Awaken The King

Are you Creating Kingdom Legacy?

What would you like to leave for the next generations? Will it be money, land, a family business, or even a honorable family name? The Bible says a good person leaves an inheritance to their children's children.

The inheritance includes money, assets, property, and also your way of thinking. “Thinking” includes how and what you believe, what you believe about God, what you believe about eternity, and what you believe about how God's kingdom operates. It includes how you love, how you show honor, how you treat people, and how you help others.

Legacy is a continuation of you.

Do you remember the story of King Solomon? God appeared to him in a dream and asked him what he wanted. King Solomon asked for wisdom. Not only did God make him the wisest man, but also the wealthiest man,...and that's what he passed down his generations.

If you haven't had a good legacy passed down to you, it's your time to start building that legacy right now. By Design. Don't you want your kids to have every advantage in life thing possibly have, and every advantage spiritually that you can give them? Be intentional about your legacy.

So here’s the truth,...You ARE creating a legacy!

Either by design, or default.
By design: you're passing on the best of you.
By default: you're passing down whatever is remembered about you.
"Whatever is remembered" about you may be the worst part of you!

Have you ever heard the term "alignment before assignment"?

It’s a great phrase, but what does it really mean?
Are your alignments really that important?

Here’s the big question for today:
Are your wrong alignments keeping you from what God has in store for you or your assignment?

Would you like to understand more about alignments? Listen in to this episode.

I have been a serial entrepreneur my whole life. Like most entrepreneurs, I've made it and lost it several times. Before I understood the power of alignments, I would tell you why every business succeeded or failed based on strategies applied (being undercapitalized) among other things. After understanding the right alignments' power, I see their success and failures through a whole different filter. As I reflect on each business that I've had over the years, I will tell you that it was all due to the right or wrong alignments.

"No matter how big your dream is for your life, God's dream is bigger! You're not going to get there if you're surrounded by the wrong people."

"Don't be surprised when God is removing people from your life."

How You Can Grow Your Faith

Are you dealing with whatever is happening to you right now in a way that demonstrates faith? Have you found yourself in a situation where you only go to God when you have tried doing things by yourself and failed?

The Bible says that we cannot please God without faith - faith is the currency of heaven. Faith is knowing that no matter how small an issue is, God can handle it. We need to unlearn the habit of running to God only when going through difficult things.

We need to learn to go to God with thanksgiving. It pleases God when we thank Him for all He has done for us.

"You can't have faith in something and then speak against it. Your words have power."

"True Faith is not believing just in yourself or your ability to perform, but believing God will give you what you need for any and every situation -no matter how big or overwhelming."

"It takes faith to believe God will actually do what He said."

"When your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you praise, glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."

"Faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen."

When you’re seeking wisdom, you’re seeking more of God, more of the Holy Spirit, more of how God operates. How do you get wisdom? You ask, you seek, you knock, and you never stop because wisdom never stops - it’s limitless.

Honor is something that exists on some level throughout every culture within the world. In fact, it's been said that a civilization can't advance without honor. I believe your relationship with God can't advance without honor either!
