SPEAK UP!

Jeremiah 1:5-7 (New Living Translation)
5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born I set you apart
and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”
7 The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.

Don't underestimate yourself. God will give you the words. All we need to do is open our mouth.

HIS MASTERPIECE

Ephesians 2:10 (New Living Translation)
10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

God has a plan for us. He created us with purpose in mind. We are His Masterpiece, His Artwork, His design. He wants us to reach the dream that he has for us!

JUST STEP

James 1:22 (New Living Translation)
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

"You are chosen for your abilities & your potential, not your experience. There is a NEW thing that God needs us to step into!" -Calvena Moe

Let's decide to Step into that NEW thing that God has for us! Let's change our ways from just 'hearing' what God is saying to 'doing' what it is He is saying.

Don't Be a Dead-Sea Christian

This bears repeating: "MY HAND IS GODS HAND"

Pastor Joe Onosai ministered again about our hands being Gods hands.

Let us NOT be like the Dead Sea. Let us NOT sit in church week after week, service after service taking it all in, soaking up the Word... and then going home and forgetting all about it - Never applying it. The Dead Sea is called the Dead Sea because it is so salty that nothing can live in it. Everything runs into the Dead Sea, but nothing goes out. It becomes stagnant. If we continue to sit in church and never Reach Out, never Share the Word with someone else, then we become stagnant - Dead.

Proverbs 3:27 (The Message)
^27-29 Never walk away from someone who deserves help;
your hand is God's hand for that person.
Don't tell your neighbor "Maybe some other time"
or "Try me tomorrow"
when the money's right there in your pocket.
Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor
when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.

HIS HANDS ARE OUR HANDS

"Gods hand is your hand. God uses people to touch people. Look at your hand and say: ‘Hand, you are Gods hand'." -Pastor Joe Onosai

Proverbs 3:27 (The Message)^27-29 Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person. Don't tell your neighbor "Maybe some other time" or "Try me tomorrow" when the money's right there in your pocket. Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.

God cannot do anything unless it is through us. Allow God to use you today. Allow him to bring breakthrough and miracles to others THROUGH you.

FOR LOVE OR FOR MONEY

2Corinthians 5:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

"It should be the Love of Christ that Compels us, not our personal gain." -Wally Matanza [2 Corinth 5:14]

How many people would you share Jesus with if you were given $100 per person? Why is it that we are more motivated by Money and not because of the Love of Christ all by itself?

"GIVE UP" IS NOT AN OPTION

"Make 'Quit' no longer an option in your life" -Dr. Jerry Savelle.

Galatians 6:9 (tmb)
So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

When things get tough, that's when you know that your breakthrough is near - that is when you know that your miracle is about to manifest, so stand your ground! Don't give up! remind yourself of Gods promises to you and your family.

Ask yourself: "What motivates me when tough situations arise?"

We should all settle in our hearts that 'Giving up' is NOT an option anymore!
