You are strong

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
Ephesians 6:10(KJV)

We can all be strong. If you are in Christ, you are strong. Say this out loud, “I am strong.” The bible says in Joel 3:6, “… let the weak say, I am strong.” The Bible also says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “…My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” So, when the devil tells you, you are weak, just know it is time for you to have your biggest victory.

The word of God says to you in Ephesians 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” So, every Christian is an empowered person; that means the day you got born again weakness departed from your spirit. Amen.

In Philippians 4:13, the Bible says,  “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” The word strengthens in the Greek is endunamoo¯. That means from the day you received Christ, He became your potential. Therefore, whatever is in Christ is in you because; Christ is in you.

The Bible says in Colossians 1:27, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” That means that all the fullness that is in Christ, is now in you; it means you are full of his wisdom and power. It has been proven, even in psychology that until you believe something, it will never be real to you.

Believe this truth coming to you today and begin to live your life daily in that reality.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for you have made me strong. Every form of weakness has departed from my spirit. I have been empowered by the power of the indwelling Christ in me. I am strong, the word of God abides in me, and I've overcome the wicked one.

Spiritual warfare.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:”
2Corinthians 10:3(KJV)

We live in the realm of the flesh but we do not war like natural men, as a result, we do not war with physical weapons. Though we've got flesh and blood  we do not war after the flesh. That's why we don't use cane to whip witches or some other things that some people do. If Jesus didn't do it, then it is wrong what they do because Jesus is our ultimate example.

The scriptures say in 2 Corinthians 10:3, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:” So, if someone is getting into spiritual warfare and he tells you to use physical weapons, it's already out of line. The devil is a spirit, so if we are fighting with the spirit, then we must use spiritual weapons.

The Bible says to us in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (GNB), “It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.” This is how we fight in order to win in spiritual warfare.

CONFESSION
I release my faith against all the onslaught of the devil against me. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me is condemned in Jesus Name. A thousand shall fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand but it shall not come near me, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Be Specific

“Ask, and it shall be given you, … For every one that asketh receiveth …”      
Matthew 7:7-8(KJV)

A dear man of God for a long time was asking God for a chair, a table and a bicycle. Then, one day God told him to be specific on the kind of chair, table and bicycle he wanted. When he became specific and told God the specifications of the things he wanted, he got it.

You may say, I am praying and believing God for a car. It is important you specify the exact kind of car you are asking for and then receive it in faith when you pray. Be specific when you pray, just like Nelson Mandela who had seen that he was going to be the president when he was a teenager. So think possibilities.

They may have told you it cannot be done, but what do you say? And what do you see? Some of you are allowing your situation to determine how you see your life. You think so little of yourself. You are allowing circumstances to dictate to you the course of your life.

Don't forget that your thoughts amplify your circumstance. So, in other to think the right thoughts, you are going to have to change your thoughts with the word of God. I encourage you to meditate on the word of God until you have new pictures, because those new pictures are what will determine the direction of your life. When God talks to you, He expects you to respond accordingly and see like Him, because once you see it, it becomes inevitable.

This is why Jesus said if you look at a woman lustfully, you've already committed adultery with her in your heart. This is because if the thing happens in your mind, it will happen in your life.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I choose to think your thoughts. I accept your thoughts and I accept your ways. As I fill my mind with your thoughts and as I walk in your ways, I ask that whatsoever I ask according to your will shall be done for me in Jesus Name. Amen.

Thoughts determine expectation.

“… Don't be terrified or afraid…” 
Joshua 1:8(GW)

When you hear a negative report, do not allow fear to grip your heart, but instead hold on to your convictions in the word of God.

It has been proven that before most people have an accident, they have seen or imagined themselves having an accident. That thought of their having an accident would have been flashing in their minds. So, what do you do when such evil thoughts or imagination comes to your heart? You cast it down by saying, “In the name of Jesus I declare that there is no accident for me, no evil shall befall me, and no harm shall befall me in Jesus Name.” Attack it quickly. You attack thoughts with words, because thoughts come from words.

For instance, some persons may be afraid to pass through a particular road because of the negative things they have been told about that road. But if they had not heard of any negative information about the road, they would have always passed that road not expecting anything bad to happen to them. So, our thoughts to a large extent determine our expectations.

