THE POWER OF POSITIVE CONFESSION

100 POSITIVE CONFESSIONS

INTRODUCTION

We must begin to speak like kings and princess which we are – The

Bible tells us in 2Cor. 5:20 “If any man be in Christ, He is a new creature,

old things have past away, behold all things have become new.” This

new life covers what comes out from our lips.

Our lips should carry new revelations, new wisdom, new songs, positive

confessions and above all power to create.

God said in Genesis 1 – “Let there be light” and there was light. We, who

are created in God’s own image and likeness, also possess God’s

creative ability, when we become born-again.

We must learn to maximize these creative powers in our tongue and

proclaim boldly – “I shall have what I say. I believe therefore, I receive”. I

speak the same thought as God, and His words coming out of my mouth

shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish the purpose for which I

sent it. In Jesus name it shall be done. As Christians we are not immune

from temptation. Infact they come to us on daily basis in form of negative

thoughts.

But we can take every negative thoughts captive into the obedience of

Christ by speaking the word of God.

These words are helpful for those that may be struggling with battles in

the mind.

Confessing the word of God is one way we can overcome.

Page 3: The Power of Positive Confession

As we daily confess positively, these five things will begin to happen:

Every aspect of your life will begin to experience changes (positive

confession is a catalyst of change).

You will begin to fulfill your destiny in life (positive confession is

your passport to your place of destiny in life).

You begin to possess your God-given success (confession

precedes possession).

Your direction in life will become clearer (positive confession sets

your direction and determine how far you can go).

Our lives are sustained (positive confession will sustain us when

all hope is gone).

I am a success not a failure (Joshua 1:8)

Lots of folks always see failure in all they do. The reverse should be the

case as believers. We must have a success mentality, and uproot every

seed of failure. Never believe what others may say about that venture

you are about to go into. Hold firmly to God’s unchanging word, which

contains the promises of success.

I am a blessing not a burden (Genesis 22:17 – 18)

Some individuals are like yoke or burden on others. People do all they

can to avoid these set of individuals like plagues.

Are you a blessing or a burden? The choice is yours. The Lord has

created you to be not just a blessing, but also a channel of blessing.

I am a city set on a hill not on a valley (John 8:23)

The valley is a place meant for mediocre. The hill is where champions

dwell. Samson was born a champion, but immediately he took a wife

3

Page 4: The Power of Positive Confession

from the valley of Sorek, that was the beginning of his downfall. You

must make a bold decision to remain on the top of the hill and never

think of going down to the valley. Like the scripture tells us – “I will look

up to the hill from whence cometh my help” (Ps. 121:1)

I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me (Phil

4:13)

Some individuals are specialists in speaking negatively about any

situation they find themselves. They daily fill their thoughts with “I

cannot”. I cannot be rich, I cannot be healthy, I cannot have children, I

cannot be the first, I cannot get married, I cannot get that job……. etc.

It is really disheartening that Christians also indulge themselves in these

negative confessions. We must realize that all things are possible to

them that believe in the Lord. With men, it may be impossible, but with

God all things are possible.

I am the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13)

Some individuals take delight in being the tail in all areas of their life.

They are either afraid to be the head, or they feel uncomfortable when

they are on top. Your destiny is at the head, not the tail.

I am above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13a)

It is not sinful to aspire to become the president of a country, or the

governor of a state or the chairman of a local government. It is only sinful

when we choose to be beneath others all the days of our lives.

Who says you cannot be the leader of people? You have all it takes,

because you have the wisdom of God dwelling in you.

Page 5: The Power of Positive Confession

I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14)

Some years ago, I was talking with a wonderful sister, and she said

something very depressing: “People say that I am too fat and ugly.” I

tried to convince this beloved sister that what she was told wasn’t the

truth, but it was impossible. She had already registered the negative

comment about her beauty in her subconscious. We must have a high

opinion about ourselves. You are created in a unique way and when you

see yourself in the light of that truth, nobody can say anything contrary to

change your feeling. You are the best God created.

I am the apple of God’s eyes (Deuteronomy 32:10)

This is one of the biggest revelations in Gods word, because knowledge

of this fact gives us peace and rest from every attack of the enemy.

Before anyone can touch or harm you, he/she must harm the lord first,

which is as impossible as the sun rising from the North.

I am a lender and not a borrower (Deuteronomy 15:6)

The borrower is a slave to the lender; hence we must break ourselves

free from the yoke of borrowing. As children of the all Sufficient God, we

are created to lend to the nation and not borrow.

I am fruitful not barren (2Peter 1:8, Exodus 23:26)

Lots of families are daily afflicted with barrenness, which may be a result

of one medical defect or the other, spiritual curse or affliction by the

5

7

8

10

Page 6: The Power of Positive Confession

enemy. And as with the times of old, the lord has sent his assurance of

fruitfulness to his children – “none shall be barren in the land”. If Sarai at

an old age was still able to bring forth a child, then the lord will surely

shame all those that have mocked you, and cause you to be fruitful in

Jesus name, Amen.

I am a victor, not a victim (1John 5:4)

We often hear of accident victims, kerosene explosion victims or armed

robbery victims, Air crash victims etc. These accidents leave in their

wake sorrow, pains and heartache. Today, the yoke of been victim is

broken, and we declare boldly that we are victors. In every area of our

lives, we are more the conquerors.

