2025: Your Year of Abundant Life

We welcome you to the year 2025, your Year of Abundant Life in Jesus name. Jesus Christ said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY” … John 10:10. In this context Jesus was talking to the Pharisees; the false and bad and evil shepherds. So, let everyone declare the word in the possessive by saying - thank you Jesus You have come that I may have life, and that I may have it more abundantly. BACKGROUND: This is your year of abundant life and not just year of abundance because there is something more significant about abundant life. In the bible, coming from our Judeo-Christian journey and faith, the people of Israel passed through three (3) Lands, different locations with different social and spiritual conditions. 1. The land of Egypt – A land of bondage, bitterness and barrenness. 2. The Wilderness – A land of “Just Enough” sustenance and murmurings. 3. The Land of Canaan or Promised land – A land of Abundance. This land of abundance is the land flowing with milk and honey. God said “I have come down to deliver and bring them up to the land of abundance, flowing with milk and honey…………..” Exodus 3:8 This means that God will supply their material needs, food, nourishment and health care in this land abundantly. And God did so. Praise the Lord! However, God did more for mankind in this dispensation when Jesus said, “.. I have come that they (Christians) may have life more abundantly.” .. John 10:10. Now there’s a paradigm shift from land of abundance or abundance to abundant life. Therefore, in Christ, we have abundant life, including all the blessings of the promised land and all the blessings of Abraham. Praise the Lord! DEFINITION OF ABUNDANT LIFE: A life of satisfaction and contentment rooted in Jesus Christ. As Jesus Christ provides everything you need to be who God wants you to be and to do what God has called you to do here on earth for His glory and enjoy eternal life in heaven. Abundant life is a life of spiritual fulfilment, with all other things added in abundance…… Matt 6:33 INVITATION TO ABUNDANT LIFE: Sinners and unbelievers may have riches and abundance of all material things but not abundant life unless they repent. So, everyone is invited to come to Jesus in repentance and submission to Him as Lord and Savior. ….. Acts. 2:38-39 This year 2025, in the mighty name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit will help you and me to come into full relationship with Jesus. PRAYER & PROPHETIC DECLARATION: 1. I thank you Lord Jesus on behalf of the church for the cross over from 2024 to 2025 2. I thank you Lord Jesus for You have come that your church may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. 3. I declare, in the name of Jesus that this year 2025 is your year of Abundant life. 4. I declare that as you fully surrender and look unto Jesus only as your ultimate satisfaction, you will enjoy abundant life in Jesus name 5. I prophesy to you and your children, the same Jesus that came to give you abundant life, also came to destroy the works of the thief and overthrew his mission against you; Whereas he comes to steal but Jesus KEEPS Whereas he comes to kill but Jesus GIVES LIFE Whereas he comes to destroy but Jesus RESTORES. 6. This year the power of abundant life will invade your household and turn around every Defeat to Victory, Captivity to Liberty, Poverty to Prosperity, Losses to Gains, Scarcity to Surplus, Failure to Success, Shame to Honor, Distress to Rest, Barrenness to Fruitfulness and the downtrodden will be uplifted. In Jesus name 7. In this year of abundant life, there will be healthy relationships between marriages, parents-children, families, friends, communities and Nations in Jesus name. 8. In this year of abundant life, the Lord will set the solitary in families through marriages, the prodigals will return home, and the abandoned will be visited 9. Because Jesus is the good shepherd you will not lack but abound in material, financial, intellectual resources and creative skills in Jesus name. 10.I prophesy in the name of Jesus that from your abundant resources, you will be a channel of blessings helping many people to rise and supporting Ministries. 11. As Mary of Bethany sat to listen to Jesus, and later served Him, so shall you rise from sitting to serving the Lord this year in Jesus name. 12. This year 2025, the Lord will raise faithful workmen and responsible stewards to grow His church exponentially in Jesus name. Now may the exceedingly great God, who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above what we ask, supply all you need to be who God wants you to be and to do what God has called you to do this year and beyond. So, you`ll be recognized, rewarded and decorated! This is your abundant life. HAPPY NEW YEAR

