Blessed To Be A Blessing

And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. 2 Cor. 9:8 (NRSVUE) As the Lord blesses us, we should bless others. As vessels for the Lord, we are to pour out into the world as He continuously pours into us. Give generously of your time, talents and resources. Share freely kindness and compassion. We are called to be conduits of the blessings from the Lord. Let us creatively, consistently and intentionally seek opportunities to share the love of God. Always remember we are blessed to be a blessing. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Don’t Deflate- Elevate

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 (NIV) No matter what comes our way, we must place all our trust in God. Regardless of what anyone tries to do to us they have no authority over us. The only power your enemies have is the one you give them when you walk in fear of them and their antics. God is Elohim, all powerful. Always remember, you are covered and created with a purpose Today, reclaim your God-given position, don’t shrink for anyone or anything, and walk confidently in all God has for you. Stay the Course!

“Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?” – Lamentations 3:37 (NIV) We all know that there is power in words. The greatest power is from the word of God. All that God has spoken is sure to come to pass. Be careful with the words you speak. Make sure it is in alignment with what the Lord has said. Be mindful of who you allow to speak into your life. Sift it all through the Lord and the discernment of the Holy Spirit. May you walk in the abundance of all that God has declared and decreed for you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Created for God’s Purpose Not Man’s Approval

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Eph. 2:10 (NLT) Often when doing what God has called us to do, it can be discouraging when those who are closest to you show little to no support. Stay focused and don’t be distracted. There is no time to focus on the actions or lack thereof from others. What you were created to do may not be recognizableto those you expect, no matter their proximity to you. Proximity does not equal guaranteed promotion of your purpose. Stop personalizing their reactions. God is calling you to a different level and not everyone is willing or able to go. When walking in your appointment and assignment from God, you do not need the approval or applause of others. Remember, you are God’s handiwork. When God called you, and placed a purpose inside of you, He did not consult your friends, family or foes. Don’t look to them for validation or motivation. Never doubt your impact and don’t be discouraged, because whom God calls He equips. Be inspired to keep pressing forward, unapologetically, in all that God has called you to do. Do it for an audience of one out of obedience and a surrendered heart. Be encouraged to keep your eyes on the prize and press forward with Holy Ghost power and precision. If no one has told you lately, I believe in you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Agape-Love of God

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NIV) The word love is used so freely these days. Often due to the over usage of the term we can forget the magnitude of the meaning behind it. Don’t confuse the fickle love of those who have hurt you or left you with the unmatched love of God. When we think of the love of God towards us, we must not water it down or take it lightly. If we truly understood the depth of God’s love for us, we would certainly experience the fullness of joy daily. My beloved brothers and sisters, God’s love is immeasurable. He loves us at our worst, while developing us into the best version of ourselves. He created us in His own image. He pursues us with an everlasting love. There is nothing that can separate us from His love. God’s love is so much greater and deeper than anything we can ever imagine. Receive God’s unconditional agape love today. Be encouraged by the encounter of His divine touch and rest in His arms. Be strengthened by His great compassion towards you. Be reminded today, that you are loved. Let’s go and grow together.

His Providential Care

Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. Psalm 71:4 (NIV) Don’t waste your time on what the enemy is doing and the plots they devise. God sees their plans for your demise. Don’t be discouraged or dismayed. God saw your tears and heard you when you prayed. Our God is faithful and He will not allow the wicked to succeed. He knows your heart and what you need. God keeps His children safe from the fiery darts of the enemy. Let God fight your battles and watch the enemy flee. Whatever they plan against you, God works it out for you in the end. Every place where you’ve been hurt He will surely mend. He will deliver and defend you with His mighty right hand. He’ll frustrate your adversary’s plans. Your enemy is no match for God’s strong arm. He will cover and keep you safe from all harm. Even when it appears they’re making gains with their intentions, wait on God to deliver you. He’ll give you beauty for ashes for all you’ve gone through. Rest safely in the assurance of His providential and sovereign care. He’ll never leave you; for He is always near. Let’s go and grow together ADaubon

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. Phil. 4:6 (Amp.) There is so much in life that tries to keep us in a state of anxiety. We’ve all been tempted to overthink situations and circumstances. We’ve all had some concerns about the unknown or pending events in life. The reality is, God is the head of our lives. We are not haphazardly living or walking this walk. As believers in God, we must trust that he has a divine plan for our life. Every trial we go through is sifted through Him. Every storm that we will ever face is not bigger than Him. Whatever has your heart racing and your mind on repeat, give it to Him. Then trust and believe that he has already worked it out for you. Stay in your prayer closet, worship while you wait for your breakthrough and rest in your God-given peace that surpasses understanding. Press Forward on Purpose in Your Purpose! ADaubon
