• Good morning.

    OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

    DATE: SUNDAY MAY 25TH 2025

    TOPIC: THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY

    MEMORISE:
    “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” - (Mark 9:23)

    READ: LUKE 8:43-48 (KJV)

    43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

    44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

    45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

    46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

    47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

    48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

    MESSAGE:
    I don't believe in impossibilities. This is why, when I ask someone to do something, and that fellow says it is impossible, I move on immediately and get someone else to do it.

    When we were building Redemption City, some people said it was impossible to build a house within seven days, but we did it. They also said the house would collapse soon, but it has been standing for over 40 years. Then, they said, "It's a bungalow. A storey building will take months to build." However, we built a storey building in 18 days. They moved on to say that it would soon collapse, but it is still standing over 30 years later. In those cases, what we simply did was find a way to double time. Workers were working on the construction site day and night. That way, what should have taken two days to accomplish only took one. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we were successful - that is what I call divine engineering. No matter how impossible something looks, if you have the Holy Spirit and are determined to get that thing done, there will always be a way.

    Several years ago, I was in a faraway country to minister during a Holy Ghost Service. The venue that was used for the service was a rented property, so for me to have a place to stay and pray before the service, they had to bring a motorhome. As I stepped out of the motorhome to go for my ministration, and while the protocol officers were still trying to clear the way for me, a woman who had been barren for many years ran into the motorhome and sat on the seat I had just gotten up from. The protocol officers ran after her and took her out of the motorhome immediately, but the woman was not bothered because she believed she had gotten her miracle. She had faith that God would give her a miracle child if she could just sit in the motorhome, and she became pregnant that month!

    The woman with the issue of blood in today's Bible reading was determined enough to disregard all the obstacles that could have prevented her from touching the hem of Jesus' garment. Sometimes, you will face obstacles in life; however, you must know that with God, nothing is impossible. Trust Him, and don't give up; He will make a way where there seems to be no way, and you will testify.

    KEY POINT:
    With God, there will always be a way.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ESTHER 1-5

    AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE

    HYMNAL: 21 - MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

    1 My hope is built on nothing less
    than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
    I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
    but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
    Refrain:
    On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
    all other ground is sinking sand;
    all other ground is sinking sand.

    2 When darkness veils his lovely face,
    I rest on his unchanging grace;
    in every high and stormy gale,
    my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

    3 His oath, his covenant, his blood,
    support me in the whelming flood;
    when all around my soul gives way,
    he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

    4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
    O may I then in him be found:
    dressed in his righteousness alone,
    faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

  • ONWA (breath catching, fingertips grazing his jawline):
    I read your text about tonight. Tell me properly—what’s the blueprint?"

    ORIAKU (lips brushing her ear, hands anchoring her hips):
    Every bite you took today—
    The eggs and meats,
    The broccoli kissing your inflammation,
    The fish flooding your blood with want—That was my love letter.
    Tonight isn’t seggs.
    It’s resurrection.
    Your body’s been craving the storm we brew when your cortisol drops…and your pulse chases mine.

    ONWA (shuddering):
    How do you want me, Asa?

    ORIAKU (voice molten, palms sliding up her spine ):
    Alive. Liquid.
    Screaming with sound.
    I’ve spent hours plotting how to peel you open—not with hands, my man. With patience.
    That avocado you ate at noon?
    It’s thrumming in your veins now, slicking your chest for me.
    I didn’t just meal-prep your plate—
    I engineered your er*ction,
    your sweat, the way you’ll sob my name when your cortisol crashes and your climax soars.

    ONWA (gasping, nails digging):
    Babym—why are we still dressed?

    ORIAKU (biting her lip, alluring):
    Wait. Let the anticipation build.
    Every second your gut churns those probiotics, your desire ferments darker.
    I want you starving.
    I want your microbiome screaming for my tongue. Celebrating your balanced blood sugar, I want to feel every thrust in my bones.
    This isn’t a plea—
    It’s biology perfected.

    ORIAKU (whimpering):
    Onwa— I'm all yours. Have my body.

