COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS


Basic Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-5
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope:
for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living
know that they shall die: but the dead know not any
thing, neither have thy any more a reward; for the
memory of them is forgotten

It’s another season! A New Year! Congratulations,


you made it to this year 2023. Welcome to the year
2023 and welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration.
It will be awesome to begin this year with a
personal and dedicated thanksgiving! That you are
alive is a great reason to thank your God! No
matter how last year or your past was, put the
devil to shame and thank the giver of life-Jehovah
God! If you are not thankful for what you have, you
are not likely to be thankful for what you are going
to get this year!

Today’s scripture says “For to him that is joined to


all the living there is hope: for a living dog is
better than a dead lion.” Remember you started
2022 with many, but not all are privileged to see
this year 2023. Some died at the beginning of
2022. Some died in an accident. Some died from a
little illness. Someone even died yesterday before

22
the year ended. Your greatest blessing is to be
living. That is why Psalm 150:6 says “Let everything
that hath breath praise the Lord…”

You must understand God is up to something


bigger in your life that is why you are still alive
today. Stop seeing the losses, the pain, the delay,
etc, and see God’s mercies, God’s love, etc. Within
the last few years of your life, there are things you
can look back and say, “thank you Father” Sit down
and count your blessings today. Pray Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit

Hope that this will be a greater year in Jesus
name.

in store for me this year 2023.

THERE SHALL BE NO LOSS


Basic Scripture: Numbers 31:49

And said to him, “Your servants have counted the


soldiers under our command, and not one is missing.”
(NIV).

Welcome to today’s devotional! The Holy Spirit


want you to know that in this New Year, there shall
be no loss in the family. You shall not lose any
family member, none of your friends will be
missing in action this year. You shall count and no
one will be missing. You shall account at the end of
the year and nothing will be missing. You will not
account for any dead, business failure, career
crises, etc. this year. Your entire household will be
secured and protected by God.

In today’s scripture, the Israelite after going to war,


returned to make a report to Moses, and all the
captains came and said not even one of the
soldiers got missing in action. All of them came
back from war. What a mighty God we serve! Can
you go for war and all your soldiers' none of them
was missing in action? There are no casualties with
God.

That is why after this year is over, you shall make


the same report to God that no one in the family

25
went missing. You will go back to God after 2023
with the report “There was no loss” and indeed
there shall be no loss. Your case is different. Pray
against anything that can bring a loss this year.
Pray against accidents, pray against untimely
death, pray against sickness and diseases this year.
Cover your household with the blood of Jesus, and
cease losing anybody this year. Make Jesus the
captain of your life, family, and ministry boat today
and He will sail you through this year successfully
without any loss. Indeed there shall be no loss.
Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Job 22:28; says thou shalt also decree a
thing, and it shall be established unto thee;
I decree and declare, therefore, in this year
2023, there shall be no loss in my
household in Jesus name.
3. Any arrows fired from the dark world to
take a life in my household this year, catch
fire now in Jesus name.
4. I cover my family and my entire household
with the Blood of Jesus name.

PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME


Basic Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13
They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil
with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with
the lamps.

Welcome to today’s devotional with the King of


kings! The year has just started, and the Holy Spirit
is telling today’s HOR user to prepare ahead for the
year. He is telling you to carry oil for the year 2023.
In other words, be empowered to stand at the
time of trials and temptation. Be prepared to be
able to utilize any opportunity that comes your
way this year. Don’t wait for opportunity to come
before you prepare, prepare ahead of time.
In today’s scripture, five of the virgins took oil for
the journey while the other five foolish didn’t. That
is to say, five of the virgins were prepared while
the other five were not. And at the coming of the
bridegroom, the five foolish virgins had no oil. An
opportunity came to go with the bridegroom but
they didn’t have any oil. They missed their
opportunity because they weren’t prepared.
Many believers start the year without being
prepared, empowered or without taking oil for the
journey, so they faint along the road. Some give up
very early when things begin to be tough for them.

27
Some get an opportunity but cannot utilize it
because they are not prepared for it. Some even
backslide because they never took oil for the
journey.
The Holy Spirit is telling you today, to take oil for
the journey in this New Year. Be prepared for the
year lest you miss any opportunity. Be empowered
to stand trials lest your faith fails. Be empowered
to stand temptations lest you fall. Engage in 21
days of fasting and prayers at the beginning of the
year, do your Bible studies, etc. to equip you for
the year. Read anointed books that will help you
this year. Plan and prepare for the year. Don’t be
part of the five foolish virgins who didn’t take time
to prepare to meet the bridegroom. Prepare for
the Journey. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, empower me
for this year.
3. I refuse to be like the five foolish virgins, I
will take extra oil to stand trials, and tough
times in Jesus name.
4. Monthly Declaration: Psalm 96

DO THE RIGHT THING


Basic Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:1-18
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if
thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine
handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man
child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of
his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! God is


about to turn things around for someone this year.
That evil pattern must change this year for your
good. Enough is enough! Be provoke not to see
that evil pattern again this year. Be provoked
enough never to see that problem reoccur again
this year. Do the right thing and provoke your
breakthrough. Make a vow!
In today’s scripture, Hannah was always going to
Shiloh yearly, yet that evil pattern of bareness will
not leave her. She was always going to pray but the
pattern of shame, disgrace, and mockery was still
present in her life until she was provoked that year
to do the right thing and to make a vow to the
Lord. That year her prayer topic changed from
asking God to making a vow. That year she said
enough is enough and she made a vow to the LORD
and that same year her Samuel came.

