There are some differences between a prophecy and a decree. When a prophecy comes, that is a promise and when God makes a promise, He will definitely fulfill it at the appropriate time and with the proper conditions. However, when He makes a decree, the fulfilment is immediate and without any conditions.
The prayer of every Christian should be that God should turn every prophecy into a decree in their favour. Abraham had received the prophecy that he would be a father of nations, but somehow the fulfilment was taking time to manifest. The day Abraham invited God to eat, every prophecy concerning childbirth became a decree.
That day, He brought what was yet to come to now. In John 2:1-11, at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus mother told Him the hosts no longer had any wine. He told His mother, My time is not yet come, but not long after that, not yet became now. In 2 Kings 4:8-17, when Elisha decreed to the Shunammite woman that she would have a son, even though she didn’t believe him, it came to pass.
A decree sets aside your doubts and unbelief. It goes ahead to do what was spoken while a prophecy, on the other hand, requires you to believe and even pray sometimes for it to come to pass. There is no prophecy God has declared concerning you that He cannot bring to pass because He is the Almighty.
Matthew 3:9 says He is so mighty that He can even bring children out of stones. He is so mighty that He can literally reverse the irreversible because, in Romans 4:16-19, the Bible says that the womb of Sarah was already dead. If you want to see that prophecy manifest immediately, it needs to become a decree.
How do you get God to turn His prophecies concerning you into decrees? Simple: offer unto Him what He delights in. Psalms 50:13-14 says Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High. Sing praises to God, thank Him from the bottom of your heart, do His will. If you do these so much and so well that it touches His heart, He will turn prophecies to decrees in your life.

Father, please turn every prophecy I have received to a decree in my favour in Jesus name.
Open Heaven 25 September 2022 Sunday Hymn
HYMN: O LORD MY GOD, WHEN I IN AWESOME WONDER
1. Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Refrain
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art
2. When through the woods,
And forest glades i wander,
And hear the birds,
Sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down,
From lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the Brook,
And feel the gentle breeze
3. And when I think,
That God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scare can take it in,
That on the cross,
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin.
4. When Christ shall come, With shout of acclamation
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow,
In humble adoration
And then proclaim,
My God, how great Thou art
