Day 19 Start with Love Part 2

Start With Love part 2  The last 2 days have been about loving Jesus and being obedient. Yesterday the private group focused on “why I love Jesus”. One member said it’s like the song says “because he first loved me”. We are heading into the hardest part of the matter which is loving others. I’m not talking about just loving the people who love you. I mean loving the people who you know don’t like you or have your best interest in mind. You might ask why do we have to do that. Firstly, is it necessary to have that loving attitude and mindset because it drives your actions and your choices. Luke 6:27-36 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.

Day 11 A Timely Mindset

A Timely Mindset We have all heard the expression “why put off tomorrow what can be done today”. The Bible says in proverbs 6:4 “Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do. “ Do you realize you’ve had a lot of yesterdays in your lifetime. There seems to be a big misconception about time. We somehow whimsically say “I will do it tomorrow”.

This week we have been discussing the mindset of a warrior. Joshua in the battle of Jericho was not just obedient but timely. The smallest details have the most impact in battle and in life. Your future successes are wrapped in your daily routines (Dr. Micheal Murdock). Joshua 6:10 Joshua had commanded the army, “...

Day 6 The Mind of an Achiever part 2

The mind of an achiever part 2        To be an achiever is the first step to becoming a crowned overcomer. When you set that standard you move from conquered to conqueror! At this stage you should be setting goals and taking steps to ACHIEVE them. What does this look like in reality? Let’s examine one of the greatest achievers in the Bible, Joseph. Joseph took the vision given by God and put it into action. During the 7 years of plenty he drafted a plan and was displined enough to work on it (Genesis 41:48-49). Because of his ability to set goals and achieve them he saved a nation. Another very interesting observation that can be made of Joseph is that he was obedient. There is a direct connection between obedience and achieving. We will discuss that next week. For now your homework is to work on setting goals and make a specific plan to achieve those goals. Move the vision into action!!!
