May – Overflow of Strength & Renewal
Introduction
As we step into the month of May, God has declared it our month of Overflow of Strength and Renewal. This means May is not a month for weakness, careless speech, fear, or negative confession. It is a month to align our words, attitude, and expectations with what God has spoken.
Our anchor scripture in Numbers 14:28 reveals a serious spiritual truth: God listens to what we say and responds accordingly. This means our attitude in May must not contradict God’s declaration over us.
If May is declared our month of Strength and Renewal, then our words, mindset, and attitude must reflect strength—not weakness.
We must stop speaking what drains us and start declaring what builds us.
This month, your attitude must match your prophecy.
You can not enter a month of strength speaking weakness.
You can not enter a month of renewal speaking exhaustion.
You can not expect higher exploits while constantly confessing defeat.
May demands the right attitude.
One of the first signs of right attitude is right speech.
1. SPEAK STRENGTH—NOT WEAKNESS
📖 Isaiah 40:31
> “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”
If this month is your month of renewed strength, then stop speaking weakness.
Do not say:
“I am tired of life.”
“I can’t cope anymore.”
“This month will be difficult.”
“I am already exhausted.”
Such words fight the prophecy of May.
Instead, declare:
“I receive fresh strength.”
“The Lord renews my strength daily.”
“I shall not be weary.”
“I am strengthened for higher exploits.”
Attitude for May:
Speak strength at all times.
2. REFUSE NEGATIVE CONFESSION
📖 Proverbs 18:21
> “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”
This month, you must be intentional about what leaves your mouth.
May is not the month to complain, murmur, or speak fear.
It is not the month to strengthen delay with negative confession.
Some people enter new seasons and destroy them with wrong words.
Do not say in May:
“Nothing ever works for me.”
“This country is too hard.”
“Things are getting worse.”
“I do not expect anything good.”
Words like these weaken your spiritual atmosphere.
Attitude for May:
Refuse negative speaking completely.
3. SPEAK IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD
📖 2 Corinthians 4:13
> “…I believed, and therefore have I spoken…”
May is a month to speak in agreement with God.
If God says this month is for strength, say strength.
If God says this month is for renewal, say renewal.
If God says this month is for higher exploits, say progress.
Do not let your mouth contradict your prophecy.
This month, I agree with heaven.
Say what God has said concerning your life.
Attitude for May:
Let your confession match God’s declaration.
4. MAINTAIN A RENEWED MINDSET
📖 Romans 12:2
> “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Renewal is not only spiritual—it is mental.
To enjoy renewal in May, your mindset must change.
Stop thinking:
defeat
limitation
fear
discouragement
failure
Think strength.
Think progress.
Think possibilities.
Think divine help.
Think victory.
A renewed month requires a renewed mind.
Attitude for May:
Think with renewal, not defeat.
5. WALK WITH EXPECTATION
📖 Mark 11:23
> “…he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
May is not a month to move around empty, fearful, and uncertain.
Walk with expectation.
Speak with expectation.
Pray with expectation.
Live with expectation.
Expect:
renewed strength
fresh oil
divine speed
open doors
unusual help
higher exploits
Expectation is the attitude that prepares for manifestation.
Attitude for May:
Expect strength, not struggle.
6. PROTECT YOUR SPIRITUAL ENERGY
📖 Psalm 92:10
> “I shall be anointed with fresh oil.”
Fresh oil must be protected.
This month, avoid anything that drains your spiritual energy:
negative conversations
toxic environments
fear-filled people
unnecessary arguments
spiritual carelessness
Do not let what God is renewing be polluted by wrong associations.
Protect your peace.
Protect your spirit.
Protect your atmosphere.
Attitude for May:
Guard what feeds your strength.
7. SPEAK WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE
📖 Numbers 14:28
> “As ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you.”
This should be your governing attitude in May: Speak what you want to see.
If you want strength, speak strength.
If you want renewal, speak renewal.
If you want favour, speak favour.
If you want open doors, speak open doors.
If you want victory, speak victory.
Do not use your mouth to build what you are praying against.
Attitude for May:
Speak only what you are ready to experience.
Conclusion
May is too important to be entered carelessly.
It is a month of Overflow of Strength and Renewal, and your attitude must align with its prophecy.
This month:
speak strength
reject negativity
agree with God
renew your mind
expect manifestation
protect your atmosphere
speak what you want to see
May will answer to you according to your faith, your words, and your attitude.
So watch what you say in May.
Because in this month, your words will matter more than ever.
