May the Lord turn away your captivity and bless you

I. Son of man, this month, as the LORD turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends who had mocked him during his affliction and also gave Job twice as much as he had before, may the same LORD lift up his countenance upon you from now on; turn away your captivity and bless you beyond measure. Remember Job was a perfect man, upright, feared God, and eschewed evil, but still God allowed him to go through severe afflictions, but he endured all. Sometimes, the afflictions we go through are to the glory of God. Sometimes it's not because of an evil deed you might have committed or not committed, but God wants to honour His name through you. Let us learn to endure afflictions as good soldiers of the Lord. At the end, the LORD blessed the later end of Job more than his beginning. May the LORD extend to you the double portion of the blessings of Job after he has endured hardness.

II. BELOVED FRIEND in the Lord, it is difficult to go through afflictions. It's more confusing to encounter unexplained circumstances when you are doing the work of God. Sometimes, man, we get unsettled in the spirit and physically when all things seem to be working against you. Job encounters should strengthen us when we get to this stage in life. We must be careful what we say when we are going through afflictions, disappointment and difficulties. Beloved, this month may the LORD hear your voice in the morning. This month learn to direct your prayers at all times unto the LORD, and look up, for the LORD will give ear to your words and consider your meditation. The Lord will lead you in His righteousness and make His way straight before you. My beloved, we have divine HERITAGE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. He will not forsake us; he will fulfil his words towards us.

III. My Beloved Sisters and Dear Brothers, as we move through this month, be encouraged that the LORD shall uplift you. The LORD will meet you at the point of your needs. The LORD will strengthen you, and the LORD will empower you for the journey ahead. Yes, the journey will sometimes become difficult and weary, but we must not give up, for God has not given up on us. Sometimes we may not understand what life is throwing at us, but we have to trust the Lord that, in the end, it shall be well with us. Sometimes we don’t need to understand what is happening to us; we must simply trust in the Lord. It is a fruitless venture and vexation of the spirit when we try to analyse spiritual things with human philosophies. Beloved, let us rest in the Lord, for He alone can deliver us from the storms. It is the Lord alone who can and will supply our needs.

IV. Daughter of Zion, when you are confronted with a demonic-possessed person, don't attack the personality, for he or she just momentarily lost focus and rented that house to the evil one who took possession of that body to use. Remember that even Peter at one point almost rented his house to Satan to use as a weapon of obstruction against Jesus Christ. It is NEEDFUL for us to be alert, for what comes out of our mouths portrays who occupies our hearts. What we say and do at each moment emanates from the spirit within. Jesus Christ turned and said unto Peter, GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: thou art an offence unto me, for thou savourest not the things that are of God but those that are of men. When Satan occupies your heart, your actions lead to destruction. Guard the door of your heart. This is a DIVINE WORD of encouragement for sober reflection sent forth through the Authority of Christ Jesus and served to the brethren through God's Vessel Francis Ameyibor. Yes! Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME.

V. 2025 MY YEAR FOR MY STAR TO RISE FOR THE WORLD TO NOTICE— We shall run through the troop this month with the WORD OF GOD piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow of their troop.

PRAYER: God, as men depend on their earthly defensive forces, we will depend on your word, through which the thoughts and intents of the hearts of the forces against us will be revealed through Christ Jesus' name. I pray, AMEN.
