Make your promise a reality Dr. Ezekiah Francis Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it (Num.13:30) I hope you have received many promises for this New Year, and I am very happy about it. Remember, all His promises from Genesis to Revelation belong to you and are YES AND AMEN in Christ Jesus for you. Every promise you have ever received personally must be inherited with your diligence and aggressive faith action. Passive waiting for the promises avails nothing. In this article I want to share with you a few secrets how to have your promises fulfilled and appropriate your blessings. Please receive this as a prophetic message for your life. 1. Know the wealth of your Canaan-life This is the first secret to encash all the promises as your own blessings. Even before the day God redeemed His people from Egypt, He promised them Canaan. They started their journey with the predictions of the Promised Land. The entire journey of the entire congregation was just to possess the most blessed Promised Land. God wanted them to know what kind of land was given for them to possess. a) It was a good land, a land of much water, fountains and springs and rivers b) It was a most fruitful land c) It was a land of plenty and prosperity without any scarcity d) It was a land rich of iron and copper and prosperity e) It was a land of milk and honey (Dt.8:7-9) All good things This Old Testament Canaan is a clear picture of life in Christ. Every good and perfect gift comes to you from above through Christ Jesus (Js.1:17). Your Heavenly Father freely lavishes all good things on you to enjoy since you are His darling child (Mt.7:11; 1.Ti.6:17). No good thing will ever be withheld from you in this grace dispensation (Ps.84:11). This revelation will clear all your doubts concerning the will of God for your life. You have the right to claim boldly every good thing from your good Daddy. Your health, wealth, beautiful home, welfare of children, harmonious relationships, powerful ministry, inner peace and bubbling joy all are good things for you. All rivers The Holy Spirit has opened up all His fountains and freely released all the rivers of spiritual, material and physical blessings in and through you (Eph.1:3). From these rivers of living water flow all His supernatural gifts, miracles, Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 5

power, purity, and divine healing (Jn.7:37-39). Truly, you are a spirit-filled watered garden (Isa.58:11). It's your choice to get into the swimming level of this river (Ez.47:5). All fruits It is the perfect will of God for you to exhibit and flourish in all the fruit of the spirit. There is absolutely no need for you to lack in love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control (Ga.5:22). Don t spy out When they reached the border of Canaan, at the mountains of the Amorites, Moses commanded them to go and possess the land at once. But all the assembly gathered and decided to first send spies to the land. Unfortunately, even Moses was convinced with their desires. That was the great blunder they did. God saw their unbelief. So He came down to their level of faith and allowed them to spy out the land. Can you see how God came down to their level of faith? Yes, God never does anything beyond your faith. THE SPIRIT OF GOD TRANSFORMS All fullness You lack nothing in Christ Jesus. You are the member of His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Eph.1:23). God's total perfection is dwelling within you. If you are willing and obedient you can be literally filled with all the fullness of God. You can live like a little god and transform your world (Co.2:9-10; Eph.3:19). All riches Just as iron and copper were abundant like stones in Canaan, you are enriched in all His blessings and prosperity. To make you rich and wealthy in this world, He became poor (2.Co.8:9) He wants to bless you with His material riches far and above all your needs and desires so that you have enough to spare and distribute to this needy world. 2. Know your faith power Another secret to appropriate all the promises is to know the power of your faith which can release or restrict God in your life. It is shocking to know that your God squeezes Himself to the level of your faith. In fact Egypt to Canaan is just eleven days journey. Instead of entering into this land within few days they prolonged for forty years, because of their unbelief. The great tragedy is none of that generation could enter into their long awaited Promised Land. All wandered in the wilderness and died. What a tragedy! 6 Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 He Himself set His law into motion that says, according to your faith be it unto you. God is bound by His own laws and squeezes Himself to suit your faith mold. What a shock! When you have great faith and vision, He displays His great power. When your faith and vision are weak and small, He stoops down to your level and leads you very slowly at your pace. (Ge.33:13-14; Jer.33:3). Alas, many mistook His guidance as God's approval of their small vision and stay content within their limited territory. What a loss! What a deception! Abraham s faith Abraham, the father of faith, started His faith journey without knowing where he was going (Heb.11:8). All he had was his naked faith in the Word of God. He consciously chose to ignore his five senses. He was not anxious or doubtful to send out spies to know the places where he is going. It may look like a blind, crude faith. But this is the evidence of things not seen, the Bible-kind of faith. Doubts On the contrary, those doubting Israelites wanted to double-check whether the land was good or bad, whether the people who dwelled in it were strong or weak, few or many, rich or poor, and whether there were forests or not (Num.13:17-

