October Declaration: Obedience and Overflow

October is a month of obedience and overflow. Join me on Day 3 of my 5-day fast as I share how fasting, prayer, and discipline are unlocking clarity, strategy, and Kingdom alignment.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed old patterns that God once delivered me from trying to creep back into my life. It has been harder to silence the noise and truly tune into His voice for more than a few minutes at a time. That’s why I am stepping into a 5-day fast - an intentional reset to refocus, recenter, and renew my relationship with Him.

Starting on September 29th and running through October 3rd, I am committing each day to seek God first with a clear declaration:

October is a month of obedience and overflow.

When Obedience Unlocks Overflow

Every morning, instead of reaching for food, I am reaching for Scripture. My “breakfast” is a chapter in the Word. For "lunch," I'm journaling what God is placing on my heart - convictions, ideas, direction... And before breaking fast each evening, I pause to give thanks in advance for the overflow that comes from obedience.

Now that I am on Day 3, I am already beginning to experience greater clarity of thought, alignment with my mission, and divine downloads on how to grow my business and maximize Kingdom impact. That’s the beauty of pairing obedience with expectation: fasting shifts from deprivation into preparation.

The Fruits of Obedience and Overflow

This fast is not just spiritual, it is also physical. I set a fitness goal of 15 treadmill miles for the week. For me, that symbolizes endurance, consistency, and discipline which are reminders that obedience isn’t always glamorous but it is always fruitful.

The lesson God is teaching me in real time is simple but life-changing:

When I choose obedience, He meets me with overflow.

It doesn’t always look like immediate abundance, but it always looks like multiplication... clarity, strategy, wisdom, and impact beyond what I could create on my own.

Reflection Prompts

• Where is God asking you to lean into obedience this month?

• How can you shift from focusing on lack to preparing for overflow?

• What physical or spiritual disciplines might help you align with God’s will in this season?

Prayer for Obedience and Overflow

Lord, I thank You for the gift of obedience and overflow. Teach me to silence the noise of this world and tune into Your voice daily. Strengthen my spirit to remain disciplined, even when it feels uncomfortable, and let my obedience create space for the overflow You desire to release in my life and business. Amen.

Scripture

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” — Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

Connection to Divine Dream Creator

This reflection is why I created the God-Idea Guide - a free clarity tool for Kingdom entrepreneurs. Just like fasting requires obedience to unlock overflow, building a business in alignment with God requires clarity before action.