I am a winner, not a looser (2Corinthians. 2:14)

The Brazilian National team has a winning mentality. They enter into the

field to play with one purpose - “To win”. This winner mentally saw them

winning the world cup at Korea – Japan 2002 and also made them the

No. 1 footballing nation according to FIFA ranking. So many individuals

and even Christians enter into various ventures with half of their heart

beating failure, failure, failure, and they end up eventually on the loosing

side. Beloved sons and daughters of God, you are born to be winners,

not losers.

I am a child of joy not sorrow (Isaiah 61:3)

Joy attracts light, while sorrow attracts darkness. No wonder Jabez cried

out to the lord “to enlarge his coast”. Jabez was not happy because his

name was influencing every aspect of his life. No matter what the enemy

steals from you, never allow the enemy to steal your joy, because with

6

11

12

13

Page 7: The Power of Positive Confession

joy, comes strength. Sorrow may last for a night, but joy comes in the

morning

I am a divine project, not an abandoned project (Philippians

1:6)

One major feature of the Federal, State and Local Government is the

constant issue of abandoned projects. Billions of naira is yearly wasted

on projects which are later abandoned by dubious contractors. But thank

God we have a heavenly father who delights in starting and ending

everything concerning us. He will never abandon us. That is a promise

he has constantly kept.

I am a solution, not a problem (Isaiah 8:18)

Some individuals are celebrated in gatherings, because their presence

carries with them solution where there was an existing problem. So

many are like problem children. Anywhere they go, they leave with them

a trail of problems. Instead of attracting people, they end up

discouraging people. Desire to be a solution to your generation. The

Wright brothers solved the problem of transportation with their invention

of Aeroplane.

I am a child of destiny not of accident (Jeremiah 1:5)

A child of destiny is 100% sure of what he / she is born to achieve. A

child of destiny can never be stranded in life. On the contrary, those who

feel they came into this world by accident, never aspire to make any

impact in any chosen field. They are never happy. They end up making

up the numbers, and go just as they came. You are a child of destiny –

you were perfectly and thoughtfully created. You are endowed with

7

14

16

Page 8: The Power of Positive Confession

wonderful gifts to fulfill that destiny. Go ahead and begin to work into

your God-given destiny.

I shall not lack anything good (Psalms 34:10)

The scripture tells us in Psalms 105, how God gave his beloved people

quail to satisfy their hunger and bread to keep them strong. The lord also

gave them water when they become thirsty. That same God is still able

to provide your every need. He knows what is good for you, and as you

call upon him today, he is ready to satisfy your heart desire.

I am destined for heaven, not hell (John 14:1 – 3)

Any sane individual who have had a glimpse of hell, will not even wish

his enemy to go there. The story of the Richman and Lazarus is a typical

illustration of the horrifying experiences that awaits those that go to hell.

In contrast, heaven is a place of peace, joy, gladness and abundance.

There would be no weeping or sickness there. It is a place specially

prepared for the saints. If you have not started making preparation to

spend eternity there, you better start right away. The choice of where

you will spend eternity is the greatest choice you can ever make here on

earth.

I shall not die, but live to declare the good works of the

lord (Psalms 118: 17).

Majority of people (Christians inclusive) live with the constant fear of

death. It is a demonic yoke which must be broken to enable you live

victoriously. Dave became afraid when his 20th birthday anniversary was

approaching.

8

17

18

19

Page 9: The Power of Positive Confession

Reason: Two of his other siblings died before the celebrated their 20th

birthday and an unusual fear enveloped the entire family as Dave was

about to clock 20.

Thank God for faithful men, as a prayer session was held at their family

home, where the spell of death was eventually broken, and Dave is alive

today, declaring the good works of the lord. Never believe what the

enemy says, because he has no right to terminate your life, since he did

not create you. You shall not die, but live. If you refuse to die, no man

can bury you alive!

I am an asset, not a liability (Proverbs 31:10 – 29)

Finding yourself with someone who is a liability is one of the most

funniest and difficult task to undertake. Even more pathetic is a situation

when that individual happens to be your wife or husband – you need

divine intervention. Proverbs 31 tells us of the virtuous woman. This

woman does not only have multiple virtues, but she is also an asset to

the husband, family and community. Do people see you and run away or

do the community or society entrust responsibilities on you due to the

Assets you possess? Every spirit of liability is destroyed from your life

today. Begin to acquire assets for exploits.

Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world

(1John 4:4b)

When little David came face to face with mighty Goliath, he knew Goliath

will fall, because he (David) was carrying something greater than twenty

Goliaths added together. The spirit of God that dwells in you is capable

of destroying every opposition standing between you and your

breakthrough. The devil can only bark, he cannot bite. So never be

9

20

21

Page 10: The Power of Positive Confession

afraid of the enemy. Reason: The combined forces of darkness cannot

withstand the power of God inside of you.

I am favoured not cursed (Proverbs 8:35)

My beloved brother or sister out there, you may be feeling lonely,

discouraged and abandoned. You may think you are cursed or destined

for failure or disappointments.

Not so my dear, you are not cursed. Looking at the story of Esther, one

will see many reasons for her to give in to discouragement. Esther chose

to hold on to her unfailing God. She became highly favoured by God and

by the King Ahaserus. Today, I release the favour of God upon your life.

Every curse will begin to disappear, because the lord has redeemed you

from all curses through his precious blood.

I am encouraged, never to be discouraged (1 Samuel

30:6)

Discouragement is a killer. When it comes, all hope seems lost, and the

individual looses the will to continue. Some commit suicide or die slowly

and painfully. Discouragement is a trick of the enemy formulated to cut

short your destiny in life. The scripture tells us that David encouraged

himself in the lord his God. He was greatly distressed and had a

thousand and one reasons to give in to discouragement, but he chose to

encourage himself. Even if others don’t encourage you, go ahead and

encourage yourself.

