Who are you yoked to? There are many things that we can be yoked to. Our past, success, failures, relationships but is it helping our hindering your relationship with God?
In our walk we always have to be conscious of the fact that the enemy still has access. Guarding our hearts requires us to be aware of our flesh 24/7. It crucial to self assess our pride, lusts, greediness and more daily so we can turn away from them and focus on what truly matters.

Reading God's word gives us instruction and allows us to reap the rewards and blessings he provides. All we have to do is follow his instruction.
Progress is progress no matter what. Moving toward something better no matter how small the movement is means everything. Stay humble and understand that marginal gains mean everything.
Having discipline is one of the most important things we can have when obeying God. By doing so it shows his presence in our lives and the power he provides us through our faith.
When we have the faith to believe it gives us the ability to obey. Being obedient to Gods word is a daily thing. Do not be conformed to the passions of your former self. Just as God is holy we are called to be holy and it begins with our obedience.
"Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger." Ephesians 4:26. As followers of Christ we have to be "long nosed". We don't need to stew in our feelings but rather be patient with ourselves, take it to God, and then seek closure and understanding.
God's WORD is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. A brighter experience involves God's word. It gives us an even brighter experience even when we think it's bright enough.
By pleasing God through our walk, allowing him to be in control, and praising him continually no matter the situation, it allows us to find peace and joy in everything we do. We do not need to sugar coat anything for he knows all things. We just need to seek him.
Walking in your Magnificence means you have to constantly check the external. More importantly is adjusting the internal to keep the Magnificence God has given you constant and unwavering in whatever we go through. Use the word to check the temp and allow God's word to regulate the temperature of the Magnificence he has given you.
Love should always be the foundation of our actions. God is love. God is the essence of love and through knowing Christ God has provide access through our faith to be rooted and grounded in love. Its not always easy but in doing so we can be filled with the fullness of God.
Where in our lives do we follow Christ so close that nothing phases us? Where living out our lives the way God intended it gives us peace in every situation. Who do you follow close?
The Word of God brings light to all things. Some run from it and others gravitate to it. In order to be the light we must be authentic. Being who we are and exposing things to the light allows us to fully depend on him and grow in the magnificence God has given us.
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love" 1 John 4:18. Perfect love knows no fear and Christ is the embodying image of how we are to live out in perfect love.
Letting God be the motor in your life allows people to see his glory. It’s not a check list of things to do but a constant dependency in Gods word and living it out daily. Let God be the motor in your life.
What we do with our lives matters. From the time we get up to when we go to sleep everything matters. Being present, putting things in their rightful place, and finding peace in every situation allows us to see clearly. It gives us a different lens to look through to find the good in everything and to grow in our Magnificence.
God's word is something that doesn't need to be solicited, All it needs is for us to be the light on a hill and to shine bright. Our actions and how we show up in our daily lives are all we need to share the Gospel
What seal do you have? The Seal Of God protects us from the wickedness of the world. It secures us and allows us to be a part of something greater that God has in store for us. So what seal do you have and what does it look like?
Being in the word is like mountain biking. You have to keep pedaling and shifting gears. Life gives us the hills and the valleys but as long as we keep pedaling and shifting gears in God's word there is nothing we cannot endure.
God already has everything ready for you. All you have to do is show up. Don't let circumstances, expectations, or what if's be the things that distance you from him. No matter where you are in your walk he has it covered and all you have to do is show up.
How are we set apart if we look the same way? As followers of Christ we have to be the light in the darkness and stand out from the world. By setting ourselves apart we are inviting God in to work in us so we may walk and live in the Magnificence God has for us.
If you already knew who the highest bidder was why would you even try to out bid them? Christ bought us for a price so we may obtain what was promised to us through him. An in order to receive the gift that was given to us we have to understand we cannot out bid the highest bidder and start putting him first.
Be alert. Like a watchmen on the wall we all have to look out for the enemies schemes and sound the alarm. Not only in our lives but in our hearts always be watchful of the things that do not serve the Magnificence God has given us.
When we see something out of the norm it requires action. Never let the enemy trick you into not doing the things that is noble in God's eyes. Be watchful of the things around you, study yourself approved, and help others no matter the response to live according to his word.
The things that influence you set the bar on the influence you can provide. What is your influence? Be watchful for the schemes of the enemy. Never sell you influence for mediocrity. Be aware of what influences you and the influence you provide.
As we put on the Armor Of God we must remember that prayer is our direct line to our father. Prayer keeps us alert and prepared for the enemies attacks. It aligns us with our father and who he has made us to be. In constant prayer we are able reach the full potential of the armor of God to guard us from the enemy but even more a relationship with our father that lasts forever.
The sword of the spirit is what we use to fight back against the enemy. It is the one weapon that the enemy cannot stand against. The word of God that we speak gives us the ability to go on the attack and ward off all the attacks of the enemy.
The helmet of salvation is key to our mindset. It prevents the enemy from infiltrating our thoughts and also keeps our thoughts on what is good and true. It helps us in our walk with Christ and the promises of God no matter the season we are in.
