TRAVAILING DEEPLY IN PRAYER FOR SOULS

NOVEMBER 18, 2025

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them

that are lost: 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

(2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learnt in

soul winning is the value of persistence in prayer.

When you’re interceding for someone’s salvation, you

move into deep travail, wailing in the Spirit. You already

said before entering your place of prayer, “Today’s prayer

is deep travail” because you know the worth of a soul.

When the Lord Jesus spoke of the man who found one

pearl of great price, He said the man sold all he had to

obtain it (Matthew 13:45-46). That’s what a soul means to

God, and that’s what we understand as soul winners that

make us groan in prayer and keep pressing until a soul is

won and established in the Kingdom.

When you intercede like this, you continue in the Spirit

until there’s a release. The love of Christ compels you.

You’re not praying out of selfish interest. You’re not crying

in prayer over someone you want to marry or do business

with; it’s strictly for their salvation. You’re driven by love

and the Spirit’s burden for a life that must be transformed,

a soul that must be won for Christ.

Read our opening scripture again; it lets you know that

in the place of intercession, you pray passionately that the

light of the glorious gospel of Christ shines in the hearts

of those who haven’t yet known the Lord, prevailing over

darkness, religion and deception.

You don’t stop; you declare that every resistance in

their hearts to the Gospel is broken, they’re delivered from

Satan’s dominion, and as they hear the message, their

hearts are open to receive it for their salvation. Hallelujah!

Remember, “...The earnest (heartfelt, continued)

prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power

available [dynamic in its working]” (James 5:16 AMPC).

Your heartfelt intercessory prayers will make the required

power available for their salvation.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and

committing to me the ministry of reconciliation. I’m

stirred and compelled by your love to intercede for the

lost, praying with passion and divine urgency. And as I

do, they’re delivered from darkness into light, and from

the power of Satan unto God. Amen.

THE IMMENSE VALUE OF A SOUL

NOVEMBER 17, 2025

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto

a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

Who, when he had found one pearl of

great price, went and sold all that he had,

and bought it (Matthew 13:45-46).

The Lord Jesus likened the Kingdom of heaven to

a merchant seeking precious pearls. And when

he found one pearl of great price, he sold everything he

had to purchase it. This shows us the immense value God

places on a single soul. Every soul matters deeply to God,

for they’re worth the life of Jesus Christ.

You're not just reaching people to grow your church,

fellowship or cell group; we’re not merely adding numbers;

we’re going after treasures. That one person you prayed

for, followed up, encouraged and refused to give up on,

even when they seemed disinterested or resistant to the

message, is seen by heaven as a pearl of great price.

Many years ago, I was just a young teenager, about

13 years old, curious, distracted, and unsure of many

things. But there was a gentleman who wouldn't give up

on me. He kept following me up, reaching out, helping me

stay focused, serving the Lord. He was one person God

used to help me get steady in the things of God. But for

his persistence, I might never have stepped into ministry.

That's what your intercession and follow-up can

do for someone. That's what your consistent prayers

of intercession can achieve. When you lead someone

to Christ or help stabilize a new Christian, you may be

impacting generations and rescuing a destiny. So, never

underestimate the worth of one soul.

Recall the teaching of the Master when He talked about

the lost sheep. He said there’s exceeding joy in heaven

over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just

persons that need no repentance (Luke 15:7). That one

person you're praying for, calling, visiting, and encouraging

is not just another face, but heaven’s delight; a pearl of

inestimable value. And the Lord Jesus says it's worth giving

everything to win that one.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the value you’ve placed on

every soul. I see through your eyes and reach out to

others with the same love and tenacity with which you

reached out to the world. I recognise that every soul is a

pearl of great price, and I’m inspired to go after them with

passion and grace, and in the power of the Spirit. Thank

you for making me a soul winner, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD,AND THE SEED

 NOVEMBER 16, 2025

Another parable put he forth unto them,

saying, The kingdom of heaven is

likened unto a man which sowed good

seed in his field (Matthew 13:24).

The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about

the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound

truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat

and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of

heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed

in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord

Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children

of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the

world.

This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not

in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you

the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to

Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter

how polluted it appears, the field still belongs to Jesus.

The Bible says while men slept, the enemy came and

sowed tares in the field. Tares are the children of the wicked

one. The Lord Jesus explained clearly that the enemy who

sowed these tares is the devil. So we understand why both

good and evil are seen operating side-by-side in the world

and even in places associated with God's work.

In verse 30, while still explaining the same parable, the

Master said, “Let both grow together until the harvest:

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,

Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in

bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my

barn.” That harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers

are the angels. At the appointed time, the tares will be

gathered and burned, but the wheat, the righteous, will be

gathered into His barn. Glory to God! This is so comforting.

We're the good seed, the children of the Kingdom,

planted in the field of the world for a purpose. That's why

we can stand boldly anywhere and declare, "We own the

world,” because it belongs to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus

Christ, and we’re His heirs. We’re in charge and in control;

we're here to shine and bear fruits of righteousness. No

matter what opposition or darkness there is, remember

this: the field is His and He planted you in it. So, shine as a

light, reign as a king, and bring in the harvest. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I shine as a light and bear fruits of righteousness. I

dominate and prevail over the works of darkness because

I’m the seed of Christ. Thank you, Lord, for making me

a vessel of glory and impact in this generation, winning

souls and bringing many into the Kingdom. Amen.

OUR MAGNUM OPUS

 NOVEMBER 15, 2025

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do

the will of him that sent me, and to finish

his work (John 4:34).

The divine assignment God has entrusted to us is to

bring salvation to the nations, expand His kingdom,

and complete the work that the Lord Jesus started. The

Bible says, “...he shall see his seed, he shall prolong

his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper

in his hand” (Isaiah 53:10). In Mark 16:15, He said, “...

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every

creature.” This is our magnum opus—the grandest work

of all history.

Others before us began it, but we’ve been called to

complete it. This generation has been chosen for the

grand finale, and we will prevail. Hallelujah! We’re the

most equipped generation in the history of the Church.

We’ve been blessed beyond measure. We’ve received

knowledge, insight, platforms, resources, and divine

connections. We’ve been given all the grace necessary.

There are no excuses. We have the message. We have

the mandate. And we have the means.

When you set long-term goals for career, travel, or

personal success, make sure to consider setting your

personal targets for the full preaching of the Gospel. The

Master did. He said, “...My meat is to do the will of him

that sent me, and to finish his work” (John 4:34). His

focus was on completing His divine mission.

The Lord gave us a clear vision; He said, “...this

gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the

world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall

the end come” (Matthew 24:14). And we’re the ones to

preach it. We’ve been graced and empowered to do it, and

we will not falter. The Gospel is penetrating every nation,

every city, and every community.

Give more of your time, energy and resources into

the Gospel. Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, knowing

that your labour of love is yielding eternal harvest. Stay

committed; intercede for sinners, persevere in love, and

let your financial involvement continue to bear lasting fruits

for the Kingdom. We’re in the final stretch. Stay fervent.

Stay yielded to the Spirit. The Gospel will cover the earth

as the Lord has said. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and

making me a partner in the end-time mandate of

completing the full preaching of the Gospel in the nations

of the world. The Gospel prevails through me; and I thank

you for your grace, wisdom and divine strategies being

employed by the Church to finish the great work you

started, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

EMPOWERED TO CHANGE OUR WORLD

 NOVEMBER 14, 2025

And, behold, I send the promise of my

Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city

of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with

power from on high (Luke 24:49).

The Lord Jesus spent about three years with His

disciples before His death, burial and resurrection.

During the period, they learnt from Him, walked with Him,

watched His miracles, heard His message, and received

direct impartations from Him. They had a message, they

had the calling, and they had been trained.