My ending shall be better than my beginning (Haggai

2:9)

10

22

23

24

Page 11: The Power of Positive Confession

When others think it is over for you, rejoice and be glad because they

have forgotten that your very life is inscribed in the palm of the lord, and

he is ready to lift you when you are down. Job lost all he had, but not

even his wife could persuade him to curse God and die. The result was

so glaring – “The lord blessed the later end of Job more than his

beginning”.

I am not a pity, but envy to my generation (Genesis 26:12–

14)

Isaac dwelled in the land of Gerar, where there was famine and lack.

Instead of complaining and winning awards in self pity competition, the

scripture tells us that he waxed great and went forward and grew until he

became very great. The result was that the Philistines envied him. Why

won’t they envy him, when it was obvious that he was a success.

Nobody ever envies a poor man. Never try to win the pity of others.

Choose rather to be an envy to your generation.

I refuse to be intimidated (1Samuel 17:32 – 37)

The enemy is the master of intimidation. If one is faithless, the result of

intimidation is outright fear and then defeat. David though he was small

refused to be intimidated, because the lord was with him. If God is with

you, why must you be intimidated? Just like Goliath fell flat before David,

all forms of intimidation will fall down in the mighty name of Jesus.

I confess “The anointing of the Holy one abideth in me” I

possess yoke destroying results by the anointing (1John

2:27; Isaiah 10:27)

The anointing that breaks every yoke abides in every believer. The yoke

of barrenness, sickness, oppression, failure, rejection etc cannot

11

25

26

27

28

Page 12: The Power of Positive Confession

withstand that anointing that dwells inside you. Begin to manifest the

power of the anointing.

I confess “I lay my hand on the sick and they shall recover” I

possess positive healings for the oppressed (Mark 16:18)

Jesus Christ promised his disciples that greater things shall they do in

his name. In the name of Jesus, when hands are laid on the sick, they

shall recover. The nature of a sickness is not a parameter to the efficacy

of the healing that comes upon the oppressed when the hands of an

anointed child of God are laid on the oppressed. Never be afraid to lay

your hands on the sick. It is an instruction, just do it and the Lord will do

the healing.

The enemies that rise up against me in one way will flee

before me in seven ways. (Deuteronomy 28:7)

Seven stands for completeness. It implies that their fleeing will be

complete and total. None will remain to torment you anymore.

When the lord rises on your behalf and scatter the enemies, they have

only one option: To flee.

After the enemies have all ran away, you will have rest on all sides.

I will tread upon the serpent and scorpions and over all the

works of the enemy and nothing shall hurt me (Luke 10:19)

Serpent and scorpions stand for devil and its agents. The implication of

Luke 10:19 are that we have absolute power over the Devil and its

agents. Serpents and Scorpions may be dangerous and deadly, but

children of the living God are more powerful and deadlier.

12

29

30

31

Page 13: The Power of Positive Confession

I confess “My God shall supply all my needs” I possess

the supply of every need (Philippians 4:19)

There may be period of lack or want, but that does not erase the all

sufficiency of God. I have personally experienced one need or the other,

but at the end, God miraculously supplied my need. He is still the same

yesterday, today and forever.

I confess “The lord shall preserve me from all evil” I possess

preservation from all forms of evils. (Psalms 121:7)

When the angel of God visited the camp of Pharaoh and killed all the

first born children of the Egyptians, the children of Israel were sound

asleep. They were all preserved. No evil shall come near your dwelling

this year in Jesus Name! Amen.

I confess “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see

God”, I possess the assurance that I shall see God for the

blood of Jesus has made me pure in heart (Matthew 5:8)

The most glorious moment will occur when we see the lord face to face

when we behold the wonderful presence of the one who died for our

sins. It would be the most wonderful moment.

I confess “Jesus is my lord” I possess salvation (Romans

10:9-10)

The greatest miracle that can happen to a man is the salvation of his or

her souls. Until you are saved, you are not safe. Peace and joy are

product of salvation. If you are going through this book, and you have

not yet experience the joy of salvation, why not go ahead and declare

Jesus as lord and saviour.

13

32

33

34

35

Page 14: The Power of Positive Confession

I confess “By his stripes I am healed” I possess healing (Isaiah

53:5)

The 39 stripes that came on the lord Jesus Christ stood for all the types

of ailments that can ever afflict us. As his blood flowed from his wounds,

the blood became a symbol of our healing. It was signed and sealed by

his blood.

I confess “The son has made me free” I possess

absolute freedom (John 8:36)

As many that are bound with one form of illness, oppression, curse or

circumstances, there is hope because the lord has made you free. That

is the main reason he had to leave his throne up above, to come and set

us free.

I confess “The love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the

Holy spirit” I possess the ability to love everyone (Romans

5:5)

Loving everyone including those who hurt us willingly, is one of the most

difficult things to do, even as Christians, but the Holy Spirit enables us to

do it.

Our love must not be selective or based on sentiment, but must be

Christ centred and compulsory.

I confess “The righteous are bold as a lion” I possess Lion-

hearted boldness in spiritual warfare (Proverbs 28:1)

Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He was not afraid of the devil, as

he triumphed gloriously over the devil.

As children of the Lord, we are of the tribe of Judah also. The lion gives

birth to little lions. These lions are never afraid of going to confront other

14

36

37

38

39

Page 15: The Power of Positive Confession

animals. The battle cannot be avoided; victory is sure, as the lord is

there to back us up.

