*WEDNESDAY 7TH OCTOBER, 2026*

🩸I am bold to say the same things that God has said concerning me in His word. That's what takes me beyond salvation to enjoying my in-Christ realities.

🩸GLORY! I affirm that in Christ, I am mightily helped of the Lord! My life is characterized by grace; God has lavished His fullness on me, such that brings favour, prosperity, promotion, health, wealth and supernatural increase! My life is anchored in the finished work of CHRiSt, hence, I run through troops, leaping over walls; the systems of this world are beaten down before me. My life is for the glory of God and I'm equipped to fulfil the Father's purpose for my life.
🩸GLORY! I affirm that I Know who and whose I am in CHRiSt. The Lord is my light and my salvation; the strength of my life that makes me bold and courageous at all times! In Him, am shielded permanently, sustained under His mighty arm of protection; fully assured that He's my firm foundation, the rock on which I stand; my refuge and my fortress, hence, I cannot sink in life. In Him, I live, move and have my being.
🩸GLORY! I affirm that I believe and receive all that I require for a fruitful and much more results. My feet are steadied in God's path; I never slide or stray away from God's preordained path for me. My eyes are firmly focused on my vision, aspirations; His glory and power are my support system. My hands steadied on the plough of my calling and His will. My mind is secured from wrong choices, decisions, words and actions. I receive miracles of healing, provision, direction, preservation and favour. Surely, my vigor is doubled up for great impact. I find favour, lifting, peace, prosperity and increase. There's no giving up on my pursuits as I am steadily granted direction beyond the ordinary. GLORY! I AM A WINNER ON EVERY COUNT.

*TOPIC: CELEBRATE YOUR ETERNAL SALVATION 2*

*“And she will have a son and you shall name Him Jesus (meaning Saviour), for He will save His people from their sins”* (Matthew 1:21 Living Bible)

The entire framework of the Bible is salvation; salvation is the thread that runs through the entire Bible. This is affirmed in 2 Tim 3:15 that says, *“And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures,which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”* Salvation is the theme of the Bible and nobody can have a personal opinion about the subject of salvation. The bible is the only evidence we have as touching the matter of salvation. So to understand salvation, you ought to search the scriptures as Jesus said in John 5:39 *"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me"*. Therefore, it's point blank that if you don’t understand salvation, it'll be hard to understand Christianity. Our theme text in simple term explains why Jesus came - to save. You will never appreciate the sacrificial work of Christ except you have an in-depth understanding of the work of salvation. Actually, the name "JESUS" in Hebrew literally means “SAVIOUR” (Yeshua).
Salvation is the Greek "Soteria"; it means “a deliverance", "to rescue from”, "to preserve from”. It implies to deliver and kept in a safe place. Two Greek words make up the word “Soteria"; "soter" which means the savior and “Sozo” which means “save”, “rescue” or “deliver”. It therefore means that for there to be salvation, there must be a saviour. So salvation is about someone’s work that saves another. Salvation deals with sin; salvation is to be delivered from sin and be kept in a safe place where there’s no sin. Now, if you are a believer, you ought to be rejoicing and celebrating because you can never be condemned; you’re far above sin. Isn't that something to celebrate? In John 16:33, Jesus said, *"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"*. The above words from our Lord authenticates His salvation. Meaning, Christianity isn't immunity from troubles and challenges rather it's absolute security against falling at or getting defeated by it. Notice Jesus' words, "I have overcome the world". We are identified in Jesus' victory over the storms of life. He didn't ask us to sow a seed to overcome. He didn't ask us to connect to "uncommon grace" upon your man of God. All God did and does for us in His son are freely given. Rom. 8:32 *"He that spared not his own Son,but delivered him up for us all,how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"* The Spirit unveils this to us. 1 Corinth 2:12 *"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.]"* Isn't this worth celebrating?
He won't inspire anyone to ask you to do anything whatsoever to get Jesus to give you what He did freely. Rather,the Spirit inspires us in the epistles via instructions to act on the Victory of Christ. We have victory through Christ's work. We don't fight to win; we fight the good fight of faith. We insist by our confession and action that it is DONE. We pray and receive because it's ours, it's DONE. Jesus only gives one instruction in John 16:33, "BE OF GOOD CHEER". In other words,be happy, cheer up, celebrate, rejoice. Phil 4:4 *"Rejoice in the Lord alway:and again I say, Rejoice"*. Why? 2 Corinth 2:14 *"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place"*. We are triumphant in Him. Now, rejoicing is an activity; it's not passive. Jesus practiced it. Luke 10: 21 *"[In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit,and said,] I thank thee,O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so,Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight"*. He jumped up,twirled around, laughed, ran. He was full of Joy. Rejoice because you are immune from defeat. You can NOT be defeated.

