Drop The Excess Baggage - That's The Only Way You'll Win!

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14 KJV)

The only way you can move forward is if you leave the EXCESS BAGGAGE behind.

I had quite a challenging night, last night when reality hit. I was thinking about some choices and decisions that I made throughout my twenty-five years on this earth. Some of them I am quite happy about and others I wish I could just erase and turn back the hands of time.

I know you know what I'm talking about. If we had to live our lives over again, some of us would ensure we stayed focused in school so we did better at the end of High School. Some of us would ensure that we had settled down with a partner instead of having children here and there. Some of us would have built our house a little earlier or applied for a piece of land before. Some of us would have put our idea to work and now regret that we didn't because someone else has taken it and has a lucrative business going. Some of us would have saved more when things were better and be cautious about every dollar. I know, last but not least, some of us would ensure that we NEVER MET some people who damaged our lives someway or the other.

While preparing a sermon during the wee hours of this morning for a Youth Sunday Service, God gave me some words under one of the Three Points up for discussion throughout the message. Interestingly enough, the word was directly for me too - actually for all of us.

God wanted me to encourage the young people to DROP THE EXCESS BAGGAGE if they are to move on to their DESTINY.

Here is how you deal with any piece of Baggage or Obstacle that is damaging your mind or preventing you from moving on in life or is hindering your walk with Christ.Whether it be business, jewelry, relationship etc. You have to Speak to the EXCESS BAGGAGE TODAY - What ever it is.

From the Sermon Script: Say. . .

Excuse me please EXCESS BAGGAGE. I would like to have a few seconds of your time. With all due respect, I want you to know that I’m MOVING ON. I’ve examined my life and I’ve come to realize that you are just a piece of EXCESS BAGGAGE keeping me back from my destiny – so I’m leaving you here and I’m moving on! Good Soldiers Do Not Carry Excess Baggage!

Paul had ONE goal in mind. It was to win the race. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14 KJV)

In order to win the race, he recognized that he had to leave every piece of excess baggage behind and and MOVE ON. So too friend, if you are to reach your goal and fulfill your dreams, you can no longer allow obstacles on Life's Track to Hold You Back.

I can't undo what I have done, neither can you. What we can do though, is to leave our past at the feet of Jesus and move forward with a New Mindset to make the best of what is ahead.

Drop the Excess Baggage - Hope is Ahead!

Dust Off And Get Back Up

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. (Acts 2:41 KJV)

The ONLY PERFECT person to ever walk the face of planet earth was Jesus Christ.

Thus, after such a factual statement, I think it is very safe to say that we all sin at times. It is not right, and I am not saying that it is OK, but it is also a FACT. We sin in thought, in word and in deed. While I do not wish to classify sins into small and large because sin is sin," there are times when persons make some very serious mistakes by allowing their sinful nature to take preeminence.

Many of those people then become bottled up, to themselves and feel like they are a failure. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Probably as you read this now, you feel that you fall right into that bracket.

I want you to change that negative mindset from today. No matter what you've done or how you regret what you've done, there is still HOPE. God isn't like MAN - he forgives, forgets and moves on. While browsing the internet a few days ago, I came across an interesting thought that I posted on Dare 2 Be Different's facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/daretobedifferentskn), and I had to share it with you. It said,

Do something right, no one remembers. Do something wrong, no one forgets.(UNKNOWN)

Why did I interject that thought right there? You probably ask. I have, simply because we live in a society - a world where many persons simply AIM to keep you down when you make a mistake. They talk bad about you behind your back and call you down in front your face. By the way they treat you, it would seem like you are the only person who ever made a mistake - RIGHT?

Many persons in the Bible sinned. They made mistakes. What I like though about many of them, is that they repented, they said sorry to God. Having done that, they DUSTED OFF and GOT BACK UP AGAIN.

Remember Peter? He was like Jesus' right hand man when he walked the earth. As Jesus suffered on the way to the cross, Peter was being identified as someone who was with CHRIST. I believe not wanting to suffer like that and probably soar afraid, he lied and denied Christ three times. On the last, he cursed to make an impression that he wasn't with Jesus. He had sinned!

This very same PETER, was able to repent though and DUST OFF AND GET BACK UP. We are told that it was this same PETER who had sinned and repented, was able to preach a WORD on the day of Pentecost and cause some three thousand people to change their lives.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. (Acts 2:41 KJV)

So too friend, no matter what you have done in your life, once you repent and ask God to forgive you, you can still be a DIFFERENCE MAKER. You can still make a BIG IMPACT. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Dust Off And Get Back Up - HOPE IS AHEAD!

DEVELOP

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:40 KJV)

Ensure that you let every situation - every circumstance DEVELOP you.

