Endure
2 Tim.4:5 [NIV] “But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.”
A lot of us devote so much energy daily to trying to avoid challenges. We should actually be thanking God for challenges and adversity because they help us develop endurance.
Divine Possibilities
Matt.19: 21 [NIV] “…go, sell your possessions and give to the poor… 29 “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.”
The cost of having vision, of being a God-inspired visionary as exemplified in this Scripture, is losing everything. And Jesus says the reward is you will get a hundred times more in this present world and eternal life in the world to come. Read the rest of this entry
Settle It
Matt.19:21 [NIV] “Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
The Bible says in Matt.19:22 “When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.” Make sure that nothing you have possesses your soul.
Awesome Company
Heb.12: 23 “You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect.”
Let this consciousness be in you; you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the Living God and to countless thousands of angels. Read the rest of this entry
The God Kind
Luke 7:47“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”
Looking at this young ruler, his life was full on the outside but his life was empty on the inside. If you find out that your life is fuller on the outside and empty on the inside,
Ready?
Luke 18:18 (NIV, with emphasis) “A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
The scriptures describe this man as young, rich, healthy, and in my opinion, full of vitality and he was a ruler. It is possible to be rich and be sick, or be rich and not have authority. But he was young, he was rich and he was a ruler. He was recognized in the community. Read the rest of this entry
Open Eyes
Ps. 34:12 “Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? 13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! 14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.”
It is not enough to pride in yourself that you do not tell lies. Listening to lies is equally as dangerous because the spirit of delusion is lurking in the corner waiting for an open door.
First Love – New Love!
As God Intends
Prov.19:18 (GNT) “Discipline your children while they are young enough to learn. If you don’t, you are helping them destroy themselves”
Parenting worthy of honour is only possible when you see yourself how God has placed you. Becoming a parent means you are representing God in your child’s life.
Parenting
Isa.40:11 “He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.”
Effective parenting only happens within the confines of sufficiency, wisdom, and love. Abuse begins when authority is misused outside of these lines. Read the rest of this entry
