DON'T MISTAKE INTENTION WITH ACTION

WHEN YOU MOVE, MOUNTAINS ARE REMOVED!

Today: 2016-07-14

All the difficulties that are hanging around you now are simply waiting to see your action. When you start moving they will move. Stop talking about your beautiful plans and the things you hope to do soon. Start doing something now! “Soon” is a language of deception. It keeps people hoping endlessly until they waste. If you introduce massive action into your life, in a short while, you will become a man of your dreams.

The Bible says concerning the disciples, “They went forth everywhere, the Lord working with them…” (Mark 16:20). God’s help is available in its fullness for those who take steps. Even in the natural, when you start taking steps, you become a rallying point, people become eager to help you.

A great door and effectual is opened before you and God will not take away the adversaries. You have to discipline yourself to keep your eye off the adversaries, focus on the open door and keep moving towards it. That is when you will begin to see possibilities in the midst of impossibilities; you will begin to see a way around the mountain that is intimidating you.

Meditate on these: Numbers 13:30, Prov. 26:14.

A LOVE WORTH GIVING

These are devastating times: 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, 1 billion are hungry, millions are trafficked in slavery, and pandemic diseases are gouging entire nations. Every year nearly 2 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade. And in the 4-5 minutes it took you to read this post, almost ninety died of preventable diseases . More than half of all Africans do not have access to modern health facilities. As a result, 10 million of them die each year from diarrhoea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Many of those deaths could be prevented by one shot. Yet in the midst of the wreakage, here we stand, the modern day version of the Jerusalem church. You, me, and our one-of-a-kind life times and once-in-history opportunity . Ours is the wealthiest generation of the Christians ever. We are bright, educated, and experienced. We can travel the world in twenty four hours or send a message to someone at the othe

IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS

And the bible says, “…at the fourth watch” (according to the Romans, it’s the time spanning from 3am – 6am) of the night, which is the darkest time. They say “darkest before dawn”-that’s the fourth watch. In the darkest period , “…he looked down and he saw them, he saw his disciples rowing against the wind”. It actually says “a strong wind was blowing - boisterous.” Stay with me… And Jesus came walking on water... (How cool is that!) *wind blowing* *his hair flustering in the wind, his clothes as well* Try to picture this scene. And don’t forget, it was in “the darkest time” Progress is hard without Jesus , it’s like 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward, it’s SLOW. If you don’t have Jesus on your boat. And the bible says “and the disciples looked and they saw him”, whoa what’s that??! IT’S A GHOST! They said. And Jesus’ answer was, in the Greek “I AM”. THAT’S the name of God. “Don’t be afraid, I AM”. And straight away Peter (who else?) said Lord, if it’s you, “BID ME

WHAT DO WE SEE?

A gate called Beautiful. The man was anything but. He couldn’t walk on his feet but had to be dragged on his knees. He passed his days among the contingent of real and pretend beggars who coveted the coins of the worshippers entering Solomon’s court. And these guys were among them--Pete and John. The needy man saw them and begged for money. They had none to give, yet they stopped . I spent a very significant fraction of my time pondering on this. “Why did they stop?!” I asked. Let’s Progress and see. Peter and his buddy John looked straight at him and said, ‘Look at us!’ They locked their eyes on his with such compassion that “he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them”. Pete and John issued no embarrassed glance, irritated shrug, or cynical dismissal but an honest look. It is hard to look suffering in the face. Wouldn’t we rather turn away? Stare in a different direction? Fix our gaze on fairer objects? We give ourselves the excuse that ‘we C
