PRAISE HIM FOR HIS GOODNESS
“Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our God shall bless us.” (Psalms 67:5-6 KJV)
We have all heard this statement over and over. When praises go up, blessings come down. But have you stopped to think about it? Have you looked at it from the scriptural standpoint or is it just another cliché for you?
Beloved, the world is in a cup of trembling. Every formula of man has failed. All the postulations and projections have fallen flat on the face of mankind. Many people’s hearts are failing them. Some have even gone ahead to commit suicide because they cannot bear what they see. But thank God you belong to an unshakeable Kingdom. In this Kingdom, when men are cast down, you will boldly say there is a lifting. When the hearts of men are failing, you can talk about peace even in the storm.
Beloved, this is worth thanking God for because it is one thing to be in the storm, and a different thing for the storm to be inside you. The greatest gift of all after salvation, is for a man to have peace with His maker and peace with himself. That is the benefit of salvation. In the book of Psalms 103, the Psalmists starts by declaring: “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” (Psalms 103:1-2 KJV)
Think about it! For which of these blessings can you pay? Which one can you buy? Is it the forgiveness of sins, or the healing you enjoy? Can you pay for the air that you breathe, for sound mind? Everything we enjoy is because of His great mercies. Think about the way He redeemed your life from the pit, and above all, He has crowned you with steadfast love and mercy.

DAILY CONFESSION
God is on my side. He has given unto me all things that pertain unto life and godliness; therefore, I am a partaker of His divine nature. I have entered my season of rejoicing. It is for me a time of joy and celebration. Nothing shall cut it short. I am like an olive tree and my children surround my table. Together we sing for joy. The entrance of Your word gives me light and understanding. Order my steps in your word. (2 Peter 1:3, Psalm 128:3, Ps 119:130,)
The Lord will not allow iniquity have dominion over me: I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Though my beginning was small, my latter end shall greatly increase. (Ps 19:13, Job 8:7)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
It is my day of Rest!
