I gave you a good bath, washing off all that old blood, and anointed you with aromatic oils.
Ezekiel 16:11 I adorned you with jewelry: I placed bracelets on your wrists, fitted you out with a necklace,

#It's difficult to describe this book in one sentence. Reading through it feels like a devotional more than a book on prayer. And then it feels like a motivational text also. Emerge will get you to pray even as you read the book.
This is one book that

a reader is sure to read more than once. It's very rich in scriptural illustrations and practical in its application

Personal Prayer Walk Chronicles, 11th March, 2023...

I REALLY HAVE A ?? this mornin

Anyways, Woke up this mornin with so much energy(glory to God), at a time, I was considering walking from ABEOKUTA- Ibadan just to show that my frenemy, Pst. @Abel2goupOla that I was fitter.. 😂

Anyways, I set out early praying in tongues, which is my usual practice, but, midway, I decided to listen to one of the audio messages on my phone. The lot fell on Pst. E.A. Adeboye's message, titled, "THE CREATIVE POWER OF GOD'S WORD"

His Word can CREATE, CALL FORTH, CANCEL,

OBTAIN etc. It can serve in every capacity and can do all things, even d imagined stuffs can b brought to manifestation.
📌
Making time to study His Word is really underrated. Many today just glance thru & rush off. This will not help. We must make time in d midst of no time.
📌

Now, indulge me to ask you these simple questions.
📍
When was the last time you came to the altar of Prayer, just to guage your relationship with God?

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in our lives?

From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

We monitor the money in our banks as well as that in our pocket....

#We monitor our performances at work and those of our subordinates...

#We monitor our health,

#It's appearing 2023 is the most "pressing need" now amongst politicans.

While we demand for better & best from Government, let us not forget 2023 is just "FEW WEEKS AWAY.."

PDP&APC, daily in the news... PLOTTING & PLANNING. Now, I ask, where are the other political parties

that "SUDDENLY" showed up in 2019?

What are their strategies?
Where are the youths in all these?
Where are those clamouring for a better Nigeria or are we going to pour New Wine in Old Wine Skins?

Are these silent political parties going to suddenly emerge again in November of 2022 to get grants from Government and then go back into oblivion?

It's beginning to look like we are walking the same ropes of 2019 elections, making the same errors or believing the unbelievable

about these politicans being foolish...

Time,. ofcourse, will tell who is wise and who is not.

"Siddon look" is no longer fashionable, if we want a REAL CHANGE.

We must start now and indeed start now for real of we are to make any meaningful impact, come 2023.

We must not

allow these current crop of politicans make us look unwise again in 2023.

The #EndSARS protest, was indeed an eye opener that when we stand together as a formidable team, we will reach out goal.

🔰 *PRAYER4NIGERIA* 🔰 Part 2

You and I know things are not alright in Nigeria.

If we don't take this nation back, "they" won't hand it over.

If we don't do what what needs to be done, the hardship will continue.

Enough of our SIDDON LOOK approach..

Enough of blaming those in their 70s & 80s that refuse to retire.....

we need to rise up and be seen to be ready & well equipped to take over Nigeria.

Sulking and social media commentaries are no criteria for winning elections or being called upon to take elective positions.

When the youths of this country refuse to cease or grab opportunities, then we shouldn't complain when incompetent and thieving people step in or cling on to power

Truth be told, we have allowed these crop of politicians to continually DISTRACT us at critical moments.

We either take it back now, or remain "WHERE" we are

"IN"

Judges 8:20 MSG
Then he spoke to Jether, his firstborn: "Get up and kill them." But he couldn't do it, couldn't draw his sword. He was afraid - he was still just a boy.

We could conclude that afterall, he was just a youth, agreed...

David had his chance against Goliath too, he took it & the rest they say is history.

When God reached out to David desiring to use him to save Israel from Goliath, it was up to David to arise.

A SHORT EXHORTATION

Theme- ...God, you "Deceived" me -Prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah accused God of deceiving him, yes, you read right. No he did not, you might say, o yes he sure did 🙆🏽‍♂️😱
📌
Jeremiah 20:7a KJV
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived...

2.
Incidentally, he was in the "WILL OF GOD" doing exactly what God told him to do. He was speaking the mind of God, yet, he was arrested, thoroughly lashed and thrown in solitary confinement.

"What's going on here? " he asked.
"This can't be happening to me, I'm in the will of

3.
God for crying out loud" yada, yada, yada

How can a "whole Prophet" accuse God of deceiving him, we may ask. Well, he did.

Things were not going the way he thought they would. He had expected the hearers of God's message to be trembling with fear at the godly warning of

4.
impending doom he was dishing out.

He was largely frustrated and disappointed. "Lord, this must be a joke, and if it is, it ain't funny at all..."

You see, when one is in this "precarious state," all manner of stuffs may begin to manifest. While some will pray for strength

5.
to go on to the end, others may be nagging and complaining, and sadly, many fall into the latter category.

Well, we must understand that even in the will of God, unpleasant things do happen.

Even in the will of God, we can grow weary, tired, disappointed, discouraged,

This scripture is not only deep, but, also very profound.

