DAY 19 (MTD ANNUAL 21 DAYS FAST)
TEXT:”Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5)
I want to assure you by the word of God that God has the best for you and I this year 2024. God has the best job, best home, best marriage, best relationship, best business, best connection prepared for you this year but, you have to run your life as intended by God (vision) to enjoy the best of God this year. When you live your life based on a vision received from God and not based on your own desires, what other people think or on the world’s standards, then and only then will you experience the best God.
What is vision? In this context, vision is the revelation of God’s intention concerning you. Why is vision so important?
- IT GUARANTEES DIVINE DIRECTION
Vision guarantees a profitable direction in life. That is, you can’t miss your way following God/vision. You can’t be killed following God’s direction. Vision orders your steps to where it matters per time.
Below are some biblical examples of men that were directed God through vision:
Firstly, it was vision that guided Joseph and Mary into Egypt to escape Herod’s plan to kill baby Jesus (Matt 2:13-16). Secondly, it was vision given to Prophet Agabus who foretold a devastating famine that was to come that helped the disciples to prepare and to overcome it (Acts 11:28-30). Thirdly, it was an angelic vision given to Paul during a storm that gave the crew enough encouragement to sail on to safety (Acts 27:22-25). It was in a vision that the Holy Spirit spoke to Paul warning him not to go to Asia. Paul immediately changed his plans to comply with the Lord’s instructions. Shortly after, God showed him another vision of a Macedonian calling for help. So, Paul re-charted his course, headed for Macedonia, and God blessed his ministry. Vision will always give you divine direction.
Now, it is scripturally proven that God answers when we call. Jer 33:3 says so. But how do we lay hold to these answers? As mentioned yesterday, give quality thanks to God. What else?
- SPEAK OUT YOUR ANSWERS (Prov 18:21). After prayers, what we say is vital in determining what we will see in reality. In order to have your answers delivered in the physical, you must make bold declarations in line with your expected answers. If what you say is contrary to what your expectations are, the answers won’t come. It is time to express your expectations with your declaration.
PRAYER: Every answer you call forth today shall manifest in your life suddenly, in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION:
This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.
DAY 19 PRAYER GUIDELINES (BOLD DECLARATION).
- Father, thank you for the 19th of this prayer and fasting, in Jesus name (1Thes 5:18).
- Spend time to declare and to call forth your answers. As you say it you will see it, in Jesus name.
