For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.--Ephesians 5:8

A Call to Excellence 
​
Our life in Christ is a call to excellence that requires faith, forgiveness, and the courage to change. As we change, we sometimes fall short of God's calling for excellence in our lives. When we fall short, we press on by forgiving ourselves and others. It is through God's forgiveness that we are called out of darkness into His marvelous light. 
 
Daily Declaration
 
Lord, I decree and declare that as You have called me from darkness to Light, my new life in You is a call to excellence. In Jesus' Name I declare it to be so! Amen!

Let's not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest-if we do not give up.  - Galatians 6:9
 
A Due Season and a Set Time

Every seed has a due season for its harvest. Each day God gives us opportunities to sow seeds of love, kindness, faith, mercy, and hope into the lives of others. When we sow seeds (whether positive or negative) we can rest assured that there is a set time for us to receive our harvest. Depression robs us of God's pre-ordained harvest for our lives. Sometimes doing what is right in a world that is bent on doing what is wrong can be tiresome and lead to weariness. You don't have to become a victim to depression. Today is a new day and you have a set time and a due season to reap a bountiful harvest!
 
A Daily Declaration
 
Lord, I degree and declare that I will not become weary in doing what is right and that in due time I will receive my pre-ordained harvest.  In Jesus’ Name I declare it to be so. Amen.

​For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.--Ephesians 5:8
 
There are times when it seems as if you are all alone and surrounded by darkness. The darkness of depression can make these times very difficult, disheartening, and sometimes destructive. As a Senior Pastor, I have come to understand and realize that God's calling is what really matters. As a matter of fact, it supersedes all else! God is more concerned about our salvation in Christ than He is our circumstances of comfort. Our life in Christ is a call that requires forgiveness, faith, and fortitude.  In answering Gods' call, we sometimes fall short of the excellency of His power. When we fall short, we press on by forgiving ourselves and others. It is through God's forgiveness that we are called out of darkness into His marvelous light.  In Christ, we have been called from the darkness of despair into the Light of Love. God has promised never to leave or forsake so we are never alone! Now that we are Children of the Light, let us walk in that light by living in a way that glorifies God. Be encouraged and walk in the Light!
 
Decree and Declare
 
Lord, I thank You for calling me from darkness to Light! I am not alone and living in the Light of Your Love is a call to excellence. In Jesus' Name I pray! Amen!
