LIGHT WORD

LightWord: “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 Be prayerful. If you desire to see your dreams become reality, cultivate a life of prayer. Nothing of lasting value happens by accident. You might think some good things just happened without praying, but someone may have been standing in the gap on your behalf. Still, there’s a limit to how far someone else’s prayers can carry you . No one can present your personal desires before God with the same understanding, passion, and consistency that you can. Take responsibility for your future by bringing your desires before God in prayer. As Jabez cried unto the Lord and experienced divine enlargement, God is still answering sincere prayers today. Say this to yourself: Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege to come boldly into Your presence through prayer. Help me to remain steadfast and effective in my prayers. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

LightWord: “Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him.” Psalms 100:4 MSG Whatever your desire may be, victory over battles seen or unseen, overcoming the enemy, living a better life, or enjoying God’s fullness, it can all be acquired through Christ. The key is approaching Him according to His Word and His will. Scripture instructs us to enter His presence with thanksgiving. It also declares, “Offer unto God thanksgiving” (Psalm 50:14), and “Whoever offers praise glorifies Me” (Psalm 50:23). Thanksgiving ushers you into His presence , and when God is with you, no force of darkness can stop His purpose for your life. Say this to yourself: My Father and my Lord Jesus Christ, I come before You with a heart full of praise. Let my thanksgiving be pleasing and acceptable in Your sight, now and forever. Thank You, Jesus. Amen!

LightWord: “Know this: GOD is God, and God, GOD.”  Psalms 100:3 MSG In the story of the ten lepers, all ten were healed, but only one returned to appreciate Jesus, and his thanksgiving was counted as faith. True thanksgiving is not only about thanking God for what He does today, But also remembering His past faithfulness, acknowledging His goodness.  Our praise doesn’t make God become GOD, nor does our silence diminish who He is . He is God all by Himself and will forever be. Say this to yourself:  Father, I acknowledge that You are God all by Yourself. Grant me the grace to praise, honor, and bless You always. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

LightWord: “...Your faith has healed and saved you.”  Luke 17:19 MSG One of the greatest secrets to receiving God’s best is thanksgiving. For me, around 85 percent of my daily prayers are thanksgiving, because I’ve learned that  gratitude is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to experience His goodness . In Luke 17, ten lepers were healed, but only one returned to thank Jesus. And that thankful heart was counted as faith, he was the only one that was made whole by Jesus. ( Luke 17:15-19 ). Say this to yourself:  Father, thank You for all You have done for me and my family. I receive the grace to live a life of gratitude today. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

