1.       Study to Show Thyself Approved

A mega-church congregation was challenged to read a scripture a day.  If we could just commit to picking up the bible every day of the week, and just read one scripture if nothing else.  How often do you pick up your bible?  Every Sunday?  Every Wednesday and Sunday?  That’s not enough.  Nugget:  Make it a habit to read something from the bible every single day and watch the move of God!

2.       Just Say No!
 

Why is it that some people have to be in every ministry of the church?  They stretch themselves until you literally can’t recognize them.  They began to grumble and complain; in desperate need of an attitude adjustment.  Nugget:  We don’t earn God’s blessings by the amount of church work we do. God wants us to lead healthy and balanced lives where ministry is a joy and source of deep personal fulfillment. If you don’t have that joy, serving becomes a burden and burnout is inevitable. Learn how to say “no.” Be a good steward over a few things before accepting many.

3.        Listen

Have you ever heard the expression “When your mouth is open, your ears are closed."  Well, it could be true.  Most of us are distracted, preoccupied or forgetful about 75% of the time we should be listening.  Nugget:  You could be guilty of talking when you should be listening? "LISTEN and SILENT have the same letters."  Try speaking less and listening more. The results are worth the effort!
