Ephesians 4:31-32; "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." In the scripture above, Apostle Paul was admonishing the church in Ephesus to be free from all form of anger, slander, and malice among brethren. He encouraged them to forgive one another because unforgiveness hinders the power of God. In the story of Moses, we read that he could not get into the promise land due to a simple disobedience and this disobedience to God was caused by anger. Anger can hinder the glory of God from manifesting in our lives, you can lose your salvation when your anger can't be controlled. To some people, these weaknesses are inherited, to some others, they are strongholds built in their minds due to their environment while to another it's through association with friends or colleagues and these strongholds has limited t...

Promotion is an advancement in rank or position. Everyone needs to desire promotion. It is a gift from God. Bible says in Psalm 75:6-7; "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." As believers, we have to look unto God for our promotion not neglecting hard work, as promotion is a reward. However, due to high competition in the world today and in some fields of job or operations, some people are denied their rights to promotion but as you pray this prayer along, the God of justice will restore you or catapult you to your deserved/desired level in life. SCRIPTURES Psalm 75:6-7; "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." Genesis 39:5; "And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, t...

MID-FEBRUARY PRAYER AND FASTING. (DAY 3) A thought is the product of mental activity. When a thought is dwelt upon long enough, it becomes an action. On the positive side, this can produce much good. It is not sinful to have an evil thought as this is the way that we are all tempted by the devil. However, the sin comes into play when we dwell on the evil thought or any thought that is against the Word of God. As that thought takes root in our heart and our minds it will eventually bear its deadly fruit. Philippians 4:8 says; "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." PRAYER POINT AGAINST UNCLEAN THOUGHTS SCRIPTURE: Psalm 51:10 PRAYER POINT: O' Lord create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit with me in the name of Jesu...

MID-FEBRUARY PRAYER AND FASTING (DAY 2) Divine Provision is the supernatural supply that comes from God. You can experience God’s superabundant provision in every area of life. In the scripture, we find it written that God has great plans for us and I personally do not think that lack and insufficiency will make a good definition of great plans. Jeremiah 29:11 says; "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."(NIV). Never for once think that a God that takes good pleasure in giving good gifts unto His children will contradict Himself by willing a life of nakedness and want for His children. No! That cannot be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the bible. PRAYER POINT ON DIVINE PROVISION SCRIPTURE: Psalm 34:10 PRAYER POINT: Heavenly Father, I come against every want and hunger around me, I shall not be in want of any good thing in Jesus name! SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:1...

MID-FEBRUARY PRAYER AND FASTING (DAY 1) Divine protection comes from God, the maker of heaven and earth. Those who look elsewhere for divine protection have gone astray. This prayer of divine protection is bible based. It is a compilation of God’s promises in the scripture to serve as a protection for his children. For example, this is what the scripture says in Psalm 121:1-8: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Are you in imminent danger?...

PRAYER FOR DIVINE FAVOR Favor is an act performed out of good will, generosity, or mercy. An approving attitude. Divine favor makes the difference in our everyday life. If the Lord favors you, many things in your life will become easy. The word of God does not come void, so if we start praying and decreeing His word, favor will pursue us and overtake us in Jesus name. The favor of God can be described as “tangible evidence that a person has the approval of the Lord.” When we favor someone, we want to be with him or her. We delight in him/her. We connect with him/her in a way we don’t connect with everyone else. We usually favor people who also favor us. In the same way, God shows favor to the ones who delight in, connect with, and give honor to Him. Isaiah 66:2 says, “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” 2 Chronicles 16:9 says, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show ...

MID-JANUARY GROUP PRAYER AND FASTING.(DAY 3) THE PEACE OF GOD WILL GUARD YOUR HEART. Philippians 4:6-7; "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.(ESV) Your heart is a very vital part of your body. Just like the heart is the center of operation of  human life in respect to blood flow, so is the heart the center of the total personality in respect  to feelings, intuition and emotion. The heart is important to the devil just as the heart is important to God. When you worry, you  expose your heart to vices of the devil, wrong thoughts, wrong emotions and wrong feelings finds a  way into your heart and gives the devil a chance to operate in your life. Bible says in Proverbs 4:23; "Guard your heart above all else, for it det...

