Money Matters: July Edition
By, Aubrey Branch, Branch Benefits Consultants
Disobedience produces losses:
Praise the Lord Saints – Last month we discussed the first principle of prosperity established in the Bible and that was WORK.
The second principle would be Diligence.
He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. (Proverbs 10:4)
Laziness is one of the many reasons people do not experience Financial Harvest.
He who gathers in summer is a wise son. (Proverbs 10:5)
The diligent continuously evaluate the results of their efforts.
Be diligent to know the state of your flocks. (Proverbs 27:23)
The diligent will always have plenty!
The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be rich. (Proverbs 13:4)
“And you will know Money Matters”
Health Tips for Seniors
By Tracy Byrd, Certified Fitness Coordinator, Coach, Trainer & 2x World Boxing Champion
This month MFM is honoring our Senior Eagles so how fitting to provide information on health & wellness geared specifically for older adults.
There are numerous types of activities that are beneficial for older adults:
Walking. Walking is by far the easiest and freest (natural & financial) activity to do. After lacing up a good comfortable pair of walking shoes, begin walking 5-10 minutes, intermediate walkers 10-20 minutes and advanced walkers 20-30 minutes. Based on your level of fitness, you can casually or briskly (power) walk. Whenever walking keep your arms relaxed and your hands loose (never have a tight/clutched fist, it cuts off blood circulation). Your duration of cardio training should be no more than 30 minutes (depending on the state of fitness of each participant).
Senior sports or fitness classes (to include chair-bound persons). Joining a fitness class or participating on your own in activities such as: Yoga, Pilates (breathing, strength, flexibility and balance to limber up and improve your range of motion), and Swimming/Water Aerobics, is great for older adults.
It is something about water that God has provided to sooth a person naturally as well as physically. Working out in water reduces stress and strain on the body’s joints and daily drinking water half your body weight in ounces (example: 140 pounds, 70 ounces of water per day) flushes out toxins in your body.
Talk to your doctor, physical therapist and look on line for healthy eating tips, pool-therapy programs, chair-bound exercise programs and fitness classes generally offered at community centers or senior living facilities.
Strength/Resistance (to include chair-bound persons). Utilizing weights for older adults is as easy as lifting anything that can fit in your hand, like canned foods or purchasing free weights (“dumbbell”) or resistance bands (similar to giant rubber bands designed to give your muscles a good workout when stretched and pulled). You can attach resistance bands to furniture, doorknobs or a chair. If you choose to participate in any type of strengthening program, it should be low to moderate intensity and high repetitions (example: lift a 3 pound weight – 10 times – 2 to 3 sets); your duration of strength training should be no more than 30 minutes (depending on the state of fitness of each participant).
These are just a few activities that older adults can begin doing. With a physician’s consent and proper supervision, older adults can challenge themselves to more strenuous activity which provides greater fitness gain and more preventive benefits. Once a person reaches the age of 50, the need for fitness is even more needed due to the many physiological changes that occur with age.
The old adage, “You are never too old to start,” is true! With a physician’s input and careful considerations, older adults can and have maintained a healthy lifestyle. So apply a little faith to the fitness and get started – “You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.” (Phil 4:13).
God bless you.
God Moves for Those Who Wait
God moves, or works on behalf of those that wait. He is the master architect and we are the creation. Our lives and the things that concern us are not left to chance. Oh no. God has a plan, we are part of that plan, and that plan is always working. The Master’s mind is the mastermind behind all of this! God’s thoughts or plans and the execution of those plans are not always privy to us. I will submit to you again, God will often require faith and obedience with limited information to us.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts Isaiah 55:8-9.
God will bring us to tight places and then tell us to wait. He will cause us to wait just to show us how incredible His plan is. Had we moved on our own behalf the results would not be the same. God loves us enough to make us wait.
Today God just wants you to know that He isn’t trying to frustrate your life. He rather is looking to deliver, deposit, and exceed your expectations. While you are waiting IN God, He just wants you to know He is moving on your behalf. Get your hopes back up, God is up to something.

Fill Your Horn with Oil
1 Samuel 16:1, 12-14 KJV
1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
This story shows some interesting things about going to your next level. Sometimes going to a next level feels like anything but a next level. This year I pray that God would open the eyes of your understanding that you may be like the sons of Issachar 1Chronicles 12:32 to be able to discern the movements and timing of God.
- Let go of the old– Samuel was morning over something God was done with. God had to tell him to let it go…Saul’s season was over. There is always a natural uncertainty and an emotional response when one level comes to an end. Let it go and trust God’s plan.
- Next level acceleration- He knows what He has invested and created in you. You may have been in a low place or a place of obscurity but when it’s your next level season He will search you out. He will accelerate your destiny. He will cause life, people, and opportunities to seek you out. This is the last becoming first. He will put your name in someone’s spirit.
- Next level Anointing- When God opens up your next level, the anointing breaks the seal. That anointing is God saying YES YOU, YES NOW!
Stop looking at what didn’t’ happen. Forget who or what is no longer here. You are here. Just like God had provided a king, God has provided for your future. There is a next level anointing that you need to break the barriers and limitations off or your life. Get in the flow. Filling your horn with oil is tapping into that refreshing of the Holy Spirit. I pray that this season would bring a personal revival to your life.
FILL YOUR HORN WITH OIL.