29
Many people keep praying each year against
poverty, sickness, struggles, barrenness, etc. but
they are still where they are the last five years
now. Until you are provoked to do the right thing,
that problem has the right to remain. Until Hannah
did the right thing, she never saw her Samuel. Be
provoked to see that pattern changed this year for
good. Make a vow to the LORD. Instead of praying
for what you want from the Lord, tell the Lord
what you will give Him this year. Tell Him the
number of souls you will win for Him this year. Tell
Him how you are going to advance the Kingdom
this year. Make a vow to the Lord and you will end
this year with your own Samuel. Tell Him what you
will do for the Kingdom this year and you will end
this year with your own testimony. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Any evil pattern trending in my household
has finally come to an end today. Enough is
enough, catch fire now in Jesus name.
3. Anything that says I won’t prosper, enough
is enough. This year is my year of
abundance. I shall prosper and be in good
health in Jesus name.
4. Pray seriously today as led by the Holy
Spirit.

DON’T GO AHEAD OF GOD


Basic Scripture: Genesis 16:1-16
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD
hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in
unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by
her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

Welcome to today’s devotional! In today’s


scripture, Abraham had been waiting for a long
time for God’s promise and covenant to him, but it
looked as if it would never come to pass or there
was no possibility in it. When he could no longer
wait, he gave in to the counsel of his wife (Sarah)
to sleep with her Egyptian slave (Hagar). It really
looked like a wonderful idea: Hagar would have a
baby and the whole house would have a child to
call theirs. But never forget that not all GOOD
IDEAS ARE GOD’S IDEAS! The tragedy was that
Abram was treading the path of bringing to pass
God’s covenant over him by himself! He was
creating SHORTCUTS that would later become
DEADLY CUTS! He was going ahead of God. Indeed,
waiting can be one of the hardest things for us as
humans, but if we know Him that has sent the
Word, we would hold on and trust Him.

31
There is a pain in the process of waiting between
the PROMISE and the ANSWER; and even harder
when the waiting comes with uncertainties!
WAITING creates questions like: “Where is this
going? Where am I going to end up? What is my
future going to look like?” The reality is, we just
don’t know and it is this uncertainty that crushes
us!

But in this year 2023, determine that you will not


create SHORTCUTS or HELP GOD to bring the
promise to pass! Determine that you will not go
ahead of God. Hurry leads to Sorry! When you
MOVE AHEAD OF GOD, YOU CREATE ISHMAELS
that become YOUR REGRET. God is not a man to
lie. Whatever He has said, He will do. Your waiting
time is not your wasting time. Hold on to God. Pray
Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. I shall not create ISHMAELS! I shall not go
ahead of God! Father, I receive the grace to
wait for You in Jesus name!
3. Arrows of depression, confusion, doubt,
self-pity; back to sender in Jesus name.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLY FOR


YOUR DESTINY
Basic Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:19

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,


that I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy
seed may live.

Welcome to another destiny encounter with the


LORD! In this year 2023 you must understand you
are absolutely responsible for the outcome of your
life. Do not destroy your destiny with your hands.
You must understand this, the devil has no power
over you and your destiny. The devil can never
tamper with your destiny if you don’t give him the
chance. He is always looking for a chance from you.
That is why he is call “the accuser of the brethren.”
He accuses you of your sins. You are the number
one enemy of your destiny. Don’t allow the devil
to get you. Don’t destroy the glorious destiny God
has giving you.

Today’s scripture says “… I have set before you life


and death, blessing and cursing: therefore
choose…” That is you choose what you want.
Remember even though God commanded Saul to
destroy everything but he chose to do what he like
and destroyed his own destiny and dethrone
himself as a king out of disobedience. His own
33
disobedient dethroned him from the throne. If Saul
had done the right thing, no devil could have
dethroned him from his throne.

Many Christians are destroying their destinies and


they blame the devil. The devil has no power over
your destiny. Stop destroying your destiny with sin
and iniquity. Saul destroyed his destiny with
disobedience. Sampson destroyed his destiny with
lust for women. Judas destroyed his destiny with
greediness. Gehazi destroyed his destiny with
greediness. You must not also destroy your own
destiny with sins and iniquity. Guard your destiny
with the fear of the Lord. In this year 2021, you
determine your destiny with your actions. You are
absolutely responsible for the outcome of your
destiny. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, I repent from all my sin and iniquity
that has cost me my destiny. Have mercy
on me and restore back my destiny in Jesus
mighty name.
3. I refuse to destroy my own destiny with sins
and iniquity from today in Jesus mighty
name.
4. Any seed of sin rooted in me to rubbish my
destiny be destroyed now in Jesus mighty
name.

SEEK TO KNOW GOD


Basic Scripture: Daniel 11:32

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he


corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their
God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Welcome to today’s devotional! Knowing God is


the pathway to do exploit and great things in life. It
is those who truly know God that are set for exploit
and in this year 2023 if you are going to do exploit,
then you must know God for yourself. Going to
church does not mean you know God. Being a
Christian does not mean you know God. Knowing
God and His ways is deeper than going to Church
and being a Christian. Knowing God is to have
deeper revelation knowledge of God.

The level of your revelation knowledge of God in


the scriptures is the level of exploits you command.
The deeper your knowledge, the greater the
exploits you command. That is why you must be
desperate to know God for yourself. Those that
truly know God, know they only know a little about
God. Hear what Apostle Paul said in Philippians
3:10 “That I may know him and the power of his
resurrection…” Someone who wrote more of the
New Testament was still seeking to know God.

35
Don’t claim you know this God when you have
little or no revelation knowledge about Him. Seek
Him deeper through the studying of the word of
God and your intimate fellowship with the Holy
Spirit. Seek to know Him from anointed books and
anointed sermons. That will set you on the road for
exploit this year. Always remember, exploit is a
function of your knowledge of God. Seek to know
God Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, give me an unquenchable hunger
for your word today and beyond in Jesus
name.
3. I refuse to think I know God. God, reveal
more of yourself to me today in Jesus
name.
4. Consciously study the word of God and
make more effort to know God

PLANNING BEFORE EXECUTION


Basic Scriptures: Luke 14:28-33

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth


not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the
foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold
it begin to mock him.

Welcome to another divine encounter with the


Lord of Lords! God is still speaking with His people.
The Holy Spirit is telling you today to cultivate the
habit of planning. Learn to plan the year before
executing and success will be inevitable. Starting
your year without planning will lead you to
destruction and mockery. You must sit down to
count the cost for every project you want to
undertake this year before you start them. In this
year 2023, plan for success.

