A Discipline Mind!

Be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
Titus 1:8, NIV
A Disciplined Mind
Many people are disciplined when it comes to their career. They’re productive, on time, excellent. Some people are disciplined when it comes to their health. They eat right, exercise, and get the right amount of sleep. But when it comes to our thought life, sometimes we’re undisciplined and lack self-control. We let any thought in, then we let it stay and play over and over in our mind. “You never get any good breaks. Everything always goes wrong. It’s not going to change.” We end up living worried, insecure, intimidated, and troubled.

If you’re going to stay in peace, full of faith, expecting God’s favor, you can’t be passive and just think whatever comes into your mind. You can’t give space to thoughts that limit you. You have to have a disciplined mind. You have to be responsible to exercise self-control. You have to keep out the doubts and lies, lock up any deceptive thoughts, and focus on what God says about you, on what He promises you in His Word. Set up a guard over your mind, and you’ll live positive, joyful, and full of faith.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for giving me Your promises to meditate upon. Thank You that Your Word instructs me to be disciplined and to think on things that are true and right, wholesome and pure. I declare that I will exercise self-control over the thoughts playing in my mind and win the battle. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

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. We can be so concerned about expressing our thoughts and opinions that we don't listen closely to others—or even to God. If we're not careful, distractions and busyness can drown out the voice that matters most in our lives, the voice of our heavenly Father. The good news is that you can learn to tune out the negative noise of the world and start listening for God's voice, for hopeful, positive, faith-filled thoughts. Be receptive and listen for His still, small voice on the inside of you. God speaks not only through the Bible but also through godly counsel and His Holy Spirit. 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...
