Walking in the Fear of God: The Key to Sustained Wisdom and Honor by Kay Daniels

While many people love God, far fewer truly walk in the fear of God, and this distinction has a profound impact on one’s spiritual journey. Love for God brings us close to Him, but the fear of God keeps us aligned with His will, sustaining us on the path He has set for us. This balance of love and reverence, exemplified by biblical figures, reveals the deep wisdom inherent in fearing God, a wisdom that shapes character and upholds one’s position in God’s eyes.

1. Solomon: A Cautionary Tale of Love Without Fear

King Solomon loved God deeply, offering sacrifices and building the temple. But despite his love, his lack of sustained fear led to his eventual spiritual decline. Solomon’s story shows how love can elevate a man, yet it’s the fear of God that keeps him steady.

Reference: “Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father, only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places” (1 Kings 3:3). Later, his heart was turned by foreign wives, leading him away from God (1 Kings 11:1-4).

Lesson: Love can take us to great heights, but only the fear of God can maintain our position there.

2. The Fear of God as the Foundation of Wisdom

The Bible makes it clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. True wisdom is found not just in intellectual knowledge but in a heart aligned with God’s ways.

Reference: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments” (Psalm 111:10).

Application: Wisdom rooted in reverence for God transforms our thoughts, decisions, and actions to reflect His nature.

3. Knowing God’s Ways Versus His Acts

There is a difference between seeing God’s miracles (His acts) and understanding His character (His ways). The Israelites witnessed God’s acts but struggled to know His ways. Moses, however, desired to know God’s ways, which granted him a unique relationship with God.

Reference: “He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel” (Psalm 103:7).

Lesson: Walking in the fear of God requires us to pursue an understanding of His ways, leading to a life that mirrors His holiness.

4. The Fear of God Reflects God’s Character

Fearing God is not about terror but reverence. It’s a commitment to living by His standards and reflecting His character in our lives. Our actions, speech, and choices reveal our true understanding of God’s holiness and justice.

Reference: “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16).

Application: Holiness in character is the outward evidence of a life that fears God.

5. Grace Doesn’t Change God’s Nature

The coming of Jesus and the era of grace did not alter God’s unchanging nature. While we are forgiven, we are still called to honor God’s standards. Grace empowers us to live righteously, but the fear of God keeps us from treating grace as a license to sin.

Reference: “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid” (Romans 6:1-2).

Lesson: Grace invites us into a relationship of reverence, where we walk carefully, knowing we are representing God’s character.

6. The Fear of God Empowers Our Speech

Walking in the fear of God enables our words to carry divine authority, allowing us to speak life, truth, and encouragement aligned with God’s heart.

Reference: “For I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand” (Isaiah 51:16).

Application: When we fear God, our speech reflects His will and wisdom, as we become channels of His grace and truth.

7. Conclusion: Choosing the Path of Reverence

Knowing God’s love brings us into His family, but walking in His fear brings us into alignment with His character. The fear of God is the gateway to wisdom, the foundation of character, and the guardrail that keeps us steadfast. By embracing the fear of God, we allow our love for Him to reach its fullest expression, a life that honors, obeys, and reflects His holiness.

Prayer of Consecration

“Lord, teach me to walk in Your fear and to understand Your ways. Help me to honor You not just with words, but with a life that reflects Your holiness. Give me the wisdom to walk in reverence, that my love for You may be perfected in the fear of the Lord.”

God's word washes and make clean by Kay Daniels

1. God’s Word as a Purifying Force

When you locate and immerse yourself in the Word, you access the cleansing power of God. Just as water cleanses physically, God's Word cleanses us spiritually, washing away impurities and renewing our hearts and minds.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:26 – "That He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word."

2. God's Word as Truth and Light

The Word of God is absolute truth. Wherever it is received, it brings clarity, righteousness, and restoration. It has the power to transform any situation, aligning us with God's perfect will.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 119:105 – "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

3. Living Righteously Through Abiding in the Word

To live righteously means to live according to God’s Word, allowing it to guide and shape every part of our lives. The more we engage with His Word, the more we are empowered to walk in His ways.

Scripture Reference: John 15:3 – "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you."

4. A Consistent Flow of God’s Word: The Source of Reverence

A consistent intake of God's Word brings the fear of God alive in us, creating a reverent awe and a sincere desire to honor Him. This holy fear is not a fear of punishment but a respect that leads to obedience.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 19:9 – "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, and altogether righteous."

5. Staying on the Path of Righteousness

God's Word is the guiding force that keeps us aligned with His righteous path. Without it, we are easily swayed by distractions and deceptions, but with it, we remain steady and focused on God’s will.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 119:11 – "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

6. Access to Divine Secrets Through God’s Word

The Word of God is a doorway to divine secrets. As we dive deeper into Scripture, God reveals mysteries that lead to wisdom, favor, and breakthrough.

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 2:6 – "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."

7. The Fear of God Rooted in His Word

The fear of God takes root when we dwell in His Word, aligning our hearts with His holiness and purpose. This fear opens us to receive God’s secrets and draws us into a deeper relationship with Him.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 25:14 – "The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant."

Conclusion:

Engaging with God’s Word is more than reading; it’s a transformative experience that cleanses, illuminates, and empowers. When we live by His Word, we walk in righteousness, embrace His holy fear, and gain access to divine secrets.

Kingdom Inspiration & Gen Z Ladies: The Winning Wisdom of Singleness by Kay Daniels

1. Introduction: Foundations for Kingdom-Focused Relationships and Purposeful Singleness

Embracing each stage of interaction with wisdom and self-awareness helps Gen Z ladies lay a foundation for godly relationships and purposeful singleness, guiding them to honor God in their choices and aspirations.

