Pressing Need
Prov.29:18 (VOICE) “Where there is no vision from God, the people run wild, but those who adhere to God’s instruction know genuine happiness.”
Vision is crucial mainly because life is a series of problems, challenges, trials, and opportunities. The fact that you are moving from solving one problem in your life to another, does not mean something or someone is hunting you.
God’s Order
Matt.5: 27 “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart” [with emphasis].
The world is putting a lot of people under pressure to ascertain “compatibility” before marriage. And the test for compatibility is the joining of bodies outside of marriage.
In Step
John 14:6 “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
Our heavenly Father is a perfect example of love, wisdom, and sufficiency. He says, “I Am that I Am – I Am sufficient in Myself” and we should follow His example.
With Honours
2 Chron. 1:10 “Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly, for who could possibly govern this great people of yours?”
Parenting worthy of honour is possible. The first thing is, you need to see yourself how God has placed you. Becoming parent means you are representing God in your child’s life.
Fitting
Rom. 13:7 (NRSV) “Pay to all what is due them—taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honour to whom honour is due.”
Respect is impartial but honour is subjective. Respect is impartial meaning you really do not need to like a person to respect him or her. God wants us to regard our parents as weighty even though that might not be the case.
Caution!!!
Prov.23:4 “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint” [with emphasis]
God honours hard work and not ‘work-a-holism’. God wants you to work hard but He does not want you to be a workaholic. God wants us to be passionate about our professions but God does not want us to be obsessed with our professions. Obsessing about your work is unhealthy. Read the rest of this entry
Next Level
Rom.12:18 (NIV) “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” [with emphasis]
We are on a journey with God and the destination is thriving at work. However, even though the thrust in this season is on work, you will notice that God is challenging us beyond our work life. He is challenging us to our core on certain areas in our lives. I am trusting that God Himself will change our lives and take us to the next level in our businesses, in our careers and in our relationships, in Read the rest of this entry
Refining Word
Eccl.10:10 “If the ax is dull, and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success” [with emphasis]
Energy consists of four components –physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, and spiritual energy. To manage your energy, you must be optimal in your physical energy. In order to achieve this, you need to exercise and be deliberate about watching what you eat. What you eat and how you exercise will determine your physical energy. If you do not Read the rest of this entry
Winning Attitude
Prov. 19:8 “To acquire wisdom is to love yourself; people who cherish understanding will prosper.”
Prov.4:6 (GW) “Do not abandon wisdom, and it will watch over you. Love wisdom, and it will protect you. 7 The beginning of wisdom is to acquire wisdom. Acquire understanding with all that you have 8 cherish wisdom. It will raise you up. It will bring you honour when you embrace it.” Read the rest of this entry
Get It!
Dan.9:2 [NIV] “in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.” [with emphasis]
Jeremiah had paid the price and the scriptures say that the Word of the Lord had been given to him. Daniel could have said, “I am Daniel the one that has an excellent spirit, I will get my own Word from the Lord.” Read the rest of this entry
