Praise While Preparing



“I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭138:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Happy March Everyone! Do you feel unsatisfied where you are in life right now?  


Sometimes waiting for our desires to come can be challenging. We become weary in our spirits, and filled with doubt. But God has never been a man that he would lie.



What are you doing while waiting on God to manifest your dreams. Are you showing gratitude by thanking God in advance, venting to others out of animosity, or withdrawn with frustration. Now is not the time to isolate yourself or display negativity.  


Praise God and prepare for your next assignment.


Be lead only by the Holy Spirit. Know that he hears you.
***“As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.”‭‭Psalm‬ ‭138:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do not be quick to sit before people who are readily in agreement with your emotions and your flash. See sometimes we can allow people to kiss us out of blessings. You have to be patient and allow God to develop you before he will elevate you to the next level. How can he trust you with much, when you are impatient or mismanaging the little you have now.  Used discernment.

However, if you are complaining and not listening to God, you will not have discernment to use. We all need accountability in every level and in every area of our lives to succeed and stay successful. If you continue to rely on God’s understanding and not your own, you will have accountability.


Research and gather the facts for the career or field you desire to move to. Operate only in the will of God not out of your flash. Ask God if your desires align with his will. Go where God tells you to go and be content in those seasons. God knows what you need. Therefore, do not ignore the Holy Spirit. Praise God and accept the assignment before you have even been placed in position.

Do not think about the money think about God’s purpose.


During your preparation finish up old business. Remove bad company, and negative people. You do not need to be apart of drama during your prep time. You need to be able to see and hear your future clear. Mark 2:22 NLT “And no one puts new wine into old wine skins. For the wine would burst the wine skins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wine skins.”


Praise God for your current blessing and those to come. Never stop trusting God. Walk in Mark 11:24. Ask God for what you want, believe you have and it will be yours.


Be kind during your preparation. Be kind during your exit. Never close doors unless God tells you to close them completely. If you are behind in work harder and show gratitude and respect for that position. How can you expect God to bless you with elevation of being a boss or owner of your own business, when you fail to show yourself approved as an employee. I encourage you not take for granted working for someone else. Learn as much as you can. You will need those skills to operate your business and teach your employees. Every test and trial we endure is apart of preparing for greater.

So you cannot display unkindness when you are operating in faith and waiting for God to bless you.
***“In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Like God told the children of Judah during their time of trouble he will stay with you, if you stay with him. 2 Chronicles 15:7 But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”
Cut all distraction to allow God to show you what to do.


Action Steps:
Get quiet before the Lord
Do not tell other people your plans
Seek only Godly wisdom.
Fast and Pray
Ask God for a spiritual mentor
Make sure you are sitting under a pastor who sows fruit into your life and teaches the words of God without manipulation.
Get a planner to organize your daily agenda. The more organized and structured your life is... you will see your goals and dreams clear.


Thank you Jesus for seasons of growth
He has called us to be conquers!
Love,
