Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
This is the truth of the matter. You are valuable and precious to God and He loves you in detail. You and I existed in God before we were even born. Before we were even conceived God knew us. Not only did He know us but He also accepted and approved of us. Not only…
There are certain things we can be sure of. This is just one for the guarantees that God has given us. The one sure thing that you can be sure of is the fact that God knows you. You are not a stranger to God. He knows everything about you. Even the deepest longings, desires,…
You have a divine purpose. You have a redemptive purpose. This is a reason for why you were born and why you went through and faced the things that you did. With God there are no mistakes and there are no accidents. Even our mistakes and our weaknesses are things that God will use if we…
Perhaps you have developed an attitude that is a stumbling block to receiving what God has for you. What can we do about this? 1. Repent. 2. Ask God to forgive. 3. Reject those attitudes that have held you back. 4. Make your life’s goal the pursuit of God. 5. Enjoy all that God has…

A negative attitude can really rob us as individual. ‘My life will never change.’ ‘Nothing works…
When we get to the point where we just accept things and are no longer pursuing God, we stand to miss the great things that God has in store for us. It is possible to accept an attitude of acceptance: ‘This is as good as it is going to get.’ ‘I will just live with…
Pride can be a major stumbling block. Pride develops as we begin to have a high opinion of ourselves. Proverbs 16:5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Arrogance can also be seen as pride. When we are no longer humble and…
This is an attitude that can hinder us from getting where God wants us to go. We see this in the attitude of some people who believe that what people experienced in the New Testament was for then. They think that it is not for now and we live in a different era. The tragedy…
This attitude develops when we begin to think that we are right. The problem with this attitude is that it is based on our opinion and our opinion is usually based in our perception. I have found perceptions to be one of the most deceptive things in life. If I allow what I feel is…
