TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Sometimes, in order to
embrace the destiny God has in store, you have to be willing to make some
changes in your life. You have to be willing to examine where you are and
what you need to move forward. This may mean that you need to change some
friends that you’re spending time with. Maybe they were fine for a season in
your life, but now you’ve outgrown them. This is a new season, and in order
for you to rise higher, you have to break away from relationships that are
limiting you. You have to develop some new relationships with people who are
going to pull you up and inspire you to rise higher.
And, this doesn’t just mean
separating yourself from people who are holding you back spiritually. I’ve
found that if you’re the smartest one in your group, your group is too small.
Find people who will challenge you to stretch to the next level and become
everything God’s created you to be. Remember, he who walks with the wise
becomes wise. Choose your friends wisely and don’t be deceived. Surround
yourself with people who will cause you to rise higher so you can live in the
destiny God has in store for you!

When the going gets tough do we abandon our God – do we jump ship because we are “going through” The answer is NO , as Christians we must keep the faith – even when it does not look good or feel good – you have to know its working for the good – you must learn the lesson – the season of testing – your harvest season is over – it’s time for reaping your reward – you stood the good fight - they lied on you, they cheated on you, they ignored you, your finances fell so below it’s a wonder you are still standing- and yet through it all you kept harvesting and trusting – storing up on his word and planting good seeds. The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
