DON'T CROSS PATH WITH THE DESTOYER

Years ago, a deadly outbreak swept through a city. People were dying daily. The fear in the air was thick, and everyone asked, “Who is next?” But in prayer, the Lord told His servant: “They may not know who is next, but they know who is not next. You are not next.” That word became a shield. It kept God’s people safe from the destroyer.

Friend, don't cross path with the destoyer. Your safety in this world is tied to the Word of God in your mouth (Psalm 17:4). In this kingdom, we don’t confess what we see. We declare what we want to see. Your situation is not stronger than your confession. God gave us His Word for dominion. A closed mouth leads to a closed destiny.

Three things can bring destruction to a person: the attack of the devil, the schemes of men, and your own mistakes. To live in safety this season, you must place all three under the authority of God’s Word. You must speak God’s verdict over every situation until it overrides what the enemy is saying.

There is the path of the destroyer, and there is the path of the blesser (Psalm 17:4, Hebrews 7:1,7). Many people wander into the path of the destroyer without knowing. Failure happens when your path crosses the destroyer. Success happens when your path crosses the blesser. Choose your path with your words.

You must learn to use God’s Word to shape your reality. Salvation is by grace, but safety is by the Word. When your confession contradicts the covenant, you block what God wants to do for you (Isaiah 54:17). Put Scripture on your lips daily. Speak life, health, and protection until it becomes your experience.

In times like these, what you say about your God matters most (Psalm 91:2). It doesn’t matter what the economy or politics look like. Is He your healer? Say it. Is He your Defender? Say it. Is He your Shepherd? Say it. Is He your Provider? Say it. The devil fears your testimony. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so (Psalm 107:2)! Amen.

THE POWER OF HOPE

I once heard about a medical research involving patients with the same terminal illness at the same stage. The doctors gave each of them a notebook to write plans for the next 10 years, then watched them over time. They discovered something striking. Those who wrote clear plans lived longer than those who had none. That study revealed the power of hope.

Friend, have you discovered the power of hope? You cannot rise above the level of hope you carry (Psalm 42:11). As long as a person has hope, life and the devil cannot finish them. Anything, anyone, or any activity that gives you hope must be prioritized. Stay away from voices and conversations that paint pictures of hopelessness (Hosea 2:15, Joel 3:14).

The vision God has given you will help you live with optimism (Habakkuk 2:1-4). Sometimes, it’s not about achieving the vision immediately. It’s about having something to wake up for. It’s about having a reason to live each day. That is why idle people age fast. Vision keeps a man alive. It moves God to sustain you, and it tells your body not to shut down (Psalm 103:1-5).

The Word of God supplies hope (Psalm 119:49). That is why the devil fights your Bible study. When you see God’s promises and plans for you in Scripture, you find fresh reasons to live. The thoughts of God toward you are written in His Word. They are thoughts of good and not evil, to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

The church of God also supplies hope. People often slip into hopelessness when they abandon the gathering of believers (Hebrews 10:25). We are commanded to encourage one another daily. In times of economic hardship, political instability, and insecurity, the church becomes a voice of encouragement. That is why you must not join in attacking pastors and churches (Jeremiah 3:15).

Hope is the foundation of faith (Hebrews 11:1). A hopeless man is a faithless man. Hope gives you something to expect. When you act on that expectation, faith is birthed. If your faith seems weak, check your hope. Put your hope in God, in His Word, in the future He showed you, and in the vision He gave you. You will soon testify (Romans 5:5). Rejoice!

HIGHER LIFE BEFORE BETTER LIFE

A young minister once sat with a father of faith. The father asked, “Son, what’s your vision for this city?” He answered, “We will take charge of the spiritual and economic climate of this city.” The father replied, “You cannot do both at the same time. The way to control the economy is to first take your place in the spirit.” It is higher life before better life.

Friend, go for a higher life before a better life. Really, the way to take cities and territories is to take your place in the realm of the spirit (Psalm 110:1-3). When we say “the spiritual controls the physical,” it is not a cliché. It is reality. Those who chase the physical at the expense of the spiritual often lose both. You cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24).

Taking territories begins by confronting the forces ruling those territories. There are princes in localities called principalities. Until you deal with them, you won’t make a lasting impact there (Daniel 10:12-13). These powers shape the political and economic climate of places. They demand submission through platforms and systems (Ephesians 6:12).

