Good -Life Devotional: GOD SHALL RAISE RIGHTEOUS LEADERSHIP IN THE LAST DAYS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The Scriptures clearly reveal that God has a divine agenda for righteous leadership in the last days, leadership that will bring prosperity, order, and spiritual vitality to His Church. In Jeremiah 23:5, God promises, “Behold, the days are coming… when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as King and act wisely.” Likewise, Jeremiah 33:15 affirms that God Himself will cause righteousness to flourish through divinely appointed leadership. These passages show that righteous governance is God’s solution to corruption, oppression, and spiritual decline.

   God also declares that wealth without righteousness is unstable. Proverbs 11:28 warns, “He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like green leaves.” Sadly, some believers have shifted their trust from God to money, despite clear instructions such as Galatians 6:6 and 1 Corinthians 16:1–2, which emphasize consistent, intentional financial support for the work of the gospel. When God’s resources are withheld from His purposes, they often end up advancing ungodly agendas, contrary to divine intent.

   However, God will not remain silent. In the last days, Scripture indicates a decisive divine intervention—a forceful shift of power—where unrighteous systems will be overthrown and righteous men and women will be positioned to advance God’s purposes (Daniel 2:21; Psalm 75:6–7). This will result in the restoration of godly stewardship and kingdom prosperity.

    Just as in the early Church, where “there was not a needy person among them” (Acts 4:34–35), God will again raise leaders who prioritize the gospel, steward resources faithfully, and ensure the flourishing of His people. Righteous leadership remains God’s pathway to lasting prosperity for the Church.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and promote good governance.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to promote good governance.

THE FIRST PRAYER POINT IN ANY CHRISTIAN PRAYER AND FASTING PROGRAMME

 The yoke of stagnation and confusion are being broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: THE FIRST PRAYER POINT IN ANY CHRISTIAN PRAYER AND FASTING PROGRAMME

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    In every genuine Christian prayer and fasting programme, priority matters. Jesus Himself established this order when He taught His disciples to pray: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:10–11, AMP). Before daily provision, Jesus pla

ced the coming of God’s kingdom. This shows that God’s government must take precedence over human and satanic systems for lasting provision to manifest.

God’s kingdom represents His rule, justice, righteousness, and order.    Where God’s government prevails, daily bread follows naturally. One of the major reasons for widespread poverty in Africa, especially Nigeria, is not a lack of resources but bad governance. Africa is abundantly blessed with natural wealth (Deuteronomy 8:7–9), yet its people suffer because ungodly leadership mismanages what God has provided. Therefore, Christians must deliberately place godly governance at the top of their prayer points—both individually and corporately.

    Some preachers, unfortunately, attribute poverty solely to curses or witchcraft, while partnering with corrupt leaders. Scripture says otherwise. Psalm 107:38–40 reveals that God’s people are “minished”—a Hebrew term implying being brought low or reduced—because of oppression and poor leadership. Proverbs 29:2 also declares, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

    The early church understood this principle. In Acts 4:32–35, they practiced a godly communal system, and “there was not a needy person among them.” Sadly, many African preachers enjoy functional systems abroad while neglecting to confront ungodly governance at home.

As Christians in Nigeria, we must insist that our prayer points include the enthronement of godly leadership (1 Timothy 2:1–2), so that God’s kingdom may prevail and daily bread may reach the people.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and commitment to good governance.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to promote good governance.

BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER FOR BREAKTHROUGHS

 You shall not labour in vain because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER FOR BREAKTHROUGHS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Persistence in prayer is a vital principle for experiencing spiritual and practical breakthroughs. In 1 Kings 18:42–45, Elijah fervently prayed for rain after a long drought. Though there was no immediate visible result, he did not stop. Instead, he sent his servant to look toward the sea seven times until a small cloud appeared. This teaches that persistent prayer must be accompanied by spiritual alertness. Scripture exhorts us to watch and pray (Matthew 26:41); while praying, we should remain attentive to signs of change that indicate God is at work, even if the evidence seems small at first.

