DON’T EXAGGERATE YOUR PROBLEM

1 John 5:4-5
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
NIV

To exaggerate is to stretch the truth by making something seem much larger, more extreme, or more important than it actually is. It involves overstating the facts, whether to make a story more dramatic, emphasize a point, increase fear and anxiety, provoke more empathy from others or for comedic effect.

Many people exaggerate their problems and blow them out of proportion, thereby creating fear and panic. It is important that you keep your thoughts clear when a challenge surfaces in your relationship, work, business and life. Do not panic. Do not allow fear to come into you. Do not exaggerate the situation. Pray it down and pray it up to God. See every challenge and problem through the eyes of a son of God who has been equipped by God to overcome any and every challenge that comes his way. See the problem through the eyes of God. See the problem from your position of authority in Jesus Christ. You are born an overcomer in Jesus Christ. Always tell yourself, that, “There is no problem that will come to me that I cannot win over through the life of Jesus that I have”.

The life of Jesus that you have is from above and it is higher than the normal human life. It is a life that sets man above all the problems and challenges of life. So, never panic when faced with a challenge for you are well equipped to overcome it.

John 3:31
31. "The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
NIV

Revelation 5:10
10. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
KJV

Exaggerating problems create fear and panic. It makes the brain to malfunction. It takes a faith filled heart and a relaxed and calm mind to think creatively on how to resolve an issue and solve a problem. Don’t change the facts of the issue. Keep it straight and accurate. Analyse with a clear, sincere and positive mind. Analyse bearing in mind that you are born in Jesus Christ a winner and an overcomer of challenges.

I pray for you that you will always see challenges and confrontations through the eyes of God and face them as a son of God with authority and power to win over them in Jesus name. May the peace of God keep your heart always in Jesus name.

DON’T BE LIKE THE HORSE OR THE MULE

Psalms 32:8-9
8. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. 9. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
NIV

Give attention to the word of God and respond positively to what God has communicated to you. God does not speak for the fun of speaking. He speaks because He wants His word (instruction) to be obeyed (followed, used, carried out, applied). He says only what He means and He means everything He says.

God wants to be part of our lives. He wants to partner with us so we don’t make mistakes that will cost us a lot of pain and bring shame and disgrace. He wants to guide us through life so we are not stressed or fall into traps the enemy has set for us. He wants to walk with us to victory, giving us protection and guidance along the way to destiny.

Psalms 23:1-4
1. A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
NIV

He has a purpose and plan for each person and He is in a better position to guide us through to it. He knows the way to where He is taking you. If you allow, Him, He will guide you to it.

What God wants is that each of us recognize His love, desire and willingness to guide and help us to success. He wants us to be sensitive to His voice, inspiration and leading and obey promptly as commanded or instructed. God does not want to use pain to get our attention. He wants us to respond in love and complete faith by obeying (putting to work) what He has instructed or communicated.

A BIT is a piece of metal or synthetic material that rests inside the mouth of a horse or mule. Connected to the reins and bridle, it acts as a vital communication tool, allowing the rider or driver to signal commands for speed, direction, and stopping.

How It Works
The bit sits gently on the "bars" of the mouth—the gap between the front teeth and the molars where there are no teeth. When the rider pulls or adjusts the reins, the bit applies pressure to highly sensitive areas like the tongue, lips, and bars. It gives the handler the physical leverage and control required to safely manage a large, powerful animal.

A BRIDLE is a specialized piece of headgear used to control, guide, and communicate with a horse or mule. It acts as a crucial communication tool, allowing a rider or driver to apply subtle pressure to the animal's head, nose, and mouth to signal changes in direction and speed

The Horse or mule only respond to pain that comes from the use of the bit and bridle.
God our Father does not want to use pain to get us to do what He wants. He wants us to respond willingly to His instructions and guidance. Pain is always the last resort for God. He wants willing obedience and not forced obedience.

Have the understanding not be like the horse or the mule. Respond to God always as His son.

