YOUR CONFESSION SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH
Luk 8:52-53: "And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead."
Don't be troubled by anything, but always make positive confessions whenever anything goes contrary in your life, even if you are laughed at and scorned by people. Your faith is your life and your glorious destination, so don't worry about people's negative attitudes to your faith confession. Always confess forwardly according to what you are believing in God for and not according to the bad situation that you are going through. Don't become restless or give yourself sleepless nights on how to solve the matters that you aren't able to handle. There is no trouble that you are going through that is hidden from God. Before you enter into them God was aware of it and He had also made provisions long ago for them in Christ Jesus on how He will help you to solve them. No troubles that you are going through that will end in shame, death, loss, or destruction; but all shall be for the glory of God. John 11:4. You will stop worrying about anything if you have the mindset that whatever goes contrary in your life or the challenges that you are facing are all for the glory of God. So, don't imagine catastrophe to happen to you through the challenges you face, God is not planning evil for you at all. The thoughts of God for you are all good and not evil, and the thoughts of God should be your thoughts in any trouble you are going through. Every thought you imagined for yourself will end as your destination. If you think evil will happen to you that is what will eventually be; but if you think good concerning you, that is what will come through for you. Whatever challenges you face are just a delay, but not your destination. So don't make what is supposed to be a little delay to grow your faith deeper in God to become a destination for you through your fear and negative confession. Whatever delay you face in life is allowed by God to deepen your knowledge of God and His plan for your life.
Just as darkness is a reason for the manifestation of light, so also a delay is a reason for the revelation and manifestation of the glory of God in your life. Every revelation of the glory of God in our spirit was meant to manifest through us, but we can delay or stop it from being manifested through our unbelieving and disobedience to God. What God is not revealing to you in your spirit, you cannot manifest outside. If you venture to do so, you will just be breathing out noise without a divine substance or a message from God. Some preaches without a definite message from God and they aren't making definite impacts in the body of Christ through their activities. They are preaching, but they are preaching nothing of eternal value; they are full of activities, but they are doing nothing. When there is no definite message from God, no definite impact will be made in the body of Christ. It is a message from God that makes room for impact to be made in the body. It is not enough to have platforms for expression, much more than that, we must possess a divine substance from God that will help to push forward what God is doing in the world. Some are called by God to be the builders of the body of Christ, some are called to train the body for the work of ministry, while some are called to expand the impacts of the body of Christ beyond boundaries into many nations of the world. These are apostolic fathers or those who carry the mantle of apostolic ministry. These are frontier apostles who take the gospel of Jesus Christ to different nations. Whatever you are in these categories above, God will give you a definitive message to make eternal impacts in the world.
