Love Never Fails

26. In your living don’t let hate be your fate instead let forgiving be a part of your living.

1Corinthians 13:8

Love never fails

1John 4:8

God is love.

Psalm 136:26

His love endures forever.

Remember people are not perfect. They have a love that ends and will fail you.

God’s love never fails because He is love and He is perfect. Peoples love is usually

Conditional God’s love us unconditional. Peoples love runs out God’s love never ends.

People will leave you and forsake you but as it says in.

Joshua 1:5

He never leaves us or forsakes us.

God is always with us no matter where we go. Why because He lives within us.

 

 

 

God’s Ability

27. Being God’s leader means you have availability, accountability, and responsibility with God’s ability to do the impossibility.

1Samuel 34-38 34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,

35 I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

37 And David said, Jehovah that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and Jehovah shall be with thee.

"I can't go in these," he protested to Saul. "I'm not used to them." So David took them off again. 40 He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them into his shepherd's bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, he started across the valley to fight the Philistine. 41 Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him, 42 sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy. 43 "Am I a dog," he roared at David, "that you come at me with a stick?" And he cursed David by the names of his gods. 44 "Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!" Goliath yelled.  45 David replied to the Philistine, "You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! 47 And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us!"  48 As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him. 49 Reaching into his shepherd's bag and taking out a stone, he hurled it with his sling and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath stumbled and fell faces down on the ground.  50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with only a sling and a stone, for he had no sword. 51 Then David ran over and pulled Goliath's sword from its sheath. David used it to kill him and cut off his head.

David knew how much ability he had in of himself but he also knew how ability he had in God.

He used his faith he called things that be not as though they were

Romans 4:17

 

 

Serve The Lord With Gladness Not Sadness

28. In your serving do it with gladness not sadness.

Psalm 100:2

2 Serve Jehovah with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

If you are serving the Lord in the church with an attitude of sadness you either

You need to change your attitude or find something you can do with gladness.

Find out the plan God wants you to do then you will be anointed to do it and happy

When you do it.

 

 

 

What Is Your Lifestyle?

29. Don’t be down with your frown smile awhile and let that be your lifestyle.

Proverbs 17:22

A merry Heart does well like medicine.

A sad heart will sometimes make sick so why not change the way you’re feeling

And be merry then you will have happy heart. This will even cause you to

Feel better physically.

Change your lifestyle and quit frowning and star smiling.

 

 

 Embrace God’s Great Grace

30. Embracing God’s great grace will help you to keep your joy to run in His race.

       Embracing fear will cause that grace and joy to disappear.

Philppians 1:6

6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

James 1:2-4

2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;

3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.

4 And let patience have (its) perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

So what are you embracing Grace or fear?

I have heard said

Grace is God’s grip on us and faith is our grip on God.

 

 

Serving God

31. When serving God don’t have negative commotion in your emotion and God will give you a promotion.

Psalm 100:2

2 Serve Jehovah with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Joseph served the Lord with gladness no matter where he was even in prison.

Check your attitude on how you are serving God.

Serve the Lord with gladness not sadness.
