YOU ARE SPECIAL TO GOD

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:9 You are special to God. You are a priest and a king to God. He saved you by his grace and washed you in the blood of Jesus. He has made you righteous and blameless before Him. And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our own sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6 You are unique and there is no one quite like you. Only you can do what you do the way that you do it. You do not have to compare yourself with others because you are different. You are hand crafted and made in God’s image and likeness. You are His masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made. Y...

DAILY BENEFITS

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Psalm 68:19 There are benefits that we can enjoy on a daily basis; this includes both spiritual and material blessings. Spiritual blessings like forgiveness, love, peace and joy, etc. Material blessings like health, provision, honor, life, etc. God daily loads us with benefits. When you are in need, God wants to provide for you. When you are sick, God wants you to heal you. When you are in trouble, God wants to deliver you. God is a good God and He is out to bless us. It is evident because He gave us His only Son, how will He not with Him also freely give us all things. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 No wonder David could boldly say: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6 However, take note of wh...

HAVE A VISION

Then the LORD answered me and said: “Write down the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.” Habakkuk 2:2 When you get into your car and drive, you have to know exactly where you are going in order to know which route to take. Having a vision and writing it down is the same, you know exactly where you are going so you know which route to take in life. When you know where you are going, you will know how to get there. You know what is necessary and what you need to get rid of, all because of the vision you have written down. You know what it will take and the sacrifices you need to make in order to accomplish your vision. A vision gives you hope and a sense of direction. It gives you discipline. You know that you are going somewhere. You know that your best days are ahead of you and the best is yet to come. You have something to look forward to because of your vision. Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16...

HUMBLE PEOPLE PRAISE OTHERS AND NOT THEMSELVES

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger not your own lips. Proverbs 27:2 Have you ever met people who love to talk about themselves? People who can hold a conversation from start to finish just talking about themselves. They wouldn’t talk about anything that concerns the person that they are communicating with. That is not wisdom and that is not humility. Humble people don’t praise themselves. They shift the focus from themselves to others in order to bring out the best in others. Humble people love to praise others and not themselves. Humble people encourage, compliment and speak well of others in their conversations. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Colossians 4:6 Uplift and speak well of others in your conversations. Instead of focusing on people’s shortcomings, highlight the good that people do. This is especially good for leadership. Leaders highlight the good that peopl...

HUMBLE PEOPLE PRAY

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Our opening Scripture clearly states that if God’s people who are called by His name will humble themselves and pray. Humble people pray. Prayerful people are humble people. Proud people don’t pray because they think that they don’t have to. They fail to realize how much they need God. However, Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5 I submit to you that the first sign of humility is prayer. When you humble yourself before God in prayer, in due season, He will exalt you. When you humble yourself before God in prayer, you will also humble yourself before others. Likewise you younger people, submit to your elders. Yes, ...

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Jude 1:20 God wants you to be led by the Spirit, pray in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit. I like to put it this way, you are led by the Spirit to pray in the Spirit and then you walk in the Spirit. When you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 On the day of Pentecost when the disciples of Jesus received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, praying in tongues was the first gift they received. Furthermore, Paul said to the church at Corinth, “I thank my God I speak in tongues more that you all.” That goes to show how important praying in the Spirit is. I thank my God I speak in tongues more than you all. 1 Corinthians 14:18 Sometimes you do not know what to say or how to pray. God has given us the gift of tongues to pray effectively. When you pray in the Spirit you...

GOOD SUCCESS

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8 When you meditate on the Word of God you will have good success and not bad success. I would say that success that keeps you from your family and church is bad success. To meditate on the Word means to think upon and mutter the Word as if you were trying to memorize it and more often than not you do memorize it. You renew or upgrade your mind through meditation. Meditation gives you a success mentality and it brings you good success. Whatever you do can prosper and the key is meditation. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is the law of the LORD, and in His law He meditates day and night. He shall be like a tr...
