    20/20 VISION 2| P a g e

    PR YER ND F STINGWelcome to 2014. We are ready to embark on a journey we are calling - 20/20 VISION.

    We will have readings from MondayFriday with Saturday and Sunday reflecting on the

    Vision /Motivation of TurningPoint.

    To get the most from 20/20 Vision, set aside 2 specific times of 20

    minutes each day. 20 minutes to read and reflect on the reading,

    memory scripture and meditation and a separate 20 minutes each day

    as a Prayer time. It is always more effective if the same time each day is

    selected.

    Just imagine what is going to happen if we combine the 20 minutes ofPrayer with the 20 scripture and reading God will release us from theold habits that hold us back and renew us with His power to live ourlives in the fullness He has for us.

    Prayer is the communication between God and the believer. It is two-way communicationthat requires listening, speaking and trusting. A simple way to pray to God is to use theACTS of prayer:

    A Adore. Address and acknowledge God for the great God that He is (i.e. God myFather, Wonderful Counsellor, Awesome God, My God, etc.)

    CConfess your sins. 1 John 1:9 states that if we confess our sins, He is faithful andjust to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is the

    believers assurance that God will not hold our sins against us if we confess them to Himand ask for His forgiveness.

    TThank God for what He has already done in your life! Enter into the Lords presencewith thanksgiving in your heart, knowing that He hears and answers your prayers.

    S Make your Supplications/requests known to God. After you have adored, confessedand thanked God, you are now in a position to petition God on your behalf.

    Fasting is the greatest spiritual discipline for seeking Gods intervention. The normal fast

    is going without food for a definite period, during which you ingest only liquids.An absolute fast allows no food or water at all, and should be for a short period of time. Apartial fast is one that omits certain foods or is on a schedule that includes limited eating.It may consist of omitting one meal a day. Eating only fresh vegetables for several daysis also a good fast.

    Always seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit before you begin your fast!

    Be blessed.

    Your Fasting Guide - Like prayer and Bible reading, fasting is one of the spiritual disciplines offollowers of Jesus. The next few paragraphs are here to help you get your mind around fasting,and help you get started in this powerful Christian habit!

    What is fasting? - Biblical fasting is, very simply, denying oneself food for the sake of seekingand honouring God, prayer is connecting with God; fasting is disconnecting ourselves from theWorld. You can fast from other things that keep you connected to the World , things like TV,video games, social networking, chat rooms and more.

    Why should I fast? - Over time, its very easy for our souls to get gunked up. Fasting is away to give our bodies and our souls a deep cleaning. When we do, we find that not only do wefeel better, but as we draw closer to God, we are more in tune with His voice.

    How do I fast? - There are several different types of fasts. In this guide and over these nexttwenty days of 20/20 VISION, we have laid out a plan that will help you detach from some ofthe distractions of everyday life. This twenty day plan also involves cutting out some fooditems, and throws in a few days where you only drink liquids and other days where youll eat

    just fruits and vegetables.

    The plan provided in this guide is just thata guide. Feel free to mix it up, or create your ownor add above the guide. The main thing is rememberdont make this time all about what youeat, or dont eat. This is all about drawing closer to God and replacing some of our commondistractions with time to pray, read our Bibles and seek God like never before.

    How should I prepare to fast? - For a 1-day fast, it doesnt take much preparation. Its best toslow down your eating before the fast, then pick it back up slowly by eating small, simple foods.For a longer fast, DEFINITELY prepare this way. Its smart to plan aheadand make sure youllhave plenty of the fruits, vegetables, juices, etc. on hand. If not, youre likely to overeat at your

    next meal, and thats never a good choice!What should I do while fasting? - Drink lots of water. Pray. Read your Bible. Worship andPraise God. Listen to worship music. Set a journal to record what God is saying to you.

    Lengths of Fasting in Scripture:

    1. Half-Day: see Judges 20:26, Acts 10:30

    2. Three Days: see Acts 9:9, Esther 4:15-16

    3. Seven Days: see 1 Samuel 31:13

    4. Fourteen Days: see Acts 27:335. Twenty One Days: see Daniel 10:3

    6. Forty Days: see 1 Kings 19:8, Luke 4:1-2

    NOTE: The length of the fast should be dependent on three factors1. Your health, 2) Godsleading, and 3) Type of fast. USING WISDOM IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT IN FASTING.Prayerlessness is a sin according to 1 Sam. 12:23.

