“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.” Acts 16:25-26

Prayer is not getting God to do your will; prayer is getting you ready to do His will.

In today’s Scripture, notice that if Paul and Silas had the kind of prayer life where they were going to talk to God about what they wanted, they would have said, “Lord, set us free!” Instead of asking God why they wound up in this difficult circumstance or asking Him to get them out of it, they were giving God thanks and praise. Even though they were still in prison, they recognized that He was still on the throne.

And even though they didn’t necessarily understand why He allowed them to be put in prison, they believed that He was the God who could deliver them. Which is why at midnight they were singing hymns of praise to God; and suddenly, they were set free.

Paul and Silas prayers doesn’t mean they began to pray at midnight, but rather that they were still praying at midnight, having began some time earlier. Their song was probably one of the Psalms. It means they prayed and sang so loud that other prisoners heard them and something supernatural happen.

When you start talking to the King about who He is, about what He’s done, and about what He’s going to do, it means you’re willing to trust Him right where you are. And when you do that, all of a sudden, heaven and earth begin to move, the glory of God fills your life with power, chains of addiction are broken, and captives are set free.

LET’S PRAY
May you live today knowing that the coming of Jesus Christ is imminent, and we are prepared. Through the shed blood of the cross, our sins are forgiven. We are on our way to heaven to live forever in the peace, the love, and the joy that only the righteous can know in Jesus’ glorious name! Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life

“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23

Anyone who denies in any fashion Who Jesus is and What He has done to Redeem humanity is a”liar.” He who denies the Trinity is Antichrist. God the Father and God the Son are represented here, and it is the Holy Spirit Who inspires the Text. So we have here the Trinity. No matter the claims, if Jesus is denied, so is the Father: if the Son is accepted, the Father is as well, for the Son is the only way to the Father.

In today’s verse, the apostle John has harsh words for anyone who denies the Father and the Son, for anyone who rejects Jesus as the Christ. He declares that person antichrist – not the Antichrist, as the man who will rise up against God in Revelation – but one who exhibits a spirit that rejects God and His plan.

John goes on to say that the spirit of the Antichrist already abounds in the world around us (I John 4:2-3).

When the Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing, and we fly through our days without giving Him a thought, how deep is this relationship that we claim? When we stand against His instructions, when we deny what He requests, isn’t this, in essence, against Christ? When we know right, and we do not choose to do right, it is antichrist.

We can easily point an accusing finger at the spirit of Antichrist in the culture all around us, but every time we choose to fall back on comfort rather than take a stand for conviction, the antichrist attitude wins. Every time we excuse corruption rather than speak against it, every time we soften the message of the Gospel rather than proclaim it unashamedly, antichrist wins. When we hide His light, when we do not stand in the day of evil, when we are more concerned with public opinion than honoring God, we bow to the antichrist attitude.

If we are for Him, if we are on His side, let us cast off our lukewarm lives. Let us fully embrace all that He requires. Let us deny ourselves, choose to sacrifice our will for His, and embrace the responsibilities, as well as the rights, of a life hidden in Christ. We are for Him.

LET’S PRAY
Heavenly Father, forgive me for the subtle ways that I have allowed an antichrist attitude to grow in me. Expel that spirit from my thoughts – transform my mind. Expel it from my actions – conform me to Your will. O Lord, give me strength to stand against it and to always stand firmly in You and for You in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than they who watch for the morning: l say, more than they who watch for the morning” Psalm 130:5-6

This is a faith that waits “on” God and that waits “for” God. Saul was willing to wait “on” God, but not to wait “for” God, and so he lost the Kingdom.

God’s Word is Incorruptible, infallible, inerrant. Scholars have dissected and debated it for centuries. Men and women were beheaded, exiled, burned at the stake, banished from their homelands, and labeled heretics so we may have the privilege of studying this sacred Scripture.

This Word has withstood the flames of the trial; it has been tried and been found true. Cynics have mocked it for centuries, but it has silenced its scoffers. It has been debated in classrooms, diluted in pulpits, and misused by scheming men. For all of the abuse leveled at it, the Word of God endures. It is sharper than a two-edged sword. Like a surgeon’s scalpel, it cuts through everything – all of our doubt and defenses – to open us up to believe and receive what God says. It exposes and sifts, analyzes and judges the very thoughts and purposes of our hearts. No one is impervious to its truth. We cannot escape its reach (Hebrews 4:12).

