We will mourn Raila Odinga like we never had any differences with him. We will mourn him not because he was always good to us, but because the democracy we enjoy today stands on his shoulders. He bears the scars, and he deserves the credit.🕊️

[George T. Diano @georgediano]

Commercial activists were on TV claiming that today is a national holiday. The statement itself invites goonism & vandalism bcoz we all know how protest end up nowadays. We are tired of these senseless protests that only leads to innocent Kenyans being shot & businesses looted. NGOs mikoras are cashing out while innocent Kenyans are suffering our here. Hapana Buana,, this Nonsense needs to stop!!

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history.

The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer.

We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you.

Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM
TODAY’S DEVOTION (Tuesday 7thJanuary 2025)

“For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 TLB

WELCOME TO THE 7TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY.

Yesterday we saw the sixth and seventh dimensions. Today, we want to look more into a part of the seventh dimension; the dimension of walking in God’s plans for our lives.

No year will be blessed and beautiful for us if we do not follow God’s plans for our lives. The year 2025 is not an exception. If we want the year to be bright and beautiful, we must strictly follow the plans of God for our lives, instead of any other.

There are three basic plans that everyone on earth is following. Some are following the plans of God, some the plans of man, and others the plans of the evil one. That is why things are the way they are.

The Bible sometimes calls plans “counsels.”

God designed mankind to succeed in time and eternity by following His plans, because only the counsel of God shall stand. Only the plans of His heart for all generations will stand. Yes, only His plans or counsel will stand because they are permanent and take precedence over any other plan.

Our job is to make them our plans. We are to privatize them. People who privatize God’s plans live significant lives on earth. They may not live happy lives, because of what usually come against them, but the Joy of the LORD is always their strength.

They usually enjoy the best of Heaven for the earth, ride on the wings of divine help and amazing grace, and find themselves on the high places of the earth. The dark kingdom does not usually succeed against them. They are usually built to be feared in hell and respected in heaven.

They could be thrown into lion’s dens by people of the dark kingdom, but the plans of the LORD they follow usually come for their rescue.

They could be locked up in dungeons, the angels of the LORD that executes the plans of the LORD they follow, will always come for their rescue. One of the countless reasons why you should privatize God’s plans this year, is the angelic presence they will make available in your life every day of the year.

YES, IF WE ALL PRIVATIZE GOD’S PLANS FOR OUR LIVES THIS YEAR, THE YEAR WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST FOR EVERYONE OF US.

We will be operating in the seventh dimension all the year and be experiencing amazing angelic ministrations. In fact, the Bible teaches that the angels of the LORD build their camp around those who fear the LORD; who follow His plans for their lives or privatize them.

One day Jacob, a man who privatized God’s plans for his life in his days, was returning from the house of his uncle, and ran into the angels who had built their camp around him for over 60 years. The Bible says;

So, Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim. Genesis 32:1-2 NKJV

These angels had followed him from his father’s house when he was running away from Esau.

They followed him because he ran never ran through the pathways of the sixth dimension. He ran following the pathways of the seventh dimension; the dimension of God’s plans for his life; which is the best way to run away from harm or danger.

I don’t know what might be pursuing you or what might desire to pursue you this year, the best way to escape will be to run away from it following the pathways of God’s plans for your life. Privatize God’s plans for your life this year 2025, and watch His angels building their camp around you for good.

The privatization of God’s plans for each generation by the men and women of that generation, was the secret of living fulfilled lives for those who followed the LORD in past generations. We can not be different in our generation. We must learn to privatize God’s plans for our generation as our fathers did in their generation.

Men like Paul said, “my life is worth nothing except I spend it doing the things assigned to me by the LORD Jesus Christ.”

He privatized God’s plans, today we are still talking about him. God would later use him to show the world what the Christian faith is. That is why, if you take away all the LORD use him to pen down in the Bible, you will not know what Christianity is.

YOU WILL CALL ANYTHING WITH THE NAME OF THE LORD IN ITS FRONT, “CHRISTIANITY.”

There is no end to what the LORD can use us to do this year, if we privatize the plans of His heart for our generation.