Yet, before they could take a step into ministry, He

gave them this vital instruction: “And, behold, I send the

promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the

city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from

on high” (Luke 24:49). In other words, even though they

were ready in every other sense, they needed one more

thing: the promise of my Father.

That promise was the Holy Spirit, and without Him,

their efforts wouldn’t produce divine results. But with Him,

they would be effective.And that’s exactly what happened.

Luke, in Acts 2:14-41, describes how the same Peter

who had once denied Jesus (Luke 22:61-62) stood up

boldly on the day of Pentecost and delivered a powerful

message that transformed three thousand lives: "But

Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice,

and said unto them..." (Acts 2:14).

He didn’t stop there. In Acts 4:4, after he and John

healed a lame man, he preached boldly again and the Bible

says, "...many of them which heard the word believed;

and the number of the men was about five thousand."

That’s effectiveness. That’s divine speed. Through the

Holy Spirit, Peter’s outreach expanded rapidly, resulting

in thousands being saved within a very short time.

Today, we have the same Holy Spirit, and the results

are the same. He’s made us effective witnesses. We’re not

trying to get into that place of power; we’ve already been

endued with power (Acts 1:8). We’ve been empowered

to change our world as able ministers of the Gospel (2

Corinthians 3:5-6). We’re making an impact, transforming

lives all over the world. We’re functioning exactly as God

intended, with power, with dominion, and with undeniable

results.

We’re moving with the speed of the Spirit, for the Bible

says, “A quick work will the Lord do, and cut it short in

righteousness” (Romans 9:28). This is not by might, nor

by human power, but by the Spirit of the living God. It’s

God’s wisdom, God’s speed, and God’s ability at work in

us. The Gospel is prevailing. The nations are open. The

harvest is abundant. And this is all to His glory!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in

me and has made me effective in life and ministry. I’m

walking in power, wisdom and dominion, producing

results that bring you glory, advancing your Kingdom

with divine speed, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE CHARACTER OF YOUR INWARD MAN

 NOVEMBER 13, 2025

For I delight in the law of God after the

inward man (Romans 7:22).

In Romans 7:22, Paul the apostle uses a striking

phrase: “the inward man.” That's the real you. The

outward man, clothed in beautiful apparel, is simply the

house in which the real person lives. So, when Paul said,

"I delight in the law of God after the inward man," he was

showing us something deeply spiritual: your inner man is

active, aware, and responsive to God.

Everything you are, outwardly, is a reflection of your

inner person. In the spirit realm, you don't appear as

someone else; no! You look like you. So when you see

yourself in the spirit, there's no confusion or disconnect.

You'll say, "Yes, that's me!" Your spirit carries your identity.

Someone might ask, "If I'm physically fat, for example,

does that mean my spirit is fat?" No, this is not about body

mass or the anatomy of the physical body. In the spirit,

you don't see a fat or thin person; you simply see you.

The real transformation, the one that truly matters, is your

inner man. That’s why the emphasis is building your inner

man; that’s where the day-to-day renewal takes place: “For

which cause we faint not; but though our outward man

perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” (2

Corinthians 4:16).

If you want changes in your life, start from the inside.

Many struggle with discipline, for instance, but discipline

isn't achieved by external effort alone. It begins in the

inward man. Train your spirit, feed it with the Word, and

your outward life will align. That’s why we say, “Change

the inside first”; change the inner man, and the outward

man will follow.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for enlightening me through your

Word to recognise my true self, the inward man. I grow

in character and strength from within, and my outward

life is shaped by the excellence of my spirit, in Jesus’

Name. Amen.

THE POWER OF “EPIGNOSIS”

NOVEMBER 12, 2025

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you

through the knowledge of God, and of

Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

The Apostle Peter addresses those who have

obtained like precious faith through the

righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Then

he declares, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you

through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord"

(2 Peter 1:2).

But he's not referring to just any kind of knowledge.

The Greek word used for knowledge here is “Epignósis,”

a specialized knowledge. It refers to the knowledge that

comes through relationship and experience. It's knowledge

that relates with that object of knowledge or that which is

known. You may know something intellectually, but that

doesn't mean you relate with it.

“Epignósis” is full, deep, exact knowledge. Think of

it like footballers: some of them can control the ball with

astonishing mastery. It's as though they've become one

with the ball. They've made friends with it. To them, it's no

longer just a piece of leather but something that has gained

a personality to them.

Contrast that with someone who has general

knowledge about the round leather ball. He or she might

know the material, size, or structure of the ball. He may

even be able to tell you the science behind its design, but

he can't control it. He has no mastery of the ball.

Mastery comes by relationship, and “Epignósis” is the

knowledge that makes us masters. It unites the knower

with that which is known. It comes through meditation on

the Word—when the Word becomes personal to you and

moves from theory to relationship. This establishes you

and causes grace and peace to be multiplied in your life.

So, cultivate that relationship with the Word. Let it become

more than information. Let it become a living reality; your

life will blossom, and you’ll be a wonder to your world.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into a deeper and

more intimate knowledge of you through your Word. I

walk in multiplied grace and peace today, functioning

with the precise and full knowledge of your Word. My

spirit is established, strengthened and aligned with your

perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

MINISTERING BY THE SPIRIT

NOVEMBER 11, 2025

And he took him aside from the multitude,

and put his fingers into his ears, and

he spit, and touched his tongue; And

looking up to heaven, he sighed, and

saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be

opened (Mark 7:33-34).

Consider how the Lord ministered healing to the

deaf-mute in our opening scripture. When you

study the Gospels, you’ll notice that He ministered to

people in different ways. In Matthew 12:13, when He

healed a man with a withered hand, He said to him, “...

Stretch forth your hand...” and when the man obeyed, his

withered hand was restored. The Master didn’t need to

physically touch the man; He only spoke to him.

In some other instances, He used more personal and

physical methods to bring healing to people. For example,

in Luke 18:42, He told a blind man, “Receive your sight,”

and his sight was restored. Similarly, in John 9:6-7, the Lord

spat on the ground, made clay with the spittle, anointed

a man’s eyes with it and instructed him to go wash in the

Pool of Siloam. Consequently, his sight was restored.

Even though the Lord didn’t always minister in the

same way to everyone, one thing was constant: He

ministered to them by and through the Spirit, despite their

unique conditions or cases. It’s the same today. He sent

us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils and

raise the dead, and we do these by the Spirit.

We know by the Spirit when all we’re to do is merely

speak words, lay hands, or do something unique or specific

as prompted by the same Spirit. In the Healing School, for

example, that’s what happens. When I step up to minister

to someone, oftentimes, I see by the Spirit, a quick vision

of what I’m to do, either before I approach the person or

right when I’m standing before him or her. This is through

the gifts of the Spirit.

It’s different from ministering solely through faith. In

that case, you may have to preach a message and act

your faith together with the individual, and that’d produce

healing through your mutual faith. But the key is being in

the Spirit; being full of the Spirit: “And be not drunk with

wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit”

(Ephesians 5:18).

CONFESSION

Thank you, Father, for the ministry of the Holy Spirit

in my life; I function by the Spirit. I walk in His visions,

promptings and blessings. My spirit is sensitive, and

my faith is active. I minister in your Name with boldness

and divine direction, bringing healing to the sick and

blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

STRENGTHENED AND ESTABLISHED

NOVEMBER 10, 2025

For I long to see you, that I may impart

unto you some spiritual gift, to the end

ye may be established (Romans 1:11).

The word "established" in the scripture above is

translated from the Greek "stērizō," which means

to be made strong or strengthened again. Paul longed to

see the Christians in Rome so he could minister to them

to be strengthened, spiritually fortified, and grounded.

