GLORY ROBBERS!




God morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with my, David Mitchell, on this August 31, 2009. As we go through our day to day lives do we honestly give credit to where credit is due? Or do we merely take more credit than deserved. On that group project at work, did you over exaggerate your contributions? Did all of your employees do all of the grunt work and you swooped in reaped all the praise? Did you even help out in any fashion before stamping your name on that assignment? Well although you got to do what you got to do in order to get where you want to be; we sometimes forget how we got to were we are in the first place. So if you do that with your peers, I'm sure you do it with God. So many times we step on the little guys in order to get ahead in life and to top that off, we convieniatley forget what God has done, the opportunities He's given us, and we say made it on our own. We both know that can’t be more further from the truth. He has lead us up till this point and if He chooses, it can be taken away in an instance. He alone decides to whom He gives his prosperity to and when He gives it. So when we get to out of line He will surely remind us of this, but don’t fret. We don’t have to fall from grace, all we need to do is continue to be kind and acknowledge who runs the show. It was not you who had that brilliant idea for a business. It was not you who birthed that creative venture. You were not the brainchild that pushed that company to the forefront. You were only the vessel that the idea came through. Just like I'm not the one writing these messages. God is the author. God is the originator,so give Him His props, because He is tired of all the GLORY ROBBERS! Please read Daniel 4:25-26 NIV

You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes. The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules. Therefore, O king, be pleased to accept my advice: renounce your sins by doing what is right and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed, it may be that then your prosperity will continue.

Our Inheritance: Which box is your faith in part 4



God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell on this Thursday August 27, 2009. Now all week we have been talking about inheritance and to several different capacities. We spoke from process, commitment, and purpose up until yesterday. Those things will help you get to your inheritance and maintain it. But what is your inheritance? What would you want your inheritance to be? Is it money, cars, houses, or relationships? All of these things are material and shall not last. Our inheritance is everlasting from before us to eternity. Our Inheritance is Jesus. Think about this for a second. You have two boxes. In the first box we have all our worldly desires like money, cars, houses, even multiple lovers, and in the other box you have Jesus only. The first box comes with all of your pleasures in life and the second box comes with daily suffering and persecution. Now be honest… which box will would you place your faith in. Box one or the second box. The obvious choice is the first box right? Only a fool would willingly suffer day in and day out…right? Well if you decided to place your faith in the first box you are going to have a grand ol’ time. You will have all of your things to keep you occupied. But what will you do when the money runs out. when the money runs out, the repo man will come from around the corner for your cars. And of course you were only able to push back 2 months of mortgage payments and now your house is being foreclosed on. And finally the multiple lovers of yours are all gone because you couldn’t maintain that lifestyle. Sounds great, huh good choice. Now lets say you put your faith in the second box. You see all of people that put there faith in the first box flourish as you endure all of that pain and anger while you are in the process. Your love grows for God and out of nowhere people just start coming into your life helping you out and giving you exactly what you need at that exact time for free, cause we know you could afford it. Now your back on your feet working in your purpose hand in hand with Jesus. Your finances have stabilized and even begun to increase due to the fact that God has made provision for you way back during the Suffering stage. Now that you are reaping you are able to afford the car you wanted way back when. And of course God worked out a tremendous deal on your dream home that of course seems too good to be true. He always likes to surprise you, right. Of course you can’t forgetting those who helped you along the way so now your relationships are long lasting sustained. Well I think I want to put my faith in the second box. I’ll like to get my lil but of suffering out of the way so I can lead the latter part of my life In my inheritance. The Inheritance are not the “THINGS” that God has promised. The inheritance is Jesus. Due to our obedience He will gladly reward us with those things, as long as they don’t take His place in our hearts. Please read Ezekiel 44:28


And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.

Our Inheritance: Purpose part 3




God morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell on this hump day, Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Here, were we are continuing our series on inheritance. Everything and everyone has a purpose. Thou it be sometimes it's purpose is to work your nerves or annoy the heck out of you, it's still serving its purpose. When things happen in our lives, instead of getting angry and asking God “Why me!” all the time, try figuring out it's purpose. God lent Jesus to us, for a purpose. He came to down knowing all the mysteries of heaven and earth at the exact time it was need. All of that knowledge was gathered together in 1 fragile earthen vessel. Now look at that same vessel. Look at what that 1 person has done. It has been multiplied to Millions across the globe, because 1 person truly carried out there purpose to the fullest. By Him doing this we can reap our inheritance. Knowing everything that was predestined already, He still chose to do this thing for the people He loved, who barely knowledge or believe that he ever existed. But that was His purpose. He made sure that our inheritance was left up for us to receive. Are we going to continue to sit on our heals or are we going to rise up and claim our inheritance? Now if we are going to claim it… how are going to do it. I'll tell you how, By doing what we were designed and predestined to do. and that is to operate in our purpose. First find it. Then start it. Then finish it. It does not matter how old or young you are, start on it now. You never know, you may be starting as 1 but maybe 50 years from now it will multiply and thousand may be living in what God personally made for you to do. Live on purpose, live in purpose, and live for a purpose, because all that you will ever want in life is on the other side of your purpose. Guaranteed! Please read Ephesians 1:9-11

Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which he hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:

our Inheritance: Commitment part 2



God Morning! Today is Tuesday August 25, 2009 and welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with David Mitchell II. Today I’m going to start off with just one word. Commitment. Lets ask ourselves how do we feel about commitment? What is the level of commitment in our relationships, friendships, or on our jobs? We drive ourselves sick trying to make failed relationship work. We try our hardest to salvage and hold on to those poisoness BFF's of ours. And we bend ourselves over backwards day in and day out over that Ol’ Might dollar! We are a committed people right? But what about when It comes to God? Do we fight tooth and nail to keep Him in our presence? When things don’t go they we think they should, do we stop from turning our backs on God? Or when the money is rolling in do we even give Him his cut first? NO. We don’t. It sounds like He’s more committed to us than we are to Him. In spite of all this, He still keeps His grace and mercy over us, even though we treat Him like an insignificant buffoon. If we commit to Him, He will further extend Himself to us. If we fully commit to Him, His inheritance will slowly dwindle down our way. Once we get to that point we will be apart of an elite group of individuals that are privileged to be at His right hand side. Our Inheritance is our desires. Our desires hopefully are by now His desires. So now, His love will renew or bring forth a better relationship. His forgiveness will maintain that friendship. Finally His status ,His purpose, His promise, and His blessings will undoubtedly give us the increase we have been praying for. Please read Acts 20:32 NIV

Remember to commit yourself that you will commit to God. Commit to your goals, dreams and vision.

“Now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”

Our Inheritance: part 1




God Morning! Today is Monday August 24, 2009 and welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II. This week we will be discussing inheritance and what God has to say about it. Below is the text and of course you can watch the Vlog above. So sit back, relax and hopefully you will enjoy God's word.


We pray, ask, and even beg God for things that we want, need, and desire. At times we speak to Him as though He’s a Cosmic Bellhop who answers our every whim. What are we doing living with the mindset of immediate gratification in a microwave society. We are always wanting things right now , when we want it and how we want it, and even expect God to bend His will and promise to our mediocre taste of how we think His blessings shall flow down to us. Friends It does not work like that. Please be patient when waiting on God’s promises. The process that He has is set in place for a reason and that reason is for it to last and not dwindle away. For If you skip the process you won’t be able to maintain nor appreciate the blessing. Please read Proverbs 20:21KJV


An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
