Romans 12:2 (KJV)

And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…

We live in a world where being different is often shunned. Many seek to fit in, to be relevant, and to please people rather than God. But God is raising a generation that refuses to live by the world’s standards, a generation that does not seek validation from the world. The Bible reminds us we are not of this world, just as Jesus was not of it.

Just because something is widely accepted doesn’t make it right. Look at Daniel, he chose a different path. While others dined lavishly, he set himself apart by honouring God, choosing to eat differently from the rest.

We are that generation who follow a different pattern. We are not conformed to this world. Even our thinking is transformed because the same mind that was in Christ is now in us.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am not of this world. I have been set apart for God’s holy purpose. I am a bright and shining light before men for the glory of my Father in Heaven. Amen!

John 14:16 (KJV)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.

Do you fully grasp how amazing this scripture is? Let me show you. Look at the word ‘comforter’, which is used to describe the Holy Spirit. It is the Greek word ‘parakletos’, it means an intercessor, a consoler, an assistant, an advocate. Just imagine that in you right now resides this powerful being who among other things is your assistant! This is good news brothers and sisters.

The Holy Spirit came to help you live the best Christian life. There’s no reason for you to fail in anything in life after you’ve received the Holy Spirit. You have no right to fail because the Holy Spirit is your helper! He’ll help and teach you to pray, and He’ll teach you the Word! He’ll show you how to be free from debt and live in surplus, He can help you get a job, He’ll energize and give you the ability to succeed in business and family life. His ability will become your ability, and His strength will become your strength.

Recognize Him daily as your divine assistant and know that He came to make you a success in life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Today I give the Holy Spirit the pre-eminence in my life. I shall be amazed at the magnitude of God’s glory that’ll be manifest in me. Excellence, dignity and honour; and His ability, strength and wisdom will be evident in my life from now in Jesus Name!

Romans 8:26

Daniel 6:4 (KJV)

Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

God looks for faithful men and women to carry out His purpose and work here on earth. The Bible gives an example of Daniel as one who was faithful to God in a most remarkable and inspiring way. He was perfectly faithful and devoted to the Lord; the Scripture says there was neither any error nor fault found in him. He was neither corrupt nor negligent. He was faithful in all his dealings. Can you say that about yourself?

As a Christian, your primary allegiance, dedication, commitment and loyalty is first to God and His Word before anything else. Persecution may come at you from all angles, but you must remain steadfast and undaunted in your service and allegiance to the Lord. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because he chose to be faithful to God, and God shut the mouths of the lions - faithfulness produces protection!

Faithful people are chosen for important responsibilities, therefore, choose to be a faithful steward in God’s house. In using your gifts and abilities, finances and material blessings - choose to be faithful! It breaks chains!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I declare my absolute trust and allegiance to God today. I choose to faithfully serve Him with my life no matter the challenges ahead in Jesus Name! Amen.
