  1.  Don’t chase money. . .chase God. . .then money will chase you.

The greatest gifts we’ll ever receive…other than the gift of salvation…aren’t those piled under the Christmas tree or given at your surprise birthday party.

Most of those gifts. . .eventually lose their appeal and sometimes their value.

However, everyone has spiritual gifts that only increase in value and will never go out of style.

John C. Maxwell said:

“When you find your spiritual gift, God will give you an opportunity to use it.”

Of particular focus is the need to use our spiritual gifts.

Spiritual gifts are not given to entertain us.

Spiritual gifts are not given to make you appear as some super saint.

Spiritual gifts are imparted to strengthen individuals and bless the Body of Christ.

Romans 12:1 in the New King James Version says:

Have you ever said. . .I just wasn’t in the right place at the right time?

Perhaps you said. . .my timing always seems to be wrong. . .I can’t catch a break.

Or … things didn’t work out the way we wanted. . .we were hoping for a different result.

John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach at UCLA, once said:

“Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”

How can you make the best out of the way things turn out?

It’s simple really. . .by positioning yourself for the desired result.  Here are seven keys to help you do just that.

1) Look at Every Day As A Potential Day for Miracles.

We serve a right now God. . .wanting to manifesting His power TODAY.

Miracles.

I love hearing about miracles. . .talking and testifying about them.

I love it. . .when we personally experience miracles.

I love writing and teaching about miracles.  In fact, during the past week we’ve talked about miracles on two of our Rich Thoughts For Breakfast calls.

I spend a lot of time ruminating about miracles.  Now ruminating is a good word when it comes to miracles.

Ruminating means:

“think deeply about something; think about, contemplate, consider, meditate on, muse on, mull over, ponder on/over, deliberate about/on, chew on.

My faith is always looking for God's next "suddenly."

When our faith and the ability of God intersect . . .miracles manifest.

Acts 19:11-12 in the New King James Version says:

  8.  If you’re afraid of what’s going to happen…you/re not listening to the One who makes things happen.

  7.  Never question God’s promises to you because He’s incapable of telling a lie.  Numbers 23:19

  1.  My prayer for you this morning is to attract people into your life people with a dream, a goal, a vision and an attitude for success.

Miracles attract attention.

Miracles point the sincere to Jesus.

Miracles lead the lost to their Savior.

Miracles are often verbally desired but seldom spiritually expected.

There is no such thing as a surprise miracle. . .you believe for it. . .pray for it and yes, you must expect it to manifest.

We must place our focus and expectation on miracle manifestation.  We must always be ready for a defining moment. . .so we never let it passes us by.

Here are seven keys for your miracle focus.

Over the years we’ve taught that money is for movement.  Money is a magnifier.  Money reveals the heart of the person who possesses it.

Let’s discuss the real purpose of money and how it’s to be used for the building of God’s Kingdom.

Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, said:

“Being reminded about the incredible power of God's love, and living as He intended, is the most powerful motivation to change.”

Living as God intended.

Did God intend for us to spend our lives being broke and living from paycheck to Prozac?  Not at all.

Consider this rhetorical question.

Have we given the first 100 days of this year. . .100% of our best efforts?

2 Timothy 2:15 in the Message Bible says:

“Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.”

It’s time for an honest assessment of our efforts.

Your doorbell rings. . .you open the door to find Jesus standing there. . .He looks straight into your soul and says:

“We need to talk.”

Would your spirit soar or would your heart sink?

If He sat down at your kitchen table. . .took out His iPad and began you show you a video of the events in the first 100 days of this year. . .would you be proud of what you saw?