Therefore, let the word of God form your thoughts. See yourself healthy, without sickness or disease. See yourself having all your needs met. As far as your eyes can see, that have I given unto you, says the Lord. If you can see it, you can hold it. Now, is the time to start changing your thinking to be consistent with God's word.

CONFESSION
I choose to see myself as God sees me. There is no sickness or weakness in my life. By the stripes of Jesus I have been healed, therefore I live in divine health. I dwell in prosperity because He became poor that I through His poverty might become rich. Therefore, I am rich and abundantly supplied with all good things. No evil shall befall me and no plague shall come near my dwelling in Jesus Name.

Obey Christ 2.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”    
Philippians 4:13(KJV)

Have you obeyed Christ? Have you accepted the thoughts of Christ that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you? In other words, because Christ is in you, you can handle any situation because you've got the ability of Christ in you. His ability has become your ability; He has become your potential. If Christ is in you, all that is in Christ is now in you. So the way Christ would have handled it is the way you're going to handle it. So your thoughts are different now.

If Jesus was the one who handled your business or did your job, how successful will it be? You know your business is going to succeed. Your obedience of Christ by your acceptance of what He has said opens you up to endless possibilities through His power.

The bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” So, obey Christ and say I am rich. I am rich in Christ. I declare it in the name of Jesus, I might be eating this thing now, I might be going through this thing now but I know something, I am rich. Maintain your confession because, as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for I do not lack ability because I have the ability of Christ at work in me twenty four hours a day, every day of my life. That ability makes me a success in all that I do; in my job in my business, in my ministry, in my academics, in my relationships, in my finances and all that has to do with me in Jesus Name, Amen.

Obey Christ 1.

“… and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” 
2 Corinthians 10:5(KJV)

Our opening scripture tells us to bring every thought to the obedience of Christ. How do I do that? By accepting who I am in Christ.

For example, let's say a lady have heard words from childhood that she's got no intelligence, that she is stupid and nothing will come out of her. Now all these things said to her have formed a stronghold in her mind; it has formed an imagination, it has formed a high thing against the knowledge of God and it has become a thought. So, how does she obey Christ in such a situation?

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:16, “…we have the mind of Christ.” So, in spite of all those negative words that have been spoken to her, she says, “I have the mind of Christ, for God has not given unto me the spirit of fear, or timidity or cowardice, but of love, of power and a sound mind.” By accepting what the scriptures says about her, she is obeying Christ.

I remember when I was still in the university doing philosophy and logic. Most people knew me because I was an outspoken Christian. One day, the lecturer mockingly said, “Pastors fail my course.”  As a Christian I knew that was not going to be me. So, after the examinations, he saw me and asked, “What was your result?”

I said, “I got an A.” He said no; “you cannot get an A, pastors fail my course.” He went to check it and came back and I found out I even scored higher than I thought because I choose to obey Christ.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I choose to obey Christ and I take your word as final authority in my life over every other contrary evidence. I thank you Father for as I exalt your word it produces the expected result in my life, in Jesus Name, Amen

His Grace is Sufficient.

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”   
Hebrews 4:15(KJV)

Every one of us goes through one form of temptation or another. Our opening scripture lets us know that even Jesus was tempted in every way yet without sin? He was really tempted, but He was in control because He had convictions. His thoughts were based on the word of God.

You might say I'm not strong that's why I fall when tempted. It's not supposed to be so because the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “…My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” That means the strength of God finds perfect expression in the weak one. So, the strongest of us was actually the weakest of us.

For instance, I used to be very shy but now I can stand before crowds and preach and teach. Before, I could not, yet I was intelligent. If I tried to, I will be mumbling. You see, intelligence cannot stand fear because fear will turn an intelligent man to a babbling idiot. But today, I can stand anywhere and minister intelligently and powerfully, why? It is because His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

So, when you find a weakness, you know His strength will be made manifest there. Imagine how God can transform a lady that used to live in sin and begin to use her to rescue others from sin. It's because that place of weakness has actually become a place where God's strength shines through.

Instead of giving reasons why you should stay there; why the problem should continue, change your thinking, and the only way to do it is by the word of God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because your grace is sufficient for me and your strength is made perfect in every area of weakness. I declare that I am strong and I refuse to give any excuse for any weakness. I ask that your strength and your grace would shine through every form of weakness in my life and make me a trophy of your grace to deliver others having such weaknesses in Jesus Name, Amen.

