Mark 3:27 Let me illustrate this further. Who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.

People who excel do more and people who excel, they do more. In Genesis 24, Abraham sent his oldest servant to help pick out a wife for Isaac. So, he prayed and stepped out in faith.

His Image
1 Sam.3:19 “As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him, and everything Samuel said, proved to be reliable.”
The second thing that excellent people do is sharpen their skills. So, rate yourself; how are your job skills? You need to be brutal with yourself in your assessment. If your job skills are obsolete, then you are a one. If you are learning, then you are a five. A ten is if you have a developmental plan. Read the rest of this entry
Re-New
Prov. 24:16 “For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again.” [with emphasis]
Today, we will continue to draw strength and inspiration as well as challenge ourselves with the story of Ray Crock, the founder of McDonalds. He did not just start off a billion dollar company at the age of fifty-two, many other people became billionaires because one man chose to stick it out! What is your excuse? Locate that excuse and trash it! Not many of us reading this today have turned Read the rest of this entry
Over Turn
Eccl.10:10 “If the ax is dull, and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success”
Energy even though finite is a variable. You can increase your energy level physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually by doing the right type of exercise and eating right accordingly.

Exposure Rate
Isa. 59: 1 “Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. 2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore”
Yesterday, we learnt about the first way to increase our energy level by conductivity. I pray for you this morning that your conductivity level when it comes to God’s power, will be higher than silver, in Jesus Name.

Sin is a showstopper when it comes to the flow of power.