    Each day during your fast/s, we encourage you to keep a daily journal. Write any revelations

    that God gives you about yourself and about life in general.

    Day One Monday 27thJanuary 2014

    Suggested FAST from Caffeine Drinks and TV. My FAST today is

    BE MORE...PRAYERFULScripture Reading: Luke 18

    From the time that we were old enough to repeat words, we, as parents,

    grandparents, Sunday school teachers and/or day-care providers, need toteach that, to communicate with God, we need to know that without repentancethe passage of prayer can be restricted. When we used repeated words likeGod is great; God is good before we ate our meals and Now I lay me downto sleep before we went to bed, they were actually teaching us topray; even if,at the time, we really didnt understand what we were saying or doing. Many ofus thought that prayer was something that could only be done at the side of the

    bed, while on our knees. However, as we have grown older and matured in theLord, we now know that prayer can be done anywhere and at any time duringthe day or night.

    In the Bible we have read many accounts of how prayer changed people and/orsituations, which was the result of Gods Word being spoken back to Him.Basically, praying Scripture gives you the same authority over Satan as when

    Christ prayed against him, making this method of prayer helpful in creating anintimate relationship with the Creator. So, in whatever situation you findyourself, whether you need healing, strength, wisdom, a financial blessing or adesire to simply pray for someone else, remember that God admonishes us tocome boldly before the throne of grace.

    Meditation: Prayer is the best way to make yourrequests known unto the LORD. So, remember to

    P.U.S.H - Pray Until Something Happens!

    Scripture to Memorise: Then Jesus told hisdisciples a parable to show them that theyshould always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1

    My 20/20 Prayer request for today is.

    Day Two Tuesday 28thJanuary 2014

    Suggested FAST from Caffeine Drinks and TV. My FAST today is

    BE MORE...WILLINGScripture Reading: Isaiah 6

    Have you ever found something you enjoy doing? Perhaps, you learned how to

    cook, sew, or draw. Maybe you delight in baking, writing or reading, or takingpictures. Because you love doing those things, if ever you were asked to bakea cake, or draw a picture, you were willing to do so. No one had to push you orplead with you to do it; you just did it. You even rearranged your schedule toaccommodate your interests. That is how God wants us to be with Him.

    He desires us to be willing to do, go and say anything for Him. Be willing to

    spend some time with Him, study His word and sit in His presence. He willnever push Himself on us. He is always there for us: willing to hear us, comfortus, protect us, love us, provide for us, guide us and more. In fact, He waswilling to die for us. In the scripture, the prophet Isaiah came to a clearerunderstanding of who God was in his life. He recognized that this Holy Godwanted a real relationship with this sinful man. Realizing the magnitude ofGods power, when the Lord needed someone to go to make the heart of the

    people fat, Isaiah said immediately,here I am, send me.

    Meditation: Today, listen to theleading of the Holy Spirit.

    Scripture to Memorise: Also Iheard the voice of the Lord,

    saying, who shall I send, and whowill go for us? Then said I, Here am I;send me. Isaiah 6:8

    My 20/20 Prayer: What am I willing to do for God as a result of 20/20

    Day Three Wednesday 29thJanuary 2014

    Suggested FAST from Caffeine Drinks and TV. My FAST today is

    BE MORE...TRUSTINGScripture Reading: Proverbs 3:

    Why is it so difficult for us to completely trust the Lord? He promised us that he

    would take care of us and supply all of our needs. No one else has ever madesuch promises. God wants us to trust Him without doubt, hesitation or worry.Whatever you need from Him, put it in the hands of our Lord. He can handle it.Correction and discipline are never comfortable, but they both have a way ofdeveloping our personal growth. As difficult as it may be, try to learn from thoseexperiences. Proverbs shows us clearly that if we handle these situationsproperly, we grow in wisdom. Yet when we are left to ourselves and dont follow

    the correction given to us, we are actually hurting ourselves more and more.Look at the last time you got punished for something, what can you learn fromthat experience? Take what you have learned and apply it to your life, and bethankful for the lesson you were able to take from it.

