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...

Listen Up!

"After the earthquake a fire, but Adonai was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice."   (1 Kings 19:12) Listen Up! Listening is a lost art today.

All it takes is a simple prayer like the one Samuel prayed in 1 Samuel 3:10 when he said to God, "I am listening." Then be ready to listen for His answer. A Prayer for Today "God, than...

Blessed Indeed!

  “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.”  Numbers 6:24–25, NIV Blessed Indeed Start today with God’s blessing on you, with His face shining upon you. You were created in His image. He didn’t make any mistakes. You didn’t get shortchanged. He knew every weakness you would have. He knew the areas you would struggle in. So quit beating yourself up, living unworthy, letting condemnation hold you back. Receive His grace and mercy and move forward with boldness and faith. With God’s blessing, you have to start blessing yourself. When you’re tempted to say something negative, turn it around. Instead of “I’m not attractive,” say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Instead of “I’ve made too many mistakes,” say “I am forgiven, redeemed, and restored.” Instead of “I’ll never be successful,” say “I’m surrounded by favor.” You have a destiny to fulfill. There’s a calling on your life, an assignment that only you can accomplish. The...
