“Don’t take your capacity to SPEAK into your tomorrow for granted…not as situation demands but as commanded.” – Apostle Johnson Suleman
It’s the last Wednesday in this special but strange year where most believers will readily agree that what helped them to maintain focus was the Word of God either through personal study or revealed during Church services due to the volume of uncertainty and information pertaining COVID-19 from various channels such as the internet, TV, social media, friends and family.
As we prepare to step into 2021 gallantly, it is imperative to move from ‘surviving’ mode to a ‘thriving’ mode by consciously practicing healthy habits daily in order to attain better health outcomes. Just like a healthy balanced diet is made up of varying proportions of daily calories: Carbohydrates (45-55 percent), Protein (10-35 percent), Fat (20-35 percent), Vitamins and Minerals (trace quantity); so also your wellness should be balanced around your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental wellbeing not just on exercise and nutrition. Another way to understand wellness is to view your health as a continuum that extends from illness to a state of wellbeing where wellness is 100 percent driven by self-responsibility.
As the Bible states, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”, it’s best to start your wellness journey from the foundation of scriptures as you integrate other components of wellness into your daily schedule.
Small changes like speaking prophetically over your life every day can go a long way in building and maintaining your wellness paradigm. You can start this today with this charge from Apostle Johnson Suleman:
“Everyday of your life, your capacity to continually speak into your tomorrow: DON’T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
When you sit down in your house and you say, ‘I will be rich’: don’t take it for granted.
When you sit in your house and you say, ‘I will be a billionaire in 2021’: don’t take it for granted.
When you are cooking in the kitchen and you are saying, ‘my children are great, my husband is blessed, my home is blessed’: don’t take it for granted.
It has potency, it has power, it has stamina, it has capacity.
Despise not prophesying, no matter what you are seeing. It doesn’t matter the challenges. In Ezekiel chapter 37:7, ‘Ezekiel said, so I prophesied as I was commanded’ (not as situation demanded) but as I was commanded.
Not as my health demanded: but as I was commanded.
Not as the condition of the Nation dictated: but as I was commanded.
Not as the Naira rising or falling to the dollar dictated: but as I was commanded.
As spiritual men, we don’t move as demanded, We Move As Commanded: God said it, I believe it and that settles it.
Ezra 6:14
And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the PROPHESYING of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they BUILDED, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.”
Amos 3:8
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but PROPHESY?
1 Thessalonians 5:20
Despise not PROPHESYINGS.”
