CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Proverbs 17:27 A man of understanding is of a calm spirit, a man of prayer is of a calm spirit. A man of prayer can control his emotions particularly when he prays very much in tongues. Warren Buffet says that if you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money. However, as Christians self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. We can walk in self-control when we learn to pray in the Spirit. We can bear the fruit of the Spirit when we learn to pray in the Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 When you pray in the Spirit you crucify the flesh. When you pray in the Spirit you die to the flesh. I like to pray in the Spirit every morning. I die daily to the flesh. I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 1 Corinthians 1...

THE JUST KEEP WINNING

But the path of the just is like the shinning sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18 The just go from faith to faith, strength to strength and glory to glory. The just keep winning. Their path keeps getting better and better, brighter and brighter. Their lives are full of glory. The just are those who are born again. The just are those who walk by faith that is to say, those who live by faith. Faith is believing and speaking and faith is believing and taking action. The just believe the Word and speak the Word, the just believe the Word and act on the Word. This keeps them on the winning path. For the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17 Faith is lifestyle. The faith walk or the lifestyle of faith is an upward and forward life; it is an ever increasing life. We don’t regress, but we progress. We don’t decrease, but we increase. Anyone who walks or live by faith will ...

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT YOURSELF?

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Proverbs 18:20 What you say about yourself is more important than what others say about you. People might not believe in you and say negative things concerning you. People may ridicule and shame you. It doesn’t matter, what’s important is what you say about yourself. There is power in your mouth. You can create your desired future with your own words. Your words have creative ability to change your circumstance! If you call yourself blessed and highly favored, no man can alter it. God will back it up. You could be waiting for your situation to change but God is waiting for you to change what you say about yourself. You are a king and priest to God, your words have power. Where the word of a king is, there is power; and who may say to him, “what are you doing?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 If you say words that are inconsistent with God’s Word, your life will go in the wron...

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 All things are possible, not some things but all things are possible if you believe. Nothing is impossible if you believe. Your highest dreams and aspirations are all possible if you believe. You can accomplish anything and you can be anything you want to be in life. All things are possible to him who believes because God is a great God, nothing is impossible with Him. Some people have big dreams, but after a while, when reality has set in, they change their dreams and they settle for lesser dreams because they don’t believe that they can achieve the seemingly impossible. Those who dream big and accomplish big things don’t settle for lesser dreams, they dream and they dream again, because they believe that nothing is impossible with God. They believe that they can achieve their dreams and they take it a step further and believe that they will. I can do all things through Christ w...

PROMOTION COMES TO SERVANTS

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:11 Many people want to do great things in the kingdom of God, but most people don’t know that in order for you to do great things you must be willing to do small things. In order for you to great things you have to do seemingly small and insignificant things. For God to trust you with great things you have to be faithful with the least. Servitude leads to success. Servitude leads to greatness. The greatest of all is the servant of all. If you want to be exalted you have to humble yourself. The way up is the way down. And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last and servant of all. Mark 9:35 If you want God to use you, start by serving in your local church and in your home. God uses people who are already doing something. As a matter of fact, when you start servin...

THE MORE YOU GIVE THE MORE YOU RECEIVE

There is one who scatters yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.  Proverbs 11:24 Generosity leads to prosperity while stinginess leads to poverty. There is no prosperity without generosity. You cannot reap unless you have planted. When you give, you are not losing because you will be blessed in the future. Giving doesn’t decrease people, giving increases people. If you want to grow in the area of finances then be generous. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7 Many people plan how they will spend their money, but few people plan how to give their money. If you want to be a prosperous man, learn to plan how to be generous. Generosity differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful and the rich from the poor. Rich and successful people have this in common, they are generous. But a generous man devices generous things, and by generosity he shall ...

AVOID DEBT

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7 Although debt is not sin but debt is not wise. One major reason why debt is not smart is the interest that works against you. That is why God didn’t want His people to charge interest against one another when they lend money to each other. If you lend to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest. Exodus 22:25 However, in our world today when you borrow, the lender will charge you interest. When you borrow you become servant to the lender. It is difficult to get ahead financially living in debt. Debt is not smart, because when you do the math, interest accumulated through savings or investments will put you at a much better place financially. Rather than having interest work against you through debt. You can live a debt free life. You can be financially free. It takes discipline and following God’s ways of handl...
