    In Part 2 of this teaching, Prophet Hari Rao shows us what it means to walk in favour with people, where God aligns relationships, stirs hearts, and opens doors you didn't even knock on.In this life, we are called to walk in both favour with God and with man; because answers are often in the bosom of men. If you want to enjoy the fullness of God's favour, a part of it is locked up in human vessels. There's a grace that causes people to show up, speak up, and pour into your life without you asking. It's a dimension of grace where relationships are divinely arranged, hearts soften toward you, and help comes wrapped in human form.This kind of favour can't be earned or manipulated; it's God-ordained! We dive into the lives of Jesus, David, Elijah, and others who were surrounded by people who gave, served, and followed, sometimes at great cost. That's not a coincidence. That's divine favour at work.A man sent by God is an extension of God's favour over your life. There's a mantle of favour God is ready to release. Tune in, receive, and walk in favour with God and man.

    What if the only thing standing between you and your next dimension is what you've allowed through your gates?Some doors only open once in your lifetime. Whenever you're on the edge of possession, on the brink of taking over, the enemy doesn't just fight your future; he floods your gates. Every quantum leap begins with spiritual clarity. In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao reveals a divine blueprint for accessing what's rightfully yours by protecting the gates of your soul. Your senses are not just tools; they are gates. And behind each gate lies access to information, destiny, relationships, resources, and wealth. Your eyes, ears, heart, mouth, and relationships are spiritual gates. The enemy knows this, and every time you're positioned for possession, he wages war at these entry points, distorting what you see, twisting what you hear, and overwhelming what you feel.This is more than a sermon; it's a strategy! You'll learn how the enemy overwhelms your vision to make you sink, how words can rewire your reality, and why the heart is the true battlefield. If you're preparing to take over, this Word is for you. Tune in and receive fresh grace to guard your gates and conquer your Promised Land.

    Gates in scripture are profound, holding great authority and access. They are not just physical locations but spiritual and governmental hubs. In biblical times, city gates were more than entrances; they were the center of activity. Elders ruled from the gates, legal matters were settled there, business transactions occurred, and justice was executed. More significant than the palace, the gate determined what entered and exited, making it the seat of power.Gates are not just physical; they are spiritual and prophetic markers in seasons and destinies.Gates are:Geographical and spiritual locations.Boundaries of protection both physical and spiritual. Spiritual Pathways into dimensions of grace and power.Thresholds to new seasons and times.Points of entry and exit.Points of entry into economic freedom and wealth—financial liberty flows through open gates.People who allow you access to dimensions and grace.Governments, they function as seats of power.There is warfare over gates because they determine destiny. Join us as we uncover how to recognize, war for, and walk through the gates God has assigned to you!

    Keys To Shift Seasons

    Do you sometimes feel like you've overstayed or missed your season? Every vision has a timeline, and every mandate and assignment has a time capsule attached to it. Overstaying causes you to lose the momentum needed to accomplish the "God Projects" in your life.Signs that you have overstayed a season: Lack of Divine Demand for You: There is a lack of demand for you and what you bring. Don't run on the strength of your last season. Learn to recognize when you're losing momentum.Lack of Divine Provision: Your assignment lacks divine provision. An entire generation of Israelites was rejected from entering the Promised Land, yet they had supernatural provisions. Just because there's food on your table doesn't mean you're in God's appointed season. Provision is more than bread—it's divine help, time, and destiny helpers.Everything takes Effort: When you miss a season, everything seems like an attack; even issues that should be effortless become battles as you lack the ease provided by grace and resources when you're in season.It feels like God has stopped talking to you: Like God has abandoned you, but when you are in the 'now' season of the Lord, you are in the middle of a communication onslaught. How do we shift seasons? #1. PrayerPray yourself out of and into a season. Prayer reorients you to the things of the Spirit & timetable of heaven; it brings you back to divine relevance.#2. WordOur season shifts because a WORD from the Lord has visited us. Every word that comes from the Lord comes with the gift of time. #3. Sacrificial Seed The widow sowed her last meal instead of eating it. There is a seed that can shift your season!

    “One of the servants said to Saul, ‘One of Jesse's sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the Lord is with him.'”‭‭ 1 Samuel‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬ ‭You cannot be a warrior on the outside if you aren't first a warrior on the inside. This is the formula that sustains you in the presence of kings.A Man of Valor has nothing to do with fighting on the battlefield but everything to do with the battles within. It's about conquering the battlefield of the mind.The area you develop will bring you access. Manage the information that comes to youA Man of Valor carries courage and confidence, not easily moved by what he hears in the natural. If information can overwhelm you, you will lose the battle on the inside before losing it on the outside.  Manage your emotionsAre there boundaries to your emotions, or are you easily overwhelmed? Without a healthy emotional life, you won't have the capacity for sound decision-making. A Man of Valor is steadfast and dependable, with a soul like still waters, not a raging river. Develop inner strength. Manage your sensory inputWhat is the threshold of pressure your soul can handle? David could see a lion before him, yet his soul was not overwhelmed by what his senses perceived. Can you face pressure without intimidation? Be ruled by the peace of God. Remain calm even in chaos. A Man of Valor has mastered his inner life, building his capacity for pressure to navigate life without being overwhelmed. Develop internal governance. God is preparing a group to function as kings.

    Jesus is the greatest example of a king whose heart is not to exalt Himself but to lay down His love for others. Yet, Christ-like leadership is not devoid of self-respect and honor. Living a defeated life is not a Christlike life.What good would it be if David confronted Goliath on the battlefield, only to lay down his life instead of defeating him? A true Christ-like leader wins battles on behalf of those who cannot. We enter the battle to WIN!Becoming skilled is not contradictory to being anointed. Being called and anointed is not enough—without skill, you may never occupy the seat prepared for you. David was skilled in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and the LORD was with him (1 Samuel 16:18)What was the point of David learning an instrument? That which seemed skilled but unnecessary for his calling was the area that first got access to his calling.Function in the area of your development! God uses the area that you are skilled in. Availability alone is not enough for God to use you—you must become a well-developed vessel. If your revelation is mediocre, you function in mediocrity.The skill you are willing to develop is the skill that can be anointed. The anointing flows into every area you are willing to develop. Joseph's gift was interpreting dreams, but along the way, from his father's house to the palace, he developed into a skilled strategist who brought solutions.The gift of a man makes room for him, but the oil brings solutions to more than what he was invited for. You need both.You know you are developed when you find yourself in the company of kings.

    Overcoming Spiritual Death

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 25, 2025 46:59


    In this episode we learn the dangers of distance and how intimacy with Him is the key to overcoming temptation, restoring what's lost, and experiencing true life in His presence. Proximity doesn't equal intimacy. Judas sat at the table with Jesus; he was physically near Jesus but lacked true intimacy. This leads him to betray Jesus. The prodigal son had everything in his father's house, yet when he created distance, he lost the restraining presence of the father that kept him from sin. Similarly, Peter, who had pledged to die for Jesus, denied Him three times. We see this in the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve's distance from God's presence allowed the serpent's voice to take root. What changed in all these examples? Distance! Distance amplifies the temptations in your life. The strength of temptation you face is directly tied to how close you are to God. Distance leads to death, while intimacy with God brings life. When you walk closely with Him, you become temptation-proof. Even when faced with temptation, it doesn't have the same grip on you.   Sin dulls our ability to relate to God without the consciousness of sin. Though Adam and Eve didn't lose their awareness of God, they lost access to a certain dimension of His presence. You don't lose God's presence; you are cast out. Losing is accidental; casting out is intentional. Don't let the inferior part of you that needs to be crucified remain satisfied. But there is good news! The prodigal son, upon returning, was instantly restored—his brokenness healed, and everything he lost was returned.   When you return to God, you are restored. Proximity to Him brings life, and with restoration comes the return of everything you lost. Return to the Lord, to your first love.

