Do not doubt!

By Lawrence Achudume

You are to open the day with a prophetic worship confession but often time, people open their day with wrong words and wrong confessions. Our God places great value on words, He made the heaven and earth by words. He expects us to speak what we want done.

Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: Numbers 14:28

When believers say wrong words and it manifests, they look for the devil to blame or they become accusers of both the devil and brethren. We must guard our mouth and use it rightly.

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Ecclesiastes 5:6

Select your words because they determine your day.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. James 3:6, 10

Many believers carry yesterday’s problem or challenge into today and tomorrow. They carry on with the complain they had yesterday, as they woke up in the morning; they continued with it from where they stopped yesterday. They poison their zeal and enthusiasm to fight the day’s battle with yesterday’s problem. Even though they prayed before they went to bed but when they woke up, they carried the old problem not the answer because of unbelief in our God who answers prayers.

Unbelief is dangerous, it leads to deception and deception leads to destruction. Jesus performed many miracles, convincing people of His identity so they could have a basis to believe in Him. Before His return, the anti-Christ, empowered by Satan will be loosed on the earth and a time of great deception and apostasy will occur.

Those people who hate the truth will buy into his deception, precipitating their ultimate destruction. Meanwhile, believers must stand firm holding tightly to the truth in a world of falsehood and deliberate deception. The church must always be on guard declaring the truth to see the truth.

If you will command and rule your day, you must believe what God has said about you and say it to God not to the situation and expect the result. Sometimes we speak to and talk the problem instead of speaking what we want to see. God saw darkness in Genesis chapter one but He said, let there be light and light came. Speak what you believe and want to see. It is with the heart that we believe and with our mouth we confess, declare them unto result.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10

Is it not strange that Prophet Elijah told wicked Ahab to go, eat and drink for I hear the sound of abundance and he went, ate and drank waiting for the rain? He didn’t ask “from where will the rain come from because there has been famine or where the sign of the rain is?” He heard the Prophet once and went home, obeyed and believed but the Prophet’s servant had to go seven times before he believed it’s about to rain. Is this not the true character of many born again Christian who always want proof and certainty? No wonder the servant’s name was not written for us to know.

And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,

 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said,There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.

And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 1 Kings 18:41-45

 The servant of the Prophet even when he saw his master bow his knees to pray to God of heaven and with all he has seen, yet did not see faith neither did he speak faith even as it is written.

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17

But that the Prophet knows his God, three negative responses can quench a man’s faith and probably rise up from his prayers but he made him go back seven times because he was not weak in faith.

 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations…

 And being not weak in faith…He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Romans 4:18a, 19a, 20-21.

You have the power to command your day. It is when you speak into your day that you can change your world. There are forces that want to rule and control your day and what happens in your day. A closed mouth leads to a closed destiny, open your mouth and speak to your day.The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.

Jesus ruled his day by His words, God ruled by His words so we are to do also.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”    Romans 8:11

Do not eat the bread of sorrow, pay the price to wake up early and command your day to give to you that which you want. God had told the old man Simeon that he will see the saviour of the world before dawn of the evening of his life. But he had to rise early to be at the temple or else he probably will not depart the earth in peace.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. Luke 2:25-30

If you want to see the Lord’s salvation, make the sacrifice to rise early.
