Build with Hari Rao

There is a cost to the next season. In this teaching, Prophet Hari Rao lays out three non-negotiable objectives of the Christian life and what it costs to step into a new season. Transformation is not accidental. It begins on the inside, moves through the mind, and demands a version of you that the old season never produced. The new season demands a new you. The next season has a price. Are you willing to pay it?

There is an elevator in life and it is called the presence of God. There is a direct reason for a prosperous life and it is the active presence of God with a person. In Part 2 of The Blessing of the Lord, Prophet Hari Rao takes us deeper into the life of Joseph to show us how God elevates a man. Through His Presence, His Principles, and His People. This teaching will shift the way you understand success, favor, and the divine relationships God has placed in your life. Listen and be blessed.

The blessing of the Lord is not one-dimensional; it is 360 degrees. It overrides every condition and empowers a believer to flourish in every area of life.In this episode, Prophet Hari Rao unpacks the true blessing of the Lord through four clear signs: fruitfulness, multiplication, expansion, and dominion. A blessed life is not passive; it is productive, dynamic, and full of expression. It brings your God-given design to life, causing every gift and capacity within you to manifest.This is your invitation to step into a life that is not limited but overflowing, where what God has placed within you finds full expression.

Everything in your life is voice-activated. From the results you see to the limitations you feel, you are living in a reality shaped and sustained by an invisible economy of words. In this cornerstone teaching, Prophet Hari Rao reveals that the rarest commodity on earth is a Word from God in your spirit.Stop fighting without knowledge and start enforcing the "Better Word" that has already been spoken over you. This episode is a roadmap for reframing your life, moving you into a place where your worship and giving ascend as a memorial before the throne of God.Listen now and let the Voice of the Lord reshape your reality today.

Title : The Ministry of the Holy SpiritYou were created for fellowship with God, designed to carry His Spirit and live beyond limitation.In God’s Kingdom, success is not measured by numbers, but by faithfulness. Your deliverance carries generational impact, but destiny requires surrender. The Holy Spirit is the One who births every promise into reality.In this episode, Prophet Hari Rao unveils the journey from deliverance to destiny, calling us to remain under the ministry of the Spirit. To stay in His presence and become the version of you that can carry the promise.

Faith isn't positive thinking. It's not denying reality. Prophet Hari breaks down the true nature of faith in this compelling teaching; a childlike, unwavering confidence in God’s goodness and His Word, even when you can’t see the evidence yet. He reveals why a healthy believer doesn't lack faith and what's actually missing when you find yourself struggling to believe God in certain areas of your life.Faith is internal evidence. This teaching is about to rewire how you see, how you pray, and how you walk with God daily. If you've ever struggled with fear hijacking your thoughts or logic drowning out God's voice, this message will shift something in you.Listen and be transformed by the Word.

Stuck. Surrounded. Out of options.That's exactly where Israel stood in Exodus 14, trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's advancing army.We often stay on the shore because the math doesn't add up, but Prophet Hari reminds us that 'miracles start where logic ends’.In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao exposes why we so easily forget God's deliverance and why your confession might be working against God's purpose for your life. It's a mirror for every believer facing impossible circumstances today.If you've been crying out to God wondering why the door won't open, this teaching will shift your perspective. Tap to listen.

What happens when people bring real questions to a man of God who carries both wisdom and the Word? In this live Q&A session, Prophet Hari Rao tackles some of the most pressing questions on the hearts of believers today. From how to accelerate in purpose without losing balance to why emotions can feel so overwhelming even for people who love God to the deeper roots of what quietly keeps people stuck. This conversation covers ground that most people need but rarely find in one place. Whether you came for direction in your purpose, healing in your heart, or a fresh word that puts things in order, this podcast is for you! Tune in and be blessed.

This isn't just a gospel of forgiveness; it's a gospel of transformation. God didn't stop at forgiving you. He gave you a new heart and a new spirit and wrote His law inside you. You're a partaker of divine nature; you are born of God. This teaching cuts to the heart of identity. There's a radical difference between being covered and being cleansed: between forensic declaration and ontological transformation. When you stop living from your experience and start reckoning yourself based on God's Word, everything shifts. This isn't just a teaching; it is ontological truth.Don't miss this transformative word from Prophet Hari Rao; your identity determines your destiny.

