Be creative (4)

‘Speak to all who are gifted artisans.’
Exodus 28:3 NKJV
1. God told Moses: ‘You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments’ (vv. 2-3 NKJV). Note the word ‘artisans’.
2. God gives us artistic ability you when we use it we glorify Him. Clothes ‘for glory and for beauty’ call for creativity. Stop separating the spiritual from the secular! ‘Whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord’ (Col 3:17). How do you become creative?
3. 1) By acknowledging that God made you to be creative. 2) By asking Him to reveal your areas of talent & creativity. 3) By valuing creative ideas. No matter what you currently do, or how well you do it, a creative idea will enable you to do it better. Creativity is being able..
4...to see what everybody else has seen & think what nobody else has thought, so that you can do what nobody else has done. Sometimes creative thinking lies along the lines of invention, where you break new ground. Other times it moves along the lines of innovation, which helps..
5..you to do old things in a new way. But either way, it’s seeing the world through sufficiently new eyes so that new solutions appear. ‘On the 7th day God ended his work which he had made’ (Gen 2:2). Notice that creativity involves work, which is why many people tend to avoid it
6. But if you’re willing to work at being creative, God will use you to do great things.

Have you read your Bible today?

‘From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith.’
2 Timothy 3:15 NKJV
1. People are intimidated by the Bible for any number of reasons. For some, it’s such a big book that it scares them, and they don’t know where to start. Others think because it’s such an ancient book, spans such a long historical time period, and includes so many themes, that..
2...they could never figure it out. So let’s try to simplify it. Think of the Bible as a library of books that includes 66 volumes of widely varying length, written over a period of 1500 years, by more than 40 people from all kinds of cultural and educational backgrounds.

Why pray?

‘Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.’
Matthew 21:22 NKJV
1. You say, ‘If God loves me and knows what I need, why should I have to ask Him for it?’ Because prayer means talking to God and listening to God, which leads to building a relationship with Him. Jesus said, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; & all these..
2..things shall be added unto you’ (Matthew 6:33). When your prayers are based on your relationship with God, your needs get met. When you love God & spend time with Him, His Word says: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard..no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who..

"Stealing is a bad strategy for prosperity. Getting money illegitimately will cut short a person's life (Zach 5:4-5)" This is why we have to do it right - @kennyfolarin @DaystarNG
"Stealing has a way of activating a destructive curse on your life. Proverbs 13:11 "Wealth gained from get rich quick schemes quickly disappears but he who gathers by labor will increase." Meaning all those stealing today will eventually go broke - @kennyfolarin @DaystarNG
"Many people just want to blow by whatever means. If you blow and now explode later what happens to you?" - @kennyfolarin @DaystarNG

Have you been betrayed?

1. Not only must we leave room for unexpected disappointments and unknown variables in life, we must realise that inevitably we’ll be betrayed and hurt by other people. Perhaps they deceived us into believing they were trustworthy, or they began sincerely
2...and became infected with the viruses of jealousy and greed. In either case, you’ll face betrayal at some point along the way. Even the psalmist David wrote: ‘My best friend, the one I trusted completely, the one who shared my food, has turned against me.’ And included in...
3...the list of adversities Paul suffered in his ministry, are ‘false brethren’ (2Cor 11:26). Yes, as one author writes, ‘If you live long enough, you'll discover how fickle & selfish the human heart can be.’ And it’s often the people we love most & trust implicitly who have the

Focus on the solution not the problem

As problems arise in your relationships, you’ll be forced to become a translator, negotiator, diplomat and peacekeeper. Good com skills are essential. Nothing is more frustrating than being misunderstood, misheard, ignored, or misconstrued.
2. But talking isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it empowers the problem. Our mistake is we often give too much verbiage to the issue; in other words, we talk about it when we should be quiet and focus on a solution. God has given you the gifts you need to change the situation.
3. Don’t talk about it; instead, do it! If we misuse words or talk out of hand, it can lead us away from a solution we would otherwise see. James tells us that what we say has immense power for destruction. ‘The tongue…a little member…boasteth great things. Behold, how great...

Be flexible

‘Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.’
Philippians 2:4 NKJV
1. When it comes to the truth, you should be unbending. But when it comes to relationships, you must learn to be flexible. If you always need to be ‘right’ and make the other person ‘wrong’, you’ll never enjoy stable, long-lasting relationships. One author writes: ‘We'll not last
2..together because we were never wrong. We will last because when we were wrong, we found the invincible will to correct the wrong & the grace to endure whatever it took to survive it together. Our families are never perfect, but that doesn’t mean we can"t find a way to make it