There is no end to how much of a blessing you can be to others, if you privatize God’s plans for your life this year. The voice of the LORD to each and every one of us today is that we should privatize His plans for our lives in 2025 and stop engaging in endless pursuits.

If you keep following what is your passion instead of what is God’s plans, you will just be busy here and there this year, and achieving nothing. You will never be blessed, or come out victorious. You will keep being a liability and burden to people instead of a blessing and asset to them.

By the time we get to December 31st 2025, you will realize that you had achieved nothing. But that is not the will of God for your life, hence sending this word. So, follow God’s plans this year, and privatize them. Do not privatize your passions calling them God’s plans. Time will prove you wrong!!

The fact that you love a thing and feel so strong about it, does not mean the thing is God’s plans for you.

Privatize the plans of God; the counsels of His heart for your life and for this generation. Make them your life counsel and plans. Yield to the Holy Spirit daily, asking Him what they are, and reading the Bible as you ask, and He will help you sense them.

You might also need to listen to any apostolic authority you might be under and what you find the LORD driving him to drive you to do. God used Paul to bring Timothy and Titus into His plans for their lives.

There might be a Paul in your space to listen to and follow at this time of your life to sense and come into God’s plans. But you must be careful not to be led astray. You must make sure the person has the spiritual passion of Paul, and is not driven by a selfish desire or carnal influence.

HOWBEIT, UNDERSTAND THAT 2025 WILL NOT BE A BLESSING IN YOUR LIFE IF YOU DO NOT PRIVATIZE GOD’S PLANS FOR YOUR LIFE.

It might not be cheap to do that, but that is what you must do if you will have a happy new year every day of the year 2025.

Finally, let me state this; in Hebrews chapter 11, you find a list of men and women who formed the cloud of many witnesses of that age and time. They made it to that realm because they lived their days privatizing God’s plans for their lives. You will not just enjoy an earthly benefit if you privatize God’s plans. You will also enjoy a Heavenly benefit.

God’s plans are perfect, personal, and are revealed in Scriptures. They are permanent and superior. Privatizing them is the key to living a fulfilled life in an unstable world.

The Bible says,

“The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever,The plans of His heart to all generations.” Psalm 33:10-11 NKJV

You will never privatize something like what you find in this scripture, and live your life according to the script of your enemies, or suffer what the world suffers. You will be a breed that is not of this world indeed, and reap the blessings thereof.

The word privatize means, to make private, to make something to belong to you alone or used by you alone. In the context of this devotional, it means to make God’s plans your plans. Our devotional text presents where you will end if you do that. It says;

“For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

The text teaches that if we privatize God’s plans, we will have a future and a hope. Yes, we will have a glorious and prosperous future because we will see the glorious things spoken of us in His word, coming to pass in our lives. Amen and amen!!!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR TODAY;

“His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!” Selah Psalm 87:1-3 NKJV

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Sunday 5thJanuary 2025)

“Awake, awake! Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you.

Shake yourself from the dust, arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!” Isaiah 52:1-2 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 5TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY.

Well, for those who are yet to wake up, we have just eaten four days of the year 2025. Today is the fifth day, the first Sunday of the year. There are more Sundays to come, and before you know it, we will be in January 2026.

Moments are passing, days are rolling by. Whatever you have to do, please do it. Time is running out very fast, if we do not rise to do what we were created to do, we will become a wasted generation.

Today we want to refresh our minds on one major reason why people do not live their lives to fulfill what God created them to do; that reason is worry. We allow worries to fill our hearts, thereby hindering us.

There are no words to describe what the life of a Christian will become if he spends it worrying about his earthly needs. 2025 is one beautiful year that you should not destroy with such carnal worries. You have a Father in heaven who takes care of your needs.

Ordinarily, every Child of God malfunctions whenever he or she begins to worry about earthly needs. That was why our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ warned that we will add no value to our lives if we spend them worrying about anything.

You will never add any value to your life in 2025 if you spend your days worrying about anything. The book of Matthew puts it this way;

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body what you will out on. Is life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew ,27 NKJV

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE ONE OF YOUR GUIDING LIGHTS THIS YEAR, BECAUSE WORRYING DOES NOT ADD TO YOU, IT RATHER DIMINISHES YOU.

