2025 VICTORY MONTH PRAYER BULLETIN
General Text:Heb. 12:14,1 John 2
INTRODUCTION
This year Victory month theme is an important one: ERA OF PURITY,PEACE AND
PROSPERITY. The three 'P' words are as weighty as the atmosphere of the era we desire
and deserve in our Church.Deeper meditation on these three words will unveil to us more
about the significance of three words.
With PURITY,we have access into fellowship with God: 1 John 1:6 "if we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth".
With PEACE, we have fellowshíp with our brethren: 1 !ohn 1:3,6: “That which we have
seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly
our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ".
With PROSPERITY,wé fulfil our life's mission and ambition: Ph: ippians 4:18:"But I have
all, and abound: I åm full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from
you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sicrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God".
Spiritually, the three (PPP) words reflect power, light and life.
1.PURITY: Purity comes from the word, pure, which is the absence of dirt. There is a saying
that "cleanliness is nextto godliness". Cleanliness in the natural realm is the absence
of dirt and viruses. Purity is therefore the spiritual cleanliness which is the absence of
sin, the spiritual dirt and viruses. God is pure and holy. He cannot co-habit with
impurity because it is contrary to His nature. The way that the enlightened people of
the earth do not entertain dirt and viruses in their environment to avoid diseases; is
the same that God cannot entertain impurity in His kingdom to avoid contamination.
Purity invokes God, brings light and generates life which is God's inhabited place.
2.PEACE: One of the attitudes in the animals' kingdom is fighting and quarelling. The wild
animals in the jungles fight a lot and endanger each other's lives. A situation where
numan beings are fighting portends an animalistic instinct as against divine nature.
There must
iii
make the atmosphere conducive for God, because He is not the author One other
strange attitude or attributes of the wild animals was their phobia for clean
environments. Bushy environments attract dangerous animals while clean areas
chase them away. Believers who are fond of fighting; are demon-possessed. Fighting
proned environment is a spiritually bushy environment, void of God, love, light and
life.
These three Ps are the focus of our prayers this year. We are asking for i.and receiving it,
because it is God's will for us. Our lives and Church shall never remain the same again.
Kindly cooperate by doing the following:
1.Endeavour to fast as much as you can at least to the best of your ability.(Fasting enhances
answers to prayers).
2.Gather with brethren in the Church everyday at the appointed time for corporate prayers.
3.Do the prayers in your home alone or with your family. It is mandatory for each family to
observe the family prayer sessions.
4. Spend quality time in the prayer sessions everyday. Kindly do justice to all the prayer
points. Do the prayers extensively and exhaustively.According to 1Tim. 2:1-3, our
prayers must touch all people, cover all places and all programs. Remember, "much
prayers bring much power;little prayers bring little power; no prayer brings no
power"!
The Victory Month Prayer Committee appreciates the leadership of our great Church for
giving us the assignment of preparing the prayer points year after year.

We also appreciate all members of our wonderful Church for making a good use of the

FOREWORD
lory be to God for another new year. Events in Nigeria and around the world last
year raised a lot of concerns and apprehensions about the future. And here we are,
stepping into a journey of another 365 days with many not sure whether things will get
better or worse.But for us in GOFAMINT,I believe that we shall enjoy peace and
prosperity, no matter what the situation may be as long as we remain faithful in the Lord
Jesus Christ. It is to ensure this that the focus of our 30 days of fasting and prayers this
year is "Purity, Peace and Prosperity in GOFAMINT Worldwide".
These prayers are to geared, first and foremost, towards purity of heartbecause that is
the only basis of meeting with God, who is the only source of peace and prosperity in all
its ramifications. This is clearly explained in the following two Bible verses: the first,
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8,), and the second,
“But seek first the kingdom ofGod and His righteousness,and all these things shall be
added to you” (Matthew 6: 33).
So,I can assure you that ifyou are pure in the heart and you remain steadfastly in the
Lord, you will enjoy peace and prosperity, for they are available to all who are in Christ.
This is more especially so, as we still stand on the promise of “ No More Lack in
GOFAMINT” which God gave us last year.
This prayer booklet for the 30-day programme has been well prepared to guide us in
seeking the face of God for a brighter future, irrespective of the present or apparent
situations. The insight for prayers are incisively crafted to fortify your faith and arouse
your power of prayer and intercession.I therefore encourage you to use the booklet
diligently and participate very actively in the prayers as directed and outlined therein to
get the best result.
I believe that, as we commit ourselves faithfully to this programme, apart from the peace
and prosperity focus, our prayers will also awaken us to our divine potential as a Church,
and renew our commitment to discipleship and evangelism!I therefore pray that as you
embark on this journey of 30 days of prayer and fasting,the Spirit of the Living God will
illuminate your path, and launch you, your family and our Church worldwide into the
dawn of a brighter future in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Happy Victory Month.

God's mercy is vast, and His grace is abundant. When the Church inbraces repentance
and restitution, it steps into a new seascn of restor_tion. This is not merely about
restoring what was lost, but about experiercing God's fullness, joy, and peace in ways
that surpass past experiences.
As the Church walks the path of repentance and restitution,it strengthens its foundation
in Christ. This process purifies the Church,making it a vessel that God can use for greater
works. It is through genuine heart-change that the Church can truly shine as the light of
the world. Restoration is available.Deliverance is available. Forgiveness is available. A new
life is available.The substitution of the sinless Jesuus for the sinner is available. Wholeness
is available. Victory is available. All of this is available and more, but it is found only in
Jesus and what He did for us. These are found in Christ Jesus and only in Him.
The Church's total restoration will usher in revival. As hearts are cleansed,relationships
restored, and sins confessed, the Holy Spirit will move mightily, bringing fresh anointing,
healing, and the manifestation of God's power in unprecedented ways. It is high time for
us during this prayer session to identify someone who you have deeply hurt in
relationship that you walk up to such a person to make necessary amend as well as restore
what you have wrongfully taken.
Through repentance and restitution, the Church will rise stronger, walking in God's power
and reflecting His love to the world.

Peace is not a situation, it isa personality. Peace is very scarce all over the world because
people unconsciously distant themselves from Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace, who alone
has power to give peace (Rom. 3:17).
11
(Phil. 4:6-7) and peace with God (Romans 5:1-2) and this will invariably barriers to a life of
purity, peace, progress and prosperity? Let us consider few of them:
1.DISUNITY: This is the attitude that tears asunder what God has divinely joined together in
the body of Christ and it grieves the Lord of the Church.
2.SELFISHNESS: This manifests in rivalry, quarreling, infighting, strive,faction, party spirit and
contentious disposition. This is a consuming and destructive sin.
5. URGE TO TAKE CREDIT AND TAKE CHARGE: If you want peace to reign in your assembly
and district; don't struggle to be in charge or take credit to yourself. Give credit away
and take none to yourself.
6. MURMURING AND DISPUTING (Phil. 2:14-15): it issinful and destructive for believers to
complain, murmur and fight about anything the Lord permits to happen in your life or
around you.
In summary, let us intentionally avoid any attitude or behaivour that hurts,damages, divides,
tears down, or e!evates selfish opinion, opposes God's will, hinders progress, arrest growth,
misleads people and pushes people away from Christ and the Church. Let us stay pure,
peaceful and God will make us progressive in our ways.
LET US PRAY
Create in me a clean heart. o God, and renew a right Spirit within me (Ps.51:10).
1.Thank you Father for not allowing the gates of hell to prevail over your Church-GOFAMINT
in any way possible.
12
3.Let us plead the blood of Jesus Christ upon every one of us for purging and cleansing
from all kinds of known and unknown sins in the name of Jesus Christ.
4.Father, let the blood of Jesus Christ sanctifies us and the Holy Spirit empowers us to keep
ourselves pure in Jesus name.
5.Bestow on us oh God, the grace and power to be holy and righteous always in the name
of Jesus Christ (Ps. 106:3).
6.We take authority over any spirit/attitude that divide us, tear down the spirit of unity and
oppose God's will among us in the name of Jesus Christ.
7.Every power of darkness that misleads God's people and push them away from Christ and
His purpose is destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ.
8.Oh God arise, expose and destroy every power of darkness that hinders our progress and
inhibits our growth in Jesus name.
9.Holy Spirit of God, take control of GOFAMINT and put an end to rivalry,quarreling, faction,
disparity and contentions in the name of Jesus Christ.
10. Rekindle the fire of your love and the love of the brethren in us Lord in Jesus name.
11. Let everything working against our peace, progress and prosperity be consumed with
your fire in Jesus name.
12. Stop and destroy every demonic activity to derail and destabilise your Church in the

