DAY 1: OBEY OR LOSE YOUR CHANCE: Sunday October 11th 2015

Memorise: While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts,
as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:15
Read; Hebrews 3:13-15, 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is
called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin.
14
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of
our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation.
Bible in one year: Numbers 12:1-14:19, 2nd Corinthians 6:14-7:16
MESSAGE!
Beloved, if God indicates to you His desire to use you in building His kingdom in one
capacity or another, do not hesitate, because He may just use someone else if you
do. One of my pastors and I once went through an experience relevant to this subject.
During the early days of building the Redemption Camp, when things were very rough
and tough, I practically lived at the camp, as I tried to ensure that the little we had was
efficiently utilised. On a particular day, we were in need of a certain amount. This
pastor came to me and we exchanged pleasantries, after which he told me what he
came for. I knew that he had the money we required, so after we were done with his
purpose for coming, I told him I urgently needed an amount to solve a problem. He
said Okay sir, I will pray about it, and he left. This happened on a Saturday. By
Monday, he came back to say he was now ready to give me the money, but I told him
the need had been met. Daddy, I am not leaving your office until you take the money,
he protested, I then replied him, saying You said you wanted to go and pray about it.
Continue with your prayer. What God wanted done has been done. That day, he
resolved that although he had missed out on that opportunity, he would not suffer the
same fate again. He decided to stay back at the camp and handed his business over
to his wife. He has been to tremendous assistance since then.
When you hear a call to partake in a kingdom project, do not delay unnecessarily, or
else, by the time you are ready, the work would have been done without you. When
some people make pledges towards the Holy Ghost Congress meetings we held in
December, a lot of them fail to redeem theirs. In spite of this, the Congress still holds,
and by the grace of God. We are never in deficit at the end of any Congress. In
addition, it is important to know that the Almighty God can transfer wealth from one
person to another. In 2nd Kings 7:1-11, Samaria was besieged by the Syrian army, to

the extent that some women began to eat their children. God declared that the situation
would change within 24 hours and it was so. How? He simply transferred wealth from
the Syrians to the children of Israel. If you fail to use your God-given resources for His
kingdom, you may be calling for God to transfer them to those who will use them to
glorify Him.
Key Point
Some opportunities for outstanding life transformations cannot afford to wait
until you are ready.

DAY 2: CHANGE THROUGH CONTACT Monday October 12th 2015

Memorise: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1st Corinthians 1:24
Read: 2nd Kings 2:19-22, 19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha,

Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord

seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
20
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they
brought it to him.
21
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt
in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters;
there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
22
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying
of Elisha which he spake.
Bible in one year: Numbers 14:20-15:41, 2nd Corinthians 8
MESSAGE!
A sceptre is the symbol of a kings authority. It carries so much power that a king can
send it somewhere as a representation of his physical presence. Where the sceptre
of a king is, it means the king is there himself; and only the kings most trusted
chamberlains can come in direct contact with the sceptre. These earthy royal
traditions mirror some truths in the spiritual realm. In the kingdom of God, when you
come in contact with the sceptre of power, not only will your life change, the lives of
those connected to you will change also. In Mark 5:35-42, when Jairus contacted the
sceptre of the Most High God, which is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, the sorrow he
once knew was turned into joy as death gave way to life. Similarly, in our Bible reading,
the city of Jericho which had become accustomed to sorrow, tears, barrenness and
death as a result of a curse place over it a long time ago (Joshua 6:26),n suddenly
had a reversal when its people contacted Gods power through His anointed servant.

