With Prophet Frank Udoh

🔥 Today’s Focus:

Pleaced Ahead

📖 Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 18:40–46
📌 Focal Verse:
“And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.” — 1 Kings 18:40 (KJV)

Before the rain came, Elijah dealt with the prophets of Baal—those demonic systems and voices that stood as opposition to God’s divine release. Elijah didn’t just wait for the promise of rain; he actively confronted and eliminated everything contending with the will of God. Only after the voices of darkness were silenced did the heavens open with great rain.

There are seasons when God has scheduled your lifting, your rain, your abundance—but before you step into it, there are systems that must be dismantled. You were not created to coexist with what resists your progress. You have been placed ahead—not behind, not beneath, but ahead in purpose, in victory, and in destiny. Like Elijah, there is an order for the rain, but there is also an instruction: “Let not one of them escape.”

🕊️ Reflection:
To walk in divine elevation, you must partner with heaven to bring down strongholds. Every altar, voice, and system that feeds on the Jezebel table—those sources of negativity, delay, manipulation, and spiritual opposition—must be pulled down. Let the sword of the Lord silence every agent of darkness contending with your new season.

Just as Elijah took authority and cleared the ground, you too must rise in prayer, in boldness, and in obedience to clear what competes with the glory of God in your life. When you do, the rain of favor will not just fall—it will pour. The promise will not just manifest—it will overwhelm. You will see results that exceed your expectation, because those who tear down what’s evil will be placed ahead by divine order.

📌 Live It Out:
Don’t tolerate what you’re meant to overthrow. Take spiritual authority. Pray with fire. Speak with power. Declare your elevation. Cut off anything that hinders your rain—so that when it comes, you’re ready to walk in it.

🗣️ Declaration:
By the Word of the Lord, I am placed ahead! No force of hell will steal my glory. I silence every demonic voice, I pull down evil altars, and I step into my divine rain. I am the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath, in Jesus’ name!

📖 Memory Verse:
“Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne… for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.” — Isaiah 47:1 (KJV)
