Stop Limiting Yorself When God Is Trying To Bless You

In this spiritual journey, I want to share with you a few lessons about not limiting yourself so God can bless you. The first lesson is when you listen to the advice of people who don't trust in the power of God, you'll fall into the trap of placing limits on yourself. Simply put - associate and listen to those who believe and have witnessed God's power. They will be the ones who'll encourage you. The second lesson is speak to yourself words of empowerment so you can see God's power manifested in your life. Words have meaning and it's important that the words you speak are significant and powerful.

The writer of Hebrews penned the words, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." Please don't miss this last lesson. It takes having faith in God for yourself to witness His blessings upon your life. Here's your shout. Faith opens doors and fear blocks blessings. Here's another shout for you. Faith signifies to God you're ready to receive what He has for you and fear keeps you lazy and procrastinating. I implore you on this day and every day to stop placing limits on yourself because God is ready to bless you. Now what are you going to do?

Coming Out On Top

The enemy made a tragic mistake because he didn't kill you last night. Let me say it this way. The enemy thought you were going to lose your mind, but you're reading this message because God's in control. That's right; the moment the enemy tried to put a period on your life, on your situation, and on your hope, God stepped in and erased the period and added a comma. Why? Because your life ain't over. Here's the Sinclair remix. You're too anointed to be held back. Now if you receive that in your spirit, I double dare you to break out in a praise.     

The Bible says, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." Please don't miss this. The calling on your life is so AWESOME that the enemy has put you on his hit list. But God has your back. Simply put - the enemy will never win because the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ assures you that you are victorious. Go ahead and get your shout on. Go ahead and lift up holy hands unto God.  Go ahead and preach to yourself the words - 'With God, all things are possible.' Remember, you're coming out on top.       


Scripture for the Day:
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." (1 John 4:7 -NKJV)

Liking and Loving Yourself

On Thursday, February 14th, many people will be celebrating Valentine's Day. Flowers, candies, and gifts will be exchanged between couples. For many who are not in a relationship, they'll either chill by themselves wondering why they're not hooked up or begin feeling depressed. Well, I'm here to let you know, when you have a healthy self-esteem and you love yourself, you don't trip on getting gifts from people and you don't trip on being alone because you love yourself. In a real sense, loving yourself and liking yourself will make you feel good about yourself.  Let me say it this way. When you feel good about you, you don't let days make you or break you.

While Jesus was having a teachable moment with His followers, He deposited these words, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Please don't miss this. When you love God, you learn to love yourself. Without loving God, you can't love. Wait a minute. The text says, 'love  your neighbor as yourself.' Simply put - you can't love others without loving you. As I close this message, I want you to work on you. Build your self-esteem. Love yourself like crazy. Don't worry about what happens on Valentine's Day because you have the greatest love - God and the love of yourself.

Coming Out of Your Storm

Everyone will go through a storm in their life. I don't care who you are or how holy you claim to be, you'll go through something that will test your faith and question your commitment to God. Let me say it this way. The closer you walk with God, the more attacks you'll face. Why? Because the enemy wants to destroy you. But the good news is that you have victory through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through His life and Spirit, you can make it through any storm.

Refuse To Settle For Settling

Breaking free from people and things who are unproductive and negative is necessary, if you want to blow up. Let me say it this way.  When you make up your mind that you refuse to be used and abused, you'll seek out only the best. That's right; a decision to seek out the best will position you to receive the best. Why settle for settling? Unfortunately, living in a 'less than state' and receiving 'less than' has a way of making you think you'll never receive the best. But in my preacher's voice, 'the devil is a liar.' You deserve the best because you're worth it.

The apostle Paul wrote to the people of Rome these words, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Please don't miss this. Desiring the best means you desire the best in everything - mind, body, and soul. Never let anyone convince you otherwise. Don't wait to desire the best. Desire it now.


Scripture for the Day: "Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." (Romans 12:9 -NKJV)

Stop Making Things So Complicated

Making things complicated when it should be easy keeps many people up at night. Let me say it this way. When using common sense gets pushed aside, you'll find yourself over-analyzing and over-thinking many things. Use your mind, but always remember God has blessed you with common sense. This point applies to jobs, school, spirituality, and relationships. Yes, you'll face some moments when faith will have to lead you, but there'll be moments when 'good ole' common sense is needed.
While having a teachable moment with His disciples, Jesus said, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Please don't miss this. When you submit to the teachings of Jesus, you'll know what to do and what not to do. You'll be in relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You'll walk by faith. You'll use common sense. And you won't stop yourself from getting what God has for you.
