CREATING THE PLATFORM FOR DIVINE VISITATION.
Fruitfulness is the heritage of every child of God. Before you were born, God had already decreed your fruitfulness. To be fruitful means to produce good results in all areas of life. The fall of man notwithstanding, God did not withdraw the covenant of fruitfulness. Unfruitfulness therefore is the handiwork of satan. All-round fruitfulness glorifies God because this is His children`s right. It terminates dryness and barrenness in your life. The sickle for all-round fruitfulness is faith-powered praise and through this you provoke God`s visitation. Faith is the expression of what is written by God concerning your life. It is a weapon for fighting and attaining conquest over all your life`s battles. Without faith, we cannot walk with God or even please Him. Abraham was faith personified in his days. He and his wife-Sarah were old. Hope was almost lost about bearing a child but their faith in God completed the work for them. They became fruitful and bore Isaac. Remember at all times that there is no hopeless situation in the presence of God. All it requires is for your faith to be in place. The devil always threaten the faith of man with all kinds of issues that creates doubts and disbelief. Faith and praise are covenant virtues that enhance your value in the presence of God. Your faith gives God pleasure to open up His treasure. Your heart must be open to Him for you to receive your desires. Through faith in Him, impossibilities are turned to possibilities. Also, praise pleases God, so both faith and praise are the two important virtues that please God by which you can access his treasure. When you please God through your praise, He opens up the heaven for you to experience dominion and sudden visitation in all areas of your life. Faith pleases God hence it amplifies and empowers your praise to produce maximum result. Faith therefore is the weapon of war to which satan has no power of resistance. Faith in God`s promises for your life will definitely result in answers that will glorify Him. Faith in God rescued Sarah from the power of barrenness. In conclusion, praise is the sickle that harvests the miracle you received through faith. A sinful heart cannot praise God acceptably as such praise is an abomination before God. Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour for your praise to be acceptable.
ON YOUR WAY TO THE PROMISE LAND.

For the Lord has promised good concerning Israel. And if you will go with us, it shall be that whatever good that the Lord does to us, the same we will do to you..........................Just as the Almighty God spoke to Moses about leading the children of Israel from Egypt and granting them their inheritance in Him, God also spoke to me in the year 2004 to...Raise up a people that will develop a godly view about their lives through the power of writing with inspirations coming from the Holy Spirit via the Holy Bible.

MAXIMIZING THE BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING.
Fasting is abstinence from food to seek the face of God. Fasting is not optional for a Christian as it is a command from God. Through fasting and prayer, you are entitled to blessing that cannot be cursed by the devil. It is essential to engage prayer with fasting otherwise it`s purpose will be defeated. You abstain from food in order to obtain fresh empowerment. Jesus too fasted for 40 days and nights in the wilderness so you too should fast and pray in order to experience double portion. We are in the fasting days of the church. You cannot partake supernatural experience without prayer and fasting. Jesus said you need to fast so that signs and wonders can follow you. Fasting turns you into a supernatural man which makes satan and his forces to keep away from your life(your finances, children, career, business and so on). Fasting for all is for our profiting in accordance to the commandment of God. It is to groom us and not to grieve us. I implore you to meditate on the whole book of Isaiah 58. Beware of your sellout of your birthright and destiny by not fasting as satan could use food to trap you as he did to Adam in the garden of Eden.
HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING.
You determine how you are blessed through the following...
1. Define your goals and objectives from the onset. Have a focus and target throughout your fasting period. Take a particular issue as your prayer request to pray on daily basis.
2. Prepare to engage your heart. God looks at your heart and not your face. Hannah at shiloh engaged her heart and received her request.
3. Confess every known sin and iniquity. Sin and iniquities hinder prayer which then result in delay of your blessing.
4. Come neat without any spiritual blemish. Settle any known issue you think could stand as a stumbling block to your blessing such as unforgiveness, bitterness, offence, grudges, malice etc. Always approach God with an open heart.