Worrying is you sitting in the dark moments of your life developing negatives. It is cracking your head over things you cannot change. It is generating excruciating thoughts and feelings about painful things that are beyond you and loosing hope about life itself.

Do not do that in 2025; do not do that any other year. Do not try to squeeze answers from questions that lack human answers. Jesus said we should not do any of that because it will add nothing to us!

Worrying has never added to anyone on the face of the earth. It has only functioned as the birthplace of high blood pressure and all kinds of diseases and evil expectations. If you want to live a healthy life this year, then take worry out of the table.

Worrying has also functioned as the birthplace of sinful acts, bad decisions and dangerous turns in life. Any moment you sit down worrying, you are wasting away. Yes, you are wasting your time, talent and treasure. You are not putting them in good use. Do not do that this year. It will bring ruin.

If you spend your days in worry, you do not need a devil to attack you, you have attacked yourself. Satan loves seeing us worry because that is the time we make ourselves vulnerable to his deception and eventual baptism of foolishness.

Do not allow the enemy to baptize you with foolishness this year.

Worrying is the wrong foundation to stand on to do anything meaningful this year. Stand on the word, not on worry.

For instance, there are people who got married because they were worried about age, and etc. There are some who got married because of the worry of dying single. We do not get married because of any of that.

WE GET MARRIED TO FULFILL DIVINE AGENDA; TO FULFILL GOD’S WORD OVER OUR LIVES.

Anything we do out of worry, will give birth to a terrible Ishmael. The word Ishmeal is a metaphor for situations that will be always be against you, maybe all your life!
In 2025, do not do anything out of worry. Do not open your life up to unnecessary battles due to carnal worries.

Most lives were brought under intense satanic attacks through worry! I have seen worry turn sane people into mentally deranged people. I have seen worry do things in the lives of people that even demons cannot do!

Worry has handed over beautiful women to terrible men, and promising young men to terrible women. Worrying can take a very destructive dimension. Especially, worrying about getting old and not getting married. It has served as a threshing floor of marital doom for many years.

Do not allow your heart to be plagued by carnal worries this year. If you do, you may wake up one morning to find yourself away from Christ. You might even wake up on the wrong side of the year, and begin to have your life fed on by sorrows.

The exploits of worry are endless. Worry has taken people from the narrow way that leads to life to the broad way that leads to death. It will take more this year. So, do not be part of the list. Worry has been the bedrock of compromise in the life of many in Church, opening evil portals over people. Do not allow your year to be ruined by it.

Worry has forced people to do things that opened the portals of grave over them, eventually taking them to premature graves. It has placed people in dangerous panic modes.

When you are placed on the panic mode of worry, the death of your peace will be a matter of time. Worry has a way of killing anything that gives life to our mortal bodies. Do not allow it to kill anything in your life this year.

Worrying has blurred the life vision of many, put veils on minds, and taken people from destiny places to damnable places. It has taken people from destiny relationships to damnable relationships. It has served as the transport facility of evil for many years.

DO NOT ALLOW IT TO SERVE AS A TRANSPORT FACILITY OF EVIL IN YOUR LIFE THIS YEAR.

Live a life that will not allow worry take root in your life or impregnate you with dangerous doubts.

Spend each day of the year, shaking your mind free of carnal worries. Yes, live each day making sure no uncircumcised and unclean thing settle on your mind, that will make you worry. Let your mind rest on the LORD.

A major highlight in our devotional text says;

“For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you….shake yourself from the dust, arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!”

I believe God has spoken to someone. The year will be a year of victory for you. Do not make it a year of carnal worries. If you do, it will shut down everything God intends to do in your life.

Do not spend any day of the year recalling painful memories of things that may have happened; things you cannot change, and developing excruciating feelings about them. You will be chained to the oppressing demons that will come out of the underworld this year.

Do not forget, they love people who worry, so that they can manipulate their thoughts.

That is one major reason why God want you to spend this year worrying about nothing, and putting your mind on Him. His word says instead of worrying about a thing, we should pray about it. We should cast our care upon Him. That is what to do this year. Instead of worrying, pray.

