2021-11-29 17:41:21 GET READY TO RECEIVE

ONE VERY HOT AFTERNOON, at a school picnic, a teacher was going round with a gallon of cool drink and ladling out portions to the thirsty. He came to a small boy who had had a busy morning. He was sweating profusely, obviously quite hot. He was clearly thirsty. There the teacher was with the gallon of cool drink and a desire to get rid of it speedily. Nothing would have given him greater pleasure than to give his young friend all he could drink. But he had no cup. He had no way of receiving what the teacher was offering freely. Fortunately someone was able to come and give a cup and the lad did not die of thirst in the midst of plenty. But the cup he eventually held out in no way merited the gift. The cup was indispensable. Without it he could not receive the cool drink. But the cup was no more than the means by which he received it.

“You can’t ask God for something and then not be prepared to receive. . . “

More often than not, the breakthrough we seek is only delayed because we have not made room to receive it — we are unwilling to let go of the past, or the present, or something... So long as the ‘old car’ is parked in ‘the driveway’, it’s going to be very difficult (if not impossible) to let the ‘new car’ in. How do you receive anything at all with clenched fists?

Let go. Make room. Prepare for what is coming. Prepare for the rain. Prepare for what you asked for. Because it’s coming!

2021-11-15 21:11:46 Today’s encouragement is about being intentional about the things that happen to us...

The success or otherwise of our goals is primarily dependent on the day-to-day decisions we take (or don't take) in order to realize them.

The result you seek is at end of a push. Nothing happens until you have pushed.


"To live intentionally implies that it is not always going to be convenient, but it is what is going to take you to significance if you do not give up"

2021-10-04 11:24:29 YOU WILL SURVIVE

Whenever life puts us in a hard place, we often have one of two choices— we could either decide to complain all we want and do nothing which will do very little to improve our situation, or we could make the often unpleasant choice of doing what is necessary.

When life puts you in a hard place, do the hard thing. Giving up should never be an option. That's how you survive.

2021-09-25 20:42:49 AS CHRISTIANS, we are called to the highest of ideals. We believe and understand various "spiritual" mysteries, but grapple and struggle almost constantly with living lives of integrity. Unfortunately, there are countless examples of Christian leaders who suffered great falls where it was made clear that their private lives look vastly different from the carefully curated lives they lived in front of their audiences.

God calls us to another way — a better way. He calls us to be light! He calls us to a life of integrity.

The conversation on integrity continues with Dr. Kenneth Atobrah-Apraku in today's CONVO.


INTEGRITY w/ Dr. Kenneth Atobrah-Apraku — S03E02


“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot”.
—Matthew 5:13
