“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all,
especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:10 (NKJV)

JANUARY 21 - Do you realize that by 1995 the most dynamic and rapidly growing economies in the world were right there on the Asian Continent, particularly the nations along the Pacific Rim? By practicing free enterprise, capitalism, and encouraging small businesses, backed by their legendary lifestyle of discipline, nations like Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore grew to solve problems for people all over the world.

This principle can become easily misinterpreted if you don’t understand it—I don’t choose to become what other people need because I’m afraid of what may happen if I don’t. In other words, I do not passively allow myself to be molded by another person. I become what is necessary to others, because I realize that doing so gives me a real reason to be in relationship with a person. I am in relationship to add value, not just to hang around. Similar to the way in which the Asian nations have filled in the gap, I add value the moment I begin to solve problems for other people. I am the one they seek, because I possess concrete answers and specific solutions to their problems.

Many people grow very frustrated in life because they don’t see a purpose in what they do. They feel valueless and unappreciated. Do you know the cure for this? Become what another needs. Answer questions that no one else can answer. Keep promises that others break. Be willing to go where no one else will go. Be willing to do what no one else will do, and do it well. Take a moment and think about the relationships you are currently in — How do you add value to their life? What problems do you solve? What answers do you bring?

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I have opportunity I do good to all,
but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

“He who walks with wise men will be wise,
but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV)

JANUARY 20 - There are essentially two kinds of people in our lives–those who seek comfort, and those who have an insatiable passion to change. Individuals who make us comfortable don’t have the ability to spur us on.

• They don’t cause us to change.
• They don’t urge us to become better.
• They are content with mediocrity, stuck in their comfort zone, and truly never break free.

On the other hand, there are those who are assigned to our lives to help us change.

• They are usually the authorities God places over us.
• They exist in various arenas of life, including our employers, parents, and pastor.
• They are vital to our growth.

Although we may feel pressure from those assigned to our lives to help us change, we must stay connected to these people since this type of pressure is for our growth and development. It is a necessity for you to become what God desires. If we turn our backs on our authorities and become a companion of those who are disrespectful, the Word of God tells us we will suffer severe consequences. We must acknowledge the significance and importance of relationships! Those we call “friend” determine the outcome of our life. May your friends only be those who draw you closer to the will of God for your life, and may you do the same in their lives.

Father, I thank You that I walk with wise men and I am wise.
I am a companion of those who cause me to grow and mature.

“And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to.
If you don’t obey, you are only fooling yourself.”
James 1:22 (NLT)

JANUARY 19 - While the buttons on her cell phone were nearly worn off, the college girl’s new Bible (received at last year’s birthday party) lay beautifully untouched. She intended to read it every morning, just as she was encouraged by her church, but with those calls—so many friends from the neighborhood and school—there just was never enough time. Intentions never move anyone anywhere. I wonder just how many people intend to be wealthy, healthy, fulfilled, and happy—the majority I would imagine. Over the years, I have discovered only a few who turn their intention into action. Their reward is achievement.

Achievers don’t talk about what they are going to do, because they are too busy doing it. If you find yourself living by intention, I encourage you to take immediate action:

• What have you been putting off?

• Is it cleaning the house, spending time with your spouse, finishing a project?

• And what is one thing you can do immediately to move you closer toward your intended destination?

Whatever it is, do it without delay after reading and meditating upon this success key. Many people will read this with the intention of taking action but never will. I don’t believe that about you. I believe you will make the decision to put your life on the right course and take immediate action. Don’t wait another minute. Take action, and your life will never be the same again!

Many believers are unaware that they do not have to be held prisoner to the fearful, accusatory, and worrisome thoughts that race through their mind on a daily basis. Since these thoughts sound like their own inner voices, people entertain them and then find themselves tormented by guilt, fear, rejection, anger, and unforgiveness.

But God not only instructs us to choose our thoughts – He tells us exactly what we should think about in order to experience His best for our lives! Through hard experience and extensive study of God’s Word, Dr. Robb Thompson has learned how to replace the devil’s thoughts of fear and failure with God’s higher thoughts of life and victory. Now he passes this vital lesson on to you. So get ready to take control of your thought life. It’s time to renovate your mind with the Word of God!

