Speaking from the throne of grace. I prophecy frm the book of Roman 4:17-18-God will raise men of substance to speak in your favour in high place.Every long-lost possession and inheritance shall be restored to you.Every of your little efforts will be crown with great success.You will shine as light to all and in every of your endeavours.Your little shall become thousands.Your thousands shall become millions and millions uncountable.You are moving from the valley to the mountain top.Heaven will give you divine encounter that you will never forget for the rest of your life in Jesus Mighty Name.
Provoking Divine Favour
There is a powerful product from heaven which gives victory to men and women. This is a programme from heaven that determines whether a person is a medicocre' who resides at the tail region or a high flier. There is a product from heaven that makes you stand out wherever you are. It lavishes on you the blessings of God. It goes ahead of the beneficiary to pave way for him and serves as a ladder to the top.
When divine favour gets you to the top nobody can pull you down. The bestowal of divine favour is supervised by God Himself. this product can transfer a man from the prison to the palace and from the pit to the palace within twenty-four hours. Favour beautifies destinies. it has a capacity to double God's glory on anyone. Favour eliminates struggles and grants easy ride into blessings. It also releases blessings in abundance. It enables you to obtain the good treasures of the Lord.
The Power of Favour
Divine favour gives you an imsight into your breakthroughs. It shortens the distance between your dreams and the realization of such dreams. Favour brings blessings to the works of your hands. And it causes you to lend to nations. Favour grants you entrance into divine revelation. Honoe and recognition always follow favour. Favour enables you to experience success in every area of your business undertaking. It is the guarantor of your successful projects. It will make the enemies to bow and be subjected.
It is the only needed panacea for a broken marriage to come alive. Favour will make people to compete with each other to do you god. Favour makes you get promotion if no other person receives promotion. Divine favour will always make a difference in your life. How do we then provoke divine favour?
Let us consider some relevant references: Luke 2:52: And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man
Jesus, our perfect example, when on earth, needed favour in order to succeed.
Luke 1:28: And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women
From this, we learn that there are levels of favour. It is possible t be highly favoured.
Isaiah 60:10: And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee
Favour brings the mercy of God to your life.
Psalm 30:7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled
Favour brings strength into one's life. That is the meaning of "Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong".
Psalm 44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them
It was the favour of God that granted victory unto the children of Israel.
Psalm 41:11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me
Proverbs 12:2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn
Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord
Domestic blessings are traceable to faour. Divine favour brings about divine approval. it secures divine approval. This will lead to divine backing. It is just like God having a great bias for a person that He will completely surround his life. God will look upon His own with kindness and where others are helpless he will receive help. Then, God will begin to pamper you. He will grant you an exception to the race when divine favour comes upon your life. God will then single you out for blessings. He will grant you a special favour.
High Favour
This blessing canot come without possessing the qualifications required in the Bible. Matthew 7:7 says: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:. Prayer will secure favour with God and with men.
When you are a candidate of divine favour, you shall be at advantage anywhere you are. God will have a friendly regard towards you. The Lord your God will then give you the type of concession he cannot give to others. Such a favour will distinguish you among multitudes of people.
When divine favour comes upon your life, you will stand out and no one can crush you. You will be a candidate of excellence and elegance. When God's favour comes, supernatural assistance of God becomes regular.
People will show interest in you without you lobbying for it. Such favour will hearald your arrival wherever you go. It will cause men to locate you and deliver your rights into your hands.
Do you need God's favour on you instantly? Make this confession twenty one times, "I calim divine favour in the name of Jesus"". With your proclamation, angels of favour are already at work in your life.
Great Transformations
When God's favour comes into your life as it happened to Joseph, anything can happen to you within twenty-four hours. It was within twenty-four hours that Joseph moved from the prison to the palace. It was within twenty-four hours that David moved from being a sheperd boy to a celebrity.
Divine favour will make somebody out of a nobody. Divine favour facilitates regular divine encounters. You become God's delight. Then, there will be divine preference irrespective of the qualification of men and women around you. You will be immunized against being wasted by the enemy.
When there is divine favour, it will engineer productive performance. God will begin to fight your battles for you and favour will station you as a spectator and you will watch the enemies go through distress.
Divine favour will grant you access into God's mystery and God will make you to soar higher above any contrary situation. God will supply creative wisdom from heaven, which will move your life forward.
How do we provoke God's favour upon our lives?
Proverbs 3:3-4: 3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
A Friend of God
"As a Christian sister, you should not get married and discover that just immediately after marriage there is confusion and problems. The first key to provoking God's favour according to Proverbs 3:3-4 is to become a friend of God. Mercy and truth never forsake a friend of God. It is one thing to become born again, it is another thing entirely to have a regular communion with the Holy Spirit. It is also another thing to work one's way into where God wants you to be.
