Natural Gifts Of God

July 10, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

One of the most important things about teaching is learning to recognize the natural strengths of each individual to help them develop their God given talents into maturity. Have you ever seen the difference between an artist that went to school to learn how to paint verses an artist that was just born with a natural gift of God?

Their is a distinct difference in the expression of the art between the two because you can feel the difference in the depth of the painting in the one born with the natural gift verses the one that was taught by man. It is the passion behind our goals that shows the depth of our picture in life and when we overlook those with natural gifts of God due to rules and procedures is when we so often miss what God has right before us.

In today’s society many have become seriously blinded to the natural gifts of God in others due to their own fears and the amount of emphasis being placed on the accomplishments of man instead of seeing the accomplishments of God. It is very easy in our human nature to become blind when we place so much emphasis on the guidelines to follow along with the sins of others as the Pharisees did in the Holy Bible and Jesus warned us of this in order for us to maintain our Balance in life. The Lord gives us guidelines to follow but He also taught us how to be alert to our surroundings because we never know where God could be working next.

There is no better blessing in this world than to know that we played a roll in the Kingdom of God by helping His children discover who they are as child of God and develop the talents which the Lord provides to further His will and not our own. I challenge you to look beyond what you see in the physical to recognize what can take place in the spiritual to further the Kingdom of God for our children’s future…amen

For we never know what God has right before us until we learn to look for God instead of man…

Who Guides Your Decisions?

May 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very important to examine the deep roots of our intentions, our goals, and our life ambitions to insure the right spiritual seed that is guiding our path. This examination is not only important before we make our decisions but it is equally if not more important to continue throughout our commitments as we begin to build our relationships, our careers, and our missions in life.

When people don’t know God and understand how He is in full control they often make their decisions based on their own knowledge or desires which can be driven through our emotions and selfish ambitions. Spiritually Satan wants us to make these type of decisions because he knows that when we don’t truly seek God in our decisions how easily they can be broken.

Unfortunately, in today’s society many people make decisions that are far from God in hollow religion due to the influence of monetary gain and by trusting in man instead of learning to trust our Father in Heaven. It is in our human nature to want others to rely on us but when we do this then we are misleading the people because every single individual needs to learn how to rely on God instead of trusting in man.

Through my journey in life I have learned how Satan can even mislead us even when we think that we are on the right coarse. The key to this is staying humble in the love of Christ without allowing pride to separate us from the people. There was once a point that I would not listen to others because I thought that I had all the answers but there came a point that I had to learn a valuable lesson in allowing God to bring things together rather than trying to do it on my own.

It is very wise to listen and then go to God in prayer before we make our decisions in life to prevent us from acting in our emotions which can cause a division within the body. The Lord speaks in many different ways to warn us, to guide us, and to help unite us but when we become so stuck in our own way then it is only a matter of time that we forget God’s way. It is important to recall that His ways are much higher than our ways and His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts.

If we seriously want to maintain what God has given us in our homes, in our careers, in our churches, and even in our nation then we must learn to work together under God with mutual respect for each individual without divisions in the body. Spiritually Satan has done a good job of causing many divisions in this world because many people want to prove their own self worth rather than just being who they are under God and allowing Him to bring things together rather than trying to do it on our own.

Throughout history we learn of many great leaders who stood up in a time of need, not for the attention, not for monetary gain, nor for their own self glory. They did not have prepared speeches but they just spoke from their heart with God guiding their actions to help encourage and unite the people. It is vital in life that we learn to stand on the truth of God to maintain what we have been given because when we take it for granted then it is only a matter of time before it will be taken away.

Every single individual has a purpose in life and we all add value to each other when we learn how to work together rather than apart. It is my sincere prayer that we put aside our differences and learn to unite for our children’s future in God’s glory rather than our own. May God be with us and give every single individual that reads this the wisdom to work together in the love of Christ to help rebuild whatever in their life that may be broken…amen

For a decision that is right in the eyes of God is one that properly serves the people first and then if it is in God’s will then He will bless the people.

