Proverbs 21:18 (KJV)

The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

The devil puts God’s children in a corner, trying to convince them they’ve reached their demise. God in His infinite wisdom always makes a way of escape. Jesus was taken to the edge of the mountain cliff to be thrown to his doom, but walked right through the crowd and gave them the slip (Luke 4:29-30).

It doesn't matter who is planning your downfall; what matters most is who is on your side. Haman sought to destroy the Jews, yet he was hanged upon his very own gallows. The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous! Whether it's an accident, demotion, death, divorce, misfortune or prison targeting any area of your life in this season, God is turning it around for your good. This is the Year of Strange Oil; you will go your way without the enemy noticing.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for divine escape and protection. Turn every plan of the enemy against itself, and cause me to walk through every trap untouched, preserved by the Greater One in me.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am as slippery as Jesus was when He walked the Earth. No evil can prevail over my life because the Greater One lives in me. Amen.

Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

The first thing the white settlers did when they colonised Africa was to change the language and culture of the colonised people to that of the dominating power. God functions in the same manner. When the Holy Ghost came, Jesus’ followers were all filled with the Spirit and began to speak in other tongues. The desire of both God and the devil is to establish and exert control over a person.

The day one receives salvation is the day they are removed from the kingdom of darkness and brought out of sin, sickness, depression, and poverty into God’s kingdom of light.

We are empowered to function like God on Earth; as He is, so are we in this World. We reign and rule together with Christ.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, thank You that I have been delivered from darkness and translated into Your Kingdom. Let Heaven’s culture and power govern my life, and cause me to reign with Christ in every area.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The devil and his cohorts have no authority over my life. I am anchored by the systems of God; therefore, I cannot be sick or fail in this life.

1 John 4:4 (KJV)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

When I hold a ring and say it is of gold, it means the ring is made from gold; in other words, it’s a product of gold. So, when the Bible says you are of God, it means you are made of God-material. You are made of spiritual matter. God-kind material does not lose value or deteriorate because of adversity; it moves from glory to glory.

Take it to heart today that you are not an ordinary being walking on the face of the Earth, but a God-kind being. Curses and negative voices cannot stick to this material. You are made of divine substance. Go out and conquer in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, thank You that I am of God and made of divine substance. Help me to live boldly, knowing that nothing of darkness can cling to or overcome the God-kind life within me.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am made of God-material. I shall not expire but continue to refire until I possess my answer. Greater glory is coming on me in Jesus’ mighty name.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

The Old Testament speaks of hearing God’s voice from behind you, as though you could miss it and let Him pass without hearing Him. But the New Testament reality is completely different. Paul declares, it’s not I who lives, but Christ. This means your life has been taken over; it is no longer yours, but His.

Your natural life may have limitations and shortcomings, but Christ’s life in you has no barriers. As you walk today, it is Christ walking in you. Anyone who rises to resist your answer is fighting Christ Himself—and no one can fight God and win. Start your day with this understanding, and you will surely come back with a testimony.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You that Christ lives in me. Help me to walk daily in the consciousness that my life is no longer my own, and let Christ’s victory, power, and success be fully expressed through me.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The life I live is a life of victory, abundance and success. Everywhere I step, I’ll surely take over, in the Name of Jesus.