    The key is to remember Gods promises to us. He is always with us giving usHis strength, and nothing can ever separate us from His mighty hands! Looking

    back, what events have you been through where you couldve trusted Godmore and how might the result changed? How does that affect the way you willface challenges in the future?

    Meditation: What things have youasked God to handle? If He did itbefore, then He will do it again.

    Scripture to Memorise: Trust in theLORD with all thine heart; and leannot unto thine own understanding. Inall thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs3:5-6

    My 20/20 Prayer: In what areas do I need to trust God to gain a good 20/20VISION for 2014

    BE MORE...PURPOSEFULScriptureReading: Proverbs 6:

    Several years ago a story appeared in a well-knowndevotional about a man who wrapped his wifes 3.5 caratdiamond ring in a napkin and mistakenly threw it in the trash.Upon realizing his mistake, he chased the trash truck to itstransfer station and proceeded to weed through the trash tofind the ring. It took him about an hour to accomplish thistask. His mind was on that one thing: finding the ring.

    As children of God, we have to purposely seek Him everyday. We have to find God in every situation. We have to get theunderstanding of who God is and what He is trying toaccomplish through us. Our God is so worthy of all ourhonour, love and devotion, yet He gives us the ability to chooseto do so, willingly. There is nothing more satisfying than livinglife with God at our centre. Yet many times, we allow otherthings to settle in and become the focus of our worship. Settingaside time like during 20/20 VISION prayer & fasting andpersonal devotion gets us more in tune with God. If things havegotten a bit out of place, we can put them back into alignmentas we draw closer to God. Is God the top priority in your lifetoday? If not, what is taking His place? How can you restore Himto that place of honour He desires? See God as that precious jewel that you do

    not want to lose under any circumstance. Always keep him in sight!

    Meditation: I will worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness as I strive for adeeper understanding of Him.

    Scripture to Memorise: Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the manthat gets understanding. Proverbs 3:13

    My 20/20 Prayer: Am I living my life on purpose

    BE MORE...DISCIPLINEDScripture Reading: Philippians 3:

    Have you ever wondered what is so different about the person that makes a

    determination to excel? Have you noticed how runners in a race all run likethey have already won? Some start out fast; some pace themselves at a slowerrate, and then there are those who seem to take it in stride, confident that theywill accomplish what they set out to do. They never give up before the race isover.

    Practice makes perfect is a true saying and runners adopt this attitude by

    disciplining themselves to be ready for whatever challenge lies ahead. Theycan run in the heat, the rain, and even cold weather. Their bodies have beendisciplined to withstand the elements.

    So, too, the Apostle Paul reminds us todiscipline ourselves by the Word of God so that wecan not only stay in the race, but also complete it ina way that brings glory to God. Discipline for the

    believer is achieved when we read and obey theWord, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead andguide us.

    Discipline yourself today to let Gods Will for your life be your will and act on itdaily.

    Meditation: Lord, teach me how to submit myself every day to your Will.

    Scripture to Memorise: I press toward the mark for the prize of the highcalling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

    BE MORE...FORGIVINGScripture Reading: Matthew 6:

    How often do we utter the words, Lord, forgive me or God forgive me for ?

    Do we really understand what we are saying? When we request forgivenessfrom God, we are actually positioning ourselves to forgive others, that weourselves may obtain forgiveness. The forgiveness that we request from God isrelational meaning that we get what we give.

    Jesus when asked what is the greatestcommandment: loving God completely, and lovingothers as much as yourself. One of the greatestexpressions of love is that of forgiving. God lovedthe world, so he gave us His son. (John 3:16) Godlovedand God gave. One of the best ways we can show the love of God toothers is to give them the right to hold unforgiveness. In what areas of yourlife are you holding back and why? In what ways could you show the love ofGod to others?

    In the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, He says, Forgive our debts as weforgive our debtors which translates to As often as I forg ive others, pleaseLord, forgive me! If we are honest, how many times would we really gainforgiveness? In verse 14, Jesus simply assures us that forgiveness, no matterwhat we have done, thought or said, is guaranteed if we allow for weakness inothers.

    Today, remember the golden rule and do unto others as you would have

    others do unto you; forgive.

