Uniquely Created- Do You!

Did you know that God needs your uniqueness in the earth? When He created each of us, He broke the mold. There will never be another you in the earth. Yes, there may be a similarity, but never a duplication.

Psalms 139:14 states " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

****Fearfully in the Hebrew word that is... "Yare." It means “to be afraid, stand in awe, fear”. When used of an exalted person it means “standing in awe”. This implies honor, reverence and respect for the person. To be “fearfully” made means to be “awesomely” made.

****Wonderfully in the Hebrew is translated as the word "Pele." It means unique, set apart, uniquely marvelous. This word could translate equally as miraculously, magnificently, amazingly, fantastically, or marvelously.

Understand your worth through the eyes of Your creator. You are awesomely made, unique, and marvelous. That is your inheritance and your identity. Walk with your head high and operate as a unique child of the King. Respect Your Uniqueness. Respect the Uniqueness of others. Be awesome. Be You. Do You. On Purpose. Make a difference where you are; the world needs you and not a replica or copy of someone else. Be blessed on purpose.

Word Matters

It is my belief that what we say about ourselves and others is important; especially as parents and leaders.

Scripture tells us that there is POWER in our words... (Proverbs 18:21). We can use it to speak death or life. Scriptures (1 Peter 2:9) tells us that we are a royal priesthood; a chosen generation, a holy nation, and a peculiar people. As a child of God, we have access to His promises. We declare (positive affirmation) and/or decree (command, ordain) the promises of His word as well as those things He commands us to speak.

So....understand the delegated power of declaration and decrees. It is simply a submitted son or daughter of God speaking His word, affirmations, and commands into the earth through understanding of His word by relationship with Him. I use them a lot- now with purpose. However, we can inadvertently declare or decree- example- if we keep saying we are sick and tired- chances are great that we will be sick and tired. Remember a time where I said that something was making me sick....well I couldn't shake this cold, my husband told me to be mindful of my words and as soon as I stopped saying it- I began to get better..

Think on these things as we form words for use today. Speak life to people and death to the things that need to die.

Be blessed on purpose!
