2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV)

For our light affliction which is but for a moment worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

In the Kingdom of God, you express the joy of the Holy Spirit! Never allow even a moment of being downcast; it is inconsistent with the life God intended for those who follow Him. Despite this, many Christians settle for happiness based on the happenings around them.

Christ saved you from being bound by feelings. Therefore, you must live above the circumstances and choose to optimize the joy God has given you freely through Christ Jesus. Optimizing God-given joy means fully taking advantage of what God gave you when you became a born-again follower of Christ!

The principle of the Kingdom is what you see is what you get. When you look with your optical eyes and things are not how you want them to be, lift your sight! See with the eyes of the spirit; view your situation from the perspective of the One who has delivered you from it! Live above your situations today, and adopt a joyful nature rather than a life fuelled by your feelings!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am optimizing my God-given joy! I live above the circumstances around me. When I see things I don’t like taking place in my life, I switch from viewing them with my optical eyes and use the eyes of my spirit instead!

James 1:2

Acts 2:38 (NIV)

Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Every relationship is built on communication! Whether it’s a relationship with your spouse, a relationship with your children, or even business relations, no relationship will survive without exchanging dialogue. In the same way as a child of God, you must be joined in comradery with the Holy Spirit!

Many suffer the tribulations of this world alone simply because they do not know there's an Ever-Present Help who is ready to assist them at any point. The Holy Spirit is a personable being, meaning you must speak to Him like a person! Tell Him all about your day, your struggles, your achievements; tell Him everything and anything! He's there to help you.

The Holy Spirit is a precious gift given to you freely the moment you accepted Christ! When the Holy Spirit is truly on the inside of you, there is no other power you will ever need because the very source of power Himself resides on the inside of you! A healthy relationship with the Holy Spirit is quintessential to living the best Christian experience. Next time you wake up, greet the Holy Spirit!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The Holy Spirit and I are joined in comradery. He prays with me, and I converse with Him daily. Amen.

ETERNAL EXCELLENCE

John 3:16 (NIV)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The verse above is among the most recited verses in all of Christendom! Despite this, many do not fully understand what was meant by this powerful passage. When the Lord Jesus ministered this message, He did not mean eternal life only in the sense of living forever!

Whilst this is an aspect of what is given to you as a child of God, the words "eternal life," in their original rendering, translate to Zoe, meaning life as God has it! The eternality of His description has to do with His endless power, His endless mercy, His endless ability, His endless knowledge. Whatever is consistent with His divine nature is eternal! When you were born again, that same life was imparted on your spirit!

Christ has given you the God-kind of life; this means as His child, you have been designed to live a life of eternal excellence! Failure is not in your genetic make-up; you have an endless capacity to be excellent and do great in any and every arena in this year of Milk and Honey!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I have been given the God-kind of life! I have endless capacity to receive countless wonders in my life! I live a life of eternal excellence in Jesus’ mighty Name!