Ephesians 2:6 KJV
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 2:6 MSG
Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

1. "He hath Raised us up..." KJV
"HE picked us up. MSG

2. "...and made us sit together" KJV
"...and set us down" MSG

3. "sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" KJV
"set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah." MSG

Truly, He raised us up. Truly, He picked us up.
Truly, He made us sit 2geda in heavenly places with Christ.
Truly, He set us down in highest heaven with Jesus

These quests. thus arise.

Are we still seated?
Or
Have we walked away because, our ways are at cross-purposes with His

If we are truly seated, we will always carry His fire everywhere we go.
1. Worship wouldn't be a burden.
2. Praise wouldn't be a burden.
3. Gratitude wouldn't be a burden.
4. A lot of stuffs wouldn't throw us under the bus and make us look helpless.

Now, when was the last time we had a daily, weekly or monthly review of where we are?

When was the last time we brought out out "Monitor Guage?"

Have you noticed or observed that, We monitor almost everything in life;
From the petrol in our car to that in our generators.

WHY SHOOT OUR WOUNDED? - Ps. 109:21-31

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. The victim had been listed in fair condition prior to the shooting and was looking forward to

going home. Hospital patients and employees were stunned. A spokesperson said that nothing like this had happened in the 50yrs of the hospital's existence.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say the same for our churches and relationships?

Wouldn't it be encouraging if we

were able to say that in 50yrs of meeting together for worship, fellowship and spiritual healing, we had not had a single instance of a wounded member being cut down by the unkindness of a fellow Christian?

Many among us have experienced the pain that David expressed in

Psalm 109. When he was hurt and vulnerable, insensitive people took advantage of him. Certainly, if he had sinned, he needed their loving correction. what he didn't need was their scorn, gossip, and selfish neglect.

Who shoots his foot after stubbing his toe?
No one in his

right mind and neither should anyone with the mind of Christ act unmercifully toward a wounded brother or sister in the body of Christ. Rather, we must "show mercy" (v.16).

Give me, Lord, a lot of mercy
For my fellow men each day,
Mercy in their many failures
As they struggle on

*Hab 1:5 MSG*
" Look long and hard. Brace yourself for a shock. Something's about to take place and you're going to find it hard to believe.
☝
The last statement i find very intriguing...

👉🏽It strikes one as a statement of CERTAINTY.

"...Something's

about to take place and you're going to find it hard to believe."😱

Brethren, there are things God will do that you will find hard to believe..☑

When Jesus had this strange encounter with Peter by the lake in Luke 5, the resultant effect was unbelievable.😱.. Peter found it

very hard to believe because, the result of the encounter was against all odds.

✔Against the run of circumstances playing out in your life, God will do the unthinkable that will defy human comprehension.
👇🏼
Your testimony will be.. "it could only have been God.. "💃🏼💃🏼

*Acts 16:25 MSG*
Along about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. *The other prisoners couldn't believe their ears* .
👇🏼
Yes, they couldn't believe their ears or would you too?

👉🏼They were in prison & they knew what was to *come...death* , yet they kept on singing & praying.

👉🏼It wasn't that they had any reasonable thing to be thankful for, (at least, from human comprehension.)
👇🏼
A " *normal* " person, would be in fear & trepidation in this situation.

👉🏼They did what any child of God in an unpleasant situation should do.. *.Pray & Praise* & just as everyone else was about to write them all off as insane, the unthinkable happened.👇🏼

Acts 16:26 MSG
Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The jailhouse tottered, every door

flew open, all the prisoners were loose.
👉🏼As you Pray & Praise;
The unthinkable will happen in your life👇🏼
👉🏼Every door shut against you will suddenly open.
👉🏼Everything u were denied, will suddenly find it's way to your doorstep
👉🏼Greater doors for more exploits shall be opened

*Acts 9:40 MSG*
Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: "Tabitha, get up."
👇🏼
It's an entirely different ballgame when you speak directly to a situation.
👇🏼
There is tremendous power backing up the

Word of God when spoken directly at Anything tangible or intangible .

👉🏼Peter had nothing to offer the man by the beautiful game... He only had the Word and that made all the difference to the crippled beggar..

👉🏼 Ezekiel spoke to very dry bones & the bones were restored &

eventually became an exceeding great army. ( *Just think about it for a second* )

👉🏼With Elijah's word, the impossible happened. The sunk iron axe-head floated from the bottom of the river, while the wooden handle sank.

👉🏼By the spoken Word of Jesus, a gold coin was found in

the mouth of a fish to pay tax

👉🏼By His spoken Word directly to Lazarus, He commanded him to come forth, and, he who had been dead for four days came back to life.
👇🏼
Here's the catch...God has exalted His Word even above His name & He backs it up with His integrity.💪🏻

*Speak directly to;*
👉🏼Your business
👉🏼Your marriage
👉🏼Your health
👉🏼Your FINANCES
👉🏼Your Womb
👉🏼Speak to every dead, dying, crawling or confusing. You can even call forth those things that be not as if they were.
👇🏼
Today, as you speak directly, you will see a tangible