*REFERENCES: Eph 6:10-18;1 Peter 2:9*

*PRAYER: I rejoice about my salvation daily*

🧲 GLORY, I affirm that I am alive unto God in my Spirit, hence my entire being is sound and daily vitalized by the Holy Ghost. I am an embodiment of Good's blessings and a vessel separated unto Him to showcase the beauty and the splendour of the gospel. I affirm that, the word of God in my mouth is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, filled with divine energy to turn around negative situations. The Lord has set me on high!

🧲Glory! I am impregnable to anything that hurts or binds, because I am found in Christ, blessed and fortified in Him.

*TOPIC: CELEBRATE YOUR ETERNAL SALVATION 1*

*"I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation"*(Psalms 118:21)

While reflecting on our topic of study for today, this old song to my mind: "What the Lord has done for me,I cannot tell it all (3 times); He saved me and washed me in His blood; So I can shout hallelujah (2ce); So I can shout, praise the Lord". If believers understand so great salvation they have in Christ, they will live daily celebrating and rejoicing. Most believers seem to celebrate their worldly attainments than their salvation in Christ. This is wrong. The Bible says in 1 Tim 6: 5-8 *"Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content"*. Having worldly attainments isn't wrong but rejoicing over them more than things that have eternal value is wrong. We should be reminded of David: Psalm 51:12 *"Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;and uphold me with thy free spirit"*. David wanted to experience the joy of salvation. He had attained the aim of many men,a kingdom, wealth, fame, family, global influence. Yet he found no true joy in all these. It's important to note that the context of this request was desire for the forgiveness of sins. This he said earlier in Psalm 32:1-2 *"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile"*.
Certainly, David's joy and proper definition of blessedness was never material but God's gift of righteousness, that is, the remission of sins. Anyone can rejoice over a new house,a baby born, marriage, house, fame, wealth and even good health. But it takes faith in Christ to celebrate/rejoice over forgiveness of sins. Luke 7:47 *"Wherefore I say unto thee,Her sins,which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,the same loveth little"*. Over rejoicing when you get something from God isn't the true Gospel. John 16:22 *"And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice,and your joy no man taketh from you"*. Joy in the resurrection of Christ, which is our salvation. 1 Corinth 15:17 *"And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain;ye are yet in your sins"*. The joy the apostles had was to suffer for His Name. Acts 5:41 *"And they departed from the presence of the council,rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name"*. Acts 13:52 *"And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost"*. They were full of it and this was inspite of very odd circumstances and not to change the circumstances!
Paul taught the Philippians this: *"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice"*(Phil 4:4). This was a church that was going through persecutions. Phil 1: 28-30 *"And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition,but to you of salvation,and that of God. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ,not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Having the same conflict which ye saw in me,and now hear to be in me"*. This is joy in the Holy Ghost. Peter taught same. 1 Peter 1:8 *"Whom having not seen, ye love;in whom, though now ye see him not,yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory"*. Not joy to get a new house or for miracles. Now, let's see the pretext: 1 Peter 1:6-7 *"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season,if need be,ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ"*. They expressed joy even in the midst of trials. This was David's joy - Jesus's joy. Luke 10:21 *"In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said,I thank thee,O Father,Lord of heaven and earth,that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,and hast revealed them unto babes:even so,Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight"*. The joy in the book of Acts, taught in the epistles,is the joy of salvation. Forgiveness of sins, joy of suffering for the Gospel. This is true joy. The most important thing in your life as a believer is your salvation. There's no worldly accomplishment that can compare to it.

