  The Reward Factor Scripture: Revelation 22:12–13, NIV “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. ” (Revelation 22:12-13, NIV) Jesus Christ is coming back to this world soon! Unfortunately, most people give no thought to the certainty of his return. But for  KingdomNomics thinkers , this passage is the MAJOR motivating factor in life. Jesus Christ is not only coming back, but he is bringing his reward with him. He is going to give to each person according to what he or she has done in this world. “ For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ ” (1 Corinthians 3:11, NIV). “ If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames ” (1 Corinthians 3:14–15,...

  When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel. 2 Samuel 5:3, NIV Into the Fullness of Your Purpose At thirty-seven years old, seven years after David was anointed to be the king of Judah and twenty years after he was first anointed by Samuel to become the next king of Israel, the elders of Israel anointed him king over all of Israel, over all twelve tribes. So why this third anointing? The first two were necessary to bring him to this point, but God knew with this new assignment, with greater responsibility and challenges, David would need a fresh anointing. This third anointing was his most powerful anointing, which brought him into the fullness of his purpose. At every season in your life, when you’re going to step up to a new level, when you need more wisdom, more strength, more protection, God will be right there with a fresh anointing, with fresh ideas, fr...

  Designed by God Scripture: Psalm 33:15, NKJV “ He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. ” (Psalm 33:15, NKJV) Incredible! Each of us has been specifically designed by God for his purpose and use. Christians are told this in Scripture: “ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them ” (Ephesians 2:10, NKJV). Discovering God’s plan and purpose is the most fulfilling part of life one can imagine. God has redeemed us for his purposes, “ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works ” (Titus 2:14, NKJV). God considers all of our works. After all, he designed us, and he is interested in seeing whether his purposes are being served. Our redeemed talents, gifts, and desires call us into the avenues of service he has prepared for us. God has given you a heart to do something for him. You...

  All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them. 1 Corinthians 10:11, TLB Object Lessons The Scripture provides us with countless object lessons to read about and learn from. Think of the life of Moses. If you were in his classroom, he would tell you, “I’m here to encourage you that it’s not too late to accomplish your dreams. I was eighty years old, taking care of sheep in the desert, and thought I’d made so many mistakes that God was done with me. Then one day God showed up in a burning bush and said, ‘Go deliver the two million Israelites from Pharaoh.’ I didn’t think I could do it. I was intimidated, I stuttered, but something rose up in me, a faith, a fire, an anointing. I stepped out and God made things happen that I never imagined.” Take this lesson from Moses. God didn’t disqualify you because you made mistakes. He hasn’t forgotten ab...

  Convictions are Key Scripture: Romans 4:20–21, NIV “ Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. ” (Romans 4:20-21, NIV) Abraham is a prime example of one who was fully persuaded that God would perform what he had promised. That is conviction. Conviction was a controlling factor in Abraham’s life, and he ordered his life accordingly, experiencing the blessing of God. Conviction is a key component of faith. When a person lacks conviction, their faith wavers and the promises of God may not be fulfilled. Scripture tells us, “W hen you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord ” (James 1:6–7, NIV). We must have the conviction that the Word of God is living and powerful, and that it works in those...

  And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians 3:15, NLT Let Peace Rule Your Heart In Acts 12, after King Herod Agrippa saw how pleased the people were when he killed the apostle James, he arrested Peter and put him in prison for sharing his faith. On the night before his trial, Peter knew he could be the next in line. His life could be over in a few hours. You would think he would be so worried, so panicked, but Peter understood the principle of letting the peace of Christ rule in his heart. Fear came knocking at the door, but he said, “No, thanks. I’m going to stay in peace. My God is still in control.” That’s why the angel had to wake Peter up when he came and rescued him from the prison. In the face of death, Peter had the peace that passes understanding. That’s what happens when you take control of your thought life. When you refuse to envision everything that could ...
