1 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJV)

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

The Promised Land is a land full of milk and honey, that's a fact, but the Promised Land also has giants that need to be annihilated. The Promised Land requires conquest and, therefore, a warrior's altitude; it requires discipline, the tenacity of a bulldog, and a change of character. You have moved from the environment of manna, where God supernaturally provided angels' food for your daily bread, to a land of hostility.

The Bible says from the days of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of God suffers violence, and it is the violent that takes it by force. The wait is over; you have arrived in your Promised Land. The One who promised is able to deliver when you focus on Him, not the size of the giants, not the size of your problems, not the size of the budget for that project. Certainly, He who gives the vision is more than able to give the provisions.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My sleeves are rolled up, my belt is tightened, I gird up my loins, and I am ready for work. No more spoon-feeding. I'm ready to eat of the sweet and good of the land from my labour in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.

Acts 18:3

Hebrews 12:29 (KJV)

For our God is a consuming fire.

There was a time when the prophets of old had to challenge public opinion publicly. Joshua asked a wavering assembly who they would serve and declared, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Confronted with a similar scenario of waverers, Isaiah asked, "Whose report will you believe?" As for Prophet Elijah, his question to the masses was clear in 1 Kings 18:21: "How long will you vacillate between two opinions? If Baal, be god, then serve him, but if God be God, then serve Him,” and Jehovah Chikopokopo (the One who needs no runway) answered Elijah by fire.

Our God is a heavyweight. He is beyond comparison – the One who starts from the end and finishes at the beginning. It does not matter what part of the year of Milk and Honey; our God holds time in His hands, and His timing is always perfect. Your business will not go under, your children will not go wayward, and your finances will not dry up! The good work started in you already in this year of Milk and Honey will not cease. You’re rising higher and higher in Jesus' Name!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am headed for victory! No matter the public opinion, no matter the naysayers, no matter the altars of Baal, my God shall reward me publicly. My victory shall be undebatable. This one, I will win! Amen.

Exodus 24:17

Acts 19:12 (KJV)

So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

The Bible says Paul's handkerchiefs were used to heal the sick. Notice that the handkerchief is simply a conduit, a channel through which the anointing flows. If you want to see the potency of the anointing you carry being manifested, you must be prepared to exercise your faith and act. Understand we are members of Christ's body, so when you move, Jesus is moving.

Imagine a handkerchief has no feeling; it does not hear; it is inanimate, yet Apostle Paul’s handkerchief was used to heal the sick when they came in contact with it. So, what about you, a living, breathing, tongue-talking, Spirit-filled Christian? When you see the sick out there, you know the power you carry, so begin to exercise it. You are better than a handkerchief! You are the conduit of the anointing!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am the God-Kind. The very headquarters of God is tabernacled in my body. No sickness, no virus can survive in my body. I carry the healing power, anointed to heal the sick and cast out devils in the Name of Jesus! Amen.
