Good
Morning!
Okay! Let's get
started on the list of GOD'S PRINCIPLES for "STAYING
POWER"!
#1.
STAY "Committed"!
I encourage you to read
Webster's definition of the words "commit, committed and
commitment". It will give you a clearer understanding about what I
am going to be sharing with you. To "commit" something means
to "entrust " that something to someone.....a "commitment"
to DO something means that you are giving a pledge or a promise to
someone. With that in mind, let me give you some Godly wisdom and advice that I
have learned from my own personal experience......Do not make any
"hasty" commitments! When people ask me to do things that they
want me to do, I tell them..."let me pray about it first".
That may seem a little "radical" to you, but you need to remember,
that Christians are supposed to "keep their word". Even though
what they are asking me to do may be a "good thing", it might not be
a "God-thing" for me at that time. Why not just pray about it
first, instead of finding out later that you are not able to do it and then
being put in a place of not "keeping your word"! Well, I don't
know how I got in to all of that, but I guess it was for someone!
Back to "Staying
committed".....when God "commits" an assignment (vision) to
you, that means that He has "entrusted" it to you...okay? So,
when you say "Yes, Lord" to that assignment, that means that you
have "committed" (promised) to do it....right? Well
then.....STAY COMMITTED! Even when you don't feel like it.... just
STAY COMMITTED! Even when it doesn't look like anything is
happening....just STAY COMMITTED! Even when it seems like nobody cares
about what you are doing...just STAY COMMITTED! Jesus was
totally "committed" to the assignment that had been given
(entrusted) to Him and it is very obvious that He was
"successful"! Remember, all of these "principles"
that I am going to be sharing is to help us be "successful" in the
things of God!
No
"encouragement" on Wednesday, but I will be back on Thursday and
I will be giving you some scriptures on "commit, committed and
commitment", so stay tuned in! ~~~~~~
Have
a Blessed Day!!
(STAY COMMITTED!)
In His Love, Luanne