“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)

JANUARY 18 - We often embrace the faulty impression that the men and women of God we read about in the Bible were not human like us, and that they didn’t go through the same experiences and emotions we do. How would you like to be the one who replaced Moses, the great prophet and national deliverer, like Joshua did? It is guaranteed that Satan came immediately to notify Joshua how he was going to miserably fail. What Satan did yesterday, he does today. He lies! Joshua was petrified. Satan armed himself with brutally negative thoughts the moment God gave Joshua the assignment.

He probably told Joshua how he could not do what God asked, and questioned why God chose him. These are the same things he tells you and me. God said to Joshua (and He says to us), “My thoughts must be continually in your mouth. You must meditate upon them day and night in order to overcome the lies and the fears that the evil one brings your way.” If we follow this formula of success, we overcome insurmountable odds.

Our mind is actually the power plant of our future, capable of generating blessings and success. Even as a youngster, Jesus’ mind was continuously upon progress, growing in favor with God and man. The thoughts we think today progress into a distinct reality tomorrow. But we must stay long enough under God’s Word to be transformed into the man or woman God called us to be.

“Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do
God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.”
Hebrews 10:36 (NLT)

“And a righteous person will live by faith.
But I will have no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”
Hebrews 10:38 (NLT)

JANUARY 17 - God destined every man and woman for greatness, but few finish life stronger than they began. Many people started off admirably, but hit rock bottom towards the conclusion of their lives. They throw overboard their vision and purpose at the first sign of waves of opposition or squalls of misfortune. There are a few, however, who carry on in spite of all resistance.

Greatness is not defined in a meager moment. Romans considered their empire and rulers as great. But were these coldhearted leaders and egoistical empire indeed great? Their eventual destruction proves otherwise.

Although an athlete may experience a great game, it does not qualify him to be labeled as great. Only those who have a great career are inducted into the Hall of Fame. We must, therefore, pace ourselves throughout life. Life is about maintaining, not merely achieving. The individual who finishes strong is the one who ultimately succeeds. God said in Hebrews 10:38, “…I have no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” We must ardently persist and finish the race we began if we desire to fulfill the will of God for our lives.

Consecrated To God - DVD

In a day where voices and fears try to pull us in so many directions, there is a way to be steadfast and fixed on the plan and call of God. Hebrews 12:2 tells us what we must do: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…” As the sanctified Body of Christ, a people called out and set apart for a special purpose, we should be a people of great hope, expectation, and consecration.

These are the days to run to the heart of God. “Consecrated To God” ushers you to the opportunity to do just that. Watch and receive this teaching – it will provide you with a permanent silencer to the voices and fears that try to distract you and lead you away from God.

“Thy Words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by Thy name, O Lord God of hosts.”
Jeremiah 15:16 (KJV)

JANUARY 16 - How many times have you heard the often-used term, “conveniently located?” Perhaps you’ve listened as some announcer enthusiastically declared, “Our mall is conveniently located next to three major expressways,” or, “Our museum is conveniently located near all the downtown sites,” or, “The best Italian restaurant in the county is conveniently located within walking distance of the city’s scenic shoreline.” Likewise, everything we need to live a Godly life is “conveniently located” within the pages of God’s Word.

Every thought from God we could ever need to make right decisions is conveniently stored inside the book that we hold in our hands. While the life of a believer is multifaceted, the single most important part of any believer’s life is the time they devote to the study of God’s Word. Whereas singing ab out God causes great feelings, and praying connects us with our Father, it is the written Word of God that teaches us how to live a life that is pleasing to God.

We must fervently commit within ourselves that no amount of busyness is going to keep us from our time to study God’s Word. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” You must take that verse and make it your heart’s deepest desire; allow His Word, “conveniently located,” to utterly consume your mind and heart.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but

Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)

JANUARY 15 - Intellectual Greeks, proud Romans, ancient Syrians, cultured Egyptians, fiery Arabs, colorful Persians, and worldly Babylonians occupied half of Palestine on the eve of Jesus’ birth. The other half was Jewish—a divine culture split into many rival, often hostile sects. But from the beginning, Jesus lived and breathed success. Let me remind you, however, success doesn’t come because you’re a nice person or because you yearn for it. Success only comes because you achieve it. You earn success by being willing to exchange your time and effort for what you desire.

