The Benefit of Oppostion

Can I speak with you honestly for a moment?  I have said that I wanted God to bless me with a ministry that would assist others, but I didn't honestly think about the price that I would have to pay to reach those goals.  I realize that I can't approach accomplishing my dreams like most people do.  I have to work harder, sleep much less, and exert myself in all areas to be the best that I can possibly be.   I have faced great opposition, but what has astonished me is that with each opposition that I eventually overcome I have grown by leaps and bounds.  I have learned that giving up is not something that I can afford to even have in my vocabulary these days.  I don't like much of the things that I face, but I am not talking about liking things, but pressing forward regardless of what it looks like, or feel.  At the end of the day I have failed more than I have been successful, but eventually those failures teach me the very lesson that takes me higher.  Opposition I don't like it, but it's a teacher like no other.  If I want to improve my life, ministry, relationships, and walk with God than opposition is the tool that will be used more often than I would like.  We may not be able to direct the wind, but with prayer I can make the necessary adjustment to the sale.

How Do You Obtain Success?

 

Everyone is striving for success.  How do we obtain success I believe is the question that many of us needs answered?  Everything that we go through in life prepares us for success.  The hardships, the disappointments, the setbacks, and the failures all play a part in us reaching our goals and being successful.  These somewhat discouraging elements actually does something on the inside of us when we learn the significance of pressing forward regardless.  They build character, faith, perseverance, and the most important of them all is when we arrive to that place of added responsibility we are prepared on the inside.  I have had more disappointments this year than successes, but what's beginning to manifest is the glory of God.  God continues to keep me, provide for me, and has shown me that it's through the hardships of life that He brings about new glory.  Last week I encountered a disappointment that was a crushing blow, but I got up dusted myself off and said God let do this thing.  All thing work together for the good of those who love the Lord.  Romans 8:28.  I want to encourage someone today that regardless of what challenge you may be facing right now it's okay, and will work its way out, but don't give up.  Success is obtain through failure, and disappointment not just taking a route towards your goal, and arriving without any challenges.

The Enemy Whispers

 



If you are striving to achieve anything of a worthy cause you can best believe that the enemy will bring about opposition to keep you from advancing forward.  A huge plight of mine is to continue to grow in the wisdom of God, and advance my technology skillset which will  assist me in helping others to discovery God, grow personally, and advance their businesses or ministries.  I have made significant advancement, but I am learning that there is a price to pay if you are in the business of Kingdom agenda.  This past week the devil was about his business as usual whispering deceptive lies to discourage me as new opportunities are opening up.  Why are you even wasting your time with what you are doing?  No one cares about this God stuff.  You care more about people than they do about you.  Everyone is out for self while you want to help people.  The list goes on and on, but this is my point.  If I take the time to listen to this nonsense that the devil whispers from time to time he'll have me believing that I can't do what it is that God has called me to do.  Honestly I have fell for those whispers before and forfeited my blessing only to have to come back to that same point to face that challenge again.  The enemy at times bombards our mind with worthless lies to sabotage our dreams, and destiny.  I want to encourage someone today to don't believe that lies, and continue striving, seeking God, believing in your dreams or vision, and know that God will provide you with the means to take you to the place that He has predestined for you.

Managing Your Life

 

If we are not careful life has a strange way of taking over your life, and can began to overwhelm or run you.  I believe that the most challenging endeavor in life is learning how to manage the many task that are before us.  Work, children, projects, finances, and spiritual nourishment are all part of our responsibilities.  How do we manage all these different responsibilities without becoming consumed or overwhelmed?  Learning to prioritize what's most important is a great start.  I find my days are most successful when I address my spiritual man first thing in the morning.  When I feed this side of me it has a remarkable way of centering me in what's most important, and keeps me from becoming entangled in the areas which I really don't have any control.  Did I say control?  That's the place that I need to stay away from.  The only thing that I do have control over is myself, and how I react or respond to the things or situations around me.  The bible speaks of not worrying.  Worry divides the mind, and we find ourselves not trusting God, but allowing the things around us to steal our peace, and joy.  Daily reflection and introspection within myself keeps me centered in the things that are most important, and allows me to operate in a healthy manner.  The most definitive element of life resides in knowing when to let go of things that keeps us from spiritual growth and development.  The bottom line rests in trusting God, and understanding that life is a continual process of evaluation, and accepting whatever God shows us that needs to be changed in our lives.  Managing our lives is a perpetual reflection of self, and cleaning the areas of our lives that needs to be addressed.
