LAW OF RECOGNITION 2
Text: “And all the men of Israel saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.” 1 Sam 17:24
In comparison to David, King Saul and his men also had their own recognition which limited them. They recognized that Goliath had been a warrior from his youth and cannot be defeated. They recognized that they were helpless and incapable of fighting Goliath. They also recognized that the words of Goliath was powerful.
The law of recognition can work either way: positively or negatively. If you recognize your weakness more than your strengths you won’t be strong. If you recognize the enemy more than you recognize God you will always live in defeat. If you recognize your mistakes more than God’s mercy you will always live in guilt.
It’s important for us to know exactly what we should recognise in our lives.
Recognize the grace of God at work in your life. This has nothing to do with how you feel but what God’s word says (Eph 3:8). Recognize the ability of God at work in you as a believer. Recognize what has worked effectively in your life without struggle. This will be a pointer to what will work again and again. What you already have is always the starting point of what God will do next. What you already have will always be God’s starting point and not necessarily what you are praying to have. Recognize the power of God at work on your behalf. Recognize the uniqueness of God’s calling on your life
The word of God is the starting point of recognizing what God has made available in our lives. The revelation of the Spirit is the means to this recognition. The word of God gives us a catalogue of who we are and what God has made available in our lives.
DECLARATION:
I recognize that I’m blessed and highly favoured. I recognise that my life is a blessing and not a burden. I recognise that the life of God is at work in me. I recognise that the possibilities of God is at work in me.

To recognize that God blesses us is to recognize his grace and favor, he always takes us by the hand and guides us as a shepherd to his sheep.
