Caution Roadwork…

Posted on by admin

Philippians 1:6 “I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished…”

When roadwork commence on a highway it’s easy to become frustrated. We have to slow down and crawl along while they work to upgrade the road. Eventually it is complete and we are speeding along in safety again. We soon forget that it had ever happened.

Likewise our verse tells us about the work God has planned in us. He says He has already started it and that it is going to continue. It will keep going until it is complete just like road works. At that time we will again speed along in life and get to the planned destination safely.

The powerful key to victory here is to never allow frustration to set in. God is doing a perfect work in us so we need to slow down and yield to His mighty hand. It may seem slow, bumpy and dirty but as soon as it’s complete we’ll forget the difficulty and frustration that was there. We’ll be speeding along with a smile on our face.

This week know that God is doing a work in you and in everyone around you. Decide not to react in frustration and anger but reach out to others with love and concern. As you do this you’ll reap the same back as a harvest in your life. Rather than people reacting to you they’ll be supporting you. Try it and see just how true the Word of God can be in your life.

Wisdom…

Proverbs 8:34 “Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to wisdom, awake and ready for me each morning, alert and responsive as I start my day’s work”

Some days we wake up feeling a little grumpy and it often effects our whole day. Other times we wake with joy and a heart full of hope. This often results in a day blessed from beginning to end. We soon discover that how our day starts often influences the direction it will take.

Our verse reassures us that we have the right to days filled with blessing and happiness. Whether we are male or female it is our right as born again believers. It also shows us that there is a specific way to achieve this in our lives.

Here is a key to experiencing this blessing. First thing every day we should wake up and find wisdom. As we continue through our day we must be alert and responsive to her voice.

So, how do we discover this wisdom? We open our Bible, the book of wisdom, and allow it to guide every part of our day. Every piece of wisdom we will ever need is contained in its pages.

This week why not start each day with wisdom. Before doing anything else seek some from the Bible. It will change your day. It will set you up for a blessed and happy time. It will allow God’s Wisdom to navigate your day rather than anything else. So, get ready for a happy and blessed week together!

Your Time to Flourish…

1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.”

Have you ever been in a circumstance where you think to yourself a third hand would be really helpful right now? It doesn’t matter what the situation, we all have times when we need help to successfully complete our assignment.

We must remember that we are each created to be dependent on other people. Every person, no matter how competent, needs help. We are each limited physically, intellectually and spiritually. That is why God created us to work with others. It is the very reason that He surrounded us with family, friends, colleagues and spiritual leaders.

As we all work together, each doing our part, an amazing thing happens. God makes that seed grow. That’s right, He is then able to make our tasks flourish, grow and produce fruit! I’m ready for that, how about you?

This week let’s set our sights on flourishing in God by finding the right people to team up with and take on life’s big challenges. This will activate the principle of growth over our lives. Once our part is done then God is able to complete His part. We will soon discover ourselves surrounded by growth. We will experience the sweet fruit of success. God will cause our lives to flourish like never before.

Turn Your Dream Into Reality…

Ecclesiastes 5:3 “For dreams result from much WORK and a fool’s voice from many words.” [HCSB]

How do you want to be known? Our world is filled with talkers. Some people can talk endlessly about their dream but that’s it… they only talk! They never do the hard WORK needed to make their dream a reality. They just talk about it and hope someone else will build it for them. The bible calls them fools. No matter what our dream is… God’s word is clear that it will only bring results through hard WORK.

When we WORK hard towards our dream it will produce for us and it will please us. The dream God has placed in your heart is very precious. He placed it there for YOU to work on. This dream is significant and the time is NOW to make it happen!

The truth is that every day God wants you to do something active and positive to move towards your dream. It may be a major thing or a minor thing; it doesn’t really matter as long as you do something, every day, to move closer.

Remember… Preparation time is NEVER lost time! So maximize the resource of your free time, your preparation time and invest it into your dream today!

A Strange Happenings…

Isaiah 28:21 “…He may do His work, His strange work, and bring to pass His act, His strange act.”[AMP]

You can never put God in a box in any way, shape or form. Our verse tells us that God has a “work” and a “strange work”; He can bring to pass His “act” and His “strange act”. When we look back through the bible and often in our own lives, it seems that the “strange act” and the “strange work” are the ones that have produced the key changes and the biggest fruit in our lives. For example we all know that God wants to prosper us – this is a “work” from God. But when it actually happens in our life it seems like a “strange work” because it happened in a way we could never have imagined.

Some of the circumstances that you may be going through at the moment could be part of a “strange work” of God in your life. God can be planning to bring forth a “strange act” in your future if you yield your will to Him. This week get prepared for a “strange work” and a “strange act” in your life. They are a very powerful, life changing events and are absolutely beyond what you could ever ask, think or imagine.

Who would ever want to opt for a conventional life outside of Christ? No Way!!!

This week do all you can to fulfill the natural parts of your life and let God put His “Super” on your “natural” and bring forth His supernatural results. Arrange your life to receive the strange (unique) act or work of God in your circumstances. Know that change is coming!!!
