5 Good decisions to take :

1 Put a guard in front of our mouths

Why do we need to put a guard in front of our mouths ?

Pro 18:20 Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach; good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest. 21 Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit--you choose.

Our words are determined by our faith and our faith determines our words - the Word of God warns us that - that which fills the heart is equal to that which fills our mouths. -

2 Serve the Lord :

Why should we serve the Lord ?

Exo 23:25 "But you--you serve your GOD and he'll bless your food and your water. I'll get rid of the sickness among you;

3 Sowing good seeds :

Why should we sow good seeds ?

Pro 22:8 Whoever sows sin reaps weeds, and bullying anger sputters into nothing. 9 Generous hands are blessed hands because they give bread to the poor.

4 Live by the Word :

Why should we live by the Word :

Jos 1:7 Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. 8 And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed.

5 Walk in love :

Why should we walk in love ?

1Co 13:1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

Some things to do as Christ followers : -

1 We need to be productive with the things God has given us - we need not worry about the things we do not have - use whatever is at your disposal - be a good steward and God will see to your needs. Forget about material stuff - worry about people.

2 We need to be servants - we have seen that it is good to decide to be a servant - servants are `givers & producers`. We need to have a servants attitude. Just do something for someone without expecting a return.

3 Be good stewards :- God gives us the ability to collect things - he can take it away or decide to increase those things we have. Respect property - faithful in little = faithful in much.

4 Be doers of the word - Don’t just be talkers but be doers of the word. We cannot bear good fruit if we do not tend to the garden - we have to do whatever we do in excellence. Don’t skimp on our efforts. Unproductive people are always complaining the most but they always expect the most - if you want something done - ask a busy person. Whiners are wannabe`s. You don’t become a spiritual giant with a Mickey mouse effort. What you get out is directly related to what you put in. Don’t expect a better position if you can not even fulfill the one your in. Success only comes to those who don’t quit - Gary player commented that `the more he practices, the luckier he gets`

5 Smile : don't always walk around like a dried up prune - Don't always hang your head & drop your shoulders, you wont find God at your feet - look up - He is sitting on the throne. There is always something to be great full for - Paul said rejoice & again I say rejoice. Throughout the Word we are told to be of good cheer - nowhere are we told to be grumpy. - Christians are supposed to be happy & full of fun - depression & anxiety is the devils anointing - love and happiness is from God-
