Take Bold Steps of Faith!
Posted by: | Comments
The scripture says that every person has been given a measure of faith. Faith is much like confidence in many ways. When you walk from point A to B, unless you have a handicap, you don’t have to worry about making it to your destination. You don’t stress and toil over the situation. You don’t have to over think it. You simply have confidence in knowing that all you have to do is put one foot in front of the other and before long you’ve arrived at your destination.
Faith is the same way. It’s putting confidence in Christ. It’s taking bold steps of faith in other areas of your life.
God doesn’t want you to worry. He doesn’t want you to stress in toil. He doesn’t want you to toss and turn in the midnight hour. No, He simply wants you to take confident steps of faith.
Every step you take is a seed that you’re sowing toward your destination. You may not see the end. You may not Read More→
Make It Bigger and Better!
Posted by: | Comments
The Lord has found favor in you. He has entrusted you with talents, gifts and abilities. It’s our duty to take the gifts that the Lord has given us and put it to good use. We have to make them bigger and better.
It’s easy to listen to the voice of defeat. It’s easy to think, “I don’t have the skills.” “I wasn’t born with any talent or abilities,” but the truth is you have something deep on the inside.
When God favored you, He placed seeds of greatness into you. Now it’s up to you to take these seeds and water them and put them to work for you. Be faithful over what the Lord has given you.
Remember, to whom much is given, much is required. When God gave you the talents, He expected you to put them to work. He doesn’t want you to put the seeds in the ground and let them wither and die. No, He wants you to make it bigger and better!
If you’re going to come into your God-given destiny, you’re going to have to take time and further your talents. In doing so, you’ll earn a return off your investment. Invest more time into your abilities. Invest in education. Invest in practicing and furthering your skills.
For instance, if you have a passion for the Arts- be it music, performance, dance or entertainment, don’t settle for mediocrity. Don’t settle with a just get by Read More→
ShareIt’s Not a Matter of Fact , It’s a Matter of Faith
Posted by: | Comments
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the facts of life. From time to time we’re told, this is will never work. That is impossible. This can’t be done. That is unachievable. But the fact of the matter is when you take a step out on faith, you have the power of the almighty God backing you up.
The scripture says with man it’s impossible, but with God all things are possible. When you live by the facts, you’re limiting God. Don’t put God in a box. No, dare to take a step out on faith and watch miraculous things happen.
I once heard a wise person once say, “most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.”
Here’s the thing, when you take bold steps of faith, you’ll find that the odds are against you. Scientists may tell you that you’re defying all the laws of nature. Doctors may give you a report based on facts. Your friends may even advise you against it. But Read More→

Let me encourage you today, get a vision for the great things that God has in store for you. See through your eyes of faith.
The promises of God may not be tangible yet. You may not experience signs and wonders of the greatness that He has in store for you, but get a vision for it. See through the supernatural picture frame
Remember, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. In the supernatural, everything that God has ever promised is already yours. Now all you have to do is align your vision with the spiritual promises that are already in store.
If you’re going to come into the promises of God you’re going to have to look through your eyes of faith. See yourself healthy, prosperous and whole. Imagine the Read More→

Do you have talents and abilities that are lying dormant? Maybe you’ve been waiting on the right moment to do what you’ve deemed impossible.
God wants you to know that you are qualified. He gave you all the tools you need to do the impossible. All you need to do is ignite the spark.
For some, all it takes is a spark. All it takes is a nudge in the right direction. Well, let me encourage you today. Find that spark that will launch you into your God-given destiny.
If you’re going to fulfill your divine assignment, you’re going to have to fan the flame. Stir up the gifts that are already inside you.