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 4:7 – “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” This verse encourages young women to seek wisdom as they navigate relationships and passions.

2. The Four Phases of Kingdom-Focused Relationships

Friendship: The beginning of any meaningful connection, where values, compatibility, and mutual respect are explored.

Relationship: A deepened connection, discerning if friendship has potential for something more.

Courtship: A committed phase focused on intentional growth, shared purpose, and prayer.

Marriage: The covenant relationship representing commitment, service, and partnership in God's design.

Scripture Reference: Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” This reminds us to honor each stage as God intended.

3. Stages of Interaction Before Committed Engagement

Eye-to-Eye: Initial attraction where values and interests are observed.

Eye-to-Body: A further look into the other’s presence and expressions.

Voice-to-Voice: Communication that reveals personality, compatibility, and values.

Hand-to-Body: Physical contact, approached with discernment and a commitment to honoring God.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…? Therefore honor God with your bodies.” This verse encourages respect and intentionality in physical interactions.

4. Kingdom Self-Awareness for Personal and Relationship Growth

Known Self: Traits known to oneself and others, representing one’s authentic self.

Unknown Self: Potential and purpose yet to be revealed.

Blind Self: Qualities others see but may be unknown to oneself, revealed through trusted relationships.

Hidden Self: Personal aspects that require prayer and wisdom for proper sharing.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 139:23-24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart… and lead me in the way everlasting.” This verse emphasizes seeking God for self-discovery and growth.

5. Four Stages of Connection Development

Meeting Stage: The initial encounter that sparks interest.

Infatuation Stage: Emotional excitement, to be approached with discernment.

Reality Stage: Gaining a balanced view of each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

Decision Stage: Choosing to move forward based on shared values and God’s guidance.

Scripture Reference: Luke 14:28 – “For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost…?” This aligns with making thoughtful, prayerful decisions in relationships.

6. Five Key Influences for Kingdom Growth and Balance

Spiritual Fathers: Providing wisdom, guidance, and spiritual support.

Hebrews 13:7 – “Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.”

Mentors: Guiding career and life development.

Proverbs 11:14 – “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”

Teachers: Imparting knowledge and skills.

Proverbs 9:9 – “Instruct the wise, and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous, and they will add to their learning.”

Friends: Offering support, encouragement, and accountability.

Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Enemies: Building resilience and clarity of purpose.

Matthew 5:44 – “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

7. Purposeful S:ingleness and Preparedness

 Singleness as Preparation In Genesis 2:18-23, God’s creation of Eve for Adam was intentional. Before companionship, Adam had a season of singleness where he grew in purpose. Singleness, similarly, is a time for growth and becoming whole in Christ.

The Value of Wholeness: Singleness allows for spiritual and emotional maturity, fostering a grounded identity in God.

Scripture Reference: Genesis 2:18-23 emphasizes that God’s design for companionship is purposeful and involves preparation. Embracing singleness helps lay the foundation for a godly, balanced partnership.

The Winning Wisdom of Singleness

Just as Adam’s season of singleness was intentional, Gen Z ladies are encouraged to view singleness as a period for Kingdom growth, spiritual maturity, and self-awareness. 

By focusing on these elements, young women can navigate relationships with purpose, managing passions and choices in alignment with Kingdom values.

This title and framework underscore that embracing singleness with Kingdom wisdom prepares Gen Z ladies for future relationships built on purpose, wholeness, and alignment with God’s plan.

CELEBRATION: A KEY FEATURE OF A LIFE STYLE OF PRAISE by Kay Daniels

In a world filled with challenges and constant pursuit, we often overlook the powerful act of celebration. Celebration is more than an event; it’s a mindset that opens the door to abundance, strengthens relationships, and fuels our journey toward success. The Bible encourages us to rejoice and give thanks in all things, reminding us in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances." This act of gratitude not only lifts our spirits but also aligns us with God's blessings.

Celebrating even the small victories attracts more blessings and joy, as seen in Psalm 126:3, where the psalmist declares, "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Choosing to recognize God’s goodness strengthens our motivation and boosts our faith, helping us see His hand at work.

In Philippians 4:4, we are reminded to "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" This call to joy highlights that celebration isn’t limited to momentous occasions but can be a daily practice. As we celebrate God’s goodness in every aspect of life, we build a foundation of gratitude, inviting greater blessings and a heart aligned with His purpose.

Make celebration a daily habit, and watch as it elevates every area of your life, bringing you closer to God’s plans for abundance and joy.

1. Celebration Attracts Abundance
   When we celebrate the blessings we already have, we invite more into our lives. The Bible reminds us in Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap." Celebrating with a grateful heart attracts a greater abundance from God.

2. Gratitude is a Magnet
   Expressing gratitude through celebration draws God's favor. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 instructs, "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Our thankful heart is a magnet for God’s continued blessings.

3. Focus on the Positive
   Celebration shifts our perspective from problems to possibilities. Philippians 4:8 urges us: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Focusing on what is good in our lives fuels positive growth and possibilities.

4. Strengthens Relationships
   Celebrating others’ successes builds community and unity. The Bible says in Romans 12:15, "Rejoice with those who rejoice." Celebrating others strengthens bonds and fosters love and appreciation among family, friends, and community.

5. Enhances Motivation
   Recognizing our victories, even small ones, keeps us motivated to strive for more. Hebrews 10:24 encourages us: "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Celebrations motivate and inspire others as well as ourselves.

