PASTOR'S APPRECIATION DAY

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: The Importance of a Pastor
Text: Jeremiah 3:15

"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15

Beloved, one of the greatest gifts God gives to His people is a pastor. A pastor is not merely a church leader; he is God's appointed shepherd over His flock.

A shepherd guides the sheep to green pastures, protects them from danger, and ensures they do not go astray. In the same way, God places pastors in our lives to guide us spiritually, pray for us, teach us God's Word, and watch over our souls.

The tragedy of many believers is that they recognize the value of many things but fail to recognize the value of the gift God has placed over them. Every gift is meant to be cherished. If God calls pastors a gift to the church, then they deserve to be appreciated, honoured, and valued.

Jesus asked in Malachi 1:6: "If I be a father, where is mine honour?"
In the same way, if someone is truly your pastor, where is the honour due to him?

The level of value you place on what God has given you often determines the blessings you receive through it.

1. Recognize the Importance of Your Pastor:
In 2 Kings 4:8-17, the Shunammite woman perceived that Elisha was a holy man of God. She recognized the grace upon his life and deliberately honoured him. Recognition always precedes reward.
Many people desire the blessings connected to a servant of God, yet they fail to appreciate the servant himself.

The Shunammite woman did not honour Elisha because she needed something from him. She honoured him because she valued who he was. As a result, God visited the area of her life that had remained barren for years.

Declaration:
May your eyes be opened to recognize the blessings God has placed around you. As you honour God's servants, may Heaven remember you for good in the name of Jesus!

2. Those Who Bless You Spiritually Deserve Your Support:
In 1 Corinthians 9:11-15, Paul asked a simple question:
"If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?"

Your pastor spends time praying for you, counselling you, studying the Word to feed you, interceding for your family, and watching over your soul.
The Bible teaches that those who labour in spiritual matters should also be supported materially by those who benefit from their ministry.

Sadly, some people willingly sow seeds to ministers they only see on television or social media, yet neglect the pastor God has personally assigned to shepherd them.

God's order is that we should appreciate and support those who minister directly into our lives.

Declaration:
As you support the work of God and honour those who labour over your soul, may God open channels of blessing that no man can shut in the name of Jesus!

3. Personal Appreciation Matters:
Many people hide under group appreciation and never develop a personal culture of honour. But your relationship with your pastor is personal.

Others may know him as a preacher, but you know him as the one who has prayed for you, encouraged you, visited you, counselled you, and stood with you through difficult seasons.

Therefore, your appreciation should not be limited to special occasions. Honour should become a lifestyle.

4. Honour Opens the Door for Divine Supply:
In Philippians 4:14-19, the Philippian church supported God's servant consistently.

Because they cared for God's work and God's servant, Paul released a powerful blessing over them:
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

The Philippians understood a principle many believers ignore: when you honour God's work, God honours your needs.

There are blessings attached to appreciating God's servants. When you become a blessing, Heaven ensures that blessings do not depart from your life.

Cherish your pastor.
Carry him in your heart.
Let his burden concern you.
Remember him in your prayers.
Remember him in your giving.
Remember him beyond special celebrations.

Declaration:
Is it money you need? Whatever you need, as you honour God's servant and appreciate the grace of God upon his life, may God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in the name of Jesus!

SHALOM!

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: It May be Hard but not Impossible 111 - Mark.10:27
Sub Tittle: How to Provoke the Impossible
Text: 2Kings.4:8-17

Beloved, every impossible situation has a key that can unlock it. What men call impossible is often waiting for divine intervention. The question is not whether God can do it; the question is: How do we position ourselves to provoke the impossible?

The Bible tells us about the Shunammite woman. She was a woman of substance, yet she had a hidden need. She recognized the grace upon the life of Elisha and constrained him to eat in her house whenever he passed by.

To provoke means to cause a reaction. It means to stir something into action.

Many people have accepted negative reports concerning their lives. They have been told, "It cannot work," "You are not qualified," "Your case is different." But today, God is asking: What are you doing to provoke Heaven concerning your situation?

1. Honour and Value God's Servant

The Shunammite woman perceived that Elisha was a holy man of God. She honoured him and made room for him in her life.

The earlier you recognize and appreciate what God has placed around you, the sooner you position yourself for divine intervention.

Because of her honour, Elisha became concerned about her welfare. Though she claimed to have everything, Heaven discovered a need she had stopped talking about.

There are blessings God wants to give you that you have not even prayed about recently because you have lost hope.

