2025/2026 OPERATION 18-18 – (COVENANT OF PROTECTION/PRESERVATION II)

That same God has told us that his year is our year of unprecedented progress, the scripture for this is Isa. 45:1-3,

“Thus sayeith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in piece 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 45:1-3, KJV

What do you do with a word of prophecy? Receive it, pray it. “Believe in the LORD your God; so shall ye be established. Believe His prophets; so shall ye prosper” (2 Chro. 20:20^b).

When God’s hand is upon you, your progress will be unprecedented because it is divinely activated, divinely generated and so it will be divinely perpetuated. What most people fail to realize is that whatever God births, no one can abort. The reason why some ministries close down is because God give birth to a ministry by the power of the Holy Spirit and somewhere along the line the Visioner gets confused and starts surrendering to the wings and caprices of people who are not tuned with the vision and with the move of the Holy Spirit.

You don’t outsource leadership; direction is given only to the leader. The Shepherd is the only one who has the rod for direction and for correction. It not the flock that leads the shepherd, it is the shepherd that leads the flock! Don’t outsource it. A  ministry that is given birth to by the Holy Spirit can only be sustained by the power of God the Holy Spirit not by committee of elders; committee without commitment. It must not be allowed to run on auto pilot, the moment you do, the Holy Spirit will vacate. And that is when all manner of things begins to happen, politics takes over.

Anywhere you find democracy, check it, God is not there because it is not about God, it is about the people. In most African countries, it is not even about the people, it is about self, about hunters, ‘lions’ taking over and that is why the system is so predatory – zero altruism, absolute magnification of self, full of idolatry. There is no God in it.

Let’s come humbly into the presence of God and try not to impose your will on the will of the servant of God. Things cannot spoil in the hands of a true man of God as long as he has no agenda of his own, no dignity to protect but divinity to promote. As long as they follow this path, the hand of God will always be upon them.

We are going to experience unprecedented progress boundlessly this year. The hand of God is what guarantees it. When the hand of God is upon you, the gates of nations will swing open; the gates of blessings can never be shut against you.

Pray –

• The gates of good things, the gates of miracles, the gates of divine elevation, the gates of comprehensive success, the gates of comprehensive divine protection, the gates of blessings that make rich and do not add any sorrow shall never be shut against me, it shall never be shut against any member of my family in the name of Jesus.
• The Lord will go before me to level the mountains, fill up the valleys and make the crooked paths straight. He will give us hidden treasures, real riches in the name of Jesus.
