The Power of Prayer in Accessing Your Victory as More Than a Conqueror.

 

''Accessing Your Victory as More Than a Conqueror''

Romans 8:37 (NIV):

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

As believers, to continually walk in the victory of being more than conquerors, we must be consistent and fervent in our prayer life. Prayer is vital. Those who kneel before the Lord do not bow before man. It is through prayer that we invite the Holy Spirit to shape and guide our lives. He enables us to claim our redemptive rights as conquerors.

Prayer is not just a ritual; it is communication—a conversation with God. We call on Him based on His Word and wait for His response. When we pray, God speaks back to us, revealing His will and bringing about change in our lives. In the spiritual realm, prayer acts as a form of warfare, bringing forth all the blessings, promises, and victories that God has already provided for us, from the spiritual realm into our physical lives.

Warring in prayer is more than just words spoken; it is a heartfelt cry to God that stirs His intervention in our lives. There are several reasons why we must engage in prayer and warfare:

1. Prophecies Require Prayer to Be Fulfilled

Sometimes, people wonder why a prophecy hasn’t yet manifested. It’s important to remember that prophecy does not always automatically come to pass. Often, prophecies are delivered, but they need to be prayed through to come to fruition. Demonic forces may hold back the answers, and it’s through prayer that we clear the spiritual atmosphere, releasing God's promises into our lives. As we stand in prayer, we partner with God to see His words come to fruition.

2. The Devil Does Not Relent

The enemy is constantly at work, and household wickedness is on the rise. Matthew 10:36 (NIV) reminds us,
"A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."
Similarly, Micah 7:6 (NIV) states,
"For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies are the members of his own household."
This highlights that the enemy often works through close relationships to create conflict. Through persistent prayer, we can confront and dismantle these spiritual attacks, ensuring that we walk in victory.

3. Accessing Our Redemptive Benefits

When we pray, we are not only speaking to God; we are also exercising dominion over the physical world through the spiritual realm. Since life begins in the spiritual, what we change in the spirit world will manifest in the natural. Through prayer, we align ourselves with God’s will, claiming the blessings, favor, and protection He has promised.

Warring in prayer has the power to dismantle any obstacles standing in our way. It provides divine protection, safety, and ensures consistent fellowship with God. As we engage in consistent prayer, we deepen our relationship with Him, gaining more understanding and insight into His ways.

In conclusion, prayer is not just a tool for personal growth; it is essential for claiming victory and walking in the fullness of God's promises. Through persistent and heartfelt prayer, we can access our redemptive rights, defeat spiritual opposition, and live out the truth that we are more than conquerors in Christ.

Do you believe that God is For you, God is in you and God is with you?

 

Consciousness of God's presence: Do you believe that God is For you, God is in you and God is with you? 

It's easy to get caught up in the enemy's strategy and forget that God has a protection covering around us. We often try to convince ourselves that God has a plan for us, even when we've received a personal word from Him, and also find scriptural reference to the promise. 

Can we say disbelief is far safer than believing? 

Can we say expecting nothing good is the best way to live out our lives? 

A recent incident stands out in my memory. While riding public transportation, the wind blew some nylon bags towards our vehicle. The driver and passenger dodged, despite the windshield protection. In that moment, the Holy Spirit whispered, "See you - so conscious of the attack, yet unaware of My protection."

We're often more aware of curses, spells, and threats than the blessings that break them. We focus on breakups and rejection instead of God's provision and plan. But God says, "See Me, see that I have a greater plan for you, a plan that involves hope and a future."

God wants us to trust Him like a little baby trusts their father. The baby knows the father will catch them, no matter what. Similarly, God desires us to step into the consciousness that He is for us, with us, and in us.

The sun can scorch but I've got the best shade for you; the rain could fall but I have prepared a safety cover for you and maybe the project might have not pulled through but that's not all there use is.

We truly come in the understanding of God's word in these three scriptures that boldly tells us: 

Romans 8:31 reminds us, "If God IS FOR US, who can be against us?" (NIV) 

1 Corinthians 3:16 - "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells IN YOUR MIDST?" (NIV)

- Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I AM WITH YOU; do not be frightened, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (NIV)

Even when we struggle to believe, we can speak this scripture and run to God's arms, knowing He provides an "all-you-can-eat" menu of blessings.

What would you have God be to you in this moment? Amen.

Who Holds Your Light?

 Who Holds Your Light? 

"As long as I am the one holding the light, it will not go off." 

Have you ever experienced walking with an unstable light source? 

Are you walking in a tunnel, expecting an end, but it seems far. The Lights in the tunnels seem darkened because the light source is unknown, so there is no way to turn them on or off.

Due to instability in Nigeria, we often rely on alternative power sources. But what if these alternatives fail? 

Despite human advancements, people can't be trusted 100%. However, God's Word is a sure word of prophecy - it will come to pass.

As long as God has given us His Word, He will ensure its fulfillment. Today, God says, "As long as I am holding the light, it won't go off." This is the living Word of God, not mere encouragement or motivation. When we make God our source, He provides unwavering support - a light that won't fade.

The enemy may employ strategies, but God holds the light to victory. The question is, who holds your light? Is it left to chance? Have you made Christ the lamp holder in your marriage, career, business, health, finance, and family?

I thought of why I should need a stable source of light in 2025, and it made me think of the plenty of discomfort we try to manage when there is a power out. 

And God's word goes on to state this in

 1 John 5:19: And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

"Because the whole world lieth in wickedness" and so we need a bright light to illuminate our every path, the Lord has promised us his light in John 8:12 (NIV)"Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Certainly, as light as we let God lamp our paths we will know no darkness.

As long as Christ isn't your lamp holder, your light may go out. God says, "As long as I am holding the light, it will not go off."

The Power of Redemption: God's "Redo" Button

The Power of Redemption: God's "Redo" Button

My sister asked me to type a document for her. After completing it, I handed her the system to review the file. Unintentionally, she deleted the document. Panicked, she exclaimed, "Oh no, I've cleared the message!" She quickly clicked the "redo" button, restoring the deleted file.

This experience made me ponder: if humans can create a "redo" button to recover lost documents, how much more can our Creator, the God of heaven and earth, redeem and restore us? God doesn't just have a "redo" button; He offers a transformative power that can change our lives.

Hebrews 4:16 encourages us to "come boldly to the throne of our gracious God." When we approach Him with faith, He provides a new beginning, a "reset" button that erases our past mistakes and wrongs. Unlike the "redo" button on a computer, God's redemption doesn't just restore what's been lost; it gives us a new life, free from the burdens of our past.

Whenever I held a discussion with my sister on this topic, she would sometimes say if someone were to be a murderer and walk to God, God could give the individual a new chapter, a new beginning, and the reset button is activated at that moment. 

God gives man the privilege of charting a new course and beginning a new chapter. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" When we come to God, an exchange occurs: Christ takes our old, sinful nature, and we receive a new life in Him.

I love the promise of newness that God offers. He takes our worn-out, tattered lives and gives us a fresh start. Every day, He offers us a new beginning, a chance to start anew.

Will you accept God's offer today? 

Welcome to the season of "the new".
