Enforcing prophetic words

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;” 1 Timothy 1:18

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12

I am sure your Pastor has told you what you should expect for this year. And if you are connected to other ministries too, you would have received prophetic words from those ministries you believe in. But don’t just go and sleep expecting the fulfilment to just fall on your lap, enforce it. Prophetic words are basis for faith and must be enforced. Paul advised Timothy to war a good warfare with the prophetic words that went before him. Let me share with you few ways to enforce the prophetic words.

1.              Declare it boldly. If you believe it, you will declare it. If you declare it, you will experience it.  
            Romans 10:10 says, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
            mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

2.              Pray it through. That was what Elijah did in 1 Kings 18 after declaring to Ahab prophetically that, “Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.” The bible says, he went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, and prayed. He did not stop until there was a little sign that rain was coming. Beloved, I advise you to use the first few days to pray through on the prophetic words you have received.

3.              Honor God with your first fruit. Take your first fruit for the year, tag it with the prophetic word and sow it unto the Lord. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”
I decree that every good prophetic word that you have received shall come to pass in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God I believe the words that you have sent to me and I enforce them in my life in Jesus name (mention them specifically).
