Month: December 2025 (Page 1 of 3)

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit, a sober and vital reminder was given concerning the importance of remembering where the Lord began His work in us and the foundational reality of His presence in our lives. That foundation is our living relationship with the Holy Spirit which is the bedrock of our existence in Christ. Growth in the Kingdom, visible fruit, and manifestations of the miraculous do not define our greatness. Our greatness is preserved through our continued pursuit of communion with the Holy Spirit and our faithful obedience to where He is leading. John.5:30.

There is a clear warning against drifting into the praise of men, which is a subtle yet dangerous snare. The Holy Spirit calls for intentional self-examination to ensure we are walking in step with Him and remaining centered in God’s will, not diverted onto side roads shaped by human approval. John.5:41-44. Abundant grace is released through this word to realign your hearts and propel you forward into all the Father intends for your life in the coming year.

The Holy Spirit emphasized how important trusting what He the Holy Spirit says over the opinions and conclusions of human experts will change our limited earthly perspectives. There is sufficient life flowing from the directives of the Holy Spirit to strengthen, equip, and activate followers to return to flowing with Kingdom momentum and start bearing the fruit Jesus expects of His disciples. Jesus made this expectation unmistakably clear in John 15:8 saying that:“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.” Our bearing fruit is not optional because it is the evidence of true discipleship and the means by which the Father is glorified in our lives.

Just hearing the word alone is insufficient because following Jesus carries the responsibility of producing fruit worthy of Him. The Kingdom of God is practical and measurable, not an abstract monument. When Jesus called His disciples, He promised them a transformation of life with purpose saying “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Every command from Jesus carries a reward because His words always reshape our nature and character so our spirits are connected to Him rather than governed by our limited human nature or the influence of the enemy, and the outcome is much fruit that advances the Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit has the role of setting believers apart for service to Jesus through sanctification which is a process of separation from the natural earthly nature and then being set apart with the nature of Jesus. This separation begins with breaking us free from what holds us captive, including family patterns, inherited mindsets, and natural ways of thinking that resist obedience to the Lord. The ways of the Lord are entirely different from human ways as declared in Isaiah.55:8 & 9 so embracing His ways is essential to becoming a fruitful disciple.

After my salvation experience in 1989, there was a deep hunger within me for the Word of God and a deep passion and longing to understand the Kingdom to experience the Lord as the word states and have all the promises to enable me to know what was required of me to walk in that place.Through this process people sought to assign titles and labels on me to embrace but, the Holy Spirit continually redirected my focus, declaring that being a faithful follower of Jesus was sufficient to be like Him and walk as He walked. Titles given by men I came to realize only restricts spiritual growth and fosters people-pleasing, while following Jesus keeps a believer fully dependent and reliant on constant union with the Holy Spirit.

Following Jesus I came to understand through communion with the Holy Spirit is a lifelong process with no graduation into self-leadership.  So the moment one cuts off the voice of the Holy Spirit and begins to lead oneself is a dangerous regression. This reality was anchored in 1 Peter 1:2, which speaks of being “elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus.” Making it clear that election without ongoing sanctification produces words without any fruit. Whereas continuous sanctification of being separated unto holiness is absolutely essential to remaining qualified and fruitful.

This sanctifying process often requires painful separations from natural attachments, yet it introduces a radically new way of living that produces lasting freedom and enduring fruit. In following the Lord, everything necessary for life and godliness is supplied, not just merely gifts for isolated moments in life, but the abiding friendship of the Holy Spirit, who has access to all that belongs to the Lord and can manifest them at any time as needed.

Followers of Jesus are described as trees of righteousness in Isaiah.61:3, people planted by the Lord to bear fruits of righteousness and not as vessels of the earth defined by isolated gifts that can drift into lawlessness. The Holy Spirit’s singular mission is to glorify Jesus by producing fruit worthy of His name through surrendered lives.

As I conclude this time with you a final and urgent warning is issued by the Holy Spirit for us to never accept labels from people, regardless of what the Lord does through our lives. This is because labels become our limitations and points of regression regardless of  whether we are called a faith healer, prophet, deliverance minister, or miracle worker, the instruction remains the same. Follow the Holy Spirit alone and allow Him to supply whatever is needed for each situation you encounter in life. Growth, fruitfulness, and power are sustained only through obedience and continued dependence on Him.

May the grace flowing from these words empower you to separate from what has kept you bound in tradition, to embrace fully the freedom in the Holy Spirit, and step fully into a fruitful life the Lord has prepared beforehand for you to walk in. Remember that following the Holy Spirit’s voice always leads to freedom, elevation, and lasting fruit for the glory of Jesus’s name. This is the responsibility of the Holy Spirit and He never fails to accomplish His work to glorify Jesus.

I declare in the name of Jesus that your foundation in the Holy Spirit is strengthened and restored to empower you not to drift into the praise of men, so that no human labels will define or limit your calling. I declare that you walk in step with the Holy Spirit, fully centered in the will of God and aligned with His purposes. 

I declare that every attachment that has held you captive is broken, and you are separated unto holiness, obedience, and fruitfulness in the Kingdom of Jesus. I declare that you are a tree of righteousness, planted by the Lord, who bears much fruit that glorifies the Father in Jesus name.

