"Start Your Day Right and Never Look Back"

These are the nuggets I took away from Dr. Roy Farmer's talk on Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at the morning Senior Manager's group for Between Job Ministries (BJM)

"What you do in the future is more important than anything you have done in the past."

"I must decide everyday who is going to dominate my day -- Satan or God."

How to have God Dominate your Day:

1. Thank God each morning for your salvation. Pray the blood of Jesus over yourself and each member of your family.
2. Claim James 1:5-6. Remember, if God says it, I believe it, and that settles it for me.
3. Claim Psalm 118:24 and Nehemiah 8:10.
4. I need to see myself through the eyes of God. I need to see others through the eyes of God. I need to help others see themselves through the eyes of God.
5. Name 10 new blessings from God each morning. Keep them in a journal.
6. Ask God to help you walk today in the power of the Holy Spirit.
7. Thank God for reserving for you the best job you have ever had.
8. Commit the day to the Lord for his purposes.
9. Read "A Love Letter From God ..."
   

You Are Vitally Important
because ...
God Loves You!

"Psalm 23"

These are the nuggets I took away from Dr. Roy Farmer's talk on Psalm 23 at the Senior Managers meeting of BJM on Wednesday, January 4th, 2012.

Statistics for 2011:

• More than 3,200 people went through BJM in 2011. (Did someone get the actual number?)
• BJM was notified by 1,270 people that they had landed in 2011.
• 75% of those landings were people who had joined a JSWT.

"Don't consume your tomorrow feeding your yesterday"

"God is the source of our successes"

"God does not take, divide, add, or subtract -- He is a Multiplier"

PSALM 23

The LORD is my shepherd, (that's relationship)
I shall not want. (that's supply)
He makes me lie down in green pastures; (that's rest)
He leads me beside the quiet waters. (that's refreshment)
He restores my soul; (that's healing)
He guides me in the paths of righteousness (that's guidance)
For His name's sake. (that's purpose)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (that's testing)
I fear no evil, (that's safety)
for You are with me; (that's faithfulness)
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. (that's discipline)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; (that's hope)
You have anointed my head with oil; (that's consecration)
My cup overflows (that's abundance)
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, (that's blessings)
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD (that's fellowship)
forever. (that's eternal)

Summary: God wants a relationship with us so that we can have fellowship with Him for all eternity. Along the way he will supply, give rest, refreshment, and healing as He guides us for His purposes. When testings come, He will keep us safe, for He is faithful to never leave us.  Because he loves us He disciplines us. He is our hope. He has consecrated us. He gives to us in abundance. He blesses us.
