Monday   ||  08072024 #ANCHOR #SCRIPTURE: "And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:27‭-‬30 NKJV) #KEY #MEDITATION: Like the rising of the sun, it takes faith in God to experience divine elevation! Faith is the power that releases solutions to any issue. Powerlessness of any kind keeps one down instead of lifting one up! There are times in life that one feels the pinch of death and you feel like you're passing through the valley of the shadow of death because you feel so much powerlesss. It's the point where you know you can't do anything about the situation. It's been taken out of your reach (administratively, legally, and other wisely). And yet no one is looking into the situation to bring you joy. Even that divorce process? They say: "It's queued up or it's on a long waiting list which no one knows when exactly yours will be looked into." Or in a dead end situation; in an immigration deadlocked situation, in a health condition where they say there's nothing more the medical science can do about it! Nothing else can make anyone feel more powerless than in such a situation. Howbeit, you can't afford to be intimidated or be depressed but to intimate yourself with a verse of the scripture like this: *"‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You."* (Jeremiah 32:17) And also with our anchor scripture: *Do yourself no harm. Don't kill yourself! There's still something else you can do to be saved.*  Listen to a voice different from the voices of reasoning. In the moment of powerlessness, *Listen a lot in various formats* to the voice behind the creation of heaven and the earth.--The Word of God! This will lead to your shooting forth!* It can resurrect all dead or stagnated successes! *"Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live."* (John 5:25) Today and now is that hour when all your powerlessness in any area of life and dead tissues of your body shall hear the voice of God and spring forth speedily in your favour! Listen over and over again to the majestic voice of God to terminate that powerlessness! That's the leading faith!#ariseworldswealthiestfromafrica [email protected]; www.ebggo.org

Great insights to help pastors adopt an innovator’s mindset:

*WU-TIME DAILY DEVOTIONAL* The Awakening Leaders' Devotional Author: *Ebenezer O George* Topic: *#POWEREDWEALTH!* Monday   ||  27052024 *ANCHOR SCRIPTURE:* "And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” (I Samuel 17:29 NKJV) *KEY MEDITATION:* Yes! There's a cause! There's a common enemy to ward off!  A clear sense of goals for a particular battle is what a cause is. You must equip yourself with a clear and better sense of what needs to be done in the here and now than any other person to thrive in the time of challenges. The Holy Bible tells us that in the desert where Jesus needed to feed 5000 men (women and children not inclusive). The people around Jesus were confused, ineffective, and insufficient. The disciples wanted to quickly disperse the hungry men to avoid taking responsibility for their feeding. This is how some leaders and even some followers do in some places -- to quickly self-isolate themselves and avoid tasking themselves with the responsibility of the welfare of the team and that of their leaders, respectively. Don't be caught in that! It wasn't like that with Jesus! Jesus owned up to the welfare of the people. Look at what perspired between Him and His disciples: "When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, This is a remote and barren place, and the day is now over; send the throngs away into the villages to buy food for themselves. Jesus said, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat.. And they all ate and were satisfied." (Matthew 14:15‭-‬20 AMPC) Understand these to fulfill a cause: 1.* You've got an important role to play in the prosperity of your immediate environment (workplace, family, and church). Fearlessly embody yourself with it! 2.* Do not see the period of a challenge as an opportunity to get away and successfully avoid getting to cooperate and collaborate with others to brainstorm the matter at hand. 3.* If the lunch pack of a school boy could feed 5000 men in the desert, then everyone has something to offer to alleviate the suffering of the masses around him or her. 4.* Make this cause spiritual! Look up to heaven and let help come down from above just as Jesus Christ did! 5.* "He Himself knew what He would do..." (John 6.6). Pray for the inspiration of God for the one thing you can do to change everything. There's a cause to fight here! And you're the only change maker around. Think on a one-size-fits-all-solution and act on it! *#ariseworldswealthiestfromafrica* #PRAYER: My Father And My God, You Are The El-Gibbor. You single-handedly fight our battles! I sing of Your Mighty acts and of the infinite varieties of Your Wisdom. Father! Stir up a new cause in me for the thriving of the place where I am. Deliver me from every mental and spiritual imprisonment that comes with any situation of life. Inspire me up to a new level of wisdom and power for all-round solutions! I have obtained mercy to EMERGE! In Jesus Precious Name!