What do you believe?

“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.”  
 Luke 1:45(KJV) 

We attract to ourselves what we believe, and we become what we believe. For instance, there are some ladies who believe that there is no man that can be trusted; therefore every man they have dated has dumped them because that is what they have believed. So, when they are dumped, they say to their friends, “Didn't I tell you that that's the way men are.” No, “Who told you all men are like that?” There are men who are faithful husbands and I'm one. Believe it and start confessing it and the right man will come to you.  

If you are married and you are having challenges with your husband's character, don't just stop at just praying for him; choose to see your husband reading the Bible, and getting filled with the Holy Spirit. See it and speak it about him and to him. See your husband and call him a born again man despite his inconsistencies. Keep saying it; don't stop talking it. If you are asked by others, “how's your husband?” Say, he's fine, I just believe God is moving on his heart wherever he is.

As your thinking and your words agree, soon your husband will get born again and filled with the Holy Spirit and you will rejoice knowing it has come to pass.

You might have come from a family that has anger issues, don't give an excuse to remain like that by saying, “that's how we are and we can't do anything about it. You are now a Christian, so there can be a change. See yourself as a new creature, because that is who you are, and one of the fruit of the spirit is self control, this means you can control yourself. You're not a victim anymore, so if somebody annoys you, or you mistakenly lost your temper. Don't give up. Keep seeing yourself as a new creature and keep declaring it, before long someone annoys you and you wouldn't react in anger. What happened to you? It's because your mindset changed, so, it produced change on the outside (in your character).

Know this; you are living consistently in line with the picture you see of yourself.

CONFESSION
I believe only the word of God, and I choose to see myself and my circumstances only from the view point of God's word. I banish all fear and doubt from my heart. And I live my life confident of the reality of God's word at work in my life.

What do you See?

“And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.”   
Joshua 6:2(KJV) 

What do you see? Do you see your business moving forward? When I close my eyes I see myself on the biggest platforms of this world.

God told Abraham in Genesis 13:15, “For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.” How far can you eyes see and what are you seeing concerning your life this year?

Have you heard the statement a former Miss USA said after she won the prestigious title, she said that she has seen herself walk down that podium as Miss USA a thousand times before she eventually won the title. So, it was not new to her neither was she surprised because she has walked down that isle a thousand times in her imagination before the main event ever came.

In Numbers 13:32-33, the children of Israel who went out to spy out the land of Canaan came back with an evil report. They said, “… The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

They said they were grasshoppers in their own sight and guess what? God told them that they were going to die in the wilderness. Your imagination is capable of limiting you or crippling your destiny.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I choose to think thoughts that are consistent with your word. I see myself making progress. I see me living in prosperity and health. I see myself walking in righteousness and leading souls to Christ. I see me healing the sick and preaching deliverance to the captives. I see myself walking in dominion, going beyond every pre supposed limit, breaking all barriers and doing the impossible in Jesus Name, Amen.

Meditate.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”   
 Joshua 1:8(KJV)

Meditation is one of the most effective ways you can renew your mind. When you meditate on the word of God, you ponder upon the word of God over and over again in your mind until the truth from the word dominates your mind. When the word dominates your mind, you will then begin to mutter(speak softly) that word to yourself. As you learn to habitually meditate on the word of God with your mouth, it will condition your mind and your actions to be in line with the word of God.

Do not stop meditating until that scripture dominates your mind and influences your actions, such that your actions will be in agreement with the word of God.

Meditation takes time. God spoke to Joshua in Joshua 1:8, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

So, meditate on the word of God, and also spend quality time hearing faith based messages over and over again.

This will cause you to have new imaginations and if your imagination is right and consistent with the word of God, it will bring your to the realm of possibilities. The Bible says in Genesis 11:6; “… and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”

Align your Thinking with God

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” 
Jeremiah 29:11(KJV)

When Moses aligned his thinking to God's command and he acted accordingly by stretching out his rod to divide the Red Sea, God backed him up and the sea was divided.

God already knows His part and He knows what to do. Now it's up to you, are you going to do your part? After the children of Israel crossed the red sea on dry ground, God dealt with the Egyptians that followed them. He had anticipated that they will follow them because He brought that problem there to be solved permanently.

So, you might have come from a family line of poor people but I want you to know that God allowed you to come from that family because God wants to use you to change the story of that family permanently. Say Amen.

