My Declaration: I Am Healthy Wealthy And Wise

What are your declarations? Do you want to be healthy, wealthy and wise? It is a perfect combination to have if you are to enjoy your life in this world. Health is wealth and is wisdom to maintain a good health at all times. The question is” how do you get to this most desired state?” This article gives you the secret to health wealth and wisdom.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2 (KJV)

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says – Mark 11:23 (NKJV)

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)

People’s desire and I believe that includes yours too, is to have long life and prosperity and good health to enjoy them all. However many people have one of them and lack the others or two of them and lack the other. But God wants you to have them all.

God wishes above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. He wants you to enjoy the life that He has given you to the best you can. And like every manufacturer, God has a manual on how to achieve this. One of the instructions given to us is that WE SHOULD ONLY SAY WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN LIFE. Our declarations are very important.

The scriptures say in Mark 11:23 that if you say anything and not doubt in your heart but believe that those things you said will be done, you will have whatever you say. That means also that what you say in your heart is what you will have. So your heart and your mouth must be in agreement. However, your mouth must speak out what you want for you to have it. This is because with your mouth salvation (freedom from the effects of the fall of man) comes to you – Romans 10:10

Now, does it sound foolish to you? Are you wondering how speaking out your desire can make you get it? Surely, to human reasoning it makes no sense but it is the creator’s manual. God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. If you can imagine how higher the heavens are from you, so also are His ways and thoughts higher than your ways and thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9. Read more...

12 Ingredients For Success In Spite Of All Odds

Are you struggling with what you are doing and feel like quitting? Life is full of challenges. Learning to get through them is a major key to being successful. Without trials, there will be no triumph and without tests,there will be no testimonies. This post is aimed at showing you the ingredients you need for success in spite of all odds.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. – John 16:33 (NKJV).

 

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant – Job 14:7-9 (NKJV).

Many people are tired of living; they have struggled for a long time with no tangible result to show for all the efforts. Some have attributed their situations to their family background, illiteracy and poverty, and so have resolved to take it as their fate. However, the truth is that there are many people who have gone through worse situations and emerged successful.

Let’s consider some examples to inspire you:

A) From the scriptures

1. Daniel (Daniel 1-6)

He was a noble Jewish youth of Jerusalem who was taken into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. However, he rose to be a major leader in Babylon who served under three or four rulers. He was highly preferred of other leaders. He prospered in a foreign land where he was supposed to be a slave. Surely, he succeeded against all odds.

2. Joseph (Genesis 37-50)

He went from the pit, where his brothers first put him, to Potiphar’s house as a slave; then from Potiphar’s house to the prison for committing no crime, except for refusing to lie with his master’s wife. Finally, he got to the palace as the second in command in Egypt. He went through trying periods before his success even though God showed him earlier that he was going to be above his brethren and that they would bow to him. Read more...

It Doesn’t Have To Happen The Way You Want It

Do you think that your faith is not working or God is not answering your prayers because your prayers have not yet been answered? Don’t be dismayed, the Lord is watching His word to fulfil it in your life (Jeremiah 1:12). However, you must know that it doesn’t have to happen the way you want it. This post explains more on this truth.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts – Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV).

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise – Hebrews 10:36 (KJV).

Many times Christians expect their lives to be 1 + 1 = 2. They expect that when they have followed the instructions of God that God will answer them immediately as they want. However, it doesn’t always work like that. God knows the best things for you and will always do or give them to you if you will trust Him. You need to exercise patience when you have done the will of God to receive your heart desire (Hebrews 10:36).

God’s thoughts and ways are higher than your thoughts and ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). He is the Alpha and the Omega and so knows the end from the very beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He knows your future and the things you need and when you need them to be able to fulfill your destiny. Trust the Almighty Father. Waiting on Him will always culminate in higher glory.

In Daniel 3, the three Hebrew boys trusted God to save them but they didn’t know how He was going to do it. They still held on to their faith and declaration even when they were carried to be thrown into the fire. However, God was waiting for them in the furnace. At the end, the name of God was highly glorified and the three Hebrews boys were promoted.

The Lord will not give you what will not be beneficial to you or what will derail your path from your destiny. Silver is a precious stone, but Gold is more valuable than it. God would prefer to give you gold at the appropriate time than to give you silver now and then you miss the gold later. Read more...

One Thing To Be Mindful Of As You Mind Other Things

What is the most important thing in your life? This determines what you do daily and what you mind daily in life. Many people mind more what profits them more. However, there is one thing to be mindful of as you mind other things. This post is aimed at revealing this one thing, which gives the highest profit ever.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels - Mark 8:36-38 (NKJV).

While on earth, we need to mind so many things: our families, jobs, businesses, health, friends, etc. These are all very important. However, what we value most determines what we mind more. We tend to spend more time on this thing compared to others. Many people spend more time trying to make themselves comfortable on earth. This is good but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of our comfort after this life.

Surely there is life after this life (Matthew 25:46), and this second life is forever. Therefore, being mindful of only things that pertain to life on earth is not wisdom. This is because the number of years you may live on earth is merely like a drop of water compared to eternity wherever you end up after death, heaven or hell. You prepare for where you will be after now while on earth.

So, as you mind the things that will enable you to enjoy your life here on earth, ensure you also mind this one important thing: your relationship with Christ. Every other thing is secondary. Your relationship with Christ determines what comes to you now and after death. Surely, we will all leave this earth one day. It is wisdom to be more mindful of the life after now. Read more...

Understanding The Wisdom Of Joy

Are you always joyful or is your joy determined by your mood or what you possess per time? Joy is an important virtue every Christian should have if you want to be on top of all circumstances and enjoy the blessings of the Lord. This post aims to give you better understanding of the wisdom that lies in acquiring and maintaining your joy.

Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation – Isaiah 12:3 (NKJV).             

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! – Philippians 4:4 (NKJV).

Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation – Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV).

Many people have reasons to give for not being joyful and they are ever eager to tell them to you. The enemy has so bombarded people with challenges and in the process succeeded in stealing their joy, which is a vital weapon in overcoming the enemy and his attacks. If devil can’t steal your joy, he can’t continue to keep what belongs to you.

When the enemy first attacks you, his major target is your joy. Once he takes your joy then he has power to keep stealing from you. However, if you refuse to let go of your joy he would be forced to restore whatever he had earlier taken from you. Therefore, it is great wisdom to guard your joy at all times. Choose to retain your joy no matter the circumstances around you. Put action to your joy by rejoicing evermore. Rejoice in the Lord always.

Reasons To Guard Your Joy

1. Joy is the bucket you use to draw water out of the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3).

When your joy is in-tact it becomes easy for you to locate your escape route from any oppression of the devil, no matter how hidden it may be. Without joy you will be so engulfed in that challenge that you won’t be able to see the helps God had stationed around you or be able to reach out to God to save you. Read more...
