2 Cor 2:10-13, Rev 1:10, 2 Chron 29:17-18
• If you are not in the spirit, you won’t see and hear God.
• If you can’t hear God, everything will appear normal and natural to you.
• When God does visits us, He chooses an encounter to last with us so that we capture that moment and remember it for a long time.
• Your remembrance of an encounter you had with God makes it to last for a long time.
• In dealing with men, God sometimes uses physical tokens to make people remember.
• Even the Holy Spirit needs you to have images.
• An encounter with God is memorable and your thinking of that encounter makes God to change its dimension around your life.
• Behind every celebration, there is someone receiving the glory.

Prov 18:1
• Desire will lead a man to separate himself.
• When he’s separated himself, he will go on a journey of seeking.
• The end result of this journey of seeking is that he will interact with wisdom.
Gen 18:32-33, 17-18, 25
• If you don’t have a stake in the spiritual realm you will always suffer shame and reproach in the physical realm.
• The world we are in will always be influenced by spirits.
Ezek 22:30
• If satan has found some agents in the land that are cooperating with his agenda and ideas , that land will go in the direction of his agenda until God finds men in that land to cooperate with His agenda.
• It’s not up to God who should be protected or not.
• It will take a man to stand somewhere and cause the covering of God to be over a territory.
• God is looking for a man through whom He can bring forth His agenda.
• One Christian could be covered while another is experiencing something totally different.
• What one church experiences could be totally different from what another church is experiencing.
• It depends on what we do with what God says.
• God reveals His plan the same way to everyone but how many are willing to cooperate with Him?
• It is not God who decides which marriage will experience bliss or divorce.
• It is not God who decides who prospers and doesn’t.
• There is a separation that is required for an encounter.
• God is looking at the hearts to see which men are hungry for a change.
• Age can be your disadvantage, there is no age satan will tell you is an advantage.
• When you are young he will tell you that you are too young while when you are old he will tell you that time has passed.
• The best age is your age.
• Don’t accept your condition.
• God is looking for someone who is unhappy with his present status, who has a desire to change things and is looking for a way out.

• You must be separated from the usual.
• There is a place where you and God meet but for you to get there you have to be separated from some things that desire your attention.
• Many Christians play with God and they could learn some things from satanists.
• There is no democracy in our walk with the Holy Spirit.
• How can God entrust His agenda to us when our commitment is not to Him?
• Even satan cannot work with someone who is not committed to him.
• Every one of us must be used by God, it is not just pastors.
• You can’t be a representative of someone you have not met.
• Abraham was not a pastor but a businessman yet he was so committed to God.
Psalm 24:3
• You don’t meet God in your circumstances, you have to move from them, you have to separate.
• God knows what your interest is, He knows what is number one to you.
• When you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is check which messages have come to your phone, He knows what your interest is.
• When you wake up in the middle of the night and the first thing you do is check your phone, He knows what your interest is.
• How do you expect to carry something when you are not separated?

• The prayer of inquiry is greater than the prayer for breakthrough.
• The prayer of inquiry is about asking questions and receiving answers.
• The prayer of inquiry brings out insight and direction. This is what makes it to be more powerful than other prayers people pray.
• Where there is direction , there is divine partnership.
• When the Lord is directing you, you can’t go wrong.
• When we are talking about the prayer of inquiry, we are talking about the what, why and how of our circumstances.
• This prayer doesn’t just give you information about the situation you are facing but gives you direction about what to do to solve it.
• Knowing a way out is far superior to just quoting scriptures.
• Prayer of inquiry gives you intelligence information about what you are dealing with.
• You can fight a war without intelligence information that will make you to fight precisely.
• Wherever there is direction, God is involved.
• To have direction is to have the partnership of God guaranteed.
• To inquire of the Lord is to ask to be guided.
Job 34:32, 2 Kings 7:3, Josh 7:5-26
• We don’t know many things that are hindering us.

