Posted by: | CommentsWhen was the last time you’ve allowed your dreams to fall along the wayside? When they didn’t come true, did you troubleshoot or did you allow them to become a thing of the pass?
Sometimes we don’t do enough troubleshooting when dealing with failed dreams. We make excuses for why they don’t come true and Read More→
25 Positive Affirmations – Take Control of Your Mind
Posted by: | CommentsA good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. – Luke 6:45 KJV
A wise man once said: “An idle mind is the devils workshop.” I believe this is true. I always say if you don’t fill your mind, then the devil will fill it for you. The enemy will try to convince you that you’re not good enough or that you’re not physically able to do something. He’ll even try to Read More→

ShareThe Difference Between God’s Will and Your Will For Your Life
Posted by: | CommentsSometimes, what we want for our life isn’t in God’s ultimate plan for our life. I talk a lot about fulfilling goals and aspirations that we have for our lives and I think it’s important that we understand that there is a difference between God’s will and your will for your life.
Many times we have aspirations, or things that we want to become or accomplish in our lives, and I believe that’s okay. God is open for us to come to Him and ask in His name for things that we would like to achieve in our life and it’s up to Him to allow that goal to come to pass in your life.
When we’re talking about God’s ultimate will for our life, we’re talking about being obedient to what God commands us to do in life. When it comes to God’s ultimate will, we don’t have a choice, we must be obedient.
I’m reminded of Moses, and the Burning Bush experience. God commanded that he go back to Egypt and deliver the Children of Egypt from Bondage. Moses questioned God and doubted himself. He told God that he was slow to speak. Read More→
ShareLet Your Haters Be Your Motivators
Posted by: | CommentsThey were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, (Romans 1:29 ESV)
There may come a time, if you haven’t already faced it, when you come across haters in life. The sad thing is, everybody that you make acquaintance with are not always going to be supportive of you.
I encourage you to stay motivated, regardless of the haters that you may face. Friend, it may help to know that when you have people hating on you or what you’re shooting for in life, it just means that you’re doing something good. When people hate on you, it also means that they don’t have confidence in themselves to do the things that you’ve done or accomplished in life.
Next time you face someone who looks down on you, or tries to convince you that it’s worthless to dream big and set goals, that is a time to pray on their behalf. Read More→
ShareThe Favor Of God Is Upon You
Posted by: | Comments“So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” (Matthew 20:16 NKJV)
The favor of the Lord is beyond comparison. There is no love out there that is like our God.
I was studying Matthew 20:1-16 and it describes the kingdom of heaven as a landowner who hired laborers for his vineyard. And the laborers entered into an agreement for a denarius a day.
After the agreement, the landowner sent the laborers into the vineyard. After the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace and sent them into the vineyard and told them whatever was right they will receive a denarius.
At the sixth, ninth and the eleventh hours, he went out into the marketplace and saw laborers standing idle and sent them into the vineyard also and told them whatever is right they will also receive a denarius.
At the end of the day, the landowner paid all of the laborers a denarius for the whole day’s work. However, the laborers Read More→
ShareHow to Change Your Negative Thoughts
Posted by: | CommentsAn affirmation is something that you repeat over and over to yourself whether it’s a good thought or a bad thought. As I’ve stated in previous articles, there is power in the thoughts that you think. Our thoughts are based on our habits and what we are preconditioned to think.
Maybe you were raised in a negative environment and your parents raised you to think that you would never amount to anything. Maybe they didn’t say it directly but their actions communicated that you weren’t worthy of achieving greatness in your life.
Friends, know that negative thoughts are almost directly connected to our emotions and the way we feel. When you wake up in the morning, start the day off with a positive prayer.
Talk to God and thank Him for simply waking you. You should be thankful that you do have the mind of Christ. No matter what the enemy brings your way, declare greatness and prosperity over yourself. Read More→
