In what might seem to be difficult economic times and an uncertain future ahead of us, there is one thing that will always guarantee provision, no matter what the circumstances are, and that is giving away from what you have.
Just like a farmer doesn’t consume all his seed, but sows part of it back into the ground for next years harvest, we should also be constantly passing on to others a portion of what we have obtained from our own harvest.
Not only money, but also from your time, and especially from the(more…)
Although human beings are intrinsically social and gregarious, there are moments when the community we live in does not fulfill its role of reinforcement it is supposed to have. It is then when people have to deal with feelings of exclusion and loneliness.
When these feelings of rejection are not appropriately dealt with, they have a paralyzing effect on the personal growth of the affected person. Lack of self-esteem and boldness will inevitably lead to a life of failure and underachievement.
If you are struggling in this area, here are some powerful thoughts that will help you confront those feelings of loneliness and rejection successfully:(more…)
Human needs hurt and hurt demands attention. People who are conscious of their hurting needs are prone to meditate about them throughout their day. Ultimately all their life starts to evolve around their unmet needs and they have fallen into the trap of self-centeredness without realizing it.
When you give too much attention to your unmet needs, you automatically magnify them. After a while they’ll seem so huge to you that it will seem impossible for you to ever have that requirement in your life satisfied.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2. Timothy 1:7)
You know how it is when you lack self confidence: you have this great idea, you know it is a good thing to do, you are certain that it will benefit you and others. But you can’t get yourself to step out and do it.
After your mind has gone through the usual tug of war, you decide to leave it for “later.” And then it is filed under the innumerable unaccomplished projects you didn’t dare to pull off.
Here are 5 steps to always walking in triumphant self confidence:(more…)
Most recipes for success recommend us what to do without helping us deal with the biggest obstacle for success each one of us has: our mind-set. The problem is that the vast majority of people think wrong about themselves.
And it is that poor self-image that will always stand in their way to achieving success. That is why God has given us His unfailing success formula:
Number 1: To Be
Most people have a poor self image because they are totally ignorant about who they really are. God designed each human being for greatness. Yes, there is a genius in each one of us. He created us with a unique set of talents and gifts and designed a perfect plan for us to walk in.
For those who are struggling with lack of self-esteem: here are three classic self-esteem killers I learned to overcome:
Number 1
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Our society has erroneously taught us that mistakes are bad. In reality, they are most powerful learning tools. We learn a lot by making mistakes.
Do learn from your mistakes and then keep on going. Don’t throw in the towel. Successful people make a lot of mistakes. They learn from their mistakes and acquire valuable wisdom that way.
Number 2
Don’t compare yourself to others. We sometimes have the tendency to think that others have everything figured out. That is(more…)
Condemnation is able to powerfully rob you of your God-ordained blessings. When people feel they don’t deserve to receive from God, their faith won’t work and their lives stall. That is why it is the enemies most effective weapon to keep us from walking in victory.
I am always shocked by how many Christians are tormented with feelings of condemnation. Some mistake they made in the past, or a relationship they blundered up, or just simple every day sin consciousness hovers over them like a dark cloud that won’t allow the sun to shine in their lives.
But the good news is that Jesus came to solve that problem. That is what the Gospel is really all about. He came to pay for our sins so that we could become righteous before God. He legally removed our unworthiness and made us deserving of all God wants to bless us with. And the Bible says it was forever.(more…)
Prosperous men and women throughout history have stumbled upon a hidden law of guaranteed success: The power of giving. Jesus Himself said that giving was more blessed than receiving. Every time a person acquires the vision of serving others before serving themselves, a powerful blessing is released.
Contrary to common belief, most rich people are not greedy and dishonest. You can acquire wealth in those ways, but that wealth will come at a very high price. If you focus your business first on (more…)