What is that unpleasant situation in your life today that is causing pain, sorrow,
weeping and depression? You shall contact the sceptre of Gods power through this
devotional, and your situation shall experience a drastic, positive turn in Jesus Name.
When I joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I felt like a fish out of
water, because all my life, if I ever worshipped at all, it was at a cathedral or in a
university chapel. I was used to being in places where everything was done decently
and orderly. Then I came to RCCG and thought everything was in order until they
began to pray. When the minister leading the prayer said, In the Name of Jesus, the
man who sat next to me shouted Amen in such high decibels that I felt like running
out of the place, but something tied me down. Not long after, I gave my life to Jesus.
Soon after, I was taught about the baptism in the Holy Ghost. After this, I was taught
about the things of the Spirit; then I started learning about the power of the Most-High
God, and not long after, that power began to operate through me. When Gods power
begins to flow through you, it goes far beyond you. It is for other people: the needy,
the sick, the impoverished, those in captivity and everyone who needs a miracle from
God. As you surrender to the sceptre of Gods power today by giving you life to Him,
and by allowing Him to take His place as the Lord of your life, you will be amazed
where that contact with His power can take you.
Prayer Point
Lord Jesus, Sceptre of the Most High God, please touch me today and make my
life whole.

DAY 3: ELEMENTS PROVIDE SUPPORT Tuesday October 13th 2015

Memorise: The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. Psalm
121:6
Read: Joshua 10:12-14, 12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day
when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of
Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon
Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had
avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the
book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and
hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that
the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought
for Israel.

MESSAGE!
On the 6th of October, we studied some of the markers which indicate that a life is
blessed. We gained insight into the fact that when you are blessed, the seasons will
cooperate with you to succeed. We also saw that the heavenly bodies provide support
to enable a blessed life operate optimally. Today, I want to share with you a few of my
personal experiences on this subject matter in order to build up your faith.
Some years ago, we went to Abeokuta (South-West of Nigeria) to hold a crusade in
front of the Alakes (traditional ruler) palace. Just as I made the altar call to salvation
and people began to come out in response to the call, the rains came and those who
were coming forward began to return to their seats. So I said, Hey, rain, stay where
you are. You cannot fall now. Immediately, the rain rolled back like a carpet from
where we were holding the meeting. By the time we were rounding up the programme
on a Monday, the resident pastor came and reminded me to release the rain. I simply
told him that after we left, the rain would fall. Thirty minutes after we left the town, the
rain fell.
In the same vein, many years ago, I wanted to pray at night and I needed a quiet place,
so I went to the main auditorium we had then at the Redemption Camp. At the same
time, some other people were there to pray, and they were so loud that I had to leave.
I had no better alternative than to take my rechargeable torchlight and head into the
bush path. I went farther and farther into the jungle. Initially, my torchlight was well
charged and bright. When I got close to the river, I heard a sound and I switched on
my torchlight to see what it was, but the light went out. I was suddenly surrounded by
darkness and wondered how I would make it through the dark jungle to a place that
had some light, just then I recalled when I was young, how our teacher taught us that
if you suddenly find yourself in darkness, if you close your eyes for a while and reopen
them, it wont be as dark as it was before. So I closed my eyes, and by the time I
reopened them, there was bright moonlight all over the place where I was. With this
light, I easily made my way out of the jungle. But then I recalled that the place was
very dark when I first arrived. How did the moonlight come about? At that moment, I
looked up and discovered that there was no moon! When you are blessed, the sun,
the moon and the rain will cooperate with you. Whenever it appears as if any of these
elements of nature is about to stand in your way, do not panic. Simply command them
to yield, so that Gods ultimate purpose will be done.
Action Point
Pray for all missionaries, that God will meet all their needs and protect their
families.

DAY4: THE SUPER NEED Wednesday October 14th 2015

Memorise: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which
shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:42
000000000000
Read: Luke 10:38-42, 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he
entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named
Martha received him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and
heard his word.
40
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him,
8
and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to
serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art
careful and troubled about many things:
42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.
Bible in one year: Numbers 18-19, 2nd Corinthians 10
MESSAGE!
When a person chases several rats in different directions, the most likely outcome is
that none of those rats will be caught. In life, we are often barraged with so many
competing issues at the same time, most of which legitimately deserve our attention.
There is therefore the need to become more focused, in order to be effective in our
pursuits. In day to day activities of life, we are often torn between wants and needs.
Wants can be defined as known valuable things which people desire and would like to
own. Needs on the other hand may be known or unknown, liked or disliked, but they
satisfy a requirement of life. A sick fellow needs to see a doctor for treatment, whether
he likes the idea or not. This is a need. Needs are often very crucial and relate to the
necessities of life such as food, transport, clothing and shelter. Sometime, the way a
person goes about satisfying a need can transform that desire to a want and not a
need. Take for instance the fellow who requires a car to move from his house to his
office every day. Almost any normal car can meet this need; but if the fellow decides
to buy a Ferrari to meet this need, the desire for a Ferrari has turned that need into a
want.
To become more prudent, you should focus on your needs and down play your wants.
If you acquire all the wealth on planet earth, the day you die, you will realise the futility
of being unable to take any of it with you. The reality of this fact made Apostle Paul to
admonish us that we should imbibe the virtue of contentment (1st Timothy 6:6-8). Even