6. Creates Lasting Memories
   Celebrations create moments that we cherish and remember during challenging times. Psalm 77:11 reflects this, saying, "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago." Reflecting on past victories reminds us of God’s faithfulness.

7. Joy is a Choice
   Choosing joy, especially in celebration, is a deliberate act of faith. James 1:2 advises, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." By choosing joy and celebrating even amid trials, we honor God and reinforce our faith.

8. Celebrate Daily
   Celebrating daily aligns our hearts with gratitude for God’s ongoing blessings. Psalm 118:24 declares, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Each day is a gift worthy of celebration, inviting us to experience God’s joy anew.

9. Use Your Voice
   Speaking words of affirmation and gratitude during celebration magnifies the joy. Psalm 34:1 reminds us, "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth." Declaring gratitude out loud fills the atmosphere with joy and reverence.

10. Plant Seeds of Celebration
    What we celebrate grows. By acknowledging blessings, we plant seeds for more. Galatians 6:7 teaches, "A man reaps what he sows." Celebrating and sowing joy into others’ lives reaps a harvest of greater joy and blessings in our own.

ACTIVATING THE POWER OF THE SOUL by Kay Daniels

"Everything great starts with imagination, powered by the Spirit of Understanding."

In the beginning of all true greatness is the power of imagination—an inner vision that can see beyond the visible. The Spirit of Understanding enlightens this imagination, providing insights and perceptions that transcend human logic. Just as God imparted understanding to Bezalel for the intricate design of the tabernacle (Exodus 31:3-5), so He breathes insight into our imaginations, giving us glimpses of divine purposes.

"It is retained in the memory, powered by the Spirit of Knowledge."

Our memories are strengthened by the Spirit of Knowledge, which reinforces the truths and ideas given to us. Like David, who stored the word of God in his heart (Psalm 119:11), knowledge keeps our spiritual imaginations alive and continuously before us, empowering us to meditate upon God’s purposes and to retain the wisdom necessary to carry them forward.

"It is enhanced by the intellect, powered by the Spirit of Wisdom."

Wisdom guides our intellect to bring structure to the inspiration we have received. With wisdom, we gain the practical ability to apply what we know, transforming abstract visions into concrete realities. As Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom." It is this wisdom that equips us to navigate the challenges and complexities of bringing God-inspired visions to life.

"It attracts our desire via the motions, moderated by the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord."

Our desires are aligned with God’s will through a reverence for His ways. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord instills in us a holy caution, guiding our emotions and helping us to maintain a pure heart. Proverbs 19:23 reminds us that "the fear of the Lord leads to life," providing a steady hand as our desires and ambitions unfold.

"It establishes our desires via the will, powered by the Spirit of Counsel."

The Spirit of Counsel solidifies our desires, leading us to a point of decision and conviction. Counsel gives us clarity and direction, helping us to align our actions with God's purpose. Just as God promised counsel to His people in Psalm 32:8, guiding them with His eye, we, too, are led into decisive action, grounded in the will of God.

Thus, with the Spirit's sevenfold manifestation—understanding, knowledge, wisdom, fear, counsel, might, and reverence—we become capable of realizing God-given greatness. These attributes of the Spirit are not merely qualities to be admired but the power of God within us to bring forth His purposes, as reflected in Isaiah 11:1-3.

OT EVERYONE BELONGS IN YOUR INNER CIRCLE by Kay Daniels

NOT EVERYONE BELONGS IN YOUR INNER CIRCLE

Be mindful of those you permit into your inner circle. Not everyone is meant to stay close, and for you to advance in life and achieve great things, certain people may need to be moved out. These decisions are necessary to fully live out God’s purpose for you.

"And when Jesus came to the house of the ruler and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, 'Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.' And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose." — Matthew 9:23-25

In your journey, there may be a "crowd" that gathers—people who don’t understand or value the calling on your life. If you’re serious about your purpose, you must be bold enough to distance yourself. When the next chapter of your destiny unfolds, let those who don’t belong in that story step aside.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.” — Proverbs 13:20

Surround yourself with those who celebrate God’s grace in you, not those who merely tolerate it. When God is set to do something new in your life, He sends people of purpose, vision, and encouragement. But beware: when the enemy aims to distract or destroy, he often sends people too.

"Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" — 1 Corinthians 15:33

Step out today in your God-given authority and release what He has deposited in you. Embrace those who lift you higher in faith, and distance from those who cloud your purpose. May you experience life where others see only impossibility, and may what is in you come alive in Jesus' name!

Good morning, and stay word-inspired. 🌄

EROS AND PHILIO IS NOT ENOUGH TO POWER MARRIAGE by Kay Daniels

Love (eros and philio) is not enough for a successful marriage. Love (eros and philio) can be deceiving and may not be a reliable qualification for marriage. 

Love (Eros and philio) may bring happiness, but it does not necessarily provide the tools and skills needed to make a marriage work.

A successful marriage requires knowledge (spiritualized memory) and understanding (spiritualized imagination) about how to live and commit to your partner.

 Understanding how to navigate the challenges of a committed relationship is a crucial element for a lasting and fulfilling partnership.

Love (eros or philio) can make us believe that we can overcome any obstacles in a relationship. However, the reality is that many divorced individuals were once deeply in love (eros or philio) with their partners. 

This challenges the notion that love (eros or philio) is what keeps a marriage together. Love (eros or philio) alone does not guarantee success in marriage. 

While love (eros or philio) brings happiness, it lacks the necessary ingredients to sustain a marriage. The knowledge that comes via the Love of God (agape) is what truly makes a marriage work. This love (agape), which is God in itself is what powers marriages that has capacity to last long. 

