THE POWER OF A WOMAN IN DESTINY

Date: Thursday, December 18th, 2025 

Title: THE POWER OF A WOMAN IN DESTINY

Proverbs 31:3, Genesis 2:18

Marriage involves blending of spirits, and that is why who you marry can make or mar you. The Bible warns, “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings” (Proverbs 31:3). God Himself declared, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). These two scriptures show the two sides of the coin: a woman can either multiply your strength as a divine helper or drain it until you are empty. Men often underestimate the power of a woman in destiny. The devil knows this, so he seeks to use the wrong woman to derail a man, while God raises the right woman to help fulfil His programme.Eve was meant to be a helper, but by yielding to the serpent, she became the entry point of man’s fall. Sarah was ordained to birth nations, but impatience led her to push Abraham into birthing Ishmael, creating generational conflict. On the other hand, Abigail saved David from bloodguilt by wise counsel, and Elizabeth’s faith protected the destiny of John the Baptist. The difference is clear: a woman aligned with God multiplies strength; a woman yielded to the devil drains it. That is why you cannot marry based on beauty, charm, or convenience. You must ask: is this woman God’s helper for my assignment? Does she understand and align with the call of God on my life?Practically, men must ensure they marry women who know and fear God, and women must refuse to go with men who have no sense of destiny. Sisters, ask him, “What is your calling? What am I meant to help you with?” If his answer is vague or worldly, beware. Brothers, don’t be swayed by shape or speech—look for a woman who carries the spirit of help from God. When a marriage is God-ordained, strength multiplies and destiny is preserved. When it is man-arranged, strength is drained and destiny is endangered.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Do I see marriage as a destiny partnership, not just companionship? Am I discerning enough to recognize whether someone will multiply or drain my strength?

Prayer: Lord, connect me to destiny partners who will multiply my strength and deliver me from anyone who will drain it.

SUBJECT: BE THANKFUL ALWAYS! 

Memory verse: "In everything give thanks; for this is the Will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (First Thessalonians 5 vs 18.) 

READ: Read Psalm 92 vs 1 - 2; Ephesians 5 vs 20:

Psalm 9:1: It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High;

92:2: To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night,

Ephesians 5:20: Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

INTIMATION:

We have learned that every good thing that comes to us in this life comes by the grace of God. I believe that until we recognize this truth, we will never be the kind of thankful, and grateful people God desires us to be.

Often times, in giving thanks, we focus on our blessings and express our gratitude to God for them. But thanks should be on our lips every time. We can never say thank you enough to our parents, how much more to God. When thanksgiving becomes an integral part of your life, you will find that your attitude toward life will change. You will become more positive, gracious, loving, and humble.

The Scriptures expressly state that in all things God works for our good if we love Him and are the called by Him (Romans 8 vs 28). God is perfect, and takes His time to prepare the called to serve appropriately His preplanned purposes. The preparation involves experiencing troubles, or difficulties, or rejection, and so on. Rest assured that such experiences are for His purpose.

Are you experiencing tribulations, or afflictions, perils, or distress, or persecution, or rejection? Whatever you are experiencing, thank God, not for your problems but for the strength He is building in you through the difficult experiences of your life. You can be sure that God’s perfect love will see you through, and at the end, you will be justified, and subsequently glorified, if you love Him, and are among the called by Him (Romans 8 vs 30).

Such experiences can come from anywhere, including your immediate family. You can suffer rejection from your spouse, your children, or parents, friends etc. God uses such to develop the needed qualities required for your service to Him. Joseph suffered rejection, from his family, sold into slavery, put into prison for uncommitted offense, forgotten by those he helped, but at the long run God justified and glorified him that he became a Prime Minister in a great foreign country at his time.

Therefore, we should thank God, not for everything that happens to us but give Him thanks in everything. Evil does not come from God, so we should not thank Him for it. But when evil strikes, we can still be thankful for God’s presence and strength, and for the good that He will accomplish through the distress.

God's attitude is that if His people really believe Him, then no matter what happens in life they will know that He is big enough to handle it and to make it work out for their good, if they continue to have faith in Him. God desires a thankful people, not a murmuring, grumbling, fault-finding, complaining people. Joy and peace are found in believing, not in murmuring, grumbling, fault-finding, or complaining.

