The most important period of your day is the first thirty minutes
after you wake up. What you think during that time sets the
pattern for your emotional attitude all day.
After beginning your day with thanksgiving, yield yourself anew
to God according to Romans 6:11-13.
“Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation
to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with
Him] in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived,
perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be
subject to its lusts and evil passions. Do not continue offering or
yielding your bodily members [and faculties] to sin as
instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield
yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the
dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and
faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of
righteousness.”
Tell Him you are available to share your faith with the needy one He sends to you. Yield your lips to
the Holy Spirit and you will bear fruit for God.
As soon as you sense you have grieved or quenched the Spirit, confess your sins and again ask
Him for His anointing.
IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS, YOUR CHARACTER WILL TRULY BE TRANSFORMED!

het die seun gevra.
“Die hondjie is kreupel. Die X-straalfoto het
getoon dat daar fout met die heupgewrig is.
Daardie been sal nooit regkom nie.”
Tot die verbasing van albei mans, het die seun
sy fiets neergesit, vyftig sent uitgehaal en aan
die boer oorhandig. “Asseblief, oom. Ek sal elke
week vyftig sent betaal totdat ek die vyf-en-

Die boer het gewonder: “Maar seun, daardie

Word!
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put your confidence in
man.” Psalm 118:8 (NKJV).
Now isn’t that surprising how this worked out (or was God in the
centre of it)?