Many people enter into marriage solely based on their feelings of love (philio or eros), without considering the practical aspects and challenges of living with someone.

 Our culture places a strong emphasis on emotions, leading us to make impulsive commitments without considering the practical aspects of a long-term commitment.

To protect and sustain a marriage, individuals need to acquire knowledge about how to navigate the complexities of a long-term commitment. 

This knowledge may include understanding effective communication, conflict resolution, compromise, and the ability to adapt to change. 

By possessing this knowledge, individuals can better equip themselves to build and maintain a successful marriage.

In conclusion, love (philio or eros) is not the sole determinant of a successful marriage. Instead, knowledge of the love of God (1 Corinthians 2:9) is what powers marriages that work. You also need the knowledge of how to navigate the complexities of a committed relationship, for this is crucial for a lasting and fulfilling partnership.

WISDOM KEYS: BUILDING CHRACTER THAT ENTHRONES by Great Thinkers Group

Unlocking Supernatural Breakthroughs Through Laser focused Praise: The Secret of Kingdom Giants - Kay Daniels

Praise is a divine key to the rise of spiritual giants. Whatever you genuinely praise God for, He supernaturally multiplies in your life.

The Power of Praise in Unlocking God's Favor

Praise is a powerful enabler of God's lifting power. According to Revelation 3:7, Psalm 34:1, and Psalm 55:17, consistent praise attracts divine interventions. It is through praise that God raises His people, positioning them for elevation.

Addiction to Praise Equals Supernatural Addition

Living a life filled with praise brings about continuous supernatural blessings. Numbers 11:1 and 1 Corinthians 10:10 warn against the dangers of complaints, which only complicate issues. Instead, we must learn to respond with gratitude, as shown in Habakkuk 3:19. You can literally sing your way out of difficult circumstances.

Praise: The Pathway to Becoming a Modern-Day Abraham

Praise is a covenant secret that brings about the rise of a new generation of Abrahams. Isaiah 51:1-3, Romans 4:20, and John 8:39 emphasize the link between praise and becoming a blessed friend of God. When you embrace praise, you mirror Abraham’s heart and reap divine blessings.

The Power of Obedience Over Empty Rituals

Rather than resisting the truth, we must seek to understand where we may have missed it. No amount of prayer and fasting can undo the validity of God’s Word. Obedience to His Word is what yields results. Praise also brings fresh anointing, as seen in Psalm 92:10-15.

Praise: The Gateway to Fresh Oil and New Heights

With a lifestyle of consistent praise, the oil of grace on your life never runs dry. Psalm 89:20-24 assures us that fresh oil from God will protect you from affliction and disarm your enemies. Praise opens new doors, and when God opens a door, no force can shut it (Revelation 3:7-8).

Atmosphere for God's Presence

Praise creates the perfect atmosphere for God's presence to dwell (Psalm 24:7, Psalm 22:3). When God steps in, every closed door in your life opens, as demonstrated in Acts 16:25 and Psalm 99:1. The presence of God dissolves every barrier, just as darkness cannot stand in the presence of light.

Securing Open Doors: Practical Steps

1. Be Born Again – Receive the light of life by giving your life to Christ. When your soul is spiritualized, you step into divine access.

2. Stay in Love with God – Romans 8:26 and Ephesians 3:17-19 remind us that loving God opens doors no one can shut. Abraham's obedience (Genesis 22:2) and God’s love for the world (John 3:16) show us the rewards of true love for God.

3. Lay Hold on God's Word – Every desired door can be found in the Word. Search the Scriptures (Job 6:25) to discover the truth that will unlock your breakthrough. Luke 11:52 and Hosea 4:6 tell us that the knowledge of the truth is key.

4. Follow God's Leadings – Stay committed to seeking God's guidance in every area of life (Isaiah 45:1). When God leads, doors open on their own (Proverbs 3:5-6). Psalm 23:1-6 and Isaiah 48:21 highlight the blessings that follow God’s leading.

5. Crave Fresh Anointing – Stay hungry for a fresh touch from God (Isaiah 10:27). The fresh oil will break every yoke and open doors of opportunity.

6. Serve God and His Kingdom – Matthew 28:18-20 encourages us to make God's business our priority. When we serve the interests of His Kingdom, God takes care of ours.

Conclusion

A lifestyle of praise brings divine encounters, fresh anointing, and the opening of new doors. Embrace praise, stay obedient, and make God's interests your priority, and every obstacle before you will be removed in Jesus' name.

WISDOM KEYS FOR BUILDING CHARACTER THAT ENTHRONES by Kay Daniels

Building strong character is essential for living a life of integrity, wisdom, and lasting impact. As Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) says, 

"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." Character shapes not only how others see us but also how we walk in alignment with our divine purpose.

In Atomic Habits by James Clear, we learn that small, consistent actions lead to remarkable transformations. Character is not built overnight; it's the sum of daily habits. As Clear emphasizes, 

“You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” This parallels the wisdom of Mike Murdock's wisdom keys, reminding us that the decisions, actions, and attitudes we practice daily mold us into who we become.

By aligning these biblical principles with habits of excellence, integrity, and wisdom, we can build a character that reflects godly values, leading to a life of honor and fulfillment.

Here’s a deeper application of Mike Murdock's wisdom keys for building character, enhanced with appropriate biblical scriptures:

1. What You Respect, You Will Attract

   Scripture: "Give, and it will be given to you... For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Luke 6:38, NIV).
   Respect and honor others, and these will return to you. The principle of sowing and reaping guides how respect attracts respect.

