THE CROSS, OUR VICTORY BANNER.

The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” He said this to indicate how he was going to die. John 12:31 – 33

“For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.” Psalms 103:11 – 12

Horses straining towards the fight, soldiers bravely brandishing their swords, and banners flying proudly in the wind – we can picture the battle scenes of old.

While the conflict raged and the ground was in question, no army hoisted its victory banner. But when one army vanquished another, when the enemy fell back in defeat, the conquering army planted its flag firmly in the ground. No longer in question, *the ground now belonged to the victor.*

Before we come to the cross, the ground of our soul is in question. Our eternal destiny is uncertain. Satan fights ferociously to capture and carry us to hell. *Jesus was lifted up on the cross, hoisted above the battle.* His death means certain victory for all who accept His invitation for life everlasting.

At the cross, *Jesus draws all people to Himself.* No one has ever been rejected or turned away. *Every single soul can find its home in Him.* Satan may attempt to torment, but he cannot overpower us. He may attack, but he will not destroy us. He may come at us from one direction, but he will flee from us on seven different routes (Deuteronomy 28:7).

Whose banner flies over the *soil of your soul?* Whose victory flag is planted in the *battleground of your heart?* Let there be no question Who reigns over your life.

LET’S PRAY.
Father we thank you for victory the Cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus. It represent our day of triumph, joy, and celebration. May you recognize that His banner over you is love and victory! May you always walk in victory, talk victory and live victoriously in Jesus glorious name. Today, I pray your case is Settled. No evil judgment shall keep you down, By Mercy your Glory is restored. Your destiny is Healed. The Earnest Expectations of your Enemies shall be disappointed. Your broken hope is renewed. By Mercy you’re taken over your Enemies Territory. Those Good things you’ve stretched your Spiritual and Physical Muscles to get and you couldn’t. Mercy shall bring them to you without Struggles. By Mercy you’re recovering without Limitation in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain!!!

HIS BLOOD, SHED ON THE CROSS.

“For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Colossians 1:19-20

*Only the blood of Jesus* – only the blood of His cross – reconciles us to the Father. *Only His blood makes peace between us and God.*

When the Nile River turned into blood in the first plague of Egypt, every stream ran red and the water in every vessel in every home turned to blood. *That blood did not save us.*

When Solomon dedicated the Temple, he sacrificed 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So much blood – *but those offerings could not wash away their sins.*

The Roman army surrounded Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The city was decimated, the Temple was destroyed, and over one million people, mostly Jews, were killed. *Their blood could not bring us into right relationship with God.*

*The only blood that can remove the stain of sin from our souls is the blood of the Lamb of God slain for the redemption of many.* With heaven and earth watching, Emmanuel bled His life away. From His head, His hands, His feet, His brow, and His side, *His blood poured out for each one of us.*

*Only His blood* bought our forgiveness, our hope, our future, and everlasting life.

LET’S PRAY.
Today, Praise Him whose blood bought your forgiveness and cleanses you from all unrighteousness. Serve Him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and body. He bled for you. I pray that the contradictions and difficulties of life shall not submerge you. You shall overcome life’s challenges. God shall move over your situation and announce your name for good. God will plunge you into realm of amazing testimonies. There shall be full restoration of life into everything you represent. You shall see God’s greatness even in difficult circumstances God the Comforter shall give you comfort and rest in all aspect of your life. Because He has you in His heart, you shall never be an abandon project in His hand in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain.

JESUS PAID A DEBT HE DID NOT OWE.

He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer. Proverbs 18:9

If we believe in something, we will bleed for it. We will sweat to succeed. *Sweat demonstrates effort and hard work.* Only in the dictionary does *success* precede *work!*

Today’s lead verse seeks to tell us that, the “great waster” is one who does not properly care for that which is entrusted to him.

In Luke 22:44, Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, and His sweat poured out like huge drops of blood. Why? *He believed in us, and He was working for us.* Jesus bore the burden of our humanity, and in that moment, He struggled mightily.

He accepted a weight with which we are too familiar. Jesus, Who had never known sin, became sin, so that we could be made right with God (II Corinthians 5:21). Our sin and shame rolled onto His shoulders, and He was separated from the Father – an agony that He had never experienced.

Hours before, He prayed of the beautiful unity that He and the Father shared. Hours later, He cried from the cross, *“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”* (Mark 15:34). He poured out His blood and sweat. He completed the work to pay a debt that He did not owe. Proving that He did not die from physical weakness, but that He purposely laid down His Own life. During this three hour period when darkness covered that of the world, if not the whole Earth, He bore the sin penalty of mankind, on which the Heavenly Father could not look.

