Testimony
There was a season when a businessman named Samuel started every morning in a rush. He woke up late, checked his phone first, reacted to emails, and stepped into his day already stressed and defensive. Though he loved God, prayer was inconsistent, and his days often ended with frustration, missed opportunities, and emotional exhaustion.
One morning, Samuel listened to a teaching on the power of commanding the morning, a principle strongly emphasized in the Bill Winston morning prayer. He realised that mornings were not meant to be reactive but authoritative. That same week, he made a simple decision to wake up earlier and begin each day by declaring God’s Word, speaking life, direction, and victory over his day.
At first, nothing dramatic happened. But within weeks, Samuel noticed a shift. His mind became calmer, his decisions clearer, and his confidence stronger. Meetings that once felt tense became peaceful. Opportunities began to open unexpectedly. Problems that once overwhelmed him no longer controlled his emotions.
Samuel understood that prayer was not begging God for help it was enforcing heaven’s agenda on earth. By aligning his words with Scripture every morning, he was no longer surviving his days; he was leading them.
This is why the Bill Winston morning prayer matters. It trains believers to start each day from a place of faith, authority, and alignment with God. When you command your morning with God’s Word, you don’t just face the day you shape it.