Declaration:
You may think you have everything, but there is an unexpected miracle God is releasing into your life today in the name of Jesus!

As Elisha and Gehazi discussed what could be done for the woman, her case was being considered in her absence.

Declaration:
May God raise helpers who will speak in your favour behind closed doors in the name of Jesus!

Gehazi pointed out the difficulty: "She has no child, and her husband is old." Humanly speaking, it was hard. But God specializes in doing what men consider difficult.

Declaration:
Where others have been disqualified, may God qualify you. May He break every protocol standing against your testimony in the name of Jesus!

Even if family members, friends, or society have given up on you, remember there is a Man who never gives up. Jesus Christ is the Great Protocol Breaker.

2. Sacrifice

In 1 Samuel 9:4–8, Saul searched everywhere for his father's lost donkeys and came to the land of Zuph, the land of the end. Yet his story did not end there because he was directed to the man of God.

Saul understood the principle of not appearing before the servant of God empty-handed. Though what he had was small, he was willing to present it.

Sacrifice is not measured by size but by sincerity.

Many times, God uses our giving, honour, and sacrifice as a point of contact for supernatural intervention.

When you honour God and value His work, you position yourself for divine remembrance.

Declaration:
You may have searched everywhere without results, but you will not return empty-handed in the name of Jesus!

The Bible says in Hebrews 13:17 that we should obey those who watch over our souls. When we honour and cooperate with godly leadership, we create an atmosphere for blessing and joy.

Beloved, hard does not mean impossible. The God who gave the Shunammite woman a child despite every limitation is still working miracles today.

Prophetic Declarations

• Every impossible situation in your life shall receive divine attention.

• May God raise helpers who will remember you for good.

• Every delayed testimony shall become a manifested testimony.

• Every protocol standing against your progress shall be broken.

• You shall not return empty-handed from the presence of God.

• The unexpected miracle God has prepared for you shall locate you this season.

• What is hard for men shall become easy for God in your life.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Title: IT MAY BE HARD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE II
Main Text: Mark 10:27
Sub Text: Genesis 21:1–12

Our anchor scripture says:

“With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27)

Beloved, one of the greatest mistakes a person can make is to view life only through the eyes of men. Men see limitations, but God sees possibilities. Men focus on facts, but God works by His power.

Doctors may give reports. Family background may speak against you. Society may place limits on you. But God is not limited by human opinions. What appears impossible before men remains possible with God.

Things concerning God do not always make sense to the natural mind. That is why we must learn to trust God’s Word above human reasoning.

Whatever God has spoken concerning your life, hold on to it. Whether He speaks directly to you or through His servant, His Word will never fail. Your appointed time shall not pass you by.

The Bible says that God is not a man that He should lie. If He has promised it, He will surely bring it to pass, and every promise He has spoken over your life shall be fulfilled.

Beloved, there is a set time for everything. There is a time appointed for every person, every season, and every manifestation. Sometimes we become discouraged because our expectations have not yet appeared, but God’s timing remains the best. Your season of delay shall become a season of testimony.

Your testimony may seem delayed, but delay is not denial. Just as every child is born at an appointed time, every blessing also has its appointed season.

The story of Sarah teaches us a powerful lesson. For many years she waited, endured shame, ridicule, and disappointment. Yet she refused to give up completely on God’s promise.

When God finally visited her, she declared: “God has made me laugh.” What people considered impossible became a testimony. The woman who was once mocked became a source of joy. Your tears shall be turned into laughter in Jesus’ name.

Sarah also said, “Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?” Though she had only one child, she spoke of “children” because she understood that one miracle from God can produce many more miracles.

Beloved, never despise the miracle God places in your hand. One breakthrough can open the door to many others. One testimony can become the foundation for greater testimonies.

I declare: every miracle God brings into your life shall multiply and produce greater blessings in Jesus’ name.

Sometimes confusion can lead people into wrong decisions. Sarah once suggested that Abraham should have a child through Hagar because she thought God’s promise would never come to pass.

But when God’s promise eventually manifested, everything changed. What was once accepted had to give way for God’s original plan.

Beloved, never allow temporary circumstances to replace God’s purpose for your life. What God has ordained for you cannot be substituted by human alternatives.

I declare: every substitute occupying the place of God’s promise in your life shall give way in Jesus’ name.

There are situations in life that may not seem pleasant at the moment. We may not understand why certain things happen, but God has a way of revealing His purpose in due season.

What appears painful today may become the testimony of tomorrow.