In today’s scripture, we understand every building


must first go through planning before execution.
And those that build without planning are mocked
by people (Verse 29). Success must be planned for.
Greatness must be prepared for. Remember 2
Chronicles 27:6 says “So Jotham became mighty,
because he prepared his ways before the Lord his
God”

37
Don’t be a victim of mockery and destruction due
to inadequate planning. Learn to plan your year
very well before execution. Sit down today, analyze
what you want to achieve this year, and start
making plans on how you can achieve them. Count
the cost for every project you want to undertake
this year. You can’t start the year without planning.

Plan to complete fully your One Year Bible Plan.


Plan to limit the number of hours you spend on
television and plan to spend more time on your
vision. Plan to spend more time in prayers. Be a
master planner this year and you shall surely end
the year with smiles. Write all your goals and
expectations for each month and the whole year
and start planning on how you are going to achieve
them and Grace will be available for you. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Lord Jesus, make me a master planner of
my life in Jesus name.
3. Lord, I commit all my plans into your hands,
may I never fail to accomplish them in Jesus
name.

Expectations.

THEY SHALL FALL


Basic Scripture: Isaiah 54:13-17

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by


me: whosoever shall gather together against thee
shall fall for thy sake.

It another day and another encounter with God.


Today’s scripture verse 15 says “Behold they shall
surely gather, but not by me: whosoever shall
gather against you shall fall for your sake.” Did
you get that? That is any gang up of hell against
your life and destiny this year shall die for your
sake. That is, wherever the enemies will gather
against you, they will not survive. In verse 17 says
“No weapon that is formed against you shall
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against
thee in judgment you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord…” Did you get
that? It is your heritage.

Therefore, in this year 2023, you become


untouchable to the wickedness of the wicked. You
are a no-go area for the devil. Anyone who dares
you will fall for your sake. Any witch bewitching
you shall die this year for your sake. This is the
heritage of the children of the LORD.

39
Your destiny is secured from the hands of the
adversary. Your life is safe from those that seek
you. Because when they gather against you, they
shall fall for your sake. Stop crying over who is
against you and who is for you from today. If God
be for you who can be against you. Give God praise
for such His sure word for you this year. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whosoever shall gather together against me
shall fall for my sake in Jesus name.
3. I am a no-go area of the devil. He that dares
me, my God will crash him in Jesus mighty
name.

from the hands of the wicked in the mighty

YOU ARE ON A MISSION


Basic Scripture: Luke 2:41-49

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?


wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

Welcome to today’s devotional! You must


understand that every redeemed of the Lord is
here for a mission, and until you live with a sense
of mission, you will not have impact in life. Until
you live with a sense of vision, you don’t have a
clear focus in life. Until you live with a sense of
mission here on earth, you are going to waste your
time, energy and resources. Your impact on earth
is as a function of your sense of mission you
commit yourself to.

In today’s scripture, twelve year old Jesus was


already living with a sense of mission. He never lost
focus when he was on earth. He knew what He
came here on earth to do. He was on a mission. At
a point He said … My meat is to do the will of him
that sent me, and to finish his work. (John 4:34).
And at another point he said, I must work the
works of him that sent me… (John 9:4). At a point
he said “I am come to send fire on the earth…”
(Luke 12:49). Again in John 18:37 he said “…To this
end was I born, and for this cause came I into the
41
world…” Jesus never lost focus on earth. He lived
with a sense of mission and He had an impactful
ministry.

You must understand you are on earth for a


mission if you want to live a life of impact. You
must not be “here and there” Christian who don’t
know his left from the right. In this year 2023 live
with a vision and a mission. You must have a clear
vision and know that you are here on a mission. If
you want to fulfil your destiny then live as one on a
mission. At twelve years, Jesus was already on His
mission. You are too old to be playing around. Get
going! You are on a mission and your mission must
be accomplish. Your time is too short to waste it.
Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, I refuse to lose
focus in life and ministry.

LIVE RIGHT
Basic Scripture: Romans 12:9-21

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things


honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much
as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men

Welcome to today’s devotional! I will like to share


this story in today’s devotional! There was this
young lady, who thought the whole world was for
her. She didn’t respect anyone and can insult
anyone she likes. She once insulted an old woman
in a bus and went scot-free. A few years later she
gave her life to Christ and she met a pastor who
wanted to marry her. The pastor sent her to his
house to meet his mother, but unfortunately for
her, the mother of the pastor was the same old
woman she insulted a few years back. The mother
disagreed and it took God’s mercy for the mother
to finally accept her. She was accepted but the
marriage was delayed because the mother of the
pastor didn’t wanted to accept her in the first
place.

Be careful how you live today. It can affect your


tomorrow. Even though she had changed, her bad
record delayed her marriage and her glory. Many
believers are like that today. Even though they
have changed, the life they lived a few years back

43
is speaking in their life till date. Some delays in life
are as a result of your past life.

That is why you must learn to live right this year.


Today’s scripture says “… live peaceably with all
men.” You must be watchful of how you relate
with people, and what you do now. If you do good
today, it will definitely speak for you a few years to
come and if you do evil too, it will speak in the
years coming. Beware of how you live today it can
affect your tomorrow. It can delay your
breakthroughs. It can close your open doors. Live
right. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit
2. Father, I repent from the way I lived in the
past. Let your mercies speaks for me today
in Jesus name.
3. By the blood of Jesus, I nullify every mistake
in the past that is speaking in my life today
in Jesus mighty name.

in the past which is growing in my life now

MY HARVEST SEASON IS NOW


Basic Scripture: Esther 6:1-11

On that night could not the king sleep, and he


commanded to bring the book of records of the
chronicles; and they were read before the king. And it
was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana
and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the
keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the
king Ahasuerus.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! God sent


me to announce to Hour of Restoration users
today, that your harvest season is up. The good
seed you sowed over the years, and in the year
2022 is ripe for harvest. The good you did for that
woman and that man that you have even forgotten
is ripe for harvest. Your labor in the LORD is ripe
for harvest now. All your secret prayers and fasting
is due for reward. You shall not miss your harvest
season this year.