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY.

“Rejoice in the LORD always. Again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to all men. The LORD is at hand.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.” Philippians 4:4-7 NKJV

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (Wednesday 1STJanuary 2025)

“Jerusalem, the time is coming, when it will be said to you: “Don't be discouraged or grow weak from fear!

The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love” Zephaniah 3:16-17 CEV

WELCOME TO THE 1st DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY.

A happy new year to you and everyone that is part of your life, in Jesus precious name. It is the mercies that the LORD showed us each day in previous years, that made it possible for us to be alive to see 2025, a year He has declared to be our year of Victory.

We give God the glory for granting us mercies to be part of those who are alive to see this year. It is not because of our holiness or righteousness but because of His mercies. If the LORD should mark iniquities none of us can stand. But there is forgiveness with Him so that He might be feared.

In Bible days, the beginning of a year was very significant. It was usually a season for the blowing of the Trumpet. Then it was a ram’s horn that was used. But today, Christ has been fulfilled.

It is no longer a sound from a ram’s horn, but the knowledge of the prophetic word from God; the Testimony of Jesus Christ Himself, holding in it what the Church need to know or use in traveling through the days of the year with.

So, in the beginning of a year like this, God will send living words or words to live by to His people through the apostolic and prophetic mantle; prophetic words of truth and reason to guise us through the year with.

We call them prophetic light.
Such lights are usually determined by so many things, ranging from the season God’s people find themselves, to the kind of darkness that surrounds them.

IT CAN ALSO BE DETERMINED BY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH THEIR LIVES AND WHAT THE ENEMY ALSO WANTS TO DO.

Generally, in a world of prophetic and moral darkness, God’s people will always need prophetic light from the Light of the world in their hearts, coming in what the Bible describes as the Testimony of Jesus Christ, or the spirit of Prophecy, to live their days in light.

That is why such lights are always in tandem with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures.

Our apostolic Cross Over Service was filled with that light. Sadly, the media staff who works in the studio, intentionally deleted the video due to some senseless concerns that were in my purview to determine.

I don’t know why some staff mix destruction with their beautiful service.

It’s a policy in the media unit that I make such decisions, but she decided to be the boss that moment. I would have said you go back to the YouTube Channel to catch up what you missed.

Everyone who was there would tell you it was an explosive session that no believer should miss. That is why I wanted it on the channel as long as time permits.

Using some powerful Bible symbolisms, the LORD filled our hearts with so many things about our destiny that those who call upon His name must come into.

One of the many high points was the revelation of an invasion of the earth realm, by dark spirits from the land of the dead or the underworld that will happen from 2025.

Their mission will be to increase hell worthy people, by forcing people to live the very damnable lives that the souls that are presently in the land of the dead lived, while they were here on earth.

The LORD also spoke to us about the Kind of Churches and Christians that will be visited by this dark forces.

We also saw the Mystery behind the Jerusalem that now is, and the Jerusalem above. We saw the fire that Joshua the High priest in Zecharia was plucked from. It was an unusual apostolic service that all believers should watch and participate in.

I will do a repeat of that broadcast this night so that those who missed it can participate, and those who participated can refresh their souls. It will be streamed live on our YouTube channel (Present truth for Present times TV – Apostle Takim) and left there. We will do that from 9pm East African Time (7pm Nigerian Time).

HOWEVER, THE WISE WILL NOT JUST DEPEND ON YOUTUBE OR GO TO DOWN LOAD THE MESSAGE ON YOUTUBE BUT BUY.

Those who download are not doing a good thing because when you buy, you add to the financial strength of the ministry to reach more souls with the word. But when you download you are selfish, because the internet bundles you use are still paid for. So, do not be selfish, be an asset to the ministry.

The best way to preserve the knowledge is by buying your own copy in audio or video formats, and have it in your hands forever. You can order for it by reaching out to [phone]. You will need a small size hard drive for the video version due to our desire to retain the video quality.

The Bible says,

“I will sing a new song to You, O God; On a harp of ten strings, I will sing praises to You, The One who gives salvation to kings, who delivers David His servant from the deadly sword.
Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!” Psalm 144:9-10, 15 NKJV

I don’t know how you feel when you read scriptures like this. But I feel so good about my God. I also feel a fire within me telling me that God can do the same for me. Hallelujah!!

