Davida's Quotes

On Ambition

People tend to be ambitious for positions of authority, but Godly authority is only given to those who choose to practice responsibility. Is being ambitious wrong? Certainly not. However, God wants our ambitions to be properly directed, in our service to others.

On Attitude

You may be in prison, but you don't have to be a prisoner -it's all about your focus and attitude! You may be abused, but you don't have to be a victim. It's a matter of choice. Your choice!!!

On Blessings

You are not blessed because of the blessings; you are blessed because the blessed One lives in you.

God himself is our inheritance, not money or things. Because of we have Him, we have everything. Our connection with him connects us to everything we need for life and godliness. Get connected!

On Change

The only thing we have to get used to is change...it's one of the few things that's constant!

On Christianity

Christianity is not another behaviour modification fad, it is about Life! It is about God putting his uncreated life into our dead spirit, thus regenerating us.

 On Death

Believers in Jesus never die; they pass from death to life, never to die again. In death they truly live!

On Evangelism

Our voice must not be silenced!

By deeds His seeds are sown

Jesus took your place on the cross so that you could take His place in life.

Don't just go to Church, be the Church.

Our voice must be heard...Our Jesus must be preached... Our God must be seen!

The greatest love Jesus showed us was to die for us while we were yet sinners that we may be brought back into relationship with God. The greatest love we can show the world is to tell them that he did.

If we live the Christ- life as God intends for us to live, we will start a revolution that begins in the heart - our own heart. This is the key to Revival. (Matt 5; 1 Peter)

Speak up. Your voice can make the difference!

Wherever your voice can be used to make a positive change, use it.

On Faith

Everyone who asks receives!

God will change the unchangeable, He will do the impossible!

Faith is reaping what Jesus sowed. We reap the rewards of his obedience, the blessing!

Let's not wait to receive in the future what God has already given in the present.

It's not about how difficult the situation is, or how bad the problem is; it's about how big God is! He is really big and can handle any situation!

The work of the Believer is to believe!

We live in an interdependent reality, of you, others, angels and God, your simple act does not stand alone, its influenced by them all.

Praying that my actions would be better than my words.

When the Creator says you can, and the created says you can't, don't be afraid, go for what the Creator says.

On Freedom

The surest way into bondage is allow any other person, religious or other group, substance or thing to be the god of your life. The only way to freedom is to let Jesus, be God in your life. Let his voice be the voice that directs your life. "You shall have no other God before me" Ex 20:3

On Focus

Looking for an occupation? Let Jesus be your Occupation!

Have you noticed the difference between work and fruit bearing? Work implies effort and labour, fruit bearing is the silent, natural, restful produce of our inner life that results from us making Jesus the focus of our attention.

On the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

God's river of inspiration never runs dry, it continues to flow.

God is able to reveal to you in an instant what has taken others a lifetime to discover - this type of knowledge is called revelation knowledge.

On God

We serve a God for whom it is impossible to fail.

God makes the world go round.

On the Gospel

I know it when I hear the true Gospel message it is always 'Good News'!

On Grace

God generously bestows his riches upon all who call on him. He is rich towards all who call on his name. Rom 10.12

God's goodness towards you is so great. He has decided to bestow on to you favour that you don't ever deserve -this is Grace.

On the Heart

When the heart is right, the life is right. Out of the heart comes the issues of life.

Need a heart adjustment? As Jesus becomes the focus, the heart and life become properly adjusted.

On Healing

God's love is my medicine.

On Identity

Don't let anyone make you common, when God has made you uncommon.

With Jesus in you, you are no longer a nobody. He makes you into a somebody! Somebody with significance, somebody with purpose.

On Increase

Two keys to increase: Learn to be content with what you have, and learn to use what you have well.

On Jesus

Jesus stooped to conquer.

Jesus is the Way, the REALITY, and the Life.

Jesus is the Resurrection!

On Knowledge

Knowledge is available in abundance, but wisdom is rare.

On Leadership

Our purpose is to help people become all that they can be, then we will become all that we can be.

A great leader leaves you inspired by your own ability and potential rather than daunted by theirs

A great leader seeks to take responsibility not authority, neither do they need to demand submission; as authority and submission will follow as a consequence of them taking care of their responsibilities

On Miracles

How could miracles have ceased if people are still getting Born-Again every day?

On Potential

Your potential is really great when you have Jesus on the inside of you. Everything that He is, is in you, and you can do greater things than he did!

Trust God in you, don't just trust Him in others.

On Progress

To get from where you are to where you want to be, you may have to change your mind. Study or sitting under a good mentor is a good way to do this.

We loose strength when focus on what we can't do, but gain strength when we do what we can. It's time to get unstuck, and watch God multiply your efforts.

Don't become stuck on what you can't do; find out what you can do and then do it.

On Provision

When Earth's resources fail, Heaven's resources are available to us.

On Prosperity

Jesus' assets wipe out your liabilities for eternity!

God is able to give you in one moment what has taken others a life time to acquire. This is called Grace- God's unmerited favour!

On Redemption

Jesus, when he had COMPLETELY purged us from all our sin, HE SAT DOWN. Meaning that He had completed our redemption. He had finished His work.

Jesus saved us to the uttermost - He has saved us completely, He has saved us entirely, He has saved perfectly, and He has saved us to the end.

It was for freedom Christ has set us free. No longer to be chained by the yoke of slavery... Physical, Mental or Spiritual or otherwise.... Jesus paid a great price to set us free.. Let us walk in that Victory! Forget the bonds of Slavery!

It's good to know that we are kept safe from all harm, in God's secret place. Just as Noah and all those who were with him in the Ark were safe from all harm, we are hidden in Christ, He is our Ark.

We are no longer in Adam, but in Christ! In Christ, there is no sickness, no poverty, and no darkness to cause confusion. There is no failure or defeat in Him!

On Relationships

Do not be afraid to lose the battle, if it would help you win the war!

Every state in life has its pros and cons - being single, married, separated, divorced or widowed. Focusing on the pros of the state that you are in helps get the most out of life and live through that stage positively and strong. I call it "Always living on the bright side of life".

People living in one relationship state always see the bright side of the other state, while those living in it see the only gloomy side - the grass is always greener on the other side. In God we can choose to see the bright side all the time - in Him we always Win!

On the Resurrection

Resurrection power is at work in you!

Our union with Christ gives us the benefits of his death and resurrection. We HAVE passed from death to life!

We live the resurrected life because the resurrected one lives in us.

Our oneness with Christ gives us the blessings of his death and resurrection. We HAVE passed from death to life!

On Success

Don't shy away from thinking big, God loves big thinkers. And never despise the day of small beginnings, because big things always start small.

True success is measured by how much we have given, not how much we have gained.

Team-Is-It

Opportunities come. They come every day, they come everyone's way. Everyone may see them, only the prepared receive them. Are you one of the prepared?

On Victory

I've got the victory, the Victory is in me!

A winner may face difficulties, a winner may even fall, a winner may have to start over again, but a winner never quits. Renew your mind to win at all times. Set your will to win. Choose never to loose the fight. Quitters never win, and winners never quit.

On Wisdom

Follow the highway and live the high life. Leave the low life, it leads to nothing but misery and destruction.

On Work

Activity is not productivity

On Worth

Your worth and security is found in God's love for you, not in the words and attitudes of others.

You are a person of dignity and worth! God was restoring dignity to you, and worth in you, when He took away your sins and in exchange gave you His righteousness - He gives us Beauty for ashes!