    Meditation: Resolve in yourself to forgive.

    Scripture to Memorise: And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgivenour debtors. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Fatherwill also forgive you; Matthew 6:12, 14

    My 20/20 Prayer: Whom do I need to forgive?

    BE MORE...JOYFULScripture Reading: I Thessalonians 5

    Some time ago there was a service at a mens correctional facility in whichseven preachers spoke on seven sayings of Jesus. One of the preachers was

    led to speak on the word joy. The preacher then asked himself, how can onetalk about joy to those who are incarcerated? Then, the answer came by theHoly Spirit, saying, dont focus on the environment but focus on the Word thatproduces joy.

    We as Christians must be confident in the joy we havethrough Christ Jesus. Regardless of the circumstances inwhich we find ourselves, the Word of God holds for ustreasures of joy. Treasures that remind us that, the joy of theLord is our strength; ~Nehemiah 8:10 in His presence is thefullness of joy; ~Psalm 16:11 and to, rejoice evermore. ~IThessalonians 5:16.

    Praying Ephesians 3:14-21 Father, In the name of Jesus, Ipraise and thank You that You saved me for a purpose, and that You have aplan for my life that exceeds my most imaginative hopes and dreams. For thatreason, Father, I bow my knee to You, the God of heaven and earth fromwhom Your whole family receives Your name. I pray that by Your gloriousriches You would strengthen me on the inside through the power of Your HolySpirit and that Christ would truly live in my heart and live through me by myfaith in You. Help me to understand with all of the saints the breadth, length,depth, and height of Your love which surpass all knowledge. Fill me with all ofYour fullness, Your wisdom, strength, and power, so that I would live constantly

    to Your glory! Now unto You, Father, who is able to do exceedingly far aboveall that I ask or can imagine, be the glory in the church through Christ Jesusthroughout all the ages and forever. Amen!

    BE MORE...TRUTHFUL & HONESTScripture Reading: Luke 16

    God wants to building character and hold us accountable for our actions. When

    we think about the financial downfall which has caused many of us to lose jobsand to give up things we enjoyed to maintain a stable life, it is very easy toresort to dishonesty and unethical behaviour. If we continue being truthful andhonest with God, ourselves, God will honour our faithfulness and bless us.Truth and honesty enables us to have peace of mind, maintain self-respect andallows us to serve God and others. When we are truthful and honest with God,who knows all things, He will trust us with more.

    Also have you ever realized that some things just arent what they seem? Weoften have a tendency of exaggerating what is real and letting our minds playtricks on us. Maybe you notice that you get really angry when you shouldnt, orfind yourself lusting after someone or something. God tells us that we musttake each thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. We must be able toknow the difference between a lie and a truth in our mind, so that we can

    control what we think about, and experience the freedom and power that Godgives us over our flesh. What do you think take each thought captive reallymeans? Make a list of the negative thoughts that you have experienced andnext to them write a truth, or a promise that God gives us.(For example: Lie Iam not very good looking and there is nothing special about me. Truth I ambeautiful, am a God singer, and God made me perfect in His image for aspecific purpose.)

    Meditation: Today purpose to Be More truthfuland honest with God, self, and others.

    BE MORE...KIND-HEARTEDScripture Reading: Ephesians 4:

    Various media such as the news, newspaper, and the internet show us there are

    many unkind people in the world. In addition, there are those who ignore the lessfortunate and treat them as if they dont exist. Some never have a kind word to sayabout others. Sadly, sometimes we find unkind people in the Christian community,but that is not the behaviour that God expects from His children.

    Most of us have heard that old saying that what goes around comes around.Whatever you put into a relationship or anything is what youll get out of it. Wehave to be intentional each day to only speak words of encouragement andkindness into others, because that is exactly what we need and want for ourselves.

    Yes, this sort of discipline can become extremely difficult at times, but do not loseheart because we will be greatly rewarded in Gods time. Who are the people inyour life you could speak words of encouragement and love to? What will you say inyour next encounter with them?

    Kindness is a command from God and is the fifth virtue listed in thefruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). It is kindliness that puts othersat ease, and shrinks from giving pain. It demands that one

    consider anothers feelings and seeks to enhance ones joy, ratherthan to make one unhappy. As Christians, we should desire tohelp, and not hurt. The Bible admonishes us not only to treat othersas we want to be treated, but to show yourself friendly if you want togain a friend.