Well known author, James Allen, says, “Achievement is the crown of effort.” No significant achievement in all of history ever came without paying a significant price. The marked effort you are willing to exert ultimately determines your success. Fulfilling your dreams and achieving your goals is your responsibility. God gave you the tools, but you are the one who must build the house, which represents your life. What kind of home would you like to have—large or small? It is your choice. You are the master architect, the chief builder, and the eventual homeowner. Your life is the result of your own construction. God supplied you with everything you need in order to build a great life. The only requirement is that you must build it according to your own standards of success.

“The arrogance of all people will be brought low. Their pride will lie in the dust. The Lord alone will be exalted! Idols will be utterly abolished and destroyed.”
Isaiah 2:17-18 (NLT)

JANUARY 14 - Since Adam and Eve sinned, all of humanity has been infected with pride, contaminated as bleakly as a garden of wilted leaves. However, there is wonderful news: Christ came to cure us of that infection, which even caused Satan to be ousted from the magnificent splendors of Heaven. But how are we to conquer pride in our lives, once and for all? Well, there are two things we must do. First, we must humble ourselves, becoming as meek as young children. Second, we must willingly accomplish exactly what God called us to complete. As we continually place ourselves under His mighty hand, eventually, we will be exalted.

Prideful people customarily demand respect and admiration, but respect that is demanded is not true respect. You see, just as a doctor must earn his license in order to practice medicine, true respect also must be earned.

Humility—do you realize that is the highest virtue any man can possess? God’s Word continually tells us to humble ourselves; Jesus is our prime example. The apostle Paul explains it in Philippians 2:8, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death.” The Son of God became a human to save all of humanity. What greater example do we need? Jesus was highly exalted and obtained a name that is above every other name. Likewise, we must humble ourselves as children today, in order to be exalted as praiseworthy men and women in the future.

“But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”

James 1:22 (NKJV)

JANUARY 13 - “Didn’t he just preach the same thing last week?” the perfectly manicured wife whispered agitatedly into her husband’s right ear. Having listened half-heartedly, the man shifted in his seat, tipping his head forward, fervently trying to recall. In a few seconds, his wife leaned over again, “Did that ignorant woman at the end of our row step on your foot like she did mine, fumbling around trying to find a seat?”

Slowly nodding, the smiling husband finally remembered—it was as clear as a church bell. “Hey, I remember what he talked about last week—love. Last week, like today, he preached about loving one another.” Squirming around uneasily the wife bristled, Why did I even ask? Week after week we continually hear the Word of God, but do you realize we are to be doers of the Word, and not hearers only? I find it interesting how two people can hear the same message, but one benefits and the other does not. The prophet Isaiah tells us, “The Word of God does not return void.” This means that there is no inherent defect in the seed of the Word of God. Nevertheless, Jesus tells us in Mark 4:17-19 why the Word of God can be void in a person’s life—as a result of the condition of the soil.

In Hebrews 4 we see that the Word does not profit us because we do not mix what we hear with faith and action. God’s Word only transforms us in accordance with our commitment to hear and do what He speaks.

“…‘Do you also want to go away?’ But Simon Peter answered Him,
‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’”
John 6:67-69 (NKJV)

JANUARY 12 - If God gave us the inherent freedom to choose our destiny, then howcan other people co-workers, family members, neighbors, or just plain friends—determine whether or not we succeed in life? The truth is, they can’t. The outcome of our lives is based solely on the decisions we make. We are actually landlords of the apartment building that gives shelter to our own consequences. Therefore, we cannot blame the unhappiness of our present condition on the actions of others.

As diligent landlords, we must realize that the rewards we enjoy in life depend entirely on us. No longer must we think from the perspective of whether or not a decision is right or wrong. Instead, we must thoroughly contemplate future ramifications every time a decision is made. We can ask ourselves, “What are the long-term effects going to be if I choose this?” It’s time to learn to make decisions based on long-term consequences, rather than short-term gratification. In other words, we must pay the price today, in order to
enjoy the greatest benefits tomorrow.

In the above passage, we catch a glimpse of how our destiny is shaped by “The moment of decision.” Many walked hastily away from Jesus that fateful day, never to return, while the twelve disciples made the astute, heartfelt decision to stay and serve the One who would ultimately save them. It was a moment in time that potently determined the rest of their lives. How often do we, in the course of our bustling lives, experience such life-changing moments?
