STAY CONNECTED, AND BE SUCCESSFUL

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 

John 15:4 (NKJV)

God wants you abundantly blessed and fruitful in every way. If you want to be fruitful and prosper in your life’s assignment, you need to stay deeply connected with the Lord. Apart from Him and His ways of doing things, you will only be able to reach a certain level of success. Abide in Him, and He can multiply the fruit of your labor.

YOU BELONG TO GOD

Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Psalm 100:3 (NIV)

You belong to Him! The Bible says that you are in the palm of His hands, and no one can remove you from His presence. Jesus said that the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep. As a Shepherd who is willing to give His life for those He cares for, He will also lead you to a place of safety and provision.

GET SOMEONE TO AGREE WITH YOU

Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:19 (NKJV)

A victorious Christian who overcomes in this life has prayer as part of his lifestyle. Prayer is your lifeline to the throne of God. The prayer of agreement is having someone agree with you in your prayers. Your prayers become more powerful as the both of you release your faith to change your situations.

REAL WISDOM

And he who wins souls in wise.

Proverbs 11:30 (NKJV)

As a Christian, our nature is to win others to Christ. Those who win souls are wise. They are wise in the way they live and conduct themselves knowing that their lifestyle is an open epistle (letter) for all to read as a witness and testimony for Christ. A soul winner constantly relies on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and lives his life on purpose, not aimlessly. A Christian is always looking for an opportunity to share his faith!

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV)

Jesus never changes! The miracles you read in the Bible, He is still doing today, all over the world. He is still a healing Jesus! He is still a saving Jesus! He is still the miracle working Jesus! He is still the providing Jesus! He will not fail you! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What He did before, He can do again!

BE STRONG AND STAND FIRM

The people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]. 

Daniel 11:32 (AMP)

God wants you strong and standing firm in your faith! He has a plan and a future for you. He wants you to fulfill your dream and the calling He has placed on your life. You can’t live the dream life in your own strength. Seek His presence, and desire to know HIm intimately so that God’s power can flow through you.

POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND

For God has not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

Fear is not from God. Fear comes from your enemy who has no authority over you. Satan uses fear to stop you from obeying God and stepping out in faith. He knows that your breakthrough comes by stepping out in faith. He knows that for you to get your miracles, you need to launch your faith in His Word. That is why God has give you power, love, and a sound mind, so you can receive everything the Lord has for you.

GET IN ON THE SECRET

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV)

God wants to fellowship with you so he can make known to you great and mighty things. We are often looking for a new idea for our business or a better strategy to execute our plans. We search for the secret ways on how to influence people and close the sale. The secret things belong to the Lord, and He wants to reveal them to you so you can fulfill your destiny.

BE COURAGEOUS, AND LET GOD FIGHT YOUR BATTLES

⁷ “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him. ⁸ With him is an arm of flesh; but with usis the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

2 Chronicles 32:7-8 (NKJV)

The Word of the Lord is true for you just as in the days of King Hezekiah. Satan may have planned his attack upon your life but be encouraged, there are more with you than those against you! It is the Lord your God who goes out before you to fight your battles! So rejoice in the Lord your God for it is He who gives you the victory!

CULTIVATE A NATURE TO SERVE

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. 

Mark 10:45 (NKJV)

The nature of our Lord is to serve. He served while He was walking the earth. He served by ministering to the sick and teaching the poor. He served by praying for others and delivering those who were possessed. In like manner it is in our nature to serve. When we serve others, we follow in the footsteps of the greatest servant of all, Jesus.

NEVER DISCOUNT THE POWER OF THE WORD

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV)

God has equipped you for every good work through His Word. You don’t have to feel inadequate any longer. Everything you need to equip yourself is found in the scriptures. The Word will have you thinking right. It will give you the right perspective. It can change your attitude and point you in the right direction. Don’t discount the power of the Word!

NURTURE AN APPETITE FOR THE WORD OF GOD

But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. 

Psalm 1:2 (AMP)

The Psalmist understood the importance of delighting in and desiring the Word of God if one is to become fruitful and prosperous in this life. God doesn’t show any favoritism to anyone. His Word will work for you as it did for others. If you want to succeed in life and become fruitful in your ways, habitually meditate upon the Word. It will work for you.

THERE IS A REST IN FAITH

It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don’t you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?

Psalm 127:2 (TMB)

There is a rest in faith. Too often we try to accomplish things in our own abilities and strength. We take things on without acknowledging our God and inviting Him into our lives. We end up being “worry warts” and become irritable to those around us. Allow God into your daily decisions and responsibilities, cast all your cares upon Him and He will give you rest. He will refresh you and energize you. He enjoys giving your rest.

Visible Faith

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

Mark 2:5 (NKJV)

Four friends lowered the paralytic through the roof of a house so that their friend could get to Jesus, and He saw their faith. Faith moves the hand of God. The paralytic was forgiven of his sins and made completely whole and he walked out of the house in his own strength. Do you need a miracle today? Show God your faith by acting on and believing His Word concerning your situation. Press on through for your miracle is on the other side of your obedience!

Breakthrough is Right Around the Corner

For the eyes of The Lord are upon the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), and His ears are attentive to their prayer. 1Peter 3:12 (AMP)

God listens to your prayers! He hears the prayers of those who made Jesus their Lord. Keep praying and believing in faith for His promises to be manifested in your life. You are never out of His sight and out of His reach. So keep pressing forward because your breakthrough is right around the corner!

Giving, the Lifestyle of Blessing

And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Acts 20:35 (NKJV)

God is the source of every blessing! He is our Endless Provider, and He meets our every need. It’s wonderful to receive His blessings into our lives, but Jesus said there is a greater blessing than receiving. It is more blessed to give! When you give, you will receive a greater blessing upon your life. Make giving your lifestyle and you will experience a life with greater blessings!

Perfection

I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:12-14 NLT

Paul says that his goal is to know Christ, to be like Christ, and to be all Christ has in mind for him. This goal absorbs all of Paul's energy. This is a helpful example for us. We should not let anything take our eyes off our goal-knowing Christ. With the single-mindedness of an athlete in training, we must lay aside everything harmful and forsake anything that may distract us from being effective Christians. What is holding you back?

Reflect On The Word Of GOD

Reflect on hat I am saying, for The Lord will give you insight into all this.  2 Timothy 2:7 (NIV)

The Lord wants to reveal His heart through His Word to you. He wants you to receive insight and revelation regarding what His Word says about every situation you are facing. God has an answer for every problem. But to receive His answer you need to reflect on His Word. God wants you to have the necessary insight about His Word for every problem you face so that you can come out victorious in all of your ways.