God will first make you big in the spirit before He gives you a platform among men (Genesis 32:28). While you pursue a better life, God’s goal is for you to have a higher life. Higher life is spiritual dominion that eventually produces a better life (Deuteronomy 32:13). If you have a better life without a higher life, you become a victim of the forces in your environment.

Higher life is built through prayer and capacity (Jude 1:20, Revelation 4:1). It sharpens your sensitivity and accuracy. You see things as they truly are. You gain mastery over the forces around you. Higher life has a price. Like digging wells, it may look like nothing is happening now. But it is what will later sustain your life and relevance (John 4:12).

Whatever God plans to give you in this life, the devil can also offer you (Luke 4:5-8). If the enemy wants to steal your future, he will try to give you today what God planned for tomorrow. Like Jesus, you must come to the place where you know that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word from the mouth of God (Luke 4:4). Go for a higher life. That is how to take territories.

GO THE EXTRA MILE

We usually have a quarterly program in our ministry where people gather for teachings, prayers, and impartation. I often start my ministration with this line: "This program is for extra-milers." I use it to remind people that growth demands more than average effort. We are called to always go the extra mile.

Friend, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the extra (Daniel 1:20). Unfortunately, not many people are willing to give that extra to life and to their endeavors. This is why we have more mediocrities than excellent people today. An average person gives less than required and then complains that life is unfair (Song of Solomon 1:6).

Life was not designed to be fair, especially to loafers. The way to gain an unfair advantage is to go the extra mile (Proverbs 22:29). When you choose that path, you will soon notice you are leaving people behind. It only takes a little extra effort to stand out, and that extra demands stretching beyond the normal (2 Kings 9:24).

Some believers have not prayed beyond a certain limit since they gave their lives to Christ. That is why they have not entered the deeper waters of destiny (Ezekiel 47:1-5). The encounter you desire with God is tied to going the extra mile in prayer and devotion. Even Jesus went a little further at Gethsemane with His disciples. He went beyond the normal (Matthew 26:36-39).

Leadership is about going the extra mile. Anyone who does more than is required becomes the leader, title, or not (1 Samuel 16:11-13). If you look around, you can tell who will stand out tomorrow by what they do today. They arrive early, beat deadlines, study more, give more, pray more, and work more (1 Corinthians 15:10). What about you?

Do you give life more than is required, or just barely enough? Most times, barely enough will not be enough (Matthew 25:1-9). Life happens. Seasons change. People change. If you train yourself to go the extra mile, you will always meet the demands of life. Like Jesus, go through the baptism that will announce you to your generation (Matthew 3:13-17).

PURPOSE OR PLEASURE?

After being announced as the State President of NCCF that year, I gave myself to fasting and prayer. In the middle of that season, a respected father in the faith invited all newly appointed excos for lunch at one of the finest hotels in the city. I was faced with a choice: break my fast or miss the meal. I put purpose before pleasure.

Friend, are you going to pursue pleasure at the expense of purpose? There will come a point in your walk with God where you must choose between comfort and calling. Between enjoyment and assignment. Between good and God (Luke 4:1-4). These are defining moments. Heaven is watching how we respond (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Some things are not sin, but they can still stop your destiny. For Daniel, eating the king’s meat was not a sin. But it would have compromised God’s plan for his life (Daniel 1:8). In choosing purpose over pleasure, you realize that some things are not wrong in themselves. But you have chosen to live by a higher standard (1 Corinthians 6:12-13).

Maturity is choosing between good and God (Hebrews 5:14). The test is rarely "evil vs good." The real test is "good vs God" (John 6:15). If you are still arguing whether something is a sin or not, you are still operating as a baby in the faith. Something may not be sinful but is not chosen for you.

Never trade the ultimate for the immediate. Don’t let your stomach become your god (Philippians 3:19). Don’t let what you eat eat up your destiny. Hunger for food, s*x, money, and power are legitimate hunger placed in us by God. But you must manage them properly.

For many, the hunger for God has been replaced by hunger for temporary things (Psalm 63:1-3). They have traded the eternal for the mundane. Like Esau, they sold their birthright for porridge (Genesis 25:29-34, Hebrews 12:16). Like David, they allowed one moment of pleasure to affect their destiny (2 Samuel 11:1-5). Learn to put purpose before pleasure.

