Ways to be B.A.D #24: Remember Your Purpose

Every day someone is born, they are born with purpose. It is what God instills in you; period. How your purpose is developed is specific for you; how you use it is determined by you.








The word of God says that gifts are given without repentance. So that means you got it, but will you
give GOD GLORY IN HOW YOU USE IT?






There is purpose and plan in your life, what is it? Have you been working day to day only to build on someone elses dream? Do you believe that your purpose is just for them and not for you? Do you believe that God intended for you to be about THEIR BUSINESS , and not HIS BUSINESS?










Think about it, your purpose is really important!









Each day God gives you filled with grace, favor and mercy, understand you must fulfill you purpose, but also remember you must give God the glory as well.

Ways to be B.A.D. #23: You are a Queen

Ladies, never under estimate your true potential in the lives of those around you, and YOU! You are a queen. I have a charm on one of my necklaces that I have had for years, and it says black princess, but I'm a queen. I keep it because it was one of the things that reminded me of my worth. ONCE YOU CAN GRASP ON TO ONE THING, you can go higher

BUT WE ARE ALL QUEENS. Even as mothers, we hold our heads high; we tackle more things than men do because we hold ourselves at a HIGHER STANDARD, and get through, when it seems like we cant' even get TO!
.



You are #BAD, because you are  #QUEEN.


 Consider Hadassah who became Esther, but not only Esther, but QUEEN ESTHER. She remembered her faith, respected herself, her heritage and her husband. He revered her and LOVED ON HER LIKE WE ALL WANT OUR HUSBANDS TO LOVE ON US.


You are QUEEN.

Ways to be B.A.D #21: Impact Others

Oh this is hard to share sometimes. Why? Because most people only want to impact what is happening in their own homes. They don't want to do what is necessary for everyone just the people that are closest to them.

That is not IMPACTING OTHERS.

When I consider who I am in ministry and in business, I know that what I say and do will impact others, regardless of how they make reference to me. I know that people don't like what I say, or even how i say it, but it helps them.

Will they be honest about the IMPACT?  No. Is that okay with me? Yes. I am fulfilling an assignment. I can't step back or decide not to be obedient. What is wrong with the world when we feel like because I'm hurt, I don't want to complete my task at hand? Saints don't have that choice.

So, IMPACT OTHERS.

Remember the post on don't bury your talents? This is why; you have to use those talents to impact the lives of others. Does it always happen in your house. No. It happens with everyone who is connected to you.

Get on ladies! YOU ARE READY FOR THIS.

Ways to be B.A.D. #20: Endure til the End

When you wake up in the morning, sometimes the first thing on your mind are the problems of yesterday. Let me share this with you: IF GOD WOKE YOU UP TODAY, HE MEANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN YESTERDAY.

What is the problem right now? Look at what you want out of life, and ask yourself what is holding you back?

You're tired and you don't want to keep battling this problems. At what point do you trust God and say I'm not having it any more? It's not that you are not having it, it is YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THROUGH IT. You must endure til the end.

Matthew 24:13King James Version (KJV)

¹³ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

There is a lot of patience being built in you when you endure. Yes, I know it is hard, and YES, I know that, as women, we want to be in total control of everything, but WE CAN'T.  We have to suffer through. When I tell you that I know God has a plan for me and for you, I know that the plan entails going through. 

Remember we can't get our breakthrough without going through.

Ways to be B.A.D #19: Do Not Bury Your Talents

There comes a time where you will have to do what is necessary, but not logical. Every time I talk to one of my men-tees, or those that are part of my assignment, I let them know that God gives us something to build on and share with others. When you don't use what you are supposed to, you are basically burying your talents.

Take for example for your life the scripture about the 10 talents; Matthew 25: 14-30. Of all the talents that were given out, there was one that buried his out of fear. Fear of the unknown. We all go through that point in our lives where we know that we have something good, but because of fear, we don't move into that GREATER DESTINY.

Destiny. Your destiny. Your talents

God didn't give us a spirit of fear. Why do we find it so easy to walk in what is unnecessary and prohibiting our growth? You ahve to be so determined for greater that you will walk SCARED. I remember the words someone said to me once, that I keep in my mind: we have to have so much fear that we will move.

Why hesitate? Don't bury your talents. d

There is someone waiting on you to do what GOD SAID, but they can't move because you haven't moved.

I sit here in my office today and I look at two buildings I should have in my possession right  now and I don't. I was too scared to make the calls that would give me the opportunity to have those buildings.

No more fear. If you know you buried those talents, DIG THEM UP!!

Ways to be B.A.D #17: Encourage Yourself

This is really a no brainer. BUT, I know that it is hard. Man! It's hard to realize that you might have to go BY YOURSELF, in all areas of your life. You might have to run a race alone, and WIN ALONE. I all thy getting, get an understanding.

I don't understand everything all the time, but when I know I have to do it alone, I just do it ALONE!!! I encourage myself every time I go to bed, and every time I wake up. I do what is necessary for me and I dont' even talk about it.

I know that ENCOURAGEMENT is beneficial for me and what I need to do. Let me tell you, that no matter what life LOOKS LIKE, if you wake up every morning, YOU HAVE GRACE, FAVOR AND MERCY to get through and do!


