Go! And make disciples.

Jesus said 'Go and make disciples,' and a huge part of this is in the mindset, in how we see. So often I go thru life and survive. Go thru each day wondering what I'd like to do or think about the tasks that have to be completed. But to fulfil the great commission requires us to see beyond the here and now and look to prioritise God's work ahead of all else. So when I walk around do I set my mind on God, listen out for His promptings, His voice or do I do what I want? One way is a way of purpose, one way is aimless drifting. What is required? A ' proactive, front footed, seeking opportunities to build the church' mindset. Each person is hugely important to God. Each person has their own set of needs and hurts and all need Jesus. So as u go thru life look at every person and remain open to God, asking Him how to give, to love, to bless each person. It may be as simple as a prayer, it may be a smile, a kind word. Whatever always be on your look out to bless. And let God work thru u.

Life is an adventure.

There is a glorious future that God has in store for each and every one of us. It is a future that has Him at the centre and has us fulfilling our true potential for His Kingdom. It is one that will see the most impact for eternity. It is one that sees His Kingdom come and His will done. It has the most incredible blessings where our lives are satisfied with Jesus and peace and love and joy are abundant.

To inherit this future is in our hands. The promises of God are inherited by faith and patience. Keep trusting, keep believing, keep persevering. Let us dream for the supernatural to break out.  Let us believe for huge things from God.  

And never let fear rob us of what is possible. Never listen to it for a second. Never worry about other's opinions. Let us not make our choices out of fear but faith.

Fear is the opposite of faith. It will drain us of our belief. Let us not be afraid because The Lord is with us. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. His love will kick out fear. If we come to Him in our weakness He makes strong. He will turn fear to boldness.
