*Our Greatest Problems in life are Spiritual
It is Grace that makes Great

• Make today a day of specific demands of the grace of God.
• You need the fuel of multi-faceted grace in your life to maintain a quality walk with God.
• With higher grace coming, you are scaling higher heights.

ENGAGING THE WONDERS OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS ON THE PRAYER ALTAR
We serve a definitive God, He does not speak in dark speeches, He has not spoken in the secret place of the earth, neither has He has asked the seed of Jacob to seek Him in vain. His Words are plain. He wants us to be specific on the prayer altar, on our demands. We have seen that over and again from scriptures this week
“Give me a man child”, Hannah cried and God didn’t give her a girl-child, He gave her a man child (1 Samuel 1:11)
“That I may receive my sight”, – okay, have your sight.
Ezra 8:23
Judah under Jehoshaphat prayed, “will thou not judge them for we have no power nor might against these people” and God stood up and judged their enemies.
We are called to be specific in our prayer lives, make specific demands (Ephesians 3:20, John 16:24). He has more than enough in stock that there is no asking that can exhaust it. It’s just like the waters in the ocean, you can’t drain that, because He supplies the abundance of the sea. You can’t dry the waters in the ocean by any human effort.
Let’s make specific demands, it is what makes our time on the prayer altar most profitable.
Bartimaeus almost lost his throat crying, “have mercy, have mercy” (Mark 10:47).
He said, “what exactly do you want, which mercy do you want?” I want to receive my sight.
Jesus: You would have said that.
The last few hours remaining, whatever has not been specific in your demands, please make it specific. He is waiting to hear very clear sound from you and He will answer you accordingly.
The Apostles of Christ demanded for signs and wonders and it was granted them (Acts 4:29-33; Acts 5:12,14-16). They make specific demands and God delivered specific answers.

• 

Make it because after this spiritual seed comes a spiritual harvest and you will be ticking those things one after the other. He always appoints weeks of harvest after a planting season like this.

• For weeks to come, you will be ticking each of them one by one.
• Many have been ticking items on their prayer items this time because we serve a prayer answering God.
  Let’s be specific in the name of Jesus Christ. That’s how they got there.

The Church prayed for Peter’s release from the prison and God sent an angel to rescue him. Prayer was made by the Church for his release; God answered and supernaturally released Peter from the will of the wicked. When the Church prays specific prayers, God answers openly.

• That will be your experience, as we round up this Prayer and Fasting time, your specifics shall be delivered openly in the name of Jesus Christ.
  We must continue to engage in specific terms on the prayer altar.
  Let me show a few things that will help because it is not enough to be spiritual for 21 days and go casual in the remaining days of the year.
  There are 365 days or 366 days (in a leap year) and you are only spiritual for 21 days, it is a risk and it is true.
  Many are only on key in a fast, when the fast is over: Bye Bye.
  They just came to collect bread and it is a risk.
  Let’s call for grace specifically in areas of our need (Hebrews 4:16).
  I’ve said it over and again, people are in need mostly because they don’t know what they need. Our greatest needs are spiritual needs. When you are spiritually on key, you are supernaturally in command.

1. Why don’t you ask God for grace to love Him more and more.
   “Lord, I desire grace to love You more and more than ever all through this year. Grace to maintain a high temperature love for You.” You can’t have a heart for God and be stranded in life (1 Corinthians 2:9).
   “Grace to love You more and more than ever in my life, I desire it in my life this year” – you have solved too many problems than asking for bread and butter. This last moment, focus on spiritual specifics and watch the wonder that will come on your life.
2. Why don’t you ask grace for delightsome obedience as your new way of life, that obeying God and His instructions, as He communicates them to you in your private devotion, in your meditations and in the services that you come into.
   Grace for delightsome obedience (Psalm 112:1-3). Not dragging, there are many people that are just dragging, “okay, let’s go. They say we should go, okay let’s go. We are going, we went through last year.”

• Grace for delightsome, excited obedience. Grace for tension free obedience.