I declare that you will experience the Holy Spirit supplying everything you need for your life and godliness, and His faithfulness will ensure your continual increase. I command you to rise up today, by first separating from what drains your life, and walk freely into the fullness of the Lord that elevates you. You will be fruitful for Jesus, and His glory will be revealed through you, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

In a time of communion with the Holy Spirit, a timely word was given to me to prepare for a new story of triumph. The Holy Spirit spoke of the Lord leading His people into a new season, which calls for intentional discernment regarding what must be laid aside from the past and what must be embraced, meditated upon, and fully put on.

He reminded me that progress in the Lord requires steadfast focus and wholehearted pursuit, and these words He is releasing are to saturate our inner life with the propensity to propel us forward in faith for the greater dimension of glory before us. Isaiah.42:9.

The Holy Spirit spoke of the urgent need to lay aside every weight, undue pressure, anxiety, and agonizing distractions that seek to pull the heart away from the path of obedience. There are situations and demands that have arisen suddenly, presenting themselves as urgent priorities with the threat of loss if they are not succumbed to.

Yet the Holy Spirit declares clearly that complete obedience to the will of the Lord will never lead to downfall. So the call is to stand firm, refuse to back down, and resist the pressure and temptation that attempt to force compromise and sinful alternatives, which would ultimately cause the loss of God’s promises for our lives.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that you are not the only one facing these trials alone but it is a corporate assault on all followers of Jesus to miss the season of manifestation of the glory of the Lord in an unprecedented fashion. He pointed out that Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith, is present to strengthen, encourage, and sustain us through into triumph and rich fulfilment .

Jesus has already endured every temptation and challenge on behalf of His people and abundantly supplies the grace needed to resist sin, overcome discouragement, and remain faithful to the promise. What threatens to ensnare and impede forward movement can be defeated by looking to Him and simply refusing to quit.

Our agreement with the Holy Spirit is essential for our triumph. By resisting the onslaught of persistent attacks and laying hold again of the faith Jesus authored, you will see your circumstances turn according to your earnest expectation and hope, finding no cause for shame.

The greater glory lies on the other side of endurance. Faithfulness in the present trial is the pathway to victory, provided one does not faint or give in under pressure.

Be aware that even though obstacles may appear overwhelming and immovable, they are only temporary and subject to change. When the Lord has spoken, no hindrance can stop our forward progress.

The moment we remain steadfast and unbending by circumstances it becomes a lasting anchor of your faith, and a repeatedly strengthening trust in God during seemingly impossible situations in the future.

As you receive this word and embrace the grace flowing from the Holy Spirit you are released into walking in divine perseverance so that no matter how severe the challenge is or how final it appears, you will resist fear and sin, then boldly press forward in obedience, and trust the Lord to make a way where there is no way in Jesus name.

Each victory you achieve becomes a building block, creating an enduring testimony of God’s faithfulness and deliverance thus, forming a storehouse of confidence for future battles and a new story of triumph.

I declare that in the name of Jesus every weight, pressure, and distraction sent to hinder your obedience is laid aside because you will not go down doing the will of the Lord. You are strengthened today by the Author and Finisher of your faith, and the grace to endure and overcome is now active in you.

I declare that every sudden obstacle is removed, every fear is silenced, and every temptation to compromise loses its power over you and you press forward without shame, without retreat, and without any loss knowing that on the other side of this trial, a greater weight of glory awaits you.

I declare that this victory becomes a testimony, an anchor of faith, and a weapon of remembrance for your future battles. I declare that a new story of triumph is written over your life, and the Lord will make a way through for you where none seems possible in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

During my communion time with the Holy Spirit, a sober and loving warning was revealed to me concerning the danger of walking in hypocrisy. The Holy Spirit highlighted the importance of discerning and dealing with it if we as followers of Jesus are to walk in consistent victory.

We are not to see hypocrisy just as a minor flaw because it is a deliberate weapon the enemy uses to cause followers of Jesus to stumble from the path of truth, granting satan access to defeat us even when we are positioned for victory. As we approach a new year, the Holy Spirit calls us to allow truth, wisdom, and understanding to govern our discernment so we do not fall prey to deception either from others or from ourselves.

Jesus Himself emphasized this issue with urgency in Luke 12:1–2, where He warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which was hypocrisy, thus identifying hypocrisy as something that may appear hidden in Christian ethics but will inevitably be exposed as a lie.

This warning from Jesus applies both outwardly in discerning hypocrisy in people and also inwardly by us judging and uprooting hypocrisy from within our own hearts which the Pharisees never did because from their perspective everything they did was right.

Proverbs 26:24–26 reveals the nature of hypocrisy pointing out clearly that it hides itself behind kind words, praise, and flattering speech while concealing hatred, evil intent, and deception.

Hypocrisy thrives in a masquerade of outward show, but it cannot remain hidden forever because eventually, the true heart is exposed. This is why Jesus made mastery over discernment of hypocrisy essential for His disciples revealing that failure to see it would affect relationships, decisions, and spiritual progress.

The Holy Spirit highlighted that hypocrisy often wears the garment of sensual wisdom, false compassion and moral concern. Gracious speech and persuasive reasoning can mask deeply selfish or evil motives. A biblical example is found in John 12:4–6, where Judas Iscariot criticized Mary’s extravagant act of worship, by falsely presenting himself as a defender of the poor.