This same word appears in Acts 15:41, where it says,

"And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming

the churches." Here, it’s translated as “confirming,” but

it’s the same Greek word, “stērizō.” You’d also find it in

Acts 16:5 translated as “established”: "And so were the

churches established in the faith, and increased in

number daily."

When the churches were strengthened, they grew.

Establishment in the Word and in the Spirit results

in spiritual maturity and church growth. This spiritual

strengthening isn't just about an increase in the number

of people in the church; it's about the spiritual depth and

stability of the members. Paul's impartation was to make

them strong, to give them a spiritual advantage.

That's the real “confirmation”; it’s not achieved through

religious rituals or recitations, but by the power of the

Holy Spirit, through the Word and oftentimes, the laying

on of hands. Sometimes, for you to operate at a new and

higher level of ministry requires more grace, this kind of

strengthening; and you must be positioned to receive it.

James 4:6 says, "But he giveth more grace...."

When there's a new challenge, a new assignment, or

an expanded vision, what you need is more grace. So,

receive it even now, and function at a new and higher

level; established, strong and courageous for the work of

the Kingdom. Amen.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the impartation of spiritual

gifts and the abundance of grace at work in my life.

My spirit is strengthened and established by your

Word. I receive more grace for every new level, new

responsibility, and greater vision. I walk in the fullness of

your divine enablement and fulfil my calling gloriously,

in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOU CAN COUNT ON HIM

NOVEMBER 9, 2025

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night

by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and

hold not thy peace: For I am with thee,

and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee:

for I have much people in this city

(Acts 18:9-10).

As a soul winner, the Lord Himself is your defence.

You can count on Him to protect and keep you from

harm or evil as you go about witnessing to others about

Jesus Christ. Be confident in His ever-present guidance

and protection. You’re not alone in this divine assignment.

He who sent you is with you, and He speaks to you and

through you.

Think about Paul, in Acts 18, after he faced strong

opposition from the Jews for preaching that Jesus is

Lord, he turned to the Gentiles. The Lord guided Him

and he led Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, his

entire household, and many of the Corinthians to believe

and receive salvation (Acts 18:7-8). Then the Bible says,

“One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do

not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For

I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm

you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul

stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them

the word of God” (Acts 18:9-11 NIV).

The Lord didn’t leave Paul hamstrung or in uncertainty.

He spoke to him and assured him of His ever-present

guidance and protection. This happened in Corinth, a

city so significant that Paul later wrote two epistles to the

church there. In fact, from Bible study, we understand he

even wrote a third letter that isn’t in the canon of Scripture.

But at that crucial moment in Corinth, Paul needed

reassurance, and the Lord gave it to him. Emboldened

by the Word of the Lord, Paul remained there for a year

and six months, teaching the Word of God with boldness

and power, raising disciples. And thanks be unto God, the

same Spirit is working in, with and through you as you

disciple others.

Be conscious of His ministry with, in and through

you. He said, “...surely I am with you always, to the

very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NIV). With Him,

you’ll navigate oppositions and accomplish your divine

assignment gloriously.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your ever-abiding presence

and the assurance that I’m never alone. I’m guided by

your Spirit, and strengthened to be effective, bold and

courageous in soul winning. Thank you for those you’ve

appointed and prepared to receive salvation today, as

your truth is proclaimed all around the world, in Jesus’

Name. Amen.

YOUR VOCATION—A PLATFORM TO REACH OTHERS

NOVEMBER 8, 2025

And when Silas and Timotheus were

come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed

in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that

Jesus was Christ (Acts 18:5).

In Acts chapter 18, Luke, by the Spirit, gives us insight

into the soul-winning strategy of the Apostle Paul. He

arrived in Corinth and met Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who

had just relocated from Italy. The Bible says they were

tentmakers, and because Paul was of the same trade, he

joined them and worked alongside them.

This wasn't a mere coincidence; it was a divine

strategy. Paul used his trade as a connection point—he

found common ground with them. During the week, he

worked. But every Sabbath, he went into the synagogue

to reason with the Jews and the Greeks, persuading them

concerning Christ. His tent-making served as a bridge into

the lives of others, and from there, he introduced them to

the Gospel.

Then something significant happened. When Silas and

Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was stirred, pressed

in the spirit, and immediately began testifying boldly that

Jesus was the Christ. The atmosphere had changed.

The presence of fellow labourers brought fresh fire and

inspiration. The time for reasoning was over.

This shows us the power of spiritual companionship.

When you're around others who are fervent in soul winning,

it propels you to greater boldness. In the company of soul

winners, the Spirit moves you. You receive strength and

courage to proclaim the Gospel without fear.

Even Aquila and Priscilla, who initially received Paul as

a tentmaker, were so impacted that later, they ministered

to Apollos and helped him receive the Holy Ghost. What

started as a business relationship became a platform for

transformation and ministry.

Recognise that God strategically places you in certain

environments for the sake of the Gospel. Be spiritually

conscious of this truth and seize every opportunity to

testify that Jesus is Lord. Let the excellence of your spirit

shine through. You're not just a lawyer, banker, politician,

medical doctor, marketer, or athlete; you're a soul winner,

sent from God! Your vocation is a platform for you to impact

and transform the lives of those in your same line of work.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for strategically positioning me in

my world to impact others with the Gospel. I’m led by the

Spirit to recognise and seize opportunities to transform

lives, reshape destinies, and reveal your righteousness.

The boldness of the Spirit is at work in me today, in Jesus’

Name. Amen.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOUL-WINNING OPPORTUNITIES

NOVEMBER 7, 2025

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near,

and join thyself to this chariot

(Acts 8:29).

Always, the Holy Spirit, who is the Master Strategist,

guides us in our soul-winning efforts. He leads you

from within and makes your witnessing effective, guiding

you on the right words to say and actions to take. He

opens the door and expects you to recognise and seize

the moment.

Consider, for example, how He guided Philip in Acts

8 to minister to the Ethiopian eunuch. Philip had already

received direction from an angel to go to a certain location,

but when he arrived there, the Holy Spirit spoke to him

and gave him clear instructions on what to do: "Then the

Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this

chariot" (Acts 8:29).

Notice how precise the Spirit’s instruction was:

“Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” With that,

Philip understood what was required because he was

evangelism-conscious. He didn’t ask, “What next?” or

hesitate; rather, upon getting to the chariot, he immediately

began expounding the Scriptures to the Ethiopian Eunuch

(Read Acts 8:30-39). That’s how soul winners operate.

When you're attuned to the Spirit, He doesn’t have to

give you a full script. You recognise the moment, and you

know what to say. The Holy Spirit simply opens the door

and you walk in, equipped and ready. That’s how Philip

led the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ. You must be that kind

of Christian: one who takes full advantage of soul-winning

opportunities.

Many times, I’ve had such moments. Even before

the conversation begins, I’m already speaking in tongues

under my breath, preparing “the soil.” I don’t waste time. I

go straight to the point: “Have you received the Holy Spirit?”

or “Are you born again?”

I don’t want to leave the conversation without talking

about Jesus. What if that’s the only chance I’ll ever get?

What if it’s their only opportunity to hear the Gospel? So,

when the Holy Spirit nudges you, seize the moment. Speak

boldly. Recognise the open door and walk through it.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me

and guides me in all things. I’m sensitive to His leading

and alert to the opportunities He presents. I walk through

every open door with boldness and wisdom, fulfilling

your call to win souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BE SPIRITUALLY ALERT ALWAYS

NOVEMBER 6, 2025

While Peter thought on the vision, the

Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men

seek thee (Acts 10:19).