LORD,HELP US TO INCREASE PEACEMAKERS ANDTRANSFORM BELIEVERS
PEACE FAKING AND PEACE BREAKING INGOFAMINT WORLDWIDE
FOCUS:
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
ur cry today is that God should increase peacemakers and peoples Equally,that
God should transform inside out; all people faking peace, breaking peace and
pretending to be holy!
GOFAMINT is Church that is founded on the solid foundation of the apostolic and
embraced wholeheartedly. This is because we have a God-given scripturally directed
responsibility of manifesting a life of purity and pursuing peace because God has called
us unto peace and holiness(Eph.1:4.1 Cor. 7:15).
Today, all over the world, there are three set of people in every local assembly
concerning peacemaking and purity of heart.
Peacemakers: They promote peace, they overlook offences, they forgive Peacemaker is
someone who is actively seeking to reconcile people to God others.person that he or she
has not said to that person directly before relating to
14
issues acting as if everything is alright when it is not,peacemakers. They only pretend but
not mindful of peace.theyare not They are only
14
focusing on themselves, looking for what is ease and convenient.
Peace-breakers: They are believers who are more than willing to sacrifice peace and
unity to get what they want. They focus on the faults of others,blaming others and
expecting them to give in to solve the problems. They have to justify themselves.
They are not ready to overlook any offense.In the book of judges, we have three set
of people:
i. People that were causing problems or conflicts in the Church
ii. People that were peaceful-peacemakers.
iii. People that broke peace- peace-breakers.
In Judges 8:1-4. The people of Ephraim accused Gideon for not calling them when
he went to fight against the Midianites. But Gideon answered them,"what have I
done compared to you? Aren't the last grapes of Ephraim's harvest better than the
entire crop of my little clan of Abiezer...Then their anger toward him was abated"-that
is they calmed down and cooled off and peace reigned supreme. Gideon did not point
to them that he sent messengers to them in Judges 7:24, because he wanted to make
peace.He did not just emphasise that, what a sacrifice for peacemaking.
But in Judges 12:1-6, the same people of Ephraim accused Jephtah for not calling
them when he went to fight against the children of Ammon. But Jephthah answered,
"I and my people were engaged in a great struggle with the Ammorites, and although
I called you, you didn't save me out of their hands. When I saw that you wouldn't help,
I took my life in my hands and crossed over to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gave
me victory over them. Now why have you come up today to fight me" (Judges 12:21)
Then they broke peace. The war broke out and forty-two thousand Ephramites were
killed (Judges 12:6). This was war that could have been averted if truly both people
of Ephraim and Jephthah covet peace.
Who are you? The people of Ephraim or Gideon or Jephthah?
What is your story? Is it like that of Psalmist? "Too long have I lived among those who
hate peace" (Ps. 120:6, NIV). These are believers faking or breaking peace; are you
numbered among them? You have to change.This is very dangerous. You are in the
Church of the living God, who sees everything that you are doing and He will repay
you accordingly.
Beloved, there are only two options, youare either for peace or for war,(Ps. 120:7,
NKJV). Our God must increase believers that are for peace and transform all believers
that are faking or breaking peace in His Church.
15
Let us Pray
1.Lord, help me and every member of GOFAMINT to know the way of peace, seek it,
pursue it everyday of our lives in Jesus mighty name.
2.Rom. 3:17; Isa. 59:8. The hallmarks of Christians is the ability to get along with other
people, O Lord, make me pure and peaceful to be able to get along with other
people in your Church.
3.Lord,help me don't allow me to be like the people of Ephraim,causing and promoting
crises, confusion, division, war etc in your Church in the name of Jesus
4.Lord, remove from my life anything that causes or promotes crises,conflicts, war in
your Church in the mighty name of Jesus.
5.Lord, transform inside-out all peace breakers in GOFAMINT worldwide - those
promoting war indirectly.
6.Lord, uproot any trait in me that makes me to hate peace in any form (Ps.120:6).
7. O Lord, remove me from the group of the so called believers that hate peace, plant
me among those believers who love peace very dearly.
8.Lord,raise the generation of Gideon that wins over crises of any sort in GOFAMINT and
make me one of them.
9.Father,transform all ministers, workers and members in GOFAMINT having the nature
of Jephthah; causing crises and conflicts in Jesus'name.
10. Father, change anything and anyonethat is making any member of GOFAMINT to be
saying in his or her assembly "I am tired of living here among people who hate peace
”.
11. O Lord, turn all members who hate peace in every local assembly of GOFAMINT to

CORPORATE INTERCESSION FOR OPERATION 2030 (2025 Edition) Part 1
Read Matt.24:14.
1.Let us thank God for giving GOFAMINT Pastor (Dr) E.O. Abina, a visionary leader, an
apostle and prophet with a foresight and large heart for Kingdom expansion.
2.Let us thank God for the impact of operation Open Doors that birthed 500
Assemblies in GOFAMINT.
3.Let us thank God for Operation Identificationthat took the gospel to almost all the
continents and nations of the world.
Mercy: The word mercy (hesod) means God's underserved favour and love within the
covenant relationship; forbearance from inflicting punishment upon a law breaker or
adversary. Divine compassion, the compassion which causes one to help the weak,
the poor and the needy. Divine pardon, divine kindness and compassion to one in
need or helpless, distress or debt and without claim to favourable treatment.
17
There are two aspects of God's mercy that makes it a destiny maker and builder.
Withholding of divine punishment and punishment that we circumstances beyond
their control. An example of this is seen in the
17
miracles of Jesus He healed the blind men, Matt. 9:27-31,He healed lepers,Luke
17:11-19, He healed thedaughter of Abraham, Luke 13:11-16.
Grace simply means God's underserved favour, unmerited favour, divine whenwe
deserve nothing (Deut. 7:7-8; Ps. 44:3; 2 Chro. 30:9). Divine strength or support in
weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
Grace and mercy will usher GOFAMINT into a new and glorious season. Let
18
us be very desperate, let us cry for great mercy and great grace upon GOFAMINT today.
Let us Pray:
1.(Read Ezek. 20:44 NLT). O Lord, thank you so much for dealing with us mercifully
inspite of our ungodliness, waywardness and wickedness.
2.O Lord,help us in GOFAMINT to always pursue righteousness and mercy in Jesus name.
3.Heavenly Father, forgive us as a Church; all that we have done that have warranted you
to withhold or withdraw your mercy from us, Ps.77:9;2 Sam.2:15.
4.Father, just as you showed thy servant David great mercy;show GOFAMINT your great
mercy unlimitedly, 1 Kg. 3:6.
5. Ezra 7:28, O Lord, extend your great mercies und great grace to GOFAMINT Worldwide
and cause our members, workers and ministers to enjoy uncommon treatment,
favour, help, honour from all people of the earth.
6.Ps. 94:17 (NJKV), Gracious Father, let your great mercy deliver any GOFAMINT member
that are slipping or falling into all forms of sins all over the world in the mighty
name of Jesus.
7.Lord,by your great mercy and great grace; magnify GOFAMINT in the community of
Churches exceedingly and greatly (1 Chro. 29:25) all over the world.
8.Father, by your great mercy and grace; help al! GOFAMINT members worldwide to
escape all forms of accidents, natural disasters, human disasters, riot, etc in Jesus
name.
9.Jere. 31:2, O Lord, help all GOFAMINT members worldwide to find great grace in the

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
he Church of God all over the world today has grown from the "house of God" to
a "great house" where both good things and ugly things are taking place (1 Tim. 3:15, 2
Tim. 2:9). Thus there is a great need for spiritual leaders who are healers to address the
ills in our Churches. God appoints leaders in our local Churches to set in orders things that
are wanting and to perfect things which are lacking in the faith of God's people (Titus 1:5
and I Thess. 3:10). So as to make God's people whole, perfect and complete in all the will
of God (Col. 4:12).
The ills in Churches today are numerous. They includes: pretended holiness,hypocrisy,
corrupt practices, sexual immorality, financial unfaithfulness,sinful practices, importation
of unscripural practices and doctrines,unforgiveness, gossip, envy, pride, hatred, covering
up of sins, ungodliness,stealing, disobedience and division.
All these ills injure the corporate integrity and existence of the Church.They make our
Churches today to be so weak and ineffective.They withhold the manifestation of constant
and full manifestation of the power,glory,anointing, presence and undeniable miracles
among us. They must be cured by spiritual leaders. Today, we have three types of ministers
in our Mission:
i. The spiritual healer-those that can cure the ills in our Churches.They are very few.
ii. The leaders without spiritual remedies or cure for the ills in our Churches. These
are physicians of no value (Job 13:4) leaders without healing medicines (Jere,
30:13).
iii. The leaders that are part of the ills in our Churches. These are the Achans among
the leaders.
The great question is this, what is the proportion of these leaders today in

-Leaders that will solve the ills of our Churches will be leaders who genuinely seek to live
their lives by Jesus' example, filled by the Spirit and leading in alignment with God's will,
purpose and plan.
-Leaders that submit their will to the will of God (Luke 22:42). This is a hard work for
many leaders. Submitting our will to God's will has three part-i.hearing God's will (Are we
listening?); ii. Agreeing with God's will (Are we aligned?)' 3. Obeying God's will (can we
do it?).