5. Demonstrate the spirit of love towards all. Give also to the poor as it will give speed to the answers of your prayers. Visit and share your blessings with the widows, orphan and the afflicted. Note that you cannot operate in faith and receive anything from God with bitterness or hatred in your heart.
6. Come with thanksgiving, praise and worship, engage yourself with spiritual songs to God.
7. Meditate on scriptures relevant to your goals.
BLESSEDNESS OF FASTING.
1. Sanctification...You will be free from bad habit through fasting and prayer.
2. Answers to prayers...God will show up in answers to your prayers.
3. Showers of blessing...If you are born again and you are living in sin, this is the time to say NO to sin and YES to Jesus. Or have you been born again one time or the other but backslidden, Jesus is saying...I will forgive you, come over, let me purge you again before it is too late. It`s your season of greatness!

EXPLOITS BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and all the ends of the earth.
Go into the world and preach the gospel to all men. He that believes shall be saved and he that does not believe shall be condemned. Lo, I am with you till the close of the age..............................Christ...the Son of God is our Saviour and the propitiation for our sins and the sins of as many people that will believe in what He did for them on the cross of Calvary. He lived on earth to show us how we ought to walk and rule over the affairs of life as Adam did. He also died and resurrected triumphantly from the grave to reconcile us back to God so that we can be heirs of God and not be treated as dogs in life. His ministry on earth was accomplished by the mighty POWER of the Holy Spirit. When He died on the cross, it was the mighty POWER of the Holy Spirit that raised Him triumphantly from the grave for if He did not resurrect from the grave, there will be nothing called CHRISTIANITY. When Christ was done with His assignment on earth, He granted His disciples who were saved through His ministry...the ministry of RECONCILIATION. Their task was to reconcile mankind back to God by getting them saved from the yoke of sin. It is interesting to note that they could not embark on this task without the POWER of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and endued them with power from on high, they became brand new men. They were able to accomplish the task of reconciling people to God effortlessly by preaching the message of Salvation to them. Now, the Apostles have finished their assignment on earth and the message of RECONCILIATION has been handed down not to pastors alone but to ALL CHRISTIANS including YOU if you have been saved. The message of reconciliation comes in various forms either by preaching, speaking, writing, acting/dramatizing and singing to people with a view to winning their hearts to God. It takes the POWER of the Holy Spirit to effectively disseminate the message of reconciliation to people and win their hearts to God because it is the Holy Spirit that will give you the message that you will get across to the people. It is the Holy Spirit that will breathe upon your message which will bring about a desired change in the hearts of the people which in turn will bring about the expected reconciliation and change of lives in the positive way. For example, in the year 2004, the Holy Spirit gave me a message/vision of inspiring people across the nations of the earth with the POWER of the printed/written word with inspirations being drawn from the Holy Bible and from that year till now, He has given me ideas as to how to accomplish this glorious task of reaching out to people across the globe. For example, in that same year 2004, He gave me the idea of sending articles in the form of e-mails to people`s e-mail boxes and through this avenue, over 1500 people across the nations of the earth were reached. In the year 2007, He gave me the idea of building a website that will be a haven of divine inspirations to the nations and after the website was built and commissioned that same year, thousands of people in different nations were reached. As at now, the website is being hosted by GOOGLE which is one of the most visited search engines in the world. Through GOOGLE, uncountable number of people have unlimited access to my website. In the year 2009, the Holy Spirit inspired one of my friends residing in the United Kingdom to build a blog for me and after it was launched, I was given the admin details and over 90 inspirational articles has been posted till date on the blog. Interestingly, GOOGLE is also hosting the blog and uncountable number of people across the nations have unlimited access to it even on their phones. As at today, we have over 4000 page views on the blog in 28 nations including United States of America, Nigeria, Germany, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Ghana, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, South Korea, France, India, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Venezuela, Colombia, Serbia, Thailand, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Finland, China, Hong Kong and Indonesia according to the dashboard statistics of the blog. In the year 2010, The Holy Spirit inspired me to create a Facebook group that will be a source of inspirations to people and