   Jesus affirmed the authority of persistent, faith-filled prayer when He declared, “Whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven” (Matthew 18:18). Elijah exercised this authority earlier when he prayed that there would be no rain, and for over three years there was none (James 5:16–18). The same passage emphasizes that Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, reminding believers that the born-again Christian in Christ carries the same spiritual authority.

Some believers hesitate, feeling unworthy to pray boldly. Yet Scripture assures us that Christ “became wisdom from God… righteousness” for us (1 Corinthians 1:30). We are justified by His grace (Titus 3:7) and by His blood (Romans 5:9). Therefore, righteousness is a gift, not a barrier.

   Jesus Himself modeled persistence when He prayed the same words repeatedly in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:44). Likewise, Daniel continued praying until deliverance came for Israel (Daniel 10:12–14). Jesus also taught that men ought always to pray and not lose heart (Luke 18:1). Persistent prayer positions the believer for divine intervention and lasting breakthroughs.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and persistence in faith.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power for extraordinary Breakthroughs.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

 The stronghold of the enemy over your family shall be broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you. 

Good-Life Devotional: PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, AMP) is not a call to endless words, but to a continual posture of spiritual alertness and dependence on God. Prayer stirs up faith in the hearts of God’s people and actively frustrates the schemes of Satan. Scripture reveals that just as God works through willing human vessels, Satan also uses people to advance his agenda of oppression, injustice, and bad governance (John 10:10). These agents often consult soothsayers and occult powers, while manipulating the masses through deceptive media narratives and false preachers to retain power.

   Because the enemy operates daily, believers cannot afford to pray only during crises such as elections. Waiting until trouble erupts may be too late. God’s people are commanded to engage in continual prayer, asking for the frustration of crafty and wicked plans every day until the return of Jesus Christ (Job 5:12). The early church understood this truth. In Acts 12:1–13, Peter would have been unjustly executed under Herod’s wicked rule if the church had passively declared, “It is well,” without praying. Instead, they prayed fervently, and God intervened.

   Prayer activates heavenly assistance. Angels “excel in strength” and carry out God’s word, but they respond to divine commands released through prayer (Psalm 103:20; Daniel 10:12–13).   Jesus affirmed that what we permit or forbid on earth is endorsed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). Therefore, believers must continually pray for God’s will to prevail in their nations (Matthew 6:10), for righteousness to be established (Proverbs 14:34), and for the scattering of corrupt and wicked agendas. Persistent prayer keeps God’s people spiritually empowered and society preserved under divine influence.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and the  discipline to pray .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to pray effectively.

CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT PROMISE A CONFLICT FREE LIFE

 You shall continue to enjoy unlimited provisions because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT PROMISE A CONFLICT FREE LIFE 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

In 1 Thessalonians 2:18, the Apostle Paul writes, “For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us” (AMP). 

   This verse offers important insight into the biblical worldview of spiritual conflict and divine purpose. Paul does not attribute his delay to chance, logistics, or mere human opposition, but to an intelligent, personal adversary—Satan. This affirms the Christian claim that evil is not simply an abstract force but a real, opposing will that resists God’s redemptive work.

Critics often argue that belief in Satan is a pre-scientific explanation for hardship. However, Scripture presents a balanced view: God is sovereign, yet human responsibility and spiritual opposition coexist. Paul’s statement aligns with Job 1:12, where Satan operates within limits set by God, and with Daniel 10:13, where angelic conflict delayed an answer to prayer. These passages collectively demonstrate that spiritual resistance does not negate God’s power but reveals the reality of an unseen realm.

Furthermore, 1 Thessalonians 2:18 does not undermine God’s goodness. Paul later acknowledges that God can overrule satanic hindrance for greater purpose (Romans 8:28). Satan may delay, but he cannot ultimately defeat God’s plan. This is reinforced in 1 Corinthians 16:9, where Paul notes that open doors for ministry often come with “many adversaries.”

