JUST BECAUSE A PROPHETIC WORD IS BEFORE YOU DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING WILL CHANGE. YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE IT WITH UNDERSTANDING.
THE PART OF SCRIPTURE YOU BELIEVE IS THE PART THAT WORKS FOR YOU.
WHEN YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING, TRAIN YOURSELF TO STOP ALL THESE COMPLAINING AND LAMENTATIONS.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD.
WHEN YOU KEEP QUIET, YOU WILL BECOME A VICTIM. IT IS IN SPEAKING, DIRECTION COMES.
- Apostle Joshua Selman at Koinonia on ‘MARVELOUS LIGHT’ (Part 2).
There are things about life that you have to believe. The Bible says we have been raised up with Christ and we have been made to sit with Him, far above principalities and powers. When you believe this, you can convince yourself that no enchantment and no divination can work against you. Church Gist. There are the workings of the spirit from within us, that will demonstrate the excellency of the power of God, that one day, people will ask you; “How are you outsourcing your health and your life?” And you will tell them.
Science knows that, there is a relationship between light and health and life. “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word, by every light.” “The entrance of thy Word giveth light.” The entrance of food gives vitamins and minerals. If you eat rice, is it the rice you really need? There is the nutrient from it. So if you eat scripture, what really happens? Because the Bible tells us that both of them can do something to you. Believers, let’s not toy with our lives, literally in the days that we’re living. There are all kinds of mysterious sicknesses and wicked spirits have complicated it, so people do not even know which one is medical and which one is demonic. There are people who can have a legitimate medical condition, as soon as that one is over, demons just cash in on the pain and continue painting it that this one is no longer medical.
Romans 8:11
If you are a man of God here, you have to know this otherwise the burden of ministry will kill you. I didn’t come to the earth by mistake, I’ll never leave by mistake. This is my covenant with God. My parents have never told me that I arrived by mistake. There’s no power in existence that sustains the ability to separate my spirit from body out of my cooperation. You have to choose what you believe, otherwise, anything will just sweep you like that.
Let me tell you this, I don’t mean to sound arrogant but believe me when I tell you; if I were lying about what I am teaching you, it would have shown. I have prayed for too many people with situations that you are not even supposed to come near them. There are suicidal things you don’t try except you know what you are standing on. Church Gist. I remember years ago, a family wanted to destroy some charms because the person to inherit the thing was not interested and there is a consequence for not being interested and so, when they brought it, they put it in a leather. I said, open it, let me see and they were afraid for me. When I held it, I looked at it; these things were all elements of the earth. The blood there, is it not chicken or goat or whatever it is and all those enchantments. I said, look let me tell you something, these things don’t just work anyhow. There is a condition that makes it work. Even Jesus knocked on my heart to enter, why should something enter without knocking?
You think it’s the devil’s plan for me to be alive by now? There are people satan does not want pain for them, he wants them to die because even if they are in pain, it’s still a disadvantage (the fact that they are alive).
Say;
“In the name of Jesus, the life of God is at work in me.”
This is the year where you have to believe, don’t take the risk of just living in an evil world like this, without even knowing these things. It will cost you more than you can imagine. Man of God, you can’t be travelling from region to region, preaching Jesus, healing the sick and not know what you are standing on. Church Gist. The devil will not watch you raise people from wheel chairs, end captivities over people’s life and not want to take your own life. But Jesus said, “no man taketh it from me. I have the power to lay it down.” The part of scripture you believe is the part that works for you. This is why laziness in studying the Word is your agreeing with death among other spirit to destroy you.
John 8:12
There is light that produces life
5). Supernatural empowerment. We are in the days of His power, a demonstration of the authority and the power of the Kingdom, in a dimension that will dumbfound principalities and powers. It takes light to reign and exert dominion. Jesus said, “behold I give you power. The Greek word is Exousia, authority over snakes and scorpions and over every power of the enemy.” The word power there is not just Dunamis, it is authority; the power that comes by reason of knowledge. This is the kind of authority that is demonstrated on the account of light to trample upon snakes, scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
You need to manifest the power of the Holy Spirit and manifest Kingdom authority in truth.
6). A season of showing forth, a season of unveiling, a season of exploit.
Isaiah 60:1-2
To arise is one thing, but to shine is another and both of them will happen because your light is come. The same light that makes you arise is the same light that can make you shine.
Ephesians 5:13
In this season, God is going to be unveiling things, secrets that have kept families down, the puzzles and mysteries. Church Gist. The strength of darkness is secrecy and mysticism but light comes to make manifest. When light comes, that which is hidden is made manifest.
Everything in the Kingdom has demands or requirements. It is not all up to God and it is not all up to the saints in Christ. There is always a participatory requirement.