A man can’t receive nothing except you give him from above. You can’t just be looking for grace, you demand for grace (Hebrews 4:16). Our greatest problems in life are spiritual, when spiritual problems are dealt with, you are just naturally, sweatlessly in command of the affairs of life.

• Grace for delightsome obedience, receive in the name of Jesus.
  I am telling you spiritual packages that will sustain you throughout the year. Not that, “thank God, 21 days are over, until next year again.” If nothing colourful is added to your life this year, you have a BIG QUESTION MARK on your life. Please take that from here. God is not partial, so your dragging, ups and downs is not of God.

1. Grace for sustainable zeal for the Lord. He left us an example that we should follow in His steps. The zeal of the House of God consumed Christ throughout His earthly ministry.
   Elijah: He was a zeal for God made man (1 Kings 19:10, 14). See where passion put him; Elijah went to Heaven the same way Jesus went to Heaven. Elisha saw him going, that was the first space machine that the earth ever knew, the zeal of the God gave him his place both in life and in eternity.

• 

• Grace to remain tirelessly zealous for God all through the year: demand for it. Don’t wait to see it and you start dragging. By February, nobody can tell whether you were part of the 21 days of prayers and fasting. By March, the effect is gone. Because what keeps it on is out of place. No matter how hard you push a car, if it has no fuel it won’t move.
  You need the fuel of multi-faceted grace in your life to keep your walk with God. To maintain a quality walk with God.

1. Grace for tireless labour in advancing the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:10). We need grace for tireless labour in advancing the Kingdom of God.
   Demand for it, don’t wish: make demands for it. It’s all of grace.
   By grace, we will be 40 years this May, in this Ministry. I have not lost one ounce of energy or passion in my pursuit of God, you should know it.
   It is all of grace, it is not expertise, it is not strength. It is all of grace. Demand for grace for tireless labour in advancing the Kingdom of God at the level where you are.
   Don’t look like doing it, do it. Glory to God.
   When I said specifics: it is not, “I want to buy Camry…” Well, that is okay.
   “I want to buy a Jeep, American spec, Japanese spec”: Those are all bread and butter stuff, when you get these things (spiritual), you are in command of those things (material); you are not thinking them, you are not…you have outgrown that.

• God will surprise you this year. With this multi-faceted grace at work in your life, God will surprise you this year.

Have we prayed now for money? Oh God, give us money in this Ministry, we are going to build these rural churches. Did we pray for that last year? No! Yet we are not stealing, we are not begging.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, all these things that are in my agenda will be executed without any sweat from you. I will do it, just do what I say; leave the remaining to Me (Matthew 6:33).

• God will surprise you this year.
• Your cheapest projects will be executed this year. They will be far greater than all you ever did but they will be executed without sweat in the name of Jesus.

1. Grace for Kingdom Advancement prayers as a priority in your prayer life (Matthew 6:10)
   Thy Kingdom come, thy Kingdom first. Thy will to see all men saved; thy will to see no one perishes but that they all come to repentance come; thy will to see souls saved and abide in your Kingdom come.

• Grace to make Kingdom Advancement prayer as a priority of your prayer life, receive it now.
  What happens? That guarantees access to the realm of open rewards. Daniel was praying 3 times a day, the king bowed down and worshipped a captive (Daniel 6:10). The greatest of the earth, that was the king of Babylon, bowed down and worshipped a teenager (Daniel 2:46).
• Kingdom Advancement prayers supernaturally facilitates open rewards (Matthew 6:6)
  After teaching them on prayers, he said, “when you fast, don’t pose to men as if you are fasting.” (Matthew 6:17-18). He answers your requests, He rewards your service. We are talking about Prayer service. Anna was serving the Lord in prayers and fasting, praying Kingdom Advancement prayers (Luke 2:37).
  It is amazing, just understand that our spiritual needs are what covers our other needs.
• When your spiritual needs are met, you are in command of other needs of life.
  To be spiritually minded is life and peace. To be carnally minded is death (Romans 8:6).
  To be spiritually minded is life and peace; that’s your portion in this Turnaround Year!!!

