What does it mean to be a disciple? The dictionary defines the word “disciple” as a disciplined one. The Apostle Paul was this kind of disciple. He said, “I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified” …
We will never hit the bull’s eye until we know what the target is. The kingdom of darkness designs distractions to detour us from our course, to get us off track. If he gets us off course—focused on something other than our assignment—he doesn’t have to be concerned about whether we will produce fruit. Distractions …
In order to live a joyful and meaningful life, we must possess a God-given vision, a strong purpose that directs us on our journey through life. Without a cause we lose our motivation. We will go through life simply existing. Life without a God-given purpose is meaningless. Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, …
The kingdom of darkness often uses distractions to detour us from our God-given purpose. Distractions are meant to get us involved in anything other than what God wants us to do. The devil’s aim is to distract us from God’s way of life. Paul warns believers in Second Corinthians 2:11 about the dangers of the …

Proverbs 1:33 says, “But whoever listens to me will dwell safely and will be secure, without fear of evil” (NKJV). It is not the will of God that we live our lives dreading each day. Dread and anxiety steal the joyous life that God designed us to experience. The kingdom of darkness would like to …
The kingdom of darkness has a mission to distract and detour us from the will of God. He can succeed by simply keeping us busy doing things other than what God has directed us to do. When we get busy with other things we will not live the abundant life God has designed for us. …
A great deal of time, anxiety, and money could be saved if we began our day waiting expectantly on the Lord to show us and teach us His ways. We may reason in our minds, however, that spending time waiting or doing nothing would only add pressure and stress to our already busy schedule. But, …
Too often Christians try to handle their situations without asking the Lord for direction or help. Perhaps they think the situation is not big enough to bother God. Or maybe they think because they are responsible for causing the mess in the first place, they should be responsible for fixing it. That, however, is not …
In the midst of a fast-paced world filled with decisions, difficulties, and distractions, we can discover the relief and refreshing the Lord intended for us.