    How Satan deceives believers

    Are you prepared to receive a word meant to protect you from the enemy's schemes? If so, stay tuned. Think about it—how can someone have Jesus as their master, teacher, and friend—travel with Him, witness His glory, and see the might of His calling? How could someone who experienced miracles firsthand, who walked alongside God in the flesh, betray Him? Judas was chosen from among millions for the privilege of journeying with the Messiah. He was a first-hand witness to His love and power. He saw His tenderness, warmth, and the depths of His heart beyond ministry. How do you sit at such a high table, share life with Jesus, and then turn against Him? If a man who walked so closely with Jesus fell to deception, it reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of such schemes. Let us be vigilant, for even the best can fall prey to the enemy's plans. The enemy operates at levels of deception so deep that people can turn against the very source sent to set them free. The enemy is an expert at distraction—if he can distract you, he can deceive you to fight the hand that has come to deliver you. >> Conversations lead to Covenants: Every demonic covenant begins with what seems like a harmless conversation. Judas ate at the Lord's table, basking in His grace and glory, receiving from His endless Spirit. He was one of the twelve who cast out demons, and he made room for Satan to enter him. How could he fellowship with those who sought to kill the One who gave him life? It wasn't him—it was the spirit within. He was sitting at the high table of Jesus, yet the fruit he was producing did not reflect the bread he was eating. Because the Lord's table wasn't the only table he ate at. There was a mixture in his life. Don't get comfortable eating from two tables. If you're at a table, understand that power structures exist. Ask yourself: Who is imparting the spirit? Are you the influencer, or the one being influenced? There is an impartation happening at all times; the lesser receives from the greater. At times, demons want you to underestimate them, to believe they are not a threat to you. Don't be deceived by Satan's endeavor to empower you. Samson didn't know that Delilah was on a mission to destroy him. She didn't come with a sword; she came with a song. He saw beauty, but he didn't see the danger. Don't find yourself in a place where you feel too comfortable and lower your guard. The primary target was never Judas or Peter—it was always Jesus. Satan simply used them as instruments. For Satan to tempt, sift, and pull you away, he cannot attack your identity in Christ. He must target who you were before Jesus saved you. That's why he came after Simon, not Peter. Satan cannot touch Peter—the part, born of an encounter with Christ. But the Simon inside? That's the part Satan is drawn to, asking to sift. Judas got permission, but Peter got prayer. Judas had already made a covenant and transacted with another. Simon Peter, though sometimes impulsive and even foolish, was fiercely loyal—all he knew was Jesus. To such a one, Jesus says, "I have prayed for you." (Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭32) ‬The prayer of Jesus can change and shift what the enemy has planned for you.    Judas traded Jesus for the price of a slave (‭‭Exodus‬ ‭21‬:‭32‬), disqualifying himself from Jesus' prayer. On the other hand, Jesus' intercession for Peter restored him. Peter carried great light, and some attacks on your life come because of what you're called to do. Great light entered him when he received this new revelation. Revelation births identity and identity reveals your assignment. Even though Jesus had prayed for Peter, why did he still fall into temptation? It was not about Peter surviving the temptation but the aftermath. Though he wept bitterly, he was not lost. There's a grace that covers and protects you, even when you fall. Prayer secures the destiny of those facing trials and temptations. May the Lord's blessing and hand cover you, making you deception-proof.

    How to transition to the Next Level

    In the Kingdom of God, we rise based on two aspects: >> The Word:  In our previous teaching, we learned that we rise on the strength of the light we possess. There must be a Word in our spirit, birthed from a divine visitation. The bread of God is what sustains us! >> The Presence of the Living God: We rise in life based on our capacity to host the presence of God. We must transform into individuals who have developed the capacity to host and overflow with the presence. It's not enough to be filled with information, knowledge, or understanding gained by human effort. We are called to carry His presence.   Melchizedek, the priest of the Lord, came bearing bread (Word) and wine (Spirit).  A priest of the Lord brings both these dimensions.  How many can truly say they are conduits of God's presence? There is a profound distinction in a vessel marked by the presence of the Lord. His presence is the most precious gift we can possess. Yet, how often do we fail to reflect the glory of this God who is with us? You are the temple of the living God; produce evidence that God is tabernacles within you! In Exodus, we read of Moses, the great deliverer who led millions out of slavery, encounters the Lord in the wilderness, and understands a profound truth: God's presence sets His people apart. We are made distinct by the measure of the presence that goes with us.  One can never fully comprehend God—He is limitless, inexhaustible, and beyond comprehension.  No matter how many host Him, there is always more to unveil. God decorates his people with his presence differently. The dimension of the presence you host is unique. What qualifies you for greatness is not merely skill; true greatness is in becoming someone whose voice carries the presence and glory of God.  When someone hosts the presence of God, it brings a fresh dimension to the Word, as though the Spirit behind the scripture comes to you.  A real friendship and walk with God causes Him to show up and attest to your words. God's presence becomes synonymous with yours. What sets you apart is your ability to host the living God. While we all receive the same Spirit, some have taken time to grow in Him, developing a greater capacity to reveal Him.  There is a divine mandate to feed the nations with Jesus and reveal the reality of His glory. In encountering you, people must taste Jesus—His undeniable glory and presence must mark your life. For most people, the invisible Holy Spirit becomes visible and tangible through you. You become the tangible altar that connects the realms of the earth and the Spirit, a conduit between the seen and unseen.   We are called to present the reality of His presence and power so that people will know, without a doubt, that God is among us. While you can create an environment, you cannot manipulate or fake God's presence. Hosting The Holy Spirit is the fruit of a life devoted to God, marked by a sincere love for Him. It requires discipline, time in prayer, and the Word.   There is no successful transition without God's presence. The Holy Spirit is the one who midwives your transition from one season to the next. You don't move in your strength; you must be carried by the Holy Spirit. He is the birth canal that carries you.  What you need isn't another prophecy, but a real relationship with the Holy Spirit to carry you into your next season. Your transition must be managed and maneuvered by God. Gabriel told Mary that the Holy Spirit would come upon her. The Holy Spirit is the covering that births new things; you cannot conceive or deliver outside Him. He is the author of new beginnings; there is no commissioning or sending without the Holy Spirit authoring it.  Your destiny isn't in your hands; you need the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the fullness of the Word, the Bread of Life. The nations hunger to experience His presence.  Are you willing to dedicate your life and embark on a journey to become a people marked by His presence—carrying His glory?

    Through the life of Abraham, discover the principles that prepare you for victory, stewardship, and access to higher dimensions of grace & fellowship. Entering the promised land does not mean the absence of opposition. A blessing worth having is a blessing worth fighting for. Every promise land has certain giants that you have been sent to uproot. Warfare is a sign of ownership. Learn to establish peace and dominion over every form of warfare in your promised land. Many lose their blessings because they fail to discern their opposition. Develop the tenacity of a warrior to protect the inheritance God has entrusted to you. What is given to you, must remain with you. Your ability to steward a blessing is what qualifies you for more. Soldiers are not forged in warfare; they are prepared in seasons of peace and deployed in battle. Growth and development happen in secret when there's no visible threat. Learn the art of growing and developing yourself in secret. Train to function as a nation, even when you are small. What have you accomplished during your season of peace? Abraham didn't just have servants; they were warriors & generals. What you do in your seasons of peace will determine what will happen in your seasons of demand. Abraham, along with his 318 men, decided to fight at night. Which means they were trained to fight in darkness; they could distinguish between allies and enemies. This mission was not just about rescuing Lot but delivering an overwhelming victory that would serve as a warning to his enemies. How you respond to battles will determine what will happen in the future. Abraham possessed a territorial advantage because he walked the length and breadth of the land. Have you studied your land? Do you understand what's needed to secure your breakthrough? In Gen. 14:18–19, we read of Melchizedek, a king and priest of God, meeting Abraham. While everyone else carried weapons, here was a man carrying bread & wine. Abraham recognized he was in the presence of greatness. Is it possible that you are qualified for a higher level of fellowship once you have mastered a level of warfare? Welcome to a new lineage, a higher dimension of friendship—a hybrid of kings and priests. There are dimensions of grace that many will never see because they have not overcome the giants in their current league. Melchizedek's arrival was an announcement, welcoming Abraham to the big league. Despite all the warfare, there was peace in Melchizedek's land, and he carried a word of blessing. Choose the one who can speak to the gold, rather than the one who has the gold. Abraham recognized his divine opportunity; he gave a tenth of his possessions to Melchizedek. By giving his tithe, he transitioned from a league of kings to the league of Melchizedek. He was now able to function at the level of his blessing. Something happens when a blessing comes from a Spirit greater than you. The blessing causes you to function not from where you are but from where the blessing has come. The blessing of Melchizedek qualifies you for certain visitations, privileged information, and encounters. Now, the Lord becomes Abraham's great reward. In Genesis 15:9, the Lord instructs Abraham to bring a specific offering. It is a privilege when God reveals exactly what He desires from you. When you are connected to the line of Melchizedek, your offerings are not random—they are precise and tailor-made by divine instruction. One encounter with Melchizedek qualified Abraham for revelations extending 400 years into the future. A single tithe into a source greater than himself unlocked encounters beyond his comprehension. In one moment, the destiny of three nations was revealed to him. When you encounter Melchizedek, his visitors become your visitors; his encounters are your encounters. Welcome to a higher dimension of fellowship. Receive grace to overcome every warfare and walk into life-changing encounters with the Holy Spirit.

