Today, Thursday, 16th of January 2025, is the 9th day of our 2025 Twelve Days Annual Covenant Fasting & Prayers (A day for a month) with the general theme:

Breaking Forth to All Good Things
Genesis 28:28-29 & Isaiah 58:8-9

Silent destinies and situations must speak forth this year in Jesus' name.

Today's Topic: Glory & Destiny Awakening

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 60:1-3

1. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.
3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Message

Every man has glory and destiny. There is no one created without glory or destiny.

The problem arises when, as the Bible says, "While men slept, the enemy came to sow evil seeds such as perpetual failure, stagnation, hatred, lack of helpers, retrogression, and backwardness into man’s life" (Matthew 13:25).

This means when man is careless, leaves the camp of God, or neglects spiritual matters, they become vulnerable.

The Bible also tells us that punishment only follows sin, unless God decides to test someone for their growth and elevation.

Often, spiritual sleep happens when we think we have attained all we need from God, becoming spiritually careless by neglecting prayer, abandoning church attendance, and withholding commitments in God's house. This is when the devil sees an opportunity to strike, sowing seeds of destruction. Without divine intervention, these seeds can destroy existing miracles and block future blessings.

For example, 1 Kings 11:6-14 reveals how King Solomon, despite his early devotion, sinned against God by serving idols and marrying foreign women who turned his heart away from God. His spiritual carelessness caused God to become angry, ultimately leading to the division of his kingdom.

Another common way glory and destiny are tampered with, caged, or rendered useless is through the activities of evil forces. The Bible sheds light on this in Ephesians 6:11-18:

• Put on the whole armor of God to stand against the wiles of the devil.
• We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places.
• To withstand these, we must wear the breastplate of righteousness, take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Sometimes, even those close to us—parents, siblings, spouses—can ignorantly or intentionally act as enemies of our glory and destiny.

Solution: Be spiritually sensitive, holy, and prayerful!

Today’s challenges in many homes—including cases where parents harm children or vice versa, physically or spiritually—are results of spiritual carelessness.
