GODLY GOALS AND DESIRES

Has He [God] said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).

One key to successful living is learning to distinguish a godly goal from a godly desire. A godly goal is any specific orientation reflecting God's purpose for your life that does not depend on people or circumstances beyond your ability or right to control. Who do you have the ability and right to control? Virtually no one but yourself. The only person who can block a godly goal or render it uncertain or impossible is you.

LIVE RESPONSIBLY TODAY

Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself (Matthew 6:34).

REFLECTING REALITY

For as he thinks within himself, so he is (Proverbs 23:7).

Telling someone that they shouldn't feel the way they do is a subtle form of rejection. They can do little about how they feel. The real problem is that they have a wrong perception of their situation which is making them feel the way they do. You can't change how you feel, but you can change what you think.

WHOLENESS AND MEANING IN LIFE

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26).

EVERY CHRISTIAN'S RESPONSIBILITY

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:6,7)

OUR GREATEST MOTIVATION

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7).

YOUR UNIQUE ROLE

We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).

God has a unique place of ministry for each of us. It is important to your sense of fulfilment that you realize exactly where that place is.

UNDERSTANDING THE SUPERNATURAL

You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God (Matthew 22:29).
