Declare and Decree!

There is power in the words of our mouth. Watch what you say to yourself and the people around you.  Cultivate the habit of speaking positively to your life and the lives of others. Don't use your own mouth to negate yourself, instead use it to encourage and establish yourself. Don't underestimate yourself. Don't rule out all possible options to live a fulfilled life. Declare and believe that greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world and that you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you.

A woman shared her testimony of a new executive job with a reputable organisation. She saw the job advert and observed that she was qualified for every other requirements except the years of work experience. She loved the job and the organisation, she also believed in herself and recognised that she has a special grace as a child of God to decree and declare and it will be established. She then began to decree and declare that the job is hers and that she will be favoured beyond human comprehension. She applied and after she has forgotten about the application, she received a phone call inviting her for interview. She was amazed but grateful to God and once again she began to decree and declare that as she goes for the interview everywhere the foot of her legs tread will become her possession. Just as she declared, she possessed the job and was asked to resume immediately.  

Your situation may not be the same as this woman, but the most important thing is to faithfully declare and decree good things into your life. Speak the word of God into every situation and watch your situation take a new and amazing turn for your good. Don't always be pessimistic, be optimistic. Don't always see a dead end, see an end that lead to a new beginning. Therefore, are you seeking for a job? Decree that the Lord will establish and prosper your ways, he will order your steps and make all things to work together for your good. Are you in School? Decree that you will be a success and not a failure and that wisdom and understanding will be your portion. Are you seeking for promotion? Decree that promotion comes neither from the east or west but from the Lord and so the Lord will lift your head high. Are you fearful of what tomorrow holds? Decree that God knows the plan he has for you, they are plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Finally, start now! Declare and decree into your life, the life of your spouse, the lives of your children. Speak positively into your present and your future. Boldly say to yourself; it is well with my soul. Decree that the peace of God that passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil 4:7). Decree that you will not lack anything good (Psalms 34:10). Decree that the Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to (Deut 28:8). Declare that in all these things you are more than conquerors through him who loved you (Rom 8:37). There are thousands of decrees and declarations in God's word, maximise them and do not short change yourself!!!!!