Romans 8:14
14. because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
NIV

I pray that your heart will always, willingly, respond in obedience to any and every instruction or inspiration of the Father via the ministry of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

THE MAN OF VALOR || APOSTLE SYLVESTER ONYEMALECHI || 21- 06- 2026

21/06/2026

TURNING YOUR ADVERSITY INTO ADVANCEMENT

Rom.8: 28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
NIV

The key to turning your adversity into advancement is looking at it from God’s view point. No matter what may appear to be the cause, purpose to learn from it, and grow strong through it.

God uses adversity as a tool for imparting our lives and bringing about his purpose. His plans and purpose for each man will not delay, fail or be aborted. Whatever mistakes we make, the attacks of the enemy on us, or misfortunes that we experience cannot in any way thwart the plan and purpose of God for our lives.

Isaiah14: 24, 27
24 The LORD Almighty has sworn ‘surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand’… 27 For the LORD Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
NIV

Isaiah 46:9-11
9. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. 11. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.
NIV

The bad experiences of life do not thwart the plan and purpose of God in the life of the believer who loves God. So, whatever you go through or encounter will ultimately enrich your life. The devil or enemy may want to ruin your life or kill you, but God will use it to better you and bring you to the place of destiny and glory.

Trust that God is working and will certainly turn things around in your favour. See your challenge through the eyes of God and not that of man. Believe that the Father knows and is working and will not fail you. Believe you are coming out of that negative situation and you will reign and rule your world.

I pray that your mind will be totally renewed and that you will see and approach challenges with great faith and trust in God and win all your battles in Jesus name.

YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS

Psalms‬ ‭34:5‬
5. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
‭‭‭NIV‬‬

2 Corinthians‬ ‭2:14‬
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.
‭‭‭KJV‬‬

Victory is the portion of every believer. You need to believe this and rise above your challenge in faith that the Lord Jesus is with you and will never leave you to battle the enemy all by yourself. Always remember you are a son of God and bonded to Jesus through the new birth. You cannot be defeated by any circumstance of life except you submit to it.

1 John 5:4
4. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
NIV

Romans 8:37
37. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
NIV

You are more than a conqueror. You are from above and above all the problems of this world. You are no longer under the dominion of darkness. You are no longer under the dominion of sin because you are not under the law but under grace. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world. You are a champion, a king to reign in this life. Do not fear or panic when your faith is under fire. Take the heat and overcome the devil behind the challenge and the challenge itself. Do not panic. Do not worry but trust the Lord with all your heart and He will see you through and make you victorious. Don’t just read this and agree it is true, but believe it and work with it now and always. Remain victorious in Jesus Christ!

Be victory minded always and walk in victory daily in Jesus name.

BREAKOUT

2 Cor 6:17-18
17 "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." 18 "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
NIV

To breakout is to run away, run off, escape, and break free from something or some people, to getaway, or take to flight.
To breakout is to part or divide by force and violence, as a solid substance from an evil lifestyle or habit that is injurious to your relationship with God and man. It is to rend apart from all ungodliness and evil association.

To breakout is to violate, as a contract or promise, either by a positive act contrary to the promise, or by neglect or non-fulfillment. You must breakout from all evil covenants with the devil and occult. Cut all ties with any cult you are involved with. Violate every law that they gave you, as you surrender to Jesus Christ to be saved and upheld. Submit yourself for deliverance prayers so you can be completely free to serve the Lord.

To Breakout is to infringe or violate, as a law, or any moral obligation, either by a positive act or by an omission of what is required of you by your own evil group or associates. Violate all ancestral, traditional laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Bible. You can’t be subject to two kingdoms at the same time. If it is God, follow Him, if it is the spirit of your ancestors you want, follow them. I counsel you to follow Jesus Christ faithfully.

To breakout is to stop, to interrupt, to cause to cease, as, to break conversation, or a manner of speech. You have to breakout from gossiping, lying, slander, deception, fraud, and all manner of rough and evil language now.

To breakout is to separate, to part, as, to break company of friendship. There are some people you must separate from to be what God called you in Christ Jesus to become. Some are weak in faith and commitment because of the wrong company they are keeping.

