SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
MORE LESSON: Proverbs 24:15-16
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: 16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Memory Verse: For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 24:16
The present situation is not your destination. What you see now is not the whole story, so keep your eyes on the finish line. 2 Corinthians 4:17says: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Don’t let the pain of the present rob you of the promise of the future.
It is great wisdom to learn from those who have passed the way we are presently going through in life. If you want to walk in dominion, learn not to fall from those who fell, and how to rise from those who have risen. Ask questions, study patterns. Trace testimonies. There is no wisdom in mocking what you admire. You won’t increase by running down those who have already made it. Instead, draw close, observe, launch your move and exceed them (Proverbs 24:15-16).
Please don’t complain about what others have; connect to them and learn. Hebrews 13:5 admonishes us: Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” (BSB) Let wisdom guide your attitude. Humility is a ladder, and pride is a pit.
Even your taskmasters, those things that once dominated you, must come under your rule. In Exodus 7:1, God told Moses, “See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh” This means that what used to instruct you now takes instructions from you. That addiction, that depression and that limitation must bow, in Jesus’ name.
You are not under; you are above all. You must see yourself as God sees you—an overcomer, not a slave. You don’t conquer by focusing on where you are; you must rise by seeing where God is taking you. Rule what once ruled you!
Prayer/Action
* Ask God to help you fix your eyes beyond your struggle and fix them on His promises.
* Ask God to teach you wisdom and surround you with mentors who will guide you.
* Pray that every former oppressor will bow to your authority in God.
TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, none of your promises shall fail or fade in my destiny ever, in the wonderful name of Jesus.