2024: Your Year of Greater Glory

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024! We are thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ and we're trusting Him to experience the greater glory as of His millennium kingdom this year 2024, based on His promise to us in the prophecy of EZEKIEL 47:1-12. BACKGROUND: After 25 years of the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem and subsequent captivity in Babylon, Ezekiel saw a vision of restoration. He saw a new temple, water from the temple, river and trees in the desert, and life in the Dead Sea. A miracle indeed, showing the greater glory of the future new temple and the new Jerusalem (Haggai 2:9) This prophetic vision signifies but is not limited to any of the following; 1.Millennial Kingdom, 2.The Gospel of the Kingdom, and 3. You in His Kingdom So connect your identity with this temple in Ezekiel 47:1-12 YOUR GUIDE: The Holy Spirit (John 16:13) is your guide to greater glory just as this Guide led Ezekiel to see that the glory of the new temple, greater than the former. (Ezek. 47:1,2,3 & 6). The Lord brought you back to count your blessings in 2023, He brought you out, you crossed over to 2024, He will lead you through 2024, He will return you to see how much He has transformed you in 2024. Then you will compare and confirm that there's greater glory this year In the name Jesus, as you enjoy the new blessings, your former blessings will be intact, no substitution, no loss of territory or access. THE SOURCE & YOU: This water is from underneath the temple of God …47:1. This is corroborated by Joel 3:18 and Zechariah 14:8 This water that Ezekiel saw became a river deep enough to carry Ezekiel and returned him to the bank … 47:5 -7 Though Ezekiel was lifted out to the bank of the river, he did not lose the presence and power of this river of life. This is greater glory. So, once you are in the river of life, the river will be in you because the water that Jesus gives becomes a fountain of water springing from you …John 14:4, John 7:38 Beloved, you are a carrier of the Holy Spirit because you are the temple of God (1Corinthians 3:16). This also is greater glory. In the name of Jesus, this year you will remain in the river of life; bearing fruit and you will not lose the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. YOUR VISION: Ezekiel's vision started with trickling water – Vs 1 and becomes a torrential river -Vs 5 and he saw trees on the bank of the river. This now becomes Rivers of Living Water. This is greater glory! Because in Christ all visions become realities, this year the Lord will open your spiritual eyes and mind for visions, divine dreams, wisdom, and creative ideas. This year the Lord will broaden your vision, mission and dreams and turn them to reality. YOUR PROGRESSION: Verse 3,4 & 5 Show that the water not only turned to river but also increases in depth and size. This progression from ankle deep, to knee, to waist and to complete immersion is greater glory. The Lord will break every power of stagnation in your life this year in Jesus name For everyone who is waist deep in this water, half in and half out, the Lord will break the power of fear and you will no longer be afraid of the cost of service in Jesus name. As you get completely immersed in this river of life, you will be carried to more places, people and new positions in Jesus name. YOUR DESERT TRANSFORMED: As Ezekiel was led out and returned to the bank of the river, he saw that the desert has turned into garden with many trees….Vs 7. Though, the desert has its usefulness, turning into arable land is greater glory. Beloved, God loves you where and how you are, but He loves you so much that He will not leave you where and how you are. Do the same for your loved ones. In the name of Jesus God will turn every desert around you into garden; barren land and wombs will become fruitful. The Lord will empower you to turn deserts into gardens, slums into cities, cinemas into churches and sinners into saints. YOUR DEAD SEA HEALED: This river of life continues to flow downwards the valley and when it reaches the Dead Sea, its waters are healed …. Verse 8 Again, the Dead Sea is not completely useless, that is why its swamps and marshes are preserved for salt…. Verse 11. But the confrontation of the river of life with the Dead Sea resulting in the conversion of the Dead Sea to living water is greater glory. In this new year all the adversaries and adversities confronting you will be converted in Jesus name. The Dead Sea is dead because it has no outlet. Therefore, you must not receive and retain only but you will be a cheerful giver and a channel of blessing and healed emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically in Jesus mighty name. This also is greater glory. MULTIPLY! You will notice “there was water” in Verse 1 and “these waters go there” in Verse 9. Also, “and it was a river” in Verse 5 and “wherever the rivers go” in Vs 9. Beloved from water to waters and from river to rivers is greater glory. In the name of Jesus, your faith, gifts, skills, service, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, productivity, remuneration, and finances will multiply this year. ENJOYING ABUNDANT LIFE: Rivers of living waters flowing downstream to all and all the downtrodden peoples and places giving them abundant life …Verse 9-12 This is the promised land flowing with milk and honey, this is the millennial kingdom, that you and the church is enjoying this year 2024. What a greater glory to Christ our King. Finally, I pray that you'll surrender your life to Jesus, the Word who became flesh, and be immersed in this unstoppable river so that you can successfully carry the living water to everyone, everywhere, every day of this year. For Greater Glory! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2023: Your Year of Righteousness