2. Your Decisions Determine Your Destiny

   Scripture: "In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:6, NIV).
   Godly decisions shape your future. When you acknowledge God in your choices, He directs your steps toward a fruitful destiny.

3. Your Attitude Decides Your Success

   Scripture: "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure" (Philippians 2:14-15, NIV).
   A positive, Christlike attitude brings you favor and success, reflecting God’s nature in every circumstance.

4. What You Tolerate, You Will Never Change

   Scripture: "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind" (1 Peter 2:1, NIV).
   To grow in character, we must eliminate sinful behaviors and bad habits. Tolerating negative patterns prevents true change.

5. The Secret of Your Future Is Hidden in Your Daily Routine

   Scripture: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much" (Luke 16:10, NIV).
   Faithfulness in small, daily tasks leads to greater responsibility and success. It’s the routine habits that shape our character and future.

6. You Will Always Be Rewarded for Solving Problems

   Scripture: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9, NIV).
   Solving problems, especially in bringing peace and wisdom to difficult situations, reflects God’s blessing and His nature working through us.

7. Sow the Seed of Honor

   Scripture: "Honor one another above yourselves" (Romans 12:10, NIV).
   Giving honor, especially to those in authority, brings rewards and opens doors for divine favor in our lives.

8. Be Willing to Walk Alone

   Scripture: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2, NIV).
   Following God’s path often means standing firm in your convictions, even if it means walking alone in the pursuit of righteousness.

9. Your Reaction to a Problem Reveals Your Character

   Scripture: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds" (James 1:2, NIV).
   How we respond in difficult times shows the depth of our faith and character. Enduring trials with joy and wisdom reveals godliness.

10. Go the Extra Mile

    Scripture: "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles" (Matthew 5:41, NIV).
    Doing more than is expected reflects a spirit of excellence and selflessness, going beyond the bare minimum in service to others.

11. Gratitude Unlocks God's Blessings

    Scripture: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV).
    Gratitude is the key that opens the door to more blessings. When we thank God in every situation, we align ourselves with His will, making way for greater favor.

12. Praise Changes Your Perspective

    Scripture: "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name" (Psalm 100:4, NIV).
    Praise shifts our focus from problems to God’s greatness. It elevates our perspective, allowing us to see life through a lens of victory and faith.

13. Thankfulness Attracts Divine Intervention

    Scripture: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6, NIV).
    Gratitude invites God into our circumstances. When we pray with a thankful heart, we move the hand of God to act on our behalf.

14. Praise Releases Joy and Strength

    Scripture: "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10, NIV).
    Praise stirs joy in our hearts, and joy is a source of supernatural strength. When we praise God, we experience His joy, which empowers us to face challenges victoriously.

15. Gratitude Multiplies What You Have

    Scripture: "And He took the seven loaves and the fish, and when He had given thanks, He broke them and gave them to the disciples" (Matthew 15:36, NIV).
    Jesus gave thanks for the little and it multiplied. When we express gratitude for what we have, God increases and multiplies it, turning scarcity into abundance.

By applying these biblical principles to Murdock's wisdom keys, we see that character-building is deeply rooted in aligning our daily habits and decisions with God’s Word. Each key guides us in becoming more like Christ, with small, intentional steps shaping our overall character and destiny.

These keys encourage a lifestyle of intentional growth, discipline, and moral integrity. They reflect foundational principles for developing a character that is built on wisdom and strong values.

Engaging the Wonders of Praise

Key Scriptures: Exodus 15:11; Psalm 22:3; Psalm 114:3; 2 Chronicles 20:17-22; Isaiah 54:1-4; Habakkuk 3:17-19; Isaiah 38:20; Psalm 67:5-6; Jeremiah 28:47; Psalm 34:1; Philippians 4:6; Hebrews 10:36; 1 John 5:14; Matthew 6:13; John 11:41; Acts 16:25-31; Romans 4:20; Psalm 8:2; Matthew 21:9-16; Psalm 92:1-2, 10-11; 2 Samuel 6:14-23; Psalm 149:1-9

1. Praise Unleashes Divine Intervention

Praise is not just a tool but a force that provokes God’s fearful interventions. “Who is like You, O Lord… doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11). God dwells in the atmosphere of praise (Psalm 22:3), and when we engage in it, He manifests powerfully, shifting circumstances and performing wonders (Psalm 114:3).

2. Praise is a Mighty Weapon of Warfare

The Bible highlights the strategic power of praise in battles. When the people praised, God took over their fights (2 Chronicles 20:17-22). Praise is the secret to never returning defeated; it transfers our battles to God, where victory is assured.

3. Praise Unlocks Fruitfulness and Breakthroughs

Praise breaks barrenness and triggers supernatural fruitfulness (Isaiah 54:1-4). No matter the challenge, singing praises can lift you from breakdowns to breakthroughs, from valleys to mountain tops (Habakkuk 3:17-19).

4. Praise Brings Healing and Restoration

Praise is a vital key in securing divine healing and restoration. Isaiah 38:20 speaks of how the assurance of healing fuels a song of victory, and the act of praise silences every voice of defeat.

5. Praise is Key to Multiplication

A life filled with praise brings increase. As Psalm 67:5-6 reveals, a heart filled with gratitude opens the doors to multiplication. On the other hand, those who withhold praise serve lack and face oppression (Joel 1:2-9; Jeremiah 28:47).

6. Praise Realigns Us with God’s Grace

Everything we have, we give from what God has graciously given to us. Praise aligns us with His grace, reminding us that without Him, we can do nothing (Psalm 34:1). It is through this grace that our offerings and acts of service in the kingdom find true value.

