One Word That Will Change Your Life

The Power of One Word

Set

New Year's Resolution don't work!

50% of resolution -makers fail by the end of January and 9 out of 10 quit by March! So instead of resolutions, get One Word for the year... but be careful! It might just change you.

If you have the "get-it-done" mindset like we do, you have done your fair share of goal-setting at the start of each New Year. However, as time goes by. We felt frustration as we fell short on our ambitious plans. We tried to do too much and as a result, we did not do anything well.

In 1999, We started the simple discipline of developing a One Word theme for the upcoming year. That is right - One Word. Not a phrase or a statement., just a single word. By focus on just One Word, we have experienced incredible life-change year after year. When you discover your One Word for the year, it gives you more clarity, passion, and purpose for life.

The One Word exercise brings simplicity and focus. It cuts through the distractions and keeps us focused on what matters. It has stretched us in all areas: spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally, financially. God has transformed us through this exercise; God delights in life change.

There is a reason why we say, "Get One Word for the year...but be careful." As soon as you discover your name, the battle will begin. It will initiate a process of teaching, developing, refining, and molding. God will use your word as a light and a mirror-illuminating your path and revealing things that need to change. It facilitates a great journey of highs and lows all designed to make you into the person you created to be.

It has been our experience that God quickly reveals His plans for the year regarding your One Word. That word (be it a discipline, fruit of the Spirit, character trait, or attribute of God) will brand you for the year! So discover your One Word for the year and share it with others! It might just change your life!

Go

1. What is God saying to you this past year?
2. What area does God want to take hold of in your life and use for His glory?
3. How does God want to position you for the upcoming year?

Psalm 27:1-14; Luke 18:22; Mark 10:21

Overtime

"Dear Lord, I ask that you will make it a life-changing year. Reveal Yourself to me as You show me what my One Word theme will be. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I realize that it is a journey of learning not a task to accomplish. Strengthen me as I live out my One Word everyday. In Jesus 's name Amen."

Children of Light

"You, brethren, are not in darkness...You are all sons of light." 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 The Born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful. His eyes have been opened to spiritual truth. Jesus said that one of the reason He had come to earth was to preach "recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke 4:18). By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the Spirit of God helps us see our sin and our helplessness and show us God's redeeming grace in Christ. The Spirit reveals the truth of Jesus declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life" (John 8:12). We are no longer in the dark-we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of a world living in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of the light!

How can we trust God when we are facing Unemployment, Foreclosure or Bankruptcy?

The loss of employment or income is one of the most distressing events in life, especially for those supporting a family. Man or Woman facing unemployment, foreclosure or bankruptcy, there can be additional doubts about God's goodness and His promises to provide for His children. How are the people to react to these catastrophic life events? What Biblical principles can we apply to the loss of a home or a job and benefits. Work is described in the Bible as beneficial in that it provides for our needs; Proverbs 14:23; Ecclesiastes 2:24, 3:13, 5:18-19 and gives us the resources to share with other in need Ephesians 4:28 . At the same time, it may not be possible to find a positioin equal in pay and status to the one that was lost. In these cases, Christian should not allow pride to keep them from taking jobs in other fields, even if it means lowered status or less pay, at least temporarily. We should lso be willing to accept help from other believers and our churches, perhaps in e...

The Greatest is Love

" But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us. " Ephesians 2:4 What makes love so amazing? For starters, it is what motivated the Father to send His only Son to die for us. Without love, there would have been no redemption. Not only would we be without love, but without the redemption that was precipitated by love, there would also be no faith, and no hope. You see, nothing else matters, without love. It is foundational for every other good thing in our lives. PRAYER FOR THE DAY Our Father in Heaven, Today many people forgot how to love another and today it is easy to criticize those close to me; but Lord, give me your unreserved love so that they may know how deeply I appreciate them through God's love. We grateful that our Father show His love toward world. In Jesus Christ's name amen! Thank you for your time to read this message and hope to open your heart and mind to understand what is the greatest is love. Have a blessing day!
