10
Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.
Father, Thank
you for the journey of my life. Thank you for my Season
of advancement.
11
So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had
set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he
lay down in that place to sleep.
I
receive resources for every step on the journey of my life and all my
endeavors.
The
sun of my glory and energy will not set.
What
is difficult for others will be easy for me; I will always see a solution in
every circumstance. My world view and perspective will always be positive. I
see through the eyes of victory.
12
Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached
to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
The
Heavens are open over me. My vision is clear. I see the invisible and hear the
inaudible. I touch Heaven and change earth. I have abundant angelic assistance.
My prayers are answered and I am full of gratitude.
13
And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham
your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you
and your descendants.
I
am a joint heir of The Kingdom. I possess my possessions; I receive the nations
for my inheritance. I am a blessing to my generation.
14
Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread
abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in
your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
My
generation is blessed by virtue of my love walk with God. My Father has
increased me; I can NOT be small. My seed and brain children are global
blessings; families of the earth are blessed through my family.
15
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you
back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have
spoken to you.”
I
have Divine backing, insurance and assurance. He that called me is faithful; he
shall do it. Not a word fails of every good thing the Lord has spoken
concerning me; all comes to pass.
16
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place,
and I did not know it.”
I
refuse to be asleep in the day of my visitation. I am spiritually alert to
Divine presence and prompting.
17
And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than
the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
I
am proactive and not reactive. I dictate the spiritual climate of my region and
domain always. As I say it, I see it.
18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and
took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured
oil on top of it.
I
command my morning. Wealth flows to me because it flows through me.I am a priest; I am a mobile altar, raising
altars.
19
And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been
Luz previously.
God
has given me places and spaces; what I call it, is what it begins to be.
24
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of
day.
In
this season, I have definite encounters and defining moments.
25
Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of
his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with
him.
Father,
take away from me, whatever is a limitation to my progress on this journey of
life and destiny. I want to be totally dependent on you.
26
And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You
go unless You bless me!”
I
receive persistence in the place of prayer.
27
So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”
28
And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you
have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
I
receive a positive change of identity in this season. I shall be called by a
new name.
it’s obvious a grateful heart cannot remain small.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psalm 22:3 KJV
19 Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Jeremiah 30:19 NKJV
Thanksgiving is the application for more.
Like a funnel, hands lifted in gratitude and thanksgiving to God;
make room for more of Him to be poured into us.
Gratitude makes great, the little.
11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
John 6:11 NKJV
4 Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him.
Psalm 100:4 MSG
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
ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father, thank you for the last month of the year 2018.
I specifically thank you for being my help.
(1 Samuel 7:12)
Father, thank you for the guarantee from your Word that the end of this year will be better than its beginning!
(Ecclesiastes 7:8)
DECLARATIONS
Father, Thank You for keeping me alive to see today.
I thank you for the guarantee I have in your Word that I am NOT leaving this year defeated or empty handed!
I move into the new year with hands raised in the proclamation of victory; this is my month of joyous celebrations, abundant harvest and multiple opportunities for Thanksgiving!
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)…? Regardless of what this year may have been like, we have a guarantee in God that we are NOT leaving this year defeated! Just like the children of Israel left Egypt with much spoil (Exodus 12:36), we will NOT enter the new year empty handed. 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!" as we approach the new year! God Bless You!
FINAL NOTE | December 2015 Excerpt: The twelve unique notes of the piano allow 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.
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. Thanking God for what He’s done before is an application for more. May the blessings of this year be a tiny fraction of those to be seen in the new year. God Bless You!
Excerpt: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. 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. 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!
If you’re reading this and yet to accept Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and personal Saviour, please pray the below:
Heavenly Father, I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I am a sinner and cannot help myself. I believe with all my heart, that Jesus died, was buried and rose triumphantly for me! Forgive me all my sins. Cleanse me with the precious blood of your son, Jesus. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve you, the true and living God. Today, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank you for saving me! I am born again. I believe that I’m now your true child, in Jesus' mighty name.
If you prayed the above prayer sincerely, welcome to a life of victory as a child of the living God! You have been set apart by God.