You have learned very well to pray about your needs. But have you learned to pray from who you are?What if the reason things are not changing in your life is not a lack of prayer or faith, but a lack of identity?In this teaching Prophet Hari Rao reveals what it means to be a king and a priest in Christ. In your finances, your family, your home, your city. A priest stands in the gap between the visible and the invisible and becomes a holy interruption. A king rules with his words and transforms his environment to reflect heaven.Tune in and discover what you have been carrying all along.

Your union with Christ is not a doctrine to be studied; it's a reality to be lived. In this teaching, Prophet Hari Rao delivers a foundational, life-shifting teaching on the bedrock truth every believer must grasp: your union with Christ. This isn't just theology. The goal is experience. The goal is reality. And you cannot get to reality without a working knowledge of the truth. Every blessing, every grace, and every dimension of your walk with God is anchored here. This is where it all beginsThis truth will rewire how you pray, how you live, and how you see yourself.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances; it's your belief system? In this powerful teaching, Prophet Hari Rao breaks down how the thoughts you've inherited from experience and the people you love may be quietly shaping a life beneath your potential. Discover what it truly means to be loved by God, made in His image, and built for dominion. This is the foundation of how you were designed to live, it will challenge the way you see yourself. If you're ready to be the architect of a new story, this is for you!

Prophet Hari Rao takes us into Peter's empty boat & reveals why your empty boat might be exactly where Jesus wants to meet you: Peter, a skilled, professional fisherman who toiled all night with no results. There's no explanation for this failure. You could be the right person at the right time doing the right thing, yet there are no visible results. But what if your failure is about to become a platform for God's glory? Jesus stepped into that empty boat and gave Peter a command: "Cast the net on the deep side one more time." "Nevertheless, at Your word I will let down the net." What happened next changed everything. One moment of favor is equivalent to a lifetime of labor. Listen to discover why his testimony wasn't about what he caught; it was about what he forsook to follow Jesus. God is about to shock you with results you didn't pray for, didn't prepare for, don't have the capacity for; it's not a good catch, but a God catch. Get ready for extraordinary outcomes!

Prophet Hari Rao unveils the key to unlock all keys: becoming one with the Word. When the Word arrives and you receive it into your heart, something supernatural happens. You're not just hearing information; a life source, the very Spirit of God, is being transferred to you. In that moment, your soul and spirit are charged because the Word becomes real and brings illumination.The real famine isn't a lack of resources. The real lack is that we lack a Word from God. When God wants to favor you, He sends you a word. You are carried, lifted, and sustained by a Word from the Lord.Do you want to know how the Word in your spirit becomes more real than the person sitting next to you? Do you want to discover how the presence of the Word creates an atmosphere within you where evil cannot exist? Tune in and let the Word transform you.

Do you want to know how to move from asking to beholding? Prophet Hari Rao reveals what most believers miss: prayer isn't about asking; it's about beholding the face of the Lord and standing before Him. There is a dimension where we can become messengers of His glory and presence. It is possible that if we walk with God in a certain dimension and consistently stand before Him, we unlock what the Angel of His presence carries, and we also carry His glory and presence.The arrival of His presence is your biggest victory. Tune in and learn the language of the Holy Spirit. 

Prayer is where destinies are shaped.In this episode, Prophet Hari Rao reveals five powerful dimensions of prayer; they aren’t just practices, they’re foundations.  If you’ve ever wondered what consistent, powerful prayer looks like, or if you’ve felt stuck or dry in your time with God, this episode will stir you to press in again.From fellowship with the Holy Spirit to fervent intercession, this is an invitation to leave surface-level prayer behind and step into something real and transformational. It's a call to rebuild your altar; don’t miss it!

“Come, let us return to the Lord.” His love is relentless. His goodness knows no boundaries.In this episode, Prophet Hari Rao reveals the passionate pursuit of God for a wayward people through the life of Hosea. God raises Hosea, not just to carry the message, but to live it. His life became a signpost of God’s unending love and pursuit, even in their unfaithfulness. This is the heart of God on display!This is more than a teaching. It’s a call to return to intimacy with the Lord and to love Him above all else.

What if the real battle isn’t what’s around you but what you’ve allowed to take root in your spirit?In this teaching, Prophet Hari Rao reveals two marks of a true spiritual giant through the life of Elijah:1.⁠ ⁠A man of prayer.2.⁠ ⁠A man who carries a Word in his spirit.Elijah called down fire one day, but the next, he was hiding because he allowed the words of Jezebel to locate him before the Word of the Lord did.Real giants in the Spirit are not just men who see or hear. They are men who pray and carry the living Word.Have you made room for a Now Word from the Lord? Has it found you yet?Tune in, and let the Word of the Lord locate your spirit.