As a Christian, you must always be spiritually

alert. Otherwise, you may not recognise divine

promptings, and you may struggle to discern the voice of

the Spirit. A vital part of soul winning is being led by the

Holy Spirit, and for that, your spirit must be sensitive.

In Acts 10, we see a beautiful example with Peter.

He had gone upstairs to pray, and while praying, he fell

into a trance and saw a vision from heaven: a great sheet

lowered with all kinds of unclean animals. Then, a voice

said to him, "...Peter, kill and eat" (Acts 10:13 AMPC).

This happened three times.

Clearly, the Lord was trying to get Peter’s attention for

the salvation of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, who at the

time had already sent three of his servants to fetch Peter.

Then the Bible says in verses 17-20, “Now while Peter

doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen

should mean, behold, the men which were sent from

Cornelius...stood before the gate, and called....While

Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,

Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get

thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I

have sent them."

The Holy Spirit gave clear direction and instructions to

Peter such that he didn't need to second-guess. But notice

that Peter was in prayer while this happened. As a result,

Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his entire household

received salvation and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. What

if Peter hadn't responded? What if he had hesitated?

When your spirit is sensitive and active through prayer,

meditation on the Word, and walking in fellowship with the

Holy Spirit, it’s easier to recognise and respond to the Holy

Spirit’s guidance.

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the inspiration through your

Word and the Spirit. I’m spiritually alert and responsive to

your guidance. I function beyond the senses. I recognise

your voice and follow your instructions without doubt

or delay. I’m a soul winner, led by your Spirit always, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT

NOVEMBER 5, 2025

And they that be wise shall shine as the

brightness of the firmament; and they

that turn many to righteousness as the

stars for ever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

I recall someone asking me many years ago, “What

job do you do?” Very quickly, I answered, "I'm into

soul development." He was startled and didn't know what

that meant. But that term, "soul development", is exactly

what we do. As a Christian, especially a soul winner, don't

ever let anyone talk you down or suggest you're without

a job.

You're doing the greatest, most important work in the

world: turning men from darkness to light and training

them in righteousness. That's the true meaning of soul

development. The Bible says, "They that turn many to

righteousness shall shine as the stars forever" (Daniel

12:3). Why? Because those you win become trees of

righteousness, which the Bible calls “...the planting of

the LORD, that He might be glorified" (Isaiah 61:3).

There are all kinds of trees, but when you win souls to

Christ, you raise trees of righteousness. This is why our

work is so glorious. It's divine! There's no higher calling.

God's number one job is soul winning. That's why He sent

the Lord Jesus. The Bible says, "For God so loved the

world that he gave his only begotten Son..." (John 3:16).

He gave His best to win the whole world.

Always think and strategize with the Spirit on what

more you can do with regard to soul winning. Your daily

passion and pursuit should be about how else you can

reach more souls. Everything you do, your excellence,

ideas and innovations should revolve around this one thing:

soul development. This is your calling, your purpose, and

your ministry. Praise God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the extraordinary blessing

of making me a soul winner. I carry myself with dignity

and excellence, representing Christ in every place. Your

wisdom flows through me, and your glory radiates from

my life as I minister the Gospel and lead sinners out of

darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

LIVE VICTORIOUSLY FROM INSIDE OUT

NOVEMBER 4, 2025

For which cause we faint not; but though

our outward man perish, yet the inward

man is renewed day by day

(2 Corinthians 4:16).

In 2 Corinthians 4:16, the Apostle Paul draws a sharp

contrast between the outward man and the inward

man. He says, "...though our outward man perish,

yet the inward man is renewed day by day." He was

referring to the physical challenges and persecutions he

and his companions faced in ministry: the bruises, beatings

and hardship. Yet, in all of it, he affirmed the continual

strengthening of the inward man.

He went on to describe these trials as "light affliction"

(verse 17). It wasn't that the afflictions were naturally

light, but compared to the glory that was to be revealed,

they were insignificant. He said, "...our light affliction...

worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight

of glory." This is a spiritual perspective, one only possible

when you view life through the eyes of the Spirit.

Paul shows us the principle behind such confidence:

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but

at the things which are not seen..." (verse 18). That's

profound. You can only look at unseen things through the

eyes of your spirit. And Paul tells us why this matters: "...

the things which are seen are temporal; but the things

which are not seen are eternal" (verse 18). Spiritual

things are real and permanent; they're the things that

matter.

Peter echoes this truth in 1 Peter 3:4, where he speaks

of "the hidden man of the heart," another name for the

inward man. He describes this man as possessing "the

ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of

God of great price." Though hidden, God wants this inward

man to shine outwardly, to dominate your visible life.

Let the recreated human spirit gain the ascendancy.

Let the beauty, discipline and strength of the inward man

become the ornament of your life. That's how to live

victoriously from the inside out.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the strengthening and renewal

of my inward man. I fix my gaze on eternal realities and

live daily from the spirit. The qualities of my recreated

spirit dominate my outward life, bringing glory to your

Name, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE BEAUTY OF SERVING WITH THE SPIRIT

NOVEMBER 3, 2025

For God is my witness, whom I serve

with my spirit in the gospel of his Son,

that without ceasing I make mention of

you always in my prayers

(Romans 1:9).

One of the most striking thoughts from Romans

chapter 1 is the Apostle Paul's revelation on

serving through the Spirit as read in our opening scripture.

It emphasizes the consciousness of the spiritual in our

Christian service.

Paul didn't say he served God with his mind or body,

but with his spirit. This is so important because Christianity

is a spiritual walk, a spiritual ministry, and our service must

be offered through the Spirit to be acceptable to God. Paul

wasn't speaking metaphorically; rather, he was showing

us how to carry out our divine assignments.

Serving God with your spirit is about serving from the

inward man, engaging spiritual truths, and ministering

from a place of depth in the Holy Spirit. This is not head

knowledge or mechanical duty; it's priestly service from

the inner man. Then, in the latter part of the opening

scripture, he says, "...without ceasing I make mention

of you always in my prayers" (Romans 1:9). This was

also from his spirit. He was making intercession with the

intensity of one who is fully conscious of spiritual realities.

He didn’t stop there; in verse 12, he adds, "...that I

may be comforted together with you by the mutual

faith both of you and me." Recall that he had expressed

his desire to see the saints in Rome in verse 11, saying,

“For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some

spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established.” The

impartation wasn't one-sided; it required their mutual faith.

He was coming to strengthen them, but they were also

going to be a source of encouragement to him by their own

faith and response. This is the beauty of fellowship with

the Spirit, when we serve God with our spirits, we give and

receive of His grace and knowledge. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of serving you

with my spirit in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I’m

conscious of the operations of the Spirit in my life, His

wisdom, guidance and grace, to impart others with the

blessings of the Gospel. I walk in the power of your Spirit

today, producing fruits and works of righteousness, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SPIRITUAL

NOVEMBER 2, 2025

For to be carnally minded is death; but

to be spiritually minded is life and peace

(Romans 8:6).

In our soul-winning efforts, a vital requirement is the

strengthening and development of your human spirit,

the inward man. That’s the real “you” that was born again.

When we speak of salvation in Christ, we’re referring to

the salvation of the spirit. And for that salvation to express

itself, you must become conscious of spiritual things.

Spiritual consciousness is essential for spiritual growth.

When you're spiritually minded, you interpret life from the

perspective of the Word. You understand that you’re not of

this world. You're a spirit being, called by God to function

from the spirit-realm. Everything about the Christian life

starts from this awareness.

