Losses Can Be Blessings

Every loss is not a loss. Some losses are blessings.

Soar Like An Eagle

I want to be ready for every level God takes me to. I'm not afraid to fly solo, I've been doing it for a while. Everybody that comes with you, can't go with you. I've noticed that successful people have few friends because they don't need dead weight in their lives. Dead weight can take the form of people riding with you for the blessing.

When God puts you with eagles, don’t have a chicken mentality. Don’t start talking about how that could never happen for you. Let it take root on the inside. Breathe it all in. Get used to it. That’s where God is taking you. He’s exposing you to new levels.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly

I don't know about anyone else, but I thank God more in the good times than bad, because I know what it took to get through the rough patches.

Man's Rejection Is God's Protection

Rejection Is A Blessing

I'm grateful every day for rejection. It took a while for me to reach this point, but I'm glad I have because God is keeping me from something or someone down the road that could be detrimental to me. My prayer is that God keeps me hidden from the wrong people, and so far he's done a good job of that. I used to get in my feelings over rejection, but now...I couldn't care less because most times, I don't want to blend in, I want to continue standing out, and if that means riding alone, fine. I've been riding solo for a long time, so it's nothing to me when some people reject me. It's a certain breed of people that are built to stand alone, everyone can't handle being solo.

Getting The Word

With technology the way it is, there's no excuse for any believer not to get the Word. It's plenty of Bible apps you can download on your IPhone, Android, etc. Then you can listen to sermons on YouTube, etc. There's more than one way to get that Word.

Today's Thought: Serving God Under One Roof

Shout out to one of my cousins for this post

Some believers don't like to serve. So many people in the body of Christ are intimidated instead of using each gift to make the 5 fold ministry. Pastors are in competition for most members. It's not a lot of pastors that are willing to work together. Some pastors want to have the biggest congregation to where they'll undermine each other to get on top. Jesus doesn't care who has the biggest congregation, all he cares about is who's bringing souls into his kingdom. There's also denominational differences. How many believers have visited another church? I'm not saying leave your home church, but at least visit another place of worship to see how other believers worship, and maybe you'll discover that we all serve the same God.