In today’s scripture, Mordecai had done good to


the king, but the king forgot until that night when
Mordecai’s harvest season was up. That night the
king could not sleep because it was Mordecai’s
harvest season. Nothing could have stopped his
harvest. The king had to remember him for his
good work done.
45
You are next on the line for your harvest. God will
remember you for all your labor and the good
works you keep doing. Those that have to be
burdened will be burdened for your sake. Those
that have to be restless, will be restless because
they must remember you. Those that have to be
sleepless will be sleepless because your harvest
season has come. No HOR user will miss his or her
harvest in Jesus name. Your labor will not be in
vain. The good seed you have sown over the years
will not go waste. God will visit you for good in this
year 2022. You shall enjoy your harvest. Pray Now

WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU


REAP
Basic Scripture: Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a


man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Welcome to today’s hour of restoration! The Holy


Spirit is telling you today, do not be deceived, what
you will sow this year is what you will reap. It is not
enough to have plans for the year. The most
important is what you do with the plans you have.
You must therefore understand that bad habits will
always produce bad results and a good habit will
always produce good results.

If you sow bad habit you shall reap bad results this
year and if you sow good habit you shall enjoy the
best results. Avoid Habit that will give you a bad
year. Avoid Procrastination, it will destroy the
plans you made and will produce bad results this
year. Avoid being proud and too knowing, it will
make people who are supposed to help you
despise you, and that will produce a bad result.
Avoid telling lies, this will make no one to believe
you, and will make your life miserable. Avoid secret
sins, these will destroy you and your future.
Doubtful spirit kills, avoid it this year. Avoid the

47
habit of talking too much to people this year. Avoid
laziness. Avoid cheating! Avoid fornication!

Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.


Sow good seeds this year. Give to advance the
kingdom of God. Help the poor and the needy. Be a
man or woman of integrity. Have dignity. Respect
everyone. Work hard this year. Be dedicated to
your vision. Remember always that bad Habit
produces bad results and a good habit will always
produce good results. Avoid any habit that will
destroy your year and beyond. Pray Now

GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME


Basic Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8-9

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that


one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a
thousand years as one day.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! You must


understand that God is never late in His ways. He is
never late when he makes promises. He makes all
things beautiful in His time. He is always on time.
Don’t expect God to move according to your time.
No! Don’t expect Him to open you up in your own
time. No! His ways are higher than your ways. He is
never late.

One day is as a thousand years to Him and a


thousand years as one day. Don’t pressure God
because you feel the time is right for you. You may
think the time is right for you, but in God’s
calendar and agenda, the time is not up yet. Don’t
think because you are of age means your time is
up. Continue doing what He tells you to do and He
will surely show up in His time.

Many people are frustrated because God gave a


promise to them and they are not seeing anything
now. Many are miserable because that long
49
prophecy has not been fulfilled. Be patient and
wait on the Lord’s appointed time. He promised
Abraham a child and for twenty-five years nothing
to show forth. He anointed David as a King of Israel
and for many years there was no proof. Until God
showed up in His time. Always understand God is
never late. Hold on! He will make all things
beautiful. He is always on time. Pray Now

CAN GOD USE YOU?


Basic Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:20-21
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold
and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some
to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore
purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto
honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use and
prepared unto every good work.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! You must


understand that God is looking for who to send this
year. He is looking for a vessel to use this year.
Isaiah 6:8 says “Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for
us...” The question is, “Can God use you?” Let me
share a story with you today.

The story is about a young Christian lady who was


a student at a university. The university was hit by
acute water shortage such that people of the
university community could not get water to do
their normal chores. The young Christian lady was
pressed on one of the water scarcity days and
needed to go to the toilet badly to relieve herself.
She went to the first toilet and discovered that it
had been badly messed up and was not even
flushed. Human feces was visibly loaded in it. She

51
rushed out and couldn’t use it. She went to
another and met it in the same condition and
couldn’t use it. As she went from toilet to toilet,
she found none that she could use. Meanwhile,
this young woman had been praying to God to use
her. So, when she couldn’t use any of the toilets,
the Lord asked her “Why can’t you use the
toilets?” she said to God; “They are too dirty” The
Lord then said to her, “Do you know why I can’t
use you; you are too dirty.”

That is why today’s scripture says only sanctified


vessels are meet for the master’s use. The big
question is: “Can God use you?” If your answer is
“NO,” then you have work to do. Probably,
laziness, sin, pride, etc, could be the reason why
God can’t use you yet. Examine yourself! Clean up
so that you can be a vessel He can use for His Glory
this year. Pray Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Repent from any secret sin that makes you
dirty.
3. Holy Ghost, make me a vessel You can use!
Take away from me all DIRT limiting my
readiness for Your use in Jesus name.

BREAKTHROUGH NIGHT OF PRAYERS
Arise and Shine
Basic Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-22;

God is telling you “Arise, shine; for thy light” you are
ordained to shine and you shall be shinning. By the reason
of your light, when darkness covers the earth and gross
darkness the people, the LORD shall arise upon you and
His glory shall be seen upon you. People will come to your
light and kings to the brightness of your reason. And then
you shall be a high flyer that people will ask who is this
that flies like the cloud. You will be empowered by that
same light that as little as you are now, you will be turned
into a thousand, and small as you are you shall become a
strong nation, God will do this. Therefore, no demon,
principality, or powers can stop you from shinning. But in
1 Corinthians 16:9 says for a great door and effectual is

You must understand one of the secrets of
WINNING is PAYING THE PRICE (sacrifice and pain)
FOR THE PRIZE. One way of doing this is to always
run your race and keep the end in mind – right
from the beginning! Keep seeing where you are
going no matter the multitudes screaming against
your vision. Don’t look at the valleys! Keep your
eyes on the mountain top. Every winner visualizes
the END right from the START or MID JOURNEY!
See it! Write it! Speak it! Dream it! And watch it
materialize!

