I AM SET FOR ENCOUNTERS WITH POWER -
Psalm 63:1-3
From Glory to Glory greetings in Jesus'
name.
I believe by our encounter with the great
physician, the health of every winner has
been fully restored in the course of the
month of July and to God be all the glory.
However, because whatever the Lord does
shall be forever, every one of us shall
continue to experience a sickness-free life
from henceforth in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen.
But what is the Holy Ghost saying for the
month of August 2016?
As I have often said, "no divine agenda can
be delivered in the energy of the flesh."
We also understand that every divine
purpose can only be accomplished by the
operation of Spirit of the Lord’ – Zech. 4:1-6
Therefore, the prophetic four-quantum leap
order of testimonies ordained for this year,
both for us as a church and as individuals
will definitely require the engagement of the
ministry of the Holy Ghost for full delivery.
In the light of the above, we shall be
examining the person, mission and
operations of the Holy Spirit towards the full
delivery of the prophetic agenda for the
year.
Furthermore, we must recognize that:
▪ Encounters with power primarily requires
a crave for empowerment – Jn. 7:37-39/ Ps.
63:1-3
▪ The mission of the Holy Ghost among
others, is to empower believers to
command exploits
- Is. 45:1-3/ Is. 61:3-7
▪ But it is not enough to be filled with the
Holy Spirit; we must continue to be refilled,
so we can remain battle
ready – Acts 2:1-4/ Acts 4:30-33
▪ We must continue to crave for the new
wine and seek after the fresh oil for ever
growing impact
- Lk. 5:38-39/ Ps. 92:10-15
▪ However, a life style of prayer and fasting
is a requirement for continuous change of
levels in the school of
power - Lk. 11:13/ Ps. 63:1-3/Is. 44:3-4/
Matt. 6:6/17-18/ Matt. 17:21
Therefore, the prophetic focus for the
month of AUGUST 2016 is:
I AM SET FOR ENCOUNTERS WITH POWER -
Psalm 63:1-3
I strongly believe that every area of
concerns around our lives as individuals
shall be turned into testimonies by the
power of the Holy Ghost this month. It shall
indeed be a turnaround month for every
Winner in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Recommended books of the month
include:
→ Anointing for Breakthrough
→ Anointing for Exploits
→ Understanding the Anointing
→ The Release of Power
Remain ever blessed.
Jesus is Lord!

IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD?
Matthew 9:12-13. Jesus himself as the great physician. He has been revealing his prescriptions to us this month. Today we are looking at a prescription for our health and well being - joy and rejoicing.
Joy and rejoicing.
Every instruction of God is key to every desire of man. There is no short cut to the provisions of God. There is always a pattern in the word. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10.
What is in the joy of the Lord that heals?
1. Joy carries medicinal attributes.
Proverbs 17:22. 18:14. Joy naturally releases strength into the body. Sickness is always depicted by a sad countenance. You are healthy because you are happy. Joy injects life into our body.
2 Corinthians 5:4. Mortality or weaknesses is swallowed up as joy injects life into us when we keep rejoicing. Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit.
2. Joy carries the presence of God. Psalms 16:11. The presence of God is drawn by joy. Psalms 68:25. The movement of joy results in the movement of God. When you joy comes the Lord comes in his glory and the enemy departs.
God has said if you return to me l will return to you and the enemy will have to depart.
2. Isaiah 64:1. The arrival of God dissolves the mountains of depression. Jeremiah 32:27. What men call complexities are simplicities to God. When you look up to God you will see how small your challenges are. Your Liberty is sure.
If you refuse to give up the devil will give up.
The first thing the enemy attacks is your joy. Whatever is said to you that is a negative diagnosis is only an advert of the devil and not yours until you acknowledge and accept it. Don't confirm it with your emotions and countenance. Go rejoicing and be blessed. As you go on rejoicing you will go conquering. Joy is the trade mark of the conqueror. Your disposition must be one of joy.
3. Joy carries strength. Joy attracts divine presence for in his presence there is joy. Psalm 84:7.
4. Access to revelation. With joy you draw water out of the wells of salvation. Joy is the access to the waters of scriptures. Joy is your pathway to revelation. Come to the word with joy and you will receive revelation. Any man in revelation is a man in command. Your light will shine in darkness and darkness will not be able to overwhelm it.
How to receive Joy
1. Redemption. Psalm 51:11. Whenever a man encounters Christ there is encounter with real joy. This is not the same as happiness that comes from acquiring things which is limited. The only source of lasting joy is Christ.
2. Holy Ghost. Psalm 45:6-7. The anointing of gladness comes from the Holy Spirit
3. Revelation of the word. Jeremiah 15:16.
Your joy is a product of your light.

