Fellowship of Christian Athletes’ Post

Amen! Kelly Mason! In my daily prayers, I consistently seek to embody the reflection of Christ in every aspect of my life — whether it be in my professional endeavors, business pursuits, relationships, or any other aspect. A great reminder here 🙂 #Faithbasedbusiness, #LeadershipDevelopment #Management #KingdomImpact #LeadFirst

Biblical qualities that will guarantee success can be found in the simplest of creatures: “Go to the ant 🐜 🐜 🐜, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest”- Proverbs‬ ‭6:6-8. 1) UNITY is strength- this is enabled through the execution of goodness, godliness, mutual affection and love. 2) NEVER QUIT- instead, use Godly knowledge to find alternative ways to fulfill your purpose. 3) BE PROACTIVE- use self-control to prepare for the ‘winter season’. 4) HAVE FAITH & PERSEVERANCE- because the ‘winter’ season will end. 5) DO NOT PROCRASTINATE to acquire these qualities, “for if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”- 2 Peter‬ ‭1:5-8.

How to Move Forward in Uncertainty Scripture: Ephesians 1:17 - "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." In our journey of faith, there are moments when we encounter spiritual truths that defy our human understanding. We are faced with the challenge of trying to comprehend the ways of a God who is beyond our comprehension. It is in these moments that we must resist the urge to rely solely on our intellect and instead lean into our faith. Imagine standing before a closed door. You do not spend your time analyzing its construction or origins; you simply turn the knob and walk through. In the same way, when God presents us with opportunities or challenges, we are called to trust and obey without overthinking. We are called to walk through the doors He opens for us, knowing that they are tailor-made for our journey. #scripturedaily #peace #love #joy #faith #today #moveforward #JourneyOfFaith #EmbracingUncertainty #ScriptureInspiration #EphesiansVerse #LordJesusChrist #GloriousFather #DivineGuidance #SpiritualAwakening

In moments when the world feels overwhelming and our hearts are heavy with worry, there's a promise that can bring us immeasurable comfort: "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7 ✨ This verse is a gentle reminder that, in the midst of our struggles and doubts, there is peace available to us that is unlike any other. Peace so deep and so complete, it defies our human logic and understanding. It's a divine guardian, keeping watch over our innermost thoughts and emotions, anchoring us in the love and grace of Christ. 💖 Today, I encourage you to lean into this promise. Whether you are facing decisions that weigh heavy on your heart, or simply needing a moment of respite from the chaos of life, remember that God's peace is there for you. It's a gift that doesn't ask for understanding; it simply is. 🕊️💫 Share with us, how has the peace of God been a guardian in your life?

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄, 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ - Ephesians 4:11,12 I have always believed that everything and everyone in this world is connected one way or the other. Each one of us, with a specific purpose tied to our existence. As Christians, we are one in Christ and we are expected to play our specific roles to build the kingdom of God. There are times that along the way we join others to complete a particular assignment for a period and then we get equipped for a higher assignment. It is for this reason that wherever you find yourself ,at any point in time you work as unto the Lord ,because at that time, you will still be fulfilling destiny. When the time is right the Lord will set things in motion for your exit and entry into the new assignment. What then should be our attitude when we sight greater assignments? How do we exit without seeming ungrateful? Because when you are deemed valuable or useful in a place, it is usually hard for them to let go and this situation usually ends with both parties parting ways on a bad note. As much as goodbyes are not always easy, we have to be careful not to hinder someone from fulfilling his or her God-given destiny. Let‘s learn to communicate effectively so we can part ways still in love and support for each other. The work of God must go on and we must understand we are all on an assignment. #lordinathesoprano #lts #nuggets #thinkaboutit

So many of the problems we confront in the workplace boil down to issues of self-worth and confidence. It’s important to notice that we aren’t saying here. We aren’t saying that the gospel gives you a new “self-worth, Instead, it gives you a new “confidence”. The point of the Gospel isn’t how great you are; it’s how great Jesus is, and how deeply you benefit from His greatness. Knowing you are loved by God in spite of yourself turns out to be the real answer to all the things you think you need self-esteem to achieve. The truth is that you are accepted, not because you are a person of worth and value, but because of what Jesus has done for you as a lost sinner. You think you need self-esteem, and the world thinks you need to think more highly of yourself. But what you really need is to understand that everything you thought self-esteem could provide is really found in Christ and His love for you. As a Christian, you don’t need to esteem yourself more highly. You have a new confidence knowing that Christ loves you - and that changes everything. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. (Ephesians 3:11, ESV) #TheGospelAtWork #faithdrivenworker #faithdrivenentrepreneur

DAY #23 II KINGS 9:11-28                   God puts things in their place. He designs things in their perfect timing. Think about the last verse of chapter 8:            And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.            Here we see that the anointing of King Jehu, is timed just before, or around the time that  King Joram is injured. This explains the kings troops not responding to the subversion of a new king, because they were on the battlefield. King Ahaziah now returns to see his brother-in-law and finds himself caught in God’s plan to eliminate them. Joram is soon dead, and Ahaziah is pursued and given a mortal wound of which he soon after dies.            So much is timed perfectly like clockwork. This is the strength of God! When you begin to see how God orchestrated this timing, you begin to ask so many questions about how things happened in your life to bring you to where you are today.   Dear Lord Jesus, Your timing is perfection! It is not always what we want, but it is the right time! You pick the right people for the right job. How is it that You picked me? How is it that Your love conquered me? I did nothing to deserve Your love. Lord, please use me to share this love that You have. Use me to embolden others, and to share the joy that serving you brings. In Jesus name, Amen. #devotions #devotional #Bible #Christian #thoughtoftheday #inspirational

Incomparably Great Power Like a proud parent, your heavenly Father loves it when you carry out impossible things by His power and for His glory. And when you live in raw reliance upon His power, you will do things that otherwise cannot be done. When you think about it, in and of yourself you are incapable of loving God. You cannot fabricate love for Him. You can just respond to His love for you. Knowing this sets you free. Religion focuses on doing things for God. But true Christianity is all about receiving what Jesus has done for you on the cross. What you do for God is a reflection and a response to what He has done for you. We all love miracles; we just dislike being in a circumstance where we need one. But, that is a precondition. You will never experience the power of God until you’re in a situation that requires it. If you want to be filled with His Spirit, step into a situation that requires His power. Pursue a God-ordained dream you cannot achieve in your own strength and wisdom. That’s why Paul writes: ‘I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know…His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms’ (Ephesians 1:18-20). Today, God wants you to experience His ‘incomparably great power’ in your life. The Word For Today by #UCB
