Lord Jesus Did Not Have to Divide the Water
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. (Matthew 14:25) Moses divided the Red Sea. Joshua witnessed the Jordan being stopped. Elijah and Elisha struck the waters, and the river parted before them. But when our Lord Jesus encountered the sea, He did something extraordinary: He walked […]
Let your character sustain your calling
And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. (Exodus 31:2) Your calling, gifts, abilities, and opportunities are valuable, but your character is what determines how you will carry them. A person can have great potential and still […]
Live Beyond the senses
For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) The Christian life is a life of faith. This does not mean that we deny reality or pretend that difficulties do not exist. It means that we refuse to allow what we see, hear, feel, or experience in the natural realm to become greater […]
The Life of Christ Is at Work in You
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) The Christian life is not a life we are expected to live by our own strength. Christ Himself is our life. His divine life is at work in our spirit, soul, and body, and His presence in us makes us more […]
Excellence is not an accident: it’s a choice!
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel… (Daniel 1:19) Excellence doesn’t happen by accident. You have to condition yourself for it.

(Proverbs 4:7) David taught Solomon that wisdom was more important than wealth, long life, or anything else he could possess. When Solomon was given the opportunity to ask God for anything, he asked for wisdom. He understood that if he […]
Develop an excellent mind
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) There is a powerful connection between your thinking and the life you eventually build. What you see around you is often a reflection of the thinking, decisions, values, and ideas of the people who built it. Before something becomes visible externally, it is […]
Condition Your Spirit For Excellence
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. (Proverbs 17:27) Being born again is the beginning of an extraordinary life in Christ. You have received the life of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in you, but you must still allow that life to influence your […]
Excellence Is in Your Spirit
And Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him. (Daniel 6:3) Excellence is not merely about appearance, achievements, or doing things perfectly. True excellence begins within. Daniel was distinguished because an excellent spirit was found in him. His excellence was not something he put on for people to […]
Live in the Flow Every Day
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself… (1 Corinthians 14:4) The flow of the Holy Spirit is not meant to be limited to special meetings or occasional moments of prayer. It is a lifestyle. Times of praying in other tongues are opportunities to build yourself up and become increasingly conscious of the Holy […]
