REMEMBER WHO HOLDS YOU. Part 02


How kind of him to use us. How wise of us to remember.
The Apostle Stephen remembered. And since he remembered Jesus, Jesus remembered him. As stephen's accusers reached for their rocks to stone him to death, he looked toward Christ. "Stephen, full of the Holy spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God, and saw Jesus standing in the place of honour at the right hand of the Father" ( see Acts 7:55)
   Stephen's message echoed like the pounding of a kettledrum in the assembly hall. "Our ancestors forgot who brought us here. They forgot who carried us. They turned away from God, and now you've tried to put him in a box!", Stephen challenged their big heads with a huge point: You've forgotten how big God is.
The council stood in anger. "They gnashed at him with their teeth" (vs 54). They...stopped their ears and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him outta the city and stoned him.

Stephen stood on behalf of christ as he charged those Jewish religious folks, and in the end, Christ returned the favour.

You are the captain of your ship. Your mind is your crew, your body is your ship.

YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SHIP One thing I came to realize in life is that 80% of the things happening in our lifes (today) are brought about by our decisions, mindset, actions and beliefs.           Its All About You! I mean you can be multi-talented but its up to you to decide whether or not to put your talents to work. God 'll never force you to put to work the talents and gifts he has deposited inside you - what he does is to instruct and guide you on how you should go about it. Its up to you to summon the courage to pursue your dreams, run towards your goals and aspirations regardless of the trials, the disappointments, the denial, the set-backs, the delays, the stumbling blocks and the difficulties you face, no matter how far-fetched they might seem. Its up to you to say "Its possible" when everyone else try to talk you out telling you" Its not". Its up to you to believe in yourself when everyone else thinks you are a loser... It...

BREAKING THROUGH THAT HABIT

So I stumbled on this piece of his and I believe it will bless you too. I don't do this often though  (but it pleases him aswell for you to hear this).  Well, here you go: "Trying to break that HABIT through SELF?? News flash. It Never works! Self can't cure self. You need to sink in the Love of Christ for you, You need to acknowledge the gift of no condemnation in CHRIST, because condemnation brings you into an endless-circle. You need to see in that your down moment, when you beat yourself in regrets and curses, HIS LOVE FOR YOU: NEVER FAILS, NEVER GOES UP, NEVER COMES DOWN, But that He loves you the way you are. YET, loves you so much to let you remain the way you are! What should I do now? You may ask. GIVE UP. Yes, GIVE UP YOUR EFFORTS, to stop. You've been thinking He has been so disappointed in you, I have goodnews for you, "But God demonstrated His OWN LOVE for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Roma...

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 ...
