Participating in the heavenly security council.

It is often said that the future belongs to those who wake up early, and this is true. Pastor David ABIOYE, one of the fathers of faith, said:

“If you sleep all night, get ready to lose the whole day.“

It may seem trivial, but nothing can be accomplished in this world if we do not decide one day to change our way of life to avoid living like others. It is clear that most people always live the same way and there has never been a difference, so you stand out by refusing to conform to their lifestyles. Apostle Paul says in Romans 12:2:

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

So, make it a habit to wake up early and start your day by declaring what you want in the day with faith and in the presence of the Lord. For this is a formidable key. All the battles you see are not won during the day, but before it begins. They are won first at dawn by going into prayer to possess the day. That is why it is written in Job 38:12-15:

“Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.“

The giants of this world take time in the night to command the morning, to put an imprint on their day by shaping it with words. For it is like clay in our hands. The greatest challenge is always to undergo our days without doing anything to change something. As the prime example, Jesus Christ would rise very early to imprint his days. It is written in Mark 1:35 that

“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.“

He could have chosen another time to pray, but often he did it early in the morning. Why? Because it is at that time that one takes possession of what is one’s own. One could say that it is in the morning that the meeting of decision-makers of what will happen during the day is held, so it is important to be part of this assembly of decision-makers every day of our lives to have our say. Advice: Do everything possible to be part of the decision-making roundtable of your day in order to win every day.

Scriptures also tell us that we must shake off the wicked, break the arms raised against our lives, the life of our country, our continent, and the whole earth. God has given us authority through Jesus Christ to assert the Reign of heaven on earth and we should take our responsibilities to ensure this role. So, after commanding the morning by being at the decision-making table, declare what God wants for the day for your environment, your nation, your continent, and for the whole earth. It is important that his reign be established so that the earth reflects perfectly the heaven.

Advice: Take responsibility so that God’s decrees become the norm in our lives and in the lives of all those around us.

Prepare a notebook to remind you of what needs to be programmed and declared, as the world of the Spirit is a world of conciseness. Plan and declare words of conquest over your daily activities. Take the time in the evening to plan tomorrow’s day and recommend it in the morning before the Lord.

Participate in decision-making for the day.

I hope you are familiar with the United Nations (UN). You know that there are only 5 nations that really have decision-making rights and that nothing can happen outside of their advice. So, to make decisions, you must find a way to sit at their discussion table. It is the same for the earth. For the United Nations, a powerful nation with a certain economic status is needed to sit on the UN Security Council.

For the earth, all it takes is to wake up early and pray or dawn prayer in the presence of God to be part of the heavenly security council. I pray that you will be aware of the importance of waking up early today, in the name of Jesus, to be part of the heavenly security council. Look at the men who have had a significant impact on our world, you will see that they did not neglect the importance of waking up early.

A few months ago, I visited Bishop Oyedepo at Cannaland in Lagos. I noticed that he was in church every day at 5:30 am with everyone to possess the day. I was told that he has never missed this appointment for at least 15 years. So, it is amazing that he has such a global ministry. So, rise now and become a decision-maker, a member of the earthly security council to push your ideas into your generation. It’s crucial…
