I Shall Decree a Thing

Scripture: Job 22:28

Song: I overcame by Ada Ehi

There are days when your heart is heavy because your situation keeps repeating the same message: Nothing is changing. In those moments, it’s easy to feel forgotten and powerless.

However, God did not leave you helpless.

He put something in you that can rise even when everything around you looks stubborn. He gave you the gift of faith-filled words, not words that ignore reality, but words that agree with His reality. He says, “You shall decree a thing, and it shall be established.”

In the old days, a decree was a decision written into the air affirming, “This is the way it will be.” It announces a new order. In reality, to decree is not to make noise but to say, “Lord, I believe You more than I fear what I see.” It is the trembling voice that still chooses God’s truth.

Sometimes, what discouragement tries to steal first is your voice. It pushes you into silence, then into negative speech, then into hopeless conclusions. But today, God is calling you back, not to shouting, but to speaking with trust, because when you decree, you are doing something powerful; you are aligning your atmosphere with God’s word. You are refusing to let pain write the final chapter. You are planting a seed of authority in the middle of pressure. And even if you don’t see results immediately, heaven records agreement.

So, if your promise looks delayed, decree hope.
If your mind feels restless, decree peace.
If doors look closed, decree divine opening.
If your body feels weak, decree strength and healing.
If you feel forgotten, decree remembrance.

This is not because you’re trying to force God’s hand, but because you’re choosing to stand where God stands.

Remember, you are not decreeing alone; God backs His word with signs following. When your decree is rooted in what He has spoken, you are not speaking into emptiness; you are speaking into a covenant.

Today, wipe your tears if you must, but don’t bury your faith. Let your mouth agree with your Father again:

I shall decree a thing, and it shall be established.
Light will break forth for me.
Help will locate me.
This season will change.

God’s promise over my life will stand.

I decree open doors, divine speed, and clear testimony. It is established.

It shall be well.
