“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Mark 11:23 (KJV)
For you to see the manifestation of what you desire you must say it out first precisely as you want it to happen.
Many of us keep quiet without the verbal expression of those things we want to happen.
Look at the nature of God that made you in His image; HE speaks things into existence. (Genesis 1)
Yes, He speaks something that never existed in reality, and they happen.
To keep quiet and not verbalize your desires is short-circuiting yourself.
Some of our backgrounds had taught us to the contrary that you pray silently especially the misinterpretations of the story Jesus said about the Pharisees and the Sadducees that were praying in the temple. (Luke 18:9-14)
The focus of that parable is about who was the focus of their prayer.
Your prayer is to God and not your neighbor or those near you.
To see the result you have to declare openly with your mouth the things you want God to do which you have searched out from the scriptures and given some thoughts (meditation) and then saying them out to God.
Thank Him immensely and joyfully for answering your prayers before you physically see the results. Surely the results will come provided you reject all the doubts and negative confessions that you may be tempted to say after such prayers.
The real process is your continuous saying and believing what you have said out to God as your prayers and confession.
This action is what removes those mountains and actualizes your true dreams as realities.
As this first month of the New Year is rolling away open your mouth to God and say those things you want to manifest in your life this year.
Don’t go back in any shape and form to cancel with your mouth what you have requested for. Don’t explain it away or rationalize that it’s taking longer then verbally scales it down.
Don’t be ashamed to affirm and affirm again what you believe Him for regardless of the circumstances.
Stay faithful to the Word of God that your requests are rooted in, and you will like Jesus said have whatsoever you have said.

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalm 119: 11(KJV)
“What’s in your wallet?” is one of the advert phrases of a credit card company marketing the concept that once you have that card, you can purchase anything you want with some advantages over some other brands.
Today the Real question is what’s really in your heart?
Preacher, you just asked me what is my thought life about myself, why are you asking me again what’s is in my heart?
The truth is that the contents of your heart determine the outcome of your thought patterns and subsequent actions of life that you daily decide.
The psalmist knew that the key to having a successful relationship with God and not to sin against Him is ensuring that the word of God is abundantly dominant in His heart.
The Bible says that from your heart comes out the issues of life.
“Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.” Proverbs 4:23 (Msg)
Thank God for technology that makes it very easy for you to hear the word of God in the most convenient form to you anywhere and anytime.
Resolve to take your fill of the Word each day especially on the God-given assignments that you have.
It’s the Word of God that is available in your heart that will determine how far you are going to God.
Head or mental knowledge of the scriptures is not the same as those that you allow staying in your heart of heart, which comes mainly through meditation and whole focus.
The Word of God in your heart will not only make you live a holy life that is pleasing to God but delivers to you complete and wholesome prosperity.
Make a concrete decision as you embark on this New Year to make the Word of God abundantly available in your heart, which subsequently catapults you into fulfilling your God-given destiny.
Today again please check what’s in your heart?
What are you storing there to make you acquire all your desires in life?
“How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of your Word. I’m single-minded in pursuit of you; don’t let me miss the road signs you’ve posted. I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won’t sin myself bankrupt.” Psalm 119:11 (Msg)
The Word of God is the master key to all that you need in life.

“But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?” Luke 5:22 (KJV)
What are the thoughts in your heart today?
Should Jesus“perceive” your heart right now?
What do you think about yourself?
How do you see yourself in life today?
Are your thoughts in line with what God has said about you or you are importing different opinions from the various things you have exposed yourself to?
You are a product of your thoughts, and if you can have control over your thoughts, the Bible describes you as a Great person.
“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” Proverbs 16:32
Once again ask yourself if Jesus could ask you openly about your thoughts what would HE be saying to you?
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8
Examine the contents of your thoughts about yourself.
Speak to the challenges you are facing right now using the right words to guide the outcomes that you desire. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” Proverbs 23:7
God says concerning you that His thoughts towards you are superb. “ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11
Once again Jesus is asking you what type of thoughts are you thinking in your heart about yourself.
It’s not about what you are thinking of the other person or me in your life, today’s reflection is about what are you thinking about yourself.
It’s so easy to let your thoughts lose on other people especially those who you perceive that they don’t like you or you already classified them as your enemies. Such ideas come about so quickly because of the nature of a man’s heart.
However, the productive thoughts that will personally change your destiny and empower you to fulfill your God-given destiny require discipline and focus.
This new year resolve that your thoughts about yourself will be in line with God’s purpose for your life and the assignments He has given you.
What’s going on in your hear right now about You?

