Joshua 24:15 says, “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Culture will tell you that what the majority is doing is the choice to make. And while the choice to stand for God is not the popular one, it is the powerful one. When you make the choice to stand for God you get to experience victory in Him. So make a decision about what you are going to do today. But know that where you end up in the future will not be by chance but by choice, so choose wisely.

Culture says the best way to live is the way of the world, but God gives you the choice to choose Him. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says, “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.” The decisions you make today greatly affect your destiny. You have a choice. You can choose to be obedient and be blessed or to be disobedient and cursed. The choice is yours.

John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It is very important to know who’s truth you are seeking. The enemy is always on the clock and he wants to keep you distracted. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep you from the word of God because in God’s word lies the truth. But we must stand boldly and proclaim the truth about Jesus and walk in the this truth. In doing so we become a new creature in Him and see things in a way that we’ve never seen them before.

Genesis 37 23-24 says, “And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him; and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.” Sometimes we find ourselves in the pit of our struggles wondering why and how we've gotten there. However when you have a desire and a dream to do something greater for God, the enemy will devise a plan to stop you. But you need to remember who you serve and trust that God is working it out for your good. You must believe that where you are is not the end. Your present location is not your final destination and you can come out of the pit.

The enemy wants the situations in your life to look like giants before you. He wants to trick you into believing you're not strong enough to face them. 1 Samuel 17:45 says, "Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied." God has already given you everything you need to fight the battle. His holy spirit within you lifts you above the enemy and will lead you to victory. You just have to step up with an attitude of confidence and speak to your situation with a voice of power through Christ. Your victory will be a testimony to those around you.

Every one has a voice and every one wants to be the voice you're listening to. But are you listening to the voice that really matters? Romans 8:1-2 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." When God is in your situation all things are made new. If you allow Him to be your coach in life He will lead you to greatness. It doesn't matter what you've done or what other people say about you, the presence of God let's us know it's not over. He will clean you up and break the chains that bind you. You just have to choose Him as your coach and listen to His voice.

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” We were all uniquely designed by God to complete an assignment. However, it’s important that we operate in the design in which we were created for. Identifying yourself in Him means creating a relationship with Him and allowing Him to take root in your life. There are many seeds that can be planted in your spirit, but it is His seed that will lead you to a greater purpose. Therefore we must remain committed to the process and consistent in our walk. We must know our position, know our part, and know our purpose in Him. So stick to the plan He has for you and execute it because we were all built for this.

Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” Unlike the television series The Voice, where someone turns their chair around based on a person’s performance, God does not turn His chair based on your performance. God’s chair was already turned for you and it was done so because of His love. The foundation of His love is not based on what you do but on your acceptance of Jesus and putting your faith in Him. So ask yourself, do you want to be on His team, the team of Jesus? And are you listening to the voice that really matters?

When you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He didn't expect you to keep the good news to yourself. However, He does expect you to expose your relationship with Him to others so that His kingdom may grow. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." So ask yourself, "Do I have the right training to train others? " The people around you, especially your children, are directly affected by how you live your life. And just like Jesus has been multiplied in you, you should in turn multiply Him in others so that His kingdom is multiplied. Allowing Jesus to be your personal trainer and having one on one time with God will help give you a solid foundation for Multiplication Through Training.

God has called each of us to be a fisher of men. Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are responsible for reaching out to those who are still lost.However, we aren't going to connect people with Christ if our approach is not accurate. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Kind words help to foster a connection to Christ. With kind words you begin to build a relationship with people that unlocks a door to a life they didn't know before; a God First life. So we should always consider, before we speak, if we have the "Perfect Seasoning".
