Are you expecting a promise from God to be fulfilled?  Are you trusting God for a financial breakthrough?  Are you facing seemingly insurmountable odds?

If so, you must make sure that your faith is strong and unmovable.  You must believe as Abraham and Sarah did and stand firm until your victory appears.

Romans 4:17-22 in The Living Bible says:

17 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say that God made Abraham the father of many nations. God will accept all people in every nation who trust God as Abraham did. And this promise is from God himself, who makes the dead live again andspeaks of future events with as much certainty as though they were already past.

18 So, when God told Abraham that he would give him a son who would have many descendants and become a great nation, Abraham believed God even though such a promise just couldn’t come to pass! 19 And because his faith was strong, he didn’t worry about the fact that he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred, and that Sarah his wife, at ninety, was also much too old to have a baby.

  1.  What you affirm…you confirm.  What you confess…you will possess.

When I was dating my fine wife Bev. . .there was a popular song by Diana Ross entitled “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

“If you need me, call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

“Well, I can’t do anything about my situation. . .it’s just my lot in life.”

When I heard that statement. . .I wanted to shout out.

“Are you kidding me?”

Do you realize how spiritually ignorant and harmful such a statement is?

“Are you listening to yourself?"

  1.  Don’t be moved by your circumstances or the appearance of lack…only be moved by the Word of the Lord.  Ezekiel 36:29 NIRV

I have heard some of the greatest preachers to ever draw a breath preach 1 Peter 2:24 with insight, passion and unparalleled anointing.

“He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2: 24 AMP

Most teachers focus  on “. . . by whose stripes ye were healed” but as I re-read the scripture, the part “. . . should live unto righteousness” ignited in my spirit.

I look up the word righteousness in the Strong’s Concordance and found that it’s the Greek word dikaiosynē (G1343) which means:

A failure to act. . .is an action that is sure to fail.

We make a decision to fail. . .when we allow fear to prevent us from stepping out of our comfort zone or from taking a step of faith.

Faith destroys fear. . .crushes doubt. . .conquers the unknown. . .inspires others. . .and makes us victorious in all our hands find to do.

If we want to do more than we’ve done. . .be more than we’ve been. . .then we need to take a risk when it lines up with His Word.

God’s Word tells us what to do. . .if we take a risk and fail to succeed.

Proverbs 24:16 in the New Living Translation says:

10.  Lack of opportunity…create it.  Lack of confidence…develop it.  Lack of education…get it.  Lack of success…make it happen.

  9.  God is more interested in where you’re going…than where you’ve been.  Your focus should be front and centered.  Phil 3:13

  8.  Your outlook today will determine your income tomorrow.

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

  5.  Confidence will take you places doubt never will.  Confidence in Him makes you a winner in life…no matter what you’re facing.

  4.  If God wanted you to live a life of poverty and lack…He would not have made you in His image and after His likeness.        

  3.  God does not change His mind…there is no expiration date on His promises.

  1.  Our response to adversity is directly proportional to the amount of time we spend in the Word.

For sports fans this is an exciting time of the year.  National Football League teams are headed to the Super Bowl...each hoping to win the Championship trophy.

College basketball is in full swing. . .each team with their eye on becoming national champions.

Major league baseball is gearing up for the start of spring training next month with each team dreaming of becoming World Series champions.

Yes, when we think of champions. . .we think of those who win sports titles. . .either as a team or through individual efforts.

It is not easy to become a champion. . .it takes determination. . .practice. . .exercise. . .discipline and, yes. . .commitment to never give up, give in, back up, back down, sit down, quit or walk away until victory is achieved.
