MEMORISE:
“Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.” - (Psalm 147:1)

READ: 2 SAMUEL 6:14-16 (KJV)

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

MESSAGE:

In today's Bible reading, David praised God with all his might and danced with total abandon. This is a classic example of overflowing praise; no wonder God blessed Him beyond measure. When we overflow with praise towards God, He gives us blessings that are beyond measure. When you praise God, you please Him, and when you please Him, He makes even your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7). No wonder David never lost a battle; his overflowing praise always made God silence all his enemies before him. When you go out of your way to praise God, He goes out of His way to shower you with abundant blessings.

To really give overflowing praise to God, you cannot set limits to your praise; you have to praise Him without ceasing. This means that you keep praising Him everywhere you go and while going about your daily activities. This also means that your major preoccupation throughout all your days should be to give Him praise continually. This is why every time people see me, they notice that my mouth is always moving - I am always singing choruses to praise my God. I remember one time I travelled outside Nigeria; I went to a bookstore to buy some books. While picking the books, I was singing praises to God. A white man came into the bookstore, saw me, and made a joke about my singing. We laughed, shook hands, and as he was about to leave, he said, "Wait a minute, it is gone!" Apparently, he had been suffering from a backache for years. The moment I shook his hands in that mood of worship, the backache disappeared. If you want to experience constant miracles everywhere you go, even when you are not expecting it, then you should be giving God overflowing praise.

Those who give God overflowing praise do not wait for Him to do anything for them before they praise Him. They praise Him in season and out of season. Just the fact that they get up from their beds in the morning is enough reason to give Him praise. In return, God ensures that He meets their needs even before they ask so that they can put more time and focus into praising Him. Before any trouble comes, He settles it so that the flow of praise does not stop.

Beloved, make it a habit to praise God everywhere you go, and He will beautify your life with His abundant blessings.

KEY POINT:
To give God overflowing praise, you must praise Him everywhere you go and at all times.

HYMNAL: 18 - PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF CREATION

1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!

2 Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
uplifteth, sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3 Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.

4 Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
His mercy doth send thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.

5 Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that
is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

TOPIC: OVERFLOWING WEALTH

MEMORISE:
“Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” - (Psalm 112:3)

READ: ZECHARIAH 1:14-17 (KJV)

14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

MESSAGE:
God doesn't just want you to be rich; He wants you to overflow with wealth. In (2 Chronicles 1:6-15), the Bible records that Solomon had so much wealth that he made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem. Even though he only asked God for wisdom to rule Israel, God gave him great riches in addition to the wisdom.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. - (Psalm 35:27)

God truly derives pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. He can decide to make you overflow with wealth, but He will not do it for someone who is selfish. When He gave Solomon overflowing wealth, it was because Solomon did not ask for something for himself; rather, he asked for something for God's people. God will not give you overflowing wealth if you're not committed to His people and His work on the earth. If all you want to do with wealth is to spend it on yourself and your family alone or show off before people, God will not give you access to overflowing wealth.

When God knows that He can trust you to use the resources He gives you to advance His kingdom on earth, He will bless you with abundance. He blessed Abraham with overflowing wealth and made him great because He could trust him and because He knew he would be a blessing to the whole world (Genesis 18:17-19). Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

I travelled to Gibraltar at one time, and I was having a nice time looking at tourist attractions like the Rock of Gibraltar and so on. Suddenly, I saw something that affected my happiness - there was a mosque built there with millions of pounds sterling. When I asked, I was told that only a few people use the mosque, and only one person funded the construction of the building! I turned to God and asked, "Lord, what is this?" The answer I got from Him was, "You people are too slow! Particularly you Nigerians. Some of you are even afraid to prosper. When you pray, 'O God, prosper me,' all you are asking for is one million naira. You don't have a vision to take the whole world for Jesus Christ."

Beloved, when your heart is ablaze with a burning passion to advance God's kingdom, He will not hesitate to give you overflowing wealth.

REFLECTION:
Are you passionate about advancing God's kingdom? Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

HYMNAL: 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1 There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2 There shall be showers of blessing—
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3 There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.

4 There shall be showers of blessing;
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

5 There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

TOPIC: OVERFLOWING HEALTH

MEMORISE:
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” - (3 John 2)

READ: ACTS 5:14-16 (KJV)

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

MESSAGE:
God's will is not just for us to be healthy but to overflow with health. You can be so healthy that when sick people touch you, they will become healed. The Lord Jesus was overflowing with health, which is why the woman with the issue of blood simply touched the hem of His garment and was healed (Matthew 9:20-22).