Becoming God's favourite needs certain requirements. The friend of God will not lie; they do not steal neither live in fornication and adultery. They do not cheat others. They do not retain evil in their minds; they speak the truth in their hearts
Proverbs 3:3-4: 3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
True Holiness
The second key to provoking divine favour is to practise uncompromising holiness. This days the message of holiness is being relegated to the background. Many people are longing to have the gifts without the giver. They want prosperity without the giver. The Bible says: "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord". Since favour is the presence of God upon your life, it follows that without holiness there is no favour. If you are living an unholy life the, you are writing letters to disfavour.
Be A Blessing
The third key is to go out to be a blessing to others. Slefish people are never favoured. When you go out of your way to bless, then you become highly favoured. Like the widow of Zarphath. She went out of her way of satisfy the servant of God and she became highly favoured.
Sacrificial Giving
The fourth way to provoke divine favour is sacrificial giving. Many of us give tithes and offering but not sacrificially. When you want to see God's favour, then give sacrificially. Learn from the life of David who determined to give God what cost him something. He gave God an offering that pained him. He turned down the opportunity to give God what cost him nothing. When an offering is sacrificial then you are courting divine favour.
War Against Anti-favour's Spirit
The fifth way to provoke God's favour is to wage war against anti-favour spirits.
Pray for God's Favour
The sixth step to take is to pray specifically for favour. The more you pray for favour, the more you will come under the banner of favour:
Job 33:26: 3He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
It is possible to pray for God's favour. When you say the correct prayer, then things will begin to happen in your life. Every man of God, that is instrumental in expanding God's kingdom has received nothing but God's favour.
Receive divine favour today and you will no longer be the same again.
Everything done against me, to spoil my joy in this year, be destroyed, in the name of Jesus
I receive the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living, in the name of Jesus
O Lord, as Abraham received favour in your hands, let me receive your favour, so that I can excel, in the name of Jesus

Bible in One Year;
Jeremiah 40, 41, 42.

HYMN –(WE CHILDREN, LORD, HAVE COME)
*OUTLINE*
We are living in an age where everybody wants everything fast. There are fast-food, fast cars, jet planes, super computers and so on. Now, we want to put God in the same fast-lane and so we inadvertently pray 'fast prayers' for quick results. All we want to do is to push some buttons and have God respond quickly. That is wrong.
For the child of God. Prayer is a compulsory spiritual activity. We discover many times from the Scriptures that the Lord Jesus separated Himself from the people to pray. He also used several parables to teach on prayer.
For example, Luke 18:1-8, he emphasised that ought always to pray and not to give up. Throughout the Scriptures, much emphasis is placed on the importance of prayer in the life of the Christian.
Every time we pray, we are actually mounting pressure on the adversary. Too often, many wait until the pressure comes to them before they pray. The reason some Christian go through terrible ordeals in their lives is that they don't set themselves to pray early enough.
Get serious with your prayer life today and make the right changes for your spiritual development. It is laziness in prayer if you don't pray untill crisis comes.
Turn a new leaf today!

THEME: RELEASE YOUR FAITH
Memorise:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.John 14:12
Read: Mark 11:22-24
11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
11:23 For verily I say unto you, That 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.
11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
MESSAGE:
The ministry of signs and wonders is the ministry of God, and He reserves the right to partner with anyone He chooses (Hebrew 2:4). He can partner with someone operating in any of the five-fold ministries: apostle, prophets, pastors, teachers or evangelists. He can equally partner with ushers, choristers, instrumentalist, sanitation workers, etc. when God partners with even an ordinary choir member or instrumentalist, demons will flee! This happened in David’s life when God partnered with him as just a harp player (1Samuel 16:23). Never look down on yourself! God can work with anyone who is willing to cooperate with Him. Are you willing? Are you ready to meet with His requirements? Are you asking like some followers of Jesus once asked Him in John 6:28b:
“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?”
Here is His response to you in John 14:12:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
Note however, that if you desire to operate in the miraculous, you must be a person of faith. Why? Faith attracts God into the ordinary situations of life. It brings the divine into contact with the natural. In fact, in Mark 16:17-18, Jesus says if only you can believe in Him, signs will definitely follow you. Are you experiencing signs and wonders in your ministry? If you are not, it could be that you are not releasing your faith, not necessarily because you do not have faith. If you lack faith in God, you could never be born again in the first place. If you follow the steps to salvation and became born again, you definitely have faith. The same faith is required of you every time you go before God for something: whether to make a request, to worship or to praise Him. You need to release your faith. In Mark 11:22-23, Jesus says if only you can release your faith, you can command a mountain to move, and it will go to the destination that you have sent it. Faith is the key to the miraculous. When you lay your hands on the sick and pray for them, do you release your faith as well? If you refuse to release your faith, nothing will happen. When you pray, God looks for your faith before He acts on that prayer. Beloved, where is your faith? If you have faith, you will trust in God’s ability to meet your needs. If you have faith, you will have great expectations. If you have faith, you won’t seek any other alternative to God’s intervention. If you have faith, you will not be double-minded. Where is your faith? Release it today!
