Live on a Mission!

Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
(Romans 8:34)


Live on a Mission
We’ve all come through things that should have stopped us. Maybe you’ve been through a divorce or lost a loved one, and your heart was broken. You didn’t think you could go on. What you may not have realized is that Jesus was interceding for you that your faith wouldn’t fail. You wonder how you made it through that tough time. The Creator of the universe was praying for you.

We’ve seen good breaks that we didn’t make happen, doors open that we couldn’t open, addictions broken that we couldn’t break. We’re on the other side now. What is our responsibility now? Pray and encourage others. Strengthen that person with cancer, intercede for that friend who’s going through a divorce and doesn’t want to go on, reach out to that coworker who’s fighting an addiction, spend time with that neighbor who’s lonely. Live on a mission: “God brought me through, and I’m going to help someone else.” Help someone else overcome what you’ve overcome. Give away what you’ve been given.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that Jesus is seated at Your right hand and intercedes for me through all the tough times I face. Thank You that You carry me through to victory, and I can help others in the same way. Help me to live on a mission to strengthen and intercede for others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