the group was created. As at today, we have over 1000 people on the group. As we entered this year 2013, The Holy Spirit inspired me to spread His message of reconciliation to as many christian/inspirational groups as possible on Facebook and I sent invitations to a number of Christian/inspirational Facebook groups in which some accepted my requests. As at today, I am sending this article to over 200 groups on Facebook and the people reading this write up are located in different nations of the earth. Also, this year, He inspired me to launch an sms club that will be sending text messages to people across the nations. The sms club under my leadership was inaugurated and as at today, we have over 150 people located in Nigeria, United States, United Kingdom and Canada on our sms mailing list. He has also spoken to me concerning some things pertaining to my ministry in years to come and I have jotted them down in my Book of Visions waiting for them to materialize and come to fruition in His own appointed time. In my story, It was the Holy Spirit that gave me the vision in the year 2004, He gave me the ideas/strategies to go about its fulfillment in the years that proceeded and He is the one inspiring the messages that I am sending on all the Outreach platforms that my ministry is serving today. Show me any ministry/vision/dream that is born and sustained by the Holy Spirit and I will show you an enduring, prosperous and fruitful ministry, vision or dream. Show me any ministry, vision or dream that is being sustained by mere talents, gifts and human skills/mannerisms and I will show you one that is bound to crash in a matter of time. It is time to LOOK UP to the Holy Spirit for His POWER to birth the visions/message of reconciliation in reaching out to lives across the nations of the earth. It`s your time to manifest the Sonship you possess in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

OPERATING WITH THE KINGDOM POWER.
The Lord`s prayer goes thus...Our Father who hath in Heaven, thy Kingdom come...We always pray that God`s Kingdom should come on earth. John the baptist came to preach the gospel...preparing the way for Jesus and baptizing people. He was a man that told the truth as presented by the word of God. When Herod took Herodias...his brother`s wife as his own wife, John told Herod to his face that what he did was wrong. It came a time that John was arrested and taken to the prison. He further sent his disciples to Christ to ask if Christ was the messiah or should they be expecting another one. Why the question? He was expecting the messiah to come and save him from the situation that he found himself. Once he did not see the manifestation of the messiah in his situation, he started to doubt. Christ`s reply to John`s disciples was straight as He said that they should go and tell John what they saw Him(Christ) do...the miracles and the preaching of the good news.
Christ further told the crowd about John the baptist. He said that none had risen greater than John the baptist among mankind that is born of a woman but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John. This implies that John had the Kingdom of God within him but sadly, he was looking out for a Messiah. Christ could have easily delivered him from the prison but He was expecting John to respond as a man of the Kingdom. Christ was talking about the Kingdom of God suffering violence and the violent taking it by force. For John to have been delivered, he needed to have been violent by taking his place in God`s Kingdom. As a child of God`s Kingdom, we need to forcefully take what belongs to us. Christ expected much from John as a man who knew a lot about the Kingdom. God knows what to do about situations and challenges we go through but he needs us to react to those situations before He takes action meaning that it is our reactions that determines God`s actions. Come to think of it...why would Jesus Christ be praying while His disciples were sleeping. The burden he was bearing was just more than the disciples reasoning and He needed to be violent in His own context for actually achieving what He came to do.
The Kingdom of God is yours not by complaining that your situation will change but by action. David made inquiry when he lost all that he had and he was able to reclaim all that he lost. My friend, to take back all that the enemy has stolen from you...you must stand up and operate with God`s Kingdom power. When Christ`s time was not yet up, he did not allow Himself to be arrested because He knew that it was not yet time...a good example of operating in God`s Kingdom power. It is our responsibility to operate with God`s Kingdom power by not accepting anything that comes our way but to be ready to stay firm and not to take NO for an answer. At this point, I will like to inform you that if you put your hope in the kingdom of this world, please try and have a re-think because the Kingdom of this world is already failing big time. See how the global economy is crashing and people can`t really explain it. The Kingdom of this world is already collapsed. The Kingdom of God will cater for your welfare as it is of great concern to God and as such, you cannot fail. How can you operate in God`s Kingdom if you don`t know the King and if you are not sure if you are a bonafide child of the Kingdom?