Therefore, cast down all negative imaginations. The word imagination also means reasoning. You know some of you have reasons why you are going through what you are going through and why the problem should be there. Some say, the reason why I cannot go to school is because nobody can sponsor me or, the school I want to go to my father cannot pay the fees. Cast down all such reasoning. Go and read well. God can, and will provide for you and take care of you.

Some others will say the reason why I cannot finish school is because my capacity to retain is small and if I read I forget, and I cannot read much. It is so because of your reasoning. Cast down all such negative reasoning and command the headache to go because the Bible says in 1 Peter 2:24, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

PRAYER
Dear Father, I choose to believe your word, and I cast down all negative reasoning contradicting your word in my life. I thank you Father for giving me a sound mind, the mind of Christ, mental sagacity that surpasses all human intelligence in Jesus Name, Amen.

Change your Thinking

“…for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”  
 Exodus 16:3(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows us the kind of thoughts the children of Israel had. They could not see the Promised Land, so they could not enter. That's why when you read your Bible, before God uses any man He changes the way he thinks. This is because if He doesn't change that man's thoughts, that destiny will be crippled.

The Father wants you to know and have this in your thoughts that He has already equipped you with all that you need to handle any challenge that comes your way in life.

For instance, when Moses was faced with the challenge of the Red Sea in the wilderness, Moses cried out to God, but God answered and said to Moses in Exodus 16:15-16, “… Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

God did not throw a rod from heaven; God did not send an angel to jump down. He said, I already anticipated this and gave you the rod.

So, when challenges come your way, it's because the solution was already in you. Because He has anticipated what you will go through and has given you the capacity to go through it successfully.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because I know that the solution to every challenge that will come my way this year is already in me. Therefore, I thank you because you have anointed my ears to hear, my eyes to see, my heart to receive, and to will and to do all the instructions that you give to me in this season.

Pulling down strong holds in your imagination 2.

“Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you …” 
Jeremiah 1:5(BBE)
 
God is never surprised. Your background and challenges do not surprise Him. The Bible says to you in Jeremiah 1:5 that before He formed you in the belly, He knew you. According to the scriptures, the Father already had a foreknowledge of you. He knows you so well; He knew everything about you, then, He set the path of your life. So in this path of your life there are no surprises to God.

When Moses was leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land; the Bible says in Exodus 13:17(BBE) that, “God did not take them through the land of the Philistines, though that was near: for God said, If the people see war, they may have a change of heart and go back to Egypt.” They could have passed through the way of the philistines for it was a shorter journey, but God had already anticipated the problem that if they see war they will run back, so, He took them through the wilderness.

In the same way He already anticipated their thinking, He has already anticipated everything about you. He has anticipated your future and He had allowed you come from that family because He wants the whole world to know through your life that your prosperity is because of His grace and favor which He has lavished upon you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because my life and the circumstances of my life is not a surprise to you, because you knew me before I was born and you predestinated me, called me, justified me and will continually glorify my life in Christ. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Pulling down strongholds in your imagination 1.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)    2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (KJV)

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, in other words, they are not manmade. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. So, how do we pull down strong holds?

One of the ways by which we pull down strong holds is by casting down imaginations. So, a strong hold is a product of the imagination. This means that the guy that's in the strong hold of poverty, the strong hold of sickness, or the strong hold of demonic oppression, is there based on his imaginations. And don't forget this word imagination also means thoughts.

So, the way you are thinking is what opens the door to the devil or opens the door to God. The kind of thought you have determines who operates in your life. Don't forget Andrew Womack's testimony; the minute he discovered the truth that God was not his problem, that God wants to give to him, he began to thank God for His willingness to provide, that same moment God spoke to a member who had never given anything to him before to give to him. So get rid of all erroneous imaginations that have entered into your belief system.

Reprogram yourself

“… but forgetting indeed one [thing], the [things] behind, but reaching out to the [things] ahead.”  
Philippians 3:13(ALT) 

I heard the story of a lady that was from a poor family where she was verbally abused, they said all kind of things to her and as a result, she had very poor self esteem and she began to do poorly in life. She was disorganized and she wasn't doing things well.

One day, she had a car accident and because of the trauma she forgot everything about her past, she didn't know her husband, she didn't know her children, she forgot everything.

