1 Corinthians 15:4 (AMP)

And that He was buried, and that He was [bodily] raised on the third day according to [that which] the Scriptures [foretold].

Despite all the arguments and debates concerning His divine nature, Jesus needed only three days to prove to His critics and naysayers that He was God incarnate; three days were all He needed to show the difference between His divinity and humanity, and He did it in grand style!

All the miracles performed by Jesus were not enough to satisfy the sceptics of His day until He was crucified, died, buried, and rose again, all within three days; then they believed that He was truly the Messiah.

Jesus set the bar very high. The standard to vet who He truly was something that had never been done before. Someone can die, and another person raises them from the dead, but no one has ever risen from the dead by themselves!

Many Christians don't aim too high and miss; they aim too low and hit! Learn to aim very high in life. Aim high for your family, ministry, children, finances, and projects. God is more than enough. He is a God of surplus and overflow. Trust him, and He will bring it to pass!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am aiming high to take hold of the prize of my high calling. In this one, I shall win! Amen.

Hosea 6:2

Philippians 4:6 (AMP)

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

You need certain tools in the process of your formation through prayer. Remember, prayer is not for your information but for your formation. You need to understand that prayer goes with planning. Frustration comes in prayer due to a lack of planning.

As much as you can be led by the Spirit, you need to plan for your prayer. Ask yourself what is the objective of the prayer. Prepare your prayer points before you pray so that when the answers come, you'll recognize that your prayers have been answered.

Sometimes, you need to fast while engaging the force of prayer. Ministry has different assignments, and you need the energy of prayer and fasting to cover your assignment.

Prayer and faith go hand in hand, so while you pray for that car, that mansion, that contract, or that marriage, ensure that you use the God-kind of faith that will secure what you are praying for. Prayer brings a rich encounter with the Holy Ghost, so be expectant that God will speak to you in your prayer time.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

When I pray, Heaven answers. I stand at the crossroads of divinity and humanity and exercise power and dominion through prayer in the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.

Ephesians 1:13 (KJV)

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.

When Prophet Samuel anointed David as king of Israel, the Spirit of God came upon David (1 Samuel 16:1-13). In the New Testament, the Spirit of God is described as the Spirit with which we are sealed till the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). So, David was anointed King, and the Spirit that also serves as a seal was released upon him. He did not just receive the oil for the throne; he also received the seal that made him untouchable.

Do not fear. Do not lose sleep because of the enemy’s tricks. Do not panic over devilish schemes. Your business is sealed, your career is sealed, your children are sealed, your finances are sealed, your ministry is sealed, your family is sealed, and your life is sealed! For whom the son of man sets free is free indeed!

God knows you; your name is tattooed in the palms of His hands, and you are on His radar. Nothing will hurt or destroy you. So, put the devil on the run and have a lot of fun, for you are sealed! Praise the Lord!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The life that I now live is in Christ, sealed with the Holy Ghost; I am untouchable; I am not subject to death! Amen.
