Daily Devotion for January 8, 2021

Everybody that you deal with on a professional level does not mean that you need to deal with them in a personal level. It seems like you cool with them in a professional setting, then you allow them closer into your life & they use you. They didn’t change, that’s who they really were. Understand that some folks can do a job or duty, but they may not have the same intent, passion or spirit as you. See, the hardest truth that you MUST accept is… Everybody AIN’T like you. You set (some) folks expectations too high when they haven’t earned it. If you accept that, then their behavior won’t tick you off. Ask God to help you to set healthy boundaries & discern who to befriend, who to keep professional only & stick to it. Regardless if it’s at work, in a church ministry or even in a family setting, do your job & GO HOME! #Just Because Y’all at the Same Place Doesn’t Mean Y’all Have the Same Spirit! Be blessed! #brotherprater

No matter your title, position or responsibility, never leave morals & ethics out of your character! Remember, have character, don’t act like one! #This Goes to the White House, the Church House & Your House! #What will be Your Legacy? Be blessed! #brotherprater

Daily Devotion for January 5, 2021

Taking care of yourself AIN’T selfish, it’s being RESPONSIBLE. Listen! A car can’t be of good use if there’s no gas in it. Even Jesus Himself had some “Me Time”! As many things that Jesus did & the many folks who were around Him, He always had time alone for Himself & to be with The Heavenly Father. Don’t let folks make you feel guilty when you don’t want to be bothered. Regardless if you’re a minister, parent or that friend who’s always there for folks, you MUST have time to replenish what you pour out. Remember, before you can properly serve, make sure you have what you properly deserve -A Rested Body, a Renewed Mind & a Rejuvenated Spirit! #You’re No Good for Others if You AIN’T Good to Yourself! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Daily Devotion for January 4, 2021

No amount of love you “try to” give to someone can substitute for the love God has for them or the love they should give to themselves. Like a hole in a pocket that always loses money, until the hole is fixed, the money will always be lost. The same is true about the love you give them. Until their heart is healed by God, then coated with self-love, the love you give them will be lost or mismanaged. Regardless if it’s in dating, dealing with your family or trying to help folks, protect your heart by being careful who you give it to. Remember, being a good steward is more than about your money. It includes being responsible for your heart too! #Manage Your Heart by Protecting It from being Used! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Daily Devotion for January 2, 2021

(While driving to your purpose) Never choose a mate who has a spare key to someone else’s heart. Fast, pray & wait for God to reveal their key ring. If God shows you red flags, that’s God letting you know that their key ring doesn’t deserve a wedding ring. Don’t let impatience or feeling desperate make you settle for someone who doesn’t deserve you. Trust that God has your best interest in His heart to protect your heart. Remember, the right mate has Jesus at the wheel driving them to you. #Your Heart is the ONLY Key They Desire! Be blessed! #brotherprater
