In Numbers 13–14, Moses’s twelve spies in the Promised Land all saw the same things–the land was flowing with milk and honey, but there were giants in the land and heavily fortified cities. Ten of the spies saw themselves as grasshoppers and spread a negative report among the two million Israelites that they could never conquer the land. Joshua and Caleb, however, brought a good message that they should go in and take the land at once. Both Joshua and…
You need to see uniquely to win spectacularly. You need to start your day seeing deeply into your winning instead of looking at all the difficulties you would face. When you look at all the challenges from all negative senses, you allow your circumstances to dictate the outcome. You must not have a negative attitude to manage your day. It’s easy to do. Too often, we don’t realise that our attitude is a choice we make every day. The Scripture…
*1.* “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.” *2* “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!.” *3* “Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one…
We can’t deceive people, tell half-truths, not keep our word, and expect God to bless us. Take it as a challenge that God is watching to see when He can promote you. He’s waiting for you to pass these integrity tests so He can take you higher. Have integrity in your finances, relationships, and how you treat people in what you watch, and you’ll walk securely into your fortune. An effectual prayer line is this: “Father, thank You for challenging…
Yes, Integrity Tests: “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” (Proverbs 10:9, NIV). Friend, integrity is the foundation that a successful life is built on. You can have talent, determination, and vision, but without integrity, you won’t reach your full potential. Too often, we’re letting small integrity compromises keep us from the big things God has in store. A person of integrity does the right thing and gives his best whether or…
*1.* “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” *2* “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” *3* “Show hospitality to one another…
Yes, you can be good to someone next to you. Yes, you have to be good to that fellow next to you! Why? God is taking you where you can’t go on your own. New levels of a blessed life, influence, and new opportunities are coming. He knows how to thank you. He knows how to open the windows of heaven. You can’t be good to somebody without God being good back to you. That’s just the way God is….
If there is no accommodation of secret, there is no way to show evidence of whatever happened behind the screen. Thank God for available rewards. Here it is: “So that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Matthew 6:4, AMPC). Friend, often, when we give ourselves to serve others, nobody sees it or even thanks us. But God sees everything. He’s keeping the records. Jesus says, “What you…
*1.* “God is setting the record straight: As for the king still sitting on David’s throne and all the people left in Jerusalem who didn’t go into exile with you, they’re facing bad times.” *2* “God-of-the-Angel-Armies says, ‘Watch this! Catastrophe is on the way: war, hunger, disease! They’re a barrel of rotten apples.” *3* “I’ll rid the country of them through war and hunger and disease. The whole world is going to hold its nose at the smell, shut its…
When you cultivate the habit of persistent prayers, God will surely keep the record straight! When your prayers go thus: “Father, thank You that You keep the records straight, you’ve seen every unfairness I’ve experienced and how it has impacted my life. Thank You that You know how to pay me back. I believe that what the enemy has meant for my harm is setting me up for new levels. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Indeed, God sees what’s unfair in…