Anytime I face a challenging trial or circumstance, my mother would say, "If your grandfather was around, he would say Khrystus DEVELOP - DEVELOP - DEVELOP."

I wasn't fortunate enough to meet him though, but when ever my mother says those words, I believe I understand well what he would have meant then.

You see, it is a truth that each of us is bound to face challenging situations in our lives. We can't stop that. Daniel came up against haters who got him thrown in the lion's den. Moses had to deal with an ungrateful people who he had led out of bondage. Even Jesus came up against a jealous set of people called Scribes and Pharisees.

So too, we will have our times of trial too. My grandpa's words suggest that we should never be bent or affected by our current situation, but rather hold on to God, who is a firm foundation then learn and grow.

In the book of Luke 2, we have a great example of how we should DEVELOP. Nothing much is really mentioned of Jesus' childhood life, except a few statements here and there. One statement in Luke 2:40 states that Jesus DEVELOPED a strong spirit. As He DEVELOPED, He was thus filled with wisdom. As he DEVELOPED, the grace of God was upon him.

He had to be connected to His Father for this to happen.

So too, let's learn from His example, stay connected and under the will of GOD and let circumstances DEVELOP us into better people and not break us at all.

Remember, despite what ever you are going through, Psalms 107:1 says, O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

God will be right there for you. So simply ENDURE and DEVELOP.

HOPE IS AHEAD!

Are You Fully Ready?

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 24:44 KJV)

You Can't Be Half Ready - You Won't Be Let In!

The organizers seemed to have known that I'm always on call and busy for Christ and so they invited me to host their One Love Gospel Concert weeks and weeks in advance. Every week they checked up to see that nothing was clashing. This had to be a sign that God wanted me there. We actually had a Dare 2 Be Different Mega Event scheduled for Saturday last, but after their persistence, I rescheduled plans for the Youth.

About thirty minutes before getting ready for this concert, God gave me a WORD. He said I want you to host the concert dressed HALF-READY. If you know me well, that wasn't a problem for me at all. I didn't question Him, I just got HALF-DRESSED.

When I went to my mother's room to bid her farewell until later, I saw that her face dropped. I knew what she was thinking. "What is my crazy son up to now?" She asked in a bit of an annoyed voice - "Boy - aren't you going to host a concert." I responded, "Yes mom, I'm just doing what God wants me to do."

Upon exiting the vehicle that I drove in the heart of Basseterre, I immediately got much attention. Drivers, onlookers, concert attendees all gazed at my crazy dressing. Some I assume, who don't know me - know me - that well, wondered if I had gone crazy. Others mumbled, I can't go with that boy see. Others said, "Only Khrystus Eh - He really Dares to Be Different."

I wasn't too concerned with those CHRISTIANS who were already saved and asking questions. I was on a mission from the Lord and so I didn't play the fool or laugh or make much fun throughout the night. I was serious all night long. As unsaved passed by and laughed and asked, "boy why you dressed so?" I had the ready response for them.

I said, "I'm happy you asked. Do you think if the governor were having a ball and I showed up by the door to enter, would I be let in?" Nearly every person had a similar answer throughout the night whenever I asked that question. They all said, "No or No Way."

I would then respond, "Exactly! It's the same way you won't be LET INTO HEAVEN if you're half ready. You must accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour of Your Life and Be Always Fully Ready To Meet Your Maker."

As passerbys, onlookers and concert attendees heard me explain why I was dressed like that, many of them stopped laughing and immediately became serious. I got them thinking. In my heart, I was happy because I know that's what God wanted to happen.

Interestingly enough, a murder had just occurred the night before and I asked many persons, if they were to lose their lives that night, would they be FULLY READY to meet Jesus?

Saturday 18th February, 2012 has been added to my history books as the day I got to tell the most people about Jesus Christ in a single day, and not from the pulpit. I didn't go out with a track and beckon them to come to Jesus. Instead, many came to me out of curiosity and got a Word From the Lord simply because of my "HALF-DRESSED STYLE."

After I was finished hosting that concert, I drove to Sandy Point - St. Kitts to witness the end of Hosanna 2012 and I got the very same response. I got to share my faith by the way I was dressed.

Friend - It's your turn now. Are you half-ready or FULLY-READY to meet Jesus if you were to pass on in the next minute or two. Don't risk it, accept Jesus Today.

Mind you, I didn't ask if you were half-perfect or FULLY-PERFECT because God isn't looking for you to come clean, he is looking to do the cleaning HIMSELF.

Matthew 24:44 says, therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Just as you are ready for God to work some sought of deliverance miracle in your life, you must be ready too - to give him your entire life so he can prepare a NEW HOPE FOR YOU AHEAD.

Are you fully ready?
