When the Prophetic Knocks on Your Door!
“And the day came when Elisha passed over to Shunem. And a great woman was there. And she laid hold on him to eat bread. And it happened, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. And she said to her husband, Behold now, I see that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually. Please, let us make a little room on the wall.
And let us set a bed for him there, and a table, and a stool, and a lampstand. And when he comes to us, he shall turn in there. And the day came when he came in there, and he turned into the room and lay there.” (2 kings 4: 8-11).
The prophetic can pass by you to stay or to leave, you choose! This book can be another book you read or a life-transforming message.
Do you have a little room in your heart for a prophet, the holy man of God? Do you have a place for the prophetic in your church? Build one!
Invest in stretching your territory to make room for the prophetic anointing because you will be blessed. This woman was rich not only because of her wealth but because she discerned a greater wealth and attracted it by honoring and welcoming the prophet.
You may say, I am rich, I am satisfied, so I don't need a prophet to pass by me. This woman didn't think this way, although she was rich, she was poor in other areas, she was barren, and money couldn’t give her a child.
She didn’t know by investing in the prophetic and sowing seeds of honor that she was opening the gates of heaven over her and making a room for life in her womb not only on the wall of her house.
There is always what we call the rewards of honoring a prophet. After she had built a room for Elisha, he wanted to bless her.
“And he said, what then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, truly, she has no child, and her husband is old” (2 Kings 4:14).
Elisha could have said what can I do to a wealthy woman? It’s me who needs her help. Had he thought this way, he would have hindered her blessing and turned off his gifts. But Elisha, who was wealthier because he was rich in the Lord and had access to things this woman didn’t have, he prophesied a son to her.
A prophet enriches your life when you think you have it all, even when your bank account is full.
There are always things you don’t see or hear that God prepared for you to release in your life. Just make a little room for him! Your honoring seed triggers the prophetic anointing and puts a demand on it.
Your wealth may be in your pocket like that woman, but the wealth of a prophet is in his mouth.
The seed of welcoming him, building him a room and blessing him with meals of hospitality triggered heaven to answer back. You can’t sow into heaven without triggering it to responding to touch your life.
I am not limiting your seeds to money only; it is not about what you give it is in the heart of honoring.
It may be money, room, a place to rest in, or maybe inviting a prophet to your church, etc.
In a nutshell, welcoming a prophet is the greatest form of honor you can give him whatever the expression of your giving is.
You can’t welcome a prophet and not embrace the supernatural. You step into a realm you’ve never walked in before when you touch a prophet’s life. Are you ready for some supernatural experiences to take place in your life?

The Life-Giving Joy of the Lord: Biblical Secrets to Divine Health, Healing, and Anti-Aging!
A Biblical Fountain of Youth
In our pursuit of health and longevity, the Bible offers profound insights into a lifestyle rooted in divine joy, peace, and faith. Psalm 16:8–11 (NIV) provides a roadmap for living in divine health and vitality, revealing truths that are both ancient and relevant today.
Stability: The Foundation of Health
Psalm 16:8 declares:
“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
This verse emphasizes the power of a steadfast relationship with God. Anxiety, fear, and stress—when left unchecked—are known to harm physical health, accelerating aging and weakening immunity. Research confirms that chronic stress can lead to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and premature aging.
Instead, focusing on the Lord brings stability and peace. Jesus assures us in John 14:27:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
This divine peace acts as a powerful antidote to stress, paving the way for better health and longer life.
The Joy-Health Connection
Psalm 16:9 continues:
“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure.”
This verse highlights a connection between joy and physical well-being. Modern science agrees: joy and positive emotions release endorphins, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. Proverbs 17:22 echoes this wisdom:
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
By rejoicing in faith and speaking words of joy, we activate a powerful cycle of healing and restoration. Joyful living has been linked to increased longevity, reduced illness, and greater overall vitality.
Anti-Aging Through Spiritual Alignment
Psalm 16:10 reminds us:
“Because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.”
This verse transcends the natural aging process, suggesting that a life rooted in joy and spiritual connection can reverse the effects of aging. Similarly, Isaiah 40:31 promises renewal:
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
When we align with God’s principles, this renewal manifests physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Science Supports the Supernatural
Modern research underscores the Bible’s timeless wisdom. Studies show that joyful individuals experience:
Laughter therapy, a growing field, has demonstrated that laughter reduces blood pressure, pain, and stress while enhancing overall well-being. Even the testimony of Norman Cousins, who famously recovered from a debilitating disease using joy and laughter, confirms this truth.
Divine Joy: A Supernatural Force
While earthly joy is beneficial, the joy of the Lord is supernatural. This joy, a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23), surpasses any human emotion. It sustains us in trials, rejuvenates our spirit, and strengthens our bodies.
Nehemiah 8:10 proclaims:
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
When we immerse ourselves in His presence, we experience fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). This divine joy energizes our cells, brightens our countenance, and infuses us with vitality.
A Divine Formula for Radiance
Psalm 16:9 offers a transformative anti-aging formula:
When we align our hearts and words with God’s truth, our overall health flourishes. Our faces shine with vitality, and even our cells resonate with the life-giving power of joy.
Radiate God’s Joy
This free, daily anti-aging practice is within your reach. Embrace the joy of the Lord as your strength. Let His peace guard your heart, His promises fill your soul, and His joy rejuvenate your body.
Start today. Experience the life-changing power of Psalm 16:8–11 and radiate divine vitality for years to come.
God bless you,
