Grateful People

I just recently watched a leadership conference session online from NewSpring church in South Carolina and it was Steven Furticks’ session on gratefulness that really messed me up for the better. There is one particular point that Pastor Steven raised up that has really shaken me and it goes as follows: “Grateful people can find a blessing, enlarge a blessing or create a blessing in almost any situation. But on the other hand, negative people can find a burden, enlarge a burden or create a burden in almost any situation.”

The Lord has been challenging me with this. I have had to ask myself, am I the kind of person that sees the bad in almost everything or everyone or am I able to find, enlarge or create a blessing in almost situation? What kind of person are you?

You May Have Been Set Up… (Part 2)

Sometime we get setup Because God is getting ready to move in a mighty way and you will be blessed in the process. Maybe He is wanting to make Himself known to others around you but it will take you to be setup in order for Him to show Himself through your trials.

God is always looking for someone to shine through. If asked by God, would you be willing to go through the hardship in order for Him to shine? Is your financial income more important than for God to shine? I believe that God is ready and willing to bless each and everyone of us, if only we will let His light shine through the process!

Are you willing to be setup?

You May Have Been Set Up… (Part 1)

Ever been at a point in life where everything was just hard? It seems like life is falling apart. Friends are leaving you, you get fired or laid off, money doesn’t easily get around for you, etc… What ever the situation that you went through or are currently going through, I want to challenge you today with a thought!

I want to specifically address the hard time that we are experiencing financially. I was just having a meeting with one of my worship leaders and the subject of trials and persecution came up. Then we went on the subject of the financial state that we are in as a nation. Maybe you are reading this and you have lost your job for what ever reason, I know that this may be hard to believe or to think about. You may say, well that is easy for you to say Phil because you still have a job. Please just try to hear me out.

What if… God is trying to set you up?

Honestly, just take a second and think about it. Wha if God is trying to set you up for a blessing. What if in order to bless you, God had to remove you from where you were? What if He’s got something better for you? What if you dare to believe that God is a good God? What if…?