The Bible says He is the God who deliver kings. That is not just a reference to monarchies, but a reference to every one of us who have been made a king and a priest by the blood of Jesus Christ.

What he did for David. He can do for us, so that we can also sing upon an instrument of ten string or any other instrument of music.

He can deliver us from any deadly sword that might be prepared against us by any devil, human or fallen angel, and keep us safe from the enemy this year. Yes, He will do things in our lives that will make Him sing because of us, like we can see in our devotional text. The text says;

“Jerusalem, the time is coming, when it will be said to you: “Don't be discouraged or grow weak from fear!

The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love” Zephaniah 3:16-17 CEV

THE WORD HERE IS FOR THOSE WHO BELONG TO THE JERUSALEM THAT IS ABOVE; A WORD TO HOLD UNTO THROUGH 2025.

But within context, as earlier stated, it is for those who belong to the Jerusalem above; the heavenly Jerusalem.

Meaning, it is for people who have been washed by the blood of Jesus, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, it is for the righteous and not the wicked, for the Godly and not the ungodly, for those who fear the LORD and tremble at His word, not for everyone with the name of the LORD on their lips.

The text contains what will happen in heaven when we stumble into the victories and blessings the LORD has planted in the days of the year for us.

This year is that time when it will be said to us, “Don’t be discouraged or grow weak from fear! No matter the fearful things that might happen” because of what the LORD is set to do in our lives. He is set to move us from victory to victory. That is why it is our year of victory.

The LORD our God has a history of winning from victory to victory, and is always with us.
This year, He will celebrate and sing because of us. He will refresh our lives each day with His love. He will do things in your life just for the purpose of singing because of you.

Shout a big amen wherever you are reading this!!!

Friend, we are indeed blessed to have the creator of Heaven and the earth as our GOD. His love and care for us all who worship Him is unmatched.

He is the only one who can go into a year you are yet to live in, to smoothen things up for you, and plant awaiting blessings with instructions to explode in your life, when you get there. Hallelujah!!

Yes, God plants awaiting blessings in some days of a year we are yet to enter. He gives them inherent instructions to explode on our lives, when we get to those days.

CHILD OF GOD, 2025 HAS AWAITING BLESSINGS FOR YOU;

I call them prophetic-timed blessings. They are from heaven, designed in the technology of timed bombs. They are set with Heavenly timers, prepared to explode on our lives with significant outbreaks of God, when we get there.

Oh, I am so excited about that, I guess you are excited as well.
My future and your future are blessed already with those prophetic-timed blessings. They will change the course of our lives for the best, bringing about the victory the LORD has promised us.

That is what to expect this year, despite the visitation of dark spirits from the underworld, or the land of the dead.

I believe the LORD has spoken to us already. He has given us a Rhema word for the year. What is left now is faith in it.

It is important to hold on to the word. It is important to travel through 2025 with it, and not allow anyone to tell you things outside what the LORD has already told you. It is dangerous to hear from people sometimes after you have heard from God.

What they will say will kill your faith in what God has said. So, control your ears.

As we bring this to a close, I want to state that, Satan also have evil things he has planted in the year to explode on people when they get to the days those things are planted. He has the power to do so because he is a spirit being.

But what he plants can only happen in the life of those who walk according to the flesh not according to the Spirit.

That is why the Bible says to be carnally minded is dead. It will order one’s steps into the terrible things Satan has planted in certain days; things he has timed to happen to people. This is a call to all of us to walk with Jesus Christ this year. He is called the Day.

He is not called the Day for nothing. He is called the Day because He can fashion our days to make sure we escape what the devil planned to happen to mankind on certain days of the year 2025, or any other year. The Bible says;

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah.

Our God is the God of salvation; And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.” Psalm 68:19-20 NKJV

This scripture speaks of the prophetic-timed blessings God set to explode in our lives, and the LORD’s ability to create escape for us, not just from death but from all the Devil may have timed to happen to mankind this year, or any other year.

