DELIBERATE PRAISE | DECEMBER 2017



Though the darkness may suggest otherwise, it's in order to say “Good Morning” moments after 12:00am.
Praising at midnight (grateful when it doesn't really seem logical to be) is like rejoicing for a miracle before it is obvious.

25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.
Acts 16:25-26

5 Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.
6 Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
Psalm 67:5-7




Conception may be unnoticed but pregnancy can’t be hidden.
Some answers to prayers initiate a process even the recipient may not fully comprehend.
It's wise to prepare for harvest long before it arrives.

1 “Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.

Isaiah 54:1-3



As runners cross the finish line with lifted hands, may reasons to rejoice abound this new month.

May the Deliberate Praises offered this twelfth month rise in acceptance as both gratitude for the blessings received and a memorial ensuring completion of the blessings in process.

God Bless You!

TRANSITION + TURNAROUND | December 2013
Excerpt: AM or PM, the twelfth hour represents TRANSITION…
Midnight is the transition time period from one day to the next: the moment when the date changes. 
However, we can determine what sort of day it should be…
As your praises go up to God in this twelfth month, may He CROWN all your efforts this year with a TURNAROUND that would make people say concerning you, "this can only be God".

TANDEM VICTORIA | DECEMBER 2014
Excerpt: Not everyone that started this year is alive this day…
If a living dog is better than a dead lion (Ecclesiastes 9:4), how much more a living lion that’s destined by design to be victorious (Proverbs 30:30)…?
Like a runner winning the race, the clock has all hands up at 12 o’clock.
In this 12th month, may you with hands raised, 
proclaim "VICTORY AT LAST!" ...

FINAL NOTE | December 2015
Excerpt: The twelve unique notes of the piano allows for twelve possible keys in music…
...regardless of position, just about any key can start a great song.
The last note of a song can sometimes give a clue to what key the song was in.
May this be a December full of JOYOUS CELEBRATIONS indeed.


Twelve Baskets Full | December 2016
Excerpt: Thanksgiving creates more opportunities to give thanks.
In counting our blessings, we are more than likely to lose count especially when we pay attention to those blessings we think don’t count.
What would have barely fed a few at first, became more than enough afterwards…
Challenges are somewhat indicators of blessings about to come or of those we’ve received.
The table is always closer than the enemies around...
In taking time to pick up the extras, twelve baskets were realized.
When we take time to think, even the seemingly insignificant becomes a genuine reason to thank God.

A NOVEMBER LIKE NO OTHER | NOVEMBER 2017


The number ‘11’ is also the number ‘1’ on another dimension;
A fresh start. A new beginning.

18 “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. 
19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? 
I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV)



Those who Seek His Face, don’t lose out on the benefits of His Hands.

12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 
13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NLT)




1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, 
as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. 
Ezekiel 1:1 (NKJV)

May the Open Heavens of this season,
Make this 11th month, a November like No Other.

God Bless You.

GOD SEEKERS OF THE ELEVENTH HOUR | NOVEMBER 2013
Excerpt: May it be that as you “clock in hours” to Seek His Face in the “Kairos” moments of this “Eleventh Hour”, you and all yours will be protected, preserved and provided for.
May it be that as you begin a lifelong quest to Seek His Face this NOvember, NOmember of your family is left out as the Reward of Diligent SEEKERS comes your way.

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.

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)

WayMaker | November 2016
Excerpt: 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"... 
Two months, too much!

GOD AT THE CENTER | OCTOBER 2017


As there are no horizontal lines on the Nigeria National Flag;
May this nation continue to stand tall and stand strong.
May the pillars of good in this nation never fall.

1 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:1-3 (NKJV)

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; 
but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright.
Psalm 20:7 (NKJV)




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.
May we continue to rise above every challenge with flying colours.

The white in between the green also seems to say;
"God at the center"

17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)

17 “Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver, instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will also make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness. 18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; But you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.

Isaiah 60:17-18 (NKJV)

May this nation continue to STAND TALL, STRONG and UNITED; 
GOD AT THE CENTER


Our Song, Our Prayer (Stanza 2, Nigeria National Anthem)
Oh God of creation | Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right | Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow | And live in just and true
Great lofty heights attain | To build a nation where peace
And justice shall reign

God Bless You.

MULTIPLICITY | October 2013
Excerpt: In this tenth month of DOUBLE (honor, favour, speed, grace etc), 
May the fruits you’ve produced hitherto (and those to come), usher you into the realm of multiplication.

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. 
It is possible for the light to have come yet everything seems to indicate otherwise…
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.

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.
The restraining effect of a brake is more evident on a vehicle about to move or one already in motion
Until it comes to pass, a prophecy sometimes sounds like a lie to the one receiving it.
Physical evidences sometimes contradict the spoken word.
An uncommon voice of wisdom always stands out from many voices of common reasoning. 
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.
