“You Must Acquire the Warrior’s Soul” | Give Him 15: Daily Prayer with D...

This is fitting in today's time. Believers are called to stand up & fight for righteousness. God fought for us when he died on the cross, why can't we as believers fight for Him?

The True Meaning Of Ministry

Mark 16:15-Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature. Mark 16:15 doesn't call us to stay within the 4 church walls, it commands us to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Whatever your calling, that's your ministry. If you're a teacher, you're a minister in education because you're educating children. Teachers have a tough job because they wear many hats: Educator, advocate, parent (for some children, that teacher is the closest parental figure they'll ever have). There's nothing like a successful student coming back years later and thanking that teacher who believed in them. That's...ministry. Coaches are considered ministers because they work with athletes daily. For many young athletes, their coach is like a father to them especially coming from the ghetto. You don't need to be in the puplit Sunday & Wednesdays preaching the gospel to be considered a minister. As long as someone's making a difference, they are a minister whether it's a doctor, lawyer, law enforcement officer, etc. Let's stop limiting ministry to a pulpit on Sundays & Wednesdays.

 

Live ⬆️ To Your Name

It’s time we live up to our name and know who we are in Christ. We must not be swayed by Satan’s foolishness.

I Can Do All Things Through Christ

We fight on God’s terms, not the enemy’s.  When we lean on God, there’s no battle we can’t win. 

Today’s Thought: He (God) Is Preparing A Place For Us (Believers)

Imagine…a place without suffering. If we stay focused on God, we will enjoy the place God prepared for us. I don’t know about anyone, but I realize everyday that this world is trash. While I want to enjoy life while I can, I’m content with leaving this world behind at the right time because I know where I’m going. 

Believers: We Belong To God

We belong to God, who paid a heavy price for us (dying on the cross for our sin). We must realize we win every battle we have in life.

Handling Success

People who appreciate success are humble. They remember the struggle to get where they're at today, so they don't take their success for granted like some people. It's said that success doesn't change the person, it changes the people around them. I think it's true because when someone reaches a level of success, the people around them start acting brand new: Wanting nice clothes, car, all of a sudden they're into high-end foods, etc. The richest people in the world have nothing to prove. They can afford nice things, but they choose not to because why spend money trying to impress those you don't know or care for? Makes no sense. Truth be told, if God sees fit for me to become successful, I promise you I will remain the same. Drive the same car, live in the same home, shop at Ross, etc. I will not waste time impressing strangers by wearing nice clothes & driving a Tesla. I've never put on airs nor will I ever. Whatever wealth I achieve, I'm thinking of ways to increase it so I can give back. Unfortunately, everyone can't handle success because some of them still find a way to screw up. Look at professional athletes who get in legal trouble, celebrities with substance abuse issues, etc. These are supposed "role models" and here they are fouling up. You learn a lot about people by how they handle their success.