We can even develop a demanding attitude in our relationship with the Lord. We can get to the point that we become upset and aggravated when the Lord doesn't come across with everything we think we are entitled to as the King's kids. As His children, we do have rights, and we have an inheritance, but a humble attitude is a "must." Without humility, we will be unappreciative and presumptuous. You and I have multitudinous opportunities to complain on a regular basis. But all complaining does is open the door for the enemy. It doesn't solve problems; it just creates a breeding ground for greater problems. 

Let's learn to respond to the help we are already getting from our ‘Helper,’ the Holy Spirit, which actually we don't deserve, by developing an attitude of being always thankful. This is not just an occasional word of thanks, but a continual lifestyle of thanksgiving. The person who has developed an "attitude of thankfulness" is one who is thankful and grateful for every single thing that God is doing in his or her life day by day.

Prayer: Abba Father, my help comes from You, Who made heaven and the earth. I will forever be grateful for all You have done, and is doing, and is yet to do. Even when it seems that there is nothing to give thanks for, I will thank You for the privilege of my adoption as Your son, and for the gift of life, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

WRONG MARRIAGE CAN STEAL YOUR CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE

Date: Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 

Title: WRONG MARRIAGE CAN STEAL YOUR CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE

Ezra 9:12, Malachi 2:15

Marriage does not only affect you—it shapes the generations that come after you. Ezra warned Israel, “Give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons… that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever” (Ezra 9:12). Malachi adds, “And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed” (Malachi 2:15). This means marriage is a seedbed for inheritance. A wrong marriage may not fully stop you from fulfilling your call, but it can severely cripple your children’s ability to continue in that call.I have seen children of great ministers lose all appetite for God because their parents’ marriage brought them under a polluted atmosphere. The father might still preach, the mother might still pray, but the generational seed is weakened. A wrong partner brings strange spirits into the home, and those spirits fight the destiny of the children. Satan knows that if he can’t fully derail you, he can still steal your inheritance through your offspring. That is why he fights to contaminate marriage at the foundation. Many who thought they could manage their choice later realised their children bore the brunt of that error.Practically, don’t gamble with destiny in marriage. Brothers, don’t marry a woman who despises spiritual things, no matter how beautiful she is. Sisters, don’t tie your life to a man who rejects God’s purpose, no matter how wealthy he looks. Your union is a gate through which either covenant blessings or strange attacks will pass to your children. If you are married already, refuse to accept defeat—rise in prayer to preserve a godly seed. Teach your children consecration, create a home atmosphere of faith, and fight off every satanic invasion. God’s plan is that your marriage becomes a channel of generational inheritance, not a snare of generational loss.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I choosing marriage with my children’s destiny in view? Am I ensuring my home is a platform for raising a godly seed and not a polluted one?

Prayer: Lord, preserve my marriage as a channel of inheritance. Let a godly seed rise from my home to continue Your purpose in the earth.

SUBJECT : GIVING ATTRACTS GOD'S BLESSING!

Memory verse: "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" (Acts 20 vs 35.) 

READ: Proverbs 11 vs 24. -25:

11:24: There is one who scatters, yet increases more, and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

11:25: The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

INTIMATION:

The two verses in the passage we read today present a paradox—statement that contradicts itself. We become richer by being generous. The world says to hold on to as much as possible, but here the Scripture says that God blesses those who give freely and generously of their possessions, time, and energy. 

When we give, God supplies us with more so that we can give more. In addition, giving helps us gain a right perspective on our possessions. We realize that they were never really ours to begin with, but were entrusted to us by God to be used to serve His purposes, and help others in need. 

Possessions are difficult to come by when you think of yourself as the provider. Possessions reminds you of how hard to work just to get by, and giving it away would only seem to put you further away from the goal of having all your needs met, and the societal approval that you have arrived. All of that would be true if God wasn't your source. In God's economy, you move closer toward your goals by giving than you do by clinging to everything you have. 

Now, let us look at the apostle Paul’s counsel to the believers in Corinth, in his second letter to them; “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as He purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work.” (Second Corinthians 9 vs 6 - 8.)

Many people hesitate to give generously to God and others because they worry about having enough left over to meet their needs. The apostle Paul assured the believers in the Corinthian church that God was able to meet their needs. The person who gives only a little will receives a little in return. But a generous and cheerful giver, God makes all grace abound toward him or her that such person will have abundant resources, making the person sufficient at all times to carry on the good works of generosity. 

