Pastoral Prayers and Prohetic Declaration

WEEKLY PASTORAL PRAYER, WORD & PROPHETIC DECLARATION

August 16th – August 22nd, 2026

Theme: The Manifestation of His Glory

Bishop Prof. Julius O. Soyinka
Ultimate Power Gospel Assembly, Ibadan

WORD FOR THE WEEK
Isaiah 60:1–2
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.”

The glory of God is His manifested presence, power, goodness, and greatness revealed in the life of His people. 

God does not intend for His children to live permanently under the shadow of defeat, shame, stagnation, or obscurity.

This week, the Lord is calling you to arise and shine. His glory is not merely something we talk about; it is something that can be manifested in our lives through His presence and power.

Where there has been darkness, let the light of God arise. Where there has been disappointment, let glory replace shame. Where there has been stagnation, let divine power bring movement and progress in Jesus name.

Do not allow your past to determine your future. Do not allow your present circumstances to limit your expectation. The glory of the Lord is rising upon you, and His glory shall be seen in your life in Jesus name.

This week, expect God to reveal His greatness through you—in your family, career, ministry, business, health, relationships, and every area of your life.
Your season of manifestation has come!

 PASTORAL PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unfailing mercy and for bringing us into another blessed week.
Lord, let Your glory arise upon every member of Ultimate Power Gospel Assembly. Let Your presence become evident in our lives, homes, families, workplaces, businesses, and ministries in Jesus name.

Every darkness around our lives, let Your light dispel it. Every reproach, let Your glory replace it with honour. Every situation that has brought tears, let it become a testimony in Jesus name.

Father, manifest Your power in the lives of those trusting You for healing, provision, restoration, breakthrough, and direction. Let long-standing situations receive divine intervention.
Cause us to shine in a world filled with darkness. Let our lives become testimonies of Your goodness and evidence of Your faithfulness in Jesus name.

May Your glory distinguish us, protect us, and announce us. Let everything we do bring honour to Your name in Jesus name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:

I decree over your life this week:

The glory of the Lord shall rise upon you. Every darkness around your life shall give way to divine light. You shall arise above limitations, disappointment, and stagnation in Jesus name.

What has been hidden shall begin to manifest for your good. The Lord shall turn your shame into honour and your sorrow into joy. Your family shall experience the manifestation of God's goodness in Jesus name.

Divine favour shall distinguish you wherever you go. The power of God shall bring life to every area that has experienced stagnation. Your testimony shall become visible evidence of God's glory in Jesus name.

I declare that you will not merely hear about God's glory—you shall experience and manifest His glory!
Your life shall become a testimony, your home shall become a testimony, and your hands shall carry evidence of the goodness of God. This is your week of the Manifestation of His Glory, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

CONFESSION FOR THE WEEK
Declare boldly:
"The glory of the Lord is risen upon me.
I arise and shine because my light has come.
Every darkness around my life is giving way to God's light.
I walk in divine favour, power, and victory.
The glory of God is being manifested in my life, my family, and my endeavours in Jesus name.

My shame is turning into honour.
My struggles are turning into testimonies.
I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
My life shall bring glory to God.
This week, I shall experience the manifestation of His glory.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen!"

Breaking the Satanic Chains by the Anointing

BREAKING THE SATANIC CHAINS BY THE ANOINTING Study Text: Isaiah 61: 1 - 2 Introduction: -       Jesus was given the anointing of the Holy Spirit without measure, and He has capacity to break every Satanic bondage, yoke, covenant and chain. -        This same anointing is working with us today to set the captives free and to enjoy the blessings of God to the fullest.  -       God is the mighty deliverer. He is in the business of destroying the works of the Devil and breaking both spiritual and physical chains.  -        In the Bible, which was written for our example and enlightenment, He broke the chains of several people.  -       A notable example is the deliverance of Paul and Silas in the prison, alongside with every other person that was locked up and chained with them in the prison. Acts 16: 25 - 28.    -       God can not only put a stop...

Transformation Through Renewing the Mind.

TRANSFORMATION THROUGH RENEWING THE MIND  Study Text: Romans 12: 1-2 Introduction: -.     Releasing your body to do the will of God and to please Him only is the most reasonable service. -.     This is because it is both acceptable to God and rewardable by Him. -.     To do this effectively,   you must: 1.      Resist the attempts to be comformed to the principles and practices of the world. 2.     Receive the transformation of your heart through continual renewal of your mind. -.     We shall be discussing the topic under three sub-headings: 1.      The Pattern of Our Sacrifice. 2.      The Purpose of Our Separation. 3.      The Process of Our Sanctification. 1.      The Pattern of Our Sacrifice: -.     As believers, we are encouraged to consider the mercies of God towards us in Christ Jesus, and to willingly...

Discovering the Purpose of God for your Life

Image
TOPIC: DISCOVERING THE PURPOSE OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE Main Text: Acts 9: 1-9 Memory Verse Text: Acts 9:6 We shall base this study upon the question asked by Saul of Tarsus at the very moment of his new birth:  "What shall I do, Lord?”  Did Saul’s conversion just “happen”?; was it by “chance” that he was suddenly converted on the Damascus road, or was it according to a divine plan and purpose?   Acts 9:15 tells us that it certainly was “according to plan” – God’s plan.  But has God a plan for my life?  If so, how may I know it and what is involved in finding it?  There are three characteristics of God’s plan for our lives: (1) It is a personal plan.  Notice the personal pronouns – “you” and “me” in Acts 9:4.   There is no one else in the world like you, and therefore God’s plan for you is unique and personal – just for you!  He has a purpose to fulfil in and with your life which cannot be fulfilled in and with the life of any other per...
