Daily Bread: Living daily A life full of abundance and purpose

In the year 2119, in just 100 years from now, every single reader of this piece will be underground, our bodies having become part of the soil. During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us. Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become rags for others and replaced by more recent trends, our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others, also replaced by more advanced technology. As for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again. How often do you think about your great grandfather? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind? Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countless generations after us. Every generation that passes through this ...

Pursue Worthy Counsel. “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety,” (Proverbs).   Someone knows something you need to know. Something that can help you survive and even succeed in the most painful chapter of your life. Ignorance can be deadly. Don’t risk it. Whatever you do today, take the time to listen to Godly advice. True champions do.

Don’t Panic.  “Be still, and know that I am God,” (Psalm 46:10). Something may happen today that shocks you. Don’t worry about it. God anticipated it. Remember, satan is merely an ex-employee of Heaven. God knows him quite well. He fired him. Get alone today in the presence of God. Fear will die and courage will flourish.

Return for Repair. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool,” (Isaiah 1:18). When you receive a product you have ordered through the mail, it may arrive damaged. You have to return it to the manufacturer for repair. Your life is the same way. Sometimes the painful experiences have left us damaged. Only God can truly repair us. Don’t be afraid of God. Dare to reach for Him. He loves you far more than you will ever know

Do something Right today “If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land,” (2 Chronicles  7:14 ). It is easy to impress God. Just do something right. Follow His instructions. Those instructions may come through His Word, the inner voice of The Holy Spirit, or through men of God in your life. Attend church faithfully. Tithe consistently. Pray daily. Read the Bible habitually. Witness to someone about Jesus. Those little golden hinges swing huge doors to miracles. Get started…NOW. Humble yourself. Reach. You will succeed.

Your place of assignment “And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith...And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there,” (1 Kings 17:2-3, 8-9). Never Stay Where God Has Not Assigned You.  You are geographically designed. This means that your nationality, your race, sex and even where you were born were decided by God. You are geographically assigned. This means there is a place, a city, a location where God wants you. There…is where you will flourish and succeed. Elijah was sent to the brook. There he was reassigned to the widow of Zarephath.  Each Instruction From God Is   Linked To Your Assignment.  Your financial provision is waiting for you at the place where God has assigned you.