GOSH! Man Kills His 2 Sisters On Their Wedding Eve For The Sickest Reason Ever
A wedding eve which was supposed to be fun turned tragic for two brides after their brother murdered them in cold blood for the sickest reason ever.
The incident happened on Friday, July 29, 2016 in Pakistan’s central Punjab province.
Police revealed on Saturday, July 30, 2016 that Kosar and Gulzar Bibi, aged 22 and 28, were shot dead by 35-year-old brother Nasir Hussain as they prepared to marry men they had chosen themselves.
Senior police officer Mehar Riaz told AFP that Hussain objected to the love matches and had wanted the women to marry someone within the extended family.
“The brother shot dead both the sisters yesterday and fled the site,” the officer said, adding that a search was underway.
“It is a simple case of killing for honour,” he said. Father of the family Atta Mohammad told reporters that Hussain had “destroyed everything”.
“He ruined my family, he destroyed us, he destroyed everything” Mohammad said.
The murders came days after social media starlet Qandeel Baloch was strangled to death by her brother who said he was “not embarrassed” to have killed her, reigniting calls for action against the crime.
Hundreds of women are murdered by relatives in the conservative Muslim nation each year on the pretext of defending what is seen as family honour.
Pakistan’s law minister this month announced that bills aimed at tackling “honour killings” and boosting rape convictions would soon be voted on by parliament, after mounting pressure to tackle a pattern of crime that claims around 1,000 lives a year.
More annoying is the fact that the perpetrators of so-called honour killings in which the victim, normally a woman, is killed by a relative, often walk free because they can seek forgiveness for the crime from another family member.

Another Nationwide Strike? NLC Threatens To Down Tools If This Happen
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to embark on strike if governors in various states divert the Budget Support Funds recently released by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Reports revealed that the bailout released by President Buhari last year was not judiciously used by the state governors as many of them refused to pay workers salaries from the bailout.
As at June 30th 2016, no fewer than 27 states of the federation owe workers salaries ranging from two to seven months.
The workers, who spoke with PUNCH through their leaders in the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, threatened to embark on a strike if the recently released money was not used to pay their outstanding salaries.
In Imo state, the Chairman of the state chapter of the National Union of Local Government Employees, Mr. Ambrose Onuoha, said that workers were experiencing hardship as could not afford good food, and were unable to afford health care services or buy drugs , among other responsibilities.
Onuoha confirmed that many workers had died since the salaries had stopped but refused to disclose the exact figure of the casualties.
Chairman Imo state council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Austin Chilakpu, while speaking with Punch said; “Our stand now is that workers should be paid 100 per cent of their salary as at when due. The organised labour in the state is planning a showdown with the state government if it tries in any way to divert the fund, like it happened before.”
In Nasarawa state, NLC chairman, Abdullahi Adeka, said; “We are not concerned about whether the state government would execute any capital project or not. What we are asking the state government for is to pay us our salaries. We are demanding our annual increments and our promotions”
Benue state NLC Chairman, Godwin Anya, advised the state government to use the Budget Support Funds for the payment of the six months’ salaries it was owing civil servants.
Anya noted that only one month out of the six months salaries had been paid. He warned that the workers would not hesitate to protest if the balance was not paid.
He said, “Workers in the state have waited patiently for six months and would not hesitate to frown at any attempt to deny them what is due them.”
Labour leaders from Cross River, Plateau, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun Kwara also disclosed they that will not hesitate to embark on strike should their state governor refuse to pay outstanding salary arrears from the recent bailout fund.

Stephen Keshi’s Son Expresses Disappointment Over FG’s Unfulfilled Promises To Honor His Father
“I sat in front of the federal government on national
television a few weeks ago and they promised they would
honor pops the way he deserves.
They said that he has done too much for the country for
them not to. They made us change dates to fit the federal
governments schedule. But they didn’t do as promised, we
aren’t mad, nor sad, just disappointed, they should be
ashamed of themselves.
This sends a terrible message to our youth that are
striving to do great things for Nigeria. The good thing is
that We was raised not to ask for handouts.
There will be no more postponements, today the funeral
ceremonies began in Benin, the place he loved, where his
career started.
My sisters, brother and I held it down, with the help of a
few others, and now we are putting our pops to rest. We
don’t owe anyone shit and we can say they owe pops
everything.
No salt, it is not the people’s fault, we still love Nigeria as
pops did” he said

