Remember To Say Thank You. Saying Thank you or appreciating someone everyday will change your day.

Saying Thank you or appreciating someone everyday will change your day. “God’s people should be bighearted and courteous.”  Tit 3:2  Remember To Say Thank You Gratitude comes with a host of benefits. It improves your heart rhythm, reduces stress, and helps you heal physically and think more clearly under pressure. It floods your body and brain with endorphins that strengthen and rejuvenate you. And like any muscle, the more you exercise it the stronger it grows. It doesn’t have to be complicated; just take a walk and think about your blessings and it will set the tone for your day. The Psalmist said, “Praise the Lord and do not forget all his kindnesses” (Ps 103:2). God’s blessings operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Try this: When you sit down to eat, have everyone at the table name something they’re thankful for. There’s always something: An elderly lady at a nursing home said, “I thank you, Lord, for two good teeth, one upper and one lower. And I thank yo...

Through Jesus Christ, You Can Conquer Your Habits

Through Jesus Christ, You Can Conquer Your Habits Everything can be conquered in area’s you are struggling with but through whom……..Answer is hidden in this message……. “Think carefully about…Jesus.”  Heb 3:1  Through Christ, You Can Conquer Your Habits Let’s say you’re trying to lose weight, but you love doughnuts. How can you overcome temptation? By repeating, “I must not eat doughnuts—I must not eat doughnuts—I must not eat doughnuts”? No, the more you think about doughnuts, the more you’re going to want them. Instead you must focus on something else (or someone else—Jesus!) who can help you overcome the temptation. Your problem is not in the doughnut shop, it’s in your mind. That’s where victory is won or lost. Paul writes: “Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the...

If we Trust in GOD’s sovereignty , HE will shower his Blessing upon us!

If we Trust in GOD’s sovereignty , HE will shower his Blessing upon us! ONE HUNDRED TIMES ZERO IS ZERO MATTHEW 17:24-27 This was quite a miracle. Not only was the money supplied for their taxes, but it was the exact amount needed, and it was from the first fish that was caught. Although this sets the precedent that God can supply our needs in a miraculous way, it's important to remember that God doesn't counterfeit money. He didn't create money in the fish, but rather he had the fish miraculously find and swallow the exact Roman coin that Peter needed. It's a mistake to just pray and then wait on God to rain the money down from heaven. As Luke 6:38 says, God uses men (and sometimes fish) to give finances to us. He can do it in a very unexpected, supernatural way but it will involve people and existing currency. We need to believe the Lord hears and answers our prayers and then pray for the people He's going to use to deliver the answer. This could be...

Do not complain.” Jas 5:9

Do not complain.”  Jas 5:9   Go on a Complaining Fast       Whatever you keep doing becomes a habit. That’s why James says, “Do not complain.” Author Jon Gordon says, “A complaining fast won’t just make everyone around you happier…you’ll experience more joy, peace, success and positive relationships.” So instead of complaining when things go wrong:   (1) Practice gratitude. Giving thanks for three blessings every day energizes you and makes you feel happier. It’s impossible to be grateful and negative at the same time.   (2) Encourage others. Instead of complaining about what people do wrong, focus on what they’re doing right. “Encourage…people who are afraid. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone” (1Th 5:14 NCV). It’s okay to critique people’s weaknesses as long as you balance it with three times more praise.   (3) Focus on your success. Start a success journal. Every night before you go to bed, write down ...
