Doubt Is The Vehicle That Leads You down The Road Of Poverty

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”
James 1:5-7 (NKJV)

JUNE 3 - What caused much of Israel to reject Jesus Christ, the Messiah? What forced the Romans to eventually crucify an innocent man? And what is the wave that tosses us to and fro?

DOUBT! Doubt puts a chokehold on any blessings God wants to bring to our lives. The moment we look upon the circumstances of our lives, we dilute the faith that we possess. When Peter focused on the fierceness of the waves and the howling of the wind, he began to sink–and so do we if we allow doubt to crowd our faith in whatsoever
God said.

If we focus on the circumstances of life rather than keep our attention on God’s Word, faith remains dormant. Doubt is given power the moment we choose to take our eyes off the truth of what God said. But faith comes alive the moment we choose to believe the promises of God, regardless of what we go through. Doubt remains powerless as we commit to live by faith and not by sight, for we are recreated in Christ to dwell there.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I bury doubt by believing Your Word. I ask You in faith for what I need, not doubting, and I expect to receive what I ask of You.

Problem Solving - CD

You might ask, “How does solving others’ problems help me to achieve the life I desire?” The answer is found in one of the powerful principles Dr. Robb Thompson shares in this series. Based on Ephesians 6:8, it states: “Whatever you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.”

Your life will begin to quickly advance as you learn how to become an answer, and not a question, to those to whom you have been assigned. Promotion and favor will chase you down as you implement Dr. Thompson’s practical yet powerful principles. Here are just a few:

• Your value to your employer is in direct proportion to the problems you are willing to solve for him.
• You will only be remembered for the problems you solve or the problems you create.
• When you solve a greater problem, you will receive a greater reward.
• Don’t try to compete with people – compete against mediocrity.

Whether you need to see advancement in your career, business, relationships, or personal effectiveness, don’t miss out on this opportunity to take your life to the next level. The only one who can stop your promotion is you!

Poverty Is Not The Lack Of Money; Poverty Is The Proof Of Misguided Money

“It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are stingy will lose everything.”
Proverbs 11:24 (NLT)

MARCH 22 - For some time, the body of Christ has identified poverty with lack of money. Just because you don’t have money doesn’t mean you are impoverished. Many times, the lack of money or what is known as
poverty is the result of years of someone misguiding their money. Those who are obedient to sow their money always tend to have more. God is a God of abundance, and He has insight as to where we should sow.

I remember years ago, when I was a young boy, hearing a conversation between my mother and father. My father inquired of my mother, “What should we buy—beer or bread?” At that time, we didn’t have enough money for both, so they had to choose between beer and bread. My mother responded, “Let’s buy beer.” It wasn’t that my parents didn’t have money. They just used their money in the wrong way. God calls us to give a tenth to our church. He calls us to feed the poor and help those less fortunate, and to sow into the lives of others for the good they did in our lives. The moment we begin to follow these instructions is when our days of lack are over. When we focus our money in the right direction, money increases. We reap only what we sow. If we don’t sow anything, we have no right to expect a harvest. How do you spend your money? Do you see it as a seed, or simply money? Do you generously give it, or do you hoard it? Does it go toward the things of God, or toward fulfilling the lusts of your flesh? Where your money goes determines whether you walk in abundance or in poverty. Poverty is not the lack of money; poverty is the proof of misguided money. The choice is yours.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am a giver. I generously scatter abroad, and I increase more. I refuse to withhold knowing it will lead to lack.