Though his words sounded noble, Scripture exposed his true motive which defined him as a thief who desired access to the money which could have been derived from the sale of the perfume. Jesus discerned the truth, then honored Mary’s act of love, and rejected Judas’ false righteousness.

Later, in John 13, Judas’ true nature was fully revealed when he betrayed Jesus for money, using a kiss which is a symbol of affection as a final act of hypocrisy. This word confirms a vital truth that the heart of the hypocrite cannot remain hidden.

Hypocrisy may deceive for a time, but it always exposes itself. What appears wise and virtuous in the natural may, in fact, be sensual and demonic in nature, seeking approval for a lie rather than alignment with the truth.

The Holy Spirit stressed the important call for us as followers of Jesus to actively judge hypocrisy not only by natural appearances, but by spiritual discernment. This includes the weighing of motives, not just words spoken, and then obeying the Spirit’s guidance even when it contradicts human reasoning.

I will add a personal testimony that reinforces this truth which happened while I was ministering in Botswana, when the apparent concern and “good intentions” from the individual I was helping all day to rest and not minister to a person in need who had been waiting to see me.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me to minister to that person because she would be a great support to me and my ministry. So even though the lady complained about people not respecting my rest times and appeared supportive of me, her actions bore no lasting fruit.

However the other lady, whom the Holy Spirit directed my attention towards, received a life-saving ministry in her life that night and became a genuine blessing to me personally and my ministry over time.

This example the Holy Spirit reminded me is another real life demonstration that outward intentions do not reveal the true character of people’s motives but only our obedience to the Holy Spirit is what leads to life and lasting fruit.

Today I challenge you to allow this truth to reshape your perception, by allowing the grace flowing towards you to free your heart from the deception rooted in hypocrisy and establish in your heart a new life rooted in truth rather than appearances.

As you walk with this fresh discernment may your life be protected from losing rewards, repeating costly mis-judgments, and falling victim to future traps designed through hypocrisy. Remember that just as Jesus walked free from deception and fulfilled His purpose, so must we His followers also walk to glorify His glorious name.

In communion time with the Holy Spirit, my attention was drawn to the reality of walking in the anointing that heals the broken hearted, and to the urgent need to correctly understand what the Lord means by healing a broken heart. The Holy Spirit revealed that our human definitions of a broken heart are far inferior to the Lord’s definition so are unable to bring healing to a broken heart.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that relief from emotional pain, including an improvement of circumstances, or even a physical healing does not equate to having a healed heart. Physical restoration only addresses the body whereas heart healing addresses the inner core of our being from which life flows, as revealed in Isaiah 61:1.

The Holy Spirit went on to clarify for me that a person may experience a miraculous physical healing while still carrying a deeply broken heart. This truth is illustrated in Matthew 9:22, through the woman with the issue of blood. She was instantly healed the moment she touched Jesus’ garment, yet Jesus intentionally called her forward.

Though her physical condition was already healed, Jesus spoke words of comfort to her saying “Daughter, be of good comfort” and only then does Scripture state that she was made whole. Her heart, which had been shattered by years of shame, isolation, and loss, was healed when Jesus addressed her inward condition.

This word from Jesus reveals that wholeness is achieved when the heart is healed, not just merely when physical pain stops. The Holy Spirit emphasized that without a healed heart, believers cannot fulfil God’s will, because God works through the heart of men to accomplish His purposes on earth.

This explains why obedience to Proverbs 4:23 is essential: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” What flows out of life is determined by the condition of the heart. If the heart remains wounded, deceived, or fractured, it will distort responses, decisions, and spiritual alignment. A healed heart is required for full engagement with God and the manifestation of His fullness.

The urgency of inner heart healing is further revealed in Jeremiah 17:9–10, which exposes the true state of the heart as deceitful and desperately wicked, incapable of accurately diagnosing itself. This is why the heart gravitates so easily toward deception, because it often mistakes temporary pleasure, fulfilled desire, or emotional relief for healing. Yet these substitutes do not heal its brokenness but only mask the pain. True inner heart healing can only be diagnosed and accomplished by the Lord, who alone searches the heart and tests the mind.

Therefore, believers must rely completely on the Holy Spirit to reveal the true condition of the heart, rather than trusting feelings, circumstances, or self-assessment. Only the Holy Spirit can apply the Lord’s process of revelation, healing, and comfort as the authentic measure of a restored heart. This dependence is vital, as demonstrated by the warnings Jesus gave Peter in John 13:36–38, where human confidence masked an unprepared heart.

The Lord further outlines His divine process of heart healing in Isaiah 61:2–3. Healing begins with the proclamation of the acceptable year of the Lord, the Jubilee where debts, losses, and unresolved issues are released. Following this, the Lord exercises His divine vengeance, which belongs to Him alone, as affirmed by Jesus in Luke 18, where believers are instructed to seek the Lord fervently for justice. This divine intervention from the Lord is what precedes deep comfort.

Comfort and consolation then come to those who mourn that is those whose hearts were shattered by loss. These are described as those in Zion, meaning those who trust in the Lord and are immovable like Mount Zion (Psalm 125:1). The healed heart becomes steadfast, no longer unstable or reactive but faithful and true.

The full transformation is completed when the Lord turns the ashes of life into beauty, and pours out the oil of joy instead of mourning, and clothes the healed heart with a garment of praise instead of heaviness. The end result is a new heart replanted as a tree of righteousness, fully established by the Lord and glorifying Him through its restored life.