Apologetically, this verse explains why sincere believers may face obstacles while obeying God’s will. Christianity does not promise a conflict-free life but offers a coherent explanation for resistance, suffering, and delay—while grounding hope in Christ’s final victory (Colossians 2:15).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and resilience and faith in the face of crisis .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to resist evil .

GIVING SATAN LEGAL GROUNDS TO HINDER OUR PRAYERS

 You shall overcome that strong opposition because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: GIVING SATAN LEGAL GROUNDS TO HINDER OUR PRAYERS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Zechariah 3:1–5 gives a sobering picture of spiritual reality. Joshua the high priest stood before the Angel of the Lord, yet Satan stood at his right hand to accuse him. Despite Joshua’s sacred office, Satan found legal grounds to resist him because Joshua was clothed in filthy garments—symbolic of sin and self-righteous religion. This reveals a vital truth: position alone does not silence the accuser; righteousness does.

Sin gives Satan legal access to hinder our prayers. Isaiah 59:1–2 declares that God’s hand is not shortened that He cannot save, nor His ear heavy that He cannot hear, but our iniquities separate us from Him. One subtle but dangerous sin is self-righteousness—trusting in personal goodness while being hypercritical of others. Isaiah 64:6 (AMP) reminds us that “all our righteous acts are like filthy rags.” When we rely on man-made religion instead of God’s grace, we empower accusation.

    In Zechariah 3:4–5, God intervened. The filthy garments were removed, and Joshua was clothed with clean robes and a pure turban. This act shows that only God can remove guilt and silence Satan. Victory came not through self-effort but through divine cleansing.

Scripture calls us to examine ourselves honestly. Where are we living in disobedience, even though God’s Word has already made it will clear? Such disobedience hands Satan permission to resist our prayers. 1 John 5:18 assures us that the one born of God is kept by Him, and the evil one does not touch him—but this protection is walked out in obedience.

James 4:7 instructs us to “submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee.” Submission comes first. Satan is only as powerful in our lives as the ground we give him. Repentance, humility, and faith in Christ restore our authority and reopen the heavens over our prayers.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and purity in living .

PRAYERS: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome sin .

PRAYER GIVES THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR HEAVEN TO ACT ON EARTH

 

Doors are being opened for you in high places for breakthrough because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional:
PRAYER GIVES THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR HEAVEN TO ACT ON EARTH
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

   Prayer is not a religious ritual; it is the legal framework through which heaven is authorized to act on earth. In Matthew 9:38, Jesus reveals a profound mystery: although it is God’s will for souls to be saved, He still instructs His disciples to pray that the Lord of the harvest will send laborers.     This shows that divine will often awaits human cooperation. God chooses to work through human agents, just as Satan also requires human vessels to enforce his agenda on earth.
   Psalm 115:16 declares, “The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, but the earth He has given to the children of men.” This verse establishes jurisdiction: heaven belongs to God, but earth has been entrusted to humanity. Therefore, God intervenes in earthly affairs through the permission granted by prayer. This is why Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Prayer aligns earthly authority with heavenly purpose.
    In Ezekiel 11:4, God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy against corrupt leadership responsible for innocent bloodshed. Without that prophetic prayer-action, judgment would not proceed. Likewise, James 4:2 affirms, “You do not have because you do not ask.” Prayer activates what God has already willed.
   Jesus further emphasized this legal authority in Matthew 18:18. The Greek words 'deo' (bind) and 'luo' (loose) are judicial terms, meaning to forbid or permit. Satan himself understood this principle, which is why he sought legal permission before afflicting Job (Job 2). Believers who neglect prayer surrender ground unnecessarily.
  God is seeking believers committed to prayer, for Matthew 7:7–8 assures us that asking, seeking, and knocking release divine action. When believers pray, heaven responds—lawfully, powerfully, and decisively.
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and commitment to intercession .