Take soul-winning, for example; the expression itself,

"soul winning", is spiritually precise. It doesn’t say “people

winning”; you’re reaching for the inner man of that person—

the soul, the spirit. That means you must be conscious

that those you're ministering to are spirit beings too. This

consciousness shapes how you see others and how you

handle life’s issues; you evaluate everything from the

spiritual.

This was what made the ministry of the Lord Jesus so

different from the religious leaders of His day. He brought

a spiritual ministry. And thanks be unto God; we’re born of

the Spirit and called to live in the Spirit. As a soul winner,

this is your arena. No book in the world reveals the realities

and life of the human spirit like the Bible. So study the

Scriptures voraciously; the Word is your guide to living

victoriously every day in every situation.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for enlightening my spirit through

your Word. I function from the inward man and interpret

life through the Spirit. I walk in the consciousness of who

I am in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE GRACE ADVANTAGE

NOVEMBER 1, 2025

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you

through the knowledge of God, and of

Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

No matter how intelligent you are or how hard you

work, there’s a dimension to real success and

achievement that transcends natural abilities and efforts.

It's called grace. Grace arranges and orchestrates life's

circumstances in your favour.

Grace coordinates how things unfold for you, who

comes in and out of your world, when they arrive, and

for what purpose. It determines how things connect and

align; the people, resources, opportunities etc. When you

understand this, you become truly humble, realizing that

the race isn’t to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong.

Wealth is not to one who’s brilliant, neither is favour to

the learned, but time and chance happen to them all

(Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV).

The apostles understood this. That's why Paul, John,

and Peter often talked about grace. Read their respective

epistles; they often began by saying, "Grace be to you..."

(2 Corinthians 1:2). 2 John 1:3, "Grace be with you,

mercy, and peace, from God the Father...." Also, "...

Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied" (1 Peter 1:2).

They knew what grace could accomplish.

Be conscious of the grace of God. Learn to function

by grace and multiply the grace of God in your life. How

does grace multiply? Peter tells us that it’s through the

knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2). You

can multiply and increase the dimensions and workings

of God’s grace in your life by meditating on the Word and

putting it to work in your life. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the abundance of grace that’s

available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in increased grace,

favour and peace, as I grow in the knowledge of your

Word. Your grace is actively working in my life, producing

supernatural results and aligning all things in my favour.

I walk in excellence, fruitfulness and divine success, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

LIFTING YOUR HANDS TO THE LORD

OCTOBER 31 2025

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as

incense; and the lifting up of my hands

as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2).

When people are asked to lift their hands in

worship during a church service, some respond

mechanically or not at all, often because they haven’t

been trained in spiritual things. If they truly understood

the spiritual significance of lifting their hands to the Lord,

it wouldn’t be a struggle.

Years ago, in some meetings, I made an important

observation: many of those who were healed had been

unable to lift their hands due to pain. This caught my

attention, and I asked the Spirit of God why so many people

had this problem. He said, “I told them to worship with

hands lifted; I instructed that all men pray everywhere lifting

up holy hands, but they wouldn't.” Years later, they found

themselves unable to lift their hands without effort or pain.

The lesson there was this: had they been worshipping

with their hands lifted regularly, as God had instructed, such

limitations wouldn’t have developed. But thank God for His

grace that brought them healing. Never think that lifting

your hands is unnecessary or even embarrassing while

you’re praying or worshipping the Lord. It’s an act of faith,

spiritual responsiveness, and yieldedness to the Spirit.

Even if lifting your hands was a painful effort before

you became a Christian, keep practicing lifting them to

the Lord in worship. By so doing, you’re acting on the

Word. Before long, those same hands will rise higher and

higher, effortlessly and without pain. Hebrews 12:12-13

says, “...lift up the hands which hang down, and the

feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet,

lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but

let it rather be healed.”

Many of God’s children suffer physically, not because

something is inherently wrong but because they neglect

to do what the Word says, and Satan capitalizes on that.

So, learn to act on the Word. Let your spirit train your body

in worship. Keep lifting your hands in praise and you’ll

experience such glory in your life that you never imagined.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege and blessing of

worshipping you with my hands lifted in reverence and in

love. There’s none like you. You’re great and mighty, the

King of all and God of all flesh who alone has immortality

and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has

seen or can see. To you be honour and everlasting power

forever. Amen.

HEIRS OF THE PROMISE

OCTOBER 30 2025

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye

Abraham's seed, and heirs according to

the promise (Galatians 3:29).

In Christ, you’re born God’s heir. All of His wealth

and resources belong to you: “And if children,

then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ...”

(Romans 8:17). The Bible says the silver, gold, precious

stones and the whole world belong to Him: "The silver is

mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts"

(Haggai 2:8).

In Psalm 50:10-12, He said, "For every beast of the

forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild

beasts of the field are mine...for the world is mine, and

the fullness thereof.” Therefore, as an heir of God, and

joint heir with Christ, the silver, the gold, the cattle upon a

thousand hills, the world and the fullness thereof, belong

to you as much as they belong to Him.

See yourself in this light, for this is the truth about your

prosperity. In the same way that the righteousness of God

was imparted to your spirit when you were born again,

prosperity and greatness have been imparted to your

spirit. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of

our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet

for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his

poverty might be rich.” What does this mean?

First, understand that Jesus never became poor

spiritually. So, the scripture we just read is talking about

physical, material, and financial blessings. Jesus became

poor for your sake so that from what He gave up, you might

inherit abundance. Don’t see your job or business as your

source. Live a joyful, prosperous life every day.

You’re the habitation of all of God’s blessings: “Blessed

be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who

hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly

places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). Remember what the

Lord said to Abraham, “...I will bless thee, and make thy

name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis

12:2); and He really did bless Abraham.

Paul revealed in Galatians 3:16 that the promised

blessing wasn’t to Abraham alone but to Abraham and

his seed. That seed is Christ. And we read in our opening

scripture that “...if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's

seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians

3:29). You’re the inheritor of the blessings of Abraham.

Everywhere you go, you carry blessings with you. When

you show up, blessings arrive. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I’m the seed of Abraham, and therefore the possessor and

distributor of divine blessings. Salvation, righteousness,

prosperity, healing, God’s goodness, mercies and grace

flow through me to bless my world! I walk in abundance,

health and success all my days. I’m blessed in all things

and in every way. Blessed be God!

YOUR LIFE—A FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER

 OCTOBER 29 2025

He that believeth on me, as the scripture

hath said, out of his belly shall flow

rivers of living water (John 7:38).

Your life as a Christian, according to God’s design,

is a fountain of living water. Sadly, for some, their

lives are “lakes” because they gather only to ask God for

things. All they ever do is ask and talk about their problems.

But that’s not how it ought to be.

When we come together to pray, worship, and study

the Scriptures, it doesn’t matter that we’re four, five, six or

more; we proclaim the Word. That’s a fountain. The Lord

Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture

hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living

water” (John 7:38).

The rivers of living water are prophetic words of power

and blessings issuing forth from you. Prophecy holds the

key to your future. Recall what God said to Ezekiel in

Ezekiel 37:4-5, “...Prophesy upon these bones, and say

unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I

will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.”

Take charge of your life with the Word of God on your

lips. Don’t wait for somebody else to do it for you. Let the

fountain of living water issue forth from you. Prophesy

about your future. Prophesy to your ministry, your job,

your business and career. Prophesy about your health.

Prophesy to your body. Prophesy to your bones. Prophesy

to your skin and to your blood.

Don't wait for the world to decide what happens to you;

prophesy. Sometimes what you need requires a miracle

and until you prophesy it may never happen. So, use what

God has given you; His Word, the Spirit, and your mouth!