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
oyce Meyer once said, "Every time I became frustrated it was becausel was trying to
do something myself... instead of putting my faith in God and receiving His grace."
Grace is simply defined as, "The unmerited favour of God toward men." The debt that grace
pays for, is the cost of our sin, and grace purchases eternal life. Since God's grace overcomes
the most difficult obstacle of all (which is the gates of hel), it's not hard to imagine how grace
can overcome other problems by heiping when all else fails. When we are at our wits end and
experiential and physica resources-then grace steps in. It's kind of like a becomes exhausted

The growth of the Church is a part of God's divine agenda, but it requires a
determined,unwavering focus. Challenges that will come are both internal (disunity, fear,
complacency) and external (persecution, societal pressures)but through a steadfast
spirit, the Church will overcome all these.Determination is a key ingredient in advancing
God's kingdom here on earth.Just as God provided supernatural strength to Biblical
leaders like Moses,Joshua,and Paul,He empowers His Church today with strength to
overcome every hindrance. Whether it's internal weaknesses or external opposition,the
strength of the Lord enables the Church to rise and grow. No challenge is too great when
we rely on the power of God. These Victory Month prayers will make this power available
for us as we wait on the Lord (Isaiah 40:28-31).
When the Church functions in unity, empowered by God's great grace, it moves swiftly
and effectively in fulfilling the Great Commission. Unity amplifies our strength and creates
an environment where growth becomes inevitable. Through grace, determination, and
strength,the Church will flourish and grow rapidly despite opposition.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
hristian programmes and projects are God's programmes and were meant to be
divine in nature and operation. It is an abnormality for Church programmes to take an
ordinary dimension as against the divine. The unseen hands of God must be present in
Christian programmes and projects all the time. The early Church prayed for this in our
Bible passage today: "By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders
may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus". (Acts 4:30).
The Church at every level, may it be national, regional, districts or local assemblies will
be embarking upon various programmes this year. It is of utmost importance for these
various programmes to produce the desired results. When the early Church prayed for
this, they got desired results.The record says: "And when they had prayed, the place was
shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost,and they spake the word of God with boldness. And with great power gave the
apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all".
29
Simply put; Jesus is the same yesterday,today and forever. Our programmes must
achieve no lesser result than that of the early Church.Anything less;is unacceptable and
undesirable. To experience the power of God in all our
29

delivered in the power of the spirit. Our prayers must be spirit-led, relevant, fervent and
answer-oriented. Our praises must be inspirational and joyful.
When these are put into consideration, i. God will take His rightful place in the Church. ii.
brethren would not not want to miss the services. iii. others will be willing to join us in our
services. Fire attracts people, we must keep the fire burning. Our services should not be boring
and dormant. The preachers, the teachers, the singers and all workers must be fire-brands and
bring the fire down always. Hebrews 1:7 captions it this way:"... Who maketh his angels spirits,
and his ministers a flame of fire". We must all be fire-brands for God. God Himself is a
consuming fire. Our services must be the burning bush,so as to make our Church a centre of
attraction for anybody willing to watch the scenario.
LET US PRAY:
1.Thank You,dear Lord, for our Church, GOFAMINT for Your choice,interest, involvement and
actions among us.
2.Thank You for several thousands of souls being saved in GOFAMINT,my humble self as a

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

irst fruit giving is a powerful expression of honoring God with the best of what
He has given us. It signifies placing Him first in every area of our lives, acknowledging
that He is the Source of all our provision.When we give our first fruits, we
demonstrate our trust in God's ability to
provide for all our needs and ensure continual blessings.
First fruit-like giving brings breakthroughs because it positions us for divine
intervention. As we offer the first of our income, harvest, or resources to God, we
open the door for His supernatural provision and favor. This act of obedience draws
His attention and releases extraordinary breakthroughs in our lives.
First fruit giving often requires sacrifice, but with it comes the promise of unending
blessings. God's economy is based on giving and receiving. As we give, especially out
of faith and sacrifice, God multiplies our seed, ensuring that we never lack. Our
obedience in giving sets the stage for continuous overflow.
First fruit-like giving not only brings blessings and breakthroughs, but it also places us
under God's divine protection. As we honor Him with the first of our increase, God
commits to protecting our resources, health,family,and all that concerns us. Our
faithful giving becomes a covering over our lives.
35
the year (January) was specified for everybody as being the beginning of our harvests
each year.
Thirdly, it was purposeful (How the offerings are to be used) Exod.35:11-12;19. Our
father-in-the-Lord the G.O also told us that the offerings were to be directed to the
Gospel City development as our covenant land of gathering unto the Lord.
Fourthly, it was divinely motivated (by God) Exod. 35: 21-22. As earlier mentioned,
this directive was received from the Lord by our General Overseer, as a way of
opening an unusual covenant blessings to those who can be faithful to it.
Fifthly, and finally too, it was intended to end when enough had been given.(Exod.
36:6-7). We might have been wondering why we had not yet stopped doing it since
we started. Perhaps this scriptural reason might be adduced to the reason why we
have not yet stopped. Is the Gospel City now developed as God wanted it to be? This
is a food for thought for everyone on the need for us to double up efforts and bring
the City to the envisioned level.
Have you now set aside what your first fruit offering for this year 2025 will be?
Covenant with God during this prayer and see Him surprise you as He had done for
the patriarchs of old.
Do we have anyone with testimonies of what the Lord had done for him/her through
the past exercises to encourage others towards the 2025edition?

10. Father, by prophetic announcement, let Your favour exempts me from shame and dishonor this

TEXT: Jer.30:12-17,1Cor.10:13
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
e live in a world of problems and difficulties. Anywhere you find a group of
people, the next thing you hear or see from them is a problem. Problems have become part
and parcel of our world. No wonder,when a child has his/her first contact with this world,
he/she starts crying as soon as delivery is accomplished. What a strange scenario! There are
many sources or causes of the problems. The number one cause is Satan's factor. In
Revelation 12:12, the Bible says: "...Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the
devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a
short time". The second cause of problem is sin (Isa. 1.4-6). Sin is a direct and open door to
problems.The way that dirt is related to sickness is the way sin is related to
38
problems.Repentance from sins is a key instrument to solve problems.“Repent ye times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord"; (Acts 3:19).
38
The third source is attack from evil men and women. One major agent of evil and
problems on earth are the demonic people like witches and wizards.There are so many
other agents of evil on earth apart from witches and wizards. Many of them operate
under religious clocks. There were so many such evil men in the Bible, both in the old
and new testaments. We can remember Balaam in Numbers chapter 23-24. Also
Barjesus in the new testament (Acts 13:6-12). There are so many of them in
ourcontemporary world;wrecking havocs on human lives.
The good news is that there is a way out. There is no problem without a solution.That
was why Jesus came into this world, to solve human problems.Jesus said it in very clear
terms, "in the world ye shall have tribulation,be of good cheers, I have overcome the
world". That was why He went to the cross, to suffer, die and to resurrect. He destroyed
him that hath the power of death through His own death (Heb. 2:14).
Problems from the Bible perspective are classified into four groups.
1. Problems to be solved.
2. Problems to be faced.
3. Problems to be avoided.
4. Problems to endure.
By accepting Christ, repenting of our sins and engaging in fervent prayer and fasting as
we are doing now, we take care of the first three groups,solving, facing and avoiding
problems. By this, a very high percentage of the problems will be gone. In our prayers
today, we are saying, “who art thou mountain before Zerubabel".
The last one which is the problem to endure is God's prerogative to address.
LET US PRAY:
1.Thank you Lord, for giving us a name above every other names by which mountains
of problems are being solved.
2.Thank You, Father for the victory purchased for us on the cross by Jesus, as a result
of which we are not fighting for victory, but fighting in victory.
3.Eph. 1:7:, Today, we stand on the redemption ground and release the blood of Jesus
against all principalities and powers; sent on assignment against us, we overcome
in Jesus name.
4.Rom. 8:37, we stand on our biblical 'more than conqueror' position,

10. We decree a solution to all stubborn and persistent problems in anyone's life in Jesus

power of the cross in Jesus' name.
13. Every rope of limitation by which anyone among us has been tied to prevent themn from

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
t is a good news to know that there is an unending source of strength for exploits,
unsearchable wisdom for uncommon breakthroughs, a treasure house that can
supply all needs, and an impenetrable stronghold for every child to take refuge in
without fear or frustrations. What is more interesting is that every child of God
irrespective of his/her status in life has access to this unfailing and unending source
by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A good number of our missionaries are faced with manifold challenges spiritual
attacks, threats to life and property through insurgency, health challenges, financial
crises, infrastructural deficit, etc. When the Early Church was faced with challenge of
41
supplies amongst others. They took pragmatic measures to overcome all their
challenges. Hence, came the testimony, "and there was not any among them that
lacked". Therefore,we trust the Lord to make a way for amazing breakthroughs, total
provisions and protection for all our missionaries and mission fields. As we pray today,
41
it is our desire that the Almighty God will intervene in the lives of our missionaries and every
Christian until every right is wrong and our joy is full indeed.
Today, it is our desire to storm the store house of heavenly resources and draw every resource
that will make our missionaries to excel and command uncommon breakthroughs and exploits
in life and ministry. It is true that many people perish for lack of knowledge but as we come
together today,we will conquer ignorance and bypass every barrier to take possession of our
inheritance in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Let Us Pray
1.Lord,purge all our missionaries from all forms of uncleanliness and let them become free and
clean flowing channels; your limitless resources.

here are four divisions of blessings available for believers through the suffering and
the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.These Tare:

