Jesus Christ has given us a very potent method to obtain God’s promises. It is called confession. Confession means speaking the word of God and His promises (according to His word) out loud. Words are actually spiritual forces that release either one of two things: Fear or Faith.

For every time we say something, we are activating supernatural forces that will ultimately affect our lives. Therefore, as Christians, we have to be mindful of the things we say. The law of confession always work for the one who believes in it. Many Christians who have lost in one area or the other have the habit of confessing the wrong things. They fail to realize that words are activating spiritual laws that are working against their destinies. For confession to work for us, we must understand and believe the law of confession.

Confessing the word of God is a weapon against the enemy. The Bible says that The enemy is running to and fro seeking whom he may devour. This means the Devil is constantly putting pressure on us in order to make us quit. In these last days, quitting is not an option. The word of God is always handy to defeat the enemy.

Mark 9:23 says, “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” So, believing and speaking in line with God’s word is a key to our victory. It must also be said that faith is the force that must be in operation in order for our confessions to come to pass. We must not confess the word of God in fear or mechanically. We must believe that we already have the victory at the point of confession.

Daily confession by Rev. Femi Oduwole
I am triumphant
and empowered by the Holy Spirit to make a difference wherever I am
I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed
I have stepped over the line
The decision has been made
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ
I won’t look back, slow down, back away or stand still

My past is redeemed
My present makes sense
My future is secured

I am finished with low living
Sight walking, and small planning
I am done with prayerless life, colourless dreams, tamed vision, wordly talking, cheap giving and dwarf goals
I am anointed by God for exploits
Blessed by heaven to prosper
Whatever I touch flourishes

This is my year of above and beyond
I am from above, I am going beyond
All things are easy for me to achieve and to become
This year, God will give me rest all round
And there will be no adversary or evil occurrence

I am a model to nations, generations and several congregations
This is my month of unlimited exploits
Come and see my zeal for the Lord

I live above sickness, poverty, confusion, depression and every oppression of the Enemy
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world
I now live by His presence
Walk by faith
Love by patience
Lead by prayer
Labour by His power
My faith is set
My goal is heaven
My road is narrow
My guide is reliable
My mission is clear

I cannot be bought, compromised, lured away, turned back, diluted or delayed
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice
Hesitate in the presence of adversity
Negotiate at the table of the enemy
Ponder at the pole of popularity
Or stuck in the maze of mediocrity
I won’t give up, shut up, let go or slow down
Until I’ve breeched up, stored up, paid up for the cause of Jesus Christ
I have no taste for mere religion without change
I live a result-oriented, purpose driven life based on the principles of God’s word
I am a person of the word, yielded to the Spirit, committed to God’s purpose for my life

I take my place in God’s supernatural army
And His agenda for the earth and our generation
I’ll never give up, give in, quit, or die until my job is done and victory is won

I am a disciple of Jesus
I must go on, till He comes
Give, till I drop all
Preach, till everyone knows
Work, till He stops me
And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me
Because my banner will be clear
I am empowered to be a model in my congregation, nation and generation
HALLELUYAH!!!
