There is one thing certain about time- IT NEVER STOPS! The hours, minutes, and seconds continue to pass away each and every day of our lives. I reminded myself today of how I must learn to take better control over my time. I want to be the best steward of the time that God gives me each day that He wakes me up. I was reminded of what God’s Word says about time in Romans 5:16 –“Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.” (Amplified) In the King James Version of the Bible Romans 5:16 reads, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

We must stay focused, and ask God to assist us in taking complete control of the time given to us. If we put God’s stuff first, then He will take care of all of our stuff. Make the most of your day, and allow God to guide your every step and action.

Praying should outnumber working in a ratio of 2:1. Christians in today’s workforce should never start any morning without lifting up a specific prayer unto God for their own business or for their employer.  By praying to God before the workday even begins, it communicates to the Heavenly Father your genuine, heartfelt desire to carry out His divine purpose in all that you intend to do on that day.

As a Christian entrepreneur, which I prefer to label myself as a “Kingdom-preneur” (check back soon for my article defining this new term which God gave to me), I enjoy browsing and seeking out noteworthy, resourceful, Christian blogs.

Recently, I came across a blog which you must take a moment to check out entitled:

In the Company of Prayer  (http://www.companyofprayer.com/) —-which incidentally is located along with a link to my blog Cornerinsight (http://cornerinsight.wordpress.com) under the Religion section on ALLTOP (http://alltop.com) .

In the Company of Prayer fulfills the ongoing, daily need for a distinct focal point to guide our prayers. This ensures the vital inclusion of the following specifics into our “work related” prayer time such as; our daily in-house business operations/meetings, co-worker/client/customer relationships, as well as the numerous business to business transactions or interactions which we encounter on any given day. It is crucial for us to usher God and the Holy Spirit’s presence into our workplace environment on each and every day! Whether you are a home-based entrepreneur running your business venture out of your living room, a retail associate at the local department store, or a corporate attorney practicing law in the MEGA-law firm with satellite locations around the world—It is essential for you to begin the workday in prayer. Your prayer life should spill over and infuse your “workspace”, regardless of the actual physical surroundings or environment.

I encourage you to visit In the Company of Prayer by clicking on http://www.companyofprayer.com/

Once you get to their main page, sign up & join their “Morning Briefings” for free! Then you will receive a daily email sent directly to your Inbox; so you can start off each workday morning focused in prayer. I am certain that you will find that in each morning’s prayer God will speak precisely to a current situation which you are dealing with or He will without a doubt give you divine insight and preparation for upcoming circumstances that you will face on the job.

Just remember that God’s Word says when we pray, then we should believe that we receive! I can assure you I will always believe—and I remain in a posture to receive exactly what God has just for me.

I want to leave you with these 4 key points, as you move forward with the things God has spoken to your spirit:

1. Step out on faith, and be encouraged.

2. Walk in your God-given authority.

3. Carry out God’s Agenda 1^st; and He will complete your agenda during the process.

4. Seek to advance God’s Kingdom as a “Kingdom-preneur”!

Be Blessed! 

During my time or absence from blogging for about a week, it allowed me to do some inner reflection about my day-to-day priorities and obligations. This time also allowed me to examine certain things in my life which are distractions.

What things in your life are distracting you and keeping you from doing the things that God desires for you to do?

Think about that, and allow this question to marinate in your spirit!!

Then let me hear from you.

Be Blessed!

Mondays just have a way of being overloaded with immediate requests that come in to us from every direction. We can choose to view Mondays like the “world system” as being a headache-filled stressful day. On the other hand, we can decide to view Mondays according to “God’s Word system” as it being a day filled with limitless possibilities and awesome opportunities. I personally choose to view Mondays in the light of God’s Word, because it is a new day in the Lord and we should rejoice and be glad in it! Enjoy your Monday! (as well as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!) Every new day gives us a clean slate to create our God given destinies and dreams upon. Celebrate every new day, as if it was your first! God did not have to wake you up this morning, but He did. There is a specific reason that He decided to wake you up on today, are you fulfilling His call on your life?

