The Bereans were called noble by Paul because they checked out what he preached against Scripture. I agree with that, everything we say should be checked out against Scripture. But the wording in Acts is very specific. Acts 17.11 says “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character… because they examined the Scriptures dailyContinue reading “Principles of Success 08: Be a Looker for the Good”

You were created to have dominion, that is how God made man. The problem with life is if the individual created to have dominion over a situation does not take that dominion, does not take charge, someone else will take it illegitimately. If you do not take charge of your body, sickness will. If youContinue reading “Principles of Success 07: Dominate Before You Are Dominated”

Whenever something happens, whenever something around you is visible, is audible, can be sensed, whether we are successful or not depends on how we frame what we see. How we frame what we see is one of the most important keys to living the life of Christ, the life of abundance, the life of faith.Continue reading “Principles of Success 06: See It Right”

The most powerful thing that God gave you is your ability to choose. You can choose what you think, you can choose what you feel, you can choose what to do with your life. You can choose to be a success or fail. You can choose to learn how to live your life as theContinue reading “Principles of Success 05: Make Good Choices”

God has designed the universe to work, and gave us a Bible to find out how it works. There are principles to success and those principles are very exact.

BeingContinue reading “Principles of Success 04 Submit to the Flow”

So never be ashamed of how big our God is, how much we win, and how much blessing He wants to pour out on us.Continue reading “Principles of Success 03 Never Be Ashamed of the Size of our God!”

You cannot succeed in life until you see yourself the way God sees you.  Your mind is like soil, it just takes all the seeds sowed into it and reproduces them according to kind. If I took some soil and planted wheat, I would get wheat. I could not get anything else.  The soil hasContinue reading “Principles of Success 02: See You The Way God Sees You”

I recently got an email correcting me for preaching a “success and prosperity” gospel. I thought of replying “well, it’s better than preaching a failure and poverty gospel”. How can failure and poverty be good news? No – being rich and successful is our right as Christians! Our redemption takes care of poverty and bringsContinue reading “Principles of Success 01: Success is Your Right as a Christian (and your responsibility)”

The Christians that win are the Christians who focus on the invisible. The Christians who focus on the visible are those who fail and lose. The Christian who focuses on the invisible has a different world, different peace, different ministry from the Christian who focuses on the visible. This is so important. This is theContinue reading “Principles of Local Church 14 Focus on the Invisible”

One of the nine Tree of Life Churches that I have planted in the UK in the last decade once had what I wrongly called a church split. We had raised the church up to about forty people, and it was thriving. We saw cancers disappear, broken bones healed in the middle of the service,Continue reading “A Church Split? Or Maybe Not.”
