March 29, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - A positive, faith-filled outlook

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

A positive, faith-filled outlook

29 MARCH 2019
‘With thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’
It happens so easily, especially in the company of the wrong people. Before you know it, you’re criticising and complaining, and the atmosphere becomes negative. That’s because words are like clouds or sunshine; they create a climate. 

You say, ‘But I only say these things because I’m so worried.’ Then read this: ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds’ (vv. 6-7 NIV 2011 Edition). You rise above anxiety by giving thanks, not by complaining. Never let your level of thanksgiving be determined by your situation, because God is greater than any situation you face. So how can you overcome your inclination to be negative, and instead develop a positive, faith-filled outlook? 
1) Decide to. Abraham Lincoln told the truth when he said, ‘Most folks are as happy as they make up their mind to be.’ Refuse to spend another moment criticising and complaining. 
2) Start now. Change doesn’t come easily, but unless you make a start it won’t come at all. Try to be more aware of what you say. Catch yourself in the act! When your first few sentences are negative, self-correct and steer the conversation back towards what’s positive. Resolve that from now on if you can’t say something helpful, you’ll refrain from saying anything at all. 
3) Look for what’s good. ‘Whatever is true…noble…right…pure…lovely… admirable…think about such things’ (Philippians 4:8 NIV 2011 Edition). Make this your prayer: ‘Lord, give me a positive, faith-filled outlook.’
Deuteronomy 28-29, Mark 14:53-72
