Seek The Kingdom Of God First Above All Else & Live Righteously! God Will Give You Everything You Need ! (Matthew 6:33) As important as it is to prosper, what’s most important is our soul prospering and having a personal relationship with God. (3 John 1:2) Most certainly, the Lord wants to open every window of Heaven and pour out a blessing, both spiritual and natural! (Malachi 3:10) When we put God and His kingdom first, our lives find the proper balance and we never have to worry about missing out on anything good. I encourage you to let Jesus Christ be at the forefront of your thoughts and the guide of your footsteps. Everything else will fall right in place—He promises! (Jeremiah 29:11) “I will bless you! I will make your name great and you will be a blessing to others!” (Genesis 12:2) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, as I make Your kingdom and Your righteousness my priority daily, I thank You for Your continual blessings. I choose to put You first, I surrender all...

The Righteous Person Faces Many Troubles, But The LORD Comes To The Rescue Each Time! (Psalm 34:19 GWT) Whether you’re experiencing the effects of this troubled economy, trouble on your job, trouble in your home or maybe trouble in your body, God promises to come to your rescue every time. Whatever the difficulty, you can fill in the blank and God will respond without failure! (Deuteronomy 7:9) God loves you and He cares for you, you’ll get through this, your chapter does not end here. I encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus and press forward—God has greater for your future! (Jeremiah 29:11) “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will not leave you until I have done all I have promised you!" (Genesis 28:15) ~ God Pray this prayer with me: Father, I thank You for being an omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (ever-present) and an omnipotent (all-powerful) God! I thank You for the past, present and future victory You have preordained for me for Your glory!...

Greater The Test—Greater The Testimony! “Be very happy when you are tested in different ways, knowing that the testing of your faith develops perseverance! Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing!” (James 1:2-4) Perseverance means no matter what's going on, be persistent, keep at it, keep trying, stick with it and never give up! I encourage you, even if you have to put up with all types of aggravation and difficulty for a moment, to take this word from 1 Peter 1:6-7 MSG to heart: “Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold that God will have on display as evidence of His Victory!” “Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today!” "Be still, and know that I am God!” (Exodus 14:13, Psalm 46:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, thank You for Your strength and power ...

When difficulties and impossibilities become overwhelming, Romans 8:28 gives encouragement to every believer to know—God is still able to reverse, restore, revive and renew! Romans 8:28 is not some little blueprint God in His infinite wisdom had in mind for our life. The ultimate good is God’s blueprint for the universe and our purpose in it. Being an active participant of God’s purposes means we understand our life is not about us. It’s about God’s glory and at the very same time, He works it out for my good and your good! “We know that we who love God, for those who are called according to His purpose—all things will work together for good.” I encourage you expect it, believe it and wait for it—it will work together for your good! “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for!” (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for every blessing of grace You have given to me...

God Is Able To Do Exceeding Abundantly Above All That You Can Ask Or Think ! (Ephesians 3:20) Whether you’re new to Christianity or a seasoned Christian and you are rebuilding your life, your career, your ministry or business—do not despise the days of humble, small and seemingly insignificant beginnings. (Zechariah 4:10) Jesus has given us the power to call into existence the things that do not exist, according to His power that is at work within us! (Romans 4:17, Ephesians 3:20) I encourage you acknowledge and include Jesus in everything you do and allow His provision of favor, wisdom and power to multiply and grow the little things in your hands. God's word promises that you will see His amazing handiwork in your life, so keep working for His Kingdom and keep believing— Greater Is Coming! (Ephesians 2:10) “What you have believed will be done for you!” (Matthew 9:29 GWT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I ask for Your leading and guidance in everything I do, so I may pleas...

In the middle of an up and down economy, job insecurity, relationship difficulties, times when situations can rapidly change from bad to worse, it’s easy to become worried and say, “How can something good come out of this?” (Romans 8:28) I encourage you my sister and my brother, as Jesus encouraged the disciples: “Stop looking at all that threatens you and focus on God. Do not look for a way out of difficulty and challenge, but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and God will give you everything you need!” (Matthew 6:33) Hope for the best! (Jeremiah 29:11) Before you can expect the best, you must first focus on the Lord and His power, not the size of the challenge or the resources you do or don’t have. Whether it’s peace, comfort, healing, a job or a companion, God Will Fully Supply Your Every Need! (Philippians 4:19 NIV) “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for!” (Jeremiah 29:11) ...

Though we may not always understand God's ways, we should seek to acknowledge Him and take comfort in knowing God Is Faithful! (Matthew 6:32-34, Proverbs 3:6) Not only is God faithful, but His thoughts concerning us are peaceful and His will for us is for our good! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) Although His anger is for a moment and whom God loves He disciplines—His favor lasts a lifetime! (Hebrews 12:6, Psalm 30:5) Waiting on God, while trusting in God teaches us and matures us to the point where we seek Him more and discover absolutely nothing is too hard for God! (Jeremiah 32:27) I encourage you to hold on to God’s promises, God sees the entire picture, God cares about what’s going on in your life, most importantly—God loves you more than you can imagine! (Romans 5:8-9) “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go… I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you!” (Genesis 28:15) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, as I pray and meditate on Y...