COME UNDER THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP

When the so-called "Sheepy" slang became popular a while ago, I wondered why people would easily give in to that distraction from hell. I thought people should know that they cannot be smarter than Jesus, who called us sheep. I taught that we are not called sheep because we are stupid, but because we follow leadership.

Friend, we are not called sheep because we are stupid, but because we follow leadership. The greatest need of man is leadership (Matthew 9:36). God often solves the problems of people by giving them the right leaders (Jeremiah 3:15). Everything rises and falls on leadership.

No matter how bad things might seem, when you come under the right leadership flow and align properly, things begin to take a new turn (1 Samuel 22:2). If the problem of those multitudes in the days of Jesus was not just hunger or nakedness but leadership, then you can rest assured that the same is the need of this age (Matthew 9:35-37).

The devil will always fight the right leadership in your life so that he can gain access. Right leadership puts the devil at bay, whereas the absence of leadership is an open invitation to the enemy in and around your life. (Acts 20:28-32). You need to come under the right leadership.

Let Jesus be your Lord, not just your Saviour; let Him direct your life and affairs (Psalm 23:1-6, Matthew 11:28-30). Let the Holy Spirit have His way in your life. This is the proof of sonship (Genesis 6:3, Romans 8:14, Ephesians 4:30). Come under the right Church leadership; this may be the answer to your confusion and frustration.

There is a green pasture where God has planted you (Psalm 68:6, 92:13). You need to get out from under whatever wrong influence you might have been under and locate yourself in God and in the right leadership. We are not called sheep because we are stupid. We are called sheep because we follow leadership (John 10:27). Never forget this!

WHO DID I MARRY?

A young man ran to his pastor, furious. “My wife is a witch! She’s devil-sent! She’s ruining my life!” Nothing could calm him down. The pastor asked one simple question: “Did you marry her as a witch?” He went quiet. Then, the pastor began to teach him how to understand the woman he actually married.

Friend, who did you marry? Many people wake up in marriage to a person they don’t recognize (Genesis 29:25). Not because their spouse changed overnight. But because there were truths they never saw and weren’t prepared for. Let’s be honest: People rarely change. Most times, you’re just discovering who they’ve always been (John 2:24).

Don’t marry a stranger (Proverbs 5:20). It’s shocking how many people say “I know him” after a few times at a restaurant. Marriage is not built on assumptions (Proverbs 7:7). You don’t enter it blind, hoping you will “figure each other out” along the way.

You can’t read people like a book. It takes time, real-life situations, and divine revelation to truly know someone (Jeremiah 17:9-10). You can’t judge a person by one environment. People behave differently at church, at work, and at home (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). The devil himself can look like an angel of light when he wants to.

Test people in different seasons (John 6:66). Don’t only know her at work. Know her in her home. In her community. With her family. Don’t meet someone abroad and commit without doing your homework (1 Kings 11:1-6). Who is he when no one is watching? Who is she when things don’t go her way? How much of his past do you know?

You need God to reveal people to you (Deuteronomy 29:29). Sometimes, what people say and who they are are two different things. How would you know if God doesn’t show you? Even after marriage, you will need God to keep revealing your spouse to you. That’s how you can get the best out of the marriage (Malachi 2:14-16).

TRUTHS & LIES

My daughter and I were talking one day, and something in her story didn’t add up. I said, “Stop lying to me.” She looked me dead in the eye and said, “Daddy, I’m not lying. Go and ask God. He'll tell you.” I laughed, then prayed. Turns out, she was telling the truth. That moment taught me: if a child knows to run things by God, how much more should we?

Friend, how do you tell truths from lies (1 John 4:1)? How do you know if a voice, a teaching, or a prophecy is from God, from people, or from the pit of hell? In these last days, how critical is it to walk with the Spirit of Truth? We don’t just follow truth. We follow the Spirit of Truth (Acts 16:16-18).

You can hear
correct words from the wrong source. Even the devil quoted Scripture to Jesus (Genesis 3:11, Luke 4:1-13). Truth without the Spirit can still deceive. The Holy Spirit is our antidote to lies. He anchors truth so deep in our hearts that error cannot take root (John 8:31-32, Colossians 3:16).

