| Coaching Quote: Yes, Your dreams really can come true, by the power of God working in YOU! (Ephesians 3:20) - KH |
In the Scriptures all believers are expected to "encourage one another daily" (Hebrews 3:13, New International Version). As an added benefit for the Body, many in the Scriptures were "gifted" to encourage. These "gifts" were sent to local assemblies by church leaders to encourage other believers. ( Romans 12:8, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 5:11; Hebrews 12:5 All NIV Scriptures.)
The apostle Joseph was so gifted in encouragement that the apostles renamed him, Barnabas – "Son of Encouragement". (Acts 4:36) Indeed, God has given us coaches. True biblical encouragement means to motivate in the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer, Scriptures, and spiritual insight. In modern day terms the word "encourage" would be equivalent to the term "coaching". Today there is a rising new profession coming upon the world scene both in business and in personal development – Coaching. A professional coach assists an individual to reach the goals that the client desires. These personal or professional goals can be reached more quickly and easily with the help of a professional trained coach.
A coach can help in fulfilling the blessings of the Scriptures in your life.
I list just a few below. It is a Christian coach's joy to assist the Body of Christ in fulfilling the Scriptures in their lives.
| PROSPERITY, SUCCESS |
| Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2 New King James Version) |
| A coach helps you to understand and fulfill prosperity on your life. |
| ABUNDANCE, AND MORE ABUNDANCE |
| The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 NKJV) |
| A coach helps you develop an abundance mentality and enjoy experiencing abundance in every area of your life. |
| A LIFE OF FRUITFULNESS, PRODUCTIVITY |
| He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. (Psalm 1:3 New International Version) |
| A coach helps you to get planted in good soil and be fruitful in all the seasons of your life that you might prosper in the endeavors of your life. |
| ACHIEVEMENT OF GOD-GOALS, FOCUS |
| I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me (Philippians 3:14 NIV) |
| A coach helps you focus on the goals YOU set. Rarely does someone focus on YOU and what God has given YOU. A coach is YOUR coach; your success partner. |
| ENCOURAGEMENT, SUPPORT, COMFORT, AND MOTIVATION |
| But encourage [coach] one another daily, as long as it is called Today (Hebrews 3:13 NIV) |
| We all need encouragement – coaching, daily. |
| Christian coaches are gifted by the Lord to encourage, equip and empower others. |
