RISE ABOVE THE ELEMENTS

RISE ABOVE THE ELEMENTS

And we know that all things work together 

for good to them that love God, to them 

who are the called according to his 

purpose (Romans 8:28).

Nothing in life, including the weather and its 

elements,  is  set  to  your  disadvantage.  The 

different  seasons—summer,  winter,  autumn,  spring—

were all created for your benefit. 

In Genesis 8:22, the Lord said,  “While the earth 

remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, 

and summer and winter, and day and night shall not 

cease.” All the weather conditions have come to stay, 

because God made it that way. Nevertheless, He made 

them subject to you. It makes no difference how harsh 

the weather may be, you can rise above it. 

Someone  says,  “I  decided  to  take  things  easy, 

because I’ve been ‘under the weather’”; how could 

you be under the weather? Be above it! If you confess 

you’re under the weather, the debilitating effects of the 

atmospheric conditions will buffet you.   

Some believe that during winter, there’s a sharp 

rise in the incidence of respiratory infections, such as 

the  “colds”  and  the  more  severe  “flu.”  Thus,  many 

never  look  forward  to  winter;  they  dread  it.  No!  If 

you’re born again, you’re to rise above the weather 

and  all  its  limitations  and  effects,  with  your  words. 

This doesn’t necessarily mean that during winter the 

weather would suddenly become hot, no. It just means 

that  no  matter  how  cold  it  gets,  it  won’t  have  any 

negative effect on you.   

The earlier you start professing words of faith to 

recondition the elements and circumstances in your 

favour, the better for you. When others say, “There’s 

cold  and  flu  spreading  like  wildfire,”  your  response 

should  be  different;  you’re  to  say,  “In  and  around 

me  is  divine  health,  because  I  dwell  in  a  different 

atmosphere; the atmosphere of the Holy Ghost.” 

Even  now,  declare,  “I  rise  above  the  weather 

conditions  and  the  health  or  environmental  issues 

they bring. I have eternal life in me; I’m indestructible, 

impregnable,  and  imperishable.  I  carry  my  own 

atmosphere everywhere I go.” Hallelujah!

PRAYER

In  the  Name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  I  rise  above  all 

limitations  and  conditions  that  seek  to  put  men 

under. I walk in the dominion and power of the Spirit 

over and above circumstances, and elements of this 

world. I acknowledge that all things work together for 

my good; therefore, I experience victory, prosperity, 

and success today and always. Amen.
