I heard a minister tell another minister that God

I heard a minister tell another minister that God had called them to do daily television! To which the elder minister replied, “oh Brother, daily television is so...so daily!” It is, and so is this walk of faith. Today, in keeping with the subject addressed in this chapter share about the importance of keeping your word. Not just Gods Word (vital!) but what you say out of your mouth. What are some things that we have boasted about doing and then over the course of weeks, months, we slack off and made excuses for why we aren’t following through any longer? I’ve experienced it firsthand when I stepped out into what I was sure God was telling me to do only for it to last no time at all. Other times, I knew it was God and I just kept putting it off, and off, and off and the disgust with myself grew. The Lord Jesus posed this question, “...But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” This is from Luke‬ ‭chapter 18:verse 8‬ ‭taken from the NLT,‬‬ and Jesus was comparing an unjust judge to His Father God? (He knew the difference - another blurb, for another time. I shall stick to the subject at hand) Jesus was referring to those who are actively doing something, stepping out (even failing) and yet very purposefully walking out their call. Yes, this walk is sooo daily, walk in love, extend mercy yet again, forgive, rejoice because somebody said something nasty, be a peacemaker...if that doesn’t make you shout!? But this is the blessed life and nobody can take the rewards that accompany this lifestyle away from you. As pastor John always says, “a quitter never wins and a winner will never quit!” So just “keep on keeping on!” -Pastor Ward Trotter
Today we confess: I am merciful, I am a peacemaker, I am a child of God, and I am blessed! Taken from Matthew 5:7 & 9

I know this chapter expounds on the importance of

I know this chapter expounds on the importance of financially supporting the ministry and I don’t want us to miss this. But in reading this, and listening to the Lord, there was a phrase that jumped out at me, and here it is: “Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it. Now you should finish what you started.” We have been living a very different life for over a year now. At the start of the worlds initial ‘lock-down’ I remembered listening to Terri Savelle-Foy and she said, “ take this time to do a course, read a book, paint a masterpiece, learn how to play the piano...” or something like that. Looking back now (hindsight being 20/20) we could have done all of those things several times over. But seriously, we’ve all had the same time and what did we do with it? In this time have we become better or just bitter? Have we grown in faith hope and love, or has fear contaminated and compromised our walk? Again I encourage you to finish what you started. What has God put in your heart to do? Do it! What have you wanted to do on a personal level? A business level? Whatever it has been, today is the day for you to do it. Don’t allow the enemy (or anyone else for that matter) to talk you out of fulfilling your destiny. It could have been just as easy for our forerunners to have thrown in the towel, easier to be sure. Joseph, David, Esther, Daniel just to name a few. So, today, grab that proverbial bull by the horns, and be the finisher, the doer, the victor, the overcomer...God is the one who called you, you step out in faith, and He will complete it through you!
I’ve taken our confession today from three scriptures; Philippians 1:6, James 1:22, and Colossians 4:17
I don’t just listen to, or hear Gods Word, I am faithful to complete the ministry I have received from my Lord, just as He who began this gracious work in me will faithfully complete it. (Shout here!)

I can appreciate what Paul is talking about here.

I can appreciate what Paul is talking about here. In line with this chapter, let me share a story I heard a couple of months ago. It’s about a young girl who was seeing a professional counsellor because, as she claimed her parents, were abusive. The investigation that followed the accusations showed that her parents were not abusive at all. Naturally they had specific rules, curfews and did expect their teenage daughter to attend church with them and do specific chores...the horrors! Sadly, and in spite of the now actual, true facts having come to light, the counsellor continued to defend this girl saying that it didn’t matter what was actually happening because to this young lady the abuse was her truth, her reality and thus further permitted her to live trapped in a lie. Remember the words of Jesus,”And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John‬ ‭8:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Knowing the truth makes you free. This is what Paul is talking about here: Godly sorrow leads to repentance. He was sorry that he had to be honest and tell them what they did was wrong, but he did it because he knew how much God loved the Corinthians and wanted them to repent and live in the liberty of the Truth. In today’s world Paul would have been condemned as a power-tripping, narrow-minded, intolerant bigot. I, personally, would rather be lumped in with Paul, than with those who abhor the Truth. Correction is part of this Christian life and only those who recognize it as the blessing it truly is will grow and become all that God has called them to be.
Confession: “Because I am a believer and a true follower, I will continue to embrace all that Jesus, the living Word teaches, when I embrace and acknowledge and adhere to the truth of the Word of God I will live in in true liberty. Taken from John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭

We serve God no matter what. Whether we receive h

We serve God no matter what. Whether we receive honour, and praise or slander and disgruntlement, WE SERVE GOD! This is a mindset that has to be developed and meditated on just as much as “by His stripes I was healed!” This Christian life is a very active one. It must be lived in a state of constant awareness of the enemies tactics and a continual love and zeal for Christ in order to have victory. This is not to say that we should be suspicious and anxious, but as the scripture we recently meditated on said, we are not ignorant of our enemies devices. Passivity has no reward. Let me give you an example, how do you resist fear? Can you just close your eyes and fold your hands and rock in your rocking chair while listening to your thoughts go haywire, orrrrr...do you have to declare the Truth? Let me put it this way: if Jesus said, “take no thought saying,” (Matthew 6:31) then guess how you do take a thought? That’s right, by saying! When the enemy comes with thoughts of fear and lack we have to actively SAY what God and His Word has to say on the matter. You’ve heard the saying,”good things come to those who wait”? Not true! Good things come to those who actively make a choice, daily, to say, and do, and pursue the right things. This life we live is a life of seed, tiiiiiiiime, and harvest, it is a very everyday, actively, strategic battle for your successes and your victories.
Our confession today: I submit and surrender to the authority of God and His kingdom way, I resist, stand firm against, and defiantly oppose my enemy, and he flees from me. Taken from James 4:7