Today’s scripture says RUN to OBTAIN the PRIZE.


That is to say, pay every price for the prize. You
must sacrifice everything for the prize. You must go
all out for the prize. You must run to obtain. If you
are not doing anything, you cannot obtain any
prize.

That is why in this year, if you want true greatness,


if you want to move from story to glory, if you
58
want to move from shame to fame, if you really
want to WIN the prize then you have to pay the full
price! There is nothing free even in FREETOWN!
Even what you receive freely, like your salvation,
has already been paid for by someone – The LORD
JESUS Himself! So determine to pay the price of
more fasting, more prayers, more sowing,
forgiveness, patience, night prayers, extra hard
work, holiness, working for God, daily quiet time,
never quitting, etc in this year 2023. You shall win
the prize at last. Pay the price for the prize. Pray
Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, grant me the
grace to pay the full PRICE for the PRIZE this
year!
3. I reject being a FAILURE this year! I shall not
miss any opportunity that will come my
way in Jesus name.

ALLOW THE WRONG PEOPLE TO


LEAVE
Basic Scripture: Genesis 13:9-17
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was
separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look
from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the
land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, to thy seed
for ever.

Welcome to today’s devotional with the King of


kings! You must understand that this year, some
people may leave you from time to time to time!
Some will BETRAY you like Judas and leave you!
Some you have helped in the past may turn against
you, but never forget that the LORD still appeared
to Abram after Lot left him. One or two people that
leave your life or ministry cannot stop God`s
agenda for you! In fact, some of them must leave
for God’s agenda to be fulfilled.

In today’s scripture, God only spoke to Abram after


Lot left him. Abram's destiny opened up when Lot
left. Probably Lot thought his leaving will affect
Abram but his leaving became Abram’s
breakthrough. Some wrong people must leave your
life for God to visit you again. Some people must
60
leave you for God to make you. Some people must
go for God to promote you.

That is why you must not cry over people who left
you. Catch this: Nobody who left you can stop you!
Stop looking at their departure! Start seeing a
better tomorrow without them because many
more are coming! Nobody is your GOD! Cut off
that emotional attachment to him/her! Allow them
to go because many more are still coming! Stop
crying! Stop feeling you are a loser because you
lost them! NO! NO! NO! Those that left you are the
losers because they were not counted qualified to
be a part of your tomorrow! Don’t make anybody
feel you cannot do without them. Don’t force them
to stay if they want to leave. You may be blocking
your own breakthrough. Let them go. Pray Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Holy Ghost, shake away the WRONG
PEOPLE from my life, family, and ministry in
Jesus name.
3. Lord God, heal me emotionally concerning
anybody whose departure is hurting me!

EMPOWERED TO WITNESS
Basic Scripture: Matthew 10:5-8
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give.

Welcome to today’s devotional! You must


understand that God does not give you anything or
special gifts for pride or idleness. God does not
empower you for your personal gain. God has
empowered you for a purpose: To win souls into
the kingdom. You are to use the power to obey
Him witnessing and advertising Him to the world.
You are to use your power for the world to know
that Jesus Christ is Lord. He wants you to use your
power, riches, and influence to glorify Him. If you
want extraordinary power, you must be
extraordinarily involved in evangelism! Be
passionate about evangelism. Spend your time and
resources in soul winning.

In today’s scripture, Jesus empowered His disciples


to go and preach the kingdom. He gave them
power to heal, cleanse, raise the dead and cast out
devils but all for the purpose of the kingdom. He

62
didn’t give them the power for themselves but the
kingdom.

You must understand that the wealth God has


giving you is for His kingdom's work. The power He
has giving you in your community or the country is
for His kingdom work. Go all out for Jesus. Start
today! Do more evangelism in your little way. You
can share Hour of Restoration devotional to friends
and family as a way of evangelizing to others. You
can become a distributor or a partner to send the
gospel to the lost souls. Be an addicted soul
winner. If you want more power do more
evangelism. Remember whatever you have now
and wherever you are now is all for the kingdom of
God. You are empowered to witness. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Repent from ways in which you have
neglected the Kingdom work.
3. Father, in the name of Jesus, I shall use my
time, energy, and resources to win souls for
the Kingdom. So help me God.
4. I am an addicted Soul winner! I am an
ambassador for Christ! Soul winning is my
lifestyle in Jesus name.

DON’T ENGAGE IN EVERY FIGHT


Basic Scripture: 1 Samuel 26:9
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who
can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s
anointed, and be guiltless?

Welcome to today’s devotional with the Lord of


hosts! You must understand that there are battles
no matter what you do, you cannot win. No matter
how anointed you are, there are battles you will
never win. No matter how rich and powerful you
are, there are some battles you can never conquer.
Do not waste your time fighting every battle. Not
every battle is meant to fight. There are battles no
matter what you do, you will lose.

In today’s scripture, David knew the battle against


his master Saul was a lost battle so he will not even
dare to fight. He first acknowledged that he cannot
fight the Lord’s ANOINTED and go free. He knew no
matter what, he will lose the battle if he tries to
fight. Remember Moses didn’t fight Pharaoh the
first time Pharaoh was chasing him, because it was
a lost match for Moses. No matter what he would
have done, he couldn’t have stand Pharaoh at that
time. Even God had to tell Mary and Joseph to run
to Egypt because they couldn’t have fought with
Herod at the time he wanted to kill Jesus.

64
It is wisdom not to fight battles you know you will
lose. Imagine a child fighting his father who feeds
him and pays his fees, the child has already lost
that fight. You cannot fight your authorities and go
free. You cannot fight your spiritual father and win.
There are some people no matter how they hurt
you, you cannot get angry or retaliate, for by doing
so you will be affecting yourself. There are some
people when they offend you, you must go to
them and apologize. Don’t try to fight lost battles.
Learn from the wisdom of David in today’s
scripture. No matter your age, your anointing, your
riches, your power, your influences, etc. there are
battles you cannot win. Don’t waste your time
fighting them. Pray Now.
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Repent from ways you have tried to fight
lost battles.
3. It is wisdom to apologize to those you tried
to fight.

