*In life, God has created a distinctive path for each one.
Never be envious of anyone else, be grateful for their testimonies!
The testimony of others is the assurance of the outcome that you expect. Somebody else has a particular testimony that seems enviable, be grateful for them: In doing so, you are positioning yourself for your own testimony.
Seeds differ in life: there are seeds that bring forth in 3 months, some bring forth in 1 year, some bring forth in 5 years but each one’s seed brings forth at a particular time as long as it is appropriately catered for. The Cocoa seed will think it is frustrated if it is looking at corn because within 3 months, corn has come out. But if the Cocoa knows that it is Cocoa, it will know that eventually, the Cocoa will come out of it and it will become valuable in the long run.
Please take not of this, your life has something to produce: just stay planted and focused on God.
Refuse to compare yourself with others. It is foolishness according to scriptures (2 Corinthians 10:12)
Never compare your life with others.
1 Corinthians 7:24
Settle with God, refuse to compare yourself.
“Oh, this one built a house and I was expecting to build a house”: Refuse to compare yourself.
Just abide with God. It is one of the major reasons for depression in our day and age. People are continuously depressed and they oppress themselves because they are comparing themselves.
Please take note of this:
- The sky is too wide for 2 birds to collide.
- That somebody is up, it’s not the reason why you are down.
Refuse to be depressed. Keep your eyes on Him. Those who wait upon the Lord, they will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings as eagles (Isaiah 40:31).
Just abide with God and you are bound to take flight.
Refuse comparison, focus on the goodness of God as it concerns you because where you are now is somebody else’ prayer points: NEVER FORGET THAT.
There are people born on the same day you were born, they are alive, but it is as if they are not living, so you better be grateful, be thankful. Offer gratitude unto God. Your intelligence is not what qualifies you for a change of level; your skill does not qualify you for a change of level. Where you are now is not your connection, it is the hand of God. Therefore, maintain gratitude.
From this day onward, no depression, no heaviness will be found around us again.
Today is the 2nd to the last day in this year: God has been faithful. Many started the year, but they are not here anymore.
God has kept you, preserved you, blessed you, increased you.ChurchGist.
He has supplied your needs, strengthened you.
He has advanced you. Will you give glory to God? Let your voice of gratitude be heard on high this morning.
From this onward, the backing of God’s presence will be evident in every department of your life.
SPEAK TO THE DAY:
The year is ending, it has not ended yet and He crowns the year with His goodness, all His paths drop fatness (Psalm 65:11). There is goodness loaded in this day, there are blessings loaded for this day – speak them into manifestation, declare them into delivery.
Speak to the day, it answers on your behalf, according to your decree.
- As you have declared this morning, so shall it be unto you in the name of Jesus Christ.
- The day is declared open as a day of testimonies.
- We are entering into the final moments of this year, the final blessings are released upon your life in the name of Jesus Christ. So shall it be in Jesus precious name.