among needs, a scale of priorities should be applied. Needs are of varying degrees of
importance. In Luke 10:38-42, while visiting two sisters, the Lord plainly told them this:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not
be taken away from her.
Luke 10:42
He was speaking of a super need. It is good to be nice to people, and it is good to be
hospitable; but better than all these is the need to sit at the feet of Jesus, studying,
reading, meditating, hearing and memorising His words. The brethren who apply the
No Bible, no breakfast principle have understood the need to subordinate all other
legitimate need under the super need of all the Word of God. Are you giving the
Word its rightful place in your life? The Word should come first. How much time do you
set aside for the Bible daily?
Prayer point
Father, in whatever situation I find myself, grant me grace to always give You
priority.

DAY5: CLAIMING UNCLAIMED HARVESTS Thursday October 15th 2015

Memorise: I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men
laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. John 4:38
Read: John 4:35-38, 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look
on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto
life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
rejoice together.
37
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men
laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
Bible in one year: Numbers 20:1-21:30, 2nd Corinthians 11:1-15
MESSAGE!
Total restoration is possible for those who believe in God. Beyond total restoration, it
is equally possible to be a recipient of uncommon restoration. An uncommon
restoration occurs in a situation where your progenitors laboured without a harvest,
but when you turned up, you received the reward for all their labours. That was the
experience of the children of Israel. For 430 years, they laboured for Egypt without
pay. The generation of their fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and others

Collated By Da Talent

laboured but were not paid; then came the generation that Moses had to lead out
of Egypt. The very night they were to go, all the salaries of their fathers, grandfathers,
great-grandfathers and so on were delivered to them (Exodus 12:33-36). Have
generations before you laboured without pay? Congratulations! You are the one to
enter into their harvest! All that your progenitors worked for, but never got, shall be
delivered to you in Jesus Name.
Similarly, in some families, a curse of no reward has been placed on them. Due to this
curse, labour without harvest has become their household name for successive
generations. Is that your situation? Has someone placed a curse of work without
reward on your lineage? Today, that curse is broken! All the harvests of your
ancestors that they could not get shall be delivered to you in Jesus Name. Moreover,
this is also applies to ministers of the gospel. Jesus in John 4:38 says:
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured,
and ye are entered into their labours.
Labouring and harvesting are two distinct things. Not everyone who labours receives
a commensurate harvest. Within this context, we can safely say that there are three
categories of people: those who labour but never enter into their harvest, and those
who access the harvest of others, irrespective of whether they laboured for it or not.
This explains why some people, including pastors, labour so hard and long at some
particular
locations without any fruit. After they become discouraged and leave, some
13
others
come into the same location and without doing anything much, they begin to
10
reap what they never sowed. You shall not lose your harvest anymore! You shall
receive your full harvest and even enter into the unclaimed harvests of others in Jesus
Name!
Prayer Point:
Father, frustrate every plan to separate me from my harvest, and link me up with
the unclaimed harvest of those who have gone ahead of me in my family and in
my field of labour.

DAY6: MARRIED TO IDOLS? Friday October 16th 2015

Memorise: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Hosea 4:17
Read: Deuteronomy 4:15-20, 15 Take ye therefore good heed unto
14
yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that
10
14
the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the
similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17
The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any
winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness
of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest
the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven,
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which
the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole
heaven.
20
But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the
iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
inheritance, as ye are this day.

