Devotions: Breakfast of Champions!!


Good morning!
I pray that you have an awesome day! Learn something new today and add value to someone's life by paying them a compliment...that act will add value to YOU too!

We are going to go off script today. Many of you are observing a week of Consecration leading to Easter. At my church, Christian Cultural Center (CCC) in Brooklyn, NY, we call it Consecration Week; and we are fasting (one meal a day), watching what we intake as far as TV and music so that we can focus in on our lives and let God speak to us about what we need to purge. I have felt God's presence in my life in a profound way!!

The whole purpose of this blog is to share my daily morning devotions with you. But, this is just part of my devotions and I decided to share my entire pattern with you! This is not original by any means; I first heard it from one of my mentors who shared it at a staff meeting in 2006 and it has stuck with me ever since. I hope it is a blessing to you:

Pastor Bernard’s Time Tested devotion strategy:

  1. Start in the Word (Proverbs-a-day) before praying. God speaks to us from the Word and it sets God's personal agenda for US!! It is not based on our desires – but on His Word!(always let God set His agenda first!)
  1. Then go onto a time of prayer based on what you read…
  2. THEN go into a time of making your requests known to God...
  3. Then enter into Praise & Worship
Make your devotions the most important meal of the day! It's your choice...