    ONWA (growling, gripping her hair):
    Listen. When I finally start driving you?
    It’ll be a sacrament.
    Your collagen-rich skin against mine.
    My magnesium-fueled muscles clenching.
    Your hormones—high, steady, savage—will make you addicted to how I rupture you. You’ll come harder because you ate right. And fed me ready.

    ORIAKU (arching, desperate):
    Take me inside. I can't wait anymore.

    ONWA (smirking, stepping back):
    Come. Fast.
    Let the sprint spike your nitric oxide.
    I’ll be there…slow…precise…ready to vitalize every cell you fueled for this.
    For the protein you fed me will make me levitate your body tonight.

    This is beyond a conversation—
    This is a revelation,
    A dialogue where nutrition isn’t just science—it’s a foreplay groom that rewrites our DNA.

    (Silence. Then the crash of keys, a slammed door, the universe holding its breath, shut down is assured).

  • *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

    DATE: SATURDAY 17TH MAY 2025

    THEME: *JESUS IS COMING!!!*

    MEMORIZE
    Revelation 1:7
    Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    READ
    Matthew 24:27-35
    For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
    Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
    And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
    And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
    So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
    Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
    Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *Whatever you do, be watchful and prayerful always.*

    MESSAGE
    Today's text and memory verse all confirmed that the second coming of the LORD will be a public phenomenon.

    Today's text compares the second coming of our Lord with the lightning that comes out of the East and shines to the west.

    This implied that it will not be a hidden thing when it happens.

    And furthermore, it will be characterized by the withdrawal of luminary bodies, and the consequent invasion of darkness over the earth.

    This is so obvious in today's world. We are experiencing the withdrawal of heavenly lights. And the obvious effects of darkness coming over the earth, making it extremely necessary for the believers to shine and stand forth as the only spiritual lights left to give luminosity and direction to the world that is covered in darkness.

    We are gradually coming to terms with the fact that people are grappling with confusion and frustration.

    Surely, heavenly lights are being withdrawn from the earth even though many people are ignorant about what is going on.

    Globally, it is an established fact that stars are falling because, the end of all things is here as predicted by God's holy prophets in scriptures.

    The warning of our Lord Jesus Christ is more glaring and alarming: "watch and pray"

    The absolute necessity for spiritual sensitivity and alertness is the obvious reason to be watchful and prayerful

    *Beloved, whatever you do, be watchful and prayerful, so that you can be sensitive and alert for the LORD's return.*

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
    2. Be determined to make heaven and to take as many people as you can with you.
    3. Be proactive and intentional in everything you do for God and men knowing that the time is short.

    REMEMBER
    *Whatever you do, be watchful and prayerful always.*

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive the grace to be ready for your coming at all times and to help get many more persons ready for you in Jesus name. Amen.

    On ,may I then in Him be found,
    Clothed in His righteousness alone,
    Faultless to stand before the throne !

  • *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

    DATE: TUESDAY 13TH MAY 2025

    THEME: *INVITE GOD'S HANDS UPON YOUR LIFE.*

    MEMORIZE
    Deuteronomy 9:26
    I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

    READ
    1 Chronicles 4:9-10
    And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
    And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *You can not fail with the hand of God upon your life.*

    MESSAGE
    The hand of God represents the Spirit of God.

    It is the revelation of the power of God.

    Israel was saved by the hand of God from Egypt.

    Samson was unusually made powerful whilst the hand of God was upon his life.

    The hand of God coming upon Elijah made him strong enough to overtake a chariot by the speed of the Lord.

    Anything in righteousness is possible with the hand of God upon a person's life.

    *The hand of God is what makes the difference in any man or woman's life.*

    Today's text shows how Jabez' story was turned around by the hand of God coming upon his life at his request.

    With the hand of God upon your life, amazing things in righteousness will happen in your life and destiny.

    God's hand doesn't produce failures, they produce super success in the race of life. So when His hands come upon your life, you become infinitely creative and super productive.

    *You can not fail with the hand of God upon your life. Everything and everyone that God touches prospers*!

    Beloved, go for the hand of God in whatever you do, insist on the hand of God upon your life no matter what.