Years ago, a teenager who had sickle cell anaemia and had been sick all his life stood up to give a testimony in church. He said, "I heard that Daddy G.O. is coming to this church next Sunday. I want to testify that I will be healed next Sunday." Somebody called me to tell me the teenager's testimony, and I started praying that God would allow me to meet him. As God would have it, the young man was standing outside as I got to the church and came out of my car. He didn't look like a teenager at all; he looked so tiny. He came to me and said, "Daddy, I've been sick all my life, but I am confident that since you have come to this church today, I will be healed today." I hugged him and said, "It will be unto you according to your faith." I got his letter some months later, and he wrote, "Dear Daddy, I want to thank God, and I want to thank you. I have been healed since the day you came to our church."

Beloved, Jesus didn't just die for you to be healthy; He wants your health to overflow such that any sick person you lay hands on will become healed and healthy. He said in Mark 16:17-18:

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

In (1 Peter 2:24), the Bible says that Jesus paid for your health; this is why you must hate sicknesses and diseases passionately. Just as Peter's shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15) and handkerchiefs taken from Paul's body drove out diseases from people (Acts 19:12), God wants you to overflow with health and become a channel of healing and health to others. I pray that you will live in constant health all the days of your life and that the healing anointing will flow through you to others, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please fill me with overflowing health so that I will never be sick again, and the sick will be healed through me, in Jesus' name.

HYMNAL: 7 - I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3 O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

Focus: *Healing Wonders in the Faith*

Ministering: *Bishop David Oyedepo*

According to the Scriptures, pestilence and plagues are part of the agenda of the devil for the end-time, but God has made an exemption plan for you.
- Matt. 24:6-7

Healing, health and wholeness is your right as a child of God.
- Isa. 49:15, 24-25, Gal. 3:29

Healing is received according to your faith.

God's touch won't do anything in your life except your faith is alive.

Faith is a non-negotiable requirement for receiving healing.

Faith is the answer to every gruesome attack of hell.

God is not only interested in your financial prosperity; He wants your body to be sound.
- 3 John. 1:2

Jesus Christ means Jesus, the Anointed One; He has the capacity to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases.

When you invoke the name, His anointing goes forth to deliver. - SoS. 1:3

*You must have faith in the following

1. God as your Jehovah Rapha - Ex. 15:26

2. Your healing inheritance. - Isa. 53:4-5, 1 Cor. 6:20

3. Healing as the will of God for you. - Matt. 8:1-3

4. Healing as a reward for serving God and the interest of His Kingdom. - Ex. 23:25-26, John 15:1-2

*What is Faith?*

Faith is a living force drawn from the living Word to produce living proofs.

Faith is the only way to tap into the healing virtue of Christ.

It's not just prayer that heals but the prayer of faith.

It is not quoting scriptures that heals, but faith in the potent scriptures.
- Heb. 4:2

To receive your healing, first build your faith in the finished works of Christ, then build your confidence in your healing right in redemption.

The verdict of the scriptures is superior to any medical expert’s verdict.

There are reports and there are reports; no report is superior to God’s reports.

Faith in the heart requires the tongue to deliver.
- Mark 11:20

While your faith is domiciled in the heart, you need the tongue for your faith to deliver.

Don't claim to trust God when you are simply tempting Him.

Every sickness is a mockery, and it is entitled to a curse!

Curse whatever is mocking your destiny, and it shall be cursed by heaven.

High blood sugar is not normal; curse it!

Pains in your body are not normal; curse them!

High blood pressure is not normal; curse it!

Migraines are not normal; curse them!

Sicknesses and diseases in your body are not normal; curse them!

*Showers of Blessings Ministration*

God’s showers of blessings usually follows the believer’s obedience.
- Deut. 28:1-2, Exo. 23:25-26

Unreserved obedience to the full is what keeps God’s blessings over your life.
- Ps. 92:13-14

As long as you remain planted in God’s house, the showers will never cease.

Beware of the error of Solomon!

Beware of the error of King Uzziah, pride destroyed him!
- 2 Chr. 28:21

- Faith from the proclaimer of the blessing

- Faith on the part of the receiver.

Is the 7 Mountain of Influence Biblical ?