The Holy Spirit is inviting you into the wilderness which is the place of preparation and honest examination, where the heart is exposed and can be healed and restored so the Lord’s way may be prepared, as declared in Isaiah 40:3–5. This process frees the recipient from past trauma, pain, and wounds that have silently governed their decisions and hindered forward progress into God’s promises for their lives.

Finally, always remember that the Holy Spirit’s desire is clear that our hearts must be fully healed, free from the sting of past wounds, so we can serve the Lord without fear, restraint, or distortion all the days of our life. A healed heart is what is required to allow the Lord to fully express His nature and character through His people on earth.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that today you will open your heart fully to the healing anointing of the Holy Spirit so that every place of brokenness, trauma, grief, disappointment, and hidden pain is exposed to the light of God and healed by the hand of the Lord.

I declare that you receive the comfort and consolation of the Holy Spirit as the ashes from your life are turned into beauty flowing in your heart. I declare that mourning is replaced with the oil of joy and the spirit of heaviness is removed, and you are clothed with a garment of praise.

In the name of Jesus I declare that your heart is healed, made steadfast, and immovable and you are replanted as a tree of righteousness, by the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified through your life. No past wounds from this time forward will govern your decisions ever again and no hidden pain will hinder your obedience as you will walk forward whole, free, and restored and fully available for God’s purpose to manifest in your life.

So go forward in the grace flowing from this word and serve the Lord with a healed heart, a clear conscience, with renewed joy, and you will fulfil the Lord’s will on earth without fear in holiness and righteousness all the days of your life in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He drew my attention to the occasions when Jesus Himself rejoiced in the Spirit, and He spoke of the necessity for us His followers to realign our understanding of what is truly worthy for us to rejoice in.

The Holy Spirit made it clear that rejoicing must be governed by Heaven’s values, not by the temporary outcomes or visible demonstrations of power but our continuous communion with the Lord.

This truth is revealed in Luke 10:21–22, where Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and thanked the Father for hiding divine realities from the wise and prudent and revealing them to babes. Jesus’ joy flowed not from His outward success, but from eternal realities specifically His relationship with the Father, the Father’s sovereign will, and the divine revelation granted to those who walk in humility.

Jesus rejoiced from the place of unchangeable authority rooted in relationship, knowing that all things had been delivered to Him by the Father.

This moment of rejoicing followed the return of the seventy disciples, described in Luke 10:17–20, who came back rejoicing that demons were subject to them in Jesus’ name. While Jesus affirmed their authority by declaring that He had seen satan fall like lightning from a position of authority as He granted them power to trample on all the power of the enemy, He redirected their purpose for expressing joy.

He warned them not to rejoice in spiritual power or outward victory which they did not fully understand, but rather to rejoice that their names were written in heaven.

In this discussion the Holy Spirit exposes a crucial distinction which we must adopt where the disciples rejoiced in temporary manifestations, while Jesus rejoiced in the eternal position of authority.

Jesus made it clear that power exercised without understanding the spiritual realm can lead to misplaced confidence. Jesus revealed the understanding that a spiritual dethroning had taken place whereas the disciples only observed the result of obedience to His Name without perceiving the deeper spiritual transaction which had occurred.

The Holy Spirit revealed that delegated authority is not personally owned, where we have arbitrary rights to use it as we please but it has to be granted, given and governed by the Holy Spirit. Authority operates only within the boundaries of obedience and an abiding relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus ruled from the place of perfect knowledge of how satan fell unlike the disciples who operated under the name of Jesus without a full awareness and understanding of the spiritual mechanics involved in manifesting the deliverance on earth in the lives of the people the disciples ministered to.

Jesus’ warning was a protective statement for us because spirits that submit to you under the authority of Jesus’s name can later return if the bearer of that authority does not understand their spiritual position. This reality is starkly revealed in Acts 19:15, where the evil spirit declared, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” This demonstrates that the spirit realm recognizes heavenly registration, not volume, activity, or outward display. Authority is validated by continuous abiding in Christ, not by outward declarations alone.

Jesus emphasized clearly in this discourse that the true ground of lasting triumph is not in what believers or His followers can do, but in who they are in Him. So rejoicing in one’s heavenly position secures our ongoing victory and triumph over satan’s kingdom. However temporary power encounters without relational depth can expose believers to unfortunate defeat.

Jesus rejoiced because His confidence rested fully in the eternal, unshakable relationship He had with the Father from a position which He could never be removed from. He rejoiced in a position of humility, dependence, and absolute trust in God, not in His accomplishments. Philippians.2:5-8. This posture, the Holy Spirit emphasized, must become the foundation of our confidence and joy.

The Apostle Paul exemplifies this truth in Galatians 1:15–17, where he explains that his authority flowed not merely from encountering Jesus, but from Jesus being revealed in him. Paul withdrew into Arabia following his conversion, thus allowing his relationship with Christ to be formed within him, and it was from this inner revelation that his enduring authority and fruitfulness emerged. Authority was birthed through his transformation of heart, not just his first exposure to Christ on the road to Damascus.

May the Holy Spirit convict your heart through these truths to make the necessary adjustments, and receive the grace flowing through this word to return to this place of rest, humility, and an abiding dependence on the Holy Spirit. From this position, may you be propelled into the fulfilment of Jesus’ plan for your lives by bearing much fruit that is much fruit that remains for the eternal expansion of Jesus’s Kingdom on earth.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that you will rejoice no longer in temporary victories, visible power, or outward success, but in eternal realities of the Lord. From today your joy is anchored in this truth because your name is written in heaven and your life is hidden in Christ with God.