MID-JANUARY GROUP PRAYER AND FASTING.(DAY 2) RECEIVE HEALING THROUGH GOD'S WORD Psalm 107:19-20; "Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction."(ESV) The scripture above says in verse 20; that the word of God heals us from sickness and diseases, it also delivers us from trouble and destruction. You can imagine how vital the word of God is. It is food to the spirit, energizing us for a victorious life in Christ Jesus.That is why the scripture says in Hebrews 4:12; "For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.(NLT) Every other weapon may cut or destroy the flesh and whole body but only the word of God can penetrate to cutting between soul and spirit. The word of God is so m...

MID-JANUARY GROUP PRAYER AND FASTING (DAY 1) 1 Timothy 2:1; "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior" (NLT) The bible says that it is pleasing in the sight of God when we pray for other people. If you focus so much on yourself when you pray, God is not pleased with it, even we humans see it as selfishness when someone is so personal about everything. Be encouraged to pray for those in need, for family, for nations, for ministries, for lost souls and God will meet you at your needs. Jesus said in Matthew 6:8; "Don't be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!(NLT). Stop requesting over and over, intercede for someone and God will meet you at your need. PRAYER Dear...

What is Fear? Fear is an unpleasant emotion or thought. It is the feeling you get when you are afraid or worried that something bad is going to happen. The feeling of fear has to be one of the greatest impediments to human progress. It is the unfounded fear that is within you that is undermining your confidence, determining who you are, and jeopardizing all your real hopes of success in Christ Jesus. Fear can be real or imaginary, and you experience it because of your perception or misjudgment of a situation. It causes you to feel anxiety, insecurity, and a complete lack of positive feeling. There's a growing tendency for you to become hesitant or procrastinate. You are not able to think sensibly or logically. Fear imposes limitations upon your potentials and ability, and in the process ruins your relationships with God and with others. If you permit your mind to habitually dwell on countless negative thoughts, the resultant will be fear. The fear is just as numerous. You...

Growth is improvement or development towards maturity. When someone is born again, as a child of God you are like babies in Christ and you are expected to grow. Babies are immature physically and mentally, but we expect them to develop and grow, if they don't, then there is a problem. The body of Christ is also expected to grow as individual members mature, it leads to the congregation becoming mature. Ephesians 4:14-15; "Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church." PRAYER POINTS Prayers, Declarations and Confessions SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:16 PRAYER POINT: O' Lord, Strengthen me in the inner man in the name of Jesus. SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:17  PRAYER POINT: ...

3-DAY END OF YEAR PRAYER AND FASTING (DAY 1). (Online Bible Study and Prayer outreach is where we pray with the word of God.

God is pleased with those who believe and trust him, the bible says in Hebrews 11:6; "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." We must believe that "he is"; meaning that he exist. If we truly "know" that he exist, then we can trust him with all our heart. If we trust him, it will produce hope, and hope sustained leads to patience. As the bible says in Psalm 25:3; "No one who hopes on the Lord will ever be put to shame". Job trusted God and his situation changed. He said in the book of Job 23:10; "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold". Today, as you are going through that situation, it is an opportunity for you to "COME OUT AS GOLD". Your finances will come out as gold, your job will come out as gold, your ministry will come out as gold, you marriage will c...

Prayer doesn’t need to be a ritual or a habit. Prayer  should  change us, silence us, and be the pursuit of a continual communication with the Lord. Pray to God not just in times of trouble, but as a continual journey. James 4:3 says that “You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.” Approach the Lord with confidence to receive mercy, grace and forgiveness, and pray for help. He desires us to come to him, daily. Make time to pray alone. This means unplug from any media, technology, and away from others. Be honest with God. You won’t be able to hide it anyway, so be real during prayer. It is a two-way relationship, and Jesus is always interceding on our behalf. Prayer Dear Father, We thank you for these words, we come to you today with our heart full of expectations, let our fellowship with you renew our mind and let your will be accomplished in our lives in Jesus name!

God the Father is supreme, he created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1). When we pray, we pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus, God the Son, and his manifestation comes to us through God the Holy Spirit. So we pray to the FATHER in the name of JESUS. Jesus said in John 16:23; "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you". Therefore, we give glory to the Father, the Son(JESUS) and the Holy Spirit but we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. Prayer Dear Father, we thank you for Jesus and we pray that you give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowledge of you. We pray that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened and we commit our whole being into your mighty hands in Jesus name! Read more at www.obspoministries.org