    We need Gods kindness and compassion in our lives in orderto be a blessing, and not a curse to someone else. So show

    kindness to a neighbour, colleague, stranger or friendbecause you never know what a person might be goingthrough.

    Meditation: Kindness is free! When we are kind to others, Godwill be kind to us.

    Many times have we heard people say, They are always walking around with

    their head in the clouds. Ever wondered what they meant by this statement? Thisstatement suggests the person with their head in the clouds presumably is notaware of what is going on around him. That person has no knowledge of currentevents or what is happening at that particular time. God does not want usignorant. He wants us aware of what He is doing in our lives for our good.

    The Pharisees and the Sadducees (the religious leaders during Jesus' time) weretrying to get Jesus in trouble so they could turn him over to the authorities. So

    they pointed out a man in the crowd with a disfigured hand and tested Jesus,asking if He would be willing to heal someone on the Sabbath (when any workwas prohibited). Jesus, fully aware of their wicked hearts, took the opportunity toshow the crowd that NOTHING would keep him from his task of reaching the lost.Until Jesus arrived on the scene, this man had been overlooked, teased andignored. However, Jesus had bigger plans for his life. -How often do you defendthose who have no one to defend them? Or reach out to those who get teased

    constantly, or completely ignored?The Bible encourages us to watch as well as pray, or in other words, to beaware of what is going on in our space. We know that the devil is always busyand he works to distract and get the attention of Gods people so he can get usoff focus.

    Lets not get caught with our head in the clouds. Pay attention to what God isdoing and be confident that He is working all things for our good!

    Meditation: Be aware of your surroundings and the people in yourspace.

    A minister once shared many years ago about being peaceful. He talked about

    a raging stormthe strong winds, the pelting rains, and the flashing thunderand lightning! This storm was of hurricane force. He went on to say that right inthe midst of this storm, perched on a branch in a big old oak tree, was a birdsnest and in that nest were several eggs. The amazing thing about the story wasthat sitting on the eggs was the mother bird. Even though the storm tossed herabout, she remained perched on her nest determined to protect her eggs. Thismother bird had peace in the midst of the storm because her mind was on

    something greater than the storm.

    God desires peace for His people. When storms come into our lives, He wantsus to concentrate more on Him rather than what is going on around us. He haspromised to give us peace in the middle of the storm, but we have to learn tokeep our minds on Him and not our surroundings.

    Peace is a fruit that a person produces, or doesnt produce, and by it, you may

    understand their walk in life. Either they are producing great fruit, or they areproducing the complete opposite. We need friends to surround us who aregoing to be by our side in a moments time and be that love, peace, and joy inour lives. Who are you surrounding yourself around? What kind of fruit are theyproducing, good or bad? If you are surrounded by a crowd of bad fruitedpeople, what can you do to share Gods love andgentleness to them?

    BE MORE...LOVINGScripture Reading: Jeremiah 31:

    What the world needs now, is love sweet love. Its the only thing that theres justtoo little of. This song has become an all too common theme in our world today.As it is also said, People are looking for love in all the wrong places. Both ofthese statements are unfortunate, but true. The world recognizes its need forlove, but has not found it. Although this is a worldly issue, we as Christianssometimes struggle to exhibit the sweet love that the world needs.

    Lets look at the words of a popularsong that we sing, The Jesus in me, lovesthe Jesus in you; youre easy to love. As much as we want to practice thesewords, as Christians, we struggle with doing what they say. God knows this is astruggle for us, and in order to help us be more loving, He reminds us about thelove that He has for us. He reminds us that this love has been with us forgenerations and this love is everlasting. Because of His love for us, he isaffectionately kind to us. As we continue to recognize and accept His love for us,we can then transfer this love and affection to others. You may think thats easiersaid than done.

    Well look closely at the words to the song again. It reads, The Jesus in me, loves

    the Jesus in you. Did you get it? The key component is Jesus. God gave usJesus as the example of how we can be more loving. If we allow the Jesus in usto love the Jesus (or God) in others, then they will (and you will) be easy to love.

