Obey the lord and increase (multiply) greatly

• Deuteronomy 6:3 (NIV)

  Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

Faithful and trustworthy

“His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much…” 

~Matthew 25:23 AMP

You are blessed with talents and abundances in which you are to share and grow, bless and be blessed.  So, if we choose to hide our gifts and talents then we won’t ever be able to grow or enjoy full success - become all that God wants us to be.

My friend, you have natural abilities because God has given them to you - share them in order that they can become light and influence to the darkness that surrounds you, share them in order that you might grow and succeed; share them so that on the day the Lord comes to take you away, He smiles and says:

Well done, you upright and faithful servant!

 

Do you want to become well?

“When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well?...”

John 4:6 AMP

This verse gets me every time!  I love it because I believe it’s the Lord asking me, “Do you want to have a better life; do you want to live a victorious life?”.  It makes me realize the things I’ve been complaining about, the excuses that I’ve used, the anger that I’ve not let go, and the forgiveness that I have yet to give to someone I may be upset with.  It makes me get off of my pity-pot!

Now, let me ask you, “Do you want to have a better life; do you want to live a victorious life?”.  If your answer is, Yes, then join me and GET UP!!  Our lives our too short to be focusing on the darkness in our lives; to be focusing on what or whom we think we need to blame for our problems.  Let's get off of our pity-pots, move on from the darkness, and take a hold of this blessed life that Jesus so brutally died to give us!  

Yes! Today, we begin afresh and anew, and we begin to live like we’ve never lived before – and all of this in the glorious name of Jesus.

 

God is still alive and well

"... As their God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, I am still alive and well..." Jeremiah 51:1-5 MSG

God is still alive and well and He sees and hears every word we speak, every move we make, and every thought we think.  

Therefore, as children of God, we need to speak, move, and act as such!!

Come close, listen carefully.

“Come close, listen carefully:

I’ve never kept secrets from you.

I’ve always been present with you…

I am God, your God,

who teaches you how to live right and well.

I show you what to do, and where to go.”

Isaiah 48:16-19

Listen closely, listen with your heart, God is talking to you.  Open your eyes and look with the eyes of your heart, God is right in front of you.  There is a still, small voice – whisper – talking to you, showing you…it is God.  So, do what he’s showing, telling, you to do!  It is your path to greatness and glory – you definitely don’t want to miss it.

God will bring the blessings

Micah said, “Now I know that God will make things go well for me – why, I’ve got a Levite for a priest!” Judges 17:13, The MSG

As a child of God, when He hears your cry for help, He goes to work; and whether it be the form of a person, or a place, or a thing, God will bring it to you, and that is when you will know that your prayers and dreams have been answered.

 

Simply believe

“…Do not be seized with alarm or struck with fear; simply believe [in me as able to do this], and she shall be made well.”

Luke 8:50 AMP

Believe in God, and all will be well; believe in the world, and all will go awry.

Nothing complicated about this – simply believe!

Obey the voice of the Lord

“… Obey, I beg of you, the voice of the Lord, who speaks to you through me, Then it will be well with you, and you will live.” Jeremiah 38:20 AMP

Building a relationship with the Lord takes time and effort, much like all relationships do, and as time goes by, and your relationship with Him gets stronger, then you will develop a personal bond with Him that will outshine all others.  You will begin to hear His voice in your own ways, and you will begin to know, that you know, that you know, His calling, no matter what the situation may be.  Hearing His voice takes faith and boldness, and sometimes you just have to step out and try; He knows your heart, don’t worry, if you take the wrong step, He’ll pull you back in.  No matter the case, do what you feel God is telling you to do.

Yes friends, make sure to take time to build your most important relationship– your relationship with God – because without Him, your life will not succeed, however, with Him, your life will continually evolve into blessing upon blessing ~ a never-ending journey of miracles. 

Praise God - Hallelujah