Christ. Some Christians erroneously believe that poverty is a sign of have a phobia for
prosperity messages as well as the prosperity preachers.which seems to back up their view
is largely misunderstood which is 1
43
Timothy 6:6: "But godliness with contentment is a great gain". What they do not
understand was that godliness with contentment is not the same thing as godliness with
poverty. Poverty is never a fruit of the spirit, neither is it related to God. It is a curse, it is
not our portion. It is one of the reasons why Jesus died on the cross to remove it from our
lives. Poverty was cleverly smuggled into the doctrine and dictionary of some believers by
Satan.Prosperity is our portion and our heritage.
2. It enables us to meet the needs of our family, failure to do that is a sin (1Tim.5:8).
4. The kingdom of God can only be spread farther and wider through it (Zech. 1:17).
Let it be drummed clearly into our ears that GOFAMINT needs prosperity more than many
denominations. This is because we have a big and great mission to fulfill for the expansion
of the kingdom of God on earth. There are billions of people on earth yet to be reached for
Christ. They are located in different countries and continents of the world. Our mission's
vision and commission under the leadership of our General Overseer in this regard is
enormous, it is a world-wide phenomenon; waiting for actualisation.Whereas,young men
and women all over GOFAMINT branches have been spiritually equipped with the word and
the anointing; waiting for manifestation of God's glory and to make things happen for the
unprecedented end-time harvesting of souls in different nations of the earth. (Rom. 8:19).
What these brothers and sisters need is to be economically equipped to be ready to go on
offensive against the kingdom of darkness. That was the major reason of the much needed
prosperity in GOFAMINT.
GOFAMINT is a Church with many potentials and prosperous people,especially the young
ones. To access prosperity, here are the steps to take:
1. Pray through and breakthrough. Prayer is powerful and performs wonders. Doors of
blessings are opened when we pray. This is just the first of the many steps to access
prosperity. Pray as if everything depends on your prayer, because it is first and foremost.
44
2.You must recognize the fact that there are treasures embedded in you. Every human life
is a divine treasure depot (yours inclusive). That is why the people in the world of
darkness use humans for money-ritual. Don't have a wrong notion that other people
must come and meet your needs. Your blessing is in your hands. Yoruba people have
a philosophical saying: "your arms and palms are your kiths and kin".There is a special
treasure of blessing in your life, no matter who you are (the handicapped inclusive).
Please see the treasure inside of you,and convince yourself that you are not a poor
person.
3.Discover the treasure depot in you which is your talents and gifts.Your gift and talent is
God's grace in you, meant for your prosperity.Your gifts show you what you were
wired by God to do on earth. What you are wired to do is what you can do with ease.
What you can do with ease is what you can do successfully to be prosperius. Discover
your gift and do yourself a great favor.
4.Develop your gifts. The gift is like a raw material, which needs to be processed before
being used. Develop your gift through required and necessary training either formal
or informal. Your developed gift is like a finished product which is beneficial to
humanity. People hardly buy raw materials because of their non-attractiveness and
useless appearance. Develop your gift and make it attractive and acceptable to the
people.
5.Diligently deploy your gifts: There is an absolute need to do your work diligently to
provide qualitative and quantitative services to humanity. The quality of your service
and product ensures its acceptability to the people, while the quantity brings in much
more money. If you know how to pray hard for success, you must also learn how to
work hard as if your success depends on your hard work alone.
Prosperity is a necessity, a possibility and God's perfect will for us. GOFAMINT must
become prosperous, not because of anything, but the wide-spreading of the gospel. if
that will happen, GOFAMINT members must become prosperous. We can be and we will
be, if we do the right thing. Prosperity,here we are!
LET US PRAY:
1.Dear Father, thank you so much for all the blessings of the cross which includes
prosperity.

The Gospel Faith Mission International planted its first Church branch in London,the
United Kingdom over 40 years ago. By His grace, we have spread to other cities in the

would pick on fresh courage to be at their best for the Lord irrespective of the

FOCUS: GREAT REVIVAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN GOFAMINT
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
Definitely, what is going on in the world today has direct negative effects on the
spiritual conditions of the Church. The disciples asked Jesus Christ,"When will these
things be? And what will be the signs of your coming, and of the end of the age?' He
answered among many other things,"Then many false prophets will rise up and
deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold"
(Mt. 24:3,11,12)NKJV.Without gain saying, this describes the situation of things in the
Church of God today. We are already in perilious time and everything the Lord Jesus
Christ predicted together with what the apostles of old predicted are already
happening. (2 Tim3:1-6). The advance in information technology has helped to
spread the fallacious and heretic teachings far and wide.
Many preachers choose what they want to believe and preach in the Bible while
some add their own. They want to change the Bible to fit their lifestyle instead of the
Bible changing their lifestyle. Some have departed from the faith,deceiving and
eloquently leading others astray from the way of Christ and the truth. (1Tim.4:1-2).
The condition of the economy of our land does not help the situation in the Church.
There are discouragement, complaining and lukewarmness everywhere as a result of
economic hardship. The consecration and obedience of the people are negatively
affected. People are no longer friendly with God, His word and His Church. There is
social media attack on the leadership of the Church and so many men of God are
now very controversial; probably looking for social media attention and
popularity.We need REVIVAL AND REAWAKENING.
cease". Will you be angry with us forever? Will you not revive us again, that yo your

51
and volitionally. We need to go back to the Bible and pray scriptually,fervently, regularly for
the fresh outpouring of the Holy Ghost Fire upon the Church again. Biblical repentance and
restitution is also necessary.Let everyone of us repent, confess and forsake his or her
sinfulness and humbly come back to God and pray.
Let us consider the following calling for revival and spiritual awakening; so that we can pray
fervently:
1.Is not helping the hurting, healing the sick, providing hope for the hopeless and preparing
people for eternity?
2.Is talking about loving the spiritually lost but doing nothing to reach them.
5.Finding it difficult to support or be involved in evangelism, foreign and home based missions.
6.Is just being committed to comfort over sacrifice for Kingdom expansion?
7.Is just celebrating yesterday, mourning today and doing about tomorrow?
8.Is the merely focusing exclusively on living this life at the expense of eternity?
9.Fighting for leadership position without any impact on the present assignments.
10. Promoting controversy and discord among brethren rather than binding people together
11. Talking about money and the budget more than lives transformation and evangelism.

empowerment to engulf our Pastors and all leaders in GOFAMINT in the name of
Jesus.
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
The Church of Jesus Christ exists with a deep desire to honour God,and to make the great
commission our primary and first assignment of all believers make people a recipient of
salvation; which is Christ Jesus with eternal glory (2 Tim. 2:10). Thus, the Church people
are supposed to be on fire for the work of great commission and be able to setothers
ablaze for Christ for the same purpose. This is the type of Church that can adequately
rise and effectively propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ,drawing people to Christ and
prepare them for eternity. The Church as Christ envisioned it, is a citadel and
membership of God's family, discipled and empowered as ambassadors of Christ to
continue spreading the good news of salvation anywhere they go. The Church like the
disciples of old and the early Church exists to encourage, empower, strengthen, inspire,
and bring people into salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory (2 Timothy 2:10).
However, the situation today is far from the vision and the dream of Christ the owner of
the Church. We are now more concern about big and beautiful edifice than preaching the
gospel to sinners and helping them to understand the destructive power of sins and stop
judging people for their failures but helping them to find forgiveness in Christ. Let us stop
doing Church the way we like it, the way we enjoy it and the way we want it and begin to
do it the way Christ wants. Let us stop focusing on ourselves and stop serving our own
interests and needs and begin to focus on the great commission and evangelism and soul
winning; bearing in mind that until the great commission becomes our primary concern,
our prayers and problems will not be of interest to God our Makers. Let us begin to
communicate God's powerful truth and life changing hope in the language of love, with
passion,focus and faith. Let us get involved in practical evangelism and soul winning
because:
54
Jesus Christ is our model in soul winning (Luke19:10, Mt28:19,20)
We cannot afford to fail Him, Let us arise and take the gospel to sinners where they are
waiting for us, God is expecting us to go everywhere preaching the Gospel.
Let Us Pray:
1. Fill us o Lord with your Holy Spirit and Power to walk with you and work for you acceptably
in the name of Jesus Christ.
2.Let your transforming and saving power move across our Churches and our land o God in
the name of Jesus Christ.
3.O Lord, we repent of our sins, our apathy, our negligence, and disobedience to your
command; please purify us and restore us o Lord in the name of Jesus Christ.
4.Holy Spirit, we invite you to have your way in our lives and in our assemblies and empower
us to preach the gospel to all peoples and tribes passionately, consistently and
aggressively in Jesus name.
5. Pour out your power and presence like a mighty rushing wind, ignite our hearts with a
renewed passion for Jesus and for souls in the name of Jesus Christ.
6.Revive us with a fresh hunger for you and a fervent desire to obey and preach the gospel

Great Commission to His disciples and mandated the to go to all the nations of the world,
preaching the gospel of the Kingdom In compliance with this mandate, the Gospel Faith

as a small fellowship in the living room of a rented apartmenti 1985 in the United States,
has grown to over 20 assemblies spread acro the USA,Canada,Mexico, and Jamaica. The

Although, there is palpable resistance to the gospel in North and South American continents
due to people's apathy, the proliferation of false religions and ideologies, and unfriendly
governmental/institutional policies, there is no doubt that these walls of resistance will
collapse with ceaseless prayer bombardment. As the Lord confirms His word with signs
following, we shall see the much-needed revival in the two continents.
Lastly, we need to pray that the Lord would come through for our Churches and people in
North and South America and settle them in the land,especially those who have immigration
issues and other needs, so that they could be better positioned to do more for the Lord in
their various locations. The zeal of the Lord shall perform this in Jesus' name.

DAY 21:WEDNESDAY, 22ND JANUARY 2025
This story is very relevant and applicable to our retirees today. They are a set of people
that had invested their lives and resources to the services of the Church and humanity.
God has not forgotten them, we also like David must not forget them. Some of their
colleague had died, others are alive.All of them must be remembered for good. As we
pray and provide for the needs of those who are alive, we must not forget the families
of those of them who had gone to be with the Lord. The irony of the retirees is that
they are all old and tired. The crippling condition of Mephiboseth, Jonathan 's son is
the exact description of the majority of our retirees today. Many of us are occupying
their former positions as David was spitting on the throne where Jonathan was
supposed to be occupying, all things being equal. Let us not neglect these people, let
us give them hope, love and life to live the same way David did to the family of
Jonathan. They need legs to walk,hands to feed and carry them and shoulders to lean
upon. Like our God, let us make ourselves available as present help in this time of their
needs.During Christmas, new year, annual convention and other important occasions,
let us remember and make them happy. As many times as possible,let us make them
happy.