No need to wait until you have the right qualifications. Your resume doesn’t validate you. You have a spark on the inside, take a leap of faith. Let your resume catch up with you. In the Kingdom of God, you don’t need qualifications. You don’t need the Read More→
SharePress Through in Faith

“She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.” – Mark 5:27
There was a woman in the Bible who had an issue of blood. The scripture says she suffered for many years under the hand of physicians. She spent all her money, and she still didn’t get any better. In fact, she got worse.
One day she heard Jesus was passing through the crowd and she came up behind him. She touched his garment. She knew that in doing so, she would be made whole. The scripture goes on to say, that when she touched his robe, she felt her body being immediately healed of her affliction.
This woman understood a principle. She understood that Jesus responds when we press through in faith. Here’s the thing, she was just one person in the crowd who was pressing Jesus. I’d imagine her complaint was, “I’m in the midst of all these people.” “I’ll never get a chance.” “What are the chances that I could be one of the ones to press through and be made whole.” But she defied all odds and pressed through in faith.
After twelve long years suffering this affliction, I’d imagine she was without hope. She spent her last dime. She was probably ready to throw in the towel. But she pressed.
Just like this woman, our gracious Father responds when we press Him in times of trouble. Maybe there’s an area in your life that needs to be made whole. Maybe you’ve struggled, toiled and suffered, yet still to no avail. Like this woman, maybe you’ve Read More→
ShareHave A Right Now Faith!

“In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” – James 2:17
Our God is moved when we take leaps of faith. All it takes is mustard seed faith and we can move mountains.
But too often, we find ourselves looking for the end result in the beginning. Day after day we’re making the wrong declarations. Declarations such as: “I’ll give more to charity once my finances get in order.” “I’ll wash my car, when God provides me with a brand new one.” “I’ll lose weight and get in shape once the vacation to the beach is booked.”
But you need to know that the Lord is looking for you to have a right now faith. That means you have to put your faith out there regardless of the conditions around you.
Remember, without faith it’s impossible to please the Lord. One of the reasons you’re not getting your breakthrough is because you’re not exercising your faith. In order for you to come into your season of abundance and increase, you must sow some seeds of faith.
The good news is all you need is a mustard seed faith. The scripture says Read More→
SharePlant Good Seeds!

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” – Galatians 6:7
Every decision you make, is a seed you’re planting in the ground. You’re either planting good seeds or bad seeds. Even the thoughts that you choose to entertain, are seeds that you’re sowing.
When you wake up in the morning with a heart full of gratitude and thanksgiving, you’re planting a good seed for the entire day. You’re showing the almighty God that despite of the way things seems, you’re grateful for the few things. When you’re grateful for the little things, God will inturn reward you and make you ruler over many things.
When you choose to entertain thoughts that are virtuous, honorable and of a good report, you’re planting a seed for peace, wholeness and joy. On the contrary, when you choose to meditate on things that are depressing, downcast and solemn, you’re planting dark seeds. You’re putting seeds of doom and gloom into the ground.
Remember, whatever you sow is what you’ll reap. If you’re putting seeds of faith into the ground, you’ll reap a harvest of manifestation. If you plant seeds of Read More→

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. – Luke 2:10
The Bible is full of “fear nots.” God made it clear in His word that He wants us to live an abundant life full of faith, courage, hope and reassurance.
God doesn’t want you to go through your Christmas season with fears, doubts, and negative emotions. No, He wants you to live in comfort and peace this joyous time of year.
In the natural, we all have our doubts and fears. These are unfortunate character traits that we all develop over the course of life. But because of the birth of Christ, the old has passed away. We’ve been made anew. Therefore, we no longer have to Read More→
SharePart of the Struggle
Posted by: | CommentsThe hardest part about making great achievements is taking the first step. When you wake up in the morning, the hardest thing to do is set foot out of bed. Once you’re up and out of the bed, you’re halfway along the journey to starting your day.
In the same way, faith is all about taking the first step. Once you put your faith into action, God goes to work on your behalf in many ways.
.The hardest struggle is taking that first step. But if you’ll put in the effort and take one step, God will take two.
They say the hardest part about exercise is going to the gym. Once you’re there, you have everything at your disposal. You have access to all the equipment and access to the right people. But as long as you’re sitting at home on the couch, you’ll remain in the same place physically. You’ll be one step away from reaching your goal and your full potential.
I dare you to exercise your faith today. What are those lost dreams that you’ve failed to take that one step? What area of your life are you lacking in that one step is all that’s required?
If you’ll take a leap of faith, God will go to work behind the scenes and perform miraculous miracles! He’ll show you those hidden abilities, talents, and gifts which Read More→