• What does inquiry mean?
1. To ask for information
2. To question
3. To investigate
4. To examine
5. To explore
6. To probe
7. To dig deeper

WHY MUST WE INQUIRE IN PRAYERS?
Dan 5:11-12
1. To unlock ancient disturbing mysteries waging war against you
• Our battles are spiritual.
2. To reveal the root cause of what you are going through for so long without understanding why
(2 Sam 21:1)
• Behind every long-standing issue is a matter that we need to know.
• If we don’t know the matter, what we see in the physical can remain.
• There are mysteries behind challenges.

3. To know what is behind complex, repeated and prolonged attacks in your life
4. To dissolve coded mysteries and issues shrouded in darkness and yet they’re frustrating our lives (Dan 5:12)
• To expend energy in the wrong direction is frustrating.
• To fire bullets at no target at all is quite wasteful

5. To see the opening on the wall to access the secrets of God (Ezek 8:7)
• What God reveals to you is superior to what you are facing.
6. To dislodge enemies out of their hiding places (Mic 7:17)

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
1. God is the custodian of secrets (Deut 29:29)
• There is no secret thing that God does not know.
2. God is the revealer of secrets (Jer 33:3, Dan 2:19-23).

Gen 25:21-23

Eccl 3:1-2, Luke 8:5-11
• The whole earth runs on the seed principle.
• The main seed that produces different kinds of harvests is the word of God.
• If the seed is the word of God, it important for you as a Christian to understand some things about a seed if you are going to succeed in your walk with God.
• Luke 8:5-11 describes different attitudes and value systems people have towards God and His word.
• Many Christians will not survive the next pandemic because of their attitude.
• If there was no social media, many people that died during the last pandemic would not have died.
• Fear should be a revelation – showing you what you are lacking.
• When you are so afraid, it should be a clear sign to you that you do not have faith in that area.
• The four different kinds of hearts are found in church and regularly attend church.
• You must be careful with your words and actions because they are seeds and will give you a harvest one day.
• If you begin to ask yourself what to do in order to turn a seed into a harvest, you will begin to seek profit from the word of God.
• You cannot harvest if you do not do what is required in order to have a harvest.
• It doesn’t end with planting.
• Planting is just a first step.
• Every good farmer knows that he shouldn’t just rush to plant because it is raining, but must be prepared for every stage the crop must go through in order to produce a bumper harvest
• Planting a seed without being ready to go through all the stages the seed must go through is labouring is in vain
• Satan doesn’t trouble Christians at the same level.
• For some, he can even let them pray and fast but has taken advantage of the fact that there are certain things that are required for them to see a harvest that they will not do.
• You fight better when you have intelligence, sometimes generalised prayers are not helpful.
• Before you wage a spiritual war, get information about what you need to deal with.
Heb 10:36, Psa 84:7
• We inherit the promises after we have done the will of God, not after we have started doing the will of God.
• Assembling ourselves together is part of the will of God.
• Assembling together will help you to avoid the traps of the devil.
• Assembling together will help you to avoid backsliding and falling into temptation because we encourage each other.
• There is strength in appearing where God is.
Jam 5:6, Heb 11:6
• Steadfastness helps you to stay on track with God.
• We need the spirit of steadfastness to stay with God.
• To be steadfast is to be consistent.
• It is steadfastness that leads to resilience – you stand until the end.
• Any Christian who truly knows God will never boycott God, God will never be a problem and His house will never be a problem.
• If you faint, you have lost your harvest (Gal 6:9).
Gen 32:26, Job 14:14
• If you are not committed today, your commitment of yesterday is forgotten.
• If you are in it, be in it for the long haul.