7. Praise Invites God into Our Battles

When we praise, we invite God to fight for us. Praise warfare is the highest form of spiritual battle because it brings God directly into the fight (Psalm 149:1-9). When you praise, not just with words but with heart and voice, the enemy’s plans are shattered (Matthew 21:9-16; Romans 4:20).

8. Praise Ensures Answers to Prayers

Prayers sealed with thanksgiving are the ones that receive answers (Philippians 4:6; Hebrews 10:36; 1 John 5:14). Jesus demonstrated this when He gave thanks before raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11:41). Praise and thanksgiving conclude prayers with power, ensuring the delivery of answers.

9. Praise Leads to Fresh Anointing

Consistent praise opens the door to fresh oil and empowerment from God (Psalm 92:1-2, 10-11). David’s dance before the Lord led to the silencing of his enemies and the release of divine blessings (2 Samuel 6:14-23).

10. Praise Brings Judgment on the Enemy

Through praise, we execute judgment on the forces of darkness (Psalm 149:1-9). Don’t just praise quietly—praise aloud, coupling it with a dance, as this triggers divine interventions and permanently silences the enemy.

In conclusion, praise is more than a response to victory—it is a weapon to attain victory. Engage it, wield it, and watch God move on your behalf.

CCYI GLOBAL WORDSPIRATION: LASER FOCUSED PRAISE OCTOBER EDITION

Laser-Focused Praise as a Lifestyle by Kay Daniels

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get distracted by the noise, challenges, and responsibilities we face daily. But as believers, we are called to live a life of intentional praise—a life where our focus is fixed on God, no matter the circumstances. This type of praise is not just an occasional act but a consistent, laser-focused lifestyle.

The Bible reminds us that a heart of focused praise is the foundation for walking in victory and divine alignment. Consider the words of the psalmist in Psalm 34:1 (NIV):

"I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

This scripture reveals the key to laser-focused praise—it’s not dependent on what we face but rooted in who God is. When our praise is unwavering, regardless of our circumstances, it becomes a spiritual weapon that aligns our hearts with God’s purposes.

Praise Amidst Challenges

In Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV), we see an example of how laser-focused praise transforms adversity:

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."

Here, Habakkuk chooses to praise God despite the visible lack around him. His laser focus was not on the material realities but on the unchanging nature of God. This type of praise transcends feelings and focuses solely on God’s sovereignty, faithfulness, and ability to bring triumph in all situations.

The Power of Focused Praise

When we engage in focused praise, we enter into God's presence and shift our focus from the temporal to the eternal. Isaiah 26:3 (ESV) assures us, 

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You."

By keeping our mind and praise laser-focused on God, we open ourselves to His peace and guidance. In this state of continuous praise, distractions lose their power, and we can navigate life’s difficulties with grace.

A Lifestyle of Praise

Laser-focused praise as a lifestyle means waking up each day with a heart full of gratitude, irrespective of our feelings or external situations. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) commands us to "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

This is the attitude of someone who has learned to live with their spiritual eyes fixed on God—giving thanks in all things and maintaining a posture of worship, even in trials.

How to Maintain Laser-Focused Praise:

Renew Your Mind Daily: Spend time in the Word of God. It helps redirect your thoughts and keeps you grounded in truth.

Develop a Habit of Thanksgiving: In every situation, good or bad, find something to thank God for. This trains your spirit to focus on God’s goodness, not the situation.

Praise God for Who He Is, Not Just for What He Does: Focus your worship on God's nature—His faithfulness, holiness, and love. This keeps your praise constant, even when circumstances change.

Surround Yourself with Worship: Incorporate worship music and scriptures into your daily routine, allowing them to serve as reminders of God's greatness.

In conclusion, laser-focused praise is not something we do occasionally; it's a lifestyle we cultivate. When our eyes are fixed on God, our hearts will overflow with praise that transcends circumstances, releasing divine power into every area of our lives. As you make this your lifestyle, you will experience the peace, strength, and joy that come from a heart aligned with the Almighty.

THE UMBILICAL CORD OF LIFE by Kay Daniels

Salvation is the umbilical cord that connects man with God. Just as a baby in the womb depends entirely on the umbilical cord for nourishment, protection, and life, so is it for anyone who is born again—such a person moves, lives, and has their being in God. 

The umbilical cord of salvation provides everything we need spiritually, keeping us connected to the source of life, protection, and sustenance, which is God Himself.

The Bible emphasizes this connection in Acts 17:28: 

"For in him we live and move and have our being." 

Just as a baby cannot survive outside the womb without the umbilical cord, we cannot truly live without salvation. It is our spiritual lifeline, providing the grace, mercy, and favor we need to navigate life.

Through salvation, we are nourished by the Word of God, protected from the attacks of the enemy, and empowered to live a life of purpose. Colossians 2:6-7 speaks to this, saying: 

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."

Until you are saved, you cannot be safe. Outside of salvation, we are exposed to spiritual danger, vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy, and disconnected from the life-giving flow of God’s provision. Jesus Himself said in John 10:9: 

"I am the door; if anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." 

True safety, security, and sustenance come from this divine connection through salvation.

Therefore, let us hold fast to this umbilical cord of salvation, for it is our only hope of life, security, and sustenance in this world and the world to come. John 3:16 reminds us of this profound truth: 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." 

Salvation is our lifeline to God’s eternal promises.

AUTHORITY: THE ABILITY TO USE POWER by Kay Daniels

The distinction between power and authority is profound and foundational to understanding how divine principles operate in the realm of faith and spiritual leadership.