I confess “I am the redeemed of the lord” I possess

redemption benefits everyday (Psalms 107:2)

Every redeemed child of God possesses some wonderful benefits which

include:

Healing from all forms of ailments

Promise of everlasting life.

Access to the throne of the Almighty

All round success

Fruitfulness in all areas of your life.

I am not shackled by sin, Demons or fear: “Thy God whom

thou serveth continually, He will deliver thee” (Daniel 6:16)

This is a faithful promise from the Almighty and the one who promises is

not a man that he will lie neither is he the son of man that he will repent.

All he has promise, he will do.

I am not oppressed by cares, difficulties and troubles; I am

“casting all my cares upon him, for the careth for me” (1Peter

5:7)

Never carry all the problem of this world on your shoulder. You will end

up dying before your time. Some people’s problems are visibly seen on

their faces. They behave like the fellow who after entering a bus taking

him to his destination, still carried his load on his head. We must learn to

cast all our cares upon the lord for he careth for us.

15

40

42

Page 16: The Power of Positive Confession

I am not without Joy; “His joy shall be in me, and my joy

shall be full” (John 15:11)

The joy of the lord is the greatest asset a man can ever possess. When

you remain joyful in the midst of trials and tribulation, even the enemy

will give up on your case. Choose to remain joyful even in the midst of

your problems, and experience real peace.

I am not in a loosing battle, “the lord shall fight for me,

and I shall hold my peace” (Exodus 14:14)

Many a times, we choose to fight our battles alone and it ends up hurting

us.

There was this fellow who was facing numerous battles on a daily basis.

He had tried to cope with the battles on his own, but he discovered his

strength was not sufficient enough. He eventually handed over the

situation to the lord. And one after the other, the lord began to deal with

each of the battles, until none remained. Those that rely on the lord can

never be on the loosing side.

I possess supernatural help in every situation, for I

confess “my help cometh from the lord, which made

heaven and earth” (Psalms 121:2)

Never you fall into the trap of relying on your uncle, brother, friend, father

or even mother. All these sets of people can disappoint you when you

least expect them to. Whatever the nature of help you need, the lord is

there to see you through.

I possess the ability to be a positive blessing, for I

confess “so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing”

(Zechariah 8:13)

16

43

44

45

Page 17: The Power of Positive Confession

It is a wonderful experience to receive the blessing of God, but it is even

more exciting when we become a source of positive blessing to others.

It lightens up their life and gives them joy and hope where there was

once darkness. That is the power of being a channel of blessing.

I possess wholesome, sound sleep at night, for I confess

“He giveth his beloved sleep” (Psalms 127:2)

Many people find it extremely difficult sleeping at night. Some resort to

taking pills, while others force themselves to sleep. Some are afraid to

sleep at night because of the fear of demons, witches and wizards.

The bible tells us how Jesus slept in the boat, while the disciples were

fear stricken, because of the storm that was threatening the boat.

Sound sleep is your heritage. Possess it!

I possess the assurance “my labour in the lord is

fruitful”, for I confess “for as much as ye know that your

labour is not in vain in the lord” (1Cor. 15:58)

We shall never be among those that labour in vain!

The lord assures us in his word - that the labourer will be first partakers

of the harvest.

I will never be a spiritual “Agbero” that shows people the way, and never

go inside.

I possess strength for my day for I confess “As thy days,

so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25)

17

46

47

48

Page 18: The Power of Positive Confession

It is a mystery that has been hidden from so many. As we grow older, we

get spiritually stronger.

More than anything else, we must desire to draw nearer to the lord, and

get strength with each passing day.

I possess special honour from my father for I confess “If any

man serve me, him will my father honour” (John 12:26).

Honour is given to whosoever deserves it. As long as you serve the lord

faithfully, your honour will never pass you bye. Elisha served his master

Elijah faithfully. He also served the lord. When it was his turn, God

honoured him.

I am not sick for “my father healeth me of all my

diseases” (Psalms 103:3)

No part of the scriptures ever recorded that Jesus was once sick. It

never occurred. And as Christians (Little Christ) we also have that same

power to live above sickness.

I am not bound for “the son has made me free” (John 8:36)

Just like we have physical prison to keep prisoners captive and physical

chains to bound people to restrict their movement, there is also spiritual

prison and chain which are used by the enemy to hold captive children of

God. But the good news Christ brought to mankind as prophesied in

Isaiah 61:1 – 3 “The spirit of the lord is upon me, because the lord hath

anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to

bind up the broken-hearted to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the

opening of the prison to them that are bound” we are free from every

shackles of the enemy and we have been given power to set others free.

What a wonderful privilege.

18

Page 19: The Power of Positive Confession

I am not defeated for “I am more than a conqueror through

Christ who loves me” (Roman 8:37)

A clear revelation of this word will free the spirit of every Christian from

the fear of defeat and failure.

The battle will surely come whether we like them or not, but one thing is

certain.

“If we know the God we serve, and realize that he has never lost any

battle before”, we will face any battle that comes our way confidently,

and come out victoriously.

I am not weak, for “the Lord will give strength unto His

people” (Psalms 29:11)

It grieves my heart many at times to see so called Christians behaving

like weaklings. Every little headache or fever and they begin to panic.

Any little noise under the bed and they cannot sleep at night. They live

daily like chickens, when they ought to live like eagles. The eagle is the

strongest bird in the air, never afraid of opposition, never tired of flying

higher. Today, choose to tear off every garment of weakness, and put on

the garment of strength. “The joy of the lord is your strength”.

