Enjoy the Privilege of Revelation and Knowledge
Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Acknowledge God in all you…..always

As much as there seems to be some fact in that statement, it is essential to establish that planning in itself is not all that is needed for success to be achieved in life or destiny. Planning is important, but we need to understand that there are other factors that…
Let your Words be Seasoned with Grace!
Proverbs 12:25 King James Version (KJV) Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. The power of words is not a stretch.

1 Chronicles 16:11 (KJV) Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. SEEK: Acronym for: Search Earnestly Expectantly Knowing So to seek the Lord is to: Search for his ways and to look to him in Earnest, with Expectations, Knowing that He will be found of you.

God choose you; to prosper your body, mind, & soul.
Matthew 12:18 (KJV) Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

It is, therefore, imperative that as you look at yourself, you must…
Renew Your Mind and Walk by the Spirit of God
Romans 8:6 (KJV) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Our minds are the centerpiece of all battles and victories.
