Something to Ponder On

I pray everyone is blessed so far in this new year. While we continue to grow in the Lord, here is something to think about.

"Isn’t it interesting how Moses had great learning growing up in Egypt as royalty, but when God led Moses through the wilderness to lead, none of that training that Moses had learned prior came into teaching or applying …."

What we can learn from this.

Sometimes when God leads us He doesn’t want us to rely on our own learning, or our own knowledge,  but when being led by God, He seeks the glory causes so He causes  us to trust, learn and depend alone on Him.

Jesus deserves the glory. 

We can trust Him.

Sharing what Jesus did in our lives

As Christians, our daily lives calls us to be a witness for Jesus. One way we are called to witness is to share our faith of Jesus, that means sharing what Jesus did in our lives. When we do that, we will soon realize that many people are waiting on us to share our testimony. Many of those people are hungry for Jesus, some are hungry for something but they don’t know what it is, and I am eternally convinced that the testimony of Jesus in our lives is what will do it for many. For others, it will plant a seed in their hearts to the glory of God. This is what will happen when we share Jesus, and not share a church program. I express this because many times, we try to sell to people a church experience or church programs, but that is not being a witness of Jesus, RATHER, we should tell them about our testimony of what Jesus did for us and then that opens the door for them to hear about Jesus. As Christians, we have to be willing to plant the seed of faith and trust in the Lord that He will send someone else to plant Jesus OR if God sends/uses you to do both, then even better - it's all a part of God’s glorious plan.  

 

I am reminded of the woman at the well after she met Jesus, she ran to the city and the first thing she said was “come see a man that told me everything I ever did.” 

She didn’t tell people who this Man was, she first started to tell people about what this Man did for her. She then introduced Christ in form of a question "is this not the Christ?"

see John 4:29-43

And so the focus should always be what Jesus did for you and who is Jesus.  

Now if the Lord leads you to share anything else, again and you are certain the Lord sent you to do so, then dear one, obedience is always better than sacrifice. 

 

God is not Intimidated

Let us not forget that God is not intimidated by laws, government, or mere men. Many times, we allow offense to fester because of what is being said about us and what is happening around us as christians.   

While I pray we should not be offended or intimidated by attacks on Christendom through laws or policies, I encourage us to only put our trust, confidence and hope in our Saviour Jesus—let us always remember that THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME & Jesus told us these things should happen. 

1 CORINTHIANS 15 
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 

This is Harvest

 This is Harvest. Alleluia!

When 2000+ souls are filled with the Holyspirit with evidence of speaking on tongues as on the day of Pentecost.

We are not looking at mere revival, we are looking at an harvest. I will say it again for those in the back, this is harvest, not revival. And tho personal revivals might be taking place in some hearts, generally speaking, I believe sometimes, when we see a great move of God, if not careful, we can get caught up in throwing around traditional churchy sound-good-words/understandings that we actually miss what God is doing and so sometimes what we call revival is actually harvest - just sometimes. Let’s never be ignorant of the fact of true revival, in-fact, revival is reviving what was once life, and harvesting is gathering what is ready to be received. And of a truth, revival is absolutely beautiful, but so is harvest. The Lord is faithful. We Thank God for harvests and revivals. Thank God for souls. Thank God for salvation.

Reminder

We are living in a time of great deception. Just look around. It’s the culture of the day. But God can help us. He will cover us with His feathers & preserve us if we let Him. We are not afraid because there is hope in Him.