Empathy has the power to transform how we navigate and lead others through change. When we approach transitions with an open heart, we create space for understanding, patience, and connection. By putting ourselves in someone else's shoes, we offer more than just guidance—we provide comfort, encouragement, and support that can make all the difference. #LeadWithEmpathy #TransformativeLeadership #EmpathyInAction #ChangeWithHeart #LeadershipThroughChange #SupportAndGuide

WU-TIME DAILY DEVOTIONAL The #Awakening #Leaders' #Devotional Author: #Ebenezer O George Topic: #LEADINGFAITH! Saturday   ||  20072024 #ANCHOR #SCRIPTURE: "There they are, in terror and dread, where there was [and had been] no terror and dread! For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because God has rejected them." (Psalm 53:5 AMPC) #KEY #MEDITATION:  In life, ninety percent of what we call obstacles to success are imaginary fears. And they cause darkness on your paths. Quickly move past them to go bring your dream and vision into the limelight! The remaining five to ten percent of the limitations, which may be real hostilities and adversities on your path, can be handled spiritually and prayed away! Imaginary fear, if they are allowed, are endlessly formed and lumped up in the head and are constantly watered by others around us who do not have an in-depth knowledge of what God wants to do through us. The people then only advise us based on the expression of our fear or our courage. Look at part A of the anchor scripture once again: "There they are, in terror and dread, where there was [and had been] no terror and dread!" That means that most people are terrorized, terrified, and petrified based on their own calculations. There could actually be a cause for alarm! I'm saying that maybe your fear is not baseless. However, the scripture warns us not to stay powerless in it but to first figure out and identify what exactly it is that's scaring us and look for how to control it until we master it or conquer it. When you overcome the imaginary fears, you'll easily overcome any other kind of obstacles and convert them to success! The Preacher puts it this way: "The lazy person [who is self-indulgent and relies on lame excuses] says, “There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square [and if I go outside to work, I will be killed]!”.. [never getting out of it]." (Pro. 26:13‭-‬14 AMP) Go forward by faith and pursue your vision! No excuse of fear is good enough for you and I not to do the good we're called to do. We're called to do it just because we've been equipped for the moment! Sow now the financial seed you're instructed to sow! Your money can never finish just because of the seed you're called to sow into that ministry! Don't run away because things are not so successful yet! Stay at your duty post! Most people who shine forth in life don't operate in the absence of fear! If you have a series of goals that God wants you to build – a successful business or career, you just write them down and boldly step out and with the fear, chase them as you keep proclaiming to yourself thus: "I have not been given the spirit of bondage again to fear! I can do all things and succeed in them through Christ that strengthens me!" And you'll surely emerge in evidential wonders! *#ariseworldswealthiestfromafrica [email protected]; www.ebggo.org

Wisdom Proverbs 12:8–17 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David. 8 A person is praised according to their prudence,      and one with a warped mind is despised. 9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant     than pretend to be somebody and have no food. 10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,     but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. 11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,     but those who chase fantasies have no sense. 12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,     but the root of the righteous endures. 13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble. 14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,     and the work of their hands brings them reward. 15 The way of fools seems right to them,     but the wise listen to advice. 16 Fools show their annoyance at once,     but the prudent overlook an insult. 17 An honest witness tells the truth,     but a false witness tells lies. The proverbs for today cover many different subjects, from taking care of animals (v.10) to overlooking insults rather than showing our annoyance at once: ‘Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly; the prudent quietly shrug off insults’ (v.16, MSG). There is one proverb that is specifically on today’s theme: ‘A truthful witness gives honest testimony’ (v.17a). This, of course, has implications for witnesses in court. But also, all of us are witnesses in the sense that we are all in a position to testify about Jesus. Whether you are on a night out with friends or speaking at the front of a crowd of people in church or elsewhere, there is something very powerful about a person telling their story truthfully, honestly and vulnerably from the heart. Prayer Lord, help me to tell my story from my heart, with honesty and authenticity. New Testament