Joel 2:20-27, 1 Sam 30:7-9
• God’s way of restoration is to bring in a breakthrough and through that breakthrough you will recover the years that you have lost.
• He will make you step into something whose proceeds will cover the lost years.
• Since man fell, restoration is an important aspect of the Christian walk because there is an enemy who is against fulfillment of destinies.
• The Holy Spirit must be involved in any restoration that will take place in the life of the believer.
• The Holy Spirit is the spirit of restoration.
• When something big is about to come your way, be careful with distractions and negative things that will come your way which don’t look like where God wants to take you. That is the work of the enemy.
• If you focus on the negative, you will not have faith in God for what He is about to do.
• When the economy gets so bad and you are focusing on the economy, you have missed what He is about to do.
• When God wanted to rescue the children of Israel from slavery, their oppressors increased their burden.
• God doesn’t work according to our systems.
• To experience restoration, you need to be sensitive, you need to rise above circumstances so that you can hear what others cannot hear and see what others cannot see.
• To hear from God, you need to have a sober mind.
• You can sing songs, worship God just to clear your mind.
• As you are seeking for restoration, you will come to a point where all the zeal, encouragements that came with you will go.
• There will be a separation between those who are serious and those who are not.
• Understand that it is not going to be easy.
• You have to pursue until you get it.

WHAT ARE THE FORCES THAT FACILITATE RESTORATION?
1. DESIRE (Mark 11:24)
2. REVELATION OF WHAT YOU LOST (Gen 13:14-15, Eph 1:17-19)
• You cannot pursue recovery of what you don’t know.
• Revelation will lead to discovery and discovery will lead to recovery.
• You can’t recover what has not been discovered.

3. FAITH IN GOD (Heb 11:6)
• Have faith in God’s restoration power.
• Have faith that God means what He says and you can have what He says you can have.

4. PRAYER (Gen 32:24-28, 1 Chr 4:9-10)
• This is not a prayer that you pray once and forget about, it is a prayer that needs to be re-enforced.
• You need to engage the Holy Spirit as the spirit of grace and supplication.
• Without prayer there can be no restoration.

5. THE FORCE OF THE PROPHETIC (Isa 44:26, 2 Kings 7:1, 8:5, Ezek 37:4, 7, 9-10)
• Restoration is provoked by speakings.
• When God wants to bring about restoration:
a. He may send a man to speak to your moment for the restoration to take place
b. He may stir your spirit and in that moment, you need to be the prophet of your own destiny and speak restoration based on the revelation you have been given.

6. THE FORCE OF STEADFASTNESS (Luke 22:28-30, Gal 6:9, 2 Tim 4:1-2, Luke 19:12-13)
• In the last days, there will be many satanic assaults that will make people give up.
• If you are going to recover you need to be steadfast.
• To be steadfast means you are immovable, regardless of circumstances.
• There will be a lot of temptations that can make you give up.
• If you give up, will you recover anything?
• Steadfastness makes you keep doing things.
• Many people do good things but don’t continue until they see results.
• It is tireless giving and service that will make you see results.
• “I used to serve God,” is not good enough.
• In the kingdom of God, when you stop doing good things, you abort your harvest.
• Someone worked, fought and stood for every good thing you can admire today.
• This spirit is a spirit that keeps us going season in and season out in our stewardship to God.
• If you started believing God for something and along the way you stop, you have lost what you were believing for.