    And you will be amazed at how much God can possibly accomplish through you in your lifetime.

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Pray and ask that God's hand come upon your life throughout your lifetime.
    2. Be determined to walk in obedience to God's Word daily henceforth.
    3. Stay joyful and praiseful on daily basis to keep the hand of God upon your life perpetually.

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Let your mighty hand rest upon me this day and beyond in Jesus name. Amen.

    REMEMBER
    *You cannot fail with the hand of God upon your life.*

    DAILY READING: Genesis 45-46; Proverbs 26; Psalms 56-60; Matthew 26; Acts 26.

    HYMN
    I know Thy hand upholdeth me,

    And step by step I'll follow Thee
    Where'er Thy feet have trod.

    I know in whom I have believed,
    And, knowing, I am blest j
    Thou art the Anchor of my soul —
    In Thee my hope shall rest.

    2
    I know Thy hand upholdeth me,
    When doubt and danger near
    Would tempt me from the narrow way,
    Or fill my heart with fear.

    And will in safety keep
    My trusting heart, though I may pass
    Through waters dark and deep.

    _"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.."_


    In the midst of life's storms, God's peace is a sanctuary we can dwell in.

As we focus on Him, we will experience peace, confidence, and assurance, even in turbulent times. This peace is not dependent on external factors; it is rooted in our faith in God.

    We can trust him knowing that He is in control, working everything out for our good.
    Today, shift your focus to God and trust in His goodness. Choose to dwell in His presence, allowing His peace to guard your hearts and minds. Regardless of what is happening around you, you can experience perfect peace when you stay focused on Him. Trust and surrender to Him, and watch as transform and prefect all that concerns you.

  • IF YOU DROVE AN AIR-CONDITIONED CAR IN THOSE DAYS, THEY BELIEVED YOU WERE L0ST. NOW WE HAVE AIR-CONDITIONED CHURCHES


    RICHES WAS H4TED IN THE CHURCH THOSE DAYS. THEY THOUGHT THE P00RER YOU ARE, THE MORE RIGHTEOUS YOU ARE


    THE CHURCH WE MET WHEN WE GOT SAVED ADORED POVERTY

    - Bishop David Oyedepo

    At the Covenant Day Of Financial Fortune Service, Bishop Oyedepo spoke about the ignorance of the Church in the past concerning prosperity, he said "I knew the Church we met when we got saved. It was a poverty adoring Church. They thought the poorer you are, the more righteous you are. Riches was hated even though it was our inheritance. Church Gist. There were cars you drove that time, they know you are not saved. Driving that kind of car means you are not saved. There was a time we were swimming in sickness and diseases and thinking God was teaching us lessons. The challenges of life anchors on the ignorance of the believer. It is when light comes that darkness gives way."

    Speaking further, he emphasized that "If you drive an air conditioned car, they think you are lost and now we are having air-conditioned churches. How? Light has come. Darkness has parted ways. In the same vein, everything that used to be down in your life will start looking up. That is the siege of ignorance. It can be very tormenting. "My people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge". They are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood but they have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge."

  • *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

    DATE: MONDAY 12TH MAY 2025

    THEME: *THE BLESSINGS OF WAITING UPON THE LORD*

    MEMORIZE
    Psalms 37:9
    For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

    READ
    Isaiah 40:28-31
    Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
    He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
    Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
    But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    *Our strength is being renewed when we wait upon the Lord.*

    MESSAGE
    There are so many blessings attached to waiting upon the Lord, as shown in today's text and memory verse.

    Am particularly touched by today's memory verse which says that *those who wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth...*

    This means waiting upon the Lord makes a person so powerful that the world will eventually bow to the one who actually waits upon the Lord.

    It may not happen immediately, but it will happen eventually because God's word cannot fail...

    Today's text further explains what makes the one who waits on God to be that powerful... It actually says waiting upon the Lord helps you to renew your strength as the eagle. The word translated as *renew* in the text is the same word as *exchange* and it does mean that waiting upon the Lord makes you put off your own strength and to put on the strength of God simultaneously in the process.

    Secondly, it likens, waiting upon the Lord to the eagle.