The concept of the "7 Mountains of Influence" refers to seven key societal spheres that are believed to shape culture and where Christians should aim to exert influence. These mountains are: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts/Entertainment, and Business. The idea is to strategically engage with these areas to bring about societal transformation according to Christian values.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Religion: This includes all forms of religious expression and institutions.
Family: The foundational social unit and its influence on individuals and society.
Education: The system responsible for shaping the minds of future generations.
Government: The structures and processes of political power and governance.
Media: Platforms for communication and information dissemination.
Arts/Entertainment: Cultural expressions that shape values and perspectives.
Business: The economic engine of society and its influence on resources and values.
The "7 Mountains Mandate," as it is sometimes called, is a framework for Christians to engage with these areas, not just through individual conversions, but by seeking influence within these key societal structures. This often involves prayer, strategic leadership, and promoting Christian values within each sphere.

FEC approves N2 trillion for Sokoto–Badagry highway sections, N1.65 trillion for Lagos–Calabar coastal road



The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N2 trillion for sections of the Sokoto–Badagry highway and N1.65 trillion for sections of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway.

Minister of Works David Umahi announced this after the FEC meeting on Thursday in Abuja.

He said the Sokoto–Badagry approvals include a second carriageway of 258 kilometres in Kebbi at N961 billion, alongside an earlier 2024 contract for a single carriageway at N947 billion.


An additional 120 kilometres in Sokoto was approved at N456 billion, bringing the combined cost for these sections to about N2 trillion.

For the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, the new approvals cover sections 4A and 4B, totalling 80.35 kilometres between Ogun and Ondo States. The six-lane road, estimated at N1.65 trillion, involves major earthworks, soil replacement, and elevation to prevent flooding along swampy terrain.


Then we have the Sokoto–Badagry. You are aware that we had awarded the Sokoto–Badagry before now, I think it was in August 2024, and that was 258 kilometers in Kebbi for one carriageway. And that was for a contract sum of N947 billion.

“So today we have awarded the second carriageway in Kebbi, 258 kilometers, three lanes, for N961 billion. And then in Sokoto, an additional 120 kilometers for N456 billion.

“So, we have completed in Sokoto 120 kilometers by 2, that’s 240 kilometers, and that’s roughly about N920 billion. And in Kebbi you have 258 times 2, that’s 516 kilometers, and that is roughly about N2 trillion,” Umahi said.


He added, “Lastly, the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway section 4a and 4b. 4a is in Ogun State. Taking from where section 2 stopped at Lekki. And then going to the Ondo. We have about 40 kilometers in Ogun State. And a 40.35 kilometer in Ondo State. And so the Ondo has gotten to the border between Ondo and Ondo State. And that’s where we are. And the total kilometer is 80.35 by 2. That is 80.535 kilometers, six lanes. And the total contract sum is N1.65 trillion.”

He also disclosed that the Trans-Sahara Road project from Ebonyi to the Benue border has been revised from 118 to 221.64 kilometres due to poor soil conditions, with two new bridges added. The total contract sum for this project has increased from N361 billion to N445.851 billion.

More insights
Umahi said the FEC also approved revisions and extra funding for several other highways across the country.

The Biu–Numan road in Borno and Adamawa, awarded in 2020 for 45 kilometres at N15.43 billion, has been revised to N61.763 billion due to inflation and other cost pressures, with the original scope retained.

The 43.6-kilometre Maraba–Keffi dual carriageway, awarded in May 2023, has been restructured to use concrete pavement. Following the fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate changes, the project will now be executed in phases. With N76 billion available from NNPC cash flow, one carriageway and 2 kilometres of the second carriageway will be completed, while the rest of the route will be maintained.

For the Ikorodu–Shagamu road, which is about 25 percent complete after being reviewed in March 2023, FEC approved an additional N11.423 billion to accelerate work.
In Yobe State, the 36.2-kilometre Kashamu–Amshi–Guru–Gurus road has been adjusted to include a binder course, a vehicle bridge to replace a pedestrian bridge, and concrete protection for swampy sections. These additions raised the contract cost by N8.94 billion, up from the initial N14.526 billion.
The Ado Ekiti–Afe Babalola University road, awarded in February 2023 for 40.72 kilometres, has been scaled down due to funding constraints and will now cover 14.4 kilometres at a cost of N9.32 billion.
