If you are unable to control your day, you will be unable to control your
life.
We all know it’s actually impossible
to orchestrate the inner workings of your day. Side balls,
curve balls and atomic bombs can be thrown at you at any moment taking
you from a place of peace to a place of frustration and unproductive. Despite
what we know could happen there is a still a way to maintain yourself and keep
your day focused on the course it should go.
The first thing you do in the morning will set
the tone of your day. King David said, early
in the morning will I seek Thee. Don't look lightly on that statement; King
David was very busy man; he was king over a vast kingdom, he defeated many of
Israel's enemies in war and still had time to be called a man after Gods own
heart. He too was busy. But yet he found time to seek after God. Before he went into any battle he would pray and
then write and sing songs of God’s goodness and faithfulness that we still
refer to today as the book of Psalms.
You can never be too busy to take control of your
life. Ultimately the way to control your
day is to spend time with the One who created the day. The way to control your day is to spend time
with God. Here are some simple steps you can take to gain control of your day
and thus fulfill your purpose on the earth.
Wake up 45 minutes early:
1.
Start with 15 minutes of prayer.
I know everyone always says an hour but I just
want you to get STARTED. Once you begin to see the tremendous results 15 minutes
brings you'll easily transition to 1 hour plus!
During this time don't complain just speak the Word
of God over your life and situations. Do that for 10 minutes then listen for 5
minutes for God to give you peace & solutions.
2.
Read your Bible for the next 15 minutes.
I believe this is a great practice right after prayer because often times God will use the scripture to give you clarity,
insight and give you solutions to problems. It's an easy thing to do and even
easier when you use YouVersion bible app "1 year bible".
3. Use another
15 minutes to make declarations and affirmations over your life.
If you
have vision boards this is the time to meditate on them and see your life
taking shape. (In my Unleashing the Greatness Within Kit I teach you how to do
this as well as get specific about the important sectors of your life that once
structured will lead to breakthough).
Take the last 2-3 minutes of this time to visualize and
construct your day with your mouth.
Speak out, “Today is going to be a
productive and fruitful day. All money
owed to me is being given to me today.
Everything is working out in my favor.
I have favor in all matters and victory is my portion.” When you speak words like that the heavens
will align with you!
One important note: You’ll notice that sometimes during
the course of these actions you’ll want to write out goals that you need to
achieve for the day; you’ll receive reminders of things to do; you’ll get the
names of people you need to call etc. WRITE IT DOWN. Always have a note pad by your side when
you’re praying & meditating. When
God speaks you’ll want to be able to document His words to you quickly!
