Don't Quit!

Don’t quit on your first day and don’t quit on your worst day.”

Acts 20:24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

 

Victory Confession

I refuse to give up; I refuse to quit. I will not be moved by circumstances.  I will receive if I don’t quit believing.

 

You are Valuable

You are the most valuable asset in God’s kingdom.”

 

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 2:4-6, 8

Victory Decision

God loves me so much that He sent Jesus to die for me.  I choose to live for Him, with the assurance that I am His most valuable asset.

No Pity Here

When the pressure is on, refuse a pity party.”

 

23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:  24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.  25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.  26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Acts 16:23-26

 

Victory Decision

When the pressure is on, instead of self-pity, I will choose the Lord.  I will be delivered and God will receive the glory.

Prayer is Key

You will see more when you pray more.”

 

3Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Jeremiah 33:3

 

13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

John 16:13-14

 

Victory Action

The more I am in tune with God in prayer, the more He can reveal to me.  Therefore, I will pray more so I can see more.

Choose Quality

Much is not always good; go for quality.”

45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.  47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:  48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Matthew 13:45-48

Victory Decision

I choose to go for quality, not quantity, in my life. Quantity will eventually follow.

Love Everybody

To out love everybody is a good principle for every believer to pursue.”

10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;  11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Romans 12:10-11, 14, 17-18

Victory Decision

Loving includes giving and receiving love. I will “compete” with others, heart motivated to out love them.
