1Chro.11v9: So David went on and became great, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
It’s a good thing for a believer to make supernatural progress in life as this is God’s will for His children. No wonder King David made so much progress in his time as we can see in (1Chro.11v9). However, if you will succeed in going forward in your life, you need to take care of the little foxes. This has been the focus of our discussion for some time now and today I will be sharing more on the enemies of our progress in life (SOS.2v15). So, what are those things you need to say no to?
The enemies of supernatural progress:
7. Decadence. This is the process of things going down, falling apart, degenerating, decaying, or declining. This has never been the will of God for you, rather he wants things to keep getting better and better. So, permit me today to declare that every agent of decadence in your life and ministry is been arrested and subdued in Jesus name, amen. Jehovah is restoring your glory, strength, and beauty. Your sun will still shine again! I can see you rise again. If you truly believe this, I want you to say a big Amen (Eccle.10v18).
8. Retardation. This happens when there is a delaying or slowing down of your progress. It also depicts slow development or sturtured or impeded growth. This is another enemy of progress that you need to resist fervently if you really want to go forward in life. Are you ready to say no? Are you willing to resist? Precious child of God, the ball is in your court; so start taking action today. Stop putting up with every agent of retardation. Start saying no to every form of delay in achievement in your life. I guarantee you that the tide will begin to turn in your favour as you take a decisive stand in Jesus name, amen (Matt.13v22).
9. Complacency. This is when someone is careless or not doing what they are meant to do. It also speaks of being slow and sluggish. This is another enemy of progress that you need to vehemently rise up against. The time has come for you to say no to every form of laziness or procrastination in your life. It’s time to be decisive and diligent. Stop putting till tomorrow what ought to be done today. Take hold of your destiny. Rise up to your responsibilities. Start saying no to every agent of complacency in your life and ministry. As you resist and stand up against it, your victory is imminent and shall be undeniable. My dear reader, start taking these actions today; for this is your moment and hour (Matt.13v25).

Prayer for Today: Holy Spirit, I receive strength and courage to actively resist every enemy of my progress in Jesus name, amen.

I am moving forward. I am advancing towards my goals, dreams, aspirations and destination in life. This is my heritage and portion in Jesus name, amen.