I am not powerless, for “Ye shall receive power after the

Holy Ghost is come upon you”. (Acts 1:8)

One of the marks of a true Christians is power. Power to evangelize,

power to heal the sick, power to live holy lives, power to get wealth. The

promise of the Holy Spirit came with power, and as many that desire that

same Pentecostal power, it can be theirs.

19

53

54

Page 20: The Power of Positive Confession

Remember the power is not for gymnastics or for showmanship; it is for

the edification of the body of Christ.

Samson had raw power, but he never knew how to use it to the glory of

God. Whatever good thing is given to you, as long as its use is not

known, abuse of it is inevitable. Power can be abused when its use is

not known.

I am not lacking any good thing for “no good thing will be

withhold from them that walk uprightly (Psalms 84:11)

The word “good thing” entails everything that makes life meaningful –

Wealth, good health, success, children, cars, houses, life partner etc.

No wonder the bible encourages us in Matthew 6:25 – 33 not to think of

what to eat drink or put on, rather we should seek God’s kingdom and

walk uprightly, and all other things, including things that will make our

lives beautiful, will be added unto us.

I am not afraid of any plague for “there shall no evil befall

thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling

(Psalms 91:10).

A plague is an infectious disease that kills a lot of people or anything that

causes pain or trouble over a period of time.

In both instances, a plague is not something any sane individual would

embrace or desire to acquire.

The Almighty God has given every one of His children a foolproof

assurance, that no evil will befall you; neither shall any plague come

near your dwelling. It is a promise which cannot be broken.

20

Page 21: The Power of Positive Confession

I am not running from the devil for I am “resisting the

devil and he is fleeing from me. (James 4:7)

We must not run from the devil, because our back is not protected. It is a

matter of “No threat No surrender” No matter how fierce the battle may

be, one thing is certain, we would overcome, and the devil will flee in

terror. We are only allowed to flee from fornication, not the devil.

The devil is a toothless bull dog that can only bark and not bite.

Continually resist the devil and he will flee from you.

I confess “for with God nothing shall be impossible.” I

possess impossibilities becoming realities, I am linked

with God by divine birth (Luke 1:37)

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If you think impossibility you will

get impossible results.

Takes your eyes off yourself, and begin to enter into God’s own plan for

your life. David won the battle against Goliath, even before the first stone

was fired at the mighty giant (1 Sam 17:43 – 49). David knew that with

God, nothing is impossible.

Are you there thinking that all hope is lost, lift up your eyes and

strengthen those weak legs, because every mountain of impossibility

have already been broken down.

I confess “Blessed be the lord, who daily loads us with

benefits”, I possess a life daily loaded with the benefits

of the lord. (Psalms 68:19).

The life we live daily in Christ is not dull as many assume it to be.

Apart from the excitement and colour Christ adds to our lives, we also

have the added advantages of daily being loaded with countless benefits

from the smallest to the greatest benefit, nothing is left untouched. The

Psalmist knew what he was saying in Psalms 68:19, because he had

tasted of God’s daily benefits.

I confess “the lord will give strength unto his people;

the lord will bless his people with peace. I possess daily

strength and abundance of peace. (Psalms 29:11).

I confess “I am the light of the world: he that follows me

shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life “I

possess light upon life’s pathway for I am following Jesus

(John 8:12)

I confess “And God is able to make all grace abound toward

you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may

abound to every good work”. I possess all grace, abounding

grace, saving grace, healing grace, baptism grace, all-

sufficient grace (2Cor. 9:8)

I possess freedom from fear, for I confess “I the lord thy God

shall hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not” (Isaiah

41:31)

Majority of people live in perpetual fear – fear of darkness, fear of

untimely death, fear of accident, fear of heights, fear of failure, fear of

the unknown etc.

Fear is a spirit, and it torments. In the scripture, God encourages his

children to “fear not”. This phrase “fear not” appears more than a

hundred times, not by error, but to emphasize the need for us to be

afraid.

Christ conquered fear on the cross of Calvary when he cried “it is

finished”

I possess bountiful blessings financially for I confess “He

which soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully (2Corinthians

9:6)

As we sow into God’s vineyard, he is also mindful of our labour, and he

will duly reward us bountifully.

As we give to God’s work even in tithes and offering, he promised us in

Malachi 3:10 that He would open the windows of heavens and pour

upon us blessings, that there would not be sufficient room to contain it.

This is what I call bountiful financial blessing.

I possess the peace of God. For I confess “The peace of God

which passeth all understanding, shall keep your heart and

mind through Christ Jesus our lord” (Philippians 14:7)

As long as you are connected to Christ, who is the prince of peace, no

man can steal your peace.

Troubles may be raging on your left, right, back and front, but your

peace is secured, because it is not based on circumstances, but on

Christ the Solid Rock, which no man can move.

23

Page 24: The Power of Positive Confession

I possess eternal life, for I confess “my sheep hear my

voice and I give them eternal life” (John 10:27).

Eternal life promised as many that believes in the lord as the saviour of

their life. It is a life more precious than gold or silver. Nothing can be

compared to it.

I possess continued guidance for I confess, “The lord

shall guide me continually”. (Isaiah 58:11)

The lord guides us through the help of the Holy Spirit. Angels also stand

as guide over our lives, but they are not often seen. The pathway of life

is filled with lots of potholes, and it takes the continual guidance of the

lord to see us through. “The word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a

lamp unto our path” (Psalms 119:105). They that rely absolutely on Gods

unchanging word can never get stranded in life.

I confess “as far as the east is from the west, so far hath

he removed our transgressions from us” I possess the

assurance that my sins are removed from me, hallelujah!

