Failure-proof Living

(1 Corinthians 13:8) Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.


Everything around you is subject to decay. The systems of this world, no matter how stable, are subject to decay. There is nothing in the natural that is failure proof. Everything tends towards degeneration.

It's the effect of the fall of man. When Adam sinned, he subjected everything on planet earth to destruction. What he did in essence was submit the planet to the authority of the enemy. That is why success that is solely based on the world's system is not guaranteed to last forever.

Do not be discouraged. In the midst of the destruction that surrounds us, there is a way to ensure that our lives are failure proof. That way is the way of God's love.

Anything based on the love of God is guaranteed to succeed, outlast and outlive the decay of this world. Build your life on the love of God. Build your career on the love of God. Build your family on the love of God.

There is only one way to ensure that you will not fail in life. The way to do so is to build every aspect of your life on the love of God.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: I Corinthians 13:1- 13




MY DAILY CONFESSION

I am born of God and I have His nature of love. The love of God has been shed abroad in my heart. I let loose of the force of love from my inside. I do not walk in strife, malice or unforgiveness. I walk freely in the love of God because it is my nature.

I subject my flesh to walk in love. I do not walk according to the dictates of the flesh but I walk as led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit enables me to walk in love at all times. God is with me, God is in me and God is for me so I cannot fail.

I please God and obey His commandments. I love God and I love my neighbor as myself. I therefore walk under open heavens. God opens the windows of heaven over my life because I cooperate with Him by walking in love. I enjoy the benefits of the New Covenant established on better promises. I walk in healing, health, prosperity, preservation and wholeness. I am satisfied with long life and prosperity.

I cannot fail in life because love never fails. Whatsoever I lay my hands on prospers. I prosper in my health, family, relationships and my career. I am born to win and designed for success.

I stand out in my environment. I am distinguished because I walk in the love of God. I represent God adequately in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. I shine as light. I am set upon a hill and I cannot be hidden. I am an effective witness of the kingdom because I walk in love.
