"Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22


A seal is used to authenticate a document by leaving an impression. We have seen examples of seals when we needed a document to be notiarized. When a document is notarized, a public officer must attest or certify the writing (such as a deed or will) and signs it to show that it is authentic. Once we receive the seal or stamp of authenticity our document is legally binding. Now imagine God's seal.


Being sealed by God means that he has confirmed, ratified and secured our position in Christ. He is the impression of a seal upon us. His seal authenticates and validates us to be partakers and joint heirs; whatever God has prepared for us will be for us! You are marked and positioned for purpose.


There is only one way to obtain the seal of God. You receive it once you have accepted Christ into your heart. In our acceptance we become established in Christ reaping all of the benefits of a joint heir. Everything that God has prepared for us is made possible through the righteousness of his son. We have entered into a covenant that gives us unprecedented access, power and authority.


With this covenant, we are instantly marked with the seal of God. It separates us as his chosen people but also let's the enemy know that we belong to God. We become a serious threat to the enemy's camp and also a target. However, we are given everything we need to engage and overcome because we are equipped with the Spirit of God which is our guarantee. It is by the Spirit we are able to put on the amor of God that ensures our victory.


God is establishing you because he wants to anoint you and prepare you for the upcoming transition that this New Year will bring. As you crossover, God wants to remind you that you are marked as an overcomer. He has validated your position, ministry and business. His stamp of approval is upon your life to WIN! Don't settle, step out in faith knowing that you are SEALED by GOD!


If you desire to be sealed by God, then take the moment right now to accept Jesus Christ into your heart. Simply pray this prayer:


Dear Lord, Thank you for sending your son to die on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. I ask that you come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Lord, I ask that you help me to live for you all the days of my life. Teach me to walk earnestly after you and desire your word. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.


If you pray that prayer, welcome to the family of God; the great body of Christ. You have made your first step of faith! I encourage you to find a church home that teaches and preaches the word of God.





"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8


Nothing is more important than our walk with God. Our relationship with him should always be the number one priority in our lives. It is something God wanted way before we considered the thought of opening our hearts to him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world and separated us from him. However, it would not be forever, God in all of his wisdom already prepared a way for us to be reunited with him through his Son, Jesus. As a believer, we have direct access to the Father because of the act of love on calvary.


When we make our heavenly Father a priority, we show our love, appreciation and reverence. Our ability to go boldly to the throne of grace is a privilege that was once only available to a few. It should never be taken lightly the access we now have through the blood of Jesus. It is up to us to take advantage of building and cultivating our relationship with him. He is the best friend you didn't know you had, a Father that loves you intensely and a personal counselor that guides you in life with precision.


If we submit to his will and take up our cross we are able to experience the life we are meant to have as a believer. It will never be filled with perfect experiences, but, we can rest in knowing that the perfect one reigns and resides in us. As you approach a New Year, remember your relationship with Jesus is something you truly can't live without. Make a conscience choice to build, restore or rekindle your relationship.


We all can remember a time when we were bursting with excitement because God revealed a glimpse of what our future could be. Yet, showing us was not void of important steps directing and navigating us on how to get there. We were encouraged by the vision and inspired by the possibilites of living and doing what we are all called to. However, when we start to take the steps, things didnt automatically come together. The road that seemed so clear becomes blurred with obstacles. Each obstacle seem to take a little bit of our strength, vision and desire to proceed.


This is normal! You will experience less desired roadblocks but these mishaps should not stop you. See them as a reason to keep going. Anything God has spoken or promised is always challenged by the enemy. He never want us to see our vision and dreams realized. He fights us for what God promised and will always throw obstacles in our way to slow us down or stop our progress. However, we can rely on the Spirit of God to propel us over every obstacle. God wants you to finish what you started and you can't lose sight of what he showed you. Keep your vision alive by taking it one day at a time.
