“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel (Isaiah 45:2-3)”
My treasured friend and partner,
I am glad to be with you today as we begin our discussion in the new year 2010. It’s my joy to bring you a word from the Lord in the new series entitled: “ENJOYING THE TREASURES OF DARKNESS”. Personally, I am convinced, beyond doubt, that more than at any other time in the past, we are in a season when God is strategically placing believers in places of authority to prepare for a global shifting of power out of the world’s hands and into theirs. His goal is to promote you and I to a position where we can directly affect the lives of millions in the world. The ultimate plan is to get as many people born again as possible.
Can you imagine the worldwide impact the church will make once Christians take over the major industries and corporations of the world – telecommunications, real estate, medicine, Information Technology, academics, engineering and so on? And I want you to get ready – the days of glory for the church is here! We are the answers that the world desperately need in times like these. This is your time, there is a treasure already prepared ahead of you to possess.

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:20,21).”
When you speak words, you speak things into existence. You can frame your world by the words you speak. Just as God spoke the entire universe into existence, you can create your own world and experience in life through the fruit of your lips. To reinforce and speak what God says concerning you this year, we provide the following confession of faith to help you shape your life. Please, meditate on them and confess them loudly several times:

Dear treasured Friend and Partner,
I am pleased to welcome you to a new and exciting year 2010. As a ministry, we look forward to a year of new opportunities, new possibilities, new hopes, and a new privilege to pursue our purpose on earth and actualize our dreams.
Let me quickly seize this opportunity to inform you that the Lord has told us that this year will be a “SEASON OF FRUITFULNESS”. As you may have noticed, the world system is going through a season of uncertainties and darkness which has resulted in economic recess, increasing violence and war, political instability, anxiety and fear. In the midst of all these, God said it is your own season of moving to greater heights in life. Now is your season to get up and shine for your light is come and the glory of God is risen upon you (Isaiah 60:1-3). This is the time of glory for the church and God is pouring out His Spirit beyond measure on his own people for supernatural success and manifestation. Therefore, it does not matter how dark things become in the world, you are going to shine in the midst of the darkness (Psalm 112:4).

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14)
Word for Today:
All through history, God has manifested himself to man in three phases: (i) by divine visitation (ii) by dwelling among us (iii) by dwelling in us.

Today’s Verse:
“Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it (Psalms 37:5, BBE)”
Today’s Word:
Every new year, many people are in the habit of making so-called “New Year Resolutions” outlining a set of “dos” and “donts” for the new year. No sooner the first few months pass than it becomes hard to keep to their resolutions. I believe what you and I need as christians are not new year resolutions, rather we need a written plan of what we aim at achieving in the new year in all aspects of our life – spiritual, health, family, career, business, financial, intellectual, personal, and community.

Today’s Verse:
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth. But he will not allow anything that you don’t allow (Matt 16:19, CEV)
Today’s Word:
As a member of the body of Christ, you and I have been given the authority to establish the kingdom of God here on earth. We are to ensure that his will is done in our lives and community just as it is done in heaven. This is important because, everything we see manifested in the physical world (whether good or bad) are controlled by the invisible (spiritual) realm.

Today’s Verse:
The LORD was helping the Israelites defeat the Amorites that day. So about noon, Joshua prayed to the LORD loud enough for the Israelites to hear: “Our LORD, make the sun stop in the sky over Gibeon, and the moon stand still over Aijalon Valley.” So the sun and the moon stopped and stood still until Israel defeated its enemies. This poem can be found in The Book of Jashar. The sun stood still and didn’t go down for about a whole day (Joshua 10:13, CEV).
Today’s Word:
Every sportman and woman understands the importance of a few extra time. You probably have watched many football games that were decided in a few extra minutes after the normal regulation time of 90 minutes. No time is ever too short to become a loser or a winner in the game of life. As we approach the end of 2009, you are probably ending with a feeling of “there’s still so much to do and less time to accomplish them.” And, of course, the natural tendency is to give up and suggest it’s already over for the year. But, I have a word for you today: it’s never too late to win.

