Daily Devotional – 2/7/18 “Heroine Addict”

I don’t know if you are aware of this but I recently released a women’s journal titled Heroine Addict. When people see the word HEROINE, they automatically think of the drug heroin but this isn’t what I am referring to. I am referencing the heroine or female hero that you are. See, a heroine is defined as a woman admired or idealized for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. And the purpose of this journal is to get you to believe in yourself, for a change. Why? Because your destiny depends on it. This is why you need to become a heroine addict, addicted to the heroine you are. Oh, I know today may be a day you don’t feel like a heroine especially when it seems like everything is hitting you at once. Bills behind, head hurting, nose running, child got in trouble at school, nail in the tire, folk on the job acting crazy, stomach growling, hair needs to be fixed and on top of that you chipped a nail. You got folk calling you from the church because you’ve been volunteered to be chairperson of women’s day. Folk texting who needs encouragement and the fact is, you don’t feel like encouraging yourself and them either. Yet you do it because your strength lies in God and not your natural body or mind because you believe what God said.

For bible shares in Luke 1:45, “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” This was talking about Mary, whom responded in Luke 1:46-50, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me. He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.” See, when you step into your rightful place and claim your title of Heroine, it is not only for you but for generations that will come after you. This is why we have to stop passing down generational curses and instead give generational cures to the chosen and the called. We can no longer sit by and wait to see if it’ll happen because the time is now to walk into destiny with our heads held high, loudly proclaiming, “I am a Heroine Addict” because greatness lies within me. No longer shall I be ashamed of who I am when I know whose I am. I am of noble quality and of royal lineage and I will act like it. And I’ll walk in greatness, even if it hasn’t arrived yet because I believe what I heard and I heard somebody say, “God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”

Daily Devotional – 2/6/18 “We have to go through!”

We go through K-12 before we graduate high school. We go through 2-4 years of college before we get a degree. We go through interviews before we get a job. We go through traffic before we reach our destination. We go through labor to give birth. We go through pain to heal. We go through grief to deal with lost. We go through training to learn. And sometimes, we even go through mistakes that teaches us, the hard way. In short, we go through. When we do, we deal with it. We deal with the pain of sickness, the grueling schedules of work, the accidents on the highways, the test and homework of school, the many failed relationships until you meet ‘the one,’ the pain of pushing out a baby and the juggling of bills versus money. We deal with the hectic throngs of life trying to be all for everybody and yourself. We deal with all those things. Yet, we have the hardest time dealing with spiritual warfare. We can find time to fight folk (physically, mentally and via social media) but we will not fight through fasting and prayer. We find the time to throw a fit when you’re mad at spouse but we’re afraid to cry loud and spare not the ears of the enemy. We lay down for folk but we will not lay on our face to fight spiritually.

Think about it. We get hurt, friends and family members die, we get in debt, we get sick, marriages end, businesses close and job lays you off and while you are praying; God doesn’t move as quick as you think so you get mad. You get mad at God and you stop going to worship unless it’s a benefit. You don’t pay tithes unless there’s a benefit to you. You don’t pray unless you’re in trouble. You don’t fellowship and you don’t serve unless it’s to be seen. What happened to going through the good and the bad? You can vow at the wedding but what about spiritually? Are you not willing to go through for Christ’s sake when He was willing to go through for yours? You know the story of how Jesus was accused, found not guilty but was still sentenced to death. He was persecuted by the people, beaten, made to carry His cross, hung, bled and died; He went through. But at the sign of trouble we throw in the towel, when God said just believe in me. We get sick and give up, when God has healing in the palm on His hand. We are quick to end the marriage when it gets hard, when God said what He has joined together let no man put asunder. What happened to going through? Where is the faith? Where is the trust in God? Where is the knowing, God got me? When will we get like Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:10 and confess, “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Yes, we have to go through but go through knowing, God has me covered.

Daily Devotional – 2/5/18 “Live!”

What if you were told today, you have six months to live; what would you do with the time you have left? I know this may be hard to think about and even for some, a devastating reality, but I need you to go there. See, I ask the question as a way to prick something within you because too many of us are taking the precious moments of life for granted. We put off stuff thinking we have time. We don’t take time to make memories because we think we have time. We don’t appreciate, like we should, because we think we have time. We don’t serve like we could because we think we have time. We don’t appreciate and celebrate the small things because we think we have time. What if you didn’t? What if today or tomorrow or Friday or six months from now was your last day? Would you be happy with the way you’ve lived? Would you be pleased with the way you’ve left things? Would you be satisfied with the way you’ve served? Would you be content with the memories?

Or would you need the last six months to get your affairs in order? Would you have worked so much that you’d need the last six months to make memories with your family? Would you need the time to take pictures because you never stopped to do them before? Would you need time to make amends? Would you need time to forgive? Well beloved, this is your wake up call. No, I am not about to say you have six months to live but I simply stopped by to tell you are ALIVE! Right now, at this very moment, you are alive. You don’t have to believe me. Blink, inhale, exhale, move a limb or speak. Yep, you’re alive so what are you going to do? Will you keep holding grudges or offer grace? Will you continue to harbor anger or will you release it and breath? Will you keep taking life for granted or will you appreciate the life you’ve been granted? Think about it but not for long because you’re alive and you have another chance to do whatever it is you want to do. All you have to do is try. Even if it doesn’t work, you don’t get approved or you don’t get the call back; it’s better to say you tried than saying, I wanted to try it and never did. You’re alive so take a chance. “For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.—Job 33:4”
