Mighty Man of Valor Daniel was a man of character. He wanted what God wanted. His life was a life of devotion to God. He fasted, he prayed and God heard his words. Daniel was man of character and a mighty man of valor. The Bible talks much about mighty men of valor and men who had character and integrity. The Bible says that Daniel had an excellent spirit within him and because of this, he rose

You Have to Use it or Lose it "Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents" (Matt. 27:28). Did you know that the Lord is an investor and He sows by putting talents, which is money, in your hands? Therefore, He expects you to produce with what He gives you. It's not where you start off that matters - it's where you end up. Now, you may not be a five-talent guy

The Love Life "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). We often think of "laying down your life" for someone else in terms of dying. That's what Jesus did. He loved us so much He laid down His life by dying in our place so that we could live. But now, He's asked us to lay down our lives in a different way. He's asked us to show our love,

Discipline For Disciples "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" (Col. 3:1-2). Someone who has the edge is disciplined in both spiritual and physical matters. We think the only thing that matters is that we pray as much as we can and read our Bible

Faith And Patience Required Heb. 6:12 "...Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." To have patience means to have fortitude, strength, courage and staying power. Patience is the ability to stay focused over a long haul, not being discouraged just because there is a time of discomfort to our flesh and soul. The Message Bible says: "Don't drag

Friendship WisdomProverbs says, "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses." The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for good or bad. Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with

We Are Called To Stand Out, Not Blend In A majority, many times, is a group of highly motivated snails. If a thousand people say something foolish, it's still foolish.

As Your Soul Prospers"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers" (3 John 1:2). Once you begin to believe it's God's will to prosper you, you can't help but wonder how He's going to do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail? Or start floating twenty dollar bills down from the trees? No. He's going to do it by prospering your soul.

Live the Love Life "But who so keeps his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (1 John 2:5-6).There is nothing - absolutely nothing - that is more important than learning to love. In fact, how accurately you perfect the love walk will determine how much of the perfect

Well, yes, that's true, everything does happen for a reason, but let me put it to you another way. Everything happens because of spiritual laws.

Genesis 3:9 And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him Where art thou?Where Are You?It is a question asked in Genesis 3:9. Adam and Eve had just eaten some fruit from the forbidden tree and, sensing God's presence in the Garden of Eden, they hid among the trees. While they were hiding, God asked Adam a one-word question. In Hebrew that word is Ayeka? In English it means,"Where are you?"

Effective PrayerThe effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16bIn Christian theology, the word "righteous" has two applications. First, the believer is declared righteous by God because of the believer's faith (as Abraham was in Genesis 15:6). It is a legal standing, a positional perspective. Second, the believer is expected to live righteously—that is, live a holy life

Fruit of the Spirit But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" (Gal. 5:22-23).So many believers think of the fruit of the spirit as little more than a passive list of pleasant qualities that can help improve their personalities. But they're far greater than that! They're pure spiritual power.Love

GOD FEAR 3Fearing God is "the conscious awareness that God is watching everything and evaluating everything I think, say and do." God sees all. He knows all. He's evaluating all.Now that does one of two things in your heart right now. That either strikes incredible confidence: Yes, Lord I'm a clean vessel.

GOD FEAR 1The fear of God is reverential awe and respect for Him. It is a heart-felt conviction that He is not only loving and personal, but holy and just.Proverbs 14:27 says, "The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death" (NIV). Where there is no fear of God, there is no fear of divine punishment, of incurring divine wrath. I look at the headlines in our

Trouble Don't Last AlwaysLet not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me" (John 14:1). When trouble comes your way, thank God that you can go to His wonderful Word. It doesn't matter what the situation is, God's Word holds true in every situation, and God is there to send your troubles to flight when you trust Him.Now the word "trouble" here means stirred up or agitated.

But, Greek texts and some literal English translations of the Bible differentiate between the two: philo (friend); hetairos (comrade, associate, companion, partner).

Because faith is what connects you to the blessings of God. It's the force that gives those blessings substance in your life (Hebrews 11:1). And besides that, it pleases God (Hebrews 11:6).It's faith that

The Love WalkThe phrase "walk in love" expresses our entire relationship with God and mankind (Matt. 22:37-40).Paul says: "Therefore be followers of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma" (Eph. 5:1-2).Those who love God are followers (imitators) of God as His dear (beloved, dearly

WORSHIP Keeping it SimpleIf the purpose of our worship is to glorify, honor, praise, exalt, and please God. Our worship must show our adoration and loyalty to God. Jesus says in the book of John "God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." The word "must" makes it absolute. There is no other way we can worship God and be acceptable to Him. The word "must",
