Lazy People Want Much, But Get Little, But The Desires Of The Diligent Are Fully Satisfied! (Proverbs13:4 AMP) Lazy Hands Bring Poverty, But Diligent Hands Bring Riches! (Proverbs 10:4) To get something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. ~ Author Unknown~ The word “diligence” means: hard work, trustworthy, determination, striving for excellence. The New Living Bible Translation puts it this way: “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper! In order to succeed we have to do more than we may want and more than we think we’re capable of. (Philippians 4:13) We can’t do whatever is easiest and still reach our goal, but we must continue to pray, press and position ourselves for victory. The will of God will never take us where the Grace of God will not protect us! (Luke 22:42) Something good will happen to you today! God’s Word To You : “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!” (Prov...

The Strength Of Those Who Wait With Hope In The LORD Will Be Renewed ! They will soar on wings like eagles! They will run and won't become weary! They will walk and won't grow tired! (Isaiah 40:31 MSG) Stick With It Until The End! You Won’t Be Sorry; You’ll Be Saved ! (Luke 21:19 MSG) When God makes us wait for something longer than we want to, He’s teaching us patience. Hebrews 10:36 teaches us that we need patience, so after we have done the will of God, we can receive what He has promised! Impatience only makes you and everybody around you miserable, but it won’t rush God. He works according to His own plan and timetable, but He does promise in due season we shall reap, if we don’t give up! (Galatians 6:9). “Due season” is God’s season, not ours. We may be in a hurry, but God isn’t. God takes time to do things right. You may not know what God is doing, but He does and He’s never late, but He usually isn’t early either. God takes every opportunity to develop in us the frui...

Seek The Kingdom Of God First Above All Else & Live Righteously ! God Will Give You Everything You Need ! (Matthew 6:33) God Will Generously Provide All You Need ! Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others! (2 Corinthians 9:8) Many seek riches, fortune and fame without first seeking ways to show their love and commitment to God. Riches (money) are not evil, but the love of it is the root of all kinds of evil. (1 Timothy 6:10a NIV) (1 Timothy 6:10b GW) also teaches us, some people who have set their hearts on getting rich have wandered away from the Christian faith and have caused themselves a lot of grief. My point is: As important as it is to prosper, it’s more important to have a personal relationship with God. Riches have limited satisfaction, but it is God's blessing that makes life rich and He adds no sorrow with it! (Proverbs 10:22) As children of God, we don’t worry about missing out on anything, because as we continue to...

By The Action Of His Power That Is At Work Within Us, God Is Able To Carry Out His Purpose And Do Superabundantly, Far Over And Above All That We Dare Ask Or Think Infinitely Beyond Our Highest Prayers, Desires, Thoughts, Hopes, Or Dreams ! (Ephesians 3:20 AMP) With God All Things Are Possible ! (Matthew 19:26) With God there is no limit to what you can do. There is no obstacle you can’t overcome. There is nothing and there will never be anyone or anything more powerful than our Lord! Christ invites us to pray believe and receive what we ask of Him! (1 John 5:14) He’s willing & He’s able! All glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : “If your faith is the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you!" (Matthew 17:20) Pray This Prayer With Me : Fath...

Focus On The Goal , Where God Is Beckoning You Forward—To Jesus. Keep Running And Don’t Turn Back ! (Philippians 3:13-14) What You Had In The Past Will Seem Small Compared With The Great Prosperity You’ll Have In The Future! (Job 8:7 GWT) As born again, blood bought, children of God, God Himself restores us and we become heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17) When He does, we can't help but praise Him for His miracle working power and His eagerness to deliver us from shame and regret. I challenge you to take this word of encouragement to heart today and open the door to greater blessings and rewards than you've ever experienced before! God’s Word To You : “I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior!...

Arm Yourself Daily ! Put On The Full Armor Of God, So You Will Be Able To Stand Up To Everything The Devil Throws Your Way! (Ephesians 6:10-11 MSG) The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Physical [Weapons Of Flesh And Blood], Rather, They Are Powerful Weapons From God ! (2 Corinthians 10:4) Be Prepared Christian Warriors! (Joel 3:10) Have your loins girt about with truth, the breastplate of righteousness; your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, take the shield of faith, so you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up, so that no one falls behind or drops out. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over you will be the one shouting and still standing! (Ephesians 6:10-18 MSG)   God’s Word To You : "I am your God! I will st...

All Things Work Together And Are Fitting Into A Plan For Good To And For Those Who Love God And Are Called According To His Design And Purpose ! (Romans 8:28 Amp) A Good Result Is Going To Happen For You! Never Lose Hope It Will Bring You A Great Reward! (Hebrews 10:3) When we focus on God’s promises and His plans we keep the enemy from winning victory in our lives. The enemy wants to takes us down the slippery slope of disbelief which leads to discouragement, which leads to defeat, which leads to hopelessness and unhappiness. Don’t let the enemy drain you of your joy and hope, because that’s where your greatest strength is. (Nehemiah 8:10) God is bigger, God is able and He brings victory as we allow Him to fight for us! God’s Word To You: “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray this prayer with me: Father I thank You even in the midst of affli...
