ODM TOPIC: A DAY TO LOOK AT THE ROOTS!
CLICK HERE FOR BASIC SCRIPTURE BIBLE READING FEBRUARY 22nd 2026
Today’s scripture vs. 20 says, “And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.” Note the words, “FROM THE ROOTS!” The LORD is saying to a soul today : In this year 2026, stop looking at the LEAVES! Look at the ROOTS! Seek to understand beyond what your eyes can see! Seek to see circumstances FROM THEIR ROOTS! Stop interpreting people from their faces and from their actions! Until you deal with most issues FROM THEIR ROOTS, they will NEVER go forever! Most RE-OCCURRING BATTLES are because THEIR ROOT AND ORIGIN are still intact! Forgive that man or woman and start seeing their actions FROM THE ROOT! The ROOT in most cases means THE SPIRITUAL ORIGIN of that battle or event! You cannot escape BAD NEWS until you UPROOT IT from the ROOT! That is why you must loose GOOD NEWS daily from THE ROOT! When exploring difficult people or family histories, try to approach the past with compassion and a desire to understand the people involved, rather than judging them in anger and bitterness! In 2026, deal with the origin of sickness, financial bondage, marital delay, stagnation, demotion, rise and fall, disappointment at the edge of breakthroughs, pregnancy miscarriage, etc. It was Percy Bysshe Shelley who penned, “Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.” To solve a problem, you need to remove THE CAUSE and not THE SYMPTOMS! Stop searching among the BRANCHES, what appears on IN THE ROOT! Our Daily Manna Today 22 February 2026 A DAY TO LOOK AT THE ROOTS!

CONNECTING TO THE 22-DAY JOURNEY
Today is February 22nd, 2026 — the twenty-second day of the second month.
We began this month with Job’s restoration. We moved through the faith of the desperate father and the deliverance of his demonized son. We stood with Dashrat Manjhi and his twenty-two years of hammer and chisel. And now, on this twenty-second day, we arrive at Mark 11 — the chapter where Jesus speaks directly to mountains.
Twenty-two.
Twenty-two years Manjhi laboured.
Twenty-two days we have journeyed.
Twenty-two chapters of Revelation await us.
Twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet — the alphabet God used to write His Word.
There is a divine alignment on this day. The twenty-two years of your waiting are ending. The twenty-two days of your fasting are climaxing. The twenty-two mountains of your opposition are trembling.
Today, the fig tree withers.
Today, the temple is cleansed.
Today, the mountain moves.
Today, you receive the authority to say to your impossibility: BE THOU REMOVED!
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FIG TREE AND THE MOUNTAIN
The fig tree looked alive. It had leaves — the appearance of life, the appearance of productivity, the appearance of blessing. But when Jesus drew near, hungry for fruit, He found nothing but leaves.
How many of us have leaves but no fruit?
-
Leaves of attendance but no fruit of worship.
-
Leaves of giving but no fruit of sacrifice.
-
Leaves of ministry but no fruit of intimacy.
-
Leaves of confession but no fruit of character.
Jesus cursed the fig tree not because He was angry at a tree, but because He was painting a parable. The fig tree represented Israel — religious, traditional, impressive from a distance, but barren up close. It represents every life that looks successful but is spiritually sterile.
But then Jesus went to the temple.
The temple was supposed to be the house of prayer. Instead, it had become a den of thieves. Religion had become business. Worship had become commerce. The presence of God had been replaced by the presence of moneychangers.
First, Jesus curses fruitlessness.
Then, Jesus cleanses corruption.
And then, He teaches on faith.
The withered fig tree became an object lesson. Peter marvelled: “Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away!”
And Jesus answered: “Have faith in God.”
The same faith that cursed the fig tree can command the mountain.
The same faith that cleanses the temple can cast the mountain into the sea.
WHAT IS YOUR FIG TREE?
What in your life looks alive but is actually fruitless?
-
A prayer life that is routine but not relational?
-
A marriage that is functional but not flourishing?
-
A career that is profitable but not purposeful?
-
A ministry that is busy but not fruitful?
Identify your fig tree. Jesus is hungry. He is coming to your tree today. Do not let Him find nothing but leaves.
WHAT IS YOUR MOUNTAIN?
What stands between you and your destiny?
-
A financial debt that will not break?
-
A sickness that will not heal?
-
A family member who will not repent?
-
A door that will not open?
Identify your mountain. Jesus has given you authority. Speak to it. Command it. It must obey.
THE ASABA CONNECTION
Yesterday, at The Cenotaph in Asaba, the anointing fell. Mountains were cursed. Temples were cleansed. Faith was awakened.
Today, the Word goes forth: HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
The Asaba gathering is not a conference; it is a convergence of mountain-movers. It is an assembly of those who have refused to accept the impossibility report. It is a company of those who have picked up their hammers, gripped their chisels, and declared: I SHALL NOT CRY! I SHALL NOT BE MOCKED IN 2026!
For those who could not be physically present, the Spirit of God is present with you now. The same Jesus who stood in the temple courtyard stands in your living room. The same faith that withered the fig tree is available to you.
Receive it.
Activate it.
Deploy it.
PROPHETIC ACTS FOR THIS TWENTY-SECOND DAY
-
Identify a physical representation of your mountain. Write it on a piece of paper. Place it under your feet. Declare: “Thus shall my mountain be cast down!”
-
Identify a physical representation of your fig tree. Write “LEAVES WITHOUT FRUIT” on a paper. Tear it. Declare: “Thus shall every fruitless labour be terminated!”
-
Cleanse your temple. Walk through your home. Open every window. Pray in every room. Anoint every doorpost. Declare: “This house shall be a house of prayer!”
-
Speak to your mountain. With your mouth open and your heart believing, speak directly to that impossible situation. Use present tense imperative: “BE THOU REMOVED! BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA!”
-
Declare your fruitfulness. Plant a seed — a literal seed, or a financial seed. Declare: “As this seed dies and bears fruit, so shall my life bear fruit unto righteousness!”
CLOSING PRAYER FOR FEBRUARY 22nd, 2026
O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou who didst curse the fig tree and cleanse the temple, Thou who didst speak to mountains and they obeyed, I bow before Thee this twenty-second day of the second month.
I confess that I have often had leaves without fruit. I have looked alive but been barren. Forgive me. By Thy mercy, let not the curse fall upon me; let rather the pruning come. Cut away every branch that beareth not fruit, that I may bring forth more fruit.
I confess that I have made my temple a marketplace. I have allowed the moneychangers of mammon, the dove-sellers of distraction, and the thieves of busyness to defile my worship. Lord Jesus, take Thy whip and cleanse me. Overturn every table of unrighteousness. Cast out every buyer and seller. Let my body be wholly Thine.
And now, Lord, I stretch forth my hand toward my mountain. I speak with the authority Thou hast given me. I speak with faith in God, not doubt in my heart. I say unto this mountain:
BE THOU REMOVED!
BE THOU CAST INTO THE SEA!
I believe that what I have said shall come to pass. I receive it now. I thank Thee for it now. I walk in it now.
For with men it is impossible, but not with God. And I have faith in God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
DECLARATION OF FRUITFULNESS
I shall not wither.
I shall not be barren.
I shall not be bypassed.
I shall not be cursed.
The Lord Jesus is hungry, and when He comes to me, He shall find fruit.
Fruit of the Spirit.
Fruit of souls.
Fruit of righteousness.
Fruit that remains.
My fig tree is flourishing.
My temple is cleansed.
My mountain is moving.
My God is faithful.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
