Following Jesus

My beloved child, I have called you to be Jesus in shoe leather here on earth. Show the love of Christ the Messiah to everyone, everywhere you go – for by this all will know that you are My disciples if you have a love for one another.” (John 13:35 NKJV) Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for it is love that covers a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8 NLT) John was standing with two of his disciples as Jesus walked by, and he looked at Him and declared, ‘Look! There is the Lamb of God!”

When John’s two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Jesus looked around and saw them following. ‘What do you want’? He asked them. They replied, ‘Rabbi meaning Teacher,’ ‘where are you staying’? ‘Come and see,’ He said. They went and spent the rest of the day with Him. (John 1:35-39 NLT) When we spend time with Jesus, it is only natural that we want to introduce Him to others so that they can spend time with Him too! Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of these men who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. Andrew had been a disciple of John the Baptist, but after he had spent the afternoon with Jesus, he was so enthusiastic he could barely contain his excitement. Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (meaning Christ). (John 1:40 NLT) Andrew took Simon to meet Jesus. Jesus looking intently at Simon, said, ‘Your name is Simon, son of John, but you will be called Cephas (which means Peter’). (John 1:41-42 NLT)

You are invited to bring many to meet Jesus. The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come, follow me.” Philip was from Peter and Andrew’s hometown. Philip was so excited he went to find his brother Nathanael, and when he found him, he said, “we have found the Messiah”! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.” ”Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” “Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied. As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel-a man of complete integrity.” “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.” Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God-the King of Israel! Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth. (John 1:43-51 NLT). Andrew’s time with Jesus teaches us an important message, bringing others to Jesus is not just about preaching, teaching, and helping others. Sometimes it’s a perfect opportunity to introduce others to Him.

My Daily Declarations

Pray this out loud over your day:

Father God, I come boldly before your throne (Hebrews 4:16) and thank you for this beautiful day as I dedicate it to You! I declare and decree on the authority of the Word of God I am healthy, I am wealthy in every area of my life, and I am wise beyond my years. I have great discernment and receive revelation as I study the Word of God. I boldly confess I am loved, called and chosen. I am anointed, appointed, equipped and enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit that works mightily within me. I am a carrier of the fire of the Holy Ghost igniting the flame in others, everywhere I go. I declare and decree I live, breathe, move and serve powerfully under the shelter of the Jehovah Yahweh. (Psalms 91)

I declare:

I believe God’s Word is true and I am who God’s Word says I am, I can have what God’s Word says I have. I can do what God’s Word says I can do. I am rich in every way and generous on every occasion. There is no lack in Heaven, I remove every block and hinderance releasing all the resources with my name on it. I say laborers come forth to help me build the Kingdom of God therefore it is established in Jesus name. (Matthew 9:35-38) I am the child of a King, therefore I will not leave home without wearing my invisible crown. I am healed and whole in every area of my life. God has called me to be a healer and deliverer to set His people free from every form of earthly bondage. He has chosen me to pull leaders up, push them out and position them for their purpose and calling as Jesus did. I have entered the ‘Rest of God’ and I am staying in that peaceful place and I declare I will not allow the enemy to rock my world.(Hebrews 4:1-16) Peace belongs to me because I am a blood bought daughter of a King, therefore I trust you Abba Father. I value and sense Your presence today Father. The Holy Spirit lives within me, He goes before me, walks beside me and He is my rear guard. (Isaiah 58:8, Isaiah 52:12) You O’ Lord order my steps and my stops. (Psalms 37:23)

I Declare:

I declare and decree on the authority of the Word of God I am favored, I have favor with both God and man in all I do in Jesus name. I am blessed and highly favored of the Lord, (Proverbs 3:3-4) divine spiritual order is in my home, body, life and family. I am renewing my mind daily, disciplining myself by washing it with the Word. I guard my heart for out of me flows a well spring of life not the issues of life because I am healed and whole in every area of my life because You O’ Lord are the CEO and President of my life. I declare divine protection and restoration over my family and I today. Divine appointments are happening every where I go.

I Declare:

I declare and decree that No weapon formed against my family and I can prosper or succeed and every tongue that (speaks against) rises up against us in judgement we condemn it, for this is the heritage of the children of the Most High God. (Isaiah 54:17) I declare and decree that me and my house shall be saved, every single member of my family, not one member of my family will perish in Jesus name. I release them now to the Father and I trust you Father God with them. (Acts 6:31) I walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) I trust God with everything that goes on in my life and with each member of my family because God is at work turning all things around for my good and His glory because I love Him. (Romans 8:28) I seal my declarations with the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit which empowers me therefore it is established this day in the Holy Righteous name of Jesus. Amen.

Copy these daily declarations and use them then watch how Abba Father blesses you in 2020!
