Devotion 104

Job 22:28

(28) And thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and light shall shine upon thy ways.

This scripture has become such revelation to me over the years as I have walked the faith road. God is waiting for us to decree a thing and then He dispatches His angels to have that thing accomplished. The problem I found is that people will declare their intention to embark on a certain course of action and as soon as trouble comes the change their talk or they start looking for escapes such as, “Oh, it maybe is not God’s will.” Listen to me today; nothing that you do that has Kingdom value will just come easily. The enemy is not going to just sit back and watch you accomplish God’s plan for your life. The bible says in John 10:10 that the thief, the devil, always comes to steal, kill and destroy and therefore he will challenge you all the way.

We need to spend time with God and find out what we should do and then we decree it with our words. Once we decree it with our words we will start experiencing the opposition. Even on this outreach we encountered many challenges and the enemy tried to stop us at every corner, but we continued going the way we planned because we knew God will support us. If we start deviating we will lose sight of the original intent and soon we will be going down a way of compromise.

Decide that you will do the right thing, declare it, put your head down and start going. Do not change the outcome by speaking words of doubt and unbelief while you are going down that route. It is so important that we walk the faith road with patience and endurance as it is the only that we will see the victory that Jesus purchased for us.
