It’s important that as we see the day of our Lord’s return approaching, we keep our eyes and hearts fixed upward. We have the promise of God’s PERFECT peace in the face of any circumstance we may face. Our identity is IN Christ (1 Peter 2:9, Philippians 3:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17) and just as He has overcome the world, so have we! Just as He is victorious, so are we! The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and by that strength you are able to accomplish every task before you today, tomorrow and ever day after that!

God is love and true love literally drives out fear. We should have a desire to represent Christ and do the same as His ambassadors here on earth. Only God can truly transform and perfect us in His perfect love because He IS love. Once this is done we are better qualified as His ambassadors.
🙌 May God help us not to be hypocritical in our expressions of love to you by truly loving our brothers and sisters that we see here on earth every day. Thank you Lord for your love God! Give us a clean heart (Psalm 51:10) and perfect those areas that concern us (Psalm 138:8).

Oftentimes, in the process of our decision-making, we unconsciously check in with our intellect and “experience” before we do with the very One who created the brain that curates our intellect and affects our past experiences. He is ALL-knowing and therefore privy to information that you are not.
So, don’t hastily make important decisions out of anxiety or fear over a lack of time. Our God is the Author of time, but He is not subject to it. So, put your trust in Him and make a conscious effort today to check in with your spirit before moving forward on any serious decision. He loves you and can give you divine insight, wisdom and favor when and where you need it. Trust Him…He’s got you! 🙌

🧐 True wisdom comes from God. May godly wisdom and the fruit of the spirit bear witness in our lives so that we are better representatives of Christ in how we interact with and allow the love of God to operate in our lives towards others.
🙌 Thank you Lord for loving us enough to give us your wisdom and for the privilege of representing you here on earth! #vcccharlotte #dailydevotion #biblestudy #wisdom #fruitofthespirit #represent #scripture #verseoftheday
Oftentimes, when we see this verse, we automatically remind ourselves of the importance of not talking as much as we do as well as listen. However, this practice is also just as important in our relationship with Him. God wants to lead your life, and one of the ways we allow Him to do just that is to entrust our mind and emotions do Him as well by letting Him take the lead.
Practice praying in tongues today and making a conscious effort to follow this command. It will curate the opportunity for God to speak wisdom to your spirit in different areas before you open your mouth. It may also save you embarrassment, time and resources. God thank you for loving us and thank you for putting a watch over our mouths today (Psalm 141:3) in Jesus name. Amen. Have a blessed day today!

🙌 Good morning new mercies! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of them today. Yes…He is faithful and because of His faithfulness, we can be faith FULL; we can put our hope in Him. He is dependable and consistent, and His heart towards us is compassionate. So never tire seeking God’s direction and/or walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve missed the mark, His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace.
Take the time to reflect on and thank God for His love for you this morning. Appreciate His “leading” of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21). Because of God’s faithfulness to us, our hope and faith IN HIM can be renewed afresh this morning and the next, just like his mercies. He is a good Father! May we represent you and the family well today (Ephesians 2:19)!

👣 Commit to walk in excellence as you complete every task that you put your hand to today. We have the privilege of being God’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) - His hands and feet here on earth. Our citizenship is in Heaven, and so is our award when we faithfully serve Jesus. Keep in mind that God can and will give you divine insight and guidance on how to accomplish a task more efficiently and effectively. He will give you the right words to say (Proverbs 25:11) for any given situation AND give you favor when and where you need it. So, remember Who you’re really doing it for and Who you represent. He’s got your back but it brings Him great joy to also lead you, so let Him. #MakeHimProud

Keep your eyes looking upward. Remember NOTHIING physical (possessions) will be taken with you to Heaven, so why not free yourself from it now? Our Heavenly Father is a Good Father, and He will provide everything you need.
Focus instead on accumulating spiritual riches and souls for the Kingdom of God. Renew your mind and allow God’s love and the fruits of the Spirit to transform you into a better representative of the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:22-23, Psalm 51:10). It’s our privilege to mimic Him and to aggressively busy ourselves with following His ways. So, keep your spirit man built up today, so that you are more aware and sensitive to His leadings. He loves you and will never steer you wrong

Salvation and our relationship with Christ, as a whole, should not be a stagnant one. Continue to grow, learn and study the things of God, so that you develop spiritually everyday. Pray in tongues regularly so that the Holy Spirit - your Teacher - can instruct you and give wisdom and guidance where needed. What a merciful Father we serve! He wasn’t just interested in “saving” us, but after He did, He cared enough for us to perfect those things that concern us and use us for His will (Psalm 138:8)!
🙌God please continue to work in and through us for your good pleasure and purpose. Thank you for the pleasure and privilege of being fit for your use, in Jesus’ name, Amen. .

It’s refreshing to know that God is a “finisher”. He completes every task that His hand is upon. He didn’t start calling creation - as we know it - into existence and then give up because He was tired or no longer inspired. Be encouraged that in a similar fashion, the work that God has begun IN you, whether it’s your purpose, a vision that God has given you or even Him helping you to make improvements in your life (Psalm 138:8), He will complete it.
He has not and will not give up on you. You can do all things with the help of the Lord (Philippians 4:13). Pray to God for help with the faith and endurance to emulate the character of our Savior. You have nothing to fear. You have a sound mind and have been equipped with the power of God to complete any task today and moving forward in Jesus’ name (2 Timothy 1:7). HAPPY FRIDAY! #ImAFinisher #PrinciplesOfBeingAFinisher #vcccharlotte #perfect
Regardless of what cares or concerns we may feel we have pressing us, God is the firm and steady Rock that we can depend on. We can lean on Him, our Redeemer.
🙏 God help us to honor you with our words and thoughts today. Give us a new heart if that is what is needed to do so (Psalm 51:10). Thank you Lord for your love, faithfulness and compassion to us daily. 🙌🏼
