One of the greatest man of God today who has inspired me greatly (even naming one of my companies Kingdom Concepts Enterprises) is Dr. Myles Munroe. I have heard him speak several times in the Philippines as he talked about God's Kingdom and Righteousness. The same message that Jesus taught...
"But, seek first His kingdom and His righteousness..." - Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
But, have you ever wondered why you still face terrible crises day-in and day-out? Why does God allow us to struggle? Why does God bring difficult times in our lives, up to the point of giving up?
Dr. Myles Munroe simply puts it this way: It is through crisis that God's Name is glorified. And, consequently, the man whom God was glorified becomes renowned altogether. Think about such names as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King and biblical greats such as Joseph, Daniel, Abraham, Job and Jesus. What was common to them was the word CRISIS. And, ultimately, there battle and victory over their crisis was exactly why many people around the world continue to speak about them until today.
If you are experiencing a crisis today, welcome it with gladness. Whether its in the area of your finance, job, family, marriage, ministry or health, God wants you to glorify Him through your crisis. Think about it! The Book of James says,
‘2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.’ – James 1:2-3 (NIV)
Are you ready to say, "Crisis, I welcome you. Let God's Name be lifted up today!"?
God bless!

Are You Building a Righteous Family?
Matthew 1:17 says, ‘Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.’
Jesus, the Christ, came from a family of righteous men.
His ancestors included Abraham whose faith in God was credited to him as righteousness, David, who was a man after God’s own heart, Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived and King Jehoshaphat, one of the greatest kings of Judah who ordered his people to sing praises to the Lord which resulted in a great victory.
The success of Jesus’ forefathers came from their trust and faith in God Almighty. These people were not without sin. King David was a murderer and adulterer. King Solomon was devoured by excessive sensualities and King Jehoshaphat formed alliances with wicked kings. But through it all, these men expressed their utmost love to their one true King!
Are you building a family line of righteous men by living a righteous life today? The Name above all names, Jesus, and many other great names of today and of old, comes from a lineage of righteous men. Let righteousness reign in your life. This is your legacy to your long line of descendants.
Now, what does this have to do with godly wealth? Well, have you noticed that all of these men are wealthy? Makes you think again, doesn’t it?