Where are you investing your sweat? Are you about the Father’s business? We must energetically undertake the work that Jesus commanded: *to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.* Sweat comes before success.

LET’S PRAY.
This morning, l pray, May you commit to the Father’s business – to go and preach the Gospel and make disciples. May He bless the work of your hands and sweat of your brow!
May miracles, signs and wonders be the results of your willingness to sharing the Gospel in your community. May the Creator of heaven and earth show forth strong to confirm and affirm His Word to everyone who listen to the message of salvation in Jesus glorious name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

THE CROSS: OUR TREE OF TRIUMPH

“As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.” Galatians 6:14

At the top of Mountain Moriah, God used a tree as a tool of redemption for Isaac. At the final instant, as Abraham raised his knife in obedience to the Lord, God provided a sacrifice instead of Isaac – a ram caught in the thicket.

Centuries later, Jesus became the substitute for us all on the tree at Mount Calvary. The only begotten Son of God was nailed to the cross. This tree is why He knows us, why we are united in the family of God, that we can create a habitation of praise for our Father, that we can go boldly before the throne of grace to receive mercy. Jesus Christ paid the price on that cursed tree.

Today’s verse is telling us that, the only way we can overcome the world, and I mean the only way, is by placing our Faith exclusively in the Cross of Christ and keeping it there.

His blood reached us in our faraway, desperate state and pulled us near. Without the cross, no grace or mercy is extended, no salvation is available. Without the cross, we cannot be called sons and daughters of the Most High. Without the cross, we have no reason to rejoice.

Because of that cruel tree, we are grafted into every promise and covenant, sins washed away, lives made whole. We have a glorious future with the One Who loved us to the death. That cruel cross became our tree of triumph!

LET’S PRAY.
I join my faith to yours to Declare your triumph through the tree of Calvary in Jesus name. Rejoice that you are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves you! From today, all those looking for your downfall, shall wait in vain in the name of Jesus Christ. Everyone assigned by the demonic powers from darkness to destroy your dreams and future will not manifest in Jesus mighty name.
Those assigned from witchcraft and wizard camps to trouble you and your children, your God shall trouble them, they will not have peace and happiness in their household, any thing they lay their hands on, will not succeed in Jesus mighty name.
You shall see their destruction in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen!
STAY HOME, STAY SAFE

YOUR GRATITUDE WILL INVITE HIS PRESENCE, PROVISION, AND POWER INTO EVERY AREA OF BROKENNESS.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus shared the Passover meal with His disciples. There, He instituted the beautiful practice of communion which we still share thousands of years later.

That evening, as He stood in the very shadow of the cross, as He tore the bread that would forever symbolize His broken body, He gave thanks. Knowing that He was destined for the cross, He gave thanks.

He often expressed thanks throughout His earthly voyage. When he held up a boy’s meager lunch, He gave thanks as He broke the bread and divided the fish to feed more than 5000 people before collecting the leftovers.

As He wept outside the tomb of His dear friend, Lazarus, He paused to pray, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me” (John 11:41). Moments later, He called His dead friend back to the land of the living and into the arms of his grateful sisters.

The spirit of gratitude released the miracle-working power of God in each situation. Are you navigating a storm or trudging through a dark valley? Find a place of prayer, and offer thanks to God. Your gratitude will invite His presence, provision, and power into every area of brokenness.

Come into His presence with thanksgiving. May worship flow from your heart, for He is good and greatly to be praised.

LET’S PRAY
The Almighty God will never leave nor forsake you at anytime of your life because of the Cross. You will always enjoy the divine presence of God everyday, every time and everywhere in Jesus name!
God will give you laughter for the rest of your life because of the finished work on the Cross. Your portion at the top will not be occupied nor traded in Jesus name!
Those who have caused you troubles will go ahead of announcing the favour of God on your life by force like Herman in Jesus name! You shall recover all what the enemies have stolen from you and your children because of the finished work on the Cross in Jesus mighty name. Glory to God. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

THE POWER AND PRIVILEGE OF CHOICE.

“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods! Joshua 24:14 – 16

Joshua threw down the gauntlet to the children of Israel. “Serve the Lord!” he challenged (Joshua 24:14). But he made it clear… the choice was theirs to make.