    In the Promise Land, one of the greatest challenges you must overcome is the spirit of famine. Abraham, the right man in the right place, faithfully built altars and walked in obedience, yet he found himself in a season of grievous famine despite being in the Promised Land. He had left Ur, obeyed God's call, and diligently built altars of worship. Yet, in the very land God promised to give him, he encountered a lack that drove him to Egypt. Being in the Promised Land doesn't guarantee everything will go according to your plans. Many struggle to see how they can be in the very plan of God and still face lack and famine. The enemy will test your resolve in the famine. You must learn to overcome and master seasons of famine while in the Promise Land. The enemy will try to use lack to dislodge you from the plan of God, but do not abandon a permanent blessing over a temporary season. Every believer will be tested in the area of provision, especially in the Promise Land. You must learn to make the land yield for you. Turn deserts into gardens and extract outcomes in every atmosphere. Cause fruitfulness even in times of scarcity. Famine stops you from establishing yourself; instead of establishing cities, it forces you to live in tents. On the way to dominion you may encounter this season, learn to flog it. Abraham, facing famine in the Promise Land, chose to go to Egypt—a land that had become famine-proof. Egypt had developed itself by studying the land, understanding its cycles, and mastering the patterns of abundance and lack. They had enough historical records to master the seasons of abundance and lack. Your ability to master a season determines your ability to graduate to the next. Do you have an ecosystem in place to sustain you during a famine? Have you developed covenant relationships that can help you in seasons of lack? Famine worsens when you choose to suffer alone and in silence, which is why many people are defeated by these seasons because they lack both preparation and partnerships. Are you an island or a kingdom with covenant relationships? Build your reservoirs. Save in abundance so you can have supply in scarcity. Abraham journeyed to Egypt seeking bread, but the spirit of Egypt will give you bread but, in exchange, demand your destiny. The way it transacts is that it will take from you that which is valuable. Sarah was the one through whom the promised heir was to be born. Sarah was the womb that was to carry Abraham's future. Egypt demanded what was most valuable to Abraham Egypt is a place of exchange, where you don't just trade time but your destiny. Egypt demands that you trade your destiny in exchange for your provision. In a temporary famine, Egypt was trying to abduct a permanent future. It's a similar story to Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of soup. It matters how your provision comes. No provision comes without exchange. The one who provides for you will rule over you. Egypt is a spirit of slavery. It always finds a way of enslaving you. The price of Egypt is your destiny! What is happening in Abraham's life is a prophetic cycle that will rule his generation for 400 years. He went down to Egypt in search of bread, and generations after him repeated this pattern, ultimately leading to their enslavement. How you deal with famine will decide how your children will deal with famine. It was a famine that led people into slavery. Famine is the door that leads you to slavery. You don't have to trade destiny to receive bread. The God you serve is Jehovah Jireh! We must develop systems, strategies, and covenant relationships that sustain us in the Promised Land, even during famine. Learn to reproduce seasons of abundance amid lack. Learn to become an ecosystem sustained by the Lord. There is a grace to tap into divine supply. In 2025, may we rise above every famine. May the goodness of the Lord overtake us, and may we walk in His abundant provision.

    “And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.” Gen 13:2-6 When a man sent by God enters an environment, the ecosystem yields to him and begins to produce results. The location recognizes and responds to his divine mandate. There is a grace that enables a man to prosper anywhere because the hand of God rests upon him. It is impossible to carry the blessing of the Lord and not prosper. Though you are in this world, you are not of it. Just as Abraham and Lot were so blessed that the land could not contain them, the Lord can lead you into embarrassing levels of prosperity. Outwardly, Abraham's family appeared small, but the blessing upon him was that of a great nation. Everything he touched reflected the magnitude of his calling because God treated him not as an individual but as a nation. The Lord can cause you to produce results on the level of your calling!  Abraham spoke the language of a king, a patriarch, and a man who had heard and been blessed by the Lord. A man blessed by the Lord talks differently. Understand the language of divine ownership. It takes greatness to speak greatness into another.  From a distance, Sodom appeared desirable to Lot, but he failed to perceive the wickedness of its people and Lot chose to leave Abraham. Lot failed to understand that his safety was tied to his proximity to Abraham.  The greatest investment Lot could have made wasn't in the land he saw but in a man (Abraham)  favoured by the Lord. There is a problem when your level of discernment is limited to what you see. If your ability to see good and bad is limited to your sight, then it's a problem.  Lot's discernment was limited to his eyes. You do not make destiny decisions based on your sight. May your discernment be deeper than mere sight. “Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” The Lord instructed Abraham to walk the length and  breadth of the land, for He had given it to him. Lot's mistake was leaving before his training was complete. He thought the only principle required for ownership was that of sight.  He believed his time with Abraham was over, but Lot's early success became his danger. How can you possess a land you haven't fully studied?  You cannot have great wealth and not expect invasion at some point. The key to possession is to study and survey what the Lord has given you. Survey your promise.  While Lot rested, Abraham studied the promise given to him by the Lord. With just 300 men, Abraham went to war against five kingdoms. He wasn't merely raising shepherds; he was raising soldiers. He was functioning like a nation. Welcome to the systems of a nation! Having great wealth is one thing, but keeping it is another to protect the wealth that God gives you. Abraham didn't just see but he knew the people and the land that was given to him. Devise a system to protect what the Lord has given to you.  Don't be limited to what you see; learn to think multi-dimensionally. In 2025 study the dimensions of the promise given to you. Function like a king, a patriarch, a nation.

    Most of us believe Abraham was the first to leave Ur in response to God's call. However, Genesis 11:30 reveals that Terah was the original visionary, the one who began the journey to Caanan. Something stirred within him, compelling him to leave Ur behind. Although the journey wasn't easy, the joy of fulfilling a vision was far greater than all the hardships he would endure. However, in the place called Haran, tragedy struck—Terah's son Haran died. This loss broke the spirit of the visionary. The one meant to carry his legacy was gone, and with him, Terah's motivation to fulfill his calling. Terah, now broken in spirit, settled in Haran. *A man defeated on the inside cannot defeat things on the outside.* There is nothing more frustrating for a man to see the glimpse of how glorious his life can be but never but never walk into it. It was here that the Lord spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12:1, reminding him that he wasn't created to perish halfway. The calling comes to him because he was meant to finish the journey his father began. Child of God, you were not meant to give up half way or in mediocrity; you are called for something more greater and glorious. We are not a generation of just beginners but we are a generation who will finish what God has started in us. Do not abort God's will and assignment over your life. God doesn't consult your family's history before calling you—the Word qualifies you! With all your getting, get the Word! You don't become a great nation by being surrounded by people or wealth; you become a great nation at the arrival of the Word. The Word transforms, qualifies, and equips you. When the Word comes, everything required for the journey comes with it. “and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ Out of all the people God could have chosen, He picked a family full of disadvantages. Despite being surrounded by evidence of his limitations, Abraham refused to trust what he saw in the natural and chose to believe God's Word. Now God takes the greatest disadvantage and produces glory out of it. Only God can take your weakness and turn it into a strength. Can you believe God and follow Him as if what you're trusting Him for has already happened? Can you walk as though you are already in the Promised Land? Faith isn't an emotional decision; it's a deep conviction. Faith takes a lot of planning and deliberate, intentional choices. Terah took a break when he should have kept walking, while Abraham arrived in Canaan because he didn't repeat his father's mistake. In transition, don't take a break—rest can become a trap for the soul. Keep walking; we don't take a break from the will of God; we don't rest from the assignments of God. When called to greatness, the temptation is not failure but little success. For Joseph, Potiphar's house was a bigger trap than the prison. Small success is what destroys greatness. The key to transition: Do not take a break till you arrive! There is a reward for obedience. When God appeared to Abraham and promised him the land, Abraham's first response was to build an altar. In the midst of those who claimed the land, Abraham raised an altar of ownership. Abraham makes an invisible contract in the realms of the Spirit by raising an altar unto the Lord, he was marking the territory as his own. When God speaks, many believers don't know how to immortalize the promise. Seal the Word with an altar! In the realms of the Spirit, the word is established. God grants ownership by speaking the Word; you enter into that ownership by raising an altar and entering into covenant with the Lord. A stranger became an owner through a covenant. 2025 is the year of possession—exit transition and take possession of the Promised Land.

    Prosper your Soul

    “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”  3 John 1:2 KJV Prosper as your soul is prospering. Your soul is the epicenter of your life, and its well-being is paramount. As your soul prospers, it overflows into every area of your life. To fulfill God's plans, your soul must be in a healthy place. This year, take care of your soul—feed it the things of the Spirit so it may rise from poverty to prosperity. A soul that is not prospering cannot grasp the moods and movements of the Spirit or comprehend what God is doing. It takes a healthy soul to live in God's purpose and will and to steward the things He has entrusted to you. Remember, if a soul can progress, it can also regress. Guard your heart, for out of it flow the issues of life. When you walk with God and grow in the Spirit, this one decision—to care for your soul and feed your spirit—can change everything. The problem today is that outward growth often outpaces inward growth. Titles grow faster than spirituality. But the shifts you make in your soul are your real growth. Become an internal giant! 1. Make contact with the presence of the Lord:  This is the first order of the day! Each day, ensure you are aware of the living God's presence in your life. You have the extraordinary privilege of entering His presence, yet this superpower is often neglected.  Among all you can do in a day, what will have the greatest impact on your growth? What will contribute the most to your well-being? In God's presence, you are fuelled. He is your bread and sustenance! Develop a discipline of prayer. When you lack motivation, discipline will carry you. Pray until you become aware of His manifest presence. And when you reach that sacred place, linger a little longer for you've gone beyond the ritual of prayer and into the reality of His presence.  Has your soul captured God for the day? When it has, you're equipped to face every challenge and defeat every demon. 2. Make contact with the voice of God:  Jesus spent the night in prayer and during that time, He heard God for the next day. He knew the 12 disciples He had to pick because He had heard from God.  Start with rhythms of grace. As you spend time in the Word every day, the Holy Spirit graduates you from reading the Word to hearing the Word. 3. Make contact with the altar :  When you enter the presence of the Lord, bring something honourable, worthy of His presence - something that reflects your joy. Give out of principle. Your giving is a free will offering between you and God.   4. Learn to refuse your inferior desires:  Learn to say no to the things that enslave you and yes to the things of God—this is what allows your soul to grow. What you refuse to control will control you. Say no to the lesser callings and inferior desires of the soul, for these desires give the enemy an open door. May you be liberated from every habit that holds you down. Strength to overcome comes from making contact with the presence and voice of God. Build your capacity for the things of the Spirit. The promises received in the Spirit must be birthed in the Spirit. As you build your capacity, the Lord will bring His promises to life. In 2025, may your soul prosper in Christ!

    Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ 1. 2025 - The Year of Transition Transition is your way into God's will. This is a year of transition for many of God's children. God invited Abraham into His will and plan, and to walk in it, Abraham had to depart from his current location. It is the Year of Departure—prepare to leave what you are familiar with and embrace what the Lord has for you. When you consistently miss your window of transition, a temporary season can become a permanent habitation. Transition is designed to save you from death, irrelevance, and mediocrity. God allows transitions so you can leave a place of lack and enter into His abundance. As with Elijah, the ravens and the brook were to sustain him only for a season. God's providence had moved, requiring Elijah to leave the wilderness and go to Zarephath, where a widow was divinely appointed to provide for him, and he, in turn, was to be a blessing to her. Frustration is a sign that you have overstated your season. Exit every environment where there is no divine demand for you. Arise and move out, for the Lord has something greater for you. 2. 2025 is the year God makes you His Prophetic Vessel: This is the year to discover your design and thrive in your identity. Abraham likely came from a wealthy family, but God's call wasn't about giving him a better life; it was about making his life relevant. Transition is your way into God's will. This year, embrace God's blueprint for your life. May your life reflect God and take the form He has envisioned for you. 3. 2025 is the Year of Possession: Abraham had to leave his father's house and all he had known. God called Abraham alone, and only God can call a person alone and add to their life. It was God who called Abraham, made him rich, and established him. The only requirement for Abraham's success was having God on his side. Regardless of your biological DNA, there is a divine call and mandate over your life. What God is about to do in your life surpasses any nationality. When God brought Abraham to Canaan, the land was already occupied by kings, mansions, and armies. Yet God promised it to Abraham, revealing a new kind of ownership—a divine inheritance he hadn't understood before. 2025 is the Year of Divine Ownership, the Year of Possession, and the Year of Taking Over! Nations will become your inheritance. 4. 2025 is the YEAR of your RISING: As we read in Isaiah 60:1-5 - As the Lord's return draws near, gross darkness will cover the earth. Yet, in the midst of it, the glorious bride of Christ—the Church—will shine brightly. In 2025, may the light of the Lord locate you. May Gentiles be drawn to your light and kings to the brilliance of your rising. May the abundance of the sea be turned toward you, and the wealth of the nations come to you. This is your year to rise, shine, and walk in the glory of God's purpose for your life. Take over and command the year, beloved.

    Join us for Part 3 of the series, 'Developing the Priest Within You' with Prophet Hari Rao, where we explore the profound stewardship and teaching role of a priest. Discover how Samuel, an able steward, prophet, and judge, exemplified managing God-given resources with excellence while leading others in the ways of the Lord. Learn why stewardship in the natural qualifies you for the supernatural and how prioritising God's presence unlocks your destiny. A Priest is an excellent Steward: Samuel was an excellent steward of the territory God entrusted to him. As seen in 1 Samuel 7:16–17, each year he traveled to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah—establishing centers of power, teaching, preaching, and imparting the understanding of the Lord. He returned to Ramah, his home, where he continued to judge Israel and built an altar to the Lord. Just as God holds us accountable for what He entrusted to us, Samuel exemplified wise and diligent stewardship. Why does an almighty God, with an endless supply of resources, choose to manage them with such care? If He, who lacks nothing, values stewardship, how much more should we, who have limited resources, strive to steward them well? Jesus cursed the fig tree that bore no fruit, reminding us that every child of God must eventually outgrow the tendency of solely depending on miraculous provision. In doing so, we risk becoming poor managers of the resources God has entrusted to us. In the Old Testament, the people brought their sacrifices only once a year, but the priest had to offer sacrifices daily. He was required to manage his resources carefully to ensure the lamp remained burning every day—there was no miraculous provision of oil. Could it be that in areas where God calls us to stewardship, we are instead waiting for the supernatural? To develop the priest within you, you must grow into an excellent steward of your resources. Your ability to manage the natural is what qualifies you to manage the supernatural. A Priest is a Teacher of the Word:  Every child of God is called to function as a priest within the boundaries God has assigned to them, carrying the holy responsibility to nurture and instruct their household in the ways of the Lord. Families are the smallest yet most significant jurisdiction God has established. A place saturated with the Word becomes potent, leaving no room for the enemy to enter. The distortion of the Word allows the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy. 1 Samuel 8:3 speaks of Samuel's sons, who grew up not walking in the ways of the Lord. They bore the title of their father but failed to follow the ways of the father. If you learn the ways of the father, you will build what the father has built. Every child of God is a living letter, constantly demonstrating to the world whether they should follow the Lord. A priest watches, manages, and teaches! Most of us approach the presence of God driven by a need, but when you come to Him, He always has something far greater prepared for you. In His presence, you never leave with just what you sought after. You come as a man but return as a king. In 1 Samuel 9:20-21, Saul came searching for his lost donkeys but left with his destiny.  What he thought was a simple search led him to his anointing as king over a nation. In your pursuit of what's lost, if you shift your focus to seeking the presence of God, you will return with far more. God has a way of taking that which is lost and maneuvering you into His presence. You come seeking provision and leave stepping into purpose. In finding Jesus, you find everything.

    The ministry of a priest is a divine mandate. A priest lives in the spirit, not gratifying the desires of the flesh. They have gained mastery over that which enslaves a generation, walking in the authority and power that comes from a life dedicated to God. The function of a priest is to first birth the dimensions of God's calling within themselves. Join Prophet Hari Rao as he continues to teach us how we can become true priests who are living altars unto God. 1.⁠ ⁠A priest has to master his flesh: A priest has studied his covenant benefits and learned to crucify his flesh. When he steps before the people, he walks in the full strength of the Spirit. In the Old Testament, priests relied on the system Moses introduced to cleanse sin; there was a way to approach God and an exhaustive list they had to study. The priest studied the law and administered it in the prescribed way and by doing so, the priest remained in God's favor and managed the sin of an entire nation. Samuel functioned as a legal authority, enforcing principles and approaching God based on the covenant law. His life commanded great results because he was a great student of that covenant. If Samuel could tap into power under an inferior covenant, how much more power and glory should we walk in, being saved and covered by the precious blood of Jesus? Today, there is a famine of foundation among many believers. How can we enforce a reality we are unaware of if we haven't studied and understood the provisions available to us? Do you know your covenant benefits as a child of God? The priest must master life in the Spirit to subjugate the flesh and its desires. To have dominion over your flesh, you must learn to live by the Spirit.   2. A priest is an intercessor: His life is poured out as an offering. The ministry of the priest is the ministry of intercession. A true intercessor is not speaking on behalf of the people but co-labouring with God. People are the beneficiaries of your life. Intercessors are God's midwives responsible for birthing realities. If you want to grow in your priestly office, you must grow in the spirit of intercession. The ministry of the intercessor is the bridge that connects God and His people; a bridge between the divine and the natural; it captures the invisible and pushes it into the visible. The goal of an intercessor is to get the spiritual blueprint from God and birth it into reality.The ministry of intercession connects you to the end-time movement of God.    You cannot function in any of the fivefold ministries without taking on the mantle of an intercessor. An Intercessor is the Salt of the Earth! They become watchmen over regions People are beneficiaries of your life because you are not just meant to take people to God but to bring God to the people. Develop the priest with you and become a living altar for Christ!

    We welcome you to join us as Prophet Hari Rao teaches from the life of Samuel, showing us how to develop the priest within each of us - our highest calling and primary function in life Even after Moses and Joshua led the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, they frequently sinned and rebelled, which resulted in their captivity. In the Old Testament, we see that God established a system of sacrifices to cover their sins and raised judges and priests as deliverers to rescue them. Although God was their King, He chose to rule through His representatives—the priests and judges. While all sin is destructive, there is a particular kind of sin that leads people into captivity, giving the enemy dominion over their lives.  This is often the consequence of persistent rebellion and disobedience to God's ways. 1.⁠ ⁠When God is not honored in your life: Dishonoring God is a sin that leads to captivity and allows the enemy to take over your territory, causing you to lose dominion. However, as long as you are walking in His precepts, even if you stumble, God has made a provision for your recovery. 2.⁠ ⁠When you become the God of your life:  Where God is no longer the author of your life. You're a slave if you cannot walk away from that sin; it gains dominion over you, causing you to lose ground & become a principality in your life.  Learn not only to walk in victory but also to sustain it.  Dominion shouldn't be a place of visitation; it must become a habitation.   In 1 Sam 7, we read that, because of the presence of one man, God's hand was against an entire nation.  In the kingdom, God is not a respecter of people; he's a respecter of principles.  Samuel is a postcard; if you can glean from his life you can duplicate his results.  When the entire nation, including the priesthood, had lost its way, the little boy, Samuel, ministered unto the Lord. He understood that he was an offering unto the Lord and that he had a priestly obligation over his life. Prayer is not an option for a priest; it's a divine obligation. The primary function of the priest is a consistent prayer life. During the Mosaic law, the majority of what the priests did inside the Tabernacle was hidden. While the average Israelite brought offerings to the Lord about 3-5 times a year, the priest was required to minister in His presence daily, ensuring the lamp remained burning. But today believers have mastered the outward life that is on display but fall short in the hidden parts. True power flows from the secret place of intimacy with God. Samuel was a Levite from a priestly lineage, but he went from serving as a priest to walking in the office of a prophet and eventually ruled as a judge who anointed kings.  The priestly office is a birthing place. You can't develop the prophet in you if the priestly office in you is undeveloped. 4 areas you have to develop as a priest:  -Pray Daily -Worship Daily  -Sacrifice Daily -Make contact with the Word Daily Your primary function is to operate as a priest, where you commune with God. Your outside life is evidence of your inside life.