Those who chase God are
caught by the benefits others seek.
8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63:8
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O
God.
Psalm 42:1
31 “So don’t worry about these
things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the
thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above
all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:33 NLT
Seeking God is like
digging deep upwards.
Big fishes don't swim in shallow waters;
Treasures await hunger spurred actions towards God.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
all Your
waves and billows have gone over me.
Psalm 42:7
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great
waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.
Psalm 107:23-24
ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father, thank you for this eleventh month;
I bless you for 11th hour rewards and miracles.
(Matthew 20:6-9)
Father, thank you for you crowning this year with a bountiful harvest such that even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.
(Psalm 65:11) DECLARATIONS 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. The prophecies spoken over my life this year have been done in eternity and are unfolding in this season. Because God said it; it's done! He's TOO faithful to fail! Therefore, I insist on the fulfillment of every prophecy in line with God's Word. As I play my part, I see God giving me a FRESH START this eleventh month. This is NOT just another November of my years; it is a November of NOVELTY (new, unique, original & unusual) Every door of opportunity opened by Grace that I didn't walk through; Mercy has reopened in this new season. As THE WAY steps in, my walls become doors. I locate true helpers of destiny, bearing worthy counsel. As I seek His Face anew this month, I receive the benefits of His Hands. The Open Heavens of this season, make this 11th month, a November like No Other.
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. It’s time to run even more vigorously with every sure word of prophecy as we insist on their fulfillment. As we play our part, I see God giving us a FRESH START this eleventh month. God IS Good!
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) God Bless You!
Excerpt:When God's Grace opens some doors of opportunity we don't see; God's Mercy keeps these doors opened until we notice and walk through them. 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"... Like Samuel, may we locate true helpers of destiny, bearing worthy counsel. God Bless You! A NOVEMBER LIKE NO OTHER | NOVEMBER 2017
Excerpt:The number ‘11’ is also the number ‘1’ on another dimension; A fresh start. A new beginning. Those who Seek His Face, don’t lose out on the benefits of His Hands. May the Open Heavens of this season, Make this 11th month, a November like No Other. God Bless You. 'Bayor

2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and
spare no expense!
3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will
occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.

there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of
your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.

14 May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 115:14-15
It’s
a lack of faith to pray for rain and leave home without an umbrella.
Adding
works to your faith makes you too busy to doubt.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me
your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
James 2:18
18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the
prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good
warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected,
concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
1 Timothy 1:18
Warring
with prophecy is like tuning your radio to a station.
It is
out of place to say the station is not on air if the radio is not tuned in.
When
the Spirit puts a prayer in our hearts, He is preparing us to receive the answer
He made available before we knew what to pray.
The
Author is the Finisher. That He said it, means He has completed it.
Our
future is in God's memory as our past is in ours.
Man
remembers the past, God remembers the future;
His promise and prophecies are
not intentions, they are descriptions.
10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not
return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may
give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes
forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish
what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means
pass away.

work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father,
thank you for this tenth month;
I bless you because it shall be a month of restoration
and multiplication.
(Joel
2:25-27, Jeremiah 30:19)
Father,
thank you for the last quarter of the year 2018.
I appreciate you because this
end of the year shall be glorious and peaceful.
(Haggai
2:9)
Father,
thank you for you crowning this year with a bountiful harvest such that even
the hard pathways overflow with abundance.
(Psalm

DECLARATIONS
In
this season, I decree and declare that my nation is blessed. I call forth
changes in all sectors that bring about great increase in value of this nation.
We are endowed with the wisdom to consistently take positive and progressive steps
that bring about restoration. The pillars of good in this nation will never
fall. We continue to stand united as one nation undivided by prevailing winds. We
rise above every challenge with flying colours. We stand tall, strong and
united; God at the center.
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. 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. God bless Nigeria!
Excerpt:It is tougher to break free from mental chains especially when they are not known to exist. Not every prisoner is behind bars. Until it comes to pass, a prophecy sometimes sounds like a lie to the one receiving it. Physical evidences sometimes contradict the spoken word. 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. GOD AT THE CENTER | OCTOBER 2017
Excerpt:As there are no horizontal lines on the Nigeria National Flag; May this nation continue to stand tall and stand strong. 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. The white in between the green also seems to say; "God at the center" May this nation continue to STAND TALL, STRONG and UNITED; GOD AT THE CENTER
