Seek his kingdom and righteousness
“But seek his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Matthew 6:33
Social media, friends, family, bank accounts, careers, sweat, blood, and tears, do not bring dreams to pass – God does! Therefore seek him first so that everything you want in life will come to pass. Hence,, unless you seek him first nothing else in your life will ever work out.

None of what you've done is wasted
"Yes," says the Spirit, "and blessed rest from their hard, hard work. None of what they've done is wasted; God blesses them for it all in the end."
-Revelation 14:13 MSG
Whether you can see it or not, when you work hard, do the right thing, live with a right heart, and keerp striving forward for Christ, nothing - and I mean NOTHING - will be wasted. Soon, the fruit of your hard work and dedication will shine through. Hang in there - it will happen sooner than you think, better than you can imagine, and hand-blessed by God himself.

“… stand your ground… don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.”
-1 Corinthians 15:58 MSG

It is then, my friend, that your prayers and blessings will come to fruition in so many different ways that you won’t know where to begin!!

How to become a better you
“… Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering…
… go ahead and be what you were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing yourself with each other, or trying to be something you aren’t.
…. Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it…
… Don’t burn out; keep yourself fueled and aflame. … pray all the harder…
… Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down…
Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody…
…discover beauty in everyone…
…. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.”
Adapted from Romans 12
If you have time, take some time to read the whole chapter – it can be life-changing and eye-opening to those of us that have forgotten our reasons for being and loving.
Not only that, it will help you become an even better you: God’s amazing child – God’s amazing steward

Even greater things.
"... The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing... From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I a and what I am doing, I'll do it... Whatever you request in this way, I'll do." John 14:11-14 MSG
My friend, God's chosen child, you are born to be great! Why? Because you are born of God, not of man.
Therefore:
Do in the name and the spirit of Jesus; ask in the name and spirit of Jesus; receive in the name and the spirit of Jesus;

The power of praying
"...I mean this. When two or more of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there." Matthew 18:18-20
WOW!
God's Word does not fail, which means, when you gather with another -others - for prayer, Our God goes to work immediately on our behalf.
Oh, the power of prayer!!!

Stop rejecting God's call
“God’s Message to his anointed…
I’ll go ahead of you,
clearing and paving the road.
I’ll break down bronze city gates,
smash padlocks, kick down barred entrances.
I’ll lead you to buried treasure,
secret caches of valuables –
Confirmations that it is, in fact, I, God,
The God of Israel, who calls you by name…
I’ve singled you out, called you by name
and given you this privileged work.”
Isaiah 45:1-7 MSG
This message is for you. Yes, you!
God is calling you. Stop rejecting the call – ANSWER!
My friend, you don’t want to miss the great life he is trying to give you.

Raise your standard of living
How can you raise your standard of living?
Simple:
“Live right,

A safe and stable way to live.
A nourishing, satisfying way to live.”

Now you know!
So raise your standards: Live out God’s word.

When your enemies hear the news
"... When all our enemies heard the news and all the surrounding nations saw it, our enemies totally lost their nerve. They new that God was behind this work." +Nehemiah 6:15-16, MSG
Have no fear of finishing the work God has set before you. Once the enemy realizes who has the control, they'll be backpedaling and running for their lives.

God has chosen you!
"...God has chosen you to take your place before him to serve in conducting and leading worship - this is your life work; make sure you do it and do it well." +2 Chronicles 29:10-11, +MSG
No, you may not be called to lead worship, but you've been called. Whatever gifts and talents God has bestowed upon you, (and we all have them), are part of who you are and what you have to offer as worship to our almighty God. So, share your gifts and talents - they are your life's work; make sure you share them and share them well!

The secret to being a great leader.

Great leaders start by serving others first.

To the best of your ability
“The house I am building has to be the best, for God is the best…” #2 Chronicles 2:5 MSG
Whatever you’ve been given to do in life needs to be done to the absolute best of your abilities, because whatever you’re given to do comes from God and He is worthy of all our best efforts.
Remember, God only gives you endeavors and directions that He knows you will excel in. So what you may think is impossible, isn’t! God won't set you up to do it if you can't do it, and God won't set you up for it if you aren't the one with the abilities do the best job possible!

The apple of God's eye
“… God’s great love and purposes for us are worked out in the messes, storms and sins, blue skies, daily work, and dreams
of our common lives, working with us as we are and not as we should be.”

eye.

Dependent on God
But we beseech and earnestly exhort you brethren,
that you excel to make it your ambition and endeavor to live quietly and
peacefully, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands,
being dependent on nobody [self-supporting] and
having need of nothing! Adapted from 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12
First off, work hard to take care of you and yours, and count on no one in this world to take care of your responsibilities for you. Secondly, pursue peacefulness in all your endeavors, and let no mortal man rule your heart. And most importantly, be completely dependent on God, because with Him no middleman is necessary - He will provide your every need.