DAY 22: THURSDAY, 23RD JANUARY 2025
FOCUS: SETTLEMENT OF ALL THE CASES OF MARRIABLE SINGLES
Bible passage today is one of the most important stories of the Bible.
3.Jesus has both the interest and the power to solve all problems.
4.The prayer focus today centres on two important marital nceds, pre and post-marriage needs
which is a suitable partner and the fruit of the womb.
These two all-important needs affect some individuals among us, not all of us. Yet, it does not
diminish the importance of the prayers. To do justice to the prayer, each of us should put
ourselves in the position of the people who have these two crucial needs. The man or woman
to marry and children after marriage.
Jesus went the extra mile to meet their need at the marriage of the Cana of Galilee. This was
because Mary, His mother who stood as the intermediary or intercessor went the extra mile in
her petition. We will do the same today, because He is the same yesterday, today and forever
(Heb. 13:8). Let us put our feet in Mary's shoes to go the extra mile to petition the throne of
grace on behalf of our brothers and sisters in our prayer focus today.The fervent prayer of the
righteous avails much (James 5:16).
3.Dear Father, we approach the last one week of our prayers with a heavy burden in our hearts
about our matured unmarried brothers
63
and sisters as well as the waiting couples, please be merciful unto them.
4.Joshua 5:8-9: Remove the reproach of inability to marry and inability to bear children
in the lives of all concerhed GOFAMINT members in Jesus' name.
5.We plead,oh Lord, from the bottom of our hearts, that you provide "bone of bone and
flesh of flesh" to our unmarried brothers and sisters and children for all waiting
couples in GOFAMINT in Jesus name.
6.Heb. 4:16: We all come to the throne of mercy, we obtain the grace to plead on behalf
of these brethren, Lord show them mercy on our behalf.
7.We covet the same grace that Mary received at the marriage of Cana of Galilee as we
ask for these brethren, let us receive in Jesus name.
8.As you gave directives on what to do at the Cana of Galilee, speak clearly to all these
affected brethren to know what to do to get; their miracles in Jesus' name.
9.Whatever negativity may be standing on their way or in their lives, we plead the blood
of Jesus and remove them in Jesus name.
10. All marks and signs of evil, we remove you from their lives in Jesus'name.
11. Whatever each of these brethren need to put in order in their lives,we obtain the
grace for them to put them right in Jesus name.
12. We declare open heaven and open doors for each of them in Jesus'name.
13. We tap the anointing and the grace of God upon our General Overseer,Pastor (Dr) E.
O. Abina and release it upon all singles and waiting mothers for immediate open
doors in Jesus' name.
FOCUS:NIGERIA! O LORD COME TO OUR AID; THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
64
igeria is a beloved country that can be likened to a land "flowing with milk and
honey". No country in Western Sahara can boast of her human and natural
resources, even the western countries respect
64
and acknowledge her numerous endowments.
It is dishearten to note that Nigeria is presently under a "siege”. Siege from incorrigible leaders
As it is, we have reached the cross-road. Poverty in the front,unemployment at the centre, insecurity
in the rear, tribalism and religion intolerance on both sides.
There is a penchant for mismanagement of the country's resources in virtually all sectors; we need
not conclude that "it is an ill wind that blows no one any good". Let us pray, groan and call for divine
intervention.
It is now or never!
LET US PRAY
1.Lord,though our atrocities testify against us; intervene for your name sake for our backslidings
are many ... (Jer 14: 7). Heal our Land.
2.Lord,you are righteous, but our country is covered with shame. The blood of the innocent cry for
vengeance, let the blood of Jesus atone for our land.
3. Heavenly Father, the conscience of the citizenry is dead. People tell lies at will and engage all
manners of manipulations; kindly intervene by raising our conscience from death; heal us in
Jesus' name.
4.Despite incessant rain and the urge to go back to farming; fear of attack and kidnapping are
threatening food production; Lord, we need your intervention in Jesus' name.
5.Restiveness of the youths has given birth to multiple financial crimes;Lord intervene and deliver
our youths.
6.The government at all levels seems to have lost all senses of economic expansion; come to our
aid O Lord and deliver us from unexpected strangulation.
7.people are daily losing faith in government and religious denominations; Lord, let there be revival
across the nation in Jesus'name.
8.The well-being of a nation is predicated on her economy; Lord heals Nigerian currency (naira) and
strengthens our purchasing power in Jesus' name.
65
9.governmont policies are daily aggravating our problems. Lord Jesus;we need you at
this moment.
10. Nigeria elections are mere caricature and mockery of democracy; Lord,sanitize our
democratic process and give us leaders after your own heart in Jesus' name.
11. Merciful Father, raise up torch-bearers of the gospel whose leadership style will
restore hope and confident in the citizenry in Jesus' name.
13. Heavenly Father, help our legislators to enact laws that will address the imbalance
in various sectors and the courage to implement it in Jesus' name.
14. Lord, we need you at all time; intervene and save our country.
15. Nothing thrives with empty stomach; deliver us from imminent famine in Jesus'
name.