When we absorb it, this Word comes to abide in us. It takes root in our hearts to make us strong (I John 2:14). It establishes and steadies. The Psalmist declared that God’s words were sweeter than honey (Psalm 119:103). Jeremiah devoured the words of the Lord and declared them a joy and a delight (Jeremiah 15:16). Job said that he treasured God’s word like his daily bread (Job 23:12).

Isaiah assured us that the grass may wither, and the flower may fade, but the Word of the Lord endures forever (Isaiah 40:8). It will stand for eternity. Every jot, every tittle, every comma, every period, every letter, every line, every word – all will be fulfilled in Christ. No deception can be found in its pages.

Like Job, hunger after God’s words like the food that is necessary for life itself. Like Jeremiah, gobble them up. Take joy in all the discoveries and the mysteries that you unravel. Find the character and the promises of God in His Word. Allow its truth to become the bedrock foundation of your life. Allow that truth to transform your mind, your heart, and your very life.

LET’S PRAY.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the treasure of Your Word. Help me to discipline myself to make it a daily priority to feed on Your Word. Open the eyes of my understanding as I read it and help me to hide it in my heart, to memorize and meditate on it. Fill me up with confidence, conviction, and the TRUTH that is found in You in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

The reality of this Christian life, as the hymn proclaims, is “joy unspeakable, full of glory,” and “the half has never yet been told!” Because Christ lives in us, we overflow with His life. This present life is not the one we once endured, but a sins-washed-away, guilt-free, arms-wide-open, I’m-a-brand-new creation kind of life. All the old has gone, and His life has flooded in to fill every nook and cranny with lavish love, perennial peace, and jubilant joy. We should radiate that life.

Jesus proclaimed Himself the life (John 14:6). He brings His great big presence to so fill our hearts that it must spill out into our lives. Paul pointed out that “…in Him we live and move and have our being…” (Acts 17:28). Amazingly enough, He lives in us, moves on us, and works through us.

No matter the circumstances around us, the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Too many of us are living a “someday out there” life. When things get better or when we get through this rough patch or when we all get to heaven, “someday out there,” we will live our best lives. This is a right-now kind of salvation! This is the in-the-moment life of Jesus working on the inside. When the clouds open over our heads, pop up the umbrella of joy, and dance in the rain. Under His protection and provision, we still live with gladness and contentment. Jesus inside of us brings all that He is to bear on all that we experience.

With that Life comes power. Power to live with joy. Power to live with peace. Power to live with laughter. Power to live with self-control. Power to live with hope. Dynamite power on the inside of us – impacting our families, our communities, and our world.

Jesus Christ is alive. The King of kings, the Lamb of God slain, conquered death, hell, and the grave to bring life everlasting. No need to wait and see. No need to postpone. He is alive. He is life. And He lives in us. We are filled with Life, full of life, and carrying that Life to the world. Live!

LET’S PRAY.
O Lord, thank You for bringing all that You are to fill up my heart and my life. Let me live my best life beginning right now. Let me live with joy and radiate all this Life inside of me to everyone I meet today. All of me for all of You in the glorious name of Jesus Christ l pray. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain!!!

“He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength. You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded.”
Daniel 2:22 – 23

Nebuchadnezzar, the temperamental king of Babylon, had conquered and proceeded to rule Israel. Not only had he carried her leaders into captivity, but he had also audaciously marched into the Temple and stolen all its gold, silver, and artifacts of worship.

One night, a troubling dream prompted him to call for all of his magicians, sorcerers, and astrologers. He issued a shockingly impossible challenge – not only should they interpret his dream, but they must tell him what he had dreamed! If they failed to accomplish this feat, he would kill them and reduce their homes to ash heaps.

Hearing the ultimatum, the prophet Daniel went to Nebuchadnezzar and asked for time to perceive the dream and its interpretation. He enlisted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to pray with him. In a night vision, Daniel received his answer. He awoke and worshipped God before he hurried off to talk with Nebuchadnezzar.

If you are facing an impossible situation today and need to hear from our omniscient Father, always take the time to seek His face. Always take the time to ask other believers to join you in fervent prayer. And when He hears your petition and responds from heaven, remember to always take the time to bless His name.