I will like you to specifically focus on these multi-faceted grace available to us on the prayer altar (James 4:2). Ask then you won’t struggle.

6. Grace for tireless giving life (2 Corinthians 8:1-4,7). Giving becomes sweatless when the giving grace is upon your life.
   Sir, nobody will prosper without being a giver, so why don’t you get that grace?

• Grace to be an addict of promoting the Kingdom of God in your giving life.
• Grace to have Kingdom dreams as God blesses you, receive it.
• No matter the heat on this earth, you will never be touched.
  We serve a Covenant Keeping God not a Covenant breaking God. Sir, it doesn’t matter what happens on this earth, this Church can’t go down; this Church can never go down.
  We had hundreds of millions sowed into people’s lives during the COVID-19 lockdown. We serviced 14 other nations outside here, we can’t go down. We are just naturally in the covenant, it’s just part of us, we are not struggling, we are not sweating but it takes grace.
• Grace to be a tireless giver, a tireless Kingdom promoter with the resources He gave you.
  David gave out of his private treasure, not kingdom treasure. He said, “it is out of what you gave us, we gave back to you and I want to let you know God, it is in your hand to make great.” (1 Chronicles 29:3).
• He (God) makes givers great. He makes genuine givers great, no matter where they live because there is no difference in the sight of God between the white and the black, between the West and the South, the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
  We are not in the West but we are supernaturally prosperous as a Commission. We are enjoying the jewels of Heaven via consistent, tireless covenant practice.
  Many people in this Church, all over the world are swimming in it. Many sons of the prophet who are connected to this grace are swimming in it.
• You must earn a new name this year.
• You are not down because you are in a country that is down: No! You are down because you are down in your walk with God. But no more.
  What happened is that we have not noticed that we need grace to line up with the Word of God, so we don’t call for it and we don’t have it.
• When you discover other areas where you need the grace of God, make today a day of specific demands of the grace of God.
• Grace to be all out for you this year in soul winning, I receive it. I don’t want any barren week this year, help me Jesus.
  One day I stood and said, “Jesus, give me 1,000 souls this week”: I’ve never heard it before but He did.
  Kingdom Advancement prayers, He will jump at it anytime you call for it because you are now entering into partnership with Him. Something must break loose in your life this year. Go down to your specifics in your Kingdom Advancement practice: soul winning, ensuring that souls are established in the faith. These are the things that endears you to God and puts you in command over the affairs of life.
• Somebody’s story is changing, being a member of the Church for 50 years won’t make a difference but partnership with Christ for one year will make a world of difference.
• May this year be your Isaac order of year where your spiritual seed will grow and bring forth fruits and will turn you to the envy of your world (Genesis 26:12-14).
• This is that year for you. God will turn you to the envy of your mockers this year.

It is all of grace and grace is demanded on the altar of prayer. Spirituality is profitable unto all things (1 Timothy 4:8)

• It is your turn!!!
  I woke up this morning after a few moments of rest and I saw that a huge gap in the lives of people for not asking for the grace they needed. Make demand for it and God will lavish it on you.

Isaiah 8:20
Testimony: Supernatural Breakthrough

In the beginning of 2020, I wrote a vision board of what I wanted God to do for me: it included a new job, funding for my non-profit organisation, my husband’s promotion amongst others. However while I was praying on them, the Holy Spirit instructed me to change it from a personal vision board to a Kingdom vision board. Then I did and wrote down the following:

• Complete my 10 souls for Christ.
• Increase my Kingdom advancement budget to 35 percent of my salary.
• Pay my corporate tithes for the NGO I co-founded.
• Buy a bus for the Church.
• Engage in a fast for 12 days every month towards the delivery of the 2020 Church planting mandate.
• Build a rural Church for Christ through Mission Adoption Scheme.
  When I saw what I listed, it caused me to sweat. However, I began in January and God responded.
  God helped towards the delivery of 10 souls for Christ.
  In March, after we paid our corporate tithes, the NGO received $43,000 for a project we never applied for.
  In June, at my place of work, I got a promotion to lead 7 countries in Africa.
  In September, I got a quantum leap job beyond my expectations and this gives me the opportunity to lead global initiatives. This job comes with palm sweating salary, thereby enabling me to conveniently build a rural church with just my one-month salary. That same month, my husband got his promotion with a mouth-watering salary increase. Indeed, it is my Year of Release, Breaking Limits and Enthronement. I am so humbled and grateful. Serving God truly pays and Matthew 6:33 is the code that answers with wonders. I return all the glory to God.
  Testifier: Nkechi Coker