“For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.” Job 34:21(KJV)
God sees all that you have been going through.
Sometimes you feel nobody know all your travails and it is becoming overwhelming.
“He has his eyes on every man and woman. He doesn’t miss a trick. There is no night dark enough, no shadow deep enough, to hide those who do evil God doesn’t need to gather any more evidence; their sin is an open-and-shut case. He deposes the so-called high and mighty without asking questions and replaces them at once with others. Nobody gets by with anything; overnight, judgment is signed, sealed, and delivered.
He punishes the wicked for their wickedness out in the open where everyone can see it, Because they quit following him, no longer even thought about him or his ways.
Their apostasy was announced by the cry of the poor; the cry of the afflicted got God’s attention.” Job 34:21 (Msg)
Be comforted by the fact that the Almighty God is aware of all that you have been going through and HE is seeking redress on your behalf.
That’s why HE says to leave the vengeance to Him He will surely redress the situation on your behalf
“To me, belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.” Deuteronomy 32:35
Rise with hope and assurance today.
Nobody can write you off.
You are unique to the purpose and plan of God.
It may appear now that you are being oppressed and outsmarted.
God that sees ALL Knows ALL, is the one that has said ALL are working together for your GOOD.
HE SEES ALL

“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”2 Timothy 1:6-7(KJV)
Years ago in one of the places I had worked had a coworker who was a Psychic Reader and could tell the people whatever message the devil had for them but she was fervent and not ashamed in using her gift. Initially, for me, I had to pray and look for safe opportunities to witness and pray for people who needed healings. Even though she was an agent of darkness, she did not hide it. What I subsequently noticed was that she could not do the consultations for people when I am around because my presence caused her medium to fail. With such encounters, I had since learned never to be “quiet” in witnessing. Later on the in that workplace was able to have some converts and encourage other believers and soon had a fellowship without any conflict with our work and the productivity increased. She was fired on the job, but her initial aggression in doing what she believed was remarkable.
Around us today are still workers of iniquities waxing firm and are not ashamed to display their trade. Most believers usually wait for the “right time” to witness or secretly to pray.
Sometimes we “sleep off” at our duty Post in being an active witness for the Lord.
What are those gifts that God has given you to bring in more souls to His kingdom? It’s great to use them at all times as the opportunities arise. Don’t restrict your spiritual gifts to when you are in the church or only during such organized programs alone.
God has put you on different platforms so He can shine through you.
You are a Christian 24/7 so also the ability of God to use you as His instrument resides in you.
Don’t be too hesitant to make the right nature of God visible and manifesting in your life.
Paul encouraged Timothy not to fear and to be diplomatic in remaining silent.
Speak up and don’t be ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
Naturally, people will cling to the lies rather than wanting to hear the truth but continue to speak because when they face challenges that evil medium cannot solve they will come looking for you.
Be prepared at all times to share your faith.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waited for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Romans 8:19 (KJV.)
Don’t be put off by what is happening around you.
Let God use you to bring more souls to His kingdom wherever you find yourselves.
The Bible says you are wise because you can win souls.
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth soul is wise. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.” Proverbs 11:30-31(KJV)
As you continue to win souls for God, HE increases you in other areas of your life.
Stir up the gift of God
