31 DAILY DECLARATIONS FOR BRANCHES IN THE VINE

Adapted from Declarations by Nkem Okemiri

Say These Words Aloud BOLDY AND IN FAITH:

In the gospel according to John chapter 15 verse 5, Jesus said, "I am the Vine, you are the branches..." Since He is the Vine and I am a branch in Him,

1. I share the same root, origin and background with Jesus. I have no background problem. I came out of Jesus Christ. I am, through Him, an offspring of the Most High (John 1:12,13; 3:6, 1 John 4:4).
2. As He was in the beginning with God, so I was in Him, in the beginning with God. Therefore, I am not an accident. I am not an after-thought. I have been in Christ before the foundation of the world. I am a product of God's initiative and plan (Ephesians 1:4).
3. As Jesus came from heaven, so I came from heaven, in Him, with Him, and through Him. My place in life is above because he that is from above is above all things (John 17:14,16; John 3:31; 6:38).
4. As He is the Word made flesh, so I am through Him, a living expression of the word. I am an offshoot of God's creative instrument. I represent God's Word to my family, community and generation (John 1:1-3,14; 20:21; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23).
5. What Jesus is by nature that is what I am now. Anything that is not compatible with His nature is not for me. I have no part in sin, sickness, poverty, failure or defeat (John 15:5; Romans 11:16,18).
6. I am a partaker of Christ Jesus. I have His love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Hebrews 3:14; Galatians 5:22,23).
7. Whatever He has in Himself is in me. Whatever He does not have, I do not have. The treasury of wisdom and knowledge dwells in me. I have the mind of Christ. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in me through Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:16; Colossians 2:3,9,10).
8. What He likes is what I like. What he dislikes, I dislike also. I respond to situations as He does, or would. What He rejects, I cannot receive. What He accepts, I cannot refuse (Romans 15:7; Ephesians 4:17-32).
9. What He feels, I feel. I will not be discouraged or defeated. I have no room for fear or anxiety. (Philippians 4:6).
10. Anyone that sees me has seen Him. I am God's image in Christ. He is my Life. The life I live is His life. He lives in me and through me (John 12:45; 14:9, Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:4).
11. Anyone that hears me has heard Jesus. When I speak, He is the one speaking. The Father hears me always. My words are His words (John 8:28; 11:34-42; 12:49; 14:10).
12. My words are faithful and true. I do not doubt my words. Situations, Circumstances and Conditions OBEY my voice through Jesus' Name and my words 'come to pass' (2 Corinthians 1:18-20; Mark 11:23; Luke 10:16).
13. ANYONE THAT REJECTS ME, REJECTS JESUS. Anyone that receives me has received Him and is blessed (Matthew 10:40; 25:40; John 12:44; 13:20; 15:23).
14. ANYONE THAT TOUCHES ME HAS TOUCHED JESUS. Anyone I touch, he has touched. I am a partaker of His power and anointing (Ephesians 5:30; John 15:5).
15. Where He is, that is where I am and will be. Wherever I am, He is there in me and with me. We are inseparable. (Matthew 28:20; John 17:24; Romans 8:38,39; Ephesians 2:6).
16. Anything that He has to give is obtainable through me. All that He has is mine and all I have is His. I am God's storehouse and supply line. I am a giver by design. God supplies the needs of men through me. I have enough (John 17:10; Romans 8:17; 1 Corinthians 4:7; Philippians 4:19).
17. I do all things in His name. I stand in His name and re-present Him every moment of everyday. I abide in Christ and operate from Him. My thoughts, words, and actions are His, and in His name (Acts 9:15; Colossians 3:17).
18. I do not seek a name for myself. I have one already. His name is my name. I have no other name but His name. I share with Him every name He has: Son of God, Son of Abraham, Son of David, The True Vine, The Bread of Life, The Light of the world, The Way, The Truth, and The Life. I am a partaker of the Name that is above all names (Matthew 5:14-16; John 1:12; Romans 4:11,16; Galatians 3:29; Philippians 2:9-11).
19. If anyone calls Him, I can answer for Him. Anyone looking for Him can contact me (John 20:21, Acts 10:42; 1 John 4:17).
20. I am one spirit with Christ Jesus. I am in Him and He is in me. Situations may change but my position and place in Christ does not change; and that is what matters more than anything (1 Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 4:6,7).
21. As I abide in Him and His words abide in me, His life, wisdom and power flow through me and put me in charge (John 15:5,7; Philippians 4:13; 1 Corinthians 1:30).
22. I carry in me, the same favor, honor, power and authority that He has. I have His righteousness. As I stand in His Name, I can get whatever is due to Him (John 14:13,14; 17:22; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
23. As the Father loves Him, so the Father loves me the same way. I am the beloved of the Father, precious in His sight. The Father is pleased with me because of Him (John 3:35; 16:26,27; 17:23; Ephesians 1:6).
24. There is no one more loved than I am. I operate under the watchful eyes of the Father. I am a vital part of His one and only Vine. I am fully protected and cared for (Psalm 23:1; Matthew 10:26-31; 1 Peter 5:7).
25. I have no other purpose, vision, or agenda BUT HIS. His program is my program. His will is my work and delight. I do not choose or initiate what I do. What I receive from Him is what I do (John 4:34; 5:19; 6:38; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
26. What He came to do, that is what I am here to do in His Name. I live to do God's will. I am here in His Name, to seek and to save the lost. In His Name, I am here to destroy the works of the devil and set captives free (Luke 19:10; John 14:12; 1 John 3:8).
27. I am here to communicate the life that is in Him. As He came to reveal and declare the Father, so am I here to reveal, declare and give expression to Him (John 1:18; 10:10; 20:21).
28. I have no separate existence or identity. Jesus is here now! You can hear Him, see Him and touch Him through me. In me, Jesus Christ is reproducing Himself for my generation (John 15:5; Acts 9:4).
29. I am one with all who are in union with Jesus Christ. There is no division, sect, or denomination in Christ. We all are members of one and same body. "We are one bread" (1 Corinthians 10:17; 12:12,13; Galatians 3:27,28; Colossians 3:11).
30. I died with Jesus, I was buried with Jesus. I rose with Him from the dead. I ascended with Him and now, I am sitting together with Him at the right hand of Majesty (Romans 6:4-12; Ephesians 2:6).
31. I have overcome death and the grave through Jesus. By Him, I reign in life. I live because He lives in me (John 14:19; Romans 5:17; Hebrews 2:14,15).