US24: SATURDAY25TH
LORD,A GOFAMINTJANUARY,2025
NEXT GENERATION THAT WILL BE
TOPIC: PURE AND HOLY ON PURPOSE LIKE DANIEL (DANIEL 1:8, PROV.30:12)
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
aniel, a young man who lived a life of godliness, diligent prayer and fasting,
was living in a foreign land (Babylon) and surrounded by ungodly influences, and yet
he chose to remain pure and faithful to God. The next generation must make a
deliberate choice to live pure and holy lives, not because of their environment, but
despite it. Like Daniel,they must resolve in their hearts to honor God above all else.
Daniel prayed three times a day, and fasted consistently. God is prepared to raise up
young people like Daniel in the GOFAMINT, who are diligent in their prayer lives and
fasting, and will also not defile themselves by entertaining the filth of the world.
Daniel lived consistently pure, because He was a man of consistent prayer!I don't care
if you can pray all night on an emotional spur or consistent during this 30 days fasting
and prayer. What matters is, how diligent are
66
you in prayer? What's more important than: how loud you pray is how much you cry
when you pray, how many goose bumps you get while you pray, how many visions God
shows you while you pray, how many times you get slain in the Spirit when you pray,
etc. Daniel was promoted to one of the 120 governors over Babylon: "Then this Daniel
became distin-guished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent
spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom."(Dan. 6:3)
God is looking for distinguished and excellent people in this corrupt generation.
The next generation must make a deliberate choice to live pure and holy lives, not
because of their environment, but despite it. Like Daniel, they must resolve in their
hearts to honor God above all else.The next generation must not only live holy lives
but do so on purpose. Holiness should be intentional, driven by a desire to please God
and live according to His Word.This generation should understand that holiness is not
an accident but a deliberate pursuit of God's righteousness!
Like Daniel, the next generation must be courageous in standing for their faith, even
when it's unpopular. They will face pressures to compromise their values, but with
God's strength, they can stand firm. Courage to remain pure and holy will be a
hallmark of their faithfulness, regardless of the temptations or challenges they
encounter.
Daniel was distinguished; not only by his purity but by the wisdom and excellence with
which he carried out his duties. The next generation must also seek God's wisdom to
navigate a world filled with corruption and ungodliness. Their holiness should shine
through their work, decisions,and lifestyle, setting them apart as examples of integrity
and righteousness.Just as Daniel influenced kings and nations through his purity,prayer
life, and unwavering faith, the next generation will be empowered to influence the
world for Christ. As they live lives of holiness and dedication, God will use them to
bring about transformation in their families,communities, and even nations.
67
for the Kingdom. Let us team up with our G.O. through these prayers for the realization of this
goal.
Prayer Points
1.Heavenly Father, we pray that You raise up for us in the GOFAMINT, a generation that will desire
purity above all else; in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
2.Let the hearts of our youth be set on living for You, O Lord, and cause their hearts to be returned
to the hearts of the founding fathers in Kingdom values (Mal. 4:5-6).
3.Let our next Generation be firmed and remain undefiled by the influences of the world. Give
them the grace to walk in purity as Daniel did in Jesus name.
4.Lord,we ask that You grant this next generation a deep understanding of the importance of
holiness unto You above political correctness in Jesus name.
5.Because excellence finds no place in mediocrity and mediocrity finds no place in excellence,
Father, endue our next generation with the seven-fold Spirit of God (Isaiah 11:1-2) to be
preferred above their contemporaries (Psalm 45:7).
6. Father,we pray that You fill the next generation with courage to stand for what is right, just as
Daniel did, and provide them with godly leaders as mentors in Jesus name.
7.When faced with temptations, pressures, or threats, let our next generation be strong in their
faith and refuse to compromise in Jesus name.
8.Lord,we ask that You pour out Your wisdom upon this next generation,to be bold witnesses for
Your truth to kings and nations just as You did for Daniel in Jesus Name.
9.May they live with integrity and excellence, demonstrating that holiness is not only inward but
also reflected in their work and decisions in Jesus Name.
10. Father, use our next generation as vessels of honour to bring the early apostles and their
Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) in Jesus Mighty Name.
68
Now pray the following prayers vehemently for yourself, as a partaker with the next
generation:
11. Oh Lord please make me pure in heart, so that I can see You, and mnake my
thoughts and imaginations always be godly and pure.
12. O Lord, I receive grace to fully agree with Your will, Your desires and ways and I
receive grace to pursue righteousness and godly character.
13. 'O Lord, make my life devoid of all darkness and carnality in word, in thought, and
in deed to help me fulfill Your purpose here on earth.
14.`Oh Lord of righteousness, in this world that is full of violence,selfishness, murder
and other evil deeds, teach our next generation to walk the path of holiness. In
Jesus Name.
15.`Oh Lord, teach me your word and make it easy to apply it to my life so that I will
see goodness all the days of my life in Jesus name.
16. 'Oh Lord, give me the spirit of humility and grace so that I will be able to keep your
commandments and walk with you in holiness.
17. 'Father, let the GOFAMINT youths not be swept off by satanic agenda on the seven
mountains of influence taking people away from God, but rather let them bring
godly influences on these mountains.
18. Father, raise up cur next generation to remember God in the days of their youth,
and to raise their own next generations too to possess the gates of their
enemies. (Gen. 22:17).
69
To enjoy undeniable prosperity by God you must be qualified for it. it is indeed true that
man was blessed from creation, but to enter into it after the fall; something must be
done to activate God's blessing,Verse 1categorically and unequivocally declares that the
man who qualifies for blessings will beblessed under stated conditions. Therefore, our
youths and students in GOFAMINTS must fit in to these conditions and then enjoy
undeniable prosperity all the days of their lives.
1. Must not walk in the counsel of the ungodly (wicked)
This is the foundation, the thinking realm. It should be noted that the fall of man
originated from the thinking realm where satan gave his counsel to Eve.Likewise, the
temptation of Jesus was also through satan's offer of counsel in the thought realm to
generate sinful actions. However,Jesus understood that a man that must please God
should not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. He must consciously reject the counsel of
the ungodly.According to Prov. 4:14-15, he must not walk in the way of evil; he must
avoid it, and turn away from it. The counsel of the wicked (ungodly) comes from his own
unregenerate heart (Jer. 7:24, 17:9), impatience attitude (Ps 106:13-14;1 Sam 13:8-15),
and satanic inspiration (Isa 19:3, 47:12-15,Jam.3:14-16). However, a man that must be
blessed should not walk in the counsel of the wicked because it leads to destruction (Ps
107:11-12, 2 Chr. 25:14-16);a good example is Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12:1-18.
The thinking of the ungodly is portrayed in Job 21:14-16, 22:13-18; “They say to God,
'Leave us alonel We have no desire to know your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we
should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?'... 'What does God know? Can
he judge through the deep darkness?Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see, and he
walks on the vault of heaven.' 'Depart from us,' and 'What can the Almighty do to us?'"
Job was wise enough to stand aloof from the plans of the wicked because he knew that
their prosperity was not in their own hands; this should be the disposition of every
GOFAMINT youth or student. May the counsel of the wicked be far from GOFAMINT
youths and students, in Jesus' Name.
Your stand reveals your conviction, belief. To stand in the way of sinners is to hold the
same conviction or belief with the sinners, such as: Heaven helps those who help
2. Must not stand in the way of sinners.
themselves; But the Bible says. "If God does not help you, who can help you". Premarital
sex is not bad as long as they love themselves and they are ready to marry themselves;
but the Bible says
70
and the bed should be undefiled".
mandated to sin, and if he does not, he will be sinning against the lawof but they
should do everything to consciously guard their livesfrom sinful money anywhere),
marketing through seduction, pornography,etc.They should consider Joseph and
Daniel and a host of other biblical heroes.
Remember what Judas did to be blessed-he sold off his Lord (Boss); what Lot did to
be blessed - he greedily hijacked the best fromhis benefactor,etc. Therefore, learn
not to stand in the way of these sinners especially now when people are making
money through any means. The world will tell you, it doesn't matter, use what you
have to get what you want.Christians must beware, because the Bible solidly
established that "the blessings of the Lord make rich without adding sorrow"
3. Must not sit in the seat of the scornful (scoffer).
The scornful (scoffer) is someone who mocks God. To sit in their seat is assumed to
be one of them. Goliath and Sennacherib king of Assyria mocked God (1 Sam. 17:8-
10, 2 Chr. 32:9-19). Scoffers take Gods name in vain, joke with the holy names of
God; look down on God's power and ability. To mock God is to treat God with
contempt, which is, lacking respect to anything of God. It means an open disrespect
for God or anything of God or a willful disobedience to His authority and word.
To mock God may means the following:
When you fail to pay your tithe timely and accurately or total refusal to pay
tithe, you are mocking God.
When God raised you and promoted you greatly and yet your offerings and
commitment remain at the low level it used to be,you are mocking God!
When God answer your prayers and granted your requests and you are
uungrateful and appears as if nothing happened like the nine lepers Jesus
mentioned; you are mocking God!
When you disobey His commands and appear indifferent to His
instructions or words you are mocking God like Eli!
When God keeps warning you on the same thing over and over and you
turn deaf ears to Him, you are mocking God (Prov. 24-32).
71
When you divert God's money to personal projectsandcover up as if He does
not know, you are mocking God (Ananias and Sapphira).
72
time; they shall receive timely favour in life (Ps 102:13);and they shall be helped early in
life (Ps 46:4-5). Since the leaves of the tree never wither,it means freshness and
healthiness. By God promise, GOFAMINT youths and students shall never lose their
freshness, vigor and vitalitythey shall be healthy, their fruits shall not be consumed,
making new successes from time to time, in Jesus' Name. They shall be prosperous in all
they lay their hands; just like Joseph, the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand
(Gen 39:3,23).
PRAYER WARFARE
1.Everything that makes GOFAMINT youths and students unqualified for true blessing and
undeniable success in all fields of life, be uprooted by fire, in Jesus' Name.
2.Every power and every sacrifice, challenging the covenant blessings of GOFAMINT
youths and students, expire now and give way by fire, in Jesus' Name.
3.Father, by the blood of Jesus, qualify all GOFAMINT youths and students for undeniable
breakthrough and prosperity in their academics and life endeavours, in Jesus'
Name.
4. Any way of blessing manifesting at the expense of their greatness and eternal life, be
closed permanently by fire, in Jesus' Name.
5. Reuben mortgaged his fortunes and patriarchal blessings for temporary sexual
enjoyment; likewise Esau for the sake of a morsel of pottage, sold his birthright. O
Lord, open the understanding of GOFAMINT youths and students to wisdom lest
they mortgage their covenant and eternal blessings, in Jesus' Name.
6.Merciful father, rearrange the journey of our youths and students that has been
scattered by yielding to the influence of the sinners, in Jesus'Name.
7.Delilah was hired against Samson, the presidents & princes in Babylonia kingdom
volunteered themselves to conspire against Daniel. Father,everyone hired or
volunteer to make GOFAMINT youths and students fail and fall on my way to
undeniable prosperity and flourishing life,be arrested and wasted, in Jesus' Name.
8.Father,open the eyes of GOFAMINT youths and students to any area where they are
mocking You. Correct and forgive them by your mercy,in Jesus' Name.
73
9.GOFAMINT youths and students; receive grace to delight in the Lord and the power
of His word all the days of your lives, in Jesus' Name.
10. Father, if You bless GOFAMINT youths and students, they will be blessed.
Therefore, regardless of their weaknesses, because of Your unfailing mercy, O
Lord God of GOFAMINT, bless our youths and students with irrevocable
blessings, in Jesus' Name.
11. Prophetic confession by all youths and students as they come to the altar, after
the confession, the Pastor will pray for them:
I believe in God, and I boldly confess, by the authority of Jesus Name, that "As the
roots of the tree planted by water stretched to the stream,so shall the Lord connect
me to the source of unfailing wealth. God shall so bless me, beyond all my personal
challenges and family limitations. As the leaves of the tree planted by the waterside
remains evergreen, so shall the Lord sustain and support my life by his unending
supplies. As the Lord liveth,I shall never know famine time in my finances, I shall not
know failure in my studies; rather I shall remain fruitful in season and out of season
and constantly enjoy Gods abundant supplies to be fruitful and full. May God make my
stems so strong in my endeavours whereby I become a ruling force in my generation.
May I rank high among the great people in my family, and my career field. Because I
am God's seed, I will occupy great places in life and godliness. Henceforth, my roots
shall spread out to the waters and the glory of my destiny shall remain ever fresh and
shining; in the name of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen and Amen!
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
inancial giving is a form of worship and a tangible way to express our loyalty to
God. When Church members and ministers commit to financially supporting the work
74
of God, they reflect their faithfulness not only in words but also in action. This loyal
support is crucial for the
74
Church's mission and growth.Just as the Church depends on consistent financial support
to operate and fulfill its mission, God promises that as we give consistently, He will
provide for all our needs.
Those who support the Church financially can expect God's blessings to flow continuously
into their lives. He takes care of those who take care of His house.Every resource we have
comes from God, and He has called us to be faithful stewards of these resources. When
we become dependable financiers of the Church, we are partnering with God in His
work,acknowledging that He is the Provider of all we possess. The consistency and loyalty
in giving reflects our commitment to advancing His Kingdom on earth.
Money has been traditionally defined as 'a medium of exchange for goods,and
services'.Money is a tool that was originally invented as an alternative to the barter
system and is a more efficient system than carrying goods around to exchange for what
you want. Wealth usually refer to the possession of money, property and assets. It is the
abundance of possessions of value and the state of having accumulated these objects.
God blesses us with wealth and money so that we can manage and deploy them for His
purpose of reconciling men to Himself.
Those who are dependable and loyal in their financial giving; play a crucial role in building
the Kingdom of God. Their contributions help the Church expand its outreach, support
its ministries, and make a difference in the community. As they give, they partner with
God in the expansion of His kingdom on earth.
God honors loyalty, especially when it comes to the work of His kingdom.Those who are
faithful in financially supporting the Church experience God's favor in every area of their
lives. They open the door forunending blessings,divine protection, and continuous
breakthroughs because their loyalty touches God's heart.
The Great Commission assignment on which we had been sent by our Lord Jesus Christ
has the widest scope ever-all creatures in all nations and in all places, greatest
authorization and mandate-go in My Name, and of course the greatest resources backing
ever - all authority in Heaven and earth.(Matt. 28:19-20). This resources back-up of
course includes finances, and we must therefore claim in this session, both the finances
and the financiers as our possessions in the GOFAMINT, because God had said His
Kingdom will yet spread through prosperity (Zech. 1:19).
75

