INVASION< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Kings < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>18: 20-40

On Mount Carmel, after it has been clarified between the God of Elijah and the prophets of Baal that the God of Elijah is the Lord God, and there is none to worship but Him, Elijah declared war against the prophets of Baal. 1 Kings 18:40, ÒAnd Elijah said to them, ÔSeize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!Õ So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.Ó Where are you? Where is your location on the ground of God? Have you accepted Him as the only God that is God, the Lord of Lords, the eternal Creator, the One that was, that Is and that will always be? If you have been able to accept Him on that ground, you are in tune with heaven and you are on Mount Carmel. Now take a stand, ask God today that all agents of confusion, disturbances, and wickedness should be seized just like the Baal prophets. Pray that they will not escape the hand that will seize them, ask for them to be brought down just as the Baal prophets were brought down at the Brook of Kishon. Those agents that do not represent God in your life need to be permanently and eternally executed so they will have no life to work against you forever and ever. Do not spare them, go ahead with your weapon (the word of God), invade them, raid them, disable them, unmake them; do not spare them. Pray a standing prayer, let God work on your behalf and victory is certain in Jesus name, amen.

STAND< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Matthew 6:5-15, 1Kings 17:1-7

The word says in James 5:17, ÒElijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years.Ó Elijah prayed a standing prayer, not a standard prayer. A standard prayer is what someone closes their eyes and pray a general prayer; a prayer that does not go beyond the nose of the one that is praying it. A standing prayer is one that a believer, who has a close walk with God, prays without any doubt because the prayer is backed by the power in the word. Taking a stand in prayer is to have taken a stand in the word of God. Elijah has a stand in the word of God. As a result, his prayer was an answer-generating prayer. Do you have a stand in the word of God? Among the stand that will establish you in the power of prayer is to be living in the word so that it will be impossible for the Word of God not to respond. Mark 11:25, ÒAnd whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.Ó Only God knows how many have entered your diary of no forgiveness, claiming that Elijah is a man like you, claiming that you are speaking in tongues. It is a lie, and God does not operate against His word. What you are doing is having a standard prayer, a general prayer. Take your stand in the word of God by living your life in the word, not in the world. Elijah is a man like us but not a mind like ours, or else he would have been praying a standard prayer a, general prayer. Take your stand in the word of God and you will move mountains with your prayer. 

HEARING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 143:7-12

What you have heard in the word of God and what you are now hearing in His word is what will carry you through your journey. The word of God is direction, deliverance, protection and preservation. When you hear Him right it will be right for you. When you fail to hear, you have also heard Him wrongly. You do have a need to hear Him on a daily and regular basis. Psalm 143:8,ÓCause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning. For in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk for I lift up my soul to You.Ó The Psalmist demonstrated here that hearing Him in the morning is what makes the difference for the day. When you begin to make provision to hearing Him first in the morning, trusting Him will be activated in your daily endeavors and what you heard in the morning will be your compass for the day. What you heard from Him first in the morning will be showing the way to walk through the day and it will be your weapon of deliverance from the enemy. There is none that have walked in His way and fallen. However, those who walk in His way have arrived at their expected end. Also, those that are still hearing Him and walking in His way are set to end up in His divine schedule and rest. As a child of God, what are you hearing early in the day? In all that you hear, hear Him right and that will have a direct impact on how you move your feet. He is the faithful God. Ask Him for understanding in your hearing.

EYES OF GOD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 33:13-22

Pray that the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro through out the whole world will locate you in this month. They will locate with you with a favorable visitation. When God remembers, it is always with favor. Also when He visits, it is always with salvation. In all of His remembrance there is visitation. Do you remember the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel in the house of bondage (Egypt)? After over four hundred years, God remembered them and He visited them with salvation. Exodus 12:36, ÒAnd the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.Ó In addition to favor, He brought them out and saved them at the Red Sea that could have covered them so they could not recover. The eye of God is all that you need this month to be able to go out and come every day. Luke 1:50, ÒAnd His eyes is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.Ó Psalm 33:18, ÒBehold the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him on those who hope in His mercy.Ó Rest assured that what you need this month are the Eyes of God which is also the mercy of God and multitudes of protection from His throne will save you. It is left for you to ask Him and He will answer. God will have mercy in Jesus name.

BACKWARD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 19:17-26, Jeremiah 7:21-28

Obeying GodÕs command is the only way to go forward; disobeying His command is the way backward. Jeremiah 7:23, ÒBut this is what I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you that it may be well with you.Ó His way is His commandment; His commandment is His way. Have you found out lately that your going is like going the backward way instead of upward way? God is not an incomplete God neither is He an inconsistent God. He that started a good thing for you will bring it to an expected end. Philippians 1:6, ÒBeing confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.Ó Take a moment and search where you have wronged and where you have to enter a backward way. Have you searched and found out if you have taken to the dictates of your heart? Jeremiah 7:24, ÒYet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.Ó Does the verse sound familiar to your hearing? It is left for you to seek answer and correction in the pages of the word of God. There is clarity in the fact that backward going is the way of death; forward going is the way of life. Sad that < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>LotÕs wife is not around. She would have been in the best position to highlight what going backward is all about for your understanding. It is not only when you turn and take a step back that you have entered a backward journey but when you begin to look back you have also taken a backward step. Ask LotÕs wife. Take to the word of God and it will take you forward not backward.
