Steps Of Faith

August 31, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In life we all take steps of faith whether we know it or not. As a child we walk in steps of faith relying on those to properly guide us in love and as we mature we are to leave that umbrella that is held up by others to learn how to hold one up on our own. In business we take steps of faith in trusting that those around us will do their jobs in order to fulfill the service or product that we may provide.

 One of the most important things to ever confirm is that God is in front of the steps that we take to insure the path that we are on. For when God is not the one guiding our direction then our steps of faith become steps in the flesh and these steps are destined to fall…

Are You Feeling Pressured?

August 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in the flesh to measure ourselves through our accomplishments in the world but in the Kingdom of God true greatness is determined by the level of service that we provide to others. Spiritually Satan is very active in our achievements because he knows how we tend to forget who got us to where we are and how we tend to compare ourselves to the standards of the world. Another reason that Satan is very active in this area is because he knows the weakness in our human nature when we allow the pressures of achieving a goal to rob us of who we are or who we can be.

 Pressures often cause us to make wrong decisions, fall into depression, and they even increase our anxieties when we do not know how to trust in God. For there is no pressure with God but only peace in knowing that if it is in the Lords will then it will come to pass in His timing and not in ours. If you are feeling pressured today I challenge you to take a step back and ask God to give you the peace that you need to understand where you are. For when we understand where we are is when we can begin to plan for where we are going…amen

Pray For Direction

August 24, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever thought about the moment that Christ returns and how He would witness us handling ourselves? We all encounter different test daily that should be helping us to grow closer to the Lord rather than acting out in our human nature. Our emotions are very hard to control when we do not understand what the Word of God is teaching in self control and trusting in God rather than in man.

 The Lord wants us to be alert in our daily lives in everything we do. When we drift away from God it is very easy to allow the pressures of this world to restrict our vision. When we stay close to God He helps us to maintain the attention that is required and He can give us the direction we need to overcome our struggles. I challenge you to take the time daily to pray to God for your direction and to ask God to give you the peace in where you are to insure where you are going…amen

God Desires Daily Obedience

August 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  God does not want our promises for the future but obedience for the day. For He knows how weak we are in the flesh and how we tend to make decisions in our emotions which only lead to broken promises in the future. Everyday that we are given we are to honor our commitments and to do our jobs to the best abilities that we can. 

 You will find that people tend to make promises in order to achieve their desires and it is very wise for us to recall that we don’t control the future. A person can only speak for themself and when someone tries to speak for others they must be on one accord to achieve the goal in the end. I challenge you today to not focus on what you desire in the future but learn to commit yourself to do the best job that you can today…amen

Real Change Starts Within

August 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?” There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to get to the roots at where they began and then work our way back up to the top! If we start on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. Honestly, how can we expect true change if we do not get to the bottom and work our way back up to the top? Once we are on the bottom it is necessary to study our foundation in order to repair and rebuild stronger than ever before.

  So many times in life we make half hearted attempts to change but due to the commitment that is required along with the hard work that it takes we only scratch  the surface before we eventually give up or settle with something less. I challenge you today and every other day to commit yourself in making a difference not only in your life but in someone elses without settling for something less than what God wants you to have…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…