Since doctors wanted to know what her condition was, she started researching and she started speaking to doctors about the condition based on her research. This was someone that once had a very poor self esteem and couldn't do things well because of the verbal abuse she suffered in her childhood.

Words became thoughts and those thoughts gave birth to negative actions in her life. But when she lost those thoughts, and she forgot that she had a poor self esteem, she became confident and successful.

It does not matter what you were told when you were young, they may have been damning and negative words, and you may have started acting out those words, but now it is never too late, you can reprogram yourself with the word of God and then replace your old thinking with the new thinking the word of God gives to you. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION
My past is behind me. It is gone and completely past away, because I am now a new creation in Christ with a completely new identity.

Nobody is limiting you.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” 
Ephesians 3:20(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we know that no matter what we may ask for, the Father already has it available for us. He has looked at what you can imagine and He has it available. Nobody is limiting you from what you can have and from what you can do, but only your thinking.

I read a book some time ago and the writer though he was writing from the secular point of view said that he has looked at his life, and observed that there's nothing that he had thought he could earn that he has not earned because he has come to believe that nothing can limit him. If he is able to do this without God, then you as a believer must not be scared to attempt something big. The guy believes and thinks he is favored. That tells me the principles would work for anybody.

The principles of God are universal. If you go on a forty days dry fast, climb onto a roof and jump, there's only one way to go, downward. It doesn't matter who the person is; fat, slim, male or female. The principles of God are no respecter of persons. So, you are not a victim. Saying your life is the way it is because you are from a poor family doesn't count. Your thinking is the issue; it would either liberate you or keep you stagnated.

CONFESSION
I choose to open my mind to God's thoughts. Therefore, I think success. I refuse to accept and think limiting thoughts. I open my mind to God's possibilities concerning all that has to do with me and I declare; that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Amen.

OPERATE FROM VICTORY

“Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”
Matthew 6:26(KJV)

You need to have the right view of God, stop thinking that you have to try to make Him bless you or provide for you. Get to know how much He loves you and has planned for everything you will ever need from the foundation of the world. He has also planned for every challenge you will ever go through.

So, when you face a situation, just tell yourself God has already provided before this thing came. In this way, you are operating from victory instead of to victory. When God made Adam, everything he needed to eat for food was already provided in the garden. That means that everything that man could desire to eat was already there before he was made.

Therefore, everything you will ever need for life and godliness has already been provided for you in Christ. This is why the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:21, “For all things are yours” He says, all things are yours. So, the view of Christianity some Christians have is the Old Testament view of God. Always thinking that God will someday do it for us, but the New Testament view tells us that God has already done it for us.

CONFESSION
The Father has already provided for all that I will ever need in my life. Therefore, I call forth my provisions. I declare that satan is already bound concerning the free flow of all God's provisions towards me. And I release my angels right now to go forth to facilitate all the benefits and provisions that God already supplied to come to me now by free course. In Jesus Name.

Receive

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6(KJV)

Faith is not trying to make God do anything, Faith receives. Faith is the hand that collects from God. Faith doesn't push God, faith receives from God.

Let me prove it to you further. Before you could ever ask for forgiveness for your sins, Jesus Christ had already gone to the cross, died for your sins, provided for your healing; don't forget He also died for your blessing and prosperity before you were born. So, after you were born and you sinned, forgiveness was already available, so you collected forgiveness because forgiveness had already been made available for you in Christ before you were born.

You didn't do anything to get the healing; He says, by His stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24), so now God is not going to heal you because you've been healed even before you were born. So the healing is already available, all that is required of you is to receive it.

Do not wish saying, “One day, I know God will bless me.” He has already done that at the cross before you were born, you only collect it when you are saved. Therefore, your view of faith should not be that of trying to make God do it, but receiving what God has already done.

So now, when you are asking God for something, you're not asking for something that does not exist because God has already provided for all your needs before you were born. Only receive. Praise God

PRAYER
Dear Father, I lay aside all my worries and struggles and I receive your peace into my heart and I speak your peace to reign in every area of my life and over all that concerns me in Jesus Name. Amen.

Be supply conscious.

“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours” 
1 Corinthians 3:21(KJV)

When God made Adam, he didn't make Adam to work for food, the food was already there before Adam was made. That's the way God works, when it comes to provision, God is in the past tense. He's not going to provide, He has provided.

Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

So, as far as God is concerned you are already blessed. Change your thinking. 2 Peter 1:3 says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:”.

