When God gives you a clear vision and you think it will be uncomfortable, what will you do?
Do you recognize that in the uncomfortable places, He will give you comfort? Think on this: The vision He shows you, is not your vision. It is His vision and He will use a willing vessel for the manifestation. Are you the willing vessel? Are you willing to leave comfort for ministry? Are you willing to leave comfort for the process? Are you willing to leave comfort for the pain? Are you willing to leave comfort for the promotion? Are you the willing vessel? Romans 12:1 As a heart failure nurse, I recommend to all patients, avoid salt. Salt causes you to be thirsty, thus increasing fluid intake, which can make you full of fluid, weakening the heart...
Today, I want you to add salt to your life and those surrounding you. Matter of fact, I recommend you be the salt! Salt does two things, it preserves and it adds flavor. Be the one that preserves the Word of God. Share the Word. Keep the Word in your heart. Live the word daily. Be a walking, living testimony. Add some salt to those around you. Tell them about the Word and how good He is. Remind them to taste and see that the Lord is good! As I mentioned earlier, salt also makes one thirsty. The more salt you add, the more thirsty they become. They begin to seek the water, the Living Water!! They become so full of the Holy Spirit, the heart becomes stronger!! So, add salt! Matthew 5:13, Psalms 34:8 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Many are the afflictions: abuse, sexual assault, death of love ones, hatred, jealousy, financial hardships, addictions, divorce, depression, fear, hopelessness, domestic violence, and more.... BUT GOD!!!! He will deliver you out of them all. To deliver means to bring and hand over, the postman delivers letters to your home, the waiter delivers food to the table; they have to carry them to deliver them. What am I saying? The letter exist, the food exist, the afflictions will exist, BUT GOD will carry you and deliver you out of them all! One meaning of the word exist, is to live, especially under adverse conditions, do you see it? The letter has to go through some poor conditions to get delivered, such as weather and being handled by so many people, and sometimes when the letter is delivered it may not look like it looked before it was sent, but it arrives!! The food has to go through some serious conditions, such as chopping and being placed in extreme heat, but it arrives!! The food don't look like what it went through!! You have to experience some afflictions, such as those listed above, but God will cover you, protect you, and deliver you out of it all!!! You will arrive, you may be bruised, you may shine like a diamond, but you will be delivered!!! Praise Him!! Romans 8:28, Psalms 34 Be careful, chasing money is not what God wants from you. Your ministry should be your focus, not the earthly rewards of money or fame. Stop comparing yourself to the TD Jakes of the world. Everyone is not to be rich or famous, not by man's standards, anyway. You have to realize you are already rich, because your Father owns it all. So many times, it appears we chasing money and fame but forget our Father owns the cattle on the hills! We say God is our focus, but is He?
I can only share my personal thoughts, from my point of truth. I do not want to be a millionaire as the world sees it. I want to be a millionaire by touching a million lives with the Word of God. I lack nothing in my life, as long as I have Jesus. Do a reassessment of your business/ministry to make sure your motives are right. Be humble. Trust God. Remember, God will make provision for the vision. Is it God or is it you? Colossians 3:23, Proverbs 16:3, Colossians 3:17 |
