With my whole heart
“Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) I will praise and give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart in the council of the upright and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, sought out by all those who have delight in them.” Psalm111 (AMPC)
Praising God is awesome.
Extolling His Holy name is delightful.
Focusing on Him and worshiping Him in the beauty of His Holiness is the ideal.
With all my heart?
That is where the challenge is.
With total adoration of God.
The heart, at times, is full of distractions.
Many thoughts that rise through our minds somehow find their way into our hearts.
Promptly, instantly eliminate ungodly thoughts
Can you lovingly give your whole heart to God?
Especially when praising HIM.
Learn daily to shut out distractions in your heart that does not allow you to Praise Him
What’s going on in your heart right now?
“Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you” 1 Peter 5:7 TPT)
“Where can wisdom be found? It is born in fear of God. Everyone who follows his ways will never lack his living understanding. And the adoration of God will abide throughout eternity! “Psalm 111: 10 (TPT)
I will thank the LORD with all my heart.
My heartfelt thanks belong to God.
I give thanks to GOD with everything I’ve got.

The hand of the Lord was upon me
“The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.” Ezekiel 37:1 AMPC)
Whenever the hand of the Lord is upon you, the Holy Spirit is at work.
He is activated for a specific assignment.
“The power of the Lord was upon me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley full of old, dry bones that were scattered everywhere across the ground. He led me around among them,” Ezekiel 37:1-2 (TLB)
The Power of God came down on Ezekiel, his prophet, for a specific assignment.
What is the anointing of God resting upon you now for?
God is always equipping you and strengthening you for a specific assignment from time to time.
What is the purpose of the revelation knowledge HE has recently given you?
It is tremendous and always delightful to be in His presence.
However, you need to discern what assignment He has for you.
Ezekiel knew at this time that the focus was on the valley of the dry bones?
What is your next level of assignment?
“The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord, and God delights in every step they take to follow him.” Psalm 37:23 (TPT)

Never do it again
“If anyone of you has stolen from someone else, never do it again. Instead, be industrious, earning an honest living, and then you’ll have enough to bless those in need.” Ephesians 4:28 (TPT)
Never do it again.
Yes, Don’t do it again.
Stealing from some else is not for Kingdom citizens.
God expects you as his/her child not to lack in anything.
All things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21)
God ideal is for you also to meet your needs and satisfy all your wants
Be industrious.
Earn an honest living.
Ask God to give you ideas that will enable you to create wealth.
You have the capacity inside of you to produce and be a blessing to others.
Don’t use your office or privilege to steal.
Anything that is not yours, please do not take it.
“Theft” or “stealing” involves more than just taking physical objects from others.
Work: be honest.
Those who are dishonest swindlers are just as much “thieves” as those who steal openly.
Stop manipulating others, but personally work to provide for your own needs.
Don’t let the power of sin control and determine what you do daily.
“So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen Your hands are covered with blood. “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight Cease to do evil,”
Isaiah 1:15-16
Never again.
Live your daily life obeying the Holy Spirit
Whatsoever it’s not yours don’t take
“If you stay away from sin, you will be like one of these dishes made of purest gold—the very best in the house—so that Christ himself can use you for his highest purposes.” 2 Timothy 2:21 (TLB)

“You are to be holy because I am holy.”
“Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. Scripture says: “You are to be holy because I am holy.” “Since you call on him as your heavenly Father, the impartial Judge who judges according to each one’sone’s works, live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth.” 1 Peter 1:15-17 (TPT)
When you truly love God, your heartbeat is to do what pleases Him.
He Says HE is HOLY.
Therefore Holiness becomes your way of life.
The Holy Spirit Living inside of you guides you into living and staying Holy.
Feed your spirit with the Word of God, and you continuously experience revelations truths that keep you pleasing God in every area of your life.
“I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.” Leviticus 11:44 (NIV)
“Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ”Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.” Leviticus 19:2 (NIV)
Ask yourself again.
Will God do things the way I am doing it right now?
Will He Speak as I speak?
Will He go to those websites I go on the internet?
Will, He read the things I read?
Will He dress the way I am now?
Will He hang out with those friends I am hanging out with?
“I hear you,” You want to influence them for Christ.”
Really !!!
Are you?
Who is influencing who?
Be like God, in every aspect of your life.
“You call out to God for help, and he helps—he’she’s a good Father that way. But don’t forget, he’s also a responsible Father and won’t let you get by with sloppy living.” 1 Peter 1:17 (MSG)

To share with others.
“And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT)
The real reason why God Blesses you is for you to be able to share with others
Abraham and other Patriarchs increased in Blessings and Riches because they shared with others
Whatsoever God’s Grace has bought your way, remember it’s to be shared.
“God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it, He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out. This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11 (MSG)
Grace is “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense”
He has given you Wealth and Riches, share with others
He has extended His Love and Forgiveness to you, Love, and forgive others.
He has saved you; share your Salvation and Faith with others too.
