SUBJECT: DECLARING 7
DAYS OF FEAST OF TESTIMONIES
DATE: January
28, 2012
Glory greetings in the name of Jesus
Christ and congratulations on the impactful completion of the 21 days of prayer
and fasting as we conclude today. GLORY!!!
It is
established from scriptures that testimonies are largely provoked by intensive
thanksgiving. Jesus validated this truth in scriptures.
First, the
miracle of baskets of bread and fishes was provoked by thanksgiving where from
the two loaves and five fishes, five thousand men minus women and children were
fed to the full with twelve baskets of fragment left over (Jn 6:6-11)
Another
striking testimony was the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus gave thanks
and Lazarus came forth (Jn 11:40-44)
Remember, according to
scriptures, death is the last enemy that shall be destroyed (1Cor
15:26). Therefore, if thanksgiving could disarm death and release
Lazarus, then thanksgiving must be the spiritual weapon for ultimate
testimonies.
Having believed,
prayed and fasted, these 21 days, it is spiritual wisdom to engage the weapon
of ultimate testimonies which is THANKSGIVING.
This is why
the Holy Ghost has instructed that we embark on 7 DAYS OF FEAST OF TESTIMONIES
from Monday 30th January to Sunday
5th February 2012.
Furthermore,
thanksgiving is defined in scriptures as the fruit of our lips (Heb
13:15) and the fruit of our lips is what determines the result we
experience.
It is
also written;
“A man
shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a
man's hands shall be rendered unto him”. - Pro 12:14
Therefore, as we engage in faith-filled thanksgiving
which is also a spiritual sickle for the harvest to answers to our prayers; I
see God delivering to us strange order of testimonies from our spiritual
investment of the 21 days of prayer and fasting. (Joel 3:13/ Phil 4:6)
Individuals
and families are therefore admonished to engage in extensive thanksgiving in
the 7 days ahead of us. We have had amazing testimonies though the engagement
of weapon of thanksgiving from several individuals across our church network
worldwide.
This is why
everybody is encouraged to engage both day and night of intense thanksgiving
sessions. Remember also that he that giveth thanks in the Spirit giveth it well
1Cor
14:17
As the Lord
lives, every Winner shall be riding the Waves of Glory with humbling
testimonies that shall be far above all the testimonies we have had in the last
21 days of prayer and fasting.
Jesus is Lord!
