Getting your confessions to work for you

Making confessions is one of the ways by which you as a believer can translate your legal realities into vital realities in this earth realm, but except you understand the very basics of confession, these realities will continue to elude you.

The confession of your faith is not an end in itself, it is simply a means to an end. The goal of your confession is first to bring you to the realm where the exercise of your faith becomes an unconscious process as you get your thoughts to align with whatever it is you are confessing, and secondly, to give voice to your faith as a testimony of victory before heaven and before hell with respect to where you stand regarding the situation you are confronted with. The point at which many believers miss it with respect to their confession of faith is that they think that what they are confessing will only come to pass if they are able to confess it long and fast enough. This is a wrong thought and will usually lead to a frustrating experience because it is contrary to scriptures. Thinking you can receive your confessions simply by the number of times you make the confessions is an attempt to receive by works rather than by grace, on the premises of the finished work of Christ.

Eph. 2: 8 not of works lest any man should boast.                

If the number of confessions you make is directly equal to the results you get, then it has become by works, so then you can boast about how often you make confessions to get results, but nothing could be farther from the truth than this.

Your confessions like we said earlier is just a means to an end, it is meant to get you to the place where you believe beyond any reasonable doubt that that confession is yours to possess. When your confessions gets you to that point where your heart totally agrees with the confessions of your mouth, then your confession is a done deal. There are confessions that I stuck with for years before I ever saw the manifestation, there also confessions that I've been holding unto for years now, and I haven't yet seen the manifestation, but I'm certain that as surely as the dawn, they are coming to pass. So don't let go of your confessions simply because they haven't yet come to pass, hold on fervently and don't let go.

The challenge with many believers is that they abandon their confessions half way because they have only confessed so far and have not seen any result yet. Perhaps it could be that your confession has not yet aligned with your heart to the point that you know that what you are confessing is yours to possess, so then you must persevere in staying with that confession and possibly do it more often with some emotions attached, till you get to that point where your conscience becomes altered by those confessions, at that point no force on earth can stop the realization.

While we understand the vital place our confessions hold, you must also understand the vital place of prayers in fanning the flames of your confessions. When that prayer backing is lacking in your confessions, it is almost guaranteed that you won’t see those confessions through to the end, the initial flames will pass out in no time and you will be left struggling with mere empty confessions devoid of any power to accomplish them. However, if you take your place in prayers, praying consistently in the spirit, not only will you continue to fan into flames your confessions, but those confessions will become more and more robust, and your capacity to receive what you are confessing will be enlarged. Sometimes our capacity to hold what we are confessing is really limited but as we keep up those confessions and continue to spend time in prayers, our capacity to hold the confessions will be increased.

Let me also quickly emphasize the place of meditating on the word of God. Sometimes you have to pause your confession and think deeply about it in line with the word. This will stir up faith in your heart and help you hold your place in those confessions against any contrary evidence.
To tie up everything, you must understand that confessions are what we live by as believers, but we are not looking up to our confessions to get us the results we want, we are looking rather to the finished work of Christ Jesus and the power of God to bring those things to bear in our lives. Our confessions only help to bring us to the place where our heart is in perfect alignment with the word of God on our lips. Once we arrive at this point, our confessions are justified and we can move on to even greater and deeper confessions.


When you understand all these, you will begin to get more results from your confessions. Remember again the place of prayer and meditating on the word of God in coming into full possession of your confessions. I believe you are set for the best days of your life so I welcome you to an Adventure in faith.

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
