Kingdom Character: Growing in Generosity (Part 2)

Cindy2019-03-14T17:07:33+00:00

We live in such a materialistic, success-driven world. It seems that everyone is looking out for number one – for themselves. But God calls His people to live differently: He calls us to live generously in every way, every single day. In order to honor God and live generously, our character needs to be refined and molded because it certainly doesn’t come naturally for us to want to be generous. So how do we grow in our character and increase in generosity? The Identity Connection How we relate to money can sometimes be like a 2-sided coin; on one side there’s [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Generosity (Part 1)

Cindy2019-03-14T17:08:33+00:00

Growing in generosity isn’t just about giving more; it’s about the condition of our hearts as we give. We may think that we are generous because we give to the poor, help the needy, or drop a donation in a bucket outside the grocery store. But generosity is about much more than just money. God expects us to be generous in every aspect of our lives, and this requires the development of our character. God is Generous Because God is generous, we should strive to be generous too – we should want to be like our Father. It’s all about thinking [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Humility (Part 2)

Cindy2019-03-14T17:10:17+00:00

As we grow in character, humility is one of the things that we definitely want to display more and more. We understand that our model, Jesus Christ, had a gentle and humble heart (Matthew 11:29), and He demonstrated it wherever He went. No matter the circumstances, He never lacked humility, and with his help, that’s what we need to strive for too. Understand the Dangers of Pride I think it’s important to understand some of the dangers of pride. God takes pride seriously – seriously enough to kick one of His archangels (Lucifer/Satan) out of His presence because of it! Remember, [...]

Kingdom Character: Growing in Humility (Part 1)

Cindy2019-03-14T17:11:16+00:00

We all know someone who seems to be on the arrogant side. And it’s a total turn off, right? Arrogance and pride just seem to repel people, but humility does the opposite; it’s attractive. But humility isn’t just about having the right attitude – it’s about growing in spiritual character. Humility is something that Jesus emulated, so of course, we want humility to grow in our lives as well. So how exactly do we cultivate humility? Humility Defined Before we get into how to develop humility in our lives, let’s define it. First, humility isn’t thinking you’re terrible and everyone else [...]

Give God Your Burdens

Carol2019-03-14T17:13:42+00:00

Faith is trusting that Gid will settle the accounts with those who have been unjust and unfair with you. The psalmist David wrote: "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved"(Ps. 55:22). No one travels the road of life without being affected by injustice at one time or another. But the worst thing that can happen to you is to develop victimitis. Victimitis is carrying your grudge and nursing the hurts. This only produces a whole new batch of emotional demons to torment your soul! Resentment, anger, self-pity and [...]

5 Levels of Faith

Carol2019-03-14T17:16:21+00:00

As we wrap up this series on faith, I want to share with you the various levels of faith that are demonstrated throughout Scripture. Jesus loves every ounce of faith we have, and he responds to all levels of faith…even the smallest, most meager display of faith. Tenacious faith: The woman with the issue of blood battled the crowd and dared to touch the edge of Jesus’ garment – Jesus’ prayer cloth. The tassels on his prayer cloth represented pomegranates, which are symbolic of the promises of God. She was unclean and would not have been allowed to touch a rabbi [...]

Plan A: Believe God.

In my last blog, we took a brief look at supernatural faith and how faith can become a struggle if hope is lost. So, I want you to do something for me. Just try this out and see if it works. The next time you face loss of hope, disappointment, or a testing of your faith, go straight to Plan A: Believe God. Meditate on the Truth First, search the scriptures and find out what God says about your situation and meditate on the truth of His word. The word meditate may sound foreign to you, but believe me, you know [...]

Supernatural Faith for a Supernatural Year

Cindy2019-03-14T17:20:10+00:00

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.” (Hebrews 11:1) Every time a new year comes around, I get excited. I know God has good plans for me and my family…plans to prosper us and not to harm us. (Jeremiah 29:11) This year, as I was listening to what the Lord has in store for me, I heard, "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." (Isaiah 60:1) This was His encouragement and assignment or theme for the year. When I know I am hearing from [...]
