"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
I bid your bright blessings as I greet you, welcoming you to this sentimental Soul-searching Saturday. There is a profound prominence as I share my testimony.
In my Soul-searching today, I recall, recollect and reflect on the course of my life. It was 25 years ago that I was given the prognosis of a 6 month life expectancy. Yet, here I remain…But God!
This experience is the personification of “what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good”.
Today, I am reminded that the terrain of our Getting F.I. T. for L.I.F.E. journey consists of highways and horizons, hills and hollows, mountains and meadows, pathways and pastures, rocks and ridges, valleys and vistas.
As I recall, recollect, and reflect I am also reminded of God's word in John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”.
There is nothing like a death decree to inspire the desire to have life, to have life more abundantly. For me, not only was the desire for life abundantly ignited, but I discovered Fundamental Intrinsic Truths of what abundantly really means. Abundantly refers to acknowledgement, alignment, prioritizing and preserving that paves the way for L.I.F.E. -Living Indelibly Fruitful Experiences.
Today, I declare that a death decree is not a death sentence.
I declare that my motivation is anchored in an unshakeable, divinely fueled purpose. Because my life was preserved by a higher decree, I do not merely exist; I live with intentional, fiery passion. Every morning I wake is a visual anchor of God’s grace, and I fully charge my spirit to pursue the assignments placed before me. I reject complacency, and I fuel my days with the remembrance of where I have been and the grand vision of where I am going.
I declare that I am a person who takes affirmative action. I do not wait for the terrain to become smooth before I move forward as my steps are ordered by the Lord. I lace up my boots and step up and step boldly onto the highways, up the mountains, and through the valleys. I build momentum through obedience. I step out in faith, knowing that my feet are guided and that stagnant waters breed no life. I choose to move, to speak, to build, and to impact.
I declare that I am actively creating opportunities. I am not passive, waiting for doors to open; by faith and strategic effort, I speak to the gates and watch them shift. Where there is a lack, I bring a supply of creativity. Where there is a hollow, I plant seeds of promise. I recognize that the abundant life requires me to look at a blank canvas and confidently paint the horizons of tomorrow.
I declare that I am winning with wisdom. I do not fight battles with carnal strength, but with spiritual maturity and divine discernment. I draw from the deep well of my twenty-five-year testimony. I walk in the Fundamental Intrinsic Truths of acknowledgement, alignment, prioritizing, and preserving. This wisdom is my shield and my strategy, ensuring that every victory is sustainable and every season is seasoned with understanding.
I am Getting F.I.T. for L.I.F.E.—Living Indelibly Fruitful Experiences—more abundantly, today and forevermore.
Heavenly Father, Thank You. Thank You for the gift of today, for this milestone of twenty-five years, and for every single breath that defied the enemy's decree. You are the author of my life, the keeper of my days, and the source of my abundant joy. Lord, as I stand on this mountain looking back at the valleys and ahead at the horizons, I ask that You solidify these words in my heart. Give me the strength to lace up my boots every morning and the divine wisdom to win every battle before me. Order my steps, open the gates of opportunity, and let my life continue to be a living, breathing testimony of Your grace. May I live indelibly, fruitfully, and abundantly today and always.
Be blessed; be encouraged; live life more abundantly. In the name of Jesus.
Happy Saturday. Amen.
