Positive Affirmation

Matthew 13:17 NKJV ^“And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

An affirmation is the act of confirming something to be true or statement or sign that something is true. Positive affirmation plays an important and useful role in personal relationships as couples, parents, friends, and associates.  There are accounts in the Bible where God, the Farther, gave positive affirmation, to God the Son, Jesus Christ: after baptism in Jordan River, Matthew 13:17“And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  At the mount of transfiguration, Mark 9:7 “And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him”. Jesus Christ received affirmation from His disciples, when Apostle Peter declared through the Holy Spirit “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16. Jesus positively affirmed Himself in many scriptures, like in John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Parents you need to affirm your children positively from God’s word, “They are fearfully and wonderfully made” Psalm 139:14. The words of God are His divine declaration of grace. We need to extend those words of grace to every relationship God has blessed us with. God affirms you not because of your perfection but because of his boundless love and grace. It is a reminder that in Christ, you are loved and accepted. The Lord Jesus Christ calls us His friends (John 15:15). Meditate of these Biblical affirmation: God is doing a good work in me – Philippians 1:6; God created me and knows me – Psalm 139:13; My past no longer has power over me – 2 Corinthians 5:17; God is for me – Romans 8:31; God has my back and I am strong because of Him –Isaiah 35:4.
