As we enter the next  phase in the ministry’s calling, we shall manifest the WONDERS of the blessings received in all spheres of life in Jesus’ name (Rom.3:4; Ps.89:34-35). Today, being the first Charismatic Hour in the month of July as well as the first after the fasting exercise, we shall be looking at the things that must be under the following points:-  (1) Things That Must Be; (2) Why They Must Be (3) Our Attitudes In This Regard. (1)        THE THINGS THAT MUST BE (Gen. 15:13-14; 17:15-21; Num. 23:19; Isa. 46:9-11) There are things that must be which the Lord wants us to know very clearly.  Those things are the things  He (God) has declared and fixed by His words, decrees, sanctions and prophecies.  (Ps. 104:5-10; 105:6-13).  Therefore the things the Lord has spoken, the promises He has made us, all that is written directly or indirectly concerning us, as well as the declarations and blessings pronounced on us by His Servants in His name are the things that must be (2 Chro. 20:20; Isa.45:23a, 55:11, Jer.1:12). (2)        WHY THEY MUST BE (Num. 23:19; Heb. 6:16-18) These things must be because He that declared or said them takes into consideration all conditions, past and present before saying them.  There is no contingencies in His programme unlike man, He is Omniscient.  He knows what had been and what will be.  In His foresight He declares the things that are not as though they are.  He is also Omnipotent, having the power to order things to suite His will and purpose (Rev. 19:6; Job 38:1-23).  His is Omnipresence, being everywhere He takes care of all the obstacles that will hinder the miracle.  Our God has such enormous powers that it will be foolishness to think that anybody or anything can stop or withstand His will and purpose. (Deut. 32:39-40; Isa. 46:9-11).  What should then be our attitude when this God or His Servants in His name declare to us His mind, His counsel and His purpose?  This brings us to the last point. (3)        OUR ATTITUDE IN THIS REGARD (Isa. 3:10-11; 45:16-25) Our attitude must be that of absolute and resolute trust and faith in God.  We must refuse any persuasion to give up or try an ungodly option in the face of delay to our miracles and blessings.  We must tell ourselves that those things must be which the Lord has spoken to us.  No circumstance – be it condition of health, of the body, of nature, of the nation or other things can stop it (Rom.3:4, Prov.19:21). Therefore the things for which I have put faith in God must come to be (Num.23:19, Isa.45:19). We also must eschew evil, and sin, seek peace and pursue after righteousness, living a life of obedience.  As we do the manifestation will follow shortly in Jesus’ Name! (Lk1:45) Sinners should repent from their sins and get connected to His Excellency so that they may  partake of the things that must be. The child of God should rise in faith and declare what the Lord has said concerning him.                                                                HSCF: 115
