I Am What God Says I Am!

You realize, don’t you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16, MSG
“I Am What God Says I Am”
Oluwafemi, we start every service at Lakewood saying, “I am what God says I am.” I may feel weak, but God says I’m strong, so my report is, “I am strong.” When you say that, strength starts heading your way. When you’re dealing with an illness, anxiety, or depression, it’s easy to wear the labels “sick,” “depressed,” “anxious,” “defeated.” “That’s just who I am.” No, that’s not who you are. That’s what you’re dealing with. You’re not a sick person trying to get well. You’re a well person fighting off sickness. Don’t let the difficulty become your identity. Don’t get in agreement with the negative. Go back to what your Creator says. God says He’s restoring health to you. He says you’ll run and not be weary. He says weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Say about yourself, “I am a temple of God. I’m healthy, whole, energetic, free, happy, and victorious.” If you start saying what God says about you instead of what you feel, you’ll see things begin to turn around. Don’t go through life wearing negative labels.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You didn’t create me to live weighed down by the worry, hurts, guilt, and frustrations that creep in and limit my life. Help me to clear out all the clutter of negative thoughts and labels from my mind and dwell on what You have to say about me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

The Best Anxiety Preventive!

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
