Wow, It is another saturday, a weekend of relaxation and rest for many that might have had busy schedules and timelines all through the week. What also makes this season exceptional is the fact that it heralds Valentine Day - The season to express love and affection
PRAYER (Psalm 18:32-37)
1. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, gird me with your strength, and make my ways perfect.
2. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, make my feet like hinds feet and set me upon my high places. Cause me to step up to greatness.
3. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, teach my hands to make possible highly productive ventures.
4. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, enlarge the steps under me, that my feet do not slip.
5. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, empower me to pursue mine enemies to the point of overtaking them until they have all been consumed.
FAITH DECLARATION
One thing about God that many have not really come to terms with is that GOD DOES NOT JUST DO WHAT HE SAYS, MUCH MORE HE SAYS WHAT HE HAS ALREADY DONE. IF YOU HEARD IT FROM GOD'S MOUTH (VIA HIS WORD, HIS SPIRIT OR ORDAINED SERVANT) THEN HE HAS ALREADY DONE IT.
When we declare anything by faith, it is declaring what has already finished. God puts into the mouth of the believer the things He has already finished in the heavens. When God placed a coat of skin on Adam and Eve, the process of salvation was already concluded. Jesus, the lamb of God had already been slained before the foundation of the world. "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:8
Your salvation was concluded before you even committed your first sin. This sounds like a liscence for condoning sin, but far from it, it is rather the power that disharms sin and its effect. If this truth is in you, then you have been predestined for glory.
When God finishes a thing in Heaven he empowers the mouth of men on earth to declare it. If you are born of the Spirit, you cannot make declarations outside the influence of the Spirit. God's word is the conveyor belt of the Spirit that empowers us to know what has been finished in heaven. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16
This Spirit of the Lord, that inspired our spirit man is what installs in man's soul the "mind of Christ". This mind of Christ can decode what the Spirit of the Lord is communicating to our spirit man. When it registers in the heart, it finds its way to our mouth in prayer. When it is released in prayer, it gets established on the earth.
If it enters your heart to the point that you are able to declare it, it is because God has finished it in heaven. May you find that thing that God has finished on your behalf and receive boldness to make declarations in Jesus name.
"When God says to you, "you are free", it is because your freedom as been concluded. All you need is your spirit man been able to receive it from the Spirit of the Lord and communicate same to your soul. God wont do tomorrow what he says to you today, the truth is that, he already did it yesterday....God finishes and steps back to declare it....that you heard it, means it had been concluded. This is why you need to connect with the Spirit of faith!" I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Isaiah 48:3
Lord whatever you have finished concerning my family, Business, Ministry, career, nation, let it be revealed to me today, and empower my mouth to make appropriate declarations in the name of Jesus Christ for unstoppable delievery. Thank you Jesus!

SCRIPTURE READING FOR TODAY
Acts 12
King James Version
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