And remember that your giving should be with the right motives before God. Your giving must not be out of necessity; for instance, giving to get rich. Such motive is not right before God. Also you should not give grudgingly; giving because they said we should give. Kingdom principles for prosperity doesn’t work that way. Your giving must be from a willing and cheerful heart with faith in God. 

The apostle Paul’s prayer for those with the right heart of giving, is also quite revealing, “Now, may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruit of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.” (Second Corinthians 9 vs 10 - 11.) 

The apostle Paul has the revelation of the ‘giving’ nature of God, especially as it relates to a generous heart. He knows that God will never allow such God-natured persons to lack anything, but He will ensure uninterrupted supply and multiplication of his or her seed, consequently, enriching the person in everything in order to continue and increase his or her liberal giving in bearing fruit of righteousness. God sees the heart and knows the intent of the heart. 

Therefore, give so that the Word of God will manifest in your life; in your generosity with a cheerful and willing heart, you will be made rich and sufficient in all things, so that you will continue in your ‘good works.’ Remember, you can never out-give God! If you are in doubt ask King Solomon.

Prayer: Abba Father, Your thoughts for us is of good, and have given us all that pertains to life and godliness. Endue me with giving spirit that I may utilize the resources You bestowed in my care adequately to serve You and others, thereby making me abundantly sufficient in all things, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

DANGERS OF WRONG MARRIAGE

Date: Tuesday, December 16th, 2025 

Title: DANGERS OF WRONG MARRIAGE

2 Corinthians 6:14, Ezra 9:12

God has never been casual about marriage, because it is not just a social arrangement—it is a spiritual yoke. The Bible warns, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Ezra also declared that when Israel mingled with strange nations in marriage, they weakened their seed and lost strength to inherit the land (Ezra 9:12). A wrong marriage will do the same today: it will weaken your spiritual potency, block access to the good of the land, and compromise the inheritance of your children. Satan knows he may not stop your calling directly, but if he ties you to a wrong partner, he has effectively sabotaged your destiny.There are three major dangers of a wrong marriage. First, it will weaken your spirit and calling. You cannot be in a wrong marriage and remain strong in the anointing; your spouse becomes either your greatest support or your heaviest chain. Second, it hinders your access to the good of the land. Instead of favour and ease, you will experience unnecessary battles and struggles because your spiritual agreement is broken. Third, it steals from your children. Many destinies are truncated in the next generation because the seed is polluted by wrong unions. That is why you see children of ministers who lose all appetite for God—it is often a fruit of misaligned marriages.What then must you do? Guard your destiny jealously in the place of marriage. Don’t mingle light with darkness, even if culture, pressure, or emotions try to push you. Don’t marry simply because someone looks good or sounds religious—ask, “Is this person carrying the spirit that will strengthen or weaken my calling?” Remember, it is not only about avoiding unbelievers, but also about avoiding believers who are not your God-ordained partner. Destiny marriage is not built on convenience but covenant. If you are single, let God choose for you. If you are married already, accept that choice, then fight to preserve your union in prayer and obedience, aligning it to destiny, so that Satan finds no foothold.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I discerning enough to see how marriage can strengthen or sabotage destiny? Am I willing to protect the future of my children by obeying God’s standard now?

Prayer: Lord, preserve me from the trap of wrong marriage. Let my union strengthen my calling and preserve a holy seed for You.

SUBJECT : GIVING WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

Memory verse: "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (Luke 6 vs 38).

READ: Psalm 50 vs 7 - 15:

50:7: Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! 

50:8: I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me. 

50:9: I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of your folds. 

50:10: For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 

50:11: I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beast of the field are Mine. 

50:12: "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness. 

50:13: Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 

50:14: Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.

50:15: Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

INTIMATION:

The attitude with which we give, occasions the manner of our receiving. The right attitude in giving ensures receiving rightly from God. When you give with a wrong attitude, or in a wrong manner, you receive nothing from God. For instance, the religious rituals of going to church, taking communion, paying tithes, giving to charity, or to the church, are all empty if our motives of doing them are selfish. God doesn't want these sacrifices and offerings without an attitude of devotion to Him. 

Many believers' giving fall into the scenario hinted above. They participate in religious activities out of habit or conformity rather than out of heartfelt love and obedience to God. Some give to be recognized; be seen as a financial pillar in the church or ministry, or for self-actualization, not out of love, and obedient obligation to the LORD.

