If we’re going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.
God has destined you to soar. You have victory, freedom and excellence on the inside.
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have.
God made you a masterpiece – be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
Don’t go into the new year holding a grudge from last year. Leave the hurts and disappointments behind.
Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.
God would not have put a dream in your heart if He had not already given you everything you need to fulfill it.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.
Don’t just accept whatever comes your way in life. You were born to win; you were born for greatness; you were created to be a champion in life.
The enemy would love for you to worry about things that are never going to happen. He would love for you to miss the beauty of this day because you’re so anxious about tomorrow. Don’t fall into that trap.
I love the fact that Jesus broke the rules to reach people. He went against protocol, against what was accepted, to lift the fallen, to heal the hurting, to restore the broken.
You can’t stop the offense from coming, but you can keep it from getting down in you. How much time are you spending offended, bitter, holding on to a grudge? How much more could you accomplish if you would start letting things go?
Difficult people are all around. There will be someone that can steal your joy, offend you, leave you out, say something untrue. The key is to handle it correctly. Don’t take the bait. Don’t dwell on the negative comments. This is how you live happy.
Whenever you’re on the verge of a new level, negative seeds will come trying to talk you out of it. You can let those words take root or you can guard your mind and not let the doubt, the inferiority, talk you out of your destiny.
God is going to work all things for your good. While you’re waiting, when you don’t see anything happening, trust Him enough to enjoy your life. See the good in each day; be grateful for what you have.
The problem with being in the past or being in the future is you will miss the present. David said, “This is the day the Lord has made.” Today is a gift from God. Are you fully engaged, making the most of each moment?
You’re drawing in what you’re thinking about. If you’re telling yourself, “This problem is too big; I’ll never make it through.” You’re defeating yourself. Turn it around. “Yes, this is difficult, but God, I know You’re on the throne.
If you are going to magnify something, don’t magnify your problems; magnify your God. Talk about His greatness, talk about His favour.
God’s calling is still on your life; the assignment He has for you didn’t get canceled because you took a detour. He’s still going to honor you. You’re still going to see dreams come to pass.
God has people He’s already lined up for you who will celebrate you, approve you, love you, think you’re awesome. But until you let the wrong people go, you’ll never meet the right people.
Praise is what’s going to cause it to turn around. While you’re waiting for things to change, believing for breakthroughs, that’s when more than ever, you need to give God praise. Praise activates His power.
