2021: The Year of Favor & God’s Divine Faithfulness
We are on the brink of the new year in just a couple more days! GETTING SUPER EXCITED!
This year has been one of the BEST YEAR EVER. Mainly because GOD showed up and showed off!
At the beginning of this year, I was so expectant for what God is about to do in my life. I believed, declared, and prayed that 2021 would be the Year of Favor.
Little did I know that after my 25th birthday in April, blessings after blessings kept on overflowing like a never-ending river.
In May my brother purchased and we moved into our very first home. Then in June, I started my new dream job which I had absolutely no background in. It just shows that God can use and position anybody; even a nobody like me. And last but not least, I purchased my new EV car in the month of July (not knowing that gas price would increase in the later months).
WOW OH WOW. My GOD is so so GOOD!
The perspective and belief system you hold at the beginning of the year will shape and determine the rest of your year.
What are some things you are still waiting for God to do in your life? What are some promises He has said to you in the past? Is it in the field of your career, education, relationship, health, etc.? Have you given up on the promises of God because it seems impossible? Or is it because it’s taking way too long?
Friendly Reminder: We serve an ALL powerful, mighty, and amazing GOD who can do ANYTHING at ANYTIME. What is impossible for you is possible for HIM. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) Keep on believing until it manifests from the spiritual into the physical realm.
His timing is not your timing. As you continue to expect and trust in God’s divine faithfulness you will begin to see multiple signs, miracles, and wonders on a daily basis.
Life isn’t so boring and mundane anymore, rather it gets very interesting and fun when you start allowing the Lord to steer the direction of your heart (and decisions).
Throughout 2018-2020, I remember saying “GOD I THANK YOU for the new car, the new job, and the new house” even when at that moment I saw nothing going on in my life.
Did you know that you’ve been given the power and authority to declare and create things into existence? YES, YOU CAN!
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:19)
In other words, you’ve been granted a voice activation system. As you rejoice, give thanks, praise, and worship God in advance, something shifts in the unseen world. It’s as if the Lord starts sending His angels to deliver a special package to you because of the words that came out of your mouth.
Every single day I would be so excited believing at ANY given moment God can reveal His glory and pour out His favor over me and my family.
Having the constant child-like faith and thought of “something good will happen to me today,” is what moves heaven to pour out God’s blessing over you.
That’s why I am very big on guarding my heart, peace, and joy because I don’t ever want to miss the blessing and favor of God.
Stop allowing the enemy to keep you from receiving God’s best through comparison, doubt, unbelief, offenses, depression, and self-pity. Do not allow the devil to shut your mouth just because of your current mood or situation that seems to be stagnant. Instead, learn to break free from the norm and start praising God wherever and whenever.
When you’re happy, praise God. When you’re sad, praise God. When you’re depressed and don’t know what else to do, praise God.
You would be amazed at the result if you would just praise GOD for an entire day. See if God won’t bless you or elevate your mood to the peace and joy of being in His presence.
You are more than a conqueror because God has given you the authority and power to be an overcomer in Christ our Savior.
Discovering your true identity in Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit is what sets you apart on this earth. You are called and chosen to witness the wondrous works of God, so continue to dream big!
As long as you’re still breathing today, then GOD isn’t finished writing your story yet! Your BEST DAYS are still ahead of you, Friends! REMEMBER THAT THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
Living life purposefully and with love,
Sharon