DAY 27: TUESDAY, 28 JANUARY, 2025
FOCUS:MAGNETIC GRACE, MARVELOUS HELP AND TOTAL PROTECTION FOR ALL OUR
FIELDS AND MINISTERS IN AFRICA MISSION
"And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and
couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of
them"(Acts 15:14-15).
The African Missions needs Marvelous help commanded from above and obeyed by
men to advance the kingdom of Christ in Africa, it was that kind of Marvellous help
received by king Uzziah and he excelled as a king (Chron.26:14-15),it was that kind of
Marvelous help that Paul received that made Lydia thepurple seller to beg him to allow
77
her to sponsor his ministry(Acts 16:13-15). When such marvellous help comes, it's
always divine and irresistible.
Our ministers in the African Missions fields also need total protection of darkness who
do not want the light of the gospel to shine over Africa.king Herod arrested him and
put him in the inner prison, chained him to
77
two other soIdiers with the intention to kill him. But God sent his angels who brought him
out of the prison and caused the chains on his hands to droplike a small piece of old clothe
while the iron doors open on their own accord for him to pass (Acts 12:3-11).
That was also the kind of total protection we are praying for today. It was the same kind
that Apostle Paul enjoyed when a great storm took hold of his ship on the way to Rome for
fourteen nights (Acts 27:20-28). But God delivered him safely and all those that were on
the ship with him. As we pray today, our Ministers and Members of the Church in the
African Missions shall enjoy spiritual and physical protection and fortification in Jesus
name.
Prayer Points:
1.Let's begin to thank God and appreciate him for his kindness, his faithfulness, his
consistencies and his love towards all of us and his ministers in particular.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
hurch executives carry great responsibility in leading the Church and ensuring that
God's work moves forward. The mighty help of God is crucial for their success. When
God's hand is upon the leadership,they are empowered to make decisions with clarity
and to guide the Church in fulfilling its mission. God's help ensures that they are able to
overcome challenges and lead with excellence.
The physical and mental health of Church leaders is crucial to their ability to serve
effectively. A healthy leader can invest more energy into the Church, their ministries, and
their families. God desires His people,especially those in leadership, to prosper in health
so that they can carry out His will without hindrance.
80
God's paramount desire for us is the prosperity and health of our spirit,soul and body. He
desires that every part of us function in the perfection for which He has created it. That
is not negotiable. For instance, when an
80
individual is sick, everything is put on hold to treat the body.Yes,I understand that man is
a spirit being, but our bodies give us the license to function here on earth. The body is
the vehicle through which you fulfil God's plan and purpose here on earth. So proper care
and attention must be given to the body.
Wisdom is perhaps the greatest asset for Church executives. The decisions they make
have profound spiritual, financial, and communal impacts. The wisdom that comes from
God is pure, peaceful, and effective.When Church leaders seek and receive divine
wisdom, they are equipped to lead with understanding, discernment, and insight.
The families of Church executives often make significant sacrifices as their loved ones
serve in leadership roles. God cares for the entire family, and His blessings extend to them
as well. His protection, provision, and peace should cover their families as they support
the leadership responsibilities of their spouses, parents, or children.
When Church executives are united and operating under the anointing of God, the entire
Church is strengthened. The unity of the leadership sets a powerful example for the
congregation, and the anointing of God breaks yokes and brings supernatural results.
God's mighty help, health, and wisdom upon Church executives and their families ensure
that the entire body of Christ benefits.
As able ministers of the new covenant, (2 Cor. 3:6), we need to pray for our EXCO
members thatthey will minister not in mere letters but of the spirit that gives life. They
must also be people of ministries and spiritual callings;who can provide worthy
leadership to the congregation.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
hildren are given as blessing and an inheritance from the Lord.They are given to
the family as an unconquerable army for protection against the assaults and infiltrations
of enemies. They are weapons of war. The family that has them, has no reason to
entertain any form of fear whatsoever, no reason be ashamed! They have every reason
to confront the enemy confidently without wasting time. God expects and requires that
the family should be a habitation of peace. This is very essential for the family to have
serenity of mind to do what God requires and to fulfil the purpose for which the family
institution was put in place by Him. God cherishes peace in the lives of his creation. Thus,
He gives His peace that is permanent, authentic, absolutely reliable and completely
dependable!
Peace is:
ØNot the absence of problem but it is the assurance of the presence of God and what
He will do to solve the problem, (John 16:17-21).
Not the absence of a giant enemy but the assurance of the presence of God in his
mighty power to defeat the giant for us.
90
Not the absence of sickness but the presence of the balm of Gilead to bring healing
for us.
Not the absence of storm but the assurance of the presence of Christ in your boat
(family) to still the storm and restore peace or to miraculously take you away from
the storm, (John 6:17-21).
90
that God will shield our family from plague(s) by His power.
in God's word that the pestilence will not come near our family (Psalm 91:6).
assurance you have in God's word, that he will deliver our families because
we have set our love upon him. (Psalm 91:14a).He will protect your family
because you have known his name. (Psalm 91:14b).

who fears the lord, honors his word, obey His commandments and does His will. That
is biblical prosperity. Biblical prosperity is holy. It is perfect, it is complete. It comes
with peace and rest of mind. It affects every aspect of one's life. Prosperity is holy
fruitfulness.Therefore, anyone who is truly prosperous- the bible way-will love to do
things that are pure and of good report.
God expects His children to be a happy family, people, who fear the lord and thus
attract God's great blessings devoid of sorrow. To have prosperity is onething and to
maintain it is another. To have prosperity, one must And to maintain prosperity, one

existence. Therefore, you must always be intoxicated like David to seize every available
opportunity to kill the harassing and bulling Goliath of social media that will give your
destiny the expression it deserved for God to be glorified. However, it takes wisdom to fight
victoriously and fulfill one's destiny amidst heavy hostility,discouragement and
confrontations from the devil and his organised social media systems (1 Sam.17:31-37).
David possessed the grace and skill to fight and deliver the entire nation of Israel. This grace
had manifested in his life while looking after the flocks of his father, though unknown to
anyone. In addition to this grace and the skill unknown to the people of Israel except his

The fact remains that the Internet is a vast cloud of information and its size for all sort of
information is inexhaustible. However, information on the Internet or the use of the
information on the Internetis not limited to Christians alone but for all, regardless of race,

97
of the 21st century and discuss how they can be averted in our lives?
1.Social isolation: This can cause several effects such as physical,emotional, mental and
psychological issues on youths. This can lead to depression, anxiety and many
other problems (See Prov. 18:1, Gen.2:18; 4:7, Eccl. 4:9-12, Heb. 10:24-25; 13:1-
2, Gal. 6:2,1 Ps.73:23-26,lsa,41:10,Lam.3:22-24,Heb.4:15-16).
2. Self-comparison:The curated nature (carefully selected and packaged)of content on
social media platforms can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-comparison. It
can also lead to tremendous stress,pressure to compare oneself to others and
increased sadness and isolation (See Gal. 6:4-10;5:22-25, Luke 18:9-14, 1 Cor.
13:4-8a, Phil.2:2-4, Col.3:1-3, 15-17, Rom. 3:21-24; 8:37-39, Eph. 2:8-10).
3. Addiction: Social media can be addictive; people can spend hours scrolling through
their feeds, checking notifications and responding to messages. This always result
to inadequate sleep and lack of physical activity (See 1 Cor. 10:13; 6:9-12; 15:33,
Jam.4:7;5:15-16,Rom.5:3-5, 1 Pet. 5:10,1 John 2:16).
4. Low self-esteem (feeling insecure): The negative effects of social media on youth
mental health can also include lower self-esteem and comparison anxiety. Most
people only post the positive aspects of their lives on social media, giving an
unrealistic view of reality,which can make them seem more popular, attractive or
wealthy (See Deut. 32:10, Ps. 63:3; 71:5, 2 Cor. 12:9, Eph. 2:10, Jer.
31:3,lsa.43:1;61:10, Ps. 111:7;139:14).
5. Defective Relationship: Social media is everywhere with dating and gaming sites
making people get engaged online and learning new negative lifestyles, having
physical abuse in some instances. Also,misinterpreting comments, likes or
connections on social media may spark feelings of distrust and lead to unnecessary
conflicts. The ease of monitoring online activities can escalate into unhealthy
surveillance, eroding the foundation of trust essential for a strong relationship. A
husband and wife may spend time next to each other but their minds are
engrossed in their social entertainment as they scroll through their feeds (See. Jer.
17:9, Matt. 5:21-26, Eph. 4:2-3,1Pet. 4:8, Col. 3:13-14, 1 John 3:16-18, Phil.2:3-
4,Ps.10:4).
6.Anxiety, worry and depression: People who spend much time on social
98
media are more likely to experience anxiety and depression. Scial user's
life.However, having access to other's highlight reels an increase our own
feelings of dissatisfaction with our own day-to-ay.This can impact self-esteem,
trigger anxiety and make us want to ise social media more (See Prov. 12:25;3:5-
6, Phil.4:6-8,1 Pet.5:7,Mtt.6:34; 11:28-30, Jer. 29:11, Josh. 1:9, 1 Cor. 10:13).
7.Living in a world of fantasy: Social media is not portrayed in real fe;it is often just
fantasy where people had a false sense of belongig and connection that was not
real-world based. One big reason is tlat all those "assumed connections" people
check in on out of haiit several times a day look like they have a perfect life.
What seemsto be just perfect is not real and if your own life is not perfectas
portrayed, it can be depressing (See Eccl. 5:7, Prov. 28:19, Ps. 73:2-21,Jam. 1:14,
Dan. 4:5).
Discussion
a. How difficult is it for a Christian youth to choose what he/she wars from the
Internet?

