Welcome to another day, another time in the presence of the Lord.
Welcome to Morning Glow!
I trust the Lord to bless you this morning, impact your life, touch you, minister to you and your life never to be the same again in Jesus name.
Heavenly Father, we give glory, honour, adoration and praise to your name. We thank you! What a privilege to be in your presence this morning. We receive the blessing of this day in advance. We thank you because you are a good God. We magnify you, we celebrate you. Father we thank you, this week is opening unto us, this season is opening unto us, we are taking territories, we are overcoming battles, we are coming out in victory. May you name be glorified in Jesus name.
Amen!
I will like to welcome everyone who is joining us this morning from around the world. We celebrate you and thank God for you. We bless God for you and we trust that you will be bless this morning.
In few days’ time, we shall be celebrating one year of the Morning Glow. God has been so good during this one year. He has proven Himself Mighty, answered prayers, miracles and testimonies. Stay tuned, we’re going to let you know when we will be celebrating the one year and to magnify the Lord.
This morning God is going to give you a remarkable testimony in Jesus name.
We are going to pray some prayer of victory this morning, taking authority over all kind of afflictions and this season will be a season of celebration and thanksgiving in your life in Jesus name. Glory to God!
Affliction is what we want to come against this morning. What is affliction?
Affliction can be a disorder, disease, complain, ailment, illness, pain, distress, trouble, hardship, a season of challenges. It is a cause of persistence pain and distress. Sometimes it is mysterious and people wonder why is this thing happening to me? Affliction can be a condition of pain, a season of suffering, anything that makes a person to go through agony. Affliction can be a curse but Christ has redeemed us from every curse. Glory to God!
I believe God that someone will have a testimony. Some of the afflictions that have been in your family and personal life for a very long time; God is bringing you out of it and giving you an uncommon testimony in Jesus name.
Many times, the Bible talked about people who are going through afflictions, people who have experienced it. David said in Psalm 34:17-20, “The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.”
Wow! In other words when God steps into an experience of affliction, God can make it such that not one of your bones is broken.
What does it mean to be afflicted?
It means to go through a period of distress, a period of pain, a period of challenges, it can be health issues, financial, marital but this morning I am believing God that someone will testify in Jesus name.
This morning and the rest of the week we will be taking authority over affliction. The Scripture cannot be broken! The Bible says: many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers them from all of it. So, if anybody has told you that Christians don’t face anything, they lied. Christians do face issues but God always come through. It is actually in the womb of affliction that we know the power of our God.
You do not know the test of a weapon until there is a battle where you can use it so when you face affliction it is the time for God to show that He can save you, He can deliver you, He can prove Himself in your life. Affliction is the time that God can bring laughter into your life and to put celebration into your life. If you did not face it you wouldn’t know that this God is sweet and can turn things around.
Affliction can bring out the beauty that you will always carry. Those who have measured you by the challenges you face will not truly know you until the day your victory comes. There are so many people in the Bible who experience affliction and we will be taking one or two of them every morning to see their stories. God is taking the broken pieces of your life and putting them together to make something beautiful in the name of Jesus.
In the book of 1 Samuel 1:5-20, we saw the story of Hannah, the affliction of Hannah. Her life was a contradiction of her name. Her name Hannah means Favour. So here is a woman whose name is favour of God and she was also married to a man who favored her, who loved her but then she had no child. Her husband then married a second wife and the second wife was pumping baby every year and Hannah the loved One was despised. The other woman said she can’t get the affection of her husband and then decided to turn it into a reason to persecute Hannah and the Scriptures made us to understand that Hannah went to the house of God and cried because her womb was closed.
There are times people will say somethings to irritate you because they want to get at you but you must learn to look beyond them and see what God can do. Sometimes you need an enemy. Enemies make you win, enemies make you pray and fast, enemies make you to wait on God, enemies make you to be on guard, when you want to act stupid, enemies will make you remember that enemies will rejoice and you will get yourself back together again.
The Bible says year after year Hannah and her family went into the house of the Lord and Hannah will weep and weep and weep and will not eat and the other woman will not stop persecuting her. You know some people love to see you cry and that’s why you must not let the devil catch you, showing that what he is doing is affecting you. Learn to be like Job that said: ‘though He slay me, yet I will praise Him.’
I speak into the life of someone this morning that God is about to give you an unusual testimony in the name of Jesus.
Hannah was greatly distressed. She prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. The Priest also mis-understood her, sometimes the Church can misunderstand you in your season of affliction. The people in Church will think you are going through what you are going through because you are not a good person and it has nothing to do with that. We don’t know the root of afflictions, some afflictions can come from sin, family genetics, generational curse or places we have been to but God said He will deliver us from all of them so be ready to testify.
She made a vow unto the Lord and God opened her womb. Glory be to God! I speak to somebody this morning, the womb of favour is about to open for you. The next blessing God is going to give you will have your name on it in Jesus name. Your eyes will see it and your mouth will testify. Get ready for a season of change!
- Sometimes affliction makes us to put value on the things God has given us. I trust the Lord that as we are in His presence and we declare victory over all kinds of affliction, you are coming back with unusual, exceptional, supernatural, God-glorifying, demon defeating, Satan shaming, Jesus exalting and heaven revealing testimony in Jesus name.
- Establish it in you spirit that God’s Word cannot lie.
- 2 Corinthians 4:17
There is no special problem. If it is special you are the one who specialize it and even if it is special we serve a God who specialize in things that are thought to be impossible. Who ever says there is no God is a fool! - Ecclesiastes 7:7
When a man goes through oppression, wisdom fails. Oppression makes a wise man mad. You will not take foolish steps in this season of your life in Jesus name. Steps that will bless you, steps that will increase you, steps that will favour you and lift you are the steps that you will take in Jesus name. I pray for you today, every oppression from the kingdom of hell that is wanting to make you mad, be free in the name of Jesus. - Psalm 7:9
I speak into your life today that in the midst of that affliction, God establishes you for victory in the name of Jesus. - Exodus 1:12
Every hand that has risen against you in affliction shall push you into your testimony, glory and breakthrough. It shall end up becoming your stepping stones into greater testimony in Jesus name. I lay hand unto someone and I declare this affliction will turnaround and be your reason to break forth into uncommon favour, uncommon blessing and uncommon glory in Jesus name. - Exodus 3:7
The Lord is bringing you out with testimony in Jesus name.
God will fight for you in Jesus name. - Psalm 25:16,18
Lord we come before you this morning, we acknowledge that there are generational battles and some afflictions that have been going on for years, this morning we tear those clothes of affliction and we speak peace that passes all understanding, we speak a divine and uncommon intervention in our lives in Jesus name. - Psalm 119:107
This morning by the enrichment of God’s Word, you are coming out of every affliction in the name of Jesus.
The Word set you free!
The Word delivers you!
The Word gives you victory! - Job 36:15
The Lord will prosper your hand and you are coming out of financial afflictions in the name of Jesus. May the treasures of heaven answer to you. The treasures of darkness, of hidden riches, treasures of the field, treasures of the sea and treasures of the sand answer unto you in the name of Jesus. - Isaiah 63:9
Receive healing from all kinds of health affliction in the name of Jesus. I cursed all kinds of sickness, pain, margarine headache in the name of Jesus. - Isaiah 48:10
You are coming out of this situation better and stronger in the name of Jesus. You are coming out refined, you are coming out with an unusual testimony, power and glory in the name of Jesus.
