IT IS A NEW SEASON - RISE, RULE, REIGN!

Streams of Joy Abuja on Sunday 3 May 2026, first Sunday of May. Theme: It is a new season. Rise, rule, reign. Worship opens with sudden turnaround, the Holy Ghost overshadowing those who are asking "how shall this thing be," and thanksgiving that God did not give them to the wishes of their enemies. The house then speaks into the week: by the oil on the head every Goliath is crushed; El Roi singles them out; what swallowed others takes them higher; the favor of God is their identity; mockers are silenced; satanic contradiction fires. The day's cry, shouted through prayer, altar runs and the close of every service, is "It is a new season. I rise. I rule. I reign." They also declared "This is not what I planted," "I hear the sound of the abundance of rain," and "Watch."

The teaching is one charge preached four ways. From Matthew 13:24-30 (first service) a man sows wheat, the enemy sows tares while men sleep, and harvest is when maturity tells them apart: May's mandate is grow up; you did not plant delay, diabetes, hepatitis or cancer, so fire clears it; a man with a great destiny has traded normality for the supernatural. From Ruth 1 (second service) Naomi found bread in Moab and lost husband and sons: your new season is a person; take Bethlehem bread from God, not Moab bread from schemes; Ruth's destiny is bigger than Naomi's discouragement; Orpah cried and went back, Ruth stayed and became great-grandmother of Jesus. From 1 Kings 18:1, 41-46 (third service) God said rain in verse 1, Elijah heard abundance of rain in verse 41: you do not wait for the season, you create it on your knees; six reports of nothing do not cancel the seventh; the cloud like a man's hand is enough if the hand of the Lord is on you. From Matthew 25:1-13 (fourth service) Jesus' own conclusion is watch: extra oil is wisdom, doing only what you are supposed to do is foolishness; man the door; show up even without oil, because the bridegroom wants you, not your lamp.

Ministry ran through the day: fire to clear the way, garments of the old season torn, altar runs (overflow to the screen; online, hand on the device), tongues to confuse the enemy, "let there be light," follow grounds broken, names on the list, tumors dropping off. First-service five prayers: knock and gates open; the Lord troubles the troublers; tokens on wicked altars broken; whatever was locked bursts open; May is the month of reward. Second service: men and women carrying your new season appear before 11 May; destiny bigger than Naomi. Third: receive abundance of rain; the seventh look is coming in May. Fourth: take over the door; do more. Testimonies were heavy: a father walked away from a truck crash after Friday's "appointment of death is cancelled"; addictions of years broken; a gas-explosion wound sealed in a week; a $3,000 grant after mockers; an 11-year wait for a baby; a lecturer's jump from 40,000 naira; a 350 million naira contract; a doctor's guilt reversed by a timed word; a fintech GM seat from six digits to seven; London breast cancer declared gone in Abuja; a village burial trip that should have been an obituary.

He closes into Monday: new moon prayers continue on the NSPPD altar. Monday's load is operation stop the stoppers, operation Ephphatha, operation access, prayers for families, prayers over the works of your hands, call forth your new season, and a prophetic naming ceremony. Come with a symbol of your work, a list of new names for May, and congratulations notes written as if they have already happened, with dates. Fast Monday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Next Sunday is "His word did not fail." Closing confession: "I am dwelling in the secret place of the most High."

In-law in a September 2024 gas explosion, skin gone head to toe, wound not healing more than 8 months. Fifth day of the fast: "open wound be sealed up"; healing began from the face in a week; now unrecognizable as a burn patient. Second: Jerry Eze Foundation grant.

• Career / Canada testimony (second service, name partly lost). US visit approved. Lagos six-figure job; vowed if God brought her back to Abuja at three or more times the pay she would multiply partnership; received four times Lagos pay and kept the vow. Contract threatened 2 June; "they meant it for evil... nobody will take your place"; slot restored in the original role. Last year August: pictures of Canadian universities, full scholarship; sponsor paid first tuition $18,500; visa approved for her and dependants; last Sunday in Abuja. About 90% of her written list cleared. Pastor: there is a branch where she is going.
• Peace Oker. 2022: 10-year marriage ended; he stabbed her in the neck, collarbone caught it, left her in blood with a newborn and two children. Suicide note and sniper ready; she clicked an NSPPD link: "obituary will not hold. God has need for you." Wrote the list, stayed; car, restoration, first building contract, then a contract of almost 100 million naira. Left the altar; drought. 31 December crossover she vowed never to leave and to carpool NSPPDians. Papa's birthday week: in three weeks you will distribute what you begged for; before-and-after video in engineer's kit; exactly three weeks a contract. Client tried to replace her after the civil phase with a bigger company (350 million naira total); vision mismatch brought the job back. She completed it; restaurant opened 1 May.
• Okenno Mesomachi, doctor. Ignored the 7:00 a.m. link in 2023; November 2023 overheard "what you are saving for will be given as a gift." January 2024 the Spirit said stay on the altar. Exam fees in the millions appeared without her saving; another 1 million naira for a ticket; she sat the exam twice over and passed. Father: pneumonia on 30-year hypertension; 12 June midweek word about a cloud of witnesses who lost loved ones and stayed; 13 June he passed. Guilt until 28 November 2025, 7:47: "overwhelmed with the guilt of your father's death... let that guilt be reversed." Sleep returned. Came from Lagos.
• Michael (Enugu; had testified about a suspension reversed in hours). Word: release your name in the atmosphere. Former colleague, now a top official, called him in after two years; a fintech board had heard his name twice. Enugu board visit; chairman's first question: are you a pastor? Day 19 of a 21-day fast. Flown to Abuja before the offer letter; shown an office, congratulated GM; covers head office, Lagos, Enugu and new branches. Pay from six digits to seven. First fruits of the seven digits offered. Drops his card as a pointer.