On behalf of Philadelphia Ministries, we welcome you to the year 2023. We thank the Lord our EBENEZER (Helper) in 2022, and our Jehovah SHAMMAH Who is there for us in 2023. Beloved, this is your year of righteousness, and we pray that the Lord`s righteousness He imputed to you will keep you and establish you as the scripture says “IN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS LIFE, AND IN IT`S PATHWAY THERE IS NO DEATH” …… Proverbs 12:28 In this New Year 2023, God is going to make a distinction between the righteous and the unrighteous. That`s why we`re going in the way of righteousness this year. The wicked will not survive this year. And there will not be room for neutrality, indifference, or complacency. WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS? Righteousness is simply, being right in alignment or harmony with the standard of God and His kingdom. Righteousness is the nature of God and it`s very important to God because He is righteous. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF GOD - Righteousness is at God`s instance, in the life of: 1.. Abraham: Abraham believed and agreed with the LORD by faith that he will have an heir and descendants, from his body and the LORD accounted it to him for righteousness ………. Genesis 15:4-6 2.. Phinehas: He fought against immorality and the LORD accounted it to him for righteousness ………….. Psalm 106:30-31 and Numbers 25: 1-15 3… Believers/Christians: the LORD JESUS is our Righteousness … Jeremiah 23:6 The righteousness of God is imputed or accounted to us by faith in Jesus, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him ………… 2Corinthians 5:21. Now that we have gained the righteousness of God, and become partakers of the kingdom of God, we must live in the way of righteousness. Interestingly, even in His righteousness we are further rewarded. THE REWARD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: As you walk in righteousness this year- 1.. Your righteousness will direct your path in the right way. You will not miss road or run into any crooked way or closed door in Jesus name …. Proverbs 11:5 2. Your righteousness will also deliver you and your household from every satanic agenda, demonic oppression or even natural disasters in Jesus name ……… Proverbs 11:6 Consider Moses, he fought oppression in Egypt, escaped to Midian, where he fought another oppression (Exodus 2:11-22) Eventually, the righteousness of Moses in consistently standing up against injustice was rewarded with shelter, refuge, home, wife, children, success, calling, counsel, and fulfilment in Midian. So shall you be blessed in Jesus name. 3. “All these things shall be added to you” … Matthew 6:33. This means that the Lord will supply all your needs (spiritual, physical, material, financial, social) as you walk in righteousness. 4. Your righteousness and that of other believers will altogether exalt our Nations …. Proverbs 14:34 God is looking for a righteous man to stand in the gap … Ezekiel 22:30 God is waiting for His righteous people to call on Him … 2Chronicles 7:14 Here we are! A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people ……… 1Peter2:9 Concerning the 2023 elections in Nigeria, as David used only one stone to defeat Goliath, righteous people in Nigeria will use only one vote each to defeat all the Goliaths, giants, suckers, parasites, termites, and cankerworms that are destroying Nigeria. Therefore, the Lord will be exalted in our nations, and we will experience His righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Finally, we declare that the Holy Spirit will empower you to go beyond resolution this year, to seek and stand for righteousness as well as serve and build His kingdom. And that you, your family and the church will be fruitful, and prosper in His righteousness in Jesus name. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2022: Year of Expansion

Happy New Year! We welcome you to the year 2022 in Jesus name.

This year 2022 is the year of Expansion for us because the word of God says - “You Shall Expand To The Right And To The Left” and shall it be so in Jesus name.

Beloved, God had prepared us in 2021 so that we can inherit this promise.

“FOR YOU SHALL EXPAND TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT, AND YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL INHERIT THE NATIONS, AND INHABIT DESOLATE CITIES” Isaiah 54:3

Assurance In The Accuracy Of Prophecy:

We believe that this prophecy is applicable to us because this prophecy of restoration has been fulfilled in the past and will still be fulfilled in future. In fact, historically this prophecy in Isaiah 54 was fulfilled when the nation of Israel returned from the Babylonian exile. And eschatologically it will surely be fulfilled in the future Millennium Kingdom. Since it was true in the past for the nation of Israel and certain for the future Millennium Kingdom, that is why we believe that presently it applies to the church. Hence, we can personally claim this promise of restoration and expansion. So, in the name of Jesus we shall expand and spread out in every direction, right- left, North- South, East- West, inheriting the nations, occupying the cities, and possessing our possessions.

