Put God first - always! Those in the Church should expect difficulties! Acts 14:22 firmly states: “Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God”. We must never allow problems to get the better of us – if they do, simply put, God is not first in our life! The Apostle Paul wrote “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to be in plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength” (Phil. 4:11-13 NIV). God will never leave nor forsake us (Heb 13:5). He will always deliver us (Psalm 34:19) if we put Him first in our lives! Satan wants us to focus on the negative in any and every situation. If and when we allow this to happen, fear, anger, insecurity and so many other negative emotions over take us. Discouragement ensues and Satan wins a battle. God’s way is that of looking for the silver lining in every dark cloud. This resists Satan, gets us closer to God and helps us win the war! Let’s use the tools God has placed at our disposal, and do all we can, to take on and exude His emotion of COURAGE! This month God will visit your home,business and all areas of your life and you life shall never remain the same. Happy new month.