BE POSITIVE IN EVERY SITUATION


Basic Scripture: 2 Kings 4:18-36
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is
it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well
with the child? And she answered, it is well.

Welcome to today’s devotional with the Lord of


lords! Be mindful of your attitude towards
situations. When things are not going on well,
learn to speak good things. When things are not
working as planned, still be positive. Everyone has
a problem, everyone faces challenges, and
everyone goes through bad situations sometimes,
but how you handle yours determines the
outcome. When you are positive in your situation it
will turn out to be good for you.

In today’s scripture, the Shunammite woman’s


child died, but when Elisha asked Gehazi to go
meet her, the woman never cried or grieved, all
she could tell Gehazi is IT IS WELL. When her son
was dead, the only language she knew was IT IS
WELL. She never spoke evil in that situation. She
was positive in a difficult situation and things
changed for her. Her child came back to life.

Learn from the Shunammite woman today. Learn


to be positive amid difficulties. When life gives you
66
LIMES, rearrange it until it becomes SMILE. Don’t
cry over situations. Don’t grieve over
circumstances. Always put on a SMILE and PRAY.
Showing the world that you are in a difficult
situation doesn’t change anything, it just adds up
to your trouble. Being STRONG in times of STORM
is what makes you a WINNER. Be like the
Shunammite woman, always be positive towards
situations and you shall smile at the end of the
storm. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, strengthen me
to go through life when challenges arise.
3. I shall not grieve over situations, I shall not
cry nor worry about a situation. I shall be
positive in all that happens in my life in
Jesus name

CHANGE YOUR APPROACH


Basic Scripture: 2 Chronicle 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall


humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration. You must


understand you cannot approach life the same way
you do for long and expect different result. You
won’t have different result with the same
approach. If you want to see difference in your
result, then you must change your approach. And
what the Holy Ghost is telling you is, in this year
2023, if you will see results then you must change
your approach to many things.

In today’s scriptures, God said, if the people will be


humble and pray and change their ways, then they
shall see result. That is, as long as they keep doing
what they are doing God will not heal their land for
them. They only need to change their approach
and do the right thing for God to also give them
result.

68
There are lot of people struggling in life because
they keep using the old approach. They keep doing
the old things and are expecting to have new
results. You must change your approach if you
want to remove your reproach. You can’t use the
same old method to run your business and expect
new results. You can never use the same old
method to run your ministry and think of new
results. You cannot keep that bad character and
expect things to go well. If you want to see new
results in life, business, ministry, marriage,
academics, etc. then you must change your
approach. The world keeps changing and you must
be updated or you will be outmoded. Don’t use the
same approach for new results, it will never work.
Change your approach. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, endure me

YOUR DESTINY IS NOT IN ANY MAN’S


HAND
Basic Scripture: Genesis 14:21-23
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up
mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the
possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take
from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not
take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I
have made Abram rich.

It’s another destiny encounter with the King of


kings! You must understand that your destiny is
not in any man’s hand. Your prosperity is not in the
hands of a government. Your success in life is not
tied to your boss. Your wealth and riches are not in
the pocket of that brother, sister, parent, uncle,
etc. You must understand that your destiny is in
the hands of God and not in man.

In today’s scripture, the king of Sodom wanted to


help Abram. He was ready to give Abram
everything. But hear what Abram said, “That I will
not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and
that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest
thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.”
Abram knew his source so he will not tie his
destiny to any man.
70
The struggle of many people is because they have
tied their destiny to men. They have tied their
prosperity to the government. They have made
their friends and family as god over them. So when
men fail them, they are doomed. Don’t be a victim.
Don’t tie your destiny to any man, for they will
take God’s glory and say “I made him rich” or “I
made him who he is today”. Hear what David said
in Psalm 121:1-2 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills, from whence cometh my help. My help
cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and
earth” Don’t look unto man for help, he or she will
disappoint you. Look unto God and He will bring
you the right people your way. As you go about the
year, always remember your destiny is not in any
man’s hand. Your destiny is in the hands of God.
Pray Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Lord Jesus, I repent from ways I tied my
destiny into another man’s hands. Show me
mercy today.

YOU ARE YOUR THOUGHT


Basic Scripture: Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink,
saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! You must


understand that what you think in your heart is
what makes you who you are. It is failure thoughts
that make a failure. It is lack thoughts that make a
pauper. In the same way, it is winning thoughts
that make a winner. And it is success thinking that
makes a man successful. The current state of your
life is a product of your thinking. What you think is
what makes you.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”


Everything you see around you is a product of
someone’s thought. Creation is a product of God’s
thought. The companies you see around are the
product of someone’s thoughts. The houses, cars,
etc. are all products of someone’s thought. Your
thinking is a powerful tool that can make or
unmake you.

That is why in this year 2023 you must always think


positive. Always think of how to solve problems
and not to create problems. Always think of how to
72
be an asset and not a liability. Always think of how
to give and not to beg. Don’t think negatively
about yourself. Stop thinking you are inferior. Stop
thinking you cannot make it in life. Stop thinking
you are useless. And start thinking like a winner.
Think like a rich man. Think like a star. Think like a
hero. Think like a king and a queen. You are a
product of your thought. If you don’t like the way
your life is now, then check your thinking pattern
and change your thinking. You will forever be poor
if you think like one. That is why Romans 12:1 says
“... be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind.” Think positive and talk positively because
you are your thoughts. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, I renew my
mind and my thought today

YOU SHALL LAUGH


Basic Scripture: Psalm 2:1-5
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers
take counsel together, against the LORD, and against
his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in
the heavens shall laugh: The LORD shall have them in
derision.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration. You must


understand that laughter is the one tool that
throws confusion into the camp of the enemy,
especially when the devil is doing his worst to fill
you with depression and sorrow. Today’s scripture
says something interesting about God: When His
enemies gather themselves together to plot
against Him and His anointed ones (that include
you and me), HE LAUGHS. That is His first response.
HE LAUGHS. “He that sits in the heavens shall
laugh…”

If your Father is laughing over the plots and sweat


of your enemies over you, WHO ARE YOU TO CRY
AND BE SORROWFUL? You need to understand
what God understands about laughter: It is one of
the best tools for confusing the enemy. Hear what
Job 5:22 says “At destruction and famine thou

74
shalt laugh…” That is even in destruction you will
be laughing.

