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!
“You must believe in the power of that message to save people..”
David’s greatness as a leader wasn’t in his strength or skill—it was in his seeking. He wanted to hear and follow God’s guidance. So he didn’t just ask “Can I?” but “Shall I?”
Can I – assumes capability
Shall I – asks for confirmation
If you have a mortgage right now, as you live in the property you may think you own a house – but really you don’t. As people who get over their head in debt too often discover, until the final payment is made, it’s the bank that owns the house. If you get together enough money to pay off a loan, you ask for the redemption figure – what’s still owed. Redemption is that final payment.
To grasp the power of the blood, we must first grasp the heart of the One who first shed it to cover the sins of Adam and Eve, then on the cross shed it for us.
Why Commitment Matters The word “commit” means to pledge, dedicate, and give oneself fully to a purpose. Yet, we live in a world that resists commitment. Many fear making commitments, worried they might miss out on something better. Ironically, the opposite is true—by avoiding commitment, we miss out on the greatest opportunities life has to offer. As I approach my 6th decade soon, I see looking back that everything that’s great in my life came on the other side of a commitment I have made and kept. The Bible reminds us: “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and should not think he will receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:8). History and experience show that those who accomplish great things do so because they fully commit. Nobody ever went out for a walk and found themselves at the top of Everest. You don’t accidentally achieve greatness; it requires intentional dedication. The Impact of Commitment in Ministry I write this blog with church leaders in mind – and hopefully you know that commitment is key to a thriving […]
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!
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!
Heaven’s desire and decree is for 2025 to be a year of EXPANSION as the Lord is calling us to stretch wider, dig deeper, and expand beyond what we have yet experienced or ever imagined.
Here’s how I want this vision to inspire and shape my own leadership in 2025 and I invite you to consider it too.
