Everyday You Are Faced With Choices

Who Are You Gonna Call (Upon)?

          Everyday you are faced with choices that you have to make. They can be as simple as - what am I going to wear, eat, or do today or as complex as - should I marry this person, take this job or that one, etc. But did you realize that you make a lot of choices you seem unaware of? You will make choices that determine your day, your week or even the rest of your life, as well as choices that determine how you handle situations and crisis in your life.

          Everyday you make a choice to submit to either God or the devil. I bet you didn't see that one coming! J More times than not, without even realizing it, you submit to the devil and his works of darkness.

“What”?!! you say, “But I’m a Christian and I go to church every time the doors are open! I work at the church, I volunteer, for heaven’s sake I teach Children’s church! How can you say such a thing”?!!

Very easily…do you want to know how? By listening to what comes out of your mouth between the “Praise the Lord!” and “Hallelujah’s!”.

You see…if what comes out of your mouth is contrary to the Word of God and what He says about your situation, then you are bringing yourself into submission to satan and allowing the works of darkness to operate in your life.

What you need to do is keep your mouth SHUT until you have heard from God about anything - from how your day should be ordered to what He wants you to speak over your body when symptoms of sickness try to come against you, to what you should say to the person that is right in front of you yelling at you for whatever reason, etc.

Every night you need to seek the Lord and inquire in His temple for the next day. Ask Him to show you how He wants you to handle what may come the next day or in the weeks to come. Ask Him to let you hear what He would have you to speak over people or situations that would arise. Ask Him to prepare you and equip you so that you will not fall prey to the tactics the enemy of your soul will present to you that day. 

Read in John 5:19, 30 about what Jesus did. Something a dear friend once said to us has impacted us greatly. He said “Jesus prayed and sought the Father at night and commanded (or carried out what He saw and heard) during the day”.

God wants you to be prepared as a good soldier to fight the good fight of faith. Declare with your mouth that which brings life to your body, to your family – those you love, to your finances, to your job, to those around you.

How can you prosper in ALL things if you are constantly speaking death to those you love, speaking that you feel sick and agreeing with the symptoms, complaining about work and the people there, etc.

James 3:3-18 talks about the tongue and how it affects your life and the lives of those around us.

Bring your tongue and every part of your being into submission to God. Resist agreeing with satan on ANY level and he must flee. Draw near to God every day and He will draw near to you so that you can be a BLESSING everywhere you go and to whomever you meet!         

(James 4:7-8)

What Do People See When They Look At You?

Genesis 39:3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Potiphar could actually see the Lord was with Joseph. Joseph was just a slave but the Lord was with him. Joseph exhibited the outward manisfestion of God's blessing because the Bible says "LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand". The Bible goes on to say - Genesis 39:4-6 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. Do people see the Lord in us? Do we exhibit the traits of Joseph? Remember he was just a slave but Potiphar saw something special in Joseph. People today, like Potiphar, are looking for Christians that are true and who actually manifest the blessing of God. They are more than willing to put us in charge. Joseph's main focus was God and this evidently led to him becoming 2nd in charge. Let's be like Joseph and show the world the God we serve!
