Victory Is Closer Than You Think

Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that if something is not quick and easy then they will pass on it and find the next thing. We live in a society that wants everything lightning fast and overnight victories. Well, I hate to burst your bubble but that is not the way things happen 99% of the time. Joel Osteen says, “we all live in a microwave society, but we serve a crock pot God.” Steve Harvey says, “There is no elevator to the top, you’ve got to take the stairs in the world of success.”

There is one set of people who know this very well and they are fishermen. They recognize that the art of fishing has no time boundaries. You can cast your line and catch a fish quickly or you can be there for several hours, possibly days if you go out several days in a row. They realize that ultimately victory will come but there is no timetable. http://www.miraclebook.net

Too many people give up on things too quickly when victory is closer than they think. If you are looking for success it is a disciplined, consistent, made-up mind that you must have. You cannot just give up and run away from everything that does not materialize at warp speed. You must be prepared to dig your heels in, snap on your seat belt and enjoy the journey. Victory Is Closer Than You Think.

Sight is a beautiful thing, but it can sometimes warp the way you think. If you don’t see your destination directly ahead of you then you decide to go a different route or worse, you become complacent and do nothing at all and accept that this is your plight in life. http://www.miraclebook.net

When you are watching, for instance, a football game you can clearly see when the team is on the one-yard line, and they are close to a touchdown. Where God is concerned it is not sight but faith that you must have and trust in God that he will bring you to the abundant life he has for you in his appointed time. Victory Is Closer Than You Think.

We all must acquired patience in life just like the fishermen have because most things in life we have to wait for: the birth of a baby, to board a plane and have it take off, to get a degree from school, a car to come out of a car wash, a promotion from work, a business to finally be in the green and out of the red which normally is at least five years in the making etc. There are a host of other things that I can list but you get my gist.

Don’t be so quick to give up because victory is closer than you think.

What Are You Expecting?

What Are You Expecting

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. – Psalm 5:3

Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord. – Psalm 27:14

Are you expecting surely goodness and mercy from the Lord with abundance or are you the type of person who expects nothing so just in case nothing happens you are not disappointed? Well, when you are not in expectation and hoping for great abundance in life guess what you have disappointed God! http://www.miraclebook.net

Jesus said, he came to give you life and life more abundantly.” The Bible says, “Now to Him who is able to carry out his purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us.” – Ephesians 3:20.

So, if God is prepared to overwhelm you with his abundance why are you not expecting it? God wants you to dream big and pray boldly! If you are asking and praying for things that eventually with lots of hard work, you will be able to attain on your own you are insulting God. He wants to be involved in all areas of your life and wants to bless you tremendously. However, if you are going to ask and pray as a pauper you will receive as a pauper. http://www.miraclebook.net

God created this whole world and everything thing in it. There is nothing that he cannot do and no amount of provision that he can’t deliver to you. Start getting your hopes up. Dream bigger, believe for abundance in all areas of your life.

Reflect on the Disney movie “Aladdin” and start making your wishes and raise your level of expectation while going through this journey of life. Remember what the genie said when he came out of the bottle, “Your Wish Is My Command!”

We should all celebrate the small wins in life as well as the big ones. When we accomplish something, we should be proud of the fact that we reached a goal we wanted to. Remember that God is the one that works along side us to accomplish these feats, but we still should be happy and celebrate. Not all the wins we receive may be goals we were striving for sometimes we are just gifted with wins which is awesome. No matter how small the win is we should celebrate it. Check out my website

There are so many small wins we all receive daily in life, and we need to celebrate those wins. It doesn’t have to be that we go shopping, splurge and eat lots of things we shouldn’t or a host of other things that start taking us in the wrong direction and negates the wins.

Celebrate the small wins in life and prayers answered because once you have those wins that will help you to believe more, strive harder, and be bolder in your prayers to God.