    Enemies of Faith

    Welcome back to our series on faith. Join us as Prophet Hari sheds light on the enemies of our faith and how we can manage them. The bridge to anything in this kingdom is faith. While those who are in the flesh cannot please God, faith is the quintessential property that pleases God. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).  Faith is essential to prayer, holiness, giving, and every spiritual endeavor. Just as eyes are necessary for walking in the natural, faith is the sight for walking in the spiritual (2 Corinthians 5:7). Man is an amphibious being with dual residency; he can dwell in the natural and function in the spiritual world. This is why Adam could have a conversation with God and also a serpent. Adam needed faith not while God was present—he needed faith when God left, after walking with him in the cool of the day. It was in the absence of God's immediacy that the serpent came to sow the seed of doubt. Sin in your soul corrupts and contaminates parts of you and you lose your capacity to interact with God. The enemy cannot  defeat you until it contaminates your faith.  By sight, Eve partook in death.She first gave it her sight and then her ears. Before the conversation with the serpent, the fruit, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, didn't have a hold on Eve's soul. But now it had her attention, her gaze; it is now her meditation. Do you believe in the  picture that God is giving you or what the enemy was promising of a so-called greater reality?  The righteous live by faith and not by sight. You fall by sight but rise by faith. The number one enemy of your faith is your unredeemed senses or carnality. What you hear or feel in the natural can be your greatest enemy in the life of faith.  Your natural sense roots you in your natural world, but faith is a declaration of war on what you see, hear, and feel in the natural. You cannot be led by what you see and hear. You need to have an internal compass that allows you to believe beyond what you see and hear. How do you manage these enemies? 1.⁠ ⁠Guard the gate of your eyes: You manage what you feed your eyes. Your eyes are the gateway to your soul. He who has your eyes has your soul. Your soul is informed by what you see. Choose what you will behold, what you will give your gaze to—retrain your soul. 2.⁠ ⁠Guard the gate of your ears: The quality of sound you hear is the quality of sound you will produce. We are more sensitive to sound than we are to sight: sound creates sight. 3.⁠ ⁠Renew your feelings: What you feel is the product of what you see, hear, and dwell on. Don't allow your unredeemed feelings to dictate your destiny; we lead our lives by faith and by conviction in the truth of God's word. We are not limited by our feelings; we are carried by the Spirit. Once you learn to master your natural senses and discern what is coming from your soul and what is coming from your spirit, you are no longer a slave to what you see, hear, or feel.  Now your senses are redeemed and used by God to empower you and become a prophetic instrument in the hands of the Holy Spirit. Because your body, soul, and spirit were all made for God.  Learn to discern, redeem, and be transformed.

He who knew no sin became the embodiment of sin, for us who knew no righteousness to become the righteousness of Christ. Righteousness is the very nature of God. When we come to Christ, we are not merely forgiven but transformed. By faith, you receive the life of God inside of you: By faith, you become the custodian of the very life of God. The Spirit of God is the very life of God, and the arrival of the Spirit is the arrival of God. This life is the source of many rivers, making you a walking, talking, mobile river of God.

Where you are not just a beneficiary of this life, within you flows the life of God, transforming you into a divine distribution center. By faith, you receive the Power of the Almighty God: By faith, you receive the power of the Almighty God to establish dominion and His kingdom on earth.

By faith, you have sight in the supernatural: Faith gives you eyes in the invisible. By faith, you receive divine communication, to be led, instructed, and access information from God.

From little to great faith, every believer must embark on a journey to grow in their trust and revelation of God. In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao shows us how to grow in great faith.   Varying Degrees of Faith: We all possess faith in varying degrees and capacities. Some possess common faith, while others operate in unusual faith. There is a direct connection between the degree of faith and the results you will produce in life. Faith can grow or diminish based on your walk with the Lord and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We must develop every area of our lives. Don't disqualify yourself when you find your faith lacking in one area; faith in one area can be developed and applied in another. Faith, when applied in every area, leads to a transformed life. We navigate life through faith. Faith is your internal compass that leads you to destiny.   Faith Requires Revelation: Faith is fuelled by revelation knowledge of God. Great faith is a product of you seeing and knowing how Great God is. Faith requires that you show up like everything is already done for you! You don't have great faith because you are great; you have great faith because you have a great revelation of this God, having beheld and believed Him in a dimension no one in your generation has. The reason we struggle in life is because we lack sight. Faith is sight in the invisible. Your relationship with God produces a correlating faith. Practical Applications of Faith: Faith as Sight: Faith is sight in the invisible, allowing you to see the invisible and believe the impossible. Faith as Currency: Faith writes the cheque for everything you need, unlocking God's provision Faith in Action: Faith requires showing up as if everything is already done, fully trusting in God's limitless power.

    Faith is the foundation and cornerstone of every believer's life. In this teaching , Prophet Hari Rao dives deep into the core of faith, revealing its deep significance and practical application in life. Our faith is anchored in the Word! It is always in the present; it cannot be stagnant or stale. Faith is here and now! Many think that faith is just belief; but it is a living entity. As Hebrews 11:1 declares, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. It's more than confidence in God—it's the tangible substance of promises already fulfilled in the Spirit. What is Faith? •⁠ ⁠Faith is the unshakable confidence in God, His nature, and His Word. •⁠ ⁠Faith is the guarantee of things promised to us in the Word.  •⁠ ⁠Faith is the conviction in your heart of the invisible reality. What Faith is Not: •⁠ ⁠Faith is not an assumption—God is only committed to what He has promised in His Word. •⁠ ⁠Faith is not blind belief—it is informed, meticulous, and rooted in understanding. Sources of Faith: 1.⁠ ⁠Hearing the Word: * A disciplined diet of God's Word reengineers your spirit to believe and to receive. * Faith allows you to comprehend and apprehend that which is yours. 2.⁠ ⁠Communion with the Holy Spirit: * Fellowship with the Holy Spirit personalizes the promises to you. * Faith is a product of communion with the Holy Spirit.  When you read the word, you understand covenant benefits but in fellowship with the Spirit, it becomes yours. 3.⁠ ⁠Fellowship with Saints: * Faith is a tangible asset that is transferable. Surround yourself with Faith Champions! Faith allows you to partner with God in creating realities, giving you eyes to see divine possibilities and empowering you to be a co-laborer with Christ. This is a call to anchor your life in faith and experience the extraordinary life God has designed for you. Tune in now and let your faith rise to new heights!

    Welcome to our ongoing series, "School of Power," where Prophet Hari Rao takes us on a transformative journey from logos—the written Word of God—to rhema, the revealed, living voice of God that brings the Word to life. Have you ever longed to move beyond reading about encounters with God to become a part of them? To translate your study of Scripture into tangible realities that shape your life and destiny? In this teaching, Prophet Hari Rao reveals the secrets that take you from revelation to reality, from secondhand reports to firsthand encounters. If you're hungry to grow in faith, authority, and the ability to carry God's voice to your world, this episode is for you.   In Luke 24, we read of two disciples whose fervent conversation about Jesus led to a life-changing encounter with the risen Lord. Among the countless voices, what was it about their conversation that caused Jesus to draw near? What could it be that moves the heart of God to join in?  For these disciples, their diligent meditation about Jesus brought the living Word into their midst.  There is something that you can do that triggers an encounter with the Lord. There is a holy obsession that grips your heart before the dimension is released you. What you dwell upon is drawn to you. By giving God your attention, you draw dimensions of God Himself toward you. This is how you go from second-hand reports to first-hand encounters. The Word of God is not quick to reveal itself to you; it requires diligent pursuit. Something can be given to you but you don't recognize it. There is a difference between receiving and having; you can receive it and still not possess it. What have you done to gather knowledge? To trigger an encounter? Jesus works with what you have and multiplies it. This is the law of the spirit: To him who has, more shall be added.  (Matthew 13:12) As the disciples broke bread with Jesus and their eyes were opened. There is a word that opens your eyes to the potential you have had within you but you have never tapped into it. In eating the bread, your eyes are opened.  Our God enjoys fellowship and communion. The goal is not just to receive the Rhema word but to enter into koinonia—intimate fellowship with Him. Beloved, learn how to trigger Heaven, move beyond limitations, and unlock the Rhema word that will transform your life.