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. 

From Noah to Jesus, scripture shows us the power of favour. But if we are all loved and favoured equally, why do our lives look different? Why do the results we produce not match? There’s a dimension of favour that’s a gift and another that’s a reward. Most times, we’ve only experienced the dimension of favour as a gift, but not as a reward. Favour isn’t random; it’s stewarded, prepared for, and often hidden in divine relationships. The kind of favour that visited Mary but silenced Zechariah. The favour that raised up Joseph in a foreign land. The favour that turned Moses into a mouthpiece in one divine encounter. Even Jesus had to grow in favour with God and man. This episode unpacks the difference between favour as a gift and favour as a reward.The three dimensions of favour that mark a life truly set apart:➤ The Favour of His Presence – where God draws near.➤ Favour with People – doors you couldn’t open begin to swing wide.➤ Favour of Time & Seasons – where God accelerates what should’ve taken years.The Lord is raising a generation to carry the Favour of God.  If you’re feeling the tug to be one of the “favoured ones,” you’ll want to hear this.

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 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! 

"We don’t change because we have arrived; we arrive because we have changed."The Lord is leading us into a new season, and the price of a new season is TRANSFORMATION. There was a reason the Lord led the Israelites through the wilderness: to change their appetite and prepare them for the Promised Land. Before stepping into your promise, there’s a grace period where God allows you to adjust and retrain your appetite.Can you imagine an entire nation rebelling against God because of their appetite?If you don’t train your appetite, your appetite will train you.The Promised Land requires a retrained appetite.There is a bread that prepares you for your future and a bread that traps you in your past. You cannot continue with the same appetite and expect a different result.The more you engage in the noise of the world, the fainter the voice of the Lord becomes. But when you dull down the noise and tame the cravings of the flesh, your spiritual senses awaken! Because in the Promised Land, you have to cultivate the land through diligence and complete dependence on the Lord. When you train your appetite, the deeper things of God become louder. New wine demands new wineskins. This new season requires a new you.

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!

Identity is power! The idea of who you think you are holds power in both the visible and invisible worlds, fueling your capacity. It isn’t enough to simply hear God’s call; power is unlocked when you begin to appropriate that grace. It is about developing an internal, God-level consciousness, for your identity in Christ unlocks divine possibilities.Imagine how you would live and function if you saw yourself as the child of the Most High, a carrier of the highest Spirit, and a conqueror walking in that confidence. Your life is a product of the identity you carry - it will either rise to your identity or fall to it. Identity fuels possibilities and relationships. How can you be a blessing if you don’t know you have the power to bless?Your identity fuels your words - granting confidence in who God has called you to be. When you truly understand your identity, you will stop merely praying about certain things and begin speaking them into existence. Jesus said, "Speak to the mountain." Stop praying about things that you must be commanding!Your identity will decide how you fight - there is a difference in how kings wage war and function on the battlefield. Kings don’t complain; they command resources and master the art of warfare with words. Your identity will determine how you fight and how long you fight. May God reconnect you to your original identity and to who He has called you to be. 

“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 you - A 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 emotions - Are 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 input - What 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. 

In the Kingdom of God, it is not the show of power or brute force that allows you to inherit a throne. The principles we engage in to rise within the kingdom are very different from those outside the kingdom. In the Kingdom of Light, it must be given to you by the Lord. Judah was not the firstborn, yet the scepter of kingship was placed on him because he carried the heart of a king. He became an extension of his father’s heart, stepping in to protect Benjamin. Willing to sacrifice himself for his brother, foreshadowing Christ’s ministry. From Judah’s lineage came David, and ultimately, Jesus Christ. The quality of your heart matters! Dominion isn’t just about skill—it’s about the heart. Many don’t rise, not because they lack desire but because they lack the right heart. Scripture says God sought a man—not just David. There is a condition, a requirement. The first quality is to have the nature and heart of God. This heart of sacrifice is what qualifies one for the throne in God’s kingdom. The key is to be willing to align with His nature and let Him transform you into the person He desires for the task at hand. Every dimension and grace you want to walk into must be given to you by God. Master the principle of laying down your life for the glory of God and the benefit of others. This is the quality of a true leader. Welcome to the DNA of a king!