It’s Getting Crazy! Desperate Arsenal Fan Chases Down Wenger Begging Him To Sign Leicester City Midfielder
Ahead of the new English Premier League season, a desperate Arsenal fan was reported to have chased down Arsene Wenger begging him to sign Leicester City Midfielder, Riyad Mahrez.
Arsenal manage, Arsene Wenger is famous for being frugal in the transfer window but has been linked with a £37million move for last season’s Premier League layer of the season.
Leicester city have already lost midfielder, N’Golo Kante to Chelsea this summer and they will be desperate not to lose any more of their first-team stars.
The Gunners were also interested in England striker Jamie Vardy but he snubbed them and signed a new long-term deal at the King Power stadium.
Brilliant midfielder, Mahrez, scored 17 league goals as his side stunned the world to win last season’s title at crazy odds of 5000/1.
And he collected the PFA Player of the Year with the nation’s players recognising his contribution to the Hollywood blockbuster story.
Mahrez’s attacking prowess, small frame and versatility to be able to play anywhere in attack make the 25-year-old an archetypal Wenger signing.
But his hefty price tag might put off the famously thrifty Gunners boss who usually prefers to unearth cheaper talents.

LISTEN UP! These 5 Things Could Be Standing Between You and Your First Million
You could have been a millionaire already but certain things you do unknowingly could be limiting you.
We found them out! Yes we did.
The rate at which technology improves daily has made the quest even easier.
Lack of real awareness and consistent study of the right information, mixed with inconsistent execution and implementation limits most people from hitting their first six figures.
Below are 5 mistakes you are probably making that is standing between you and your first one million according to Entrepreneur:
1.MOST FOCUS ON PERFECTION NOT EXPERIMENTS.
Seeking perfection has lost me more than $100,000 the last couple years. By the time a millionaire has tried and tested eight different experiments without focusing on perfection, most people haven’t even gone to market yet. Maybe only two of their experiments worked and were deemed profitable. The point is they weren’t paralyzed by perfection, but were driven by testing.
Test all your crazy ideas. No matter how crazy they sound, try them out. Find out which ones work, then optimize how effective they are. Test all variations of that idea. Find out which variation works best. Ideas are nothing until executed and proven.
2. FEW THOROUGHLY THINK THINGS THROUGH.
“The more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in war”
One of the biggest missed opportunities for entrepreneurs is not preparing for, or pre-determining what, they want. Truly productive people know the result they are after and maintain acute clarity on it. Armed with this awareness, they reverse engineer this big goal into a series of small and actionable steps that they then put into a one or two page plan of execution. Strategically thinking through your future will prevent mistakes, while increasing your ability to predict. When you’re intentional in all you do, you mitigate against risk and can make more educated decisions.
Plan your long-term strategies before you plan your tactics. Strategy shows where you plan on going, who you want to be and what types of clients you want to attract. Tactics show how to get all of your strategy accomplished. You don't have a real strategy if it doesn't pass these two tests: that what you're planning to do really matters to your existing and potential customers; and second, it differentiates you from your competition.
3. MOST NEVER LEARN INTELLIGENT DELEGATION.
Getting others to do something as well or better than yourself is one of the hardest aspects of leadership, but necessary if you're going to grow the business past the six-figure mark. Before you strategically delegate and build a team you must understand who you are, and what’s most important to you. Once you determine your most important values, put them into writing and operationalize them into company standards. Consistently systemize and internalize those values.
Your team must be value based. If somebody can do something 80 percent as well as you, they should be doing it. When you delegate a task, make sure the person you’ve hired has clear and defined roles. Most entrepreneurs hire very fast, but fire very slow. It should be the opposite. Hire slow, fire fast.
4. MOST ARE MAKING THE WRONG TRADES.
Millionaires realize they will never become wealthy trading time for money. It’s OK for awhile when you start, but at some point you have to focus on scaling and leverage. You're fighting an uphill battle if you’re trying to make seven figures trading time for money. You won’t get to seven figures only doing more of made you six figures.
Focus on the power of leverage and how to create consistent income without trading time for money. There are many possibilities -- investment properties, membership sites, angel investing, building an online empire, partnerships, affiliate marketing, different types of programs, etc. Take some time to really analyze if you're maximizing your time. If you are trading time for money, make 100 percent sure it's an intelligent trade. If you want to make more money, become more valuable. It's as simple as that. Entrepreneurs who understand the power of leveraging and scaling their businesses become millionaires by bringing more value to the marketplace than their competitors.
5. MOST ARE EGO FOCUSED INSTEAD OF CUSTOMER CENTRIC
“How do we decide what’s really important to work on? I like to call it the ‘toothbrush test’: do our customers use it as often as you use your toothbrush? I guess that’s twice a day. We use Gmail and YouTube much more than twice a day. Those things are amazing.”
— Larry Page, CEO Google
People care about what your business can do for them. Most entrepreneurs try to sell their experience and expertise. They believe that people want to pay them for what they know, but people don’t. They want to buy a solution or outcome to their problems and desires. They want results. They want to solve their problem and reduce whatever suffering they are going through. They don’t care about you.
Do you really understand at a deep level what your customers want? Those at the seven-figure mark have a monomaniacal focus on this. You must realize that the likelihood of the marketplace responding because you want something is non-existant. It's about them, not you. Your customers are marketing geniuses, so make sure you do your due diligence. Find ways to survey them, or talk to them about their needs, wants, desires, passions, concerns etc. Customers want a fun and personal journey through all points of engagement. Do you deliever?
I’ve had several opportunities to get inside the minds of the richest people on the planet. There are timeless lessons we can learn from. A simple statement, quote or perspective shift can change the game for you. Become aware of what’s holding you back from elevating your business to the next level. Adjust your thinking, actions and strategy in accordance to your new vision.
Lastly, execute flawlessly on tactics above and make sure you’re in it for the long haul. I’m confident that by doing these things you’ll soon see your prospects for a seven-figure business become clearer than they ever have.

