HAVE FAITH IN WHAT GOD HAS DONE
“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.” (Ephesians 2:1-3 KJV)
Death was automatically passed on to every man born on the face of the earth. You do not have a choice in this matter. The above Bible passage explains what happened before you became a Christian, which affected your dominion mandate.
If you do not have Christ, you are a child of wrath by nature. That is why it is important that you receive Christ into your life. The problem with Christianity is that religion tells you to have faith in the things you do for God more than what God has done for you. The truth, however, is that the things you do for God are nothing but dead works. They can never be acceptable. Even our justification is by faith. If your faith is in what you do for God, it will never be perfect because it will always be tainted with human elements. He does not bless you on the premise of what you are supposed to do for Him.
So, Brother Mike, are you saying that it is wrong to do something for God? No! But if that is where your faith is hinged in order to receive from God, you will fail because it can never be complete and perfect before Him. The offering that God accepts must be perfect. Perfectly, perfect, and completely complete. It cannot be added to or subtracted from. So, it is not about you. He wants you to have faith in what He has done for you through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

DAILY CONFESSION
It is God that fills me with strength and protects me wherever I go. He gives me the surefootedness of a mountain goat upon the crags. He leads me safely along the top of the cliffs. He prepares me for battle and gives me strength to draw an iron bow. He has given me His salvation as my shield. His right hand supports me; His gentleness has made me great. He has made wide steps beneath my feet so I never need to slip. (Ps 18: 32-36)
God is on my side. God is in me, so who can be against me? He has given unto me all things that pertain unto life and godliness; therefore I am a partaker of His divine nature. The angel of the Lord encamps round about me; because I fear Him, He delivers me. I am a believer and these signs do follow me. In the name of Jesus I cast out demons, I speak with new tongues, I lay hands on the sick and they do recover. (Rom 8:31, 2 Peter 1:3, Ps 34:7, Mark 16:17-18)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
It is my day of Rest!
