This Is How We Build A NationSample

Dreams and Declarations. We’ve all experienced seasons in life when we have felt that our life - perhaps due to relationships, work or finances - has become overly complicated. Thank God that we can call on the name of Jesus at these times! Unchanging and always present, Jesus’ name can simplify life as we lift Him up as the focus of our praise. Likewise, sharing our faith does not need to become complicated. The Holy Spirit convicts (John 16:17) and we are released to simply declare Jesus’ name by sharing our story and show others that there is a Saviour who deeply loves them and has a plan and purpose for their lives. Our declarations have the power to direct our destiny, determine our territory, dictate our mentality and defy the enemy. ‘We use our words to partner with God to see Him move in our lives’ Lucinda Dooley (Lead pastor, Hillsong Church South Africa). How are you using your words to shape your future, your relationships and your confidence. What are you declaring over your life? Make a list of any challenges that you are currently facing. Beside each of them, write the name of Jesus. Begin to praise God, focusing on Jesus and declaring the power of His name over your situation.