You have to pray and pray more, and just keep stepping. The moment you realize you are not moving, you are not loving on you and trying to build where you are. You have to be so in tune to YOU, that you even BROKE AS YOU MAY BE, you need to encourage yourself.

Ways to be B.A.D. #16: Understand that you are capable!

Every day I work with partners in building their business and taking care of their life. There are times where I feel so connected to them when I hear them say that they have been discouraged. Discouraged people will agree with what is said, or try to get encouraged. As a coach, I'm imploring all of you to GET ENCOURAGED; don't believe the lie.



When you understand how capable you are, you have already determined that you are blessed, anointed and destined, to work hard and build.

Consider what you want that will help you in the BILLIONAIRE, or  BREAKTHROUGH LIFESTYLE. You have to take things with a grain of salt, but push! The taste of life may be bitter, but your capabilities can supersede all that is going WRONG AROUND YOU.

What are some of your strengths and some of your weaknesses?
What are you doing to build on those strengths and diminishing those weaknesses?
Are you looking more at the weaknesses?

GET OVER IT!
Dream BIg?
Look at learning you are capable!

Ways to be B.A.D # 14: Be Equally Yoked

If you really think that being equally yoked has only to do with marriage you are not reading your Bible thoroughly,

2 Corinthians 6:14King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Ladies, the problem we have is we think its okay to be 1/2 the person God says to be even with friends, but we are supposed to be wise in choosing our friends. 

You don't have time to be walking with folks that don't agree with ALL THE WORD. An unbeliever is anyone! The person that doesn't believe in your business or ministry, is the one that doesn't believe the LORD THAT SENT YOU TO ACCOMPLISH THAT/THOSE TASK(S)
It is time that you look at every relationship you have and determine if that person (male or female)is for you; you don't have any time to waste.

Ways to be B.A.D. #13: Ask, Seek, Knock

The word of God tells us to Ask, Seek, Knock.

In order to do that you must believe that you will obtain what you have asked for; you can't walk it out any other way. You have to do what God says and how. Today I'm sitting in a place where I may not have any food, or my rent is paid, but I'm still working to build a business and obtain that BILLIONAIRE STATUS THAT IS FOR ME. I'm declaring some things on today that others may not see to declare for themselves. I have been asking, and I have been seeking. The point I'm in right now is to KNOCK!

 I'm telling you right now to WALK IT OUT. Ask God. Seek His face. Knock at HEAVENS DOOR.

God will give you open doors without knocking because you are being obedient, but if you know that you are not being obedient, you better ask HIM WHERE YOU FELL OFF AND SEEK THAT PLACE TO GET BACK ON THAT PATH AND WALK IT OUT.

You have to know that you are not perfect, YET, but you have a chance. WALK IT OUT RIGHT NOW!

ASK GOD
SEEK HIS FACE
KNOCK ON HEAVENS DOOR

Ways to be B.A.D #12: Speak Into Your Life

There is life and death in the power of the tongue. You can kill yourself with your words, or you can build yourself up with your words.

The point and purpose of your life is to get in where you fit in; LIVE YOUR LIFE AND NOT DIE TO CIRCUMSTANCES.

The problem with people today, especially women, is that with all the strength we have at our finger tips, we dont' use them. With all the time we have on our hands, we don't use our time effectively. I teach my clients, daily, to use their resources wisely. When I tell them that they they continue to look at the circumstances as if they JUST CAN'T.

Sometimes God will take you through certain things to see that you can, but the only way to SEE it with your spiritual eyes is to speak IT INTO YOUR LIFE.

You want riches, SPEAK IT.
You want wealth, SPEAK IT.
You want your husband back, SPEAK IT
You want your children to obey, SPEAK IT.
You want your life back, SPEAK IT.
You want out of your present cirucmstances

SPEAK IT RIGHT NOW!!!!

When you speak it, more often than not, you start to believe what the LORD SAYS. You have to start somewhere.

Here's a thought, over the past 12 days, I have given you some insight on your own life and how to regain the mindset you need to get what God has for you; I have shown you how to be BAD. We have a few more days to go, but you better see RIGHT NOW, that GOD INTENDS FOR YOU BE BLESSED IF YOU ARE OBEDIENT. Obedience means taming your tongue and speaking LIFE NOT DEATH.

Ways to be B.A.D # 11: Realize Your Worth

God said we are fearfully and wonderfully made. If that is so, we are worth more than we THINK WE ARE. As a matter of fact the word also says that we are WORTH MORE THAN RUBIES.




There is nothing wrong with knowing that you are valuable. How will you walk out how valuable you are? Are you ready to accept your worth?

Ladies, we have to be refined and smoothed out, but that doesn't change that you are expensive. You are so expensive, no one can afford you, but God will send someone to honor you, to respect you, and to value you. You are not just a diamond in the rough, you are a ruby. You are blessed anointed and destined. When you figure out your worth, you can walk in your BAD-NESS!