Verse for Today:
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18)”.
Word for Today:
If you are to count your blessings in 2009, what are the things that would easily make your testimony list? Perhaps, a new car, a new house, a new job, a promotion in the workplace, or a financial breakthrough. Yes, there is nothing wrong in celebrating the provision of all these, but there are greater blessings that God wants us to focus our minds on and celebrate than the ones we can see physically. Your “true” riches and blessings are beyond what money can buy and are neither physical.

Verse for Today:
“And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod (2 Samuel 6:14)”
Word for Today:
As a believer, you are called to operate in two offices: (i) as a king, and (ii) as a priest (Rev 1:6; 5:10). When you relate with the world around you, you must step into your office as a “king” and take charge through your words. You power as a king is in your words. But, when it comes to your relationship with God, you must fuction as a priest, offering praises and spiritual sacrifices unto God. At such point in time, you must put down your crowns and come before the king of kings in humility, worship and adoration.
In the scripture for today, we saw King David danced before the Lord with all his might when the ark of the covenant (a symbol of God’s presence) was returned to Israel. Notice the Bible says, he was girded with “linen ephod” which is a description of a priestly robe. That means, David put off his crown and his “prestigeous” royal apparel to take on the robe of a “common” priest before the Lord. And that same passage showed us that his wife, Michal (the daughter of Saul), scorn him and wonders why a whole king could stoop so low to take on the robe of a priest and danced before the Lord in the sight of all the people. But David refused to allow pride and his prestige in the eyes of the people to deny him the opportunity to rejoice before the Lord and offer him quality worship.
Friend, as we celebrate God’s goodness in 2009 this month, you and I must also put aside our pride, our prestige, our job titles, our crowns, our successes, or any accomplishment that may hinder us from giving God high quality praise and worship when we come into His presence. You must put on your garment of praise and thanksgiving no matter who you are or your prestige in the society.
Have a very blessed day!
Prayer for Today:
Dear Father, thank you for making me a king and a priest. You have given me the authority to rule and reign on the earth. Lord, I put aside my crowns and accomplishment for 2009 and bow down before your throne today to appreciate your presence in my life. I put on my dancing shoes and my garment of praise. Thank you for being my Lord and Saviour (Amen).

Dear Friend,
I want to share with you some daily word of prayer this month as we end the year 2009 and prepare to take our place in 2010. I have captioned this prayer series: “31 DAYS OF CELEBRATING GOD’S GOODNESS”. Here is the word of God for you today…
Bible verses for the day:
“Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my savior (Habakkuk 2:17,18)”
Word for the day:
Have you started taking stock of your life in 2009. December time is usually a time to close the books and reflect on the past 12 months. For many people, there seems to be many reasons to celebrate: a new job or promotion on current job, protection while travelling, God’s faithfulness on their family and relationships etc. For some others, the year probably presented them with the greatest challenges they have ever seen: job loss; slowdown in business; loss of assets and financial investments; challenges in family and relationships. It almost seems there is really not much to celebrate and rejoice over. But, I want to challenge you that no matter your condition in 2009, there is a reason for us all to rejoice and be glad - because of who God is in our lives.
As humans, it is very easy to thank God when we see evidence of his blessings on our lives, but it takes a higher level of trust and faith to thank him when we are confronted with challenges of life. Thanksgiving, however, should not be conditioned on what God has done alone rather it should be a lifestyle and an attitude for all times. In Acts Chapter 16, when Paul and Silas were locked in the prison gates, they chose to sing and praise God in the midst of their difficulties. The Bible says, suddenly the prison door opened and their chains fell off. When we choose to praise and rejoice in the midst of challenges and difficulties of life, we automatically position ourselves for God to move on our behalf and deliver us. I want you to step into this higher dimension of praise and watch every prison gates to your blessing open on their own accord.
Have a blessed day!
Prayer for today:
Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me to the last month of 2009. I thank you for all your blessings on my family, career, and job in 2009. But far above all these, I thank you for being the Lord over my life. I chose today to rejoice in the midst of whatever challenges of life I may have faced in 2009 knowing that you are with me always. I thank you for your thoughts towards me and the the plans you have for my life (Amen).
