Sowing in a time of famine

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on subject of giving.  Not just giving when it is convenient.  But giving when it seems like you shouldn't.   The Bible teaches us that Isaac sowed in a time of famine and reaped a hundredfold. (Genesis 26 :12-33)  We should not allow circumstances to dictate when or how we live.  That goes for our finances also.  Our faith in the promises of God concerning giving and receiving should be the only thing we consider when it's time to sow our seed.

Avoiding unhealthy relationships

In 1 Corinthians 15:33 we are warned that "bad company corrupts good character."  We must be careful when it comes to the company we keep.

The Day of Adverstiy

In this episode Brother Michael speaks on the day of adversity.  Proverbs 24:10 declares that if we faint in the day of adversity, then our strength is small.  The day of adversity comes everyone, but we have in us before the adversity comes determines how well we will fare in it.  Be encouraged today knowing that our faith in God will deliver us from any trouble that we may be facing.