    Jesus response when asked what the greatest commandment was: loving Godcompletely, and loving others as much as yourself. One of the greatestexpressions of love is that of giving. Do you love God and give yourself to Himcompletely? In what ways could you show the love of God by giving to others?

    Meditation: Lord, help me to see you in others so that I canbe more loving.

    BE MORE...HOPEFULScripture Reading: Lamentations 3:

    Repeat these words, Everything I need is in God. Do you believe it?

    This passage of scripture was written at a time when Israel was under greatsuffering and anguish. Sound familiar? Maybe they were experiencing arecession, high unemployment, financial ruin, the disintegration of the family,sickness, homelessness, or elevated crime statistics. At this point, Im sure thatgiving up was on the minds of all those who were affected, but the prophet didsomething that we are encouraged to do. THINK! He thought back to hisexperience with God and decided that there was reason to expect with

    confidence for things to change for the better.

    No matter what our present situation or circumstances, our God never changes.In the past, God has been there for us and seen us through some of the mostdifficult times in our lives. The scripture declares that Gods love never quits andthat His mercies never run out. But every morning He sends new mercies to takeover where yesterdays mercies stopped. We dont have a reason to give upbecause we have HOPE in God. We have the assurance that God knows all

    about us and what we are going through and that He is making provision for us.He is our everything! He is all that we need! He is our portion!

    So the next time you get in a tightplace remember to HOPE in God.Everything that we need is in God!

    Meditation: My hope is built on nothing less than Jesusblood and

    righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesusname. On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand.

    Scripture to Memorise: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, Hismercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Yourfaithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him.Lam 3:22-24

    My 20/20 Prayer: For what am I hopeful

    BE MORE...POSITIVEScripture Reading:Philippians 4:

    You are who you hang out with. If you hang with people who get in trouble you

    will get in trouble! You hang with people who are angry and always upsetguesswhat, you will be too. On the flip side, when you associate with people who dogood and positive things, you will too. Take a look at your life and see who ishelping you grow in a positive way?

    The state of being positive is one that brings with it a feeling of more rather thanfeeling less. It has been proven scientifically that the power of positive thinkingcan change structure of the cells in our bodies. Some

    believe that the diagnosis of a life-threatening diseasecan be reversed because of positive thinking.

    This principle also can be found in mathematics. A Plus(+) sign denotes positive while a minus (-) sign denotesnegative. One adds, while the other subtracts. A positivenumber is always greater than a negative number.

    As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual; thinking about the good versus thebad can change your view of any given situation. You may not have a new car,but with your old car, it is a blessing that you dont have a car payment. We maybe experiencing a recession, but you have food on your table every night. Weshouldnt deny that things are tough, but recognize that in spite of our situations,God is still good and is still providing good things for us. In our equation of lifeGod is greater, than any negative thing that we are experiencing.

    Decide what steps you can take nowto move forward in that direction.Meditation: When negative things come, choose to think more about God.

    Scripture to Memorise: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things arepure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if therebe any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8-9

    My 20/20 Prayer: I choose to think on these positive things

    BE MORE...GIVINGScripture Reading: II Corinthians 8:

    The Macedonians were a group of blessed people. They understood the power ofsacrificial offering during afflicting and difficult times in their lives. Ordinarily it wouldhave made sense to save their money for their future, but when they learned theneeds of the saints in Jerusalem, the Macedonians were overflowing with the joy ofgiving to something greater than themselves. Interesting to note, the Macedoniansnot only gave their money, time and talent, but they gave beyond their ability toproduce what was needed to glorify God. Moreover, in their giving they were notpressured or coaxed, but they were willing.

    For the Christian, giving is an act of worship; we give based on what we believe

    about God. 6 Characteristics of Godly giving: 1. Giving ofself is first (2 Corinthians 8:5) Everything belongs to God.

    2. Godly giving is worship. (John 4:23-24) Our giving mustproceed from the heart with a willing attitude.

    3. Godly giving is consistent (1 Corinthians 16:1-2) Do I see mygiving as an obligation or privilege.

    4. Godly giving is according to ability. (2 Corinthians8:12) God never expects more than we are able to do.

    5. Godly giving is generous. (2 Samuel 24:24. 1 Timothy6:17-19) Giving is when you give and expect nothing inreturn.

    6. Godly giving is planned and cheerful. (2 Corinthians8:10 -11) The Lord deserves our FIRST fruit. "Is JesusChrist a guest in my home or have I given Him the keys to myhome?"