To breakout is to separate, as, to break up a company. It is to disband a group. Separate from the wrong people you are close to and disband your close association or union with them. Why live with a woman or man you are not married to? Why be unequally yoked with an unbeliever? Disband, separate and break evil friendships and unions and reform your life to the glory of God.

To breakout is to dissolve any union. It is to break off a connection with a particular person of group of persons who have been of negative influence on you, or have brought you a lot of pain and misfortune in the past. Until Lot left Abraham, Abraham couldn’t see all that God has prepared for him. There are some people in your life that must leave you for you to enter into the rest of God and advance in your life to become whom God destined you to be. Do not keep relationship that God desperately wants to kill in your life. This is the time to identify these relationships and kill them.

To breakout is to cause to abandon, to reform or cause to reform, as, to break evil habits or practices. You must break from all evil habits and reform your life to measure up to the standard of God. Abandon smoking for it is injurious to your health. Abandon alcoholism for it is a money and life waster. It brings disgrace. Abandon all your immoral relationships and stay faithful to your spouse. Abandon premarital s*x and be loyal to Jesus Christ your Saviour. Abandon the life of malice and bitterness and reform to become a forgiving person who keeps no record of wrongs. Break all evil habits and character that mars your testimony in Christ. Determine that you will be better from now onwards.

I pray that you will take a stand and breakout from what the Holy Spirit has been impressing in your heart to break free from in Jesus name. Receive courage to break out now in Jesus name.

DON’T DISCONNECT FROM GOD BECAUSE OF A CHALLENGE

Rom 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
NIV

Stay with God and His word. Do not allow your experience to make you turn away from God. Whatever God allows to happen in your life will definitely bring you good somehow. You may not see the good in the present trouble, but, much later, you will know why and thank God for allowing you go through what you went through.

If Joseph had not been envied by his brothers, they would not have sold him to slavery. If they had not sold him to slavery, he would not have gone to Egypt or entered Potiphar’s house. If he had not known Potiphar, he would not have gained experience in leadership and administration, or chased by Potiphar’s wife, or gone to prison for refusing her. If he didn’t go to prison, he would not have known he had the gift of interpretation of dreams and he would not have met Pharaoh’s chief bottler to interpret his dream. If he had not interpreted the dream for him, he would not have been remembered when Pharaoh had a dream that the magicians and astrologers could not interpret. At the end, he became the prime minister of Egypt to save the Jews and other nations.

You can see how one bad experience led to another and all working towards the accomplishment of the revealed plan of God for his life. Relax in trouble times for God is in control. All things will eventually work out for your own good.

I pray that you will see challenges through the eyes of God and see God bringing you to a greater and better place in Jesus name.

THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS YOURS

Deut 30:19
19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
NIV

John 3:16
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
NIV

The choice is always yours. Every decision you make is your choice. Whatever you decide, God is not to be blamed for the consequences of your action. If you decide for the right things, you get the blessings and life. You decide against God’s desire for your life, you get the curses and frustrations of life. He always make things plain and easy to understand, then, He will encourage you in what is the best choice for you; But you do the choosing and deciding. So, you can’t blame God for what follows your decision. You can’t blame any other person close or far away from you either. Everyone that speaks into your life offers their own opinion and suggestions, but you are the decision maker. You alone take responsibility for your decisions. Even when your mind is poisoned against another, you will be held responsible for choosing to believe that person. There is no excuse. That is why you must be careful who you listen to, what you listen to, and judge all things by the Spirit of God, so that you can reach the right conclusions leading to right decisions.

Adam tried to escape judgment by shifting the blame to Eve. Eve did the same by shifting it to the Serpent. God punished the Serpent, Eve and Adam. No one escaped. God told Adam that he was being punished because he chose to listen to his wife rather than take heed to the word of God to him. Take heed unto the word of God that you hear and read. Let the word guide you in all your decisions in Jesus name.

I pray you make right decisions from today based on the truth of God’s word in Jesus name. Never allow your emotions to decide for you. Be led by the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s word in Jesus name.
