Choose Grace Above All
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness… (2 Corinthians 12:9) One of the greatest secrets to a fruitful life is learning to value God’s grace above everything else.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14) One of the greatest keys to living a victorious Christian life is learning to recognize and respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. He lives in you, and He continually leads, guides and inspires you. […]

Build the right environment
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. (1 Corinthians 15:33) How your life turns out largely depends on what you allow yourself to be exposed to.

Refuse to Feed on Ashes
He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside… (Isaiah 44:20) Not everything that feeds your mind is good for your spirit.
