"Don't let
what you can't do, interfere with what you can do" - John Wooden - "Life is too short a game Not to win" - Pastor Jim - In society today, many seem captivated by sound bites and bumper stickers. It seems as if people no longer want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. What seems to tickle the ears and we the palate, is brief statements that can be easily ingested and at some point regurgitated, with or without understanding. This section will deal with brief statements which, when meditated, will bring great insight. They may also be used to spur creative conversation or dialogue on this subject. They could be used to inspire teaching or creative writing towards societal invasion, or, they will at least make good sound bites. Discipleship should be like apprenticeship, you are under Messiah for training beside Him for relationship and representing Him in the work you do. Developing a new generation of Kingdom mindset renewed Believers, who participate in Kingdom of God manifestation, is the message of the hour. Wherever you are in the world, the Kingdom within you, can change it. Recognize the workplace as a ministry opportunity. Most people spend 40 out of their allotted 168 hours per week at the workplace. Make these hours count. Develop your 8 to 5 missions call. Nations are made up of cities, cities are made up of workplaces and living spaces, workplaces and living places are filled with people, people are what people are about. To harvest a new generation, learn to speak the language of their discipline. The faith you don't share, changes no one. The example you don't live, inspires no one. A Kingdom of God people, doing Kingdom Business, Fulfilling Kingdom Promise, Bringing about Kingdom Dominion. Raising up, a Genesis 1:26,28 people. In the world system, what you neglect will come back to bite you. What you don't cultivate will dominate- (hoe the field or the weeds will rule) "the cares of this world, choke the Word"... Living Kingdom life, requires activating Kingdom promises and laying hold of Kingdom provision. Your workplace arena is a megaphone for your ministry. A display case for your gifts, talents and abilities. Your ministry is to make God and His Kingdom rule, known in the earth Many plans and pursuits are devised in the mind of men. God's will is revealed in man's heart. The purposes of God, engrafted to the heart of man are always more powerful and productive than is the product of mans mind. The plans of man come and go, with the tide, with time, with societal change. The purpose of God is eternally the same. God never changes His purpose, His mind, His heart, His Word or His will. Clarity of direction is found in His steadfast changeless nature. Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans of men, but the purpose of the Lord will prevail. King James Version There are many devices in a man's heart: nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. Revised Standard Version Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. New English Bible A man's heart may be full of schemes, but the Lord's purpose will prevail. Sprl Changeable are the devises in the heart of man But Jehovah's counsel, that, shall endure. God has a purpose for His man, Man usually has a problem for his God. Faith is the ingredient placed between promise and performance. Life is what occurs while you're making other plans.