I declare that as you abide in Jesus, and Jesus abides in you you will walk in the authority that is recognized in the heavens and respected in the spirit realm. I declare that you will refuse all confidence in your performance, and you will embrace humility, dependence, and obedience to the Holy Spirit.

You will henceforth rejoice in your relationship with the Father, through revelation from Jesus, and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You will no longer be moved by fleeting manifestations, but you will stand secure in your eternal position in Christ so that as Jesus is revealed in you, from that place you will bear much fruit, fruit that remains for the glory of God and the expansion of His Kingdom on earth in Jesus Name. I declare that you rest in the triumph, and enduring authority of Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

A special blessing to you for a joyful Christmas season and for a prosperous, productive, and supernatural year in 2026.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit, a timely and weighty instruction was given to me to urge you to redeem the remaining days of the year by intentionally seeking the Lord concerning your lives, especially regarding unfortunate recurring patterns of failure, delay, and obstruction that have hindered the fulfilment of God’s promises in your life.

The Holy Spirit is calling for a focused time of prayer and consecration so that every blockage in the pathway of your destiny and every unseen resistance that has robbed you of fruitfulness and caused delayed manifestation will be identified, confronted, and removed from your life. Take this time as a sacred moment of preparation with total confidence and assurance in the Lord’s faithfulness to come forth triumphantly for you.

The scriptural pattern for this season is found in the life of Jesus in Luke 4:1 & 2 which reveals clearly that after Jesus received public affirmation through the Holy Spirit and John the Baptist, He did not immediately launch into ministry. Instead, being full of the Holy Spirit, He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for a period of consecration and testing.

In that place every shortcut, compromise, and alternative was offered to Him by satan which Jesus confronted with the word of the Lord and He rejected. This season was not a source of punishment, but a time of preparation, a deliberate separation from worldly influence so that Jesus could walk fully empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit emphasizes that this same principle applies to you today that after moments of recognition, calling, or confirmation, there must be seasons of deeper yielding to God, where worldly options are laid aside in favor of an extended time of intimacy with the Holy Spirit, thus allowing Him to empower and enable you to have a triumphant walk.

The desired outcome of this process is clearly shown in Luke 4:14 & 15, where Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit, and His influence, authority, and glory spread throughout the region. This is the place the Holy Spirit is calling you to walk into as this year concludes with not merely physical activity, but a life clothed with divine power and anointing flowing through your lives.

The Holy Spirit underscored this reality by saying that preparing the way for the Lord within one’s life is far more important than rushing into human action without power. Remember that manifestation must always follow a time of consecration. The extension of Jesus’s Kingdom requires vessels that are not only called and commissioned, but also fully empowered by the Holy Spirit.

This truth was reinforced by Jesus’ instruction to His disciples in Luke 24:49, where they were commanded to tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. Though He appointed and commissioned them, they were not yet equipped to fulfil their assignment so waiting for the Holy Spirit’s investiture of power was essential to effective ministry and a lasting impact.

As you lay hold of this word and surrender to the Holy Spirit in the last days of 2025 may every grace be upon you to yield to the Holy Spirit till His anointing overshadows you to where the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover your life as the waters cover the sea.

The Holy Spirit desires for you to live and move freely as a son of God, as a visible representation of Jesus who draws others to serve Him as Lord and King, and thus expands the Kingdom of Jesus on the earth.

The Holy Spirit desires for you to walk in your true identity in Christ as a trophy of Grace, an emblem of Praise, a banner of signs and wonders, as living proofs of God’s triumph, and living messages to His enemies.

A final exhortation to you is to give these remaining days of the year wholly to seeking the Holy Spirit for the Lord’s way forward for you, so that the coming year will unfold according to Heaven’s design with you walking in your identity in Christ.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that you will redeem the remaining days of this year with holy intention. You will seek the Lord with your whole heart, and every pattern of failure, delay, and obstruction in your life will be exposed, broken, and removed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I declare that just as Jesus was led by the Spirit into preparation and returned in the power of the Holy Spirit, so you will yield fully to the Holy Spirit in this season. You will reject every shortcut, compromise, and counterfeit path satan offers you, and you will choose consecration that leads to true spiritual authority.

I declare that you will wait upon the Lord until you are endued with power from on high. You will not move without His anointing, and you will not labor without His presence. You will be clothed with the power of the Holy Spirit to fulfill God’s purpose for your life.

You will enter the new season in the power of the Spirit as a trophy of grace, an emblem of praise, a sign and a wonder, and a living testimony of God’s triumph. You will step boldly into a prosperous, productive, and supernatural 2026, fully empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

During my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke of His followers not being consumed in worldly revelries of the festive season as we approach Christmas day. The Holy Spirit reminded me that it is a time of reflection and celebration of the coming of Jesus into the world to restore peace and goodwill with men. Once we have that true perspective we will not give the enemy room to use a Christian celebration as an instrument to rob us of the full benefits Jesus came to give us.