"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1. By taking action through the faith in Christ and living out our lives the way Christ has shown us the fiery darts of the enemy can never break down our shield so take action have and have faith.
To put on the shoes of the gospel of peace is more than just merely knowing the gospel. It is knowing Christ so much that there is a sense of peace or shalom the enemy can't compete with that allows us to stand firm in whatever situation we face and share the gospel with others.
The breastplate of righteousness covers our most vital organs. An its trough knowing Christ we are able to guard our hearts from the enemy. It's the righteousness through faith in Christ that becomes our breastplate.
What is truth? God's word. The belt of truth is what holds everything together. Through Christ we see what that is and how we are to live our lives. It allows us to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy no matter what and achieve the Magnificence he wants for us.
Get a taste of the importance of the Armor Of God and what it really means to put it on. Understand how important it is to put the full Armor Of God on and the benefits it has not just in our lives but the lives of others.
Honoring your message is living in your Magnificence every second of everyday. When we live out our message there is a ripple effect to the impact we have on others. It only takes a brief moment for people to know you are living out your message. Don't accept mediocrity live in your message and be Magnificent.
We all can empathize but when do we make it effective? Be the good samaritan and grow in your Magnificence to empathize to the level that makes it effective.
There will be times where we need to improvise. When unexpected things happen don't let the unknown derail you. Take the lesson from it and grow in you Magnificence.
In order to obtain Magnificence it requires us to give and receive feedback. Never settle for mediocrity. Be willing to help others achieve their Magnificence by providing the feedback needed.
Controlling the controllables is being willing to accept a situation and make the absolute best out of it. It's not letting an obstacle derail Magnificence. It's making Magnificence happen not just for you but for others around you and knowing you are not in control but he is.
The time to live is now. Stop worrying about tomorrow or thinking about the past. Be present in all that you do. Be thankful and content for what you have. An be Magnificent in what God has called you to become.
A vagabond has no home. A fugitive is running from home. A stranger is away from home. But a pilgrim is heading home. No matter the situation God is there waiting for you to come home.
Sometimes we give the enemy too much credit and that's the trick. We need to be honest with ourselves. Sin has many forms and if not checked leads us down a path of mediocrity. It's the gradual things, the small things that we need to be aware of within ourselves. We need to question those things, strive to understand them, and correct them. This is what leads to a life.
Temptation is something we face everyday. The desires of the flesh, eyes and pride of life surround us. It's what tires to keep us mediocre. Temptation keeps us chasing after things that are of the world and gives us temporary fulfillment. Instead abide in God and be Magnificent.
In this three part series see how the testing of God builds our faith and trust in the Lord. It gives us peace in knowing we can trust in him and allows us to grow in the Magnificence he has called us to be.
False Evidence Appearing Real. The only fear we need to have is the one that brings us closer to God. It's a healthy fear. A fear that is the beginning of knowledge. It's a fear that no matter what season we are in we trust in the Lord. It gives us life and allows us to face the challenges of life.
The way we show up is a direct reflection on our relationship with God. It's what Magnificence looks like. It goes against the grain of the world and is a light that spotlights the Magnificence God provides. It's what makes us stand out and help others find their Magnificence.
There are somethings that require you to just walk. Instead of speeding through things to obtain whatever it is, you have to understand the Magnificence comes in the walk.
Do you consider God your master or mascot? Is God the one you depend on no matter the situation or is he the one that we look for to cheer us on when things are going well? Be humble be magnificent and praise God in all things.
There are times where we think we can figure it out on our own but get nowhere. In these moments we need to lean into what God is trying to tell us. Lean into him and not our own understanding.
We all have experienced disruptions that shake us to the very core. Some of them harder than others but it is in these moments you find what is truly unshakable.
Put your movement to the test! It's not just about finishing. It about growing and improving each and everyday. Accepting help, realizing there is more to improve on, and going the extra mile makes Magnificence shine even brighter.
What's your reputation? Are the things we do congruent with the reputation God wants for us? Remember we are the head not the tail. A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation who is called out of darkness in his marvelous light.
Magnificence isn't something that starts on the outside. Magnificence comes from within. It's the things we do in secret that only our father knows. Its a relationship with him in secret that manifests Magnificence.
Don't fall victim to mediocrity. Magnificence is showing up the best way you can. It's ignoring the tricks that mediocrity throws at you and giving it all to him. Be Magnificent no matter the season and mediocrity doesn't stand a chance.
There are several different kinds of vessels in a great house. Some more elaborate than others but they ALL serve a purpose. Don't settle for mediocrity, be the Magnificent vessel that God has called you to be.
Magnificence doesn't care how you feel! Sometimes we just don't "feel" like it but it's in those times growth will or won't happen. Don't let your feelings trick you out of your victory and settle for mediocrity. Recognize them, put them in check, and be Magnificent.
There is no middle ground for what God calls us to be. Magnificence isn't lukewarm. By putting God first in all we do according to his word we live out Magnificence to the fullest and cast mediocrity to the side.
