The Cost of It All David said, “ I will not offer unto the Lord my God that which cost me nothing” (2Samuel 24:24) Watch this, We live in a world that wants to maximize results with minimum sacrifice. But the kingdom of God doesn’t work that way. The strongest marriages cost something. The deepest prayer lives cost something. Character cost something, discipline cost something, growth cost something. Anything valuable in your life would demand an investment. David understood that if there was no sacrifice, there was no real offering. He refused to give God what cost him nothing. As you finish this week, ask yourself: what has following Christ cost me lately? Because the things that cost you the most often become the things we value the most. Don’t run from the cost, embrace it. There is purpose on the other side of sacrifice. #StrongFinish

When trials come, it’s not your good intentions that keep you standing; it’s your routine. Anybody can have good intentions when the sun is shining. Anybody can make promises when life is easy. But when pressure hits, when disappointment comes, when temptation shows up, and when the storm starts raging, you don’t fall back on your intentions; you fall back on your routine. This is why your daily routine matters. The prayers nobody saw. The scripture you consistently meditated on. The discipline to keep showing up. The decision to obey God when nobody was applauding. Those quiet moments become strength when the storms come. And they are coming! Don’t despise the routine. Don’t overlook the small acts of obedience. What you consistently practice in the quiet will sustain you in the storm: therefore, I beseech you to keep praying, keep reading, keep obeying, and keep showing up. The storm may test your routine, but a godly routine will help carry you through the storm. #FinishStrong!

GM. Did any level 2 brothers start the discipleship course and If so, how are you doing?

Fellas, When Christ hung on that cross, it wasn't just a death..... it was a transfer. He took our sicknesses and gave us his health. He took our shame and gave us His righteousness. He took our weakness and released to us His strength. So don't carry what He already took. Today is the day that you walk like the transfer really happened. Because it did!!! Stand up, take your place, and move like a man who knows .... it's already done!!!

You are right where The Lord wants you. ( well brother Steve, how do you know these things) Because the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. Trust His timing. Trust His order. Trust His voice. Comment my steps are ordered!
