PLUNGE AND PRAY | NOVEMBER 2018


Those who chase God are caught by the benefits others seek.

8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63:8

1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.
Psalm 42:1

31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:33 NLT




Seeking God is like digging deep upwards.
 Big fishes don't swim in shallow waters;
Treasures await hunger spurred actions towards God.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; 
all Your waves and billows have gone over me.
Psalm 42:7

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.
Psalm 107:23-24


ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father, thank you for this eleventh month; 
I bless you for 11th hour rewards and miracles.
(Matthew 20:6-9)

Father, thank you for you crowning this year with a bountiful harvest such that even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.
(Psalm 65:11)


DECLARATIONS
THE Author is also THE Finisher; He only starts what He has finished.
He knows the end from the beginning and can begin at the end.
The prophecies spoken over my life this year have been done in eternity and are unfolding in this season.

Because God said it; it's done! He's TOO faithful to fail!
Therefore, I insist on the fulfillment of every prophecy in line with God's Word.

As I play my part, I see God giving me a FRESH START this eleventh month.
This is NOT just another November of my years; 
it is a November of NOVELTY (new, unique, original & unusual)

Every door of opportunity opened by Grace that I didn't walk through; 
Mercy has reopened in this new season. 
As THE WAY steps in, my walls become doors.
I locate true helpers of destiny, bearing worthy counsel.

As I seek His Face anew this month, I receive the benefits of His Hands.
The Open Heavens of this season, make this 11th month, a November like No Other.

Thank You Jesus!

REFRESH 1:1 | NOVEMBER 2014
Excerpt: THE Author is also THE Finisher; He only starts what He has finished.
He knows the end from the beginning…and can begin at the end.
A prophecy therefore, is not what He intends to do in time but that which He has done in eternity which we are yet to see in time.
God says what He means and means what He says…
 IF HE said it...it's done...He's TOO faithful to fail.
It’s time to run even more vigorously with every sure word of prophecy as we insist on their fulfillment.
As we play our part, I see God giving us a FRESH START this eleventh month.
God IS Good!

NOVELTY NOVEMBER | November 2015
Excerpt: When she says “I do”, the status of the bride changes immediately. 
Right after saying those words, she looks the same but her level has changed.
It is possible for something new to happen; unnoticed and unannounced.
In writing 11, the numbers may look alike but they surely differ in value and positioning.
This may look like just another November, but it isn’t.
This is NOT just another November of your years; it is a November of NOVELTY.
(novelty: the quality of being new, unique, original, or unusual; newness)
God Bless You!

WayMaker | November 2016
Excerpt: When God's Grace opens some doors of opportunity we don't see;
God's Mercy keeps these doors opened until we notice and walk through them.
When THE WAY steps in, walls become doors;
He's not just "the God of a second chance" but "the God of yet another chance"... 
Like Samuel, may we locate true helpers of destiny, bearing worthy counsel.
God Bless You!

A NOVEMBER LIKE NO OTHER | NOVEMBER 2017
Excerpt: The number ‘11’ is also the number ‘1’ on another dimension;
A fresh start. A new beginning.
Those who Seek His Face, don’t lose out on the benefits of His Hands.
May the Open Heavens of this season,
Make this 11th month, a November like No Other.
God Bless You.

ENLARGE AND INCREASE | OCTOBER 2018




When we pray, God responds;
When God responds, we should be responsible.


2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!
3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.
4 “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.
Isaiah 54:2-4 (NLT)


14 May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 115:14-15



It’s a lack of faith to pray for rain and leave home without an umbrella.
Adding works to your faith makes you too busy to doubt.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
James 2:18

18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
1 Timothy 1:18




Warring with prophecy is like tuning your radio to a station.
It is out of place to say the station is not on air if the radio is not tuned in.

When the Spirit puts a prayer in our hearts, He is preparing us to receive the answer He made available before we knew what to pray.

The Author is the Finisher. That He said it, means He has completed it.
Our future is in God's memory as our past is in ours.

Man remembers the past, God remembers the future; 
His promise and prophecies are not intentions, they are descriptions.


10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Matthew 24:35

6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Philippians 1:6


ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father, thank you for this tenth month; 
I bless you because it shall be a month of restoration and multiplication.
(Joel 2:25-27, Jeremiah 30:19)

Father, thank you for the last quarter of the year 2018. 
I appreciate you because this end of the year shall be glorious and peaceful.
(Haggai 2:9)

Father, thank you for you crowning this year with a bountiful harvest such that even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.
(Psalm 65:11)


DECLARATIONS
In this season, I decree and declare that my nation is blessed. I call forth changes in all sectors that bring about great increase in value of this nation. We are endowed with the wisdom to consistently take positive and progressive steps that bring about restoration. The pillars of good in this nation will never fall. We continue to stand united as one nation undivided by prevailing winds. We rise above every challenge with flying colours. We stand tall, strong and united; God at the center.

