Matthew 26:6 (KJV)

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.

Jesus was in the house of Simon the leper. Think of the contradiction, the Healer, the Miracle Worker, the Author and Finisher of our faith sat in the home of a man still identified by his sickness. Scripture shows no record of Simon's healing, only that Jesus was comfortably reclining in his house. Just imagine being in the presence of the Creator himself, yet the host remained sick.

Likewise, you may be sick, suffering through challenges, or living in lack, yet still in God's presence. However, I assure you that as you read this GoodNews Daily today, that contradiction ends! There is a realignment of your body's anatomy to the Word of God. Today, your health, business, family, and finances are being restored. You will no longer dwell in God's presence and live a life of contradictions!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am not a loser! I am not a failure! I shall succeed no matter what, for God has given me victory far above principalities and powers, in the mighty Name of Jesus. Praise the Lord!

Matthew 24:38 (KJV)

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.

Consider carefully the pretext of the text so that as you dissect the scripture, you can grasp the context. Who was eating and drinking? Was it Noah? No, he was busy building the ark. The eating and drinking were the preoccupation of sinners.

In today’s world, the same is happening, "pride" parades, festivals with drinking, singing, and all forms of excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures. However, the true Christian focuses on soul-winning and the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Everything that's happening now was at the centre of Noah's days, but Noah remained focused on his God-given assignment. When the flood came, while others suffered in agony, Noah had peace of mind.

In this Year of Strange Oil, don’t be distracted. Fix your gaze on Jesus, for His return is closer than you think.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am on fire for Jesus until His glorious appearance. I am ready to meet Him in the clouds, even now! Hallelujah!

Joel 2:1 (KJV)

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand.

Sometimes, a sudden discomfort or uneasiness comes to your mind. This is more than a thought, it's a signal from the spiritual realm, a warning that something is about to happen. Signals of war make you unsettled in your spirit.

When you discern such signals, it means your spirit is sensitive and alert to pending attacks, and you need to be ready. Don't ignore them; catch the signals and respond immediately in prayer, waging warfare with the Word. Be vigilant, because you may even have a Judas hidden in your camp.

In this Year of Strange Oil, stay alert, decode the signals for warfare, and stand your ground in victory.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am a soldier in the Lord’s army. My spiritual antenna captures Heaven’s signals for warfare, and I spring into action. I cannot be caught unawares, in Jesus’ mighty Name! Praise the Lord!