Knowledge alone doesn’t keep you from sin—resisting temptation requires more. You can know the secret yet lack the will & discipline to apply it. The last thing Jesus did before His crucifixion was pray—what an example of living in the Spirit! In Matthew 26:41–42, He warned Peter and the disciples to watch and pray, yet they fell asleep. Before temptation, there is always spiritual apathy. Beware of spiritual slumber!Peter fell into temptation, not because of a lack of knowledge. He knew what was coming, yet he denied Jesus. Even in the Garden of Eden—the most perfect place, having full knowledge, Adam and Eve sinned. Victory over temptation comes from strengthening your inner man, and that happens in the place of prayer. There, you receive an impartation of Divine Life.Death and life are in the power of the tongue. The worst attack was not Job’s children dying; it came from his wife—in the form of words. Similarly, Peter’s downfall came through his confession—just as his elevation did. Judas was brought down because of his confession, while Peter was brought up by his confession. Your confessions have power in the realms of the Spirit! Words uttered under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit are the greatest weapon you possess. Resistance to the enemy comes from the Word birthed in your spirit. It becomes a fortress against temptation. You can speak your way out of temptation & trouble. Fear cannot be your primary motivation for a holy life. Love for God must be your primary drive for holiness. Faith in your heart and words in your mouth are power. Resistance from the enemy comes from the spirit of the Word. May the Word make way for your elevation.

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.

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.

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?

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” This scripture in Isaiah 60:1-2 reveals a striking duality—while darkness covers the earth, a chosen subset of people will experience the glory of God. A specific light and grace can locate you that will cause you to rise—your light has come!  At the arrival of this light, 2 things happen:1. You Rise2. You are commanded to ShineIn the kingdom of God, you rise on the strength of the light you possess.It takes more than feet to stand; it requires light.When Jacob dreamt of a ladder, it symbolized truth, understanding, and precepts.In this kingdom, understanding is light; you scale heights based on understanding.Is there a Word, like fire in your bones, locked within your spirit? What you need is a Word that sustains and carries you—it is the most valuable commodity you can have. You move at the speed of that Word.Ruth's decision to follow Naomi was a holy covenant—following someone with nothing to offer is uncommon. Naomi’s only advantage was that she had tasted bread blessed by the Lord and carried vital information that there was bread in Bethlehem. She was now returning to the house of bread, to the voice of the Lord. (Ruth 1:6-16)It matters where you eat, who feeds you, and where your bread comes from. This year, return to the place of bread—the place of friendship and fellowship with God. There is a word that is a product of a visitation from the Lord: this bread sustains you.Naomi sent Ruth to Boaz, a man whose land was abundant with bread. As men of God, your primary function is to bring the Word of the Lord to your families. Are you rich in the Word? The Word is the generator of all things.In Joshua 1:8, as Joshua stood on the cusp of stepping into Moses’ mantle, with over a million people looking to him for direction, the Lord’s instruction was clear: stay in the Word—it was his blueprint for leadership. The command is to be immersed in the Word—saturated and consumed by it. The way we possess and rise is by being in the Word. To take ownership, become a voracious consumer of the Word.We rise on the merit of the Word in our spirit. There is a direct connection between your journey and your relationship with the Word. With all your getting, get understanding.There is a Word sent that is tailor-made for you. The source of great light is locked in the Word, and that Word is within you. From the Word you've stored in your spirit, light will emerge. Strength is never found on the outside; it is within you. The WORD IN YOU will rise and shine.Intellectual persuasion is not enough. If a word is born in the heart, it will move hearts; a word born in the mind intrigues minds, but the word born in the Spirit moves the spirit. What prevents darkness from taking over? It’s that you possess Light.Why did Satan want the body of Moses? There was light trapped in it—the evidence of the conversations he had face-to-face with the Lord. The greater your proximity to the presence of the Lord, the greater the light you carry.Eden was a dimension of truth and glory, rich with information. When Adam fell, he first lost access to Eden. Eden was a dimension of God, where He had imparted Himself. Though God cast them out of Eden, He still came to speak with them, reducing the glory He visited them with.Lucifer was cast out of one dimension—the place closest to the throne of God—yet he was still permitted at the gathering of the sons in the book of Job. He lost access to some realms of light but retained access to others.God can come to you in varying capacities and degrees of glory. He can give you Himself while still hiding certain dimensions of grace from you. There is bread in His presence; it is the product of a visitation. In 2025, become a carrier of the Great Light and learn to feast on the bread of His presence. Become a house of bread.

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 Promised 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 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 Promised 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 Promised 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 Promised 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; 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 halfway 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. Don't abort God’s 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 a 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.

“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. 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 Isiah 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. 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.