LightWord: “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.” Psalms 92:1-2 Every genuine desire begins with a heart that recognizes God’s goodness. Before asking God for more, learn to thank Him for what He has already done. Scripture says it is a good thing to give thanks, morning and night. Those who cultivate gratitude open the door to greater expressions of His favor . I’ve never seen a sincere worshipper stranded in life. I have seen diverse breakthroughs and testimonies in my life, and of many via genuine thanksgiving; you are the next. Say this to yourself: Lord Jesus, forgive me for every past wrong. Fill my heart with genuine gratitude and make me a sincere worshipper and thanksgiving giver. From today, I choose to praise You in every season of my life, trusting that You are leading me into the fulfillment of my desires, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “I bless GOD every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.” Psalms 34:1 MSG The psalmist said “I bless the Lord every chance I get,” because he knew every opportunity sustained by God was another opportunity to experience His goodness. That’s why he could say, “My lungs expand His praise.” It was like breathing for him, making room for more joy, more strength. So, I encourage you, bless God every chance you get. Let gratitude become your breath. Thank Him for His fingers and you will begin to see His hand at work in your life. Say this to yourself: Jesus, I bless You in every season. My lungs expand with Your praise, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “I bless GOD every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.” Psalms 34:1 MSG Cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude. Give thanks to God always, for what He has done in the past and for what He is doing now. That's the way to acquire your desire from God. Complaints keep you stuck, praise lifts you up, that birth the saying, if you complain you will remain, if you praise, you will be raised. Do not be a great fool! Don’t forget God’s benefits. Thank Him for what you have before asking for more . Say this to yourself:  Lord Jesus, You are the reason for my life. To You belong all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise. I bless Your name today and always, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Psalms 100:4 One of the greatest ways to obtain what seems impossible is thanksgiving. Appreciate God first for who He is, Creator and Savior in all His dimensions. Then, thank Him for the gift of life itself. Many people long to see another day, but don't have the opportunity; desires become invalid and great dreams are terminated. So, you should worship Him for the breath of life that makes you a living soul today, to hope for the morrow, ( Isaiah 38:18 ). Say this to yourself: Father, I am so grateful for the privilege to be alive today. Thank You for giving me hope for the fulfillment of my desires, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.” Philipians 2:13 AMP It's always a great joy for one to see his desire become a reality. But most of the time, desire not being acquired makes one tired. The simple truth is that knowing what is available is not enough than knowing how to obtain what is available. It's not enough to dream but to do. Somebody wisely said "when you wake up from dreaming, start doing". If you are desperate to acquire your heart desires, you must walk in faith and act upon it. Say this to yourself: Father, let Your grace be sufficient for me. Strengthen my faith, and direct my steps, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables...” Habakkuk 2:2 I believe there are desires in your heart, dreams you want to see fulfilled. If you haven’t already, take a moment to write down three (3) important things you’d like to see become real, even sooner than you expect. When you have a clear vision, it gives you focus. It's important for you to also know that anything you desire is available, and once it is available it can be obtainable . All things are possible! Don’t give up on what God has placed in front of you. Say this to yourself: Thank You Jesus, because by Your grace I will acquire every desire You have placed in my heart, even sooner than I think, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “…and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.” Genesis 11:6 AMPC Before you get that godly wife/husband, before you break the addiction, you have to see it happening in your imagination. Nothing defines destiny like mentality; because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he . Today, instead of thinking about your problems, think about God’s promises. Get a vision for what He has in store for your future. Imagine yourself living in victory. Imagine yourself healed. Imagine yourself walking in abundance. Imagine yourself blessing other people. Just imagine what God has in store for you because nothing is impossible with Him! Say this to yourself: Father, help me to see myself the way You see me so that I can imagine and live in the blessing You have in store for me in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “…and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.” Genesis 11:6 AMPC How often do you stop and think about what you are thinking about? So often, people live with their minds on autopilot, taking in whatever thoughts come their way. But if we are going to rise up higher the way God intends, we have to determine to make sure our thoughts line up with God’s thoughts. Seven times in the Scripture, God asks, “ What do you see? ” God is interested in our vision. Before your dream comes to pass, you have to see yourself accomplishing that dream. You’ve got to get a picture of it. The truth is, the future you did not picture, mm mm cannot feature in it. Say this to yourself: Father, today I set my heart and mind on You. Give me Your vision for my future in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 Grace is not just a topic. Grace is a person, Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth. There are dimensions of grace abounding, grace upon grace, great grace, more grace, exceeding grace, and sufficient grace. As you walk with Jesus, His sufficient grace enables you to fulfill your divine destiny with ease and victory. Say this to yourself: ‘Father, thank You for revealing Your sufficient grace through Jesus Christ. I declare that Christ is my sufficiency. By His grace, I will fulfill my divine destiny, overcome every challenge, and walk in victory all the days of my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 Another good news about this grace is that He receives you as you are, but never leaves you the same . As you commune with Him, His grace transforms you from one level of glory to another. If you truly need this sufficient grace, in which I know you do. I mean the sufficient grace of God which is Jesus Christ. For the Scripture above is completely talking about Jesus Christ. The Word that was made flesh, that's Jesus! Who's the only begotten of the Father, that's Jesus! Jesus, full of grace and truth. Say this to yourself: ‘Lord Jesus, I acknowledge You as the only sufficient grace I need. Come into my life and let Your grace continually transform me in every season.’ in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:7 Grace makes a way when every road seems closed. It turns impossibilities into testimonies and makes ordinary people wonders on the earth. Allow this exceeding grace to reorder your life according to God’s purpose, just as He is working in mine. Once grace comes, you discover it is completely sufficient. Will you join me in reflecting on this hymn? ‘Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found; was blind, but now I see.’ Say this to yourself: ‘Lord Jesus, come into my life afresh. Let the exceeding riches of Your grace be revealed in me, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

LightWord: “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 The simple truth is that Grace attract favor and mercy. Esther wasn't qualified for the position of a queen, not even to become the king's secretary but Scripture says, she obtained grace and favor. (Read Esther 2:17 ) Likewise Paul the apostle said he's not worthy to be called an Apostle, not at all, but God's grace located him and transformed his life. Grace qualified the unqualified . Like Esther and Paul, grace rewrites stories. The same grace is coming upon you today in abundance in the name of Jesus. Say this to yourself: Thank You Father for Your grace. I decree and declare that my mind is alert, my heart is receptive to receive the Sufficient Grace of God into my life to experience a complete change of story in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” 2 Peter 1:2 Once you have a genuine, heartfelt encounter with grace, it's always sufficient. According to our focal Scripture of today, it shows you can run out of the covering of grace or abuse the power thereof by doing nothing with the grace you have received. Grace multiplies through knowing God more. Keep growing hungry for Him, don't settle. In so doing, the grace will keep multiplying, performing its wonders. Say this to yourself: Oh Lord, I want more of You, deepen my understanding in knowing You the more and the work of Your grace that I may be a bonafide product of Your grace, running the race of life with ease. Thank You Lord! In Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.” Zechariah 4:7 Grace does not consult systems . It suspends protocols and turns Impossibilities into possibilities. Grace is all you need! My quick discovery of grace gets me recovered very early in life. I'm a product of grace. There is nothing that is so special about me, no extra skills, nothing, but the grace of God has made me today. What God did through me by grace He can do for you. Say this to yourself: Father, I'm done with the life of torment, I'm entering into the life of enjoyment by Your Grace in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.” Zechariah 4:7 You will run the race of life with ease when Grace is behind the scene. Grace makes all your challenges of no effect to you irrespective of the sizes, even if it's as great as a mountain. It won't affect you a bit, and you will continue with your life shouting, testifying grace grace is what is making it so. Grace heals you before the appearance of any symptoms of sickness in your body, so He keeps you healthy at all times. It is called anti-sickness ( read 1 Peter 2:24). Say this to yourself: Thank You Father because Your sufficient grace will make me live a sufficient life in Jesus' name. Amen!
