TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Many people today don’t
realize that the reason they’re not happy, the reason they’re not enjoying
life is simply because they’ve trained their minds in the wrong direction.
They’ve programmed their minds to worry. They’ve programmed their minds to
complain. They’ve programmed their minds to see the negative. But just as we
can train our mind to focus on the negative, we can also reprogram our minds
to focus on the positive. It all depends on what you meditate on.
When we meditate on the Word
of God, we reprogram our minds. When we meditate on God’s goodness, we are
developing a right mindset. When we choose to be grateful and focus on what’s
right rather than what’s wrong, we are choosing a positive attitude. This
doesn’t happen automatically; you have to discipline yourself to focus on the
right things. You have to make a conscious effort to spend time in the Word
of God every single day until a habit is formed.
I believe that as you honor
God with your time, He’ll multiply it back to you. As you stay faithful and
focused on Him, He will direct your steps, and you will embrace the blessing
and victory He 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...