WU-TIME DAILY DEVOTIONAL The #Awakening #Leaders' #Devotional Author: #Ebenezer O George Topic: #LEADINGFAITH! Wednesday || 24072024 #ANCHOR #SCRIPTURE: "Jesus gave in. “Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!” Right then her daughter became well." (Matthew 15:28 MSG) #KEY #MEDITATION: Take care of the faith department of your life, and you would have taken care of your health department as God confirms your faith to perfect your health! Faith is: What you want is what you get! View your health as largely dependent on your attitude of faith! And this attitude of faith covers many areas of your life. Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing over and over again the word of God, which talks about all that pertains to life and Godliness. Constantly study and listen to it! What you hear becomes what you believe. That's faith! What you believe becomes what you think about; and what you think becomes what you action. Your daily actions also become your attitude, which will determine what you do to either keep your health alive or attract ill-health to yourself! Attitudes are formed from what we consistently allow to play out in our lives. Give the devil no chance! He also sows evil seeds into people's lives and make them nurse afflictions as if it is their default mode. Sickness is not in God's plan for you! It is the oppression of the devil! See! If people can recover from illness through their sheer willpower and human energy, you can recover much more quickly by your faith in the word of God. *Good health is a faith thing and is one of your redemptive rights to enjoy!* "Count on it:..But for you, sunrise! The sun of righteousness will dawn on those who honor my name, healing radiating from its wings. You will be bursting with energy, like colts frisky and frolicking... God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so." (Mal. 4:1‭-‬3 MSG) This is your day of healing! Do not be afraid to apply the word of faith to your health! Count on the principles and the  promises of the Holy Scripture for your sound health! Living by its principles is what we call 'the faith', and that is what makes all the organs of your body wholesome. Your faith in the work of redemption that Jesus Christ accomplished in His final Ascension into heaven makes you tap into the reservoir of supernatural energy, which you should start living in the consciousness of. #ariseworldswealthiestfromafrica [email protected]; www.ebggo.org #DECLARATION: My Father And My God, You Are My Great Physician! I lift up my voice and sing Your praises! Oh! Abba Father! The Sun of righteousness bursts forth on me from today. I have obtained mercy to EMERGE! I must shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of My Father-God! Supernatural health must radiate all over the organs of my body to flush out every sickness and disease from me. My faith for divine health for me and my family comes alive again! Now! We are healed! We are made whole! In Jesus Most Holy Name!

Friday   ||  12072024 #ANCHOR #SCRIPTURE: "And He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground,   And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and increases–he knows not how . The earth produces [acting] by itself–first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear." (Mark 4:26‭-‬28 AMPC) #KEY #MEDITATION: The faith that leads us to our high places is a process. It starts from the planting point of the seed of the word of God buried in the soil of the heart. No one can fully explain the experience of the seed underneath the earth before it sprouts. The seed is covered in the soil in total darkness! The Bible says: "And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Galatians 3:29 NKJV) So, if you are born again, you're a seed! You must know that there will come times that people can not understand what you are going through. Only you can. Because the seed of greatness is covered! Therefore, helping you out will look like an impossible task for them. They actually think you don't need anything while you need every help you can ever get. Because you are still closed up in the earth of your purpose, and you'll soon spring up. Help is coming! It's your moment of silence - not for lack of what to say. But that if you must blossom, there should be no noise, quarrel, or crisis, and neither should you be rowdy in your spirit or your soul. You  just have to remain silently planted in God still! There's always a moment of silence that precedes your next phase of glorious announcement! Maximize the moment when all things are silent! Nobody in the outside world knows you're in trouble, much less know the point you are presently and how to help you. They only know that you are trying to do something with your life, which looks like it's still in the embryo stage. If you have to get out of any unwanted stage —you have to get yourself up in faith! You have to quietly but seriously get yourself up! Discern that season when whatever you say to anyone may not make sense to them - only you and God can get you up and out! Bury yourself completely in the soil of the word of God. Deeply think in worship and say all you want to say in prayers! With that, it is certain that you will doubtlessly come out and grow up. Boom, bloom, and blossom today! #ariseworldswealthiestfromafrica [email protected]; www.ebggo.org #DECLARATION: My Father And My God, You Are The Rock Of My Salvation And My Song! Now I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. I have obtained mercy to EMERGE! I make a 'sure progress' in the name of the Lord! I dismantle and set on fire every human and satanic altars erected against my blossoming. They begin to flourish and blossom now on their own accord. In Jesus Most Excellent Name!
