God Wants to Work Through You, Not Just For You
We often pray for provision—but what if God wants participation?
No I’m not saying He needs your help. But He wants your involvement. Why? Because faith grows when you move with Him.
If you’ve been shrinking back, playing it safe, or just trying to survive— I believe God is saying it’s time to dream again. Not just following your dreams, but stepping into God’s dreams for your life, which are always bigger than you think.If you want to walk in God’s dream, your first move is to put His dream ahead of yours. When you do, you’ll see Him open doors, pour out resources and somehow orchestrate events you couldn’t make happen in a million years. I know it’s true because I have seen it happen so many times I had to pinch myself that I wasn’t dreaming when it happened!

The early church, as described in Acts 2:41-42, 46-47, provides a clear model for how believers should engage in church life just as much where you are now as they were then. It highlights essential aspects of a true church such as fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry. I have talked before about they each ‘devoted themselves’ (nobody but you can devote you) to the Word, Worship and One Another, they shared their Wealth and saw Wonders that made the world say ‘WOW!” As members of the body of Christ today, we cannot settle for less and must pray for and deliberately participate in these areas to ensure a thriving and unified church community. The Power of Fellowship Fellowship is the heartbeat of the church. Acts 2:42 emphasises that the early believers “continued steadfastly” in fellowship. This means they stuck at it, there were no church shoppers or hoppers – they were intentional and consistent in connecting with one another. As 1 John 1:3-4 reminds us, our joy is made […]
When we ‘give our lives to Christ’ we don’t just give him our past sins, we actually die to the old Βίος (Bios) life in order to receive the everlasting Ζωή (Zoe) life!
It’s Time to Grow Up.
Ephesians 4:14-15 says none of us are meant to stay as spiritual infants. I’ve met people in churches who’ve told me they’ve been Christians for 30 years – when the truth is they’ve actually been Christian for one year, 30 times!
One woman slept nightly with her pet python sprawled across her body. Eventually, the snake stopped eating so she was worried about it. A vet discovered the snake was curling itself around her to size her up, and starving itself as preparation to devour her!