    Meditation: Think on something greater than yourself that you can sow into that willcause others to Be More.

    Scripture to Memorise: One person gives freely, yet gains even more;another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. Proverbs 11:24

    BE MORE...COURAGEOUSScripture Reading: Joshua 1:

    Are you fearless? Would someone describe you as a courageous person? When

    we think of a fearless individual, our minds often go directly to those highly visibleand dramatic acts of courage weve seen in the media or read about in books. Itmay be the bold image of a brave soldier leading his men forward while theenemy shoots all around him, or of a heroic fire-fighter rushing into a building tosave victims. That's what we all call courage. We are even more impressed whenwe see them interviewed afterwards by the media and hear them say in a veryhumble voice, "I was just doing my duty." It always surprises us when they saythat, but you know, they are right. They were just doing their duty. Dangerous,painful, and even life threatening, but it is all just part of the job. I know many ofus would be quick to say, "I could never do that!" Yet, the truth is, that is exactlywhat we are all called to do. Stand up, run to the burning decay of peoples livesto see them saved and set free.

    In the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, the Cowardly Lion jumps out of windowbecause of fear. His desire was to have courage. The Wizard of Oz made him go

    through many dangerous and terrifying situations with the Wicked Witch of theWest to earn the courage that he so desperately wanted. In the end, the lionlearned that the courage he was trying to earn was exhibited in his ability toovercome his situations and finally overcome the witch.

    There are many times in the Word that God commands his people to be strongand courageous. He commands it because He knows that we already have thecourage we need. Furthermore, He knows that fear brings terror and

    discouragement. Finally, He assures us that we can be strong and courageousbecause He is always with us.

    Meditation: I will be confident and courageous in everysituation knowing that God is with me.

    Scripture to Memorise: Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not bediscouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

    BE MORE...PATIENTScripture Reading: James 1&2:

    Patience is about doing the right thing, even under great strain, stress, and/orprovocation. It is about continuing to wait within a negative circumstance, withoutany complaint or negativity. It is about enduring trials, while not letting those trialsget to you. That is what true patience is, and this patience only comes about asthe gift of God; as the result of God working within our lives.

    Patience is a word that many of us have a hard time demonstrating. The greatestchallenge to the development of patience is being able to wait for the tangibleevidence that our efforts are not in vain. We want what we want when we want it;in fact, we wanted it yesterday! Basically, patience is nothing more than a waiting

    game, that when played correctly, will work exceptionally well in us when wewillingly surrender total and complete control to the Wisdom of God.

    As we explore the elements required to actually demonstrate patience in allsituations, we should find a strong foundation of faith. Job demonstrated this faithwhen he waited patiently for God to deliver him from the despair in which hefound himself. When his wife and friends told him to curse his God and die, Jobtrusted that Gods delay was not a denial and in the end was rewarded for his

    patience. He understood that patience was not just a condition for which to aim,but an increase in his faith in God.

    Dont let impatience cause you to miss the good things that God has for you onthe journey of your life. If you consistently murmur and complain while waiting foryour prayers to be answered, you may miss something that God wants to use toenrich your life. You hear jokes about never asking God for patience unless youwant to go through more trouble, but if having patience increases what you can

    receive from God, it is a good thing; so ask away!Meditation: Faith, trust, and truth are thefoundation of patience.

    Scripture to Memorise: Count it all joy when youfall into divers temptations; knowing this, that thetrying of your faith works patience. James 1:2

    My 20/20 Prayer: God would give me patience in the following areas-

    BE MORE...FAITHFULScripture Reading:Matthew 17:

    The Word of God tells us that without faith it is impossible to please the Lord. So,

    how much faith is required for the people of God to please Him? Jesus explainsin Matthew that the level of faith needed to spiritually move obstacles isequivalent to the circumference of a mustard seed.

    A single mustard seed has the ability to produce more than100 additional seeds after it matures into a plant and it isused to cure many conditions. Look at the spiritualconnection. If we have the faith the size of a mustard seed,

    then as we mature in God, the power of our faith has thepotential to grow 100 fold. With that much faith, what is reallyholding us back?

