“…You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways…”Job 22:28 (NKJV)

Having established the importance of making decrees, I discovered that one challenge that God’s people face regarding making decrees and seeing results is that they do it in doubt. So when they don’t see any results, they don’t continue. They get discouraged and never attempt the idea again. 

I remember counseling several people who say: “I made a declaration but nothing happened”. Now, the reason nothing happened is that the decree was not made from a place of faith and it was not done consistently. Beloved, if you truly want to see your decrees come to pass, you must speak in faith, knowing that words carry the power of life and death. Remember, a double-minded man, the Bible says is unstable in all his ways and he can never receive anything from God (James 1:8). Therefore, you must make that decree or declaration without fear or doubt. One of the ways to develop your faith muscles is to dwell daily on the scriptures because faith comes by hearing.

Also, as you develop yourself to make decrees in faith, you must develop an attitude of never quitting until you get results. If you have made declarations once and nothing happened, don’t stop there. Continue until you get results. And if your results are not coming forth, you can add fasting to it, but the bottom line is that you must be deliberate and take it seriously. If you do this, you can rest assured that your decrees will definitely come to pass.

Sometime ago, I noticed a discomfort in my hand. So, I would speak to it from time to time and command it to go; but even after I did that, nothing changed. However, I knew it had to go because I was operating with knowledge. I knew that the longer I spoke to my hands, it would have to align with my words because I was also using the name of Jesus. Now, guess what? After a while I forgot that discomfort was there. So, one day the Holy Spirit reminded me to check and when I did, the discomfort was gone. Beloved, I have many testimonies like this and if you would make those decrees steadfastly, you will surely get the results you need. Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

As long as you continue in making that decree over your life, it will surely come to pass!

CONFESSION FOR TODAY

I decree by the mercy of God, that my decrees and declarations are prevailing and becoming a reality in the name of Jesus. Nothing shall stop me or discourage me from making declarations because I know that it works. Hallelujah!