(Psalms 103:12)

Many of us find it hard to believe that our sins have been forgiven us.

Thus, we allow Satan to torment us with our past. We forget that we

have been fortified by the precious blood of Jesus. And as 2Cor. 5:17

tells us, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have

passed away; behold, all things have become new”.

24

I confess “I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh” I

possess the spirit out poured upon my life continually.

(Acts 2:17)

We are in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, and there is a mighty

outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the thirsty souls in our generation. The

outpoured spirit is a source of strength, power, wisdom and unction.

I shall reign over nations, but they shall not reign over

me (Deuteronomy 15:6b).

Man was created to reign over other creatures. As children of God,

Christ has given us power also to reign over nations and cities.

Lots of folks are however ignorant of the awesome power that have been

bestowed on them.

No wonder Solomon, the author of the book of Ecclesiastes tells us

about an error he observed: Servants rode upon horses while princes

walked as servants upon the earth. We must begin to reign like kings

and princes.

Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my

life (Psalms 23:6)

They that follow the lord as sheep follow their shepherd will never

struggle to feed or get favour from their shepherd.

The things most people pursue in life – cars, houses, riches, children etc

are supposed to pursue us, not the opposite way round (Deuteronomy

28:2) The shepherd careth for all the needs of his sheep, hence I am

25

69

71

Page 26: The Power of Positive Confession

confident that in every area of my life, I would continually experience the

goodness and mercy of God.

My head shall never lack fresh oil (Psalms 92:10)

One of the things the anointing oil does for a believer is that, it positions

the believer for unusual favour. It is the anointing that makes the

difference. Others may struggle to succeed, but because your head has

been freshly anointed, it will attract success, not struggle. Just like oil

attract things because of its sticky nature; our head will attract good

things from the lord in Jesus name! Amen.

Many a time, we conclude that some individuals head don’t have oil.

What it implies is that they are never lucky. Whereas others get

employed, they remain jobless inspite of their good credentials and CV.

Stand up on your feet and place your hands on your head and proclaim:

“My head shall never lack fresh oil.”

No Weapon formed against me can prosper (Isaiah 54:17)

We are in a cruel world, where Satan delights in killing, stealing and

destroying everything that brings us joy. The enemy Satan does this

through the deployment of different weapons. These weapons can be in

form of accidents, sickness, failure, death, disappointment barrenness,

oppression ……… the ultimate aim of the enemy is to crush and

eliminate its victim. The good news is this: No weapon formed against

me (put your name) shall proper! They will surely try all means, but they

can never succeed because we enjoy spiritual immunity against Weapon

26

73

Page 27: The Power of Positive Confession

of darkness. Trials and temptations will come no doubts, but we will

surely scale them through.

God has given me power to tread upon serpent and

scorpions and over all the power of the (Luke

10:19)

As believers, we engage in spiritual warfare daily, and the weapons of

our warfare are not carnal but spiritual. The word of God is a strong

weapon against the power of the devil.

Infact, Jesus in Mt. 4:1–11, used the power in the word, to overcome the

temptation of the Devil. The blood of Jesus, evil forces begin to

disappear. The name of Jesus is a strong tower the righteous run into it

and they are saved. The bible tells us in Phil 2:9-11, that God has highly

exalted Jesus and given him a name that is above every other name. At

the mention of his name every knee must bow, and all tongue must

confess that Jesus is Lord.

As you praises and worship God demons will begin to tremble.

Prison doors are opened and every demonic chain of oppression is

broken. That is the power of praise and worship (Acts 16:25-26).

I am an overcomer. I have overcome my adversary by

the blood of the lamb and by my confession (Revelation

12:11)

When we decide to put on an overcomers mentality and dump fear and

failure from our lives, every single part of our lives begin to behave like

true overcomers. If we tell ourselves daily that we can make it, we would

make it and overcome every insurmountable obstacle.

27

74

75

Page 28: The Power of Positive Confession

But on the contrary, if we confess with our own lips that we feel sickly

and weak, sickness will overcome us, and if we are not lucky, sickness

will consume us. Learn to confess positively and use the power in the

blood of the lamb against every one of your

The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now

lives in me and is energizing, motivating, empowering

and equipping me for total victory today and always

(Rom 8:11).

I am a new creation, old thing have passed away all

things have become new (2Corinthians. 5:17)

One of the things God promised is in his Word is that he will do a new

thing” Before God can do a new thing for us; we have to forget about the

old things. Jacob was tired of his condition, and he asked God for an

enlargement. Jacob was tried of been labeled a “deceiver” he fought

with an angel and asked for a blessing, and what did he get – “a brand

new name”. He becomes known as Israel. You may have failed in the

past, but God can make all things new in your life. He alone can

transform a barren woman, to become a mother of children. He alone

can turn lack to abundance. He alone can turn a man from mockery, to

become a celebrity.

God loves me and his plans for me are good (Jeremiah

29:11)

The fact that God loves me cannot be disputed. God mustn’t do

everything for me, before I can acknowledge his love for me.

28

76

77

78

Page 29: The Power of Positive Confession

My being alive today is a testimony to his love. Many of us would have

likewise perished if not for the love of God for us. The free gift of

salvation is also a proof of his love “for God so loved the world that he

gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him would not

perish but have eternal life” John 3:16

His plans for me are good, even through I may not be seeing all he has

in store for me. One thing is sure, God loves me and he has wonderful

things in stock for me.

If God is with me, therefore, nobody can be against me.

(Exodus 14:13-14)

Elijah told his servant not to be afraid of the number of the opposition.

