COMMANDING YOUR MORNING

-

 MANY ASK ME WHY ARE YOU EVER SMILING AND FULL OF ENERGY?


My Answer is, I command my morning.


HOW?

1. PRAYER 

Pray specific passages. Scriptural prayers as well as a number of Psalms lend themselves well to this purpose.


a) Let every evil spirit seeking to frustrate my day and my assignment be thwarted. In the name of Jesus, amen.


b) Father, I anticipate the good things You have prepared for me today. Bring complete order to my day as I seek You first and make Your will my priority. I rejoice in the new day You have given me. I praise You for making it fruitful and productive. Thank You for teaching me ways to increase my effectiveness— to work smarter. I work according to Your agenda and perform for an audience of one—the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’s name, amen.


c) Protect me, My family, my workplace, my colleagues, my seniors and leaders, my nation and anyone who knows me or who I know 


2. PRAISE

Start your prayer hour by praising the Lord. Praise Him for things that are on your mind right now. Praise Him for one special thing He has done in your life in the past week. Praise Him for His goodness to your family.


2. WAIT

Spend time waiting on the Lord. Be silent and let Him pull together reflections for you.


3. CONFESS

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you anything in your life that might be displeasing to Him. Ask Him to point out attitudes that are wrong, as well as specific acts for which you have not yet made a prayer of confession. Now confess that to the Lord so that you might be cleansed.


4. READ THE WORD

Spend time reading in the Psalms, in the prophets, or passages on prayer located in the New Testament.


5. ASK

Make requests on behalf of yourself.


6. INTERCESSION

Make requests on behalf of others.


7. THANK

Give thanks to the Lord for the things in your life, on behalf of your family, and on behalf of your church.


8. SING

Sing songs of praise or worship or another hymn or spiritual song.


9. MEDITATE

Ask the Lord to speak to you. Have a pen and paper ready to record impressions He gives you.


10. LISTEN

Spend time merging the things you have read, things you have prayed and things you have sung and see how the Lord brings them all together to speak to you.


11. PRAISE

Praise the Lord for the time you have had to spend with Him and the impressions He has given you. Praise Him for His glorious attributes.

TOMORROW ...... PROCRASTINATION

-
Image
Procrastination is the act of delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute, or past their deadline. Some researchers define procrastination as a "form of self-regulation failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks despite potentially negative consequences." It's Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking. You're working furiously to complete a task before the five o'clock deadline, while silently cursing yourself for not starting it sooner. How did this happen? What went wrong? Why did you lose your focus? Well, there were the hours that you spent re-reading emails and checking social media, the excessive "preparation," the coffee breaks, and the time spent on other tasks that you could have safely left for next week. Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone! Procrastination is a trap that many of us fall into. In fact, according to research and speaker Piers Steel 95 percent of us procrastinate to some degree. While it may be

LIFE PLAN

-

Remember when we were younger, and people used to ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up? It may seem silly to ask an eight-year-old what they hope to do with their life. But maybe this small talk was also a way to get us to think about what we wanted from life. And most of us answered this question with confidence, revealing our hopes and dreams. However, as we grew older and learned how to manage the curveballs life threw at us, we might have lost sight of what we once hoped to become and achieve.  If you catch yourself daydreaming about how your life could be different or maybe just need a better outlook for the future, look no further.  We will cover the basics of life planning, identify strategies and goals to think more about, and learn some tools to get our lives moving on a better track. Ready, set, go. What Is Life Planning? (A Definition) I have a question for you, dear reader. What do you want to be when you grow up? I won’t be upset if you rolled your eyes or let out a

Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else’s. This is to