When Sarah recognized God’s covenant upon Isaac, she understood that light and darkness could not continue together. There had to be a separation.

Likewise, anything standing against God’s glory in your life must give way. Every force, delay, limitation, sickness, or obstacle occupying the place of God’s glory in your life shall be removed in the name of Jesus.

Even after Sarah gave birth, there were still practical challenges. Humanly speaking, caring for a child at her age seemed impossible. Yet the same God who gave the child also gave her the strength and grace to nurture him.

Beloved, God never starts what He cannot sustain. If He brings you into a new season, He will also supply the grace to succeed in it.

Perhaps someone has reached a point where they feel there is no way forward. Hear this word today: the God of Sarah is still alive. It is never too late for God to intervene.

It is never too late to succeed. It is never too late to be fruitful. It is never too late to rise again. It is never too late for your testimony.

Sarah endured years of waiting, criticism, disappointment, and emotional pain. Yet she remained standing until God’s promise became reality.

Your present situation is not the end of your story. The God who turned Sarah’s reproach into rejoicing is able to turn your waiting into celebration.

What may be hard with men is never impossible with God. Hold on to His Word, trust His timing, and remain steadfast in faith.

SHALOM!

Title: IT MAY BE HARD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE
Text: Mark 10:27

There is a difference between what is hard and what is impossible. When something is hard, it means it is difficult. It may require patience, sacrifice, persistence, and faith. But eventually, it can still happen.
Impossible means there is no hope at all. It means no matter the effort, it cannot be achieved naturally.

But hear the Word of God today: “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
Men may conclude on your situation, but God has not concluded on you. People may say it cannot happen, but God is saying, “I still have the final say.”

Beloved, never allow human conclusions to become your personal conclusion.
Look at the life of Abraham in the Book of Genesis 17. God promised Abraham a child when he was 75 years old. But the promise did not come immediately. Years passed. Waiting continued. Hope was tested. At a point, people may have mocked him secretly. Some may have said: “Forget it.” “It can never happen again.” “You are too old.”

But what men called impossible, God made possible. At the age of 99 years, Abraham encountered God again, and by 100 years old, the promised child arrived.

Beloved, delay is not denial. If God has spoken concerning your life, He will surely bring it to pass.

I decree over your life today, every delayed blessing shall manifest in the name of Jesus!

God has a plan for every life. Until that plan is fulfilled, your journey is not over.

You will not die before fulfilling God’s purpose for your life in Jesus’ name!

The Bible says God made a covenant with Abraham, but certain things were still hindering the manifestation of the promise. Then God instructed Abraham concerning circumcision, a painful sacrifice at old age.

Abraham obeyed, and things began to change.
Beloved, sometimes breakthrough requires sacrifice, obedience, and spiritual surrender.
Some people are working hard, struggling day and night, yet nothing seems to move. There may be spiritual blockages, wrong associations, disobedience, unforgiveness, pride, or sin standing on the way.

The greatest circumcision today is the circumcision of the heart.
God wants to remove: bitterness, unbelief, fear, sin, pride, double living.

When the heart is surrendered to God, doors begin to open.

Every spiritual blockage delaying your progress shall be removed today in the name of Jesus!

Another thing God changed was Abraham and Sarah’s names. Sarah could not continue with the old identity if she was going to enter the new season God prepared for her.

Beloved, some names carry negative history, pain, limitation, and reproach. But when God steps in, He changes stories and identities.

I declare, every name negatively working against your destiny shall be broken in Jesus’ name!

Doctors may speak based on medical reports. Men may speak based on human understanding. Society may speak based on your present condition. But God speaks based on His power.

Sarah had entered menopause, but God proved that menopause is not menostop. What was paused by nature was restarted by divine power.

I declare, very good thing that has been paused in your life shall begin to move again in Jesus’ name!

Somebody may have told you: ~ “You cannot succeed, you cannot marry, you cannot have children, you cannot rise beyond this level.
But hear the Word of the Lord today: No man can stop what God has ordained for your life.

Abraham tried to help God by presenting Ishmael, but Ishmael was not God’s covenant plan. God insisted that the covenant would come through Isaac.

Beloved, God’s plan for your life cannot be replaced by human alternatives. What God has prepared for you shall not pass you by.

I declare, very counterfeit blessing shall give way for God’s original plan for your life in Jesus’ name!

Sometimes the journey may be hard. The waiting season may be painful. The process may look confusing. But hard does not mean impossible.

