PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR AUGUST, 2016

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.