The biggest battle these last days won’t be right vs. wrong. It will be right vs. good (Hebrews 5:14, 13:9). What do you do when the voice sounds like Jacob, but the hands look like Esau (Genesis 27:22)? When everything looks good on the surface, but your spirit isn’t settled?
Discernment is no longer about obvious sin. It’s about choosing God’s best over what’s merely good.

The Spirit of Truth works to the level of Truth inside you (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit’s guidance in your life is tied to the Word of God inside you. He cannot guide you beyond what you know. That’s why the Word must dwell in you richly. That’s why you need to sit under teaching that is soaked in truth and light (Isaiah 30:20-21, 1 Timothy 3:15).

Like my daughter said, “Go ask God.” Do you run things by God, or do you just use human logic (Genesis 25:22)? Assumption is dangerous. It ruins destinies. Don’t take things at face value. Take it to God in prayer. Don’t decide based on what “feels right” (Proverbs 14:12). Let the Spirit of Truth guide you so you won’t be confused.

ENERGY IS CURRENCY

I once knew a young man who was called by God. In less than 2 years, he had moved 4 different times. Each time, he said, “God told me to go.” Soon after, he announced that God was now sending him out of the country for ministry. Deep down, I knew something was off. He wasn’t being led. He was scattered. He was wasting energy.

Friend, energy is currency. Learn to manage it, not waste it. Consistency is not optional if you’re walking in a divine assignment. Stay where God planted you. Do what He told you to do. Even when it looks slow on the surface, don’t move prematurely (Acts 26:19).

Success is not a sprint. It takes conviction and commitment to stay the course (Acts 26:22). The devil’s favourite trick in your prime is distraction. He will sell you the lie that “you can do everything and be everywhere.” He will keep you moving from place to place, idea to idea, until you end up nowhere (1 Kings 20:40).

Consistency is character. Nobody stumbles into impact. People you admire today have paid years of hidden, consistent work (2 Timothy 4:6-8). If you want their result, be willing to walk their road without drifting. A seed only grows when it is planted in the right soil (Psalm 92:13). The same is true for destiny.

Don’t let the devil, pressure, or comparison uproot you. Stop jumping from career to career, business to business, and ministry to ministry. Sit down. Ask God: What should I pour my life into? Where should I pour it? Then start early. You won’t be young forever (John 21:17-18).

The secret of success and lasting impact is to get it right and better (Proverbs 4:18). You can’t get better at what you never committed to. When you find it, stay long enough to grow in it. Stop chasing new things. Start building the one thing.

GOD IS NEVER IN PANIC MODE

There’s a powerful story behind a popular worship song. The songwriter watched his son slip toward death. Doctors had given up. Hope was gone. But in that hopeless place, he met God — not as an idea, but as the One who makes a way where there is none.

Friend, God is never in panic mode. He has a solution for every problem (John 14:6). When every road looks blocked, when disappointment piles up and the future feels tight, remember this: His presence is your guarantee of victory. Even when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you are not alone. He walks with you (Psalm 23:4).

Life’s trials aren’t meant to crush you. They’re opportunities to prove God’s faithfulness (Psalm 119:160). You don’t truly know Him as Jehovah Jireh until provision is the only thing standing between you and defeat. You don’t call Him Jehovah Rapha as a cliché until He becomes the Lord who heals you (Exodus 15:26, 1 Peter 2:24).

Your problem is never too big for God. He’s never in panic mode. In the storm, He speaks peace (Mark 4:39). In uncertainty, He gives assurance (Acts 20:22-24, 2 Timothy 1:12). When the road looks dark, He supplies hope (Romans 4:18-21). As we lift our eyes to Him, His glory shines through our gloom (Psalm 34:5).

Inside every challenge is the seed of its solution (1 Corinthians 10:13). We often look around for help when God is telling us to look up first, then look within. When you lift your eyes to the Helper, your eyes will open to the help that’s been there all along (Genesis 21:19, Psalm 46:1, 121:1-2).

Your trials are designed to make you, not break you (2 Corinthians 4:16-18). Some became business owners because of financial pressure. Some became prayer warriors because of a battle that refused to end. Whatever season you’re in, come out better, stronger, and more like Him. God is never in panic mode. He will make a way for you.
