Thank the Lord
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.- Ps 37:4
Don't forget to thank Him today for the once impossible things that now you look back at in amazement. God can change things.
This is how we Overcome
-"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" -Phil 4:13
-"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Rom 8:31
- "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." - 1 John 4:4
Make these confessions today:
- I am a child of El Shaddai and he has made me more than a conqueror.
- I am who God says I am. I am annointed to live. I am annointed to prosper.
- The Word of my Father dwells richly within me and brings forth fruit unto a bountiful harvest.
- I hear God's Word, I do God's Word, and I reap the benefits of God's Word.
- I have all sufficiency in all things, and I abound to every good work.
- God is working it out on my behalf.
- I have taken the full armour of God and my faith quenches ALL of the fiery darts of the enemy.
It's only a tool
"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" 1 Tim 6:10
"For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel" Phillipians 2:21-22
- Timothy wrote about the love of money, and the love of riches. He said that
some coveted and erred from the faith, not all. In Phil 2, Paul describes Timothy as one who does not seek his own, or one that is not selfish. Money is not a bad thing, if it is... then why do we all work for it? It's funny that money becomes bad when it is in the same sentence with God. When we begin to see money as nothing but a tool, we will see that God want's us to have plenty of it to spread around. How do missionaries stay in the field? Money. How do we put gas in our cars? Money. It took money back in the days of Paul, and it takes money now.
-"Philarguria" is the the greek word for "love of money". It's root word meant to associate with, or be friends with. When your identity is based on money or material things, you're in big trouble.
- The Phillipian church was the only church that supported Paul. In Phillipians 4:19, the Word of the Lord came to them through Paul when he said "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Happy Monday
"Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
Which, having no captain,Overseer or ruler,
Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.
How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little
slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep--
So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man."
- Ecclesiastes 6:6-11
Happy Monday! Back to work!
