It is the finale 💃!!!

Operation PUSH.         Day 28   (Last day). Congratulations! We would like to encourage you, you have been praying for 28 days in a roll. We'll done! On this final day, Trigger your thought...  In view of God's presence, peace, and power, how should we respond to attacks on our security and sense of stability especially on the body of Christ? 1) Stillness and Surrender In the midst of siege, the Lord through the psalmist wrote, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). When we are overwhelmed, unsure, and panicking, God's Word tells us to pause, shift our focus from our circumstances and ourselves, remember who He is, and trust Him with our lives. Jesus modeled this for us when He was taken prisoner in the garden of Gethsemane. While His disciples struck out at others and fled in fear, Jesus stood firm, remained calm, and surrendered Himself to God's plan (see John 18:4-11). 2) Repentance and Prayer I heard a historian say that no American president h

Trust the Future to God's Power

Operation PUSH         Day 27 Psalms 46:8‭-‬11 "Come, behold the works of the Lord , Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.  He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.  “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”  The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]".  The future is in view in these verses: a time when wars will erupt and a period known as the great tribulation will overtake the earth. Jesus told His disciples, "And there will be signs…and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken" (Luke 21:25-26).  Ultimately, all will culminate

Praise, Worship and Righteousness

Operation PUSH...         Day 24: When you give with a spirit of thanksgiving and praise it will surely lead you to give generously. Giving generously vs sparingly is not indicated by the amount. It is the portion of what you have. Your giving is a ministry to those you give to, pointing people toward God! How great is it to bring about prayers and praise among the lips of others! Coupled with FAITH: God will blow your mind! Bless you more than you can ever request or plan to possess. It's great to hear it and know this. But do you believe? How great is your faith? How strong is your connection to God? I ask you this. Because the closer you are to God, the more you know Him. And the more you know of His character and will-- the greater your expectation of such a great God! Then, He exceeds it. What great news! Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, accor

A Supernatural God of Supernatural People

Operation PUSH :   Day 21 We seem to be trapped in a religious haze nowadays. Much of the church holds God as an idea that they fit somewhere into their busy lives. He is a concept, an idea, or a theology/religion, but not an actual person from another realm who has become their fascination and the central theme of their whole lives. The reality is this: God is a supernatural God! When we were born again, we became supernatural people called to manifest the kingdom of God. I have decided to be radical, not a half-volume, half-hearted kind of born again. I go in strong, and I go in full force. It is with this personality that I am sharing the Gospel with you. I am radically set ablaze by the power of God. My life has taken a bold turn toward the call of God, and I find myself leaving everything that was familiar to step out into the unknown. You can be effectively led by Holy Spirit too. You can know and discern the will of God for your life. You can operate in tremendous miracles and a

The Joy of the Lord

Operation PUSH :     Day 20 " Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength". (Nehemiah 8:10) Contrary to popular opinion, happiness is not the same as joy. I have often heard people say, “I just want to be happy!” The truth is that happiness is relative and circumstantial, whereas joy is something much deeper. In the above verse, the Word of God declares, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Paul admonishes the church in the book of Philippians, “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice…And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:4, 7). In other words, rejoicing is a decision based on trusting that God will provide, as He always does. We have joy, not because of the circumstances around us, but because of God’s faithfulness. Y

No more Fear

Operation PUSH :   Day 19 " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". (2 Timothy 1:7) I remember being tormented by fear in the past: fear of loosing my home to strange women, fera of not being able to feed my kids, fear of disappointment, fear of losing a job or a business... the kingdom of darkness was very real. I discovered that one of Satan’s greatest weapons is fear. Why? Because he knows that you and I will not take authority over something we fear. What is fear? Simply put, fear is timidity or cowardice resulting from a wrong belief system. I also like to define fear as false evidence appearing true! We are told in 2 Timothy that God has not given us a spirit of fear. Wow! This tells us that fear is in fact a spirit, and this spirit does not come from God. God doesn’t want us to succumb to the lies of the evil one in the form of fear and ignorance. Fear comes in many forms. Many people are afraid of failure, others

The blood of the lamb

Buenas Días a todos,  Welcome to Day 18 of Operation PUSH!  "For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you". (1 Peter 1:18–20) One of the most significant holy days in the Old Testament was Yom Kippur (Jewish name). I first heard this name from a TV series I watched recently: that actually inspired me to do this research) or the Day of Atonement. During this sacred time, the High Priest would take a scapegoat and lay his hands on it, symbolically transferring the sins of the entire nation of Israel onto the animal. Then the High Priest would banish the goat into the wilderness, representing the putting away of Israel’s sin before God. After that, a spotless lamb would b

Mind Renewal

Buenas Días a todos,  Welcome to Operation PUSH,   Day 17.  "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:1–2). The first bit of the first line of this verse reminds me of a day back in my boarding High school. When it's lights out, we are supposed to sleep, that means no conversation between friends. On this night, some seniors have decided to just have the loudest of conversation ever. So our house prefect then, decided to come out and caution these seniors, she started her caution with, "I beseech you with the mercies of God..." Well the rest of the conversation didn't go too well. Lol Our mind is one of the most important components of our Christian experienc

Hearing the Holy Spirit

Buenas Días a todos,  Welcome to Day 16 of operation PUSH! As the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. (Hebrews 3:7–10) Just some few days ago, I met the most important person on earth. Our encounter has changed my life forever. This person was unlike anybody I had ever met before. Words cannot describe the way I felt and the exhilarating rush that went through my entire being when I was in this person’s presence; this person was gentle, kind, patient, and infinitely wise. You are probably thinking that I am talking about my husband, but you would be wrong. I am speaking of none other than the Holy Spirit. He is the most important Person on earth. Unfortunately, He is also one of the most ne

Open your eyes 👀.

