Always remember that you so important to God. You are engraved in His palm and He is mindful of you every day of your life. No room for fear in your life because you get backing. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world. You are a winner always in the Name of Jesus Christ.

*YOUR RIGHT IMAGE IS IN GOD'S WORD*
_Bishop Mike Okonkwo_

*_“But we all, with open face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV)_*

Beloved, these are not the days to play church; the devil is out of the closet and on rampage because he knows the end is near. The Word of God is not a literary material, filled with poetry and prose. Jesus speaking in John 6:63 (MSG); “…Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making.” The Word of God is Spirit and Life, and it is your reality. You are who the Word of God says you are, and you have what the Word of God says you have. That is your reality and nothing else. You are not defined by the opinions of men, irrespective of how influential the person is. What God’s Word says about you is final.

Unfortunately, we see how the media are using their platforms to pervert the order that God established in the world, which began at creation. Today, all kinds of people and agencies are promoting things that are at variance with God’s Word, and consequently destroying innocent lives. Issues such as promoting homosexuality and LGBTQIA+ rights are mainstream now, and have become normalized in developed nations, and even developing nations are not left out. Sadly, little children, who by the constitution are not categorized as adults and should be under the care and guidance of parents and guardians, are manipulated to receive hormone therapy and undergo sex-transition surgeries, simply because somewhere through the influence of cartoons, movies and television shows, they have been told that they have the power to choose their gender. Hence the rise of labels such as “gender nonconformists” and the likes.

This is a fallout of the devil’s strategy to destroy mankind, because he hates that man bears God’s image and likeness. All over the world, we see these sponsored attacks from the pit of hell against God’s sovereignty, and as believers, we must discern the times we are in and live circumspectly.
The Bible says, like in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the last days. We are inching very close to the return of the Son of Man. What was it like in the days of Noah? Immorality and demonic activities were the order of the day Child of God, you cannot afford to allow the world to form your opinions direct the course of your life. The Word of God is your mirror; see yourself in it. It does not matter what your lecturer told you or what you read in a book or on the internet.

The last time I checked, the scripture says to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Beloved, Jesus is your perfect example; He is your life.

*_Daily confession_*
I delight myself in the Lord and He gives me the desires of my heart. I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety. I fear not, for the Lord has redeemed me. He has called me, by my name and I am His. When I pass through the waters, He will be with me; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow me. When I walk through the fire, the flame will not be kindled upon me (Psalms 37:4, Psalms 16: 8-9, Is. 43:1-7).

Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.

I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.

It is my day of *Rest!*

*HIS PRESENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE*
_Bishop Mike Okonkwo_

*_“But they said, “We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us; and let us make a covenant with you,’” (Genesis 26:28 NKJV)_*

The presence of God made a huge difference in the lives of the saints of old. Abimelech and Phicol said to Abraham, “God is with you in all that you do.” (Genesis 21:22)

Abimelech and his men also spoke similarly to Isaac; “We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you…” They could not ignore him. They came to court his favour because God was with him.

In the book of Joshua 1:5, God assured Joshua that He was going to be with him like he was with Moses. Of course, Joshua conquer ed the land! He was able to overcome his enemies, and his fame was noised abroad.

The key to a life of victory is knowing and understanding the reality of God being with you. The presence of God makes all the difference. Even people who do not want to hear about you will be forced to hear about you. When you understand this, it will positively affect your disposition to life, such that you will never be shortchanged, or allow the adversary take what belongs to you.

We live in a “dog-eat-dog” world, where the big dog wants to eat the small ones. People want to break your hands and take from you what belongs to you. Therefore, you must know understand what your “competitive edge” is and resolute about it, else you risk not being able to stand your ground against whatever opposition will come your way, because they will surely come. Beloved, if God be for you, who can be against you? The strategy of the devil is to make you doubt your identity and then turn around to destroy you.

If you do not know who is with you, you will be intimidated. How can you run with chariots and horses or take your place if you do not understand that you have a competitive edge against your adversary? Be conscious of His presence. That is what makes the difference.

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep my hearts and minds through Christ Jesus and whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, I will think on these things. (Phil 4:7-8)

I am strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. I’ll put on the whole amour of God that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For I wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. I am born of God and I have overcome the world: this is the victory that overcomes the world, my faith... thanks be to God, I have victory through Jesus Christ (Eph.6:10-12, 1Jn 5:4, 1 Corinth 15:57)

Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.

I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom.

*BE CONCIOUS OF GOD'S PRESENCE*
_Bishop Mike Okonkwo_

*_“But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” (Genesis 39:21 KJV)_*

If you check through the bible, you will discover that the key to Joseph’s success is that God was with him. He ended up in prison, but God showed him mercy and favour before the officials. The keeper of the prison committed to him all the prisoners that were in the prison, and he began to lead them because God was with him. The keeper of the prison did not need to bother about anything that was under Joseph’s supervision.

Joseph prospered and succeeded because God was with him. God gave him wisdom above others. No one was able to interpret the dream of Pharaoh. But because God was with him, he received the interpretation. However, not only did he receive the interpretation of the dream, he also proffered the right solution, which ultimately led to his promotion as the Prime Minister of Egypt.

Do you really know that God is with you? Beloved, it is high time that you are conscious of God’s presence with and in you. This will affect every aspect of your life. It is a knowing beyond anything else, regardless of what comes up against you. It is a knowing that gives you boldness in the face of evil, that God is with you. Romans 8:31 (NKJV) says, “…If God is for us, who can be against us?”

The believer’s edge is the presence of God. It grieves my heart that many of God’s children trust in fellow humans more than in God. Unfortunately, humans have a margin for failure, and the best of man is still man. Conversely, God has not, will not, and can never fail. You can depend on Him. In Genesis 28:15, God said to Jacob: “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (NKJV)

Beloved, Jacob succeeded because God was with him and he was conscious of it. There was no way he would fail. Despite Laban’s best tricks and schemes, he could not be stranded.

AS WE ENTER THE MONTH OF
JUNE:
Hosea 6:1-3 KJV
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD…and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

These are my prayers for you all my people this month:

1. As many as have experienced things on the negative side of life, the Lord heal you and bind you up.
2. ⁠May the Lord revive you in every area of your life.
3. ⁠ Where you are down May the Good Lord raise you up.
4. ⁠I speak life to every dead or dying area of your life.
5. ⁠May the Lord give you the former and later rain together in this same month.
With the former rain farmers plant. With the later rain they harvest. May the Lord grant you bountiful harvest this month.

JUST TWO THINGS:
1. Return to the Lord in every area of life.
2. ⁠Follow on to know the Lord.
God bless you real good is my prayer in Jesus’ name.
Baba Oke
