A few days ago, I was rejoicing about how God reaches out to us. . .in so many ways.

God reaches out to us when we’re distressed.

2 Samuel 22:7

“But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.”

“Order in the court” is a phrase you’ve probably heard frequently if you’ve ever watched legal dramas on television or at the movies.

In fact, Law and Order was one of the longest running series on television.

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 which says:

“Since [as is well known] many have undertaken to put in order and draw up a [thorough] narrative of the surely established deeds which have been accomplished and fulfilled in and among us.”

Here seven reasons why order is key to your personal success.

10.  God is not trying to get into your business…instead He wants you to get into His way of doing business.

  9.  God’s desire is to expand your territory…enlarge your borders…move you from where you are to a new level of success in Him.

  8.  Purpose in your heart to think beyond your imagination so you don’t limit God…in what He really wants you to do in your life.

  7.  Fear flees when confidence in God’s Word shows up.

  6.  You may be traveling through enemy territory but God is bringing you into a fresh place where you will LACK FOR NOTHING.

  3.  Obedience to God’s word isn’t conditional or situational…you either obey it or you don’t.

  2.  God will never allow you to see something without giving you the ability to accomplish it.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  When you praise God…you change the spiritual atmosphere wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.

Just over a week ago, I started writing “7 Keys To Supernatural Favor.”

Almost immediately, I wrote down seven key points I felt the teaching would be built around.  Here are the seven keys.

# 1  By believing in and expecting continual supernatural moves of God in your daily life.

# 2  By doing what you say you're going to do. . .when you say you’re going to do it.

# 3  Being a person of integrity even when no one else is around.

# 4  Being a person of character instead of being a character.

It was an early morning when the Lord began this rapid fire succession of the seven worst things a person can do. 

I try to be a positive person but the truth of the matter is this… there are some things we just don’t need to do!

I knew in due season He would help me put meat on these bones to pass along to His people and here it is.

# 1       Not believing

There is an old saying. . .if you don’t believe in something you’ll fall for anything.

More properly said, if you don’t believe in the Word of God then you’ll more likely fall for the tricks, traps, lies, deceptions and wiles the enemy throws your way.

10.  Spend more time in His book…and you’ll never have to worry about your checkbook.

  9.  A successful man can buy his wife everything she wants and pay cash for it.  A successful woman knows where to find such a man.

  7.  Your actions and reactions reveal the depth of your faith and the strength of your character.  James 2:14 NLT

  6.  What happened to you in the past…doesn’t give you an excuse for your behavior in the future.

  5.  Think about and act on this quote from Charles Dickens “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

  4.  Hanging around with the wrong people…makes it easier to compromise your principles.  Exodus 34:12 TLB

  3.  Money is neither good nor bad…it’s neutral.  It just reflects the mentality and character of the person who possesses it.

  2.  Money allows you the opportunity to live your life the way you want but a lack of money forces you to live your life the way others want.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  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.

I’ve been teaching people how to get out of debt for 20 years.  I was doing so before it was cool, fashionable or even profitable.

Over the years, I’ve resisted the temptation to align myself with financial planners, insurance agents, real estate brokers and others in the financial professions to make money off referrals from those who follow this ministry.  I have at times recommended them as good … but not for a profit.

The Bible is an instruction manual for success. . .revealing how to walk in God’s blessing flow and experience the good life He envisions for us.  It’s all in the Word.

10.  Ask God tonight for direction on unclaimed wealth, unknown ideas and unused potential.

  9.  God will never bless what He hasn’t approved.

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

  5.  If you’re under attack…understand the enemy is paying attention to you…because he recognizes your potential for the Kingdom.

  4.  Don’t let a negative doctor’s report seize you with panic.  He reports facts but facts can change.  Jesus the Healer never does.

  3.  Sowing seeds as God directs…takes the limits off your income.

  2.  If you focus on how bad things are…you will attract more of the same.  Speak the Word to things not as they are but as they can be.

And the # 1 Rich Thoughts Nugget you selected is:

  1.  Don’t be moved by your circumstances…or the appearance of lack…only be moved by thus saith the Word of the Lord.

174.    What does 174 mean to you?  Need a hint?

174 is not money. . .but then it could be. . .that’s your choice.  Would it surprise you to know that 174 is more valuable than money?

174 is the number of days left in 2013.  What are you going to do with these 174 days?

Did you set goals for 2013?  If so, what progress have you made in achieving your goals?  It’s time for a realistic view of where you are, what you’re doing, where you’re going and who you’re talking or listening to.
