Prayer that works Wonders 3

In this edition we want to look at how you can bless yourself and change your life. Blessing oneself as a child of God in God’s way of doing it is a type of prayer that works wonders. As I said, in the last two editions, that we cannot pray like Old Testament believers because they prayed like servants. But we are to pray like sons of God because our Daddy owns the universe. As a result, we have to follow the way the Father does it. The Bible says: “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children” (Eph.5:1).
 “Jesus said to them, “truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own , but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.” (John 5:19)
In other words, Jesus was Father’s imitator. And that was why he had God’s kind of results. He always followed the Father’s ways of doing things, and thus He kept on having Father’s kind of results. Likewise for you to have Father’s kind of results, you have to follow His ways. So then, how does God bless people? The Bible says:
“And if you say, ‘what shall we eat in the seven year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’ I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that it will bring forth fruit for three years.” (Lev.25:21)
“The LORD will command the blessing upon you in your barns, and in all that you undertake; and he will bless in the land which the Lord your God gives you” (Deut.28:8)
Beloved, this is the way God blesses His people by commanding blessings upon them. Hence, as a child of God you can command blessings of God upon yourself thereby putting blessings of God on yourself daily. Then you ask me, is it true? Yes, it is true. You can bless yourself daily and you will be blessed abundantly. I have 3 witnesses in the Bible that you can bless yourself and you will be blessed indeed.  It is written:
 “YOU shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light (of God’s favour) shall shine upon your ways.” (Job22:28)
“For by YOUR words you will be justified, and by YOUR words you will be condemned” Matt.12:17)
“And so I tell all of you: what YOU prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what YOU permit on earth will be permitted in heaven” Matt.18:18)
See, all these scriptures are saying that you can change your life now because you have the final say over the issues of your life not the devil or enemies. It is what you are saying that God will continue to permit in your life. God says that when you decree a thing or bless yourself it shall be established for you. It shall be established means that it shall rest upon you or take root in your life and no power or being in heaven will be able to stop it.
It is a pity that many children of God do not know that they have the final say over their lives not the devil, and also have the power to change their situations within them. And because they don’t know they consistently affirm what the enemy has done or is doing in their lives. As a result, they allow the devil to put curses like poverty, failure at the edge of breakthrough, marital failure, sickness, and diseases, etc on them daily.
Hear this, as long as you are saying negative things about yourself and life, you can’t be blessed by God until you change what you are saying and what you are saying align with God has said about you. See, it is either you are blessing or cursing yourself daily.
Friends, now is the time to begin to bless yourself with prosperity, sound health, success, favour, wealth, enlargement, etc. When you say I am favored, favour comes upon you. When you say I am making progress in every area of my life, God releases upon you power and grace to make progress. When you say I am living above every impossibility, He releases the power of possibility upon your life. When you say I am getting richer daily, He releases the power to get wealth upon your life and open doors of opportunity to places of wealth for you. Your prayer life must be filled with these kinds of declaration for it is what you declare that will be established for you in the spirit realm.
Stop saying what the devil wants you to say. When you begin to say or saying what the devil wants you to say, you are indirectly cursing yourself and that is what you will have. As from this day when you wake up in the morning, command success, prosperity, enlargement, increase, divine health, favor, mercy, wealth, etc upon your life, business, career, children, etc in the name of Jesus. For instance, I used to say that I bless myself with the blessings of heaven above, the dew of heaven, silver and gold in abundance, the grain, wine and oil in abundance, the fatness of the earth, etc. I used to decree that anyone that blesses me today is blessed hundred fold and anyone that curses me today is cursed hundred fold with the same curses in the name of Jesus.
Friend, it is working! It is high time you change your fortunes.
