GREETINGS, beloved, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:11 says, “Give us this day our daily bread.” According to the authority of the Scriptures, we see that the day is loaded with the daily bread. In other words, every day offers a brand-new blessing to God’s children. This also means that the day can carry curses and misfortunes or it can bring good things, depending on the programme a child of God has set for the day to favour him.
So, the day can favour you or disfavour you. But the will of God, according to this scripture, is that every day we should walk in favour and in the blessings of Jehovah. How many Christians are enjoying their daily bread every day from January to December? I have heard many Christians say that Monday is a bad day. Such speech is not scriptural. In God’s economy, there is no such thing as a bad day.
In Matthew 6:11, when our Lord Jesus Christ was teaching on prayer, one of the prayer points He gave His disciples was: “Give us this day our daily bread.” That daily bread speaks of provision and supernatural intervention from God. It means that daily, you can ask for your bread and you can watch God come through for your life on a daily basis. You don’t need to wait for your bonus, pay day or salary increase. Your day can produce a wonder for your life and your family.
The secret is to know how to possess your day. You need to ask God, through prayer, to give you your daily bread in the form of promotion, divine helpers and increase at work.
The Bible says in Psalm 19:2, “Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.” This means that the day has a mouth to speak. If it has a mouth to speak, it also has the capability to hear. So, the day will only speak what it hears.
Now, the question is: what is the day speaking to you every day? To some people, it speaks calamity, disappointment, sickness and poverty because it has been commanded by principalities and powers to speak such things into the lives of God’s people. This means that the day can be commanded by you, in accordance with Scripture, to do what you want it to do for your life.
When Job was going through many troubles and was complaining to God about his misfortunes, we see in Job 38:12, “Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days and caused the dayspring to know his place?” In other words, God was asking, “Have you commanded your day to bring healing to sickness, to bring destiny helpers or to bring your promotion?” If we do not know how to command the day, witches and wizards will command it for evil.
Many Christians are always complaining about the day, about how things are not moving, about an interview that did not happen or a business deal that fell through. It’s because many are too lazy to rise at the start of the day and begin to command it. Remember, the day begins at 12:00 a.m. It’s to command, not to beg. The Bible says in Psalms 8 that God has given us dominion over the works of His hands. In other words, we take dominion over the elements of the universe.
In Acts, we read about Paul and Silas, who at midnight commanded their day to bring a release from prison. The Bible says they prayed and sang praises unto God. There was an earthquake, their shackles were broken, the foundation of the prison was shaken, and all the gates of the prison were opened. My question is: why did they wait until midnight to pray?
It’s because these apostles had a deeper understanding of the mystery loaded in the day. They had to seize it. Spiritually, we understand that there are many demonic activities during that hour. We also know that the womb of the day is ready to receive or conceive. Whosoever releases the seed at that hour determines what the day will be like. If seeds of calamity are sown in the womb of the day, it will give birth to calamity, pain, and misfortune. If seeds of breakthrough are planted, the day will give birth to breakthroughs and miracles.
In Acts 16:25, when Paul and Silas prayed and the prison gates opened, I believe one of their prayer points was to present their case before God. Remember, they had been falsely accused for delivering a young lady. The day cooperated with their release as they demanded justice from the spirit of accusation.
In Job 38:13, it says, “That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it.” We see that the day can be loaded with wickedness. Wickedness can surround the day, but Job commands the day to shake out the wickedness.
The Bible says in Psalms 68:19, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”
So, the day is loaded with benefits. It’s up to us to ask for these daily benefits from God and live a victorious day every day.
Unfortunately, many Christians live accidentally every day because they do not take time to pray at midnight. We have given the midnight prayer to intercessors, forgetting that prayer is for everyone, not just for intercessors. In Luke 18:1, Jesus spoke a parable, saying, “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.” Prayer is for everyone.
Let us rise up and ask for our daily bread so that every day can bring a testimony into your life because there is a daily bread prepared for you. I pray that as you begin to take hold of your day, your daily bread will locate you.
I would like to invite you to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that He is your Lord and Saviour and you shall be saved.
May God bless you all.
