10.  Never ever get discouraged when you don’t see the immediate manifestation of God’s promises to you.

  9.  Don’t go inviting trouble into your life by the words you speak. Job 3:25

  8.  Any problem God allows you to see…He will enlighten and empower you to solve.

  7.  If you’re a high value target of the enemy…it means he knows you’re valuable to and for the Kingdom of God.

  6.  The joy of the Lord gives us the ability to look beyond today’s circumstances to a better tomorrow…based on His promises.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  Looking in the rear view mirror at opportunities you have missed...may cause you to overlook possibilities in your future.

  4.  Praying for you to think like you've never thought. Do what you've never done...be what you've never been all for His glory.          

  3.  If you don’t give up. . .failure is nothing more than the opportunity to learn a new way to do something.

  1.  There are times to speak up and times to shut up…discerning the difference will increase the length of our lives. Prov 13:3

Anne Frank once said:

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”

When God looks inside of us. . .He doesn’t see the failures of the past. . .but rather the potential for our future.

He sees potential in us. . .we’ve never seen or didn’t even know we have.

Let me ask each of us two questions.

Do we think God can create amazing opportunities where they didn’t previously exist?

Do we think. . .God has unlimited potential?

Do you feel like shouting?   You will after reading Deuteronomy 28:12-13 in the Amplified Bible which says:

“The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.  And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.”

These two verses contain seven priceless benefits. . .giving you unlimited access to the greatest treasure ever.

This unlimited treasury is available to every believer who follows two simple instructions.  Here are the seven priceless benefits.

1.         You have unlimited access to the treasures of heaven.

Let me put it another way. . .your heavenly treasure has more wealth than King Solomon, King Midas and the world’s 1,645 billionaires combined and tripled.  In fact, all that accumulated wealth would just be chump change when compared to the treasury in heaven to which you have unlimited access.

As I started writing this teaching. . .I was led to Genesis 28:12 which says:

About 4:30 this morning God stirred a question in me. . .for you. I’ll get to it in just a few minutes. . .but first.

When God wants to get something done. . .He gives the assignment to one person.

One person committed to a goal. . .His goal. . .their goals is all God needs to change the world. 

You may be thinking right now that you do not have what it takes to change the world.

If you entertain those kind of thoughts. . .I want you to know that I think you’re wrong.  The word of God says you’re wrong.  But, most importantly, God thinks you’re wrong.

Every person on planet earth has an assignment unique to them.  Yes, that means YOU.

10.  Success comes from doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

  9.  Failure is a state of mind. It's a choice a person makes. Failure is never final.

  8.  One of four things holds us back…old habits…wrong attitudes…lack of passion or stagnant ideas. We can change all four.

  7.  You are not destined to be a prisoner of your past. Hebrews 8:12

  6.  Stop speaking self-defeating words like: "I can't; I don't know how; I've never done that before” or anything contrary to the Word of God.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  Discipline determines your direction.

  4.  The revelation of God’s Word. . .will take us through whatever hard times we may be facing.           

  3.  The problem with thinking negative thoughts . . . is that we will ultimately express them verbally.

  2.  If you speak a thing often enough it becomes part of who you are and how you think. Think before you speak.

  1.  Our lives would be so much richer if we listened more to what God has to say and less about what others have to say.

General Douglas MacArthur once said:

“Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.”

Quitting and, for that matter, persistence is clearly visible to our Lord.

Revelation 2:19 in the Message Bible says:

“I see everything you’re doing for me. Impressive! The love and the faith, the service and persistence. Yes, very impressive! You get better at it every day.”

Would you believe there are seven keys in this short verse?  I thought about teaching the scripture but I was clearly directed to go in a different direction.

Persistence is always. . .the decision of winners.

Persistence, patience, perspiration and especially, prayer. . .make an unbeatable combination for success.

“The world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down in order to be right side up.”   Evangelist Billy Sunday

Perhaps we need to turn our lives right side up to achieve order in our daily existence.

The existence of order in our lives. . .will determine our destiny for good or evil.

Order is defined at dictionary.com as:

“an authoritative direction or instruction; command; mandate; to regulate, conduct, or manage: to order one's life for greater leisure.”

Personally, I prefer the wisdom of Luke 1:1 in the Amplified Bible:

10.  If you trust in money...when the first storm blows through your life...your money will be gone with the wind. Trust in God.

  9.  Pray…believe…receive. It’s a spiritual law and a Kingdom progression. Mark 11:24

  8.  Never let a grumpy boss, a lack of pay or recognition keep you from doing the best job you can wherever you’re assigned at the moment.  Psalm 75:6

  7.  The impossible becomes possible only if and when you believe it to be so.

  6.  Believe God will do what He says He will do regardless of your current circumstances or what you perceive the consequences to be.

Here are the Top 5 Rich Thoughts Nuggets of the week.

  5.  If we don’t face our fears…they will keep growing.

  4.  God is ready for you to experience a new beginning at this very moment. Isaiah 43:19.       

  3.  From the moment we open our eyes in the morning we need to begin expecting a supernatural move of God in our lives that day.

  2.  I'm really happy today...because I know that God makes the seemingly impossible. . .possible for me. Can you say Hallelujah!

  1.  Say it with me. "I am a believer...I am a receiver...I operate with Kingdom principles and under Holy Ghost power." Repeat!

“Prepare while others are daydreaming” is a powerful statement made by William Arthur Ward in his Blueprint For Achievement.

H. Jackson Browne said:

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

What preparations have you made for today?  Have you written your to-do list for the tomorrow?

Robert H Schuller said:

“Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.”

I want you to write down the next five words. . .if you get nothing else from this blog…these five words when properly applied will change your destiny.

Here it is.

Ecclesiastes 3:22 in the Contemporary English Version says:

^“We were meant to enjoy our work, and that's the best thing we can do. We can never know the future.”

According to a recent Gallup workplace study over 70% of American employees DO NOT like their jobs.  That’s not good or for that matter…scriptural.

If we settle for a job just to earn a paycheck. . .with the attitude of doing just enough to get by. . .we’ll never be happy in the job.

To me, it’s real simple. . .if you don’t like what you’re doing or where you’re working. . .stop complaining and do something about it.

Here are seven must read talking points for your success in the workplace or marketplace.

First, stop talking negatively about your supervisor or your job.

Let me ask you a question. . .now be honest. . .have you ever complained about a job, your supervisor or the management of the company?   If so, STOP IT NOW.

When you speak negatively about someone or something. . .you are empowering the enemy to further torment you.
