The Purpose & Power Of Writing: You Are In Charge – Begin To Create!
Study The Word
Psalm 115:16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
We have learnt a lot of amazing principles and truths from God’s Word in this series that, when consistently applied, will make you an undeniable master over all things. They strategically put you in absolute charge of your life! They put you in charge of the circumstances that attempt to dictate your existence. You stop being addicted to problems, constantly reacting to external pressures, and instead, you start living a purposeful and consistently victorious life, every single day! This is the abundant, triumphant life you have been unequivocally called to live!
God doesn’t desire for you to be perpetually going from one pastor to one prophet to the next apostle, desperately trying to look for a word, or waiting for someone else to declare your future or to give you direction. His desire for you is to grow and to take charge of your life. God wants you to get up, take a big plain board and write in big bold letters: “I am great! I’m called for greatness! I’m going to be great!” And then you put it on your wall in your room, in your office, in your diary, or even also in your bathroom or on your screensaver. And then everyday you get up you see it and read it out boldly to yourself, “I am great! I’m called for greatness! I’m going to be great!”. And when people around you, who don’t understand this stuff, question you, asking, “What are you saying? What is all this?” Don’t worry, you just keep doing it and you tell them, “Just watch me!”.
So you are the one that is to decide! God is waiting for you to decide, because “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.”
You make the conscious, faith-filled decision that from today and this week going forward, “My life will be different,” and you set out a program for yourself to apply these principles daily.
The very moment you take that unshakeable stance, and begin to put these things into practice that is precisely when God says, “Yes, let’s go!” and He emphatically backs you on it, ensuring with His divine power and support that the principles of His Word produce the results they speak about!
People often don’t truly understand that God is unequivocally for you; God is actively waiting for you to take this stance, to use the authority He’s given you, the principles He has given you! The moment you decide, “By the end of this month, there will be a significant, undeniable change in my life,” the moment you take that bold, faith-filled stance, and begin to daily put the principles into motion, God, in His infinite faithfulness, immediately gives you the divine supply, the necessary resources, the supernatural connections, the perfect wisdom and guidance to make it happen for you.
It’s not a prophet that ultimately makes it happen; you are the one that makes it happen through your activated faith and decisive action! You see?
You don’t have to wait passively for a prophecy from a prophet for your life to change. You don’t need the pastor to lay hands on you, or the pastor to pray a specific prayer for you to move forward. No! Now you are the prophet of your own life the one who will be like, “Okay, I desire this change in my life, and in that area of my life and I know what to do.”
Then you proactively take actionable steps, applying these divine principles, and then you make things happen. You make things happen! You don’t have to wait for the prophet to prophesy. If a pastor or a prophet or an apostle ever does prophesy, great! It should be just further confirmation of what you and God had already started; so don’t put all your hopes and dreams on that. If the man of God doesn’t give you a prophecy or lay hands on you, great! God has already given you His more sure Word of prophecy in the written Word of scripture for your life, and He wants you to take charge of your destiny and begin to use it!
Nowadays, you’ve got a whole world of people, even within the body of Christ, who are perpetually waiting for prophets to come and say something, for some external intervention. Do you truly think that’s what God wants for His children? No! God wants you to be in charge of your life! As those who have taken on the pursuit towards maturity: “…unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” (Ephesians 4:13)
He’s given you the keys! Jesus Christ wasn’t going around from place to place looking for prophecies. What was He doing? The bible says in Luke 4 “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, …20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Do you see how Jesus applied the principles here? Whooo! Glory!
Now, you yourself, from your room, from where you are right now, you decide that your life is going to be great! You don’t have to wait for a prophet to come and tell you that your life is going to be great, as if you have no agency. If you ever bump into a prophet and they say “I see greatness, God says you are going to be great”, you say “yes I know, thank you for the confirmation Sir”, Hahaha!
Listen, greatness is not by accident! It is not by luck or chance! You have to decide to say “Yes!” to your calling. Being in Christ and as Abraham seed, it’s too late to want to decide if greatness is for you or not. Greatness is your birthright in Christ. God already made that decision for you, so you actually don’t have a choice but also you do-if you intend to make the prophecy of the Word to work. Genesis 12:2 He said “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”
This is your calling! Greatness is your destiny, don’t shy away from it.
Now, God wants you to decisively decide, “I am great! I am the embodiment of greatness! God has made my name great! My life is going to be great! I am blessed, and I am a blessing!!!” Ayaaa!
Listen, I don’t know about you but “I am great!” Haha!
And the very moment you determine that in your heart, and you write it down and begin to declare it with your mouth everyday, rehearsing it to yourself, it becomes so—not because somebody prophesied, not because someone else intervened. No, it’s because God has given you as a born-again child of God the inherent authority and the divine power to make yourself great through the application of His Word and principles! This is your glorious birthright in Christ! Step into it today!
Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, I thank You with a resolute heart that I am undeniably in charge of my life and my divine destiny. I steadfastly refuse to wait for others to prophesy or pray for me; instead, I take my unshakeable stand in faith, armed with Your divine principles. I declare right now that I actively make things happen in my life by Your inherent authority and power residing within me, and I consciously choose greatness for myself, knowing with absolute certainty that You will back me unequivocally, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Speak The Word
I am in charge of my life! I decide my greatness, and God Himself unequivocally backs my decision. I do not passively wait for prophecies; I actively create my reality through my faith and actions. I am powerfully empowered to make things happen, and my life is a living, breathing testimony of God’s authority flowing mightily through me! I am a force for divine change!
