Just Do It, There Is A Reward

Sometimes God asks us to do things that don’t make sense. It doesn’t seem logical. It doesn’t fit into our budget. It doesn’t line up with our schedule. “God, You want me to go back to college? I’m 40 years old.” “God, You want me to give them a gift? I was saving those funds for my own dreams.” Or, “God, You want me to leave this secure position that I’ve had for years and start my own business?” Too often we over analyze it. We debate it; look at it only in the natural. We end up making excuses, talking ourselves out of it, “That couldn’t be God.” But if you’re going to reach your highest potential, you have to have bold obedience. That means you obey even when you don’t understand it. You just do it even when it doesn’t make sense. That’s what faith is all about.
If you can understand everything and have the time, the money and it’s all lined up, then that doesn’t really take any faith. God will ask you to do things that seem far out, unusual, not practical. With every act of obedience, there is a blessing attached to it. When you do what you know God wants you to do, a blessing will follow. God rewards obedience!

SHAKE IT OFF

Image
Every one of us in life will have time when we will be criticized. We will have people who will always find ways to put us down. But you don’t need to take it personally, because the fault is not from you, but from them. Most times we get criticized when we get a victory, or a promotion, or an award etc. But to be our best we need to know how to deal with these people. We all have victories in us, but often times we can’t tap into it because we let our opposition get the best of us. You try to pay them back for the lies they told about you, the evil things they said you did that you didn’t do, you feel if you don’t stop them they’ll just continue bad mouthing you.  But the problem with that is you can’t stop criticism. The way you overcome is not to become revengeful, it’s not talk bad about them… the best thing to do is let it go. Jesus told His disciples, when you go into town, any house that does not take you in, when you leave that place, shake the dust off. Don’t take it

Heavenly Heirship

Image
In life, we all have negative things that happen to us. We go through situations that are unfair. I know people who were raised in an unhealthy environment. Their parents had issues, and now it’s making life much more difficult on them. But here is the truth: when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, He gives you a new  heart. In other words, your bloodline changes. No longer are you subject to your earthly heritage; you become subject to your heavenly heritage! His spiritual blessing always overrides the curse in the natural realm. When you understand who you are and what God has already done, then no matter what someone else did, no matter how unfair it was, no matter how you were raised, you won’t get bitter. You won’t live with a chip on your shoulder. You realize that nothing can stop you from fulfilling your God-given destiny! Today, remember you came from Almighty God. He gave you life. When you choose Him, you are  choosing your heavenly heritage of blessin

Ask For More Than What You Deserve

Image
Sometimes we try to help God by considering the amount of things we ask from Him. We feel that when asking Him for something, we shouldn't ask too much, maybe we think we might seem selfish or we have a higher chance of getting what we want when we ask for little.  We forget that His supplies are limitless and He has not placed a limit to what we can ask of Him. If you can boldly declare how great and mighty He is, we should also have that understanding that He can also do great and mighty things for you. He said "He'll do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask of Him..." So when asking God for something, don't go to Him with a cup, rather go with something bigger, go with a large heart heart ready to receive all that He can offer. We shouldn't have the "I don't deserve this" mentality, because if we think of it that way, we probably do not deserve the life we're currently living. But God kept you. Why? Because He doesn't s