*REFERENCES: Matt 1:21;2 Tim 3:15*

*PRAYER: I celebrate the Salvation I have in Christ.*

*MONDAY 5TH OCTOBER, 2026*

*TOPIC: CONTENTMENT IS GODLINESS 4*

*"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature"* (Mark 16: 15)

We are to see to it that the Gospel is taught in more places by more men; and also to support believers who genuinely have needs. The epistles warn against supporting laid back believers. 2 Thess 3: 10 *"For even when we were with you,this we commanded you,that if any would not work,neither should he eat"*. Not even all widows should be supported (1 Tim 5:9). Today's ministry still needs “Peter's boat“ for others to hear it. This could be houses, event centers, lands, tents, buildings. Also satellite stations, books etc. to fulfill the the mandate: "go ye". Matt. 28:19 *"Go ye therefore,and teach all nations...."*. A crucial detail here might be easily lost. It is MEN who preach the Gospel not material resources,or money! The material resources are only helpful where and if the men are available to teach and men they reach; men to give and support(believers)in the case of the poor. So the Gospel needs men than money, the money is actually for the men. A ministry should place it's focus here. Jesus discipled men for the work of ministry,then material support was to aid the work and it's workers. When I see young ministers follow the pattern of raising funds as priority,it is nothing short of monetizing the ministry. We are to raise men who know and can teach the Gospel, and will give their all for it. That’s what Jesus did,even Paul too. 2 Tim 2:2 *"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses,the same commit thou to faithful men,who shall be able to teach others also"*.
Thus, the proof of ministry is men and the fruit of ministry is ministry. Not the reach of your satellite station or the size of building. Secular organizations have such goals. After all, CNN has more reach than all Christian stations put together. Coca Cola has more followers than any church. Movie and music stars have more social media following than almost any preacher. So media presence must not be the goal as it isn’t proof of any thing. It's important to know that the men are not to be hurriedly placed over people. No quick appointment which Paul warned against. 1 Tim 3:6 *"Not a novice,lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil"*. He must be a very experienced believer - able to teach and one who knows the Gospel and lives it. 1 Tim 5:22 *"Lay hands suddenly on no man,neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure"*. Don’t appoint quickly. 1 Tim 3:14-15 *"These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:But if I tarry long,that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God,which is the church of the living God,the pillar and ground of the truth"*. The context here was ordination of leaders. Rather than laboring to acquire buildings, exquisite facilities, labour to train men. Col 4:12 *"Epaphras,who is one of you,a servant of Christ,saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers,that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God"*. Intense prayer. Gal 4:19 *"My little children,of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you"*. Travail!
Labour on the Word,ensure they are trained,tutored, discipled, such that they are no longer vulnerable to falsehood but strong in the faith(2 Tim 3:10, 14; Eph 4:12-14). Such men know how to endure and suffer! 2 Tim 2:3-4 *"Thou therefore endure hardness,as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier"*. This is discipleship. Not boasting that such men under you are now millionaires. Making millionaires, getting married etc happens because of what men do It's not peculiar to Christians. Don’t get your priorities mixed up. Jesus didn’t have such testimonies hence,you should and must not. Endeavour to keep your eyes on the ball as the ministry is for and about men. Don’t attempt to fulfill your own desires for fame or wealth while using the congregation as your collateral. It’s evil. Focus on the message. 1 Tim 1:11 -12 *"According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,which was committed to my trust. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry"*. Your message must be what the apostles taught only - The gospel, not what people want(2 Tim 4: 2). You can’t raise disciples for Christ using your own ideas, else they are your own disciples not His.