Dispersion and Persecution Result in Expansion:

We believe that most cases of persecution in the bible resulted into expansion. 1. The sons of the Prophets under Elisha increased after many years of persecution form Ahab and Jezebel, so they had to make provision for expansion (2 Kings 6:1-2) Likewise, I prophesy that irrespective of any persecution, you`ll be so fruitful that you`ll have to expand your domain in Jesus name.

2. The people of Israel were going into captivity, it was a difficult time, yet God commanded them to marry and bear children in exile, thereby preparing them for restoration and expansion. (Jeremiah 29:4-11)

3. The Christians in the early church were afraid of persecution but persecution brought dispersion as they were scattered abroad, and this invariably led to the expansion of the church. (Acts 8: 1, 4)

4. I am a living testimony. In 2001, I was persecuted and jailed in Saudi Arabia but today the Lord had expanded our ministry from KSA to USA, Spain, Egypt, Nigeria, and we`re still progressing. In all these examples, expansion came after some difficult times or adversities including defeats and captivity, persecution, and dispersion. But the children of God endured, and they received the promise because God is in control.

Personal Application Of This Prophecy

It`s obvious you are facing all kinds of challenges now, including the Covid -19 pandemic but I want you to know that the Lord who turned victims to victors, defeats to victories, captivity to liberty, dispersion to expansion, barrenness to fruitfulness will do the same for you this year in Jesus name. God is the same yesterday, today and forever so His word will surely come to pass in your life. And you shall expand abroad to the right and left, and your descendants will possess nations, and inhabit desolate cities. And by the power of the Holy Spirit, you`ll experience EXPANSION in every aspect of life. God will tell you when, teach you how, and lead you wherever to expand.

Prayer and Prophetic Declaration

What is required of you now is to believe God as Abraham believed Him. When our father Abraham was given a similar promise about 5,000 years ago, he believed the Lord (Abraham just said Amen) and it was accounted to him for righteousness. (Genesis 15:6). Today you have His righteousness imputed to you. (2 Corinthians 5:21) I call it the expanded version of righteousness. Therefore, you have a greater reason to say Amen to these prophetic prayers.

1. In the name of Jesus you`ll expand in righteousness. Amen!

2. You will expand in character, morality, and holiness in the face of materialism

3. Your faith will expand in the face of secular, liberal, religious, political and all ungodly propaganda, and agenda in Jesus name

4. This year, you`ll expand in knowledge, wisdom, and intellectual capacity

5. You have the mandate to be fruitful biologically in Gen.1:28 and the expanded mandate to be fruitful spiritually in Matt 28:19 –20 and these mandates will be fulfilled in Jesus name.

6. The Canaanites were then there in the land when God promised to give Abraham the (Genesis 12:6). 400 years later the seed of Abraham dispossessed them and inherited the land. Likewise, your children will possess and lead nations, schools, companies etc.

7. In the name of Jesus desolate places will be inhabited, all untapped resources will become useful this year and the unmarried brothers and sisters will be married.

8. There will be numerous opportunities for business expansion this year

9. The church will experience expansion and be so fruitful this year with access to unreached places, and peoples.

One more thing, please expand your expectation. Don`t limit your God because of past disappointments. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will surely come in the morning (Psalm 30:5) He was preparing you for this year and you`ll begin to see the shift from ENDURING to ENJOYING. So, you`ll no longer endure but enjoy your marriage, your job, your health, your business, your education and ministry in Jesus name.

Finally, please hold on to Jesus Christ, He is your bridegroom or husband (Isaiah 54:5) without Him in your life you`ll will face the reproach of widowhood (Isaiah 54:4). It`s only in Him and by Him you can be fruitful and expand abroad.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2021: YEAR OF DIVINE CREATIVITY

We welcome everyone to 2021, The Year Of Divine Creativity in Jesus name.

No doubt, the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted human activities throughout 2020. This resulted in immediate global changes in the method of management, administration, business, and commercial operations as well as education and religious activities.

WHAT WE NEED: So, from this year onward, you do not need a Rocket Scientist or a Major Prophet to convince you or prophesy to you that in view of the challenges we need to be creative to move on.

Creativity is simply the process of turning new imaginative ideas into something real or tangible and functional. For example, someone created Zoom that everyone all over the world is using today. Creativity is Originality (A new thing) and Functionality (that works well)

However, as Christians, we know that these new ideas will not come by human wisdom, not by power or by might but by the Spirit of God.

