I’m in the middle of gaining clarity for the year ahead, already however, I have clear pictures of what the new year holds. The first few weeks of this month have been very remarkable for me, I have had to attend a convention, where I spoke and where I also listened. The whole Ilorin experience was capped for me by Rev. George Adegboye praying for me. As the words of those prayers and prophetic declarations were pronounced, I really wished I had a tape recorder to capture all the wordings. It wasn’t an havazard prayer, it was very specific and in a particular direction. From that prayer alone, I could see what the new year was going to birth.
Maybe you have been in meetings lately as well, where you have been told specific things about what will happen to you in the new year. Or maybe you’ve just been by yourself praying and worshiping God when you heard his voice -“my daughter, my daughter, or my son, my son”. I’m sure you also heard some great things before this year, 2008 started. I’m sure also that some of these declarations did not come to pass. You know why they didn’t come to pass this year? Do you want to know what can make the declaration of this year come to pass or not next year? Read on
Declarations do not have the powers to make themselves real. Yes, you heard that correctly. If a woman is prayed for and it is declared that she will deliver a child in 9 months time, if she does nothing about it for those nine months (i.e have sex with her husband) she will not give birth to any child. The declaration of any prophecy on our lives, bequeaths on us the responsibility to play our part in making it real.
No matter how many good things are kept for a student at home for holidays, if he doesn’t go home for holidays he won’t get them. Declarations, prayers, prophecies or even desires demand responsibility.
The day I started taking my academics serious enough to start coming first in class, for example, was the day I discovered that there was provision from God’s word for me to be the head and not the tail. I didn’t go about only rejoicing in my discovery of that truth, it made me serious enough not to want to that word to be empty over my life. Enough of empty confessions my friend, you are everything you say you are, not when you say it loud and clear, but when you are able to decipher exactly what activity is required of you based on those truths and you are willing to pay the price.
If you know that you are supposed to become academically excellent, it means you need to think, study and approach things like this was true. You need to apply the commitment equal to what the currently excellent are exhibiting. Don’t just pay lip service, don’t just rejoice, don’t just begin to talk about it, begin to align your actions to not make the words empty.
If you know that you are meant to become international in the coming year. Then ask yourself soul searching questions on what activity you can do to international quality. Don’t imagine a scenario where anybody advances you any amount to make it happen, begin your calculation from your current realities.
If you know that you are supposed to be favored and sought after. Then don’t hide in your room, invest in the knowledge that makes a man’s face to shine, then go out there where you can put the favour and grace to a test. Don’t cower around hoping that one day one day the prophecies will self fulfill themselves, make the move, put the effort, nothing works until you work it!
If we have heard that our nation will become the most desired place on earth to live in, then we should not fold our hands and just say it, or just agree with it. We have to ask, what kind of person do I want to be in that New Nigeria, and what price must I pay today to make me stand on the positive side of that change. Do I want to be a part of the history or a teller of the story? Do I want to be relevant or a part of the crowd. Do I want my activities to count or am I okay with being counted?
Prophecy lingers until the souls of men are stirred to take corresponding action. Israel spent extra time in Egypt because Moses wasn’t ready quickly enough. Israel spent unduly long in Babylon until Daniel discovered in the books that the time was past, and started doing something about it. God doesn’t wear a wristwatch that is made up of minutes and seconds, he wears one that says this, then that. He is the end and the beginning. He does not work with chronos, he works with chairus. He does not use the sequential time, he uses the appointed time. Primary One does not finish without fail after one year, it finishes when the exams for primary one has been passed. Your next level is hidden in your playing your role in the completion of your current level.
So, as you look into the year ahead, and hear the refreshing things that will be. As you look at your lot and the space that will be made for you, remember these words, if it’s got to be, then it’s up to you! God has no favourites, he moves near to those that move near to him! You want God near… then you’ve got to move!

Word!!!
Well said my brother, i can’t agree with you enough. This is the right word coming at the right time and presented in a right way.
Thank God for 2008, 2009 will be more glorious.
You have spoken well.
One truth that took me quite sometime to realize is that positive confessions need positive actions to become reality.
BE-DO-HAVE
Prophecy talks about what we will HAVE in the future. There is what we must DO to make that prophecy a reality. There is who we must BE also…I guess we have to BE believers (i believe), faith-full people..
I got a clue about 2009 sometimes in November…9 is a number that cannot changed or destroyed i.e. in mathematics
1 * 9 = 9
2 * 9 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9
10 * 9 = 90, 9 + 0 = 9 for more visit