*REFERENCES:1 Tim 3:10; Eph 4:12-14*

🔔I am bold to say the same things that God has said concerning me in His word. That's what takes me beyond salvation to enjoying my in-Christ realities.

🔔GLORY! I declare that I am born of God, full of the life of divinity. Therefore it is impossible for me to go down nor stay down. The mercy of God is the secret of my exemption and advantage. Daily, I am propelled in the direction of God’s perfect will and plan for me, therefore, I boldly declare that my future is secure in Christ! The Spirit of God has granted me the resources, ideas, insight and opportunities to do unthinkable things and achieve unimaginable feats in life. I am of the Kingdom of light, and of God’s dear son where I reign with Christ and rule by the power of the Spirit! Irrespective of the tribulation, distress, persecution or peril in this world, I am more than a conqueror through Christ that loved me. It’s impossible to go down, nor be stranded, irrespective of what’s happening around me. I know who I am; I am a fenced city, an iron pillar and a brazen wall against the kingdom of darkness. Hence, they keep fighting against me but they cannot prevail because my God is with me to deliver me.
🔔GLORY! I affirm that in Christ, I have the life of God in me; His glory and righteousness are daily expressed through me. I am blessed and a blessing to my world. Everywhere I go, I exude the sweet-smelling savour of Christ, hence I am seen, I am heard, I am paid attention to and I am reckoned with. I declare that in Christ, I am a walking, moving, talking god; no devil can influence my life, ministry, job, family negatively. Because God’s life and ability is at work in me, I can do all things, achieve all things, excel in all things and succeed in all things - through Christ who strengthens me. I can never be disadvantaged in life because of His fullness have I receive, grace for grace. This week, I will enjoy unending, overflowing stream of God's favour and blessings. I walk in victory, I walk in glory and I walk in dominion, by the power of the Holy Ghost. I am who God says I am; I have what He says I have and I can do what He says I can do. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, therefore the devil cannot mess with life or my family.
🔔GLORY! I declare that this week, God has made a way for me, where there was no way. I receive help on all sides, recognition without effort and acceptance without struggle. This week, people help me without hesitation. I walk into rooms I don’t qualify for, occupy positions I didn’t campaign for, and handle successes I cannot explain. This week, mercy announces my presence, and preserves my relevance. This week, favour will make it my turn before it is my time. Favour will cause me to achieve easily what others are struggling to achieve for years; favour will give to me permanently what others experience temporarily. This week, favour will do for me what money cannot do for the rich;favour will give me unconditionally, what others require conditions to get. This week, bad news is far from me and my family. We are miles ahead of the wicked. Nothing terrifies us because God's mercy is our hiding place. Our steps won't slide; confusion and indecision are far from us; anxiety, worry, fear and instability won't happen to us. All our needs in this house are met supernaturally. GLORY! I AM A WINNER ON EVERY COUNT.

*TOPIC: CONTENTMENT IS GODLINESS 3*

*"...Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth"*(Luke 12: 15).

