Principle Centered Living: Created for Purpose, Prosperity and Praise

January 1, 2015 By Administrator

It’s time to get excited about your life, understand why you are in the earth realm and focus on the discovery, development and demonstration of the innate gifts, and talents that were designed in you before your entry into the earth. Life is a wonderful journey that we were engineered for and created to enjoy as we successfully complete all assignments from the different forums in every season of life. That success and enjoyment is greatly influenced by the image that you have of yourself. A person with a caterpillar image will never perform at the same level as one who has a giant killer image. An individual’s level of performance occurs at the same level as their self image. Self image determines how we think about ourselves and our responses to challenges and opportunities.

Everyone has a moral compass that encompasses their lifestyle.   This includes our way of responding to life experiences and subsequent circumstances that we may or may not have caused.   Some of these experiences occur because we were aware of them when they were pending or potential and we refused to take action before they became a reality.   When this occurs, the victim mentality is awakened in us.   However if we do take action before the manifestation of the experience, we will have a different prospective of the results. If the results are positive, then we benefit from seizing each moment that the opportunity presents.   Our faith and confidence are increased for future victories in spite of adverse circumstances.   Failure to take action and the results are negative, then the blame game and if only declarations are released. Declarations are affirmations and announcements that are spoken. You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways. (Job 22:28-Ampl).    Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We to believe, and therefore we speak, (2 Cor 4:13; Ps 116:10). We speak words that we believe over our situations, to those things that are troubling us and to God in prayer. When in agreement with God’s Word, words spoken in prayer and over our experience or circumstance always creates the desired results, Those results were embodied in God’ Word and possesses the same power that God put in His Word before He first spoke it. The Word of God was designed with purpose and power that angels immediately respond to when spoken in belief.   Angels are deployed and dispatched to get the necessary resources and conveniently place them for the believer to access when needed. God’s Word doesn’t come into agreement with the circumstances but instead changes, creates and control the circumstance to come into agreement with God’s Word that is spoken by the believer.

God counts belief as righteousness.   For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (Rom 4:3 – KJV). Abraham believed God.   He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.  Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; ( Rom 4:20-24-KJV). When God showed Abram His vision for his life and he believed in the Lord; and God counted it to Abram for righteous (Gen 15:1-6 KJV).

Let’s reason together according to the Word of God. Because God counts belief as righteousness then unbelief is counted as unrighteousness.   Disobedience indicates unbelief and a lack of trust in God and His ability to perform His Word.   The source of this unbelief and subsequent disobedience could be due to ignorance (lack of knowledge) or intimidation (fears or frightened). Disobedience results in consequences of the curse. However, when we obey God’s Word, we demonstrate that we know that He can’t lie so we believe that He is who He say He is and can perform every jot and tittle of what He says. So in Christ all the promises of God are yea, and Amen unto the glory of God by us.   A person obeys or disobeys according to personal desires, motives, or personal will.   Know that God will not violate an individual’s will but neither will He allow anyone to change His Will. The choice whether or not to obey is the individual but the resulting consequences or rewards of that decision has already been determined by God. Make the right choice based on your knowledge and understanding of God’s Word as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Christ came to do for us what we cannot do without Him, give us access to resources in the kingdom of God, position us to communicate with God, be the author and finisher of our faith and teach us how to pray and get answers.   Praise God all the resources that we are blessed with to ensure success when we use them. They include Jesus Christ, God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, the angels, the blood of the Lamb, the Name of Jesus, our faith, the word of our testimony, gifts and talents that He designed within us and others to partner with us.
