Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Scripture Of The Day - God's Spoils Are Great!

Posted 03-16-2021 at 10:11 AM by Albert Finch


Exodus 12: 35,36 - "Now the sons of Israel had done according to the Word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing: and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Thus they plundered the Egyptians."

When the Israelites spied out their promised land, they found the land had great spoils to be taken. There were supernatural grapes that would require two men to carry a single cluster between poles.

We must see that with God, we also have great spoils to plunder and the things the enemy has robbed must be returned. After many years in captivity, the Israelites left Egypt with a great spoil of silver, gold and precious commodities.

However, the only way we will get the spoils into our hands is seeing God to be great in the midst of the situation and relying upon Him in impossible situations. We do this by decreeing and declaring who He is and who we are in Him.

Affirmations:

I BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES--HIS PRAISE SHALL CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH.

SINCE I WAIT ON THE LORD I RENEW MY STRENGTH--I MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES--I RUN AND AM NOT WEARY.

I LIFT UP MY HEAD AND SPIRITUAL EYES TO BEHOLD THE KING OF GLORY --THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY--THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE.