WHAT GOD WILL DO: Praise be to God who had gone ahead to prepare us for this time and season. As the Scripture says:

“WHAT NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS HEARD, AND NO ONE HAS IMAGINED IS WHAT GOD PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVED HIM” .... 1Corinthians 2:9

Beloved, the Lord who by His pleasure revealed to us the mystery of redemption by the Holy Spirit, will this year 2021 reveal to us creative ideas through the same Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

HAS HE EVER DONE IT? Yes! God inspired all these people with creativity. 1. Bezalel: “And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, knowledge and with all kinds of skills” …. Exodus 35:31

Exodus 35:30-35 – This is Divine creativity at its best. These people were not trained physically or formally, yet they were able to build the God`s Tabernacle or Sanctuary. They were able to do all these things by Holy Spirit inspiration. Remember that they were slaves in Egypt and were not exposed to the technology of the time.

2. Joseph: He interpreted Pharaoh`s dream accurately and by divine creativity managed the resources of Egypt as the Prime Minister. Genesis 41:14 – 57

3. Mary Magdalene demonstrated an incredible spiritual insight and creativity when she anointed Jesus with oil ……… Mark 14:1-9 This was a well pleasing service to the Lord, and for which she will be remembered for ever.

4. There were these five men of faith, plus the sick man, who creatively devised a way to reach Jesus from the roof. …. Mark 2:1-12. They already had faith by coming to Jesus, then they encountered an obstacle, yet they would not stop and turn back. They imagined or thought about dropping him through the roof, and immediately they turned their imagination to action. For them faith was fast forwarded to the next level that is creativity. Their faith born creativity, Jesus was moved, and He healed the sick man, and all the people gave glory to God saying; “We never saw anything like this!”

Well, the long list of people who were outstanding in creativity continues: 5. Zacchaeus climbed the Sycamore tree so that he can see Jesus (Luke 19:1-10)

6.The woman with the flow of blood, who first touched Jesus (Luke 8:43-48)

7. John Wesley and the Methodist Church

8. Isaac Newton and the theory of gravity

9. Pastor Arthur Blessit, and the big cross he carries about.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO: Praise, Pray and Prophesy.

1.Thank the Lord for bringing you and your family to the year 2021.

2. Ask the Lord to show you great and mighty things, to reveal things you or no one else ever knew, seen, heard of imagined: “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3)

3. Declare, in the name of Jesus, that you receive Divine inspiration for creativity in fellowship with the Lord, and in relationship with your family and friends.

4. Pray that this year the Lord will reveal to you and all believers His creative ways to reach the unreached people and the lost with the gospel.

5. Declare that the Holy Spirit will inspire you with creative ways of doing ministry and you will be so fruitful, with branches overrunning the walls all over.

6. Pray that this year 2021, the Lord who reveals deep and hidden things will show you all the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places in Jesus name.

7. Declare that you are a partaker and a performer of God`s creative miracles in Jesus name

8. Declare that the Lord will do for you, wonderful things that eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, regarding your health, education, vocation, business, and finances

9. Pray that this year the Lord your God who gives the power to get wealth, will divinely endow you with the creative ideas that you will implement and make tremendous wealth in Jesus name

10. Pray that the Lord will reveal to world leaders, the scientists, and all relevant authorities the creative ways to combat and defeat this Covid-19 pandemic

Beloved, creativity is new thing that works. So, I prophesy that this year you will enter new spousal relationship, gain new positions and appointments and you will flourish. And as Mary anointed Jesus, and Jesus said let her be remembered, so shall your creativity and generosity bring you everlasting fame and glory in Jesus name.

Finally, may the Lord God of creation, who through Jesus Christ, made us a new creation, now also create in all His people a new heart, so that everyone will acknowledge Him as the creator in all creativities.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2020: Your Year of Pleasant Surprises

On behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ we welcome you to the new year 2020 and new decade 2020 – 2029. Thanks to God, we’ve crossed over into new year and decade of pleasant surprises.

Pleasant Surprises are unexpected blessings and breakthroughs of exceedingly great joy.

Distinction:

1. Normally, when we ask God for something we need, He answers our prayer and meets our needs. This year, we will continue to do so, and He will continue to answer us.

2. Also, many times we ask God for a miracle over a known situation or circumstance and He does perform those miracles. Again, we will do so this year and He will not fail us.