Prophesy. Let gushers of living water, words of life, power,

healing and blessing continuously flow from your innermost

being. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for making me a fountain of living

water. Out of my belly flow rivers of living water; words

of life, power, healing and blessing. I walk in health,

strength, progress, increase, and prosperity, in Jesus’

Name. Amen.

VICTORY OVER THE WORLD

OCTOBER 28 2025

For whatsoever is born of God

overcometh the world: and this is the

victory that overcometh the world, even

our faith (1 John 5:4).

Think about the fact that the verse we just read was

written by the Apostle John. God gave him that

wisdom, that revelation. He wasn't just prophesying; he

was writing about the life that we have in Christ, the life he

and the rest of the apostles lived. This was the mentality

they had. They were raised to think victory only.

They had been with the Lord Jesus and had come to

understand the message of the divine life: whatsoever is

born of God has victory over the world and subdues the

world. This means you have power over the world because

you’re born of God: “Of his own will begat he us with

the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits

of his creatures” (James 1:18).

“But as many as received him, to them gave he

power to become the sons of God, even to them that

believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood,

nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of

God” (John 1:12-13). Because you’re born of God, you’ve

conquered the world. You’ve prevailed over the world. You

didn’t need to make an effort; it happened simply by your

being born of God. Hallelujah!

You’ve conquered the world and its systems and

corrupting influences. Nothing in this world is to your

disadvantage. This must be your way of thinking. You have

to train and see yourself in this light. When the pressures

of life come against you, remember who you are and

affirm that you have power over this world, its pressures,

adversities and decadence. You have power over Satan,

sicknesses, diseases and infirmities. Your faith in Christ

has given you the victory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for my faith that gives me victory

over the world. I refuse to be moved by circumstances. I

live triumphantly and reign victoriously over the systems

of this world, its pressures, adversities, decadence and

corrupting influences by the power of your Spirit and

through the Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE WAY THAT WINS

OCTOBER 27 2025

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the

deeds of the body, ye shall live

(Romans 8:13).

As a Christian, it’s important that you see and

interpret life from the right perspective, which is

the Christ perspective. Don’t interpret life with your senses:

what you can see, hear, feel and touch. Life is spiritual,

and the way that wins is the way of the Spirit and the

Word. You must see life and live it through the Word, not

by assumptions or the theories of men.

When we talk about seeing life through the lens of

the Word, it means everything you know and believe is

consistent with the provisions of the Gospel of Jesus

Christ. The Gospel is the Word of God concerning Jesus

Christ, who He is and His mission, and His life in us today.

He brought us the Kingdom-life, a higher life with higher

principles. He completely baffled sense knowledge.

For example, He said, “...Love your enemies, bless

them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,

and pray for them which despitefully use you, and

persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). That's not how the world

relates. Moses said, “An eye for an eye,” but the Lord Jesus

came with a new way to live.

The Bible says the Law came by Moses, but grace

and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17). He came

to reveal to us the life and nature of God, the way God

thinks, the way that wins. This also applies to your health

and well-being.

The world may endorse fear, disease and uncertainty,

but the Gospel assures us of divine health: “Beloved, I

wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and

be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2).

If you ever feel symptoms in your body, don’t panic. Look

through the Word. See from the Gospel perspective: divine

health is your inheritance. Glory to God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for giving me your Word by which

I live in victory and dominion. I see from the Gospel’s

perspective and walk in your light always. I refuse to fear

or accept any outcome that’s contrary to your Word. I

walk in love, I live in divine health and strength, and I

flourish every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE WISDOM OF THE RIGHTEOUS

OCTOBER 26 2025

And he shall go before him in the spirit

and power of Elias, to turn the hearts

of the fathers to the children, and the

disobedient to the wisdom of the just;

to make ready a people prepared for the

Lord (Luke 1:17).

Notice the word “disobedient” in the verse above;

it refers to the negative of being obedient. That’s

the original Greek connotation. It means one who can’t

be persuaded, one who is headstrong and deliberately

chooses to go in the wrong direction, and there’re people

like that in life.

Such people are unyielding even when they know

the truth. They don’t submit to the Word of God, and the

Word of God is the wisdom of God. So, the Bible says their

hearts have to be turned to the wisdom of the just. This

means that the wisdom of the just is yielding to the Word.

The wisdom of the just is persuadable.

Recall what the Bible says about the children of Israel

in the Old Testament: they couldn’t enter into God’s rest

because of their unpersuadableness. But the wisdom of the

just is easily convinced by the Word of God; it willingly and

gladly accepts the Word. It’s quick to make adjustments

on the basis of the Word.

God wants the hearts of the disobedient to be turned

to the wisdom of the just. It’s called “phronesis” (Greek).

That’s the highest kind of wisdom; when you’re swayed by

the Word and allow it to shape your life and every decision

you make. It doesn't matter how something appears; you

only go with what the Word says. You’re living in conformity

to the Word. That’s the wisdom of the just. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom of the just that

works in me. My heart is ever open and responsive to

your Word. I’m persuaded by your truth and governed by

your love. Your wisdom propels me to walk in the paths

of righteousness and live daily in alignment with your

perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

GOD’S WISDOM WORKING THROUGH YOU

OCTOBER 25 2025

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of

God is made unto us wisdom...

(1 Corinthians 1:30).

One of the most glorious truths of the Gospel is

that Christ has been made unto us wisdom. This

means we have access to divine insight, understanding,

and direction in all things. We’re not searching for wisdom;

Christ is our wisdom. It’s the reason we can decode

mysteries; we have insight into the secrets and realities

of life.

There’s nothing you can’t comprehend or mentally put

together. The will of God is unveiled to your spirit because

Christ is your wisdom. The Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit

of wisdom, lives in you, and He causes you to excel. No

wonder the prayer of the Spirit through the Apostle Paul

in Colossians 1:9 that you be filled with the knowledge

of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Blessed be God!

This is your life as a child of God. When you make

decisions, they’re by God’s wisdom and righteousness;

they’re not speculative or uncertain but accurate, producing

results that glorify God because you function with divine

wisdom. This wisdom shows up in how you speak, how

you solve problems, how you relate with others, and in

your walk with God. You love and do His Word.

This was how the Lord Jesus lived. The Bible tells us

He grew in wisdom and in favour with God and man (Luke

2:52). He always knew what to do, what to say, and how

to act. That same wisdom is now at work in you. The more

you yield to the Word and the Holy Spirit, the more that

wisdom finds expression through you. With this wisdom,

you walk with precision and purpose, fulfilling God’s perfect

will for your life.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your glory in my life and

for making Christ my wisdom. I walk in divine insight,

supernatural understanding and perfect judgment. I’m

never confused or uncertain. I always know what to do

because your wisdom is active and effective in me, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FOCUS ON THE WORD

 OCTOBER 24 2025

In the beginning God created the heaven

and the earth. 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.

And God said, Let there be light: and

there was light (Genesis 1:1-3).

If you want to see supernatural things happen in your

life, focus on the Word. The Word of God created

the whole world and the entire universe. God manifests

Himself in different ways and one of those extraordinary

ways is the Word. He manifests Himself in and through

the Word. Where the Word of God is, God is.

The Word of God is not like the word of a man; the

Word of God is life. The Word of God is power. The Word

of God is light. The Word of God is truth. The Word of

God is God. If you centre your mind on the Word, you're

centring your mind on God. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt

keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on

thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

How do you stay or keep your mind on Him? It’s by

staying your mind on His Word, meditating on the Word. It

doesn’t matter what you face in life; let God be all you see.

That means see the Word; have the Word on your mind.

When you have the Word of God on your mind, you're in

for the supernatural. The Word is where the supernatural

power of God is.

