Declarations For October 2023
Welcome to the tenth (10th) month of 2023. I found this on “Kingdom Culture’s Pinterest” concerning the month of October.
“Judaism - Cheshvan (October/November) is the 8th month in the Hebrew calendar. The root of the word Cheshvan is “chash”, which in Hebrew means “quiet”. The very name commands us to be still, to be quiet.”
This is what the Lord is saying to you and I this month:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalms 46:10. The lord has won this victory for us. The Pantocrator has already ruled in our favor. For the integrity of His name, He will bring everything to perfection this month so that the world will know that He is God. Just as He spoke through Moses, we will just stand still and watch the LORD rescue us this month. Anything that represented Egypt (slavery, bondage and captivity) in our lives, we will never see again. (Exodus 14:13 paraphrased).
I decree and declare it is so and so it is in JESUS’ name. AMEN!

The Fruit of Gentleness
My mom usually says that when you have the spirit of God in you, sometimes people can mistake you for a fool because you become meeker and your reactions are quite tamed from what the world will expect. She also adds that you become fire and ice at the same time. I always have the picture of Jesus as the lamb being dragged through the streets of Jerusalem to Golgotha. Then I also picture Him as the lion when He goes to war on our behalf. There were moments in Jesus’ life that he was not gentle with humans when they went against the agenda of God. One of such is John 2:15-17 (MSG)
“Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right. He told the dove merchants, “Get your things out of here!”
Having the spirit of gentleness in you gives you a great balance when it comes to people. You know when to act and when to stay still. You develop a high level of emotional intelligence and you have control of situations and not the other way around.
I pray for you this week that the Lord will breathe upon you that gentle spirit. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

The Fruit Of Faithfulness
I believe in God because He is faithful. As believers, sometimes saying that God is faithful sounds like a cliché, but I pray we never get tired of hearing it. His steadfastness and loyalty to His word is what makes Him faithful. He does what He says He will do. No word from Him ever returns to Him void until it has accomplished what He sent that word to do. (Isaiah 55:11 paraphrased). The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 1:9, that the “God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is FAITHFUL.
If your Christian walk is void of miracles or desired expectations, it does not mean God cannot keep His word. Be reminded daily of this scripture; "I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I the LORD speak the truth; I declare what is right." (Isaiah 45:19 ESV).
When the Spirit of God dwells in you, He helps you in keeping your steadfast trust and loyalty to God. Honestly, even in our human relations, how easy is it to stay faithful and loyal? Especially when you’re dealing with a person who does not reciprocate faithfulness and loyalty? BUT, the God we serve, Him you can count on. When the whole world despises you, He’s still God of your life. You can run away, hide, turn to sin and yet, when you return to Him, He’ll throw a party to welcome you back. He is faithful and He will remain faithful to eternity.
I pray for you this week that you God will continue to show Himself FAITHFUL to you and your families. May He count it worthy to bring everything He has spoken concerning your life into manifestation. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