    Welcome to a journey of transformation and revelation in the Word! We are excited to invite you to join us as Prophet Hari Rao leads us through a powerful series on the School of Power. This is not the journey of accumulating; it is the journey of becoming. Prepare your heart to unlock the keys to victory, breakthrough, and stepping into your God-given destiny. The Holy Spirit is God's power, but our understanding of Him comes through the Word. Without the Word, we lack the foundation to fully grasp His power or purpose. The Word is the source of God's power in our lives, yet many believers today lack a strong foundation. They may have testimonies, but they don't truly understand why they follow Jesus. Every believer must develop a personal “recipe” from the Word for every situation, testing every belief against Scripture.  Too often, we are captivated by the supernatural while neglecting foundational truths. This leads to a shaky walk with God, as our faith becomes rooted in external experiences. True transformation, however, is an internal work that unlocks dimensions of Christ. For this, we need structure—a solid foundation rooted in the Word. Jesus Himself responded to temptation with the Word, setting a precedent. Without a strong foundation in Scripture, it's impossible to discern the prophetic or recognize deception. The Word becomes the boundary for what is spoken or experienced, guiding us in truth and keeping us anchored. Doctrine is the core of what we believe, and every believer needs systematic discipleship to grow from spiritual infancy to maturity. A biblically shaped mind is essential, for it is not enough to be spiritual; you must be biblical. While the truth gives you wings, prayer is the wind beneath those wings. Together, the Word and Spirit empower your life. The journey of faith is not about accumulating but becoming.  Every believer must commit to a disciplined, daily walk with the Word, for you reflect the word you have been absorbing. The Word saves you from deception  The Word fuels your prayer life  The Word sharpens your discernment  Faith comes by the hearing of God's Word You defeat satan and the demons by the Word You overcome temptation by the Word  The Word carries you into your success Everything begins and ends with the Word. With all your getting, get the Word, for in it lies the power to shape your life, defeat the enemy, and carry you into all God has prepared for you.

In 1 Kings 10, we read of the Queen of Sheba traveling far with an entourage and great wealth to test Solomon's wisdom, for he possessed knowledge unlike anyone else. His wisdom attracted royalty and wealth—there is a direct connection between the wisdom you possess and the amount of wealth you can manage. Nothing was a mystery to Solomon—you are rewarded for the mysteries you solve in life and for the questions you can answer. When people come to you, what do they find? Study before making decisions, for your decisions will decide your destiny SPIRIT OF WISDOM : The Spirit of the Holy One.  Daniel 5 speaks of Daniel, who carried light, understanding, an excellent spirit, and wisdom like that of the gods. When Daniel answered, he answered as God would, and when he interpreted, he did so with divine insight. His solutions were not of men. God can send the Spirit of Wisdom (the Holy Spirit) to dwell within you, bringing light and understanding. With this divine wisdom, you begin to function differently, causing others to recognize that your wisdom is not of this world.  You know you possess the Spirit of Wisdom when you possess great light, operating from a higher dimension of understanding. The Spirit of Wisdom must be evident in you. MENTORSHIP: Mentorship Brings Wisdom Mentorship can save you decades, if not an entire lifetime. Having a mentor who is invested in your life is favor from the Lord. There is power in mentorship. The only reason Jacob had an advantage over Esau was because his mother cared for his destiny more than Esau's.  • A mentor gives you access to privileged, high-quality information.  • A mentor adds years to your life. A spirit-led mentor is the arrival of the favor of God on your life.  Mentorship is a guaranteed way to wisdom. Find your Destiny Promoter! In all your getting, get understanding. May this teaching help you walk in wisdom!

    Today is a day of great mysteries revealed by the Lord. Join Prophet Hari Rao as he unveils the importance and power of a name. As you listen, may these profound truths sink deep into your spirit. While what you hear with your ears might be forgotten, what you receive in your spirit will remain.Jacob, a deeply flawed man named "deceiver" at birth, lived up to his name by deceiving his own family. Despite this, God was not intimidated by Jacob's mess or afraid to associate with him. Like Jacob, we all have lived up to the names given to us, which have become part of our identity. Sometimes, life is a journey of undoing a name. God, however, is not deterred by our frailties. When you come to God, you come to someone who can turn your life around.Jacob deceived his father and brother, usurping the blessing of the firstborn and stealing Esau's birthright. We often equate blessings with material possessions, but Jacob understood the power of the words his father was about to speak over his brother. Truly spiritual people understand that everything proceeds a word. Words spoken by a spirit are always more valuable than substance.Jacob's encounter in Genesis 28 occurs at the same location where his grandfather, Abraham, also encountered God and raised an altar to honor Him. This location had transformed from a mere physical place into a spiritual portal; the altar activated the spiritual DNA of the man who worshiped there decades ago. This is how you secure future generations. Your consecrations, altars, and sacrifices can speak for generations long after you are gone. You shape the future through the covenants you make, the prayers you pray, and the altars you raise. A legacy is not just an institution you build but the life you live before God.In Jacob's dream, he didn't just see a ladder; he saw mysteries, truths, and dimensions tabernacled in the Lord Jesus. The ladder is not just a physical element; it signifies a hierarchy of truths and mysteries. The distance between heaven and earth is bridged by truth, which is Jesus Himself. Jacob is now encountering this mystery and truth, receiving understanding from God. Every mystery conceals a reality, and this ladder leads Jacob to the God of his father. He learned mysteries that could provoke an encounter. Understanding these truths grants access to hidden realities.Jacob made a covenant with God, vowing to serve Him if he could return to his father's house in peace. Now, sixteen years later, Jacob wrestled for this covenant as he returned. Jacob was a man carrying mysteries; he understood the power of covenants and how to create lasting memorials before God. It wasn't by chance; he engineered and prepared for these encounters. Often, we receive a divine encounter or word and move on, unsure of how to immortalize that moment with God. Each divine encounter should be made a memorial, sealed by raising an altar before God. This is how you seal an encounter and make it immortal before God.Jacob wrestled with a mysterious being for his blessing, who, despite being stronger, needed to be released by Jacob before sunrise because he sought to remain a mystery and not become public domain! This is why you need fathers who wrestle with hidden mysteries and truths to reveal them. The angel refuses to bless Jacob and instead asks for his name, knowing Jacob doesn't understand that he was already blessed and that what he truly lacked was an identity.Every person has the opportunity to bury their struggle with them. But Rachel, overcome by her pain and past, named her son Benoni, a son of sorrow, repeating the mistake made by Jacob's mother. However, Jacob, aware of patterns and the power of a name, intervenes and calls him Benjamin, meaning "son of my right hand," affirming a new identity devoid of past sorrows.What is your name? Because your identity unlocks your blessing.May God open your eyes to reveal your true identity in Him. Receive grace for a new name that will unlock your blessings. 

    Kings and Priests - 1

    God's eternal purpose was not just to change your destination but to transform your identity. When all the work on earth is done, your earthly titles will be suspended. The only everlasting identity is that you are a son within the Son. This truth should not just be intellectual knowledge but a personal revelation that resonates in your heart. Prophet Hari is taking us on a journey to discover and unearth our identity and ranking in Christ.   Every believer must renew their mind and transition from being sin-conscious to being Son-conscious. If God's sole intention was to take us to heaven, He would have created Adam in heaven and enjoyed His creation there. Child of God, there is something greater that God intends to accomplish.Revelation 1:5–6 boldly declares that we are kings and priests unto God. Adam was the first priest-king, setting the precedent. Melchizedek, Abraham, David, and Solomon also functioned in these two offices. Christ, the ultimate King and High Priest, enables us to enter this divine calling. We cannot become priests or kings by our own order, but only by being grafted into Jesus.Your function as a priest of God:1.  Point of intersection:In the Old Testament, a priest's primary role was to mediate between God and man. Priests had the privilege of exiting the camp of man and entering God's camp, touching the invisible and making it visible by God's calling. They were the intersection where two realms met; they knew what it was to be human and to meet God. Now, through Jesus, you have become the point of intersection—a mediator and intercessor for your family. Wherever you are, heaven can collide with earth; you are the outlet for God, and He flows in and through you. 2: Privilege to understand the mind of God:In the garden, the tree of 'knowledge and evil' symbolized instant knowledge—revelation without relationship. Information that is divorced from a relationship produces death. Moses didn't rely on his own ability and knowledge; he took the arduous journey up the mountain to inquire of the Lord. God desires to reveal Himself through fellowshipAs you grow in your priesthood, there is no language barrier; you understand your Father more deeply. As a priest unto God, you investigate the heart and mind of God. As a priest, you are required to stand before God, know Him, and have a revelation of Him that can only be birthed out of intimacy and fellowship. 3.  Preachers of the ways of the Lord:The priest has the function of getting to know God and out of the abundance of knowing your God, you feed your people.  As a priest, you are granted understanding and tasked with imparting this knowledge to God's people. Scripture says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge," so in bringing information, you are bringing life.Your function as a king:1. A king is an extension of God's rule over the earth:We are an extension of His love, mercy, and grace; we don't rule over people, but we are meant to rule, reign, and have power over every demonic structure and principality. 2. A king protects his boundaries:He knows his reach and manages his territory well. You are meant to take authority and govern within your sphere of influence. 3. A king manages his economy:He controls the flow and direction of resources. A king searches a matter out and generates wealth for his kingdom.You don't serve mammon but it serves you.Grace like that of Joseph and Daniel is being released today. May God grant you the grace of kingship in your finances, where you will function like the economy of an entire nationWelcome to Kingdom economies; may the priesthood and kingship anointing in you arise!

