Philippians 1:7 (KJV)

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

There is a colloquial saying that goes as such, ‘No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of a main.’ It may come as a surprise that even the majority of self-made millions and billionaires you know are the product of someone else’s ideas, resources or mindset. The tech billionaire Bill Gates’ father was a millionaire law firm owner whilst his mother was a successful businesswoman who connected him to key figures that would help him later in his own companies.

As a child of God, your family is not the deciding factor of your success but the grace you partake in! When you ascribe to one person’s teachings and revelation, you are directly tying yourself with benefits of the grace they carry. You have an inability to fail, the grace and favour for you to succeed in life is available for you. You are not an island by yourself, you are part of a flourishing country rich in God’s grace called the GoodNewsNation!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am not an island, I am part of a large and wealthy Nation, I can never and will never fail because the grace I’m partaking in is sufficient for me. Amen.

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

A common factor among many companies is that when they create a product, such as the latest car model or telephone, they take pride in their work and are eager to proudly proclaim themselves as the creators behind it. This is the same way the Lord Jesus views you. Unlike a car or phone, however, God's creation is perfectly crafted, no bugs or battery failures! The Word of God describes you as the excellent workmanship and handiwork of the ultimate Creator!

God has placed His brand on you forever, meaning He doesn’t expect you to succumb to things like sickness, poverty, and the elements of this world because He made you superior to them! He made you stronger than any weapon the enemy can throw at you. So, never allow yourself to believe you were made to live an ordinary life. You were made with no defects. You are His workmanship.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am God’s perfect product. He made me with perfection in mind. I am His workmanship and handiwork; I live a fault-free life! Amen.

Psalm 5:12 (KJV)

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Picture this, amidst the commotion of an armed robbery, a thief fires shots at a member of law enforcement to deter them and form an escape route. The bullet misses its intended target, and instead, a civilian gets caught in the crossfire. What causes the policemen to walk away unharmed while the civilian is injured? This is favour at work. As children of God, regardless of the enemy’s intentions, we are exempt from the ramifications of their attacks, walking away just as the policeman did, unscathed.

If this doesn’t seem fair, it isn’t meant to be! Through the Lord Jesus, we have been given an advantage as we walk through the vicissitudes of this world. We’re a step ahead of those in the world. God has provided favour in every aspect of your life so that you can excel beyond those who walk in darkness. When you learn to apply His Word, His endless favour will speak for you!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Favour isn’t meant to be fair! Through Jesus, I have grace to achieve beyond all those within my field of expertise. There is no such thing as competition for me. Hallelujah!