If God did it for Abraham and Sarah, He can do it for you. The same God who remembered them will remember you. The same God who brought laughter into their home will visit your home with joy.

Declaration: ~ Your waiting season shall end in testimony

~ Your tears shall become laughter

What men call impossible, God shall make possible for you, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: IT IS TOO EARLY TO CALL THE RESULT
Text: Book of Judges 11:1–11

Beloved, this morning God is speaking to us through the life of Jephthah.

Jephthah was born great, but his beginning was rough. He was rejected, denied his rights, and pushed out because of circumstances surrounding his birth.

People looked at his condition and concluded that nothing good could come out of him. But they forgot that when God has not finished with a man, no human being has the right to conclude on his life.

That is why the Lord is saying to somebody today: “It is too early to call the result.”

Men may write you off, but God has not written you off. People may conclude on your situation, but Heaven has not concluded on you.

Jephthah was chased out of his father’s house and forced to live among strangers. But God was preparing him for greatness.

Declaration:
Every rejection working against your life shall become a stepping stone to your promotion in Jesus’ name!

Beloved, your present condition is not your final conclusion. Your environment may limit you, but it cannot stop God’s purpose for your life.
Somebody may say: ~ “Nothing good can come out of this family.” ~ “This sickness will finish you.” ~ “You cannot succeed.” ~ “You will never rise again.”

But hear me clearly: God can change a person’s story suddenly. In one moment, God can turn shame into honor, rejection into celebration, and pain into testimony.

Declaration:
May God arise and change your story suddenly in the name of Jesus!

The same people who rejected Jephthah later came looking for him. Why? Because they discovered that what they rejected was what they needed.

Beloved, when God deposits something valuable inside you, people will seek you.
Jephthah did not force himself on them. They came begging him because they were in distress.

Declaration:
Those who mocked you before shall celebrate you tomorrow in Jesus’ name!

Do not die in discouragement.
Do not give up on yourself.
Do not conclude when God has not concluded.

Some people today are in Jephthah’s condition: ~ Rejected by family ~ Looked down on by society ~ Insulted by landlords ~ Betrayed by friends ~ Mocked because of present struggles

But hear the Word of the Lord: Better days are ahead!

If one place does not value you, God can connect you to another place where you will be appreciated.

Never remain where you are merely tolerated when God has prepared a place where you will be celebrated.

Declaration:
May God connect you to people who will value your destiny in Jesus’ name!

Beloved, do not use your present position to look down on others because life can change suddenly.

The same mouth people used to spoil Jephthah later honored him.
The same people that rejected him later depended on him.

Declaration:
Every tongue that spoke against you shall speak in your favor in Jesus’ name!

Instead of fighting people, take your matter to God in prayer. God is the One who lifts men.
When God steps into a situation, human opinion does not matter anymore.

The God who remembered Jephthah will remember you. The God who brought him from rejection to leadership will announce you for greatness.

Declaration:
I declare over your life today: ~ Your story will end in glory ~ Your shame shall turn to honor ~ Your rejection shall become celebration ~ Your helpers shall locate you ~ God will put inside you what your generation needs ~ Those who concluded on you too early shall witness your rising In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

10/05/2026

Sunday Service – 10th May 2026

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: REFUSE TO BE WORRIED
Text: Matthew 6:25–33

Beloved, today God is speaking to us on a very important subject: “Refuse To Be Worried.”

As long as you are alive and breathing, there will always be something that wants to make you worry.

~ Some worry about food
~ Some worry about money
~ Some worry about marriage
~ Some worry about children
~ Some worry about health
~ Some worry about the future

Worry is part of life in this world. But Jesus is telling us today: Do not allow worry to control your life.

Worrying may come, but you must refuse to entertain it because worry leads to danger.

In our text, Jesus said: “Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life…”
That word “therefore” is very powerful. Even in mathematics, when you see “therefore,” it means an answer is coming.

Declaration:
After this message, answers will come to someone this morning!

Jesus was speaking directly to people who are worried and troubled in their hearts. Interestingly, the things Jesus mentioned are exactly the things human beings worry about every day: ~ What shall we eat?
~ What shall we drink?
~ What shall we wear?
These are real life problems.
But Jesus said: “Take no thought.”
That means: Do not allow worry to consume your heart.

GOD CARES FOR YOU

Jesus said we should look at the birds of the air. Birds do not have: Bank accounts, Savings, Investments, yet God feeds them daily.

If God can feed birds, how much more you that are created in His image!

