How to leave a church honorably
Daily Word - Research shows that two to three million churchgoers leave their church every year. Most leave because of burn out or because they were hurt in someway by their church.

Unauthorized projects will stress you out
Daily Word - Just because you can do it or it looks profitable or seems helpful doesn't mean you should do it. The time God has given you on earth is supposed to be filled with projects commissioned by God. When you involve yourself in unauthorized projects (however good they may be), you will stress yourself out because you will be doing it without God. Links - Join, Partner

Stop being sick
Daily Word - Because we live in a world where people often get sick and sometimes die from those sicknesses, we are conditioned to accept being sick. However, sickness is not something we have to accept; we can choose not to be sick. This is important because sickness not only weakens your body, but your mind as well, which stops the faith you need to succeed in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence
Daily Word - The vision that God has given to you requires faith to achieve. However, if you have people in your circle of influence who are casting doubt over your vision, either in words or actions, their unbelief will contaminate your faith. When this happens, your once strong faith becomes ineffective and your vision fails. You need to remove unbelieving people from your circle of influence in order to avoid this scenario, so you can achieve success in your vision and receive all the things for which you are believing in God for.

Three type of tithes mentioned in the Bible
Daily Word - Christians debate back and forth over tithing. If we are not careful, we can get confused by the barrage of scripture being thrown at each side of the argument. Even though tithing is highly contested, God placed the concept of tithing in the Bible for a reason — not for us to argue over it but to learn from it. In today’s message, let’s travel back into the Old Testament to learn about the three different types of tithes and discover their lessons for us believers under the new covenant of grace.

Healing is instant but faith is a process
Daily Word - Divine healing is not a reward for serving God or living a holy life. Instead, it is a basic benefit of every believer that is designed to be accessed instantly with your faith. However, if we just simply look around, we notice that some people receive divine healing quickly, for others it comes a bit slower, and for many healing doesn't come at all. Why is this the case? Because obtaining faith for healing is a process. Links - Join, Partner

Do not allow time to stress you out
Daily Word - As you are implementing the vision God has given you, it can be tempting to believe that you need more time than you currently have to work on your calling. So you start stealing time from your family, friends, and other areas of your life, thinking that if you have more time, you are more likely to succeed in your calling. Well, this scenario will create unnecessary stress in your life. Don't fall into this stress trap because you actually don't need more time. Links - Join, Partner

Love is the antidote to stress
Daily Word - Stress is a by-product of a fear-filled mind. The bible tells us that fear produces torment, and that is exactly what stress is. It is tormenting your mind with thoughts of death and lack. However, the bible also tells that the antidote to stress produced by fear is love. Links - Join, Partner

Lies subconsciously impact your decisions
Daily Word - We have to be careful about hearing lies about ourselves from others. Maybe your parents or teachers have told you that you would never amount to anything. Or perhaps an ex-spouse said that you had no value. Mentally we know the lies are false, but subconsciously these lies become embedded in our spirit and affect our decisions. Therefore, we need to intentionally root these lies out of our spirit. Links - Join, Partner

You are worthy to succeed in your calling
Daily Word - In order to achieve success in your calling, you first have to believe you deserve success. However, many people feel like they are unworthy of success due to past sins, mistakes, and/or missteps. Most of us have done things we are not proud of, but God stills finds you worthy of success. You are worthy of achieving the calling that He has placed in your heart. Links - Join, Partner

Don't be shamed into not sowing to ministries
Daily Word - In today’s society there is backlash toward giving to ministries. Some think that ministers are wasting or stealing money, and that same money should instead be given to help the poor. This has led some Christians and non-believers to shame Christians who sow to ministries. They feel that these Christians are being led astray, brainwashed, and taken advantage of. However, what does the Word of God say about this? Links - Join, Partner

What to do in the meantime
Daily Word - God gave you a vision to be in your own business or ministry full time. However, in the meantime, what do you do until the vision fully manifests? Is it a lack of faith to do something else while you wait for manifestation? Or maybe you should use your faith to jump directly into the vision? Links - Join, Partner

Praying in tongues yields success in your calling
Daily Word - Speaking in tongues is one of those Bible concepts that feels a little out there and has many doctrinal interpretations and debates, which cause some Christians to shy away from it. However, speaking in tongues is not complex and is a powerful prayer method for the success of the calling God has given you. Links - Join, Partner

The mark of the beast is an economic system
Daily Word - Most Christians are confused about what is the “mark of the beast.” However, God never intended for this to be a confusing or misunderstood topic, because it has great impact on believers, especially believers in the marketplace. This is because the mark of the beast is an economic system that’s designed to force believers to conform to worldly non-Christ-like norms and practices. Links - Join, Partner

Sickness and financial lack are a prison for your calling
Daily Word - It is not an accident that the moment you accept God’s calling for your life that an unexpected sickness or a financial hardship comes your way. These things are attacks of Satan to imprison you in pain and lack to stop you from succeeding in your calling. Well, don’t fall for this trick. Use your authority to knock down those prison walls and achieve your calling. Links - Join, Partner

God cares for you and has already done something about your situation
Daily Word - When bad things happen to us or to others we are tempted to ask, “God, don’t you care? Why aren’t you doing something about this?” It looks and feels like God is absent or does not care. Well, God does care and has already done something about the bad situations you and others face. Links - Join, Partner

Money is counterfeit Faith
Daily Word - A counterfeit is defined as anything made in the image of something valuable or important, with the intention to deceive or defraud. As this definition describes, money is a counterfeit of faith. Money is designed to look, feel and act like faith, but it is an imitation of faith designed to defraud you into trusting it instead of placing your faith and trust in God. Links - Join, Partner

A way to uncover your calling
Pastoral Chat - So here's how you uncover what you're good at. Look back over your life and find that thing you were always good at. I don't mean you made money at it, but you were always good at it. It came easy to you. Let me give you an example. Look at the life of Joseph. Whether he was in the pit or the palace, he was always good at administration. He was good in the pit. He was good in slavery. He was good in prison and he was good in the palace. He didn't make money until he got to the palace in Egypt, but he was always really good at administration. Like Joseph, that thing you've been good at your whole life is where your calling lies. Links - Join, Partner

You have to operate with partial information
Pastoral Chat - Whatever God has called you to do, there's something I need you to know. You're not going to have a full understanding or full information of what He has called you to do. We all are going to be operating on partial information. When Abraham stepped out on faith to leave his home country, it said he went to a place that God would show him, which means that he did not know a hundred percent where he was going before he left. So just like Abraham, when God speaks to your spirit, there's going to be some things you just don't know. You just have to take that step of faith and step out and do the thing that God's called you to do. Links - Join, Partner
