REMAIN STEADFAST IN THE FAITH
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith… 1 Peter 5:8–9

We were taught that if you wanted to resist the devil, you had to rebuke him. So whenever an evil thought came to your mind or you were tempted, you would say, “I resist you, devil, in Jesus’ name! I bind you! Go away from me, devil! I rebuke you!” What happens is that you end up spending more time talking to Satan than to God!

You become more conscious of the devil than of God. The Word of God says that we resist the devil not by focusing on resisting him, but by being established in the faith that we are the righteousness of God through Jesus’ blood. Yes, the devil will continue to remind you of your mistakes, past failures and sins. He will tell you that because of these things, you cannot be healed or blessed. He will accuse, condemn and push you down. But the truth is that Satan cannot enforce anything in your life if he cannot persuade your heart. And your heart cannot be persuaded if it is “…steadfast in the faith.”

When your heart is established in faith, you can boldly declare, “Yes, I may have sinned in the past, but now I am justified in God’s eyes by faith. Because of what Christ has done, I am righteous!” Beloved, that is how you resist the devil and become undevourable!

Prayer
I thank You Father for the blood of Jesus that washes me and makes a new creation. I thank You that I have become undevourable unto Satan because I am righteous in Christ. I pray that I will remain in the faith and become more conscious of Your presence. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

SOMETHING BIG IS COMING YOUR WAY
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? Isaiah 43:19 (NLT)

God’s plan for your life is not for you to reach one level, get stuck and stay there for 10 or 20 years. His plan is to increase you, open new doors before you and take you places that you have never imagined. He has something big in your future! He has already planned out big breakthroughs, big opportunities and big ideas for you.

You may have seen God’s goodness in the past, but you have not touched the surface of what God has in your future! Listen, what God is bringing your way cannot be seen with your human eye. It is about time you get into the Spirit, get into prayer, and with the eye of faith, behold the massive construction work God is doing in your life. And when He is done with you, you will be moved from one level to a higher one. What people said cannot be achieved, you will achieve it in a matter of days and the levels they thought impossible, you will go pass it!

The new thing is going to be far greater than you’ve ever seen before. It’s going to be bigger than you imagined. It’s going to be more rewarding than you thought possible. Get into agreement with God today. Watch out: Something big is coming your way today. Receive it!

Prayer
Father God, I thank You for loving me and choosing me for Your good purposes. I choose to set my affection on You today knowing that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace and strength as I wait patiently on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SPEAK TO YOUR MOUNTAINS
And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. Matthew 21:21 (AMP)

We all have seasons when the challenges of life feel overwhelming. During those times, it is easy to be tempted to talk about how bad things are. Maybe it is a bad medical report you received or a financial obstacle you’re facing. But understand that the more you talk about something, the bigger it becomes in your mind.

Instead, identify your stand in God and refuse to give life to that defeat. Confess that you are not going to allow the imminent symptoms of sickness, lack or fear take over your thinking because you refuse to talk about them. Rather choose a different report and start believing in the report of the Lord which says that you are blessed, favored, prosperous, healthy, whole, a victor and not a victim. Bear this in mind that the promises of God for your life far outnumber the challenges that you are going through so make a choice to confess promises instead of problems!

Even if you don’t see how things could ever work out, God does. You’ve got to speak to those mountains in your life and declare favor over those situations. Instead of talking to God about how big your problems are, talk to your problems about how big your God is! As you speak to your mountains, they will be moved and victory will be yours!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word which is life to my spirit. I receive Your strength today and choose to speak to the mountains so I can move forward in the victory You have in store for me. I overcome every intimidation from the past today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Reference: Matthew 17:20; Luke 17:6; James 1:6

GET YOUR JOY BACK
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 Peter 1:8 (NIV)

Have you experienced something that has taken your joy and enthusiasm for your future? Has there been a recent setback in your life that stole your joy and made you contemplate ending it all? Today is the day to get that joy back! God has you here on purpose and for a purpose. It’s time to get excited about your future and learn to enjoy each and every day.

If you don’t make the conscious effort to keep your joy, not only will the enemy rob you of the joy that belongs to you, but he will rob your family and friends of the gift that you have to give them. When you have joy, you can use that joy to influence the people around you for good. Joy is strength, and when you have joy, you can offer strength to the people God has placed in your life. Don’t allow the enemy to sap your strength by stealing your joy. No matter what comes your way, protect that inner joy you have because you are a child of God!

Today, draw the line and decide, “I’m not going to live another day negative, discouraged and bitter. I’m going to put on a smile and rejoice in the Lord.” Choose to keep your heart open and let your faith in God fill you with inexpressible and glorious joy!

Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank You for Your love. Thank You for choosing me and molding me into Your image. Today, I invite You to fill me with Your inexpressible, glorious joy so that I can be a blessing to the people You have placed in my life. I boast in You today in Jesus’ name, amen.