LET’S PRAY
May our Heavenly Father meet you in the secret place and reveal the answers for which you pray. May He promote you and fill you with His wisdom and might! The word of God says, I will go before thee and make the crooked places Straight. I Will Break In Pieces The Gates Of Brass And Cut In Sunder The Bars Of Iron. Isaiah 45:2. As you begin the journey of a new day, Every benefits that this day is loaded with will not elude you. Your expectations will not be cut off, and the grace to always be ahead of your enemies farther than before is on you from now onwards. You will not be, and can not be stopped, because the Lord is ahead of you. According to the word of God, I say peace be unto you, your households and all that pertains unto you. The Lord Jesus, who is the Prince of peace will clothe you with peace as unto a garment. Peace in your body, peace in your soul, peace in your spirit. Nothing will rob you of your peace this day and forever in Jesus Mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they who love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:20 – 21

Our words carry weight. One careless remark can open a wound that lasts a lifetime. One sincere compliment can restore hope.

Today’s verse is telling us that, if the “fruit of the mouth” and the “increase of the lips” be Heavenly, then there is inward contentment; if not, then there is in desolation. Christians who constantly talk doubt, in effect, talk “death.” Those who speak the Word of God speak “life”

We impact the direction of our children’s lives when we speak life and blessing over them. When we tell them of the good that they can do – instead of constantly focusing on the negative – they wake up to the possibilities of God in their lives.

Throughout the Bible, we see the power of blessing. Abraham blessed Isaac who blessed his son, Jacob. When he blessed his twelve sons, his words shaped their destinies and the future of Israel.

When Jacob laid his hand upon each son, those young men were not yet mighty or distinct in any way. However, the words that Jacob spoke in heavenly places were brought into their lives for the unfolding of God’s plan.

We have the power and the privilege to speak words like “I see great potential in you,” “I see a great leader in you,” “You are a difference maker,” “You are a world changer,” or “I see someone who is going to do amazing things.” Those blessings breathe affirmation and hope into our children’s hearts. It makes them stand taller and walk straighter. No matter their ages, never underestimate the power of speaking a blessing over your children.

LET’S PRAY.
May the words that you speak always be filled with the light and life of God to benefit and bless others. This morning Lord, I bless your name for all the battle you are fighting for us, thank you for another day.
I pray this morning my Lord, let all the blessings confiscated by ancestral spirit, satanic agent, witchcraft spirit, principalities, rulers of darkness, evil powers and all spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places be released now, we recover all our blessing back in the name of Jesus Christ.
Every stronghold in your life, stopping good things must perish today in Jesus mighty name. Go and prosper today in Jesus name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

Your eternal word, O  Lord, stands firm in heaven. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans. Psalms 119:89 – 91

Where do we turn in uncertain times? When life as we once knew it is no more, where do we look for stability and truth?

For the child of God, the Word of God has always been the place to turn. In its pages, we find God’s promises. It steadies our anxious hearts. It replaces fear with faith. It reminds us of the One Who swore to never leave us, that He would be our Defender.

In spite of how shaky the world may seem today, we can be certain that God Almighty still presides from His throne. Even though people may plot and plan and scheme, God will have His way (Proverbs 19:21).

We can be certain that He will provide for our every need (Philippians 4:19). He will do exceedingly abundantly above what we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). The all-sufficient One is more than able!

We can be certain that He will protect us. He has given His angels charge over us. No evil can come near us, and no plague can get through our door when God is our refuge (Psalm 91).

His goodness and mercy will follow us – chase us down – all the days of our lives, and we will dwell safely in His arms forever (Psalm 23). Allow His Word to settle your heart once and for all!

LET’S PRAY.
As the word of the Lord is settled in heaven, may it forever be established in your heart. May all doubt be replaced with divine confidence.
That evil altar of darkness, where they have tendered your money, your picture, mentioned your name or your family name, to summon your destiny, your glory, your marital life, your finances, your promotion, your job, your blessings into captivity, that altar, may Holy Ghost fire destroy them now in the mighty name of Jesus! You are blessed and highly favored. Your God shall fight for you and give you peace and happiness in Jesus mighty name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

“During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever. That is the meaning of the rock cut from the mountain, though not by human hands, that crushed to pieces the statue of iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God was showing the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its meaning is certain.” Daniel 2:44 – 45

When King Nebuchadnezzar experienced a troubling dream, Daniel assured him that there is a God in heaven Who reveals secrets, and He was pulling back the curtain to reveal events in the last days (Daniel 2:28).