Ways to be B.A.D. #7: Cultivate Your Gifts

Remember the scriptures about gifts? Remember that gifts are given without repentance? Do you recall the men with the talents? Take into consideration all the scriptures below and realize you fall in all of them. The only thing you have to ponder, in falling in all of the scriptures, is are you being obedient? Read Deuternonmy 28: 1-14. It talks about the blessing in obedience. This is going to be key as you decide and determine about cultivating your gift.

Romans 11:29King James Version (KJV)

²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Proverbs 18:16King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

Matthew 25: 14- 30 The Parable of the Talents

If talents/gifts can help you to start or build a business, or in ministry; they can also help you in your life. The important part of using them is knowing where they came from, and giving GOD GLORY. I know that Romans 11:29 basically says everyone gets a gift and a calling, but if you don't use it for God's glory, what are you doing? Are you like the servant that didn't do anything?--that buried his talent? 

 

 Cultivate means to acquire or develop {skill,quality}.

What are you doing to develop your skill in cooking? coaching? sewing? fashion design? ministry? 

In order to do something with what you got, you must work at making it better. Every year, as a business owner, I work hard at learning something new about my industry or my skills. I do what I need to, to cultivate my gifts. 

I implore, not only encourage, you to work at cultivating your gift, and then GIVE GOD GLORY!

Ways to be B.A.D. #6: Help Others

There are times in life that you have to know that you can be helpful. You have to know that with and in all your resources, you can help others. Its not about selling what you have or bringing people in to be members of your church/ministry; its about sharing what you know and not looking for anything in return.

God has given us many tools; these things come in the form of gifts and talents. What are you doing to share those use those tools?

1 Peter 5:3King James Version (KJV)

³ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

Matthew 5:42King James Version (KJV)

⁴² Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
 

If God is in you, dwelling in you not only for YOUR GOOD, but HIS GLORY, you should be reaching back the same way you reached out. The same way you asked, someone is asking of you. Are you ready for the blessings if you truly aren't blessing others?

Ways to be B.A.D. #3: Study Your Bible

Every time we attend fellowship services, we hear the Pastor say STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED; He's talking about the Bible, but some people say WHAT AM I STUDYING? Then they say, what are they studying for?

First, know the scripture completely:

2 Timothy 2:15King James Version (KJV)

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This full verse says, a workman (servant), that needet not be ashamed(for the spiritual choices you make), rightly dividing the word of truth(knowing the real from the fake; the lie from the truth). 

See, we only hear part of the verse. We have to know the FULL TRUTH, but that comes from studying. You need to know who you are and you'll find it in the word. 

So what do you as you study? You ask God to give you revelation and clarity of what you are reading. You ask God to show you what to read and why. You put God first, and He'll teach you. You can't study without a teacher. #catchthat

Ways to be B.A.D. #2: Fast

We're talking Biblical fasting; turning down your PLATE, to get closer to GOD. 

Ezra 8:21New King James Version Fasting and Prayer for Protection

21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

Ezra wanted to fast to get closer to God so that he could he the instructions on his life; the life of him and his family. He not only thought of his family but also his possessions. Why the possessions? WE aren't to keep all of our possessions if someone is in need; the poor among us. 

Read Isaiah 58 THOROUGHLY

When you turn down your plate and put your face before the Lord in prayer, you receive each and every instruction necessary for taking care of business and ministry. 

Fasting isn't hard.

• Start slow but give up a meal or two one day
• Drink clear liquids or water only
• Pray and read your Bible
• Tell no one you are fasting accept you husband
• If you are taking meds and must eat, choose to fast the way Daniel did in Daniel 1:

 11 So Daniel said to the steward[a] whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” 14 So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days.

You want to be BLESSED, ANOINTED AND DESTINED. I'm not telling these ways are the only way, but fasting and praying are THE WAY.

Ways to be B.A.D. #1 : Pray

You can't do anything in your life without God; this means you MUST PRAY. You have to start your day with prayer, and you must end with prayer. You have to connection with the Lord that is going to keep you covered with the Lord.

Breakthroughs happen when you realize God is in control; you can't do anything in your own strength. The pressing in your life is the prayer. The tears you cry in secret, God is seeing you.

Faith filled persons have a relationship with God. They desire so much of a connection that they know when they have missed talking to God. They know that if their day is bad they go back and think about it they prayed or not. Your First way to B.A.D. is praying!

Motherly Wisdom #19: Remember the 4th Commandment

If at first you don't succeed, remember the 4th commandment about honoring your parents.

Okay, this may be a tough pill to swallow, but some of the issues our children have, even those that have fallen at deaths door is because of them not obeying GOD. They don't have to believe in God to realize they are disobeying HIM. Walking in a lie doesn't save anyone, but what has happened, is the walk AWAY FROM a commandment that comes with a promise.

There is no more hand holding. I have said, previously, that you must shake the dust. I have also said that tough love is only tough on the MOTHER, not the child, because we, moms, want to hold on to our children.

We can't hold on! At some point we have to realize that GOD IS IN CONTROL.

Children, if you want to live a long life, you must honor your parents. If you want to run past those bullets like the matrix, think about how you respect, or not, your parents. Remember the 4th commandment, it protects!