One of the wisest counsels I have ever received and have endeavoured to keep is: "never put money first because many have lost their ministry because of money". Earlier in this series we said the meaning of contentment is to learn to say no to yourself. That is, drawing a line over your own desires, even as a ministry. Most of what we slave,crave and thirst to acquire are merely to satisfy others, because often our basic needs are far less. Many times this is to please a crowd that can never be pleased. Having an endless crave to acquire things will leave you unfulfilled. So you must cut the chase and say NO to yourself because *"...we brought nothing into this world,and it is certain we can carry nothing out... But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition"*(1 Tim 6:7,9). Lack of contentment will push you into competition which Paul warned against. 2 Corinth 10: 12 *"For we dare not make ourselves of the number,or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves,and comparing themselves among themselves,are not wise"*. It is devilish and the outcome is what James taught. James 3:14-16 *"But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,glory not,and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above,but is earthly, sensual,devilish. For where envying and strife is,there is confusion and every evil work"*. It will hurt you, your ministry and members. Following God might be slow, but it's steady and fulfilling.
There's no need for the "rat race" which eventually leads to no where. You will die sad because you ran a race not meant for you. What really matters eventually won't be all you killed yourself over. Hear Paul: 2 Tim 4:7 *"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,I have kept the faith"*. This is all that will matter at the end of your life and ministry. Some people say, "More money more ministry" - this is commonly believed by some. They maybe thinking like Simon Magus. Acts 8:18-19 *"And when Simon sawa that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying,Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost"*. To such folks, money will do everything. No doubt, the work of the ministry needs material support. In Jesus' ministry people's gave their boats,homes etc. to minister to others as He went everywhere to preach,teach and heal. Luke 8:2-3 *"And certain women,which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,Mary called Magdalene,out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward,and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance"*.
When He sent His disciples, He asked them to receive support too(Matt 10: 10,14). This was because they abandoned everything for this particular assignment. Mark 10: 28-30 *"Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo,we have left all,and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said,Verily I say unto you,There is no man that hath left house,or brethren,or sisters,or father, or mother,or wife, or children,or lands,for my sake,and the gospel's,But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,houses, and brethren,and sisters, and mothers,and children,and lands, with persecutions;and in the world to come eternal life"*. Sadly, this text has been used for "sowing seeds“ rather than for sacrificial giving of ones life to go away from his family,work etc, to other places to preach. It’s clear that the priority for material resources in Jesus’ ministry was to preach the Gospel, support the men, which includes the minister, feed/support the poor. This was replicated in the book of Acts and the epistles (Gal 6:6;1 Tim 5:17-18;1 Corinth 16:1). It appears the support was mainly for believers, though there’s no suggestion that giving to the non believers is wrong, but the teaching was for giving to believers. They gave us the faith, we should follow them and make our priorities same. Thus, a ministry of the word will solicit for material resources for mainly the above reasons - The Word first, then support for the needy. This must be the same today. We shouldn't start raising funds which have nothing to do with these in the name of Jesus. It’s not the apostolic pattern.

🥎I am bold to say the same things that God has said concerning me in His word. That's what takes me beyond salvation to enjoying my in-Christ realities.

🥎GLORY! I affirm that in CHRiSt I was created for God's purpose and will; and for His reason I was raised; in Christ I came in the volume of the book, separated and consecrated to bear His light to the dying world. I am a burning and a shining light; my light shines brightly before men, that they may see, and glorify my Father which is in heaven. I am exceptional, the intensity of my light dazzle and discomfit Satan, his demons and the negative works of darkness. Men are inspired and lifted out of the claws of darkness, to praise and glorify my heavenly Father, as they see and experience my good works - my works of righteousness. I am overwhelmed by the zeal of my Father's house.
🥎 GLORY! I affirm that I will never walk in confusion or uncertainty; for the eyes of my understanding are enlightened through God’s Word. I know what tomorrow holds for me because I daily enjoy divine leading and perception. I am in sync with the Spirit of God, and I know the mind of God concerning me. I have insight into the revelation of Christ; the Spirit of God is alive in me, that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is at work on the inside of me; thus, my entire being is vitalized by the Holy Ghost. I can never have a down day because Jesus is the Lord of my life and the Holy Spirit has made His abode in me. Hallelujah. I am exalted in every area of my life.
🥎GLORY! I affirm that in Christ I'm set on the right course in life. Nothing is impossible with me because my life is the story and testimony of God's grace. I am sufficient in Christ's sufficiency! I keep prevailing through Christ who energizes and infuses me with miracle-working ability!I hereby boast in this grace wherewith I stand; that no evil, enchantment nor manipulation can prosper in my life; and it doesn't matter how harsh the economic situation of the world, I keep florishing because my case is different. Surely, when men are cast down, I will say there is a lifting up for me. Only the grace of God overwhelms me this year. I am fearless and unstoppable; the Lord continues to disappoint the devices of the crafty, and their hands do not perform their enterprise GLORY! I AM A WINNER ON EVERY COUNT.