Beloved, you may not have everything today: ~You may not have enough food
~ You may not have enough clothes
~ You may not even know what tomorrow holds
But do not worry. Your tomorrow is better than your today!

WHAT WORRY DOES

Worry has never solved problems. Instead, worry destroys people.
1. Worry Reduces People:
Worry can reduce your strength, your joy, your confidence and even your faith.
A person full of worry cannot think clearly or function effectively.

2. Worry Makes People Sick:
Many sicknesses today are connected to anxiety and fear.
When the heart is constantly troubled: Blood pressure rises, The body becomes weak, Sleep disappears. Worry affects health.

3. Worry Makes People Die Young:
Some people are not killed by witches or enemies, but by constant worry.
Fear, anxiety and overthinking can destroy a person gradually. That is why Jesus said: “Take no thought.”

YOU ARE UNDER GOD’S GOVERNMENT

Some may say: “The Tinubu regime is hard.” Yes, times may be difficult economically, but as believers, we are not controlled by the system of men alone. We are under God’s government.
Our supply does not come from man; it comes from God. The God who fed Elijah in famine is still alive today.

STOP WORRYING — START PRAISING

Instead of worrying, begin to praise God.
Praise shifts your focus from problems to God.
When you praise God: Fear disappears, Strength returns, Faith rises and God takes away your worries.

THE ROOT OF WORRY

Jesus said: “O ye of little faith.”
The major reason many people worry is because their faith is small.

When you truly know God, confidence comes into your heart. The Bible says in Book of Daniel 11:32: “They that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”
Do you truly know your God?
If you know Him: You will trust Him, You will believe Him, You will rest in Him because God has never failed.

THE SOLUTION TO WORRY

The solution is found in verse 33.
Jesus said: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

The secret is:
1. PUT GOD FIRST:
When you think about God first, He takes care of your needs. God cannot abandon a person who is genuinely committed to Him.

When you seek Him:
~ He provides for you
~ He protects you
~ He preserves you
~ He promotes you
“All these things shall be added.”

2. GIVE GOD HIS OWN:

One of the ways to overcome worry is by trusting God with your substance.
Your tithe is one of the keys that stops worry because it is an act of faith and obedience.
When you honor God with your resources, you are telling Him: “Lord, You are my Source.”
And God never fails those who trust Him.

SHALOM!

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: GO BACK TO YOUR FATHER
Text: Luke 15:11–24

Beloved, today God is sending a strong message to us:
“Go back to your Father.”

In life, there are three major fathers everyone has:

1. Your Biological Father
2. Your Spiritual Father (Pastor)
3. Your Heavenly Father (God)

Your biological father is the one through whom you came into this world. Though your mother carried you for nine months, your father is the source. No matter how close you are to your mother, never forget your father.

Your spiritual father (pastor) is the man God has ordained to watch over you spiritually. If you truly want to succeed in life and destiny, you must align yourself with your spiritual authority.
The Scripture says:
“Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:20)

When you honor God and align with the prophetic voice over your life, prosperity and establishment become your portion.

But above all, we have the Heavenly Father — God Almighty.

He is your Creator, your Source, your Sustainer. Without Him, nothing works.

THE CALL TO RETURN

Our main focus today is the Heavenly Father.
Many believers today have drifted away from God.

You were once prayerful… once on fire… once committed… but now something happened, and you have gone far from Him. But God is saying today:
“Come back to Me.”

No matter how far you have gone, God is ready to receive you.

THE CASE STUDY –

In Luke 15:11–24), Jesus told the story of a young man who left his father’s house. He collected his inheritance and went into a far country, where he wasted everything in reckless living.
When his resources finished, life became hard.

He moved from abundance to lack… from dignity to disgrace. The Bible says:
“He came to himself…” That is the turning point!

He said:
“I will arise and go back to my father.”

Beloved, that is the message today:

Arise and go back to your Father!

And when he returned, something powerful happened:
~The father saw him from afar
~The father ran to him
~The father embraced him
~The father restored him.

That is how God will receive you today!

GOD IS STILL CALLING YOU

Some of you are still in church, but you are not connected to God.
~You pray, but your heart is far.
~You give offering, but there is no relationship.
Jesus said:
“Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord… and I will say, I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:22–23)

Church activity is not the same as knowing God. You know yourself, if you have drifted, return today!

Beloved, God is not condemning you. He is inviting you.
“Come now, and let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18)

No matter your mistakes, your sins, your past. God is ready to forgive and restore you.