In our memory verse, we have seen that our receiving is tied to our giving. Note, most importantly, that the Scripture says, "the measure we use," not "the measure we give." Many people confuse the two. If we give in love, we receive in lovely manner,criticalwe give in hate, or grudgingly, we receive in like manner. If we are critical rather than compassionate, we will also receive criticism. If we treat others generously, graciously, and compassionately, these qualities will come back to us in full measure. We are to love others, not judge them.

In the passage we read, God was saying to His chosen people that His disagreement with them wasn't about a lack of sacrifices on their part; they had been offering sacrifices continually. His complaint against them was the heart attitude they had in making offerings. They were missing the point! God didn't need the sacrifices. The Israelites were going through the motions of making the offerings, but they weren't giving their hearts to God.

They thought they were making the sacrifices because God somehow needed their bulls and goats. In this Scripture, God was making it clear that He didn't need anything from them; everything already belongs to the Lord. God said, "If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you! The world is Mine, and everything in it." He doesn't need to ask anyone for food. The truth is that the Israelites needed those sacrifices. They needed to give back to God and show their trust and dependence upon Him. It wasn't for God—it's for them. The same is applicable to us today. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13 vs 8).

Do you know the reason for tithe? Why God asked us to give ten percent of our income to the church? It isn't because God needs our money! All the gold, silver, and riches in the world already belong to Him (Psalm 50 vs 12; Haggai 2 vs 8). He doesn't need our donations. God could have set up church finances differently. He could have made every minister of the gospel independently wealthy like He made Abraham, Isaac, David, Solomon, and all the rest. The tithe exists for our benefit, not God's.

God doesn't need your giving today any more than He needed those Old Testament sacrifices. The point of our giving is for we to learn to recognize God as the source of all we have (John 3 vs 27). It's one thing to say you believe God is your source, but it's another thing to prove it. The way you prove to yourself, not God, that you believe God is your source, is to give a portion of what you have back to Him. People who don't really see God as their source are going to balk at giving part of what they have away. They are selfish, and usually are going to think, 'I need this thing!' But giving back some of what God has already given you is nothing when you see God as your source.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are my everything. All I have You have given me. I am nothing without You. Give me the grace to give in full devotion to You, that I will receive from you in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, in Jesus' Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!

TESTED AND APPROVED BEFORE MARRIAGE

Date: Monday, December 15th, 2025 

Title: TESTED AND APPROVED BEFORE MARRIAGE

1 Thessalonians 5:22, Genesis 39:12

In marriage, as in life, God demands that only tested and approved vessels be trusted. The Bible instructs, “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22). When Joseph was cornered by Potiphar’s wife, he didn’t try to negotiate or reason with her; he fled immediately (Genesis 39:12). That is the pattern for every child of God when immorality presents itself: don’t dialogue, flee. Sadly, many believers excuse ungodly behaviour in relationships, hoping that marriage will fix the problem. But if someone is failing God’s tests before marriage, that weakness will only grow stronger after marriage.Marriage is not a prop to make up for spiritual slackness. A woman must never marry a man simply because she thinks she can carry him along. Let him first pass God’s test faithfully. The same applies to men—you cannot pick a lady who fails the standards of consecration and assume she will change after the wedding. If she is already careless with purity, prayer, or obedience, marriage will not sanctify her. God Himself tests men before He commits serious matters of His kingdom into their hands; how much more the choice of a life partner. Refuse to reduce God’s standards in your pursuit of companionship. A partner who fails the exam of integrity before marriage cannot be the answer to your destiny.Practically, this means: don’t excuse fornication in courtship. Don’t cover carnality with emotions. Don’t assume marriage will make an unserious Christian serious. If God does not endorse someone as fit for your journey, you are setting yourself up for tears if you go ahead. Instead, demand the same standard heaven demands—purity, faithfulness, obedience, and submission to the will of God. When both husband and wife are tested and approved, marriage becomes a launchpad for destiny fulfilment. But if you prop someone up who failed heaven’s test, you have only signed up for a lifetime of frustration.THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I ready to allow God’s standards to judge my relationship choices? Or am I reducing the bar just to please my flesh and avoid waiting?

Prayer: Lord, help me never to lower Your standards. Test me, prove me, and align me with a partner who will pass Your test for destiny.