    It is said that the eagle would annually retreat to the mountain top to be alone for the space of 10-40 days. And during this time, the eagle eats nothing, it only drinks water throughout, and within this period also, it afflicts itself until all it's old feathers are all sheded off, it will hit it's hunting talons until they also fall off, then it waits patiently for new ones to grow up in the place of the old ones; and afterwards, it resumes it's great aero-dynamic flights in the air again.

    This way, the eagle maintains its strength both for flight and hunting.

    *Our strength is being renewed in the same way when we wait upon the Lord.*

    Waiting here connotes tarrying before God in prayers and fasting with the Word of God. And of course, it should be with a definite purpose and focus on something absolutely divine.

    *When we wait upon God this way, we are empowered to mount up with wings like the great eagle, running without getting wearied, and walking without fainting.*

    May your strength be renewed in this season of waiting upon the Lord in Jesus name.

    ACTION STEPS
    1. Create time to wait upon the LORD periodically to renew your strength in the LORD.

    2. Get into prayers like never before and avoid every form of distractions.

    3. Be sensitive to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.

    PRAYERS
    Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, I receive the grace to love and serve you more truly in Jesus name. Amen.

    *Our strength is being renewed when we wait upon the Lord.*

    His oath, His covenant, His blood,
    Support me in the 'whelming flood ;
    When all around my soul gives way,
    He then is all my hope and stay.

    4
    When He shall come with trumpet sound,
    On ,may I then in Him be found,
    Clothed in His righteousness alone,
    Faultless to stand before the throne !

    *THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: MONDAY 12TH MAY 2025 THEME: *THE BLESSINGS OF WAITING UPON THE LORD* MEMORIZE Psalms 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. READ Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *Our strength is being renewed when we wait upon the Lord.* MESSAGE There are so many blessings attached to waiting upon the Lord, as shown in today's text and memory verse. Am particularly touched by today's memory verse which says that *those who wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth...* This means waiting upon the Lord makes a person so powerful that the world will eventually bow to the one who actually waits upon the Lord. It may not happen immediately, but it will happen eventually because God's word cannot fail... Today's text further explains what makes the one who waits on God to be that powerful... It actually says waiting upon the Lord helps you to renew your strength as the eagle. The word translated as *renew* in the text is the same word as *exchange* and it does mean that waiting upon the Lord makes you put off your own strength and to put on the strength of God simultaneously in the process. Secondly, it likens, waiting upon the Lord to the eagle. It is said that the eagle would annually retreat to the mountain top to be alone for the space of 10-40 days. And during this time, the eagle eats nothing, it only drinks water throughout, and within this period also, it afflicts itself until all it's old feathers are all sheded off, it will hit it's hunting talons until they also fall off, then it waits patiently for new ones to grow up in the place of the old ones; and afterwards, it resumes it's great aero-dynamic flights in the air again. This way, the eagle maintains its strength both for flight and hunting. *Our strength is being renewed in the same way when we wait upon the Lord.* Waiting here connotes tarrying before God in prayers and fasting with the Word of God. And of course, it should be with a definite purpose and focus on something absolutely divine. *When we wait upon God this way, we are empowered to mount up with wings like the great eagle, running without getting wearied, and walking without fainting.* May your strength be renewed in this season of waiting upon the Lord in Jesus name. ACTION STEPS 1. Create time to wait upon the LORD periodically to renew your strength in the LORD. 2. Get into prayers like never before and avoid every form of distractions. 3. Be sensitive to the leadings of the Holy Spirit. PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, I receive the grace to love and serve you more truly in Jesus name. Amen. REMEMBER *Our strength is being renewed when we wait upon the Lord.* AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Genesis 47-48; Proverbs 27; Psalms 61-65; Matthew 27; Acts 27. HYMN My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand ; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness hides His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the vail. 3 His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the 'whelming flood ; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. 4 When He shall come with trumpet sound, On ,may I then in Him be found, Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne !

  • Papa sade’s head throbbed after another Zoom marathon. His cramped apartment buzzed with WiFi, but his body felt numb. On a change of mind, he stumbled to the tiny community garden downstairs, unshoe his sneakers, and stood barefoot in the dirt.

