“so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

Being His ‘cutting edge’ instrument
“Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth-
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.” Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
who have ears but are deaf.”
Isaiah 43:4-8 (NIV)
Globalise Christ
“And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].”
Mark 16:15 (Amplified)
Let God be the builder of your life
“Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.”
Psalm 127:1-2 (NIV)
Know your true enemy
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Ephesians 6:10-13 (NIV)
His Word is active, not passive
Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.
St Francis of Assisi
Be ambitious for Christ
I visited Pastor Jeff’s blog and included this abstract (below) here cos its kinda ‘links’ with my recent entries.
Check it out…
The motto of our generation is, “Safety first.” Many young men are looking for a safe job in which they can feather their nest, secure their future, insure their lives, reduce all risk, and retire on a fat pension.
There is nothing wrong in providing for your future, but this spirit pervades our lives until life becomes soft and padded and all adventure is gone. We are so thickly wrapped in cotton wool that we can neither feel the pain of the world nor hear the Word Of God…
Jesus did not remain in the social immunity of heaven, or hide away in the safety of the skies. He entered the zone of danger, risking contamination…
How can we make safety our ambition?
What drives you?

Learning to love the other half
“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers“
1 Peter 3:7 (NIV)
Everything happens for this purpose
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realise this. For the world was built to develop charcter and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in marching onward.
