Your colleague says
that this week is going to be a lousy one because the new boss is mean. You
disagree and say that it is going to be a blessed week. Both of you will go
through the same week, but with very different outcomes. While your friend’s
week will indeed turn out to be a lousy one, yours will be filled with the
favor of the Lord!
In the Old Testament,
when someone brought what he had to the priest for a valuation, whatever the
priest assessed the value of the item to be, it was so. If he assessed it to be
of good value, then it was of good value. If he assessed it to be of poor
value, then it was of poor value.
Today, you are also a
priest because of Jesus’ blood (see Revelation 1:5–6). And “as you, the priest,
value it, so it shall be.” If you assess your year to be one of financial
breakthroughs, so it will be for you. If you assess your life to be filled with
divine health, so it will be for you.
There was a stroke
patient who was bedridden. While listening to my recorded sermons, he assessed
that with God as his salvation, his life would be long and satisfying (see
Psalm 91:16). He believed that God would help him walk again. Not too long
after his assessment, he was able to walk and was no longer bound to the bed! The
next assessment he made about his health was complete recovery with God as his
helper.
Actually, you have
more authority than the Levitical priests of the Old Testament. They were of
the old priesthood of mortal men. But you are of the greater and “forever”
priesthood of Jesus (see Hebrews 7:8,17)! Not only that, you are a king-priest
(see Revelation 1:6). In other words, you are a king as well! And as a king,
your assessment is also binding because where the word of a king is, there is
power (see Ecclesiastes 8:4)!
My friend, this means that you have a double portion of assessment power. Therefore, boldly assess good things for your life, and it will be so for you! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
