It's Just Nice to be Nice

So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God's family with you, the believers].--Gal. 6:10 AMP

Many times we do things that are right but never seem to get a word of thanks. We work hard, treat people with love but still see no tangible results. However, we as believers have a charge or mandate from God to go out into the highways and byways and help those in need, be a witness for the Kingdom of God and to love as Christ Himself loves the church. We are Holy-Spirit filled believers, clothed in righteousness and set aside of His good use. So it is a must that we, as a peculiar people, still find ways to be a blessing, despite how people treat us. What are some of those ways?

1. Lend a helping hand.
2. Pray for others.
3. Give someone a hug.
4. Telephone people you haven't seen or heard from in a while to tell them you were thinking of them.
5. Run errands for people who don't have the means to do it themselves.
6. Send food or clothes not just to people you know, but also strangers.
7. Volunteer time in a shelter or orphanage.
8. Sit with the elderly in a nursing home (they would love your company).
9. Mentor a child.
10. Smile (that may be the only smile they receive).

When you take the time to do for others, God will do for you. AND you will feel good in the process.

Be Thankful for the Little Things

Phil 4:11b AMP: "For I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am."

As we go into the Holiday Season, many of us just had the chance to spend time with family and friends, eat much turkey and sweet potato pie, and for some, shop till our hearts content on the infamous "Black Friday". However, during all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays, please remember that there are others who didn't get the chance to spend time with family, may not have had turkey, and had no money to even think of and spent their time --maybe even home alone.

There are many times during this holiday season where I've thought about my past and thank God no matter what condition in life I'm in to be content with the little things. As He provides us with the little things to be a steward over, he will in turn grant us the much based on our character towards what we have, and our hearts during times when it seems like we should be complaining. But really why?

Many of us have our health and strength. If we didn't, many of us would not be able to even read this post. We have family and/or friends to support and be by our sides. And even if we didn't for one reason or another, we have our ultimate friend, Jesus Christ and His word to comfort and guide us during difficult times.

Many times when we don't have, it may seem like God doesn't hear us, but it's when we truly put our faith to action and trust and believe that God will provide, that at the last opportune moment, God comes at the knick of time. God is our provider--Jehovah Jirah!

Phil. 4:12 AMP: "I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want."

So, I stress to you today, be thankful for the little things. There's so many things that we take for granted. It's when we get down to our last (I can truly attest) that what was once a common occurrence, truly becomes a luxury that truly makes you grateful for those moments more than any other. When God's open door swings open wide, you will KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that God was the one who gave you the promise.

God bless you and Happy Holidays!

Upcoming Webinars You Don't Want to Miss!

Two very exciting opportunities are coming your way just in time for the New Year! Investing in these two events can literally change your life and put you on the path to your divine destinies in Christ! Take a look at both and email me at keystothekingdomcoach@gmail.com for how you can register!

There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. (1 Cor. 12:4-5).

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. (1 Pet. 4:10)

1.) I will be offering a Spiritual Gifts Coaching Call on Monday, Nov. 29th at 8:30PM EST. You will get a special code from me to take a spiritual gifts assessment via the internet, get results immediately, then go through an hour webinar with me as I break down the 23 spiritual gifts associated in scriptures. All of this while helping you discover the path God has for you. It is an eye-opener! $20 is all it costs to cover the assessment you will be taking. 2011 is coming--you don't want to miss your calling!

2.) Also join me on Dec. 9th, at 8:30PM EST to talk about why we as a people do, act, and think the way we do! How? Through the DISC Personality Profile Assessment! What is DISC? The DISC Model of Human Behavior describes the four basic temperament types:(Choleric) D-type, (Sanguine) I-type, (Phlegmatic) S-type, and(Melancholy) C-type. Everyone is a blend of DISC behavior. No normal person has a bad personality. It's what you do with your DISC personality that may be good or bad. Identifying your DISC personality blend/s is vital to effective leadership and relationships. Join me on Dec. 9th, at 8:30PM EST to talk about why we as a people do, act, and think the way we do! You will take the DISC personality assessment, and go through a webinar with me to see how we can use our personalities and the personalities of others to influence change within our businesses, ministries, and relationships. $30 covers the cost of taking this assessment! ALL ARE INVITED!

New Spiritual Gifts Coaching Call

Spiritual Gifts are supernatural motivations given to every believer. Everyone doesn't receive the same gift. Just as many parts of the human body work together as one, so Spiritual Gifts are given to the Body of Christ to serve as one.--Dr. Mels Carbonell

I will be offering a coaching call on Spiritual Gifts on Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 8:30PM, which will include your taking a Spiritual Gift Assessment designed to give you a 70 page profile of your dominant gifts and descriptors for each that you will get to keep and print out. We will then discuss them on the call and give you valuable tools to help you go forth in the right ministries based on your dominant gifts! You don't want to miss this!
