GOING HIGHER WITH JESUS CHRIST
Theme: Awakened by Mercy, Empowered by Hope
*Scripture Focus:*
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
*1 Peter 1:3 (KJV)*
—
*Reflection:*
This verse is a celebration of the mercy of God and the transforming power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It reminds us that through His resurrection, we are not only saved but born into a living hope — a hope that is vibrant, unshakable, and anchored in eternal victory. In a world filled with despair, this living hope lifts us above circumstances and reminds us that our best days are ahead because of Christ’s triumph over the grave.
As we go higher with Jesus Christ this month, we are called to live above fear, doubt, and spiritual complacency. Resurrection power is not a one-time event; it is a continual source of divine energy for victorious living. It’s time to rise and walk in the reality of this lively hope.

*THANK HIM AS YOU ARE LED:*
*I DECREE and DECLARE:*
*Opening Prayer*
My Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of a new day and the opportunity to go higher with Christ this month. As I meditate on Your Word, let the power of resurrection awaken fresh hope in me. Let Your mercy speak over my past, and may Your Spirit quicken me to walk in the fullness of my new life in Christ. Speak to me, transform me, and empower me through this PRAYING SCRIPTURES devotional time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1) *Prayer for a Deeper Revelation of God’s Mercy*
Father, open the eyes of my heart to grasp the depth, width, and power of Your abundant mercy. Let Your mercy silence the voice of condemnation, cancel the lies of the enemy, and uproot every seed of guilt and shame from my past. Teach me to stop striving for what Your mercy has already given freely — acceptance, forgiveness, and renewal. Let me see every challenge through the lens of Your mercy, knowing You are not punishing me, but positioning me for growth and glory. Lord, help me embrace the reality that Your mercy is not just for salvation, but for my daily walk — sustaining me, lifting me, and drawing me closer to You. Let this mercy provoke in me deep gratitude, unwavering trust, and a fresh hunger for holiness. May I never take Your mercy for granted, but let it be the solid ground upon which I go higher in Christ each day.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

2) *Prayer for Activation of Living Hope*
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the living hope that flows from Your resurrection. This is not a dead, passive hope — it is vibrant, powerful, and present. Today, I ask that You activate this hope in every part of my being. Let it penetrate my thoughts, rule over my emotions, and direct my choices. Wherever despair has crept in — in my health, finances, relationships, or calling — let Your living hope arise and silence every lie of hopelessness. I declare by faith that my tomorrow is not a mystery to fear but a promise to embrace, because You live. Lord, fill me with supernatural expectation, and help me to dream again, believe again, and pursue again. Let this living hope compel me to speak life, to serve joyfully, to resist negativity, and to endure hardship with a victorious mindset. As I go higher with You, may this hope become contagious, inspiring others to believe that in Christ, there is always more ahead than behind.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

3) *Prayer to Walk in Resurrection Power*
Holy Spirit, I surrender myself afresh to the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead. Let that same power invade every dimension of my life today. Breathe life into my prayer altar, my passion for God, my pursuit of purpose, and every dream You’ve placed within me. Let nothing in me remain dead, dormant, or stagnant. Lord, stir up the gifts within me and awaken me to serve, to love, and to lead with divine energy. Let Your power destroy every spiritual laziness, break cycles of defeat, and silence the spirit of fear. I refuse to live as a spiritual spectator — I step into the arena of faith, clothed in resurrection power. May signs of new life surround me — testimonies, open doors, supernatural favour, and renewed strength. Make me a walking proof that Jesus is alive. As I rise higher this month, let every day be a manifestation of resurrection power in action — in my words, my choices, and my results.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

*Closing Prayer*
Father, I thank You for the lively hope I have in Christ Jesus. Thank You for the assurance that no matter what comes my way, resurrection power is at work in me. As I journey through this month, may my spirit continually ascend into higher dimensions of faith, love, power, and purpose. Let the rest of this month be days of divine encounters, fulfilled promises, and supernatural breakthroughs. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I cover all my prayers and my declarations and my decrees and my commands and my supplications and my petitions and my confessions and my thanksgiving by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for absolute performance.
TODAY’S PROPHECY
Thus Saith the Lord,
*1) “MY Beloved Child, When you receive a gift — no matter how big or small — don’t try to measure it with your natural eyes. The size doesn’t matter. What matters most is the heart behind it.*
*I want you to understand this: many of the blessings I send your way may not come wrapped in grandeur, but they are filled with MY love, MY thoughts, and MY purpose for you. I move people to give, to speak, to help — not because of what they have, but because of the love I’ve placed in their hearts for you.*
*So don’t overlook the small things. Don’t dismiss what seems simple. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every gift — even the ones you didn’t expect — carries a piece of MY heart to you.*
*Receive each one with joy. Be thankful, not just for the gift, but for the heart that gave it. Gratitude opens your eyes to see ME in all things — big or small.*
*Remember, I look at the heart — and I want you to do the same.*
*With everlasting love,*
*Your Father.”*
