It is the will of God for every child of His to have
and experience glorious futures that manifest His promises that are yea and
amen in Christ. Such futures however do not fall on anyone like bags of
cherries. They have to be diligently sought out from the Word of God,
prophesied and acted upon. This is to say that you have the capacity to
determine your future if you sit with God on a daily basis to work out that
glorious future which He prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
That explains why God in His infinite wisdom always speaks to the future of His children and
you can do same by speaking to your future ably assisted by the Holy Spirit as
you feed on the Word of God. The Word of God always has the capacity to
germinate in the heart of the righteous, flourish and produce harvests of an
abundant glorious future.
Therefore,
call those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans Chapter 4 verse
17b) in the place of prayer with God. That is prophetic praying.
God has
given you everything you need to fulfill purpose. Your task is to call forth
the resources from the realm of the spirit to manifest in the physical so you
can use them. God had given the land of Canaan to the Israelites but they had
to journey from Egypt to the land as well as dispossess the people living
there. That was why they engaged in physical travel, and physical battles. In your
case, your battle is to call forth the resources you need which God has
graciously provided. Your weapon of war is the sword of the spirit which you
are to declare daily at all times, to ensure a release of the resources from
wherever they are and from whoever may
want to hold on to them. Please see Daniel Chapter 10. Daniel fasted and prayed
for 21 days. Hold on to God in prayers, fasting, prophetic declarations of the
truth of God’s word as well as prophetic actions. And always remember that the
word of God does not return to Him void. Please see Hebrews Chapters 11 verse 3;
1 verses 1 to 3, Romans Chapter 4 verse 17 and 2nd Kings Chapter 4.
You may argue that you have a negative past that may hinder you from
experiencing God’s glorious future for you. Perhaps you should ask the Apostle
Paul how he transformed from Saul to Paul. Please see Acts Chapters 9 verses 1
to 29; 26 verses 1 to 32. In spite of
what he did to the early Church, God spoke to a beautiful future for Paul. How
about the Apostle Peter? He denied Jesus Christ three times yet the leadership
of the early Church was given to him because Jesus Christ had spoken to Peter’s
glorious future in prayers and prophetic utterances.
Perhaps you are fearful like Gideon or even timid like Timothy. All you
need to do is to agree with God that you are a person of great valor, confident
and bold to take on the world and shine. Therefore, speak to your future. Plant
the seeds of tomorrow’s greatness with the Word of God irrespective of how
negative the past was. The Word of God that you speak to your future today will
overwrite whatever the past would have done to your future. Just as a farmer
takes quality seed to plant on fertile ground that receives abundant water expects
abundant harvests that span years, so also will your daily prophetic utterances
spoken with a clean heart yield harvests of a glorious future for several
years. For instance, you may plant an
orange seed and reap an orange tree or an orchard that will yield several
oranges for several years if that tree/s are not cut down. So also will the
fruits of your divinely inspired prophetic utterances span generations if
Christ tarries.
Finally, no one moves forward by walking backwards. So also are mental
processes that focus on the past, particularly dwelling on an unpleasant past
that leads you downhill. The truth about
the past is that the past cannot be erased or unwritten. However, it can be
archived where it belongs, the past. Do not celebrate yesterday. Rather look at
celebrating tomorrow by speaking to tomorrow today. Shalom.