Bible in one year: Numbers 21:31-23:12, 2nd Corinthians 11:16-33

MESSAGE!
In Genesis 48:13-20, Ephraim experienced a positive switch at the expense of his
brother, Manasseh. He was last but become first. He was supposed to get the lesser
blessing, but he got the greater portion. From today, you shall experience a positive
switch in JesusName. Situations surrounding you shall suddenly change from bad to
fair, fair to good, good to better and better to best. You are in for a great surprise this
season.
However, looking at the situation of Ephraim down the line, we see that it is one thing
to experience a positive switch, and it is another thing to sustain it. After inheriting his
elder brothers blessing, and having prospered above him in multiple folds, Ephraim
could not manage his blessing. After he experienced unprecedented success,
Ephraim neglected God and created idols for himself.Hosea 4:17 says;
Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
This Scripture says he was joined to his idols. In other words, one way to frustrate
Gods grace upon your life is to join yourself to idols. To join is another way to saying
to be married to something you love so much. What is the idol taking the love,
attention, devotion and time meant for God in your life?

Collated By Da Talent

The idols could mean real, tangible symbols or items to which you devote your
worship, trust and love. Not too long ago, some people were said to have discovered
some magical river with healing or miraculous powers, and so many people went there.
If you are a true believer in Christ, you can never be found in such a place. An
apparition appears on a particular building and people start visiting the place for
prayers; they must have thrown away the scripture found inJohn 4:21. These are all
idolatrous practices. Also, the use of talismanic rings and amulets, rosaries, scapulars,
coloured candles and religious objects of protection or good luck are all part of idolatry.
If you are joined to idols, you cannot remain joined to Jesus Christ; He will simply step
out before you merge with idols. What is that idol making you to rubbish Gods
goodness in your life? For some, it is their spouse. If you love your spouse above God,
you are provoking Gods jealousy. Eventually, Ephraim become desolate (Hosea 5:9).
That is what happens to idolaters. At some point, your idols will desert you. Be wise
today!
Action Point
Thank God for the success of our past Holy Ghost Congress meetings, pray that
this years Congress will witness unprecedented manifestations of Gods
presence.

DAY 7:CARRIERS OF BLESSINGS Saturday October 17th 2015

Memorise: Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be
ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:5
Read: Genesis 21:1-6,21 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said,
and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at
the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him,
whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as

God had commanded him.

MESSAGE
When adults and parents are stained with sin or have become preoccupied with the
affairs of life, God may speak to them through their children. This was exactly what
happened to Eli (1st Samuel 3:1-10). One reason why children are such powerful
weapons in Gods hands in their innocence. Because they are not yet accustomed to
sin, when they pray, God answers their prayers. Several years ago, when my children
were still very young, anytime I needed something from God so desperately, I asked
them to pray for me, and I got answers.
Sin separates us from God, so that it becomes difficult for Him to hear us when we call
upon Him (Isaiah 59:1-2). Sin can stop the prayers of the elderly, but children on the
other hand are innocent. You will notice that when it is time to praise God, they do so
without any inhibition. When they dance before God, they are not self-conscious like
the adults. They do not care who is looking at them. They dance for God anyhow, and
God is glorified. Therefore, when they cry to God, their angels take their prayers right
before God and the answer comes back speedily. Because of this, Psalm 127:5 says
the man who has his quiver full of children is happy, blessed, fortunate and to be
envied. If you do not have any child yet, the Lord will remember you this season. If you
have one or two but you want more, the Lord will answer you speedily.
Moreover, children are carriers of blessings, and they can bring an end to an era of
sorrow. Whenever they go, they take blessings along with them. For instance, when
Isaac was born, the sorrow in the hearts of his parents was terminated. Also, after
Samuel was born, the mouths of mockers who had made life miserable for his mother
were shut (1st Samuel 2:1-10). Children can permanently shut the mouth of mockers!
Has the absence of children in your home brought you sorrow? That sorrow shall be
taken away this season! Have tongues been mocking you all along? The Lord will
shock your mockers and silence them permanently this season. Give your life to Christ
if you have not already done so, and submit yourself to God. Take time and pleasure
in doing the things that make Him happy. Give Him quality praise, thanks and worship
always, and He will surprise you.
Prayer Point
Father, by the Blood of Jesus, frustrates every plan of the enemy to initiate our
children into satanic cults and associations.
