Monthly Scripture: Isaiah 60
1“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lordam thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lordshall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.”
Teaching: Walking in a Priestly Anointing
Job 22:28 says “Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
This scripture refers to your kingly anointing. A king does not beg or cry for anything. A king has legal power to decree, which is an old English word for legislate. David proves to us that a decree is pregnant with potential and promise. It will incubate in the atmosphere until the appropriate and optimum time to manifest. Once you make a Scriptural decree, heaven and its’ hosts ensure that it come to pass. His word will not return void.
Study the story of David. He made a decree over the uncircumcised Philistine. This story proves that what you don’t have heaven will have to provide according to your decree. David showed up with a sling-shot and five small stones. However, he decreed that he would sever the head of Goliath. How was he going to do this with a few stones? Heaven made it possible — to touch and agree with his decree. The book of James in the New Testament tells us that life and death is in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 18:20 says. “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.”
From this day forward, watch what you say. Self-defeating words affect your destiny and bring death. Do not verbalize your complaints, they can alter your trajectory of destiny. Today, download success into your day by speaking and decreeing: life, success, prosperity, health, greatness, love, repentance, joy, peace, salvation, and wholeness into your life. Let’s change the trajectories of our life by praying the prayer of victory and make these declarations over our life.
A Prayer of Victory
“O Lord, King of kings and Lord of lords, I honor You today. Today, I take authority over my thoughts and cast down every vain imagination. I declare that vain imagination be brought into the obedience of Christ–His unadulterated Word (2 Corinthians 10:5). Every idle word, capricious thought, and word that I have spoken ignorantly into the atmosphere, I denounce it and pull it out of the atmosphere today. I prohibit the hijacking of my thoughts and command that I only think on things that are good, and of a good report. I loose off of me any symptoms of sickness and I bind every infirmity. I am healed by the blood of Jesus and sickness is far from me.
The weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but there are mighty through God, to the pulling down strong-holds. Therefore, I pull down every stronghold that has delayed and hindered the promise of God in my life (2 Corinthians 10:4). I take authority of every evil spirit and command it to get out of my sphere. Lord contend with those who contend with me and fight against those who fight against me. (Isaiah 49:25). Teach my hands to war and my finger to fight (Psalms 144:1). Lord take hold of the shield and buckler and stand up for my help! Lord secure my feet; give me hinds feet to stand in my high places (Psalms 18:33). Lord dismantle the plots and plans of the enemy. I veto and dismantle every diabolical ordinance. I replace every ill spoken word with the Word of the Lord concerning my life, ministry, family, friends, and business.
Today, I walk in the timing of the Lord. Every blessing with my name on comes to me without delay. I decree and declare that all things from my Father comes to me in their correct time and season. I shall not accept any substitutes. I will not be denied of what rightfully belongs to me. My God has brought me into a wealthy place and I roam where the kings roam. I decree and declare that my set time of favor with man and God is now! This is my best day and my blessed day. O Lord, close every gate where the enemy has access to frustrate the blessings you have set for me. Everyone who is assigned to pray for me, work with me, bless me; open the two-leave gates and make room for them to find me. I allow the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty access. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I decree and declare that my day will cooperate and operate with purpose. My assignments from God will be carried out with power and the anointing of the Lord. I confess I only progress; everything that I touch turns into prophetic gold. I decree and declare that there is no lack, and I walk with privileges and favor. God blesses the work of my hand. Wherever I go, wherever I live, systems, codifications, charter, etc. must change to accommodate the purpose of God in my life, ministry and business. I am a successful believer and I bind the spirit of procrastination. I thank you Father that Shine Empowerment Network arises and shines.
I have the anointing of Daniel– an excellent spirit. I am connected to individuals that will gird up my vision, and those who will make deposits into my vision. I have the anointing of John the Baptist–a trailblazing kingdom builder. I have the anointing of Joseph for leadership. Lord place the following anointings upon me; activate them and let them flow uncontaminated and unhindered:
I decree that God gives me wisdom and understanding in every area of my life, family, and ministry. I am the apple of my Fathers eye and I dwell in the secret place of the most High. I sit in heavily places. God directs my prayers, He leads me into the path of righteousness. My prayers are above principalities. They hit the target and I do not pray amiss. Amen!
