Here is how you can be a Confident, Powerful
Victorious Christian:
1. Trust Jesus, not yourself: Accept him as your savior
and dedicate your life to pleasing him by living according to
his instructions.
2. Devotions: Set aside a time to daily renew your com-
mitment to him and listen to his voice as you read the Bible
and meditate.
3. Pray without ceasing: Develop the habit of thinking
about, and talking to God throughout the day. Include him
in all your plans, decisions and activities Be aware, he is
always with you!
4. Church: Find a good Bible believing Church and faith-
fully attend every service and function. They need you! And,
believe it or not, you need them.
5. Tithe: Hey, you don't have anything God didn't make
possible for you to have! Give 10% of it away. It is more
blessed to give than to receive.
6. Rejoice in the Lord always and again say Rejoice!