We have been given all things. He didn't say, “I will give them.” No, He has given them to us. In Roman 8:32, the Bible says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”  So, all things have already been freely given when He gave His son. So, in truth, God is not going to provide for you, He's not going to give you a house, He's not going to give you money. Why? Because He has already provided it.

So, faith is not trying to make God do things; faith is taking hold of what God has already done. If you have your faith the wrong way, you'll be struggling to get it but all you need to do is to acknowledge what the Father has already provided and begin to live in it.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I release my faith in your unending love and abundant provision towards me. I thank you for you have already blessed me with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ. Thank you Father because the blessing is working, producing results and manifested in my life in Jesus Name. Amen.

Don't limit God with your thinking.

“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”     
Psalm 78: 41(KJV)

They limited the Holy One of Israel and they restrained Him.

This means that you have the capacity to restrain or release God in your life. it therefore means that some of us are releasing God, and some of us are restraining God in our lives.

Someone may complain saying, “I don't know why God has not done this for me.” Since you think God is your problem, the problem continues. But God is not your problem because everything you will ever need has already been provided by God before you were born.

So, when it comes to your provision, God lives in the past tense. God has provided. Whether it is accommodation, finances, whatever it is, God lives in the past tense when it comes to provisions, because He has already provided.

When you were born, you were born with the capacity to breath. When you were born, the oxygen you needed to breathe was already there. Also when you were born, you were born with the capacity to eat. Also, God didn't need to provide the passage for the food to come out, it was already there.

So, when it comes to your provision, be rest assured knowing that God has already provided for all your needs. Amen.

CONFESSION
I declare that I am living in abundance because all my needs have been provided for and supplied in Christ. God is causing all grace, every favour and all earthly blessings to come to me in abundance everyday in Jesus Name. Amen

You and Your Thinking 2

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” 
Joshua 1:8(KJV)

It matters the kind of thoughts that you are thinking. One of the greatest discoveries of my life is to know that you can choose your thoughts.

Knowing that you can choose your thoughts means that you can choose to think the right thoughts. As those thoughts get a hold of your mind and it converts to words, it will affect your behavior and make you successful.

Yesterday, I told you about Andrew Womack. You can imagine that as he changed his mindset that God was not his problem, that same moment, God started speaking concerning his provisions. He said the man gave him the fish, as they were going, the man said; let me also give you some things to cook the fish with. The man gave them potatoes and everything they needed to cook with. Not knowing that they had nothing in their house and they've been starving for a long time because of wrong thinking.

Therefore, change your thinking and every other area of your life would also experience changes that are consistent with your new thinking in God's word.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because according to your word in Luke 1:45, there shall be a performance of those things which are spoken of the Lord unto them that believe. Therefore, I thank you Father for every good word which you have spoken concerning me is coming to pass by free course because I believe in Jesus Name. Amen.

You and Your Thinking 1.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 
Philippians 4:19(KJV)

Do you know that your thinking can affect your provision? Let me explain with this story about Andrew Womack. When he began his ministry, he and his wife was starving, as a result, he became angry at God.

He continued that way until he discovered Luke 12:32, where the Bible says, it is the father's good pleasure to give unto you the kingdom. That renewed his mind and the way he thought about his provision. So, he began thinking that God wants to give to him.

As soon as his thoughts changed based on the word of God, that same afternoon that he discovered the revelation and changed his thinking, a member of their church who was fishing at that time, caught the biggest fish, God spoke to that man and told him to give that fish to Andrew Womack.

Prior to this time, he didn't tell anyone they had needs because when you are functioning by faith you don't need to put anyone under pressure.

That evening, after he ministered in church and was going home, the man came to him and said, “Sir, please would you come home with us?” When they got there, the man brought out the fish and said, “This afternoon, at such and such a time, God told me to give you this.” That was the exact time he believed and changed his thoughts. So, as his thoughts changed, God spoke.

Therefore I admonish you to change your thinking to agree with God's word concerning your provision, and they will be a release of God's provision towards you now. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I lay aside all erroneous and contradictory beliefs and thinking in my heart concerning my provision. I thank you  because I know that you shall supply all my needs according to your riches in glory in Jesus Name. Amen.

WHAT IS A THOUGHT?

“Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer …” 
Job 20:2(KJV)

A thought is an unspoken word. What is a word? A word is a verbalized thought. So, they are related. Thoughts become words, words become thoughts.

As you are reading this right now I am affecting your thoughts. You cannot give permanent change until you change a man's thinking. The Bible tells us of the man that is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he's like a man that beholds his natural face in a glass and he goes his way, and he forgets what manner of man he was (James 1:22-25).

Notice that the man that is not a doer of the word of God is the man that forgets what manner of man he was. The primary issue why he is not a doer and therefore cannot be blessed is because he forgets; that's part of your memory, and your memory is part of your mind.

Some of you have forgotten that you are strong. You've forgotten that you have victory over sin. You've forgotten that you have the wisdom of God in you. You've forgotten that you have a sound mind, you've forgotten. But these words are coming to you to remind you of who you are and to frame your thinking.
This is because it is so important that you have the right thoughts. People who are bound to sin, are bound to sin because of their thoughts, not because the sin is powerful. Therefore, change your thoughts by renewing your mind with the word of God.

PRAYER
Father I thank you for your word fills my heart with the light of the gospel of Christ. Your word is renewing my mind and setting me on the right course always. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Your Best Life 2.

“… For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Matthew 12:34(GNB)

Your thoughts are product of words, and your thoughts decide how you act, because your life will take on the character of your thoughts.

The students in the experiment we looked at yesterday thought they were the best students so they acted as the best students. The teachers thought they were the best teachers so they taught better and they produced the best results. Now, they were the same people but they had a different thinking.

Therefore, if you are going to change your results in the exam of life, you must begin with your thinking. It has been said that, no man has earned financially beyond what he thought he could earn.

Your thoughts decide your heart rate, your thoughts decide the state of your health, and it decides your strength or your weakness. It so important the kind of thought you are thinking. It has been said that your thoughts can even affect your ability to digest your food.

 I heard of an experiment in America that was performed on people who had knee injury. They performed an operation on the knees of a particular number of them with that problem and on another set they did not perform any operation, but an incision was made on their knee as though they did an operation on them.

About a month later, those who did the operation recovered well and their knee had no problem, and those who had no operation carried-out on them, that just had an incision made on their knee as though they did an operation also recovered as well because they thought the operation was done.

Your Best Life 1.

"… Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" 
John 11:40(MSG)

Williams Carrey James, one of the fathers of modern day psychology said that one of the greatest discovery of psychology is to find out that if you can alter a man's thinking, you can change his life. This is because your life will always move in the direction of your most dominant thoughts.

I have often shared the story about some students in the United States of America that were gotten at random from different schools, and they were told that they were the best students from that entire county. Then they got some teachers who were not doing very well on their jobs and they were told they were the best teachers. So, because they were told that they were the best students and the best teachers, after a while, they produced the best results. At the end of the experiment, they got them together and told them that some of them were the worst students and the worst teachers, but just because they thought they were the best teachers and students, they produced the best results.

From that experiment, it is obvious to us that because they believed that they were the best teachers and students because of what they were told, they produced the best results.

Therefore, with the words that God has given to you this year, concerning your dominion and the great things He will accomplish with your life this year, believe those words;think like it and act like it throughout the year and you will surely produce the best results with your life this year. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I believe your word which you have spoken to me and declared concerning me this year. I thank you for your grace is already at work in me to live a life of dominion and to accomplish supernatural feats for your glory this year, in Jesus Name. Amen

RENEW YOUR MIND

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”    
Proverbs 23:7(KJV)  

As you begin this New Year, it is important for me to let you know that God will never be able to do for you beyond what your mind can conceive. So it is very important that you think right because right thinking leads to right believing.

Your beliefs are products of your thoughts and your thoughts are products of words. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” In other words, by your thinking, you're deciding the direction of your life.

Right now, where you are, is a product of the kind of thoughts that you think. Where you are and the way your life is a reflection of your thoughts. It is so important that we understand that our real issue is not the devil because he has been defeated according to Colossians 2:14, Hebrews 2:14.

This is why the Bible says to us in Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind …” So the change you desire must begin in your thoughts. God spoke to me and said, “Permanent change is impossible in any man's life until you change his thoughts.” This is because your mind set decides from the outset the outcome of your life.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I ask that as I submit my heart and my mind to the influence of your word to me today and throughout this year, may your living word produce in my life what it talks about in Jesus Name. Amen.
