"Knowledge is power...Divine Knowledge is Divine Power!"

Understanding the difference between Criticism and Correction
*Criticism is deadly – It points out your flaws
*Correction is life – It points out your potential

False accusation is the last stage before supernatural promotion.
Jesus never allowed what others said about Him to change His opinion of Himself.
Daniel accused of breaking the Law.
Joseph accused of rape.
Paul accused of arousing mobs through hatred and division.

When plans and purposes are wrong or hold wrong motives, your pursuit will also be wrong!

Financial wisdom for leaders
*God holds us accountable so we must be responsible.
*God is our source so we must not walk in unbelief.
*God finances every project He launches.

The fear of the Lord
"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate." Prov. 8:13 (Webster)
*The fear of the Lord is to walk in God's way and God's word.
*The fear of the Lord is to take side with God and His attributes and desire towards corruption.
*To hate evil
*The fear of the Lord is to be in alliance with God.

When one stands on God's word and does things God's way – That's humility

…and when he confidently confesses God's word and God's way – That's faith!
