Interesting Quote

"God the Father bestows upon all, existence; and participation in Christ, in respect of His being the word of reason, renders them rational beings."

Financially Stressed?

Proverbs 22:7, "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender."

Tired of feeling poor? Dave Ramsey (internationally famous financial speaker and author) gives us four tips to keep control of your finances. As no one says it better than Dave himself, I have included a link below this post, for those of you who want more. In the meantime, take a look at the following items, and weigh whether or not you are accomplishing these things in your own life!

1.) If you don't start to save money, you will always be broke.

2.) Create a plan for getting out of debt. You can wander into debt, but you cannot wander out of it. You need a specific plan.

3.) Get a part-time job [if you need to]. "If a man shall not work, he shall not eat" 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

4.) Pray for blessing. Your Father in Heaven is rich in abundance. You are able to "dial him up" at any time to ask for help!

Stay in Your Lane

The excerpt below was taken from one of my good friends and spiritual mentors. Hope you enjoy it:

1 Kings, Chapter 1

These scriptures illustrate how Adonijah attempted to set himself up as King over Israel & Judah. Solomon was David’s choice, but Adonijah and his people tried to undermind David and Solomon. Adonijah decided he, not Solomon, should be King after David’s death.

He got chariots and horses, gathered his entourage, sacrificed animals, and had a big feast. He didn’t invite Solomon or the others that ordinarily would have been there, if in fact, he were supposed to be the King. When David heard this, he set things in order. He had Solomon anointed and to sit on David’s throne.

At this news, Adonijah’s entourage dispersed, leaving him alone. He was afraid because he had done wrong, so he went to the temple and held on to the horns of the altar. He knew that Solomon could have him killed for what he had done. In the end Adonijah bowed before Solomon and his life was spared.

Just like there can only be one king over a kingdom, there can only be one pastor of a church. Anyone that tries to set themselves in the office of pastor, divide the church, usurp authority and create disharmony, is asking for trouble from on high. God has something for each of us to do in the kingdom, but we can’t all be the king.

1st Corinthians 12, teaches us that we are one body with many parts. We can’t all be hands or feet, and there can only be one head. I challenge you to seek God for the assignment He has specifically for you, and then give that your best. For I also read that if you are faithful over a few things, God will make you ruler over many.

Yours in Love,

Min. Lacinda McClendon
