WORKAHOLICS

Do you ever find yourself as fatigued on Monday morning as you were on Friday afternoon?
Do you ever bring home work in a briefcase and used the weekend to catch up on work you haven't got done?
Do you ever get tired just thinking of what you've got to do?
Do you ever feel guilty when you relax?
If you answer yes to one or more of the above questions, chances are good that you may be a Workaholic.

It's interesting to me that God has more to say about taking a day off than He does about either murder or adultery. The fourth is the longest of the Ten Commandments. It's as if He's saying, "I want you to take this serious, this is not a suggestion.
I am commanding you to take a day off every week. It's the antidote to burnout, the prevention against the stress-filled world we live in.
PROVERBS 14:30 (LB) "A RELAXED ATTITUDE LENGTHENS A MAN'S LIFE."

When you don't follow God's principles, if Christ is not the center of your life, the manager, calling the shots one of the clearest signs that your priorities are out of order, is that you are CHRONICALLY FATIGUED. I'm not talking about a physical ailment but an emotionally, physically fatigue all the time. You're out of balance.

What do I do when I'm that way? You come to Jesus Christ. Ask Him to help you. Say, take all of these parts of my life that are loading me down and help me to sort out what's really important. Become the manager of my life. Jesus said, "I will give you rest."
MATTHEW 11:28-29 (PH) "COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND OVER-BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST! FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT

The Power of Words

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can be used to spread gossip and lies, or they can be used to speak truth and love. The way we use our words is a reflection of our character. If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we

The Power of Prayer

  Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a powerful verse that contains God's promise to restore His people and their land if they will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. This promise was originally given to the nation of Israel, but it has relevance for believers today. Humility Humility is the first step towards true repentance and spiritual growth.

Prayer is also a powerful way to intercede for others and