Bonjour dear warriors,  Welcome to OPERATION PUSH,   DAY 15.  "And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight." One of my childrens favorite games is hide-and-go-seek. I’m sure you all played it too—or at least some variation of it sometime ago. The game involves closing your eyes and counting to a certain number while your friends run and hide. Once you finish counting, you are supposed to shout, “Ready or not, here I come!” and start looking. If your friends are really, really good, they can hide from you in plain sight! But when they crawl out from under the couch or slip out of a closet to dash toward base, your eyes are opened—and you know exactly where they are.  Well, that’s a little like what the disciples experienced when Jesus opened their eyes to see Him for who He really was according to Luke 24. Prior to this experience,

Prayer for a Ferocious Lifestyle

Dear Prayer warriors, Welcome to Operation PUSH, Day 14.   We would like to thank you all for your genuine concern for us whenever we go silent. Your questions and messages tell us we mean more than just some random writers to you. We really appreciate your check up and follow up on us. Whenever this blog or couple for Christ (CFC) goes silent, its in fact a moment of reflection, repetition and empowerment. I encourage all our readers, prayer partners and faithful followers to not only wait on us to post but to revisit what has been posted in previous times and reflect on them. As teachers, we know repetition is not a bad idea at all when the aim is for imprinting for long term. Disclaimer alert: We do not repeat our posts. We rather encourage you revisiting old posts. Today we are continuing in prayer...  Psalms 51:9‭-‬14 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me

Think like a warrior

Dear Prayer warriors, Welcome to Day 13 of Operation PUSH.  We need a radical change of mind set. May God help us all. Feel free to modify to suit you...  Father God, I pray You help me to change my mind if my thoughts are not aligned with Your will and Your way for my life. I pray that You strengthen me to be greater than I was the day before. Lord, help me to apply my mind to things that will benefit me. Help me to surrender and sacrifice every thought that makes me feel unworthy of the purpose You have for my life. God, help me with my observation of others and my observation of myself. I come against any seeds of thoughts that have been planted in my life by the enemy. I submit my thoughts to You. I give You full authority over my mind. I ask, God, that You teach me to know when it is time to strengthen my spirit and when it is time to rest in knowing that You have it all under control. I pray, God, that You show me how to be open but also teach me how to guard my heart. Help me no

Prayer to Ignite Deliverance, Discipline, Dedication, and Drive

Dear readers, Welcome to Day 11 of Operation PUSH.  Continue to pray with me... Feel free to recite or even modify these phrases to suit your comfortability: but the most important is we are praying to be dilivered in Jesus name. Let's pray... Father God, help me to seek You for deliverance. Don’t let pride keep me from getting free from everything that holds me back from the life You called and created me to live. Let me develop the discipline to maintain that deliverance, and give me dedication and drive to become ferocious in prayer and in life. Lord, remove all pride, anger, bitterness, depression, and anything else that keeps me stagnant. Reveal methods and strategies that will help me grow stronger and more ferocious in my faith. I will trust in You, Lord, and as I delight myself in You. You will give me the desires of my heart. I submit my way to You, and You bring forth my righteousness. Lord, help me to hope in You when I face fierce battles in life and things don’t seem t

Prayer for Victory in Your Circumstances

Buenas Días,  Welcome to Operation PUSH, Day 10. We are Victor's in everything we do. Today we are praying for success and victory.  God, He holds all power and victory in His hand. He has been the fighter of our battles. Let's continue to pray for Victory in our circumstances. Recite this prayer with me.  For the past three days, I have been sharing personal prayers that I have jotted down. Hope it helps you too. God, I confess that I have been inattentive to Your voice and have pursued my own will instead of Your will for my life. God, I confess that I have hurt people in my own hurt. I thank You for forgiving me and for making my crooked paths straight. God, I thank You that Your blood covers a multitude of my sins. I pray, God, that You work things out according to the will You have already spoken. I give You custody of my life. God, I know that You are my peace, so I ask that You bring me peace. I pray that You increase my faith that I may be protected from the attacks of

Prayer for Hurting Hearts

Dear Readers,  Welcome to Day 9 of Operation PUSH.  Today, we are praying for all hurting Hearts Once again, recite the following words as you wish or will...  Lord God, I thank You for being my Healer. I ask that You heal my heart. I confess, God, that I have not always loved You or Your people the way I should. I confess that I have been selfish. I confess that sometimes I have played the victim when You have called me victorious. So I thank You for not keeping a record of my wrongs and for forgiving me and cleaning me up when I make mistakes. I pray, God, that You wash me clean of every hurt and pain that has caused me to rest in depression. I ask, O God, that You strengthen me. I ask, O God, that You would stir up the gifts inside me that I may be successful in the spaces You have appointed me to be successful in. I ask You to bring meaning to every mess in my life and reveal Your glory in me. God, place a hedge of protection around me. Thank You, God, for being my way maker and my

Prayer for Ferocious Faith

Bonjour Warriors, Welcome to Operation PUSH.... Day 8.  Let's us pray... Read this as you will...  Father God, I confess that I have had doubt and unbelief in my heart. I confess that I have been comfortable in sin when I should have been thirsting for You. I pray, O God, that You would help me to consider what I say to others and what I allow others to say to me. I ask You to keep Your voice clear in my head and to keep me focused on the things making me fruitful and not filthy. God, I ask that You increase and elevate my prayer life that I may walk boldly in who You have called me to be. I ask that You help me to see myself through Your eyes and to want You as much as You want me. God, I ask that You teach me Your ways and let me not depart from them. I will not lose because I know You are with me. Train and guide me, God. Strip me of all unrighteous motives and lead me where Your grace is for my life. I decree and declare that You died on the cross that I may be made new in You.