Plan your long-term strategies before you plan your tactics. Strategy shows where you plan on going, who you want to be and what types of clients you want to attract. Tactics show how to get all of your strategy accomplished. You don't have a real strategy if it doesn't pass these two tests: that what you're planning to do really matters to your existing and potential customers; and second, it differentiates you from your competition.
3. MOST NEVER LEARN INTELLIGENT DELEGATION.
Getting others to do something as well or better than yourself is one of the hardest aspects of leadership, but necessary if you're going to grow the business past the six-figure mark. Before you strategically delegate and build a team you must understand who you are, and what’s most important to you. Once you determine your most important values, put them into writing and operationalize them into company standards. Consistently systemize and internalize those values.
Your team must be value based. If somebody can do something 80 percent as well as you, they should be doing it. When you delegate a task, make sure the person you’ve hired has clear and defined roles. Most entrepreneurs hire very fast, but fire very slow. It should be the opposite. Hire slow, fire fast.
4. MOST ARE MAKING THE WRONG TRADES.
Millionaires realize they will never become wealthy trading time for money. It’s OK for awhile when you start, but at some point you have to focus on scaling and leverage. You're fighting an uphill battle if you’re trying to make seven figures trading time for money. You won’t get to seven figures only doing more of made you six figures.
Focus on the power of leverage and how to create consistent income without trading time for money. There are many possibilities -- investment properties, membership sites, angel investing, building an online empire, partnerships, affiliate marketing, different types of programs, etc. Take some time to really analyze if you're maximizing your time. If you are trading time for money, make 100 percent sure it's an intelligent trade. If you want to make more money, become more valuable. It's as simple as that. Entrepreneurs who understand the power of leveraging and scaling their businesses become millionaires by bringing more value to the marketplace than their competitors.
5. MOST ARE EGO FOCUSED INSTEAD OF CUSTOMER CENTRIC
“How do we decide what’s really important to work on? I like to call it the ‘toothbrush test’: do our customers use it as often as you use your toothbrush? I guess that’s twice a day. We use Gmail and YouTube much more than twice a day. Those things are amazing.”
— Larry Page, CEO Google
People care about what your business can do for them. Most entrepreneurs try to sell their experience and expertise. They believe that people want to pay them for what they know, but people don’t. They want to buy a solution or outcome to their problems and desires. They want results. They want to solve their problem and reduce whatever suffering they are going through. They don’t care about you.
Do you really understand at a deep level what your customers want? Those at the seven-figure mark have a monomaniacal focus on this. You must realize that the likelihood of the marketplace responding because you want something is non-existant. It's about them, not you. Your customers are marketing geniuses, so make sure you do your due diligence. Find ways to survey them, or talk to them about their needs, wants, desires, passions, concerns etc. Customers want a fun and personal journey through all points of engagement. Do you deliever?
I’ve had several opportunities to get inside the minds of the richest people on the planet. There are timeless lessons we can learn from. A simple statement, quote or perspective shift can change the game for you. Become aware of what’s holding you back from elevating your business to the next level. Adjust your thinking, actions and strategy in accordance to your new vision.
Lastly, execute flawlessly on tactics above and make sure you’re in it for the long haul. I’m confident that by doing these things you’ll soon see your prospects for a seven-figure business become clearer than they ever have.