The Lord has not called us to presume that truth works automatically regardless of our conduct in events because the Lord always judges the intent and purpose of our hearts in all events in life. The truth must be worked out and not just assumed it will just work out for us. We as followers of Jesus are called to be sober and vigilant, because the enemy actively looks for moments when we are relaxed, distracted, or in presumption in order to strike us and rob us of our inheritance in Christ.

The Holy Spirit recalled a foundational truth He had revealed to me years ago which transformed my walk of faith and unlocked tangible manifestations of God’s goodness in my life. This truth became a central governing principle for how I positioned myself daily to experience the fulfillment of God’s promises on earth because the Lord desires His people to enjoy everything His Word promises. He never withholds any good thing from those who fear and revere Him.

This truth leaves us in the position where the question is not whether what the Lord has promised will happen , but an understanding of why believers often fall short of receiving what is promised them by the Lord and knowing how to remedy that failure by positioning oneself correctly for a daily manifestation of the promise of the Lord. This answer is found in 1 Peter 1:13–19, which calls believers to gird up the loins of the mind and, be sober, and rest our hope fully on the grace that shall be brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ as we live in obedience and holiness.

The phrase to gird up the loins of our mind means literally preparing the reproductive faculty of thought to determine exactly what we will reproduce in action, being in full possession of sound judgment, free from anything that intoxicates or distorts discernment.

This truth aligns perfectly with Ephesians 6:14, where the Apostle Paul teaches that girding oneself with the belt of truth is foundational to putting on the whole armor of God. Without the mind girded with truth, deception will always be reproduced, regardless of the confessions or intentions of the heart. Truth is the foundation of God’s kingdom, and the Holy Spirit our Helper is the Spirit of Truth who always guides believers into all truth. This is because without truth, the armor does not function.

This understanding of girding up our minds with truth makes a critical distinction between truth and presumption because presumption is acting on one’s own estimation of truth rather than on Lord’s revealed will which is always truth. Joshua’s defeat at Ai in Joshua.7:1-12 serves as a sobering example that shows us clearly that although the Lord had given victory before, Joshua’s presumed action based on human intelligence rather than divine instruction, resulted in defeat and loss of life. Taking faith actions without the Lord’s present word of instruction becomes presumption meaning you are on your own.

By contrast, Moses throughout his service to the Lord in Exodus always demonstrated restraint while waiting for the Lord to give the go ahead instruction. Moses, even when Joshua and Caleb spoke in faith, refused to act without Lord’s command, declaring that if the Lord did not go with them, he would not move. We always find out that the Lord’s perspective and strategy differs drastically from our human reasoning.

We as followers of Jesus are therefore called to gird up our minds with truth, then be ready to act only on what the Holy Spirit reveals, and rest our hope fully on the grace that is the supernatural ability supplied by the Lord to accomplish divine assignments. Every instruction from the Lord carries grace to perform it, but that grace must be yielded to by faith because fleshly action, even with faith-filled words produces no supernatural results.

This principle is clearly laid out in Genesis 1, where we are told that creation only came into manifestation after the Holy Spirit hovered over the darkness. God spoke, but the Holy Spirit empowered the word to produce the reality of what was spoken. Likewise,we see in Luke.4 that Jesus Himself did not manifest miracles until He returned in the power of the Holy Spirit, fully girded with truth and submitted to the Father’s will.

Jesus affirmed this dependence on the Father’s instructions in John 5:30, by saying, “I can do nothing of Myself.” He again reiterated this fact  in John 8:26, when He clarified that although He could judge many things concerning the Pharisees, He only spoke what He heard from the Father. This reveals true maturity which is speaking God’s word rather than reacting from personal feeling, emotion, or opinion.

Moses’ failure at the rock to do as the Lord commanded Him illustrates the cost of ungirded emotion. His unresolved anger with the murmurings of the Israelites caused him to act outside God’s instruction, by striking the rock instead of speaking to it. Even though the people were complaining and in error  Moses’ response dishonored God, which cost him his reward of entering the promised land. This truth underscores this eternal principle that  it is more important to obey God than to address men’s complaints.

The Holy Spirit is calling you today to gird your minds with truth, by resting your hearts fully on the divine revelation of the Holy Spirit, and then follow through consistently in the grace He supplies. Stop acting and reacting on what you think, feel, or see and start operating this way girded with truth which will produce radically different outcomes of freedom, fruitfulness, and sustained victory in your life.

Presumption I learnt is a sin which carries penalties which are spoken of in Psalm 19:13, where David prays to the Lord asking Him to be kept from presumptuous sins, acknowledging that presumption can dominate and derail a life from the plan of the Lord. David learned the lesson to seek the Lord continually, and because of this heart posture, God called him “a man after My heart.”

So today arise in the grace flowing from these words  to adopt this same spiritual posture by seeking first, to hear clearly the instruction of the Lord. Then gird up the mind with the truth, by obeying exactly what the Lord says. This is the pathway to a fruitful, productive, Spirit-led life that consistently manifests the will of God in Jesus name. Amen.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that you choose purposefully to gird up the loins of your mind with the truth from the Lord. You choose for your mind to be sober and perfectly aligned with the Spirit of Truth. I declare that presumption will no longer have dominion over you and you will not act on assumption, emotion, or human reasoning any longer but will only move at the command of word of the Lord.

From today you will rest your hope fully on the grace supplied by the Holy Spirit as you receive the supernatural ability to obey precisely what God speaks, and you follow through in that grace without distraction or delay.