It’s the reason the Holy Spirit never does anything

without the Word. In Genesis 1, the Bible says in the

beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. But the

earth was without form, and darkness covered the face of

the deep. Then it says, the Spirit of God moved over the

face of the waters but nothing changed. The darkness

was still there, the chaos was still there, until the Word

was given.

The Bible says, “And God said, let there be light, and

light became” (Genesis 1:3). The Spirit of God caused the

light to come into being only after God spoke. It shows the

power and importance of God’s Word. You must focus on

the Word. Speak it forth. Until the Word is given, the Spirit

of God does nothing. So, to experience great things in your

life as an individual and live transcendently as the Lord

has ordained for you, live by the Word of God.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the power and integrity of

your Word. I centre my heart and mind on the Word,

and I’m full of peace. Your Word produces in me what it

talks about; I see only possibilities, walk in excellence,

victory and dominion, because your Word is my life, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

WORK THE WORD

OCTOBER 23 2025

Wherefore, my beloved... work out your

own salvation with fear and trembling

(Philippians 2:12).

In Christianity, that you’re born again doesn’t

automatically mean you’ll live like a true Christian

or experience the results of the Christian life. It doesn’t

mean things will automatically start happening of their own

accord; no! You have to make them happen. You have to

work out your salvation. That means you have to put your

faith to work; you have to practise the Word of God.

It’s the doer of the Word that experiences the blessings

of salvation: “But be ye doers of the word, and not

hearers only, deceiving your own selves. But whoso

looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth

therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer

of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed”

(James 1:22 & 25).

You have a life that’s superior to Satan, sickness,

disease and infirmities—the divine life. You’re an associate

of the God-kind: “Whereby are given unto us exceeding

great and precious promises: that by these ye might

be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the

corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter

1:4). You hail from God: “Ye are of God, little children,

and have overcome them: because greater is he that

is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Your origin is in God, and He lives in you. You must

superimpose these realities upon the circumstances of life.

That’s where your knowledge of the Word and meditation

comes in. You have to know and meditate on the Word

for yourself. Through meditation, the realities in the Word

and the truths within your spirit are brought into your

consciousness. They become real and tangible to you.

Also, through conscious meditation on the Word, you

make your way prosperous, create your victories, and deal

wisely in the affairs of life: “This Book of the Law shall not

depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it

day and night, that you may observe and do according

to all that is written in it; For then you shall make your

way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and

have good success” (Joshua 1:8 AMPC).

There you have it: your glorious and prosperous life

isn’t up to God but up to you. He’s given you His Word

which is what you need to live supremely blessed, walk in

dominion and enjoy the full benefits of salvation. But you

must work the Word; act on it to produce in and for you

what it talks about.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the divine life you've given

me. I live in the consciousness of who I am in Christ. I

superimpose your Word over my thoughts, my body, and

my daily circumstances. I walk in divine health, peace

and victory every day because I live from the awareness

of your indwelling presence and the power of the Spirit

in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

YOUR WORDS ARE YOUR PERSON

OCTOBER 22 2025

A good man out of the good treasure

of his heart bringeth forth that which

is good; and an evil man out of the evil

treasure of his heart bringeth forth that

which is evil: for of the abundance of the

heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).

Did you know that the best part of your personality

is your words? The greatest gift given to us

naturally by God is the ability to talk. That’s because your

words are your person; your words are you. The character

of your words is the character of your personality. You’re

not different from your words. If your spirit is excellent,

your words will be.

In emphasizing this, the Lord Jesus said, “Either

make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make

the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is

known by his fruit...for out of the abundance of the

heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good

treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and

an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil

things” (Matthew 12:33-35). Notice what the Lord said;

the words that come out of you are from your heart, from

your spirit. And your spirit is the real you.

Proverbs 23:7 says, "as he thinks in his heart so is

he." In other words, you’re not different from your thoughts

and words are thoughts clothed with vocabulary. So, your

life as it is today is the image of what your words created

months or years ago. And your life in the next few months

or years is what you create now with your words. That’s

how important words are.

PRAYER

Righteous Father, I thank you for the gift of speech and

the ability to manifest your grace through my words.

My words are filled with wisdom as they spring forth

from the treasures of your Kingdom in my heart. I speak

excellence, purity and truth. My words reveal your

righteousness, shaping my glorious life and destiny in

you. Amen.

HOLY EXPRESSIONS OF WORSHIP

OCTOBER 21 2025

God is a Spirit: and they that worship

him must worship him in spirit and in

truth (John 4:24).

God is a Spirit, and the Bible says those who

worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in

truth. However, there’re certain things you do physically

that help you activate your spirit.

For example, when you consciously and deliberately

kneel in prayer, it causes your spirit to be immediately

activated for prayer. That’s why He told you to do it,

because immediately, you're moved from your mental state

into a spiritual state, fulfilling the Scriptures. Psalm 95:6

says, “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us

kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Daniel also knelt in prayer: “Now when Daniel knew

that the writing was signed, he went into his house

and... he kneeled upon his knees three times a day,

and prayed...” (Daniel 6:10). Even the Lord Jesus knelt

down to pray: “And he was withdrawn from them about

a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed” (Luke

22:41).

The same thing happens when you lift your hands in

prayer, adoration, praise and worship to the Lord. These

physical actions draw you from the natural into the spiritual.

They are holy expressions of reverence, adulation and

worship. The Bible says, “I will therefore that men pray

every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and

doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8).

King Solomon lifted his hands when he dedicated the

temple: “And it was so, that when Solomon had made

an end of praying all this prayer... he arose from before

the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with

his hands spread up to heaven” (1 Kings 8:54). These

examples show us the importance and spirituality of certain

reverential actions, even though they’re physical.

Never take these spiritual postures lightly. They help

shift your focus from the distractions of the flesh to the

realities of the Spirit. They help you make contact with

your spirit, and you’re stirred and awakened to deeper

fellowship with the Lord. Recall the words of the Psalmist,

“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice”

(Psalm 141:2). Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for teaching me to worship you

in spirit and in truth. I yield my body as an instrument

of righteousness, aligning it with my spirit in worship,

prayer and adoration. As I lift my hands and bow my

knees, my spirit is stirred and awakened to deeper

fellowship with you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ETERNAL REMISSION

 OCTOBER 20 2025

In whom we have redemption through his

blood, the forgiveness of sins, according

to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7).

Did you know the Bible doesn’t actually instruct us

to ask God for forgiveness? More so, God didn’t

even make provision for your forgiveness in the way most

people think. Rather, He did something far greater; He

gave us remission.

Forgiveness means to pardon. That is, the wrongs

or sins that the offender committed remain on record, but

he or she is no longer held accountable or punished for

them. This is how men forgive. But that’s not what God

did in Christ Jesus. The New Testament introduces us to

the greater reality of remission.

1 John 1:9 says, “...he is faithful and just to forgive

us our sins....” But the Greek word translated forgive

there is actually “aphiēmi,” which is from “aphesis.” This

word does not primarily mean “pardon.” Instead, it means

“to send away,” “to take away completely,” or “to separate

from.” That’s remission, not forgiveness. God didn’t leave

your sins on record and then pardon you. No! He removed

them completely; they were taken away, blotted out.

This is why we don’t keep asking God to forgive us.

In Christ, our sins were remitted; they were washed away,

not covered up. The death, burial, and resurrection of

Jesus provided full payment for sin, resulting in your total

justification.

Some quote verses from Matthew, Mark or Luke, to

justify a forgiveness-based mentality. Jesus’ teachings in

those gospels were to a people still under the old covenant

before His death and resurrection. But now, we’re new

creatures in Christ, and God has no record of your sin:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:

old things are passed away; behold, all things are

become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). You’ve been cleansed,

justified and sanctified. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the eternal remission of

sins I have in Christ Jesus. I walk in the light of my

righteousness, knowing that sin and its attendant effects

have no dominion over me. I live boldly and confidently,

enjoying unhindered fellowship with you, in Jesus' Name.

