The tragedy of missed opportunities!

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the tragedy of missed opportunities.  All opportunities are not equal, so it behooves us to be ready to seize them as they present themselves.  In this introduction Brother Michael uses a vast array of quotes to stress the importance of living wisely.  In Ephesians 5:16 Paul instructs us "to redeem the time or as one translation says to buy up each opportunity."  So sit back and determine in your heart to use your time wisely so you can make the most out of all of your opportunities.

In this episode Brother Michael teaches on the subject of giving.  Drawing from the example of Isaac who sowed even during a time of lack.  We can draw many parallels with the conditions of Isaac's day and our present distress.  Because of the world wide pandemic many are facing tough decisions concerning their finances.  But the example of Isaac will encourage us to obey the laws of sowing regardless of circumstances!  God has promised to supply all of our needs according to His riches!  So listen and let this encourage you live supernaturally by obeying the promises of God.

Paying the price for success!

Once again Brother Michael gives us great encouragement by teaching on "Paying the price for success!"  A person can have whatever they want in life if they are willing to pay the price.  Nothing in life is free, even success.  So those who have experienced success will tell you that it cost them much!  Brother Michael give us five points that we must remember if we want to achieve success in our lives.  We must have an uncommon vision, uncommon excellence, uncommon effort, uncommon courage, and finally uncommon persistence.  The best things in life are not free, so be willing to pay the price needed to succeed.

Good medicine that doesn't cost a dime!

In this light hearted but most important episode, Brother Michael teaches on the subject of laughter!  In Proverbs 17:22 the Bible says "A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."  There is therapeutic qualities in laughter.  Laughter indicates a heart full of joy and a heart full of peace.  Never let the devil steal your joy!  It may be doom and gloom time all over the world, but don't let it get into you.  Your ulcer can't grow when you're laughing!  Laughter and joy are spiritual solutions to earthly problems!

Faith vs Foolishness

In this episode of Encouragement for today Brother Michael explores the subject of presumptuous. This simply means to fail to observe the limits of what is permitted or appropriate.  During this time of Covid-19 we are seeing the world as we once knew change before our very eyes.  Even after this pandemic ends and I believe that with all my heart it will, we may still practice safety patterns brought on by the onslaught of this disease.  Should Christians ignore all warnings from our government believing that God will protect us regardless.  In this important lesson Brother Michael discusses this significant question.  Are we in faith or are being presumptuous and foolish?