They may be thousands, but the Lord that is in me is greater than the

greatest conciliation of the enemy put together.

God has the supernatural ability to confound every power of darkness

standing against us.

God is opening the windows of heaven for my sake and

rebuking the devourer for my sake. (Malachi 3:10-11)

Spiritual devours have one major target, to wreck havoc in our lives and

leave us devastated.

They come in form of spiritual cankerworms caterpillars, locust and

palmerworms. But as the window of heaven is opened on our behalf,

these spiritual devourers will be strongly rebuked.

God is able to mall all grace abound towards me, that I

always having all sufficiency in all things, may have on

abundance for every good work. (2Corinthians 9:8)

We can’t do much except the grace of god abound in us. Apostle Paul

said – “I am what I am by the grace of God”

When the grace of God is made available to the believer, nothing will be

lacking in his or her life. The grace of God is a catalyst of positive

change.

Every Word that I speak will not return unto me void,

but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall

prosper in the thing where to I sent it (Isaiah 55:11)

Eresi was just fifteen years old, when she was afflicted with

hypertension. She courageously spoke to the hypertensive situation –

“Lord you know I am innocent of this”, and that was all. Hypertension fled

from that beautiful daughter of Abraham. Like Eresi; we can speak the

word of God unto our situation, and it will prosper in the thing where to

we sent it.

I shall mount up with wings like the eagle. I shall run

and not be weary; I shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah

40:31)

Eagles never get tired of flying. They settle for things above. In contrast,

chickens dwell among dirt and they never fly for long. They love

scavenging for worms and crumbs on the ground. We must not settle for

crumbs. We must learn to soar like the eagle. Only then can we walk the

pathway of life without fainting and run the race set before us without

been weary.

30

Page 31: The Power of Positive Confession

I am above every circumstance in life (Ephesians 1:21)

Our lives should not be controlled by circumstances around us. The

economy of Nigeria should not be deciding factor in our Lives. We are

seated far above every circumstance in life, and we must not forget that.

In the land of Gerar, there was a terrible famine, Isaac still sowed in that

terrible land and reaped bountifully. The bible records that he waxed

great and went forward and grow until he became very great. Isaac was

above the circumstance in Gerar. You shall be great!

I will lay down in peace, and sleep for the Lord makest

me to dwell in safety. (Psalms 4:8)

Lots of folks go to bed ach night, but can’t sleep peacefully.

They go through what medical experts call insomnia (inability to sleep).

This unusual ailment may be caused fear of the unknown or problems of

life. But the Lord has assured that he will make you to dwell in safety.

Right in the midst of a great storm, when all the disciples of Jesus were

afraid of premature death, the Bible records that Jesus Christ was at the

hinder part of the ship sound asleep (mark 4;35 – 41). That is a great

lesson for those who cannot sleep because of one storm or the other.

This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be

glad in it (Psalms 118:24)

Each day comes with its own unique blessing and we can harness these

blessing when we can harness these blessings when we cultivate the

right attitude. You cannot wake up early in the morning and start the day

with complaint, and expect that day to be glorious. What we say

concerning any particular day eventually determines how the day turns

out to be.

31

84

Page 32: The Power of Positive Confession

If we confess with our lips “Today will be fruitful and prosperous for me

and my household”, it will be so according to your faith. The scripture

tells us “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).

Whatsoever I lay my hands on shall prosper (Psalms

1:3b)

Stories abound of business men and women young entrepreneurs and

determined folks, who have been blessed with multiple streams of

income. The secret of their success lies in the covenant they made with

the lord, tapping into (Psalms 1:3b) “Whosoever I lay my hands upon

shall prosper” The list is endless – Felix Ohiwerei, Mike Adenuga, Pat

Utom, jimoh Ibrahim. They all have one thing in common. They are

involved in major sectors of the economy, and they are prospering.

Never be discouraged by comments of individuals, even as you

contemplate to go into one venture or the other. If God blesses you, no

man can stop you from prospering.

I am too loaded to be frustrated (Genesis 39:1 – 21)

Joseph had a dream, a very bog dream. He wasn’t afraid to share the

dream with his father and brothers and that single act led to a

spontaneous reaction. He was sold into slavery, and the enemy tried all

he could to frustrate him from achieving his dream. But the fact was this

– Joseph was too loaded to be frustrated. Even in the pit of darkness, he

held on to his dream. Right there in Egypt, he never lost focus or got

frustrated even while in prison, and his strong determination and faith in

God took him to the throne.

Beloved brothers and sisters, you are too loaded to be frustrated. No

man born of a woman can frustrate God’s plan for your life.

32

87

88

Page 33: The Power of Positive Confession

The combined forces of darkness may try to do it, but none of their

counsel can stand.

I am a plus not a minus (John 21:25)

It is not only funny but also pathetic to observe how frustrating some

individual’s contributions are.

In Nigeria’s last world cup qualifying match for Germany, 2006 against

Angola, it was obvious that one of our key players in the attack was a

minus, and that was a contributing factor to our inability to win that

particular match. The coach foolishly delayed his removal till the second

half and it was pretty too late for any meaningful impact to be made. The

damage had been done. Nigeria failed to qualify for the world cup and

the coach was sacked.

We must desire to be a plus to our generation, and avoid meddling with

people who are minus. This is a major key to our success in life.

The lord has delivered me from every form of afflictions

(Psalms. 34:1)

There is no where in the scripture where we are promised immunity from

afflictions or temptations. Infact, the Bible says – “Many are the

afflictions of the righteous, but the lord delivereth him through them all.”

