1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NKJV

"Oh, that you would bless me indeed!" was the prayer Jabez prayed to the God of Israel. Jabez understood that his name and reputation from a painful experience by his mother held nothing good. However, Jabez prays that the Lord change what had been placed​ upon his life and asks God to enlarge his territory.

Perhaps your past has given you a certain reputation, it's time to pray to God and ask him to enlarge your territory. God Bless you!

Sometimes, serving can be the hardest part in a world that teaches it is always about you before others. In the Kingdom of God, the Lord stated, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all" (Mark 9:35 NIV).

As you listen to today's Podcast, allow the Lord to move within your Spirit and encourage you to serve.

When Jesus asked the question "Who do you say I am?" to Simon Bar-Jonah who would later be known as Peter, he was testing Peter to see if he could recognize the Messiah before him.

Many times in life we have the Lord right before us but perhaps because of our lack of time for him, we don't recognize him. Today, the Lord is asking you...Who am I to you?

Matthew 27:62-66

The Pharisees and the High Priests attempted to make our God look like a liar and prevent the Lord from rising shortly after his death. The one thing that they couldn't stop was the Lord's declared word. Once God declares something over you and your life, it's final! These Pharisees and Sadducees represent people in your life that don't want to see you grow and accuse you.

It's time for you to tell them "You Can't Stop Me" for what God has declared upon your life is f​inal!

It is not the Lord's will to live a life that is wrapped and bound by the past. God desires you to live free and whom he has set free is free indeed. Loose whatever you have allowed to stay over the years and command it to go in the Name of Jesus Christ!

A small excerpt from today's message...

When your focus is on God's presence on the mountain, you won’t care to spend time in the Valley!!

Your mountain is where you encounter the Holiness of God, it's that personal intimacy you spend with him. The valley is where your struggles exist. Get out of the valley! Get your mind out!

In your problems and struggles, God is still greater! Go higher than​ you ever have in Christ! Grab God's attention through your Praise by having a different Spirit.

​Jeremiah 1:1-5

Jeremiah had been called by the Lord for a strategic purpose. His reaction to God's calling upon his life is one that we can all relate too. He focused on his physical inabilities and logic to help him disqualify himself from the calling. God knows all things, and it is he who qualifies those he calls. You are not Too Young For The Calling!

Deuteronomy 1:5-8

Anytime water stays still for a long period of time it becomes stagnant. Many of our lives today have taken a stagnant approach just like the Israelites. God has better plans for us and has promised us great blessings, but we have to move.

You've dwelt there in that situation long enough, move out!

2 Timothy 4:1-5

The Word of God states that we are to preach the Word which is The Gospel of Jesus​ Christ. It speaks of times where men will pursue their own fleshly desires and seek to turn from God. Paul commands that we be watchful in all things...in our terms today....BE READY! In season and out of season!

I challenge you to find time this week to spend in his Word. Make time.

1 Kings 19:1-4
