(M)anaging time

(G)ain or self reliance.

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend! Set goals and pray about prioritizing them!

Believe by faith!

TOGETHER

When we work TOGETHER we (T)ell (O)ur (G)od (E)ssentially (T)hat (H)elping (E)ach-other (R)everances him for He calls us to bear with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Be encouraged in the Word of Ephesians 4:1-6
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

LOVE THINGS LESS AND PEOPLE MORE

Let not your good be evil spoken of. -Romans 14:16

Love more than the day before. Love things less and people like they owe you nothing in return. There's more gratification in loving those who don't love you back than to hate them in return. Today I pray that bitterness is replaced with compassion, anger with joy, and all negativity with love. Don't allow your good to be evil spoken of...sow love no matter what it looks like.

I conclude with the memory of a song I heard Ashley Jones sing Sunday "I pray we'll all be ready when he returns!

Learning to Lean on Jesus

Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. -Psalm 108:12

The whole world may say no or it's impossible but one yes from God is all you need.

Whatever He's promised you find comfort and peace in His bosom until manifestation is yours.

Stay focused, stand firm, believing by faith in the promises of Jesus!

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend.

Be Restored in the Word

Lead with courage, conviction, character, connection, and credibility not emotions. If you fail to replenish your inner-man, you will burn out. Be restored in the Word.

Read 1 Kings chapters 18-19 learn from Elijah's emotional expense and the consequences of his emotions [paranoia, hiding, exhaustion, self-pity, depression, and no fresh word from the Lord].

Analysis Always Precedes Action

Analysis always precedes action. (Maxwell Leadership Bible)

Yes you're being lead in a certain direction but have you done an analysis of where you're going before you move forward?

It's Rebuilding Time

Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work. -Nehemiah 2:17-18


Forget about all the shoulda, coulda, woulda's...it's rebuilding time. Every block of disappointment and brick of strongholds that's been pulled down in your life was broken to be stepping stones leading you to the ability to put up walls of reassurance, love, hope, strength, endurance, peace and a future full of promise in Him, the Great I Am. Have a wonderfully blessed weekend. Believe by faith and be renewed and restored in Christ!

Strategic Planning

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. -Ephesians 6:12

Stand and fight yes...just remember it's the good fight of faith you need to win. Some have been standing and fighting for quite a while and are now wondering how much longer. Perhaps it's time to put down the carnal weapon of self reliance and pick up the spiritual sword (the Word) and learn the strategy to wage war in the spirit.
