TODAY’S DEVOTION (THURSDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2026)
“Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.”
“Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.”
Isaiah 5:13-14 KJV
WELCOME TO THE 43RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD for all He has done for us these 43 days. He has kept our hearts beating, our minds functioning, our blood flowing, our spirits alive, and our lives far from death and destruction. Glory to His Holy Name!!
We are in end times, and a lot is happening both in Heaven and hell. Both realms are aggressively marshaling their forces towards the souls of men, through those who are submissive to each realm.
Men and systems that are submissive to the devil are being used by the forces of hell to kill, to steal and to destroy. While men and systems that are submissive to the God of Heaven and Earth are dying the necessary deaths to seek and to save that which was lost. Their spirits are crying like Paul the apostle cried, saying:
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed — always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you.
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 NKJV
This scripture contains the heart Cry of people God through His Heavenly force on earth, the Holy Spirit, is using to seek and to save that which was lost. One of the major deaths that these precious Sons of God are dying is in the area of their economy. They are dying the death that is required to allow God’s power to break through them and plug them to His supernatural supply chain.
THE VISION IS TO USE THE ENTIRE ECONOMIC RESOURCES GOD PLACES IN THEIR HANDS TO SNATCH AS MANY SOULS AS POSSIBLE FROM HELL.
The devil is also fighting to make sure that his earthly troop has all the economic might they need to do his work also. There are even battles in the heavenlies preventing economic might from coming to those who are submissive to God. That is why I want to talk to those of us who have made up our minds to die every necessary economic death to finance God’s end time redemption plans for mankind!
Friend, we live in a season where money will never come to you in God’s way until heavenly portals are opened over your life. When portals open over our lives, God’s glory penetrates into our realm to supply our needs according to His riches in glory.
We must therefore seek to live under the portals of Heaven for our economic freedom or fatness, and it is a very simple thing to do!
Unplug your soul or keep your hearts away from the spirit of hell and plug on to the glory of God that is what to do. If we all do that, we will begin to live a life that is not just under a Heavenly portal, but a life that opens Heavenly portals over earth.
Due to the fall of man, everyone is born with a soul that is more receptive to hell than Heaven. In other words, the fall of man plugged all minds to the hell realm. You find this explained in the book of Romans 5 and 6.
However, one may say, “i am born again, my soul is not plugged to hell.” Well, that is true, but half of the truth. Understand that our human spirits are unplugged from hell at once through genuine salvation experience, but our souls are not, that is why we still fall into sin even after accepting Christ. It takes personal efforts empowered by the grace of God to unplug the soul from hell daily.
THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE ADMONISHED US TO WORK OUT OUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING.
It is through such intentional and dedicated daily salvation workouts that we extend what has taken place in the human spirit to our soul through grace, thereby unplugging or keeping it far from hell the spirit and its influences over the souls of lost men. One of such grace is the grace of meditating in God’s word day and night.
To meditate in God’s word is to mutter God’s word to yourself. Prosperity is tied to meditation in God’s word. You find this in Joshua 1:8. People who keep their souls away from the influences of hell through meditation in God’s word on daily bases will suddenly plug onto the glory of God where their prosperity lies and change their economic lives. The psalmist explains it this way:
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”
Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV
The first way to unplug or keep your soul from the influence of hell and plug it or bring it under the power of God’s glory is to personally work out your salvation on daily bases in the light of this scripture. The second way lies in what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18. He said “On this rock I will build my Church, the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”
If you read between the lines of this declaration, you will understand that we are in a constant battle against the gates or spirit of hell. Don’t forget the dichotomy of hell; first, hell is a place, hell is also a spirit. And hell can be a situation or a person.
THE BIBLE SAYS THE WICKED WILL BE TURNED INTO HELL AND ALL THE NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD. SO, HELL CAN EVEN BE A NATION!
Our devotional text made it clear that lack of the experiential knowledge of God is the reason people are plugged unto the spirit of hell, which in turn take them to the place called hell. Experiential knowledge of God comes through personal time with God’s word and sitting under apostolic and prophetic ministries with the knowledge of God’s glory and the revelation of Jesus Christ on their lips.
Apostolic and prophetic ministries hold the rock of revelation for building the saints into temples for God in the Spirit. They are the building tools of Jesus Christ in the Church today. That is why you see the Evangelist giving way to Apostles in Acts 8 after getting the people saved! But today we no longer see that because of greed for gain and lack of knowledge among the clergy.
Sadly, all want to be called pastors with people under them just for the purpose of tithes. Even people who cannot build their own lives now have congregations under them calling themselves pastors and taking on other titles to satisfy their egos. They leave Heaven screaming “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they are prophesying” (Jeremiah 23:21).
They are the devil’s material for building the false Church. Friend, exposing yourself to deep teachings that centers on the revelation of Jesus Christ and the knowledge of His glory, instead of motivational talk, old wives’ fables, human philosophy, or secular humanism is the second way to unplug from hell and plug on to glory!
The church is facing an Ichabod situation today. The true word of the LORD has become very rare. People now eat dead spiritual things and stolen revelation calling them “powerful” because they do not even know what living truths sound like. Most of what we call church is full of self-help gospels and inspirational preaching that is not helpful in the battle against hell.
THAT IS WHY YOU FIND PEOPLE FULL OF JOY WHILE IN CHURCH BUT FULL OF DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN THEY GET HOME TO FACE REALITY.
The serious-minded go home with no voice of truth in their spirits (from church) to help them deal with the enemy at home. Others have been promised liberty for ages, yet they are still in captivity. Being Jubilant in Church and sad at home is a sign of descending into hell according to our devotional text. It says, “he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.”
You must save yourself from this Satanic onslaught by leaving churches with no voice and Spirit of truth from the LORD.
Understand that no man-made gospel will unplug your soul from hell the spirit, because man-made gospel and the stealing of other people’s messages to preach in order to look good or sound as if you are called of God as practiced by majority of preachers today, is inspired by the spirit of hell.
In fact, hell is the power behind all half-truths being peddled in Church, and all inspirational preaching that make you happy in Church but cannot help you when you face reality! So there is no way you can be unplugged from hell listening to teachings and preaching inspired by hell.
As you pass through this day, make fresh plans on your spiritual diet for the rest of your life (if you have not).
I have said repeatedly that what you eat will eventually eat you. What your spirit is feeding on will eventually feed on you. If you feed your spirit with messages preached from stolen waters, you will never come into the prosperity of the righteous. The Bible says stolen waters are sweet, but they will not produce a sweet life at the end. Specifically, it says.
“Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.”
Proverbs 9:17-18 KJV
Do you know how many souls are submitted to the spirit of hell by preachers who preach stolen waters (inspirational but not transformational messages)? You may need to change the Church you attend, the preacher you drink from, and the books you read. If you remain under the grip of hell the spirit, you will be living outside the glory environment where your wealth is stored!
MAY THE LORD OPEN YOUR HEART TO THESE TRUTHS IN JESUS PRECIOUS NAME. AMEN!!!
“And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
“Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the Lord, “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.
Jeremiah 3:15-16 NKJV
