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 - December 12, 2023

Posted 12-12-2023 at 01:22 PM by Albert Finch


So long as we have a limited mindset, we will try to hold on to what we have possessed and lost. But when the Holy Spirit tells us to release and move on, we are free to go, because we know that more is on its way.

This is the mindset of abundance—the covenant mindset: You can trust in God's unlimited supply and know that more is always on its way.

Sometimes we want to settle for "enough," but God has more for us. He says, "I have enlargement and encounter for you." There is more up ahead!

The New Covenant is where we live – it is where we get instructions on how to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom -- It is our permanent address—the Father's house. And like Isaac, we too can walk in covenant and live from covenant. And when times of transition come, we can trust God to take to the next level of understanding of our Christ calling. For no one can hold us back—neither the plans of others nor the strategies of our enemy. And He will safely bring us to our destination.

And all the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ. So, within this covenant is the ultimate security; it covers every part of your life.

Today, see Jesus is waiting for you at the "well of covenant." He is your Wellspring of supply, and this transition will bring you to your place of divine appointment – of the person you are to disciple into their Christ identity.

Romans 2:8 - "Jesus will pour our His anger and wrath on those who live for themselves."
