My Month to Radiate in Glory!
by Pastor Olusogo Daramola
You are welcome to the month of September 2021, the last quarter of the year 2021! The month
of September will be full of miracles, testimonies, open doors, fruitfulness, favor, breaking forth,
safety, grace, and glory in Jesus’ mighty name. Last month was our month of “Laughter”. It was
also, our national convention of the Americas in Dallas, Texas titled “New Beginning.” It was a
month many HOP families encountered series of blessings. August was a month full of several
congratulations.
It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to this new month of September. September is the ninth
month of the year 2021. I pray for you as you begin this month of September, my God will cause
you to walk in glory in Jesus’ name, amen!
By prophecy, this is our “Month to Radiate in Glory”. It shall be so in Jesus’ name, amen! We
give all glory to God Who enabled the church to present all our School of Disciples (SOD)
students for graduation. Congratulations to Grandpa Michael Adeniran, Grandma Mary
Adeniran, Sis. Caroline Adesanya, Akorede Adesanya, Minister Oluwatosin Badejo, Bamidele
Lawal, Sis. Bukky Ajayi and Sis. Miriam Udofot who graduated from the School of Disciples
(SOD). In this past month, three of our ministers were also ordained as deaconesses. Hearty
congratulations to Deaconess Olajumoke Sophia Coo, Deaconess Olusola Ogbeide and
Deaconess Ola Aroloye. To Him alone be all the glory!!!
I would like to specially thank God for preserving everyone’s lives till this day. In spite of the
enemy’s plans, God made us escape and preserved our souls. “Our soul is escaped as a bird out
of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.” (Psalm 124:7). Genesis 21
verse 6 “And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me”
The prophecy for this month is “radiate in glory”. I do not know where you find yourself in the
battle of life or what is working against your glory. Maybe you lost your job, or you are sick,
discouraged, looking for a life partner, trusting God for a child, I prophesy over your life, in this
month of September, you will radiate in glory in the name of Jesus. Amen!
Would you now ask yourself a question, what could hinder me from radiating in glory? Two out
of many things could be a hindrance to your radiance in glory, family foundation or family
curses.
How can a curse be described?
Dictionary definition: – A curse is a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to
inflict harm or punishment on someone or something.
How do curses come into the life of an individual?
1. Through oneself – Psalm 34:13
2. Through parents – Genesis 9:24-25
3. Through a pastor or prophet
4. Through God: Genesis 3:16
5. Through sin: Proverb 28:13
6. Refusal to pay tithes – Malachi 3:9
Signs of curses
There are several signals or signs of curses especially in the family. Curses can manifest in the
life of an individual as:
Late or delayed marriage
Barrenness
Multiple divorce or separation
Poverty in the family
Sudden and untimely occurrences of death in the family
Incessant sicknesses and diseases
Family frustration and lack of education
Struggles that are beyond control or out of the ordinary
Constant experiences of failure
Rapid backwardness or stagnation
Remaining in one spot for a very long time (Limitation).
When people who are less qualified are promoted above you (this might be a sign of the
operations of curses).
When you are the edge of your breakthrough and things turned against you.
When you supposed to be a victor but rather you or your family members are
experiencing failure.
When the problems in your family apply to everyone in the family, it may be a curse.
People who were cursed in the Bible and their punishment.
1.David: for sleeping with Uriah’s wife and killing him – 1 Sam. 11:2-5, 14-17, 2 Sam.12:7-9,
2Sam. 12:10-12.
2. Adam and Eve were cursed for eating the fruit in the garden – Genesis 3:17, 3: 18-19
3. Rachael was cursed by Jacob because she stole her father’s idols – Genesis 31:30-32
4. Not paying tithe: – Malachi 3:9
5. Curse could come through parents: Noah’s son Genesis 9:24, Reuben Genesis 49:1-6, Proverb
29:1
6. Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree – Mark 11:12-25, Matthew 21:18-20
7. Curse could come through a Pastor or Prophet- 2 Kings 7:1-2(Officer of the king),2 Kings
5:27 (Gehazi was cursed), 2 Kings 2:22-25 (some Children were cursed)
8. Achan violated the God’s law and was cursed by Joshua. Joshua 7:1-12

10. King Saul was cursed by Prophet Samuel- 1 Samuel 15:10-23
11. Some people in the bible plotted against Jesus and were cursed. Matthew 27:11-26
I have good news for you today. There is a way out of all these curses.
The way out is:
1. Refuse to live under any curse: Galatian 3:13
2. Accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior -John 6:37,John 3:3
3. Confess your sins and renounce them. 1 John1:9
4. You must have a purposeful heart like Daniel. Daniel 1:8
5. Live a life of righteousness. Psalm 34:3
6. Trust in God. “Is anything too hard for God to do”? Jeremiah 32:27
Having explained hindrances to radiating in glory and the way out of the problem, it is important
to know that without knowing and accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior, it might be
difficult for you to deal with family curses and to experience radiance in glory. Please come to
Him today, tomorrow may be too late. Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. Be
strong and courageous. Step into the prophecy of this month of September by faith. God is out to
bless you more than you can think or imagine. Do not forget that as you continue to believe in
God, He will renew your strength, you shall mount up with wings as eagles; you shall run, and
not be weary; and you shall walk, and not faint. In this season of “radiant in glory “may the lord
bless and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you and lift His
countenance upon you and give you peace in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Welcome into September 2021, the month to “Radiate in Glory.” Remain in the atmosphere of
miracles. We want to say happy birthday to our special September celebrants. Fiyinfoluwa Grace
