Vision

Proverbs 29:18 " Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Do you really know why you are here? Some people are just roaming around without a vision. We tend to get lost in to what circumstances and other people lead us to. We don't really stick to our vision and purpose because of different reasons including fear. Some of us don't even know what our purpose is because we have not asked God and taken time to listen and wait for the answer. We settle to be puppets of people and circumstances. At the end of your life, will you be fulfilled? I encourage you today not to hide behind people and circumstances but stand out and let the light that God has given you to shine. Don't let it be snuffed out by people and circumstances. DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOU ARE NOT FREE TO DO GOD'S WILL. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.

Romans 8:29-39. Moving to another level

29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.Nay, in

Give Up

Sometimes when you are in Gods path, there are situations that may come your way and you can be tempted to give up. Things will not always go your way but remember God is still in control. I have witnessed a lot of people giving up on God and taking their own path. I am encouraging you today not to give up. All the tests that come your way are intended to train you and make you stronger. All the obstacles that are on your way are going to be removed, one way or another. Just put it in the hands of God, He knows what to do. I hope you are encouraged today not to give up. The Lord will renew your strength and you will soar once again like an eagle. Do not give up, He is holding your hand.

Eagles

Today one of the people I work with talked to me about Eagles and how the mother eagle drops its chicks when it teaches them to fly. It lets them drop and then it goes down to pick them before the chicks reach drop to the ground. It does this repeatedly until the chicks fly on their own. This is the same way God treats us. He drops us and before we reach the ground He picks us up again. God loves us so much He wants to see us sowing like eagles. There are a lot of things that God can allow into our lives but they all have a purpose. they teach us something. God loves us that much. Sometimes we may not understand how God shows love but eventually we will understand. Don't worry don't be afraid God will pick you up and after that you will soar like an eagle. He is allowing everything you are experiencing and everything you have experienced in the past. FLY!! PEOPLE!! FLY!!

The Enemy "Time Waster"

Many times I hear people saying "the devil did this and that" and forget that they are Christians. Everything and I mean everything that happens to us as children of God happen because God allows it to happen. It may pain him to allow certain things to happen to us but the truth is He is still in control. We give the devil or Satan too much credit. Everything weather good or bad which happens to me happens because God loves me. I am not going to go around rebuking the devil for everything but instead thank God for victory and deliverance. I have no time to waste fighting the enemy. I just do that automatically by doing the will of God. As I do the will of God He automatically gives me victory. we resist the enemy by doing the will of God and living in obedience.

Growing Christians

Hebrews 6:1-3 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit" . As I was looking at this scripture I realized that it is important to grow as a child of God. Many times we just get stuck on the foundations of Christianity and not move forward. The Bible is a very huge book and it has a lot of teachings. Unfortunately we as pastors don't teach all of it. We get stuck on what we like and therefore our churches become stagnant. Weather we like it or not, the people we lead, look at us and asses the way we do things. It is very possible that when we don't grow as leaders, people who are following us will also not grow. They may get stuck just like us. Let us grow, let us study the word. Let