20). Do you see any need for such doubts when God already promised how the land would be? This is the horror of unbelief. pledge. Unbelief blocks your generous giving. It is the same unbelief that causes people to delay stepping out into their calling. It is one thing to search the Scriptures to find out what belongs to you in Christ, but it s another thing to analyze His blessings with doubt. This marks the dividing line between faith-search and doubt-reasoning. These two forces decide about your victory or defeat, your life or death. Beloved, dare to take risks to fulfill every promise God has given to you. Just receiving promises and prophecies is not enough. Take a decision this year to develop your faith as your number one priority at any cost. Keep in mind God's eternal law that says, Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Rom.10:17). Constantly feed your faith by listening faith building messages. You will be surprised to see the fulfillment of all His promises as you keep focusing on developing your faith by consistent meditation of God's Word. Faith development When your faith is weak, God does His best to build up and grow your faith by His Spirit and Word and by performing miracles. Whenever you falter in your faith walk while trying to build your faith and yield to the faith laws, He will rush to help and lift you up in order to lead you to another level of faith as He did to Peter (Mt.14:28-32). This is the good fight of faith. Horror of unbelief If you persist in unbelief, constantly indulging in negative outlook and talk, without growing in your faith, you will never be able to finish your race. Your destiny will be doomed. Because of such rebellion and unbelief, none of the doubters could enter their Promised Land (Heb.3:19). New Testament believers are not exempt from such danger. When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth (Lk.18:8)? Alas, mowadays many of God's saints die early without even finding out their calling. Even those who find out their calling go to their graves without fulfilling their calling. It's all due to the lack of risk taking, aggressive faith in action. Failure to develop their faith is the main cause for broken relationships, poverty mentality, entanglement in the affairs of this earthly life at the cost of their high calling, defeated and frustrated lives, sin and sickness stricken bodies. It is the unbelief that made Ananias and Sapphira to keep back and hide something for them instead of fulfilling their faith 3. Know that it is your responsibility to possess the promises To see the fulfillment of all God s promises is in your hands, not in God s hand. He did His part perfectly on the cross and freely lavished all His blessings upon you. Now He is just waiting for you to do your part. Many people today passively wait for God to help them possess their promises. The sovereignty of God is a greatly misunderstood subject in the Church today. They overstretched this truth to the extent of saying, nothing happens outside of God s will. Such concept paralyzed many believers today and keeps them from active, diligent, obedient action. The concept, God will do everything, no matter what man does is not scriptural. Why? Why? God brought His people out of Egypt with the sole intention of taking them to the Promised Land. He did everything He could do for them. He raised up His servant Moses. He stretched out His mighty Hand to deliver them and lead them to Canaan, and yet none of them could enter. The entire generation except Caleb and Joshua died and was buried in the wilderness. Who is to be blamed? What happened to God's sovereignty? He Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 7

brought them up to the border of the Amorites, but still they could not step into their land. What is the reason? Why should they be driven back to the wilderness and be buried? Is it the sovereign will and act of God? Think about it. Can you grasp now that it s not God, it is YOU who must possess your blessings. It is YOU who must enlarge your vision and territory (Isa.54:2). Someone said, God can do all things, but He will not do one thing without His man. If they had entered into Canaan straight away, at the mount of the Amorites, all would have enjoyed the riches of Canaan. If they had obeyed Caleb s challenge to go at once to possess the land, instead of believing the negative reports, all would have inherited their possession. How easily and quickly they would have enjoyed the plenty and fertility of their Promised Land. Listen how Caleb challenged them to do their part. Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it (Num.13:30). Caleb made it very clear that it was their responsibility to go and possess. Come on. Let US go! Let US possess! WE are well able! Unless we do our part, His promises become null and void. You can frame His promises and hang them on the wall without ever seeing any of them fulfilled. Likewise Jesus paid the price and bought all His Calvary blessings for you to enjoy. It is up to you to appropriate them by your faith and diligence. Christ and His Body work together to bring His Kingdom to this earth. Christ, the Head of the Church, has finished His assignment. Now your assignment is not yet done. You are responsible for what you are and what you have today, not God. Let this truth break all your passive waiting. God has made you partaker of His Heavenly calling.,but it is up to you to be most diligent and 8 Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 make your call and election sure (Heb.3:1, 2.Pe.1:10). God has given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon (Josh.1:3). Now you should set your foot and tread upon your land. Do you think Abraham would have inherited his Promised Land that God gave him if he had not walked in that land through its length and its width(ge.13:14-18)? Beloved, it s not wisdom to wait and look toward heaven for the fulfillment of His promises and blessings. It is an insult to God to receive new promises every year and to totally ignore them after a few days. Instead of asking, what will God do for me this year, ask what you will do this year. This truth will motivate you to discharge your duties. Take God at His Word and enter into your new territories for God. Please don t ever question God s promises. His Words must be acted upon by faith. Real faith acts immediately. Don t be under the illusion that one day you will possess everything Tune in to hear the prophetic voice!

