                             RISE TO THE LEVEL OF FAITH

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
—2 Timothy 4:7

The “good fight” Paul speaks of is the war of faith. Every day, we can either respond to life’s challenges in faith, or in fear and doubt. The choice is ours. We must warfare to rise to the level of faith by reminding ourselves of God’s goodness and the integrity of His Word. We must not yield to the powerful forces of darkness, disregarding the promises of the Scriptures. If we do, we will find ourselves in a state of doubt and confusion, leading to depression and destruction.

So our challenge is to approach every day waging the good fight of faith. You see, every time I’m faced with a problem, I can either panic, complain, and speak words of bitterness, or I can say, “Thank You, Father God, for using everything in my life to bring me to the next level in You. Thank You for this difficulty.” James and Peter taught us that we should rejoice when we encounter various trials because the hardships test our faith, meaning they bring us into a state of maturity and wholeness.

Today, beloved one, let’s choose to align ourselves with the Lord and the truth of His Word. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We will be victorious in the face of our trials when we arm ourselves with God’s Word and confidence in Yeshua’s goodness.

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 “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...
