Lazy

Are you lazy or do you have lazy people around you? Do you blame everyone else for you not having anything?

Being lazy will make you miss out on things and it’s nobody’s fault but your own. A lazy person doesn’t rise to the top, a lazy person doesn’t work with the spirit of excellence, a lazy person is always looking for a handout.

Some people pray to God for a job but won’t fill out the application; they’re lazy. Some people want to eat but won’t fix themselves no food; they’re lazy. Some people want you to pray for them but they won’t pray for themselves; either they’re lazy or don’t know how. Some people say, they would go to church but no one has invited them; they’re lazy.

If you have a goal in mind and you are trying to reach that goal, make sure, you stay clear of lazy people.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Think For Yourself

How much advice do you really take from other people? Do you ever rely on your on thoughts?

God has given each of us a brain and we are more than capable of thinking for ourselves. However, we always turn to that friend that says; if I were you.

It’s time we tell our friends that they are not us and that we are more than capable of making a decision on our own.

It’s time that we get back to using the brain that God has given us, and let our friends keep their advice to themselves.

Exercise

Many of us exercise to stay fit and not gain weight. We run, walk, bike, swim, lift weights etc…
We set our alarms, we get workout partners and we stay committed to our routine.

I wonder, do we exercise our faith the same way. Do we read, study and meditate on the word daily? Do we have prayer partners to keep us on track? Do we incorporate fasting? How much weight has our faith lost?

Our faith, as well as our bodies need exercise. It does us no good to be physically fit and not be spiritually fit. The good thing about becoming spiritually fit, is you can start anytime, anywhere and anyplace.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Navigating

Have you ever tried to use your GPS and it wouldn’t pick up a signal? Or perhaps, maybe you were driving faster than the directions popped up on the screen. Did it frustrate you or make you want to scream? Did you say, this stupid phone; I need a new phone service?

Have you ever asked Jesus to be your GPS? While living in this foreign country, the only GPS I can rely on is Jesus. I can’t read the language, I only know a few words, and when I say those words, the natives think I speak their language fluently. I’ve tried to rely on my phones GPS only to be even more lost.

I’ve discovered, if Jesus isn’t leading the way, I’m lost. It doesn’t matter how good I look, how eloquent I speak, how popular I am, if Jesus is not a part of the systems navigation everything is in vain.

Let Jesus lead and guide you today. No matter how dark your road may be, I guarantee, he will lead you to the light and clear up your vision.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Fasting Time

Has God called you to a fast but you don’t want to starve yourself? Are you thinking about that company function or that party you want to attend, and fasting will get in the way of that?

Do you know that when we don’t fast we eat ourselves right out of our blessings. How many blessings have we devoured in the form of chicken, potato salad, mac&cheese, etc…

When you fast you’re saying God I want more of thee and less of me. You are saying I value our relationship more than I value food. Don’t stop your blessing because your are hungry.

Jentezen Franklin wrote a book on fasting and he brought out the point how Adam and Eve literally ate themselves out of house, home and the presence of God.

So, ask yourself, is that piece of chicken worth losing it all? If not, then, fast and pray. If so, don’t stop at one piece eat until you’re full.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

What Now

Do you ever feel like God keeps telling you to do things that you’re really not comfortable with? Or, after you complete one task he asks you to do another one right away? Have you ever told God what now or at least felt that way?

God won’t put more on you than you can bear. If you are having the feelings of what now; it’s because, God knows what he placed inside of you and he’s trying to bring it out of you. The problem is, you despise the what now and you give up before the gift, the potential, and the talent are manifested.

Instead of saying what now; say, yes Lord here I am you can use me.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Don’t Settle

How many of us are satisfied with where we’re at in life? How many of us are ok with just getting by?

Who told us that it was alright to settle? When did we get comfortable with settling?

We got the job but let’s not settle being the lowest on the food chain.

We are save but let’s not settle for not being used by God.

When we settle, we are telling ourselves that we don’t want anymore out of life; and that we don’t expect anymore out of life.

The bible tells us to be content; it doesn’t tell us to settle.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It Doesn’t Apply To Me

When sermons are preached and we hear them, why do we think it applies to our neighbors and family members but it doesn’t apply to us?

Why do we always see everything wrong with everyone else, but it doesn’t apply to us?

We have a lot of nerve going around thinking we are without sin and thinking we have it all together. News flash! We don’t have it going on the way we think we do and if we asked God how does he see us, he may just say, we are a stink in his nostrils.

So, before we go looking at what applies to others; let’s get real with ourselves, and say yes The Word applies to me first.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Finally

When things start going right and lining up the way they should go, do you ever feel like, finally? Finally, things are going my way, finally, I don’t have to deal with that.

We all have finally moments and sometimes it seems like it takes finally forever to get here; then, it’s gone so quickly and we’re looking for our next finally.

When your finally moment presents itself, enjoy it! You’ve waited a long time to see it. Don’t let anyone rush the moment for you because as long as you live, something else will come along to knock finally out of the way and new trial in the way. It may take finally even longer to come back around.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Get Back Up

So what you’ve fallen and you’ve sinned; get back up. So what, people are talking about you and your sins; get back up.

God said he’s married to the backslider. So as long as you have breath in your body, repent, shake the dust off and get back up. Jesus died for you just like he died for the people talking about you.

Don’t allow people to hold you down; they have unconfessed and unexposed sins too.

No matter what happens in life; when you fall, get back up and start again.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