1). You must cultivate a passion and a thirst for knowledge. Knowledge will not just come and meet you, you have to pursue with passion. Don’t forbear with ignorance this year. Make up your mind; “I’m tired of this generational ignorance, I’m tired of this limitation” and you pursue it diligently (Matthew 7:7-8).
2). You must be teachable; you must be meek (James 1:21). Meekness is a posture; you put yourself in a position where you are passionate about knowing what you do not know and when you find an opportunity to know it, you drop away the mentality we call in this side of Africa called an “I too know mentality.” Church Gist. Those who believe they know everything are the ones who don’t know anything. You easily know those who know by their passion to know more.
What will the Word of God be doing in the temple, the Word of God, yet at age 12, He was in the temple, learning under people He would one day save. You must cultivate passion for knowledge. Don’t come to the house of God this year, hoping to learn one thing or the other. You must come intentional, ready to receive and damage every level of ignorance that you find. Don’t forbear with darkness and ignorance; have the meekness to learn.
3). You must be determined to see the light of God manifest in every area of darkness in your life. That means, it is your responsibility under God to list the several areas of your life, where you desire to see the light and the power of God and begin to probe them one by one.
This is the year where when God shows you mercy in an area, you pat your back in that area but you turn and begin to say, Lord, thank you for this area but here, here, here and you stay with God until your joy is complete. Engage the Word in every area of your life.
4). You must be committed to the gathering of the saints like never before (Psalm 83:17). There is a level of understanding that cannot happen to you just in your private quiet time, there is a level of light and illumination that happens when we come together as a family of faith. You must discipline yourself this year and fight any kind of spiritual laziness and laxity.
5). You must be committed to speaking the Word of God all through this year. Light shines in this Kingdom when we command it to (2 Corinthians 4:6). Light does not just shine. So how does light shine for you? – You command it to shine. When it has to do with shinning, you don’t wish shinning, you command shinning. This is the year when creation must hear your voice. This is not the year to be silent, this is not the year of pray for me, pray for me Apostle. I’ll pray for you but you must get up and say, in the name of Jesus, January hear the Word of the Lord, I command light (you change that light to anything light can be).
If you keep quiet, I’ve taught this; one of the assignments of the spirit of depression is to bring you to a point of silence, where your brain keep wishing for many things that never happen. If Jesus died without speaking that He will come back to life, he would have been surprised. Jesus did not just resurrect because the Holy Ghost came to resurrect Him, He sent a word into His third day to wait for Him there. Church Gist. Don’t enter into a day that you have not spoken into. The Bible says, this is the day, the Lord has made and the Bible already tell you how God makes things (Genesis 1). That means, there should not be anything in that day. If the Lord made the day, anything He made in Genesis 1 was good but the Bible lets us know that satan also stands at the corridor of every new day and wait to be able to sow all kinds of things. This is the year to declare.
When you get up in the morning, train yourself to stop all these complaining and lamentations. Make up your mind that you are going to speak the Word of God. Don’t be silent. January can become the same as last year’s own if you keep quiet. Just because a prophetic word is before you does not mean anything will change. You have to engage it with understanding. When God gave this Word, I took it as a personal word for myself first, flogged it out with destiny before coming out here. “I don’t know what to do” but start by speaking. It is in speaking that direction comes.
I came here to charge you. We are going to pray. There is more than sufficient grace. My dear people, let me admit to you truly. I know many of you have heard many prophetic words about 2022, don’t think those prophetic words are a lie, most of them are true. However, let me show you something; I have taught you here that the prophecy of scripture sustains a unique ability to veto and redefines the believer’s reality. Church Gist. When you keep quiet, you will become a victim. Like never before, one of the things I know satan wants to do is to disgrace believers and make it look like, we have been believing a lie. Satan wants to see that believers are weary.
We are going to take a few minutes to pray these things into our lives. This year, from a human standpoint, I know the things I’ve seen. This year comes with a lot of challenges, peculiar challenges but the Bible says, a thousand shall fall by thy side and ten thousand by your right side, but none shall hurt you. You shall stand and behold the reward of the wicked. The first prayer tonight is to exempt yourself and then, as a responsible ambassador of the Kingdom, to begin to contribute your quota of intercession and spiritual investment over the territory.
PRAYER:
- Thank the Lord for the Word you have heard.
- Declare that this year is my year of Marvelous light, supernatural insight into the mysteries of the Kingdom, understanding of the ways of God, the administration of the life and the power of God within my heart and within my body, direction by the Spirit.

- We pray for Abuja (FCT), we pray for Nigeria and Africa, we declare peace, progress, we declare safety and security of live and properties. We pray for the government and all those who play different roles in this Nation, we declare wisdom upon them!
- We pray over the East, the West, North, South. Preserve Your people oh God. Let the covenant of David, that covenant of mercy speaks across the six geopolitical zones in this Nation. We extend our prayer to the continent of Africa in the name that is above all names. Preserve Your elect, preserve Your people even in this season!