With faith in this scripture, and other truths the LORD has spoken to us in this devotional, your life in 2025 is already covered. Amen and amen!!!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY!!

“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:3-10 NKJV

THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (TUESDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2024)

“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Isaiah 45:2-3 KJV

WELCOME TO THE 366TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF IMPACT

We started this year in the presence of God, and we have decided to end it in the presence of God. We invite you to join us tonight from 9pm East African Time (9pm EAT), for an apostolic cross over service.

It will be streamed live on all Apostle Takim’s social media platforms (YouTube – present truth of present times, Facebook, etc,) and on our Television channel, the Morning Cloud Television Global, or MCTV Global.

You can find the channel (MCTV Global) on all free to air satellite dishes in Sub-Saharan Africa. You can also download the app (MCTV Global) from google play store into your android phone, or from apple store into your iPhone or iPad to follow the service live. The channel is also on Amazon Tv, Roku Tv, XUMO, and etc.

Nothing in life is designed to be by might or by power. Every thing is designed to be by the Spirit of the living God. We need the Spirit of the LORD now more than ever. Hallelujah!!

Obviously, today’s devotional is the last for the year 2024. It is the last day of the year and its important that we close the day by stirring our minds to build our lives in 2025, around an apostolic truth that the LORD stated in His word, through the pen of one of his foremost apostles. I hope we are ready!!

Let me begin by saying this; the best way to live our days on earth, is to summit to Christ, and spend each day of our years, doing just His blessed will and nothing else! If you live any year that way, you will not need prayers from anyone to succeed.

You will not fall into the deception of raising or silencing an altar, sowing a seed to make your life better, going to any mountain to pray before God can hear you, or putting your self under the influence of any other heretic practice like the desperate do.

In fact, you will be the one praying for people to succeed. You will generate so much power in your life that the entire gates of hell will not be able to stand before you.

GOD’S FOREMOST APOSTLE PAUL SAID THIS IN THE FIRST PASTORS’ CONFERENCE BY A GENUINE APOSTLE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD;

He said;

“But life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” Acts 20:24 TLB

The words in this scripture are the greatest apostolic purpose driven words that one can make the Centre of his or her life for a life time. We can call them “the Acts 20:24 word.”

In the year 2024, we made them the center of our lives. In 2025 and beyond, we will still do the same.

The Human Life was not designed to make any object in the heavens, on the earth, the underworld, or any other world the center of it. The Human life was designed to make God and what He created the life for, the center of its existence. That is why we must be careful what we make the center of our lives.

God’s servant apostle Paul, made the LORD’S assignment for his life the center of his existence. It gave him so much stability and strength in life despite what he faced living that way.

The Bible teaches that he faced so much in the hands of wicked men and women, and created so many enemies for himself because of how much he was sold out to the LORD. He would go to be one of those who worked harder than any genuine apostle that had ever lived, making his life and walk with the LORD an inspiration for many generations.

So many times, his life was put in jeopardy because people who live that way put their lives in Jeopardy.

He was in prison more often than can be counted, he was flogged, exposed to death severally, five times he received 40 lashes minus one, three times he was beaten with rods, often he went without food and without sleep, he was cold and naked so many times, he was in danger of robbers, hateful jews, in danger of ungodly men and women, hated by the status quo, called an evil doer, and branded a cultist in some quarters.

His life teaches that you can’t make the acts 20:24 apostolic word your mantra in life and live a normal life.

BUT HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY TO ALL HE WENT THROUGH;

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 KJV
Paul was able to call all the terrible things he suffered light affliction. It was not by might or by power, but by the Spirit of the living God.
He obviously did not allow his heart to be fed with all he was going through. He protected himself from all that he went through by feeding his heart with things which are unseen, especially those contain in the LORD’S assignment for his life. That is the way to go in 2025.

The Bible says, he never looked at the things which were seen, all he was going through, because the things he was seeing were temporal. Yes, if you are sold out to God’s will, He will make sure all the unpleasant things you go through become temporal. He will make you live longer than they all.

Your pains, afflictions and anything unpleasant that come your way, will not be permanent. They will come and go, while you remain strong like a rock.