That is why you must never let battles or the devil


steal your laughter or your JOY because he knows
that the JOY of the LORD is your strength! Maybe
from how the year has been so far, you really
cannot find a reason to laugh and rejoice! But God
is using today’s devotional to say to you: Stop
looking around you and look up to God. When you
look at God, you will find reasons to laugh and
rejoice! Face the world daily with a smile on your
face! No matter how ugly things look, DON’T TAKE
OFF THAT SMILE! Put on your laughter clothes
today and keep the devil and all your enemies in a
state of permanent confusion! Laugh at the devil
now. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit
2. I put on the cloth of joy and celebration
today. I decree: My joy/peace cannot be
stolen in Jesus name.

DON’T FORCE TO FIT IN


Basic Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:38-40
And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an
helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with
a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his
armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved
it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these;
for I have not proved them. And David put them off
him.

It another destiny encounter with the Lord of lords!


The Holy Spirit is telling you today via today’s
devotional that in this year 2023, you don’t force
yourself to fit in. Don’t force yourself to be someone
you are not. Don’t try to live your life like someone
you are not. Don’t copy the lifestyle of others. Don’t
force to fit into other people’s class. Don’t force to fit
into a business you don’t have any idea. Don’t try to
fit into a marriage you know will not end well. Don’t
try to fit into anybody’s life.

In today’s scripture, Saul gave his armour to David to


fight Goliath. That is, Saul wanted David to fit in his
way. But here what David said to Saul, I cannot go
with these; for I have not proved them. And David
put them off him. David told Saul I don’t fit in. I will
not force myself to. David used what was convenient
for him and that brought his victory. He didn’t have

76
to force to look like someone he is not before
winning. His sling and his stone were enough to win.

The pressure and the struggle of many are because


they want to fit into society. People put pressure on
themselves just to fit in. They buy clothes more
expensive than they can afford just to fit in. They
spend more money than their expenses just to fit in.
They pretend to be who they are not just to fit into
the marriage. Don’t kill yourself to please anyone. If
David had tried to fit in Saul’s armour, Goliath might
have killed him. Remember all hands are not the
same. People have ruined their destinies because
they wanted to fit in. Be like David, use your sling and
your stone and God will give you victory. Don’t force
to be in Saul’s armour, it can kill you and your
destiny. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by the
Holy Spirit.
2. I refuse to fit into something I am not. I am

force to fit where I am not in Jesus name.

DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT


Basic Scripture: Isaiah 31:1-3
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay
on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are
many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong;
but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither
seek the LORD! Now the Egyptians are men, and not
God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the
LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth
shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and
they all shall fail together.

Welcome to today’s devotional! What is ‘EGYPT’?


Egypt represents anything, anyone, or any place
that God has delivered you from. Egypt represents
those things, places, and people that once
oppressed and tormented you, but from
whom/which your God has delivered you. One
painful thing is that the ‘Egypts’ of life never give
up! They will do whatever they can to bring you
back into their bondage.

Hear the word of the Lord in verse 1 of today’s


scripture: “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for
help…” Did you get that? Remember, when there
was famine in the days of Isaac and when Isaac
wanted to go to Egypt, hear what the Lord said
“And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go
78
not down into Egypt…” (Genesis 26:1-2). EGYPT is
anything that is FLESH! EGYPT is that man or
woman whom you see as your God or solution
giver! No matter how tough and depressing things
look for you, NEVER GO DOWN TO EGYPT because
there is “WOE”, A CURSE attached to “Egypt!” Stay
with the Lord! Stay in His Word! There is no help
for you in Egypt!

No matter how this year will be, DON’T GO TO


EGYPT FOR HELP. Your help is in the name of the
Lord. Egypt is your enemy! The destiny of Egypt, all
her helpers, and all those that go to Egypt for help
are sealed with disappointment and destruction.
See Verse 2, “the Lord will arise against the house
of the evil doers, and against the help of them
that work iniquity.” When the Lord rises against
Egypt, you don’t want to be caught in the
destruction gap! Don’t be on their side! Pray Now

JEHOVAH JIREH: THE LORD WILL


PROVIDE
Basic Scripture: Psalm 34:8-10
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to
them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer
hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want
any good thing.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! I am led


to use this devotional write-up. Just consider
Moses leading between 2 to 3 million people
requiring food and water in the wilderness.
Statistics show that Moses would have had 1500
tons of food every day requiring two freight trains,
each 11/kilometers long just for one day. And just
think about it; they were forty years in the
wilderness. If they only had enough water to drink
and wash a few dishes, it would take 11 million
gallons each day and a cargo train with tanks that
are 2,500 kilometers long just bringing water. They
had to cross the Red Sea at night. It would have
required 35 days and nights to get through the red
sea if they went through a narrow path. So they
had to be a very big space in the red sea to get
through over in one night. Lastly, they require a
campground which could have been two-thirds of

80
the city of Accra. This has been called by experts as
the world’s biggest miracle!

Do you think that Moses planned with these data


in mind before stepping out? No! No! No! Don’t
you think that the God that did this for Moses can
also take care of your life, family, academics,
business, and ministry in this year? That is why
today’s scripture says “… for there is no want to
them that fear him.” I call him JEHOVAH JIREH. He
is your provider.

