INTRODUCTION
You may feel like you’re running toward God for His favour, but
He is also coming to you quickly to show you compassion!
Debola Deji-Kurunmi 9
When God takes delight in you, it’s akin to living life on Heaven’s
bill! If you desire to do great works for the Father’s Kingdom, be
a blessing to your world, receive more than you could ever ask
or imagine and walk into treasures you couldn’t ever pay for;
then it’s time to step into the favour of God!
Before you start to take these prayers, ensure you read the
section on Understanding Faith Confessions and Meditation,
written by my spiritual father – Pastor Segun Obadje.

UNDERSTANDING FAITH
CONFESSIONS AND
MEDITATION
by Pastor Segun Obadje
WHY CONFESSION?
To confess God’s word simply means to say the same things as
God; that is, to say what God says, or to say what God’s word
implies to one.
“And God said,’ Let there be light’, and there was light”.
(Genesis 1:3)
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not
anything made that was made.” (John 1:1-3)
Debola Deji-Kurunmi 11

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and
in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shat be saved.
10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10: 8-10)
22
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, ‘Have faith in God’.23For
verily I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, ‘Be
thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea’; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall
come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.24Therefore
I say unto you,’ What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.’”
(Mark 11:22-24)
“Jesus said unto him, ‘If thou canst believe, all things are possible
to him that believeth.’” (Mark 9:23.)

“Therefore being justiied by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.2By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in the hope of
the glory of God.” (Romans 5:1-2)

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God 9 Not of works, lest any man should
boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
14
“And the Word was made lesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
behold his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.” 16“And of his fullness have all we received,
and grace for grace.” (John 1:14, 16.)

“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and
was not found, because God had translated him: for before his
translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11: 5-6)
As you confess God’s word you create realities of life; your own
peculiar advantageous circumstance and you give yourself the
needed edge in the scheme of things.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;9That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
(Romans 10:8-10)
MEDITATION
Meditation is a subject that cannot be over-stressed or over-
logged because it is the only biblical way to make the Word of
God work for you.
“This book of the law shall not depart out to thy mouth but thou
shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein, for then thou shall make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.”
(Joshua 1:8)

Until you begin to observe what God has said to you, you have
not studied it enough. Until it comes up and precipitates in your
spirit, you have not studied it enough. You read and then you
study – you give an in-depth consideration to what you have
read until you begin to see it in your heart.

Father, I thank you because I am not a slave but you have called
me your friend. Thank you because by faith, I have become
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and no longer do you
impute sins to my account.
I declare that the Lord has redeemed the time for me, and the
years which were spent in nothingness and wandering, have
now been renewed to a journey of hope and abundance. The
favour of God is upon me; therefore, I hear his voice behind me

the nations. I declare in the name of Jesus that your thoughts for
me stand irm and prosper, for as far as the heavens are from the
earth, so are your thoughts higher than my thoughts and your
ways higher than my ways.
I agree with God that I am kept from evil and in His favour; I
am delivered from those who seek to harm me. By His divine
wisdom, He has made a mockery of my enemies, causing them
to bless me with the best of their riches. I have seen that the Lord
God insults the labour of oppressors; causing their wealth to be
converted unto me. Oh glory to God!

Today, I see that the red seas have parted and I walk through

because you have shown me your mercy and not dealt with
me according to my iniquities. By faith, I have received the
righteousness of God.
Thank you because it is not of the man who wills or the one who
runs, it is the Lord who shows mercy. The tender mercies of the

a way of escape for me. As I journey in life, God has built me
up with strength in my inner man and I am fortiied with grace,
therefore I do not fail in the day of adversity for I am not a weak
specimen. I hold up in persecution or hardship on the way to my
purpose, standing tall and inishing strong.

SALVATION PRAYER
Beloved, if you have not received the Lord Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior; then you don’t belong to the Kingdom of God,
and cannot exercise faith to make bold confessions of faith such
as those in this book. I want to invite you to receive the life of
God and become a Born Again believer today.
Romans 10: 8 – 10 says “The word is near you, in your mouth and
in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if
you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says,
“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Wherever you are right now, you can speak these words below,
believing in your heart and immediately become an accepted
child of God, our Heavenly Father and a member of the
household of God!
“Dear God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up
until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need
You so much today and I want You in my life. I acknowledge the
inished work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me
on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness
you have made freely available to me through this sacriice.

- Abe Omolola
“My irst contact with Debola’s books was with Healing from
Soul Wounds. Ha!!!...it was just what I needed at that time when
I was in a valley period. I was experiencing delays that I couldn’t
explain by human reasoning. I felt like I was being left behind,
with my friends and even younger ones visibly progressing in
every area and I was there, literally grounded and not advancing.
I became depressed! So, I got the Book at her meeting for free.
As I went through it, I got to the part about Healing from Lost Time
and I just stopped there to really personalize the confessions!
That book was literally in my bible for over a year! I would wake
up, read the scriptures attached to each confession and then
take the confessions. Guess what? My peace returned because
I became so conident that what has taken my mates years to
achieve would be perfected in me within months, as I had been
declaring!!

I have had this book since 2012 and as I type right now, it is right

time to study”
