Some of you have received prophetic words that confirm your calling and gifts. You have seen dreams and visions of doing great exploits for God, casting out devils, walking in power, stewarding wealth, and influencing nations. Yet despite these revelations, there is little progress in the physical realm. The reason is that revelation without consciousness cannot produce manifestation.
When God speaks to you by prophecy, vision, or dream, He is not merely pointing to what you may one day become; He is unveiling what you already are in Christ though you may not yet have discovered it. The Scripture says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). Notice that God did not tell Jeremiah what he would become in the future but what he already was from eternity. Many believers fail because they do not live with this consciousness. They receive words from God yet never cultivate awareness of them. They fail to align their thoughts, their speech, and their daily lives with what heaven has declared.
Consciousness is the deliberate practice of keeping God’s word about you at the forefront of your heart. It is the awareness of who you are, what you have received, and the Spirit at work within you. Scripture affirms, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). If God calls you a prophet, you must believe it to the point where it influences your decisions and shapes your daily posture. If He declares you a conduit of wealth for His kingdom, then you must hold that reality firmly until it directs the way you spend your time, the discipline you build, and the responsibilities you embrace.
Even when there is no visible sign of fulfillment, you must fix your thoughts on what God has spoken. Abraham was promised to be the father of many nations, yet Scripture records that he “did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God” (Romans 4:20). Faith and consciousness go hand in hand. What you continually hold in your heart will eventually manifest in your life.
This awareness must shape your mentality, your schedule, your principles, and your disciplines. Treasure the gift of God in your life. Paul exhorted Timothy, “Do not neglect the gift that is in you” (1 Timothy 4:14), and again, “Stir up the gift of God which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6). Do not treat God’s grace as something casual or common. You must be the first believer in your calling and the first steward of your ordination. If you doubt what God has said, others will never take it seriously either.
To walk in consciousness is to become one with your ordination. You must live daily with the awareness that your words carry weight, that your prayers move heaven and earth, that your hands are charged with divine virtue. Jesus said, “These signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:17-18). Walk in that reality until it becomes second nature.
To honor your calling is to consecrate yourself, to sacrifice in order to build it, and to handle it with excellence. Never present it cheaply before men. Jesus Himself said, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine” (Matthew 7:6). Treat the anointing and the grace upon your life as sacred. Fanatic devotion to your gift will not produce pride if it is rooted in humility; instead, it will deepen consecration and draw you nearer to God.
This is how you activate the manifestation of your ordination. This is how you enter into fullness. Believe it. Live conscious of it. Treasure it. Nurture it. And manifest it for the glory of Christ and the edification of His Body. For “we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7).