That is why no matter how 2023 has started be


anxious for nothing. He is the same yesterday,
today, and forever. He has not changed! If he did it
for Moses and the Israelites He will do it again for
you. Refuse anxiety! He shall provide all your
needs according to His riches. Your provision of
money, good health, husband, wife, helpers, etc,
shall be sure this year! Keep trusting Him and it
shall be for you for a testimony. Shame shall never
be your last stop in Jesus name. Pray Now

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU


CONSUME
Basic Scripture: Matthew 6:22-23

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye


be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if
thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be
darkness, how great is that darkness!

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration. The Bible


tells us from 1 Corinthians 6:12 that all things are
lawful but all things are not expedient. This means
in as much as we have the right to see, hear and do
all things, not all things are helpful or beneficial, or
wise. Jesus tells us from today’s Scripture how we
can generate light or darkness into our body and
spirit by what we give our attention to. The world
is daily changing and culture is gradually adjusting
to the worldly change. We live in a world where
evil materials and lifestyles are seen as normal.
People enter into relationships for fun and end up
breaking their hearts. Some committing suicide
here and there.

We live in a society where things shown on


television are full of fornication and adultery,
magic and tricks, and many more. It is in this same

82
society where people use the internet to receive
impartation from men and women of God who
held programs years ago and they were streamed
and saved to the internet. The same society has
churches where the presence of God dwells and
also in the same society there is a nightclub for all
forms of fleshy fantasy.

At the end of the day, you are the one to choose


whether to allow light into your body and spirit or
darkness into them. We were not saved to go back
into darkness. We are saved into light and we must
intentionally consume and allow light into us. Pray
now.
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, please help
me to consciously see the light and refrain

her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

Cobra Effect is a term in Economics. It refers to a
situation when an attempted solution to a problem
makes the problem worse! This name was coined
from an incident in old colonial India. For some
reason, there were too many dangerous cobras in
Delhi, India. People were dying due to snake bites!
The government then decided that a silver coin
would be given to anyone who killed a cobra. The
results were great; a large number of snakes were
killed for the silver coin reward. Eventually,
however, it led to some serious, unwanted
consequences. After a short-term drop in the
snake (cobra) population, it started rising again!
This was because a few people began to breed
cobras in order to get the silver cash reward. When
the news reached the government, the reward
program was scrapped! As soon as the reward of
the silver coin was scrapped, those cobra breeders
set the now worthless snakes free. As a result, the

84
cobra population further increased. The solution to
the problem made the situation even worse!

In today’s scripture, Abram and Sarai had a good


intention of getting the promised child. But that
decision produced Ishmael. Verse 12 says “And he
will be a wild man; his hand will be against every
man, and every man’s hand against him”! Wow! A
wild generation from a wrong decision! And it is
happening today because Ishmael is the
grandfather of Arabs.

That is why you must beware of “The Cobra


Effect”. Take time to pray over every major
decision you intend to make this year, otherwise, a
good decision can produce Ishmael. Think about
the long-term effect of every decision you make.
Refuse to be a victim of the Cobra effect or refuse
to produce Ishmael. Pray Now

BE VIGILANT
Basic Scripture: Daniel 6:1-17
Then the presidents and princes sought to find
occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but
they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as
he was faithful, neither was here any error or fault
found in him.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! You must


understand that there are forces and people that
are looking daily for your downfall. They are
watching and hoping day and night that your life
will end up in shame and disgrace. That was
Daniel’s experience from today’s scripture and that
will be the experience of anybody destined for the
top because the top makes you a topic. The same
thing happened to Jesus of Nazareth, our
Model. Luke 11:54 says: “Laying wait for Him, and
seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that
they might accuse him.”

In Mark 12:13: “And they send unto Him certain of


the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch Him
in His words.” What the blessed Holy Spirit is
saying to you through today’s devotional is that
there are unseen forces who envy the grace of God
on you and they are planning your downfall! If you

86
are careless or OFF YOUR GUARD, you will be a
victim of the unseen traps of evil powers! These
forces can use men, women, and love for money,
daily trials, and other weapons. They are planning
to put you in a den of shame.

Arise today and pull down every demonic trap set


up against you this year! Oh, behold the prayer of
David in a very trying season of his life – Psalm 31:4
“Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily
for me: for thou art my strength.” Pray Now
Prayer Bullets
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit
2. I return to sender any evil plan against my
destiny.
3. Lord, disappoint the wicked and enlarge my
coast.

YOU WILL END WELL


Basic Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:8
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:
and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in
heart.

Welcome to today’s Hour of Restoration! You must


understand that your beginning is important but
more important is your ending. What matters in
this RACE OF LIFE IS HOW YOU END! No matter
how fast you run, you can’t be the winner if you
don’t finish. Great is the art of beginning, but
greater is the art of ending! There are pastors that
started well but ended in shame and regret. There
are businessmen that started on a good note but
ended up in the wilderness of life.

That is why today’s scripture says “Better is the


end of a thing than the beginning thereof…”
Remember Enoch did not start his journey with
God. However, after he had Methuselah, he
remembered God and had a glorious finish
(Genesis 5: 22-24). Apostle Paul started as a
MURDERER but ended WELL (2 Timothy 4:6-8). In
the same way, Saul started well and didn’t end
well. Solomon started well but ended up
worshipping other gods (1 Kings 11:4). Judas

88
Iscariot started well as one of Jesus’ disciples but
ended up hanging himself.

That is why you must fight the good fight of faith.


You must lay hold on eternal life. You must finish
your course. Fight till the end. Finish the RACE. You
will not end like how Judas Iscariot ended. You will
not end like Solomon. You will end well. Use
today’s devotional to examine your life and
ministry and determine that YOU WILL END WELL
this year. Determine by the Grace of God you will
end very well. Pray Now
Prayer Bullet
1. Take a song of worship and pray as led by
the Holy Spirit.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus, and by Your
Grace, I shall not end my journey with
regret.
3. I decree that my best days are ahead! I shall
end well! The glory of my latter years shall
be greater than the former years in Jesus
mighty name.