    Scripture says that as we humble ourselves and come to God, he will lift us up.Living faithful is living completely dependent on God. It may be difficult to resistsome of the temptations of this world, but how awesome is it to know that ourGod has provided us with everlasting power to stand strong and devoted to Him!

    God has provided everyone with special talents and gifts. It is important toremember that one day, we will all be held responsible for how we are using whatGod has given us. The Bible says that those who use well what they are given,even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those whoare unfaithful, even what little they have will be taken away. What special talents,gifts, and responsibilities has God entrusted you with? How are you being faithfulby using what God has entrusted you with to further His kingdom?

    Meditation: I will activate my faith to move forward.

    Scripture to Memorise: Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if youhave faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move fromhere to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20

    BE MORE...OBEDIENTScripture Reading:Romans 6:

    At the very beginning of Earth's history, God gave two people an instruction.These two people were Adam and Eve, and God told them one thing; not to eat

    from a tree in the Garden of Eden. As it happens they ate from the one tree theywere told not to eat from, and mankind has had to live with the consequencesever since. With God, it isn't so much what we do on the outside that is significantto Him. What He cares about is the state of our hearts. When God tells us to dosomething and we do it, we do it because we trust that 1) He is good, and 2) Hecares about us and won't ask us to do something that will harm us. The momentwe feel we can't obey God, we are ultimately telling Him we know better.

    Obedience is an act of worship to God. Worship is all about letting God know howawesome He is, bringing glory to His name, showing the world how great He is.But if God gives us an instruction and we can't follow it because we don't trustHim enough, our words and songs are useless.

    As Christians, our greatest impact has to be our encounter with the Lord Jesus.One day while we were still very much sinners Christ died for us and became ourbridge from sinful nature to righteousness. The truth is that there was no other

    way for us to get back to our maker, God. It is through the gospel of grace that weearnestly respond to our deliverance from slaves to sin by becoming obedient tothe teachings of Jesus Christ. Obedience means that against what our minds orfeelings may direct, it is our true love of Jesus that compels us to comply with Hisword and teachings. If we love God with all my heart, it becomes difficult for us toignore His leading and guidance.

    Meditation: In what area of your life have you not

    obeyed God? Resolve to submit it to Him today.Scripture to Memorise: But thanks be to Godthat you, having once been slaves of sin, havebecome obedient from the heart to the form ofteaching to which you were entrusted,

    BE MORE...ENCOURAGINGScripture Reading: James 4 & 5:16

    So often we are guilty of not noticing others around us. We need to stop, look,and ask questions. This is where love kicks indo you love enough to act or

    just have empathy or sympathy? When you say you will pray for someone,dont fail to do it!

    Influence grows when we show compassion. We must model compassion, likethe Lord did in Luke 10:37, And he said, He that shows mercy on him. Thensaid Jesus unto him, Go, and do likewise. Genuine compassion powerfullyaffects those who receive it, those who give it, and those who observe it. Youcan offer to babysit for a young mother, or help in a financial way if you can, or

    just a smile, hug, or note can communicate compassion.

    Do you know of someone who does not know Jesus Christ as their personal Lordand Saviour? a co-worker, a friend, a neighbour, and even someone in your ownfamily. The fact is almost every born again believer knows at least one person whois not saved. Why then do you think that God has placed you in their life? Is it towitness and encourage them or to let your light shine before them so that they willdesire to know your God? Today take time out to pray for someone specifically you

    know who is not saved. Ask God to show and tell you exactly how to witness to thisperson or people He has for you to share your faith with. God desires for everyoneto be saved not just a select few but EVERYONE!

    Sometimes people dont feel as if we can get out from under depressed or inadequatefeelings. James says for us to confess to each other that we may be healed. Weshould share with others what the Lord has done for us so others may be encouraged.If we prayerfully share our situations, we can encourage each other.

    Meditation: Remember the promises God made to you.

    Scripture to Memorise: Confess your faults one toanother, and pray one for another, that you may behealed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous manavails much. James 5:16

    My 20/20 Prayer: What can you share that will encouragesomeone else