Amen.

RESPOND PROMPTLY TO HIS VOICE

 OCTOBER 19 2025

Harden not your hearts, as in the

provocation, in the day of temptation in

the wilderness (Hebrews 3:8).

Cultivating a very rich and focused relationship

with the Holy Spirit is essential for your spiritual

growth and maturity. The Holy Spirit lives in you; He guides

and leads you into all truth. Recognizing His voice and

responding appropriately would transform your walk with

Him and help you fulfil His purpose for your life gloriously.

Maybe you’ve been out talking with someone, and

afterwards, the Holy Spirit says to you, “You talked too

much today. You shouldn’t have said the things you said.”

Don’t brush it off, thinking it’s just your mind. Take that

simple correction seriously and thank Him for it. That way,

you’re encouraging His ministry in your life.

Some ignore His promptings and get into trouble

eventually. But His desire is always to help you avert every

danger that might be lurking ahead. Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)

says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your

ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the

way; walk in it.” Today, that voice is not behind you; it’s

inside you.

When you hear His voice within you telling you what

you should do or not do, act swiftly. Train yourself to

recognize and respond to His voice. It’s easy to know His

voice because He gives you guidance and direction in line

with the Word. Everything He tells you sides with the Word.

Sadly, some continue to resist and ignore His voice.

The result of that is stagnation and failure. Month after

month, they remain the same, stuck in a cycle without

progress, immature in their spiritual walk. Spiritual maturity

is marked by sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

Mature Christians yield quickly to His correction and

instruction. They understand that the Spirit’s guidance

is vital for effective Christian living and spiritual growth.

Therefore, they respond quickly to His guidance and voice

with humility. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for giving me a heart that’s

sensitive to your Word and to your voice. Through the

guidance and promptings of the Holy Spirit, I live an

excellent life that’s fully pleasing to you as I fulfil my

destiny in Christ. Your wisdom fills my heart, and your

love flows freely through me as I walk in sync with the

Spirit, growing in maturity, grace and purpose, in Jesus’

Name. Amen.

YOUR WORDS ARE ALIVE

OCTOBER 18 2025

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh

profiteth nothing: the words that I speak

unto you, they are spirit, and they are

life (John 6:63).

The words you speak are not empty; they don’t just

go away; they live on. Don't think the last thing

you said ended when you said it. Every word that comes

out of your mouth is alive in the spirit-realm. The only way

to repel or counter already spoken words is by speaking

words that are opposite and more powerful. Words are

things; they have energy and tangibility.

This should make you put a premium on words. Never

say what you don’t mean or don’t want to happen. Never

speak negatively because the principle is simple but

spiritual: you shall have what you say. The Lord Jesus said

so: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say

unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast

into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall

believe that those things which he saith shall come to

pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23).

It’s for the same reason He tells us not to speak idle,

inoperative words: “But I say unto you, That every idle

word that men shall speak, they shall give account

thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou

shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be

condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37). Idle words are useless

words, words you speak that don't mean anything. He says

you’ll be held accountable for speaking such words.

Remember, you’re made in the image and likeness of

God, and what did the Master say about Himself? He said,

“...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and

they are life” (John 6:63). He put a premium on words.

The difference between the words of the Lord Jesus and

the words of any other person is that He spoke life. He

gave us an example to follow.

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the

power of the tongue....” Speak only life and everything

in your life and environment will live. Speak life to your

business, your finances, your body, your children, and

to everything around you. Remember, your words never

die; they’re living and active; they determine the course or

direction of your life. Whether you're going to be a success

or a failure is all in your mouth.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for teaching me the power of

words. My words are full of life, power and faith. I speak

only what I desire to see. I speak life to my body, progress

to my work, growth to my finances, and peace to my

environment. Thank you for making my tongue a tree of

life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BEING BORN AGAIN— A SPIRITUAL REALITY

OCTOBER 17 2025

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is

a new creature: old things are passed

away; behold, all things are become new

(2 Corinthians 5:17).

Once, a respected Jewish teacher, Nicodemus by

name, came to see the Lord Jesus. He was a ruler

among the Jews, but despite his religiosity, something was

missing. The Master looked at him and made a profound

statement that cut through all his religious knowledge and

rituals: “...Except a man be born again, he cannot see

the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

Nicodemus, somewhat flustered, asked, “How can a

man be born when he is old?” But the Lord Jesus wasn’t

speaking of physical birth; He was revealing a deep

spiritual truth. Being born again isn’t a mere religious cliché

or phenomenon but a spiritual reality. It means receiving a

brand-new life, the life and nature of God Himself.

When you were born again, you weren’t brought into a

religion; there was a supernatural transformation. It was an

actual rebirth. Your human life was supplanted by the divine

life at the new birth. Something actually took place in the

spirit; you were brought from death into life and immortality:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,

and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,

and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed

from death unto life” (John 5:24).

Now that you’re born again, you’re born of the Word

by the Spirit of the Lord: “That which is born of the flesh

is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again”

(John 3:6-7). 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not

of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word

of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

The Bible also says in John 1:12-13, “But as many

as received him, to them gave he power to become

the sons of God, even to them that believe on his

name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will

of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” This is

what it means to be born again; you’re literally and vitally

born of God, with His life and nature in your spirit. You’re

taxonomically different from the non-Christians. As Jesus

is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the supernatural life of Christ

that’s now at work in me. I’m born of the incorruptible

Word, which lives and abides forever; I’m not an ordinary

person. I’m a new creation, born of your Word and your

Spirit. I live the higher life, full of glory and righteousness.

I walk in victory every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

 OCTOBER 16

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ

Jesus hath made me free from the law

of sin and death (Romans 8:2).

In 1 John 3:4, the Apostle John writes, "Whosoever

committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for

sin is the transgression of the law." But then, Paul in 1

Timothy 1:9 tells us, "Knowing this that the law is not

made for a righteous man;” and we are the righteous.

It then gives rise to the question, “As Christians, are we

under any law at all?”

Yes, we are, but it’s a different kind of law. It’s not the

law of Moses. It’s not the law of sin and death. It’s the law

of the Spirit of life. That’s what the Apostle James called the

perfect law of liberty in James 1:25: “But whoso looketh

into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,

he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,

this man shall be blessed in his deed.”

That phrase “perfect law of liberty” is an interesting

play of words. Law typically implies restriction, yet here

it produces liberty. This law works inside us to cancel the

restrictions or inhibitions from Satan. For example, when

sickness attacks the body, it’s a corruption or an inhibition

of the person’s health. But thanks be unto God, the Bible

says the Lord Jesus Christ abolished death and brought

life and immortality to light” (2 Timothy 1:10). Hallelujah!

Being born again, you have eternal life, and eternal life

doesn’t require healing. Therefore, it doesn’t matter what

attacks your body; if you’d stir up the life of God in your

spirit, your whole body will be vitalized. The Bible says, “If

the Spirit of Him that raised up Christ from the dead lives

in you, He’ll vitalize your body” (Romans 8:11).

The Holy Spirit in you is life-generating. Whereas

everything in the natural world degenerates, life works in

you and in everything that’s connected to you because

you’re in the realm of life. You’ve passed from death to life

(John 5:24). Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the perfect law of liberty by

which I live and function. I walk in the liberty of the Spirit,

free from every limitation and empowered to execute

your will. I declare that your purpose is fulfilled in and

through me, and I bring forth your righteousness in all I

do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