Power can be seen as the inherent ability to make things happen, to bring about change or outcomes. It is a raw force, the capacity to enact influence over circumstances, situations, or people. In the spiritual realm, this power originates from God—He is the source of all power. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 62:11, 

"God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God." 

This truth establishes that no power exists independently of God's sovereignty.

On the other hand, authority is the capacity or permission to use this power. Authority is not automatic but delegated. It provides the legal or rightful standing to wield power effectively. In essence, while power may be available, authority is what grants the right to execute it. This distinction helps us understand the divine structure God has set in place for the use of His power.

All power belongs to God and is available on earth through the name of Jesus Christ, as Philippians 2:10 emphasizes, 

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” 

However, this power is accessed through authority, which God delegates to certain men—prophets, apostles, and other spiritual leaders—whom He has chosen and anointed.

For believers, this means that the ability to activate God's power in specific situations often comes through the authority conferred upon spiritual leaders. We see this model in the Bible where individuals pray, not just in their own strength, but standing on the authority of those who have been entrusted with a divine mandate. For instance, in Acts 3:6, Peter, an apostle with God-given authority, tells the lame man, 

"Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 

Peter did not just rely on power, but exercised authority in Christ's name to manifest that power.

This dynamic of power and authority underscores why, in some cases, believers seek the intercession of prophets and spiritual leaders. These men and women, by virtue of their calling and divine commissioning, have been enabled to stand in the gap and exercise authority that others may not yet have fully accessed. James 5:16 reminds us, 

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." 

The righteous man, in this context, is often one who has been entrusted with both spiritual authority and insight, enabling them to declare victory over challenging situations.

Ultimately, we are all called to grow in our relationship with God, accessing His power and standing in our own God-given authority. However, God has set a divine order where He raises certain individuals to operate with greater authority for the sake of guiding and helping others. It is through this structure that we learn the balance between power and authority, understanding that both are necessary to experience the fullness of God's will on earth.

In conclusion, while power originates from God and is ever-present, authority is the vehicle through which this power is released into the earth. As believers, we must respect and honor the authority God has placed in certain individuals, while also growing in our own capacity to walk in divine authority through the Word, prayer, and alignment with God’s purposes. This understanding enables us to stand victorious, not only in our personal lives but also in the broader spiritual battles we face.

October Prophetic Focus: Inspired Praise as a Lifestyle for New Chapters by Kay Daniels

October Prophetic Focus: Inspired Praise as a Lifestyle for New Chapters

Genesis 8:5 - “The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.”

This encounter revealed a moment of hope after the flood, a turning point where Noah began to see signs of a new chapter. Similarly, as we step into a new season with a praiseful lifestyle, new beginnings often follow a season of waiting or challenge. Inspired praise helps us navigate through such transitions, preparing our hearts to embrace what’s next.

1. The Power of Praise in Waiting Seasons

Noah’s encounter shows that even in the midst of waiting, there is always an opportunity to worship God. For months, Noah waited in the ark, trusting that God would reveal the next step. In our lives, praise is key when we face uncertainty. It shifts our focus from what we cannot control to the One who controls all things – the almighty God.

• Psalm 34:1 - "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

2. Praise Ushers in New Revelations

Genesis 8:5 marks the moment when the floodwaters began to recede, and Noah could see the mountaintops—a sign of new land and new possibilities. Praise allows us to see beyond our current situation to what God is preparing. As we worship, God gives us glimpses of what is to come, filling us with hope and vision.

• Isaiah 43:19 - "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"

3. Praise as a Weapon for Breakthrough

Praise is not just an expression of gratitude but a powerful weapon that breaks chains and opens doors for new opportunities. Like Paul and Silas in prison, their praise caused a divine breakthrough (Acts 16:25-26). In the same way, our consistent praise can open the way for the next chapter God has in store for us.

• Psalm 22:3 - "But You are holy, O You that inhabit the praises of Israel."

4. Living a Lifestyle of Praise for Continuous Elevation

When praise becomes a lifestyle, it positions us for continuous growth and elevation. Just as the waters receded gradually, leading Noah to dry land, our journey into new chapters is often gradual, requiring sustained worship. Praise ensures that our hearts remain open and receptive to God’s leading.

• Hebrews 13:15 - "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess His name."

As we step into new chapters in life, may we embrace praise as a lifestyle, inspired by God’s goodness and faithfulness. Just as Noah saw the mountaintops after the flood, praise will help us see the signs of new beginnings, fueling us with faith for what lies ahead.

Welcome to October, a month of

WHY SHOULD WE THANK GOD FOR NIGERIA? by Kay Daniels

WHY SHOULD WE THANK GOD FOR NIGERIA?

I say to you that it is a sin to refuse to thank God for Nigeria. Gratitude is not optional; it is commanded by God, even in difficult times. As Nigeria marks 64 years of independence, it is vital to reflect on the importance of thanking God for His hand in this nation.

According to Habakkuk 3:17-19

“Though the fig tree does not blossom, and there is no fruit on the vines; though the yield of the olive fails, and the fields produce no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 

The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, enabling me to tread on the heights.”

Even when circumstances seem bleak and Nigeria faces various challenges, we are reminded by this scripture to rejoice in the Lord. Our praise and gratitude are not dependent on what we see, but on who God is. Despite the trials, God remains our strength, and we must thank Him for the future He is preparing for Nigeria.

And according to the warnings of Malachi 2:2

“If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart to give glory to My name, says the Lord of hosts, I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.”