Word: what they saw before they will not see again. Repeat tests including biopsy: nothing. Declared cancer free; no chemo.
• Joshua Wab. Joined February 2026. Father's burial in Nimo (Anambra; witchcraft in the village). Did the oath prayer; burial succeeded. Returning, mother, brother, aunt and daughter in one vehicle: all slept, car went under a moving trailer, wrecked, no scratch. His own return Abuja trip that had taken under 10 hours took 5 days of breakdowns; death prophecies over him and his brother; he shook off the obituary report from two weeks earlier. At every stop a mechanic or helper was already there.
• Uba Taiwo, Lekki Lagos, realtor. Parents unmarried; boarding school called her a bastard; after 42 years of altar prayer they came back together. National real-estate target won; exact car and estate, but the rented house was a "lion's den." 2020 near-death, saw hell for unforgiveness and refusing her calling; second chance, house fellowship. Landlord heard midnight prayers, shook her hand, "return to sender"; partial stroke, brain fog, depression, hospitals saw nothing. Tried to buy her RAV4; next-door neighbor leaving; quit notice; "my mother is a witch." She quoted "who is he that saith..."; volume up on Oh Lord show me mercy. Uniformed men, criminal charges; at the station the officer knew her uncle. (Captions cut as she is still in the story; the charge is deliverance from a demonic landlord and false accusation.)

Words of knowledge / healing declarations

• Fire, clear the way. Shame to celebration, delay to speed, dryness to abundance. Angels of manifestation, where are you?

1. Life is structured in seasons, but God still changes times and seasons. May is not only a new month. It is a new season. Rise, rule, reign. The me of April is not the me of May, not because the calendar flipped, but because you are aware the journey is from glory to glory.

2. Grow up. Wheat and tares look the same until harvest. Maturity is what tells hunger from obsession, a killer friendship from a destiny help, excitement from conviction, a momentary feeling from the anointing, contentment from a place you have outgrown. Stop living on 10-minute prayers and one day in fellowship. There is a harvest; without growth you will carry tares home and call it wheat.

3. This is not what I planted. The enemy sowed while men slept. Even a mistake is an opportunity the devil used, not your assigned harvest. The blood speaks better things. Delay, failure at the edge, diabetes, hepatitis, tuberculosis, cancer at 40, struggling children, "when it is time to celebrate something goes wrong": pack and leave. Fire, clear the way.

4. There is nothing normal about a man with a great destiny. His enemy came at night because the good seed is a threat. Unbelievers on 2:00 a.m. Zoom calls have already traded normality. Anoint the children, put your hand on their pictures, fast the month if he says so. Gossip, revenge, marrying by height and complexion: that is normal. You do Jesus. They that know their God do exploits.

5. When the new season comes, the enemy capitalizes on ignorance, offers a fake harvest, and goes for the root. Watch his enemy: laziness, lust, no fellowship, no study. People can name the problem and still give a solution that would uproot the wheat. Wheat and tares may stand side by side; give it time. God cannot lie. May is that harvest window.

6. Your new season is a person. God dilutes immortality with men: an idea, a connection, counsel. Do not find bread in Moab and lose destiny. Illicit sex is sweet, lies can make money, deception can open doors; what leaves you is the scandal. Ruth walked toward bread she had not yet seen because God had visited Bethlehem. Naomi is not the signpost of your future. Cry if you must; when you finish, do not be Orpah. Stay. Ruth still carried Jesus.

7. God said rain. Elijah heard abundance. Delay of three years is not a drizzle coming; it is abundance. You are not waiting for the weather. You create the season on your knees. Carmel is a reminder: he heard you before. Six reports of nothing do not cancel the word in verse 1. See through your knees. Do not hear or see everything they are saying. Make heaven hear you. Congratulations is already in your mouth.

8. Jesus' summary of the virgins is one word: watch. Watch who you trust, what you sign, the joke that was a proposal, the nobody sitting beside you, the friend with a dagger. Extra oil is wisdom. Doing only what you were supposed to do (one hour of prayer, school run, Thursday service) heaven can still call foolishness. Greatness is more. Circles that excuse weakness, throw them off. Show up. The Bridegroom did not say bring your certificates. Grace is the advantage. All he wants is you; he will not leave you as you are.