automatically. the Holy Spirit. You can break every yoke through Christ who lives in you. Rise up! Everywhere fruitful Every phase of your life can be fruitful if you actively cooperate with God. You may not reach your destiny over night, but you can be a blessing wherever you are now. Joseph was successful everywhere - in his home, in Potiphar s house, and even in prison. Where he was, he was a channel of blessing. Don t wait for your palace! Be faithful in your prison also. Joseph was not passively waiting for his teenage dream to be fulfilled but actively engaged in every task. By doing this, he made his dream reality. He was diligent, focused, hardworking and extremely faithful in little things. In his time, he was highly exalted. This is the secret of converting the promises into reality (Ge.39:2-5; 21-23; Eccl.9:10; Ps.105:19-22). Beloved, don t waste your time simply waiting for some magic to happen, but start putting your faith into action. Are you struggling with any sinful habits and addictions? Don t be passive. Don t expect God to do something. He has given you a new nature, His Word and His Spirit. Fill your mind with the thoughts of God through diligent study of the Word and stay full of Get into action right now. Don t wait for your healing but start meditating the healing truths and proclaim them boldly. Stop only praying and start manifesting the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Lay your hands on the sick and command the diseases to leave (Mk.16:17) Start prophesying according to your faith level (Ro.12:6). If you feel you have a calling to serve the Lord, do it with all your strength, even risking your life. Never be calculative in the things of God. Stop counting the cost. Don t wait but work (Es.4:14; Lk.9:62). Don t wait for the revival to change your nation. You carry the revival in your spirit. Ask of the Lord the nations and start going to the highways and byways with the power of the Gospel. Don t wait for invitations, but do what you can do and reach where you can reach right now. God is stirring your spirit to go up at once to possess.

NEW YEAR PROMISE AND PROPHECIES YEAR OF GREAT HARVEST, MIRACLES, SIGNS, WONDERS AND MULTIPLICATION Rev. Benita Francis Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other (Isaiah 45:22) Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession (Ps.2:8) 2017 is the year of unprecedented harvest of souls all over the globe. No nation will be exempt. No nation will be able to close its doors and shut down its airwaves against the avalanche of Gospel preaching and teaching from known and unknown, expected and unexpected sources. In 2017, the Gospel of the Kingdom in all its power and glory will be preached unto the ends of the earth in a speedy preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Mt.24:14). In 2017, Gospel preaching will happen at unprecedented speed and with utmost zeal. Big Gospel meetings, satellite broadcasts, TV programs, new TV channels, open air meetings, street evangelism, door-to-door evangelism and personal evangelism will all be implemented and perfected. In 2017, many new TV-and internetpreachers will arise and some doubtable ones grow dim. God is raising a generation that can say like the apostle Paul, Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ (1.Cor.11:1). Character will be of great importance as preachers realize their responsibility as God's representatives. God 10 Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 Himself will cleanse the image preachers give of Him so that the ends of the earth can truly be saved (Isa.45:22). In 2017, many will arise and say like the apostle Peter, Look at us what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk (Ac.4). Signs, wonders and miracles will be done by simple believers and usher in a great harvest. In 2017, YOU will be the protagonist! God is calling YOU to proclaim His glorious Gospel and to Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My House may be filled (Lk.14:23). He has already endowed you with His authority to do His works (Lk.10:19; Mt.28:18-20; Mk.16:15-20; Ac.1:8). In 2017, each and every gift and talent you have should be used for one single purpose: WINNING SOULS for HIS Kingdom. The Lord of the Harvest will recompense your efforts and meet all your needs far better than any human boss could ever do (Lk.22:35). In 2017, part-time Christianity will no longer work. Only those who make their Christian faith the top priority of their life will experience the righteousness, peace and joy of God s Kingdom (Ro.14:17). Part-time Christians will be swallowed into so many fears, worries and confusions that there will be little difference and distinction between them and unbelievers (Mt.13:1-23). In 2017, rescue miracles and appearances of angels will be commonplace in worldwide