I declare that the enemy will have no opening in your life because you are now vigilant, watchful, and established in truth. Your actions going forward will only produce life, fruitfulness, and lasting results because the Holy Spirit leads and empowers every step you take.

Like David, you take the position of a person after God’s own heart by daily seeking, hearing, girding myself, and obeying the word of the Lord. I declare that your life bears daily evidence of God’s goodness, favor, and productivity as you walk free, victorious, and fruitful, by operating in the power of Holy Spirit and not in presumption, to the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

During my communion time with the Holy Spirit He emphasized with clarity and no uncertain terms that Jesus Christ is our Resurrection and our Life, and that our complete trust and reliance upon Him as the resurrection and the life is essential for us being raised out of every death-dealing venture, obstruction, or opposition that attempts to exalt itself above the knowledge of God.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that in the Presence of the Lord there is always a release of life. Romans.4:17 which tells us that God is the One who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they are. We therefore as followers of Jesus are called to live daily in this resurrection life reality, by trusting that the Holy Spirit will raise us out of every dead place by imparting fresh life into every circumstance that shows up in our lives.

The Holy Spirit specifically reminded me that the Jesus I follow is not merely the One who died for our sins, but the One who was raised from the dead and now lives in glory with all authority and power at His disposal. We must realize that If Jesus had only died for us, then we would remain dead with Him. However what secures our life in Him is that He rose from the dead by defeating death, and now lives eternally, reigning in all power and dominion. Thank the Lord that Jesus is no longer in a tomb but raised into the place of ultimate glory above every other name.

This truth was declared by the angels at the empty tomb of Jesus, who asked the disciples this question in Luke.24:5: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” Jesus is alive and possesses the authority to raise any human being that is dead back to life. This foundational truth must never be forgotten because it is our life because the Lord always gives life to the dead and calls nonexistent things into existence.

In Hebrews 2:15 this reality is presented to us as the anchor of our faith, which declares that Jesus destroyed the one who had the power of death that is the devil and then released humanity from our lifelong bondage caused by the fear of death. Through Jesus we know that death no longer reigns over us and as His followers we now live under the authority of resurrection life.

In John 11:25–26, Jesus makes His unparalleled declaration: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” This statement distinguishes Jesus from all others. Many may surrender their lives to be killed and then die, but only Jesus has the inherent power to raise Himself and others from death. The central question remains for us all as Jesus asked Martha: “Do you believe this?”

Jesus’ supremacy is further affirmed and proclaimed in Acts 2:24, which states that God raised Him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was impossible for death to hold Him. This truth forms the bedrock of our Christian faith because death man’s greatest enemy could not restrain Jesus, and therefore cannot ultimately restrain those who are in Him. What Adam surrendered to death, Jesus reclaimed through His resurrection.

The outworking of this truth is seen in action in Acts 4:33–35, where the apostles bore witness not merely to the cross, but to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. As they did this, great power was released and great grace rested upon all. This resurrection testimony transformed lives, liberated people from lack, reshaped their wrong relationship with material possessions, and redirected their resources toward the advancement of the Kingdom. Death was defeated, and life overflowed fully into every area of community living.

The Holy Spirit made it clear that the same Lord of the Resurrection Jesus Himself desires to raise us His followers today out of every dead situation around us whether it is spiritual, emotional, relational, financial, or physical. Just as in the early church, the living proof that Jesus is alive is still demonstrated through miracles, signs, wonders, and transformed lives.

My appeal to you today is that as a follower and lover of Jesus lay hold with all within you of the words of Jesus as the resurrection and the life and receive all the abundant grace of resurrection power imparted through these words. Then boldly rise out of every grave situation into experiencing in real terms a resurrection out of every death situation that has exalted itself above the knowledge of God.

Remember that this resurrection power is not limited to physical death of the body alone because it extends to reach out even to the driest of bones in impossible situations, by calling forth life to them and raising them up into a mighty army to serve God’s purposes on the earth, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel.37:1-14.

The final call is for you to step forward out of the grave of negativity and into a new season of life, where you are  living fully in the resurrection power of the Lord, filled with miraculous things happening that tangibly prove who Jesus is in every area of your life.

In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that Jesus is your Resurrection and your life. Therefore every death-dealing situation confronting you now is broken by the power of His resurrection. I declare that no grave, no obstacle, no threat of death can hold you down, because it is impossible for death to prevail where Jesus reigns.

I decree that the Holy Spirit raises you out of every dead place, first spiritually, emotionally, physically, and circumstantially. Whatever was dry in your situation receives life and what had been  buried rises as what was impossible to happen is restored.

I declare that the fear of death has no authority over you and the power of the enemy is destroyed concerning you as resurrection life now governs your path, your future, and your Godly inheritance.

I decree that you come forth out of the grave into a new season of life, filled with victory, purpose, triumph and much abundance. From now you will walk in resurrection power, by bearing visible proof that Jesus is alive and reigning in your life.

Now arise out of nothingness and live in the power of Jesus’ resurrection power, as you let your life testify to His glory, in Jesus’ mighty Name.   Amen.

In a defining moment in my communion time, the Holy Spirit posed a very defining question to me, saying: Do I desire to ride further with Him in His vehicle of glory, where there are all the riches of glory at my disposal or am I content to remain in a place of “just enough”? This invitation was not about abandoning my current communion time but about me stepping into the place of being completely overtaken and saturated by the overflowing oceans of God’s glory.

