HAVE A GOOD CONSCIENCE

'And herein do exercise me, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards men. (Acts24:16) Having a good conscience is being able to deal with men and women as you expect them to deal with you. An African proverb says, 'If you know that your action will cause trouble don't do it'. Everyone has a conscience, the small still voice that speaks to you each time you want to do something wrong. The challenge is that some folks choose to ignore it.

Paul wrote '... I do check myself, to have always a good conscience void of offense towards God, ... and man'. Whenever you are hurt, you feel bad about it, whenever you are cheated you feel bad, whenever you are insulted you don't like it,

Press On

'Dear brothers, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. So let it grow, and don't try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, complete ' James1:2-4TLB. Refuse to let yourself become discouraged by temporary setbacks. If you are beginning to encounter some times, don't worry. The truth is, if you find a path with no obstacle, it is most likely a path that doesn't lead anywhere important. The Bible says, ' if you faint in days of adversity your strength is small.

BE DILIGENT

  ' Ev en so, faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone' James 2:17 What you believe doesn't amount to very much unless it causes you to wake up from your dream and start working. You can't just dream yourself into what you could be. Often the solution to our problem is: Go to work. Rising above mediocrity never happens it is always a result of faith combined with works. What you don't push won't move, what you don't market won't sell. A belief is worthless unless converted into action.  Get a copy of Daily Sincere Milk Jesus said, 'I must do the work of the Father who sent me before is dark when no man worketh. Destiny is not fulfilled on a theory it takes work. It's time we start doing it and not talking about it. Biblical principles multiplied by nothing equals nothing. True faith is taking action. It is not enough to know that you know. It is more important to show that you know.  Related Topic: Break Away From Consumer Mentality Fu

Think Through It

'A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hid: but the simple pass on, and are punished.' (Proverb 22:3) Deep thinking is essential in any matter that concerns us. When you want to start a new relationship, business, job, etc it is expected that you gather enough information and be honest with yourself if you are ready to take responsibility. You are expected to be rational, logical, and analytical in your thinking. Always be bold enough to know the negative side of the information. For example, if you want to get involved in a new business deal be bold enough to ask decisive questions. It is when you gather these facts, you think through them, then you can make decisions.

Most people today are victims of wrong investments, relationships, etc all because they did not do adequate thinkin

Think Big

. 'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...' Proverb 23:4 Limited thinking prevents one from progressing. A man went fishing and each time he caught a big fish, he threw it back into the water and kept the smaller ones. When confronted, he said his frying pan was a small one and couldn't contain the bigger fish. He couldn't think of something else to do with the bigger fish. That is limited thinking. When a small idea gets into a big mind, it can produce enormous results, but if a great idea gets into a small mind, the idea will be reduced to the size of the mind.

GIVE THANKS ALWAYS

R ejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say Rejoice'. (Philippians 4:4) Thanksgiving is the attitude of a productive life. No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks. William Ward spoke wisely, 'There are three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday's mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow's problems, and ingratitude for today's blessing'. The person who isn't thankful for what he has isn't like to be thankful for what he's going to get. Ingratitude never ends. Helpful Topics: Know that you are blessed. If you can't be satisfied with what you've reached, be thankful for what you've escaped. For example, no matter the kind of house you are staying in at the moment, you will not prefer it to the best hospital in your city. Giving thanks to God brings about multiplication. Jesus when given five loaves of bread and two fishes to feed five thousand men never complained, instead He gave thanks and a miracle happened. The miracle

Seek God's Approval

' And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice' 1Samuel 15:24. Acceptance comes with great delight. Desiring acceptance has led many astray. That is why many folks today no longer live their lives they focus more on what people say and think of them. Today people post their nude pictures on their social media pages and profiles just to gain more followers and likes. Seeking to always please men and women can be very costly. A lady after dressing and going out, and nobody tells her you are beautiful, comes back feeling depressed saying to herself 'maybe I am no longer beautiful, why do people hate me? She will forget that God has already approved of her in His Word when He said, 'You are fearfully and wonderfully made' (Psalm 134:14). The knowledge of this truth, that God approves of you will give you much more confidence. He thinks more of you. He sa