secular media. There will be much hype and controversy about the existence, mission and character of angels. Strong Biblical teaching on angels must be published immediately in order to thwart satan s attempt to draw the masses to his dark side by appearing as an angel of light (2.Cor.11:14). In 2017, satan s plans to bring destruction and disaster will be thwarted again and again by Bible-believing Christians who give themselves to prayer and fasting for the welfare of the nations (Lk.2:37; Book of Nehemiah). In 2017, prayer groups and intercessors will connect and create a mighty worldwide prayer movement that will stop corruption and any attempts to obscure facts and acts in their tracks. In 2017, the nature of prayer will change in many believers. No longer will they offer up begging Old-Testament-type of prayers, not even Gospel-time-prayers, but prayers of authority, knowing that the Lord sends the rod of His strength out of Zion. Believers will rule in the midst of their enemies by exercising their spiritual authority and speaking God's Word and Will into existence in the natural world (Ps.110:2; 107:20; Mk.11:23). In 2017, the gulf between those who only pray and those who only preach will become very small. Completion and perfection will come into the Body of Christ as those who love to pray and intercede also go out and preach, and those who love to preach and teach spend more time in their prayer closets. In 2017, the worldwide Church of Jesus Christ will boldly preach and teach the unsearchable riches of Christ and thus make known not only to the nations, but also to the principalities and powers, the manifold wisdom of God (Eph.3:8-10). In 2017, intelligence and counter-intelligence will appear repeatedly in international headlines. In 2017, the battle between light and darkness, truth and lie, life and death will become every day more poignant. In 2017, hidden motives and agendas of big and small, corporate bodies and individuals, will be revealed and appealed. In 2017, unimaginable victories will be won for small, seemingly unimportant individuals, while the interests of big lobbies will be put on halt. In 2017, faith in righteousness will be restored in many who had almost given up on humanity. Landslide victories will be won by freedomadvocates, and many crippling decrees will be appealed and overthrown. In 2017, we will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but it will be only smaller regional wars. The big war involving many nations that many are predicting as imminent will still be held back by the righteous, praying remnant God has kept for Himself in every nation (Mt.24:6; Ro.11:1-5). In 2017, God s Cyrus will be enthroned and established in America even against the fiercest opposition. In 2017, Israel will overcome her enemies wiles. Jerusalem shall be built and inhabited, and the cities of Judah shall be built (Isa.44:25-26). In 2017, efforts to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem will revive and thrive (Isa.44:28). In 2017, the great worldwide harvest of souls will also sweep through Israel. God will use all kinds of different means to reach all strata of Jewish society. Many hardcore orthodox Jews will have dreams and visions and turn to their Messiah. Many secular Jews will accept Jesus as their Messiah simply by seeing and enjoying the love and support of born-again believers from all over the world. Jews from all walks of life will find their Messiah through healings, miracles, signs and wonders, both in public meetings and in the privacy of their homes. In 2017, the nation of Israel will be a measuring rod for Biblical Christianity. Spirits will divide and churches will split over political Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 11

issues concerning the nation of Israel, but God s eternal plan will be fulfilled without fail. In 2017, you will be saved from sin, sickness and any calamity as you look to God by looking into His Word and knowing Him better every day. In 2017, God Himself invites you to ask of Him the nations (Ps.2:8)! In 2017, those who understand and accept their position in Christ, which is their position in the heavenlies, will shape the destiny of nations (Eph.2:6; 1:21). In 2017, the world will see that the effective, fervent prayer of the righteous truly avails much, not only for himself or his close circle, but for the nations and the entire earth (Jas.5:16-18). The destiny of nations will be shaped by the relentless prayers of the righteous. In 2017, the subject of righteousness in Christ will take center stage in the Church worldwide (2.Cor.5:21). In 2017, believers will increasingly see the privilege and responsibility of their position as ambassadors for Christ. Christians will make it a center point of their attention and a zealous pursuit to live up to their status of divine ambassadors and implore the world on Christ s behalf to be reconciled to God (2.Cor.5:17-20). In 2017, the ministry of reconciliation will be carried out by believers of all denominations and convictions. The Great End-Time Harvest will begin to be gathered in by big and small, famous and unknown, charismatic and noncharismatic, believers and ministers alike. In 2017, small doctrinal differences that hindered the unity and common thrust of the Body of Christ for so many centuries will be washed away by the all-encompassing passion to see the nations turn to Jesus, the One and Only Savior of humanity. In 2017, God is offering you the nations as your inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth as your possession (Ps.2:8). God says: The 12 Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 nations are yours for the asking! In 2017, life and Christianity will be teeming with excitement for those who are willing to die to their own plans and pursuits. There will not be one boring or meaningless minute for those who enroll in God s army of End-Time-harvesters (Lk.10:2). In 2017, the voice of the Lord of the Harvest, the Commander of the army of the LORD, will be clear and compelling to those who accept the challenge to live holy and wholly for Him (Mt.10:37-38; Jos.5:13-14). In 2017, Christian travel will shift from tourism to realism. Believers will no longer be satisfied with visiting and viewing. Intercession and interaction will take center stage as God s heart burden of salvation for every nation becomes a reality in believers hearts. Believers minds will shift from shopping souvenirs to fishing souls, and great joy and excitement will be the result. At the end of such trips, all will be surprised and testify how much fun and relaxation they had by putting God's Kingdom first (Mt.6:33). In 2017, spiritual links and bridges for salvation will be formed between nations through simple believers. One contact with a person from a nation that used to be closed to the Gospel will have great impact and create opportunities for mass salvations (Ac.8:28-39). In 2017, believers will become conscious that they host GOD as living temples of the Holy Spirit and operate in the confidence of CHRIST IN ME, THE HOPE OF GLORY (1.Cor.3:16; Col.1:27). I n 2 0 1 7, G o d s a m b a s s a d o r s a n d representatives will boldly invite the world: Look to me (because CHRIST is in me), and be saved, all you ends of the earth (Isa.45:22; Col.1:27)