Before they weighed in with their decision, Joshua reminded them of the God he served. He was the One Who parted the Red Sea so they could cross on dry ground – then swallowed the Egyptians in the briny deep. He protected and guided them in a column of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. When they were hungry, manna fell from heaven. When they were thirsty, water gushed from a rock. He caused the walls of Jericho to crumble before their victory cry.

How could it seem evil to elect that kind of Lord? But He gave them the privilege of choice.

That choice stands today. A reminder is in order. This is the God Who loved you so much that He sent His only Son to die in your place. The lashes that He took across His back set you free from the shackles of sickness. When you need provision, He opens up the windows of heaven to pour out a blessing that cannot be contained.

Whom will you serve? Make Him your choice! Choose love. Choose life!

LET’S PRAY.
l pray for you to choose to surrender to His purposes and walk in agreement with His Word. The Almighty God will remove every stain in your life, marriage, career and finance. Enemy that attack you shall receive disgrace and shame. May God of Israel judge those betray you. You shall live by new definition of God’s mercy and favour. Those who once loved you, but are now your enemies will love you deeper and better again. God will give you divine direction on any matter confusing you. Those against you without reason, shall bow before you in the name of Jesus Christ.
May your physical person rest under His Covenant covering for protection from Covid-19 and every other sickness for the Blood of Jesus is speaking sound health and better things about you in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

A TRUE FRIEND WILL CORRECT OUT OF LOVE.

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6

When Naaman could not hide his leprosy anymore, he confided directly in his boss, the king of Syria (II Kings 5).

The king was anxious at how Naaman’s revelation impacted himself. What if his enemies discovered that his star general was in a weakened condition and set out to attack them? When Naaman told his wife, she must have been frightened for the future. What would become of the comfortable life to which she was accustomed?

Today’s verse is tells us to shine our eyes in choice of people we have in life as friends. A love that says and does nothing is not as valuable as an affection that rebukes. A “friend” who will kindly tell you of your mistakes or faults is not destructive, but rather helpful [faithful]. Conversely, the one who flatters and “kisses,” proclaiming everything to be wonderful and well, when in reality, it is not, is said by God to be “deceitful” and therefore an enemy.

Gladly embrace the wise counsel of a trusted friend over the acquaintance who comforts with what-we-want-to-hear platitudes. A true friend will correct out of love; it may wound us in the short term but works for our greater good. The one who kisses and compliments may be motivated by a hidden agenda and has no concern for our welfare.

Seek out a trustworthy envoy who will pray and speak the truth of God – even if it stings – to bring about the healing that leads to forgiveness and life.

Acknowledge your sins and confess them to the Father. He is a Faithful Friend who forgives and cleanses you from all unrighteousness. He is the friend who sticks closer than a brother.

LET’S PRAY.
Be endowed with with wisdom from above in your choice of friends. In the name of JESUS Christ, I pray for you this morning, the power that stop your age mate, will not stop you in Jesus name, that power, that stop your father, will never stop you in Jesus name, the power that stop your mother will never and never stop you in JESUS mighty name, the power that stop youths of your time and exploit their life’s negatively will never stop you in JESUS mighty name, you shall be above and not beneath in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

JESUS HAS BOTH POSITION AND POWER.

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:11-14

When the king discovered that Naaman had come to Israel to be cured of leprosy, he was terrified. He had no ability to heal, and failure to do so meant war with Syria (II Kings 5). He had position but no power.

The prophet, Elisha, calmly invited Naaman to his home. Elisha had power that did not arise from wealth, might, or office. When he hit his knees, all of heaven moved on his behalf. Like Elisha, we hold the position and the power to change the world.

Each one of us faces impossible situations, unsolvable problems, and unanswerable questions. Without God’s intervention, we have no hope for change. But when we ask in Jesus’ name, all of the capability and authority of our Father come to bear on our circumstances.

In His mighty name, we can tear down every barrier that the enemy has built against God’s truth. With the Lord on our side, Satan may come at us in one way, but he will be scattered in seven different directions (Deuteronomy 28:7).

When we cry out from the position of humbled hearts and bended knees, there is nothing that God will not do for us! That is the power of prayer.

Boldly make your requests known to the God Who never fails. Know that your prayers are powerful and effective when you place your confidence in Him!


