God will give you confidence and strength to achieve a great thing in your lifetime in the name of Jesus Christ. God is backing you up to see you through in the name of Jesus Christ. You will get there. You will hit your target in the name of Jesus Christ. God is putting a mark of favour upon your head now in the name of Jesus Christ.

Most of us want to take charge but we do not to take the necessary steps. Taking charge requires actions. It is not restricted only to prayer and fasting. What prayer and fasting do is to give you the grace. It makes the journey easy for you. It opens doors for you. You still have some actions to take. Nothing happens by chance. Life is not governed by miracles but by principles. There is something call sowing and reaping. If you do not sow, you cannot reap. Matthew 24:46-47, “Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.” God expects you to use what you have effectively. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.” Genesis 1:28, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

1. Take charge of your mindset. Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You must be conscious of what you are doing. You must be consistent in what you are doing. Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. Your mind is neutral. It is what you feed your heart with that will manifest. If you feed your heart with negative things, it will produce negative things. If you harness positive things in your heart, positive things will manifest around your life.
2. Take charge of your time. Ephesians 5:16-17, “16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Make effective use of your time. Plan your life, plan your time. Your time is money.
3. Take charge of your relationship. Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” You must be deliberate with whom you call your friends. Make sure that any association does not leave you the way it met you. It leaves with you something that is positive or worthwhile.
4. Take charge of your faith Matthew 17:20, “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
5. Take charge of your career and business. Be diligent with your business and career.
6. Take charge of your health. 1 Corinthians 6:16, “What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.”

Prayer:

1. Father, I receive strength, grace and power to take charge in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. I enlist myself on the list of those who carry favour. Let favour mark me out. No more struggles in the journey of life in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. Oh Lord, help me in the name of Jesus Christ.
4. Oh Lord, push me to a new level in the name of Jesus Christ.