This verse is a sobering reminder of the consequences of ingratitude. When we fail to give glory to God, we risk forfeiting the blessings He has bestowed upon us. 

As Nigerians, it is our responsibility to take to heart the need to praise and thank God for His mercies and blessings on this nation. To refuse to thank God is to invite more hardship.

The Significance of October 1, 2024

On October 1, 2024 (01102024), which adds up to 10, Nigeria will celebrate 64 years, which also adds up to 10. The number 10 signifies perfection and divine order in biblical terms. There is perfection coming upon this nation, and we must align our hearts in thanksgiving to welcome this new season of divine breakthrough and fulfillment.

We need to really thank God for the following: 

1. Thanksgiving for God's Mercy and Preservation

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end” (Lamentations 3:22).

Prayer: Lord, we thank You for Your unwavering mercy that has preserved Nigeria through every trial and tribulation. Your love has sustained us, and we are grateful.

2. Prayer for National Peace and Unity

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

Prayer: Father, we ask for peace in Nigeria. Let Your Spirit of unity reign across every tribe and tongue, knitting us together as one nation under God.

3. Prayer for Wisdom for Leaders

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5).

Prayer: Lord, grant our leaders the wisdom to govern with integrity, righteousness, and the fear of God. Guide their decisions and align their hearts with Your will.

4. Prayer for Economic Restoration

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory” (Philippians 4:19).

Prayer: We ask for divine intervention in Nigeria’s economy. Lord, bring restoration and prosperity to every sector, supplying the needs of Your people.

5. Prayer for Revival and Spiritual Awakening

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face…” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Prayer: Lord, revive the hearts of Nigerians. Let there be a fresh wave of spiritual awakening across the land, drawing hearts back to You in fervent worship.

6. Prayer for Divine Protection

“The Lord is my refuge and fortress, my God, in whom I trust” (Psalm 91:2).

Prayer: We declare Your protection over every state in Nigeria. Shield us from violence, terrorism, and all forms of evil. Be our refuge, O God.

7. Prayer for Youth Empowerment and Education

“Train up a child in the way he should go” (Proverbs 22:6).

Prayer: Lord, we commit the youth of Nigeria into Your hands. Grant them opportunities for education and empowerment, raising a generation that will lead with purpose.

8. Prayer for Justice and Equity

“Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream” (Amos 5:24).

Prayer: Father, let justice reign in Nigeria. Uproot corruption and establish fairness and equity in all systems of governance.

9. Prayer for Healing and Reconciliation

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3).

Prayer: Lord, heal the divisions and wounds that have plagued our nation. Let there be reconciliation across ethnic, religious, and political lines.

10. Prayer for a Glorious Future

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

• Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for the glorious future You have planned for Nigeria. We declare that Your plans for this nation will come to fruition, and Nigeria will fulfill her destiny.

The truth is, if we have lost anything as a nation, God is the reason we have not yet lost everything, so He deserves all the thanks. 

As Nigeria celebrates her 64th independence, let us not forget to thank God for His hand upon this nation. Perfection is coming, and as we remain steadfast in prayer and thanksgiving, we position ourselves to witness God's perfect plan unfold in Nigeria. God bless Nigeria!

A SERVANT OF GOD FLYING BY GRACE (BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO) IS 70 TODAY

A Reflection of God's Faithfulness Through His Servant (Bishop David Oyedepo). 

We soar on the wings of gratitude, lifted high by praise and raised up in glory. It is divine wisdom to sing our own song of thanksgiving, and we are personally grateful to our Father in heaven for His unfailing love, grace, and mercy. In the seen and unseen, in battles we knew of and those fought without our knowledge, God has always been our champion. He does the work, fights our battles, and ensures victory at every turn.

To be ungrateful is to walk in ignorance, for God owes us nothing, yet we owe Him everything. Even in moments when we think we have lost, it is God who ensures that we haven’t lost it all. The depth of His mercy and grace is beyond measure, and He deserves all our praise.

Today, September 27, 2024, marks a monumental celebration. God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo, turns 70 today, and heaven itself rejoices. As the day opened, showers of rain descended from above, a divine sign of God’s favor, washing away the schemes of the enemy and nourishing the trees of righteousness. This is not just another day; it is a day of renewal, of new beginnings, of fresh anointing.

Through Bishop Oyedepo, God has accomplished tremendous works in our lives. He has been an instrument of God’s grace, leading us on paths of wisdom, prosperity, and divine purpose. His teachings, rooted in unwavering faith and obedience, have guided multitudes to discover their God-given destinies. In the storms of life, his words have been like anchors, rooted in Scripture, reminding us that with God, no battle is too great and no challenge is insurmountable.

He has led with courage, always lifting the banner of Christ high and calling us to higher levels of faith and excellence. By God's hand upon him, millions have found hope, families have been restored, and nations have been transformed.

On this day, as we reflect on the life and ministry of Bishop Oyedepo, we are reminded of the power of faith, dedication, and the pursuit of divine purpose. God has truly used him as a beacon of light to illuminate our paths, showing us the way to victory and eternal joy.

So, we raise our voices in praise and thanksgiving, for all God has done through him. For the countless lives touched, for the battles won, for the victories sealed in heaven and manifested on earth, we give glory to God. The heavens celebrate today, and so do we.

Hurray! God’s servant is 70, and the best is yet to come!

This reflection honors both God and His servant, Bishop David Oyedepo, by highlighting the divine impact of his ministry on individual lives and the larger body of Christ. It is a powerful testimony of God's grace, victory, and the transformational leadership of Bishop Oyedepo.
