I pray against the dream crushers in your life. Don’t allow your dreams to die because you lack resources. I pray that God provides you with everything that you need according to His will. I pray for an increase in your faith. Don’t give up on your ideas, or business plans. Keep drawing or singing. Whatever God has placed on the inside of you to accomplish, protect it. Don’t abort your destiny because people don’t like it. Cover that thing that God has placed on the inside of you and give it back to Him. If God gave you the idea or the desire, He will make it come to pass. People came against Joseph’s dream. He was an unlikely candidate to be over his brothers because he was younger. David was also youngest of his siblings. Don’t allow age to hinder your destiny. God can use whoever He wants to. Who is anyone to tell you that you are too young or to old. Look at the lives of Sarah and Elizabeth. Society and Anatomy said that they were too old to bear children, but yet they conceive...

It is easy to condemn Moses. How could he, out of all people be insecure? I mean, He talked to God in a burning bush that was not consumed by fire! God even protected him in a snake and alligator infested river! Wouldn’t you trust God if He continuously showed up on your behalf? Wouldn’t your war cry be Jehovah Nissi? God was always with Moses. Moses was never allowed to be a normal Hebrew baby because he was called out to be used for the glory of the Lord. He wasn’t allowed to be murdered. He wasn’t even allowed to be a slave. What has God shielded you from because of your calling? What had God allowed you to endure because of your calling? Do you realize that what you’re going through is because of your calling? No, Moses may not have endured what his brothers and sisters endured, but that does not mean that his life was peaches and cream. He may have been in the palace, but that does not mean that people treated him like a prince. If you look at the life of Moses, no one was...

Growing up I heard the word of God in a general sense. God loves us. We all know that God loves us right? He hears our prayers, He is a divine being, and we should go to church every Sunday. These beliefs are pretty general. I remember sitting in church and not really being penetrated by the word. I respected God. I believed in God, but I would not allow Him to have full access to me. I saw the older people around me being what I have come to know as being “transformed”. I did not understand the word transformed because it had not happened to me. I did not know, or rather I did not pay attention to the presence of God in my life. I mean His true presence. I did not really understand the realness of God until I got saved for the first time at the age of 16. I used to feel this tugging of what I now know to be the Holy Spirit pulling on my heart during the alter call but I would never go. Well, one Sunday I went. I almost felt a holy push to get up. You need to know that God can ...

Who told you everything that you believe about yourself? Don’t you know how precious you are in the eye sight of God? He created you along with all the other wonders of the world and gave you dominion over it. He allowed you to name the name the animals and the plants of the earth. God cares about your thoughts and your emotions. He allowed you to have them right? You have to be mindful of the things that you allow into your space. The moment that Eve allowed the serpent to come into her space, he got into her ear. Be careful what you listen to. When the serpent had Eve’s ear he began to come against what she knew was true. Be careful about what you believe. We cannot allow anything that is not of God to rob us of who He is, what He has taught us, or who we are to Him. The serpent wanted to confuse Eve. The devil wants to confuse us and make us believe that we are equal to God. We try to play God when we don’t consult Him in any area of our lives. We think that we have things under...

Every time I see a woman after God’s own heart walking in her anointing, I am reminded that it’s not about the husband, the accolades, or the rewards. It is the journey that will make you. All you have to do is stay in His presence. It is the journey that will inspire people, not your stuff. My bishop posted a question in his devotional that asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” That answer for me is that I want to be a woman that is found in God's presence, I want to be a woman walking in her God given assignment, and I want to be a woman after God’s own heart. I have to actually be reminded that life is not about stuff. I look at people and I measure myself and my success to them but God has a different journey for me. Life is about the journey. What have you learned? Are you teachable? Don’t you see the testimonies and the revelations that are being given to you at each phase of your process? Don’t miss it. Don’t miss the hand prints of God all over your life ...

You have to want to step into a leadership position not because of what God can do for you, but because of what you can do for God. Being an effective leader requires discipline because you now have people looking up to you. When you lead people where are you leading them to and who is your leader? I see and learn many things from the people who are and have been leaders in my life. Some of the things that I have learned have been positive and other things have been negative. Be an inspiration who lives in right standing before God. You cannot be trusted if you do not practice what you preach. You cannot tell me to be faithful in a marriage if you are a cheater. You cannot tell me to treat people with respect when you as a leader curse every time you turn around. As a leader, you have to live a life that shows the fact that God is watching you and you understand that He is your boss. Yes, we have bosses on our jobs, but the position of leadership under Christ creates a standard tha...