ABUNDANT LIFE.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy but I came that you may have and enjoy life and have it in abundance...............................The word of God is a prophetic picture that shows the end from the beginning. In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth with Light, firmament, green vegetation, waters(seas, oceans, rivers, lakes etc) and animals. As if this was not enough, God also created man in His image and after His own likeness. In fact, He breathed into a moulded clay and His breath(Spirit) gave rise to man and man became a living being. Man was superior to every living thing that had breath that existed because of the spirit, soul and body that man had. God blessed man with fruitfulness and multiplication and granted him inexplicable dominion over all things. Everything on earth was subject to man`s dominion and man had authority, prestige, power, dominion and beauty until the robber(the devil) showed up. The robber is good at selling lies to take his victims captive. If we can successfully counter the devil`s lies with the truth of God`s word, we will never fall captive to his lies but we cannot overcome his lies if we are not conversant with the truth of God`s word as contained in the Holy Bible. The truth of God`s word given to man in the beginning was that man must not eat of the fruit of a particular tree called the tree of life but when the thief came to man, he sold a lie to him that if man could eat of that fruit, man would be exactly like God and that nothing would happen to him. When man accepted the lie, man fell flat completely and lost all the glory, beauty, dominion and colour that God gave him in the beginning as he was spiritually dead and a spiritually dead man cannot access the treasures of the promises of God. So the devil stole the dominion, authority, beauty and colour of man. He killed man spiritually as man lost contact and fellowship with God and he finally destroyed man as man was sent out from the garden of pleasure/dominion and was reduced to nothingness by depending on the sweat of his brow for survival which was not so in the beginning at the garden of pleasure. But the story did not end there as Jesus came. Jesus...the Son of God born of a woman and coming after the order of the flesh came to showcase the kind of dominion that Adam showcased in the garden of Eden. He exhibited dominion over the fish of the sea, the fig-tree, the waves of the sea, demons and agents of darkness and He worked in supernatural prosperity. He sacrificed His life to reconcile man to God and to recover all that the devil stole from man and to take man back to the state that he was in the beginning at the garden of pleasure. His sacrificed LIFE gave LIFE to the stolen, killed, destroyed, battered, tattered, buffeted life that man inherited from the devil and in turn gave man abundant life of dominion, prestige, beauty, colour, fruitfulness, joy, abundance, health and prosperity. He that will enjoy the abundant life that Christ has to offer must of a necessity believe and accept all that Christ did for him/her on the cross of Calvary and he/she must be a fanatical follower of Christ in giving attention to His words as written in the Holy Bible. The devil is eternally defeated as far as Heaven is concerned. With his eyes wide open, Christ went down to hell and stripped him naked of all powers and dominions and authorities and splendor and he is left with nothing except LIES. He is still in the business of selling lies to people especially believers because he wants to steal from them, kill them spiritually and eventually destroy them in hell. The only way a believer can continue to silence the devil is to be a studious reader of God`s word in order to locate what Christ has done for him/her via redemption. The devil is still selling lies to some Christians that they will continue to live a sickly life when the word states clearly that...He took away our infirmities and carried away our sickness so that by His stripes we have been healed. The devil is also selling lies to some Christians that they will die barren not having the children of their own when the word states clearly that...Be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. Kings and nations shall come and proceed out of your stock. He is also selling lies to some people that they may not live long due to untimely death when the word says that...With long life will I satisfy you and show you my Salvation. A child among them shall die a hundred years old. You shall come to your grave in old age just like a shock of grain goes up in its season. The devil is still going about aimlessly selling lies of failure, depression, poverty etc to Christians when Christ has made provisions for them. The unfortunate thing about this cycle is that when the devil`s lies are believed and accepted as true, he will go ahead to steal all that Christ has done for the believer. If he succeeds in stealing all that Christ has done for the believer, he will proceed to kill and destroy that precious life. On the other side of the coin, if a Christian accepts and believes all that Christ did for him/her in redemption, sooner or later, he/she will start to see the fruits of redemption in his/her life. The fruits of redemption includes health/healing, fruitfulness in all of life`s ramifications, success, joy, dominion, prosperity, beauty, colour, prestige etc. May your life spring forth with the full blessedness of redemption having surrendered your life to the AUTHOR OF LIFE Himself....Christ Jesus and having escaped the yoke/bondage of the devil that is in our world through multifaceted LIES/DECEPTION. I see your life springing forth with divine blessings, peace, joy, prosperity and colour as you follow Christ fanatically by obeying His words as contained in the Scriptures. It is well with you!