ALPHA AND OMEGA IN CHRIST Dr. Ezekiah Francis In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Ge.1:1; Rev.1:8) What a privilege to begin this year with God! In the beginning God is the first sentence in the Bible. This is the great specialty of God s Word. God is always the Beginner. He is the Initiator. He is the First. He is the Foundation. He laid the foundation of the earth. He is the Author. The heavens are the work of His hands. He is eternal. His years go on through all generations and will never end (Ps.102:25-27). He is the Source. All life and breath come from Him (Ac.17:25). You will lack nothing (Ps.23:1). He began this year for you. Jesus your Lord is also the beginning. He was with God before He even created the heavens and the earth (Pr.8:22-31; Jn.1:1-2). He is the Firstborn over all creation. By Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist (Col.1:15-17). The great Holy Spirit was hovering over the face of the waters before anything was created. He is the Breath of the Almighty (Ge.1:2; Job 33:4; Ps.104;30). The moment you came to Christ, you became one with this Great Beginner. He began His good work in you (Phil.1:6). He loved you first, and He chose you first (Jn.15:16). Your life in Christ is God s idea even before the foundation of the world (Eph.1:4). Christ was present from the very beginning, and you were in Him. You are the child of this Great Author and Finisher of life. He began His life in you, and He will complete it till the end. He is not only the beginning, He is also the end. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last (Rev.1:8,11; 21:6; 22:13). Whatever He begins, He finishes perfectly. He initiates, and He completes. Since you are of God, nobody can overthrow you (Ac.5:39). Since the Great Elohim and His Word are your foundation, no rain, flood or wind can shake you even a bit (Mt.7:25). In Christ, you will always be the first in everything. You will be the head, not the tail. You will excel in every area of your life. You will always be on top, never beneath (Dt.28:13). Remember, the devil is not the beginning or the end of your life. He is not Alpha nor Omega. He came in between and will vanish on the way. Before he even conceives his evil plans for you, God has already planned victory for you. No matter how much he attacked and oppressed you, he cannot stay till the end. He can never succeed. He has to pack up and run! All your life problems are not with you from the beginning, and they won t stay until the end. The ultimate victory is Berachah Prophetic Voice - January 2017 13

yours! Beloved, in the first chapter of the Bible, you only see God and his awesome power and ability. In the second chapter, you see man and his Godgiven potential. Only in the third chapter, you see satan and his craftiness. See, your God and you are first, not your enemy! Cheer up! Come, explore and see who you are in Christ. This revelation will thoroughly transform you and give you tremendous breakthroughs in this new year. In Christ, you are everything Christ is. He is the Firstborn over all creation. You are the first and the crown of all creation. In Christ, you are the image of the invisible God. In Christ, all things in heaven, on earth, visible and invisible, even the demonic world, satan s thrones, his dominions, his principalities and powers are created for you. In Christ, all things consist in you. Jesus is your head. You are His Body. In Christ, He and you have preeminence in every walk of life (Col.1:1518). complete this year with God s glory and perfection. Day by day, your light shall shine brighter and brighter (Pr.4:18).