    Sonship - Our Divine Identity

    The message of salvation is often oversimplified, focusing solely on making it to heaven, leaving a gap in understanding the original purpose. Many believers are consumed by titles and a work-based mindset. But one day, when every need is met and every soul is saved, who are you without these titles of a prophet, teacher, priest, and so forth?It is tragic to be a mere spectator in the revival when we're called to be active participants. Join Prophet Hari Rao as he teaches us to strive for a deeper relationship with God, experiencing the peak of His transformative power in our lives.The God we serve is revealed to us through a Father-son relationship; that is His primary design from which everything else flows. Jesus wears the mantle of a healer, saviour, deliverer, provider, and more for us, but to the Heavenly Father, He is His Son. And in His mercy, God has granted us the privilege, through Jesus, to be called sons within the Son.In Matthew 11:11, Jesus states that John the Baptist, a great prophet and forerunner to Jesus, is surpassed by even the least in the Kingdom of God. This might seem paradoxical, given John's remarkable role.The least in the kingdom is greater than John because of:1.  The Blood of Jesus:Our greatest privilege is being cleansed by the blood of Jesus. John and all that preceded him were washed by the blood of animals that had no power to cleanse, forgive, or deliver. In the past, sacrifices of animals couldn't truly cleanse or forgive sins, serving as a prophetic glimpse of what was to come. Now, through Jesus, our sins are forgiven eternally, eliminating the need for yearly sacrifices. Those who had faith in the prophetic picture were saved by mercy. We have the real thing! Unlike animal sacrifices, the blood of Jesus eliminates our sinful nature; this is a profound difference. We are now part of a covenant that allows us access. The God who once instructed the Israelites to stay away from the mountain of God now invites us in the New Testament to approach the throne room boldly. The Heavenly Father relates to you based on His Son, not on your merit. Through the blood, He sees you as He sees Jesus.2.  The in-dwelling of the Spirit:We are the tabernacle of God; God indwells us. In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God came upon people for specific assignments. However, when you were washed by the blood, the barrier was broken, establishing a personal relationship with God.Jesus introduced a paradigm shift. While others were sent with various titles, only Jesus was sent as a Son. The Son is the vessel that carries God. You cannot carry the Father if you don't possess the revelation of ‘Sonship'. Elisha's request for a double portion could only be granted as a son; his acknowledging Elisha as  'My father' enabled him to inherit a double portion of the spirit.The goal of salvation is to instill the revelation of Sonship in your spirit, enabling you to call out "Abba Father." By washing you with the blood of His Son, God made you His child. Now, you walk into His presence and pray from the position of a son, with everything proceeding from this relationship.The church is built on the revelation that Christ is the living foundation. When you pray, approach God as a son with revelation in your heart, not just knowledge in your mind. When you function in Sonship you enter God's family communication, the family business. God intends to withhold nothing from you; He sacrificed His Son, making you a son within the Son, and thus a co-heir.Child of God, you are God's family and His residence! May this truth liberate you and allow you to function as an extension of the Lord.

    The Power Divine of Sonship.

    In today's teaching, Prophet Hari Rao is delving into a fundamental doctrine and bringing us a biblical, balanced, and heavenly perspective of the powerful truth of sonship. The truth is powerful when applied appropriately, but when exaggerated, it can become dangerous. While it is meant to bring freedom, it turns burdensome when there is a lack of balance or a lack of capacity to handle it. Balance is power. Without it, you will have a distorted view of God, yourself, and the world. The enemy will do everything possible to twist the truth. If you believe you must earn God's love, everything you do will be an attempt to earn it, even though it is given freely. Holiness is a fruit that you bear; it cannot be achieved; it is the outward manifestation of an inward reality. When you host a holy God, you produce a holy life. Our principles and practices must bear scriptural evidence. While someone may have powerful and life-changing spiritual experiences, these cannot be turned into doctrines. The Word is our boundary! We don't base doctrines on experiences; our doctrine is subject to the Word of God, which is unchanging. God leads people based on a heavenly reality. Moses was instructed to model the earthly tabernacle after the heavenly temple, which was a reflection of a heavenly model. Therefore, every doctrine or truth we believe must mirror a heavenly reality. It is a truth because it points to a heavenly precedent, reflecting how God has fashioned things. There is a truth and explosive power behind the doctrine of 'sonship''; it mimics a heavenly reality. Spiritual sonship is a domestic application of a divine, pre-existing truth. We cannot fully grasp spiritual sonship without understanding divine sonship. “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.” (Romans 8:29) Many come to God for various reasons, such as healing, restoration, and breakthroughs. They seek what God can do for them and often turn away after receiving help, being healed but not saved. But this is not God's design; the ultimate goal has always been to have a loving relationship with the Father. The purpose of salvation is to know Him. God desires us to know Him as our Father. The eternal identity of Jesus is that of a Son, and when you are saved, you become a son or daughter within the Son. This truth is the cornerstone of our beliefs. Sonship is a privileged position; all other identities are transient, but your identity as a son is eternal and cannot be taken from you. Sonship cannot be earned; it is given to you. The primary message of salvation is not about an eternal destination but about an eternal relationship. You go from being an orphan to a son; this transformation is primarily in the relationship, which then changes the destination. Sonship is eternal! As we read in Romans 8:15, the Spirit of God came and transformed our relationship with God into an intimate one, where we get to call Him the ‘Abba Father'. The cornerstone of our faith is that we are restored to a relationship with God and everything else flows out of that. Divine Sonship is the solution to all your problems. If sonship is not your identity, then you're striving to obtain one, relying on your works. However, as a son, you don't have to work to get an identity; you function from a place of identity. Nothing can change this relationship, which is sealed by the blood of Christ. You are not merely a son, but God's legal inheritor. An heir inherits all that belongs to the Father, and in Christ Jesus, you inherit a kingdom that will never pass away. We have a poverty of thoughts because we don't know Sonship; for in Sonship, nothing is out of reach! Child of God, do you recognize your identity and the inheritance from your Heavenly Father?

    About a million Israelites left Egypt to acquire the promised land but only two were ready for dominion. It wasn't because God was not on their side, instead it was because their mind was not renewed. Today, Prophet Hari helps us to renew our mind and uproot every limitation that is binding God's people in perpetual defeat.   In the book of Genesis, we read God created man out of two important raw materials. One is the dust of the ground and the other is the breath of the Living God. Adam was one part earth, one part divine. He was formed from the lifeless dust and from the eternal living God.   The Scripture says that the coming together of these two created a living soul. We were created to function in two realms, you carry dual citizenship; on earth and in the heavenly.   Child of God, you are a creation of choice, possessing the power of free-will. Our God doesn't create puppets, everything that worships God was created with freedom of choice.    As special creations of God, we were created with: 1.    A capacity to carry God: Man was created as one that can interact with God and be able to host Him.  The possessed man responded that he was a legion, 5000 demonic spirits could live in one man. If your capacity for sin is great then it is because your capacity for holiness is great.    2.    A capacity to duplicate God God created you to function like Him. Your heart was designed to understand God's heart.  The Scripture confirms that man was formed in God's image and was given the mandate to be fruitful, to multiply and to have dominion on the earth. But we don't read of God telling them how to fulfil the mandate, it was because the strategy was already in them.   The living soul that man became was a creative soul. One must learn to use what is given to them. The creative capacity in a person stays dormant when they don't tap into the God DNA within them.   If your mind is not reshaped into the mind of God, it will continue to function like the undelivered mind even after being delivered. Failure to renew your mind will become a stumbling block to sustaining your deliverance.    When you enter certain seasons of your life, without your knowledge a new template is released and carried through your bloodline. Eventually you begin to conform to these genetically inherited mindsets. The good news is that your mind is malleable and can be reshaped, therefore work on renewing your mind.

