Convenience or Obedience?

Instead of Cain giving God the sacrifice he wanted, an animal. Cain gave God what was convenient for him, vegetables. It's more convenient for me to critique others speeches rather than give one but God gave me the anointing to speak. When I speak from my heart, I speak in compassion and authority. But when I speak in fear, my message is usually unclear.  

I want to be obedient to the call of God and stop allowing fear of my reputation to hold me back from being the true me. Therefore, I'm no longer going to speak from my convenience, but in full obedience to his call!

Power Thought

"When we allow fear to rule us, we unwittingly receive what Satan has planned for our lives. 

But when we live by faith through grace, God is able to work His divine plan in us. 

Whatever you need to do today, lean on God and let Him empower you to be successful." 

Power Thought: By God’s grace I have the skills to do all He asks of me with ease.

I will remain

It is really important to not only know who you are, but to stand firm in it. There will come a moment, or many moments, when you will make a decision that those who love you won't understand. That those who held your hand, shed a tear with you and prayed for the decision, will still doubt. When you explain it to your friends it won't make sense. When you evaluate it, there is no logic behind it. If there is only one person who gets it or no one who is wise enough to show you, and God told you to remain, remain in his will. No one but God knows the ending. Stand firm and receive the blessing that is rightfully yours. God is testing your obedience to him, not to anyone of this world. Be ready, be aware. Learn and grow into your blessing.