Daniel used the words “splendor,” “excellent,” and “awesome” to describe the image in the dream – a statue with a head of gold, arms and a chest of silver, loins, and thighs of bronze, legs of iron, and toes of iron and clay.

Nebuchadnezzar’s dream speaks to us today. The head of gold represented the Babylonian king whose global empire held power for almost 50 years. Afterward, an inferior kingdom seized power. The Persians and Medes, represented by the two arms and chest of silver, ruled for almost 200 years. Silver is a harder metal than gold, and each kingdom became harsher and more vicious than the one before.

The bronze midsection represents the Greek Empire that began under Alexander the Great and endured for over 250 years. We transition to the two legs of iron that signify the Roman Empire that came to power 63 years before Jesus was born and ruled for over 300 years after His death.

Finally, Daniel predicts an unstable kingdom represented by toes made of iron and clay. This kingdom displays a strange mix of strength and weakness, interconnection, and division. Compare it to our current culture – globally connected and yet, so at odds. Every word was fulfilled as Daniel predicted – certain and sure. And now… we await a kingdom with no end.

LET’S PRAY.
Look up! Redemption draws near! May you be found watching and waiting to welcome the King of kings. I pray every secret of your enemies shall be revealed to you in Jesus mighty name, God shall disgrace them openly today in the name of Jesus. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. James 5:17 – 18

Elijah and Elisha were two men who served God and made every day count When the whole world opposed them, they believed in the One Who called them. They shaped the world for the glory of God.

One day, as they walked along shoulder to shoulder, a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah was caught up to heaven in a whirlwind (II Kings 2:11). Elisha was left staring forlornly into the sky.

He must have thought, “Without this great prophet, what will become of us now?” We easily succumb to similar thoughts. When God moves powerfully in the life of one individual, we begin to believe that, as long as that person breathes, God can work.

But God is no respecter of persons; He displays no partiality. He has purposes for each one of us. As James points out, Elijah was a human being with the same kind of nature that we possess. And when he prayed earnestly, God answered.

Elijah was just like you and me. Like him, we can make every moment count. Like him, our prayers are powerful and effective. Like him, we can impact this world with the glory of God.

LET’S PRAY.
This morning, l pray you will do even greater works than the miracles that Jesus performed when you believe in Him. May you make every moment count to the glory of Jesus Christ! Praise be to Almighty God, for His mercy and favor that we have seen today, I pray we will see the end of the year too in Jesus glorious name.
I pray all your blessing that had been stole by the enemies, you will recover all in the name of JESUS. May the Resurrection power of Jesus scatter every evil conspiracy and power holding unto your breakthrough in Jesus name. l decree all your sorrows shall be taken away today in Jesus mighty name.
You shall laugh and songs of joy will fill your mouth today in the name of JESUS mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much. I am insignificant and despised, but I don’t forget your commandments. Psalms 119:140 – 141

Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was a leper. He was desperate for a cure for his deadly condition.

Help came from an unlikely source. Syrian soldiers raided Israel and captured a young girl whom they brought back to become a maidservant to Naaman’s wife. Living in such close quarters, she must have seen Naaman’s dreadful disease and overheard the distressed and fearful conversations.

One day, she found the courage to say to her mistress: “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy” (II Kings 5:3). One small voice of hope spoke into Naaman’s misery and despair.

She is only ever mentioned in this one verse. She speaks her truth and leaves the scene. She walks in and out unnamed, but her message of hope changed Naaman’s world.

This maiden had every reason to stay silent. She was a young, foreign girl – small and despised in many eyes. For all of the reasons why she could not have said anything, she had some truth. When she shared the truth, it began to deliver Naaman.

What have you done with the truth you possess about Jesus Christ and His salvation? Your voice can offer the message of hope to change someone’s world forever.

LET’S PRAY.
This morning l pray the Holy Ghost will speak through you to offer hope to someone’s world to experience divine turnaround in Jesus mighty name. May you open your mouth to speak God’s truth and love to every person that you meet. May yours be the voice of hope to a searching soul today in the name of Jesus Christ. May your listeners experience signs and wonders in their lives in Jesus glorious name. Amen, Amen and Amen! Fountain to your life.
