⏩ COVENANT OF THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND OF GOD ⏪ DAY 23 "HIS HAND HAS GIVEN, ARISE AND POSSESS IT"



SCRIPTURE

Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.”


KEY STATEMENT

Today is the day the LORD, the Burden Remover, the yoke breaker will destroy every yoke that is holding you down by the Might of his hand in Jesus Mighty Name.

Though the hand of God is stretched toward you, it is still your responsibility to arise and take hold of your God-given blessing of deliverance.

In Deuteronomy 2:24, it is written, 
"Rise you up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle."

Many issues may have tied you down, many burdens and yokes may be pulling you down, perhaps its debt or sickness but the God of advancement says to you today, “ARISE”, "STAND UP", "ASCEND TO GREATER HEIGHTS" AND POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION .... 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ARISE ?

The word ARISE means :
  • “to get up or to stand up as from a lying or sitting position”, 
  • “to come into notice”,
  • “to be recognized”, 
  • “to ascend”. 
  • to move on to the next level, a higher level. You do not arise downward, you arise upward.
WHY TO ARISE ?

In Scriptures, we find many reasons to arise :

1ST REASON : ARISE TO POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION

In Genesis 13:17, God speaks to Abram and instructs him,  “Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; FOR I WILL GIVE IT UNTO THEE.” 

In Joshua 8:1 we read again God’s command to Joshua “…..Arise, go up to Ai: see, I HAVE GIVEN INTO THY HAND the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:” 


2ND REASON : ARISE TO WORSHIP THE LORD

In Genesis 35:3,  Jacob says to his family “…let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.” 


3RD REASON : ARISE TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY

The four lepers sitting at the gate of Samaria were sick and tired of poverty, of sitting at the gate begging, of being a burden to others. One day, they spoke to one another, and decided to arise and go to the camp of the Syrians. 

In  2 Kings 7:, we read this "And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?"

As they arose and moved, the Syrians who were holding back their wealth fled and left everything behind. In one night, their story changed and through them the story of the whole nation changed as well  

It is written in 2 Kings 7:7 "Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life."

MY PRAYERS

1) Is there anything that causes you not to arise? (discouragement? hopelessness? negative memory? apathy?) Pray the Father today to grant you the grace to rise above all those hindrances in the Name of Jesus Christ!
Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
2) Is your altar broken down by reason of evil powers or your own laziness? Pray for the grace to arise and rebuild your altar. Pray for the grace of spiritual consistency and commitment in your relationship with Him.
Genesis 35:3,  “…Let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.” 

MY DECLARATIONS AND PRAYERS

Today, God is commanding you to arise to possess your God ordained  possession.  In the Name of Jesus Christ, no one will take it away from you because it is for you. ARISE TODAY AND TAKE IT !

DECLARE IT AND PRAY----------------------------------

Today is the day God wants you to arise from murmuring and complaining to worship Him. He wants you to allow him  to fill your mouth with songs of worship. He wants you to offer unto Him sweet sacrifices and build altar that honors him. 

DECLARE IT AND PRAY----------------------------------

Today, as you arise from that statu quo and take the step of faith, I see your enemies who hold  back illegally your wealth releasing it back to you in the Name of Jesus Christ!


DECLARE IT AND PRAY----------------------------------

SO SHALL IT BE!

JESUS IS LORD!
