Topic: Always Be Your Best.
Today’s Scripture: “But godliness with contentment is great gain”. First Timothy chapter 6 verse 6, (NIV). New International Version.
Message: After David had been anointed to be the next king of Israel, he spent years taking care of his father’s sheep. David could have thought, God, what am I doing stuck with a bunch of sheep? But David knew that God was in control, so he just kept going to work with a good attitude, grateful for where he was. Because he was content in the shepherds’ fields, he made it to the throne. He passed that test. But if you’re not content in the season you’re in, even if your dreams do come to pass, you won’t be satisfied. Discontentment will follow you everywhere you go. You have to train your mind to be thankful and satisfied with where God has you right now. Be content whether you have a lot or not. Content whether your children are in diapers or in college. Content whether you’re in maintenance or management. Pass the tests on your way to the throne.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You that I can come to You with thanksgiving for all the circumstances in my life. Help me to always see the good and to be grateful for what I have now. I choose to enjoy the season I am in and not just endure it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: I have a friend that says: “Food is meant to be enjoyed, and not to be endured”. In the same vein, I would say: “life is meant to be enjoyed, rather than enduring it”. What you prioritise determines your position, whether you’re enjoying or enduring life. As Paul asserted in today’s scripture, you shall receive GRACE to value the contentment that Christian gained from Jesus, and live more abundant life, more meaningful life with peace of mind, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