3. However, in this year 2020, in addition to all these, the Lord will do exceedingly great things for us that we never thought about, pray about or expect at all in Jesus name.

Scripture: Matthew 25:34-40 34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'LORD, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

Commentary: Matt. 25:34 …….. The king will say come you blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of world. This means that God is going to unleash manifold blessings upon you this year. All the things that have accumulated for you since the time of your creation, you will inherit this year Matt. 25: 37 – 39 …. Then the righteous will wonder, Lord! When did we see you hungry and so on ….? That is how the Lord will surprise you this year in Jesus name. Matt. 25:40…. Then the King will answer, ‘Assuredly, I say to you”; you are receiving an unimaginable compensation for all the treasures you laid in heaven. So, this pleasant surprise is coming to those who serve without base motive

Prophetic Declarations:

Joseph brothers were accused as spies (Gen 42:9) but they received pleasant surprises (Gen. 42:35) when they found their money in their sacks.

You too will receive pleasant surprises in your finances and businesses in Jesus name.

Jacob thought he had lost his children (Gen. 42: 35) but he received a pleasant surprise (Gen. 45:26 – 28) his children were alive.

You too will receive pleasant surprises concerning your; Faith, Family, Friends, Marriage, Job, Business, Education, and Ministry in Jesus name

The prodigal and unworthy son (Luke 15:19) received his pleasant surprise (Luke 15:22 – 24) as the celebrated son.

In the name of Jesus, God will honor you this year, and the world will recognize you, honor, appreciate, remunerate, decorate and celebrate you.

Peter and the Church (Acts.12: 11 and 16) received pleasant surprises of Peters deliverance.

Therefore, you and your family will receive pleasant surprises of salvation, deliverance, healing and breakthroughs in Jesus name.

Jesus Christ also received pleasant surprise as He testified concerning the Centurion “I say to you I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel” (Luke 7:9)

So, to you unbelievers, you can “surprise” Jesus today by giving your life to Him. He is the only one who can bring you into this new life of pleasant surprises and save you from the impending judgment. And to you, the righteous, may your faith and service this year, altogether bring pleasant surprises to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord! Your year of pleasant surprises is the adversary`s year of Unpleasant surprises in Jesus name.

Happy New Year!

2019 - YEAR OF SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATION

Glory be to God almighty, Who, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, had brought us safely to the year 2019. This is our year of supernatural manifestation; “FOR THE EARNEST EXPECTATION OF THE CREATION EAGERLY WAITS FOR THE MANIFESTATION (revealing) OF THE SONS OF GOD” Romans 8:19 KJV. In this year 2019, our God will FAST-FORWARD all our expectations into supernatural manifestation in Jesus name.

According to the scripture, the creation represents all mankind who are awaiting the revelation/manifestation of the sons of God in the future. While, the sons of God are the believers/servants of God according to John 1:12, & 2 Corinthians 6:18.

Thus, the prophetic word is that our Lord will make a difference in our lives this year. Even though the whole world is expecting something to happen in future, but our God will accelerate or fast-forward His works in our lives this year. So, His work and miracles for us and through us will be to us and to the world His supernatural manifestations.

Because our God has done it before, 2Kings 20: 9-11-For a sign to Hezekiah. He asked Hezekiah if he wanted the time to fast-forward or move backward. Hezekiah's choice was to move backward and it was so. Our sovereign God is equally able to move the time forward.

He will do it again, for the Safety of the Elects, His sons and daughters. He will cut short the days of tribulation for us, to fast-forward our deliverance, our meeting and reigning with Him … Matthew 24:22.

Yes, because we believe Him for this year 2019. Therefore, in Jesus name, we declare supernatural manifestation upon our; lives, spouses, children, family, church, ministries, businesses, vocations, academics, projects, and all our expectations.

Moreover, our God will SLOW-DOWN and terminate every satanic move against us as He slowed down the Egyptians and Pharaoh by cutting off the wheels of their chariots … Exodus14:25.

So, all our adversaries will never catch up with us in Jesus name

No adversity; sickness, disappointment, failure will catch up with us.

No satanic agenda, plot and plan; wars, terrorism, economic recession or depression nor political suppression will catch up with us in Jesus name

Above all, let`s come to His righteousness, walk in His righteousness, and stand for His righteousness, as sons and daughters of the living God, for the glory of His kingdom. May the Lord through this supernatural manifestation use us to reveal His glory to this generation in Jesus name.

You are welcome to 2019, your year of supernatural manifestation in Jesus name.