LET’S PRAY.
When Mercy speaks judgment will be cancelled, when mercy speaks attacks will stop, when mercy speak where there is no hope, hope will come alive, This morning I speak mercy into your life, let the doors of favour open for you. Because of mercy your days of sorrow comes to an end, joy shall fill your life today, by the mercy of God, you will flourish in your career, business and family in Jesus Name. The mercy of God will lead you to where your name will be honoured in Jesus mighty name, Amen, because of God mercy today your enemies will be far from you, in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen!

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL RECEIVE SALVATION.

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Romans 10:9-10

Jesue is so rare that no other like Him has ever existed. He is so reliable and ever faithful that, He has never disappointed one person who chose to trust in Him. He is so capable that nothing is impossible for Him. He is so good that, if you have not accepted Him as Savior, He is waiting with outstretched arms.

Today’s verse tells us how to become a child of God, to accept Him as Saviour. If you believe in your heart that Jesus exists, that He came to die on the cross to forgive your sins and that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Verse 9 means, Confess that Jesus is the Lord of Glory, and Saviour of men, and that He died on the Cross that we might be Saved. Believe in your heart (pertains to the Bodily Resurrection of Christ, as is obvious, you shall be Saved (it is that simple).

Verse 10 presents the word “believing” in a mode of “thinking” not of felling; the “believing” has to do with believing Christ, and that His Sacrifice of Himself Atone for all sin. The mouth confession is when Faith comes forth from its silence to announce itself and proclaim the Glory and the Grace of the Lord its voice “is confession”

You may think that this is an impossibility, but the Bible tells us that whoever believes in Him will not be lost, will not perish, but will find eternal life (John 3:15). Whoever believes… means that none are excluded from being lost and none are excluded from being saved. Believes in Him…. means believes in Christ and what He did at the Cross; otherwise, one perish. But have Eternal Life means, the Life of God, the Ever-Living One, Who has life in Himself and Alone has immortality.

No matter what you have done, where you have been, whom you have let down, what you have gone through or what others say about you, as long as you want Him, He wants you. Find out for yourself the magnitude of His goodness, the unsearchable depths of His love for you.

LET’S PRAY.
Dear Heavenly Father, right now l come to you with all my heart and soul, I receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Saviour. I thank You for the gift of my salvation. I ask You to set me free from the sin in my life. Wash away my sin so I can be clean. Make me Your child. I believe that Jesus is the only way to receive this precious gift. I believe He suffered on the cross for my sin, that He died, and that God raised Him from the dead. I am no longer lost. I am found. I will live with You eternally. Because of the Blood that washes away my sin, and because Your word says so, I am saved. I am set free. I am born again. I rejoice in my salvation! Thank You LORD in Jesus glorious name! Amen Amen Amen. Fountain to your life, it is a new dawn.

FORGIVENESS CREATES NEW OPPORTUNITIES

“But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:18 – 19

The Holy Spirit is saying that the old Deliverance will be as nothing compared with the new. Israel must cast it’s eyes forward, not backwards. Every believer born again Christian must cast his or her eyes forward, not backwards.

William Odiambo left his village for the university in Nairobi going on to become a famous architect. After gaining great wealth, he lost it all because of alcoholism.

He returned to his village Mwingi with his wife and only child, a daughter on whom he doted. Their new neighbour owned a large, vicious dog. Although the towns people had asked the man to restrain the dangerous dog, he arrogantly refused.

As Odiambo returned home one day, he heard his daughter’s frantic screams. He raced to find her in the jaws of the neighbour’s dog. He managed to tear her from the dog’s teeth, but she died in his arms.

The town was outraged and shunned the owner of the deadly dog. He was a farmer, and no one would sell him seed for the next season. No seed, no harvest, no crop to sell, and he was broken. The act of unified revenge would drive him into bankruptcy.

But when the major farming season arrived, the neighbours were shocked to see Odiambo’s field was *only half planted, and his neighbour’s field was also half planted.* The evidence was obvious. Odiambo had crossed the fence at night to sow seeds in his neighbour’s field.

We have not practiced forgiveness until *we sow seeds in the garden of our enemies.* In whose garden do you need to sow seeds of forgiveness today?

LET’S PRAY.
May God give you the courage and strength to sow seeds of forgiveness in your enemy’s garden. When you sow in tears, you will reap in joy. This morning let every mountain of impossibility be dashed to pieces on your way to breakthroughs in Jesus name.
May God anoint your eyes to see your divine opportunities in JESUS name. Any set back walking with you, shall release you by fire, anyone vow against you and your children success shall fail and be put to shame in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen. Fountain to your life
