Have you ever said “I’ve had it. . .that’s enough. . .I can’t take this anymore?”

Perhaps you were referring to an ungodly and/or unqualified supervisor.

Was your exasperation directed at a family member who seems to be in one crisis after another. . .constantly making wrong decisions?

Is your frustration over a seemingly never ending flood of bills coming into your mailbox?

How do people respond to these troubling scenarios?

Actually, one of three ways:

First, you get in the flesh. . .and say or do things. . .you wish you hadn’t.  However, once the cat is out of the bag. . .it’s tough getting it back in.

Brother Kenneth Hagin in talking about believers once said:

“Bless their darling hearts and stupid heads.”

Sometimes I’m amazed at what comes out of the mouths of Christians.

I’m talking about people who love God with all their hearts.  People who are in church every time the doors are open.  People who will no doubt go to heaven.

But sometimes they say things that are just stupid. . .spiritually speaking, of course.

For instance. . .

10.  When you increase what you know. . .there is no limit to where you can go.

  9.  In God’s economy…your prosperity isn’t based on what others do…but rather what you do.

  8.  If you’re tempted to talk about all the things that went wrong today…don’t. Instead praise God for what…didn’t.

  7.  The enemy feeds on fear and doubt. It’s time we starve the rascal to death.

  6.  In God’s economy…our success is never at someone else’s expense.

  5.  God will never outsource or downsize His promises to you…regardless of what’s happening around you.

  2.  View every person you meet today as a divine connection or someone to pray for…either way…you win.

  1.  Satan never showed up in the Garden of Eden until Eve did. He is terrified when two people come into the power of agreement.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 in the Message Bible says:

“After looking at the way things are on this earth, here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that’s about it. That’s the human lot.

“Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work.

“It’s God’s gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. . .”

As we read, re-read and re-read theses verse again. . .we knew God was giving us a powerful revelation we were to share with His children.

Here are seven questions about God’s plans for us.

1.  Where do you want to go?

The key to success is to determine why you are where you are. . .where God wants you to be. . .create a plan to get there. . .and start where you are with what you’ve got.

Have you ever talked with a job recruiter?

While I've never had to utilize the services of a professional recruiter . .  . I do find what they look for in recruits to be fascinating.

Thirty plus years ago, I had my insurance company marketing offices in the same building as a staffing agency and I found their profiles interesting.

Have you ever wondered about God's profile for those who fit His criteria for Kingdom service? 

There are many possibilities but I'm only going to share seven keys to effective Kingdom service.

1.  Mentally alert.

If you want to be a leader in the Kingdom. . .then you must be mentally alert.

Prayer keeps you alert and focused on your purpose.

1 Peter 1:13 in the Amplified Bible says:

10.  It’s not what you know but what you do with what you know that makes you successful.

  9.  If we aren’t happy on the inside. . .neither wealth nor poverty will make it so.

  8.  Be the one who initiates change . . . even while others hesitate.

  7.  A foolish man wastes money...an ordinary man spends money...an intelligent man invests money and a wise Godly man sows money.

  6.  I'm not a self-made man. . .I'm a God-made man.

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

  5.  If money does not serve the Kingdom of God. . .it prostitutes its purpose, seduces its owner and violates Kingdom principles.

  4.  Paychecks, bonuses, promotions and unexpected riches are the tools God uses to bless us for putting His Kingdom first. Matthew 6:33

  3.  Don’t let people you’ve known in the past. . .keep you away from your future.

  2.  God has a bright future planned for you. . .don’t miss it by living in the past and refusing to change for the future.

  1.  Haven’t spent 1 minute in 20 years worrying about who the anti-Christ is. More interested in discovering who I am in Christ.

Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady of the United States, once said:

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; and small minds discuss people.”

If you’ve got a great mind. . .focused on ideas. . .raise your hand.

Yes, I know we can’t see you but. . .God can.

And He’s the One that counts.

People who think about and act on ideas. . .are the ones who become winners in life.

Henry Ward Beecher once said:

“The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.”