7. THE FORCE OF GRATITUDE (Col 2:7, Phili 4:6-7)

Rev 4:1-2
• Every time God wants to open a new door, chapter , season for somebody, He will give an instruction.
• What we call an open door is actually an instruction.
• An instruction is supposed to be obeyed.
• Your next chapter will depend on an instruction and your obedience to the same.
Luke 21:15, Prov 1:1-2, 10:13, 4:1-2, 13 , 5:13
• It is instructions that make high-flyers.
• All kingdom high-fliers are men of instructions.
• Instructions are meant to be obeyed.
• In this kingdom, everything that is working in somebody’s life is because they obeyed an instruction.
Job 33:14-25
• An instruction from the Lord can turn everything around, if obeyed.
• It can open a new chapter in your life, if obeyed.
• In the kingdom of darkness, any deviation from an instruction given to you may spell the end of your life.
• Christians have not learned to obey instructions.
Jer 33:3, 2 Chr 20:6-11, 14-17, John 2:5, Gen 22:2, 12, Luke 5:4-6
• Don’t be the kind of person that prays but doesn’t listen for instructions.
• Satan will fight you concerning obeying an instruction because he knows an instruction will make the difference between where you are and where you must be.
Ezek 36:26-27, Jam 4:7
• Prompt obedience will bring speed to your life.
• Until your obedience is in place, you cannot punish disobedience.
• As long as you are under authority, you are in authority.
• God means well for us but disobedience to an instruction will make you stay at the same spot and it will appear as though God is not helping you
• In the school of faith, obedience is a major course.
• Every next level of yours is waiting for your obedience.
Job 22:22, 2 Kings 4:3
• Instructions are a way to an open door, opportunity, your next level.
• Behind an instruction is a promotion, a lifting.
• Instructions are highways to life.

Prayer Point:
LORD, BAPTISE ME AFRESH TO NEXT HIGHER LEVELS WITH THE SPIRIT OF PROMPT OBEDIENCE.
[EZEKIEL 36:26-27]

• In life and destiny, you need to come to a point where you make decisions that you stand by – decisions that are based on what you believe in.
• Decisions are very important in life.
• Decisions to leave one job and take up another.
• Decisions on who to marry.
• Decisions on what you need to do in order to excel regardless of what may be coming against you.
• If you don’t make decisions, nothing changes.
• A lot of people are comfortable to be torn between two things, they don’t know what they want.
• If you don’t have a focus, you will not make decisions.
• People who achieve things make tough decisions and stand by them.
• When it comes to their family, they make tough decisions and stand by them.
• Our decisions define us.
• If it’s believing, choose believing, and if it is doubting, choose that but don’t choose both.
• For you to be bear fruit, you need to be established in your decision.
• There is no tree that is constantly moving that bears fruit.
• You need to be bold enough to make decisions that are good for your life and family.
• To pray and fast is a decision.
• To be prayerful is a decision.
• To live right before God is a decision.
• To want to achieve things that God has promised is a decision.
• God doesn’t like people who are undecided, satan doesn’t like them either.
• Decisions decide our future.
• If your company is not doing alright, it may require you to make tough decisions.
• For instance if your company is not doing alright and you have 10 employees, you may need to prune 6 in order for the company to survive. You might have made relationships with those employees but you need to make that decision for the good of the company. That decision can help the company to grow bigger and who knows, in future you can bring back those employees you had to prune.
• If you are the kind of person who is afraid of people’s opinions when making decisions for your life, your life will go in the wrong way and those people you are afraid of will make right decisions for their lives.
• Don’t be afraid to make the right decision for your life.
• Get all the information you need, pray about it, and make that decision.
• No one can choose for you, they can give you advice but you have to make the decision for yourself.
• Whenever the devil wants to destroy a person’s future / vision, he gives him another vision so that he gets confused.
• If you are chasing two things, your energy will be wasted.
• We make decisions every day in life.
Mark 10:41-42, 1 Kings 18:24, Genesis 3:12
• For some, the reason why they are stuck is because they have not decided.
• If someone makes a decision for you, you won’t take responsibility.
• Decisions are not always easy.
• Some decisions will make you lose friends.
• Some decisions will make you gain friends.
• Everything we do, we have to decide.
• If you are married, you will be faced with so many decisions concerning your spouse.

• Only when a man decides to think in the light of what God has done will he become truly thankful.
• Thanksgiving requires thinking and reflecting.
• If you do not think through to list the things that God has done for you, your thanksgiving will be limited.
• If you truly think about what He has done and what He has said, you will prevent yourself from grumbling and complaining.
• What is coming ahead or what you think you have not achieved will not bother you so much if you think of what He has done before.
• When you see people are offended with God, it is because they have become ungrateful and they begin to find fault with Him.
• A truly grateful person will not find room to complain.
• Your way upward and through that barrier is actually thanksgiving.
• When you are not thankful to God, you are actually telling Him that you need to be removed from where you are.
• When you are not thankful to God, you don’t trust Him to take you to where you want to go.

