God does not see you as a loser. He sees you as a king. He sees you as an ambassador, a representative of heaven. The Bible tells us that we are a royal priesthood (I Peter 2:9). God, Himself is royalty. There isn’t anyone more majestic than God. There is no one more powerful than God, and yet He has given you joint seating in heavenly places, a place of authority. Stop seeing yourself as obscure. The believer should never have an inferiority complex, because we are anything but inferior. We are a royal priesthood. We are kings and priests. We are more than conquerors. If you remind yourself of these spiritual truths on a daily basis, the devil won’t have a chance if he tries to come against you.

If you know anything about the story of Joseph, you will know that he had to overcome several obstacles on the way to walking into what God had for him. He was sold into slavery by his brothers and then lied on by his master’s wife. At this point in his life, he had a right to be down and out, upset and mad at the world. Instead, he was concerned about other people. He was concerned about two individuals who gave the appearance that something was wrong. He wasn’t thinking about himself and his hardships, he was concerned about the needs of others. No matter what you are going through, there are others who are experiencing difficulties too. Remember that Job’s situation turned around after he prayed for his friends. There is someone around you, that may be hurting, you may be the one person that God may use to turn things around in their lives. Stay sensitive and stay ready, God is counting on you.

Everything we receive from God, we receive it by faith. The above text gives us some insight into Abraham’s faith. Abraham believed and trusted God. Abraham received by believing God and trusting in what He said. If we are going to receive from God, we must do the same. God is no respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of faith. God honors His Word, and He is watching over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12 AMPC). Our job is to know what God has said, and then to believe and trust that God will do what He said He would do. When we do our part, God will always do His.

No matter what God has called you to do, He will help you. God tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Jeremiah had apprehensions about walking in the office of the prophet and speaking before the people. God was letting Him know that there was nothing to be afraid of, because He was not only with Jeremiah, but also there ready to deliver him. As we walk out all that God has for us, we can rest assured that God has our back, and He will assist us in any way possible, to see to it that we are successful in whatever endeavor we are pursuing on His behalf. We can trust God to take care of us, and we can trust Him to deliver us if deliverance is what is needed. He did it for Daniel. He did it for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and He will do it for YOU.

God created places before he made people. God is a God of placement. God had already predetermined Isaac’s success, but his success was predicated on his being where God wanted him to be. It reminds us of the story of Elijah. God told him to go by the brook Cherith, and while he was there, ravens brought him food twice a day. Once the brook dried up, God told him to go and connect himself to a widow. God sustained Elijah, the widow, and her son during the remainder of the famine. If Elijah had decided to go somewhere else, he would not have received the provision that God had prearranged. Isaac would eventually become very wealthy while the rest of the world endured severe famine. God will always take care of us, when we are where he wants us to be. Isaiah 1:19 tells us that if we “be willing and obedient, we will eat the good of the land”.

God called Moses to deliver His people from the bondage of slavery. Moses had acted in his flesh and killed an Egyptian, forty years prior; and now he was in the wilderness and God was dealing with him to come back to Egypt and deliver His people. Moses was telling God a list of his shortcomings, as if God didn’t know what his shortcomings were. Isn’t that like so many of us? When God begins to share with us His plans and purpose for our lives, we start to think of our shortcomings. We sometimes have a tendency to think of people who are smarter, who have more outgoing personalities, are better looking, better communicators--we think of all kinds of wrong thoughts. We must understand that God understands everything about us. He doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies those He has called. We must humble ourselves and understand that true humility is agreeing with God and what He thinks of us. God has called you for a reason, and if He thinks you're the person for the job, you must be. God sees what we don’t, and He knows the potential that He has placed on the inside of us. Let's agree with God today and understand that we aren’t carrying out His plans in our own strength, we are simply the vessels that He is using. Without Him, we are nothing.

God loves us, and it is His desire that we not only learn His Word (His will), but that we gain a true understanding of the heart behind it. His Word truly restores & refreshes our souls (Psalm 19:7). He is faithful to us, and when we familiarize ourselves with what is important to Him, we gain wisdom and peace of mind in the process. In addition, God has given us the Holy Spirit to give us godly wisdom as well. ⁣🙏 So, keep your heart pliable so that you are able to gain a better understanding and become better representatives for the Kingdom of God every day. We have the privilege of being His ambassadors. May we never take the breath in our lungs [that He’s given us] for granted. ⁣

The Bible is our success book. The Bible is our instruction book. We cannot expect to succeed God’s way if we don’t submit ourselves to the Word of God. We cannot despise the Word. In Psalm 112, the Word tells us that the man who is blessed is the man who greatly delights in the Word of God. We cannot pick and choose the part of the Word that we want to obey. We must obey all of the Word of God. We must desire to please God at all costs. We must consecrate our lives to Him, and one way we consecrate ourselves to God is to consecrate ourselves to His Word. Let's not despise the Word, we don’t want to be destroyed. We want to become all that God wants us to be. We want to represent Him. We cannot do that without a renewed mind, and in order for that to take place, we must renew our minds to the Word of God.

