Even Sceptics should Plan :
Zig Ziglar : Football Coach, motivational Speaker and Author said this : Nobody plans to fail, but most people fail to plan.
Anybody in the house who wants to fail - show of hands please. Thought so - now - if nobody wants to fail, why so many "less sucesful people" ?
Listen to this : "Scepticism, in connection with all new ideas, is characteristic of all human beings. But if you follow the instructions outlined, your scepticism will soon be replaced by belief, and this in turn, will soon become crystallized into absolute faith. This from a book "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill. Now he does not even point to the Word but yet he can make the statement becuase he realized, that if you follow clearly directed instructions - you will have succes.
Is that not what Josh 1 say. : let`s read Josh 1 :
God - through His promise to Abraham said "Yes - you and Sarah will have a child" It was up to Abraham to say "so be it" Paul said "Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief ( Rom 4:20 ). That "Stagger" means - to argue within yourself. Someone who staggers or wavers, can never make up his mind.
How often do we, when faced with a challenge to believe, argue within ourselves. We start with a "well God said".....but often then go into a "but that can`t be"
When we read that God says "now test me in this, see if I will not open the windows of heaven" or when He says "give and it shall be given back to you" or when the Word says ...."and my God shall supply all your needs, according to His riches and glory"
When we go that route, we have lost the argument even before it began. Like when I argue with my wife. It`s a done deal, I`ve lost.
Sceptics just love to debate or argue the point - love to argue the negative. What about just following the instructions for a change.
Before we can walk in love, peace, prosperity, on a consistent basis, you must first understand it`s source. 1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love. In other words - He is the source, the author of love. Everything you could ever need or want is in that source - power, prosperity, healing and forgiveness. But it`s only by tapping into and staying plugged into that source that God is able to pour these blessings upon our lives.
We can not buy God`s favour or blessings through our giving - but we can surely walk in His principles.
In our giving offerings and bringing our tithes - we say "Lord, we are definitely no sceptics, we are believers" we will walk by faith and not by sight.