What does freedom mean to you? The Bible tells us that we can experience complete freedom, because Jesus Christ died on the Cross just for you and me. Jesus shed His precious Blood, so we could be free from illnesses, diseases, and from the bondages of sin. God truly desires for all of us to be totally free from anxiety, worry, guilt, depression, fear, lack, guilt, and shame. We do not have to remain in the heavy bondage of sin! The only real, true freedom can be obtained when you confess and repent of all your sins, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart. Through Christ Jesus we are enabled to experience a life of total freedom, joy, peace, and unconditional love. Glory to God for my FREEDOM! Be Blessed!

I have to admit, thoughts of waiting for my number to be called at the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles), literally causes me to get a brief wave of nausea. However, today I knew I had procrastinated long enough and had to make the trek over to the DMV. I walked in to a standing room only crowd, with 18 plus customer services lines open. I was given my number – E622, and attempted to scout out an empty seat where I could sit down and begin my wait.

Then I spotted it, one vacant seat beside a young lady holding a newborn infant in her arms. So I made a dash for it. When I sat down I begin to think that perhaps this seat was vacant, because no one wanted to take the chance of the little one disturbing an already miserable moment of waiting indefinitely. However, I decided to take my chances, and if the precious little one did decide to scream and cry then I would happily join right in and get my frustration out too!

When I sat down, I could tell that the young mother had been there for quite awhile. The little baby was resting ever so peacefully, even through the repetitive monotone announcements which blasted over the intercom system. “{DINGING BELL NOISE} Now serving B152 at window number 5, {DINGING BELL NOISE} Now serving D243 at window number 16″, now I am rethinking why I had to come here in the first place. Rather than counting the number of other items on my agenda that needed completing today; I made a conscious decision to make the best of the situation. I decided to ask the young mother, how old was her little one. She told me she had her just two short weeks ago. “Wow,” I replied, “Congratulations!!” We continued with small talk, to hopefully help the time pass by a little less painfully. During our small talk, she told me she had already been waiting for two hours. My heart sank for her and the precious little one, as well as my preconceived idea that surely it couldn’t take me very long just to drop off the certificate I had with me. So I mentally debated if what I had to do could wait until tomorrow, in which I would be certain to arrive just as soon as they opened for business. So I decided to just wait a few more minutes, and think about leaving again. Then I heard it, even among the obnoxiously dinging bell noise followed by the computer simulated voice calling out the next number to be served. It was God’s voice I heard, and it was distinctly loud and clear. He said, “I want you to sow into the young woman with the infant sitting beside you.” For just a moment, it was almost as if I was disoriented to my physical surroundings and my Heavenly Father was speaking over my shoulder into my ear.” So I carefully unzipped my wallet, while my inner spirit was asking ‘how much do I give her God?’ He immediately told me what to give her, and I easily folded the bill into the palm of my hand. The enemy immediately tried to interject my thinking with comments like, “you know you need that to go towards your bills, and you dont need to give her anything you dont know she may have more money than you do.” I fought back against the enemy, and I knew this was what God wanted me to do. It was almost like God switched on the CD track of one of my Bishop’s sermons which he delivered a few weeks ago on giving and sowing into others. I heard my Spiritual Father, Bishop Daniel Robertson, Jr., saying “When God tells you to do something, DO IT!” I remembered when he explained to us in the Body of Christ, how important it is to follow God’s timing. Because when God is ready to move, He wants you to move immediately on what He has instructed you to do.

I sat there only a few more minutes contemplating when I was going to give it to her. Then in God’s perfect timing, her number was called. As she was gathering her bag, her little one wrapped in the pink blanket, and her clipboard she stood up. I extended out my hand with the folded bill in it, and made eye contact with her. I said to her, “God told me to give this to you.” Our eyes were fixed, and frozen as she stood there looking at me in disbelief. She opened her mouth to say something, but the words just would not come out. I smiled at her, and neither one of us could utter a word. When she approached the customer service window, I knew that my purpose for coming to the DMV today was to bless that young woman. I knew God had ordered my steps there to precisely carry out a task He needed completing. I easily got up from my seat, and happily exited through the double doors so I could get in my car and get back to work. Which just brings me to the awesome realization of understanding that you just never know how God is going to use you to bless someone else in His name. I am grateful to God for choosing me as His vessel, to handle His Kingdom Business right here and right now. I want God to get the Glory out of everything I do, say, and write for the rest of my life.

Be Blessed- I know I am!
