Uncategorized January 2nd, 2008It seems that nothing inspires people to make resolutions and promises like the beginning of a new year. Have you already made resolutions? Do you have a plan for your success in those areas? Is it based on your will power or on God’s power?
A few months ago, as I considered the coming year the word “resolved” came to my mind and I quickly jotted it down in my journal. As I took a few minutes to ponder the word, it became apparent (at least to me) that it should be the mission statement for the year 2008, Dominion and Authority. RESOLVED speaks to our God consciousness and reminds us that God gives us all we need to prevail, we must accept it and move into action. Take a look:
Receive
Every
Strategy
Ordained by the
Lord and
Victoriously
Establish His
Dominion
As you walk in Dominion and Authority, keep in mind that God has and always has had the plan for your success. Receive (accept) his plan and walk in agreement with him. Be encouraged and know that sometimes the plan of God for your life will challenge you to step beyond your comfort zone. Follow him. Sometimes the plan of God for your life will be different than every one else’s or even what you imagined. Trust Him. Sometimes the plan of God for your life will open doors and present opportunities you never even considered. Faithfully Obey Him. Remember when you follow his leading there is no end to your success, fulfillment, and joy.
The year of Dominion and Authority is about understanding your identity, the power you possess, and faithfully moving into the action that brings glory to God. Let this be the year that you accomplish more than you imagined by following the plan of God. This year don’t just make resolutions be RESOLVED!
Remember today, “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 and “with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1:37
Blessings today and always,

I actually read this one back in January sometime and thought of how most people make resolutions for the New Year and forget them before March rolls around. Why is it that we can so easily forget something we resolved to change? Sometimes we give up on changing areas of our lives which we reviewed and have deemed necessary of positive change due to our inability to seek God to remove the things from our live which are not of him. Instead we try to do everything on our own without God through whom all things are possible (Matt 19:24) How often do we think we know all that is necessary to be successful in everything that comes our way to fall flat on our face? We ignore the supplier of all and this failure to seek God first puts us further behind and out of the will of God, which we could have avoided by seeking the Lord in the first place to strengthen us for the advancement of the kingdom. A way I avoid limiting myself to my own ability and remember that I have access to all things through Jesus Christ is remind myself daily that Gods grace and mercy keep me as well as that greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world (John 4:4)
