Taking charge of your life!
- The status quo may be much less than what you see in the Word of God.
- You may think very little of yourself, or you may have gone through life situations that have left you deeply disappointed.
- … or it could be, that due to other reasons you’ve taken the “back seat” in your own life.
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)”
Romans 5:17 KJV
By grace, and by the gift of righteousness we are lifted to a place of authority to live the ABUNDANT LIFE (John 10:10).
“And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 1:6 KJV
Don’t let your situations overtake you, instead be an overcomer in the midst of them!
Take charge of your life!
Stop gossiping, talking behind people’s backs. Focus on your own life, family, your own assignment and the people God has entrusted to you.
With these 3 things you’ll become an overcomer:
- The Word of faith in your heart.
- Victory on your lips.
- Your feet moving in obedience.
We can, and we should be there for others who are facing difficulty, and unexpected situations.
Show love and care for others.
- Attend to your own heart. (Prov. 4:23)
- Build your own faith. (Rom. 10:17)
- Speak victory with your voice. (Mark 11:23)
- Take ground with your feet. (Jos. 1:3)
- Love. Act. Live. Give.
Start where you are at, with smaller things.
Have a vision/dreams for bigger things.
Take charge of what has been trusted to you!
One day we will give an account of what has been trusted to us! (Heb. 9:27)
.. and remember that everything flows from your relationship with the Lord (John 15). Without Him you cannot do anything!