This is my little daughter, I’m not sure she is 30. Nothing matters to God but your heart. Maybe up till this morning, many people here don’t have any Kingdom vision for the year but something has changed this morning. That is where all your other needs are met. All those things lined up had nothing in it that I am looking for but God I want the following things happen by your grace in my life.

• This will be a Year of Humbling Testimonies in your life
• Grace to love Him more and more than ever before in your life; receive it now.
• Grace for tireless labour in advancing the Kingdom of God, at our various levels; receive it now.
• Grace to make Kingdom Advancement prayer your real priority in your prayer life; receive it now.
• Grace for unquenchable passion, unquenchable zeal for the House of your God; receive it now.
• Grace for delightsome obedience to every instruction of the Lord to you in your private devotions, in the Church services, in the Fellowship meetings, in your meditations; receive it now.
• Grace for tireless covenant practice in giving; receive it now in the name of Jesus.
  Many have problems with 10 percent tithe, somebody is doing 35 percent of her income to God; why won’t there be a difference. Nobody lacks what he gives, we only lack what we keep. The liberal shall be made fat…(Proverbs 11:24).
• Every closed area of your destiny opens up by this grace, this year.
• Nothing goes down in your life anymore.
• No down time in your spiritual life this year.
• You will be surprised that the fire burning in you now will only be burning hotter all through the year. That fire will never go off.
• Nobody will ever need to coerce you to serve God.
• Serving God will become your new way of life.
• Grace to work in the covenant of Matthew 6:33, as your new lifestyle, in truth and in deed, receive that grace now. In the name of Jesus and so shall it be.

Something has opened up for the day, something has opened up for the year. Get back to your various places and just key into this diverse grace that has been unveiled to you today and whatever the Lord does shall be forever. As this grace drops on your life, they shall remain there forever.
It is grace that makes great, not strength, not skill: there are highly skilled people that don’t have any air of greatness around their lives. There are many strong people that don’t have an identity, it is grace that makes great.
May this multi-faceted grace that was opened to us this morning change everybody’s story supernaturally, including your story.

• Wherever you may be right now, God is taking you to higher places.
• With higher grace coming, you are scaling higher heights.

Give God thanks for the release of grace upon your life.
SPEAK TO THE DAY TO OPEN UP
We have only 2 days to go: Today and Tomorrow. Speak to the day to open up. Speak new fire on your prayer altar. Now you know what to demand for, go down specific, go down and be specific on your prayer altar. Refuse to be an onlooker, be a bona fide partaker of the supernatural package that God has ordained for you this year.

• 

• Open up to me. I am all out today, to tap into the grace required for this time.
  Pray: that anyone you say, “come” to tomorrow’s service will respond.
  “Lord, let your grace upon my life make it happen that anyone I say, ‘come to service tomorrow’ will show up. Anyone I invite will show up: my new converts, my old converts; anyone I say ‘come’ to must appear.”
• Your own all-round rest package will be delivered.

By May, we will be 40, we have enjoyed rest all through. We have enjoyed all round rest all the way. You know what it means for the Church to have a case, you are not aware and you are the leader. All-round rest. We have never lost a case: foreign field, home field.
(If) we have 20 cases, I am still going for outreach. Do you know any lawyer? I don’t. You give bribe on our behalf, you die, we don’t!

• God will give you rest. Tomorrow you are returning with your full package of all-round rest. Rest over your children, rest over your career, rest over your business, rest over your health.

Celebrate God for this awesome opportunity to be part of these 21 days of prayers and fasting.
