God has always longed for His people to have their heart completely submitted to Him. The Lord wants us to allow our roots to run deep wherever He has planted us. The enemy always tries to get us to be double minded and not let our roots run too deep. The enemy likes for us to always want to jump from one place to another and be wishywashy. But God is looking for a man or woman who will submit to the destiny He has laid before them, and completely throw their life into the call that God has for them. When you completely surrender to the ways of the Lord, you will experience a greater dimension of the presence, power & authority of God. The enemy will always come at you but when you fully resist the devil, the Word says he will flee from you. Many times people will not fully resist the devil. It may not look like blatant sin but you may be compromising in a few areas or becoming complacent in a few spots. If the devil can I get you to backslide, he will delay your destiny. He will try to make you tired and weary. But the enemy’s greatest trick is to keep you out of your daily personal time with God.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” But as you chart your financial course, what steps should you take to help you keep moving forward to where you want to go? Consider these suggestions: • Establish and quantify your goals. Throughout your life, you’ll have short-term goals, such as an overseas vacation or a home renovation, and long-term goals, the most important of which may be a comfortable retirement. You’ll want to identify all your goals and put a “price tag” on them. Of course, it’s not always possible to know exactly how much it will cost to achieve each goal, but you can develop reasonably good estimates, revising them as needed.
