Yesterday, we identified two steps to breaking delay and stagnation.
Let’s continue…
Step 3: Change Your Actions
The third step is to change your actions. This may seem simple, but it’s important.
If you want to be in a different place in life, then you need to take action and do something about it. If you want something different from your life, then maybe it’s time to do something differently too.
It can be easy to fall into the routine of doing the same things over and over again, but that isn’t going to make your dreams come true. You have to start doing something different in order for anything else to happen.
Take some time today and write down what you want from your life, both professionally and personally. What are your goals? What would make you happy? And commit yourself now to taking some time each day to work on reaching them.
Step 4: Build a Better Future for Yourself
The fourth step for breaking the yokes of delay and stagnation is to build a better future for yourself. When you’re facing difficulty in your current situation, it can be hard to imagine a better future. But with a little creativity and imagination, you can start building that better future right now.
For example, if your job is unsatisfying or you aren’t getting paid enough, see what opportunities are out there in other fields. You could research different careers that appeal to you and see which one would be the best fit. Maybe you’ve always loved social work or writing? Or maybe this opportunity will open an entirely new door for you.
The point is that by building a better future for yourself, you’ll have more power over your life. And when we have more control over our lives, we tend to feel happier and more satisfied with our current situation.
Conclusion;
The way you think, what you do, and what you create now will determine your future.
You can break the yokes of delay and stagnation and create a better future for yourself. If you feel like you are stuck, stuck, stuck and can’t get out, it is time to take action and break through. Get restless!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY No more delays. My wedding is happening soonest.
PRAYERS FOR THE DAY I bind the spirit of delay in my life in Jesus name.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? – Isaiah 29:17 (KJV)
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Start preparing for your marriage now.
In this season like never before, God has an agenda for His people to fulfill. God wants families to be ready for this move.
God is going to be using ordinary men and women like He did in bible times, regular men and women from all works of life, mothers and fathers with literally no names, no fantastic educational qualifications, no high standards, no pedigrees, to birth the agenda of heaven.
Mums and dads who know how to pray and birth the move of God, mothers with wombs to intercede for communities and nations, others, who during the normal course of their daily routines will pray for revival and pray for God to mightily use their children.
For this to happen, they must know their authority in Christ and know how to use it.
All authority has been given to us in Christ. That is what the Bible tells us
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. – Mat 28:18
We have to take God’s Word, believe in it and act as though it is true because it is true.
We have to manifest this power first in our homes. Like David in the Bible, he defeated the bears first before he had the courage to defeat Goliath.
We have to command the devil to stop in his maneuvers in the life of our children. Cast out the devil of insecurity, depression, anger, lack, poverty, fear, from off our family.

We have to take up our authority and command the devils to take his filthy hands off our family members. Take authority over a sleepless baby, an hyperactive toddler, and command the enemy to lose its grip over our teenagers.
We got to plead the blood of Jesus in Jesus name over our children’s school, whether nursery or university and break the power of negative influence over our children. Break the influence of social media and internet and pray the fear of God on them
When we begin to do this, we are learning to exercise our God given authority. We will begin to see the mighty move of God in our lives, families, and society in general.
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. – Luk 10:17-20
May God grant us understanding!
God bless our marriages
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I am in charge of my home. I align myself to the end time agenda of God
PRAYER FOR THE DAY I nullify every activity of the devil over my family.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. – Mat 28:18
The bible makes us understand the immense power of words. Words can build up your future or break down your life.
Prov. 13:2 “Be careful what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys his life.” (GNB)
This verse cautions us to watch what we say as our words are so powerful to create what we say.
Our words can make or break us. What we say is what we see and become. The words you speak have an impact on your life.
The more you keep complaining about a situation, the more it worsens. Rather, choose to say positive words about it.
You don’t deny that there is a problem, but you choose to look at it through positive lenses.
Use words that show you believe the situation will get better and won’t last forever. You have to keep believing that and let your actions show you believe.
You can choose to say things like “I am grateful that my parents are giving me an education.
I will meet and make nice, God-fearing friends here.
Things will work out well for me.” and so on.
So, when next you feel like complaining about a situation or someone, remember to choose your words wisely.
God bless and keep your words safe.
Prayer: Lord God, thank you for your grace that helps me speak wisely. I will continually speak positive, pleasant, and life-giving words as from today. In Jesus name. Amen.
Action plan: Start to speak positively about your life
Parents: My children speak edifying words because they know the power of words.
Declaration: My children are mindful of what they say. Their lips are guided into all truth.
The Blessed Man was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 16th of March 2022 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
Psalm 1:1-3 (NKJV) Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
The word blessed is extremely important. The blessing is tangible – it can be handled.
The proof of a blessed man is in his fruits, and the proof of a cursed man is also in his fruits. The blessed man is favoured.
When a blessed man believes he’s cursed, he reduces the influence of the blessing upon his life.
How will you know what you believe? It’s in your words.
Your words are a reflection of your thoughts.
Matthew 12:34 (NKJV) Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Whatever is in your heart will come out through your mouth. Your mouth follows your heart.
You must be careful of the things that go through your eyes and ears, because they determine the content of your heart.
Words show a man’s heart.
If you words are good, the devil can’t cut you down – your destiny, your life, etc.
Matthew 3:10 (NKJV) And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Your words can bring life to you or cause an opening (breach) in the spirit.
Proverbs 15:4 (KJV) A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit.

It’s possible you have been waiting for certain things to happen. You may be waiting for your business to take off, waiting for that next big raise, or waiting for a new job. It can be easy to get stuck in a rut of disappointment, and it can seem like the only way out is to wait for something better to come along. But what if there was a different way? What if you could break the yokes of delay and stagnation by making small changes in your life?
Delay is a yoke. Stagnation is a yoke. That looks like a bad news! But you know what? There is also good news! The yoke of delay and stagnation can be broken!
Let’s take a look at the scriptures.
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. – Gen 27:40 (KJV)
Take a look at The Message Translation.
You’ll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you’ll serve your brother. But when you can’t take it any more you’ll break loose and run free. – Gen 27:40 (MSG)
What steps do you take to break off these yokes?
Step 1: Get restless. Be angry.
Get to the point when you can’t take it anymore. When you get to this point, you are getting ready to break loose from the yokes of delay and stagnation.
Recognize the problem. The first step to breaking the yokes of delay and stagnation is recognizing you have a problem. The first step to solving your problem is admitting that it exists.
Recognizing what’s holding you back from success can be a difficult process, but it’s necessary if you want to move forward.
Step 2: Identify Your Thoughts and Beliefs
One of the most important steps to breaking the yokes of delay and stagnation is identifying your thoughts and beliefs.
What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What do you think about this situation? Noticing what your thoughts and beliefs are can help you change the way you approach your situation.
Sometimes, when things don’t work out, we make it seem like it’s because of something that someone else did or didn’t do. But really, it came down to how we were thinking.
If we want to break the yokes of delay and stagnation, one thing we can start with is noticing our thoughts. Once you identify what your thoughts are, it may be easier to change them into something more empowering.
For example: “I’m a failure because I haven’t reached my goal yet” becomes “I’m doing everything I can to reach my goals.” This could be just enough to break free from the negative thought pattern that’s keeping us stuck in our rut!