NEW DIMENSIONS, NEW NIGERIA | OCTOBER 2014
Excerpt: Though they look the same, the ‘zero’ in ‘01’ and ‘10’ are different in value by virtue of their position. 
The former moves through various levels of increment to achieve the new dimension of the latter. 
From this 10th month on, may our TRANSPOSITION from this present level to 
NEW DIMENSIONS, amaze many in the comity of nations! 
GOD BLESS NIGERIA


A Step In The Right Direction | October 2015
Excerpt: Motion is not progress if it’s in the wrong direction…
God is already in the future and He isn’t absent from the past;
Our history doesn’t overwrite His story...
As individuals and as a nation, may the wisdom to consistently take POSITIVE and PROGRESSIVE steps be ours this month and always.
God bless Nigeria!


Free Indeed | October 2016
Excerpt: It is tougher to break free from mental chains especially when they are not known to exist.
Not every prisoner is behind bars.
Until it comes to pass, a prophecy sometimes sounds like a lie to the one receiving it.
Physical evidences sometimes contradict the spoken word.
If everything He did could be explained away, God wouldn’t be deserving of our worship.
May the LIBERATING POWER of God’s Word in this season, bring about RESTORATION for us as a nation and as individuals.
God Bless Nigeria.


GOD AT THE CENTER | OCTOBER 2017
Excerpt: As there are no horizontal lines on the Nigeria National Flag;
May this nation continue to stand tall and stand strong.
In the face of the wind, Nigeria's hoisted flag remains usable for as long as the sewn parts hold together.
May we continue to stand united as one nation undivided by prevailing winds.
The white in between the green also seems to say;
"God at the center"
May this nation continue to STAND TALL, STRONG and UNITED; 
GOD AT THE CENTER

God Bless You.

WE REMEMBER... HE REMEMBERS... | 21ST SEPTEMBER



11 But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. 
12 They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
Psalm 77:12 (NLT)

Most of the following events happened several years ago…


I was cleaning my room one day and had climbed up to rid the ceiling of cobwebs. I got close to the middle of the room and started hearing a thump on the ceiling. I began to look for the source of the sound only to discover the ceiling fan was hitting against my forearm as my left hand was supporting my weight while I cleaned with my right. How my forearm wasn’t gashed remains a mystery to me...


On three occasions, I would have lost my eyesight:
I was adjusting the cymbal for a drummer and he struck the cymbal. The cymbal hit me in the face between my eyes and I bled. I still bear the mark…
On another occasion, I was walking to my hostel in secondary school and a tree branch hanging low, cut me just below my left eye. I shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if I was any shorter than I was then…
Lastly, I was trying to start a generator and the lever came loose while in motion, hitting me on the left side of my head close to the eye socket. The impact was so intense that I had a headache almost immediately…


I was clearing a bed and as I picked up a piece of cloth, I began to hear a clink on the floor. It sounded twice but I didn’t know what it was. I moved the piece of cloth away and looked down to see a light bulb about returning head first to hit the ground THE THIRD TIME. I’m not sure which one was more shocking to me; how I caught it before it hit the ground a third time or how it didn’t break the first two times when it had hit a concrete floor…



We were in school and while reading outside, another student was playing on the desk. He missed his step and fell towards me. I had a ballpoint pen in my mouth and the impact drove it into my jaw. I removed the pen but tried to remove the cover to no avail. It locked my jaw and I could not close my mouth. Blood and saliva kept gushing out and it took the use of something like pliers to remove the cover. As it was being pulled out, I was hearing a sound like many tiny wires snapping…


On two occasions, I impaled my foot. The healing happened so quickly that days after, I struggled to remember which foot it was...





I was headed home from college and while in the bus, I fell asleep; I was seated behind the driver. All of a sudden, I woke up to see the driver’s seat coming towards me; we were in an accident. Out of reflex, I curled up to brace for impact and amidst the loud clanging and banging, I heard my voice saying within me “I just know I am covered by the blood of Jesus”. After I heard these words in my spirit, I was unperturbed and only waited for the car to come to a stop so I could come out of it. I came out through what I thought was the door until I walked away and saw that it was where the windshield used to be. I had the blood of others on my body but not mine. On arriving the hospital, the doctor asked me some questions and discharged me almost immediately…

I am grateful for several other victories especially those in which I didn't need to fight.

Man remembers the past, God remembers the future.

My future is in God's memory as my past is in mine. So, I rejoice at every of His promise and prophecy because they are not intentions, they are descriptions.



As I thank God on this my birthday, I also thank people like you that I am honored to know. 

I appreciate all the prayers, calls, messages and well wishes. God bless you profusely.

May those who thought they knew you, begin to marvel at the new you by virtue of what God will do in and through you.

I'm grateful.