Sin is a destructive force. Sin came into the earth when man fell in the Garden of Eden. Sin is what brought the curse into the earth. The Bible tells us that, “the wages of sin is death”. (Romans 6:23). Because of what Adam and Eve did in the Garden, sin had dominion over mankind. We were slaves to sins. Through Jesus Christ, sin has lost its power over us. Sin no longer has dominion over us. We have been raised together with Jesus, and we have been set free from the power of sin. We have been made the righteousness of God. We are now in right standing with God and we don’t have to sin another day in our lives. As we continue to meditate on this truth, it will become a reality to us. We can live the way God initially intended for us to live, a life of victory and a life free from sin.

What an awesome statement one could make. To finish the work that God gave you, and to do it down to the last detail. What a testimony that Jesus had. He had completed the work that God gave. He completed it despite opposition from the Pharisees and the Sadducees. There were those who went to hear Him speak just to twist His words. Despite all of this, Jesus completed the work that God gave Him. Jesus is our example. He was diligent in His mission. He went about teaching, preaching, and healing everywhere He went. He would spend many hours in prayer fellowshipping with the Father, receiving instructions to carry out on behalf of His Father. If we will follow His example, we will be able to say the same thing. We will be able to say, “I finished the work, I completed down to the last detail what you assigned me to do.”

We all have issues that we are dealing with. A minister once said, “Everyone needs healing in some area of their lives”. He was simply saying that everyone has something in their lives that they need God’s intervention. If we are not careful, situations and circumstances can cause us to worry, and we try to take care of the major issues in our lives, instead of casting the care on God. We must understand that God is so much more capable and qualified to handle our problems than we are. God is undefeated, and we must come to the realization that God knows how to handle our problems when we give it to Him. If we choose to work on our problems, God rests. When we allow God to work on our problems, we rest. Cast your cares on God today, and trust that He has the wisdom and the capability to handle it, you’ll be glad that you did.

Isn’t it amazing what God asks us to do? Love your enemies? Bless them that curse you? How can God expect anyone to do that? Well, it's simple, number one, God would not ask you to do something you were not capable of doing. Number two, the Bible tells us that the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5). When you were born again, God placed His love on the inside of you. This makes you capable of loving the unlovable and being merciful to those who need mercy. Just as God loved us while we were sinners, we can love people where they are until they get where God wants them to be. Let's love everybody. Let's show the world what real love is, they need it now more than ever.

How many of us would be further along if we inquired of the Lord? We would probably make fewer mistakes and possibly be further along in life. We have all missed it in the past. We are all human and sometimes we make mistakes like Joshua did in interactions with the Gibeonites. The Gibeonites lied to Joshua and tricked him into making an alliance with them. The Bible says in Joshua 9:14, “And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord”. Our success is in being led by the Spirit of God. God tells us in Isaiah 48:17, “Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go”. God will always have our best interest at heart, and it is always in our best interest to let Him lead us and guide us. When we do, we know success is inevitable.

It’s generational! While you were in your mother’s womb, He loved you. He created you with the perfect combination of your gifts, talent, and purpose (Jeremiah 29:11, 1:5). He spoke creation into existence so very long ago, yet we still are reaping the benefits of what He spoke into the atmosphere in faith. You have been called and set apart for His divine purpose. So, confidently place your faith in your Heavenly Father so that He can lead you and guide you where He desires you. God desires nothing but good for your life, so why not submit your plans to His life. Throughout the generations, He has proven Himself to be dependable, consistent, righteous and true. So, commit ALL of your ways to God and trust that He knows best for your life (Psalm 37:5). You can count on Him—He NEVER fails!⁣⁣

The Bible tells us that Job was the greatest of all the men in the East (Job 1: 3). Job was a very wealthy man. He had a large number of sheep, camels, oxen, donkeys, and many servants. The Bible also gives us some clues into what caused Job to be wealthy. He feared God and abstained from evil (Job 1:1). The Bible also tells us that He held fast to the ways of God and treasured the Word of God more than He did his food. This would line up with Psalm 112. In that chapter, it talks about the man who delights in the commandments in the Lord. One of the things was wealth and riches (Psalms 112: 3). When we are lovers of the Word of God and meditate on it day and night, success is inevitable (Joshua 1:8). Job would go through a lot, but God would eventually bless him with twice as much as what he had before the devil attacked him and stole all that he had. Our success as believers will always be tied to the Word of God. It takes the Word of God to renew our minds and to adapt God’s thoughts and ways. Let's endeavor to put the Word first place in our lives, our success depends on it.

