"God uses those who make themselves available to be used, and it doesn't matter whether you have the right abilities or skills. When you make yourself available for God, He gives you the skills you need-you just need to be willing." (Edir Macedo, 50 Tips to Shield Your Faith)
Written by billionaire and pastor Edir Macedo. Currently, the richest pastor in the world according to Forbes. He expounds on 50 Tips to Shield Your Faith. Some of them are:
Tip 1: Invest in your salvation above all else Tip 2: Acknowledge God in all your ways Tip 3: Test God Tip 4: Please God, not people Tip 5: Don't let your tongue make you sin Tip 6: Stop coping with problems Tip 7: Don't be afraid of the enemy's threats Tip 8: Don't attempt to widen the gate Tip 9: Beware of false Christians Tip 10: Don't let your anger turn against you ... Tip 50: Beware of the company you keep
This is a short, but powerful book on everything from your salvation to warnings on the company you keep. For example, here are a few tips excerpted in full from this book:
Tip 41: "Preserve your mind" Choose well what you allow into your home, into your mind, and into your life. Whenever we read a book or watch a movie, we drink from the spirit of that author or screenwriter. The same principle applies to listening to the news, soap operas, songs, and so on.
Tip 37: "Don't try to find out what other people are saying about you" Do what God expects of you and let people say what-ever they want. The Lord Jesus already warned us that those who follow Him will suffer persecution and injustice for His name's sake. So don't worry about these conversations. And if by any chance you do hear them, don't set your heart on those words. Whatever takes your attention away from God weakens your faith.
Tip 28: "Don't listen to words of defeat" When you begin something big, you can be sure that you'll hear many negative words that try to make you give up. They'll point out problems and difficulties to make you feel afraid, to doubt your faith and to doubt your God. Don't give in to pressure, but hold on to your faith and you'll succeed. Your testimony will glorify God's name, and those who doubted will see that He really is with you.
