Seeing A Greater Purpose In Adversity

TGIFBut Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” – Acts 16:28


Paul and Silas had just been thrown into prison. An earthquake erupted and the jail cell was opened. It’s Paul and Silas’ opportunity. “Deliverance! Praise God!” might be the appropriate response. But this is not what Paul and Silas did. In fact, rather than leave, they sat quietly in their cell area. The guard, in fear of his life, knew that it would be automatic death if prisoners escaped. Paul and Silas did not leave because they saw a higher purpose for which they were in prison. They were not looking at their circumstance; they were much more concerned about the unsaved guard. The story goes on to explain how Paul and Silas went home with the guard and his family. Not only did the guard get saved, but his entire household as well.

A boy and his lunch

Boy with bread


God is looking for people to stand in the gap. Take the disciples, who were instructed to find food for the hungry multitude — they panicked.


It’s as if they looked at the massive need and it was bigger than they could comprehend. They worried about how they were going to pull this off, feeding some 5,000 people. Without God they could not, and without them God was not; because the Lord often uses people to reveal his majesty, glory and power. Regardless of the odds, the disciples went out into the crowd in search of food.

Die vissie

Die klein vissie swem, duidelik gestres, op en af in die middel van die oseaan. Hy swem by die groot vis verby, en die ou kan sommer dadelik sien daar’s fout. Hy roep die klein vissie terug en vra hom waarna hy so ernstig opsoek is. Die vissie sê toe

Deur God se genade kan jy oorwin!

Die West Point militêre akademie het twee maal geweier om Generaal MacArthur toelating te gee. Die derde keer is hy egter toegelaat en sy naam is op die ou-end in die geskiedenisboeke opgeskryf. Die San Francisco Examiner het ‘n brief aan Rudyard Kipling geskryf wat gelui het: “Jammer mnr. Kipling, maar jy weet net glad nie hoe om die Engelse taal te gebruik nie.” Nadat hy sy lewe lank keer op keer verloor het, het Winston Churchill op 65-jarige ouderdom een van Brittanje se grootste Eersteministers geword.

Enrico Caruso se musiekonderwyser het vir hom gesê dat hy “nie ‘n stem het nie en glad nie kan sing nie.” Einstein se skoolonderwysers het hom beskryf as “verstandelik traag, onsosiaal en verlore in sy dwase drome.” Teen die tyd dat hy 46 jaar oud was, was Beethoven stokdoof, maar tog het hy vyf van sy grooste simfonieë geskryf sonder dat hy ‘n noot kon hoor.

A Rhema Word

For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field. – Job 5:23a When I first met my wife, I was impressed to do something rather strange. I decided I would send her a rock in a box with a Scripture verse that describes how God used stones

Angels Story

Immanuel

Angels StoryThe King walked over and reached for the book. He turned it toward Lucifer and commanded, “Come, Deceiver, read the name of the One who will call your bluff.

Read the name of the One who will storm your gates.”

Satan rose slowly off his haunches. Like a wary wolf, he walked a wide circle toward the desk until he stood before the volume and read the word:

“Immanuel?” he muttered to himself, then spoke in a tone of disbelief. “God with us?” For the first time the hooded head turned squarely toward the face of the Father. “No. Not even You would do that. Not even You would go so far.”

“You’ve never believed me, Satan.”

Prophetic Word 2008

LionGod said “ You have come a long way. You have spend many days and nights thinking of My involvement in your life, thinking of the course you are on, thinking about the unknown destination you are heading for. You have wondered about the accuracy of your course.

Let Me show you today how close you are to My Glory that will manifest in your life this year. This is the year of My manifested Glory in those who believe in Me and My servants that I raised up to proclaim my Word. You did not criticize and slander them, but supported them, walked with them, felt their pain, comforted them with kind and faithful words .

Your journey up to 2008 was a long journey of faith and revelation of My Word that you treasured and spoke as the truth . This is the year I will manifest My Glory in My people like never before .

This is the year where people will clearly see God is with you .

People will bring you their favour and respect . They will come closer to you because of the anointing of the manifested Glory of God in you .

Favour of unknown proportions will come to us .

Kings and Priests

TGIFAnd hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. – Revelation 5:10 KJV

The Bible describes two distinct roles in the Old Testament-kings and priests. Kings were the rulers; priests were the religious leaders. The New Testament reveals we all are kings and priests because of the redemptive work of Christ.

Today, kings are most often represented by business and political leaders, while pastors represent the priestly roles. God calls each of us to fulfill both roles in our lives today. However, our vocational roles often create a division that is misunderstood by both workplace believers and pastors. These misunderstandings have led to a weakened and less effective Church.

Wees ‘n vredemaker

Wanneer jy op ‘n konfliksituasie afkom, het jy altyd twee keuses, jy kan bydra tot die spanning en die moeilikheid aanvuur of jy kan vrede bewerkstellig. Jy kan ‘n moeilikheidmaker of ‘n vredemaker wees. Zig Ziglar vertel ‘n verhaal van ‘n klein seuntjie wat deur drie boelies gepla is. Enigeen