WITHOUT GOD, YOU CAN DO NOTHING
Jesus said:
“Without Me ye can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

Without God:
~Your efforts will struggle
~Your destiny will be delayed
~Your life will lack direction

But with God:
~You become relevant
~You become impactful
~You become unstoppable

When you are outside your Father’s presence, you become a nonentity. But when you return to Him, you become a celebrity in destiny!

YOUR DESTINY IS TIED TO GOD
Never joke with your relationship with God.
No matter what happens:
~Don’t leave God
~Don’t walk away
~Don’t disconnect
Because everything about your life is tied to Him.

As your pastor, I present God to you again:
Jesus is:
The Way, The Truth, The Life. In Him, you have; Hope, Life, Wealth, Success, Prosperity and Fulfillment

I declare over your life today:

As you return to God, your lost glory is restored! Your wasted years are recovered! Your joy is coming back! Your testimony begins now!

Just like the prodigal son:

You are coming back better! You are coming back restored! You are coming back celebrated!

CONCLUSION

Beloved, the Father is waiting.
He is not angry. He is expecting you.

Today, arise!
Today, return!
Today, reconnect!
Because in your Father’s house, there is:
Provision, Protection, Peace, Purpose.

Go back to your Father.

Sunday Service – 5th April 2026

Message by Rev. Paul Okosodo
Title: RESURRECTION POWER
Texts: Matthew 28:1–6, Romans 8:11

Beloved, today we celebrate the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, the Resurrection Power. This power is not just a story; it is real, active, and still at work in the lives of those who believe.

Before Jesus died, He declared that He would rise again on the third day and exactly as He said, it came to pass. This shows us that whatever God has spoken concerning your life will surely come to fulfilment.

Even when men try to stop it, God’s word cannot be stopped.

The enemies of Jesus remembered His words. They said, “This man said He will rise again.” Because of that, they strengthened the security around the tomb. They rolled a heavy stone, sealed it, and stationed guards to watch over it.

They thought they could stop resurrection.
But when the power of God showed up, every human security failed. The stone was rolled away, the seal was broken, and the guards became powerless.

I declare over your life:
Every power assigned to stop your rising shall fail in the name of Jesus!

They said, “Let us watch and see how He will rise.”

I declare: Whoever is watching your life, expecting you to fail or never rise again, they will watch and wait in vain! They will see you rise in Jesus’ name!

The tomb was opened, and Jesus came out alive. I speak prophetically into your life:
Every closed door is opening now! Every tomb holding your blessings is breaking open in the name of Jesus!

The angel of the Lord descended and rolled away the stone.

I declare:
May the angel of the Lord visit you and your family!
Every stone of barrenness, poverty, delay, sickness, and limitation is rolled away now in Jesus’ name!

Beloved, Jesus is Lord—even in the grave. He went into the grave and came out victorious. In that process, He secured your healing, your fruitfulness, your marriage, your breakthrough, and every blessing you can think of.

That is why the Bible says in Romans 8:11, “If the Spirit of Him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He will also give life to your mortal body.”

I declare:
That same resurrection power rests upon you now!

Before tomorrow morning:
Your enemies will hear your testimony!

When the women came to the tomb, the angel told them, “He is not here, for He is risen.”

I speak into your life:
God is changing your story!
God is changing your level!
God is giving you a new address, an address of favor, breakthrough, and testimony in Jesus’ name!

Whatever is dead in your life; your dreams, your finances, your health, your opportunities, they are coming back to life again!

But what powered Jesus’ resurrection?

It was the Spirit of God, and that Spirit is also the Spirit of obedience. Jesus obeyed God even unto death, and that obedience activated resurrection power.

I declare:
Receive the Spirit of obedience in the name of Jesus!

Thomas doubted the resurrection. Even when he saw Jesus, he still asked for evidence.

I don’t know who is doubting your rising. Those who think you will never succeed, never recover, never move forward

I declare:
God will disappoint them!

And just like Thomas eventually saw the evidence; You will show undeniable evidence of God’s power this year in the name of Jesus!

Beloved, resurrection power brings:

~Hope in the midst of hopelessness
~Life where there was death
~Victory where there was defeat
~Glory where there was shame

No matter what you are going through, it is not over.

Just as Jesus rose again,
~You will rise again!

I declare over your life:
~You are rising above every limitation
~You are rising above sickness
~You are rising above poverty
~You are rising above delay and stagnation

Nothing will be able to keep you down!
The same power that raised Jesus from the grave is at work in you.

Go forward in that power.
Live in that power.
Testify by that power.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