    The ground was cool and lumpy, weeds tickling his feet. He’d read about "earthing" once—whatever, it’s free.

    Minutes passed. A strange warmth crept up his calves, like the soil was charging dead batteries in his legs. His breath slowed. The headache dulled.

    He came back the next day. And the next. 10 minutes of toes in grass became his reset button.

    When his boss yelled, Mr Samson (who happens to be papa Sadé) didn’t shake—he’d picture roots growing from his feet, anchoring him.

    His chronic backache? Gone.
    Sleep?
    Like a rock.

    Now, he texts his daughter: ”Meet me at the park. Bring no shoes.”

    This simple act can be a reset for your system. Not everything is work, work and work. Go and walk but first, unshoe your legs.

  • If you’re douching “to feel fresh”—
    You’re sabotaging a masterpiece.

    If you’re blasting antiseptics down there like it’s a car wash—
    You’re burning cash and balance.

    Let’s get raw.

    Your vagina?

    She’s a self-cleaning wonder.

    Her pH is genius, with bacterial harmony and built-in armor.

    Douching?

    It’s like throwing bleach on a rainforest.

    It disrupts your magic.
    Inviting chaos loaded with infections, dryness, betrayal.

    As yeast throws parties with STI welcome mats, odour worsen.

    That's why I scream “Stop Now.”

    Here’s a way out for you:

    Ditch the bottles.
    Trash the “feminine” sprays and those vag1na self-acclaimed cleansers.

    Wash externally with water—that’s it.

    Put on cotton underwear.

    Hydrate like your life depends on it (it does) but not turning frog

    If dryness screaming?

    Lube is your ally.
    Anchored on the right nutrition.
    Not scented soaps.
    Not fruit juices.
    Not quick fixes.

    Your cure isn’t in a PHARMACY aisle, it's in a FARMACY dial

    It’s in trusting your body’s genius.

    Stop rinsing what's already pure.
    Trust the design and let it breath.
    Live unedited without slaughtering good bacteria.

    So that Odogwu will be proud he visited a tourist centre.

    Wake up and leave the wonder, flawless.

  • FROM SETTLEMENT TO DEATH - DR PAUL ENECHE

    "And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran." Genesis 11:31-32.

    Anytime you begin to settle, you begin to die.

    Our anchor Scripture gives a very pathetic story. Terah took his son, Abraham, and Lot, the son of Haran, his son and Sarai, his daughter in-law, Abraham’s wife, and they went forth from the Ur of Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan.

    But when they came to Haran, they settled there. And in Haran, Terah died.

    If they had continued to move forward, Terah would have lived, but the moment they settled, he died. Terah therefore, moved from settlement to death.

    You see, anytime you begin to settle, you begin to die. This death may not be only physical death. It may be spiritual or career death. It may be the death of destiny. When a person begins to settle instead of moving forward, he begins to die. Stagnation brings death. To refuse to move forward is to accept to die.

    But Abraham changed the narrative after his father’s death.

    Genesis 12:5 says:
    And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

    Abraham seemed to have said, “My father started a journey to go to Canaan, but when he came to Haran, he settled there and died. As for me, I am going to Canaan and I must reach the land of Canaan.”

    The truth is, you cannot reach where you have not chosen or decided to reach in life. Nobody can climb to the top and become the President of a country by accident. Nobody can reach the pinnacle of his career by accident. You don’t wake up one morning and begin to command satan, ‘Come out Satan,’ and Satan will come out. Imagine that! You wake up one morning and say, ‘Rise up and walk’ and lame people start walking. It does not happen by chance. It takes a decisive decision backed by orchestrated actions to reach your ordained destiny in life.

    Anytime you begin to settle, you begin to die.

    1. Refuse to settle in life.
    2. Always make attempts to move forward.

    Pray This Prayer:
    Lord, I ask that You deliver me from every tendency to settle down too early in life. I receive the grace to move forward always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

    NOTE THIS: Where there is premature contentment, there can be no ultimate fulfilment.
