Those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 51:11 NIV Think of what it means that the Almighty God is the One that rescued us . Isaiah 14:27 NLT, says, “ The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?” Let us not fret when we face trials for whom the Son of Man s

Every aspect of our lives: health and wellbeing, finances, marriages etc, including all the cells of our body,are under the payroll of His mercy. (I Corinthians 6:20 ) They all receive a fresh dose of mercy everyday. So, there is no room for sickness, hardships, depression, bitterness, rage, hatred etc.

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. I Corinthians 6:20 NKJV What great news that we are no longer our own, we are purchased by His blood, the blood that speaks of mercy. Hebrews 12:24 NKJV says, “ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.” Every aspect of our lives: health and wellbeing, finances, marriages etc, including all the ce

DO NOT BE A SILENT WATCHDOG, PRAY FOR YOUR LAND Acts 12:5 ESV says, “ So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.” Beloved, Peter could have been executed by Herod if not that the church prayed for him without ceasing! How about us? WE PRAY FOR THE RELEASE AND SAFETY OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU AND ALL THE VICTIMS OF WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT, AND FOR THE RESTORATION OF TRUE JUSTICE AND PEACE IN OUR LAND AND THOSE OF THE WHOLE WORLD IN JESUS NA

Psalms 94:20 NIV says, “Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?” I like how the New Living Translation(NLT) version says it, “ Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice? They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. (Psalms 94:20-21 NLT) Psalms 125:3 NIV says, “The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. Acts 4:27-28 NIV They dished out all the punishment they could ever do on Jesus on the cross with the hope of destroying Him. Isaiah 52:14 NIV says that, “his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and

the Lord, whose promises I praise. Psalm 56:10 GNT We are not hidden, it doesn't matter anymore where we are in this world, our light shines. Our duty is to believe. The exciting part is that He said, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” WE are to set the world on fire, burning and shining with all the virtues and excellences of the Holy Spirit. To follow Jesus, is to partake in the light of life. That means to keep pondering His

The enemy is under our feet, a subdued position, let us not buzz him into our lives by our feelings. In Psalms 18:40 NLT, David said, “ You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me.”

they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. Psalms 91:12-13 NIV Why did God specifically give the angels command concerning our feet? “they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” This is because that is the realm the enemy and his demons belong to, under our feet. The Bible says that Chr
