True Success Under God…

by Leave a Comment

 Many people think that prosperity and success come from having power, knowing influential people, or a large bank account but God teaches us that real prosperity goes against this criteria. When we really think of success we should not be looking at what we have on the outside but who we are on the inside.

 True success is not how we succeed by this world’s standards.  True success is achieved in how we develop our children to help define their future. Our friends, our families, our spouses and our children are the jewels in life that God has given us to prosper. I challenge you today to not chase something of the world but learn to appreciate the love that God has given through the love of Jesus Christ.   

Real success does not come in what is gained but is defined in what we give back in return…amen

Life Is A Great Adventure With God…

by Leave a Comment

 Without God our challenges in life can be frightening, but with God our challenges can be a great adventure because we never know where He will take us next. Every day we face tough situations, difficult people, and even temptations which come from Satan in trying to get us to act in our flesh and knock us off coarse. It is easy to get sidetracked in our emotions and forget how God is the one who moves the mountains that we face. God promises each of us that He will never abandon us and all we have to do is focus on Him and He will bring us through.

 By asking God to direct us we can conquer many of life’s challenges. It is when we learn to look for how God is wanting to use us in our circumstances that helps us to discover the joy in this life’s adventure. I challenge you today to look at this physical life as an adventure to help others stay focused on the eternal direction.

 It is when we take our eyes off of the goal that we forget the objectives in the game…amen

Stay Committed & Trust God…

by 2 Comments

It is very easy to speak out against what we see, but in true love that is directed by God we are to stand in faith while sharing the love of Jesus Christ. God reveals to us what is not right by Him in others to help mold us into who He wants us to be once we have been set free.

As we mature and learn to trust in God it is our duty to stand-fast in love in the winds of sin in this fallen world. It is when we take matters into our own hands that we can cause a division in our relationships to the point that they can cause anger and even divorce. I challenge you today to trust in God and learn to focus on the positives instead of allowing Satan to consume you with the negatives. For all Satan wants is for us to separate from what God has given because he knows that we are more vulnerable when we feel all alone…amen

God Is Our Refuge…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to entrust our lives to other things like money, our careers, our friends, our leaders or even our parents but until we recognize that God is our refuge and our only true security our lives are destined for a fall. Our only true refuge is in our eternal God who always holds out His arms to catch us when the shaky supports that we trust in this world collapse and often cause us to fall.

 No storm can destroy us when we take refuge in our living God! Those without Him must be forever cautious because all it takes is one mistake to wipe them out. Living for God in this world may look like risky business but it is the godless who are on shaky ground. With God as our refuge we can dare to be bold and overlook the waves that we see to discover the peace of God that we so need. I challenge you today to learn to trust in God for your needs for He is the only one who is there when everything else is gone…amen

Believe In God’s Promise…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to just go through the day in our normal routines of life and overlook how God is working all around us. Often we cry out to God our Father in Heaven asking Him for our direction or for help to get through our issues in life but we miss the boat because of the waves that we see. Then we become stuck in our storms or circumstances in life because we forget how God is in control and we can’t see how He is directing our path to be a positive example for our childrens future.

 We by nature tend to except our circumstances rather than trusting God to deliver us from our hardships in life and this often robs us of the Promise which God has given in His Word. As a child of God we all know when something is simply just not right and until we learn to speak the Truth how can we honestly expect something to get better?   

 Until we truly commit ourselves to make a positive difference we will only continue to sit on the banks of the river and just dream of what it must be like on the other side. I challenge you today to seek God for your strength and trust in Him for the courage you need to succeed..amen

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