    Change begins on the inside. Real transformation begins from within and radiates outward. Too often, adjustments on the outside are hastily chosen for their perceived simplicity. However, inner change proves to be far more challenging yet rewarding. Join Prophet Hari Rao today as he brings wisdom and understanding that will change your trajectory.God, being all-knowing, comprehends everything yet Proverbs 25:2 states that God's glory lies in concealing things, while the glory of kings is in searching them out. This verse reveals how God operates, emphasizing that pursuing matters hidden by God brings glory. What is not hidden requires no effort from the seeker; to walk with God involves embracing His preference for concealing matters, requiring a dedicated pursuit and spirit to unlock mysteries. By unlocking these, one also unveils the glory hidden in these mysteries.The glory and greatness of kings manifest in their eagerness to thoroughly explore a matter to the point where mysteries cease to be mysterious. God rewards intentional seekers in their pursuit of understanding.One may ask, how do we discern whether something is concealed or non-existent at all? Can one perceive the presence of a thing before actually detecting the thing itself?Consider God's plan and purpose for us; while it's acknowledged, discovering that purpose demands diligence from believers. God's purpose is free but not cheap, and it doesn't unfold automatically. Just because God intends something doesn't guarantee its automatic occurrence.Upon receiving a prophecy, your lifestyle must become a nesting place and an incubator for the fulfillment of the prophecy. If a thought is conceived in the mind of God, realizing it requires His presence. When you receive a word, what you do with it after you have received it is as important as the word itself. Therefore, embark on a journey of active participation with God to avoid aborting His plans.We must learn the art of searching a matter out. The pursuit and discovery of a matter brings glory to a king, and unlocking a mystery not only unveils the glory and brings it into your possession but also makes it available to others on a similar journey. Hannah serves as a blueprint for any woman yearning to birth her Samuel, providing a template for seeking God. Daniel's life offers a blueprint for ruling in a heathen world and succeeding in royal courts. Joseph's story becomes a blueprint for financial wisdom and bringing economic deliverance to a nation facing famine. Solving mysteries that baffle others becomes your reward. May this teaching enrich your spirit with the excellence to solve mysteries and change the trajectory of your life.

    Becoming a Preferred Vessel

    The Book of Daniel reveals that Daniel enjoyed a distinct preference over the nation's presidents and princes. Daniel was preferred because of the exceptional quality and nature of the Spirit within him. Today, Prophet Hari is introducing us to a lifestyle that can transform us into preferred vessels.King Darius recognized the need to raise princes and presidents under his authority to ensure the efficient governance of the nation's provinces. As a result, he elevated Daniel to a position above them. Daniel's role went beyond being a prophet to the nation; he was elevated to the position of president and ruler. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Daniel spent years diligently cultivating his own spirit. As a result of this transformation, his spirit achieved a level of excellence worthy of recognition.Daniel's greatness wasn't merely a result of divine grace or a bestowed gift. Observing Daniel's life reveals that, at an early age, he vowed to abstain from defiling himself. His exceptional journey commenced from the time he made this decision, setting him on a trajectory toward greatness. Dear child of God, Daniel serves as a model we should all strive to emulate, for within him resided an excellent spirit.Excellence can often be practiced situationally, but Daniel's distinction lies in possessing an inherent excellent spirit. Unlike managing excellence, Daniel became excellence itself, developing his spirit to the point where operating at a high level was instinctive. Daniel's preference among others stemmed from the fact that he possessed an excellent spirit—a level of excellence that transcended mere visual assessments. It became evident that whenever chaos arose, Daniel consistently managed it with unparalleled excellence.There are individuals who have become such perfected spirits that when you arrive in their presence, you behold excellence.  Every word spoken by Jesus emanated life, as He is life.Striving to move beyond the perception of an excellent spirit to actually becoming one is crucial. In God, there exists the power for transformation; it is His desire that you not remain as the prodigal son but that you be transformed into the rightful inheritor of His promises.The pitfalls to avoid in your quest :-  Ensure that your conduct is not driven by fear.- Strive for excellence not solely due to passion, but because it aligns with your inherent functioning. For Daniel, it wasn't a matter of preference; it was an integral part of his identity.- Don't let your quest for excellence make you legalistic. Legalism kills intimacy.Growth is effortless but it requires intentionality. In an ideal environment, a seed thrives and grows, as growth is a result of being planted in the right environment.As the body of Christ, resolve in your heart to intentionally grow in grace each day until you evolve into a glorious and preferred vessel. Yield to the spirit of God and begin to function in the spirit of excellence.

    Managing your Soul

    Today's teaching will equip us with insight and keys on how we can manage our soul well. In order to have dominion over our entire being, we must learn to manage our soul effectively. Our body is designed to function in the visible realm through the senses. Although the body is capable of making choices, it is the soul that steers the body, influencing its actions and decisions, essentially making the body an extension of your soul and mind.When you engage in the act of sinning, your soul and mind have contemplated it multiple times before your body acts on it. Your body merely follows the lead of your soul. This mental processing happens swiftly, and we rarely fully grasp its complexity. A poorly managed soul lacks prioritization and is perpetually short on time. Conversely, a well-managed, developed soul can effectively accomplish tasks because this war is managed, as there is a silence and stillness to your soul.It is your spirit that rules over your soul. Your soul is a super conductor to your spirit, it is tuned to detect even subtle shifts within it. However, your soul accumulates an excess of information, making it challenging when the spirit communicates. It's not just about hearing God's voice, but how you interpret the information. Accurate interpretation hinges on effective soul management. While God speaks in the language of spirit, your soul uses human languages, so when God's spirit communicates, it passes through the language your soul can comprehend. A well-managed and renewed soul is receptive to direct communication with the spirit, much like how God spoke to Moses face to face. Your soul was designed to have fellowship with the spirit. The more your soul yields to the spirit, the greater dominion it has over the flesh and the more efficiently it can lead your body.   Your soul encompasses all your creative abilities, decision-making skills, and the capacity to process and interpret information. It relies on imagination and cognitive power to comprehend the greatness of the Spirit that's communicating with you. Your soul has the assignment to decode the divine in partnership with the Spirit. While God dwells in your spirit, the soul serves as the point of contact. How you manage your soul reflects how you manage your life. What you permit in your physical surroundings mirrors what you've allowed into your soul. If you're at ease with chaos around you, it's likely because you've grown accustomed to managing chaos within your soul.The world encourages you to acknowledge and adapt to your circumstances. God, on the other hand, desires to reveal His Spirit to your soul. When your soul aligns with His superior Spirit, it acquires the qualities of that higher spirit, making what was once difficult now effortless through this supernatural grace. God's plan is not just to provide a coping mechanism for you but to transform your soul to resemble His. Keys to manage your soul better : 1. Manage your environment:  Your soul relies on your physical body to influence the natural world. Take charge of your surroundings by using your body intentionally. If you lack dominion in a particular environment, remove yourself from it. Ensure your environment reflects a prophetic vision of the future, let it resemble heaven on earth.2. Manage your conversations:  Exercise wisdom and intentionality in your conversations, as words possess the ability to shape your soul. Your soul reflects the words you both speak and hear. 3. Soul submission: Consider who holds authority over your soul, for the one you submit to, shapes your soul. Your soul is molded by the voice it adheres to, so choose that voice wisely through prayer. In Christ, you can be both unique and united with others.4. Feeding your soul: Your soul is a reflection of how you are consuming the Word of God. The word of God is a primary way to manage your soul, it is shaped depending on how you consume, retain and interpret the Word.

    The book of 1 Thessalonians and Hebrews gives us an insight about how God created us, and that we are a triune being consisting of the body, soul and the spirit.    Our body, soul and spirit were each created with a unique design and to fulfil different purposes. Each of them distinct, yet combined to function as one being.   The body is the physical host to the soul and the spirit; entities that cannot exist outside the body. The body is the legal entity for them to operate in the earthly realm.   The soul is the seat of your mind, emotions, the invisible being. It has its own systems and is the carrier of your conscious and the unconscious mind. Every decision you make, is made in your soul. The way your spirit reaches your body is through your soul. The soul is your personality.    The spirit is the part of you that was designed to host God, granting access to the Spirit realm and the life of God. It is the spirit that becomes one with God. Everything that God achieves in you, initiates in the spirit and flows into your soul and body. The spirit has senses and everything pertaining to God is birthed in the spirit.   All these three entities are intelligent and unique systems by themselves, yet with all their complexities, designed to function in the same world. In the original design, each member of the triune being was meant to last forever. But when Adam sinned, there were repercussions and sin introduced abnormality and dysfunction.   The Body became vulnerable; decay, degradation and death was introduced. In the soul, a war was initiated and there arose an unending battle between the inferior fallen self and the superior image of God. At sin, the spirit lost access to the presence and mind of God shutting all of information. Hence, inspiration had to come from the outside to the inside, as it was no longer being formed within.   With every passing generation, the soul lacked resistance and they fell further from the grace and glory of God.   Child of God, you were created by God, for God. Every part of you was given so it can experience God. Your mind was created in such a powerful manner because its primary function was to host and fellowship with the Almighty God! The spirit that is infinite, can probe the Spirit of the infinite God. After the fall, when people lost access to the Spirit of God, their soul-which had an appetite for many desires and needs. Thus, Jesus had to come in a physical body, with a soul and spirit, to rescue mankind.    It matters which parts of you were born again at salvation. In the physical body, nothing seems different from the outside. In the soul, there is a fire ignited, which burns for a while, but at the first sight of temptation an internal war begins. So it's the spirit that is truly born again and renewed.   At salvation, the whole package gets deposited into your spirit. So now you must work out what is inside and allow the body and soul to be reconditioned. This is what it means in the scripture where apostle Paul talks about “working out your salvation”.   The body needs to be offered as a living sacrifice and the mind should be renewed with the help of the Spirit. Our soul is malleable and a renewed spirit will provide divine assistance. Renew yourself every day, until your body, soul and spirit are transformed like that of God!
