Deeper Love, Higher Level of Blessings

If you want to see a great move of God and favor in your life, ministry, family, or job, there is something you need to understand. It’s not enough to want those things or to work at them when you have the time or resources. You cannot move to the next level or truly bless others until you are consistent. 

That means you show up every day. You bring the right attitude. You do what needs to be done and strategically plan for more of whatever it is you’re after. 

Years ago, I started taking groceries to a group of about 35 isolated elderly folks. I could have done that once, patted myself on the back, and moved on. I didn’t. Every Saturday, rain or shine, crying babies, lack of sleep, lack of money – the list of excuses I could give to stop helping was never-ending. 

Because I was consistent with a little, God blessed me with more and more until I had a lot – the OpenDoor Food Bank that feeds thousands of people each year. 

All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along. – Galatians 2:10 

In 1986, I was newly saved and wanted to jump off the deep end of whatever Jesus had for me, so I took my band to play Christian rock on Lancaster Street in Fort Worth. The homeless would come for the entertainment, and we’d feed them and give them clothes. I still lead a team to that same parking lot every month. 

Now, God shows me favor in everything I do. He brings me opportunities I’m not looking for, like meeting with kings and celebrities, hosting television shows, and stomping around the globe. Why does God favor me?  Because I’m consistent. I am strategic about the kingdom, and I keep going even when others fade away.   

Are you favored? If not, look at where you are not being consistent and make a strategic plan to take that territory for the Lord. He will bless your socks off!