The year might not be smooth for those of us who will be sold out to do God’s will like Paul was, but it still pays to be sold out to the LORD because the God who smoothens the pathways of life, will be always be with those who are sold out. He will be with them to smoothen their paths and make the year glorious despite the challenges.

Our devotional text today is a prophetic promise from the LORD God. It says;

“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Isaiah 45:2-3 KJV

Yes, the LORD has promised to go ahead of us in 2025 to make the crooked places straight. However, the promise is not for everyone.

It is important to understand that God is just, and that He gives to each one according to their deeds. If you claim a Bible promise whose standard you have not met, that promise will not speak in your life.

SO, THE ISAIAH 45:2-3 PROMISE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

The promise has a standard. It only works in the life of those who are sold out to the lord Jesus Christ, like Paul. The promised is not even for those who are sold out to their greedy and covetous pastors, but to those who are sold out to the LORD.

Yes, it is not for those who are sold out to their papas, prophets, apostles or whoever they find in God’s garment. It is for those who are sold out to the LORD!!!

I reiterate again that if you want the LORD to go before you and smoothen the year for you, you must be sold out to the LORD. You must live your days rejecting the ungodly and wicked ways of this world, and following the ways of the LORD. In addition to that, you must live your days doing only what is assigned to you by the LORD.

Like Paul, we must spend 2025 realizing that our life is worth nothing, except we spend it doing the things that are assigned to us by the LORD Jesus Christ. We must question if the things preachers are assigning to us are actually from the LORD Jesus Christ. Yes, we must not follow the dark trends in Church, and anything that makes people to be sold out to their so-called spiritual fathers instead of Christ.

You must realize that a genuine spiritual father will build your life around Christ, not himself. He will train you to be sold out to Christ not to him. He will never be a replacement of the Heavenly father in your life, but a scaffold for knowing the Heavenly father intimately.

In conclusion, I will like to give us an apostolic counsel.

It is very dangerous to live your days sold out to a preacher, especially this end times because many of us preachers have become wicked like Lucifer. Many are not called of God. They are not even born again. Most of those who are called have sacrificed our callings on the altars of sexual immorality, greed and covetousness.

MAMMON HAVE STOLLEN OUR HEARTS.

So many of us now use God to build business empires for ourselves and our children. If you become sold out to us, we will use you and dumb you one day. If we do not use you and dump you, we will never let you find the True Jesus but the one we present to you. This is a very sad development that the LORD will judge severely.

Therefore, I admonish us to be sold out to Jesus Christ alone, and we will enjoy our Christianity. Let any preachers who is sold out to the LORD like Paul, become your teacher. You will find yourself sold out to the LORD too.

The Bible admonished that we Honor those who labour in the word to form Christ in us, but there is no place in scripture where we are told to be sold out to them. They are to serve as a pattern to enable us to be sold out to the LORD, even as we extend the frontiers of the Kingdom of God under their tutelage.

You see, most preachers today are wicked, selfish, money minded, covetous and greedy. Sometimes, it is even dangerous to be around them. So, if you become sold out to them, maybe to get married, or get anything, you will never find the true Jesus. You will end up destroying yourself.

Let he that has an ear, here what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Amen!!!
See you in 2025!!!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY

For many imposters (seducers, deceivers, and false leaders) have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge (confess, admit) the coming of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) in bodily form. Such a one is the imposter (the seducer, the deceiver, the false leader, the antagonist of Christ) and the antichrist.

Look to yourselves (take care) that you may not lose (throw away or destroy) all that we and you have labored for, but that you may [persevere until you] win and receive back a perfect reward [in full].

Anyone who runs on ahead [of God] and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ [who is not content with what He taught] does not have God; but he who continues to live in the doctrine (teaching) of Christ [does have God], he has both the Father and the Son.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine [is disloyal to what Jesus Christ taught], do not receive him [do not accept him, do not welcome or admit him] into [your] house or bid him Godspeed or give him any encouragement. 2 John 1:7-10 AMPC

Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states!

Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won:

– Presidency
– Popular vote
– Senate majority
– House majority
– State governor majority
– State legislature majority

The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence 🙄

This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!
