The Promise of a Beautiful Life

Be Fruitful!
“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” – Genesis 1:28 Your divine mandate from God is to expand, take charge and dominate the earth around you. You have already been blessed with a fruitful mind to manifest this mandate. Your mind is a very powerful tool to create and execute things. It’s like an incubator where God sows seeds of ideas, aspirations and their possibilities. As with all plants or ideas, you have to care and nurture those ideas so that they grow fully and bring you a good harvest.
You become a vessel through which God can demonstrate His power and counsel when you act on instructions and directions from Him. What has God put in your heart this year or even years back that you are yet to act on? I charge you to obey and follow through with those things. The fruits that will come will bless God’s kingdom, your generation and many generations to come.
Confession: I am a fruit-bearing vessel for God’s kingdom and for my generation.

Open Your Mind
“And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.”- Genesis 11:6 When God created man, He made him in His likeness. This means you and I have the same abilities to create things and proffer solutions to problems. But sin has tried to corrupt and doom the human mind to constant failure and darkness.
One of the reasons Jesus came was to reconnect us to God and to the great capabilities He deposited in us. Your mind is so powerful that it’s your responsibility to keep it open to only God if you want to enjoy His marvelous help. Don’t let it hinder anything God is set to do in you. Open up your mind to a bountiful year!
Have a blessed day!
Confession: My mind is unlimited. I utilize it and access the available resources inside of it to fulfill God’s will for me and the world around me.

Create an Expectation
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”– Galatians 6:9 Expectation of God’s promises is the breeding ground for miracles. To enjoy marvelous help from God, create an expectation in your heart and spend time brewing that expectation in the spirit. Don’t get distracted and be ready to follow where He leads you. You will encounter challenges on the way but those are to help you grow.
Growth is not automatic. It requires intentional actions – that’s why you must constantly walk and live by the Spirit. When you do, you’ll be able to maximise the power available to you and prepare yourself for best experiences ahead. Today, set an expectation in your heart stemmed from God’s word and look out for the miraculous! Have a blessed day!
Confession: I am intentional about my growth and I have an expectation in my heart to see the miraculous happen to me this year in Jesus’ name.

Deal With It
“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” -Romans 8:29 What you do as a child of God can either aid or detract you from what God is doing in this season. Some of the things that could cause detractions are having a wrong mindset and attitude towards life. Let’s pick low self-esteem for example, it comes from a place of guilt and condemnation, which is as a result of sin. The remedy to counter this, is to constantly remind yourself that you are born again and a child of God, and that you are forgiven. Jesus has already taken all your guilt and shame away, therefore, you are not condemned by that sin because God’s word is alive and active in your life.
Refuse to be complacent about your life. It can make you seem helpless to things happening around you and this is a serious limit to the move of God. He has already predestined you for glory and riches which means there is no room at all for poverty and helplessness. If you are struggling with these habits, deal with it with the word of God. Dissolve its power today with the power of God’s word and come out victorious!
Have a bright and beautiful week ahead!
Confession: I stand forgiven and I am already set free. I live the life God has called me to live and I enjoy all He has promised me in Jesus’ name.

Recipes for Winning
“And Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, … He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.”– 2 Chronicles 26:3a & 5
To enjoy God’s unlimited supply of help and resources, make sure you cultivate these habits and lifestyle with God. First, always seek Him through fellowship – never start your day without Him. Secondly, study His word – it is in there you find promises, weapons, ideas, help and answers. Thirdly, fast – you have to subject your flesh and its desires to the will of God and do away with distractions and limiting factors around your life. It’s in this place you get a deeper insight of God.
Our Lord Jesus prayed every day, at every opportunity He had. He fasted for 40 days at the beginning of His earthly ministry, just to get in alignment with God’s will. When you pray, study God’s word and fast, it is not to bribe God but to submit to Him and His will. The fabric of your heart changes, improves and aligns with everything He wants to do with you and puts you to the winning side. Enjoy a season of constant wins in Jesus’ name. Have a wonderful day.
Confession: I win, I win and I win again this season in Jesus’ name.

The Beautiful Life
“Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Who are you, O Great Mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it.” – Zechariah 4:6-7.
With God, having a beautiful life is not a far-off dream. It is a promise and our reality as God’s children. What is it that you need in God? Is it courage? Authority and power? Wealth and prosperity? Peace and contentment? You can find all these things that make a beautiful life in God. You only need to meet Jesus once and choose to follow Him.
Think About It: If you are still unsure about this beautiful life in Jesus, please say these words and mean it with all your heart. ‘Dear Jesus, I have been told You make all things beautiful. Please come into my life and give me peace. Set me free and make me whole. Living water, let me drink of You so that I will never thirst again. I surrender my life to You. Please mold me into something beautiful and pleasing to you. Amen.

The Power of Synergy
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing – life forevermore.”- Psalm 133:1- 3
Some effects of slavery that the nation of Israel endured were a fearful, restrictive and distrusting mindset. In fact, they became so distrustful that they couldn’t even recognize when real help came. The result of this is stagnancy and no collective or individual advancement. Some are just like the Israelites today, they pray for help to come out of the ruts they find themselves in and when help comes, they are too limited in their minds or too distrusting to see it.
You must take responsibility for your progress and engage divine assistance to turn things around for good in your life. But you cannot do it on your own, you need to work with people to achieve purpose. The Bible says that it is good and pleasant for brethren to dwell and work together. It has never been heard of that a person achieved true greatness on their own. God loves synergy and so if you must win this year, win with God and with others. Don’t do it in isolation. You can’t know it all or have all the answers. Together, we can achieve greatness! Have a wonderful day.
Confession: I open my heart to receive help from God. I break free from limitations in my mind and by divine wisdom, I resolve all trust issues. I enforce the help of God and of people this year in Jesus’ name.

Set Your Hope in God
“That the generation to come might know… That they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments”- Psalm 78: 6-7
For you to see God’s promises manifest, you’ll need to have unwavering hope in what He has said about you. You will have to work diligently and in obedience to His instructions because God’s character is strong and capable, and His words are unfailing and dependable. He is the only one who can help your destiny and even raise you to become a destiny helper to others.
Also, don’t think that age is a barrier for God to fulfill His promises to you. Many people have given up on their dreams and visions because they thought age had eluded them and so they lost hope. Abraham was over 80 years of age, when He gave him the promise of a nation and even much older when He fulfilled that promise. King Uzziah was 16 years old when God used him to bring national restoration and advancement. You are not too young or too old for God to still bring your dreams and visions to pass. Keep engaging Him and set your hope on Him. He will not fail. Have a blessed day!
Confession: I will set my hope and my eyes on God and I will see everything He has said about me come to pass in Jesus’ name.

A Promise of Marvelous Help
“Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord… He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God, and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. So, his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.” – 2 Chronicles 26: 3, 4, 5 & 15 God’s resources are unlimited. He has the ability and unrivalled power to give you all you can possibly need. There was a King named Uzziah, who ruled Israel at the age of 16. It was recorded that he achieved a lot of things for his country and for his people because he enjoyed marvelous help from God. But it’s important to note that this King did right by seeking and honouring God first. As long as he sought God, he prospered and enjoyed favor.
Once you get God involved in everything that concerns you, you align yourself with God plan for you. Furthermore, you will not only be able to achieve great things but fulfil destiny. Don’t limit God this season, cultivate His presence and enjoy marvelous help! Have a wonderful day.
Confession: I enjoy great help in the area of my health, my job, my home, my business, my marriage and all-round, just like King Uzziah did, in Jesus’ name.
