Faith Capsule: Are you agreeing with negative by seeing and confessing negative instead of positive?

Joshua 6

As an acclaimed believer, when every step in life is rooted in faith one is set to be a winner over one’s world. As an acclaimed believer how you see will determine how much you possess; how you talk will determine what answers for you; how you hear will determine what you receive. Indeed, faith is the power to propel and progress in the journey of life.
As an acclaimed believer, it is important to know that out of the abundance of the heart not only does the mouth speak but the eyes see. The book of Exodus 2:1-2 recorded, “And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.  So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.” (Exodus 2:1-2) The child was born at a time when every other parent could not see beauty because of the killing of the Hebrew sons. The mother of Moses saw that he is beautiful and she could not present him as a victim of Pharaoh’s death sentence when she hid him for three months. As an acclaimed believer, one does not have to see things like others see. With faith, one can see deliverance in the place of destruction; one can see miracle in the place of obstacle; one can see motion in the place of stagnation.
When the Red Sea could not deny the children of Israel from getting to the Promised Land, Jericho attempted to deny them but failed. It is written, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.  And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:1-2) All that made the difference for the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua was that Joshua saw victory when it was yet at hand. Joshua had faith and Jericho failed to deny the Israelites.
The bible recorded, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21) What are you saying concerning the challenges before you? In the face of negative are you agreeing with negative by confessing negative? It is important to know and constantly know to confess positive regardless of how much negative is written over challenges. The song says, “Let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am reach.” What is your confession? It is important to know and adapt to seeing and confessing positive in the place of negative knowing that God is committed to doing good and not evil.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of enablement to constantly see and say right even when challenges persist.