If you read the whole chapter, it talks about how God dealt with the nation of Israel. It talks about the signs, the wonders, and the miracles that God did to set them free from bondage and to take care of them in the wilderness. God defended the Israelites, He fed them; He met their every need. He was the Source of everything they needed because He was honoring the covenant that He made with Abraham. The Bible tells us that God doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6). The same way that God took care of His people is the same way He wants to take care of all of us who are His children. In order for us to experience God’s provision, we must put our trust and dependency on Him. What must obey His Word and we must look to Him as our Source, not our jobs, or our education or anything else. God delights in prospering His people, but we must put ourselves in a position for Him to do that. We must not be like the Israelites. The Bible says that they limited God (Psalm 78:41). God wanted to do so much more, but their unbelief and unwillingness to put their trust in God caused them to miss out on God’s best for them. Let’s learn from the Israelites. Let's not hinder God, let’s trust Him and walk in all that He has for us, let’s walk in God’s best!

It is the will of God that His people spend their lives free from sickness and disease. God was letting His people know that if they would listen to His voice and follow His commands and His statutes, He would keep His children free from sickness and disease. In Exodus 23:25, God told the people that “ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee”. Notice that in both Scriptures, serving the Lord and keeping His commandments is what caused God to keep His children in divine health. God does not want His people sick. As we walk with God and obey the Word of God, we can depend on God and trust that He will remove sickness from your midst. God is saying that sickness will not be able to stay in your presence when He is your Healer. Receive God as your Healer on today and know that you can live this life free from sickness and disease.

It doesn’t matter where we start in life, as we walk with God, and as we stay faithful to what He has called us to do, we can know that promotion will take place in His timing. David began his life in a place of insignificance. He was taking care of the sheep, and he was faithful in that, even though he had been anointed to be the next king. The Bible tells us that David behaved himself wisely in all of his ways (I Samuel 18:14). David was faithful in whatever God had called him to, and he was a man after God’s own heart. We must do the same if we expect God to trust us with promotion and increase in our lives. As long as God is number one in your life, God can trust you. He can trust that you won’t turn your back on Him if you are promoted and things in your life start to get better. As we walk with God, we can expect our lives to become better, and we can expect things to get better as long as we keep God’s hand on our lives.

God desires relationship with us. God desires to have a relationship like the one He had with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He wants to fellowship with us on a daily basis. Sin is what separated Adam and Eve from God. Now that we have been born again, we have been made the righteousness of God. God sees us in right standing with Him, and we can come to Him and talk to Him anytime about anything. Hebrews 11:6, tells us that “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. There are blessings in seeking God. We must make God our vital necessity. You wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who is only in it for what they can get out of it.

In the same way, God doesn’t want us to be in a relationship with Him for what we can get out of it. He loves us, and He has great things in store for us. We will only attain those things as we diligently seek His face. Many Christians seek the hands of God or His provision, instead of seeking His face. It is only after seeking His Face that we start to see a change. It reminds us of the scripture in II Corinthians 3:18 AMPC, “And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

Everyone wants to enjoy the goodness of God. Unfortunately, everyone isn’t willing to obey the Word of God. God’s Word hasn’t been given to us to take away our fun. God has given us His Word so that we can understand right from wrong. He has given us His Word so that we can know what is acceptable and unacceptable to our Heavenly Father. As we obey His commands, we then begin to experience the blessings of God. Obedience doesn’t cost, it pays! God desires for His children to not only eat the good, He also desires to wear the good, drive the good. He wants us to experience good in every area of our lives because He is a good God. His commandments should not be grievous to us. Our greatest desire should be to please Him in every area of our lives, and when we find out that there is something in our lives that is out of place, we must correct ourselves, because God is not going to change His mind. He loves us and cares for us, and He knows what is best for us. Let’s obey the Word of God and as we follow HIs commands, we will see the quality of our lives steadily improve. God’s Word is true.
