BE DILIGENT & PERSISTENT
"Lip Service" doesn't do anything for God or accomplish anything in our lives. So, when we pray about the same thing over & over again, we need to be careful not to fall into meaningless repetition. Instead, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in a fresh way, even when we are addressing a subject which we have prayed for, for a long time. It will lead us to be diligent & persistent about a matter. But be mindful, there is a difference between repetition & Spirit-lead persistence.
Words spoken in prayer that are not connected to our hearts are words without power. When we pray we should focus & concentrate on what we are saying. We should never merely verbalize things we have "memorized", while our hearts are far from God. "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective". (James 5:16)
NOTE:Our words mirror whats in our mind & hearts,if we allow God to cleanse us,then our actions will reflect that a glorious transformation has taken place in us..

SELF-CONTROL
Paul reminds us that we go into strict training "to win a crown that will last forever." (1Cor.9:25). Are you ready to go all out for the kingdom of God? Are you willing to bring your life, your finances, & EVERY area of your life under self-control so you might win for the glory of God? Winning comes at a price. Part of that cost for the Christian is the discipline of self-control!
Note:Man will rise no higher than his conception of truth & holiness.. If his mind is never exalted above humanity to infinite wisdom,then he will continue to sink !

FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS !
We as humans are always quick to say that we''love'' God or that we ''love''one another,but what is''love''? ''LOVE'' is doing what is best and if you need an example then look to the cross,for Jesus showed us ''true love'' not in words but in actions! Look at God,the way He treats us cant be considered nothing but ''love''. Which one of you is willing to sacrifice your child to save a underserving world?? We all fall,but if you have lost your way,and i mean if your actions are showing that you dont love Jesus,then dont try to deny it,but confess it and fall back inlove with Jesus. If you dont know how,then heres some good advice (Just think back to when you first fell inlove with Jesus and begin to re-trace your steps,start over and thats how you will find your way,because that was the time when you were most humble'at the beginning')Falling inlove with Jesus is so awesome! How many other people do you know that will give up their life for you? Ive known only 1- JESUS CHRIST! Amen :-)

UPS AND DOWNS
Most of us agree that life has its ups and downs. King Solomon believed this and it reflected on his responses to fluctuating circumstances. In Ecclesiates he wrote ''To everything there is a season,a time for every purpose under heaven...a time to weep,and a time to laugh;a time to mourn,and a time to dance.Ecclesiastes3:1-4''. We do a disservice to ourselves and others when we portray the Christian life as peaceful and happy all the time. Instead the bible portrays the believers life as consisting of seasons of ups and downs. What season are you in? Each season should motivate us to seek the Lord and trust Him in evety way. Every season needs faith to get us through it all. Dear Lord help us to learn to trust you in all that we go through in life. We know you allow us to go through good and bad times to help us grow and we ask that in this process that we grow stronger that we may be able to carry out your will for your purpose in Jesus name we pray,Amen!!
Have a blessed day!

HEAVY BURDENS
When life seems like a catastrophe and nothing is going right,Jesus isnt moved by troubles. He can handle anything,and that is why He said all that is heavy laden come unto me''Mathew11:28''. Are we worn out with problems? Jesus is our only solution. Approaching the Lord in prayer allows us to give all of our burdens to Him so that He can substain us. TODAY ASK HIM TO HELP YOU WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO.HE WILL SUPPLY REST FOR YOUR SOUL. PRAYER IS THE PLACE WHERE ALL OF YOUR BURDENS CHANGE SHOULDERS. FROM YOUR SHOULDER TO GODS. Have a blessed day.

P-ray U-ntil S-omething H-appens Know that God is willing and able to perform above and exceedingly anything that you ask for and desire,but the question is,how far will you go to receive His promises? We as humans have perfected the art of asking for things,but we have so neglected the art of doing what were asked to do by God! So in all your asking,ask for the strength and the ability to do the will of God for your life and watch God take care of all your needs. So while your pushing,push yourself to line up with God and His Word and know in your heart that God is God and that all will be accomplished when you line up and get on course!!! So P.U.S.H !

When we were young,we all had a hero. The problem is,our desire to be like them blocked our satisfaction with who God made us to be. When we realized we couldnt play the hero,we got discouraged to the point of not finishing anything that we started. Today kids still idlize heros. They grow up unhappy because there not perfect. But GOD made us beautiful just the way we are. We are made to fill a purpose that only we could fill. We are made wonderful. God made us into who he wants us to be. Dear God we are Yours and you made us wonderful. Thank you God for creating us beautiful masterpieces. In Jesus Holy name,Amen!! (SO IF YOU WANT TO LOOK UP TO OR IDLIZE SOMEONE,DONT LOOK UP TO THESE SUPERFICIAL MOVIE STARS AND SINGERS,MONEY MOUGALS AND JUST PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD, BUT LOOK UP TO JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE HE IS A REAL HERO)!!!!!!!
Have a blessed day.
