Better Together
Heb.10:24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near
These three boys could easily have bowed to protect their livelihood and their lives, then repent afterwards. This is what a lot of people do because they have convinced themselves that it is okay, God understands. Just bow, Read the rest of this entry
Differentiator
Matt.7:24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.”
It is the storms and not wealth that is the differentiator in life. The storm is what reveals you to you. And that is why sometimes, God will allow us to experience storms so that we can identify the areas in our lives that are built on sand and not on the rock. Read the rest of this entry
The Progression
John 8:31 “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” [with emphasis]
Jesus lays out a progression for us in today’s Scripture reference and it is – Believe > Obey > Know > Release. There is the believing, then there is the obeying, then there is the knowing and then there is the releasing.
Phase III
Ex. 20:12 (VOICE) “You are to honour your father and mother. If you do, you and your children will live long and well in the land the Eternal your God has promised to give you.” [with emphasis]
Obeying this commandment is provoking and securing wellness for you and your children. The reason a lot of people keep struggling is because they are dishonouring their parents.
Economy Mode
Eccl. 8:6 (GN)”There is a right time and a right way to do everything but we know so little.” [with emphasis]
People and things will waste your time; sometimes this is inevitable and outside of your control. However, whether your energy will be conserved or wasted is always within your control. Let me illustrate with an experience I had some years ago. Read the rest of this entry
To Action
Dan.9:2 “During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet” [with emphasis]
Our scripture reference today shows us that Daniel did not have the answers. But Daniel learned from reading Books – the Word of the Lord in the Book of Jeremiah. Bottom line, Daniel was really smart but he still had to read. Read the rest of this entry
Bank
Pr.18:15 (LB) “The intelligent man is always open to new ideas – in fact, he looks for them” [with emphasis].
Today, we will begin with the concluding thought from yesterday’s devotional on the sources of ideas. The first source of ideas is God’s Word and the second source is Wise People. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Read the rest of this entry
Never Stop!
Prov. 15:14 (GN) “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance” [with emphasis]
The next N in Solomon’s six winning ways is Never Stop Learning. God’s Word states that, “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance.” Many people are brain dead and they have closed minds. Read the rest of this entry
Sweet Spot I
Eph.1:18 (KJV) “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints”
Work has two components – the job and the calling and they are very different. What a lot of people are doing is a job. To help us grasp this easily, we will enumerate the differences between the job and the calling. Read the rest of this entry