Eph.6:12
UNDERSTANDING MOTHERHOOD
The Church is made of homes and what happens in the homes of members of the Church
made the Church. Therefore, building the homes to be free of negative effects of social
media will make the Church to have disciplined users of social media. Since wvomen are
the key to sustainable development and quality of life in the homes, they are to use their
wisdom and prayer to and Churches. This is possible because the woman, as a
101
helpmate,partner sets standard of morality and maintains peace and order in the home.
She comfortandrecognition.. She is the symbol of purity, faithfulness,submission and
devotion to her husband; and model to her children.Thegreaterpart of child rearing tasks
are carried out by the woman in the
101
home. She is primarily responsible for the child'shabitofself-control orderliness,
industriousness and honesty. Her contacts with the children during the most
formative period of their development; sets up their behaviour pattern. Sheis thus
responsible for the maintenance of utmost discipline in the family. She is the first
teacher of the child. She transmits social heritage to the child. It is from mother that
the child learns the laws of the Kingdom race, morality and ideals. The
mother,because of her intimate and sustained contact with the children, she is able
to discover and nurture her children's special traits, aptitudes and attitudes which
subsequently play a key role in the shaping of their personalities.The mother must put
aIl these traits to guide against the misuse of social media in the home.
THE WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA
It is no longer a gain saying that the social media almost runs everything in this 21st
century. Nearly everything we do is online, from reading our Bibles to all manner of
shopping, connecting with friends, e-banking, e-learning and paying bills, among
many other things. The internet has opened up new avenues of doing things that we
did not have before. With social media,people now share their thoughts and
experiences with a global audience in real-time and receive instant feedback. This has
led to a more connected world,where people can engage with one another as never
before. In summary, the main purposes of social media are Sharing,
Learning,Interacting and Marketing; they can be simplified to an acronym 'SLIM'.
There are many reasons to believe that social media is here to stay. Social media
provides an unhindered opportunity to connect with family and friends or to keep an
eye on the news, sports and weather. It is estimated that by the year 2027,5.85 billion
people will be using social media. Social media is immensely popular among the
younger generation, with 16-24year-olds spending over three hours a day on social
media.
The ever-present nature of social media necessitates that Christians think critically
about both the advantages and disadvantages of using social media platforms,as well
as the consequences of frequent use. Many of the benefits of using social media as a
Christian are evident. We can reach people with the gospel that we would otherwise
be unable to impact; we can share helpful resources which promote Christlikeness; we
can alsomutually edify and encourage one another; we can hold meetings and
fellowship online where physical gathering is not possible etc.

PNE MISUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE HOMES

family using your personal experiences.
1. It can bring forth poor or zero interactions between siblings, couples,family members
and parent-child relationships; especially, if everyone is always on their phone when
they are together, no one is paying attention to each other, stripping us of our ability
to hear and see verbal and non-verbal messages.
Social media deprives family members of learning and modelling with each other's
social cues, interpersonal relationship skills,communication and bonding.
It can also make the family members less critical and absent-minded in family issues.
Children who spend more time using technology and social media at a young age will
have difficulty understanding emotion and developing relationships and will be more
dependent on others than their peers.

and relationships being torn apart.
DISCUSSION:
A godly mother is a wise steward of her home, time and resources. Proverbs 31:27 says,
"She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness". She
takes responsibility for her resources and has a plan for the proper management of her
home and time. Drawing wisdom and guidance from the Bible, a Christian mother will
partneer with God and her husband to build a solid foundation for her home. As one, she
and her husband lead their family in worship, prayer and the reading of the Bible.They
engage their children in discussions about the challenges of social media in the light of the
Scripture. Daily, she asked the Holy Spirit to reveal various ways of creating a Christ-centered
home.
Discuss the following points:
a.Should a godly mother take responsibility for the misuse of social media in her home?
Discuss.

social media in her home?

attitudes? What are the likely effects of such attitude on her husband and home? How

CURRBING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN OUR HOMES AND
UNDERSTANDING FATHERNOOD
Fathers are responsible for everything in the home because they are created with heavy
responsibility to love their wives, nurture and train their children and to be the provider
for the home. They are the solid foundation and great anchor of their families, modeled
after the caring heart of Jesus. They are the bedrock of their families and they are under
obligation to give spiritual stability and security to their families. As the family anchor,
fathers should be capable of holding their families firmly and stopping them from being
swept away by the negative effects of social media and the currenits of immorality arising
from phones, internet,television and social media in particular. The fathers should stabilise
their families. He also sets the spiritual tone and temperature of the family as the priest
of the home (Col. 3:18-19) through constant daily devotions;because the family that prays
together, eats together, plays together and stays together.
As a caring and godly father, you must create time out of your busy schedules to teach
your children God's values. According to Deut. 6:6-7, "You shall teach them diligently to
106
your children..."(Prov.1:8-9;4:1;22:6,1 Thess.2:11-12); and teach them through your
exemplary lifebecause they may fail to 2:21-24, 1 Tim. 4:12, 1 Cor. 11:1). In addition, you
must not spare discipline
106
tom your children but lovingly correct them (Prov. 13:24; 3:12; 19:18;23:13-
14:29:7,Ep.the disciplining, modeling and teaching is love. A caring and godly father
loves his ch Prov. 23:24, Ps. 103:13, Matt. 7:9-11). Finally,a caring and godly father
prays with his ch and trust in Him (Matt. 21:22, Luke 18:1, Eph. 6:18, Phil. 4:6, Col.

THE MISUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE HOMES
Make sure your teens know they can ask you anything and that you are
always ready to talk if something is bothering them.
Most importantly, use these conversations to point your teens to Christ and
the gospel.
3.Provide Supervision (Accountability): Accountability is very important not because
you don't trust your children but because of the unpredictable human nature.
Your children need accountability for their actions online. One of the biggest
dangers of social media is that it promises secrecy. "No one will ever know what
you searched for in Google." The Biblical way to stay pure is that God sees
everything

INTRODUCTION
the face of the world entirely. Most likely, these in entions may be preparing ground for
the antichrist operations according to the end-times prophecy of "an abomination that
causes desolation" leading to one world government system (Dan. 9:27). According to
Daniel, this age is called an age of "increased knowledge" (Dan. 12:4); while Jesus referred
to this age as the "generation of vipers" (Matt. 12:34, 23:33). Because these powerful
inventions are rapidly changing the face of the world and turning the world into a global
village, the end-times warning given by Jesus to His no one misleads you [deceiving you and
leading you into error]" (Matt.24:4

Ever since Jesus sent out the disciples in twos, to carry the message of the
salvation,thegospel has been transmitted socially. Now in 21st century,
111
the presence of social media revolution offers us the huge potential to influence more
people for good and for God.Social Media is a user driven,highly accessible platform that
facilitates the user sharing thoughts, photos,videos,stories and links to a selected
audience and then allowing interaction of the audience with the user's posts.
Social media has made the whole world a highly connected community based on its
driving philosophy, the need "to belong". According to John Drane, people are looking for
two things-"to be valued and to belong."Jesse Rice adds,"The hyper rise of Facebook is
due to people's need to belong"; this is also corroborated by Babin and Zukowski who
opine that "Belonging is more important than intellectually adhering to a message."The
question is, does all this "belonging" contribute positively or negatively to our spiritual
growth?

The selfie culture is an overt fixation on self. It is one of the many negative byproducts of a
self-absorbed, narcissistic, egotistical culture that tells us that all things should be pointed
at us, including our camera lenses.Many selfies are taken for two different reasons; out of
Selfie Culture
an actual self-centered personality that seeks to celebrate oneself; or out of a position of
insecurity,looking for someone on our friend list to affirm the way we lock, dress, act or
whatever. The truth remains that when striving to follow a resurrected Saviour whose
primary message was "selfless, a constant presence of "selfie" seems hard to justify.
Discussion 1:
a.Discuss this statement: "The reality of selfie is that you are really just connecting with
yourself". "This is what I look like; this is what I do; this is my identity etc." Selfie
reveals that what matters most to us is obviously us."
b.How does the Bible describe "flesh" and "self" in our Christian journey?
Mention some ways "self" can manifest in the life of a believer and compare it with
the display of selfie on the social media.

B. Social Media Pornography
Christians must not be ignorant of the devices of the devil especially the desperate
intention of the devil to corrupt Christians through pornography and nudity on the
Social Media today by overrunning Facebook, Instagram and some other social media
platforms with porn and other sexually charged images and videos.
Most often, parents underestimated how addictive technology is for their children and
how much trouble their smartphone can get them into. There tends to be a huge gap
between what parents know their children are doing online and what those children
are actually doing. A statistics reveals that 71% of teens admitted to hiding online
activities from their parents.Passionately, we always jump to defend our children from
"bad guys" but does that same intensity translate into protecting the minds and hearts
of our children online?
Pornography is a serious issue. If you are an adult and addicted to pornography, seek
assistance from a seasoned spiritual leader; but let every parent guide and protect
their children against this social media evil.However, protecting your children is much
more challenging but not impossible.
Dangerous statistics:
93% of boys and 62% of girls are exposed to internet pornography by age
18
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 1S-24-year-olds
worldwide and studies have shown a link between lots of social media use
and teen suicides.
There was a sharp increase in cyberbullying and nline conversations about
violence among teens in the previous years.
To make matters more difficult for parents, most teens today interact
