Message
I don’t want to frighten you by what you are going to read in today’s devotional. The truth is that there are strange battles in life. There are strange occurrences. There was a fellow who came to see me one day. It was a strange mysterious battle that brought him. The man looked very normal, handsome and very easy to talk with. He spoke impeccable Queen’s English.
He was fond of slapping himself on the head and when he did he would bring out a cockroach, squeeze the cockroach, kill it and throw it on the ground. He waited for me for about 15 minutes, and by the time I came out, there were dead cockroaches all over the floor. When people who also came to see the G.O. saw the dead cockroaches, they disappeared and could no longer wait to see the G.O. Not only did he look like a gentleman, he was also very educated. In fact, he had a Ph.D degree in accounting owned a house and had a fine car, but also a mysterious battle to fight. So he came for prayers. This was what brought him to see me. Though, his battle was mysterious, God solved it.
The Book of Job tells us that, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.” The trouble can be deadly. It can be deep. There are battles and there are battles. There are some battles that will confuse and mesmerise even the prophet. There are certain battles whose origins are unknown and which are accompanied with strange problems.
There are battles that defy explanation. When you have battles that cannot be explained, you need a great deal of prayers. That is why I have always declared that strange problems require strange prayers. You must learn how to tackle problems from the root.
Motivational Quote
The quality of your dreams will determine the quality of your destiny.
Prophetic Word
Anything that the enemy’s bringing to challenge you, let the power of God break the challenge into pieces in Jesus name.
HYMN – Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us, brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.
