Personal Development God's Way

Do you know that every word that you think and say affects your life and the life of those around you?

Does this mean that every single word you speak or think actually affects your life? YES.

Your words affect your faith and consequently they affect your present mood and emotional state. Consequently they set the direction for your future.

Your words are powerful! They are seeds. Remember that Jesus one of the Parables that Jesus taught was the Parable of the Sower.

In the interpretation of this parable Jesus likened the seed to the Word. Yes it was the Word of God He was referring to, but we also need to remember:

• We are created in His likeness.
• God used His Words to create this world.

God uses words to create and He entrusted us with this same power. This is a part of being created in His image.

One of the things that champions do best is they are always conquering something.

Every day they are mastering something new.

Every day there is something new to conquer.

Every time you conquer something, you are taken to a new level of success in life.

Recently I saw a quote from @DrMikeMurdock on Twitter:

If you have ever wondered whether Christians can have a negative mindset, the truth is that you can have anything you want.

When you surrendered your life to Christ you did not cease to have a free will. God created you to become His child, not a puppet.

Throughout the Bible you will find God referring to His people as “His children”. Remember the Gospel of John 1:12 …

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

When you have a free will it means you are free to choose:

What, my destiny is my choice?

I thought that God had already planned my destiny! (You might be thinking).

Yes, He has.

Remember the verse in Jeremiah 29:11:
“I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.”

So it is true – God HAS a destiny planned for you – and a good one. But that does not mean you will automatically reach it.

Here is something to think about that will help you see the FULL picture.

Here is an objection concerning the teachings of Personal Development that you may well have used along your life’s journey.

Doesn’t this teaching contain a lot of humanistic principles that are derived from false religions?

This indeed was one of my biggest objections to any teaching that was not OPENLY Christ centered teaching. In other words, there was a time in my life that if a motivational or inspirational book or tape was not written for Christians (and by Christians), I usually would not look at it. Been there – done that? Perhaps you have, perhaps not.

If you have read my profile you will know that I spent 25 years in Mexico teaching in many different situations. During this time I spent 1 full year teaching a group of 6 folk every day. We dealt with subjects that included leadership, relationships, teaching children, bible studies etc.

One of the first subjects I taught was “How To Study”. At the end of this course, one of my students who had three different college diplomas confessed to me that despite all of his degrees, the lessons I presented taught him how to study.