(This is true only for those who seek multiplication and addition in 2009)
What God will do (prophecy) for us in 2009, no one will be able to change or destroy it…
Lotta Love
Thats all i need for this incoming new year.
I look forward to a more fulfilling 2009,all his promises for 2008 came to pass or is about to come to pass in my life.Thank God for 2008,i will yet still praise him more for 2009.Halleluiyah!
Deolu, you see why i call you my prophet?These are the words of a prophet and once again you have stirred the seed of greatness in me, this is all i need to hear and know this season to make that necessary move!Thanks and may God continue to fill you up as you empty yourself on this blog.I have taken some of your advice during your anniversary write up and you can check out if i am a good student of yours @ http://www.bridgetelesinspeaks.blogspot.com
Thanks again
True Talk!!!!!!
This is IT! Word in season! God bless you. I can catch a glimpse of how 2009 is going to be on this site and with you already… More grace.
Word for the season!
Thanks, I am encouraged!
well taken.
when a man refuses to act, he has closed the door of his opportunities.When a man refuses to listen, he has poluted the air of his own freedom. when a man refuses to talk, he has jeopardized the destinies of nations. True talk deolu. let us all watch and pray.
Spot on Deolu!
I have learnt that thus saith the Lord is no licence to go to sleep rather, an incentive to actions. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all men of actions the infallible word from God to them notwithstanding.
“Decision” they say, “determines destiny” but action actualises it.
Luv U!
As God has made available to us all we need, may we find the courage to stand up and do our part in bringing to reality all we were meant to be.
Oro kan ka! Really very insightful. Thanks
Tru talk bros!
FAITH or prophetic confession or profession without corresponding WORKS is dead.
Bless u.
1 Timothy 1:18
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Thank you bros!God has placed our destiny on our palm. No man should blame God for any mishap. We are suppose to play our part in divine destiny ,then leave the rest for God. I refused to mourn on what i couldn’t achieve this year,i will rather listen to know His divine will for me in the coming year,do my own bit of its manifestation,then leave God to perfect it. Agian I say Thanx my brother1
“Prophecy lingers until the souls of men are stirred to take corresponding action” – Very very true.
Let’s make 2009 what we desire/see it to be, and see if we won’t be backed up by God.
Word in season, you’re too much!
Sir, what do i need to the next? thats the question that came to my mind after reading this article. i will work on it. thanks

“Declarations do not have the powers to make themselves real”. We just have to put our thoughts to work.
Thanks Brother.
Great words fitly spoken!now i realise that there’s much more work ahead of me towards the actualisation of my dreams.i’m rolling my sleeves now and getting set for 2009.
Thank you so much.God bless!
Wonderful piece.I agree with you totally that we all have a role to play so that every thing that has been prophesied concerning us can come true.Responsibility is the price of greatness.
Gud piece,and my little contribution is that reality is in the moment.Everything that will come to reality in 2009,we have to realize it in 2008.
sometimes you speak the mind of God
everytime you speak with His wisdom
i am really blessed and workin and operating in the prophetic to make not just my dreams but everyword that as been said concerning come to pass. All i need is God and have got HIM, now the special ingredient is me. I am the prophet of my prophecy
Very Insightful and so true. It’s true that nothing moves until we move.
Thank you so much for this one

God has a responsibility, so also do we. Our responsibility is to ACT, God’s responsibility to reward us for fulfilling our responsibility. God’s words do not just work FOR us, they work WITH us… Prophecies are not wished into reality, they are worked out. It goes beyond the ‘positive confessions’, there must also be corresponding positive reactions.
To enjoy the realization of prophecies in our lives, we must activate them with quality actions… If the prophecy is ‘international’, paying a ‘local’ price won’t take you anywhere!
Deolu, can’t agree less on this piece. It is very insightful!
i’m blown away…..this is spot on!
This is a simple step to birthing your prophecies. Too much confession without corresponding action will give birth to confusion and frustration.
Thanks again Deolu, your style of writing inspires me.

THANK GOD FOR THIS WORD AT THE RIGHT TIME,MOST TIMES I ASK MYSELF,HELEN MANY PROPHECY HAS BEEN SAID CONCERNING YOU ,WHY ARE THEY NOT MANIFESTED YET,NOW I KNOW BETTER.
you are responsible for whatever you receive…demands are always placed on whatever you are given! To whom much is given, much more will be required!
valid thoughts from Deolu!
Hi Deolu..

potentialities that abound all around us..

Nothing seems like putting oneself in a good position and then activating or applying your potentials towards the expected outcomes, the results seems awesome its happened to me but i think with what have read this morning i have to replicate this act in all areas of my life if i have to be the smartest dude in 2009, Deolu oluwa mi asi ma fi ibukun si ise yin your wonderful.
“your next level is hidden in playing your role in the completion of your current level”
“if its got to be,then its up to u”
hmm powerful words bro!
God bless you
Most times we wait for GOD,but most times God is actually waiting for us.I think our problem is that we don’t co-operate with God with corresponding actions most times.DEOLU thanks for the wonderful write up.It has energy and power in it.PLS DON’T STOP SHOOTING……..MORE GRACE.
Nice piece. He that will get to the top in life must first address all the hinderance that may deber him from moving forward in life. I have a strong conviction in me that 2009 is going to be a year of divine completion. Keep up the good work.
BROZ THIS IS WORD.
BROS I HAIL .EVERY PROPHESY THAT COMES OPERATIONAL ON TWO PARTIES.(1).GOD AND (2)MAN.GOD IS ETERNALLY FAITHFUL TO KEEPING HIS OWN SIDE OF IT. IT IS US WHO HAVE TO DO OUR OWN PART. GOD HELP NAIJA
wonderful words i will say.
Daily loading ones mind with these positive words can stir the seed of greatness in the average soul.