In order to live the Magnificence God calls you to be you have to continually learn Gods word, unlearn the ways that lead to mediocrity, and relearn the purpose God has for us each and every day.
It's one thing to thank someone for rescuing you but when they are your rescue its a different deal. God always wants what's best for us, for our good and his glory. Keeping him in the forefront of everything we do not only shows that he is our salvation but gives proof to others that he can be theirs as well.
What people think of you is none of you business. Having a relationship with God is your business. Why? Because you are valuable, you are loved, you are new, you have his spirit, you will be transformed; but most of all you represent him.
When God asks things of us we need to respond with here I am. Showing up goes a long way instead of not showing up at all. When we respond it transfers the energy an allows us to communicate on a deeper level in every aspect of our lives. Even though we may not be where we want to be being fully present in the Magnificence God wants for us allows us to be a light for all.
There is a place for sprouting; but in the business of Magnificence you must grow to reach the full potential you are capable of.
What steps are you willing to take to make this year, month, day different. What are you willing to do to push the needle of progress towards the Magnificence God has in store for you. Remember miracle territory is a mindset. Everything begins in the mind. Being able to live according to the word and seeking him first requires discipline and consistency but in doing so reaps so much more than we could possibly imagine, so choose Magnificence.
Sometimes we have to learn to run again as a believer. It takes time and discipline but more than anything we have to want to run the race. It takes a lifetime. It’s not always easy but learning to run the race as a believer allows us to take the prize that last forever.
New year new goals! How do we start? By revaluing your values. By taking a look at the core, the heart, the very foundation you build your house on. An in that revaluing know who you are, what you cost and who you can become with the Magnificent gifts God has given you.
Taking ownership for The Kingdom is the refiners process. The constant refining of how we show up and live according to the word. How we plant the seed to reap a harvest of Magnificence through being a steward for The Kingdom. How do you take ownership? Live according to the word.
Worry is a product of not being present. It's us trying to control things we cannot control instead of focusing on what we can control. Its worrying about things of tomorrow instead of being present today. How do we conquer worry? Focus on what we can control and be Magnificent in doing it.
There are blessings in the reproof we receive. We all make mistakes. We all have things we need to work on. When correction comes and it comes from love and we receive it in love nothing but Magnificence can come from it. Reproof is the fork in the road for a sinful soul. It guides us an allows us to be Magnificent.
In order to know your purpose you have to know where your identity comes from. Know that God's plan is the plan and his purpose always prevails. To know him is to know our identity. We are loved, chosen, forgiven, and so much more. Put him first, honor him, worship him and give him all the Glory. In doing so our identity in him opens the doors to Magnificence.
When we are covered by God we have to move differently. Knowing God is one thing but having a relationship and living out our purpose that he wants for us takes it to a whole new level. Whether it be with our mindset, movement, meals, meetups, message just to name a few we all need to move differently when we are covered by God.
Being chivalrous is not just being a knight in shining armor. It requires us to serve. It is putting others before ourselves for the kingdom. It is standing in the gap, speaking out, humbling ourselves. To be a light to others and do what is right.
The secret to finishing something isn't really a secret. It's knowing what you want to accomplish and taking the necessary actions to get it done. The key is what is it? What's the why? Don't settle for mediocrity but finish with Magnificence.
Have you fallen into the consumer cycle? Do you even know what it is? Everyday we are exposed to wants and needs both consciously and subconsciously. We do it for different reason but the reason why is key. The consumer cycle keeps you wanting more and that what we have is not enough. Be content, be aware, be Magnificent.
Discouragement is the ongoing lies that the enemy uses to keep us from the Magnificence God has for us. There will be trails and seasons in life but holding fast to God's provision in whatever we go through can allow us to cast out the discouragement of the enemy.
The enemy distracts us on a multitude of levels. From work, debt, material things, status, it all can lead to distraction. See how keeping God first gives us the power to ignore the distractions and focus on the Magnificence that God has for us by putting him first.
A house divided falls. Division is what keeps us from reaching the Magnificence God has for us in our lives. It pulls us away from him and others around us. Don't let the enemies division be the idol that separates us from Magnificence or the anchor that weighs you down in mediocrity. Defeat division be Magnificent.
Doubt, it's one of the enemies most noted tactics. It steals the Magnificence God wants for us. The first question that caused doubt happened in the Garden. See how it takes away from God's word and his goodness for us. How doubt causes us to question Gods plan for our lives. By trusting God's word, reading the word, living in the word, and staying in the word see that we can conquer doubt for good.
Sometimes God doesn't need you to see it but to have faith. God's ways are not our ways but being able to reflect and understand the situations we go through allow us to fully appreciate what goes on in our daily lives. It humbles us to give thanks to God in everything we experience and focus on him rather than the enemy.
Your message is what provides nourishment to the world. Like an acorn our Magnificence has the potential to become something bigger. The resiliency we have to keep walking in our faith and doing what's right for God's Kingdom is a sacrificial nourishment that brings light to the dark. It chooses Magnificence over mediocrity.
