COURAGE

-Courage is needed to be able to see reality as it is
-You need courage to admit you have a need.
-You need courage to change.
-You need courage to face condemnation.
Your life is made of your decisions and built by your words. Be bold, both in your words and in your actions. Success does not depend on your ability to say yes but on your need to say no to the things that seems good but you don’t need that in your life.
Many times, Satan is tempting you with things that seem good, but those things might end up controlling us eventually and push you away from God’s will in your life.
You’ll never have success in your life if you focus on your weaknesses. You can never have success through your own strength.
Your motivation must always be pure. God is The One that develops creative ideas in your mind. He gives you desires and then He empowers you to be able to fulfill those dreams.
Once you crucified your flesh:”get off the cross”. Jesus did the same. Live for Him.
All your decisions become energy. Decisions make you act. Once you take a decision, you need commitment to reach that goal.
A very important element that determines success is attention to details, because God cares about details. Write those details down so that you pay attention to them.
DECISION. COMMITMENT. DISCIPLINE. DETAILS
These 4 can be necessary ingredients so that you see fruits in your own life this year.
When you take a decision it’s good to write it down so that you stick to it.
Commit to your goal and discipline yourself to reach them. Pay attention to small details and take notes of everything you’re told and don’t seem important.
For example: “I want to God’s heart. Commit to this goal and start to study the word of God.
Let the discipline of obedience function in your life, not postponing but immediate obedience.
AN OUNCE OF OBEDIENCE EQUALS A POUND OF PRAYER.
Be like David, not like Saul. Make a change in victory, don’t be an example as of not to do.
That is my desire for you in this New Year, to make big plans because you serve a big God.
