VICTORY OVER TERRITORIAL POWERS
Colossians 2:14-15: “Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us)…disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over […]
POWERS THAT GOVERN TERRITORIES
The city was never quiet. By day, it buzzed with commerce, religion, and ambition. By night, it carried secrets too heavy for the streets to confess. Places of worship multiplied, yet reverence for God was becoming thinner. Many who spoke loudly of God lived privately without restraint. Wealth appeared suddenly, unexplained but celebrated. Stories circulated […]
UNDERSTANDING TERRITORIES IN THE SPIRIT
Obinna had learnt that when many people avoid the same land for different reasons, the land itself is usually telling a story no one was interested in listening to till the end, so he came at the end of the dry season, when dust clung to everything and patience wore thin. From the hill, he […]
TERRITORIAL DOMINION: GOD’S ORIGINAL INTENT
Adedimeji woke every morning to the same routine – he swept the small room he lived in, fetched water from a nearby stream, and watched strangers pass through the vast lands surrounding his house. They built structures, set up boundaries, and enforced rules, sometimes even ordering him around. He obeyed quietly, believing he had no […]

THE KINGDOM-DRIVEN CHURCH
Acts 1:3 “To whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” They had locked the doors again. Not because Rome had changed, but because fear still lived in their bones. The cross […]
SENT FROM HIS PRESENCE: PRAYER THAT PRODUCES OBEDIENCE
“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.’” — Mark 16:15 A messenger was summoned into the king’s chamber and allowed to stand in his presence. He listened carefully as instructions were given, nodded in agreement, and bowed in reverence. But instead of leaving to carry […]
PRAYING THROUGH RESISTANCE: THE DISCIPLE’S WARFARE
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Ephesians 6:12 A farmer planted seed at the beginning of the rains and expected harvest in due season. Weeks passed, yet nothing appeared above the soil. […]
FROM ASKING TO SEEKING: GROWING IN DEPENDENCE
Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” A child once asked his father for bread and was satisfied. He ate, played, and returned to life as usual. Years later, he came back to the same land, but this time around, […]
WATCH AND PRAY: THE DISCIPLE’S SPIRITUAL ALERTNESS
Matthew 26:41: “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” A guard was assigned to protect a city gate at night. He loved his duty and spoke often of how honoured he felt. But one evening, being confident that no enemy would come in, he […]
