Divine Counsel

Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established. Proverbs 15:22

It is only the unwise that rejects a good piece of advice. This is true even more when it is the counsel of the Holy Spirit. God has blessed us with all that we need to make right decision and judgments. We have the Word of God, the Holy Spirit and ministers of the gospel to teach and instruct us in the perfect way. This is why we cannot afford to make avoidable mistakes.

Proverbs 14:12 says that “there is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Whoever denies the rich counsel of the Lord has inevitably accepted the way of death. This is because God is the originator of all plans and purposes and He alone knows how each of them can be fulfilled. Psalm 33:1 says that “The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”

We must acknowledge that God has given us His word which is light unto our path and lamp unto our feet. He has given us the Holy Spirit to live in us; He is our inner counsel and He teaches us to know all truth. Finally, God has given you His servants – ministers of the gospel – to instruct us according to His words. For these reasons, mistakes are alien to the believer. Receive divine counsel today!

Prayer

I thank You Lord that You have available unto me everything that will enable me to live the higher life here on earth. I thank You for Your Word, Your Spirit and Your servants. I now know that I cannot make mistakes in life because I seek counsel. Be glorified in Jesus’ name. Amen.

It Shall Not Come Near You!

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7

When a doctor asks you, “Do you have a family history of cancer?” and you respond, “Yes,” he will probably tell you that you might get some form of cancer too. If you don’t know God, you may agree with the doctor and start worrying about your health. But God’s Word says, “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.”

Even if you have a family history of a particular condition which has destroyed many of your family members, you can have the confidence in God’s Word and declare that it will not come near you! Beloved, God wants you to know that even though you are in this world, you are not of this world. You belong to Him. You don’t have to get caught in terrible situations along with the people of the world. Because God is on your side, “He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.” Even when it comes to generational diseases, you can boldly declare: “That disease stops here!”

When you believe God and His Word, you will see His promises, and not adversity, come to pass for you. A thousand (diseases, recurring failure, poverty and negative situations) may fall at your side; but it shall not come near you because you are a conqueror!

Confession

I declare today that a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. No negative condition is permitted to remain in my domain today and forever. I invite only goodness, mercy and abundance to chase after me all the days of my life.

The Gracious Hand of God

Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me...Nehemiah 2:18 (NLT)

Have you ever thought about the fact that the victories you saw in your past weren’t just your own doing? When you made it through a difficult time, when you received an unexpected promotion, when things turned around for no reason, it was because God favored you. You wouldn’t be where you are if the gracious hand of God was not on your life!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have as much education as someone else. It doesn’t matter how influential your family is. It doesn’t matter what your background is. God’s favor can take you where you could not go on your own. When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He places something undeniable on the inside of you. Something that cannot be measured, that cannot be put on paper, and definitely cannot be explained. It is the Holy Spirit and His favor that is shining down on you! Other people may not be able to figure it out. All they know is that you have got something — that’s the greater grace of God.

Today let this truth sink down deeply into your heart. Don’t be discouraged by what you can see, be encouraged by what you can’t see! Put your chest out and go out with faith and confidence knowing that His gracious hand is upon you! And never forget that 2012 is your season of the greater grace!

Prayer

Father God, I thank You for Your gracious hand that is upon my life. I bless You today for all You have done in my past, today and in my future. I love You and trust You in all things knowing that Your favor surrounds me like a shield therefore I have no fear. I bless You in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You Have It!

...his favor lasts a lifetime...Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

Friend, success in this life isn’t necessarily about how popular, influential or educated someone is. Success is about living a life of excellence in obedience to God’s Word. When we step out to do what God has called us to do, scripture says that His favor surrounds us like a shield. When we have His favor, we have everything, and we have an advantage for success!

God’s favor opens the right doors. His favor propels us into our breakthroughs. The favor of God causes us to accomplish what we could not have accomplished on our own. It gives us, the heirs of salvation, an edge. Now, if you are going to see the gracious hand of God at work in your life, you can’t go through the day feeling intimidated, thinking that you are a mediocre, looking around and comparing yourself to everyone else. No, you have to live like you have His favor, think like you have favor, talk like you have favor, walk like you have favor, dress like you have favor!

Not arrogantly. Not in a way that portrays that you are better than somebody else, but with a quiet confidence knowing that you have the favor of God on you! Live like you have got it because you do! Remember that Romans 4:17 says that your God “…quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were.”

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your grace, favor and mercy upon me. I praise You today because You are good. I receive Your truth by faith and rise up to walk in my calling. I know that You are going before me to prepare the way as I walk in Your favor all day long in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Put Off The Old And Put On The New

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self...Ephesians 4:22-24

When we put off the old nature and put on the new self, we are positioning ourselves to operate under the atmosphere of possibilities in Christ. Increase becomes so real in our lives. When you put off, you separate yourself from something or get rid of it. Bible tells us to put off deceitful desires, corrupt attitudes and old ways of thinking.

Child of God, there are certain attitudes and negative thoughts that you must put off or reject just in the same manner that you put off dirty clothes. These are attitudes that made life unhappy, miserable, corrupt, dead, selfish and restless for you. If you are willing, the first step in putting off the old self is by recognizing these old attitudes. The next step is to recognize the wonderful possibilities of the new life God has designed for us. Then also you will need to renew your mind with the Word of God and begin to align your ways with God’s.

Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” As you daily renew your mind, you will begin to live and think like God and conform to His image. When we put on our new self, we exhibit the life of God and we live in possibilities.

Prayer

Father, I thank You that You have called me to a new life in Christ Jesus and this new life opens me to a life of possibilities. Please help me to understand and put into practice this great principle of putting off the old self and putting on the new. Thank You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
