Today's Word: May 21, 2022
When we say that God is sovereign, that means He reigns over everything you face. Not only does He reign over the universe, but He reigns over your life, your finances, your career, your marriage, and your children. He has the final word over it all. You may be dealing with a bad medical report, but the God who reigns says, "I'm restoring health to you." Keep Him on the throne. When thoughts tell you that you're never going to get well, just say, "No, thanks. My God has the final say over my health. It may not have happened yet, but healing is coming."
Are you spending more time thinking about problems or God's promises? Are you talking more about how big the challenge is or how big your God is? Don't dwell on what seems impossible. God overrides whatever is trying to stop you. Now stay in faith. When you get in agreement with God, He'll make things happen that you could never make happen. God has the final say.
We all have dreams and goals that we want to accomplish. We know God has put it in our heart to start a business, to help build an orphanage, or to send our children to college, but we don't have the resources, the position, or the influence to do it. It seems as though we're limited. But the Scripture says, "The wealth of the ungodly is laid up for the righteous" (Proverbs 13:22). Other versions say that it will be given or transferred to the righteous.
You may not be able to accomplish your dreams on your own. What's in your heart is too big for your bank account. You have the vision, you want to leave your family better off, but you don't have the position. The good news is that a transfer is coming. God doesn't give you the vision without having provisions. He's already lined up the transfers--good breaks and divine connections. Because you're the righteous, because you keep God first place, you're faithful, generous, and good to others, God says He's going to take from those who are not using their resources in a positive way. They're not using their influence or their means to help mankind. They're only focused on themselves, and He's going to transfer that into your hands. It's going to be out of the ordinary, where you have the means to accomplish things you've never dreamed. You can leave an inheritance to your children's children, expand your business, support a girls' home, or move into a nice neighborhood.
Here's the key: You don't have to chase the blessing. When you chase after God, the blessing will chase you. These transfers will track you down. The Scripture says that when you honor God, His blessings will overtake you. One version says they will catch you by surprise. You won't see it coming. You never dreamed you could pay off your house or send your child to college, then suddenly a transfer comes--a promotion, an inheritance, a business opportunity. You never dreamed you'd be running your department at work. What happened? You came into a transfer. God took you from the back to the front, from renting to owning, from not having enough to more than enough.
This transfer is not just material things. It's also influence and prestige. People who didn't give you credit or value your ideas will see you in a new light. Just keep doing the right thing and being your best. They may discount you now, but a transfer is coming. The day is coming when you'll be in a position of honor and influence. It's going to happen suddenly. You couldn't make it happen. It's the hand of God.

This August, COME HOME TO HOPE with Joel & Victoria at Yankee Stadium.
You will not want to miss this night filled with an inspiring message of God's promises and uplifting testimonies to give you new hope.
There will be these times when you dig down deep and do the right thing when it’s hard, that you will come into your tenth day. Something will suddenly break: that addiction won’t have power over you, that bad attitude, that temper. It may not totally go away, but it doesn’t control you anymore. I wonder how much higher we would go, how much more of God’s favor we would see, if we would start putting off our old self. If we would start saying no to the things that are holding us back.