Afflictions may come in form of sickness – “the woman with the issue of

blood” is a classical example, but she overcame her affliction. It may

come in form of barrenness – Hannah, Sarai…” But they all had children.

It may be poverty – “The widow woman” but she became an oil merchant

and poverty disappeared.

Whatever be the affliction, the lord has assured us in his word that he

will deliver us from all forms of affliction.

33

89

90

Page 34: The Power of Positive Confession

The lord hast granted me life and favour, and his

visitation has preserved my spirit (Job 10:12).

When the lord visits a man, favour will inevitably follow that man.

Zacheus knew such secret and crave for the visit of Jesus Christ into his

home.

When the Lord visited Mary and Martha whose brother Lazarus had died

four days back, death was rebuked, and life came upon lifeless body.

We must all desire a visitation from the lord, and our lives will never be

the same. When angel Gabriel visited Mary, her life was transformed

beyond her imagination.

I am not created for reproach, I am created for signs

and wonders (Isaiah 8:18)

People are tired of hearing stories of our being children of God. They

want to see tangible signs and wonders following our claims. We must

become signs to our generation. We must desire the miraculous to begin

to unfold in our lives, and cause people to wonder where the miracles

are coming from. The Lord is wonderful, that is, He is full of wonders. We

who are connected to him are living testaments to our generation.

Reproach must be far from us. The Lord promised the Israelites that the

rod of the wicked shall not come upon the righteous who are far above

reproach.

I am a pillar, not a caterpillar. (Revelation 3:12)

34

91

92

93

Page 35: The Power of Positive Confession

A pillar is a support upon which a building stands. Any slight shift in the

pillar of a building could spell disaster as it happened in Judge 16:26 –

30, when Samson avenged his enemies by shifting the pillars in the

temple of Dagon. About 3000 men and women died when the pillar got

shifted. That is the power of a pillar.

On the other hand, a caterpillar is an insect that is destructive. It feeds

on the leaves of plants and leaves it dead. Many Christians are like

caterpillars. All they do is to destroy. They do this by gossiping, rumour

mongering, backbiting, strife and unnecessary envy.

The option is left to us. But I choose to be a pillar not a caterpillar.

I have the seed of greatness in me, therefore, I cannot

be small (Zechariah 4:10)

Planted in the heart of every human is a seed of greatness. Just like a

baby grows up physically to become a man, every thought and ideas we

have, can be nurtured into greatness.

If we are small, it is an indication of our attitude and mentality. A man

cannot rise beyond his attitude and mentality.

David was a little shepherd boy, but God has already planted in his heart

the seed of greatness.

Others may be satisfied with the little achievement. There are many

more achievements waiting to be accomplished.

I have a sound mind (2Timothy 1:7)

The lord tells us in his word that he has not given us the spirit of fear but

of boldness, of love and of a sound mind. You can never be confused in

your mind, as long as you stay connected to the prince of peace. You

35

94

95

Page 36: The Power of Positive Confession

can never get stranded in life’s journey as long as you stay connected to

the light of life.

Satan cannot defile my mind with filthy and negative thoughts. Never!

Confess aloud: “I have a sound mind, because I am created in the image

and likeness of God”.

I am making progress today and daily by the grace of

God (Philippians 3:14)

You may look back at how far you have come in life, and become

discouraged when you cannot see any meaningful progress. It is not

time for discouragement. Forget about the past and like Paul say – “I am

pressing forward towards the mark of my high calling”. Never you think

of the past, never get worried of the future. Focus in the present.

Resolve in your heart to make good use of today.

When you do this, you will discover you are making daily progress.

The riches of the gentiles are coming to me daily (Isaiah

61:6)

Beloved, never you make the mistake of envying sinners. There is

nothing to envy in their cars, building, clothes etc. when the time for you

to shine finally comes, all the riches of the faculties will be surrendered

to you. If you doubt me, check Genesis 12:36. Ask for favour in that

business of yours and you will be shocked as gentiles will be trooping to

buy from you daily.

It is not by using charms or juju. Darkness cannot comprehend light.

36

Page 37: The Power of Positive Confession

I shall suffer no loss today and always. (Acts 27:22)

The dark places of the earth are filled of the habitation of cruelty. We

need the grace of God to survive in this cruet world.

Lanre Modile was out in Alpha Beach, Lagos to enjoy himself during the

December picnic. The date was December 22nd, 2003, just three days to

Christmas. He never returned home from that picnic at Alpha Beach. His

disappearance is still a mystery and a big loss to his parents. We live in

a world filled with wickedness and we can do well to invoke the power of

God upon our life and family. As the lord liveth, “I shall suffer no loss”.

Today, my going out is blessed and my coming in is blessed!

(Deuteronomy 28:6).

Many go out healthy but return home sick. Some go out alive and return

as dead corpse. Others go out complete and come back deformed. The

enemy is out to steal, kill and destroy, but it will never come near our

dwelling. We shall go out blessed and return home more blessed in the

mighty name of Jesus! Amen.

I am waxing stronger and stronger on a daily basis. (Joshua

14:11)

I am waxing stronger and stronger in every area of my life! I refuse to be

sickly. I choose good health. I am waxing stronger in my business,

education, marriage and spiritual life.

Jesus grew and waxed great both in wisdom, stature and favour; hence,

I must do likewise. He was never sick for one minute. Even while he was

on the cross, he was very strong. Death could not hold him captive.

He triumphed gloriously over the enemy, and he has given us power to

tread upon serpent and scorpion, and over all the works of the enemy,

and nothing shall hurt us.