A LIGHT TO OUR WORLD.
Once more, Jesus addressed the crowd and said...I am the LIGHT of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark but will have the LIGHT which is LIFE...........................Darkness is a very horrible thing to behold. Nothing tangible can be done in darkness. Nothing good, worthwhile, remarkable and glorious can be done in a state of darkness. Interestingly, darkness had existed since the beginning of beginnings. In the beginning, the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. Before the beginning began, the TRINITY had existed. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were at attention in the Spiritual realm before the beginning began so when darkness appeared on the face of the deep, the Holy Spirit began to hover upon the waters and God spoke Light into existence. Jesus being the creative force in the trinity and the WORD Himself created Light. It is interesting to note that everything else in the universe were not created until Light was created. In the New testament, Jesus introduced Himself as the Light of the world. The new testament...precisely the gospel according to the book of John also introduced Jesus as the WORD of God. So we can say that the word of God is the true Light. The word of God is Light indeed. The amount of God`s word in you is directly proportional to the Light you will carry,exhibit and show forth. In our present day, we have the candle light, lantern light, bulb light, fluorescent light, flood light etc. The difference between these sources of light is seen in the intensity of their illumination. At new birth, a believer has a measure of light but with time, the intensity of the light will increase/decrease in direct proportion to the depth of the word of God in that believer. Light is needed to conquer and overcome darkness at all times. Darkness manifest itself in lives as poverty, sicknesses, sorrow/depression, barrenness etc and the only solution to all of these is SUFFICIENT LIGHT as that light shines in darkness and darkness cannot comprehend or understand it. If you are experiencing any form of darkness in any area of your life, all you have to do is to follow Jesus who is the authentic LIGHT and the LIGHT is the word of God. When you locate as many words as possible that deals with the form of darkness you are passing through and you speak those words directly to your circumstance...in no time you will start to see a measure of light shinning to illuminate the dark spots. In the prophetic scripture for today, it is written clearly that the LIGHT is LIFE. This is very true because if God`s word of healing which is Light shines in a sick body, the Light will of a necessity give life to that sick body. If God`s word of prosperity shines bright in a poverty-stricken vessel, The Light will of necessity give life to that poor vessel. Also, if God`s word of fruitfulness shines in a barren life, the Light contacted from the word will birth fruitfulness to the recipient of the word. So also is the Light of Peace,Success,Joy,Favour,Marital Fulfillment etc which is contractible from the word of God. In the beginning, when the Light which gave rise to various lights was created, all other creatures/creations of God came into existence and the earth became a haven of beauty having escaped the horror of darkness. The good news that I have for you today is that Christ Jesus is our true Light in this time and season and as you make up your mind to follow Him whole-heartedly by giving attention to His words...every iota of darkness in your life will give way to His Light and your life will consequently attract beauty,glory,pleasantness and peace in Jesus precious name. Shalom!
