YOUR DECISION MATTERS STILL….

“I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” – Philippians 4:13

The bigger truth about your spiritual identity is that you are a god in your domain. Just like God created the whole world for his pleasure, so you also can create your own world as you like. Therefore, it is true that we are created great and can, in fact, do all things through Christ in us! This is so because we are imbued with extraordinary power to create our reality or dreams. We are of the image of God! The truth about this statement is lost on many of us, the reason being that we do NOT actually believe in our abilities to actualize our desired dreams. The missing link has always been that, while we may have faith in God to make a way for us in the wilderness, or to bring forth water for us in the desert, we actually do NOT put ourselves in a position to take advantage when the opportunities come. No matter the promises of God, and the number of hours spent in prayers and fasting to actualize those promises, we still have to make a physical move to actualize what we want. If we do not take the appropriate decision, nothing will shift! Some of us pray so much and fast every day and still, nothing has changed. It is because we are yet to take the right decision. You take the right decision when you prayerfully take the right step in the right direction of what you have prayed for. What prayer and faith do for us is to activate the power of God in us for inspiration, idea and the knowledge to attract the necessary opportunities we need in the circumstances of our dreams.  Jesus gave an important principle of actualizing prayers which is often misinterpreted. Jesus says in Matthew 7:1-8 thus: “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened”.  

Therefore, to actually our desires, we first ask in prayers by faith. We then move forward in the search of our dream, ably guided by faith. Knocking the doors of others, ably guided by confidence in God, is simply to inquire the help of others in the things that we need. All three – Ask, search and knock constitute a line or a chain of action that must be done together each time we are pressed for a need. Therefore, we don’t ask in prayers, without making efforts to search for what we need. Likewise, we cannot knock all over the place without first asking God in prayers! After you have asked God first, in prayers, take the right steps believing God for His word. We are rewarded according to our abilities and the efforts we put into realizing our dreams. Therefore, the lame, the blind and the deaf will get their rewards in prayers. Even though these ones cannot move, see or hear, still, God will reward them according to their abilities in taking the right decision! (John 5:7)

PRAYERS

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, today, I assume my divine authority and power and I now create the dynamics of my life according to your plan and purpose for me.  Lord, I take authority over all the elemental forces and I am unstoppable in creating my dream world NOW. Father, today, I silence and rebuke every opposing voice and hands, set to thwart or rebel against me possessing my dream world. I retain every good thing I create, all for my pleasure and to the glory of God the father. Amen.
