Proverbs 13:22 (KJV)

But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

God's desire is for His children to prosper. Jesus became poor, so that we, through His poverty, can be made rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). The days when Christians were persecuted by fellow Christians for owning a bicycle, were days the children of God walked in error.

The Lord said through the Prophet in Zechariah 1:17, “My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad.” The Gospel can only spread effectively when God’s children become rich. God is orchestrating a wealth transfer in these end times not only for you to be rich but to finance the Kingdom.

Poverty doesn't reflect the glory of God and hence shouldn't be celebrated. In this Year of Strange Oil, refuse to be poor. Be like Jacob (Genesis 31:1) of whom it was said, "Jacob has taken all that was our fathers."

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, prosper me for Kingdom purpose. Deliver me from lack, position me for increase, and let wealth flow into my hands to advance the Gospel and establish Your glory through my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I refuse to be poor! God is raising me out of the dust, and lifting me up from the dunghill, and setting me among the princes. I have a beautiful and glorious inheritance in Christ. Hallelujah!

Proverbs 21:18 (KJV)

The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

The devil puts God’s children in a corner, trying to convince them they’ve reached their demise. God in His infinite wisdom always makes a way of escape. Jesus was taken to the edge of the mountain cliff to be thrown to his doom, but walked right through the crowd and gave them the slip (Luke 4:29-30).

It doesn't matter who is planning your downfall; what matters most is who is on your side. Haman sought to destroy the Jews, yet he was hanged upon his very own gallows. The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous! Whether it's an accident, demotion, death, divorce, misfortune or prison targeting any area of your life in this season, God is turning it around for your good. This is the Year of Strange Oil; you will go your way without the enemy noticing.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for divine escape and protection. Turn every plan of the enemy against itself, and cause me to walk through every trap untouched, preserved by the Greater One in me.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am as slippery as Jesus was when He walked the Earth. No evil can prevail over my life because the Greater One lives in me. Amen.

Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

The first thing the white settlers did when they colonised Africa was to change the language and culture of the colonised people to that of the dominating power. God functions in the same manner. When the Holy Ghost came, Jesus’ followers were all filled with the Spirit and began to speak in other tongues. The desire of both God and the devil is to establish and exert control over a person.

The day one receives salvation is the day they are removed from the kingdom of darkness and brought out of sin, sickness, depression, and poverty into God’s kingdom of light.

We are empowered to function like God on Earth; as He is, so are we in this World. We reign and rule together with Christ.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, thank You that I have been delivered from darkness and translated into Your Kingdom. Let Heaven’s culture and power govern my life, and cause me to reign with Christ in every area.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The devil and his cohorts have no authority over my life. I am anchored by the systems of God; therefore, I cannot be sick or fail in this life.
