THE DECLARATION OF FAITH


I declare that God is bringing about new season of growth. You will not get stagnant and hold on to the old. You will be open to change knowing that God has something better in front of you. New doors of opportunity, new relationship, and new levels of favour are in my future.

Sometimes the very things that we fight against, the very things that we think are trying to pull us down, are actually the hand of God trying to push us into a new season. God will stir us out of comfortable situations and He’ll put us in situations that make us stretch-situations that force us to use our faith. We may not like it. It may be uncomfortable. But God loves you too much to just leave you alone.

Just as God can supernaturally open doors, sometimes He may supernaturally close doors. Nothing happens by accident. God is directing each of your steps. That means if a friend does you wrong, if you go through setback, if you lose a loved one, you can either embrace that change and God will use it to take you higher, or you can resist it and you’ll end up becoming stagnant and settling for mediocrity.

Stay open for change. Don’t approach change from a negative point of view. All change is not bad. It may be negative on the surface but remember, God would not allow it if He didn’t have a purpose for it. He will use it to stretch you and to hopefully push you into a new dimension. You may be in a perfectly fine situation for years, but all of a sudden you will see a stirring taking place.

May be you thought you’d be in your job for another twenty years, but for some reason the people who were behind you are not behind you anymore. You don’t have the favour you once had there. It seems like every day is an uphill battle. What is that? That’s God stirring things up.

It’s easy to become negative or bitter: “God, why is this happening? I thought I had your favour.” But a much better approach is to just stay open and know that God is still in control. If you will embrace that change, the winds that you thought would defeat you will actually push you to your divine destiny.

Maybe you are in a relationship, and deep down you know the person is not good for you. You know this individual is keeping you from being your best. But you may think, If I make a change I will be alone. You don’t want to rock the boat. That’s why sometimes God will turn the boat over. God may force you to move forward, not because He’s mean, not because He’s trying to make your life miserable, but because he has such a great desire to see you reach your full potential.


So at times He may cause a friend to walk away. He’ll stir things up and may even allow a friend to do you wrong, because He knows if He doesn’t close that door you will never move ahead. Thirty years later that person would still be dragging you down, keeping you from your destiny. God would not have stirred it up if He didn’t have something better in store. Don’t fight change; embrace it, and you will step into the fullness of what God has in store for you.

God bless you

DON’T WAIT FOR A TITLE OR POSITION TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE

Image
Too often we pursue titles and positions more than living to fulfill the purpose of our life, thinking we’ll feel good about ourselves when we have them.  “When I make it to General Manager, when I get that senator position, when I get that Bishop title, when I’m the head usher, the senior partner, the lead supervisor…” That’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with titles, but you don’t need a title to do what God has called you to do. Don’t wait for people to approve you, affirm you, or validate you. Use your gift and the title will come. IF David would have waited for a title, we wouldn’t be talking about him today. When he went out to face Goliath, the whole army was watching him. And what’s interesting is that David wasn’t a general. He wasn’t a corporal. He wasn’t a sergeant. He wasn’t even enlisted. He didn’t have a title, a name badge, a uniform, or a single credential. He could have said, I can’t do anything great. I don’t have position. I am just a shepherd. Nobody is celeb

LOOK IMPORTANT-IT HELPS YOU THINK IMPORTANT

Remember, your appearance “talks.” Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like a kind of person you want to be. You can usually spot a wrong kids just by the way he looks. Sure it’s unfair, but it’s a fact: people today judge a young star by appearance. And once they’ve tabbled a boy, it’s tough to change their minds about him, their attitude toward him. Look at your boy. Look at him through his teacher’s eyes, your neighbor eyes, could the way he looks, the clothes he wears, give them the wrong impression? Are you making sure he looks right. Dresses right, everywhere he goes. It cost little to be neat. Dress right, it always pays. Remember: look important because it helps you think important and also it’s help you to think big. Use clothing as tool to lift your spirits, build confidence. An old psychology professor of mine used to give this advice to students on last-minute preparations for final examination: “Dress up fo

Your blessing will come to you at the right time

Image
  What God has planned for you is much bigger than anything you’ve ever dreamed. Of God were to show you right now where He’s taking you the favor, the promotion, the influence it would boggle your mind. You may think, as I did, that you’re not the most qualified. You don’t have the personality or the talent. That’s okay. it’s not going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, or your hard work. It’s going to happen because of the commanded blessing on your life. God’s anointing on you is more important than your talent, your education, or what family you come from. You could have less talent, but with the favor of God, you will go further than people who have much more talent. You may not see how this can happen. It doesn’t seem possible. But you don’t have to figure it out. If you’ll just keep being your best right where you are, getting to work on time, doing more than you have to, being a person of excellence and integrity, the right people will find you and the rig