WHY DO WE GIVE GOD THANKS?
1. WE OWE GOD THANKS (Luke 17:17-19, Psa 150:6)
• We have a debt of thanksgiving to God for every good thing that He has done for us.
• If you don’t thank God for what you have right now, you will never have more.
• Every human being has a debt to God, including those who don’t know Him.
• Having breath is the qualification to praise God.
• Your faith in God is expressed by you giving Him thanks.

2. THANKSGIVING FACILITATES MULTIPLICATION OF EVERYTHING (Jer 33:22, 30:19, 1 Cor 3:6)
• The way to increase things is not to complain that they are little but to give thanks for the little so that it becomes more.
• Only God gives increase.
• Start from where you, with what you have.
• The answer is with what we have but our eyes are looking at what we don’t have so as a result our hearts grow cold towards God.
• When satan wants to distract a man from his vision, he will give him another vision to focus on.
• If you are going to be copying another man, you will never rise to anything.
• Your own thing is what will make you great, not what you are copying.
• Looking at what other people have is a major reason why some people are ungrateful.
• Comparison is dangerous.
• Many will arrive in heaven not having achieved anything that was ordained for them because they were in stiff competition with others.

3. THANKSGIVING OPENS DOORS (Acts 16:25-26)

• To backslide is easy.
• It’s very easy to lose your walk with God while it takes time to build it up.
• Food plays an essential role to your body.
• All the functions our bodies are able to perform are because of the energy food provides to our bodies.
• Imagine how weak many people’s spirits are because they have not been fed.
• Your spirit is the one that fights battles.
• Your body is just being used by the spirit to launch attacks.
• In most cases, when the body is overfed, it even hinders the work of the spirit.
• None of us is as old as satan, the bible calls him an old serpent.
• He has so much experience and we cannot beat him with our human experience.
• On your own and without Jesus, you are nothing against satan.
• Satan knows all the weaknesses of men and has perfected the art of bringing people down.
• If God doesn’t help us, we won’t make it.
• Satan waits for an opportune time.
• Before that, he will watch your steps and your commitment.
• An evil day comes when you are off guard.
• Battles of life have no time table.
• When you think everything is alright, that is when the enemy will strike.

THE SPIRIT OF REVELATION (THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING)
Eph 1:17-19
• This spirit is the believer’s eyesight.
• This is not knowledge that you read in a newspaper, it is revealed knowledge that only God knows.
• When you see it, understand it and apply it, you rise above whatever you are facing.
• Revelation is the ability to see what God is saying in the word.
• This usually works with the spirit of wisdom because you need to apply what you see.
• Just hearing something is information. It becomes revelation when you see it.
• This spirit of revelation opens our spiritual eyes to see and opens our spiritual understanding of the truth of God’s word (Mat 13:23).
• The only word that will ever produce fruit in your life is the one you have understood.
• This spirit of revelation makes us to be of quick understanding in the knowledge of God and grants us access to the greatness of his power.
• When we are reading the word, this spirit makes us to see what others can’t see, including professors who teach theology.
• Revealed knowledge is superior to anything else.
• The revelation that comes from God is superior the the condition you are in, the circumstances, whatever you are seeing because the word of the Lord supersedes everything else.

WHY DO WE NEED THE SPIRIT OF REVELATION?
1. God has new things in store for us every day (Rom 11:33, 1 Cor 8:2, Lam 3:22-23)
• The little you know is not enough, there is more that God wants you to know on every subject matter.

2. Empowers our capacity to understand God’s word when we read or hear (John 16:12-13)
• Once you understand, faith is automatic.
• If you are still conscious of people laughing at you for carrying out what you hear from God, you’re still operating in the flesh.
• A spiritual man behaves like a mad man.
• Every time the agenda of satan is revealed through the spirit of revelation, that thing is over.
