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

JULY 4 - If you want to have a successful and purposeful life, you must relentlessly fight the constant pressure of negative people coming into your life, struggling as formidably as you would a thief leaping
past the threshold of your back door. You must Stop Them — IMMEDIATELY! The only way one can maintain a stable life is through pursuit and maintenance of right relationships. You cannot afford to get involved with the wrong types of people. As we see in the above passage, Solomon warned, “He who walks with wise
men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”

That word “destroyed” does not necessarily mean dead or absent from life. It describes the death of one’s purpose. The moment you or I move toward the direction of a wrong relationship is the moment our purpose begins to fade away like the moon at dawn.

• God knew Herod was a danger to His Son.
• God realized Herod was hazardous to His plan.
• God, therefore, refused to allow even the Wise Men to continue any further companionship with the treacherous king.

And that is why it is vital to qualify every person who comes into your life. Find those who are wise. Link yourself to their life. Serve them. Help them fulfill their dreams, and watch in amazement as God fulfills yours.

Father, I thank You that I walk with wise men and I am wise, for I know the companion of fools will be destroyed.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:32 (KJV)

APRIL 16 - “That’s it…a little harder now. I know your hands are getting scratched but…just pull a little harder, a little more, and up you go… hey, you made it!” Truth is like that long, dangling rope. All you need
to do is take both hands and firmly grip your fingers around the bottom end of it and you can make your way to every other truth up the line. And each of us has that rope dangling within our easy grasp. The
only disparity is our willingness to grab on tightly, and to climb up boldly to higher truths. But:

• Will you exert the effort it takes to climb?
• Will you endure the inevitable burns of the rough rope?
• Will you cling to truth and keep climbing once you go far higher than you ever thought possible?

There is a common misconception that if I know something, then that means I do it. For example, think of a few Scriptures you have memorized. Now, ask yourself (be honest!): How well do I actually walk in the truths of those verses?

We all have places where we can grow in our understanding of truth, and most of us can start right where we are, putting into action the Word we already know. In doing so, we’ll discover what real freedom is. Don’t think it necessary to run and find the latest, biggest, most exciting truth. Just start where you are right this moment, doing exactly what you know to do.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You for giving me Your Word. I continue in Your Word and I know the truth and the truth makes me free.

“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)

APRIL 6 - As noted yesterday, the single most important factor defining your future is the relationships you embrace. Your life is built by relationships. Relationships are like those red, illuminated buttons on an
elevator: some take you up, but many take you straight down. Some take you up fast, while others take you down even faster. Whether or not you recognize it, every relationship you have takes you somewhere. In fact, these influential relationships make you the person you are today.

A good olive tree could yield from ten to fifteen gallons of oil per year. An entire grove, therefore, had the potential to influence an entire village, caring for their daily needs. And several groves influenced nations—the oil having been shipped to nearby countries, as well as distant lands. So a good relationship with olive growers was vital for everyone concerned.

Be protective of the time you give to others. Don’t allow just anyone to be your friend. Those closest to you determine the outcome of your life. Associate with those who are going somewhere in life— those who are farther along than you are today. As you do this, you will soon walk into your divine destiny!

Father, I thank You as iron sharpens iron, so I sharpen the countenance of my friends and they sharpen me.

“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.”
John 15:14 (NKJV)

MARCH 28 - God says that those whom He placed within our lives to lead us do not bear the sword in vain. If our superiors have to use the “sword” on us, we know that we did not qualify for God’s rewards.

God has scheduled the benefits I will enjoy if I love my wife as Christ loves the church. He has also scheduled negative consequences if I choose not to love my wife. That is why I don’t concern myself
with her role as a wife; that is her responsibility. My job is to make certain that I fulfill my role as husband so I can enjoy the benefits of my obedience to God!

God cannot change the consequences of our choices, for consequences are dictated by the universal law of sowing and reaping, experienced by farmers of every race, color, and creed. If we choose to be disobedient, our rebellion initiates a time bomb that will eventually explode into a thousand pieces, bringing destruction into our lives, and shattering the lives of those around us.

I realize that I strongly influence the lives of those who are close to me. If that influence is not positive, then I don’t qualify for that relationship. Knowing this to be true, my prayer is that my friends and my superiors will confront me with what must be changed. This is the humble attitude God requires all of us to consistently maintain in our relationships. Only then can we experience the reward of positive relationships.

Father, I thank You that I am in Christ and all that matters is that Christ is in me.

“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.

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

JANUARY 24 - Have you ever stopped to consider how lightning is made? The negatively charged water of a thundercloud fatefully meets positively charged atoms in the air, forming a path between the cloud and the ground. Billions of negative charges rush down this path, meeting positive upward charges that potently heat the air, resulting in the superheated glow called lightning. When lightning occurs, it may be fascinating, but unfortunately, it is often fatal.

In the same way, we are exactly like those with whom we associate. There are no greater limitations placed upon an individual than those brought about by negative relationships. When God wants to bless you, He sends a person into your life. When Satan wants to destroy you, he too sends a person into your life.  therefore, it is vital to have guidelines to enter into relationship with others. Not everyone is called to be our friend. If there are specific qualifications to enter into relationship with Jesus, shouldn’t we hold the same requirements for our relationships with people?

To have positive relations with others, we must become the person we want to attract. If we attract the disrespectful and those who negatively walk in sin, we must take a closer look at ourselves and see what we need to change. Become principally based; stand mightily for principle and keep yourself safe from those the enemy sends. The moment others begin to walk by the same principles is when they walk with us. Two are better than one (two positives that is), for two have a greater reward for their labor than just one.

“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.