Love Comes In Our Freewill

May 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Nothing of God has restrictions but only requires our obedience to maintain what has been given in true love. Unfortunately, many people never understand this and they live in fear of losing what they have been given so they devise ways to suppress the love that is carried by demanding it in return. It is important to remember that true love is never directed but only comes in our freewill as we choose to receive and give back in return.

When we receive it is important to give in return because if we only take without giving then it is only a matter of time before someone could be left behind. I challenge you today to express your love with those that God has put in your path and remember what we put into life is what we will get out of it…amen

Don’t Hold Back What You Can Give

May 17, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very easy in life to not trust others when we have been burned but when we hold back what we can give then this only limits what we can have. So many people today are living their lives half hearted in their relationships, in their careers, and even in their spiritual walk with God and this has created a lack of fulfilment in their life.

How can we ever be truly happy with something if we are holding back the happiness in return? Until we learn how to give our all and then even go the extra mile to help others along the way we will always be looking for something else rather than appreciating what we already have. I challenge you today to renew your commitment under God to give your all in everything you do to begin to see the blessings that could be before you…amen

Momentum In The Spirit Of God

May 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a great momentum that carries us forward in the spirit of God when we learn how to let go of what is holding us back. Everyday we encounter set backs spiritually by Satan that come from all different directions in order to remove our focus from what God has placed in our hearts to achieve and maintain. These set backs or restrictions in the spirit of God not only come from outside sources but many times they simply come down to one thing our own lack of faith in truly trusting God.

When we do not know how to trust in God it is natural for us in the flesh to place our trust in what we have instead of learning to understand what we are missing. We can witness this lack of trust in our relationships, in our careers, and unfortunately even in the church. Spiritually Satan likes us to have doubts in others because he knows that when we show our doubts then this will spread to others by planting a negative seed in the spirit of Satan instead of the positive seed of God in the Holy Spirit that can produce future fruit.

Have you ever worked under someone that did not understand how to reach certain goals in life because they were too scared of losing their own position? Have you ever been around someone that would not give their all because they were too scared of someone else leaving them behind? Have you ever experienced someone that tried to hold you back because they did not want to see you succeed? Or, have you ever just not made that step of faith because of your own internal doubts? This is exactly how Satan works in this world because he does not want us to move forward in the freedom of Christ and he wants us to be restricted just as he.

The Lord gave us principles to follow in order to maintain the foundation in the direction which God provides. But far too often we allow Satan to limit us to what can be achieved because of our own fears or of our own selfish pride. When we allow Satan to spiritually hold us back then we create a negative chain reaction that holds back others. And, if we are not careful during this suppression to recognize what is taking place in our own lack of trust in God then this can lead to a form of rebellion that can cause a division within our relationships, our careers, and sadly even in the body of Christ.

The object in life is to learn how to work together in the spirit of God not only to build something for our children’s future but in order to maintain the foundation from which we have been given. It is imperative as we mature to be on the lookout for those that God is raising up in our youth to carry on what God has already began. This same principle applies not only in the church but also in our careers to insure the logevity of what God has given for our children’s future. When we overlook this vital principle in the chain of life is when we often restrict others from the blessings that God provides in order to help carry us forward. God gives us children to carry on our family heritage, and God raises up men and women to reach new levels in life through the love of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, we often miss these blessings because we don’t know how to pass on what God has given because we fail to release our temporary control in order to maintain the momentum in the spirit of God.

I challenge you today to let go of what could be holding you back and learn to trust in God for the end results by giving your all in everything you do. Don’t allow Satan to misguide you spiritually into thinking that you can’t improve something when you can and don’t allow someone else to hold you back when all you have to do is trust in God and believe. This world is full of diversions to remove our focus from what God has given and until we learn to just trust in Him we will only continue to miss the blessings that He has before us…amen

A true leader is one that uplifts others rather than trying to only maintain something for themselves…
