authority over Satan and the cohorts of darkness. No

the adversary and adversities. I live triumphantly in
Christ, every day. Hallelujah!

your Word and leading of your Spirit in my life. You

commuting to their place of work, business or school,
they’re angry, unhappy and frustrated. They ignore all
the love and beauty around them.
Read our theme verse again: Jesus came that
we may have and also enjoy life! Enjoying your life
isn’t only about going for a game show, or watching
a comedy, or engaging in some adventure. Rather,
it means enjoying every moment of life’s journey;
enjoying everything you do, as long as it’s consistent
with a godly life, because you’re a child of God and
you know God is fulfilling His dream through you.
God has given you a life of joy, but you have
the responsibility to express it. Let the joy of the Lord
be evident in your life with such radiance that fully
expresses the peace of God in you. Make a conscious
choice to enjoy the moments of your life.
CONFESSION
The Lord has given me all things richly to enjoy. He’s
brought me into a life of rest, full of joy and glory.
Nothing is too good for me. I’m full of joy today,
living the great life of righteousness, health, wealth,
prosperity and success that I have in Christ. Glory
to God!
FURTHER STUDY:
1 Timothy 6:17; Isaiah 12:3; Proverbs 17:22
PRAYER
Precious Father, I thank you for your grace and the
power of your righteousness at work in me! I yield
myself to the Word, to be taught, to be guided in
righteousness. Sin has no dominion over me. I have
the rightness of God in my spirit and it’s expressed
in my thoughts, words and actions, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
1 John 5:18; 1 John 2:1; 1 John 2:28-29

you’re accusing God of lying to you. You’re accusing
Him of asking you to do something you couldn’t do.
The fact that He says, “Don’t be anxious,” means you
can live without anxiety. Your response, therefore,
should be, “Blessed be God! I live in the peace and
provisions of Christ; I do not fret! He has perfected all
that concerns me. Hallelujah!” That’s how you respond
to God.
Refuse to have anxiety about your son, your
daughter, your husband, your wife, your brother,
your sister, your house rent, your health, your job,
business, education, or about anything! When you do,
the Bible says the peace of God that’s beyond human
comprehension will garrison your heart and mind in
Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that stirs faith
in my heart and dispels fear and anxiety. I reject every
thought of fear, for I’m shielded from the pain and
darkness in the world. Greater is He that’s in me than
he that’s in the world. I’m full of might by the Spirit
of the Lord, for the peace of God which passes all
understanding mantles my heart and mind, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Deuteronomy 31:6; 2 Timothy 1:7; Matthew 6:25-26 AMPC
CONFESSION
Every fibre of my being is energised and infused
with miracle-working ability. I’m strengthened and
invigorated by the Holy Spirit in my inner man,
thereby competent for any task. I’m conscious of,
and function with His divine power that works in me
mightily. Hallelujah!

these should get your attention to pray and increase
your passion and speed for spreading the Gospel. If we
can save more, there’d be less pain. Don’t be overly
concerned about your situation that you forget what
others are going through.
Your blessing is in blessing others. You’re lifted
when you lift others. Therefore, explore every available
and innovative means to reach out to those who are
suffering and in pain. Don’t ignore their cries.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the wonderful works of
salvation; thank you for the glorious Gospel of Christ
through which life and immortality are unveiled.
I’m committed to its spread around the world, and
many are brought out of sin, poverty and affliction
into the glorious life in Christ. Your Word is growing
and prevailing in nations of the world, delivering men
and women into their inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Galatians 6:10 AMPC; 1 John 3:17 GNB; Romans 15:1
CONFESSION
Every piece of information I require for my next level
of success is accessible to me. I have an extraordinary
amplitude of comprehension; I’m full of the wisdom
of the Spirit, through the Word, and I make great
things happen in my life and in the lives of others. I
see the invisible and do the impossible, for my mind
is anointed for extraordinary ideas for success. Glory
to God!
FURTHER STUDY:
Proverbs 2:6 AMPC; Ephesians 1:17-18; Psalm 119:105
CONFESSION
All things are mine. I have a healthy, prosperous,
vibrant and successful life, for Christ has taken up

nothing to fear: no fear of the future; no fear of the
dark; no fear of failure, because Christ in me is my
assurance of a life of continuous triumph and eternal
glory. Blessed be God!

TO DO HIS WILL
And there appeared an angel unto
him from heaven, strengthening
him (Luke 22:43).

fellowship with you in prayer and being strengthened
to do your will, and live for your glory, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Philippians 2:13; Romans 8:26-27; Isaiah 40:31
CONFESSION
My spirit, soul and body are filled with God; I give
vent only to His thoughts, ideas and desires. He’s
at work in me both to will and to do of His good
pleasure. My life is the expression of His will and
glory. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 12:1-2; Proverbs 3:5 AMPC
PRAYER
Precious Father, I thank you for the message of
salvation through which I’ve been made your
righteousness in Christ Jesus. And now, I’m honoured
with the responsibility of propagating this Gospel of
your love to my world. I’m constantly compelled from
within to tell of your love and manifest your grace for
your glory and praise, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word is medicine
and life to my body. I’m born of the incorruptible
seed of your Word; therefore, my life is sustained by
your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Psalm 107:17-20; Matthew 8:16; Psalm 34:12-13
CONFESSION

will, and walk in His divine destiny for me. Hallelujah!

I’m crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live; yet not
I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live
in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God! I’m
free from sin and death. I’m a partaker of the divine
nature! Glory to God!

kind of man, born in righteousness with no past of sin
to be set free from. In Christianity, we don’t get set free;
we’re free-born! That’s the reality for the one who’s
born again. You’re sin-free. No wonder Romans 6:14
says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you....”
The concept of sin can’t be properly understood
until you have a good understanding of the doctrine
of righteousness. So, when the Bible says, “For
when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
righteousness” (Romans 6:20), the expression “free
from righteousness” actually means righteousness-
free or you were “righteousness-exempt.” In other
words, you were a slave of sin, and couldn’t practise
righteousness.
However, now that you’re born again, it’s the
reverse; you can practise righteousness and produce
fruits and works of righteousness because that’s your
nature in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I’m a new creation, a new kind of man; old things
are passed away and all things have become new. I
walk in righteousness and produce works and fruits
of righteousness. Glory to God!

2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4-7

HE’S ABLE TO KEEP YOU
FROM FALLING
Now unto him that is able to keep you
from falling, and to present you faultless
before the presence of his glory with
exceeding joy, To the only wise God our
Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen
(Jude 1:24-25).

therefore, none of my steps shall slide. I’m up all the
time, steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the
work of the Lord. Glory to God!”
Irrespective of the happenings around you, be
bold to declare, “My life is upward and forward
only; I’m standing strong in faith; nothing shakes me;
I’m deeply rooted in Christ, the Solid Rock, and He
never lets me fall!” Make this your contemplation and
understanding of Christ, and His ministry in your life
will be fulfilled. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
I have a life that’s upward and forward only; no ups
and downs, because in Christ, I’m forever up! He
upholds me with His right hand of righteousness that
I may never stumble. My path is of a shining light,
shining brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
Hallelujah!

some were killed for preaching the Gospel.
Therefore, even if you were reviled or disdained
for preaching Christ, keep at it. Keep influencing and
impacting your world positively with the power of God
in His Gospel. Be exceedingly passionate about this
because the time is short.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the opportunity
and ability to influence those in my world with the
Gospel. Testimonies of salvation abound today, all
around the world, as the Gospel is preached and
received gladly. Thank you for your blessings and
bountiful provisions in my life, and for the boldness
and courage you’ve granted me to proclaim the
Gospel with power, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