Key Point:
Faith is like an identity card that you must present whenever you go into God’s presence.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 25-27
Jeremiah 31:31-40
AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
HYMN 1: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4.Whenlife’s swift race is run,
Death’s cold work almost done
Be near to me.
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
HIS VOICE:
Memorise: ON that night could not the king sleep,and he commanded to bring the books of records of the chronicles,and they were read before the king. Esther 6:1.
Insight: Esther 6:1-10.
Psalms 37:1-7 says,
FRET not thyself because of evil doers,neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,and whither as the green herb.
Trust in the LORD,and do good:so shall thou dwell in the Land,and verily thou shall be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD;and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy ways unto the LORD;trust also in him:and he shall bring it to pass.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,and thy judgement as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD,and wait patiently for him:fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
The words of truth above that assures that those that belong to the Lord and trust in him,delighting themselves in his ways,remain secured and safe and shall at the end reap success, is the wisdom behind the victory of Mordecai over Haman.
As a result of pride, Haman purposed to get rid of Mordecai, unfortunately for him,the God whom Mordecai serves with the whole of his heart never sleeps nor slumber,and would never allow that the rod of the wicked should fall upon the lot of the righteous.
The Lord stood in the way of Haman,and because the heart of kings and men are before him,he stirred up king Ahasuerus,in a means to fight for his beloved,took away the king's eyes of slumber and lead him into the ancient records of good deeds,ensuring that Mordecai works of good won't go unrewarded,the king had no choice but to fulfil the mind of God for Mordecai.
I decree to you this morning, the Lord will see to it that your reward of good deeds will not fall unto the ground,
He will fight for you and plead your cause, where you can't go and defend yourself, the Lord who is the greatest advocate of all,who judges in righteousness will defend you,stand by you, be you stay and give you the rights that you deserve in Jesus name.
But,there is something i want you to lay to heart,the Lord fought for Mordecai through his past records of good deeds. Never you despise those little good deeds that comes your way, lay hold on every opportunity to do good, cast your bread upon many waters,for you cannot tell which one will yield its best. Stay with God no matter what,no good thing will He withhold from they that loves him.
Know this:I beseech you beloved of God, be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,knowing that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

Monday daily devotional by
Pastor E. A. Adeboye – When God
Gives Laughter
Topic: When God Gives Laughter [Monday 15,
May 2017]
Memorise: And think not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, that God is able of these stones to raise up
children unto Abraham. – Matthew 3:9
Read: Psalm 33:8-11 (KJV)
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the
heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of
the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 23-24,
Jeremiah 31:15-30, Hymn: Sing hymn 5
MESSAGE:
God makes you laugh when He turns His
prophecies into decrees. There is a difference
between prophecies and decrees. When you
hear “Thus says the Lord” that is a prophecy for
which you will need to wait to see its fulfilment.
In contrast, when God suddenly decides to issue
a decree, such as “Let there be light”, you will
know that your waiting period is over, as your
miracle will manifest immediately. In Genesis
1:3, when God said “Let there be light”, there
was no need to vote on it, and neither was
there any delay, because He had decreed it.
Psalm 33:8-9 says one reason why the whole
earth should fear God is that whenever He
speaks, it is done. All He has to do is to speak,
and the next moment, it is done. By the grace
of God, I have witnessed God operate in this
dimension. Sometime ago, a couple came to us
believing God for the fruit of the womb. I asked
them, “What kind of baby do you want” Their
response was simultaneous: the man wanted a
boy while his wife wanted a girl. So I said we
should better make it twins – a boy and a girl –
and both of them said “Amen”. Exactly nine
months after, the man was carrying his baby
boy and the wife was carrying her baby girl.
This season, God is saying let there be light,
healing, fruitfulness, increase, promotion, victory
over enemies and fullness of joy in your life, and
so shall it be!
Moreover, God makes you laugh when He
decides to show you His Almightiness. After
declaring that Sarah would have a child, she
laughed, but denied laughing when He asked her
why she laughed (Genesis 18:11-15). Then He
asked, “Is any thing too hard for the LORD?”
Every man definitely has his limits, and even
spirits are limited, but not the Father of spirits
(Hebrews 12:9). Hence, Luke 1:37 says nothing
is impossible with our God. He can suspend
physical laws and have His way any day.
Matthew 3:9 says this God can produce children
out of stones! Whatever the specialists have
said cannot hinder my God. Where they are
limited, He is not. The resources they lack, He
has in abundance. What they do not know, is
common knowledge to Him. His word is full of
power and gives direction to anything He wants
done. This is why I know that this season,
everything standing in your way to laughter shall
give way so that you can laugh. You shall laugh
last and your laughter shall be unstoppable!
Prayer Point: Father, for every couple trusting
You for the fruit of the womb in my local
assembly, Please give them laughter today!
