You Shall Not Die...But Live!

For anyone who's going through something right now...this is your word:

“I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.” Psalms‬ ‭118:17‬ ‭

The devil should've killed you when he had the chance!

Your enemies TRIED...they LIED…& you were DESPISED! BUT GOD... PROTECTED you, DIRECTED you & VINDICATED you!

Go ahead & PRAISE Him! 

Leadership 101 - Eleven Nuggets

God has a FRESH ANOINTING for you today!

I Don't Need A Great Assignment To Experience A Greater Anointing

When David was anointed by Samuel, he didn't get booked on TBN, start a 501C3, or sell gift offers on his website. He went back to his assignment...tending sheep. (The same assignment that had him left out of the initial meeting.)

Don't confuse the fresh anointing God gives you with the activity you wish to receive. God may be trying to grow you, like He did David, where He gave him things in the field that made him right for the fight.

When you keep doing what you do, you will become the person that God always knew you were. It's not always something new...it's usually the same thing you've been doing with a greater anointing & awareness of God's Spirit at work within you!

Making Wise Decisions

Criticism

1. Guess what? If you’re going to LEAD, you’re going to be CRITICIZED. If you haven’t been criticized yet, then you haven’t been leading very long …OR you haven’t heard about it yet! 

2. Every leader will face the SHIMEI SPIRIT. (2 Samuel 16) You will have to endure NAME CALLING & STONE THROWING. 

3.  Through a process of TIME & TESTING, God will position ARMOR-BEARERS around LEADERS who possess an ABISHAI ANOINTING. (2 Samuel 16)

4. Your ability to take criticism can MAKE or BREAK you. No one is indifferent to criticism! It causes you to respond either positively (growth & maturity) or negatively (bitter & resentful).

5. LEADERS are more subject to CRITICISM than any other people. Criticism is something you can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing & being nothing. 

6. It will COST you, to be a LEADER. If you’re willing to STAND OUT from the crowd, you’re putting yourself in a VULNERABLE position, so count on some form of criticism!

7. The question is not, “Will I be CRITICIZED?” but “How will I HANDLE & LEARN from criticism when it comes my way?"