This question revealed the Lord’s desire to not just merely guide His people daily, but to step in and overrun their lives with His Presence, to the point where we are producing ever-increasing measures of the anointing glory that can shift nations in a single day and restore righteousness as the longing of human hearts.

Even though my daily communion time with the Holy Spirit has been ongoing, the Holy Spirit made it clear that His will is much greater saturation of His Presence abiding and not only the occasional visitation. As followers of Jesus we are called to live in a continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit that expresses the fullness of God on the earth.

The reality of this call is presented to us in Isaiah 58:13–14, where the Lord promises that those who honor His Sabbath, by turning away from self-directed pleasure, personal ways, and self-originated words will end up in the place of delighting themselves in the Lord and then be caused by God Himself to ride upon the high places of the earth and be fed with the heritage of Jacob. This truth is not just symbolic language but a real position of spiritual authority, influence, and an eternal inheritance declared by the mouth of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit went on to  emphasize that this place of riding with the Lord is entered into through sabbath rest, which Lord Himself established at creation. In Genesis 2:1–3, we are told that after the Lord finished His work, He rested on the seventh day, then blessed it, and sanctified it. The end result remarkably,  was that humanity’s relationship with God began not in the place of labor, but in the place of rest. Man was created after the work was finished and was invited to enter into a world already prepared to function for him under the Lord’s governance.

This truth is further affirmed in Hebrews 4:9–10, which declares that a Sabbath-rest remains available for the people of God, and that those who enter this rest cease from their own works as God did from His. The Holy Spirit revealed that rest is not just inactivity but a complete reliance on what God has already accomplished.

From the Holy Spirit’s perspective, the Sabbath is not just merely a day off work, but a posture of delight, a time of undivided attention, where the believer ceases from all his self-effort, self-opinion, and self-expression, and yields fully to the Lord in total surrender. Isaiah 58 clearly outlines what the Lord asks on the sabbath, which is to stop pursuing personal pleasure, to stop relying on human reasoning, and to stop speaking self-generated words that lack Spirit and life.

Jesus confirmed the authenticity of this truth in John 6:63, by declaring that all His words are Spirit and life. Therefore, as followers of the Lord we are called to stop speaking our own words and only speak what the Lord speaks because when God’s words are in our mouths, they produce life, alter circumstances, and align us with heaven’s authority.

I have come to realize that when delighting in the Lord becomes a reality in your life and not just merely language. We as followers of Jesus will begin to ride where God rides, which is on the heights of the earth. This is the realm where spiritual authority operates, and  where nations are influenced, Godly outcomes are determined, and lives are transformed. It is the place of divine oversight and execution, likened to riding in the Lord’s chariots of fire, where His control governs every sphere of life.

This is the supreme glory realm where the Holy Spirit desires for all disciples of Jesus to walk and ride in which is the place where all authority given to Jesus in heaven and on earth is actively at work through our surrendered lives to establish His Kingdom agenda on earth.

Hebrews 4:9–11 exhorts us as believers to be diligent to enter this rest, warning that failure to do so results in disobedience and loss. The Holy Spirit further illuminated to me that even the Apostle John received the Revelation of Jesus Christ on the Lord’s Day, the Sabbath day on the Isle of Patmos in a moment of isolation, stillness, and his full attention was on the Lord without any worldly distractions which resulted in one of the most profound unveilings of Jesus in position of glory ever recorded.

The final thought to you is that this revelation is perfectly clear demonstrating that resting in what the Lord has already completed is the highest place of spiritual operation. Then from this position, we as His followers are in position to ride with Jesus and the Father in the triumphant place of unbroken victory, total freedom from failure, as long as we remain in that place delighting in the Lord.

So today I invite you to embrace fully the grace  supplied to you through this word which will empower you to walk in obedience, by enabling you to delight in the Lord through  Sabbath rest which enables you to ride with the Lord in His place of glory where you are experiencing life from Lord’s perspective while hidden in His Presence. In the secret place of His Presence, in the hiding place of His pavilion of protection, where the strife of tongues and the plots of men cannot reach you to cause any harm.This is the realm Jesus Himself walked in when on earth, where no one could harm or touch Him until His appointed time to die to save us.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I declare to you that you are called to live beyond the place of “just enough” into the overflowing abundance of God’s glory. From today, you answer the invitation from the Lord to ride with the Holy Spirit in His vehicle of glory, fully overtaken and saturated by His Presence.

I declare that you enter the Sabbath rest of the Lord by ceasing from your own works, your own ways, your own words, and your own strength. You on purpose delight yourself wholly in the Lord, and He causes you to ride upon the high places of the earth.

You will only speak Jesus’s  words that are Spirit and life, and those words will shift circumstances, govern outcomes, and release heaven’s authority on earth on your behalf. You will only ride where God rides, executing divine influence and righteous control in every sphere you touch.

I declare that you are hidden in the secret place of the Lord’s pavilion so no accusation, plot, or assault of the enemy shall prevail against you. You now walk only in the authority Jesus carries in heaven and on earth, as you bear fruit that remains.

May the magnificence of God’s glory radiate brightly through you, by enriching many and bringing full honor to Jesus’ Name, as you live from the place of rest, victory, triumph and overflowing abundance. So go ahead and ride on with the Lord in glory, and remain there, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.
