REMEMBER WHO HOLDS YOU. Part 01


The greatest example of humility is none other than Jesus christ. Hold it right there. Before you assume you know what this is all about, Read on.
Speaking of Jesus, Who had more reason to boast than he? Yet he never did. He walked on water but never strutted on the beach. He turned a basket into a buffet but never demanded an applause. A liberator and a prophet came to visit him, but he never dropped names in his sermon. He could have. "Just the other day I was conferring with Moses and Elihah." But Jesus never thumped his chest. He refused even to take the credit . "I can do nothing on my own" (John 5 vs 30). He was utterly reliant upon the father and the Holy spirit.  "All by myself"? Jesus never spoke such words. If he didn't, how dare we??
  We can rise so high but never stoop too low. What gift are you giving that he did not first give?
Speaking of which, my greatest motivation for giving(especially offerings)is "Every thing I have today in terms of finances - no matter how small or how much came from him, so giving back too him shouldn't be a problem".
What truth are you teaching that he didn't first teach?
You love. But who loved first ? You serve. But who served the most? What are you doing for God that he (Jesus)  could not do alone ?

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 ...

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...
