God has plans for your future
God has plans for your future
"Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a (prosperous) future for the man of peace." (Psalm 37:37).
You have no choice where your past is concerned, it is gone. You have no choice about your heritage, you were born without a vote in the decision. You, however, have a choice about your future. God has given you a sure plan for a prosperous future. Your choices daily are the bridge towards your future.
God has a prosperous future for His believers:
1) Be blameless. The choice is yours. It is not possible for you to be blameless by yourself but since it is a requirement, God has provided for you the gift of His righteousness. "God made him who had no sin (Jesus) to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21). Believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and you will be saved, blameless.
2) Be upright in character. The choice is yours. You can create values and shape your character for a prosperous life, "Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars." (Proverbs 9:1). Jesus is the greatest role model for upright character and success. He grew strategically for a determined end, "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52). Like Jesus we are intentionally growing in seven CHAYIL Pillars for a holistic prosperous life: worship, wisdom, power, honor, favor, wealth, influence. Let us each day nurture a good character by the choices we make until a good character becomes our nature.
3) Choose peace. Peace is a gift from Jesus to you, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27). Choose to live in peace, be at peace with others, and guard your heart. Let Christ rule in your heart as you create and rule your world.
Kingdom Declaration:
My heart is an altar for Jesus Christ to rule, guard, and prosper with His peace.

The LORD is your Shepherd
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27).
We often go through problems without knowing the voice of God. There is a battle in our minds as we try to sort out our thoughts, conscience, imaginations, and emotions. God, however, is willing to speak to you every day and even in every moment. The Holy Spirit of God in you is gently speaking and guiding you. We are growing in the knowledge of God and to know His voice. His voice is gentle, loving, and kind towards you.
The Word of God speaks to you. The more you know His Word, the more you will hear His voice speaking His Word in your heart. He will bring the Word to your remembrance whenever you need it and whenever you listen for it. His Word will guide you, correct you, encourage you, comfort you and instruct you. As you read His Word, listen to His voice. As you hear His voice be willing to obey.
As you listen to the voice of your Shepherd He promises you His guidance, provision, and protection. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." (John 10:27-28). Jesus Christ, your Shepherd loves you.

The LORD Jesus is my Shepherd who is guiding, providing, and protecting me.

God is in control of your life
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." (James 1:2).
Consider how an oyster makes a pearl. When a grain of sand gets into its shell and irritates it, instead of resisting and resenting it, the oyster wraps it in layer after layer of beauty until a pearl is formed. The very person that is irritating you and the very thing that disturbs you can either make you bitter or better, the choice is yours.
You can either be fearful or faithful; frustrated or filled with peace, the choice is yours. You can either be worried or standing on the Word; hateful or pursuing humility, the choice is yours. You can either be vengeful or victorious; plotting evil or planning for good, the choice is yours.
The truth is: if you trust in God He will work out all things for good and prove in your life that Satan is still not strong enough against a believing Christian. Whatever comes your way, God is in control of your life. He is your Alpha and Omega, your Beginning and the End. Trust in Him and let His beauty be formed in you as pure joy.
Kingdom Declaration:
God is in control of my life. I live by faith.

Fear is ahead of you
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10).
Do not allow fear to paralyze you and render you inactive. King Saul and his entire army allowed fear to paralyze them because of the violent threats of a giant called Goliath. None of his trained soldiers had the guts to step out in faith to fight Goliath. A decision to do something, is the antidote to anxiety, depression, and fear. Fear neutralizes your power within. Fear negates your power of faith. Fear exaggerates the power of your enemy. Fear uses lies and deception to intimidate you, because fear is afraid of you.
David, on the other hand, heard the same words of intimidation from the giant Goliath but reacted with faith instead of fear. He conquered fear and the champion Goliath with a stone and a sling: "As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground. So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him." (1 Samuel 17:49-50).
Fear is afraid of you. Have faith in God, and take a step of faith into your miracle. Just a little stone with your step of faith will destroy all obstacles to your glorious victory.
Kingdom Declaration:
The glory of the LORD within me is strong and mighty to give me victory over my enemies.
