Declarations for August 2022
If you’re thinking to yourself, how did we get to the Eighth(8th) month of the year? Well, you are not alone in that stream of thought. The days and nights are passing us by with such speed. All the same, let me ask you - how has your year been thus far? Are you still trusting God for those things you hoped to see happen in your life this year? It’s probably looking like it might not happen isn’t it? Well, here’s a message from the Lord for you and I want you to declare it with me:
2 Kings 3:17-18(A) AMP
For thus says the Lord, ‘You will not see wind or rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, so you and your cattle and your other animals may drink. This is but a simple thing in the sight of the Lord…
Don’t stress yourself out looking for the signs to be assured that your promises and prophetic declarations will be delivered. If the Lord has said, believe that He will bring it to completion. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,

Endure, For The Crown
James 1:12 AMP: 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines ENDURANCE as “the ability to withstand hardship or adversity”. There is also a saying that “only the fittest will survive” this race called LIFE. I wish I could tell you that life is a bed of roses but it isn’t. Life throws so much at us and sometimes it can even feel like you’re drowning. Here’s the good news about the trials and temptations we face in life: they build us up and take us to the next level if we are able to stand and overcome them. Trials increase our capacity for life and give us stamina to withstand. It grows us and we gain wisdom through them.
If you are currently experiencing any trial of any kind, if you feel like you can’t go on any longer, let this scripture press deeply on your heart. Have faith and stand firm and you will see the victory of the Lord. There’s a crown of life at the end of it so I pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the strength to make it through this season. AMEN!

He Gave Us BLESSINGS
Welcome to number Seven (7). The Seventh (7th) gift we received through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ as revealed in Revelations 5:12 AMP is BLESSING. “Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
Seven (7) is a number of completion - where God settles and perfects everything that concerns us. The blessings of God are real and tangible. I am a daily recipient of this grace and if I have to share my testimonies, you’d be reading daily for another year or more. Proverbs 10:22 ESV declares that “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it”. This scripture is true and yeah! God can truly favor a man and bless him or her with all blessings in heavenly places and His blessing will not destroy you. It comes with a level of peace and joy that’s inexplicable. If you can start counting all your blessings and number them, you’ll be amazed what God has done. When He opens a door, no man can shut it. When He blesses you, no man can reverse it. Joseph in prison was still a blessed man. You could be hiding in a cave somewhere and if the blessing of God is upon you, you’ll still be blessed.
If you are desiring to see God’s blessings in your life, declare with me like Jabez and let’s call upon the God of Israel, “‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!’” (1 Chronicles 4:10).
And God has granted us this in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
